Abstract

Leadership being the ability to influence a group may manifest its effectiveness in several ways, ranging from financial performance to employee morale and commitment. A number of theories have evolved by integrating contemporary socioeconomic and cultural changes occurring in the business environment. India has been witnessing a significant transformation, which was triggered by new economic thinking pursued by the policy makers. The liberalization coupled with emerging realities has significantly influenced Indian business. Not only has it changed the strategic organizational perspectives, the composition of workforce has also changed with increasing diversity. The technological evolution has completely transformed the processes of both manufacturing and service industries. The recent changes have posed fresh questions. Heightened competition, decreasing bottom lines, demanding customers and other similar pressures have precipitated enormous challenges for the role of leadership in today's organizations. It still remains to be seen how these leaders will cope with such a demanding environment, where they may be tempted to look for short cuts without caring for the values or ethical concerns of the society at large. The constitution of effectiveness itself may be changing and it, therefore, needs to be looked into for more clarity. It is in this context that the present study was undertaken to explore and compare the factors constituting leadership effectiveness in manufacturing and service industries.

Abstract

The effect of integration of organic amendments with fungal or bacterial antagonists (Trichoderma harzianum and Pseudomonas fluorescens) applied as soil treatment was evaluated against sheath blight disease in Basmati rice caused by Rhizoctonia solani under field conditions. Neem cake + T. harzianum was found to be the most effective treatment in reducing the disease incidence by up to 57.27% and disease severity by 54.77% followed by farm yard manure (FYM) + T. harzianum, which resulted in the reduction of disease incidence to 53.77% and disease severity to 52.29%, respectively. Among all the organic amendments, reduction of sheath blight was lowest with sawdust + P. fluorescens with disease incidence of 40.94% and disease severity of 35.29%. Maximum increase in grain yield (39.44%) and 1000-grain weight of rice (29.19g) were recorded with neem cake + T. harzianum treatment followed by treatments FYM + T. harzianum and pressmud + T. harzianum. Minimum increase in grain yield (9.76%) and 1000-grain weight (11.53%) were recorded with the treatment Sawdust + P. fluorescens.

Abstract

We report first ldentified active fault exposure from Kachchh region along the Kachchh Mainland Fault (KMF) other than the 1819 Allah Bund earthquake. The active fault scarps striking E-W were identified near Lodai vlilage along KMF North facing scarps with height from 10-15 m are the manifestation of the displaced alluvial fan surface along this fault. Occurrence of discontinuous linear mound ranging in height from 3-5 m aligned along the strike about 100 m north of the main scarp are suggestive of younger tectonic movement and progressive shift of tectonic activity towards north along new imbricated fault. Three low to high angle reverse fault strands (F₁, F₂ and F₃) displacing young Quaternary deposits (late Pleistocene-Holocene?) classified as A to F unlts comprising gravel and sand-Silt facies were identifled in a trench excavated at the base of the linear mound along KMF. Our preliminary observations revealed occurrence of atleast two large magnitude earthquakes along the F₃ fault, and may be older events along the F₁ and F₂. Latest event (Event-I) occurred along F₃ after the deposition of unit B registering the displacement of -33 cm, penultimate event (Event-11) occurred after the deposition of unit C with -40 cm of displacement. The maximum displacement of about 73 cm along F₃ indicates cumulative displacement accommodated during more than one event. The total displacement of -98 cm along F₂ strand displacing the E and F units is the result of more than one event, and since the F₂ probably displaced the unit C suggests that the movements occurred during penultimate (Event 11) and during the Event 111, older than penultimate. Displacement of Mesozoic succession during older events and unit B during the latest Event I along F₁ suggests repetitive movement along this fault. The fragile nature of -3-4 m wide shear zone formed in Mesozoic rocks (shale+sandstone) also point towards repetitive tectonic movement along KMF.

Abstract

The paper provides a way to provide virtualization administration as a service and also ways to customize, optimize and improvise the performance of latest available virtualization techniques. Till now virtualization provides utilization from 60-70% for hypervisor but there is no technique available to optimize the server and client associated with it. The paper delivers a solution which is oriented for VM administrators and VM providers. The solution once implemented will provide a secure, economical, interoperable, storage platform independent solution for virtualization setup for administrators. The implementation can be done in a few minutes but it will provide a boost to management of virtual machines from the base level. The security techniques discussed in paper can be improvised i.e. VPN and encryption can be implemented in place of port forwarding although it might affect performance.

Abstract

In the present scenario of increased product manufacturing competition, the customer has to be satisfied in terms of product quality, product delivery time and the cost of product. To fulfill all these needs, the adoption of Total Productive Maintenance (TPM) is a maintenance program which involves a newly defined concept of maintaining plants and its equipments. The main focus of this paper is to review the concept of TPM and find out the tangible as well as intangible benefits derived at different stages. It also focuses on the calculation of Overall Equipment Effectiveness (OEE) and implementation methodology. TPM implementation is advantageous to implement TPM concept in a phased manner. The case study is also taken to give insight and in implementing TPM successfully in an efficient manner.

