Authors: Azhibekov Aibek , Menchisheva Yuliya , Espolayeva Aikerim , Uglanov Zharkynbek , Tsokov Krasimir Tsvetanov , Mirzakulova Ulmeken 
Published: October 2024

Aims and Background
The aim of the current study is to assess and compare the efficacy of the leukocyte-platelet-rich fibrin [L-PRF] in combination with sub-epithelial connective tissue graft [SCTG] and SCTG only in promoting aesthetic results and strengthening the state of the soft tissue surrounding implants.

Materials and Methods
A parallel-arm randomized controlled clinical trial was used for this investigation. A total of 120 patients who had missing teeth with a thin gingival biotype [less than 1.5 mm] were included in this study. The patients of Group I were treated with PRF and SCTG during second-stage implant surgery, while the patients of Group II were treated with SCTG only. Treatment outcomes included the assessment of the width and thickness of the keratinized tissue at the baseline, 3 and 6 months postoperatively; pro- and anti-inflammatory cytokines [IL-1β, TNF-α, and IL-4] in the peri-implant crevicular fluid on the 1st, 7th and 30th days after surgical procedure; swabs from the surface of postoperative wounds of the mucous membrane on days 3, 5, 7, and 10; Pink aesthetic score [PES] 6 months after prosthesis placement; and laser Doppler flowmetry on days 1, 7, and 14 after augmentation.

Results and Discussion
Patients who received L-PRF+SCTG had a significant increase in keratinized tissue thickness [KTT] [p = 0.08] than those who received SCTG only [KTT 1.86 ± 0.17 Vs 1.48 ± 0.15] 6 months after surgery. The mean [±SD] of PES was found to be 13.1 [±0.02] for Group I and 11.3 [±0.08] for Group II. The cytology, LDF, and local immunoassay analysis demonstrated faster epithelialization and better revascularization in Group I.

Conclusion
The use of L-PRF and SCTG is an effective method in augmenting peri-implant soft tissue and improving gingival biotype and aesthetic outcomes, which would help overcome complications and increase patients’ satisfaction.

Published: October 2024

Introduction/Objective
Perimenopause is a period where the ovary gradually starts to produce less estrogen. One of the impacts that could happen during perimenopause is the onset of depression arising from hormonal and metabolic disorders due to the significant decrease of ovarium function and secretion of endogenous estrogen. This study was conducted to assess the factors related to depression in perimenopausal women.

Methods
A multivariate linear regression analysis with a cross-sectional design was conducted at a Central General Hospital in Medan, Indonesia, from October 2023 to January 2024. Subjects were perimenopausal female staff at the hospital who met the inclusion and exclusion criteria. Symptoms of depression were assessed using the Beck Depression Inventory-II (BDI-II) score. Data analysis was conducted using bivariate and multivariate tests with linear regression.

Results
A total of 111 subjects were included in this study. The median age was 48 years, and the median Body Mass Index (BMI) was 25. The mean depression score based on BDI-II was 12.96±7.084. Bivariate analysis showed significance on age, years of education, total monthly income, BMI, and number of pregnancies. Multivariate analysis showed that total monthly income had the highest correlation amongst other variables, followed by age, while the number of pregnancies had the lowest correlation.

Conclusion
In conclusion, there was a significance between depression and age, income, and number of pregnancies in perimenopausal staff. On the other hand, there was no significance between depression and years of education, BMI, marital status, and chronic disease.

Authors: Raesi Rasoul , Sadeghmoghadam Leila , Mohammadpour Ali , Najafi Samane , Movahedi Yones 
Published: October 2024

Background:
The COVID-19 pandemic was associated with the challenge of health literacy
of patients and the care burden of family caregivers.

Aim:
The present study was conducted to determine the relationship between the health literacy of
patients discharged with the diagnosis of COVID-19 and the care burden of family caregivers.

Methods:
This descriptive and analytical study was conducted on 290 people who were COVID-19
patients and 290 people who were their family caregivers in 2022. The study used the convenience
sampling method in hospitals located in 22 Bahman Khaf and Allameh Bohlol Gonabadi. The data
were collected using the health literacy questionnaire of Montazeri et al. (2005) and the burden of
care questionnaire of Zarit et al. (1998). The data were analyzed using SPSS-22 statistical software
and Kolmogorov-Smirnov, independent t, Pearson correlation coefficient, and ANOVA tests at a
significance level of 0.05.

