Authors: A Bhageerathy , Murali Sandhya , Thomas eny Sara , Vasanthkumar Sigi , V V Prasanth
Published: July 2021

A total of nine formulations of fast dissolving films of Losartan Potassium were developed by solvent casting method using film
forming polymers such as HPMC E5, E15 and E50 and other film modifiers. The appearances of films were transparent, thin, flexible,
elastic, smooth and transparent. The weight variation ranged between 16.14 ± 0.192 and 17.31 ± 0.313 and showed that there was
no significant difference in the weight of individual formulations. All the formulations showed more than 150 of folding endurance.
The drug content was found to be in an acceptable range for all the formulations which indicated uniform distribution of drug. A rapid
dissolution of all the film was observed by the dissolution test, in which above 90% of Losartan Potassium was released within 5 min. The formulation F1 showed maximum drug release (98.73) within 5 minutes. Based on the in vitro drug release, drug content and in vitro disintegration time it is found that F1 was selected as the best formulation. The formulations showed satisfactory physical stability at 40°C at 75 % RH. Losartan Potassium (LOSAR-25) is shown in Figure 4. From the results of comparative studies of marketed product and it found that F1 showed 98.73% release within 5 min and LOSAR 25 showed 90.76% release in 30 min. In vitro studies indicate that this potential drug delivery system has considerably good stability and release profile. Nevertheless, further in vivo studies are warranted to confirm these results.

Distribution of Dockerfiles: Who is responsible for FOSS Licence Compliance?
Authors: Jaeger Till
Published: July 2021

The deployment of Docker is becoming increasingly popular as container technology allows for a unified software distribution that is largely independent of the target system. This raises new questions of FOSS license compliance. The reason is that in addition to the complete software distribution as a “Docker image”, so-called Dockerfiles can be used, which - similar to a script - contain a kind of construction manual for the software which may include downloads from third party repositories. Such form of decentralized distribution raises the question of responsibility for compliance with the license conditions. This article sheds light on the concept of “distribution” under European copyright law as a starting point for the interpretation of free licenses. In the course of the study, it is shown that physical distribution and distribution in the meaning of copyright law do not always have to be congruent. This article was created in collaboration with and funded by the Open Source Automation Development Lab (OSADL) eG (www.osadl.org).

The purpose of this research is to study the provision of logistics services in the context of Industry 4.0 and analyze the level of application of modern technologies in the field of transport and logistics based on an assessment of the relationship between technological readiness, the development of innovation and the efficiency of logistics in Kazakhstan. Based on data from the World Bank and the World Economic Forum on the Logistics Performance Index (LPI) and Global Competitiveness (GCI), a correlation analysis was made between the indicators of technological readiness, innovation and the Logistics Performance sub-indices. Also, based on the data of a sample study by the Bureau of National Statistics of the Agency for Strategic Planning and Reforms of the Republic of Kazakhstan on the use of ICT, the main trends in the development of digital technologies in the field of transport and warehousing in the country have been identified. Correlation analysis showed that in Kazakhstan the level of technological readiness has a strong relationship with the development of logistics efficiency parameters: customs, tracking of cargo transportation, quality of service and competence, quality of infrastructure, adherence to delivery times. It should be noted that the development of logistics is not associated with the innovative development of the country, this is due to the low level of innovation in the country. The study of statistical data in Kazakhstan revealed a low level of digital transformation of the transport and logistics sector: there is a passive use of digital technologies at transport and warehousing enterprises, a low level of investment in digitalization, the need for personnel in the field of ICT in logistics.

