The current study was aimed to develop stable and reproducible liposomal formulations of Diclofenac sodium (DFS) and Diclofenac potassium (DFP) using purified soya lecithin (PSL) and purified egg lecithin (PEL) for oral delivery. For the accomplishment of analysis task of DFS and DFP in In-vitro/In-vivo evaluation as well as for entrapment studies, two simultaneous methods were developed and validated. In one study for analysis of DFS, an isocratic system was employed for the flow of mobile phase consisting of 10 mM sodium dihydrogen phosphate buffer and acetonitrile in molar ratio of 67: 33 with adjusted pH of 3.2. The stationary phase was hypersil ODS column (C18, 250×4.6 mm i.d., 5 μm) with controlled temperature of 30 ̊C. DFS in liposomes, microcapsules and marketed drug products was determined in range of 99.76-99.84%. FLP and TMD in microcapsules and brands formulation were 99.78 - 99.94 % and 99.80 - 99.82 %, respectively. Single step liquid-liquid extraction procedure using combination of acetonitrile and trichloroacetic acid (TCA) as protein precipitating agent was employed. The detection limits (at S/N ratio 3) of quality control solutions and plasma samples were 10, 20, and 20 ng.mL-1 for DFS, FLP and TMD, respectively. The Assay was acceptable in linear dynamic range. All other validation parameters were found in limits of FDA and ICH method validation guidelines. The proposed method for DFS analysis was found as sensitive, accurate and precise and applied for dissolution studies as well as in human plasma samples for bioequivalence and pharmacokinetics studies. For analysis of DFP, a new, easy and consistent reversed-phase high- performance liquid chromatographic method with diode array detection was developed and validated for DFP and MLX (Meloxicam. The optimized mobile phase was used in the molar ratio of 20:20:60 (v/v/v) mixture of acetonitrile, methanol and 20 x 10-3 M potassium dihydrogen phosphate buffer (pH 3.7), pumped at an optimized flow rate of 1.0 mL.min-1. The linearity was performed in the concentration range of 15 ng.mL−1 to 10μg.mL-1 with r2 values of 0.9989 ± 0.13 and 0.9979 ± 0.11 (n = 6) for DP and MLX, respectively. The assay was repeatable at concentration levels of 10 ng.mL-1, 1 μg.mL-1 and 10 μg.mL-1 with coefficient of variation of 0.168 - 0.603% for 10 ng.mL-1 (DP), 15 ng.mL-1 (MLX) and 1 μg.mL-1 &10 μg.mL-1 for DP and MLX. The LOD values were 0.3 and 0.5 ng.mL−1, while values of LOQ were 10 ng.mL-1 and 15 ng.mL-1, for DP and MLX. The present method was applied in advanced drug delivery formulations (Liposomes), In-vitro and In-vivo studies. An important part of study was development of an optimized liposomal formulation of diclofenac sodium (DFS) of most suitable concentration of formulating ingredients, soya lecithin (SL) and Cholesterol (CH) with maximum entrapment efficiency. For this purpose, response surface methodology (RSM) was used to optimize formulation variable. Cholesterol was selected as independent variable 1 and designated as X1 while soya lecithin was independent variable 2 designated as X2. The response was the entrapment of drug and designated as dependent variable Y. The two formulation ingredients were ranged with central composite rotatable design (CCD) and quadratic model at five levels (α=1.267) was followed for blending the liposomal formulation. It was observed that cholesterol (variable 1) may decrease the entrapment of DFS in the order of increasing concentration while soya lecithin (variable 2) was found to increase entrapment (dependant variable, Y) with increasing concentration. The central composite design has resulted in an optimized formulation (Formulation No. 9) with an optimum concentration of cholesterol and soya lecithin (ratio of 25:75) with maximum of entrapment of 82.56%. The study was also extended to compare different methods employed for the preparation of liposomes using optimized formulation by RSM. It was concluded that formulation prepared by micro- emulsification evaporation (MEE) followed by freeze drying method showed maximum entrapment of DFS. A comprehensive study was conducted for development of liposomal formulations of DFS and DFP with variable concentrations of purified soya lecithin (PSL) and purified egg lecithin (PEL) employing micro-emulsification evaporation method (MEE) followed by freeze drying. The prepared liposomes were free flowing and of uniform particle size distribution in the rage of 1.01 ± 0.011 to 1.80 ± 0.008 μm for DFS liposomal formulations while the mean size of (mean ± SEM) 1.94 ± 0.008 μm for diclofenac potassium (DFP). The selected liposomal formulations of DFS and DFP were also characterized by using scanning electron microscopic studies (SEM), differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), x-ray diffractometry (XRD) and fourier transform infra-red spectroscopy (FT-IR). Drug entrapment efficiency was above 82%. The entrapping efficiency and in-vitro release of DFS and DFP of all liposomal formulations were determined by reversed phase high-performance liquid chromatography (RP-HPLC). Different kinetics models of in-vitro were applied and release of DFS and DFP from liposomal formulations of DFS and DFP and it was concluded that release followed higuchi model and relatively zero order release, calculated on the basis of r2 value of straight line fit equation. A sustained release was observed for 16-24 hours from all range of liposomal formulations. The selected formulations after similarity factor (f-2) were subjected to in-vivo evaluation in eighteen healthy human subjects. Present study results in new formulation of DFS and DFP using PSL and PSL for oral delivery, which was found stable, reproducible and sustained release by using modified micro-emulsification evaporation method (MEE) followed by freeze drying which was found a probable and better to produce liposomes for oral drug delivery system (ODDS).

