Background: As it is well known that a disease is any disorder or incorrectly functioning organ, part, structure or system of the body resulting from the effect of genetic or developmental errors, infection (caused by pathogenic microorganisms), poisons, nutritional imbalance or deficiency, toxicity or unfavorable environmental factors [1,2]. Fortunately, during twentieth century, medical investigation and research have been diagnosed, treated, cured and prevented many diseases. The primary treatment is through using vaccines and drugs, which are required and beneficial. Medical research is a vital to the health and wealth of societies, as scientific knowledge can improve health and the quality of life. The objectives of this article are to discuss many topics (immunity, immunogenetics, molecular genetics, pharmaceutical, histopathology and other relevant subjects), to get what has medical research done to improve health of human, to figure out whether these research are at the right track? and to suggest recommendations for future medical research.
The development of SMEs is considered as one of vital determinants of the growth of Ethiopian economy, and for secure equitable distribution of the benefits of the economic growth. However, SMEs in the country are leveled as not performing well and falling short of yielding the much anticipated contribution for the growth of the economy as they are expected. This study is conducted to analyze financial distress level of SMEs in Wolaita Zone and indentify those factors affecting their financial health. In this study 30 firms form three sectors are selected as samples selecting ten samples from each of manufacturing, service and trade sector using purposive sampling method. Accordingly, the results of Altman’s Zeta Score Model analysis indicate that three of the ten selected firms in the service sectors are found to be financially distressed, but none of the sampled SMEs in the sector are below the bankruptcy point. In manufacturing sector, one of the ten selected SMEs is found with the Zeta score of below the bankruptcy line and all of the rest of the sampled SMEs are found to be under financial distress though their Zeta score is above the bankruptcy point.
Consumer Behavior is a study of how individuals make decisions to spend their available resources like time, money and effort on consumption related items what they buy, why they buy, when they buy , where they buy, how often they buy and use a product or service for satisfying their needs. From a marketing point of view, the consumer behavior is, “the psychology of how consumers think, feel, reason and select between different alternatives like brands, products”. The consumer switching behavior is there in between both, companies and customers, because the consumer switching behavior restricts both parties to make long term relationships and even it breaks the pre-developed long term relationships. Similarly the consumer switching behavior is basically the behavior of consumers in shifting their attitude from one brand (product) to another brand (product). Due to this dramatic growth, the cellular industry all over the world has been witnessing fall in the costs of cellular services, very high growth rates in subscriber base, and increasing competition and deregulation.
Retention of talented employees has been seen as the most significant to the development and achievement of the organisation’s objectives in the competitive advantage. Owing to the competition for scarce skills, the retention of quality employees has emerged as the biggest challenge in human capital management in the Technical Vocational Education and Training (TVET) Colleges in South Africa. The objective of the present study is examined the influence of compensation and performance management as determinants of talent retention among academic staff in TVET Colleges in South Africa. This study employed the quantitative research method to investigate the influence of rewards on talent retention. This paper discussed retention practices that are compensation and performance since these factors affect talent retention. Results shows that the majority of employees are not satisfied with compensation, which results in considering leaving the Institution.
In this study, Linear Regression (LR) is performance is investigated with and without implementation of Topological Kriging (TK). The aims of this study to determine the used of TK can improve the performance of LR by grouping the basin which have similar hydrology characteristics. Then LR only model the relationship inside the regions. The result show that LR based TK is more reliable in term of estimation accuracy.
This paper presents a novel isolated traffic signal control algorithm based on a gametheoretic optimization framework. The algorithm models a signalized intersection considering four phases, where each phase is modeled as a player in a game in which the players cooperate to reach a mutual agreement. The Nash bargaining solution is applied to obtain the optimal control strategy, considering a variable phasing sequence and free cycle length. The system is implemented and evaluated in the INTEGRATION microscopic traffic assignment and simulation software. The proposed algorithm is compared to an optimum fixed-time plan and an actuated control algorithm to evaluate the performance of the proposed Nash bargaining approach for different traffic demand levels. The simulation results demonstrate that the proposed Nash bargaining control algorithm outperforms the fixed-time and actuated control algorithms for the various traffic conditions. The benefits are observed in improvements in the stopped delay, queue length, travel time, average vehicle speed, system throughput, fuel consumption, and emission levels.
Introduction: This study was to identify hypertensive Intracranial Hemorrhage with hematoma as well as the relation to various factors and outcomes. Objective: To find the correlation between the site and size of hemorrhage, GCS score, and the outcome. Methods: This is a prospective observational trial. The study consists of 65 patients with Intracranial hemorrhage, presenting with the criteria and symptoms in order to correlate with the GCS score and GC scale. This study was conducted at Shree Sayaji General Hospital, Baroda during December 2013 to November 2014. The GC scale was used to assess the outcome. The GC score was used for distribution of the patients with presenting symptoms. CT scan of the head was also used to identify the site of the hemorrhage and the size of the hemorrhage. Results: The increase in hematoma volume in the study shows the high percentage of mortality. This shows that the lower the GC score is worse for prognosis than a higher GC score of >14. Conclusion: Our results show that a low GC score and high size of the bleed can significantly affect the prognosis.
Tea is one of such product whose trade balance is always positive for India, revealing huge advantage for the nation. The study is related with the export of agro processed foods especially tea, its trend, direction, world’s export & measures to enhance export. The study reveals the position of India’s tea export in world market. It has been found that Iran, Russia, UK, USA & UAE are the major importers of tea from India; hence they must be focused more. China is the largest seller of tea at global market, while Iran is the largest purchaser of India’s black tea. Government policies & institution plays an important role in enhancing the export of tea. Meanwhile, domestic demand of this product is also increasing due to increase in population & other related factors. The production of tea must also be increased by adopting various methods.
