Understanding the emerging phenomenon of food forestry in the Netherlands: An assemblage theory approach
Authors: Roodhof Anna
Published: March 2024

In the Netherlands, food forests have been appear­ing by the dozens since 2017, resulting in calls by Dutch national and local governments, as well as civil society organizations, for evidence of their parameters and profitability. This paper focuses on the former, mapping and analyzing food forestry (FF) in the Netherlands by drawing on assemblage theory. A survey, and unstructured interviews with five FF experts from the field, resulted in descrip­tive FF data as well as a map of 231 food forests. The main conclusion from the survey data from 109 participants is that food forests are incredibly diverse and versatile in terms of goal or orientation, although few initiatives focus on profitability. Some similarities include age, as most food forests were planted after 2017, and size, as most are between 0.5 and 2.5 hectares (ha), or between 1.2 and 6.2 acres. The demographics of practitioners, however, are rather homogeneous: university-educated individuals between 40 and 60 years old are the norm. Many practitioners state that the FF community at large has contributed to their access to knowledge and network, as well as their enthusi­asm, sense of pride, and hope for the future regard­ing FF. Moreover, a shared ontological posi­tion, the distribution and exchange of knowledge, the institutionalization of FF, and infrastructural conditions both foster cohesion within the FF assemblage and embody exclusionary and disrup­tive processes. These complex relations confirm the importance of descriptive and contextualized evidence to support FF.

Arabic Accounts of Mediterranean Captivity, 1517–1798
Authors: Matar Nabil
Published: March 2024

The history of captivity in the early modern Mediterranean has been studied exclusively through European and Ottoman/Turkish sources. But from Aghadir to Alexandretta, the language of piety, travel, religious disputation, and chronicle was Arabic (sometimes written as Garshuni). An extensive archive has survived in Arabic describing the experiences of Muslims, Eastern Christians, and Jews in European captivity. After all, from the middle of the seventeenth century on, British and French fleets, with their advanced naval capabilities, seized large numbers of captives from the ‘other shore’ (to cite Braudel) – captives who have been ignored in scholarship but survive in numerous sculptures from Spain and Germany to Malta and Hungary. This study continues the research into the Arabic archive by introducing further accounts about captivity by European pirates and privateers, showing how the Mediterranean became the scene of Christian masters and Arabic-speaking slaves. Not surprising, by the nineteenth century, a Moroccan traveler prayed that the Mediterranean become a barrier/hājiz against European depredations.
Systems of Dependent Labour in Roman Imperial Quarries
Authors: Beck Dennis Mario
Published: March 2024

Quarries are an interdisciplinary research topic for scholars who are interested in technical organization, economy, work processes and supply chains. In antiquity, the quarrying and trade of stone were highly dependent on persons from a variety of legal status groups and their cooperation in networks and institutions. Research shows that during the high Roman Empire, some quarries both belonged to the Roman emperor and were operated by an administrative structure that was highly dependent on him. Although the administrations were organized in a strict hierarchy, they depended much more on the emperor and the officials he employed than on the legal statuses of individuals. Slaves and freedmen gained importance due to their specialization in business. Characteristic is the cooperation of these actors within different fields of work in the economy, but in many cases it cannot be determined in detail merely from the sources, and requires research models. By using the chaîne opératoire and analyzing the quarry at Simitthus as an example, the paper shows to what extent this methodology is suitable for identifying dependency relationships between individuals. In addition, interagency and spatial relations can serve as indicators of dependencies among the actors, and network analysis offers insights into administrations in imperial quarries.
Slaving and the Funding of Elite Status in Early Medieval Europe (ca. 800–1000 AD)
Authors: Rio Alice
Published: March 2024

In the last few years research on early medieval slavery has seen an ever-growing emphasis placed on long-distance slave trading, and on the raiding practices that fed this trade. There has been relatively little link-up between this and older historiography looking at slavery in terms of labour and social history: the slaves who moved and the slaves who stayed have largely been kept in separate conversations. The increased profitability of slaving, though, should lead us to expect a rise in the internal importance of slavery as well as in slave-raiding and trading to external markets. This is what we find in many of the regions most intimately associated with the trade. There were, however, profound regional differences in the profiles and forms of engagement in slaving activities across Europe. I suggest that Joseph C. Miller’s idea of slaving as a political strategy adopted by marginal players seeking to bypass normal forms of elite competition is helpful in thinking through the logic of these different responses to the opportunities and challenges presented by the slave trade: what motivated and constrained elite choices and possibilities? And what made slaving a more viable political strategy in some regions than in others?

