A Fluorescence Study on Surface Properties of Cationic Gemini Surfactant with Some Special Alcohols
Authors: Riyaj Mohammad  
Published: December 2020

Alcohols are very important additives and played a measure role as co-surfactants in various industrial and research applications. While, Gemini surfactants are mainly used as effective emulsifiers, antifoaming agents, bactericidal agents, coating agents and corrosion inhibitors etc. Therefore, it is important to study about the variations in alkanol concentrations which affects the aggregation number and other related parameters. Surface properties of gemini surfactant butanediyl-1,4-bis(dimethyldodecylammonium bromide) (12-4-12) has been studied by using fluorescence method. This method has been used to calculate the aggregation number (Nagg) and the other related parameters like dielectric constant (D), Stern Volmer binding constant (KSV) of mixed system. This method is also very important for the calculation of the micropolarity of the mixed system (gemini/alcohol). The micropolarity has been obtained with the help of the ratio of intensity of peaks (I1/I3) of the pyrene fluorescence emission spectrum. Cetylpridinium chloride and pyrene were used as quencher and probe, respectively.

Zumbis nunca morrem: entrevista com Mark Deuze
Authors: Ribeiro Alexsandro Teixeira , Ferro Jeferson 
Published: December 2020

No contexto da pandemia de coronavírus, o lar se tornou o "supra-local" de nossa existência, o lugar para onde convergem os diferentes tipos de interação que governam nossas vidas, antes fisicamente separadas (FUCHS, 2020). Deuze (2020) acrescenta outra convergência a esse cenário, a de dois sistemas de mídia, o tradicional (jornalismo mainstream) e o novo (mídias sociais). Em sua recém-publicada revisão das teorias fundamentais da comunicação e de sua importância para a compreensão do momento em que vivemos, ele destaca que o poder da desinformação é superestimado por instituições como a ONU, uma atitude que “... corresponde a uma visão inspirada no conceito de sociedade de massa que vê o público como uma massa de pessoas atomizadas, incapazes de dar sentido à realidade fora das mensagens a que são expostas na mídia” (2020, p. 9).
A abordagem pode parecer estranha, sobretudo para quem rememora o afamado conceito de zumbi midiático de Deuze (2013), que designa indivíduos que vivem não com a mídia, mas na mídia (2012), em um ambiente em que se apagaram as linhas de fronteira entre o off e o on line. Adaptados às demandas pela sobrevivência do século XXI, os zumbis perdem-se na coletividade. “Nós somos zumbis no sentido em que sucumbimos acéfalos ao chamado de nossos aparelhos; somos zumbis porque usamos as mídias de modos que apagam nossas distinções como indivíduos” (DEUZE, 2013, p.114).
Professor da Universidade de Amsterdã, Mark Deuze, autor de “Media Life” (2012) e “Beyond Journalism” (2020) acredita que atualmente o estudo da mídia e das práticas de comunicação é fundamental para a compreensão de nossos papéis no mundo. Nesta entrevista, que nos concedeu por e-mail entre julho e agosto de 2020, o questionamos sobre alguns dos principais temas que têm estado sob a sua investigação nas últimas duas décadas, em especial a reinvenção do jornalismo e a mudança do papel da mídia em nossas vidas.

Published: December 2020

Introduction
Chemotherapy induced nausea and vomiting (CIN) one of the troublesome adverse event following chemotherapy especially in cisplatin based. CIN usually managed with ondansetron and corticosteroids which are effective in controlling acute phase but ineffective in delayed vomiting associated with cisplatin. Aprepitant, a drug that antagonizes the effect of substance P on neurokinin type 1 receptor showed promising results in controlling both phases of CINV.
Aim of the study
1.	To compare aprepitant with conventional anti emetics which effectively reducing cisplatin based chemotherapy induced vomiting especially delayed phase of vomiting.
Materials and methods
All patients treated with cisplatin in cancer institute, Adyar, chennai from 2013 january to june included in this study. Aprepitant in one arm and using conventional antiemetics in another arm were taken into this study. Those who defaulted are excluded from the study. Another arm ondansetron and corticosteroids were given without aprepitant. All patients weight, electrolytes and cumulative dose were recorded and analysed using standard statistical methods.
Results
Total no of patients included in this study were 190. Among 190 Carcinoma cervix patients were 92 and 98 patients were oral cavity cancers. In this 76 patients were given aprepitant and 114 patients without aprepitant. Nausea experienced by the patients were similar between 2 arms and insignificant (18.4% vs 21.9 %- with and without aprepitant respectively). But significant reduction in CIN grade II & III were noted in aprepitant arm. In the study we recorded that aprepitant effective in preventing severe and delayed CIN than early and acute phase of CIN
The loss of weight more than 2 kgs were recorded and found that 18.4 (n=14)% & 64.9 (n=74) respectively in aprepitant and conventional arm(p=0.0001).
All patients were monitored for electrolyte imbalance and records showed that significant difference noted between groups( 0% Vs 7.8% in aprepitant and conventional arm respectively , p=0.012).
Conclusion
Aprepitant is one of the potent drug reducing CIN and vomiting related complications such as electrolyte imbalance and weight loss. In our study we proved that aprepitant extremely significant in reducing cisplatin based chemotherapy induced vomiting.

