Published: January 2025

Chili is a horticultural commodity that has made significant contributions and has significant economic value in Indonesia. The prospect of increasing cayenne pepper production in Indonesia using simple linear regression analysis with chili production data from 1990-2022 has increased quite significantly. The attributes and results are added together to obtain the supply chain performance value based on performance attributes. These values are classified into standard performance values. The supply chain performance value based on attributes is 93.26 out of 100%. This value is obtained by adding up the values of each performance attribute. This value indicates that the performance of the Cayenne pepper supply chain in Indonesia is in the Good criteria (Above Average) based on the classification of standard work values. The SPSS output has an adjusted determination coefficient (Adjusted R Square) of 0.393. This means that 39.3% of the dependent variable (production (Y) is influenced by exports (X1) and imports (X2), while the remaining 60.7% (100% - 39.3) is influenced by other variables outside the variables used.

Authors: Pardede Erika , Julianti Elisa , Siahaan Ferlist Rio , Harefa Claudia Virani 
Published: January 2025

This study evaluated the antioxidant activity, ascorbic acid, and beta-carotene levels in two underutilized species of Sumatran Baccaurea Lour. The fruit of red tampoi or Baccaurea costulata (Miq.) Műll. Arg is orange, while rambai or Baccaurea motleyana (Műll. Arg) Műll. Arg has a pale-yellow color with an “a” value of 29.22±0.51 and 2.67±0.58, respectively, measured with a hand chromameter. The half-maximum inhibitory concentration (IC50) of the free radical scavenging activities of both fruits was determined using the 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) free radical scavenging method. The IC50 of B. costulata (51.63±3.42 µg/g) indicated that its fruit juice has a strong antioxidant property, while B. motleyana (76.95±1.28 µg/g) has a moderately antioxidant characteristic. A high antioxidant activity of B. costulata was followed by a high amount of ascorbic acid (55.86±1.73 mg/100g) and beta carotene (150.77±2.16 μg/g), in comparison to those of B. motleyana, which has a lower amount of ascorbic acid (37.30±2.34 mg/100g) and beta carotene (25.36±1.37 μg/g). It was also found that there was a moderate correlation between scavenging capacities (expressed as the reciprocal of the calculated IC50 value), a strong positive correlation with beta-carotene (r2 = 0.90), and a moderately positive correlation with ascorbic acid (r2 = 0.77). It can be concluded that both Baccaurea fruits are nutritious foods due to their high ascorbic acid and beta-carotene content, and they also possess high antioxidant properties. Both ascorbic acid and beta-carotene contributed significantly to the antioxidant activity.
Les monuments aux morts de la Grande Guerre en Afrique francophone
Authors: Toulier Bernard 
Published: January 2025

Les monuments aux morts de la Grande Guerre édifiés par l’Empire français dans les années 1920-1930 et situés au cœur des villes nouvelles coloniales du continent africain sont au cœur de débats mémoriels parfois virulents. A partir de quelques exemples documentés, on s’interrogera sur le devenir de ce type de monuments au sein des nouvelles nations africaines. Pour les ex-colonisés, quelle est la signification d‘un « patrimoine » étroitement lié à l’histoire de la France impériale ? Dans les premières décennies qui suivent la décolonisation, beaucoup sont endommagés ou détruits - au mieux dissimulés. Une seconde installation en France métropolitaine offre parfois une seconde vie au monument et s’accompagne d’une réécriture de l’histoire.
L’anticommunisme, l’autre moteur de Jean-Marie Le Pen
Authors: Thomas Adrian 
Published: January 2025

Les rétrospectives sur Jean-Marie Le Pen mettent en avant ses déclarations les plus infâmes, racistes ou antisémites, mais écartent presque systématiquement une dimension pourtant centrale de son engagement : l’anticommunisme. Il s’agit pourtant d’un point déterminant, central au sein de la famille politique de l’extrême droite, indissociable de la lutte globale pour la préservation d’une civilisation occidentale blanche. L’antimarxisme a même souvent été le dénominateur commun des groupes réactionnaires et Le Pen sa meilleure incarnation. Tout le long de son parcours, au Vietnam ou au Palais Bourbon, Le Pen a été convaincu de lutter pied à pied contre le bolchévisme et ses avatars, que ce soient les syndicalistes étudiants, les indépendantistes algériens ou les militants de l’union de la gauche dans toute sa pluralité. Il n’a jamais perdu de vue l’objectif principal d’abattre le PCF et l’URSS, suprêmes ennemis. Sans prétendre à l’exhaustivité, retour sur 75 ans de haine du « rouge ».
Invisibility, stigma and workplace support: Experiences of individuals with chronic disorders
Authors: Bam Armand 
Published: January 2025

