Authors: Mukesh Tiwari  , Madhulika Pradhan  , Hemant Badwaik  , Verma Anuradha , Anshika Garg  , Singh Manish K.
Published: June 2024

Glaucoma is a worldwide major cause of vision loss; it is mainly caused due to the degeneration of retinal cells. Its symptoms usually appear at a later stage and thus chances of vision loss are high. Ophthalmic formulations have vast applications in the treatment of several ocular disorders such as glaucoma, dry eye syndrome, and many more. Conventional dosage forms such as eye drops have been used for the treatment of glaucoma for several years but they need to be sterile, especially multi-dose formulations. Ophthalmic dosage forms generally include preservatives such as Benzalkonium chloride (BAK) to maintain the sterility of the formulations which in some cases, were reported with severe ocular irritation and toxicity including corneal damage, ocular inflammation, and conjunctival injury even though used in minute concentration. Thus, there is a dire need to review the preservative-free ophthalmic formulations (PFOF) for the treatment and management of glaucoma to overcome the side effects associated with preserved formulations and to eliminate the irritation and toxicity caused by the preservatives. This article details the current research progress and development of PFOFs for the treatment of glaucoma. Moreover, a brief on preservative-free options of ophthalmic solutions and their applications in glaucoma, with a special focus on factors limiting their development has also been presented. In addition, this review also provides up-to-date information regarding the use of preservative-free antiglaucoma treatment.

Development and Validation of a Systematized Liquid Chromatographic Method for Estimation of Roflumilast in Tablets and in Presence of its Degradation Products
Authors: Panda Sagar Suman , Bera Ravi Kumar Venkata Varaha
Published: June 2024

Background: Roflumilast (ROF) is an antiasthmatic drug used frequently for treating chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). The various reported methods developed with a non-systematised traditional workframe for routine estimation of ROF in formulations indicated the demand for developing a systematised new method. 
Objective: In the present study, an attempt was made to develop a new validated liquid chromatographic method with federal flexibilities and stability-indicating potential.
Method: A time-efficient, rapid, and systematised quality by design (QbD) approach was developed to avail regulatory flexibilities with assured performance. Defining the analytical target profile (ATP) and associated critical analytical attributes (CAAs) helped control the method’s performance. Methanol proportion, flow rate, pH, and detection wavelength were the four identified critical method variables (CMVs) that were further studied for robustness investigation. Moreover, the control strategies for CMVs were defined as per method intent. Chromatography constituted methanol: water (pH 3.5 maintained by orthophosphoric acid) (90:10% v/v) as the mobile phase, flowing at 1.2 ml/min on a ShimPack GWS C18 column. The photodiode array (PDA) detector provided the best results at 250 nm.
Results: ROF was eluted at a retention time of 3.1 min with acceptable system suitability values. Validation studies postulated method acceptability and suitability. Results for parameters viz. linearity (0.5–160 µg/ml), accuracy (> 98%), and precision (< 1%) advocated method reliability. ROF was susceptible to applied acidic and alkaline stress, requiring adequate preventive measures during formulation development.
Conclusion: Overall, this method worked well for figuring out ROF even when there were product additives and possible degradation products present, showing that it can be used on a regular basis.

Determinasi Sosial dalam Memilih Pasangan Hidup Melalui Perkawinan Nyentana pada Masyarakat Hindu di Bali
Authors: Sri Pratiwi Ni Putu , Nurwati Nunung , Sekarningrum Bintarsih
Published: June 2024

Nyentana marriage has both positive and negative impacts on sentana rajeg. Although nyentana marriage in Bali supports gender equality, sentana rajeg faces significant challenges in implementing a matrilineal kinship pattern amidst patrilineal dominance, leading to difficulties in choosing a life partner. The aim of this study is to describe the current condition of nyentana marriage, analyze the forms of social determination experienced by sentana rajeg, and explore the social practices undertaken by sentana rajeg in seeking a life partner. This research employs a qualitative method with a descriptive-explanatory and descriptive-exploratory approach. Data collection techniques include in-depth interviews, observation, and document studies. Data analysis is conducted based on social practice theory. The study finds that the acceptance of nyentana marriage among the Balinese Hindu community is relatively slow due to the social stigma of "paid bangkung," issues of caste differences, conflicts of rights and obligations, and the loss of inheritance rights for men post-nyentana marriage. Sentana rajeg experiences social determination in choosing a life partner due to the need to fulfill various aspects such as religious norms, adjustment to the matrilineal kinship system, the necessity to find a partner from the same caste, demands for stability, and geographical limitations in finding a partner. According to social practice theory, to establish the habitus of nyentana marriage, sentana rajeg must distribute various capitals within a limited arena.

