The Non-Integration of Refugees in South Africa as a Result of South African Domestic Rules
Authors: Yaouba Habiba
Published: August 2022

To discourage and avoid refugees from seeking protection on its territory, the government of South Africa is increasingly implementing restrictive refugee policies and practices. These policies and practices include interruption, prohibition measures, and restrictive interpretations of the refugee definition. This trend has manifested itself in several different ways, including an increase in the number of people held in detention facilities, a decrease in the number of benefits received from welfare programs, and severe restrictions placed on the possibilities of achieving financial independence, as well as restricted rights to reunite families. The denial of essential social, economic, political, and cultural rights, as well as other rights guaranteed by the 1951 Convention relating to the Status of Refugees and other rights guaranteed under the OUA 1969 Convention, is one of the primary ways that the application of discouragement procedures has more recently been extended within the country to recognized refugees. This has primarily taken place as a result of a reduction in the standards of treatment that are provided to refugees. Refugees in South Africa frequently violate their fundamental legal protections because of a lack of available resources. Xenophobia and prejudice against foreigners, particularly towards refugees, have also increased in the country in recent years. These attitudes contribute to an aggressive local environment in which reduced treatment standards are tolerated or even seen as acceptable. In particular, this prejudice is directed toward refugees. Even though the State of South Africa has ratified the 1951 Convention and its 1967 Protocol, the application of the convention varies greatly depending on the national, economic, social, and cultural conditions at any given time

Published: August 2022

Purpose: The purpose of this paper was to investigate the impact of emotional labour, job satisfaction, and work-life balance on cabin crews’ job performance. In addition, an attempt was made to evaluate the moderating effect of job satisfaction and work-life balance in lowering the negative repercussions of emotional labour on job performance.
Design: 201 responses were obtained from cabin crew members through a primary data collecting survey, which were then analysed using several statistical tools relating to the study's aims, including ANOVA and regression analysis through SPSS 26. Furthermore, secondary data was collected via numerous web platforms such as Google Scholar, Science Direct, Emerald Publications, Tailor and Francis, Srinivas Publications, etc.
Findings: The results showed that emotional labour had a significant negative impact on job performance, whereas a high level of work-life balance and job satisfaction mitigated the negative effects of emotional labour on job performance. Finally, the study claimed that job satisfaction and work-life balance have a significant impact on cabin crew performance.
Originality/Value: Since flight attendants frequently struggle with the problem of emotional consequences as a result of the nature of their job, this study is critical to the HR of the aviation sector in implementing policies to reduce the negative effect of emotional labour in order to improve job satisfaction and work-life balance, which increases cabin crews' productivity.

Abstract

                Ellochelon vaigiensis is a monotypic, catadromous, and widespread species throughout Indo-Pacific region. Taxonomy of the species is ancient and somewhat confused by morphological resemblance.  Here, we present and compare the morphological characteristics of E. vaigiensis from 3 distinct areas, respectively from the type locality (Waigeo Island, Raja Ampat), from Cendrawasih Bay (Biak Island), and Kaimana (Venu and Aiduma Islands). All the samples belong to E. vaigiensis following the species diagnosis given by Harrison and Senou (1999). No significant differentiation is found for all meristic and morphological characters between specimens caught from the type locality and Biak Island. Nevertheless, specimens from Kaimana have a slender body width compared to specimens from Waigeo Island (type locality) and Biak Island. Specimens from Kaimana also display a longer head and a larger eye diameter than specimens from Biak Island. A canonical discriminant analysis made on all morphometric data confirms the morphological differentiation of Kaimana‘s specimens compared to the type locality and Biak Island. These results suggest the possibility of the presence of cryptic species in E. vaigiensis and emphasize the necessity to conduct molecular taxonomy to definitely solve the taxonomic status of Kaimana specimens.

