Published: December 2024

Dalam mengakhiri jurnal pengabdian mengenai optimalisasi praktek pengalaman lapangan mahasiswa STAIN Meulaboh di Pengadilan Negeri Meulaboh, dapat disimpulkan bahwa partisipasi aktif mahasiswa dalam kegiatan lapangan membawa dampak positif yang signifikan. Mahasiswa tidak hanya mengembangkan keterampilan administratif dan teknis yang diperlukan dalam operasional pengadilan, tetapi juga memberikan kontribusi nyata terhadap peningkatan efisiensi dan kualitas manajemen dokumen di lingkungan peradilan. Penerapan teknologi dalam proses pemindaian berkas perkara menunjukkan adaptasi yang cerdas terhadap perkembangan zaman, sementara keterlibatan langsung dalam tugas fisik seperti mengebor dan menjahit berkas perkara memberikan pemahaman mendalam tentang aspek praktis dalam pengelolaan berkas fisik. Keseluruhan, pengabdian ini tidak hanya menciptakan pengalaman berharga bagi mahasiswa, tetapi juga mengukuhkan peran perguruan tinggi dalam mendukung optimalisasi proses peradilan. Model ini memberikan landasan bagi kolaborasi yang lebih erat antara lembaga pendidikan tinggi dan pengadilan, membawa manfaat positif bagi kedua belah pihak. Diharapkan bahwa hasil pengabdian ini akan merangsang upaya serupa di lembaga pendidikan tinggi lainnya, menghadirkan mahasiswa sebagai agen perubahan positif dalam praktek hukum di Indonesia.

The German Desk: US and German Relations in NATO
Authors: Sabir Mursel
Published: December 2024

As the United States continues to lead its allies in NATO, new global challenges require NATO members to strengthen their commitment to the Alliance. ُThe previous administration perpetuated significant strains on the US’s relations with its key allies, yet US interests in NATO have extended through several administrations. Germany, a key US and NATO ally, has continuously failed to support US leadership through increasing its commitments to our joint alliance. German officials have continuously avoided addressing Germany’s failure to adhere to their financial commitments, and instead have notified the US and its allies that Germany expects yet even more delays to its targeted goals for increasing defense spending. With new security threats arising, the United States must lead an appropriate solution to holding NATO members accountable for providing adequate financial contributions. This policy recommendation will provide an overview of the current diplomatic situation with Germany, diplomatic challenges the US administration currently faces, and recommendations for addressing US-German relations in NATO.
Piracy and robbery at sea, a threat to international security?
Authors: Petroni Raffaele
Published: December 2024

Acts of piracy and robbery at sea are often subjects of debate within the international community in the terms of how to contrast the phenomenon and prosecute the suspects.
The elements that determine piracy and operations against it are set by the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS), articles 101-105. It is generally accepted that these elements reflect customary law.
However, can piracy be considered a threat to international security? The former international judge Cassese clarifies that piracy is not an international crime as it does not possess the quality of shocking the conscience of mankind. The repression of this crime concerns the protection of trade and free navigation, not basic values of the international community.
What is the best way to prosecute acts of piracy and robbery at sea? The options available (prosecution in the state that arrest pirates, through a mixed or hybrid court, an international tribunal or an ad hoc state, e.g., Kenya)  are highly debated as different problems arise, regardless of the options that are chosen.
The international community, so far, has not had a univocal approach to the problem.
Crime and punishment: international security lessons from 1980s south Florida Haitian immigrants
Authors: Baez Amado
Published: December 2024

The uniquely distinct culture of Haitian immigrants led to important socio-economic challenges, discriminatory practices, and limited opportunities in 1980s Miami.
The socio-economic challenges faced by Haitian immigrants in the 1980s, including their susceptibility to involvement in crime networks, offer valuable lessons for addressing potential migration waves from Haiti to the US today. During the 1980s and 1990s, many Haitian immigrants encountered barriers to economic integration, leading some individuals to resort to participation in illicit activities for survival. The socio-economic challenges faced by Haitian immigrants in the 1980s, including their susceptibility to involvement in crime networks, offer valuable lessons for addressing potential migration waves from Haiti to the US today. The objective of this research paper is to explore the interconnected nature of crime, immigration, and social challenges faced by Haitian immigrants during the 1980s, shedding light on the historical context that laid the foundation for contemporary discussions on homeland security.
How have the PTI Government's taxation policies affected Pakistan's economic growth?
Authors: Rizvi Syeda Sehrish Shakir
Published: December 2024

