Authors: CESAR SHYMENA DE OLIVEIRA BARROS BRANDÃO , Tenório Marta Diana Lucindo
Published: February 2025

Com a declaração da pandemia da COVID-19 pela Organização Mundial de Saúde, foram adotadas, globalmente, medidas preventivas de distanciamento social para evitar o colapso dos sistemas de saúde, sendo recomendado que fossem evitadas aglomerações e adotadas medidas sanitárias (v.g. uso de álcool gel). Em razão disso, algumas atividades presenciais do Poder Judiciário foram suspensas e outras passaram a ser desenvolvidas eletronicamente. Quanto à carta precatória, sua expedição foi, em geral, substituída pela prática eletrônica de atos processuais. Logo, discutir-se-á, preliminarmente, sobre o possível esvaziamento da essência da carta precatória frente à possibilidade da prática de atos processuais na modalidade eletrônica.
MODELO COOPERATIVO DE PROCESSO E EMBARGOS DE DECLARAÇÃO: O ÔNUS ARGUMENTATIVO NA IMPOSIÇÃO DE MULTAS POR PROTELAÇÃO
Authors: Barbosa Leonardo Máximo
Published: February 2025

O presente artigo analisa, diante do modelo cooperativo de processo, uma questão em específico, qual seja: a imposição de multa pelos órgãos jurisdicionais na hipótese de manejo de embargos declaratórios considerados manifestamente protelatórios. De início é definido o que se entende por modelo cooperativo de processo e as profundas alterações que ele introduz na relação do órgão jurisdicional com as partes. É enfatizado o importante papel que os embargos de declaração exercem para a qualificação da decisão judicial. Nessa linha, destaca-se que a previsão da aplicação de multa pelo seu uso manifestamente protelatório exige a devida fundamentação pelo Poder Judiciário, não sendo admissível orientações jurisprudenciais que tornem como padrão a aplicação da sanção, pelo simples fato da improcedência do recurso.

On the second day, her fetus had bradycardia as a result of maternal hypothermia. Infusion of warmed fluid and providing a warm blanket were the definite treatment in this case. However, the fetal heart rate gradually returned to normal after rewarming the patient. We discharged the patient in a good state after one week. No complications were noticed.
The Inverse Relationship between Acute Myocardial Infarction and Dissolved Oxygen Levels in Water
Authors: Arturo Solís Herrera , María del Carmen Arias Esparza , Ruth Isabel Solís Arias
Published: February 2025

Stroke and acute myocardial infarction are primary global causes of mortality. Statistical studies have shown that acute myocardial infarction is responsible for around 9 million deaths each year. Ischemic stroke and myocardial infarction have a significant role in global adult physical disabilities. While reperfusion is vital for tissue recovery, it may paradoxically, inadvertently increase damage through oxidative stress, inflammation, and cell death. Early reperfusion procedures are currently the sole therapy to reduce infarct size.
There are many mysteries about heart biology. It is not known the source of energy for myocardial tissues. The heart-beating force (120 mm Hg) cannot explain how erythrocytes are impelled through almost 95,000 km of capillaries in less than 5 minutes. A better knowledge of how the heart is oxygenated should allow the development of new therapies.

A Comparative Political Discourse of Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman and US President Donald Trump’s Speeches: Articulating Tolerance and Love
Authors: Altalahin Ayman , Farghal Tariq Mohammed , Alfawareh Abdalaziz
Published: February 2025

The study examines how the articulation of the values of tolerance and love is constructed linguistically, rhetorically, and politically in the speeches of Saudi Prince Mohammed bin Salman and US President Donald Trump. By adopting a Political Discourse Analysis framework integrating both Critical Discourse Analysis and a textual-contextual approach, the study investigates both leaders' linguistic and rhetorical strategies to mold narratives and shape public perception. By addressing speeches selected for their socio-political importance and thematic orientation on love and tolerance, the data is subjected to the textual examination of linguistic elements including lexicon, metaphors, and narrative structures that carry the effect of inclusivity and emotive attractiveness. The study delves in revealing persuasive techniques by scrutinizing the rhetorical strategies incorporating attraction to ethos, pathos, and logos. The CDA shows how these speeches either mirror or debate ideologues, social norms, power dynamics, and discrepancies between leaders’ stated values and subliminal messages. The study's findings classify the speeches into national unity, cultural identity, and global diplomacy themes. Prince Mohammad bin Salman’s discourse focuses on economic reforms, modernity, and international adaptations, while Trump’s speeches engage in patriotism incorporated with nationalistic assertions mirroring two distinct socio-political contexts. The study contributes to understanding the discursive strategies of political speeches in shaping public opinion and how language interacts constructively with power image, aesthetic values, and leadership narrative in contemporary international politics.

