Authors: Qadir Mohammad Siddique , Zhao Jin , Putans Becca , Watson Thomas , Evangelista Michael , Gillespie Ian , Barnes Jeremy
Published: August 2023

In this study, a simple model fill formulation ofIbuprofen was encapsulated using either gelatine as the shell-forming materialor a plant-based material based on IFF’s SeaGel® technology (notedas SeaGel® softgels). The result indicates a similar performance at time zero betweenanimal-sourced material (gelatine) and plant-based material (SeaGel®).Importantly, at accelerated conditions, SeaGel® showed no change in performancein disintegration and dissolution over 6 months of stability compared to gelatinewhich showed significantly slower disintegration and dissolution behaviour thanfreshly produced gelatine softgels. This work indicates the superiorperformance of gelatine alternative SeaGel® softgels duringstability and long-term performance. 
Application of Design of Experiment for development of orally disintegrating tablets
Authors: Ermolina Irina , Hackl Ellen
Published: August 2023

The current work presents the formulation development methodology for Orally Disintegrating Tablets (ODTs) using Design of Experiment (DoE). The statistical software JMP was used to design the experiments and analyse the data for producing sodium Ibuprofen freeze-dried ODTs. In the first stage, several pure excipients (polymers, amino acids, and polyols) were freeze-dried and the quality attributes of the cakes were evaluated. Four critical quality attributes (CQAs) were determined based on the target profile: disintegration time, mechanical strength, moisture uptake, appearance. In the second stage, the placebo tablets comprising sodium alginate, alanine, and mannitol (working as a matrix shape-former and lyo-/cryo-protectors), were designed using Mixture DoE, freeze-dried and characterized to identify the optimal combination of the excipients. In the third stage, the ODTs containing sodium Ibuprofen were designed within a reduced design space to optimize the formulation. The wettability and dissolution of the ODTs were studied. The proposed methodology enabled the estimation of working design space and facilitated the production of freeze-dried ODTs with the required quality attributes. Sodium alginate was identified as the key excipient in the formulation, affecting all CQAs. The optimal combination of sodium alginate, alanine and mannitol corresponding to the desirable target profile was found (30%:40%:30%).
Enhancing Flow Properties and Preventing Sticking and Picking in Tablet Formulations: Exploring the Efficacy of StarTab® as a Multifunctional Additive
Authors: Kumar Sandeep
Published: August 2023

This study investigates the flow and compression behaviour of four excipients (StarTab®, MCC, Mannitol, Lactose) when combined with caffeine as a model drug for direct compression. Notably, pure caffeine particles demonstrate high adhesion to punch and die walls. However, the incorporation of StarTab®led to improved flow of the pre-blend, along with reductions in detachment stress (DS) and ejection stress (ES) during tabletting. Contrarily, blending caffeine with MCC, Mannitol, and Lactose did not result in considerable improvements in flow properties and also did not address sticking and picking issues. The potential of StarTab® in enhancing flow properties and addressing sticking issues in pharmaceutical applications is highlighted. These findings contribute to optimizing formulations for efficient tablet production.
Analisis Nusyuz dalam Perspektif Kompilasi Hukum Islam (KHI) dan Relevansinya dengan UU No. 23 Tahun 2004 (Penghapusan Kekerasan dalam Rumah Tangga (KDRT))
Authors: Mukharrom Miftakhul
Published: July 2023

