description: Background: Vorinostat (VRS), a histone deacetylases inhibitor, has significant cytotoxic potential in a large number of human cancer cell lines.Objective: To clarify its promising anticancer potential and to improve its drawback related to physical properties and in vivo performance of VRS.Methods: VRS was successfully incorporated into nanostructured lipid carriers (NLCs) by the hot microemulsion method using sonication following a homogenization technique.Results: After the optimization process, VRS-loaded NLCs (VRS-NLCs) were obtained as ideal quality nanoparticles with a spherical shape, small size (∼150 nm), negative charge (∼−22 mV), and narrow size distribution. In addition, the high entrapment efficiency (∼99%) and sustained drug release profile were recorded. Cytotoxicity study in three different cell lines (A549, MCF-7, and SCC-7) demonstrated higher cytotoxicity of VRS-NLCs than free drug. Finally, the AUC of VRS (118.16 ± 17.35 µgh/mL) was enhanced ∼4.4 times compared with that of free drug (27.03 ± 3.25 µgh/mL).Conclusion: These results suggest the potential of NLCs as an oral delivery system for enhancement of cellular uptake, in vitro cytotoxicity in cancer cell lines and the oral bioavailability of VRS.

description: The objective of the current study was to enhance dissolution and oral bioavailability of the poorly water-soluble drug, sorafenib (SFN), by solid dispersion (SD) technique using a novel amphiphilic copolymer, polyvinyl caprolactam–polyvinyl acetate–polyethyleneglycol graft copolymer (Soluplus®). The SD formulations were prepared by the spray drying method with SFN, Soluplus, and sodium lauryl sulfate (SLS) at various weight ratios in water. The optimized SD formulation, which showed the highest dissolution rate in distilled water, was further characterized for surface morphology, crystallinity, dissolution in pH 1.2, pH 4.0, and pH 6.8, and pharmacokinetics in rats. Powder X-ray diffraction and differential scanning calorimetry revealed the amorphous form of SFN in the formulation. In addition, at the oral dosage of 20 mg/kg SFN, the SD formulation showed increased Cmax and AUC0–48h by 1.5- and 1.8-fold, compared to those of SFN powder, respectively (p

This news content is produced by diasporic news media established for and by diasporic groups. According to scholars, diasporic media plays two broad roles: an orientation role relating to information and advice to help diasporic groups adjust to the host country and a connective role relating to information about events in the homeland.The affordability of new media technology spurred the growth of diasporic media making countless platforms available to diaspora groups to disseminate their views via the legacy media of print, radio, and television; and via the new media of Internet and social media. However, their business model is still preedominantly independent and small scale, and their printed edition is circulated mostly through alternative distribution outlets such as grocery shops, churches, restaurants, and airports.Their practitioners subscribe broadly to the tenets of journalistic professionalism, but these are discursively reinterpreted, appropriated and contested in line with the cultural sensibilities of diaspora audiences. On their part, the diaspora audiences use them as a platform for political activism; to connect with their group members; to watch movies and listen to music. But in recent times, the home governments are using them to tap into the diaspora resources including remittances and skills transfer.

In our case, the negotiation concerned three small pine trees whose branches drooped across a neighbor's driveway, threatening several SUVs with dropping sap. 'Take the trees, Darin,' I told him.

models (mapping, mental categories, etc.) make the human mind "go-round" So, a "Model" of human consciousness and the real world without a proper "Map" of social consciousness and spirituality creates an unhealthy and often dysfunctional model! When one digs into the social sciences, the models or maps that exist for spirituality, religion, and social consciousness have some serious deficiencies which could easily dis-orient many people. At the moment there is not a proper Map of social consciousness nor a proper categorization - map of "types of spirituality." – nor for the record a proper map-definition of religion.
 many present-ay scholars say materialist ideology-methodology falls short in a proper assessment of the "actualities" or the world – such as Rupert Sheldrake, Brain Josephson, Baruss, Julia Mossbridge, Iain McGilChrist, Filipino ethics scholar Jeremiah Reyes, as well as scholar and theologian David Hay (extreme individualism), and Virgilio Enriquez. Then there are Christian psychologists who are critical of materialist ideology such as Dr. Stephen Farra and Dr Paul Wong.

