Herbal medicine, an art form as well as a profession, is the use of herbs and herbal remedies to prevent, treat, or cure sickness. In certain tribes, herbal medicine is also known as herbal remedies. In this investigation, rats were used in the research to examine the lipid profiles of the extract from Solanum nigrum. In the case of SGPT, group 6 showed statistically significant outcomes (p< 0.05), whereas in the case of SGOT, both groups 5 and 6 showed statistically significant outcomes (p< 0.05). In relation to the SGPT and the SGOT, this is being said. Both group 5 and group 6 showed statistically significant amounts of creatinine and urea (p< 0.05) during the renal function test. Group 6 with a dose of 1200 mg/kg showed statistically significant results for high-density lipoprotein (HDL) and low-density lipoprotein (LDL) (p< 0.05). Furthermore, at dosages of 600 mg/kg and 1200 mg/kg, respectively, the triglyceride level in groups 5 and 6 was statistically significant (p< 0.05). There were no results that were deemed statistically significant for total cholesterol.

This research examines the economic landscape of Humbang Hasundutan District in North Sumatra Province, Indonesia, with a focus on identifying key sectors for development and formulating strategic approaches to harnessing their potential. Utilizing quantitative methods such as Location Quotient (LQ) Analysis, Shift Share Analysis, and Klassen Typology Analysis, alongside SWOT analysis, the study evaluates the regional economic dynamics and proposes strategies for sustainable development. The analysis reveals that agriculture, forestry, and fisheries; construction; accommodation and food service provision; and public administration are the base sectors driving economic growth in the district. These sectors exhibit significant potential for both local and external markets, indicating opportunities for further development. Strategies proposed include leveraging geographic advantages and natural resources, enhancing government support, and promoting agricultural tourism to attract investment. Additionally, addressing weaknesses such as challenging topographic conditions and improving the quality of human resources can further strengthen the agricultural sector. Furthermore, the study suggests fostering partnerships with research institutions to address agricultural challenges, facilitating access to financing, and promoting agricultural entrepreneurship among the younger generation. By capitalizing on internal strengths and external opportunities while mitigating weaknesses and threats, Humbang Hasundutan District can achieve sustainable economic growth and prosperity.

Aims: Employees who have Organizational Citizenship Behavior (OCB) have a very important role in organizational success, so this study aims to explain the effect of Leadership Style (LS) and Work-Life Balance (WLB) on OCB Behavior and the mediating role of Perceived Organizational Support (POS), and to expand research studies on OCB. Study Design: In this study, POS acts as a mediator of the LS and WLB variables on OCB. Place and Duration of Study: Department of Youth, Sports, Culture and Tourism, Banyumas Regency, Indonesia. Between January 2024 and February 2024. Methodology: The research involved 102 respondents who were the Banyumas Regency Youth, Sports, Culture and Tourism Department employees. Data was collected using a questionnaire, and data processing used SmartPLS 4.0 software. Results: LS on OCB is not significant (β = -0.037, P Value = 0.683), WLB on OCB has a significant value (β = 0.569, P Value = 0.000), LS on OCB is mediated by POS positive but not significant (β = 0.051, P Value = 0.486), WLB on OCB mediated by POS is not significant (β = -0.131, P Value = 0.120). Conclusion: Leadership Style cannot influence OCB, while Work-Life Balance can influence OCB. The mediating role of POS between Leadership Style and OCB is positive but insignificant, and POS cannot mediate Work-Life Balance on OCB.

Aims: This study aimed to estimate the prevalence and evaluate the associated factors of irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) among migraine patients attending Dubai Health Authority clinics in Dubai. In addition, we assessed the potential association between food allergy and migraine. Study Design: Cross-sectional study. Place and Duration of Study: Dubai health authority clinics, between February and May 2023. Methods: The sample size was 312; it was done through a cross-sectional study through a Google Forms questionnaire distributed among known cases of migraine who are more than 18 years of age attending Dubai Health Authority (DHA) clinics. The survey includes 2 parts: the consent then the questionnaire, which is subdivided into 4 parts: demographics, questionnaire about migraine characteristics, Rome 4 criteria to screen for irritable bowel syndrome, a questionnaire to screen for anxiety and depression using Self-Rating Anxiety Scale (SAS) and Self-Rating Depression Scale (SDS). Analysis was done through the IBM SPSS Statistics version 28.0 program. Results: The prevalence of IBS was 36.9% among migraine patients. The prevalence is greater among females, students, and those in the 30-39 age group. It was significantly noticed that those with longer headache duration have a higher prevalence of IBS 52.4% (p-value= 0.050); also, those with a family history of migraine had a higher prevalence of IBS 43.1% (p-value= 0.019). In the food allergy analysis, 27.6% of the patients were having food allergies. We have found that people allergic to citrus, coffee, and dairy products are more likely to develop IBS symptoms. We have found that the prevalence of IBS was higher in those with mild and moderate forms of anxiety and depression. Conclusion: In conclusion, there is an association of IBS in migraine patients attending Dubai Health Authority clinics, but further study is needed.

