THE USE OF DEROGATING AND DEROGATED AYATS (EN-NASIHU VEL-MENSUH) IN MEHMED HANDZIC`S INTERPRETATION OF THE QUR`AN
Authors: Mehtić Halil
Published: November 2023

Reviewing Handžić`s interpretation of the Holy Qur`an and particularly the interpretation of Surah al-Baqarah and en-Nisa, we were able to verify the methodology that was followed. A general observation reveals that he based his methodology on nine principles. Among these principles he highly places derogating (nasih) and derogated (mensuh) ayats.
Emphasizing the importance of knowing this taffsir branches in his "Introduction to Taffsir and Hadith science" Handzic points out that in Taffsir it is important to know derogating (nasih)and derogated (mensuh) ayats. He further explains that mensuh ayats are those ayats that contain shari'a regulations which were valid only for a limited time, and nasih ayats are those ayats that contain shari'a regulations which ruled out those temporary regulations contained in mensuh ayats. Shari'a regulations that are the part of nasih ayats are permanent and for all time.
In this paper, we have selected a few examples that clearly illustrate the necessary principle which Handžić used in his interpretation of proper understanding of God's word.

Published: November 2023

As arboviroses são doenças transmitidas por arbovírus, como o da dengue, Zika vírus, febre chikungunya e febre amarela. Essas doenças representam uma ameaça global à saúde pública, com diversos fatores que contribuem para a sua disseminação. Deste modo as mudanças climáticas drásticas afetam a propagação dos vetores, como mosquitos, e criam condições ideais para sua reprodução. O processo de urbanização rápido também contribui, pois leva ao desmatamento e ao acúmulo de água, criando ambientes propícios para a proliferação desses vetores. No Brasil, seu clima tropical e vastas áreas de floresta, proporciona um ambiente propício para a existência de vetores e a ocorrência de arboviroses. As doenças mais comuns no país incluem a dengue, febre chikungunya, zika vírus e febre amarela, com a dengue sendo a mais prevalente nas áreas urbanas. No ano de 2023, houve um alarmante aumento de casos de dengue em comparação com o ano anterior, com um crescimento de 30% no número de casos prováveis em todo o país. O estado do Pará viu um aumento significativo nos casos de dengue, chikungunya e Zika em relação ao ano anterior, destacando a gravidade do problema. Sendo assim o presente trabalho tem como objetivo realizar uma análise abrangente da prevalência das arboviroses mais comuns presentes na Região de Saúde do Araguaia, no Estado do Pará, durante o período de 2015 a 2023 por meio do registro no Departamento de Informática do Sistema Único de Saúde (DATASUS).

PSICOMOTRICIDADE E NEUROCIÊNCIA NA PRÁTICA PEDAGÓGICA NAS SÉRIES INICIAIS DO ENSINO FUNDAMENTAL
Authors: Martins Tiago Piñeiro
Published: November 2023

A neurociência no campo da educação tem, contemporaneamente, apresentado importantes avanços nas descobertas acerca de como os processos mentais acontecem, quais estruturas estão envolvidas nos mecanismos de aprendizagens e quais as influências das emoções para a formação de memórias que ajudam a consolidar a aprendizagem, e com isso, uma intensa busca por respostas para os déficits que acometem todo esse processo. O objetivo dessa pesquisa é buscar compreensões acerca da neurociência e da psicomotricidade aplicada na prática pedagógica nas séries iniciais do ensino fundamental. Foi realizada uma revisão sistemática de literatura, considerando critérios para inclusão, aqueles artigos e livros que contemplavam a temática, e critérios de exclusão, artigos que abordavam as concepções de neurociências e educação, mas não estabeleciam relação direta com o contexto da aprendizagem por meio da psicomotricidade. A ideia de aprofundar os conhecimentos sobre a forma com que a neurociências interage com a educação, principalmente no tratar com psicomotridade nas séries iniciais do ensino fundamental. Portanto, considera-se que a Psicomotricidade e a Neurociências na educação, conjuntamente, conseguem identificar os fatores que interferem no processo ensino/aprendizagem, ainda mais quando tratados à partir de estados emocionais não congruentes com aqueles esperados para que a aprendizagem ocorra.