HIGHLIGHTS

The present study provided a detailed morphological study of E. vaigiensis based on specimens collected at the type of locality of Waigeo and samples caught from localities in the western part of New Guinea

No significant differentiation is found for all meristic and morphological characters between specimens caught from the type locality and Biak Island. Nevertheless, specimens from Kaimana have a slender body width at origin of first dorsal fin compared to specimens from type locality and Biak Island. Specimens from Kaimana also display a longer head and a larger eye diameter than specimens from Biak Island

A canonical discriminant analysis confirms the morphological differentiation of Kaimana‘s specimens suggesting the possibility of the presence of cryptic species in E. vaigiensis and emphasize the necessity to conduct molecular taxonomy

Authors: Ravishankar S. Kankale  , Dr. Sudhir R. Paraskar  , Dr. Saurabh S. Jadhao
Published: August 2022

This paper presents multiple approaches for the generation of Power Quality Disturbances (PQDs) and the development of the dataset required for evaluating the effectiveness of various PQDs detection and classification algorithms. In today's power networks, power quality is an important issue. Three PQDs, namely the voltage sags, swells, and interruptions, are considered under study in this research paper. In today's electricity grid, these PQDs are thought to be more prevalent and common. Today's end-users demand high-quality supply for the operation of their sensitive equipment. The utility must keep an eye on PQ and take the required actions to maintain it in order to deliver a supply of high quality. The creation of reliable and efficient PQ monitoring algorithms is a major goal for many budding researchers. The PQD signals or dataset of PQDs are required for the development and performance assessment of these PQ monitoring algorithms. The different approaches available for the generation of PQDs and dataset are discussed in detail in this research paper. This research work focuses on generating PQDs through the use of MATLAB programming, simulation of PQD models in the MATLAB Simulink environment, and experimental methodology. This paper will serve as a useful resource for budding researchers working in the PQ domain.

Authors: Dr. Ravindra S. Pote
Published: August 2022

The 100 kW Grid Connected Roof-Top (GCRT) Solar PV System erected at the SSGMCE, Shegaon Campus is modelled and simulated in this research. One of the renewable energies that is widely accessible is solar energy. In order to get the most out of solar energy, it is vital to use it properly. To meet the rising need for energy, more renewable sources must be used. A PV array's conversion efficiency decreases as a result of environmental parameter changes. Therefore, maximum power tracking, or MPPT, is employed. In order to boost energy production, MPPT detects peak power. Developing a PV array model, synchronising it with the grid, and implementing it in MATLAB Simulink are all covered in this work. This system comprises of a solar PV array, an IGBT inverter, and a grid connection. The power plant's performance is also described.
Vivo até a morte: a experiência limite na Crônica da Casa Assassinada
Authors: Soares Raoni Damiano
Published: August 2022

Se, com a Crônica da Casa Assassinada, Lúcio Cardoso quer desvendar, em profundidade, a condição humana, ele o faz dramatizando a relação do ser humano com a morte e com a sexualidade. Neste artigo, proponho uma leitura do diário de André (uma das narrativas da Crônica) com o objetivo de evidenciar as implicações da morte enquanto fator responsável por ditar, não só o andamento da trama de seu relato, mas também as experiências e os sentimentos que exprimem a condição humana no que ela tem de mais essencial e definitiva. Para isso, acompanho a história de paixão e de morte entre Nina e André à luz das noções de “experiência interior” e de “erotismo”, propostas por Georges Bataille, e de “comunidade dos amantes” que, inicialmente tratada por Bataille, vai ser retomada posteriormente por Jean-Luc Nancy e Maurice Blanchot.

Published: August 2022

Aim: This study aimed to map the level of mental health literacy (MHL) among young people aged 14 to 18 living in the Porto metropolitan area. Methods: A total of 847 young people participated in the study. A sociodemographic questionnaire and the Portuguese versions of the Mental Health Promoting Knowledge Scale (MHPK-10) and Mental Health Literacy Measure (MHLM) were used. As exclusion criteria, young people were not to have a confirmed pathology that would prevent them from reading and understanding the questions. To assess possible predictors of MHL in youth, multiple linear regression was used. Results: It was found that 75.65% of the sample had a score of four or more on the MHPK-10, and 71.97% had a score on the MHLM indicative of a level of LSM. Predictor variables of a higher level of LSM include being older (95%CIeducat ]1.12; 2.66[), and knowing someone with mental illness (95%CIknow ]0.45; 1.59[). Conclusion: According to the results, levels of LSM in the young population in Portugal are relatively high, with values denoting approximately 70% understanding.