INTRODUCTION. The administration of 5-[5-(trifluoromethyl)-1,2-oxazole-3-yl]-furan-2-sulfonamide (TFISA) into the eyes can reduce intraocular pressure. Currently, this novel selective carbonic anhydrase II inhibitor is at the preclinical research stage. The excretion of TFISA and its metabolites has not been studied yet.

AIM. This study aimed to calculate the parameters of urinary and faecal excretion of TFISA and its major metabolites in rats.

MATERIALS AND METHODS. The study was performed in 6 Wistar rats (3 males and 3 females). The rats received an instillation of 1% TFISA ophthalmic suspension in each eye at a dose of 3.7 mg/kg. Stool samples were taken prior to TFISA administration and at multiple intervals up to 360 h afterwards. Excreta were collected using metabolic cages. The study used high-performance liquid chromatography with tandem mass spectrometry (HPLC–MS/MS) to measure the concentrations of TFISA, N-acetyl-5-[5-(trifluoromethyl)-1,2-oxazole-3-yl]-furan-2-sulfonamide (M2), and N-hydroxy-5-[5-(trifluoromethyl)-1,2-oxazole-3-yl]-furan-2-sulfonamide (M1) with its degradation product 5-[5-(trifluoromethyl)-1,2-oxazole-3-yl]-furan-2-sulfonic acid (M3) in the excreta.

RESULTS. The study involved full validation of bioanalytical procedures for the determination of TFISA and its metabolites in rat excreta. The analytical ranges were 10–10,000 ng/mL for the urinary levels of TFISA, M2, and M3; 1–1,000 ng/mL for the urinary levels of M1; 10–4,000 ng/g for the faecal levels of TFISA; 5–2,000 ng/g for the faecal levels of M2 and M3; and 1–1000 ng/g for the faecal levels of M1. Out of the total amount eliminated, 45.7±2.0% of unchanged TFISA, 38.7±2.7% of TFISA in the form of M1 and its degradation product M3, and 4.0±0.6% of TFISA in the form of M2 were excreted in urine, while 8.2±1.0% of unchanged TFISA and 3.3±0.2% of the N-hydroxy metabolite M3 were excreted in faeces. TFISA elimination continued for up to 336 h after administration.

CONCLUSION. The developed and successfully validated bioanalytical procedures were used to study the excretion of TFISA and its metabolites in rats after single-dose administration of the ophthalmic TFISA suspension. According to the results, TFISA is predominantly excreted unchanged in urine. In addition, TFISA is eliminated as its N-hydroxy metabolite, which almost completely degrades to the sulfonic acid derivative during the sampling process. The N-acetyl metabolite of TFISA is minor and is exclusively excreted in urine.
Examining regional economic differences in Europe: The power of ANFIS analysis
Authors:   Department of Economics, University of Zadar, Zadar, Croatia, Bosna Jurica
Published: February 2025

The paper analyzes the interrelation between labour markets, demographic factors, and economic performance in Northern and Southeastern European countries during the period 2012–2023, using advanced ANFIS methodology. The aim of the study was to identify key differences between the developed countries of Northern Europe (Sweden, Norway, Finland) and the less developed countries of Southeastern Europe (Croatia, Bulgaria, Romania) and to pinpoint factors contributing to sustainable economic development. The research findings reveal significant differences in labour market structures, the impact of demographic factors, and resilience to macroeconomic shocks between the regions studied. Developed Northern European countries demonstrate high productivity levels, labour market stability, and resistance to inflation, while less developed Southeastern European countries are characterized by greater sensitivity to inflation and a higher dependency on low wages. The analysis highlights the need for structural reforms and increased investment in human capital and technology in less developed countries to reduce their reliance on volatile factors and foster sustainable growth. This paper contributes to understanding the complex relationships between labour markets, demographic factors, and economic performance and provides guidance for formulating effective public policies within the European Union.

