The first step in getting ready to handle crisis at the workplace is to
acknowledge that it can happen anywhere and at any time. To effectively deal
with crises, companies should be able to react correctly when such situations
arise. Being prepared for a crisis is about building the capacity of employees
to tackle serious disasters by equipping them with the knowledge on how to
make serious but important decisions that will safely steer the organization
through the storm Human Resources teams must ensure that the strategic plan
takes into account the health, safety and welfare of employees. Through
collaboration with other organizational leaders, HR can assure that the human

Good customer service is the lifeblood of any business. You can
offer promotions and slash prices to bring in as many new customers as you
want, but unless you can get some of those customers to come back, your
business won't be profitable for long.Good customer service is all about
bringing customers back. And about sending them away happy - happy
enough to pass positive feedback about your business along to others, who
may then try the product or service you offer for themselves and in their turn
become repeat customers. If you're a good salesperson, you can sell anything
to anyone once. But it will be your approach to customer service that
determines whether or not you’ll ever be able to sell that person anything else.
The essence of good customer service is forming a relationship with customers
– a relationship that that individual customer feels that he would like to
pursue. How do you go about forming such a relationship? By remembering
the one true secret of good customer service and acting accordingly; "You will
be judged by what you do, not what you say. “I know this verges on the kind
of statement that's often seen on a sampler, but providing good customer
service IS a simple thing. If you truly want to have good customer service, all
you have to do is ensure that your business consistently does the right thing for
its customers.

To assess the distribution and severity of tooth wear among adult
population of Andhra Pradesh. A descriptive cross sectional study was conducted by
trained and calibrated examiner. A stratified random sample of 1611 individuals with
the age of 35-44 years were examined for tooth wear using Smith and Knight tooth
wear index (1984). Descriptive statistics were applied to the data. Prevalence of tooth
wear amounted to 70.62%. The highest frequency of score 1 was found for
mandibular right 1st molar (41.6%) and score 2 for maxillary left central incisor
(20.8%), score 3 for mandibular left 1st molar (6.3%) and score 4 for mandibular left
2nd premolar (7.3%). Occlusal surfaces were most commonly affected with tooth
wear when compared to buccal, lingual and cervical surfaces. It also shows that
occlusal surfaces of maxillary and mandibular anterior teeth were more commonly
affected than the posterior teeth. No tooth wears on the lingual surfaces of posterior
teeth of both the arches. Tooth wear remains a common finding in study population.

Almost 80% of the world’s visual impairment is treatable or preventable. Regardless of this, millions of people are at risk of visual loss due to the lack of eye-care services. The study examined eye care needs of persons with visual impairments in a District Hospital in Ghana, specifically to assess the availability of eye care services, challenges and measures to improve accessibility. A qualitative approach was adopted to interview persons with visual impairments and eye care providers. Purposive sampling was used to select a sample size of 20; 15 visually impaired and 5 health care providers. A semi-structured interview guide was adopted to capture data onto a voice recorder and transcribed into written notes. Thematic content analysis was used to analyse themes generated from the data according to the objectives. The study found that eye care services were available to some extent but accessibility to the services was limited due to inadequate transport fares and poor health insurance coverage. Aids to accompany clients were limited. Poor infrastructure and equipment limited the ability of healthcare providers to offer effective services. The study recommends that outreach services should be encouraged to provide services at the doorstep to majority and refer complex cases to hospital to reduce cost of transportation. The study further recommends that relevant infrastructure and equipment should be provided by government through the Ghana Blind Union to improve eye care services and also to ensure that health insurance policies adequately cover diagnosis, treatment and the provision of assistive devices.
The need to communicate with the other members of the society for
different purposes leaded to the need to learn a foreign language, a second
language. Thus the people who spoke two or more languages have more access on
communication. The easy way to communicate that was as the result of knowing a
foreign language, had a lot of advantages in every field of life. Nowadays speaking
and writing another language is more than a necessity. The following paper treat
the effectiveness of bilingual education as a theoretical concept, how help the
young learners and the benefit in the Albanian education system. The Albanian
education system now days have changed and these are reflected even in accepting
and entering a foreign language to the school system. Classes have pupils/ learners
of different background and teachers use several methods and programs. According
to the level of the classes there are used different programs.

