Aquaculture, also known as fish farming, is the controlled production and harvesting of aquatic organisms in various ecosystems. This includes a diverse range of aquatic organisms, including finfish, shellfish, amphibians, algae, and plants. Aquaculture contributes significantly to poverty reduction and natural resource conservation. Aquaculture makes a significant contribution to the global economy and food security. More than 5,00,000 fish and shell people are employed (full-time, part-time, or occasional), and an estimated 600 million people depend on fisheries and aquaculture for a living (FAO, 2022). Probiotics are defined asorganisms and substances that contribute to intestinal microbial balance" in their original definition. Probiotics were developed and applied in aquaculture for environmental and consumer health reasons. A probiotic is a bacterial supplement containing one or more cultures of specific non-pathogenic bacterial strains. Probiotics contain a diverse range of live microorganisms, such as yeasts, photosynthetic bacteria, lactic acid bacteria, and various Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria.

Biomimetic agents play a crucial role in reducing white spot lesions by mimicking the natural processes of enamel remineralization and repair. These agents are designed to enhance the tooth's natural ability to remineralize damaged enamel, thereby reversing early signs of decay and preventing the progression of white spot lesions. Biomimetic materials typically contain bioactive components such as calcium, phosphate, and fluoride, which are essential for remineralizing enamel and restoring its strength and integrity. By delivering these essential minerals directly to the tooth surface, biomimetic agents promote the formation of new hydroxyapatite crystals, the main mineral component of enamel, and help repair the demineralized areas. Additionally, biomimetic materials often have adhesive properties, allowing them to bond effectively to the tooth surface and provide long-lasting protection against further demineralization. Overall, the use of biomimetic agents in dental care represents an innovative approach to preventing and treating white spot lesions, offering patients a minimally invasive and effective solution for maintaining optimal oral health.

The treatment goal in the restoration of acquired palatal defects is to achieve normal function and appearance. Two categories of treatment are suggested: conventional prosthetic rehabilitation of a defect with an obturator prosthesis or surgical reconstruction of the defect. The obturator prosthesis continues to be the most common procedure for the rehabilitation of maxillectomy patients. Fabrication of obturator prostheses depends on the application of basic prosthodontic principles that are used in the treatment of patients without maxillary defects. Some principles must be modified because of the defect and the character and position of the remaining structures. The defect, in conjunction with the remaining structures, must be used to provide support, retention and stability of obturator prosthesis.

Since the return of multiparty politics in the Cameroonian political landscape in the 1990s, the people participate in elections to renew the mandate of their representatives both at the local and at the national level. The party in power the Cameroon People Democratic Movement (CPDM) has always come out with landslide victories in all the electoral consultations according to the official results from the electoral management bodies. However, the daily lives of the people are characterized by different forms of hardship ranging from socio-economic difficulties (unemployment, poverty, lack of basic social needs, and poor infrastructural development) to political challenges like corruption, bad governance, embezzlement of state funds and tribalism (greater autonomy in the two English speaking regions). This makes it difficult to corroborate the results of the elections and the daily lives claims of the people who continue to renew the mandate of the same representatives with the same political output. It is in this regard that we investigated on the motives behind the electoral results in Cameroon for the past 3 decades.
