The study is centred on understanding the underlining factors influencing consumer’s choice in purchasing patterns. Contemporary consumers are believed to reflect elements of rationality and irrationality in their consumption preferences. So the study assessed the choice motives which prompt the patronage of some selected household items amongst university students. These items are phones, laptops and consumables. The students were randomly selected on gender basis. Assessed factors include peer influence, trends, affordability, advertorials, needs, lifestyle, health, religion, income and product packaging. Findings revealed that the influence of rationality and irrationality are inherent in consumer behaviours, but personal interest of consumers at a particular point in time takes precedence.

Fractures fixation with open reduction and compression plates is frequently used in diaphyseal radius/ulna fractures because of advantages like proper alignment, maintaining length and rotational alignment. This study compares the outcomes of treatment of fracture cases with dynamic compression plates and intra-medullary nailing by a square nail in mid shaft radius/ulna fractures. The study was conducted in Rajiv Gandhi Institute of Medical Sciences, [RIMS] Adilabad during the period from March 2014-Dec 2017. The study involved n=55 cases of which n=31 were male and n=24 were female. The common age group involved was 31- 40yrs contributing to 41.81% (n=23) of cases followed by 23.63 % (n=13) cases in 21 -30 yrs age group and 20% (n=11) cases in 41 – 50 yrs age group. Most common type of fracture was Transverse type in 37 cases, oblique in 10 cases and comminuted in 8 cases. Dynamic compression plates were used in 61.82% (n=31) of cases, IM nail was used in 38.18% (n=24) of cases. Dynamic compression plate treated patients had overall 94.11% cases in Excellent and good results and 90.48% of the IM nail treated patients had excellent and good results. To conclude Treatment of diaphyseal forearm is challenging as it because of lack of censuses regarding treatment and it requires judicious selection of cases for using compression plates or IM nail. Within the limitation of the present study, it may be concluded that dynamic compression plate offers better overall outcomes in the treatment of diaphyseal radius/ulna fractures

The phenomena of labour migration from South Asia to GCC countries are result of structural changes in the demand and supply of labours in the GCC countries in the context of different time and space. The oil producing countries of Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) is the largest destinations for South Asian migrant labourers. South Asian countries mainly India, Pakistan and Bangladesh are the largest source of origin of migrants in GCC Countries. The huge stock of temporary South Asian migrants led to largest inflow of remittances in origin countries. Among the South Asian countries; India is the largest source for supplying of migrant labourers in the GCC countries as well as top remittances recipient country. The labour migration from India to GCC countries is recent phenomena began with incident of oil boom in the GCC countries in 1973. In the initial phase of labour migration from India to GCC countries was dominated by Kerala but recently there are regional variations showed in the labour migration from India to GCC countries. In these entire discussion, paper attempts to present an analysis and overview of the nexus of migration and remittances in South Asian countries with special references to India.

The Scarlet Letter has aroused people‟s attention since its publication. The analysis of the protagonist, Hester Prynne in the novel, has always been a heated topic at home and abroad. Scholars have interpreted Hester Prynne from many perspectives like Archetypal Criticism, Modernism or Feminism, especially eco-feminism. Therefore, this article tries to extend the previous‟ studies in terms of Androgyny. Based on the theory of Androgyny, this article aims to analyze both the femininity and masculinity of Hester Prynne, which is to reveal the deconstruction of binary opposition in the traditional viewpoint of sexuality. Hester Prynne's femininity can be interpreted from her feminine charm and maternity, while her masculinity can be analyzed from rebellious spirit and survivability. Besides, this article explores the influence of Hester's androgynous characteristics on herself, Dimmesdale, Chillingworth and other people around her, which is to embody Hester's self-growth. As a result of her innermost androgyny, Hester grows from an unworldly young woman to a strong-willed, independent and mature woman.

It is now over four decades since the idea of a New International Economic Order (NIEO) was proposed. Same is still been popularized, applauded tacitly by the developing Nations and seen as the way to go by the international community. This work seeks to examine the proposed new economic order and its possibilities and challenges. The analysis indicates that no significant progress has been made in the demands listed as contributing to the NIEO, especially, the ones that are germane to the heart of the present system. They are in the areas of money and finance; integrated programme and terms of trade; technology and TNEs; sovereignty and equal rights; and co-operation among developing countries. It is important to state that as long as these basic issues are not resolved and a consensus does not emerge concerning them. The possibility of a new international economic order will continue to gloom.

New challenges about how to measure the performance of organizations have arisen since big data can be found everywhere. In order to make proper decisions, management needs to have strong insight into what is important to the firm and how to improve it. This study looks into logistics companies that rely heavily upon labor as the examples. While transportation and distribution are very important processes for logistics companies to meet customers‟ requirements, the process of creating appropriate measures is difficult due to the complexity of these activities. The aim of this research is to evaluate the relationship among these key performance indicators and find out the possible direction and coverage of improvement for such companies using hybrid DANP1 cause-effect and Influential Network Relation Map models. We collected data through expert questionnaires with questions based on discussions with experts (including managers and scholars). The research results help support managers‟ decision making for improvements in their firm and also can be applied in employee reward systems.

