Suitability Screening Test for Air Traffic Controllers

Military Aviation is an inherently stressful occupation and it demands a high level of physical endurance and mental stamina The personnel selection for safety-sensitive jobs such as air traffic controllers is a crucial task Choosing the wrong person for this job can have visibly disastrous results The objective of this study is to develop and validate a non cognitive test for selection of the air traffic controllers A Personality Based Job Analysis was conducted on 87Air Traffic Controllers representing different seniority and ranks which revealed high ratings for Adjustment Prudence Ambition leadership and openness to experience On the basis of job analysis 200 non cognitive items were developed The initial 200 items were subjected to 10 Subject Matter Experts SME which resulted in 100 items and was administered to 902 military aspirant candidates Item Analysis and Factor Analysis resulted in the 20 items with four extracted factors namely Social Potency Prudence Sensitivity and Extraversion The final non cognitive test displayed good internal consistency and validity Convergent and discriminant validity of the measure was established through comparison with other personality measures The psychometric property of the non cognitive test indicates that it is a reliable and valid measure to be used for an evaluation of Job specific personality for the selection of Air Traffic Controller

UUBE for Secure Sharing of Personal Health Records in Cloud

Cloud based Personal Health Record (PHR) is a prominent cloud based platform for switching a person’s health information in a secure manner. They are next generation cloud platform making possible for well organized , reliable & scalable data access to foster the public care. There happen numerous security issues when records of the data owners are reevaluated through the outsider cloud suppliers. The health records which are kept secret should be put away and recovered through a protected source with no misfortune in the information. Nonetheless sharing and probing of the data is the bottom line, but when it is outsourced beyond doubt it is a burdensome task. It might prompt reveal the delicate data thus the records may get helpless against the technocrats. In this article, we have suggested a novel access control structure called as User Usage Based Encryption (UUBE) constructed on the searchable attribute based encryption to guarantee the data protection. Utilization is planned as credential with a time span to each private attribute. The client can decipher only if there is a match between the accreditation's related with the attributes.  Utilizing the feature extraction the accessible encryption plot empowers a predictable directing of encoded credits. Prior to starting the encryption conspire we apply the singular value decomposition algorithm to the non-utilized or less utilized credits to diminish the trait set. Moreover the information client privacy traps are handled utilizing the semantic grouping. To save the client secrecy a solid overlay protection convention is planned. We show a total security investigation with the goal that our suggested framework rules the cutting-edge approaches regarding communication and encoding cost

Evaluate the efficacy of comparative study of Aavapa Dravya Triovasti and Somavalkala Kashaya Yogabasti in Madhumeha (NIDDM)

Background: Madhumeha has become a burning issue in day today life. The term Prameha has broader connotations indicating the increased quantity and quality of urination. Where as Madhumeha, is the condition where patient passes urine like honey. Madhumeha vis-à-vis Diabetes mellitus is a group of metabolic disorder characterized by Hyperglycaemia resulting from defects in Insulin secretion or its Action. In classics the prime importance has been given to Basti among Panchakarma and even termed as Ardhachikitsa or complete Chikitsa, as it produces multi-dimensional effect. Objectives: To evaluate the efficacy of the Vasti in Trio-vasti pattern and also to evaluate the efficacy of the Avapadravya in Vasti in Madhumeha, Methodology: 30 patients were selected for the study and equally divided in three groups. Group-A: 10 patients received Somavalka Kashaya Niruha Yoga Basti. Group-B: 10 patients received Somavalka Kashaya with Aavapa Dravya Niruha Yoga Basti. Group-C: 10 patients received Somavalka Kashaya Niruha Yoga Basti in Trio-vasti pattern. Results and Conclusion: After proper administration of Somavalka Kashaya Yogabasti in all the groups the results were noted that, it gives immediate and lasting results, both symptomatically and in sugar levels. Among 30 patients, 7 patients (23.33%) showed mild response, 12 Patients (40%) showed moderate response, 11 patients (36.66%) showed marked response. In mild and moderate type of Madhumeha patients, Somavalka Kashaya given in Trio-Basti helps to control it. Along with Bastikarma, administration of Patya Aahara- Vihara and Shamanoushadis may give better effect

Phyto-pharmacognostical study of Mocharasa (exudate of Shalmali)

Shalmali (Bombax malabaricum DC.) is a very useful Ayurvedic herb. The exudates of Bombax malabarica is known as Mocharasa. It is a Reddish-brown colored extract that oozes out from the broken crevices of the trunk of the Shalmali tree. Medicinal uses of Mocharasa have been reported in many traditional system of medicine such as Ayurveda, Siddha and Unani medicine since ancient times. Acharya Charak and Asthanga Samgraha mentioned Mocharasa under Sandhaniya Mahakashaya while Acharya Sushruta mentioned Mocharasa under Priyangvadigana, which has property as Sandhaniya. In present study, all aspects about Mocharasa have been taken like name, geographical source, Macroscopic, Microscopic, Physicochemical, Phytochemical (Qualitative & Quantitative) & Chromatographic activities. The macroscopic features of the Mocharasa were observed under magnifying lens. The powder microscopy showed the presence of starch grain, calcium oxalate, and stone cells. The physicochemical properties such as foreign matter, moisture content, ph value, aqueous soluble extract, alcohol soluble extract, petroleum ether soluble extract, total ash, acid insoluble ash, water soluble ash values of stem were carried out. In phytochemical study powder of Mocharasa showed the presence of many important classes of phytoconstituents like carbohydrates, alkaloids, amino acid, protein, saponin, glycosides, phenolic compound, steroids and tannins. Estimation of carotene, total flavonoid content, steroidal content, vit C, vit D, calcium and saponin analysis were carried out for quantitative analysis

Similarity Index of Doctoral Theses Submitted to Universities in Kerala: An investigation

Plagiarism has grown to such an alarming rate that the academic community finds it difficult to spot an authentic work among the plethora of published literature. Anti-plagiarism softwares have become popular as a solution to overcome this problem. This study aims to describe various aspects of plagiarism, to assess the contribution of PhD theses in ShodhGanga by the universities in Kerala, to identify the subject wise contribution of PhD theses in various universities in Kerala during 2010-17,to find the extend of similarity of content in the PhD theses of the Universities in Kerala and to rank the universities in Kerala with respect to the similarity index. The study is based on 70 PhD theses of three Universities in Kerala viz. University of Kerala, M.G University and University of Calicut selected at random by simple random sample method from the theses available in ShodhGanga. The theses selected were tested by using Urkund, anti-plagiarism software maintained by INFLIBNET. It was found that Science subjects show least similarity index whereas Social Science subjects have the highest similarity rate. Faculty of Arts (26.6%) has a high degree of similarity followed by Humanities (26%) and lowest in Science (16%).Among the Universities University of Calicut occupied the top position with 21 % similarity index in its PhD theses followed by M.G University having 20.4% and the University of Kerala has least with 17.9% of similarity index. The paper points out the importance of user awareness programmes and training programmes on anti-plagiarism for the research guides, research scholars and library staff members

THE INFLUENCE OF TOTAL QUALITY MANAGEMENT ON STAR HOTEL PERFORMANCE

The tourism and travel industry in India is growing at a drastic pace and is having a countable contribution to the GDP. The Foreign Tourists Arrival to India has increased by 23.77% since last 5 years yet in Karnataka state there is a downtrend in Tourist Visit.
