Published: August 2022

Purpose: This research sought to investigate the substantial effects of private-sector lending on Nigeria's agricultural output by applying yearly time series data spanning 1981 to 2020.
Methodology: This study used time series design and Ex-post facto to analyse its data. The data were collected directly from Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) Statistical Bulletin and Annual Reports. The study used the Autoregressive distributed lag method (ARDL) for the analysis. It used the Autoregressive distributed lag model. The study's variables included agricultural productivity, which was utilized as a stand-in for rural development. Credit to the private sector, broad money supply, lending rate, exchange rate, government capital expenditure, and government capital expenditure were the control variables.
Findings: The findings showed that credit share to the private and lending rate hold a considerable negative impact on agricultural productivity in both the short-run and long-run period. Broad money supply, exchange rate, and government capital expenditure have positive and significant influences.
Recommendations: The study, therefore, recommends that by modifying the lending rate structure in the banking sector, a more accommodative monetary policy may foster an environment that is more conducive to investment, in order to boost agricultural production. Also, the Central Bank, in its function as the Federal Government's advisor, should take advantage of this platform to make sure that the nation's infrastructural problems are resolved in order to increase the country's capacity to absorb credit.

The Effect of Regulations on Stock Market Risk (Volatility) in Nigeria
Authors: Uhunmwangho Monday 
Published: August 2022

Recent regulations are directed at mitigating financial market risk, because risks, especially volatility dampen investors’ confidence, and hinder firms’ ability to raise funds at the exchange. Though, volatility had been investigated in the past, the joint utilization of micro and macro regulatory tools to address it after the global crisis is rare. It is on this backdrop that this study investigates the effect of regulations on stock market risk (volatility) in Nigeria. Thirteen interest charging banks listed in the Nigerian Exchange Limited for the period of 2010-2020 were investigated, because bank stocks are mostly traded at the exchange. Data for this study were collected from the banks’ annual reports, stock exchange official daily price lists as well as the Central Bank of Nigeria Statistical Bulletin various issues. The first difference generalized method of moments (DGMM) and the dynamic model were engaged in the investigation. Results of this study reveal that regulatory liquidity ratio and monetary policy rate positively and significantly impact stock market risk (volatility), while prescribe cash reserve ratio has negative and significant effects. The implication of this finding is that regulations except cash reserve instruments constitute frictions impacting equity market risk. Therefore, it is recommended that caution is exercised in the use of micro and macro regulatory weapons. Otherwise, investors’ confidence will decline and investments will reduce.

Authors: TASSOKER Melek , AKYÜZ Mehmet 
Published: August 2022

Aim All permanent teeth can remain impacted. Impacted teeth can remain in the jaw for years without showing any symptoms and causing a pathological event, and they can also cause neuralgiform pain, infection, teinporomandibular joint complaints, root resorption in neighboring teeth, and pathologies. Pericoronal radiolucency observed over 2.5 mm in radiographic imaging is suspicious. The aim of this study is to investigate the frequency of pericoronal radiolucency in impacted teeth examined on panoramic radiographs.
Methods The study was conducted by retrospectively examining panoramic radiographs of 1128 patients (633 females, 495 males) over the age of 18. Permanent impacted teeth with complete root development were included in the study, and primary teeth, mesiodens, supernumerary and supplemental impacted teeth were excluded from the study. Pericoronal radiolucency was recorded as 'present' in case of pericoronal radiolucency (>3 mm) associated with impacted permanent tooth on panoramic radiographs. SPSS v.21 (IBM Corp., Armonk, NY, USA) program was used to analyze the data.
Results The mean age of the individuals included in the study was 31±11 years (18-85). A total of 2247 impacted teeth from 1128 individuals were evaluated. Pericoronal radiolucency was detected in 208 impacted teeth (9.3%). There was a statistically significant relationship between gender and the frequency of pericoronal radiolucency (p

