Objective: With the advancement of new technologies, traffic data can be collected for the development of existing and new infrastructure. In this study, traffic data has been collected using traffic counter-cum-classifier. Method: The automatic data collection system based on pressure sensor has been studied. The instrument collects the data by sensing the hits made by the tyres of the moving vehicles. The paper discusses about the hardware and software set up of the instrument. Findings: The instrument is able to collect and analyze the macroscopic as well as microscopic characteristics of traffic. It senses the hits produced on the Pneumatic Tube by the running vehicles and data is recorded. This recorded data is then converted into the useful information by the software and according to the calibration of the software. The data can be collected and stored on a number of sites and analyzed by the software. Instrument is able to provide the various results related to characteristics of the traffic like total vehicle counts, classification, 85% speed, peak hour, time headway etc. The reports related to analysis of data can be generated in the form of graphs and pie chart etc. Improvements: Further field testing of the instrument in Indian condition can be done and accuracy of the instrument can be compared with manual methods and other automatic methods.Keywords

This study aims to understand the level of influence of Pester Power on the purchase decisions of food products by the parents in a convenience store environment. This study is important, as marketers should be aware of how best they can utilize the factors leading to Pester Power, eventually facilitating the decision of purchase in their favour. The data was analyzed using SPSS. The research questions addresses - the purchase decisions on categories of food products influenced by Pester Power and attributes added to influence kids that in turn trigger Pester Power. The paper provides empirical insights about how retailers and advertisers benefited from the trends of pester power and how important are children as customers. The paper includes implications for the development of marketing campaigns for children and future research may also focus into areas of how peer groups and other socializing agents affect child's information sources affecting pester power.Keywords

Background: Suturing of conjunctival graft is a traditional technique for pterygium excision surgery. Owing to its many disadvantages & complications many newer techniques like autologous fibrin glue have been introduced & accepted as an alternative method of graft adhesion. Methodology: The present study was conducted at the Department of Ophthalmology, MMIMSR, Mullana (Maharishi Markandeshwar Deemed to be University) in the time period extending between December 2017 and January 2019. 100 eyes of patients of either sex with primary pterygium were selected and divided into 2 groups of 50 each in Group 1- patient underwent conjunctival auto graft with 10-0 ethilon sutures while in Group 2 suture less conjunctival auto graft was done with patient’s own blood fibrin. Results: Parameters such as mean operating time, presenting complaints like pain, watering, burning and foreign body sensation, complications & recurrence were compared between the two groups on postoperative Day 1, Day 7, 2 weeks, 1 month, 2 month, 3 month & 6th month. Statistical significant difference (p<0.01) was found between the suture and sutureless surgery for pterygium in relation to post-operative discomfort grading. There was a significant difference (t = 22.149, p = 0.001) in the duration of surgery for GROUP I surgery. Conclusion: Conjunctival auto graft with autologous serum is a safe and fast method. It is equally effective as conventional sutured autograft technique. Post operative discomfort is significantly less in this method. It also prevents suture related complications.Keywords

Aim: To study postoperative outcome & related complications of Glue free and suture free conjunctival autograft in pterygium excision in Haryana-A North Indian state. Materials and Method: The present study was conducted at the Department of Ophthalmology, MMIMSR, Mullana (Maharishi Markandeshwar Deemed to be University) in the time period extending between December 2017 and January 2019. 50 eyes of patients of either sex with primary pterygium were selected and pterygium was excised & sutureless & glue free conjunctival autograft was done with patient’s own blood fibrin. Parameters such as mean operating time, presenting complaints, grade, complications & recurrence were observed on postoperative Day 1, Day7, 2 weeks, 1 month, 2 month, 3 month & 6th month. Results: The mean age of the study population was 48.82 + 11.13 years... Out of 50 eyes only 1 (2%) had conjunctival cyst, 2 (4%) graft edema and 3 (6%) had graft displacement, 1(2%) had graft lost, 1(2%) had graft rejection & 1(2%) had recurrence at 6 month follow up. The mean operation time was 24.88 minutes. Regarding type of the pterygium, out of 50 patients 9(18%) were grade 1, 26(52%) were grade 2, 11(22%) were grade 3 and 4(8%) were grade 4. Conclusion: Conjunctival autograt using patients own blood technique is a safe, cheaper, effective, with less surgical time & has minimal postoperative discomfort.Keywords

Non-tuberculous mycobacterium (NTM) has been identified in human pulmonary and extra pulmonary diseases and is of great concern for clinicians and microbiologists because of their increasing global incidence. They are now increasingly recognized as important pathogens in both immunocompromised and immunocompetent population. They should be identified rapidly and should be carefully differentiated as contamination, colonization ordisease. Cultures were made on conventional LJ and LJ with PNB media. Growth was confirmed as AFB (acid fast bacilli) by ZN staining. NTM were identified by growth on LJ with PNB media, colony morphology, rate of growth, pigmentation, catalase activity and confirmed by MPT 64 antigen rapid test (using SD Bioline TB Ag MPT 64 test kit) . Data was analysed statistically using SPSS software. Out of total 500 processed samples (250 pulmonary & 250 extrapulmonary), 12(21.05%) and 7(21.8%) NTM were isolated from pulmonary and extrapulmonary samples respectively. Maximum pulmonary NTM (41.7%) were isolated from > 60 years age of patients in contrast to extrapulmonary NTM isolates which were more in 20-40 years of age group. There was 16.7% previously treated patients in pulmonary while 100% were newly diagnosed patients in extrapulmonary TB cases. This study highlights the importance of early diagnosis and differentiation among Mycobacterium tuberculosisand NTM so that these NTM are not underestimated in routine diagnostic procedures merely as environmental or laboratory contaminants.Keywords
