Published: May 2024

This article aims to analyse a consumer protection in cosmetic products that are not registered with Food and Drug Administration (Badan Pengawas Obat dan Makanan, BPOM). It uses the normative-juridical research methods with a statutory approach. The results shows that Indonesia has a legal relating to consumer protection, namely Law Number 8 of 1999 concerning Customer Protection. Thus, any fraudulent businesses actors who still frequently violate statutory regulations can be subject to sanctions in the form of administrative or criminal sanctions. Additionally BPOM as a supervisory agency also actively monitors the circulation of this dangerous product and even withdraws the product if it is proven to contain dangerous ingredients. Similarly, in the context of Islamic law, this supervision is strengthened by the principles of justice, responsibility and protection of consumers. Islamic law‘s objective is to ensure that cosmetic products on the market meet the safety standards set by Islamic principles, as well as providing appropriate protection to consumers fro

Problems that become obstacles in carrying out the tahfidz Qur'an program at SD IT Cendekia Darussalam, thereby disrupting the improvement of the quality and ability of tahfidz Qur'an of students at school, include the lack of enthusiasm and motivation of students in memorizing the Qur'an, the deposit for memorizing was not fluent, students could not understand the meaning of their memorization and also the use of learning media and the choice of methods were inappropriate which cause the problems with the quality of students' memorization.This study was aimed to find out (a) how high the quality of students' memorization of the Qur'an is after implementing the quantum kauny method at SD IT Cendekia Darussalam. (b) the effect of applying the quantum kauny method on improving students' tahfidz Qur'an abilities at SD IT Cendekia Darussalam. The method used in this research was quantitative experimental method with a Quasi Experimental pretest posttest control group design. The samples in this study were students of class VI AL-Munadi and class VI Al-Munawwir. Data collection techniques in this research consisted of tests, documentation, observation and interviews. The results of the research show that there is a difference in test results using the Quantum Kauny method in pretest and posttest using the conventional method, this is proven by the "t" test and the results of hypothesis testing in class VI Al-Munawwir obtained tcount > ttable namely 13.066 > 2.07387 and significance value (2-tailed) < 0.05. then the test results in class VI Al-Munadi obtained tcount > ttable, namely 2.369 > 2,045 and the significance value (2-tailed) < 0.05, and the N-Gain test from the results of the N-gain analysis in the Experiment class was 0.33 medium category and control class 0.-12 low category. So it can be concluded that the use of the quantum kauny method has an effect on increasing the ability of tahfidz Qur'an students at SD IT Cendekia Darussalam because Ha is accepted and Ho is rejected
Impact of leadership styles on employee performance in small and medium enterprises
Authors: Berisha Ardian , Govori Arbiana , Sejdija Qemajl
Published: May 2024

This study focuses on the relationship between leadership styles and employee performance within the framework of European small and medium enterprises (SMEs). The study conducted interviews with 50 leaders and employees of different SMEs to collect data and reach the findings. The study shows the mixed influence of leadership styles and contextual moderation through qualitative interviews of leaders and employees from various SMEs in Europe. It sheds a spotlight on the various styles of leadership that typify many European SMEs, such that transformational leadership dominates significantly. The sense of dedication and zeal encouraged by charismatic leaders prompts professionals to action. Transactional leadership, however, does facilitate task-oriented accomplishment but it adversely affects employee’s vitality. The lack of common feedback on laissez-faire leadership highlights the essence of flexibility and considering the preferences of team members. Social psychological and other contextual aspects — organizational culture and the SME developmental stage — are, therefore, very important moderators of styles. With transformational leadership, innovative SMEs can thrive; transactional leadership might cause SMEs from regulated industries to grow fat on them. The preferential leadership according to the start-ups and the mature SMEs is different. Its implications for practice point out the importance of coherence with respect to the personality style of the leader concerning the context of the organization and the needs of employees.

