REVIEW: PENGARUH PEMBENTUKAN KOKRISTAL MENGGUNAKAN KOFORMER ASAM KARBOKSILAT DENGAN METODE SOLVENT EVAPORATION DAN SOLVENT DROP GRINDING TERHADAP BIOAVAILABILITAS ZAT AKTIF
Authors: Ferdiansyah Rival , Ardiansyah Seno Aulia , Rachmaniar Revika , Yuniar Indriani
Published: September 2021

Kelarutan merupakan faktor fisikokimia penting yang mempengaruhi bioavailabilitas dan efektivitas terapi obat. Sekitar 40% atau lebih dari kandidat obat yang tersedia memiliki kelarutan yang rendah dalam air sehingga kelarutan dari zat aktif perlu ditingkatkan agar bioavailabilitasnya ikut meningkat, salah satunya dengan cara teknik kokristalisasi. Dalam studi ini akan dikemukakan review terkait pengaruh pembentukan kokristal zat aktif yang memiliki kelarutan rendah dalam air menggunakan koformer golongan asam karboksilat dengan metode solvent evaporation dan solvent drop grinding terhadap peningkatan bioavailabilitas. Zat aktif yang berhasil dibuat kokristal dengan peningkatan bioavailabilitas menggunakan koformer golongan asam karboksilat dengan metode solvent evaporation yaitu apixaban, aceclofenac, klorbipram, telmisartan, paliperidon, dan metronidazol, sedangkan untuk metode solvent drop grinding diantaranya ketokonazol, meloksikam, dipfluzin, asam galat, gliclazid, dan itrakonazol. Berdasarkan kajian pustaka, dapat disimpulkan bahwa pembentukan kokristal menggunakan koformer golongan asam karboksilat dengan metode solvent evaporation dan solvent drop grinding berpotensi meningkatkan bioavailabilitas zat aktif. Peningkatan terjadi karena terbentuk ikatan hidrogen antara zat aktif dengan koformernya serta adanya fase kristal baru yang menandakan kokristal telah terbentuk dan mengindikasikan peningkatan kelarutan sehingga bioavailabilitasnya ikut meningkat.

An Assessment of the Impacts of the Pension System Reforms on Employees’ Performance and Retention in Nigeria Distilleries Limited, Lagos Nigeria
Authors: R. Samuel , K.A. Ajibose
Published: September 2021

Consequently, upon many decades of inefficient and corrupt pension management system in Nigeria, public servants in Nigeria dreaded retirement because of the reported plight of retirees who were seen dying on queues or living under the bridges at the Federal Capital City of Abuja. While an average worker in other parts of the world looks forward to a decent and enjoyable post-work life, Nigerians lived in fear of ageing and retirement resulting in several malpractices such as multiple declarations of age with intent to keep them at work far past the official retirement age. Factors arising from pension inadequacies, poor funding, embezzlements and long arrears especially in the public sector led to the initiatives for restructuring of the country’s pension system and the enactment of the Pension Reform Act of 2004 and its review Act of 2014. The reforms aimed at making pension administration more effective, efficient, to make and improve on the question of adequacy and fund security. However, key problems in the management of the new pension system involve the perception of the degree and significance of its impact and whether key objectives are satisfied according to the intent of the reforms. This study was designed to examine whether the reforms have contributed significantly to addressing employees' post-work-life concerns and how such assessments impact their performance. Specifically, the paper examines if a relationship exists between the new pension reform act and employee retention, as well as organizational performance using a sample of employees of Nigerian Distilleries Ltd. Three hypotheses were tested at a 0.05 level of significance, using the inferential statistics of Regression Analysis with the aid of Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS version 20). The findings show that there is a significant relationship between the New Pension Reform Act and employee’s performance. Also, the New Pension Reform Act has a positive effect on employee retention, compensation design must reflect this option in order to attract, motivate and retain employees. With further evidence that the pension system has the propensity to align the individual and corporate goals by increasing their job commitment, performance and motivation, the paper concludes that proper implementation of the provisions of the pension reform act is a prerequisite for achieving its objectives.