Protest sentiments of the Russian peasantry at the beginning of the XX century as a factor of destructive influence on the stable development of society
Authors: Frolov Vitalij
Published: June 2024

The article is devoted to a protest sentiment of Russian peasants as one of the problems of society in Russian Empire at the beginning of XX century. The Russian peasantry influenced the path of development of the country objectively as being the majority of the population of Russia. The protest sentiments of the Russian peasants were one of the important elements that influenced the destructive processes in the Russian Empire. The article draws attention to the motivation of the peasant protest and raises the question of the historical responsibility of the peasantry for the revolutionary events of 1917. The authors noted that the traditions of communalism, collective ownership of land, a “moral” rather than a market economy, and the rejection of individualism among peasants were in conflict with the modernization processes that began in post-reform Russia, based on opposing values. In the 1880–1890s an unprecedented industrial boom begins and, as a result, a significant numerical reduction of the peasantry due to the city’s need for labor and the mechanization of agricultural labor. The peasant community also had to become an inevitable victim of the modernization process. The authors concluded, that disruption of the centuries-old way of life became a natural source of protest reaction from the peasantry beginning at the turn of the XIX – XX centuries. Stolypin's government briefly restored stability in the country. The Great War aggravated the existing problems and the protest of the peasants destroyed the old society.
The activities of the Social Security Department of the Pskov city Administration during the years of occupation (1941-1944).
Authors: Khrishkevich Tatiana
Published: June 2024

The article examines the social practices of the civil occupation authorities of the city of Pskov in 1941-1944. The article analyzes the reasons for the provision of social assistance, its varieties, and size. Assistance was entrusted to the social department of the Pskov City Administration, which compiled survey reports, visiting the housing of the poor and disabled. Among the measures were bread and fuel cards, as well as the provision of housing and medical care.  The publication is based on documents located in the State Archive of the Pskov region. The activities of the social security department of the Pskov city Administration during the years of occupation are reviewed on the basis of archive materials, the funds of which also contain data from the trade and financial departments of Pskov dealing with payments to the population. The residents who remained in the city did not represent an exceptionally able-bodied community. They were often disabled people, children and women who, for various reasons, could not evacuate. They were unable to work either for health reasons, or because of their age, or because their specialty turned out to be unclaimed by the occupiers. As a result, the author comes to the conclusion about the limited and unsatisfactory amount of social support for residents of occupied Pskov. Social support, although organized by the city administration department, was in practice coordinated with the German commandant's office, which was the source of genuine power. The funds allocated by the department were so insignificant that they did not allow them to live even for a week. The prices of groceries in stores and on the market were incredibly high. Cash flows to the department were also extremely limited. Survival in occupied Pskov, as in any Nazi-occupied city, turned into a fierce struggle for life. By the time of liberation, less than a thousand people remained in the city from the pre-war more than 60 thousand people.
The Place of the Military Revolutionary Organizations of the Estonian Region in the Process of Approving the Authorities of the Soviets During the Period of the Russian Revolution
Authors: Egorov Igor
Published: June 2024