Published: July 2021

The COVID-19 pandemic has accelerated the development of FinTech and the transition to cashless payments of the population of various countries, including Kazakhstan. For provision of cashless payments there are created platforms which work in NFC & MFS systems, they protected by security protocols (Secure Element (SE)) and allow to store confidential user data. Changes in the business model of banks have led to the emergence of a new format of banking products and services that can be used through smartphones (the main operating systems Android and iOS). The goal of the study is to analyze the dynamics of the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the use of cashless payments through national payment systems in Kazakhstan. Based on the goal, a null and an alternative hypothesis were set, of which the second was confirmed in the result. Research methods used to write this article are economic and statistical analysis and synthesis, graphical method, analysis of the series of dynamics. The data for the study was taken from the NBK Statistical Bulletin: data on cashless payments through the Interbank System of Money Transfer (ISMT) and the Interbank Clearing System (ICS) for the period from 2002 to 2020. The impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the dynamics of the transformation of cashless payments made by using financial technologies has been proved. Recommendations for further improvement of the financial system are given. The development of national payment systems makes it possible to reduce the level of fraud in the financial sector, to increase the speed of cashless transfers and level out transaction errors.

Authors: Turysbekova A. B. , Omurzakova A. K.
Published: July 2021

The peculiarities of the regional development of Kazakhstan, the variety of production, the initial level of resources in different regions, various reforms of the market economy have led to the uneven development of the regions of Kazakhstan. A region or regional economy is a subsystem of the “national economy” macrosystem. And the national economy is the internal system of the global world economy. Regional development is development based on three characteristics and qualities: interrelated stability, proportionality and social orientation. Basically, the effective development of an individual region means the use of certain factors and potentials through the creation of value in a market economy. However, it is not possible to have a common development strategy for the whole regions. Because each region has its own conditions of development, economic and social potential. Therefore, these factors should be taken into account in the development of the regional economy. The main task of the regional policy of Kazakhstan is to increase the competitiveness of the region in a market economy, employment and living standards of the population of the region through the full use of its production and resource potential. The purpose of this article is to identify trends in the socio-economic development of the regions of Kazakhstan. The article defines the concepts of “region”, “regional development” as a system and gives their main characteristics. Trends in the socio-economic development of the regions of Kazakhstan were determined by grouping the regions of Kazakhstan on the basis of socio-economic indicators and analysis of statistical data and facts. In conclusion, it was noted that the socio-economic development of the regions of Kazakhstan is at a high level. Today, the socio-economic development of the regions of Kazakhstan is much higher than in previous years. This means that the development of certain regions means an increase in the quality of life, employment, economic growth of the country.

From Ashes to Ashes: The Heroic Struggle of an Autistic Boy Trying to be Born and Stay Alive
Authors: Brown Lawrence J.
Published: July 2021

This paper investigates the concept of psychogenic autism that has been proposed by Frances Tustin. Her work centers on the dynamics of this serious illness with an emphasis on the infant’s experiences in the earliest connection with the mother. Tustin writes that the sudden and violent disruption of the skin-to-skin maternal/infant contact gives rise to pathological attempts to heal this separation; namely, through the infant’s shutting out contact with the external emotional world. An extensive clinical vignette is offered to illustrate how these dynamics are manifest clinically and the author’s efforts to establish a meaningful connection with a young patient. Transference and countertransference reactions are discussed in detail.

Analysis of the 2D complex Ginzburg-Landau Equation using Singular Value Decomposition
Authors: Gottry Emily , Ding Edwin
Published: July 2021

The cubic-quintic Ginzburg-Landau equation (CQGLE) governs the dynamics of solitons in lasers and many optical systems. Using data obtained from the simulations of the CQGLE, we performed a singular value decomposition (SVD) to create a low dimensional model that qualitatively predicts the stability of the solitons as a function of the energy gain constant. It was found both in the full simulations and in the low dimensional model that the soliton becomes unstable when the gain exceeds a certain threshold value. Both the low dimensional model and the full simulation demonstrated the same qualitative behavior when the soliton loses stability.

