A Review on Formulation and In-Vitro Evaluation of Sustained Release Tablet of Isoniazide by Using Natural and Synthetic Polymer
Authors: N* Rutuja
Published: April 2024

The goal of this study was to combine many polymers to create an isoniazide tablet with a sustained release. In this piece of work, guar gum, xanthum gum, and eudragit L100 are the polymers employed. The FTIR and UV analyses suggested that there was no bond formation between the medication and the polymer. The DSC results rejected any association or complex arrangement between the drug and the polymer that released the drug. This involves determining the drug's melting point, evaluating its solubility, and analysing it with a UV spectrophotometer. The definitions were established using a variety of assessment characteristics, such as Angle of repose, Bulk Density, Hardness, Friability, and Drug content uniformity
Pre-Conception Counseling
Authors: A Haider
Published: April 2024

Pre-conception counseling is an active component of generative healthcare aimed at optimizing gestation effects by addressing potential risks and advancing motherly and fetal health. This comprehensive approach includes determining medical and hereditary factors, referring to practices or policies that do not negatively affect the environment, and lifestyle determinants to recognize and mitigate potential impediments to a healthy gestation. Key components of pre-conception giving advice involve discussing records of what happened, incessant conditions, cures, vaccinations, genetic screening, food, exercise, and behavior modifications. One significant facet of bias counseling includes labeling and managing pre-existing medical environments that can impact pregnancy. This contains incessant diseases in the way that diabetes, hypertension, and autoimmune disorders place optimization of affliction control before the idea can defeat adverse motherly and before-birth outcomes. Additionally, judging drug safety and examining potential risks and benefits with sufferers is done by ensuring appropriate administration before birth. Genetic counseling plays a crucial role in bias counseling, especially for couples with an ancestry of inherited disorders. Genetic testing can evaluate one who carries or transmits a status for differing hereditary conditions, admitting informed accountability concerning reproductive alternatives and fetal testing.
Investigating the transition from paediatric to adult services and the management of ongoing care of adults with osteogenesis imperfecta
Authors:   , Morgan Chloe
Published: April 2024

Osteogenesis imperfecta (OI) is a complex condition which requires specialist care. This care is readily available to children but is not available for adults. There are also limited transition services for people with OI, leaving them without support during transition. This novel research study was aimed at exploring the lived experience of transition, the resulting selfmanagement, and aimed to deliver a resource, providing information and support.This thesis comprises three phases: a qualitative phase, a quantitative phase, and a resource development phase. The qualitative phase primarily involved a focus group and two interviews, to explore issues raised in the literature, including the lack of knowledge and the lack of support for adults with OI. This phase revealed adults with OI struggle to access information and frequently experience dismissal or doubt from healthcare professionals (HCPs), due to a lack of knowledge among HCPs. As a result, adults with OI need to engage in self-management and advocacy, despite the lack of necessary information or skills. The quantitative phase involved an online semi-structured survey aimed at extending our understanding of the qualitative findings but for the wider OI population. The findings were consistent and suggested a connection between missed fractures and poor HCP knowledge.Finally, we iteratively developed a resource that reflected the needs of the OI community, garnering feedback at key points. Despite the small sample sizes, this research has implications for practice and policy, providing a resource which can fill the knowledge gap, support adults with OI and educateHCPs. Future research should explore the efficacy of the developed resource for OI in specific settings. Finally, as a result of findings, a new theoretical model of self-management was developed, future research should further test the model and consider its applicability in the context of other chronic conditions.
Cholesterol Dysregulation in Multiple Sclerosis: Implications for Pathogenesis and Opportunities for Monitoring and Treating Progressive Disease
Authors:   , Hawkins Kristen
Published: April 2024

Multiple sclerosis (MS) is characterised by demyelination, neuroinflammation and neurodegeneration that contributes to a progressively worsening condition over time. Ongoing, chronic demyelination is an important hallmark of MS pathobiology; however the underlying drivers of progression have not been fully elucidated. Microglia mediate demyelination and contribute to continued lesion expansion.Phagocytosis and processing of myelin by microglia and macrophages results in the release of myelin-lipids – including cholesterol, and dysregulation of cholesterol homeostasis may drive a damaging microglial/macrophage response. The oxidised metabolites of cholesterol – oxysterols – are important ligands implicated in myelination, neuroinflammation and neuron survival and may represent a druggable target. Little is known about the abundance and location of cholesterol and the oxysterols in the MS brain, or how their dysregulation may contribute to a worsening progressive MS.
The influence of diet on glycaemic control, sleep, and cognition
Authors:   , Gaylor Chantelle
Published: April 2024

