Chemical Composition of Cymbopogon flexuosus and C. winterianus Essential Oils and Their Insecticidal Potential Against the Coffee Berry Borer Hypothenemus hampei
Authors: Venkatesha Melally Giddegowda , Kiran Rudramuni
Published: January 2024

Hypothenemus hampei is the most important insect pest of coffee in the world. H. hampei is controlled by using endosulfan and methyl bromide. However, using these two chemicals may pose pesticide resistance, bioaccumulation, and a threat to human health and the environment. This study evaluated the chemical compositions of essential oils from Cymbopogon flexuosus and C. winterianus and their insecticidal potential against H. hampei as an alternative to endosulfan and methyl bromide. The chemical profiles of the two essential oils showed that both constituted biochemically distinct monoterpenes and sesquiterpenes. The main compounds identified in C. flexuosus were citral, geraniol, and isoforms, representing 76.45% of the total composition, and other active ingredients were citronella, caryophyllene, citronellyl acetate, cadinene, linalool, and limonene. The composition of C. winterianus was citronella, nerol, and citronellol as principal components, corresponding to 66.47%, along with other active ingredients elemol, geranyl acetate, citronellyl acetate, germacrene, and limonene. Differential sensitivity of H. hampei adults was observed in the bioassay of two oils, where a dose-dependent increase in mortality was observed. Among two concentrations of both essential oils, 100% mortality was observed at 500 and 1000 ppm within 48 and 24 hours of treatment, respectively. The significant biological activity of both Cymbopogon species oils indicated a potential source for further development of botanical pesticides as an effective, useful alternative for currently used toxic insecticides. Additionally, essential oils of C. flexuosus and C. winterianus and their active ingredients are classified as non-residual insecticides and are eligible for a pesticide registration exemption.

Authors: Riawan Weldy Anugra
Published: January 2024

Kinerja operasional Trans Batam di kawasan Batam Center masih tergolong rendah, salah satunya pada aspek waktu tunggu bus. Waktu tunggu tersebut dipengaruhi oleh time headway yang masih terlalu jauh dan terdapat faktor eksternal di luar kendali pengelola Trans Batam yang dapat memengaruhi keterlambatan waktu tiba bus yang terkait aspek keruangan. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menilai kualitas pelayanan waktu tunggu Trans Batam berdasarkan persepsi pengguna sehingga dapat diketahui prioritas perbaikan pelayanan tersebut. Penelitian ini menggunakan pendekatan kuantitatif yang didukung dengan alat analisis, yaitu uji validitas dan reliabilitas, distribusi frekuensi, pembobotan skala Likert, dan Importance-Performance Analysis (IPA). Metode pengumpulan data meliputi data primer berupa kuesioner, wawancara, dan observasi lapangan, serta data sekunder berupa dokumentasi dan survei instansional. Metode penarikan sampel dilakukan dengan metode purposive sampling untuk pemilihan narasumber atau informan, sedangkan metode accidental sampling dilakukan untuk pemilihan responden melalui kuesioner yang disebarkan ke pengguna Trans Batam di kawasan Batam Center. Hasil analisis menunjukkan waktu tunggu bus yang lama dipengaruhi pula oleh aspek keruangan, yaitu pola ruang atau karakteristik penggunaan lahan eksisting yang memicu terjadinya bangkitan dan tarikan lalu lintas yang tinggi sehingga membuat terjadinya kepadatan lalu lintas / kemacetan pada jalur bus yang masih menyatu dengan kendaraan lain. Kondisi struktur ruang atau jaringan jalan juga memengaruhi waktu tunggu bus, seperti adanya kemacetan pada jam-jam tertentu dan perbaikan jalan yang mengganggu bahkan pada waktu tertentu menutup akses bus menuju ke halte. Oleh karena itu, faktor penting yang mendukung strategi perbaikan pelayanan waktu tunggu Trans Batam adalah mempersingkat time headway untuk semua koridor sehingga waktu tunggu menjadi cepat, membuat jalur khusus bus, serta membangun system bus priority pada lampu lalu lintas.

