ABSTRACT
Vultures promote ecosystem health by removing waste (carcasses) and pathogens from the environment but they are experiencing a serious decline globally. Vulture population decline is large in Nigeria, despite various conservation efforts. We investigated vulture abundance across the 17 local government areas of Plateau State, central Nigeria, in 2017 and 2024. We recorded only two species of vultures in 2017, and only one species, Hooded Vulture (Necrosyrtes monachus), in 2024. The median number of vultures recorded per site was 4.06 ± 7.99 in 2017 and 0.26 ± 1.49 in 2024, a 94% decline in 7 yr. Numbers of adult Hooded Vultures decreased 94% and numbers of immatures decreased 95%. This study revealed an urgent conservation crisis for vultures in Plateau State, which is similar to that in most states in northern Nigeria. Based on anecdotal information from local residents and visits to markets, this decline is most likely attributable to the widespread trade in vulture parts for belief-based use. Other threats include food scarcity due to competition among scavengers at abattoirs and dump sites. Immediate conservation actions, including habitat protection, anti-poaching campaigns, and public awareness initiatives, are critical for conservation of vultures in Plateau State. Continued monitoring and research for developing effective conservation strategies and enforcement of laws protecting threatened species are necessary for long-term protection of vulture populations.

AimsTo follow disease progression in a rat model of Type 2 diabetes using multimodal MRI to assess changes in brain structure and function.Material and methodsFemale rats (n = 20) were fed a high fat/high fructose diet or lab chow starting at 90 days of age. Diet fed rats were given streptozotocin to compromise pancreatic beta cells, while chow fed controls received vehicle. At intervals of 3, 6, 9, and 12 months, rats were tested for changes in behavior and sensitivity to pain. Brain structure and function were assessed using voxel based morphometry, diffusion weighted imaging and functional connectivity.ResultsDiet fed rats presented with elevated plasma glucose levels as early as 3 months and a significant gain in weight by 6 months as compared to controls. There were no significant changes in cognitive or motor behavior over the yearlong study but there was a significant increase in sensitivity to peripheral pain in diet fed rats. There were region specific decreases in brain volume e.g., basal ganglia, thalamus and brainstem in diet fed rats. These same regions showed elevated measures of water diffusivity evidence of putative vasogenic edema. By 6 months, widespread hyperconnectivity was observed across multiple brain regions. By 12 months, only the cerebellum and hippocampus showed increased connectivity, while the hypothalamus showed decreased connectivity in diet fed rats.ConclusionsNoninvasive multimodal MRI identified site specific changes in brain structure and function in a yearlong longitudinal study of Type 2 diabetes in rats. The identified diabetic-induced neuropathological sites may serve as biomarkers for evaluating the efficacy of novel therapeutics.
Unveiling the synergistic effect of icariin and azole drugs on Candida albicans
Authors: Aliaghazadeh Barbod , Pascual-Ortiz Marina , Martínez Alba , Veses Veronica , Sheth Chirag C. 
Published: February 2025

Introduction and MethodThe current study explores the synergistic effects of icariin, a flavonoid found in plants of the genus Epimedium, in ombination with selected antifungal agents, against Candida albicans in vitro.ResultsThis flavonoid significantly enhanced the in vitro effect of fluconazole, by decreasing the minimum inhibitory concentration against C. albicans. This effect was also observed when combining icariin with ketoconazole and itraconazole of the azole family respectively. Interestingly, no activity-enhancing effect was observed when icariin was combined with other classes of antifungals, such as amphotericin B or caspofungin.DiscussionWe conclude that icariin may increase the sensitivity of C. albicans to azoles via a cell membrane mediated mechanism, based on our results from FUN-1 microscopy and coincubation with cell wall and cell membrane stressors. Further research is required to explore these effects in clinical isolates, particularly fluconazole-resistant C. albicans, with a view towards the clinical application of icariin as a co-adjuvant in antifungal azole therapy.

