Published: January 2023

Generic drugs are less expensive than innovator drugs, and their proliferation has become a problem in low-income countries. They need to be therapeutically and pharmaceutically equivalent to the innovator. Levocetirizine dihydrochloride is an effective drug for relieving the signs of chronic urticaria, perennial allergic rhinitis, and seasonal allergic rhinitis. Our investigation into this drug in private pharmacies in Aden, Yemen, revealed that it is sold under the names of 28 brands from different countries of origin. Because of this, it is difficult for medical professionals and patients who use this medication without a prescription to select a suitable, safe, and cost-effective drug product. We assessed the quality and equivalency of six different brands of levocetirizine dihydrochloride film-coated tablets and assigned codes A, B, C, D, E, and F, with Brand A serving as the reference. The UV analytical method was evaluated for quantifying the drug from the tablets. The results indicated that it was accurate and precise. The tablets were evaluated for weight variation, thickness, hardness, friability, drug content, disintegration time, and dissolution. In order to compare the drug's dissolving profiles, the difference factor (f1) and similarity factor (f2) were used. For all six brands, the physicochemical parameter results met the acceptable limits. All six brands showed evidence of dissolving within 15 minutes, with values ranging from 80.05 ±0.81 to 103.83 ±0.90 which were within the recommended value of 80% within 30 minutes for oral solid dosage forms intended for immediate release. According to the f1 and f2 results, only brands B, D, and E were comparable to brand A and could be used interchangeably. In conclusion, four of the six brands are interchangeable. For high-quality public health, a thorough analysis and ongoing monitoring are needed to ascertain the quality and equivalency of the medications marketed under various brands.

Estimating the Effects of Monetary Policy in Australia Using Sign-restricted Structural Vector Autoregressions
Authors:   Reserve Bank of Australia, Read Matthew
Published: January 2023

Existing estimates of the macroeconomic effects of Australian monetary policy tend to be based on strong, potentially contentious, assumptions. I estimate these effects under weaker assumptions. Specifically, I estimate a structural vector autoregression identified using a variety of sign restrictions, including restrictions on impulse responses to a monetary policy shock, the monetary policy reaction function, and the relationship between the monetary policy shock and a proxy for this shock. I use an approach to Bayesian inference that accounts for the problem of posterior sensitivity to the choice of prior that arises in this setting, which turns out to be important. Some sets of identifying restrictions are not particularly informative about the effects of monetary policy. However, combining the restrictions allows us to draw some useful inferences. There is robust evidence that an increase in the cash rate lowers output and consumer prices at horizons beyond a year or so. The results are consistent with the macroeconomic effects of a 100 basis point increase in the cash rate lying towards the upper end of the range of existing estimates.

Authors:   ICAR-Indian Agricultural Research Institute, New Delhi-110 012 India, REKWAR RAVINDRA KUMAR
Published: January 2023

The present study was conducted using soil profiles of Jorhat district under different land use systems (LUS) i.e. Bamboo field, tea plantation and rainfed rice. The total soil organic carbon content at 0-15 cm depth varied from 7.86 to 8.43 g kg-1, wherein rainfed rice land use system recorded significantly higher total organic carbon (TOC) than tea plantation but at par with that of bamboo field. However, at 15-30, 30-60 and 60-100 cm soil depths bamboo field recorded significantly higher over other land use systems. Among these LUS, rainfed rice showed significantly higher very labile carbon (CVL) in soil than tea plantation and bamboo field at 0-15 cm depth whereas in 15-30 cm depth CVL in tea plantation was found to be significantly higher than bamboo field and rainfed rice. However, Bamboo field and tea plantation had CVL significantly higher than rainfed rice under 30-60 and 60-100 cm depths, respectively. In all the depths, labile carbon pool (CL) was significantly higher in bamboo field ranging from 1.01 to 1.67 g kg-1 whereas under bamboo field, less labile carbon (CLL) pool 0-15, 15-30 and 30-60 cm depths was significantly higher than tea plantation and rainfed rice soils. However, the recalcitrant carbon (CR) pool did not vary significantly among different LUS. Soil organic carbon stock in soil at 0-15 cm depth was found to be significantly higher in rainfed rice soil than tea plantation and bamboo field whereas in the remaining depths the SOC stock was significantly higher under bamboo field. Moreover, the interaction between LUS and depths varied significantly. Among different fractions (CL, CLL, CVL and CR fractions), CR fraction had the smallest variation among land uses, which indicate that the non-labile fraction was less sensitive to land use systems.

