Authors: Rahman Md Hamidur , Ashik Fajle Rabbi , Hasan Nasim
Published: January 2025

The structure of the industrial sectors of a region is a driving factor to explain the growth of a region’s economy. In Bangladesh, spatial variation in economic growth exists among different regions. A primary factor in this variation is the economic structure of the region, which can be characterized by basic and non-basic sectors. Economic base theory helps to understand how data can be used to study the economic development process and evaluate alternating development strategies. The aim of the study, thus, is to identify the basic and non-basic sectors using economic base theory and to explore the short-run regional economic structure in selected districts. Data of selected districts from economic census, 2003, and 2013 has been analyzed for thirteen sectors. The comparative analysis of the selected districts reveals that all of the districts except Bandarban are becoming economically weak during the timeframe. In contrast, Bhola district is in economic malaise relative to the other districts. The lagging behind the Transport, Storage, and Communication sector triggers to the disadvantaged economic condition for all the districts during the timeframe. The findings of this study would act as a reference for regional planners to allocate resources in different economic sectors of these districts.

Revisiting Planning standards of Community Facilities for Urban Areas in Bangladesh
Authors: Khan Adil Mohammed
Published: January 2025

Community facilities are significant components in city planning that are deemed important for sustainable living in cities and settlements. Formulation of appropriate planning standards is necessary while preparing physical plans for urban areas in order to ensure proper community facilities across all parts of the urban areas of a city. This paper revisits planning standards for community facilities as practiced in physical plans and master plans of different metropolitan cities and municipalities in Bangladesh. This study finds that there are deficiencies of community facilities of different types according to the standards, both at metropolitan cities and municipalities in Bangladesh. It reveals that some community facilities are adequate in number as per the planning standards, while they are greatly deficient as per the area standards. Based on the findings of this study, planning standards for various types of community facilities are suggested which could be helpful for formulating future policies and physical plans for urban areas in Bangladesh. However, community facility standards that are recommended in this paper should not be seen as rigid standards by the development agencies or local government authorities. Rather, these set of standards are indicative and therefore can act as a guideline or starting point for assessment of community facilities in the urban areas of Bangladesh.

Destigmatizing Cannabis: A Theoretical Exploration of Shifting Consumption Norms in the U.S. Legal Market
Authors: Hughes Mine Üçok , Pehlivan Ekin
Published: January 2025

This study explores the destigmatization of stigmatized consumption, focusing on the evolving landscape of legal cannabis in the United States. With global adult-use cannabis sales projected to surpass 33 billion U.S. dollars by 2025, the market's growth is undeniable. Despite its expansion, the legal cannabis market remains intricate and controversial. There has been a steep increase in support for cannabis legalization over the last two decades in the U.S. and around the world. This study combines the “stigma turbine” theoretical framework with normative social behavior and market co-optation theories, proposing a categorization of consumption practices from stigmatized to destigmatized to normalized to normatized. By examining the destigmatization process, this framework offers insights applicable beyond cannabis, aiding scholars in understanding the dynamics of stigmatized behaviors and guiding policymakers and brand managers in navigating evolving perceptions and responses. We offer a few public policy implications that advocate for more research in the cannabis field that would educate consumers and increase awareness.

Published: January 2025

Cardiac sarcoidosis, a complex and often insidious systemic granulomatous disease, presents a myriad of dermatologic manifestations that may precede or coincide with cardiac involvement, serving as pivotal diagnostic indicators. However, the comprehensive spectrum of these cutaneous findings and their diagnostic significance in the context of cardiac sarcoidosis warrant a more in-depth exploration. This qualitative review embarks on a meticulous synthesis of qualitative evidence drawn from a multitude of sources, including extensive case reports, case series, and histopathological studies. Through a meticulous examination of the diverse dermatologic manifestations observed in patients with cardiac sarcoidosis, ranging from erythema nodosum and lupus pernio to less recognized presentations such as scar sarcoidosis and hypopigmented macules, this review aims to unravel the intricacies of these dermatologic clues. Moreover, it addresses the nuanced histopathological features underlying these cutaneous manifestations, shedding light on their diagnostic specificity and clinical relevance. By analyzing the myriad dermatologic phenotypes of cardiac sarcoidosis, this review not only aims to enrich clinicians’ understanding but also strives to empower them with the knowledge to recognize and interpret these dermatologic clues effectively. Such insights are pivotal in facilitating timely referral for cardiac evaluation and instituting appropriate therapeutic interventions, ultimately enhancing patient outcomes in the challenging landscape of cardiac sarcoidosis management.

