An Innovative Approach for Online Food Order Management System

Restaurants are one of the favorite premises. An online food ordering is a integrated process in fast food Restaurants to offer choice of food from menu, cooked and served or packaged hot to satisfy customer to immediately make orders on their ownselves. Customers can also call the restaurant to pack in advance or to deliver the food item but sometimes restaurants run out of certain items. The existing system lacks the feature to use Remote GPS tracker such that restaurant managers are auto updated about the location of the customer before reaching the restaurant. We propose a complete system to easily manage online menu where items update as per the availability of food and prices. The Customer views the products, register and place the order. The system administrator adds and manages user accounts and the Manager manages product and orders. The Kitchen meal deliverable deals with pending deliveries .The proposed system is developed using Android platform which is open source software and built in data connection modules. It also decreases labour rates to replace mobile phones to book order and table unlike employees who come to take order and payments .In advent of food consumption problems like obesity, overeating etc. ,he proposed system will show food items with nutrition based searches showing ingredients of the food items

Tocolytic effect of combined sildenafil citrate and nifedepine versus nifedipine alone for management of preterm labour at a tertiary centre

Background: This study was conducted to evaluate tocolytic effect of sildenafil citrate and nifedipine versus nifedipine alone for management of preterm labour.Methods: Prospective randomized study on 80 women aged 18-35 years with singleton pregnancy of 28-34 weeks gestation with preterm labour, fulfilling the inclusion criteria were randomly divided in two groups of 40 each. In regimen A women were given sildenafil citrate and nifedipine while in regimen B nifedipine alone for 72 hours as tocolysis.Results: Higher mean latency in sildenafil and nifedipine combination regimen compared to nifedipine alone regimen (28.23±18.3 versus 12.98±13.35 days, p<0.001). In regimen A, less days of hospital stay (3.23±0.92 versus 3.9±0.38 days, p<0.0001); improve perinatal outcomes in form of fewer deliveries during hospitalization or within 7 days after discharge (p=0.018); reduction in NICU admission (0.68±1.54 versus 3.18±4.61 days, p=0.002); improvement in birth weight (p<0.001) and fewer neonatal complications. Only minor side-effects like facial flushing (42.5% versus 22.5%, p=0.029), headache (40% versus 25%), dyspepsia (15% versus 2.5%, p=0.047), nasal congestion, palpitation, hypotension, constipation, nausea, dizziness were seen.Conclusions: Our study found combination of sildenafil citrate with nifedipine as superior and successful regimen with future potential as a tocolytic therapy.

Individual and Group Level Antecedents of Team-Member Exchange (TMX) and its Associated Outcomes

In recent years, teams have become a popular and efficient way of managing and performing work tasks. The idea behind teams is that if they are structured to maximize communication density, connectivity, and minimize hierarchy, there will be greater flexibility in communicating, cooperating, and collaborating on work-related tasks. Human resources  are growing concern for today’s competitive organizations. Therefore it is very essential to focus on this issue seriously. In this review paper, we have integrated empirical research regarding the antecedents and consequences of Team-Member Exchange (TMX). An exchange relationship between team members is very critical but relatively unexplored phenomenon in the field of organizational behaviour. We have proposed a theoretical model to study certain selected antecedents (or predictor) and consequences of team-member exchange (TMX) process, both at the individual and group level. The individual level antecedents included in this paper are organizational justice, emotional intelligence, workplace friendship and group level antecedents are collectivistic orientation, team similarity, team identification, team-member affect, team reflexivity and group potency. Likewise, individual level outcomes associated with high quality team-member exchange are organizational citizenship behaviour, job performance, mental health and group level outcomes associated with high quality team-member exchange are team conflict, team climate, team commitment, team performance and team innovativeness. Further, several preliminary propositions have been offered to guide future research and the role of team-member exchange (TMX) within a broad theoretical and empirical context is discussed.Finally, we have discussed the gaps in the relevant literature, major issues for future research on team-member exchange (TMX) along with implications and interventions about how management can develop good interrelationships between co-workers.

