Authors: Moiseev Viktor , Manoilo Eugenia , Khukhryanskiy Oleg , Repko Kalif 
Published: November 2021

The object of research: mass transfer processes on a combined contact element in a column apparatus.
Investigated problem: determination of the regularities of process parameters in the processing of gas-liquid systems in a foam layer, as well as to interpret the obtained experimental data. The problem of processing industrial gas flows is solved by conducting the process in an intensive mode.
The main scientific results: as a result of the study, the regularities of ammonia absorption were revealed depending on the main parameters of the experiment: gas velocity in the column cross-section, ammonia concentration, free cross-section of the combined contact element, and liquid loads. The process of mass transfer in the gas phase is significantly influenced by hydrodynamic parameters – the gas velocity in the apparatus and the specific load on the liquid, which indirectly affect the height of the liquid layer on the plate and the gas content of the layer.
The area of practical use of the research results: sorption processes for processing gases and liquids in technological processes, absorption of harmful substances in the treatment of gas emissions.
Innovative technological product: new block poppet-nozzle contact device that operates in a stabilized hydrodynamic mode; new ball-shaped weighted nozzle for three-phase foam layer.
Scope of application the innovative technological product: technological processes in the treatment of gas emissions or technological gases.

Madre y destino en la tragedia griega
Authors: Junco Ethel , Cáttedra Olivia 
Published: November 2021

A partir de dos tragedias de Eurípides, revisamos la figura de madre mítica en función de paradigma cultural en orden a establecer relaciones históricas. Vinculamos la perspectiva del helenismo del siglo IV y los fenómenos contemporáneos sobre tres claves: el distanciamiento de lo divino y su intento de resignificación a través de una ética horizontal, la generalización de la violencia como estadio de convivencia normalizado, la necesidad de referentes a nivel individual y social. En los textos elegidos, el motivo del destino enfocado desde las consecuencias de la guerra desarrolla tipos contrastantes de heroicidad; entre ellos, Hécuba, la reina madre convertida en viuda y testigo del fin de su descendencia, hace la propuesta distintiva, por medio de la renovación de la idea de justicia y de la revalorización del sufrimiento con sentido trascendente. Eurípides ofrece una alternativa, que cuestiona la idea de civilización ante la crisis de su mundo tradicional -abandono de los dioses, arbitrariedad de los hombres, sojuzgamiento de los inocentes. Si la tragedia propone una actualización del mito de Troya en sede clásica –Atenas de la democracia- su relectura ofrece herramientas de análisis para una contemporaneidad debilitada en su fe trascendente y vulnerada en sus relaciones interpersonales.
Abstract
Based on two tragedies by Euripides, we review the mythical mother figure as a cultural paradigm in order to establish historical relationships. We link the perspective of 4th century Hellenism and contemporary phenomena on three keys: the distancing from the divine and its attempt of resignification through a horizontal ethics, the generalization of violence as a normalized stage of coexistence, the need of referents at individual and social level. In the chosen texts, the motif of destiny focused from the consequences of war develops contrasting types of heroism; among them, Hecuba, the queen mother turned widow and witness of the end of her offspring, makes the distinctive proposal, through the renewal of the idea of justice and the revaluation of suffering with a transcendent sense. Euripides offers an alternative, which questions the idea of civilization in the face of the crisis of its traditional world -abandonment of the gods, arbitrariness of men, subjugation of the innocent. If the tragedy proposes an update of the myth of Troy in a classical setting -Athens of democracy- its re-reading offers analytical tools for a contemporaneity weakened in its transcendent faith and violated in its interpersonal relationships.
Keywords: tragedy, Euripides, Hellenism, Hecuba, heroism.
QUANTIFICATION OF BILASTINE AND MONTELUKAST COMBINATION IN FORMULATIONS UTILIZING LIQUID CHROMATOGRAPHY: STABILITY STUDIES
Authors: VIJAYALAKSHMI KANCHARLA , ANAND ANDREWS BETHAPUDI SAMUEL , NAGESWARA RAO BOLINENI 
Published: November 2021

