|
| Subject Category |
Hotel Management
|
| Abstract |
Food wastage is an emerging threat to the environment, economy, and society at the large-scale catering establishments. This research aims to assess the awareness, quantification measures, and main reasons behind food wastage among 70 CSHM students working at different catering establishments in India. Through the use of structured questionnaire and rigorous econometrics analysis like association of variables through chi-square test, Spearman's rank correlation (? = 0.434, p < 0.001), and ordinary least squares regression (Adj-R² = 0.118), it is evident that overproduction and lack of proper demand forecasting constitute the main reasons for food wastage, while systematic quantification measures lack consistency.

| Subject Category |
management
|
| Abstract |
Scholarship schemes are essential for improving access to higher education by reducing financial barriers for students from diverse socio-economic backgrounds. However, inadequate awareness and procedural challenges often limit their effective utilization. This study examines the awareness, perceptions, and satisfaction of college students regarding scholarship schemes in Coimbatore District. A descriptive research design was adopted, and primary data were collected from 600 Arts and Science college students using a structured questionnaire through stratified random sampling. Data were analysed using percentage analysis, Chi-square test, Pearson correlation, multiple regression, and ANOVA. The findings reveal that although students possess moderate awareness of scholarship schemes, gaps remain in understanding eligibility criteria, application procedures, and documentation requirements. Institutional support, digital accessibility, and simplified application procedures significantly influence scholarship awareness and satisfaction. The study recommends strengthening awareness programmes, improving digital communication, and simplifying scholarship administration to enhance access to higher education.

| Abstract |
Neonatal Jaundice also called Neonatal Hyperbilirubinemia, common condition in newborns where bilirubin builds up in the blood, causing yellowing of the skin and eyes. While usually physiological (peaking days 3-5), jaundice within 24 hours or extreme levels require immediate medical intervention (phototherapy) to prevent bilirubin-induced brain damage, per WHO and standard guidelines. The objective of the study is to Assess the Knowledge regarding Neonatal Jaundice among Postnatal mothers in a selected Hospital, Aizawl, Mizoram. Quantitative research approach was used in which descriptive research design was used as a research design. As for the study 100 postnatal mothers were selected using purposive sampling technique in a selected Hospital, Aizawl, Mizoram. The collected data was analysed using descriptive and inferential statistics. The study categorizes knowledge into three levels—Inadequate (0-9), Moderate (10-15), and Adequate (16-20) and examines their distribution across various demographic groups using the Chi-square test for statistical significance. It was found that majority of the postnatal mothers had moderate knowledge regarding neonatal jaundice. The study concluded that the majority of postnatal mothers have moderate knowledge regarding neonatal jaundice. Hence, it is statistically interpreted that there is no significant association between knowledge score with the selected demographic variables.
