Rule based Access control system in cloud based environment
These days, third-party cloud providers maintain Data distribution, Data Backups, and information sharing. So as to minimize the rate of management of the data. On the other hand, Security is the main reason the data backup or data distribution, since third-party maintains the cloud services. In the proposed work, we set up a method using Rule-based access control system which uses AES and RSA amalgamation and with the access control policy to attain a safe data manipulation. Our system is made of some set of cryptographic keys to avoid the involvement of third parties. Our proposed system, we introduce a role base sharing where access control lays in the organization itself, thus we assure with the security and confidentiality of the files that circulate in an organization where no third party involvement was encouraged.

A study to assess the effectiveness of information booklet on knowledge and knowledge of practice regarding role of nurse in corticosteroid therapy among staff nurses
Background and objectives Corticosteroid therapy are widely used therapy in every health setting to treat various disease conditions. The therapy has a lot of the adverse effects which can be prevented and monitored and also managed by the skill full nurse having competent knowledge and practice in the use of corticosteroid therapy. Many patients who receive corticosteroid therapy go home the same day or the other day, but nursing instruction is very necessary for improving the patient knowledge regarding the adverse effects of the therapy so to prevent the side effects of the therapy. Thus the nurses' knowledge and practice must be improved for the betterment of the care given to the patients. The objectives of this study were: 1. To assess the knowledge and practice score of subjects regarding the role of a nurse in corticosteroid therapy. 2. To administer information booklet 3. To determine the effectiveness of information booklet regarding the role of a nurse in corticosteroid therapy in terms of gain in knowledge and practice scores of subjects. 4. To find the association of pre-test scores of knowledge and practice of subjects with their selected socio-demographic variables. Method A quasi-experimental study with one group pre & post-test design was used to assess the effectiveness of Information Booklet on knowledge and practice regarding Role of Nurse in Corticosteroid Therapy. Simple random sampling technique (Probability) was used to collect data from 50subjects working at the selected health facility, Bengaluru. The data was collected and interpreted to assess the effectiveness of Information Booklet on knowledge and practice regarding Role of Nurse in Corticosteroid Therapy. Results The findings of the study with regard to pre-test knowledge assessment revealed that the mean percentage was 35.55% with a standard deviation of 7.64. In the pre-test knowledge level, 88% had inadequate knowledge. In the post-test, a significant increase in knowledge was found. However, in post-test, the mean percentage of knowledge was 86.55% with 6.46 standard deviation. In the post-test knowledge level, 94% had adequate knowledge. In pre-test knowledge of practice level, the mean percentage is 31.9% with a standard deviation of 4.56. There is a significant increase in practice level in post test with a mean percentage score of 80.7% with standard deviation 4.12 by the subjects. Interpretation and Conclusion The study proved that subjects had inadequate knowledge and knowledge of practice on Role of nurse in corticosteroid therapy. The finding of the study showed that the information booklet was highly effective in increasing knowledge and knowledge of practice on Role of nurse in corticosteroid therapy. In the post-test, a significant association was found with most of the variables of the subjects. The overall knowledge means a score of the pre-test was 35.55% with a standard deviation of 7.64 and an overall post-test score of knowledge was 86.55% with 6.46 standard deviation. The overall knowledge of practice means a score of the pre-test was 31.9% with standard deviation 4.56 and post test practice score was 80.7% with standard deviation 4.12. The ’t’ value of the knowledge is 16.32 %. It shows that there is a significant increase in knowledge after the administration of Information Booklet (IB).

Chitosan nanocarrier system for tumour targetting
The aim of this paper was to develop and characterize chitosan nanoparticle as a carrier for adriamycin delivery as chitosan nanoparticles are the potential delivery system for hydrophilic drugs due to its outstanding physicochemical and biological properties. Chitosan nanoparticles have gained more attention as drug delivery carriers because of their better stability, low toxicity, simple and mild preparation method, and providing versatile routes of administration. Chitosan nanoparticles containing the anticancer drug adriamycin was prepared by the ionic gelation technique and characterized by various techniques such as particle size analysis, FT-IR and Atomic Force Microscopy. Results showed that chitosan nanoparticles prepared are of uniform size with an average diameter of 90 nm and zeta potential 62.5mV with a high encapsulation efficiency of 91.9%. Adriamycin loading efficiencies were determined and release studies were performed in PBS at room temperature. The drug release rate of Adriamycin from the chitosan nanoparticles was approximately 60% showing the potential of chitosan nanoparticles as a sustained drug delivery system. Cytotoxicity tests showed that the Adriamycin-loaded chitosan had higher cell toxicity by delivering the drug to the tumour tissues than adriamycin alone.
