Climate Change and Economic Instability in Nigeria
Authors: Esosuakpo Evelyn E.
Published: February 2025

Climate change poses to be a serious problem to different nations of the world especially developing nations like Nigeria. This change in climate leads to several changes in the environment. These various changes have direct and underlying effects on the economy of a nation and its sustainable development. Thus, the main objective of the study is assessing the impact of climate change on economic instability in Nigeria and also proffer ways to reduce its impacts and ensure sustainable development in the nation. The study employed meteorological data (mean annual rainfall and surface temperature) for 30 years (1994-2023) and economic data on GDP growth rate and inflation rate for 30 years also. Retrospective research was conducted, and archival data were collected for climate from Climatic Research Unit Gridded time series (CRU TS) version 4, while the economic data were collected from World Development Indicator (WDI) and Food and Agricultural Organization of the United Nations. Multiple regression analysis and time-series analysis with ARIMA modelling was employed. The results showed that while temperature increases are associated with minor GDP growth, they have negative effect on inflation, suggesting that higher temperatures can lower inflation rates. Variability in rainfall on the other hand has a modest negative effect on GDP but it does not significantly affect inflation. The findings indicates that climate change contributes to economic instability, with rising temperature and fluctuating rainfall patterns influencing inflationary pressures and productivity. Notably, the data underscores the need for comprehensive policy responses to mitigate climate-related economic disruptions. The research also points to the importance of further refining models to enhance the accuracy of climate-economic predictions and to account for the complexities of Nigeria’s diverse climate and economic landscape.

Citrus nutrition in India-A snapshot of up-to-date progress
Authors: SHARMA L. DEVARISHI
Published: February 2025

Citrus is a nutrient-loving, responsive plant requiring sufficient nutrient for proper growth and
development. Most citrus sites have shown several nutrient deficiencies – the most common being N, P, K, Mn,
and Zn. Pedologiacl variation in soil type plays an essential role in both production and quality regulation
through variable plant nutrient supply system. The availability of soil and leaf nutrient guidelines for a specific
soil, climate and cultivar are preconditions for effective management of nutrients in citrus fruits. High citrus
productivity is achievable only when the nutrient fertilization programme is performed based on soil or leaf
analysis. Fertigation has many benefits such as increasing the efficiency of fertilizer usage, ensuring water and
nutrient supply, human resource-saving, yield and quality. Application of fertilizer on foliarshows a better result
than the use of traditional soil fertilizer application. Annually, a substantial quantity of nutrients is removed by
the citrus fruits, and these must be restocked to preserve soil fertility and sustain the long term productivity,
besides arresting an early citrusdecline due to nutrient starvation.
Enhancement of physiological and biochemical attributes of low vigour brinjal (Solanum melongena L.) seeds through various priming treatments
Authors: KAUR JAPNEET
Published: February 2025

Brinjal (Solanum melongena L.) seeds are known to undergo loss of vigour and viability. Hence, the
present study was conducted on brinjal var. Punjab nagina to assess its seed viability and vigour. The freshly
harvested seeds were divided into two groups. In order to study the effect of various priming treatments one
group was converted to a low vigour by exposing the seeds to accelerated ageing, whereas the other group
retained as high vigour. Both these groups were subjected to priming with KNO3, KH2PO4, GA3, and PEG. The
seeds were then kept in moisture-proof packets and stored in a refrigerator for 12 months at 4OC. The seeds
were drawn after zero, three, six, nine, and twelve months of storage and total soluble sugars, total soluble
proteins, α-amylase activity, starch content and total free amino acids were estimated. The biochemical attributes
of seed quality declined as the storage duration increased in both high and low vigour seeds. Priming treatments
significantly enhanced the physiological and biochemical attributes in both high and low vigour seeds although
the degree of improvement varied. Even after being stored for one year, in the seeds primed with GA3 (100 ppm)
and KNO3 (1%) the quality parameters were at par to or higher than the seeds that were not subjected to any
storage. Hence, employing GA3 and KNO3 priming for 12 hours is suggested to enhance the quality of brinjal
seeds and improve their storage longevity.