The dramatic events of the great Russian revolution of 1917, which to a certain extent became the catalyst for major global changes, are one of the turning points of world history that led to the onset of the modern era. The historical upheaval caused by these events influenced the change in many vectors of further development both directly of our country and of the world community as a whole. At the same time, modern domestic historiography often forgets or underestimates the prominent role that Estonian military-revolutionary organizations played in establishing this power at the very beginning of its formation. Meanwhile, the leadership of the Bolshevik Party reasonably considered Estonia as one of the most important bridgeheads of the political coup prepared in October 1917. 
In this regard, it is important to take into account not only the geographical position, but also the socio-economic and military-strategic importance of the Estonian region for the entire North-West of Russia. On the eve of the 1917 revolution, the Estland province was one of the largest industrial centers of the Russian Empire. At this time, a kind of agglomeration developed between Revel (modern Tallinn) and Petrograd (St. Petersburg), or more precisely conurbation (from Latin con – «together» and urbs – «city»), which included a network of industrial zones, ports, arsenals, military bases, etc. In the conditions of the long First World War, it was also one of the most important bases of the Baltic Fleet and the closest rear area for the troops of the Northern Front, which covered Petrograd from the Kaiser army. On October 23, 1917, revolutionary troops and detachments of the Red Guard captured railway stations, mail, telegraph and other strategic objects in Revel. Commissars of the Estonian Military Commissars were sent to military units, ships and institutions. Thus, the control of the pro-Soviet forces in Tallinn was established even after the beginning of the armed uprising in Petrograd (October 24-25, 1917) and, in fact, was a dress rehearsal for the latter.
Thus, the Estonian Military Revolutionary Committee, even a day before the start of the open speech of the Bolsheviks to seize key positions in Petrograd, took control of all the strategically important points of Revel, put revolutionary military units and the fleet on alert. As a result of these actions, Estonian military-revolutionary organizations blocked the path of counter-revolutionary units trying to move in the direction of Petrograd. Without achieving all of their original goals, Estonian military revolutionary organizations made a notable contribution to the Bolshevik power-building in the earliest days of Soviet power in Russia, when its position here was still extremely unsustainable.
The fight against Jewish proselytism under Theodosius the Great by the example of the sermons of John Chrysostom and Egyptian papyri
Authors: Filatov Alexey
Published: June 2024

The article is dedicated to the research of the new stage in history of Jewish-Christian relations in Roman Empire started in the second half of the 4th century. In this period, the influence of Jewish religious tradition on mass consciousness of Christians in the Middle East intensified again. The process was reflected in John Chrysostoms’ sermons «Agains the Jews» as well as in works of Church historians. However, besides literary sources, the evidences of popularity of Judaism among Gentiles and Christians in the age of Late Antiquity can be found in vast papyri material uncovered in Egypt. The current work traces the ties between these different types of historical sources, which permit to shed a new light on the topic of proselytism and Jewish-Christian conflicts.
New forms of work at Leningrad enterprises during and after the lifting of the blockade (using the example of the Izhora plant)
Authors: Prischepa Aleksandr
Published: June 2024

During the Great Patriotic War, one of the oldest enterprises in our country, Izhorsky Zavod, produced its products. It was needed to Win. But even in these extreme conditions, issues related to reconstruction and renovation of the material base were successfully resolved. This was required for the further development of the plant already in peacetime.
This work shows the restoration process of the industrial capacities of the Izhorsky plant, which took place after the lifting of the siege of Leningrad; the development of the industrial potential of the enterprise is considered; real examples of the labor successes of the working collective, which actively participated in the restoration of the destroyed infrastructure of the Izhorsky enterprise, are shown.
At that time, serious qualitative changes were taking place in the USSR in the process of using new industrial equipment. The replacement of morally and materially outdated mechanisms and equipment begins. The industrial enterprises of Leningrad were a kind of progenitors of the scientific and technical revolution in our country.
The Images of Sacred Trees in Ancient Egyptian Fairy Tales
Authors: Mironova Alexandra
Published: June 2024

The paper examines the semantics of trees described in the ancient Egyptian fairy tales “Tale of Two Brothers” and in the “Story of Sinuhe”. The purpose of the study is to identify the semantics of trees in these fairy tales, their relationship with the religious ideas of the Egyptians and specifies of ideas about the calendar cycle displayed in these texts. The author traces literary parallels between the images of fairy-tale trees and the motifs of the “Book of the Dead”, which tells about the posthumous life of the soul of the deceased in the Netherworld.
 
