Authors: Sapna Avinash Kondalkar  , Alok Sharma  , Avinash Kondalkar
Published: April 2024

Aim/Objectives: Before using plant material in cosmetics, it is important to properly identify the plant, standardize it, and use the standardized form. The prevalence of misbranded and/or spurious herbal cosmetics necessitated the regulation on their import, manufacture, sell and distribution. Hence, the study focuses on the development of a precise and reliable method for quantifying curcumin in herbal face creams. Curcumin, a frequently used phyto-constituent in these creams obtained from Curcuma longa L. (CL)belongs to the family Zingiberaceae, is known for its anti-inflammatory and wound healing properties. The proposed colorimetric method is not only accurate and reproducible, but it also has the potential to greatly contribute to the quality control and standardization of herbal cosmetics. Materials and methods: Standard methods were followed for preparation of in-house formulation and evaluation. In-house formulation was compared with four marketed samples. Results and Conclusion: Marketed samples were found to be at lower side in respect of curcumin content but comparable with in-house formulation. Although the sample number was small, the method is cost effective and gave reproducible and rapid results, hence could serve as a commercial method for standardization. The study was found to be commendable and holds great promise for the herbal cosmetics industry.

Entrepreneurship is a creative business that is formed based on innovation to create something new, has added value, provides benefits, creates jobs and the results are useful for other people. Entrepreneurship is always confused with Medium Enterprises, although this is not always the case, because not always the business owned by an entrepreneur is classified as a Micro, Small and Medium Enterprise (MSME). Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) can be interpreted in various ways by various sources. The basis for formulating the meaning of MSMEs can be based on the amount of business results/income, the amount of capital, the number of workers and the form of business. Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) apparently have an important role in making a positive contribution to overcoming economic, social problems, in the form of high levels of poverty, large numbers of unemployed people, especially among people with low education, inequality in income distribution, uneven development processes between urban and rural areas and the problem of urbanization with all its negative impacts.

У статті проведено аналіз наявності та якісного стану аеродинамічних засобів повітряного нападу (ЗПН) збройних сил (ЗС) Російської Федерації (рф) до початку повномасштабного вторгнення та протягом 2022–2023 років. Зроблено висновок, що російська авіація є багаточисельною, в її складі переважно радянські літаки та вертольоти. Досліджено склад авіаційного угруповання, створеного для дій в Україні. Вивчено які засоби залучає противник, тактику дій, інтенсивність їх застосування та втрати. Зроблено висновок, що противник обережно використовує літаки та вертольоти. Пуски ракет і скидання керованих авіаційних бомб здійснює над своєю територією, а штурмову авіацію застосовує над територією, яку контролює. Встановлено, що тактика дій авіації змінюється, вони вчаться на власних помилках, випробовують варіанти комбінування різних засобів для нанесення ударів. Зроблено висновок, що клас крилатих ракет (КР) збройних сил рф є багаточисельним та поєднує різні засоби. Вони широко використовувались на початку війни, з часом інтенсивність і ефективність бойового застосування мають тенденцію до зниження. Противник значно наростив можливості використання ударних дронів, у рази зросла інтенсивність їх дій. Протягом війни спостерігається стійке зростання тренду на застосування дронів-камікадзе. Серед усіх аеродинамічних ЗПН безпілотні літальні апарати (БпЛА) мають перспективи пріоритетного розвитку. Встановлено, що агресор продовжує переведення економіки з мирного на воєнний час. Значно наростив випуск крилатих ракет і баражуючих боєприпасів, розширив асортимент розвідувальних і ударних дронів.

