Authors: Garipelli Nagaraju , Reddy B Madhava , AV Jithan
Published: August 2020

Clozapine (8-chloro-11- (4-methyl-1-piperazinyl)-5H-dibenzo[b,e][1,4]diazepine) is a dibenzodiazepine derivative, used in the treatment of schizophrenia. The present work aimed to develop a new modified method for the synthesis of clozapine and also impurity profiling which is mandatory by the regulatory bodies. Present synthetic method for clozapine has the advantages over the previous processes in respect of safety, cost and efficiency. Impurity profiling indicated that 8-chloro-10, 11-dihydro-11-oxo-5H-dibenzo [b, e] [1, 4] diazepine, clozapine dimer, desmethyl clozapine, and clozapine N-oxide are very minor impurities in the synthesis of Clozapine. These compounds were confirmed by analytical data. The impurities were also synthesized and evaluated for the neuropharmacological activity. The study revealed that three of four impurities have decreased the locomotor activity in mice, which indicates the similar activity compared to clozapine as antidepressant

Published: August 2020

The current study dealt with the protective role of garlic oil on isoproterenol (ISO)-induced myocardial infarction (MI) in rats. Subcutaneous injection of ISO (20 mg/kg body weight in1ml saline) to rats for 2 consecutive days offered significant alteration in biochemical parameters and moderate necrosis in heart. Effect of garlic oil oral treatment for 60 days (75 mg /kg body weight) was evaluated against ISO (20 mg/kg, sc)-induced cardiac necrosis. Levels of marker enzymes (AST, ALT, LDH and CPK) were assessed in serum, antioxidant parameters viz., reduced glutathione (GSH), and lipid peroxides were assayed in serum and heart homogenate. Significant myocardial necrosis, depletion of endogenous antioxidants and increase in serum levels of marker enzymes were observed in ISO-treated animals when compared with the normal animals. Garlic oil elicited a significant cardio protective activity by lowering the levels of serum marker enzymes and lipid peroxidation and elevated the levels of GSH. The present findings have demonstrated that the cardioprotective effects of garlic oil in ISO-induced oxidative damage may be due to an augmentation of the endogenous antioxidants and inhibition of lipid peroxidation of membrane.

Authors: Basu Biswajit , Garala Kevin , J Thimmasetty
Published: August 2020

Within the oral mucosal cavity, the buccal region offers an attractive route of administration for systemic drug delivery. Pimozide patches were prepared using HPMC (15 & 47 cPs), carbopol 934, poly vinyl alcohol, and poly vinyl pyrolidone. FTIR and UV spectroscopic methods revealed that there is no interaction between pimozide and polymers. The patches were evaluated for their thickness uniformity, folding endurance, weight uniformity, content uniformity, swelling behaviour, tensile strength, and surface pH. In vitro release studies of pimozide-loaded patches in phosphate buffer (pH, 6.6) exhibited drug release in the range of 55.32 % to 97.49 % in 60 min. Data of in vitro release from patches were fit in to different equations and kinetic models to explain release kinetics. The models used were zero and first-order equations, Hixon-Crowell, Higuchi and Korsmeyer-Peppas models. In vivo absorption of pimozide from all the patches ranged from 47.96 % to 83.42 % in 60 min in human volunteers. In vivo studies in rabbits showed 85.97% of drug absorption from HPMC-15 cPs patch in 60 min. Good correlation among in vitro release and in vivo absorption of pimozide was observed
Poems About The Youth Of Sahibkiran Amir Temur
Authors: Ergashev Abdiolim
Published: August 2020

The historical era of Kashkadarya-Surkhandarya has existed since ancient times. In particular, poems about Amir Temur and Babur are widely spread.

Until now, some of the Bakhshi living in this territory have been written and published, such historical epics as" Oichinar", "About Babur", "Birth of Sahibkiran", "Birth and youth of Amir Temur", " Temur and Boyazid", "Great Amir Temur", " Ahmad Yassavi", " Alisher Navoi", "Makhtumkuli".

We wrote and published an epic about the birth and childhood of Amir Temur "the birth of Sahibkiron" from Ruzi Bakhshi Kulturaev, an epic "the birth and youth of Amir Temur" from Chori Bakhshi Umirov.

If both epics concerned the birth of the historical person Amir Temur, his childhood, then widely known fantastic inventions, epic sponsors, characteristic of traditional epics, as well as the image of mythological evil forces.

