Interleukin-1β–Mediated Orofacial Bone Defects and Alveolar Bone Loss in Periodontal Disease: A Scoping Review

/in /by

Orofacial bone defects, particularly alveolar bone loss, are hallmark features of periodontal disease and represent a significant clinical challenge affecting oral function and quality of life. Interleukin-1β (IL-1β) has emerged as a key pro-inflammatory cytokine mediating the link between periodontal inflammation and osteoclastic bone resorption. This scoping review using keywords related to orofacial bone defects, […]

The Relationship Between Agility Score and Ankle Flexibility and the Risk of Ankle Injury Among Basketball Players at Giovanni Catholic Senior High School Kupang

/in /by

Background: Ankle injuries are the most common type of injury experienced by basketball players, mainly due to pressure or rapid twisting forces upon landing after jumping. Agility scores and ankle flexibility are frequently associated with ankle injury risk, however research focused on high school students in Indonesia remains limited. Objective: This study aimed to investigate […]

Institutional Capacity and the Productivity of R&D: Evidence from Patent Outcomes Across Countries

/in /by

Innovation is a key driver of economic growth. However, countries with similar research and development spending show very different patent outputs. This raises questions about what makes innovation efficient. This study examines whether government effectiveness affects the relationship between R&D spending and patent production in different countries. Using panel data from 111 countries from 2000 […]

The Relationship Between Worm Infection and Nutritional Status of Elementary School Students in the Working Area of the Nulle Public Health Center

/in /by

Background: Soil-transmitted helminth (STH) infections remain a neglected public health problem in tropical regions, particularly in areas with poor sanitation and hygiene. These infections predominantly affect school-aged children and may contribute to impaired nutritional status. The working area of the Nulle Public Health Center is located in South Central Timor Regency, an area known to […]

Effect of Black Garlic Extract on Aspirin-Induced Gastric Mucosal Injury in Wistar Rats (Rattus norvegicus)

/in /by

Background: Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), including aspirin, are widely used but are associated with gastric mucosal injury through inhibition of prostaglandin synthesis and oxidative stress mechanisms. Black garlic, a processed form of Allium sativum, has been reported to possess antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties that may provide gastroprotective effects. Objective: To evaluate the effect of black […]

Study on the Utilization of Nickel (Ni) on the Growth and Yield of Mutant Sugarcane

/in /by

Enhancing national sugar productivity through the development of mutant sugarcane varieties necessitates precise nutrient management, particularly regarding the efficiency of nitrogen metabolism. Nickel (Ni) plays a vital role as an essential cofactor for the urease enzyme in hydrolyzing urea; however, its requirement thresholds in mutant genotypes require in-depth investigation to mitigate phytotoxicity risks. This study […]

Sentiment Analysis Based on Questionnaires: A Case Study on the Use of Induction Stove

/in /by

Indonesia’s reliance on subsidized Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG) for household cooking places a significant burden on the national energy subsidy budget and increases dependence on imported fossil fuels. As part of the clean energy transition strategy, the Indonesian government has promoted the conversion from LPG stoves to electric induction stoves. However, public acceptance and actual […]

Enablers and Barriers in Indonesia’s Household Energy Transition to Induction Cookstove: A Sustainability Perspective

/in /by

The transition from LPG stoves to induction cookstove is an important part of efforts to decarbonize the household sector and achieve sustainable development in Indonesia. Although induction cookers offer potential environmental, social, and economic benefits, their adoption rate is still relatively limited. This study aims to identify and analyze the enablers and barriers to transitioning […]

Nutrient Budgeting: An Enigma

/in /by

Nutrient budgeting seeks to quantify nutrient flows, evaluate the efficiency of current nutrient management practices, and provide recommendations to enhance sustainability and productivity. While fertilizer use is increasing, it’s often imbalanced, with a greater emphasis on nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P) than potassium (K). The recommended NPK ratio (6.96:2.79:1 in 2019-20) differs significantly from the […]