Published: January 2025

Objective: Peganum harmala L., commonly known as "harmala," is extensively used as an herbal incense product today and is renowned for its reported calming effects on humans. This study aims to perform a structural characterization of incense, with a particular focus on its fruit and seed components, by analyzing both the combustion process and dissolving the resulting smoke in an appropriate solvent. Additionally, we aim to contribute to the literature by investigating the presence of hallucinogenic compounds in this incense. Simultaneously, anatomical features of pedicels, petals, sepals, stamens, and pistils of P. harmala were examined through manual sectioning.
Material and Method: Smoke from incense was dissolved using n-hexane and dichloromethane solvents. Chemical analysis of seeds and fruits was conducted using GC-MS at the Erzurum Regional Criminal Police Laboratory Directorate. Anatomical characterization involved manual sectioning of pedicels, petals, sepals, and pistils, followed by examination under a microscope.
Result and Discussion: Upon analysis of samples extracted from dichloromethane and n-hexane solvents, the presence of harmine-a compound exhibiting hallucinogenic properties-has been identified. Harmine is known to impact human perception, cognition, and emotions by influencing central nervous system. The anatomical analysis revealed the presence of glandular trichomes on the pedicel, and sepal. Chemical compounds in smoke of P. harmala seeds and fruits, including hallucinogenic compound harmine, were identified through GC-MS analysis.

Combination of chronic kidney disease (CKD) and heart failure (HF) results in extremely high morbidity and mortality. The current guideline-directed medical therapy is rarely effective and new therapeutic approaches are urgently needed. The study was designed to examine if renal denervation (RDN) will exhibit long-standing beneficial effects on the HF- and CKD-related morbidity and mortality. Fawn-hooded hypertensive rats (FHH) served as a genetic model of CKD and fawn-hooded low-pressure rats (FHL) without CKD served as controls. HF was induced by creation of aorto-caval fistula (ACF). RDN was performed 28 days after creation of ACF and the follow-up period was 70 days. ACF FHH subjected to sham-RDN had survival rate of 34 % i.e. significantly lower than 79 % observed in sham-denervated ACF FHL. RDN did not improve the condition and the final survival rate, both in ACF FHL and in ACF FHH. In FHH basal albuminuria was markedly higher than in FHL, and further increased throughout the study. RDN did not lower albuminuria and did not reduce renal glomerular damage in FHH. In these rats creation of ACF resulted in marked bilateral cardiac hypertrophy and alterations of cardiac connexin-43, however, RDN did not modify any of the cardiac parameters. Our present results further support the notion that kidney damage aggravates the HF-related morbidity and mortality. Moreover, it is clear that in the ACF FHH model of combined CKD and HF, RDN does not exhibit any important renoprotective or cardioprotective effects and does not reduce mortality.
50 Years of the Czech and Slovak Society of Experimental Cardiology – Historical Background and Scientific Benefit
Authors: Ostadal B , Novakova M , Slezak J
Published: January 2025

