Published: February 2025

Unergonomic sitting positions and prolonged sitting duration can negatively impact workers' sleep quality and productivity. Various studies indicate that extended sitting is associated with sleep disorders, including obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), decreased heart rate variability, and an increased risk of other chronic diseases. To address these issues, ergonomics-based interventions—such as active workstations, dynamic work patterns, and increased physical activity during working hours—are recommended. Recent scientific literature highlights the importance of implementing strategies to prevent sleep disorders through interventions related to sitting posture, ultimately promoting workplace health. This aligns with the university's vision of supporting worker well-being, particularly in health, through an evidence-based approach. The findings from this review are expected to serve as a foundation for developing sustainable occupational health policies, particularly in workplace settings. This review examines the ergonomic impact of prolonged sitting on office workers' sleep quality and explores preventive measures to mitigate associated risks.

Published: February 2025

Qanun No. 3/2021 article 102, Paragraph 1 states that every company in Aceh is obliged to pay Zakat of 2.5 percent of the company's net profit through Baitul Mal. It is hoped that collecting corporate zakat can increase awareness of corporate zakat obligations as one of the pillars of economic and social development. It is hoped that palm oil companies, which are also an economic component, will also play a role in this matter, especially palm oil company zakat. The ineffectiveness of corporate zakat collection can be seen in the small number of companies that pay zakat every year. This research uses a literature study method. The results of this research can help palm oil companies in determining the amount of zakat from palm oil company net profits. The palm oil company sampled in this research is one of the palm oil companies in Aceh. The zakat potential for palm oil companies that is simulated to be calculated is only for two years, namely 2018 and 2019 according to their financial reports. This palm oil company is expected to be able to pay its palm oil company zakat in the coming year through Baitul Mal. The Company's Zakat that will be paid must have financial reports so that its financial performance can be measured.

This study aims to see how the practice of profit-sharing maw'ah blang in the agricultural sector in Alue Keurinyai village is from an Islamic perspective. This study is a qualitative study with a field study approach. Data collection was carried out through interviews and documentation. The results of the study showed that: 1) in carrying out the practice of maw'ah blang, the contract was carried out verbally, and the most frequently used cooperation system is muzara'ah, which is a collaboration between landowners and cultivators where the seeds come from the landowner with a profit sharing agreement according to mutual agreement. The profit-sharing system is carried out in two ways—first, 1/3:2/3 with 1/3 for the cultivator and 2/3 for the landowner. Second, 50%:50% using after getting the harvest, it is reduced by the initial capital, after getting the net results, it is divided 50%:50%. 2) If seen from the practices carried out by the Alue Keurinyai village community in general, it is by the theory of muzara'ah and mukhabarah discussed in the books of fiqh, while the method of profit sharing that they practice is in two forms. The first form is by the theory of muzara'ah or mukhabarah, while the second form is not in accordance, because profit sharing is carried out after deducting the initial capital, so that if the harvest does not meet the target, one of the parties will be harmed. This research is limited to the land maw'ah and in the village of Alue Keurinyai. Subsequent researchers can conduct it on other assets and in different places.

The objective of this study was to evaluate the impact of different additives in elephant grass silage, cultivar BRS Kurumi, on the nutritional quality of forage in the municipality of Campos Borges, RS. The forage was harvested when the canopy reached 72 cm, cut 10 cm from the ground and exposed for 24 hours to wither. It was then crushed and divided into treatments with and without additives: pure silage; addition of corn bran; addition of wheat bran; addition of rice bran; addition of cassava root; addition of orange pomace. After 66 days, the samples were analyzed for the nutritional characteristics of the silage. The results showed dry matter variation of 17.1% to 20.7% between treatments. The treatments with corn bran, rice bran and orange pomace showed higher levels of crude protein than the other treatments. The lack of rain during the production cycle favored the accumulation of stalks, making dehydration and the increase in dry matter difficult, compromising lactic fermentation and reducing pH. The addition of additives has proven to be an effective strategy to improve the quality of ensiled forage, incorporating soluble carbohydrates, precursors of VFAs.
Modern Approaches to Mechanisms of Eruption of Permanent Teeth: Focus On Maxillary Canines and Diagnosis of Their Eruption Disorders (Literature Review)
Authors:   Shupyk National Healthcare University of Ukraine, Lykhota K. M. , Yakush O. ,   Shupyk National Healthcare University of Ukraine
Published: February 2025