First of all, when it became known about the birth of Amir Temur, evil forces, ill-wishers in different kingdoms are trying to destroy him both before and after birth. But no matter how hard they try, epic sponsors, holy spirits, teachers are not enough because of their desire to help Temur and mother Teginabegim.

Since Amir Temur's father Taragai Bakhadir went on a long battle journey, he lives with his mother Teginabegim in Amir Chaku's house.

Temur grows from childhood strong, energetic, smart. Since childhood, he captivates the minds of children with various national games. Increased is strength. The poem reflects how he lived through his childhood.

In the Poems about the birth and youth of Amir Temur, the life, successes of that time, and the way of life of the people are well covered. Along with the names of such historical figures and places as Amir Temur and his saints, father, mother, Amir Chaku, Bayonkulikhan Bukhara, Kesh, Zanjisaray in the epic, there are a number of fantastic images.

ABSTRACT: Financial distress is a condition in which the company's financial condition is in an unhealthy state, but has not yet experienced bankruptcy. In Indonesia, several manufacturing companies experience financial instability, manufacturing profits tend to fluctuate, and some companies even experience negative operating income in 2010-2016. Financial distress has a great influence where not only the company will suffer losses but also the stakeholders. One way to predict financial distress is by analyzing financial ratios.  This study aims to analyze the effect of liquidity, profitability, leverage, company size and interest rates on financial distress. This study uses quantitative research methods that have the characteristics associated with numerical and objective. The independent variables in this study are Liquidity (X1), Profitability (X2), Leverage (X3), Company Size (X4), and Interest Rate (X5) and the dependent variable in this study is Financial Distress (Y). The scale used is the ratio and nominal scale. The results of research and discussion show that in partial testing (t test), obtained from the tcount for Liquidity (CR) of 4.324 and the tcount for Profitability (ROA) of 2.441 is greater than the table of 1.989. And the tcount for Company Size is -4,059 smaller than the table value of -1,989. As for the variable Leverage (DAR) and Interest Rates, it has no effect on Financial Distress. The assessment is obtained from the tcount for Leverage (DAR) of -0.350 and the tcount for the Interest Rate of 1.080 is smaller than the table of 1.989. Whereas in simultaneous testing (F test) Liquidity (CR), Profitability (ROA), Leverage (DAR), Company Size and Interest Rates simultaneously affect the Financial Distress. The coefficient of determination obtained by 48.8%, while the remaining 51.2% is influenced by other factors that are ignored by the authors in this study.

Este artigo apresenta aspectos de um estudo de mestrado concluído. Foi constituído pela análise reflexiva de uma das três categorias abertas do estudo, que permanece apresentando abertura para a instauração de um debate pulsante nos dias atuais: a formação de professores num cenário EaD. Atentos ao tema, evidenciou-se o diálogo com docentes de curso EaD orientado pela interrogação: Como o formador de docentes que ensinam Matemática nos anos iniciais se compreende professor em cursos EaD? Buscou-se conhecer os modos como o docente formador de professores que ensinarão matemática na Educação Básica se compreende no movimento de ensinar matemática na modalidade a distância, e no ambiente tecnológico como viabilizador do ensino. Para conseguir respostas utilizou-se a pesquisa qualitativa com abordagem fenomenológica. Realizou-se cinco entrevistas que foram transcritas e analisadas em dois momentos: primeiro, denominado análise ideográfica e segundo, composto pela análise nomotética, momento em que se procurou aspectos significativos que convergiram para a categoria aberta: Formação no curso EaD. Os depoimentos revelaram docentes comprometidos com o ensino e que buscam no cuidado contínuo com seus alunos, inovar nas metodologias, compreender as especificidades do público que atendem, planejar e avaliar de modo distinto, uma vez que compreendem que atendem a um público ímpar e que veem a necessidade de agir contrário ao modelo tradicional.