This research focuses on the taxation system in Pakistan, with a particular emphasis on its legal aspects and tax policy structure. It also examines the challenges faced by the tax system and the efforts made by the current government to implement new tax policies. The study utilized unique data collected from various sources, such as the Federal Board of Revenue, the International Monetary Fund, the Federal Tax Ombudsman, and the State Bank of Pakistan. The data used in the study covers the period from 2008 to 2021. The research findings indicate that Pakistan's economy has faced significant challenges for many years, with low consumer confidence and reluctance among private investors to invest in new ventures. However, the first year of Imran Khan's government witnessed improved political stability, lacking during the previous governments of the Pakistan Muslim League Nawaz and Pakistan Peoples Party. Tax-based fiscal strategies have been considered less effective in addressing fiscal deficits in developing nations. To analyze the impact of the taxation policies implemented by the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaaf government, this study employed an interpretive approach and qualitative research methodology. Secondary sources were used, including observational research design and a sampling period covering 13 years. The study has revealed that reducing tax rates does not necessarily lead to a decrease in future net revenue collection. Instead, it benefits the socioeconomic well-being of the lower-income population, as it expands the tax base and ultimately increases net revenue as individuals move up the socioeconomic ladder. Overall, this research provides insights into Pakistan's taxation system, its challenges, and the potential impact of tax policies implemented by the current government.
Why North Korea will Likely Never Denuclearize
Authors: Gettel Christopher
Published: December 2024

North Koreas nuclear ambitions have become a complex and dangerous issue for international relations.  The best efforts of the international community have yielded few results as the rogue nations has tested ICBMs, nuclear warheads, and made increasing hostile threats.  Kim Jong Un’s grip on power is maintained by the belief of his constituents that only he is capable of defending them from invasion with the threat of nuclear war and that denuclearization would be viewed as capitulating to a hostile foreign power.  Denuclearizing would also leave North Koreas decrepit conventional military vulnerable to attack.  The situations of Muammar Ghaddafi and Saddam Hussein are examples of what Kim views of nations hostile to the West abandoning their unconventional deterrent.  Therefore, North Korea is unlikely to denuclearize because doing so would present existential domestic and international threats to the Kim regimes grip on power.
The Evolution of Therapists: Transitioning to Combat Supporters – Treating Victims of Terrorism
Authors: Chouraqui Elfassi Yaelle
Published: December 2024

Introduction
This article was written during the harrowing and relentless turmoil of the 'Iron Swords' war that engulfed the nation of Israel. This article aims to discuss ways of treating victims of terrorism: witnesses, wounded, and bereaved. This includes injured non-uniform-wearing soldiers, soldiers exposed to terror in direct combat against the enemy, special units of the Israel Defense Force (IDF), ZAKA (Disaster Victim Identification Organization) personnel, and the Forensic Identification Department personnel dealing with the alarming consequences of terrorism. The existence of various affected populations, as mentioned above, necessitates professionals—psychologists, social workers, as well as parents and families in constant contact with the victims who are exposed to complex content — and therefore acknowledge and specialize in multiple roles that are not conventional for them. For instance, when therapists are required to support and provide therapeutic care for soldiers in the midst of combat.
This article will address the stages of intervention for victims of terrorism, emphasizing the attempt to provide tangible tools for therapists and professional personnel in immediate contact with victims, civilians, and soldiers in combat or war zones. The focus will be on those accompanying victims in the initial stages and, subsequently, post-exposure to a terrorist event. Additionally, there will be consideration for civilian and combat witnesses, officials, wounded, and individuals who experienced loss and bereavement. The individuals mentioned above, civilians, soldiers, ZAKA personnel, etc., in this article will be referred to as witnesses and combatants due to their involvement in risky situations and combat.
Key issues to be discussed in the article will include witnessing terror event(s) and the shared traumatic reality for therapists and patients, the complexities of post-trauma adaptation in therapy, specific demands on professionals treating combatants and civilians under terrorist attack, and the appropriate timing for their treatment. Furthermore, the discussion will include how combatants and civilians respond within the treatment space, as well as addressing recovery time during active combat.
The author extends sincere gratitude to Dr. Hilla Lee Delorme for her invaluable assistance in translating this manuscript from its original Hebrew version.

