Authors: ROSHNI VORA  , YAMINI SHAH
Published: October 2019

Objective: The present work aims to compare powder flow properties and post-compression characteristics of acid hydrolysis nanocellulose (AH-NC) a novel excipient with microcrystalline cellulose (MCC PH200) to demonstrate the application and performance of AH-NC.

Methods: I-optimal design was applied separately for both the excipient, i.e., MCC PH200 and AH-NC. Independent variables were MCC PH200 as diluent (X1), AH-NC as diluent (X1), starch as disintegrant (X2), and PVP K30 as dry binder (X3). The dependent variables in design were Carr’s index (CI) (R1), angle of repose (AR) (R2), hardness (R3), friability (R4), disintegration time (DT) (R5), and T90 (R6).

Results: Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) and differential scanning calorimetry studies showed the compatibility of the drug with an excipient. CI was found in the range of 8%–17.84% for MCC PH200 and 5.25%–11.94% for AH-NC. AR was found in the range of 31.48–37.66 for MCC PH200 and 29.62–35.30 for AH-NC. The values of friability, DT, and T90 were almost identical in both the cases.

Conclusion: Not only does AH-NC demonstrates better flow properties but also problems of weight variation and content uniformity are not observed when compared to MCC PH200. Hence, AH-NC is more suitable as an excipient for modern high-speed rotary tablet press.

Authors: TOWSEEF HASSAN  , ELANCHEZHIYAN C  , INSHA NASEER
Published: October 2019

Objective: The aim of the present study was to investigate the hepatoprotectivity effect of perillyl alcohol in high-fat diet (HFD)-low-dose streptozotocin (STZ)-induced diabetic rats.

Methods: Diabetes was induced in male albino Wistar rats by 4 weeks diet manipulation followed by a low single intraperitoneal injection of STZ (35 mg/kg body weight). Perillyl alcohol was administered orally (50 mg/kg body weight and 100 mg/kg body weight) for 30 days. Glibenclamide was used as a standard drug and given orally 6 mg/kg body weight. At the end of treatment period, levels of alkaline phosphatase (ALP), aspartate transaminase (AST) alanine transaminase (ALT), and bilirubin and serum protein were measured in serum of experimental rats. Histopathological studies of liver were also done with microscope.

Results: The levels of ALP, AST ALT, and bilirubin were increased significantly in HFD-STZ-induced diabetic rats. Perillyl alcohol-treated diabetic rats showed marked restoration in the activity of ALP, AST, ALT, and bilirubin when compared with diabetic control rats. Perillyl alcohol and glibenclamide drug-treated rats showed reversible tissue regeneration with prominent hepatocytes.

Conclusion: The present results clearly indicate that the perillyl alcohol has a potent efficacy for hepatoprotective effect in HFD- low-dose STZ-induced diabetic rats.
The ROLE OF HERBAL ANTIFUNGAL AGENTS FOR THE MANAGEMENT OF FUNGAL DISEASES: A SYSTEMATIC REVIEW
Authors: KUSUM KAUSHIK  , SHWETA AGARWAL
Published: October 2019

Nowadays, fungal infection of skin is one of the most common dermatological problems worldwide. It has been investigated that 40 million people suffer from fungal infections. Superficial and subcutaneous fungal infections affect the skin, keratinous tissues, and mucous membranes. The dermatophytic infections, superficial candidiasis of the mouth, skin, or genital tract and infections due to Malassezia, such as pityriasis versicolor and Malassezia folliculitis are the main afflicting conditions. Systemic fungal infections may be caused by either an opportunistic organism that infects an at-risk host or may be associated with a more invasive organism or may be endemic to a specific geographical area. The most frequently encountered pathogens are Candida albicans and Aspergillus spp. but other fungi such as non-albicans Candida spp. are increasingly important in causing systemic fungal infections. There are numerous antifungal agents used clinically to treat fungal infections, i.e., azoles, allylamines, echinocandins, griseofulvin, and flucytosine. The course to modern treatment has not been without its problems and complications, particularly the drug resistances. Phytochemistry of various plant species has indicated that the phytochemicals could be a better source of medicine as compared to synthetically produced drugs. Natural medicines from a plant origin are still used as therapeutic agents, especially for treating bacterial, fungal, viral, protozoal, helminthic infections, etc. This review focuses on the use of plant constituents to prevent fungal infections caused by various pathogens. Hence, it will be proved beneficial for the drug industries.

