Authors: Roy Santanu , Singh Gurpreet , Kalra Naresh
Published: December 2024

The robustness of pharmaceutical dosage forms entails optimizing both the formulation and the level of excipients to obtain the desired quality features. To optimize the formulation in this investigation, a factorial design approach was adopted. For enhancing the dissolution of a Biopharmaceutics Classification (BCS) Class II drug, a two-level four-factor partial factorial design was advocated. Factorial design is a method for systematically determining the relationship between independent process factors and their effect on the response variable. Partial factorial designs were applied in this research work. The particle size distribution of Lactose Anhydrous is used as a dependent variable and Sodium Starch Glycolate (Primojel/Type A) and Magnesium Stearate, Pregelatinised starch (Lycatab)/Anhydrous Lactose/Lactose Anhydrous (Super Tab 21 AN) ratio and the Particle size distribution were used as independent variables for optimization. Response parameters for the final Bicalutamide Tablets 50mg were the percentage of Bicalutamide Tablets 50mg dissolved at thirty minutes. The factorial design models were validated for accurate prediction of response characteristics and used to identify the optimum formulation. Response parameters for final Bicalutamide Tablets 50mg were the percentage of Bicalutamide Tablets 50mg dissolved at thirty minutes. The data were analyzedand response surfaces were generated for tablet percentage of dissolution and content uniformity.

Authors: Mohammed Al-Qussain Abdellaziz , Thomas Dixon , Jagdale Rajaram
Published: December 2024

Background: Patients with End-Stage Kidney Disease (ESKD) have complex medication regimens and specific food recommendations. Dietary restrictions and medication burden places dialysis patients at risk for drug-disease, food-disease, drug-food and drug-drug interactions and more. Ideal nutritional practices are challenging in maintenance hemodialysis (HD) patients, yet it has been found to be crucial in obtaining positive clinical and health outcomes. This study was to evaluate the impact of counseling by a clinical pharmacy researcher on ideal dietary practices and assess the food-drug and drug-drug interactions within this patient population. Methods: The study was a pre-post intervention design that included patients undergoing maintenance hemodialysis in a United Arab Emirates tertiary-level care hospital. The study adopted a population-based approach and involved counseling conducted by a clinical pharmacy researcher with the help of nutritionist in the study site. Data was processed using SPSS version 26 for descriptive analysis. Results: Data of 47 participants were analyzed. A significant improvement in ideal dietary practices were reported by the study participants after counseling compared to their practices before counseling (P 0.001). Food-drug interactions were significantly higher than drug-drug interactions and a significant association between food-drug interactions and malnutrition symptoms were found (P 0.001). Conclusion: Nutritional counseling to maintenance HD patients by a pharmacy professional improved patient reported ideal nutritional/dietary behaviors. This illustrates the importance of clinical pharmacy reinforcement to nutritionist services for patient care. Pharmacy professionals can integrate drug counseling with nutritional counseling in addition to nutritionist counseling.

Authors: Benny Merina , Antony Benny , T Kuruvilla Binu , Kumar Gupta Nishant
Published: December 2024

The current study sought to assess the safety of amla extract (Tri-Low®) in rats by acute and repeated dose (90-days) administration as per the OECD (Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development) guidelines 423 and 408, respectively. In acute toxicity, amla extract was given to overnight starved rats as single dose (2000 mg/kg). Daily clinical symptoms of abnormality/mortality were studied by a veterinarian for 2 weeks period. In the repeated dose study (90 days; sub chronic) amla extract was orally given to rats at low (100mg/kg), medium (500 mg/kg) and high (1000 mg/kg) dose for 3 months. Hematological and biochemical markers were measured after 90 days of feeding. The histopathology of all main organs was also investigated. No death or clinical abnormalities were found in the acute toxicity investigation at 2000 mg/kg; thus, LD50 in rats was recorded as >2000mg/kg (GHS category 5). In the sub-chronic study, there were no visible adverse effects at any dose after repeated feeding of amla extract for 90 days. The hematological and biochemistry data of all the rats were in normal range and there was no statistically significant difference between control and amla extract fed rats (p>0.05). The histology of all the organs was normal for all the groups. The NOAEL (No-Observed-Adverse-Effect-Level) for amla extract in this investigation was established as 1000mg/kg daily. It can be inferred that Tri-Low® is safe to use as a daily food supplement for the management of cardiac and metabolic health.

