Exploring Women's Involvement in Agriculture and Livestock Sectors: A Study of Punjab Province, Pakistan
Authors: Iqbal Mujahid , Sial Asma
Published: December 2023

This paper presents a quantitative study on the pastoral women’s part in Pakistan's cutting-edge cutting-edge area of agriculture and livestock. As Pakistan is an agricultural country, ladies also perform an important role in Pakistan's agronomy growth by actively participating in various crops and livestock activities. Despite this role, this contribution by women is not duly acknowledged, is often underestimated, and results in low rewards. The paper describes the landscape and scope of ladies’ contribution to agronomy and cattle activities in selected rural areas of Punjab, a major agriculture province of Pakistan. Semi-structured interviews of randomly selected 400 female respondents and five focus group discussions support in-depth and meaningful conclusions based on both quantitative and qualitative data. The findings of the training reveal the level of females’ active partaking in farm actions in addition to their household responsibilities that range from the acquisition of farm supplies to the product sale. However, the share of women in the income is found to be quite low compared to their contribution. Limited involvement in the judgement manufacturing activities associated with agronomic and cattle is the major factor hampering women’s empowerment in the areas. Therefore, the study suggests appropriate participation in decision-level activities, just monetary rewards and equipment with modern farming skills, to increase their empowerment.

Authors: ALTINTOP Mevlüt
Published: December 2023

Göstergebilim alanında yapılan bu çalışma, insanın bilgi edinme ve anlam bulma yolculuğunda önemli bir yeri olan kitap ile ilgilidir. Türkiye’nin önde gelen yayınevlerinden İletişim Yayınları’nın son on yıl içindeki yayınlarından seçilen beş kitap kapağının göstergebilimsel analizi yapılmıştır. Çalışma oluşturulurken iki olgu üzerinden hareket edilmiştir. Bunlardan ilki, çalışma için seçilen İletişim Yayınları’nın varoluşunu ideolojik olarak temellendirmesidir. İkincisi ise, seçilen kitap kapaklarının kent (şehir) ve konut (bina) konulu

olmasıdır. Çalışmaya dâhil edilen kitap kapaklarının göstergebilimsel analizi, yayınevinin kendisine nispet ettiği sol ideoloji bağlamında Roland Barthes’in hermenötik anlayışı olan düz anlam-yan anlam karşıtlık ilişkisi kullanılarak yapılmıştır. Çalışmada yer verilen nicel veri ve görsel ögelerin oluşturulmasında MAXQDA programından faydalanılmıştır. Analizi yapılan kitaplar, içeriklerinden bağımsız olarak salt kapaklarındaki görseller üzerinden değerlendirilmiştir. Analiz sonucunda, analize dâhil edilen kitap kapaklarında yerici

ve istihza içeren negatif unsurlarla desteklenen göstergelerin kullanıldığı görülmüştür. Bu durum yapıcı bir eleştiri yönteminden ziyade yıkıcı ideolojik söylemin kitap kapaklarına yansıtıldığı sonucunu vermektedir.
HUNCA CHÜ-TZ’U SANININ ÇÖZÜMÜ
Authors: GEDİKLİ Yusuf
Published: December 2023

Makalede Hunların MÖ 72, 30 ve 1 ile MS 13 ve 18 tarihlerinde Çinliler tarafından kayda alınan Chü-tz’u unvanı incelenmiştir. Çin kaynakları bu unvanın “prenses, konçuy” anlamında olduğunu yazarlar.

de Groot, G. Nemeth, Chü-tz’u unvanını bildiğimiz Türkçe kız sözcüğüyle bir ve aynı saymışlardır. H. N. Orkun, A. Caferoğlu, L. Rasonyi eserlerinde bu bilgiyi tekrarlamışlardır.

Çince Chü-tz’u ses çevrimi Hunca *kisig sözcüğünün karşılığıdır. Unvanı gerçek anlamı olan “prenses” anlamında ve öteki yan anlamlarıyla birlikte Eski Uygurcada buluyoruz: Eski Uygurca kişi “2. zevce, eş, kadın 4. prenses”tir. Yine Eski Uygurca kişi “1. kişi, insan, adam, mahlûk, yaratık 3. kul, köle”dir. Ses ve anlam bakımından birbirine yakın olan bu iki kelimede bulaşma, karışma yaşanmıştır. Bununla birlikte sonraki yüzyıllarda her iki kelimeyi yine de ayırt edebiliyoruz. Örneğin Osmanlıca kişi oğlu, kişizāde “doğuştan hür olan, tutsak olmayan, asilzade”dir. Bu sözcükler Hunlardaki “prenses” anlamının biraz değişmiş şekilleridir.