            The study reveals that in the “Tale of Two Brothers”, the cedar and two persea trees are correlated with the Osiris and solar cults. The persea trees represent the rays of the sun, Osiris and the deceased as the blessed spirit Akh. The cedar inflorescence located at the top of the tree is also associated with the image of the sun. It was found that in this fairy tale, the description of tree life and the hero’s repeated birth reflect the change of calendar cycles from the flood season to the harvest season, from the period of visibility of celestial bodies and plants to the period of their invisibility. The sycamore, mentioned in the “Story of Sinuhe”, is the sacred tree of Hathor, Isis and Nut and appears as a symbol of the heaven with which these goddesses were associated.
"Independence" and "statehood" narratives in the modern Catalan-Spanish memorial confrontation
Authors: Kyrchanoff Maksym
Published: June 2024

The author in this article analyses the features of the development of historical policy in modern Catalonia through the prism of the representation of the concepts of “independence” and “statehood” in the memorial culture of the regional society. The purpose of the study is to analyze the perception of the concepts of “statehood” and “independence” in modern Catalan memorial culture and historical memory. The author analyses the role and place of regional intellectual communities and political elites as the main participants in historical politics, defined as forms of development of Catalan nationalist imagination. The novelty of the study lies in the study of the current (modern) stage in the development of the historical politics of the regional Catalan society through the prism of development of of the concepts of “statehood” and “independence” in memorial culture, which stimulates a negative response from Castilian (Spanish) nationalists as opponents of the Catalan political project. It is shown that 1) the intellectual community in Catalonia is a systemic segment of modern nationalist political memorial culture, 2) the spectrum of memorial practices of regional intellectuals in Catalonia is limited mainly by their involvement in the development of civic identity through the prism of updating and visualizing the concepts of "statehood" and "independence" in public and political discourses, 3) "statehood" and "independence"concepts in historical imagination and memorial culture of modern Catalan nationalism are used to legitimize the political program of independence. It is assumed that the participation of regional intellectuals in memory wars actualizes the political, ideological and ethnic heterogeneity of society.

History of Islam in Australia: Muslim Migration and the Evolution of Islamic Education
Authors: Jaelani  , Irwan  , Ratisa  , Yesi
Published: June 2024

This study describes the history of Islam in Australia, highlighting the influx of Muslims and depicting the development of Islam in the country. This research employs the historical method, comprising four stages: heuristics for source collection, source verification or criticism, interpretation or analysis, and historiography for historical writing. The results of this study demonstrate that Islam began to spread to Australia in the early 17th century, primarily due to the regular presence of Makassar fishermen and traders searching for tripang. The next wave of Muslims who came and settled in Australia were Afghan Muslims, Malay Muslims, Indians, Albanians, Lebanese, Indonesians, and so on. The presence of Islam encourages Islamic education in the country, starting with non-formal Islamic education centered in mosques, homes, or offices of Islamic organizations. Various Muslim communities conduct studies and seminars on weekends, commonly known as 'Saturday or Sunday School.' The 1970s saw the establishment of formal Islamic schools in response to the growing Muslim population. The development of Islamic education in Australia gained momentum in the mid-1990s. Privately run Islamic schools adopt the entire local education system, with an additional six hours per week for religious content. As Islamic schools have developed, they have expanded to various states in Australia. The attitude of tolerance and openness that Islamic schools in Australia cultivate supports this

This study aims to explore the influence of Human Resource (HR) development on product innovation in Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) in Kendari City. The main focus is how improved HR competencies can contribute to innovative product development in the context of local MSMEs. This study used descriptive qualitative analysis involving 30 MSMEs in Kendari. Data was collected through in-depth interviews, observations, and documentation studies. This approach allows researchers to gain a broader understanding of the internal dynamics of MSMEs and their influence on product innovation. The results showed that of the MSMEs that invested in HR development, 70% of respondents recognized that training and continuing education are essential investments for improving the quality of employees, which will influence skills development, and tend to result in more significant product innovation. The research also identified several challenges, including limited resources and access to relevant training. Investment in HR development is a key factor in driving product innovation in Kendari MSMEs. However, there needs to be further efforts to overcome existing barriers, including through government support and educational institutions. This study recommends further research with a mixed approach to deepen the understanding of the relationship between HR development and innovation in MSMEs.