Authors: Coelho Larysse Costa , Silva Tairony de Melo
Published: November 2023

O presente trabalho aborda a possibilidade da aplicação da qualificadora do feminicídio as mulheres transexuais de acordo com a legislação brasileira, em particular, a Lei 13.104/15, conhecida como a Lei do Feminicídio. O feminicídio é definido como homicídio cometido contra mulheres devido à sua condição de gênero, mas a lei utiliza o termo "sexo feminino", o que levanta debates sobre sua aplicação a mulheres transexuais. As discussões envolvem diferentes perspectivas, como critérios jurídicos, biológicos e psicológicos para reconhecer a identidade de gênero das transexuais. Além disso, dados alarmantes sobre a violência contra travestis e mulheres trans no Brasil são destacados, ressaltando a importância de garantir os direitos dessas pessoas em conformidade com o princípio da dignidade da pessoa humana. O artigo também examina as correntes doutrinárias que discutem a aplicação da qualificadora de feminicídio às mulheres transexuais, enfatizando a evolução do direito e a necessidade de conscientização sobre questões de gênero e identidade. Em última análise, a abordagem legal em relação ao feminicídio e às mulheres transexuais é um tópico em constante evolução e debate no contexto dos direitos humanos e da justiça de gênero.

Published: November 2023

Abstract. Long-term records of burned area are needed to understand wildfire dynamics, assess fire impacts on ecosystems and air quality, and improve fire forecasts. Here, we fuse multiple streams of remote sensing data to create a 24 year (1997–2020) dataset of monthly burned area as a component of the fifth version of the Global Fire Emissions Database (GFED5). During 2001–2020, we use the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) MCD64A1 burned area product and adjust for the errors of commission and omission. Adjustment factors are estimated based on region, land cover, and tree cover fraction, using spatiotemporally aligned burned area from Landsat or Sentinel-2. Burned area in croplands, peatlands, and deforestation regions is estimated from MODIS active fire detections. Along-Track Scanning Radiometer (ATSR) and Visible and Infrared Scanner (VIRS) active fire data are used to extend the time series back to 1997. The global annual burned area during 2001–2020 is estimated to be 774 ± 63 Mha yr−1 or 5.9 ± 0.5 % of ice-free land. Burned area declined by 1.21 ± 0.66 % yr−1, a cumulative decrease of 24.2 ± 13.2 % over 20 years. The global reduction is primarily driven by a decrease in fires in savannas, grasslands, and croplands. Forest, peat, and deforestation fires did not exhibit significant long-term trends. The GFED5 global burned area is 93 % higher than MCD64A1, 61 % higher than GFED4s, and in closer agreement with products from higher-resolution satellite sensors. These data may reduce discrepancies between fire emission estimates from activity-based and atmospheric-based approaches, and improve our understanding of global fire impacts on the carbon cycle and climate system. The GFED5 global burned area product is freely accessible at https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.7668423 (Chen et al., 2023).
Application of cell mapping to control optimization for an antenna servo system on a disturbed carrier
Authors: Tian Zhui , Cheng Yongdong
Published: November 2023

Abstract. The cell-mapping method, due to its global optimality, has been applied to solve multi-objective optimization problems (MOPs) and optimal control problems. However, the curse of dimensionality limits its application in high-dimensional systems. In this paper, the multi-parameter sensitivity analysis is investigated to reduce the parameter space dimension, which broadens the application of cell mapping to MOPs in high-dimensional parameter space. A post-processing algorithm for MOPs is introduced to help choose proper control parameters from the Pareto set. The proposed scheme is applied successfully in the control parameter optimization of an adaptive nonsingular terminal sliding-mode control for an antenna servo system on a disturbed carrier. Moreover, as the existing global optimal tracking control with an adjoining cell-mapping method may generate tracking-phase differences, an optimal-sliding-mode combined-control strategy is proposed. By using the combined-control strategy, the azimuth and pitch angles of the antenna system are controlled to catch up to a target trajectory with the minimum cost function and to keep high-precision tracking after that.

