Authors: Thenmozhi M. , Suganya T. , Marimuthu Gokul
Published: December 2023

Aim of this research was to formulate and evaluate the polymeric nanoparticle as carriers of rosuvastatin calcium for oral administration. Rosuvastatin calcium-loaded nanoparticles were formulated by nanoprecipitation method using different ratios of polymers (Eudragit L100 and Eudragit S100) and different concentrations of stabilizers (Pluronic F68 and PVA) with constant drug concentration. The formulations were evaluated for particle size, zeta potential, drug content, entrapment efficiency, in vitro release, kinetics, solubility, ex vivo intestinal permeability and Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM). Fourier Transform-Infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy and Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC) studies were carried out to check compatibility between the drug and polymers. No significant drug-polymer interactions were found. To enhance drug entrapment particle size range from 100-250 nm were prepared and entrapment efficiencies were found be 28-79 %. In vitro release studies showed a biphasic release pattern of rosuvastatin calcium from nanosuspensions: One initial burst release in the first 2 hours which could be helpful to improve the penetration of drug followed by a second slow release phase consistent with a Higuchi diffusion mechanism. The solubility of rosuvastatin calcium loaded polymeric nanoparticles compared to pure drug form was increased to about two-fold. Intestinal permeability of rosuvastatin calcium entrapped in Eudragit L100 an Eudragit S100 nanoparticles across rat small intestinal segments was significantly improved compared with rosuvastatin calcium in solution. Nanoparticles observed by TEM showed extremely spherical shapes. Results indicated that nanoparticle formulations could be a promising delivery system for oral administration of rosuvastatin calcium with enhanced solubility, intestinal permeability and improved oral bioavailability.
Toxicological Impact of Nanoparticles on Reproductive System: A Review
Authors: Bhardwaj Jitender Kumar , Rathee Vishavjeet
Published: December 2023

The widespread utilization of Nanoparticles (NPs) in industrial, medical, and consumer goods prompted worries about their possible toxicity. Growing concerns towards individual well- being may however impede the widespread use of this intriguing invention. Although people are exposed to nanoparticles from an early age, but it has increased significantly in the past several years owing to anthropogenic sources of these nanoparticles. The consequences of nanoparticles on the male and female reproductive system are addressed in this review. NPs can infiltrate the epithelial barrier, placental barrier, and blood-testis-barrier and then amass in reproductive organs. NPs amassing impairs organs such as the testis, ovaries and uterus via obliterating Leydig cells, Sertoli cells and Germ Cells, exacerbating reproductive system impairment which unduly affects the quality, amount, morphology, and mobility of sperms or decreasing the amount of egg maturation and distress the folliculogenesis mainly primary and secondary follicular development. NPs may also alter secreted hormone levels and induce effects on sexual behavior. These detrimental effects correlate to nanoparticle composition, surface modification, dosage, mode of transmission and animal species. The current review, however, concentrates on nanoparticles induced toxicological issues and their potential toxicity mechanisms such as oxidative damage, apoptosis, inflammation as well as genotoxicity. NPs may enhance inflammatory response, and oxidative stress, and produce ROS damage, which leads to cytotoxicity at both molecular and genetic levels.

Published: December 2023

Considering the need for alternative medicine in alleviation of tumors and use of nanotechnology in furthering the action of herbal/natural products, the present study was designed to evaluate the anti-carcinogenic potential of Neem leaf Extract (NE) loaded calcium phosphate nanoparticles (NE-CaNP) on 7, 12-Dimethylbenzanthracene (DMBA) induced mammary tumors in female Sprague-Dawley rats. Ultrastructurally, the NE-CaNP were smooth, spherical with a tendency to agglomerate and evenly distributed. The NE-CaNP had a mean diameter of 231.4 ± 89.2 nm and zeta potential of -31.3mV. The mean coupling efficiency of CaNP was 90-91 %. The experimental trial consisted of control, NE-CaNP control, DMBA, DMBA+NE and DMBA+NE-CaNP groups. The mean latency periods for occurrence of mammary tumor were significantly (P ≤ 0.05) increased in the DMBA+NE and DMBA+NE-CaNP groups compared to the DMBA group. The mean latency period in the DMBA+NE-CaNP group was significantly (P ≤ 0.05) higher than the DMBA+NE group. The mean tumor frequency, volume and weight were significantly (P ≤ 0.05) decreased in the DMBA+NE-CaNP group. Histopathologically, the number of benign lesions was found highest (47.54%) in DMBA+NE-CaNP group rats. The relative percent reduction in malignancy as compared to the DMBA group was 42.86% and 54.29% in the DMBA+NE and DMBA+NE-CaNP groups respectively. In conclusion, the neem leaf extract loaded calcium phosphate nanoparticles were found to have better anti-carcinogenic potential by significantly reducing the incidence, frequency, weight, volume, malignancy and increased the tumor latency period of DMBA induced mammary tumors in female Sprague-Dawley rats as compared to rats treated with neem extract alone. Findings of the present study suggested that the neem leaf extract loaded calcium phosphate nanoparticles (NE-CaNP) has immense anticancer potential in terms of reduction in tumor burden and malignancy.
Living Through a Pandemic with Birds
Authors: Kim Bo Sun
Published: December 2023

