Understanding Transdermal Patches: A Comprehensive Overview
Authors: - Kanitha Deepika S. , - Sowmiya A. , - Shivani K. , - Vigneshwaran R.
Published: July 2024

Pharmaceutical companies are currently placing significant emphasis on improving drug delivery methods. One innovative approach involves transdermal drug delivery, where a patch is applied to the skin to administer medication. Given that an adult's skin covers an area of 1.5 to 2 m2, it is the body's largest organ by mass. The first transdermal patch approved by the FDA for motion sickness was scopolamine in 1979, followed by nitroglycerine in 1981. These patches penetrate the skin, entering the bloodstream to deliver prescribed dosages. Currently, transdermal patches are used for various purposes, including delivering fentanyl for chronic pain, addressing motion sickness, treating cardiovascular issues, and aiding smoking cessation with nicotine patches. While conventional transdermal patches serve the dual purposes of medication release and storage, they face challenges such as limited release and dosage constraints. The field of transdermal drug delivery has evolved, incorporating technologies like smart patches with built-in sensors to monitor patient conditions and adjust drug delivery accordingly. In 2014, a team of scientists developed a smart patch sensor platform using microneedles for continuous and painless intradermal glucose monitoring in diabetics. Advancements also include personalized transdermal patches tailored to individual patient needs using 3D printing technology. Additionally, researchers are exploring the use of 3D-printed patches to aid in wound healing.

A Transformative Exploration into Environmental Realization in Light of Early Buddhism and Bṛahdāranyaka Upanishad
Authors: - Shubham Ojha
Published: July 2024

The realisation that there is "unsatisfactoriness" (dukkha) in the world and that it can be eradicated by following the Noble Eight-Fold Path is central to the Buddhist doctrine. Buddhism likewise holds that there is nothing solid about the world as we know it or the beings that inhabit it. On the contrary, dependent origination (Pratītyasamutpāda) is how existence manifests itself. Nothing is permanent; everything is subject to change. But the interdependence of all beings and their submission to the cosmic law of karma are inherent in this dependent life. A strong sense of compassion for all other living beings that are "trapped" in this cycle of dependent origination is a fundamental component of practicing the Eight-Fold path. In the Upaniṣadic perspective, we see that Bṛahdāraṇyaka Upaniṣad argues that one should meditate on oneself. This emphasizes that men may roll up the sky like a piece of leather, but there will be no end of sorrow unless man understands the luminous self within. There is homogeneity between human life on one hand and the rest of the universe on the other. The purpose of this research paper is to investigate how the Upanishadic and Buddhist worldview relates to the environmental problems that face modern society.

Published: July 2024

Models of seismic intensity level in the Shamkir water reservoir area employing ground motion equations and correlation relations are considered. Shamkir water reservoir area is located in the Jeyranchol tectonic sub-region of the Middle Kur depression. Nearly 2095 km2 is selected around the Shamkir water reservoir for seismic hazard assessment inves-tigation including regions of Shamkir, Tovuz, Ganja, Goygol, Samukh administrative dis-tricts. Geologically, the area is represented by Quaternary type of deposits. Shamkir and Yenikend water reservoirs are laid on Holocene sediments. In the research, the impact of the site effect, and the distance from the source to the the site are considered employing de¬terministic approach. A compatible GMPE (ground motion prediction equation) was se-lected to model the peak ground acceleration (PGA), one of the ground motion parame-ters in the bedrock of the studied region. Amplification factor was estimated, a coefficient that derives PGA on the ground from the PGA in the bedrock characterizing the site ef-fect. For the investigation, local-, near-, far- and remote-field scenario earthquakes were targeted. As the local-field, March 24th, 2023 Shamkir M4.1 earthquake was targeted. As the near-field target, November 29th, 2023 Mingachevir M4.5, as the far-field June 25th, 2023 Shaki M3.0 and as the remote-field, January 23rd, 2021 Nakhchivan, Shahbuz M4.2 earthquakes were selected. The study area was divided into 5 km * 5 km grids in order to estimate the parameters encompassing d, the epicentral distance, R, the hypocentral dis-tance, amplification factor. Finally, the paper presents spatial distribution of hypocentral distance, amplification factor, PGA in the bedrock and on the ground and intensity on the MSK-64 scale. The estimation of the epicentral distance for each target earthquake and gridding process of the study area were done by utilizing ArcGIS 10.7 software. Ground PGA varies between 99-439 gals for the studied area while the bedrock PGA varies 183-399 gals. The seismic intensity level for the investigated area is characterized as VIII on MSK-64 scale.

