Authors: Mahadik R.A. , Redasani V. K. , Jadhav P.D. , Bhagat P.D.
Published: November 2023

Since the previous four decades, the idea of mucoadhesion has attracted significant interest across a range of pharmaceutics domains.Because mucosal membranes are relatively permeable, the mucoadhesive drug delivery system is a well-liked innovative drug delivery technique, allowing for the rapid uptake of a medication into the systemic circulation and avoiding the first pass metabolism. Recent years have seen the development of a number of mucoadhesive drug delivery systems for nasal, buccal, oral, vaginal, and rectal routes for both local and systemic effects.The mucus membrane, which covers the mucin molecules and the mucosal epithelial surface, can interact with mucoadhesive drug delivery systems. This interaction increases the dosage form's residence time at the site of absorption, increasing medication bioavailability and effectiveness while also enhancing therapeutic results.

Authors:   Voronezh State Technical University, VOLKOVA A.E. , SHELYAKINA L.G. ,   Ministry of Tariff Regulation of the  Voronezh Region
Published: November 2023

Currently, government authorities in Russian regions are striving to modernize their work, increase its efficiency, and make it as transparent as possible for both business and the population. In this case, more and more regions are introducing lean management technologies into their management practices. The purpose of the study is to study the implementation of lean management practices in the activities of the Ministry of Tariff Regulation of the Voronezh Region. The research methodology is based on the analysis of the experience of introducing lean management practices into the activities of the department of state tariffs regulation as the modernization part of the system for approving investment programs of resource supply organizations in the region. A survey of representatives of the RNO was also conducted to identify the most significant problems in the process of preparing and approving investment programs. As a result, the authors draw conclusions about how lean projects should be introduced into the activities of government authorities, replicate them from entity to entity, and increase the potential for the use of lean technologies in the work of government authorities in Russian regions as well. Firstly, lean management technologies begin to be implemented in the Voronezh region, so not all employees are involved in the process of project implementation. Secondly, the implementation of lean projects can significantly reduce employee labour costs when performing current working tasks. Thirdly, successful lean management practices require significant information support at the regional level in order to implement them not only within one department, but throughout the country.

Authors: M Amin Omar
Published: November 2023

Acanthocephalus dirus (Van Cleave, 1931) Van Cleave and Townsend, 1936 is the most widely distributed and studied species of acanthocephalans in North America. Acanthocephalus jacksoni Bullock, 1962 from New England and Acanthocephalus parksidei Amin, 1975 from Wisconsin are junior synonyms. Line drawings were used in these and all subsequent descriptive accounts since. We are reporting SEM images of A. dirus for the first time from 2 Wisconsin populations from Catostomus commersoni Lacépède showing new details that could not have been seen only with optical microscopy. The new SEM observations include new features that were not previously reported such as apical sensory pores, micropores variably distributed on the trunk and on the proboscis and hooks, hooks of variable size, and bursa with 2 circles of sensory papillae and 2 pedunculated suckers. We are also providing a detailed elemental analysis of middle hooks using Energy Dispersive x-ray analysis (EDXA) showing high levels of sulfur in all samples especially hook tips.

Published: November 2023

One of the simplest approaches to improve membrane performance is to increase the hydrophilicity of the membrane. This article describes the manufacture of activated polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) based membranes using PVP and chitosan as organic additives, with the specific aim of increasing the hydrophilicity of the membranes. Variations of dope solution were made by adding 1% by weight of PVP and 1, 2, and 3% by weight of chitosan into three different PVDF polymer solutions. The effect of additives on the membrane was obtained by evaluating chemical functional groups by ATR-FTIR, morphological changes by SEM, and filtration performance. SEM images show that the presence of additives changes the morphological structure of the membrane. This change also had a significant impact on the membrane performance, as evidenced by the increased permeability of the pure water solution and the removal of dissolved humic acid. Overall, modified PVDF membranes with 1% by weight of PVP and 1, 2, and 3% by weight of chitosan resulted in much better permeability than unmodified PVDF membranes due to their excellent hydrophilicity.
Degradation of Ciprofloxacin Antibiotic Waste Using TiO2 Nanotube with Addition of Anthocyanin Dye-Sensitizer In Photocatalysis Process: Review