Objective: We have developed a “stability-indicating RP-HPLC” procedure for the Bilastine (BLS) and montelukast (MTL) analysis of tablets.
Methods: The quantification of BLS and MTL combination was implemented utilising a Waters column (C18, 5 μm, 250 mm and 4.6 mm). Isocratic mobile phase had 60% volume KH2PO4 of 0.1M strength with pH 4.2 units and 40% volume methanol at a flow with 1.0 ml/min speed. UV detection at 232 nm was done to examine BLS and MTL. Stability experiments of BLS and MTL under distinctive environments of stress were also performed.
Results: The BLS and MTL were eluted at 1.810 min and 2.551 min, respectively. The responses were found to be linear for the concentration ranges of 10-30 µg/ml (BLS) and 5-15 µg/ml (MTL). Percent comparative standard deviance for precision was 0.331% (BLS) and 0.486% (MTL). Percent assay for accuracy was 98.96% (BLS) and 99.00% (MTL). The detection limit and quantitation limit measures for BLS were 0.018 µg/ml and 0.059 µg/ml, respectively, while for MTL it was 0.024 µg/ml and 0.081 µg/ml, respectively. Robustness studies authorized that the method is robust with percent comparative standard deviance of a highest 1.950%.
Conclusion: The developed “stability-indicating RP-HPLC” procedure for the BLS and MTL analysis is simple, sensitive, precise, specific and robust, making it appropriate to the assessment of BLS and MTL in a tablet formulation.

Published: November 2021

Objective: The objective of the present study was to develop, optimize, and evaluate Ibandronate-sodium loaded chitosan nanoparticles (Ib-CS NPs) to treat osteoporosis.
Methods: NPs were prepared by the Ionic gelation method and optimized for various parameters such as the effect of concentration of chitosan, sodium tripolyphosphate (TPP), and pH effect on particle size polydispersity index (PDI), zeta potential, and entrapment efficiency. The prepared nanoparticles were characterized using particle size analyzer (DLS), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and Fourier-Transform Infrared spectroscopy (FTIR).
Results: Formulated NPs were obtained in the average nano size in the range below 200 nm in TEM, SEM, and DLS studies. The particle size and encapsulation efficiency of the optimized formulation were 176.1 nm and 63.28%, respectively. The release profile of NPs was depended on the dissolution medium and followed the First-order release kinetics.
Conclusion: Bisphosphonates are the most commonly prescribed drugs for treating osteoporosis in the US and many other countries, including India. Ibandronate is a widely used anti-osteoporosis drug, exhibits a strong inhibitory effect on bone resorption performed by osteoclast cells. Our results indicated that Ibandronate sodium-loaded chitosan nanoparticles provide an effective medication for the treatment of osteoporosis.

Authors: Bansal Aditya , Akhtar Faisal , Desai Sapna , Velasco-Gonzalez Cruz , Bansal Anirudh , Teagle Angie , Shridhar Avni , Webre Karen , Ostrow Sheila , Fary David , Parrino Patrick 
Published: November 2021

Background The European CE Mark approval study and the MOMENTUM 3 trial
demonstrated safety and a reduction in hemocompatibility-related adverse
events with use of HeartMate 3 (HM3) device. This single center study
investigated the real-world experience in HM3 patients since FDA
approval. Methods This retrospective, observational study included
patients implanted with the HM3 LVAD as a primary implant between
October 2017-March 2020. Patients were divided into trial group
and postapproval group. Primary endpoint was survival at 6 months.
Secondary endpoints were adverse events including pump thrombosis
(requiring pump exchange), stroke, renal failure, acute limb ischemia,
re-exploratory for bleeding, gastrointestinal bleeding, right
ventricular failure, and driveline infection. Results A total of 189
patients were implanted with HM3 device during the study period. 174
patients met the inclusion criteria: 82 patients in the trial group and
92 patients in the postapproval group. The postapproval group had
younger patients, higher pre-operative mean international normalized
ratio, and greater numbers of patients with bridge to transplant (BTT)
indications, IINTERMACS profile 1, and use of mechanical assist devices
(other than IABP) than the trial group. Other characteristics between
the two groups were comparable. Overall survival at 6 months in the
postapproval group was 93.3% vs. 93.8% ( p=0.88). The
postapproval group demonstrated a statistically significant lower
incidence of re-explorative surgery for bleeding (10.9% vs 46.3,
p=0.01) than the trial group. Conclusion In this single-center
study, the real-world 6-month survival in the postapproval group was
comparable to the trial results. Further studies are needed to monitor
long-term outcomes.
Gestational Diabetes Mellitus and the Risks of Overall and Type-Specific Cardiovascular Diseases: A Population- and Sibling-Matched Cohort Study
Authors: Yu Yongfu , Soohoo Melissa , Sørensen Henrik Toft , Li Jiong , Arah Onyebuchi A. 
Published: November 2021

