«Rote Plakette» für Deutschlands Luftreinhaltung
Authors: Hehemann Lena , Uhlmann Britta
Published: July 2020

In mehreren europäischen Mitgliedstaaten werden die Sickstoffdioxid-Grenzwerte der Luftreinhalterichtlinie seit Jahren überschritten und somit Unionsrecht verletzt. Die EU-Kommission hat im Mai 2018 den letzten Schritt des Vertragsverletzungsverfahrens eingeleitet und Klage gegen die Bundesrepublik Deutschland erhoben. Der EuGH wird nun die deutschen Luftreinhaltmassnahmen auf den Prüfstand stellen – es bleibt abzuwarten, ob der EuGH Deutschland für seine Versäumnisse die «rote Karte» zeigen wird. In der Zwischenzeit widmet sich der vorliegende Beitrag der Frage, wie sich das Kompetenzgefüge zwischen EU, Bund und Kommunen beim Erlass von Massnahmen des lokalen Umweltschutzes in der Luftreinhaltung aufsplittert und im Rahmen von Klagemöglichkeiten von Privaten und Umweltverbänden wieder ineinandergreift. Der Artikel stellt die Entwicklungen des aktuellen Vertragsverletzungsverfahrens dar und unternimmt den Versuch, die zentralen Fragstellungen der noch nicht veröffentlichten Klage zu antizipieren.
Landesverweisung und Freizügigkeitsabkommen – Bundesgericht vertagt Entscheid über Normenkonflikt
Authors: Burri Nina
Published: July 2020

Der vorliegende Beitrag bespricht die ersten zwei Urteile des Bundesgerichts zum Verhältnis der neuen Landesverweisung und dem Freizügigkeitsabkommen (FZA). Die Richtungsweisung des Bundesgerichts wurde aufgrund der grossen Relevanz des Themas in der Praxis mit Spannung erwartet. Doch das Warten hat sich (noch) nicht gelohnt. In beiden Urteilen kann sich das Bundesgericht einer eingehenden Prüfung der Vorrangsfrage entziehen. Den ersten Fall (obligatorische Landesverweisung) weist das Bundesgericht erwartungsgemäss ans Zürcher Obergericht zurück, da Letzteres verkannt hatte, dass sich der Beschwerdeführer nicht auf das FZA berufen kann. Im zweiten Fall hält das Bundesgericht fest, dass die Vorinstanz Art. 66abis StGB (fakultative Landesverweisung) FZA-konform angewandt habe. Die Begründung des zweiten Falles erstaunt allerdings aufgrund einer widersprüchlichen Vorgehensweise und einiger sachlich schwer nachvollziehbarer Aussagen, die am Ende des vorliegenden Beitrags kommentiert werden.

Authors: Cupa Katja
Published: July 2020

Das Betäubungsmittelgesetz soll neu um einen Experimentartikel ergänzt werden, der die rechtliche Grundlage für die Durchführung von Forschungsprojekten mit Cannabis (Pilotversuche) schaffen soll. Der vorliegende Beitrag zeigt auf, dass die gesetzliche Grundlage dafür bereits heute besteht und dass es in Folge dessen für die Durchführung von Pilotversuchen der vorgeschlagenen Änderung nicht bedarf. Es werden überdies Grenzen der heutigen Rechtslage aufgezeigt sowie dargelegt, inwiefern die vorgeschlagene Gesetzesänderung zukünftig zu Auslegungsproblemen führen würde. Aus den genannten Gründen ist eine Nichtannahme der Gesetzesänderung wünschenswert.
Employee Advocacy as a Marketing Strategy to Power Brand Promotion: an Employee Perspective
Authors: Thomas Tejil
Published: July 2020