An antibiotic-containing waste entering the water bodies is very dangerous because it can disturb the balance of the ecosystem and can modify the genetic information of natural bacteria so that resistance occurs. One type of antibiotic is ciprofloxacin (CIP) which can pollute aquatic ecosystems. One potential method that can be used to degrade the CIP is photocatalysis since it is low cost, highly effective, and environmentally friendly. To improve the performance of TiO₂ photocatalyst, morphological engineering is carried out to form TiO₂ nanotube arrays and then coated with natural anthocyanin sensitizer. The morphological engineering of TiO₂ can be done through the anodization process. It is an electrochemical coating process that can convert metals to porous metal oxide layers. The effectiveness of the TiO2 photocatalyst in degrading pollutants can be increased by a dye-sensitizer addition. Commonly, natural anthocyanin dyes are chosen as sensitizers on the TiO2 semiconductor surfaces. Visible light is absorbed by the dye-sensitizer substances to speed up the electron excitation mechanism. The dye-sensitizer addition causes the TiO2 photocatalyst to be more responsive to visible light. The addition of the dye-sensitizer on the surface of TiO2 nanotubes has the potential to increase the degradation of ciprofloxacin waste using a photocatalytic process.

Coagulated by papaya sap, dangke is known as a traditional dairy product belonging to the household-scale processing business in Enrekang, South Sulawesi Province, Indonesia. Vinegar is another coagulant that can be used in making dangke. This study aimed to utilize vinegar as an alternative dangke coagulant other than papaya sap, to analyze the texture of dangke, to use different salt concentrations while making dangke with vinegar, to perform proximate tests, and to conduct organoleptic tests. Dangke was made from 1 L cow's milk mixed with 5 mL of vinegar. For roughly 20 minutes, the mixture is cooked at 65–70°C while being stirred. The curd was separated from the whey and then shaped into dangke. Dangke was then soaked for 75 minutes in varied salt concentrations of 2%, 3%, and 4%. The texture analyzer (softness) result of this dangke was 125.974 g/s. It was close to the texture of traditional dangke. Proximate analyses were performed. The result that comes close to the result of traditional dangke was 3% salt-soaked dangke with a moisture content of 35.82%, an ash content of 1.44%, dissolved protein content of 0.47%, and fat content of 5.06%.  An organoleptic test of preference for dangke vinegar was also carried out. The results of this study are expected to be utilized by local industries having difficulties in obtaining papaya sap as a dangke coagulant.

Conventional plastics are already a popular packaging material in society, but they have a harmful influence on the environment. As a result, there is a need for environmentally friendly polymers that are raw from nature and biodegradable alternatives to traditional plastics, one of which is raw plastic Polylactic Acid (PLA) coupled with Cellulose Acetate (CA) and Tween 80 as a compatibilizer. The goal of this research was to find the best ratio of orange skin powder to PLA/CA with the compatibilizer Tween 80 to improve the physical, mechanical, and antibacterial properties of the composite film.  The method used is solvent casting with a mass ratio of PLA/CA 6: 4 with the addition of Tween 80 2%, and the addition of orange peel powder with variations of 2, 4, 6, and 10 % w/w to the weight of PLA. The tests carried out include FTIR, SEM, XRD, DSC-TGA, mechanical tests (tensile strength and elongation at break), swelling tests, and antibacterial tests. The results showed that the PLA/CA/Tween 80 film composite has a fairly smooth surface with a small cavity, capable of degrading to a temperature of 546.57°C. Regarding the mechanics, the best film composites were identified at a variation of 6% with tensile strength of 4.05 MPa and elongation at break reaching 11.2% with a fairly small water absorption and this variation did not show antibacterial activity.
Twelve Myths of Litvinism
Authors: Tyapin Igor
Published: November 2023

