Theoretical Development In The Field Of Human Resources Management: Issues And Challenges For The Future
(Indian Society for Health and Advanced Research, 2024-05) Kumar, R. Bhuvanesh; R, Sankar Ganesh.
The ?eld of human resource management (HRM) has evolved signi?cantly over the past few decades, transitioning from a predominantly administrative function to a strategic partner integral to organizational success. As businesses navigate the complexities of a rapidly changing global landscape, HRM theories must adapt to address emerging challenges and remain relevant. This article critically examines the current state of theoretical development in HRM and identi?es salient issues that must be addressed to propel the ?eld forward. One of the most pressing challenges facing HRM theorists is the need to incorporate a more holistic and strategic approach to people management. Traditional theories have often focused on isolated aspects of HRM, such as recruitment, training, or performance management. However, contemporary organizations demand an integrated and systematic approach that considers the interdependencies between various HRM functions and their alignment with overarching organizational objectives. Moreover, the rapid pace of technological advancements and the increasing adoption of automation and digitalization have profoundly impacted the workforce and the nature of work itself. Existing HRM theories must address the implications of these disruptive forces, including changes in skill requirements, job roles, and workforce composition.
A Study On Effectiveness Of Inventory Management
(Indian Society for Health and Advanced Research, 2024-05) G, Surendra.; R, Sankar Ganesh.
The main aim of an inventory management system is to keep the stock in such a way that it is neither overstock nor understock. The overstock condition will reduce the other production processes and understock will lead to stoppage of work. The main purpose of inventory management is to help businesses easily and ef?ciently manage the ordering, stocking, storing, and using of inventory. Inventory management, a critical element of the supply chain, is the tracking of inventory from manufacturers to warehouses and from these facilities to a point of sale. The goal of inventory management is to have the right products in the right place at the right time. The study utilizes a combination of quantitative and qualitative research methods. Data collection involves a thorough analysis of interviews with key personnel involved in inventory management, and a comparative study of industry best practices. The assessment of the effectiveness of inventory management reveals a commendable strategic approach to handling inventory challenges. This accuracy in forecasting signi?cantly reduces stockouts, prevents overstock situations, and enhances overall operational ef?ciency. To further enhance the effectiveness of inventory management several strategic initiatives are proposed. Firstly, the company should invest in advanced data analytics and predictive modeling tools to improve demand forecasting accuracy and dynamically optimize inventory levels.

(Indian Society for Health and Advanced Research, 2024-05) Joseph, Mary Shantha; Manjukashika, K. R.
Young adulthood can be a tumultuous phase of life where individuals are confronted by complicated psychological, physical, and social transitions. One young adult studying at a women's college presents emotional regulation issues in the classroom. A brief assessment by the counsellor reveals a more critical case with symptoms of severe anxiety, suicidal ideations, and the underlying family trauma of the young adult. This paper illustrates the course of therapeutic treatment for this young adult to resolve the symptoms of anxiety, deep-rooted trauma, and suicidal thoughts. Through a case study approach, the outcomes of the evidence-based techniques utilised by the counsellor- Egan's Skilled Helper Model, Acceptance Commitment Therapy, and the Assessment and Management of Suicide Risk梐re shown. This paper illustrates the importance of understanding and tailoring such evidence-based treatment techniques by mental health practitioners, especially for adolescents and young adults with suicide risk.
Errors Made By Adivasi Students In Learning Bengali And English Languages In West Bengal
(Indian Society for Health and Advanced Research, 2024-05) Mondal, Soumitra; Sarkar, Pradip
Adivasi students primarily converse in regional languages at home, making learning foreign languages challenging. Attending Bengali-only schools poses dif?culties for them, as does learning English. Bengali is acquired more swiftly due to its proximity to their native tongues compared to English. Academic performance serves as an indicator of language pro?ciency, yet discrepancies in achievement between subjects may exist. Analyzing error rates and categories in Bengali and English can reveal differences in learning approaches. Despite linguistic variations, comparing languages under similar circumstances is plausible. Future corrective measures hinge on the perspectives of language teachers and Adivasi students. Language pro?ciency is crucial for education, social interaction, and personal growth. Schools play a vital role in fostering linguistic competence through structured learning environments. Various education commissions in India have recommended multilingual education to address linguistic diversity effectively. However, challenges such as the shortage of tribal language instructors persist. Multilingual pedagogy is essential for promoting globalization and intercultural communication. Overall, fostering linguistic con?dence and pro?ciency is crucial for Adivasi students to thrive in diverse linguistic environments.