The COVID-19 pandemic highlights the intricate interdependence among humans and other living creatures. It is imperative for educators to acknowledge these connections and embrace an approach that recognizes humans as part of the shared world, woven together with other species and elements. To commit to such an approach, educators should reckon with their pedagogical dispositions and orientations toward the world and incorporate them into their teaching. The curriculum inquiry “Living with Birds” offers a renewed perspective by examining the everyday interactions and relationships among children, educators, a pedagogist, and birds, and their ethical and pedagogical implications in an early childhood context.
Self-employment in Spanish law
Authors: Tyc Aneta
Published: December 2023

The objective of the article is to analyse legal regulations concerning self-employed activity in force in Spain. Spain is the first EU Member State to have adopted a separate law (on 11 July 2007) to comprehensively and systemically regulate the legal status of the self-employed. The Spanish 2007 LETA act aimed to sort out the situation of the self-employed and grant them additional rights. A new category of economically dependent self-employed persons was introduced and accorded special protection. The author discusses the concept and typology of self-employment, including classic, economically dependent, and bogus self-employment. In her view, the Spanish solution of regulating self-employment in a single piece of legislation appears attractive, but the criteria introduced in the law to determine the status of economically dependent self-employed do not adequately fulfil their role in practice. Their restrictive nature, far-reaching casuistry, and the criterion of economic dependence of the self-employed, who must receive at least 75 per cent of their income from a single counterparty, which is difficult to verify objectively and relatively easy to circumvent, result in a negligible number of self-employed persons benefiting from the protective guarantees provided by LETA.

Fresh A. thazard oil had significantly (P<0.05) higher peroxide and acidic values and fresh T. tonggol oil had higher iodine value (P<0.05). Conclusion: It can be concluded that canned A. thazard oil after 3 months storage had significantly (P<0.05) the lowest iodine value (156.36+4.30gr I2/100gr) and the T. tonggol oil had highest iodine value (293.4+5.2gr I2/100gr) after 1-month storage.
Contribution of New Korean Rice Varieties to Food Security for Households in the Senegal River Valley
Authors: Abdoulaye Amadou
Published: December 2023

Rice farming in Senegal relies on small family farms and plays a crucial role in meeting food needs. However, local supply is insufficient and threatens food security in terms of availability, stability and accessibility. This justifies the generation and dissemination of Korean technologies aimed at increasing rice production. The objective of this study is to assess the impact of the project on small hold farmers’ food security. The treatment effect method was used with the double difference approach following a baseline study in 2015 on a random sample of 1200 households in the Senegal River Valley. The study shows that the project led to a 22% increase in yields and an 18% increase in rice production, with an impact of 19% on income from rice cultivation, which accounts for 62% of total household income. This produced an impact of 236,087 CFA francs or an increase of 34% on average household income with a very significant statistical difference. This impact is 22,256 CFA francs per capita and 31,371 FCFA per equivalent adult (UEA). The impact on food consumption is 293 kcal/UEA per day and induces a reduction of 10% in households at risk. The impact on income has also increased the means of managing health needs. As a result, the producers have benefited greatly from the productivity gains in rice production induced by technologies. This highlights the crucial role of bringing innovations into rice production. The policy decision makers must develop strategic options for the widespread dissemination of these innovations in order to improve income and reduce food insecurity in rural areas.

Published: December 2023

The plan of providing 40-day-paternity leave is just waiting for discussion and ratification into law. On the one hand, the RUU KIA (Maternal and Child Health bill (MCH bill) can guarantee the fulfillment of some of mothers’ and children’s rights if they are accompanied by the head of the family during the birth process. However, on the other hand, the status of the husbands who also work for government or private companies requires them to complete the workload, and 40 days of leave is considered a long time for workers to leave. This study aims at examining the implementation of the concept of hifẓ al-nasl on the ethical politics of government concerning the birth of the RUU KIA. This writing is library research by which the data sources were obtained from documents, books, journals, and news on social media. The data were analyzed by using a qualitative approach. The conclusion of this study showed that the philosophical basis of the 40-day-paternity leave policy is a crystallization of the concept of protecting wives and prospective babies and in accordance with the objectives of Islamic law in providing protection for offspring (hifẓ al-nasl). This government’s ethical politics is also an implementation of the rule of taṣarruful imām `alā ra'iyat manūṭun bil maṣlaḥah (policies taken by the government must be ensured to gain benefit for the people).

