Unravelling the Enigma of Highly Superior Autobiographical Memory: Signs, Symptoms and Treatment Perspectives: A Narrative Review
Authors: Wani Rohit , Sapkale Bhagyesh , Meshram Supriya , Gedam Sachin R
Published: January 2025

Highly Superior Autobiographical Memory (HSAM) is an extremely rare phenomenon characterised by an exceptional ability to recall personal life events vividly. The present review article explores the unique characteristics of HSAM that distinguish it from other memory phenomena, such as mnemonics. Currently listed on the global diagnosis list up to 2024, with only 62 documented cases, HSAM presents a fascinating cognitive and neurological complexity, including increased functional connectivity within some brain regions, particularly the left temporoparietal junction. Typically, individuals with HSAM exhibit very vivid recollections of both significant and mundane events, which they cannot control or intentionally suppress. The article also reviews some possible psychological and biological substrates of HSAM; among these, semantic processing and atypical neurodevelopment are of particular importance. The overlap between HSAM and conditions such as autism is also discussed, as they might share features such as compulsive fixations on dates and an inability to “get over” bad memories. While the mechanism by which certain treatments become effective for HSAM is poorly understood, the use of interventions such as deep brain stimulation or cognitivebehavioural therapy may be warranted. This review calls for more research, hoping to stimulate interest in therapeutic interventions designed for patients with HSAM, ultimately leading to a greater understanding of this intriguing cognitive phenomenon.
Facial Anthropometry and Self-expressed Behaviours: A Systematic Review
Authors: Srivastava Ankit , Chimurkar Vilas , Pandey Nisha Mani , Bihari Anand
Published: January 2025

Introduction: Facial anthropometry is a systematic technique based on a series of measurements and proportions of the face. It is useful for identifying a person’s self-expressed behaviours (physiognomic evaluation). Previous research on humans and non human primates has revealed an association between the facial Width-to-Height Ratio (fWHR) and various traits, including achievement drive, aggression, unethical behaviour and dominance. Additionally, facial symmetry has been significantly associated with the Big Five personality factors, which encompass traits such as averageness, truthfulness, judgment and youthfulness.

Aim: To assess the association of facial measurements with self-expressed behaviours and to determine how strongly these behaviours correlate with facial measurements.

Materials and Methods: A PubMed database search was performed using the following keywords: Behaviour* OR Threat* OR Aggress* OR trait* OR Socia* AND Personality Mesh term and fWHR OR Facial* AND Anthropometry Mesh term. The eligibility criteria for including studies were: selection of primary data, English language and facial anthropometric measurements (fWHR, bizygomatic width, forehead length, forehead width, forehead slant, facial index and upper facial index) related to self-expressed or actual behaviour in humans and monkeys. After applying the eligibility criteria, 340 articles published between 2004 and 2022 were identified, of which 17 articles/studies were found relevant for the results analysis. The identified titles and abstracts were screened independently by two authors and studies that mentioned facial anthropometry in relation to self-expressed behaviour or personality in humans and monkeys were included.

Results: This review describes the statistical results and conclusions of 17 studies regarding different behaviours and their relation to facial anthropometry. A meta-analysis of four studies involving a total of 236 subjects was conducted, with weighted assignments to each study ranging from 8.4 to 25.8%. The correlation coefficients from individual studies ranged between 0.38 and 0.53, except for one study, which showed a negative correlation of -0.40. The overall coefficient across all studies was r=0.37, 95% Confidence Interval (CI) (0.27, 0.47), p <0.01, indicating a moderate positive correlation.

Conclusion: The data from various populations in present review support the hypothesis that facial structures are important biological markers for assessing behaviours or personality traits. The findings of present review provide new insights for future research in the fields of behavioural medicine and computational face recognition.