Published: February 2025

An increasing number of real-world interventions aim to preemptively protect or inoculate people against misinformation. Inoculation research has demonstrated positive effects on misinformation resilience when measured immediately after treatment via messages, games, or videos. However, very little is currently known about their long-term effectiveness and the mechanisms by which such treatment effects decay over time. We start by proposing three possible models on the mechanisms driving resistance to misinformation. We then report five pre-registered longitudinal experiments (Ntotal = 11,759) that investigate the effectiveness of psychological inoculation interventions over time as well as their underlying mechanisms. We find that text-based and video-based inoculation interventions can remain effective for one month—whereas game-based interventions appear to decay more rapidly—and that memory-enhancing booster interventions can enhance the diminishing effects of counter-misinformation interventions. Finally, we propose an integrated memory-motivation model, concluding that misinformation researchers would benefit from integrating knowledge from the cognitive science of memory to design better psychological interventions that can counter misinformation durably over time and at-scale.
Demography of grandmothering – a case study in Agta foragers

Published: February 2025

Women who care for multiple highly dependent children require significant support from non-maternal caregivers (allomothers). Theoretically, grandmothers are seen as key allomothers due to low costs and high inclusive fitness returns. Empirically, however, the evidence is inconsistent and the reasons for this variation are not well-understood. Understanding the factors which promote, or hinder, grandmaternal childcare, such as demographic schedules, is an important next step. Here, we explore the demographic predictors of the low levels of grandmothering for 78 Agta children. Due to generational fertility trends (ages of first and last birth) grandmothers still had dependent children until an average age of 52, creating reproductive overlap. Little to no grandmaternal investment after the age of 60 is explained by declining health in older women due to high mortality rates. This means the ‘helping window’ for grandmothering only spans seven years on average, yet the impact of this period is still be limited by multiple dependent grandchildren given high total fertility rates. We suggest then that grandmothering is constrained by 1) generational reproductive overlap and 2) grandchildren competition. Accordingly, we tested how: 1) the number of dependent children and 2) grandchildren associated with grandmothering using Bayesian mixed-effect models. We found moderate to strong evidence that the more children/grandchildren a women had, the lower her investment in each grandchild. Consequently, whether grandmothers help, or not, appears to be a function of demographic schedules, which vary widely. Future formal demographic modelling then will help shed light on the evolution of grandmothering in humans.

Introduction: Acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) has a rapidly developing evidence base, with few studies in the developing world or humanitarian context. A recent trial of a guided self-help intervention derived from ACT reported significant positive findings, but the extent to which the central principles of this intervention were maintained and implemented have not been explored.Objective: To examine the role of psychological flexibility as a potential mediator in the relationship between involvement in a guided self-help intervention, Self Help Plus, and psychological distress in a sample of South Sudanese refugee women living in northern Uganda.Methods: We conducted secondary analysis of data from a cluster randomized controlled trial conducted in 2018. We used multilevel mediation modeling to explore the relationship of psychological flexibility, as measured by the Acceptance and Action Questionnaire (AAQ-II), as a mediating factor in the relationship between Self Help Plus involvement and general psychological distress as measured by the Kessler-6 (K6).Results: We found strong multilevel mediation of decreased K6 scores in the treatment group by AAQ-II scores (multilevel b = -3.28). A more pronounced mediation effect was discovered immediately post intervention (b = -1.09) compared to 3-month follow-up (b = -0.84). This is in line with the current literature that demonstrates the role of psychological flexibility as a primary mechanism of change in ACT-based interventions.Conclusions: Psychological flexibility is a contributing component in the theory of change for this ACT-based intervention. Identifying the core components of interventions allows for more effective adaptation and implementation of relevant services, especially in low-resource contexts.
The Instant Food Revolution: Exploring Modern Consumer Buying Patterns
Authors: Mathew Anu P. , Mathew Dinoy
Published: February 2025

