Published: April 2023

Satu diantara biomass yang dapat dimanfaatkan sebagai sunber energi adalah limbah kulit nanas yang kaya akan kandungan selulosa. Kandungan lignin yang cukup tinggi dalam kulit nanas menjadi masalah dalam proses hidrolisis. Penelitian yang telah dilakukan untuk mengurangi kandungan lignin dengan metode delignifikasi MAE (microwave asissted extraction). Dari hasil penelitian yang telah dilakukan denagn memvariasikan suhu operasi pada 70oC, 80oC dan 90oC diperoleh hasil bahwa degradasi lignin meningkat seiring dengan kenaikan suhu operasi MAE. Pada sampel kontrol tenpa perlakuan MAE diperoleh kelarutan lignin dan selulosa sebesar 2,68% dan 17,39% dari berat sampel kering. Sedangkan setelah dilakukan proses delignifikasi MAE pada sampel, kelarutan lignin dan selulosa meningkat hingga 9,04% dan 29,42% dari berat sampel. Hasil tersebut diperoleh pada kondisi operasi suhu 90oC, waktu 20 menit dan rasio 1:20 (b/v). Kemudian hasil dilakukan analisa lanjutan dengan menggunakan FTIR untuk membandingkan komponen organik yang terdapat pada sampel. Ditemukan hasil yang serupa pada serapan didaerah lebar peak 3320 dan 3333 cm-1 pada grafik result spectrum menunjukkan getaran gugus O-H bebas pada sekelompok gugus hidroksil dari molekul selulosa pada kulit nanas. Wavenumber 1625 dan 1630 cm-1 pada grafik result spectrum pretreatment microwave dan menunjukkan getaran rantai aromatik pada lignin. Pada puncak peak 1032 dan 1034 cm-1 merupakan regangan cincin glukosa, yang merupakan perubahan bentuk dari C-H pada selulosa dan hemiselulosa. Secara umum puncak grafik serapan semakin berkurang, hal tersebut menunjukkan bahwa pelakuan microwave pada kulit nanas dapat mengurangi kandungan lignin pada limbah kulit nanas.Kata kunci: Selulosa, Nanas, Delignifikasi, Biogas, Microwave

Authors: Sung Chee Boon , Danoudis Mary , Paul Eldho , Iansek Robert 
Published: April 2023

Background: Tablet formulations of Parkinson’s disease (PD) medications may become ineffective at managing motor fluctuations in advanced PD. The liquid formulation, levodopa carbidopa ascorbic acid solution, or LCAS, is an effective and inexpensive treatment for motor fluctuations however it remains underutilized. Objective: We compared the efficacy of LCAS with tablet formulations and Duodopa jejunal infusion through routine inpatient management using hourly functional status measures, the Timed Up and Go Test (TUG). The TUG differentiates between ‘off’ and ‘on’ states and quantifies motor fluctuations. Methods: Experienced nurses used the TUG times and functional observations recorded hourly throughout the waking day to optimize the LCAS hourly dose and the Duodopa flow rate over several days. When patients were stabilized on each of the interventions, the TUG measures were then recorded to compare the outcomes of the interventions. Results: Twenty-six participants had TUG times recorded while on one or more of the formulations: 19 had TUG times recorded on tablets, 23 on LCAS and 10 on Duodopa. TUG times on LCAS and Duodopa were significantly faster compared to tablets ( p < 0.0001, p = 0.001 respectively). Severity of dyskinesia was not significantly different between formulations ( p = 0.35). Daily dose for the three formulations and the hourly doses for LCAS and Duodopa did not differ significantly ( p = 0.37, p = 0.19 respectively). Conclusion: This report demonstrated the efficacy of LCAS for improving motor complications and its equivalency with Duodopa jejunal infusion.
A Study on Bilayer Tablets for the Anti-Allergic Drug
Authors: Subhash Tarate Mr. Vivek , Pati Dr. Jagdishchandra 
Published: April 2023

