Colonial Roots of the Contemporary Economic Crisis in Subsaharan Africa (SSA): The Case of Nigeria and Tanzania
Authors: Ishamali Isaac , Adie Clement Undiandeye
Published: February 2024

Tanzania is a low-income oil-importing developing country, with characteristics that typify the vulnerability of a Third World economy, with external debt payment crisis. Nigeria on the other hand, is a mineral-rich oil-exporting country also enmeshed in debt crisis. Sadly, Nigeria has been the region’s largest borrower. Both countries have different economic development strategies. While Tanzania with initial socialist bent, capitulated to the conditionalities of multilateral agencies, Nigeria on the other hand followed the path of a mixed economy and later reverted to the capitalist economic mode. This discourse examines the colonial roots of the economic crisis in both Nigeria and Tanzania. The study also x-rays the impacts of British colonial administration on Nigeria and Tanzania, and the political and economic systems that evolved in these colonies. The work found out that the imposition of indirect rule, which meant the superimposition of the colonial method of government on the various indigenous emirates, kingdoms, and tribal chieftaincies in Nigeria and Tanzania was for economic exploitation. The work submits that the underlying motive of colonialism was to ensure the effective and unchallenged exploitation of the colonies for the benefit of British capitalists, and the indirect rule system was intended as the best way to accomplish this end. This exploitation has however continued unabetted into the present-day neo-colonial exploitation aided by both Nigerian and Tanzanian collaborators.
Exploring Theological and Biblical perspectives on wealth and poverty
Authors: Boaheng Isaac , Boateng Alexander Kwasi , Boaheng Samuel
Published: February 2024

The subject of wealth and poverty is one of the major themes in the JudeoChristian Scriptures. The continent of Africa is one of the regions hugely affected by poverty. As such, there is an ongoing discourse about the biblical view of wealth and how it may be used in tackling the canker of poverty. At one breath, our contemporary materialistic culture is seducing Christians to accept the idea that poverty is a curse from God, whilst on the other extreme, wealth is viewed as an impediment to entering the kingdom of God. While a complete eradication of poverty remains a formidable challenge, particularly in vulnerable contexts, there exists an opportunity for more concerted efforts to alleviate the plight of the impoverished. As a contribution to the scholarly discourse, this paper examined what the Bible reveals about wealth and poverty and made relevant theological deductions for African church in dealing with wealth and poverty. This is timely against the backdrop that the “centre of gravity” of Christianity is in Africa which makes it befitting to address the menace of poverty from the biblical standpoint. The paper conducted a theological study of relevant biblical passages. The fact that one’s wealth does not necessarily indicate their acceptance by God and the need to share material resources were emphasized. Though the authors had the African continent in mind, the paper also applies to other contexts which share Africa’s socio-economic realities.

Published: February 2024

The main problem examined in this research is the development of river transportation during the Banjarese era, the research results show that rivers are part of people's lives the city Banjarmasin, but currently the use of rivers as water transportation infrastructure appears be decreasing. Community activities in Banjarmasin City tend to shift to using land transportation. Apart from that, the lack of attention and participation by government, private sector and society in the field of river transportation has resulted river transportation being unable to compete with land transportation. As a city that has many rivers, almost all aspects of people's lives in Banjarmasin depend on rivers, both for daily activities and for economic activities. Not only that, there are even many community beliefs and traditions related to rivers. Therefore, it is not an exaggeration to say that river culture part of the life of the people of Banjarmasin. The existence of many rivers in the middle of city also encourages people to develop each area. And of is the : methode used this Is research uses historical methode throughted the Heuristic stage (data collection), internal and external criticism of the data obtained, interpretation and historiography of historical writing based on the data that has been obtained according to the researcher's objectives. The novelty of this research is that previous research did not specifically discuss the development of river transportation in the past in Banjarese society, most of which only revealed the history and phenomena, this made the researcher try to make this article specific.