Published: November 2023

Abstract. Disaster risk reduction education (DRRE) is a strategy to mitigate the harmful effects of disasters. The implementation of DRRE in schools is on the rise, and web geographic information system (GIS) technology in DRRE is becoming increasingly prevalent. However, little knowledge exists about whether students can improve their understanding of disaster risk reduction (DRR) through web GIS technology and which factors affect their learning of web hazard maps. This study has provided materials and curricula for DRR education in Chinese and Japanese high schools and utilized them eight times in the classroom between 2020 and 2022. These classes had three forms of implementation due to the COVID-19 pandemic: online, on-site and online–on-site mixed. The students first answered a pretest. Then they learned about DRR using the explanatory web pages and the web hazard maps by answering quizzes shown on the pages. After that, they answered a posttest and a questionnaire. Most students exhibit improved results after utilizing the digital DRR materials. This improvement is pronounced for the on-site implementations, while the mixed online–on-site implementation proves less effective. The pretest scores for the implementations using local disaster cases are low, but the subsequent improvement is significant. The ability of students to utilize electronic devices affects the learning of GIS-related content rather than other aspects. The daily use of online maps and attention to disaster prevention and mitigation affect the learning of all the materials. Increasing the use of online hazard maps is key to realizing social DRR.

Authors:   , Etebar Fazeleh
Published: November 2023

This thesis explores the diversity and adaptation of tissue resident immune cells in the central nervous system (CNS) and its supporting tissues. The study focuses on microglia within different regions of the healthy mouse CNS, revealing significant phenotypic and transcriptional variations. Transcriptomic analysis shows distinct profiles for microglia in various CNS regions, including classical homeostatic and non-homeostatic subtypes. Moreover, the research extends to the pia mater and choroid, uncovering diverse immune cell populations with tissue-specific gene expression profiles in these CNS-supporting tissues. The findings enhance our understanding of CNS immunobiology and its potential implications for immune-mediated neurological and ocular diseases.
La présence de Rome dans les récits portugais de la constitution de l’Estado da Índia
Authors: Loureiro Rui Manuel
Published: November 2023

L’établissement de la présence portugaise en Asie, au cours des premières décennies du seizième siècle, est accompagné d’une constante production textuelle. Une large masse documentaire – produite par des fonctionnaires civils et militaires, des marchands au service d’entreprises privées, des religieux appartenant à différents ordres, de simples voyageurs et aventuriers, des humanistes et idéologues au service de la couronne lusitanienne – témoigne de la naissance de l'Estado da Índia. Dans la constitution des empires européens de la première modernité, mêmes de ceux qui, comme le portugais, ont une configuration essentiellement maritime, on donne pour acquise l’ombre de Rome. Les sources portugaises de la première moitié du seizième siècle permettent-elles de confirmer cette hypothèse? Le propos de cet article est de vérifier cette hypothèse en cherchant la présence de Rome dans les récits portugais de la constitution de l’Estado da Índia.

Le 16e siècle romain correspond au déploiement au long cours de sa connaissance et redéfinition de l’Orient, à la croisée de multiples savoirs et pratiques, savantes ou ordinaires, qui redessinent les liens entre Antiquité et monde contemporain. L’article en propose une lecture qui vise à mettre en lumière une réarticulation des références spatio-temporelles de l’Urbs, espace privilégié d’une confrontation de l’Egypte, construite en pivot de l’Orient ancien, et du Japon, expression du moderne Orient extrême. Il fait l’hypothèse que cette confrontation ouvre des voies de compréhension nouvelles aux processus de production des savoirs dans la capitale pontificale.
Un’Avis Japonica in Vaticano? La natura dell’Oriente nella Roma del tardo Cinquecento
Authors: Andretta Elisa
Published: November 2023

L’articolo si interroga sul rapporto tra la Roma tardo cinquecentesca e la natura di un Oriente estremo, a partire dal caso dell’arrivo nella città di un esemplare femminile di un raro volatile, troppo rapidamente battezzato dal medico pontificio Michele Mercati Avis Japonica. In un primo tempo, la riflessione si concentra sulla presenza e il significato di questo uccello all’interno del mondo epistemologico e geopolitico che Mercati definisce dal Vaticano tra lo spazio di un museo e le pagine di un libro che portano entrambi il nome di Metallotheca. Quindi, seguendo le tracce di altri uccelli che presentavano caratteristiche identiche all’Avis detta Japonica tra le historiae, le rappresentazioni e le collezioni naturalistiche dell’Europa del tempo, l’analisi si sofferma sulle difficoltà e le implicazioni epistemologiche, simboliche e politiche che lo studio della natura di mondi lontani poteva assumere nella Roma dei papi.