Adaptation Patterns and Their Associations with Mismatch Negativity: A Roving Electroencephalogram Paradigm with Expectations Maintained
Authors: Wong Brian W. L. , Huo Shuting , Maurer Urs
Published: May 2024

Adaptation is defined as reduced neural activation following repeated
stimulus presentation. While numerous previous electroencephalogram
studies used either one repetition or multiple repetitions to elicit
adaptation in event-related potentials, the adaptation patterns under
controlled expectations manifested in the two main auditory components,
N1 and P2, are still largely unknown. In addition, multiple repetitions
were used in mismatch negativity experiments to measure deviance
detection, but how adaptation in different time points contributes to
the mismatch negativity remains unclear. Therefore, in the present
study, 37 healthy adults participated in an electroencephalogram
experiment with a pure tone roving paradigm and a random stimulus
arrangement to maintain expectations. The amplitudes were traced along
with the first ten tones in the auditory event-related potentials
components, N1 and P2, to examine the adaptation patterns. Results
showed an L-shaped adaptation in the N1 with a large decrease after the
first repetition (N1 initial adaptation), and a continuous, linear
amplitude increase in the P2 even after the first repetition (P2
subsequent adaptation), possibly indicating memory trace formation.
Regression results showed that the peak amplitudes of the N1 initial
adaptation and the P2 subsequent adaptation significantly explained the
variance in the mismatch negativity amplitude. The results indicate
distinct adaptation patterns for multiple repetitions in different
components and suggest that the mismatch negativity combines two
processes as indicated by the initial adaptation in the N1 and a
continuous memory trace effect in the P2. Separating the two processes
may be relevant for models of cognitive processing and clinical
disorders.
Characteristics of the Spatial Pattern of Jiyuan 531 Industrial Heritage Landscape and Reuse Pathways in Different Contexts
Authors: WEI Hong
Published: May 2024

(1) Background: Jiyuan 531 Project is a three-line construction
constructed by the state from 1970 to 1975, which occupies a large area
with complex and diverse types, but there is a lack of analysis of its
landscape spatial pattern, and even a lack of ways to protect and update
its utilization. (2) Methods: Through the national geographic
information public service platform to collect its geographic
coordinates and satellite images combined with on-site investigation and
literature collection, the use of ArcGIS to analyze the horizontal and
vertical distance measurement between the factory, living area,
mountains, water system, villages, farmland. (3) Results: The overall
spatial distribution pattern of
“mountain-water-factory-village-cropland” is found to be embedded and
cohesive, which reveals the “Peach Blossom Garden” landscape spatial
imagery. (4) Conclusions: In the context of urban stock renewal,
combined with the overall thinking system of Jiyuan urban development
and construction, and with reference to other cases of excellent
industrial heritage protection and utilization, three modes are proposed
to explore the functional reorganization and structural optimization of
the 531 industrial heritage, landscape protection and precise design at
the macro, meso and micro levels, so as to realize the comprehensive
benefits of the economy, society, culture and environment in the region.
Species-specific leaf iso/anisohydric tendencies and root distribution shape transpiration patterns across karst habitats
Authors: Chen Hongsong , Liu Wenna , Behzad Hamid , Luo Zidong , Huang Li , Nie Yunpeng
Published: May 2024

Tree transpiration dynamics and mechanisms in karst habitats are not
fully understood due to the heterogeneous environmental features and
complex species composition. Two common coexisting tree species,
Mallotus philippensis and Celtis biondii, were examined in
soil- and rock-dominated (SD and RD) karst habitats. Soil moisture,
plant transpiration, root distribution, and leaf water potential were
measured over two years (2021 and 2022). The mean water content was
significantly lower in the RD than in the SD habitat. Transpiration
patterns also differed between habitats, although species-specific
distinctions were driven by leaf and root physiological traits. M.
philippensis showed an isohydric tendency in both habitats and a lower
density of fine roots, mostly in the soil zone, in the RD habitat. The
transpiration of M. philippensis followed the variation in soil
moisture, being lower in the RD habitat. Conversely, an anisohydric
tendency in both habitats and a higher density of fine roots in both the
soil and bedrock zones in the RD habitat were found in C.
biondii. This species showed higher transpiration in the RD habitat,
arising from ample water availability from soil and epikarst. Our
findings reveal the regulatory mechanisms of species-specific root-zone
water availability in transpiration patterns across karst habitats.
Diet components associated with specific bacterial taxa shape overall gut community compositions in omnivorous African viverrids

