Published: April 2021

An investigation on modification of natural zeolite with ZnO for the degradation of tartrazine. In this study, ZnO as a semiconductor is modified into a natural zeolite as support to form ZnO/zeolite that can increase the efficiency degradation of tartrazine. Further, the formed catalyst was added to tartrazine by determining the variation in ozonolysis time, the amount of addition of the catalyst, and the addition of a catalyst time. The results of degradation were determined by UV-Vis spectrophotometer at 424 nm. The result showed that the percentage of degradation obtained on each catalyst in the degradation. The resulted percent degradation of 20 ml of tartrazine at concentration of 15 mg/L using 20 mg ZnO/zeolite was 56.80%, while using 0.77 mg ZnO was 42.25%, and with the addition of 19.23 mg of Zeolite was 31.18%, all of that condition was proceeded by 40 minutes of ozonolysis. Thus, the result indicates that the ZnO/zeolite catalyst can increase percentages of tartrazine degradation by ozonolysis. It is known that the catalyst ZnO/zeolite is very effective in increasing the degradation of tartrazine. Analysis of tartrazine compounds using fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) after degradation changes in wavenumber indicates that there is a breaking of the bonds of tartrazine compounds. Characterization of ZnO/zeolite catalyst using FTIR, X-Ray diffraction (XRD) and scanning electron microscope (SEM), in each spectrum there was no shift, indicating that there is no change in ZnO/zeolite structure

Authors: David Nancy , Muzeyi Kimberley , Prasadam Sonia Elizabeth
Published: April 2021

Working memory is very crucial as it influences higher cognition. We conducted a study testing auditory simulations effect on working memory while considering personality type. 161 participants college students did the Eysenck personality questionnaire (EPQ-R) as a pretest, followed by reading a prose with an auditory simulation based assigned group (pop, classical, white noise and silence). Then they answered multiple-choice questions based on the prose in silence. We found that pop and classical groups did better, although the difference across groups was not significant. Hence auditory simulations have no negative or significant positive effects on working memory, furthermore, unlike previous studies, personality didn’t affect performance. Future studies can consider participants’ preferences and context-dependent memory to better explore this phenomenon.

Across the globe, India has second prevalent diabetic people. The effect of diabetes mellitus associated with various long term comorbid conditions. Chances of increases in blood pressure or hypertension affect 70% of diabetic patients. Dyslipidemia is often concomitant with diabetes and is correlated to an increased risk of CVD. The study aimed to evaluate the occurrence of comorbidities among type 2 diabetes patients and its pharmacotherapy. It was a cross-sectional observational study carried out on patients who were 18 years and above with a diagnosis of diabetes type 2 with comorbidity. The data was recorded, medication status of all patients was reviewed, organized, and expressed as counts and percentages. Out of 142 subjects 55.63 % (n = 79) were males, 44.36 % (n = 63) were females and mean age of the sample was 56.84 (± 11.24) years. Out of 142 patients, 88.02 % (125) were concomitant with severe complications like ischemic heart disease, hypertension, and hyperlipidemia remaining 13.6% (17) were associated with other complications. The most commonly prescribed drugs for hypertension were telmisartan (46 %), followed by telmisartan and amlodipine (22 %). In ischemic heart disease, the most common combination of aspirin and atorvastatin (76.92 %) was prescribed. In hyperlipidemia, atorvastatin (50 %) was prescribed most commonly. The present study results suggest the significance of various combinations of comorbidity could shed light on a probable common etiology, and then on probably protective measures.

Authors: Madhavi K  , Neelesh M
Published: April 2021

The current project is mainly focussed on the application of liquisolid (LS) technique in the enhancement of dissolution profile of flurbiprofen. Flurbiprofen is a NSAID indicated for acute and chronic osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis and spondylitis. It is selected as model drug as it is a BCS Class II drug and has very poor aqueous solubility of 10.45 ± 3.2μg/ml. Hence, this study was designed to improve the dissolution rate of flurbiprofen using LS technique. Initially, saturation solubility studies were performed to select liquid vehicle showing higher solubility of drug to obtain liquid medication. PEG 600 was selected as non-volatile solvent, used at three different drug concentrations of 33.33, 40 and 50 % w/w to form LS formulations. Further, they were converted to powder by means of  Avicel PH 102 and Aerosil 200 as carrier and coating materials to prepare LS formulations. Rheological tests were performed for the LS powder systems to study the flow properties. Later, several LS formulations were prepared, encapsulated in hard gelatin capsules. These capsules containing LS systems were subjected to evaluation tests and in vitro drug release studies. The results of dissolution profile of formulation CF3 showed maximum release of 98% within 30 minutes which was two folds higher than that of conventional capsule. FTIR studies revealed no drug-excipient interaction. DSC, SEM and PXRD studies revealed that drug in the system was completely soluble and available in molecularly dispersed state. Finally, it can be concluded that LS technique proved to enhance the dissolution profile of Flurbiprofen.