The article is devoted to the critical analysis of the whole complex of the main postulates of the ideology of Litvinism pertinent to the Belarusian history of the Middle Ages, modern and recent times, as one of the competing approaches to the defi nition of Belarusian identity in the context of the scientifi c and historical reliability of the national idea as a worldview system and the ideal of socio-humanitarian knowledge. The author reveals the methodological orientation of Litvinism towards ethno-constructivism, the spread of which is caused by the “geopolitical fractures” in the era of globalization, with an external appeal to primordialism. He proves the compliance of the Litvinist doctrine with the list of the main signs of pseudoscience and offers productive methodological principles of protection against the mythologization of the history of Belarus.
Social Security of the Aging Society in Modern China within the Framework of the Community Concept
Authors:   St. Petersburg State University, Song Ju
Published: November 2023

This article discusses an urgent topic for modern China – the aging of the population. It is noted that the current trend is a natural consequence of improving the quality of life of citizens, economic growth in the country. On the other hand, one of the reasons for the increase in the number of the disabled population in the present, the author sees an erroneous demographic policy in the past, which resulted in a decrease in the number of work-ing citizens and an increase in the number of dependents for each of them. The situation is aggravated by the fact that in modern economic conditions it is almost impossible to implement the traditional model of “aging in the family”. The author sees one of the solutions to the problem of providing the necessary care for elderly citi-zens in the development of a community system of gerontological care. The article reveals the promising op-portunities of this direction in Chinese society, considers the forms of public and private participation in the pro-cess of providing care for elderly citizens. It is concluded that an ideal solution to the problem has not yet been found, and further research in this direction is required.

The process of learning a language is influenced by a number of factors. One of the most significant factors that has an influence on learning a language is attitude. Research in this area has demonstrated that learners’ attitudes are a constituent and crucial part of the learning process. As such, learners’ attitudes towards language should be dealt with as a critical component of second and foreign language learning pedagogy. Accordingly, the current study addresses the attitudes of Moroccan high-school students towards learning English as a foreign language. Specifically, the study aims to investigate Moroccan high-school students’ attitudes towards English, the reasons behind their attitudes and the impacts that such attitudes might potentially have. Generally speaking, the study found that the participants have highly favourable attitudes towards learning English for different reasons, a fact that results in positive impacts on students’ willingness to learn the language.Keywords: Attitudes; Language; EFL context

Growing apart : Increasing labour market segmentation of EU-13 workers in Sweden
Authors: Dahlstedt Inge , Emilsson Henrik
Published: November 2023

This article investigates labour market segmentation of EU-13 workers in Sweden. Labour market segmentation is a driver of income differences between natives, EU-15 migrants and EU-13 migrants in many EU member states. There are, however, indications that labour market inequalities as a result of segmentation among EU-13 migrants is less pronounced in Sweden. Previous research, both quantitative and qualitative, has shown surprisingly low levels of labour market segmentation among the employed. The structural differences on the labour market has, instead, been between the employed and unemployed, with a large employment gap between natives and all migrant groups including EU-13 migrants. We address the functional integration in the labour market from a longitudinal perspective, using several quantitative indicators to measure the degree of labour market segmentation. Natives and other migrant groups (EU-15 and refugees) are used as reference groups. Our results shows a low but increasing labour market segmentation among the employed born in EU-13 countries. The dissimilarity between employed natives and EU-13 workers is increasing, especially among men. Men from EU-13 countries is the only category where the occupational position has deteriorated. From having a similar occupational position as EU-15 migrants in 2007, their position in the labour market in 2015 is more similar to the refugee group. This development is driven by a large increase of Polish construction workers on the Swedishlabour market.