Hunca *kisig, Hunların Türk ve dillerinin Türkçe olduğunu gösteren kanıtlardan sadece biridir.

Published: December 2023

Es sabido que el desarrollo de la guerra civil en España (1936-1939) generó profundas repercusiones en la República Argentina e involucró activamente a la población. La numerosa comunidad inmigratoria de origen español que vivía en el país se vio atravesada por el conflicto bélico y se escindió como resultado de los compromisos que se fueron asumiendo a favor de uno u otro bando.

En este libro se analiza el apoyo y la colaboración brindados por una parte de la comunidad española radicada en la Ciudad de Buenos Aires al bando sublevado durante la guerra civil en la península. Se estudian las acciones de solidaridad llevadas adelante por instituciones como el Centro Acción Española, los Legionarios Civiles de Franco y la sede local de la Falange Española, entre otras, y las maniobras de propaganda desplegadas por medio de la prensa, los libros, la radiodifusión y los eventos públicos. Además, se indaga en el funcionamiento de la representación oficiosa del bando rebelde español en la Argentina.

Purpose: Amides are proven to possess antimicrobial properties against both fungi and bacteria. The synthetic amide 2-bromo-N-phenylacetamide exhibits antifungal activity according to scientific literature, however, data remains scarce. Given the clinical and epidemiological importance as well as the increasing antifungal resistance in Candida spp., here we aimed to better explore the antifungal potential of 2-bromo-N-phenylacetamide against fluconazole-resistant Candida albicans, Candida glabrata, Candida parapsilosis and for the first time, against Candida tropicalis as well. Methods: Minimum Inhibitory and Minimum Fungicidal Concentrations (MIC/MFC) were established by a Broth Microdilution Technique. Mode of action was explored by Ergosterol and Sorbitol assays. For investigating the combined effect between 2-bromo-N-phenylacetamide and the standard antifungals Amphotericin B and Fluconazole a Checkerboard Technique was performed. Finally, the antibiofilm properties of 2-bromo-N-phenylacetamide were assessed by a Crystal Violet Staining Assay. Results: 2-bromo-N-phenylacetamide exhibited a fungicidal effect, MIC of 32 µg.mL-1 (87.5% of the strains) and MFC of 64 µg.mL-1 (81.25% of the strains). It also demonstrated an activity against Candida albicans mature biofilms as effective as that for Amphotericin B at all tested concentrations. When associated with Fluconazole and Amphotericin B it exerted indifferent effects. Mode of action remained unclear. Conclusion: The synthetic amide 2-bromo-N-phenylacetamide possesses a strong antifungal activity against Candida albicans, Candida tropicalis, Candida glabrata and Candida parapsilosis and an antibiofilm property against Candida albicans as effective as that exhibited for Amphotericin B.

Effects of School-based Environmental Clubs: Fostering Environmental Awareness and Strengthening Eco-citizen Behaviors Among Students
Authors: Houmam Lotfi , Aomar Ibourk
Published: December 2023

Objective: Given the concerning environmental state on a global scale and also in Morocco, environmental education becomes imperative to contribute to the desired change towards more sustainable and responsible practices. In this context, environmental clubs, as a form of environmental education, particularly catch our attention due to their potential to raise awareness and mobilize the younger generation. Consequently, the aim of this research was to assess the impact of environmental clubs on students' environmental awareness and the adoption of eco-citizen behaviors.
 
Method: In the context of our study, we adopted a quantitative research approach to objectively analyze the impact of environmental clubs on students' environmental awareness and adoption of eco-citizen behaviors. To carry out this analysis, we utilized the Propensity Score Matching method to control for selection biases and ensure a valid comparison between students who participated and those who did not participate in the environmental clubs. Our sample consisted of 255 students in the control group and 241 students in the treatment group. Data were collected using a questionnaire focused on assessing environmental awareness and the adoption of eco-citizen behaviors. This data was then processed and analyzed using the SPSS software, allowing us to obtain statistically reliable and relevant results.
 
