Review of Professional Management- A Journal of New Delhi Institute of Management, Vol 6, No 2 (2008), Pagination: 66-70Abstract
Many of the Indian organizations are flexing their muscles in the global economy after becoming convinced of their ability to compete globally. The Indian companies have announced more than 661 foreign acquisitions in 2007. Continuing this trend, more and more Indian organisations are shopping abroad for their suppliers of technology, materials, talent, capital etc. In the current Indian economy, private as well as public sectors are becoming more and more aggressive in acquiring foreign customers and markets. As more and more Indian managements are setting out to create global footprints, Indian managers and CEOs are coming under the scanner. Does their Indian DNA allow them to perform effectively in an alien culture? Can they blend Indian management practices and Indian values seamlessly with European, American and Eastern practices? Fierce competition is forcing Indian companies in India also to work to global standards of efficiency, productivity and customer service. But is the Indian manager equipped?The paper therefore, attempts to look closer at the human dynamics of the Indian journey addressing various strategic dimensions related to the globalisation journey being undertaken by Indian organisations.
- M-Mode Echocardiographic Reference Values in Pantja Goats
Abstract Views :158 |
PDF Views:1
Materials and Methods: A total of 18, clinically healthy, adult Pantja goats of either sex, aged 2-4 years and weighing 10-44 kg were included in the study. Echocardiographic examination was performed in the standing unsedated animal. All measurements were made from the right parasternal long-axis left ventricular outflow tract view of the heart. The following parameters were recorded: Left ventricular internal diameter at diastole and systole, interventricular septal thickness at diastole and systole, left ventricular posterior wall (LVPW) thickness at diastole and systole, end diastolic and systolic volumes, stroke volume, fractional shortening, ejection fraction, percent systolic thickening of interventricular septum, percent systolic thickening of LVPW, cardiac output, left atrial (LA) diameter at diastole and systole, aortic (AO) ischolar_main diameter at diastole and systole, LA/AO, LA posterior wall thickness at diastole and systole, left ventricular ejection time, DE amplitude, EF slope, AC interval and e-point to septal separation.
Results: This study demonstrated specific reference ranges of M-mode echocardiographic parameters and indices in healthy Pantja goats. Normal echocardiographic values obtained in Pantja goats were quite different from other goat breeds. Gender had no influence on echocardiographic parameters, while high correlations were found between most echocardiographic parameters and BW.
Conclusion: The echocardiographic values obtained in the study may serve as a reference for future studies in this breed, for cardiovascular disease diagnosis and for utilizing the goat as a model for cardiac disorders in humans.

The development of ceramic technology in India can be traced back to a hoary past. Highly sophisticated potteries like black slipped ware (BSW), black-andred ware (BRW), painted grey ware, grey ware and northern black polished ware (NBPW) were present in proto-historic and early historic times (circa 2000–300 BCE). The present communication aims to throw light on the technology of one of the important wares, viz. BSW especially from sites located in the Vindhya–Ganga region. Through analytical examination of the ware, the authors propose to fill in a lacuna in the field of ancient ceramics.Keywords