There are limited study of the risk factors and clinical characteristics of patients presenting with myocardial infarction (MI) at a young age in India. To study clinical profile of young patient with MI in India. The young MI patients were more likely to be male (80%), with high BMI (31 kg/m2), with a family history of premature coronary artery disease (49%) and to be current smokers (57.1%). 36% patients had none or only one traditional risk factor for MI. Male gender, Smoking, obesity and a family history of premature coronary artery disease being particularly prevalent in young MI patients

Calcification in the carotid artery (CACs) can be visible in the panoramic radiographs (PRs) near the region of the cervical vertebrae C3-C4, posterior to angle of mandible. The aim of this study was to evaluate the incidence of CACs on PRs and their linkage with hypertension, age, gender and smoking habits. PRs of 2000 patients were evaluated. The age group was chosen between 20 to70 year old people and their PRs had been taken for different clinical reasons. Information about smoking habits, hypertension and other vascular events was obtained from OPD case papers. The observers analyzed the presence of radiopaque mass in the region of posterior to angle of mandible bilaterally on PRs. The results showed a 0.6 % incidence of CACs on 2000 PRs. In our study no significant relationship was found between smokers and incidence of carotid artery calcification .In our study significant statistical correlation found between CVD and PAD and associated risk factor with CAC on panoramic radiographs.

Courts are the cornerstone of an ordered society. Legislature legislates or enacts law and statutes are the edict of the legislature. Courts implement those edicts through interpretation. Legislature lays down the general principles. Judiciary applies those principles in concrete cases. From the earliest Vedic ages, India has had a recorded legal history. In fact, a civil legal system might well have been in existence in the Bronze Age and in the Indus Valley civilization. India was always governed by laws as laid down in the Arthashastra way back in 400 BC and then later in 100 AD in the Manusmriti. The Vedas, Upanishads and other religious books of the Hindus, Jains and Buddhists put laws in place in ancient India, so the Indians of these times were already exposed to the idea of living under the law. The first major case of judicial activism through social action litigation was the Bihar under trials case. In 1980 in came in the form of a writ petition under Article 21 by some professions of law revealing the barbaric conditions of detention in the Agra protective Home, followed by a case against Delhi women's Home field by a Delhi law faculty student and a social worker. Judicial activism is not an aberration. It is an essential aspect of the dynamics of a constitutional court. It is a counter-majoritarian check on democracy. Judicial activism, however, does not mean governance by the judiciary. Judicial activism must also function within the limits of the judicial process. Within those limits, it performs the function of stigmatizing, as well as legitimizing, the actions of the other bodies of government – more often legitimizing than stigmatizing.

Recent economic developments are more dependent on the value created by intangible assets than tangible company's assets. Intangible assets in question are intellectual capital that is recognized as the basis of individual, organizational, and general competition in the 21st century. The rapid global economy and technological innovations that have led to tough competition in the business world make IC creation, management, measurement, and evaluation an important indicator in improving company performance that will affect the value of the company in the future. This study aims to determine the strong influence of intellectual capital on company performance, and how the influence of human capital on structural capital and relation capital by distributing questionnaires to 100 employees of banking companies in Jakarta for middle and upper positions. Approaching method used is Partial Least Square (PLS). Based on research that has been conducted, it can be concluded that human capital has influence on relation capital and structural capital. Similarly, human capital and relation capital has a significant influence on company performance, but structural capital doesn’t have significant effect on company performance.

An analysis of 129 cases of vocal cord polyps was done in this study. It was most often seen in middle aged persons during third, fourth, and fifth decades of life. Maximum incidence was in the 5th decade. The youngest of the patient was 26 years of age and the oldest was of 45 years, with the mean age of 36 years. Vocal cord polyps were found predominantly in males (86%), with a male and female ratio of 6.1:1. In all 129 cases, the lesions were unilateral and mostly situated in the middle of the vocal cords. Smoking (68.2%), vocal abuse or misuse (62.8%), and chronic respiratory tract infection (30.2%) were the main aetiological factors. There were no dysplastic changes in the epithelium. The treatment options for vocal cord polyps included both non-invasive and invasive techniques. Non-invasive techniques included conservative therapy with voice rest, steam inhalation, antiallergics, antibiotics, and antireflux drugs. Conservative treatment was considered as an option in vocal cord polyps which were small and of recent onset. Invasive technique was a combination of surgery and vocal rehabilitation. Conventional microlaryngeal surgery was ideal for the treatment of vocal cord polyps. In 82 cases (63.6%), the histopathological picture was of fibroangioma and in other 47 cases (36.4%) the picture was of chronic nonspecific inflammation with oedema. There were recurrences in 18 cases within one year of surgery. Operating measures did not prevent recurrences of vocal cord polyps. Recurrences were significantly less in the patients who stopped smoking and misusing or abusing their voices after surgery. Voice therapy and cessation of smoking in the postoperative period played important roles in the long term results of vocal cord polyps. Better outcome and rapid improvement were observed in those patients who underwent voice therapy in follow ups.