The Emotional Journey: Investigating Mood Swings In Adolescence And Their Impact On Mental Health
(Indian Society for Health and Advanced Research, 2024-05) Zaman, Afsana; Sengupta, Maumita
Adolescence heralds a pivotal stage of growth marked by profound shifts in physical, cognitive, and socioemotional realms. Central to this metamorphosis is the experience of emotional volatility, characterized by rapid and intense ?uctuations in mood. Understanding the intricacies of adolescent mood swings is imperative for fostering mental health and well-being during this critical juncture. To unravel the complexity of emotional volatility, this study delves into the frequency, patterns, contributing factors, and consequences of mood swings in teenagers. Employing a mixed-methods approach, quantitative and qualitative data from surveys, interviews, and self-report measures were analyzed among adolescents aged 13�. The ?ndings underscore the prevalence of mood swings among teenagers, their frequent occurrence, and their impact across various domains such as academic performance, social interactions, and emotional health. Furthermore, mood ?uctuations correlate with heightened risks of mental health issues like anxiety, depression, and diminished self- esteem. Various theoretical frameworks, including developmental psychology and neurobiology, are explored to elucidate the underlying mechanisms of adolescent mood swings. The interplay between mood swings and mental health outcomes is found to be in?uenced by an array of factors, including protective elements, environmental stressors, and biological predispositions. Based on these insights, recommendations are proposed for interventions and support strategies, underscoring the importance of psychoeducation, early intervention initiatives, skill-building programs, and the cultivation of nurturing environments within families, communities, and schools.

(Indian Society for Health and Advanced Research, 2024-05) Belwalkar, Mugdha; Chitale, Anushka; Shukla, Varsha; Lokur, Anushree
Antimicrobial Resistance (AMR) has been a silent pandemic. Newer antibiotics are required to treat drug-resistant pathogens. Antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) are promising next-generation antibiotics that are naturally produced in all living organisms. They are crucial components of the natural resistance framework of an organism. Small cationic peptides of 10-60 amino acid lengths have been successfully used as antibiotics. Marine ecosystems have an immense diversity of organisms and microorganisms that interact with each other, and thus have unique defense mechanisms. Marine cone snails are an untapped source of small, cationic AMPs. These snails secrete various proteinaceous venoms to deal with predators and preys. These cone snail venoms remain unexplored for their potential as antimicrobial peptides. The structural analysis of the venomous protein, Turritoxin PaIAa, from cone snails showed a high content of amino acids commonly found in AMPs. However, it did not exhibit any antibacterial activity. This protein was further investigated by overlap fractionation to identify hidden antimicrobial and cell-penetrating peptides. The unique peptide stretches obtained from PaIAa were evaluated against the top- priority ESKAPE pathogens. All peptides were active against A. baumannii. All peptides had cell-penetrating properties. These AMP candidates also showed promising physical, physicochemical, and pharmacokinetic properties. The AMP candidates identi?ed in this study can be further evaluated by in vitro and in vivo testing.
Swedana Therapy A Hope For Medopradoshaja Vikara W.S.R. Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) Patients
(Indian Society for Health and Advanced Research, 2024-05) Mishra, Dipti; Abhiranjan; Kumar, Sujeet
Swedana (sudation) therapy is a process which has a dual role in panchkarma as well as pradhan karma in relevance to panchkarma and the treatment of various vata-kaphaja and medopradoshaja vikara. Swedana helps to relief stiffness heaviness and coldness of the body and makes the body to perspire. It removes toxins from the body through hair follicles present all over the skin .The perspiration brought about by the swedana is more than the normal. Swedana is preventive, supportive as well as therapeutic. Acharya charak has mentioned the root of origin of swedavaha srotas (channels) lies in Meda (fat, lipids, Adipose tissue) and lomakoop (minute pores of the skin located around base of hair follicles). Sweda is considered to be excreta (Mala) of meda dhatu. The root of origin of medovaha srotas (channels) are Vrikka (kidney) and vapvahana(peritoneal membrane). The Vrikka (kidney) is originated from prasada bhag of Rakta (Blood) and meda. In Chronic kidney disease (CKD), the hemodynamics of the kidney is hampered which leads to accumulation of toxins and un?ltered excretory wastes. So with the help of swedana the hemodynamics of kidney and the body is improved which facilitates the expulsion of accumulated toxins through activation of sweat glands to produce more sweat. It causes apana vata anulomana which further facilitates micturition. In this article you will come to know the relevance of swedana in chronic kidney disease (CKD) patients.

