Authors: S. Karpe Manisha , P. Deshmukh Saie , Ghadia Aditi
Published: September 2024

Mefenamic acid is a Biopharmaceutical Classification System class II and a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug. It treats mild to severe pain, including headaches, dental pain, osteoarthritis, and rheumatoid arthritis. The aim of the present work was to develop and validate reverse phase high pressure liquid chromatography for the quantitative estimation of mefenamic acid from meftal 250. Mefenamic acid was separated on a BDS Hypersil C18 (4.6mmø×250mm) analytical column using acetonitrile: double distilled water (80:20v/v) as a mobile phase. The software used for the estimation of mefenamic acid is LAB solution software (version 6.72sp1). The retention factor of mefenamic acid was found to be 1.619 min. The linear regression analysis data for the calibration plot of drug scanned at the maximum wavelength 283nm showed a good linear relationship with r 2 = 0.9989, over the concentration range of 8 ppm to 20ppm for mefenamic acid. The validation parameters used for mefenamic acid estimation were specificity, linearity, precision, accuracy, robustness, and sensitivity (limit of detection and limit of quantification). The approach was discovered to be precise, accurate, sensitive, and robust, satisfying all of the requirements specified by the International Council for Harmonisation guideline Q2 (R1). Thus, the developed high pressure liquid chromatography method can conveniently be employed for the detection and quantification of mefenamic acid in commercial formulation.

Published: September 2024

This article focuses on examining and combining published information regarding the latest pleiotropic pharmacological impacts of dexpanthenol.Particular attention in this article is paid to the pharmacological protective effects of dexpanthenol on the kidneys, liver, brain and nerves, gastrointestinal tract, and the cardiovascular and respiratory systems. In general, a substantial amount of experimental and clinical data has been accumulated, which allows us to conclude that further investigation into the pleiotropic effects of dexpanthenol holds promise. A wide range of target organs and tissues, coupled with its low toxicity, make dexpanthenol a promising ingredient for the development of new drugs.The most promising effects for further study are antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, gastroprotective, hepatoprotective, and neuroprotective effects. It is particularly crucial to investigate the efficacy of dexpanthenol through alternative methods of administration, in addition to the established external use and intraperitoneal route of administration used in preclinical studies. For instance, oral administration should be explored, encompassing a broad range of doses, including smaller ones.The development of various local dosage forms, such as gels, wound dressings, ophthalmic films, and others, as well as liquid forms like solutions and syrups, and solid forms like capsules with liquid contents, is significant. These developments have the potential to expand the clinical applications of dexpanthenol in various fields, including dermatology, gastroenterology, neurology, and general internal medicine.

The Diary of Anna Comnena, or The Very Political Adventures of a Transgender Byzantine Princess in African Elevators
Authors: Zamler-Carhart Tis Kaoru
Published: September 2024

In The Diary of Anna Comnena, or The Very Political Adventures of a Transgender Byzantine Princess in African Elevators, Zamler-Carhart impersonates the 12th-century Byzantine princess and historian Anna Comnena as she comes out as trans and tries to write her father’s imperial biography, The Alexiad, while in exile in contemporary West Africa.

Outside the Empire, categories become fluid and elevators stop on strange floors. Prose slips into graphic poetry, medieval Christianity into mystical Sahelian Islam, Byzantine chronicles into erotic gore anime. Anna’s first-person diary careens down a series of sinister African elevators and intersectional magic spaces. She is an outcast of the Empire but also a product of it, exploring the dynamics of contemporary African textile production, vernacular theater, animal husbandry, jihad, urban design, television, and coin metallurgy from the perspective of a 12th-century trans Byzantine engineer.

The Diary of Anna Comnena initially adopts the same Empire-centric perspective as the historical Alexiad, but the dystopian confrontation with African reality forces Anna to reflect on what it means for her to be specifically in Africa, and not just in a generic outside space. Together with the author’s previous work, The Diary of Anna Comnena forms a gelatinous ongoing treatise where seriousness is an emerging property, and the distinction between speculative fiction, design theory, and political philosophy is probably just matter of scale.

Published: September 2024

This study focused on improving the numeracy rate of the various elementary schools in Candelaria East District in the division of Quezon, Philippines through the implementation of Project BIBO (Bridging Imperfections in Basic Operations). Addressing the gap of the learners who are not fully capitalizing on the basic arithmetic and fundamental operations can be done by implementing various numeracy interventions. A descriptive research design was utilized in analyzing the numeracy rates of the participating elementary schools before and after the conduct of Project BIBO. Samples were randomly selected while descriptive statistics and tests of difference were used in analyzing and interpreting the data. After a one-year implementation of the said project, results showed a pre-numeracy rate of 85.54% with a standard deviation of 0.108 and a post-numeracy rate of 94.46 with a standard deviation of 0.032. A t-value of -3.592 and a p-value of 0.003 provided sufficient evidence to conclude at 0.05 level of significance that there is a significant difference between the pre-numeracy and post-numeracy rates. It is therefore reflected from the results that the implementation of Project BIBO has successfully improved the numeracy rating of the various elementary schools in Candelaria East District, and thus, the continuous implementation of the project is hereby recommended as future actions within the wider range of scope in the district level.

