Modelling of the Factors Influencing the Implementation of Advance Manufacturing Technologies in MSME
Authors: Bhatt Nisha
Published: May 2017

Indian MSMEs constitute ninety percent of total number of industrial enterprises and thus fostering the employability in India. The major advantage of this sector is it’s contribution in industrial production and export. However in spite of their positive outlook towards industrial growth, these enterprises are facing technological obsolescence. The imminent need of these enterprises is technological innovations to make them competitive and survive in the global market. The solution for technological innovation aspects is use of latest automated manufacturing technologies that efficiently utilizes the resources and hence the entire chain of production. The decision of opting Advance Manufacturing Technologies (AMTs) in enterprises with limited capital resources is rather difficult as it is the question of not only the nation’s economy but employability expectations of people. The objective of this paper is to assist the mangers on a systematic framework that will answer how to perform the decision making process of adopting the AMTs in their enterprises. The key factors that one should considers while making this crucial decision are: Strategic aspects, organization structure, hands on training, implementation practices etc. A total 14 factors are considered in this study and these are modelled based on their level of priorities using Total Interpretive Structural Modelling (TISM). The model derived in this research will be helpful for manufacturing practitioners for making decisions on adopting AMTs.

Change takes time to be first understood and accepted. Also, as we know necessity is the mother of invention thus the necessity to save our Mother Earth has started its role to draw the attention of us to invent some new ways to save it, if we and our coming generations have to survive with peace and happiness. Scientists and technologists are trying to invent new ways to save the natural resources available on the earth. The medical science is trying to invent medicines and methodologies to cure diseases, which are directly or indirectly emerged as a consequence of urbanization, modernization and industrialization. Being a teacher, generally I try to make my students understand that to find an optimal solution one must understand the problem in its entirety. Therefore if we give due consideration to understand and define the problem, it becomes easier to find and implement the best possible solutions. As an intelligent fool can make things more complex and difficulty to resolve, knowingly or unknowingly, we have also applied the same course of action to handle and deal with the century’s one of the biggest threats and a challenge, Global Warming. To save mother earth, we should take some initiatives at grass root level. As we are already trying to find the cure for the problems caused by the global warming and other environment related issues, let us try to work on some preventive measures against futuristic environment related problems.
Big Data has ascended as a Catchword in an extravagant Length of Time
Authors: Kesharwani Subodh
Published: May 2017

The whole ball of wax we create leaves a digital footprint. Big data had ascended as a catchword in recent years. Principally, it means a prodigious aggregate of information that is stimulated as trails or by-products of online and offline doings — what we get using credit cards, where we travel via GPS, what we ‘like’ on Facebook or retweet on Twitter, or what we bargain either through “apnidukaan” via amazon, and so on. In this era and stage, the Data as a Service (DaaS) battle is gaining force, spurring one of the fastest growing industries in the world.“Big data” is a jargon for data sets that are so gigantic or multi-layered that old-style data processing application software’s are deprived to concord with them. Challenges contain apprehension, storage, analysis, data curation, search, sharing, and transmission, visualization, querying, and updating information privacy. The term “big data” usually refers self-effacingly to the use of extrapolative analytics, user behaviour analytics, or sure other advanced data analytics methods that extract value from data, and infrequently to a separable size of data set

Impact of Social Media on Pharmaceutical Manufacturer
Authors: Tarun ,
Published: May 2017

Now a days, manufacturers in this competitive market are fighting to stay ahead in the race whether they have already launched a product, product is in the market, launching a new product or it is still in a development phase to find out the people’s demand. Social media is the platform for everyone now a days to track the activities online and the taste and preferences of the people can be tracked. Likewise the drug manufacturers are also pitching in social media to know about the side effects of the drugs when the drug will come to the market. Even though, they already tested the drug for any side effects but they are keen to know about the genuine feelings of consumers, which are shared on social media, about their drug. This paper delineate the side effects of drugs which are being used by the patients for any particular disorder where we have attempted to capture and analyze the information about some unbridled ramification of these drugs with an assumption that the significant portion of people who are under-treatment have acknowledged their genuine feelings. We have applied sentiment analysis followed by exploratory data analysis by taking non structured reviews into consideration. We have generated a word cloud of side effects which people had mentioned in their reviews. It emphasizes on the side effects of the anti-depressant medication and how they impact the human body. The analysis is very helpful to drug manufacturers as they can understand the genuine feelings of consumers and they can change or modify the drug accordingly.

