The Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) (About 850 million patients globally, Global Burden of Disease CKD Collaboration 2020) and Acute Kidney Injury (AKI) (About 13 to 15 million cases yearly, KDIGO 2024) continue to be one of the most common causes of morbidity, mortality. Conventional therapies slow disease progression or replace kidney function through dialysis and transplantation but do not restore damaged renal tissue. Regenerative nephrology has emerged as a multidisciplinary field…

Research collaboration between universities and government agricultural agencies represents an important avenue for strengthening both scientific discovery and agricultural development. Although industrial training is commonly viewed as a platform for professional skill acquisition, it also provides opportunities to generate biological questions that contribute to fundamental scientific knowledge. This reflective article examines how field observations made during an industrial training…

The rapid development of Artificial Intelligence (AI) has generated unprecedented opportunities in science, education, healthcare, industry, and everyday life. At the same time, concerns regarding AI safety, governance, misinformation, and human dependence on machine generated knowledge have become increasingly prominent. The objective of this reflective commentary is to examine the importance of proactive AI safety and governance through the lessons of the Chernobyl disaster while…

Teaching practicum constitutes one of the most important components of teacher education because it provides opportunities for pre-service teachers to translate educational theories into authentic classroom practice. Through direct engagement with students, teachers, administrators, and school communities, pre-service teachers develop pedagogical competence, classroom management skills, professional communication, and reflective thinking that cannot be fully acquired through university…

The study included the determination of the antibiotic (Gramsidin) and its proportions in the organic extracts of marine species of the genus Bacillus, namely (B. cereus, B. subtilis, B. circulans, B. polymyxa), which were isolated from beach sediment samples from the Afamia region with geographical coordinates (35°76'19.1"N; 35°54'19.3"E). It is an open area affected by tourist activities, sewage canals, and ship waste. To obtain organic extracts of bacterial isolates, the optimal…

Small ruminant production is the integral part of livestock production with major economic significance in Kamba district. However, their productive and reproductive performance is very low which could be associated with parasitic infestations. The objective of this study was to determine the prevalence of gastro-intestinal parasites of small ruminants and its major risk factors in the Kamba district, Gamo zone, South Ethiopia. A cross-sectional survey was conducted to estimate the…

Food drying is an essential preservation operation in the food industry and contributes to the development of shelf-stable ingredients and consumer products. Industrial food-drying technologies, including pretreatments, processing methods, equipment, and quality-control systems, have advanced considerably in recent years. Novel approaches, including microwave assisted drying, ultrasound-assisted drying, high-electric-field drying, heat-pump drying, and refractance-window drying, have…

Background: Musculoskeletal Injuries (MSKIs) significantly impact the functional independence and academic consistency of college students. While the Functional Movement Screen (FMS) is widely deployed to identify movement dysfunctions, its isolated prognostic utility remains highly controversial.

Objective: To determine whether combining the FMS with targeted physical performance measures improves the predictive accuracy for non-contact MSKIs in…

As one of the most commonplace forms of trace evidence uncovered at crime scenes, human hair serves as a critical biological link during violent physical encounters. Historically, forensic trichology relied on microscopic evaluation-a technique invaluable for ruling out suspects but incapable of absolute individualization. However, integrating Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR), Short Tandem Repeat (STR) profiling, and mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) sequencing has revolutionized hair analysis,…

Background: Academic procrastination, defined as the voluntary delay of intended academic tasks despite potential harm, is exceedingly common among students. It is conceptualized as a failure of self-regulation and motivation that leads to negative outcomes in performance and well-being.

Objective: This review synthesizes contemporary research on student procrastination, covering definitions, prevalence (global and India), theoretical models,…
