The Influence of Climate Change on Medicinal Plant Availability on Malaria Treatment
Authors:   Department of Nursing Sciences Kampala International University Uganda, Christine Apio
Published: December 2024

Climate change significantly alters the distribution and availability of medicinal plants, affecting global health, especially in regions reliant on these plants for treating malaria. Medicinal plants, recognized for their therapeutic properties and low side effects, have been integral to malaria treatment in traditional and modern medicine systems worldwide. However, changes in temperature, precipitation, and other climatic variables are influencing plant physiology, reducing the abundance and potency of species crucial for antimalarial therapy. The current review examines these climate-related impacts on medicinal plants in malaria-prone regions, with case studies from sub-Saharan Africa and Asia. The findings suggest that changes in plant availability and efficacy threaten local healthcare systems and emphasize the urgency for collaborative, interdisciplinary research to sustain medicinal plant resources. Solutions may include climate-resilient plant cultivation and bolstering indigenous knowledge, which could lead to sustainable alternatives for communities affected by climate change.

Authors:   Faculty of Business, Kampala International University, Uganda, Amina G. Kagaba
Published: December 2024

Malaria continues to be a pressing public health issue, particularly in low-income regions where socio-economic disparities amplify the risk of infection. This review investigates the socio-economic determinants influencing malaria transmission, with a focus on poverty, housing conditions, and healthcare accessibility in high-incidence areas. It explores how these factors collectively exacerbate malaria risk and contribute to sustained disease transmission. By examining the ways poverty restricts access to preventive resources, inadequate housing increases exposure, and limited healthcare infrastructure hinders timely treatment, this review highlights the need for integrated policy approaches. We recommend multi-faceted interventions that target the socio-economic roots of malaria, including economic stability initiatives, housing improvements, and expanded healthcare access, to foster equitable malaria control and support broader socio-economic development in malaria-prone communities.

Keywords: Malaria risk, socio-economic determinants, poverty, housing conditions, healthcare accessibility.
Robotic Surgery: Precision and Patient Outcomes
Authors:   Faculty of Pharmacy Kampala International University Uganda, Prissy Ahereza
Published: December 2024

Robotic-assisted surgery has transformed modern surgical practice by offering new possibilities for precision and improved patient outcomes. This paper systematically reviews current evidence on the effectiveness, precision, and patient outcomes associated with robotic surgery, evaluating both its strengths and limitations. Although robotic systems are widely implemented across surgical disciplines, ranging from urology to gynecology, their benefits have been met with both praise and caution. This review examines areas where robotic surgery may outperform traditional approaches in minimizing blood loss, reducing recovery time, and enhancing surgical accuracy. Additionally, it discusses the economic and operational barriers to widespread adoption, such as the significant costs associated with equipment and training, as well as the variability in clinical outcomes reported in different studies. Despite these challenges, the application of robotic surgery in complex and minimally invasive procedures continues to grow, with data supporting improved patient experiences in specific cases. The conclusion emphasizes the need for further randomized clinical trials to definitively establish robotic surgery’s impact on patient outcomes and to guide optimal usage in various surgical contexts.

Keywords: Robotic Surgery, Patient Outcomes, Precision Medicine, Minimally Invasive Surgery, Surgical Technology.
Rewriting Patriarchy: A Feminist Reading of Grace Paley's “A Conversation with My Father”
Authors: El Bakal Mohamed
Published: December 2024

