TERMS OF ENVIRONMENTAL SAFETY IN KUZBASS: NOXOLOGICAL APPROACH
Authors: Невзоров Борис , Nevzorov Boris , Невзоров Т. , Nevzorov T.
Published: November 2018

The article features some aspects of ecological environment in an industrial region, which characterize potential (artificial, man-induced) ecological threats that compose the noxosphere, i. e. constantly or periodically hazardous environment. In spite of the fact that noxology (science of hazards) is actively developing and there are numerous scientific approaches to ecological safety issues, the noxological approach is not adequately reflected in science media. In our attempt to fill this gap we use the following interpretation: noxological approach is a set of scientific and practical methods based on the semantic concept of noxosphere aimed at the transformation of hazardous objects and protective measures needed to ensure the environmental safety of the natural environment and human society. The paper presents some research results concerning environmental hazards, describing the impact on natural environment and man in a complex industrial region, and discusses them from the standpoint of noxological approach. As legal basis for noxological approach the authors use scientific ecological and legal interpretations, in particular, Articles 2 and especially 9 of the Constitution [1; 2, p. 5] on man and land (natural environment). Since "... nature is a value in itself, due to the fact that it is the source of life, but not only that of man", and degradation and extinction (an imbalance in biodiversity, i. e. expansion of noxosphere) of other organisms, more susceptible to changes in the natural environment, it means – for humans – that they will suffer the same fate. This process serves as an indicator of risk. This implies that "there will be no man without a favorable state of nature. And "in the context of meeting the global challenges of biodiversity, only an ecocentric concept of nature protection can be legally recognized and formalized" [2, p. 7]. In our understanding, the use noxological approach to environmental safety assessment could serve the development of ideas of socio-natural interactions and their optimization not only in line with technological solutions, but also in the process of changing the way of thinking and the formation of noxological culture through the synthesis of important traditions and perception of nature and all things natural as a full subject in conjunction with man. As an illustration of the relevance of the noxological approach concept, we consider some research data and results of practical studies performed by Kuzbass scientists aimed at preserving a balanced biodiversity in a coal mining environment. The information system they developed allows one to keep track of growing hazards and assess the risks of their development, in order to make the best decisions for the preservation of the natural environment in the context of heavy anthropogenic impact, which determines the conditions of environmental safety. We believe this approach corresponds to the principle of "balanced development".

Published: November 2018

By using the method of geometric morphometry, the article analyses the main directions of shape variability of dentale and lower molars in Palearctic shrews: Sorex araneus, S. caecutiens, S. daphaenodon, S. isodon, S. roboratus, S. tundrensis, S. alpinus, S. asper, S. buchariensis, S. mirabilis, S. raddei, S. volnichini, S. unguiculatus, S. minutes, S. minutissimus, S. gracillimus, S. satunini, Neomys fodiens, Crocidura suaveolens, C. lasiura, C. leucodon, C. sibirica. It is established that intergenus and interspecies differences are poorly expressed in the shape of a dentale. There are three major ways of modifying the shapes of dentale in shrews: (i) massive high proc. coronoidens and low short proc. condiloideus (S. araneus from Altai mountains, S. daphaenodon, S. asper, S. raddei) (ii) low proc. coronoidens and long massive proc. condiloideus (S. roboratus, S. mirabilis, S. alpinus, S. unguiculatus of Sakhalin island, «minutes», N. fodiens (iii) high massive proc. coronoidens and push back proc. condiloideus (Crocidura except leucodon). It is shown that all the variants help to achieve equal morphological and functional effect. Intraspecies variation of the shape of the mandible is reduced to its transformation in according to one of the scenarios mentioned above.