The overarching aim of this thesis was to examine the impact of diet on glycaemic control, cognition, and sleep using three different approaches. In Chapter 2, a systematic review of the effect of glycaemic load on acute cognition in children, adolescents, and adults was conducted. A meta-analysis of 15 studies revealed that the effect of breakfast glycaemic load on cognition was influenced by the timing of testing, sample age, glucose tolerance, and cognitive subdomain. Relative to a high glycaemic load, a low glycaemic load breakfast was associated with significantly better immediate episodic memory during the late postprandial period (>120 minutes). The beneficial effect of a low glycaemic load breakfast on episodic memory was greater in younger adults and those with better glucose tolerance. No differences in working memory and attention were revealed. A review of 16 studies involving children and adolescents suggested that a low glycaemic load breakfast may prevent a decline in episodic memory and accuracy of attention during the late postprandial period. The remaining five studies administered meals or drinks differing in glycaemic load after breakfast time, two of which reported that a high glycaemic load lunch benefitted performance. However, conclusions cannot be made given the paucity of studies.In Chapter 3, the acute effects of consuming a HGL drink and LGL drink fifteen minutes before bedtime on sleep, sleep-dependent memory consolidation, and nocturnal glucose metabolism were examined in young, healthy males (n = 20). There was tentative evidence that measures of sleep architecture and continuity may be affected by the consumption of drinks differing in GL shortly before bedtime. However, most effects were either non-significant trends or no longer significant after controlling for multiple comparisons, which may reflect a lack of statistical power, the removal of several outliers, and the conservative nature of the Bonferroni correction.In Chapter 4, the chronic effects of consuming cinnamon and turmeric/curcumin for three months were examined in apparently healthy middle-aged and older adults (n = 28). Primary outcome measures included glycaemic control and cognition, and secondary outcome measures included lipid profiles, c-reactive protein, mood, satiety, thirst, body mass index, and body fat percentage. There were no significant differences in any of these measures between the placebo group and active group after one, two, and three months of supplementation. It is likely that sample heterogeneity played a key role in the absence of significant effects.A series of guiding principles were created by drawing from the strengths and limitations of the studies conducted as part of this thesis and past research. These guiding principles outline some of the factors that should be considered when designing studies. The goal of these guiding principles is to facilitate a better understanding of the complex relationship between blood glucose levels, cognition, and sleep in future.
Hard Carbon and Sodium Rhodizonate Electrodes for Sodium-ion Batteries
Authors:   , Jackson Lorn
Published: April 2024

Continued energy and climate concerns are increasing the need to develop new energy storage systems for the integration of intermittent renewable energy sources into the grid infrastructure. Sodium-ion batteries have gained significant interest recently as a viable potential solution. These offer an alternate solution to lithium-ion batteries that are at the forefront of consideration; sodium-ion batteries can potentially be cheaper, safer, and most importantly more sustainable than their lithium-ion counterparts.The work described in this thesis focuses on the development and synthesis of electrodes for use in sodium-ion batteries. Both an anode and cathode were researched, synthesised, and then electrochemically analysed.
New Generation Foam to Revolutionise the Building Industry
Authors:   , Price Lee
Published: April 2024

With the ongoing focus on improving energy efficiency and reducing carbon emissions tomitigate the effects of anthropogenic climate change, the demand for effective building insulation is likely to increase in the coming years. Polyisocyanurate foams are widely used insulation materials due to their excellent thermal insulation performance, but a number of fire incidents involving building cladding comprising these materials, notably the Grenfell Tower tragedy, have raised questions over the safety of such materials. In addition, the long-term effects of fire retardants on human health and the environment have also come under increasedscrutiny.In this thesis, a detailed analysis of the high-temperature degradation of polyisocyanuratefoams has been conducted, bringing together a range of thermal analysis techniques to produce a more comprehensive picture of the behaviour of these materials at extreme temperatures.Comparative thermal analysis of a range of polyisocyanurate formulations has been conducted and a number of non-halogenated fire retardants, being ammonium polyphosphate, expandable graphite and a proprietary phosphorus-based reactive flame retardant, have been evaluated for their efficacy in polyisocyanurate foam systems during the pyrolytic preignition phase of foam degradation. These agents have been found to induce a substantial decrease in the pyrolytic mass loss of polyisocyanurate foams and indicate the potential for the development of polyisocyanurate insulation systems with improved fire safety characteristics. The findings of this thesis strongly support further research in this subject area, as the availability of safe andeffective insulation materials offers clear social, environmental and economic benefits.

