· Healthcare (Nurses' Emotional Intelligence Study): Enhances nurse well-being, improves patient care, and informs policy development in the healthcare sector.

· Veterinary and Livestock Management (Ultrasonography in Sheep): Advances livestock prenatal care, improves animal welfare, and provides economic benefits for farmers by optimizing reproductive management.

· Nutritional and Metabolic Research (Glucose Tolerance in Rats): Contributes to diabetes research, promotes ethnopharmacological solutions from indigenous plants, and supports food security and sustainability through the exploration of local foods.

• Health and Nutrition Research: Several studies focus on medicinal plants and natural compounds for managing diseases (e.g., diabetes, obesity, liver diseases), highlighting the potential for natural, affordable treatments.
• Environmental and Public Health: The study on oil pollution reveals important insights into environmental health, helping inform policy and promote sustainability.
• Economic and Agricultural Development: Research on indigenous plants, such as okra seeds and Buchholzia coriacea, offers economic benefits by promoting local agriculture and biodiversity conservation.
• The research on Icacina trichantha tubers holds significant potential in the fight against tuberculosis, particularly in light of rising drug resistance. The identification of bioactive compounds, paired with in vitro antimycobacterial assays and in silico modeling, provides a promising avenue for drug discovery. The benefits extend beyond healthcare, fostering traditional medicine validation, economic development, and scientific advancements in natural product drug discovery. Ultimately, the study contributes to the global effort to find novel, effective treatments for TB, particularly in resource-limited settings where the disease burden is highest.
• Scientific Knowledge and Future Research: All studies contribute valuable knowledge to their respective fields, supporting future research and potential innovations in healthcare, environmental management, and nutrition.
