Mothers Knowledge of the Prevalence, Causes, Effects, Prevention and Control of Diarrhoea among Children in Ife East Local Government Area, Ile Ife, Osun State, Nigeria
Authors: O Olaniran , KJ Adebayo , AA Adewoyin
Published: February 2025

Background: Childhood diarrhea remains a significant public health concern, especially in developing countries. This study
aimed to investigate the prevalence, risk factors, and preventive practices associated with childhood diarrhea in Ife East Local
Government Area, Ile Ife, Osun State.
Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted among two hundred (200) mothers with majority of the children in aged
5-7 years. Data were collected using a structured questionnaire, covering socio-demographic characteristics, diarrhea history,
hygiene practices, vaccination status, and perceived knowledge of diarrhea.
Results: The majority of participants were aged 26-30 years, married, and had secondary school education. Approximately
27% of children had experienced diarrhea in the past, and 20% had diarrhea within the past year. A significant proportion
(11.5%) of children had been hospitalized due to diarrhea. Poor access to clean water and inadequate sanitation were identified
as major risk factors. Consumption of undercooked or spoiled food, particularly meat, seafood, and eggs, was associated with
increased diarrhea risk. Poor hygiene practices, including infrequent hand washing and improper food storage, were also
linked to diarrhea. Most mothers had a basic understanding of diarrhea and its prevention methods. However, there were
gaps in knowledge regarding the importance of seeking timely medical attention and oral rehydration therapy. Vaccination
coverage was high for most vaccines, except for rotavirus, which had a low coverage rate.
Conclusion: This study highlights the continued burden of childhood diarrhea in Ife East Local Government Area. Interventions
aimed at improving access to clean water and sanitation, promoting hygiene practices, and increasing awareness of diarrhea
prevention and treatment are crucial to reduce the incidence and severity of childhood diarrhea. Additionally, efforts to
increase rotavirus vaccination coverage are essential to protect children from this preventable disease.

Published: February 2025

The present study was conducted during rabi (October–May, 2023–24) at the Department of Plant Pathology and Central Instrumentation Cell, College of Agriculture, Professor Jayashankar Telangana Agricultural University, Rajendranagar, Hyderabad, Telangana, India to report Phomopsis azadirachtae a new destructive causative agent of neem dieback and its management through fungicides and endophytes. Die-back of neem disease is presently a major devastating disease in India, resulting in almost 100% loss of fruit production and drastic reduction in evergreen canopy. Seven isolates of Phomopsis azadirachtae infecting neem collected from different districts of Telangana and identified based on morphological and cultural characteristics and molecular studies were carried out. They varied significantly in colony colour, growth pattern on Potato Dextrose Agar medium and isolates identified by molecular method, using ITS (ITS1 and ITS4) sequencing. Fifteen endophytic fungi and eight endophytic bacteria were isolated from neem leaves. Further, Bioefficacy of Endophytes was carried out against die back pathogen (Phomopsis azadirachtae). The potential endophytes were identified by ITS sequencing Six systemic fungicides Carbendazim, Hexaconazole, Thiophanate methyl, Tricyclazole, Isoprothiolane, Metalaxyl was evaluated against Phomopsis azadirachtae with different concentrations 10 ppm, 100 ppm 250 ppm, 500 ppm, 1000 ppm. Carbendazim and Thiophante methyl both were significantly inhibiting the growth of pathogen. Effect of potential endophytes and their combinations on plant growth promotion followed by roll paper towel method. In vivo studies evaluating potential endophytes and their combinations against neem die-back pathogen was carreid out inoculated on 2–3 months seedlings showing the disease incidence. Development of effective, eco-friendly management strategies is most important.
Optimizing Spawn Production and Yield of Shiitake Mushroom (Lentinula edodes) - A Comprehensive Study on Grain Substrates and Growth Supplements
Authors: Shanmugaraj C. , Saranraj K. , Biswas M. K.
Published: February 2025

