UJJWALA YOJANA'S ROLE IN TRANSFORMING THE LIVES OF SCHEDULE CASTE WOMEN IN GUJARAT
Authors: Dr. Dipikaben Kanubhai Rohit
Published: October 2024

The Pradhan Mantri Ujjwala Yojana (PMUY) is a flagship initiative launched by the Government of India in May 2016, aimed at providing clean cooking fuel to economically disadvantaged households. The primary objective of the scheme is to reduce the health hazards associated with the use of traditional cooking fuels such as firewood, coal, and cow dung, which produce harmful smoke and pollutants. By promoting the use of Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG), Ujjwala Yojana seeks to improve indoor air quality and reduce respiratory and other health issues, particularly among women and children. This study examines the transformative role of the Ujjwala Yojana in improving the lives of Scheduled Caste (SC) women in Gujarat. By targeting 200 SC women, the research aims to analyze their perceptions of the scheme and investigate the relationship between their demographic profiles and their views on Ujjwala Yojana. Findings indicate that the majority of SC women believe the scheme has significantly enhanced their overall quality of life, improved family health, and saved considerable time previously spent on traditional fuel collection. Additionally, the study identifies a significant association between demographic factors such as age, monthly income, and family size, and the perceived benefits of the Ujjwala Yojana. These insights underscore the importance of considering demographic variables to maximize the scheme's impact and highlight the need for continued support and expansion of such initiatives to promote health, empowerment, and socio-economic development among marginalized communities.

Authors: K. Gokul  , Dr. R. Sankarasubramanian
Published: October 2024

The leading cause of death for both men and women is cancer. The unchecked proliferation of aberrant cells that begin in one or both lung most often in the cell lining the air passageways. Small cell lung cancer and non-small cell lung cancer are the two primary forms. Non smokers Get Lung Cancer at a Rate of 10–15%. Smokers Make Up 50% of the Case. The longer someone smokes and the more cigarettes they smoke, the higher their risk of developing lung cancer. Lung cancer has become more common. Age, sex, wheezing, shortness of breath, and chest pain are among the symptoms that can indicate a patient's likelihood of developing lung cancer. Data mining algorithms, such as classification, decision tables, naïve-based, ant colony optimization, lung cancer prediction, and data mining techniques, are used to detect lung cancer disease in its early stages. According to this paper, early detection of lung cancer can completely cure the disease and help doctors save patients' lives. Ant colony optimization data mining techniques are useful for improving or decreasing the disease prediction value of lung cancer data.

Published: October 2024

Students progress through their educational journey by maintaining a balance in the ever changing family, educational and social environments from primary level to higher studies. Education helps students to strengthen their intellectual power, create emotional balance, empower them morally and culturally and provides direction to their lifestyle. It also develops career  awareness among the students. During college education, students start forming a clear vision towards career options. Due to their career decision making ability they make appropriate selection of subjects and they give importance to their good academic performance. This research conducted on the  students studying in the first year of graduation in Durg district is related to the impact of their lifestyle and career decision making ability on their educational achievement. The study, conducted on a sample of 600 students selected from 10 colleges using a stratified random method, uses valid and reliable authentic scales of lifestyle and professional decision-making ability. On the basis of the values obtained from these scales, a 2X2 two-way ANOVA of their educational achievement was performed by dividing the students into two groups of lifestyle (high, low) and two (high, low) groups of career decision making ability. From the results of the F-test, the main effect of lifestyle and career decision-making ability on educational achievement was found to be significant, whereas their interaction effect was not found to be significant. The educational achievement of students with high lifestyle and high professional decision making ability was found to be better than the students with low lifestyle and low professional decision making ability.

