Skills, Informality, and Development
No full textThis paper makes an attempt to estimate the index of informal sector employment which can be attributed to the supply-push phenomenon. Factors which explain the inter-state variations include the industrial-informal sector wage gap, revenue expenditure, and development expenditure incurred by the government. Increased development expenditure brings in a decline in distress-led informalization. With improved education, health, and infrastructure facilities the employability of an individual goes up, which, in turn, reduces the compulsion to get absorbed residually. However, expansion in government activities measured through increased revenue expenditure raises in-migration, which in turn raises the supply-push phenomenon. We also observed that with an increase in distress-led informalization inequality tends to rise. Adoption of labour intensive technology in the organized industrial sector is indeed crucial for pro-poor growth. The other policy implication is in terms of enhanced investment in the areas of education, health and other infrastructural facilities.Informal sector, supply-push, development expenditure, stochastic frontier
Postoperative Spine Infections
No full textPostoperative spinal wound infection increases the morbidity of the patient and the cost of healthcare. Despite the development of prophylactic antibiotics and advances in surgical technique and postoperative care, wound infection continues to compromise patient outcome after spinal surgery. Spinal instrumentation also has an important role in the development of postoperative infections. This review analyses the risk factors that influence the development of postoperative infection. Classification and diagnosis of postoperative spinal infection is also discussed to facilitate the choice of treatment on the basis of infection severity. Preventive measures to avoid surgical site (SS) infection in spine surgery and methods for reduction of all the changeable risk factors are discussed in brief. Management protocols to manage SS infections in spine surgery are also reviewed

No full text(60) Grimaldina brazzai Richard, 1892 Indian records. Assam —Sharma B.K. & Sharma S. (2008a, b); Madhya Pradesh — Rane (1984c); Rajasthan — Venkataraman (1990b); Tamil Nadu — Raghunathan & Suresh Kumar (2002, 2009); West Bengal — Venkataraman & Das (1993), Venkataraman (1998c), Venkataraman et al. (2000); General record— Fernando & Kanduru (1984); Raghunathan & Suresh Kumar (2003). Remarks. Valid taxon described from Gabon, West Africa (Richard 1892). It probably consists of a series of cryptic species (H. J. Dumont, pers. comm.). Venkataraman (1998) recorded this species from West Bengal and claim that it is the first report from India, later Venkataraman & Das (1993) again said they had found the first record, although Rane (1984c) already found this taxon before. Distribution. At the time, regarded as circumtropical (Smirnov 1992; Kotov & Ferrari 2010). Guernella ceylonica Daday, 1898 Indian records. General record— Brehm (1953), Raghunathan & Suresh Kumar (2003). Remarks. Described from Sri Lanka (Daday 1898). Junior synonym of G. raphaelis Richard, 1892 (Smirnov 1976, 1992), also listed as such in Michael & Sharma B.K. (1988). However, G. raphaelis is described from West Africa, and ceylonica is an available name for Oriental populations if these would indeed prove to belong to a separate species. Guernella odiosa (Gurney, 1916) Indian records. General record— Raghunathan & Suresh Kumar (2003). Remarks. Raghunathan and Kumar (2003) listed this combination as apparent mistake. In reality, this combination was never proposed by any other author in cladoceran taxonomy. Sometimes Macrothrix odiosa was placed to the genus Gurneyella Brehm, 1930 (see Biswas 1971), not Guernella Richard, 1892. If Guernella is a valid taxon, which is indeed very different from Macrothrix (Smirnov 1976, 1992), Gurneyella is an apparent junior synonym of Macrothrix (Kotov et al. 2005). See Macrothrix odiosa for further comments.Published as part of CHATTERJEE, TAPAS, KOTOV, ALEXEY A., DAMME, KAY VAN, CHANDRASEKHAR, S. V.
