Understanding cancer etiology
Authors: Aku Amulya Murthy , Patil Ashok 
Published: June 2023

Background of the Study:
As many as 10 million people have died from cancer globally in 2020, making it the top cause of mortality in the globe. Cancer develops as a result of the multi-stage process by which normal cells convert into tumor cells, progressing from a precancerous lesion to a malignant tumor. By avoiding risk factors and applying existing evidence-based preventative techniques, 30%–50% of malignancies may be averted. In order to avoid cancer, it is essential to know the specific causes of the disease. Nidanas, or etiologies, are well-described in Ayurvedic science. Here, the causes of cancer have been outlined so that the knowledge may be used effectively to avoid the disease.

Aims:
Identification of cancer etiologies that have been described in classics. Evidence-based understanding of these etiologies and to comprehend the significance of etiologies in cancer prevention.

Materials and methods:
A thorough evaluation of literature, including ancient Ayurvedic classics, modern medical texts, and articles published in reputable journals, was conducted to meet the study's goals and objectives.

Results:
According to Ayurveda, there are three distinct phases of tumorigenesis: chronic inflammation, precancerous development, Granthi (a benign glandular swelli ng), and Arbuda (a precancerous tumor) (definite malignancy). A growing body of evidence suggests that the tumor microenvironment, which is predominantly controlled by inflammatory cells, is an essential player in the neoplastic process.

Conclusion:
Although inflammation is coming into the picture just now in the contemporary world, Ayurveda has described this as a leading cause 5000 years back. It is evident that diet and lifestyle play a crucial role in the etiology of Shoth (inflammation).

Published: June 2023

Background:
Various root canal filling materials are used to preserve pulp tissue involved carious the primary tooth. A single material that fulfills all the requirements of an ideal root canal filling material for primary teeth is yet unavailable. Hence, this study was initiated to evaluate clinically and radiographically, the efficacy of two obturating materials – zinc oxide eugenol (ZOE) and zinc oxide mixed with Neem oil (ZON) for 12 months.

Aims:
To assess the success rate of a mixture of zinc oxide and neem oil in comparison to zinc oxide-eugenol paste, as an obturating material in primary molars. To compare the efficacy of ZON as an obturating material at the various time interval of 3, 6, 9, and 12 months postoperatively.

Materials and methods:
This split-mouth, double-blind study was performed on 24 children aged 5–7 years, who presented with bilaterally infected primary molars. Total 48 infected primary molars were divided into two groups for pulpectomy followed by obturation with ZOE and ZON, respectively. Randomization with the chit-pick method, for the control and experimental drug, was performed. A follow-up for 12 months was performed. The Chi-square test was used for inter-group comparison and the Z test was used for the analysis of data over a period of time.

Results:
Overall clinical findings in this study revealed 91.7% results in ZOE compared with 100% results in the ZON group. The radiographical findings revealed 91.7% results in ZOE compared with 100% success in the ZON group.

Conclusion:
ZON demonstrated excellent effectiveness as an obturating material in the 12-month follow-up period as compared to ZOE in primary teeth. The efficacy elicited in this study could be a basis to recommend ZON as herbal alternative obturation material.

ABSTRACT

Background:
Previous studies have found religion as a useful tool in coping with chronic medical conditions including HIV/AIDS.

Aim:
This study assessed how religiosity and religious coping are associated with quality of life (QOL) among people living with HIV/AIDS (PLWHA).

Patients and Methods:
This was a cross-sectional study of 140 HIV clinic attendees of a Nigerian tertiary health facility. Religiosity, religious coping and QOL were measured with religious orientation scale-revised (ROS-R), Brief Religious Coping (Brief RCOPE) and World Health Organization Quality of Life-Bref (WHOQOL-BREF), respectively. Correlation analysis assessed the relationship between ROS-R, Brief RCOPE and WHOQOL-BREF.

Results:
Intrinsic religiosity (IR) scores had a moderate positive correlation with psychological health domain of QOL (r = 0.4, N = 140, and P 0.001), and a weak positive correlation with physical health domain of QOL (r = 0.2, N = 140, and P 0.05). Extrinsic religiosity (ER) scores moderately correlated positively with the psychological health domain of QOL (r = 0.03, N = 140, and P 0.002), but weakly correlated positively with the physical health domain (r = 0.2, N = 140, and P 0.02). Positive religious coping (PRC) scores moderately correlated positively with the psychological health domain (r = 0.03, N = 140, and P 0.05) and weakly correlated positively with physical health domain of QOL (r = 0.2, N = 140, and P 0.02). Extrinsic religiosity social (ERS) scores had a moderate positive correlation with the social relationships domain (r = 0.4, N = 140, P 0.001).

Conclusion:
Increased ER, IR orientations and Positive Religious Coping appear to improve the psychological and physical health domains ofQOL QOL Therefore, religiosity should be encouraged among PLWHA to improve QOL.

