Introduction:
SEDATIVES CNS depressant drugs , reduce excitement & tension, & produce calmness & relaxation.
HYPNOTICS drugs that produce sleep similar to that of natural arousal sleep.
Both sedative & hypnotic action may reside in the same drug.
A small dose may act as sedative, whereas a large dose of the same drug may act as a hypnotic.
SAR of Benzodiazepine:
Presence of phenyl ring / pyridyl ring promotes sedative-hypnotic activity at C5-position.
If presence of electron withdrawing group like –Cl or –NO2 (Lorazepam, Clonazepam) at R2’ position, then sedative-hypnotic activity .
Presence of electron withdrawing group like –Cl,
-F, –NO2 at C7 position, activity.
Substitution at 6,8,9 position of carbon atom, activity.
Shifting of double bond present between –N4 & C5 or saturation of double bond activity.
R3 = alkyl group, activity & R3 = -OH or –COOH activity & R1 = -CH3 ,if larger group is present activity.
Sleep is mainly loss of consciousness. Sleep is an architectured cyclic process.
These drugs maintains the sleep-wake cycle.
Insomnia is a symptom & its proper treatment depends on finding the cause of sleeplessness. To treat this type of patient, use sedative-hypnotics.
High dose of the drugs may lead to coma or death.

Pharmacy is the art, practice of profession of preparing, preserving, compounding, & dispensing a substance or drug
meant for social and pharmacological welfare.
The pharmaceutical industry develops, produces, and markets drugs or pharmaceuticals for use as medications.
Pharmaceutical companies may deal in generic or brand medications and medical devices. They are subject to a variety of
lawsand regulationsthatgovernthe patenting, testing, safety, efficacy and marketing of drugs. The government started to
encourage the growth of drug manufacturing by Indian companies in the early 1960s, and with the Patents Act in 1970.
However,economicliberalizationin90s bythe formerPrime MinisterP.V.NarasimhaRao and the then Finance Minister, Dr.
Manmohan Singhenabledthe industrytobecome what it is today. This patent act removed composition patents from food
and drugs, and though it kept process patents, these were shortened to a period of five to seven years.
In a word, the pharmaceutical industryisresponsibleforthe development, production and marketing of medications. Thus,
its immense importance as a global sector is evident.
Workplace training, also known as trade or industry training, involves learning and earning money while you work.
Apprenticeships are one type of workplace training. You can do workplace training in a range of hands-on industries.
Workplace training usually combines on-the-job and off-the-job training. You'll have to:
1. attend all courses that are part of the industry training – these may be block courses, evening courses or day release
classes, and are offered by a polytechnic or other education provider
2. Complete on-the-job assessments to show you are competent doing practical tasks, and to work towards your national
certificate
3. Complete off-the-job assessments to work towards completing your qualification.
The IndustryTrainingAuthorityisaprovincial governmentagencyinthe province of BritishColumbia, Canada. Established in
2004, to replace the Industry, Training and Apprenticeship Commission (ITAC), its mandate is to facilitate training in the
trades and industry occupations in the province.

Hazard pictographs are a type of labeling system that alerts individuals efficiently at a quick glance if there are
hazardous chemicals present. The symbols help identify if the chemicals that are going to be in use may potentially
cause physical harm or hard to the environment. The symbols are distinctive as they are shaped like a diamond
with red borders. These signs can be divided into:
1. Explosive (exploding bomb)
2. Flammable (flame)
3. Oxidizing (flame above a circle)
4. Corrosive (corrosion of table and hand)
5. Acute Toxicity (skull and crossbones)
6. Hazardous to environment (dead tree and fish)

The theory of constraints (TOC) is a managementparadigmthatviewsanymanageablesystemasbeinglimitedin
achievingmore of itsgoalsby a verysmall numberof constraints.
Total OrganicCarbon(TOC) is an indirectmeasure of organicmoleculespresentinwaterand measuredascarbon.
Organicmoleculesare introducedintothe waterfromthe source water,frompurification,andfrom distribution
systemmaterials.TOCismeasuredforbothprocesscontrol purposesandtosatisfyregulatoryrequirements.
One approach usedtomeasure TOC involvessubtractingthe measuredinorganiccarbon(IC) fromthe measuredtotal
carbon (TC),whichis the sum of organic carbonand inorganiccarbon:TOC = TC – IC.