Published: November 2018

The aim of this work was to study the effect of weather conditions on mental performance and functional state of the brain by the example of students of theAltaiStateUniversity. The impact of environmental factors was conducted during the summer practice on different days (Mondays), in differing weather conditions. Mental capacity was assessed according toAnfimovproofreading sample. We determined the volume, speed and accuracy of mental capacity. The functional state of the subjects was assessed by brain EEG method. Meteorological factors have both positive and negative effects on the functional state of the nervous system of students and mental performance indicators. Besides, quality indicators appeared to be more sensitive to the effects of adverse environmental factors. Apparently, this is due to differences in the mechanisms which provide quantitative and qualitative components of mental capacity. The experimental data can be used to address issues of differentiation and optimization of learning and prediction of meteoresistanceand meteosensitivity of students.

Published: November 2018

The article presents an analysis of the epidemic situation in the priority parasitosis of the population in the Sakha Republic. The research shows the influence of sanitaryparasitological contamination of surface water sources with propagative forms of pathogens of diphyllobothriosis, enterobiosis and ascaridosis on the helminthiases morbidity among the population. Water contamination of the Sakha water pools by municipal sewage waste, discharges of river vessels during the navigation period, invasiveness of fish by plero-cercoids of diphylobothriids, contamination of the population with diphyllobothriosis followed by contamination with eggs of diphyllobothriids of domestic sewage, – all the mentioned facts reveal circulation of the pathogen and confirm the presence of diphyllobothriosis in middle flow of the Lena river in the borders of the city of Yakutsk. The influence is exerted by the dissemination of communal sewage and, consequently, of surface water sources by the propagative forms of biohelminths on the epidemic disadvantage of the Yakutia population with diphyllobothriosis. Diphyllobothriosis is the dominant biogelmintosis in the region. The high level of enterobiosis (contact helminthiasis) infectiousness among the population and an insignificant incidence of ascaridosis (typical geogelmintosis), in our opinion, is due to sanitary and hygienic living conditions of the population and climatic and geographic features of the region.

Published: November 2018

The article presents and summarizes the results of a field research on glacial relief of the Gornaya Shoria mountain region, within the Patyn mountain massif. The Patyn-2017 expedition was organized by the Russian Geographic Society. This region has been very poorly studied in the paleogeographical aspect. The available material can give only an approximate assessment of last glaciation in the Gornaya Shoria mountain region. The massif of Mount Patyn (1630 m) is located in the extreme north-east of the Mountain Shoria on the watershed of the Tashtyk and the Mrassu rivers. At present, the massif is completely devoid of modern glaciation. Early summer snowfields appear on the leeward slopes of the eastern, southern and northern macroslopes. The moraine deposits and the configuration of the relief forms have proved mountain-valley glaciation in the Late Pleistocene. The article also touches upon the issue of the origin of the so-called «megaliths» of the massif of Pustag mountain.

Published: November 2018

The article considers the ecological situation of the Altai Mountains, The growing impact of tourism on the environment can affect the flora, fauna and various ecosystems of the Altai Mountains. Other important aspects of environmental problems, such as waste accumulation and improper disposal. The air pollution in re region is determined not only by exhaust fumes, coal and wood boilers and furnaces, but also by its proximity to the Semipalatinsk test site and Baikonur cosmodrome. Therefore, all these issues make it necessary to study environmental education at schools and universities. It is important to raise the environmental awareness of the local population by informing them about the problems of their native land, i.e. environmental pollution and extinction of ecosystems, rare animals and plants. If ordinary people are not worried about the future of the land they call « the center of the Earth», very soon the future will be lost to them.

Authors: Шерин Егор , Sherin Egor
Published: November 2018

The paper provides an economic and geographical analysis of the supply directions and identifies the coal consumption areas of Kuznetsk coal and refined products. It highlights the place of Kuzbass among Russian coal basins and its contribution to the economy of the Kemerovo region and the country. The research features the domestic and foreign (export) supply directions and use of coal and its processing products, including issues of coal and coke competitiveness on the world market. The research has revealed the main problems of coal transportation outside the Kemerovo region, primarily related to the railroad workload and overpriced freight rates for the railway transportation. The author has made consumption zoning of the Kuznetsk coal according to the distance from the mining site, the scale of consumption and its role in the power system of regions. Three such areas have been identified: an area of nearby concentrated consumption, an area of moderately remote consumption, and an area of remote and scattered consumption. The paper gives an economic and geographical description of these areas.
Control and estimation of anaerobic digestion processes using hydrogen and volatile fatty acids measurements
Authors: Sbarciog M. , Giovannini G. , Chamy R. , Wouwer A. Vande
Published: November 2018

