SEROLOGICAL AND MOLECULAR TESTS FOR DIAGNOSIS OF TYPHOID - A REVIEW

Typhoid claims millions of lives worldwide each year and continues to be a serious health threat especially in developing countries like India. Till date, many tests have been developed for diagnosis of typhoid that are either based on detection of antibodies against SalmonellaTyphi antigens or detecting antigens that are specific to S.Typhi. However, all of them have limitations of sensitivity and specificity and none can be considered as ideal for diagnosis of typhoid.

A STUDY OF CO-OPERATIVE BANKS AND SOME CHALLENGES (A CASE OF THE VARACHHA CO-OPERATIVE BANK)

The origins of the urban co-operative banking movement in India can be traced to the close of nineteenth century. These co-operative societies are based on the principles of co-operation, mutual help, cooperative decision making and open membership.

The term co-operative Banks, though non-formally defined, refers to primary co-operative banks located in urban and semi-urban areas. These banks till 1996, were allowed to lend money only for non-agricultural purposes.

UNDERSTANDING SAMPRAPTI (AETIOPATHOGENESIS) OF A DISEASE IN LIGHT OF AYURVEDA

The Ayurvedic concept of evolution of disease, based primarily in the understanding of the host-man, meaning of disease without losing sight of either the extrinsic or the intrinsic factors is comprehensive by itself.  Object of Ayurveda is to relieve mankind from diseases and death and to ensure long life - full of health and youthful vigor.  The Ayurveda refers that the Samprapti (Aetiopathogenesis) of any disease is based on the imbalance of three Dosha (Bodily humors) – Vata, Pitta and Kapha.

SPIRITUAL INTELLIGENCE OF TEACHER TRAINEES

This study was initiated to investigate the impact of spiritual intelligence on the Teacher trainees related to their gender, type of family and marital status. A sample of 33 M.Ed. teacher trainees’ was selected. A tool on Spiritual Intelligence devised by Prof. Roquiya Zainuddin and Ms. Anjum Ahmed was used for the present study. The data was analysed by using Mean, S.D. and t-test. The findings of the study revealed that there was a high Spiritual Intelligence in Teacher Trainees. There is no significant difference in the SI Scores of Male and female Teacher Trainees.

STUDY OF ADJUSTMENT OF STUDENT TEACHERS

The present study was conducted to study the adjustment of student teachers with reference to their gender, stream, educational qualification and category. A sample of 94 student teachers of Bhuj was selected by simple random sampling technique. The study revealed that the student teachers of  science faculty are better adjusted than the student teachers of arts. It is also revealed that  the student teachers from Open category are better adjusted than the student teachers of  SC and ST category.

WHY WE NEED TO RE-ENGINEER OUR HIGHER EDUCATION INSTITUTIONS?

At the beginning of India’s independence in 1947, there were 20 universities and 500 colleges while student enrolment at the tertiary level of education was 0.1 million. After independence the growth has been quite impressive .This has increased to 611 universities and university-level Institutions and 31,324 colleges as on August 2011.

A STUDY OF AIDS AWARENESS OF STUDENTS OF SECONDARY SCHOOL OF MUNDRA CITY

This Study is based on the survey research for knowing awareness of students regarding Contagious disease AIDS. Researcher has attempted to check the effect of Gender, Cast and Area of location of secondary school students on Consciousness Standard of Students about AIDS Disease.

TEACHING THROUGH SYNECTICS: PAVING WAY TO INNOVATIVE PRACTICES

William J. J. Gordon and his associates designed Synectics, an interesting approach to the development of creativity. Analogies are the chief element of Synectics. In Synectics exercises students ‘play’ with analogies until they relax and begin to enjoy making more and more metaphoric comparisons. Then they use analogies to attack problems or ideas. It is designed to lead students into slightly illogical world to give us the opportunity to invent new ways of seeing things, expressing ourselves and approaching problems. There are two strategies based on Synectics procedure.

STUDIES THE EFFECT OF TIG WELDING PARAMETERS ON IMPACT STRENGTH OF 5083 ALUMINUM ALLOY

Tungsten Inert Gas (TIG) welding is a high quality welding process used to weld the thin metals and their alloy. 5083 Aluminium alloys play an important role in engineering and metallurgy field because of excellent corrosion properties, ease of fabrication and high specific strength with best combination of toughness and formability. TIG welding technique is one of the precise and fastest processes used in aerospace, ship and marine industries. TIG welding process is used to perform experiment and analyze the recorded data in the form of tables and figures.

COLLECTIVE ANIMAL BEHAVIOR ALGORITHM FOR SOLVING OPTIMAL REACTIVE POWER DISPATCH PROBLEM

This paper presents a collective animal behavior (CAB) algorithm for solving the multi-objective reactive power dispatch problem in power system. Modal analysis of the system is used for static voltage stability assessment. Loss minimization and maximization of voltage stability margin are taken as the objectives. Generator terminal voltages, reactive power generation of the capacitor banks and tap changing transformer setting are taken as the optimization variables A meta heuristic algorithm for global optimization called the collective animal behavior (CAB) is introduced.