Benefits of the BCG matrix:-
The keybenefitsof the BCGmatrix are:
It isverysimple touse and explain,asthere are onlytwodimensionsandfourquadrants
It isa reputable andlong-standingstrategicmodel thathasprovedto be robustovertime and significantchangesin
the competitive environment
Usuallythe measurements required –marketgrowthand relative marketshare –are available tothe company,along
withcompetitivemeasures,makingitrelativelyeasytoexecute and prepare
Clearguidance isprovided foreachquadrant intermsof the approach toinvestmentandsupportof businessunits
(or brandsor products) – perhapswiththe exceptionof the questionmarkquadrant(please seediscussionof the
questionmarkquadrant)
It isan importantmodel forallocatingresourcesforfirmspursuingmarketshare goalsandseeking experience curve
benefits
The firmhas a basisforallocatingresourcesacrossitsbusinessunits,basedupon competitive position andmarket
opportunity–makingfor a more strategicbaseddecision
Althoughthe matrix isdevelopedbaseduponhistorical/currentposition,the fourquadrantsof the BCG matrix
provide some strategicguidance forthe future
The matrix is more beneficial forlarge-scale manufacturingoperationswhere experience curve benefitscanbe
realized –that is,where theyisa strongcorrelationbetweenmarketshare profitability
For students,itprovidesagoodunderstandingof the conceptof aligningcompetitivestrengthswithmarket
opportunitiesinthe developmentof a suitable strategyforthe organization.
Limitations of the BCG-Matrix:-
It neglectsthe effectsof synergiesbetweenbusinessunits.
Highmarket share isnot the onlysuccessfactor.
Market growthis notthe only indicatorforattractivenessof amarket.
SometimesDogscanearnevenmore cash as CashCows.
The problemsof gettingdataon the marketshare and marketgrowth.
There isno cleardefinitionof whatconstitutesa“market”.

What Does A SWOT Evaluate?
What are Strengths?
Strengths:
What advantages(forexample,skills,educationorpersonal industry connections) dotheyhave thatothersdon’t
have?
What do theydobetterthan anyone else?
What personal resourcesdotheyhave accessto?
What do otherpeople (andtheirsuperiorsinparticular) see astheirstrengths?
In lookingatyouremployees strengths,thinkabouttheminrelationtothe otheremployees
Example:if an RSM is making call attainmentand theotheremployeesaround themarenot,then this is likely to be
strengthin their currentrole.
What are Weaknesses?
What shouldthey avoid?
What could your employeesimprove?

What thingsare the people around themlikelyto see as weaknesses? (qualitiesthatthe employee maybe
unaware of) Do co-workersconsistentlyout-performthemin keyareas?
It isbest to be realisticnow, and helpthem face any unpleasanttruths if possible.
Examples– unorganizedbinders,toocasual dress, poorrapport, poor time management.
What are Opportunities?
Opportunities:
A useful approach to lookingat opportunitiesisalso to look at employees’strengthsand ask you whetherthese
openup any opportunities.
Alternatively,lookat theirweaknessesand ask whetherthey couldopen up opportunitiesbyeliminatingthem.
Changesin technology,markets and our company on both a broad and narrow scale
Changesin the company’s needfor future managers – havingmanagerial skillsorwantingto improve their
managementskills(FastTrack Candidate)
Changes insocial patterns, populationprofiles,lifestyle changes,etc.
What are Threats?
Threats:
What obstaclesdo they face?
What are the people around themdoing?
Is their job (or the demand for the thingsthey do) changing?
Is changing technologythreateningtheir position?
Could theirweaknessesseriouslythreaten them? Today’s standard of technical competence will be tomorrow’s
level ofincompetence.The technological landscape requiresconstant upgrading of skillsand proficiencies.

