{"title":"KNOWLEDGE AND PRACTICES OF FAMILY CAREGIVERS OF TERMINALLY ILL PATIENTS AT THE TAMALE REGIONAL HOSPITAL","authors":"Afia Kwakyewaa Owusu-Agyeman, Eric Tornu, Abdulai Abdul Malik, Catherine Kyiu, Faustina Yin Yariga, Safura Seidu, Ababio-Boamah Christopher, Ofei Philemon Ashirifie, Owusu Samuel","doi":"10.53555/ephijse.v9i3.221","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.53555/ephijse.v9i3.221","url":null,"abstract":"The goal of this study was to evaluate the knowledge of family Caregivers in caring for terminally ill sufferers, to assess the practices of household Caregivers in caring for terminally ill sufferers, to examine the factors affecting household Caregivers in caring for terminally ill sufferers at the Tamale Regional Hospital. The findings show that there is the need for a caregiver to be present and ready to offer help to the patients due to their inability to move. Terminally ill patients may mostly be immobile or incapable of performing basic life functions without external support. It appears from the engagement with respondents that, the latter have appreciable knowledge of the concept of palliative care and care for terminally ill patients. They understand the challenging situation of terminally ill patients and are equally aware of what constitutes care for the sufferer. Also, family caregiver showed evidence of knowledge of health workers role in palliative care. They indicated that health workers had a crucial role to play in giving palliative care to the terminally ill patient. Doctors had the responsibility of prescribing medications while nurses also educate relatives and caregivers on palliative care. More so, health workers assisted in the caring of patients by assisting caregivers to physically move patients. Caregivers who could not move their patients due to the latters weight had to be assisted by some health workers. The result also indicates health workers played a crucial role in caring for terminally ill patients, of which caregivers were aware. The study further found that the other effect of caring for terminally ill patients was financial demands. To overcome this burden, the study recommends that caregivers had to cut their expenditures and request financial support from relatives and friends as family support was also a mechanism used in coping with the burden of caring for terminally ill patients. Also, the Tamale Regional Hospital should incorporate the services of family caregivers in the care of terminally ill patients. Their competence would immensely contribute to the improvement in the health of terminally ill patients. Further, the Ministry of Health should develop policies that will lessen burden on family caregivers of patients suffering from terminal diseases.","PeriodicalId":354866,"journal":{"name":"EPH - International Journal of Science And Engineering","volume":"70 5","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-12-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"138953036","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Addressing the dynamic variations and evolving challenges posedby cyber threats requires robust strategies in cybersecurity. This paper investigates methods to safeguard the stability ofthe power grid against cyber intrusions and system variations. This study delves into the multifaceted nature of cyberthreats targeting the power grid and analyzes the dynamic variations within the system that could be exploited bymalicious actors. This paper presents a comprehensive framework encompassing proactive and reactive cybersecuritymeasures. Reactive measures include incident response plans, rapid recovery protocols, and the integration of machinelearning and artificial intelligence for real-time threat detection and mitigation. Moreover, considering the interconnectednature of the power grid, this study explores collaborative approaches among stakeholders, such as utility companies,government bodies, regulatory authorities, and cybersecurity experts, to foster information sharing, best practices, andstandardized protocols. Ultimately, this paper serves as a guide for policymakers, grid operators, and cybersecurityprofessionals to develop robust strategies that safeguard the stability of the power grid in the face of evolving cyberthreats and system dynamics.

Data stream mining indicates how to look at Unknown patterns from a massive amount of data over algorithms. It has experienced quick improvement with significant progress in math, statistics, data science, and computer science domains. Data streams are commonly generated by various sources such as sensor networks, social media feeds, financial transactions, online retail, network traffic, and many other applications. The gathered data could be additionally utilized for various purposes, for example, execution assessment, irregularity discovery, change identification, or issue finding of the operating systems. This data stream analysis is done using different data stream mining techniques. This paper provides a broad overview of the distinct approaches used for data stream mining. Initially, we studied the different techniques of data stream mining. Next, we discuss the different clustering and classification techniques and their benefits. Then we examine the evaluation of different data stream mining techniques results that some techniques are feasible for real-time data streams and some of not. This study provides a complete understanding of techniques and their benefits. The studies done so far need to be sufficiently exhaustive for data mining techniques, so future work is needed to assess which technique is feasible for real-time data streams.","PeriodicalId":354866,"journal":{"name":"EPH - International Journal of Science And Engineering","volume":"12 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-08-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134550297","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The findings of the study served as the basis for the researcher to improve, update or enhance the curricula of the BSCS program to make this more responsive to the needs of fast-changing technology. 111 survey participants were gainfully employed; the majority held professional, technical, or supervisory positions; they obtained their first jobs in less than a year; they stayed in their first jobs for more than a year; the main reasons they changed jobs were career challenges, salaries, and benefits. The respondents found that the critical thinking, interpersonal communication, and problem-solving abilities acquired by BSCS graduates were extremely helpful in their current jobs. The respondents considered the work-related values they learned in the university's value formations to be extremely helpful to their current employment. It is strongly recommended that the graduating students before graduation must be given ample time to experience pre-employment examinations and interviews.

The built model will help to reduce the danger of viral transmission. In this study, face mask detection is achieved using a machine learning algorithm and the classification method using MobileNetV2. The steps for building the model are data gathering, data pre-processing, splitting the data, testing the model, and implementing the model. The built model can distinguish between those who are wearing a face mask (with no design patterns) and those who are not wearing it with a 96% accuracy. In terms of classification accuracy, the proposed model using MobileNetV2 outperformed the other models LeNet-5, AlexNet, and ResNet-50. If the detected person is labeled with “no mask”, the system generates an alarm sound.
