Abstract
Diabetes-aggravated myocardial ischemia–reperfusion (MI/R) injury remains an urgent medical issue, and the molecular mechanisms involved with diabetes and MI/R injury remain largely unknown. Previous studies have shown that inflammation and P2X7 signaling participate in the pathogenesis of the heart under individual conditions. It remains to be explored if P2X7 signaling is exacerbated or alleviated under double insults. We established a high-fat diet and streptozotocin-induced diabetic mouse model, and we compared the differences in immune cell infiltration and P2X7 expression between diabetic and nondiabetic mice after 24 h of reperfusion. The antagonist and agonist of P2X7 were administered before and after MI/R. Our study showed that the MI/R injury of diabetic mice was characterized by increased infarct area, impaired ventricular contractility, more apoptosis, aggravated immune cell infiltration, and overactive P2X7 signaling compared with nondiabetic mice. The major trigger of increased P2X7 was the MI/R-induced recruitment of monocytes and macrophages, and diabetes can be a synergistic factor in this process. Administration of P2X7 agonist eliminated the differences in MI/R injury between nondiabetic mice and diabetic mice. Both 2 wk of brilliant blue G injection before MI/R and acutely administered A438079 at the time of MI/R injury attenuated the role of diabetes in exacerbating MI/R injury, as evidenced by decreased infarct size, improved cardiac function, and inhibition of apoptosis. Additionally, brilliant blue G blockade decreased the heart rate after MI/R, which was accompanied by downregulation of tyrosine hydroxylase expression and nerve growth factor transcription. In conclusion, targeting P2X7 may be a promising strategy for reducing the risk of MI/R injury in diabetes.
Building a united community: Reading the Johannine concept of unity through the eyes of an Akan
Authors: Gharbin Godibert K. , Van Eck Ernest 
Published: May 2023

From the 1960s, African theologians sought to decolonise biblical scholarship, calling for a hermeneutical approach that pays attention to the African sociocultural context – inculturation. One of the undergirding principles of inculturation is that there are African sociocultural questions that the Bible can address through the appropriate interpretative methodology. Thus, this culminated in the application of inculturation on different levels. Similarly, an analysis of Akan aphorisms – the anthology of valuable data on Akan anthropology and communitarian egalitarianism – and the Johannine theology of unity reveals that there are sociocultural maladies that require inculturation. Consequently, the study employed Ukpong’s inculturation hermeneutics to read the Johannine unity ideation because it facilitates the cross-pollination of ideas – the Johannine unity ideation to critique the Akan culture and the conceptualisation of unity in Akan proverbial lore to enrich the understanding of the Johannine theology of unity. The findings indicated that Akan unity ideation receives its impetus from personal and communal benefits, making sustainability impossible without them. Additionally, it contravenes the tenets of Akan communalism and anthropology. Furthermore, it revealed that Christian unity is grounded on replicating the divine community; therefore, it can fill the lacunae in the Akan concept. Finally, it established that the culture enriches the text.Contribution: Given that this article is an interactive engagement between the Johannine and Akan concepts of unity, it contributes to the ongoing discussions on contextual theology – the inculturation of the New Testament in the African context. Furthermore, it contributes to the discussions on Akan communalism.

Social media has undoubtedly shifted the landscape of educator professional development in the 21st century. The establishment and development of identifiable professional learning communities (PLCs) like the #SSChat social studies community on Twitter enables educators to connect and collaborate with other professionals across the globe from their own mobile device. The purpose of this study was to determine the demographic features of the #SSChat members. Moreover, we sought to determine if there were any significant differences in #SSChat member’s perceived ‘Sense of Community’ (SOC) based on those demographics. No statistically significant findings were discovered. Still, the demographic data provide good discussions.

