BACKGROUND: Visceral Leishmaniasis is a chronic disease and was first described in 1903, byLIESHMAN and DONOVAN. The disease is common in tropical and sub tropical areas of the worldwith various hematological manifestations. It is characterized by fever, visceromegaly, weight loss,pancytopenia and hypergammaglobulenemia. The disease is silent killer, invariably killing almost alluntreated patients, but curable with hematological improvement within 4-6 weeks of treatment.OBJECTIVE: To determine the frequency of Visceral Leishmaniasis in patints with cytopenias .MATERIAL AND METHODS: A descriptive study conducted in Pathology department, HayatabadMedical Complex, Hayatabad from September 1, 2012 to August 31, 2013. This study comprises of 126patients, subjected to complete blood counts. Diagnosis were confirmed by finding Amastigote( L/Dbody) from bonemarrow aspirate. All the patients who were referred to pathology Department of thehospital for bone marrow examination, with the results of peripheral blood using automatedHaematology analyzer, Sysmex KX 21 showing cytopenia were included in the study. Consent wastaken from the patient for bone-marrow aspiration procedure. After consent detailed history, physicalexamination was done.Laboratory investigations i.e. full blood count, which includes hemoglobin estimation, white blood cell,red blood, and platelet count.Bone marrow cytology (Giemsa stain) was recorded on the designed profroma.Posterior superior iliac spine (PSIS) was used as the site for aspiration in adults and children over 2years of ageRESULT: Descriptive case series study of 126 patients of peripheral cytopenia. In which 77 (61.1%)patients were males and 49 (38.9%) were female with male to female ratio of 1.57: 1 It was also foundin this study that visceral leishmaniasis was present in 29 (23%) of cases and the male: female were 1.6:1. Result of the automated hematology analyzer of peripheral cytopenic patients in visceralleishmaniasis show that all of the patients were having total leukocyte count less than 4000/cmm(100%). The hemoglobin level wass less than lOgm/dl in 26 cases (87.7%) and more than lOgm/dl inthree cases (10.3%). In case of platelets count, 27 cases (93.1%) were having platelets count less than150000/cmm.CONCLUSION: Incidence of visceral leishmaniasis is highier in children age group 1-10 years, alsomales are more prone than females.

Thermal decomposition of ktenasite
Authors: Delcheva Zlatka , Petrova Nadia , Stanimirova Tsveta
Published: October 2021

The aim of this paper is to report preliminary data concerning the thermal behavior of the ktenasite based on analysis of decomposition processes and obtained products using combined thermal and XRD methods. The ktenasite was prepared by a chemical reaction between 1 g of ZnO powder and 10 ml 1M solution of CuSO4 with periodical steering at room tem¬perature for 7 days. The obtained suspension was filtered, washed with distilled water, and dried at room temperature. The thermal decomposition process of the ktenasite including different processes such as dehydration, dehydroxylation and evolving of SO2 and O2 is rather complicated due to the simultaneous presence of both copper and zinc in the system and this suggests further investigations to clarify the reaction mechanism of the process.

Positioning with celestial bodies (celestial navigation) is the art of determining on the surface of the earth based on measurements of celestial bodies which have guided sailors for hundreds of years. Astronomical positioning methods or celestial body navigation are becoming increasingly obsolete and rarely used. The fact is that today, along with technological advances, seafarers prefer to use electronic navigation tools such as the Global Positioning System (GPS). The the International Convention on Standard of Training, Certification and Watchkeeping for Seafarers (STCW) amended 2011, requires all officers on board responsible for navigation to be able to determine the height of celestial bodies, the Line of Position (LOP) and the position of the ship. In general, there are 2 methods of determining the navigation position of celestial bodies, namely by calculating the Sight Reduction Table. This research discusses the accuracy of determining the height of the solar count by comparing the accuracy of the 2 methods. The method used is descriptive comparative based on field research with a qualitative approach. The technique of collecting data was done by means of observation, documentation and literature study. The purpose of this research is to test the accuracy of each calculation method, namely the calculation of the Sailing List (DIP) and the Sight Reduction Table (SRT). The results obtained in this study are the high calculation accuracy calculation method of calculating shipping science lists is more accurate with testing which is further discussed in this study.

