Oxidative stress has been implicated to play a crucial role in the pathogenesis of Alzheimer’s disease (AD). Currently, it is known that numerous signaling pathways involved in neurodegenerative disorders are activated in response to oxidative stress. Recent directions on AD treatments have focused on the use of antioxidants including Curcumin, a hydrophobic polyphenol derived from the rhizome of the herb Curcuma longa, to augment the intracellular antioxidant defences. In the present study, hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) was used to evaluate the effects of oxidative stress on apoptotic SK-N-MC cells death with focus on changes in activity of Notch signaling pathway. The extent of lipid peroxidation, protein oxidation and intracellular ROS (Reactive Oxygen Species) levels was investigated as oxidative stress biomarkers. Here, we showed that H2O2 reduced GSH levels and activity of antioxidant enzymes and also influenced Notch signaling activation. The present data concluded that Curcumin protected cells against oxidative stress-induced apoptosis.

Does Immigration Promote the Investment of the Monopolistic Firm?

In the present paper, we examine the effect of increasing uncertainty of immigrants’ growth on the optimal timing of investment of a firm that has a monopolistic power over the labor market. It is revealed that when the uncertainty of immigrants’ growth is more than a threshold level, increasing uncertainty of immigrants’ growth accelerates the optimal timing of firms’ investment and enhances the economic growth, even if the uncertainty of immigrants’ growth is formulated by the geometric Brownian motion, which is in sharp contrast to the standard result that an increase in the uncertainty postpones the optimal timing. With an increase in the immigrants over the past ten years, workforces in the host countries have been growing significantly to the extent that the immigrants represent 70% of the increase in the workforce in Europe, and 47% in the United States as OECD indicates. In the present paper, we attempted to investigate the effect of increased uncertainty caused by the growi...

Education Policy Implementation: A Mechanism for Enhancing Primary Education Development in Zanzibar

Education is one of the fundamental rights of individuals; therefore, the government of a country needs to develop and strengthen educational policy and quality as well as to ensure that everyone has equal access to basic education. The improvement of access and quality of education in the world is becoming as an essential factor in development, whereas the basic education (primary school), is acknowledged as a foundation of the higher educational development for every country. To fulfill this goal, governments introduce several policies and procedures; however, it requires some reforms and participation from the politician, policymakers, and other stakeholders to re-examine educational policy so that it can lead to multiplication and betterment of the reforms. Educational reforms actually focus on accountability. A positive educational development and reform is very challenging and needs more effort and strategy on how to use and utilize the resources effectively as such it can achie...
