Case Study

Impact of industrial democracy on job satisfaction, commitment and engagement of employees: A study of Visakhapatnam steel plant

The meaning of ‘Democracy’ resembles a social environment where Governments are of the People, run by the People and run for the People. Similarly, the term ‘Industrial Democracy’ can be understood as Management of Organization is of the employees, by the employees, and for the employees. Enough research has been undertaken in the field of Employee Involvement and its influence on Organizational performance. Many of the Management experts, Researches and Scholars have used the terms Employee Involvement and Industrial Democracy interchangeably. However, Employee involvement is a mere scheme adopted by the Organizations to make their employees take part in making decisions that affect their jobs, job conditions and job environment. The idea behind this scheme is to utilize their creative and innovative potential and also to ensure hassle-free implementation of decisions since they are generated by a team where the actual performers (employees) are also a part. Making employees take part in decision-making is proven to make them feel important, satisfied and committed to the Organizational goals. On the other hand, the concept of Industrial Democracy provides answers to the questions – Why should people involve? What makes them involve? What benefit they do anticipate? How they should involve? and so on. Thus, Industrial Democracy encompasses all aspects of HRM-related to employee welfare, Industrial relations, etc. The present study is aimed at examining the impact of Industrial Democracy on employees’ Job satisfaction, Commitment and Engagement as they are promoters of enhanced production and productivity of the organizations.

Design and modification of smart stick for visually impaired with stick finder

To improve navigation of visually disabled people we have designed an innovative stick using Arduino. This stick uses advanced technology to navigate with ease. The stick which we have modified is lighter in weight, affordable and easy to handle. This stick first uses ultrasonic sensors and detects obstacles. On sensing obstacles, the sensor passes this data to Arduino. Arduino uses C programming. It then processes this data and calculates the distance of obstacles from the person. If an obstacle is not close to the person then the circuit stays steady. If the obstacle is close to the person then the circuit sends a signal to the sound buzzer and vibrator. As the distance between person and obstacle gets reduced the sound of buzzer and vibrator goes on increasing. This system is even made for blind-deaf people as they have only sense as a way to understand any process with the help of vibration they can sense the obstacle. This system has one more feature i.e. A stick finder. This helps the blind person find the stick where they might have kept it with the help of a remote. Pressing the remote button sounds a buzzer on the stick which helps the person to find the stick. Thus, this system allows for obstacle detection as well as finding sticks misplaced by visually disabled people.

Design and fabrication of solar air cooler cum room heater by using Peltier Effect

It is the idea of producing a cooling and heating effect in one single chamber that shifts from its maximum temperature to its minimum temperature just by adjusting a simply operated switching button. This type of device can find a wide variety of applications in medicinal, food and beverage transportation commercially and also for household purposes. Travelers can make the best use of it. This can work either with solar power or rechargeable batteries and Peltier effect Design and Fabrication done on solar air cooler cum heater.

Synthesis and anti-inflammatory activity of some 2-(3’-aminesubstituted)-7- hydroxyl-4H-1-benzopyran-4-one derivatives

A series of 2-(3’-aminesubstituted)-7- hydroxyl-4H-1-benzopyran-4-one amine derivatives has been synthesized by condensation of 2,4-Dihydroxyacetophene (1.40 ml) and 3-Chlorobenzaldehyde (0.01 mole) through Claisen-Schmidt condensation reaction. Novel flavone derivatives were access for anti-inflammatory activity by using carrageenan induced rat paw edema method. Among the synthesized compounds (t, v, w, k) shows good anti-inflammatory activity comparable to reference drug (Celecoxib).

Snake robot for metal detection

Robots have been and will always be a research topic. This paper illustrates the working of a Snake robot which is constructed by chaining together a number of independent segments which makes it hyper redundant. Snake robot can maneuver through thin spaces due to its shape and hence very helpful at places where human reachability is difficult. This robot moves by avoiding the obstacles in its path. In this project work, we have included a metal detection sensor in this robot so that it can be used in a variety of applications like landmine detection for military purposes. The communication to the robot is done via Bluetooth and operated from an android phone. With further innovations, the snake robot can be used in a large number of applications.

Advanced Medical Chatbot based on named data networking

The aim of a chatbot is to make human and machine interaction possible. In this scenario, the chatbot is a medical consultant between the patients and the doctors. For this purpose, there is a need of the Human-Computer Interaction(HCI) research which includes study and implementation intended for human use. So we design a system that uses Artificial Intelligence Markup Language(AIML) and Natural Language Processing (NLP). And for the purpose of communication needs, we use Name Data Networking(NDN) instead of the typical IP protocol. NDN provides two essential properties which are its Consumer Driven Nature in Communication and the privacy it provides. The motivation behind the idea is that much of the needed answers are available on the internet about the medication which the chatbot provides in a friendly manner and if there are serious issues provide consultations as well as appointments with the Doctor as early as possible.
