...Screening and Decolonization of MRSA in the Preoperative Patient Suzanne Miller Aspen University HUM410 Abstract Staphylococcus aureus is the most common organism responsible for surgical site infections. The colonization of Methicillin-resistant staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) has been identified as a significant risk factor for patients undergoing orthopedic surgery, putting this patient at a higher risk of developing a surgical site infection. Screening preoperatively and treating colonization is a tool to aid in the prevention of surgical site infections in patients undergoing elective joint surgery. Results of various studies of patients undergoing elective joint replacement surgery have been reviewed. A nasal swab was obtained and cultured during preadmission testing. If the culture showed that the patient was positive for MRSA colonization they were treated with nasal mupirocin. They also were instructed to bathe with surgical wipes containing chlorhexidine prior to the procedure. The results of the research suggest that the use of a screening protocol prior to surgery can decrease the risk of MRSA in the postoperative patient. Table of Contents 1.

...The study by (Deepti Tripathi, 2014) helps to Analyze the Financial Position and Performance of the Axis and Kotak Mahindra Bank in India based on their financial characteristics based on the CAMEL model and t-test which measures the performance of bank from each of the important parameter like capital adequacy, asset quality, management efficiency, earning quality, liquidity and Sensitivity. Bhayani (2006) analyzed the performance of new private sector banks through the help of the CAMEL model. Four leading private sector banks – Industrial Credit & Investment Corporation of India, Housing Development Finance Corporation, Unit Trust of India and Industrial Development Bank of India - had been taken as a sample. Sanjay J. Bhayani (2006) in his study, “Performance of the New Indian Private Banks: A Comparative study”. The study covered 4 leading private sector banks- ICICI, HDFC Bank, UTI and IDBI. The result showed that the aggregate performance of IDBI Bank is the best among all the banks. (Bhayani, 2006) Dr.K.Srinivas and L.Saroja (2013) conducted a study to compare the financial performance of HDFC Bank and ICICI Bank. From the study it is clear that there is no significance difference between the ICICI and HDFC bank’s financial performance but we conclude that the ICICI bank performance is slightly less compared with HDFC. (K. Srinivasl, 2013) There are number of indicators for evaluating financial performance of banks on the basis of the financial measures. Usually...

...The key to a successful organization is said to lie within a good manager. It is in fact the effectiveness of this manager and the qualities that they possess that are vital to the development and preservation of an efficient management system within a corporation. The question remains however, as to whether or not these good managers are born, if they possess qualities that will mould them into exceptional managers. Or are they made? Is it possible to develop and acquire the necessary skills to become the good manager a successful organization needs? It is of importance that we define what a manager is before taking any steps further. According to Tripathi, (2008, p.2) “a manager is one who contributes to the organization's goals indirectly by directing the efforts of others-not by performing the task himself”. Leadership and management are closely interrelated because if you are a manager of an organization, you are in essence the most important leader (Kouzes & Posner 2010, p.338). The most obvious distinction between a leader and a manager lies within what ‘leadership’ refers to. Leadership does not refer to a position at the top of an organization and just because a manager holds that specific position, it does not mean they are leading. Leaders have willing followers where their right to lead is earned from those followers through their influence. They intend to make change using their personal power and cannot use coercion but instead inspire with their vision (Huth...

...asked the plan to set the nation’s growth rate firmly at 9 percent to 9.5 percent. Come May, a view into the implementation of these goals should be apparent. A question that India’s government will have to grapple with, much like that of any emerging market, is whether to continue to focus on GDP growth in the face of soaring food prices and economy-wide inflation. An important aspect of generating “inclusive growth” is shifting the target of government aid to rural areas. Typically, large projects such as power generation, roads whereby freight can travel, and airports receive the lion’s share of government subsidies, while rural infrastructure receives comparatively little. A recent op-ed piece in the Wall Street Journal by Saurabh Tripathi, a partner with Boston Consulting Group, echoed these sentiments. “Rural infrastructure, which serves 70 percent of the population, doesn’t get the attention it deserves. As the Planning Commission sets out to draft the country’s planned investments for the...

