Quality assurance and quality control are important parts of pharmaceutical quality management. Quality assurance focuses on preventing defects by ensuring proper development and manufacturing processes, while quality control identifies defects by testing raw materials, in-process samples, and finished products. Both are necessary to ensure pharmaceutical products meet specifications and are safe and effective. Pharmacopeias are official compendia that set standards for identity, purity, quality, and strength of drugs. They define tests and acceptance criteria for pharmaceutical ingredients and products.
Complex-formation reactions are widely used in analytical chemistry. One of the first uses of these reagents was for titrating cations. In addition, many complexes are colored or absorb ultraviolet radiation; the formation of these complexes is often the basis for spectrophotometric determinations. Some complexes are sparingly soluble and can be used in gravimetric analysis. Complexes are also widely used for extracting cations from one solvent to another and for dissolving insoluble precipitates. The most useful complex forming reagents are organic compounds that contain several electron donor groups that form multiple covalent bonds with metal ions.
FORMING COMPLEXES
Most metal ions react with electron-pair donors to form coordination compounds or complexes. The donor species, or ligand is an ion or a molecule that forms a covalent bond with a cation or a neutral metal atom by donating a pair of electrons that are then shared by the two.
The number of covalent bonds that a cation tends to form with electron donors is its coordination number. Typical values for coordination numbers are two, four, and six. The species formed as a result of coordination can be electrically positive, neutral, or negative.
A ligand that has a single donor group, such as ammonia, is called unidentate(single-toothed), whereas one such as glycine, which has two groups available for covalent bonding, is called bidenate. Tridentate, tetradentate, pentadentate, and hexadentate chelating agents are also known.
Another important type of complex, a macrocycle, is formed between a metal ion and a cyclic organic compound. The selectivity of a ligand for one metal ion over another relates to the stability of the complexes formed. The higher the formation constant of a metal-ligand complex, the better the selectivity of the ligand for the metal relative to similar complexes formed with other metals.

The movement of molecules from one phase to another is called partitioning.
If two immiscible phases are placed adjacent to each other, the solute will distribute itself between two immiscible phases until equilibrium is attained; therefore no further transfer of solute occurs.
After the manufacturing of the drug, it is essential that these should be stored properly. The stability of drug during it’s storage depend on so many factor and proper packaging is one of them. The pharmaceutical products are in direct contact with the container and closures. So improper packaging and poor quality of container may lead to deterioration of the product.

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.
The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.

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.

◦ What is the percentage of the stated content of a drug present in a formulation?
◦ Does this formulation contain solely the active ingredient or are additional impurities
present?
◦ What is the stability of a drug in the formulation and hence the shelf–life of the
product?
◦ Do the identity and purity of excipients meet specification?
◦ What are the physical constants like Pka value (s), solubilities, stability etc of a drug

• Self inspection: Self inspection is programme designed to detect
any shortcomings in the implementation of GMP to recommend
necessary corrective actions.
• Release controls: Release controls are the tests performed on
the products that are to be released and distributed to the
commercial marketplace.
• In process controls: This refers to the checks performed during
an activity in order to monitor and if necessary to adjust the
process and/ or to ensure that the intermediate or finished
product confirms to its specifications.
21. It is a collection of concise but detailed information about a drug.
Pharmacopeias and formularies are books of standards for pharmaceuticals and
medical devices containing specifications and procedures of tests.
They are collectively referred as the drug compendia.
Published by the authority of a government or a medical or pharmaceutical society.
The main objective of the compendia:
To control the quality of medicine as pre standard
To ensure the public health
To support the availability of safe, effective, good quality pharmaceutical
care for all
Drug compendia are sub classified as official and non-official
1.2. Drug compendia(collection of facts on a subject)
22. The compendia (cont…)
1. Official compendia
It is a collection of list of drugs and devices which have been recognized as legal
standards of purity, quality and strength that is accepted by some recognized
authority.
Pharmacopeia
It is a book containing a list of medicinal substances, their dosage forms or devices
with descriptions of test methods, specifications for purity and strength accepted by
some recognized authority.
The recognized authority which issue the books of standards in most countries is the
government
In some countries e.g. USA both the national pharmacopoeia and national formularies
are published by a private non profit making organizations
23.
24. The compendia (cont…)
Components and specification requirements of pharmaceutical dosages:
Excipients: therapeutically inactive but have indirect effect on like the rate of
release (dissolution and disintegration) of the medicament.
They should be safe( non toxic), not having any interference with the
therapeutic activity and analytical procedure
Active components: therapeutically active form of a drug.
They should have the highest attainable standard in terms of chemical
purity and biological response
25. The compendia (cont…)

2. Non official compendia
These are secondary reference sources that are not subject to categories of
official compendia. They include treatises, monographs and text books.
Treatise: it is a comprehensive, exhaustive, systematic or critical approach to a
broad topic or whole field of knowledge.
It is generally written for specialist in a given field.
Monograph: is a work of writing upon a single subject, usually by a single author.
It is by definition a single document that forms a complete text in itself
29. The compendia (cont…)
Text books: They concentrate on principle rather than on details of the
last minute (very latest) development in the field.
Martindale (Extrapharmacopeia)- is based on published information
it is not a book of standard hence the inclusion of a substance or
preparation is neither to be considered as a recommendation for use
nor confer any status on substance or preparation.
Its main objectives are to provide practicing pharmacists and
physicians with unbiased evaluated information on drugs and
medicaments (proprietary preparations) used through out the world
30. The compendia (cont…)
Components of pharmacopoeia
a) General notices:
General notices provide the overall guiding principles for using the monographs and general
chapters. It mainly clarifies information provided in the pharmacopoeia to the reader.
EXAMPLES
Tolerances: e.g. Aspirin:-should have not less than 99.5% and not more than 100.5% of
the label claim. Reason for tolerances: -Assay errors
- Basic compounding or manufacturing errors
- Detection of chemical substances
Tests and assays:
About: approximately (fairly correct or accurate; near to the actual value).
Exactly: implies an error of 0.1% in the case of weighing or 0.05ml in a 50.0ml burette
Corresponds: similar or equivalent in character or quantity.
31. The compendia (cont…)
water bath' means a bath of boiling water, unless water at some other
temperature is indicated in the text
Drying to constant weight: means that drying shall be continued until two
consecutive weighing do not differ by more than 0.5mg per gram and weighing
should be 1hr apart.
Blank determination: conducted in exactly same manner as in the assay or test
except that there is no sample.
Indicators: implies usually approximately 0.2ml or 3 drops of indicators
solution
32. The compendia (cont…)
Packaging storage and labeling:
The container should not interact physically or chemically with the
chemical placed in it
The container should be
– Light sensitive container: which does not transmit more than 18% of UV
radiant energy falling up on it.
– Well-closed container: protects contents from extraneous solids and from
loss of drug under ambient conditions.
– Tightly closed container: protects contents from contamination by
extraneous liquids solids or vapors or from loss of drug due to evaporation.
– Tamper –Evident Packing, airtight container, Single–dose container etc
33. The compendia (cont…)

so that they can be used safely.
43. The compendia (cont…)
It is almost impossible to get an absolutely pure material as impurities get
incorporated in to them either during manufacture, purification or storage
The total impurities should be in certain minimal range, i.e. there should be
acceptance criteria for specified impurities.
In general, specification limit not more than 0.1% for any unspecified
impurity should be included.
Limit tests are designed to identify and control small quantities of impurity
which are likely to be present in the substance
44. The compendia (cont…)
