Stress in Hospitality Sector and its impact on Employees in context of Uttarakhand

Uttarakhand is a northern Himalayan state in India with a boon of natural beauty, a place of sublime spirituality and famously known as ‘Devbhumi’, the Land of Gods. Hospitality is a rapidly expanding industry world-wide, and it is expected to remain a leading contributor to the global economy by generating desired foreign exchange reserves and simultaneously creating employment opportunities. Stress is simply a fact of nature forces from the inside or outside world affecting the individual. The individual responds to stress in ways that affect the individual as well as their environment. A productive employee is considered to be not only a good performer but also highly motivated with a positive attitude. The impact of stress on Performance, Attitude and Motivation is also discussed, it can help the employers too know their employees and empower them accordingly. We in this research study aim to understand the factors relating to satisfaction an dissatisfaction involved in the WLB conditions were they are working in. Further in this research paper we would also develop few techniques and measures which can be used by the hotel industries in future for efficient WLB management of their employees for better productivity and optimization of their human resource.

DIDACTIC ASPECTS OF THEORETICAL FUNDAMENTALS OF LEADERSHIP IN THE SOCIO-PHILOSOPHICAL SPHERE

The article considers theories of leadership, which were considered by scientists at different times and in the context of different worldviews, which allows us to conclude that the concepts of "leader" and "leadership" are closely interrelated, especially the goal, because leadership is a challenge for something important, it is a challenge with passion, it is a desire for a goal. A leader's competence is the level of maturity required to perform a specific job, the amount of knowledge and skills he uses to achieve a goal or solve problems. In addition, and this is a key point for our study, competent leadership can be learned, it is necessary to learn, and throughout life. Thus, the development of leadership practice has been significantly influenced by value theories. By focusing on the meaning of the activities of the leader and his followers, they have proved in theory and in practice that the leadership that modernity needs can only be responsible. A leader, if he wants to remain a person, must be responsible to himself, to his followers, to society and to his future. It is proved that a leader is not just a person who, on the way to his socialization, has acquired certain qualities of a leader, but has found himself in the right place and at the right time. The essence of leadership qualities can be revealed only during the performance of socially significant activities. It is under such conditions that people show activity and the person who acted as a generator of ideas and organizer of transformational activities will retain leadership functions. Also in the transition to the information society, leadership begins to be perceived as a team game, in which each participant performs extremely important and necessary work and the leader, as a team captain, is just a good performer, who got his role through the coach and circumstances, often accidental him.

Evaluation of Anticipated Performance Index of Plant Species for Green Belt Development to Mitigate Air Pollution

Anticipated Performance Index (API) is an innovative ecological approach in selecting plant species for reducing air pollution, using Air Pollution Tolerance Index (APTI) and socio-economic parameters. The present study evaluated API of 11 plant species (6 trees and 5 shrubs) for the recommendation of green belt establishment near the national highway expansion region of the Kiratpur-Nerchowk expressway. The scrutiny of the results revealed that the tolerance capacity of plant species along with their performance grade is a justified approach for selecting the most suitable plant species, which can act as sink for air pollution. API on the other hand, can also help to distinguish the sensitive plant species, which can act as bio-monitors. The results showed that among all plant species Leucaena leucocephala and Toona ciliata (API=5) qualify as ‘very good’ performers in green belt development, while Dalbergia sisso (API=4) is a ‘good’ performer. Grewia optiva and Ficus palmata were judged as ‘moderate’ performers (API=3). Whereas, all other remaining investigated trees and shrubs having lesser API values can act as bio-indicators and particularly are very less recommended for green belt establishment. Hence, on the basis of amalgamation of APTI values together with other socio-economic and biological parameters, API significantly is considered as one of the best approaches identified and recommended for long-term refinement of air quality.

