The Interplay among Mythology, Culture, and the English Language
Authors: Fan Zixuan
Published: March 2024

Mythology refers to traditional stories often involving gods and heroes. Many of these tales have been widely popularized, and in turn, have been found to be of high significance in investigating the evolution of the English language and culture. As mythologies are often passed down through cultures, these tales heavily influence modern traditions and beliefs. They also play an important role in the evolution and development of certain languages. This paper discusses the relationship between mythology, language, and culture through the help of a comparative analysis of mythologies, vocabularies, literary works, and traditions regarding death. The analysis reveals that many English words and phrases originate from Greek and Roman mythology, and that an individual's belief is closely connected to the mythology of the culture they grew up in. This, in turn, proves that mythology cannot be ignored when investigating language and culture, and that an understanding of mythological tales will allow individuals to better appreciate both literature and cultural traditions.

Published: March 2024

The ethics of a politician are a necessity to pay attention to in perfecting religious humanism in the world of politics so that it can produce policies that support a prosperous and prosperous society. However, so far what we have encountered has only been limited to campaigning in the stage of gaining the most votes. The speakers related to political ethics, religious ethics, and the relationship between religion and politics have been discussed by figures such as Al Farabi, Ibnu Taymiyah, Miroljub Jevtic, Anthony Gill and others. Therefore, research like this should continue to be carried out so that the results will have a positive impact on politics and our society in the future.

Research related to ethics was carried out using library research where the sources were taken from materials that focused on highlighting ethics, politics and religion with a data processing process that went through several stages starting with data coding and ending with drawing conclusions. The results of this research determine that the ethics that must be present in a politician to perfect his religious humanism are related to justice, honesty, responsibility, and broad knowledge which are crucial to the formation of a prosperous and prosperous society which can give birth to a civilization of high value.

Detailed studies of sedimentology and petrology of oil fields, especially oil fields located in the seas, play avery important role in reducing the risk of danger, increasing harvest, and reducing the amount of environmentalpollution. The South Pars gas field in the waters of the Persian Gulf on the joint border line of Iran and Qatar andon the south coast of Iran has been used as a comprehensive model for this type of study. In these studies, thesedimentary environment and sequential stratigraphy of the Scorpion and Sarvak Formations in the South Parsgas field in wells 1 and 3 have been investigated. Microscopic studies and analysis of gamma-ray and acousticdiagrams of these formations have led to the identification of 9 facies in three facies belts related to wetland,dam, and open sea. Dam facies have been identified only in Sarvak formation. This study shows that the faciesbelts of the abovementioned formations in a ramp platform are also sloping. Sequence stratigraphy of Kazhdomiand Sarvak Formations in the study wells shows that Kazhdomi Formation has one sedimentary sequence (thirdcategory cycle) and Sarvak Formation has two sedimentary sequences. The lower boundaries of sequences 1 and2 and the upper boundary of sequence 3 have type 1 (SB1) discontinuities, and the boundary between sequences2 and 3 has type 2 (SB2) discontinuities.
A glimpse to botanical garden: Case study in the environment and ecological niche of molave tree
Authors:   Institute of Education, Far Eastern University, Manila, Philippines, V. Caraig Renelle
Published: March 2024

A wood species called molave (Vitex parvifloraJuss.) naturally grows in tropical nations like the Philippines. In themarginal uplands, molave is also a plant that is advised for afforestation. The ecological niche of the molave treeis significant to the balance of the terrestrial ecosystems. The trees serve as producers of the biotic organism andprovide shelter, oxygen and sequester carbon dioxide. The trees also provide support that upholds the land fromerosion and landslides. According to FAO (2004), people in the county continue to unlawfully cut these trees despitethe Philippines’ restriction on doing so, which results in an annual deforestation rate of roughly 2.48%, comparedto 1.4% in the 1990s. Some of the conservation plans of the government includein situconservation, integratedprotected area systems, geographic mapping of species distribution, and education and training activities forconservation planning. Therefore, the molave tree in the Botanical Garden of University of the Philippines LosBanos has a vital role in controlling the balance of the ecosystems together with the living organisms in the areaand must be sustained and protected