The history of the Czech and Slovak experimental cardiology describes a completely unusual curve. The personality of
J.E. Purkynje caused this field to reach unprecedented peak at the very beginning of its modern history. The development of experimental cardiology after the death of the great scholar was certainly not linear. Just when it seemed to be raising its head, the German occupation came. Its second hopeful awakening was delayed for a long time by forty years of isolation. The significant limitation of foreign contacts gradually led to the loss of hopefully developing contacts, to professional isolation and lagging behind the stormy development of world science. At the moment of greatest depression, in 1971, in Prague there was created a professional forum that was supposed to enable its intellectual survival and reduce the negative consequences of the “splendid isolation”. The Society of Experimental Cardiology (SEC) was founded at the Czechoslovak Physiological Society of the Czechoslovak Medical Society J.E. Purkynje, with the main task of introducing theoretical and clinical cardiologists to the advances in world cardiology. The first meeting was held in 1973 and in 2023 we celebrated already the 50th anniversary of SEC. Moreover, nowadays we see the increasing interest of the young researchers, both experimental and clinical cardiologists, who consider SEC a very attractive platform for their education and professional growth.

Local Television, Public Service Broadcasting and Local Community Climate Action
Authors: Weissmann Elke , Tyrrell Belinda
Published: January 2025

The media have been struggling to represent climate change, particularly in ways that inspire more people to do more. At the same time as reliable information and education about this topic is becoming more important, public service broadcasters find themselves under renewed threat. This article examines whether local television, if it was reimagined as community-led and operating within a public service context, could provide a solution for both problems: a source of inspiring stories about climate action and a means to democratise public service broadcasting. Using our research project on community-led television and climate action as a critical case study for a discussion of British public service television and its representation of climate change, we introduce our conceptualisation of a sustainable community which relies on key public service ideals to remain so. We show that television can play a key role in supporting communities in creating sustainable futures by creating community bonds and providing information and education.
Law as a result of law-making activity: features and properties
Authors: Honchar Yuliya Volodymyrivna
Published: January 2025

An important component of the doctrinal study of law is the clarification of its concept, essence and purpose, knowledge of which is impossible without an analysis of the main properties and signs of law. For a long time, there has been ambiguity in the scientific community regarding the definition of the concept of a property and a sign of law. These categories are mostly identified and defined through each other. This approach to understanding the properties and signs of law causes problems in distinguishing the properties of law — its primary internal characteristics, which determine the existence of law as an independent phenomenon, and its signs, which are an external manifestation of the properties of law and with the help of which the relationship of law with other social regulators is carried out. The problem of clarifying the properties of law is also related to the pluralism of concepts (types) of legal understanding, each of which is aimed at distinguishing and characterizing the special properties of law as a social regulator. As a result, there is a certain dissonance regarding the properties of law, since through the prism of natural-law understanding, the system of properties of law will be one, at the same time, the specified characteristics of law will not necessarily be understood as «properties» through the prism of positivist or sociological understanding of law. As a result of the conducted research, the article highlights the main properties of law through the prism of different types of legal understanding. According to the natural-legal understanding of law, the properties of law are natural rights as the original form of the existence of law, the supremacy of law and legal law as the essence of law, justice as a means of regulating social relations. Analysis of the positivist approach allows us to distinguish the following properties of law: the will of the state as the original form of existence of law, the clarity of the content of the law as the basis for determining the limits of freedom, state guarantees as a means of functioning of law. According to the sociological approach, it is possible to distinguish the following properties of law: social relations as the original form of existence, ensuring effective and timely regulation of social relations as a purpose of law.

Key words: property of law, sign of law, quality of law, types of legal understanding, rule-making, natural-law legal understanding, positivist legal understanding, sociological legal understanding.
Modern trends in regulatory activity in the field of bioprinting and organ donation
Authors: Chornenka Danyila Stepanivna
Published: January 2025

