Business Strategies Influences in global Business for sustainable growth in Economic development
Get PDFCommunications and transportation technologies constantly change the world. The ease of interactions and transactions they afford has given rise to global business. However, just because being a global business is more possible doesn't necessarily make it easy. Business leaders and managers have many business strategies to create success in international markets,Technology which is the inevitable two tendency of the last century becomes a very effective especially in the business arena and reshapes the phenomenon of business competition. Ä°ncreasing the pressure competition day by day when world is shrinking continuously plays a role as the driving force in the Business competition which is the primary purpose of profit maximization of enterprises. A business process is composed of implementing various strategies onthe assetsand liabilities in a common pool.The process of transformation occurring in business structures is investigated by explaining the changing face of competition in the first part of the study within the framework of globalization and Business growth concept is described in detail that is fundamental dynamics of this transformationto process the business successful. Theoretical information that related to take business mergers and acquisitions are given as Business strategy on the second part
Minimization of Confounding in research in medical sciences
Get PDFConfounding variables are variables that the researcher failed to control, or eliminate, damaging the internal validity of an experiment. A confounding variable, also known as a third variable or a mediator variable, can adversely affect the relation between the independent variable and dependent variable. This may cause the researcher to analyze the results incorrectly. The results may show a false correlation between the dependent and independent variables, leading to an incorrect rejection of the null hypothesis. For example, a research group might design a study to determine if heavy drinkers die at a younger age. They proceed to design a study, and set about gathering data. Their results, and a series of statistical tests, indeed show that people who drink excessively are likely to die younger. Unfortunately, when the researchers do a crosscheck with their peers, the results are ripped apart, because their peers live just as long - maybe there is another factor, not measured, that influences both drinking and living age? In many fields of science, it is difficult to remove entirely all of the variables, especially outside the controlled conditions of a lab. A well-planned experimental design, and constant checks, will filter out the worst confounding variables. For example, randomizing groups, utilizing strict controls, and sound operationalization practice all contribute to eliminating potential third variables. In this work we explore types of confounding and how to control them
Dermatoglyphic characterization of Blood groups and its relevance to oral diseases-An in vivo Study
Get PDFBackground: Dermatoglyphics have proven to be an extremely useful tool to characterize various health and disease states, through decades of scientific research, the hand has come to be recognized as a powerful tool in the diagnosis of psychological, medical and congenital disorders. Aim: To determine if there is any significant co-relation between various blood groups and dermatoglyphic patterns. Settings and Design: In the present study Dermatoglyphic patterns of sixty subjects divided into 4 groups(A,AB,B,O) of 15 each were evaluated using Cummins and Midlo method and were correlated with predetermined blood groups .Methods and Material: The dermatoglyphic patterns of all individuals 10 palmar digits were recorded using stamp-pad method and the frequency of occurrence of type of dermatoglyphic pattern on fingertip of each digit was analysed.. Statistical Analysis: Data was subjected to statistical analysis and correlation of dermatoglyphic pattern with blood group was determined using chi sq test.Results and Conclusion:Whorls were highest in A blood group and lowest in B blood group, Loops were highest in O blood group and the difference was significant in AB blood group, Arches were highest in B and lowest in A blood group.Â
Role of Peritoneal Fluid Cytology in Gynaecological Cancers
Get PDFIntraperitoneal dissemination of disease is an important cause of morbidity and mortality among women with genital tract cancers.Peritoneal Fluid cytology is indispensable for diagnosis, prognosis,staging and ancillary studies in gynaecological Cancers. Peritoneal fluid was examined for the presence of tumor cells in 94 patients with ovarian and endometrial cancer. The findings were correlated with the type, grade, and stage of the tumor. Fluids that were positive for malignant cells were associated with serous and endometrioidcarcinomas of ovary more often than with carcinomas of other types. Patients with high-stage tumors of all types had positive fluids more often than those with low-stage tumors. The presence of tumor cells in the fluid indicated a worse prognosis at 2 years. Analysis of other factors that influence prognosis, however, revealed that this difference was related more specifically to the stage of the disease. Since the presence of tumor cells in abdominal fluid is a factor in the subclassification of Stage I and Stage II ovarian cancer, analysis of a larger group of patients with tumors in these stages is needed to establish the prognostic significance of positive cytological findings independent of other prognostic factors
Mixture toxicity of Cadmium and Manganese to the larvae of Chironomus tentans
Get PDFAcute toxicity of cadmium and manganese ions was determined using static bioassay after 24, 48, 72 and 96 hours of exposure separately. Based on the 96 hour LC50 values, acute toxicity of two metal combinations was determined keeping 1/10th of 96hr LC50 concentration of one metal constant and varying concentrations of another metal. Among the individual metals tested, cadmium is more toxic than manganese. Among the two metal combinations (Mn)+Cd was the most toxic than (Cd)+Mn metal mixture
History of plants and animal products in the treatment of human disease-A review