Authors: Cahyandi Kristian
Published: October 2021

Meneliti dinamika masyarakat nelayan akan dihadapkan pada persoalan yang komplek, sehingga perlu mendapatkan perhatian yang serius dan berkesinambungan. Untuk mewujudkan ketepat sasaran dalam pola pembangunan masyarakat nelayan, tidak dapat begitu saja mengesampingkan berbagai sifat dan karakter yang melekat didalamnya. Pada saat mendekati komunitas antara masyarakat nelayan juga berbeda dengan pada saat mendekati masyarakat petani. Di samping lokasi kegiatan yang berbeda, tipikal sosiologi masing-masing komunitas masyarakat tersebut juga berbeda, sehingga dalam menentukan pola pembangunan antara dua kounitas masyarakat tersebut menjadi berbeda. Tujuan penelitian untuk menawarkan solusi aplikatif terhadap upaya peguatan ekonomi masyarakat nelayan melalui deverifikasi produk hasil tangkap ikan. Kendala yang menjadikan betapa susahnya untuk mengentaskan kemiskinan dan meningkatkan kesejahteraan pada komunias masyarakat nelayan adalah dipengaruhi oleh faktor internal maupun eksternal dari masyarakat nelayan itu sendiri. Faktor internal yang melekat pada masyarakat nelayan, dari mulai tingkat pendidikan, permodalan, hingga penggunaan dalam teknologi tangkap ikan. Sedangkan dari factor eksternal dapat dilihat dari potensi sumber daya alam laut yang semakin berkurang, tingkat persingan yang semakin tinggi pada kalangan masyarakat nelayan pemilik modal, pengolahan bahan mentah hingga mekanisme pasar yang dihadapi masyarakat desa pesisir. Metode yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini menggunakan pendekatan deskriptif kualitatif yang bersumber dari olahan data primer dan sekunder. Hasil dari penelitian memberikan gambaran mengenai diperlukannya suatu terobosan baru dalam upaya pengentasan kemiskinan melalui peguatan ekonomi pada komunitas masyarakat nelayan, dari yang sebelumnya bertitik tumpu pada orientasi kuantitas hasil berubah menjadi upaya pengembangan hasil atau deversifikasi usaha. Diiringi dengan peningkatan kemandirian masyarakat desa pesisir.
Online Learning in the Era of Pandemic: Solution or Disaster?
Authors: Vidhiasi Dhion Meitreya
Published: October 2021

The change in life continues to change quickly. The 4.0 industry has been examined, marking a development in IT, including the Internet, Big Data and Artificial Intelligence. Everyone was not distinguished from technology by the development of IT in the 21st century. Different opinions from various parties to online learning come from face-to-face shifting paradigms. This sort of learning paradigm has multiple advantages and disadvantages to reach the aim of learning itself. This study seeks to assess the perspective of learners of online learning in this context in a COVID-19 pandemic. The study focuses on students of the English conversation of Akademi Maritim Nusantara Cilacap. The instruments used are semi-structured interviews. The researcher asked the students about the Covid-19 outbreak via the WhatsApp service. The research design employed in this research was a case study. The online study is unbelievably advantageous in the heart of the pandemic. AMN Cilacap has selected the Google Classroom Service as its Learning Management System. They will receive new terminology, knowledge, and technical skills. Thus, when they graduate in the future, students will no longer have problems using their primary app for education. Online learning is more effective than offline learning for a particular objective, information, skills, and students. Combining the benefit of online and offline teaching approaches known as combined learning will help overcome the potential limitations of online learning in the professional school of AMN Cilacap. But a mix of online and offline learning, notwithstanding the volatility of online, may be the best option to maximize its worth.

Ang “Aswang” at “Tama(w)o” Bilang Sinematikong Kaalamang-Bayan at Diyalektika ng Bansa at Rehiyon
Authors: Quintos Jay Jomar
Published: October 2021

This essay attempts to construct and deconstruct the discourses of “nation” (bayan) and “region” (rehiyon) vis-à-vis “aswang” and “tama(w)o” embedded in the films of Negrense filmmaker Richard Somes – “Lihim ng San Joaquin” from Shake, Rattle, and Roll 2k5 (Monteverde, Monteverde, & Somes, 2005), Yanggaw (Arguelles, Montelibano, Montelibano, & Somes, 2008), “Tamawo” from Shake, Rattle, and Roll 13 (Monteverde, Monteverde, & Somes, 2011), and Corazon: Ang Unang Aswang (Calmerin, Kintanar, Samson-Martinez, & Somes, 2012). Using the horror genre, the four films present the quotidian lives from the nation’s peripheries through the depiction of the antagonized “indigenous belief systems,” imagined backward-ness of the bucolic landscape, and oppressive hacienda systems. These spatio-temporal dispositifs are deemed to result in the contested processes of the dichotomy and vicissitudes between rural and urban, margin and center, Self and Other, and nation and region. Finally, by considering Somes’s films as “filmic folklore,” the essay tries to configure and reconfigure the folk creatures “aswang” and “tama(w)o” as cornucopia and articulations of regional and national “history of emotions.”
Local Film Production in the Philippine Cordillera: Processes, Motivations, and Constraints
Authors: Telles Jason Paolo
Published: October 2021

