Published: November 2022

Alambusha (Biophytum sensitivum) belonging to the family oxalidaceae, commonly known as Mukkutti, is mostly found in marshy regions of south India, abundantly seen during rainy season. It is known as the “Small Tree Plant” with sensitive leaflets and bright yellow circular small flowers resembles like a tree in its texture and looks. The phytochemistry of B.sensitivum showed a wide range of chemical compounds, such as, two biflavones, three flavonoids and two acids. The plant is described in Ayurvedic classics, by Nighantu Acharyas, as Krimighna herb. The plant, is traditionally believed to exhibit antioxidants, anti-inflammatory and anti-tumor activity, radioprotection, immune-modulation, antibacterial, wound-healing, hypoglycemic actions. B.sensitivum has been used as traditional medicine for several purposes such as expectorant, stimulant, and tonic. It is recommended to be used in the treatment of stomach ache, asthma, treating insomnia, convulsions, cramps, chest complaints, inflammations, wound infections, tumors, and remedying chronic skin diseases. In the present review, all the available sources regarding the plant B. sensitivum was highlighted in a bird eye view

A substantial number of clinical trials either understudies or in the planning stage focused on sickle cell disease. Sickle cell traits are often considered asymptomatic and the silent condition is associated with diverse complications.
Objective: To clinically evaluate the safety and effectiveness of T-AYU-HM Premium Tablets (300mg) in sickle cell anemia patients: an observational retrospective study
Methodology: This is a single-arm case-control retrospective study of sickle cell trait patients admitted to Dhanvantari Clinic from 2018 to 2020. Patients' vital and clinical information based on inclusion and exclusion criteria were collected and analyzed using SPSS software.
Result: A total of 100 patients with sickle cell traits were included in the study. The treatment exhibited significant improvement was seen in (P<0.05) in hemoglobin and red blood corpuscles. There wasn’t any untoward response either from the patient or from laboratory parameters reported indicating no adverse effects were seen. There was an absolute improvement in overall health as a reduction of no of time hospitalization (0) and blood transfusion (0) in sickle cell trait patients. There was a significant improvement in minor and major clinical parameters of sickle cell trait patients.
Conclusion: The effect of T-AYU-HM Premium treatment in sickle cell trait patients suggests it is safe and effective. There was no adverse effect observed in the observational study. During entire study period, no single blood transfusion or hospitalization required. The significant improvement in the rate and frequency of painful crises indicates an improvement in pain-related quality of life in patients. This treatment of T-AYU-HM Premium was safe, cost-effective, and exhibit therapeutic potential in the management of sickle cell trait patients
Bangkitnya Islam Radikal dan Nasionalisme: Studi tentang Gerakan Islam Wahabi
Authors: Aritonang Arthur 
Published: November 2022

This article describes the contemporary phenomenon in which Muslims in Indonesia since the reform era have been indicated by the ideology of Wahhabism from the Middle East. From the beginning, one of the goals of NU's presence as the largest moderate Islamic organization in Indonesia and the world was to anticipate the inclusion of Wahhabism, which at that time was already widespread in the Middle East. During the new order radical Islamic character organizations did not have a place in this country but after the fall of the new order regime and then entered the era of reform (democracy and freedom of expression) radical-colored Muslims see this as a great opportunity whose basis is as governed by the Law namely the right to establish community organizations or political parties. This opportunity is used to build organizations in the name of Islam and then spread the doctrine of Wahhabism in Indonesia by building mosques, entering several pesantren, and even some Universitas in Indonesia have been exposed to radicalism. The activity was entirely sponsored by Saudi Arabia but not by the Saudi Arabian government. Therefore, the ideology of Wahhabism is clearly contrary to Pancasila and the spirit of nationalism because it actually endangers the existence of fellow Muslims, Christianity and other religions in Indonesia.AbstrakArtikel ini menguraikan fenomena kontemporer dimana umat Islam di Indonesia sejak era reformasi telah terindikasi oleh faham wahabisme dari Timur Tengah. Sejak semula, salah satu tujuan dari kehadiran NU sebagai organisasi Islam moderat terbesar di Indonesia maupun dunia, yaitu mengantisipasi masuknya faham wahabisme yang ketika itu sudah menyebar luas di Timur Tengah. Semasa orde baru organisasi Islam berwatak radikal tidak mendapat tempat di negeri ini, namun setelah tumbangnya rezim orde baru dan kemudian memasuki era reformasi (demokrasi dan kebebasan bereskpresi) umat Islam yang berwatak radikal melihat ini sebagai peluang besar yang dasarnya ialah sebagaimana yang diatur oleh Undang-Undang, yaitu hak untuk mendirikan organisasi kemasyarakat atau pun partai politik. Peluang ini dimanfaatkan untuk membangun organisasi yang mengatasnamakan Islam, kemudian menyebarkan doktrin wahabisme di Indonesia dengan cara membangun masjid, masuk ke beberapa pesantren, bahkan beberapa Universitas di Indonesia sudah terpapar radikalisme. Kegiatan tersebut seluruhnya disponsori oleh Arab Saudi, tetapi bukan berasal dari pemerintah Arab Saudi. Oleh karenanya, faham wahabisme jelas bertentangan dengan Pancasila dan semangat nasionalisme, sebab ini justru membahayakan bagi eksistensi sesama Islam, kekristenan dan agama-agama lainnya di Indonesia.