Results: The comparison of scores between the two groups revealed a notable difference. Indeed, participating students displayed higher scores, whether in the "awareness" aspect or in the "eco-citizen behavior" aspect. Furthermore, when comparing the means using the t-test for independent samples, we observed significant results. Consequently, we reject the null hypothesis, indicating that the observed difference is not due to chance but rather reflects a genuine effect of the environmental clubs on students' awareness and eco-citizen behaviors.
 
Conclusions: In the present study, we concluded that environmental clubs have a positive impact on students' environmental awareness and also contribute to the adoption of eco-citizen behaviors. These findings highlight the significance and relevance of these clubs in the educational context. Therefore, it is imperative to take further action to strengthen and generalize the presence and efficacy of these environmental clubs in educational institutions, with the aim of fostering a generation that is both aware and proactive regarding environmental challenges.

Authors: Jusniar Jusniar , Syamsidah Syamsidah , Auliah Army
Published: December 2023

Objective: The developing environmental sensitivity instruments oriented towards the Green Chemistry Principles (GCP). GCP-oriented environmental sensitivity instrument products feasible in terms of validity and reliability.
 
Theoretical framework: International scientific reports, articles, and publications served as the basis for the theoretical contents.  Additionally, produce an instrument on environmental sensitivity that is valid and reliable.
 
Method: Research on the development of instruments for environmental sensitivity was designed in three stages. First stage; design and development of environmental sensitivity grids and instruments based on aspects that have been studied theoretically. Second Stage; content validity testing. Third Stage; Construct Validity Testing and Instrument Reliability. This environmental sensitivity instrument was developed from four aspects, namely Harmony and diversity, environmental balance, interdependence, and sustainability. The indicators of these four aspects are related to the principles of green chemistry (GCP) which can be implemented in chemistry learning. Testing the validity of the content validity ratio (CVR) and Exploratory Factor Analysis (EFA) techniques.
 
Results and Conclusion: Reliability testing with the Cronbach's Alpha technique shows that the instrument has a consistency of 0.792 (high). The results of testing the content validity using the CVR technique by eight experts obtained 24 items including in good validity category and one item in valid. The results of the EFA test conducted on 116 high school students in South Sulawesi, Indonesia showed that the sample met the adequacy of the test with the KMO and Barlett's tests. EFA analysis shows that the anti-image correlation of 24 indicators is greater than 0.5 with communality not deviating from the factor analysis, meaning that there is a consistent relationship between the indicators in the four aspects studied. Thus, the GCP-oriented environmental sensitivity instrument is declared valid and reliable to use.
 
Originality/value: The results showed that the instrument for assessing environmental sensitivity in GCP-oriented chemistry learning was declared valid and reliable because it met all the criteria of content validity with CVR, construction validity with EFA, and high instrument reliability. The findings of this study add to knowledge and information about assessment in the realm of environmental sensitivity which of course greatly contributes to learning. There are so many phenomena of environmental damage that need to be addressed around us and that requires a sense of care and sensitivity from teachers, students and the community. Chemistry teachers or other researchers can use this instrument to find out attitudes in the form of students' sensitivity to GCP-oriented environments.
The Criminal Protection of Children from Sexual Exploitation in Jordanian Criminal Legislation: a Comparative Study
Authors: Saleh Ibtisam Mousa
Published: December 2023

Objective: This study aims to investigate the criminal protection of children from sexual exploitation. It examines the substantive provisions related to the crime of inducing prostitution as a form of sexual exploitation, as regulated by the Jordanian Penal Code for the year 2022. Furthermore, it explores the crime of trafficking in children for sexual exploitation under the Jordanian Trafficking in Persons Act for the year 2021.

 

Method: To achieve the desired objectives of the study, a descriptive and analytical approach was followed in describing and analyzing the texts of the materials that addressed child sexual exploitation in Jordanian legislation and comparative laws. The comparative approach was also used by comparing the subject of the study, which is the criminal protection of children from sexual exploitation in Jordanian legislation, with some criminal laws and international conventions.

 

Result: One of the study's most important findings is that the Jordanian legislator did not successfully use the term "prostitution" in Article 14 of the Electronic Crimes Law because the term "prostitution" includes females only.