Published: September 2024

The purpose of this study was to explore the readiness of the Internal School Quality Assurance Teams (ISQATs) to supervise instruction in Tanzanian public secondary schools. The study employed a qualitative approach, and data were collected through semi-structured interviews and documentary reviews. A purposeful sampling technique was used to select 18 participants from the Kilimanjaro Region of Tanzania. The findings indicate that many Internal School Quality Assurance Officers (ISQAOs) had limited professional profiles despite having adequate teaching qualifications. Their supervisory practices included regular checking of academic records, reminding teachers of their responsibilities, and recommendations on academic matters. It was also found that ISQATs faced challenges such as heavy workloads, poor cooperation from teachers, a lack of supervision guidelines, and different perspectives regarding lesson planning. This study concludes that ISQATs were not fully ready to supervise instructions as professionals, implying that the existing ISQAOs need to receive professional training and that a supervision policy that requires possession of instructional supervision skills as a pre-requisite for teachers’ promotion to an instructional supervision role be implemented.
Muroid rodent communities in areas with varying degrees of fire damage: the Chernobyl polygons
Authors:   Chernobyl Radiation and Ecological Biosphere Reserve (Ivankiv, Ukraine), Vyshnevskyi Denys
Published: September 2024

As a result of climate change, forest fires are becoming a common factor in the dynamics of ecosystems in the forest zone of Ukraine, but the assessment of the consequences of this shift in the ecological situation is in the process of pilot studies. In the spring of 2020, a number of large ecosystem fires occurred in the Central Polissia region, which affected forests the most. Among other things, a large fire occurred in ecosystems located in the Exclusion Zone and the Zone of Unconditional (Mandatory) Resettlement, which was formed as a result of the Chornobyl accident. The ecosystems of the Chornobyl Radiological and Ecological Biosphere Reserve located within its boundaries were also affected by the fire. The consequences of this fire were assessed a year later, using mouse-like rodents as a model group. The purpose of the study was to assess and compare the communities of mouse-like rodents in areas that were affected by two degrees of fire damage—where there was a surface fire and those that were most affected (highland fire). Four polygons were created in the control-impact scheme. Each of the pairs of plots was identical in terms of typical forest vegetation conditions. Sherman traps were used for trapping. A total of 560 trap-days were processed, and 101 animals were captured. The presence of four species of rodents from the genera Apodemus, Sylvaemus, and Myodes was recorded, namely the striped field mouse, the yellow-necked wood mouse, the European wood mouse, and the bank vole. The main indicators of species diversity were calculated using information indices—species richness, evenness, and similarity. The surveys revealed both negative and positive changes in areas affected by fires. Areas characterised by relatively higher values of species diversity indices compared to the control had a high intensity of vegetation recovery. They belonged to areas with wet, relatively fertile (sugrud) and infertile (subor) forest types. The plots with low intensity of vegetation recovery had a depleted community structure and belonged to fresh and dry boreal forest. Based on this, it is possible to create a forecast of ecosystem restoration by assessing the type of forest vegetation conditions.
Catamenial pneumothorax and endometriosis: Report of a rare case
Authors: Adelekan Oluwaseun , Vasudev Pooja , Alowami Moaz
Published: September 2024

Introduction: Catamenial pneumothorax is a rare condition which is characterized by the recurrent accumulation of air within the pleural cavity without related respiratory diseases. It happens in women of reproductive age, usually within 72 hours before or after onset of menstruation. It occurs in association with characteristic pleural lesions, right-sided location of the pneumothorax, and concomitant thoracic endometriosis. The objective is to report a rare case of thoracic endometriosis in a 35-year-old woman with recurrent catamenial pneumothorax.

Case Report: A 35-year-old female presented with persistent and recurrent right pneumothorax usually occurring immediately after her menstruation. She had no personal history of lung problems, asthma, bronchitis, or any family history of any chronic lung disease. Computed tomography (CT) of the chest showed a large hydropneumothorax on the right side resulting in near-complete collapse of the right lung and mediastinal shift from right to left. The gross specimen comprised the right upper lobe resection of the lung, which weighed 4.9 grams and measured 7.7 cm × 1.5 cm × 1.2 cm. The pleura was mottled brown-gray with adhesions. Histopathologic findings showed pleural endometriosis (pleural endometrial glands and stroma present), consistent with catamenial pneumothorax. Associated pleural adhesions with acute and chronic inflammation and mild emphysematous changes in the lung parenchyma were also noted. Immunohistochemistry with immunostains estrogen receptor (ER) and CD10 highlighted the endometrial glands and stroma which confirmed the diagnosis.

