ABSTRACT
The research on work-life balance (WLB) published in journals with a Scopus index between 2011 and 2022 is carefully examined in this work. Our research attempts to clarify the evolution and trends in WLB research and the importance of publications that Scopus indexes. After analyzing 2717 research articles, we found that WLB publications have a significant annual growth rate of 14.71 %, which suggests that the trend continues to grow. Significant changes are seen, with 1888 papers produced between 2017 and 2022 highlighting a notable increase in interest in the field. With 1608 papers, social sciences account for the majority of WLB research. With 54 publications, Griffith University (Australia) is the most affiliated institution. With 30 papers, the "Economic and Social Research Council of the United Kingdom" became the primary source of financing. The most prolific author, with nine publications, is Lingard H. At the same time, co-citation analysis reveals 168 co-cited authors. The United States (USA), the United Kingdom (U.K.), and Australia (A.U.) are the top three producing nations. A thematic analysis reveals ten major WLB themes, from work stress to difficulties with human resource management. This study provides crucial insights for policymakers and leaders to address work-life balance issues effectively. Using tools like Gephi or CiteSpace, we could deepen our understanding through advanced analysis methods such as page rank and network visualization.
ABSTRACT
Ameloblastoma (AM) is considered one of the most common lesions of odontogenic origin. Although it is always considered as benign neoplasm, ameloblastic carcinoma (AC) represents its malignant counterpart. It is characterized by the expansion of jaws, rapid growth, and a perforated cortex with well-defined unilocular/multilocular radiolucent lesions. To confirm the diagnosis of AM and AC is extremely crucial. Immunohistochemistry such as SOX2 and Ki67 plays a significant role in the confirmation of diagnosis. Management of these cases is from surgical excision with radical neck dissection. The prognosis is poor with only 5 years of survival. This review presents an interesting case of ex-AC, in which the patient was diagnosed at the same site with peripheral AM 1 year ago.
ABSTRACT
Globular amorphous carbonaceous materials embedded with graphite encapsulated metallic Co-nanoparticles with a high degree of crystallinity are synthesized by pyrolysis and demonstrated as excellent candidates for optical limiters. The amount of metal precursor (Co-acetylacetonate) used with toluene for pyrolysis is chosen as a strategy to control the degree of graphitization of graphene-like shells around the embedded Co-nanoparticles and also the crystallinity of these Co nanoparticles in the samples. The graphitic shell with an optimum amount of defects tunes the electronic properties of these nanomaterials, providing the electronic states required for the enhancement of nonlinear optical absorption (NLA) through an excited state absorption (ESA) process. Simultaneously, the increase in the crystallinity of the Co nanoparticle enhances its metallic nature, which helps in increasing NLA performance through the free carrier absorption (FCA) process. The importance of highly metallic Co is to involve both the Co nanoparticle and its graphitic encapsulation in facilitating the FCA process, which substantially enhances NLA. In comparison with many similar samples (e.g., Fe3C@C at 100 µJ of laser energy), our present samples show superior NLA performance even at the much lower laser pulse energy of â¼15 µJ. This performance is much better than many of the present-day NLA materials too. The simple, low-cost and one-step pyrolysis synthesis process makes our materials even more attractive.