Fault Tolerant Reliable Protocol (FTRP) Performance Evaluation in Wireless Sensor Networks: An Extensitive Study

Fault Tolerant Reliable Protocol (FTRP) is proposed as a novel routing protocol designed for Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs). FTRP offers fault tolerance reliability for packet exchange and support for dynamic network changes. The key concept used is the use of node logical clustering. The protocol delegates the routing ownership to the cluster heads where fault tolerance functionality is implemented. FTRP utilizes cluster head nodes along with cluster head groups to store packets in transient. In addition, FTRP utilizes broadcast, which reduces the message overhead as compared to classical flooding mechanisms. FTRP manipulates Time to Live values for the various routing messages to control message broadcast. FTRP utilizes jitter in messages transmission to reduce the effect of synchronized node states, which in turn reduces collisions. FTRP performance has been extensively through simulations against Ad-hoc On-demand Distance Vector (AODV) and Optimized Link State (OLSR) routing protocols. Packet Delivery Ratio (PDR), Aggregate Throughput and End-to-End delay (E-2-E) had been used as performance metrics. In terms of PDR and aggregate throughput, it is found that FTRP is an excellent performer in all mobility scenarios whether the network is sparse or dense. In stationary scenarios, FTRP performed well in sparse network; however, in dense network FTRP’s performance had degraded yet in an acceptable range. This degradation is attributed to synchronized nodes states. Reliably delivering a message comes to a cost, as in terms of E-2-E. results show that FTRP is considered a good performer in all mobility scenarios where the network is sparse. In sparse stationary scenario, FTRP is considered good performer, however in dense stationary scenarios FTRP’s E-2-E is not acceptable. There are times when receiving a network message is more important than other costs such as energy or delay. That makes FTRP suitable for wide range of WSNs applications, such as military applications by monitoring soldiers’ biological data and supplies while in battlefield and battle damage assessment. FTRP can also be used in health applications in addition to wide range of geo-fencing, environmental monitoring, resource monitoring, production lines monitoring, agriculture and animals tracking. FTRP should be avoided in dense stationary deployments such as, but not limited to, scenarios where high application response is critical and life endangering such as biohazards detection or within intensive care units.

Evaluation of Tomato Hybrids for Yield Attributes under Khumaltar Condition

An experiment was conducted to evaluate hybrid genotypes of tomato for fruit yield and fruit quality in Horticulture Research Division, NARC, Khumaltar, Lalitpur, Nepal during March to August, 2014 in open field condition. Eleven hybrid genotypes developed from the crosses between HRA and HRD lines, selected as good performer under late blight condition and ‘Srijana’as a local check were taken for the evaluation. Design of experiment was single factorial RCBD with three replications. Observation on traits related to plant morphology, maturity and yield component were recorded to develop, evaluate, identify and recommend high yielding hybrids of tomato. The fruit yield per hectare ranged from 80.83 t/ha (HRA 14 × HRD 7) to 45.89 ton/ha (HRA 15 × HRD 6). Fruit yields of the genotypes HRA 14 × HRD 7, HRA 13 × HRD 7, HRA 20 × HRD 1, HRA 20 × HRD 2, HRA 20 × HRD 6 and HRA 16 × HRD 1 had 80.83 ton/ha, 78.50 ton/ha, 73.75 ton/ha, 70.44 ton/ha, 68.72 ton/ha, 64.64 ton/ha were higher than the yield of ‘Srijana’ (62.33 ton/ha). Based on overall performance, genotypes HRA 14 × HRD 7, HRA 13 × HRD 7, HRA 20 × HRD 1 and HRA 20 × HRD 6 were observed as good performer than Srijana (Check) and selected as high yielder with good fruit quality.

Performance of meat purpose hybrid chicken under intensive system

A study was carried out at Livestock farm, IAAS, Chitwan, Nepal in 2011 to identify the best compatible genotypes of hybrid male parents with available breeds of female chicken for the meat production. The measureable traits were egg weight, day old chick weight, feed consumption, body weight gain, infertility, hatchability, feed conversion ratio and meat quality. Research results revealed that the Black Australorp were the best performer with respect to egg size (57.50±0.95 g.) compared with other breeds such as Sakini, New Hampshire and Lohmann Brown. The highest body weight of chicks at eight weeks age was observed in the case of F1 progenies of LIR crossed with New Hampshire (1388.33±44.57 g.). On female lines, Sakini (1211.50±48.82 g.) and Black Australorp (1404.50±48.82 g.) were found the best compatible with Cobb 500. On other hand, New Hampshire (1388.33±44.57 g.) and Lohmann Brown (1334.54±46.55 g.) were observed the best compatible with LIR while considering body weight until 8th week of age observed. The Black Australorp hen compared fairly well with comparison to other female lines in terms of growth up to eight weeks of age. Although, the F1 progenies of LIR and Cobb 500 grew faster, on the basis of FCR, the progenies of Giriraja crossed with Black Australorp (2.63) was observed good performer, which indicated that if the feed consumption could be increased, progenies of Giriraja crossed with Black Australorp will be the best compatible breeds for meat production.Journal of the Institute of Agriculture and Animal Science.Vol. 33-34, 2015, Page: 187-194

