Abstract

Background: Benzopyrene (B[a]P), a polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon, is known for its carcinogenic and immunotoxic effects, posing significant health risks upon exposure. Specific Background: Despite numerous studies, effective therapeutic strategies to mitigate B[a]P-induced toxicity remain limited. Star anise, a medicinal plant with anti-inflammatory properties, holds potential as a protective agent against such toxicity. Knowledge Gap: The impact of star anise on B[a]P-induced immunotoxicity, particularly on hematological parameters, has not been thoroughly investigated. Aims: This study aimed to explore the effects of B[a]P intoxication and its treatment with star anise on hematological parameters in rats. Methods: Thirty male Sprague Dawley rats were divided into six groups: Control, B[a]P, and varying doses of star anise (125 mg/kg, 120 mg/kg + B[a]P, 125 mg/kg + B[a]P, 130 mg/kg + B[a]P). Blood samples were analyzed using an auto blood analyzer. Results: While erythrogram parameters showed no significant differences among groups, B[a]P exposure significantly increased WBC parameters (Mid, Gran, L, and total WBC counts), indicating an inflammatory and immunosuppressive response. Treatment with star anise significantly reduced these parameters, suggesting its protective effects. Novelty: This study is the first to demonstrate the efficacy of star anise in mitigating B[a]P-induced leukocytosis and immune toxicity in rats. Implications: These findings highlight the potential of star anise as a therapeutic agent against B[a]P-induced immunotoxicity, warranting further investigation into its clinical applications. Highlights: Benzopyrene Exposure: Increases WBC parameters, indicating immune response. Star Anise Treatment: Reduces WBC counts, showing protective effects. Novel Findings: Star anise mitigates B[a]P-induced immunotoxicity in rats. Keywords: Benzopyrene, Star Anise, Hematological Parameters, Immunotoxicity, Rats

Abstract

General Background: Academic stress represents a significant psychological challenge among adolescents facing increasing educational demands and performance expectations. Specific Background: Psychosocial resources such as social support, resilience, and self-esteem are considered important internal and external factors associated with students’ ability to manage academic pressure, particularly among high-achieving students who encounter intensified academic and performance demands. Knowledge Gap: Although previous studies have examined these variables separately, limited research has analyzed their combined relationships and mediating mechanisms within a single empirical model focusing on high-achieving students. Aims: This study aimed to examine the relationships between social support, resilience, self-esteem, and academic stress, and to analyze the mediating role of self-esteem among high-achieving students. Results: Using a quantitative correlational design with 200 students and multiple regression analysis, findings revealed significant negative relationships between social support, resilience, and self-esteem with academic stress. Self-esteem demonstrated the strongest correlation with academic stress, while social support showed the lowest correlation. The regression model explained 43.1% of the variance in academic stress, indicating that higher levels of psychosocial resources were associated with lower stress levels. Novelty: This study integrates social support, resilience, and self-esteem within a single analytical framework and empirically confirms the mediating role of self-esteem in explaining academic stress among high-achieving students. Implications: The findings suggest that strengthening psychosocial resources, particularly self-esteem alongside supportive environments and resilience development, may contribute to healthier learning conditions and improved student psychological well-being. Highlights: Psychological Resources Jointly Accounted for 43.1% Variance in Student Pressure Levels. Confidence-Related Factors Showed the Strongest Statistical Association With Reduced Strain. Combined Psychosocial Variables Demonstrated Significant Simultaneous Relationships With Learner Tension. Keywords: Academic Stres, Social Support, Resilience, Self-Esteem, High-Achieving Students

Abstract

General Background: The rapid growth of social media use in the digital era has intensified psychological phenomena among university students, including fear of missing out (FoMO), which is associated with continuous online engagement and emotional responses to social information. Specific Background: Self-control is considered an important psychological capacity that enables individuals to regulate behavior, interpret stimuli, and manage social media usage to prevent excessive engagement. Knowledge Gap: Previous studies have reported inconsistent findings regarding the association between self-control and FoMO, particularly within university student populations, indicating the need for empirical clarification. Aims: This study aimed to examine the relationship between self-control and fear of missing out among FPIP students at Muhammadiyah University of Sidoarjo. Results: Using a quantitative correlational design involving 213 students, data were collected through validated self-control and FoMO scales and analyzed using a non-parametric correlation test with IBM SPSS Statistics 29. The findings showed a correlation coefficient of −0.176 with a significance value of 0.010 > 0.05, indicating no significant relationship between self-control and FoMO. Novelty: The study provides empirical evidence demonstrating the absence of a statistically significant association between self-control and FoMO within the examined student context, contributing to ongoing academic debate regarding psychological predictors of FoMO. Implications: These findings suggest that FoMO among university students may involve factors beyond self-control alone and highlight the importance of promoting balanced social media use and behavioral regulation strategies in higher education settings. Highlights: Statistical Testing Revealed a Non-Significant Association Between the Examined Psychological Variables. Student Participants Displayed Measurable FOMO Characteristics Despite Varying Regulatory Abilities. Empirical Evidence Contributes to Mixed Research Outcomes Reported in Prior Student-Based Studies. Keywords: Self-Control, Fear of Missing Out, University Students, Social Media Behavior, Quantitative Correlational Study