Employee Advocacy is an emerging and cost-effective concept of employee amplification to market products and services by enabling employees to build and share the company's brand contents through social media platforms. The paper summarizes the available research-based contents as well as articles and blogs of experts in the field of digital and social media marketing. The study primarily intended to assess employees’ awareness and perception of various aspects of employee advocacy. It has identified forms and types of contents shared and social media platforms now used by the employees in the automotive sector for leveraging brand promotion and communicating with the target market. The study has been designed as a descriptive research paper based on the empirical data collected from a sample of 102 employees from automobile showrooms in the southern districts of Kerala using a snowball sampling technique. A questionnaire was drafted with the help of google forms and administered among the respondents via email and WhatsApp. Two-dimensional plot of correspondence analysis, Descriptive statistics, Mann-Whitney U test, and Kruskal-Wallis H test was applied to present and describe the empirical data and to draw inference about the significance of the difference in the awareness and perception of employees about the aspects of employee advocacy on brand promotion in terms of demographic factors. Awareness level and understanding of the elements of employee advocacy is found very low and significantly different among employees according to the designation. This paper also indicates that the social media policies and guidelines of the companies were not rightly imparted to the employees. That’s why the involvement and creative use of the potentials of social media platforms by the employees were not up to a remarkable level. Employees perceived that employee advocacy as a cost-effective brand promotion strategy for the future, and it demands the employer’s motivation, recognition, and rewards for inspiring employees to be brand ambassadors. This research addressed a relatively new concept in which there has been no extensive empirical researches and calls on the attention of the market as well as academic researchers for contributing the unexplored areas of the novel and powerful idea for utilizing human resources in a platform where they are interested and involved.

Interconnection of Consumer Behaviour of Different Generations and Marketing Strategy of a Football Club – Experience in Slovakia
Authors: Zsigmond Tibor , Korcsmáros Enikő , Machová Renáta , Šeben Zoltán
Published: July 2020

The basis of modern company management is the marketing concept, the customer-oriented management and strategic planning, the managerial decisions matching the market opportunities, challenges, and the company objectives and opportunities. Marketing research is the input for corporate strategy, while on the other hand elaboration of the marketing strategy is based on the objectives of corporate strategy. The sports developments that started at the beginning of the 20th.century have been of high relevance, but still incomparable to the current measure of development. Generally, the countries of Western-Europe, due to their better economic performance, have achieved a higher level of development far earlier than the post-communist countries. The political and economic change of the 90s in the 20th century, later the EU enlargement opened a range of new economic opportunities also for our region. The sports marketing, similarly to marketing activity in other sectors and fields, has made relevant progress. The obsolete sports facilities were replaced by modern and well-equipped facilities. The customers were offered a wide variety of sports equipment and sports services. The objective of the research is to examine the services and products of a football club in the Slovak Premier League (Fortuna League) in terms of consumerism, as well as to summarize the consumer experience and opinion, emphasizing the marketing aspect. We formulated two hypotheses in this study. Chi-square test of independence was used for testing our hypotheses, with the help of which we examined several variables at the same time – and also the joint distribution of several variables. The results show a significant relationship between the age groups and the consumer habit of the customers at football matches. The outcome of the study also indicates that neither the age nor the distance from the sports event can influence the fans of the football club to attend the sporting event. Our results could be used by Slovak football clubs to make their marketing more precise and more efficient.

Customer Satisfaction and Behaviour at Retail Outlets: an Adaptive Fuzzy Regression Model with LINGO Based Analysis
Authors: Rizwanullah Mohd , Abunar Salah , Qazi Sayeeduzzafar
Published: July 2020

Increasing rivalry for-profit or non-profit is pushing companies to devote more and more attention to pleasing consumers with excellent quality customer services. This study aims to develop a model to analyze customer behavior in a retail store and provide accurate inference for decision making. Another critical objective for this research work is the adaptation of the faceted form of neuro-response, which is substituted by the Adaptive Fuzzy Logistic Regression Model (AFLRM). AFLRM has resulting benefits over Neuro-surface and Mean Demand Heuristic methods. A sample of 100 customers who visited or walked in the retails was used as a sample. Other than neuro-response surfaces (NRSM) and The Mean Demand Heuristic models (MDSM), the present study has accustomed a generalized form known as Adaptive Fuzzy Linear Regression Model (AFLRM) to deliver the benchmark for former models and give the highest level of accuracy for future behavior of a customer. LINGO based Markovian analysis has also been used with the above model to understand the behavior of the system under study. The significance of service and product attributes is implicitly derived via the fuzzy regression model for customer satisfaction measurement. It is observed that the critical gap between the quality of product and services and Customer Satisfaction is Product/Service Satisfaction, Motivation and Buying Experience, and Credibility and Security. The authors’ finding indicates that the effort of listening to the customer's voice should be more critical. Result analysis based on computational results concerning the questionnaire for measuring the customer behavior and the system validates the model under study. Appropriate, useful with reliable action plans for every critical product and service aspect can be developed by applying the adaptive regression methodology to control the quality of service or managing customer satisfaction, thereby providing executives with a competitive gain. Also explored the behavior of the system, i.e., whether the customer will move to the new retail outlets or they will remain in the same state by using the LINGO based software program model.

