Author: Mohammad Bayan, Published Year: 2021
Indian Journal of Forensic Medicine & Toxicology, 15
Faculty: Pharmacy
Abstract: Oral dosage forms are considered as the most preferred dosage forms to various age groups of patients. However, conventional solid dosage forms (tablets and capsules) have been associated with some issues; such fluctuation in the plasma drug concentration and swallowing difficulty for some patients. This advocates the need for the continuous development and improvement of tablets and capsule to enhance therapeutic efficacy and increase patient acceptance. Mini tablets technology has been developed to minimize these problems. It aims to facilitate oral administration with minimal swallowing difficulty (especially in pediatrics and geriatrics) and deliver a therapeutic agent, selectively and effectively, to be targeted in a certain position in the body. The most benefit of this technique is the ease of production with facilitated control of stability problems. The size and shape uniformity, with smooth surface area, make minitablets attractive to be incorporated with different medications for the efficient treatment of chronic diseases. This overview outlines properties, production requirements, formulation options and evaluation methods of mini tablets
Keywords: Mini Tablets, multiple unit dosage forms, compressed mini tablets.

Research Title: DRUG RELEASE CONTROL AND ENHANCEMENT USING CARRIERS WITH DIFFERENT CONCENTRATIONS OF CAPMUL® MCM C8
Author: Mohammad Bayan, Published Year: 2021
International Journal of Applied Pharmaceutics, 13
Faculty: Pharmacy
Abstract: Objective: The main aim of this study was to design a drug carrier capable to control and enhance the release of poorly water soluble drugs.
Methods: Three polymeric formulations, based on poly (2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate) and loaded with different Capmul® MCM C8 concentrations (0, 10 and 20 % w/w), were prepared. Felodipine, which is a poorly soluble substance, was selected as a model drug. The effect of Capmul® MCM C8 on swelling behavior and in vitro release profile of the prepared polymer was investigated in PBS.
Results: The swelling profiles of allformulationswere statistically similar, which indicated the non-significant effect of added Capmul® MCM C8 on polymer's swelling behavior. All formulations showed a delayed drug release. Formulation-F3, which is loaded with 20% w/wCapmul® MCM C8 displayed a significant higher release compared to the other formulations.
Conclusion: Capmul® MCM products, which are widely used in food industries, can be used to improve the oral delivery of poorly soluble substances. The optimized formulation exhibited the ability to control and enhance the release of the model drug.
Keywords: Capmul® MCM C8, Drug delivery, Free radical polymerization, Bioavailability enhancement

Author: Izzeddien Naef Ananzeh, Published Year: 2016
International Journal of Financial Research, Vol. 7, No. 2
Faculty: Business
Abstract: Despite the growing literatures that examined the relationship between financial developments and growth of any
economy, there is scarceness in the empirical studies that examine the influence of bank credit on economic
performance or growth at secrotal level of any country. Therefore this study came to examine the relationship
between bank credit and economic growth in Jordan at different sectors for the period that span from 1993 to 2014.
We employ two different methodologies Vector Error Correction Model (VECM) and Granger Causality Test,
The results report for a long run relationship could be inferred between Real GDP, and its Explanatory variables of
Total Bank Credit (TBC); Bank Credit for Agriculture sector (CFA); Bank Credit for Industry sector (CFI); Bank
Credit for Construction sector (CFC); Bank Credit for Tourism sector(CFT). So we can suggest that TBC, CFA, CFI,
CFC, and CFT are in the long term relationship with the development of Jordanian economy.
Granger causality test conclude for a causal relationship going from economic growth to bank credit at agriculture
and construction sectors in Jordan economy. Also the results report bidirectional causality observed among economic
development and bank credit to construction sector that is the most important sectors in this economy. Moreover, our
results point out that the efficiency of the bank credit facilities in a major economic sectors has an important role in
the Jordanian economic growth, and shows the needs to enhance the role of financial sector for different economic
sectors by adopting more appropriate macroeconomic policies.

Research Title: التعليم بوصلة التنمية المستدامة
Author: Amani Ghazi Jarrar, Published Year: 2021

Abstract: يسعى كتاب (التعليم بوصلة التنمية المستدامة ) إلى تقديم رؤية مستقبلية من أجل إعادة هندسة التعليم لخدمة بناء المنظومة التربوية على أسس علمية تراعي القيم الإنسانية عند تخيل التعليم لإنتاج شباب حضاري قادر على التغيير الإيجابي المنشود لخدمة المجتمع الإنساني كافة .
ولغايات تحقيق ذلك في عالمنا المعاصر، كان لا بد من البدء بعالمنا العربي الأكثر تراجعا في المجال التربوي التعليمي ، حيث تناول الكتاب أحد عشر فصلا . وخير ما يمكن البدء فيه عمليا وعلميا هو ما عرض في الفصل الأول من حيث مراجعة تاريخ التربية والتعليم في الوطن العربي باعتباره البدايات الواجب الوقوف عليها لتفحص الماضي من أجل نظرة نقدية حقيقية لا تقبل التجميل بل تحاكي الواقع بوضوح لتقييمه بشفافية . ويتناول الفصل الثاني فلسفة التربية والتعليم في القرن الحادي والعشرين باعتبارها الأساس في أي تغيير يجب أن يطاله الباحث الراغب في إعادة البناء للحصول على نتائج أفضل تتخلص من عقد ومشاكل الماضي ونقاط الضعف ،مما يتطلب منا تحليل شامل للمنظومة التربوية. ولأن المعلم أداة التغيير الرئيسية ،كان لابد من تخصيص الفصل الثالث لبحث الابداع وتنمية المعلم ، فلم يعد مقبولا اتباع أدوات وآليات تقليدية ،بل كانت ضرورة تبني استراتيجيات ابداعية من أجل التعليم الجيد .
وقد تم اختيار الفلسفة كمحرك رئيسي للتعليم الجيد ،فقد تناول الفصل الرابع الفلسفة وتنمية التفكير . كما يبين الكتاب ان تعليم الفنون والموسيقى ضرورة وليست ترفا من أجل تنمية الحس الجمالي ،فتناول الفصل الخامس ذلك بشيء من التوضيح . ولأن الشباب هم فرسان التغيير ،ولأن نظرة المجتمع للمرأة تعتبر من أهم القضايا الواجب تغييرها في مجتمعات المعرفة ، فقد خصص الفصل السادس لهذه الغاية .
أما الفصل السابع فقد خصص لبحث كيفية تطوير العقلية الريادية وأهمية إعادة التفكير في قطاع التعليم عموما ، حيث ضرورة الاهتمام بالتربية من أجل التنمية المستدامة بالشكل الأمثل المنشود،وهو مدار بحث الفصل الثامن . كما تناول الفصل التاسع أهمية بناء الانسان الاخلاقي ليتمكن من الانخراط في عالم اليوم باعتباره مواطنا عالميا .
وقد عالج الفصل العاشر إصلاح وإثراء التعليم والمنظومة التربوية بالمجمل ، مما مهد بالتالي الى معالجة الفصل الحادي عشر من حيث إعادة تخيل التعليم في مجتمع المعرفة وفي زمن الأزمات ،فقد آن الأوان لإعادة هندسة التعليم من أجل التنمية المستدامة لتحقق نجاحات منشودة على مستوى الإنسانية .