The bilayer tablet formulations used for each individual layer should be compressible (i.e., the capacity of a material to undergo a reduction in volume as a result of an applied pressure) and compactable (i.e., the capacity of a powder to be transformed into tablets with strength during densification) on their own, i.e., they should show satisfactory reduction in volume and form mechanically sound and coherent solid bodies. A bigger contact area exists between the layers as a result of the increased surface roughness, which improves interlayer adhesion. Bilayer tablet characterisation in early formulation development has certain advantages, including Bilayer tablet interfacial strength should be quantified, unusual or extreme properties of compacted layers should be identified, lot-to-lot consistency of the produced tablets should be ensured, rational formulation development strategy followed, material failure mechanisms during tablet manufacturing should be explained, and tablet-specific factors' effects should be understood.

Authors: Gera Mark , Rathod Urvashi , Karra-Aly Ayah , Aluckal Eby , Abraham Abe 
Published: April 2023

Purpose: Problem-based learning (PBL) has been widely used in medical education since the 1960s. In recent years, Team-based learning (TBL) has gained popularity and has been applied in various medical and other professional institutions around the world. The objective of this systematic review was to identify which teaching pedagogy, TBL or PBL, is more effective in delivering medical education. Method: The authors searched PsycNet, ERIC and PubMed databases for articles on TBL and PBL in regards to medical education, published between 2002 and 2020. The articles were selected and reviewed by the PRISMA framework guidelines. Results: The authors identified 15 articles after full-text screening that satisfied their inclusion criteria. Of the 15 articles, 12 incorporated a modified TBL format, while 3 described classic PBL. Conclusions: Overall, the majority of the articles demonstrated a positive learning experience of TBL programs. There are pros and cons to both TBL and PBL. The advantages include promoting critical thinking and fostering collaboration, while disadvantages are lack of motivation and poor clinical problem solving. In the future, finding a way to merge both of these teaching methods might optimize learning experiences in medical education.
Canadian immigration policies: Implications for discrimination and biases in tourism employment
Authors: Wright Kelly-Ann , Dimanche Frederic 
Published: April 2023

<p>Canada has long been recognized as an immigrant-friendly nation that is committed to welcoming people from all over the world. However, many immigrants, particularly racialized and ethnic minorities, regardless of social capital, skill sets, and experience, find themselves increasingly concentrated in low-paying and low-skilled jobs. Discrimination and bias, either from individuals or institutions, are not uncommon and have impacted every stratum of tourism stakeholders. Furthermore, discriminatory practices have long been documented within the sector including racial segregation between different job functions, wage gaps, and insufficient advancement opportunities for minorities. This chapter explores how Canada’s immigration policy may be working (intentionally or unintentionally) to supply racialized immigrants, many of whom are highly educated and professionally trained, as cheap labour to the Canadian labour market where they face de-skilling, discrimination, and exploitation in various sectors, including hospitality and tourism. </p>

Published: April 2023

The forensically-important Dipteran flies, Lucilia sericata and Megaselia scalaris, complete their life-cycles in perishable, filthy, unhygienic and fowl-smelled natural diets, which hinder the rearing work and the indoor environment of laboratory. To overcome this unhygienic condition, a newly formulated simple, comparatively more hygienic one was prepared and evaluated for the rearing of these two flies. This artificial diet, when compared to their natural diets for rearing at different temperatures, it demonstrated no significant difference for their developmental durations. Statistical analyses proved that the difference between the natural and formulated diet was not responsible for their developmental durations; rather their rearing temperatures played a significant role in this respect. Taken together, these findings showed that the newly formulated artificial diet might facilitate the hygienic and easy rearing of these flies for forensic and medical entomology as well as other research purposes in terms of nutrition, cost-effectiveness and availability of the ingredients of diets.

