Published: June 2024

This study aimed to develop a novel gastro-retentive drug delivery system in the form of floating tablets containing the antidiabetic medication sitagliptin. Sitagliptin acts by inhibiting the enzyme dipeptidyl peptidase-4 (DPP-4), which helps break down hormones released by the gut in response to food intake, including glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1).The tablets contains Pectin and HPMC K as binders, with lactose monohydrate serving as a diluent. The effervescent agent, utilizing Citric acid as a gas-generating agent, was the basis for causing the tablet to float. Magnesium stearate and talc are used in this tablet to increase the flow properties of the powder thus it helps in punching of the tablet. The direct compression method facilitated the production of six distinct formulations. Evaluation of these formulations focused on pre compression studies and post compression studies of the tablet. Consistency was observed across all formulations, indicated by minimal weight variation and good in vitro dissolution profiles. Among these formulations, M5 distinguished itself as the most promising. It was composed of 3mg Pectin and 7mg HPMC K, achieving an extended floating duration of 12 hours coupled with an efficient drug release profile over 8 hours. This formulation’s performance suggests its potential as an effective gastro retentive delivery system for Sitagliptin, offering a controlled release that could enhance patient compliance and therapeutic efficacy.

3-(4-chlorophenyl)-7-methyl-5H-[1,2,4]triazolo[3,4-b][1,3,4]thiadiazin-6(7H)-one (CTT) was synthesized and evaluated as corrosion inhibitor for copper in one molar HNO3. The adsorption properties for the synthesized CTT were determined by experimental and theoretical methods in acid environment. The chemical method such as mass loss method (ML), DC potentiodynamic polarization (PDP) and AC impedance (EIS) techniques were utilized to determine the inhibitive behavior of CTT. Outcome data obtained from these methods displayed that with increasing the concentration of CTT its inhibition efficiencies (%IE) increases and reached 91.5% at 24x10-6 M , 25oC using EIS technique. The presence of CTT reduces the capacity of the double layer (Cdl) and improves the charge transfer resistance (Rct) in a solution of one molar nitric acid. CTT is a mixed-type inhibitor from the data obtained from the polarization curves. The attained data indicated that CTT was physically adsorbed onto the Cu surface in accordance for the Langmuir adsorption. The surface protection examination was carried out using scanning electron microscopy (SEM), Energy Dispersive X-ray (EDX) and atomic force microscope (AFM). Also, The quantum chemical parameters of CTT were computed and discussed. The results of several methods are in agreement with each other.

The study was conducted to assess growth performance and blood profile of rabbit bucks fed dietary inclusion levels of Moringa oleifera leaf meal (MoLM). Thirty (30) rabbit bucks (739.83 to 805.17 g) were balanced for weight and allocated to five groups of 6 rabbits and replicated six times with a buck per replicate in a complete randomized design. Five diets were formulated with incorporation of MoLM at 0.0, 7.5, 15.0, 22.5 and 30.0% and denoted as T1, T2, T3, T4 and T5, respectively. Results on growth performance parameters were not influenced by dietary treatment. Rabbits fed control diet, diets containing 7.5, 15.0 and 22.5% had highest and similar dress weight while those on diet containing 30.0% recorded the least dress weight. Heart weight was highest and similar for rabbit fed control diet, diets containing 7.5, 22.5 and 30.0% while those on diet containing 15.0% had the least heart weight. Rabbits on control diet had highest kidney fats while rabbits on diet containing 7.5 and 30.0% recorded the least and similar kidney fats weight. Bile, left kidney and liver weight were lower for rabbits fed 30.0%. Rabbits fed control diet, diets containing 7.5, 15.0 and 30.0% had highest and similar MCHC while rabbits on diet containing 22.5% recorded the least MCHC. Rabbits on control diet and diet containing 30.0% had the highest) and least lymphocytes, respectively. Rabbits fed control diet, diets containing 7.5 and 15.0% recorded highest and similar neutrophils while rabbits fed diet containing 30.00% had least neutrophils. Rabbits on control diet, diets containing 7.5 and 15.0% had highest and similar albumin while rabbits fed diets containing 22.5 and 30.0% recorded the least and similar albumin. Rabbits on control diet, diets containing 22.5 and 30.0% recorded highest and similar ALP while rabbits on diets containing 7.5 and 15.0% had the least and similar ALP. It is concluded that inclusion MOLM up to 30% had no adverse effect on their growth performance, blood profile reduced kidney fat and liver weight kidney weight. It is therefore recommended that Moringa oleifera leaf meal can be included in the diets of rabbit bucks intended for breeding purposes up to 30.0%.
Investigating the Impact: Financial Literacy, Socio-Economic Status, and Awareness on Investment Decisions with Moderation Factors