Authors: Asmono Sepdian Luri , Ramadhani Wahyuning Putri
Published: January 2024

Sugarcane (Saccharum officinarum L.) is an important plantation commodity as the main raw material for producing sugar consumed in Indonesia. One of the varieties cultivated is VMC 86-550, but one of the technical obstacles to its cultivation is the slow and non-uniform growth of the seeds. Therefore, one effort to maximize the growth of budset seed varieties requires proper nutrition and contains growth-promoting hormones. Therefore, this study aims to determine the response of giving liquid organic fertilizer (LOF) from cow urine to the growth of VMC 86-550 sugarcane seedlings using the budset method. To find out the purpose, this study used a factorial randomized block design with a concentration factor of LOF of cow urine consisting of five levels (0%, 10%, 15%, 20%, and 25%). The second factor is the application frequency which consists of once every 2 weeks and once every 4 weeks, so there were 10 treatments and repeated three times. This study used a completely randomized factorial design and was analyzed using ANOVA if there was a significant influence followed by Duncan Multiple Range Test (DMRT) at a 5% level using SPSS 20 software. Observation variables included plant height, stem diameter, number of leaves, number of tillers, and root length of sugarcane seedlings up to 90 HST. The results showed that the addition of cow urine LOF had an effect on the growth of sugarcane seedlings, both from the concentration and frequency of application, but the combination of the two did not have a significant effect on all observation variables.

Published: January 2024

Indirect inguinal hernias occur due to patent processus vaginalis. One-third of cases present before 6 months of age. Despite being one of the most performed surgeries, inguinal hernia repair can be complicated due to unusual contents in the hernia sac. One commonly encountered unusual structure is the vermiform appendix. Less commonly, epiploic appendages, ovaries, uterus, urinary bladder, and fallopian tubes have also been encountered in the hernia sac. Intussusception as a content of the hernial sac is rare. We present a case of an indirect inguinal hernia complicated by ileoileal intussusception causing acute intestinal obstruction in a 2-month-old infant. To our knowledge, no such case has been described in the literature in the pediatric population.
Scope of Implementation of Low Salinity Nanofluid to Improve Oil Recovery in a Part of the Hapjan Oil Field of Upper Assam Basin
Authors: Goswami Uttaron , Medhi Nayan
Published: January 2024

The application of nanoparticles in the field of Enhanced Oil Recovery (EOR) has been an emerging technology in recent years. Earlier studies have shown that the nanofluids containing nanoparticles (NPs) of average size (<100 nm) can enhance the oil recovery through wettability alteration of rock, reduction of mobility ratio, reduction of oil-aqueous solution interfacial tension (IFT), reduction of sand production and improvement of sweep efficiency. Low Salinity Waterflooding (LSW) has been utilized as a promising EOR method in the last two decades. Recent studies have found that nanoparticle-assisted LSW embraces both nanoparticles and ions as EOR agents in the injection brine. This study investigates the scope of implementation of the low salinity nanofluid EOR using silica nanoparticles to improve oil recovery in the Tipam Reservoir Sandstone of the Hapjan Oil Field of Upper Assam Basin, India. The analysis of the reservoir brine, reservoir rock and crude oil shows the presence of divalent cations (Ca2+ and Mg2+), clay minerals (Illite and Smectite) and polar compounds (Asphaltene and Resin) respectively. The presence of the divalent cations, clay minerals and polar compounds in the Crude Oil/Brine/Rock system of a sandstone reservoir is the prerequisite for implementing low salinity nanofluid EOR. The study shows that the low salinity nanofluids can shift the wettability of the rock to a more water-wet state. It is also observed that the silica nanoparticles can increase the nanofluid viscosity and reduce the oil-nanofluid IFT, which can improve the recovery of oil. The experimental results show that the study area has great potential for the low salinity silica nanofluid EOR to improve oil recovery.

Published: January 2024

Solvated organics in the ocean are present in relatively small concentrations but contribute largely to ocean chemical diversity and complexity. Existing in the ocean as dissolved organic carbon (DOC) and enriched within the sea surface microlayer (SSML), these compounds have large impacts on atmospheric chemistry through their contributions to cloud nucleation, ice formation and other climatological processes. The ability to quantify the concentrations of organics in ocean samples is critical for understanding these marine processes. The work presented herein details an investigation to develop machine learning (ML) methodology utilizing infrared spectroscopy data to accurately estimate saccharide concentrations in complex solutions. We evaluated multivariate linear regression (MLR), K-Nearest-Neighbors (KNN), Decision Trees (DT), Gradient Boosted Regressors (GBR), Multilayer Perceptrons (MLP), and Support Vector Regressors (SVR) toward this goal. SVR models are shown to predict the accurate generalized saccharide concentrations best. Our work presents an application combining fast spectroscopic techniques with ML to analyze organic composition proxy ocean samples to target a generalized method for analyzing field marine samples more efficiently, without sacrificing accuracy or precision.
Understanding Selective Hydrogenation of Phenylacetylene on PdAg Single Atom Alloy: DFT Insights on Molecule Size and Surface Ensemble Effects
Authors: Ibrahim Hanan , Weckman Timo , Murzin Dmitry , Honkala Karoliina
Published: January 2024

