Green marketing is the buzzword nowadays which focuses on the organic concept of the product with minimum residue and wastages. It also focuses on the recycling and the reusability of the product for further usage. This research paper focuses on ‘The Impact of Food Labelling on Consumer’s choice of Products – A Green Marketing Initiative’. It focuses on green marketing, how consumer perceives it and what are the real ingredients associated with it. This is the empirical research where the Likert scale is used to collect the primary data. A sample of 126 respondents was used to analyse the green marketing initiative. The various factors that used were nutrition information, green packaging, fitness labels like low fat, gluten free etc., allergen information and the product in which the product is made etc. also impact consumer choices. Correlation analysis is used as a statistical tool to analyse the data with the help of SPSS 28.0 software. The scope and application of the paper is that the suggestive framework for green marketing initiatives can be used by various marketing firms, and policymakers which will empower the consumers and the manufacturer both to make improved and better fitness, health and ecologically environmentally friendly choices.

Human resource management is included within an organisation for recruiting employees, guiding work procedures, providing training, and developing policies to motivate and satisfy employees for better productivity and profit. This study sheds light on the importance of human resource management to influence employee turnover and job satisfaction of the employees. The study provided an overview of the different factors which prove to have a dramatic influence on employee turnover and the job satisfaction of the workers. The strategies integrated by human resource management for the heightening such crucial aspects of employee turnover and job satisfaction was observed in the study.

The utilization of back-propagation neural network in identification of internal dynamics of chaotic motion is found appropriate. However, during its training through Rumelhart algorithm, it is found that, a high learning rate (α) leads to rapid learning but the weights may oscillate, while a lower value of 'α' leads to slower learning process in weight updating formula Δvjk = αδjxi Momentum factor (μ) is to accelerate the convergence of error during the training in the equation wjk(t+1) = wjk(t) + αδkzj + μ{wjk(t) - wjk(t - 1)} vjk(t+1) = vjk(t) + αδkz + μ{vjk(t) - vjk(t-1) while transfer function sigmoid f(x) = 1/1+e-δx+n. It is the most complicated and experimental task to identify optimum value of 'α' and 'μ' during the training. To identiαy optimum value of 'α' and 'μ', firstly the network is trained with 10³ epochs under different values of 'α' in the close interval 0 < α <1 and μ = 1. At α = 0.3the convergence of initial weights and minimization of error (i.e., mean square error) process is found appropriate. Afterwards to find optimum value of μ, the network was trained again with α = 0.3 (fixed) and with different values of μ in the close interval 0 <μ < 1 for 10³ epochs. It was observed that the convergence of initial weights and minimization of error was appropriate with α = 0.3 and μ = 0.9. On this optimum value of α and μ the network was trained successfully from local minima of error = 1.67029292416874E-03 at 10³ epochs to global minima of error = 4.99180426869658E-04 at 15 105 epochs. At the global minima, the network has exhibited excellent performance in identification of internal dynamics of chaotic motion and in prediction of future values by past recorded data series. These essentials are presented through this research paper. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Objective: This article aimed to study the various treatment options according to the grading scale for penile incarceration. Materials and Methods: A retrospective review, of all the case files of patients presented with penile incarceration with encircling metallic object was performed. The patients were analyzed for age, marital status, motive, object used, who applied it, trauma grade, duration of incarceration, removal technique, removal time, anesthesia used and recovery time. Result: A total of seven patients were identified. The average age was 46.71 years. Self-sexual gratification was the most common motive (five patients). Six patients presented within 24 hours. Grade II of injury was commonest type of injury seen in five patients. The technique of removal chosen was according to grade of penile injury, duration of incarceration and type of object used. Spinal anesthesia was used in most of the cases (five patients). Conclusion: Penile incarceration with encircling metallic objects is a rare presentation and requires urgent intervention according to trauma grade to prevent complications. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Mucopolysaccharidoses are a type of lysosomal storage disorders characterized by defect in the degradation of Mucopolysaccharides due to deficiency of specific lysosomal enzymes leading to their accumulation in various tissues. MPS -VI (Maroteaux-Lamy Syndrome) is an autosomal recessive syndrome due to deficiency of enzyme Aryl- Sulfatase -B, and is characterized by characteristic facies, normal intelligence, Dysostosis multiplex, organomegaly, joint stiffness, corneal clouding and striking inclusions in peripheral blood leucocytes. We present an 8-year-old male child with MPS-VI syndrome, confirmed by enzyme assay. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Rice ecosystem of Chattisgarh can be divided into three major farming situations such as low-land, mid-land and up-land. In the present investigation, two farming situations of rice viz, mid-land and low-land were selected to evaluate the production potential of spices like-coriander, fenugreek and black cumin over traditionally grown crop chickpea during the rainy and winter season of year 2003 and 2004. The result revaled that, in general, the chickpea equivalaent yield was found higher in mid-land situation than low-land situation. Total net income of rice-spice croppping system was higher under mid-land farming situation than low-land farming situation. Among the crops, rice fenugreek gave maximum net returns in both the cropping system followed by black cumin and coriander crop. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The article focuses on a Caribbean case study of water resources and food security. It shows the need for policymakers to come to terms with the realities of virtual water imports and the impending food insecurity, and thereby give high priority to the expansion and improvement of the irrigation infrastructure in the contemporary planning of the island's water resources. The neglect of agriculture in Trinidad has deep historical roots, which go back to the days of the transatlantic slave trade and the sugar cane plantations between the seventeenth and nineteenth centuries. It may also be noted that the island's topography, in its central and southwestern plains, permits mechanized rice production.

Bezoars are conglomerates of food or fiber in the alimentary tract of humans and certain animals, mainly ruminants. A trichobezoar represents a mass of accumulated hair. Trichobezoars may present as an isolated gastric mass, as an extension into the small intestine, or as an independent fragmented mass in the small intestine. The presence of discrete coexisting gastric and ileal trichobezoars has been reported only rarely in the literature. This is a case report of a 10-year-old girl presenting with small-bowel obstruction secondary to synchronous trichobezoars in the stomach and ileum. The case highlights the role of imaging and importance of complete evaluation of the gastrointestinal tract at the time of surgical evacuation. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