Aims: This research explores the evolving consumer purchasing behavior towards instant food products, focusing on the Central Kerala region. The study investigates the impact of demographic factors on consumer perceptions, the influence of instant food products, and the role of gender, income, and occupation in shaping purchasing decisions. Additionally, it examines consumer awareness of potential health risks associated with instant food consumption.
Methodology: Employing a descriptive and analytical research design, data were gathered from 240 respondents in Central Kerala, using a structured questionnaire and analyzed through statistical tools like SPSS, MS Excel, and various inferential tests, including the Kruskal-Wallis H Test, Mann-Whitney U Test, and Pearson Correlation.
Results: Findings reveal that convenience, taste, and time-saving benefits are primary drivers of instant food consumption, especially among urban residents and working professionals. Advertising, peer recommendations, and personal preferences significantly influence purchasing behavior. However, a notable concern for health risks associated with processed foods, such as obesity, diabetes, and heart disease, is emerging among consumers. This health consciousness is reshaping consumer choices, prompting a demand for healthier instant food options.
Implications: The study concludes that while convenience and taste remain pivotal, there is a clear shift towards health-conscious decision-making among consumers. This presents a critical opportunity for businesses and policymakers to offer healthier alternatives and promote nutritional awareness.
Evaluation of Botanical Extracts for their efficacy against In-vitro growth of Sclerotium rolfsii
Authors: Khadka Bharat
Published: February 2025

Sclerotium rolfsii is a necrotrophic, soil-borne plant pathogenic fungus associated with economically significant diseases causing mainly collar rot, southern blight, seedling blight, and stem rot on more than 500 plant species including almost all agronomical and horticultural crops. In contrast to chemical fungicides, plant extracts do not cause pollution and are easily biodegradable, therefore the current study focuses on the affordable, environmentally friendly, safe, and sustainable control of diseases through botanical extracts. An experiment was conducted at the Institute of Agriculture and Animal Science, Lamjung Campus, Plant Pathology Laboratory to ascertain the effectiveness of botanical extracts against this pathogen. Under the in-vitro study, five botanical extracts viz. Allium sativum, Zingiber officinale, Datura stramonium, Azadirachta indica, and Allium cepa were evaluated at three different concentrations (5%, 10%, and 15%) using the poisoned food technique in a Completely Randomized Design and each concentration was replicated three times. The purpose of the study was to assess their efficacy against the mycelial growth of S. rolfsii. The data were analyzed using R-software in R-studio and means were compared at a 5% significance level using Duncan’s Multiple Range Test (DMRT). All tested chemicals reduced the pathogen's mycelial development compared to the control. Data on pathogen mycelial growth were collected after 24, 48, and 72 hours of incubation. After 72 hours, among all the tested botanicals, the pathogen’s growth was significantly inhibited by 15% Allium sativum (growth inhibition of 80.9%) followed by 15% Azadirachta indica (74.8%), and by 15% Zingiber officinale (70.1%). Datura stramonium at 5% showed the least growth inhibition (12.1%) which was statistically at par with the effect of Allium cepa at 5% concentration (14.9%). Further research and field trials should be conducted to select appropriate concentrations of botanical extracts to con-trol the disease pathogen economically and sustainably.

Given the events in 2022, characterised by Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, the financial markets were affected by a spiral of mistrust and overreactions in various geographies. The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the serial autocorrelation of stock prices on the capital mar­kets of Slovakia (SAX 16), Hungary (BUX), Russia (MOEX), the Czech Repub­lic (PRAGUE SE PX) and Slovenia (SBI TOP), during the period from 24 Feb­ruary 2022 to 23 November 2023, encompassing the Russian invasion of Ukraine in 2022. In the Hungarian (BUX) and Slovakian (SAX 16) markets, price movements are not random but influenced by their historical prices, suggesting investor overreactions to new information. On the other hand, in the markets, Russia (MOEX), the Czech Republic (PRAGUE SE PX) and Slo­venia (SBI TOP), price movements show a positive correlation with their his­tories, indicating more predictable patterns in investor behaviour.
Analyzing Consumer Attitudes Towards Religious Marketing Among the Visitors of Krishna-Conscious Communities in Europe
Authors: Bence-Kiss Krisztina
Published: February 2025

Religion and marketing are two concepts rarely discussed in the same context. Still, spreading beliefs has always been fundamental to reli­gious communities; and nowadays more and more religious groups turn to­wards modern forms of marketing, such as online and social media mar­keting, to gain more followers. Research findings are contradictory on how consumers react to the promotion activities of religious groups: while some studies account for a high level of consumer rejection towards religious mar­keting, others find that there is a level of understanding towards religious communities. This research aims to study and discuss the consumer atti­tudes of the visitors of Krishna-conscious communities in Europe concerning marketing religions on a sample of 330 respondents. The research findings have shown that there are consumer groups with variable attitudes towards different aspects of promoting religion, including promotion and tourism, product sales, economic activities, and credibility.
Unveiling Public Sentiment: The Role of Social Media in Shaping Perception of Conflicts
Authors: Dalipaj Elja , Mansi Egla , Feruni Nerajda
Published: February 2025