Непараметричне розділення широкосмугових сигналів за часом затримки та частотою Доплера на фоні комбінованих завад з апріорно невідомими розподілами ймовірностей
Authors: Слободянюк В. В.
Published: April 2024

У статті розглядається метод непараметричного розділення широкосмугових сигналів за часом затримки та частотою Доплера широкосмугових імпульсних сигналів, який використовує BDS-статистику в якості цільової функції. Модель сигналу враховує зміну тривалості сигналу, яка виникає за рахунок ефекту Доплера та варіації у фазовій структурі сигналу, що обумовлені зміною миттєвої фази через частотний зсув несучої частоти. Статистична задача розділення сигналів вирішувалась на фоні комбінованих завад в умовах апріорної невизначеності про щільність розподілу ймовірностей завад, а лише в припущенні, що завадова складова являє собою процес IID (Independent and Identically Distributed) – процес з незалежними та однаково розподіленими випадковими величинами (“білий” шум). В якості критерію розділення використовувався статистичний критерій розділення-вимірювання, який визначає ймовірність правильного прийняття рішення про наявність двох сигналів у спостереженні за оцінками їх параметрів. Для врахування складної завадової обстановки розглянуто випадок, коли комбінована завада являє собою адитивну суміш двох флуктуаційних завад з різними розподілами ймовірностей. При цьому перша складова завади описується розподілом з “важкими хвостами”, а саме з розподілом Коші. Цільова функція пов’язана з BDS‑статистикою нев’язок між значеннями спостереження й сигналом з очікуваними значеннями частоти Доплера й часу затримки. З використанням статистичного моделювання проведено порівняльний аналіз запропонованого методу з класичним методом, який використовує взаємокореляційну функцію між спостереженням та очікуваним сигналом. Показано, що використання BDS-статистики в якості цільової функцію дозволяє вирішувати задачу розділення у випадку дії комбінованої завади з різними розподілами, в той час як класичний підхід дає незадовільні результати майже у всіх розглянутих випадках. Перевага запропонованого методу полягає в нечутливості до розподілу завад, що підтверджено результатами на прикладі розділення сигналів за частотою Доплера.

Wastewaters co-produced with shale gas drive slight regional salinization of groundwater
Authors: Shaheen Samuel , Wen Tao , Zheng Zhong , Xue Lingzhou , Baka Jennifer , Brantley Susan
Published: April 2024

While unconventional oil and gas development (UOGD) is changing the world economy, processes that are used during UOGD such as high-volume hydraulic fracturing (“fracking”) have been linked with water contamination. Water quality risks include leaks of gas and salty fluids (brines) that are co-produced at wellpads. Identifying the cause of contamination is difficult, however, because UOG wells are often co-located with other contaminant sources. We investigated the world’s largest shale gas play with publicly accessible groundwater data (~29,000 analyses from the Marcellus Shale in Pennsylvania, U.S.A.) and discovered that concentrations of brine-associated species barium ([Ba]) and strontium ([Sr]) show small regional increases within 1km of UOGD. Higher concentrations in groundwaters are associated with greater proximity to and density of UOG wells. Concentration increases are even larger when considering the locations of i) spill-related violations and ii) some wastewater impoundments. These statistically significant relationships persist even after correcting for other natural and anthropogenic sources of salts. The most likely explanation is that UOGD slightly increases salt concentrations in regional groundwaters not because of fracking but because of the ubiquity of wastewater management issues. The high frequency of spills and leaks across shale gas basins suggests other plays could show similar effects.

Authors: Pirkey Anika , Morris Melissa , Klinke II David J. , Follmer Jake , Santiago Lizzie Y.
Published: April 2024

Background

As college readiness continues to decline, the proportion of students entering engineering programs with low mathematics proficiency is increasing. These students have lower retention rates than their calculus-ready peers.

Purpose

This work describes the design and implementation of an Introduction to Engineering Problem Solving course targeted to first-year engineering students who place into College Algebra with the goal of increasing student retention in engineering.

Design/Method

Eighty-one (81) students were enrolled in the course over two years. The course implements the Paul-Elder Critical Thinking Theory to promote engineering problem solving and critical thinking skills through problem and project-based learning. Institutional data including cumulative GPA, mathematics course grades, and enrollment status within the institution were collected for four semesters. The experimental group took the Critical Thinking Assessment Test (CAT) at the start and end of the intervention. All statistical analysis was completed in R using appropriate Bayesian statistical methods.