Published: June 2024

Investment decisions must be made appropriately so that investors are not trapped by investment scams. But in fact, cases of investment scams are increasingly rampant in Indonesia. The primary objective of this paper is to highlight the lack of financial literacy as one of the elements that might be responsible for Indonesia's substantial number of investment scam victims. To investigate the association between financial literacy, SES, awareness, and investment decisions, the model put out in this research employs logistic regression analysis. The results show that financial literacy has an impact on investment decisions, while SES has no influence on investment decisions. Awareness of fraudulent investments can moderate the relationship between financial literacy and investment decisions but cannot moderate SES on investment decisions. This study exhorts investors to base their investment choices on their financial literacy rather than on outside influences. Financial literacy training programs should be developed by the government, financial institutions, and educational institutions.

Published: June 2024

Recognizing the limitations of their current, subjective evaluation system focused solely on delivery, XYZ Company seeks to implement a more standardized and comprehensive approach to supply chain performance measurement. This research aims to evaluate the performance of XYZ Company's Distribution Center (DC) supply chain using the well-established Supply Chain Operations Reference (SCOR) model. SCOR provides a validated set of performance indicators, which will be further weighted using the Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP) to reflect their relative importance to XYZ Company's specific goals. The Snorm De Boer method will then be employed to normalize the final score for each indicator. A traffic light system will visually represent performance gaps, highlighting areas requiring immediate improvement. This research will analyze data from 27 key metrics across 2022 and 2023, providing a holistic picture of DC performance. While preliminary results indicate an overall "average" to "good" performance (69.54 and 70.08, respectively), further analysis will identify specific areas for improvement based on SCOR Best Practices. This research will ultimately propose practical solutions to enhance XYZ Company's overall supply chain efficiency and effectiveness.
Ethnic enclaves and niches
Authors: Zhou Min 
Published: April 2012

Abstract
Ethnic enclaves are urban neighborhoods in which immigrant groups or ethnic minorities are residentially concentrated, while ethnic niches are where particular types of businesses are disproportionately owned and/or staffed by ethnic minorities. Many ethnic enclaves seem to be unambiguously identified by the name associated with a sending country, such as Little Italy, Little Tokyo, Koreatown, Little India, and Thaitown, while others are known by the name of a neighborhood, such as Pico Union of Los Angeles (a Latino enclave) or New Orleans East (a Vietnamese enclave).
Family migration

Published: April 2012

AbstractUsually understood as the movement of people across borders in the context of family‐related decisions, family migration is not a novel phenomenon, for permanent emigration and settlement in new lands has been part of human experience historically. For example, the English migration of members of the Puritan religious community to New England in the 17th century, and the Jewish emigration to escape pogroms in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, have largely involved the movement of intact families to less populous regions and in the process the transplantation of whole communities and cultures (Yeoh 2009).
Composite adaptive disturbance observer‐based control for a class of nonlinear systems with multisource disturbance
Authors: Wei Xinjiang , Chen Nan , Li Wuquan 
Published: April 2012

SUMMARYAntidisturbance control and estimation problem are introduced for a class of nonlinear system subject to multisource disturbances. The uncertain multisource disturbances consist of not only a single harmonic or constant disturbance but also another unexpected nonlinear signal described as a nonlinear function. The composite adaptive disturbance observers are constructed separately from the controller design to estimate the disturbance with partial known information. By integrating disturbance observer‐based controller with robust adaptive control, a novel type of composite adaptive disturbance observer‐based control scheme is presented for a class of nonlinear system with multisource disturbances. Simulations for a flight control system are given to demonstrate the effectiveness of the results compared with the previous schemes. Copyright © 2012 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
Discrete‐time multivariable robust model reference adaptive control based on Kp = LDS factorization: an input–output approach
Authors: Li Jun‐Ling , Yang Guang‐Hong 
Published: April 2012

SUMMARYA direct scheme of robust model reference adaptive control is reinvestigated, in an input–output approach, for a large class of discrete‐time multivariable systems with unmodeled dynamics and bounded disturbances. Compared with the existing results, in virtue of a high‐frequency gain matrix factorization, the assumptions required in the scheme are further relaxed without overmuch complicating the controller structure, and a permissible range of the gain parameter in a modified adaptive algorithm is clearly specified. Moreover, paralleling the continuous‐time theoretic framework, robust stability and robust tracking performance are analyzed by using the multivariable versions of some important technical lemmas, such as an exponentially weighted norm‐relation lemma and two swapping lemmas.
