This study explores the subtleties of Hyundai small vehicle buying behaviour with an emphasis on the districts of Hyderabad and Ranga Reddy. This study attempts to give insights into the variables affecting customers' decisions to purchase Hyundai automobiles by a thorough review of primary and secondary data, including surveys and current literature. The study focuses on the respondents' demographics, their interest in Hyundai vehicles, the variables that influenced their decisions to buy, and the reasons behind their purchases. The survey also assesses brand awareness and consumer satisfaction with Hyundai's after-sales services. Important conclusions show that respondents overwhelmingly preferred Hyundai, with features and performance playing a larger role than price alone. Although overall satisfaction is mediocre, there is space for development in a few specific areas of post-purchase support. The insights acquired provide Hyundai significant implications for improving its competitive position, bolstering customer happiness, and cultivating brand loyalty through focused tactics and advancements in service delivery, despite the study's narrow focus and small sample size.

 Abstract

Background of the study: Caesarean section is a maneuver to deliver the baby through a transabdominal incision in the uterus. At global level the rate of caesarean section is on the rise. India is also experiencing a rapid increase in institutional deliveries. Post operative pain is one of the most common medical complaints and has an increased prevalence amongst post caesarean mothers. Some of this may be due to the prevalence of low back pain in pregnancy and postpartum, with a Swedish study showing 72% experiencing pain during pregnancy and 43% postpartum. Postpartum numbers were lower, at 16%, with increased prevalence among those with a history of back pain, and increased disability associated with weak hip abductors, back extensors, and subjects both low back and pelvic girdle pain, that is pain near the sacroiliac joints and pelvic girdle. Muscle weaknesses in the back and hips have been postulated as a cause for this, and physical therapy showed some benefit. Problem statement: A quasi experimental study to evaluate the effectiveness of posture maintenance on reduction of disability related to pain among post caesarean mothers in selected hospitals, Agartala, West Tripura. Objectives of the study: 1. To assess the level of pain. 2.

 Abstract

The thermal performance of a slab refers to its ability to resist heat transfer. By improving the insulation properties of the slab, we can reduce heat loss, which can lead to energy savings and increased comfort. By incorporating GGBS (Ground Granulated Blast Furnace Slag) and pumice stone into the concrete mix of the hollow slab, we can significantly improve its thermal performance. GGBS is a byproduct of the iron and steel industry and is known for its high thermal resistance and low thermal conductivity. Pumice stone, on the other hand, is a lightweight and porous volcanic rock that provides excellent insulation properties. The combination of GGBS and pumice stone helps to reduce heat transfer through the slab, making it more energy-efficient. This can lead to lower energy consumption for heating and provide higher cooling purposes in buildings. A hollow slab is a type of concrete slab that contains voids or hollow spaces within its cross-section. It is filled with a cavity refers to a type of construction where the slab has voids or hollow spaces within its cross-section. These cavities can be created using various methods, such as using precast hollow blocks or forming voids during the casting process. This design helps reduce the weight of the slab while maintaining its structural integrity. It's often used in buildings to achieve longer spans and decrease material usage. Thermocouple testing in concrete slabs is a great way to identify temperature variations. By placing thermocouples at different points on the slab, you can measure and monitor the temperature changes over time. This helps in evaluating the thermal performance and identifying any potential areas of concern. It's an effective method to ensure the desired temperature control and optimize energy efficiency. By monitoring temperature changes using thermocouples will provide valuable data to assess the success of your experiment and optimize thermal performance. It's an exciting project that combines energy efficiency, sustainability, and improved comfort in building design. This data will provide valuable insights into the thermal performance of the slab and the effectiveness of using GGBS and pumice stone in enhancing insulation properties. It's an essential step in evaluating the success and achieving energy-efficient and sustainable building practices.

 Abstract

It is becoming more widely acknowledged that spirituality and decision-making processes interact and have an impact on mental health. This abstract investigates how spirituality affects mental health and decision-making. A moral compass and increased meaning in decisions are two ways that spirituality, which is frequently associated with values, beliefs, and purpose, can direct decision-making. People who have a solid spiritual foundation typically have higher levels of resilience, coping skills, and psychological health in general. Additionally, spirituality cultivates a sense of interconnectedness that may impact decisions made regarding prosocial and altruistic actions. On the other hand, tension and cognitive dissonance can result from decisions that contradict spiritual beliefs. Developing holistic approaches to personal development and psychological interventions requires an understanding of the subtleties of spirituality's influence on mental health and decision-making.