This paper undertakes a feminist reading of Grace Paley’s “A Conversation with My Father”, positioning her work within the discourse of feminist theory as articulated by Hélène Cixous and Luce Irigaray. Engaging with the notion of “feminine writing” and the patriarchal underpinnings of language, this analysis reveals how Paley’s narrative techniques challenge fixed literary conventions and resist the rigidity of traditional storytelling. Through a fragmented and open-ended narrative structure, Paley subtly critiques her father’s demand for a typological and linear story, a preference that reflects the normative expectations of patriarchal literature. By foregrounding the body and privileging multiplicity, Paley echoes Cixous’ and Irigaray’s call for a new mode of representation, one that transcends the limits imposed by phallogocentric discourse. This paper explores how “A Conversation with My Father” serves as both an artistic and theoretical counterpoint to the masculine literary canon, advocating for a narrative form that embodies the fluidity, change, and diversity intrinsic to the feminine experience. In doing so, Paley’s work affirms the necessity of alternative voices in literature, voices that challenge the essentialist representations perpetuated by patriarchal modes of thinking.

Cassava processing plays a critical role in Nigeria’s agricultural sector, but it generates substantial waste that poses environmental risks, particularly to soil quality. This study investigates the environmental impact of cassava processing waste on soil quality in Benue South, Nigeria, focusing on the accumulation of cyanide, heavy metals, phosphates, and nitrates. The study was conducted across three Local Government Areas—Otukpo, Ohimini, and Okpokwu—using soil samples collected at varying depths from cassava processing effluent discharge points. Analytical methods included colorimetry for cyanide detection and atomic absorption spectroscopy for heavy metal analysis. The findings reveal significant contamination by heavy metals, particularly lead, and elevated cyanide levels near processing sites, highlighting the adverse effects of cassava waste on soil health. Phosphate and nitrate concentrations were also assessed, indicating potential risks to soil fertility and groundwater quality. The results underscore the urgent need for improved waste management practices in cassava processing communities to mitigate environmental degradation. This research contributes valuable baseline data for future interventions aimed at promoting sustainable cassava processing and waste utilization, with potential benefits for both environmental health and rural economies.
Pathophysiology of Medical Parasites: Mechanisms of Disease and Immune Evasion
Authors: Mustafa Hamssa M.
Published: December 2024

Medical parasites are diverse organisms that can cause significant morbidity and mortality worldwide. Understanding the pathophysiology of these parasites is crucial for developing effective treatment and prevention strategies. This review explores the mechanisms through which medical parasites induce disease and evade host immune responses. Key parasitic pathogens, including protozoa, helminths, and ectoparasites, employ various strategies to establish infection and promote survival within the host. Mechanisms of tissue invasion, such as the secretion of proteolytic enzymes and the alteration of host cell signaling pathways, are critical for establishing parasitic niches. Additionally, many parasites possess sophisticated immune evasion tactics, such as antigenic variation, secretion of immunomodulatory molecules, and the ability to mimic host antigens. These adaptations allow parasites to persist in hostile environments and evade detection by the host immune system. The interplay between the parasite's pathogenic mechanisms and the host's immune response is complex, leading to a range of clinical manifestations, from mild to severe disease. Understanding these interactions not only sheds light on the biology of these organisms but also highlights potential targets for therapeutic intervention. This review aims to provide a comprehensive overview of the pathophysiological processes underlying parasitic infections and their implications for public health.

Published: December 2024

The body is shielded from infections by the immune system, which acts as a firewall. A multitude of cells, glands, and other components make up the immune system, and they all function flawlessly together. Repeated exposure to bacteria, viruses, and other pathogens weakens the immune system over time. It has to be reinforced and put back in a healthy condition.For those who are severely malnourished, vitamins can help boost immunity and combat illnesses and health issues. Although vitamins and nutritional supplements can help make up for vitamin shortages, it is preferable to get these vitamins from meals since the body absorbs and uses them effectively.By altering one's food, taking supplements to increase immunity, and changing one's lifestyle, one can enhance their immune system. The greatest and most significant vitamins that strengthen the immune system are reviewed in this article.