Get PDFAdvances in nutrition research during the past few decades have changed scientist’s understanding of the contribution of vegetarian diets and nonvegetarian diets to human health and disease. Diets largely based on plant foods, such as well-balanced vegetarian diets, could best prevent nutrient deficiencies as well as diet-related chronic diseases. However, restrictive or unbalanced vegetarian diets may lead to nutritional deficiencies, particularly in situations of high metabolic demand. Recent scientific advances seem to have resulted in a paradigm shift: diets largely based on plant foods, such as well-balanced vegetarian diets, are viewed more as improving health than as causing disease, in contrast with meat-based diets
Effect of Piper guineensees on physicochemical and organoleptic properties of watermelon (Citrulus lanatus) juice stored in refrigerator and ambient
Get PDFExtracted juice from watermelon containing 0.01gPiper guineensesstored in refrigerator (6±2 oC) and on the shelf (28±1oC) usingpolyethylene bottles was evaluated for physicochemical and organoleptic changes. pH, total soluble sugars, titratable acidity and organolepticevaluation of the juice was carried out till deterioration sets in. Results showed that the sample stored in therefrigerator kept for 7 days while the sample on the shelf lasted for 3 days. pH value decreased from 5.40 to 4.80 and 5.70 for the samplestored in the refrigerator and on the shelf respectively while TSS increased from 0.064%Brix to 0.435% Brix and 0.578%Brix for sample stored in refrigerator and shelf respectively. Titratable acidity decreased from 2.90 % to 0.20% and 0.50% for samples for the juice stored in the refrigerator and on shelf respectively.All these changes were statistically significant (p<0.05).The sample stored on the shelf lost its organoleptic qualities on the third day with an average value less than 2 for taste, smell and colour. However, the juice stored in the fridge lost its organoleptic qualities at the 7th day with an average value of 3.0, 2.90 and 2.80 for taste, smell andcolour respectively. From the results, juice extracted from water meloncannot be kept at ambient temperature beyond 3 days without proper refrigeration and an additive. This calls for alternative way of extending its shelf life in the absence of electricity supply using local spice like P. guineenses and to make it available during off season
Patented Pharmaceutical Reconstitutable Sustained Release Suspension
Get PDFAt the present time reconstitutable suspensions are obtainable in a market. Oral liquor suspensions are majorly designed for the patients with difficulty in swallowing. Reconstitutable suspensions necessitate water to prior for mixing. Sustained release (SR) suspensions aimed at controlling the rate of release by maintaining desire drug levels in the blood for long duration of time. An oral suspension could be the most excellent fitting dosage form intended for geriatric and pediatric patients. They comprise improvement of the rate and extent of drug absorption, higher patient compliance, reduction of side effects and taste masking of bitter drug.Reconstitutable SR suspensions are prepared by numerous novel approaches to design and development of variety of drugs. They are prepared by using a variety of polymer like Cellulose acetate, EC, HPMC phthalate, Eudragit, Xanthan gum etc. for enteric coating purpose, which are give controlled drug delivery from the granules. SR suspension developed into the research characterized by Scanning electron microscopy (SEM), particle size analysis, drug entrapment efficiency, and In-vitro Drug Release. SR suspension will be benefited to avoid fluctuations in blood drug plasma concentration and gives its action for an entire period of time
Cytogenetic and Morphological Effects of Gamma Radiation Induced Mutation in Groundnut Varieties in Nigeria
Get PDFGroundnut is one of Nigeria's cash crops and export commodities before the discovery of oil. Since then, there has been geometric decline in the production of the crop in Nigeria due incidence of pests and diseases as well as weeds coupled with poor farming systems, especially in Northern Nigeria. This present study was aimed at inducing gamma radiation at various doses so as to evaluate its effects cytogenetically and morphologically on various varieties of groundnut grown in Nigeria. Cytogenetic and morphological effects of gamma radiation were carried out on five groundnut varieties in Nigeria (UGA7, EX-Dakar, MDR8-19, RRB and RMP12). The crops were irradiated with gamma radiation at 15, 20, 30 and 35 Krad doses. Germination rate decreased with increased dose. 85% at 15Krad and 11% at 35 Krad growths were recorded. RRB and MDR8-19 varieties showed the highest growth rate after treatment (89%), while RMP12 (22%) was the lowest. Induced gamma rays decreased the rate of seedling in dose dependent fashion, while seedling survival rate of the crops were high at 15 Krad (77.8%). Seedling survival rate was 100% in RRB variety at all doses. High doses of radiation delayed flowering in most of the varieties except RRB and MDR8-19. Early meiotic division coupled with chromosomal mutations were also recorded in anthers and root tips of the groundnut varieties. The results showed that gamma radiation has major beneficial effects on groundnut varieties. Thus, this idea can be incorporated in crop breeding to improve yields of crops
Grading of Mesta found in Maharashtra and Andhra Pradesh
Get PDFMesta is a bast fibre crop and a close substitute to jute in terms of its fibre characteristics and fibre appearance. It is obtained from the bark of Hibiscus Sabdariffa which belongs to family Malvaceae. Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) has introduced a grading standard on the basis of scoring system for Mesta fibres like jute which is still followed religiously. Six grades have been prescribed for mesta. The fibre is graded on the basis of six physical parameters i.e., strength, root content, defects, fineness, colour and density. Scores for the mesta can be taken as guidance for determining the quality or grade of the fibre which will further justify the commercial value of the same. The Mesta fibre found in Andhra pradesh (AMV 2) is found to have better grade than the fibre found in Maharashtra (Race Ruber)