Orientation: Individuals with chronic disorders such as systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) face challenges in disclosing their condition at work due to symptom invisibility and stigma. Managers play a crucial role in managing employees as stakeholders and shaping workplace culture and inclusivity.Research purpose: This study explores how workplace culture and support systems influence disclosure decisions among individuals with SLE, focusing on the role of managers in shaping these experiences.Motivation for the study: Limited research exists on the disclosure of invisible illnesses like SLE in professional settings. This study seeks to understand how stigma and inadequate support lead employees to conceal their condition.Research approach/design and method: Using document analysis and semi-structured interviews with participants from various industries in South Africa, the research explores the interplay between workplace culture, support systems and disclosure decisions.Main findings: Findings show that the invisibility and stigma of SLE, challenges in recognising it as a disability, and insufficient workplace support contribute to concealment. Managers often perpetuate unsafe spaces for disclosure.Practical/managerial implications: Organisations must address the systemic exclusion and stigma faced by employees with chronic illnesses. Enhancing training and support for managers is critical to fostering inclusive workplaces and safe disclosure environments.Contribution/value-add: By exploring the strategies individuals with SLE use to navigate workplace challenges, the study provides insights into the relationship between chronic illness, stigma and workplace inclusivity, enriching the broader discourse on disability in professional contexts.

Mean ± standard deviation (SD) of effects of polypharmacy on salivary flow rate and oral health-related quality of life according to age and gender were described, and multiple group comparisons were conducted using the ANOVA and t-test.

Results:
The difference between salivary flow rate and age (P = 0.564), gender (P = 0.702), duration of medication (P = 0.06), and number of drugs (P = 0.476) were statistically insignificant.

Conclusion:
A significance was noted according to gender based on the OHIP-14 questionnaire. There was a strong significance according to gender for the questions in the subdomain “physical disability.”
Therapeutic Effectiveness of Plant Medicine in Treating Xerostomia-A Systematic Review
Authors: Amani Turaga , Dharman Sreedevi 
Published: January 2025

Background:
Xerostomia is ‘subjective feeling of dryness in mouth.’ It can result from either a decrease in salivary production or alterations in its composition. Plant formulations can be used as an alternative to the conventional substitutes as they are less expensive with lower side effects. This systematic review aims at assessing therapeutic effectiveness of plant medicine in treatment of patients with xerostomia.

Materials and Methodology:
Review protocol was registered in the PROSPERO database (CRD42023469059). Three databases were searched with restriction of English language, time limit searched until March 2024, included a total of ten randomized controlled trials in this review. Cochrane’s risk of bias assesses quality of articles using Revman 5.3.

Results:
Upon reviewing titles and abstracts, full texts of 57 articles were evaluated. A total of ten RCTs with overall 644 patients were included qualitatively. From evidence, all ten studies exhibited significant reduction in dryness, increased salivary flow rate, decreased burning sensation, and quality of life improvement.

Conclusion:
Plant Formulations of all the 10 studies were effective in alleviating the symptoms of dry mouth and reduction in burning sensation when compared to commercial conventional drugs. While current treatments often come with high costs and side effects, recent herbal formulations show promise in alleviating symptoms and improving patient quality of life. This systematic review emphasizes plant-based medicine formulations as promising therapeutic options to effectively reduce symptoms of xerostomia with minimal side effects.

Authors: Patil Karthikeya , Sanjay C J , Guledgud Mahima V. , Solayappan Eswari , Suresh Namrata , Niranjan Sharath 
Published: January 2025

Abstract

Background:
Foramen Huschke (FH) occurs due to incomplete fusion, leading to the formation of an osseous developmental defect. Its development remains incomplete at birth. This foramen, which is located in the tympanic bone and assists in creating the tympanic cavity and External Auditory Canal (EAC), is the result of a process called membranous ossification. The presence of FH causes disturbances in the region of the temporomandibular joint (TMJ) and EAC.

Aim:
The goal of this study was to assess the occurrence and characteristics of foramen Huschke using cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) based on age, gender, site, and side, as well as identify the presenting symptoms.