The local film production industries in the Philippine Cordillera region have been thriving since the 1980s. In Baguio City, Benguet, and Mountain Province, local filmmakers have already produced various cinematic forms such as documentary films, feature (short and full length) films, music videos, and animated films for various purposes. Utilizing political economy of media as a framework, this paper provides a preliminary exploration of the processes involved in the local production of those types of films in Baguio, Benguet, and Mountain Province. It also discusses the motivations and constraints that influence or inform the decisions and activities of local filmmakers in terms of content and production.
Discourses on Conflict Women: Surfacing the Women in Marawi in News-mediated “Development as Discourse
Authors: Tabada Ma. Theresa Angelina
Published: October 2021

Like myths in folklore, “development as discourse” constructs women. I argue that these representations of women, particularly in seven selected online articles produced by news media and development institutions about the recovery of Marawi City in the Philippines after nearly five months of conflict in 2017, obscure women’s genuine aspirations and actual participation in rehabilitation efforts. Using the lens of Third World feminism and postdevelopment thinking, I point out how these media discourses on development mythologize women. Parsing “development as discourse” is essential not only for exposing the contradictions in media representations of women but also for surfacing the possibilities of reinterpreting the myths. Critical writing and reading can demythologize and liberate conflict women and other silenced Others.

Introduction: Pathological tooth wear in children with primary dentition can be a result of various harmful habits, risk factors and nocturnal bruxism. It is difficult to be distinguished from physiological tooth wear. Aim:To study caries prevalence, tooth wear prevalence, its clinical characteristics and its relationship with bruxism in children aged 3 - 7 years. Materials and methods: The object of the study are 222 children, divided into 5 age groups - from 3 to 7 years. The examined children underwent a clinical examination, during which the following were registered: dental status, caries prevalence, the type, degree and prevalence of tooth wear. Information on the presence and characteristics of nocturnal bruxism in the examined children was obtained from the parents. The results were statistically processed with SPSS-19. Results: Tooth wear is found in more than 2/3 of the examined children (P<0.05). The highest average number of abraded teeth is present in 6- and 7-year-old children - about 7. Tooth abrasion affects 75% of canine teeth, 37.6% of incisors and 11.8% of molars in children aged 3-7 years. The predominant severity of wear is that in the inner ½ of the enamel (degree 1b) and occurs in 41.7% of children (P<0.05). 1/3 of the examined children have nocturnal bruxism (P<0.05). In almost 90% of them, tooth wear was found (P<0.05). Conclusions: There is an increase in the severity of tooth abrasion with age in children between 3-7 years. Nocturnal bruxism is almost always accompanied by tooth wear.
Investigating government spending multiplier for the US economy: empirical evidence using a triple lasso approach
Authors: Bragoudakis Zacharias , Panas Dimitrios
Published: October 2021

An essential dilemma in economics that has yielded ambiguous answers is whether governments should spend more in recessions. This paper provides an extension of the work of Ramey & Zubairy (2018) for the US economy according to which the government spending multipliers are below unity, especially when the economy experiences severe slack. Nonetheless, their work suffered from some limitations with respect to invertibility and weak instrument problem. The contribution of this paper is twofold: Firstly, it provides evidence that a triple lasso approach for the lag selection is a useful tool in removing the invertibility issues and the weak instrument problem. Secondly, the main results using a triple lasso approach suggest multipliers below unity for most cases with no evidence for differences between different states of the economy. Nevertheless, re-running the code in Ramey & Zubairy (2018), the case where WWII is excluded exhibits multipliers above unity, in both the military news and Blanchard-Perotti specifications, contradicting their baseline findings and providing evidence for a more effective government spending in recessions.
Latin American perspectives on datafication and artificial intelligence: Traditions, interventions and possibilities
Authors: Treré Emiliano , Milan Stefania
Published: October 2021