Conclusion: There should be a high index of suspicion of catamenial pneumothorax in women of reproductive age who present with pneumothorax during the perimenstrual period. Adequate sampling of lung wedge resections and careful microscopic examination, followed by confirmation with immunohistochemistry, play important roles in the diagnosis of this rare condition.

Authors: Zavalaga Fabiola , Santamaría José , Siccha-Ramirez Raquel
Published: September 2024

Se realizaron análisis morfológicos y genéticos para determinar la identidad taxonómica de 42 ejemplares de invertebrados, capturados durante el Crucero de evaluación poblacional de merluza y otros demersales (Cr. 1905-06) efectuado en otoño 2019. Se revisaron las características diagnósticas para la identificación taxonómica tradicional de las especies; mientras que, para el análisis genético, se obtuvieron secuencias de aproximadamente 648 pares de bases de longitud del gen mitocondrial COI, las que fueron registradas en la plataforma BOLD (Sistema de Datos del Código de Barras de la Vida), generando sus códigos de barras de ADN. Con base en la morfología, se determinaron 16 especies (9 crustáceos, 6 moluscos y 1 equinodermo). Los ejemplares identificados morfológicamente como Moreiradromia sarraburei, Stenorhynchus debilis, Leiolambrus punctatissimus, Spinolambrus exilipemos, Achelous iridescens, Heterocarpus vicarius, Squilla panamensis, Distorsio decussata, Solenosteira gatesi y Hexaplex brassica no pudieron ser corroborados genéticamente debido a la falta de registros en las bases de datos genéticas; estas diez secuencias de ADN obtenidas, constituyeron los primeros registros para las mencionadas especies en la plataforma BOLD. Solo seis especies (Collodes tenuirostris, Stenocionops ovatus, Sinum cymba, Crossata ventricosa, Goniofusus spectrum y Arbacia spatuligera) pudieron ser identificadas integralmente, siendo nuevos registros de secuencias genéticas para Perú. Se demuestra que los análisis genéticos son una importante herramienta que complementan a los análisis morfológicos tradicionales, contribuyendo con las investigaciones en biodiversidad, incrementando el conocimiento y validación de la identidad taxonómica y distribución de las especies.

Published: September 2024

The high life expectancy rates among older adults, which lead to an increase in the prevalence of chronic degenerative diseases, such as dementia, impose a burden on their caregivers. In this context, we analyzed the burden on caregivers of older individuals with Alzheimer’s disease who exhibit neuropsychiatric symptoms, considering socioeconomic and clinical factors. The study was conducted within the health care network for older adults in the Federal District and included 962 participants, both caregivers and older individuals with dementia receiving specialized care. The results indicate that the presence of neuropsychiatric symptoms in older men, under 90 years of age, with more than four years of education, functional and financial dependence, and multimorbidity, and in moderate stages of Alzheimer’s disease is more likely to cause caregiver burden. The study highlights the importance of public policies, emotional support, and training for these caregivers.

The aim of this study was to examine the losses experienced by families during the COVID-19 pandemic and the resources used to cope with them. This qualitative study interviewed 36 families and analyzed the data using the content analysis technique, supported by the Iramuteq software, based on the concept of Family Resilience. During the pandemic, families suffered job losses, financial losses, health-related losses, and losses due to death. To cope with these losses, they found support in intra-family resources, identified by the intensification of relationships with the nuclear family. Specifically, when the family experienced death, they became stronger with more conviction in their belief system and in extra-family resources, such as psychological therapy and the church. Professionals should be aware of these support resources and help families use them in different adverse situations that may occur, as they are identified as strengths for family life.

A adoção do modelo internacional do Relatório Integrado (RI) representou uma inovação para a transparência pública. O objetivo do estudo consiste em identificar a perspectiva dos contadores sobre a efetividade da adoção do RI à luz da Teoria Institucional (TI) e da Inovação Aberta (IA) em uma universidade federal brasileira. Pesquisa qualitativa, utilizou-se como técnicas de pesquisas a entrevista e a análise interpretativa dos conteúdos a partir da transcrição das falas de cinco contadores dos seis que já contribuíram ou contribuem com o Relatório na instituição. Nos resultados, os contadores apontam que a adoção do Relatório Integrado para as Unidades Prestadoras de Contas no Brasil apresentou melhorias na qualidade das informações contábeis e financeiras. Contudo, o contador envolvido diretamente com a elaboração do relatório percebe que este apenas atende exigências do órgão normatizador e mais que apresentar informação, há a necessidade de socializar e melhor comunicar para que ocorra compreensão e controle efetivamente. Conclui-se que há uma aparente divergência de perspectiva sobre a efetividade do RI entre o profissional que elabora e os que contribuem com informações acessórias. Sendo assim, sugere-se para estudos futuros a investigação de como os contadores podem contribuir para a efetividade do RI nos órgãos em que atuam a partir da abordagem prática e comunicativa.

