The mode of production in tea plantations has undergone a major structural shift from a centralized estate sector system to the emerging small tea growers (STG) bought leaf factory (BLF) system, which broadly represents a flexible and decentralized production system. The labour relations in tea gardens are well defined in the organized sector and covered under the Plantation Labour Act 1951. However, the small tea growers (STG) and Bought-Leaf Factories (BLF) specializing solely in tea manufacturing do not have the distinct industrial identity categorized under the unorganized sector in the tea plantation industry. STGs are no longer a small or marginalized group, as they produce more than half of India's green-leaf output while depriving organized-sector workers of the benefits they should get. The moment has come for small tea garden owners to think about their employees' occupational safety, health, and working circumstances. Given the substantial changes in tea plantation methods, the authors sought to determine the scope of collective bargaining for workers in tiny tea gardens in West Bengal's Jalpaiguri region.","PeriodicalId":143923,"journal":{"name":"Asia Pacific Journal of Management and Technology","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129479577","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Saved money is used for investment. It is scarce in a country like India. So, optimal use of this saved fund is required. Markowitz stated that best use is possible by creating a diversified portfolio to minimize risk. Ordinary people have limited funds and knowledge of the stock market. So diversified portfolio should be formed by purchasing a minimum number of stocks. Objective: of this research analysis is to form optimum portfolios by using different methods. They are compared to know the best one which can provide the maximum return per unit of risk by using the minimum number of stocks in the portfolio formation. The uniqueness of this research is to identify numeric advantages in optimum portfolio formation from an Indian context. Methodology: Analysis is based on daily price movement data of the Nifty 50 index. An optimum portfolio is formed first by using the Sharp optimum portfolio method, where stocks are selected on the basis of cut off rate C with weight factor Xi. Then selected stocks of Sharp model are combined by using the CAPM beta diversification technique. Risk minimizing weight factors are used here. These two portfolios are compared to judge minimum risk achievement with low volume of stocks. Conclusion: Optimum portfolios performances are compared again with actual data from next year. From this research analysis, beta diversification was found to be the best option. Limitation: More than two years analysis can give solidarity in the conclusion.","PeriodicalId":143923,"journal":{"name":"Asia Pacific Journal of Management and Technology","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129372425","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Events like tourist fairs and facilities like visa-on-arrival are certain measures in this direction. At the same time, many countries have recognized Indian nationals as potential tourists and have rolled out several attractive schemes specifically for Indian nationals. This study was performed to study the nature of tourism in India in terms of its performance based on both domestic and foreign tourist arrivals, and the larger revenue-generating potential this industry possesses. From the present study, it is evident that over the previous two decades, India's tourism industry has performed admirably.","PeriodicalId":143923,"journal":{"name":"Asia Pacific Journal of Management and Technology","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130091678","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It may also contain caffeine, coloring, preservatives, and other ingredients. Soft drinks are the beverage of choice for millions of people, second only to water. The first marketed soft drinks in the Western world appeared in the 17th century, which were made of water and lemon juice sweetened with honey. There are no nutritionally beneficial components in soft drinks. Soft drinks mostly consist of filtered water and refined sugar. Bisleri International (Bisleri) re-entered the Indian soft drink market in February 2016 with the introduction of \"Bisleri Pop.\" Bisleri, on the other hand, will face a number of hurdles in the coming days. To begin with, two multinational corporations (MNCs), Coca-Cola and PepsiCo, dominated the price and flavour pyramid in India's soft-drinks market. The case study of BISLERI POP, an Indian carbonated soft drink firm, focuses on some of the main problems, such as the company's competitive position, the strengths and weaknesses of its marketing strategies, consumer awareness, customer perception, cultural differences, and so on. This study was conducted using a descriptive research design. Google and other web sources were used to get primary data. In order to do a comparison analysis, information from Bisleri Pvt. Ltd. and other websites is used. Even though Bisleri Pop is one of the most well-known and respected bottled water brands in India, most people were not impressed by it.","PeriodicalId":143923,"journal":{"name":"Asia Pacific Journal of Management and Technology","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132201410","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

To achieve the aim of ‘Green Computing’ a number of state-of-the-art machine learning algorithms have been proposed for the VM placement.

It occurs in the hospital service flow, so patients must adjust to the restrictions that apply in the hospital. National health insurance (JKN) in Indonesia provides public access to health services. The existence of health insurance should be the solution for patients who are willing to take advantage of health services. Meanwhile, in the covid-19 condition, health services are essential, so they have to get a lot of attention. Objective: The purpose of this study was to analyze National Health Insurance (JKN) patients before and during covid-19 in Mother-Child Hospital \"Putri\" Surabaya. Methods: This study used descriptive analysis of national health insurance hospital patient visits (both outpatient and inpatient) in Mother-Child \"Putri\" Hospital Surabaya. The data was taken twice, which is before covid-19, from January 2018 to February 2020, and during Covid-19 from March 2020 to December 2021. Result: The results showed that the trend of JKN patients before and during covid-19 was very different. Before covid-19, there was a tendency to see an increase in JKN patients. During COVID-19, the JKN patient was reduced. Conclusion: Covid-19 is one of the factors that affected the reduction of JKN patients in Mother-Child Hospital \"Putri\" Surabaya.
