IntroductionAlthough stem cell research and therapeutic applications hold great promise for medical advancements, and have rapidly progressed globally, there remains a lack of genuine public awareness of the status of this subject in Saudi Arabia. Successful integration of stem cell therapy into healthcare relies on public awareness, understanding, and trust. Therefore, we aimed in this cross-sectional study to assess the public’s knowledge, awareness, trust, support, participation, and confidence in stem cell treatments and centers involved in it.Materials and methodsA voluntary questionnaire of 20 questions was distributed randomly via social media outlets.ResultsThree thousand five hundred eighty four individuals participated in the survey, with approximately half of them falling within the age range of 35–50 years (46.71%). Majority of the participants, 90.71%, would like to know more about stem cell therapy and more than half of the participants (56.94%) were unfamiliar with the idea, and a comparable proportion (50.41%) expressed concerns about the safety of stem cell therapy. A lower level of awareness, indicated by a score of 5, was evenly distributed across all age groups and genders. However, regardless of gender, older participants—especially those 50 years of age or older—tended to report higher levels of confidence, trust, and support than participants in other age groups. Moreover, trust, support, participation, and confidence score for those attained high school or less was statistically significantly lower than those attained master’s or PhD degree. Of the participants, 33.57% had either received stem cell therapy themselves or known someone who had; about 24.07% of them reported that it was a cosmetic type of treatment.ConclusionThe study emphasizes the persistent need for awareness and educational initiatives to minimize the lack of public awareness and understanding of approved stem cell treatments in Saudi Arabia. It advocates for increased education, transparency, and communication to bridge knowledge gaps and enhance public trust to ensure the understanding of successful treatment.
Dryland Soil Carbon and Nitrogen Stocks in Response to Cropping Systems and Nitrogen Fertilization
Authors: Sainju Upendra M. 
Published: April 2024

Innovative management practices are needed to mitigate greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from the agricultural sector by enhancing soil carbon (C) and nitrogen (N) stocks, which serve as major reservoirs of C and N in the terrestrial ecosystem. The effect of cropping systems and N fertilization rates were examined on soil organic C (SOC) and soil total N (STN) stocks at the 0–120 cm depth from 2011 to 2018 in a dryland farm in the US northern Great Plains. Cropping systems were no-till continuous spring wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) (NTCW), no-till spring wheat–pea (Pisum sativum L.) (NTWP), no-till spring wheat–fallow (NTWF), and conventional till spring wheat–fallow (CTWF) and N fertilization rates were 0, 50, 100, and 150 kg N ha−1 applied to spring wheat. The SOC and STN were greater for NTWP than other cropping systems at most N fertilization rates and depth layers. Increasing N fertilization rate increased SOC at 0–30 cm for NTWP and NTCW, but had a variable effect on STN for various cropping systems and soil depths. The NTWP with 50–100 kg N ha−1 can enhance SOC and STN at 0–30 cm compared to other cropping systems and N fertilization rates in the US northern Great Plains.

Introduction: Leishmaniasis is an anthropozoonosis caused by a protozoan of the genus Leishmania and transmitted by vectors of the species Lutzomyia longipalpis. The disease can present in two forms: the cutaneous form (Cutaneous Leishmaniasis) and the visceral form (Visceral Leishmaniasis). Its main hosts are domestic canids, but it can parasitize other diverse species such as rodents, possums, foxes, non-human primates, edentulous primates, domestic cats, and even equids, although this is infrequent. Study objective: Due to the scarcity of reports on Leishmaniasis in horses. Added to this, taking into account the susceptibility of horses to infection by many species of Leishmania and the fact that the vast majority of cases are asymptomatic, the objective of this study was to report a case of equine leishmaniasis in the state of Pernambuco. Results and discussion: A male horse, of the Manga Larga Machador breed, four years old, residing in the municipality of Bezerros- PE, Northeast of Brazil, was treated. On physical examination, the presence of ulcerated and non-ulcerated nodular lesions was observed on the face close to the masseter muscle, in the ventrodorsal region, and below the humeroradiounar joint. Presence of papules in the neck region. In the blood count, normocytic normochromic anemia, and leukocytosis due to neutrophilia and eosinophilia were observed. In the parasitological diagnosis through immunohistochemistry, the presence of Leishmania sp. amastigotes was observed. As a therapeutic protocol, injectable marbofloxacin was used for this patient at a dosage of 2mg/kg once a day, intramuscularly for 28 days. Conclusion: Horses infected by L. infantum may present dermatological lesions. Therefore, early diagnosis and treatment are recommended, as it is suggested that the use of marbofloxacin provides good results in the regression of skin lesions in these cases. However, more studies are needed to investigate the epidemiology and pathophysiology of this disease in horses.

