Persea americana attenuates inflammatory response associated with hyperlipidemia in ovariectomized and irradiated rats by regulating MMP-3/TIMP-1 levels
Authors: Elmaghraby Dina F. , Salem Fatma A.M. , Ahmed Esraa S 
Published: September 2022

Objective:
To explore the effect of Persea americana supplementation on inflammation, oxidative stress, and lipid profiles in ovariectomized rats fed with a high-fat diet and exposed to radiation.

Methods:
The control group was sham operated, while groups 2-5 were ovariectomized and fed a high-fat diet. Groups 4 and 5 were exposed to γ-radiation (1 Gy/week for 5 weeks) after ovariectomy. Groups 3 and 5 were treated with 1 mL/250 g/day of Persea americana for one month. Serum levels of estrogen, alanine aminotransferase, aspartate aminotransferase, cholesterol, triglycerides and lipoproteins were measured. Additionally, hepatic oxidative stress, inflammatory and fibrogenic markers were evaluated.

Results:

Persea americana treatment reduced the oxidative stress markers as well as the levels of triglyceride, total cholesterol, and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol, which in turn lowered hepatic fat accumulation. Moreover, it suppressed hepatic inflammatory mediators (interleukin-6, tumor necrosis factor-α, and C-reactive protein) and downregulated pro-fibrogenic markers (transforming growth factor-β and tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinase-1).

Conclusions:

Persea americana provides protection against ovariectomy, and gamma radiation-mediated hepatic inflammation not only through its antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, lipid-lowering effect but also by modulating the fibrogenic markers.

Published: September 2022

Introduction:
Fractures of the humeral pallet are more and more frequent; this is linked to the increase in road accidents and their violence.

Methods:
We have collected in our archives 55 cases of fracture of the humeral pallet at the Traumatology–Orthopedics Department of the IBN SINA CHU in RABAT from January 2015 to December 2019.

Results:
They mainly affect young adults with a clear predominance of men (73%). The trauma most often occurs by direct mechanism (65%). The main cause of these fractures is represented by road accidents (56%), followed by assaults and falls. Supra and intercondylar fractures are the most described anatomical form (65%). The treatment is surgical in all cases, with predominance of the posterior approach.

Discussion:
Considering the comminution often encountered, only a solid and stable osteosynthesis allows the anatomical restoration of the elbow, by adapting the indications to the types of fractures and by using a more codified technique, to allow an early rehabilitation, better guarantee of recovery of elbow function. The LECESTRE premolded plate is the most used in supra and intercondylar fractures; it seems to be a real progress in osteosynthesis (31.03% good results and 51.72% average results) for this type of fracture.

Conclusion:
The management of humeral paddle fractures is based on perfect anatomical reduction, by a solid assembly which must allow early rehabilitation ensuring good functionality.

Normative value of sensory nerve action potential of median and ulnar nerves
Authors: Jena Sunil Kumar , Acharya Manoranjan 
Published: September 2022

Background:
Demographic factors such as age, height, weight, and body mass index are important to affect nerve conduction study. Hence, each neurology laboratory should establish its own normative reference data to evaluate the functional status of peripheral nerves. The aim of this study was to establish the normative value of sensory nerve action potential (SNAP) parameters of median and ulnar nerves.

Materials and Methods:
This study included 92 healthy adults (52 males and 40 females) between the age group of 20 and 60 years. They were classified into three groups A, B, and C. Body mass index was matched for the selection of study participants. SNAP was recorded as per the standard protocol and room temperature was maintained as per the standard guidelines. Onset latency (OL), amplitude (Amp), and conduction velocity (CV) were recorded for data analysis. One-way ANOVA and post hoc analysis were used for statistical analysis. P < 0.05 was considered to be statistically significant.

Results:
OL in the older age group was prolonged than younger both in the median and ulnar nerves. CV and Amp were less in the older age group than younger both in the median and ulnar nerves. The increasing tendency of OL was observed after 35 years of age. The decreasing tendency of Amp and CV was observed after 50 years of age.

Conclusion:
SNAP parameters vary according to demographic region. Hence, each laboratory should establish its own normative data to evaluate the functional status of peripheral nerves.
Knowledge, attitude, and practice of dental practitioners toward the medicolegal system
Authors: Kallianpur Ruchika , Pereira Treville , Shetty Subraj , Gotmare Swati , Pereira Christina , Anjali A. K. 
Published: September 2022

Background:
Every element of human involvement is affected by the law, and dentistry is no exception in this respect. The efficient implementation and development of comprehensive care is halted by a lack of awareness of the medicolegal aspects. Awareness of the medicolegal system is as essential as professional competence in the practice of medicine. It only makes it vital for health practitioners to be informed of medical law and ethics because of heightened understanding among patients about the same.

Aim:
The aim of this study was to evaluate the knowledge and awareness on medicolegal issues among dental practitioners in Mumbai.

Materials and Methods:
A self-structured, pretested, close-ended, self-administered questionnaire was conducted on 100 dental graduates and postgraduates across Mumbai compromising 11 questions related to the medicolegal system, Consumer Protection Act, and informed consent.

Conclusion:
Participants were aware of the various aspects of the medical legal system, but lacked comprehension of the finer points. However, they lacked basic information in regard to the medicolegal programs and courses offered in the country.

