Aviation industry

The aforementioned paper is an attempt to understand the aviation industry and address its most common problems. This is an industry that traditionally tends to operate on very thin margins. Considering the tremendous pressure that’s been building on them in terms of growth in the frequency of flights, the number of flyers, and high fuel prices, it’s important to sustain what’s under their control, and their clientele qualifies as the most important element. Operational tools help to find the solution to most of the problems faced while running this industry.

In September 2019, there were 3.25 crore active card borrowers, the number has grown at a compounded annual growth rate (CAGR) of 22% over four preceding years. The latest CRIF CreditScape report, released in May, stated that forecasts show that around one million credit cards will be sourced over the next five-six quarters. “Credit cards, once considered a product for the affluent, have expanded to consumers in tier II and III cities. Borrowers opting for a credit card for the first time have increased by three times in four years. Credit cards lead to increased purchasing capacity for consumers, especially millennials, and encourage usage by offering rewards and discounts on e-commerce portals." said Navin Chandani, managing director, and chief executive officer of CRIF High Mark.

A study on applications of operation research in the airline industry

Operations research is the application of scientific and mathematical methods to study the problem-solving and decision-making aspect which is useful for the management of organizations. The discipline of operations research has greatly contributed to the aviation sector. It is one of the fastest-growing sectors globally, adding a lot of value to the economy. This paper is an effort to study and analyze the various 2 problems faced by the airline industry using the applications of operations research. The most common problems are fleet assignment, tail assignment, airline scheduling, airline overbooking, disruption management, airline maintenance planning, demand management, operational performance, and airport deicing. We’ll analyze, review and give suggestions for the operations research tools and models used by various researchers across the world to solve the problems. This paper also talks about the lack of a management system, the efficiency of various airlines in India, minimizing the operational cost in fleet operation, and the evaluation of Brazilian airlines. The data for this research paper has been collected using secondary research, by means of existing research papers, articles, and reliable websites like Statista, economic times, etc.

Thesis

Parental explanatory model and perceived burden of child and adolescent psychiatric disorder

To assess the explanatory model and perceived burden of child and adolescent psychiatric disorder and to study the relationship between them. Observation design was used. Computerized simple random technique was used to recruit 200 subjects after consent. Short explanatory model interview (SEMI) was used to assess the explanatory model and the family intervention burden scale was used to rate the burden of primary care givers. Among 200 subjects, 53.5% and 50.5% have medical model and non medical model respectively. Among the medical model 46.5% have allopathic perspective and 54.5% have complementary and alternative medicine model. Mean burden of primary care giver was 18.86 with SD ±11.08. There is a significant relationship between explanatory model and perceived burden of primary care givers (P=0.025). Assessing and understanding the influence of explanatory model on burden helps in intervening with burden of the primary care givers. Education and support are an essential part of nursing care. It is an effective method for improving the knowledge as well as decreasing burden of child and adolescent psychiatric disorders among primary care givers and will help in increasing adherence to therapeutic regimen.

Effect of Intradialytic Aerobic Exercise on Fatigue in Patients Undergoing Hemodialysis

Fatigue is a common debilitating symptom which remains unrecognized among people with chronic kidney disease with significant impacts on patients’ everyday functioning. The aim of this study was to determine the effect of intradialytic aerobic exercise on fatigue in hemodialysis patients. A Quasi experimental study was carried out among 60 adult hemodialysis patients (30 each in the groups) selected by consecutive sampling technique. The baseline characteristics and pretest fatigue score were assessed for both the groups and the intradialytic aerobic exercise was administered for 8 weeks (three times/week) among the experimental group. Then post intervention I and II fatigue score were assessed in both the groups at end of 4th and 8th week. In Control group, there was no statistically significant difference in fatigue score between pre intervention, post intervention I and II (32.43 ± 7.78, 32.20 ± 7.00 and 31.13 ± 8.44, F=1.29, p = 0.28)). Whereas, in experimental group, there was significant reduction in fatigue score in post intervention I (26.97 ± 8.60) and II (23.57 ± 7.29) than pre intervention (32.20 ± 8.64) at p=0.001. There was significant difference in post intervention I (t=2.58, p= 0.001) and post intervention II (t=3.71, p = 0.001) between control and experimental group. This study shows that intradialytic aerobic exercises is beneficial in reducing fatigue, as a supplementary therapy in hemodialysis patients.
