Published: February 2025

Chemical-induced mammary cancer models are widely used to mimic human breast carcinogenesis, with 7,12-dimethylbenz[a]anthracene (DMBA) being a commonly used agent. The oral administration of DMBA frequently results in the formation of tumors at random locations and carries significant risks, including high mortality rates and damage to various organs. To address these issues, this study employed a subcutaneous DMBA administration protocol to induce mammary cancer in rats. A total of twenty-four female Sprague-Dawley rats aged 45-55 days weighing 112-130 g were divided into four groups, including the control group injected with 0.75 mL corn oil (D0), a single dose of DMBA at 80 mg/kg BW (D1), two doses with a one-week interval (D2), and three doses with one-week intervals (D3), all administered via subcutaneous in mammary fat pad. Control groups (D0) did not show any tumor growth. Mammary tumor incidence increased with dosage (D1 33.33%, D2 66.67%, and D3 100%). Histopathological examination revealed the presence of various mammary tumor types without evidence of metastasis in all induced rats. All tumors originated from the injection site, and only a single nodule was observed in each rat. There were no significant differences in tumor grades between the treatment groups, and no mortality was recorded during the study. The D3 group showed the highest tumor incidence over the three-month observation period. These findings suggest that subcutaneous DMBA administration effectively induces mammary cancer in rat models with controlled tumor localization and minimal systemic effects, making it a promising method for experimental breast cancer studies.

Published: February 2025

This study explores the effect of co-branding on the purchase intention of collaboration products between Somethinc and Bittersweet by Najla, focusing on perceived value and customer attitude. Using a quantitative approach with data analyzed via PLS-SEM through the SmartPLS 3.2.9 application, the research involved 385 respondents who use Somethinc products. The study supports seven hypotheses regarding investigates how co-branding influences the intention to purchase. Findings indicate that the compatibility of products and brands in co-branding significantly influences consumer purchase intention. Co-branding also positively affects perceived value, with better co-branding leading to higher perceived value among consumers. Additionally, co-branding impacts customer attitude, and both perceived value and customer attitude significantly affect purchase intention for collaboration products. Notably, the direct effect of co-branding on intention to purchase is smaller than the indirect effect through perceived value and customer attitude. This highlights that perceived value and customer attitude are strong intervening variables that moderate the effect of co-branding on intention to purchase. This research provides an understanding that co-branding for different product categories must have compatibility in products, brands, and promotions to target the same segment, so as to increase consumer perceived value and consumer attitudes towards collaboration products, thus influencing consumers to be interested in buying collaboration products.

The Influence of Job Alienation on Financial Performance, the Mediating Effect of Governance: A Study on the Lebanese Banking Sector
Authors: Salloukh Hussein , Younis Joumana , Al-Mousawi Hasan , Zeid Nader Abou
Published: February 2025

Job alienation decreases employee engagement and productivity and negatively affects financial performance. This problem is critical in the Lebanese banking sector, where governance ensures competitiveness and sustainability. This research explores job alienation and its impact on governance and the financial performance of Lebanese banking institutions. Governance evades financial losses due to employee disengagement. Inspired by Karl Marx’s work, the framework of this research explores the role that governance plays when it is a mediating variable in transmitting the effect of job alienation on financial performance. This research utilizes a quantitative approach based on a survey conducted on employees and managers of banks operating in Lebanon. The sample includes 300 respondents from different departments. The researchers constructed a questionnaire based on a deductive approach to measure variables. They assessed the relationship between the variables using structural equation modeling (SEM). The research rendered worthwhile results, mainly that job alienation has a direct influence on financial performance. Governance mediates and alleviates the relationship between constructs. Banks with effective governance can overcome the impacts of job alienation, resulting in stable financial performance. This research bridges a gap in the literature relevant to the relationship between variables in the banking sector. Banks should implement recognition policies to monitor and reduce job alienation. This research equips bank managers with actionable insights to promote ethical and transparent practices, enhancing employee trust.

THE HEBRA THAT BROKE” The untold story in the collective memory of Chi Metztli women through their embroidery in Arroyo Cumiapa San Luis Acatlán Guerrero
Authors: Boleaga Ocampo Paola Isabel
Published: February 2025

Violence against women has its roots in culture and in the way it is socially structured, where the exclusion of women is evident through unequal opportunities and the sexual division of labor.Although it is true that the different ways of being a woman in the indigenous world are shaped by the particular gender constructions of the peoples to which they belong, it is important to identify the influence that globalization imposes on them in this context, since it has brought about “the feminization of poverty”.Immersed in this multi-violence, they have endured in silence the crises of a world that has excluded them and then forgotten them. Their art, based on stitches and colors, has changed after the onslaught of the pandemic, natural, economic and cultural crises that are shaking the world; the production of their textile arts has taken a back seat in this technological and rapacious era. Their embroidered stories, their ancestral materials no longer make sense to the new generations, and if that were not enough, on top of all this, the powers that be have invaded their territories, their plots of land, effectively silencing their voices when it comes to embroidery. Because there are stories that they simply do not wish to remember. Their commissioned work tells an imaginary story that is told to them and imposed on them by someone else, totally alien to their cosmogony and locality.
Jarocha's costume and the search for a Mexican identity between the Porfiriato and the post-revolution
Authors: Torales Hueto Sandra
Published: February 2025