Published: October 2019

Objective: This study assessed the cytogenetic damage associated with occupational exposure to paints by evaluating exfoliated buccal epithelial cells from car spray painters in Enugu metropolis using some biological markers.

Methods: A total of 352 apparently healthy males, comprising 200 car spray painters and a control group of 152 individuals, participated in the study. Buccal smears were obtained from each participant and were stained using hematoxylin and eosin technique. A total of 1000 cells per individual were scored under light microscopy to determine the frequencies of micronuclei (MN) and binucleate cells (BNC). Structured questionnaires were used to obtain relevant participant information. Expression patterns of Ki-67and p53 genes on the buccal cells were determined by immunocytochemical methods.

Results: Car spray painters had significantly increased frequencies of MN and BNC (*p<0.05) when compared to the control subjects. Paint sprayers aged over 35 years had higher buccal cell MN frequency when compared to those <25 years. Furthermore, car spray painters who have worked for ≥15 years had higher frequencies of MN when compared to those who had worked for <5 years (*p<0.05). Smoking and alcohol consumption increased the MN frequency of the car spray painters (*p<0.05). There was no expression of p53 and Ki-67 genes in the buccal cells of both control and exposed subjects.

Conclusion: Car spray painters in Enugu metropolis may be occupationally exposed to substances capable of inducing genotoxic changes which manifested as increased frequency of MN in their buccal cells.

Authors: PRASAD M  , CHAKRABORTY A  , DEEP N
Published: October 2019

Objectives: Generic medicines constitute an important aspect of affordable health care. “JAN AUSHADHI” campaign was started by the Government of India in 2008 to support generic prescriptions. Recently, medical council of India had requested all clinicians for generic prescriptions. With this background, this study was undertaken to evaluate the knowledge, attitude, and practice of generic medicines among doctors.

Methods: It was a cross-sectional, prospective, questionnaire-based study. After obtaining institute permission, validated questionnaires were distributed to different clinical departments at Vydehi Institute of Medical Sciences and Research Centre, Bengaluru. With gentle reminders in between, filled forms were collected after 7 days.

Results: Mean age of the participants was 29.05±17.81 years. Out of 250 questionnaires distributed, 156 were returned back without responding. The response rate was 62.4%. Out of 156, 35 (22.43%) were intern medical officers, 89 (57.05%) were post-graduates, and 32 (20.51%) were faculty members. Regarding knowledge, the mean score was 6.24±0.17. 52 (33.33%) participants had good knowledge, 73 (46.79%) had average knowledge, and 31 (19.87%) had poor knowledge about generic medicines. Generics were prescribed by 90 (57.69%) participants. Most of the clinicians (66.02%) felt that prescribing in generics is not a burden on them provided government ensured the quality control of drugs. 121 (77.56%) stated that the socioeconomic status of the patient is an important factor while prescribing generics. 136 (87.17%) felt that generics bring down the treatment costs.

Conclusion: This study shows that participants were well aware about generic drugs. As opined by the clinicians, a national level online reference must be made available.

Using New Means of Technology during the Penal Proceedings in Romania
Authors: Magherescu Delia
Published: October 2019

The new legal framework created since 2014 while the new Code of penal procedure entered into force in Romania has opened a different way of approaching the justice in criminal matters. In such a legal context the judicial bodies are more accustomed with the idea of using the new means of technology in such a way not to infringe the parties' procedural rights during the penal trial knowing the fact that using illegal protocols signed by the prosecutor offices with the Romanian Intelligence Service was prohibited by the Constitutional Court of Romania. In the current paper, a qualitative research has been carried out on both legislative and jurisprudence items regarding the new means of technologies currently used in the penal justice. The main purpose of the paper is to analyze the effect of the new means of technology including the use of digital evidence which occur in the penal trial in Romania as well as to discuss the legal consequences they produce in practice. Some practical points of view have been highlighted taking into account the new means of technologies' efficiency. Moreover, in order to improve the penal procedure into force certain proposals of de lege ferenda have been provided.
L’escalation dei mezzi di intrusione nella sfera privata: ripartire dalla Costituzione
Authors: Alonzi Fabio
Published: October 2019

