This book explains how gamification, specifically enterprise gamification, can help mangers in multiple areas within an enterprise to improve attrition. Employee Engagement is an important component to foster employee relations with the organization. Gamification by its inherent design helps to increase engagement within an enterprise. Several successful case studies in Gamification are presented, which present new practical tips for Gamification for IT Management. By introducing general IT management concepts related to the specific environment managers work in, the authors then detail the benefits of introducing gamification in this very environment to resolve business issues. IT Managers, as well as HR professionals, Group Heads and Delivery Leaders will find this be a useful resource to understand how Gamification can improve their everyday work. The book can also be used as a reference for engaging learners and employees to improve their productivity in organizations.

World oceans cover about 3/4th of earth's surface. As per the UN estimates, the total amount of water on earth is about 1400 Mill.Cu.Kms which is enough to cover the earth with a layer of 3000 mtrs depth. However only 2.7% of the total water available on the earth is fresh water of which about 75.2% lies frozen in Polar Regions and another 22.6% is present as ground water.The crisis about economic water resources devt. and better management thus arises because most of the water is not available for use and secondly it is characterized by its highly uneven spatial distribution.Access to adequate water supply is not only a fundamental need and human right as per UN MDGs. One of its targets is to: "Halve, by 2015, the proportion of people without sustainable access to safe drinking water and basic sanitation." The lack of access to adequate water contributes to water-based disease transmission and water-washed diseases, leads to mortality, morbidity and illnesses (eg.Diarrohoea). 200 people are interviewed from four villages of Nizamabad town. ChiSquare, Markov tests used to predict Cons.Behavior patterns. The target groups are Mini.of Rural & Urban Devt, Consumers & Bottlers.

The basic characteristic of oral controlled release system is to produce therapeutically efficacious blood levels in a constant controlled manner over a long duration. One of the technique is modified oral devices, the rate of drug absorption determination be adjusted through a controlled rate of drug release from the matrix core layered with a swellable polymer by modulating the drug release. These systems can be developed on large scale using layered tablet press.

The objective of this work was to develop of a suitable SR tablet formulation of Eplerenone and to study the effect of polymers such as HPMC K4M, HPMC K15M, NaCMC, Guar gum, Xanthan gum and Karaya gum on drug release. Profile and to get an optimized formulation. Eplerenone binds to the mineralo corticoidreceptorand blocks the binding of aldosterone, a component of the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system (RAAS). It has a half life of 4 hrs. When dose is missing it may cause nocturnal attack, so attention was made to develop the Sustained release tablets of Eplerenone. The purpose of controlled release systems is to maintain drug concentration in the blood or in target tissues at a desired value as long as possible. In other words, they are able to exert a control on the drug release rate and duration. In the market only IR tablets of Eplerenone were available which are costly. So there is a need to formulate SRMT of Eplerenone to reduce the cost and increase the patient compliance."

In recent years, in association with progress and innovation in the field of pharmaceutical technology, there has been an increasing effort to develop prolonged release dosage forms for many drugs. Correspondingly, a growing number of new prolonged release dosage forms have been submitted for regulatory approval. Prolonged release dosage forms have many advantages in safety and efficacy over immediate release drug products in that the frequency of dosing can be reduced, drug efficacy can be prolonged and the incidence and/or intensity of adverse effects can be decreased. However, some prolonged release dosage forms have less clear rationale or are developed for active ingredients which are not appropriate for prolonged release dosage forms. In other cases, prolonged release dosage forms are designed without full consideration of the basic properties of the drugs. Moreover, standards for dissolution tests, which are important for evaluating prolonged release dosage forms, have not appropriately been established. As a result, it is often difficult to evaluate whether a prolonged release dosage form is acceptable or not.
