BIODEGRADATION OF AZO DYE USING PEROXIDASE ENZYME EXTRACTED FROM MOSSES & CHARACTERIZATION OF DEGRADED PRODUCT |
Author : PAWAR P. R. , LOLAGE Y .P. , MD. SAIFUL ARFEEN AND BHOSLE A.B. |
Abstract | Full Text |
Abstract :Peroxidase enzyme from mosses was extracted and purified by using 70% ammonium sulphate precipitation. In burette, it was found that crude sample of Rhincostagella contains more proteins as compared to Poheli and Plagiominium. The maximum absorbance of enzyme was noted at 470 nm, which confirms the isolated enzyme is peroxidises. Guaiacol showed maximum reactivity in staining activity. Optimum temperature and pH were found to be 30oC and 7oC respectively. It was observed that all metals have inhibitory effect on enzyme activity except ZnSO4 and cystein. Beta mercaptoethanol showed maximum inhibition while ystein shows least inhibition while ZnSO4 and cystein showed Inducers effect at 1mM concentration of enzyme. As the substrate concentration increases the specific activity of enzyme also increased. The decolourization of malachite green with peroxidases was recorded up to 70 to 85 %.

As the child grows, he carries these morals with him, so much so that he becomes a useful citizen, to extend his services for the sake of the country. When children and youth are forgetting their morals and duties, Anita Nair draws the attention of children and youth by introducing morals with the help of mythical and archetypal figures in her book World myths and legends. Here we can identify the author as a social reformist. |

Author : PANDURANG PATIL ,PRASHANT ANDAGE, ASHOK BHISE AND PRAVEEN SAPTARSHI |
Abstract | Full Text |
Abstract :The present study have been attempted to evaluate soil fertility status from the soils from dapoli tahsil, Ratnagiri District Maharashtra. The 11 soil samples were collected and analyzed for the various basic parameters like pH, Electrical Conductivity (EC), Organic Carbon (OC), and macronutrients like N (Nitrogen), P (Phosphorous), and K (Potassium). The pH of the soil ranges from 5.77 to 7.95 reflecting slightly alkaline nature of the soil. The EC ranging from 0.09 - 0.19 mS/cm. EC of the soil samples indicates the salt free nature of the soil in all samples. The values of the OC ranges from 0.57 to 2.06 % in the soils of tahsil. Majority of the villages 72.72 % have low proportion of the N and 54.54 % villages having medium proportion of P. The proportion of K is high in 72.72 % villages and medium in 27.27 %. This means that the soils in the tahsil lack in N. Low status of Nitrogen and organic carbon indicates the need of adequate Nitrogen fertilization with biofertilizers. The paper suggests the strategy to use biofertiliserss at least 25% per years along with chemical fertilizers. |

FISCAL POLICY IN INDIA |
Author : ABHAY B.TARE |
Abstract | Full Text |
Abstract :Fiscal policy deals with the taxation and expenditure decisions of the government. Monetary policy, deals with the supply of money in the economy and the rate of interest. These are the main policy approaches used by economic managers to steer the broad aspects of the economy. In most modern economies, the government deals with fiscal policy while the central bank is responsible for monetary policy. Fiscal policy is composed of several parts. These include, tax policy, expenditure policy, investment or disinvestment strategies and debt or surplus management. Fiscal policy is an important constituent of the overall economic framework of a country and is therefore intimately linked with its general economic policy strategy. Fiscal policy also feeds into economic trends and influences monetary policy. When the government receives more than it spends, it has a surplus. If the government spends more than it receives it runs a deficit. To meet the additional expenditures, it needs to borrow from domestic or foreign sources, draw upon its foreign exchange reserves or print an equivalent amount of money. |

FOSTERING ORGANIZATIONAL CHANGE |
Author : UMATHIRUPATHY AND R. JAYAM |
Abstract | Full Text |
Abstract :The business landscape of the 21st century is characterized by rapid change brought about due to technological, economic, political and social changes. It is no longer the case that the managers and employees of firms in this decade can look forward to more of the same every year. In fact, the pace of change is so rapid and the degree of obsolescence if organizations resist change is so brutal that the only way out for many firms is to change or perish. In this context, it becomes critical that organizations develop the capabilities to adapt and steer change in their advantage. The role of senior managers becomes crucial in driving through change and ensuring that firms are well placed with respect to their competitors. However, it is the case that in many organizations, senior managers actively resist change and in fact thwart change initiatives due to a variety of reasons which would be explored in subsequent sections. This paper begins with a discussion on kinds of change, examines senior managers as barriers to change and discusses approaches to mitigate such resistance. This paper also examines on how to create a sustainable change, change management programs, some ways to actualize change and finally looks at the role that Human Resources can play in supporting and enabling change. |
