Authors: Rosli Abdul-Hadi , Nordin Mohd-Hudzaifah , Embong Zunaina , Wan Hitam Wan-Hazabbah
Published: April 2022

A white-eyed blowout fracture is an orbital floor fracture associated with restriction of ocular motility (suggestive of orbital content entrapment) but with minimal or absence of signs of soft tissue trauma. It can lead to significant patient morbidity. This case involved an 8-year-old boy with a white-eyed blowout fracture following facial trauma. He presented with binocular diplopia and a history of recurrent episodes of vomiting after the trauma and was referred to our centre for a suspected head injury. Visual acuity in both eyes was 6/9. Examination showed minimal left periorbital haematoma with left eye motility restriction on superior and medial gaze associated with pain. CT scan of the orbit showed left orbital floor fracture with minimal soft tissue entrapment. He underwent urgent open exploration of the left orbit and release of orbital tissue entrapment. Post-operatively, the left eye motility restriction improved significantly with resolution of diplopia. In conclusion, a high index of suspicion is crucial in diagnosing paediatric white-eyed blowout fractures due to lack of external ocular signs.
Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus with HbJ trait: A management conundrum
Authors: Wan Yaacob Wan Natrah , Yaacob Lili Husniati , Draman Nani
Published: April 2022

Optimal glycaemic control is crucial in patients with diabetes mellitus (DM) to avoid episodes of hypoglycaemia and both micro- and macrovascular complications. Diabetic control relies mainly on the evaluation of haemoglobin A1c (HbA1c), which is unfortunately unreliable in patients with haemoglobinopathies. This case report describes a patient with type 2 DM and haemoglobin J (HbJ) trait, which resulted in erratic HbA1c values throughout her follow-up. Other approaches, such as self-blood glucose monitoring, are needed to evaluate glycaemic control instead of relying on HbA1c alone to guide the management DM in these patients.

Published: April 2022

Introduction: The Family Doctor Concept (FDC) programme was introduced to public primary care clinics in late 2013 as part of the reform agenda in the primary healthcare delivery system. The study aimed to develop a validated and reliable instrument to evaluate the FDC implementation fidelity in primary care clinics.
Methods: The instrument, which adapted the concept of patient-centred care (PCC), resulted from a series of expert discussions, a literature search, an FDC guideline, and a review of meeting minutes. A 2-step process was conducted with experts to achieve content and face validity. Consequently, the instrument was piloted in 5 public primary care clinics in Selangor involving 8 trained raters. Inter-rater reliability was estimated using intraclass correlation (ICC), while internal consistency was measured using Kuder–Richardson Formula 20 (KR-20).
Results: The final instrument comprises 3 sections (instructions, clinic’s characteristics and assessment items), with Section 3 containing 15 items divided into four components – population registration, formation of a primary care team, integrated treatment, and monitoring and evaluation. The ICC for total score was excellent, 0.981, while the ICCs of the individual component scores were good to excellent (population registration: 0.937, formation of primary care team: 0.742, integrated treatment: 0.996, and monitoring and evaluation: 0.996). The value of KR-20 was 0.615, which was considered adequate.
Conclusion: The instrument developed was found to be valid in terms of face and content validity and reliable in measuring the fidelity of FDC implementation with excellent inter-rater reliability.

Published: April 2022

Purpose: This study aimed to determine the prevalence and status of refractive error among Chinese primary school children in a rural area in Pahang.
Methods: This investigation entailed a cross-sectional retrospective study design involving case file analyses. The study site was a Chinese medium primary school in a rural locality within Bentong district. A total of 82 school children met the B40 classification and selection criteria; therefore, universal sampling was done. Analyses were done according to age group: Level 1 included ages 7 to 9 years, while Level 2 comprised 10- to 12-year-olds.
Results: The mean age of the 82 Chinese school children was 9.72±1.5 years; the percentage of refractive errors found was 80.48%. A total of 53 (64.63%) children had myopia. Two-way ANOVA showed a significant difference (P=0.038) in the refractive error between age groups Level 1 and 2, but no significant difference (P=0.947) was observed in refractive error between genders. The chi-square test and Fisher’s exact test showed no significant association between the type of refractive error with gender (P>0.05) and age group (P=0.319).
Conclusion: Myopia was the most common type of refractive error among Chinese school children in a rural area in Pahang. Refractive error severity was influenced by age group but not by gender. Types of refractive error were not associated with age group and gender. Hence, it is recommended that Chinese school children in rural areas seek an annual vision screening or eye test.
On the Robustness of the Surface Response to Austral Stratospheric Polar Vortex Extremes
Authors: Bergner Nora , Friedel Marina , Domeisen Daniela I. V. , Waugh Darryn , Chiodo Gabriel
Published: April 2022