The experiment was conducted during January to June, 2023 at the Mushroom Research Laboratory, Department of Plant Pathology, Palli Siksha Bhavana, Visva-Bharati University, West Bengal, India, focused on assessing various substrates and supplements for optimizing the cultivation of Lentinula edodes (Shiitake mushrooms). Analysis of spawn run durations across different grain substrates revealed sorghum as the most efficient, with strain LE-03 exhibiting the fastest colonization in just 13.67 days. Paddy and wheat substrates followed suit, while maize exhibited the longest colonization times across all strains. Rice bran emerged as the most efficient treatment for spawn run duration, surpassing wheat bran and groundnut oil cake, with the control group requiring the longest duration. Furthermore, examination of supplements highlighted wheat bran as consistently yielding the highest mushroom weight (750 grams of substrate-1) and biological efficiency (46.48% to 54.71%) across all strains. Rice bran also showed competitive results, particularly in yield. Groundnut oil cake consistently lagged behind in both yield and biological efficiency compared to wheat and rice bran, while the control group consistently produced the lowest results. These findings underscore the importance of substrate and supplement selection in optimizing spawn run duration, yield, and biological efficiency in Shiitake mushroom cultivation. Wheat bran and rice bran emerged as superior supplements, maximizing both yield and biological efficiency, while groundnut oil cake and the control group exhibited comparatively inferior performance. This comprehensive analysis provides valuable insights for enhancing Shiitake mushroom cultivation practices, emphasizing the significance of substrate and supplement choices for achieving optimal results.

Contribuições da espiritualidade para gestores escolares
Authors: Teixeira de Souza Marcio
Published: February 2025

Este trabalho objetiva, de maneira geral, identificar como a espiritualidade pode contribuir diretamente para a gestão escolar. Compreendeu-se o conceito de espiritualidade por meio da literatura (Murad, 2007; Balbinot, 2010, 2015; Barbosa, 2018) e das vivências pessoais, buscando entender como a espiritualidade contribui diretamente na produtividade de um gestor escolar. Para isso, investigou-se como o trabalho com a espiritualidade pode agir, diretamente, nas ações dentro da gestão escolar. O processo de predileção ao tema pesquisado deu-se por meio das experiências adquiridas e sentidas, no olhar atento e inquietador vivido no ambiente educacional. Por essa razão, analisou-se conceitos de espiritualidade, bem como os pilares da gestão escolar (Fernandes, 2018) como norteadores para compreender como a espiritualidade contribui na produtividade de um gestor escolar, em uma pesquisa de caráter bibliográfico. Abordou-se também, neste trabalho, a espiritualidade e a gestão escolar, entendendo que o ambiente escolar pode agrupar diferentes perspectivas, levando a refletir a respeito de como a espiritualidade se faz presente na gestão escolar. A presente pesquisa mostrou que diferentes opiniões e visões, bem como a espiritualidade contribuem para um ambiente harmônico, trocas horizontais e de transformação do individual para o coletivo. Por meio da pesquisa, compreendeu-se, igualmente, que gestão escolar e espiritualidade se interligam possibilitam uma gestão de forma mais humana.

Published: February 2025

Objetiva-se apresentar o pressuposto sobre o sentido de ser humano no interior da cosmovisão cristã e a maneira como ela pode influenciar o processo de observância do princípio da dignidade humana. Não se busca fazer analogias e nem mesmo confrontamentos com outros sistemas de crença. A intenção perseguida tem natureza contributiva diante das discussões constituídas em diferentes campos do saber, podendo ser essa, mais uma maneira de olhar, investigar, trabalhar e analisar o conceito de pessoa. A pergunta norteadora é: de que maneira a cosmovisão cristã, ao definir o conceito de pessoa, pode contribuir eficazmente com a sua observância, atendendo ao princípio da dignidade humana em prol da valorização da vida? Lança-se mão do método dedutivo e da pesquisa descritiva a partir de uma abordagem qualitativa. Busca-se compreender a maneira como a cosmovisão cristã estabelece sua lente de interpretação em relação ao princípio de dignidade humana. Conclui-se que a maneira como a cosmovisão se posiciona, influenciará o modo como homens e mulheres formarão e expressarão suas ideias, posicionamentos e atitudes no âmbito da convivência social.