Results

Students participating in the intervention course saw improved critical thinking skills compared to their baseline along with higher pass rates in their College Algebra course and improved progression through the mathematics curriculum compared to the control group. Cumulative GPA and retention within engineering and the university were also improved. Results were statistically significant.

Conclusion

The importance of supporting non-calculus ready engineering students will continue to increase in the coming years. Intervention coursework has the potential to significantly increase student success in engineering. Future work should explore the possibility of multi-semester interventions to support students until they reach calculus.

Krai tuna (Auxis thazard) is the most dominant catch in Sibolga Archipelago Fishing Port and has economic value, so the community widely consumes it. The magnitude of the potential of fisheries in Sibolga makes it important to analyze the stock of krai for the development and processing of the capture fisheries sector. The research method used is the survey method, the data needed is secondary data in the form of catch data and fishing effort for seven years (2016-2022), the data analysis used is the surplus production method with the Schaefer and Fox model approach, From the results of the study, it was concluded that the sustainable potential of krai using the production surplus approach method is more suitable using the Schaefer approach model because it has a low JTB of 1508 tons with a utilization rate status of 98.94% and is already in a fully-exploited condition or has reached the saturation point (catch-intensive). Utilization is almost near saturation point, so it is necessary to reduce fishing effort so that the catch remains and stock availability is maintained
Menurunnya Minat Tulisan Aksara Jawa di Lingkup Mahasiswa Sejarah Peradaban Islam UIN Sunan Ampel Surabaya

Published: April 2024

The main symbol of Indonesian nationalism, especially the Javanese, is the Javanese script. As a result of using Latin as the main writing system, the Javanese script is slowly being adopted by society, especially the younger generation. Efforts to preserve the field of education through teaching at the university level are the mainstay, especially for students majoring in history who are even more involved in writing Javanese script. So we took research to focus on students of the history of Islamic civilization at UIN Sunan Ampel Surabaya to become the main research subject. In this case, indeed many have begun to lose interest in writing Javanese script, which they feel learning is too monotonous and like now it is just like studying tombstones and ancient manuscripts. To overcome this problem, several information designs are needed that can be used as guidelines for writing Javanese literacy education. In collecting research data using observation and interview methods, as well as assisted by several sources of literature, strengthened by using data from questionnaire results.

Overseas Labour Migration of Nepal: Trends and Patterns
Authors: Aryal Gokarna Raj
Published: April 2024

This research paper examines the trends, patterns, and diversifications of overseas labour migration from Nepal to different countries worldwide. This study analyzes the changing trends of human resource migration from Nepal around the world. In the same way, it elucidates the causes of migration from Nepal. The study uses quantitative methods to analyze the data. Different census reports show a continuous flow of Nepalese workers, and military personnel abroad over the past 250 years. Due to relatively higher income levels in the Gulf States and Malaysia, the proportion of migrants going to India has drastically declined lately. A rapid migration of Nepalese to Gulf countries and other developed countries took place after 1990. The recent census data exhibit that the trend of migrating overseas to new destinations is increasing and it also reveals that the migrating tendency of males is about four times higher than that of females. Nepal, one of the world's major remittance-receiving developing countries, has gained recognition in recent years for gaining foreign currency from its migrant workers. As a result, Nepal has undergone transformations in the fields of its culture, political ideology, and technology. Therefore, overseas migration has contributed to the socio-economic development of the nation.

Authors: Zora Hakan , Güngör Harun , Bayrak Gökhan
Published: April 2024

Purpose: Due to the difficulties in accessing the knee joint, correct prosthesis placement is of great importance during the implementation of total knee arthroplasty (TKA). This study aimed to compare short-term radiographic X-ray outcomes in patients who underwent fast-track TKA with medial parapatellar (MPP), mini-midvastus (mMV), or subvastus (SV) surgical approaches.