Piston-like design of surface acoustic wave resonators for suppression of longitudinal mode resonances
Authors: Yang Zijiang , Wu Ting , Bao Jing-Fu , Hashimoto Ken-ya 
Published: February 2025

Abstract
This paper discusses the applicability of the piston mode design to the suppression of longitudinal mode (LM) resonances in surface acoustic wave (SAW) resonators. It is shown that LMs below the main mode (MM) resonance can be suppressed well by modulating the finger periodicities of reflectors and the interdigital transducer (IDT) properly. Then, modulating the metallization ratio (MR) is also discussed. It is shown that setting larger MR to the reflectors than the IDT enables us to extend the separation between the MM antiresonance and the upper stopband edge of the reflectors. Finally, the impact of tapering the reflector outer edges is discussed. It is shown that the LMs above the reflector stopband can be also suppressed well in addition to those below the reflector stopband without sacrificing the other resonator performances.
The Influence of Colonial Economic Policies on Agricultural Development in Independent Kenya: 1954 To 1992
Authors: Samoei Basiliano , Opondo Paul , Kurgat Paul 
Published: February 2025

Historical and contemporary evidence indicates that the colonial government did not make a large-scale effort to develop African agriculture before the 1950s. The emergent African Land Utilization Scheme (ALUS) of 1946 later renamed the African Land Development Board (ALDEV) policy in 1947 objectively focused on ‘communalism’ as agricultural philosophical thought and tackled emerging issues of land usage crisis, land degradation and resettlement to reduce the strain on land. The first large-scale comprehensive post-war colonial plan for promoting African agricultural development was titled the 'Swynnerton Plan' of 1954 called for the intensification of land use in African areas. It was later supplemented by the Land Development and Settlement Board (LDSB) schemes of 1961 – 62, which addressed emerging land issues in addition to integrating Africans into the capitalist economy. This colonial agricultural policy sought to improve African agriculture development through large-scale commercialization of smallholder mixed-farming but failed to achieve the desired objectives in independent Kenya as farmers regressed to subsistence levels. Thus, the study evaluated the economic influence of colonial agricultural policy on Ndalat Settlement Scheme, Nandi County, Kenya. The study adopted a historical descriptive design with a sample size of 32 key informants conveniently sampled from 18 farmers, four cooperative officials, five pioneering settlement officials, two Ministry of Agriculture officials and three retired agricultural officers. Interviews were the main research instrument supplemented by archival and government policy documents. The findings indicated that the Ndalat settlement scheme was part of the colonial LDSB initiatives to resettle the landless Nandi people based on a loan facility under the Her Majesty Government scheme (assisted-owner schemes). The scheme was experimental in design and involved a resettlement programme from scratch. The scheme economically influenced the settlers by integrating them into the capitalist economy through land use intensification and commercialization of smallholding mixed farming systems (milk and maize) of 15 acres. Other important economic influences include; the institutionalized usage of statutory regulatory and marketing boards, individualization of land tenure, promotion of agrarian revolution, raising the economic productivity of land and institutionalization of cooperative societies as marketing agents. The study concluded that the policy largely failed to commercialize smallholding farming systems and ensure the continued subjugation to metropolitan London. The study recommends that the government rewrite a new agricultural policy to promote high-value crops, land intensification techniques and value-creation processing of crops..