A História Natural na Instrução Pública do Pará no alvorecer da Primeira República (1889-1891)
Authors: Lima Marcelino Carmo de
Published: February 2025

Resumo
O presente artigo visa analisar as mudanças ocorridas na instrução pública do Pará no início da Primeira República, proclamada em 1889, no que se refere a presença das disciplinas representadas pela História Natural e ciências afins na relação com o contexto cultural da época. Para isso, consideramos que a inserção das ciências nas escolas é um processo social, associado às formações discursivas conformadas pela cultura. Como pudemos notar, nesse momento a História Natural estava ausente no currículo da instrução pública paraense em 1890. Entretanto, a partir desse momento, passaram a fazer parte dele. Foram inseridas tanto no currículo do Liceu Paraense quanto no da Escola Normal, as duas escolas representantes do nível secundário de ensino, que era o mais elevado existente no Pará. Convém assinalar, que esse acontecimento se concretizou em uma cultura que vinha sendo acentuadamente penetrada pela História Natural: nas atividades dos naturalistas, nos discursos dos governantes e intelectuais e na consolidação de um museu de História Natural, como uma das instituições de maior destaque no contexto cultural local.

Abstract
This article aims to analyze the changes that occurred in public education in Pará at the beginning of the First Republic, proclaimed in 1889, with regard to the presence of disciplines represented by Natural History and related sciences in relation to the cultural context of the time. To this end, we consider that the inclusion of sciences in schools is a social process, associated with the discursive formations shaped by culture. As we have seen, Natural History was absent from the curriculum of public education in Pará in 1890. However, from that moment on, it became part of it. It was included in the curriculum of both the Liceu Paraense and the Escola Normal, the two schools representing the secondary level of education, which was the highest level in Pará. It is worth noting that this event took place in a culture that had been strongly permeated by Natural History: in the activities of naturalists, in the speeches of rulers and intellectuals, and in the consolidation of a Natural History museum as one of the most prominent institutions in the local cultural context.

¿La ruptura ante todo? Pensar la política en la filosofía de Badiou: entre el acontecimiento y su historicidad
Authors: Gordillo Ignacio Ariel
Published: February 2025

A partir de la publicación, principalmente, de su obra El ser y el acontecimiento, la filosofía de Alain Badiou ha caído bajo la acusación de alejarse de la política real al plantear un rígido dualismo entre la novedad del acontecimiento y la situación histórica. En respuesta a esas críticas, este artículo revisa la relación entre ambos aspectos en su trayectoria filosófica post-mayo del ’68. Se intenta dilucidar en qué medida, en la filosofía badiouana, el sujeto-militante del acontecimiento, quien efectúa una intervención fundamental para su despliegue en la situación, a la vez que debe aislarse de su entorno para abrazar esa disrupción, también necesita tener como recursos cierto conocimiento sobre la historia de secuencias políticas anteriores para estar preparado para la azarosa aparición de lo nuevo. Asimismo, el vínculo militante con los acontecimientos de las políticas de emancipación se apoya en una ética subjetiva que este artículo considera valiosa para estudiar el rol del filósofo en el escenario contemporáneo.
Del Dos al Tres
Authors: Varela Pequeño Mikel
Published: February 2025

El objeto de estudio de este artículo gira en torno a los fundamentos conceptuales y la dinámica estructural de la dialéctica de Badiou, tomando como núcleo vehicular la centralidad de la categoría de sustracción. Con esa finalidad, se realiza un acercamiento al diagnóstico filosófico de Badiou; una indagación sobre la categoría de ruptura y su relación con el orden estructural establecido; una tentativa de reconstrucción conceptual de la categoría de acontecimiento; un análisis de la dinámica interna de la propia dialéctica, centrado en la relación entre sustracción, afirmación y negación; y, finalmente, se vuelve sintéticamente sobre los aspectos que mejor pueden ayudar a caracterizar la dialéctica de Badiou. Se defiende que la categoría que mejor define esa nueva estructura dialéctica es la sustracción, porque desde la primacía del afirmacionismo incorpora la dialéctica entre la afirmación y la negación y porque subraya su carácter inmanente, contingente y materialista.
Alain Badiou
Authors: Vinolo Stéphane
Published: February 2025

