Published: February 2025

Introduction: There is strong evidence that the prevention of malnutrition in infants and children improves with exclusive breastfeeding during the first 6 months.
Objectives: This cross-sectional community-based study of 101 women aims to describe breastfeeding related practices in two rural villages of the Oromia region of Ethiopia.
Methods: Women having a live child under 4 years of age were eligible for inclusion. Data were collected through semi-structured face-to-face interviews about maternal habits regarding breastfeeding, socio-cultural aspects and living conditions.
Results: Only 3% of women followed WHO recommendations and initiated breastfeeding <1h after birth. 35% started breastfeeding >1h after birth and 62% practiced pre-lacteal feeding. 48,6% of the mothers who initiated breastfeeding >1h after birth and 68.3% of the women who practiced pre-lacteal feeding gave birth at home and were attended by relatives while all who initiated breastfeeding <1h after birth gave birth in health centers.
Conclusions: The information generated from this study could be useful to design appropriate strategies for a nutritional education intervention program for women.
Alimentación y actividad física para prevenir la fragilidad.
Authors: MARTÍN GARCÍA Rocío , MUÑOZ DELGADO Noelia , MARTÍN SALINAS Carmen
Published: February 2025

En los años 90 del siglo pasado, la Organización Mundial de la Salud sacó a relucir el concepto de “envejecimiento activo” con el objetivo de mantener la independencia y funcionalidad a medida que se envejece. Este concepto lleva aparejada la fragilidad que acompaña a le edad, unida frecuentemente a la desnutrición y a la sarcopenia.
Indudablemente, se han desarrollado múltiples herramientas de cribado y guías de actuación para prevenir y abordar la fragilidad. No obstante, aún son escasas las enfermeras que asumen esta competencia dentro de su cartera de servicios y menos todavía, las que investigan y desarrollan guías de actuación inmersas en el cuidado.
En esta revisión y siguiendo directrices de La Estrategia de Promoción de la Salud y Prevención en el Sistema Nacional de Salud que se desarrolla en el marco del Abordaje de la Cronicidad en el SNS, hemos abordado estrategias de prevención de la fragilidad a través de la alimentación, los suplementos nutricionales orales y la actividad física, así como la intervención de la enfermería comunitaria.

Objective.
To explore the impact of public health, socio-economic and environmental factors on the rate of infection and mortality of SARS-CoV-2 on gender and age groups in Peru.
Methods.
We explored the relationships, using Pearson's correlation and stepwise linear regression, between the infection and mortality cases per 100,000 individuals with public health data (obesity prevalence, total number of health infrastructure, hypertension prevalence, active smokers, tuberculosis cases), socio-economic data (health needs not met, childhood malnutrition, access to potable water, access to chlorinated water system) and environmental data (NO2 concentration) in Peru. We used confirmed cases from the 26 department level jurisdictions from 2020, before known variants were registered within the country and focused on gender and age groups, as well as case-fatality rate. 
Results.
Multiple linear regression models indicate obesity, air quality, access to chlorinated water system, and prevalence of smoking are influential factors in the distribution of infection and mortality for middle-age and elderly female and male groups, but prevalence of TB and health needs not met were more important for children and young adults in Peru. Case-fatality rate was weakly associated with NO2 concentration.
Conclusions.
Obesity, exposure to poor air quality, and socio-economic conditions are significant factors in the morality of individuals above the age of 40 for both men and women, while other health factors appear to be more important to those younger than 40. The combination of these factors played a significant role during the first wave of SARS-CoV-2 infection in Peru in 2020.

