Published: November 2024

Hyaluronic acid as a socket preservation material can absorb large amounts of hydration and regulate appropriate pressure in the surrounding tissue, resulting in expansion of the extracellular space. The socket preservation technique used is a solution to bone loss due to tooth extraction. However, research on the hyaluronic acid (Gengigel) material in sockets with periodontitis has not yet been clearly studied. In this study, we will see an increase in the number of osteoblasts in the alveolar bone after tooth extraction in Wistar rats with periodontitis. To determine the increase in the number of osteoblasts after administering Hyaluronic acid to the tooth sockets of Wistar rats with periodontitis. An increase in the number of osteoblast cells was observed using a multi-head light microscope in 5 areas of the preparation at 400x magnification. The measurement results from 5 areas are averaged and a calculation is obtained for one preparation. There are 2 groups that will be used in this research, namely the Control group (without treatment), HA (given Gengigel). Each group was tested at 14 and 21 days after administering the material. The research results showed that the Hyaluronic Acid (Gengigel) group had a higher number of osteoblast cells than the control group. The one-way ANOVA test showed an average significance result of 0.000 (p < 0.05) for all groups. This indicates that there was a significant change in each treatment group. Giving hyaluronic acid to the tooth sockets of Wistar rats with periodontitis can increase the number of osteoblast cells.

Authors: Salsabila Aliyah , Parahyanti Endang
Published: November 2024

Academics have concluded that work meaningfulness is the basic need of employees that should be pursued. However, challenges arise in creating a perception of work meaningfulness caused by various factors in the workplace. Workplace ostracism or ostracism in the workplace is a potential factor that can affect the formation of work meaning, this is because the condition of being isolated or ostracized is often categorized as an interaction that causes pain and harm to the victim. Individual differences, especially trait mindfulness, are thought to have a strong role in the relationship between the two. Researchers gathered 305 employees from various industries to give statements to the survey given online. The results of data analysis using moderation analysis model 1 in PROCESS macro show that ostracism in the workplace is negatively correlated with employee work meaning (b = -0.5164). The results also showed that the benefit of trait mindfulness was as a buffer against the negative relationship between ostracism in the workplace negatively correlated with employee work meaning (b = 0.1146). It was also found that the mindfulness trait was also able to predict the meaning of employees' work at work (b = -0.2786).

Published: November 2024

This study, titled “Empowering Female Undergraduates with Technical and Vocational Education Training Skills (TVETS) to Overcome Socioeconomic Challenges in Nigeria,” was prompted by the insufficient focus on women’s education. The study was led by two research topics and formulated three null hypotheses. A descriptive survey research design was employed. The population consisted of 79 TVETS lecturers, and a census sampling technique was utilized. A questionnaire with four response alternatives was employed for data collection and evaluated by three specialists. The instrument’s dependability was determined using Cronbach’s alpha, resulting in coefficients of 0.80 and 0.81. The mean was employed to address the study issues, while one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) and t-tests were utilized to evaluate the null hypotheses at a significance level of 0.05. The findings indicated that female undergraduates necessitate empowerment in technical and vocational education training skills to effectively surmount socioeconomic problems, and the imperative for such empowerment is significant. It was determined that if female undergraduates are sufficiently equipped with technical and vocational education training skills in tertiary institutions, they will attain the necessary employability skills to secure job, generate income, and address socio-economic concerns. It was advised that Nigeria should sufficiently finance TVETS to provide its female residents with lifetime, in-demand skills for the evolving workforce. Funding must be steady, maintained, and potentially derived from several sources beyond government handouts to ensure sustainable national growth.