Published: November 2023

Purpose: Urinary stones cause lateral abdominal pain and are a prevalent condition among younger age groups. The diagnosis typically involves assessing symptoms, conducting physical examinations, performing urine tests, and utilizing radiological imaging. Artificial intelligence models have demonstrated remarkable capabilities in detecting stones. However, due to insufficient datasets, the performance of these models has not reached a level suitable for practical application. Consequently, this study introduces a vision transformer (ViT)-based pipeline for detecting urinary stones, using computed tomography images with augmentation.Methods: The super-resolution convolutional neural network (SRCNN) model was employed to enhance the resolution of a given dataset, followed by data augmentation using CycleGAN. Subsequently, the ViT model facilitated the detection and classification of urinary tract stones. The model’s performance was evaluated using accuracy, precision, and recall as metrics.Results: The deep learning model based on ViT showed superior performance compared to other existing models. Furthermore, the performance increased with the size of the backbone model.Conclusions: The study proposes a way to utilize medical data to improve the diagnosis of urinary tract stones. SRCNN was used for data preprocessing to enhance resolution, while CycleGAN was utilized for data augmentation. The ViT model was utilized for stone detection, and its performance was validated through metrics such as accuracy, sensitivity, specificity, and the F1 score. It is anticipated that this research will aid in the early diagnosis and treatment of urinary tract stones, thereby improving the efficiency of medical personnel.

Home Management of Fever in Under-Five Children: Knowledge, Attitude and Practice among Mothers Attending a Paediatric Outpatient Clinic in Port Harcourt, Nigeria
Authors: West Boma Awoala , Wonodi Woroma , Nwosu Gloria
Published: November 2023

Fever is a common problem in children especially in under-fives. Most fevers start outside the hospital thus management of fevers at home may limit complications from febrile illnesses.
This study assessed mothers’ knowledge, attitude and practice of home management of fever in under-five children.
It was a cross-sectional study and data was analyzed using SPSS version 23.
Of 219 respondents, majority were of age group 31-40 years 114(52.1%) and of middle social class 56(50.0%). Most respondents correctly defined fever 165(75.3%), knew the causes of fever 149(68.0%), and the correct site of measurement using a thermometer 114(52.1%) but did not know high body thermometer 132(60.3%). Majority knew fever could be managed at home 184(84.0%) and was harmful 207(94.5%). The commonest source of information about fever was obtained from health workers/hospitals 118(54.9%). more than half of respondents had thermometers 141(64.4%), knew how to use it 136(62.1%) and would measure their child’s temperature at home if fever was suspected 161(73.5%). Most would monitor their child’s temperature at home 191(87.2%), would manage child’s fever at home 171(78.1%), would visit the hospital because of child’s fever 204(93.2%) and would do so within 2-3 days of onset of fever 59(40.1%).
Only about a third of respondents had good knowledge (39.7%) and good practice (33.2%) on the home management of fever in children while about half (59.8%) had good attitude.
Massive enlightenment campaigns on home management of fever should therefore be carried out so as to reduce complications that could arise from unduly high temperature at home.

The use of electronic cigarettes can have adverse effects on health, especially on oral and dental health, even though the vapor from electronic cigarettes does not leave stains on the tooth surface. Electronic cigarettes have a more significant impact on soft tissue damage, such as ulcers in the buccal, gingival, and palatal mucosa or damage to periodontal tissue. The purpose of this study is to determine the relationship between knowledge about the effects of electronic cigarettes on oral and dental health and the use of electronic cigarettes among students at the University of Jember. This study is analytical observational research with a cross-sectional approach using purposive sampling. There is a significant relationship between knowledge about electronic cigarettes' impact on oral and dental health and the use of electronic cigarettes among University of Jember students. This can be attributed to the presence of Propylene Glycol in electronic cigarettes, which has detrimental effects on enamel and soft oral cavity tissues. Hence, there is a connection between knowledge about the impact of electronic cigarettes on oral and dental health and the use of electronic cigarettes among University of Jember students.

