Authors: Thoddi Parthasarathi , Gautam CH Girendra Kumar , Raju BH Narasimha
Published: February 2022

A specific, precise, rapid and reliable stability indicating UPLC method has been developed and validated for simultaneous separation and estimation of Epalrestat and Pregabalin in bulk drugs and marketed formulations. Chromatographic separation was achieved on a agilent Zorbax SB C18 (2.1 x 100mm, 1.8µm) column using isocratic mode of elution with 0.1% Formic acid and Acetonitrile in the ratio 60:40 v/v at a flow rate of 1.0 mL/min and analytes were monitored at 226nm. The retention times of Epalrestat and Pregabalin were about 0.97 and 1.27 minutes respectively. The developed method was validated for specificity, linearity, precision, accuracy, ruggedness and stress degradation studies were established. The results of specificity and stability studies indicate that there was no interference of diluent, excipients, and degradation products at respective retention times of analytes. The detector response was linear in the range of 10-150% level with respect to test concentration of Epalrestat and Pregabalin. Correlation coefficient (R2) was found not less than 0.999 for both analytes. The percentage assay of Epalrestat and Pregabalin were about 100.99% and 100.77% respectively. Hence, the developed method was rapid, specific, accurate and economical, and it can be used for routine analysis of these drugs in bulk and marketed formulations.

الممارسات التربوية الوالدية كما يدركها الأطفال المعوقون سمعيا بصفوف مرحلة الأساس بولاية الخرطوم

اتبع الباحث المنهج الوصفي.

تمثل مجتمع الدراسة في جميع التلاميذ و التلميذات المقيدين رسميا بمعاهد الأمل بولاية الخرطوم خلال العام الدراسي (2005-2006م) ممن تتراوح أعمارهم بين (8-12) عامل.

بلغ حجم عينة الدراسة في مرحلة تطبيق أداة الدراسة (39) طفلا و تناقض هذا الحجم غلى (36) منهم (21) طفلة بنسبة (58 %).

بينت اختبارات الفروض أن الممارسات التربوية للآباء مع أطفالهم المعوقين سمعيا تسود بدرجة وسط بينما تسود الممارسات التربوية للأمهات بدرجة فوق الوسط، كما كشفت هذه الاختبارات عن عدم وجود فروق ذات دلالة إحصائية في درجات الممارسات التربوية للآباء و الأمهات مع أطفالهم المعوقين سمعيا تعزى لكل من نوع الطفل المعوق (بنين / بنات) و درجة الإعاقة السمعية (جزئية / كلية).

كذلك بينت النتائج عدم وجود علاقة ارتباط بين الممارسات التربوية للآباء مع عمر الطفل المعوق و المستوى الصفي الذي بلغه الطفل بالمدرسة، بينما ترتبط الممارسات التربوية للأمهات ارتباطا طرديا (موجبا) مع المستوى الصفي الذي بلغه الطفل بالمدرسة و لا ترتبط الممارسات التربوية للأمهات مع متغير عمر الطفل المعوق و المستوى الصفي الذي بلغه الطفل بالمدرسة، بينما ترتبط الممارسات التربوية للأمهات ارتباطا طرديا (موجبا) مع المستوى الصفي الذي بلغه الطفل بالمدرسة و لا ترتبط الممارسات التربوية للأمهات مع متغير الطفل المعوق سمعيا.
Management of community-acquired pneumonia because of multidrug-resistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa with Supime: A case study
Authors: Vijay Shankar Upadhyay  , Ayush Upadhyay
Published: February 2022

Community-acquired pneumonia (CAP), particularly in patients infected with multidrug resistance (MDR) Gram-negative bacilli, is a common and potential serious associated illness leading to considerable morbidity and mortality. Pseudomonas aeruginosa is the second most common pneumonia-causing pathogen, followed by K. pneumonia and S. aureus in India. This resistance is one of the most barriers to bacterial eradication and clinical cure of Pseudomonas infection. This delay in the management of MDR Pseudomonas aeruginosa with antibiotics can lead to increased mortality and morbidity. Here we discuss a case of a CAP caused by pathogen Pseudomonas aeruginosa which was resistant to the first line of antibiotics, piperacillin-tazobactam & cefoperazone sulbactam but sensitive to Supime (cefepime + sulbactam). Supime 3gm BD with 30 minutes of infusions for 7 days was effective in treating and discharging the patient from the hospital. Supime was safe and efficacious to treat hospitalized CAP patient infected with MDR Pseudomonas aeruginosa.