Methodology:
This retrospective analysis consists of 139 CBCT images of the TMJ region involving foramen Huschke were evaluated. The SPSS 22.0 program was used to tabulate and evaluate the collected data. Descriptive statistics and a Chi-square test were performed to compare gender and site according to the occurrence of foramen Huschke.

Result:
It was seen that out of 73 men, 15.06% had unilateral occurrence and 2.73% had bilateral occurrence, whereas among 66 females, 13.6% had unilateral occurrence and 3.03% had bilateral occurrence. Of the 139 subjects, 9 (6.47%) had unilateral occurrence on the right side, 11 (7.91%) subjects had unilateral occurrence on the left side, and 4 (2.87%) subjects had bilateral occurrence. A total occurrence of FH was observed in 24 (17.26%) subjects. The P value was statistically insignificant in the association between gender and site.

Conclusion:
A thorough understanding of this anatomical defect is imperative to avoid misdiagnosis and for the effective treatment of patients with TMJ and EAC disorders. Because of its thin sections, excellent spatial resolution, and multiplanar capabilities, CBCT is sensitive for detecting the foramen Huschke.
Case Report of A Gingival Presentation Unveiling A Potentially Fatal Disease: A Dual Rarity
Authors: Medha Babshet , Jiya John , Geetha Kamath , Srikanth Srivathsa H 
Published: January 2025

Abstract
Granulomatosis with polyangiitis (GPA) is a rare disease affecting the small- to medium-sized vessels of various organs. The respiratory tract, lungs, and kidneys are usually affected. The gingival involvement in GPA is rare and features a classical presentation called strawberry gingivitis. GPA is associated with subepithelial neutrophilic microabscesses, leukocytoclastosis, vasculitis, geographic fibrinoid necrosis, and palisading macrophages. The elevated levels of cytoplasmic-antineutrophilic cytoplasmic antibody (c-ANCA) differentiate it from other vasculitis. A rare case of GPA who presented with strawberry gingivitis with further systemic involvement and elevated c-ANCA, confirming our diagnosis has been discussed with an emphasis on the clinical presentation, histopathological features, and management protocols followed.

Authors: Otaka Yusei , Harata Yasuo , Izawa Maki , Shiba Noriyoshi , Takahashi Nobutoshi , Kito Shinji 
Published: January 2025

Background:
Use of a rectangular collimator and a detector holder reduces the patient’s dose in intraoral radiography; however, their quantitative effects on reducing the operator’s dose are unknown.

Objectives:
This study aimed to evaluate the reduction in the operator’s dose when using a rectangular collimator and a detector holder during handheld exposure with a portable intraoral X-ray device.

Materials and Methods:
Dose was measured using a cylindrical polymethylmethacrylate phantom and two semiconductor dosimeters. Stray radiation from the phantom and the X-ray device was measured at 15-degree intervals in horizontal and vertical circles with radii of 50 cm and 100 cm from the center of the phantom. Doses were compared with and without the additional rectangular collimator and the detector holder.

Results:
Use of the additional rectangular collimator and the detector holder reduced the operator’s dose to one-eighth and one-fifth, respectively, of the dose when these items were not used.

Conclusion:
Using an additional rectangular collimator and a detector holder appears effective for reducing the dose to the radiographic operator during handheld exposure with a portable intraoral X-ray device and could be applied to situations such as dental home health care and person identification in forensic dentistry.

Published: January 2025

Abstract
This study examined the association between lingual plate thickness and complications in third lower molar extraction. Cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) was used to measure the lingual plate thickness and examine its correlation with impact classification in winter.

Material/Methods:
A total of 183 cone beam images of the third impacted molar in the mandible were retrospectively analyzed. The impaction type of the tooth and the thickness of the lingual plate at the apex and midroot were evaluated using SIDEXIS software. Categorical variables were statistically analyzed using the Chi-square test.

Results:
The lingual plate thickness averaged 1.24 mm at the midroot and 1.14 mm at the apex. The study revealed a significant correlation between horizontally impacted third molars and thinner lingual plates at the midroot level (P value = 0.002).

Conclusion:
In third lower molars, the study showed a high correlation between the kind of impaction and the thickness of the lingual plate. Surgeons should exercise caution during extraction due to the potential risk of lingual plate fractures and emphasize the importance of preoperative CBCT planning in affected third-molar cases.