Published: July 2020

This article examines the “urang awak”, a term referring to the Minangnese who trace their origin to Minangkabau in West Sumatera , and their dakwah activism in diaspora. It problematises the relation of Islam activism and ethnic identity of a diasporic community in contemporary West-Java, Indonesia. It further argues that mosque has been central to the activities of dakwah activism of the urang awak in diaspora. As this article demonstrates, the Harakatul Jannah Mosque and Al-Anwar Mosque reserve as important bases for dakwah activism of urang awak in a dominant culture of Sundanese and Javanese. Through these mosques, the urang awak attempt to preserve their ethnic identity, mainly expressed through the mosques’ architecture, language, and religious activities that clearly symbolise the identity of urang awak.
IMPROVEMENT OF OPERATION MODES OF THE EVAPORATOR OF THE ABSORPTION REFRIGERATING UNIT
Authors: Titlov Oleksandr , Adambayev Daniyorbek , Vasyliv Oleg
Published: July 2020

Absorption refrigeration units (ARU), which are part of absorption refrigeration devices (ARD) with a natural working fluid (water, ammonia and hydrogen) have a number of unique qualities. These qualities include: noiselessness, high reliability and long life; the possibility of using several energy sources in one device. At the same time, ARDs have increased energy consumption compared to similar compression models, and this does not allow them to expand their presence in the market of household refrigeration equipment.

The ARU evaporator provides a predetermined temperature level in the chambers of the refrigeration appliance and the required cooling capacity. In this regard, it is relevant to search for the operating modes of the evaporator that provide the ARU maximum energy efficiency, which is the aim of this work.

The thermal conditions of the direct-flow three-pipe design of the evaporator are simulated. The calculated ratio for a once-through evaporator is obtained taking into account the assumption of the adiabaticity of the evaporation process, when all the heat of the phase transition is used to cool the incoming flows of the purified vapor-gas mixture (VGM) and liquid ammonia to a minimum temperature.

The analysis of the results of calculating the operating modes of the evaporator made it possible to determine the directions of ways to increase the energy efficiency of both the evaporator itself and the ARU in general:

a) preliminary cooling of the purified VGM flow at the inlet of the adiabatic section of the evaporator with an under-recovery of up to 5 °C and up to 10 °C;

b) preliminary cooling of the liquid ammonia flow at the inlet of the adiabatic section of the evaporator with an under-recovery of up to 5 °C for all ARU types;

c) increasing the purification degree of the VGM flow in the absorber allows increasing the temperature of the purified VGM flow at the inlet of the adiabatic section of the evaporator by 4...6 °C, i. e. to reduce the costs of useful cooling capacity for pre-cooling by 10...15 %

Authors: Charalampides Georgios , Vatalis Konstantinos , Baklavaridis Apostolos , Karayannis Vayos , Benetis Nikolas-Ploutarch
Published: July 2020

The current study presents an original chemical, elemental and mineralogical characterization of new quartz mineral deposits situated in Ios island, Cyclades, Aegean sea, Greece, via X-Ray Diffraction (XRD), Scanning Electron Microscopy with Energy Dispersive Spectroscopy (SEM-EDS) and Inductively Coupled Plasma Mass Spectrometry (ICP-MS) trace-element analysis.