Authors: Muhammad Waris  , Dr. Badariah Haji Din
Published: September 2021

The objective of our study is to investigate the impact of the corporate governance on the IPO performance with moderating impact of the family ownership. To investigate that relationship, we used the data of IPOs registered from 2008 to 2017 in Pakistan Stock exchange. We used the OLS methods to analysis of the data. Our findings shows that Board independence (BIND) has positive significant relationship with IPO return, it means that independent directors have the more technical knowledge and experience in maintaining the IPO return and making the strong policy for the organizations. CEO duality has the significant negative relationship with IPO return with (P=0.0833), it means that when CEO has the combine rule then decisions are not distributed, and monopoly existed in decisions that leads to the negative impact on the IPO performance. Board diligence, Board size, ownership concentration and gender diversity have no impact are being seen in our analysis. In the moderating effect of the family ownership in reference to board diligence (BD) the results changed to significant positive relationship, it means that with the family-owned firms when board meetings increased then increased in the IPO return due to some factors. With the moderation of the family ownership the results of the Board independence also improved that shows the role of the family-owned firm in between them. Women in the board that means the gender diversity has no impact but with the moderating effect of the family ownership women in the board has significant positive impact.
This study is helpful for the financial managers, investors, and the finance students and also for the government, in maintaining the code of the corporate governance.

Authors: Muhammad Waris  , Muhammad Asadullah  , Muhammad Kamran  , Muhammad Mushtaq Nadeem
Published: September 2021

This study seeks to explore the relationship between corporate governance and dividend payout policy Mediating role of leverage between corporate governance and dividend payout in PSE 100 index nonfinancial firms is also explored. Relationship between corporate governance with dividend payout and leverage as determinant of dividend is already established but mediating role of leverage is checked for the first time.
CEO duality, audit committee, number of meetings, independent directors and board size are taken indicators of corporate governance. The empirical results show that leverage plays mediating role between corporate governance and dividend payout policy when CEO is not holding the office of Chairman BOD and audit committee exists. Board size is significantly and positively related with leverage and the leverage is significantly and negatively related with dividend payout ratio.
Result reveal that if a company has audit committee and CEO is separate from chairman board of directors and want to increase the dividend payout then the company will have to decrease its leverage. Empirical results show that board size is significantly and positively related to leverage and leverage is significantly and negatively related to dividend payout. So the company will have to keep its board size minimum to minimize the leverage and maximize dividend payout if it is willing to pay higher dividends. On the other hand, it is found that the investors who opt to purchase shares with the intent to receive higher dividend they will have to select a company with minimum board size. It is revealed from the empirical results that smaller board size keeps the leverage minimum and consequently dividend will be maximum.

Posible fundamentación de una “Teología del fracaso conyugal”
Authors: Silvio Botero José
Published: September 2021

Diversos signos de los tiempos están sugiriendo la necesidad y conveniencia de elaborar una ‘teología del fracaso conyugal’. En el ambiente teológico postconciliar surgen algunos elementos que pueden considerarse como presupuestos para llevar a cabo esta tarea. El hombre, que había sido contemplado desde una visión ‘esencialista’ (como un ser perfecto), hoy debe ser considerado como un ser limitado y en proceso de desarrollo y de crecimiento. Fracasar no puede significar rechazo, marginación de la historia de la salvación. La persona que ha fracasado puede y debe redimirse.

Star Trek: Voyager—The Monstrousness of Humans in “Scorpion, Parts 1 & 2”
Authors: Clemens-Smucker Judith
Published: September 2021

“Scorpion, Parts 1 & 2” examines humanity, hybridity, and monstrosity through several lenses, ultimately deciding that remaining human is both desired and important enough that monstrous behavior is accepted to preserve it. In 1989 Star Trek: The Next Generation introduced the Borg, a monstrous, hybrid species that swept through the galaxy assimilating all other species into their single-minded existence. The Borg reigned as the ultimate monster of the franchise until Star Trek: Voyager, when Species 8472 fought its way into the picture. When Voyager confronted this new species, the crew had to decide where its safety lay—did they join forces with their enemy, the Borg, to defeat this new threat, or should they find another way to avoid destruction? While the Voyager crew considered the Borg and Species 8472 as monsters, this episode painted the crew and thus, humanity, alongside the aliens as equally monstrous because of the lengths they went to survive. Humans and aliens are held to different standards in this text when it comes to judging their behavior as monstrous or appropriate, unacceptable or acceptable, but become as monstrous as the species they attempt to escape.