Why is meiosis different from mitosis
Authors: Bogdanov Yuri
Published: January 2025

Meiosis was existing already in the last eukaryotic common ancestor (LECA). During evolution and transition from the first eukaryotic ancestor to LECA, a whole complex of genes was formed in the genome of the latter (about 300 genes), which provided the process of meiotic division. This is only a few percent of the genome, but these genes significantly changed the course of cell division, and meiosis arose. The paper describes the features of meiosis and possible ways of its formation.
Cretaceous elasmosaurid plesiosaurs of Russia
Authors: Zverkov N. G.
Published: January 2025

Plesiosaurs of the family Elasmosauridae are widely known for their long necks with a record number of vertebrae. Currently, many genera and species of elasmosaurids are known: from small to gigantic, from super-long-necked to secondarily short-necked. Elasmosaurid remains have been described from all regions of the world and are often found in Cretaceous deposits of Russia. Some historical finds from Russia were described as new species, but did not receive recognition in subsequent research. New finds of elasmosaurids from Russia shed light on the taxonomic diversity and evolutionary history of this family in Eurasia.

Authors: T S Asif Ali , Santhosh Aiswarya Velekat , M Venkatesh
Published: January 2025

Aims: The aim of the study is to find the effect of chitosan-based edible films on the sensory and microbiological characteristics of ready-to-eat paneer during storage at ambient and refrigeration temperature.
Study Design:  This study was experimental and conducted in a lab.
Place and Duration of Study: The study was conducted at the Department of Dairy Technology, Dairy Science College, Hebbal, Bengaluru, Karnataka, India, between October 2022 and July 2023.
Methodology: The ready to eat paneer prepared with 5 % fructooligosaccharides, 40 % sugar and 15 % orange juice will be aseptically wrapped with chitosan based edible film made of 1.5% chitosan and 0.75% glycerol. The product will be analysed at both ambient temperature (27±1°C) with 1days interval and refrigeration temperature (4±1°C) with 3 days interval. Sensory analysis by 9-point hedonic scale and microbial analysis of standard plate count, coliforms count, yeast and mold count were assessed. ANOVA was the method used for statistical analysis, and the significance between the control and sample was assessed using a critical difference (CD) at a 5% significance level.
Results: The sensory attributes ratings of the control paneer and edible chitosan film packed ready to eat paneer samples are non-significant (P>0.05) to each other and decreased consistently throughout storage at both conditions. Throughout storage, the coliform count was undetectable. The initial yeast and mold count of the chitosan film-packed ready-to-eat paneer was 0.48 log₁₀ cfu/g, and the standard plate count was 2.30 log₁₀ cfu/g. Both counts increased during storage but remained significantly (P<0.05) lower than those in the control paneer.
Conclusion: The storage studies revealed that control paneer can be stored for 1 days at ambient temperature and 6 days at refrigeration temperature without any spoilage and chitosan film packed ready to eat paneer can be stored for 2 days at ambient temperature and 9 days at refrigeration temperature without any spoilage.
The Psychology and Psychopathology of Ultrarunning: Mental Health and Psychiatric Insights into Extreme Endurance Athletes
Authors: Thornton Owen R. , Li Wenjun
Published: January 2025

Ultrarunning, characterized by covering distances beyond the standard 42.195 km marathon, has emerged as a compelling model for exploring the interplay between extreme endurance performance and mental health. Recent ultrarunning psychology research underscores that these athletes often possess remarkable mental toughness, emotional intelligence, and self-efficacy. However, they are also at heightened risk for psychopathological issues such as depression, anxiety, obsessive-compulsive tendencies, disordered eating, exercise addiction, and sleep disturbances. While participating in ultramarathons can yield psychological benefits—enhanced mood regulation, cognitive clarity, flow states, and a strong sense of community—there remain significant concerns about overtraining syndrome, chronic fatigue, and motivational maladjustments. This review synthesizes current scholarly findings, including systematic reviews and meta-analyses, to provide actionable insights for clinicians, coaches, and researchers. Understanding the nuanced relationship between ultrarunning and psychopathology is paramount for developing targeted mental health interventions, promoting athlete well-being, and informing evidence-based training practices.