Tablet Hardness Tester:-
Tablet hardnesstesting,is a laboratorytechnique usedbythe pharmaceutical industrytotestthe breakingpoint and
structural integrityof a tablet"underconditionsof storage,transportation,andhandlingbefore usage" The breakingpointof
a tabletisbasedon itsshape. It issimilarto friability testingbuttheyare notthe same thing.
Tablethardnesstestersfirstappearedinthe 1930s. In the 1950s, the Strong-
Cobbtesterwasintroduced.ItwaspatentedbyRobertAlbrechtonJuly21,
1953. and usedanair pump.The tabletbreakingforce wasbasedonarbitrary
unitsreferredtoas Strong-Cobbs.The newone gave readingsthatwere
inconsistenttothose givenbythe oldertesters. Later,electro-mechanical testing
machineswere introduced.Theyoftenincludemechanismslike motordrives,
and the abilitytosendmeasurementstoacomputeror printer.
There are 2 main processestotesttablethardness:compressiontestingand3
pointbendtesting.Forcompressiontesting,the analystgenerallyalignsthe
tabletina repeatable way,andthe tabletissqueezedby2 jaws.The first
machinescontinuallyappliedforce withaspringandscrew threaduntil the tablet
startedto break.Whenthe tabletfractured,the hardnesswasreadwitha sliding
scale.
There are several devicesusedtoperformthistask:
The Monsanto testerwasdeveloped50years ago.The designconsistsof "abarrel containingacompressible spring

Whennot inuse,itshouldbe kepthalf immersedinwatercontainedinasmall beakerandpreferablybe coveredbyabell jar
to avoiddustaccumulationinthe waterand lossof waterthroughevaporation.
Before use,the meteriscalibratedusingtwostandardbuffersof knownpH.Usuallybuffersof pH4.0, 7.0 and 9.2 are
available commercially.The instrumentisswitchedonandleftfor30 minutestowarmup. The temperature calibrationknob
isrotatedto the temperature of the solutionswhose pHistothe measured.
Then,the electrode isdippedintothe buffer(pH7.0).If the readingisnot 7.00, the pH calibrationknobisrotatedtill the
readingis7.00. Then,the electrode isdippedinanotherbuffer(pH4.0 or 9.2).
If the readingissame as the pH of the bufferused,the instrumentisworkingproperly.Otherwise,the electrode isactivated
by dippingin0.1 N HC1 for 24 hours.Aftercalibration,the pHof samplesisdeterminedbydippingthe electrode intothem
and notingthe reading.
Everytime,before dippingintoanysolution,the electrode shouldbe rinsedwithdistilledwater.The samplesshouldnot
containany suspendedstickymaterials,whichmayformacoatingon the tip of the electrode andreduce itssensitivity.
The old model pHmetershave double electrodes(one of themactingasreference electrode),while new modelshave single

It mainlyinvolvesstaining,motilitytest,cultural characteristics,aseriesof biochemical testsandfinallysearchingthe name of
the bacteriain ‘Bergey’sManual of Determinative Bacteriology’bymatchingthe resultswiththoseavailableinthe manual.
The automaticbacteriaidentificationsystemautomaticallyidentifiesthe bacteriainveryshorttime.
The system,like VITEK2 (Figure 3.14) usesdisposable cards.One cardisrequiredforthe identificationof one bacteria.The
systemcan accommodate a seriesof cards,whichcan be arrangedon a cassette,thusenablingthe identificationof several
bacteriaat a time.

The dehydratedmediainthe wellsbecome hydratedby the suspensionliquid,therebyallowinggrowthof the bacteria.After
a prescribedperiodof incubation,the colourchangesinall the wellsare recordedautomaticallyinthe system.
The resultsof the color changesgo to a computerattachedto the system.The computerautomaticallycomparesthe results

The renownedautomaticbacteriaidentificationsystemsare VITEK2 and API.While VITEK2 workson the above principle,the
API(Analytical ProfileIndexing) system(Figure 3.13) usesa slightlydifferentmethodforthe automaticidentificationof
bacteria,whichinvolvesmanual inoculationandexternalincubation.
