Nowadays all managers try to find the factors which affect on organizational or personal outputs like performance and productivity. One of these factors is organizational culture. The topic of organizational culture is increasingly understood as a company asset that can be used to increase business performance. While important, organizational culture is a slippery concept to concretely define. This paper deals with the historical development and foundational understandings of both the term culture, from anthropology, and its appropriation by industrial organization researchers to organizational culture. In the research, the role of organizational culture in the organizations was surveyed. Organizational culture refers to the beliefs and values that have existed in an organization for a long time, and to the beliefs of the staff and the foreseen value of their work that will influence their attitudes and behavior. Administrators usually adjust their leadership behavior to accomplish the mission of the organization, and this could influence the employees’ job satisfaction. It is therefore essential to understand the relationship between organizational culture, leadership behavior and job satisfaction of employees. It can be learned by stories, rituals, material symbols and language. And finally it can affect on job satisfaction, commitment, empowerment, performance, productivity and even customer satisfaction.

Percutaneous treatment of tibial plateau fractures under arthroscopic control, although minimal, is a cause of a decrease in morbidity compared toopen surgery. The objective of this work is to report the functional results, inshort and medium term, of these percutaneous osteosynthesis under arthroscopiccontrol. Fifteen patients were treatedby percutaneous screwing with arthroscopic control for fractures classified Shatzker I to III. The average age was 32 years; the average follow up was 39, 9 months (24 -119 months). We have not noticed postoperative infection, the results were considered good, the score IKS (International Knee Society) average was 83.2 for the knee score and 89 for the function score. One patient presented a secondary bone depression at 35 days post-surgery. Percutaneous treatment of fractures separation or separation anddepression of the lateral plateau conducted under arthroscopy provides satisfaction in terms of postoperative indolence, early recovery and rehabilitation, and seems to have satisfactory results in the short and medium term. We cannot assess the impact on the evolutionosteoarthritis due to lack of sufficient experience.

In this paper we characterized a vertex whose removal increases the perfect domination number of a graph. We also consider the pendent vertices whose removal decreases the perfect domination number.

Management practices refer to the strategies, and organizational practices to improve workers effectiveness and performance, with the intended improvement in quality. The paucity in studies on healthcare management practices in developing countries prompted undertaking this study. The purpose of this qualitative descriptive study was to explore the management practices that influence health workers performance and quality of care within the Dakar-Senegal region and to gain an insight into the phenomenon under study. The theory of performance was used as the underlying lens in this study. The overarching research questions developed in this study, was to understand how healthcare workers describe management practices that affect healthcare worker performance in Senegal, and to explore, how healthcare workers describe management practices that affect the quality of care in Senegal. The focus of this study was on clinicians in various healthcare organizations. The protocol developed in this study included one-on-one interviews and focus groups. The repeated words or phrases from the interview data was used to categorize data into themes. The themes that emerged from the data were: (a) willingness to better communicate and work as team in the workplace, (b) expanding the knowledge and training skills for a positive organization operational, (c) restoring and effective organization structure in promoting learning/growth, increase efficiency, quality, flexibility and performance. These themes clarified how management practices influence healthcare worker performance and quality.

Phase-stabilized Y?O?–ZrO? nanocomposite were successfully synthesized in two different ratios (60% Y2O3-ZrO2 & 40% Y2O3-ZrO2) and systematically characterized to evaluate their potential for photocatalytic degradation applications. X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis confirmed the formation of a stabilized cubic/tetragonal zirconia phase with fine crystallite size, indicating the effective incorporation of Y?O? into the ZrO? lattice. FTIR spectra revealed the characteristic metal–oxygen vibrational modes associated with Y–O and Zr–O bonding, further supporting the structural stability of the nanomaterials. UV–Visible absorption studies showed a strong absorption edge in the UV region with a reduced band gap, demonstrating enhanced photo-response suitable for photocatalysis. SEM analysis illustrated the formation of uniformly distributed nanosized particles with controlled morphology, which facilitates efficient charge separation during photocatalytic reactions. The photocatalytic studies confirmed that the Y?O?-ZrO? nanocomposite exhibit superior degradation efficiency toward organic pollutants under UV irradiation, attributed to their improved structural stability, optical activity, and surface morphology. These findings highlight the potential of Y?O?–ZrO? nanostructures as promising photocatalysts for environmental remediation applications.

The host plant, Pentaslanceolata, constitutes 77% of complete pollinators. We observed and labored out a total of 536 visits to this host plant. Oecophyllasmaragdina had 218 visits with more affinity, Papiliodemoleus (198), Tirumalaseptentrionis (177), and Euploea core (159). We recorded the top pastimes between 8.30 hours and 12.30 hours. 75% of the traveling endeavor finished for the duration of this period. Among the found foragers, the majority were E.core, P.demoleus, T.septentrionis, and P.polytes having two top intervals of vigorous visits. (9.30 hours in the morning session and 14.30 hours in the afternoon session). Junoniaatlites were active all through early morning up to 9.00 hours and in the night after 17.00 hours. Among bees species, Amegilla sp. and Megacampsomerisgrossa confirmed a single height as energetic throughout the morning hours.

Potato is cultivated in plain and hilly area of eastern zone of Nepal and adjoining area of India. It is an important ingredient of vegetables- boiled, fried and spicy used in daily diet. Potato is grown a little in eastern zone against the demand and mostly imported from India. Potato requires a wide range of soil- sandy loams, slit loams, loams and peat. The tuber is rich in starch. The varieties of potato such as Kufri Red, Kufri Sinduri have been developed in Central Potato Research Institute, Simla. The survey of potato cultivation was completed on Date 15/03/2022 at Devanganj, Sunsari district of Province no 1. Some branches of potato were suffering from leaf roll disease by the pathogen Potato leaf roll virus (PLRV). Polero Virus transmitted by green peach aphid Myzus persicae. Severity of the disease was 4-8%. Identification of the potato leaf roll virus was according to Mehrotra (1980)21, Gibbs (1969)9, Gibbs & Harison (1976)12, Gibbs, et al. (1966)10, Nagaich, et al.

The aim of the present study was to improve the solubility and bioavailability of a poorly water-soluble drug in human body, using a solid dispersion technique. Solubility and dissolution rate is an important physicochemical factor affecting absorption of drug and its therapeutic effectiveness. Consequences of poor aqueous solubility would lead to failure in formulation development. The poor solubility of drug substances in water and their low dissolution rate in aqueous G.I.T fluid often leads to insufficient bioavailability. In the present investigation, an attempt was made to improve the solubility and dissolution rate of a poorly soluble drug, Eprosartan by solid dispersion method using skimmed milk powder as carrier. Four different formulations were prepared with varying drug:carrier ratios viz.1:1, 1:3, 1:5 and 1:9 and the corresponding physical mixtures were also prepared. The formulations were characterized for solubility parameters, drug release studies and drug-polymer interactions by using phase solubility studies, dissolution studies; XRD analysis, FTIR spectrum, TLC analysis and UV overlay spectra. All the formulations showed marked improvement in the solubility behaviour and improved drug release. Formulation containing drug: polymer ratio of 1:9 showed the best release with a cumulative release of 82.67 % as compared to 6.919 % for the pure drug. The interaction studies showed no interaction between the drug and the carrier. It was concluded that skimmed milk powder as a carrier can be very well utilized to improve the solubility of poorly soluble drugs.
