A Study on Work Behavior of HR PersonnelTowards Environment to Endorse Green HRMPractices at Workplace

ABSTRACT – The Green HRM is an
emerging subject in current scenario.
Organizations have to give importance to social
and environmental factors, along with financial
and economic factors for permitting the
business to be successful in the corporate sector
thereby enabling achievement of profit by the
shareholders. Employees are expected to sustain
corporate values and objectives around the
green agenda. It is very important to recognize
the environment friendly green behavior and
attitudes of employees which are not completely
learnt in the organizations but also in their private
day to day life. Every employee as a human being
has their own distinctive lifestyles and mode of
living. They all follow their own expenditure
and use of survival items, which ultimately has
an effect on environmental changes and vis-aversa.
(Reus swig, 1994; Söderholm, 2010).
Therefore employees’ private role as consumers
is considered somewhat decisive for learning
and practicing environmental attitudes and
behavior. It is vital to know about the features
of HR managers, their decisions and behaviors
towards Green HRM. The research paper tries
to focus on the implementation of green HR
practices and work behavior of HR personnel
in the organization towards environment to
endorse Green HRM Practises at workplace.

An Effective Display of PMPML Bus Time Table:Use of Stem and Leaf Plot

Abstract: Good public transport facility is
very essential for quality life in cities. The allied
information like proper display of time tables
of such facility is a basic need of commuters. In
this article an attempt is made to use a simple
but effective statistical tool viz. Stem and Leaf
chart for this purpose. This type of display at
every city bus stop will be very useful.
Keywords : Public transport, Stem and
Leaf chart, Back to Back Stem and Leaf chart,
Android app.
I. INTRODUCTION
Public transport of a city is like a nervous
system of human body. Hence poor public
transport leads to hurdle in the growth of the city.
Pune city is very well known as the Oxford of
East, an auto industry hub and an IT industry hub.
Thousands of people relocate to Pune for higher
education and good jobs. Consequently the
population of Pune has increased exponentially
during last few years. Housing has become very
costly so people have to stay at such places
which are far away from their work place. So
travelling is an integral and unavoidable part of
day to day life. Even school going children have
to travel long distances daily. To cater this need,
city requires a strong public transport system,
preferably city bus, local trains, metro etc.
In Pune and suburbs PMPML (Pune
Mahanagar Parivahan Mahamandal Limited)
provides bus service through 365 routes having
around 22,000 trips per day. PMPML buses run
from Manjari to Hinjwadi in east-west direction
and from Katraj to Vishrantwadi in south-north
direction. About 10 to 12 lakh people depend
on this facility for commuting. Generally these
include senior citizens, lower middle class people
and school and college students. Unfortunately,
it is the general public opinion that PMPML
service is not so efficient.

Stability Indicating Assay Method by UV Spectrophotometryfor Estimation of Ofloxacin and Flavoxate Hydrochloride inTablet Dosage Form

Abstract – The present research work discusses
the development of a stability-indicating UV
spectrophotometric method for the estimation
of Ofloxacin and Flavoxate hydrochloride in
tablet dosage form. The optimum conditions
for the analysis of the drug were established.
The maximum wavelength (λmax ) was found
to be 266 nm for ofloxacin and 272 nm for
flavoxate. Degradation studies of ofloxacin and
flavoxate showed prominent degradation in acid
hydrolysis.
Key words – Stability Indicating, Ofloxacin,
Flavoxate, UV spectrophotometry.
I. INTRODUCTION
Ofloxacin (OFL) is 9-fluro-2,3-dihydro-3-
methyl-10-(4-methyl-1-piperazin-yl)-7-oxo-
7H-pyridol[1,2,3-de]-1,4,-benzoxazine-6-
carboxylic acid. It is a member of quinolone
class of antibacterial drugs wherein the 1 and 8
positions are joined in the form of 1,4-oxazine
ring. This quinolone is also widely distributed
into most body fluids and tissues. Higher
concentration of ofloxacin is achieved in CSF
than can be obtained with ciprofloxacin. The
oral bioavailability of ofloxacin is 95% to 100%.
The amount of an administered dose of ofloxacin
excreted in the urine in a 24 – 48 hour period
range from 70% to 90%. There relatively little
biliary excretion of this drug. The elimination
half life of ofloxacin ranges from 4.5 to 7 hours.
[1] Flavoxate is indicated in urinary frequency,
urgency and dysuria associated with lower
urinary tract infection. It is an anti-muscarinic,
has high affinity for receptors in urinary bladder
and salivary glands with additional smooth
muscle relaxant and local anaesthetic properties.
It is relatively selective for M1/M3 subtypes than
for M2. Because of vasicoselective action it is used
for instability resulting in urinary frequency and
urge incontinence.