Published: March 2024

Background: Invasive sinu-naso-orbital aspergilloma is a rare disease with variable clinical features, but in an immunocompetent patient, it is rarely considered and often resulted in a poor prognosis due to its diagnostic and therapeutic challenges. In this article, we report a rare case of invasive sinu-naso-orbital aspergillosis with intracranial extension following dacryocystorhinostomy. To the best of our knowledge, this is the only reported case in the past 109 years. Case Description: A 61-year-old normotensive nondiabetic male was referred to us from an ophthalmologist with complaints of retro-orbital pain followed by progressive dimness of vision and later blindness on right eye after dacryocystorhinostomy. Diagnosis and Intervention: His MRI reveals an isointense lesion in the T1W and T2W images in the right maxillary, ethmoidal sinus with orbital and retro-orbital, and intracranial extension with heterogeneous contrast enhancement. A radiologist suggested a case of inflammatory pseudotumor, and initially he was treated with steroids due to a lack of clinical response; later, antifungal was given, but the patient still was nonresponsive. A right pterional craniotomy was performed on the patient to access the optic nerve and perform the biopsy. Aspergillus infection was seen by histopathology. Postoperatively, he was treated with voriconazole. Lessons: In immunocompetent individuals, invasive sino-orbital aspergillosis is uncommon. For effective care, early diagnosis is essential. Our advice is that a patient with vague symptoms or retro-orbital discomfort should encourage the doctor to investigate this diagnosis due to the diagnostic difficulties and greater mortality and morbidity rates.
Can Wearing Earrings Cause Headaches?
Authors:   Infectious Diseases, General Practice, Nutrition, Acupuncture and Pain Management Specialist, Medical Acupuncture and Pain Management Clinic, Franca, Sao Paulo, Brazil, L Huang, W.
Published: March 2024

Introduction: Normally Western medicine studies the cause of headaches as a local manifestation and usually asks only for radiological exams to see if the cause of headaches is inside the cranial region. The aim of this study is to show that the cause of headaches can be outside the head, and it is one of the differential diagnoses that the doctor should be aware of in order to treat the patient appropriately and not only treat the symptom with anti-inflammatory drugs. Methods: Three case reports revealed headache manifestations primarily in the peri-ocular region on both sides. They all were wearing earrings in the area of the eye at the auricular point according to auricular medicine. I asked everyone to take out their earrings from the ears, and the headache manifestations ceased in 5 min. This study concludes that the cause of headaches can be outside the head of patients and that headaches could be caused by the use of earrings, mainly when they are in the region corresponding to the eye point, and that only taking out the earrings could stop the headache pain in 5 min without needing to use any kind of medication.
Strategic human resource management practices and organisational performance: A case of the Zambia national assembly of Zambia
Authors: Phiri Kenani , Phiri Jackson , Mutono-Mwanza Bupe Getrude , Mwange Austin
Published: March 2024

The premise of HRM practices is that an organisation's most important resource is its people, and that its performance depends heavily on them. For HRM to have a meaningful impact on organisational performance, an appropriate range of human resource policies and processes must be developed and effectively implemented. SHRM is an approach that defines how the organisation's goals are achieved by its employees through human resource policies and practices that are integrated with the human resource strategy. SHRM's growing popularity is primarily due to its clear commitment to improving organisational performance. However, studies on the linkage between SHRM practices and organisational performance that have been carried out in the African perspective, are very few especially in a public organisation. The purpose of this study was to examine the impact of SHRM practices on organisational performance. The study was conducted at the National Assembly of Zambia which has its presence in all the one hundred and fifty-six (156) Constituencies through Parliamentary Constituency Offices. The study utilised quantitative research method. Data was collected from the study participants using a questionnaire. Collected data was analysed using descriptive statistics and statistical inference (Pearson Correlation Coefficient and Multiple Regression Analysis). The Pearson Correlation Coefficient was used in order to find out the relationship between the variables and the Multiple Regression Analysis was used in order to find out the impact of independent variables on the dependent variable. The hypothesis test results revealed that there was a relationship between all HRM practices and organisational performance at the National Assembly of Zambia. However, it was revealed that organisation and resourcing had a negative and weak, positive impact on organisational performance, respectively. Learning and development, performance and reward management and employee welfare had a significant impact on organisational performance. The study therefore concluded that SHRM practices have significant impacts on performance of the Zambia National Assembly. The study recommended the need for institutional transparency, employee engagement and access to information by employees. The study also recommended that the Zambia National Assembly should also have a deliberate policy on continuous professional development as well as a succession plan policy.