PENTINGNYA SAKRAMEN BAPTIS BAGI KESELAMATAN MENURUT KATEKISMUS GEREJA KATOLIK
Authors: Pelealu Omega Yasinta , Kaunang Steward Louis Fransisko , Mandagie Gerrardi Vincent Frederico
Published: March 2024

This article discusses the Catholic Church's view of the Sacrament of Baptism as a sign and means of salvation for the faithful. The author developed his writing based on the theological ideas contained in the Catechism of the Catholic Church. So, based on official Church documents, the author attempts to explain that the sacrament of baptism is not only an entry point for Church membership but also that baptism offers spiritual fruits that are useful for the salvation of believers. By baptism, the people are united to Christ both in death and also in His resurrection. This is why the sacrament of Baptism still plays such an important role in the Catholic Church.

A Geografia da Saúde busca compreender a vinculação da saúde com a produção do espaço a partir da determinação social e ambiental da saúde e da doença. Logo, ao considerar o contexto social e natural em que vivemos e suas interações com a saúde, ela apresenta vários pontos de intersecção com a Geografia Escolar. Nesse contexto, o presente trabalho teve como objetivo abordar a Geografia da Saúde intrinsicamente aos conteúdos curriculares de Geografia no nono do ano do ensino fundamental. Os procedimentos utilizados foram a revisão bibliográfica; a observação participante não estruturada; a aplicação questionário com perguntas não estruturadas e estruturadas, sendo que para as últimas as questões foram de múltipla escolha e com escalas de mensuração ou medição, nomeadamente a Escala de Likert com cinco categorias de respostas. A análise das informações ocorreu pela técnica de análise de conteúdo. De modo geral, os resultados foram positivos e relevantes para a maioria dos estudantes, que se empenharam e participaram e ativamente das atividades, argumentando sobre os seus pontos de vista e citando exemplos.

Published: March 2024

A pandemia de Covid-19 vitimou 7 milhões de pessoas atingindo mais de 185 países. Este estudo analisa como a complexidade socioeconômica regional se correlacionou com os efeitos da pandemia no Brasil. Metodologicamente, dados socioeconômicos e de saúde foram utilizados, a partir de indicadores do IBGE e as informações de saúde foram acessadas no DATASUS. As variáveis foram agrupadas em três categorias e a normalidade dos dados foi verificada pelo teste de Shapiro-Wilk, em conjunto com teste de correlação não paramétrico de Spearman. O poder de correlação foi avaliado a partir de coeficientes de intensidade, onde as correlações fortes foram regionalizadas em clusters, através de dendrogramas gerados pelo software "Jamovi 2.4.5.0", módulo "snowCluster". Os resultados revelaram que a proporção de pessoas com baixa renda apresentou forte correlação negativa com a incidência de Covid-19, isso sugere que regiões com renda baixa tiveram menor incidência da doença. Tal indicativo é surpreendente, porém essa associação contraintuitiva é elucidada pelo Nordeste, com baixos indicadores de renda, ter apresentado menor incidência. Os clusters indicaram que o Nordeste compartilha características homogêneas, demonstrando maior resiliência à pandemia, apesar de possuírem indicadores desfavoráveis, enquanto estados do Sul e Centro-Oeste, com melhores indicadores, mostraram maior vulnerabilidade

UNIVERSIDAD INTERVENIDA Y RESISTENCIAS POLÍTICAS: LA EXPERIENCIA DE LA FEDERACIÓN DE ESTUDIANTES DE LA UNIVERSIDAD DE CONCEPCIÓN ENTRE 1983 Y 1988
Authors: Solís Alvarez Eduardo
Published: March 2024

Este artículo tiene como principal objetivo abordar las experiencias de ex dirigentas y dirigentes de la Federación de Estudiantes de la Universidad de Concepción (FEC), en torno a las prácticas de resistencia política empleadas para enfrentar la dictadura chilena, específicamente, entre los años 1983 y 1988. Para esto se realizaron entrevistas en profundidad a dirigentas y dirigentes que ocuparon un rol activo en la recuperación de la FEC durante el año 1983, junto con un análisis documental a partir de la revisión de las revistas Apsi, Cauce y Análisis comprendidas en el período de estudio. Dicho período se caracteriza, principalmente, por la implementación de una fuerte política represiva dirigida hacia el conjunto de la población civil y movimientos sociales. Al mismo tiempo, se inicia un proceso ascendente de resistencia política en contra de la dictadura, donde el movimiento estudiantil universitario jugó un rol protagónico. Las principales conclusiones del estudio refieren a que las prácticas de resistencia se nutrieron de memorias, en la misma medida que se plantearon objetivos políticos estratégicos. Así mismo, se caracterizaron por la unidad y convergencia del movimiento estudiantil y por el despliegue de capacidades de articulación entre los propios estudiantes con otros movimientos y actores sociales.