Long term exposure to gasoline should be monitored, thus calling for collaboration between the health workers and gas factory management to ensure frequent monitoring of their workers health.
A Conversation of Rumors: Indian Subalterns’ Strategy for Micro-Political Struggle
Authors: Ziwei Yan
Published: December 2024

Rumor is the enabling mode of protest for Indian peasant subalterns, making it possible for them to transmit their messages with an ease and rapidity that the ruling classes often found bewildering, thus avoiding individual responsibility. The analysis of four Indian novels written in English, The Village, Kanthapura, Cradle of the Clouds and A Suitable Boy, which spans from 1920s to 1960s, when the Indian nationalist movement, the land reform and modernization after Indian independence were in full swing, makes it clear that rumor makes the peasant subalterns the subject of history with their own distinctive forms of consciousness and making sense of and acting upon the world on its own terms.

Authors: Altaf Habiba , Reza Alimur
Published: December 2024

The development of bamboo and banana‐reinforced polyester composite was the subject of the investigation. For a hybrid polymer composite, two cellulosic fibers are used as reinforcement because of their affordability, availability, and environmentally beneficial waste disposal. Furthermore, the highly fibrous and hydrophilic fibers are collected locally, which enables them to create a strong bond with the polyester polymeric matrix in the form of particle fibers. Thus, the purpose of this study is to examine the application of banana and bamboo fiber in composite construction. Composites were made by hand lay‐up method using a waste natural resource mixture of banana and bamboo fiber for reinforcement. Samples that have been separated and developed are evaluated for their thermal and mechanical characteristics. All processes are showed in the graphical abstract in Figure 1. Using the hybrid composite to its advantage, three samples were created and examined. According to the data, the composite with the excess bamboo fiber exhibits greater performance than the other two samples. In conclusion, when combined with bamboo fiber in small amounts, banana fiber’s adequate elasticity can improve the qualities. The sample exhibits favorable proper‐ ties in the bend, impact, and thermal conductivity tests.

The tuber of Stephania venosa (Blume) Spreng, locally known as Belajang Keissi’, belongs to the Menispermaceae family and is traditionally used in Indonesia for treating diabetes mellitus, as a nerve tonic, and as an anti-cancer remedy. This plant is recognized for its bioactive compounds with anti-inflammatory, analgesic, antioxidant, and anti-tumor properties. The objective of this study was to analyze the phytochemical content and evaluate the toxicity of the methanol extract of Stephania venosa tubers to explore its potential as an anticancer agent. The study involved sample preparation, extraction by maceration, phytochemical group testing using specific reagents, and toxicity assessment through the Brine Shrimp Lethality Test (BSLT) method. Phytochemical screening revealed the presence of alkaloids and flavonoids as the major secondary metabolites, while the toxicity test showed that the extract exhibited significant lethality to Artemia salina larvae, with an LC50 value of 14.92 ppm. This result indicates high toxicity, meeting the threshold of bioactivity for potential therapeutic applications (LC50 ≤ 1000 ppm). The mechanism of toxicity is hypothesized to involve the interference of alkaloids with the neural and digestive systems of the larvae. This study highlights the potential of Stephania venosa tubers as a source of bioactive compounds for antibacterial, antifungal, or anticancer development, warranting further isolation and advanced pharmacological testing to confirm its therapeutic applications.

Valovi epidemije kuge značajno su obilježili politički i gospodarski razvoj Europe tijekom čitavog 14. stoljeća. Dubrovnik kao važna sredozemna luka nije mogao izbjeći takvim tendencijama. U dosadašnjoj historiografiji dosta se je raspravljalo o važnosti Dubrovnika za razvoj javnozdravstvenih mjera no pitanje izravnog utjecaja epidemija kuge na dubrovačko gospodarstvo nije detaljnije istraživano. Sačuvano arhivsko gradivo sugerira da kužne epidemije nisu zaustavile gospodarsku aktivnost Grada, a uspješna implementacija karantene i javnozdravstvenih mjera omogućavala je gotovo nesmetanu cirkulaciju ljudi i roba istovremeno štiteći Dubrovnik od najvećih naleta epidemija u 14. stoljeću. U ovom kratkom prilogu, autor ocrtava raznolikost sačuvanog arhivskog gradiva te mogućnosti i metodološke pristupe istraživanja gospodarskih aktivnosti njihova dosega i fluktuacije pod utjecajem epidemija tijekom 14. stoljeća.

