This study was aimed at determining the effect of ethanol seed extract of Coriandrum sativum on kerosene mediated oxidative stress markers in Wistar rats fed with kerosene contaminated diet. C. sativum were bought, processed and extracted using ethanol and the extract was used in determination of phytochemical compositions, in vitro antioxidant properties and in treatment of rat feed with kerosene contaminated feed. Phytochemical compositions was determined using Gas Chromatography Flame Ionization Detection (GC-FID) while the in vitro antioxidants capacity was determined using 2,2 Diphenyl picryl hydrazyl radical, hydroxyl radical and ferric reducing antioxidant potential assays. Animal study was carried out using 43 rats separated in five groups. While group 1 and two were controls, group 3 was negative control (untreated) and groups 4 and 5 were treated groups. The acute toxicity was determined using lorke’s method while oxidative stress markers malondialdehyde (MDA), superoxide dismutase (SOD) and Catalase (CAT) were determined using biochemical standard methods after 28 days of administration of the extract. The result of the study showed that the most abundant phytochemicals present ranked in the order flavonones > Ribalinidine > Aphylidine > catechin > anthocynin > phytate and others while sapogenin was the least. In vitro antioxidant study showed that ethanol seed extract was able to inhibit the formation of DPPH radicals and quench hydroxyl radicals with effective concentration (EC50) of 1.25 and 1.35 respectively. While kerosene contaminated diet increased MDA in group 3 rats (untreated) compared to normal control (group 1), C. sativum extract decreased MDA in group 4 and 5. CAT activity in group 3 (untreated) was low compared to normal control while the extract increased CAT activities in groups 4 and 5. This findings revealed that seed extract of C. sativum is rich in antioxidant and therefore has mitigating effect on kerosene mediated oxidative stress.

Persistent Organic Pollutants (POPs), particularly polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) such as benzo(a)pyrene and naphthalene, disrupt inflammatory homeostasis and exacerbate oxidative stress. This study evaluated the synergistic effects of PAHs and hydrogen peroxide (H₂O₂)-induced oxidative stress on inflammatory markers in Wistar rats for four weeks (Batch one) and eight weeks (Batch two) exposure durations, alongside the ameliorative potential of vitamin C. Key markers analyzed included tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α), interleukin-6 (IL-6), interleukin-1 beta (IL-1β), and interleukin-10 (IL-10). In Batch one, H₂O₂-only exposure significantly elevated TNF-α (6690.62 ± 0.01 pg/mL), IL-6 (701.94 ± 0.01 pg/mL), and IL-1β (2679.39 ± 0.01 pg/mL) compared to the control group (3999.89 ± 0.01, 490.55 ± 0.01, and 1705.44 ± 0.01 pg/mL, respectively). Batch two results showed further increases, with TNF-α reaching 6900.83 ± 0.01 pg/mL and IL-6 rising to 725.21 ± 0.01 pg/mL, indicating cumulative inflammatory effects over time. High-dose H₂O₂ combined with PAHs elevated TNF-α from 3980.79 ± 0.01 pg/mL in Batch one to 4100.25 ± 0.01 pg/mL in Batch two. Vitamin C treatment further amplified TNF-α levels in both batches, peaking at 18340.93 ± 0.02 pg/mL in Batch one and 18750.23 ± 0.02 pg/mL in Batch two, while partially mitigating IL-6 and IL-10 levels. These findings underscore the complex interplay between oxidative stress, inflammation, and antioxidant dynamics under POP exposure. The progressive nature of inflammatory responses highlights the need for early intervention and the potential of combination therapies to mitigate environmental pollutant-induced inflammation.

Authors: Zhang Xian
Published: February 2025

This paper evaluates the impact of US-China trade war on bystander countries (untargeted by additional tariffs) by analysis of changes in import value of 9 taxed products from China and other 11 bystanders in the US from 2018 to 2019. The paper reveal incomplete substitution of Chinese imports on average after adoption of tariffs targeting China. The difference in value between decline of imports from China and aggregated growth of imports from other 11 countries are termed the gaps. The gaps are explained in four aspects: a) supply elasticity; b) heterogeneity across countries; c) global value chain; d) increased use of domestic products. In beneficiary-level, bystanders are divided into large beneficiaries, small beneficiaries and losers. This paper provides suggestions in firm-level, product-level and country-level to help bystanders take advantage of the trade war, which involve efficient reallocation of resources and transformations. Improved positions of countries except for the US and China contribute to both global economic growth and development and multi-polarization in the world.