Evaluation of the Duration of Albedo Measurement Campaigns
Authors: Mau Stefan , Sharpe Adam , Gertig Christian , Campistron Christophe , Garcia Julia , Chouleur Nicolas
Published: December 2024

Bifacial PV modules are increasingly used in commercial solar PV projects. With the use of the solar energy available at the module’s rear surface, the correct estimation of the albedo during the pre-construction phase of commercial projects becomes more important. The intention of the study is to determine the impact of the duration of a short-term albedo measurement campaign to reduce the uncertainty with respect to satellite albedo, thus providing a ‘beneficial campaign’. Albedo measurements from seven sites in the USA have been used to estimate the impact of 1-day and 7-day measurements (short-term measurements) on the simulated annual electrical energy production. Simulations based on monthly albedo data obtained from a recognised satellite provider have been compared with simulations where the albedo has been corrected based on short-term measurements. The study found that a 1-day campaign is often not beneficial, causing an increase in uncertainty with respect to satellite albedo. Measurement campaigns in winter do not generally reduce the error of the annual electrical energy production simulation, however, a 7-day campaign undertaken in summer appears to often reduce the uncertainty. It should be noted that the climate conditions, ground vegetation and measurement setup of the analysed seven sites in the USA may not be representative for other sites in the rest of the world.
Preface: SiliconPV 2024, the 14th International Conference on Crystalline Silicon Photovoltaics
Authors: Dubois Sébastien
Published: December 2024

The SiliconPV 2024 conference brought together nearly 300 scientists and engineers from 27 countries, with 142 abstracts approved by reviewers and presented through 61 oral talks and 71 posters, both onsite and online. 10 submissions were retracted. The conference served as a vibrant platform for exchanging knowledge, sharing ideas, and fostering collaboration among PV experts worldwide.
The silicon solar community is witnessing a remarkable period of progress and innovation. Single-junction silicon cells and modules continue to achieve significant advancements, even as they approach the theoretical efficiency limit. In recent months, new benchmarks have been reached for heterojunction and TOPCon devices, with cutting-edge strategies driving further progress. This momentum is even more evident in perovskite-on-silicon tandems, which have now achieved efficiency levels exceeding 34%.
Simultaneously, the growth in module production capacities remains robust, positioning the solar manufacturing sector to scale up to the terawatt level – a critical step toward addressing global warming. Bold plans for new gigafactories are taking shape worldwide, highlighting an era of expansion.
However, reaching terawatt-scale solar deployment brings its own set of challenges. Beyond manufacturing improvements, the key hurdles lie in ensuring solar technology matures into a fully sustainable industrial sector.
These themes – from pioneering concepts in single-junction and tandem cells to sustainable industrial solutions, from advanced silicon materials to high-quality, dependable modules, and from innovative manufacturing techniques to optimizing energy output and costs – were central to the discussions at the SiliconPV 2024 conference held in April, 2024, in Chambéry.
We are deeply grateful to the many experts who contributed to reviewing abstracts and full manuscripts, culminating in these valuable proceedings. These proceedings are not just a record of the event; they are a critical resource for the community. By exploring the insights and advancements documented here, we hope you will find inspiration to develop novel technologies that accelerate the energy transition. Together, we can shape a brighter future by ensuring clean and affordable energy is accessible to everyone.
ANÁLISE DE PUBLICAÇÕES SOBRE O LEVANTAMENTO DE ESPÉCIES DA ORDEM COLEOPTERA NO MUNICÍPIO DE SOROCABA: UMA REVISÃO BIBLIOGRÁFICA
Authors: Fábio Navarro Manfredini
Published: December 2024