OBJECTIVE
To evaluate associations between gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) and various incident cardiovascular disease (CVD) end points, considering the effects of the mediating role of type 2 diabetes and shared environmental/familial factors.

RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS
This population-based cohort study included 10,02,486 parous women in Denmark during 1978–2016. We used Cox regression to 1) examine the associations of GDM with overall and type-specific CVDs using full-cohort and sibling-matched analysis, 2) quantify the impact of type 2 diabetes after GDM using mediation analysis, and 3) assess whether these associations were modified by prepregnancy obesity or maternal history of CVD.

RESULTS
Women with a history of GDM had a 40% increased overall CVD risk (hazard ratio [HR] 1.40, 95% CI 1.35–1.45). Sibling-matched analyses yielded similar results (HR 1.44, 95% CI 1.28–1.62). The proportion of association between GDM and overall CVD explained by subsequent type 2 diabetes was 23.3% (15.4–32.8%). We observed increased risks of specific CVDs, including 65% increased stroke risk and more than twofold risks for myocardial infarction, heart failure, and peripheral artery disease. The elevated overall risks were more pronounced among women with GDM and prepregnancy obesity or maternal history of CVD.

CONCLUSIONS
A history of GDM was associated with increased risks of overall and specific CVDs. Increased risks were partly explained by subsequent type 2 diabetes, and the need to identify other pathways remains important. Continuous monitoring of women with a history of GDM, especially those with prepregnancy obesity or maternal history of CVD, may provide better opportunities to reduce their cardiovascular risk.

The Union state in the perception of the political parties of Russia and Belarus
Authors: Bakhlova O. V. , Bakhlov I. V. , Ulyasckina E. G. 
Published: November 2021

Introduction. The Union State of Belarus and Russia is one of the privileged integration formats for the Russian Federation. However the Union State and the participating countries are under pressure caused by internal and external challenges including those rooted in the political dimension. The lack of the union-level political community and the weak institutionalization of public support for the Russian-Belarusian integration increase their danger. The purpose of this article is to identify the specifics of the perception of the Union State by the political parties of the Russian Federation and the Republic of Belarus as an integration format taking into account the key vectors of the state integration policy articulated by them.Materials and methods. The main research methods include comparison, traditional and formal­ized study of documents. The research is based on the program texts of the political parties of the Russian Federation and the Republic of Belarus – their of­ficial programs and charters, election documents, as well as their party websites and mass media.The results of the research. The analysis of these materials made it possible to characterize the dominants and constants of the party discourse in Russia and Belarus, to show the similar and distinc­tive features in it. The major issues concerning the integration policy,recorded in party documents are shown. Special attention is paid to the parties rep­resented in the national parliaments as having the greatest legal opportunities to influence the adop­tion of integration decisions. Almost all of these parties can be considered as pro-integration ones. At the same time, the limited political functionality of the parties in both countries and the lack of posi­tions on issues of integration policy and prospects for the development of Russian-Belarusian integra­tion elaborated in detail in the party programs are emphasized. The interest in the Union State in the party programs as a whole is inferior to the interest in the Eurasian integration.Discussion and conclusions. The necessity of increasing the political functionality of Russian and Belarusian parties as agents of union construc­tion is substantiated. The mechanisms of the federal and regional levels that allow Russian parties to become more active in this capacity are articulated. The trends in the evolution of the party system of the Republic of Belarus are revealed, which allow us to predict a relative improvement in the prospects for creating new pro-integration parties and promot­ing inter-party diplomacy with the participation of the leading parties of the Russian Federation in line with the public diplomacy of the Union State.
Pemberdayaan Masyarakat dalam Pemahaman Tentang Akad Kafalah Berdasarkan Kompilasi Hukum Ekonomi Syariah (KHES) di Desa Pandau Jaya Kecamatan Siak Hulu
Authors: Azani Muhammad , Basri Hasan 
Published: November 2021

