Published: October 2021

An improved stability-indicating RP-HPLC method was developed for the estimation of troxipide in bulk and tablet dosage forms. Chromatographic separation of troxipide from its degradation products was achieved on Agilent Zorbax SB-CN (150 × 4.6 mm, 3.5 μm) using sodium phosphate buffer (pH was adjusted to 4.0 ±0.05) and acetonitrile in the ratio of 40:60 V/V, at a flow rate of 0.8 mL/min. This system was found to give compact peak for troxipide at 2.1±0.2 min. The detection was monitored at 260 nm. The linear regression data for the calibration plots showed good relationship with r2 = 0.99 ± 0.001. The method was validated for precision, linearity, accuracy and robustness according to International Conference on Harmonization (ICH) guidelines. The percentage RSD was found to be less than two, indicating high degree of accuracy and precision of the proposed RP-HPLC method. The drug was subjected to stress degradation studies under acidic, basic, oxidative and thermal conditions. The degradation studies reveal that purity angle was less than the purity threshold, so the peak was said to be pure. It means that products resulting from stress studies did not interfere with the detection of troxipide and the assay can thus be considered as stability-indicating. Due to its simplicity, rapidness, high precision and accuracy, the proposed HPLC method may be used for determining troxipide in bulk and in pharmaceutical dosage forms.

Ratio derivative spectrophotometric method has been developed for the simultaneous determination of artemisinin and curcumin. The overlapping spectra of both drugs were resolved by making use of the first-derivative of the ratios of their direct absorption spectra. The derivative ratio absorbances of artemisinin and curcumin were measured at λmax 293.17 and λmax 457.0 nm, respectively, for their quantification. Artemisinin and curcumin were determined in the concentration range of 2-10 μg/mL and 1-5 μg/mL, respectively. The method was validated as per the ICH guidelines and accuracy, precision were found to be within acceptable limit. The limits of detection and quantitation were found to be 0.003299 and 0.009997 μg/mL, respectively for artemisinin and 0.006743 and 0.020434 μg/mL, respectively for curcumin. The proposed ratio first derivative spectrophotometric method is novel, rapid, simple, sensitive, accurate, precise and successfully applicable for simultaneous estimation of artemisinin and curcumin in parentral dosage form.

Present work was investigated for enhancement of solubility, bioavailability and anti-cancer activity of curcumin, a potent natural anticancer agent. Solid microdispersion of curcumin was prepared by melt granulation technique using Gelucire® 50/13 as a hydrophilic carrier followed by adsorbtion on Aeroperl® 300 Pharma. Compatibility among curcumin and excipients were checked using FT-IR, DSC and XRD analysis. The prepared microdispersion was characterized for percent drug content, entrapment efficiency, surface morphology, particle size, solubility, bio-availability and anticancer activity. DSC analysis study had shown complete encapsulation of raw curcumin which was further supported by XRD study showing flat peaks. A 32 full factorial response surface quadratic model demonstrated the positive effect upon change in the concentration of independent variables viz. Gelucire® 50/13 and Aeroperl® 300 Pharma on dependent variables particle size; % entrapment efficiency. TEM analysis confirmed the nano particulate dispersion upon dilution in distilled water with many fold increased in solubility. Maximum solubility was observed in acidic buffer pH 1.2. In vivo study revealed increased in bio-availability in Wistar rats as compared to raw curcumin by HPLC analysis. In MTT assay study, curcumin microdispersion has shown more prominent anti-cancer activity than raw curcumin on breast cancer cell line culture, MCF-7. From above study, it may be concluded that implementation of this innovative approach could be a better alternative for oral nanocurcumin delivery to improve the quality of life patients suffering from cancer.

