Published: January 2022

Este artigo traça a história dos usos da palavra “gênero”. Isso sugere que, embora o conceito “gênero” tenha sido recuperado e se tornado comum, muitas questões persistem em torno da forma como “mulheres” e “homens”, e as relações de poder entre eles, são definidas e estão evoluindo. Desde que ainda nos permita questionar os significados atribuídos aos sexos, como eles se estabelecem e em que contextos gênero continua a ser uma categoria útil, crítica e analítica. Este texto, aqui traduzido, foi lançado originalmente na revista Diogenes, v. 57, n. 1, p. 7-14, 2010.

Published: January 2022

Coccidiosis remains an obstacle for the poultry sector worldwide, including Algeria. In the field of food biosecurity, symbiotics are used with the aim of improving zootechnical performance of chickens, and combatting the negative effects of this parasitosis. This study compared two broiler farms with 12,000 chickens of the Arbor Acres strain, where chickens on one farm received supplementation with symbiotics. Weight of 144 animals, mortality, food and water consumption were measured, and consumption (CI) and conversion indices were calculated. For parasitology, droppings were collected and the intestinal contents of 10% of animals were collected. Data showed that at 43 days, the supplemented group had a weight of 2750 g as compared to the control that had a weight of 2630 g, with an average consumption of 4834 g vs. 5087g per animal, CI of 1.62–1.35–0.81 vs. 1.65–1.52–0.89, the conversion index of 1.9 vs. 2.07, and mortality rate of 9.29% vs. 10.37%, respectively. Oocyst excretion was zero at the farm receiving supplementation vs. 0, 100, and 550 OPG in the control group on days 15, 21 and 28, respectively, parasite infestation was 41,600 OPG, 32,800 OPG, and 30,500 OPG vs. 800 OPG, 1,100 OPG and 1,200 OPG, respectively. For prevalence, several species of Eimeria were identified in the control. The means found in this study support the use of symbiotics, and efforts to improve the formula of the symbiotics should yield even better results.

Published: January 2022

The domestic donkey (Equus asinus) has a very specific body construction. It is built in such a way that the mutual relationship of individual body regions enables great work endurance. The fact that this breed of domestic animal originates from wild ancestors, originated and developed in Africa, clearly shows that the breed developed in harsh climatic and ecological conditions that conditioned the appropriate biological response. The biostatic model causes the biodynamic effect, i.e., the production of biokinetic energy. Movement forwards occurs as a consequence of the creation of biokinetic energy and its transfer from the back part of the body, where it originates, to the front part of the body. The most efficient transfer of biokinetic energy is enabled by the existence of an appropriate biostatic model, i.e., body structure, and this leads to a biodynamic effect that is defined as a movement. For the process of movement, the muscles must be well developed. Two muscle groups are distinguished; a) pelvic muscles, b) external hip and croup joint muscles. The basic lever for the transfer of biokinetic energy is the femur. The generated energy is transferred from the hip joint to the thigh muscles, which shortening leads to the movement of the hind leg forward, its leaning against the ground and pushing the whole body forward. The generated biokinetic energy cause the bio kinematic effect, which is characterized as a movement.

Authors: Bajaña Salazar Haydee
Published: January 2022

Actualmente los problemas de aprendizaje se han convertido en un punto crítico en la educación primaria básica y de bachillerato, a pesar de que en los países desarrollados este tipo de problemas se investigan desde los años 60 del siglo XX, en Latinoamérica este tema es relativamente reciente. La dislexia es la más conocida, pero también existen trastornos en matemáticas, específicamente la discalculia, la cual no es de conocimiento general, las investigaciones indican que la gran mayoría de personas que la sufren no están diagnosticadas. En el ambiente familiar, muchos padres desconocen que sus hijos sufren de algún tipo de problema de aprendizaje, ya que muchos no presentan signos evidentes, esto dificulta el desarrollo del niño pues una intervención temprana tiene un impacto beneficioso en el desarrollo cognitivo. Este trabajo está orientado a investigar cómo incide el apoyo familiar en la atención a los problemas de aprendizaje en el área de matemáticas en los estudiantes de quinto año de EGB en la Unidad Educativa Bilingüe Tejar; para esto se ejecutaron encuestas orientadas a padres de familia, tutores y docentes, entrevista orientada al personal del DECE de la institución, y guías de observación en estudiantes, se escogió una muestra significativa de los grupos mencionados. El análisis de los resultados indica que no existe un conocimiento en la mayoría de los padres de familia sobre esta problemática, aunque tutores y docentes tienen un conocimiento medio sobre la problemática, y la institución cuenta con herramientas para ayudar a los estudiantes.