Authors: Sebastián Esandi Iara , González González Lucía
Published: December 2024

The reduction of drug consumption is wanted. Prevailing the actual consumption of drugs is undesirable because of the risk that it supposes towards the health and well-being of individuals that are surrounded by that reality. The decrease of substance use is supported by the principles regarding Human Rights, such as the right to autonomy, health, safety, or freedom. The decriminalization of drugs is necessary to achieve a successful and healthy process of reduction of drug consumption. This is why Decriminalization must be implemented.

Student paper for Ethical dilemmas in Human Rights Interdisciplinary at Hanze University of Applied Sciences
The Legislation of Abortion in Poland
Authors: Dzhyhomon Iryna , Kemker Ilse
Published: December 2024

The criminalization of abortion in Poland, particularly following the Anti-Abortion Law of 1993, has sparked significant legal, ethical, and international debate. This paper explores the issue through a comprehensive analysis of Poland's legislative framework, the ethical implications of its restrictive abortion policies, and the consequences for women's mental and physical well-being. The legal framework, including the European Convention on Human Rights and the Charter of Fundamental EU Rights, is assessed to highlight the violations of women's rights to autonomy, health, equality, and dignity.
The report also delves into ethical principles, emphasizing the importance of self-determination and bodily autonomy in achieving gender equality. Addressing counterarguments and potential pitfalls of decriminalization, the paper presents constructive solutions, including legal reforms, public awareness campaigns, and international pressure. While Poland avoids direct contravention of EU law, its restrictive policies undermine fundamental human rights and exacerbate gender inequality.
The findings advocate for the legalization of abortion to align Polish legislation with international human rights standards and ethical principles, ensuring equitable access to reproductive healthcare and safeguarding the well-being of women.
The good Voice -Terror Witnessing: From Time of War to Time of Healing
Authors: Elfassi Yaelle
Published: December 2024

The land of Israel is currently navigating challenging and distressing times. The abrupt shift from the celebratory high holidays to the disturbing terror acts of Hamas has deeply affected a new, contemporary generation. This generation, accustomed to a strong sense of security and the comfort of life in the Jewish homeland, had hoped that any future conflict would involve a 'clean' cyber war fought from the safety of their own living rooms
The national memory, intertwined with the Yom Kippur War and the captives, revives a national trauma. The belief in our strength and the feeling that we would never again witness horrendous scenes shatters and reveals wounds that have yet to heal. Revisiting a time of warfare with Iron Swords and tanks, images of Jews suffering in inhumane conditions, not tolerated for their Judaism, even within their own land, is unsettling. The intensity of cruelty, the loss of basic moral principles, the slaughter of women, children, and infants, and scenes of horror—these transcend beyond the terrifying wounds inflicted upon us, causing severe disruptions in our perceptions and affects
In these days, we are all witnesses to terror and affected by it in one way or another. Within the framework of this article, I aim to depict the concept of ‘terror witnessing’, outline this experience in general terms, and propose appropriate intervention principles. In doing so, I will address the unique highlights of our current situation due to terror witnessing as an entire nation. This is to contribute, to the rapidly accumulating body of knowledge for the intervention and treatment of the numerous victims of the attack and war drawing from my research and therapeutic experiences.

Authors: Soley Berta , Marboeuf Hugo
Published: December 2024

This paper examines the implementation of the Global Standards on Rehabilitation (GSR) by members of the International Rehabilitation Council for Torture Victims (IRCT) and their impact on the quality of rehabilitation services provided to torture survivors. Methods: Qualitative and quantitative data were collected through surveys, post-training evaluations, and member feedback to assess the impact of the GSR on rehabilitation practices. Findings: Results show significant improvements, including more holistic rehabilitation, increased survivor participation, and stronger advocacy. Key challenges such as resource limitations, political barriers, and resistance to change were identified, alongside recommendations for future focus on survivor engagement, holistic support, and staff training.