A Comparativistic Analysis of the Transformation of Alimentary Aspect of the Other’s Image: 2018-2022
Authors: Aliev Rastyam T. , Yakushenkova Olesya S. 
Published: September 2022

The study focuses on the transformation of the alimentary models of the imaginative Other. Based on the statistics of the Russian Internet queries, the authors identified a number of markers, determining the main alimentary models of the Other. They carried out a comparative analysis of the obtained in 2018-2019 (pre-Сovid-19) models with similar Post-Covid models for 2021-2022. The researchers' hypothesis is that the queries can reveal the attitude of the modern Russians to the Other, determine the criteria by which the images are formed and the factors, affecting their transformation.
The study showed that interest in the Other’s food is unstable. The number of queries constantly fluctuates. Both external factors (geopolitical, etc.) and contact with the objects of foreign mass culture can influence the growth of interests. At the same time, all markers (and stereotypes) can be conditionally divided into two groups: stable (fixed for several years), and situational, determined by external factors.
The long-term analysis allowed the authors to trace the increased relevance of a number of cannibalistic markers in the image of the Other, the main reason for which, according to the researchers, was the pandemic, and the subsequent decline of interest in them in 2022.
We should also mention the growing interest in video content (mukbang) In our view, this interest may be indicative of the observer's desire to transcend cultural boundaries and interact more closely with the Other. It is also particularly curious that this interest is directed toward the most alert models of the Other.

Authors: Ikenna Dr.Egungwu , Ursula Egungwu Ngozi 
Published: September 2022

Purpose: This study is on the interaction between corporate performance variables and Intellectual capital effectiveness of selected banks in Nigeria.Methodology: One multivariate model that incorporates the three performance indicators was formulated. The three (3) indicators are Asset Quality, Loan Quality, and Net Income. The study adopted ex-post-facto research design on a time series data spanning 10 years (2006-2015). The sampling technique was purposive sampling and data were drawn from the financial statements of the selected banks. Ordinary Least Square regression analysis was employed to test each of the three (3) hypotheses, at 5% level of significance.Results: The results indicated that; intellectual capital contributes positively to asset quality of banks; there is no significant positive effect of intellectual capital on loan quality; there is a significant positive effect of intellectual capital on net income of the banks.Unique contribution to theory, practice and policy: The study recommended that banks should take inventory of her portfolio (assets) so as to identify those of them that are no longer useful and also employ qualified, experienced and trained staff to add value to her intellectu1resources.
EFFECT OF SUCCESSION MANAGEMENT PRACTICES ON PERFORMANCE OF INSURANCE FIRMS
Authors: Kajwang Ben 
Published: September 2022

Purpose: The study aimed to determine effect of succession management practices on performance of insurance firms.
Methodology: A desk-study method was adopted.
Findings: A deliberate and methodical effort made by an organization to maintain leadership continuity in important positions, preserve and cultivate intellectual and knowledge capital for the future, and stimulate individual progress is what we mean when we talk about succession planning. Despite the fact that research has demonstrated the significance of carrying out appropriate succession planning, a significant number of businesses continue to function without a defined succession plan. Our research aims to determine whether or not there is a correlation between the use of succession management methods and the level of performance achieved by insurance companies. Even though succession planning is critical to the success of a company, many businesses still don't make the effort to prepare for leadership transitions, which can have devastating effects on the business. In order to adequately prepare for executive changes, succession planning is strongly suggested for insurance businesses due to the features of these companies.
Unique contribution of theory, practice and policy: The research suggests that organizations should implement replacement planning as well as succession planning since these two types of planning, when combined, can reduce the likelihood of a company failing to meet its financial obligations. It is critical for organizations to develop succession strategies that are robust and fully vested. It is important for companies to pay attention to the standard of education provided to employees who may fill future leadership roles.
EFFECT OF PARTICIPATIVE GOVERNANCE AND HUMAN CAPITAL ON THE ORGANIZATIONAL PERFORMANCE OF DAIRY CO-OPERATIVES IN KENYA
Authors: Wathanga Joshua 
Published: September 2022

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of participative governance and human capital on the organizational performance of dairy co-operatives in Kenya.Methodology: The study adopted the positivist research philosophy and descriptive correlational research design. The population of the study consisted of 198 executive directors/managers of active dairy co-operatives in eight counties in the Mt. Kenya region. A sample size of 184 was drawn using stratified random sampling, and data was collected using self-administered questionnaires. The data was then analyzed using descriptive statistics of frequency, mean, and standard deviation. Additionally, inferential data analysis methods of Pearson’s correlation, ANOVA, and multiple linear regression were used to test the hypotheses.Results: The results of multiple regression showed that market orientation significantly predicted revenue per customer, b = 1.64, t(141) = 7.66, p < .05; ROA, b = 2.14, t(141) = 5.9, p < .05; and product innovation, b =1.89, t(141) = 5.77, p < .05. Participative governance was not significant in explaining revenue per customer, return on assets, and product innovation. Although the results of multiple regression analysis showed that human capital was not significant in explaining revenue per customer or ROA, it significantly affected product innovation, b = .94, t(141) = 2.01, p <.05. In addition, the regression indicated that revenue per customer explained 49.7% of the variance, (R2 = .497, F(5, 125) = 20.10, p < .05, while ROA explained 29.4 %, (R2 = .294, F(5, 123) = 9.06, p < .05, and product innovation explained 41.2%, (R2 = 0.412, F(5, 124) = 15.18, p < .05.Unique contribution to theory, practice and policy: This study contributes to theory of corporate governance by using stewardship theory to underpin research into organizational performance of a member-based agricultural enterprise. The study contributes to practice by suggesting that participation of members and shareholders in organizations may have other benefits, including non-economic ones, but enhancing organizational performance may not be one of them. In terms of policy, the study suggests that dairy co-operatives should put emphasis on acquiring employees with requisite knowledge and skills or their performance may be hamstrung by inadequate intellectual capital to facilitate their innovation and performance.