A ordem Coleoptera é a maior de insetos e uma das mais diversificadas de todo o reino animal. Os besouros são frequentemente utilizados como bioindicadores devido à sua sensibilidade às mudanças ambientais. Espécies de coleópteros são frequentemente estudadas em programas de monitoramento ambiental para avaliar a qualidade do solo, níveis de poluição e efeitos de desmatamento. A diversidade de besouros pode ser um reflexo direto da saúde do ecossistema, tornando-os um grupo importante em estudos de conservação. O objetivo deste artigo foi realizar uma análise crítica e abrangente das publicações científicas sobre as espécies de besouros, com o intuito de identificar e catalogar as espécies documentadas em estudos realizados no município de Sorocaba – SP. Foram encontradas e analisadas 14 publicações pertinentes ao objeto de estudo. O tema mais abordado nas publicações foi a bioluminescência e as espécies mais estudadas pertencem a família Lampyridae. Conforme verificado a diversidade da ordem Coleoptera no município de Sorocaba é pouco estudada. A falta de pesquisas sistematizadas sobre essa ordem, que inclui um dos maiores e mais diversos grupos de insetos, implica na subestimação da riqueza biológica da região, o que afeta diretamente estratégias de conservação e manejo ambiental. Essa escassez de dados reflete uma lacuna no planejamento de ações de conservação. A falta de conhecimento sobre a presença e status das espécies de Coleoptera em Sorocaba significa que muitas delas podem estar ameaçadas de extinção sem que isso seja percebido. Estudos sobre diversidade biológica são fundamentais para a formulação de políticas públicas que promovam a proteção dos habitats naturais e das espécies endêmicas ou em risco.
Financial institutions and women’s access to credit: Implications on women’s empowerment, collectives and natural resource management
Authors: Gurung Goodrich Chanda , Bastola Aditya
Published: December 2024

Social and gender norms influence, if not shape, women’s economic sufficiency and empowerment. Ignoring social and gender norms have resulted in conflict in households and communities, often leading to changes in the intra-household and community dynamics. This has led to negative implications, especially for women, the poor and the marginalised. Importantly, this has resulted in the failure of well-intended efforts towards sustainable management of natural resources, women’s economic empowerment and in addressing the adverse impacts of changing climatic conditions. Financial institutions, despite their good intent, have played an integral role in perpetuating such consequences. The paper highlights that women’s easy access to financial institutions at the local level have had adverse impacts on their time, well-being, solidarity and the sustainable management of natural resources. It explores the uneasy negotiations at households, and between financial institutions and women’s groups for loan repayments, how women and men use financial services, and their impacts on the notion of women’s solidarity and sufficiency. The study takes the support of examples of impacts on women’s condition and position from women-led financial circuits, gathered from secondary literature and empirical evidence from Nibuwa-Tankhuwa Watershed Management Plan in Dhankuta, Nepal. It highlights lessons on whether these institutions can synergise the adaptation measures of the local communities, suggesting areas of opportunity for gender mainstreaming within institutions to increase women’s positions through women-led financial circuits.

Abstract: This paper utilizes MATLAB/Simulink to simulate the vibration characteristics of the quarter-front MacPherson independent suspension of a sightseeing vehicle under random road conditions. Key performance indicators, including vehicle body acceleration, suspension deflection, and tire dynamic load, are comprehensively investigated. Focusing on the influence of suspension stiffness and damping on ride comfort and the service life of the vehicle, we conduct a comparative analysis by gradually changing the stiffness and damping parameters from the original design. Comparison of the simulation results across different stiffness and damping settings provides a profound understanding of how these parameters significantly affect the ride comfort and service life of the sightseeing vehicle. These findings not only provide valuable guidance for the design and manufacturing of customized optimized suspension systems for sightseeing vehicles, but also enrich the content and broaden the scope of current research.

Abstract: Scene understanding is a core issue for autonomous vehicles. However, its implementation has been thwarted by various outstanding issues, such as understanding forest roads in unknown field environments. Traditional three-dimensional (3D) point clouds or 3D estimation of fused data consume large amounts of memory and energy, making these methods less reliable in new energy vehicles with limited computational, memory, and energy resources. In this study, we propose a lightweight method to understand forest roads using a low-cost monocular camera. We extracted and clustered spatially similar texture projections based on oblique effect. Through the relative relationship between vanishing points and texture projections, contour lines can be estimated. After that, searching for the corresponding supporting evidence lines, we can segment the surface of the forest road, which can provide a decision basis for the automatic driving control system of new energy vehicles with limited resources. Unlike deep learning methods that are extremely resource-consuming, the proposed method requires no prior training, no calibration, and no internal parameters of the camera. At the same time, pure geometric reasoning makes the method robust to the ever-changing colors and lighting in the forest environment. The percentage of correctly classified pixels is compared to the ground truth. The experimental results show that the method can successfully understand forest roads and meet the requirements of autonomous navigation in forest environments for new energy vehicles with limited resources.
Innovative Approaches to Managing the Mammalian Microbiome: Evidence for the Role of Anabiomics
Authors: Waring Rosemary H , Dagi T. Forcht , Hunter John O
Published: December 2024