Abstract. Extreme events in the stratospheric polar vortex can lead to changes in the tropospheric circulation and impact the surface climate on a wide range of timescales. The austral stratospheric vortex shows its largest variability in spring, and a weakened polar vortex is associated with changes in the spring to summer surface climate, including hot and dry extremes in Australia. However, the robustness and extent of the connection between polar vortex strength and surface climate on interannual timescales remain unclear. We assess this relationship by using reanalysis data and simulations from two independent chemistry-climate models (CCMs), building on previous work that is mainly based on observations. The CCMs show a similar downward propagation of polar vortex anomalies as the reanalysis data and weak (strong) polar vortex anomalies are on average followed by a negative (positive) tropospheric Southern Annular Mode (SAM) in spring to summer. The signature in the surface climate following polar vortex weakenings is characterized by high surface pressure and warm temperature anomalies over Antarctica, the region where surface signals are most robust across all model and observational datasets. However, the tropospheric SAM response in the models is inconsistent with observations. In one CCM, the SAM is more negative compared to the reanalysis after weak polar vortex events, whereas in the other CCM, it is less negative. In addition, both models do not reproduce all the regional changes in midlatitudes, such as the warm and dry anomalies over Australia. We find that these inconsistencies are linked to model biases in the basic state, such as the latitude of the eddy-driven jet and the persistence of the tropospheric SAM. Furthermore, bootstrapping of the data reveals sizable uncertainty in the magnitude of the surface signals in both models and observations due to internal variability. Our results demonstrate that anomalies of the austral stratospheric vortex have significant impacts on surface climate, although the ability of models in capturing regional effects across the Southern Hemisphere is limited by biases in their representation of the tropospheric circulation.

Published: April 2022

Abstract. We describe the characteristics and performances of our newly built broadband cavity-enhanced absorption spectrometer for measurements of nitrate radical (NO3), nitrogen dioxide (NO2), and water vapor (H2O). A customized vibration-resistance cavity layout incorporated with N2 purging on high-reflection mirror surfaces was implemented with a red light-emitting diode (LED) as a light source. In general, this system achieved over 40 km (up to 101.5 km) of effective light path length at 662 nm from a 0.52 m long cavity. For the accurate NO3 measurement, the measured absorption spectrum of H2O was used for simultaneous concentration retrievals with the other species, instead of being treated as interferences to be removed or corrected prior to NO3 detection. Synthesized N2O5 crystals under atmospheric pressure were used for performance tests of linear response and transmission efficiency. From the standard injection experiments of NO3, NO2, and H2O, high linearities were observed (R2 ≥0.9918). The total NO3 transmission efficiency through the system was determined to be 81.2 % (±2.9, 1σ) within the residence time of 2.59 seconds. The precisions (1σ) of NO3, NO2, and H2O in 1 Hz measurement from a single pixel on the CCD were 1.41 pptv, 6.92 ppbv, and 35.0 ppmv with uncertainties of 10.8, 5.2, and ≥20.5 %, respectively, mainly from the errors in literature absorption cross-sections. The instrument was successfully deployed aboard the Korean icebreaker R/V Araon for an expedition conducted in remote marine boundary layer in the Arctic Ocean during the summer of 2021.
Intercomparison of Four Tropical Cyclones Detection Algorithms on ERA5
Authors: Bourdin Stella , Fromang Sébastien , Dulac William , Cattiaux Julien , Chauvin Fabrice
Published: April 2022

