Authors:   ,   Lebanese American University, Al Bitar Reem
Published: July 2022

Today, the challenging business environment and the latest technologies are thought to be potential threats to replacing employees. However, creativity is the area that still favors humans. The purpose of this study is to fill the gap in the literature by exploring the relationship between Psychological Capital and Creativity, and to test whether Engagement mediates the relationship between Psychological Capital and Creativity in response to recent research call (Yu et al., 2019). The research sample consisted of 205 respondents working in Lebanese private firms. The questionnaire was comprised of established measures relating to psychological capital, employee engagement, and creativity – in addition to various demographic questions. The data obtained were then analyzed using SPSS. The findings showed a significant positive effect of employee psychological capital on creativity. However, mediation analysis using bootstrapping methods has revealed that employee engagement has partially mediated the relationship between psychological capital and creativity. Moreover, the researcher was curious to dig more into the impact of each dimension of psychological capital (self-efficacy, hope, resilience, optimism) on creativity with engagement acting as a mediator. Results revealed a positive significant effect of each of self-efficacy, optimism, hope, and resilience, on creativity. Moreover, engagement partially mediated the relationship between each of the four PsyCap dimensions and creativity. The author extends prior research and validates more the findings by exploring the relationship between psychological capital and creativity in new non-western context. Furthermore, to the best of our knowledge, this is the first study that examines the role of engagement in the relationship between psychological capital and creativity. This research has crucial implications for managers and HR professionals.

Witnessing and Bearing Witness. On offering systemic consultations and practices of solidarity at the Uyghur Tribunal.
Authors: Burck Charlotte , Hughes Gillian , Granville Julia , Nelki Julia
Published: July 2022

The experience of offering therapeutic support to the Uyghur Tribunal held in London in June and September 2021 powerfully brought home the critical variations in the meanings of witnessing and bearing witness and what they entail. In this paper, we explore the role of witnessing through offering systemic consultation to those who have experienced human rights violations and those who have witnessed these accounts and discuss our observations about the healing power of acts of resistance/activism.
We are four systemic psychotherapists, with a particular interest in narrative practices, and approaches that foreground social justice. With a concern not to become “failed witnesses” which Jessica Benjamin (2014) describes as “a failure of those not involved in the acts of injury to serve the function of acknowledging and actively countering or repairing the suffering and injury that they encounter as observers in the social world”, we attempt here to communicate our experience of witnessing and joining with, through practices of solidarity, those bearing witness at the People's Tribunal held to hear evidence about China's alleged genocide and crimes against humanity against Uyghur, Kazakh and other Turkic Muslim populations.
THE HUMAN HAIR FOLLICLE AS BATTERY WITH SHAFT AS BIPOLAR EXTENSION INTRODUCING IN VITRO EXPERIMENTS DEMONSTRATING PRESENCE OF BIPOLAR ELECTRICAL CHARGES INHERENT IN THE HUMAN HAIR SHAFT INDUCED BY THE FOLLICLE’S DC CURRENTS
Authors: Embi Abraham A.
Published: July 2022

The main purpose of this manuscript is to enumerate prior published in vitro individual findings by this author and others with the ultimate goal to demonstrate the human hair similarity with a DC battery. This by the hair root as the energy source and the hair shaft as a bipolar (+−) extension of the follicle’s DC currents. The human hair consists of a follicle anchored in the skin and a protruding shaft, it has also been described as a miniorgan, having its own cells division, metabolism and known to undergo aging stages; eventually reaching a point where the old hair sheds and a new hair growing cycle begins from the same follicular tissue. Using sophisticated magnetometers, magnetic fields emitted by direct currents (DC) in human hair follicle was detected and introduced in 1980. Most recently in 2015, a tabletop optical microscopy method was developed and published in 2016, thus allowing for the detection of hair follicles and shafts magnetic fields. Utilizing this novel microscopy technique, this author and others were able to again identify the follicle and shaft magnetic fields by interacting with cyano-compounds powder in solution. Qualitative images are presented where the bipolar property of the shaft is inferred by using fresh blood on a glass slide. This inference was rationalized since blood tissue material is known to express negative charges, thus repelled by an equal charge. The shaft is repeatedly shown in experiments to express a contralateral positive side. The positive side triggering fibrin formation documented by images showing intricate networks indicative of undergoing blood coagulation. Conversely, the contralateral negative side is shown as repelling blood tissue, thus inhibiting coagulation. Additionally, other experiments elucidate the follicle as a DC energy source; and the hair shaft as its bipolar extension.