La filosofía de Alain Badiou se presenta como una filosofía del movimiento, del flujo de la multiplicidad. Hablemos de su ontología, de su teoría del sujeto o de su maoísmo en contra del estalinismo, todo fluye en la filosofía de Badiou. Sin embargo, el movimiento y el flujo son en gran parte las características del capitalismo tardío que se presenta como líquido. Con el fin de diferenciar estos dos movimientos, el autor propone pensar a la filosofía de Badiou en tanto que fuga que se opone a la huida o al escape del capitalismo a partir de una oposición entre el dominio del último en contra del abandono de la primera, lo que permite pensar, en Badiou, un sujeto secundario.
Conditional Spiral in Alain Badiou’s philosophical system
Authors: Madarasz Norman Roland
Published: February 2025

As propostas filosóficas de reformar a ontologia evoluíram de delimitar grandes substâncias universais ou totalidades para mapear modelos formais no tempo. A maioria dessas estabelece a diferença irreduzível como sua principal suposição. A proposta ontológica de Alain Badiou é, com pouca dúvida, uma das mais polêmicas. Conhecida por sua formulação inicial de que a ontologia é matemática, Badiou trouxe ajustes significativos para sua afirmação em 2018. Neste artigo, argumentamos que essa grande reestruturação foi possibilitada pela lógica condicional em múltiplas camadas pela qual se estrutura seu sistema filosófico. Sustentamos que, sem tal lógica, nenhuma proposta filosófica sobre a diferença radical e sua emergência material pode ser considerada uma possibilidade real. A ontologia mapeia uma teoria radicalmente formal, condicionada por eventos e distribuída sobre tipos de sujeitos. A teoria das condições fornece os parâmetros cruciais para validar esta afirmação.
New Truths in Alain Badiou’s Thought
Authors: Orsholits Gorica
Published: February 2025

In this paper, I examine Badiou’s idea of the “infinite value of truth” as an important imperative of our post-truth era. The main concepts essential for understanding the creation of truth include the mathematical system of set theory, events, and the relationships between truth and the subject, truth and politics, and truth and art. The condition of truth appears to be essential for Badiou’s notion of real life. By gaining a better understanding of what truth can be, we can explore different visions and understandings of the future to come.

Este artigo explora a relação de Alain Badiou com o cinema, em geral, e a crítica cinematográfica, em particular, a partir do ensaio “Pode-se falar de um filme?”, publicado originalmente em 1994 e depois modificado para integrar o livro Pequeno manual de inestética. Retomando os três tipos de juízo propostos por Badiou, indistinto, diacrítico e axiomático, busca-se pensar como este último pode oferecer contribuições à escrita sobre a sétima arte.
Morphomolecular identification of Polylabris lingaoensis Tingbao, Kritsky, and Jun, 2007 infecting the twobar Seabream (Acanthopagrus bifasciatus)
Authors: Alojayri G. , Al-Quraishy S. , Mohammed O. B. , Al-Shaebi E. , Abdel-Gaber R.
Published: February 2025