Photosensitized direct C–H fluorination and trifluoromethylation in organic synthesis
Authors: Yakubov Shahboz , Barham Joshua P
Published: September 2020

The importance of fluorinated products in pharmaceutical and medicinal chemistry has necessitated the development of synthetic fluorination methods, of which direct C–H fluorination is among the most powerful. Despite the challenges and limitations associated with the direct fluorination of unactivated C–H bonds, appreciable advancements in manipulating the selectivity and reactivity have been made, especially via transition metal catalysis and photochemistry. Where transition metal catalysis provides one strategy for C–H bond activation, transition-metal-free photochemical C–H fluorination can provide a complementary selectivity via a radical mechanism that proceeds under milder conditions than thermal radical activation methods. One exciting development in C–F bond formation is the use of small-molecule photosensitizers, allowing the reactions i) to proceed under mild conditions, ii) to be user-friendly, iii) to be cost-effective and iv) to be more amenable to scalability than typical photoredox-catalyzed methods. In this review, we highlight photosensitized C–H fluorination as a recent strategy for the direct and remote activation of C–H (especially C(sp3)–H) bonds. To guide the readers, we present the developing mechanistic understandings of these reactions and exemplify concepts to assist the future planning of reactions.

Authors: E.C Chuku, , A.A Njoku, , F.W Nmom,
Published: August 2020

Research study was carried out to assess the biocidal effect of aqueous extracts of Curcuma longa, Zingiber officinale, Citrus limon peel and synthetic fungicide Mancozeb against Rhizopus stolonifer using the poisoned food technique on PDA. Various concentrations (50, 75, and 100%) of extracts from the rhizomes of C. longa, Z. officinale, the peel of C. limon and Mancozeb (0.002%) significantly inhibited the mycelia growth of R. stolonifer after 3 days. Effects of the synthetic fungicide (Mancozeb) comparative to the plant extracts were also determined. Although the extracts showed varying degrees of antifungal efficacy, 100% concentration of Z. officinale (58.96%) proved to be more potent against R. stolonifer than the other plant extracts but was lower and significantly different when compared with Mancozeb (73.31%) at (P≤0.05) after 3 days. Extracts of C. longa and C. limon peel showed a lower inhibition level ranging from 45.01% to 56.98% and 9.57% to 18.73% respectively and were significantly different when compared with Mancozeb at (P≤0.05). Inhibition of fungal growth increased with a corresponding increase in extract concentration and days. The plant leaf extracts effectively inhibited the mycelial growth of pathogen in vitro after 3 days. In vivo study was carried out using spore suspensions of R. stolonifer. Fresh, healthy and surface sterilized Irish potato tubers were inoculated with 6.4 x 104 spores/ml and treated with aqueous extracts of C. longa, Z. officinale and C. limon peel after 24 hours. The result showed that all plant extracts had significant effect on disease severity in tubers inoculated with R. stolonifer. However, 100% concentration of Z. officinale gave the best rot reduction caused by R. stolonifer with severity score of 0.33 but it was not significantly different at (p<0.05) from mancozeb which had a severity score of 0.67. However, they were significantly different at (p<0.05) from the inoculated control (3.33). There were variations in weight loss but no significant difference was observed among the various treatment methods adopted.

La fabrique locale de l’autoritarisme soudanais : singularités et banalités de la domination au Nord Kordofan
Authors: Mahé Anne-Laure
Published: September 2020

À partir d’une enquête de terrain menée en 2015, cet article analyse la mise en œuvre d’une politique de développement participatif dans la province du Nord Kordofan au Soudan. Il propose de l’interpréter comme une modulation particulière du régime autoritaire de l’ Inqaz . D’un côté, les autorités locales mobilisent un discours sur la spécificité de la région et la rupture avec le passé immédiat pour susciter l’adhésion. De l’autre, elles ont recours à des pratiques caractéristiques du régime et de son utilisation de l’économie du don, et, au-delà, du fait autoritaire dans le Soudan postcolonial.
Les tribulations de la justice pénale internationale : chronique des poursuites judiciaires inquiétant l’ancien président soudanais
Authors: Gout Philippe
Published: September 2020

La destitution de l’ancien président soudanais al-Bashir en avril 2019 a suscité d’enthousiastes réactions dans les milieux de l’information et académique, en particulier sur la perspective renouvelée que cet accusé soit enfin attrait devant la Cour pénale internationale. Pourtant, la légitimité de la CPI à poursuivre l’ancien président soudanais n’est pas une évidence et les justifications apportées par cette dernière relèvent d’une technique juridique critiquable tout en révélant les difficultés de la Cour à départir sa stratégie de poursuites d’un agenda judiciaire américain embarrassant. Loin de signifier un rapprochement avec la CPI, les poursuites pénales engagées contre al-Bashir devant les tribunaux soudanais sont le dernier rempart imaginé par l’exécutif soudanais contre l’intrusion de la Cour de La Haye dans la souveraineté pénale de l’État.
Pratiques de pouvoir, conflits miniers et économie de l’or au Soudan durant le régime d’ al-Inqaz
Authors: Chevrillon-Guibert Raphaëlle , Ille Enrico , Salah Mohamed
Published: September 2020

