Languange Learning Adapatation Model In The Era of Society 5.0
This article aims to explain the adaptation model of language learning in the 5.0 society era. The method used is descriptive qualitative. The data used a library study on various studies of Language learning in the 5.0 era of society. The data were then identified and analyzed to build an understanding of the adaptation model of language learning in the 5.0 era as a form of response to future learning. The results of this study indicate that the adaptation model of Language learning to the era of society 5.0 is closely related to mastery of the field of Language which is integrated with mastery of the latest Information Technology, and mastery of 21st-century skills, namely creative thinking, critical thinking and problem solving, communication, and collaboration. However, the adaptation process and its results are largely determined by the ability of lecturers, students, and supporting facilities and infrastructure so that they can run well
Co-induced nano-structures on Si(111) surface
The interaction of cobalt atoms with silicon (111) surface has been
investigated by means of scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) and low-energy
electron diffraction (LEED). Besides the Co silicide islands, we have
successfully distinguished two inequivalent Co-induced
reconstructions on Si (111) surface. Our
high-resolution STM images provide some structural properties of the two
different derived phases. Both of the two phases
seem to form islands with single domain. The new findings will help us to
understand the early stage of Co silicide formations.Comment: 4pages 4figure
Structural, elastic, and electronic properties of newly discovered Li2PtSi3 superconductor: Effect of transition metals
First-principles calculations within the density functional theory (DFT) with
GGA-PBE exchange-correlation scheme have been employed to predict the
structural, the elastic and the electronic properties of newly discovered
lithium silicide superconductor, Li2PtSi3, for the first time. All the
theoretical results are compared with those calculated recently for
isostructural Li2IrSi3. The present study sheds light on the effect of
replacement of transition metal element Ir with Pt on different mechanical,
electronic, and superconducting properties. The effect of spin-orbit coupling
on electronic band structure was found to be insignificant for Li2PtSi3. The
difference in superconducting transition temperatures of Li2PtSi3 and Li2IrSi3
arises primarily due to the difference in electronic energy density of states
at the Fermi level. Somewhat reduced Debye temperature in Li2PtSi3 plays a
minor role. We have discussed the implications of the theoretical results in
details in this study.Comment: Submitted for publicatio
STUDY OF ANALGESIC AND ANTIDIARRHOEAL ACTIVITIES OF Sonneratia caseolaris (LINN.) LEAF AND STEM USING DIFFERENT SOLVENT SYSTEM.
The different fractions of crude ethanol extract of leaf and stem of S. caseolaris (Linn.) (Sonneratiaceae) were screened for its analgesic and antidiarrhoeal activities. The different fraction of crude extract was obtained by using four different solvent systems. The different fractions of crude extract produced significant writhing inhibition in acetic acid induced writhing in mice at dose of 250 and 500mg/kg BW comparable to the standard drug diclofenac sodium at the dose of 25mg/kg BW. When tested for its antidiarrhoeal effects on castor oil induced diarrhea in mice, it increased mean latent period and decreased the frequency of defecation significantly at the dose of 250 and 500mg/kg BW comparable to the standard drug loperamide at the dose of 50mg/kg BW. The overall results tend to suggest the analgesic and antidiarrhoeal activities of the different fractions of crude extract. Both ethyl acetate fraction of stem and chloroform fraction of leaf have significant analgesic activity. Again between the two fractions of crude ethanol extract ethyl acetate fraction of S.caseolaris stem have most significant antidiarrhoeal activity.Key words: analgesic, antidiarrhoeal, S.caseolaris, diclofenac sodium, loperamide
CNS DEPRESSION POTENTIAL EVALUATION, FORMULATION AND CHARACTERIZATION OF LYOPHILIZED HERBAL ORAL CAKE OF TERMINALIA CHEBULA FRUITS
Objective: Terminalia chebula fruits are used as traditional herbal medicine from the ancient era but still now, the extract has not revealed any research data on CNS depression activity as well as its lyophilized herbal formulation. The present study was designed to evaluate CNS depression activity and develop lyophilized oral cake of Terminalia chebula fruit extract.
Methods: CNS depression potential of Terminalia chebula fruit was examined using the hole board, hole cross, and thiopental sodium induced sleeping time test. The human equivalent dose was calculated based on US FDA guidelines of dose conversion between animals and humans. A novel lyophilized herbal oral cake of aqueous extract of Terminalia chebula fruits with additives was then formulated. The formulated cake was subjected to characterize its physicochemical properties such as appearance, residual humidity, drug content, dissolution, and drug release profile, extract-polymer compatibility by Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) and stability. The prepared cake was further evaluated with the hole board and hole cross model in mice and compared with control to ensure its CNS depression activity.
Results: Crude extract at the doses of 100, 150, 200, and 400 mg/kg body weight showed significant (p<0.01) dose-dependent inhibition of locomotor behavior. Crude extract dose of 200 mg/kg body weight in mice compared with standard diazepam dose (1 mg/kg) was used to calculate the human equivalent dose of 1000 mg/60 kg. The formulation presented a rapid drug release profile while drug content was approximately 99.5%. FTIR spectroscopy of formulation showed no drug-excipient interaction. The oral cake at the dose of 200 mg/kg body weight showed significant (p<0.01) CNS depression activity.
Conclusion: CNS depression activity, FTIR, and stability analysis ensure the preservation of active ingredients in the lyophilized oral cake as in the crude extract
An Update of Lectins from Marine Organisms: Characterization, Extraction Methodology, and Potential Biofunctional Applications
Lectins are a unique group of nonimmune carbohydrate-binding proteins or glycopro-teins that exhibit specific and reversible carbohydrate-binding activity in a non-catalytic manner. Lectins have diverse sources and are classified according to their origins, such as plant lectins, animal lectins, and fish lectins. Marine organisms including fish, crustaceans, and mollusks produce a myriad of lectins, including rhamnose binding lectins (RBL), fucose-binding lectins (FTL), mannose-binding lectin, galectins, galactose binding lectins, and C-type lectins. The widely used method of extracting lectins from marine samples is a simple two-step process employing a polar salt solution and purification by column chromatography. Lectins exert several immunomodulatory functions, including pathogen recognition, inflammatory reactions, participating in various hemocyte functions (e.g., agglutination), phagocytic reactions, among others. Lectins can also control cell prolifer-ation, protein folding, RNA splicing, and trafficking of molecules. Due to their reported biological and pharmaceutical activities, lectins have attracted the attention of scientists and industries (i.e., food, biomedical, and pharmaceutical industries). Therefore, this review aims to update current information on lectins from marine organisms, their characterization, extraction, and biofunctionali-ties. © 2022 by the authors.