Published: December 2020

The usage of UAV as a pesticide application technology is becoming a common practice in South East Asia with a very significant proportion of agricultural areas have now being treated using such method. Up to date, about more than 169 of various designs and configurations of UAV have been produced to cater the demand, however it is in doubt whether all these available models were optimally integrated with the spray systems to give the required spraying qualities. Despite of each UAV configuration has their own unique aerodynamic effects, it is crucial to determine their downwash airflow patterns, the spray distributions and the effective application parameters that could give high spraying quality. This research outlines the development of an indoor testing facility and its standardised testing procedure for evaluating the spraying performances of any model UAVs that are used in agricultural applications. The testing facility was developed to imitate the UAV in the actual field spraying operation. With 23 m travel length, the developed testing facility was designed to carry the test UAV up to 100 kg, adjust the test UAV at three levels of spraying heights (1.5, 2.5, and 3.5 m), and moves the test UAV up to a maximum travelling speed of 10 m/s. The 6x6 m sampling platform structure for the pressure sensors and water sensitive papers was built underneath the rail support structure to measure and collect data for spraying distributions and downwash 3D profile spectrum. With the availability of this indoor UAV Testing Facility, it is expected that any efforts to increase the spraying efficiency using UAV could be tested repeatedly with same standard protocols, so that proper recommendations could be made on the flying requirements of the UAV in order to achieve an efficient agricultural chemical spraying operation.
From Epistemological Pedagogical Access to Student Success: New Framework for Studying Access to Higher Education
Authors: Ms. Irfana Omar  , Dr. Seema Arif  
Published: December 2020

Research related to access to higher education is often criticized for lacking a strong theoretical ground, arguing it is limited to seek information regarding the quality of infrastructure or teaching and learning. This study, however, seeks to draw a model for meaningful access to higher education regarding epistemic quality. For this purpose, the relationship between factors influencing pedagogical access (Teacher Pedagogic Quality, Teaching Learning Environment, and Teacher-student Relationship) and factors leading to student success (student satisfaction and student engagement) is assessed. The researchers assume that meaningful and purposeful access is created for a diverse population entering higher education only by providing 'epistemological-pedagogical access,' ensuring student success. The study was quantitative, and correlational research design was used following the positivist paradigm. The researcher used a multi-stage sampling technique, to approach the target sample of 400 students studying in universities of Lahore (one public and one private). a close-ended questionnaire was self-constructed for the data collection, and advanced statistical techniques Pearson Correlations, and multiple regressions were applied using SPSS. The study concludes a model of epistemological-pedagogical access leading to success for the university students of Pakistan. Furthermore, this pilot study results also share the predictive value of pedagogical access to ensure student success.

Most of the patients were observed to be with m-MRC grade-3 (42.7%) followed by m-MRC garde-2 (39.1%). The SGRQ score was observed to be increased with increase in the frequency of exacerbations.
Conclusion: Clinical Pharmacist should take the responsibility in providing effective evidence based therapeutic recommendations for the better management and well being of the COPD patients.
Poshumanisme dalam Alkitab: Sebuah Renungan Biblis di Masa Covid-19
Authors: Setio Robert 
Published: December 2020

Anthropocentrism has received many challenges since the publication of the famous article by Lynn White, Jr. in 1967. Yet, since then there has been no significant changes with regard to human attitude towards nature. Human beings still perceive nature as their tool whose existence is to serve their own interests. When the COVID-19 pandemic hits the world, the anthropocentrism is once again challenged. It should be a good opportunity to change the anthropocentrism. The novel corona virus has made people look powerless. It is just a tiny thing, but it has caused a great impact on human life. Despite the fact that the virus often outsmarts human beings, there is no sign that human beings want to admit their weakness. Through reading some biblical stories: the creation of human beings, the naming of animals, Job and the lamb in the Book of Revelation this article wants to deconstruct the view that sees human beings as superior to others in nature. This reading will use posthumanism as theory. It will allow us to see in the stories that human can be subjugated to animals. AbstrakPandangan antroposentrisme telah digugat sejak kemunculan artikel Lynn White, Jr. di tahun 1967. Tetapi sejak itu belum ada perubahan yang signifikan. Manusia masih menempatkan alam sebagai sarana untuk meraih kepentingan dirinya. Ketika pandemi COVID-19 melanda dunia, pandangan antroposentrisme kembali ditantang. Seharusnya ini menjadi kesempatan yang baik bagi manusia untuk mengubah pandangannya itu. Virus corona baru telah membuat manusia kalang kabut. Kehebatan manusia menjadi tidak berarti ketika menghadapi virus yang kecil dan tidak kelihatan itu. Tetapi bukannya menyadari akan kelemahan dirinya dan bersedia membuka diri terhadap kekuatan alam, manusia malah berupaya sedemikian rupa untuk meng-atas-i virus itu. Melalui pembacaan terhadap kisah-kisah Alkitab: penciptaan manusia, Ayub dan Wahyu, tulisan ini akan mendekonstruksi pola pikir yang mengistimewakan manusia di hadapan makhluk lainnya. Teori yang digunakan untuk menafsirkan Alkitab itu adalah poshumanisme. Poshumanisme melihat kedudukan manusia tidak lebih besar daripada makhluk-makhluk lainnya. Kebesaran binatang di hadapan manusia akan terlihat ketika kisah-kisah Alkitab itu dibaca dengan memakai teori poshumanisme.