A total of 40 fish samples of the twobar seabream, Acanthopagrus bifasciatus (Sparidae), were collected from January to June 2023 in the Arabian Gulf (Saudi Arabia). Fish samples were surveyed for ectoparasitic taxa. This study revealed the presence of one monogenetic species in A. bifasciatus gills. Parasitic prevalence and the mean value of intensity were 32.5% and 10, respectively. This parasite species has all the morphological characteristics of Polylabris, a genus erected by Euzet and Cauwet, 1967 (Microcotylidae), and mostly resembles Polylabris lingaoensis Tingbao, Kritsky, and Jun, 2007 on the presence of follicular testes ranging between 6–8, two rows of parallel microcotylid clamps in the haptoral structure with 35–45 per each, the conical form of the male copulatory organ, as well as the absence of genital armature. Molecular identification of this Polylabris species was conducted through sequencing of the partial nuclear large subunit (28S) of the ribosomal RNA (rRNA) and the mitochondrial gene of cytochrome c oxidase subunit I (COI). 28S rRNA genetic sequences were found to be conserved across several Polylabris spp., whereas, COI sequences were found to be more informative even with intraspecific variation. Therefore, the isolation of P. lingaoensis, provided herein, represents its first report on a marine sparid fish from Saudi Arabia. Furthermore, the reported sequences are also new genetic data for P. lingaoensis. Our findings will serve as the basis for any future study on monogeneans in Saudi waters.
Challenges of the Accounting Profession in Accounting Systems Connected to Taxation: Business Taxation in Romania Compared to Hungary
Authors: State Violeta , Voinea Cristina-Maria , Tănase Loredana-Cristina , Pajrok Andor
Published: February 2025

It is known that two accounting models/systems have emerged worldwide, each based on one of the two accounting currents: the continental accounting model resulting from the conceptual or deductive current and the Anglo-Saxon accounting model resulting from the pragmatic or inductive current. Each country has its own accounting system that reflects the legal, social and cultural influences specific to that country. Still, the different national accounting systems with their particularities can be grouped more or less faithfully and integrated into one of two models. Romania and Hungary adopted the continental accounting system, whose characteristic is the connection of accounting to taxation. Through a comparative study between Romania and Hungary in terms of business taxation, we aim to highlight the challenging journey of accounting professionals from the accounting rules common to all activities and constant over time to the different tax processing and adjustments from one period to another and even from one field of activity to another.
Event Promotion of Tourist Destinations using Local Ethnical Particularities
Authors: Kandzija Vinko , Marcu Laura , Cucui Gabriel
Published: February 2025

The paper addresses how a locality can use an ethnically specific event as a way to promote and attract tourists. In carrying out the research, we used the comparative analysis of two localities in the Dobrogea region (Romania) that are tourist destinations and have an ethnic specificity. The analysis of the statistical data and information from the articles regarding the events organized by the two localities allowed us to observe several major differences in terms of capitalizing on local assets (including ethnic ones) in the choice of organized events, market targeting, the way of events’ promotion and the results obtained. Although one of the localities (Jurilovca) has only one event, the results obtained in the five years of existence exceed those of the other analyzed locality (Techirghiol), where 11 events are organized, some with a much longer tradition. The comparative analysis of the two cases enabled us to draw several conclusions about organizing events that promote the ethnic specifics of localities.
The Impact of Proximity on Trust Restoration from an Organisational Apology
Authors: RHODES Eric , CLARKE Samuel , YAMAGUCHI Masahisa Kurt
Published: February 2025

Modern organisations frequently issue public apologies in the aftermath of a perceived transgression as a strategy to restore lost trust. Our paper examines the impact of social proximity on the efficacy of organisational apologies issued to consumers based on questionnaire data from two studies of 193 and 342 participants. It was discovered that the inclusion of language indicating geographic and leadership proximity in an apology led to the restoration of significantly more trust compared to apologies that did not include any references to proximity. By contrast, apologies that included references to relationship and network proximity were significantly less restorative of trust compared to apologies that did not include any proximity references. Our research is the first study to examine the intersection of social proximity and organisational apologies. Based on our findings, we contend that organisations should include references to geographic and leadership proximity in their apologies and exclude references to relationship and network proximity.

