External funding and emergent technology inputs
Authors: Levitas Edward , McFadyen M. Ann 
Published: September 2020

The research and development (R&D) process is critical to a firm’s competitive advantage and often requires external funding. Yet, we know little about how different types of investors respond to the cash needs of established R&D intensive firms nor about how external financial analysts influence those decisions. We address these gaps by examining how a firm’s patenting activity affects its ability to raise cash. We distinguish the motivations of two investor groups: open-market and alliance partners. We focus on how patents based on emergent technologies impact two types of investors and their willingness to fund the R&D process. We develop theory and test our hypotheses using data from publicly traded biopharmaceutical firms by drawing upon knowledge-based view, alliance, and investment theories. We find evidence that patents built upon emergent technologies are viewed differently by the two types of investors. We find open market investors were less likely to invest in emergent technologies and invested less when they did. Conversely, alliance partner investors would be more appreciative of the opportunities new technology inputs present, thus, more likely to invest in firms using emergent technologies and invest more.
Study of the physico-chemical quality of Curcuma longa (powder and rhizome) marketed in the town of Sétif
Authors: Tedjari N , Douadi N 
Published: September 2020

Over the past two to three decades, renewed interest has been shown in the Curcuma longa plant because of the multiple properties attributed to its spice, properties that are traditionally recognized or empirically observed over hundreds of years of use. Curcuma longa is a herbaceous plant belonging to the Zingiberaceae family, cultivated in India and Southeast Asia and considered a coloring spice. Turmeric, especially its rhizome (the underground part), has been used not only as a food spice, but also as a medicinal plant since time immemorial in China and India. The recognition of its medicinal properties is therefore recent in the West. The history of Curcuma is also being written in the future, as much scientific research is being carried out, particularly on the effects of one of its main components, curcuma, in the prevention and treatment of certain cancers. It is in this context that the aim of this work is to evaluate certain parameters of the physicochemical quality of this plant, such as the level of impurity, ash content, moisture content, soluble and insoluble ashes in water, coloring power and chromatography on thin layers on the basis of the standards dictated by the French official journal (JORF).This study was carried out on the two rhizome and powder forms of Curcuma longa marketed. For this, five spice shops (2 samples / shop) were selected at random in the town of Sétif. Analyses of the samples taken were carried out with the collaboration of two laboratories: one INSFP (National Institute for Specialized Professional Training Hadadi Cherif el Hidhab Setif) and the other ERIAD (Riad Setif). The results obtained vary from one type to another and from one store to another. The analysis of the variance of impurity levels, moisture content, acid insoluble ash and TLC is significant whereas it is not for other parameters such as: total ash, water insoluble ash and colouring power.

Authors: Nwachukwu Nkemakolam , Ubieko Edwin  Aboje 
Published: September 2020

This study is aimed at evaluating the disintegrant properties of starches obtained from cassava (Manihot esculenta), sweet potato (Ipomoea batatas) and yellow corn (Zea mays). Matured tubers of cassava and potato were peeled, cut into smaller pieces, wet milled and their slurries washed severally with distilled water to obtain cassava and potato starches respectively. Matured seeds of yellow corn were steeped in distilled water for 24 h, wet milled and washed to separate the starch from the cellulose. The starches were dried at 50 ˚C after which they were characterized using standard methods. The starches at 10 % w/w were applied as disintegrants in the formulation of metronidazole tablets using wet granulation technology. Corn starch (British Pharmacopoeia) at 10 % w/w was used as comparing standard. The ibuprofen granules were evaluated for their micromeritic properties and thereafter compressed into ibuprofen tablets. Evaluation of the ibuprofen tablets for their physical properties, assay and dissolution studies were done using British Pharmacopoeia methods. Results showed that the materials extracted were starches, and they had a poor flow. The ibuprofen granules were flowable and compressible. Ibuprofen tablets compressed from these granules had good physical properties: minimal weight variation (604.00 ± 0.04 – 606.00 mg ± 0.03%), hardness (5.32 ± 0.41 – 6.33 ± 0.64 kgF), disintegration time < 15.00 min and friability < 1.00%. Assay and dissolution of metronidazole from the tablets complied with British Pharmacopoeia criteria. Cassava, potato, and yellow corn starches served as good disintegrants in ibuprofen tablet formulations.