Published: April 2023

The study was conducted at Fatki River under Magura district to learn the aquatic weeds diversity and abundance. This paper focused on species variation, number of species, water quality parameter and identification of aquatic weeds. It was assessed by collecting samples from Chukinogor Ghat, Kechuadubi and Arpara bazar during May to August, 2016. Aquatic weeds were abundant in rainy season and the semi-aquatic weeds were available almost all the year round. According to this study, total 22 species belonging to 12 orders, 16 families and 21 genuses were found. Again, 46%, 28%, 26% of total aquatic weeds percentages identified from the Chukinogor Ghat, Kechuadubi and Arpara bazar respectively. During this study period, nine species of family Pontederiaceae, Convolvulaceae, Menyanthaceae, Asteraceae, Poaceae, Araceae, Amaranthaceae, Polygonaceae were common in Chukinogor Ghat, Kechuadubi and Arpara bazar. Noticeable species– Lemna minor, Marsilea quadrifolia, Ludwigia palustris, Aeschynomene aspera, Najas graminea, Hydrilla verticillata, Najas guadalupensis, Utricularia inflate were only found in Chukinogor Ghat. This species are easily adapted in large areas. On the other hands, two species were common in Chukinogor Ghat, Kechuadubi – Pistia stratiotes and Equisetum hyemale. Prominent species of Arpara bazar were Cyperus rotundus and Xanthium indicum. Total 11 species of aquatic weeds were mainly recognized from these Kechuadubi, while greatest number was recorded of 20 species from Chukinogor Ghat and 12 species were have its place to Arpara bazar. Management technique and water quality parameters were also studied during study period and the temperature was recorded 29.0-30.00 ºC in Chukinogor Ghat, same as 28.0-320 ºC in Kechuadubi. Furthermore, 29.0-31.00 ºC temperature was found in Arpara bazar. DO levels were stable at ranged from7.0-7.5 ppm in Chukinogor Ghat and 4.7-5.3 ppm was recorded in two experimental Kechuadubi 4.5-5.0 in Arpara bazar respectively. This difference may arise due to the using of aerator in the Chukinogor Ghat same as decomposition, intensity of light in Kechuadubi and Arpara bazar. Transparency was 28-32cm in Chukinogor Ghat, 36-44cm in Kechuadubi, and 38-42 cm in Arpara bazar.

Published: April 2023

A study was conducted to examine the culture and growth performance of Spirulina platensis in three different concentrations (25, 50 and 75 percent) of digested rotten orange (DRO) and Kosaric medium (KM) as control for three months. Each experiment was done in triplicates under fluorescent light in light: dark (12 hour: 12 hour) condition for a period of 14 days. Cell weight, chlorophyll a content of Spirulina platensis and physico-chemical parameters of cultured media (temperature, pH, light intensity) were measured at every alternative day. During the culture period, temperature was more or less similar and ranged from 30.1 to 31.4˚C. The range of light intensities was recorded from 2660 to 2770 lux/ /s during the culture period. The maximum pH was recorded 9.9 in 25% digest rotten orange (DRO) on 8th day of the culture and minimum was recorded 8.2 in all the medias on the initial day of the culture. The growth rate of Spirulina platensis cultured in supernatant of DRO and KM were varied. The initial cell weight of Spirulina platensis was 0.0023 mg/L that attained maximum cell weight of 12.44 mg/L in Kosaric medium on the 10th day of culture. Besides that, the maximum cell weight was 7.679, 12.366, and 9.455 mg/L when cultured in supernatant of 25, 50, and 75% in DRO on the 10th day of the culture. While, the initial chlorophyll a content of Spirulina platensis was 0.0015 mg/L which attained the highest content of 10.54 mg/L when grown in KM. The highest chlorophyll a content of Spirulina platensis was 6.926 mg/L when grown in 25% DRO, it was 10.476 mg/L when grown in 50% DRO, and it was 9.140 mg/L when grown in 75% DRO on the 10th day of the culture. This study showed that, the growth performance of Spirulina platensis was higher in supernatant of 50% DRO than 25 and 75% DRO. This concentration of medium gave satisfactory results compared with standard KM. This variation probably occurred because of differences in nutrient concentrations and composition of the medium. Therefore, it can be concluded that, the concentration of 50% DRO is suitable and favorable for Spirulina platensis culture.
