Authors: Pontes Matheus Dantas Madeira , Pontes Thayanne Lima Duarte 
Published: February 2022

Purpose – This paper aims to identify the current situation of the research that analyzes KTT strategies in scientific institutions.
Design/methodology/approach – To systematize the empirical evidence that emerged from academic debates in the field, the study breaks down, through a Systematic Literature Review (SLR), 42 papers from the Web of Science database. The author divides the sample into three clusters: environmental impact, institutional effectiveness, and individual strategies, according to its unit of analysis.
Findings – The findings indicate that the alignment of KTT activities with the strategic objectives of the institutions is fundamental for positive outcomes. In addition to that, the resources for obtaining relevant results are the quality and the availability of human capital in scientific institutions, public companies, and support organizations. Finally, there is a stream of research that criticizes the exclusively commercial approach of the phenomenon.
Research limitations – The Web of Science database relies on being the manly coverage for scientific publications in general. So, due to the choice for composing this sample with papers written only in English, untranslated studies were excluded from this analysis.
Originality/value – The contribution for Literature relies on proposing a future research agenda based on identified gaps and current topics, discussing the results of previous studies that can support the decision-making of these organizations at developing efficient KTT strategies for themselves.

Authors: K. Moses Maraka , W. Sammy Musundi , N. Nyaga Lewis 
Published: February 2022

In this paper, we investigate some transitivity action properties of the cartesian product of the alternating group \(A_{n}(n \geq 5)\) acting on a cartesian product of ordered sets of triples using the Orbit-Stabilizer Theorem by showing that the length of the orbit \((p, s, v) \text { in } A_{n} \times A_{n} \times A_{n},(n \geq 5)\) acting on \(P^{[3]} \times S^{[3]} \times V^{[3]}\) is equivalent to the cardinality of \(P^{[3]} \times S^{[3]} \times V^{[3]}\) to imply transitivity.

Published: February 2022

Aims: Present study aims to highlight an accidental death of a male Dwarf Sperm Whale scientifically known as Kogia sima which found to be as Least Concern (LC) as per IUCN Red List data. Kogia sima represents important higher trophics of marine ecosystem which faced the several threats and conservation need in Gulf of Mannar, India.
Study Design: The study undertaken during extensive coral reef monitoring survey was carried out in Gulf of Mannar under the CRAM Project of National Centre for Coastal Research (NCCR). The present report emphasize the Morphometric observation of the dead Kogia sima and try to find out possible cause of death by examining in situ investigation.
Place and Duration of Study: The field study was taken in Vedalai Sea shore (N09°15.626’, E79°04.977’) under the Mandapam Union of Ramnathapuram District of Tamil Nadu. The male whale specimen was found on 5th May, 2019 lying dead on the sandy seashore.
Methodology: Animal was photographed and morphological attributes were measured to identify the specimen. Several injuries have been highlighted in the paper which helps in investigating the cause of death.
Results: The Dwarf Sperm Whale was infant and has mild damage on the mouth parts including scuff off skin from the body and severe blood clotting at major part of the right side near to pectoral fin. Death of this infant is not clear but it is assumed that the male infant has lost from his parents and came to the inshore area of Mandapam where it gets stuck with running boat or boulder rocks as this immature whale limits its diving capabilities. The necessary morphological characters and measures have been listed in Table 1.
Conclusion: This unfortunate death clearly indicated that acute information on ecological behavior of Dwarf Sperm Whale is still under data collection stage in India and that previous conservation efforts in country must be reviewed in terms of role of local authorities, live stranded cetaceans and hunting or incidental killing which in future can build a road map for effective action plans to save this marine mammal.