Authors: Mosconi Julia Backes , Ferrari Helena Irene , Bremm Laerte Luiz , Hoshi Adriano Tomio
Published: January 2025

Aims: Regional Odontodysplasia is a dental anomaly with an unknown, non-hereditary etiology, which affects the dental tissues of both dentitions and commonly affects only one quadrant. When it affects multiple quadrants and goes beyond the midline, it is called Generalized Odontodysplasia.
Presentation of Case: This case report is of a patient diagnosed with Generalized Odontodysplasia and followed for 19 years from diagnosis to treatment. The patient presented to the dental office with changes in the shape and absence of some upper and lower teeth. The pathology was diagnosed by combining clinical findings and complementary tests, such as radiographic examination and histopathological analysis. The treatment involved several specialties.
Discussion: The treatment of Generalized Odontodysplasia depends on each case, taking into account age, extent of involvement and patient and family expectations. After pubertal growth is complete, rehabilitation with definitive implants can be considered.
Conclusion: When diagnosed early, it is possible to have good results with oral rehabilitation in patients with Generalized Odontodysplasia.

Authors: Trindade Andrei Machado Viegas , Rezende Leonardo Pinheiro , Júnior Cícero Antônio Dos Santos , Batista Elias Santos Coimbra , Garcia Fernanda Ribeiro , Camargo Gabriel Souza , Parreira Rodolfo Borges , Oliveira Cláudia Santos
Published: January 2025

Aims: To identify the biomechanical differences between two types of prostheses (posterior-stabilized prosthesis with a fixed tibial plateau base and congruent prosthesis with a rotating tibial plateau) through functional performance measured by the 2-Minute Walk Test using the G-Sensor® inertial sensor (BTS Bioengineering S.p.A., Italy).
Study Design: A prospective, observational, and comparative study with assessments conducted at two time points: 12 to 24 months after surgery.
Place and Duration of Study: This study was carried out in a tertiary hospital in collaboration with a private university in the state of Goiás, Brazil, between March 2022 and December 2024.
Methodology: This study evaluates and compares the functional performance of a sample of 36 patients using the 2-Minute Walk Test (2MWT) with an inertial sensor at two distinct time points, 12 to 24 months postoperatively. Patients were characterized by age, sex, BMI, postoperative time, laterality of the operated knee, and type of prosthesis used (fixed plateau or mobile plateau).
Results: The study included 36 participants (21 women and 15 men; mean age 69.38 years, BMI 30.46), with 24 undergoing right knee arthroplasty. Half received fixed, and half rotated tibial plateau prostheses. Postoperative assessments at 17.31 and 42.80 months showed no significant differences in gait parameters between prosthesis types or sides. Pearson’s correlation revealed a strong negative relationship between test duration, cadence, and speed for rotating prostheses (r = -0.67/-0.66, P =.001) and between duration and speed for fixed prostheses (r = -0.8, P<.001).
Conclusion: This study found no significant functional differences between fixed and rotating tibial plateau prostheses using the 2-Minute Walk Test. Both implants effectively restored knee mobility, emphasizing the utility of inertial sensors for clinical assessment. Further research with larger samples is needed to confirm these findings.

Authors: Cahyaningtyas Asri Kusuma , Zakariya Jaki , Fahrozi Muhammad Aldi , Hazim Muhammad Syafiq , Ariqah Yulia Khalna
Published: January 2025

Acetone is an essential ingredient in various industries whose demand continues to increase, thus requiring an efficient production method. This study aims to design an acetone production process by dehydrogenating isopropyl alcohol using Aspen HYSYS simulation and Aspen Energy Analyzer energy analysis. The simulation model was developed to enhance the purity of acetone products and improve energy efficiency by optimizing thermodynamic operating conditions. The dehydrogenation process was designed to produce acetone as the main product and hydrogen as a by-product. The basic process was then modified by integrating thermal energy and increasing the reactor operating temperature to improve energy efficiency and product purity. Simulations showed that the process modification resulted in an acetone purity of 99.76%, higher than the base process of 98.46%. In addition, energy savings in the modified process reached 40.89%, higher than the base process of 32.96%, with a reduction in carbon emissions of up to 40.88%. With these results, the modified process proved more efficient than the basic process and aligned with the research objectives.