Building up resilience in agricultural households has assumed a critical role in development strategies in recent years because, it is argued, the costs of strengthening resilience are less than the recurring expenditure for disaster assistance. Relying on large household datasets from 2010 and 2013, we explored the resilience of Malawian households to the exogenous shocks of flooding and currency devaluation during this period. We utilised two strategies for understanding resilience. The first, a classification framework pioneered by Briguglio and others, categorizes households into resilience and vulnerability spaces. The second approach employs econometric analysis to explore food security resilience. These two complementary analyses reveal that infrastructure, assets, education and non-agricultural employment opportunities contribute most to food security resilience

Climate variability threatens farmers’ livelihoods. Efforts to address climate stress recognise climate-smart agriculture (CSA) as a promising approach to minimising the damage caused by increasing weather variability. However, the effect of CSA practices on the resilience of maize farmers in the face of climate variability is not well understood. This study assesses the effects of CSA practices on the resilience of maize farmers. Using primary data from 250 randomly sampled maize farmers in Kenya, a resilie nce index was generated and then analyzed using a structural equation model. The results show that CSA practices increase the resilience of farmers, suggesting enhanced resilience to climate variability. CSA practices improve farmers’ food security and welfare, and their adoption should be promoted.

This paper assesses the differences in technical efficiency of, and the cassava production systems employed by, male-managed (MMF) and female-managed (FMF) cassava farms in the Fanteakwa District of Ghana. The study employs the translog stochastic meta-frontier model to analyse data obtained from 300 randomly selected smallholder cassava farmers and finds an average metafrontier technical efficiency (MTE) of 0.06 and 0.03 among MMF and FMF respectively. The technology gap ratios (TGR) are 0.25 and 0.04 for the MMF and FMF respectively. The results suggest that both MMFs and FMFs are technically inefficient. However, the production technology operated on MMFs is relatively superior to that operated on FMFs, as shown by the relatively higher TGR for MMFs. The results also reveal that proximity to markets, extension access, off-farm economic activities and formal education are the major contributors to the technical efficiency of the farmers

The Weighty Burden of Inequity Experienced by Patients in Larger Bodies: Fostering Equitable Treatment in the Naturopathic Community
Authors: Psihogios Athanasios , Baggio Adriana , N. Clouthier Sam
Published: October 2021

Individuals identified as overweight or obese (people in larger bodies) often endure poor health equity as a result of pervasive stigmatization and discrimination due to their weight, in both social and healthcare settings. Often referred to as 'weight bias', people in larger bodies are differentially, and inequitably, treated specifically due to their weight. This inequitable treatment results in deleterious health effects, such as poorer mental health, increased risk of mortality, avoidance to seek care, social isolation, and disadvantageous physiologic changes (e.g. elevated C-reactive protein). In an effort to foster equitable, inclusive, and fair treatment of all patient groups accessing naturopathic care, this critical reflection and narrative literature review was undertaken in order to explore important considerations specifically for people in larger bodies. Further, it may serve as a guide for naturopathic doctors (NDs) to appreciate the sensitivity of terminology, the complexity of weight-related research, the caution that must be taken with social media use and the unintentional, but likely, harms of hyperfocusing on weight. A call for actionable changes is relayed in order to provide the ND community with tangible and achievable goals to consciously work towards in order to foster equitable care and treatment of all patients, regardless of body size.

Review: The Efficacy of Curcumin in Cognitive Impairment
Authors: Fung Romi
Published: October 2021

Background Dementia is a syndrome characterized by a progressive cognitive decline that can interfere with everyday function. The presence of inflammation is associated with the progression of cognitive decline. Treatment of inflammation-induced cognitive decline has been proposed through the use of anti-inflammatories. One intervention studied is curcumin, a compound extracted from the spice turmeric with anti-inflammatory properties. This paper reviews the efficacy of curcumin in cognitive decline.

Purpose This review seeks to understand how effective curcumin is an intervention for optimizing cognition in older adults ages 55 and older compared to placebo. This study will benefit the naturopathic doctor investigating curcumin's current literature and its efficacy in treating cognitive decline.

Methods A literature search was conducted in accordance with literature review methods. Using the keywords [curcumin OR turmeric] AND [Alzheimer's disease OR dementia], a preliminary search for relevant articles on this topic was conducted on MEDLINE, PubMed, CINAHL, Embase and Cochrane databases screened for article titles containing dementia, Alzheimer's disease and curcumin, and filtering for articles published from 2000 onward and in English.