Published: November 2024

Families are what matters the most, so how do queer families handle their roles? This research paper addresses the metaphysical aspects of queer couples raising children, going against traditional family roles. It also examines the ethics of parenthood, the associated moral considerations when queer couples decide to become parents and questions how responsibilities are perceived in queer households. It examines the ethical, social and legal implications of Aided Reproductive Technologies (ART) and adoption policies. Queer people have existed for centuries although these types of families are rather modern concepts. “Lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer (LGBTQ+) parents raise well-adjusted children” .The study endeavors to explore conventional beliefs about gender, sexuality, and the nuclear family by referencing feminist, queer, and intersectional theories. We wish to understand what prejudices are held against the children of these queer couples and how they handle such issues. In particular, the research focuses on the duties and ethical issues of persons who abandon past relationships or familial commitments to form queer families. It also explores the philosophical and ethical aspects of moving from a heterosexual lifestyle to a queer one. And in abandoning these responsibilities how these individuals disrupt the conventional family structures. It also looks at the positive ways in which such parenting can impact our societies and fundamentally change the way we look at diversity, equality and justice. In a changing society where traditional ideas of family are being reinvented, this research is crucial. It offers a thorough philosophical examination that can improve social fairness, guide public policy, and advance a more accepting conception of parenthood and family variety. Through an analysis of modern discussions and case studies, this paper seeks to enhance the understanding of family and parenthood to be more inclusive in the 21st century.

El objetivo es evaluar el nivel de cumplimiento de la Responsabilidad Social Corporativa (RSC) en esta institución, identificando tanto fortalezas como áreas de mejora. Se empleó una metodología cuantitativa con enfoque descriptivo, utilizando cuestionarios dirigidos a una muestra de socios para recopilar datos significativos. Los resultados muestran que los socios valoran positivamente la eficiencia y transparencia en la gestión económica de la cooperativa. Sin embargo, se evidencia una considerable indiferencia o falta de claridad en las percepciones relacionadas con las dimensiones social y ambiental. Aunque algunos socios reconocen esfuerzos para reducir el impacto ambiental, otros perciben que estas acciones son insuficientes o se realizan de manera ocasional. Además, existe una percepción generalizada de que es necesario incrementar los esfuerzos en responsabilidad social, especialmente en la implementación de prácticas medioambientales y en la promoción de un entorno laboral seguro.

Benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) is a prevalent condition in aging men, characterized by the non-cancerous enlargement of the prostate gland, leading to bothersome lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) such as urinary urgency, frequency, and incomplete bladder emptying. While environmental and hormonal factors like androgen activity and chronic inflammation are well-known contributors to BPH development, genetic predisposition is increasingly recognized as a critical factor. A growing body of research has identified several genetic markers that may influence an individual’s susceptibility to BPH. This review explores the current understanding of these genetic markers, focusing on key findings from genome-wide association studies (GWAS), single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs), and the role of epigenetic modifications such as DNA methylation and non-coding RNAs in the pathogenesis of BPH. Additionally, the review discusses the potential application of these genetic markers in the early prediction of BPH, which could facilitate more personalized and targeted approaches to treatment. Despite the advances in this field, challenges such as the clinical translation of genetic findings and the integration of genetic screening into routine practice remain. The future direction of BPH research will likely focus on refining predictive models and exploring novel therapeutic avenues based on genetic insights.

Authors:   Faculty of Science and Technology Kampala International University Uganda, Kibuuka Rukundo Sande
Published: November 2024

Malaria and HIV co-infection presents a significant public health challenge, particularly in Sub-Saharan Africa, where co-morbidity rates are highest. Conventional therapies, including antiretrovirals and antimalarial drugs, are expensive and often associated with side effects that lead to noncompliance. Traditional medicinal plants offer an affordable and culturally accepted alternative. This review explores various plants used historically in the treatment of both malaria and HIV, focusing on their phytochemical constituents, mechanisms of action, and clinical efficacy. Plants such as Catharanthus roseus, Adenia venenata, and Morinda lucida have demonstrated antimalarial and antiviral properties, often through bioactive compounds like alkaloids and flavonoids. Additionally, integrating these traditional medicines with modern healthcare systems faces regulatory challenges, but there is promising potential for synergies in treatment efficacy. Further research, clinical trials, and interdisciplinary collaboration are necessary to validate these medicinal plants and improve the management of malaria and HIV co-infection. Keywords: Traditional medicinal plants, Malaria, HIV co-infection, Phytochemicals, Antimalarial properties.