Published: January 2022

Es importante disminuir los impactos ambientales ocasionados por la elaboración de concreto. El emplear agregados reciclados para sustituir los agregados naturales, es una alternativa que puede hacer del concreto un material con una reducida presencia contaminante asociada a su producción, así mismo, puede disminuir costos y abaratar la edificación. Sin embargo, la producción de concreto con residuos de demolición y construcción (RCD) se enfrenta a encontrar un diseño óptimo para lograr el mejor desempeño mecánico. Por lo que, este documento tiene como objetivo realizar una selección y un análisis sistemático de artículos científicos con el propósito de evaluar el escenario actual de investigación sobre la influencia de RCD en reemplazo de los agregados para el concreto. Para lo cual se revisaron 55 documentos extraídos de bases de datos como: Scopus, ScienceDirect y Scielo; tomando en cuenta las publicaciones que se encuentran entre los años del 2015 al 2021. En los resultados se ha evidenciado que no es conveniente reemplazar totalmente los agregados naturales por RCD, debido a que, mientras mayor sea la tasa de reemplazo de los agregados, sin ningún compuesto adicional, más afectadas se verán las propiedades mecánicas del concreto final. En conclusión, se puede afirmar que resulta económicamente beneficioso el uso de estos residuos, teniendo en cuenta que se deben emplear en porcentajes de reemplazo no mayores al 50% y de preferencia solo para los agregados finos.

Authors: Tayade Vinod Pralhad , Lahudkar Swapnil Laxman
Published: January 2022

In recent years, demands for high speed and low power circuits have been raised. As conventional metal oxide semiconductor field effect transistors (MOSFETs) are unable to satisfy the demands due to short channel effects, the purpose of the study is to design an alternative of MOSFETs. Graphene FETs are one of the alternatives of MOSFETs due to the excellent properties of graphene material. In this work, a user-defined graphene material is defined, and a graphene channel FET is implemented using the Silvaco technology computer-aided design (TCAD) tool at 100 nm and scaled to 20 nm channel length. A silicon channel MOSFET is also implemented to compare the performance. The results show the improvement in subthreshold slope (SS) = 114 mV/dec, ION/IOFF ratio = 14379, and drain induced barrier lowering (DIBL) = 123 mV/V. It is concluded that graphene FETs are suitable candidates for low power applications.

Authors: Kumar Raj , Kamatham Yedukondalu , Peddakrishna Samineni , Gaddam Ajitha
Published: January 2022

A compact triple T-shaped stub with meander loaded strip antenna for penta band applications is proposed. The rectangular patch antenna with meandered and open-ended slot cuts is utilized to realize four operating bands at 2.45 GHz, 3.1 GHz, 5.3 GHz, and 6.5 GHz with an impedance bandwidth of 400 MHz (2.15-2.550 GHz), 1000 MHz (2.7-3.7 GHz), 200 MHz (5.4-5.6 GHz), and 200 MHz (6.4-6.6 GHz), respectively. For an additional resonance frequency, the length of the central T-shaped stub is slightly modified which causes the variation in the current distribution. As a result, the resonance frequency of 5.5 GHz is divided into two resonance frequency bands which are operating at 5.25 GHz and 5.85 GHz with an impedance bandwidth of 100 MHz (5.25-5.35 GHz) and 200 MHz (5.75-5.95 GHz), respectively. Furthermore, a parametric reflection coefficient and surface current distribution analysis is carried out to understand the strip and slot behavior at resonance frequency bands. Finally, a prototype is fabricated and its reflection coefficient, gain, and radiation pattern are measured. The experimental result shows that the proposed antenna is reliable for penta band applications.
Clustering Analysis with Embedding Vectors: An Application to Real Estate Market Delineation
Authors: Lee Changro
Published: January 2022

