After dealing with the general characteristics of public and private sector employment in India, the authors develop the model of labour quality differentials between public and private employment in a Cobb-Douglas framework, examine the quality differentials between public and private employees in this country and summarize their findings. The authors note that it is very difficult to make an authoritative statement on employment in Indian public and private sector industries. (DÜI-Sen)

The paper is concerned with the performance of some selected Indian industries in terms of labour productivity in relation to capital coefficients. The effect of technological advancement in strictly rising capital intensities on the productivity of labour is scrutinized. (DÜI-Sen)

Case studies on local governance practices in eight states of India

INTRODUCTION: Both aluminium and ethanol are pro-oxidants and neurotoxic. Moderately intake of alcohol may favor the body in coronary heart disease and diabetes mellitus etc. Being cheaper aluminium and increasing consumption of alcohol in India mixed with each other and may induce neurotoxicity. The present study was planned to identify the level of aluminium induced neurodegeneration in presence of ethanol coexposure in the cerebellum. MATERIALS AND METHODS: An experimental study was carried out at Dr. RP Government Medical College, Kangra, and Government Medical College, Amritsar, India after due approval from the Institute Animal Ethics Committee. Thirty-two Wistar rats were divided into one vehicle control and three experimental groups. Group I received the normal saline water as the vehicle control group. Group II received aluminium chloride 4.2 mg/kg body weight as the experimental group. Group III received ethanol 1 g/kg body weight as the experimental group. Group IV received both aluminium chloride 4.2 mg/kg body weight and ethanol 1 g/kg body weight as the experimental group. After 3 months of treatment, cerebellum was processed for histopathological observation under the microscope. RESULTS: Experimental group treated with aluminium and ethanol separately showed reduction in the number of Purkinje cells, without a prominent nucleolus and well-defined nuclear membrane. Eosinophilic swelling adjacent to Purkinje cell bodies observed. The effects of combined administration of aluminium ethanol treated groups showed with acute neurodegeneration of Purkinje cell layer and granular layer. Pyknosis and neurofibrillary tangle seen in Purkinje cells. CONCLUSIONS: It has been suggested that the ethanol-induced the effects of aluminium on the cerebellum and plays a significant role in neurotoxicity.