Authors: Reyna-Quiñonez Dara , Morejón-Iza Lisseth , Arteaga-Pazmiño Cecilia Liceth
Published: February 2025

Introducción: La inflamación es un mecanismo involucrado en el desarrollo de la diabetes tipo 2 (DM2) que puede estar mediado por el potencial inflamatorio de la dieta.
Objetivos: El objetivo de este estudio fue evaluar el índice inflamatorio de la dieta (IID) de pacientes con DM2.
Materiales y métodos: Estudio transversal realizado en pacientes con DM2 atendidos en el servicio de consulta externa de un hospital de primer nivel de la provincia del Guayas, Ecuador. Los puntajes de IID se calcularon a partir de la ingesta dietética de 33 parámetros derivados de un recordatorio de 24 horas. Los valores de los parámetros se obtuvieron de tablas de composición de alimentos nacionales e internacionales; las puntuaciones negativas se identificaron como antiinflamatorias y las positivas como proinflamatorias.
Resultados: Se evaluó a 41 participantes (53,7% mujeres) con una edad media de 65,78 ± 9,5 años, IMC de 27,53 (25,46 - 30,76) kg/m2, y HbA1c de 9,4 ± 2,33. La puntuación media de IID fue 2,05 ± 1,78. Las puntuaciones del IID por terciles fueron fueron: tercil 1 (−1,15–1,16), tercil 2 (1,17–2,71) y tercil 3 (2,72– 5,13). La ingesta de fibra, tiamina, hierro, vitamina B6, vitamina C, vitamina E, betacaroteno, flavonas, flavonoles y flavanonas, fue significativamente mayor en los pacientes del tercil 1 de las puntuaciones del IID (p = < 0,05).
Conclusiones: El IID de pacientes con DM2 se caracterizó como proinflamatorio. Las intervenciones dietéticas podrían modular el potencial inflamatorio de la dieta en sujetos con DM2.

Introducción: La hipertensión arterial se ubica entre las cinco principales causas de discapacidad y muerte en el mundo.  Los principales factores asociados a la presencia de hipertensión arterial son la edad, la presencia del antecedente familiar, obesidad entre otros.
Objetivos: Determinar el riesgo de hipertensión arterial en personal de salud a través de un modelo de regresión.
Métodos: Estudio transversal, se obtuvo acceso a la ficha médica electrónica del departamento de medicina ocupacional; consiste en una muestra de 748 trabajadores de la salud. Se utilizó el modelo de regresión múltiple, utilizando el programa Minitab versión 18.
Resultados: El rango de edad fue de 22 a 75 años, 481 eran mujeres ( =42,05 años, DE=9,96) y 267 varones ( =41,26 años, DE=10,19), el peso fue  = 75,896 kg y la presión sistólica   = 118,65 mmHg. La edad tiene relación con la variación de peso por cada año adicional en la edad cronológica se puede esperar que el peso aumente un promedio de 1,7kg. La presión arterial sistólica aumenta a medida que aumenta el peso. Así mismo, por cada mmHg adicional en la presión arterial sistólica se puede esperar que el peso aumente un promedio de 0,8466kg y aumente 0,8870 en la edad y el hecho de ser varón incrementa en 11,3.  
Conclusión: La presión arterial sistólica esta relaciona con el peso y el sexo. Además, el ser varón y/o de mayor edad y con aumento de peso, incrementa el riesgo de padecer presión arterial sistólica. El modelo puede ser útil en el diagnóstico de la presión arterial sistólica en el personal de salud.

Can dietary fiber knowledge level be a determinant of dietary fiber intake in adolescents? Turkey example.
Authors: SAGLAM Duygu , SAHIN BILGIN Aysenur , ARITICI COLAK Gozde
Published: February 2025

This study aims to determine the relationship between dietary fiber knowledge level, nutritional status, and dietary fiber in adolescents. This research was carried out on 276 adolescents between the ages of 14-17 who studied at the high school level in İnegöl between November 2018 and May 2019 and who voluntarily agreed to participate in the research. A three-stage questionnaire was applied to the participants, and their anthropometric measurements were taken. A dietary fiber knowledge level scale (KADF) was used to determine the level of diet fiber knowledge. Three days of food consumption record was taken to determine the nutritional status. The mean percentage of the adolescents about their level of knowledge about dietary fiber sources (SDF) is 41.0 ± 16.1 (min: 0-max: 100), while the mean percentage of their knowledge about the effects of dietary fiber on health (DFPH) is 63.5 ± 18.1 (min: 0-max: 100). The average of the total score percentage was determined as 52.2 ± 12.3 (min: 18.8-max: 100). Although participants have a high level of knowledge about the health effects of dietary fiber, their awareness of dietary fiber sources is low. The percentage of DFPH scores of female and male adolescents studying in science high school is significantly higher compared to individuals studying in college. There was no statistically significant difference between dietary fiber information levels of adolescents and daily diet, energy, nutrient consumption, and vitamin-mineral intake (p> 0.05). There was no statistically significant difference in dietary fiber information levels and daily dietary fiber consumption of adolescents (p> 0.05). This is since the level of knowledge is a necessary but not sufficient factor in food selection. As a result, more studies are needed to examine the relationship between dietary fiber knowledge level and dietary fiber intake in adolescents.

