Authors: Pojskić Mirza , Gajski Domagoj , Arnautović Alisa , Arnautović Kenan I.
Published: January 2024

Objective. Anticoagulant therapy is a risk factor for repeated intratumoral hemorrhage and acute enlargement of a vestibular schwannoma (VS) with neurological deficits. Therefore, we describe two cases of patients on oral anticoagulant therapy with intratumoral hemorrhage in which anticoagulant therapy prior to surgical resection was discontinued. We also discuss other similar cases from the literature since this is a rare event.

Case Reports. We described the two cases of intratumoral hemorrhage in acoustic neurinoma and conducted a literature review of similar cases of patients with intratumoral hemorrhage in acoustic neurinoma who were also on oral anticoagulants. Both patients presented with CN-VII palsy prior to surgery; both also fully re- covered after surgery except for hearing loss on the tumor side. Our literature review found 50 cases of VS (reported as vestibular schwannomas in the literature) with intratumoral hemorrhage. From this total, 11 patients used oral anticoagulant therapy with reported poor outcomes and high mortality; 9 of these 11 cases were reported in the past 20 years. The incidence is expected to rise due to increased use of anticoagulant therapy due to onset of atrial fibrillation, atherosclerosis, and thromboembolism from longer human lifespan.

Conclusion. Anticoagulant therapy represents a risk factor for intratumoral hemorrhage and acute enlargement of VS tumor mass with neurological deficits.

Authors: Dinengsih Sri , Nurdiana Nurdiana , Winarsih Sri , Raharjo Bambang , Endharti Agustina Tri
Published: January 2024

Context: On a cellular level, osteoporosis is a metabolic bone disease caused by osteoclastic bone resorption that is not offset by osteoblastic bone synthesis. This increases the risk of fractures by making bones weak and brittle. The selective inactivation of the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) in osteoblast lineage cells demonstrated that EGFR promotes bone formation by increasing the number of mesenchymal progenitors. Active compounds of gandarusa (Justicia gendarussa Burm. f.) are potentially playing crucial roles in EGFR activation. Aims: To evaluate the potential of J. gendarussa for osteoporosis prevention via EGF pathway in silico. Methods: A GC-MS approach was used to screen the active compounds from 70 and 95% methanol extraction, which was continued with molecular docking analysis by PyRx v0.8. The visualization and amino acid interactions were also revealed using Discovery Studio software R17. ADME analysis was performed using the SwissADME webserver to consider whether the best compound could be classified as a drug following Lipinsky rule’s of five. Results: The top five compounds with high binding affinity were selected from a total of 33 active compounds detected. One compound, namely eslicarbazepine, has a -6.7 kcal/mol affinity score and passes the threshold for drugs bioavailability, supported by the data of MW compounds 254.28 kDa, low rotatable bonds 1 bond, hydrogen bond acceptors and donors (2), high GI absorption, and ability to permeant to blood-brain barrier system. Conclusions: This finding added new insight into J. gendarussa extract potential as anti-osteoporosis in humans. Nevertheless, in vitro and in vivo experiments are necessary to confirm the potential.

Context: Scientific verification of the anti-hyperglycemic potential of Kayu sarampa (Xylocarpus moluccensis), which is popularly used for diabetic medication in North Sulawesi, Indonesia, is strongly important to conduct to avoid inappropriate medication that might cause worse conditions. Aims: To investigate the anti-hyperglycemic potential of X. moluccensis stem bark ethyl acetate extract and isolated compounds through the α-glucosidase enzyme inhibitory and antioxidant capacity determination. Methods: The active compound was isolated from ethyl acetate extract of X. moluccensis stem bark. The structures of those compounds were elucidated by infrared spectroscopy, liquid chromatography–mass spectrometry, and nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopies. To discover the anti-hyperglycemic potency, α-glucosidase enzyme inhibition assay, antioxidant assay (DPPH and FRAP), and in silico study were performed. Results: Three isolated compounds were obtained and characterized as two tetrahydroxyterpenoids compounds, namely xyloccensin E (1) and ruageanin D (2), and one flavonoid compound, namely 3,5,7,3ʹ,4ʹ-pentahidroxyflavan (catechin) (3). Compounds 1 and 3 inhibited the α-glucosidase enzyme with IC50 values of 118.60 and 55.19 µg/mL, respectively, with a competitive inhibition mechanism. This is also in line with in silico findings, and both compounds showed good binding affinity of α-glucosidase protein, which indicated their anti-hyperglycemic activity potential by inhibiting α-glucosidase enzyme. Moreover, compounds 1 and 3 showed antioxidant capacity through the DPPH method with an IC50 value of 54.69 and 2.87 µg/mL. In addition, 100 µg/mL of compounds 1 and 3 also exhibited antioxidant capacity through the FRAP method with values of 66.35 and 213.82 µmol Fe2+/g, respectively. Conclusions: The X. moluccensis stem bark ethyl acetate extract, and isolated compounds exhibit α-glucosidase enzyme inhibitory activity and antioxidant capacity, which confirms its potency as an alternative medication for hyperglycemia issues.