The article examines the problems of bioprinting and organ donation through the lens of modern trends in rulemaking. It is noted that one of the most dynamic branches of modern medicine is transplantology, which is actively developing in Ukraine, even despite Russia’s full-scale war against Ukraine and the impossibility of using medical aviation. It was emphasized that additive technologies are increasingly becoming the basis of modern progress in the field of medicine. The most common term characterizing them is three-dimensional printing, 3D printing. Yes, human organs have not yet been printed using it, but scientists are already using 3D technologies to create «organoids» that imitate organs on a reduced scale and can be used for research. Modern technologies do not stand still. Living cells are used as a material, which became the basis of bioprinting, when with the help of a 3D printer it is possible to produce tissues, human organs or special products containing living cells. In modern medicine, the use of three-dimensional technologies is developing in several directions. In particular, it is a scanning of organs using computer tomography and magnetic resonance imaging. The advantages of three-dimensional images over planar ones are obvious: during a 3D scan, a specialist can detect hidden problems and subsequently prescribe a more targeted treatment to the patient and prevent the development of serious diseases. 3D models of organs are also created, which make it possible to study the pathology and practice before the operation. In addition, implants are being actively created based on three-dimensional images using 3D printers, technologies for creating artificial bones, tissues, blood vessels and organs are being developed. It was concluded that the vast majority of developed countries adopt strategic documents aimed at introducing innovations into routine practice. At the same time, many risks arising from new discoveries in biomedicine are exacerbated by their combination with the threats posed by bioprinting. In view of this, the legislator will need to solve the basic problem: the extension of the general terminology of 3D printing to the biomedical sphere (a step towards this can be, for example, the Law «On Additive Technologies») or the use of a sui generis categorical apparatus for such created products.

Key words: law-making, health care legislation, legal regulation, human rights, bioprinting, transplantation, donation, transplantology, additive technologies, 3D printer, 3D printing.
Legal regulation of health care in EU countries: comparative-legal
Authors: Yusifova Sevinj
Published: January 2025

The article is devoted to the comparative and legal aspects of the legal regulation of health care in the EU countries, which is a priority in ensuring human life, both for national policy and for EU policy. In the context of European integration, the adoption of the Law «On Mandatory State Medical Insurance» is important, because the existing level of financing of the medical sphere does not allow to fully ensure the right of citizens to free medical care at the level stipulated by international standards. At the same time, it is important to strengthen the existing control over the quality of the provision of medical services.

The peculiarities of the legal regulation of health care in the EU countries are revealed and determined the ways of development of medical reform in Ukraine, taking into account the positive experience of the countries of the community, including: 1) adoption of the Law «On universally obligatory state health insurance»; 2) facilitating the process of reducing corruption risks; 3) providing hospitals with modern equipment for treatment and diagnostics; 4) improving the quality of medical education in order to provide the health care system with specialists with a high level of training.

Economic Growth and Gender-Specific Unemployment: Comparison of Selected Oil Exporters and Eastern European Countries (1996 - 2021)
Authors: Yenipazarlı Aslı , Şanlı Orhan , Çondur Funda , Cömertler Necmiye
Published: January 2025

In this study, the relationship between economic growth and gender-based unemployment in developing economies was analyzed for the period 1996-2021. Eastern European countries and oil exporting countries constitute the scope of the study. Gender-specific unemployment data consists of annual changes in male, female, and total unemployment. The real GDP growth rate has been included in the model as the dependent variable. In the study using the panel data method, the GDP gap model of Okun's Law was tested for oil-exporting Middle Eastern countries (Model 1) and Eastern European countries (Model 2). According to the PMG and FMOLS results of the First Model, the unemployment rates of women and men in oil-exporting Middle Eastern countries negatively affect economic growth. In other words, as unemployment increases, economic growth slows down and even turns negative. In the second model, the effect of unemployment by gender on growth in Eastern European countries is different from the first model. According to the PMG and FMOLS results, the female unemployment rate positively affects growth, while the direction of the impact of male unemployment rates on growth is negative for both country groups, as expected. There is a same-directional relationship between female unemployment and growth in Model 2 countries. This result shows the prevalence of unemployment benefits and suggests that labor laws in these countries can be effective in reducing the impact of unemployment.