PERFORMANCE AND TRACKING EFFICIENCY OF COMMODITY ETFS IN THE UK
Authors: ROMPOTIS GERASIMOS
Published: April 2024

This paper examines the performance and tracking efficiency of nine iShares ETFs traded on the London Stock Exchange in the UK. The results indicate that, on average, the performance of the examined ETFs has been positive during their entire trading history. However, these ETFs have failed to fully replicate the performance of the underlying commodities and indexes. At the cumulative level, an average underperformance of 172 basis points is found. In addition, at the sample level, about 86% of daily tracking errors are negative (indicating underperformance), and only 14% of tracking errors are positive (reflecting outperformance). Based on our results, the tracking error is induced by the departure from the full replication of the underlying assets.

Enfoque geográfico-histórico y método cartográfico: agua y tierra en las “ciénegas de Lerma” XIX-XXI
Authors: Rodríguez Guerrero Alan Edgar
Published: April 2024

Originalmente, hace más de tres siglos, se extendía un sistema isleño cubierto por un solo cuerpo de agua que abarcaba más de 27,000 ha, desde el actual municipio de Temoaya hasta los límites de Tenango del Valle y Joquicingo al sur del valle de Toluca, las ciénegas eran un continuum paisajístico de humedales, múltiples lagunas, pantanos y zonas inundables que mantenían el ciclo de vida de diversa flora y fauna acuática. Actualmente, solo quedan tres remanentes que abarcan una superficie menor a 4,000 ha, al igual que el Valle de México, desde la conquista española inició un proceso de desecación que buscaba liberar tierras para la agricultura y la ganadería, rompiendo con la cultura lacustre que daba sentido y sustento a las comunidades originarias. En ese sentido, el objetivo de la propuesta metodológica es analizar la metamorfosis el paisaje lacustre y las resignificaciones del medio natural a la par del cambio sociocultural, mediante el método cartográfico y el enfoque geográfico-histórico en la cuenca alta del río “Lerma” durante los siglos XIX-XXI.
Job quality in the Saudi Arabian banking sector: Implications for employee performance and organizational outcomes
Authors: Alenezi Hamood M.
Published: April 2024

Within the Saudi Arabian banking sector, the quality of work life emerges as a crucial determinant shaping employee performance. This research delves into the nuanced impacts of diverse job quality facets on employee efficacy within this domain. Employing a stratified random sampling methodology, 500 institutions were selected, yielding a 49.6% response rate, or 248 completed surveys, with the active engagement of senior management. Utilizing a quantitative paradigm, the study harnessed descriptive statistics and structural equation modeling (SEM) to elucidate the interplay between job quality dimensions and performance outcomes. The analysis revealed that elements like compensation structures, work-life equilibrium, and growth opportunities substantially influenced employee productivity. In contrast, most job quality facets garnered positive evaluations, and aspects related to wage and compensation exhibited room for enhancement. The research accentuates the imperative of elevating job quality benchmarks within the banking sector to augment employee contentment and performance metrics. This study’s insights advocate for stakeholders and policymakers to champion job quality as a pivotal driver for optimizing organizational effectiveness.
Supervised multilabel classification techniques for categorising customer requirements during the conceptual phase in the new product development
Authors: Sutrilastyo  , Astanti Ririn Diar
Published: April 2024

The research aims to provide the decision-maker with a framework for determining customer requirements during product development. The proposed framework is based on sentiment analysis and supervised multilabel classification techniques. Therefore, the proposed technique can categorise customer reviews based on the “product design criteria” label and the “sentiment of the review” label. To achieve the research goal, the research presented in this article uses the existing product development framework presented in the literature. The modification is conducted especially in the conceptual stage of product development, in which the voice of the customer or a customer review is obtained from the scraping, and a multilabel classification technique is performed to categorise customer reviews. The proposed framework is tested by using the set data on women’s clothing reviews from an e-commerce site downloaded from www.kaggle.com based on data by Agarap (2018). The result shows that the proposed framework can categorise customer reviews. The research presented in this paper has contributed by proposing a technique based on sentiment analysis and multilabel classification that can be used to categorise customers during product development. The research presented in this paper answers one of the concerns in the categorisation of needs raised by Shabestari et al. (2019), namely, the unclear rules or main attributes of a requirement that make these needs fall into certain categories. Categorising customer requirements allows decision-makers to determine the direction of product development to meet customer needs.