Published: May 2023

Introduction: The lower third molar extraction is a procedure that can lead to some complications. To perform tooth extraction, the dental surgeon requests imaging exams to assess some aspects, including the proximity of the tooth to the inferior alveolar nerve. Based on these findings, the surgery can be performed or other tests can be requested, such as a cone beam computed tomography. If the proximity between such structures is confirmed through tomography, the coronectomy presents as an alternative to conventional third molar extraction or other mandibular teeth that are in close contact with the inferior alveolar nerve and, consequently, with a higher risk of damaging this structure. Objective: The present study aims to report two clinical cases of coronectomy performed at the surgery clinic of the Federal University of Jequitinhonha and Mucuri Valleys (UFVJM). Methodology: Two clinical cases were reported in this study. Discussion: Although the results of this technique are positive, it is still not widely accepted due to the lack of long term studies and the possibility of having a second surgical procedure to remove residual roots. Conclusion: In both cases, no complications were reported by the patients, such as loss of sensitivity, pain, infection or dry socket.

Authors: Karuga Charles , Yatich Henry , Wairimu Kibe 
Published: May 2023

Purpose: The study sought to assess the influence of competitive priorities strategy on organizational performance of cement manufacturing firms in Kenya.
Methodology: The study adopted the positivism research philosophy and the concurrent triangulation research design. The target population consisted of eight cement production companies located in the counties of Kisumu, Nairobi, Mombasa, Machakos, Nakuru, and Kajiado were the subject of the study. The study purposely excluded Savannah Cement Limited from the main study since it had been “temporarily” shut down at the time of data collection due to financial and ownership wrangles. Census sampling method and proportional stratified random sampling were used to select 365 employees which included 37 managers, 322 non-managers and 6 CEOs. Both primary and secondary sources were used to gather data for this study, and both quantitative and qualitative data gathering techniques were employed. The qualitative data was analyzed using content analysis technique (Hsieh & Shannon, 2015), while the quantitative data was analyzed using MS Excel 2016 and IBM's SPSS version 28.
Findings: the study results indicated that competitive priorities strategies is an operational strategy that is often utilized by the cement manufacturing firms to improve their organizational performance. This was supported by the high level of agreement in all statement by most of the respondents. The study also concluded that competitive priorities strategies had a positive and significant relationship with organizational performance of cement manufacturing firms in Kenya. The regression results led to the rejection of the null hypothesis, thus adopting the alternative hypothesis; competitive priorities strategy has a significant influence on organizational performance of cement manufacturing firms in Kenya.
Unique Contribution to Theory, Practice and Policy: The theory used in this study advocated for the need of cement manufacturing firms in Kenya, to focus on identifying strategic resources that are critical for success and improved performance of the industry. Hence, the theory will also be applicable to other studies with such related research topics. The study recommended that the management of cement manufacturing firms in Kenya should invest more in automated systems especially in production and delivery so as to increase their production, operational and supply-chain efficiency. They should also invest in better training programs so as to equip their employees with the necessary skills needed to improve their work efficiency. Moreover, policymakers should also formulate better policies to enhance the competitiveness between manufacturing firms in Kenya.

Purpose: The study examined the influence of structural decisions strategy on organizational performance of cement manufacturing firms in Kenya.
Methodology: This research employed the positivism philosophy and concurrent triangulation research design. The research was conducted in the Kenyan cement industry. The eight cement production companies made up the target population of the research and are located in the counties of Kisumu, Nairobi, Mombasa, Machakos, Nakuru, and Kajiado were the subject of the study. Whereas, the units of observation of the research comprised of all employees in the 7 cement firms. The research, further, used the census method and the stratified random sampling technique to select a sample size of 365 employees included 37 managers, 322 non-managers and 6 CEOs distributed per company. The study data was then gathered using a questionnaire and interview schedule for main data collection and a secondary data collection sheet for secondary data collection.
Findings: The findings of the research revealed that structural decision strategy is one of the operational strategies that is employed by the cement manufacturing firms to influence their organizational performance. This was according to the high level of agreement by most of the respondents noted in the descriptive results. The study also found that structural decision strategies had a positive and significant relationship with organizational performance of cement manufacturing firms in Kenya. The regression results also led to the rejection of the null hypothesis, thus adopting the alternative hypothesis; structural decision strategy has a significant influence on organizational performance of cement manufacturing firms in Kenya.
Unique Contribution to Theory, Practice and Policy: The theories were relevant to this study as they emphasized on the need to identify both the dysfunctions and functional effects of particular structural arrangements on organizational performance of cement firms. Thus, the theories will also be applicable to other studies with such related research topics. The management of cement firms should effectively take part in the decentralization of management structures and specialization of departments in order to improve managerial efficiency and employee performance. Policymakers should establish operating policies and procedures that are supportive of the firms’ set objectives and goals.

