The purpose of the study is to explore the moderating role of Growth Need Strength (GNS) on the relationship between Perceived Organisational Support (POS), Perceived External Prestige (PEP) and job satisfaction in the healthcare industry of Pakistan. The data was collected from nurses working in the public sector hospitals in Pakistan. After a successful confirmatory data analysis, a multivariate regression analysis was utilised to interpret the results. The results indicate that there is a positive and statistically significant effect of POS and GNS on job satisfaction. However, no statistically significant association is found between PEP and job satisfaction. The findings also reveal that GNS positively moderates the relationship between POS and job satisfaction. Healthcare organisations can utilise these results as a basis for future planning and decision making to retain nurses and to improve their job satisfaction level. These organisations should give preference to employees with high growth needs.

The purpose of this study was to assess the current levels of sectoral concentration and regional specialisation of Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) in Russia using Krugman’s Indexes of concentration and specialisation. The study used data from the official statistical observation of activities of all Russian SMEs for the year 2015, representing 82 Russian regions and 13 types of economic activity (sectors). A high level of SME concentration was observed in fishing, mining and quarrying and agricultural sectors. The concentration of SMEs in manufacturing is much higher than in the services sector. The regional specialisation of SMEs is relatively small in Russia. Specialisation is above the national average in the regions where agricultural SMEs dominate and in Moscow, where real estate SMEs are widely distributed. These results could be of interest to entrepreneurs when choosing the type of sectors to engage in and policymakers in promoting SMEs in particular economic sectors and regions of Russia.

The National Energy Market (NEM) introduced in 1998 sought to connect the electrically linked states and territories of eastern and southern Australia in a system which embraced the generation, transmission, distribution and marketing of electric power. The ‘market’ unbundled the vertically integrated public enterprises then operating at state and territory levels and substituted a complex system comprising several hundred entities functioning through all phases of the industry and demanding significant coordination and regulation to ensure effective operation. This article looks first at the structural arrangements, and examines private, public and public-private elements of the mix. It then considers a set of public interest tests for the industry first proposed as early as 1956, and asks whether the NEM arrangements satisfy those tests. It concludes that they do not.

Smartphones have become an indispensable part of daily life of GenerationY. Currently, Generation-Y accounts for the biggest proportion of the Malaysian population, and they are the main users of smartphones. The main objective of this research is to determine the factors influencing the smartphone purchase decisions of Generation-Y. Based on a literature review and survey, this study finds seven factors that influence smartphone purchase decisions: brand, convenience, dependency, price, social influence, product feature and social needs. The research used a questionnaire with a 5-point Likert scale for data collection and a sample of 152 respondents (Generation-Y) from the Kuching region of Malaysia. We find evidence that social influence, product feature, and brand image have significant positive impacts on the smartphone purchasing decisions. Other factors, such as convenience, dependency, price and social needs were statistically insignificant.

Transportation plays a vital role in every manufacturing industry as it is one of the major activities
that binds the whole supply chain and accounts for customer satisfaction with the right delivery time.
Hence, bringing in an optimized transport routing on the grounds of time taken and cost of
transportation is very important. In this paper, a cost optimization model for transportation of goods of
a flavors and fragrance company is presented. The problem was a linear programming problem and
was solved using an EXCEL solver. A savings of Rs. 765,000 per annum was estimated comparing
the cost of transportation in the new model to that of the previous model.

In order to acquire and preserve herbarium specimens, Cleistanthus collinus need additional precautions
for their protection. Aryl naphthalene is found in plants and has a wide range of physiological effects. A
soxhlet extractor is being used to study the extraction of lignan-derived compounds from plants.
Alcoholic extract and defated petroleum ether are efficient solvents because they are optimised for
polarity. Extracting chemicals from plants requires a precise measurement of the solvent volume (1gm per
15 ml). Extraction time for each solvent must be determined.