Mild cognitive impairment (MCI) is a progressive neurodegenerative disease on which diabetes mellitus and hypertension play an important role as major risk factors. This study aims to assess the quality of life of MCI patients with type 2 diabetes and hypertension.  A cross sectional study was carried out in a tertiary care teaching hospital. Cognitive status of patients were assessed by Addenbrooke’s Cognitive Examination III (ACE-III) and Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA). Mild Cognitive Impairment Questionnaire (MCQ) was used to score the quality of life. SPSS 21.0 was used to perform statistical analysis. Kruskal-Wallis test and Mann Whitney U test were used to analyze the relationship between quality of life and demographic parameters. Totally 1887 patients with type 2 DM and hypertension were screened to detect MCI patients. The prevalence of MCI in the population was found to 24.64%. Mean age of the population was 45.12 ± 10.54. Quality of life of patients was affected due to MCI with diabetes and hypertension in early ages. Patients employed in Govt or private sector (p=0.021) and disease duration less than 10 years (p=0.025) had significantly better quality of life. Two domains of MCQ, such as emotional concern and practical concern were assessed separately found that MCI patient’s practical concern scores did not differ significantly from emotional concern scores (p= 0.874). Quality of life was affected in MCI patients with diabetes and hypertension in early ages. Routine clinical examination should consider the quality of life as an important parameter during the patient visit and necessary modifications should be given to enhance the quality of life as well as patient satisfaction.

The key purpose of the study was to examine the desirable enhancing of oral reading and reading comprehension levels by testing the advantage of Visual, Auditory, Kinesthetic, and Tactile (VAKT) strategy on oral reading and reading comprehension among students with dyslexia registering at the governate source classroom. The study adopted a Quasi-experimental approach with the design of control and experimental groups and two measurement phases (pre and post-tests). The study assessed oral reading and reading comprehension levels by the diagnostic scale of Arabic language Basic skills. Thirty-nine subjects were drawn using the purposive sampling technique (control N=19 and experimental N=20), and the intervention VAKT technique was used for third-grade students with dyslexia for one semester consecutively followed by the post-assessment. The results revealed that the control group showed enhancement in comprehension reading and oral reading level, but less significant than the experimental group. Thus, VAKT is a sufficient approach to advance the comprehension reading and oral reading levels of students with dyslexia. The study findings contribute to motivating VAKT strategy using for students representing dyslexia for the sake of reading learning. Further, the study contributes to implementing VAKT in Arabic language learning settings. The researcher recommends considering learning style, motivation, and settings in future studies.

Authors: Sen Gabriel , Adeboye Albert , Alagbe Oluwole
Published: April 2021

The paper was a pilot study that examined learning approaches of architecture students; variability of approaches by university type and gender and; influence of architecture students’ learning approaches on their academic performance. The sample was 349 architecture students from two universities. Descriptive and statistical analyses were used. Results revealed predominant use of deep learning approaches by students. Furthermore, learning approaches neither significantly differed by university type nor gender. Regression analysis revealed that demographic factors accounted for 2.9% of variation in academic performance (F (2,346) = 6.2, p = 0.002, R2 = 0.029, f2 = 0.029) and when learning approaches were also entered the model accounted for 4.4% of variation in academic performance (F (14,334) =2.2, p =0.009, R2 = 0.044, f2=0.044). Deep learning approaches significantly and positively influenced variation in academic performance while surface learning approaches significantly and negatively influenced academic performance. This implies that architectural educators should use instructional methods that encourage deep approaches. Future research needs to use larger and more heterogeneous samples for confirmation of results.