Measuring information latency

Many companies have recently digitized a substantial number of their business processes. It is often the case that some companies store their data on a digital medium and that this data is can be captured and stored in real-time or in a batch process. Measuring the time it takes a system to traverse and process information is of the utmost importance to internal and external stakeholders of the organization. However, it is often difficult for companies to identify information flow and process bottlenecks. In this paper we develop an approach for evaluating the level of companies¿ digitization. We formalize and provide an illustrative example for a model that can facilitate the measurement of information flow latency within organizations and discuss the benefits associated with the model. The proposed latency measure is unique in that it facilitates the measurement of information flow and process latency. The measure is a very important in that it can assist management in improving the most critical business processes in their company. Moreover, an assurance service can be developed in order to increase the trust in the digitization level of business partners. Using the proposed latency measurement model a future assurance service can provide supply chain partners the confidence that their business partners can meet delivery and production schedules accurately and on a timely basis.Muchas empresas han digitalizado recientemente un sustancial número de sus procesos de negocios. Es a menudo el caso de que algunas compañías almacenan su información sobre un medio digital y que esta información puede ser obtenida y almacenada en tiempo real o en un proceso en lotes. Midiendo el tiempo que tarda un sistema para cruzar y procesar información es de suma importancia a inversores internos y externos de la organización. Sin embargo, es a menudo difícil para las empresas identificar flujos de información y los obstáculos del proceso. En este trabajo, desarrollamos una estrategia para evaluar el nivel de digitalización de las empresas. Formalizamos y aportamos un ejemplo ilustrativo para un modelo, que pueda facilitar la medida de la latencia del flujo de la información dentro de las organizaciones, y debatimos los beneficios asociados con dicho modelo. La medida de la latencia propuesta es única en la medida en la que facilita las medidas del flujo de información, y la latencia del proceso. La medida es una muy importante, en el hecho de que ayuda a la dirección a mejorar los procesos comerciales más críticos en su compañía. Además, un servicio de garantía puede ser desarrollado para aumentar la confianza en el nivel de digitalización de los socios comerciales. Usando el modelo de medida de latencia sugerido, un futuro servicio de garantía puede aportar a los socios de la cadena de suministro la confianza que sus socios de negocios puedan cumplir exactamente, y a tiempo con los planes de entrega, y producción

Knowledge about hypertension was poor, average and good among19.7% (n=29), 76.8% (n=113) and 3.4% (n=5) students, respectively. Mean systolic blood pressure (mean SBP) was 127.07 ± 10.109 mm of Hg with a range 110 to 154mm of Hg, and mean diastolic blood pressure (mean DBP) was 80.5 ± 6.587 mm Hg with a range 68 to 94 mm of Hg. Conclusions: Smoking, alcoholism, non-vegetarian diet, body weight over 60 kgs and waist-hip ratio over 0.9 were recognized as risk factors of hypertension. Hence it needs a powerful surveillance program to find the exact problem

Wavelet analysis of the seismograms for tsunami warning

The complexity in the tsunami phenomenon makes the available warning systems not much effective in the practical situations. The problem arises due to the time lapsed in the data transfer, processing and modeling. The modeling and simulation needs the input fault geometry and mechanism of the earthquake. The estimation of these parameters and other aprior information increases the utilized time for making any warning. Here, the wavelet analysis is used to identify the tsunamigenesis of an earthquake. The frequency content of the seismogram in time scale domain is examined using wavelet transform. The energy content in high frequencies is calculated and gives a threshold for tsunami warnings. Only first few minutes of the seismograms of the earthquake events are used for quick estimation. The results for the earthquake events of Andaman Sumatra region and other historic events are promising

Network Loop Oscillations with EIS/Hinode

We analyze a time sequence of He II 256.32 angstrom images obtained with EIS/Hinode, sampling a small magnetic loop in magnetic network. Wavelet analysis indicates 11-min periodicity close to the loop apex. We interprete this oscillation as forcing through upward leakage by the fundamental acoustic eigenmode of the underlying field-free cavity. The observed loop length corresponds to the value predicted from this mechanism.Comment: 3 pages, 3 figures; To appear in "Magnetic Coupling between the Interior and the Atmosphere of the Sun", eds.