Work-Life Balance, Organisational Commitment, and Healthcare Worker Productivity
Authors: YAMOAH Emmanuel Erastus
Published: February 2025

This study investigates the relationships between work-life balance, employee productivity, and organisational commitment among healthcare workers at a leading healthcare facility in the La Nkwantanang Madina Municipality, Ghana. The study adopted a cross-sectional survey design, and the participants comprised 137 employees. Multiple regression approaches, mediation, and moderation analyses were employed to analyse the data. The result so agrees with the hypotheses predicting a positive correlation between work-life balance and productivity (r = 0.48, F <0.001) and organisational commitment (r = 0.55, F <0.001). The mediation analysis results indicated that organisational commitment fully mediates the relationship between work-life balance and productivity (indirect effect β = 0.22, p < 0.001), more specifically, employees with higher levels of organisational commitment amplify the positive effects of work-life balance on productivity. In addition, the main analysis indicated that work-life balance significantly and positively predicted productivity; however, this relationship was moderated by gender, with female workers being more affected by work-life balance than their male counterparts (β = 0.30, p < 0.001). Through the understanding of the results of the study, gender-sensitive work-life balance policies and organisational commitment to increase efficiency are highlighted. As such, future research should further investigate the subsequent changes in work-life balance interventions and other mediators regarding their relations, including job satisfaction and work stress. Limitations include the cross-sectional design, single-site focus, and reliance on self-reported data.

The Determinants of Organisations’ Performance in the Algerian Mobile Telecommunications Market
Authors: BENATIA Ines , ABID Nabila
Published: February 2025

Assessing and improving organisations’ performance is a perpetual concern for managers and a core research topic for management researchers. As a complex and multidimensional construct, performance is evaluated through a various set of indicators, including customer satisfaction and loyalty. In this article, we intend to analyse the determinants of customer satisfaction and loyalty as key metrics of the performance of mobile telecommunications operators in Algeria. Our conceptual model included service quality, competitive service pricing, service innovation, and customer experience as the main explanatory variables of customer satisfaction and loyalty, and was tested on a sample of 420 mobile operators’ customers in Algeria. Following a quantitative approach, we relied on structural equation modelling to analyse the empirical data collected. The results of our analysis show that in the Algerian mobile telecommunications market, customer satisfaction is affected by customer experience, service quality and price, while customer loyalty is only determined by service quality and customer experience. The influential effect of service innovation on both customer satisfaction and customer loyalty has not been supported in this study. By underlying the specificities of the national context, the insights from this study can orient the Algerian mobile operators while shaping their customer relationship management strategies. These insights indicate the critical service aspects that customers are most sensitive to, notably network coverage and responsive support, which are determinant in optimising the overall customer experience.

This research analyzes the impact of the economic disruption caused by the COVID-19 pandemic on Indonesia’s labor market by utilizing data from SAKERNAS, or the National Labor Force Survey, for 2020 and 2021. A logistic regression model is used to analyze the impact of sociodemographic factors, job-related variables, and the Kartu Prakerja (a pre-employment program focused on training and skill development) on unemployment, labor force participation, and reduced working hours caused by the economic disruption of COVID-19. The findings underscore the enduring repercussions of the pandemic on employment landscapes, with pronounced impacts observed among older workers, married individuals, less educated workers, and urban residents. The manufacturing and service sectors experienced more significant implications than agriculture, revealing sector-specific challenges. Kartu Prakerja influenced working hour reductions in 2021, showing the effects of evolving government intervention. Increased Internet use was linked to reduced working hours, signaling the need for accelerated digital skill programs for jobs dependent on Internet use.