The experiment was conducted to analyze the genotypic and phenotypic correlations and path
coefficients among various traits in drumstick (Moringa oleifera L.) using 37 genotypes at the Mudhipar farm of
D.K.S. College of Agriculture and Research Station, Bhatapara, during 2021-22. The experiment followed a
Randomized Block Design (RBD) with three replications. Observations were recorded for plant height, stem
thickness, number of primary branches per plant, length of leaf rachis, number of leaves per rachis, leaf length,
number of inflorescences per plant, number of flowers per inflorescence, number of pods per inflorescence,
number of pods per plant, marketable pod length, pod girth, number of seeds per pod, marketable pod weight,
and marketable pod yield per plant. The genotypic and phenotypic correlations were determined using Miller et
al. (1958) methodology, while path coefficient analysis was employed to understand the direct and indirect
effects of these traits on marketable pod yield. Results revealed that Marketable pod weight (g), Number of
pods per plant and number of inflorescences per plant exhibited significant positive correlations with marketable
pod yield. Path coefficient analysis indicated that the number of pods per plant had the highest positive direct
effect on marketable pod yield, followed by marketable pod weight and number of seeds per pod. These
findings suggest key traits for selection in breeding programs aimed at improving marketable pod yield in
drumstick.

through its Hypocotyl: Anthocyanin colour; identification of HUM-1 and IGKM 2021-2 could be made through
Deltoid leaflet shape and Greenish Purple Leaf: Vein colour respectively; and HUM-16 through its long
peduncle length. HUM-16 is having Mottled seed colour, however TRM-146 showed oval seed shape. The
comprehensive analysis of the data revealed distinct morphological characteristics for the majority of the
genotypes examined. This dataset, encompassing 19 qualitative traits, holds significance in identifying and
selecting diverse germplasm. Thus, the DUS descriptor data generated with unique profiles of the elite
improved lines can be used for the registration with PPV & FRA and seed purity testing.
Changes in the patterns of crop diversification in Haryana
Authors: CHAHAL DISHA
Published: February 2025

Crop diversification refers to the practice of cultivating a variety of crops on the same land over time or
across a landscape. It's a move away from monoculture, where a single crop dominates a field or agricultural
region. Recognizing the shifts in crop diversification trends through time and across different regions equips
stakeholders with the knowledge to foster an agricultural system that is sustainable, robust, and fair. In the
present study, the patterns of crop diversification analysed for the years 2011, 2015, and 2021. The variations
in crop diversification patterns scrutinized for two distinct periods: from 2011 to 2015, and subsequently from
2015 to 2021. Gibb’s-Martin Index is used to calculate the crop diversification index at the district level. The
percentage of moderate districts in all the three years of analysis, that is, 2011, 2015 and 2021 is highest in
Gibbs Martin Index, which is followed by low districts and high districts respectively. The high positive change in
the Gibbs Martin Index is observed followed by negative change and no change respectively between the years
2011 and 2015, and 2015 and 2021. The findings indicate a substantial potential for expanding crop
diversification initiatives in Haryana.

Authors: Muresia Benedict W. , Njagi Eliud N.M , Ngeranwa Joseph JN
Published: February 2025

Purpose: Wounds are injuries which arise when the structural continuity of a tissue is physically disrupted. It has been established scientifically that plants produce metabolites which potentially accelerate wound healing. Approximately 80% of human population globally, according to WHO, use phytoextracts that have not been scientifically accredited as medicines. This research focused on establishing in vivo the efficacy of lyophilized aqueous extracts of A. oleracea in enhancing cutaneous wound healing in Mus musculus, male albino mice.
Methodology: Acmella oleracea plants identified and confirmed by taxonomists were collected from their undisturbed natural ecosystem, dried under the shade and ground to powder using a mill. Extraction of phytoextracts was done by infusion which involved the addition of 500g of the powder to 4 liters of distilled water and maintaining the mixture at 600C for 6 hours. The mixture was filtered, concentrated, lyophilized and stored in lightproof plastic bags at -100C for bioassays. The extracts were assayed for their activity in the excision wound repair paradigm. Mineral ion constitution of the extracts was analyzed using TXFR technique. The presence of phytochemical composition was established using standard procedures. The animals were put into five groups, each consisting of five mice. Group A, a negative control, was given physiological saline. Group B, a positive control, was treated with a standard drug Flucloxacillin at a therapeutic dose of 40 mg/kg and groups C, D and E with test phytoextracts at therapeutic doses 50, 95 and 300mg/kg body weight respectively. This was done systemically via oral routes for 21 days. Statistical analyses were done by ANOVA followed by Tukey HSD post hoc test. P≤0.05 was considered statistically significant.
Findings: Lyophilized extracts significantly accelerated wound contraction in the first five days post wounding with respect to the negative physiological saline control doses. Results from TXFR revealed the presence of mineral elements like magnesium that enhance wound healing. Phytochemical analysis results revealed the presence of the metabolites flavonoids, tannins, phenols, alkaloids and saponins in varying concentrations.
Unique Contribution to Theory, Practice and Policy: In conclusion, the extracts demonstrated wound healing potential which would be attributed to the presence phytochemicals and mineral ions in the phytoextracts. This research therefore recommends the sustained use of these plant extracts for wound healing purposes.

