QUALIFICATION OF UV-VISIBLE SPECTROPHOTOMETER, FTIR, DSC, HPLCAnupriyaNR
Analytical method qualification consists of a simplified evaluation of a subset of validation characteristics with a goal to demonstrate that an analytical method is scientifically sound and suitable for its intended use. In contrast to validation, analytical method qualification is performed without predefined acceptability criteria. Qualification may be performed as a prerequisite to method validation, or when an assay for product knowledge has not yet been established as a test for a critical product quality attribute. Qualification of equipment is pre-requisite for validation of the process in which the equipment is being used. Many types of equipment have measuring devices on them. Calibration of measuring devices is a part of qualification. Calibration of measuring devices is important, as the data is often collected through them. If the data collected is not from measuring devices that have been calibrated, the data cannot be relied upon. Thus the whole validation exercise can be questioned.

A comprehensive interpretation of pellets based on their definitions, advantages, disadvantages, mechanism of pellet formation and growth, pelletization techniques, formulation requirements, and the equipment system for manufacture of pellets.
In the manufacture of pharmaceuticals, encapsulation refers to a range of dosage forms—techniques used to enclose medicines—in a relatively stable shell known as a capsule, allowing them to, for example, be taken orally or be used as suppositories. The two main types of capsules are:
Hard-shelled capsules, which contain dry, powdered ingredients or miniature pellets made by e.g. processes of extrusion or spheronization. These are made in two halves: a smaller-diameter “body” that is filled and then sealed using a larger-diameter “cap”.
Soft-shelled capsules, primarily used for oils and for active ingredients that are dissolved or suspended in oil.
The presentation deals with a detailed study of soft gelatin capsules. this involves the production of soft gelatin capsule based on the importance of base adsorption factor and minim/gram factor. also quality control studies was also elaborated.

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.

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

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.
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.

Pharmaceutical Complaints
1. UNIT IV
Ms. TENY SARA THOMAS
MOUNT ZION COLLEGE OF PHARMACEUTICAL SCIENCES AND
RESEARCH, ADOOR, KERALA
ASSISTANT PROFESSOR
B.PHARM SIXTH SEMESTER
PHARMACEUTICAL QUALITY ASSURANCE
2. COMPLAINTS
• Despite all the precautions taken, some
problems may occur in a given drug
product.
• The customer finds the faults in the
product.
• And the dissatisfaction is conveyed in the
form of a COMPLAINT.
• Complaints are then investigated and
corrective actions are taken.
3. DEFINITION
• Complaint is defined as statement that is
something wrong or not good enough,
which shows customer dissatisfaction
about the company and the product.
• Example: complaining about the drug
product or the packaging materials etc.
• All complaints concerning defective
products should be carefully reviewed
according to written procedures.
4. NEED FOR COMPLAINT HANDLING
• Gives the company an opportunity to improve
the quality of the product.
• Helpful to maintain cGMP.
• Maintains committed relationship between the
customer and company.
• Reduce costs and improve production
schedules.
• Reduce employee confusion.
• Improve safety and performance of devices.
5. CLASSIFICATION OF COMPLAINTS
A. CRITICAL COMPLAINTS
• Individual defects which can be critical and require the
company to take in need of attention action by all
reasonable resources, whether in and out of company
hours.
Example: microbial contamination of a sterile product.
B. MAJOR COMPLAINTS
• These complaints will possibly put the patient at a little
hazard but are not life threatening and will require
product recall within a few days.
example: any labelling/leaflet misinformation.
C. MINOR DEFECTS
• Complaints which present only a significant risk to patient.
Example: readily visible inaccessible packaging/closure faults.
6. STEPS TO HANDLE COMPLAINTS
Good Complaint Handling Procedure are
implemented by steps which are divide into
four.
1. Receiving Complaints
2. Technical Investigation
3. Corrective and Preventive Actions(CAPA)
/ Feedback to Customers.
4. Trend Analysis / Monthly Reports
7. RECEIVING COMPLAINTS
• Complaints must provide open channels
through which customers can arise their
complaints
• The company must appoint a person who
will be responsible for receiving the
complaint, and documenting it as per
company requirements.
• The most flexible channels are toll-free
numbers and chat-rooms.
9. TECHNICAL INVESTIGATION
Once the complaint has been received, a
complaint investigation form should be
prepared with the following information:-
• Name and contact details of complainant.
• Details of the drug product on which
complaint has been raised – product name,
manufacturing batch number, lot number,
manufacture and expiry dates, quantity of
product where problem is seen
• Details of the nature of complaint – what
exactly is wrong and has been complained
about.
10. Product complaint data sheet details include:-
• Serial number of complaint
• Complaint details
• Name and address of the complainant.
• Date of receiving the complaint
• Name of the person who received the complaint.
• Details of the product – name, strength, batch number
• Size of sample obtained from the complainant.
• Complaint evaluation report.
• Name and sign of the investigators with date.
• Action taken report
• Copy of written response sent to complainant.
11. • All this information is sent to the Quality
Assurance department to start investigation. A
QA officer is appointed as Complaint Officer
to oversee the next stages.
• Two phases of investigation will follow:-
1. Document Based investigation
2. Laboratory Analysis
12. DOCUMENT BASED INVESTIGATION
This involves review of :-
• Complaint files to see how many previous
complaints of a similar nature have occurred,
and how the complaints were handled.
• Batch manufacturing and packaging records
to check for any incidents of non-
conformance during that particular batch’s
processing.
13. LABORATORY ANALYSIS
• This phase involves analysis by the Quality
Control laboratory. The samples received
with the complaint as well as the samples
that have been retained by the manufacturer
must be tested and the results are
documented.
The Complaint Officer compares the results of
the laboratory analysis and the document
based investigation and prepares a report that
may result in one of the conclusions:-
• Confirmed complaint
• Non – Confirmed complaint
• Counterfeit/ Tamper Suspicion
14. • Confirmed Complaint – when out of specification
(OOS) results are seen in both complaint and
retained or in only complaint samples. For e.g. if
both samples of tablets showed discolouration, o one
tablet is missing from blister pack.
• Non Confirmed Complaint – when both retained and
complaint samples test results comply with
specifications, or if complaint samples show OOS
results. For e.g. tablets in complaint sample are
discoloured but not in retained samples.
• Counterfeit/ tamper suspicion – when retained
sample meets specifications but complaint samples
are OOS, with no possible reason to explain the
deviation. For e.g. if packing material of complaint
sample is different from the retained – counterfeit
drug. Or if colour of complaint sample is totally
different from retained – tampered drug.
15. The Complaint Officer investigates if the
complaint involves any unexpected or
serious adverse drug reaction.
After complaint of investigation,
generally within 30 days of receiving the
complaint, the report is prepared and
signed by Complaint Officer and QA
manager.
the complaint file must be maintained for
at least 1 year following the expiry date of
the productive batch.

to evaluate the amount and the nature of
complaints received and to perform a trend
analysis of these complaints.
• The monthly report must answer the
following:-
How many complaints did the company
receive in the period?
How many were confirmed, nonconfirmed
or counterfeit/tamper suspicion?
20. • Graphic methods of displaying data are important
adjuncts to data analysis and presentation.
• The report must be readily available mainly during