Las "Leyes de las Migraciones" de E. G. Ravenstein, cien años después
Authors: Arango Vila-Belda Joaquín
Published: March 2024

Se examinan los estudios clásicos de migración de E.G. Ravenstein ?Las leyes de las migraciones?, aparecidos en 1885 y 1889 en la revista Jounal of the Royal Statistical Society, para ver su vigencia tras los estudios más recientes. Se llega a la conclusión de que sus estudios conservan su valor básico y que teóricamente son defendibles. Sin embargo, también se aprecia que no contempla adecuadamente la dinámica compleja del crecimiento económico moderno, en una época que hemos pasado de flujos migratorios simples o multidireccionales y bastante más complejos.
El cuerpo sagrado. Acerca de los análisis de fenómenos de posesión religiosa
Authors: Giobellina Brumana Fernando
Published: March 2024

Una revisión de numerosos estudios sobre posesión o trance religioso entre los que se incluyen los cultos brasileños umbandista y candomble, tarantismo entre los campesinos de Italia del Sur, el grupo hindú llamado muria, y diversos cultos africanos (voodoo, p.e.). Quedan descritas las diferentes categorías de posesión y sus rasgos psicológicos y sociológicos. Las teorías y explicaciones existentes sobre el fenómeno se presentan como inadecuadas, realizándose un intento de proporción para una aproximación a la cuestión de manera radicalmente diferente. La propuesta considera los cultos de posesión como un instrumento de control conceptual del mundo exterior, el cual utiliza el cuerpo humano como medio de explicación, por que los sectores sociales envueltos en tales cultos no tienen acceso a otros medios para relacionarse con la realidad.

Posibles influencias de la migración en los cambios de la fecundidad
Authors: Sarrible Pedroni Graciela Delia
Published: March 2024

Las estadísticas de fertilidad de las mujeres nacidas en Barcelona, España, 1970-1981, se comparan con las de las mujeres migrantes (mujeres nacidas fuera de Cataluña). La relación entre migración, nupcialidad y fertilidad aparece como algo complejo. Se investigan las distintas y posibles explicaciones. La fertilidad de las mujeres migrantes no es necesariamente más alta que la de las catalanas, pero las mayores variaciones son observables entre los grupos migratorios, sugiriendo diferencias intrínsecas entre las comunidades origen. Los resultados sugieren que las mujeres que contemplan la migración tienden a retrasar el matrimonio y el parto hasta después del movimiento migratorio.

Authors: Aji Anggit Kuncoro , Hidayatullah Firda , Firmansyah Amrie
Published: March 2024

This study examines the effect of intellectual capital on firm value with tax avoidance as moderation in health sector companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange during the COVID-19 pandemic. CTTOR is employed to find the level of tax avoidance, VAIC is used to find the value of intellectual capital, and Tobin's Q is used to find the firm value. The data used is company financial statement data from 2020 to 2022 using multiple linear regression analysis methods. The type of data is cross-section data and ordinary least squares (OLS) estimation technique. The sample was determined using a purposive sampling technique with a total research sample of 43 data. This study concluded that intellectual capital does not affect firm value. However, after moderation with tax avoidance, the interaction between intellectual capital and tax avoidance has a negative effect on firm value. Therefore, tax avoidance can moderate the effect of intellectual capital on firm value by reducing the negative effect of intellectual capital on firm value during the COVID-19 pandemic. The results of this study can be additional information for the Indonesian Capital Market Supervisory Authority (OJK) and the Tax Authority (DGT) in making rules regarding tax avoidance. OJK can also make policies regarding reporting the company's intellectual capital in one account to make it easier for novice investors to understand. DGT can utilize this research to evaluate corporate tax avoidance.