Published: February 2024

The functionalization of light-emitting triarylmethyl radicals with electron donating moieties can significantly increase their photoluminescence quantum yield . As luminophores in light-emitting diodes, such open-shell radicals can be used to overcome the problem of spin-statistics inherent to conventional closed-shell emitters. However, so far the functionalization of triarylmethyl radicals with donors of varying strength has been limited by the restricted reactivity of the triarylmethyl radical, constraining optimization of performance to empirical trial and error approaches. Here, we make use of the reliable reactivity of N-heterocyclic donors in radical-mediated aromatic substitutions, allowing us to systematically investigate the effect of donor strength on the emission characteristics of triarylmethyl radicals. As a single descriptor proxy to the donor strength, we employ the ionization energy IE of the donor moiety determined by density functional theory calculations. A systematic bathochromic shift of the emission wavelength \lambda_max is observed for increasing donor strength, while maximum \phi values are obtained for medium-strength donors. We rationalize these effects with a simple model based on the Marcus theory supported by quantum chemical calculations and electron paramagnetic resonance. This allows us to understand the effect of the donor strength on both \lambda_max and \phi, enabling the design of improved light-emitting radicals in the future.
Origin of dendrite branching in solid-state batteries

Published: February 2024

The growth of lithium dendrites in solid electrolytes is a major concern in battery technology, as it often leads to material fractures, undermining device integrity and safety. Despite its significance, the mechanisms driving this process at the microscopic level remain poorly understood. This study employs advanced Dark Field X-ray Microscopy to unravel these mechanisms within a Li6.5La3Zr1.5Ta0.5O12 single-crystal electrolyte. We provide high-resolution insights into strain patterns and lattice orientation changes associated with dendrite growth. Remarkably, we report the unprecedented observation of dislocations in the immediate vicinity of dendrite tips, including one instance where a dislocation is anchored directly to a tip. This is a rare occurrence in single-crystalline ceramics and suggests a novel interplay between dendrite proliferation and dislocation formation. We hypothesize that the mechanical stress induced by dendrite expansion triggers dislocation generation. These dislocations seem to influence the fracture process, potentially influencing the directional growth and branching observed in dendrites. Our findings offer a breakthrough in understanding the microstructural dynamics of dendrite growth, providing a critical foundation for improving battery performance and safety.

Authors: Bai Wei , Tian Qi , Fu Xinyao , Qin Anjun , Tang Ben Zhong
Published: February 2024

As a new class of crystalline porous organic polymer materials, covalent organic frameworks (COFs) have permanent porosity and broad application prospects. The synthesis of COFs has strict requirements for both the reaction equations and the reaction conditions. Therefore, it is critical for researchers to develop new, scalable synthetic reactions. In this work, for the first time, we report an in-situ synthetic strategy toward COFs via the amino-yne click polymerization by taking advantage of its produced dynamic beta-ketoenamine bond. This strategry also enjoys the advantages of high efficiency and atomic economy. The crystallinity and BET measurements indicated that the resultant COFs have excellent crystallinity and high porosity. Thus, this work not only provides a new strategy for the rapid preparation of COFs with excellent atom economy, but also enriches their family.
High Molar Mass Polycarbonates as Closed-Loop Recyclable Thermoplastics
Authors: Rosetto Gloria , Vidal Fernando , McGuire Thomas M. , Kerr Ryan W. F. , Williams Charlotte K.
Published: February 2024