Abstract. The assessment of Tropical Cyclones (TC) statistics requires the direct, objective, and automatic detection and tracking of TCs in reanalyses and model simulations. Research groups have independently developed numerous algorithms during recent decades in order to answer that need. Today, there is a large number of algorithms, often referred to as trackers, that aim to detect the positions of tropical cyclones in gridded datasets. This paper compares four trackers with very different formulations in detail. We assess their performances by tracking tropical cyclones in the ERA5 reanalysis and by comparing the outcome to the IBTrACS observations database. The first section of the paper finds typical detection rates of the trackers ranging from 75 to 85 %. At the same time, false alarm rates (FAR) greatly vary across the four trackers and can sometimes exceed the number of detected genuine cyclones. Based on the finding that many of these false alarms are extra-tropical cyclones, we adapt two existing filtering methods common to all trackers. Both post-treatments dramatically impact FARs, which range from 9 to 36 % in our final catalogs of tropical cyclones tracks. We then show that different traditional metrics can be very sensitive to the particular choice of the tracker, which is particularly true for the TC frequencies and their durations. By contrast, all trackers identify a robust negative bias in ERA5 tropical cyclones intensities, a result already noted in previous studies. We conclude by advising against using as many trackers as possible and averaging the results. A more efficient approach would involve selecting one or a few trackers with well-known properties.
An improved, time-efficient approach to extract accurate distance restraints for NMR2 structure calculation
Authors: Pokharna Aditya , Torres Felix , Kadavath Harindranath , Orts Julien , Riek Roland
Published: April 2022

Abstract. Exact Nuclear Overhauser Enhancement (eNOE) yields highly accurate, ensemble averaged 1H-1H distance restraints with an accuracy of up to 0.1 Å for the multi-state structure determination of proteins as well as for Nuclear Magnetic Resonance Molecular Replacement (NMR2) to determine the structure of the protein-ligand interaction site in a time-efficient manner. However, in the latter application, the acquired eNOEs lack the obtainable precision of 0.1 Å because of the asymmetrical nature of the filtered NOESY experiment used in NMR2. This error is further propagated to the eNOE equations used to fit for and extract the distance restraints. In this work, a new analysis method is proposed to obtain inter-molecular distance restraints from the filtered NOESY spectrum more accurately and intuitively by dividing the NOE cross-peak by the corresponding diagonal peak of the ligand. The method termed diagonal-normalized eNOEs was tested on the data acquired by Torres et al. (Torres et al., 2020) on the complex of PIN1 and a small, weak-binding phenylimidazole fragment. The diagonal-normalised eNOE derived distance restraints NMR2 yielded the right orientation of the fragment in the binding pocket, and produced a structure that more closely resembles the benchmark X-ray structure (2XP6) (Potter et al., 2010) with an average heavy atom RMSD of 1.681 Å than the one produced with traditional NMR2 with an average heavy atom RMSD of 3.628 Å, attributed to the higher precision of the evaluated distance restraints.
Variation in bacterial composition, diversity, and activity across different subglacial basal ice types
Authors: Doyle Shawn M. , Christner Brent C.
Published: April 2022

Abstract. Glaciers and ice sheets possess layers of basal ice characterized by high amounts of entrained debris that can serve as sources of nutrients and organic matter, providing habitat for microorganisms adapted to the frozen conditions. Basal ice forms through various mechanisms and is classified based on its ice and debris content; however, little is known about variation in microbial composition, diversity, and activity across different basal ice types. We investigated these parameters in four different types of basal ice from a cold-based and temperate glacier and used a meta-analysis to compare our findings with microbiome studies from other frozen environments. We found basal ice environments harbor a diverse range of microbiomes whose composition and activity can vary significantly between basal ice types, even within adjacent facies from the same glacier. In some debris-rich basal ices, elevated ATP concentrations, isotopic gas signatures, and high ratios of amplified sequences for 16S rRNA relative to that for 16S rRNA genes implicated certain bacterial taxa (e.g., Paenisporosarcina, Desulfocapsa, Syntrophus, Desulfosporosinus) as being potentially active, with ice temperature appearing to be an important predictor for the diversity of taxa inferred to be active. Compared to those of other sympagic environments, these microbiomes often resembled those found in permafrost or perennial cave ice rather than other glacial ice environments. In contrast, debris-poor basal ices harbored microbiomes more like those found in oligotrophic englacial ice. Collectively, these results suggest that different basal ice types contain distinct microbiomes that are actively structured by the diagenesis of their habitat.