Minimal speech cell of military translation study in the Arabic-Russian language combination
Authors: DEMIN P.E.
Published: April 2024

The article proposes an approach in the standardization of “minimal translation cell” concept in Russian translation theory and translation practice in the scope of consecutive translation. The results of the theoretical study were confirmed by practical translation experience gained in operational conditions of military-professional communication abroad. The core itinerary of description and standardizing of translation units in German-Russian and Romance-Russian languages configurations proposed earlier by Russian and foreign translation scientists are projected in this paper onto the Arabic-Russian language combination. The author applies an approach of explication the translation units nature by the method of describing the characteristic of their minimal partibility value. An attempt has been made to trace the regularities of the minimal translation cells selection in live speech situations of military communication, despite their inherent alternativeness. Experienced in military translating practice the models of communicative translation strategies such as a source texts segmentation into the smallest translation cells are represented. In this regard, the article makes it reasonable to implementing the concept of "minimal translation cell" into the theory and practice of translation. The initiative of training entry-level Arabic language military interpreters in the strategy of selecting final partibility reference units from the source texts, i.e. the shortest speech syntagms containing the key points of the messages. In this paper, the author considers it necessary to place additional emphasis on the most important characteristic of translation process in the military professional communication as the translation legitimacy, which obliges the military interpreter to carry out legitimate translation actions while understanding of the consequences of unintentional errors and possible distortions of military data in combat environment.
On the issue of the relationship of verbal and non-verbal components in the interpretation of audiovisual discourse
Authors: KOZULYAEV A.V.
Published: April 2024

The process of interpretation is to a large extent defined by the scientific perception of an audiovisual production as an act of intracultural and intercultural communication between the collective author and the target audience. Audiovisual productions are multilayered complexes of verbal and non-verbal elements that are interrelated by the collective author in the process of their creation. The structure of these relations must be perceived, understood and interpreted correctly by the target audience. Without this the process of cultural communication by the means of these audiovisual works between these two aggregated entities is impossible. The process of interpretation has many levels that are defined by cognitive and cultural attributes of viewers. Its stages are - perception of its components by visual and sound receptors; - understanding of the meaning of minimal units of both visual and aural verbal and non-verbal streams; - culturally determined interpreting of plot units in the process of double reconstruction of the coherent AV discourse whole based both on its explicit and implicit components; - secondary semantization of content. This article differentiates between the concept of a single viewer-recipient as a subject of perception process and the collective viewer as a participant of an act of the social communication based on the transmission of AV discourses. The collective viewer is a complex subject of the social interpretation of AV discourses who establishes norms and rules of this process and performs acts of their secondary semantization. Eventfulness is the key cognitive parameter of audiovisual productions, The collective author uses visual, ambience, verbal tools in the process of the cultural communication to create for the target audience various event sequences forming the backbone of a plot that can by understood by the audience.

Published: April 2024

The article analyzes the research of national and international normative legal documents for the purpose of determining the specifics of training IT specialists. The definition of the topic of values is singled out as one of the component requirements for professional training. The fundamental importance of the opportunity to provide educational means for personal and cultural development is emphasized. The implementation of such a task is related to the formation of axiological culture and deontological thinking.

The results of the analysis of international legal acts and the confirmation of the trend of ethnoization of social life, the relevance of the formation of a deontological type of thinking during the professional training of future specialists, in particular in the IT sphere, are presented. It is emphasized that the purpose of our research is the analysis of national and international legal act on the issue of including the formation of axiological culture and deontological type of thinking during the training of specialists in the IT industry. This kind of analysis is reliably confirmed by scientific materials and modern researchers. It is fair to analyze the materials of the leading institutions of the IT sphere – the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers, the Accreditation Committee of the European Network for Quality Assurance in Computer Education. The results obtained at this stage rightly confirm the basic thesis of our research: high-quality professional training of IT specialists is impossible without a formed axiological culture and deontological thinking.