description: To improve the solubility and oral bioavailability of erlotinib, a poorly water-soluble anticancer drug, solid self-emulsifying drug delivery system (SEDDS) was developed using solid inert carriers such as dextran 40 and Aerosil® 200 (colloidal silica). The preliminary solubility of erlotinib in various oils, surfactants, and co-surfactants was determined. Labrafil M2125CS, Labrasol, and Transcutol HP were chosen as the oil, surfactant, and co-surfactant, respectively, for preparation of the SEDDS formulations. The ternary phase diagram was evaluated to show the self-emulsifying area. The formulations were optimized using the droplet size and polydispersity index (PDI) of the resultant emulsions. Then, the optimized formulation containing 5% Labrafil M2125CS, 65% Labrasol, and 30% Transcutol was spray dried with dextran or Aerosil® and characterized for surface morphology, crystallinity, and pharmacokinetics in rats. Powder X-ray diffraction (PXRD) and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) exhibited the amorphous form or molecular dispersion of erlotinib in the formulations. The pharmacokinetic parameters of the optimized formulations showed that the maximum concentration (Cmax) and area under the curve (AUC) of erlotinib were significantly increased, compared to erlotinib powder (p

description: Abstract: It is a fine summer's day, and as you stretch out in the sun, you find yourself contemplating the blue of the sky. Could anything be more mysterious, you wonder? Remote, untouchable, seemingly empty, without surface or limit, the sky seems nevertheless to have swamped your visual awareness. You tap your forehead and are reassured to feel its hard surface. Yes, you are still there, and have not yet melted into the ether. Yet in the visual field the tapping finger strikes no surface but looms like a ghostly, intruding presence that casts its shadow in the void. 'Are you there?' you ask of yourself again, perhaps with a hint of anxiety. How can you be at once here, in place and at home in your body, and at the same time inhabit an atmospheric world that returns the body to you as a spectre?

Examining an Online Self-Assessment Tool for Substance Use
Creators: name: Paige, Madeleine
Publisher: name: Monash University
Year: 2016
Subjects: Clinical Psychology

description: Problematic substance use is an issue of significant public health concern, yet help-seeking remains low, due to barriers such as stigma and exclusion and a lack of information and knowledge about services. Increasingly, people are seeking help online, which provides substance users with an opportunity to gather information with protection from stigma and exclusion. Online substance use self-assessments with personalised feedback and referral options are showing promise in filling the treatment gap as well as engaging those who might not otherwise seek help, and allowing them to self-select an appropriate treatment pathway. They also could have the potential to highlight particular at-risk subgroups. An online self-assessment for substance use was made available on two prominent Australian AOD service websites with minimal marketing or promotion. Over 3,200 people voluntarily completed the online self-assessment from December 2012 until June 2015. This thesis examined characteristics of online help-seekers and their perceptions of helpfulness of the tool. We then identified predictors of a reported transition from enhancement motives for substance use to the more problematic coping motives. Finally, we examined intentions for future help-seeking following the feedback. The sample was generally high in substance use severity, but appeared to be high functioning, indicating an early-intervention population. The majority found the tool to be helpful, and reported that the tool confirmed their suspicions that their substance use was problematic, and provided them with new levels of insight. The transition from enhancement to coping was three times more common than the reverse direction. Significant predictors of this transition were being female (p = .02) and under 25 (p = .03), with high levels of psychological distress (p < .001). Almost all participants intended to take some sort of action (95.9%) following the screen. Intention to do ‘nothing’ was low (4.1%) and had an inverse relationship to AOD symptom severity, indicating that those concerned about their substance use were sufficiently relieved by the feedback to cease unnecessary help-seeking. Women were more likely to intend to seek anonymous forms of help (e.g. online), and men were more likely to intend to seek help face-to-face, which supports existing evidence that women experience increased stigma and exclusion in AOD treatment. These findings can help inform the development of such online tools, and highlight their importance as a cost-effective early-intervention and referral to treatment for those who might not otherwise seek help.

description: The study of the creation-theme in the Didache is a research desideratum. This article examines translations and commentaries to determine the Greek words that refer to this theme and how these can be interpreted in terms of creation-theology. This preliminary set of creation-terminological lexemes will be refined by further analysis to gain an overall impression of the Didache's creation-theology. In the creation-ethical outlook, the question about how the Didache envisions creation continuing in the future is addressed, which is discussed in light of contemporary challenges. The Didache has neither a specific ecological interest nor a general devaluation of the present creation. It does, however, have eco-theological potential.