Although clustering analysis is a popular tool in unsupervised learning, it is inefficient for the datasets dominated by categorical variables, e.g., real estate datasets. To apply clustering analysis to real estate datasets, this study proposes an entity embedding approach that transforms categorical variables into vector representations. Three variants of a clustering algorithm, i.e., the clustering based on the traditional Euclidean distance, the Gower distance, and the embedding vectors, are applied to the land sales records to delineate the real estate market in Gwacheon-si, Gyeonggi province, South Korea. Then, the relevance of the resultant submarkets is evaluated using the root mean squared errors (RMSE) obtained from a hedonic pricing model. The results show that the RMSE in the embedding vector-based algorithm decreases substantially from 0.076-0.077 to 0.069. This study shows that the clustering algorithm empowered by embedding vectors outperforms the conventional algorithms, thereby enhancing the relevance of the delineated submarkets.
Finite Element Based Comparative Analysis of Positive Streamers in Multi Dispersed Nanoparticle Based Transformer Oil
Authors: Mihir Bhatt  , Bhatt Praghnesh
Published: January 2022

The dispersion of dissimilar nanoparticles (NPs) in transformer oil (TO) has a major impact on fast propagating positive streamers. This work investigates the positive streamer dynamics in TO modified by dispersing both Fe3O4 and Al2O3 NPs at a homogenous concentration. The hydrodynamic drift diffusion model of positive streamer evolution and propagation are solved using the commercial software package COMSOL Multiphysics. The impact of multiple NPs (MNPs) has been analysed for streamer propagation, electric field intensity, electron density, and space charge density of modified TO. MNPs successfully reduce streamer propagation velocity by 50%, 17%, and 37.5% comparing to pure oil, Fe3O4 based nanodielectric fluids (NDFs), and Al2O3 based NDFs, respectively. The spatial distribution of electron density reveals the loss of electrons from the ionization region until the saturation of NPs. A comparative study demonstrates that MNPs significantly alter the streamer dynamics and augment the dielectric strength of TO compared to individual NPs.

Published: January 2022

This study aims to design an electronically tunable voltage-mode (VM) universal filter utilizing commercially available LT1228 integrated circuits (ICs) with three-input and single-output (TISO) configuration. With the procedure based on two integrator loop filtering structures, the proposed filter consists of two LT1228s, four resistors, and two grounded capacitors. It realizes five filter output responses: low-pass, all-pass, band-reject, band-pass, and high-pass functions. By selecting input voltage signals, each output responses can be achieved without changing the circuit architecture. The natural angular frequency can be controlled electronically. The input voltage nodes Vin1 and Vin3 possess high impedance. The output node has low impedance, so it can be cascaded to other circuits. The performance of the proposed filter is corroborated by PSpice simulation and hardware implementation which support the theoretical assumptions. The result shows that the range of total harmonic distortion (THD) is lower than 1%, and that the higher the temperature is, the lower the natural angular frequency is.