Authors: Zahzeh Meriem Rabia , Aribi Mourad , Zahzeh Touria 
Published: September 2020

Introduction: Non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) is part of the lympho-proliferative syndromes, it is a heterogeneous group of tumors whose incidence has been increasing in recent years. A disruption of protein and lipid profiles is verified during this pathology as well as an increase in the levels of specific markers of inflammation.
Objective: Our study aims to explore protein and lipid profiles and highlight an inflammatory syndrome via the assay of parameters of acute inflammation in patients with NHL and healthy subjects in western Algeria.
Methods: A case-control study comprising 100 patients with NHL and 40 healthy subjects was carried out. Protein and lipid profiles were respectively studied by assays for total protein and globulins and analysis of cholesterol and triglyceride levels. The inflammatory status was demonstrated by studying two parameters: C reactive protein (CRP) and sedimentation rate (VS).
Results: Our results demonstrated an increase in alpha1-globulin and a decrease in gamma-globulin in patients compared to controls (p <0.05). The lipid profile study showed no significant difference for cholesterol but a significant increase in triglycerides in patients with NHL (p <0.05). A highly significant difference in CRP and VS levels between our two groups (p <0.01) with a marked increase in patients demonstrated the presence of acute inflammatory syndrome.
Conclusion: This study allowed us to highlight the alterations in protein and lipid profiles found in NHL and the presence of an inflammatory state, involved in the pathophysiology of non-Hodgkin lymphoma in particular.
Keywords: non-Hodgkin lymphoma, protein profile, lipid profile, CRP, VS.

Published: September 2020

The plants of the genus Phlomis are native to Turkey, North Africa, Europe and Asia. Phlomis bovei De Noé (Lamiaceae) is a rare Algerian endemic plant, commonly known as Kayat El Adjarah. The objective of this study is to quantify the polyphenol content and to evaluate the antioxidant activities of the ethanolic extract (EthE) of Phlomis bovei De Noé. The plant extract was prepared by macerating 100 g of ground material in 1000 ml of 85 % ethanol for 72 h, then the filtrate was evaporated using a rotary evaporator at a temperature of 45C and the filtrate was dried. The total content in polyphenols was determined using Folin Ciocalteu method. Flavonoid content in extracts was determined using Aluminum trichloride assay and the total content of tannins was determined according to Bate Smith method. The antioxidant activity was investigated in vitro by the DPPH (2, 2-diphenyl-1-picryl-hydrazyl), ABTS and iron chelating assays. The results indicate that the ethanol extract was rich in polyphenols and has an important capacity of scavenging the DPPH and ABTS free radical with an IC50 of 0.05 and 0.018 mg/ml, respectively. However, in the ferrous ions chelating ability test, PBEE extract showed moderate chelating activity (IC50 = 1.59 ± 0.05 mg/ml). To conclude, the obtained results may contribute to add possible scientific data to use Phlomis bovei industrially as herbal medicine and as supplementary sources for natural antioxidant drugs in food.
Keywords: antioxidant activity, ethanol extract, Phlomis bovei De Noé, polyphenol content.

Authors: Mashru Rajashree , Trivedi Manthan 
Published: September 2020

The presented research work aims to develop and validate UV-Spectrophotometric as well as RP-HPLC methods for the simultaneous estimation of Beclomethasone Dipropionate (BDP) and Formoterol Fumarate Dihydrate (FFD). These methods offer a higher degree of sensitivity than the already present methods of analysis. By implementing advanced spectroscopic techniques such as Dual Wavelength Method and First Derivative Spectroscopy it is found that the sensitivity of the methods is increased. The linearity of both the methods was in the range of 10µg/ml to 50µg/ml for BDP and 1µg/ml to 5µg/ml for FFD, with an r2 value of 0.999 and 0.9988 respectively for Dual Wavelength Method and First Derivative Method. The LOD values of Dual Wavelength Method and First Derivative Method were found to be 0.127µg/ml and 0.016µg/ml respectively. A RP-HPLC Method has also been developed and validated for this combination having a linearity in range of 50µg/ml to 250µg/ml for BDP and 1.5µg/ml to 7.5µg/ml for FFD. The r2 value of BDP and FFD was found to be 0.9995 and 0.994. The application of this RP-HPLC Method may also be extended for the simultaneous estimation of a triple combination of Beclomethasone Dipropionate, Formoterol Fumarate and Glycopyrronium Bromide (GPB).

Several studies show the increase of radical attitudes among high school students in several regions in Indonesia. Developing a reliable instrument to measure religious moderation attitude is needed as a preventive effort to tackle this trend. However, a standard scale to measure the attitude in the context of Indonesia is extremely rare. This study aims to develop a Thusrtone scale of religious moderation attitude with the Equal Appearing Interval (EAI) method. There were 77 initial items constructed. Forty-two panelists from various relevant backgrounds were involved to assess the initial items. A number of 43 items was selected using the values of median (>6) and interquartile (≤4). The validity of the scale was tested using biserial correlation resulting 42 valid items and 1 invalid item. The result of reliability test using KR 20 technique showed that the scale is strongly reliable with a coefficient value of 0.98. The distribution of scale values on the 42 items of the selected statement lies on a scale value ranging from 1-11. Thus, the scale of religious moderation attitude has fulfilled the psychometric criteria as a measurement scale and can be used to measure students' religious moderation attitudes.Keywords: Thurstone scale, equal-appearing interval method, religious moderation.