The anaerobic digestion (AD) technology is widely used in the treatment of waste and wastewater. To ensure the treatment efficiency and to increase the production of biogas, which can be reused as a renewable energy source, a good understanding of the process and tight control are needed. This paper presents an estimation and control scheme, which can be successfully used in the operation of the AD process. The process is simulated by the ADM1 model, the most complex and detailed model developed so far to characterize AD. The controller and the observer, which provides estimates of the unmeasurable variables needed in the computation of the control law, are designed based on a simplified model developed in a previous work. Since it has been shown that hydrogen concentration is an accurate and fast indicator of process stability, it was chosen as controlled variable. Aside from the hydrogen concentration, the only measurement employed by the proposed control structure is the volatile fatty acids concentration. Simulation results prove the effectiveness of the proposed control structure.

O presente trabalho está amparado na hipótese segundo a qual os conceitos de comunicação, informação e intersubjetividade constituem divisores de águas entre as teorias de Niklas Luhmann e Jürgen Habermas. Mesmo assim, e, inclusive, devido à distância que separa os dois projetos teóricos, eles podem ser tomados como perspectivas teóricas extremamente úteis para uma melhor compreensão do homem e da sua sociedade.
O Conceito Esfera Pública No Pensamento Habermasiano
Authors: Siebeneichler Flavio Beno
Published: November 2018

O texto intitulado Mudança estrutural da esfera pública, publicado em 1962 e que reproduz sua tese de habilitação, marca o início da multifacetada e complexa obra habermasiana. Ele configura, além disso, um dos conceitos centrais e estruturantes que acompanham a obra de Habermas como um todo. Dois anos mais tarde, em 1964, ele redigiu um novo texto, bastante resumido, sobre a esfera pública para um léxico, no qual condensa, reorganiza e, inclusive, remodela algumas idéias expostas na Mudança estrutural da esfera pública de 1962. Tomei esse texto como guia para entender as ideias nem sempre tão claras expostas no texto de 1962. Deter-me-ei em quatro pontos: a) O conceito de esfera pública nesta fase inicial de seu pensamento. b) A correta compreensão do conceito de esfera pública implica uma análise histórica. c) O modelo liberal de esfera pública. d) A esfera pública nas democracias de massa do Estado social.
Nanoparticle-plasma Membrane Interactions: Thermodynamics, Toxicity and Cellular Response
Authors: Rodríguez-Hernández Ana G. , Vazquez-Duhalt Rafael , Huerta-Saquero Alejandro
Published: November 2018

Nanomaterials have become part of our daily lives, particularly nanoparticles contained
in food, water, cosmetics, additives and textiles. Nanoparticles interact with organisms
at the cellular level. The cell membrane is the first protective barrier against the potential toxic
effect of nanoparticles. This first contact, including the interaction between the cell membranes
-and associated proteins- and the nanoparticles is critically reviewed here. Nanoparticles, depending
on their toxicity, can cause cellular physiology alterations, such as a disruption in cell
signaling or changes in gene expression and they can trigger immune responses and even apoptosis.
Additionally, the fundamental thermodynamics behind the nanoparticle-membrane and
nanoparticle-proteins-membrane interactions are discussed. The analysis is intended to increase
our insight into the mechanisms involved in these interactions. Finally, consequences are reviewed
and discussed.
Desensitization of 5-HT-1A Somatodentritic Receptors in Tryptophan Treated and Co-treated Rats Induced by Methylphenidate
Authors: Farhan Muhammad , Riaz Fatima , Wali Sana , Rafiq Hamna
Published: November 2018

Background:

Psychostimulants can induce behavioral sensitization by their chronic use. The main target for the action of these drugs is dopamine, neither epinephrine nor serotonin transporters. Serotonin is synthesized by the precursor L-tryptophan. Tryptophan and methylphenidate being 5-HT agonists, both increase the level of serotonin thereby causing desensitization of 5-HT1a receptors. The present study investigated whether behavioral sensitization induced by Methylphenidate is decreased in tryptophan administrated animals.