The research examines the current problems of NATO standards implementation in the security and defence sector. The author analyses the regulatory and legal governance in the field of national security and the main problems related to the security and defence sector and searches for areas of adaptation in accordance with NATO standards. Today, Ukraine is a key regional strategic partner of the United States, which is making tremendous efforts to reform its armed forces and increase their interoperability with the armed forces of NATO member states. The US-Ukraine Strategic Partnership Pact focuses on the importance of maintaining bilateral cooperation and the continued commitment of the United States to support Ukraine's aspirations to engage with NATO. The United States and its allies have established an Intergovernmental Joint Commission and a Joint Intergovernmental Training Centre to coordinate actions to assist Ukraine in building the necessary defence capabilities. Relations between Ukraine and NATO are essential for ensuring peace and stability in the Euro-Atlantic area. NATO standards will open up new opportunities for the development, production and sale of weapons and military equipment for the Ukrainian defence industry, as well as identify new areas of cooperation with Western partners. NATO standards will open up new opportunities for the development, production and sale of weapons and military equipment for the Ukrainian defence industry, as well as identify new areas of cooperation with Western partners. It is cooperation with NATO that will make it possible to organize joint ventures and production facilities, as well as create attractive investment conditions that will allow the transfer of the latest technologies for the production of components and assemblies to Ukraine in order to create conditions for the completion of weapons systems for the national armed forces, as well as joint production to enter the markets of third countries.

The depletion of global fossil fuel reserves and environmental concerns associated with its production are driving the shift towards biomass as a renewable energy source, which can be converted into biofuels and biogas for diverse energy applications. Hence, we conducted pyrolysis experiments on plantain stalk samples to examine the impact of pyrolysis temperature and heating rate on product yields and their chemical compositions. Optimal conditions for maximum bio-oil yield (22%) were identified at a torrefaction pre-treatment temperature of 300℃. The highest biochar yield (16.88%) was achieved at 300℃, while the highest biogas yield (61.85%) was observed at 150℃. Detailed elemental, proximate, and ultimate analyses of the bio-oil were performed, and its chemical composition was analyzed using Gas Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry (GC-MS). The chromatographic and spectroscopic studies confirmed that bio-oil derived from plantain stalk is a promising renewable fuel and chemical feedstock, indicating its potential in sustainable energy applications.

Digital tools for students with ADHD have been scarcely implemented in current education due to the challenges they pose. Therefore, rigorous research, from the perspective of web application development, will strengthen students' formative process. In the present study, a web platform prototype was developed to automate the process of psycho-pedagogical intervention in children aged 5 and 12 with ADHD, focused on evaluating how this tool contributes to the process of psycho-pedagogical stimulation. The prototype was developed using XP methodology divided into two general phases and semi-structured interview techniques and structured surveys to gather relevant information. The first general phase involved the construction of the prototype, which included applying the interviews to obtain the system requirements and the BPMN process model of the general pedagogical approach. Interface design, architecture design, and prototype development were also carried out. The second general phase evaluated the system through acceptance and load and stress tests. Finally, usability evaluation was conducted following ISO 25010 and ISO 25040 standards. The usability measure obtained was "good," defined according to decision criteria, allowing us to infer the impact of implementing web tools.

Published: June 2024

The article evaluates the performance in terms of execution times in solving algebraic integrals using both the object-oriented programming (OOP) and reactive programming (RP) paradigms. The problem addressed is the lack of scientific evidence that allows us to determine which paradigm offers the best results in terms of execution times in solving these integrals. The approach of the study involves the implementation of two versions in Java, each built following the principles of the aforementioned paradigms. Subsequently, through controlled experimental scenarios and integrated Java methods, the execution time of each application is measured. The results reveal that reactive programming demonstrates greater efficiency in terms of performance. This research focuses on the resolution of linear and polynomial algebraic integrals and points out the need for more extensive research in this field. In conclusion, the study shows that reactive programming significantly outperforms object-oriented programming, demonstrating notably lower execution times.

Published: June 2024

In an increasingly interconnected world, the unlicensed 2.4 and 5 GHz frequency bands have been essential for developing wireless applications such as Wi-Fi (IoT devices), home automation, and media streaming, among others. However, in highly populated urban environments, such as Guayaquil,Ecuador, the efficient administration of these spectrum swaths is a critical challenge that allows the development of smart and sustainable cities. The lack of comprehensive studies on interference in these bands in dense indoor environments causes a deterioration in network reliability, limiting the ability to use higher modulation schemes (MCS) which are essential for applications that require higher connection speeds. This study focuses on the precise collection of radio spectrum measurements in Guayaquil, specifically in the 2.4 and 5 GHz bands, to evaluate interference levels and channel availability in these densely urban environments. The results reveal more pronounced saturation in the 2.4 GHz band, underscoring the urgent need for more effective spectrum management in densely populated urban areas to ensure robust connectivity.