This introductory essay illustrates the context, clarifies the relevance, and outlines the key themes of this Special Issue on “Latin American Perspectives on Datafication and Artificial intelligence”. It starts pointing out that so far, the engagement of Latin American scholarship in the exploration of data technologies and the rise of intelligent systems has been limited. However, it is argued, Latin American traditions in both research and praxis have much to offer to our understanding of the evolution of the information ecosystem. We propose to map different Latin American perspectives on datafication and AI using an analytical matrix structured along two theme lines, that is three building blocks (infrastructure, imaginaries, practices) and three interpretative lenses (decoloniality and race, feminist theory, pluriversal thinking). Then, we reflect on two procedural issues: the need to consider this Special Issue as a conversation-starter, and the importance of having this conversation in multiple languages and in an open access format. We conclude providing an outline of the various contributions of the Special Issue. Authors address algorithms from the south and coloniality, datafication and corruption, data activism, AI and journalism, and platform labor in the context of Latin America and drawing on Latin American theoretical contributions
Descolonizando los sistemas algorítmicos: diseño crítico para la problematización de algoritmos y datos digitales desde el Sur
Authors: Tironi Martín , Valderrama Matías
Published: October 2021

Este artículo propone reflexiones metodológicas y teóricas a partir del proyecto interdisciplinario “Identidades algorítmicas”. Iniciado en 2019 entre investigadores de la Pontificia Universidad Católica de Chile y la Universidad de Warwick (Reino Unido), busca comprender cómo la persona es configurada en tiempos de algoritmos y datos digitales. Para ello, diseñamos un prototipo de aplicación, llamada Big Sister, que emula los sistemas de elaboración de perfiles y recomendaciones algorítmicas de las grandes plataformas digitales. Este prototipo ha servido de dispositivo de investigación social en un doble sentido: por un lado, nos permitió producir conocimiento en un hacer y deshacer crítico y descolonial; por otro lado, a través de entrevistas de rastros digitales con participantes usuarios del prototipo, pudimos explorar en sus experiencias y estimular la reflexión acerca de las mediaciones de algoritmos en sus vidas. En este artículo, examinamos el proceso de prototipado de esta aplicación y algunos hallazgos sobre cómo personas en Chile comprenden, habitan y dan forma cotidianamente a datos y algoritmos. Recogiendo elementos de autores latinoamericanos como Arturo Escobar, Jesús Martín-Barbero y Paulo Freire, argumentamos que el prototipado de una aplicación puede avanzar hacia una aproximación “problematizadora” de la datificación y los sistemas algorítmicos en Latinoamérica.
Algoritmização de estereótipos raciais em bancos de imagens: a persistência dos padrões coloniais Jezebel, Mammy e Sapphire para mulheres negras
Authors: Carrera Fernanda
Published: October 2021

Neste trabalho, é realizado um estudo exploratório de bancos de imagens, especificamente Getty Images e Shutterstock, analisando se os processos de tagueamento desses dispositivos de busca revelam modos algorítmicos de reprodução de mentalidades coloniais a respeito de mulheres negras. Com base no conceito de “imagens de controle”, de Patricia Hill Collins, foram analisadas aqui as imagens Jezebel, Mammy e Sapphire, a partir do entendimento de que esses estereótipos sobre a subjetividade feminina negra reforçam narrativas de subordinação, exploração e animalização, a serviço da colonialidade. Embora os resultados apresentem especificidades, sobretudo em virtude da pandemia da covid-19, percebeu-se que a colonialidade algorítmica se manifesta nesses bancos, que etiquetam com mais frequência as imagens de mulheres negras a padrões coloniais de representação de sexualidade, trabalho e agressividade.
O chão de fábrica (brasileiro) da inteligência artificial: a produção de dados e o papel da comunicação entre trabalhadores de Appen e Lionbridge
Authors: Grohmann Rafael , Fernandes Araújo Willian
Published: October 2021

O artigo analisa, por meio de uma pesquisa exploratória, o trabalho de brasileiros em plataformas globais de inteligência artificial (IA), especialmente Appen e Lionbridge, no sentido de destacar o papel da comunicação e da produção de dados para a IA, delineando condições e complexidades do trabalho, enquanto um “chão de fábrica da inteligência artificial”. Para isso, a partir de entrevistas com trabalhadores e observações em grupos de WhatsApp e Facebook, chegamos a cinco categorias predominantes: processos de contratação, acompanhamento do tempo e dificuldades na comprovação das horas trabalhadas, falta de confiabilidade da infraestrutura, estratégias de trabalho e definição de trabalho, e compreensão da IA. Com base na análise, sustentamos que, ao contrário de um universalismo, há uma geopolítica no trabalho em plataformas de IA, em um colonialismo por meio da IA. Destacamos as condições materiais de produção de dados e o papel da comunicação entre trabalhadores como solidariedades emergentes e complexas, enquanto fissuras e brechas, a fim de construir estratégias para lidar com o trabalho em plataformas de IA.