Published: November 2022

In social life, we are faced with various cultures. One of them is the culture of toxic masculinity. This toxic masculinity culture actually has a significant impact on men's mentality, even though at a glance the main signs such as power, control, and violence at first glance give these men their own prestige. The impact of toxic masculinity is not only felt by men, but also by women as victims. This study wants to examine the issue of toxic masculinity from a social and biblical perspective by using a literature study approach. The results obtained are Toxic masculinity is a culture that must be abolished in social life, both within the scope of social society and the church. The wrong paradigm in society about masculinity certainly cannot be overcome by eliminating the responsibility of men as they should be, and also replacing it with feminism. Gender-based behavior should be avoided and replaced with behavior based on beneficial values. Within the scope of the church itself, may gender-based ministry be eliminated, because God himself has never distinguished His people based on gender differences. AbstrakDalam kehidupan bermasyarakat, kita diperhadapkan dengan beragam budaya. Salah satunya adalah budaya toxic maskulinity. Budaya toxic masculinity ini ternyata memberikan dampak yang cukup signifikan terhadap mental laki-laki, walaupun secara kasat mata tanda-tanda utama seperti kekuasaan, kontrol, maupun kekerasan sekilas memberikan prestise tersendiri bagi kaum adam tersebut. Dampak dari toxic masculinity ini bukan hanya dirasakan oleh laki-laki, tetapi juga perempuan sebagai korban-nya. Penelitian ini ingin mengkaji isu tentang toxic masculinity dari perspektif sosial dan Alkitab dengan menggunakan pendekatan studi literatur. Hasil yang didapat adalah Toxic masculinity adalah budaya yang harus dihapuskan dalam kehidupan bermasyarakat, baik dalam ruang lingkup masyarakat sosial maupun gereja. Paradigma yang salah dalam masyarakat tentang maskulinitas tentunya tidak bisa diatasi dengan menghilangkan tanggung jawab laki-laki sebagaimana mestinya, dan juga mengganti-nya dengan feminisme. Perilaku berbasis gender sebaiknya dihindarkan dan diganti dengan perilaku berdasarkan nilai-nilai yang bermanfaat. Dalam ruang lingkup gereja sendiri, kiranya pelayanan berba-sis gender dihilangkan, karena Allah sendiripun tidak pernah membedakan umat-Nya berdasarkan perbedaan gender.

