In pharmaceutical formulations nano emulsions are composed of practical within nanometer range. They have capacity to encapsulate drugs that are poorly water soluble due to their hydrophobic nature and also they are composed of safe gradient excipients which makes them safer and stable option to drug delivery. For several decades cancer therapy has been an issue because drugs developed to treat this disease and not always successful or and up failing, mainly due to low solubility and unspecific toxicity. This problem can be resolved by nanoemulsion because it not only solve water solubility problems but also provides specific targeting to cancer cells. This chapter includes overview about the nanoemulsion and various approaches for production of nanoemulsions which include high energy approach such as microfluidizer high pressure valve homogenization, ultrasonic homogenization. In low energy approaches, spontaneous emulsification phase inversion composition, phase inversion temperature and emulsion inversion point are discussed in detail.

 Abstract

In the knowledge-based economy, the role of the state and individuals is critical to the human resource development. State intervention, particularly in developing countries, aims at creating an enabling environment for human resource development and improve the competitiveness of human resources in the global market. The less developed countries suffering with low knowledge and skill base have not positioned themselves to integrate effectively with the process of globalization. India has adopted a strategy of inclusive growth and has also witnessed relatively high rates of economic growth during the past few years. With the economy growing at a pace, there are emerging signs that rapid growth can result in shortage of high quality skills needed in knowledge intensive industries. A strategy of inclusiveness also calls for new emphasis on education, health, and other basic public facilities. Inadequate access to these essential services directly limits the welfare of large sections of the population, and also denies them the opportunity to share fully in the benefits of growth. Indeed, inadequate attention to human resource development limits the growth process itself. Is there any relationships between human development and economic growth in India? Is growth resulting into human development? These are some of the questions that the present paper attempts to answer. The effect of human capital development on Indian economy is measured under three different headings i.e., education, health and both components of health and education human capital and economic growth. The econometrics analysis is based on the regression model and estimating correlation coefficients for the period 1995-96 to 2013-14. The OLS method is used to estimate coefficients of proxy variables of human capital. The study found that human capital has positive and significant impact on the growth of Indian economy. Increase in the quality of education and incentives to increase health parameters is strongly recommended.

Background: Urbanisation is among one of the factors which contribute to demographic shifts from rural to urban areas in the last few decades. But, due to non accessibility and unaffordability of healthcare services in urban areas, there has also been an emerging trend of reverse urbanization. In this context, accessibility and affordability of health services in urban areas become an important criterion to evaluate healthcare institutions contribution to the health status of the community. The current paper intended to explore the status and challenges Swasthya Suvidha Kendra (SSK ), a new cadre of infrastructure formed at slum level in cities of Chhattisgarh state under NUHM, are facing since its inception and recommended how the system could bridge these to provide better services to the slum community. Materials and Methods: For this, cross sectional and explorative research design was selected. The study was carried out in five randomly selected SSK from two cities of the Chhattisgarh state named Raipur and Durg in the year 2013-14. Data were collected through a pre-designed, pre-tested semi-structured schedule, and checklist. For recording the system process part, observation method was applied. Results: The study findings revealed that proper provisioning of infrastructure with an integrated system at the slum level will ensure accessibility and affordability. However, contact with the community by the grassroots level service provider leads to create rigor inaccessibility and affordability for the community. Further, it can also be seen that there are many challenges remain in making functional the SSK in the state and it can bridge through convergence and capacity development. Conlcusion: For delivering a quality health services in the urban health center, proer supply chain management must plan by the government and capacity of the frontline workers must be developed to address the need of the urban area with a online monitoring system.

Abstract: The two Ecotypes of Allium hookeri Thwaites were collected from two different agro-climatic zones of Jharkhand for comparative stomatal studies. For stomatal studies leaf is divided into three parts and peeling was done with the help of razor. Peeled material were stained in safranin and mounted in glycerin. Then stomatal index as well as stomatal length and width were calculated by using ocular micrometer. The maximum length (50.0�1.73�) was observed in apex portion of the abaxial surface of Ecotype-II and the minimum length (36.3�0.39�) was observed in the abaxial surface of the basal portion of the ecotype-I. The maximum width size (18.4�0.84�) was observed in the middle portion of the abaxial surface of ecotype -II and the minimum width was (12.09�0.74�) at the apex portion of the adaxial surface of ecotype. Stomatal index was (16.07�1.16) which was maximum in the adaxial surface of the Ecotype-II and minimum in the apex portion of the both abaxial and adaxial surface (10.02�0.811). Through this investigation it must be concluded that anomocytic type of stomata is present in both the ecotypes. However there are some differences in the stomatal index, length and width of stomata. Stomatal study is helpful in understanding the biosystematic studies.

 Abstract

Histological and Histopathological observations were made on infected and non-infected digestive gland of snails, Lymnea luteola. Infected digestive gland either with Rediae of cercaria microcaeca (Distome) revealed basically histopathological abnormalities showing the presence of reduced amount of lipids. Alteration either histological or histochemical in infected digestive gland are associated with the type of size of trematode larvae and degree and parasitism and these were greater in digestive glands of infected with sporocysts than in rediae. The amount of lipid increases in the digestive cells of the snails lymnea luteola. The cercariae are directly responsible for the change in the lipid content of the digestive glands of the host shell. The parasites may not take lipids as their food, but accumulation of fatty substances is a direct consequence of carbohydrate metabolism.

Dividend income has been taxed in India since the inception of the Income Tax Act, 1961 under the head other sources. However, taxation of dividend incomes has seen a turmoil due to the manifold amendments over the years. The manner of taxing dividend has also undergone changes. Earlier, it was taxable in the hands of the recipient shareholders and thereby required the companies to deduct tax at source. And then, it required the domestic companies to pay a dividend distribution tax on declaration, distribution or payment of dividends out of its current or accumulated profits to its shareholders. However, currently it has again been made taxable in the hands of recipient shareholders. This shift would have created havoc for the recipient shareholders as well as the companies distributing its profits to its shareholders. This paper makes an attempt to review the tax treatment of dividend income from domestic companies on equity shares in the hands of individual shareholders over period commencing from 1997, when corporate taxation in India witnessed major amendments, till 2020 along with the reasons as stated by the then Honourable Finance Minister in his / her Union Budget Speech.

This paper is a comprehensive analysis of code alternation by Yoruba-English bilinguals on the Internet. Specifically, the study investigates the communicative functions of computer-mediated code-switching among Yoruba-English bilinguals on WhatsApp (A chatting application owned by Facebook Incorporated). Code is a �neutral� (as against language, dialect, sociolect and idiolect) term that can be used to refer to any kind of system that two or more people employ for communication. Therefore, code alternation is one of the sociolinguistic approaches to language change in any bilingual community (either the physical/real life community or the cyberspace). Consequently, code-switching is a by-product of code alternation. Code-switching is an important aspect of bilingual discourse and it is seen as performing five communicative functions as evident in the data collected for this study. The functions include the following: a referential function, a directive function, an expressive function, a phatic function and a metalinguistic function. Our findings revealed that the interlocutors on WhatsApp exhibit through their use of language to perform these communicative functions that human interaction takes place within a cooperative activity which is the domain of �Systemic Functional Theory�.