Introdução: Em muitas situações, a aids não é vista como a primeira possibilidade entre os diagnósticos diferenciais. Por isso, neste caso, destaca-se a associação entre intoxicação por cumarínicos e infecção por vírus da imunodeficiência humana, desvendada na revisão de sistemas. Objetivo: Relatar caso clínico de aids concomitante à intoxicação por cumarínicos. Métodos: Estudo descritivo por meio da análise retrospectiva de prontuário médico eletrônico. Resultados: Mulher, 56 anos, diabética e hipertensa, foi internada com rebaixamento do nível de consciência devido a gengivorragia e hematúria maciças. Na ocasião, acompanhantes informaram que paciente fazia uso de varfarina por tromboembolismo pulmonar prévio e anti-inflamatórios por epigastralgia crônica. Ao exame, KPTT e RNI não coaguláveis firmaram o diagnóstico de intoxicação cumarínica, revertida com a administração de vitamina K. Após recobrar a consciência, foi realizada a revisão de sistemas, sendo descobertos emagrecimento de 40 kg em 8 meses, uso frequente de antibióticos por faringoamigdalites de repetição, úlceras em membros inferiores e em vulva. Durante o internamento, apresentou linfopenia, candidíase oroesofágica, além de flogose em joelho esquerdo, sendo diagnosticada artrite séptica tendo as úlceras em membros inferiores como porta de entrada. Baseado nesses achados, foi levantada a hipótese de imunossupressão, como vasculite ou neoplasia, porém o resultado da sorologia para vírus da imunodeficiência humana foi reagente e o diagnóstico final foi aids, tendo como doenças definidoras a síndrome consumptiva associada ao vírus da imunodeficiência humana e candidíase esofágica. A paciente recebeu alta hospitalar após evolução satisfatória do caso, para tratamento ambulatorial. Conclusão: Em enfermarias de clínica médica, diante de casos de manifestações clínicas que sugerem imunossupressão, o diagnóstico de infecção pelo vírus da imunodeficiência humana deve ser uma das hipóteses diagnósticas. Além disso, fazem-se necessárias medidas de saúde pública que permitam o diagnóstico da infecção pelo vírus da imunodeficiência humana de forma ambulatorial (como campanhas de rastreio e oferecimento do teste em qualquer consulta médica) antes que progrida para a aids.

Housing demand models based on individual consumers' utility function reflect preferences about the structure and lot, neighborhood, and location as related to socioeconomic characteristics of the occupants. As a growing proportion of aging residents in many countries are undertaking late life moves, their preferences will have an influence on destination housing markets. We examine the characteristics, attitudes and preferences about retirement housing among immigrant retirees currently living in traditional housing in a retirement destination in Alicante, Spain. Using results from a survey of German and British retirees living in the region, we find through logistic regression that preference for retirement housing is associated with aging and gaining access to in-home support services.

We examine a unique Korean data set, the Kookmin Bank apartment price index, which is based on broker appraisals, in order to shed light on how brokers determine valuation over real estate cycles. We build a repeat sales apartment price index as well as a hedonic apartment price index by using the transaction data, which have become available in the public domain since 2006, and compare them with the Kookmin Bank apartment price index. By examining the volatility in the broker appraisals as well as the partial adjustment models of broker appraisals, we find that the appraisals are smoothed. Furthermore, the smoothing is asymmetrical and greater during down markets than up markets. These findings are consistent with the hypothesis that brokers impound new transaction prices by using the quality of information as weight. The extent of smoothing and asymmetry in smoothing broker appraisals persist over two subsequent cycles contrary to the expectation that they would become more sensitive to transaction prices as transaction prices become more widely spread.

The Essence of Human Resources Management
Authors: Allam Jaas
Published: February 2022

The current research aims at identifying the essence of human resource management, recognizing the management through examining the importance of management, whose target is to establish an ongoing cooperative social entity with an objective and purpose. Furthermore, it   seeks to discover the principles of management and the significance of human resource in the institution, and to demonstrate the prominence of human resource study and the historical development of human resource management. The administration in its modern form is the result of a number of overlapping changes and developments dating back to the beginning of the industrial revolution. So, the study of the most important historical stages of the administration is beyond doubt very crucial, let alone the demonstration of the objectives of human resource management whether social, economic, ethical, organizational, functional, personal or global. It also looks into human resource management decisions, the most important of which were individual and collective decisions. In addition, I will clarify the functions and work of human resource management such as recruitment, training, wage determination, worker relationships, workforce planning and importance. I will conclude the research by emphasizing that people with modern trends see the organization as having many functions, like production, marketing, accounting, finance and others. Besides, human resource management is also a key function of the organization, just as other functions in the organization are. This is because of the importance of the part of the human resource through its role and the work and tasks it accomplishes in the organization. The major point of the research is that the management in its modern form is the upshot of many changes and developments and has taken several names from personnel management to employees’ management to human resource management.