Introdução: A sífilis é uma doença negligenciada na região de Goiás, mesmo sendo uma patologia recorrente na prática clínica desse município. Essa patologia caracteriza-se como uma infecção bacteriana causada pelo Treponema pallidum. Objetivo: Investigar a incidência e a prevalência na região de Goiás, buscando a promoção e a prevenção da saúde. Metodologia: Constitui-se como um estudo de revisão integrativa de literatura. O levantamento foi realizado de artigos entre os anos de 2014 a 2022. A busca dos artigos científicos foi realizada nas bases de dados LILACS, BVS, PUBMED e SCIELO. A amostra é composta por 12 artigos selecionados conforme os objetivos e os descritores. Resultados: Durante a análise vários fatores corroboram para a sífilis ser classificada como uma doença negligenciada, tais como: os fatores sociais, econômicos, culturais e comportamentais dos infectados. Além disso, a estrutura física precária, subnotificação, conhecimento deficiente por parte da população e dos profissionais, baixa adesão ao tratamento, difícil acesso aos testes rápidos em algumas áreas e entre outros também interferem na incidência da sífilis. Conclusão: Conforme os conhecimentos adquiridos durante a revisão sistemática, pode-se afirmar que medidas preventivas e de promoção de saúde são eficientes para o controle da Sífilis. Sendo assim, é perceptível que a falta de interesse do governo em aplicar tais medidas contribui para essa patologia continuar negligenciada no estado de Goiás

Factors Affecting Higher Education Teachers Performance
Authors: Abdulkarim Shilan Abdulrahman
Published: August 2022

Performance appraisal is a hot topic in HRM, IR, and organizational psychology. Performance appraisal in the higher education teachers has been studied, but in limited numbers. It's become more common for the Higher Education to use Western-style performance appraisal systems in recent years. Study: The goal of the study was to find out how performance reviews in higher education affect teachers' performance. Variables like management by goals, performance-based pay, and employee training had the biggest impact on employee performance. Competence and assessment also had an impact, but not as much as the other three performance appraisal systems (management by objectives, performance based pay, and employee training). According to this study, all teachers of a higher education should be properly trained in order for the higher education and all of its departments to work better. If you want a higher education to be more efficient, you should pay your workers based on their performance. The people in charge of the higher education teachers should also think about how well their teachers are able, how well they are being evaluated, and how well they are getting better. This study recommends that the higher education teachers take initiative to provide proper training to all teachers to improve the departmental performance. To improve efficiency in the higher education teachers, all teachers must be paid based on performance. The higher education teacher’s management should also consider the competence, assessment, and development of both internal and external teachers.

The COVID 19 pandemic causes a sudden change in human and organizational activities, especially the academic institutions. Yet, it offers an opportunity to re-engineer and restructure the roadmap of education to effectively and efficiently continue to perform the constitutional mandate of delivering quality and accessible education. Thus, a qualitative study of teaching cookery courses in a state-owned basic education institution was conducted to explore and describe the perspectives of teachers in modular learning. There were five (5) participants in the study selected using the data saturation sampling method. The main instrument of the study is the researcher using the interview method. The data were analyzed using the Colaizzi method of analyzing qualitative data. The findings revealed four (4) significant themes, including “Teachers’ challenges in preparing modules, “Challenges of teachers’ in the retrieval of the modules, “challenges of teachers in monitoring and communicating with students, and “teachers’ preparation of the modules. It causes many barriers and hindrances in the teaching and learning process, particularly in modular learning where teachers face difficulty in preparing, distributing, and retrieving modules and even communicating and monitoring with students. Thus, it causes physical, mental, and emotional fatigue to the teachers. It is recommended in the study that the government and academic institutions should hire more non-teaching personnel to prepare the modules and at the same must hire education experts for the development of the modules. Lastly, train and retrain teachers and faculty in human relations to improve handling and dealing with student issues and challenges.

Published: August 2022

This study examined the influence of successors’ socio-demographic characteristics on the performance of family-owned Small and Medium Enterprises. Probability sampling technique was employed to obtain sample of 219 successors. The hierarchical regression model and independent samples t-test were employed to test the study hypotheses. The findings of this study indicate that successors’ socio-demographic characteristics, that is, education and business experience have influence on performance of family-owned Small and Medium Enterprises and there is no statistical difference in performance in terms of profit between male and female successors. It was concluded that for performance of family-owned SMEs successor’s sex should not be a factor for consideration in selecting a successor in family-owned SMEs. For good performance of family business, successors’ socio-demographic characteristics mainly education and business experience should be given priority in succession plan. The paper recommends that, to reduce the reported high failure rate, family business founders should strengthen their successors’ socio-demographic characteristics, mainly education and business experience instead of building on sex as the only criteria for successors’ selection.

