The research that has been done in the area of evaluation methods all seek to achieve an efficient evaluation system for employees. The purpose and expectations of an organization determine performance evaluation method. Although most researchers and human resource managers believe that comprehensive and time consuming methods provide us with more effective information, the important point is that a suitable method based on organization situation and using cost analysis must be selected. 360-degree evaluation is an evaluation method in which a list of the merits is provided and all people involved in organization including superiors, colleagues, subordinates and the individual will be asked directly and indirectly to assess somebody on the basis of the merits required. The appraisee also participates in the process of self-evaluation. The present paper aims to investigate the difference between two types of evaluation methods including 360-degree evaluation and traditional evaluation among the employees and managers of Imam Reza Hospital in Kermanshah Province. The study sample is composed of all staff involved in Imam Reza Hospital including 50 managers, 46 physicians and also 479 employees who were surveyed by traditional evaluation method and 360-degree evaluation method. The data obtained using independent t-test and F-statistics and multiple comparison Tukey test showed that there is a significant difference between the means of the results obtained from the traditional evaluation method and 360-degree evaluation method, and 360-degree method provides the system with the a more accurate evaluation than the traditional method.

Headache is one of the most common complaints encountered by healthcare practitioners, accounting for more than 1% of visits to physicians’ offices or emergency departments. As one of the top 10 presenting complaints in ambulatory medical care, headache can be symptomatic of a distinct pathologic process or can occur without an underlying cause. A migraine is caused by abnormal brain activity, which can be triggered by a number of factors. However, the exact chain of events remains unclear. Today, most medical experts believe the attack begins in the brain, and involves nerve pathways and chemicals. The changes affect blood flow in the brain and surrounding tissues. Caffeine withdrawal, Changes in hormone levels during a woman's menstrual cycle or with the use of birth control pills, Changes in sleep patterns, Exercise or other physical stress, Missed meals, Smoking or exposure to smoke. Migraine is an incurable disease. The review study was undertaken with the intention of finding a remedy for migraine. Preventive treatments of migraines include medications, nutritional supplements, lifestyle alterations, and surgery. Prevention is recommended in those who have headaches more than two days a week, cannot tolerate the medications used to treat acute attacks, or those with severe attacks that are not easily controlled.The goal of migraine therapy is to reduce the frequency, painfulness, and/or duration of migraines, and to increase the effectiveness of abortive therapy and to reduce drug consumption.

Background: Discharge and Billing process being the final step in the hospital experience is likely to be well remembered by the patient. Even if everything else went satisfactorily, a slow, frustrating discharge process can result in low patient satisfaction. Thus this study was carried out with the aim to ascertain the average time taken for the patient to be discharged in a tertiary care teaching hospital of Karnataka. Method: Registers were designed for the study purpose and were kept in the ward and billing office. Instructions were given to the nurses in the ward and clerical staff at the billing office about the study and entries to be made in the register. The average time taken for the whole discharge process of an individual patient was calculated using the data maintained in the registers. The statistical analysis was made to ascertain the average time taken for discharge. Appropriate tables and graphs are used for representing various findings and results. Results and Conclusion: The average time taken for the whole discharge process i.e. Intra processing time +Inter processing time of an individual patient is 2 hours 22 minutes.

Significant amounts of research and development work on Photovoltaic solar cells generate electricity by receiving sun light or solar irradiance. But solar cell received heat from solar irradiance as well and this will reduced the efficiency of the solar cell so the solution for this was by adding a cooling system (air or water) to the photovoltaic panel. Photovoltaic/thermal technology has been done. Many innovative systems and products have been introduced while evaluated product’s quality by academics and professionals. Some theoretical models also offered that experimental data have been validated their appropriateness. Important parameters in designing have known. Purpose of this paper is give review of trend to development photovoltaic/ thermal technology.

This study examined the accessibility and utilization of electronic resources by the staff of Fountain University, Osogbo, Nigeria. A total of 100 questionnaires were distributed to the staff of the university out of which 65 (65%) were completed and returned. Questionnaire was the instrument used for data collection among staff. The data was analyzed using Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS). One of the findings of the study was that accessibility of electronic resources among staff in FUO was very low and this affects the use of these electronic resources. This paper discussed the strategies to increase access to subscribed electronic resources in the e-library of Fountain University Library. There is need to increase the internet facilities on campus in order to facilitate the accessibility of electronic resources to staff and the entire library users. The study discovered the factors hindering effective use of the library electronic resources to include irregular internet access culminating in slow downloading process, poor staff attitude to staff and irregular power supply. The study found out that subscription to large bandwidth, deployment of adequate internet signal, aggressive awareness, advocacy, attitudinal change of staff to use of e-resources and research development could enhance access and use of e-resources and databases.

Pesticides are one of the most significant environmental factors that cause various metabolic and physiological dysfunctions in the male reproductive system. In the present investigation, alterations in sperm morphology, sperm count and sperm motility, as well as in the testosterone levels and histopathology of testicular cells due to endosulfan toxicity was studied. Sexually matured male Swiss albino mice (Mus musculus), weighing 30±2g, were segregated into 4 different groups with ten mice in each group. 3 groups were administered with the dose of 3mg/kg body wt per day of Endosulfan by oral gavage method for 6, 12 and 18 weeks respectively, and one group served as control. After the last treatment, the animals were sacrificed on 6th, 12th, 18th weeks and the sperm parameters were estimated. The mice testes were fixed for light microscopy study and serum testosterone levels were estimated. Endosulfan significantly decreased the sperm motility and sperm count, and there were distinct histopathological abnormalities in testicular tissue. Significant decline in the testosterone levels was also observed. Endosulfan causes deleterious effects on the spermatological parameters of Swiss albino mice,thus negatively affecting the fertility. Keywords: Endosulfan, Mus musculus, Sperm count, Sperm motility, Sperm morphology.

We propose a novel method based on artificial neural network (ANN) for beam position calculation and fault diagnosis of beam position monitors (BPM) in electron storage rings. BPM are diagnostic devices used to determine position of stored electron beam in storage rings. BPM commonly uses four button type electrodes as sensors to sense the electric field of electron beam circulating in storage ring. A mathematical polynomial of suitable degree is generally used to compute beam position from the button electrode signals of the BPM when beam excursions are large from the design orbit. The coefficients of the polynomial are derived from the bench calibration data of BPM. In the proposed new method, a neural network predicts the position of electron beam using four electrode signals of a BPM. A feed-forward network with three hidden layers using backpropagation training algorithm has been designed and trained with the bench calibration data of each BPM. The beam position predicted by the network was compared with conventional polynomial method. Neural network based method was tested on the BPM of 2.5 GeV electron synchrotron radiation source named Indus-2 at Raja Ramanna Centre for Advanced Technology, Indore, India. The root mean square (rms) error in neural network predicted beam position in horizontal plane and vertical plane was 24 and 26 microns respectively as compared with 100 and 101 microns with first polynomial and 61 and 66 microns with second polynomial in the central region of ± 5 mm on bench calibration data. The reliability of beam position measurement was assured by another neural network by doing self consistency check. In this paper we present architecture, training of neural network and improvement in beam position measurement in comparison with polynomial method.