A importância do uso habitacional nos programas nacionais de reabilitação de áreas urbanas antigas
Authors: Andrade Ferreira Anna Cristina
Published: February 2022

Quando falamos em projetos de reabilitação de áreas históricas podemos prever uma gama de usos que podem ser inseridos, mantidos ou restabelecidos nesses espaços, e dentre todos eles o que mais tem suscitado discussões é o uso habitacional. Este artigo busca discutir se o uso habitacional tem sido priorizado pelos programas nacionais de reabilitação urbana de áreas históricas, e se de fato pode-se verificar no Brasil a existência de uma política urbana efetiva para estas áreas, considerando todos os problemas envolvidos. A utilização do estoque construído dos centros antigos poderia auxiliar na diminuição do déficit habitacional, mas é preciso que os projetos se baseiem de fato na sustentabilidade continuada, e que a preocupação principal se desloque da exploração econômica para a recuperação socioeconômica das áreas antigas.

Using Scanning Electron Microscope the average grain size was obtained as small as 60 nm. These fabricated CuO NPs were tested for their possible uses against the MCF-7 cell line (breast cancer cells) and results are presented.
Carbon Capturing Technology: A Step for Sustainable Future
Authors: Sajjad Waseem
Published: February 2022

Humans have liberated more than two thousand gigatons of carbon dioxide into atmosphere, since the Industrial revolt took place. (A gigaton is a billion metric tons.) There is a sturdy cover of air around our planet. This thick air-tight blanket captures the heat of the earth we find today. CO2 is the main greenhouse gas which controls the temperature of atmosphere. Since 1880, due to increasing carbon percentage in atmosphere Earth temperature is increased by 2° Fahrenheit. If we don’t change anything, the effects of climate change as forest fires, the stifling heat waves, and sea level rise will continue to become severe. Here's the big, important thing about CO2: this is a greenhouse gas. That means CO2 in the atmosphere works to trap heat near Earth. It helps the Earth to hold on to some of the energy it receives from the Sun so that all the energy that comes from it does not return to space. If it were not for the effects of global warming, the oceans would be extremely solid. Earth would not be as beautiful a planet blue and green as life. Therefore, CO2 and other greenhouse gases are good to a certain level. An increase in CO2 concentration can help plants to grow faster. But CO2 is so good at trapping heat from the Sun, that even a small increase in CO2 in the atmosphere could cause the Earth to warm up even more. Currently, we’re using some techniques as Bio-energy with Carbon Capture and Storage (BECCS), Direct Air Capture, Carbon Mineralization, and Ocean-based Concepts. But these are not very cost-effective. For instance, direct air capture costs about $94- $232 per metric ton. It’s not very productive, some researchers have found a way to convert CO2 into useful fuel. The purified carbon could also be used to make methanol, carbon nanofibers, or diesel fuel. But again, fuel formed this way is expensive than naturally available resources. It can cost around $94 and $232 per metric ton. Here is the possible solution to minimize this cost in our report. So, that we may get a sustainable environment for future generations at the least possible cost.
Redefinition of De-Broglie Wavelength Associated with Material Particle
Authors:   Student of Trichandra Multiple Campus, Tribhuvan University, Kathmandu, Nepal., Khadka Chandra Bahadur
Published: February 2022

The objective of the work is to reveal the Association of special theory of relativity with De-Broglie wavelength of a particle. It shows that wave nature of a particle is always associated with it’s relativistic properties. The phenomena of interference, diffraction and polarization of light can only be explained on the basis of wave theory of light. These phenomena show that light possesses wave nature. However, certain phenomena like photoelectric effect, Compton effect and discrete emission and absorption of radiation can only be explained on the basis of quantum theory. According to this theory , light propagates in a small packets or quanta and behave like corpuscles or particle. This shows that light possesses particle nature. thus, we can say that light possesses dual nature. The matter also possesses the same dual nature. In order to have wave nature, the particle must satisfy the equation Where m denotes the mass of particle when it is moving with certain velocity. h=6.62×10-34 is the plank’s constant. C is the velocity of light in free space. This shows that wavelength of a material Particle depends on mass. When mathematical operation is done on above equation, it give complete quantitative properties about the wave nature of a particle.

