ABSTRACT:

Advances in the understanding of wound healing have encouraged the use of newer topical agents for managing both acute and chronic wounds. Silver-based preparations have traditionally formed an important component of burn care due to their antimicrobial properties. Nanocrystalline silver represents a refinement of conventional silver formulations by offering sustained antimicrobial activity along with modulation of the inflammatory response. Electrical burns affecting the hand present particular challenges because tissue injury is often unpredictable and infection risk is high. We report the conservative management of an elderly patient with an electrical burn injury to the hand using nanocrystalline silver cream, which resulte d in satisfactory wound healing without the need for surgical intervention.

Keywords: Electrical burn; Hand burn; Nanocrystalline silver; Burn wound management; Conservative treatment.

ABSTRACT:

This study developed a novel fortified blended fertilizer using locally available waste materials: powdered sewage, wood ash, agricultural lime, and human urine. The formulation was optimized into basal and top-dressing blends by incorporating small quantities of commercial NPK and urea, respectively. The fertilizer was applied to maize under field conditions, and its effects were evaluated through soil testing and plant performance. Laboratory analysis revealed high nutrient concentrations (N: 308โ€“ 359 mg/kg, P: 432โ€“503 mg/kg, K: 988โ€“1150 mg/kg) and elevated fertility indices (3397โ€“3953 mg/kg). Field trials demonstrated successful maize growth with no signs of nutrient deficiency or toxicity. The results indicate that this fortified blended fertilizer can serve as a sustainable, low-cost alternative to conventional inorganic fertilizers, contributing to circular agriculture and waste valorisation.

Keywords: Fortified blended fertilizer, waste valorisation, sewage ash fertilizer, organic-mineral blend, maize nutrition, soil fertility.

ABSTRACT:

This viewpoint paper investigates the ways in which higher education institutions (HEIs) may forge organizational learning capabilities to generate an AI implementation system that meets sustainability criteria while supporting the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). This viewpoint synthesizes current trends in AI adoption, organizational learning theory, and sustainability frameworks to put forth a conceptual model for responsible AI implementation in higher education contexts. In traditional scenarios, AI implementation in HEIs gives precedence to technological advancement and tends to overlook other aspects of environmental and social responsibility, thereby forming a critical gap in sustainable organizational learning practice. This paper offers the first full-fledged viewpoint connecting AI implementation with organizational learning for sustainability in higher education, thus laying some groundwork at the underrecognized interface of technology adoption and environmental responsibility. This viewpoint is conceptual, requiring empirical validation in a variety of institutional and cultural settings.Framework proposed herein can be used by HEIs as practical ways of integrating sustainability issues into the AI adoption process contraposed to building institutional learning capabilities. A sustainable AI implementation can serve to support various SDGs, fostering the ethical use of technology and environmental care in education.

ABSTRACT:

This study investigated the effect of motivation on employee productivity in Aliyan Global Security and Cleaning Services, Jalingo, Taraba State, Nigeria. Employee productivity is critical for organizational efficiency and growth. The study employed a descriptive survey research design, targeting a population of 251 employees, from which 154 respondents were selected using Taro Yamaneโ€™s formula and simple random sampling. Primary data were collected through structured questionnaires with a four-point Likert scale measuring intrinsic factors (recognition, job satisfaction, personal growth) and extrinsic factors (salary, allowances, financial incentives). Data were analyzed using simple linear regression to assess the relationship between motivation and employee productivity. Findings revealed that both intrinsic and extrinsic motivation significantly influenced employee productivity. Extrinsic motivation, with a standardized Beta of 0.506, indicated that financial incentives are important drivers of performance, while intrinsic motivation exhibited a stronger effect (Beta = 0.710), highlighting the importance of recognition, job satisfaction, and personal development in sustaining productivity. The results support Herzbergโ€™s Two-Factor Theory and Vroomโ€™s Expectancy Theory, emphasizing the combined role of psychological and financial incentives in motivating employees. The study concludes that a balanced approach integrating both intrinsic and extrinsic motivational strategies is necessary to optimize productivity in service-oriented organizations. It recommends that management regularly implement structured reward systems and employee development programs to enhance engagement and performance. These findings provide practical insights for policymakers, managers, and human resource practitioners aiming to improve workforce productivity in Nigeria and similar contexts.