Results:
The level of health literacy in most patients was weak. The burden of care for most family
caregivers was severe. There was a negative and significant relationship between the health literacy
of patients in general and the care burden of family caregivers in general (p<0.001). For an increase
of one health literacy score in general, the care burden score decreases by 0.44.

Conclusion:
As the health literacy of patients increases, the care burden of their family caregivers
decreases. Therefore, scientific and practical training plans for patients are recommended to health
policymakers to improve health literacy and ultimately reduce the care burden of family caregivers.

Physiological responses of the Asian green mussel (<i>Perna viridis</i>) in highly turbid waters
Authors: Argente Francis Albert T. 
Published: October 2024

In order to simulate conditions induced by climate change, the filtration rates and pseudofaeces production of Perna viridis from two distinct size categories were investigated at progressively increasing total suspended solid concentrations. Filtration rates of smaller mussels increased with increasing total suspended solid concentration. For larger mussels, filtration rates increased with increased concentration up to 800 mg L–1, after which filtration rate dropped sharply. Pseudofaeces production also increased with increasing total suspended solid concentration up to 600 mg L–1, beyond which no further significant increase was observed for large mussels, and there was a considerable decline for small mussels. The results show that the mussels of different sizes have different filtration rates with smaller mussels ranging from 0.11 to 2.62 mg min–1 and in larger mussels from 0.21 to 4.83 mg min–1. Pseudofaeces production ranged from 0.08 to 0.67 mg min–1 for small mussels and from 0.02 to 1.42 mg min–1 for larger mussels. These results may imply that smaller mussels are more vulnerable to siltation and high sediment load compared to larger individuals. In the natural environment, this situation can be caused by more frequent and severe typhoons resulting from climate change.

Authors: Baharuddin Nur Farhah , Omar Wan Marhaini Wan 
Published: October 2024

Numerous organizations have been compelled to adopt new ways of managing work and the environment because of the pandemic. Understanding the resilience dynamics during the adoption of digital technology is more important than ever considering challenges like terrorism, economic recessions, mass migration, cyberattacks, and a variety of other socio-political and economic trends. Reviewing publications that examine the connection between digital technologies and organizational resilience from 2014 to 2024 is the goal of this project. The PRISMA approach was used to conduct a systematic review. 47 relevant papers were found as a consequence of this, most of which came from the Scopus database. This implies that academics are engaged in the subject. The papers consistently cited the diffusion of innovation (DOI) theory and the technology-organization-environment (TOE) framework, with a bias towards quantitative research methods. Five major themes emerge from the analysis: digital transformation, organizational resilience, business performance, innovation, and adoption of digital technology. By providing new perspectives, the study closes gaps in the literature. It was believed that the Journal of Technological Forecasting and Social Change was a valuable source of information on studies on digital adoption. Based on the results, the report offers recommendations and points up directions for future research to increase organizational resilience by utilizing digital technology. Organizations may leverage digital technology to effectively overcome obstacles and prosper in a constantly changing landscape by implementing these suggested practices.

Authors: Nasir Syahira , Jamaludin Salwaty , Safian Sharul Shahida Shakrein , Malek Nazurah Abdul , Abdul Aziz Muhammad Ridzuan 
Published: October 2024

Okun’s Law explains an inverse relationship between unemployment and GDP. To re-examine the validity of Okun’s Law to the Malaysian economy through the period of 1988 until 2021, this paper employed the Ordinary Least Squares (OLS) approach with several diagnostic tests. The findings indicate that there is a significant relationship between GDP and unemployment. The control variables - population, inflation rate, and FDI also significantly affect unemployment. While the country's GDP and inflation rate have a negative relationship with unemployment, population and FDI have a positive relationship with unemployment in Malaysia. Therefore, Okun’s Law is valid in the case of Malaysia.
Re-visiting the E-SERVQUAL and Expectancy Disconfirmation Theory in the Context of the Service Industry in Malaysia
Authors: Hasan Zuhairah , Mohammad Asri Muhammad Farhan , Bashirun Siti Norashikin , Mustakim Nurul Ain 
Published: October 2024