A Collaborative Model of Businessand Business Schools – A Qualitative Study

I. INTRODUCTION
Indian Business schools have to change the
way they operate in a coming decade. The change
has to be tremendous and inevitable. The way
businesses now a day operate has had a major
influence on business schools. Today, every
small and big business is marching towards
glocalization1, which demand their employees
to think globally and act locally.
This asked for pressing needs on business
schools to equip their students to understand
what today markets wants and act accordingly.
Hence, business schools have to undergo a drastic
change in order to have a sustainable growth.
The change is possible through a substantial
curricular change and fostering collaboration
with business.
Business schools have been a centre of
learning since the inception of the very first
Business school in India, but today the times
have changed and business schools have to
look beyond the teaching-learning system of
education. Business schools are now expected
produce job-ready business graduates who
understand what business needs.
II. INSIDE VIEW OF BUSINESS SCHOOLS
Top Business schools in India have created
few new staff positions like “Head Advertising”,
“Head Public and Corporate Relations” and
“Head Branding”, hinting towards the complex
nature of the way the business school operates.
Faculties are also working in both teaching
and research environments to have a competitive
advantage and progress in their careers. Faculties
play major role in bridging the expectation gap

Fuzzy-PID based Liquid Level Control forCoupled Tank (MIMO) Interacting System

Abstract – Process Liquid level control in
a tank has always been an important issue in
process industries. For MIMO nonlinear system
the multivariable control strategy must be
properly designed. Various control techniques
based on particular performance index are
applied for improving the dynamics of level
control. PID controller is often used for the
control of liquid level. Control signals of PID
can be tuned by changing the PID parameters
(Kp, Ki and Kd) for obtaining better oscillation,
steady state response and reduced error. PID
parameters are tuned using fuzzy logic controller
and this gives promising results. A self-tuning
fuzzy PID controller is designed based on the
error approximation and by deciding the crisp
values in the range. Two input and three output
fuzzy controller is used instead of two input and
single output. The control signal from the Self-
Tuning Fuzzy-PID controller is then given to
the coupled interacting tanks within the extreme
points. As compared with classical PID the
self-tuning fuzzy-PID controller shows better
performance and can be implemented with
positive approach.
Keywords – MIMO Theory, Coupled Tank
System; Proportional-Integral-Derivative (PID)
Controller; Fuzzy system; Self-tuning Fuzzy-
PID Controller
I. INTRODUCTION
Many industrial processes having problems
related with turbulence and smooth inflow,
level control is necessary. 25% of emergency
shutdowns are caused due to improper control
water level in steam generator. Such shutdowns
greatly affect the plant availability and must be
reduced. Water level control of coupled tank
interacting system is a very difficult, becauseof the system nonlinearities and uncertainties.
At present, constant gain PI controllers
consisting problems related to peak overshoot
are implemented in various small scale and
large scale industries where process control is
carried out. Therefor PI controller is avoided
due to the overshoot and oscillatory problems.
Performance improvement for process level
control is therefore in great need.

