Formation, Characterization and In vitro Dissolution studies of Piroxicam-Malic Acid Cocrystals
Authors: Doloking Haeria , Syamsi Dhuha Nur , Nurjannah Nurjannah
Published: August 2024

Piroxicam is one of the most potent anti-inflammatory non-steroidal drugs in the treatment of musculoskeletal, bone, and joint injuries including ankylosing spondylitis, osteoarthritis, and rheumatoid arthritis. Piroxicam exhibits poor solubility and slow onset of action in biological subjects. An oral dosage form of piroxicam with enhanced aqueous solubility is desired to enable a faster onset of action and its use for mild-to-medium-level acute pain relief. Cocrystal formation aims to increase piroxicam's solubility and the onset of action, thereby improving therapeutic effectiveness. Piroxicam-malic acid cocrystal is formed by solvent drop grinding method with methanol as a solvent. The preliminary characterization of piroxicam and cocrystal particles was determined by Scanning Electron Microscope, Differential Scanning Calorimetry, X-ray Diffractometry, and Fourier Transform Infra-Red Spectrophotometry to confirm the formation of hydrogen bonds. Dissolution studies of piroxicam and its cocrystals were performed in pH 1,2 hydrochloric acid solutions at 37°C. The microscopic analysis showed the formation of a new crystalline phase, and the thermal analysis showed a shift in the melting point to lower which confirms increased solubility due to the formation of the crystalline phase. Crystallographic analysis shows a new unique peak which indicates the formation of a new crystal lattice in the form of a triclinic lattice. This is also confirmed by the results of functional group analysis which shows the formation of heterosynthonic supramolecular hydrogen bonds between the amide group of piroxicam and the carboxylic group of malic acid. The greater dissolution rate is reached by piroxicam-malic acid (1:2) cocrystal.

Published: August 2024

Cancer is one of the most prevalent diseases and is increasing progressively due to our contemporary lifestyle. It is essential to find novel approaches to prevent and treat it efficiently. In order to treat cancer, herbal medications play a crucial role by obstructing important biological pathways. The current investigation was conducted to find out cytotoxic activity of four isolated compounds from root extracts of Roscoea purpurea. The isolated compounds were screened for cytotoxic activity through molecular docking studies using protein target 6G9X and 4DDR followed by in vitro cytotoxic using lymphoma cell lines i.e. Jurkat and u937. The molecular docking results showed that Lupenone and Sitostanol caffeate have cytotoxic activity. Lupenone and Sitostanol caffeate showed the higher/similar selectivity score as compared to standard drug Methotrexate. In consonance to the results of molecular docking, appreciable in vitro cytotoxic activity of Lupenone and Sitostanol caffeate has been observed through MTT assay. From results, it was observed that both the compounds showed decreased cell viability and inhibition of cell growth in a dose dependent manner. However more studies are needed to determine the exact mechanism by which these phytochemical constituents isolated from Roscoea purpurea interact with receptors to exert the cytotoxic activity.

Published: August 2024

Disulfiram has been the first choice of drug for the physician to treat alcoholism. The oral effect of disulfiram is limited because of less patient compliance and poor bioavailability. Attempts were made to develop subcutaneously implantable disulfiram pellet or tablet dosage forms to reduce oral medication failure. The present study attempts to prepare and evaluate an implant of disulfiram by using a direct compression method. The effect of agitation speed with three different in vitro dissolution methods i.e., Vial Method (VM) (5min Shaking at sampling time), Rotary Flask Shaker Method (RFM) (25 RPM), and Intrinsic Dissolution Method (IDM) (50 RPM) were studied for in-vitro release of disulfiram implant. The results showed the steady release rate of formulation (S3, S7, S11, and S15) at varying compression forces obtained by three methods (VM, RFM and IDM) are different significantly with p value <0.0001. Thus, the effect of agitation speed with three different methods (VM, RFM and IDM) had a distinct effect of plain disulfiram Implant on in-vitro release. All the formulations were subjected to different dissolution kinetic treatment models (Zero order, First order, Higuchi Square root, and Korsmeyer Peppas), upon studying the release and release kinetics, the release kinetic mechanism was found to be zero order from all formulations.