Published: January 2022

To obtain the correct analysis of electroencephalogram (EEG) signals, non-physiological and physiological artifacts should be removed from EEG signals. This study aims to give an overview on the existing methodology for removing physiological artifacts, e.g., ocular, cardiac, and muscle artifacts. The datasets, simulation platforms, and performance measures of artifact removal methods in previous related research are summarized. The advantages and disadvantages of each technique are discussed, including regression method, filtering method, blind source separation (BSS), wavelet transform (WT), empirical mode decomposition (EMD), singular spectrum analysis (SSA), and independent vector analysis (IVA). Also, the applications of hybrid approaches are presented, including discrete wavelet transform - adaptive filtering method (DWT-AFM), DWT-BSS, EMD-BSS, singular spectrum analysis - adaptive noise canceler (SSA-ANC), SSA-BSS, and EMD-IVA. Finally, a comparative analysis for these existing methods is provided based on their performance and merits. The result shows that hybrid methods can remove the artifacts more effectively than individual methods.
Closed Loop V/f Speed Control of Multilevel Inverter Fed Induction Motors Using PID and Fuzzy Logic Controllers
Authors: Konathala Aravinda Shilpa , Mary Mamillapalli Rose , Mounica Bade , Meghana Gudla , Devi Jyothula Renuka
Published: January 2022

The Volts per Hertz (V/f) speed control method makes induction motors available to be used in variable speed applications. However, the great harmonic distortion in supply voltage is a major issue of this method. Therefore, this study focuses on decreasing the harmonic distortion in the supply to induction motors. For that, the use of thirty-one-level multilevel inverters (MLIs) is investigated. Another drawback of the V/f speed control method is the use of proportional-integral-derivative (PID) controllers as speed controllers, which are difficult to be tuned precisely. To overcome this, the use of fuzzy logic controllers is investigated. The whole model is developed and simulated in MATLAB/SIMULINK by varying two variables, i.e., reference speed and load torque, one at a time using each controller. The observations for the changes in speed, torque, stator current, and supply voltage to the induction motors are made. The system’s performance using fuzzy logic controllers is found superior.

Polylogical Core of Modern Intercultural Interaction Models
Authors: Nikolaevna Astafyeva Olga , Irina Belyakova
Published: January 2022

The article is devoted to the problems of transformation and phenomenon of complication of intercultural communication models. The significance of the study lies in the fact that intercultural communication through the prism of cultural and civilizational developments reflects the sociocultural changes taking place at all levels of social development. The problem of application of theoretical knowledge about the communicative paradigm of modern culture with its polylogical core for the development of a specific model of intercultural communication and effective cultural policy relates to the difficulties of achieving compliance of the research results with the real state of the sociocultural environment. Basing on the previous and current research approaches and taking into consideration a systemic and synergistic approach as well as a dialogue concept, the authors aim to investigate theoretical modeling of intercultural interaction. As a result of investigation, the authors conclude that the study of models of intercultural interaction cannot be carried out without understanding the principles and factors of the dynamics of cultural changes in the modern world which allows us to consider the transition from a dialogue model to a polylogue model as a natural stage in the dynamics of culture. Also, the methodological set of philosophical and cultural studies of the dynamics of modern culture is proved as constantly expanding due to the new tendencies, like total digitalization. It is stated that overcoming outdated models of intercultural interaction and adopting the new ones is a long process that must be tested by the human society
Stakeholder Relations Perspectives in Managing Nigeria’s Rising Crimes
Authors: Nwanmereni Daniel
Published: January 2022

In today’s Nigerian society, crime represents a critical stakeholder. The unprecedented rise in crimes, such as, armed robbery, cultism, kidnapping, terrorism, banditry and cattle rustling has constrained the Nigerian government to introduce several crime fighting approaches. Despite government efforts, especially through State security forces, crimes have assumed a worsening dimension with increasing cases of attacks and abduction of villagers, worshippers, travellers and other settlers around Nigeria. Schools around the country are not spared, as both students and staff of different levels of educational institutions are kidnapped for ransom and sometimes killed by bandits and terrorists. Many Nigerian farmers have also been forced to abandon their farms due to incessant attacks. Not only are lives and property threatened, the Nigerian economy is also distressed by the impacts of insecurity on agriculture and the attendant hike in the prices of essential food commodities. Following the seeming inability of regular government crime fighting approaches to substantially deal with Nigeria’s rising insecurity, this paper examined the application of stakeholder relations perspectives to approach the country’s worsening insecurity. The qualitative paper combined Stakeholder and Relational Dialectics as theoretical cornerstone. It examined the impacts of some crime-yielding challenges, such as, illiteracy, unemployment, poverty, economic inequality and pseudo-social participation on the meteoric rise in crime in Nigeria. The paper recommended the application of dialogue in managing the rising militia activities and crimes. It was also recommended that beyond equipping State security formations, Nigerian government should direct attention to the conditions that breed crimes in the country.