Results Six studies were found eligible after considering inclusion and exclusion criteria. Of these studies, four of them have shown positive cognition improvements, and two studies have shown no improvement in cognition.

Implications Curcumin may have potential as an intervention for the treatment of cognitive decline. However, due to insufficient studies, more research is warranted to understand better if curcumin is beneficial as an adjunctive treatment for Alzheimer's disease.

Key Messages

Inflammation plays a potential role in Alzheimer's disease. Curcumin is a compound extracted from the spice turmeric and possesses anti-inflammatory properties.

Curcumin may be a potential adjuvant in treating mild cognitive impairment, but likely not for those diagnosed with dementia.

Future research on curcumin use is needed to better address and understand its efficacy on individuals living with mild cognitive impairment and dementia.

Discussions about education, it is impossible to be free from the object that is the target, namely humans. Allah SWT created humans to be the most noble creatures among the creatures He created. Each educational institution has its own learning system in achieving learning objectives. However, there are also educational institutions that have their own way of achieving learning goals, one of which is learning and memorizing Juz 30, Surat Yaasin, tahlil, namely by developing takhassus programs which can make students who have better personalities, strengthen values. the character possessed by students so that they become complete human beings, both soul, body, intellectual and personality. So, students are not only focused on general knowledge but also deepen their religious knowledge so that they are able to become human beings who have strong faith qualities. The purpose of this study is to describe the process of implementing the Tahassus program at MA Ma'arif 1 Jombang. The results showed that the Tahassus program could improve reading and writing of the Qur'an, including increasing religious knowledge and as a provision when entering the community.

Sustainable Supply Chain Management: Insights from Australia’s Firms
Authors: Mamun Mehadi
Published: October 2021

While the sustainable supply chain is an emergent area of interest, the literature provides little guidance on how best to carry out sustainable supply chain management. The purpose of this paper is to provide hints to businesses on how best to approach the challenge of developing a sustainable supply chain. Hence, the case studies method is undertaken to explore how Australia’s companies that are prominent worldwide for their sustainability performance have approached the challenge of managing sustainability in their supply chain. This study finds that sustainability action plans and governance tools that rightly reflect requisites for suppliers, diverse evaluation means to measure the suppliers’ performance, and regular reviews of sustainable supply chain management practices and policies enable businesses to manage sustainability in their supply chain. The study contributes to the literature by providing a best practice model from the findings to provide practical guidance to businesses.
Technical design and stability analysis procedure for horizontal stability construction of roads and railways
Authors: Šepac Zvonimir
Published: October 2021

Unstable sections of predominantly vertical roads and railways are usually stabilized by viaducts, while predominantly horizontal unstable sections of the same structures are regularly stabilized by special structures which have a common feature of spaciousness or massiveness, and which proportionally also require peculiarity in all aspects of the construction. The goal of the new solution is to avoid the highlighted structural peculiarity, that is, to apply a solution that will be more of a constructive element of roads and railways, like a viaduct in an approximate sense. There is such a solution, and that is the low-rise stable structure, which in a naturally appropriate way counteracts horizontal instabilities on low-rise objects. The horizontal effect on the object is converted to a vertical direction via this construction by means of pile coupling, while this effect is greatly reduced due to the effect of static interaction between the components of the coupling. If, instead of various vertical structures with horizontal anchors or mass structure retaining walls, we apply the slope-pile coupling at an optimal angle in the range of 15 to 20 degrees, then, by activating the external horizontal effect, i.e. instability, the primary axial resistance in the oblique pile is simultaneously activated through circumferential friction. The vertical component of this resistance decreases the active horizontal component, while the horizontal does the same, provided that the pile has a transverse static EI feature. This approach has not been used thus far in engineering practice and therefore represents a novelty. Therefore, it can be argued that by constructing a low-rise stable structure, we can achieve at least approximately the same structural impression that we enjoy regarding the viaduct construction for predominantly vertical instabilities.
Vehicle design – Influence on operational quality
Authors: Rüger Bernhard
Published: October 2021