Materials and methods: Between 2018 and 2020, 93 patients operated with MPP, mMV, and SV surgical approaches and who had complete data of radiographic outcomes before and sixth-week postoperative were retrospectively analyzed and patients divided into three groups: MPP (n=31), mMV (n=31), and SV (n=31). The alignments of preoperative and sixth-week postoperative X-ray images of the surgical approaches were measured. The operative time of fast-track TKA implementation with MPP, mMV, and SV surgical approaches was recorded.

Results: The MPP group had higher preoperative lateral distal femoral angle than the mMV group and a higher preoperative lateral proximal femoral angle than SV group (p=0.018 and p=0.027, respectively). The mMV group had higher postoperative proximal medial tibial angle than SV group (p=0.011). In the postoperative sixth week, the MPP and mMV groups had a lower posterior tibial slope angle than SV group (p=0.001). The MPP approach had significantly shorter operative time than mMV and SV approaches (p=0.001).

Conclusion: The outcomes indicate that MPP, mMV, and SV surgical approaches are preferable and feasible in obtaining a satisfactory prosthesis alignment during fast-track TKA. The MPP approach may be preferable because of its shorter operative time and potential advantage in minimizing surgical complication risks.

Esta publicación tiene como objetivo proporcionar una visión general de la evoluciónclínica, el tratamiento y el resultado perinatal de embarazos gemelares discordantespara teratoma intrapericárdico. Siguiendo las guías PRISMA y Cochrane pararevisiones sistemáticas, se seleccionaron todas las publicaciones que publicaronsobre embarazos gemelares discordantes para teratoma intrapericárdicodiagnosticados prenatalmente. Se encontraron 7 publicaciones, todas ellascorrespondieron a reportes de casos y fueron incluidos en el análisis final, sumadoun caso reciente presentado en esta publicación. Hasta la fecha, se han informado 8casos de embarazos gemelares discordantes para teratoma intrapericárdico. Todos(8/8) presentaron derrame pericárdico severo, 5 (62,5%) desarrollaron hidrops y 2/8(25%) polihidramnios. Cinco (62,5%) casos fueron tratados con pericardiocentesis ya 2 (25%) se les realizó amniodrenaje concomitante, por presentar polihidramnios.Todos los casos nacieron por cesárea con una mediana de edad gestacional de 34semanas (RIC 32 a 35) y todos fueron operados dentro de los tres primeros díasde vida. En 7/8 casos (87,5%), los tumores se originaron en la aorta ascendente. Entodos los casos, ambos gemelos sobrevivieron. En conclusión, la pericardiocentesis(+/- amniodrenaje) del gemelo afectado es la única terapia fetal comunicada hastala fecha en embarazo gemelar discordantes para teratoma intrapericárdico y losresultados son alentadores, aunque la evidencia es escasa. El tratamiento prenatalde embarazos gemelares que presentan esta patología solo debería considerarse enel contexto de un equipo de atención multidisciplinario altamente capacitado.

Desde la década de 1960, la medicina fetal ha evolucionado rápidamente. Graciasa los avances de la tecnología y a la formación de expertos en esta rama de lamedicina, se ha podido realizar diagnósticos más precisos de las patologías fetales.La mayoría de estas patologías pueden ser tratadas posnatalmente. Sin embargo, enalgunos casos se requiere de intervención prenatal pues de lo contrario el embarazopuede culminar en muerte fetal o en graves secuelas del recién nacido. Patologíasintratorácicas con compresión mediastínica, estenosis aórtica, obstrucción urinariainferior, hernia diafragmática congénita, mielomeningocele, obstrucción urinariainferior, transfusión intravascular intrauterina, síndrome de transfusión feto-fetal ysecuencia TRAP, entre otras, son las patologías fetales susceptibles de terapia enútero. El presente artículo se refiere al uso de derivaciones intrauterinas en cirugíafetal.