Published: October 2024

The capital market has increasingly become a pivotal avenue for enterprises seeking additional capital for expansion or operational enhancements. In raising funds through an Initial Public Offering (IPO), the company must publish its risk disclosure in the prospectus. Therefore, this study aims to investigate the impact of risk disclosure on the initial return of Indonesian companies undergoing IPOs during the pandemic. Using data from 136 out of 164 companies that went public between 2020 and 2022, sourced from the Indonesian Stock Exchange and company websites, the study employs the ordinary least squares method to estimate the impact of risk disclosures on initial returns during the pandemic. The findings reveal that external and overall risk disclosures significantly influence IPO initial returns. Specifically, Indonesian investors were particularly attentive to external and overall risks when evaluating IPOs during the pandemic. This heightened concern suggests that comprehensive risk disclosure can affect investor behavior and financial outcomes for companies going public in uncertain times, highlighting the importance of transparency in risk communication to support investor decision-making and market stability.

Published: October 2024

La evaluación del aprendizaje de los estudiantes es un tema de investigación relevante de la didáctica de la matemática. Evaluar en matemática requiere mucho más que la resolución de un ejercicio. Se trata de evaluar todo el proceso. En este sentido, el diseño de evaluaciones no es trivial ni inmediato. Requiere formación, objetivos claros y propuestas relevantes. En este trabajo se analizan las evaluaciones propuestas por tres futuros profesores de matemática y por tres chatbots basados en modelos de Inteligencia Artificial (IA) generativa. Se comparan los tipos de evaluaciones propuestas sobre nociones de estadística (población y muestra) y se determina la funcionalidad de los chatbots como posibles asistentes para la generación de diferentes tipos de evaluaciones. Se concluye que los chatbots pueden resultar en asistentes valiosos a la hora de crear evaluaciones, ya que ofrecen diferentes tipos de evaluaciones, tanto tradicionales, como puede ser una prueba escrita, como no tradicionales, como un proyecto de investigación.

Competitive Advantage Development Model with Logistics Competence
Authors: Sodikin Mohamad , Susilowati Susilowati
Published: October 2024

Uniqueness in the field of logistics was chosen as the basis for excellence in higher education at Institute of Economics Science Cendekia Karya Utama in Indonesia, because it is considered that logistics capabilities are the basis for building competitive advantages for its alumni. However, this program has never been studied for the effectiveness of its implementation and also for its follow-up development model. Based on the Resource Based View theory, this research aims to determine the effectiveness of the logistics competency program and build a competitive development model at Institute Economic Science Cendekia Karya Utama Semarang. Through qualitative methods involving informants from the Indonesian Logistics Training Institute, lecturers, logistics practitioners and graduate who work in logistics companies, it was found that to increase broader competitive advantage there needs to be strengthening in several aspects, namely the need to add digital logistics curriculum content (ex: warehouse management system, transportation management system and strengthening foreign languages (English, Mandarin). A logistics-based competitive advantage development model can be developed by synergizing and collaborating between universities and alumni, the business and industrial logistics, practitioners and training institutions according to their respective roles -each of which is discussed in this study. This study contributes to the expansion of the resource based view theory and the development of graduate quality and unique logistics competencies as a basis for building excellence from Institute Economic Science Cendekia Karya Utama Semarang, Indonesia

Authors: Bazhenova Elena , Shirinkina Maria
Published: October 2024

The article considers the concept of digital reputation in relation to the executive authorities of the Russian Federation, as well as identifies the technological and communicative methods of its formation and maintenance. The digital reputation of a public administration body is a multicriterial assessment of its activities. It appears in media space and reflects the opinions of socially active population. Digital reputation is not identical to digital image. The authors revealed the following discursive factors that shape stereotypes about public administration. For instance, an indefinitely wide range of addressees lack basic knowledge in public administration; public assessments are flexible and unpredictable; some Internet users practice provocative speech behavior, etc. The research featured internet posts made by the Ministry of Science and Higher Education of the Russian Federation in the social network VKontakte. The service Popsters.ru made it possible to rate them by user involvement. A discursive and stylistic analysis of the posts with a high engagement coefficient revealed the following effective tools for managing the digital reputation of the authorities: hashtags as means of data distribution and systematization, dialogical and personalized presentation, interactive forms of communication (voting, polls, etc.), timely reaction to user comments, etc.

