This study plans to look at the execution of the benefit-sharing framework at Bank Rakyat Indonesia (BRI) Syariah in Bandar Lampung City. The quick advancement of Islamic banking, particularly in correlation with regular banking, shows the high open revenue in monetary foundations that consent to Islamic sharia standards.
This exploration utilizes a subjective methodology with interview strategies and writing studies, zeroing in on the utilization of the mutlaqah mudharabah contract for Hajj travel costs. Information examination includes data from Bank BRI Syariah Bandar Lampung Branch and considers factors, for example, BI Rate, bank benefit, bank FDR, and economic situations. The outcomes showed that the benefit-sharing framework at Bank BRI Syariah Bandar Lampung Branch depends on income sharing, whereas benefit sharing depends on all-out income before deducting costs. Bank BRI Syariah sets a base equilibrium standard, and the benefit sharing is changed by the equilibrium. Albeit the benefit-sharing framework enjoys benefits in decency and consistency with sharia standards, the elevated degree of chance in mudharabah and musyarakah support is one of the principal impediments. This examination creates a top-to-bottom comprehension of the execution of the benefit-sharing framework at Bank BRI Syariah, as well as the difficulties and strategies looked at in carrying out Islamic sharia standards in its financial exercises. The discoveries of this exploration give important bits of knowledge to other Islamic monetary establishments and related gatherings to work on the viability and manageability of the Islamic plan of action in Indonesia.

By addressing the identified challenges and implementing the proposed solutions, the community can harness the full potential of this valuable crop and boost its collective prosperity.
Ethical Pressure and Moral Distress in Middle Leadership: Perspectives from Higher Education in Welfare Professions
Authors: Ribers Bjørn
Published: September 2024

This article illuminates the complex work practices of middle leaders in the higher education sector of welfare professionals. It is based on an empirical qualitative interview study exploring ethics and values dilemmas in the work-life of middle leaders and is methodologically anchored in interpretative phenomenological analysis (IPA), which combines hermeneutics and phenomenology with an idiographic approach to qualitative interview research. The empirical foundation consists of five research interviews with middle leaders at university colleges in Denmark, investigating their experience of ethics and values in leadership while being influenced by the complex role of their managerial position, including a particular cross-pressure that originates from hierarchical organisational structures. Building on the informants’ narratives, this article offers an extensive analysis of the complexities of middle leadership in the higher education of welfare professionals. Three central topics evolved through a cross-case analysis of the interviews: 1) values and ethical dilemmas in educational middle leadership, 2) cross-pressure and moral distress in middle leadership and 3) trust, corruption and the significance of listening in middle leadership. This article focuses on the first-person perspective of middle leaders, and the analysis reveals how middle leaders reflect on ethical dilemmas in the practice of educational leadership. Based on these empirical findings, how middle leaders experience ethical pressure and moral distress because of tension between professional values and political and organisational governance is discussed.
Using Solicited Audio Diaries to Capture the HE Educational Leader's Ad-Hoc Tasks
Authors: Lassen Sanna
Published: September 2024

This article explores the qualitative method of audio diaries and assesses their effectiveness in capturing ad-hoc tasks in Higher Education (HE), drawing on a single-case study. There is a shortage of studies linking audio diaries to ad-hoc tasks within the research field. This article contributes new methodological insights by exploring and expanding on previous uses of audio diaries. The focus is on the ad-hoc tasks performed by educational leaders outside the managerial line. This role is often overlooked, as it does not fit within traditional management structures or ordinary collegiality. To highlight the uniqueness of the organisational role, it becomes essential to understand its function, which essentially involves ad-hoc tasks. Methodologically, it is challenging to capture ad-hoc tasks. Participants can have difficulties remembering the momentary work in a later interview, and the researcher cannot be present and observe every moment. In conclusion, exploring the audio diary shows that the method can effectively capture the ad-hoc tasks of educational leaders and, from a single case, provide in-depth information on the educational leader's navigation between professionalism and collegiality. However, it is essential for future research to provide clarity on definitions and instructions.

