The Role of Gut Microbiota in Obesity
Authors: Durma Anna Celina , Durma Adam Daniel , Smialowski Adam , Czupryniak Leszek 
Published: March 2024

Abstract
Obesity is a disease which is currently one of the most serious problems affecting approximately 650 million people worldwide. Improper lifestyle is considered the primary cause of the disease; however, many other factors contribute to the problem. In recent years, attention has been drawn to the role of gut microbiota in developing and controlling obesity and overweight. Microorganisms in the gastrointestinal tract are responsible for the fermentation of certain nutrients, causing efficient digestion, stimulation of intestinal transit, vitamin production, and modulation of the host’s immune system. Numerous studies have demonstrated that gut microbiota composition differs between obese individuals and those with a normal body mass index (BMI). It has also been shown that altering gut microbiota can influence the phenotype of the host organism, promoting metabolic changes, including BMI reduction. Recent studies aimed at using probiotics to modify gut microbiota composition to reduce body weight are still inconclusive.

Authors: Yussuff, Rukayat Omobolanle  
Published: March 2024

The study investigated the sustainability of external debt on economic development in Nigeria from 1990-2021 using secondary data sourced from CBN publications. Descriptive statistics, OLS regression, unit root test, and appropriate length criteria were used to ensure the reliability and validity of the model. The model was estimated using ARDL. The unit root test (ADF) shows that GDP, debt growth (DEG) and export debt ratio (EXR) are stationary at level I(o) while domestic debt (DOD), export (EXP), external debt (EXD), debt overhang (DO) are stationary at first difference I(1). The ECM shows that the short-run disequilibrium is corrected at a speed of 75.7% and that the economy will fully adjust to its long-run equilibrium after 2 years. The ARDL of the estimated parameters that the explanatory variables explained about 76% variation in the dependent variable and the whole model was found to be statistically significant (P = 0.000).
The result indicated that external debt and debt overhang have a negative effect on sustainable development in Nigeria. The study recommends improvement in debt management, increasing internally generated revenue, revenue, prioritising investment for sustainable development, and negotiating favorable loan terms.

Authors: Kazmi Syyed Ali Raza , Ali Maujood 
Published: March 2024

Purpose: This study compares developed and developing market stocks during the Russia-Ukraine crisis, a time of high geopolitical tensions. Economic downturns are complicated by geopolitical, financial, and natural disasters. A relevant case study to analyze equities market divergence under geopolitical uncertainty.
Design/Methodology/Approach: This research quantifies stock market indexes, daily returns, and volatility indicators using historical financial data. Performance indicators, volatility patterns, and risk-return characteristics are compared across established and developing market stocks. The analysis seeks to determine if geopolitical tensions during the war increased market volatility and to understand market segment reactions. The analysis uses cumulative returns, average returns, standard deviations, volatility indexes, and the Sharpe ratio.
Findings: It is found that clear geopolitical tensions during the crisis affected market volatility differently in established and new economies. This is because industrialized economies are financially stronger than developing ones. The Sharpe ratio allowed detailed market sector comparisons of risk-adjusted returns. This comparison showed investors' possible trade-offs between rewards and dangers.
Implications/Originality/Value: These findings affect investors seeking educated strategies, politicians creating effective actions, and market participants managing risks. This research improves decision-making and risk management amid economic volatility by evaluating geopolitical events and stock market behaviors.

Sand and gravel mining are amongst the main factors that induces significant impacts on environment, as a result of growing need for building materials and as a source of income for rural communities. This study was conducted to assess the socio-economic and environmental effects of these activities in Maroua, Cameroon. Its objectives include a description of artisanal mining method and identification of its socio-economic and environmental impacts. The study was conducted in a multidisciplinary approach. During the fieldwork, data were collected using questionnaires and focused group discussions were undertaken with those responsible for managing natural resources in the that area. The results reveal that sand mining activity alter river morphology at a faster rate than normal river process, where river reduction of the extraction areas is significantly larger. These activities were responsible for quick resource depletion and adversely affecting the environment and causing disturbances such as, ecological balance, soil degradation, pollution, infrastructure destruction, as well as conflict between miners and communities. Despite the negative impacts, mining activities generate income for all parties involved in the value chain, including the government. Accordingly, based on the research results, there are concerns about sustainable extraction practices by implementing strict rules and government policies.