Published: June 2023

The Village Fund Program is a central government program to improve the welfare of rural communities. Each village received a relatively large amount of village funds. However, after their Covid-19, the village funds were diverted to handling the Covid-19 problem. Village funds distributed by the government in general aim to improve the welfare of rural communities due to the unequal welfare conditions between people in rural areas and urban areas. Thus, the village fund program is also expected to eradicate the poor in rural areas. Besides, it is following sustainable development goals (Sustainable Development Goals). /SDGs). The objectives of this research are 1) To analyze the significance of differences in the use of village funds before and after the outbreak of the Covid-19 pandemic in Klungkung Regency; 2) to analyze the effect of using village funds in 2020 after the Covid-19 pandemic on the welfare level of villagers in Klungkung Regency.
This research was conducted in Klungkung Regency, especially Klungkung mainland, with the classification of respondents of 3 village officials, 3 village community members, and 1 village community leader. Hence, the respondents in each village are 7 people. The number of villages on Klungkung mainland is 37 villages. Thus, the total number of respondents was 259 people throughout Klungkung Regency. The number of respondents was determined by quota sampling. The sampling technique used was accidental sampling combined with snowball sampling, which was included in the non-probability sampling. For respondents, the village apparatus used probability sampling in each village. In addition, purposive sampling was used for the required informants. Data collection methods were observation, interviews, and in-depth interviews, using descriptive statistical data analysis techniques, regression analysis, and average difference test.
The results of the analysis showed that: 1) There was a significant difference in the use of village funds in 2019 and 2020 during the pandemic. In 2020, the use of village funds prioritized handling the Covid-19 pandemic. While the use of village funds in 2019 was used for village administration, village development, community development, and community empowerment; 2) There was a significant positive effect on the use of village funds in 2020 during the Covid-19 pandemic on the welfare level of the population in Klungkung Regency.
Favouritism in Higher Education Institutions: Exploring the Drivers, Consequences and Policy Implications
Authors: Joseph Seniwoliba , Alhassan Ibrahim 
Published: June 2023

Purpose: Favouritism is one of the most harmful informal practices in Higher Education Institutions (HEIs) that affect the success and growth of the institutions, especially in recent decades. However, as destructive as favouritism is, most institutional managers seem to perpetuate its practice either because its negative effects are not well appreciated by the leaders or because the leaders have never been unfavourable of the favouritism act. This study explores favouritism and all its mutations, its causes and effects, and how to curb it in the HEI context.
Methodology: The study was qualitatively driven. Valid data were solicited from 60 staff of the University for Development Studies (UDS), Tamale, Ghana, through an interview session and analysed. Based on the results and insights from secondary data, the study discusses three main types of favouritism in HEIs: nepotism, cronyism, and patronage. We found that favouritism of any form is cancer that can affect employees psychologically, emotionally, and even mentally.
Findings: As a result, we conclude that the principle of fairness in the selection of employees is directly related to the level of public trust in the institution’s ability to serve its stakeholders and has deeper organisational implications that determine the ethos in the HE domain and that failure, on the part of institutional managers, to employ a trusted merit-based recruitment and selection procedures in the recruitment of employees is one of the factors that can significantly contribute to the spread of unrest in the HEI space.
Recommendations: Given this, we recommend, among others, that managers and administrators of HEIs avoid playing favourites by instituting an anti-favouritism policy that seeks to check murky recruitment and selection procedures and promote trust in employees in the promotion and reward systems in HEIs.

Methodology: The study used a positivist approach research philosophy. The research designs employed in this study were explanatory and descriptive research designs. The study population comprised of the tourism industry. The study included the ministry of tourism itself since it is the parent ministry that regulates and oversees the operations of the tourism agencies to give a total of 10 areas of study. A sample of 327 was achieved based on the following formula. This study used primary data. The study used questionnaires and interview guides to collect both qualitative and quantitative data. Quantitative data was analyzed through scientific methods while qualitative data was analyzed thematically. The descriptive statistics was first used to analyze the demographic factors of the respondents using frequencies and charts. Inferential statistics such as correlation and multiple linear regression analysis were used to test the relationship among the variables as per the study hypothesis.
Findings: The structure of an organization was found to have significant effect on the realization of objectives and profits in an organization. The organizational functions and targets, the structure of employee learning and growth and systems of communications have an influence on how organizations achieve their objectives and their profits. Culture also has been found to play its critical role in implementation of strategies and consequently realizations of set objectives and profits in organizations. Organizational norms, ethics, employee training and organizational climate are very key in achieving success while implementing strategies.
Unique Contribution to Theory, Practice and Policy: To effectively implement strategies in the tourism industry, the organizational structures need to have lines of communication, simple layer of reporting, flexible structure and good systems which ensure quick decision making in organizations.

Published: June 2023

O objetivo do trabalho foi analisar as mudanças históricas da linha de costa e, verificar a eficiência de faixas de recuo em praias arenosas, estuarina e oceânicas, localizadas no sul de Sergipe, nordeste do Brasil. A metodologia consistiu na determinação da taxa de variação e do comportamento da linha de costa (1971 a 2017), e na análise de eficiência do uso de faixas de recuo para construções leve e pesada, caso tivessem sido implementadas em 1971. As praias estuarina e oceânicas em erosão apresentaram taxas médias de -5,6 e -1,6 m/ano, respectivamente. O comportamento erosivo da linha de costa ocorreu em 82,4 % da praia estuarina e em 38,6 % das praias oceânicas. A análise da eficiência das faixas de recuo para construção pesada mostrou que se tivessem sido implementadas em 1971, muitos dos danos às estruturas antrópicas teriam sido evitados. No entanto, a metodologia adotada foi inadequada, por não considerar o tempo de análise (curto, médio ou longo prazo). O uso da taxa erosiva verificada em cada localidade multiplicada pelo tempo desejado parece ser a alternativa mais viável na ausência de outros dados. Este estudo demostra que um método simples pode ser usado com sucesso.