...Abstract: Advanced cyberattacks on the public and private sectors at the local, national, and international level have prompted an increase in funding and support for the study of emerging cybersecurity technologies. The considerations for this paper are to discuss the emerging technologies and strategies that can be integrated across the public and private sector to improve cybersecurity on a local, national, and international level. New technologies need to dynamically assess networks real-time such as with the use of Remote Agents and Real-time forensic analysis. These technologies also need to make the attack space less predictable and constantly evolving such as through the use of moving target defense. Emerging Cybersecurity Technologies The E-government Act of 2000 was signed by President Bush to move toward a more 24-7 government. The dream was to eliminate the need to have to stand in line at the DMV for half a day just to pay annual vehicle registration fees (Barker, 2011). Security was certainly a concern, but it was not at the forefront of the move as government agencies would go through massive changes in equipment, manning, and practices in order to move information and programs online. Now, over a decade later we still see moves and changes taking place, such as the department of Veterans Affairs recently moving all of their applications, forms and records online. The expensive cost of getting the government caught up was expected with such an overhaul...

...Question 1 Response – Prior to the launch of Google.cn, what factors should Google have considered in reaching their decision to comply with Chinese government censorship laws? One factor Google should have considered is the financial perspective. From a financial perspective, China represented for Google a dynamic and fast-growing, though increasingly competitive, market (Wilson, Ramos and Harvey, 2007). According to Google’s 2006 projections, the Chinese internet market was expected to grow from 105 million users to 250 million users by 2010 (Schrage, 2006). Another factor Google should have considered is ethics. Google’s decision to self-censor Google.cn attracted significant ethical criticism at the time. The company’s motto is “Don’t Be Evil,” and prior to entering China, Google had successfully set itself apart from other technology giants, becoming a company trusted by millions of users to protect and store their personal information. The choice to accept self-censorship, and the discussion and debate generated by this choice, forced Google to re-examine itself as a company and forced the international community to reconsider the implications of censorship (Wilson, Ramos and Harvey, 2007). Another factor to consider was if the decision was in total agreement with Google’s mission and policies. Google senior policy counsel Andrew McLaughlin knew removing search results was inconsistent with Google’s mission, but also believed that providing no information at all was more...

The Retail Sector is seeing investments of up to Rs. 6000 crore by the 20 prominent retail players. On the other hand (A report by Govt. of India in 2004 by the centre for policy alternatives entitled FDI in India’s retail sector: ‘More bad than good’ stated that) retailing is “probably the primary form of disguised unemployment, underemployment in the country. India has 35 towns each with a population of over one million. If Wal-Mart were to open an average Wal-Mart store in each of these cities and they reached the average Wal-Mart performance per store, we are looking at a turnover of over Rs. 80, 330 million ($1.82 billion) with only 10,195 employees. Extrapolating this with the average trend in India, it would mean displacing about 4,32,000 persons. If large retailers were to obtain 20 per cent of the retail trade, ‘this would mean a turnover of Rs. 800 billion ($ 18 billion) at current market price. And of course, would mean an employment of just 43,540 persons displacing meanly eight million persons employed in the unorganized retail sector. Understanding...

...1. What are the causes and consequences of BMW's quality problems with newly launched products? What should be done to improve launch quality? Cause and Consequences of BMW quality problems In this case, there are few cause and consequences that BMW face during their production with newly launch products and resulting in some major impacts that puts BMW in disadvantage position when competing with its competitors. One of the reason that affects the launch quality was the designing time duration. In styling, BMW took around 2 years on designing and finalize the launch products which is longest time would be spend on any automobile company. However the Japanese automobile company would likely only to spend no more than 6 month to finalize the products which is 3.5 times effective then BMW. Nevertheless BMW argues that the time were spend in this stage was essential as they have to work from creating a excellent durable design and also to ensure every single components to ensure it fits and matched into the launch products. This slow decision making process by BMW may cause few impact towards the company and even loss. According to Gilani Natasha, he state that business with slow decision making process may cause organization to increase organization cost and impedes performance. Besides that, BMW also will lost their competitive advantage towards its competitors as they could not able to produce as much variety of choice of launch products then the Japanese automobile company...