Citrus species essential oils (EOs) are significant sources of bioactive compounds and demonstrate diverse therapeutic effects. However, limited documentation exists regarding the phytochemicals associated with their biological activities. This study aims to assess the antioxidant activity, plant inhibitory properties, and brine shrimp cytotoxic effects of EOs derived from three Citrus species: C. sinensis, C. limon, and C. hystrix. Utilizing chemometric analysis and gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) fingerprints, the volatile components contributing to antioxidant activity were elucidated. The peels of the Citrus samples were hydro-distillated to obtain EOs, and subsequently subjected to antioxidant, plant inhibitory, and brine shrimp cytotoxic assays. The results indicated that C. limon EO exhibited the highest antioxidant activity, while C. hystrix and C. sinensis EOs demonstrated pronounced inhibitory effects against Artemia salina and Lactuca sativa, respectively. GC-MS analysis facilitated the identification of key compounds in each EO. Principal component analysis and hierarchical cluster analysis effectively categorized Citrus EOs based on their antioxidant properties, highlighting the proximity of C. limon and C. sinensis. Among the identified compounds, D-limonene, α-terpineol, caryophyllene, (+)-3-carene, β-pinene, (-)-spathulenol, trans-p-mentha-1(7),8-dien-2-ol, and trans-verbenol were the most discriminating compounds affected the antioxidant activity of C.limon and C. sinensis EOs.

Agricultural diversification has been recognized as one of the important adaptation strategies for maintaining rural livelihoods, which enhances farm income, generates employment opportunities, and manages risk in agriculture. Despite the benefits of agricultural diversity, farmers’ decisions and influencing factors regarding agricultural diversification have not been well defined. This review article aims to measure the status and influencing factors of agricultural diversification in Bangladesh. The review revealed that progress in cereal foods (rice, wheat, and maize) production increased by1.75 times and non-cereal foods (potatoes, vegetables, fruits, pulse, oilseeds, spices, milk, meat, and fish) production increased by 4.75 times from 2000 to 2022. Moreover, the percentage of non-cereal foods consumption increased from 46.74% in 2000 to 65.92% in 2022. Crop diversification showed an upward trend during this period, while overall diversification in agriculture was an increasing trend with a fluctuating nature.
There are several factors influencing crop and non-crop diversification that were identified in this review article by using different statistical techniques like the Probit model, Tobit model, correlation co-efficient (r), multiple regression, etc. Among these, age, education, farm size with the number of plots, farming experience, family working members, availability of irrigated land, availability of hired labor, family income, farm assets & infrastructure, the share of non-agricultural income, access to markets, credit facility, training received, extension linkage, membership in social organizations, and participation of women in farming were the key factors that have a significant positive influence on agricultural diversification in Bangladesh. The findings of this article have significant implications for extension functionaries and other development workers to find a proper approach to motivate the farmers towards agricultural diversification and enhance the means of livelihood for farm households.

Aim: To identify the phytochemicals present in the methanolic extract of Hernandia peltata Meisn and to assess their potential anti-inflammatory activity using in silico methods.
Place and Duration of Study: Department of Veterinary Pharmacology and Toxicology, College of Veterinary and Animal Sciences, Mannuthy, Thrissur, between February 2024 and March 2024.
Methodology: The chemical profiling of the methanolic leaf extract of Hernandia peltata Meisn. was performed using GC-MS analysis. In silico molecular docking studies were carried out using AutoDock4 to evaluate the binding affinities of these phytochemicals to the active sites of four key proteins involved in anti-inflammatory activity: COX-1, COX-2, 5-LOX, and NOS. Furthermore, the pharmacokinetic properties of the active compounds were analysed using the admetSAR software.
Results: Among the compounds identified through GC-MS analysis, 11 demonstrated promising binding scores. Predictions from admetSAR indicated that these phytoconstituents have favourable absorption, distribution, and metabolism profiles. However, toxicity assessments revealed that most compounds exhibit mutagenic properties at higher doses, and some may have potential carcinogenic effects.
Conclusion: The study effectively identified a variety of bioactive phytochemicals in the methanolic extract of Hernandia peltata and demonstrated their potential anti-inflammatory properties through in silico analysis. These results underscore the therapeutic potential of Hernandia peltata as a source of natural anti-inflammatory agents, encouraging further in vitro and in vivo research to validate these findings.

Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a complex, multi-system disorder characterized by glial cell involvement, immune system dysfunction, axonal transport disturbances, and impaired mitochondrial and neurotrophic support. Developing a specialised database for the efficient screening and identification of potential anti-ALS compounds is essential for advancing therapeutic discovery. This study presents the design and development of OTPD4ALS (Open Targets Potential Drugs for ALS), a comprehensive database specifically tailored to accelerate the identification of promising drug candidates. The methodology involved curating potential compounds, predicting pharmacokinetics in batches, and structuring the database for optimal accessibility. OTPD4ALS provides a streamlined platform for quickly identifying potential therapeutic compounds and is publicly available at https://otpd4als.vercel.app.