Abstrak : Nusyuz merupakan sikap tidak patuhnya seorang istri terhadap suaminya dan tidak menunaikan kewajibannya sebagai seorang istri dalam keluarga. Dalam al-Qur’an telah dijelaskan dengan tegas bahwa ketika istri nusyuz hendaknya disikapi dengan memberikan nasihat, pisah ranjang dan terakhir memukul dengan tanpa melukai. Dalam melaksanakan tahapan-tahapan ini terkadang banyak orang yang kurang memahami, maka dari sinilah perlu dipahami apa sesungguhnya maksud nusyuz menurut Kompilasi Hukum Islam (KHI) yang berlaku di Indonesia. Penelitian ini merupakan penelitian kepustakaan (Library Research), maka jenis data yang dibutuhkan adalah data kualitatif yang sepenuhnya diperoleh dari berbagai sumber tertulis (klasik maupun kontemporer) yang membahas tentang judul yang diteliti. Adapun teknik analisis data yang digunakan adalah content analisys (analisis isi) atau deskriptif analisis. Deskriptif, karena penelitian ini bertitik tolak dari konsep-konsep berdasarkan nash-nash syara’, pendapat fuqaha dan peraturan-peraturan yang ada sebagai norma hukum positif (tasyri’iyyah). Sumber data yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini diklasifikasikan menjadi tiga jenis data, yaitu: Sumber data primer, yaitu sumber dasar dalam penelitian ini yang terdiri dari pasal KHI dan UU No. 23 Tahun 2004 dan kitab-kitab maupun buku-buku yang berkaitan langsung mengenai Nusyuz dan KDRT. Sumber data sekunder, yaitu sumber pendukung yang diperoleh dari berbagai sumber, seperti kitab-kitab fiqh,seperti al-Um, bidayah al-Mujtahid, fathul Mu’in, dll. Sedangkan sumber data tersier yaitu jurnal, koran, internet, kamus dan data-data yang berkaitan dengan topik pembahasan dalam penulisan ini. Adapun kesimpulan dari permasalahan yang dibahas dalam tesis ini adalah: pertama, untuk memahami konsep nusyuz dalam KHI kita harus kembali pada kitab fiqh sebagai penjabaran dari pasal KHI, kedua, dalam menyikapi istri yang nusyuz Islam tidaklah melegalkan umatnya untuk berbuat kekerasan dalam rumah tangga (fisik ataupun psikis), bahkan menelantarkannya, akan tetapi Islam mengaturnya dengan sangat bijak sebagai upaya penyelesaian nusyuz. Ketiga, relevansi antara nusyuz dalam KHI dan UU No. 23 Tahun 2004 sangatlah relevan ketika dapat difahami dan dilaksanakan dengan baik, jika tidak, maka akan timbul kesewenangan istri karena merasa sangat terlindungi oleh negara, walaupun salah menurut agama.

Uncertainty and Chaos in Indian Farming: Production,Livelihood and Income
Authors: Sharangi A.B. , Acharaya S.K.
Published: July 2023

Indian agriculture at large has been on trajectory of grand uncertainty. The brunt of climate change, sharp undulation in productivity, unpredictability in market price, the consistent up rise in cost of cultivation and downfall of net return are amounting to what we may call the grand uncertainty. Uncertainty is an inevitable character of any system where most of the contributory factors are either unpredictable or unfathomable. The higher is the complexity, the lesser would be the resilience, and higher would be the uncertainty. Agricultural production system, as it is managed in Indian condition, is the most vulnerable to a plethora of uncertainties. Mostly managed in an open air rain fed conditions, complex-diverse-risk prone, it has been exposed to weather and resource uncertainties, market volatility, poor access to technology and a fragile input delivery mechanism. Indian Agriculture is now at a crossroad and gets confronted by uncertainty and unpredictability. The growth rate of food production runs just marginally above population growth. The book has uniquely dealt with a basket of perceived uncertainties that makes farmers and economy reel under stress and risk. The worldâ€™s largest agrarian economy is being managed mostly by private land owners, who are mostly under the clutch of middlemen and vagaries of weather. The book, based on an empirical study, has indentified the marker variables of farmers in responding to and complying with the unpredictability and freaks of social dynamics.