BSFB (Brinjal shoot and fruit borer) Lesinoides orbonalis is the most destructive insect for brinjal production. It reduces the value of market price. The experiment comprised eight (8) treatments including one untreated plot. The treatments comprised different rational combinations of mechanical control involving collection and destruction of infested plant parts, use of sex pheromone trap in the centre of the plot and at the canopy level and judicious application of Marshal 20 EC @ 2ml per litter of water based on adult monitoring or routine spray. The treatments differed among themselves in efficacy, and treatment that comprised pheromone trap placed at the plant canopy + mechanical control + spray of Marshal 20 EC @ 2ml per litter of water 2 days interval just from the flowering was adjudged showed significantly lower fruit infestation (different fruiting stage 6.43%, 13.70%, 8.90% respectively) compared to other treatments. Among all the treatment T3 (pheromone trap placed at the plant canopy + mechanical control + spray of Marshal 20 EC @ 2ml per litter of water 2 days interval just from the flowering) was the best option. This treatment also provided the highest benefit cost ratio (2.09) among all the treatments.

Published: August 2022

Throughout much of human history, we have developed technologies that make it easier for us to communicate with each other, and social media is one of such developments. More especially now, due to the lockdown policies introduced by the government as a means of curbing the spread of covid19 (a new coronavirus described in late 2019 after cases were reported in China), social media have been found very useful in exchanging or disseminating information such as breaking news, research findings, latest global trend on different issues, disaster outbreak, etc. The present research was designed to ascertain the role of social media on covid-19 awareness. A web survey issued randomly to 306 social media users was used to obtain the data. A descriptive content analysis was deployed to analyse the data using SPSS version 21. The result shows that though 108(35.30%) of the respondents are registered on Facebook, most agreed they look up Whatsapp for updates (ᵡ = 3.74). Also, the present study gives credence to the importance of social media as a means of information dissemination as the respondents agreed that they first heard about covid-19 on social media and that it is their major source of information (ᵡ = 4.10, 4.23), respectively. Due to the heavy dependence of the populace on information provided by social media, as indicated by the present findings, care needs be taken to ensure the accuracy of this information provided through social media.
Communication Registers of Online Students in the New Normal
Authors: A. Bustamante Jeson , P. Reyes Opalyn Jill , A. Prejoles Corazon
Published: August 2022

The COVID-19 pandemic has brought the shift to a new normal in the education aspect. With online learning, teachers resort to webinars, online classes, modular online classes, and other online educational platforms such as zoom and google classroom. In this time of the pandemic, the way the students transmit messages or communicate with their professors online has been changed compared to how they communicate during face-to-face classes. Communicating using these platforms necessitates that language be studied to find out whether there is a change of the level of formality students use in their spoken or written expressions. Using the Register and the Communication Theories, this descriptive study investigated the communication registers of online students in their messages sent to their professors through chat messenger, email, cellphone texts and other online apps.; the literal and deep structures expressed in the messages; and a listing of common lexicons used in various communication registers. Using content analysis, it was found out that the communication registers among students in this new normal include mostly online reaction signs sent casually. The casual messages carried deeper meanings with the most common lexicons as “Thank you”, “Good morning”, and “ma’am/madam/sir”. Therefore, the students can communicate freely online with a lesser level of formality to their professors and without the presence of physical, social, emotional, and psychological barriers. The study recommends that students communicate in other contexts like asking for help or showing appreciation; use other language registers such as frozen and intimate, aside from casual; communicate with their professors using proper writing mechanics such as capitalization, proper punctuation, and sentence structure; and use variety of lexicons instead of a repetitive use of same words, phrases, and expressions.