Using carbon dioxide (CO2) to make recyclable thermoplastics could reduce greenhouse gas emissions associated with polymer manufacturing. CO2/cyclic epoxide ring-opening copolymerization (ROCOP) allows for >30 wt% of the polycarbonate to derive from CO2; so far, the field has largely focused on oligocarbonates. In contrast, efficient catalysts for high molar mass polycarbonates are under-investigated and the resulting thermoplastic structure-property relationships, processing and recycling need to be elucidated. This work describes a new organometallic Mg(II)Co(II) catalyst that combines high productivity, low loading tolerance, the highest polymerization control and yields polycarbonates with Mn values from 4-130 kg mol-1, with narrow, monomodal distributions. It is used in the ROCOP of CO2 with bicyclic epoxides to produce a series of samples, each with Mn>100 kg mol-1, of poly(cyclohexene carbonate) (PCHC), poly(vinyl-cyclohexene carbonate) (PvCHC), poly(ethyl-cyclohexene carbonate) (PeCHC, by hydrogenation of PvCHC) and poly(cyclopentene carbonate) (PCPC). All these materials are amorphous thermoplastics, with high glass transition temperatures (85 < Tg < 126 °C, by DSC) and high thermal stability (Td > 260 °C). The cyclic ring substituents mediate the materials’ chain entanglements, viscosity, and glass transition temperatures. Specifically, PCPC was found to have 10x lower entanglement Mn and 100x lower zero-shear viscosity compared to PCHC, showing potential as a future thermoplastic. All these high molecular weight polymers are fully recyclable, either by re-processing or by using the Mg(II)Co(II) catalyst for highly selective depolymerizations to epoxides and CO2. PCPC shows the fastest depolymerization rates, achieving an activity of 2500 h-1 and >99% selectivity for cyclopentene oxide and CO2.

Published: February 2024

SHP2, a pivotal component downstream of both receptor and non-receptor tyrosine kinases, has been underscored in the progression of various human cancers and neurodevelopmental disorders. Allosteric inhibitors have been proposed to regulate its autoinhibition. However, oncogenic mutations, such as E76K, convert SHP2 into its open state, wherein the catalytic cleft becomes fully exposed to its ligands. This study elucidates the dynamic properties of SHP2 structures across different states, with a focus on the effects of oncogenic mutation on two known binding sites of allosteric inhibitors. Through extensive modeling and simulations, we further identified an alternative allosteric binding pocket in solution structures. Additional analysis provides insights into the dynamics and stability of the potential site. In addition, multi-tier screening was deployed to identify potential binders targeting the potential site. Our efforts to identify a new allosteric site contribute to community-wide initiatives developing therapies using multiple allosteric inhibitors to target distinct pockets on SHP2, in the hope of potentially inhibiting or slowing tumor growth associated with SHP2.
Photoelectron Imaging Signature for Selective Formation of Icosahedral Anionic Silver Cages Encapsulating Group 5 Elements: M@Ag12− (M = V, Nb, and Ta)

Published: February 2024

An assembly of thirteen atoms can build up highly symmetric architectures like those belonging to D3h, Oh, D5h, and Ih point groups. However, an intuitive experimental signature that reveals their structural symmetries has been difficult to obtain. Here, using photoelectron imaging spectroscopy in combination with density functional theory calculations, we present simple yet convincing evidence for selective formation of icosahedral cages in anionic silver clusters encapsulating a dopant atom of group 5 elements: M@Ag12− (M = V, Nb, and Ta). Their photoelectron images obtained at 4 eV closely resemble one another: only a single ring is observed, which is assignable to photodetachment signals from a five-fold degenerate superatomic 1D electronic shell in the 1S21P61D10 configuration of valence electrons. The perfect degeneracy of the 1D orbital represents an unambiguous fingerprint of an icosahedral symmetry, which would otherwise be lifted in all the other possible structural isomers.

Authors: Day Rachel Elizabeth , Emerson Ethan , Bell Clay , Zimmerle Daniel
Published: February 2024

This study evaluated multiple commercially available continuous monitoring (CM) point sensor network (PSN) solutions under single-blind controlled release testing conducted at operational upstream and midstream oil and natural gas (O&G) sites. During releases, PSNs reported site-level emission rate estimates of 0 kg/h between 38-86% of the time. When non-zero site-level emission rate estimates were provided, no linear correlation between release rate and reported emission rate estimate was observed. The average, aggregated across all PSN solutions during releases, shows 5% of mixing ratio readings at downwind sensors were greater than the site's baseline plus two standard deviations. Four of six total PSN solutions tested during this field campaign provided site-level emission rate estimates with the site average relative error ranging from -100% to 24% for solution D, -100% to -43% for solution E, -25% for solution F (solution F was only at one site), and -99% to 430% for solution G, with an overall average of -29% across all sites and solutions. Of all the individual site-level emission rate estimates, only 11% were within +/- 2.5 kg/h of the study team's best estimate of site-level emissions at the time of the releases.
Terahertz Spectroscopy Unambiguously Determines the Orientation of Guest Water Molecules in a Structurally Elusive Metal-Organic Framework
Authors: Ajibade Saheed , Catalano Luca , Kolbel Johanna , Mittleman Daniel , Ruggiero Michael
Published: February 2024