Authors: Mmasa Joel
Published: January 2024

This study analysed the socio-economic impacts of water project on the community livelihood in peri-urban Tanzania. It employed a cross-sectional research design, and a survey questionnaire was distributed to 353 households were randomly selected by probability sampling techniques. Data were analysed using the logistic regression model. The findings suggest that household’s access to water is positively affected by respondent’s years of schooling. Having one additional year of schooling may increase the chance to access to water services. Furthermore, the average household head’s monthly income was a significant explanatory variable at 1 percent level of significance. Besides, non-farm activities were significantly related to access to water. Nevertheless, the study identified four major economic activities that the community engaged in as a result of water accessibility: male and female hair salons, petty trading in village open auction, vegetable gardening and bodaboda. Of the four economic activities, petty trading in village open auction business is the most practiced. One can conclude that the existence of water projects promotes socio-economic development.
Assessment of Conflicts in Water Resources Management of Tobora Sub-catchment in Mara River Basin, Tanzania.
Authors: Masesa Melanie
Published: January 2024

Water resources are essential for both human livelihood and environmental services. Demand for the resources has led to increasing water conflicts because of how water is managed and governed. Many developing countries like Tanzania experience conflicts based on competing water uses. This paper examines conflicts on various competing water uses in Tobora Sub-catchment of Mara River Basin in Tanzania. It analyses factors that contribute to water conflicts among water users. It further highlights conflicts resolution and mitigation measures that the basin can adopt for proper water management. The study used explanatory and descriptive research design using mixed methods approaches. Different types of data were collected using focused group discussions, household interviews and key informants interviews. Majority of the respondents mentioned water conflicts to be mainly caused by land scarcity associated with population growth and increased competing water uses among various water users. Additionally, conflicts were linked to politics whereby politicians allowed water users to conduct economic activities 60m within water sources, which contradicts the water policy. Conflicts between farmers and herders were more evident due to competing water uses for irrigation and livestock keeping. Water conflicts were resolved through by-laws and laws adherence, mediation, resource use guidelines, public awareness campaigns, land use plans to demarcate farming and grazing land, legal land ownership rights and customary laws.
Water meter inaccuracy assessment and operation control considering customer information
Authors: Gidion Dickson
Published: January 2024

Water Meter Inaccuracy (WMI) is one of the apparent loss components contributing to an increase in non-revenue water. The estimation of the volume of water lost due to WMI and control within a utility is still a challenge; thus, the current study investigated its field operation using customer consumption records. A few studies estimated WMI using data obtained in a controlled experimental environment; however, WMI assessment requires a significant computation that includes unforeseen field fault operating environment. This study is of the view that experimental results are necessary for meter type selection, based on the designed flow characteristics and proposes a WMI assessment and control approach in which the field under- or over-registering meters are identified in a billing system. The analysis of this study reveals that a utility operation environment, economic factor and social trust can be efficiently improved using customers water consumption records.

Review of the Role of Bees as Ecosystem Engineers in Nature
Authors:   University of Sargodha, Pakistan, Khan Shahmshad Ahmed
Published: January 2024

Bees are a highly important group, providing a multitude of services to ecosystems, most notably through pollination. While much of the research on bees has traditionally focused on their role in pollinating a variety of wild and cultivated crops, this review paper expands the discourse by examining their functions as ecosystem engineers. Traditional definitions of ecosystem engineers exclude pollinators due to their nonphysical modifications of habitats for other species. However, contemporary studies challenge this perspective, recognizing pollinators as integral ecosystem engineers who offer a range of direct and indirect ecological services. For instance, bees’ pollination activities lead to the formation of dry fruits that subsequently serve as shelters for various organisms. In addition, ground-nesting bees modify soil composition through mechanisms such as aeration and bioturbation. This review aims to elucidate the transformative impact bees have as ecosystem engineers, thereby enhancing our understanding of their ecological importance.
Climate Change and Avian Populations: a Review
Authors:   Independent researcher, Kwazulu-Natal, South Africa, Osborn Rae
Published: January 2024

Avian species fulfill many important roles in their respective ecosystems as seed dispersers, pollinators, and predators. Avian populations have previously, currently, and are likely to be affected by climate change. Climate change can cause distribution ranges to shift, migration patterns to alter, and reproductive success to decrease. Climate change may also impact plants and invertebrate prey, thereby modulating food availability and accessibility and likely reproductive potential. The impact of climate change on avian species is difficult to predict given the complexities of bird natural histories and the shifting importance of ecological variables on survival. Given the global biological importance of bird species, conservationists need to be cognizant of these potential changes in avian populations as well as their impacts and design appropriate action plans based on the most accurate available data.
The migration process: crisis adaptation or conscious choice?
Authors:   University “Aldo Moro” of Bari, Italy, Civita Anna
Published: January 2024