Single atom alloys (SAA) have proven to be effective catalysts, offering customizable properties for diverse chemical processes. Various metal combinations are used in SAAs and Pd dispersed materials are frequently employed in catalyzing hydrogenation reactions. Herein, we explore the hydrogenation of phenylacetylene to styrene and ethylbenzene on PdAg SAA using density functional theory calculations. Our results show that while PdAg SAA does improve the activity of the host Ag towards hydrogenation, a dilute PdAg SAA surface with isolated Pd-atoms is not selective towards partial hydrogenation of phenylacetylene. Additionally, we investigate how the size of the reactant molecule, the size of the metal alloy ensemble, and a ligand effect impact the hydrogenation process. The SAA enhances the binding strengths of various organic adsorbates, although this effect diminishes as the adsorbate size increases. Our findings indicate the dilute PdAg exhibits selectivity towards hydrogenation of smaller molecules such acetylene due to its distinct adsorption geometry. The selective hydrogenation of phenylacetylene necessitates a surface Pd dimer ensemble. Our research highlights the importance of both reactant molecule size and surface configurations in SAA catalysts. This is particularly crucial when dealing with the adsorption of sizable organic molecules where the functional group can adopt different adsorption modes.
Generation of docking ligands to F13L mutations isolated in MonkeyPoxVirus-infected patients resistant to Tecovirimat-treatment
Authors: coll julio
Published: January 2024

Alternative drugs are actively searched because of the recent identification of F13L mutations in MonkeyPox Virus (MPXV)-infected patients with resistances to Tecovirimat-treatment. Aiming to help on these searches, computational strategies to generate rather than to screen for new drug-like ligand candidates were explored here. Targeting F13L-mutant representative models, thousands of fitted-children ligands were predicted by i) co-evolutions from the Tecovirimat parent molecule, and ii) F13L-mutant models limited by pooling the most abundant mutations isolated from Tecovirimat-treated patients. Children-fitting F13L-mutant docking-cavities predicted novel scaffolds, nanoMolar affinities, high specificities, absence of known toxicities and conservation of their parent-docking cavities. Despite their limitations, such proved-on-concept similar strategies might be fine-tuned to computational explore for new drugs the most prevalent Tecovirimat-resistance mutants
A fluorogenic pseudo-infection assay to probe transfer and distribution of influenza viral contents to target vesicles
Authors: Bhattacharya Ahanjit , Bagheri Nahal , Boxer Steven G.
Published: January 2024

Fusion of enveloped viruses with endosomal membranes and subsequent release of viral genome into the cytoplasm is crucial to the viral infection cycle. It is often modelled by carrying out fusion between virus particles and target lipid vesicles. We utilized fluorescence microscopy to characterize the kinetic and spatial aspects of the transfer of influenza viral ribonucleoprotein (vRNP) complexes to target vesicles and their distribution within the fused volumes to gain deeper insight into the mechanistic aspects of endosomal escape. The fluorogenic RNA-binding dye QuantiFluor® (Promega) was found to be well-suited for direct and sensitive microscopic observation of vRNPs which facilitated background-free detection and kinetic analysis of fusion events on a single particle level. To determine the extent to which the viral contents are transferred to the target vesicles through the fusion pore, we carried out virus-vesicle fusion in a side-by-side fashion. Measurement of the Euclidean distances between the centroids of super-localized membrane and content dye signals within the fused volumes allowed determination of any symmetry (or the lack thereof) between them as expected in the event of transfer (or the lack thereof) of vRNPs, respectively. We found that in case of fusion between viruses and 100 nm target vesicles, ~39% of the events led to transfer of viral contents to the target vesicles. This methodology provides a rapid, generic and cell-free method to assess the inhibitory effects of anti-viral drugs and therapeutics on the endosomal escape behavior of enveloped viruses.
Polyoxothiometalates Synthesis through Site-Selective Post-Editing of Polyoxometalates
Authors: Yonesato Kentaro , Yamaguchi Kazuya , Suzuki Kosuke
Published: January 2024