Notre article revient sur les pratiques de pouvoir et les négociations opérées par le régime d’ al-Inqaz dans la dernière décennie à partir de l’étude du secteur minier soudanais devenu en quelques années la pierre angulaire de l’économie soudanaise et une des principales sources d’enrichissement de ce régime. Basée sur de nombreuses enquêtes de terrain dans la capitale et en région, notre analyse questionne le modèle de l’État soudanais et les rapports de domination du centre avec ses périphéries. Elle souligne la fluidité des ressorts de cette domination autoritaire et la diversité de ces relations en montrant néanmoins comment l’État central, et en son sein l’appareil de sécurité, s’est accaparé la nouvelle rente au détriment du local. Ce travail permet d’appréhender les conceptions que les forces de sécurité se font de ces relations centre-périphéries mais aussi public-privé, conceptions qui nourrissent leurs manières de gouverner et qui constituent ainsi un enjeu central du moment révolutionnaire actuel dans la mesure où il préfigure les tensions entre civils et militaires.

« Ignorance blanche », clairvoyance noire ? W. E. B. Du Bois et la justice épistémique
Authors: Bessone Magali
Published: September 2020

Dans cet article, on se propose de montrer comment l'enjeu principal de W. E. B. Du Bois dans l'ensemble de son œuvre a consisté à transformer l' epistémè défectueuse du monde blanc dominant, l'objectif épistémique étant au service d'un objectif normatif de justice sociale. Il a mis en place des outils de diagnostic et de lutte contre les injustices épistémiques qui affectent les Africains-Américains et a fourni des ressources puissantes pour renverser la structure particulière d'ignorance blanche qui informait l'Amérique ségréguée de son temps. Après avoir rappelé les paradigmes de l'injustice épistémique et de l'ignorance blanche tels qu'ils ont été proposés respectivement par Miranda Fricker et par Charles W. Mills, l'article étudie tout particulièrement trois dimensions qui représentent la contribution décisive de Du Bois à la reformulation d'une épistémologie correcte : 1) il vise à faire reconnaître les Noirs comme crédibles sujets de connaissance ­ et même particulièrement clairvoyants dans certaines conditions ; 2) il étudie des objets d'enquête scientifique, usuellement considérés comme inexistants dans le monde blanc et met au jour les structures épistémiques qui les rendent invisibles ; 3) il crée des ressources cognitives spécifiques pour appréhender, évaluer et résoudre les « problèmes » que le monde blanc est devenu incapable de comprendre.

methods of a direct current (DC)grid-tied solar PV system in a ship. The simulations have been modeled using an Arduino Uno R3 with IC ATMEGA 328P controller in Proteus PCB Design and Simulation software. In faulty conditions, the impact of the faults on the grid is very critical. Hence, it
is essential to identify faults immediately and island the grid.

Frequency domain system identification of higher order models for the Bell 412 helicopter was performed. First, a frequency response database was derived from flight-test data. For hover, a combination of sweep and 2311-multistep maneuvers had to be used to achieve good results. In
addition to the classical six-DoF (degrees of freedom) rigid body states, the identified hover model includes dynamic inflow, rotor coning dynamics, and uses a Padé approximation for the influence of engine dynamics, to improve the response in the vertical axis. The forward flight (60
kn) model includes as extension first-order flapping dynamics, mainly to improve the roll and pitch response. Besides the simple Padé approach used in the hover model, two different engine model structures were investigated but they provided no significant improvement compared to the
Padé solution when coupled to the rigid-body model. Finally, a method derived from feedforward principles of model following control is shown, to use the identified hover model to analytically derive an "input filter" correction that improves the fidelity of a linearized FLIGHTLAB simulation
model.