Is the number of cyclonic disturbances traversing India during a monsoon season related to the rainfall in that season ?
Authors: DHAR O. N. , RAKHECHA P. R. , MANDAL B. N.
Published: February 2022

There is a general belief that in the monsoon season (June to September) if more cyclonic disturbances, such as depressions, deep depressions and storms, traverse the country, more rainfall will be received in that season. In order to investigate this the statistics of cyclonic disturbances traversing the land area of the country during the 60-year period from 1901 to 1960 has been examined. Monsoon season rainfall of the country as a whole has also been worked out for each year of the 60-year period using the data of more than 3,000 rainfall stations distributed uniformly over the country. The study has shown that the number of these disturbances or the number of days spent by these disturbances in traversing the land area of the country during the monsoon season is not a reliable index of monsoon rainfall over the country.
Wave disturbances over east China Sea (AMTEX area) during AMTEX 75
Authors: MURTY L. KRISHNA
Published: February 2022

In order to understand different aspects of AMTEX 75, heat and moisture budgets over AMTEX area for AMTEX 75 were estimated earlier (Krishna Murty, 1976). In continuation of that study, in the present paper the characteristics of the wave disturbances that appeared in AMTEX 75 are studied. Though the AMTEX 75 period is only the latter half of February 1975, for better understanding, analysis of the data is done for the complete months of February and March 1975 separately.

The wave disturbances of both the months are studied for 2 different regions zone-I and zone-11 along latitudes 30 to 32 deg. N and 24 to 26 deg. N respectively. In February, the wave disturbances are of 2-3 day period in both the regions. But, in March there exists a wave disturbance of 3-day period in the north (zone-I) while in the south (zone-II) there exists a disturbance with 5-day period.

The disturbances have the characteristics of propagating eastwards, and their wavelength is about 4000 to 5000 km. The vertical structure of these disturbances is same as those of baroclinic waves with warm and moist air to the east of the trough and the trough tilting westwards with height. The change of these characteristics takes place after a certain height, above which the trough tilts eastwards with height and the air to the east of the trough becomes cold and dry. Though the change in the tilting of the trough takes place at a greater height the change in the characteristics of the air to the east of the trough takes place at a much lower level. Interestingly, the changing level is lower over continent than over sea. It may be due to the/difference in the low lying boundary in both the cases.

The vertical velocities are computed for a square area and a triangle area and their power spectral distribution is also studied. It is, noticed that the power density increases as the waves move eastwards.

Measurements of soil heat flux were made over bare black cotton soil at Pune in the period June 1976 to February 1977, using a soil heat flux plate. Hourly values of soil heat flux from 00 to 24 LAT are presented for selected days typical of the monsoon, post-monsoon and winter seasons. The diurnal variation is generally characterised by a cross-over from negative to positive values at 07 hr, occurrence of maximum around noon and return to negative values between 16 and 18 hr. The effects of rainfall, cloudiness and soil moisture on the soil heat flux are discussed.

Previous studies of analysis of rainfall characteristics over Nasik district in north Madhya Maharashtra showed that there is definite variation in the rainfall distribution in the different parts of the Nasik district. Hence, an attempt is made in this paper to examine the rainfall distribution in Pane and Ahmednagar districts of central Madhya Maharashtra.

The study of the monthly, seasonal and annual rainfall distribution for 16 stations in Pune and 11 stations in Ahmednagar. districts has been made for the period 1901-1950. While the daily normal rainfall for 7 stations in Pune h district and 7 stations in Ahmednagar district for same period have been utilised to Study the rainfall characteristics and nature of correlation between the stations in the two districts.

In section 2 results about Pune district are given while section 3 deals with Ahmednagar district. Section 4 is the combined study of the 2 districts. It is seen that there is a difference in rainfall distribution in western parts and eastern parts of Pune district. The same is seen in case of Ahmednagar district also even though the western part, is very small. Combined study of the two districts shows that the rainfall distribution in western part of Pune district is the same as the western part of Ahmednagar district while the, rainfall distribution in eastern part of Pune district is same as that in the eastern part of Ahmednagar district so that taking the two districts together, a rough line of delineation running north south can be imagined which distinguishes the rainfall characteristics in the talukas to the west of the line to the rainfall characteristic in the talukas to the east. This tentative conclusion will be confirmed by the study of actual rainfall data over the region.