PERSPECTIVA DA GESTANTE FRENTE AO CALENDÁRIO VACINAL NA ATENÇÃO PRIMÁRIA À SAÚDE
Authors: De Azevedo Rocha Gomes Pollyana , De Sousa Helaine , De Paula Enimar , Ribeiro Wanderson Alves
Published: September 2021

A Política Nacional de Atenção Básica (PNAB) foi aprovada pela portaria GM/MS, número 2436, de 21 de setembro de 2017, que estabelece diretrizes e normas para a organização da PNAB, que atualiza definições, responsabilidades, infraestrutura, ambiência, funcionamento da Atenção Primária à Saúde, atribuições dos profissionais, processo de trabalho e financiamento das ações. O presente estudo tem o objetivo principal de reproduzir a perspectiva da gestante frente a vacinação. Para tal, trata-se de um estudo descritivo do tipo bibliográfico com abordagem qualitativa dos dados através da análise de publicações científicos. A vacinação em gestantes acontece em um momento de vulnerabilidade e preocupação da mulher, ao passo que, a mesma se sente responsável pela saúde e bem-estar do feto que está gestando. O cuidado pré-natal é imprescindível para a qualidade do trabalho de parto, parto e puerpério. Diante desse contexto, a OPAS e Centro Latino Americano de Perinatologia (CLAP) elaboraram rotinas, protocolos e manuais a fim de orientar os profissionais quanto as condutas que devem ser tomadas nas consultas de pré-natal e promover a qualificação desse cuidado. Contudo, pode-se concluir a partir dos estudos analisados que a reduzida qualificação dos profissionais que realizam as consultas de pré-natal sobre o calendário vacinal resulta na baixa adesão vacinal das gestantes. Com isso, pode aumentar os índices de infecções evitáveis em gestantes e em bebês. Para isso, é necessário que os profissionais busquem conhecimento acerca do assunto, procurando aprimorar as orientações fornecidas às gestantes. E ainda, é importante que as instituições de saúde ofereçam cursos e capacitações aos profissionais facilitando a atualizações dos mesmos sobre o tema.

Authors: Ershova Galina
Published: September 2021

El 10 de septiembre de 2002, en el territorio de un cementerio ubicado en las cercanías de la ciudad de Ulán-Udé (Buriatia, Rusia), tuvo lugar la exhumación del cuerpo del lama (monje) budista Dardzhó-Dashá Itiguélov, quien había fallecido en el año de 1927. La exhumación fue realizada por iniciativa del jerarca de la Iglesia Budista de Rusia, Jambo-Lama Ayushéev, de acuerdo  con los permisos  de los familiares del difunto y en  presencia de las autoridades oficiales y de especialistas forenses. En la caja vertical, que no era ataúd, el anciano lama budista se encontraba sentado en la posición de flor de loto, cubierto hasta la cabeza con lienzos de seda.

Alvar Núñez Cabeza de Vaca: una mirada desde la Antropología

Es muy probable que la destrucción de México Tenochtitlán en poco menos de dos años, haya inyectado confianza a los conquistadores, que casi de inmediato buscaron nuevos derroteros para cumplimentar su ambición desmedida por obtener riqueza. Cuál sería su sorpresa, al constatar que al norte, había otras naciones a las que nunca lograron dominar del todo, ya que ahí habitaban grupos étnicos que los resistieron ferozmente.

En fechas muy tempranas de la ocupación hispana, Álvar Núñez Cabeza de Vaca recorre parte de ese territorio norteño y narra tiempo después su experiencia de vida, al confrontarse con algunas etnias ahora ya extintas, y por esa razón, el rescate de los rasgos inherentes a sus culturas cobran interés, a fin de ir construyendo el conocimiento de esos grupos humanos. Es la pretensión de este documento.
Undertaking the Journey Together: Peer Learning for a Successful and Enjoyable PhD Experience
Authors: Stracke Elke
Published: September 2021