Published: February 2025

Introducción: La Sarcopenia es una enfermedad definida como la presencia de una baja masa muscular, fuerza y/o rendimiento físico, que genera un impacto negativo para la salud del adulto mayor, por lo que su prevención y tratamiento es fundamental. Nuevos programas de ejercicio con tareas duales motoras y cognitivas han sido propuestos para el trabajo con adultos mayores, pero sus efectos en variables clínicas de la sarcopenia han sido poco explorados.
Objetivo: El objetivo de esta revisión exploratoria fue analizar las características de los programas de ejercicio de tareas duales y sus principales efectos en las variables clínicas de la Sarcopenia en adultos mayores.
Materiales y Método:  Se realizó una revisión exploratoria siguiendo PRISMA-ScR, buscando en 5 bases de datos (PubMed, Scopus, Web of science, LILACS y PEDro). Utilizando términos en idiomas español, inglés y portugués, hasta enero del 2023. La calidad de la evidencia fue analizada con la escala PEDro.
 
Resultados: De un total de 2570 registros únicos, se seleccionaron 12 ensayos clínicos aleatorizados (58,3% de los estudios con calidad metodológica de moderada a alta). Aumentos en la velocidad de la marcha, longitud del paso, rendimiento físico y fuerza muscular fueron los principales efectos de las intervenciones. Las estrategias motoras incluidas fueron actividades funcionales como caminar, sentarse y levantarse de una silla, que se combinaron con estrategias cognitivas de atención y el lenguaje. Realizadas en sesiones de 30-60 minutos, 2-3 veces por semana durante un máximo de 26 semanas.
Conclusión: Programas de ejercicios con tareas duales motoras y cognitivas generan efectos positivos en la velocidad de la marcha, y fuerza muscular, las cuales son variables importantes para el diagnóstico de la Sarcopenia. Sin embargo, más estudios son necesarios de mejor calidad metodológica que evalúen los efectos de esta modalidad de ejercicios en la masa muscular en adultos mayores.

Cut-off points to determine muscle mass reduction by electrical bioimpedance analysis for the diagnosis of sarcopenia in older adults: a systematic review.
Authors: PINEDA ZULOAGA María Camila , GONZÁLEZ CORREA Clara Helena , MARTÍNEZ DURÁN Angélica Guadalupe
Published: February 2025

Introduction: Sarcopenia is considered a known muscle disease in older adults characterized by reduced muscle mass and physical performance. In 2010, the European Working Group on Sarcopenia in the Elderly (EWGSOP) established criteria for defining sarcopenia based on muscle mass, grip strength, and gait speed. Bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA) has become popular for estimating body composition in different populations, particularly for evaluating sarcopenia in geriatrics. Objective: compares the cut-off points for the determination of decrease in muscle mass using the BIA for the diagnosis of sarcopenia in men and women over 60 years of age in the period from January 1, 2010, to July 19, 2020, a world level.
Methodology: A bibliographic search was carried out in the databases of PubMed, Science Direct, Springer, EBSCO, Scopus, OVID, and WOS. Studies were included in English and Spanish that reported the cut-off points of skeletal muscle mass evaluated by BIA for the diagnosis of sarcopenia in adults > 60 years of both sexes. Results: Only 14 studies met the inclusion criteria. The cut-off points for the decrease in muscle mass varied in each study from 2.31 kg/m2 to ≤ 10.75 kg/m2 in men and <5.66 kg/m2 to <7.4 kg/m2 in women, adjusted for height. Conclusion: New studies are required within Colombia to generate cut-off points in the population and to be able to establish an early diagnosis of sarcopenia to avoid loss of functionality.

