The prime goal of the study is to understand the concept of entrepreneurial orientation (EO) of the technical institutions in Odisha. Further, this study tries to measure and validate the scale of EO developed by Miller, Covin, & Slevin (1989). Data from 397 respondents, who are basically the employees of the technical institutions, are collected to test the convergent and discriminant validity of the scale. In order to develop a measurement model, an exploratory factor analysis, followed by a confirmatory factor analysis, is deployed. The scale is found to have strong construct validity and the measurement model of the three underlying constructs – innovativeness, proactiveness and risk-taking developed by Miller, Covin, & Slevin (1989) – shows a good model fit.Keywords

Diabetic foot ulcers (DFUs) are potentially mortifying complications in need of multidisciplinary endeavour. Imbalance of harmony in glucose homeostasis causes hyperglycemic status which in turn leads to activation of certain metabolic pathways subsequently that lead to development of vascular insufficiency, nerve damages headed by ulceration in lower extremity due to plantar pressures and foot deformity. The standard of care for DFUs consists of several conventional treatments such as, daily wound care dressings, off loading, infection control, glucose control and adequate Perfusion etc. Still the reported healing rate varied between 20.0% and 46.2%.So some newly invented therapies such as negative pressure therapy, topical therapies, hyperbaric oxygen therapy, growth factors, and other antibiotic therapies took upper hand over the conventionally used medications for the treatment of diabetic foot infections. These new therapies also bring about new opportunities for DFU patients. In this review our efforts have been devoted to summarize the various treatments available along with possible mechanism of action for the effective treatment of diabetic foot ulcers.Keywords
