Authors: Oladokun Bolaji , Oloniruha Emmanuel , Mazah Deborah , Okechukwu Obediah 
Published: March 2024

Cybersecurity in university libraries, particularly in Africa, is an increasingly critical issue. The technological expansion and adoption in university libraries have heightened the risk of cybercrimes, necessitating a focus on cyberethical practices. The paper has indicated that academic libraries may face threats such as line tapping, improper system processing, and the use of malicious software. These threats bear significant consequences, such as the potential loss of sensitive data, damage to reputation, and financial losses. It is imperative for academic libraries in Nigeria to adopt proactive measures in implementing cyberethics strategies. Such strategies are essential for safeguarding against intellectual property theft, cybercrime, and other ethical concerns associated with the use of technology. The paper therefore examines cybersecurity risks in African university libraries and the need to promote cyberethical practices. The paper employed a qualitative research method based on the explanatory research method. In so doing, the use of a systematic literature review was adopted to examine cybersecurity risks in African university libraries and the imperative to promote cyberethical practices. Using a purposive sampling technique, the authors collected articles published between 2015 and 2023 on databases of Emerald and ResearchGate for the review. The findings of the research illuminate the multifaceted nature of cybersecurity risks, encompassing issues such as malware attacks, phishing, ransomware, and identity theft. These risks, if unaddressed, can lead to severe consequences, including intellectual property theft, reputational damage, and financial losses. Importantly, the study concludes that the increased use of the internet and digital resources has heightened the urgency for African university libraries to actively promote cyberethical practices. The study recommends that African university libraries should prioritize cybersecurity education for both staff and users, libraries must develop and regularly update comprehensive cyberethics policies that address the unique challenges faced in the African context and libraries should explore avenues for improving their technological infrastructure. Investments in advanced security systems, regular software updates, and the adoption of emerging technologies will strengthen their resilience against cyber threats.

Authors: Dia Lama 
Published: March 2024

Purpose: This study aimed to investigate the impact of social working environment and secured working environment on job satisfaction in Lebanese SMEs, with a particular focus on the mediating effect of job satisfaction

Theoretical Framework: A secure working environment is an essential aspect of the workplace that contributes to employee job satisfaction. A secure working environment is free from threats and hazards, and employees feel safe and secure while working. A secure working environment is vital in enhancing job satisfaction among employees.

Design/Methodology/Approach: The study utilized a sample of 350 respondents working in SMEs in Lebanon and employed Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) to test the hypothesized relationships between the variables

Findings: The findings of this study revealed that both social working environment and secured working environment had a significant positive impact on job satisfaction. Specifically, a supportive and friendly social working environment and a secured working environment were found to be associated with higher levels of job satisfaction among employees. Furthermore, the study also found that job satisfaction partially mediated the relationship between social working environment and job satisfaction, as well as the relationship between secured working environment and job satisfaction.

Research, Practical & Social Implications: This suggests that job satisfaction plays a crucial role in explaining the relationship between these variables. These findings have important implications for SMEs in Lebanon and other contexts. For example, employers should prioritize creating a social working environment that fosters teamwork, collaboration, and positive relationships among employees, as well as a secured working environment that prioritizes safety and security. These factors can significantly contribute to employee job satisfaction and overall well-being.

Originality/Value: This research is original and unique and it contributes to the field of Lebanon.

Published: March 2024

The main predisposing factors for DS occurrence and development in dental patients have been identified, and the DS prognosis program and the DS prognosis index have been developed.The program and the prognosis index were tested in 95 dental patients. The control group consisted of 30 patients. Clinical parameters were assessed before treatment, after 1 week, and 1, 6, 12 months. The treatment effectiveness was assessed using the number of good, satisfactory, and unsatisfactory treatment results in each group.The results of clinical observation of patients showed that the use of the DS prognosis program and the DS prognosis index makes it possible not only to clearly inform patients about the level of risk of developing DS, but also to constantly monitor prognostic signs, which increases the treatment effectiveness by 47 %.Good treatment results in 97 % of cases in a long-term period determine the feasibility of including the program we developed and the prognosis index in the complex treatment of DS in dental patients.
Tryptophan and zinc: effect of co-administration on plasma free amino acid homeostasis