A Survey On Inventory Model With Lost-Sale
Authors: P Sindu Mathew , P Beena
Published: January 2025

Classic inventory models commonly assume that surplus demand is backordered. However, research analysing
customer behaviour in practice demonstrate that in many retail situations, unsatisfied demand is lost or replaced
with an alternative item/location. Inventory systems with this lost-sales characteristic appear to be more
challenging to analyse and resolve. Furthermore, to save costs, lost-sales inventory systems require different replenishment procedures than backorder systems. In this work, we present a survey on inventory models with lost sales. Furthermore, directions for future investigation are suggested
Liberating The Victorian Woman: Education And Marriage In Charlotte Brontë’s Jane Eyre
Authors: Krampah Hawa
Published: January 2025

The Victorian era (1837-1901) is marked by rapid industrialization and moral conservatism, imposed strict
expectations on women, confining them to domestic roles and limiting access to formal education and
intellectual pursuits. Motivated by the systematic limitations placed on women’s intellectual and social
development during this era, this study explores Brontë’s portrayal of the protagonist, Jane Eyre, as a figure of
resistance against restrictive gender norms. In this paper, I have discussed the place of women in Education
and Marriage during the Victorian era and the 19th century . The paper employs a socio-literary analysis to
examine the portrayal of the role of women in education and marriage during the Victorian period through the
lens of Charlotte Brontë's novel Jane Eyre. In this paper, I have shed more lights on how Brontë challenges the
prevailing ideologies of her time, particularly through Jane’s pursuit of intellectual and personal autonomy in
defiance of societal expectations that limited women to domestic roles. Jane Eyre advocates for progressive
reform by portraying education as a vehicle for women’s empowerment and by redefining marriage as a
partnership based on equality and mutual respect. By redefining marriage as a union of equals, the novel promotes gender equity, demonstrating the importance of legal and social reforms to promote gender equity and inclusion in all sectors of life.

L’enseignement Des Langues Nationales Au Togo : Necessité De Changer De Paradigmes
Authors: Yoma Takougnadi
Published: January 2025

Pour mettre en œuvre sa réforme de l’éducation de 1975, le gouvernement togolais a introduit, depuis 1977, le
kabiyè et l’éwé dans son système éducatif comme langues de transmission du savoir. Cette politique linguistique
qui visait la démocratisation du savoir a tant suscité de l’espoir au Togo. Mais aujourd’hui, au regard des
résultats peu probants obtenus dans les établissements scolaires, l’on est en droit de s’interroger sur les réelles
causes de l’échec d’une politique linguistique assez novatrice et promotrice de langues locales en son temps. La
présente communication entend donc analyser les pesanteurs sociales et linguistiques à l’origine de cet échec et
apporter une réflexion sur les paradigmes à considérer pour inverser la tendance actuelle afin de faire de ces
langues nationales de véritables supports de transmission des savoirs et savoir-faire à la jeunesse togolaise. Cette
contribution s’inscrit dans la logique de la linguistique du développement (Métangmo-Tatou, 2019 ; Agresti,
2019; Zouogbo, 2022) qui se veut une approche au service du développement social et économique des locuteurs
des langues décrites. Elle s’appuie également sur une enquête de terrain faite dans les établissements de la
direction régionale de l’éducation de la Kara. Cette enquête a abouti à des résultats qui mettent, entre autres, en
relief l’insuffisance du volume hebdomadaire consacré aux langues nationales, un désintérêt des apprenants pour leur apprentissage, etc. et préconisent une révision des politiques linguistiques et éducatives du pays.

Stress Across The Adult Lifespan: Variations In Coping Styles And Effectiveness
Authors: Arora Aishwarya , Nathawat Dr. Sneha
Published: January 2025