Published: September 2020

The novel coronavirus pandemic has resulted in global socioeconomic impacts; however, there is still a need to improve understanding and data about its form and patterns of propagation. Therefore, studies on the role of water resources and sanitation should be prioritized, given the potential to serve as a means of dispersing the SARS-CoV-2 virus, which causes COVID-19 disease. So far, the RNA of the transmitting virus has been detected in domestic sewage in several countries, but there is, so far, no evidence of contamination by direct contact with these effluents. Even so, poor regions without adequate treatment of water and sewage, as occur in Brazil, must act in order to develop efficient policies to improve water quality aimed at public health. One of the options is the formation of a Hub that aggregates the various interrelated aspects of water and sanitation into a cohesive and actionable whole. It is essential to combine investment, research, and monitoring of water and effluent quality to improve sanitary security, water quality and human health, with an emphasis on the poorest sectors. The Hub would also serve as a means of controlling and monitoring the dispersion of pathogens such as the SARS-CoV-2 virus, thus mitigating economic and societal impacts.

The grape industrialization process produces large volumes of solid organic waste, with the grape bagasse being the main waste generated in the winemaking process. Anaerobic digestion can be used to treat and dispose of agro-industrial biomass waste. The objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of the inoculum/substrate ratio on the Biochemical Methane Potential (BMP) of grape marc. The experiment was performed in laboratory scale through a system of reactor bottles in batches, removing a set of triplicate flasks for sampling and analysis every 48 hours, with the test lasting 12 days. The reactors contained residue, inoculum and 20% of nutritive solution, maintaining 20% of headspace. The reactors were incubated in an incubator at a mesophilic temperature (35 ± 2°C) and shaken manually every 24 hours. Three different inoculum/substrate (I/S) ratios of 0.75, 1.5 and 3 were used to evaluate the methane yield, organic removals and at the end of degradation the morphology of the bacterial community was evaluated by means of scanning electron microscopy. The I/S 3 ratio provided the best results for loading anaerobic systems, indicating that grape marc presents potential for biological treatment through anaerobic digestion.

Studies determining physiological characteristics of field-grown pineapples irrigated with low-quality water are lacking. This work evaluated the photochemical efficiency of ‘Pérola’ pineapple irrigated with saline water in the semiarid region of Bahia, Brazil. The experiment was carried out in randomized blocks with five treatments consisting of the following irrigation depths: 100% of ETc using water with electrical conductivity (ECw) of 0.75 dS m-1; and 50, 75, 100 and 125% of ETc using water with ECw of 3.6 dS m-1. Chlorophyll a fluorescence measurements were made over the course of 13 months using a pulse-modulated fluorometer, in all treatments. Quantum efficiency (Fv/Fm) fluctuated throughout the cycle of the pineapple with values below the ideal, especially at the end of the crop cycle. Quantum yield of photosystem II (Yield), photochemical quenching (qP), non-photochemical quenching (NPQ) and chlorophyll fluorescence decrease ratio (RFd) were not influenced by irrigation depths. Therefore, energy used for photosynthetic processes in pineapple plants is not affected by irrigation using saline water with electrical conductivity of 3.6 dS m-1.

Authors: AKA Kemal
Published: September 2020

Döviz kuru ülkenin serbest ticaret ekonomisinde hayati bir role sahip olmakla birlikte, faiz oranı, enflasyon, cari açık, dış ticaret dengesi, işsizlik oranı vb. gibi makroekonomik ve finansal değişkenler üzerinde etki oluşturmaktadır. Döviz kurunda görülen istikrarsızlık ve ani artışlar ekonomik faaliyetlerin olumsuz seyrine yol açarak ekonomik istikrarsızlığa yol açmaktadır. Bu sebeple döviz kuru son yıllarda Türkiye ekonomisi için üzerinde çok konuşulan konuların başında gelmektedir. Bu durum da döviz kurunun stabilize edilmesi için etkili olan göstergeler ve bunlar arasındaki nedensellik ilişkisinin incelenmesini önemli kılmaktadır.Bu kapsamda çalışmada Türkiye ekonomisinden 1988Q1-2019Q2 dönemini kapsayan üç aylık veriler kullanılarak, döviz kurları ile seçilmiş makroekonomik göstergeler arasındaki etkileşim Granger nedensellik testi ile incelenmiştir.Çalışmanın sonucunda döviz kurundan cari işlemler dengesine, dış ticaret haddine ve dış ticaret dengesine doğru tek yönlü; döviz kuru ile petrol fiyatları arasında ise çift yönlü nedensellik ilişkisi bulunmuştur.