Giving rashwah has been agreed upon that it is forbidden by Muslim scholars based on the hadith of the Prophet. However, in certain cases related to defending rights, there is a dilemma between giving rashwah and not giving. When using rashwah, there are hadiths that prohibit it, but when rashwah is not given, rights that should belong to someone will be lost. This study aims to examine the views of Islamic legal philosophy towards giving rashwah to defend one's rights. This study used the library research method with a qualitative approach. Data was collected by reading various related references and then making comparisons. Data analysis was carried out using comparative and descriptive methods. The results of the study show that a person must defend his right to guarantee the maintenance of one of al-dharuriyah al-khams, such as property, as an objective of Islamic law even though in general it is contrary to standard legal principles to realize the achievement of maqāsid syar'iyyah namely the realization of maṣlahah in the form of hifzhul mal (protection of assets) so that the implication is that rights which are part of assets can be maintained and sustained.

Studi Komparasi Konsep Pendidikan Akhlak Ibnu Miskawaih dalam Kitab Tahdzib Al-Akhlak dan Filsafat Etika Thomas Aquinas
Authors: Novanto Muhammad Dwi
Published: September 2024

Moral education is an important concept that has been studied by many famous figures, but today it is often only a theme of study without deep character cultivation. This study aims to analyse the comparison of the ethical philosophy of Thomas Aquinas and Ibn Miskawaih regarding moral education, especially in the book Tahdzib Al-Akhlak. Ibn Miskawaih is a Muslim philosopher who explores morals rationally and is known as the father of moral philosophy, while Thomas Aquinas is a Christian theologian philosopher who also discusses ethics a lot. Ethics and morals discuss good and bad human behaviour. This research is library research with qualitative methods using journals, books, and previous research. The findings show that moral education should refer to the thoughts of Ibn Miskawaih and Thomas Aquinas, although there are similarities and differences in their concepts, such as views on the human soul, ethical actions, happiness, friendship, and love. This research emphasises the importance of reviewing the concept of moral education rationally to form good character. This research has implications for the application in character building programmes, both in the context of formal and non-formal education, by taking the best aspects of the two philosophers to form individuals with noble character.

Amaç: D vitamini testleri tıbbi uygulamada tüm dünyada yaygın olarak talep edilmektedir. Birçok laboratuvar, sistem üzerindeki gereksiz talep yükünü
ve dolayısıyla maliyet yükünü azaltmak için klinik karar destek sistemlerinin kullanımına yönelmektedir. Bu çalışmada D vitamini test isteği öncesi ve
sonrasında uygulanan klinik karar destek sistemlerinin maliyete ve test isteğindeki değişime etkisi incelenmiştir.
Gereç ve Yöntem: Klinik karar destek sistemlerinin hastane yazılım sistemine girmesinden önceki (8/12/2018-8/03/2019) ve sonrası (9/03/2019-9/06/2019)
90 gün boyunca test isteklerini analiz ettik. Bu sistem, hastanın son 90 gün içinde D vitamini testi yaptırıp yaptırmadığını belirten bir ekran uyarısı oluşturur.
Yoğun bakım ve yatan hastalar hariç bazı kliniklerden gelen test isteklerini tamamen engellerken, diğerlerinde tanıya bağlı test istemine izin vermektedir.
Test istemlerini analiz etmek için Microsoft Excel’in Pivot Tablo aracı kullanıldı. Klinik karar destek sistemlerinin tanıtılmasından önceki ve sonraki test
maliyetleri karşılaştırıldı.
Bulgular: İlk dönemde 31,066 25(OH) D vitamini talebi oldu. İkinci dönemde aynı analit için 18,830 talep geldi. Dolayısıyla test isteminde yaklaşık %39’luk
(12,236 test) bir azalma gerçekleşti (p<0.0001). Bu da, üç ayda 37.350 ABD Doları veya tahmini yıllık yaklaşık 150,000 ABD Doları tasarruf olarak hesaplanmıştır.
Sonuç: Hastanenin yazılım sistemine klinik karar destek sistemlerinin eklenmesi, 25(OH) D vitamini testi talebinde ve maliyette önemli bir azalma ile
sonuçlanmıştır. Laboratuvarlarda yeni klinik yazılım sistemlerinin geliştirilmesi ve kullanılması hem kaynak hem de insan işgücü verimliliği açısından
önemlidir.
