The purpose of this research is to assess the effective leadership as specified in Hersey and Blanchard's Situational Leadership Theory (SLT). This research reviews major theories of leadership. This research presents the application of the Hersey-Blanchard Situational Leadership Model in the corporate world. With the help of this research, we are able to draw an inference about the leadership style of Area Service Manager (ASM) in the Service department of a mobile company. The nationality of the ASMs, along with their leadership style, was also described for a better understanding. The impact of the leadership styles is also observed and studied in detail.

Ecthyma gangrenosum (EG) is pathognomonic of invasive Pseudomonas infection or septicemia. It is characterized by pustules that rapidly evolve into hemorrhagic blister with central necrosis with the surrounding erythema. It is more often seen in immunocompromised patients but can be seen in healthy neonate also. We report the case of a 4-day-old neonate presenting with Pseudomonas bacteremia and EG.

There have been few case reports showing association of vitamin B12 deficiency with infantile spasms. We planned this study to see if there was an association of serum vitamin B12 deficiency in children with development of infantile spasms. Cases included children with infantile spasms of ages 6 months to 3 years. The controls were children in the same age group who had global developmental delay but no history of epileptic spasms. Mean serum vitamin B12, serum homocysteine, and urinary methylmalonic acid levels were measured in both groups and compared. Children with infantile spasms had lower mean serum vitamin B12 levels (354.1 pg/mL; standard deviation 234.1 pg/mL) as compared to children with global developmental delay without spasms (466.7 pg/mL; standard deviation 285.5 pg/mL) (P value < .05). Mean serum homocysteine level (13.9 vs 7.8 μmol/L, P = .02) and mean urinary methylmalonic acid level (68.1 mmol/mol of creatinine vs 26.1 mmol/mol of creatinine, P = .03) were elevated in children with infantile spasms than in controls. Fourteen children (35.0%) with infantile spasms were vitamin B12 deficient compared with 3 (7.50%) controls (P = .005). Thus, vitamin B12 deficiency may have an association with infantile spasms. More studies are needed before recommending routine measurement of serum B12 levels in children with infantile spasms. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The Steel Industry in India is one of the core industries & over a century old & it is expected to become the second largest producer of crude steel in 2015-2016 as the GDP of India begins to become two fold. The Steel sector in India contributes nearly 2% of the country's GDP and employees over 600,000 people. India is currently the World's fourth largest producer of crude steel & is expected to become the second largest producer of steel by 2020. Moreover, Steel plays an important role in the development of an economy and henceforth the per capita consumption of steel is generally accepted as a yardstick to measure the level of socio-economic development and living standards of its countrymen. Keeping the production & efficiency of Steel production in mind, this project report deals with maximizing the satisfaction of the employees and boosting their morale so that the efficiency of the workforce in the Steel Plant can increase & the production can become maximized. As the efficiency of the workforce is maximized by increasing their satisfaction and morale, hence the production can be increased, resulting in optimization of resources & of yielding a great output. This project highlights the importance of workforce in the Steel Plant at Tata Steel Processing & Distribution Ltd, Faridabad. And deals with motivating the morale of the workforce, thereby resulting in higher efficiency and output. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