Porous materials, particularly metal-organic frameworks (MOFs), hold great promise for ad- vanced applications, with one of the most exciting being passive water harvesting. In order to realize such goals, it is crucial to understand in detail the structures of these host-guest com- plexes. MIL-53(Al) is an exceptionally well-studied MOF, which exhibits a phase transition upon guest capture – in this case, water – resulting in a dramatic change in the pore volume. Despite extensive studies, the structure of the water-loaded narrow-pore phase, MIL-53(Al)-np remains controversial, particularly with respect to the positions of the adsorbed water molecules within the framework. We use terahertz (THz) spectroscopy, coupled with powder X-ray diffraction (PXRD) and density functional theory simulations, to unambiguously resolve this controversy. We show that the low frequency (< 100 cm−1) vibrational spectrum depends on weak long-range forces, which are extremely sensitive to the orientation of the adsorbed water molecules. This enables us to definitively determine the correct structure of MIL-53(Al)-np, while highlighting the extreme sensitivity of THz spectroscopy to the bulk structure of porous crystals, suggesting its potential as a robust complement to X-ray diffraction for precise characterization of host-guest complexes.
How Molecular Orientation Affects the Static Permittivity Profile of the Polar and Nonpolar Liquid-Liquid Interface
Authors: LIU ZHU
Published: February 2024

The dielectric permittivity across the liquid-liquid interface presents an intrinsic response with respect to the instantaneous interface reference. We hypothesize that dielectric responses across the nonpolar and polar liquid-liquid interfaces have different behaviors and with different underlying mechanisms. Molecular dynamics simulations were used to compare and contrast the dielectric response of a nonpolar (1,2-dichloroethane/water) and polar (1-octanol/water) liquid-liquid interface system. We found that enhanced dielectric permittivity at the nonpolar interface is attributed to the increased water dipole orientation and polarization density. In the case of the polar interface, strong association of the immiscible solvents inhibit the molecular dipole orientation, counteracting the effect from the enhanced surface water polarization density and resulting in a standard dielectric response. Detailed knowledge of the hydrogen bond networks and molecular dipole orientation with respect to the specific instantaneous interfacial and bulk regions reveals the effect of molecular proximity and the interaction with the opposing interfacial molecules upon the mechanism of the dielectric permittivity response across the liquid-liquid interface phase boundary.

Vernal keratoconjunctivitis VKC is an allergic disease that typically affects young individuals with male predominance. Greater prevalence of VKC is seen in the regions with hoter humid climate and higher load of airborne allergens. Clinically it is characterized by presence of papillary hypertrophy of the palpebral conjunctiva mucous discharge and other symptoms. Patients with VKC experience significant morbidity which affects the quality of life. This is managed extensive use of topical and systemic corticosteroids which gives temporary suppression of inflammation. This condition can be correlated to sannipataja abhishyanda vata pradhana explained under sarvagata netra roga which is characterized by nistoda sangharsha bhashpa samucchraya upadeha kandu guruta daha prapaka.1 This study is a presentation of two cases of VKC treated in SJGAMC Hospital Koppal. Though sanniapataja abhishyanda is vyadhanasadhya we adopted kriyakalpa in managing this condition by seka of triphalayastimadhuharidra kashaya for 7 days. Both patients presented with heaviness of eyes redness itching foreign body sensation watering of eyes and photophobia these symptoms were relieved markedly after 7 days of treatment. The drugs used for seka possess properties like tridosha shamaka chakshushya and rasayana which act as anti-inflammatory anti-allergic and immunomodulator to relive the condition. Hence sanniapataja abhishyanda VKC can be managed by Seka Kriyakalapa in early stage of the disease.