Published: April 2022

The study was undertaken with the objective of optimizing the level of tripe powder in the formulary of pet pasta. Two levels of tripe powder viz., 2.5 per cent (T1 ) and five per cent (T2 ) were added in the control formulation replacing the cereal flour mix. The samples were subjected to proximate analysis, palatability/acceptability assessment test and preference test. The moisture, dry matter, crude fiber and total ash contents did not vary significantly between the treatments. T2 had significantly (p<0.01) higher crude protein, crude fat and energy content and significantly (p<0.01) lower carbohydrate content among the samples. T2 had high palatability scores when compared to other samples. The intake ratio analysis showed that T2 had significantly (p<0.05) higher intake per cent than T1 and control (p<0.01) and was thus selected as the best formulation. T2 with 6.54±0.24 per cent moisture, 10.44±0.50per cent fat, 16.46±0.60per cent protein, 64.71±0.73 per cent carbohydrate and energy value 418.63±2.64 Kcal/100g could be categorised as dry type pet food based on NRC recommendations (2006).

Published: April 2022

Leptospirosis is anunderdiagnosed bacterial anthropozoonotic disease that is considered as a major public health concern in India. The present study was conducted to detect the presence of antibodies against different leptospiral serovars in slaughtered cattle in Thrissur. A total of 165 blood samples were collected from slaughtered cattle of two slaughterhouses viz., Meat Technology Unit (MTU), KVASU, Mannuthy (n=85) and Thrissur Municipal Slaughterhouse (TMS), Thrissur (n=80). The serum samples from the slaughtered cattle were subjected to Microscopic Agglutination Test (MAT). The overall occurrence of leptospirosis from both the slaughterhouses was 44.42 per cent. A seropositivity of 37.65 and 51.25 per cent in slaughtered cattle respectively were found by MAT from samples collected from MTU, Mannuthy and TMS, Thrissur. The predominant serovars detected in slaughtered cattle were Sejroe (28.76 per cent), Grippotyphosa (21.91 per cent) and Australis (15.06 per cent).The results revealed that the apparently healthy slaughtered cattle had been exposed to leptospirosis and could act as a source of infection to the slaughterhouse workers.

Anaemia and thrombocytopenia are the common clinical features of blood parasite infection in dogs. Blood parasites previously identified in dogs in Kerala were Babesia gibsoni, Babesia canis vogeli, Ehrlichia canis and Trypanosoma evansi. A two-year old female Labrador Retriever was brought to the University Veterinary Hospital, Mannuthy, Thrissur, with a complaint of anorexia for the past two weeks. A thorough clinical examination did not give any evidence of involvement of other body systems, except for a splenomegaly which was confirmed by radiography. The dog was negative for microfilaria and intestinal parasites. Haematological findings revealed moderate anaemia and thrombocytopenia. Anaemia was classified as non-regenerative based on reticulocyte count. Blood smear was positive for basophilic intra-erythrocytic inclusions suggestive of small babesia and basophilic inclusions in platelets suggestive of morula of Anaplasma spp. Species-specific PCR on whole blood genomic DNA-showed specific amplification for B. gibsoni and A. platys organisms and negative for B. canis vogeli, E. canis and T. evansi. The present study reports a case of non-regenerative anaemia due to B. gibsoni and A. platys co-infection in a dog and its successful therapeutic management. This is the second report of A. platys infection in dogs in Kerala, India.

