The purpose of this study is to analyze the impact on national and international political and economic events on performance of selected mutual funds. For this two categories of mutual fund, ICICI Prudential Focused Blue chip Fund-Growth (Equity diversified mutual fund) and ICICI Prudential Income Fund-Growth (Debt Fund) are considered. We have considered four latest events happen in 2016. Out of these events, two are National events (Demonetization and GST) and two are International events (BREXIT and wining US election by Donald Trump. Event study has been taken as analytical tool to assess the impact on of events on mutual funds in terms of their return, and for the event study the event window of 21 days (i.e. 10 days before and 10 days after the event day including event day) will consider for abnormal return and estimation window of 21 days consider for normal return. The time gap between event window and estimation window is 90 days. Expected results of this study suggest that these events either National or Global affect the mutual fund performance in terms of volatility in NAV of mutual funds. © 2019, Institute of Advanced Scientific Research, Inc..

Introduction: Blood Transfusions are used for various medical conditions to replace lost components of the blood. One may need a blood transfusion due to several reasons including blood lost during major surgery, childbirth, a severe accident and in severe cases of anemia. Since there is no substitute for blood and its products blood should be utilized thoughtfully and optimum utilization should be ensured. Methods: A retrospective study was carried out in a tertiary care hospital for a period of one month to study the utilization of the blood. The parameters studied included detailed study of the components of blood utilized and not utilized. Classification of blood components utilized was done age-wise, gender-wise and department-wise. Also, percentage of discard of blood components from blood bank as well from the components being returned was noted. Results: The total units of blood collected in the month of February & March were 853 and 791 units respectively. The components maximally utilized were leucocytes reduced red cell component. The component, which showed maximum wastage, was Random donor platelet. Maximum blood was utilized within the age group 41-64. Male patients required more of blood units than females. The reason for maximum wastage was found to be “Expired Sample”. The maximum return seen was of red blood cells. The average time taken for return was 113 minutes. Conclusion: This study implies the need for efficient blood banking so that blood components can be utilized resourcefully and minimal wastage can be ensured.

Purpose: The purpose of this paper is to review the risk categories which are predominant in international projects and to rank them according to their effect on project success. Design/methodology/approach: A literature survey of peer-reviewed journal articles, survey reports and books on project management is used as the research methodology. One among the various multi-criteria decision making methods named as Technique for Order Preference by Similarity to the Ideal Solution (TOPSIS) has been used to rank the risk categories according to their importance. The data for TOPSIS were collected through questionnaire as the research instrument. Findings: The findings derived from evaluation of the publications led to the identification of eight different types of risk categories associated with international projects. The TOPSIS method resulted into political risks, technical risks and design-related risks as the top three risk categories in international projects. Contractual and legal risks and fraudulent practices-related risks are relatively low-ranked risk category. Research limitations/implications: The findings will be useful in successful implementation of international projects as the knowledge of risk categories and their ranking will help project manager to plan the risk response strategies. A larger sample size for decision makers and more variety of projects can give more exhaustive risk categories and their ranking. Practical implications: This paper explores eight different risk categories in international projects. It represents the ranking of risk categories according to their importance in project success. This will be helpful to project managers for developing a general framework for planning the appropriate risk response strategies. Social implications: Governments of many countries around the world are encouraging their industries to undertake and successfully complete projects in foreign countries. However, many industries experience failure in projects as they fail to implement the risk management (RM) effectively in international projects. This research work provides the risk categories in international projects and their ranking which can assist in developing strategies to respond the risk appropriately. Originality/value: This paper uses the TOPSIS method for ranking major types of risk categories in international projects. It might represent new opportunities for rigorous and relevant research that would contribute to an in-depth knowledge of RM methodologies.

Introduction: The quality of healthcare depends on many factors, including timely availability of a patient's medical information. There is a wide gap in healthcare services provided to rural and urban areas of India. Objective: To study the use of EMR in chronic disease management and to study the challenges while implementing EMR in rural areas of Andhra Pradesh. Method: In this project, the study design used was Descriptive research and was conducted in the states of Andhra Pradesh and Telangana. Under hospital they have formed a foundation, under which they had different community centres in different villages where the EMR software was implemented. Study was conducted among the patients visiting to the community centres. Results and Discussion: Out of 1305 patients 576 were diabetic which is 44% and 688 were having hypertension which is 52% of total number of patients. Initial adoption of an EMR system requires allocation of time for learning and training. Primary care (Community centres) practices need to budget for the onetime costs associated with implementation. Application: EMR have been promoted as a potential tool for narrowing the quality gap. The benefits of electronic medical records include increased use of appropriate preventive services, improved chronic disease management and reduction in medical errors. Conclusion: Clinical documentation and health information portability are the biggest challenges in urban and rural areas of India. This project focuses on how EMR system could help in prompt availability of medical information at the point of care.

Background: Delayed discharge is a frequent issue in majority of the hospitals as discharge Turn Around Time (TAT) for insured patients is higher than uninsured patients. The present study was conducted on insured in-patients to identify the predictors of discharge delays. Second, the impact of TAT of various steps of discharge process was analyzed on the overall discharge TAT. Finally, the intermediate TATs having highest predicting effect on the overall TAT were identified. Methods: This cross-sectional study was done on insured in-patients of a corporate hospital in Pune city from May to July 2015. TAT of the six steps of discharge process and the overall TAT was tracked and analyzed across Length of Stay (LOS) and discharge type using independent t-test. The six TATs were analyzed for predicting effect on overall TAT using correlation and linear regression. Results: The mean discharge TAT for insured patients (n = 443) was 390 (±122.03) minutes. Intervening TATs for submitting discharge summary to TPA department and the final bill approval from insurance company had highest predicting effect on overall TAT through statistical analysis. Discharge TAT did not vary significantly for planned/unplanned discharge but significantly increased by 1 hour for high LOS patients (p-value < 0.001). Conclusion: Discharge delay for insured patients is a common phenomenon. Hospitals and insurance companies must make combined efforts to control the delay. Further the delay from hospitals must be checked by timely submission of discharge summary and required reports as well as sending a quick reply to the generated queries.