It was noted that in scientific practice, Ukrainian researchers also pay considerable attention to the development of the axiological component o training a high-quality, competitive IT specialist. A group of British and American researchers, as well as IT practitioners, revealed that the subject of studying human characteristic is necessary t achieve success in the IT field and business. The need to introduce a competency-based approach in the training of a future IT specialist is indicated. Therefore, the analysis of legal acts and researches of practitioners of the IT industry indicated the perspective of the introduction and development of the axiological component and the deontological component in the preparation of a high-quality IT specialist.

The relationship of human rights and freedoms in the context of justice
Authors: Ismailov Nurmagomed Omarovich
Published: April 2024

The problem of interrelation and interdependence of various human and civil rights and freedoms in the light of the concept of social justice is investigated. The problem of a fair measure of human and civil rights and freedoms is considered, it is argued that a fair measure of rights and freedoms in any sphere of human activity should initially proceed from the idea of natural human rights to life, freedom and property, but this measure should be conditioned by the concrete historical realities of a given society. The author considers social justice as a measure of freedom. In the course of researching issues related to the problem of human rights and freedoms, the author proceeds from the theoretical position that all economic, political and spiritual rights and freedoms are interrelated and mutually conditioned. The author explores the problem of human rights and freedoms and social justice using the principle of development, an axiological approach and a criterion of practice. The author explores various aspects of freedom from the point of view of the concept of social justice, in the context of the relationship between freedom and responsibility, rights and duties. The problem of various human rights and freedoms is studied by the author in the context of their interrelation and interdependence. It is argued that the basis of political and spiritual freedom is, first of all, economic freedom, but at the same time the value of spiritual and political rights and freedoms in themselves is emphasized. The author interprets the problem of human rights and freedoms and social justice as tools in reflecting the realities of the modern world and tries to identify ideas in them that can be used in modern society to solve existing problems in it. The problem requires further investigation.
The Philosophical and cultural heritage of E.V. Ilyenkov in the context of the "Theoretical testament" of I.V. Stalin
Authors: Bylevskiy Pavel Gennadievich
Published: April 2024

The subject of the study is the creative, socio-cultural potential of labor, capable of going far beyond the limitations of a market economy, reducing labor to the production of material wealth (goods) and profit. The philosophical and cultural methodology is considered, which makes it possible to include socio-cultural, pedagogical, journalistic professional activities, as well as nepotism and large families in productive work. A prominent representative of this approach is the Russian philosopher E.V. Ilyenkov, who, exploring the methodology of K. Marx's Capital, deduced and successfully applied the principles of dialectical logic to solve the most complex socio-cultural and pedagogical problems, including the full-fledged development of deafblind children. The philosophical and cultural heritage of E.V. Ilyenkov was created not in a vacuum, but in the context of a corresponding trend in Russian philosophy (studies by D.I. Rosenberg, M.M. Rosenthal, A.A. Zinoviev, etc.), correlating with the formulation of the basic economic law of socialism in the work of I.V. Stalin "Economic Problems of Socialism in the USSR". The methodological basis of the research is the principles of dialectical logic developed by E.V. Ilyenkov: analysis of the development and results of the confrontation between market and non-market (post-capitalist) trends in socio-cultural processes and their philosophical understanding. The materials are the works of E.V. Ilyenkov, as well as the works of modern researchers, who sometimes evaluate his works from opposite positions. The scientific novelty of the article lies in the polemic with the interpretations of the theoretical legacy of E.V. Ilyenkov as "philosophical dissidence" in the USSR. On the contrary, the connections of the methodology developed and applied by E.V. Ilyenkov with the formulation of the basic law of socialism by I.V. Stalin and the then "social order" for the study of dialectical logic based on the analysis of K. Marx's "Capital" are established. The developments of E.V. Ilyenkov turned out to be unclaimed for a while; the identified reason is the market neocolonial transformation of the USSR. Socio-cultural development was increasingly hindered through the mass formation of harmonious, comprehensively developed, creative personalities and an increase in the wealth of friendly social relations. Recommendations are formulated on the possible use of the philosophical heritage of E.V. Ilyenkov in modern conditions for methodological support of strengthening the state socio-cultural policy, including in the field of improving support for nepotism and large families, solving the demographic problem.
Hybrid Nonlinear Passivity-Based Control Approach to Magnetic-Impulsive Spacecraft Attitude Regulation
Authors: Sharifi Esmaeil , Damaren Christopher J.
Published: April 2024

This paper proposes two novel passivity-based control design frameworks for hybrid nonlinear time-varying dynamical systems involving an interacting amalgam of continuous-time and discrete-time dynamics whose dynamical properties evolve periodically over time. In this regard, the hybrid Kalman–Yakubovich–Popov conditions are employed in tandem with the passivity theorem to construct a three-step control design algorithm to render closed-loop dynamics stable. The proposed control architectures are subsequently exploited to regulate the attitude motion of spacecraft with magnetic and impulsive modes of operation. Practical considerations involved in implementing the proposed hybrid algorithms are then discussed in detail. Simulation results show significant improvement in the performance of the attitude control system in terms of system response, robustness, and the required magnetic and impulsive control usage as compared to a hybrid linear approach.