Reflexive-Dative Constructions with Optative Meaning in Bulgarian
Authors:   Asen Zlatarov University of Burgas, Petrova Galina
Published: October 2021

This article analyzes and compares two types of Bulgarian reflexivedative constructions with optative meaning: bi-clausal (Иска ми се да танцувам ‘I wish to dance’) and monoclausal (Танцува ми се ‘I feel like dancing’). It presents the structural and semantic speciﬁcity of these constructions as well as the possibilities and constrains for their use. Both structures are distinguished by the presence of a verb in the third person, the reflexive particle се and an obligatory dative clitic expressing an experiencer argument. The bi-clausal constructions are viewed as resulting from optative diathesis: аз искам да ‘I want to’ → иска ми се да ‘I wish to’. The monoclausal constructions are viewed as resulting from a further transformation: Иска ми се да танцувам → Танцува ми се. The semantic specialization of the monoclausal constructions is to express a desire for something based on an internal need (primary or secondary). The dative argument is understood as a ‘feel like/experiencer’ subject of the denoted event.
Charitable Activity of Bulgarians in the South of Ukraine (The Middle of the XIX Century – The Early XX Century)
Authors: Hedo Anna , Kryhina Olha
Published: October 2021

Based on a comprehensive analysis of the materials of the State Archives of Odessa Region, periodicals, charters of Bulgarian charitable societies, reports of the Bulgarian Board of Trustees in Odessa, and scientific literature, the article comprehensively reflects the charitable activities of Bulgarians in the South of Ukraine in the mid-nineteenth – early twentieth century. The main attention in the research is paid to the creation and activity of the “Bulgarian Board of Trustees in Odessa”. Based on the information of the charter, the society’s reports and archival materials, the participation, status and nationality of the society’s benefactors, the directions of its activities, revenues and expenditures have been reproduced. The activities of the society were aimed at supporting Bulgarian Orthodox churches, providing scholarships to Bulgarian pupils, purchase and sending of church and secular literature to Bulgaria, translation and publication of books in Bulgarian. In the second half of the 1870s, the Board of Trustees allocated significant funds for the uniforms of Bulgarian volunteers, the formation of a militia of Bulgarians fleeing to Odessa after the Serbo-Turkish War and their military training in army regiments, the purchase of weapons, and assistance to soldiers. It is noted that the Board of Trustees became an important center of patronage and education and maintained ties with other charitable societies in the South of Ukraine, as well as with all-Russian and Bulgarian societies. Bulgaria’s position in the First World War led to the liquidation of all Bulgarian charitable societies in southern Ukraine by the imperial government. It is noted that Bulgarians were not co-opted into the society of Southern Ukraine and focused most of their efforts on helping Balkan compatriots, training teachers for Bulgarian schools, and not on the development of Bulgarian education in the South of Ukraine.
Erasmus Darwin e a Árvore da Vida
Authors: Salgado Neto Geraldo
Published: October 2021

No século XVIII, Erasmus Darwin propôs a transmutação das espécies e as leis da vida orgânica (seleção artificial, natural e sexual), porém a ideia não foi compreendida na época. Além disso, sua figura tem sido pouco explorada e discutida pelos historiadores da ciência. O objetivo deste artigo não é só discutir os aspectos em que ele se baseava, seguindo conceitos de Jean-Jacques Russeau, Adam Smith e de David Hume, mas também as contribuições do próprio Erasmus Darwin.

PENGEMBANGANAN KURIKULUM SEKOLAH MINGGU
Authors: Ratag Adolf Edwin
Published: October 2021