Gli artt. 13, 14 e 15 della Costituzione italiana proclamano i “principi” dell’intangibilità della libertà personale, di domicilio e delle comunicazioni, prevedendo un’articolata disciplina che si fa carico di indicare le condizioni minime per tollerare atti invasivi di queste libertà. Il proliferare di nuove pericolose forme tecnologiche di invasività dematerializzate della sfera personale sembra mettere in crisi queste tutele costituzionali che solo una rivitalizzazione della categoria dell’inviolabilità dei diritti fondamentali della persona consente di rafforzare, fornendo allo stesso tempo le basi concettuali per l’introduzione e la valorizzazione di nuovi strumenti di garanzia quale quello di “domicilio informatico”.

Obtenção de provas digitais por servidores: uma preocupante mudança de paradigma na cooperação internacional
Authors: Daniele Marcello
Published: October 2019

É cada vez mais frequente que as provas digitais relevantes para um processo penal não sejam localizadas no Estado em que ocorreu o cometimento de um crime, e que se encontrem dispersas no cloud, tornando-se dessa forma acessíveis somente por meio da intervenção do service provider que realiza o armazenamento. Nesses caos, os tradicionais instrumentos de cooperação judiciária entram em crise, porque pode tonar-se muito difícil especificar um Estado de execução ao qual direcionar pedidos de cooperação. Nesse quadro delineado, nasce a ideia, acolhida em uma proposta de regulamentação da União Europeia, de criar um canal de cooperação direta entre as autoridades judiciarias interessadas na colheita da prova e o provider, ao qual caberia verificar se os pedidos instrutórios respeitam a Carta de Nice. No entanto, trata-se de tendência de privatização de uma atividade tradicionalmente reservada aos órgãos públicos: uma preocupante mudança de paradigma capaz de fragilizar os direitos fundamentais.

On cause of environmental pollution is the presence of heavy metals. Heavy metal such as Cd (II), Pb (II) and Cu (II) are the metals commonly found in water pollution. The untapped shell of ketapang fruit can be used as an absorbent because it has an active side that can bind to the metal ion. From the research with batch sistem was found that the absorption efficiency of metal Cd (II), Pb (II) and Cu (II) by shell of ketapang will be optimum if done at pH 6 with contact time 60 minute for ion Cd(II), 45 minute for ion Pb (II) and 75 minute for ion Cu. The optimum stirring speed of each is 100 rpm, 150 rpm and 100 rpm. The optimum absorption efficiency occured at concentration of 10 mg/L on metal Cd (II) and Pb (II) that are 86,38 % and 98,51 % while the Cu (II) metal at 5 mg/L concentration is 94,06 % with mass of ketapang 0.1 g,0.5 g and 0.5 g each metal ion. The metal ion concentration was analyzed by AAS and the dominant functional group binding metal ions was analiyzed by FTIR Salah satu penyebab pencemaran lingkungan adalah terdapatnya logam berat. Logam berat seperti Cd, Pb dan Cu merupakan logam yang sering ditemukan dalam pencemaran air. Cangkang buah ketapang yang tidak termanfaatkan dapat dijadikan sebagai penyerap karena mempunyai sisi aktif yang dapat berikatan dengan ion logam. Dari penelitian dengan sistem batch didapatkan bahwa efisiensi penyerapan ion logam Cd (II), Pb (II) dan Cu II) oleh cangkang buah ketapang akan optimum jika dilakukan pada pH 6 dengan waktu kontak 60 menit untuk ion Cd (II), 45 menit untuk ion Pb (II) dan 75 menit untuk ion Cu (II). Kecepatan pengadukan optimum masing-masingnya adalah 100 rpm, 150 rpm dan 100 rpm. Efisiensi penyerapan optimum terjadi pada konsentrasi 10 mg/L pada logam Cd(II) dan Pb (II) yaitu 86,38 % dan 98, 51 %, sedangkan logam Cu (II) terjadi pada konsentrasi 5 mg/L yaitu 94,06 % dengan massa cangkang buah ketapang 0.1 g, 0.5 dan 0.5 g pada masing-masing ion logam. Konsentrasi ion logam dianalisis dengan Spektrofotometri Serapan Atom dan gugus fungsi dominan yang mengikat ion logam dianalisis dengan FTIR.