Financial Innovations Risk, Financial Distress and Firms Value: A Critical Review of Literature

Throughout history, society has always sought for ways and means of responding to life challenges and opportunities. Several scholars support the need for innovation for a firm to remain a good performer during its existence, though the level of risks associated with this kind of undertaking has not received the coveted attention. With the use of financial innovations companies can safely utilize current or go for more risky and up to date technologies that can have a drastic and positive impact on their ventures. Additionally, financial innovations have had a tremendous impact in enriching finance and enhancing the economic prosperity of many firms. However, this financial innovation may also be ruinous to the organization if it is overboard. This study thus sought to review the extant theoretical and empirical literature relating to risky financial innovations, financial distress and firm value. Specifically the study was guided by the following objectives: To review extant theoretical literature on the constructs of risky financial innovations, financial distress and firm value; to review past empirical literature on the constructs of risky financial innovations, financial distress and firm value; to identify the emerging theoretical and empirical gaps that form the basis of future research. Additionally, the study sought to propose a theoretical model to respond to the identified gaps. The study has concluded that financial innovation has positive impact on financial performance and firm value, there is direct relationship between financial innovation and financial deepening and financial innovation enhances growth of the firm.

Reach and speed of judgment propagation in the laboratory

In recent years, a large body of research has demonstrated that judgments and behaviors can propagate from person to person. Phenomena as diverse as political mobilization, health practices, altruism, and emotional states exhibit similar dynamics of social contagion. The precise mechanisms of judgment propagation are not well understood, however, because it is difficult to control for confounding factors such as homophily or dynamic network structures. We introduce an experimental design that renders possible the stringent study of judgment propagation. In this design, experimental chains of individuals can revise their initial judgment in a visual perception task after observing a predecessor’s judgment. The positioning of a very good performer at the top of a chain created a performance gap, which triggered waves of judgment propagation down the chain. We evaluated the dynamics of judgment propagation experimentally. Despite strong social influence within pairs of individuals, the reach of judgment propagation across a chain rarely exceeded a social distance of three to four degrees of separation. Furthermore, computer simulations showed that the speed of judgment propagation decayed exponentially with the social distance from the source. We show that information distortion and the overweighting of other people’s errors are two individual-level mechanisms hindering judgment propagation at the scale of the chain. Our results contribute to the understanding of social-contagion processes, and our experimental method offers numerous new opportunities to study judgment propagation in the laboratory.

Target-specific membrane potential dynamics of neocortical projection neurons during goal-directed behavior

Goal-directed behavior involves distributed neuronal circuits in the mammalian brain, including diverse regions of neocortex. However, the cellular basis of long-range cortico-cortical signaling during goal-directed behavior is poorly understood. Here, we recorded membrane potential of excitatory layer 2/3 pyramidal neurons in primary somatosensory barrel cortex (S1) projecting to either primary motor cortex (M1) or secondary somatosensory cortex (S2) during a whisker detection task, in which thirsty mice learn to lick for water reward in response to a whisker deflection. Whisker stimulation in ‘Good performer’ mice, but not ‘Naive’ mice, evoked long-lasting biphasic depolarization correlated with task performance in S2-projecting (S2-p) neurons, but not M1-projecting (M1-p) neurons. Furthermore, S2-p neurons, but not M1-p neurons, became excited during spontaneous unrewarded licking in ‘Good performer’ mice, but not in ‘Naive’ mice. Thus, a learning-induced, projection-specific signal from S1 to S2 may contribute to goal-directed sensorimotor transformation of whisker sensation into licking motor output.