Authors: Schrohn Romina
Published: March 2024

Analizar la educación secundaria en Argentina es examinar una historia atravesada por múltiples tensiones, desafíos y transformaciones, una historia que se escribe a diario. Tanto en los ámbitos académicos, como en los cotidianos, la escuela se nombra, se vive, se defiende, se cuestiona, a veces desde la nostalgia de lo que fue, otras desde el fatalismo y la culpabilización o desde la resistencia y la esperanza. Sin duda la escuela moviliza sentires y pensares. Escuchar y narrar la escuela: entramados de trayectorias, inclusión y desigualdad de la Dra. Mariángeles Calvo (2023), es un libro que nos invita a reflexionar sobre la escuela en el escenario actual, en sus múltiples dimensiones, desde su complejidad, sus desafíos, potencias y alternativas.

Los hallazgos y reflexiones que nos comparte la autora en este libro surgen del desarrollo de su tesis doctoral realizada en Argentina, programa de Doctorado en Trabajo Social de la Facultad de Trabajo Social de la Universidad Nacional de La Plata (FTS-UNLP), en el periodo 2016-2020. Esta investigación estuvo orientada a analizar las estrategias de intervención profesional del Trabajo Social en los Equipos de Orientación Escolar (EOE), buscando responder a la pregunta sobre “los desafíos y obstáculos presentes al momento de planificar intervenciones en acompañamiento a las trayectorias educativas de jóvenes de escuelas secundarias de la ciudad de La Plata” (Calvo, 2023, p. 15). Trayectorias que se configuran en escenarios de complejización de la cuestión social, profundización de la desigualdad y resignificación del enfoque de la educación inclusiva.

Os bioestimulantes são exemplos de avanços dinâmicos na regulação dos processos fisiológicos das plantas, cuja utilização pode garantir o bom desenvolvimento das plantas. Exemplos de bioestimulante são o extrato pirolenhoso e o Stimulate® que influenciam diretamente os processos fisiológicos iniciais dos vegetais. Objetivou-se avaliar a qualidade fisiológica de sementes de feijão-caupi tratadas com diferentes doses de bioestimulantes. As sementes foram tratadas no laboratório de biologia da Universidade Estadual do Piauí com os bioestimulantes: extrato pirolenhoso e Stimulate®. Os produtos foram diretamente aplicados nas sementes e colocadas em um saco plástico transparente, para uniformização na superfície das mesmas. As variáveis estudadas foram: germinação, primeira contagem de germinação, emergência, matéria fresca de plântulas e o comprimento das plântulas. O delineamento utilizado foi o inteiramente casualizado (DIC), com quatro repetições, em um arranjo fatorial de 2x5, sendo o primeiro fator estudado, os bioestimulantes (extrato pirolenhoso e Stimulate®), e o segundo fator as doses aplicadas (0, 3, 6, 9 e 12 ml kg-1 de sementes). A análise de variância mostra efeitos significativos entre os produtos e as doses utilizadas para as variáveis germinação, comprimento de plântula, matéria fresca de plântulas e emergência. A variável primeira contagem de germinação houve efeito significativo para o fator separado doses. O Stimulate® obteve resultado superior ao extrato pirolenhoso para a maioria das variáveis estudadas. O extrato pirolenhoso na dose 12 ml kg-1 e em condições ideais, propicia maior resposta no desenvolvimento inicial de plântulas de feijão-caupi. Vale ressaltar a importância de continuar estudos com este produto, visando diminuir os custos de produção e aumentar a produtividade.