Anak-anak adalah pribadi yang sangat penting. Siapa mereka di masa depan, dan Gereja di masa depan sangat ditentukan oleh bagaimana kita melayani anak-anak di masa kini; karena itu pelayanan kepada mereka tidak boleh dianggap remeh. Kurikulum merupakan salah satu hal yang sangat penting dalam proses mempersiapkan dan memantapkan kapasitas anak, baik secara mental maupun secara spiritual. Visi dan misi gereja sangat penting menjadi acuan dalam menyusun kurikulum Sekolah Minggu. Namun demikian, ada 5 faktor yang menjadi alasan yang perlu dipertimbangkan, yaitu alasan teologis, paedagogis, keadaan, kebudayaan dan misioner. Kurikulum dikembangkan berdasarkan keyakinan bahwa Alkitab adalah firman Allah, sehingga memuat sebanyak mungkin isi Alkitab; disusun dengan mempertimbangkan perkembangan jiwa anak; dan memikiran metode yang kreatif, bervariasi dan menarik. Penyusunan kurikulum sangat berhubungan dengan dua pertanyaan penting: Siapa? Apa? Para penyusun kurikulum harus bertanya: Untuk siapa? Untuk mereka yang bagaimana?Untuk mereka yang dimana?Kontennya apa?Untuk kapan? Khusus pertanyaan yang terakhir berkaitan erat dengan kalender gerejawi Hal yang terpenting dalam penyusunan kurikulum adalah anak-anak itu sendiri.

Since God formed His people, He wants His people to have a life that is just to Him. Not only for them as parents, but also for children as the next generation of the nation. Teaching children from the time they are young is a must for the people of God. Teaching children is a command from God Himself. Through these verses God commands parents to give earnest instruction to their children. God's purpose in giving this commandment is for God to become a people who really have a real life before His people. Becoming a parent describes what was before. When the children entrusted by God begin to grow up, parents are faced with various personalities. Many parents raise their children without having a good understanding, thus causing the children not to get the correct directions. The book of Deuteronomy 6:1-19 provides a simple but biblical way of teaching children that parents can easily apply to their children, in every opportunity the family has. Few families before had deep understanding experienced many experiences in their children's lives. But in the past 20 years or so, many families have experienced these photos in their children's lives as parents learn to apply the teaching methods taught by the Bible.  AbstrakSejak Allah membentuk umatNya, Dia menginginkan umatNya tersebut memilki hidup yang berkenan kepadaNya. Tidak hanya bagi mereka sebagai orang tua, tetapi juga bagi anak-anak sebagai generasi penerus bangsa. Mengajar anak sejak mereka masih kecil merupakan keharusan bagi umat Allah tersebut. Mengajar anak adalah perintah dari Allah sendiri. Melalui ayat-ayat ini Allah memerintahkan kepada para orang tua agar memberikan pengajaran yang sungguh-sungguh kepada anak-anak mereka. Tujuan Allah memberikan perintah ini adalah agar umat Allah tersebut menjadi umat yang sungguh-sungguh memiliki kehidupan yang benar dihadapanNya. Menjadi orang tua tidaklah semudah apa yang dipi-kirkan sebelumnya. Ketika anak-anak yang dipercayakan oleh Tuhan mulai beranjak dewa-sa, beragam persolan yang dihadapi baik oleh orang tua. Banyak orang tua yang membe-sarkan anak-anaknya tanpa memiliki pemahaman yang baik, sehingga menyebabkan anak-anak tidak memperoleh arahan-arahan yang benar. Ulangan 6:1-19 memberikan cara meng-ajar anak yang sederhana tetapi Alkitabiah yang dengan mudah diterapkan oleh para orang tua kepada anak-anak, dalam setiap kesempatan  yang dimiliki oleh keluarga yang ada. Beberapa keluarga sebelum memiliki pemahaman ini banyak mengalami kekacauan dalam kehidupan anak-anak mereka. Tetapi dalam kurun waktu kurang lebih 20 tahun, banyak keluarga mengalami pembaharuan dalam kehidupan anak-anak oleh karena orang tua belajar untuk menerapkan cara mengajar yang dijarakan oleh Alkitab.
DESIGN AND EVALUATION OF EUDRAGIT COATED LOSARTAN POTASSIUM CONTROLLED RELEASE PELLETS BY PAN COATING TECHNIQUE

The present investigation was focused on the development and evaluation of controlled release pellets of losartan potassium with Eudragit S 100 and hydroxypropyl methyl cellulose phthalate (HPMCP) by employing pan coating technique. Eudragit S 100, a high viscosity grade controlled release polymer, was mainly used as coating agent for regulating the drug release from pellets. HPMCP, an enteric coating polymer was used in the present study to regulate the drug release at varied G.I. pH conditions. The prepared pellets were evaluated for particle size, drug content, friability and for in vitro drug release. The formulations were further characterized to identify any possible interactions by FTIR spectroscopy and differential scanning calorimetry. The surface morphology of the pellets was studied by scanning electron microscopy. From the results it was observed that due to increase in the concentration of Eudragit the drug release was extended up to 12 hours. The increase in the HPMCP polymeric concentration in formulations showed initial delay in drug release.