There was a positive significant effect of management of curriculum (β4 = 0.094, P< 0.001) on implementation of TPAD policy.
Conclusion: The present study rejected the null hypothesis and concludes that the relationship is statistically significant. The sample data support the notion that the relationship between the independent variable and dependent variable exists in the population of public secondary schools in Transnzoia Kenya. Thus the hypothesis (Ho1) was rejected. This implies that effective management of curriculum influence implementation of TPAD policy.
A Systematic Review on Association between Dietary Acrylamide and Cancer Risk
Authors: Rohilla Suman , Arora Tripti 
Published: February 2022

Acrylamide is a yellowish, odorless solid that is water-soluble and is used in a variety of organic solvents and organic chemical compounds. It is used as a precursor or substitute for water-soluble thickeners in a variety of applications. It is very toxic and hence carcinogenic, and it is administered as a watery solution. Aside from exposure to the industry and cigarettes, food appears to be the most common source of human exposure. Cancer has remained the second-leading cause of death, with a global increase in the number of cases. Increasing the cancer burden necessitates the use of cancer preventive methods. Because of the present results of several future investigations, specialists have conducted a new meta-analysis on the usage of acrylamide-related illness incidence in various areas. Authors discovered 32 publications on their own. The researchers conducted a meta-analysis utilizing corrected or spontaneous modeling, based on the heterogeneous method, to assess the overall chance for each cancer site for highest versus lowest consumption levels, including an increase in nutritional acrylamide by 10 mg/day. Acrylamide has been classified by the International Agency for Research on Cancer as a human category 2A carcinogen, based on evidence of acrylamide carcinogenicity in animals.

Authors: Sheikh Tarannum B. , Panchabhai Aarati 
Published: February 2022

Oral cancer is the most common cancer that affects people all over the world. Oral squamous cell carcinoma affects about 40 to 50 percent in people of India. Tobacco, alcohol, and smoking are the causes of this condition. In addition, the association of human papilloma virus (HPV) with Oral cancer is being greatly discussed. The high-risk HPV 16 and 18 viruses are considered as the most prevalent causes of oral squamous cell cancer however the link is less well-established in terms of epidemiologic and molecular evidence. The role of vaccination for human papilloma virus in cancer prevention, etio-pathogenesis of transmission of infection and carcinogenesis as well as the limitations of HPV molecular analysis could be a matter of exploration. Oral Squamous Cell Carcinomas linked to Human Papillomavirus have been observed to be radiation sensitive, have better results, and have higher rate of survival.

Published: February 2022

Introduction: In recent decades, the increase in bacterial resistance against all major antibiotics is a growing worldwide problem and is a significant threat to global public health in the 21century.
Objective: Assess the knowledge, attitude, and practice of antibiotics use and misuse among the tertiary care rural hospital patients.
Methods: This is a cross-sectional analytical study conducted at tertiary care teaching rural hospital in India between December2020 to April 2021. A self-administered questionnaire was distributed to the patients of outpatient departments in hospital. The questionnaire consisted of 3 parts, first part consist of demographic variables, second and third part regarding knowledge, attitude and practice of patients towards use of antibiotics. SPSS 21 was used for data analysis.
Results: Out of the 110 participants, 56(50.91%) were males and 54(49.09%) were females. 55(50%) patients received antibiotics from friends, relative and pharmacist without medical doctor checkup. 38(34.55%) patients had started antibiotics as preventive medication for any infection, 73 (66.36%) patients got better earlier and have stopped. 52(47%) patient expect antibiotics from doctor for common cold. 42% patient obtained antibiotics without valid prescription from relatives, pharmacist or self-prescription without producing valid prescription obtained from the doctor. In the knowledge domain while majority of respondent were well aware that antibiotics are hazardous during pregnancy and lactation and can lead to severe allergic reactions. But very few respondent knew about resistance can transfer from animal to human and human to human, also very few respondent knew about antibiotics can alter human body bacterial flora.
Conclusion: There is lack of knowledge regarding antibiotics use and resistance among general population. Strict strategies need to employ like antibiotics prescription audit, antibiotics dispensing monitoring, effective public health education, and promoting health worker and patient communication.