EFFECT OF TETRAHYDROCURCUMIN IN STREPTOZOTOCIN - NICOTINAMIDE INDUCED DIABETES
Authors: Murugan Pidaran
Published: July 2021

Diabetes is a major health problem affecting major populations worldwide. It is characterized by absolute or relative deficiencies in insulin secretion and/or insulin action associated with chronic hyperglycemia and disturbances of carbohydrate, lipid and protein metabolism. As a consequence of the metabolic derangements in diabetes, various complications develop including both macro and micro-vascular dysfunctions. Pancreatic cell dysfunction and insulin resistance are the two hallmarks of type 2 diabetes mellitus. Treatment of diabetes without any side effects is still a challenge to the medical system. There is an increasing demand by patients to use the natural products with antidiabetic activity, because insulin and oral hypoglycemic drugs are having so many side effects. Streptozotocin (STZ)-nicotinamide type 2 model shares a number of features with human type 2 diabetes and is characterized by moderate stable hyperglycemia, glucose intolerance, altered but significant glucose-stimulated insulin secretion, in vivo and in vitro. Tetrahydrocurcumin (THC) is one of the major colorless metabolite of curcumin. THC has been reported to exhibit the same physiological and pharmacological properties of curcumin. Curcumin is rapidly metabolized during absorption from the intestine, yielding THC, which has shown the strongest antioxidant activity among all curcuminoids. THC one of the active metabolites in curcumin on blood glucose and plasma insulin in streptozotocin induced diabetic rats. Different doses of THC (20, 40 and 80 mg\kg body weight) were orally administered to diabetic rats for 45 days, after which activities 6-weeks treatment with various doses of THC and curcumin on glucose levels were assayed
Ecological variation among island foxes relative to reproductive events
Authors: Powers Robyn M. , Cypher Brian L. , Ralls Katherine , Randall Jan A. , Kelly Erica C.
Published: July 2021

Ecological attributes of a species can vary as resource requirements and social interactions change in response to the annual reproductive cycle. We examined variation in home range size, home range overlap, activity (2005–2006), and food item selection (2006–2007) of island foxes (Urocyon littoralis) on San Nicolas Island relative to reproduction-related events. Home ranges, particularly for males, were larger during the mating period compared with the post-mating, pup-rearing, and non-reproduction periods. Home range overlap with non-mate neighbors also increased during the mating period. The greater home range size and overlap during the mating season is consistent with foxes, particularly males, traveling into the ranges of neighboring pairs in an attempt to secure extra-pair copulations. Daily activity patterns did not vary among the reproductive periods. Use of vertebrate prey items increased during the period when adults would have been provisioning weaning young. These items (e.g., mice, birds, lizards) are protein-rich and easier to transport compared with smaller items (e.g., fruits, snails, insects) that also are commonly consumed by island foxes. Variation in ecological attributes among island foxes across the different seasons defined by reproductive events likely represents efforts to maximize mating opportunities, particularly among adult males, and to secure optimal resources for provisioning growing young. These patterns are consistent with those observed among other small canid species.
1 Timotius 2:11-15: Sebuah Argumentasi Paulus Bagi Kesetaraan Gender Di Dalam Kepenilikan Jemaat Lokal
Authors: Andalangi Jammer Prayerson
Published: July 2021

The debate between biblical patriarchy, complementarianism, and egalitarianism continues until this very day. One of the frequently used texts to prohibit women’s role as teachers and leaders in a local church is 1 Timothy 2:11-15. Hierarchical argumentations have failed to understand Paul’s techniques for showing emphasis through a gradual or logical sequence of words in effective sentences, as well as his reference to the creation and fall story. This research investigates the text in a comparative study with Genesis 1-3. This research uses a grammatical-historical hermeneutic method that examines Paul’s logical development of argument, situations behind the statements, and different subgenres used in the letter. This research finds that Paul’s techniques for showing emphasis through words of gradual sequence and allusion to Genesis 1-3 are a defense for an equal imago Dei of man and woman and a valid basis for equal authority value of the two in church leadership.

