Plants have gained great importance. Secondary metabolites contribute to the drug discovery and development by their bioactive properties. L. essential oil (EO) was obtained and analysed. Antioxidant and antibacterial activities were evaluated. The plant's EOs were obtained through steam distillation, and the compounds were identified using gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) analysis. DPPH free radical scavenging and ferric-reducing antioxidant power (FRAP) were employed to assess antioxidant activity. Total antioxidant capacity (TAC) was also presented. The disc diffusion method was employed for testing antibacterial activity. Cyclohexanone was identified as the predominant component in the EO, constituting 88.74% of the total composition. The EO did not show significant antioxidant capacity, while it demonstrated antimicrobial effect against ATCC 6633 (>13 mm of inhibition; 500 mg/mL) and Shigella ATCC 12022 (≥12 mm of inhibition; 500 mg/mL). L. is new source of cyclohexanone.

The agricultural sector of any country plays a pivotal role in its economy. Irrigation and the provision of appropriate nutrient levels in soil are essential for optimizing plant growth and enhancing crop productivity. To support the increasing need for food due to the growing population worldwide, synthetic fertilizers have been widely used in the agricultural sector.

Introduction: Standing balance is essential for physical functioning. Therefore, improving balance control is a key priority in the management of knee osteoarthritis (OA), underscoring the importance of accurately assessing standing balance.
Purpose: To assess reliability, construct validity and responsiveness of common clinical balance tests, including Step Test, Single-Leg Stance Test, and Functional Reach Test, in patients with knee OA.

Background: Identifying signs of autism is essential for enabling timely diagnosis and intervention. Children from multiethnic and socioeconomic disadvantaged settings are typically diagnosed with autism later than their general peers. This feasibility study explored the psychometric properties of a new instrument, Joint Attention Observation Schedule Preschool (JA-OBS Preschool), in children with suspected autism.

Introduction: Information from parents and teachers are essential in the treatment monitoring of children with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). Rating scales are infrequently used in the treatment monitoring, and clinicians are signalling logistic barriers in the administration of rating scales in clinical settings. Here, we aimed to try out a new easy-to-use scale to facilitate information sharing between parents, teachers, and medical staff, in the treatment of childhood ADHD.

Accurate measurement tools are essential for evaluating the health-related quality of life in older adults. We aimed to translate and evaluate the psychometric properties of the Sickness Impact Profile-30 (SIP-30) in community-dwelling older adults. One hundred and fifty older adults participated in this study.