Published: March 2024

One of the main hydrophobic amino acids – tryptophan and essential trace element zinc perform numerous and largely overlapping functions in the mammalian body. A huge number of zinc-containing compounds – proteins, en­zymes, transcription factors, and hormones interact with tryptophan metabolites. We have attempted to identify the main effects of amino acids and trace elements on amino acid metabolism in order to determine the general mechanisms and the feasibility of their possible therapeutic use.We have found that the course administration of tryptophan at a dose of 40 mg/kg in blood plasma reduces the total amount of ARUC and increases the concentration of free tryptophan. In animals treated with zinc diaspartate or zinc diaspar­tate together with tryptophan, the total amount of amino acids and their nitrogen-containing metabolites in blood plasma de­ creases. The analysis of individual concentrations of amino acids and their nitrogen-containing metabolites showed that the coadministration of tryptophan and zinc diaspartate is accompanied by statistically significant changes in the concentrations of most of the studied parameters of the amino acid pool (19 out of 35 parameters). It should be noted that the changes in the content of free amino acids and their nitrogen-containing metabolites are unidirectional in the groups of animals treated with zinc diaspartate or zinc diaspartate together with tryptophan (coincidence of effects is 90 %). Thus, our studies showed that the course administration of zinc diaspartate at a dose of 25 mg/kg (2 times higher than an average therapeutic dose) has a pronounced metabolic effect, characterized by changes in the concentrations of free amino acids and their nitrogen-containing metabolites in blood plasma. The course administration of tryptophan at a dose of 40 mg/ kg of body weight (1/2 of a therapeutic dose) has no significant effect on the parameters of the blood plasma aminogram. With the coadministration of zinc diaspartate and tryptophan in the above doses, the revealed changes can be more attributed to the effects of zinc diaspartate.

Experience with pandemics strongly suggests that vaccination of the population in all categories should be a national priority. The choice of a vaccine production platform should be made in such a way as to achieve an optimal effect at the lowest possible cost. A peptide vaccine or a protein platform vaccine could serve these purposes. Oral and intranasal vaccines are also attractive due to the ease of administration to different population groups, and the resulting immunity is not inferior to that of intramuscularly administered vaccines.In this work, synthetic peptides representing the fragments of the surface protein SARS-CoV-2 were investigated. The peptides were prepared by classical peptide synthesis, with peptide No. 1 (Lys-Ile-Ala-Asp-Tyr-Asn-Tyr-Lys-Leu) being immunodominant for the HLA-A02:01 phenotype with a low calculated concentration of half-maximum inhibition. Peptide No. 2 (Val-Arg-Gln-Ala-Pro-Asn-Gly-Gln-Thr) was chosen as control and is not immunodominant for the HLA-A02:01 phenotype, with a high estimated concentration of half-maximum inhibition (IC50).80 persons were questionnaired and 78 volunteers were examined. Cellular immunity parameters were analyzed using a Cytomics FC 500 flow cytometer and gamma interferon (IFN-γ) was determined by ELISA. The results were processed using Statistica 10 software. As a result, a new method was tested to evaluate the activation of blood leukocytes by synthetic peptides. Regardless of the HLA-A phenotype of the study subjects, the peptides were able to bind to leukocytes, indicating a universal response to foreign peptides, especially to innate immune cells. Peptide No. 2 with high calculated IC50, compared to peptide No. 1 with low calculated IC50, showed significantly higher binding to lymphocytes and monocytes and activation of basophils. The peptides used in this work showed that they interact with leukocytes, activating them through the secretion of IFN-γ. Thus, our work demonstrates an approach to creating a peptide vaccine in the in vitro research phase, as well as to studying the antiviral response by the IFN-γ growth in response to the peptides.