U posljednje vrijeme mogu se uočiti značajke ljudi rođenih od 1996. godine nadalje, a koje se naziva post-milenijalcima ili generacijom Z. Pritom se postavlja pitanje kako se ova generacija može uklopiti u zahtjeve suvremenoga poslovanja, odnosno kako njome upravljati s ciljem njihovoga doprinosa povećanju produktivnosti, efikasnosti, efektivnosti, ali i održivosti. Generaciju Z primarno određuje njihova stopljenost s informacijsko-komunikacijskom tehnologijom te konzumacija velikoga broja informacijskih sadržaja, što dovodi i do mnogih nepovoljnih značajki poput smanjenoga raspona pozornosti. Cilj ovoga rada je utvrditi značajke generacije Z u svrhu definiranja smjernica upravljanja ovih ljudima kao novim ljudskim kapitalom u smislu njihova učinkovitijega učenja, inoviranja, ali i postizanja cilja samoostvarenja.

Ubrzani razvoj tehnologija i njihova sve učestalija primjena unutar poslovnih organizacija stvaraju brojne prednosti u smislu brzine izvršavanja i automatizacije poslovnih procesa, lakšeg pristupa i razmjene informacija, obavljanja poslovnih aktivnosti na daljinu, lakšeg pristupa tržištima, smanjivanja troškova poslovanja i dr. Istodobno, poslovne organizacije izložene su kibernetičkim rizicima odnosno prijetnjama koje postaju sve različitije, složenije te bilježe kontinuiran rast. Različiti oblici kibernetičkih rizika manifestiraju se kroz kompromitaciju informacijskih sustava poslovnih organizacija što može izazvati značajne izravne i neizravne fi nancijske gubitke. Premda je uočena sve veća ranjivosti na kibernetičke rizike, posebno u smislu njihovog intenziteta utjecaja na poslovanje organizacija, i dalje je prisutan manjak aktivnosti upravljanja kibernetičkom sigurnošću. Velik broj poslovnih organizacija ignorira odnosno podcjenjuje kibernetičke rizike ili se oslanja na generičke proizvode. Unatoč činjenici kako kibernetički rizici postaju sve važniji čimbenik utjecaja na poslovanje organizacija i rezultata njihovog djelovanja, istraživanja kibernetičkih rizika u ekonomskoj literaturi te u njezinom užem području upravljanja rizicima, nisu adekvatno zastupljena. Cilj ovog rada je pružiti pregled istraživanja u području ulaganja u kibernetičku sigurnost kao metode fizičke kontrole šteta koja je neizostavna pretpostavka povjerljivost, dostupnost i cjelovitost informacija te informacijskih sustava. Nadalje cilj rada je ulaganje u kibernetičku sigurnost usporediti s metodom financijske kontrole te istaknuti važnost kombiniranja ovih dviju metoda u cilju postizanja kibernetičke sigurnosti.
Condom use and risk of HIV infection among fishers in Elmina fishing community in Ghana
Authors: Kyei-Gyamfi Sylvester
Published: July 2021

This paper is a follow-up to a cross-sectional study which employed a mix-method design for data collection and analysis to investigate the relationship between mobility and human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) risks amongst 385 fishers in Elminafishing community in Ghana. It discusses condom use among fishers andthe perceived barriers in using it and concludes with a discussion on the implications for risks of HIV infection as a result of the reported low condom use among them. The reported low usage suggests the engagement in unprotected sex of the fishers and the likelyhoodtheir exposure to sexually transmitted infections such as HIV in the study area. The paper thus recommends on-going and future HIV education programs by the Komenda-Edina-Eguafo-Abirem (KEEA) Municipality Assembly and civil society organisations in Elmina to explore ways of including the supply of free condoms to fishers and at the various fishing destination points along the coast of Elmina. Equally, this outreach or mobile HIV service outlets should emphasize the consistent use of condom within Elmina and the surrounding fishing communities.
Kayayei: A Consequence of Inadequate Family Support and Government Policy Failure