Bu çalışmada “Adalet ve Kalkınma Partisi (AK Parti) iktidarı dönemindeki mülki idare düzenlemeleri, Türkiye’deki sağ iktidarların yeni il ve ilçeler kurmaya ilişkin popülist politikalarından izler barındırıyor mu?” sorusuna yanıt aranmaktadır. Söz konusu amaç çerçevesinde ilk olarak mülki idare kavramına, ardından Cumhuriyet tarihindeki mülki idare düzenlemelerinin tarihsel gelişimine değinilmiştir. Bulguların yer aldığı bölümde ise AK Parti döneminde ilçe kurulmasına aracılık eden hukuki düzenlemelere (5747, 6360, 6447 ve 7148 sayılı Kanunlar ile 694 sayılı Kanun Hükmünde Kararname) yer verilmiştir. Sonrasında bu düzenlemeler, Demokrat Parti (DP) ve Anavatan Partisi (ANAP) dönemlerindeki mülki idare düzenlemeleri ile karşılaştırılmıştır. Özetle, “cumhuriyet tarihi mülki idarileşme istatistiklerindeki konumu”, “düzenlemelerin zamanlamasının seçim dönemleriyle ilişkisi”, “mahallî baskılara karşı sergilenen tutum” ve “yeni kurulan ilçelerin günümüzdeki demografik ve sosyoekonomik göstergeleri” çerçevesinde ele alındığında AK Parti dönemindeki düzenlemelerin DP ve ANAP dönemindekilere nazaran daha rasyonel olduğu ileri sürülebilir.

The subject of the study is the reform discussions on the management of the United Nations Security Council (UNSC). The United Nations (UN) can be defined as the most influential organization in the international arena. In this article, the United Nations Security Council (UNSC), which is the most influential organization of the UN and equally controversial, a superpower union with worldwide management, control and surveillance powers, is examined, and the rules it adheres to in its structure and while fulfilling its duties are examined, and the recent discussions on reform in this area are examined. The study gains importance because it offers suggestions in shaping the future of a superior organization that concerns many countries and their security. The method of legislative analysis was used in the preparation of the article. As a result of the research conducted, it was concluded that an organization with self-appointed and unchangeable permanent members, and members who can veto any decision they want, cannot be claimed to have a democratic structure and that this institution cannot be expected to be impartial. There are strong suspicions that the political and administrative wills of the governments of countries that have an effective say in world politics and security organizations such as the UN Security Council are not free and are mortgaged.

Published: January 2025

This study examines the effects of Early Intensive Behavioral Intervention(EIBI) on the overall development of children with Autism Spectrum Disorder(ASD) and identifies predictive factors related to developmental improvements. The study involved 46 children diagnosed with ASD who underwent EIBI based on applied behavior analysis at a specialized institution for 12 months. Assessments of the children’s developmental levels were conducted before and after the intervention using the Ados-2 test, language assessments, educational diagnostic tests, the Vineland Adaptive Behavior Scales, and the Early Learner Curriculum and Achievement Record(ELCAR) curriculum evaluation. Data analysis was performed using paired sample t-tests and multiple regression analysis. The results show significant improvements in ASD symptom severity, language development, developmental age, adaptive behavior, and ELCAR curriculum scores following the EIBI intervention. Furthermore, ASD symptom severity was a significant predictor of improvement in developmental age, and developmental age was a predictor of ELCAR curriculum achievement. Within the developmental age subdomains, imitation emerged as an important predictor. These findings show the effectiveness and limitations of EIBI interventions for children with ASD in South Korea.