Published: May 2024

Gut bacterial communities provide flexibility to hosts during dietary
changes. Despite the increasing number of studies exploring the
associations between broader dietary guilds of mammalian hosts and their
gut bacteria, it is generally unclear how diversity and variability in
consumed diets link to gut bacteria in wild non-primate mammals. Here we
contribute to filling this gap by exploring consumed diets and gut
bacterial community compositions with metabarcoding of faecal samples
for two African mammals, Civettictis civetta and Genetta spp., from the
family Viverridae. For each individual sample, we characterised
bacterial communities and identified dietary taxa by sequencing
vertebrate, invertebrate, and plant markers. This led us to establish
diet compositions that diverged from what has previously been found from
visual identification methods. Specifically, while the two genera have
been categorised into the same dietary guild, we detected more animal
dietary items than plant items in C. Civetta, while in Genetta spp. we
observed an opposite pattern. We further found that individuals with
similar diets have similar gut bacterial communities in both species.
This association tended to be driven by specific associations of dietary
items to specific gut bacterial taxa, rather than entire communities,
implying diet-driven selection for specific gut microbes in individual
wild hosts. Our findings underline the importance of molecular tools for
improving characterisations of wild mammalian diets and highlight the
opportunities for simultaneously disentangling links between diets and
gut symbionts. Such insights can inform robustness and flexibility in
host-microbe symbioses to dietary change associated with seasonal and
habitat change.
Incorporation of crude palm oil: Influence on physiochemical, carotenoid, and consumer acceptance of dark chocolate
Authors: Mensah Eric Owusu , Awuni Peter
Published: May 2024

Crude palm oil (CPO) has great potential for cocoa butter alternative
(CBS). It is anticipated to improve the appearance, taste of chocolate,
and increase the nutritional properties of chocolate. Therefore, the
objective of this research was to determine the effects of crude palm
oil substitution on physicochemical, sensory acceptance and nutritional
properties (carotene) of the chocolate. The CPO substituted dark
chocolate was formulated and produced, and standard methods were
employed to assess the physiochemical attributes and carotene content of
the ingredients and chocolates. There were significant differences
between the produced CPO and the control in terms of moisture content,
FFA, peroxide value, beta and total carotene. However, there was no
significant difference between the palm oil-substituted chocolates
produced. In sensory profiling, the scores for the appearance, taste,
mouthfeel and texture of the palm oil-substituted chocolate did not
differ significantly from the control. Chocolate formulated with 6% CPO
was the most preferred by consumers. This study suggested that palm oil
substitution at 6% has the potential to improve the appearance, taste,
texture and mouthfeel of the chocolate. In addition, the moisture
content, FFA and peroxide value of the CPO met the standards and
regulations set by accredited Institutions and food bodies globally.

Authors: Henricsson Sara , Wallin Bengtsson Viveca , Renvert Stefan , Sanmartin Berglund Johan , Lundegren Nina , Andersson Pia
Published: May 2024

Objectives: To analyze whether self-perceived oral health and orofacial appearance change with increasing age.
Methods: This longitudinal study is based on data from a questionnaire used in the Swedish National Study of Aging and Care. The sample comprises 160 participants 60 years of age at baseline 2001–2003. The same participants were re-examined at 66-, 72-, and 78 years of age. To analyze whether perceptions of oral health and orofacial appearance changed with increasing age, Cochran’s Q test was conducted. Statistical significance was considered at p  ≤  0.05, and the calculated value Q must be equal to or greater than the critical chi-square value (Q ≥ 7.82). Significance values have been adjusted for the Bonferroni correction for multiple tests.
Results: Self-perceived mouth dryness, both day (Q = 7.94) and night (Q = 23.41), increased over the 18-year follow-up. When divided by gender, significant differences were only seen for mouth dryness at nighttime. A decrease in sensitive teeth was perceived with increasing age, and an increase in self-perceived satisfaction with dental appearance, and a decrease in self-perceived problems with dental gaps between the ages of 60 and 78. These changes were, however, not statistically significant. Men experienced a higher proportion of discomfort with discolored teeth at age 78 than at 60 (Q = 9.09).
Conclusions: Self-perceived oral health and orofacial appearance were relatively stable, with few changes over an 18-year follow-up.
Developing Organisational Resilience to Fundamental Crises: Evaluating Social Media as a Key Enabler for Resource Bricolage within Retail micro-SMEs
Authors:   , Cotterell Dafydd
Published: May 2024

