Product harm crises affects consumers’ attitudes, beliefs and future intentions about the product. Researchers stress to know how consumers respond and attribute blame for product harm crisis, role of media, its spillover effect and how the managers analyze and respond to product harm crises. Based on the review, it is concluded that the role of demographic factors in various aspects of product harm crises is a neglected area. A comprehensive research is needed to understand how the demographic characteristics of consumers, managers and firm owners affect the reaction towards product harm crisis.

Pruning and paclobutrazol (PBZ) has been found effective for induction of early and regular flowering by temporary checking in vegetative growth and through biochemical and hormonal changes. A study was conducted to evaluate the effects of pruning (current or previous season’s vegetative growth) and PBZ (3 ml/m canopy diameter) on tree vigour, flowering and hormonal contents of three mango cv. Amrapali. Trees pruned to 50 % current season growth and with application of paclobutrazol (T1) recorded less plant height 61.5%), trunk girth (35.3%), canopy spread (35.3%), shoot length (26.5%) and shoot girth (14.9%). Early flowering was observed in PBZ treated trees pruned to current season’s growth which resulted in advanced fruit harvest by 14.7 followed by and 16.3 days in unpruned trees with PBZ application. The high levels of Phenols, flavonoids and abscisic acid (ABA), and low levels of gibberellic acid (GA3) were recorded following PBZ application in trees pruned to current season’s growth and unpruned trees compared to control. From the study, it was apparent that the pruning of trees to current season’s growth and PBZ application are beneficial for regulating tree size, early flowering and advancing fruit harvest in mango and such effects are mediated through increases in ABA and decreases in GA3 contents.

This research aimed to investigate the structure influence of municipal sewage sludge on mechanical dewatering characteristics. In order to create and understanding of the research aim, it explored the structure and microstructure characteristics of the municipal sewage sludge. This covered the sludge dewatering technology and how it is used among municipalities. The types of sludge used in a typical municipal wastewater treatment plant were examined to highlight the impact of sludge characterization during dewatering in a number of ways. Another area of concern that was explored during the research was the effect of the microstructure of sewage sludge on mechanical dewatering characteristics. In this case, it was identified that the structure of flocculation could be examined using two size scales: microstructure and macrostructure. As observed, microstructure is the organization of the components of flocculation such as individual organisms while macrostructure is generalization of the floc. Microstructure was put in focus, and its impacts on mechanical dewatering characteristics were studied.it was noted that flocculants played a significant role in sludge processing. For this process to be successful there needed to be increased dry solid content of the sludge. It required the use of flocculants to aid in keeping the excess sludge that is flocculated in the dewatering unit. A final feasibility discussion of selection mechanical dewatering methods by microstructure of sewage sludge was observed. In this section, the various mechanical dewatering methods and equipment were put in focus and explored in depth. Their benefits and weaknesses were examined and the relation to the microstructure of the sewage sludge identified. The collected information narrowed down to a conclusion that linked the influence of the structure of municipal sewage sludge on mechanical characteristics. As noted from the various mechanical dewatering methods, the sludge structure during dewatering had significant impact on the success of the process and performance of equipment during dewatering.

The aim of this study was to examine the effect of three month goalball sport on physical performance of visually impaired students. 38 visually impaired male students attending to the primary school were participated the study. 19 of them were separated as an exercise group (age; 13.15±1.59 years) and the rest 19 subject were separated as a control group (age; 13.30±1.43years) randomly. Exercise group do goalball sport three days a week for three months. Before and after the exercise program some physical performance tests were applied to all 38 students. To measure the physical performance; audial reaction time, 10 m running time, standing long jump, grip strength, vertical jump, and flexibility values were measured. The physical performance measured before the start of the three month exercise did not show meaningful difference between two groups (p>0.05). But when the values after three month were compared, it was found that audial reaction time, standing long jump, grip strength, 10 m speed running time, vertical jump and flexibility levels of the group doing goalball exercise was statistically better than that of the control group (p<0.01 and p<0.05). As a conclusion it has been seen that the goalball sport enhance the physical performance of visually-impaired students.

Behçet’s disease is a systemic autoimmune disorder characterized by multi organ involvement. Vascular involvement is one of the most important complications and it includes arterial and venous thrombosis and arterial aneurysm. Aortic aneurysm is an important problem due to mortality rates, tendency to recurrence and aortic dissection. \nHere, we present a case of lymphadenitis mimicking abdominal aortic dissection in a patient diagnosed with Behçet\'s disease.

In present time obesity has attained a major focus of research as one of the nutritional \nproblems in developed and developing countries. In India this number is increasing day \nby day due to changing life style in all age group. In this study the prevalence of \noverweight and obesity were estimated from 105 school going Bengali preadolescent \nchildren from middle income-group urban families of Midnapore town, West Bengal,\nIndia. They were divided into control, overweight and obese group of each sex according \nto the respective BMI percentile value. Anthropometric variables, physiological \nvariables, and several motor quality variables were measured. Result obtained revealed\nthat the prevalence of obesity was 18.8% among boys and 23% among girls. The obese \ngroup showed increased value of anthropometric parameters. There were significant \ndifferences of all of the variables in between control, overweight and obese girls and boys \nexcept hand grip strength of both sexes and standing long jump of boys. Product moment \ncorrelation showing all variables were significantly correlate with BMI and percent of fat. \nObese girls showing higher values of anthropometric parameters and lower values of \nphysiological and motor parameters in comparison with obese boys. Thus this developing \nurban community is in a growing concern for their growing proportion of obese \nindividual as they are under a substantial handicap in physical performance.