Simulation of Manufacturing System at Different Part Mix Ratio and Routing Flexibility
Authors: Kumar Rajeev
Published: May 2017

In present market scenario, manufacturing industries need to focus towards capability to provide high product variety and availability of products at the point of demand. This situation creates pressure on manufacturing firms to be flexible and to reduce lead time to fulfill customer's demand on time. Flexible Manufacturing Systems (FMS) with appropriate Routing Flexibility (RF) in addition to different scheduling strategies is the appropriate manufacturing alternative in such a case. Such systems are capable to adjust changing product mix yet providing higher performance in dynamic business environment. This research work presents simulation analysis of a FMS with varying Routing Flexibility (RF) level at different part mix ratio to validate this. The results show that varying part mix ratio has appreciable effect on the system performance, when no routing flexibility is present in the system. Also for all product mix ratios, increase in routing flexibility levels continues to improve MST performance with diminishing return.
Impact of WTO's AOA on India's Trade in Agriculture
Authors: Niranjan Sunil Kumar
Published: May 2017

The agreement on agriculture (AOA) forms a part of the final act of the Uruguay round of multilateral trade negotiation, which was signed by the member's countries in April 1994 at Marrakesh, Morocco and came into force on 1st January 1995.for the first time, agriculture features in a major way in the GATT round of multilateral trade negotiations. Although the original GATT- the predecessor of the World Trade organization (WTO) applied to trade in agriculture, various expectations to the disciplines on the use of non-tariff measures and subsidy meant that it did not do so effectively. The Uruguay round agreement sought to bring order and fair competition to this highly distorted sector of world trade by establishment of a fair and market oriented agriculture trading sector. Therefore the formation of the world trade organization (WTO) in January 1, 1995 as a successor organization for the General Agreement of Tariff and Trade (GATT) was watershed event in the history of global trade reform.

A Semi-Supervised Graph-based Algorithm for Word Sense Disambiguation
Authors: Jain Amita , Kumar Tayal Devendra , Vij Sonakshi
Published: May 2017

Word sense disambiguation is an issue of computational linguistics that aims at extracting the most appropriate sense of a word in a given context. Till date, several unsupervised graph-based methods have been devised for achieving word sense disambiguation but the majority of these methods use the notion of using multiple ambiguous words in a text corpus to create a WordNet® graph which enforces the concept of “blind leading the blind”. In this paper, a semi-supervised algorithm has been proposed and implemented that takes into consideration a clue-word for creating the desired WordNet® graph. The existing algorithms of word sense disambiguation consider all the graph connectivity measures to be equally significant but this is not the case. In this paper, a comparative study for all these graph connectivity measures is performed to discuss their connectivity aspects and priorities are assigned to them in order to generate an effective word sense disambiguation algorithm. The WordNet® graph is generated using python external libraries NetworkX and Matplotlib. The proposed algorithm’s results are tested using SemCor database and it shows considerable improvement over the unsupervised graph-based method suggested by Navigli.
Challenges of Trade Union Movement in India
Authors: Jit Ravinder
Published: May 2017

The trade union movement in India is facing many challenges. The finances of the unions are generally in a bad shape. Multiplicity of unions and inter-union rivalry makes it difficult to take a constructive approach to problems and issues. Heterogeneity of membership renders the unions unstable, weak, fragmented, uncoordinated and amorphous. Besides this, majority of unions are managed by professional politicians and lawyers who have no experience of physical work and no commitment to the organization. These outside leaders may give precedence to their personal interests and prejudices than welfare of the workers. Development of internal leadership is also not encouraged by unscrupulous politicians in the garb of union leaders. Keeping in mind all these challenges various scholars and practitioners have suggested certain measures to strengthen trade union movement in India. Developing internal leadership, presenting a united labor front for bargaining, ensuring financial stability of unions, having paid full time union office bearers, extending the boundaries of trade unions to unorganized sector and ensuring strong central legislation for recognition of representative union are some of the measures that can change the face of trade unionism in India.

PM Narendra Modi’s shock and awe demonetization announcement
on Nov. 8, accompanied by his pitch to go digital, makes deeper
analysis on the digital ecosystem inevitable. While narrower
interpretations of digital aggressiveness policy might liken it to
using less cash ostensibly to eliminate corruption, the forest of
digital expansiveness, however, goes far beyond.
Prader-Willi Syndrome: Background and Management
Authors: Abdilla Ylenia , Barbara Maria Andria , Calleja-Agius Jean

Abstract

The imprinting disorder, Prader-Willi syndrome, is a condition associated with the gene region 15q11.2-q.13. The phenotype includes multiple characteristics, most of which are endocrine-related. An accurate diagnosis is done mostly through pre- or postnatal genetic testing. Management is mainly aimed at correcting the endocrine dysfunctions present in these patients. Genetic testing is also important to distinguish between the different causes and to calculate the recurrence risk for parents with affected children. Although a lot has been discovered and this syndrome can be managed to a satisfactory degree, further research is still important especially regarding new potential treatments with greater efficiency and reduced invasiveness. The neonatal nurse has an important role because the management requires thorough monitoring as well as high compliance from both the patient and the carers. Thus, it is essential for the neonatal nurse to have a good knowledge of this condition.
Broadening Rehabilitation Education and Research Through Cultural Humility: A Conceptual Framework for Rehabilitation Counseling
Authors: Hampton Nan Zhang , Guillermo Mari S. , Tucker Mark , Nichols Tayler
Published: May 2017

Purpose:The purpose of this conceptual article is to present a framework that incorporates the concept of culture humility into effective rehabilitation services.

