Expectation of Potential Management Education Aspirants towards Management Education Institutions
Today’s market demands are good and active managers for the development of country. Managers should know all the facts, logic and strategies. For this they should get education from good institutions. Today in India we have large numbers of management institutions but they are not producing the Managers who can meet the global competition. Low quality of education in higher levels is increasingly becoming a cause of concern. Though lots has been written about the factors required to increase the quality of our business management institutions, much research has not been done into the other aspects of business schools such as related to the course content, teaching learning process and the basic methodologies of lecture delivery and understanding of the student’s needs and physical infrastructure. In particular by improving the quality in higher education, Indian business management schools may make themselves competitive in the long run. In this paper researcher has tried to study the mindset of current management education aspirants. The samples of 100 students were obtained; Frequency analysis and percentage analysis methods are used for the analysis of data. This paper concludes with the result - Management institutes must try to develop their quality as good as premier institutes in India.

On preservation of set stability under input delays for nonlinear systems with disturbances
The study demonstrates the preservation of set-input-to-state stability under
a small input time delay for compact, invariant sets that contain the origin. A
Razumikhin type theorem that ensures input-to-state stability (ISS) for sets in
functional differential equations (FDEs) with disturbances is proved using the
nonlinear small-gain theory. These results are essential in fulfilling the
study's goal. In comparison to the existing research on set-ISS robustness with
respect to small time delays at the input, the results obtained are rather
broad, retaining the ISS gain and without any constraints on time delayed
states. Illustrative examples are used to show the advantages of the result.Comment: 10 page
Factor V Leiden mutation and acquired activated protein C resistance in Indian women with recurrent fetal loss
Objectives: To study the prevalence and association of factor V Leiden (FVL) mutation and acquired APC resistance (APCR) in women with recurrent fetal loss (RFL).Patients and Methods: Fifty women with two or more RFLs and 50 age‑matched controls with no history of fetal loss and at least one live birth were included in the study. Complete blood counts and screening tests for coagulation (PT, APTT), APCR, and FVL (PCR) were done in all women.Results: Age of the patients ranged from 20–42 years with a mean ± SD of 27.4 ± 4.8 years. Prolonged PT and APTT were observed in 2% and 8% cases, respectively. None of the controls had prolonged PT/APTT. APCR was observed in 8% cases and 2% controls. The prevalence of APCR was higher in women with first‑trimester fetal loss (24.2%) as compared to women with the second trimester (13.3%) fetal loss. FVL was not observed in any of the cases or controls.Conclusion: This study indicates that FVL mutation is not associated with RFL in the Indian population while APCR is observed in Indian women with RFL.
Key words: Activated protein C resistance; factor V Leiden; recurrent fetal loss; thrombophilia
Generalized -Type I Univex Functions in Multiobjective Optimization
A new class of generalized functions (---)-type I univex is introduced for a nonsmooth multiobjective programming problem. Based upon these generalized functions, sufficient optimality conditions are established. Weak, strong, converse, and strict converse duality theorems are also derived for Mond-Weir-type multiobjective dual program
Neglected obstetric haemorrhage leading to acute kidney injury
Pregnancy related acute kidney injury takes substantial share of acute kidney injury (AKI) in India, with obstetrical haemorrhage having high morbidity and mortality. A young female had neglected obstetric haemorrhage (unrecognized intrauterine and massive intraperitoneal bleeding post caesarean, due to uterine trauma and atony) and dangerous intra-abdominal hypertension with exsanguination eventually leading to shock, multifactorial AKI, metabolic acidosis, and hyperkalemia. Intensive and aggressive management with subtotal hysterectomy, inotropes, fluid management, mechanical ventilation, tracheostomy, and hemodialysis changed the outcome. Despite odds against, neglected obstetric haemorrhage with complicated AKI, was managed successfully by emergency hysterectomy, aggressive intervention for AKI with intensive fluid, ventilatory management and daily hemodialysis. Timely identification and aggressive management of this condition and complications is pivotal in preventing complications, morbidity, and maternal mortality.
“EFFECT OF BODY MASS INDEX ON PREGNANCY OUTCOME” - A PROSPECTIVE STUDY
Background: Mothers who are overweight or obese during pregnancy and childbirth, are known to be at risk of significant antenatal, intrapartum, postpartum, and neonatal complications.
Objectives: The objective of the study was to evaluate the impact of high pre pregnancy body mass index (BMI) (<12 weeks of gestation) on the occurrence of maternal pregnancy outcome. A longitudinal observational study was carried out in a tertiary care hospital. In Group I, 50 antenatal women with gestational age <12 weeks BMI 18.5–35 kg/m2 and having singleton pregnancies were included in the study, while 50 women with normal BMI formed the Group II. Both groups were followed up throughout pregnancy and post-natal to assess complication during pregnancy, labor, and puerperium.
Results: The mean BMI in Group I and Group II was 27.516 kg/m2 and 21.433 kg/m2. The prevalence of anemia was 40% and 26% among two groups. Antenatal and post-natal complications were gestational diabetes mellitus (Group I - 28% and Group II - 6%), preeclampsia (Group I - 16% and Group II - 2%), required induction of labor (Group I - 26% and Group II - 6%), preterm labor (Group I - 4% and Group II - 16%), and meconium staining of liquor (GroupI-20% and GroupII-12%), and the difference was statistically significant among two groups. Newborn complications were weight ≥2.5 kg (Group I - 74% and Group II - 48%), neonatal intensive care unit admission requirement (Group I - 26% and Group II - 17%), and the difference was statistically significant among two groups. Other complications which were not statistically significant among two groups were oligohydramnios (Group I - 2% and Group II - 4%), polyhydramnios (Group I - 6% and Group II - 4%), and appearance, pulse, grimace, activity, and respiration score at 1 min <7 (Group I - 14% and Group II - 6%).
Conclusion: Pregnancy complications related to maternal BMI is a growing problem. Both lean and obese mothers carry an increased risk of adverse perinatal outcome. Given the major economic and medical consequence of pregnancy in these women, all attempts should be made to maintain a normal BMI in women of childbearing age. Pre-pregnancy counseling, health programs and appropriate multidisciplinary management should be done
Rubinstein-Taybi syndrome: a rare case report of a female child emphasizing physiotherapy on gross motor function
Rubinstein-Taybi syndrome (RSTS) is a chromosomal segment 16p13.3 microdeletion syndrome and is characterized by CREBBP gene mutations, delay in the development of height and weight, distinctive facial features, broad and sometimes angulated thumbs and halluces, short stature, and intellectual impairment that is mild to extreme. Current literature emphasizes mainly medical, dental, and psychiatric issues in RSTS and there is no retrievable literature on physiotherapy and its role in improving motor function in RSTS. The present case report is of a baby girl of 17 months suspected case of RSTS, presented with all the features of RSTS. Delay in the acquisition of skills and development were the chief complaints. We designed a 12-week treatment regimen that concentrated mainly on transitions using principles of neurodevelopmental therapy. Gross motor function measure (GMFM 88) was taken pre- and post-treatment which showed tremendous improvement. This is the first study on the role of physiotherapy in RSTS