Polyoxometalates (POMs) function as platforms for synthesizing structurally well-defined inorganic molecules with diverse structures, metals, compositions, and arrangements. Although post-editing of the oxygen sites of POMs has great potential for development of unprecedented structures, electronic states, properties, and applications, facile methods for site-selective substitution of the oxygen sites with other atoms remain limited. Herein, we report a direct site-selective oxygen–sulfur substitution method that enables transforming POMs [XW12O40]4− (X = Si, Ge) to Keggin-type polyoxothiometalates (POTMs) [XW12O28S12]4− using sulfurizing reagents in an organic solvent. The resulting POTMs retain the original Keggin-type structure, with all 12 surface W=O groups selectively converted to W=S without sulfurization of other oxygen sites. These POTMs show high stability against water and O2 in organic solvents and a drastic change in the electronic states and redox properties. The findings of this study represent a facile method for converting various POMs to POTMs, leading to the development of their unique properties and applications in diverse fields, including (photo)catalysis, sensing, optics, electronics, energy conversion, and batteries.
Encording a Many-body Potential Energy Surface into a Grid-Based Matrix Product Operator
Authors: Hino Kentaro , Kurashige Yuki
Published: January 2024

An efficient algorithm for compressing a given many-body potential energy surface (PES) of molecular systems into a grid-based matrix product operator (MPO) is proposed. The PES is once represented by a full-dimensional or truncated many-body expansion form, which is obtained by ab initio calculations at each grid mesh point, and then all terms in the expansion are compressed and merged into a single MPO while maintaining the bond dimension of the MPO as small as possible. It was shown that the ab initio PES of the H2CO was compressed by more than two orders of magnitude in the size of the site operators without loss of accuracy. By the use of the grid basis, the tensor rank of the site operators of the MPO is reduced from four to three due to the diagonal nature of the position-dependent operators on the grid basis, which significantly reduces the computational cost of the tensor contractions required in the real and imaginary time evolution of the matrix product state (MPS) wavefunctions with the grid-based MPO (Grid-MPO) Hamiltonian. Similar to other grid-based methods, the Grid-MPO is readily applicable to any kind of potentials of molecular systems if the values at the grid points are available. Using the Grid-MPO combined with the MPS, we calculated the time correlation function of the Eigen cation \eigen to predict the infrared (IR) spectrum and compared with the experimental and the previous theoretical study. The actual scaling with the size of systems was examined for the multidimensional Henon-Heiles Hamiltonian. It was shown that the calculations are considerably accelerated by the graphic processing unit (GPU) because the sizes of site operators were kept small and all tensors were able to be stored on the VRAM of a GPU.
2′,3′ cyclic nucleotide 3′ phosphodiesterase 1 functional isoform antagonizes HIV-1 particle assembly

Published: January 2024

IFN-stimulated gene 2′,3′ cyclic nucleotide 3′ phosphodiesterase (CNP) comprises two isoforms: the short CNP1 and the long CNP2, featuring an additional N-terminal segment of 20 amino acids (N20aa) proposed as a mitochondrial targeting sequence. Notably, CNP1 can be produced by cleaving the N20aa segment from CNP2. Although previous investigations have recognized the HIV-1 particle assembly impairment capability of CNP2, the antiviral activity of CNP1 remains ambiguous. Our study clarifies that CNP1, as opposed to CNP2, serves as the primary isoform exerting anti-HIV-1 activity. Both CNP1 and CNP2 can localize to the cell membrane, but the N20aa segment of CNP2 impedes CNP2–HIV-1 Gag interaction. Cleavage of the N20aa segment from CNP2 results in the formation of a functional, truncated form known as CNP1. Intriguingly, this posttranslational processing of CNP2 N20aa occurs within the cytoplasmic matrix rather than the mitochondria. Regulated by CTII motif prenylation, CNP1 proteins translocate to the cell membrane and engage with HIV-1 Gag. In conclusion, our findings underscore the pivotal role of posttranslational modification in governing the inhibitory potential of CNP in HIV-1 replication.

Authors: Zhang Yang , Zhu Yue’e
Published: January 2024

Da Sheng Bian, a significant work on obstetrics and gynecology that emerged in the early Qing Dynasty, was initially published as “A Treatise on Midwifery” in 1842 by William Lockhart, a British missionary to China. In 1894, John G. Kerr, an American missionary, translated the text as “The Tat Shang Pin”. This paper conducts a comparative study of the two English translations using a self-constructed English-Chinese parallel corpus of Da Sheng Bian. The study explores the translation styles of the two translators by examining the token-types ratio and frequency at the lexical level, mean sentence length at the syntactic level, and the use of conjunctions at the discourse level. The observed differences in translation styles between the two translations are analyzed in relation to the translators’ backgrounds and translation strategies.

