The Protective Role of Nigella Sativa Oil-Loaded Polycaprolactone/ Chitosan/ Electrospam Nanofibers against Nephrotoxicity in Rats Exposed to Etbr
Authors: Nawras A. Jaleel
Published: February 2025

Ethidium bromide's (EtBr) toxic effects have the potential to spread to renal cells, which could lead to cellular dysfunction and death. Numerous potent active compounds with significant therapeutic benefits found in nigella sativa oil (NSO). An efficient technique for producing nanofibers is electrospinning, which stirs polymer solutions using a strong electrical source. The current study aims to fabricate nanofibers from polycaprolactone and chitosan loaded with NSO and examine its nephro-protective effects against EtBr toxicity in male rats. For this purpose, six groups (16 males each) were daily dosed with distilled water (T1), EtBr (T2), PC/NF (T3), a combination of PC/NF and EtBR (T4), PC/NSO/NF (T5), and a combination of PC/NSO/NF and EtBR (T6) for 30 days. Two subgroups were created from each group, and each received treatment for either 15 or 30 days prior to being sacrificed. Following both treatment periods, kidney histology and serum renal function profile were examined. Significant increases in kidney relative weight and renal function markers were noted in the EtBr group. Notably, PCNSONF therapy markedly increased these markers in comparison to the EtBr group. Furthermore, compared to the EtBr group, which exhibited notable cellular necrotic and degenerative changes, the PCNSONF group had structural improvement in kidney histological features and semi-quantitative analysis. In conclusion, manufactured PCNSONF demonstrated improved prophylactic effectiveness against EtBr-induced renotoxicity and an improved serum kidney function profile. Ethidium bromide's impact on renal functioning require more investigation into certain indicators of renal damage.

Authors: Pemalaputhen Marydas Sneha , Mathew Nanditha , De Marzo Giordano , Pietrobelli Carlo
Published: February 2025

In this study, using a novel dataset that matches firm-level data with online job vacancy data, we investigate the effects of firms’ digital technology adoption on future hiring and the dynamics of hiring and training, focusing on different types of technologies and categories of occupations. First, we examine the impact of adopting different types of digital technologies, namely AI, Advanced ICT, and Basic ICT, on future firm hiring. Our findings reveal that less advanced digital jobs (eg. Basic ICT, Advanced ICT) are substituted by more advanced digital jobs (eg. AI), while the advanced technology adoption by firms leads to increased overall hiring of non-digital roles. Second, we show that there is a positive relationship between training and new hiring only for one occupational category, namely, managers, with no significant relationship for other occupations. Third, we investigate the joint effect of training and technology adoption for firm performance. Our findings reveal that digital technology adoption enhances a firm’s financial performance only when combined with internal staff training. The sole exception is AI, which yields positive performance benefits even in the absence of training.
Treating external anal sphincter injury with platelet-rich plasma to resolve post-partum fecal incontinence caused by birthing trauma: A case report
Authors: J Siddiqui Imran , Probst Jessica , Mahadevan Sanjay , J Desronvilles Roosevelt , J Dineen Kyle
Published: February 2025

Introduction: Pelvic floor disorders following traumatic vaginal delivery of infants are common, with fecal incontinence (FI) as a clinically significant symptom. Injury to the external anal sphincter (EAS) is the likely culprit for this FI. Current standard-of-care options fall short of preventing long-term side effects and providing sustained quality-of-life improvements.

Case Report: We present the case of a 41-year-old female with a history of pelvic floor dysfunction and FI following childbirth. She presented to an outpatient regenerative medicine clinic and pelvic floor specialty clinic 15 months after symptom onset for a clinical evaluation and treatment due to difficulties with holding stool and activating her pelvic floor. Palpation-based pelvic mapping (PM), confirmed by trans-perineal pelvic ultrasound determined that the patient had significant injury to the EAS as well as damage to other pelvic floor soft tissues. The patient elected to undergo 2 rounds of ultrasound-guided platelet-rich plasma (PRP) injections directly to her EAS and other pelvic floor injuries. The patient completed 2 different validated patient-reported outcome-measure (PROM) surveys at various time intervals in her recovery to quantify her progress. Ultrasound images, PROM survey scores, and patient symptoms all indicated marked improvement and resolution of FI from baseline.