Published: March 2024

Global health and treatment approaches aim to combine complementary and alternative medicine with evidence-based medicine to better comprehend the human body’s metabolic processes. The kiwi fruit frequently referred to as the "Chinese gooseberry" belongs to the Actinidiaceae family and is classified as Actinidia genus andspecies deliciosa. Kiwi fruit has seen a significant increase in demand recently because of its high vitamin C content.Kiwi fruit is also a great source of antioxidants, carotenoids, iron, and dietary fiber. These could help regulate blood sugar, reduce blood pressure, promote wound healing, and enhance intestinal health. Antioxidants such as vitamin C, choline, lutein, and zeaxanthin help the body eliminate free radicals and may shield the body from a number of illnesses and inflammations. Contributing significantly to the flavonoid and phenolic contents in kiwi fruit, it is a primary source of phytochemicals such as caffeic acid, gallic acid, syringic acid, salicylic acid, ferulic acid, and protocatechuic acid. Numerous pharmacological qualities, such as anti-diabetic, anti- tumor, anti-inflammatory, anti-ulcer, antioxidant activity, hypoglycemia, hypolipidemic, and many more, have been linked to kiwi fruit and its constituents. In addition to these, kiwi fruit is traditionally used to treat microbiological infections, rheumatoid arthritis, hepatitis, edema, and renal issues. The fiber in kiwi fruit promotes the fruit's ability to retain water, which helps to shorten transit times and preserves the person's gastrointestinal health. Studies are also being conducted on the homeostatic balance, weight maintenance, and insulin and glucose balance in relation to kiwi fruit consumption.

Examining the Impact of Baumol’s Cost Disease in Brazilian Municipal Education: A Decade Analysis (2009-2019)
Authors: Costa Nunes Ricardo da , Nunes André
Published: March 2024

This paper examines the phenomenon known as Baumol’s cost disease within the Brazilian educational sector between 2009 and 2019, marked by substantial changes in teacher salaries and student-teacher ratios. Baumol’s cost disease describes the rise in salaries despite low productivity growth in sectors that do not benefit substantially from technological improvements. In education, salaries increased by establishing a national wage floor and decreasing student-teacher ratios. The study adapts Baumol’s model to the modern educational context, analysing the correlation between teacher remuneration and productivity and incorporating contemporary economic and policy dynamics. The findings indicate that, contrary to the theoretical expectation of a U-shaped curve for per capita educational spending, costs per student tend to decrease with the increase in municipal population size, with an exception observed in the largest cities. This paper contributes to the understanding of public spending on education in Brazil, highlighting the need for differentiated policy approaches to manage escalating costs in smaller municipalities and ensure equitable education quality across different municipal sizes.
SENTIDO COMÚN Y CLASE SOCIAL: UNA FUNDAMENTACIÓN FENOMENOLÓGICA
Authors: Krause Mercedes
Published: March 2024

Aunque durante años hemos asistido a un persistente interés sociológico por la dimensión subjetiva de las prácticas de clase, hasta la fecha pocos son los estudios que han abordado esta problemática desde la perspectiva fenomenológica. Tomando como punto de partida autores que nos antecedieron en esta tarea, el objetivo del presente trabajo es reflexionar sobre los fundamentos de la teoría fenomenológica de Schutz sobre la acción social y su conceptualización de las tipificaciones para el análisis del sentido común y las prácticas de clase. En la primera sección proponemos una breve discusión conceptual en torno a la definición del mundo de la vida proveniente de la teoría de Schutz y su utilidad para el análisis de la estructura social en la línea teórico-metodológica que analiza la reproducción intra-clase y las relaciones entre clases. A continuación resumimos las ideas y conceptos de Weber sobre las clases sociales, acción social y tipo ideal, para luego establecer sus nexos y relaciones con Schutz. Por último, e incorporando la resignificación y complejización que Schutz da a los términos weberianos, proponemos el uso de herramientas fenomenológicas para el análisis de clase.

Published: March 2024

En el marco de las investigaciones en torno a los paisajes territoriales e interculturales, este trabajo recoge experiencias y recorridos literarios, semióticos y culturales en la frontera y al mismo tiempo despliega un relato de los avatares que atraviesa la tarea de exploración, recopilación, construcción y conservación de los archivos de autor que forman parte del patrimonio cultural-literario de la provincia de Misiones, así como sus consecuentes derivas hacia las nuevas formas de preservación y difusión.En este escrito, nos ocuparemos de presentar los criterios, definiciones y avances en la construcción del Banco-Archivo-Biblioteca de los autores territoriales, enmarcado en el proyecto de investigación Territorios literarios e interculturales. Archivos y constelaciones autorales en diálogo. Su aporte consiste en la propuesta de una intercalación teórico-metodológica para el abordaje de los archivos de autor, en tanto propone la resignificación de postulados propios de la crítica genética desde una mirada semiótica e intercultural.Asimismo, nuestra exposición se articulará a partir de la postulación y definición de los autores territoriales como aquellos escritores cuyas producciones han desencadenado una serie de reflexiones en torno al espacio y el contexto en el cual la literatura se produce. Desde esta perspectiva, la literatura del territorio misionero no se limita al simple muestreo de elementos pintoresquistas y esencialistas, del folklorismo o del color local, sino que habilita la conversación y la mirada crítica con una serie de representaciones identitarias, políticas y culturales que se desencadenan de los posicionamientos estratégicos de estos autores e intelectuales. Por tanto, la construcción de este Banco estará acompañada por la puesta en circulación de discursos críticos que problematicen las relaciones entre la escritura literaria y las prácticas culturales: los archivos recopilan las obras (libros, revistas, antologías, etc.) de autores misioneros, pero también atienden a sus archivos personales —con la consiguiente selección, digitalización y análisis crítico— que posibilitan reconstruir perfiles, imágenes y representaciones múltiples de estos autores, gestores y productores territoriales.

