Comprehensive Analysis of Oral Squamous Cell Carcinomas: Clinical, Epidemiological, and Histopathological Insights With a Focus on Prognostic Factors and Survival Time

Background and objectives: Oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) is one of the most common malignancies in the head and neck region. Particularly, high incidence rates are observed in South and Southeast Asia, attributed to the widespread use of the carcinogenic areca nut. This study aimed to investigate the clinical, epidemiological, and histopathological features of OSCC, identify prognostic factors impacting disease-free survival, and determine a post-diagnosis disease-free survival time of OSCC patients. Methodology: Employing a descriptive cross-sectional design, the study conducted a thorough examination of the clinical, epidemiological, and histopathological aspects of OSCC among patients seeking care at a tertiary healthcare facility. Participants were personally interviewed if available, while information for unreachable or deceased individuals was extracted from archival patient records in the Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery Department, Bakhtawar Amin Medical and Dental College, Multan, Pakistan. Data analysis was performed with a significance level set at p ≤ 0.05. Results: The mean age of the patients was 54.16 ± 11.1, with a notable concentration in the 41 years and above age group, indicating a significant prevalence of OSCC in this population. The data revealed a gender bias toward males, and a substantial proportion of patients, particularly those aged 41 years and above, had unfortunately passed away. Statistical analysis using the Fisher exact test showed a significant association between age groups and patients' current living status (p-value < 0.05). Conclusion: Histopathologically, moderately differentiated OSCC was the most frequently encountered grade, and surgery emerged as the predominant treatment modality. The majority of patients studied had a survival period of three years or less, emphasizing the need for further exploration of factors influencing prognosis and treatment outcomes in OSCC.
Efficacy of Mucosamin Spray as an Adjunct for Prevention of Oral Mucositis in Children under Chemotherapy: A Two-Center Randomized Clinical Trial

Statement of the Problem: Chemotherapy-induced mucositis is the most common complication during cancer treatment. This complication can lead to pain, increased risk of infection and malnutrition. Therefore, it is important to find a solution to reduce the severity and duration of side effects. Purpose: This study aimed to assess the efficacy of Mucosamin spray as an adjunct for prevention of oral mucositis in children under chemotherapy. Materials and Method: This parallel-design clinical trial evaluated 48 patients aged 5 to 15 years with leukemia and lymphoma presenting to the Hematology Department of Mofid and Mahak Hospitals. The patients were randomly divided into two groups (n=24). Before starting chemotherapy, all patients received oral hygiene instructions (toothbrushing without flossing). Patients in both groups were requested to use a mouthwash composed of nystatin, aluminum-magnesium hydroxide suspension (aluminum MgS), and diphenhydramine for 1 min every morning on a daily basis starting the day before treatment. Patients in the intervention group were also requested to spray their entire oral mucosa with Mucosamin spray 3 times a day in addition to using the mouthwash. Patients were requested to refrain from eating and drinking for 1h after spraying. The patients were clinically examined by a senior dental student once every other day for 20 days regarding the occurrence, severity, and duration of oral mucositis. Data were analyzed using the Chi-square and Mann-Whitney tests, Kaplan-Meier survival analysis, and log rank test. Results: No significant difference was noted between the two groups in the incidence, severity, or time of development of mucositis ( p > 0.05). The 7-day non-recovery percentage was 72.7% (SE= 13.4) and 25.0% (SE= 15.3) in the control and test groups, respectively, indicating shorter duration (faster healing) of mucositis in the intervention group ( p = 0.01). Conclusion: Within the limitations of this study, it seems that prophylactic application of Mucosamin spray can shorten the course of oral mucositis, in case of its occurrence.
Neurobiology of Chakras and Prayer

Spiritual practices such as prayer have been shown to improve health and quality of life for those facing chronic or terminal illness. The early Christian healing tradition distinguished be-tween types of prayer and their role in healing, placing great emphasis on the healing power of more integrated relational forms of prayer such as prayers of gratitude and contemplative prayer. Because autonomic tone is impaired in most disease states, autonomic homeostasis may provide insight into the healing effects of prayer. I report on observations in five volunteers engaging in five types of prayer. Using heart rate variability as a measure of autonomic tone and adaptability, I review the potential correlation of type of prayer with autonomic rebalance as measured specifically by psychophysiological coherence ratios. The five types—supplication, devotion, interces-sion, gratefulness, and contemplative prayer—elicited varying degrees of improvements in heart rate variability and corresponding psycho-physiological coherence. These observations suggest a correlation of innate healing to prayer type that is consistent with teachings from the Christian healing tradition and with modern research. Further research is warranted to verify these hypotheses.
Green human resource management practices and organizational sustainability performance in Pakistan's healthcare sector