Each tribe and belief adopted from various regions has its own way of expressing its culture and beliefs, which can be seen from the way the community performs ritual events as a tradition in each tribe regarding the culture and beliefs they hold. The writing in this paper uses literature research where the research method is carried out with a descriptive qualitative approach and hopes that the people on Nias Island view every tradition that exists on Nias Island from a Christian point of view and can provide an understanding that every tradition on Nias Island, has a very beautiful and unique meaning, and invites the people of Nias to always maintain, develop and preserve the existing culture based on Bible truth. AbstrakSetiap suku dan kepercayaan yang dianut dari berbagai daerah memiliki tata cara tersendiri dalam mengungkapkan kebudayaan dan kepercayaannya yang dapat dilihat dari cara masyarakat melakukan acara ritual sebagai tradisi di setiap suku yang menyangkut kebudayaan dan kepercayaan yang dianut. Penulisan dalam paper ini, dengan menggunakan penelitian pustaka dimana metode penelitian ini dilakukan dengan pendekatan kualitatif deskriptif dan berharap masyarakat di Pulau Nias memandang setiap tradisi yang ada di Pulau Nias dari sudut pandang ke Kristenan serta dapat memberikan pemahaman bahwa setiap tradisi yang ada di Pulau Nias, memiliki makna yang sangat indah dan unik, serta mengajak masyarakat Nias untuk selau menjaga, mengembangkan dan melestarikan budaya yang ada berdasarkan pada kebenaran Alkitab.
The Effect of Corporate Income Tax on FDI Inflow in the Mining Sector in Tanzania
Authors: Mkonyi Gasto 
Published: November 2022

Purpose: Tanzania is one of the mineral-rich countries giving corporate income tax (CIT) concessions to encourage foreign direct investment (FDI). Tanzania's mining industry remains enticing to investors, owing to its expanding diversity. This paper assesses the impact of corporate income tax in the mining sector for the period of 1990 – 2020. The paper also sought to analyse the impact of other determinants of FDI namely, Political stability, Human capital and infrastructure on FDI inflow in the mining sector.
Methodology: The study utilized secondary annual time series data collected from the World Bank (WB), Bank of Tanzania (BOT), and Foundation for Studies and Research on International Development (FERDI). The Autoregressive Distribution of Lags (Ardl) estimating approach was used to analyse the short-run and long-run relationship between FDI and corporate income tax as well as the aforementioned variables.
Findings: A negative relationship between corporate income Tax and FDI inflow in the mining sector was confirmed. Thus, portraying both short-run and long-run effects of corporate income tax on FDI inflow in the mining sector.
Unique Contribution to Theory, Practice and Policy: To encourage and increase FDI inflow in the mining sector, the government of Tanzania requires concerted efforts with relevant authorities that will ensure a fair moderation of corporate income Tax which will in turn increase tax compliance. The concerted efforts carter for factors linked with FDI inflow such as corporate income tax, political stability, human capital quality, and infrastructure. These factors align concurrently with the eclectic paradigm which is the anchoring theory of the study.
Relationship Between Public Debt And Financial Development In Kenya
Authors: Kipyego Samwel , Njoka Charity , Muniu Joseph 
Published: November 2022

Purpose: This study sought to analyze the relationship between public debt and financial development in Kenya. The specific objectives were to examine the association between public domestic debt and financial development, to analyze the connexion between public external debt and Kenya's financial development. The study was underpinned on Financial Repression, Financial Liberalization, Lazy Bank Hypothesis, Demand following hypothesis, and the MacKinnon theoretical model.
Methodology: The study applied positivism philosophy and explanatory research design. The study used country data hence no need for sampling. Data was collected for 1964 to 2019 from Kenya's Central Bank. Descriptive and inferential statistics were used in the study. Diagnostic tests such as Multi-collinearity, Auto-correlation, Normality, and Unit root were performed. Specifically, the long-run and short-run relationships were analyzed using the Auto-Regressive Distributive lag (ARDL) bound test for cointegration. An error correction model was applied to examine the short-run association.
Finding: The test suggested the presence of a stable long-run relationship between financial development, public domestic debt, public external debt, and interest rate. The study finding indicates that public domestic debt has a statistically significant negative relationship with Kenya's financial development both in the long and short run. Also, public external debt has a statistically significant positive long and short-run association with financial development.
Unique Contribution to Theory, Practice and Policy: The affirms liberalization theory by Shaw and Mackinnon (1973), advocating for a reduction in direct government participation in the financial market credit restriction In addition the study's findings are consistent with the lazy bank hypothesis by Hauner (2009) In addition, the government must ensure appropriate market-determined interest rate must be applied in domestic public debt. Furthermore, the government should continue fostering financial liberalization policies that encourage public external debt has its impacts positively on financial development.