 

Conclusion: The legislative phrasing of criminal provisions related to child sexual exploitation, specifically the phrase "for the purpose of exploiting them" found in Article 3/b of Jordan's Anti-Human Trafficking Law, and similar provisions in the studied legislation, raises an issue concerning the necessity of proving specific intent in child sexual exploitation crimes, namely the intent to exploit.

Aim: Therapeutic plasma exchange (TPD) is the separation of the patient's plasma for treatment purposes and the replacement of another fluid. Therapeutic plasma exchange, the use of which has expanded in recent years, is a treatment method that cleans the blood extra-corporeally and is used in many immunological and toxicological diseases. The aim of this study is to prospectively examine critical patients who are followed up in the intensive care unit and undergo therapeutic plasma exchange.

Material and Method: Patients who were hospitalized in the Intensive Care Unit of Erciyes University, Faculty of Medicine, older than 18, and whose therapeutic plasma exchange (TPD) indication were included in the study. Demographic information of the patients, indication for admission to intensive care unit, and TPD indication were recorded before the procedure. Patients who were indicated for plasmapheresis were observed for side effects during the procedure.

Results: A total of 31 patients were included in the study. The mean age of the patients was 46 ± 18 years. 52% of the patients were female and 48% were male. The hospitalization medyan APACHE II score (min-max: 5-40) of the patients was 20. When the patients were evaluated in terms of TPD indications in intensive care, the most common causes were 56% microangiopathic hemolytic anemia (MAHA), 13% Crimean Congo Hemorrhagic Fever (KKKA) and 10% Guillen Barre Syndrome.

The patients were divided into two groups: living and dying. When these two groups were analyzed in terms of APACHE II Score, the mean APACHE II score of living patients was 17±7, and the mean APACHE II score of the patients who died was 25 ± 9. This difference was statistically significant (p = 0.02). The median day of the patients staying in intensive care unit was 12 (min-max: 1-86), and intensive care mortality was 48%.

Conclusion: The frequency of TPD indications of patients included in the study is compatible with the literature, and TPD was applied most frequently because of MAHA. The patients were younger than the normal intensive care population. This study provides clinicians with some helpful information about the intensive care clinical course before patients undergo TPD.

The data analysis techniques in this research are divided into three, namely data reduction, data display, and drawing conclusions or verification. The research results show that the company's CSR allocation process is carried out by the CSR sector making an annual budget plan. The budget is made based on the year's work plan and on requests from the surrounding community. However, whether the action plan from the CSR budget plan is carried out according to plan or not depends on the profit obtained by the company. So that the company in terms of distribution of Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) funds is not carried out evenly in the community. Contributions in the use of Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) funds are not only intended for the community but also for the company itself. The use of CSR funds for community welfare has not been felt by society in general, especially people who live in areas around the mine. Several companies in South Konawe Regency in the process of allocating CSR funds generally focus more on physical aspects such as building mosque ceilings, making curtains, making football field stands and repairing school buildings and so on.

Community participation in tourism development is mainly related to forms of community participation, community motivation and the impacts of tourism development on local communities that need to be further optimized, with the basic premise that it is an effort to develop tourism by referring to the concept of community-based tourism development. The aim of this research is to describe the characteristics of creative economic tourism development that is based on active community participation so that it can increase Regional Original Income. This research uses a qualitative approach. The sampling technique was snowball sampling technique. The research population is the entire community in the South Konawe Regency area. Meanwhile, the sample taken as the main data source is people who actively carry out participation activities in the creative economy sector. The data collection techniques used were observation and interviews. Data collected from research results in the field were then analyzed descriptively qualitatively. The research results show that there is a link between Regional Original Income (PAD) and creative economic tourism, namely the presence of a new economic form that can become a source of the community's economy. If this is developed more professionally, it will become a new source of PAD for the South Konawe Regency government. The development of creative economic tourism based on local community participation has not run optimally, where the development of creative economic tourism still receives very little attention from the local government, especially the role of the government as a facilitator to provide facilities that are needed by creative economic actors, including training for actors to improve quality and productivity, providing production equipment for business actors, and assistance in accessing capital.