...Homocysteine and The Cardiovascular System Abstract Cardiovascular disease is considered to be the leading cause of death to date. There are many factors that contribute to cardiovascular disease. Some factors are conventional and straightforward, while others are unconventional and overlooked (Dwivedi, Tripathi, Shukla, Khan, Chauhan, 2011). Homocysteine is an amino acid found in the body that helps to build and maintain tissue. High levels of homocysteine have been linked to endothelial damage to the blood vessels. This damage can lead to plaque formation, thus atherosclerosis can ensue (American Heart Association, 2012). Although there are many causes of hyperhomocysteinemia, research has shown that nutritional replacement has helped to lower the level. Folic acid and B vitamins have shown to decrease homocysteine levels and thus help decrease plaque formation. Patients with high levels of homocysteine are instructed to include folic acid and b vitamins in their diet, restrict methionine, and exercise. Homocysteine is an unconventional risk factor for cardiovascular disease, and can also be used as a risk marker (Milani & Lavi, 2008). Homocysteine and The Cardiovascular System Cardiovascular disease involves all the diseases that affect the heart and vessels. There are many different diseases that affect the cardiovascular system. Atherosclerosis is one of these diseases. Atherosclerosis is characterized by the accumulation of soft, fatty and fibrinous...

...A Software Quality Assurance and Management System Er.Ashish Kumar Tripathi, Er. Sachin Kumar Dhar Dwivedi, Mr. Saurabh Upadhyay Abstract- Software quality objectives covers a variety of techniques and measurements, including gathering code metrics, enforcing coding rules, and proving the absence of run-time errors. The guide also takes into account the origin of the code, its stage in the software life cycle, and the safety aspects of the application. The guide explains how to gradually adapt the code verification process to achieve targeted quality objectives Index Terms- Application and System S/W, System efficiency, testing and good designing tools. -------------------------------------------------------- 1-Introduction Quality assurance for automotive systems can require different types of verification activities throughout the development process. Early verification focuses on evaluating intermediate software builds and removing defects at coding time. This represents an emerging trend because performing verification early in the process can improve overall quality and reduce development time. Post-production verification focuses on evaluating final build quality or finding defect root causes after the product is complete. This is the most common approach to automotive system verification. 3-About Software ProductsSoftware products may be • Custom - developed for a particular customer, according to its specifications Generic (“package”) - developed for...

...that can be used to support the differences between public sector and private sector management. This paper explains the difference in the mangers’ job context; purposes and goals, accountability and autonomy. Finally, we will give a brief summary of the paper in the conclusion. Some Opinions Since the 1800’s, different scholars have given different interpretations of management from their points of view. Mary Parker Follett, an American social worker and management consultant gave a popular definition. She says, “management is the art of getting things done through people” (Tripathi, 2008). George R. Terry, the 16th President of the Academy of Management gave a somewhat more elaborate definition. He defined management as a process “consisting of planning, organising, actuating and controlling, performed to determine and accomplish the objectives by the use of people and resources” (Tripathi, 2008). His definition describes management as a process—a systematic way of doing things. Both definitions do not suggest that public sector management is any different from private sector management....

...Sunil Dutt knew he had to make up his mind fast. Later in the evening Anil Tripathi would be calling up, and Dutt was expected to give his final answer to Tripathi’s request for advising the large tube manufacturing complex at Indore. Dutt knew that the substantial monthly consultancy fees would provide much needed revenue for the Caltech team at Jamshedpur. By being away at Indore he would also avoid the constant clashes with his co-promoter A. Chakravarthy. But it would also mean that his absence could have a serious impact on the project implementation activities and jeopardize the basic idea with which he and his colleagues had left jobs and started their venture, Caltech. The Early Years Dutt was born in a middle class family in Jamshedpur, where his father was a doctor working with the Tatas. His father was a disciplinarian and inculcated values of hard work, integrity, family commitment and social consciousness in his children. Due to an untimely accident Dutt’s father had become incapacitated, and as the eldest child. Dutt was forced to accept partial responsibility for his younger brothers and sisters. He gave up his childhood dream of becoming an engineer, and instead started working with TISCO (now called Tata Steel) immediately after passing Intermediate Science. Dutt’s passion about technological innovations and his high commitment to action soon started being noticed by senior management in TISCO. This case was prepared by Prof. Anjan Raichaudhuri, solely for the...