Social media networks have become a critical tool for sharing in­formation and influencing public opinion on controversial political or so­cial events. Recent studies have revealed that users tend to alter the content before sharing it, hence spreading a point of view contrary to that of the original author. This phenomenon plays a significant role in shaping pub­lic opinion on delicate political matters, particularly considering the com­mon bias found in press reports and articles favoring certain ideological or political factions, which contradicts the supposed neutrality of the media. Hence, this study focuses on the ongoing global conflicts, aiming to uncov­er insights into how social media users are influenced by the political rhet­oric of prominent political figures worldwide. Our dataset consists of more than 1,000 comments on social media platforms, including Facebook and Twitter, where the French president discusses his views on the ongoing con­flict. This study utilizes natural language processing (NLP) techniques to an­alyze sentiment dynamics, media influence, temporal patterns, and user be­haviors within the comments section of social media platforms. The aim is to observe how the public’s perception is formed, including their attitudes towards support dynamics such as donations and other forms of assistance. The authors employ various methodologies to meticulously gather and pro­cess information from diverse sources, including data scraping. This ap­proach ensures the creation of a comprehensive and representative data­set for the study. The findings detect an underlying trend and correlation between the political conversation and societal stance, shedding light on the interplay of the two. The research aims to potentially inform the public, humanitarian organizations, and policymakers on the interplay between these variables and highlight the significance of using data-driven method­ologies to unravel the geopolitical discourse and the societal implications.
Safety Stock Studies in Aerospace Organisations in Times of Transformation
Authors: Leopardi Federico
Published: February 2025

Amid the ongoing recovery from the disruptions caused by COVID-19 in aviation supply chains, optimizing resources is crucial for com­petitiveness and cost reduction. Major aircraft manufacturers have been ramping up their programs, placing added pressure on supply chains to adapt. Effective supply chain management requires careful inventory op­timization, with Safety Stock (SS) playing a crucial role as a buffer against stockouts or disruptions. SS can be strategically placed before or after pro­duction to address uncertainties. This gap in niche areas, affecting various sectors beyond aerospace, underscores the need for a thorough examina­tion of challenges faced during times of transformation. Factors influencing SS creation and decisions regarding Make/Buy items were explored, along with the optimal placement of SS within the Bill of Materials (BOM). To nav­igate these complexities, in this paper, the authors have applied qualitative methodologies involving interviews with key stakeholders from procure­ment, production, and planning. Successfully managing times of change requires a nuanced understanding of a company’s operations, emphasizing the importance of effective SS management in turbulent times.

The primary purpose of this study is to compare the levels of effi­ciency between the Islamic cryptocurrency (HelloGold), the ecological cryp­tocurrencies Cardano (ADA) and Stellar (XLM) and the traditional digital currencies Bitcoin (BTC) and Ethereum (ETH) over the period from 24 Feb­ruary 2022 to 28 January 2024. Analysing the DFA exponents reveals differ­ent types of memory in the digital currencies time series. The Islamic digi­tal currency HelloGold (HGT) exhibits short-term memory, suggesting prof­it opportunities based on recent trends. In contrast, the green cryptocur­rency Cardano (ADA) shows long-term memory, indicating the influence of long-term events and trends on prices. The digital currency Stellar (XLM) does not show a clear short-term or long-term memory trend, making it dif­ficult to predict future movements. Meanwhile, Bitcoin (BTC) and Ethereum (ETH) exhibit long-term memory, suggesting that their prices are affected by long-term trends. These results have important implications for investors and traders when adjusting their trading strategies according to the behav­iour observed in cryptocurrency prices.

