Do Labor Intensive Industries Generate Employment? Evidence from firm level survey in India
No full textThis study attempts to address the issue of declining labour intensity in Indias organized manufacturing in order to understand the constraints on employment generation in the labour intensive sectors. Using primary survey data covering 252 labour intensive manufacturing-exporting firms across five sectorsapparel, leather, gems and jewellery, sports goods, and bicycles for 2005-06 an attempt is made to find out the factors which constrain employment generation in labour intensive firms. The study shows several constraints in the path of employment generation in labour intensive sectorsnon-availability of trained skilled workers, infrastructure bottlenecks, low levels of investment, labour rules and regulations, and a noncompetitive export orientation. The study suggests a set of policy initiatives to improve the employment potential of these sectors.Indian Organized Manufacturing, Labor Intensity, Employment Growth, Skilled workforce, Wage Structure, Export status, Machinery Usage, Labor laws, South Asia

The impact of grocery store podcasts in the delivery of nutrition education to improve shopping behaviors, particularly the purchase of omega-3 rich foods
No full textOmega-3 (n-3) fatty acids are important nutrients and are deficient in the American diet. Therefore increasing the intake of n-3s is a public health goal. Research has suggested that because people eat what they buy, point-of-purchase interventions may have the potential to help consumers make healthy food choices. A study of existing literature revealed that these interventions have not used newer technological means, have many limitations, and have failed to assess long-term shopping behavior change. The research presented in this dissertation aims to test use of, and long-term effects of, new technology (i.e., podcasts) as a means of delivering nutrition education at the grocery store to interested consumers while they shop. A single-group, repeated-measures, mixed-methods study design was employed to determine if listening to a podcast about n-3s while grocery shopping increased shoppers’ awareness about, and purchases of, seafood and other foods rich in n-3s. Constructs from the Theory of Reasoned Action were used to evaluate the effectiveness of the podcasts. A secondary data analysis of participant food purchase data was done to examine the long-term effects of podcast exposure over the six months following the intervention (as compared to the six months prior). As a result of exposure to the podcasts TRA constructs improved, knowledge about n-3s increased and misconceptions were reduced. In addition, both long-term (six months post-intervention) and short-term purchases (day of the intervention) of n-3 rich food item purchases increased. These findings suggest that podcasts may be an effective means to communicate nutrition education messages at the point of purchase, to those who indicate an interest in the subject.Ph.

Assessing the Impact of Interactive Educational Videos and Screencasts Within Pre-clinical Microanatomy and Medical Physiology Teaching
No full textModern medical curricula adopt the use self-directed learning approaches, which frequently include the use of technology enhanced learning resources. Often, students prefer those which are available via mobile devices because it can facilitate flexibility and autonomy with their learning, more so than with traditional modalities. Although the production value of resources may be appealing to users, those that work most effectively for education align well to existing pedagogies. One such pedagogy is the cognitive theory of multimedia learning. It is a framework that can be used to facilitate the construction of educational video, that can benefit learning gain through reducing the cognitive load.Although much research has been conducted on how information should be presented in video resources, there is very limited evidence within the subject of clinical anatomy and physiology or when applying different types of educational video, such as screencasts, or interactive video. In the field of anatomy education recent approaches have sought to standardize a robust methodology to evaluate digital resources. This procedure utilizes a combination of normalized learning gain and learner perceptions to gain an accurate picture of educational impact.The current study investigated the impact of both interactive educational videos and screencasts compared with traditional teaching techniques in the challenging subjects of histology and pain physiology. A quasi-randomized, cross-sectional study was conducted with 135 medical students enrolled at the University of Southampton. Sixty fourth- and fifth-year students assessed the histology resources, and 75 second-year students assessed the pain histology resources. Participants were randomly assigned to either a text-based resource, interactive video, or screencast group. Outcomes measured were:1. Normalized knowledge gain (and retention) assessed using one-best-answer multiple choice question tests2. Student perceptions using 1–10 Likert-scale style questionnaires.A significant improvement in mean normalized knowledge gain was observed for all teaching modalities. For pain physiology, the means were: Text—49.0% (n = 23), interactive video—70.1% (n = 26), and screencast—53.8% (n = 26). For all learning gains, P < 0.001. For histology, there was a mean normalized learning gain for text—80.0% (n = 20), interactive video—74.4% (n = 20), and screencast groups—68.3% (n = 20). For all learning gains, P < 0.001.For pain physiology resources, interactive videos significantly improved learning gain compared to the screencast (P < 0.05) and the text resource groups (P < 0.01). There was no significant difference between those who used the text or screencast resources. There was also no significant difference in knowledge retention between the different teaching methods for each subject.Following teaching, all three teaching modalities had similar effects on student confidence in the subjects, desire for educational channels dedicated to each topic, and preference for locally produced vs. externally produced videos. These findings have the potential to inform educators on which types of resources to create or to select for their students to have the best impact on learning

Density and Dynamic Viscosity of Perfluorodecalin-Added n-Hexane Mixtures: Deciphering the Role of Fluorous Liquids
No full textFluorous solvents are deputed as prominent solvent systems owing to their salient features, unique physical properties, and ecological importance. In this study, the temperature- and composition-dependence of physical properties, density (ρ/g·cm−3), and dynamic viscosity (η/mPa·s), of neat perfluorodecalin (PFD) and PFD-added n-hexane mixtures with select compositions are reported. Density follows a linear decrease with temperature and a quadratic increase with the mole fraction of PFD. The sensitivity or dependence of density on temperature increases with an increase in PFD mole fraction. The temperature-dependence of the dynamic viscosity of the investigated mixtures follows the Arrhenius-type expression from which the resultant activation energy of the viscous flow (Ea,η) is determined. Interestingly, the composition-dependence of dynamic viscosity shows exponential growth with an increase in PFD mole fraction. Excess molar volumes (VE) and deviation in the logarithmic viscosities ∆(ln η) of the mixtures are calculated to highlight the presence of strong repulsive interactions between the two mixture components
