Background: First-aid (FA) is the providing of initial care for an illness or injury, by a non-expert but trained person, till medical treatment can be accessed. Aim of the study is to impart knowledge in first aid among students to build a safe and healthier community. The objectives of the study were to assess the basic knowledge and understanding of it among the school children, to find out their attitude and to provide appropriate education regarding first aid.Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted in randomly selected public school of Doiwala, Dehradun among all the school children of classes 9th to 12th. A pretested oral questionnaire was used to assess their knowledge and attitude about first aid. Knowledge, attitude and practices (KAP) about the first aid for common medical emergencies were assessed. Following which, education and training regarding first aid was provided to them. The data were presented as frequencies and percentages. Chi squared test was used as tests of significance.Results: Out of 441 students, majority (91%) had heard about the first aid of which the proportion of boys and girls were almost similar i.e. 92: 92.2. Only 17% of students complete knowledge of first aid and 33.3% of students had partial knowledge. On an average complete knowledge and partial knowledge was present only in 0.04 and 0.06 respectively.Conclusions:Students have revealed that first aid study is in the curriculum of the course but it seems from the study that practically no stress is being given in imparting knowledge regarding first aid in these schools. To conclude all students had shown their keen interest and positive attitude towards getting knowledge about first aid.
Generalized frames (g-frames) are natural generalization of standard frames whereas generalized frames for operators (Θ-g-frames) are g-frames in which the lower frame inequality is controlled by a linear bounded operator Θ on a Hilbert space. In this article, we study weaving properties of g-frames and Θ-g-frames. We present some sufficient conditions for Θ-g-frames to be woven. It is shown that the family of Θ-g-frames obtained by applying bounded operators (whose adjoint operator is surjective) to a family of weaving Θ-g-frames is woven. A class of weaving generalized frames is established by generalized frame operator. A Paley-Weiner type perturbation result for weaving Θ-g-frames is presented. Finally, we show that weaving g-Riesz bases need not behave same as weaving ordinary Riesz bases.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