Authors: Mkrtumova Irina , Goryunova Svetlana
Published: October 2024

Digitalization and automation of media affect the consumer behavior of young journalists and bloggers. The research revealed the corresponding strategic vectors of social constructs in young people’s consumer behavior. It relied on the social construction of reality developed by P. Berger and T. Luckmann, as well as on the reality of mass media by N. Luhmann. The main methods of empirical research included: 1) literature reviews and secondary analysis of research on digital marketing and its impact on consumer behavior; 2) observation and analysis of the behavior of university students and young professionals in online environment. The consumer behavior demonstrated such trends as social mobility; life changes, innovation, and experimentation; rapid suggestibility and gullibility. Young people proved to be active users of modern media; they were attracted mostly to entertainment content, i.e., videos, music, podcasts, games, etc., as well as to educational platforms. The authors described and classified the basic tools employed by content creators in the context of media automation. The study revealed an increase in major threats and risks associated with the fundamental lack of public control in the digital environment, where the final content is shaped by automated processes and artificial intelligence.
Narrative as Self-Identification in VKontakte Social Network
Authors: Rogova Evgeniya , Yanickiy Leonid
Published: October 2024

In social nets, personal narrative serves as a means of self-identification and self-awareness. A user constructs a concept of Self as a temporary I-image for virtual self-perception and self-explanation. As an interpretative process, narrative endows the story of emotions and experiences with personal meaning. The research objective was to describe virtual narrative as part of identification processes in public accounts in VKontakte social net. Personal narratives were used to detect values and beliefs manifested as text elements. This information revealed neurotic conflicts, triggers, points of tension, identify mechanisms, psychological dominants, etc. The research relied on narrative psychology, which emphasizes the constructive role of language in personality development: people understand themselves and the world through oral and written speech. The analysis of meanings and structural elements of narratives published in social networks made it possible to construct a matrix of identification preferences of the narrator, thus modelling a basic personal construct. Observing how the narrators interpreted their experience revealed the mechanisms behind their subjectivity, worldview, and temporal attitude. The authors believe that narrative psychology brings to surface the temporal aspect of human experience, which tells a lot about the personality of the narrator. Writing about their personal experience allows narrators to identify their values and beliefs, as well as brings clarity and meaning to life as a project in words. Personal narrative offers strategies for self-fulfillment that fit one’s actual psychological resource state, i.e., it is not the narrator that shapes the narrative, but the other way round. The subjective linguistic worldview revealed by personal narratives in social nets makes it possible to profile the narrator’s personality.

The mean value for the samples ranged from 0.004 to 0.24 mg/L. Cadmium, cobalt, nickel, chromium, manganese, zinc, and lead were not significant and below the permissible limit set by the World Health Organization. Based on the calculation of the water pollution index, the mean values of water samples from all sampling locations fall within 29.02–134.78, indicating poor water quality. The order of decreasing HQing and HQderm values was as follows: cobalt > lead > chromium > cadmium > manganese > zinc > copper > nickel > iron, for both children and adults, respectively. Thirteen distinct polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons were detected, with mean concentrations of 0.101 ± 0.09 for sample A, 0.1010 ± 0.09 for sample B, 0.0819 ± 0.09 for sample C, 0.01735 ± 0.02 for sample D, and 0.0118 ± 0.0 for sample E. The result showed total BaPeq (mg/kg) values ranging from 0.274 for sample A, 0.280 for sample B, 0.282 for sample C, 2.64 × 10−3 for sample D, and 1.22 × 10−5 for sample E. Elevated levels of fluorene, naphthalene, and dibenzyl (a–h) anthracene were observed in all the sampled points. Irrigation quality are as follows; sodium adsorption ratio (A: 6.31, B: 4.42), magnesium adsorption ratio (B: 52.27), %Na (A: 55.61), residual sodium carbonate (B: 53.36), permeability index (A: 50.31), soluble sodium percentage (B: 52.62), and Kelly's ratio (equilibrium).
Tracing of phosphorus in river sediments using the structural equation modeling
Authors: Ebrahimi Eisa , Asadi Hossein , Rahmani Mohammad , Bayat Hossein
Published: October 2024

