 Abstract

This study investigates the relationship between buying decisions of foreign products and Domestic products in Surat region. Factor analysis scales was used to examine perceived predicators of consumers� buying decisions between the two product types, such as attitude measurements, ability scales green marketing and innovative drives as well as market orientations. Two separate markets comprising super / departmental stores and open markets were carefully delineated to include all manners of buyers in the analysis. Again, structured questionnaires were designed to elicit relevant data from the target population. Hence, In all, a total of 100 reporters supply relevant data for this analysis. The resultant data was analyzed using simple percentage statistics, bar chart and logistic regression model. The study reveals that the major predicators of consumers� buying decisions between foreign and domestic products in surat, as arranged in the order priority are: �Green Marketing drive�, �Innovative drive�, �Ability scales�, �Attitude measurements� and �Personality scales�. The general market performance for the products under review is high, foreign products show higher market performance domestic products in the general market. It shows that at least 5 out of every 10 products sold in surat markets are foreign products. This result reveals a scenario that surat is either a consumption economy or the consumers� taste for foreign products is high. The study recommends that marketers trading on domestic products must pay attention to consumers� �Green Marketing drive�, �Innovative drive� and �Ability scales in order to boast the consumptions of domestic products in . It also recommends a combination of �responsive� and �proactive� market-oriented strategies to diversify market opportunities portfolio in surat markets. Furthermore, future research is necessary to tell apart the production and consumption strengths of the Indian economy. Indeed, lack of availability of domestic products could predicate consumers� high demand for foreign products, not with standing the high prices and governmental restrictions (embargo).

 Abstract

Data mining and machine learning play an extensively crucial role in the application of medical diagnosis. Consequently, several forms of analysis are ongoing to better predict the diseases and improving the quality of diagnosis. The existing analysis suffers from high dimensionality and imbalanced class distribution problem. Due to this issue, various classification algorithms prejudge over the majority classes, while ignoring the minority classes. This leads to the misprediction while predicting some rarely possible diseases. This research paper aims to increase the classification accuracy of the various classifiers over healthcare data. This research proposed a hybrid approach of both Principle Component Analysis (PCA) and Synthetic Minority Oversampling Technique (SMOTE) to reduce the high dimensional imbalanced class distribution problem. Then the resultant dataset is applied to the various classifier and compared based on the evaluation metrics.

 Abstract

Basketball is one of the largest growing team sports in the world. While playing the sport it is very important to have good control in balance. The ankle joint has to bear a lot of body weight and forces. While running and jumping, ankles have to carry forces equivalent to several times of the body weight. Ankle injuries such as sprains, strains and fractures mainly affect the upper ankle because many studies proved that the lower ankle is more stable than the upper ankle. The ankle joint is one of the most vulnerable to injury through participation in sports and exercises. The management of ligament injuries is usually quite straightforward, such injuries are often accompanied by repeated sprain episodes, instability of the joint, and as a result, reduced physical activity participation. Ankle sprains are the most common acute injuries in basketball while landing on an opponent�s foot or during changing direction. Balance gets affected due to acute ankle injury in basketball players therefore present study was done to know the effect of balance due to acute ankle injury which is important factor while playing any sport. Predicting risk for ankle injury could be important to reduce the risk of these injuries and save health care costs. Total 30 subjects (15 ankle joint injured and 15 uninjured) had performed Y balance test (lower quarter version) as per the inclusion criteria to determine balance. Dynamic balance of lower limbs measured at anterior, posteromedial, and posterolateral directions for injured and uninjured groups. Data analysis did to find out the significant difference in dynamic balance among the uninjured and injured groups. The mean and standard deviation of right and left uninjured and ankle joint injured were 122.4 + 11.1, 90.6 + 12.8: 126 + 13. , 92.2 + 10.4 respectively (simple paired t test p < 0.005). Hence it is concluded that ankle injuries in basketball players significantly affect balance. Dynamic balance of lower limb was more among uninjured basketball players than ankle joint injured players. The decline in dynamic balance ability experienced during playing basketball can increase the risk of injury and decreases the performance of player so it is required that the dynamic balance be assessed in time and if required balance training exercise should be given.

 Abstract

The neurologic symptoms such as seizures or status epilepticus rarely constitute the initial mode of presentation of poisoning by ingestion of naphthene, usually patients present with acute onset of dark brown urine, watery diarrhea, and non-bloody bilious vomiting 48-96 hours after exposure. Seizures are due to cerebral edema which is probably secondary to acute hemolysis Vital sign abnormalities include fever, tachycardia, hypotension, and persistent pulse oximetry readings less than 84%-85% despite oxygen supplementation. Laboratory workup demonstrates hyperbilirubinemia with indirect predominance, hemolytic anemia, methemoglobinemia, and renal dysfunction. Treatment options include symptomatic treatment such as anti-convulsant, treatment of cerebral edema supportive care, red cell transfusion, ascorbic acid, methylene blue, and N-acetylcysteine. We present a case of naphthalene toxicity in a 32-year-old schizophrenic male manifesting with status epilepticus, as a rare complication who improved with supportive care, mechanical ventilation, osmotic therapy, anticonvulsant, red blood cell transfusion, and ascorbic acid.