A Low-Cost Socio-Culturally Situated Mental Health Intervention for the Well-Being of Pakistani Young Women: A Reflective Narrative

The paper sets out to briefly discuss mental health challenges faced by Pakistani young women, and brings out an innovative solution through a multidisciplinary approach, i.e, socio-culturally situated low-cost digital intervention. The paper begins with an overview of mental health issues. It then sheds light on the scope of open education and innovation in Pakistan. Finally, through a reflective narrative approach, I have explored my personal journey of becoming a networked practitioner, and how an open educational website emerged to intersect the needs of Pakistani young women. Data is gathered from 137 reflective diary entries and analyzed through narrative analysis approach. Digital literacy and open networking practices have shaped my digital identity and allowed me to embrace open scholarship. Networking and collaboration have helped me filtering Open Educational Resources (OERs). Further, collaborative activities encouraged participants to become the co-producers of resource development. Overall, an adaptation of low-cost technology has potentially helped participants to reflect and embrace their personal identities.

Studying Principal’S Practices of Encouraging Students’ Active Participation in the Management of a Private Secondary School in Gilgit-Baltistan

There is a growing recognition that students' active participation in school management is useful not only for students' own learning and development but also for promoting democratic values, shared leadership, and participatory decision making in schools. As students are an important part of the school, their voices must be heard and taken into account while making decisions about curricular and co-curricular activities as well as other administrative and strategic matters of the school. It is also important to recognize that by actively participating in school management, students develop leadership skills such as self-confidence, critical thinking, making informed judgments, taking decisions, and effective communication skills. However, experience and research insights from around the world show that students' active participation in school management depends largely on the principal's approach to school management. The principal, being the head of the school, can employ strategies, actions, and practices that will encourage and foster students' active roles in, and contributions to, the school management. However, not much is known, especially in the context of Gilgit-Baltistan GB), of principals' practices of encouraging students' active participation in school management. Therefore, this study was conducted to explore how the principal of a private secondary school in GB facilitates students' active participation in the management of the school. Using qualitative research method, an eclectic set of tools including semi-structured interviews, focused group discussions, observations, and document analysis, was used to generate and collect data. The findings of the study identify a number of innovative and contextually relevant strategies used by the principal for increasing students' active and meaningful participation in school management. The study also identified that the principal has a very positive attitude towards students' participation, as he sees students as leaders, major stakeholders, and helping hands in school and community the school serves. The principal has also created certain structures such as committees, clubs, and other bodies led or represented by students. However, the hierarchical structure of the organization often constrains the principal from involving students in key strategic decisions of the school. Therefore, there exists a gap between the decisions taken by higher authorities and the aspirations of the teachers, parents, communities, and students at the school. It is recommended that the principal is empowered and given the autonomy and authority to ensure active participation of students in school management.