Toothbrush is an important aid in maintaining oral health. It helps in eliminating dental plaques, food residues, and stains on the tooth surface. It may also play a significant role in disease transmission. Washing toothbrush before and after use, replacing the toothbrush every 3–4 months, and regular tooth brushing twice a day for 2–3 minutes are some of the practices required for maintenance of toothbrush. The present study was done to compare the knowledge, attitude, and practice of medical and dental students about toothbrush maintenance and use.
Methods: This was a cross-sectional, descriptive study. 385 participants were included in the study after obtaining written informed consent. The questionnaire consisted of 22 questions to assess knowledge, attitude and practice. The responses obtained were statistically analyzed.
Results: Knowledge of dental students was significantly more than medical students. There was significant difference in the attitude of dental and medical students when asked about various factors which affect toothbrush wear (p value - <0.00001. Majority of the dental (90.3%) and medical students (87.5%) brush their teeth twice a day and 60.6% dental and 54.5% medical students are in the practice of changing their toothbrush every 3 months. Most students are in the practice of washing their toothbrush before and after brushing. About 76% students were of the opinion that disinfection is necessary but only about 46% students disinfect their toothbrushes regularly.
Conclusion: Knowledge, attitude and practices regarding toothbrush maintenance and use was more in dental students than medical students.

Introduction: Sexual abuse is a crime that is of concern to society. It is particularly more serious when committed against children, many of whom suffer in silence. Sexual abuse among young people has long history in Kenyan. The Sexually abused children often suffer from suicide tendencies, negative self-esteem, low self-efficacy, stigma and discrimination. Reports indicate that most children are sexually abused by people known to them.
Objective: The aim of this study was to identify the determinants of sexual abuse among young people in Kibera slums, Nairobi City County, Kenya.
Methodology: The study adopted an analytical cross-sectional approach to research; using primary data for both quantitative and qualitative analysis. The data was collected by use of questionnaires, FGD and KII interviews guide. Study adopted stratified random sampling technique and systematic sampling was used to identify the villages to select with the help of the administrative officers and saturation method was used to select key informants. Quantitative data was analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics. Chi-square and Fischer’s Exact Test were used to measure association between independent and dependent variables.
Results: At least 102(38.5%) of young people who participated had experienced sexual abuse such as rape/attempted rape (48.8%), forced kisses (41.6%) and forced hugs (41.5%) among girls and sexual violence reported (66.7%) forceful touching of private parts (15.6%) among boys. Divorce (ꭓ2=5.732; df 1; p=0.031), weak laws (p=0.001), and alcohol consumption (p < 0.001) were significantly associated with sexual abuse.
Conclusion: The study reveals high rates of sexual violence among young people in Kibera slums, with females being more affected. The perpetrators are often known to survivors. Cultural factors like denial of legal rights, weak laws, and alcohol consumption contribute to the issue.

En esta ocasión, los docentes en formación de la Escuela Normal Urbana Federal de Tlaxcala “Lic. Emilio Sánchez Piedras” (ENUFT) son quienes participan en la publicación de esta obra con sus ideas sobre lo que representa la resignificación docente. Los diferentes borradores permanentes de este trabajo nos muestran una idea general de lo que representa resignificar: ¿qué significa la docencia?, ¿qué resignifica la docencia?, ¿qué acción resignifica? Parece un juego de conceptos al que los autores nos acercan y a través del cual nos comparten de manera individual el hecho de considerarse docentes, tanto desde su experiencia personal como desde su práctica profesional. El recuento anecdótico que realizan unos contrasta con la concepción del tema que han investigado otros. En los textos se puede leer que algunos tienen la certeza vocacional muy clara, mientras que otros tienen dudas sobre su futuro quehacer en las aulas de educación básica. Eso sí, todos los autores (futuros docentes) asumen ya sus acciones educativas con seriedad y escriben sobre sus debilidades, sus aciertos, sus fortalezas y sus animadversiones.
Improve Bioequivalence predictions with PAMPA Dissolution using Etoricoxib and five other Drug Formulations
Authors: Chou Joe , Lai Roger , Chou Jason , Fu Shelly , Chuan Chung Li
Published: November 2023

