Industrial growth and environmental degradation

Abstract: The Industrial Revolution began in Britain in the 1700 s, and spread to the rest of the world, beginning with the United States. The use of machinery and factories led to mass production, which in turn led to the development of numerous environmental hazards. The effects on the environment would only be seen clearly years later. While the Industrial Revolution was the cause of positive change for the industrial world, there is no question that it has wreaked havoc on the environment. The depletion of natural resources, the carbon emissions, pollution and human health problems that have resulted directly from the Industrial Revolution's accomplishments have only been disastrous for the world environment. These articles identifies the environmental consequences of industrial growth, and provide suggestions against environmental degradation, including the use of clean technologies and environmentally sound production techniques, with special reference to the developing world.

Higher education in the era of globalization

Abstract: The changes to which higher education all over the globe increasingly is exposed, are complex and varied, even contradictory, and the comprehensive concept of globalisation are far from clear and well defined. Nevertheless, the concept of globalisation indicates that the various changes are somehow interrelated and creating new forms of interdependencies between actors, institutions and states. It is assumed that globalization promises dramatic and rewarding change to the higher education systems, of societies, which are relatively stable in their political, social and institutional makeup, while for the others, it may threaten the very stability needed to build well performing higher education system. It seems that the Higher Education is undergoing dramatic change worldwide and that the early 21 st century is the “perfect storm” of external pressure and internal responses. Higher education has now become central to the changes sweeping through emerging nations, in which worldwide networking and exchange are reshaping social, economic and cultural life. In some respects globalization in higher education is an alternative to the old internationalization, even a rival to it. Yet they also do not necessarily exclude each other.

Impact of opd waiting time on patient satisfaction

Abstract: OPDs are described as the face of any hospital, as it is often one of the first points of contact between patients and the hospital. The impression about a hospital’s OPD often influences the patients’ sensitivity towards the hospital. Therefore it is essential to ensure that OPD services provide an excellent experience to the customers. With the increase in the outpatient volume and patient flow, there may be an increase in the blockages, which in turn, increases the waiting time. Patients perceive long waiting times as barriers to actually obtaining services. Reducing waiting time and making sure that patients receive the right care at the right time, will have a significant beneficial effect on the quality of care patients receive. In turn, this will improve patient outcomes and reduce the cost of care. A study was carried out in a Tertiary Care Hospital in Pune to determine the average time spent by the patient in the OPD, to identify the factors leading to high waiting time and assess the patients experience regarding the Out Patient service provided by the hospital. It was found that the average time a patient spends in the OPD was 60mins. The major bottleneck causing this high waiting time was found to be the waiting time for consultation which was 40 minutes on an average. Information gathered during the survey also revealed that 33% patients waited for 30- 60mins for the doctor while 32% patients waited for over an hour. This was one of the major causes of discontent among the OPD patients to which a fall in OPD numbers can beattributed.
