Carvacrol is one of the most ancient medicinal herbs. Carvacrol contains different alkaloids, flavonoids and saponins. In present studies the antimicrobial activity of Carvacrol alcoholic extract against Gram-negative bacterial and Gram-positive bacterial were determined by the microtiter plate method. Gram-negative bacterial and Gram-positive bacterial strains isolated from osteomyelitis patients after surgery in Mosul city , A total of 60 samples were collected from various sources in Mosul hospitals, during the period from January 10, 2024 , to May 1, 2024. The Aim of this study is determining the effectiveness and effect of alcoholic extract of carvacrol on bacterial isolates taken from a Osteomyelitis after surgery. Bacterial culture results on blood agar, MacConkey agar and nutreint agar revealed 54 positive samples for bacterial growth. Among these, Staphylococcus aureus 22 isolates (32.8%), Pseudomonas aeruginosa 12 isolates (17.9%), Enterobacter cloacae 5 isolates (7.5%) Klebsiella pneumoniae 4 isolates (5.9%), Escherichia coli 4 isolates (5.9%), Proteus mirabilis 3 isolates (4.5%), Streptococcus viridans 3 isolates (4.5%), Corynebacterium spp 2 isolates (3%). As for the following bacterial isolates, each of them constituted one isolate out of a total of 67 isolates, at a rate of 1.5% for each: Providencia spp. , Acinetobacter spp., Staphylococcus saprophyticus , Klebsiella oxytoca , Enterococcus spp. , Enterococcus faecium , Citrobacter freundii , Streptococcus groups C , Bacillus cereus , Enterobacter spp. , Acinetobacter baumannii , Morganella morganii, using vitek-2. High-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) analysis of Oregano plant revealed the presence of active compounds such as Carvacrol, thymol. Plant extracts from carvacrol demonstrated a substantial inhibitory effect. Results: study indicated that plant extracts exhibited higher inhibition than antibiotics. The minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) while the results of the lowest inhibitory concentration of carvacrol for the bacterial species under study showed that it had an effect at a concentration of 615 µg/ml against Escherichia coli, 307.5 µg/ml for the species Corynebacterium stratium, Morganella morganii and Pseudomonas aeruginosa, and the least effect was 76.875 µg/ml on Staphylococcus aureus, it gave less results than the antibiotic used Carvacrol (Absorbance was measured at Wavelength 600) .

Published: August 2024

For universities, leader performance is a determining factor for success. Organizational culture grows with the organization's leaders. In addition, there is a tendency to change the organizational culture perspective towards subjectivism (Clark, Geertz, Schwartz & Ogilvy, Weick). For the University of Lampung (Unila), which was founded in 1965, it turns out that leaders' communication performance under pressure of problems can maintain its academic culture. Initially, this research began with a decrease in Unila's ranking among Indonesian universities in 2019. After conducting the study, two cultural orientations were found, which are being a research university and an educational university. These two value orientations have the power to increase Unila's ranking among universities, as well as becoming a legacy. In 2022 there was a corruption case by university leaders, accepting bribes in admitting new students. The research continues with a focus on how a guided communication culture can maintain Unila's ranking. Data collection was carried out through intensive interviews with the new rector, vice rectors and faculty deans. The results show a picture of typical leader communication patterns, to maintain a sustainable academic culture. First, in the context of recovery, prioritizing internal communication patterns through ritual activities. Second, the slogan “Be Strong” was symbolically proclaimed within the academic community. Third, the communication pattern that is practiced both in the leadership ranks through the division of roles and among all members is to create togetherness, support each other, and reduce structural barriers.

Published: August 2024

The scope of synthetic biology continues to expand and has encompassed a huge number of biological features. Its scope starts from scratch, enabling the de novo synthesis of biological systems. It has re-designed the biological systems and empowered the production of synthetic genes, RNA, DNA and proteins by undertaking the control of pathways involved in genetic regulation. It has increased the production of nano-scale RNA architectures and synthetic biological circuits which either have therapeutic or other productive uses. Furthermore, advancements in synthetic biology have enabled the generation of diversity through methods such as epPCR and site-directed mutagenesis, allowing for the creation of complex genetic variations. Additionally, synthetic biology intersects with computer engineering to design functional biological devices and circuits, utilizing computational analysis to guide the design process. Moreover, ethical and regulatory considerations are paramount in synthetic biology, with careful examination required to address dual-use concerns, environmental impacts, and issues of social justice and equitable access to benefits. As synthetic biology continues to advance, it presents opportunities to address pressing challenges in fields ranging from medicine and agriculture to environmental conservation and beyond. Thus, the fusion of synthetic biology with other scientific disciplines holds promise for transformative innovation and societal benefit. The present discussion enlightened the core of generating complex biological systems and has given a brief overview on the fusion of synthetic biology with other fields of science.Keywords: Biological Systems; Genetic Regulation; Synthetic biology circuits