The Contemporary Deconstruction of Religion: How Current Scholarship in Religious Studies is Changing Methods and Theories
Authors: Goldenberg Naomi 
Published: November 2022

My paper has 3 goals: 1) to introduce and outline the field of ‘critical religion’; 2) to set out my contribution to this field by explaining how and why religions should be considered ‘vestigial states’; and 3) to suggest ways in which the approach to the topic of religious synthesis in India might be influenced by critical religion in general and vestigial state theory in particular. I argue that ‘religion’ as an ahistorical, eternal, indefinable category –what Roland Barthes called ‘depoliticized’ speech –warrants energetic critique. To this end, I survey a variety of theorists whose work deconstructs ‘religion’ and attendant binaries such as religious/secular and religion/politics. I maintain that religions function as vestigial states within contemporary states. By ‘vestigial states’ I mean practices and institutions originating in particular histories as survivals of former sovereignties. These remnants are tolerated as attenuated jurisdictions within fully functioning states. These vestigial states (religions) are always somewhat problematic because they compete with contemporary states - especially if they challenge the present state’s right to control violence. However, religions also work to ground the governments that authorize them by recalling earlier, mystified forms of sovereignty. Moreover, religions are useful because they can be depicted as less progressive versions of power. Thus do ‘religions’, understood as vestigial states, both disturb and maintain current regimes. I conclude with some speculations on how insights derived from critical religion might impact work on conceptualizing ‘religious synthesis’ in India specifically and ‘interreligious’ interactions more generally in a global context.
Through the Looking Glass:
Authors: Frøystad Kathinka 
Published: November 2022

In spite of Modi’s promise of good days (acche din) in 2014, many Indians still struggle with unemployment, low income, poor health and other difficulties. Though some problems eventually find solutions and middle-class metropolitans increasingly seek help from gurus and psychologists, long-term misfortune and disturbances are still frequently attributed to black magic or possession. Drawing on anthropological fieldwork in Kanpur and Bareilly, this article examines the unintended cosmopolitan effects of such practices, which occasionally unfold in ways that traverse and unsettle official religious boundaries, even in polarized times. Heuristically contrasting Modi to Alice in Wonderland, the article spells out the double bind of many low-income Hindus who seek supernatural assistance in times of crisis: should they follow the logic of inexpensive efficacy, even if necessitating engagement with unfamiliar ritual worlds in heterotopic spaces associated with the religious other? Or should they rather follow the emergent Hindu nationalist logic of Hindu exclusivism, according to which ritual remedies beyond a Hindu ritual repertoire would be inappropriate? The persisting prevalence of the former logic under Modi is illustrated with three cases, two of which are interrelated. Firstly, we meet a female professional seeking help against suspected black magic from a rustic Sufi-Muslim healer. Secondly, we meet a Kali devotee seeking help against spirits that disturbed his career and marriage in a renowned Sufi-Muslim dargah. The final case shows how familial neglect, economic hardship and an interreligious marriage conducted two generations earlier came together in a case of possession. The cosmopolitan effects of such instances, the article argues, lie in their tendency to form an anti-structural, heterotopic counterweight to aggressive Hindu nationalism.

Abstract. We use 1.5 years of continuous recordings from an amphibious
seismic network deployment in the region of northeastern South America and
the southeastern Caribbean to study the crustal and uppermost mantle structure
through a joint inversion of surface-wave dispersion curves determined from
ambient seismic noise and receiver functions. The availability of both ocean
bottom seismometers (OBSs) and land stations makes this experiment ideal to
determine the best processing methods to extract reliable empirical Green's
functions (EGFs) and construct a 3D shear velocity model. Results show EGFs
with high signal-to-noise ratio for land–land, land–OBS and OBS–OBS paths
from a variety of stacking methods. Using the EGF estimates, we measure
phase and group velocity dispersion curves for Rayleigh and Love waves. We
complement these observations with receiver functions, which allow us to
perform an H-k analysis to obtain Moho depth estimates across the study
area. The measured dispersion curves and receiver functions are used in a
Bayesian joint inversion to retrieve a series of 1D shear-wave velocity
models, which are then interpolated to build a 3D model of the region. Our
results display clear contrasts in the oceanic region across the border of
the San Sebastian–El Pilar strike-slip fault system as well as a high-velocity region that corresponds well with the continental craton of
southeastern Venezuela. We resolve known geological features in our new
model, including the Espino Graben and the Guiana Shield provinces, and
provide new information about their crustal structures. Furthermore, we
image the difference in the crust beneath the Maturín and Guárico
sub-basins.