Objective: Mammals normally digest dietary polysaccharides in the upper gastrointestinal tract using amylase enzymes released from the pancreas. Should the process of polysaccharide digestion be incomplete, either because the carbohydrate load is too high or because the amylase activity is too low, then undigested residues may reach the lower bowel where they act as substrates for the growth of colonic bacteria. This cascade can generate an increase in pathogenic bacteria with the formation of toxic metabolites, increased inflammation, and greater gut wall permeability. Horses are often fed large amounts of starch-based feeds once or twice/day while dogs, which generally have low levels of pancreatic amylase, are frequently fed carbohydrate-rich diets. Both species are susceptible to gut dysfunction. This report explores the novel use of an enzyme-rich malt extract (ERME) to improve digestion and alter the gut microbiome in these two species.

Methods: Leisure horses and dogs were maintained on standard diets and fed ERME (0.7mL/kg/bw) for 8 weeks. Faecal samples were collected before the start of the study and then at the end. These were frozen at -80◦C then analysed by specific ion flow tube mass spectrometry (SIFT/MS). The resulting data was used to perform principal components analysis for metabolomics with identification of volatile biomarkers of effect. Metagenomic analysis (16S) was used to identify bacteria in the microbiome, after isolation of DNA and analysis of the 16S RNA.

Results: In horses, the short chain fatty acids (SCFAs) were increased after supplementation with ERME, with overall decreases in dimethyl disulphide and ethanol, representing a decrease in toxicity. In dogs, all animals showed a reduction in at least one of the toxic compounds (ammonia, methanol, ethanol) while generally showing increases in SCFAs. Post supplementation with ERME, horses generally had lower levels of Spirochaetes with increased levels of Fibrobacter, Ruminococcaceae, Blautia and Oscillospira. Dogs showed reduced levels of Spirochaetes and Proteobacteria but higher levels of Blautia.

Conclusion: In both species, the use of additional digestive enzymes in a maltodextrin matrix supports an improved microbiome.

Water is precious natural resource for sustaining life and environment. Effective and sustainable management of water resources is vital for ensuring sustainable development. In view of the vital importance of water for human and animal life, for maintaining ecological balance and for economic and developmental activities of all kinds, and considering its increasing scarcity, the planning and management of water resource and its optimal, economical and equitable use has become a matter of the utmost urgency. Sustainable water resources in India is of paramount importance to sustain one billion plus population. The water resources management practices should be based on increasing the water supply and managing the water demand under the stressed water availability conditions. For maintaining the quality of freshwater, water quality management strategies are required to be evolved and implemented. Decision support systems are required to be developed for sustainable water development in Nellore District. There is interplay of various factors that govern access and utilization of water resources and in light of the increasing demand for water it becomes important to look for holistic and people-centered approaches for water management. Safe drinking water can be assured, provided we set our mind to address it. The present article deals with the review of various options for sustainable water resource management in Nellore. Nellore district is one of the 9 coastal districts and it is situated in the south eastern part of Andhra Pradesh. Agriculturally it is an important district. The district has a coastline of 169 km. It is endowed by good rainfall and surface water.

Analysis of land use and land cover dynamics in the Sind watershed of Kashmir provides valuable insights into the changes that have occurred in the region over the past three decades. The use of satellite images from Landsat 5 TM in 1995, 2005, and Landsat 8 TM in 2015 and 2019 with a spatial resolution of 30m allows for a comprehensive and detailed analysis of the changes in the study area. The images were processed using ArcGIS 10.2.2 and ERDAS Imagine 14, and land use classes identified. The results of the study showed that there has been a significant increase in farmland and settlement areas in the past 25 years. This increase can be attributed to the growing population and the increasing demand for agricultural production and urbanization. These changes have important implications for the ecosystem and the environment, as well as for the livelihoods of the local people. The conversion of natural lands, such as forests and grasslands, into agricultural or urban areas can lead to habitat loss and degradation, soil erosion, and increased runoff and pollution. The retrospective analysis of land use and land cover dynamics in the Sind watershed of Kashmir provides important information for decision-makers and highlights the need for sustainable land use practices to ensure the protection of the ecosystem and the livelihoods of the local people. The findings of this study can inform policies aimed at promoting sustainable land use and environmental management in the region.