Thinking of migrants brings to mind in the imagination people who leave their land, for an indefinite time, in search of conditions absent in their country of origin. It often becomes difficult to define them, as some are immigrants, some are migrants, and some are nomads or travellers. Migration brings to mind a movement of people between countries of departure and those of arrival, that is, a journey, mostly, into the unknown, the detachment of which also produces a feeling of nostalgia. The present work seeks to highlight the condition of the migrant who becomes one by choice, in some cases, and at other times is one by compulsion. Migration becomes an evolving phenomenon, prompting insiders to question themselves in order to observe, with a critical lens, the social reality of the host country, which changes rapidly in the interchange with migrants. It’s interesting to read the migration numbers provided by ISMU, UNICEF and UNHCR to understand how this phenomenon has evolved, including by virtue of the Covid-19 pandemic, the Afghan issue and, recently, the Russia-Ukraine war, in light of the economic crisis that characterizes Europe and whose repercussions have resulted in fluctuating migration inflows and outflows, with medium- to long-term consequences. In the history of migration, there are often stories of abandonment, family tragedies or other painful events from which migrants flee, hoping to find a better condition, creating a kind of “watershed” that separates the “before” from the “after” and especially from the “here” to the “there”.

Nonviolence as a Critique of Individualism in Butler and Gandhi
Authors: Mercier Capucine ,   Eastern Illinois University
Published: January 2024

In this article, I put Judith Butler’s thought of nonviolence in dialogue with that of M. K. Gandhi to show how, for both thinkers, a defense of nonviolence must be grounded in interdependency and equality, which consequently entails a displacement of the individual self and its interests as the focus of ethics. Although Butler’s and Gandhi’s accounts of nonviolence differ in some important respects, both base their defense of nonviolence on a recognition of interdependency in opposition to Western individualism. This critique of individualism as an adequate ethical framework leads each author to question the concept of self-defense and to reject the preservation of individual life as the goal of ethical and political action.
Hobbes’s Medeas
Authors: Bradley Arthur ,   DePaul University
Published: January 2024

This article explores Thomas Hobbes’s political translations of Euripides’s Medea and, particularly, his representation of the Dionysian ritual of killing and dismembering a sacrificial victim (sparagmos). To answer the question of what forms political theology may take in modernity, I contend that Hobbes seeks to reverse the political theological meaning of ancient Greek sparagmos—which was originally depicted in Euripides as a legitimate religious sacrifice whose objective was to reunify the polis—by turning it into a senseless act of political violence that will dissolve the civil state into competing interest groups or body parts. If Hobbes seeks to expel religious sacrifice from his political state into archaic pre-history, however, the article goes on to argue—via Bramhall, Schmitt, and Cavarero’s revisionary readings of his work—that the philosopher’s critique of Medea ends up bestowing a legitimacy upon the tragic heroine that disarticulates the political theological unity upon which his Commonwealth is founded. In the tragic figure of Medea, Dionysian sparagmos returns to dismember and even potentially consume the body parts of the Leviathan.
Power’s Two Bodies
Authors: Cerella Antonio ,   DePaul University
Published: January 2024

This article seeks to problematize Agamben’s interpretation of sovereignty in light of the “archaeological method” he uses in his Homo Sacer project. In contrast to Agamben’s exposition, which treats biopolitics as the original and ontological paradigm of Western politics, the essay discusses how, historically, sovereign power has been conceived as a “double body”—transcendent and immanent, sacred and sacrificial, absolute and perpetual—from whose tension conceptual and political metamorphoses of sovereignty arise. The first attribute of sovereignty—absoluteness, on which Agamben has often focused—should be seen as an ordering and essentially modern function of its second “body”: the perpetuity of power. The article illustrates, then, how the retrospective projections through which the Italian philosopher constructs his ontological reading of sovereignty depend on some logical and epistemological lacunae that characterize his “archaeological method,” which is based, essentially, on an arbitrary use of historical analogies.
Perspectives on Modern Islamist Political Theology
Authors: El-Bizri Nader ,   DePaul University
Published: January 2024

This paper addresses the notion of political theology by way of accounting for modern manifestations of transnational Islamism with a particular emphasis on the establishment of theocratic rule through the contemporary political spheres of praxis in Twelver-Shiism (Shīʿa Ithnā-ʿAsharīyya). This is undertaken by way of giving some principal highlights concerning the conceptual aspects that can be accounted for from the standpoint of political theology in the broad context of Islamist fundamentalist movements. A more detailed focus is also presented in this context on the eschatology that underpins the theocracy of contemporary Twelver-Shiism in terms of its religious outlooks on history, and the conduct of its communal affairs along with the organization of its associated politicized institutions.