ABSTRACT:In distance learning and online
education environment libraries needs to provide
the right information on a single platformto its
users from all resources or databases available
in the library in aminimum of time. A library
portal is single-user interface for accessing a
wide variety of electronic resources, both within
and outside the library. A few federated search
engines like EBSCO Discovery service, Summon
(web scale discovery service), Knimbus,
Mendeley, FedGate, ABCD open source
software, Google CSE etc are being used by
libraries to give access to all subscribed or free
online e-resources as well as library catalogues,
archives’ and other reading materials in the
library to save the time of readers and give
easy access to multiple databases and resources
through federated search tool. In this article the
author discussed about the selected commercial
as well as open source discovery tools used in
Indian Libraries and a case study of Modern
College of Arts, Science and Commerce,

INTRODUCTION
Many resources in libraries are now available
online on the internet in the form of ebooks,
ejournals and databases which created a need of
a federated search tool for all different types of
databases which the library has in its holding and
has subscribed online. Digital library softwares
like DSpace, Greenstone, E-Prints, etc which are
Integrated Information Discovery Tools in Indian
Libraries: A case study
used widely all over the world are not enough
to handle all e-information and library holdings
and to bring the libraries online. New software
companies are working on finding solutions for
a single search platform for all the resources
in library. Western countries libraries are using
commercial and in-house softwares designed by
their IT team as per their readers’ requirements.
In India very few libraries are having separate IT
team or staffs. In most of the Indian libraries the
digital library is managed by library professionals
using DSpace, Greenstone or E-Prints Software
and other content management softwares like

Computer-aided Diagnosis in Brain MR Imaging-A Step Towards Automatic Lesion Interpretation

Abstract- The ever-increasing stream of
images and other information makes heavy
demands on the radiologists. Magnetic
Resonance Imaging (MRI), because of its
superior soft tissue differentiation characteristics
along with high spatial resolution and contrast
is proved to be an important tool in the clinical
and surgical environment. In this patient is not
exposed to any harmful ionizing radiations.
Brain MRIs may be used to assess disorders such
as HIV infection of the brain, stroke, head injury,
coma, Alzheimer disease, tumors and multiple
sclerosis. Radiologists examine the Brain MR
Images and based on visual interpretation of the
films along with pathological reports, identify
the presence of lesions. The large volume of
MRI data to be analyzed with limited number
of radiologists is labor intensive and costly task
which may lead to inaccuracy in interpretation
when the number of cases is more. This demands
a need for automated systems for analysis
and classification of different medical images.
Computer assistance has already proved its
value and will undoubtedly play a greater role
in the future.
Keywords : Magnetic Resonance Imaging
(MRI), Computer-aided Diagnosis (CAD).
I. INTRODUCTION
Medical imaging has contributed significantly
to progress in medicine since the discovery of
x-rays in 1895 by W C Roentgen. The imaging
modalities like Ultrasonography, Computed
Tomography (CT), Magnetic Resonance
Imaging (MRI) and Digital Radiography have
been developed since then. Over the period of
last 50 years tremendous growth has been seen
in the field of diagnostic imaging [1].

Epidemiological Study of Insects Bite ReactionFrom Pune City

Introduction
Arthropods produce an injury to the skin by
a variety of mechanisms; one or more of which
may be involved in an individual case. Moisture,
warmth, carbon dioxide, estrogens and lactic
acid in sweat are among various factors that
have been found to attract mosquitoes. The
important species that molest man belong to 4
families: Apidae, Bombidae (bees), Vespidae
(wasps), Formicidae (ants). The physical effects
of the arthropod bites on human skin receive less
attention, especially in the rural areas where the
per capita income is less.Whether we are hiking
in the mountains or playing in our backyard,
we run the risk of exposure to the offended
arthropods. The number of skin disorders caused
by arthropods varies from trivial bites and stings
to severe systemic reactions and even death.

Population studies suggest that approximately
1/3rd of the individuals suffering from systemic
reactions have a personal history of atopic
disease. Large local reactions are swellings
exceeding a diameter of 10 cm and lasting longer
than 24 hrs, with an occasional blister.
Certain occupations may carry an increased
risk of reactions to arthropods. Forestry
workers, for example, may be exposed to the
urticating hair of caterpillars of certain species
of Lepidoptera, and dock workers handling
food stuffs may be attacked by mites infesting
the cargo. Also, pregnant women appear more
attractive to mosquitoes than the non-pregnant.