The 21st century has witnessed a rapid surge in industrial pollution, accompanied by the depletion of natural resources, prompting a collective call to action. As a result, the greening of corporations and ecological sustainability has emerged as a matter of paramount importance for decision-makers worldwide. This study, thereby, aims to examine the implementation of environmentally responsible (Green) human resource management practices in the health sector and their influence on organizational sustainability performance. Methodologically, a descriptive approach was employed, utilizing a questionnaire survey to collect data from 250 healthcare employees within Pakistan's healthcare sector. The study's statistical outcomes indicate that green hiring positively influences economic performance but not social and environmental performance. However, green training, involvement, performance management, and compensation are all positively related to organizational sustainability performance, encompassing social, economic, and environmental aspects in Pakistan’s healthcare sector. By summing up, this study concludes the significance of customizing green HR practices for enhancing sustainability performance in the healthcare sector. It underscores the crucial role played by green human resource management practices and their impact on organizational sustainability performance in a developing country context, specifically in Pakistan.

Assessing economic effects of foreign aid and capital flows on real economic growth

The study sought to investigate the effect of foreign aid and capital flow on real economic growth for the SADC region. Eleven member states of the SADC region are selected for analysis based on data availability. In the study, foreign aid is represented by official development assistance (ODA), external debt (EXTD), and debt service cost (DSC) while the inflow of foreign direct investment represents capital flow (FDI). Annual percentage growth of per capita Gross Domestic Product (GDPpc) is used as a proxy of real economic growth. Trade balance (TRO) is included in the model regression as a control variable. The study employed panel econometric models. The results of panel ARDL indicate that ODA and FDI were found to have a negligible effect on real growth in the short run but contribute positively and significantly in the long run. This revelation supports the view that ODA and FDI are essential determinants of growth. On the other hand, EXTD together with its associated costs was found to have a detrimental effect both in the short run and long run. Based on the results of the study, the authors put forward the following policy recommendations for the SADC region: most importantly, there ought to be effective management of external debt by SADC countries to reduce their overdependency on external debt for their domestic needs. Given the positive effect of FDI in the region, the SADC region needs to intensify its efforts in devising measures that will attract foreign investors to the region which among others include pursuing inclusive and sustainable economic growth. Lastly, there is a need for effective management and official development aid to ensure sustainable growth.
Integrated use of organic and inorganic fertilizer for sugarcane cultivation in active Tista floodplain soils

An experiment was conducted in the farmers' field of two locations, one at Mahimaganj, Gaibandha and other at Shyampur, Rangpur, under active Tista floodplain (AEZ II) in Bangladesh during 2019-2020 cropping season to know the performance of sugarcane applying organic manure pressmud/poultry litter with inorganic fertilizer. There were eight treatment combinations in the study. The overall results under this study indicated that most of the observed parameters showed significant differences except brix (%) in both locations. Among all treatment combinations, 100% recommended organic fertilizer dose plus pressmud 10 tha-1 was given the highest cane yield (94.13 tha-1 and 83.33 tha-1) and benefit cost ratio (2.26 and 2.00) in both locations. Considering the total cost and economic return, different factors associated with production system and farmers’ liking of sugarcane cultivation might be a profitable package of integrated use of organic manure and inorganic fertilizer for sugarcane cultivation at Active Tista Floodplain soils.
A COMPARATIVE STUDY OF TWO DIFFERENT DOSES OF DEXMEDETOMIDINE ON HAEMODYNAMIC RESPONSES TO INDUCTION OF ANAESTHESIA AND TRACHEAL INTUBATION

: BACKGROUND & AIM: Laryngoscopy & intubation lead to haemodynamic response as tachycardia & hypertension. Dexmedetomidine, α 2 agonist has significance in supressing this haemodynamic response. Aim is to compare two different doses of Dexmedetomidine on haemodynamic response to laryngoscopy and intubation. MATERIALS AND METHODS: This prospective, randomized, double blind study was conducted in GMERS medical college, Gandhinagar. Total 60 patients of ASA Grade I and II, aged 18– 60 years undergoing elective surgeries under general anaesthesia were chosen for the study. The patients were randomly allocated into two groups. Group D 1 (n=30) received Dexmedetomidine 1 µg/kg & group D 5 (n=30) received Dexmedetomidine 0. 5µg/kg in 10ml normal saline over 10min, 10min before induction of anaesthesia. Heart rate, Systolic blood pressure, Diastolic blood pressure, mean arterial pressure & SpO 2 were recorded at different time interval and compared between both groups. RESULTS: Group D 1 showed a significant fall in heart rate, systolic blood pressure, diastolic blood pressure and mean arterial pressure after injecting drug, post intubation & throughout surgeries. Dexmedetomidine 0. 5µg/kg attenuates haemodynamic response of laryngoscopy & intubation but not as effective as Dexmedetomidine 1 µg/kg. CONCLUSION: We conclude that, Dexmedetomidine 1µg/kg is superior to Dexmedetomidine 0. 5µg/kg for attenuation of haemodynamic response of laryngoscopy & intubation.
KIER DISCUSSION PAPER SERIES KYOTO INSTITUTE OF ECONOMIC RESEARCH