Published: July 2024

This study focuses on crude oil rheology connected to production, one of the areas where rheology is significant in the oil and gas sector. An overview of the wide range of rheolog-ical behavior observed in petroleum fluids, together with the related investigative ap-proaches, is provided in this work. Building a rheological model for heavy oils is the main goal of this work, which will include free settling of particles, structure development by particles present in the volume, and oil filtration through anisotropic porous media. In ac-cordance with a range of experimental data, rheological models of viscous-plastic heavy oils are examined and produced. It is possible to generalize many of the current models by proposing new rheological models for viscous-plastic heavy oils. The conditions for the creation of disordered structures in the bulk of the oil flow are observed to determine the diversity of rheological models for heavy oils. An effective viscosity of oil, pressure gradi-ent, shear stress, and several other parameters are taken into consideration in a nonline-ar equation for filtering in porous medium for heavy oils. An analytical solution that matches with the experimental data is suggested for this equation.
Keywords: heavy oils, effective viscosity, structure formation, asphaltenes, rheological models, processing, settling.

Published: July 2024

The article discusses the issues of studying the patterns of pyrolysis and gasification of fuel oil in a high-temperature solar furnace in the temperature range of 500÷1000°C, with the aim of obtaining a combustible gas mixture consisting of H2+CO+CH4. In this case, a parabolic concentrator with a diameter of 1.5 m is used as a solar furnace, and a thermochemical reactor with a cylindrical configuration, with a diameter of 10-15 cm and a length of 30 cm, made of stainless steel, is used as a gas generator. The pyrolysis process is carried out without access to oxygen, and gasification is carried out in the presence of water vapor as an oxidizing agent. It has been determined that during the gasification process, up to 84% of the volume of fuel oil is converted into flammable gas mixtures consisting of the above components. The paper discusses some kinetic and thermodynamic aspects of the thermochemical conversion of fuel oil using solar energy. As a result of experiments, it was found that the minimum temperature for gasification is 6000C, and the optimal temperature of the gasification process is 9000C. It has been determined that during the pyrolysis of fuel oil, as the temperature increases from 500 to 8000C, the share of H2 and CH4 increases, in the temperature range from 500 to 7000C, the share of C2H4 also increases, and with a further increase in temperature to 8000C, it decreases. The share of the remaining components (C2H6, C3H6, C3H8, C4H8 and CO) decreases as the temperature increases. During gasification, the proportion of H2 increases as the temperature rises to 8000C, and then falls. The amount of CH4 increases up to a temperature of 8000C, and then increases. The proportion of C2H4 increases up to a temperature of 7000C and then stabilizes. The proportion of C2H6, C3H6, C3H8 decreases as the temperature increases, and CO increases. During gasification, C4H8 does not occur at all.

Confidence and assertiveness are two essential components of interpersonal communication that every school-going child ought to tap into in order to thrive and succeed in the school environment as well as contribute to its well-being. Teacher education institutions have the obligation to cultivate confidence and assertiveness in their learners such that they are empowered enough to be able to establish lasting healthy interpersonal relationships in schools. This study was conducted at Makerere University, College of Education and External Studies, Department of Humanities and Language Education, in the English Language and Literature in English section. The study focused on the English language teacher trainers (ELTT) and Preservice English language teachers (PELT) as the unit of analysis. The main objective was to establish the pedagogies ELTT used to cultivate confidence and assertiveness in the PELT. The study was qualitatively conducted and an in-depth interview guide, focus group discussion guide and document analysis guide were the instruments used to collect data. The results revealed that confidence and assertiveness are not catered for in the English language Teaching (ELT) curriculum, but the teacher trainers cultivated confidence and assertiveness extemporaneously as situations arose during lecturer-learner interactions.  The study recommends that confidence and assertiveness should be included in the ELT curriculum, the number of PELT admitted and a policy on mark allocation be tabled so that lecture attendance, participation and research work take the greatest percentage of the marks in order to neutralise the grade-centric mindset of the learners and encourage lecture attendance