Actually, the mineral Quartz (crystalline SiO2) is found in nature in varying quality and is explored and traded for use in different applications of significant importance depending on the quartz purity.

The results of the thorough chemical and mineralogical analysis indicate that quartz originating from the location examined in this research is almost free from other microcrystalline phases, and therefore it can be characterized as highly pure α-quartz.

Thus, it can be used in the industry of ultra-high purity quartz production for specific applications, as long as the deposits are exploitable. In this framework, a preliminary estimation of the economic benefits from a potential exploration versus the environmental aspects of mining, taking into account sustainability issues in the region, is provided highlighting the local social needs
APPLICATION OF A CONVOLUTIONAL NEURAL NETWORK AND A KOHONEN NETWORK FOR ACCELERATED DETECTION AND RECOGNITION OF OBJECTS IN IMAGES
Authors: Skuratov Victor , Kuzmin Konstantin , Nelin Igor , Sedankin Mikhail
Published: July 2020

One of the most effective ways to improve the accuracy and speed of algorithms for searching and recognizing objects in images is to pre-select areas of interest in which it is likely to detect objects of interest. To determine areas of interest in a pre-processed radar or satellite image of the underlying surface, the Kohonen network was used. The found areas of interest are sent to the convolutional neural network, which provides the final detection and recognition of objects. The combination of the above methods allows to speed up the process of searching and recognizing objects in images, which is becoming more expedient due to the constantly growing volume of data for analysis. The process of preliminary processing of input data is described, the process of searching and recognizing patterns of aircraft against the underlying surface is presented, and the analysis of the results is carried out. The use of the Kohonen neural network makes it possible to reduce the amount of data analyzed by the convolutional network by 18–125 times, which accordingly accelerates the process of detection and recognition of the object of interest. The size of the parts of the input image fed into the convolutional network, into which the zones of interest are divided, is tied to the image scale and is equal to the size of the largest detectable object, which can significantly reduce the training sample. Application of the presented methods and centering of the object on training images allows accelerating the convolutional network training by more than 5 times and increasing the recognition accuracy by at least 10%, as well as minimizing the required minimum number of layers and neurons of the network by at least halving, respectively increasing its speed
MODELS AND METHODS OF SUPPORT DECISION FOR MANAGEMENT OF IT COMPANIES
Authors: Tatarchenko Yehor , Lyfar Volodymyr
Published: July 2020

Studies have been carried out and methods have been proposed to increase the competitiveness of IT companies by improving the quality of their state analysis taking into account stochastic indicators. Growth conditions may provide mergers and acquisitions (M&A). One of the important components of mergers and acquisitions is a qualitative assessment of the value and condition of the company associated with the development of IT. Particularly tangible are the results of a qualitative financial analysis for IT companies whose activities are aimed at the distribution and support of energy resources in a competitive environment of generating and supplying energy companies in the regions. The analysis of the data obtained as a result of the P&L financial report is mainly based on current indicators and can be partially used to prolong economic indicators for a certain (most often limited) period. In this case, the stochastic characteristics of non-interconnected influencing processes are practically not determined and quantitatively not taken into account. Thus, the definition of qualitative indicators of the economic state is most often based on a balanced scorecard (Balanced Scorecard, BSC). The authors propose using methods for evaluating stochastic indicators of IT development processes based on a number of tasks:

1) development and coordination of methods and models that allow for the assessment of influencing indicators in the analysis of the financial condition of the analyzed companies, taking into account the likelihood of the implementation of scenarios of their development;

2) creation of an information model and methods for processing current stochastic data and assessing the probability of the implementation of negative and positive outcomes