Sheetapitta udarda and kota are the three clinical conditionsmentioned in the same chapter in various classical texts.Most of the signs and symptoms of sheetapitta and udardaare similar and even kotapresents with similar type of lesions. Hence for deeper understanding and interpretationudarda and kota can be grossly considered as variants of sheetapitta. The signs and symptoms of sheetapitta correlates with the signs and symptoms of urticaria. Urticaria is a vascular reaction of the skin characterized by the appearance of wheals generally surrounded by a red halo or flare and associated with sever itching stinging or pricking sensation1.Again urticarial presentations vary in cases of angioedema dermographic urticaria eosinophilic urticaria and cholinergic urticaria which are all the variants of urticaria itself2. Even though sheetapitta udarda and kota are having similar clinical presentation they should be managed with different treatment modalities as they differ in their doshic predominance. In this study an effort has been made to understand the same and also to compare the sheetapitta variants to that of urticarial variants with supporting clinical trial outcome.

Median cubital vein is a large communicating superficial vein of the upper limb. It shunts blood from the cephalic vein to basilic vein in the cubital fossa. As median cubital vein is widely opted for blood withdrawal or transfusion anatomical variations of this vein create lot of confusion. During routine dissection one of the variations was identified i.e. absence of a median cubital vein and presence of median cephalic vein and median basilic vein arising from the median vein of forearm. Anatomical variations of the median cubital vein have great importance in surgical and clinical interventions.

Review on Kuzhambu with Special Reference to Kottamchukkadi Kuzhambu
Authors: P. Baby Sangeetham , G. Jadar Prashant
Published: February 2024

Kuzhambu is a traditional preparation practiced mainly in Kerala which is a special form of Sneha Kalpana. It is prepared by a permutation and combination of Mahasneha. In Sanskrit it called as trivit sneha and in Malayalam it is called as mukkutt. There are no direct references to kuzhambu in Ayurveda classic literature. Kuzhambu is a blend of 3 sneha dravya fatty material each drava dravya has its own role in the combination. This combination has higher efficacy and the rate of absorption is also higher when compared to that of a single sneha. Therefore its application in therapeutics is of great value especially for external application in vatananatmaja vyadhis and pittanubandha vatavyadhis. Due to the thicker consistency viscous of kuzhambu when compared with taila its capacity to increase body heat is higher and leads to greater absorption of contents and therefore beneficial in therapeutics targeting illnesses in the elderly. Same drug has different solubility in different oils and this nature of the drug leads to greater potency in kuzhambu preparations. Kottamchukkadi kuzhambu is one of the most commonly prescribed medicines in Kerala. Even though Kottamchukkadi taila1 reduces vatakaphaja vikaras Kottamchukkadi kuzhambu possess greater tridosha hara nature. It also acts as a pushti kara and bala vardhaka.nbspnbsp

A Novel Study on Physico Chemical and Microbiological Analysis of Water During Rise of Agastya Nakshatra (Canopus Star) in Autumn Season
Authors: Sajjan Savita , Giridhar Vedantam
Published: February 2024

Background In ayurvedic and vedic literature concept of Hamsodak was explained i.e during sharadrutu due to the influence of Agastya nakshatra Canopus water gets purified.Objective To revalidate this principle the present research work was carried out for two years to conduct physico chemical and microbiological analysis of water during rise of Canopus star in autumn season in different water reservoirs.Methodology In 2015 two litres of water was collected in sterilized glass bottles from water reservoirs Rakkaskoppa and Fort Lake. In 2016 water samples were collected from Jamboti water. Physico chemical and microbiological analysis were done at three different periods like before 15 days of rise of Canopus star during rise of Canopus star and after 15 days of rise of Canopus star.Results The physico chemical analysis of water during Canopus star showed that the values of pH total alkalinity CaCO3 sulphates chlorides biological oxygen demand level were decreased. A reduction in microbiological bacterial count was observed but no changes were noted with fungal count. From these results we can interpret that there was a positive effect of Canopus star on the purification of water.Conclusion On analyzing the results of physico chemical and microbiological parameters the effect of Canopus star Agastya nakshatra was evident in the present scenario. However results may depend on the level of contamination and environmental conditions.nbsp