Hypertension often causes no symptoms, while persistently high blood pressure over a long period of time can cause complications. The purpose of the study was to determine the experience of patients with hypertension during treatment in the inpatient ward of Imelda Indonesian Workers Hospital Medan. The type of research conducted in this study is a qualitative research with a descriptive phenomenological approach. This research was carried out in the inpatient ward of Imelda Indonesian Workers Hospital Medan in July-August 2022. Participants in this study were 5 patients with hypertension. Data collection techniques in this study used in-depth interview techniques. The results of the study of participants affected by hypertension varied in their length of suffering from hypertension, between 1 to 7 years. Participants revealed that the initial symptoms felt were dizziness, headache, blurred vision, the presence of objects that seemed to move, stiffness and pain in the back of the neck and weakness. When symptoms occurred, participants did not know if the symptoms they felt were signs of having hypertension. Participants affected by hypertension maintained their daily diet at the beginning of their hypertension, still limiting foods such as coffee, meat, fatty foods, but after a long time they could no longer hold back their appetite so they could no longer limit their daily food. Participants have difficulty when maintaining a diet, namely participants have not been able to keep food from salty, fatty, fried, meat and have not been controlled in maintaining a daily food diet. The experience of participants when receiving hypertension therapy was that at the beginning they were sick, participants were still obedient in taking drugs, but over time the participants were getting bored and even fed up with hypertension drugs so that more people did not take drugs according to the doctor's recommendations that had been given to participants. The changes felt when participants were affected by hypertension were that participants were more limited in time to carry out activities and some even took holidays or leave because they had to be hospitalized because of the high blood pressure experienced by these participants. The support that the participants got was that the participant's family always provided support to the participants and accompanied them until the treatment process was completed.

Taxes and Entrepreneurship: Impact on New Business Creation
Authors: Pratama Hadi
Published: August 2024

This study investigates the intricate relationship between tax policies and entrepreneurship, aiming to provide comprehensive insights into how taxes influence entrepreneurial behavior and outcomes. Adopting a qualitative approach, the research synthesizes existing literature on taxes and entrepreneurship, drawing on a diverse range of scholarly articles, books, and reports. The research methodology involves systematic literature search, data extraction, thematic analysis, and critical appraisal of findings. The study finds that tax rates significantly impact entrepreneurial activity, with higher tax rates generally associated with lower rates of new business creation. Moreover, complex tax systems and compliance costs pose barriers to entry for aspiring entrepreneurs, diverting resources away from productive activities. However, the impact of taxes on entrepreneurship extends beyond mere rate considerations, encompassing factors such as tax incentives, institutional frameworks, and socio-economic conditions. Tax policies that offer targeted incentives for startup investment, research and development (R&D), and small business development can mitigate the negative effects of high tax rates and promote entrepreneurial activity. Furthermore, favorable business climates, streamlined regulatory processes, and transparent tax administration contribute to an enabling environment for startups to thrive and innovate. The study highlights the need for policymakers to adopt a holistic approach to tax policy design that balances revenue objectives with entrepreneurship promotion.

Underserved farmers’ barriers to adoption of the U.S. Department of Agriculture Natural Resources Conservation Service climate-smart agricultural practices in South Carolina
Authors: Guynn Susan , Player W. , Burns Matthew
Published: August 2024