Humans and the food industry both depend on food safety. As a result, food handlers must have a strong understanding of food safety and practice good hygiene. The purpose of this study was to assess restaurant food workers' food safety knowledge and hygiene practices in Manikganj, Bangladesh. A total of 150 food workers were interviewed to assess their level of knowledge and practices on food safety and hygiene. The majority of people believe that knowing how to properly wash your hands reduces the risk of food contamination. Furthermore, 83.7% of people who use gloves to process food do so to prevent contamination (98 %). While 56.66 % of the respondents were confident in their knowledge of how to clean instruments properly to avoid food contamination, 40.66 % avoided it, and 2.67 % had no idea. Only 36% disagreed with the proportion of participants (50.67%) who agreed that eating and drinking at work increases the risk of food contamination. According to 34.67% of those polled, washing utensils with detergent removes contamination. Using preventative approaches, providing continuous education to food handlers on food hygiene and food safety, ensuring that monitoring systems are in place, and increasing the power of health inspectors concerning food inspection can all help to improve the effective management of microbiological hazards.

An experiment was conducted on Nutritional and chemical composition of frying, smoked, freezing, solar dried and salting of African mud catfish, to monitor nutrient and mineral lost as a result of preservative method, 100 (one hundred) pieces table size African mud catfish was purchased from Kwara state Ministry of Agriculture farm in Ilorin, the fishes were then divided into five (5) portions of twenty (20) pieces each and each portion were preserved by frying, smoking, freezing, solar dried and lastly by salting, after which both proximate and mineral content of the fish samples were then carried out and, it was observed that , the crude lipid of the fried fish was higher (P<0.05) followed by freezing, smoked dried and lastly salting which is the least. No significant difference occurred in crude fibre (P>0.05), except the smoked dried and freezing that is the least. The moisture content of freezing and salting was better (P<0.05) when compared to other methods. The phosphorus (Ph), Pottassium (K), Zinc (Zn), and Magnessiu (Mg) was higher in smoked dried (P<0.05) while Calcium (Ca) was higher in salting method and therefore we concluded that Frying retained most of the nutrients, followed by solar drying and smoke drying for African mud catfish, but the minerals are better retained by smoked dried fish when compared to others.

It is a known fact that, the current technological explosion affecting all faceted of human endeavor does not exempted the education sector, hence, owing to this reality, different forms of technologies are currently in used in order to improve on the pedagogical or operational skills of both teachers and students with the hope of bringing improvement in teaching and learning process. Therefore, the adoption of emerging technology such as Artificial Intelligent (AI) in education system becomes imperative. Interestingly to note was that, AI has been in the education technology space for a while, but its adoption has been greatly slow. However, during the COVID-19 pandemic, virtual learning forced the industry to shift and the technology helps streamline the student education process by offering access to suitable courses, bettering communication among students with their tutors thereby bridging the gaps of learning shortage occasioned by the pandemics. It was in line with this development that, this review paper discussed the sub-field of Artificial Intelligence applications and these were: Machine learning; Speech recognition; Expert system; Natural language processing; Robotics; Vision and planning. Moreso, the paper explained Artificial Intelligence and its application in education owing to its significance to educational development in this 21st Century. It further highlighted the broad classifications of Artificial Intelligence for Educational Adoption and these are: Students focus, Teacher’s focus and Institutional focus. Additionally, Educational advantages of its adoption are identified and they include: It makes it possible for easy collaborations between the teachers and the students in or outside the classroom setting and It has the capability of providing real-time data and algorithm of any kinds depending on the request of the user. Major challenges which include Difficulties in using AI in an enable classroom to address the digital divide and avoid exacerbating existing inequalities that already in existence and Lack of adequate infrastructure, such as reliable internet connectivity, electricity, and devices, that are essential for the delivery and use of AI-based educational solutions. Lastly, Conclusion are made as regard the discussed around the adoption of AI in education.

The study examined the effect of tenses instruction on sentence construction, paragraphing, and editing in senior secondary students' narrative composition writing achievements in Shendam Local Government Area, Plateau State, Nigeria. The study investigated three research questions and three hypotheses. The study adopted a quasi-experimental (non-randomised control group) research design. The study's population included all 959 senior secondary II English students in Shendam Local Government Area, Plateau State, Nigeria, and a sample of 90 students from two intact classes (Experimental group 50, control group 40) participated in the study. Students in the experimental group received six weeks of training on tenses instruction, while those in the control group received standard conventional instruction. The researchers used the Narrative Composition Achievement Test for obtaining baseline and after the intervention data. A reliability of 0.80 was calculated using the Pearson product moment correlation coefficient, which was satisfactory. Data were examined using descriptive statistics (means and SDI) and analysis of covariance ANCOVA. At baseline, students revealed inadequate abilities in sentence construction, paragraphing, and editing on the narrative composition accomplishment test. Students' ability to form sentences, generate paragraphs, and edit narrative composition writing was also significantly improved by tenses instruction. The study concluded that tenses instruction has significant effects on sentence construction, paragraphing, and editing in the achievement test for narrative composition.
