Culture is a system of shared meaning held by members that distinguishes the organization from other organizations. This is a set of characteristics that the organization values. It can be summarized that culture is a pattern of beliefs and expectations shared by the organization members. These beliefs and expectations produce norms that shape the behaviour of both individuals and groups within an organization. Every organization has a culture. It has its own cultural norms that constitute the expected, supported, and accepted ways of behaving. These norms are mostly unwritten and tell employees the way things really are. The present study lays stress on the Culture of the health care sector taking into consideration two hospitals i.e. SKIMS and GMC Jammu. The study revealed that SKIMS has a below satisfactory environment for OCTAPACE while as opposite holds true for GMC Jammu. The junior staff of SKIMS is less satisfied with the culture of their hospital in comparison to GMC Jammu.

In conventional assignment problem, cost is always certain. In this paper, Assignment problem with crisp, fuzzy and intuitionistic fuzzy numbers as cost coefficients is investigated. There is no systematic approach for finding an optimal solution for mixed intuitionistic fuzzy assignment problem. This paper develops an approach to solve a mixed intuitionistic fuzzy assignment problem where cost is not in deterministic numbers but imprecise ones. The solution procedure of mixed intuitionistic fuzzy assignment problem is proposed to find the optimal assignment and also obtain an optimal value in terms of triangular intuitionistic fuzzy numbers. Numerical examples show that an intuitionistic fuzzy ranking method offers an effective tool for handling an intuitionistic fuzzy assignment problem.

In this paper, we made an attempt to study the algebraic nature of anti S-fuzzy subfield of a field.

Nutrient evaluation and acceptability of cookies produced from wheat flour, tiger nut milk and fermented jack fruit seeds (Artocarpus heterophyllus). Jack fruit seeds were removed, sliced and boiled for about 60 minutes. The fermented seed was obtained by adding 3:1 ratio of water to 500g boiled jackfruit seed and were allowed to ferment naturally at room temperate for 48 hours, oven dried at 60? for 1hour, milled and sieved. Date palm fruit was washed and de-seeded. The date palm (with the pericarp) was oven dried at 45? for 8hours, milled and sieved. Tiger nut tubers was cleaned, sorted, washed and soaked overnight and milled. Tiger nut milk was centrifuged for 15mintues and pasteurized at 72? for 15minutes. Four samples were formulated FJWC1 to FJWC4.  Proximate composition of the cookies shows that cookies were higher in moisture, protein, ash (19.70%, 18.97% and 2.99%) for sample FJWC4, crude fibre (2.00%) and carbohydrate (58.82%) in FJWC1 while crude fat (13.44) in FJWC3. Micronutrient composition shows that sample FJWC4 was higher in calcium (48mg/100g), manganese (7250mg/100), iron (54250mg/100g), zinc (32720mg/100g), vitamin A (1180mg/100g) and vitamin C (1840mg/100g) while sample FJWC3 was higher in manganese (60mg/100g) and copper (2520mg/100g). Sample FJWC4 had the best score in all the sensory parameters for the formulated cookies except sample FJWC1 (100% wheat flour). 

The Strychnos spinosa seed were analysed to establish its proximate, minerals and anti-nutritional compositions using standard analytical methods. The seed, on dry weight basis, contains crude protein (6.40%), crude lipid (1.96%), ash (2.30%), available carbohydrates (66.86%), calorific value (310.68kcal/100g) and moisture (17.20%). The seed is rich in, potassium (1260mg/100g), magnesium (49.00mg/100g), iron (1.30mg/100g), sodium (20.60 mg/100g) and phosphorus (69.00mg/100g). Though, the seed also has high content of total oxalate (50.30 %) and phytic acid (198.25 mg/100g). The levels of various nutrient and mineral elements varied significantly, which indicates the potential of the seed to be harnessed for diverse application for value addition as health food provided that the anti-nutritional factors are tackled appropriately. 