This paper deals with the challenge of supervising PhD students. Any supervision is likely to constitute a challenging experience for the supervisor, even more so when they are a new academic staff member with little experience in PhD supervision in the Australasian context. This paper shows how one supervisor addressed the challenge by fostering a more collaborative research culture in her programme (Applied Linguistics) through peer group work, and can serve as a starting point for action for supervisors who are looking for possibilities to integrate their students into learning communities.
The paper provides the theoretical rationale for peer learning in doctoral education and emphasizes the desirability for its implementation into supervisory practice from an educational perspective. The description of practice of one particular peer group allows for interesting insights into the genesis, activities, and self-evaluation of this group that emphasized the value of learning with and from each other through exchange, insight into the PhD process, feedback, moral support in a friendly, supportive environment, and research training. The paper concludes by discussing implications, and challenges of this study for practice, policy, and research, as well its limitations.
Right from the Start: A Rationale for Embedding Academic Literacy Skills in University Courses
Authors: Gunn Cathy , Hearne Shari , Sibthorpe Julie
Published: September 2021

This paper summarizes relevant research concepts, and then describes a case where online tutorials were used to integrate one generic academic skill - information literacy - into first year business courses. Tutorials covering the skills and information required to complete course assignments were designed so the content can be easily modified for different subjects and assessment tasks. Feedback from trials suggests that significant gains can be made using this embedded approach. Theoretical grounding of design concepts, integration into course activities and collaboration between course lecturers and academic support staff are all key success factors. The authors propose that this integrated approach is the most effective way to promote academic literacy skills development in large university classes, and that the learning design principles used in this case for Information Literacy could work equally well in other academic skill areas. Further research will be conducted to test this assumption.
Pedagogical Approaches that Facilitate Writing in Postgraduate Research Candidature in Science and Technology
Authors: Catterall Janice , Ross Pauline , Aitchison Claire , Burgin Shelley
Published: September 2021

The current higher education climate seems to be demanding increasing levels of written output from doctoral researchers during candidature. In this context this study employed an online questionnaire, individual interviews and focus group discussions to collect information on the challenges and successes of doctoral writing. It was found that feedback on student writing was universally regarded as the primary pedagogical tool for teaching and learning research writing and for most, the supervisor’s role was central to this. Some supervisors employed ‘writing for publication’ as a complimentary tool. A number of supervisors and students also reported positively about the value of participating in social writing and critiquing environments such as writing groups, writing retreats, or writing for peer feedback. This research suggests that there would be benefit in tertiary institutions pursuing a more systematic approach to the support of writing both as a learning tool for research students and for the promotion of a vibrant, scholarly, research community.
AVALIAÇÃO NO ENSINO FUNDAMENTAL NO COTIDIANO ESCOLAR
Authors: NEVES EVA
Published: September 2021

O presente artigo aborda o tema sobre avaliação no ensino fundamental no cotidiano escolar. O objetivo deste estudo é identificar as mudanças necessárias ao processo sistemático de ensino-aprendizagem se desenvolve em três momentos fundamentais que se intercomplementam e que são de grande importância no trabalho do professor: planejamento, orientação da aprendizagem e avaliação. É através deste último que se vai verificar em que medida e com que valor a ação pedagógica atendeu, ou não, aos objetivos previstos e até que ponto se deram as mudanças pretendidas nos alunos. Não se trata, apenas, de verificar o sucesso ou o fracasso do aluno em tal atividade, mas de examinar se as ações planejadas no processo ensino-aprendizagem foram adequadas para permitir ao aluno passar para novos níveis de dificuldade. Concluiu-se no estudo que as funções essenciais da avaliação dizem respeito ao educando como forma de conduzir o processo de elaboração do conhecimento, constituindo-se de um instrumento de autoconhecimento, mas que por muito tempo se constitui em instrumento de mensuração e seleção de alunos. O processo de avaliação defendido e praticado pela escola é portador de poder de eliminação e seleção social sendo ineficaz em descobrir outras possíveis capacidades dos estudantes, por isso é apontada como um fator causador do fracasso escolar.