The study examined the construction of Mexican identity from the 19th to the 20th century, highlighting its evolution in the context of the Porfiriato and the post-revolution. In its first decades as an independent nation, Mexico faced political and economic instability, but simultaneously began the search for a national identity. During the Porfiriato, the idea of a Mexican art based on pre-Hispanic and viceregal roots was promoted, while the contemporary indigenous community was marginalized under racist theories such as social Darwinism. Intellectuals such as Francisco Bulnes and Justo Sierra justified the exclusion of indigenous people, promoting modernization through cultural assimilation and whitening.In the post-revolutionary period, Mexican identity was reconstructed around the figure of the mestizo, recognizing the indigenous as part of the nation, but with a paternalistic vision. Nationalist folklore was strengthened, adopting cultural symbols that homogenized regional diversity. An example of this was the transformation of the traje de jarocha, a traditional dress, whose evolution reflected the reinterpretation of indigenous culture to adapt it to Western standards. During the 20th century, the institutionalization of nationalism consolidated an idealized version of Mexican culture, ignoring the diversity of indigenous expressions.The article concluded that Mexican identity was a process of cultural appropriation and redefinition driven by intellectual elites, where nationalism idealized the pre-Hispanic past while marginalizing contemporary indigenous people. The creation of national symbols, such as the traje de jarocha (a traditional dress), showed the influence of political discourse in the consolidation of a homogeneous identity.

Authors: Serbest Salih , Öztürk Özkan
Published: February 2025

Çalışanların duygusal zekâ ve tükenmişlik seviyeleri hem insan kaynakları hem de personelin refah seviyeleri açısından önemli iki kavramdır. Duygusal zekâ ve tükenmişlik çalışanların performanslarıyla ve iyilik halleriyle ilişkili kavramlar olduğu gibi bu iki kavramın kendi aralarında da ilişkisi söz konusu olabilmektedir. Bu çalışmada, kamu iç denetim birimlerinde görev yapan kamu iç denetçilerinin duygusal zekâ seviyeleri ile tükenmişlik seviyeleri arasındaki ilişki araştırılmıştır. Araştırmada anket tekniği kullanılmıştır. Araştırma kamu iç denetim birimlerinde çalışan ve yüz yüze erişim sağlanabilen 57 kamu iç denetçisi ile gerçekleştirilmiştir. Verilerin toplanmasında duygusal zekâ ve tükenmişlik ölçekleri kullanılmıştır. Duygusal zekânın boyutları duygusal değerlendirme, empatik duyarlılık, pozitif duygusal yönetim ve duyguların olumlu kullanımı olarak tespit edilmiştir. Tükenmişliğin boyutları ise duygusal tükenme, duyarsızlaşma ve kişisel başarı olarak belirlenmiştir. Duygusal zekâ ile tükenmişlik arasında negatif ilişki tespit edilmiştir. Dolayısıyla duygusal zekâ tükenmişlik seviyesini azaltıcı bir etki ortaya koyabilmektedir. Duygusal değerlendirmeleri, empatik duyarlılıkları yüksek olanlar ile pozitif duygusal yönetim konusunda daha güçlü olan ve duygularını daha olumlu yönde kullanabilen iç denetçilerin tükenmişlik seviyelerinin daha düşük olabildiği görülmektedir. Duygusal değerlendirme becerisi, yaşın ilerlemesine bağlı olarak önemli ölçüde artmaktadır. Bekârların evli olanlara göre bedensel ve zihinsel olarak daha fazla tükenmişlik hissedebildikleri, duygusal tükenmenin bekâr olanlarda daha yüksek olabildiği, duygusal zekâ açısından ise evli olanların duygularını daha iyi yönetebildikleri belirlenmiştir. Çalışma süresinin artmasına bağlı olarak duygusal zekâ, duygusal değerlendirme ve empatik duyarlılık önemli ölçüde artabilmektedir.