The study included 55 cases of formalin-fixed and paraffin-embedded (FFPE) tissues of breast invasive ductal carcinoma. The following algorithm has been made for further discussion by using immunohistochemical examination: antibodies against hormonal receptors; HER2; E-cadherin, Vimentin, Beta-catenin; Ki-67; Tumour buds were evaluated by using H&E stained slides and computer software Qupath (version 0.3.2). The results of the study show that estrogen expression is different in primary tumour mass and in tumour buds and its expression is diminished in the Luminal B molecular subtype respectively. Vimentin and Beta-catenin expression is showing similar changes, the quantity is much higher in tumour microclusters compared to the primary tumour and metastatic lymph nodes. It can demonstrate features of epithelial-mesenchymal transformation. Modifications in dynamics of proliferative activity are showing the lowest proliferative activity in tumour microclusters which can be discussed as the indirect manifestation of epithelial-mesenchymal transformation.

COVID-19, a disease caused by SARS-CoV-2, which is mostly known to cause upper respiratory tract symptoms is recently found to cause cutaneous manifestations in a considerable number of patients.The purpose of the study was to study the features of dermatological manifestations of COVID-19 in young South Asian adults.After the initial survey obtaining the contact details, personal interviews of 53 participants were conducted personally asking them questions about gender, age, the presence of the disease on SARS-CoV-2 in the anamnesis and nature of the course, the presence of nosocomial infection, the use of medications during supervision and the presence of dermatological lesions. Analysis of obtained data was performed to identify the correlation between these factors/incidences of SARS-CoV-2 and different skin manifestation.The results displayed that the most frequent cutaneous manifestation among our 53 participants is maculopapular rash 27% (n=14). This is thought to develop because of high viral exanthem or due to possible drug related interactions through treatment. Others had skin manifestation such as generalized pruritus, petechiae on the feet and vesiculopapular rash. Majority of these rashes were generalized. Interestingly, a young female participant who had tested positive for COVID-19 in August 2020 has been experiencing dermographism since February 2021.Our research data show that coloured populations are less likely to present with cutaneous manifestations possibly because of the melanocyte content in the skin, and its relation to ACE receptor and that cutaneous manifestations can be detected in a specific age group, along with the respiratory problems that arise from infection with this strain and should be considered as a symptom.

Published: April 2022

Obesity is a global health problem and considered an emerging epidemic of the 21st century. Adipose tissue is an active paracrine gland and secretes many hormone-like substances, including leptin, adiponectin, and resistin, which significantly affect energy balance and metabolism. The aim of our study was to identify possible age-related changes of adiponectin and ghrelin and the risk factors affecting them in a healthy apparently population. The study examined 150 healthy individuals (ages 18-90). Plasma concentrations of adiponectin and ghrelin were determined in each individual using ELISA kits. Based on the study outcomes, adiponectin and ghrelin circulatory levels are associated inversely with weight only in men. Furthermore, age-related changes are also seen in men, whereas in women no statistically reliable connections were detected. Thus, based on the results of the study, it is possible to standardize adiponectin and ghrelin concentrations by gender for each age group.

Im Rahmen der Bekämpfung von COVID-19 gelangen Apps zum Einsatz, mit denen z.B. Gastronomen die Kontaktdaten ihrer Gäste erfassen. In Deutschland ist derzeit das Handy-Programm „luca“ Gegenstand der öffentlichen Debatte. Es stellt sich die Frage, ob Strafverfolgungsbehörden so erhobene Daten einfordern dürfen und wie z.B. mit dem Quellenschutz für Medienschaffende, die sich mit Informanten in einem Restaurant treffen, umzugehen wäre. Jascha Schneider und Sandra Schmitt zweifeln, ob Art. 246 StPO als gesetzliche Grundlage ausreicht, um eine Beschaffung derart sensibler Daten zu legitimieren. Es bestehe Klärungs- und Regelungsbedarf. In Bezug auf den Quellenschutz sei von einem Beschlagnahmeverbot auszugehen, um das Redaktionsgeheimnis nicht auszuhebeln.