Authors: Nath Dipak , Gohain Ingita
Published: September 2024

The study was carried out on 270 randomly selected rural women of 3 districts from the state of Assam (India), namely Tinsukia, Nagaon and Barpeta, to find the existing knowledge of respondents on nutrition and hygiene. The knowledge on nutrition and hygiene was measured in terms of knowledge statements known and unknown by the respondents regarding nutrition and hygiene. It is found that 100 percent of respondents did not know that the first and main symptom of a child suffering from Protein Energy Malnutrition (PEM) is loss of weight according to age and that the Colostrums is rich in Fat, but majority of the respondents (63.33%) knew mother’s milk was easily available, pure and safe as it has the correct temperature. It is very interesting to note that only 8.15 percent of respondents knew that rinsing utensils with hot water before using them is necessary.

Carrots (Daucus carota L.) are rich in vitamins B1, B2, B6, β-carotene, and dietary fibers, having nutritional benefits such as, antioxidant, and anticancer properties. Carrot offers a valuable nutritional boost for enhancing bakery products. Incorporating carrot into cake preparation not only adds a unique flavor and moist texture but also boosts the nutritional value with additional vitamins and fiber. The research systematically examines the effects of varying process parameters such as carrot, sweetened condensed milk, and whey protein concentrate (WPC) on specific volume, springiness, and overall acceptability of carrot cake using Central Composite Design (CCD) of Response Surface Methodology (RSM). The optimal formulation for carrot cake consisted of 70.8 g of carrot, 200 g of sweetened condensed milk, and 4.2 g of WPC. This combination resulted in a high-quality carrot cake with a specific volume of 2.58 cm³/g, a springiness measurement of 1.049 mm, and an overall acceptability rating of 8.3. This approach not only enhances product quality but also supports waste reduction by valorizing carrot, aligning with sustainable food processing practices.

The experiment was conducted at the Horticulture Farm of Sher-e-Bangla Agricultural University, Dhaka during April to August 2015. BARI Dherosh-1 was used in this experiment. The experiment consisted of two factors viz., Potassium fertilizer as K0: 0 kg K2O/ha (control), K1: 60 kg K2O/ha, K2: 90 kgK2O/ha and K3: 120 kg K2O/ha; and Gibberellic acid (3 levels) as G0: 0 ppm GA3 (control) G1: 60 ppm GA3, G2: 90 ppm GA3 respectively. The experiment was laid out in Randomized Complete Block Design with three replications. All the parameters were significantly influenced by different levels of potassium and gibberellic acid. Due to the effect of potassium, the highest yield (19.04 t/ha) was observed from K3 and the lowest yield (12.11 t/ha) from K0. In case of Gibberellic acid, the highest yield (17.08t/ha) was found from G2 and the lowest yield (16.01 t/ha) from G0. From growth, yield and economic point of view, it is apparent that the application of 120 kg K2O/ha with 90 ppm GA3 was the best for growth and yield of okra.

The study was conducted in the Department of Soil Science and Agricultural Chemistry, College of Agriculture, Vellayani, Thiruvananthapuram, India to evaluate the effect of sewage sludge (SS), sewage sludge compost (SSC) and sewage sludge biochar (sewchar, SC) on plant growth and productivity. Comparative studies showing the effect of sewage sludge, sewage sludge compost and its biochar on plant growth and productivity are limited. Sewage sludge, sawdust, zeolite (50:30:20) and 2.5 kg of flyash were combined and composted for 60 days to prepare sewage sludge compost. Sewchar was prepared through the process of slow pyrolysis at a temperature of 400℃ for 2 hours. A field experiment was conducted to using marigold as a test crop. Experimental results showed that conversion of sewage sludge to sewchar causes the enrichment of nutrients in them. Field experiment revealed that maximum N, P, K content, uptake and yield parameters such as flower diameter (9.35 cm), flower weight (9.21 g) and number of flowers per plant (98) was recorded with sewchar received treatments compared to other treatments. Gradual release of nutrients from sewchar is important in maintaining the soil fertility and boosting the plant growth parameters and productivity.

Published: September 2024

Odontomes are hamartomatous lesions of odontogenic origin, classified under ‘Benign Mixed Epithelial & Mesenchymal Odontogenic Tumors’ by WHO 2022. They are mostly detected as incidental findings on standard radiographs due to their slow growth and benign behaviour. Occasionally, they may cause complications such as delayed tooth eruption, impaction, deflection, or retention of teeth. Only 2% cases have shown impaction of a deciduous tooth. We hereby report a case of a compound odontoma in a 5-year-old child causing impaction of a deciduous canine.