Published: December 2024

On the basis of extensive archival materials related to the life, scientific and political activities of one of the most respected Croatian historians, Ferdo Šišić (1869–1940), which have been archived and kept in the Archives of the Croatian Academy of Sciences and Arts (HAZU) in Zagreb, the authors analyze his relations with his contemporaries. In this work, by processing material from Series A - Letters of various correspondents to Šišić, by analyzing the content of the letters, one can identify the circle of persons who addressed their letters to Šišić and especially the reasons for writing to him, one of the most respected members of the Croatian intellectual milieu at the end of the 19th and the first half of the 20th century. The mentioned archival fund contains letters from the period 1895 to 1940, and reveals that Šišić maintained lively scientific and everyday connections with persons from different social strata and different professions. However, by far the highest number of letters is devoted to historiography and related sciences (auxiliary historical sciences, philology, egdotics), which he discussed with distinguished scientists from Croatia, Central Europe, Russia, and Western Europe, as well. In addition to his scientific reputation, which his contemporaries emphasize in their letters in the Croatian, Slovenian, Serbian, Hungarian, German, French, English and Russian languages, many of them, especially the correspondents from Croatia, Slovenia and Bosnia and Herzegovina, reveal his character virtues, specifically that he was respected as a scientific authority, as well as a moral and empathic individual, who was always willing to help younger scientists, friends, and acquaintances.

In Islam, marriage is a sunnatullah that applies to every creature. Marriage cannot always achieve its essential goals, one of which can be seen in divorce. It can even be stated that the most sad event in marriage is divorce, so God really hates it. So the author raised the theme "Sexual Needs Are the Main Cause of High Divorce Rates". The type of research used in this paper is Library Research. Using primary data sources that use material from several books about sexual needs and books about divorce. Secondary material as support for this research uses books, articles, papers that discuss divorce caused by sexual needs. So, based on this research, it can be concluded that one of the factors that can influence a family to divorce, among others, is the dissatisfaction of one partner in sexual relations, resulting in the partner's inner income not being met. Biological factors that are not fulfilled by partners are the main factor in the high divorce rate, either because they do not get satisfaction from their partners or for various reasons.

Poverty is one of the major issues currently being faced by the Indonesian nation. The problem of poverty will never end if traced from the root of the problem. Poverty is not only an interesting issue to be discussed at the national level, but at the regional level itself, the poverty of this community seems to spread throughout the country, for example in Tanjungpinang City, where the poverty rate is high, even though Tanjungpinang City is the provincial capital. Various efforts and efforts have been made by related parties to reduce the poverty rate, but what is happening in the field is that the poverty rate is actually increasing. Starting from BLT assistance, PKH to BPNT, the local government has launched it in collaboration with related agencies, namely the Social Service. In this study, the researchers wanted to examine one of the aids, namely Non-Cash Food Assistance (BPNT), which is routinely carried out from 2018-present. Researchers want to know more about how this assistance is implemented, starting from the weaknesses to the advantages that arise from this assistance and what the consequences are for the poverty rate. Talking about the poverty rate cannot be separated from sustainable development or often referred to as the SDGs, where the first point of the SDGs is No Poverty (Without Poverty) whose target must be achieved by 2030. This study used a qualitative descriptive method, with 7 (seven) informants. In this study the techniques used were interviews and documentation. The theory used in this study uses the theory of Van Metter and Van Horn. The results of the study found that the implementation of the poverty alleviation policy through BPNT was quite good, but it is undeniable that there are still deficiencies that must be addressed, especially in determining the beneficiaries who receive this assistance, which often occurs miscommunication or mis-data between events that actually occur in the field. data received by related parties. Not only that, in the last few months the distribution has been changed from a system of buying food to cash which is disbursed directly through an ATM, of course this is a decision that must be reviewed again from the original purpose of this policy.

