Caste, \u27quotas\u27 and discrimination in India: insights from interdisciplinary quantitative research. An interview with Ashwini Deshpande.
No full textAshwini Deshpande is Professor of Economics at the Delhi School of Economics, University of Delhi, India. Her Ph.D. and early publications have been on the international debt crisis of the 1980s. Subsequently, she has been working on the economics of discrimination and affirmative action issues, with a focus on caste and gender in India. She has published extensively in leading scholarly journals. She is the author of "Grammar of Caste: economic discrimination in contemporary India", OUP, hardcover 2011 and paperback 2017, forthcoming; and "Affirmative Action in India", OUP, Oxford India Short Introductions series, 2013. She received the EXIM Bank award for outstanding dissertation (now called the IERA Award) in 1994, and the 2007 VKRV Rao Award for Indian economists under 45.
In this interview she talks about her work on caste-based ‘quotas’ or ‘reservation’ (terms for affirmative action in India) and their impact. Her work helps demolish several of the myths around quotas and assumes tremendous significance in a polity where reservation policy faces severe opposition from the elite even as it drives electoral politics in many regions of the country. In view of recent developments on university campuses in India, such quantitative work at the interface of sociology, economics and social psychology, becomes important evidence supporting affirmative action and exposing myths of “merit”-based selection processes and “market rationality”.

A Study on Impact of Financial Literacy on Individuals Financial Behaviour
No full textAbstract: Financial Literacy has been recognized as a critical skill for individuals who are embedded in an increasingly complex financial scenario. Financial Literacy helps individuals make more assertive and efficient decisions in the monetary context of their lives. This paper measures individuals' financial literacy level and analyses the relationship and impact between financial Literacy and financial behaviour. The research results show that individuals have a reasonable level of financial Literacy. On analyzing the financial behaviour of individuals, it was found most of them exhibited moderately positive financial behaviour. It is also observed that financial Literacy can enhance people's skills and abilities to make more informed choices and ultimately lead to a positive financial behaviour. Thus one can conclude that increasing the level of financial education stimulates wise economic behaviour.
Keywords: financial Literacy, relationship, financial behaviour and impact.

Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
No full textThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
Preparation, Characterization and In-vitro Evaluation of Curcumin-Resveratrol loaded Nanoparticles for Anticancer Therapy
No full textCurcumin and resveratrol are two natural products with activity against various types of cancers. However, they have poor bioavailability due to poor solubility, limiting their clinical applications. Solid lipid nanoparticles (SLNs) of these drugs present a means to improve their delivery to the target site.|Polymers such as 2-hydroxypropyl β-cyclodextrin (HPβCD), hydroxypropyl methyl cellulose (HPMC), polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP), and eudragit EPO® (EPO) were screened using X-ray diffraction (XRD) for miscibility and proton nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy (1H-NMR) and infrared spectroscopy (IR) were used to study molecular interactions with the aim of selecting most suitable polymer for designing curcumin-resveratrol SLN. Curcumin-resveratrol along with the selected polymer were incorporated in various lipids to form emulsion which were probe sonicated and freeze-dried to obtain SLNs. SLNs were optimized for particle size range below 200 nm and were characterized by zeta potential, XRD, differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), physical stability, and entrapment efficiency. A UV-visible method was developed and validated for the simultaneous analysis of curcumin and resveratrol. The in vitro release of drugs from the SLNs was studied using the direct dispersion method. The SLNs were tested for in vitro efficacy using colorectal cancer cell line.|HPβCD was found to have good miscibility with curcumin and resveratrol. It also showed hydrogen bonding tendency with both the drugs. Curcumin-resveratrol-gelucire 50/13-HPβCD and curcumin-resveratrol-gelucire 50/13 SLNs showed a particle size from 100-150 nm. SLNs were characterized by XRD, TGA, DSC. XRD results showed that the drugs were not in crystalline state; MDSC did not show melting endotherm of curcumin, thus complementing the XRD results; TGA showed no weight loss and SEM showed curcumin-resveratrol-gelucire 50/13 SLNs were spherical in shape. Curcumin-resveratrol-gelucire 50/13 SLNs were stable for 21 days with respect to particle size and zeta potential. Encapsulation of the drugs was in the range of 75-85% for both the SLNs. MTT assay indicated better IC50 value for curcumin-resveratrol-gelucire 50/13 as compared to curcumin-resveratrol-gelucire 50/13-HPβCD.|Novel SLNs of curcumin and resveratrol incorporated in lipid and polymer for anticancer activity were prepared and characterized. MTT assay showed activity of the formulations against cancer.ProQuest Traditional Publishing Optio