Agribusiness has an annual economic impact of US $51.8 billion in South Carolina (South Carolina Department of Agriculture, n.d.). It is supported by underserved farmers and ranchers who represent 9.3% of all South Carolina farms and 8% of all farmland acres (USDA, 2024). Further, almost 35% of South Carolina farmers or producers are female (USDA, 2024). This small group of farmers and ranchers represents an important economic sector in agriculture and could benefit from participation in the U.S. Department of Agriculture Natural Resources Conservation Service (USDA NRCS) climate-smart agriculture programs to enhance or increase their farming operations. In addition, implementing climate-smart agricultural practices can help to offset the negative impacts of the increased frequency and intensity of disturbances (e.g., drought and flooding). However, previous research has shown that underserved farmers and ranchers do not participate in USDA NRCS pro­grams at the same rate as other farmers (Gilbert et al., 2002; Minkoff-Zern & Sloat, 2017; Russell et al., 2021). This research sought to (1) identify the barriers to participation in USDA NRCS programs and (2) develop recommendations for overcoming the barriers. Eight focus groups were conducted between June 2022 and March 2023 either virtually (n = 5) or in-person (n = 3) with underserved farm­ers and ranchers (n = 22) around the state to iden­tify barriers to participation in USDA NRCS cli­mate-smart agricultural programs. Program participants were self-selected using a nonproba­bility sampling technique (snowball sampling) and were recruited by contacts provided to the researchers by Clemson Extension agents and non­governmental organizations that represent histori­cally socially disadvantaged farmers and ranchers. Three primary barriers were identified: (1) lack of program clarity and visibility, (2) lack of accounta­bility, and (3) lack of NRCS support. Recommen­dations are provided to address and overcome each barrier.

Published: August 2024

Incorporating investors’ stock review feature vectors in stock prediction models to improve the accuracy of stock price prediction. A stock price model STSB based on STL decomposition algorithm is proposed, which integrates the investor’s stock review feature vector constructed by the BERT model and the number of reads and comments of the stock reviews as features with the stock price features extracted by the STL decomposition algorithm through the attention mechanism to make stock price prediction. Comparing with the experimental results of five models, namely, KNN, ANN, DT, SVR, and RF, on six types of stock datasets, the results show that the accuracy of the STSB model in predicting the six types of stock prices is significantly improved compared with other single benchmark models. The STSB model with the addition of STL decomposition algorithm is analyzed through experimental validation to have better prediction effect and better prediction ability for the future stock price trend.

Authors: Ahmed Kazi Firoz , Imroze Rubaiyat , Faiz Rethwan , Alam Nuzat Nuary , Najibullah Mohammad
Published: August 2024

In this research all the data sets were gathered during the COVID-19 outbreak. The study presented, however, is applicable to any pandemic scenario in Bangladesh or elsewhere. The lockdown has significantly reduced the demand for power worldwide and altered the makeup of the load and the daily load profile. This is because many offices have switched to home office strategy, which has shortened the operating schedule of many businesses. Considering this, many countries' adoption of lockdown measures to halt the spread of COVID-19 abruptly changed socioeconomic operations, including the power generation industries.  To better understand the pandemic's impact on Bangladesh's fossil-fuel based power sector, this study examines renewable energy technologies' roles in creating climate resilient, sustainable energy routes. Research was done for the pandemic lockdown in 2020. Due to the lockdown situation, the power sector witnessed increased overcapacity, and revenue losses. This study looked at the implications on energy demand, load profiles, generation, consumption, generating mix, and expansion of renewable electricity generation. In addition, a suitable generation mix for Bangladesh has been suggested. This sector's resilience has also been assessed to overcome the pandemic crisis and any future pandemic-like emergency. In this research, a well-organized examination of the existing power sector overall plan has also been proposed, focusing on clean energy led power sector development.