В статье рассматриваются результаты полевых работ 2018–2019 гг. Каракалпакско-Австралийской археологической экспедиции на городище Акшахан-кала – крупного памятника правобережного Древнего Хорезма (Республика Каракалпакстан, Узбекистан). Была исследована внутренняя предвратная часть юго-восточных ворот с продолжением на главную улицу городища, в результате которого выяснилось, что от ворот спускается пандус длиной 15 м. Внутренний пандус соединяется с главной улицей городища, которая ведет к центральному храму. Строительство пандуса происходило в один период со строительством крепостных стен, и на городище имелись входной и выходной пандусы. В предыдущие сезоны раскопок исследователи предполагали наличие пандуса в предвратном лабиринте, но результаты последних работ подтвердили данную гипотезу. Наличие пандуса в предвратном лабиринте юго-восточных ворот и внутреннем пространстве Верхнего города является своеобразной строительной конструкцией, которая на данный момент не была зафиксирована в градостроительстве Древнего Хорезма. Также при раскопках удалось определить размер и стратиграфию главной улицы. Весь керамический материал раскопа представлен античной керамикой Хорезма, которая датируется II в. до н.э. и II–IV вв. н.э.

Authors: Singh Ajeet Pal , Sharma Ashish Kumar , Singh Thakur Gurjeet 
Published: August 2022

Upregulation of Src kinase plays a important role in alcohol addiction, so pharmacological modulation of Src kinase with SU6656 a selective inhibitor, may play a prominent in pharmacotherapy in alcohol dependence induced withdrawal syndrome. Experimental approach: Administration of Alcohol (2 g/kg, 10%, v/v, oral), once daily for 7 days. Assessment of behavioral parameters and exploratory parameters was done on 7 day after 8 hr. of the last ethanol administration for a period of 120 minutes. Various behavioural parameters were conducted like wall climbing test, composite withdrawal severity score, anxiety like behaviour assessed in open field and elevated plus test. Treatment with SU-6656 (1, 5 & 10 mg/kg, i.p.) markedly and dose dependently (p<0.05) attenuated spontaneous alcohol withdrawal syndrome in mice measured in terms of withdrawal severity score, wall climbing, locomotor sensitization by open field test and anxiety. Thus, it is suggested that activation of Src kinase pathway is involved in the development of alcohol dependence induced withdrawal syndrome. Modulation of src kinase may be used as therapeutic agent to overcome the problems related with alcohol dependence.

Published: August 2022

Background: Male fertility is affected by the metabolic and hormonal dysregulation brought on by Diabetes Mellitus, a metabolic illness, particularly in the hypothalamus-pituitary testicular axis. However, there is little proof that endocrinopathy causes diabetic men's infertility and low testosterone levels. It is well established that Type 2 Diabetes causes dyslipidemia & obesity by lowering serum testosterone levels. However, there isn't much research on DHT, the most potent androgen, and its relationship to male lipid profiles. Methods: The study was carried out at Teerthanker Mahaveer Medical College and Research Centre, Moradabad, in the Department of Physiology and Medicine & Department of Physiology Santosh Medical College, Ghaziabad. A total of 210 samples—105 from type 2 diabetics and 105 from controls—were included in the study. Using conventional biochemical techniques, Lipid parameters [HDL, LDL, VLDL &TC], serum DHT, Data analysis was done with SPSS 26. [ trial version]. Results: The levels of serum dihydrotestosterone were significantly lower in diabetic cases than in healthy controls [439.26 ± 257.87pg/ml vs 230.66 ± 182.02pg/ml, p=0.001]. 90 percent of Type 2 diabetics were found to have subnormal levels, as opposed to just 10 percent of controls.

Authors: Rawal Gautam , Yadav Sankalp , Rajamma Sujana 
Published: August 2022

Spindle cell carcinoma of the lung is a rare, aggressive lung malignancy (non-small cell carcinoma) with a poor prognosis. This tumor accounts for approximately 0.4% of all lung malignancies, and due to its rarity, standard therapy is yet to be established for its management and treatment. The prevalence of this tumor is more common in males as compared to females (ratio of 4:1) and usually occurs in the sixth/seventh decade of life, more so in smokers. The authors report a case of a 79-year-old male patient who was incidentally detected and diagnosed with this rare lung carcinoma proven with a lung biopsy.