O Brasil é o segundo maior produtor de laranjas do mundo em terceiro a União Europeia, onde a China encontra-se na primeira colocação. No Nordeste é uma atividade importante, especialmente nos estados da Bahia, Pernambuco e Sergipe. O estado de Alagoas, possui condições climáticas favoráveis para o cultivo da fruta, com temperaturas elevadas, disponibilidade de água e solos adequados. O objetivo geral desse trabalho foi analisar no estado de Alagoas, sobre o manejo adequado de plantas daninhas em citros e sua influência na produtividade. A metodologia utilizada foi na área experimental localizada no Campus de Engenharias e Ciências Agrárias, da Universidade Federal de Alagoas CECA – UFAL, no município de Rio Largo, sob as coordenadas geográficas 9º28’29,1” de latitude sul e 35º49’43,6” de longitude oeste e a 127 m de altitude. Foi possível observar ainda, que o uso de herbicidas é uma das formas mais eficientes de controle de plantas daninhas na cultura. Por fim, concluiu-se que, o manejo com cobertura morta foi eficiente no controle das plantas daninhas, resultando também em maior número de frutos. A capina com enxada, o controle químico e a cobertura morta foram eficazes no controle das plantas daninhas. A Urochloa decumbens, Crotalária juncea e amendoim forrageiro, controlam satisfatoriamente as plantas daninhas, no entanto, reduziram o número de frutos.
Progress and Development Trend of Drought Disaster Research Based on Bibliometric Analysis
Authors: Cheng Liurun
Published: December 2024

With the intensification of climate change and the acceleration of urbanization, extreme climate events are occurring with increasing frequency. The associated drought disasters have caused significant economic losses, threatened human health, and destabilized ecosystems, making the study of drought disasters a focal point in academia. This paper employs bibliometric analysis methods such as Kleinberg's burst detection algorithm and cluster analysis to conduct a keyword co-occurrence analysis of 1,524 papers indexed in the Web of Science database from 1977 to 2021. By constructing a visualized knowledge graph, this study identifies the key research hotspots and future trends in drought studies. The main conclusions are as follows: (1) Fundamental research areas of drought disasters are rooted in scientific issues such as meteorological disasters, climate change, and drought. (2) The number of publications on drought disasters has shown an overall upward trend, progressing through three stages: initial exploration, fluctuating growth, and rapid growth. (3) The scope of drought disaster research has expanded beyond traditional precipitation and meteorological studies. Recent and future research hotspots include agricultural drought, its impacts on the sustainable livelihoods and adaptive capacities of smallholder farmers, the understanding of compound events, and responses to climate change and its impacts.
Research on Vulnerability Assessment of Disaster Bearing Bodies Based on AHP-Cloud Model
Authors: Yuan Xushan
Published: December 2024

This study selects 16 vulnerability indicators of meteorological disaster-bearing bodies in Yining County based on socio-economic data to construct a vulnerability assessment system for meteorological disaster-bearing bodies, including population vulnerability, economic vulnerability, and social vulnerability. The AHP-Cloud model is utilized to assign weights to each indicator, and the vulnerability and spatial-temporal distribution characteristics of the population-economy-society disaster-bearing bodies in Yi Ning County are evaluated and analyzed. The results show that (1) Demographic, economic, and social factors significantly affect the vulnerability of meteorological disaster-bearing bodies in Yi Ning County. High aging, young age, and population growth exacerbate vulnerability, while the economy, road network, and construction land affect social vulnerability. (2) The population vulnerability in Yi Ning County is influenced by topography, with low vulnerability in the north and high vulnerability in the south. The southern plains are highly vulnerable due to their high population density. From 2005 to 2020, population growth and aging exacerbated population vulnerability, and economic and social vulnerability exhibited similar spatial-temporal differences as population vulnerability. (3) Overall, the vulnerability of meteorological disaster-bearing bodies in Yi ning County is mainly dominated by population and economy. Towns and villages in the south have high vulnerability, and the overall trend is increasing. These conclusions can provide scientific evidence for relevant departments in Yi Ning County to reduce the vulnerability of meteorological disaster-bearing bodies and improve disaster prevention and mitigation capabilities.