Published: January 2025

The increase in the incidence of infectious dermatoses in Ukraine is attributed to social changes, including military actions,population migration, and the COVID‑19 pandemic. These factors have contributed to the spread of diseases such as mycoses, dermatophytoses, scabies, and skin tuberculosis.
To study the changes in the dynamics of the incidence of infectious dermatoses in Ukraine during the period from 2000 to 2023.
Results. A trend of increasing incidence of infectious dermatoses was observed, particularly mycoses of the feet and dermatophytoses, while the registration of scabies decreased. The high prevalence of skin infections is caused by migration processes and a lack of sufficient statistical data in the country’s regions.
Conclusions. There is a need to increase attention to the clinical management and prevention of skin infections both in educational
medical institutions of various levels and in other educational establishments, taking into account the impact of military actions and
population migration on human health.
Effects of aging-related muscle degeneration on dynamic stability during walking: a musculoskeletal computer simulation study
Authors: Kudo Shoma , Fujimoto Masahiro , Nagano Akinori
Published: January 2025

Introduction

Aging-related deficits in the physiological properties of skeletal muscles limit the control of dynamic stability during walking. However, the specific causal relationships between these factors remain unclear. This study evaluated the effects of aging-related deficits in muscle properties on dynamic stability during walking.

Methods

Walking movements were simulated using two-dimensional musculoskeletal models consisting of 18 Hill-type muscles. To assess the effects of aging-related deficits in muscle function on dynamic stability during walking, five models with different muscle properties were created, namely young adult (YA) and older adult (OA) models, models with reduced maximum isometric muscle force, reduced maximum muscle contraction velocity, and prolonged muscle deactivation time (∆F, ∆V, and ∆T models, respectively). The margin of stability (MoS) was used as a measure of dynamic stability during walking.

Results and Discussion

The MoS value of the OA model was greater than that of the YA model, and the ∆F model yielded a larger MoS value than those of the ∆V and ∆T models. Therefore, the OA model achieved a more dynamically stable state than the YA model and the ∆F model required a more stable state to sustain continuous walking compared to the ∆V and ∆T models. These findings indicate that aging-related deficits in muscle function limit the control of dynamic stability during walking with the degeneration of maximum isometric muscle force being the most influential factor. These findings could aid in the development of an intervention program to reduce the risk of falls in older adults effectively.
CD73/adenosine dynamics in treatment-induced pneumonitis: balancing efficacy with risks of adverse events in combined radio-immunotherapies

Published: January 2025

Consolidation with PD-1/PD-L1-based immune checkpoint blockade after concurrent platinum-based chemo-radiotherapy has become the new standard of care for advanced stage III unresectable non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients. In order to further improve therapy outcomes, innovative combinatorial treatment strategies aim to target additional immunosuppressive barriers in the tumor microenvironment such as the CD73/adenosine pathway. CD73 and adenosine are known as crucial endogenous regulators of lung homeostasis and inflammation, but also contribute to an immunosuppressive tumor microenvironment. Furthermore, the CD73/adenosine pathway can also limit the immune-activating effects of cytotoxic therapies by degrading the pro-inflammatory danger molecule ATP, which is released into the tumor microenvironment and normal lung tissue upon therapy-induced cell damage. Thus, while targeting CD73 may enhance the efficacy of radio-immunotherapies in cancer treatment by mitigating tumor immune escape and improving immune-mediated tumor killing, it also raises concerns about increased immune-related adverse events (irAEs) in the normal tissue. In fact, combined radio-immunotherapies bear an increased risk of irAEs in the lungs, and additional pharmacologic inhibition of CD73 may further enhance the risk of overwhelming or overlapping pulmonary toxicity and thereby limit therapy outcome. This review explores how therapeutic interventions targeting CD73/adenosine dynamics could enhance radiation-induced immune activation in combined radio-immunotherapies, whilst potentially driving irAEs in the lung. We specifically investigate the interactions between radiotherapy and the CD73/adenosine pathway in radiation pneumonitis. Additionally, we compare the incidence of (radiation) pneumonitis reported in relevant trials to determine if there is an increased risk of irAEs in the clinical setting. By understanding these dynamics, we aim to inform future strategies for optimizing radio-immunotherapy regimens, ensuring effective cancer control while preserving pulmonary integrity and patient quality of life.