Romowie w Austrii i Niemczech – współczesny status prawny a rzeczywistość
Authors: Godlewska Ewa
Published: December 2023

W obu państwach Romowie zaliczani są do grona mniejszości uznanych. W Austrii takie uznanie nastąpiło 24 grudnia 1993 r. W Niemczech miało to natomiast miejsce w 1995 roku, przy okazji podpisywania przez to państwo Konwencji Ramowej o Ochronie Mniejszości Narodowych. Mimo uregulowanego statusu prawnego wciąż jest to jednak grupa dyskryminowana. Celem niniejszego artykułu jest więc skonfrontowanie stanu prawnego z rzeczywistością. Z analizy wynika, że sam fakt uznania ze strony władz niewiele zmienił w życiu codziennych Romów. Wciąż jest to grupa znajdująca się poza marginesem społecznym, o dużym wskaźniku bezrobocia, niskim poziomie wykształcenia i małych aspiracjach politycznych.
Ewolucja polityki oświatowej państwa polskiego wobec mniejszości narodowych i etnicznych po 1989 r.
Authors: Pogorzała Ewa
Published: December 2023

Podstawowym kryterium ewaluacji położenia mniejszości narodowych i etnicznych w państwie zamieszkania jest stworzenie prawnych i faktycznych możliwości podtrzymywania znajomości języka, kultury i tradycji przez członków tych grup mniejszościowych. Po 1989 r. polityka oświatowa państwa polskiego wobec mniejszości przybrała charakter kompensacyjny, ale w odniesieniu do społeczności uznanych prawnie za mniejszości narodowe i etniczne oraz społeczność posługującą się językiem regionalnym (Kaszubi). Nierozwiązanym pozostaje problem społeczności posiadających obywatelstwo polskie, nie wymienionych w ustawie o mniejszościach narodowych i etnicznych oraz języku regionalnym, które pretendują do takiego statusu, tudzież uznania ich języka za język regionalny w rozumieniu przepisów prawnych. W ostatnich latach nabiera również istotnego znaczenia problem kształcenia dzieci cudzoziemskich w polskim systemie oświaty. Obecność w polskich szkołach uczniów odmiennych kulturowo powoduje szereg jakościowo nowych problemów dla programowania polityki państwa wobec mniejszości narodowych, etnicznych, językowych czy kulturowych, szczególnie w kontekście obowiązywania regulacji prawnych, arbitralnie narzucających status prawny i związany z nim zakres praw w sferze edukacji.
Fugues for chorus and soloist ensemble in Joseph Haydn's late masses
Authors:   Gnesin Russian Academy of Music, Gerver Larisa L.
Published: December 2023

Fugues from Haydn's late masses are marked by similarity achieved through the repetition of techniques and musical material. Most of the fugues are built on a two-part thematic formula with a particular rhythmic and melodic pattern. Choral fugues in late masses are small in size and generally follow the rules of “strict style”. These rules are only violated in the ensemble cadenza of soloists before the final choral tutti, thus becoming the secret of the form. Ensemble cadenzas are characterized by the transparency and relief of the vocalized texture as well as lighter counterpoint with parallel thirds and sixths and the alternating solos of duets and trios. Musical syntax is homophonic. It repeats two-measure structural units or a period divided into two phrases, etc. Fugues with the ensemble cadenza of soloists are not limited to late masses only. They are also found in the end of Haydn’s “The Creation”. However, the attempts to find other examples of this form—in Haydn's works or beyond—have so far been unsuccessful. Haydn’s choral fugues with the ensemble cadenza of soloists are quite in line with the 18th century Viennese concerted mass and the special role the mass played in the lavish annual autumn celebrations in Esterházy.

Restoring Faith in EU Values: Mutual Trust and Systemic Deficiencies in the Member States
Authors: Canor Iris
Published: December 2023

In the evolving context of European Union public law, mutual trust has risen as a pivotal structural principle, anchoring the horizontal relationship among EU Member States, particularly in areas falling outside the scope of application of EU law. Its significance has expanded, moving beyond just safeguarding fundamental rights to fully embracing the broad spectrum of values articulated in Article 2 TEU. Informed by the mutual accountability of Member States, this principle is instrumental in assessing their commitment to the values delineated in Article 2 TEU. This article offers to differentiate between two scenarios: instances where mutual trust is undermined by violations of fundamental rights, and those where it is challenged by breaches of structural values, such as democracy and the rule of law. The article posits that systemic deficiencies in a Member State’s adherence to the EU’s structural values threatens the essence of mutual trust, demanding a reconsideration of the manner of application of this principle. Through the lens of the transformations following the Lisbon Treaty and contemporary hurdles this article underscores mutual trust’s crucial role in ensuring Member States’ constitutional fidelity to EU structural values. The article concludes by championing a nuanced application of the mutual trust principle – a stance that robustly preserves the core of Article 2 values, quintessential to European identity, without compromising fundamental rights or overlooking other EU public interests.
Schattenwelten
Authors: Hölscher Lucian
Published: December 2023