Published: February 2025

The article is devoted to the analysis of research on the intertextuality of news headlines in Chinese linguistics. The purpose of the study is to present various methodological approaches to the study of intertextuality, current trends in the consideration of the intertextuality of news headlines in Chinese scientific literature. The subject of the research is the concepts of intertextuality implemented in news headlines in Chinese. The material is provided by Chinese scientific publications devoted to the study of the intertextuality of news headlines from 2006 to 2024, the analysis of which made it possible to identify relevant areas of her research. The sources of scientific literature are key Chinese scientific platforms: China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI), Wanfang Database, VIP Database, China Social Science Library, etc., on the basis of which a detailed and representative data analysis was conducted. The research methods combine quantitative, qualitative and interpretative analysis, linguistic description, transdisciplinary comparison, corpus method and bibliometric tools that allow us to present the current state of research on the intertextuality of news headlines in Chinese. The scientific novelty lies in the fact that for the first time a review of studies on the intertextuality of news headlines based on Chinese scientific literature has been conducted. The results of the study indicate that approaches to studying the intertextuality of news headlines have changed significantly. At the first stage (until 2006), research on news headlines was conducted within the framework of traditional linguistic and textual analysis. At the second stage (2006-2015), the field of research shifted to the field of discursive analysis. At the third stage (2016-2024), the intertextuality of news headlines becomes the object of transdisciplinary research in linguistics, journalism, sociolinguistics, communication, political science, history, and others. The obtained research results can serve as a basis for further research in this field. As conclusion the author provides an intertextual analysis of news headlines in the new media environment of the Internet, which is interwoven into the context of theoretical discussions. With the development of digital technologies, the intertextuality of online media news headlines is becoming the focus of transdisciplinary research.

Published: February 2025

Bone morphogenetic proteins (BMPs) are critical bone regeneration and repair regulators, offering promising alternatives to traditional autogenous bone grafts. Recombinant bone morphogenetic protein-2 (rhBMP-2) derived from human origin has emerged as a significant osteoinductive agent capable of inducing the mesenchymal stem cells to convert into osteoblasts, thus promoting the formation of bone. The FDAapproved rhBMP-2/ACS (absorbable collagen sponge) combination demonstrates efficacy in spinal fusion, sinus augmentation, and alveolar ridge augmentation. Mechanistically, BMP-2 induces endochondral and intramembranous bone formation through specific receptor-mediated signalling pathways, activating Smad proteins and subsequent gene regulation. In dental applications, rhBMP-2 enhances the success of implants, supports periodontal regeneration, and optimizes bone regeneration outcomes. Despite its benefits, challenges include high costs, technique sensitivity, and risks of ectopic bone formation and inflammation. Clinical trials and studies continue to validate its efficacy across various orthopedic and maxillofacial applications, emphasizing its role in optimizing bone healing while reducing the need for additional surgical interventions. This review explores the mechanisms, benefits, limitations, and clinical applications of rhBMP-2 in bone regeneration, highlighting its impact on advancing dental and orthopedic therapeutic strategies.

Published: February 2025

We report a 27-year-old male presenting with malalignment of the great toenail, a nail disorder characterised by lateral deviation of the nail plate. This case presented a familial clustering of the condition and the cyclic nature of nail shedding. Clinical examination revealed significant thickening, increased curvature, discolouration and lateral deviation of both great toenail plates significantly impacting the patient’s quality of life. There were no predisposing factors including any history of trauma, systemic illness or fungal infection. This case underscores the importance of considering familial predisposition in the evaluation and management of malalignment of great toenails, highlighting the need for further research into its genetic underpinnings.
Photosensibilisierte O2-Übertragung in Gegenwart oder mittels β-Carotin unter Ausschluß von Singulett-Sauerstoff
Authors: Schenck G.O. , Schade G.
Published: February 2025

Carotenoids and vitamin A may react as sensitizers, substrates, quenchers and scavengers in photo- and autooxidation processes. β-Carotene has been shown to act as sensitizer in type 2 photooxygenation of dienes and olefins generating singlet oxygen (1O2) in the Kautsky-Schenck mechanism via excited carotene-O2 complexes. Strong quenching of 1O2 by β-carotene has been found especially occuring in solvents containing benzene as applied by Foote and Denny, but not in methanol or isopropanol, etc. 1O2-Quenching appears to be associated with oxygenation of β-carotene and is interpreted as catalytic action via complexing of 1O2 with β-carotene. The difference in behavior of the excited sensitizer-oxygen-complexes and of the quencher/acceptor-oxygen-complexes is explained by the different states of aggregation of the β-carotenes in various solvents. Association e.g. in alcohols appears favouring sensitization, whereas stronger solvation by benzene is favouring acceptor and associated catalytic or quenching activities. The problem of solvation of 1O2 needs further consideration.