Background: This study investigates the level of stress and most frequently used coping style in adulthood.
Objective: The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the stress level on both working and studying males
and females separately. To study the coping styles used most frequently in working and studying males and
females separately.
Method: This study adopts a cross-sectional design. The participation pool comprises of 120 adults (60 males
and 60 females) between 20 to 30 years. Which is divided in 30 males working, 30 males studying, 30 females
working and 30 females studying.
Results: The ANOVA results indicate that there are no significant differences in stress levels among the groups,
as evidenced by an F-value of 0.407 and a P-value of 0.748, leading us to fail to reject the null hypothesis. In
contrast, there are significant differences in coping strategies, with a between-group F-value of 3.83 and a Pvalue of 0.01, indicating at least one group uses a notably different coping strategy. Additionally, a high F-value
of 19.45 and a P-value of 0.00 suggest that some coping strategies are used more frequently than others. However,
the interaction effect shows an F-value of 0.94 and a P-value of 0.58, implying that group membership does not
significantly influence the choice of coping strategies. Specifically, Group A1 (Working Females) predominantly
uses Active Coping (8.95%), while Group A2 (Studying Females) prefers Acceptance (9.11%). Both Group B1
(Working Males) and Group B2 (Studying Males) identify Planning as their primary strategy, with Group B1
using it 9.27% of the time compared to 8.84% for Group B2.
Conclusion: Variations in coping strategies were observed, these differences reflected distinct patterns across groups rather than any significant influence of group membership on coping style selection.
Analyzing The Economic Impact Of Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership On Trade Flow And Growth Outcomes In The Asia Pacific Region
Authors: Cobbinah Janet
Published: January 2025

The Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership (RCEP) represents a transformative step in global trade,
uniting 15 Asia-Pacific nations in the largest trade agreement by GDP and population. This study investigates
RCEP's impact on trade flows and economic growth within its member states. Drawing on Economic
Integration Theory and panel regression analysis, the study used data from 2010 to 2023 to examines how trade
liberalization, reduced barriers, and harmonized rules of origin enhance intra-regional trade. Using regression
analysis on trade volumes, GDP growth, and foreign direct investment (FDI), the findings reveal that exports
significantly drive economic growth, while trade imbalances and over-reliance on imports present challenges.
Furthermore, cross-sectional dependence highlights the integrated nature of RCEP economies. This research underscores the need for balanced trade policies, equitable benefits for smaller economies, and domestic capacity-building to maximize RCEP's potential.

The Impact Of Using Social Media On Improving English Listening Skills Among Students At Dong Nai University
Authors: Phuong Nguyen Thi Ha , You Lee So , Huy Tran Duc , Nam Nguyen Thanh
Published: January 2025

Improving listening skills is a serious concern for students at Dong Nai University (DNU) as it is one on the
four skills that they find the most difficult and that they have to study during four years. Therefore, this research
was carried out to investigate the impact of using social media on helping students at DNU improve their
English listening skills. The participants involved in this research were 94 DNU students from freshmen to final
year students to collect data on using social media habits and self-perceived English listening abilities. The aim
of this research is to find out that students who use social media to watch English videos, listen to news, songs … in English at least one or two hours per day can improve listening skills, gain more knowledge, vocabulary
and grammar in everyday conversations and have a better ability to learn English with native speakers.
Listening skills enhancement through social media under the guidance of the teacher or on students’ own
promotes their learning because they can get accessed to a wide variety of materials which are suitable for
their levels. Additionally, these students reported that they had greater confidence in understanding academic
lectures and following English-language media content. Especially, their exposure to authentic English speech
patterns, accents, and content via social media boosts real-world listening skills. Thus, within the limitations of
this study, social media activities appear beneficial as supplementary tools when blended with traditional
classroom instructions in enhancing English listening skills among DNU students. The study provides
preliminary evidence that educational use of social media can effectively help students develop listening skills needed for academic and professional success. Further research is recommended to give support for the promising patterns observed here.
Ethics, Law, And Life: Comparative Insights On Abortion Legislation
Authors: Shafy A A
Published: January 2025

