This book is primarily on governance in the context of modernization of India's tax administration. It contains eleven papers and an appendix. Its thrust is on modernization of India's tax administration through the application of information and communication technology (ICT) in tax administration - to be more precise, analyzing the role of the ICT in improving the efficiency of the tax administration. According to the editor, the context of the book is unique in that it includes a summary of a series of dialogues that were conducted between the tax officers on the one hand, and tax-payers and tax advisers from the private sector on other hand.- Quantization of Aceclofenac in Pharmaceutical Formulations by RP-HPLC

An isocratic reversed phase high-performance liquid chromatographic (HPLC) method with ultraviolet detection at 281 nm has been developed for the determination of aceclofenac in dosage formulation. Good chromatographic separation aceclofenac was achieved by using a stainless steel analytical column Inertsil ODS, C18, 250 x 4.6 mm, 5 μ. The system was operated at (30±2°C) using a mobile phase consisting of buffer: acetonitrile (600:400) at a flow rate of 1.5 ml/min. The calibration curve for aceclofenac was linear over the tested concentration range of 50%, 75%, 100%, 125% and 150% with reference to the label claim and a correlation coefficient of 1.00. The intra- and inter-run precision and accuracy results were 99.07 to 100.20 with the %RSD of 0.45% and tailings factor 1.16. The proposed method was validated for its selectivity, linearity, accuracy, and precision. The method was found to be suitable for the quality control of aceclofenac in bulk drug as well as in formulation.

Organic residue, often amorphous or invisible to the naked eye, cannot be characterized by using traditional archaeological techniques. Such residues are a result of plant and animal product processing either by heating or due to mechanical action1-4. Organic residues, in contrast to the food crusts, are often better preserved in the mineral matrices of the pottery fabric that protect the organic molecules from microbiological degradation4,5. The biomolecular components of organic residue are used as a tool to identify the source of the residue6, and to glean information on economic and subsistence practices associated with prehistoric cultural and technological traditions4,7-9. This makes organic residue analysis a well-established tool in geoarchaeology.References

Research on corrupt and criminal activity has been of particular interest among social scientists for over three decades. This paper examines in terms of a simple micro-theoretic exercise an illegal firm’s decision-making behaviour. Simple models of a profit maximizing illegal industrial firm are set up and conditions under which illegalisation of work and production occur are derived. Moreover, we explore the cases of detection of the firm at different phases of its production process and also assess the impact of deterrence, if any, on the scale of illegal activity.Keywords

The paradox of the recent development experience in India is that while the pace of modernization has picked up momentum, aided, to a large extent, by the tremendous strides in the information technology, there is also a growing trend toward informalization of the work force. The dominance and growth of the informal, unorganized sector – in terms of at least employment of labour – has overshadowed the organized, formal sector. There are several empirical studies on the growth of informal sector in India and also some theoretical studies that attempt to capture the interrelationship and interaction between the formal sector and the informal sector in terms of general equilibrium analysis in the overall context of macroeconomic policy making. The present paper, however, seeks to examine the factors behind the emergence and sustenance of informal work. To be more precise, we intend to examine the issues related to the employers’ decision whether to hire/employ, if possible, workers under formal or informal arrangements. In other words, the paper primarily attempts to analyze an employer’s labour choice problem under alternative contractual arrangements.References