The challenge and issues of women procuring abortion had been documented for centuries. Most of these acts had been illegitimate, obtained from unlicensed health centres and had resulted in too many complications and death of some of the women. These post-abortal complications are mostly under-reported since they are done in secrecy and the victims themselves do not want to face the public stigmatization that goes with public knowledge that one did an abortion. These abortion clinics are illegal, not meant to offer such services, manned by improperly trained personnels. The environment may not be conducive, the instruments used may not be appropriate and also may not be properly sterilized. But they are highly patronized by desperate women and girls who got pregnant unintentionally and must terminate such pregnancies at all cost and any means. They cannot go to public hospitals or to most privately owned hospitals because abortion is a criminal act that may attract criminal prosecution and a jail term. So, the numerous undocumented abortions are done in these unsanitary centres. Some do well, but some end up with complications. Our report is one of such cases that ended with a peculiar complication that only manifested years afterwards. It was a unique case of a bony part of the aborted foetus that was retained in the Teenager’s uterus and caused infertility even after the she got married.

Hospital pharmacists play vital roles in the healthcare system. They are being submerged in various working conditions which can affect their occupational health. As the COVID-19 pandemic emerged, changes in healthcare context altered working conditions of hospital pharmacists which may cause occupational stress. This study determined if there was a relationship between the working conditions and the occupational stresses of hospital pharmacists before and during the pandemic. Using a purposive sampling technique, the researchers conducted an online survey among 80 hospital pharmacists in selected public and private hospitals in Oriental Mindoro. Data were analyzed using mode and frequency distribution, Wilcoxon’s Test, Pearson’s r, and logistic regression. Results showed a significant relationship between certain working conditions and occupational stresses of respondents, ranging from very low to low. Particularly, the sources of occupational stresses before the pandemic were working hours and workload which were correlated with lack of encouragement and recognition from hospital administration and overlooked concerns by superiors, respectively. Meanwhile, during the pandemic, the working conditions which caused occupational stresses shifted to areas of compensation and administrative support. Compensation was correlated with occupational stresses including: discontentment from quality of work, exhaustion, discomfort from communicating concerns, discontentment from work benefits and compensation, demotivation from delay of salary, burden of working due to difficulties in transportation, overlooked concerns by superiors, and pressure to meet society's high standards for medical treatment, while administrative support was correlated with lack of encouragement and recognition from hospital administrations and feeling of being undervalued as legitimate healthcare workers.

Results: Sixty cases of cancer were collected. The average age was 53 years old. Patients between the ages of 45 and 65 reached 53%. The sex ratio was 0.27. The Sakalava ethnic group predominated in 40% of patients. The majority (56%) lived in the city center. Gynecological cancers were the most frequent 61.5% (cervix 26.6%, breast 23.3%, uterus 8.3% and ovary 3.3%). Prostate cancer was the first cancer in men and represented 10% of our patients. No lung cancer was recorded during the study. All the anatomopathology results came from the Antananarivo laboratories. The mean time to diagnosis was 16 months. The cancer evolved in 83%. Patients requiring radiotherapy were referred to Antananarivo. Conclusion: improving cancer care requires awareness-raising and screening. The establishment of an anatomopathology unit and bronchial fibroscopy increased the number of cancers in Antsiranana.

Primary (acute and chronic) malnutrition is still prevalent in developing countries because of inadequate nutrition and poor sanitation caused by social, economic, and environmental factors. In addition, acute malnutrition can occur secondary to an underlying disease that interferes with the intake, digestion, absorption, or assimilation of different nutrients increases nutrient loss, and/or increases energy expenditure. Immune dysfunction and infection are tightly linked to and actively contribute to the metabolic and hormonal dysregulation as well as to the progression of malnutrition. An inadequate dietary intake of macro-and micronutrients is proposed to adversely affect local intestinal and systemic immunity, intestinal mucosal integrity, and the interaction between host defense and pathogens. Lowered immunity, mucosal damage, recurrent and prolonged infections, and gut inflammation negatively affect the malnourished child growth in weight and height as well as psycho-mental development in endemic areas. Both infection and inflammation aggressively contribute to malnutrition triggering a vicious cycle. Almost all infantile and childhood malnutrition in endemic settings (unlike anorexia nervosa) results from deficient diet, infection, inflammation, and intestinal dysfunction (most children in endemic areas have environmental enteric dysfunction (EED), often with high fecal inflammatory markers. We highlight gaps in our understanding of the current interaction among immune dysfunction, infection, and inflammation in malnourished children, and evaluate the possible responsibility of pro-inflammatory cytokines in the initiation and progression of severe malnutrition. Breach of the malicious cycle between malnutrition and infection/inflammation requires innovative interferences to recover the immune defense and enforce host defense against pathogens and reduce morbidity and mortality.