The design of rail vehicles, in particular the boarding area and the interior, has a significant influence on the passenger exchange time. The vehicle design is overlaid with passenger-specific characteristics such as age, mobility restrictions and, in particular, baggage. Poorly designed vehicle layouts mean that some of the seats cannot be used and the degree of capacity utilization achievable and thus customer comfort are noticeably reduced. In particular, however, poorly designed vehicles significantly prolong passenger exchange times, which leads to frequent delays and thus to a decline in operating quality. Based on almost twenty years of intensive research in the field of passenger behaviour in passenger trains, the technical paper will show clear approaches to solutions, how a good design of rail vehicles can increase the degree of utilisation and at the same time the customer comfort, how the passenger exchange time and thus the dwell time can be significantly reduced and thus the operational quality can be significantly increased in addition to other important advantages
Prediction of future passenger intensity assigning in the directions and time slots
Authors: Fridrišek Petr , Janoš Vít
Published: October 2021

This paper is focused on the prediction of passenger intensity on the Ostrava – Valasske Mezirici railway line in Moravian-Silesian Region, Czech Republic. The paper analyses available transport data about passenger behaviour. Data describes assigning passengers to appropriate directions and time slots in detail, emphasis is placed on daily and weekly variation of travel demand. Based on the provided travel behaviour researches, a model of assigning passenger intensity was designed. Travel surveys and available data sources from realized infrastructure studies were used. The prediction is harmonized with local specific conditions and proceeds from travel behaviour in previous years. The obtained assigning of passenger demand was exploited when designing a new operating concept for the suburban rail in the area. A model composition of the vehicle units and the frequency of connections in the respective sessions were suggested based on the obtained data.
Bicycle parking for office buildings in Frankfurt Main/Germany
Authors: Eger Rudolf Wilhelm
Published: October 2021

Until the end of 20th century new big office buildings in Germany – even in the central business district CBD – didn’t provide any or much too less facilities for bicycle parking. Since then the already existing state and municipal regulations have been enforced and new ones exist which define the mandatory number of bicycle parking lots for new office buildings. But now it can be seen that too many lots are required, the real demand is in many cases – and will be in the foreseeable future – much lower. With data from EU and German sources the situation in the Frankfurt am Main CBD is described: political goals for sustainable traffic by enforcing bicycle usage; municipal regulations for the number of bicycle parking facilities; comparison between (politically defined) requirements and the expected real demand. Today’s and future modal-split data for bike usage at office buildings from empirical traffic surveys and assumptions in Frankfurt are presented. Examples of bicycle parking facilities for already existing and planned office buildings in Frankfurt are provided, showing as result a compromise between city’s regulation and the expected demand for bicycle lots.
Challenges in implementing current track standards into the existing ageing infrastructure

Published: October 2021

The rail industry in the United Kingdom is constantly investing in its infrastructure to make a better experience for passengers by providing more frequent and faster journeys. Large parts of this investment are the renewal of infrastructure that needs upgrading and introduction of new rolling stock which requires strategic and operational planning, multi-disciplinary design input and approvals from Network Rail Route Asset Managers (RAM). With the evolving standards set out by Network Rail it is becoming increasingly difficult to design track alignments without derogations to these standards. The aim of this paper is to gauge industry professionals’ opinions on aspects surrounding track design such as their industry experience, their experience on working with software tools, as well as to highlight areas of design difficulty with regards to the Network Rail standards. Furthermore, this paper will explore a case study where the existing and proposed alignments have been analysed and an alternative proposed alignment has been designed in an attempt to eradicate the derogations encountered in the original design. Qualitatively collected data showed that 63% of sites designed by the respondents contain derogations, mainly connected to the restrictions and limitations in the design standards, as well as the changes to the scope during the project life cycle. Following on from this, the results of the case study highlighted the original accepted proposed design contained six derogations which, in the second proposed alignment, were reduced to three more serious derogations which resulted in the design being rejected.