Methods:

The Experiment was divided into 2 phases (1). Behavioral effects of repeated administration of TRP 100 mg/kg and MPD for 14 days in three groups; (i) water (ii) MPD 1.0 mg/kg (iii) TRP. To explore the locomotor effects of treatment, the activity was monitored in a familiar and novel environment. (2) Behavioral consequences of repeatedly administrated MPD (1.0 mg/kg) on pretreated TRP (100 mg/kg) and MPD (1.0 mg/kg) animals following Co-MPD and TRP for 14 days, rats were divided in three groups (i) water, (ii) MPD and (iii) TRP as mentioned in Experiment no 1. After two weeks six subgroups were assigned i.e. (i) water-saline, (ii) water- MPD, (iii) TRP-saline (iv) TRP-MPD (v) MPD-saline and (vi) MPD-MPD+TRP and treated for further 14 days. Locomotor behavior was monitored in familiar environment on the next day and in novel environment on alternate days of each administration.

Results:

The Results from phase 1 showed increased activity in both (TRP and MPD) treatments. However, the results of phase 2 showed significant decrease in methylphenidate-induced behavioral sensitization by both pretreatment and co-administration with TRP.

Conclusion:

The present study suggests the potential of tryptophan to decrease the risk of behavioral sensitization induced by methylphenidate.
Promotion of Family Routines and Positive Parent-Child Interactions for Obesity Prevention: Protocol for the 3 Pillars Study Randomized Controlled Trial (Preprint)
Authors: Marsh Samantha , Gerritsen Sarah , Taylor Rachael , Galland Barbara , Parag Varsha , Maddison Ralph
Published: November 2018

BACKGROUND

Childhood obesity is a challenging public health issue, with 30% of children aged 2 to 4 years classified as being overweight or obese in New Zealand. This is concerning, given that up to 90% of obese 3-year-old children are overweight or obese by the time they reach adolescence. Interventions that target this age range often fail to demonstrate long-term effectiveness and primarily focus on traditional weight-related behaviors, including diet and physical activity. However, research suggests that targeting nontraditional weight-related behaviors, such as sleep, screen time, and family meals, may be a more effective approach in this age group, given the immense challenges in changing traditional weight-related behaviors in the long term.

OBJECTIVE

The aim of the proposed study was to develop and pilot the 3 Pillars Study (3PS), a 6-week program for parents of New Zealand toddlers and preschoolers aged 2 to 4 years to promote positive parent-child interactions during 3 family routines, specifically adequate sleep, regular family meals, and restricted screen time.

METHODS

Screen time at the end of the 6-week program is the primary endpoint. The effects of the program on screen time, frequency of family meals, parent feeding practices, diet quality, and sleep duration will be piloted using a randomized controlled trial, with outcomes compared between the active intervention group and a wait-list control group at 6 weeks (at the end of the program) and 12 weeks (at final follow-up). We aim to recruit 50 participants (25 per arm). Eligibility criteria include parents of children aged 2 to 4 years who are currently exceeding screen use recommendations (ie, greater than 1 hour of screen time per day). The 3PS program involves a half-day workshop, run by a community worker trained to deliver the program content, and 6-week access to a study website that contains in-depth information about the program. All participants will also receive a study pack, which includes resources to encourage engagement in the 3 family routines promoted by the program. Study data will be collected in REDCap. All statistical analyses will be performed using SAS version 9.4 and have been specified a priori in a statistical analysis plan prepared by the study statistician.