Los ranchos evaluados fueron seleccionados de un muestreo estratificado y uno aleatorio simple aplicado a cada grupo (alto, medio, bajo). Se estudiaron tres sistemas de manejo, el de becerro al destete, de doble propósito y de becerro al destete y engorda. Se realizó la evaluación del recurso suelo, calidad del agua y vegetación. Los indicadores que se utilizaron para la evaluación ecológica fueron, para el recurso suelo: pH, conductividad eléctrica, porcentaje de materia orgánica, nitrógeno, fósforo, sodio, potasio, calcio, magnesio, textura, densidad aparente, compactación, tipo de macro-fauna, lombrices, profundidad y abundancia de raíces y color del suelo; para el recurso agua: pH, conductividad eléctrica, sodio, potasio, calcio, magnesio, carbonatos, bicarbonatos, cloruros, sulfatos; para la vegetación: rendimiento, cobertura vegetal, especies vegetales para sombra de los animales, estratos vegetales, coloración vegetal y especies invasoras (animal/vegetal). De acuerdo con lo observado, es notable en los sistemas de manejo la falta de congruencia entre el uso y conservación de los recursos naturales como son agua, suelo y vegetación, lo cual requiere buscar alternativas de producción sustentable.

El mandato institucional del INIFAP (2018), es generar tecnologías agropecuarias y forestales para incrementar la productividad mediante la técnica de potencial productivo (PP). Se eligió al arroz por ser un cultivo importante en la dieta mexicana, además, existe un déficit en la producción de esta gramínea, el cual se subsana con importaciones que representan salida de divisas para México.  Los Distritos de Desarrollo Rural (DDR) de interés para el cultivo de arroz son: Cárdenas, Villahermosa y Emiliano Zapata (se tomó como ejemplo Cárdenas). Se consideraron dos tipos de potencial productivo: medio y alto. El objetivo del trabajo fue determinar el potencial productivo medio y alto para el cultivo del arroz cuantificado en miles de hectáreas para contribuir a la soberanía alimentaria del arroz en la canasta básica de los consumidores del país. El método para la determinación del potencial productivo se basó en la detección de tres categorías y nueve variables: i) clima (temperaturas máxima, media y mínima, y precipitación pluvial); ii) suelo (profundidad, textura y edafología) y iii) topografía (altitud y pendiente). Se identificaron con potencial productivo medio y alto, la cantidad de 257.9 miles de hectáreas susceptibles de ser sembradas. El principal DDR con potencial productivo alto fue Cárdenas con 69.7 % de la superficie que significan 74.5 miles de hectáreas de arroz. Finalmente, las detecciones de estas superficies agrícolas pueden ser incluidas dentro de los programas gubernamentales de apoyo a los productores arroceros y así incrementar sus niveles de ingreso para bienestar social.

El desarrollo de plantaciones forestales comerciales en México es una gran oportunidad para el sector forestal debido a las condiciones climáticas y edafológicas que presenta el país. El cultivo del hule (Hevea brasiliensis) como plantación forestal comercial ofrece muchos beneficios; sin embargo, no se ha desarrollado el potencial de este cultivo debido a diversos factores relacionados con el proceso productivo y a la falta de planeación para el mismo. En este trabajo se utiliza el método de análisis multicriterio y proceso de análisis jerarquizado para la zonificación de áreas potenciales óptimas para el establecimiento de plantaciones de hule en el estado de Oaxaca. La modelación se realizó a partir de los requerimientos edafoclimáticos de H. brasiliensis y ponderación de variables en un ambiente de Sistemas de Información Geográfica. Las jerarquías entre los criterios por ponderar se definieron con el apoyo de técnicos especializados y de agricultores relacionados con el cultivo del hule. Los resultados señalan que el criterio más importante para la modelación fue el clima con una ponderaciónde 0.30 en precipitación, seguido por las temperaturas (0.17). Con base en los principios del Análisis Multicriterio fue posible manifestar que en el desarrollo potencial óptimo de H. brasiliensis son determinantes los factores climáticos, edáficos y topográficos. El potencial óptimo para el cultivo del hule en el estado son los municipios de Matias Romero, Juan Lana, San Juan Bautista Tuxtepec, Santiago Jocotepec y Santiago Yaveo. Se espera que la metodología empleada sirva de base para aplicaciones similares con otras especies.

