The hotel industry is one of the most booming industry contributing tremendous growth in the global economy. It has never got affected by any kind of recession or economic turmoil, and this happens because of the fact that individuals/ families would need services of hotel industry for various reasons of human activities like business, recreation, pilgrimage educational tour, historical tours, festivals, carnivals, medical assistance trip etc. and so on. The biggest apprehension about this industry is attrition/turnover rate of employees; and to trounce this matter, selection of the right candidate at the right profile for the right post is the way to success. Selection criteria include all the essential and desirable skills, attributes, experience, and education which an organization decides is necessary for a position. Selection criteria help to select the most capable, effective, suited, experienced, qualified, the person for the job.

For selecting the right candidate, perfect for a particular job, selection has to be well planned, tactically accurate and strategically correct, as there is a huge pressure of short listing, filtering and selecting the right candidate, which makes the whole exercise lengthy as well as painstaking

A Novel Hybrid Approach for Fast Block Based Motion Estimation

The current work presents a novel hybrid approach for motion estimation of various video sequences with a purpose to speed up the entire process without affecting the accuracy. The method integrates the dynamic Zero motion pre-judgment (ZMP) technique with Initial search centers (ISC) along with half way search termination and Small diamond search pattern. Calculation of the initial search centers has been shifted after the process of zero motion pre-judgment unlike most the previous approaches so that the search centers for stationary blocks need not be identified. Proper identification of ISC dismisses the need to use any fast block matching algorithm (BMA) to find the motion vectors (MV), rather a fixed search pattern such as small diamond search pattern is sufficient to use. Half way search termination has also been incorporated into the algorithm which helps in deciding whether the predicted ISC is the actual MV or not which further reduced the number of computations. Simulation results of the complete hybrid approach have been compared to other standard methods in the field. The method presented in the manuscript ensures better video quality with fewer computations

Why sugar-free products on the menu? a chef’s perspective

Food was a vital element of living. So many researchers have exposed associations between chronic diseases and food patterns. A food pattern rich in fruits, vegetables, and whole grain is beneficial to health, while a food high in sugar and fat was associated with increased risk of chronic diseases. Healthy catering was not just about taking off chips and cooked breakfasts from the menu. Nowadays many people prefer healthy foods but they must be made tasty and appealing. This is the main challenge of today’s hoteliers. An important commercial opportunity exists - providing guests with healthier choices that look and taste good. It was important for the hospitality industry to grasp this market opportunity by offering healthier choices in terms of sugar-free recipes, which customers increasingly want to buy. This study was about the reasons if any which motivate chefs of the 5-star hotels of New Delhi to develop recipes which are sugar-free. The methodology chosen for this study was survey based, conducted among the executive chefs of five-star hotels in New Delhi

Navigating the complexity of osmotic demyelination syndrome in the elderly: insight from three cases

Osmotic demyelination syndrome (ODS) results from rapid shifts in serum osmolality and can be triggered by various factors such as hyponatremia, hyperglycaemia, malnutrition, alcohol abuse, and liver disease. Although hyponatremia prevalence increases with age, ODS typically manifests between ages 30 to 50, indicating a complex age-susceptibility relationship. Its pathophysiology involves brain volume restoration adaptation, with rapid correction of osmolality leading to dehydration and subsequent demyelination. Hyperglycaemia-induced ODS results from rapid correction of hyperosmolar states, overwhelming neuronal compensatory mechanisms. Neuroimaging, usually MRI, is crucial for diagnosis, revealing hyperintense lesions. Clinical manifestations vary widely, from dysarthria and dysphagia to spastic quadriparesis, with poor outcomes, especially in older patients. Below, three cases of ODS in elderly patients are presented, each with distinct clinical presentations and outcomes. Case1 highlights the association between rapid correction of hyperglycaemia and ODS while Case 2 and 3 illustrates the consequences of overly rapid correction of hyponatremia. Diagnosing Osmotic Demyelination Syndrome (ODS) in the elderly poses challenges due to overlapping clinical features with conditions like encephalopathy, delirium, and postictal confusional states, which closely mimic ODS. Further research is needed to better understand the pathophysiology and optimize management approaches, especially in vulnerable populations like the elderly
