Restorative justice focuses on repairing the harm caused by crime while holding the offender responsible for their actions. This study explored the lived experiences and insights of male offenders undergoing restorative justice in Tangub City, Misamis Occidental. The study was participated by five offenders undergoing restorative justice. The participants were chosen through purposive sampling. Interview and guide questions were used in gathering the data. The study used the qualitative approach using the phenomenological design.

Sclerotium rolfsii Sacc. is a very damaging plant pathogen that infects more than 500 plant species, resulting in substantial reductions in crop productivity. A field and laboratory studies were conducted at the Imo State University, Owerribotanical garden and Department of Plant Science and Biotechnology laboratory, to determine the effectiveness of oil palm fruit bunch extract against S. rolfsii.

Background: Cassava, (Manihotesculenta Crantz), is a crucial crop for ensuring food security in sub-Saharan Africa, and intermittent drought conditions affect its proximate composition and disease susceptibility. Methods: A field experiment was carried out at the National Root Crop Research Institute, Umudike, Umuahia in Abia State, Nigeria, and at the Department of Plant Science and Biotechnology, Imo State University to evaluate the cassava root proximate composition, and tuber rot incidence.

Dietary composition is one of the major experimental factors that affects many aspects of animal physiology including life span, general health, reproductive fitness and progeny sex ratio hence the present study has been undertaken in Drosophila melanogaster to investigate the effect of creatine monohydrate supplemented media on sex ratio. In the present study, the results showed that flies fed creatine monohydrate treated media produce greater number of female offspring than male offspring while control media produced almost equivalent number of female and male progenies.

In comparison to other mammals humans as well as their teeth grow up slowly. Forensic odontology is a branch of forensic science that studies about the teeth, their growth and development as well as the crime associated with it. Not only for chewing purpose teeth do play an important role in criminal investigation through bite marks as they carry DNA and are unique. In this paper, various methods are studied for the analysis of bite marks.

Vaccination not only reduces the risk of short- and long-term health complications from COVID-19, but it also slows or stops the spread of the disease by preventing it from being passed onto others that are at high-risk for severe COVID-19 illness, like grandparents or daycare staff with underlying medical conditions. The pace of the COVID-19 vaccine development process is unprecedented and is challenging the traditional paradigm of vaccinology science.

An impacted tooth is often a common problem in dentistry. Maxillary canines and mandibular laterals are seen impacted most commonly in patients undergoing orthodontic treatment without reaching the line of occlusion. These impactions are commonly due to obstructions and the difference in the direction of movement of the tooth. Canines are the cornerstones for esthetic smiles and functional occlusion. Hence, surgical exposure of these impacted canines, guiding them toward the line of occlusion, plays a very important role in the maintenance of the health of the periodontium.

Maxillary substance loss can be defined as an interruption in the continuity of the osseous and/or fibrous tissues of the maxillary arch. It can be caused by various factors such as trauma, infectious factors or resection of tumour processes. This loss of tissue often results in bucco-sinusal or bucco-naso-sinusal communication, which can have a number of disabling consequences. Functional problems are often observed as the communication created between these natural cavities results in leakage of air, food and fluids, making eating difficult or impossible and communication unintelligible.

Stress is constant especially when a person is studying and working at the same time. This study entitled “Factors Affecting Stress Occurrence among Working Criminology Students of Gov. Alfonso D Tan College, Philippines” aimed to assess the factors affecting stress occurrence among criminology working students in GADTC. The study utilized a descriptive quantitative method to quantify and describe the level of stress of working criminology students.

Herbal plants are having medicinal value gaining more importance in clinical research now days due to their better pharmacological response and less side effects as compared to allopathic drugs. Plant produces primary metabolites for their basic survival and secondary metabolites for their ecological, taxonomical and biochemical differentiation and diversity.