La resiliencia ecosistémica es una propiedad de las áreas naturales protegidas (ANP) que causa gran interés causa en la actualidad, dada sus relaciones con los regímenes de perturbación y el contexto del cambio climático. Sin embargo, no se cuenta con lineamientos contextualizados que permitan estimar y gestionar integralmente sus atributos dentro del ámbito rural. Por tanto, el objetivo de este estudio fue proponer una metodología para la gestión de la resiliencia ecosistémica de las ANP de Colombia a fin de hacer frente al cambio climático. Esta investigación teórica y exploratoria se fundamenta en una revisión sistemática de información bibliográfica y la experiencia de los autores en procesos de gestión territorial. Los resultados muestran una base conceptual de la temática con antecedentes clave y la propuesta metodológica integrada por cinco fases y 18 pasos consecutivos. La cual contempla cinco grandes ejes transversales: fundamentos legales, visión sistémica, enfoque participativo e inclusivo, así como sinergias institucionales, sectoriales y comunitarias. Con esta aproximación metodológica se espera aportar un marco de referencia que oriente la sostenibilidad de los sistemas naturales y el bienestar de las comunidades rurales asociadas.
Early Impairment of Right Ventricular Functions in Patients with Moderate Asthma and the Role of Isovolumic Acceleration
Authors: Karasu Betül Banu , Ayhan Hüseyin
Published: August 2022

Introduction: Asthma is a common chronic lung disease that affects people all over the world. Pulmonary hypertension and right ventricular (RV) dysfunction are possible complications that may develop in the advanced stages of asthma. However, the number of studies investigating asthma and its implications on new RV parameters are very rare. This study aims to evaluate the RV functions in patients with moderate asthma before the development of pulmonary hypertension.

Patients and Methods: Forty-one patients with moderate asthma and 40 healthy individuals were enrolled in this case-control study. All participants underwent a detailed two-dimensional echocardiographic examination. RV functions were measured through RV isovolumic acceleration (IVA) index in addition to conventional parameters. RV IVA, a tissue doppler derived parameter, was calculated as the ratio between maximum isovolumic myocardial velocity during isovolumic contraction and the time interval from the onset of this wave to the time at its maximum velocity.

Results: There were no significant differences between the two groups in terms of baseline clinical characteristics, laboratory findings and echocardiographic parameters measuring left ventricular functions (p> 0.05). In asthmatic patients, RV isovolumic relaxation time and RV myocardial performance index were higher (p= 0.027 and p<0.001 respectively), while RV fractional area change, tricuspid annular plane systolic excursion (TAPSE) and RV IVA values were all lower (p<0.001). RV IVA was found to be inversely proportional to asthma duration. TAPSE [β= 0.632, 95% CI= (0.121) - (0.225), p<0.001] and pulmonary artery systolic pressure [β= -0.188, 95% CI= (-0.057) - (-0.003), p= 0.032] were shown as independent predictors of RV IVA.

Conclusion: Asthma is an important disease that may result in subclinical RV dysfunction even before the development of pulmonary hypertension. RV IVA, an easily obtained and load-independent parameter, may be a useful and reliable index that sensitively analyzes subtle deteriorations in the contractile function of RV in asthmatic patients. RV IVA may also correlate with asthma duration.

Introduction: Phoenix Dactylifera L (PDL) is a fruit containing a rich source of nutrients and bioactive molecules. Doxorubicin is a widely used agent, especially in the treatment of solid cancers. However, cardiotoxicity is one of its most challenging side effects. The present study aimed to investigate the preventive effect of PDL extract against doxorubicin-induced cardiotoxicity.

Patients and Methods: A total of 24 albino Wistar rats were divided into four equal groups. Phoenix Dactylifera L (PDLG) and Phoenix Dactylifera L + doxorubicin (PDXG) groups were strictly fed PDL for two weeks. The control group (CG) and the doxorubicin group (DOXG) were fed a standard diet. During this time, 5 mg/kg of doxorubicin was injected intraperitoneally to DOXG and PDXG once a day.

Results: Administration of doxorubicin to the DOXG significantly increased tissue oxidative stress parameters and caused the cardiac biomarker troponin-I (TP-I) to be released into the circulation; on the contrary, the levels of potent antioxidants such as total glutathione, superoxide dismutase, and catalase significantly decreased in DOXG compared to the other three groups. However, feeding purely with PDL decreased oxidative stress parameters and TP-I levels in PDXG animals, despite exposure to doxorubicin. Additionally, an excessive decrease of tissue antioxidants was prevented when compared to the DOXG. Histopathological damage signs, such as necrosis and hemorrhage, were severe in the DOXG. However, in the PDXG animals, feeding with PDL provided the integrity of the heart tissue structure.

Conclusion: PDL was able to improve the cardiotoxic consequences of doxorubicin biochemically and histopathologically, possibly due to its antioxidant properties.