RESULTS

Trial recruitment opened in July 2018. Final follow-up was completed in December 2018, with trial findings expected to be available in early 2019.

CONCLUSIONS

Findings from this pilot study will provide relevant data to inform the design of a larger effectiveness study of the 3PS program.

The Effect of Ingredients Mixing Sequence in Rubber Compounding upon Vulcanization Kinetics of Natural Rubber: An Autocatalytic Model Study
Authors: Hasan Abu , Rochmadi Rochmadi , Sulistyo Hary , Honggokusumo Suharto
Published: November 2018

This study examined the effect of ingredients mixing sequence to the vulcanization kinetics of natural rubber. The effects of mixing temperature, vulcanization temperature, and the carbon black type upon the kinetics were also studied by using rheography and an autocatalysis reaction model approach. The results showed that this model is good in providing information on vulcanization reaction kinetics of natural rubber. High vulcanization temperature resulted in high reaction rate constant. The more black carbon mixed at the beginning of the rubber mixing process, the higher reaction rate constant would be. The mixing of carbon black and rubber chemicals mixed into the rubber subsequently resulted in the higher reaction rate constant compared with that of simultaneously.

Forecasting Moroccan Tax Revenues: An Analysis Using International Institutions Methodologies and VECM
Authors: Firdawss TAHRI , Karim Mohamed
Published: November 2018

The forecast of tax revenues is based on several methodologies. The literature review of empirical studies has concluded that the main ones are; the effective tax rate approach, the marginal tax rate approach, the elasticity approach, the regression approach and the analysis of co-integration. These approaches are advocated by International institutions, especially the International Monetary Fund (IMF) in its technical assistance of developing countries and its trainings to officials. Thereby, this paper aims to examine these different approaches, to apply them on Moroccan data and to compare their results in order to improve the forecasting system of Moroccan tax revenues. It turns out that the forecast of government revenue is a tough task that relies on the perfect knowledge of the predictable variables context and the awareness of the various external factors that can influence the future achievements. Moreover, regular comparisons of the forecasts and the revenue recorded are found to be fundamental to assess the quality of the estimates in order to increase the accuracy of predictions.

Published: November 2018

Uma sociedade imersa em grandes quantidades de informação deve ser pautada pela integração dos mais variados contextos organizacionais e informacionais, a fim de produzir conhecimento com características inter, multi, pluri e transdisciplinares. Assim, apresenta-se o seguinte problema de pesquisa: a empresa contemplada pela pesquisa, pertencente ao ramo de comunicação e tecnologia, possui uma cultura organizacional voltada à promoção e desenvolvimento da gestão da informação e do conhecimento baseada no pensamento complexo? O objetivo da pesquisa é verificar se esta empresa apresenta fatores que indicam uma cultura organizacional voltada à promoção e desenvolvimento da gestão da informação e do conhecimento em suas práticas de trabalho, com base na teoria da complexidade. Para isso, foi realizada uma pesquisa descritivo-exploratória de natureza qualitativa, utilizando como instrumento de pesquisa o roteiro de entrevista, e como método de análise, a “Análise de Conteúdo”. Os resultados demonstram que o ambiente organizacional desenvolve de maneira mais acentuada as práticas de gestão da informação do que de gestão do conhecimento, baseando-se em alguns princípios do pensamento complexo desenvolvidos em paralelo com a gestão da informação, e se pode apontar que dos sete princípios do pensamento complexo, os desenvolvidos na empresa pesquisada são: princípio hologramático, princípio da auto-eco-organização, princípio do círculo retroativo e princípio do círculo recursivo.

