Authors: AFROSE AFRINA , T. WHITE EDWARD , RASHID MD ABDUR , HOWES TONY , ALHAMHOOM YAHYA
Published: March 2022

Objective: The objective of this study was to determine the effect of some commonly used pharmaceutical excipients on the solubility of Ibuprofen (Ibu) in a co-solvent consisting of water (W) and ethanol (E). 
Methods: The Ibu solubility studies were carried out by dissolving the drug to equilibrium into aqueous ethanol solvents at a fixed temperature. The temperature of the water bath was kept constant (±0.1 °C of the desired temperatures 10, 25 and 40 °C). The solubility of Ibu was measured by using UV spectrophotometry. 
Results: The low solubility (~ 50 ppm) of Ibu without excipients in water (zero ethanol) was observed. However, Ibu solubility was increased near exponentially with excipient containing co-solvent system. The maximum solubility of Ibu (1726 ppm) was occurred in a co-solvent containing 1.52% leucine, 5.22% mannitol, 0.25% HPMC, 1.55% Pl F127 and 10.75% w/w ethanol. The phase separation between 34% and 63% w/w E/(E+W) was observed at 40 °C. The individual effect of Pl F127 on enhancing the Ibu solubility was significant. 
Conclusion: The individual addition of leucine, mannitol and HPMC has limited impact on the solubility of Ibu. However, the effect of combining these excipients together on Ibu solubility is significantly high.

Published: March 2022

Abstract: The Indian population is highly dependent on agriculture for vegetables, fruits, grains, natural textile fibres like cotton, jute, and many more. Also, the agricultural sector plays a vital role in the economic growth of the country. The agriculture sector is contributing around 19.9 percent since 2020-2021. As a result, agricultural production in India has a significant impact on employment. The soil in India has been in use for thousands of years, resulting in depletion and exhaustion of nutrients and minerals, which leads to a reduction of crop yield. Also, there is a lack of modern applications, which causes a need for precision agriculture. Precision Agriculture, also known as Satellite farming is a series of strategies and tools to manage farms based on observing, measuring, and responding to crop variability both within and between fields. One of the main applications of precision agriculture is the recommendation of accurate crops. It helps in increasing crop yield and gaining profits. This paper aims to review and analyse the implementation and performance of various methodologies on crop recommendation systems. Keywords: Machine Learning, Precision Agriculture, Crop Recommendation System, Classification.

Authors: Ramana Yalla Taraka Venkata , Panda Bighneswar , Rao B Jeevana , Doddi Bhaskara Rao
Published: March 2022

Abstract: In this paper, slice level optimization is performed on the conventional 6:3 counter and then finally integrated all the slices to the original one. Slice level optimization corresponds to partition the given circuit in to number of blocks such that final integration can be done effectively. Considering individual blocks Power testing and delay testing, results were taken by triggering the activities which lead to power consumption and all possible critical paths were also tested for every individual block and then comparison is made. Test vectors are also applied such that every consecutive cycle output is complemented, so that low to high and high to low delays can be captured with in a smaller number of test vectors. Identical strategy is applied to measure the power because for every two cycles only one power consuming event occurs on a single node under consideration. The proposed 6:3 counter is 36% faster than the conventional one and also saves the power for about 56%. Utilizing more NAND, NOR and AOI gates instead of AND, OR gates have led to the achieved optimization. Keywords: Counter, Delay Testing, Power Testing, Slice level Optimization, Test Vectors

Published: March 2022

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the company's initial distribution channel for distribution optimization to reduce the high distribution costs of PT Petrokimia Gresik. Petroganic fertilizer is one of the company's products, which currently increases its production, so it is necessary to implement a good distribution system to optimize transportation costs. The analytical tool used is the transportation method, where the company's initial allocation is recalculated using the Least Cost method, double-checking to find out whether it is optimal with the Modified Distribution (MODI) method. From the results of this study, it is known that the company's initial transportation costs incurred by the company when using the Least Cost method, there is cost transmission and optimization with the Modified Distribution method resulting in an optimal cost reduction value. The difference in distribution costs was obtained by 11.7% of the total costs incurred. The suggestion is that companies can consider transportation methods as a decision-making policy to optimize costs in their distribution system.