Published: April 2024

Membranous nephropathy (MN) is one of the most common causes of nephrotic syndrome in adults. The discovery of phospholipase A2 receptor (PLA2R) as a target antigen has led to a paradigm shift in the understanding and management of MN. At present, serum PLA2R antibodies are used for diagnosis, prognostication, and guiding treatment. Now, with the discovery of more than 20 novel target antigens, antigen mapping is almost complete. The clinical association of certain antigens provides clues for clinicians, such as the association of nerve epidermal growth factor-like 1 with malignancies and indigenous medicines. Serum antibodies are detected for most target antigens, except exostosin 1 and 2 and transforming growth factor-beta receptor 3, but their clinical utility is yet to be defined. Genome-wide association studies and studies investigating environmental factors, such as air pollution, shed more light on the underpinnings of MN. The standard therapy of MN diversified from cyclical cyclophosphamide and steroids to include rituximab and calcineurin inhibitors over the past decades. Here, we provide a cutting-edge review of MN, focusing on genetics, immune system and environmental factors, novel target antigens and their clinical characteristics, and currently available and emerging novel therapies in MN.

Objectives:

In recent years, there has been increased utilization of monitored anesthesia care (MAC) in interventional radiology (IR) departments. The purpose of this study was to compare pre-procedure bed, procedure room, and post-procedure bed times for IR procedures performed with either nurse-administered moderate sedation (MOSED) or MAC.

Material and Methods:

An institutional review board-approved single institution retrospective review of IR procedures between January 2010 and September 2022 was performed. Procedures performed with general anesthesia or local anesthetic only, missing time stamps, or where <50 cases were performed for both MAC and MOSED were excluded from the study. Pre-procedure bed, procedure room, post-procedure bed, and total IR encounter times were compared between MAC and MOSED using the t-test. The effect size was estimated using Cohen’s d statistic.

Results:

97,480 cases spanning 69 procedure codes were examined. Mean time in pre-procedure bed was 27 min longer for MAC procedures (69 vs. 42 min, P < 0.001, d = 0.95). Mean procedure room time was 11 min shorter for MAC (60 vs. 71 min, P < 0.001, d = 0.48), and mean time in post-procedure bed was 10 min longer for MAC (102 vs. 92 min, P < 0.001, d = 0.22). Total IR encounter times were on average 27 min longer for MAC cases (231 vs. 204 min, P < 0.001, d = 0.41).

Conclusion:

MAC improves the utilization of IR procedure rooms, but at the cost of increased patient time in the pre- and post-procedure areas.

Background Globally about 10 of pregnant women suffer from mental illness primarily depression. The prevalence is higher in developing countries ranging from 15 ndash 65 whereas in developed countries it is 17. Depression is associated with lower quality of life during pregnancy. This study was done to estimate the antenatal depression and its association with quality of life.Methodology A community-based cross-sectional study was conducted among 352 pregnant women. The study was conducted in Udupi District Karnataka. Depression scores were assessed using inventory for depressive symptom IDS-SR questionnaire and Quality of life was measured using the World Health Organization Quality of Life-BREF scale which measures the domains such as physical health psychological health social relationship and environment.Results The study sample was 81.9 from rural and 18.1 from the urban area. The majority were housewives and living in a joint family. The mean age of the participants was 26plusmn3.5 SD years. Nearly 65 of the participants were in the age group of 25-29 years. The prevalence of depressive symptoms was 44.2. An unadjusted estimate showed women with depression had significantly lower quality of life domains except social. After adjusting for confounders we did not find a significant association between depressive symptoms with quality of life scores.Conclusion The study found a high prevalence of prenatal depression. The presence of symptoms of depression is an important public health concern. The focus should be on evaluating the mental health of pregnant women and supporting successful strategies to prevent and manage maternal depression