Published: February 2025

The article analyzes the current political situation in Afghanistan, the rise of the Taliban, the emergence of ISIS in Afghanistan and the activation of al-Qaeda, the mass infiltration of ISIS-linked militants into Afghanistan. The article discusses the ideological basis of the extremist organization of the Taliban. The analysis shows that the Taliban ideology is based on the fundamentalist theories of the Deobandi school and the radical views of the Tablighi Jamaat movement.
The stages of the study in our article cover the history of the creation of the Taliban and the scale of the seizure of Afghanistan and its rise to power as an organization. Our article used various scientific analysis, description, comparison, forecasting, comparative-historical method system and historical approach, content analysis, which allowed us to analyze in detail the most important processes and trends in the modern history of the situation in Afghanistan.
 Such issues will become the main ones in the near future, and it is quite possible that the internal situation of Afghans will remain secondary, or it will become a derivative of international topics, which will determine the specifics of the approach to the development of events in Afghanistan. There is an opinion that the main role in the problem of Afghanistan is played by external actors. It is possible that in the near future the Talibs will become not only the main subject of the state, but also independent in their own way. This may decide what the international aspect of events in Afghanistan will be. At the same time, what is happening adds a new exclamation to the discussion about the basis of modern international relations, especially regarding the interaction of large powers with small and medium-sized states.

КИТАЙСКО-АМЕРИКАНСКИЕ ОТНОШЕНИЯ В ЦЕНТРАЛЬНОЙ АЗИИ
Authors: Туртугулова Д.М. , Ли Синьвэй
Published: February 2025

В статье рассматривается геополитическая ситуация в регионе Центральной Азии, которая претерпела значительную эволюцию, начиная с американско-китайской торговой войны, пандемии, до военного конфликта в Украине и ужесточения санкций в отношении России. Особый акцент делается на возможные пересечения интересов крупных внешних игроков, как США, Россия и Китай, а также внутриполитические изменения, происходящие в наиболее крупных странах региона – Казахстане и Узбекистане.
В статье отмечается, что государства Центральной Азии, декларирующие себя идеологически однородными в отношении приверженности идеалам демократии, имеют целые группы противоречий: а разные уровни экономического развития, национального и государственного строительства мало способствуют духу устойчивого и подлинного сотрудничества среди стран региона. Несговорчивость политических лидеров между собой, чревато доминированием интересов третьих стран в регионе.
Существующие публикации на тему американско-центральноазиатских и китайско-центральноазиатских отношений, как правило, ограничиваются обсуждением вопросов энергетики и безопасности, и в основном представляют точки зрения авторов из США, России и Китая. Соответственно, они не рассматривают возможные риски для региона, а больше озабочены интересами перечисленных держав. Цель статьи – пополнить ряды публикаций на тему геополитических интересов мировых игроков в регионе, а также рисков для самого региона, выразив точку зрения казахстанских исследователей на положение вещей. В статье использован метод сортировки разнообразных данных при изучении внешней политики и экономических отношений государств. Работа основана на качественном методе анализа данных с применением системного подхода и принципа объективности.

The purpose of this research is to find the political factors behind the collapse of the 20-year-old republican system in Afghanistan.
       In the framework of this research, it will be found that the Afghan republic system, which was in power in Afghanistan from 2001 to 2021, collapsed on the basis of a number of domestic and foreign political factors. Differences between politicians, seeing the conflict as a business, prejudice, low level of knowledge of the people, prioritizing personal interests instead of national interests by the rulers, indifference of the president and the alternative of the West. These include not making efforts, giving power to an incompetent constituency, not working to strengthen the government system, tyranny and incompetence of the central government. The external political factors of the collapse include the role of Pakistan and the United States. The United States had two faces in Afghanistan; On the one hand, he supported the ruling system politically, economically and militarily, but on the other hand, he did not allow the political system to strengthen and self-establish itself due to its illegal interference. On the other hand, he practically provided the conditions for the downfall of this political system, he negotiated with the Taliban under the protection of the Republic of Afghanistan and signed an agreement with them, as a result of which he withdrew his support for the republican system, the republic collapsed and The Taliban took over. Throughout its history, Pakistan has pursued a policy of interference and chaos in Afghanistan, and in this 20-year period, it had provided all the facilities to the Taliban in its territory, so that the political system in Afghanistan would be restored. It may not be stable or it may be thrown away. In this research, the answer to this question has been given, which political factors caused the collapse of the Republic of Afghanistan in 2021. Using the descriptive and analytical method, an attempt has been made to examine the hypothesis of how these factors caused the collapse.