Os açudes são obras hídricas que garantem o abastecimento humano e promoção de atividades econômicas. No Ceará estes são muito importantes, pois as características geomorfológicas e climáticas locais dificultam as disponibilidades hídricas superficiais e subterrâneas. As construções destes reservatórios impactam o meio socioambiental, desta maneira devem estar fundamentadas em significativos retornos sociais. Similarmente, após suas construções é necessário implementar políticas de gestão ambiental visando a preservação do ecossistema local. O açude Gameleira localiza-se na Bacia Hidrográfica do Litoral, no Ceará, represando as águas do rio Mundaú, sendo o segundo maior reservatório da região Norte do Estado, suprindo atualmente grande parcela do abastecimento público da cidade de Itapipoca. O presente trabalho traz uma análise de impactos ambientais no entorno do citado reservatório, utilizando para este fim as metodologias ad hoc e Matrizes de Interações (Leopold et al). Os resultados mostram impactos ambientais não significativos atualmente, porém com possibilidades de expansão ao longo do tempo. A matriz forneceu 108 impactos ambientais, sendo 28 classificados como positivos, 37 negativos e 43 neutros. Percebeu-se em 4 aspectos, relacionados à geração de renda local, surgimento de atividades de lazer no entorno do açude, bem como em sua Área de Preservação Permanente (APP) e melhoria das condições de vida das populações, a potencialidade e necessidade de tais práticas desenvolverem-se de formas sustentáveis. A análise ad hoc comprovou o início das ocupações antrópicas na região. Os resultados obtidos serão imprescindíveis para subsidiar políticas públicas visando a preservação e conservação ambiental do local.
A DIFICULDADE DOS ALUNOS NA VISUALIZAÇÃO DE MOLÉCULAS EM TRÊS DIMENSÕES NO ENSINO DE GEOMETRIA MOLECULAR
Authors: Martins Malena Gomes , Freitas Geraldo Fernando Gonçalves de , Vasconcelos Pedro Hermano Menezes de
Published: July 2020

Sempre se ouve dos alunos o quanto a Química é difícil por conter diversas fórmulas e constantes ou até mesmo fenômenos que distanciam-se da realidade do aluno, mas é durante as aulas de Geometria molecular que mais se escutam reclamações, principalmente no que diz respeito a visualizar moléculas em três dimensões, com isso o aluno desmotiva-se e passa apenas a decorar as geometrias propostas, não aprendendo de fato o conteúdo. Uma forma de minimizar essa abstração consiste em utilizar novas ferramentas de ensino como é o caso dos modelos moleculares que podem ser confeccionados pelos próprios alunos com materiais de baixo custo e fácil acesso. Proporcionando assim uma aprendizagem mais significativa do conteúdo de Geometria molecular por facilitar a visualização de moléculas 3D, diminuindo portanto a dificuldade dos alunos.

Atualmente, percebemos a grande relação do homem com os animais domésticos bem como, uma maior presença e influência destes em cada lar. Assim exposto, a procura dos donos pelo bem-estar animal tem aquecido continuamente o mercado peta onde os estabelecimentos comerciais que oferecem cuidados mais diversos os animais. Essas crescentes demandas geram uma parcela significativa de resíduos sólidos que, por conta do grande volume e de suas características peculiares, merecem especial atenção quanto ao gerenciamento tanto interno como externo ao estabelecimento comercial. Neste sentido, este estudo objetivou diagnosticar a percepção de responsabilidade compartilhada quanto ao gerenciamento dos resíduos sólidos de serviços de saúde em estabelecimentos veterinários no município de Sobral – CE, utilizando a aplicação de questionário como mecanismo de levantamento de informação, bem como a visita in loco em alguns pontos pré-determinados. No estudo foi concluído queuma fiscalização mais ativa por parte dos órgãos responsáveis poderia ser uma forma de incentivar os responsáveis desses estabelecimentos a cumprir as legislações vigentes, como por exemplo, o preconizado na Lei nº 12.310 (Política Nacional dos Resíduos Sólidos), assim como foi demonstrado a inércia na pro atividade da população do município, como também a falta de responsabilidade pelos estabelecimentos em questão quanto ao respectivo gerenciamento desses resíduos.