O QUE O BRASIL APRENDEU COM A PANDEMIA DE 2020?
Authors: Makino Rogério , Makino Hérica
Published: January 2022

Nesse texto, esboça-se uma interpretação sobre como o Brasil lidou com a pandemia de Covid-19 e um cenário hipotético sobre como será o país pós-pandemia. Argumenta-se que eventos traumáticos em grande escala são oportunidades de aprendizagem social, mas que, no caso brasileiro, houve uma conjunção de fatores culturais, políticos e ideológicos que bloqueou essa oportunidade. A reflexividade – conceito tão alardeado sobre a modernidade – não parece ser a protagonista dessa conjuntura. Entre os fatores mencionados, entrelaçam-se e retroalimentam-se o anti-intelectualismo, o relativismo e o negacionismo, consonantes com o discurso oficial governamental, e potencializados por elementos socioculturais brasileiros como um individualismo exacerbado e a pouca responsabilidade para com o coletivo. Ao final, são listadas algumas lições que deveriam, mas provavelmente não serão aprendidas pelo Brasil.

Para o desenvolvimento desse artigo recorremos aos princípios da pesquisa-ação sob viés da metodologia qualitativa a partir do uso de entrevistas, aplicação de formulários online e outras fontes documentais. Adotamos como referencial teórico as concepções dos autores Arroyo (2013), Candau (2011), Vygotsky (1999) Courtney, R. (1980) entre outros. Enquanto resultado podemos sinalizar que há uma aceitação por parte da maioria dos cursistas que de fato o teatro é um recurso metodológico estratégico para o desenvolvimento de práticas de ensino, sobretudo no que se refere ao desenvolvimento das habilidades para o trabalho em equipe e também da comunicação oral e corporal. Há também uma indicação que o teatro deve ser incorporado ao currículo escolar como uma disciplina ou ao menos como sendo conteúdo obrigatório sob a lógica de ser tema transversal ou interdisciplinar.

SER FEMINISTA NÃO É UMA ESCOLHA: A LUTA PELA IGUALDADE DE GÊNERO DEVE SER DE TODAS, TODOS, TOD@S E TODOS OS DIAS.
Authors: ALMEIDA GARCIA GARCIA ELIANE DOLENS
Published: January 2022

Este artigo reflete a discussão sobre o feminismo ao longo tempo. A luta das mulheres por participação, voz, equidade e respeito na sociedade existente há séculos, desde as “bruxas” perseguidas na idade média até as lutas travadas nas ruas para conquistar o direito ao voto. Concordamos com a filósofa francesa existencialista Simone de Beauvoir (1949), “ninguém nasce mulher, torna-se mulher”. Logo, condicionar o ser mulher ao simples fato de ter nascido do gênero feminino resume sua imagem a uma condição de sexo frágil ou segundo sexo, fadada a executar tarefas enfadonhas, reprodutivas e sem remuneração. Para Judith Butler (2010) o ser humano não tem a sua essência ou identidade definida ao nascer, pois primeiro existimos e a partir de nossa orientação sexual é que definimos a nossa essência. Considerando que o homem é um ser social e que se constrói a partir da socialização e das interações, como as mulheres poderiam se constituir como figuras ativas na sociedade, já que o seu papel se limitou por séculos, a ser desempenhado no seio da família e de forma invisível, delineando a falta de equidade e igualdade de participação na sociedade? Já na década de 20, um século atrás, a revolucionária russa Alexandra Kollontai (2011) abordava a importância de alternativas públicas, como restaurantes e lavanderias para que a mulher pudesse se libertar dos trabalhos domésticos, ao mesmo tempo que defendia a importância de se estabelecer uniões entre pessoas livres. Discutir o feminismo igualitário é dialogar com uma realidade insurgente e plural onde grande parte das mulheres encontram-se inseridas e atuando num cenário de desigualdade, violência, fome e desemprego ainda mais agravado pela pandemia ocasionada pelo Novo Corona vírus, que teve início no final de 2019 e ainda assola países no mundo inteiro. Enquanto base da construção teórica, serão tomados como referência ativistas e filósofos como Flora Tristan (1838), Mary Wollstonecraft (1971), Neuma Aguiar (1984), Mikhail M. Bakhtin (2014) Olimpe Gouges (2017), Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie (2017) e Emma Watson (2017), bem como outros que versam sobre este tema e impulsionam um sentimento de sororidade na condução da transformação das estruturas sociais.