SLAPP-Klagen (strategic lawsuits against public participation), strategische Klagen gegen die öffentliche Teilnahme, richten sich gegen Medienschaffende, nichtstaatliche Organisationen und die Zivilgesellschaft. Häufig unbegründet und auf mutwilligen Forderungen beruhend, unterhöhlen sie die Medienfreiheit und damit die Beteiligung am Prozess der demokratischen Willensbildung. Auf europäischer Ebene sind deshalb Bestrebungen für eine Anti-SLAPP-Gesetzgebung im Gange. In Zivilsachen sollen etwa missbräuchliche Motive in einem möglichst frühen Verfahrensstadium geprüft werden und zur Abweisung der Klage führen. Bei Ehrverletzungsdelikten sollen SLAPP-Klagen gar keine Anwendung finden.

В мире существует ряд экономических проектов социальной экономики, основанных на принципах братства, солидарности, объединивших свободных и равных перед законом граждан, стирающих границы между экономическим и социальным аспектами жизни общества. Учитывая растущую урбанизацию, распад традиционных связей, распространение индивидуализма, доминирование материальных ценностей и атомизации общества, рассматриваемые в статье дополнительные денежные системы выступают в качестве инструмента, восстанавливающего социальные связи и объединяющие людей в социальные сети, чтобы противодействовать социальной изоляции, и, в целом, позволяющие выстраивать солидарное и горизонтальное общество. Это эффективный инструмент социальной инженерии. Концепция солидарности занимала важное место и в истории русской мысли. Однако, в современной России, на наш взгляд, практики солидарной и социальной экономики (ССЭ) могли бы стать действенным подспорьем в таких сферах, как экологически сбалансированное развитие, оживление экономической деятельности и оздоровление социального климата в депрессивных регионах, а также в целом драйвером развития социального капитала. В данной статье рассмотрен аспект финансовых инноваций развития ССЭ – это увеличение доступных населению средств обмена внутри отдельного сообщества. В частности таких, как: банки времени (time banks), системы местного торгового обмена (LETS). Исследовательская гипотеза состоит в том, чтобы проанализировать, как устойчивость территории может быть повышена при использовании различных денежных систем, которые выступают в качестве инструмента, восстанавливающего социальные связи и объединяющего людей. Исследовательский подход основан на сравнении первого поколения дополнительных валют, устройства второго поколения банков времени и третьего поколения взаимодополняющих валют, что, таким образом, способствует пониманию роста сферы социальной и солидарной экономики в настоящее время. В результате исследования было доказано, что дополнительные валюты четвертого поколения не только формируют социальные связи между людьми, но и используются в рамках реализации социальных и экологических программ. Отметим, что результаты исследования открывают новое теоретическое направление в исследовании проблем устойчивого развития.

Cerebrovascular diseases occupy a major place among socially significant diseases due to high morbidity, mortality and severe disability. Bulgaria is one of the first places in the world in these indicators. Timely and properly applied, physiotherapy has a positive effect on their independence and self-care. Modern physiotherapy is based on the theory of neuroplasticity - the ability of the brain to change adaptively with significant changes in the body and the environment. Mirror therapy is a contemporary approach to restoring the function of the upper limb after a stroke. It is based on the principle of stimulating movement in the affected limb through visual signals coming from the other side of the body. This aroused the interest to develop and implement a program and methodology of its application, including mirror therapy. The aim of the study was: To develop and implement a physiotherapy program and methodology of its application, including mirror therapy, to improve motor function of the upper limb in the recovery of patients with ischemic brain disease and to study the effect of its application. The present study was conducted in the Department of Physical and Rehabilitation Medicine of the University Hospital "Medica-Russe" in the period from January 2019 to June 2020. Of the patients diagnosed with ischemic stroke, were formed two groups - control and experimental. Ten patients were included in each group. The presented own results make it possible to analyze the effect of the applied complex physiotherapy program and mirror therapy in the late recovery period.
Did COVID-19 induce a reallocation wave?
Authors: Consolo Agostino , Petroulakis Filippos
Published: April 2022

Recent research has argued that the COVID-19 shock has also brought about a real- location shock. We examine the evidence for such an occurrence in the United States, taking a broad perspective. We first consider micro data from CPS and JOLTS; there is no noticeable uptick in occupation or sector switches, nor churn, either at the aggregate level or the cross-section, or when broken down by firms’ size. We then examine whether mismatch unemployment has risen as a result of the pandemic; using an off-the-shelf multisector search and matching model, there is little evidence for an important role for mismatch in driving the elevated unemployment rate. Finally, we employ a novel Bayesian SVAR framework with sign restrictions to identify a reallocation shock; we find that it has played a relatively minor role in explaining labor market patterns in the pandemic, at least relative to its importance in earlier episodes.

