EMPLOYEES PERCEPTION OF WORKPLACE MONITORING AND SURVEILLANCE

Employee monitoring has gained importance from different interest groups – Commercial organisations, employee interest groups, privacy advocates, professional ethicists and lawyers. It is a practice of organizational management. It is about surveying the employee’s activity through various surveillance methods. The objectives of employee monitoring can be performance tracking, avoiding legal liability, protection of trade secrets and also to focus security concerns if any. The policy of monitoring and surveillance is likely to have a negative effect on employee satisfaction and employee privacy though, it is essential to identify and prevent unacceptable behaviour of employees if any. Employee monitoring trend has evolved gradually as a result of technological innovation. This research paper analyses the impact of employee monitoring practices in organisations. The study proposes organizational theories, privacy theories, control theories and resource theories so as to address the employee privacy issues. These multiple theories indicate multiple dimensions focusing on the proactive approach or a backup plan mediating between organisational policy and behaviour of employees. Result of the study indicates that Employee Commitment level dependents on employee’s perception about their privacy at workplace. This perception is influenced by management practices such as organisational policy and prevention of misuse

Importance of HRIS: A Critical Study on Service and Auto Sector

A HRIS system is widely known as a human resource information system or human resource management system (HRMS) which is basically an intersection majorly of human resources and information technology along a HR software solution. The advantage of such systems is they permit core HR activities that help to process theinformation electronically. Human Resource Information System has a edge over other systems as it integrates the various parts of core human resource, including labor productivity, payroll and benefit management into a small capital intensive system used to manage and supervise activities. The HRI system have an advantage of effectively planning, controlling and managing the HR costs in order to achieve improved quality and efficiency in HR decision making along with improving the managerial and employee effectiveness and productivity. HRI System is widely used in service sector for the employees of the organization including the Man, Material, Machinery and Management. Moreover, HRI systems in auto sector have a wide advantage including development of core competencies in the workforce along with improving the comprehensive organizational climate of Human Resource systems and sub systems. Hence the human resource management System in such sectors is a software solution that provides online result for the data record, data information and data tracking demands of the Human Resources, management, accounting and payroll functions within a business

EVALUATION AND QUALITY CONTROL OF NASAL SPRAY

Nasal drug delivery has now been recognized as a very promising route for delivery of therapeutic compounds including biopharmaceuticals. This route is also advisable for drugs undergoing extensive first pass effect. The present article highlights the evaluation parameters of nasal spray, suspension, and solutions. While formulating the nasal drug delivery formulations various parameters are to be consider such as Appearance, Color, and Clarity, Identification, Drug content (Assay), Impurities and Degradation Products, Preservative(s) and Stabilizing Excipient(s) Assay, Pump Delivery, Spray content uniformity, Spray Content Uniformity (SCU) through Container Life, Spray Pattern and Plume Geometry, Droplet Size Distribution, Particle size distribution (suspension),  Microscopic Evaluation (Suspensions), Foreign Particulates,  Microbial limit,  Preservative Effectiveness, Net Content and Weight Loss (Stability), Leachables (Stability), PH, Osmolality.   Key words: Nasal spray, Evaluation, Quality control, Drug delivery system

Improvements in the extraction of bioactive compounds by enzymes

Bioactives from plants are always in high demand in nutraceutical, pharmaceutical, and functional food sectors due to their health benefits. This intensifies the need of extraction of bioactives by different methods that can improve the yield and purity of the compound. Enzymes help in the release of bioactives from the plant material under optimized conditions so as to make the extraction process efficient. Though enzymatic extraction of bioactives have been used since long, it needs improvement to further enhance the yield, reduce the process time, and make the process cost competitive. The combination of enzymatic extraction with other green techniques such as ultrasound extraction, supercritical fluid extraction, three-phase partitioning, ionic liquid extraction, and microwave extraction can boost the advantages of enzymatic extraction. This review focuses on the improvement in the enzymatic extraction techniques for the bioactives in detail.Peer reviewe