Overcrowding in prisons: Health and legal implications
Authors: Nudd Eva , Aon Maha , Kambanella Kalliopi , Brasholt Marie
Published: December 2024

Introduction: Prison overcrowding can be defined in different ways, and no universal definition exists. More than 120 countries report prison occupancy rates above their own capacity. This paper provides an overview of legal and health implications of overcrowding, analyses potential causes, and provides examples of how different countries utilised non-custodial measures to reduce overcrowding to disseminate good practices as inspiration for other contexts. Methods: Desk study based on literature searches in medical (Pubmed and Medline) and legal sources, including Google Scholar on legal opinions, Global Lex and decisions of UN treaty bodies and regional human rights mechanisms supplemented by online searches for grey literature. In addition, examples from other countries were sought to corroborate and illustrate the points made. Results: A range of international standards exist that provide for the conditions and treatment of people in prisons to prevent prison overcrowding and protect them from its consequences. Nonetheless, overcrowding is persistent across many countries. It is often associated with violations of human rights, including, among others, the right to be free from torture and ill-treatment, the right to health, and the right to liberty and security. The underlying factors contributing to overcrowding vary and include, among others, overuse of imprisonment, excessive use of pre-trial detention, lack of access to a lawyer and underutilisation of non-custodial measures as an alternative to detention. Non-custodial measures can be applied throughout the criminal justice process, and some countries have successfully managed to reduce their prison populations by implementing such measures. Discussion: Overcrowding affects many aspects of prison life, impeding the provision of a humane and rehabilitative environment. Beyond the harm caused to persons in prisons, this may negatively impact society at large in terms of security, public health, and economy. Political will is essential in reducing prison overcrowding.

Authors: Khadzhi Aleksandr Sergeevich
Published: December 2024

The fuel and energy complex plays one of the main roles in the economy of any state. The provision of energy resources and the independence of the energy industry in the technological issue are also key elements of the country's national security system. In the context of dynamic global changes in the system of international relations affecting the energy sector, the state should clearly define priorities and directions for the development of energy policy. The correct identification of possible challenges and threats, an objective assessment of the state and analysis of market conditions will allow to adequately respond and adapt to the current situation, which in turn will contribute to sustainable socio-economic development. After 2022, Russia once again faced the need to adjust the course of energy development, given Russia's special place in the system of international energy security. Large-scale sanctions pressure, the redrawing of the supply geography and changes in relations with once traditional partners create the need to define new goals and objectives for the development of the industry, especially given the international situation.

Thus, the methodological basis of the research was made up of general scientific, historical and other methods used in such studies: in particular, the method of systematic and critical analysis, content analysis, etc. As part of the research, the article provides a comparative analysis of the main provisions concerning Russia's foreign energy policy, the factors influencing it, as well as key priorities and directions for the development of the fuel and energy sector, described in each version of the Russian Energy Strategy as a fundamental document in the field of energy policy regulation. The author formulates the main conclusions on the analysis of the key provisions of various versions of the strategic document, noting their inherent continuity in the field of Russia's foreign energy policy. The conclusion is drawn about a serious transformation over more than 20 years of state energy policy in terms of strategic planning for the development of the energy industry and, in particular, its international aspect. The key priorities are highlighted, and some features of their compilation are outlined.
Peculiarities of perception of the play "The Storm" and the image of the heroine in Fang Xin's translation
Authors: Shen Mengqi
Published: December 2024

The relevance of the study is determined by the core role of female characters in the dramatic world of A. N. Ostrovsky’s plays and the interest in studying the peculiarities of perception of Russian writers’ works by Chinese translators. The theme is the peculiarities of the translation reception of the image of the protagonist of the play “The Storm” by the Chinese translator, Fang Xin. The purpose of this study is to find out the peculiarities of perception of the play “The Storm” and the image of Katerina in Fangxin’s translation. To achieve the above research objectives, the following tasks should be solved: 1) analyze the main features of Fang Xin’s translation of the play “The Storm”; 2) examine the character traits of Katerina’s image in Fang Xin’s translation; 3) analyze the reasons for the peculiarities of Fang Xin’s perception of the heroine’s image of the play. The method of comparative analysis is used to solve these problems. Besides, the cultural-historical method is used to identify the reasons that influenced the Chinese translator’s perception of Katerina’s character image. The scientific novelty of the research lies in the fact that it is the first time to consider the peculiarities of Fang Xin’s perception of the heroine image of the play. As a result of the study, it was found that the translator retained all the lines of the characters. However, his translation emphasizes the heroine’s lack of freedom as well as the painful desire caused by it. In addition, he also emphasizes the love, death and the motif of “The Dark Kingdom”, which are closely related to Katerina’s image. What’s more, Fang Xin fully preserved the lyricism of Katerina’s image in this version of the translation. The interpretation of the heroine’s image is conditioned by Chinese history and literature.
Ativismo judicial e a proteção de grupos vulneráveis: uma análise crítica da efetivação dos direitos da personalidade pelo judiciário brasileiro
Authors: Volante Joaquim Pedro de Oliveira , Teixeira Rodrigo Valente Giublin
Published: December 2024