Authors: Figueiredo Daniela Maimoni de , Salomão Fernando Ximenes de Tavares
Published: December 2023

A morfopedologia é uma abordagem metodológica que integra aspectos da pedologia, litologia e relevo, relacionáveis às dimensões temporal e antrópica. Os objetivos deste artigo são: i) apresentar uma síntese da construção dos conceitos e métodos sobre morfopedologia, por meio de revisão bibliográfica; ii) identificar e analisar as publicações sobre morfopedologia no Brasil com auxílio de bibliometria; iii) testar a metodologia mais recente em uma microbacia rural-urbana. No exemplo apresentado, o roteiro metodológico permitiu identificar cinco compartimentos morfopedológicos homogêneos, de extremamente suscetíveis à não suscetíveis à erosão, e como os resultados vêm subsidiando o planejamento ambiental. A bibliometria foi realizada em três portais de busca, considerando o tipo da publicação, ano, autores, instituições, Estados e tipo de abordagem dada à morfopedologia. No levantamento bibliométrico, foram encontradas 95 publicações, de 2003 a 2022, a maioria nos estados de Mato Grosso, Goiás e Paraná, em formato de artigo; 47,4% abordaram a morfopedologia como ferramenta em diagnósticos para planejamento ambiental. Constatou-se que existem lacunas em estudos morfopedológicos no país, principalmente em áreas agrícolas e urbanas, tendo como unidade as microbacias, que podem se constituir em importantes ferramentas de diagnóstico e subsídio ao planejamento de uso do solo e de recuperação de áreas degradadas.
Diferentes posturas ao segurar o violão: um olhar sobre a pedagogia do violão de concerto do século XIX até a atualidade
Authors: Braga Cristiano , Araújo Fernando
Published: December 2023

O presente trabalho propõe analisar e discutir questões posturais relacionadas ao modo como se segura o violão de concerto, do surgimento do violão de seis cordas simples aos dias de hoje. A partir de um levantamento histórico e crítico das abordagens pedagógicas relativas a esse tema, entendemos que o assunto ainda é abordado de forma pouco consistente pela pedagogia do violão. Mostramos como, no século XIX, período no qual a pedagogia do violão de seis cordas simples começou a se desenvolver, não existia consenso sobre a melhor forma de segurar o instrumento. Já no século XX, após o sucesso do movimento violonístico conhecido como “Escola de Tárrega”, apoiar o violão na perna esquerda, com o auxílio de um apoio de pé, tornou-se convenção. Em decorrência de problemas musculoesqueléticos advindos de inadequações posturais, as convenções relativas a essa postura diluíram-se, abrindo espaço para outras possibilidades. Sob essa ótica, diversos apoios ergonômicos foram e ainda são fabricados na busca por uma prática instrumental mais saudável.

Physics learning cannot be separated from studying abstract concepts and practical activities to help students understand concepts in real terms. In the learning process, practical tools are needed to made easily and used in learning. The limited equipment in the laboratory is one of the obstacles to the lack of optimal learning activities, especially in practical activities. Therefore, teachers are required to be more creative and innovative in utilizing the tools around them so they can be used as practical tools. Dynamic electricity is also seen as an abstract concept requiring a practicum so that students can understand the concept real and meaningfully. Then, the other obstacle is scientific argumentation skills that still need to be better trained or not contained in the learning materials. It makes students' skills in scientific argumentation still lacking. The solution is: Synergize with the Physics Senior High School Teachers in Sidoarjo. They are trained through training to make physics practicum tools. Thus, the training participants can make these practical tools, can arrange student worksheets according to these tools and based on scientific argumentation skills. They can apply them in learning at their school. The result of this training is that the response of the Physics Senior high school teachers to the materials and demonstrations is very enthusiastic and interesting. This is evidenced by the average response questionnaire results of 3.44 with the maximum value of the questionnaire being 4. The maximum value obtained based on the response questionnaire is 3.66 and the lowest is 3.28.

