Review-Value Stream Mapping to Increase Productivity
Abstract: Value stream mapping (VSM) is one of the predominant tools of lean methodology to identify waste in production, business and manufacturing by recognizing and removing redundant activities. This map helps us to detect the redundant activity in the entire process line by which we can eliminate it. The existing process steps are scrutinized to reduce the process steps up to the fewest necessary steps. By the consequence, redundant time will …

Dyslipidaemia and its Association with Fasting versus Non Fasting Lipid Profile Values
Abstract: Lipid profile is a panel of blood tests used as a screening tool for dyslipidaemia. Dyslipidaemia is defined as disturbances of cholesterol and triglyceride levels and recognized as risk factor for cardiovascular diseases. It includes total cholesterol, low density lipoproteins (LDL), high density lipoproteins (HDL), very low density lipoproteins (VLDL) and triglycerides. This study assesses the prevalence of dyslipidaemia among apparently healthy individuals in physically fit defence service personnel and …

Practicing Economy of Nature through Traditional Rice Variety Conservation: A Case Study from West Bengal, India
Abstract: AbstractTraditional rice varieties (TRVs), continue to be cultivated defying the allurement of high-profits from cultivating high yielding varieties. The reasons why TRVs are still cultivated, withstanding extreme pressures leading to disappearance of many TRVs are interesting, especially for their associated non-market values. This study documents 50 TRVs being cultivated by farmers (n= 488) in three districts of West-Bengal, followed by a criterion-based analysis using UPGMA algorithm applied with Bray-Curtis similarity-index …

Evaluating the Role of Platelet Indices, with a Focus on Immature Platelet Fraction (IPF), in Differentiating Hyper-Destructive and Hypo-Productive Thrombocytopenia: A Study from Ludhiana, Punjab, India
Abstract: Background: Thrombocytopenia, characterized by a reduction in platelet count, is commonly observed in clinical settings. Its etiology can be broadly classified into hyper-destructive thrombocytopenia, where platelets are destroyed at an accelerated rate, and hypo-productive thrombocytopenia, where platelet production is impaired. Differentiating between these two causes is essential for effective management. The Immature Platelet Fraction (IPF) has emerged as a promising non-invasive diagnostic tool to distinguish these causes. Objectives: The primary …

Introduction to Statistical Tests of Significance
Abstract: Hypothesis examination is the process in which we compare between two differing hypotheses. i.e. the null hypothesis H0 and the alternative hypothesis. As the null hypothesis is examined, a choice is either correct or incorrect. An incorrect conclusion can be produced in two methods: We can deny the null hypothesis once it is true (Type I error) or we cannot succeed to eliminate the null hypothesis when it is incorrect …