Este artigo aborda o papel fundamental do Poder Judiciário brasileiro quanto à proteção dos direitos da personalidade, com ênfase na atuação judicial em favor de minorias e grupos vulneráveis. A pesquisa tem como objetivo analisar criticamente como o Judiciário brasileiro, especialmente o Supremo Tribunal Federal (STF), tem atuado na defesa desses direitos, partindo-se da hipótese de que, embora desempenhe um papel progressista em diversas ocasiões, o Judiciário frequentemente prioriza interesses estatais em detrimento das populações vulneráveis. A metodologia utilizada consiste em uma pesquisa teórica, que emprega o método hipotético-dedutivo, tendo em vista que a hipótese inicial é testada por meio da análise de casos específicos, de revisão de literatura especializada e legislação pertinente, especialmente do Tema 885 do STF, da Ação Direta de Inconstitucionalidade (ADI) nº 3.104, a Reclamação Constitucional (RCL) nº 10.823 e do Recurso Extraordinário (RE) nº 1.276.977 (Tema 1102 do STF). Os principais resultados indicam que, embora o Judiciário tenha contribuído para a proteção dos direitos da personalidade, há uma tendência preocupante de favorecer a estabilidade financeira do Estado, o que impacta negativamente nos direitos das minorias.

A ocorrência de desastres naturais tem se tornado uma preocupação crescente em todo Brasil, especialmente em áreas propensas a eventos climáticos extremos. O município de São Mateus, que está localizado no norte do Estado do Espírito Santo, exemplifica essa problemática com uma combinação de fatores geográficos e socioeconômicos que amplificam os riscos de enchentes e deslizamentos de terra. Este artigo busca analisar a vulnerabilidade e a gestão de riscos associados a desastres naturais, com foco em enchentes e deslizamentos de terra, no município de São Mateus, visando identificar os principais fatores de risco, avaliar se as estratégias de gestão existentes são eficientes e propor o uso de Big Data, umas das principais ferramentas já adotadas em cidades consideradas inteligentes para a prevenção desses eventos. Elas podem auxiliar no monitoramento climático, no mapeamento de áreas vulneráveis e na integração de dados para uma gestão com medidas mais eficientes em casos de desastres. Para alcançar tal objetivo, é necessário identificar as áreas mais vulneráveis; analisar a eficácia das medidas de gestão de riscos adotadas pelo município e então propor melhorias nessa gestão baseadas na análise dos dados e na avaliação das práticas atuais. Por meio de pesquisas bibliográficas e documentais, é possível concluir que São Mateus possui alguns fatores geográficos, climáticos e socioambientais que contribuem para que se torne vulnerável a enchentes e deslizamentos de terra. O município possui algumas medidas de gestão e resposta eficientes, mas é necessário continuar investindo em infraestrutura, políticas de prevenção e conscientização para minimizar os impactos desses desastres e o uso de Big Data pode representar um grande salto para o município, otimizando a coleta e análise de informações, permitindo uma resposta mais ágil e eficaz às situações de risco e contribuindo para um planejamento urbano mais sustentável e adaptado às necessidades da comunidade.