Recent years have presented the UK economy with a series of fundamental crisis events, fostering complex challenges for UK businesses. These crisis events continue to test the adaptive capacity of businesses and have impeded the continuity of trade within several UK sectors. Such crisis events have had particularly sobering effects for the UK retail sector, and more specifically retail micro-SMEs. This research evaluates the experiences of retail micro-SMEs across the trans-crisis phase of the Covid-19 crisis, evaluating the role of effective social media use as an enabler for resource bricolage. Resource bricolage receives much precedent within crisis literature as an effective vector of organisational resilience in the face of crisis, however little is known regarding the key enablers of the bricolage process. With social media’s well documented ability to support positive commercial outcomes within business functions such as marketing, internationalisation, and innovation, it is logical to consider its role as an enabler of resilience. This study used a qualitative methodology where a semi-structured interview was applied as the research instrument. Overall, 20 interviews were conducted of which all participants were owner managers of retail micro-SMEs. The data collected was analysed using Reflexive Thematic Analysis, where prevalent themes were identified within the data. The study found that social media did indeed enable resource bricolage, where resource bricolage was an effective activity for developing resilience. Furthermore, the research identified that the degree of social media use, business experience and externally derived crisis forces all significantly contributed to the resilience of retail micro-SMEs. In addition to these three factors, the role of support mechanisms was also identified as a determining factor for businesses. These four factors cumulatively interceded the resilience of retail micro-SMEs, were businesses could be classified into one of three resilience categories. These three categories included businesses that failed, survived and thrived as a result of the crisis.
Historical Narratives in Islamic State Propaganda
Authors:   , Al-Tamimi Aymenn Jawad
Published: May 2024

Drawing on a large set of official Arabic-language publications of the Islamic State, this thesis provides an in-depth examination of historical narratives in Islamic State propaganda that spans the period 2014-October 2019 (i.e. the tenure of Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi as the group’s first caliph). The thesis argues that a set of themes emerge from the historical narratives deployed: namely, the in-group/out-group and crisis/solution dichotomies, steadfastness, ineligible in-group critique and historical legitimacy. These themes form the building blocks of a simple system of meaning for the group’s members and supporters, and without historical narratives these themes would make little sense. The themes are repeated seemingly ad nauseam, likely as part of a strategy to ensure that the group is staying ‘on message,’ and they are dovetailed by a theory of history that is ‘strongly’ and ‘weakly’ deterministic in nature, reinforcing the system of meaning. Moreover, this thesis finds that in constructing historical narratives, the group makes use of source materials that would generally be considered ‘authentic’ and ‘reliable’ in the realm of culture in which the group operates.

Introduction of Relationship Between the Vascular and Lymphatic Systems in Lymphedema Diagnosis and Treatment Research
Authors: Cheon Hawyeong , Jeon Jae Yong
Published: May 2024

In the past, the lymphatic and vascular systems were considered to be distinct circulatory systems. Consequently, diseases related to lymphatic and vascular circulation insufficiency were considered to have entirely different pathogenesis and treatment strategies. However, recent studies have reported a close interaction between these systems, revealing that dysfunction in lymphatic circulation can affect vascular insufficiency and vice versa. This new understanding has intimated the necessity of studying body fluid circulation from an integrated perspective that encompasses both capillaries and larger vessels in the lymphatic and vascular systems. In this review, we will introduce some cases observed in our research on lymphedema, a representative lymphatic insufficiency disease, focusing on the interrelation between the lymphatic and vascular systems identified in our findings. We studied lymphatic channel sheet (LCS), which is an artificial lymphatic scaffold for lymphangiogenesis, lymphangio-dynamics, which is a method to evaluate the lymphatic function, and quantified staging using magnetic resonance (MR) lymphangiography with gadolinium contrast agents. Although these studies were initiated to diagnose and treat lymphatic circulation disorders, we could observe associations with the vascular system. Based on these cases, we aim to discuss the intricate relationship between the lymphatic and vascular systems.