Conclusion: This case demonstrates the application of PRP to heal a significant EAS lesion, resulting in a resolution of the patient’s FI. While more studies are required, PRP may potentially pose a safe and effective treatment with a lower risk profile than surgical alternatives for treating EAS injuries to resolve FI.

Human Error or Cultural Failure that Cause Serious Incidents and Implications for Industry
Authors: Kaila Harbans Lal
Published: February 2025

People may think that human error means fixing an individual for incidents. This paper clarifies that human error is linked to organisational culture which needs to be fixed, not the individuals. Insufficient training of key employees can lead to a non-precision approach to risk control. Human errors (such as non-judgment, and lack of confidence) can cause serious incidents even in the most advanced technology workplaces or digitalised world. Human errors could be due to cognitive, physical, perceptual and behavioural deficiencies. Every human error can be understood in terms of a sequence of events such as a lack of top management safety culture, cost cutting, and so on. Human errors also show direct and indirect connections with organisational factors, human factors, profit-making attitudes, not keeping the worst in mind while making safety decisions, and not adhering to previous safety recommendations. Temporary repairs and maintenance over time again and again, and not replacing costly parts are greater hidden human issues. Financial implications force companies to carry out temporary repairs but not permanent replacements. Above all, regulatory audits and approvals for faulty repairs increase safety problems even bigger. Maintenance and financial problems heighten the safety issues of companies. Continuing human errors are potential enough to shut down companies, as reviewed in the literature. There could be a possibility of human errors not being identified or resolved with all systems in good condition which is why a particular human error or system error occurred? Whatever is left and whatever is improbable must be the cause of the least understandable incidents. Do companies have a human safety ethics committee that could look into human errors? This paper shares rich qualitative data from seven organisational stories on how they fixed human errors to convert into a positive safety culture towards zero-harm objectives. Vision Zero-harm Interventions are explained to fix human errors, which necessitates that we consider human errors in the antecedents and perspectives of every organisational culture. Don’t fix people, fix cultures.

Published: February 2025

This study evaluates the geodiversity and geoheritage potential of basalt caves in Girimulyo Village, East Lampung, Indonesia, focusing on scientific, educational, tourism, and degradation risk values. Eight caves, including Pandan 1, Pandan 2, Kelelawar, and Kubah, were assessed through field observations, stakeholder interviews, and visual documentation. Pandan 1 Cave demonstrated the highest potential with an average score of 281.67, attributed to its unique geological features, including A’a lava, pahoehoe lava, and bread crust textures. Kelelawar Cave’s biodiversity, particularly its bat habitat, highlights its suitability for ecotourism, while Kubah Cave attracts adventure tourists with its columnar joint formations. Jagung Cave was identified as the most vulnerable to degradation, scoring 295 due to agricultural activities nearby. Conservation measures, visitor management, and sustainable tourism practices are essential to protect these geoheritage sites. Recommendations include developing visitor pathways, educational tours, and geotourism infrastructure. Limitations include reliance on visual assessments for degradation risk and limited cave access. Future research should include geotechnical analysis and explore the socio-economic impact of geotourism on local communities. The findings provide a framework for sustainable geotourism, balancing conservation, education, and tourism growth.

Authors: Jamaluddin
Published: February 2025

The COVID-19 pandemic has reshaped workplace dynamics globally, with remote work becoming a necessity. This study investigates the determinants of employee productivity in Indonesia’s remote work settings, focusing on workload, job satisfaction, work-life balance, social support, and cultural adaptability. Data from 150 respondents across various industries were analyzed using Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM). The findings reveal that job satisfaction (β = 0.42, p < 0.001) and work-life balance (β = 0.35, p < 0.001) have the strongest impacts on productivity, followed by cultural adaptability (β = 0.38, p < 0.001) and social support (β = 0.29, p < 0.001). Interestingly, job level does not significantly moderate these relationships, indicating consistency across organizational hierarchies. The results highlight the importance of addressing cultural dynamics, workload balance, and social support systems to enhance productivity. Practical implications include strategies for improving remote work effectiveness in culturally diverse environments.
Building Adaptive Workforces
Authors: Alam Roslina
Published: February 2025

