Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.
2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.
How to Create Map Views in the Odoo 17 ERPCeline George
The map views are useful for providing a geographical representation of data. They allow users to visualize and analyze the data in a more intuitive manner.
The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

This is a presentation by Dada Robert in a Your Skill Boost masterclass organised by the Excellence Foundation for South Sudan (EFSS) on Saturday, the 25th and Sunday, the 26th of May 2024.
He discussed the concept of quality improvement, emphasizing its applicability to various aspects of life, including personal, project, and program improvements. He defined quality as doing the right thing at the right time in the right way to achieve the best possible results and discussed the concept of the "gap" between what we know and what we do, and how this gap represents the areas we need to improve. He explained the scientific approach to quality improvement, which involves systematic performance analysis, testing and learning, and implementing change ideas. He also highlighted the importance of client focus and a team approach to quality improvement.

3. Introduction
• Ophthalmic preparations are sterile dosage forms, essentially free from foreign particles,
suitably compounded and packed for instillation into the eye. Ophthalmic preparation can be
in the form of aqueous or oily solution, suspension, ointment, gel, and certain solid dosage
form.
4. Anatomy & physiology of eye
Human eye
Diameter 23 mm
Consist 3 layers-
Outermost coat: the
clear, transparent cornea
ansd the white, opaque
sclera.
Middle layer: The iris
anteriorly , the choroid
posteriorly and ciliary
body at the intermediate
part
Inner layer: retina (
ectension of CNS)
6. Optimum characters of ophthalmic
drug delivery system
Prolong contact time with corneal tissue.
Simplicity of instillation for the patient.
Non irritative and comfortable form.
Appropriate rheological properties and
concentrations of the viscous system.
Not require dosing above 1-2 times a
day

8. MECHANISM OF OCULAR
ABSORPTION
Non- corneal absorption:
Penetration across sclera & conjunctiva into intra ocular
tissues.
Non productive: because penetrated drug is absorbed by
general circulation.
Corneal absorption:
Outer epithelium: rate limiting barrier, with pore size 60a,
only access to small ionic and lipophilic molecules.
Trans cellular transport: transport between corneal
epithelium and stroma.

Elimination
10. Barriers to ocular drug delivery
1. Drug loss from the ocular surface
After instillation, the flow of lacrimal fluid removes instilled compounds from the surface
of the eye. Even though the lacrimal turn over rate is only about 1 μl/min the excess
volume of the instilled fluid is flown to the nasolacrimal duct rapidly in a couple of
minutes.
2. Lacrimal fluid-eye barriers
Corneal epithelium limits drug absorption from the lacrimal fluid into the eye. The
corneal epithelial cells form tight junctions that limit the paracellular drug permeation.
Therefore, lipophilic drugs have typically at least an order of magnitude higher
permeability in the cornea than the hydrophilic drugs. In general, the conjunctiva is
leakier epithelium than the cornea and its surface area is also nearly 20 times greater
than that of the cornea.
3. Blood-ocular barriers
The eye is protected from the xenobiotics in the blood stream by blood-ocular barriers.
These barriers have two parts: blood-aqueous barrier and blood-retina barrier. The anterior
blood-eye barrier is composed of the endothelial cells in the uvea. This barrier prevents the
access of plasma albumin into the aqueous humour, and also limits the access of
hydrophilic drugs from plasma into the aqueous humour. The posterior barrier between
blood stream and eye is comprised of retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) and the tight walls
of retinal capillaries.
11. Factors affecting intraocular bioavailability
1. Inflow & outflow of lacrimal fluids.
2. Efficient nasolacrimal drainage.
3. Interaction of drug with proteins of lacrimal
fluid.
4. dilution with tears.
5. Corneal barriers.
6. Active ion transport at cornea.
12. Fate of formulation administered through eye
• The general process of
absorption into the eye from the
precorneal area (dose site)
following topical ocular
administration is quite
complex.
• The classical sequence of
events involves drug
instillation, dilution in tear
fluid, diffusion through mucin
layer, corneal penetration
(epithelium, stroma,
endothelium), and transfer
from cornea to aqueous
humour. Following absorption,
drug distributes to the site of
action e.g., iris-ciliary body.
13. Enhancement of bioavailability
1. Increase in viscosity of formulation leads to decrease in drainage.
2. Slows elimination rate from the precorneal area and enhance contact time.
3. Generally hydrophilic polymers, eg. Methyl cellulose, polyvinyl alcohols,
polyacrylic acids, sodium carboxy methyl cellulose,carbomer are used.
4. A minimum viscosity of 20 cp is needed for optimum corneal absorption.
Use of penetration enhancers
1. Substances which increases the permeability characteristics of the cornea by
modifying the integrity of corneal epithelium are known as penetration enhancers.
2. Act by increasing corneal uptake by modifying the integrity of the corneal
epithelium.
14. Formulation consideration in ophthalmic dosage
forms
➢ Sterility : It is done by steam sterilization, dry sterilization, gas sterilization,
sterlized by ionizing radiation, filtration.
➢ Preservatives: Quaternary ammonium compounds, organic mercurials, Parahydroxy
benzoates, Chlorobutanol.
➢ Clarity:The official definition of ophthalmic solutions requires that they be free of
particulate matter. Particle size greater than 50 µm is not allowed.
➢ Stability: depends upon the chemical nature of the active ingredient, pH
manufacturing procedure, type of additives, and type of container.
➢ pH adjustment and buffers:The tear fluid pH is reported to be vary between 6.9
and 7.5.
➢ Tonicity: Sodium chloride hypertonic ophthalmic (for the eyes) is used to reduce
swelling of the cornea (the front surface of your eye) caused by surgery, infection,
trauma, or other eye conditions.
• Viscosity modifiers: Polyvinyl alcohol, methylcellulose, hydroxypropyl
methylcellulose, hydroxyethylcellulose, and carbomers.
➢ Additives
➢Stabilizers: Epinephrine hydrochloride, Epinephrine borate,sodium bisulphate
or metabisulfite is commonly added up to a 0.3% concentration.
➢Surfactant: several nonionic surfactants are used. Those principally used are
the sorbitan ether esters ofoleic acid ( polysorbate or tween 20 and 80 ).
15. Evaluation tests
• Evaluation of the ophthalmic product is
done by following tests:
1. Sterility Test
2. Clarity Test
3. Leakage Test
4. Metal particles in ophthalmic ointment
