As the study has attempted to assess the magnitudes of industrial accidents in Nepal after the enactment of Labor Act 1992 in order to observe the effectiveness of the provision of health and safety measures in reducing incidence, frequency and severity of industrial accident. On the calculation of these indicators based on the secondary data observed inconsistency in the reduction between severity of industrial accidents and frequency and incidence rate of industrial accidents indicating seriousness of the accident and increasing the compensation and premium of insurance. Among the industrial accidents, more than fifty percent of them were compensable in nature indicating a significant loss of job and economic loss of workers and performance and productivity of the concerned enterprises. Thus, concerned parties are suggested to form a multipartite committee and organize sensitivity training to workers in every enterprise to manage the issue of industrial safety effectively and efficiently in Nepal.
Key words: Compensability of accidents, Frequency of industrial accidents, Incidence of industrial accident, Industrial safety, Role of stakeholders and Severity of industrial accidents.

The corporate LAN has evolved from a passive background business component to a highly active, highly visible core asset that enterprises rely on to support day-to-day operations critical to their market success. Todays network is a strategic instrument that must be accessible anytime from anywheresimultaneously offering fast, secure, reliable services at scale regardless of location. It has also evolved from traditional client/server data flow support to peer-to-peer flow support, and it must also accommodate an increasing number of devices and services. The main aim of this research paper is to demonstrate the need for implementation of switches in the design of LANs using OPNET-MODELER. The performance of a 16-station LAN using first a simple hub, and then a switch and two hubs is compared. By analyzing the graphs, it is concluded that traffic performance of a network after deploying switches is better.

Mutation testing is to check the quality of test cases by changing code. The proposal examines mutation testing based on clusters.Clusters contains homogeneous and heterogeneous mutants. It consists two mutagens in it and by one time only one mutagen (mutant) can be selected for performing mutation testing. Mutants can be homogeneous type or it can be heterogeneous mutants. Selection of number of mutants depends upon number of clusters working for the code. This paper represents cluster based testing using homogeneous and heterogeneous mutants. This is divided into three sections. Section 1, Section 2 and Section 3 described about homogeneous, heterogeneous and hybrid (homogeneous/ heterogeneous) mutants. For mutation generation, a tester can generate mutants according to number of clusters. Number of cluster is equivalent to number of mutants. After modifying original code, collaboration of all mutants performed which shows by end a tester can perform mutation on huge number of mutants. This paper explores the ideas of collaboration of cluster covers large number of mutants. Keywords: Mutant, Mutation Operator, Equivalent Mutant, Test cases, Clusters.

The increasing demand for transport services in Indian cities has been observed due to increases in population, increases in household income, and increases in economic activities. Traffic congestion problem is a serious hindrance to economic growth as transport is a basic economic infrastructure for any economy. In most of the Indian cities, congestion and delays are ever increasing and the supply of road space is becoming highly insufficient. Countries try to solve congestion problem by constructing new roads, widening of existing roads or construction of flyovers or underpasses. Such infrastructure development programs take place either to create alternate roads for particular destination or to segregate through-traffic from cross- traffic at various road intersections. In the large metropolitan cities of India, journeys along the roads are characterized by low travel speed, delays at the road intersections and infrastructural inadequacies in the road network. It is essential to judge the priority of development of transport infrastructure at different alternate locations using scarce economic resources before such construction takes place. Present study intends to discuss about the existing techniques used by the planners to evaluate investment projects and considers the applicability of Multi Criteria Analysis technique as a tool for that in the form of a case study.
Key Words: Grade separated paths, Cost Benefit Analysis, Multi Criteria Analysis, Concordance Index, Volume- Capacity Ratio.

Seventy-five per cent of the worlds poorest people 1.05 billion women, children and man live in rural areas and depend on agriculture and related activities for their livelihoods. Conventional wisdom would lead us to believe that for them mobile phone is a luxury. But we are wrong! A recent World Bank study states that there is a myth that the rural poor are not able or not willing to pay for mobile telecommunication services. Mobile phones accessibility has allowed previously marginalized groups with no access to basic service to take an active part in the economic and social spheres of their communities. This social and economic inclusion has led to the willingness of poor rural households to spend 4-8% of their income on mobile telephony. The mobile telephony revolution is contributing substantially to achieving the targets of Millennium Development Goals (MDGs), especially MDG1 Eradicate extreme poverty and hunger and more specifically to the target of Halving, the proportion of people whose income is less than $1 a day by 2015. Africa would not be lagging behind on a number of MDGs, however, if back in 2000 world leaders has established an MDG similar to Achieving universal primary education (MDG2) for mobile telephony called Achieving universal access then, Africa would have met the targets with flying marks.

The term Point Of Purchase, or POP, refers to the promotional graphics focused on influencing consumer behavior at the moment of purchasing decision. Point of Purchase displays are driving a retail revolution. They are enabling true dynamic selling. The presentation of the product and merchandise is almost as important as the product itself. There is only one chance to make a first impression and it has to be a good one. Point of Purchase displays or POP presentations can be anything from stock corrugated floor stand or counter displays to acrylic or corrugated ballot boxes to elaborate custom die-cut & printed stand up displays. In recent years, the point of purchase for products and services has become an important focus for marketers, because consumers tend to make purchasing decisions on very high-margin products or services at these strategic locations. On a macro-level, a point of purchase may be a mall, market or city. On a micro-level, retailers consider a point of purchase to be the area surrounding the counter where customers pay. It is also known as "point of sale". Points of purchase may be real, as in the case of a "brick and mortar" store, or virtual, as in the case of an electronic retailer that sells goods and services over the internet. Most purchase decisions are made at the shelf during just a few critical seconds. The ability for a product to attract shoppers visual attention has a strong influence on the choices they make products that are unseen are often unsold.