Authors: Waldmeier Peter , Sigel Helmut
Published: February 2025

The catalytic activity in the decomposition of H2O2 is compared for several 3d-metal ion-phthalocyanine 4,4',4'',4'''- tetrasulfonates. Catalytically active complexes are those containing CoII, CoIII, or FeIII; the NiII and CuII complexes are inactive. As known from the literature the respective complexes with MnII, or ZnII are also inactive. The conditions (electronic configuration, coordination number) for obtaining catalytically active complexes are discussed shortly.

The electrode shows selectivities of NH4+ over K+ and NH4+ over Na+ of about 10 and over 500 respectively and a linear response to NH4+ in the range 10-1M to 10-5M (slope: 58 mV/log aNH4+ [25°C]).
Enzymatische Acylierung von Sterin-14C-Glucosid durch ein lösliches Enzym aus Karotten
Authors: Eichenberger W. , Grob E.C.
Published: February 2025

A soluble enzyme preparation from homogenized carrots (Daucus carota L.) catalyzes the formation of acylated steryl 14C-glucoside from steryl 14C-glucoside when either mono- or digalactosyl diglyceride is supplied as acyl donor. The soluble enzyme from carrots is suggested to be dilferent from the one found in green leaves by Heinz, which catalyzes the formation of acylgalactosyl diglyceride from monogalactosyl diglyceride.
Réactions de type «Claisen» avec le phytol et l'isophytol
Authors: Marion J.P. , Bessière-Chrétien Y.
Published: February 2025

We have studied Cabroll, Claisen, Marbet and Saucy reactions with phytol and isophytol. Acetylacetoacetate, dimethyl acetamide-dimethyl acetal and ethyl-vinyl-ether are some of the reagents brought in to reaction. Of the obtained ketones, amides and aldehydes all, except one, are new compounds; their caracteristics are given in detail (IR, NMR, MS). 
A comparison of the stereochemistry of the double bond of these products with that described for products obtained with smaller alcohols, shows that the presence of the phytyl chain has not, after all, a predominant influence. 
By using the proper catalysts, temperatures and reaction times it was possible to obtain excellent yields and, in some cases, stereospecific reaction products.

Published: February 2025

Green tea is a popular beverage consumed worldwide after water, but some people cannot
consume it due to its high caffeine concentration. One of the easiest methods to reduce
caffeine and retain the bioactive compounds in green tea is through the simultaneous
extraction and decaffeination process using hot water. Thus, this work aimed to achieve
high flavonoid and low caffeine with antioxidant activity (IC50) in green tea powder-based
beverages through simultaneous extraction and decaffeination processes by the Box
Behnken design-response surface methodology. Three independent factors were studied,
namely extraction time (10 to 30 mins), decaffeination time (1 to 5 hrs), and
decaffeination temperature (50 to 100°C), with three observed responses (total flavonoid,
IC50, and caffeine content). Process parameters were analyzed and optimized using the
Design Expert program. The analysis of variance (ANOVA) was used to detect significant
independent factors in each response. The results demonstrated that the extraction and
decaffeination parameters influenced the total flavonoid, IC50, and caffeine content of
green tea powder-based beverages. The extraction time of 29.17 mins, decaffeination time
of 5 hrs, and decaffeination temperature of 50°C was predicted to produce the green tea
powder-based beverages with the lowest caffeine and IC50, and high total flavonoid, with
total flavonoid of 100.18 mg QE/g, IC50 of 32.64 ppm and the caffeine content of 1.54 mg/
g, respectively. Based on paired t-tests, the verification revealed no significant difference
with model predictions with a confidence interval of 5%. In conclusion, the optimized
simultaneous extraction and decaffeination process utilizing the Box Behnken designresponse surface methodology successfully produced green tea powder-based beverages
with reduced caffeine content, enhanced flavonoid levels, and potent antioxidant activity,
offering a promising solution for individuals seeking a healthier alternative to traditional
green tea consumption.