A tecnologia e o acesso às informações tiveram um grande avanço nos últimos tempos e com isso em busca de qualidade em produtos e serviços muitas deficiências foram superadas. Esse grande avanço trouxe junto a preocupação com o indivíduo, pois a concorrência e a afluência de atividades diárias ocasionam stress, doenças psicológicas e ocupacionais devido à sobrecarga de atividades e falta de Qualidade de Vida dentro do âmbito de Trabalho. Esse estudo deu-se após uma pesquisa bibliográfica de maneira descritiva de cunho quantitativo e qualitativo, buscando, dessa maneira, identificar e compreender as variáveis que determinam os critérios de Qualidade de Vida no Trabalho (QVT) na percepção dos professores. Na análise dos dados foi possível identificar que é visível que a QVT dos professores é afetada pela desvalorização profissional, extensa jornada de trabalho que interfere no lazer com família e amigos e também no próprio cuidado com a saúde ocasionando motivos para licenças e afastamentos, principalmente por altos níveis de estresse e agravos físicos ou mentais. Desta forma a pesquisa proporcionou maiores esclarecimentos quanto à realidade do trabalho dos professores quanto aos fatores que causam, interferem e colaboram para o QVT na escola em que atuam Escola Estadual Professora Maria Esther Peres do Município de Vila Rica - MT.
TORTO ARADO: A IMPORTÂNCIA DE NARRATIVAS DE MULHERES NEGRAS NA (RE) CONSTIUIÇÃO DE SUAS IDENTIDADES E PROTAGONISMO
Authors: Luz Leonilda , Matos Magalhães Epaminondas de
Published: January 2022

A obra Torto Arado (2019), de Itamar Vieira Junior, traz reflexões acerca de feridas que ainda estão abertas, e ainda causam dores pelas mazelas escravistas e seus reflexos, sejam eles no campo individual, cultural, políticos ou ideológicos. O fato é que as políticas, os programas e todas as medidas contrárias as discriminações enfrentadas pelos os efeitos perversos da colonização continuam presentes na sociedade brasileira. Nessa perspectiva o trabalho em questão visa analisar a relação entre a (des) (re) construção da identidade da mulher negra que reivindica contar a sua própria história, oriunda de outros lugares de enunciação que venha impregnada de uma visão eurocêntrica. Assim, considera-se no romance, primeiramente a relevância da literatura enquanto instrumento de resistência na luta contra as injustiças raciais e as desigualdades de gêneros. Em seguida, pelo viés das narrativas das protagonistas do romance em questão, observa o percurso percorrido pelas personagens femininas na constituição de suas identidades. Por fim, busca o encontro com as vozes da ancestralidade que traz sentido a sua existência e o prazer da (re) descoberta de uma mulher segura de si e mais forte. As perspectivas teóricas que permeiam o estudo são as obras de: Spivak (2010), Stuart (2007), Edward (2001), Duarte (2005), Adichie (2011), entre outros.