Authors: FEITOZA GLAUCIA KELLY
Published: September 2021

O lúdico faz parte do processo de desenvolvimento intelectual da criança, favorecendo também o desenvolvimento de várias capacidades e todas são importantes para que esse desenvolvimento seja saudável. Alguns profissionais da educação, por falta de conhecimento ou até por falta de vontade não consideram o brincar como parte do processo educativo, impedindo assim o crescimento e desenvolvimento social, cognitivo e afetivo da criança de forma natural. Diante do exposto, em que influencia o brincar no desenvolvimento da criança? Como e porque as brincadeiras devem ser consideradas uma interação lúdica séria e parte do processo? Qual é a dificuldade dos educadores em associar o papel de ensinar com o ato de brincar? A finalidade geral desse artigo é levar os educadores a questionar-se sobre o lúdico, enfatizando a importância de a criança construir com seu desenvolvimento físico, cognitivo e social, compreendendo a importância da ação do brincar escolar cotidianamente, de forma espontânea e livre, permitindo que a criança explore seu potencial de forma ampla e prazerosa.

Background: The ethanol extract of Combretum dolichopentalum (EECD) is employed in Nigeria to stabilize the uterus after parturition. The ability of EECD to confer protection on rats destabilized by moderate concentrations of carbon tetrachloride (CCl4) was evaluated. Methods: Fifty rats were assigned to 5 groups of 10 rats each. The experimental animals after acclimatization were handled accordingly: Groups 1 and 2 respectively were maintained on food and water only throughout the study. Group 3, 4, and group 5 were pre-treated with 250 mg/kg and 500 mg/kg body weight of EECD and 50 mg/kg of silymarin for 28 respectively. All groups except group 1 were intoxicated to 0.2 ml/kg body weight of CCl4, administered via an intraperitoneal route on day 29. Serum pipetted from the blood of the rats after cardiac puncture was assayed for antioxidant enzymes, lipid peroxidation product and serum iron, zinc and biocarbonate. Haematological analysis was also conducted. Results: Administration of CCl4 at 0.2 ml/kg b.w slightly increased the oxidizing species as indicated in the concentration of malondialdehyde in the rats while reducing the antioxidant enzymes; it increased the Iron and zinc concentrations and also the haematological parameters except for the white blood cells. However, this was corrected by pre-treatment with the EECD dosedependently. Conclusion: These characteristics portends that the crude ethanol extract of C. dolichopentalum could be employed to correct minor oxidative perturbation induced by CCl4 intoxication

In the current study, a series of piperine – piperazine analogues (5a to 5f) were designed and synthesized. The piperine was isolated from pepper and used for the conjugation with heterocyclic moiety for better biological activity. The piperazine heterocyclic was chosen for conjugation with piperine. The newly synthesized structures were determined by IR, 1H NMR and 13C NMR spectral data. The compounds were examined for their anti‐microbial activity against gram-positive (Bacillus subtilis) and gram-negative (Vibrio cholerae) bacteria using the agar well diffusion method. The newly synthesized compounds exhibited capable activities against V. cholerae and B. subtilis and it showed minimum inhibitory concentration. Among all the synthesized compounds, 5f has the highest activity (26 mm) against gram-positive bacteria and (29mm) against gram-negative bacteria. The remaining compounds showed appreciable antibacterial activity. The enhanced activity of the synthesized compounds may be due to the presence of conjugated amide linkage with the natural product piperine and piperazine heterocyclic molecule. The substituents present on the aromatic (nitro-substituted) ring also influenced the activity of the compound.

Published: September 2021

Este estudo apresenta os diferentes métodos, desenvolvidos recentemente, quanto a quantificação, extração, manutenção, aplicação e fontes de antocianinas. Um dos métodos mais eficiente de extração de antocianinas a partir de fontes alimentares é a extração líquida pressurizada. As fontes, são bastante variadas e pode-se extrair antocianinas de diferentes resíduos agroindústrias, como é o caso dos bagaços de uva, da casca da jabuticaba e de juçara. A vida útil das antocianinas é afetada diretamente pela temperatura de armazenamento, sendo este um dos mais importantes fatores de degradação das antocianinas que está diretamente relacionada com o tipo de antocianina, a origem das amostras e a temperatura de armazenamento, devendo cada antocianina ser estudada de acordo com a sua origem para evitar a sua perda. Os resultados encontrados mostram a possibilidade de utilizar resíduos de frutas como fonte de compostos de antocianina para aplicações industriais, sendo estes possíveis substitutos dos corantes artificiais.