Published: March 2024

A situação pandêmica que assola o mundo fez com que todos os processos de escolarização tivessem que se adaptar para o formato remoto. Tal situação não foi diferente com a modalidade da Educação Infantil (EI), a qual principia a escolarização de crianças de até 5 anos, sendo que as crianças são dependentes e não possuem autonomia para realizar atividades no formato remoto. Assim, esse estudo, de caráter qualitativo, teve como objetivo realizar uma análise comparativa das medidas adotadas para o ensino remoto na EI de dois municípios localizados em diferentes regiões do Brasil. Para isso, foi utilizada a pesquisa documental como técnica de coleta de dados, que ofereceu aporte teórico para coleta de informações em documentos legais, sites e reportagens. Os resultados demonstraram que houve uma convergência nas medidas adotadas, entretanto a Secretaria Municipal de Educação (SME) de Ibiporã-PR transitou por algumas adaptações no meio desse processo. Importa salientar que a MDE de Guarujá-SP desenvolveu atividades para todas etapas de escolarização em que oferta na sua rede, o que não ocorreu efetivamente na SME de Ibiporã-PR.

A Abordagem Sistêmica Comunitária pode contribuir para o ensino de Ciências no contexto pós-pandêmico de Covi-19 como uma tecnologia socioterapêutica multidisciplinar e de variado impacto na escola. Criada pelo Movimento Saúde Mental, esta tecnologia pode ser harmonizada com o ensino das escolas de tempo regular e com as diretrizes das Escolas de Tempo Integral nas práticas docentes do ensino de Ciências com foco na saúde mental, por meio de seu arcabouço teórico-prático e de suas ações exitosas e com reconhecimento social nacional e internacional. A tecnologia socioterapêutica do Movimento Saúde Mental está organizada sobre três princípios e alguns valores norteadores, que são a autopoiese, que pode ser entendida como a promoção do protagonismo, a trofolaxe humana, que é a comunicação intrapessoal/interpessoal/transpessoal e a tendência natural para o autoaperfeiçoamento, fenômeno que pode ser entendido como a emergência sintrópica, onde as soluções podem emergir de forma harmônica dentro do próprio grupo ou comunidade. Realizou-se um levantamento de informações de caráter bibliográfico e documental sobre as temáticas relacionadas que pudessem fazer uma associação teórica entre o uso da Abordagem Sistêmica Comunitária, o Ensino de Ciências em escolas regulares e em Escolas de Tempo Integral, juntamente com práticas de relato de experiência e reflexões teórico-metodológicas do doutorando desenvolvedor da pesquisa como forma de buscar relações entre a prática vivencial no Movimento Saúde Mental e sua aplicação em sala de aula como professor de Ciências. A experiência aqui relatada promove reflexões práticas e teórico-metodológicas para o avanço nos processos de ensino-aprendizagem nas práticas docentes para o ensino de Ciências com foco na saúde mental. A aplicação da Abordagem Sistêmica Comunitária como proposta de uma tecnologia social aplicada à educação e ao ensino, especialmente ao ensino de Ciências em escolas de tempo regular e em Escolas de Tempo Integral, como uma metodologia ativa com foco na saúde mental, é uma realidade totalmente possível. Há uma complementação teórico-prática entre estas realidades conceituais do Movimento Saúde mental e a prática no chão de sala de aula docente.
OF HIS BONES ARE CRINOID MADE: TAPHONOMY AND DEADFALL ECOLOGY OF MARINE REPTILES FROM A PELAGIC SETTING (MIDDLE-UPPER JURASSIC OF NORTHEASTERN ITALY)

Modern cetaceans are considered the best anatomical and ecological analogue for many Mesozoic secondary aquatic reptiles. Such similarities extend also after the death of these phylogenetically distant amniotes, when the sinking and decomposition of large carcasses in marine environments (deadfalls) follow common biostratinomic processes. Most taphonomic studies on Mesozoic deadfalls have been limited to shallow-water settings, often neglecting deeper waters. Here we provide a detailed taphonomic survey of ichthyosaurs, pliosaurs and metriorhynchoids from the pelagic Middle-Upper Jurassic Rosso Ammonitico Veronese (RAV) of northeastern Italy. Our taphonomic revision of the RAV tetrapod record highlights a common poor state of preservation of the bones, often associated with abundant macrofossils, consistent with a prolonged exposure of carcasses on a well-oxygenated seafloor. For the first time we confirm the role of nautiloids as active mobile scavengers by means of tens of beak elements found closely associated with, or even piercing, the bones. Hexanchiform shark teeth are also found associated with the carcasses, supporting a distinctive deep-water mobile scavenging community. Echinoids, sponges and other bioeroders are identified as representative of the enrichment-opportunist stage, and a high concentration of belemnites is believed to be indicative of mass-spawning deaths in the surroundings of the carcasses. Abundant crinoids are recognized as part of the reef stage by colonization of the eroded bones. While some of our data deviate from previous Mesozoic reptile-falls from shallow-waters, they are consistent with findings at Recent whale-falls in bathyal zones, and overall represent a precious window into the complex ecology of Jurassic open seas.