description: Eugenol, a natural compound found in essential oils such as clove oil, has been extensively studied for its diverse biological activities including the therapeutic potential against microbial and parasitic infections. This review provides an overview of the synthetic strategies (shown in Supplementary Material) employed to develop bioactive derivatives and analogues derived from eugenol and related compounds (e.g., dihydroeugenol and isoeugenol), focusing on biological activity of more than 100 bioactive eugenol derivatives against bacterial, fungal, viral and protozoal pathogens. Through a comprehensive survey of literature, this paper shows the impact of structural modifications of these phenylpropanoids on antimicrobial and antiparasitic activity. Key findings highlight promising candidates for further development in antimicrobial drug discovery, suggesting directions for future research in the pursuit of effective therapeutic agents. Eugenol exhibits a wide range of biological activities, offering potential for drug development across various therapeutic areas. Eugenol's structure includes key functional groups that contribute to its biological activity and allow functionalization. Eugenol derivatives present significant potential against a wide range of pathogens, emphasizing the role of chemical structure in improving biological activity. Numerous eugenol derivatives have shown antifungal activity, highlighting the potential for discovering new drug candidates for fungal infections. Eugenol derivatives may provide new candidates for treating bacterial infections, especially those caused by resistant strains, enhancing the current drug repertoire. Some eugenol derivatives have demonstrated potential as antiviral agents, offering hope for developing treatments for viral infections that currently lack effective therapies. Various eugenol derivatives show promise in combating parasitic infections, with further studies needed to identify clinically viable candidates as alternatives to current outdated and limited treatments.

description: We analyze relationally evolving and effectively interacting Group Field Theory (GFT) models in the context of the GFT quantum gravity condensate analogue of the Gross-Pitaevskii equation for real Bose-Einstein condensates (BEC). More precisely, we firstly study the expectation value of the volume operator imported from Loop Quantum Gravity (LQG) in an isotropic restriction in the static case of a free and then interacting condensate system. In both cases one finds a non-vanishing condensate population for which the expectation value is dominated by the lowest nontrivial configurations of the quantum geometry. This indicates that the condensate consists of many smallest building blocks giving rise to an effectively continuous geometry, which suggests the interpretation of the condensate phase to correspond to a geometric phase. In a second step, we study the relational evolution of such condensate systems with respect to a relational clock and demonstrate that from their effective dynamics the classicalFriedmann equation can be recovered, thus reproducing and generalizing earlier obtained results by other authors.
Ngjarjet e korrikut 1990 dhe përpjekjet e regjimit për ta minimizuar impaktin e tyre politik

description: Koncepti i “armikut” politik ishte një prej tipareve thelbësore të regjimit njëpartiak në Shqipëri (1944-1990). Punimi im analizon konceptin e armikut në aktet e rëndësishme zyrtare, - aktet kushtetuese dhe politike të nxjerra nga Presidiumi i Kuvendit Popullor në periudhën e fundit të regjimit njëpartiak (1990) dhe në periudhën e parë të sistemit pluralist (1991). Punimi mbron tezën e se koncepti i “armikut” është keqpërdorur vazhdimisht si alibi për dështimet dhe pafuqi për ndryshimet, si dhe është një prej treguesve kritikë të dobësisë që shfaqën ndryshimet politike të fundit të vitit 1990 dhe fillimet e pluralizmit politik më 1991. Punimi bazohet në dokumente arkivore, botime profesionale, intervista dhe hulumtime shkencore. Vlera kryesore e punimit nuk është vetëm analiza e konceptit të “armikut” në ligjërimin zyrtar dhe institucional, por edhe përpjekja për të kuptuar defektet në formimin demokratik të shoqërisë dhe vështirësitë e periudhës postkomuniste për tu mësuar me lirinë dhe vlerat e saj.  Fjalë kyçe: koncepti i armikut, armiku i jashtëm, klasat e përmbysura, sistemi i frikës, Shqipëria komuniste

description: Aborto no punible en tres causalesCOIPArt. 150.- Aborto no punible.- El aborto practicado por un médico u otro profesional de la salud capacitado, que cuente con el consentimiento de la mujer o de su cónyuge, pareja, familiares íntimos o su representante legal, cuando ella no se encuentre en posibilidad de prestarlo, no será punible en los siguientes casos:1. Si se ha practicado para evitar un peligro para la vida o salud de la mujer embarazada y si este peligro no puede ser evitado por otros medios.2. Si el embarazo es consecuencia de una violación (Sentencia 34-19IN y acumulados)

Esto quiere decir que en estos casos siempre y cuando se cuente con el consentimiento de la mujer o persona gestante ninguna persona puede ser perseguida penalmente por hacer o hacerse un aborto.