In recent years, pedagogy has repeatedly raised the problem of computer literacy of students whose training profile is not related to mathematics, physics, and technology. In this case, there is a strong opinion that some basics of computer literacy should still be given to humanities students, and even more so to biologists and ecologists. Our position is based on the fact that computer literacy in biologists and ecologists should be based on real (applied) tasks. In this regard, we introduce elements of mathematical modeling, as sections of systems ecology, into the training of ecologists. In particular, the basic models of Malthus, Lotka-Volterra, epidemic theory, etc. are considered in the form of computer models. Ecology students (bachelors, masters, graduate students) work on computers to model and predict the dynamics of population explosion, single-species model with feedback, two-species model, etc. Problems of optimal implementation of anti-epizootic measures are solved. Students study effective methods of population management on the computer. At the same time, they learn the basics of Basic programming to realize dynamic population models. As a result, future ecologists become computer literate.

The article presents the interim results of a study carried out as part of a project under the Student Startup program supported by the Foundation for Assistance to Small Innovative Enterprises. The main goal of this project is to develop and test the technology of designing individual trajectory of self-development on the example of revealing the entrepreneurial potential of the subject. The constructed model of diagnostics and development of entrepreneurial abilities is based on the methodology of I. Adizes who considers four styles or types of management (Producer, Administrator, Entrepreneur or Idea Generator, and Integrator) the totality of which ensures the successful functioning of the organization. Combining all four roles within one person is impossible since they often conflict while implementing specific tasks but the combination of individual functions allows one to succeed in various activities. The integral type PaEi is designated by the author of the analyzed typology as Entrepreneur. Implemented theoretical study resulted at describing the characteristics of that type and determination of the strengths and weaknesses of the associated types of Idea Generator (E) and Producer (P). Practical recommendations for compensating for deficit psychological properties are presented, online platforms and distance courses are listed, and studying them will allow students to reveal their entrepreneurial potential.

Information, communication and digital technologies are increasingly influencing all spheres of life in human society, including the education system. The relevance of the research topic is emphasized by the update of the Federal State Educational Standard for general education and the tasks outlined by the President of Russia in his annual message to the Federal Assembly. An important role in the implementation of these provisions is played by the teacher, whose professional development, his practice-oriented activities during the period of a year-long internship at school based on the development of functional literacy contributes to the high-quality training of a specialist. When restructuring the educational process from a face-to-face to an online format based on the use of the capabilities of the most common Internet services and information and digital technologies, the authors introduced a set of tasks for a year-long practical training and course design. The successful testing of the methodology proposed by the authors was the project of the winning student of the “Pedagogical Debut 2024” competition, based on the practice-oriented aspect of the formation of functional literacy of school students through interdisciplinary synthesis, the use of elements of design and research activity in the study of bony fish (morphological, anatomical, biological features of the ichtheofauna Volga). The most effective seems to be the use of both traditional and new forms and means of teaching biology (electronic didactic material, media resources, virtual excursions, computer workshops).

Published: July 2024

In the context of the growing need for distance education and the use of digital technologies for advanced training, the task arises of developing high-quality educational content using active methods and techniques of teaching students. The purpose of the article is to identify an algorithm for creating an online course based on professional collaboration, to determine its effectiveness in the process of teachers’ training. The article presents many years of experience in designing an online course together with students on the issues of inclusive education, including determining their request, arranging content and methodological materials, cases, multimedia content, practical tasks, control and evaluation materials. The applied methodological technique reflects the subject-subject approach in education, activates and motivates participants in the pedagogical process to jointly search and critically analyze available information resources and practical experience, reflects the peculiarities of teachers’ training, where teachers are presented as adult subjects of education, characterized by the specifics of professional information consumption and the development of competencies. The main principle is a departure from the presentation of "ready-made" information, joint creation, cyclical filling of the course content, discussion, reflective assessment. Each new group of trained teachers studies the achievements of previous participants, elaborates, introduces new content, so the course is constantly being completed, updated, and relevant. This experience may be of interest to teachers who are just learning information technology, while experiencing difficulties in working through online learning.