MATRIZ ELÉTRICA BRASILEIRA E AS TENDÊNCIAS FUTURAS
Authors: Tavares Leila Aley 
Published: May 2023

A crescente preocupação com o meio ambiente e o cenário de mudanças climáticas tem levado à reflexão sobre as tendências futuras da matriz energética mundial. Assim, o setor elétrico brasileiro precisa adaptar-se às novas tendências globais de geração de energia, uma vez que as pressões internacionais para tornar a produção mais sustentável, eficiente e menos dependente das fontes não renováveis estão cada vez mais intensas. Atualmente, a principal fonte de geração de energia elétrica do país é a hidráulica, no entanto, ainda há um grande peso das fontes fósseis, como petróleo, carvão e gás natural. Dessa forma, o país tem apostado na diversificação da matriz elétrica, buscando especialmente fontes mais limpas, que não gerem gases de efeito Estufa. Nesse contexto, observa-se a necessidade de estudos cada vez mais aprofundados sobre a matriz elétrica brasileira, principalmente, na difusão das diversas opções de fontes geradoras. Dessa forma, o presente trabalho fornece uma visão geral das principais características da matriz elétrica brasileira e as tendências para o país. Como método de pesquisa, foi realizado um estudo bibliométrico, utilizando palavras-chave relacionadas ao tema, nas bases de dados científicos SciELO, Google Acadêmico e Web of Science. A análise dos dados mostraram que mesmo com diversas alternativas energéticas e um imenso potencial de recursos naturais renováveis, o Brasil ainda utiliza pouco dos seus recursos naturais. Espera-se, assim, contribuir com o setor elétrico brasileiro no que tange à difusão de informações e discussão sobre o tema frente à necessidade da expansão e diversificação da matriz elétrica nacional.

Published: May 2023

Background: Stress-related biomarkers have the potential to provide objective measures of whether interventions directed at people with dementia (PWD) and their family caregivers (FCG) are successful. The use of such biomarkers has been limited by logistical barriers to sample collection.
Objective: Explore saliva concentration of steroid hormones in dementia care dyads during a music intervention.
Methods: Consecutive PWD attending a memory evaluation center and their FCG were allocated to either an intervention-with-music or a non-intervention control group. All were living at home. Stress biomarkers, salivary cortisol and dehydroepiandrosterone sulfate (DHEA-S) samples were collected by the PWD and their FCG, in the morning and evening, 5 days a week, for 8 consecutive weeks. Biomarker concentrations of the intervention and the control groups were compared at week 8, in an intention-to-treat approach with adjustment for baseline value.
Results: Twenty-four PWD in the intervention group and 10 in the control group, and their FCG were included in the analyses. The mean number of morning saliva collections was similar in the intervention and the control groups, ranging from 4.3 to 4.9 per participant weekly during the first 7 weeks, declining to 3.3 during week 8. Median log morning cortisol (pg/mL) among caregivers was lower in the intervention group than in the control group (8.09 vs. 8.57, P = 0.0133).
Conclusion: This study demonstrates that music intervention was associated with lower morning saliva cortisol concentrations for FCGs.
