 Abstract

Employee performance has direct impact on organization performance. Therefore, the role of human resources to elevate the organization performance is essential. Many factors affect employee performance. This study proposes five hypotheses for empirical research aiming to examine the role of engagement in mediation the effect of job characteristics, extrinsic compensation, and authentic leadership on employee performance. The results of empirical studies, designed based on these hypotheses, help the organization to underline which factors that influence employee performance and how engagement can moderate those factors to stimulate the employee performance.

 Abstract

One of the best applications of Practical Psychology is fixing certain parameters to understand the complex nature of human beings. Generally the analysis of human nature is based on the standard principles which are theoretically approved by the society we live in and the culture voluntarily adopted by us. It should be admitted that not all truly and cent percent qualify to be adjudged as perfect or ideal beings. Psychologically there are temptations, physical and mental handicaps, diffidence in certain paths of life and temporary enthusiasm, which constitute our personality. Despite this, with no exception, all the virtues and vices accompany everyone in certain measures. Obviously the warring spirit between them continually creates confusion or chaos at the mental level owing the the results surfacing. We easily label a person with our own judgement which has a rigid moral platform. Our inference is mostly based only on the effect than the cause which had prompted the person to act so. Many times it is the circumstances which burden a person to deviate from the normal path. Therefore, our yardstick may not be faultless in an absolute manner. In this regard Lucifer Effect is a guideline for us to get a clarity regarding why good people deviate from the standard social principles, which have earned accreditation. Generally there is an attempt to place hurriedly a blame on the mental frame of the evil-doer. Onlookers are ever critical about the choice of the �ism� preferred by the person without knowing it properly. The most commonly mistaken behavioural science in this regard is Hedonism. It is very casually taken for granted that Hedonists have been striving only for Pleasure irrespective of the circumstances. It is also abruptly concluded that Hedonism does encourage even wrong doing just for the sake of gaining pleasure. This paper attempts to present the clear picture of Hedonism with Psychological and Ethical aspects so that this ism can be used in the present age for the benefit of the society in an agreeable manner.

 Abstract

Objective: To assess the nutritional and functional status of hospitalized elderly patients and whether their nutritional status was affecting functional status. Methodology: An observational study conducted on 50 elderly patients (>60 years old) admitted at Masina Hospital for medical treatment.The nutritional status was assessed by Mini nutritional assessment (MNA) and Nutritional checklist (NCL) whereas Barthel index were used for functional assessment and symptoms, biochemical parameter was also noted. Information was collected from the patients, their relatives and responsible staff. Chi Square test was used to compare the nutritional and functional assessment. Result:Weight loss and Gastrointestinal symptoms were majorly observed. According to the NCL 38% of participants were at high risk, 40% were at moderate risk of malnutrition, and 22% had good nutrition. There was a high nutritional risk in patients with low income. As per MNA grading, 28% were at risk of malnutrition, 46% were malnourished and 26% were having normal nutritional status. There was significant co relation (p<0.05) found between nutritional and functional status of patients. Barthel index score was significantly lower in those at high risk of malnutrition. Conclusion: There is an interrelationship between the nutritional status of the elderly and reduced functional capacity. Therefore, early nutritional assessment and nutritional care plan is important for this vulnerable group.

This Research paper is an attempt to reflect the overview of international dispute settlement mechanism i.e. International court of justice, world intellectual property organization and world trade organization. This research paper has broadly explained about the methods used by the ICJ, WIPO and WTO to settle the international disputes of its member�s state. The ICJ which is an international court and which is often called as world court is an organ of united nation. The member states of the ICJ settle their dispute as per the UN charter and ICJ statue. World intellectual property organization which is also a specialized agency of the United Nations is also working to protect the intellectual property rights of the states through its WIPO arbitration and mediation center. World trade organization works as a regulator of trade between the two nations and settle the international dispute between the members states by dispute settlement board. In this research paper, we will be discussing about the measure used by these organization to settle the disputes between their member�s states.

 Abstract

Solar energy is the most abundant source of energy available on earth. This can be used by converting it into either thermal energy or electric energy with the help of collector & photovoltaic cell. PV cell is one of the most popular renewable energy products. It can directly convert the solar radiation into electricity which can be utilized to power household appliances. However, during the operation of the PV cell, only around 15% of solar radiation is converted to electricity with the rest converted to heat. The electrical efficiency will decrease when the operating temperature of the PV module increases. In this work, we developed two different cooling techniques (one passive & one active) to maintain the temperature of PV module & compared with conventional panel under natural convection. For the active cooling, wood wool is attached at the backside of the panel. The water is provided on that after 2 hours for heat removal. For the passive cooling, honeycomb fins made up of aluminium sheet of 0.8 mm thickness are used & pressed fit at the backside of the panel with the help of plywood & nut bolts. The experimental result shows 15% improvement in electrical efficiency than the conventional panel.

 Abstract

The novel red-emitting phosphors of Eu3+-activated alkaline earth metal (Sr and Mg) vanadate phosphors, Na(Sr0.97-x, Mgx)VO4:Eu3+0.03 (x = 0 to 0.97) has been successfully synthesized using solid state reaction method and characterized through structure, morphology, luminescence (excitation, emission and CIE coordinates) and decay rate properties as a function of Mg ion concentration. The phosphors show an intense and broad excitation band (monitored for 5D0 ? 7F2 transition of Eu3+) in the 220- 400 nm spectral regions which make them highly suitable for GaN-based LED chips. These phosphors can be efficiently excited by near UV light and exhibit a dominant red emission at 611 nm (5D0?7F2). The decay lifetime and color coordinates were evaluated for Na(Sr,Mg)VO4:Eu3+ phosphors. Therefore, these phosphors could be a potential candidate for light emitting diodes and display applications.

 Abstract

Articulated Manipulators or Robotic Arms, as we know them, are state of the art mechatronics equipment that is at the pinnacle of the automation technologies. They have revolutionized the production processes in various industries, especially in the automobile and electronics sector. Being so advanced, they are not accessible and affordable to many, who aspire to become a robotics engineer and study robotics. The purpose of this paper is centered around the design, development and analysis (using forward kinematics) of an Arduino based 5 degrees of freedom (d.o.f) pick and place robotic arm which is manufactured using 3D Printing technology and uses servo motors. However, the development of the robotic arm itself is not sufficient unless we understand how robots are taught to do the task they are intended and developed to perform. Therefore, this paper also focuses on the various methods of Robot Teaching also known as Robot Jogging and the development of a Teach Pendant which uses potentiometers and buttons as its core components. This enables the user to teach the robotic arm to perform a required task.