Introduction: Physical inactivity is a factor that contributes to increased cardiometabolic risk, such as overweight and obesity in schoolchildren.
Aim: To associate physical activity habits with morphological variables (body mass index [BMI], waist circumference [WC], body fat, and fat-free mass), blood pressure, glycemia, handgrip strength (HGS), and countermovement jump (CMJ) in Chilean male schoolchildren. In addition, to compare physically active (PA) schoolchildren to physically inactive (PI) schoolchildren on morphological variables, blood pressure, glycemia, HGS, and CMJ.
Material and methods: A cross-sectional study analyzed 160 schoolchildren with a mean age of 7.12 ± 4.5 years distributed into PA schoolchildren (n=75) and PI schoolchildren (n=85). A logistic regression was performed to identify the association between physical activity habits with factors of morphological variables (BMI, WC, body fat, and fat-free mass), blood pressure, glycemia, HGS, and CMJ. In addition, to compare the differences in physical activity habits (physically active vs. physically inactive), a student's t-test was performed for independent samples.
Results: Logistic regression showed that physical activity is protective factor against excess body fat of 46% (OR= 0.46; 95%CI= 0.22 to 0.95; p= 0.03), hyperglycemia of 25% (OR= 0.25; 95%CI= 0.12 to 0.51; p< 0.0001), high blood pressure of 31% (OR= 0.31; 95%CI= 0.15 to 0.67; p= 0.002), and HGS dominant hand of 40% (OR= 0.40; 95%CI= 0.19 to 0.83; p= 0.014).
Conclusion: Physical activity protected against excess body fat, hyperglycemia, hypertension, and decreased HGS in Chilean male schoolchildren. PA schoolchildren exhibited lower body fat, reduced risk of hyperglycemia and hypertension, and improved HGS and CMJ compared to PI schoolchildren.

Introduction and Objectives: To date, there are no known supplement products made from a combination of eel and tempe. The development of concentrate from eels in combination with tempe (ETF) aims to create supplements containing the essential amino acid L-arginine, which has many proven health benefits. Methods: The community empowerment was held from June to July 2023 at Cangkringan, Sleman, Yogyakarta. The main agendas consisted of ETF training production and the cooking creation of ETF-based food. Aside from that, there were several secondary agendas such as food halal socialization, accessories design training, patchwork utilization training, computer and Microsoft Office training, English language education, public speaking class, Al-Qur’an and miscellaneous education for children, community service, mutual cinema, and competitions for the community. Results: The community development program in the production of high-amino acid concentrated ETF flour has succeeded in achieving the three main objectives of the program, namely functional product innovation, empowerment of micro, small, and medium enterprises and local communities, as well as increasing demand for local commodities, showing the importance of collaboration between the government, community, and private sector in supporting the development of local products that are economically and health-beneficial and can be used as examples to share similar initiatives in other areas.

Published: February 2025

Introducción: La composición corporal es clave para tener un adecuado estado de salud y aptitud física. Así también, la fuerza muscular es usada como un predictor importante del rendimiento deportivo.
Objetivo: Relacionar la adiposidad corporal y la fuerza de prensión manual con la preocupación por la alimentación en deportistas universitarios.
Metodología: Se efectuó un estudio de tipo descriptivo (comparativo-correlacional) en 130 deportistas universitarios de una universidad de Chile (90 hombres y 40 mujeres). El rango de edad osciló entre los 18 y 28 años. Se evaluó las medidas antropométricas: peso, estatura, 5 pliegues cutáneos (bicipital, tricipital, subescapular, suprailíaco y abdominal), la fuerza de prensión manual (FPM) y se aplicó la escala de preocupación por la alimentación. Se calculó el % de grasa corporal, el Índice de masa corporal (IMC).
Resultados: La escala de preocupación por la alimentación se relacionó negativamente con los indicadores de adiposidad corporal (r= -0,16 a -0,33; p<0,05), mientras tanto, las correlaciones de la FPM (derecha e izquierda) con la escala de preocupación por la alimentación fueron positivas (r= 0,20 a 0,24; p<0.05). Los hombres categorizados con alta y moderada preocupación por la alimentación presentaron mejores niveles de adiposidad y mayor FPM en la mano derecha (p<0,05), mientras que las mujeres, únicamente las categorizadas con alto nivel de preocupación presentaron bajos niveles de adiposidad y mejor FPM en ambos manos (p<0,05).
Conclusión: Los jóvenes que presentan mayor preocupación por la alimentación evidenciaron menor nivel de adiposidad corporal y un mejor desempeño en la FPM que sus contrapartes con menor preocupación. Estos resultados sugieren promover charlas en relación al consumo de alimentos, dado que puede ser una excelente alternativa para sensibilizar a los jóvenes en el cuidado de su adiposidad corporal y la fuerza isométrica.