Authors: Miguel Paula , Saferstein Ezequiel
Published: March 2024

Este trabajo analiza la producción editorial en los conglomerados globales de la edición en Argentina. Sus trayectorias y perfiles profesionales, la forma en que encaran la producción editorial, el marketing y la gestión editorial, entre otras cuestiones, contribuyen a dar cuenta de elementos comunes. Entre esos elementos comunes se encuentra el imperativo de publicar y vender libros, propio de los grandes grupos editoriales, la conformación de un editor de tendencias y lo que analíticamente podemos pensar como la conformación de un ethos que combina elementos que hacen al reconocimiento de “un buen editor” y que están presentes en una formación profesional que se entrecruza con diferentes experiencias en el desarrollo vital y concepciones de lo individual. Allí entran en tensión mecanismos opacos de “inspiración” o “intuición” creativa, con la lógica empresarial que busca transparentar mecanismos de producción de un éxito de ventas y se combinan en lo que los editores identifican como “olfato comercial”, que implica adaptaciones y regulaciones en distintos niveles de la práctica profesional y personal.El trabajo se basa en los resultados de investigaciones en curso que, mediante un abordaje cualitativo, buscan analizar diferentes formas de producción, circulación y usos de bienes “creativos” entendiendo que en tales circuitos se encuentran implícitas particulares nociones de la subjetividad.
POLÍTICA EXTERIOR CHINA HACIA LOS PROCESOS DE INTEGRACIÓN REGIONAL DE ASEAN: EL FORO REGIONAL DE ASEAN Y ASEAN PLUS THREE
Authors: Rubiolo María Florencia
Published: March 2024

Resumen Desde principios de los noventa, China ha demostrado una postura más activa respecto de los procesos multilaterales en el Este Asiático, aunque en diferente grado dependiendo del área temática. Mientras que en el plano económico Beijing ha demostrado un marcado entusiasmo e iniciativa, en el plano estratégico las reticencias a tratar problemas en ámbitos multilaterales han sido mayores. Sin embargo, a través de las interacciones con ASEAN, su participación se volvió más activa al tiempo que aumentó su predisposición a discutir temas sensibles en organismos liderados por la organización. En este artículo presentamos una visión introductoria, dirigida a un público no especializado en el tema, de la política exterior china hacia el Foro Regional de ASEAN y ASEAN Plus Three.
POBLACIÓN MUNDIAL Y DE AMÉRICA LATINA Y EL CARIBE: TRANSFORMACIONES Y NUEVOS (DES) EQUILIBRIOS
Authors: CEPAL CELADE
Published: March 2024

El artículo examina las notables transformaciones demográficas que ha experimentado América Latina y el Caribe en las últimas décadas, sus especificidades y los grandes desafíos que plantean para la adecuación cuantitativa y cualitativa de nuestras sociedades, sus instituciones y las respuestas de política que demandan. En 2011, la región representaba el 8,6% de la población mundial; a partir de 2015, la fecundidad regional se ubicará por debajo del nivel de reemplazo, el crecimiento de su población será inferior al promedio mundial y su peso relativo en el total disminuirá hasta un 6,8% en 2100. Actualmente, la región está experimentando los beneficios de una estructura por edad abundante en adultos jóvenes, la que puede proporcionar un gran impulso a las economías emergentes latinoamericanas en el mediano plazo si se refuerza con políticas sostenidas de incremento del capital humano y la productividad. El Brasil, por ejemplo, podría convertirse en 2050 en la cuarta economía mundial y México en la séptima. Entre tanto, el proceso de urbanización continúa, pero con cierta estabilización que puede aprovecharse para proyectar escenarios de localización a largo plazo y encarar los déficits históricos que dejó el patrón de asentamiento preponderante en el siglo XX.
DE LAS ASAMBLEAS BARRIALES A LAS ASAMBLEAS SOCIO-AMBIENTALES: LA CONSTRUCCIÓN DE NUEVAS SUBJETIVIDADES POLÍTICAS. ARGENTINA 2001-2011.
Authors: Hadad María Gisela , Comelli María , Petz María Inés
Published: March 2024

