Plagiarism: Detection and Prevention

The worldwide availability of scholarly works and contents through innumerable online open access journals and database freely available via Internet and the Web’s more interactive Web 2.0 evolution has created an environment that encourages information sharing and values the remixing and remaking of original content. Such an environment makes plagiarism easier to commit and originality more difficult to define. The present article discusses the various types of plagiarism which are commonly committed by the researchers and the strategies to be adopted to prevent it, thus making the research plagiarism free

Globalization in India

Contemporary world’s advances in the direction of integration, have received tremendous momentum through the phenomena of globalization. The present paper tries to evaluate the arrival of the global era in India. Focus of the present research work is to grasp the reality of globalization and track its course and the resultant consequences in social perspectives; in other words, an attempt is made to analyze the changes that cyclone of globalization has catalyzed in Indian socio-economic system

RP-HPLC Method for Simultaneous Estimation of Anti-Tubercular Drugs in Fixed Dose Combination Tablets

A simple, rapid, and cost-effective reverse-phase HPLC method has been developed and validated as per ICH guidelines for the simultaneous estimation of Rifampicin (RIF), Isoniazid (INH), Pyrazinamide (PYZ) and Ethambutol Hydrochloride (ETH) in anti-tuberculosis fixed dose combination (FDC) tablets. Quantifications were performed using Waters XTerra RP18, 5 µm, 250 mm X 4.6 mm i.d. column, mobile phase consisting of phosphate buffer (pH 6.8, containing 8% v/v acetonitrile) and acetate buffer (pH 4.7, 1 mM[m1]  copper (II) sulfate) at dual wavelength. INH, PYZ and ETH were detected at 260 nm and RIF was quantified at 238 nm. The method could suitably resolve RIF, INH, PYZ and ETH and exhibited linearity in the range of 2.5–35 µg/mL for RIF, 2.5–25 µg/mL for each of INH and PYZ and for ETH linearity was observed from 5–30 µg/mL. The mean recoveries obtained for RIF, INH, PYZ and ETH were 99.96, 99.86, 100.08 and 99.67% respectively. No chromatographic interference was observed from the tablet excipients and the method was also validated with respect to precision (intra-day and inter-day), robustness, limits of detection and quantification. [m1]Please check

A Historical Study of Environment:Colonial and Post-Colonial Situation in India (Chotanagpur)

The study of environmental history shows the concern for ecology amongs the social scientists.Due to the profound technological and transformations that have occurred over the past millennium, it has come to effect- often fatally in recent centuries, every species of living creature on earth.Thus much of the research and writing of environmental historians has been focused on specific ecosystems or regional complexes of environmental patterns.The study of relationship between man and nature shows recent shifts in history writing.The study expose the colonial experience and their imperial attitudes towards the environment. In the post-colonial period issues related to environment and forest became more complicated and complex

India’s Healthcare System for Poor and Marginal Section of Society

Despite the significant growth of Indian Economy and health standard of the Indian citizens accessibility of the basic healthcare to majority of the people is a big challenge in developing country like India. The inequalities have been increased among the various sections of the society particularly in last two-three decades. The Indian state has been failed to distribute the benefits of the economy and health facilities equally. The three-fourth of the Indian population is still living in rural areas with about twenty percent of the health facilities. More than half of the children and women are suffering anemia, even 92% of the mother never heard the word malnutrition. Indian public healthcare system is able to treat only 40-45% of the In-patients and only 18% of the total out-patients. About 80% population is unable to get essential drugs for basic illness because public sector is unable to provide i.e. private sector becoming dominating, which is controlling about 80% of the health infrastructure and 85-87% of the total expenditure on health.

Land and Gender Relation, Migration and Tribal Land Alienation: A study of Karbi Anglong (1951–1979)

The paper in an attempt to study the relation of tribal community with land in the Karbi Anglong District of Assam. It also makes an attempt to study the cultural claim on land and importance of gender relation to man-land relationship. Despite the fact that gender and land has a strong bond in the tribal “Socio-economic sphere” in terms of inheritance and gendered division of labor, it got affected by large-scale migration in the district not only from the most populous districts of India and other places but also from beyond the international border. The paper further studies, how migration in the district led to large-scale land alienation and changing socio-economic scenario

Facile one-pot method for the synthesis of arylmethanamines

A facile one-pot method involving reductive amination was developed for the synthesis of arylmethanamines possessing interesting structural features

Molecular Weight of Soy Protein Isolate (SPI) after Successive Purification Steps

Soy protein isolate (SPI) was dissolved in 0.1 M NaOH and 0.1 M NaCl. Several purification steps were carried out so as to remove most of the insoluble’s present in SPI. Dilute solution behavior of SPI in 0.1 M NaOH and 0.1 M NaCl was examined by laser light scattering and Ubbelohde capillary viscometer. The dependence of molecular weight on purification steps was examined and reported. This work provided a novel and simple solvent system that can be used to investigate the molecular weight of SPI.