Este estudo teve por objetivo analisar a distribuição espacial da cobertura vegetal a partir do Índice de Vegetação por Diferença Normalizada (NDVI) na Serra da Caboronga, em Ipirá-BA, visando subsidiar o planejamento e a gestão ambiental da área. Para isso, foi realizada a aplicação do NDVI a partir de imagens de satélites dos anos de 2000, 2009 e 2019. Essas imagens foram levantadas do catálogo da Divisão de Geração de Imagens do Serviço Geológico dos Estados Unidos (U.S.G.S. – United States of Geological Survey) e fazem parte da série de satélites LANDSAT (Land Remote Sensing Satellite). Após a aquisição das imagens, foi realizado o processamento digital no software QGis 3.4 e, por fim, para obtenção do NDVI foram realizadas álgebras de bandas das imagens de satélites na “calculadora raster”, ferramenta do QGis. Para serem associados aos índices de NDVI, foram levantados dados pluviométricos do período correspondente. Com base nos dados, verificou-se que houve influência da precipitação na variação do NDVI ao longo do período analisado, assim como também ocorreram mudanças nos usos da terra, o que resultou em baixos valores de NDVI em algumas áreas da Serra, refletindo espaços de pastagens e áreas de solo exposto. A distribuição espacial do NDVI está relacionada à altitude do terreno, a umidade dos solos e aos diferentes usos da terra.

Sedangkan pada tahun 2004 wanita cantik adalah sosok yang putih, feminim, berpendidikan, dan berpikiran modern. Definisi cantik pada iklan tahun 2017 adalah sosok wanita yang memiliki kulit putih, langsing dan berpenampilan layaknya wanita Asia Timur. Pada tahun 2022 definisi cantik adalah wanita yang mengenal dan bangga akan identitasnya sebagai wanita Indonesia yang multi etnis dan berbudaya heterogen. Iklan Citra juga dapat dijadikan sebagai sarana bagi wanita dalam memenuhi kebutuhan eksistensialisme dan seksualitas.
Ultra-Orthodox Telelearning During COVID-19: Parent, Teacher, and Principal Perspectives on Its Effectiveness
Authors: Rosenberg Hananel , Sabag-Ben Porat chen , Billig Miriam
Published: January 2024

Aim/Purpose: This study addresses telephone learning channels during the coronavirus period in the ultra-Orthodox sector in Israel. The purpose of the study is to examine the effectiveness of the online and recorded telephone channels and the way they were perceived by the student’s parents and educators.

Background: The ultra-orthodox society’s lack of use of online means has created many distant learning challenges for learners and educators.

Methodology: The study combines quantitative and qualitative methods based on a comprehensive survey of parents of elementary school-aged children (N=395) and semistructured interviews (N=45) with parents, principals, and teachers in ultra-Orthodox schools.

Contribution: The study describes a unique learning system in a unique population group, which does not use online means, from various points of view in the educational system.

Findings: The results of the study indicate that parent attitudes toward telephonic learning – synchronous and asynchronous – are critical and that evaluations of its effectiveness are negative and ineffective. This evaluation stems from a variety of challenges faced by the learners: technical challenges related to the problematic infrastructure and terminal accessibility issues; didactic challenges related to adapting the learning style to the character of the students and their age; challenges arising from the characteristics of the medium: the lack of a visual dimension, its function as a one-way channel, and the lack of potential for effective interactivity; and the need for parental involvement and spatial challenges resulting from the crowded and limited learning space at home.

Recommendations for Practitioners: Based on the research results, and in order to meet the challenges of a future pandemic or similarly disruptive crisis, telelearning spaces must be improved significantly.

Recommendation for Researchers: The results can be used to examine how other unique communities, especially those that avoid the use of online means, are managing distance learning in a crisis.

Impact on Society: It was found that telephone learning in ultra-Orthodox society during COVID-19 failed to realize the learning potential inherent in this channel for a number of reasons discussed in the article and failed to create the learning conditions necessary for telephone learning to succeed, as demonstrated in previous studies.