This study investigates how ambiguity has driven output and in(cid:13)ation in the U.S. over the past 70 years. We adopt the recently developed techniques that disentangle ambiguity from risk and assess the responses of output and in(cid:13)a-tion to ambiguity shocks. We observe that an increase in ambiguity led to an increase in output during high in(cid:13)ation periods, indicating the ambiguity lover behavior. We also uncover that ambiguity and risk estimated by realized volatility have the opposite impacts on business cycles, which is consistent with the prevailing asset pricing literature
Exploration of science teacher identity construction through various lived experiences

Identity is the construction of interpretations of life experiences in certain contexts, resulting in self-understanding. This research, with a single case study design, aims to explore the identity of science teachers in various contexts of Figured Worlds. The research participant is a science teacher named Yuni (pseudonym), who has a background in Physics Education. Data were collected through two semi-structured interviews. The results revealed how Yuni interpreted science-related life experiences in Figured Worlds to construct her identity. The researchers concluded that although, throughout Yuni's experience, she was not interested in becoming a teacher, she was able to become an outstanding teacher through her scientific papers.
Dissolution et préservation de la silice biogénique dans les sédiments marins

La silice biogenique (BSi) extraite des sediments est utilisee pour retracer la pompe biologique passee de C02. Or l'interpretation des enregistrements sedimentaires est compliquee du fait des fortes variations spatiales de la dissolution et de la preservation de la BSi. Au cours de ce travail, nous avons utilise la technique des reacteurs a flux pour quantifier les proprietes de dissolution de la BSi afin de mieux comprendre la competition dissolution/preservation et de mieux contraindre les modeles diagenetiques de la BSi. Cette technique a ete appliquee sur des echantillons de sediments de differentes regions oceaniques. La solubilite de la BSi in situ montre de fortes variations spatiales, controlees par le rapport % silice detritique / % silice biogenique dans la matrice sedimentaire qui controle l'intensite des reactions diagenetiques. Les proprietes de dissolution de la BSi ont alors ensuite ete quantifiees dans la colonne d'eau, avant son depot a la surface du sediment et l'alteration par les processus diagenetiques. Ces experiences ont mis en evidence l'existence de differentes phases de BSi avec des proprietes de dissolution differentes. Les variations spatiales de la preservation de la BSi dans la matrice sedimentaire peuvent alors etre expliquees par l'existence de ces differentes phases de BSi qui se deposent a la surface du sediment et qui vont etre plus ou moins alterees durant l'enfouissement par trois processus majeurs : la vitesse d'accumulation des sediments, l'intensite de la bioturbation et l'intensite des reactions diagenetiques. Etant donne le nombre de processus qui entrent en jeu pour controler la preservation de la BSi dans les sediments, seule l'approche modelisation pourra permettre d'etudier l'importance relative de ces differents facteurs sur la preservation.
The Bornean orangutan (Pongo pygmaeus wurmbii) density in a logging concession of Hulu Belantikan, Central Kalimantan, Indonesia

Abstract. Sapari I, Perwitasari-Farajallah D, Utami Atmoko SS. 2019. The Bornean orangutan (Pongo pygmaeus wurmbii) density in a logging concession of Hulu Belantikan, Central Kalimantan, Indonesia. Biodiversitas 20: 878-883. The Bornean orangutan is currently categorized as a critically endangered species. It is found in natural forests in Borneo, where about 78% of the total population is found outside protected areas, of which 29% is in logging concessions. This study aimed to analyze the density of the orangutan population and the abundance of fruiting plants in a logging concession and Protection Forest (Hutan Lindung) in the Hulu Belantikan forests in Lamandau District, Central Kalimantan, Indonesia. Research and data collection was conducted between December 2013 to October 2014. Orangutan population density was calculated using line transect methodology based on nest counts. Abundance of fruit plants was calculated using the fruit trail method. The highest orangutan density, 4.8 individuals/km2, was found in Protection Forest; and the lowest density, 0.4 individuals/km2, was in [Sopanan] the 2013 logging block. Observations in the logging area indicated that selective logging could alter the structure and gap of the canopy and reduce the proportion of large trees. Changes in forest structure resulted in negative effects on the density of the orangutan population. The remaining degraded forests can still be a valuable resource for the orangutan. As long as the disturbance is not intensive, orangutans will retain access to the less disturbed forest nearby and to forests that are still connected to primary forests. The existence of Protection Forest and old logged-over forests around logging blocks are very important for conservation, providing refugia for orangutans and other species when logging occurs.
Spatially Resolved Observations of Meteor Radio Afterglows With the OVRO‐LWA