The SERVQUAL model has been used for several years to illustrate the relationships between tangible, assurance, reliability, responsiveness, empathy, and customer satisfaction. This paper posits that the SERVQUAL model requires an extension to better explain the relationships between the factors that influence customer satisfaction. The main difference is that the revised SERVQUAL includes the dimensions that apply to the online service industry or e-commerce, thus the proposed e-SERVQUAL comprises fulfillment, efficiency, privacy, and system availability. In this paper, e-SERVQUAL pinpointed two underpinning theories which are e-SERVQUAL and Expectancy Disconfirmation Theory (EDT). This study delves into the foundation, expansion, and evolvement of both theories particularly in the online food delivery service industry in Malaysia. The main objective of this paper is to present the reviews of the literature on e-SERVQUAL and Expectancy Disconfirmation Theory on the relationship between the elements that influence e-customer satisfaction. The study contributes to developing and improving the model that defines service quality in a digital service context. Correspondingly, it emphasizes the robustness of the theories and further enriches the academic literature.
Derecho de elección de los pueblos originarios en el Estado de Guerrero
Authors: De La Cruz Díaz Eduardo , Caballero Cocteco José Luis 
Published: October 2024

El presente es un estudio descriptivo y analítico que tiene como objetivo dar a conocer el proceso por el que han transitado los municipios de Tecoanapa y Ayutla de los Libres, considerados pueblos originarios del Estado de Guerrero, para elegir a sus autoridades por usos y costumbres, bajo el principio de autonomía y autodeterminación que les confiere el artículo 2 de la Constitución Política de los Estados Unidos Mexicanos.
Las fuentes consultadas fueron secundaria, en su mayoría de instituciones oficiales del ámbito federal y estatal relacionadas con el tema de investigación. Los métodos aplicados fueron el analítico, estadístico y deductivo; se implementaron técnicas de investigación como la ficha de trabajo y bibliográfica; así mismo los antecedentes que permiten comprender el estudio, radican en el análisis de procesos previos que al igual que los municipios de Guerrero, también transitaron por esta ruta. Existe información cuantitativa que permiten conocer más a fondo el proceso para elegir autoridades por usos y costumbres en Guerrero. Concluyendo entre otras cuestiones que a pesar de la existencia de un marco jurídico que implica el reconocimiento de esta forma de elegir autoridades en México, aún no existe en la propia Constitución ni en las leyes secundarias un marco jurídico que haga efectivo el cumplimiento eficaz de esta forma de gobierno, puesto que carece de una estructura orgánica desde el artículo 115 Constitucional, así como un presupuesto similar al del gobierno tradicional.
Do News Reports and Google Searches Impact Bitcoin Prices? An Analysis of Granger Causality
Authors: Prates Rodolfo Coelho , Fonseca Marco Wagner da 
Published: October 2024

Objective: to analyze the Granger causality relationship between the number of Bitcoin news articles, the number of Google searches related to the term "Bitcoin," and the price of the cryptocurrency. The study aims to understand how these variables influence each other using an econometric time series model.

Theoretical framework: the paper is based on studies on financial market efficiency, cryptocurrencies, and Granger causality theory. It reviews research that explores the impact of media information and online searches on the price of financial assets, such as Bitcoin, while also discussing Bitcoin’s role as both a speculative asset and a transactional currency.

Method: the construction of a time series with weekly data, from 2015 to 2018, covering Bitcoin price, the number of news articles, and Google searches. The Vector Autoregressive (VAR) model was used to conduct the Granger causality test and verify if there are causal relationships between these variables.

Results and Discussion: the findings indicate a triple causality relationship among the studied variables. Bitcoin's price influences both the number of news articles and Google searches, and in turn, the articles and searches also influence Bitcoin's price. This suggests that increased interest and media coverage of Bitcoin drive its demand and price.

Research implications: the research suggests that Bitcoin's price behavior is influenced not only by traditional economic factors but also by media information and the volume of online searches. This highlights the importance of informational factors in the cryptocurrency market and the influence of digital media on asset pricing.

Originality/value: the study proposes integrating data from news articles and Google searches with Bitcoin price behavior, applying Granger causality analysis. Its contribution lies in demonstrating the importance of media in the dissemination and pricing of cryptocurrencies, providing a new perspective for the literature on digital assets and speculative behavior.