Authors: Lei Ding , Ayob Adenan , Shaari Mohd Rain , Pratama Hendri
Published: February 2025

Physical education (PE) plays a crucial role in fostering the physical, cognitive, and social development of students, including those with intellectual disabilities (ID). In Malaysia, the effectiveness of PE programs for learners with ID remains a concern due to systemic challenges such as inadequate resources, insufficient teacher training, and curriculum gaps. This study evaluates the efficiency of PE programs in Malaysian primary schools for students with ID using Kirkpatrick’s evaluation model. A quantitative research approach with a descriptive survey design was employed to assess the teaching and learning process. The study involved 395 respondents, including teachers, administrators, and parents from 15 selected special needs public primary schools. A structured questionnaire assessed teacher competencies, resource availability, and program efficiency. Descriptive and inferential statistical analyses, including Pearson correlation, were conducted to evaluate the relationships between teacher-centered and learner-centered approaches and PE efficiency. Findings indicate that while current PE programs moderately benefit students with ID, significant gaps remain in accessibility, resource availability, and teaching effectiveness. Need-supportive teaching approaches—comprising teacher competence, autonomy, relatedness, and motivation—exhibited strong correlations with PE efficiency (r = .920, p < .001). The study also found that learner-centered approaches, particularly resource availability, had a higher impact on PE efficiency (r = .949, p < .001) than teacher-centered approaches. The study underscores the need for reforms in PE programs to enhance inclusivity and effectiveness. Strengthening teacher training, improving resource allocation, and adopting a balanced approach between teacher- and learner-centered strategies are crucial for optimizing PE outcomes. These findings provide valuable insights for policymakers and educators aiming to develop a more inclusive and effective PE curriculum for learners with ID.

Published: February 2025

This study, titled "The Geometric Alignment of Western Bypass, FCT, Abuja", focuses on the geometric improvement of the Western Bypass, a critical road in the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) of Abuja, Nigeria. The study involves tasks such as creating road alignment, plotting alignment profiles using coordinates (easting and northing), analyzing cross-sections and elevations, and conducting various analyses to select the optimal alignment while adhering to design standards. Geometric Alignment in highway engineering enhances road safety, traffic efficiency, and overall performance. However, manual geometric design is often inconvenient, time-consuming, and prone to costly errors.
The Western By-Pass, a bituminous road, has experienced significant deterioration due to constraints such as traffic growth, inadequate geometric features, and environmental conditions. This has led to discomfort, safety concerns, and increased accidents. The primary goal of this research is to propose an improved geometric alignment that optimizes safety, efficiency, and comfort while minimizing environmental impact. The study evaluates existing road conditions, assesses traffic volume and speed variations, and proposes geometric improvements such as shoulder widths, lane widths, and horizontal and vertical alignment.
The research methodology includes the use of computer-aided design (CAD) software such as AutoCAD Civil 3D, Blender, and Revit to ensure precision and efficiency in the design process. The findings of this study are crucial for improving the socio-economic development of the FCT by enhancing road safety and traffic flow. The specific objectives of the research include determining the existing highway capacity, speed variations, and traffic volume, and proposing a geometric alignment that adheres to national design standards. The existing road spans 5.8km and has a design speed of 68km/h. The study evaluated the roads the roads' horizontal and vertical alignments, cross sections, and other geometric features to ensure smooth directional changes and improved traffic flow. The analysis included calculating cumulative cut volume, filled volume, and net volume to assess the road's current condition and propose necessary improvements. The findings aim to optimize the roads' performance, minimize environmental impact, and ensure more efficient transportation for users.

The Impact of the Indo-Pacific Economic Framework on China and Its Response
Authors: Li Jinyuan
Published: February 2025

The "Indo Pacific Economic Framework" (IPEF) is the economic pillar established by the Biden government for the "Indo Pacific Strategy. It aims to complement the weaknesses of the U.S. economic strategy in the Indo Pacific region, strengthen ties with other countries, and has a clear tendency of anti Chinese, aiming to create a "new economic order in Indo Pacific" that excludes China. Due to various constraints, the effectiveness of the Indo Pacific economic framework has yet to be evaluated. By examining the main contents of the current IPEF, this paper compares it with other existing regional free trade agreements (FTA), analyzes the impact of IPEF on the political and economic situation of the entire Indo Pacific region, and discusses how China can better respond to the "containment" of IPEF and minimize the negative impact.
