Impact of Culture on Business Ethics
Businesses in global world are interconnected with each other and practices at organizations for the compliance of business purpose. Organization cannot survive in isolation. The survival of organization depends upon the integration of business codes with the societal ethics and combinely format into an adjoined ethical practices prevailing saturate in market. Business ethics are gaining importance day by day which results into more saturation of business practices. The area of focus in this study is to investigate the effect of culture on ethics. Results proved in light of prior research that culture significantly effect on business ethics. Therefore it is very important need to give awareness to the employees so that firms can follow the ethics codes for doing business in good ethical ways.

Effect of Supplementation of Bambara Groundnut on the quality of biscuits
Biscuits are confectionery dried to very low moisture content. According to Fayemi (1981), biscuit is defined as a small thin crisp cake made from unleavened dough. Biscuits are an important baked product in human diet and are usually eaten with tea and are also used as weaning food for infants.

The Impact of Advertising on Fund Flows in Alternative Distribution Channels
Existing literature demonstrates a positive relationship between advertising and subsequent mutual fund flows. While this relationship is hardly unexpected, it has only been addressed in a limited fashion. This work seeks to explore the issue in greater depth by examining both fixed income and equity funds, by separating load and no-load funds, and by using a richer empirical model. Our findings support the accepted relationship in general, but indicate that the response by investors differs between fund types (equity vs. fixed income) and the direct (no-load) and broker-sold (load) markets. Finally, we provide evidence that earlier findings are contingent upon the sample of funds selected as well as the empirical specification.

The Role of Ambidexterity in Marketing Strategy Implementation: Resolving the Exploration-Exploitation Dilemma
Formulating consistent marketing strategies is a difficult task, but successfully implementing them is even more challenging. This is even more pertinent as marketing strategies quite often incorporate inherent conflicts between major breakthroughs and consolidation. Consequently, marketers need to balance exploratory and exploitative strategies.

Characterization of Nanopowders by X-ray Diffractions Analysis
XRD is a techniques that is widely used in the Nano technology. Application range from phase identifications qualification and determination of crystallite and particle size, all on Nano scale level XRD have typical advantage over others techniques such as the non destructive nature, averaging of properties, proper statistic and fast measurement. Nano technology or nano particle play a important role in many industries. As the particle become smaller their properties can change in mysterious and useful ways one way to produce nano particles is to reduce the size of bigger particle by grinding.

Robotic Gripping Systems Design Guidelines
This paper describes guidelines for the design of grippers for use in modular manufacturing workcells. Gripper design is an important and often overlooked aspect of the design of a complete assembly system. Here, guidelines are presented which can be applied to a wide variety of grippers. Guidelines are divided into three major categories: those that improve system throughput, those that increase system reliability, and those that decrease cost. Designs of several grippers, currently being used in a modular manufacturing workcell, are presented as examples of the application of the guidelines to real world problems.

Remote Learning for the Manipulation and Control of Robotic Cells
This work proposes an approach to remote learning of robotic cells based on internet and simulation
tools. The proposed approach, which integrates remote-learning and tele-operation into a generic
scheme, is designed to enable students and developers to set-up and manipulate a robotic cell remotely.
Its implementation is based on a dedicated website that supports a full three-dimensional simulation
and a manual online control of the cell. The website provides high flexibility for making changes in
the design of the work area, independent of the user’s location. The website can be used to further
integrate full-scale remote learning labs in collaboration with other organizations.

EVALUATION OF AN OPERATING THEATER DESIGN BY A SOFTWARE PROGRAM (OTDA: OPERATING THEATER DESIGN ANALYZER)
This paper provides a complete comprehensive integrated paperless database application called OTDA “Operating Theaters Design Analyzer “this application is used to ensure compliance with more than eight international standard integrated with each other. Also, we can use this application for applying and receiving many of famous accreditation for hospitals as, “ ISO 9001:2008 “International Organization for Standardization”[1], JCI “Joint Commission International”[2], LEED “Leadership in Energy & Environmental Design” [3] also, we can apply many of latest trends in operating theater design, it helps the owners of health care facilities or those who are interested in this area to identify and solve the problems in the operating theatre design, providing the maximum benefit for maximum number of patients arriving to the operating theatre, better quality for the patient care, patient safety. Both the present as well as future needs will be kept in mind while planning. The experiment shows that the evaluation of planning an operating theater can be done in less than 30 minute. This approach can be effectively used in real world in hospitals, leading to significant improvements.
KEYWORDS :
Evaluation of operating theater design, planning of operating theater, New trends in operating theater design, operating theater design phases.