Published: July 2020

The article deals with the concept of transforming the system of governance in the Russian Plekhanov University of Economics according to 5-100 Project. The authors’ concept puts forward a new approach to the administrative structure, which is determined by strategy of university development. The authors consider reasonable to build the original organizational structure of governance on the basis of education and research centers (ERC), which will provide training of highly qualified specialists, research work and commercialization. They substantiate three principle lines in transforming the system of governance: to give divisions operative and economic independence; to organize interaction between ERC, departments and faculties (to transfer methodological work with education products - key education programs of training from faculties to ERC); to provide conditions for reorganizing faculties into profile mobile directions of education programs with contingents of students and learners. Graduate departments should have project groups of key education programs of training, including people from divisions, such as departments, faculties, academic schools and ERC laboratories engaged in this work. System and creative solutions in step-by-step selection and development of students’ talents will give the Russian Plekhanov University of Economics an opportunity to stand out among competitors and contribute to the university leading positions on labour market.

On March 11, 2020 the WHO officially announced the outbreak of corona-virus COVID-19 a pandemia. In this situation the majority of countries closed their borders and in-country movement on public transport was also changed to stop virus spreading. On the high authority level strategic decisions were taken every day in order the stop the infection. In Russia on March 25 President V. V. Putin issued a decree N 206 about the non-working week from March 30 to April 3, 2020 and on April 2, 2020 this decision about the non-working week was prolonged by the end of April. In view of these changes tourist, restaurant, leisure industries were temporary closed and business within the frames of these industries had to adapt to this situation. As for restaurants, it meant passing-over to product delivery through aggregators. This decree was not applied to certain industries, including organizations providing food and essential goods to the population. Thus food retail sale of both on-line and off-line formats continued selling goods to customers. The article shows the role of category managers in changing conditions of the pandemia, as non-stop supply of customers with goods depend on their decisions.

Digital Economy as a Method of Integration into World Space
Authors: Garnov A. P. , Bykova O. N.
Published: July 2020

International institutions of development actually try to impose to developing countries, including Russia, a model of development, which could promote the use of their internal resources to form digital infrastructure that can facilitate the process of soft- and hard-ware solution penetration to their markets. These are introduced by foreign companies and are useless for the development of in-country competences in the field of key technologies vital for future development of digital economy. The article studies specific features of national programs of digital economy development in different countries and provides recommendations of international institutions of development to developing countries. Key differences in actual goals set within the frames of trends of digital economy development were shown. According to the authors, cultural and psychological barriers play an important role in complicated conditions that require serious transformations because of digital alterations. The Internet of things can be called a new trend in integrating into global space. The use of the Internet of things concept could limit economic and social processes, which separate human participation from certain actions and operations. The authors show that the ‘The Industry 4.0’ concept is not restricted only by technologies, as it needs cultural changes because of digitalization.

Not a single country, which found itself in the emergency situation due to COVID-19 spread, cannot avoid the growth in the number of unemployed and those who lost jobs and Russia is not an exception. In conditions of crisis phenomena in economy rising, this problem keeps deteriorating. Taking into account the situation in the country the author puts forward a system approach to realizing measures of active support of population employment. The article touches upon different problems: economic, organizational, legal, social, psychological and ethical. The author proposes three groups of interconnected solutions: prevention of dismissal in the period of temporary economic difficulties; smoothing crisis consequences for discharged workers; supporting those who go on working in the organization. Leaning on the situational approach to the estimation of industry and region labour markets the author puts forward a wide range of alternative solutions aimed at employment regulation, which are based on principles of social partnership and integration of efforts of all concerned parties - state and society, representatives of employers and workers themselves. Special attention is paid to specific forms of employment to minimize adverse consequences of personnel dismissal. Prospects of flexible employment and distance work were grounded and their possibilities and restrictions were studied.
Computational Analysis of Domains Vulnerable to HPV-16 E6 Oncoprotein and Corresponding Hot Spot Residues
Authors: Malik Rabbiah Manzoor , Fazal Sahar , Kamal Mohammad Amjad
Published: July 2020

Background:

Human Papilloma Virus (HPV) is the primary cause of cancers in cervix,
head and neck regions. Oncoprotein E6 of HPV-16, after infecting human body, alters host protein-
protein interaction networks. E6 interacts with several proteins, causing the infection to
progress into cervical cancer. The molecular basis for these interactions is the presence of short linear
peptide motifs on E6 identical to those on human proteins.