This study investigates the influence of high-involvement HRM (HI-HRM) practices on innovative work behavior (IWB) in Indonesia's tourism sector, focusing on functional flexibility (FF) as a mediator and digital competency as a moderator. Grounded in the Ability-Motivation-Opportunity (AMO) framework, it explores how ability-enhancing, motivation-enhancing, and opportunity-enhancing HR practices shape employee adaptability and innovation. A quantitative approach was employed, collecting data from 300 employees across various tourism segments, with analysis conducted using structural equation modeling. Results confirm that HI-HRM practices positively affect IWB through FF, while digital competency significantly strengthens these relationships. The study provides both theoretical contributions by integrating digital competency into the HRM framework and practical implications for enhancing workforce innovation in the rapidly evolving tourism industry. Managers are encouraged to implement comprehensive HRM strategies and prioritize digital skills training to foster adaptability and maintain competitiveness in Indonesia's dynamic tourism landscape.
Naming Africans: On the Epistemic Value of Names, Oyeronke Oyewumi and Hewan Girma (eds.) Switzerland: Palgrave Macmillan, 2023. 237 pages. $129.99

Published: February 2025

My name is Olúwábùnmi Tèmítọ́pẹ́ which means “God has given (this child) to me, I am grateful.” Both of my names were given to me by my mother, who had me through a Caesarean Section (CS). So, my first name came from her experience during pregnancy and my second name was her way of showing gratitude for surviving her near-death childbirth experience. She told me she was grateful that she regained consciousness almost four (4) weeks after my birth. Like me, all my siblings had names that marked important, memorable events in our parents’ lives. Our names tell our parents’ stories, stories about circumstances surrounding our births, rather than our stories as may be found in many brief personal oríkì (praise names) among the Ọ̀yọ́-Yorùbá. For many of us whose parents are from Ondo and Ekiti States of Nigeria, we do not have brief personal oríkì as noted by Ladele, et. al. and quoted by Oyewumi, p.21, but parents still gave very specific Àmútọ̀runwá[2] names “whose chief distinction is that they are based on the observed biological facts attending the birth of that child”[3] which is a common phenomenon in Yorùbá culture. African names reveal a lot about the bearer’s background and carry “a wealth of historical information.” Caesarean sections or Caesarean deliveries are surgical procedures by which babies are born through incisions in their mothers’ abdomen and uterus. Even though the technique dates to 1480 CE, it has since then evolved and has been improved on to reduce mother and child mortality rate. Still, in the early 80s at the time of my birth, the Caesarean technique was still very risky and many things could and do go wrong. In my mother’s case, things went wrong with the procedure. Because of that, she was unconscious from the procedure for almost a month. There are very few Àmútọ̀runwá (brought from ọ̀run (invisible realm)) names among the Yorùbá. They are Táyé, Kẹhinde, Ìdòwú, Àlàbá, Okẹ́, Ìgè, Àìná, Òjó, and a few others. These names have not changed. Some of them are gender neural while others are gender specific. For example, Táyé and Kẹhìndé are gender neutral names for twins regardless of their genders. En caul births are called Okẹ́ and breech babies are called Ìgè regardless of their genders. Àìná and Òjó are examples of gender specific names. Àìná is a female child born with nuchal cords while Òjó is a male child born with the same condition.

Published: February 2025

In wireless rechargeable sensor networks (WRSNs), mobile chargers (MCs) are normally scheduled to deliver energy to the rechargeable sensor nodes (SNs). However, due to the energy consumption dynamicity of WRSNs, constructing optimal charging trajectories with minimized number of failed SNs due to energy deficiency ensuring a sustained WRSN operation at minimum MC’s movement cost is one aspect of the subject matter not yet thoroughly investigated. Thus, exploring this knowledge is the focus of this work. We applied shortest path algorithm, on-demand scheduling and multi-node charging methods to construct the energy cost-effective charging path for the MC, a model we coined as Shortest Hamiltonian Cycle Traveling Salesman Problem (SHC-TSP). Comparative analysis proves the optimality of our solution against the notable nearest job next with pre-emption (NJNP) model in terms of minimizing MC’s traveling energy cost with energy savings of 3.9156% and 2.1940% for the two scenarios respectively examined.
Analisis Perbandingan Gametogenesis pada Hewan Vertebrata dan Invertebrata
Authors: Nafasya Rahmandini  , Na’illah Ega Sivana
Published: February 2025