soaring. Regulatory authorities are performing their function by giving approvals to hand sanitizers in various countries through
various regulations and marketing authorization procedures. The point of this article is to help in understanding the administrative
prerequisites expected to bring the hand sanitizers or sanitizer items into various business sectors, just as the current administrative exceptions and interval gauges set up to help react to COVID-19.
Effect of Penicillin on Reproductive Function in Female Wistar Rats
Authors: K.O Oyedeji , R.O Momoh , Gbenga Oderinde
Published: January 2022

This study was designed to investigate the effect of penicillin on reproductive function in female Wistar rats. Fifteen female rats (120
– 160 g) were used for the estrous cycle and histopathological studies. Penicillin (17.14 mg/kg) was administered orally on daily basis
for 21 and 50 days respectively for the estrous cycle and histological studies. Estrous cycle was carried out using the technique of
Marcondes et al., histologies of the ovaries and uteri were also carried out. Data were analysed using descriptive statistics and
student’s t-test at p=0.05. Treatment of rats for 21 days with penicillin (17.14 mg/kg) produced significant (p<0.05) increments in the
estrous and metestrous phases as well as a significant (p<0.05) reduction in the proestrous phase of the estrous cycle relative to their
respective controls. The histopathological study presented with a moderate endometrial congestion. It can therefore be concluded
that penicillin probably has a pro-fertility effect with a moderate deleterious effect on the uteri at histological level in female Wistar
rats.
In vivo Evaluation of Theophylline Sustained Release Matrix Tablets Containing Low Viscosity Guar Gum
Authors: Tadikonda Rama Rao , Sreemantula Satyanarayana
Published: January 2022

The present investigation was carried out to evaluate the utility of guar gum as a hydrophilic matrix carrier in the design of oral
controlled drug delivery. Based on the earlier reports, the low viscosity guar gum appears to be superior to medium and high viscosity
grades of guar gum in providing a sustained delivery of theophylline along the GI tract. Conducting in vivo studies on theophylline
matrix tablets containing 10% of low viscosity guar gum as a representative formulation assessed the in vivo performance of the guar
gum matrix tablets. The in vivo studies were carried out in dogs. The effective concentration of theophylline was sustained for a
period of 16 hours. The extended tmax, reduced absorption rate constant, prolonged MRT, unchanged Cmax and unchanged
bioavailability indicate a controlled release of theophylline from the guar gum matrix tablets resulting in a sustained absorption and
prolonged blood levels of theophylline. The theophylline matrix tablets showed blood levels well below 15 ?g/mL indicating freedom
from adverse effects. Based on the studies, guar gum appears to be a potential carrier in the design of oral controlled drug delivery
systems.

Published: January 2022

Introduction: For Functional Endoscopic Sinus Surgery (FESS), the surgeon needs an accurate depiction of the anatomy of paranasal sinuses and their variations. Computed tomography (CT Scan) fulfills this requirement by providing detailed anatomy, the anatomical variants, and the extent of the disease in and around the Para nasal sinuses. The aim of this study is to show the anatomy of the Frontal sinus as delineated by the computed tomography.

Materials and Methods:

STUDY DESIGN: Cross section Descriptive Study. Out of 337 patients above 12 years of age who were referred for computed tomography of paranasal sinuses in the Dept. of Radio- Diagnosis, Govt. Medical College and Hospital from December 2015 till October 2017, 200 adults(males and females) were randomly selected.Of the 200 subjects studied 37(18.5%) subjects had hypoplastic/ non or poorly pneumatised frontal sinuses of which 31 (15.5%) were bilateral and 6 (3%) were unilateral i.e. on right side.

Observations and results:

Intra frontal cell were seen in about 64 (32%) subjects of which 26 (13%) on right side, 24 (12%) were on left side and 14 (7%) were bilateral. Extension of pneumatisation into crista galli was seen in 16 (8%) subjects and into orbital roof was seen in 6 (3%) subjects.

Conclusion:

The findings in this study show that anatomical variations in the Para nasal sinuses and nasal cavity are common. Computed tomography is fundamental radiologic investigation for diagnosis of the Sino nasal lesions or pre and post-surgical assessment.