In the generic drug formulation development, pilot bioequivalence (BE) study with a small group of subjects is the current practice for oral formulation prediction. However, due to the difficulty in differentiating the variation between subject and drug formulation with the current BE practice，a new instrument called PAMPA Dissolution is proposed to eliminate the subjects variation and to enhance the correlation between in vitro to in vivo absorption in BE study. PAMPA Dissolution simultaneously measures drug dissolution (Cb) and permeation (Pe), following the validated oral drug absorption equation F (drug absorbed) = Cb*Pe*Area. The use of biorelevant media further allows this device to mimic in vivo conditions closely. Formulations of 60 mg etoricoxib tablets were studied to verify system reproducibility and BE prediction to demonstrate the potential of PAMPA Dissolution in generic drug development. The BE predictions between generic and brand etoricoxib tablets (test/reference) from this system produced a Cmax value of 99.0% and AUC value of 99.1%, indicating that PAMPA Dissolution predictions conform with bioequivalence results. Other oral formulations of valsartan/hydrochlorothiazide, ezetimibe, telmisartan, and amlodipine were also tested for their permeation (Pe) by PAMPA Dissolution. Results of drug permeation compared to the literature values indicates that the PAMPA Dissolution is reliable and precise in formulation development.

The aim of the present work was the preparation and optimization of mouth-dissolving tablets (MDTs) of Ivabradine hydrochloride by using natural super disintegrants. The tablets were prepared using microcrystalline cellulose as diluent and aspartame as a sweetening agent along with Natural super disintegrants. The natural super disintegrants used in this study were Guar Gum and Banana powder. By using natural superdisintegrants we had saved the environment and protected our bodies from the harmful effect of synthetic superdisintegrants. The tablet was prepared by the direct compression method. The 6mm of punch was used and the tablet weight is 110 mg. The tablets were evaluated for weight variation, hardness, friability, wetting time, disintegration time (DT), and dissolution study. Different concentration of superdisintegrants was used in this formulation as 6%, 8%, and 10%. The three batches of guar gum and 3 batches of banana powder were prepared i.e., a Total of six batches were prepared. From the results obtained, it can be concluded that the tablet formulation prepared with 10% banana powder i.e., 10 mg showed fast and higher drug release (98.66%) during in vitro dissolution study. Also, the hardness, friability, dissolution rate, and assay of prepared tablets (batch F6) were found to be acceptable according to standard limits. The result was the F6 batch was optimized batch from all the batches.

Published: November 2023

Mouth dissolving films (MDFs) of captopril were developed using natural polymers, including pectin, sodium alginate, and guar gum, in combination with the plasticizer polyethylene glycol 400 (PEG 400) and other ingredients like saliva stimulating agent, sweetener and super disintegrator etc. A total of nine formulations were prepared using different concentrations of the polymers by the solvent casting method. The objective of the study was to evaluate the suitability of these polymers and the effect of polymer concentration on the performance of the MDFs. The MDFs were evaluated based on various parameters, including folding endurance, dissolution, and disintegration studies. Among the different formulations, batch F4, which contained 50% (w/w) pectin as the polymer and 17% (w/w) PEG 400 as the plasticizer, exhibited satisfactory results. The folding endurance test indicated that batch F4 had good flexibility and strength, suggesting that it could withstand repeated folding without breaking or cracking. The in vitro dissolution study revealed that the MDFs of batch F4 exhibited rapid and complete drug release in 6 min, indicating their potential for enhanced drug delivery. The disintegration study further confirmed that the MDFs disintegrated within a short time, ensuring rapid disintegration and dissolution of the drug in the oral cavity.

The anti-inflammatory activity of Indian strawberry leaves is 0.31 percent DAI. For the treatment of inflammation, gel formulations are selected as effective penetration agents. The purpose of this work was to manufacture and test a pharmaceutically stable gel formulation of ethanol extract of Indian strawberry (Duchesnea indica (Jacks.) Focke] leaf with anti-inflammatory properties. This experimental study approach involved developing four formulas: F1 with 3% NaCMC, F2 with 4% NaCMC, F3 with 8% HPMC, and F4 with 9% HPMC. Then, the next test was evaluate the physical stability of the formulation using the following test parameters: organoleptic, pH, homogeneity, spreadability, and viscosity at 5°C and 35°C. The organoleptic test revealed that there was no difference between the four formulae in the color, odor, and consistency series. Each of the pH formulae that passed the pH test were suitable for topical application to the skin. For the homogeneity test all formulas are homogeneous. The best dispersion for the dispersion test was found in formulas 2, 3, and 4. Based on the rheogram, F1, F2, F3, and F4 had pseudoplastic flow characteristics. According to the results of the research conducted, the ethanol extract of Indian strawberry leaves can be formed into gel formulations based on HPMC and NaCMC. The gel formulation formula for ethanol extract of Indian strawberry leaves is pharmaceutically stable.