En Ecuador, el aborto además de estar despenalizado, esta legalizado en estos tres casos es decir existe un procedimiento de acceso establecido por ley o norma.1. Ley Orgánica de Salud (art. 29)2. Ley Organica para garantizar el acceso a un aborto por causal violación en caso de mujeres, niñas y adolescentes.3. Guía de Práctica Clinica del aborto Terapeutico4.

description: In this monograph, Dr. Nelson Pahl recounts a therapy session he held with a client suffering from traumatic companion animal loss, while also delving into ancient cultural perspectives toward pet loss and the growing body of research that finds companion animal loss not only should be taken more serious from a societal perspective, but that until it is, those enduring pet loss are at risk for a variety of mental and physical health issues, both in the short-term and the long-term.

Γευσιγνωσία
Ελληνικές ποικιλίες

description: Η ποικιλία της Μαλαγουζιάς χαρακτηρίζεται ως η ποικιλία-πεμπτουσία του σύγχρονου ελληνικού οινικού κόσμου και δείχνει στους οινοπαραγωγούς τον τρόπο να ανακαλύψουν ξανά το δυναμικό τους. Παρά την πεποίθηση ότι είχε εξαφανιστεί τη δεκαετία του ’70, η διαρκής και επίμονη μελέτη κορυφαίων Ελλήνων πανεπιστημιακών και οινολόγων την επανέφεραν σαν ένα σταφύλι παγκόσμιας καλλιέργειας. Παράγει αναγνωρίσιμα, ποιοτικά, ξηρά, λευκά κρασιά και μερικά γλυκά. Στη μελέτη για βελτίωση των ελληνικών ποικιλιών, έχει παίξει πολύ σημαντικό ρόλο και η γευσιγνωσία των οίνων. Από την αρχαία Ελλάδα κιόλας, η γευσιγνωσία ήταν διαδεδομένη και μέχρι σήμερα η εξέλιξή της είναι εμφανής. Σήμερα τα κρασιά κατανέμονται σε κατηγορίες ανάλογα με το οργανοληπτικό τους προφίλ και αξιολογούνται γι’ αυτό. Παράλληλα η γευσιγνωσία δίνει τη δυνατότητα στους οινοπαραγωγούς - οινολόγους να βελτιώσουν τις οινοποιητικές τεχνικές και να διορθώσουν οινικά σφάλματα που γίνονται στη διάρκεια της οινοποίησης. Οι παράγοντες που επηρεάζουν τον οργανοληπτικό χαρακτήρα ενός οίνου ποικίλουν και μπορεί να ξεκινούν από το αμπέλι, μέχρι και τον τρόπο ωρίμανσής. Στην παρούσα μεταπτυχιακή εργασία μελετήθηκαν οι διαφορές των οργανοληπτικών χαρακτηριστικών της Μαλαγουζιάς ανάλογα με τη γεωγραφική περιοχή καλλιέργειας. Για τη μελέτη τόσο του αρωματικού όσο και του γευστικού προφίλ της ποικιλίας οργανώθηκαν οργανοληπτικές δοκιμές πάνω σε 4 διαφορετικά δείγματα της ίδιας ποικιλίας από διαφορετική περιοχή καλλιέργειας. Τα δείγματα προήλθαν απ’ τις περιοχές της Αχαΐας, της Αττικής, της Εύβοιας και της Φλώρινας. Η γευσιγνωσία πραγματοποιήθηκε από εξειδικευμένα άτομα του οινικού χώρου, δοκιμάζοντας τα 4 δείγματα από 3 φορές το καθένα, 3 διαφορετικές μέρες.

description: p { margin-bottom: 0.1in; line-height: 120%; } My original contribution to knowledge is : Any weapon that exhibits intended and/or untended lethal autonomy in targeting and interdiction – does so by way of design and/or recessive flaw(s) in its systems of control – any such weapon is capable of war-fighting and other battle-space interaction in a manner that its Human Commander does not anticipate. A lethal autonomous weapons is therefore independently capable of exhibiting positive or negative recessive norms of targeting in its perceptions of Discrimination between Civilian and Military Objects, Proportionality of Methods and Outcomes, Feasible Precaution before interdiction and its underlying Concepts of Humanity. This marks the completion of an Open PhD ( #openphd ) project done in sui generis form.