Published: January 2023

An experiment was carried out at village Bajju, Bikaner, (Rajasthan) during kharif season of 2016 to evaluate the effect of irrigation and nitrogen levels on groundnut and clusterbean. The treatments comprised of 3 levels of irrigation i.e. 250, 500 and 700 mm for groundnut and 100, 200 an 300 mm for clusterbean and 4 levels of nitrogen i.e. 0, 20, 40 and 60 kg N ha-1 for both the crops. These treatments were evaluated in split plot design with four replications. The results showed that increasing levels of irrigation had significant beneficial influence on the kernel/pod/seed and haulm/stover yield, nitrogen uptake by kernel/seed and haulm/stover and water productivity of groundnut and clusterbean. Application of nitrogen levels significantly enhanced the kernel/pod/seed and haulm/stover yield, nitrogen uptake by both the crops and total water productivity of groundnut and clusterbean. The increase in kernel, pod and haulm yield of groundnut with 40 kg N ha-1 were 49.6, 57.0 and 39.3 per cent over control and 15.9, 15.6 and 14.7 per cent over 20 kg N ha-1, respectively. Similarly, the increase in seed and straw yield of clusterbean with 40 kg N ha-1 were 47.3 and 37.2 per cent over control and 14.0 and 14.1 per cent over 20 kg N ha-1, respectively. Interaction of irrigation and nitrogen had significant beneficial effect on yield, nitrogen uptake and water productivity of groundnut and clusterbean and maximum values of these parameters were recorded under I3 N3 treatment in both the crops.

Published: January 2023

The breeding programmes of floricultural crops lay prime stress on adding colour variability in the existing pool along with retention of other important vegetative and reproductive traits of the crop. The evaluation of accessions produced in breeding programmes of pansy in the Department of Floriculture and Landscaping, Punjab Agricultural University, Ludhiana during the year 2019-21was conducted with twenty accessions for vegetative and flowering traits. Maximum plant height was recorded in A-12 (37.4 cm), maximum plant spread in A-13 (42.1 cm) and highest number of branches in A-11 (21.6). The accession A-5 took maximum number of days (63.9days) for flowering whereas the minimum number of days for flowering (56.5 days) was taken by accession A-14. Among all the tested accessions, the maximum duration of flowering was recorded in A-5 (96.1 days). Amongst the pansy accessions, A-11 was maximum flower producing (91.1), while A-3 produced the largest flowers (4.8cm) and flower from A-20 had longest stalk (11 cm). Correlation analysis further showed that the number of flowers per plant was affected by plant vegetative traits (plant height,spread and number of branches). Cluster analysis based on morphological data divided the accessions into three groups. These variations might help in classifying pansy for pot cultivation, bedding and exhibition purposes, which could be beneficial for breeders and growers.

APPROACH
Authors: Putra Pangestu G Desthyo , Soewardikoen Didit Widiatmoko
Published: January 2023

Along with the times in various aspects, developments also occur in buildings where Muslims worship, namely mosques, especially in the rest area. Developments in factors of value and meaning that affect parts of the function are no longer a place of worship but also a place of temporary rest and commerce by residents around the mosque area. The impact of this phenomenon raises the assumption that there will be an increase in visitors at a particular time and space so that the mosque's capacity is not sufficient. One of the affected space elements is space circulation so that space users will have limited space. That raises the question of whether the circulation aspect will be affected by this phenomenon. As a response to this phenomenon, a design thinking approach is used at the empathize stage as an initial effort to find out the needs and desires of space users from problems that occur using participatory observation and structured interviews. The research results at this stage can obtain accurate and valid information through the analysis process to be defined at the next stage of design thinking.

Published: January 2023

Thailand. Its lower section (“tin chok”) is a woven fabric comprising frieze patterns. Harmonised Shape Grammar (HSG) can assist in the design process to achieve harmonized and meaningful designs. We developed the generic framework of HSG to suit a specific context, so that the pattern sets in “tin chok” can be regenerated. We applied this framework to six pattern sets decoded from vintage skirts. This framework consists of five levels of analysis (identifying shape elements, identifying fundamental units, identifying/ understanding a set of rules, generating frieze patterns, arranging frieze patterns on the design structure). We find that their shape elements can be classified into trilateral shapes and quadrilateral shapes. There are 24 fundamental units confined to rectangular spaces. “Tin chok” is designed to have four parts: a main part, two supplementary parts and a hem. By applying the rules of seven frieze groups, a fundamental unit for each part can be generated to seven design derivations. There are 28 possibilities for design derivations per set. However, only 12 possibilities for design derivations appear. Among these, only three out of seven frieze groups are employed.