Abstract

Tomato production is affected by various fungal, bacterial and viral diseases that attribute to considerable yield losses. Among all the diseases of tomato, Tomato Leaf Curl Virus (ToLCV) disease is cited to be the most devastating both in terms of quantitative and qualitative yield losses. Often, the loss reaches to the extent of 100% during summer throughout India. The virus associated with tomato leaf curl disease was detected by PCR using coat protein specific primers. The present investigations were carried out with potent Pseudomonas fluorescens isolates alone and along with elicitor molecule chitosan to determine its ability to control ToLCV in tomato. Different formulations of P. fluorescens and chitosan were evaluated for controlling ToLCV and growth promotion of tomato. It was found that the application of P. fluorescens isolates Pf1 and Pf2 @ 5kg/ha in combination with chitosan @ 5% reduces the severity of the ToLCV disease by 80 – 90 %. Application of chitosan and P. fluorescens alone caused 60 – 70% reduction in severity of ToLCV disease. Moreover, the plants inoculated with the chitosan based formulation of P. fluorescens isolates Pf1 and Pf2 recorded maximum plant height, fruit number and yield/plant over the control in potted condition. The results, thus, indicate that addition of chitosan has enhanced the biocontrol efficacy of P. fluorescens against ToLCV.

Abstract

Bronchial asthma, being a chronic airway disease, requires long-term pharmacotherapy. Since, a wide range of antiasthmatic drugs are available, study of prescription pattern is essential to promote rational use of drugs. The aim of the study was to evaluate prescription pattern in paediatric patients of bronchial asthma in a private hospital. An observational, non-interventional cross-sectional study was conducted in paediatric outpatient department at a private hospital in Aurangabad after institutional ethical clearance. Asthmatic children of either gender or age group 1-17 years were enrolled and patients details such as demographic details, drugs used etc. were filled in the specially designed case record form. Data was presented in percentages. SPSS software version 20.0 was used to analyse data using statistical test ANOVA. ‘P’ value ≤ 0.05 was considered as significant. Out of total 300 children enrolled in the study, 43.33% children had intermittent asthma, 16.33% had mild persistent, 21.34% had moderate persistent and 19% had severe persistent asthma. Asthma in majority of the children (40%) was partly controlled. Maximum study population was males of 6-10 years of age. Most of the children received multiple anti-asthmatic drugs (66%) and prevalence of two drug combinations was the highest (46%). Average drugs per prescription were 2.7. Inhalational route was preferred. Most commonly encountered anti-asthmatic drugs were short acting beta 2 agonists (74.33%) followed by inhalational corticosteroids (56.33%). Inhalational corticosteroid usage was profound in children with persistent asthma. Encounter with antibiotics was found to be 18.33%. All the drugs were prescribed by their brand names. Inhaled and oral corticosteroids were prescribed more often in children with persistent asthma than children with intermittent asthma and differences were statistically significant (p=0.001). However, no statistically significant difference was observed among intermittent and persistent asthma in terms of prescription of drugs like salbutamol, levosalbutamol, levosalbutamol plus ipratropium bromide and salmeterol plus fluticasone. The findings of the study suggested a rational approach in providing anti-asthmatic pharmacotherapy to children. Health care professionals seemed to be well versed with the current treatment guidelines. Only matter of concern is prescribing with brand names. Promotion of educational strategies and programmer will incur awareness about benefits of prescribing generic drugs.

Abstract

Aim: To evaluate the performance of chest computed tomography (CT) scan in the preliminary diagnosis of suspected coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19).

Material and methods: Suspected 1149 COVID-19 patients who underwent both chest CT and RT-PCR tests were included. Considering RT-PCR as a reference standard, the performance of chest CT in diagnosing COVID-19 was evaluated. Obtained data was statistically analysed for sensitivity, specificity and accuracy for the diagnosis of COVID-19 cases.

Results: Out of 1149 patients RTPCR was positive in 188 (16.36%) of patients and CT findings were positive in 368 (32.03%) of patients. The majority (21.15%) of the patients’ CT scan revealed sub-pleural ground-glass opacities (GGO), consolidation was seen in 76 (6.61%), pleural effusion in 73 (6.35%) and interstitial oedema in 41 (6.35%) respectively. Considering RT-PCR results as the reference standard, the chest CT revealed a sensitivity of 73.40%, specificity of 76.07% and accuracy of 75.63% in identifying COVID 19.

Conclusion: Chest CT revealed diagnostic accuracy (75.63%) in diagnosing COVID-19 and it could be considered as a basic modality for detecting COVID-19 cases early. This can be valuable to initiate early triage and infection control practices and appropriate isolation strategies in Emergency Department.

Abstract

Pulmonary embolism (PE) is a life-threatening condition which often gets missed due to non-specific initial presentation in the Emergency Department (ED). We report a case of a young male who presented to the ED with sudden onset breathlessness and diaphoresis. Appropriate resuscitation was initiated. Soon after patient started gasping and had a cardiac arrest with first monitored rhythm being pulseless electrical activity (PEA). Cardio-pulmonary resuscitation (CPR) was initiated and continued as per ACLS protocol. Portable Echocardiograph revealed severe pulmonary hypertension with right ventricular dysfunction. Provisional diagnosis of PE was made and patient was managed with immediate thrombolysis with ongoing CPR. Brief episodes of cardiac arrest occurred which were successfully revived following which he remained hemodynamically stable. Diagnosis was confirmed by Colour Doppler of bilateral lower limbs and pulmonary angiogram. Patient was weaned off ventilator within 24 hours and discharged home after a week with full neurological recovery. Timely diagnosis and management were key in this patient’s survival.