Method:Based on a comprehensive literature review and theoretical integration, this article provides the reader with the basic concept of cultural humility, similarities and differences between cultural humility and cultural competence, and significance of the cultural humility concept to rehabilitation counseling.

Results:The literature consistently describes the need for professionals to be culturally competent to effectively serve an increasingly diverse population. However, when using only a multicultural competency framework, counselors may have false beliefs about their competence in working with culturally diverse individuals, understate the power imbalance between service providers and clients, and ignore institutional (e.g., system, homophobia, racism) accountability. Cultural humility can directly address these issues and serve as a complement to cultural competence in rehabilitation counseling services given its emphasis on reflectivity, power differentials between counselors and clients, and institutional accountability.

Conclusion:Cultural humility can be applied to rehabilitation research, education, and practice. We need to broaden multicultural rehabilitation counseling through a cultural humility approach.
Talent Management Implementation at an Open Distance E-Learning Higher Educational Institution: The Views of Senior Line Managers
Authors: Erasmus Barney , Naidoo Lynette , Joubert Pierre
Published: May 2017

The war for talent remains a challenge that many organisations face but more so for distance education institutions to deliver on its mandate to provide effective online academic offerings. The question that remains is: How can intellectual capital be managed effectively in order to recruit and retain talent that is necessary for success?  This study was conducted at a mega open and distance learning institution, and this institution has identified talent management as one of the key strategic initiatives to ensure institutional strategic goal attainment and adopted an inclusive/developable talent approach as its framework. The aim of this article is to report on the perceptions of senior line managers regarding their experience with implementing the talent management strategy in their operational areas at the institution. This study adopted a qualitative approach and purposive sampling was used to select interviewees. The population group included chairpersons of 26 talent committees who are senior line managers and 11 of them were interviewed. Participants were of the opinion that policies and strategies do not always support the implementation of talent management in their respective environments. The findings show that although the university embraces the inclusive/developable talent approach in its strategy, the impact thereof is inhibited by a lack of methodological implementation, a lack of integration of supporting Human Resources policies with talent management, and insular line manager discernment.
A Contribuição do Caráter “Transversal” do Software para a Política de Inovação
Authors: Freire Emerson , Brisolla Sandra de Negraes
Published: May 2017

Não resta dúvida de que uma das grandes dificuldades do processo inovativo das empresas brasileiras de software está, pelo menos por enquanto, na pouca capacidade de articulação de umas com as outras, bem como com os centros de pesquisa e desenvolvimento tecnológico, e com os diversos setores para os quais teria a possibilidade de realizar seus projetos informacionais. Trata-se aqui de ilustrar a atuação de um segmento dessa indústria no setor da construção, historicamente avesso à inovação, comprovando que as TIs (Tecnologias da Informação) difundem-se mesmo através de setores tradicionais, servindo não só como suporte administrativo mas, também, como ferramentas estratégias nas empresas. Mais ainda e, principalmente, o estudo pretende exemplificar que características típicas do software são válidas inclusive para setores tradicionais e com processos praticamente “artesanais”, e que influenciam na competitividade do setor tanto nacional como internacionalmente. Entre essas características do setor de software destaca-se seu caráter transversal e sua importância na política de inovação junto aos outros setores da economia.
Apresentação: George B. Richardson - The Organization of Industry
Authors: Cário Silvio Antonio Ferraz
Published: May 2017

O artigo de George B. Richardson1 de 1972 tornou-se uma referência clássica na área de estudos sobre Organização Industrial pela demonstração de que, dentro do princípio da divisão de trabalho entre firmas e mercado, não se esclarece a existência de cooperação interfirmas. Na visão tradicional, as firmas são consideradas como espaços de fabricação de produtos e as forças de mercado determinam o quanto cada produto é fabricado e demandado. Em contraposição, observa que as firmas não agem isoladamente e suas relações estão ligadas a padrões de cooperação que se estabelecem no ambiente econômico.

Lições do trabalho associado: educação, experiência e memória coletiva
Authors: Tiriba Lia , Magalhães Lívia Diana Rocha
Published: May 2017

Concentramo-nos na análise do trabalho associado, tomando como referência as contribuições de Edward Palmer Thompson sobre história e experiência de classe, bem como o conceito de memória coletiva de Maurice Halbwachs. Confrontando com as formas capitalistas de organização do trabalho, analisamos as dimensões técnico-produtivo e ético-políticas das relações entre trabalho e educação em experiências vividas por trabalhadores fabris durante a Guerra Civil Espanhola (1936-1939) e no Processo Revolucionário em Curso - PREC (Portugal, 1974-1975). Revisitamos essas experiências coletivas, considerando a memória transmitida e transformada no processo de instauração e de consolidação desses espaços/tempos históricos do trabalho de produzir a vida associativamente.