An exchanged capacitor bidirectional DC-DC converter with a high advance up/step-down voltage gain is proposed for electric vehicles (EVs) with a half breed vitality source framework (HESS). The converter displayed has the benefits of being a basic circuit, a diminished number of parts, a wide voltage-gain extend, a low voltage stress, and a shared opinion. Likewise, the synchronous rectifiers permit zero voltage exchanging (ZVS) turn-on and turn-off without requiring any additional equipment, and the proficiency of the converter is improved. A 300W model has been created which approves the wide voltage-gain scope of this converter utilizing a variable low-voltage side (40V-100V) and to give a consistent high-voltage side (300V). The greatest effectiveness of the converter is 94.45% in step-down mode and 94.39% in step-up mode. The test results additionally approve the possibility and the adequacy of the proposed topology.

Another zero-voltage and zero-current-exchanging (ZVZCS) full-connect (FB) pulsewidth balance (PWM) converter is proposed to improve the presentation of the recently exhibited ZVZCS FB PWM converters. By including an optional dynamic cinch and controlling the brace switch reasonably, ZVS (for driving leg switches) and ZCS (for slacking leg switches) are accomplished without including any lossy parts or the saturable reactor. Numerous preferences including basic circuit topology, high effectiveness, and ease make the new converter alluring for high-voltage and high-power (>10 kW) applications. The rule of activity is clarified and dissected. The highlights and structure contemplations of the new converter are likewise represented and checked on a 1.8-kW 100-kHz protected entryway bipolar transistor (IGBT)- based exploratory circuit.

The main aim of this project tis solar pv-battery & diesel generator-based EV charging station. This paper employs a PV (photovoltaic), a power storage unit, a DG generator, & a grid-based EV charge station (CS) to continuously load isolated, grid-connected & DG-connect modes. This project involves an energy & electronic energy storage plant. In this project, the PI controller is changed to a Fractional Order PID (FOPID) controller in the DG set, which can regulate the tension & frequency. The charging station is primarily intended to recharge the electric car battery (EV) with a solar PV & BES range. However, the charging station is intellectually electricity coming from the grid or DG in case of an empty storage battery & of the unavailable production of Solar PV array (Diesel Generator). The electricity in the DG collection is however drawn in such a way that it frequently works with an 80 to 80 percent charge in all charging situations to achieve optimal fuel efficiency. In conjunction with the storage battery, the charger also handles the power & frequency of the generator without the mechanical speed control. In addition, the PCC (Common Coupling Point) tension synchronizes for continuous loading with grid/generator voltage. The charging station leads the automobile to the active/reactive transmission of the grid, the vehicle to its domestic & the vehicle to the transference of vehicle power in order to optimize its operating efficiency. With Mat lab/Simulink software the operation of the charging station is validated.

The main aim of this project is Phase Shift Pulse Width Modulation (PSPWM) based Switched Capacitor Multi Level Inverter (SCMLI) topology with a reduced number of switches for AC power distribution system. The output voltage and current waveforms from the various PV sources are being produced by the power electronics converters. In recent years, PV applications have concentrated on the delivery of high-frequency AC electricity. With DC/AC SCMLIs, for example, the number of power conversion stages and components is greatly reduced resulting in an increased rate of conversion. A new PSPWM based SCMLI topology with fewer switches and a self-balanced floating capacitor (FC) voltage is proposed in this project. A single dc source and three dc sources make up the suggested topology. With the proposed design, a voltage output (Vo) that is twice as high as the input voltage can be generated (Vin). Compared to other topologies recently proposed, this one has a faster discharge time. In addition, the voltage stress on switches is les in relation to the load voltage. The proposed simulation results are studied in MATLAB/SIMULINK environment

Switched Reluctance Motors (SRMs) are becoming more popular in electric drive development due to their advantages and environmental concerns. In terms of development, the SRM has a prominent position because to its ease of use, robustness and cheap cost. It is possible to use a sensorless approach to operate SRM, however this method is more complicated and has a greater number of limitations. Sensor-based rotor position detection, on the other hand, has several benefits, despite the fact that it requires hardware to be attached to the shaft. According to the findings of this study, digital signal controllers may be used to create a control strategy. A solution to the wide-range speed and stationary operating issues may be found in this approach. On-off times of switches may be adjusted through software as well. Simulators and tests were used to confirm the findings
