Authors: Idowu Asegame Aimola Godson Ofobuike Eze , Eneneve Ibrahim Yakubu Kokori
Published: November 2024

This study investigated the in vivo anti-trypanosomal activity of BMH-21. Wistar albino rats were randomly divided into eight groups, each consisting of five rats: IT20, IT40, and IT60. These groups received treatments with 20, 40, and 60 mg/kg body weight (bw) of BMH-21, respectively, after being infected. Additional groups included IUT (Infected-untreated), UUT (Uninfected-untreated), UT60 (Uninfected but given 60 mg/kg bw of BMH-21), P60 (administered 60 mg/kg bw of BMH-21 once, infected after 72 hours, with treatment continuing daily until Day 4), and ITDA (Infected and treated with 3.5 mg/kg bw of diminazine aceturate). Infection was induced by intraperitoneal injection of 0.5 ml of blood containing approximately 10³ cells/ml. Standard protocols were followed for parasitological, biochemical, histopathological, and gene expression analyses. Graded doses of BMH-21 significantly reduced (p<0.05) parasitemia in the infected-treated rats. Treatment with 60 mg/kg bw of BMH-21 resulted in a significant increase (p<0.05) in PCV, RBC, Hb, and WBC counts in infected-treated animals compared to the IUT group. Serum ALT activity significantly decreased (p<0.05) in the UT60 and P60 groups compared to IUT. Serum AST levels also showed a significant decrease in the IT20, UT60, and P60 groups. Additionally, the expression levels of the T. b. brucei ESAG6 and ITSI genes were down-regulated by 40 mg/kg bw of BMH-21, with fold reductions of 5 and 3, respectively, compared to the calibrator. BMH-21 demonstrated anti-trypanosomal potential against T. b. brucei, improved the biochemical parameters of infected animals, and reduced the expression levels of ESAG6 and ITSI genes.

Published: November 2024

The incidence of public health emergencies is rising in the context of Volatility, Uncertainty, Complexity, and Ambiguity (VUCA). This results in a scarcity of healthcare resources and service disruptions, significantly impacting public lives, safety, and health rights. Financial resilience is crucial for the sustainable provision of critical medical services amid interruptions, especially for public hospitals, which serve as the foundation of the national healthcare system. This study utilized dynamic capacity theory to analyze the impact of essential dynamic capcapability (revenue diversification capability, cost adjustment capability, budget flexibility, and financial informatization) on the financial resilience of public hospitals in China. 205 responses were collected from hospital management and staff. The collected data were analyzed using the Structural Equation Modeling Partial Least Squares (SEM-PLS) approach. The results indicate that revenue diversification and cost adjustment capability positively and significantly influence the financial resilience of public hospitals, addressing the theoretical gap in this area within developing countries and aiding public healthcare decision-makers in strengthening the financial resilience of public hospitals through enhanced revenue diversification and cost adjustment capcapability.
The Examination of the Problem of Evil in Alvin Plantinga
Authors: Olisaemeka Chukwunweolu, Stephen , Chukwuma Okoro, Christian , Chinasa Orji, Dominic
Published: November 2024

This study explores Alvin Plantinga’s Free Will Defense as a response to one of the perennial problems of philosophy; problem of evil which challenges the existence of an omniscient, omnipotent, and wholly good God. Plantinga refutes traditional theodicies that attempt to specify why God permits evil and argues that the human free will is a crucial component in understanding the coexistence of God and evil in the world. He posits that evil stems from the misuse of free will by humans and non-human free agents such as Satan. This study examines how Plantinga’s approach addresses natural, physical and moral evils while refuting the logical inconsistencies proposed by atheologians. The essay drawing from the positions of philosophers like Augustine, Leibniz, and Mackie highlights how the existence of evil does not invalidate belief in God. This Free Will Defense maintains that God allows evil as it is a necessary condition for the greater good of free will. It emphasises that God’s reason for permitting evil may be beyond human comprehension. The study concludes that Plantinga’s Free Will Defense is logically consistent, providing a compelling refutation of atheistic arguments, while reinforcing the rationality of theistic belief in the face of evil.

The results indicate that alterations in Cx43 may represent a promising therapeutic target, offering new perspectives for the development of clinical disciplines in cardiac diseases.
Unique contribution to theory, practice and policy: A consolidated analysis of the demonstrated evidence suggests that gap junctions, composed of different isoforms of connections, play an essential role in the transmission of the cardiac electrical impulse. From these findings, it can be inferred that both genetic diseases and acquired pathologies are associated with modifications in the levels and subcellular distribution of connexin. Changes in the expression and positioning of these proteins can therefore trigger the worsening of pathological conditions, compromising cardiac function and enhancing the development of electrical conduction dysfunctions. In this context, connections emerge as promising targets for the development of therapeutic strategies, offering new perspectives for the treatment of a wide range of cardiac diseases.

Jesus in Islamic worldview (Quranic approach)

The more people have tried to discover who Jesus really was, the more it has been found how little is known about him. Because there are limited records of his teachings and some of his actions. As a matter of fact, very little is known about how he actually lived his life from moment to moment, and how he conducted his everyday transaction with other people. Yet, the worldview of Islam, which derives its authenticity from the holy Qur’an respects and venerates Jesus Christ. It considers him to be one of God’s greatest messengers to humankind. As such, The Qur’an (as the last of the divine books, revealed by God to the last of messenger), is undoubtedly a source of knowledge about Jesus which not generally known to some of adherents of Christianity and Judaism respectively. Indeed, the Qur’an not only leads us towards a better understanding of who he was, but also through that understanding, it increases our respect and love for him. It re-affirms his miraculous birth and his miraculous abilities. Furthermore, his mother Mary is regarded as one of the most pure and exalted women of all creations. Based on the above fact, this academic paper aims to explore the reality of Jesus Christ in Islamic worldview. Yet, the Quranic methodology is applied, that is by analyzing Quranic verses that related to Jesus Christ, the son of Mary. Finally, a brief conclusion followed

This work deals with the study of linguistic variations, having as its core the differences found in social interaction in people's daily lives. It was constructed considering the difficulty some teachers have in dealing with the heterogeneity of verbal expressions used in communities. It does not aim to judge any conception, especially the standard norm, but to provide a new perspective in a judicious manner, taking into account the relationship with the events of these variations, observing factors such as: geographic space, the degree of formality required for each situation experienced, culture, the individual being and the community in which he or she is inserted. This is what is set out in the chapters that, when dealing with linguistic variation, bring in their core the historical and conceptual marks, in the light of various theorists, discussing the sociolinguistic phenomenon, as well as reflecting on the possibility of a variationist analysis, focusing on diatopic variation, orality and regionalisms in the light of popular culture. The research also provides an opportunity for a reflective approach, focusing on the analysis of the diatopic variation present in the poem “A triste partiu de Patativa do Assaré”.