Published: March 2024

The individuals in old age move to old age homes due to different factors. In old age homes, there are provision of infrastructure, amenities and facilities, which are facilitating in carrying out all types of tasks and activities in a well-ordered manner. The individuals employed are required to be well-equipped in terms of different types of job duties and responsibilities. Furthermore, they are required to augment their information in terms of methodologies and approaches, which are facilitating in generating desired outcomes. The main objective of all the staff members living in old age homes is to promote well-being and goodwill of senior citizens. The senior citizens are overwhelmed by different types of health problems and illnesses. In some cases, they are not ambulatory, hence, it is of utmost significance to make provision of medical and health care facilities. The medical practitioners and health care specialists are required to be well-versed in terms of methods and approaches, which are facilitating in doing well in one’s job duties and generating desired outcomes. As a consequence of carrying out job duties efficiently, individuals will contribute in leading to progression of old age homes. Therefore, old age homes are facilitating in promoting well-being and goodwill of senior citizens. The main concepts that are taken into account in this research paper are, estimating supply of old age homes, measures to be implemented in promoting enrichment of status of old age homes in India and causes enabling senior citizens to live in old age homes.

Authors: YOUSAFZAI ZA , ILYAS S , NAWAB Z , ABDULLAH .
Published: March 2024

Pediatric heart failure represents a critical health concern characterized by the heart's inability to effectively pump blood, often resulting from congenital heart defects, myocarditis, and cardiomyopathies. Malnutrition has emerged as a recognized comorbidity in pediatric heart failure, significantly impacting patient outcomes. This study aimed to investigate the relationship between malnutrition and pediatric heart failure by analyzing Z-scores at presentation to guide targeted interventions and improve patient management. The study employed a retrospective observational design and was conducted at the Department of Pediatric Cardiology, Lady Reading Hospital, Peshawar, from January 2023 to January 2024. A total of 764 pediatric patients with heart failure were included in the analysis. Nutritional status was assessed using weight and height measurements, and Z-scores were calculated based on WHO Child Growth Standards. Data analysis was performed using IBM SPSS version 22. Results revealed varying degrees of malnutrition among pediatric heart failure patients, with 62.8% classified as severely malnourished, 28.4% as moderately malnourished, and 8.8% as mildly malnourished. The calculated Z-score of -3.2 indicated significant malnutrition among the study population. Furthermore, a negative correlation (r = -0.32, p < 0.001) between Z-score and left ventricular ejection fraction was observed, suggesting a link between malnutrition severity and cardiac dysfunction. These findings underscore the high prevalence of malnutrition among pediatric heart failure patients and its substantial impact on outcomes. Early nutritional assessment and intervention are crucial for optimizing patient care and enhancing outcomes in children with heart failure. Collaborative, multidisciplinary approaches that integrate cardiac and nutritional management strategies can comprehensively address the diverse needs of this vulnerable population.

Dengue fever, caused by the Aedes mosquito-borne dengue virus, is still a major public health concern in many parts of the world, including Lahore, Pakistan. Lahore region is regarded as a dengue fever hotspot due to the large number of cases reported each year. The purpose of this research is to give an in-depth analysis of dengue mosquito dynamics in Lahore, with a particular emphasis on determining the influence of dengue epidemics and environmental factors. The current study was based on survey comprising 240 individuals from Lahore. In the study findings, 82.08% were positive cases and 17.91% were negative cases. The majority of respondents, were aware of the symptoms of dengue infection (62.33%), its transmission (90.83%), the cause of dengue (61%), safety precautions (73.33%), and the organ infected by the dengue virus (66.25). However, the majority of people are still clueless. 70% of participants indicate that television is their primary information source. Dengue fever cases have been found to have a seasonal pattern, peaking during the monsoon season (45.41%) when mosquito breeding conditions are perfect. The study's findings revealed that Aedes mosquitos, particularly Aedes aegypti, were widespread and identified as the primary vectors (61.66%) of dengue transmission in Lahore. It was revealed that temperature (49.58%), and rainfall all affected the number of Aedes mosquitoes. Overall, 81.6% were satisfied with Governmental efforts against the spread of dengue fever. Improved public knowledge is necessary to reduce dengue virus incidence. The findings of this study can assist public health professionals and legislators in developing targeted measures to mitigate the consequences of dengue epidemics and protect the public from this terrible infection.