Cutaneous mesenchymal tumors dermal and/or hypodermic are relatively frequent. They are characterised by extreme clinicopathological heterogeneity and dominated by benign tumors. About a series of 126 cases, we have studied the epidemiological, pathological and evolutive profile of these tumors. This is a retrospective study executed at the department of pathology of Moulay Ismail Military Hospital in Meknes-Morocco, between 2014 and 2016. Results: The average age was 41 years-old (15-84 years old). The sex ratio H/F was 1.2. The lower limb was the most frequent location (35%). The surgical pathologic study focused on biopsy material in 100% of cases. 92% of these tumors were benign. They were mainly represented by lipomatous tumors, followed by fibrous and fibro-histiocytic tumors and vascular tumors. 8 % of the tumors were malignant. These were mainly fibrous tumors, followed by vascular tumors. The immunohistochemical study was performed in 11 cases. Surgical treatment was executed in 65% of cases. The evolution was favorable for benign and majority of malignant tumors after a large surgical treatment. One case of death and one case of recidivism were noted. Benign cutaneous mesenchymal tumors have a good prognosis. However, the diagnostic and therapeutic management and the prognostic evaluation of cutaneous sarcomas remain difficult

The industrial revolution is explained in many different ways. It is
explained as a rapid growth of the manufacturing industry, it is explained as the
structural shift in the economy, the shift in which large population moved away
from agriculture sector to the mining and manufacturing sector between mideighteenth and mid-nineteenth centuries. One other explanation is that industrial
revolution is something where there was a continuous advancement in the national
income. There were two industrial revolutions, first industrial revolution stayed
from late eighteenth century to early nineteenth century. Then after 1825, the pace
of the path-breaking inventions slowed down which marked the end of the first
industrial revolution. The major technological developments again picked up in the
late nineteenth century which led to the second industrial revolution. In this paper,
major technological differences and differences in terms of banking and financing
of firms between first and second industrial revolution were analyzed. It was
concluded that technological developments like the invention of power loom and
stream engine and improvement in the technology of iron making became the
major reason behind the first industrial revolution. Technological developments in
the industries of gas lightning, chemicals, glass making, transport machine and the
paper machine played a major role the second industrial revolution. During the first
industrial revolution increase in the number of country banks, the increased
network of the joint and country banks and the coming of Bill-workers changed the
banking and financing of firms. During second industrial revolution emergence of
clearing banks and cheques, declining of bills and the institutions in which people
could deposit their savings emerged which revolutionized the banking and
financing of firms.

Ultrasonography is the most common screening test for cholecystitis and cholelithiasis. It is easy, non invasive, and safe and a highly accurate imaging technique that can also detect associated lesions of the liver, pancreas and common bile duct (CBD). Recent studies have demonstrated that laparoscopic removal of gallbladder may be accomplished with a morbidity and mortality rate comparable to or less than that of traditional open cholecystectomy. The present study was conducted to look for some predictive factors on ultrasonography of gallbladder that can give surgeon some idea about the potential difficulty and complications that may be encountered during the course of laparoscopic cholecystectomy. This study presents analysis of 51 patients of cholelithiasis, requiring elective cholecystectomy from 1st May 2008 to 30th April 2009. The study was conducted in the Department of Surgery and Department of Radio diagnosis, G.R. Medical College, Gwalior (M.P.). The ultrasonography of the patients was done on the day of surgery in the department of Radio diagnosis, G.R. Medical College, Gwalior. The patients were fasting overnight for the maximal distention of the gallbladder. The ultrasonography was done with 3.5 Mhz probe on Diatonic spectra color Doppler ultrasound on B mode, gray scale, real time scan.The mean gallbladder wall thickness in the study was 2.9 mm (maximum - 5.6 mm and minimum – 1.8 mm). There were 8 patients who had gallbladder wall thickness more than 4 mm. There were 7 (13.2%) patients with contracted gallbladder. There were 6 (11.76 %) patients with gallstone impacted at the neck of gallbladder or Hartman's pouch. There were only 2 patients with common bile duct diameter more than 6 mm. Out of total 51 cases 7 (13.72%) cases were converted to open procedure. Significant correlation was found between the independent ultra-sonographic parameters (that is gallbladder wall thickness, contracted gallbladder, stone impaction at the neck of gallbladder) with the difficult laparoscopic cholecystectomy and their subsequent conversion to open cholecystectomy. The most valuable assessment the ultrasound can provide is the gall bladder wall thickness, gall bladder size, CBD diameter and CBD stones and any abnormal anatomy of the biliary tract if present. Thick gallbladder wall is a finding, which may show that more adhesions may be found during surgery.

Many renewable energy-based systems are being used to increase the
utilization of renewable energy as they have huge potential nowadays; the
investigation of the utilization of fuel cells and solar energy in cars are important
where the investigation and understanding of the technical aspects are crucial such as
how the flow of electrons creates direct electric current in both fuel cells and
photovoltaic systems. In this article, a prototype of a car used hydrogen produced on
board by analyzing water. This hydrogen used to operate a fuel cell that generates
electricity capable to run a car. The characteristic curves of the fuel cell were
measured and evaluated. The results show that this type of cars can be promising in
the next few years.