It offers insights into the implications for customer relationship management (CRM), emphasizing enhanced cus­tomer segmentation, personalized marketing strategies, and improved en­gagement. However, this integration presents challenges related to data pri­vacy, ethical considerations, and regulatory compliance. The study exam­ines these challenges and proposes strategies for responsible implementa­tion while ensuring transparency and trust in customer relationships. The proposed integration involves redefining the CRM Vision to prioritize hy­per-personalization, adapting core CRM activities to accommodate genet­ic data, and emphasizing robust data privacy measures. This research aims to inform businesses about the transformative potential of genetic insights in CRM processes and the importance of ethical and compliant practices.
The Dynamics of Direct Procurement in Albania: A 14-Year Analysis
Authors: Kapedani Etion , Martiri Edlira
Published: February 2025

Governments spend part of taxpayers’ money through Public Procurement. Depending on the scope and requirements, public bodies use different forms of contracting: open tenders, requests for proposals, etc. By far, the most problematic form is Direct Procurement because it significantly limits the competition from the private sector, unlike other forms of procure­ment where competition is a given. It is precisely the scope of this study to examine the dynamics of Direct Procurement in Albania from 2009 to 2022.

In this study period, Albania spent 581 Million Euros via Direct Procure­ment in 18,990 different contracts. This study finds that although savings amounted to 2.1%, significantly lower than other forms of procurement that are more competitive, Albania has been decreasing the usage of Direct Pro­curement. Data shows a considerable decline trend in the number of con­tracts and amount of funds dedicated to an un-competitive procedure such as Direct Procurement.

Through semi-structured interviews, focus groups, and document analysis, data were collected from a diverse group of students. Findings show that students rate their level of information and digital literacy as average, which may suggest some uncertainty about the applicability of these competencies in academic and professional settings. The study highlights the crucial role of educators in promoting these skills through targeted interventions. Recommendations are offered for policy development and practical strategies to bridge the skills gap.
Risks for Academic Research and Possible Responses
Authors: Paprica P. Alison
Published: February 2025

Academic research projects receive hundreds of billions of dollars in government investment each year. They complement business research projects by generating new foundational knowledge and addressing societal challenges. Despite the magnitude and importance of academic research, the management of it is often ad hoc. It has been postulated that academic research projects' inherent uncertainty and complexity make them challenging to manage. However, this retrospective analysis of input and voting from more than 500 academic research team members in facilitated risk management sessions found that many of the negative risks perceived as important were general, as opposed to being research-specific. Across 15 separate facilitated sessions, the top negative risks were related to funding, personnel, unreliable partners, study participant recruitment, and data access. Many of these risks would require system- or organization-level responses that are beyond the scope of individual academic research teams.

This study investigated twenty parameters associated with mineral ion absorption and morpho-physiological traits to discern the unique characteristics of various Opuntia species exposed to different salt concentrations (200 mM, 400 mM, and 600 mM). The data revealed that under 200 mM and 400 mM NaCl stress, the most distinguishing traits were the Na+ content in roots and cladodes, along with K+ content in cladodes. The species clustered into three groups, with O. amyclea and O. fícus indica demonstrating the highest salt tolerance. Under 600 mM salt stress, the content K+, Na+ and K+/ Na+ ratio of cladode, were identified as the most discriminant traits based on the calculated F-ratio. Biplot-based species analysis indicated that O. engelmannii and O. fícus indica exhibited the highest salt tolerance. Also, the cladode and root K+/ Na+ ration, K+, Na+ content of cladode and root Na+ content emerge as pivotal traits for assessing salt tolerance in Opuntia species.

An increase in the blood level of uric acid, or hyperuricemia, is a disorder that can cause damage to the kidneys and gout among other health problems. Worldwide, the incidence of hyperuricemia has been rising, in part because of dietary factors such the use of HFCS, a prevalent sweetener found in processed foods. Thus, research into natural substances with anti-inflammatory and anti-hyperuricemia attributes, such as chrysin, is critical to the fields of therapeutic and preventive medicine. This study investigates the anti-inflammatory and anti-hyperuricemic effects of chrysin in a rat model of hyperuricemia induced by high-fructose corn syrup. The research reveals that chrysin exerts its therapeutic effects through antioxidant activity and the inhibition of inflammatory signaling pathways, resulting in a decrease in oxidative stress and the expression of the pro-inflammatory cytokine IL-1β. Treatment with chrysin leads to a significant increase in tissue weight, tissue index, and kidney histology, indicating its potential in mitigating kidney damage associated with hyperuricemia. The study demonstrates a dose-dependent reduction in IL-1β levels and inflammation activation with chrysin treatment, surpassing the anti-inflammatory effects of the comparison group. Furthermore, chrysin treatment reduces malondialdehyde concentration and mitigates the activation of inflammasome-related protein induced by high-fructose corn syrup. These findings highlight the promising therapeutic potential of chrysin in managing hyperuricemia and related metabolic disorders.