Introduction. The key reason for the deterioration of housing stock and production assets in the Arctic zone and the permafrost zone of Russia lies in deformation induced by changes in the mechanical properties of permafrost soils. These changes are exacerbated by the impact of global warming. The Federal Service for Hydrometeorology and Environmental Monitoring reported in 2023 that the air temperature rose by 0.5 °C per decade. Such processes necessitate the development and implementation of measures to enhance the construction properties of building bases and foundations.Aim. To develop measures for restoring the serviceability of bases and foundations of buildings and structures in the areas of permafrost soils.Materials and methods. Theoretical studies were based on a review and analysis of contemporary scientific, technical, regulatory, and methodological literature concerning soil stabilization and foundation reinforcement, as well as archival data on the causes of base and foundation deformations.Results. The advantages, disadvantages, and areas of application of existing methods are presented. Promising technologies requiring further investigation are identified, including electrochemical thawing and consolidation of soils, injection and jet grouting as well as the use of bored cast-in-situ and augercast piles for foundation reinforcement. The study outlines the results of generalization and analysis of research and development work on inspection and monitoring of the technical condition of critical buildings and structures in the cities of nine regions that are part of the Arctic zone of Russia (Murmansk Region, Republic of Karelia, Arkhangelsk Region, Komi Republic, Nenets Autonomous Okrug, Yamalo-Nenets Autonomous Okrug, Krasnoyarsk Territory, Republic of Sakha (Yakutia), and Chukotka Autonomous Okrug).Conclusions. The literature analysis underlay the development of measures for restoring the serviceability of bases and foundations of buildings and structures in the Arctic zone of Russia. These measures include general provisions, recommendations for assessing the technical condition of buildings and systems for thermal stabilization of soils, engineering surveys during reconstruction, foundation reinforcement, soil stabilization at their bases, monitoring of reconstructed buildings, and quality control of work performed.
An evaluation of church planting models in contemporary Pentecostal missions enterprise in Ghana
Authors: Kenin Emmanuel A. 
Published: February 2025

Background: Over the centuries, various generations have used various models to not only evangelise people but organise them in communities of believers (or churches) for effective discipleship of these Christian converts as commanded by Jesus Christ. The various church planting models employed by mission organisations and churches have served different purposes at different times. A major hindrance to the church planting enterprise of missional churches is inadequate human resources. This is especially profound in the rural and peri-urban areas where the scourge of the impact of rural-urban migration is felt most. This phenomenon tends to put a limitation on the availability of human capital for the successful manning of newly planted churches. In most of these places, the common mantra among church planters and missionaries is ‘we lack leaders here so we are unable to plant more churches’.Objectives: This research evaluates the various church planting models in the Church of Pentecost and proposes an indigenous model for planting Indigenous local churches and raising indigenous leaders for the same.Method: This research employs participant observation, review of church reports as well as personal conversations with mission practitioners in the rural and peri-urban areas of Ghana.Results: The Jesus Mission Model (JMM) proposed by this research seeks to proffer a contextual solution for challenges confronting church planting efforts in rural and peri-urban areas of Ghana.Conclusion: The model proposed in this research addresses the challenge of raising indigenous leaders for sustainable indigenous churches in Ghana’s rural and peri-urban areas.Contribution: The study proposes a contextualised church planting model, the JMM for rural and peri-urban areas in Ghana.

Published: February 2025

Background: Early post-operative intraocular pressure (IOP) control following Baerveldt tube (BVT) implant is critical, especially in cases with advanced glaucoma.Aim: This study aimed to review the efficacy and safety of a releasable wick suture for early control of post-operative IOP in patients implanted with a 350 mm2 BVT.Setting: This study is a retrospective chart review of all patients implanted with BVT and a releasable 9–0 Vicryl wick placement, performed under one surgeon.Methods: Efficacy data of IOP and number of glaucoma medications were collected pre-operatively and on post-operative day 1 and weeks 1, 4, 6, 8 and 12. Safety, visual acuity and wick removal data were also collected.Results: The utilisation of a releasable wick suture with BVT implantation gives early post-operative IOP control and fewer medications day 1 post-operatively. The IOP and number of medications significantly decreased at each time point while the visual acuity did not significantly change compared to the pre-operative level after 12 weeks in the total population. Mean IOP of patients with wick removal increased in hypotony cases and decreased in high pressure cases. There was no difference in terms of safety profile between cases with wick remaining and wick removal.Conclusion: The use of a releasable wick suture with BVT implantation gives early IOP control with fewer glaucoma medications in the first three post-operative months and the option of suture removal when IOP is too high or low.Contribution: The study introduced a novel method for early IOP control after BVT implant.