Thrombosis and Thromboprophylaxis in Pediatric Patients Admitted with COVID-19 Infection -- A Prospective Multicenter Observational Cohort Study
Authors: Zabeida Alexandra , Winikoff Rochelle , Pelland-Marcotte Marie-Claude , Charlebois Janie , Sabapathy Christine
Published: March 2022

Background/Objectives: A striking procoagulant state induced by
SARS-CoV-2 (COVID-19) infection has been reported in adults, with many
hospitalized patients developing thrombosis despite prophylactic
anticoagulation. Reports on the characteristics of COVID-19-associated
coagulopathy are scarce in the pediatric population and
thromboprophylaxis use is heterogeneous across pediatric centers. To
characterize laboratory and clinical outcomes of COVID-19-associated
coagulopathy in children and to assess prophylactic anticoagulation use.
Design/Methods: Prospective multicenter observational cohort study
including all patients from 0 to 18 years of age admitted to one of the
pediatric university health centers in the province of Québec, Canada,
with confirmed COVID-19 infection from February 1 to July 1, 2021.
Patient-level data including laboratory parameters, treatment and
outcomes were obtained via chart review. Results: Included were 79
children hospitalized with COVID-19-related symptoms, multisystem
inflammatory syndrome in children or an incidental finding of
asymptomatic infection. When assessed, hemostatic parameters
demonstrated elevation in D-dimers in 94.7%, fibrinogen in 60%,
prothrombin time in 51.9%, and activated thromboplastin time in 18.5%.
Platelet counts were normal in 91.3% of patients. Ten patients (12.3%)
received thromboprophylaxis with low molecular weight heparin, 7 (8.9%)
with aspirin and 1 (1.3%) with both. We observed one thrombosis and one
major bleed, both attributable to an alternate diagnosis other than
COVID-19 infection. Conclusion: The most consistent abnormal hemostatic
parameters observed in this study were elevated D-dimers and fibrinogen.
No thrombosis ascribable to COVID-19 infection has been observed in this
pediatric cohort, despite relatively infrequent anticoagulant
prophylaxis. There have been no bleeding events attributable to
thromboprophylaxis.
X-linked hyper-IgM syndrome with CD40LG mutation presents with pediatric respiratory tract infection
Authors: Fan Huifeng , Huang Li , Yang Diyuan , Zhang Changhao , Zeng Qiang , Yin Gen-Han , Lu Gen , Shen Kunling
Published: March 2022

Background: X-linked hyper-immunoglobulin M (XHIGM), a primary
immunodeficiency syndrome caused by mutations in the CD40 ligand gene,
presents with recurrent respiratory infections in pediatric patients. We
aimed to evaluate the spectrum of clinical features and respiratory
pathogens in pediatric patients with XHIGM in China. Methods: We
retrospectively reviewed seven pediatric patients who were diagnosed
with XHIGM and received follow-up treatment at the Guangzhou Women and
Children’s Medical Center between January 2010 and January 2021. We
determined their clinical characteristics, causative pathogens, and
prognosis by performing peripheral immunological and genetic tests.
Results: The majority of respiratory infections in four of the seven
patients were caused by Talaromyces marneffei. Two patients had viral
infections caused by cytomegalovirus (CMV) and human adenovirus. One
patient had a mixed infection caused by Pneumocystis carinii and CMV.
Except for one child who died of respiratory failure, the other six
patients survived with regular infusions of intravenous immunoglobulin
(IVIg) during the follow-up period. Six patients had reduced antibody
levels, especially IgG, IgA, and IgE levels. Increased serum IgM levels
were detected in four cases, and three cases presented normal IgM levels
at onset. All children were diagnosed with XHIGM with CD40LG variation.
Three novel mutations were identified in the present study. Conclusions:
Our study suggests that fungi and viruses are important pathogens
causing respiratory infections in children with XHIGM. In endemic areas,
children with T. marneffei infections have abnormal Ig levels in their
peripheral blood, suggesting the ease of early gene detection in these
patients.
Investigation of the Effect of Various Ca Content on Microstructure and Mechanical Properties of As-cast ZK60 Magnesium Alloys
Authors: AKBAŞ Aykan , ZEREN Muzaffer
Published: March 2022

The effect of various Ca content on microstructure and mechanical properties of as-cast Mg-6Zn-0.5Zr (wt.%) Mg alloys with hot tensile testing at 345°C were investigated. The alloy was produced with the LPDC method [1]. Microstructural characterization as-cast alloy demonstrated that wt.% Ca content increase, grain size decreases till wt.% 0.8Ca, the further increase affects gradual change in grain size to ~60 µm at 345°C. Therefore, increase in Ca ratio from 0.4 wt% forming to strip-like Mg-Zn intermetallics at grain boundaries, Ca-Mg-Zn ternary phase at grain boundary corners. Dramatical decrease in yield and tensile strength at wt% 1.6Ca addition is 37.6 MPa and 39.7 MPa respectively which is relatively low at 345°C due to the absence of retarded DRX’ed small particles prohibited the grain growth after the TMT process. Conversely, elongation-to-fracture increases were observed as 1.26 at 345°C showing the temperature-dependent texture softening results in improvement of mechanical properties. Wear rate is also affected from wt.% Ca addition so the gradual increase up to 1.2 wt% Ca is 3.70 x 10-3 mm3/m. Similarly, a gradual increase in hardness values was obtained with Ca addition in ZK60 alloy. In this study, the effect of temperature-dependent Ca addition (wt %) on gradual enhancement in mechanical properties was observed at as-cast magnesium alloys.