The results of community service in the form of legal counseling in Pandau Jaya Village, Siak Hulu District are as follows: Has increased participants' understanding of the Kafalah contract in the Sharia Economic Law Compilation (KHES). The material presented includes the pillars of the kafalah contract, the terms for the object of the kafalah contract, the types of the kafalah contract, the implementation of the kafalah contract, and the parties who die in the kafalah contract. After delivering the material, participants were asked a number of questions related to the material presented. The distribution of participants' answers after legal counseling can be stated that participants understand the material presented. In general, participants can understand the kafalah contract in KHES. There were 6 (six) questions given, question number 3 about the type of kafalah contract and number 5 about the guarantor who passed away received the highest answers with 84% and 85%. Problems that arise in the form of participant questions are questions about the difference between the kafalah contract and the rahn contract as a guarantee contract and questions about the pillars of the kafalah contract. Kafalah is the equivalent of dhamman, which means guarantee, but in its development, Kafalah is identical to kafalah al-wajhi (personal guarantee, self-guarantee), while dhamman is identical to collateral in the form of goods / assets. This concept is different from akad rahn which means collateral, but collateral from the person in debt. In addition, questions about the pillars of the kafalah contract, the answer refers to Article 22 KHES 335 which states that the pillars of the kafalah contract are the guarantor (Kafil), the guaranteed party (Makful 'Anhu), the indebted party (Makful Lahu), the object (Makful Bihi), and Akad. The kafalah contract in sharia banking activities is used as a form of bank service to guarantee activities or businesses proposed by customers. Guarantee in the form of kafalah can be carried out with the model of asset guarantee (kafalah bi al-mal) and person / institution guarantee (kafalah bi al-nafs). Financially or institutionally, the bank guarantees the party applying for guarantee services.

Published: November 2021

Objectives:
Parents who have children with complex lifelong and life-limiting neurological conditions experienced many stresses and anxieties throughout their lives as caregivers. However, this information is still very limited. The study aimed to explore the challenges faced by parents with children who have complex neurological conditions, their coping strategies, needs, and expectations.

Materials and Methods:
A semi-structured, in-depth interviews were conducted in the either Malay or English language among the parents of children with complex lifelong neurological conditions and have been on long-term in-patient hospital care. The interviews were audio-recorded and transcribed for thematic analysis. The qualitative study was conducted from October to November 2016 at the Paediatric Institute of Hospital Kuala Lumpur. Grounded theory was used to examine the qualitative data with inductive and deductive types of coding. The transcripts were read repeatedly to allow familiarity to the themes presented by the participants. Further discussions were conducted among the researchers to triangulate the information.

Results:
A total of 11 parents were interviewed for this study. The thematic analysis resulted in 8 challenges: Physical wellbeing, Environment, Relationship, Financial, Occupational, Rational, Mental, and Spiritual. Coping strategies comprised problem focused issues related to the key challenges in the caregivers’ context. Similar to the needs and expectations, the key themes were derived from the key understandings of the challenges and looking at the palliative care impacts for these children.

Conclusion:
There are various challenges faced by parents of children with life-limiting neurological disorders. Physical, Environment, Relationship, Financial, Occupational, Rational, Mental, and Spiritual Wellbeing can be a platform for the assessment of the caregivers’ needs and the planning for palliative care support.