Phosphorus (P) is transported into the water resources mainly due to soil erosion. Using the structural equation modeling, this study investigated the relative contribution of different P-producing sources in the Pasikhan River watershed, south of the Caspian Sea, Northern Iran. For this purpose, 79 surface soil samples and 14 suspended sediments were taken from the potential P sources and the river. These sources included undisturbed and degraded rangelands, forests, rice fields, tea gardens, and gullies. The built-in structural equations in PLS software were used for modeling purposes. The overall model fitting index (goodness of fit (GOF) = 0.591) showed the model's strong forecasting capability. Degraded rangelands, gullies, rice fields, and tea gardens significantly contribute to P in the river sediments. In particular, the highest contribution was related to degraded rangelands and gullies (intensity of the effect = 0.63 and 0.47). Finally, the results showed that gullies' contribution was 28.26% to the P production in river sediments, while the other sources had a relatively equal contribution. In conclusion, this study elucidates that undisturbed rangelands and forests exhibit negligible contributions to phosphorus levels in river sediments. Overall, the results confirmed that structural equation modeling is a robust and efficient approach to identifying P sources.
Embarazos y partos desde la atención ancestral: una revisión narrativa de la partería tradicional
Authors: Macías-Lara Liliam María
Published: October 2024

La partería nace en las comunidades indígenas, afros y campesinas en los pueblos latinoamericanos ha llevado a mujeres y hombres a resignificar sus conocimientos sobre plantas medicinales y ciclos reproductivos en pro del bienestar y la salud de las mujeres gestantes. Tradicionalmente las parteras proporcionan un sistema de atención basado en la herbolaria medicinal, las acciones manuales y los recursos hidroterapéuticos, que va desde el embarazo hasta el puerperio. Esta práctica médica por ser de carácter cultural, guarda cierto misticismo en algunas comunidades. A pesar de que son múltiples los países en Latinoamérica donde aún se mantiene esta práctica, aun se requieren documentar y transmitir el conocimiento que tienen y aplican las parteras para brindar una atención holística. Este escrito busca caracterizar el conocimiento sobre las prácticas ancestrales que las parteras tradicionales realizan durante el embarazo, el nacimiento y el cuidado del recién nacido.

Kierownicy wskazanych jednostek zostali również zobligowani do przedłożenia raportu z realizacji celu do Prezesa Urzędu Regulacji Energii w terminie do 31 marca roku następującego po roku, którego obowiązek dotyczy. Wprowadzono także możliwość nałożenia na kierowników jednostek sektora finansów publicznych kar administracyjnych za brak realizacji powyższego obowiązku w maksymalnej wysokości do 20 000 zł. Regulacja prawna dotycząca powyższego obowiązku budzi jednak liczne wątpliwości z uwagi przede wszystkim na jej lakoniczność oraz brak wskazówek interpretacyjnych. W niniejszym artykule podjęto próbę charakterystyki tego obowiązku oraz uwypuklenie jego ułomności.
PRAWO DO BYCIA ZAPOMNIANYM A ZATARCIE SKAZANIA
Authors: Chaba Dawid , Kluza Jan
Published: October 2024