Introduction. Teething is a physiological process that occurs in a sequence established by nature to perform one of the main functions:
chewing. However, in some cases, this mechanism fails or is interrupted, resulting in the absence of a tooth or teeth, usually the upper
canines, which are fundamental to the patient’s esthetic, harmonious smile and stomatogenic system.
The harmony of the face is directly related to the presence of canines in the dental arch, which is important for a stable bite. The correct
size, shape, and position of the maxillary canines play an important role in the smile’s beauty. In addition, the maxillary canines also have an
important functional and gnathological significance: these teeth ensure the disocclusion of the lateral teeth during excursion movements
Purpose: based on the analysis of literary sources, to determine the main modern approaches to the mechanisms of the eruption of
permanent teeth, particularly upper permanent canines, and methods of diagnosing disorders of their eruption.
Materials and methods. Information search and analysis of scientific sources was done using scientometric databases Web of Science,
PubMed, and Google Scholar over the past 15 years.
Conclusion. The analysis of literary sources proved that the study of canine eruption in children is a particularly important aspect of
dentistry due to the specific role of canines in the development of the maxillofacial system. Canines, as key elements in the chewing
process and formation of a correct bite, are of critical importance for the functional and aesthetic development of the oral cavity. Since the
timing of canine eruption can significantly affect the bite’s correctness and the surrounding teeth’ development, their study is important
for early diagnosis and correction of possible anomalies.

The purpose of the study. Increasing the effectiveness of complex treatment of patients with sleep apnea.
Research methods. Clinical examination methods were carried out on 15 people in the comparison group. These are patients without
nocturnal apnea, cardiovascular or endocrine pathology, dental and jaw anomalies, oral habits, and normal swallowing. 34 persons
aged 15–17 with obstructive sleep apnea were examined and treated.
A clinical examination was conducted, with an external oral examination, determination of swallowing and breathing patterns, and
the state of the temporomandibular joints being important. Patients were given a secret questionnaire to identify stressful factors that
affect the body. The results of the cephalometric study were evaluated and compared with those of the clinical examination.
Scientific novelty. The results of a clinical and cephalometric study confirm the change in the tongue’s position in patients of the 1st
group during complex therapy. It is necessary to ensure the patency of the upper respiratory tract during sleep in OSA patients. Myofunctional
devices such as Froggymouth (France) were used in the complex treatment.
Conclusions. Our study indicated that patients with sleep apnea aged 15–17 years were diagnosed with problems from the side of
the maxillofacial apparatus, characterized by narrowing the maxilla in the transverse and sagittal planes. The treatment plan should be
etiopathogenetic. Myofunctional devices, aimed at forming new swallowing skills and cooperation between doctor and patient, considering
all stages of labiotherapy, should be included in complex treatment.

Published: February 2025

Proficiency in team communication skills (TCS) is essential for academic achievement in higher education. Discussing socio-scientific issues that are also backed by indigenous knowledge, such as the environment and biodiversity, requires TCS. Nevertheless, there is a dearth of literature on the integration of indigenous knowledge or local wisdom into biology learning, particularly in the context of project-based learning (PBL) at the university level. The objective of this study is to delineate the process of indigenous knowledge integrated biology learning with project-based learning (IKIBL with PBL). Additionally, the aim is to ascertain the TCS score subsequent to treatment using IKIBL with PBL. The study, which employed classroom action research, involved 19 university students. The IKIBL with PBL is a series of activities that are aligned with the PBL methodology. These activities integrate research related to indigenous knowledge into learning. The results of this research were used to create an educational video. The results showed that there was an increase in the percentage of high categories in each learning cycle. Although there was no increase of high categories in Cycle 2, more than 75% of the students were in the high category. The most prominent aspect was closed-loop communication, followed by information sharing, and finally listening. TCS is needed as a requirement for 21st century learning and solving social science issues such as biodiversity and the environment.