Microbial Biopesticides in India
Authors: Baskaran R. K. Murali , Sridhar J , Mallikarjuna J. , Banerjee Kaushik , Ghosh P. K.
Published: July 2023

According to estimates, plant pests and diseases cause at least 10% of the world's food production to be lost. Additional pest and disease losses occur after harvest, where it is estimated that up to 13% of the total calories generated are lost after leaving the farm gate, in addition to in-field losses. According to Indian viewpoints, biotic stressors cause a 20â€“26% annual loss of food commodities. The effects of the "Green Revolution" (GV) multiplied crop production and productivity, which ultimately affected the livelihoods of Indian civilians. However, the introduction of numerous inorganic plant protection inputs resulted in irreversible harm to the environment, human lives, and material wealth. The focus on environmentally friendly plant protection measures, particularly microbial biopesticides, has expanded as a result of current conditions and Indian government regulations on chemical pesticides that take into account their negative effects. In the recent past, India's biopesticide industries, demand, consumption, market, etc., have grown tremendously. It is expected that between 2040 and 2050, the biopesticide industry would either match or surpass those of chemical pesticides. Global population growth is projected to reach 9 billion people by 2050, and the duty to increase food production by 70% of current levels in order to feed this population has led to a ruthless shift toward the use of artificial agricultural inputs. Nevertheless, there are ways to enhance food production to the anticipated level by using Integrated Pest Management, which enables the prudent application of inorganic inputs in conjunction with environmentally benign tactics like microbial biopesticides

Published: July 2023

In this paper, we propose a new lifetime distribution with flexibility in modeling than its parent distribution. The new distribution is a variant of the Rama distribution having a positive shift parameter. We call the proposed distribution Shifted Rama (SR) distribution. Mathematical and statistical characteristics such as crude moments, central moment, coefficient of variation, index of dispersion, conditional moment, mean residual life function, mean deviation, Bonferroni and Lorenz curve, and the order statistics are derived. Furthermore, reliability measures like survival function, hazard function have been derived. Estimation techniques namely; the maximum likelihood, least squares, weighted least squares, maximum product spacing, Cramer-von- Mises, Anderson-Darling and the right-tailed Anderson-Darling estimations are used. To demonstrate the applicability of the distribution, a numerical example was the blood cancer data from Ministry Hospital in Saudi Arabia. Based on the results, the proposed distribution performed better than the competing distributions. Simulation of the Estimates of the parameters based on the classical methods considered are obtained, and result showed that the maximum likelihood estimator gave the best classical estimates of the parameters compared to other methods considered.
Assistance for Internally Displaced Persons in the Periphery of Ouagadougou in a Security Crisis Situation
Authors: Deme El Hadji Yoro , Kabre Moustapha
Published: July 2023

The situation of internally displaced persons (IDPs) raises many questions due to a lack of information on the part of the government. The actors in the field do not always agree on certain points, especially with regard to the living conditions of IDPs and even the working conditions of the humanitarian organizations that provide them with assistance. The aim of this research was to know if the actions of socio-economic care of IDPs on the outskirts of Ouagadougou are effective. We used a non-probability sampling method. The observation units were selected according to their availability (reasoned choice). Thus, the survey involved a sample of 34 households, made up of 202 IDPs including 51 adults and 151 children. We also conducted interviews with three (03) representatives of the Social Action of the municipality of Ouagadougou, one (01) authority of the Town Hall of the District 09 of the municipality of Ouagadougou, three (03) members associations and organizations providing assistance to IDPs, and one (01) responsible for coordinating aid to displaced persons in the city of Ouagadougou. In view of the results, humanitarian aid is considered insufficient, it is therefore necessary to: (i) intensify and accelerate the empowerment of IDPs through income-generating activities. As a prelude, the State must assume its responsibilities and fulfill its most absolute duty, namely to take care of internally displaced persons wherever they are, without discrimination of zone.
Roles Played by the Governments on Agricultural Logistics Operations during the COVID-19 Pandemic and Lockdown. A Systematic Literature Review
Authors: Nkunda Richard Manase
Published: July 2023