Authors: Taori Prachi , Nikhade Pradnya 
Published: February 2022

Background: There is constant advancement in aesthetic material used in dentistry due to constant increase in demand of aesthetics.
Objectives:

“To evaluate fracture resistance and pattern of failure of ETT restored with PEEK post with no ferule.”
“To evaluate fracture resistance and pattern of failure of ETT restored with PEEK post with 1mm ferule length.”
“To evaluate fracture resistance and pattern of failure of ETT restored with PEEK post with 2mm ferule length.”
“To compare the above groups with each other.”

Methods: 30 human RC treated mandibular premolar teeth with single root will be decoronated at CEJ, 1mm and 2mm above CEJ & will be prepared to receive PEEK post which will be divided into 3 groups (n = 10) according to corresponding ferrule length.
After treatment of surface, post will be cemented using luting cement that is self-adhesive. Following thermocycling, they will be subjected to compressive static load at 45° angulation until there is fracture. Later analysis will be done with one-way ANOVA and Tukey’s HSD post hoc comparison test.
Results: Although root canal treated tooth with higher ferrule height shows higher fracture resistance in previous studies, but it would be something interesting if the use of PEEK post can improve fracture resistance of root canal treated tooth with ferrule height less than 2mm.
Conclusion: From the results of this study we will be able to conclude that if coronal dentinal structure is increased, resistance to fracture of ETT is increased remarkably.

Authors: Mohamed Radwa M. , El-Hadidi Eman S. , Ahmed Osama M. , El-Sayed Wael M. 
Published: February 2022

Objective: To evaluate the clinical utility of serum FGF23 as an early specific biomarker in the diagnosis and progression of chronic kidney disease (CKD) patients.
Methods: A number of 120 male patients with CKD who were classified according to the eGFR into four stages (n=30 for each stage), in addition to 30 healthy control men were included.
Results: Patients in stage 2 of CKD did not show any significant difference in serum levels of urea and creatinine, and lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) activity. With the progression of CKD from stage 3 to stage 5, there were linear increases in the serum urea and creatinine levels, and LDH activity. There was a significant decrease in serum albumin and a significant elevation in creatine kinase in all CKD stages. There was a significant decrease in serum Ca2+ level in stages 2-4. Only patients in CKD stage 5 showed a significant elevation in serum phosphorus level. There were significant elevations in serum aminotransferases, C-reactive protein, and parathyroid hormone levels in stages 4 and 5. Serum testosterone level was significantly reduced in stages 3 and 4 as compared to control. With the progression of CKD stages from stage 2 to 5, there were linear significant elevations in serum TNF-a and FGF23 levels.
Conclusions: FGF23 was the most sensitive indicator in the early diagnosis and staging of CKD. Other biomarkers were elevated in the late stages in addition to their low specificity. Therefore, FGF23 could be used in the diagnosis and prognosis of CKD patients.

Background and Objective: SARS Cov 2 virus are spreading havoc throughout the world and is responsible for the present pandemic. The clinical presentation of this pandemic has been varied from simple flu like symptoms to severe pneumonia. It is also found to affect multiple organ systems in our body.This study was conducted to find out the variations in the biochemical parameters among SARS Covid patients admitted in our hospital.
Materials and Methods: This study was a retrospective cross sectional survey of medical records of 258 SARS Cov 2 patients admitted in Chettinad hospital and research institute from July 2020 to September 2020. Among them 183 were males,75 were females. The details of their liver profile, renal profile, cardiac profile, ferritin levels and LDH levels were retrieved and studied
Results: In this study we found a significant difference in the levels of ferritin, LDH, serum albumin, troponin I, CK-MB and BNP levels between patients admitted in ICU and ward. The patients were divided into three groups based on their age as 20-50,50-80 and more than 80 years. We found significant difference in the levels of total protein, serum albumin, ALT, BUN, troponin I and CK –MB values. Regression analysis showed ferritin, LDH and serum albumin to be independent markers in predicting disease severity (p value <0.05).
Conclusion: This study has shown that ferritin, LDH and serum albumin are promising biochemical markers in the diagnosis and prognosis of SARS Covid 19 infection.