Published: October 2019

This research attempts to understand the role of the Community of Latin American and Caribbean States (CELAC) in carrying out the Zero Hunger program in Haiti. Compared to the other countries in Latin America and the Caribbean, Haiti is the country that has the highest poverty and malnutrition rates. This becomes the basis for CELAC to take roles in the problem. By using research methods and international concepts proposed by Clive Archer and Andre Pariera, this study produces two findings about CELAC in overcoming problems related to malnutrition in Haiti. First, CELAC plays a role as an arena an actor through the provision of the High-Level Conference and Ministerial Conference that discusses the problems in Haiti. Second, CELAC has a role as an initiator through the promotion of dialogue between countries to exchange experiences on national social programs.

Post-reform, mass media plays an important role in political life in Indonesia. Media power in presenting or reporting political events in the form of news often has a significant impact on political developments in the country. This study focuses on political news on JPNN.com and TribunJatim.com, regarding the construction of the Governor of Deputy Governor and Deputy Governor of East Java in 2018. The researcher used Robert N Entman's framing analysis of four media analysis strategies; (1) Problem identification (2) diagnose causes (3) make moral judgment (4) treatment recommendations. The news frame carried out by JPNN.com and TribunJatim.com clearly uses the figure of Kiayi as a way to get sympathy from voters, especially those in the horseshoe and Madura region which incidentally is NU's mass base. For the East Java region outside the horseshoe and madura area (arek and matraman), the framing of the news carried out was that the candidate pairs received support from community organizations and emphasized the figure who was able to win over the problems in East Java.

EMPRESAS DE SALVAÇÃO LOCALMENTE GLOBALIZADAS:APROXIMAÇÕES AO ESTUDO DAS MEGA-IGREJAS EVANGÉLICAS
Authors: Joaquin Joaquin Maria
Published: October 2019

Resumo: Os processos globalizadores no plano da cultura podem ser compreendidos inicialmente como um trabalho de rearticulação do global e do local em diferentes domínios da sociedade. Este ponto-chave de análise atinge a forma específica em que as organizações religiosas produzem uma síntese histórica entre ambas as dimensões da vida cultural. Seguindo esta perspectiva, o objetivo do presente artigo consiste em explorar os circuitos internos e externos de circulação de uma “mega-igreja” (Gramby-Sobukwe e Hoiland, 2009) evangélica em Buenos Aires, Argentina. O trabalho encontra-se dividido em três partes. Na primeira, propomo-nos indagar em sua estrutura de organização a partir do sistema de integração em “células”. Na segunda, vamos ver como as redes internas definem três posições móveis de sujeito. Por último, na terceira parte, nosso interesse se focaliza no regime de circulação que a igreja estabiliza para dentro e para fora da instituição.
ESTADO LAICO, DEMOCRACIA E RELIGIÃO – SERÁ MESMO POSSÍVEL?
Authors: Heinen Juliano
Published: October 2019

A temática acerca das liberdades laicas e das inúmeras variantes e ligações que permeiam o tema, possivelmente, seja um estudo ainda tímido no limiar do campo do saber jurídico, por exemplo. Hoje, há uma afeta conjuntura científica que intenta traçar os limites das liberdades laicas e, notadamente, o enfrentamento que se faz com o papel e atuação do Estado. Assim, definir a laicidade é, antes de tudo, pensar uma hermenêutica laica, para somente então passar a se pensar em uma percepção dos direitos ligados à temática (por exemplo, de cunho sexual ou reprodutivo).