The existence of Political Parties in the unitary State of the Republic of Indonesia (NKRI) cannot be separated from the climate of freedom that existed during the Dutch Colonial Government. Such freedom gives people space to form an organization, including Political Parties. In addition, the existence of Political Parties in the Unitary State of the Republic of Indonesia is also inseparable from the role of movements that aim to obtain freedom from the Dutch colonial government, also demanding independence. We can see this with the birth of the Parties before Independence. community’s need for drinking water that is of good quality and safe for consumption as well as in line with the development of free markets and competition in the business word, many business actors have set up refill drinking water depots which must comply wiht the Regulation of the Minister of Indonesia Number 43 of the Year 2014 concening Sanitation Hygiene of Drinking Water Depots.

We know that marine resources, in this case fisheries in Indonesia, are one form of the country's "defense" aspects. Indonesia's Exclusive Economic Zone or called ZEEI in the North Natuna Sea is an area that is often the case. For example, Indonesia there will be arrests of Vietnamese – flagged fishing vessels in early 2023 and until November 2018 the Indonesian Government had handled 134 illegal fishing cases and 41 of them had permanent legal force. Illegal fishing itself is often associated with large-scale fishing or overfishing thatresults in damage to the underwater ecosystem. Underwater ecosystems will become extinct if illegal fishing and overfishing cases are not seriously handled by the Government and Law Enforcement Officials. Foreign ships of illegal fishing and overfishing can be sanctioned in the form of violations of Law Number 31 of 2004 concerning Fisheries as amended by Law Number 45 of 2009 with the threat of a maximum prison sentence of 6 years and a maximum of Rp 20 billion rupiah.

Indonesia's legal system continues to be predominantly influenced by modern laws introduced by European countries, creating a distinctive character within the Indonesian legal framework. The familial nature of Indonesia's legal system tends to prioritize form over substance, paying less attention to moral aspects. This raises issues related to the imbalance of humanitarian values within the legal system. Despite its status as an independent and sovereign nation, Indonesia still grapples with cases of dishonesty and ethical violations in law enforcement. Therefore, this research aims to compare the judicial systems of Indonesia and Malaysia using a normative legal research method. The comparison reveals the complexity and uniqueness of legal development in both countries. Indonesia, inheriting Dutch civil law, has a court structure that separates general, religious, administrative, and military jurisdictions. In contrast, Malaysia, blending English law with Islamic and customary law, demonstrates strong diversification in court forms and jurisdictions. These differences reflect legal adaptations to history, culture, and the needs of local communities. While both systems have strengths and weaknesses, there is room for improvement in terms of dispute resolution efficiency and jurisdictional clarity.

The Criminal Code is a body of laws that precisely governs how people behave in order to foster national development and alignment with state objectives, particularly for the Indonesian populace. One of the many tribes, nations, races, faiths, and civilizations that make up Indonesia is that it maintains the diversity of religious views among its citizens. There are believers of their own faiths in different parts of Indonesia, however the religions included in Presidential Determination Number 1 of 1965 are Islam, Christianity, Catholicism, Hinduism, Buddhism, and Confucianism. The existence of Law Number 1 of 2023 is controversial because there is legal ambiguity regarding the form and basis of sanctions against perpetrators of religious blasphemy or beliefs. As a result, their rights have not yet been granted and there is no basis for legal regulations. The study's objective is to ascertain the criminal penalties that, under Law Number 1 of 2023, are meted out to those who commit acts of religious blasphemy as well as the legal foundations for those who do so. It is possible to determine the types of criminal penalties that are given to offenders of religious blasphemy under Law Number 1 of 2023 by using a normative juridical approach.