Pre朞perative Neutrophil朙ymphocyte Ratio To Predict Outcomes In Elective Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy
(Indian Society for Health and Advanced Research, 2024-05) Aithal, Srikanth K.; Ramani, Kadambari
Background: Many scoring systems exist to predict operative dif?culty and outcomes of laparoscopic cholecystectomy in acute cholecystitis. In elective laparoscopy where ambulatory/ outpatient surgery is considered, few studies are available. Neutrophil-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) can be used as an effective pre-operative predictive marker in elective laparoscopic cholecystectomy. A single center prospective observational study was done over a period of one year in 72 patientsMaterials and Methods: undergoing elective laparoscopic cholecystectomy. Only those patients with predicted easy/ moderate laparoscopic cholecystectomy were included. NLR ? 3 was considered high. Intraoperative and postoperative outcomes were studied in normal and high NLR patients. Results: Normal neutrophil-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) was noted in 46 patients (63.9%) and high NLR (? 3) in 26 patients (36.1%). Rates of previous cholecystitis/ cholangitis and ERCP with stenting were similar in both groups. Mean G10 intra-operative score was 1.98 (easy group) in normal NLR group vs 3 (moderate group) in high NLR group (p <0.05). None of the patients who participated in the study needed conversion to open procedure or had adverse intra-operative outcomes. Post-operatively, patients with normal NLR had signi?cantly low pain score at day 1 compared to high NLR group (1.91 vs 4.5; p <0.001). Patients with high NLR also had signi?cantly increased length of hospital stay (1.19 days in normal NLR vs 2.77 days in high NLR, p <0.001). Positive predictive value (PPV) of high NLR in estimating hospitalization post-surgery of more than 1 day is 92.3%. Pre-operative NLR can be used as a cost-effective and useful tool in predicting outcomes in electiveConclusion: laparoscopic cholecystectomy, even in carefully selected group of patients. In settings of outpatient cholecystectomy, this will help in decision making and patient selection.

(Indian Society for Health and Advanced Research, 2024-05) Mittal, Anjesh; Gupta, Richa; Aziz, Umer Bin Abdul; Singh, Ajay
We present a case report of a fatal mesenteric injury resulting from a crushed wine bottle following a near hanging incident. The deceased, a 23 -year-old male, was found hanging from a rope in his residence after consuming a considerable amount of alcohol. Upon investigation, it was revealed that the individual had fallen from the hanging position, leading to the wine bottle he was holding being crushed against his abdomen. The blunt force trauma from the shattered bottle caused extensive mesenteric injury, resulting in hemorrhagic shock and subsequent death. This case underscores the potential for severe and unexpected complications in cases of alcohol-related self-harm, highlighting the importance of thorough forensic examination and consideration of unusual mechanisms of injury.
Thoracoscopic Thymectomy For Stage�Thymoma With Myasthenia Gravis Using Left朣ided Three朠ortal Approach
(Indian Society for Health and Advanced Research, 2024-05) Sharma, Harish; Mittal, Deepak; Saini, Sanjay; Mittal, Deepesh
Thymoma is a rare tumor of thymic epithelial cells, often found in association with myasthenia gravis. Surgical resection is the treatment of choice for thymoma, and thoracoscopic thymectomy is a minimally invasive approach that has shown comparable outcomes to open thymectomy. Thoracoscopic thymectomy for thymoma with myasthenia gravis is a safe and effective surgical technique. It allows for complete resection of the tumor while minimizing postoperative complications. This approach provides excellent visualization and access to the thymus and surrounding structures, allowing for precise dissection and tumor removal. Additionally, the use of thoracoscopy reduces postoperative pain and shortens hospital stays compared to open thymectomy. Our case report details the successful use of the left-sided three-portal approach for thoracoscopic thymectomy in a patient with stage-1 thymoma and myasthenia gravis. The minimally invasive nature of this surgical technique not only allowed for complete resection of the tumor but also contributed to a reduction in postoperative pain and shorter hospital stays for the patient. The excellent visualization and access to the thymus and surrounding structures provided by this approach facilitated precise dissection and tumor removal, resulting in favorable outcomes for the patient.