Authors: Roosdhantia Isnia Rahmi , Riski Prihatningtias  
Published: April 2024

Introduction: The occurrence of Traumatic Optic Neuropathy (TON) often occurs in the form of head injuries resulting from traffic accidents. TON is an important cause of impaired visual function which may be improved with steroid therapy.
Objective: To determine the visual outcome in patients with TON treated with steroids in Kariadi Hospital, Semarang
Methods: This research was a retrospective study. Thirty patients (20 males and 10 females) with TON in ophthalmology clinic, Kariadi Hospital Semarang between Januari 2019 and December 2020. Visual acuity, contrast sensitivity and color blindness test were included data from medical record. Steroid therapy were divided into 3 groups. Intraveous steroid injection alone, intravenous steroid followed with oral steroid, and oral steroid alone. The Wilcoxon and paired-t test as comparison test of pre-post therapy in one group and friedman test as comparison test in 3 groups.
Results: There were 5 cases that received intravenous steroid, 18 cases received intravenous steroid with oral steroid, and 7 cases received oral steroid. There were difference visual acuity in intravenous steroid with oral steroid (p = 0.001), visual acuity in oral steroid (p = 0.017), and color blindness test in intravenous steroid with oral steroid in pre-post therapy groups (p = 0.036). There were no difference in visual acuity, color blindness test, and contrast sensitivity between pre-post therapy groups when compared between 3 groups (p= 0.692, p =0.368, p=0.273).
Conclusion: Patients with TON had better visual outcome after treated with intravenous steroid followed with oral steroid.

Authors: Chmielewski Mariusz , Śledzik Karol , Płoska Renata , Pioch Joanna 
Published: April 2024

RESEARCH OBJECTIVE: The aim of this paper is to answer the research question: Which issues play crucial roles in universities’ responsible research and the innovation transfer process? The tool used to achieve the aim of the study was analysis of the specific role of the concept of responsible research and innovation transfer from universities to the economy.
THE RESEARCH PROBLEMS AND METHODS: The research results can generate innovations that can be transferred to the economy. Considering all stakeholders of innovations transferred from universities to the economy, the criteria of evaluating innovations in terms of responsibility should be studied. The research method is based on literature analysis.
THE PROCESS OF ARGUMENTATION: The article begins with a literature review in the area of research and responsible innovation. Then, an attempt is made to synthetically analyze the dimensions of responsible innovation in order to formulate a basis for further inference. In the next part of the study, we used six dimensions of responsibility to explore the process of innovation transfer from universities to the economy.
RESEARCH RESULTS: The article shows that on the basis of the assumptions of the concept of responsible research and technology transfer, it is possible to create a framework that is the basis for evaluating the activity of a university in relation to the economic environment. Moreover, the Quadruple Helix framework of innovation is the most relevant tool to analyze actors and their interactions in an innovation ecosystem.
CONCLUSIONS, INNOVATIONS, AND RECOMMENDATIONS: Responsible innovation dimensions such as inclusion, anticipation, responsiveness, reflexivity, sustainability, care could be considered as a basis for evaluating universities’ technology transfer process.
The importance of the role of time in the adaptation process of traditional emigrants
Authors: Strzelec Gabriela 
Published: April 2024

RESEARCH OBJECTIVE: The article’s primary goal is to identify the factors that contribute to traditional emigrants’ adaptation to foreign postings in international corporations in Poland, with particular emphasis on the role of time. At the same time, the essential intention of this research pilot is to verify the research tool.
THE RESEARCH PROBLEM AND METHODS: The article presents the current scientific achievements in expatriate adaptation, particularly emphasizing the longitudinal dimension. The pilot study results presented in the empirical part were carried out using the case study method, and the research tool was an interview questionnaire.
THE PROCESS OF ARGUMENTATION: To better understand the motives, factors, barriers, and starting points that dynamically occur over time and influence adaptation in different dimensions and areas, Haslberger, Brewster, Hippler 3D model.
RESEARCH RESULTS: The main goal of the qualitative pilot study was the initial exploration of the area of expatriate adaptation. The study results fill the research gap by a) using an innovative 3-D model, b) identifying the speci­fics of this model’s adjustment, importance, and challenges in the international context, and c) showing the crucial role of the longitudinal dimension in the adjustment process.
CONCLUSIONS, INNOVATIONS, AND RECOMMENDATIONS: Few Polish researchers dealing with the issue of emigrants’ adaptation have considered the role of time in this process. It should, therefore, be emphasized that this work is new in Polish literature and fills a research gap. Practitioners responsible for adapting expatriates (AEs), knowing the time needed for an AE to adapt to the delegation country’s culture, attitudes, and behaviors, can more effectively determine the goals the employee should achieve. Therefore, having a tool that indicates facilitating factors, motives, or barriers, they can more consciously prepare a training package before entering the market and adjust its intensity over time.
The modern “homo politicus” as a transnational cosmopolitan citizen??
Authors: Ziebertz Hans-Georg 
Published: April 2024