This paper documents the roles played by governments in agricultural logistics operations during the global COVID-19 pandemic and lockdown. Specifically, the paper reports on the roles played by the Chinese Government as a case study for developed countries and the roles played by the East African countries’ governments. Systematic literature review was carried for existing literature published between December 2019 and June 2021. Hence, the study conducted systematically by reviewing related literature on roles played by governments in agricultural logistics operations during the global COVID-19 pandemic and lockdown. The paper found that every government has tried to put efforts to ensure the movement of agricultural products within and across the supply chain partners including exemption of food delivery trucks from road restrictions, fining some price-gouging businesses who seemed to make food less affordable; establishing measures to ensure availability of supplies of agricultural inputs for production, provision of technical services and financial support, introduction of robot delivery and exemptions from Value Added Tax (VAT) to agricultural products and related inputs. This study is review in nature and it based on China and East Africa countries only from December, 2019 to June 2021. So, empirical study is needed on this study. Also, adding study period could improve the quality of results. The study make immense contribution to the existing literature on the role of government in enhancing agricultural logistics amidst global supply chain disruption.

Published: August 2023

Purpose

To determine if corticosteroid use is associated with repeat fragility fractures and the trends in corticosteroid usage in this population.

Methods

2,643 patients with repeat fractures were identified in the Research Action for Health Network (REACHnet). Each patient had a non-traumatic fracture diagnosis code with at least one year of medical history prior to the fracture and at least two years of follow-up time. Multivariable logistic regression was used to identify corticosteroid trends over time, predictors of a repeat fracture, and the effect of timing and type of corticosteroid on repeat fracture.

Results

Corticosteroid use was associated with a significantly increased risk of a second fragility fracture (Adjusted Odds Ratio, aOR = 1.39, 95% CI = 1.13-1.71). Parenteral corticosteroids were associated with significantly increased odds of re-fracture (aOR = 1.37. 95% CI = 1.08-1.74). Corticosteroid usage after initial fracture showed significantly increased odds of repeat fracture (aOR = 1.52, 95% CI = 1.20-1.91). Parenteral corticosteroid use after fracture was associated with an increased risk of re-fracture (aOR = 1.52, 95% CI 1.18-1.96).  Increased total dosage of steroids was not associated with an increase in the rate of repeat fractures.

Conclusions

Parenteral corticosteroid administration, especially if used after the initial fracture, was most likely to be associated with a repeat fracture. If steroids are indicated, the dosage may not alter repeat fracture risk. The method of administration or the timing may play a larger role, especially parenteral steroids after fracture. Physicians should weigh benefits and risk with parenteral corticosteroid use in fragility fracture patients.

ABSTRAK

Tindak pidana penghinaan terhadap Presiden dan/atau Wakil Presiden merupakan bagian dari pidana penghinaan terhadap penguasa, yang diatur dalam pasal 134, 136 bis, dan pasal 137 KUHP. Namun, Putusan MK No.013-022/PUU IV/2006 dan Putusan MK No. 6/PUU-V/2007 telah membatalkan delik penghinaan yang ada. Selain KUHP dan Putusan MK, adanya pasal 217 hingga 220 serta pasal 240 dan pasal 241 RKUHP memberi makna bahwa tindak pidana penghinaan Presiden masih akan diatur di masa depan. Kasus yang menimpa Ruslan Buton merupakan contoh praktis terjadinya penghinaan terhadap Presiden di media sosial. Tujuan penelitian ini adalah untuk mengetahui perbandingan pengaturan tindak pidana penghinaan Presiden saat ini, di masa depan, dan contoh praktis di masyarakat. Metode penelitian yang digunakan adalah yuridis normatif. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa Pasal 240 dan Pasal 241 RKUHP berpotensi untuk menghambat hak atas kebebasan berpendapat, berpotensi menghalangi upaya komunikasi dan hak untuk memperoleh informasi, serta menimbulkan ketidakpastian hukum dengan adanya persamaan mengenai unsur tindak pidana antara Pasal 134, Pasal 136 bis, Pasal 137, Pasal 154 dan Pasal 155 KUHP yang telah dinyatakan batal demi hukum oleh MK.