Halal tourism in Indonesia is currently a phenomenon that has become a trend as a superior economic potential and state revenue. This is reinforced by the number of provinces that have implemented halal tourism programs with an increasing number of tourists from all over the world. However, the facts in the field are still a lot of halal tourism that has not met the quality standards in Islamic law. The purpose of this study is to determine appropriateness of the implementation of halal tourism at Sobo Kali Magelang Tourism in review of fatwa DSN-MUI No.108/DSN-MUI/X/2016. This research method is descriptive qualitative with a case study approach. Data collection techniques use observation, interniew, and documentation techniques. The results of this study indicate that the implementation of Sobokali halal tourism is in accordance with DSN-MUI Fatwa No. 180/DSN-MUI/X/2016 not yet maximized, which is caused by several aspects that result in not achieving the application of the principles of shariah as a whole. These aspects include, first, the absence of Sharia Financial Institution services in managing business results. Second, the standardization of food and beverages for Sobokali tourism has not yet received Halal Certification from DSN-MUI.

Background: Eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE) is increasingly recognized as a significant public health issue in pediatric populations. The multifaceted mechanisms involving genetic, environmental, and immunological factors, particularly the role of allergens, are central to understanding EoE's pathogenesis. This study aims to analyze the prevalence of food allergies and atopic diseases among children diagnosed with EoE, offering insights into their interrelations and informing improved management strategies.
Methods: This retrospective study analyzed 47 pediatric patients diagnosed with EoE at the Allergy and Gastroenterology Clinic, Children's Hospital, King Saud Medical City, Riyadh, from February 2012 to December 2018. Patients were selected based on documented food allergies, anaphylactic reactions, comorbid atopic conditions, positive radioallergosorbent test (RAST) results, and elevated eosinophilia. Data collection involved medical records and detailed family questionnaires. Immunological assays and endoscopic biopsies were used for diagnosis, with EoE defined as more than 15 eosinophils/high power field.
Results: The study population predominantly comprised Saudi males, with a mean age of 8.36 years. A significant portion had consanguineous parents. Notable findings include a high prevalence of asthma (46.8%), allergic rhinitis (23.4%), and eczema (25.5%). The most common food allergens identified were peanuts, nuts, and seafood. Asthma severity varied, with ventolin and fluticasone being the most prescribed medications. Laboratory investigations showed elevated white blood cell, absolute neutrophil count, lymph, eosinophil sedimentation rat (ESO), eosinophil percentage, and immunoglobulin E (IgE) levels. RAST indicated specific allergen sensitivities in 34.0% of patients.
Conclusion: This study provides essential insights into the demographic, clinical, and therapeutic aspects of pediatric EoE, emphasizing the importance of a comprehensive, personalized approach to management.

Perkawinan sebagai salah satu jalan untuk mendapatkan kebahagiaan dalam keluarga. Menurut Agama Hindu Perkawinan menjadi jalan untuk melaksanakan kewajiban sebagai anak,kewajiban sebagai suami-istri, dan kewajiban sebagai orang tua. Namun dalam prakteknya, tidak selamanya perkawinan itu berjalan damai dan indah. Kadang kala terjadi perselisihan di dalam rumah tangga yang menimbulkan kekerasan. Kekerasan dalam rumah tangga yang menjadikan perempuan sebagai korbannya sering terjadi. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menekankan peran suami dalam rumah tangga guna melindungi perempuan dari tindak KDRT. Penelitian ini menggunakan studi kepustakaan dengan analisis data deskriptif. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa dalam ajaran agama Hindu, suami memiliki peran yang sangat besar untuk melindungi keluarganya. Kedudukan suami dalam sistem patrilineal yang dianut umat Hindu Bali tidak hanya memberikan suami kedudukan yang tinggi dan menjadi yang paling dihormati dalam keluarga, namun dibalik hal tersebut seorang suami memiliki tanggung jawab yang besar untuk menjaga keutuhan rumah tangganya. Suami memiliki tugas untuk melindungi keluarganya dan memberikan kedamaian untuk mencapai kehidupan berumah tangga yang bahagia dan kekal sesuai dengan tujuan dilaksanakannya perkawinan.
Dupla representação de pessoa e a sintaxe dos impostores
Authors: Carvalho Danniel
Published: May 2024

