Background: The SeDeM-ODT expert system is designed to assess the suitability of the pharmaceutical ingredients for their conversion into an orodispersible formulation by direct compression. The tool can be utilized to select the most appropriate excipients that improve the compressibility and buccodispersibility of the formulation. Objective: This study aimed to utilize the SeDeM-ODT expert system to evaluate the performance of superdisintegrants and select an appropriate superdisntegrant for Doxylamine Succinate orodispersible formulation. Method: The SeDeM-ODT expert system scrutinized the excipients to develop an orodispersible Doxylamine Succinate formulation. Among the 15 parameters of the tool, some of them were determined through experimental work, while the remaining were calculated through the experimental values of other parameters. The central composite design approach was used for formulation development. The prepared powder blends were compressed using the direct compression method and evaluated for different parameters (hardness, thickness, diameter, friability, weight variation, water absorption ratio, wetting time, and disintegration time). Results: The results of the SeDeM-ODT expert system were correlated with the values obtained by the post-compression tests. The Crospovidone formulation (F7) was found to be an optimized formulation as it disintegrated quickly compared with the other formulations containing other superdisintegtrants. The results perfectly endorsed the SeDeM-ODT expert system evaluation, as Crospovidone showed the highest IGCB value of 6.396. Conclusion: The study observed the effectiveness of the expert system in accurately examining the performance of disintegrating agents. The study observed the effectiveness of the expert system in accurately examining the performance of disintegrating agents. The assessment proved Crospovidone to produce quicker disintegration in Doxylamine Succinate orodispersible formulation. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The Internet is considered to be one of the most important mechanisms for sharing research (Chavkin & Chavkin, 2008), raising questions about the scope and variety of research-based education resources available online. Whereas years ago, the challenge for educators was to find relevant research information for practice, this challenge has shifted to one of sorting through the "infoglut" (Edmunds & Morris, 2000), or the abundance of information claiming to be grounded in research, and being able to judge which resources are most valuable and reliable. Drawing on scholarship that seeks to mobilize evidence between researchers, practitioners, and policymakers (Levin, 2011), this study reports the results of a systematic search of online research-based resources for educators across seven subject areas. Our descriptive typology categorizes 333 products along various dimensions (e.g., producer organization, target audience, country of origin) and demonstrates a surprising variety claiming to be research-informed.

Breast angiosarcoma is an unusual malignancy accounting for approximately 1% of soft tissue sarcomas. It can occur as a primary form without a known precursor or as a secondary form associated with radiotherapy. Adjuvant radiotherapy has a significant role in preventing local recurrence in women treated with conservation therapy for early stage breast carcinoma or multicentric tumors. Postradiation angiosarcoma usually affects the dermis of the breast within the radiation field and may occasionally develop in the breast parenchyma. Compared with the latency of other radiation-associated sarcomas, the latency for breast radiation-associated angiosarcoma is relatively short with a median of 6 years. The risk of developing secondary angiosarcoma does not outweigh the benefit of treatment; therefore, radiation therapy continues to be a mainstay modality in the treatment of breast cancer patients. Early detection is essential because angiosarcomas are associated with a poor prognosis. Wide surgical resection is the standard treatment for these tumors. (Arch Pathol Lab Med. 2016;140:477-481; doi: 10.5858/arpa.2014-0581-RS), Breast angiosarcoma can occur as a primary form without a known precursor and as a secondary form associated with a history of radiation therapy or chronic lymphedema after axillary lymph [...]

Anxiety is a common problem within today’s society – and it targets no specific age. The current study aimed to explore the perception of parents regarding preschool anxiety of their children, the level of anxiety in preschool children and suggests strategies parents may use to help their children cope. A Cross sectional survey design and a standardized Questionnaire, adopted from ‘Spence Child Anxiety Scale”- parent version (SCAS-p; Spence, 1999) was used. The data was analyzed using Mean and standard deviation. The findings reported that physical injury fear is the most common out of al anxiety disorders, separation anxiety ranks second, obsessive compulsive disorder is the third major anxiety disorder, while agoraphobia ranks fourth and social phobia and general anxiety appear to have the lowest mean. Recommendations are that parents may encourage their child to talk about her/his feelings and fears, find a trained therapist and take his/her child to all the therapy appointment and make fr [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Emotional Intelligence (EI) is the ability to monitor one's own and others' feelings and emotions, to discriminates among them and use this information to guide one's thinking and action. EI differs from the conventional concept of intelligence that it is not only the IQ level but it also confines emotions. It makes one to be aware, evaluate and utilize oneself ability to express emotions in right situations at right time. This study is quantitative in nature. The research design is co-relational. In this study researcher found the relationship between EI and Teahers' Effectiveness (TE). Moreover, it assessed which gender is more emotionally stable. Population for this purpose was the education universities and higher education colleges of Mirpur AJK. Sample was selected from population. Data was collected through closed questionnaire. It is concluded that Emotional Intelligence can be cherished in several divisions of our survival and it requires the acquisition of precise emotional capacities and skills. Its worth has been frequently renowned in terms of its part in performance and effectiveness, especially in the workplace.

Teachers occupy a central position for the development of any country. It is moral responsibility of the teachers to do hard work for the sustainability of their country. For doing this great work, the teachers require satisfaction in their jobs. The success and failure mostly depends upon the human resource of the organization. If these human resources are satisfied and well-adjusted in their jobs, then chances for success enhances and vice versa. Instructors usually allocate a big amount of time to the learners and for this reason they leave a significant impact upon the learners and their achievements. This is quantitative survey design study and a survey questionnaire is used to collect data. It is found through the research that internal factors are more influential than external factors. Teachers showed distinct response to some extent on the basis of internal factors. This study will be helpful for the teachers, students, heads of the institutions and officials of the education department to design such policies and procedure which can lead towards the higher level of job satisfaction of teachers of both the public and private sectors and this thing will also make the teaching learning process much more worthy, effective and fruitful.