Adenosarcoma of the uterus with Sarcomatous Overgrowth (SO) and Heterologous Elements (HE) is a rare and aggressive neoplasm that shares common clinical and radiological presentations. It is also referred to as Müllerian adenosarcoma, a slow-growing neoplasm characterised by a classical biphasic pattern comprising benign epithelial and malignant mesenchymal tissue. Adenosarcoma with a high-grade stromal component has an increased risk of recurrence. Hereby the authors present a case of 39-year-old female Who was nulliparous, reported to the Department of Obstetrics and Gynaecology with abdominal pain, menorrhagia, and burning micturition. Her medical history included diabetes, hypertension, hypothyroidism, and morbid obesity. She had a past history of similar complaints, during which an endometrial biopsy had shown hyperplasia without atypia. She was lost for follow-up and returned after one and a half years, having developed endometrial hyperplasia with atypia. She returned only after six months with similar but more severe complaints. Clinically and radiologically, there was a polypoidal mass protruding through the cervical canal. The hysterectomy specimen revealed a tumour with histopathological features of Müllerian adenosarcoma with SO. Interestingly, both ovaries were enlarged, exhibiting marked stromal hyperplasia. A panel of immunohistochemical markers, including CD10, Ki67, S-100, desmin, Estrogen Receptor (ER), and Progesterone Receptor (PR), was used, and the findings were unusual for an adenosarcoma with highgrade stromal histology. The chronological progression from endometrial hyperplasia without atypia to hyperplasia with atypia in a nulliparous woman, along with bilateral ovarian stromal hyperplasia, represents a classical pattern of events.

Anxiety, characterized by feelings of unease, worry, and fear, is a prevalent mental health condition among college students. Higher education institutions are facing a growing mental health crisis among their students. Recent studies have shown that mental health issues are increasingly prevalent in this population, with rates of anxiety, depression, and suicidal ideation on the rise. This review paper aims to explore the multifaceted nature of anxiety among college students. To address the mental health crisis in higher education, institutions must take a comprehensive approach that includes prevention, early intervention, and treatment. This may involve providing mental health training for faculty and staff, increasing access to mental health services and promoting mental health awareness and stigma reduction on campus. Additionally, it is important to create a supportive campus environment that fosters student well-being and resilience.  Addressing anxiety in higher education is a complex but necessary endeavor. Understanding anxiety factors and interventions' effectiveness can help institutions develop targeted strategies for student mental health support. By prioritizing mental health, institutions can create a more supportive and inclusive campus environment, empowering students to thrive academically and personally.

A series of selenazole, (selenazol-nitrone) and selenazine derivatives were synthesized. The reaction of arylselenocarboxamides with substituted α-halo carbonyl compounds, such as 3-chlorobutan-2-one, 1-chloropropan-2-one, 2-bromomalonaldehyde and 2-chloroacetyl chloride, afforded four cyclic compounds of substituted 2-aryl-1, 3-selenazole, while the reaction of aryl seleno carboxamides with substituted β-halo carbonyl compounds, such as 3-chloro-1-(4-chlorophenyl) propan-1-one and 3-chloro-1-phenylpropan-1-one, afforded two cyclic compounds of substituted 2-aryl-1, 3-selenazines. The reaction between 2-phenyl-1, 3-selenazole-5-carbaldehyde and N-4-fluorophenyl hydroxylamine afforded a compound of selenazole combined with nitrone. All synthesized compounds were characterized by FTIR, 1H NMR, 13C NMR and MASS spectroscopy. The results verified the expected chemical structures of synthesized compounds. MTT assay used to evaluate 1, 3-selenazine (S6), namely 2, 4-diphenyl-6H-1, 3-selenazine against human breast cancer MDA-MB231 with 24 and 48 h. Thus, compound S6 showed significant activity against breast cancer.

Testosterone plays a crucial role in various aspects of reproductive health and general well-being. Herbal extracts are commonly believed to have potential effects on testosterone levels. This study aimed to explore the impact of hot aqueous extracts of Cyperus esculentus latvum (tiger nuts) on testosterone levels and testicular histology in adult male Wistar rats. Ten adult male Wistar rats, each weighing between 100-150g, were divided into two groups (control and treatment), with five rats in each group. Both groups received daily oral administration of 100 mg/kg of hot aqueous extracts according to their assigned treatment for two weeks. After the trial, the rats were sacrificed, and blood and testes were collected for testosterone and histological analysis. T-test was used to compare the levels of each extract group to the control group with statistical significance set at p < 0.05. The results showed that there was no significant difference (p=0.23) in testosterone levels between the control group (0.85 ng/ml) and the tiger nut treated group (0.77 ng/ml). Histologically, tiger nut extract exhibited very sparse germinal epithelium with small spermatogonia and no recognizable spermatozoa in the tubular lumen. This study has demonstrated that at 100mg/Kg hot aqueous extract of tiger nut daily administration for 14days had no effect on testosterone level but rather had high level of declining testicular histology.