Prawo do bycia zapomnianym oraz zatarcie skazania mają swoje źródło w prawie ochrony danych osobowych oraz w prawie karnym. Pomimo tego, że oba pojęcia dotyczą ochrony praw jednostek, są związane z różnymi kontekstami i mają odmienne implikacje. Zależności pomiędzy tymi dwiema instytucjami były przedmiotem rozważań między innymi na gruncie wyroku Europejskiego Trybunału Praw Człowieka z 22 czerwca 2021 r. (skarga nr 57292/16, sprawa Hurbain p. Belgii). Celem artykułu jest wskazanie, czy prawo do bycia zapomnianym wynikające z RODO może stanowić podstawę na przykład do usunięcia danych osobowych sprawcy z artykułu prasowego po upływie okresu zatarcia skazania. Podstawowy problem badawczy na gruncie opracowania stanowi to, jakie są wzajemne relacje pomiędzy prawem do bycia zapomnianym na gruncie RODO a zatarciem skazania uregulowanym w krajowym porządku prawnym. Hipoteza robocza na gruncie niniejszego artykułu została opracowana w ten sposób, że prawo do zapomnienia wynikające z przepisów dotyczących ochrony danych osobowych obejmuje swoim zakresem także prawo do zatarcia skazania i anonimizacji danych osobowych byłego sprawcy.

Przedstawiono, jaką ewolucję przeszedł wykształcony w okresie republiki w drodze praktyki procesowej zwyczaj przekazywania wątpliwych spraw sądownictwu ludowemu, który następnie w czasach cesarstwa za sprawą prawotwórczej aktywności cesarzy, jako postulat sprzyjania słabszej pozycji oskarżonego, został ubrany w ramy normy prawnej i przyjął postać konkretnych reguł i gwarancji procesowych, odzwierciedlających w swej treści istotę współczesnego rozumienia tej zasady.

Authors: Barczewska-Dziobek Agata
Published: October 2024

Opracowanie ma na celu zwrócenie uwagi na problematykę istnienia rozlicznych tzw. patologii organizacyjnych w obrębie administracji publicznej, jak też stanowi próbę wskazania wymiaru i skali jednej z ich postaci, jaką jest korupcja. Korupcja jako zjawisko powszechne i jednocześnie złożone poddawane winno być ciągłej obserwacji i badaniu w celu formułowania skutecznych narzędzi przeciwdziałania. Jednym z nich są systemowe akty polityki w zakresie zwalczania zjawiska korupcji w administracji publicznej, na podstawie których winny być podejmowane działania mające w konsekwencji ograniczyć ten rodzaj patologii. Jednakże, jak wskazuje praktyka – nie zostały one w ostatnich latach wdrażane, czego skutkiem jest ciągle wysoki poziom korupcji w Polsce.

Bezpieczeństwo to naczelna potrzeba człowieka i instytucji przez niego tworzonych, zaspokojenie której gwarantuje rozwój społeczny i cywilizacyjny. Zapewnienie bezpieczeństwa obywatelom to podstawowy cel zadań stawianych przed organami władzy publicznej, na co wskazuje treść zasady wyrażonej w art. 5 Konstytucji RP. Wyznaczając cel i kierunki działania w przywołanej zasadzie, Konstytucja RP pozostawia władzom publicznym swobodę w doborze środków i sposobów ich realizacji. Zakładając, że zapewnienie bezpieczeństwa polega na przeciwdziałaniu wszelkim zagrożeniom i zamachom, szczególnego znaczenia nabierają zagrożenia będące antonimem bezpieczeństwa. Jednym z elementów składowych bezpieczeństwa jest bezpieczeństwo zdrowotne, a czynniki stwarzające zagrożenie zdrowia publicznego wiążą się z zadaniami władz publicznych, które powinny dokonywać ich diagnozy, monitorować je, przeciwdziałać im lub minimalizować ich skutki. Szczególnie istotne są działania podejmowane w celu zdiagnozowania i monitowania zagrożeń, one bowiem później determinują skuteczność działań w zakresie przeciwdziałania ich wystąpieniu lub redukowaniu ich następstw, co nabiera szczególnego znaczenia zwłaszcza w odniesieniu do nowych czynników. Na zagadnieniach sprowokowanych pytaniem o instrumenty prawne pozwalające na diagnozowanie i monitorowanie zagrożeń zdrowia publicznego, a także dalsze koordynowanie działań związanych z zapewnieniem bezpieczeństwa zdrowotnego koncentrują się główne myśli artykułu.
OCHRONA TAJEMNICY PRZEDSIĘBIORSTWA NA GRUNCIE REGULACJI KODEKSU POSTĘPOWANIA ADMINISTRACYJNEGO – UWAGI ‘DE LEGE LATA’ I ‘DE LEGE FERENDA
Authors: Trzciński Jan