Authors: Prakash Shanthini Priya , Silambu Selvi Kumbamoorthy
Published: February 2025

Background: Thyroid disorders are found to be the most common endocrine disorders among women in India. Perimenopause women during the transition through menopause experience specific symptoms such as mood swings, hot flashes, sleep disturbances, forgetfulness, weight gain and vaginal dryness. These symptoms disturb the perimenopausal women’s day-to-day life and lead to a decrease in the quality of life (QoL).
Aim: To assess the relationship between dietary pattern and QoL among euthyroid and hypothyroid perimenopausal women.
Methods: This community-based cross-sectional study comprised 96 perimenopausal women participants among them 54 had euthyroid and 42 had the hypothyroid condition. This study was conducted in a selected area of Chengalpattu district, Tamil Nadu, India between January 2022 and April 2022. A standardized Menopause Quality of Life questionnaire (MENQOL) tool was used to assess their QoL and the dietary pattern was analyzed using 24 hr recall method. Data were analyzed statistically.
 Results: The dietary pattern of the euthyroid group (18.5%) was good compared to the hypothyroid group (9.5%). The QoL of the euthyroid group (41.7%) was more normal than the hypothyroid group (14.7%). The correlation was found to be positive (R= 0.468) and the test was significant (P < 0.01).  
Conclusion: This study concluded that there is a positive relationship between the dietary pattern and QoL among perimenopausal women having thyroid dysfunction.

Semiotika Roland Barthes pada Poster Film Budi Pekerti (2023)
Authors: Sari Helga Pratama
Published: January 2025

Semiotics studies exist as a reading of the existence of signifier and signified which are currently called signs. Barthes in his method divides the significance of meaning into three stages, namely the denotation stage, the connotation stage, and the myth. These signs also can be found in film posters. The film poster that will be discussed in this research is Budi Pekerti (2023), directed and written by Wregas Bhanuteja. This research uses qualitative research methods. Qualitative methods aim to understand social phenomena seen from the participant’s perspective. The signifier and signified present in the Budi Pekerti film poster certainly produce connotation and denotation meanings that are in line with Barthes’s thinking.
The Potential of Mystification in The Jakarta Post Articles toward Human Right Violation Issue
Authors: Fitriyani Vita Muflihah
Published: January 2025

This paper tries to unfold the potential of mystification in the Jakarta Post Articles toward human right violation issues during 2014 and 2023. This study focuses on nominalization and passivization. The method of this study is the identification of mystifying and non-mystifying texts in passives based on Lingle's (2023) framework criteria. It aims to find whether the agent or patient (Hart 2021) is potentially mystified by passivization (Langacker 2008) or nominalizations (Fairclough 2003; Halliday & Matthiessen 1999). The results suggest that the agent is the most potential mystified in articles for 2014 and 2023. Agents are potentially mystified by nominalizations such as killing, kidnapping, death, disappearance, massacre, and atrocities. Meanwhile, the patient is potentially mystified by its impact, for example, insubordination, violators, and cases, also through the impersonality. The dismissing agency in nominalization means that the writer tries to reduce the information. Besides, reifying verbs to nouns indicates the existence of such entities.

To evaluate the concurrent use of vancomycin and ε-aminocaproic acid (EACA) in primary total hip arthroplasty (THA).