ABSTRACT:

Entamoeba histolytica is a protozoan parasite causing amebiasis, which may involve the liver and lead to hepatocellular injury and biliary disturbances. This cross-sectional study evaluated the effect of E. histolytica infection on liver function among 50 patients attending Al-Bayda Medical Center, Libya, in 2025. Infection was determined using stool microscopy, with 30 patients testing positive and 20 negative. Serum liver function markersโ€”alanine aminotransferase (ALT), aspartate aminotransferase (AST), alkaline phosphatase (ALP), total bilirubin (TB), and direct bilirubin (DB)โ€”were analyzed using automated clinical chemistry systems. Normality was assessed with the Shapiro-Wilk test, and differences between groups were analyzed using the Wilcoxon rank-sum test, with effect sizes calculated to determine the magnitude of changes. Results showed significant elevations in ALT (47.2 ยฑ 36.1 U/L vs. 12.4 ยฑ 7.8 U/L; r = 0.804), AST (41.6 ยฑ 16.2 U/L vs. 20.3 ยฑ 10.2 U/L; r = 0.760), and ALP (144.0 ยฑ 58.0 U/L vs. 88.2 ยฑ 23.6 U/L; r = 0.550) in infected patients, indicating hepatocellular injury and possible cholestatic involvement. Total and direct bilirubin levels differed minimally, suggesting preserved bilirubin metabolism in most patients. These findings highlight the importance of monitoring liver function in patients with suspected or confirmed E. histolytica infection. Elevated hepatocellular enzymes may serve as early indicators of hepatic involvement, facilitating timely diagnosis and clinical management. This study provides insights into the biochemical impact of E. histolytica in a Libyan clinical setting and emphasizes the need for further research using imaging and molecular diagnostics for comprehensive hepatic assessment.

ABSTRACT:

Contemporary organizations encounter substantial challenges in strategic workforce planning, with empirical evidence indicating that merely 15% of enterprises engage in comprehensive long-term talent forecasting beyond conventional headcount methodologies. This investigation develops an integrated theoretical and operational framework for optimizing human-AI collaboration within strategic workforce planning domains, specifically addressing critical deficiencies in organizational capabilities and predictive talent management systems. Through systematic examination of dynamic capabilities theory synthesized with human-computer interaction paradigms, this study advances an innovative collaborative intelligence architecture that harmonizes AI-driven predictive analytics with human strategic reasoning processes. The framework directly confronts the anticipated 85 million vacant positions projected by 2030 through enhanced organizational performance mechanisms and strategic talent optimization strategies. Principal findings establish that effective human-AI collaboration necessitates methodical integration of technological competencies with human cognitive advantages, transparent decision-making architectures, and adaptive organizational configurations. The proposed framework contributes substantially to theoretical comprehension and practical deployment of collaborative intelligence systems within workforce planning environments.

Keywords: Human-AI collaboration, strategic workforce planning, predictive analytics, organizational capabilities, talent forecasting.

ABSTRACT:

This conceptual paper examines the foundational theoretical contributions of Stephen Hymer and Charles Kindleberger to international business scholarship, proposing a unified framework that bridges their complementary perspectives on multinational enterprise behavior and foreign direct investment patterns while incorporating insights from contemporary theoretical extensions. This study employs a comprehensive literature review methodology, analyzing primary theoretical works to develop new hypotheses about the evolution and contemporary relevance of Hymer-Kindleberger theoretical foundations in modern global business contexts through systematic theoretical synthesis. The analysis reveals that Hymer’s market imperfection theory and Kindlebergerโ€™s perspective create a synergistic framework for understanding multinational enterprise behavior. Three novel hypotheses emerge regarding the intersection of market power dynamics, institutional stability, and corporate international expansion strategies, supported by evidence from contemporary theoretical extensions. This paper presents the first systematic integration of Hymer and Kindleberger’s theoretical contributions, proposing new conceptual bridges between microeconomic firm behavior and macroeconomic international stability theories in multinational enterprise research while incorporating insights from modern platform capitalism and digital economy transformations. Future empirical testing of the proposed integrated framework across different industrial sectors and geographical contexts would strengthen the theoretical contributions presented, particularly in emerging markets and digital economy contexts. The unified framework offers strategic guidance for multinational enterprises navigating complex international environments where market imperfections intersect with varying degrees of institutional stability, providing actionable insights for contemporary global business challenges. As a result of the theoretical integration, a better understanding of how the behaviour of multinational corporations affects the stability and development tendencies of the global economy is achieved. This, in turn, provides policymakers with insights that are focused on the objectives of sustainable development and international economic governance.