Published: August 2024

Objective: To investigate existence of oral tori and bony exostoses and their correlation/effect to temporomandibular disorders and parafunctional habits. Materials and Methods: A cross sectional descriptive and analytical study was carried out among 100 patients who attended polyclinic KOD, IIUM. Demographic background, status of oral tori, parafunctional activities (PFA) and temporomandibular disorder (TMD) were assessed. A cross analysis was done between gender, age group, oral tori, bony exostoses, temporomandibular disorder and parafunctional activities.Results: In this study, half of the patients had oral tori and bony exostoses; it was significantly seen among the female patients within 21 and 50 year old age group. In a cross analysis between PFA and TMD and oral tori and bony exostoses status, 42% of the sample who did not have both PFA and TMD also did not have both tori and bony exostoses. 4% of the sample had both PFA and TMD but absent of both oral tori and bony exostoses. Although, PFA and TMD were considered as two groups (absent or present), there was a significant association (p<0.05) between PFA and TMD and the existence of oral tori and bony exotoses, not significant (p>0.05) when PFA and TMD as in 4 groups (both absent, only PFA, only TMD and both present). Conclusion: The study showed there is still argument on association between PFA and TMD and the existence of oral tori and bony exostoses. It may be due to both of them are not from the same aetiology and/or small sample size. Further study should be conducted with proper study design with adequate sample size

Published: August 2024

Dans son ouvrage The Mysteries of Taal, Hargrove (1991) décrit le volcan
Taal à la fois comme une bénédiction et une malédiction. Ce mélange de caractères ainsi
qu’un relief géologique dangereux et important sur les plans culturel et économique révèlent
bien la place du Taal dans l’histoire et la culture des Philippines. Le présent article
décrit cette dynamique particulière au volcan Taal. À travers l’étude d’analyses
scientifiques et d’anecdotes culturelles et historiques, je tente de décrire et d’analyser
les représentations du Taal au fil du temps : en tant que paysage physique, objet d’études
scientifiques, et en tant que paysage imaginé, objet de productions culturelles. Cette
approche permet de saisir comment les volcans, l’un des types de relief naturel les plus
potentiellement destructeurs, tendent à être perçus non seulement comme des sources de
danger, mais également comme des catalyseurs de la survie économique et de la production
intellectuelle.

Published: August 2024

Purpose and Objectives: Markets such as Coimbatore, Tiruppur and Erode district Cooperative Jaggery Marketing Federation (CTEDCJMF), Selur Farmers Sugarcane Products Market (Farmers jaggery market), Pilikalpalayam and Chitthode jaggery market exclusively for jaggery and khandsari sugar, coconut and palm sugar.
Methodology: Snowball sampling method was used for the data collection and also producers, visiting the market also enrolled in the study. Totally 30 producers of each sugar, 60 middlemens and 120 consumers who purchased sugar through the identified marketing channels were interviewed for the study. The data collected were analyzed to determine the cost and returns for three types of sugar. The price spread at various marketing levels, trader concentration ratios, and consumer buying behavior towards alternate forms of sugar were also examined. Principal component analysis was used to identify factors influencing consumer purchases of alternate forms of sugar.
Key Findings: The results of the sample respondents showed that sample respondents of jaggery and khandsari sugar producers, majority of the sample respondents were aged between 31-40 years (33.33%) followed by 26.67 percent in the category of 20-30 years, about 23.33 per cent of the sample respondents in the producer category were aged above 50 years, followed by 16.67 per cent aged between 41-50 years.
Implications: Hence, the demand for coconut sugar is very low, so promotional efforts should be made to popularize its health benefits among consumers. In the case of jaggery and khandsari sugar, product modification into cube form (similar to white sugar cubes) will increase market preference and acceptability.

Authors: Oluwagbemiga Ige Peter , Emunu Silas Abigail 
Published: August 2024

Volume estimation is a crucial part of every forest or plantation because it provides the quantity of timber or wood available at a given period and predicts future or expected growth of the forest. Unfortunately, local volume table are not readily available for some–economically important tree species in Nigeria. Hence, it is of paramount importance that local volume tables for economic tree species such as Pinus caribbaea in Area J4, Omo Forest reserve, Ogun state, Nigeria.
Aim: The aim of this study is to develop a local volume table for Pinus caribbaea in Area J4, Omo Forest Reserve, Ogun State, Nigeria.
Study Design: Simple random sampling was used for this study. Ten Temporary Sample Plots (TSP) of equal size 25m x 25m were randomly located in the selected plantation (P. caribbaea: established in 1997). All the trees with diameter at breast height (dbh) ≥ 10cm in each TSP were enumerated.
Place and Duration of Study: The study was carried out in the Pinus caribbaea plantation in Area J4, Omo forest reserve, Ogun State from November 9th to 20th, 2023.
Methodology: The total tree height, merchantable height, diameters at the top, middle, base, and dbh were measured and used to estimate stand volume. A volume table was developed using five selected models, and the best model was selected using least Akaike Information Criterion (AIC), Bayesian Information Criterion (BIC) and Root Mean Square Error (RMSE). Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and regression at α0.05 with R statistical software.
Results: The results obtained in P. caribbaea plantation revealed that the dbh and height were 27.93±6.95 cm and 28.72±3.47 m, respectively, while individual tree volume was 0.83±0.57m3. The combined variable model ( was selected as the best model to develop local volume table for P. caribbaea (AIC = -54.73, BIC = -45.49 and RMSE = 0.20). The statistical metrics implied a suitable selected model which can be use for future predictions with minimal error.
Conclusion: The developed volume table for estimating the quantity of wood or timber available in the Pinus caribaea plantation at a given time. The volume model and local volume table developed are to be applied only to the Pinus caribaea plantation in the study area for continuous estimation and valuation of the species.
