A field experiment in a randomized block design was conducted to evaluate 28 Bacillus thuringiensis isolates along with a reference strain HD1 and untreated control against Spodoptera litura in groundnut. Larval population of S. litura per meter row at 3 days after spray (DAS) was lowest (9.0) in plot treated with Bt strain 341. Mean per cent reduction of larval population over pretreatment was maximum (56.83%) in HD1 reference strain and it was followed by the Bt strain 375 (51.45%). Minimum larval population of S. litura (7.0) was observed at 5DAS in HD1 and 375 Bt strains. Mean per cent reduction of larvae over pretreatment was maximum (68.32%) in HD1 reference strain followed by Bt strain 21 (57.27%). Minimum larval population of S. litura (5.0) was recorded at 7DAS in plot treated with Bt strains HD1, 375 and 416. Mean per cent reduction of larvae over pretreatment was highest (77.02%) in HD1 reference strain followed by Bt strain 375 (74.47%). Per cent leaf damage due to S. litura was minimum (12.83%) in plots treated with HD1 reference strain followed by strain 375 (14.06%). Maximum pod yield (3900 kg/ha) was recorded in the plots treated with HD1 reference strain followed by Bt strain 375 (3870.0kg/ha).Keywords

Juvenile Plantar Dermatosis (JPD) known as sweaty sock syndrome. It affects the skin, which becomes scaly and red on the soles of the feet of the children and the young teenagers. A new framework is developed to provide an offline solution for JPD using descriptive and predictive modeling. The symptoms and stages of JPD are classified using clustering and decision tree technique. In clustering technique, the patients’ objects are categorized using symptoms. The decision tree method has been employed for finding the decision rule based on symptoms, which is used for recommendation. The recommendations are useful to the patients those who are affected by the JPD disease.Keywords

During disruptive periods of organizational changes, Organizations tend to retain star performers and other rainmakers for its profitability. Employees are the lifeline of an organization and contribute effectively to its successful running and profit making. The biggest challenge for organizations is to maintain a stable workforce by reducing employee turnover through better benefits and flexible workplace policies which makes results in significant cost savings. The present paper focuses on how employee retention can be a strategic tool for organization profitability.

In today’s global market place where companies seek a competitive edge, a volatile economic climate, demands for constant change and the war for talent, organizations face significant challenges in their pursuit for business success. Today, employees seek short‐term careers in different organizations with the expectation that they will commit for the short‐term and move on from jobs that are not satisfying, or simply use experience gained in one role as a stepping stone to another job (Bates, 2004). Corporations want people to put in extra effort and generate innovative ideas to improve services and save money (Skapinker, 2005”). The present paper explores the relationship between Employee Engagement and Retention.