In mammals, the reproductive process involves fertilization between male and female gametes that produce embryos. Gametogenesis, which includes spermatogenesis and oogenesis, is the stage of formation and maturation of gamete cells through mitosis and meiosis division. The purpose of this study is to understand the differences and similarities in the process of gametogenesis in vertebrate and invertebrate animal groups. This study uses a literature study method in obtaining its data. Although there are variations in structure and mechanism, the process of gametogenesis in vertebrates and invertebrates has similar basic principles. Environmental factors such as temperature also play an important role in influencing spermatogenic activity and reproductive behavior in both groups of animals. The similarities in the basic process indicate that gametogenesis is an evolutionarily conservative mechanism, while specific variations reflect adaptation to the reproductive needs of each species.

Published: February 2025

This study aims to determine the effect of social comparison on body dissatisfaction among female adolescents who use Instagram. Social comparison refers to the process in which individuals compare themselves to others in terms of physical appearance, while body dissatisfaction refers to the feeling of being unhappy with one’s body or physical appearance. This study used a quantitative method with a survey involving 385 female adolescents aged 18-22 who actively use Instagram. Data were collected using validated scales for body dissatisfaction and social comparison. Regression analysis results showed a significant relationship between social comparison and body dissatisfaction, with an F-value of 4.378 and a significance of 0.037. The R-Square value of 0.011 indicates that social comparison explains only 11% of the variance in body dissatisfaction. These results suggest that the more frequently adolescents engage in social comparison on Instagram, the higher their levels of body dissatisfaction. Therefore, the use of social media, especially Instagram, can exacerbate negative body perceptions among female adolescents, ultimately having a detrimental impact on mental health. Interventions are needed to reduce harmful social comparisons and promote self-acceptance.

Authors: Wang Zimo
Published: February 2025

This paper examines the historical practice of foot-binding in China, which explores its historical origins, its physical and psychological harm against women, early modern China’s effort to gradually abolish the practice and how it has ultimately contributed to the liberation of Chinese women. Foot binding, a practice that originated in the Northern Song Dynasty and wasn’t widely abolished until well into the 20th century, has been a source of multifaceted torment against women that have suppressed their social role and autonomy for generations. The anti-foot-binding movement, which gained momentum in the late Qing dynasty and continued into the 20th century, was a critical component of broader societal reforms aimed at modernizing China and uplist the appeal of feminist thoughts. By tracing the historical trajectory of foot-binding and the resistance against it, this paper highlights the significance of the movement in promoting women's rights and shaping modern feminist consciousness in China.

Authors: Xu Wenqing
Published: February 2025

This research explores various issues of domestic violence faced by Indian women, which further discusses physical, emotional, and economic abuse. Physical violence remains one of the prevalent forms, in which patriarchal norms that normalize the control over women through force, and it is how it’s perpetuated until now. Although legal reforms have been implemented, societal acceptance of such violence continues to oppress women across various social classes. Emotional abuse is less visible, but it is as equally harmful as the physical violence’s harm, which will damage women’s mental health and reinforce dependency on abusers. Economic violence is generally associated with traditional practices like dowry, that puts women in financial insecurity, and limits their ability to escape from abusive environments. Grassroots movements and public campaigns have played an important role in improving women’s awareness and empowering them to resist violence. However, there are gaps in legal enforcement, especially in rural areas, that negatively impacts the effectiveness of progressive legislation like the Protection of Women from Domestic Violence Act (PWDVA). Government initiatives have the potential, but they are underutilized because of systemic inefficiencies. The study concludes that Indian women still face significant obstacles in resisting domestic violence, that include societal stigma, limited awareness of rights, and insufficient social and economic support systems. To achieve change, the institutional support should be enhanced and have stronger attitudes in cultural shift toward gender-based violence.