Cabbage (Brassica oleracea  capitata) is an important commodity in the Karangreja area of Purbalingga District. The crop is attacked by land snails. The objectives of this study were to: 1) identify the land snail species that attack cabbage crops; 2) ascertain the snail attack symptoms; 3) ascertain the snail population and attack intensity; and 4) show where snails are found in cabbage fields. The Purbalingga Regency's Karangreja Sub-district served as the site of the survey investigation. The Indonesian Institute of Sciences' Research Center of Biology, Laboratory of Zoology, identified land snails. The study was from February until April 2017. The findings indicated that Bradybaena similaris was a species of land snail. The snail attack was characterized by circular holes in the center of the leaves. The snail population ranged from 8.21 to 44.90 individuals, with varying assault intensities of low (21-40%) and medium (41-60%). The snail is distributed in a clumped pattern. We concluded that Bradybaena similaris snails are an important pest of cabbage plants.

Tabat Barito (Ficus deltoidea Jack.) plant has secondary metabolite compounds and several bioactivities. This study was conducted to test the allelopathic activity and phytotoxicity of methanol extract of Tabat Barito leaves against Pletekan weed (Ruellia tuberosa L.) The study used a completely randomized design (CRD) in two experimental stages, namely the seed germination stage and the plant growth stage, using the concentration of methanol extract of Tabat Barito leaves: 0%, 25%, 50%, and 75%. The results showed that the methanol extract of F. deltoidea leaves was able to inhibit the germination process of R. tuberosa weed seeds. The highest allelopathic power and phytotoxicity were produced at a concentration of 75%, which is significantly different from the other treatments. At the growth stage, the methanol extract of F. deltoidea reduced biomass (wet weight 76%; dry weight 67%), chlorophyll a 50%, chlorophyll b 50%, and total chlorophyll by 71%. The higher the F. deltoidea leaf methanol extract concentration, the higher the allelopathic power and phytotoxicity against weed growth. The study showed that the methanol extract of F. deltoidea leaves was able to inhibit weed germination and growth and had strong phytotoxicity power against Pletekan weed, so F. deltoidea leaf extract has the potential to be used as a source of allelopathy or natural herbicide ingredients (bio-herbicides) that are environmentally friendly substitutes for chemical herbicides against weed plants.

The objective of this study is to enhance prospective biology teacher students' species knowledge by integrating the field trip method with the indigenous knowledge of the Betawi Tribe, specifically through the skill of making educational videos. The research method employed was a one-group pre-test-post-test design. This study delineates the learning steps, namely stimulation, ethnobiological discussion, exploratory research, video artifact creation, and publication, conducted with active student involvement. The findings revealed that 66.67% of the students demonstrated proficiency in video production. The field trip combined indigenous knowledge with video-making skills, effectively enhancing students' understanding of local plant and animal species commonly used in traditional Betawi cuisine. The improvement in understanding of local plants and animals is evidenced by the increase in post-test scores compared to pre-test scores, showing a gain of 3.67 points or 16.87%. In addition, the Wilcoxon test showed a significant increase in knowledge of species after the learning experience with a Sig. (Asymp. Sig. 2-tailed) of 0.005 < Sig. 0.05. Field trips that integrated the indigenous knowledge of the Betawi Tribe with video-making skills improved students' knowledge of various species. We expect this research to contribute to improving the quality of education by integrating indigenous knowledge with the development of digital skills

Hibiscus tiliaceus L. is useful as shade plants, medicinal, and wood carvings. Optimizing utilization of plants depends on environmental conditions, one of which is sunlight that affects stomatal. Each plant has a different response to the stress of sunlight such as the ability to open and close the stomatal. This study aims to determine the differences in the stomatal characteristics of Hibiscus tiliaceusâ€™s leaves based on time estimation and difference of light intensity were determined using the replica method in Pananjung Pangandaran Nature Reserve, West Java. The results showed that the lowest and highest average length and width of porous stomatal, the number of open and closed stomatal, and the density of stomatal in shaded areas were 6 Âµm (morning and noon), 2.77 Âµm (afternoon), 6, respectively. 93 Âµm (morning), 3.83 Âµm (afternoon), 43 cells, 8 cells, and 259.86 cells / mm2, whereas in the non-shaded area 5.5 Âµm (morning), 2.97 Âµm (afternoon ), 7 Âµm (day and evening), 4.1 Âµm (afternoon), 18 cells, 26 cells, and 224.20 cells / mm2. The opening of stomatal in the non-shaded area is greater than the shaded. The estimated time, difference light intensity, and physical factors influence the parameters of the study.