Published: February 2025

Yüksek Denetim Kurumları (YDK'lar), kamu gelirlerinin ve harcamalarının denetiminden sorumlu ulusal kuruluşlardır. Kamu yönetiminde performansın iyileştirilmesinde, hesap verebilirliğin sağlanmasında, şeffaflığın arttırılmasında, israf ve verimsizlikle mücadelede, yolsuzlukların ortadan kaldırılmasında, kamu güveninin temininde ve güvenilirliğin tesis edilmesinde ve kamu kaynaklarının değer ve fayda yaratacak şekilde kullanılmasında YDK’lar çok önemli görev ve fonksiyonlara sahiptirler. Bu kurumlar ancak hükümetten ve siyasi otoriteden bağımsız olmaları ve dış etkilere karşı korunmaları durumunda görevlerini etkin bir şekilde yerine getirebilirler. YDK’lar görev ve fonksiyonlarını yerine getirebilmek için mutlaka bağımsızlık ve tarafsızlık ilkeleri dahilinde çalışmalıdırlar. Bu itibarla, YDK’ların iç ve dış bağımsızlığının, operasyonel ve fonksiyonel bağımsızlığının anayasal ve yasal düzeyde güvence altına alınması fevkalade önem taşımaktadır. Bu çalışma, kapsamlı bir literatür taramasına dayalı akademik bir araştırmadır. Uluslararası iyi yönetim ve iyi denetim ilkelerini özetlemekte ve dünyada YDK’ların bağımsızlık yönünden ne durumda olduğuna dair betimleyici ve aynı zamanda eleştirel bir analiz çerçevesi ortaya koymayı amaçlamaktadır. Anılan çerçeve, bu çalışmaya özgü olarak geliştirilen kavramsal modellerle de desteklenmektedir. Çalışma sonucunda, YDK başkan ve üyelerinin seçim ve atanmasına dair kuralların mutlaka gözden geçirilmesi gerektiği vurgulanmaktadır.
Appraising Contractors’ Tortious Liability Under the Tort of Negligence. Perspectives from Common Law and Civil Law Jurisdictions
Authors: Gavamukulya Charles
Published: February 2025

This article examines the tortious liability of contractors under the tort of negligence, comparing approaches in common law and civil law jurisdictions. It analyzes the key elements of negligence—duty of care, breach, and resulting damage—focusing on the contractor’s liability for negligent acts and negligent advice on construction projects. The study highlights how common law jurisdictions impose liability based on established legal precedents while civil law systems, exemplified by the French Civil Code, adopt a broader codified approach. The article also explores how contractors may still be held liable beyond contractual limitation periods and how liability can arise even in the absence of a formal duty of care in civil law jurisdictions. Understanding these differences is crucial for contractors and employers operating in multiple legal frameworks.

Analysis of the protective effects of extracts from the therapeutic plant Aegle marmelos against cisplatin-induced toxicity
Authors: Shivangi  , Preeti
Published: February 2025

An important field of research in the fight against chemotherapy's negative side effects is the assessment of medicinal plant extracts for their protective benefits against cisplatin-induced toxicity. Many different types of cancer are treated with cisplatin, a chemotherapeutic drug based on platinum. The significant adverse effects of cisplatin, including nephrotoxicity, hepatotoxicity, and ototoxicity, frequently restrict its clinical utility, despite its efficiency. Damage to non-target tissues, including oxidative stress, inflammation, and apoptosis, causes these harmful effects. So, finding preventive medicines that can reduce these side effects of cisplatin without reducing its anticancer effectiveness is an urgent requirement. There is a wealth of bioactive substances found in medicinal plants that may have medicinal uses; these plants have a long history of use in traditional medical systems around the world. The established antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and cytoprotective activities of these plants form the basis for their research as protective agents against cisplatin toxicity. The primary goals of this research are to determine which medicinal plant extracts are most effective at reducing cisplatin-induced toxicity and, secondarily, to determine the mechanisms of action and possible therapeutic uses of these extracts.

The investigation aimed to comprehend moths diversity across the rural and urban areas in the Salcete Taluka of South Goa in India. Moths were documented from August 2023 to January 2024 by setting up light traps. Ahigher diversity and abundance within rural areas, hosting 510 individuals from 24 families, was reported compared to urban settings, with 366 individuals from 17 families. The families Erebidae and Crambidae emerged as the most dominant across both habitats. The Shannon-Weiner diversity index indicated that the rural areas had higher species diversity than the study sites in the city. The Sorensen similarity index, with a value of 39%, showed a low similarity between the moth communities of both habitats, suggesting distinct differences in their species composition. Representatives from the families Lecithoceridae and Zygaenidae previously reported from Maharashtra and Karnataka were found for the 1st time in Goa. These findings underscore the significance of understanding moths and their habitats for effective conservation and management strategies..

Published: February 2025

Gifting has become a prevalent and widespread form of corruption in PNG’s working environment. PNG is currently facing a significant challenge in the form of gift-giving corruption, which has significantly impacted the nation's administrative and political structures. It alleviates the sense of responsibility from representatives, who often prioritise their own and their colleagues' convenience above fulfilling their fundamental responsibilities. This is primarily because it lessens their sense of accountability. Several variables contribute to the widespread occurrence of this kind of unethical conduct in PNG. The purpose of this study is to ascertain the current pattern of bribery and gift-giving in PNG