Future Research: In a similarly disruptive crisis, future research should see whether or how telelearning spaces have improved or whether other learning methods have been adopted by the ultra-orthodox public.
Rethinking the Parent: A Valuing-Based Ego State Model
Authors: Kornyeyeva Lena
Published: January 2024

The two integrative components of the Parent ego state in the original functional model are reconsidered in the context of psychotherapeutic work and its effectiveness. An alternative interpretation of the functional model is presented and argued, based both on theoretical considerations widely accepted in the profession and on a practical implementation of the reconsidered functional model. The present elaboration is based on the value principle, i.e. the premise that the need for self-worth is a core social need and that the experience of being devalued by a significant parental figure causes psychological trauma and correlated deficits and compensations. The importance of self-esteem in the context of attachment, “narcissistic wounding” and vulnerability, and empirical findings and therapeutic responses in psychotherapeutic practice are discussed. A case study of couple therapy is presented to illustrate the application of the model.

The study focused on examining genetic variants as potential biomarkers for heightened vulnerability to periodontal disease. The objective of this article is to present a comprehensive survey of oral diseases that arise as a consequence of genetic problems. Due to the heightened vulnerability to gum and tooth disease associated with numerous genetic abnormalities, the appearance of these symptoms tends to occur quickly and with notable severity.
A Demographic and Epidemiological Investigation of Patients Afflicted with Cutaneous Leishmaniasis in The Diyala Government Region of Iraq
Authors: Khamaes Eman Salman
Published: January 2024

Leishmaniasis considers one of the public health issues over the world. The risk of infection increases when expose to the blood-sucking sandflies that facilitate the parasite transmission between mammalian hosts, including humans in a few cases, that carry the metacyclic promastigotes during the infection. The present study aimed to investigate the demographical and epidemiological characteristics of 75 patients infected with cutaneous leishmaniasis (CL) compared to a healthy control group. The current findings referred that the employment patients have a non-significantly higher percentage compared to non-employment patients, the females have a non-significantly higher percentage. While in the not-employed patients, the males have a non-significant higher percentage. Additionally in urban, the proportion of CL was not significantly higher in males. While in rural, the results were different. Also, the percentage of CL was significantly higher in Khan Bani Saad position in Diyala province compared with other positions, the percentage of infected females was significantly higher than males at this position. The present findings referred that the job type, living style and position have a main role in the prevalence rate of the disease in rural and urban cities and gender has no role in the etiology of the disease.
Small Area Estimation Using Empirical Bayes Poisson Gamma on Adolescent Fertility Rate in Indonesia

Published: January 2024

High population growth is one of the main population problems facing Indonesia. One of the government's efforts to overcome this is by preventing adolescent fertility. The Adolescence Fertility Rate (AFR) produced by the IDHS is designed until provincial level, whereas the availability of AFR at the district/city level is needed as an indicator of regional development measurement. The purpose of this research is to produce an estimation of AFR at the district/city level in Indonesia and find out which auxiliary variables significantly influence it and evaluate the performance of the model in estimating AFR. The analytical method used is descriptive analysis to explain the characteristics of adolescent fertility and auxiliary variables and also direct estimation and the indirect estimation method using Small Area Estimation Empirical Bayes Poisson Gamma. The results showed that the number of villages, school facilities, health facilities, health workers, telephone lines and operators significantly affected the fertility of adolescents and the results of the SAE EB Poisson Gamma estimation were better than the direct estimation method. Suggestions proposed are the government need to increase attention to districts/cities that have AFR that is higher than the average AFR or National AFR and increase the number of school facilities and the number of health workers.

Published: January 2024

The polyherbal preparation's pharmacological and phytochemical properties have been used all over the world. Single or multiple herbs (polyherbal) are utilized for treatment in Ayurveda. The Sarangdhar Samhita, a work of Ayurvedic literature, emphasized the idea of polyherbalism as a means of enhancing therapeutic efficacy. Individual plants' active phytochemical components are insufficient to produce the desired therapeutic effects. The medicinal effects and toxicity are improved when different herbs are combined in a specific ratio. Comforts of drug administration and patient compliance are given significant weight when designing dose forms. New and developing technology can be used to produce durable, adaptable tablets with exceptional flavor masking and controlled release. Orally disintegrating tablets (ODTs) are solid dosage forms that disintegrate in the mouth in less than 60 s, and are thus swallowed without the need for water. Rapid disintegration of tablet cause quick dissolution thus rapid onset of action. Polyherbal Fast dissolving Tablets disintegrates in mouth quickly and produces fast onset of action without use of water makes it suitable for special population like pediatrics, geriatrics, psychotic, dysphasic, bedridden patient and frequent traveller patient. The current review article explains the features of active ingredients and excipient used in the formulation of ODTs, discusses multiple ODT formulation and preparation techniques with their merits and demerits, and also, offers remedies for problems associated with ODTs. Moreover, quality control steps and required considerations are presented.