El siguiente artículo analiza la vinculación entre las asambleas barriales surgidas en Argentina a partir de las jornadas del 19 y 20 de diciembre de 2001 y las asambleas socioambientales que emergen en el país con posterioridad. Nos interesa indagar acerca de sus continuidades y rupturas, y de la posibilidad de concebirlas como formas políticas emergentes que estarían evidenciando, en ambos casos, una crisis de la institucionalidad, y en el caso particular de las asambleas socioambientales, también una crisis paradigmática del orden social y económico. A partir de los objetivos propuestos, daremos cuenta de la conformación de ambos momentos asamblearios, analizaremos sus características y reflexionaremos, desde una perspectiva sociopolítica, sobre sus alcances y sus limitaciones, focalizando tanto en encontrar las huellas de las asambleas barriales en las experiencias socioambientales, como en marcar sus peculiaridades, que las constituyen, a nuestro entender, en una propuesta de largo alcance y duración, y de mayor profundidad.
Cosmeceuticals; The Fusion of Cosmetics and Pharmaceuticals

Published: March 2024

Cosmeceuticals, a fusion of cosmetics and pharmaceuticals, have emerged as powerful tools in addressing a myriad of skin concerns, ranging from combating signs of aging to managing acne. These advanced skincare products are distinguished by their enriched formulations, featuring active ingredients that go beyond traditional cosmetic offerings. The key to unlocking their full potential lies in a nuanced understanding of individual skin types and specific needs. One of the primary advantages of cosmeceuticals is their ability to deliver tailored solutions for diverse skincare issues. Whether someone is seeking to diminish fine lines and wrinkles, control acne breakouts, or address hyperpigmentation, these products are designed to provide targeted benefits. The incorporation of potent ingredients, such as retinoids, hyaluronic acid, and antioxidants, allows for a more sophisticated and effective approach to skincare. To harness the maximum benefits of cosmeceuticals, it is crucial to comprehend the unique characteristics of one's skin. Different skin types, whether oily, dry, sensitive, or combination, necessitate specific formulations to achieve optimal results. Tailoring the skincare routine to individual needs ensures that active ingredients address concerns without causing unnecessary irritation or imbalance. Moreover, the synergy between cosmeceuticals and professional cosmetic treatments can elevate skincare outcomes. Combining the benefits of at-home products with in-office procedures, such as chemical peels or laser treatments, can enhance and prolong the effectiveness of the overall skincare regimen. Professional guidance becomes invaluable in navigating the intricate landscape of cosmeceuticals, helping individuals customize their routines for optimal results. However, the transformative potential of cosmeceuticals comes with a responsibility for cautious application. Ingredient compatibility is a critical consideration to avoid adverse reactions and maximize efficacy.
Long Non-Coding RNAs in Kidney Injury: A Comprehensive Review
Authors: Bhat Ramdas , Shanbhag Preeti
Published: March 2024

Kidney injury, a global health challenge, necessitates a nuanced understanding of molecular intricacies for effective interventions. Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs), once dismissed as transcriptional noise, now emerge as pivotal players in orchestrating renal health. Dysregulation of specific lncRNAs like TUG1, MALAT1, H19, and NEAT1 provides molecular signatures, distinguishing physiological states from pathological conditions. In acute kidney injury (AKI), TUG1 and MALAT1 regulate apoptosis, inflammation, and fibrosis. Chronic kidney disease (CKD) involves lncRNAs like H19 and NEAT1 modulating cell proliferation and apoptosis. Beyond diagnostics, lncRNAs actively shape inflammation, apoptosis, and fibrosis, positioning them as master regulators in the intricate ballet of kidney health. Recent strides in research, coupled with cutting-edge genomics and bioinformatics tools, highlight their roles and therapeutic potential. Challenges in understanding their intricate roles and interactions necessitate the exploration of promising avenues, including single-cell RNA sequencing and artificial intelligence, paving the way for personalized interventions and regenerative medicine in kidney diseases.