Methods

In total, 120 patients undergoing unilateral primary THA were divided into three groups: Group VE received intra-articular vancomycin and EACA; Group V received only intra-articular vancomycin; and Group E received only intra-articular EACA. Blood and joint fluids were sampled postoperatively to measure the vancomycin levels using chromatography. Blood loss and kidney function were monitored.

Results

Groups E and VE had equivalent blood loss, which was less than that in Group V. Intra-articular vancomycin levels were higher in Group VE at all intervals, with similar serum levels across the groups. Acute kidney injury, ototoxicity, and allergies were not observed, nor was a difference in rates of periprosthetic joint infection.

Conclusion

Adding intra-articular EACA to vancomycin did not affect intra-articular vancomycin levels, and maintained EACA’s antifibrinolytic effects.

Aims

Worldwide controversy exists on the optimal treatment of stable dysplastic hips. The most common treatment options are abduction brace treatment and active surveillance. The primary aim of this study was to assess the effect of active surveillance in stable hip dysplasia, by investigating the percentage of Graf IIb stable dysplastic hips that recover spontaneously without abduction brace treatment. The second aim was to identify prognostic factors for spontaneous recovery of stable dysplastic hips.

Methods

A single-centre, prospective cohort study was conducted at the Máxima Medical Center between 1 March 2019 and 1 March 2023. Infants aged three to 4.5 months at the first outpatient clinic visit, diagnosed with Graf IIb hip dysplasia, and treated with active surveillance were included. Spontaneous recovery was defined as infants who had a normalized hip on ultrasound (α-angle ≥ 60°) after six weeks of active surveillance without receiving abduction brace treatment. Baseline infant characteristics and ultrasound measurements were used as potential predictor variables for spontaneous recovery in logistic regression analyses.

Results

A total of 508 infants with Graf IIb stable dysplastic hips were included. Overall, 473 infants (93.1%) recovered spontaneously with active surveillance. Of the remaining 35 infants, 25 infants (4.9%) received six weeks and ten infants (2.0%) received 12 weeks of additional Pavlik harness treatment until hip normalization. In univariate and multivariate analyses, an impaired hip abduction was negatively associated (OR 0.43 (95% CI 0.20 to 0.93); p = 0.033) and being a firstborn child positively associated (OR 2.20 (95% CI 1.04 to 4.63); p = 0.042) with spontaneous recovery.

Conclusion

The majority of Graf IIb stable dysplastic hips recover spontaneously in infants aged three to 4.5 months after six weeks of active surveillance. We recommend active surveillance with ultrasound as primary treatment for these infants. However, care must be taken with active surveillance in infants with a limited hip abduction.

Mothers’ endorsement of the ideals and expected practices of parental determinism
Authors: Collins Hilllary , Wight Daniel , Hilton Shona
Published: February 2025

Parental determinism is a term coined by sociologist Frank Furedi to describe and critique an argument directly associating parents’ quotidian behaviour with their children’s outcomes and therefore, the future of society. This study involved qualitative interviews with 22 mothers living in Scotland to examine their views about the ideals of parental determinism and suggest possible factors explaining the varying endorsement. Of the mothers who more highly endorsed parental determinism, several reported poor experiences of being parented themselves. All the mothers of autistic children expressed some critique of the idea that parental action is solely responsible for children’s outcomes. The former variance may be due to perceived links between their own childhood experiences and later mental health issues, and the latter due to their children not responding to parental action as expected. These factors may highlight and minimise the perceived importance, to the mothers, of parenting behaviours.
Radicalism and child protection: working with the community
Authors: Dioum Mor , Yorath Stephanie , Shall Sophie
Published: January 2025

Using emerging themes from The Victoria Climbié Foundation UK’s advocacy casework service, this article highlights how child protection is failing predominantly Muslim children and mothers in cases linked to radicalism. The intention of the article is to highlight parallels between the actions of perpetrators of domestic abuse and those of social workers under the PREVENT duty as part of the UK government’s counter-terrorism policies. In considering some of the key indicators of domestic abuse, we highlight the way in which the state uses elements of manipulation, coercion and isolation in order to purportedly reduce the risk of radicalisation and protect the wider public. However, the counterpoint to this is the disproportionate and significant impact on children and mothers. Taking an intersectional perspective that considers the lived experience of those who are most significantly impacted by the PREVENT policy, we argue that understanding the interplay of race, religion, gender and age is important in cases where there is a risk of radicalism.

