HR Analytics: Concept, Application, and Impact on Talent Management, Branding, and Challenges
Purpose: Making wiser decisions about employees to improve performance at the individual and/or organizational levels is the process of HR analytics. HR analytics is a method for determining the correlation between HR practices and organizational performance outcomes such as sales volume or customer satisfaction. Human Resource Analytics was established in 1978 by Jac Fitz-Enz, the pioneer of human capital strategic analysis and performance benchmarking. In this paper, the researcher wants to discuss the concept of HR analytics, its application, impact on talent management, branding, and challenges in its application.Design/methodology/approach: The researcher examines secondary data and conducts a thorough literature review to understand the concept and its application across industries and nations, as well as to identify any challenges encountered during deployment and any benefits perceived by various industry professionals. Findings: The study's findings indicate that using HR analytics can help businesses build their brand and gain a competitive edge in today's fiercely competitive business environment while also enhancing workforce and employee productivity.Originality/value: This study has significant implications for both literature and HR analytics. Researchers will know more about the factors that contribute to and the mechanisms by which HR analytics improve organisational performance. The author's second claim is that having access to HR technology both facilitates and precedes HR analytics. Finally, concrete data from the literature demonstrates its influence on branding and organisational success. Keywords: Human resource (HR) analytics, People analytics, Branding, Talent Management, Organizational performance.

Short-course chemotherapy for tuberculosis of the spine : A comparison between ambulant treatment and radical surgery - a ten year report.
We perfomed a randomised, controlled clinical trial to compare ambulant short-course
chemotherapy with anterior spinal fusion plus
short-course chemotherapy for spinal tuberculosis
without paraplegia. Patients with active disease of
vertebral bodies were randomly allocated to one of
three regimens: a) radical anterior resection with bone
grafting plus six months of daily isoniazid plus
rifampicin (Rad6); b) ambulant chemotherapy for six
months with daily isoniazid plus rifampicin (Amb6);
or c) similar to b) but with chemotherapy for nine
months (Amb9).
Ten years from the onset of treatment, 90% of 78
Rad6, 94% of 78 Amb6 and 99% of 79 Amb9 patients
had a favourable status.
Ambulant chemotherapy for a period of six months
with daily isoniazid plus rifampicin (Amb6) was an
effective treatment for spinal tuberculosis except in
patients aged less than 15 years with an initial angle
of kyphosis of more than 30° whose kyphosis
increased substantially
DataLev: Mid-air Data Physicalisation Using Acoustic Levitation
Data physicalisation is a technique that encodes data through the
geometric and material properties of an artefact, allowing users
to engage with data in a more immersive and multi-sensory way.
However, current methods of data physicalisation are limited in
terms of their reconfgurability and the types of materials that can
be used. Acoustophoresis—a method of suspending and manipulating materials using sound waves—ofers a promising solution
to these challenges. In this paper, we present DataLev, a design
space and platform for creating reconfgurable, multimodal data
physicalisations with enriched materiality using acoustophoresis.
We demonstrate the capabilities of DataLev through eight examples and evaluate its performance in terms of reconfgurability and
materiality. Our work ofers a new approach to data physicalisation, enabling designers to create more dynamic, engaging, and
expressive artefacts
Global Analysis of Gene Expression Profiles in Developing Physic Nut (Jatropha curcas L.) Seeds
Background: Physic nut (Jatropha curcas L.) is an oilseed plant species with high potential utility as a biofuel. Furthermore, following recent sequencing of its genome and the availability of expressed sequence tag (EST) libraries, it is a valuable model plant for studying carbon assimilation in endosperms of oilseed plants. There have been several transcriptomic analyses of developing physic nut seeds using ESTs, but they have provided limited information on the accumulation of stored resources in the seeds. Methodology/Principal Findings: We applied next-generation Illumina sequencing technology to analyze global gen
Late onset paraplegia—a sequela to Pott’s disease. A report on imaging, prevention and management
Late onset paraplegia is a neurological complication that
develops after a variable period in a patient with healed
tuberculous disease of the vertebrae. In this retrospective
analysis clinical features, imaging in diagnosis and treatment
of this condition are described among 5 cases seen
over a period of 5 years. This complication occurred
even after successful treatment of initial spinal lesions
with rifampicin-containing regimens. Magnetic resonance
imaging was useful in pinpointing the exact pathology;
one case had syrinx and two cases had marked
internal gibbus with cord atrophy. Of the two cases who
accepted surgical treatment, one improved
Solution Processed NiO/MoS<sub>2</sub> Heterostructure Nanocomposite for Supercapacitor Electrode Application
Metal oxide and metal dichalcogenide heterostructure composites are promising candidates for electrochemical use. In this study, a hybrid heterostructure composite electrode material was made using a straightforward hydrothermal process using transition metal oxide (NiO) and metal dichalcogenide (MoS2). The surface of the flower-like structured MoS2 was grown with granular structured NiO, and this heterostructure composite exhibited considerably improved specific capacitance when compared to the pure NiO and MoS2 materials. The pseudocapacitive performance was effectively supported by the heterostructure combination of transition metal oxide (TMOs) and metal dichalcogenide (MDC), which greatly improved ion transport within the material and storage. At a current density of 1 A/g, the prepared heterostructure composite electrode material exhibited a specific capacitance of 289 F/g, and, after 2000 cycles, the capacitance retained 101% of its initial value. The symmetric device was constructed and put through tests using LED light. This finding opens up a new avenue for the quickly increasing the field of heterostructure materials
One-pot synthesis of functionalized isoxazole-thiolane hybrids via Knoevenagel condensation and domino sulfa-1,6-Michael/intramolecular vinylogous Henry reactions
One-pot synthesis of highly functionalized tetrahydrothiophene (thiolane) derivatives conjugated with biologically useful isooxazole are reported via the Knoevenagel condensation followed by domino sulfa-1,6-Michael/intramolecular vinylogous Henry reactions of aldehydes, 1,4-dithiane-2,5-diol and 3,5-dimethyl-4-nitroisoxazole. From the base and solvent screening, it was found that piperidine (30 mol%) and ethanol are the most suitable conditions giving the desired products with >95% yields in 2-2.5 h overall reaction time.by Sakkani Nagaraju, Neeli Satyanarayana, Banoth Paplal, Anuji K.