 Abstract

Non-Governmental Organizations (NGOs) are undergoing a major shift from traditional volunteerism to professionalism in their approaches and service delivery. The present paper is concerned with an analysis of the different aspects of strategic action orientation (SAO) of NGOs in India. SAO signifies the diverse issues related to the course of action pursued by NGOs in the light if their environmental perspectives and internal resources and capabilities. Based on a predetermined sample size, a questionnaire survey coupled with follow-up interviews with Heads/Senior Executives of NGOs has been conducted with a view to examine and analyse the different facets of SAO of NGOs in India. On the basis of quantitative analysis involving correlation analysis, cluster analysis and factor analysis, a specific pattern of SAO of NGOs has been observed which is different from that of business organisations. It has also been observed that NGOs with similar SAO have similarity in operational orientation to a moderate extent. Follow-up interviews with the NGOs substantiate the thrust areas that NGOs need to consider for their long-run competitive sustainability.

 Abstract

The essential objective of sowing operation is to place the seed and fertilizer in rows at desired depth and seed to seed spacing, cover the seeds with soil & provide proper compaction over the seed. The row spacing, seed rate, seed spacing and depth of seed placement differ according to crops and for different agro-climatic conditions to achieve optimum yields. The comparison between the normal sowing method and the new proposed machine may perform a variety of simultaneous operations and has several benefits. As day by day the labour availability becomes a great concern for the farmers and labour cost is more, this machine minimizes the efforts and total cost of sowing the seeds and fertilizer placement.

 Abstract

The synthesis of particles which has a size within the range of 1-100 nm is known as �Nanotechnology�. Nanotechnology is based on the concept of smaller the size, larger is the surface area and hence nanotechnology is a widely studied subject from many years. In the current project, Andrographis paniculata is used as the source for the synthesis of iron oxide nanoparticles. The synthesized iron oxide nanoparticles were characterized by UV spectrometry, XRD, FTIR, SEM and TEM. The results displayed that the nanoparticles had an absorption peak at 260 nm, spherical shape with an average size below 50 nm. The synthesized nanoparticles were employed in the separation of oil spill from water with the help of ferrofluid (small scale). Increase in the amount of ferrofluid enabled an efficient separation of oil spill from water, thus aiding in reduction of one of the major causes of water pollution in oceans.

 Abstract

To lead a good life healthcare is very much important. But it is very difficult to obtain the consultation with the doctor in case of any health issues. The proposed idea is to create a medical chatbot using machine learning that can diagnose the disease and provide basic details about the disease before consulting a doctor. To reduce the healthcare costs and improve accessibility to medical knowledge the medical chatbot is built. It helps the patient know more about their disease and helps to improve their health. The user can achieve the real benefit of a chatbot only when it can diagnose all kind of disease and provide necessary information.

Image inpainting is one of the image restoration techniques used for reconstruction of lost or damaged regions in an image. This image inpainting technique aims to refill the missing region of an image, which is visible to human eyes. It is done in such a way that human eyes could not identify that it has undergone some restoration. Image inpainting is applied for the restoration of old images, removing dust spots of an image, super- resolution, correction of the red-eye, object elimination in the digital photographs, creative changes by removing some objects, etc. The researchers have developed many such algorithms, each used for a certain purpose of image inpainting. This paper aims at reviewing the various techniques used for image inpainting.

Spatial hearing abilities are essential in everyday living situations losing which a sense of insecurity develops and also an individual may fall at risk becoming unaware of the signs of dangers. A questionnaire to tap on spatial hearing abilities (Spatial Hearing Handicap Index) was developed and validated in Tamil. A total of 119 normal hearing participants of age 11 to 70 years belonging to both gender groups were involved in the study. Comparisons were done between the age groups and gender groups. Although, differences were observed in the responses between gender groups and age groups, it was not statistically significant. This questionnaire can be used to identify and understand the areas where the patients have difficulty with respect to localisation, especially in case of hearing aid or amplificatory device users.

The adapting face of technology has played a fundamental role within the development of the hotel and Food and Beverage service industry. The document investigated the impact that technology has had on the hotel and Food and Beverage service industry. The information generation has produced a motion of technological applications, changing the way restaurants process and monitor transactions. One such application is a point-of-sale (POS) system. Handheld wireless POS systems are a transportable version of a POS system that is defined because of the time and place during which a transaction is formed. Point of sale computer systems includes Such a system of cashier and server ultimate typically handles food and beverage orders, transmission of orders to the kitchen and bar, guest bill settlement, timekeeping, and interactive charge posting to guest folios. POS information also can be imported to accounting and food cost/inventory software packages. A variation of reports is often created, including open check, cashier, voids/comps, sales analysis, menu mix, server sales summary, tips, labor cost, etc. Although POS systems are becoming reasonably priced, it is still recognized by many restaurant operators as a rather expensive proposition. Customers are the explanations restaurants are in business, and therefore the time saved by employing a handheld device is often wont to better serve the guests. While many claim that it can improve profitability.
