Hair plays a vital role in the personality of human and for their care we use lots of cosmetic products. Herbal formulations always have activity and comparatively lesser or no side effects with synthetic. This study aimed at reviewing the importance of polyherbal hair oil for the treatment of common hair problems such as baldness, alopecia, hair fall, gray hair, dryness, and most common dandruff. The various herbal ingredients are used in the formulation. All ingredients provide essential nutrients such as vitamin, antioxidant, protein, terpenoids, and many essential oils to maintain normal function of sebaceous glands. The formulated oil was evaluated for its organoleptic properties, acid value, saponification value, viscosity, pH etc. All the parameters were found to be good and within the standards. This also helps to gain stability over scalp psoriasis and the damage caused by it on the scalp. Ingredients such as: Coconut oil, Curry leaves, Olive oil, Aloe vera, Hibiscus flower, Fenugreek seeds are used in scalp psoriasis. The main ingredient of this oil is FENUGREEK SEEDS. This hair oil reduces dandruff, promotes hair growth, reduces hair fall, naturally dyes and gives shine to our hair. This oil can be for oily scalp as well as dry scalp.

Objective The main goals of the current study were to improve patient compliance and develop a two-layer drug delivery system that would allow for drug release at a predetermined time following an initial release. This would allow for sustained drug release from the formulation during the effective treatment of arthritis. Increasing the bioavailability of etodolac and etoricoxib was the aim of the current investigation. Methods An immediate release layer and a sustain release layer made up the two distinct components of the created Biayer drug delivery system. Crosspovidone was included in the immediate release layer together with the active component as a super disintegrant. Using the wet granulation process, the tablet was made. Kolloidon SR was used as a release-delaying polymer in the sustained release layer. Sustain release layer preparation was done using the direct compression method. Result The developed formulations were assessed for their in vitro drug release profile, in vitro disintegration time, and physical properties. Conclusion On the basis of these evaluation shown that optimized bilayer tablets formulation F5 showed 12 hrs drug release of Etodolac and F8 showed disintegration time is 36 sec for immediate release. The bilayer formulation by factorial showed compliance with treatment of Arthritis.

This includes contractual employees, project-based workers, freelancers and short term-based workers. With today's digitalization there is increase in demand of mobile workforce where employees can choose temporary jobs around the globe and can find suitable candidate without any geographical limitation for each job. Without being on companies' payroll, the gig workers confer the services like accountant, tutor, e-commerce site's delivery agents, service provider, artist and anyone who come into contractual obligation with a company. They are found across every industry. The employers in gig economy provide flexibility in work life, balance in work and lifestyle and freedom to choose the gigs and profiles they are interested in where one after the other the gig employees are provided with little or no health or retirement benefits, tax complexities and non-remunerated business expenses also it saves company resources like office space, training programme and company benefits. There is a thin difference between people who work voluntarily and one who are taken advantage by an employer in a contractual agreement. NITI Aayog had evaluated around 47% of the gig work is in medium skilled jobs, about 22% in high skilled and about 31% in low skilled jobs on a study "India's Booming Gig and Platform Economy" the trending example of the gig workers are the startups like Swiggy, Zomato, Ola and Uber. These startups are the main source of providing gig workers in Indian economy. In research studies by Boston Consulting Group (BCG) have indicated that participation in the gig economy is higher in developing countries (5- 12%) versus developed economies (1-4 percent). Abundance of these jobs are in kind of job with limited- income such as ridesharing, delivery person, wellness, caretakers and microtasks. The paper discusses various notion relating to social rights and protection related to gig workers. Also, in this paper we will analyze the legal frame work of gig workers around the globe. The rise in change of traditional workers to the gig workers create the need for proper legislative rights and authority to hear the problems and provide the solution for the gig workers with the dynamic change in the world. On one side the employers of online platform companies like Amazone, Flipkart, Swiggy and Zomato are in benefits, as they can easily appoint, transfer or dismiss the gig workers as per to their wish on the other hand, gig workers are in drawback as they are not considered permanent employees like any other employees under Indian contract act nor they are provided with any benefits like any other permanent employees in a company. Hence this paper discusses various variability of the gig workers in today's world.

This empirical study conducts a comprehensive ratio analysis to evaluate the financial performance of Bosch Ltd over a five-year period, with reference to Suman and Co as a benchmark. The analysis covers liquidity ratios, profitability ratios, leverage ratios, and other key financial metrics to gain insights into Bosch's financial health and resilience. The findings reveal a nuanced picture of Bosch's performance, highlighting both strengths and areas for improvement. One of the key findings of the study is a slight decline in Bosch's current ratio over the five-year period. This decline suggests potential liquidity challenges for the company, indicating a decreased ability to cover short-term liabilities with current assets. Such findings emphasize the importance of closely monitoring liquidity ratios to ensure the company's ability to meet its short-term obligations efficiently. Moreover, significant fluctuations in Bosch's net profit ratio were observed during the study period. These fluctuations underscore the importance of closely monitoring profitability factors and implementing strategies to maintain or improve profitability levels. By understanding the drivers behind these fluctuations, Bosch can better manage its resources and operations to enhance overall profitability. Additionally, the study identifies a decreasing trend in Bosch's quick ratio over the five-year period. The quick ratio, which excludes inventory from current assets, highlights the company's ability to meet short-term liabilities using its most liquid assets. The decreasing trend in this ratio underscores the need for Bosch to optimize its inventory management practices and implement effective liquidity strategies to maintain financial health. Despite these challenges, Bosch maintains a generally healthy liquidity position and stable capital structure. The study acknowledges the company's resilience in navigating through financial challenges and highlights its ability to maintain financial stability over the years. Based on the findings, the study proposes several recommendations for Bosch to enhance its financial performance and resilience. These recommendations include continued monitoring of financial metrics, targeted strategies to address weaknesses identified in the analysis, and leveraging strengths to capitalize on growth opportunities. Furthermore, benchmarking against industry standards, such as Suman and Co, is recommended to provide valuable insights for informed decision-making and strategic planning.

 Abstract

Fenofibrate is a lipid lowering drug used in the treatment of hyperlipidemia, which is not soluble in water and lower absorption in gastric fluid. In order to improve the solubility and oral absorption of the drug in gastric fluid to enhance solubility of drug by using solid dispersions technique. Solid dispersions of Fenofibrate were prepared and evaluated by using ?-cyclodextrin in different ratios (1:1, 1:2, 1:3, 1:4, 1:5). The effect of kneading method of preparation of solid dispersion on solubility behavior was also investigated. Solid dispersions containing Fenofibrate /?-cyclodextrin formulation provide a promising way to enhance solubilty of fenofibrate. In the formulations of the Fenofibrate and Beta cyclodextrin, Formulation (1:5) shows the great enhance in solubility than pure drug. Beta-cyclodextrin was chosen as the carrier because it has high hydrophilicity, non-toxic, inert, economical. Thus the solubility and bioavailability of fenofibrate was enhanced by the preparation of solid dispersion by kneading method.