Celem artykułu jest analiza dopuszczalności i sposobu ochrony tajemnicy przedsiębiorstwa na gruncie kodeksu postępowania administracyjnego. Mimo obszernej regulacji tajemnicy przedsiębiorstwa, zarówno w systemie prawa polskiego, jak i europejskiego, kwestia ta nie została podjęta przez polskiego ustawodawcę w odniesieniu do postępowania ogólnoadministracyjnego. Konieczne do ustalenia potencjalnej ochrony jest odwołanie się do wykładni systemowej i celowościowej przepisów kodeksu postępowania administracyjnego. W tym celu autor stara się określić przedmiot i zakres takiej ochrony, rozważając równocześnie celowość wyróżnienia, obok tajemnicy przedsiębiorstwa, pojęcia tajemnicy przedsiębiorcy. Przedstawione zostały źródła ochrony tajemnicy przedsiębiorstwa na gruncie kodeksu postępowania administracyjnego. Zdaniem autora, popartego poglądami doktryny i orzecznictwem sądowoadministracyjnym, taka ochrona wynika przede wszystkim z art. 74 (wyłączenie dostępu do akt sprawy) k.p.a. stosowanego w związku z relewantnymi przepisami Konstytucji RP. Ponadto, ochronę tajemnicy przedsiębiorstwa wyprowadzić można także z art. 31 (prawa organizacji społecznej) i 83 (rozprawa administracyjna) k.p.a.
THE EU RESPONSE TO THE MASSIVE INFLUX OF DISPLACED PERSONS FROM UKRAINE IN 2022
Authors: Morawska Elżbieta Hanna
Published: October 2024

Russia has been conducting military action against Ukraine since 24 February 2022, in violation of the prohibition on the threat or use of violence against the territorial integrity or independence of any state, which is one of the fundamental principles of modern international law.
The Russian aggression has resulted in a sharp increase in migratory pressure on the EU. As a result, the Union launched a special temporary protection procedure for the first time in its history. As temporary protection is one of the instruments of the Common European Asylum System, this article begins with an analysis of its nature within EU asylum policy. The article’s next research question and objective relate directly to the EU’s response to the Russian act of aggression. They are relevant for clarifying the political context of the activation of temporary protection and, simultaneously, establishing the circumstances necessary for the activation of temporary protection in the light of Council Directive 2001/55/EC. This Directive and Council Implementing Decision 2022/382 determine the normative construction of the temporary protection 2022. These elements are its duration, the categories of beneficiaries, and the beneficiaries’ entitlements, which result in obligations for Member States. The analysis of these issues will determine to what extent temporary protection is a viable and eﬀective measure of international protection for displaced persons from Ukraine.
Herbal Remedies for Hepatic Inflammation: Unravelling Pathways and Mechanisms for Therapeutic Intervention
Authors: Saraswat Istuti , Goel Anjana
Published: October 2024

Inflammation is a universal response of mammalian tissue to harm, comprising reactions to injuries,
pathogens, and foreign particles. Liver inflammation is commonly associated with hepatocyte necrosis and
apoptosis. These forms of liver cell injury initiate a sequence of events independent of the etiological basis for
the inflammation and can result in hepatic disorders. It is also common for liver cancer. This review fundamentally
focuses on the molecular pathways involved in hepatic inflammation. This review aims to explore the
molecular pathways involved in hepatic inflammation, focusing on arachidonic acid, NF-κB, MAPK,
PI3K/Akt, and JAK/STAT pathways. It investigates active compounds in herbal plants and their pharmacological
characteristics. The review proposes a unique therapeutic blueprint for managing hepatic inflammation and
diseases by modifying these pathways with herbal remedies.
Ceftobiprole and Cefiderocol for Patients on Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation: The Role of Therapeutic Drug Monitoring
Authors: Castro Diana Morales , Granton John , Fan Eddy
Published: October 2024

