The purpose of this multiple case study was to describe the five different cases of outstanding independent readers in the public secondary schools in Davao del Norte in terms of their life skills. The unique cases revolved around a campus journalist, a volleyball athlete, a student leader, a consistent honor student, and a student with autism spectrum. The cases were identified using maximum variation sampling, and in-depth interviews were employed to explore and gather data in this research. Salient findings were noted as to the experiences of outstanding independent readers which include early reading opportunities and support, sharing of reading abilities to other students, allocation of time for reading, and utilization of gadgets for reading. More so, their coping strategies were summarized in the following themes: enrichment of vocabulary, adoption of reading tactics, development of set of values for reading, and application of leadership skills. In the cross-case analysis of research data, all cases were generally similar. Notably, the only difference is that the student with autism preferred reading by himself unlike the other cases of students who viewed reading as a collaborative experience. It was realized that while cognitive capacities are essential in learning reading, socio-emotional aspects of outstanding readers such as their life skills must also be considered in schools.

The intent of this systematically reviewed literature was to assess the connection between students’ listening skills and their academic achievements. The researcher gathered previously conducted articles from Scopus data base. He examined papers that were released in the years from 2000-2022. To guide the review, the researcher performed six actions; systematic literature review using PRISMA method (Mihret, G. et al., 2024). Among 39 scrutinized articles, the researcher retained 12 articles. The researcher used key words: academic achievement, skill, academic performance, listening skill, listening comprehension and academic achievements to run his study. The retrieval date for articles was 16 of May 2024. The publication stage that the researcher used was final articles not article in press and the document type was articles which were published in English language. Predominantly, the subject areas he used were Social Sciences, Psychology and Arts and Humanities. The findings seem to suggest students learn instructions more successfully when they are quiet, concentrated, and not twitching. As a result, teachers may not need to repeat instructions as often. This means, students’ listening skill and their academic achievements have direct or positive relationships. Future research on the area indicated that when learners are eager and keen on listening, they will achieve their educational goals easily.

The available data supporting the use of physiotherapy as an intervention for dysphagia in post-stroke patients is the main topic of this studys literature review. A computerized database related to studies including physiotherapy among stroke patients was used in the investigation. There were fifteen articles that demonstrated the effects of physiotherapy on oropharyngeal dysphagia, the Masako technique, Mendelsons procedures, and the shakers maneuver on post-stroke patients. Among the top factors contributing to stroke patients incapacity and demise is oropharyngeal dysphagia (OD). Patients with OD who go undiagnosed and untreated have a higher chance of dying, spending a lengthy time in the hospital, contracting pneumonia, respiratory infections, malnutrition, and dehydration. Early detection of post-stroke oropharyngeal dysphagia (PSOD) is essential for lowering hospital admission and post-discharge morbidity and mortality rates.

Compressor nebulizers play a crucial role in treating respiratory conditions by facilitating the effective delivery of medications to the lungs. However, prolonged usage necessitates careful management to prevent overheating, which can compromise both device performance and patient safety. This study investigates the integration of an automated temperature controller into compressor nebulizers to address this issue along with its specific time of application to prevent excess use. Existing nebulizers on the market often lack overheating prevention mechanisms, requiring manual intervention to avoid damage. Leveraging the LM-35 temperature sensor, this research proposes a system that automatically shuts off the nebulizer when specific time of use is over or overheating is detected, subsequently resuming operation once temperatures have stabilized. By ensuring optimal device performance and patient support over extended periods, this innovation represents a significant advancement in respiratory care technology.

By ensuring optimal device performance and patient support over extended periods, this innovation represents a significant advancement in respiratory care technology. \u0000KEYWORDS: Compressor, Nebulizer, Temperature, Prevention, Overheating, LM-35, Care, Technology.","PeriodicalId":309586,"journal":{"name":"EPRA International Journal of Multidisciplinary Research (IJMR)","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-05-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141104906","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}
