How to Handle Criticism?

Compared to all other nations Constitution of India guarantees to all its citizens the right to freedom of speech and expression. People's everyday lives are shaped through language and communication. They choose what to do with their time based on opinions and ideals formed through the discourse they are exposed to and Criticism is an inevitable part of the environment that surrounds us. Criticism is painful and praise feels good for both men and women. What other people think affects women more dramatically though. Women are relationship oriented. When people don’t like what they are up to, it can feel like disharmony or a break in their relationships, which they deeply value. Women pick up more information about what others think. A host of studies show women are more adept at reading facial expressions and body language than men. For most of history, women couldn’t protect themselves through legal, political, or financial means. Research shows that when women get negative feedback, it tends to be more personal than the feedback men get. It can also be more angry and even violent or vulgar, especially in our internet age

ACO-GA based routing algorithm for MANET

MANET is made up of a collection of mobile wireless nodes, each node act as router as there is no central coordinator present in this network to ensure in network routing.In MANETmultiple paths are available for data transmission, but itis required to choosemost efficient path between multiple pathsby providing better Quality of Service(QoS).Routing in MANET network is a challenging task, because the topology of the network is frequently changes. This issue is addressed in this paper.Here we introduce new routing mechanism by using ACO and GA approach to satisfy quality matrix.By using ant algorithm to explore the network using intelligent ANT packets based on pheromone concentration. Multiple paths are generated by ant algorithm and best path is chosen for data transmission, if link failure is occurs while data transmission then genetic algorithm is used for handling link failure by selecting another backup path based on fitness valu

Dynamic Load Balancing Algorithms For Cloud Computing

In cloud computing, the load balancing is one of the major requirment. Load is nothing but the of the amount of work that a system performs. Load can be classified as CPU load, memory size and network load. Load balancing is the process of dividing the task among various nodes of a distributed system to improve both resource utilization and job response time. Also avoiding a situation where some of the nodes are heavily loaded and others are idle. Load balancing ensures that every node in the network having equal amount of work (as per their capacity) at any instant of time. In This paper we survey the existing load balancing algorithms for a cloud based environment. DOI: 10.17762/ijritcc2321-8169.150612

DIALYSIS PRACTICE PATTERN IN PATIENTS UNDERGOING HEMODIALYSIS IN A TERTIARY AND A PRIVATE HOSPITAL

Objective: To evaluate the dialysis practice pattern in chronic kidney disease patients undergoing hemodialysis in a tertiary and a private hospital Methods: A prospective observational study of six months duration was carried out in 158 CKD patients on hemodialysis for a minimum period of one month. Data such as socio-demographic, clinical characteristics and dialysis practice details were captured from the patient’s medical records into the pre-designed Patient Proforma. The collected data were analysed. Results: Majority of respondents were male (67.09%), more than 60 y of age (32.28 %), married (89.24%). Hypertension (26.51%, 17.33%) was found to be the leading cause of CKD in a tertiary and private hospital. In the tertiary hospital, 78.31% of patients were undergoing twice-weekly hemodialysis, whereas in the private hospital thrice weekly (50.67%) hemodialysis was common. About 51.81% of patients in the tertiary and 58.67% in the private hospital was undergoing hemodialysis for 1-5 y with Arterio-Venous Fistula (59.04%, 94.67%) as the permanent vascular access (P<0.001). Conclusion: This study shows that hypertension was the leading cause of CKD in both hospitals. In the tertiary hospital twice weekly hemodialysis with arteriovenous fistula (AVF) and Permanent Catheter (IJV), were both preferred as the permanent vascular access. Whereas in the private hospital majority were undergoing thrice weekly hemodialysis and AVF was highly preferred

Assessment of socio-economic impact of mud bank fisheries along Punnapra, Kerala

Mud banks are unique formations which are characteristic to the south west coast of India and it commensurates with the fishing holidays or closed season in fisheries. The fishermen who are devoid of fishing activities during the monsoon ban period gets to huge amount of shoals finds this as an opportunity to gain the sole income. The fishing operations in the mudbank area are done at a lower depth, and hence the fishing costs tend to remain significantly low leading to huge profitability and increased returns. A cost benefit study related to mudbank fisheries was conducted in Punnapra of Alappuzha district, Kerala during 2014 and 2015 among non-motorized, motorized and mechanised sector. In spite of a slight increase in the fisheries landings during 2015 compared to 2014 it did not reflect in the income gained by the fishermen. The difference in income was mainly due to the changes in fish composition during these periods. Many fisheries operations face economic difficulties as a result of high fuel prices and low income

Outcome of a workshop

International audience; In tackling agricultural challenges, policy-makers in sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) have increasingly considered genetically modified (GM) crops as a potential tool to increase productivity and to improve product quality. Yet, as elsewhere in the world, the adoption of GM crops in SSA has been marked by controversy, encompassing not only the potential risks to animal and human health, and to the environment, but also other concerns such as ethical issues, public participation in decision-making, socio-economic factors and intellectual property rights. With these non-scientific factors complicating an already controversial situation, disseminating credible information to the public as well as facilitating stakeholder input into decision-making is essential. In SSA, there are various and innovative risk communication approaches and strategies being developed, yet a comprehensive analysis of such data is missing. This gap is addressed by giving an overview of current strategies, identifying similarities and differences between various country and institutional approaches and promoting a way forward, building on a recent workshop with risk communicators working in SSA

Rapid determination of sulfonamides in millk using micellar electrokinetic chromatography with fluorescence detection.

A new method was developed for the determination of sulfonamides in milk by using micellar electrokinetic chromatography coupled with fluorescence detection. Separation of fluorescamine-derivatized sulfonamides was accomplished by using a buffer 13.32 mM disodium hydrogen phosphate, 6.67 mM potassium dihydrogen phosphate and 40 mM sodium dodecyl sulphate at pH 7.5 in addition to positive power supply at 21 kV at 25 °C. Detection was performed using UG-11 excitation filter and 495 nm emission filters. The proposed capillary electrophoresis method allows the separation of five sulfonamides within 7 min with a limit of detection of 1.59–7.68 nmol/L for all the sulfonamides considered for present study. A simple sample preparation method with fairly good recoveries 85–114% is also presented in current paper. Inter-day and intra-day validation of the separation method shows fairly good results. Robustness of the method has also been studied