The primary objective of this research is to provide a comprehensive understanding of abortion through the lenses
of medicine, ethics, religion, and law. Each perspective offers unique insights that, when combined, present a
holistic view of the challenges and considerations surrounding abortion. This multi-disciplinary approach is
essential to address the complexities of abortion, which transcends individual fields and affects public health,
societal norms, and legal systems globally.
From a medical perspective, the study aims to highlight the procedures, risks, and benefits associated with
abortion, including its role in safeguarding maternal health. Modern medicine has significantly improved the
safety and accessibility of abortion services, yet these advancements are not uniformly available due to legal and
cultural constraints. Understanding the medical aspects, therefore, forms the foundation for analysing the
broader implications of abortion laws and policies.
Ethically, abortion raises profound questions about autonomy, rights, and responsibilities. The principle of
autonomy underscores the right of individuals to make informed decisions about their bodies and reproductive
choices. However, this is often counterbalanced by societal or legal considerations of the rights of the foetus,
especially in contexts where life is believed to begin at conception or ensoulment. The research explores these
tensions, particularly how ethical frameworks influence or are influenced by legal and religious doctrines.
Religious perspectives on abortion are equally diverse and significant. The Abrahamic religions—Judaism,
Christianity, and Islam—provide contrasting interpretations of the permissibility of abortion. These
interpretations often influence personal beliefs and state policies, particularly in regions where religion is a
dominant cultural force. This study aims to examine these religious viewpoints, their doctrinal origins, and their
practical implications for abortion law and ethics.
Finally, the legal dimension focuses on how different jurisdictions regulate abortion, balancing individual rights
with societal interests. The study delves into the role of constitutional principles, legislative frameworks, and judicial precedents in shaping abortion laws. It also considers the impact of legal restrictions on access to safe abortion services and the broader implications for public health and gender equality

William Shakespeare’s “The Merchant of Venice”, set in a Venetian patriarchal society, presents female
struggles and limitations under the masculine shadow through the female characters such as; both Portia and
Nerissa. While navigating in the male dominated world, the female characters challenge and subvert the concept
of traditional gender roles (Russin, 2013). Disguising as a lawyer and clerk, both Portia and Nerissa outsmart
the male characters in the court to save Antonio’s life from Shylock’s desire of a flesh bond. This win challenges
the norms of a patriarchal society which ignore the capability of women. Though the play explores female
empowerment related themes, it also confirms the patriarchal structures. The denouement, as marked by
Graziano and Bassanio’s ring which symbolizes male authority and women characters’ willingness to go back to
being household wives, shows the limitations of female autonomy in a male-dominated world despite the fact that
they had temporally gained power and control. This paper aims to explore the illusion of women empowerment
and the tension between the feminist elements of “The Merchant of Venice” and its conformation to social conventional gender norms, by providing a detailed perspective on Shakespeare’s critique on social power dynamics.

The institute of personal and photographic identification is provided for in Articles 226 to 228 of the Brazilian
Code of Criminal Procedure as a means of evidence aimed at identifying individuals or objects involved in or
originating from criminal activities. However, the judiciary has been issuing numerous convictions based
exclusively and solely on identification, which has been the subject of decisions by the Federal Supreme Court
and the Superior Court of Justice, questioning the constitutionality of such convictions. With this in mind, the
primary objective of this article is to conduct a documentary and bibliographic analysis of the failures in
photographic and personal identification in Brazil's criminal justice system. For this purpose, it is a documentary
and bibliographic study with a qualitative, descriptive, exploratory, and deductive approach, taking into account
literature already published in articles, journals, and websites addressing the subject matter. The results revealed
that errors in personal and photographic identification during the inquisitorial phase of a crime can have
consequences that go beyond incarceration, resulting in a profound loss of dignity and humanity for these
defendants who, in reality, are the victims. In addition to the shocking consequences presented in the cited cases,
it is evident that there is a failure to observe the legally prescribed procedures for gathering evidence. Thus, it can be concluded that personal and photographic identification, as the sole and isolated indication of authorship, is insufficient to justify a preventive detention order.
The Relationship between Perceived Benefits, Barriers, Social Support and Intention to Seek Mental Health Counseling Services among University Students
Authors: Aligawesa Alice J
Published: January 2025