Methods:

Motifs of LXXLL and E/DLLL/V-G after identification on E6, were analyzed for their
dynamic fluctuations by use of elastic network models. Correlation analysis of amino acid residues
of E6 was also performed in specific regions of motifs.

Results:

Arginine, Leucine, Glutamine, Threonine and Glutamic acid have been identified as hot
spot residues of E6 which can subsequently provide a platform for drug designing and understanding
of pathogenesis of cervical cancer. These amino acids play a significant role in stabilizing interactions
with host proteins, ultimately causing infections and cancers.

Conclusion:

Our study validates the role of linear binding motifs of E6 of HPV in interacting with
these proteins as an important event in the propagation of HPV in human cells and its transformation
into cervical cancer. The study further predicts the domains of protein kinase and armadillo as
part of the regions involved in the interaction of E6AP, Paxillin and TNF R1, with viral E6.
Delivery and Anti-Psoriatic Effect of Silibinin-Loaded Polymeric Micelles: An Experimental Study in the Psoriatic Skin Model
Authors: Chavoshy Fateme , Zadeh Behzad Sharif Makhmal , Tamaddon Ali Mohammad , Anbardar Mohammad Houssin
Published: July 2020

Objective:

Psoriasis is an inflamed skin disorder associated with the activation of phosphorylation
signals in keratinocytes, which leads to proliferation. Phosphorylation signal inhibitors, such as
silibinin can inhibit cell proliferation. Unlike current psoriasis treatment approaches that are associated
with dangerous side effects; natural components can introduce new trends in psoriasis treatment. The
major problem in the topical treatment of psoriasis is drug localization through the psoriasis lesions.

Methods:

In this study, silibinin-loaded polymeric micelles prepared and characterized for drug loading
and release and ex vivo permeation through psoriatic and normal mice skin. The optimized batch was
used for the treatment of psoriasis lesions in the mice model.

Results:

The optimized batch demonstrated mean particle size 18.3 ± 2.1 nm, entrapment efficiency
75.8 ± 5.8%, and prolonged silibinin release. % Silibinin permeated through psoriatic skin after 48
treated by polymeric micelle and aqueous control was 80.35, and 92.6, respectively. Polymeric micelles
increased silibinin localization in the psoriatic skin in comparison with control. In psoriatic skin after 7-
10 days treatment by silibinin- loaded polymeric micelle, there was no evidence of psoriasis and the
histological evaluation showed no sign of psoriasis. Silibinin-loaded polymeric micelles reduced Psoriasis
area index by more than 78% after 14 days.

Conclusion:

It seems that polymeric micelles increased the effectiveness of silibinin by drug localization
into the psoriatic plaque. Topical STAT- 3inhibitors can be introduced as a new strategy in psoriasis
treatment.
Quantitative Structure-activity Relationships; Studying the Toxicity of Metal Nanoparticles
Authors: Gao Yuting , Zhai Honglin , She Xilin , Si Hongzong
Published: July 2020

Background:

Metal nanomaterials are widely used in various fields, including targeted therapy
and diagnosis. They are extensively used in targeted drug delivery and local treatments. However,
the toxicity associated with these materials could lead to severe adverse health effects.

Methods:

In this study, we investigated the relationships between the toxicity and structures of metal
nanoparticles by using theoretical calculations and quantitative structure-activity relationships. Twenty
four physicochemical descriptors and toxicity data of 23 types of metal nanoparticles were selected as
samples, and a multiple linear regression model was established to obtain a toxicity prediction equation
with 5 descriptors with an R2
of 0.910. Structures of copper nanoparticles were designed based on the
model, and the structure with low toxicity was searched. The multiple nonlinear regression model was
used to further improve the prediction accuracy.

Results:

The R2 values were 0.995 in the training set and 0.988 in the test set, which indicated that the
prediction accuracy improved. Based on the result of multiple linear regression, we designed copper
nanoparticles with low toxicity.

Conclusion:

The study confirmed that the quantitative structure-activity relationship was a reasonable
method for predicting the toxicity and designing the structures with low toxicity of metal nanoparticles.