This paper focuses primarily on the current conditions of girls engaged in the ‘Kaya’ business in commercial markets in urban areas in Ghana. The paperaims at establishing the failure of the family and government in addressing the ‘kayayie’ phenomenon in Ghana. The specific objectives are to find the causes, consequences, and attempts made by government to address the phenomenon, and the way forward. The methodology for writing this paper is essentially that of a desk review of available literature and information from the Ministry of Gender Children and Social Protection (MoGCSP), supplemented with academic materials and personal observations. The paper poses the question: why has the family and government failed to address the ‘kayayei’ phenomenon in Ghana? It is positioned on Everett Lee’s Push and Push Model (1960) which explains migration as having factors that either push or pull individuals to move out of places of origin. A major finding of this paper is that budget challenges affect the government’s capacity to provide funds and sustain projects aimed at improving the welfare of kayayei. The paper does not only recommend that issues relating to ‘Kayayei’ should be prioritised but also that a national data collection exercise be embarked upon to collect accurate figures to enable government take informed decisions, and to enhance monitoring and evaluation.

Revisiting the long-term decreasing trend of atmospheric electric potential gradient measured at Nagycenk, Hungary, Central Europe

Abstract. In 2003, a decreasing trend was reported in the long-term (1962–2001) fair weather atmospheric electric potential gradient (PG) measured in the Széchenyi István Geophysical Observatory (NCK; 47∘38′ N, 16∘43′ E), Hungary, Central Europe. The origin of this reduction has been the subject of a long-standing debate, due to a group of trees near the measurement site which reached significant height since the measurements have started. Those trees have contributed to the lowering of the ambient vertical electric field due to their electrostatic shielding effect. In the present study, we attempt to reconstruct the true long-term variation of the vertical atmospheric electric field at NCK. The time-dependent shielding effect of trees at the measurement site was calculated to remove the corresponding bias from the recorded time series. A numerical model based on electrostatic theory was set up to take into account the electrostatic shielding of the local environment. The validity of the model was verified by on-site measurement campaigns. The changing height of the trees between 1962 and 2017 was derived from national-average age–height diagrams for each year. Modelling the time-dependent electrical shielding effect of the trees at NCK revealed that local effects played a pivotal role in the long-term decrease. The results suggest that earlier attempts could not quantify the shielding effect of the trees at NCK accurately. In this work it is found that the reconstructed PG time series at NCK exhibits an increase between 1962 and 1997 followed by a decaying trend since 1997. It is pointed out that long-term variation in summertime and wintertime PG averages should be analysed separately as these may contribute to trends in the annual mean values rather differently.
Role of eddy diffusion in the delayed ionospheric response to solar flux changes

Published: July 2021

Abstract. Simulations of the ionospheric response to solar flux changes driven by the 27 d solar rotation have been performed using the global 3-D Coupled Thermosphere Ionosphere Plasmasphere electrodynamics (CTIPe) physics-based numerical model. Using the F10.7 index as a proxy for solar extreme ultraviolet (EUV) variations in the model, the ionospheric delay at the solar rotation period is well reproduced and amounts to about 1 d, which is consistent with satellite and in situ measurements.
From mechanistic CTIPe studies with reduced and increased eddy diffusion, we conclude that the eddy diffusion is an important factor that influences the delay of the ionospheric total electron content (TEC).
We observed that the peak response time of the atomic oxygen to molecular nitrogen ratio to the solar EUV flux changes quickly during the increased eddy diffusion compared with weaker eddy diffusion.
These results suggest that an increase in the eddy diffusion leads to faster transport processes and an increased loss rate, resulting in a decrease in the ionospheric time delay.
Furthermore, we found that an increase in solar activity leads to an enhanced ionospheric delay. At low latitudes, the influence of solar activity is stronger because EUV radiation drives ionization processes that lead to compositional changes. Therefore, the combined effect of eddy diffusion and solar activity leads to a longer delay in the low-latitude and midlatitude region.