Authors: Kamal Robin N. , Shapiro Lauren M.
Published: February 2022

The Management of Distal Radius Fractures Evidence-Based Clinical Practice Guideline is based on a systematic review of published studies for the treatment of distal radius fractures in adults older than 18 years. The scope of this guideline is limited to the treatment of acute distal radius fractures and does not address distal radius malunion. This guideline contains seven recommendations to assist orthopaedic surgeons and all qualified physicians managing patients with acute distal radius fractures based on the best current available evidence. It serves as an information resource for professional healthcare practitioners and developers of practice guidelines and recommendations. In addition to providing pragmatic practice recommendations, this guideline also highlights gaps in the literature and informs areas for future research and quality measure development.

Background:

The goals of this study were to compare the utilization and costs of ambulatory surgery centers (ASCs) versus hospital outpatient department (HOPD) for commonly performed outpatient orthopaedic surgical procedures.

Methods:

Commercially insured patients undergoing elective, outpatient orthopaedic surgery were queried using an administrative claims database. We queried the following surgeries: carpal tunnel release, lumbar microdiskectomy, anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction, knee arthroscopy, arthroscopic rotator cuff repair, and bunion repair. Total costs were defined as the sum of all payments for a surgical episode. Professional fees were defined as payments to the primary orthopaedic surgeon and technical fees as all other payments. Comparisons between ASC and HOPD reimbursements were conducted using bivariate statistics and generalized linear models controlling for patient age, sex, and Elixhauser comorbidity index.

Results:

Among 990,980 cases of outpatient orthopaedic surgery done from 2013 to 2018, the utilization rate of ASCs increased from 31% to 34% across all procedures assessed: compound annual growth rate of 3.3% for lumbar microdiscectomy, 1.8% for knee arthroscopy, 1.4% for anterior cruciate ligament, 1.4% for carpal tunnel release, 1.2% for arthroscopic rotator cuff repair, and 0.5% for bunion repair (P < 0.001 for all). The average total costs were 26% lower at ASCs than HOPDs (P < 0.001 for each procedure). The average technical fees were 33% lower at ASCs than HOPDs (P < 0.001 for each procedure). Both total costs and technical fees were less for ASCs than HOPDs after controlling for patient age, sex, and Elixhauser comorbidity index (P < 0.001 for each procedure). Over the study period, the mean total costs at HOPDs increased by 2.5% yearly, whereas the mean total costs at ASCs decreased by 0.1% yearly. The average surgeon professional fees declined in both care settings over time.

Conclusion:

From 2013 to 2018, there was an increase in ASC utilization for common outpatient orthopaedic surgeries. ASCs were overall less costly than HOPDs for outpatient orthopaedic surgeries.

Employer branding is an important recruitment practice, which correspondingly delivers an important contribution to the retention of employees. Thus, the main purpose of this study is to identify the impact of employer branding on employee retention with reference to a selected multinational organization that operates in Sri Lanka, which is a leading brand in the global beverage industry. The research utilized a deductive research approach, and data were gathered from 126. Simple random sampling technique was utilized in the research where the data was gathered from 126 employees in the selected globally operating multinational organization which has large employer brand, in Sri Lanka. Inferential statistics, Pearson’s correlation coefficient and multiple linear regression analysis was employed to derive conclusions in the study. Accordingly, it is found that employer branding has a positive and highly significant impact on employee retention. Furthermore, the study concludes that the work life balance and training and development are the variables that have a critical impact on employee retention, while corporate social responsibility has no significant impact towards employee retention. The completion of the study would lead to enhance the knowledge on employer branding as well as to provide practical implications to follow in the future.

Published: February 2022

As we scale up engagement with communities around the world, how do we ensure that the foundational engagement principles of responsiveness, respect, and accessibility are never compromised? While community engagement is important and can have a dramatic positive impact, it can also result in unintended negative consequences for all stakeholders, including community members, students, faculty, and staff. At Penn State, we are developing a framework for an Engagement Review Board (ERB) to proactively educate university members about the principles and best practices of engagement, and to work with them to ensure that collaborative projects benefit all stakeholders in spirit and substance. This article summarizes the larger challenge of equitable community engagement and makes the case that there is a need for additional protection such as through an ERB. The various resources and functions that can be provided by an ERB across the life cycle of engagement projects are described. The objective is to stimulate discussion on how we can collectively develop an infrastructure—undergirded by a “culture of concern” rather than a “culture of compliance”—to strengthen and mainstream community engagement without making it more onerous to all stakeholders.
