In vitro anti-inflammatory and antioxidant activities of Chasmanthera dependens Hochst. leaf and stem

Inflammation and oxidative stress are closely connected and play crucial roles in the development of several diseases, such as cardiovascular diseases, cancer, diabetes, and neurodegenerative disorders. Chasmanthera dependens Hochst. (Menispermaceae) has been used traditionally i...

A scoping review of evidence of the livelihood and welfare impact of microfinance institutions’ financial inclusion schemes and programs in developing countries

Microfinance institutions (MFIs) are major providers of financial inclusion tools in developing countries, serving small and medium-scale enterprises (SMEs) and low-income individuals and households. However, there are concerns about MFIs shifting from their social outreach goals...

Nigeria’s time-varying inflation threshold and asymmetric exchange-rate pass-through under changing fiscal and structural conditions

This study examines the evolution of Nigeria’s inflation threshold and whether exchange-rate pass-through differs between moderate- and elevated-inflation conditions. It also evaluates the conditional associations of fiscal balance, food-import dependence, broad money growth, oil...

A Comparative Floquet–Lyapunov Study of Perturbation-Induced Halo Orbit Instability in the Earth–Moon System

Halo orbits around the Earth–Moon L1–L3 underpin near-term cislunar infrastructure, from the Artemis Lunar Gateway to lunar communication relays, yet their operational viability depends on how strongly non-idealized forces reshape their intrinsic instability. While the linear sta...