RESEARCH OBJECTIVE: This article takes up the concept of “homo politi cus” and seeks a contemporary understanding in the context of a globalized world.
THE RESEARCH PROBLEM AND METHODS: In the classical under standing, “homo politicus” was the member of a municipal or national civil society who is aware of his or her responsibility towards the community and contributes to it productively. Today, the population is confronted with the fact that the world has become a “global village”. In this context, “homo politicus” can’t be limited to a national identity because contemporary challenges do not recognize national borders. This means that globalization demands a corre sponding critical‑global perspective on political responsibility, how to achieve a just and peaceful future. The article is conceived theoretically‑analytically and hermeneutically.
THE PROCESS OF ARGUMENTATION: The article reflects on different conceptions of the term “homo politicus”, it addresses the temptation of a na tionalistic narrowing and analyses the concepts of state and nation for a design of “homo politicus”. In the literature, an alternative concept to “homo politicus” is found in the form of “citizenship”. Finally, the article discusses the ambivalent role of religions with regard to a trans‑national perspective, but also points out their spiritual potential.
RESEARCH RESULTS: The result of the reflections is to develop the idea of "homo politicus" towards a trans‑national cosmopolitan citizenship. Many religions have the spiritual potential to promote this development.
CONCLUSIONS, INNOVATIONS, AND RECOMMENDATIONS: Global or cosmopolitan citizenship is a key aspect of “homo politicus”. It means that everyone is a global citizen and can claim certain rights (the right to education, a decent standard of living), but also has duties towards the global community, by being aware of the impact of one’s actions on the present and future of humanity, striving for a sustainable way of life.
Italian society and politics to the test of the pandemic
Authors: D'Ambrosio Prof. dr Rocco 
Published: April 2024

RESEARCH OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study is to reflect how the pandemic experience has shaped Italian society, under some key aspects.
THE RESEARCH PROBLEM AND METHODS: The pandemic is changing much of our lives: relationships, politics, economics, religious attitudes, European and global scenarios. The essay tries to study the most important dynamics in this epochal change.
THE PROCESS OF ARGUMENTATION: The argumentation starts from anthropological and ethics aspects to end with social and political elements of pandemic time.
RESEARCH RESULTS: The essay try to present a multidisciplinary approach to understand the pandemia. The most important result is to “read” the pandemia as a multifaced phenomena.
CONCLUSIONS, INNOVATIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS: It’s important to encourage studies where the complexity of our world is interpreted by researchers fo different disciplines. In this particular historical moment, probably, we should do the same lecture about the many wars and conflicts around the world.
The Crisis of Democracy and the Legitimate Rule of Law: Kelsen, Populism, and the Politics of Recognition
Authors: Ingram David B. 
Published: April 2024

RESEARCH OBJECTIVE: This essay examines how deliberation and recognition contribute to our understanding of democracy as a form of government combining two sources of legitimacy, one based on a legal procedure and the other based on ideological faith commitment.
THE RESEARCH PROBLEM AND METHODS: Although joint deliberation about policy aims and recognition of person’s political identities are often assumed to be complementary (Habermas, 1996; Honneth, 2014; Taylor, 1994), I argue that this need not be the case. Political identities oriented by faith commitments pose a challenge to deliberation oriented by rational compromise. A one-sided emphasis on deliberation or recognition as exclusive sources of democratic legitimation threatens to debase the res publica to an arena of identity politics whose populist proclivities are antithetical to liberal democracy. Exacerbating this trend is the phenomenon of political polarization caused in large part by the economic stratification and socio-cultural fragmentation of a global, digital form of capitalism. My method for examining and resolving the problem relies on notable philosophers who have written about the legal and political implications of deliberation and the politics of recognition: Charles Taylor, Jürgen Habermas, and Hans Kelsen.
THE PROCESS OF ARGUMENTATION: The paper begins by summarizing the importance of recognition for political life and its ambivalent humanistic and nationalistic (and sub-nationalistic) senses (Part 1). I then turn to Kelsen’s critique of recognition as incompatible with the rule of law, followed by his qualified endorsement of recognition, understood as a necessary political ethos underwriting a liberal, deliberative form of democracy (Parts 2 and 3). Turning to our contemporary democratic crisis, I show how structural transformations within and between political parties and the public sphere have given rise to authoritarian forms of populism (Part 4). I conclude by noting how imperatives within digital capitalism produce ambivalent effects regarding the restoration...