Published: January 2025

The hybrid-order monolithic imaging diffractive (HMID) lens was designed to address the issue of negative dispersion of diffractive optical elements (DOEs) in infrared minimalist optical systems. However, the imaging quality is negatively impacted by processing errors and aberrations of the HMID when it is expanded for large aperture use. The initial goal of minimalist imaging is contradicted by traditional optical techniques like adding additional lenses to eliminate aberrations, so we proposed a joint optical-algorithmic processing method in this paper to address the above issues. Specifically, the method is divided into two parts: (1) Upgraded HMID (UHMID) is designed at the optical end to improve the image quality through Strehl ratio (SR) enhancement, which is realized by fine-tuning the height of the microstructure; (2) A denoiser based on Bayesian theory as well as a deep neural network structure, using the optical system point spread function (PSF) data to solve the recover image. The experimental results show that the resolution of the optical system after image restoration is improved from 21.13 p/mm to 31.33 lp/mm, representing a 48.27% increase. The principle proposed in this paper provides a framework for the use of monolithic imaging systems in large aperture optical systems.

Surfactant Stabilized Nanoparticles for Environmental Sensing Applications
Authors: Vijayaanand Kaleeswari , Das Geetha
Published: January 2025

Surfactants play a major role in the formation of nanoparticles due to their strong dispersion-enhancing properties. Nano-emulsions are non-equilibrium systems, their characteristics properties rely on both their synthesis process and composition. Research on optimization strategies for the synthesis of nanomaterials is currently increasing. Surfactants are a flexible class of materials that emphasize surface energy levels, chemical properties, regularity, pH sensitivity, activity and the performance of nanoparticles. The broad spectrum of surface improvements and applications, such as sensors, catalytic activity, the conversion of energy and storage capacity, biological acceptance and therapeutics, dispersion behaviour of nanoparticles in fundamental composite materials, cement, traditional detergents, purification systems and particular applications in environmental sensing have become inevitable. The exploration of design concepts for surfactants that enhance the efficacy of specific nanostructures has been increasingly prominent in recent discussions.
Quality by Design and Green Chemistry Analytical Method: New Combined Methodology for Quantification of Cyanocobalamin and Benzyl Alcohol in Parenteral Formulations
Authors: Goswami Nishant , Raju Mudhulkar
Published: January 2025

Developing methods for the analysis of hazardous chemicals and complex parenteral formulations is a challenging process. To address these challenges, the integration of green chemistry principles and design of experiments proves highly effective. This study introduces a novel approach that combines green analytical chemistry and design of experiments (DoE) to develop a sensitive, reproducible and stability indicating method by high-pressure liquid chromatography method for quantification of cyanocobalamin and benzyl alcohol in liquid parenteral formulations. A high-pressure liquid chromatography methodology for quantification of cyanocobalamin and benzyl alcohol was established with an analytical quality by design principle. The method employs the central composite response, which optimizes the connection between factors and responses with reduced number of design points and experimental runs, yielding statistically significant results and enhancing analytical quality. Separation of cyanocobalamin and benzyl alcohol was achieved on Zorbax C-8 column (250 * 4.6 mm with 5 µm) using buffer as ammonium formate (pH 2.5) and acetonitrile with a gradient mobile phase at a pump flow of 1.0 mL/min. Detection was performed by ultra violet detector set to a wavelength of 254 nm. The proposed method is validated in line with ICH Q2 (R2) guidelines, evaluating parameters such as linearity, accuracy, precision, system suitability, sensitivity, robustness and solution stability, all within acceptable ranges. The eco-affability and greenness of new developed method were checked by using the Analytical Greenness metric, Green Analytical Procedure Index and National Environmental Method Index, confirming its suitability as an environmentally sustainable analytical approach.