Die Aufklärung verstand sich nicht nur als ein Zeitalter des Lichts, sie entdeckte auch das Dunkel als dessen notwendige Ergänzung. So entstand die Idee einer Schattenwelt, in der andere Gesetzmäßigkeiten herrschten als am Tage. In ihnen lebten die Geister, erneuerte sich das Leben der Menschen und der Natur. In den Schattenrissen und Scherenschnitten der Zeit wurden sie von einer neuen, überwiegend weiblichen Künstlergeneration in Szene gesetzt. Lucian Hölscher zeigt in seiner kunst- und geistesgeschichtlichen Studie die Ursprünge und Gestaltungsprinzipien einer neuen Kunstgattung, die nicht mehr wie Malerei und Zeichnung auf dem Prinzip der Ähnlichkeit beruhte, sondern die Spur ihres Objekts im Schatten bewahren wollte.
Sourcing Innovation in the Digital Age
Authors: C. Thompson Neil , Bonnet Didier , Jaballah Sarah
Published: December 2023

This paper introduces a recent innovation survey, the first of its kind in the Digital Age. With coverage of 300 large firms, sampled to be representative of corporate innovation in eight countries, the survey provides a unique look at how innovation, particularly digital innovation, is being sourced by firms around the world. We find that open innovation at these companies is pervasive, but also recent. Only in the 2010s have many firms started innovating with external partners like universities, third-party experts, startups, or crowd. Overwhelmingly, firms use these new external innovation sources for digital technologies where they have internal capability shortfalls. Despite the remarkable growth in the use of external innovation sources, internal innovation sources remain more important for companies. These internal sources also produce the projects most likely to provide a competitive advantage.
Biobetters: IFN-α2b Variants with Reduced Immunogenicity for the Treatment of Human Viral Diseases
Authors: F. Mufarrege Eduardo , C. Peña Lucía , Etcheverrigaray Marina
Published: December 2023

For more than three decades, IFN-α2b has been widely used for the treatment of multiple human viral infections such as chronic hepatitis B and C, and certain types of cancers. However, IFN-α2b can be immunogenic, and these undesired immune responses can lead to a decrease in therapeutic efficacy. In addition, IFN-α therapy has also been associated with the progression of certain autoimmune diseases. For these reasons, the development of new IFN-α2b versions with reduced (or even null) immunogenicity has become the focus of several investigations. The “de-immunization” strategies usually involve several steps starting with T cell epitope identification and mutation of those immunogenic residues using immuno-informatics tools. Then, further experimental validation through in vitro and in vivo experimental platforms is needed to confirm in silico predictions. In this chapter, we will review the main strategies addressed so far to develop more effective and safer IFN-based therapies.
Role of Extracellular Vesicles in Cardiac Regeneration
Authors: Verda Bitirim Ceylan
Published: December 2023

Heart failure remains a leading cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide. Despite advances in medical management and device-based therapies, there is no cure for the damaged heart. The traditional therapeutic options for patients with heart failure, such as drugs, surgeries, and transplantation, have limitations and risks, leading to the need for innovative novel therapies. Clinical and preclinical studies have shown that extracellular vesicles (EVs) secreted by transplanted cells are more effective than direct stem cell transfer in the mechanisms involved in cardiac regeneration following ischemia. EVs have gained increasing attention as potential mediators of cardiac repair and regeneration. Preclinical studies have demonstrated the regenerative effect of EVs from a variety of cardiac cell types, including cardiac progenitor cells, mesenchymal stem cells, and iPS cells. Upon EV administration, the functional capacity of the heart improved, myocardial hypertrophy reduced, and necrosis resulted in a lesser degree. This indicates that EVs’ ability to transport proteins, lipids, non-coding RNAs, and other biologically active factors plays a vital role in promoting cardiac restoration. At present, several clinical trials are exploring the therapeutic potential of EVs in heart regeneration approaches.
