Firms face bankruptcy risk when they are unable to meet the principal and interest obligations towards the bondholders. The bankruptcy costs arising out of this risk put pressure on the firm value and also affect the stockholders. To predict the corporate bankruptcy, Altman Z Score, which is based on firms’ liquidity, profitability, earnings ability, market value and asset turnover is considered appropriate. The current study is an evaluation of relationship between corporate strategy adopted and bankruptcy risk experienced by the firms, categorized as concentrated and diversified firms. Since corporate strategy applied alters asset composition, which in turn influence their financial leverage thus allowing management understand the choice of strategy and its influence on bankruptcy risk. Hence, Altman Z score methodology is applied on select large manufacturing firms that earned more than 100 million in revenue during the financial years 2009-10 through 2015-16 categorized as concentrated and diversified firms based on Herfindahl index. Results show that concentrated firms face slightly lower bankruptcy risk than diversified firms. This may be because concentrated firms fare better than diversified firms on performance, sales and profitability. © IAEME Publication.

Imperative Role of Mass Media to Change Human-Health Related Behaviours: A Review

Ricinodendron heudelotii kernels were defatted and used as substrate to produce protein hydrolysatesusing papain (PHP), trypsin (PHT), proteases from Abrus precatorius (PHAp)and B. enneandra(PHBe). The degree of hydrolysis (DH), antioxidant (DPPH method), and functional properties of hydrolysates were performed. The DH value, whatever hydrolysis time, was highest with PHP. The water holding capacity decreased with the hydrolysis time from 21.50 ± 0.44% to 5.20 ± 0.07%. After 6h of hydrolysis, PHAp exhibited maximum solubility value (70.17 ± 2.15%) while PHBe had lower solubility value (18.43 ± 0.12%). The highest value of emulsifying activity index was found at pH 9 with 0.25% (w/v) hydrolysate concentration. Within the range of pH used (4-9), the best foam capacity and foam stability were exhibited by PHBe. PHP, PHAp, and PHT inhibited DPPH radical at 83.30 ± 0.46, 75.07 ± 0.15, and 56.78 ± 0.40%, respectively, at 6h of hydrolysis.

Pharmacy is the science and method of preparing and dispensing drugs. It is a vocation that links health sciences with chemical sciences and targets to ensure the safe and effective use of drugs. Pharmacists, also known as chemists or druggists are healthcare professionals who practice in pharmacy, the field of health sciences focusing on safe and effective use of medication. Every pharmacist is a member of the health care team directly involved with patient care. The present study examines the perceptions of female pharmacists with regard to their work - life balances. Descriptive research with convenient sampling technique elicited responses from 47 pharmacists from southern India across various private hospitals. In spite of the fewer odds and ends prevailing in the organization, results revealed that they were happy with their present job. Even though the pharmacists could spend only very little quality time with their family, they were still able to balance their work and family life.

A Study on Work Life Balance of Female Pharmacists working in Private Hospitals

Substantial growth in modern innovations demands more power from utility. To cope with drastic power demand on grid renewable sources have been integrated. This makes more complex power system as these integrated sources more dynamic in nature. Intelligent usage of renewable sources leads to optimal and reliable power structure. This paper provides an optimal usage of renewable source for unified controlling action to compensate power quality issues on multi distribution feeders. Proposed Unified Multi Converter Controller (UMCC) effectively alleviates power quality issues like harmonics, imperfections in current and voltage on multi feeder. ANFIS based harmonics alleviation is studied and compared with traditional control error tuning. Here, Photovoltaic source is considered. Proposed three phase system is analyzed in MATLABSIMULINK platform with variable load and supply voltage conditions.

Communication means transferring of information from one person to another. People share their observations in verbal and non-verbal form through communication to be understood in formal and informal ways. Communication is nothing but exchanging ideas or receiving information in the form of signals or message through proper media, enabling people to persuade, to seek proper information, to provide information or express emotions. Primary and secondary data were used in the present study. By using the structural questionnaire the primary data for the study were collected from the Engineering Students of Vellore Institute of Technology. The secondary data were collected through wide range of literature review. This study followed empirical research. Stratified random sampling technique was used to select the sample for the study. The total sample size of the study are 120 students. The results indicated that all the F values have shown significant effect on student communication skills except four factors. The students should equip themselves with the construct and sub constructs of communication skills before they venture into the working world. These skills need to be combined and should be incorporated into the learning process. © IAEME Publication.

The realm of statistical inference can be classified mainly into Classical (Frequentist) and Bayesian approaches with theoretical and computational differences between these two methodologies. However, the current study does not aim to compare and contrast between these two approaches. The objective of this paper is to understand the theoretical basis, methodology involved and applications of Bayesian approach to assess the multiple mediated effects of health care data using Bayesian approach. Many researchers have emphasized the advantages of Bayesian statistics from model formulation to interpretation of results in various fields. The current study has used the health care data for the application of mediation analysis. © IAEME Publication.