O presente trabalho tem como objetivo introduzir uma análise unificada para dois fenômenos envolvendo a categoria pessoa: impostores nominais, expressões nominais com leitura pessoal, e pronomes impostores, formas pronominais pessoais com leitura impessoal. Baseado na estrutura referencial de Collins e Postal (2012), e da estrutura do DP pronominal de Orlando e Saab (2021), proponho uma análise em que as expressões impostoras possuem traços pragmáticos participantes aos quais a estrutura sintática é sensível, a saber: [AUTOR] e [DETINATÁRIO]. Esses traços, no entanto, diferem dos traços-phi de 1ª e 2 ª pessoas, estes responsáveis apenas pela operação de concordância. Assim, há uma assimetria na configuração dos DPs impostores: enquanto as expressões-R impostoras não apresentam traços-phi de pessoa, o que bloqueia a morfologia pessoal na concordância sentencial dessas expressões, os pronomes impostores carecem dos traços pragmáticos participantes, impedindo uma leitura referencial. Esses traços pragmáticos são computáveis em uma projeção sintática responsável por ligar os nominais às relações discursivas: GroundP (RITTER; WILTSCHKO, 2019). Por fim, demonstro que os impostores nominais e pronominais têm seus traços participantes valorados na posição de especificador de dois núcleos funcionais acima do DP, que são responsáveis pelas leituras de falante e destinatário.
Adverse effects of nail cosmetics and how to prevent them
Authors: Bansal Shikha , Grover Chander
Published: May 2024

Nail cosmetics are being used world over for nail enhancement, and their list is an ever expanding one. However, due to their widespread usage, there are an increasing number of adverse effects also being reported. These have been reported both in the users as well as service providers (nail salon workers/technicians). Adverse effects to nail cosmetics usually present to dermatologists, who need to be equipped to suspect, diagnose, and manage them. A whole range of newer nail cosmetic products are available now, which can lead to a variety of adverse reactions. These may be early and hence easy to temporally correlate with cosmetic usage; or have a delayed onset making it difficult to correlate with the nail cosmetic used. Varying presentations include onycholysis, infections, allergic dermatitis, psoriasiform nail changes, and systemic adverse effects. The range of clinical manifestations, prevention, and management of nail cosmetic-related adverse effects are detailed in this review.
Evaluation of Glycosylated Hemoglobin Levels and Effect of Tobacco Smoking in Periodontally Diseased Non-Diabetic Patients

Published: May 2024

Background and Objective

Chronic diseases have progressively increased worldwide, impacting all areas and socioeconomic groups. Periodontal disease is an increasing global concern and contains risk factors similar to other chronic illnesses. The main risk factor for periodontitis is smoking. Smoking not only hastens periodontal disease but also complicates periodontal therapy. Serum glycosylated hemoglobin levels, which are derived from the average life span of an erythrocyte, are a good indicator of glycemic management during the preceding one to three months. This study was undertaken to assess the association between tobacco smoking and periodontal disease by evaluating plaque score, gingival score, extent and severity index (ESI), and glycemic status by estimating serum HbA1c in cigarette smoker patients compared to non-smokers.

Methods

The study was conducted with 40 patients in the age range of 20–40 years. Patients were divided into two groups: non-smokers (Group I) and cigarette smokers (Group II). Periodontal clinical parameters such as the plaque index (PI), gingival index (GI), and ESI were recorded during the oral cavity examination. The biochemical marker, serum glycosylated hemoglobin, was measured in both groups. All parameters were measured at baseline and three months after periodontal therapy. The statistical tests used were the paired t-test, and Chi-square test for comparison between both groups.

Results

The mean difference of PI of non-smokers was 0.33 ± 0.30, and smokers were 0.52 ± 0.32, which was statistically significant. The mean difference of GI of non-smokers was 0.34 ± 0.19 and smokers 0.36 ± 0.303, which was statistically significant. The mean difference of extent in non-smokers was 5.33 ± 1.59, 5.52 ± 2.43, and smokers were 0.18 ± 0.17. The mean difference in severity in non-smokers was 0.18 ± 0.17, and smokers were 0.31 ± 0.25, which was statistically significant. The mean difference of HbA1c in non-smokers and smokers was 0.43 ± 0.277 and 0.415 ± 0.230, which shows a higher mean difference in non-smokers, which was statistically non-significant.

Conclusion and Global Health Implications

This study concluded that each of Group I and Group II showed substantial improvements in all clinical periodontal variables, which include plaque index (PI), gingival index (GI), extent and severity index (ESI), and biochemical marker serum glycosylated hemoglobin. Controlling inflammation with SRP can improve insulin resistance, lower glucose levels, and prevent non-enzymatic glycation of hemoglobin.