Published: March 2022

Objective: To investigate the relationship between spastic calf muscles echo intensity and the outcome of tibial nerve motor branches selective block in patients with spastic equinovarus foot.Design: Retrospective observational study. Patients: Forty-eight patients with spastic equinovarus foot.Methods: Each patient was given selective diagnostic nerve block (lidocaine 2% perineural injection) of the tibial nerve motor branches. All patients were evaluated before and after block. Outcomes were: spastic calf muscles echo intensity measured with the Heckmatt scale; affected ankle dorsiflexion passive range of motion; calf muscles spasticity measured with the modified Ashworth scale and the Tardieu scale (grade and angle).Results: Regarding the outcome of tibial nerve selective diagnostic block (difference between pre- and post-block condition), Spearman’s correlation showed a significant inverse association of the spastic calf muscles echo intensity with the affected ankle dorsiflexion passive range of motion (p = 0.045; ρ = 00–0.269), modified Ashworth scale score (p = 0.014; ρ = –0.327), Tardieu grade (p = 0.008; ρ = –0.352) and Tardieu angle (p = 0.043; ρ = –0.306).Conclusion: These findings support the hypothesis that patients with spastic equinovarus foot with higher spastic calf muscles echo intensity have a poor response to selective nerve block of the tibial nerve motor branches.
LAY ABSTRACTThis study reviewed data from 48 patients with spastic equinovarus foot in order to investigate the relationship between spastic calf muscles echo intensity (which indicates the degree of muscular fibrosis) and the outcome of tibial nerve motor branches diagnostic block (which temporarily relieves focal muscle overactivity). Outcome was the response to nerve block as to passive motility of the affected ankle and overactivity of the calf muscles. All patients were evaluated before and after the nerve block. A significant inverse association was found for the outcome of selective diagnostic nerve block of the tibial nerve motor branches with their respectively supplied spastic calf muscles (i.e. gastrocnemius medialis and lateralis, soleus and tibialis posterior) echo intensity. These results support the hypothesis that the degree of spastic muscle fibrosis may reduce the response to selective diagnostic nerve block in patients with spastic equinovarus foot.

In this study, we examine the relation between exchange rate, interest rate, and stock price of manufacturing industries. Despite Engle-Granger procedure and Johansen Criterion, error correction model (ECM) of the two variables is employed to simultaneously estimate the short run and long run dynamics of the variables. Using monthly data covering the May 1996 – September 2003 period, empirical results show that there is a causal relation between variables in the crisis period and before the crisis period. The result of the ECM estimation proves that an increase in stock price of manufacturing industries has a positive effect on the exchange rate, because foreign investors enter the domestic stock market. Depreciation of domestic currency has a negative effect on the stock price. In the crisis period, we can prove that the stock price has a significant effect on the exchange rate variable in the long run. We also prove that the effect of the exchange rate on the stock price only occur in the long run. On the other hand, the result of ECM estimation also proves that an increase in deposit rate has a negative effect on the stock price in the long run and in the short run, because the gain from the deposit would be more than the gain from stock exchange, and we also prove that the stock price of manufacturing industries has a significant effect on the deposit rate variable only in the short run.Keywords: exchange rate, stock price, interest rate, Error Correction Model

Published: March 2022

This article explores neo-liberal economic development concepts on general and criticism on them in the form of alternatives provided. Actually, the concepts themselves have not been openly accepted by the World Bank and the IMF, while since 1990s both international financial institutions have been for several times forcing the application of the concepts in countries that received loan from the institutions. This topic becomes very important since Indonesia has experienced many economic policies which are forcefully driven or demanded by the IMF or the World Bank. Those kind of policies are, for instance, capital liberalization, trade liberalization, privatization, and structural adjustment program. Neo-liberal development concepts are based on liberal economy ideas only, which consist of free market profit and private asset ownership. The concepts have been applied to many developing countries in the form of structural adjustment program package.Keywords: neo-liberal, structural adjustment, liberalization, economic development
PENENTUAN NILAI TUKAR: PENGUJIAN PURCHASING POWER PARITY DI INDONESIA

This paper provides a test of purchasing power parity (PPP) as an explanation for longtermforeign exchange rate movement. We impose symmetry and proportionality restrictions ofPPP to data drawn from the period 1969.1 through 2001.4. The tests are also run for sub-periods. Symmetry and proportionality restrictions find little support for the unit root tests though the Johansen test suggests that foreign exchange rate and inflation rate are linked in a long run sense. Error correction models are then estimated on the basis of the assumption that the United States inflation rate is exogenous. The error correction models result also rejects the PPP.Keywords: purchasing power parity, exchage rate