Hepatocellular carcinoma HCC is the most common type of liver cancer and constitutes 90 of cancers of liver globally. It is the fifth common cause of cancers affecting humans common in men than in women.There are multiple factors involved in the etiology of HCC despite the advancement in science causative agents are often unidentified.The clinical understanding of Yakrit arbuda requires a review and the classical texts describe a range of clinical conditions simulating carcinomas in their pathogenesis and clinical presentations.As there are still many gaps in current understanding of HCC further efforts are required to elucidate the diverse mechanisms involved in the etiopathogenesis of Yakrit arbuda in Ayurveda.Hence the present study was aimed at better understanding of samutthana vishesha i.e. etiological factors of Arbuda in Yakrit precise diagnosis and prognosis of the disease in early stage so that the patient is benefited with appropriate measures.nbspnbsp

Cancer is a class of disease characterized by uncontrolled cell growth. The prevalence of cancer is established to be around 2.5 million with over 800000 new cases and 550000 deaths occurring every year. Among this skin cancer accounts for about 2. There are different types of cancer which are classified by the type of cell that is affected initially. One among them is skin cancer a rare type of cancer seen in India. But due to exposure to harmful ultraviolet rays modernization and increasing use of cosmetics its prevalence has been increased.Skin is the largest organ but a tiny mole could be the one small sign that it is sick. Skin cancer usually develops in the epidermis and it may form anywhere on the body. The major risk factors for skin cancer are excessive exposure to ultraviolet radiation and fair complexion. Skin cancers can be classified as Non- melanoma and Melanoma. The squamous cell carcinoma and basal cell carcinoma are non-melanoma skin cancers which are most common types of skin cancer. Melanoma the less common skin cancer develops in the melanocytes and it grows and spreads quickly.In Ayurveda cancer is often compared to a condition called Arbuda. Our classics explained the fundamental cause for cancer is lsquoRohinirsquo the sixth layer of the Tvak. Pathogenic injuries to Mamsadhatu muscular tissues and Raktadhatu blood vessels in this layer caused by lifestyle errors unhealthy foods poor hygiene and bad habits results in the derangement of Dosha which leads to the manifestation of cancer. Thus skin cancer can be prevented by maintaining proper life style Vihara and food Ahara.

There is an urgency to establish nutrition assessment standards to evaluate the nutritional status and to provide appropriate nutrition education.Aims and Objectives This study aimed to study the relationship between Prakriti and nutritional status.Materials and Methods The research design that this study followed was Causal. The two variables studied here were Prakriti and nutritional status. Through convenience sampling a group of a homogenous population was selected and a validated tool was administered to assess Prakriti. Sixty apparently healthy subjects were selected based on Vata pradhana Pitta pradhana Kapha pradhana prakrithi 20 individuals per Prakriti and nutritional status assessments were carried out on the basis of dietary intake assessment anthropometric measurements and biochemical investigations.Results Based on appropriate statistical tests and observations all the three criteria used for assessing nourishment favoured Kapha prakriti.Conclusion Kapha prakriti individuals have a better nutritional status and they are endowed with the excellence of strength energy and longevity which is quoted as - Balavanta Vasumanta Ojaswina and Ayushmanta gunas attributed to Kapha prakriti.
Financial Markets' Perceptions of the FOMC's Data-Dependent Monetary Policy
Authors: Healy Christopher , Jia Chengcheng
Published: February 2024

Over the past ten years, the Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) has repeatedly emphasized that future policy is data dependent. In this Economic Commentary, we investigate how financial markets expected future interest rates to change with the release of new data on inflation and labor market conditions. We find that the surprises in economic indicators have a stronger effect on the 2-year Treasury yield than on the expected federal funds rate to be set in the next FOMC meeting. This implies that markets understand that under the data-dependent approach, policy decisions do not heavily rely on the most recent data or short-run fluctuations, but, rather, rely more on the persistent trend of the economy. In addition, we observe that expected future interest rates have become more sensitive to surprises in inflation after 2022, suggesting that the FOMC's determination to reduce inflation has been well-understood by the markets.