Background: Mental health issues are a growing concern among university students worldwide. In Tanzania,
the cultural context, awareness, and accessibility of mental health counseling services (MHCS) play a
significant role in shaping students' intentions to seek help. Despite the prevalence of the challenges and
availability of counseling services, studies reported that utilization of such services is very low. This study
investigates how perceived benefits, barriers, and social support influence university students' intentions to seek
MHCS.
Methods: This quantitative study employed a correlational research design and was conducted among
undergraduate students from two public universities in Tanzania. A sample of 385 students was recruited
through an online survey distributed via Whatsap groups. Data were analysed using descriptive, independent
sample t-tests, correlation, and multiple regression analysis.
Results: Majority of participants (84.94%) reported a high level of intention to seek MHCS, while 15.06% had
a low level of intention. Gender differences were significant, with female students showing a higher mean
intention score (M = 2.08, SD = 1.02) compared to male students (M = 1.84, SD = 0.91). Perceived benefits (r = .66, p < .001) and social support (r = .20, p < .001) were positively correlated with the intention to seek
MHCS, whereas perceived barriers showed a significant negative correlation (r = -.22, p < .001). Multiple
regression analysis revealed that perceived benefits were the strongest predictor of intention to seek MHCS (β = .61, p = .001), followed by perceived barriers (negative predictor, β = -.13, p = .003) and social support (β =
.11, p = .012).
Conclusion: Enhancing awareness of the benefits of counseling and addressing barriers can significantly
promote intention to seek counseling services. Although social support is a smaller predictor, fostering
supportive networks remains crucial. These findings provide valuable insights for designing effective mental
health support strategies within Tanzanian universities. University administrators and mental health
practitioners should focus on increasing awareness about the benefits of MHCS, addressing perceived barriers
to access, and fostering a supportive environment to encourage students to seek necessary mental health support. This approach will contribute to better mental health outcomes and overall well-being among university students in Tanzania.

The great potential of the tourism sector if collaborated with the quail-based culinary industry will increase the
potential for new economic opportunities and will directly increase new jobs and will give an impact on
Indonesia's economic growth which in 2023 has reached 5.05%. Based on BPS data (2023), the number of
accommodation businesses in Indonesia was 29,005 businesses, 15% of them are starred hotels. In the hotel
business, the culinary business is one of the sources of income. This is an opportunity for quail-based food
products to be used as raw materials for culinary processing in hotels. The purpose of this study is to determine
the circular economy of quail farming for culinary product innovation-based quail for developing the culinary
and tourism industry in Indonesia. This study uses a descriptive method through literature studies. The results of
the study showed that quail, besides having the advantage of a delicious taste to be used as a culinary
ingredient, also has other advantages including: 1) having a high nutritional content; 2) easy to cultivate; and
3) having a unique and versatile taste in various dishes. Quail farming has a lot of potential to support circular
economic practices, including: 1) Utilization of Quail Manure: 2) Eggshell Waste Processing: 3) Utilization of
Quail Carcasses or Remains: and 4) Renewable Energy: 5) Edu-Farm Tourism. Innovation in product
packaging and marketing can also increase the selling value of quail products, especially among young
consumers who prefer practical and healthy food products. The export potential of quail products is also
increasing with the increasing demand in the international market, especially in Asia and Europe. This will encourage the development of culinary products in supporting the Indonesian tourism industry.
West Africa And The Challenges Of Regional Integration: Lessons From The Brexit
Authors: George Enemi Alabo
Published: January 2025

The study examined regional integration in West Africa: lessons from the Brexit experience. The notion that deeper
regional integration in the West African sub-region can bring lasting development and stability to the region has
become a staple idea shared by many regionalists and scholars. The success of the European Union tends to give
credence to this notion. Despite the success recorded by the EU, Britain a strong member left the Union. The
major assumption of this study is that there are some veritable lessons that a sub-regional organization like
ECOWAS can learn from the European integration and Brexit in its effort to achieve deeper integration. The study
adopted functionalism as the theoretical framework. The study employed a secondary method of data collection
and a qualitative descriptive analysis method was used to conclude the relations between variables. Findings
from the study revealed that factors like corruption, armed conflicts, colonial experience, language barrier, and
debt crisis in the region have hindered both development and integration in the West African sub-region. The
study also showed that ECOWAS has a lesson to learn from the concerns raised by Britons which made Britain
leave the EU. The factors that necessitated Brexit include the issue of unabated mass migration into the union,
over assertiveness of Germany, insecurity, loss of border control and sovereignty, and economic hardship. The
study recommended that ECOWAS should endeavour to arrest the challenges that have hindered its development
and integration before considering deeper integration. This is because the current condition of the region may not favour deeper integration. It must among other things fashion out means to curb the poverty in the region so that the community will not be a mere conglomeration of weak nations in alliance.