Objective: To determine the bacterial load in the dental units of the undergraduate clinics and the radiology area of the Faculty of Dentistry of the University of Cuenca after the disinfection protocol used by the cleaning staff. Introduction: Dentistry is considered a high-risk profession for that reason people who are part of the work team and the patients are exposed to pathogenic microorganisms. For this reason, it is too important and necessary to establish asepsis, antisepsis and biosafety protocols in order to reduce and prevent contamination and proliferation. Materials and methods: A total number of 13 different surfaces were evaluated for the collection of the sample, the sterile Stuart transport medium was used to subsequently seed it in the blood agar media. Results: At 48 hours there was no growth of colonies, however at 96 hours the following colonies were obtained: Adult clinic (Bacillus spp: 4000 CFU/ML), child clinic (Bacillus spp: 2000 CFU/ML, Coagulase-negative Staphylococcus: 1000 UFC/ML) and radiology (Bacillus spp: 1000 CFU/ML). Conclusions: The cleaning and disinfection protocols used in the clinics and radiology service of the Faculty of Dentistry of the University of Cuenca are not enough to kill microorganisms completely. Although the CFUs were relatively lower compared to other studies, it is still a predisposing factor for infections in patients, operators, teachers and even cleaning staff.

The ability of microorganisms to utilize used oil in contaminated soil from some selected major mechanic workshops in Ado Ekiti metropolis as a sole source of carbon and energy was studied. Soil samples collected from the two major mechanic workshops at Adebayo, and Irona Quarters in Ado-Ekiti were analyzed for the microbiological and physicochemical qualities using the basic microbiological methods. The physicochemical properties of the soil samples shows that the value of pH range from 5.45 to pH 5.58, percentage of carbon range from 3.98 % to 4.20%, nitrogen content varies from 2.20 to 2.40. The total heterotrophic bacterial counts from the mechanic workshops ranges from 7.52 x 106 to 8.25 x 106cfu/g while the total heterotrophic fungal counts ranges from 5.54 x 106 to 6.25 x 106 cfu/g. The bacterial recovered from the oil contaminated soils include Staphylococcus spp., Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Bacillus spp., E. coli and Acinobacter spp. The frequency of occurrence of the microbial isolates revealed that Bacillus cereus 5 (31.25%) occurred most, followed by Pseudomonas aeruginosa (18.75%), Acinetobacter spp. (18.75%) and E. coli (18.75%) while Citrobacter freundii (12.50%) had the lowest frequency of occurrence. The results of this study have showed that some of the isolated organism can be used for bioremediation of the contaminated soil.
The incessant act of open urination in our community: Is there nothing that can be done to stop this act?

It is a relatively common sight to see men pull down their trousers and underwear and quickly urinate at every and any available place. This is also sometimes done in public and open places, with no regard to decency, not minding who is looking at their indecent exposures. This act could be into stagnant gutters, by road sides, in market squares, in major parks etc. Even women are not left out in this indecent and unhygienic exposure, but are more discreet. This short exposure is to be regarded as a clarion call for the government to build public toilets in strategic places for the populace to use so as to prevent and reduce the irrational open urination that is rampant presently.

Modern agriculture, such as aquaponics, has become a well-known solution nowadays for farming, especially in Asia countries. It provides an alternative to support food demands and maintain environmental sustainability. However, it requires manpower and time to maintain and monitor the system. This research proposes a smart automation aquaponic monitoring system that helps users maintain and monitor the system through smartphone applications. The system uses DHT11 to record temperature and humidity, HC-SR04 for water level, and FC-28 to maintain soil moisture. The sensors are integrated with WeMos D1 Wi-Fi Uno based ESP8266 microcontroller to process the data. The data collected is stored in the cloud and retrieved via the Blynk application, which also performs as an actuator and allows users to control the parameters involved. The application helps to monitor the humidity, temperature, and water level in the fish tank and control the actuator for feeding fish. The system also sends a notification to the user for any activities performed, such as watering plants, feeding fish, and abnormality of temperature in the surroundings. The performance of the system was evaluated using regression modeling. The result indicates positive growth for both plants and fish during the monitoring duration, suggesting the proposed system's effectiveness. Overall, this solution helps to reduce manpower and operation costs as well as alternatives for food demand and stabilize environmental sustainability, especially in the urban residency.