We conducted an all‐sky imaging transient search with the Owens Valley Radio Observatory Long Wavelength Array (OVRO‐LWA) data collected during the Perseid meteor shower in 2018. The data collection during the meteor shower was motivated to conduct a search for intrinsic radio emission from meteors below 60 MHz known as the meteor radio afterglows (MRAs). The data collected were calibrated and imaged using the core array to obtain lower angular resolution images of the sky. These images were input to a pre‐existing LWA transient search pipeline to search for MRAs as well as cosmic radio transients. This search detected 5 MRAs and did not find any cosmic transients. We further conducted peeling of bright sources, near‐field correction, visibility differencing and higher angular resolution imaging using the full array for these 5 MRAs. These higher angular resolution images were used to study their plasma emission structures and monitor their evolution as a function of frequency and time. With higher angular resolution imaging, we resolved the radio emission size scales to less than 1 km physical size at 100 km heights. The spectral index mapping of one of the long duration event showed signs of diffusion of plasma within the meteor trails. The unpolarized emission from the resolved radio components suggest resonant transition radiation as the possible radiation mechanism of MRAs.
The reasons for enormous accumulation of the geodynamic tension in Eastern Turkey: a multidisciplinary study

The catastrophic earthquakes in Eastern Turkey (Eastern Mediterranean) require their geodynamic understanding. The two most decisive events with magnitudes of 7.95 and 7.86 on 06.02. 2023, followed by a series of more than 10,000 significant aftershocks. These tragic events led to the death of more than 60 thousand people. The above values indicate the colossal tension created in the Earth's crust. The region where these strongest earthquakes occurred is a complex junction zone of four tectonic plates: Eurasian, Arabian, African, and Anatolian. The joint movement of these plates (consisting, in turn, of tectonic elements of different ages) occurs at an average rate of 6–18 mm per year. After two marked powerful shocks and a series of aftershocks, some sectors of the Anatolian plate shifted to the southwest by more than 11 meters. Our recent publications indicated the presence of a giant, rotating quasi-ring structure below the Easternmost Mediterranean. This research contains significant newly obtained data. The quantitative analysis of the sat-ellite-derived gravity data indicates the lower mantle occurrence of the anomalous target. Examination of the geoid anomalies map also testifies to the deep origin of this structure. The regional seismic tomography data confirm the presence of anomalous zones at a depth of 1500-1700 km. The GPS vector map and the comprehensive review of paleomagnetic data display the counterclockwise rotation of this structure. Analysis of the recently constructed magnetic field Δ Z pattern commonly proves the presence of this quasi-ring structure. The newly developed paleobiogeographic map is consistent with the proposed physical–geological model. A widespread analysis of tectonic, petrological, and mineralogical data implies a connection between the discovered deep structure and near-surface processes. A crucial for understanding the nature of the considered seismic stress is its location near the expressed bend of the Mesozoic terrane belt, where the Arabian Plate is deeply intruded into the Alpine-Himalayan belt. Thus, the rotation of this giant deep structure may accumulate the stress effect retrieved from the satellite, airborne, and surface geophysical observations. We propose that this stress, along with the known Earth’s crust seismological activity in this region, is the causative reason for the catastrophic geodynamic events in Eastern Turkey.
Greening university practices: empowering eco-conscious behavior, transforming sustainable culture, and shaping greener institutional awareness through strategic green HRM initiatives

Green human resource management practices are widely accepted and are essential for encouraging sustainable behavior in organizations. We aimed to ascertain the relationship between employees' eco-friendly behavior and Green HRM practices by employing environmental awareness as a mediator. we analyzed and tested the suggested model Employing the PLS-SEM method through SmartPLS 4. The current study employed a quantitative research approach to collect data from 346 actual respondents. From six major public universities in Afghanistan, these participants were selected randomly. Based on the investigation, it was shown that green recruitment and selection, green training and development, green performance management, and green reward and compensation possessed a positive impact on employees' eco-friendly behavior. Additionally, environmental awareness promotes eco-friendly conduct among the staff. The research provides updated outcomes showing that, through the partially moderating impacts of environmental awareness, green HRM practices in Afghanistan's public universities both directly and indirectly influence employees' eco-friendly behavior. The current study is noteworthy since it provides fresh insights into green HRM. Additionally, by examining these relationships and assessing the mediation effects, this work adds to the amount of literature already accessible on environmentally friendly behaviors. Furthermore, current research makes a practical contribution to public universities by suggesting guidelines on how to increase academicians' awareness of green HRM practices, enhance eco-friendly behavior at work, and develop environmentally friendly behavior.