Biowaiver Study On Three Generic Brands of Amlodipine 10mg Tablets Marketed In Sudan
Authors: Rowida Abbadi W.Mohammed  , Alnazeer I. Hamedelniel
Published: April 2022

AbstractAmlodipine besylate is a BCS class I drug used in treatment of hypertension and coronary artery diseases. In this study we determined the bioequivalence of four different brands of amlodipine besylate 10 mg tablets [Norvasc (brand A), Amilodipine (brand B), Amlozal (brand C) and Amlo(brand D)] using Biowaiver, first the pharmaceutical equivalence was evaluated for the four brands using the official standards according to USP pharmacopeia including diameter, hardness, thickness, disintegration, assay and dissolution, then the biowaiver study was done according to WHO guidelines and the dissolution profiles were studied using three different buffer solutions: pH 1.2, 4.5 and 6.8, then the results were evaluated according to specifications of class 1 drugs as Amlodipine is accepted class 1. The four brands complied with requirements of the official tests of diameter, hardness, thickness, disintegration, assay and dissolution. The three brands (B, C and D) were found to be bioequivalent to innovator (Brand A) as they qualify for WHO criteria for Biowaiver (both tests and reference were very rapidly dissolving in the three medias, i.e released more than 85% in 15 minutes), so similarity factor (f2) was not needed to be calculated to evaluate the interchangeability of the four brands.

AbstractDiclofenac sodium is found in different topical dosage forms which varied in their percuetanus absorption and hence in their therapeutic effect. In this study, three different formulations gel, emulgel and cream, containing 1% diclofenac sodium were developed in order to compare their permeation through rabbite skin using franz diffusion cells. They were subjected to various evalution tests such as physical appearance and rheological behavior. Menthol was added to the prepared formulations in a quanitity of about 1% , as permeation enhancer, and the enhancement in permeability was assessed. Carbopol gel, aqueous cream and emulgel showed acceptable results concerning color, spreadabilty, and homogenisity. The results showed that the cumulative amount of diclofenac sodium that permeated from the prepared formulations in this order gel > cream > emulgel. The addition of menthol to the formulation resulted in an increase in the amount of drug permeated. The study emphasized that optimization of the type of transdermal dosage forms and the addition of a peneteration enhancer can be resulted in an acceptable permeated amount of diclofenac sodium through the skin.
EMPOWERMENT OF VILLAGE EQUIPMENT THROUGH NONFORMAL EDUCATION APPROACH IN THE FRAMEWORK OF POVERTY REDUCTION IN THE VILLAGE
Authors: Wahyudi Sigit
Published: April 2022

This research aims to empirically describe the empowerment of village devices through a non-formal education approach to solve the problem of poverty in the village. Poverty is an old problem that never ends, where various efforts are made but poverty is still stuck. Poverty is not only in the village but also in the city. This problem needs to be understood based on empirical data or experience. The study focused on poverty in villages with different characteristics than the city's contemporaries.  Poverty in the village cannot be overcome personally by the poor people themselves, but rather the need for the involvement of others, especially village devices that do have duties and responsibilities to help the government at the village level, including helping poverty alleviation in the village. This paper was developed based on the results of qualitative research and literature studies (literary research) so that this paper is an integration of field findings and theories. The results showed that village empowerment is done through programmatic and continuous training to help poor people out of poverty independently. Empowerment of village devices is carried out gradually and continuously by developing training materials around strategies to solve the problem of poverty in the village. From implementing this training, village devices can compile and implement various poverty alleviation programs in the village efficiently and effectively