Hindus community in Bali views time as an important matter. The presence of time or Kala is associated with the myth of Magic. The relationship can be seen in the myth of Sasih Ka-enem which is believed to be the phase of epidemic. Often the myth of Sasih Ka-enem is also associated with the discourse of Ida Ratu Gede Mas Macaling as the magi figure of propagator and disaster in Bali. Interestingly, the image of Ida Ratu Gede Mas Macaling Dalem Nusa  Penida just seems to be a living myth and "offerings" for balian,  pengiring, and mysticism. Recently, many people perceive him as an object of worship, and more various interesting versions of Magi discourse about him growing in society. Because of those reasons, it is important to study the phenomenon into this scientific writing to identify the value and meaning of Magi discourse.

The aims of this paper are to describe the form of abolition of sin in the text of Siva Puraana, the comprehension of Hindus about Siva Puraana, as well as the perception of Hindus in Denpasar City about the abolition of sin in Siva Puraana. The word ‘sin’ in Hindu’s terminology is well known as ‘papa’ which appeared and derived from asubha karma (bad behavior) of a human. Siva Puraana describes a lot of short holy texts (sloka) and stories about the abolition of sin by doing a devotion to the God Siva or by listening and reading the Siva Puraana text scripture. This research location was in Vrata Vijaya Ashram. The result of research, in general, was informant declared that sin couldn’t be able to be wiped out, but  the possible reason is equaling it by a good behaviour (subha karma), and also all the moral education in Siva Puraana should be understood and implemented in daily life, so  human will be exempted from a sin.
Dharmasasananing Pandita In Hindu Diversity System In Bali

Hindus feel disappointed and disgraced if one of their figures who should be a leader and purified does a disgraceful deed such as having an illegal wife, working as a middleman, slandering and so forth. In short, Hindus feel disappointed and disgraced if one of their figures who should be a leader and purified “deviates” from the ethical code of priesthood (dharmasasaning pandita). Just to remind again that when someone starts his priesthood, the ethical cod of priesthood (dharmasasananing pandita) should be used as the parameter of his identity as a holy person. In many Hindu literary works, the dharmasasananing pandita has been included. The reasons why a priest often ‘deviates’ from the ethical code of priesthood are as follows. From the internal dimension, the senior priest (nabe) is often used as a symbol, the impact of the symbolic capital “power” and the impact of uncontrollable sexual libido. The external dimension includes: the impact of external ‘education’, the impact of genealogical caste, and impact of the market ideology. The implications on a priest are as follows: he will become a what is called patita, he will die young, he will go to hell, and it is believed that, when he is reincarnated, he will not become a human being any longer. The implications on society are as follows: conflicts cannot be avoided, more and more people are getting poor, religious conversion cannot be avoided, and society will become psychologically depressed.

Bali having many literary work in form of lontar which is stored in a library or collection of personal. Overall, it cannot be known for certain but mostly to lack of care. The lontar contain to the transcendent value the teachings of Hinduism that can be implemented in life. This research revealed about the preservation of cultural and Hinduism through the efforts of lontar digitalization which is then associated with the role of Hinduism informal education especially at Puri Gede Kerambitan. The focus of research are: lontar digitalization process, the role of the lontar digitalization to Hinduism informal education, and the efforts that supports lontar digitalization. The purpose of this research are: provides a description of lontar digitalization at Puri Gede Kerambitan, explaining the role of the process of lontar digitalization to Hinduism informal education and provides a description of supporting efforts lontar digitalization. Disclosure of research results was done through qualitative arguments. The results of this study indicate that are (1) Lontar is cultural documentation of the past that is highly valued. The preservation of lontar by doing lontar digitalization can provides a description about the conversion of the lontar into the form of digital image by using digital equipments. Lontar digitalization as a positive step to save the literature about culture and Hinduism that is highly valued; (2) Lontar digitalization has a positive for the process of Hinduism informal education by applying values of Hinduism directly during the performance of lontar digitalization; (3) Puri Gede Kerambitan gives full support to the lontar digitalization process that has been conducted by outsiders. But the Government support is still not maximum yet to the preservation of culture and Hinduism. The efforts made by various parties were the overview of insights and viewpoints that support the preservation of lontar through lontar digitalization.