Stress is a dynamic condition in which individual is confronted with an opportunity, constraint, or demand related to what he or she desires and for which the outcomes are perceived to be uncertain. Constraints are barriers that keep employees away from doing what they desire. Constraints and demand can lead to potential stress, when they are coupled with uncertainty about the outcomes potential stress becomes actual stress. In this review stress is considered as an unpleasant emotion which manifests itself through tension, frustration, anxiety, anger and depression. All these emotions are result of different aspects of the working environment and personal lives of the employees. Moreover today the organizations have changed from manual to automated office management. Light of all these spasmodic changes the organizations and the individual alike have to adapt themselves in order to coop with the global challenges for survival. All these challenges consequently lead to occupational stress. The article is designed to highlight different causes and consequences of occupational stress with a view to manage it through individual and organizational approaches.

In the country like India where population is increasing at a rapid rate the electrical power demand has become a great problem. Unfortunately the conventional energy resources are limited, cause greenhouse emissions and are expected to increase in costs due to an increase in the demand. Recently, the new concept of MicroGrid has been emerging on distribution network for integration of micro generation in low voltage network and to increase the reliability of supply. A microgrid is a cluster of micro generators, loads, storage devices, control devices and a low voltage distribution network functioning in a coordinated manner. The microgrid can operate in two different modes: interconnected or emergency. In first mode the microgrid is connected with the conventional low voltage distribution network for importing or exporting electricity. In emergency mode the microgrid is isolated (islanded) with the help of control devices from the distribution network and uses local micro-generators, changing from power control to frequency control. Most of the micro sources installed in a microgrid cannot be connected directly to the electrical network therefore; power electronics interfaces (dc/ac or ac/dc/ac) are required. Thus, the inverter control is also a challenge for smooth and reliable operation of a smart microgrid. This paper describes microgrid operation in various modes and various control strategies adopted.

In this work Mahua oil cake was used to extract the bio oil using fixed bed fast pyrolysis experiments. The effects of three parameters on the pyrolysis efficiency were tested to identify the optimal bio oil production. The parameters are temperature, nitrogen gas flow rate and feed stock particle size. The Response Surface Methodology (RSM), with a Box Behnken Design (BBD), was used for modelling and optimizes the process parameters. The results showed that the second-order polynomial equation explains adequately the non-linear nature of the modelled response. An R2 value of 0.9318 indicates a sufficient adjustment of the model with the experimental data. The optimal conditions found to be at the temperature of 550°C, N2 flow rate of 0.3 lpm and particle size of 4 mm. The yield of bio-oil was obtained 25.90 wt %. In addition the bio oil was characterized by elemental the gas chromatography - mass spectrometry (GC- MS) were analyzed.

Dredging of the BONNY OFFSHORE TERMINAL which crosses a bar of 20km long and if dredged will give access to big and modern vessels to enter Port-Harcourt wharf. This study is the analysis of the cost and benefits of carrying out this task. In addition, the problem of selecting a dredger was formulated as a linear programming problem subject to environmental cost and other constraints. Data on the type of equipment, cost, man power needs, environmental friendliness, economy and efficiency were obtained from literature and interviews. The suction dredger was the most suitable dredging machine to work in the area. Other machines such as cutter dredger and grab dredger were found to be expensive and unsafe in areas with a high tidal length. The results are important in decision making on the profitability or otherwise of carrying out similar projects in other areas.

Studies on orange production in Mazandaran province are necessary due to its potential for production and large cultivation area. In this study energy input-output, economic analysis and econometric modeling of energy input for orange production in Sari region of Iran were carried out. From a total of 86 farmers considered for the analysis, the total input and output energy were 54.2 and 59.2 GJ ha-1, respectively. Diesel fuel, fertilizer and water had the highest energy values per hectare, respectively. Results showed that the overall energy ratio (Energy use efficiency) was calculated as 1.09. The relationships between various energy sources and yield were found using Cobb-Douglas production function. Econometric models showed that among all energy sources chemical fertilizer, farmyard manure and water for irrigation had the most significant impact on orange yield. Additionally, economic analysis was carried out with results showing that the bene?t to cost ratio and net return for orange production were 10.6 and 16420.4 $ h-1, respectively.