Kemudian, aplikasi seperti Web APK Builder yang belum banyak diketahui oleh mitra dapat digunakan untuk memaksimalkan media pembelajaran ini untuk dikonversi menjadi media pembelajaran mobile berbasis Android. Berdasarkan permasalahan tersebut, penulis memberikan solusi melalui suatu pelatihan yang dapat mengoptimalkan penggunaan aplikasi tersebut. Tujuan pengabdian ini adalah untuk menghasilkan sebuah buku Teknologi Tepat Guna (TTG) yang dapat dijadikan solusi dan menunjang pelaksanaan kegiatan pelatihan ini. Kegiatan Pengabdian kepada Masyarakat (PkM) ini menggunakan metode pelatihan. Kegiatan pelatihan dilakukan melalui tiga tahapan, yaitu perencanaan, pelaksanaan dan evaluasi di SMAN 1 Bintan Timur mulai bulan April sampai dengan November 2022. Kegiatan ini diikuti oleh sebanyak 30 orang guru. Berdasarkan hasil kegiatan yang telah dilaksanakan dapat disimpulkan bahwa kegiatan ini mampu memberikan keterampilan yang sangat baik kepada peserta. Kemudian, peserta memberikan respon baik dan bisa merasakan manfaatnya. Penggunaan buku TTG yang dihasilkan telah memudahkan para peserta untuk menghasilkan media pembelajaran inovatif berbasis Android.Only a few school teachers know about the Articulate Storyline application, including teachers in partner schools. Then, the teacher can use applications such as the Web APK Builder that partners need to be more widely known to maximize this learning media by limiting it to Android-based mobile learning media. Based on these problems, the authors provide a solution through training that can optimize the use of the application. This service aims to produce an appropriate technology book (TTG) that can be used as a solution and support the implementation of this training activity. This PKM activity uses the training method. The training activities are carried out through three stages: planning, implementing and evaluating at SMAN 1 East Bintan from April to November 2022. Thirty teachers attended this activity. Based on the results of the activities that have been carried out, this activity provided excellent skills to the participants. Then, participants gave good responses and could feel the benefits. The use of appropriate technology books produced has made it easier for participants to create innovative Android-based learning media.

Berdasarkan informasi yang diperoleh dari masyarakat Apokayan, tingkat kemauan siswa untuk melanjutkan pendidikan masih kurang, mulai dari tingkat SD, SMP, dan SMA, sampai ke tingkat perguruan tinggi. Hal tersebut dikarenakan faktor ekonomi, dan kurangnya dorongan dari orang tua. Kegiatan sosialisasi ini dilakukan pada tanggal 18-29 Februari 2020. Sasaran dalam pengabdian ini adalah siswa yang saat ini berada di tingkat SD, SMP, dan SMA di daerah Apokayan. Tujuan Pengabdian kepada Masyarakat (PkM) ini adalah untuk mensosialisasikan pentingnya pendidikan khususnya bagi masyarakat yang memiliki anak yang masih usia sekolah. Selain itu,  disosialisasikan pentingnya pendidikan bagi mereka yang sudah lulus SMA agar dapat melanjutkan pendidikan di perguruan tinggi. Kami melakukan sosialisasi dengan cara kunjungan langsung dengan menjelaskan akan pentingnya melanjutkan pendidikan, baik ke rumah warga maupun ke sekolah. Hasil dari kegiatan ini selalu kami pantau dari tahun ke tahun, hubungan kami dengan tokoh masyarakat, guru, kepala sekolah, orang tua siswa, dan mahasiswa dari Apokayan tetap kami jalin dengan baik, sehingga informasi mengenai pendidikan di Apokayan selalu terpantau oleh tim PkM. Melalui sosialisasi ini  terlihat adanya anak yang tidak mau lanjut sekolah/kuliah akhirnya berkeinginan untuk tetap sekolah/kuliah.Based on information obtained from the Apokayan community, the level of willingness of students to continue their education is still low, starting from the elementary, junior high and high school levels down to the tertiary level. This is due to economic factors and a lack of encouragement from parents. This socialization activity was carried out on 18-29 February 2020. The targets for this service were students currently at the elementary, middle and high school levels in the Apokayan area. The purpose of this Community Service (PkM) is to socialize the importance of education, especially for people who have children who are still of school age. In addition, the importance of education was socialized for those who had graduated from high school so they could continue their education in tertiary institutions. We conducted socialization through direct visits explaining the importance of continuing education, both to residents' homes and schools. We always monitor the results of these activities from year to year; we maintain good relations with community leaders, teachers, principals, parents, and students from Apokayan, so the PkM team always monitors that information about education in Apokayan. Through this socialization, it can be seen that there are children who do not want to go to school/college and finally want to stay in school/college.