Authors: Díaz Rodríguez Edward Andrés , Varela Ramírez Humberto , Montilla Velásquez María del Pilar , Ortega-Anaya Klissman Leonardo
Published: August 2024

Contexto: la relación calcio/fósforo (Ca/P) en pacientes con hiperparatiroidismo primario ha demostrado ser un marcador importante y con buen rendimiento para el diagnóstico de esta patología, mientras que la gammagrafía de paratiroides con Tc 99m-MIBI (2-metoxiisobutilisonitrilo) es uno de los métodos más ampliamente difundidos para la localización del tejido paratiroideo hiperfuncionante, que es el causante de esta enfermedad; sin embargo, aún no se han realizado estudios que evalúen el valor que la relación (Ca/P) puede tener al momento de tomar la decisión de enviar un paciente a la gammagrafía de paratiroides.
Objetivo: identificar el mejor punto de corte de la relación Ca/P sérico para realizar una gammagrafía de paratiroides con Tc 99m-MIBI en pacientes con hiperparatiroidismo primario.
Metodología: este es un estudio observacional de corte transversal, en el que se analizaron los resultados de la relación Ca/P y de la gammagrafía de paratiroides con Tc 99m-MIBI, de los pacientes que acudieron a dos servicios de medicina nuclear de referencia en la ciudad de Bogotá, durante el periodo comprendido entre los años 2017 y 2022.
Resultados: se analizaron 263 pacientes, de los cuales 240 (91%) fueron mujeres, 150 resultaron negativos en la gammagrafía de paratiroides con Tc 99m-MIBI y 113 positivos. La relación Ca/P cuando el resultado de la gammagrafía era negativo fue de 3,21 ± 0,90 y de 4,03 ± 0,84 cuando fue positivo; el análisis ROC mostró que 3,4 fue el mejor punto de corte, con una especificidad del 74?% y una sensibilidad del 77?%. El 96?% de los pacientes con una relación menor a 2,68 tuvo un resultado negativo.
Conclusiones: los pacientes con hiperparatiroidismo primario que tenían una relación de Ca/P mayor a 3,4 tuvieron una probabilidad de tener una gammagrafía de paratiroides positiva en el 77?% de los casos y una posibilidad de falsos positivos del 26?%. El 96?% de los pacientes con una relación menor a 2,68 tuvieron una gammagrafía negativa.

Art and Life
Authors: Carr David
Published: August 2024

Can art illuminate life or is it just so much irrelevant illusion (or delusion)? Certainly, Plato—the great founding father of Western philosophy—seems to have been largely drawn to the latter view. From Plato onwards, however, this more sceptical perspective seems bedevilled by a range of conceptual conflations and confusions regarding the language and purposes of art. Proceeding by way of critical attention to distinctions between (for example) imagination and fantasy and the artistic and the aesthetic and to the different cognitive and affective functions of literal and figurative usage, this article also draws upon diverse insights of poets and artists to argue that the ultimate purpose of the deliberate or “artificial” separation of significant art from “real” human life is nevertheless to enable deeper perception and appreciation of that life.
Unsettling Art and Its Psychological Impact
Authors: Funch Bjarne Sode , Hougaard Sabrina
Published: August 2024

This article focuses on the experience of unsettling art and its psychological impact. Although it is widely recognized that works of art can be highly unsettling and disturbing, there seem to be no studies revealing the psychological importance of such experiences. Through a selection of interviews conducted according to phenomenological principles, a few essential features of the unsettling art experience are identified. These features include a strong negative emotional response, feelings of attraction, and pictorial vividness. Furthermore, these experiences form memory traces that are powerful, persistent, and long-lasting. The present study shows that when experiencing an unpleasant emotional response to a work of art, the emotion is linked to the sensate form of the picture and thereby objectified, allowing contemplation of the existential importance of the experience. Furthermore, this study uncovers a possible relation between prior traumatic episodes and an intense emotional response to unsettling art, and it is suggested that experiences with unsettling works of art allow the individual to reconcile with their prior trauma.

Is education being disingenuous about arts education? When arts education is evaluated, the value of arts education is disputed. Arts education is judged to be of poor educational proof value. I believe a very different conclusion about arts education can be drawn. Pertinent to a good education in general is arts education. Why the arts are educationally troubling and how arts education can improve education is examined here. A brief account of arts education is given in an attempt to explain why the arts in education are not a luxury but, instead, a genuine need.
