A Contribution to the Study of Geographical Displacement of Crime using GIS–Kings Cross, London
Abstract: Displacement of crime is the specter that haunts crime prevention studies, in that, the crime problem does not go away but shifts from one location to another. The fact that crime is not reduced in an area but rather moves around means that trying to change the situation and circumstances surrounding the targeted area may not fully reduce crime. Research that has been previously carried out into the study of …

An Immunohistochemical Study to Assess the Role of Myofibroblasts in Diagnosing and Predicting the Outcome of Oral Squamous Cell Carcinoma
Abstract: Background: Squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) accounts for approximately 94% of all oral malignancies, hence establishing oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) as one of the top 10 most prevalent malignant tumors. Cells with several functions, such as macrophages and myofibroblasts, play a vital role in the biological behavior of tumors. This study aimed to assess and evaluate the prevalence of myofibroblasts (MF) and macrophages in SCCs occurring in the oral region. …

From Baseline Survey to Management Plan: A Systematic Framework for Port-Specific Mitigation of Underwater Radiated Noise
Abstract: The growing recognition of underwater radiated noise (URN) as a significant marine pollutant necessitates the development of actionable management frameworks at the port level, where noise sources are concentrated, and impacts can be particularly acute. While international guidelines exist, a standardized methodology for ports to transition from assessment to implementation is lacking, particularly in regions with high biodiversity and developing maritime infrastructure. This paper presents and demonstrates a systematic, four-phase …

Morphological Heterogeneity and Ethnic Patterning of Anthropometric Traits in Ethiopian Inter-Scholastic Athletes
Abstract: Introduction: Anthropometric characteristics such as body size, proportions, and composition are fundamental determinants of morphological suitability for sport. Ethiopia’s significant ethnic diversity suggests potential variability in these traits; however, systematic data on anthropometric differences among adolescent athletes from different ethnic and demographic backgrounds remain limited. Understanding these variations is critical for talent identification and sports specialization at the school level. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted among inter-scholastic athletes representing …

Bioinformatics-based Preparation and Characterization of Silver Nanoparticles Synthesized from Pterocarpus marsupium
Abstract: Silver nanoparticles were synthesized using Pterocarpus marsupium bark extract in combination with silver nitrate solution through a green synthesis method. Silver nanoparticles formation was confirmed by the formation of dark brown from solution of silver nitrate, where the reduction of silver ion occurs which leads to the formation of silver nanoparticles. The UV–visible spectra showed a peak at 429 nm, confirming the reduction of silver ions and the subsequent synthesis …

Effect of Nutritional Counselling on Risk Level of Glycosylated Hemoglobin (HbA1c) of Middle-aged Non-insulin Dependent Diabetics
Abstract: Glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1c) is a form of hemoglobin that is measured primarily to identify the average plasma glucose concentration over a prolonged period of time. As the average amount of plasma glucose increases, the fraction of glycosylated hemoglobin increases in a predictable way. This serves as a marker for average blood glucose levels over the previous months prior to the measurement. Present study was conducted on diabetic patients who were …
