    United Nations S/2021/282 Security Council Distr.: General 22 March 2021 Original: English United Nations Disengagement Observer Force Report of the Secretary-General I. Introduction 1. The present report provides an account of the activities of the United Nations Disengagement Observer Force (UNDOF) for the period from 20 November 2020 to 20 February 2021, pursuant to the mandate set out in Security Council resolution 350 (1974) and extended in subsequent Council resolutions, most recently resolution 2555 (2020). II. Situation in the area of operations and activities of the United Nations Disengagement Observer Force 2. During the reporting period, the ceasefire between Israel and the Syrian Arab Republic was generally maintained, despite several violations of the Agreement on Disengagement between Israeli and Syrian Forces of 1974. The overall security situation in the UNDOF area of operations was volatile, with continued military activity in the areas of separation and limitation, in violation of relevant Security Council resolutions, including resolution 2555 (2020). 3. In employing its best efforts to maintain the ceasefire and ensure that it is scrupulously observed, as prescribed in the Disengagement of Forces Agreement, UNDOF reports all breaches of the ceasefire line that it observes. All incidents of firing across the ceasefire line as well as the crossing of the ceasefire line by individuals, aircraft and drones constitute violations of the Agreement. In its regular interactions with both sides, the leadership of UNDOF continued to call upon the parties to exercise restraint and avoid any activities that might lead to an escalation of the situation between the parties. 4.

The Syrian economy continued to exhibit signs of extreme fragility, including a volatile exchange rate and high inflation, deepening the vulnerabilities of populations across the country. After falling to its lowest recorded rate on the informal market in June, the Syrian pound regained some of its value; however this did not translate into price reductions for basic commodities.

  • Optimization of a Metformin Effervescent Floating Tablet
    ORIGINAL ARTICLES Faculty of Pharmacy1, Arab International University, Ghabaghib, Daraa, Syrian Arab Republic; Institute of Pharmaceutics and Biopharmaceutics2, Martin-Luther-Universität, Halle/Saale, Germany Optimization of a metformin effervescent floating tablet containing hydroxypropylmethylcellulose and stearic acid M. Rajab 1, M. Jouma 1, R. H. Neubert 2, M. Dittgen 1 Received July 10, 2009, accepted August 3, 2009 Mazen Rajab, P.O.BOX: 1401, Damascus, Syria Pharmazie 65: 97–101 (2010) doi: 10.1691/ph.2010.9233 This study optimizes the composition of an effervescent floating tablet (EFT) containing metformin hydrochloride (M) regarding tablet hardness (H), time to dissolve 60% of the embedded drug (t60%), and buoyancy, the floating lag time (FLT). A simplex lattice experimental design has been used comprising different levels of hydroxypropylmethylcellulose (HPMC), stearic acid (SA), sodium bicarbonate (SB) as tablet matrix components, and hardness (H), t60%, FLT as response variables. Two models have been applied to decide which composition will result in Fickian diffusion or in overlapping of two dissolution mechanisms, diffusion and matrix erosion. Three of EFT showed the two dissolution mechanisms but most of EFT showed Fickian diffusion only. Checking the experimental response by a linear, quadratic, special cubic and cubic model using multivariate regression analysis resulted in best fit for the cubic model. Over- laying the results for the cubic model under constraints defined shows the domain of accepted values of response variables. The optimized EFT shall have been included HPMC between 15.6% and 24.2%, SA between 12.8 and 15.6% and SB between 16.1% and 17.5%. The result of this study has been critically evaluated considering analogous EFT described in literature.