The tax behavior of taxpayers has gained increasing relevance in the economic and legal context of Ecuador. The tax system plays a fundamental role in the generation of income for the State and the financing of public policies. In this sense, understanding and evaluating how taxpayers comply with their tax obligations becomes crucial to guarantee equity and efficiency in tax collection. In this regard, the objective is to examine the various legal aspects that affect the compliance of tax obligations by taxpayers in the Babahoyo canton. The Neutrosophic Delphi method was used to model the study. As a result, it is seen that the tax authorities should promote educational campaigns in the canton for the knowledge and understanding of their citizens about the current regulations and thus strengthen the tax system for the benefit of the economic and social development of the country.

Predicting sustainable financial crises and promoting green finance are paramount in fast developing economic landscape. Leveraging advanced AI-driven technologies, such as Neutrosophic logic, enables a nuanced understanding of complex sustainability factors influencing financial markets. By incorporating these advanced technologies, organizations can proactively mitigate and identify risks related to unsustainable practices while fostering investment aligned with environmental, social, and governance (ESG) principles. This proactive stance improves financial resilience and contributes to the transition towards a resilient and more sustainable financial ecosystem. We can navigate future challenges with foresight and responsibility through the synergy of sustainable financial crisis prediction and green finance initiatives, which ensures a prosperous and environmentally conscious financial future for the generation to come. This study develops a new optimal Fuzzy Parameterized Single-Valued Neutrosophic Subset for financial crisis prediction and green finance (OFPSVNS-FCPGF) technique. The OFPSVNS-FCPGF technique intends to recognize the presence of the financial disaster in the sustainable and green finance sector. In the OFPSVNS-FCPGF technique, Z-score normalization is primarily used to measure the economic data into a beneficial layout. For the procedure of prediction, the OFPSVNS-FCPGF approach designs the FPSVNS approach which detects the occurrence of financial crises or not. Furthermore, the parameter tuning of the FPSVNS technique takes place utilizing the grasshopper optimization algorithm (GOA). To illustrate the improved FCP outcomes of the OFPSVNS-FCPGF model, a series of simulations were involved. An wide comparison study specified that the OFPSVNS-FCPGF method gains significant outcomes in the green finance sector.

Authors: al Mustafa
Published: March 2024

Penetrating thorax traumas have high mortality rates, especially when the heart is also involved. Patients with heart injuries should not be considered as lost patients due to high mortality rates. Early diagnosis and treatment of life-threatening conditions, rapid transport of patients in need of surgery, and the time of surgical procedure are the most important factors in the prognosis. Patients, especially those with right ventricular injury, can regain their health with timely and correct interventions. In this case report, a 29-year-old patient, who was admitted to the Emergency Department with a penetraiting trauma in the chest and signs of tamponade appearing. In this study, we aimed to discuss the case of a patient who was diagnosed quickly in the emergency department and accompanied throughout a long transfer process and transferred to the trauma center, in the light of the literature, to emphasize the importance of emergency diagnosis and access to accurate and rapid surgical intervention.

Published: March 2024

Background: Polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS) is an endocrinopathy that causes various metabolic syndromes, including insulin resistance in 20-40% of patients. The treatment of the condition is often carried out using metformin, but it has been reported to have different gastrointestinal side effects. Consequently, several studies have recommended the use of propolis as an alternative, which has proven effective in improving insulin resistance in diabetic-induced rats and causes fewer side effects.
Objective: This study aimed to compare the effects of propolis and metformin in treating insulin resistance based on homeostasis model assessment of insulin resistance (HOMA-IR) value.
Materials and Methods: This study used post-test-only randomized control trial design and the sample population comprised 30 Wistar rats. The animals were divided into 5 groups: control (C), PCOS (PCO), PCOS with metformin (PCO+M), PCOS with propolis extract (PCO+P), and PCOS with metformin and propolis extract (PCO+MP). Subsequently, blood sampling, ovarian tissue sampling, and vaginal smearing were performed after 28 days of treatment.
Results: PCO+P and PCO+M groups experienced a significant decrease in testosterone concentration and preantral follicle count compared to PCOS group but the anovulation cycle was similar. Fasting blood glucose concentration in PCO+MP group showed a significant decrease compared to others. However, fasting insulin concentration and HOMA-IR value in treatment groups did not show any reduction compared to PCOS group.
Conclusion: Based on the results, propolis extract and metformin could not improve insulin resistance based on HOMA-IR value. However, propolis extract had better hypoglycaemic effects compared to metformin. The combination of both treatments had the potential to lower fasting glucose concentration.