Introduction:

Limited data exist on therapeutic ranges for newer antimicrobials in the critically ill,
with few pharmacokinetic studies including patients undergoing renal replacement therapy or extracorporeal
membrane oxygenation (ECMO).

Case Representation:

These interventions can potentially alter the pharmacokinetic profile of antibiotics, resulting
in therapeutic failures, antimicrobial resistance, or increased toxicity. In this report, we present two ECMO
patients treated with cefiderocol and ceftobiprole, where therapeutic drug monitoring (TDM) aided in the
successful treatment of severe infections. Antibiotic trough concentrations in both cases were consistent with
previously reported therapeutic levels in critically ill and ECMO patients, meeting minimal inhibitory concentrations
recommended by the European Committee on Antimicrobial Susceptibility Testing for the respective
pathogens.

Conclusion:

Treatment might be suboptimal if doses are not adjusted based on physicochemical properties
and extracorporeal support. In an era marked by highly resistant pathogens, these cases highlight the importance
of timely access to real-time TDM for optimizing and individualizing antimicrobial treatment.

Immunotherapy, as a novel treatment approach for various disorders, including cancers, is designed to either stimulate or suppress the immune system with high speci-ficity. The recent achievements of this therapy in clinical trials are set to transform tradi-tional treatment methods. Furthermore, it holds promise for enhancing the survival rates of patients suffering from both metastatic cancers and primary stages. Gastrointestinal Cancers (GI) account for 26% of global incidence and 35% of worldwide deaths. Treat-ment can be carried out using targeted immunotherapy in these cancers. If the tiers are superior, improvement could require more enterprise. On account that the function of immunotherapy in GI has been so promising, solely in sufferers with severe metastatic levels, within the literature, the immune checkpoint inhibitors in cancer immunotherapy of GI cancers, chimeric antigen receptor T-cell (vehicle-T), modulators of the tumor mi-croenvironment, and drug resistance mechanisms in immunotherapy as an effective treatment approach to GI cancers along with colon, pancreas, gastric, and esophageal cancers have been addressed. This review provides an overview of FDA-approved im-munotherapy drugs and ongoing preclinical developments. Additionally, we offer in-sights into the future of immunotherapy for GI cancer patients, addressing the associated challenges.

Published: October 2024

Cancer continues to be a major global health challenge, driving the need for the discovery
of novel therapeutic agents. Among these, heterocyclic phytochemicals have gained significant
attention for their potential as anticancer agents. This review offers a detailed analysis of various
classes of heterocyclic compounds with proven anticancer properties, shedding light on their mechanisms
of action. The study draws from a diverse array of natural product sources, detailing the
chemical structures and bioactivities of these compounds. Key heterocyclic classes such as alkaloids,
flavonoids, coumarins, and terpenoids are emphasized due to their potent anticancer effects.
Heterocyclic phytochemicals exhibit diverse anticancer mechanisms, including the modulation of
cellular pathways like apoptosis, angiogenesis, and cell cycle progression. The combination of
heterocyclic phytochemicals with conventional cancer therapies has shown promising synergistic
effects, enhanced treatment efficacy and reducing side effects. The review systematically evaluates
both preclinical and clinical studies, revealing the efficacy, safety profiles, and pharmacokinetics of
selected heterocyclic compounds. The promising outcomes highlighted in this review underscore
the critical need for ongoing research to fully realize the therapeutic potential of heterocyclic phytochemicals
in cancer treatment.