Research conducted at Ashram Yoga Ananda Marga guided by a desire to know more about the benefits of yoga asanas for an individual to develop himself physically, mentally and spiritually, yogis who have developed this yoga since thousands of years ago, until now characterized separately by emphasizing according to the type that occupied, in its implementation for the benefit of the health and maximize efforts to accelerate achieved the ultimate goal in life. The objectives to be achieved is to understand more clearly focused and in-depth about asana techniques as meditation Spiritual development is developed and implemented by a group Ananda Marga Ashram spiritual in Denpasar. The study used several theories, namely the theory of structural functionalism, system theory of learning, theory of Hindu theology. In this study the methods used in qualitative approach of primary data obtained through field research and secondary data which can be obtained from some of the literature that has relevance to the problems examined. Furthermore, all the collected data are analyzed in the description. Based on the data analysis, it can be concluded about the practice of yoga asanas, in its approach, asana yoga training system applied is the patterns not only classical but more modernity according to the times. Ananda Marga implement training technique known as practical Rajadhiraja which is an extension of the ancient Rajayoga system, also known as Astanga yoga. It is practiced in a relatively slow speed and each pose is repeated in a systematic way. The goal in the repetition is to balance the secretion of hormones that are essential for peace of mind.

Development and In Vitro Characterization of Solid Lipid Nanoparticles(SLN) Containing Methotrexate And Doxycycline
Authors: R Vijaya , K R Ram Kishan
Published: November 2018

Solid lipid nanoparticles (SLN) containing Disease Modifying Antirheumatic drugs (DMARDs) Methotrexate (MTX) and Doxycycline (DOX) was developed using a triglyceride (tristearin) and a polaxamer (pluronic F68). Hot
homogenization of melted lipid and aqueous phase at temperature above the melting point of lipid had produced SLN dispersion. Optimization of process and formulation variables have yielded SLN having an entrapment efficiency of 65.07%±1.23% and 79.56%±0.92% for MTX and DOX respectively. Particle size and zeta potential measured using Malvern Zetasizer showed 157.2nm and -9.6mv respectively for the optimized SLN formulation. The compatibility between the drug and the formulation excipients was tested by Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR) and found to be compatible. Powder X-ray diffraction (PXRD) study revealed that the drugs and lipid were dispersed in crystalline state in SLN. The in vitro drug release studies performed in phosphate buffer of pH 7.4 using dialysis bag showed a sustained release of both the drugs (andgt;75%±1.4%) up to a period of two days. From the in vitro results, it can be concluded that SLN was found to be a suitable nano carrier for the incorporation of DMARDS: MTX and DOX without any significant interaction. The developed system produced sustained release of both the drugs (based on their concentration) for longer duration and thus suitable for the chronic inflammatory conditions of RA.

Enantioenriched molecules bearing indole-substituted stereocenters form a class of privileged compounds in biological, medicinal, and organic chemistry. Thus, the development of methods for asymmetric indole alkylation is highly valuable in organic synthesis. Traditionally, achieving N-selectivity in indole alkylation reactions is a significant challenge, since there is an intrinsic preference for alkylation at C3, the most nucleophilic position. Furthermore, selective and predictable access to either N- and C3-alkylated chiral indoles using catalyst control has been a long-standing goal in indole functionalization. Herein, we report a ligand-controlled regiodivergent synthesis of N- and C3-alkylated chiral indoles that relies on a polarity reversal strategy. In contrast to conventional alkylation reactions in which indoles are employed as nucleophiles, this transformation employs electrophilic indole derivatives, N-(benzoyloxy)indoles, as coupling partners. N- or C3-alkylated indoles are prepared with high levels of regio- and enantioselectivity using a copper hydride catalyst. The regioselectivity is governed by the use of either DTBM-SEGPHOS or Ph-BPE as the supporting ligand. Density functional theory (DFT) calculations are conducted to elucidate the origin of the ligand-controlled regiodivergence.
