Published: January 2024

The article discusses the issue of the formation of the composition of the economy based on the study of its industry structure. The definition of the concept of "structure of the economy" is given from the point of view of narrow and broad interpretation. The essence of the concept of "industry" and the specifics of forming the industry composition by the Classifier of Types of Economic Activities are highlighted. The most generalized groupings of types of economic activity at the level of sections of this classifier make it possible to distinguish the main branches of the economy. The main characteristics and types of entrepreneurial activity that form tangible and intangible production spheres are defined. A classification of types of industries in the sphere of material and non-material production was formed based on the study of existing approaches to the selection of groups of industries, namely, according to the purpose of products, the action of raw materials and consumer factors, according to dynamism, according to development trends, according to technological level, according to the degree of manageability. General economic, inter-branch, and intra-branch factors that affect the branch structure of the business economy are considered. The role of structural changes in determining further economic development priorities is noted. Particular attention is paid to the definition and characteristics of the priority sectors of Ukraine's economy from the standpoint of the government of Ukraine and experts. The main (leading) industries are selected based on the industry structure analysis. In recent years, the most dynamic and promising industries have included information technologies, the military-industrial complex, energy, the agricultural sector, trade, transport infrastructure, and tourism. With the beginning of hostilities in Ukraine, four industries can be singled out, on which the primary efforts for their maintenance should be directed first: military-tech (high-tech weapons); metallurgy, mining industry, and mechanical engineering; agriculture and food industry; IT industry.
Keywords: economy, structure, industry composition, industry classification, structural changes, leading industries.

Unlocking the potential of dCas9: Epigenetic targeting in cancer immunotherapy
Authors: - Nimrat Kaur
Published: January 2024

Cancer's profound medical challenge underscores the urgency for innovative solutions. Contemporary immunotherapy has formidable challenges dealing with immune evasion, complex tumor microenvironments (TME), and checkpoint inhibitors. Improvements to immunotherapy have been made through genome editing for which the Cas9 system is utilized, but its reliance on DNA repair mechanisms coupled with elevated off-target effects presents limitations. One alternative approach to gene editing is the modulation of gene expression using dCas9 and associated effectors. An advantage is dCas9's non-cleaving nature which reduces the chance of off-target effects and avoids permanent changes to the genome, offering enhanced safety as a gene modulation tool. We reviewed ongoing studies and clinical trials on immunotherapy, gene expression, and dCas9 to address whether gene modulation via dCas9 could be a viable solution to improve gene therapy. In (one/a few) studies found that dCas9's adoption decreases off-target effects, heightening its appeal for improving immunotherapy compared to traditional gene editing with Cas9. Therefore, integrating dCas9 in suppressing key target genes, dcas9 with effector domains or epigenetic modifiers could prove as a pivotal strategy, enabling precise gene regulation and epigenetic modification. Specifically, transcriptional activators like VP64 and repressors like KRAB exhibit the potential to modulate target genes when used with dcas9. Acknowledging limitations, such as mutations affecting gene regulation, this study underscores the transformative potential of dCas9-mediated epigenetic regulation in reshaping the landscape of cancer treatment and calls for further investigation to unlock its full therapeutic potential.

Authors: - Md Ali Asgor Moral , - Rozina Akter , - Mir Md Mofazzal Hossain , - Md Helal Uddin
Published: January 2024

Background: Determination of appropriate or exact working length measurement with radiovisiography (RVG) during root canal treatment (RCT) is an essential for the long-term success. As, there are several controversies with the distortion of RVG image in assessing the working tooth length (WTL) during RCT compared to actual tooth length (ATL). So, this study was aimed to assess the frequency of distortion of radiovisiographical tooth length (RTL) compared to actual tooth length (ATL).
Methods: An analytical (in-vivo and in-vitro) study was conducted at Department of Conservative Dentistry and Endodontics, BSMMU. The patient indicated for extraction purpose of orthodontic treatment was considered as the study population. Human premolar teeth (n=20) were selected as study sample by purposive sampling technique which met the inclusion and exclusion criteria. The RTL measurements were carried out with RVG images before and after tooth extraction (in-vivo and in-vitro setting). Then the ATL measurements of extracted tooth samples were carried out with both Inch Architectural Scale Ruler and Endodontic Ruler individually three concordant times.
Statistical analysis: The data was analyzed using T test and presented in frequency and percentages with tables.
Results: For 95% of study samples, the differences from actual and radiovisiographical tooth length were <0.5 mm. Total 19 tooth samples (out of 20) showed acceptable level of coincidence except one sample showed non-acceptable level of coincidence. There was no sample revealed exact level of coincidence. There was a significant difference between the distortion category; yes (95%)/ no (5%) (P 0.001). The radiovisiological tooth lengths among all samples were same in both in-vivo and in-vitro setting. Study results also revealed the average distortion of RTL to ATL was 2.61±0.97 mm when RVG was done without using RVG sensor positioner.
Conclusion: RVG tooth length images exhibited no distortion with the exact anatomical tooth lengths when the RTL was carried out with RVG sensor positioner. It’s recommended that to overcome the RVG image distortion, the RTL measurement ought to be carried out with RVG sensor positioner allowing RVG sensor/film parallel to long axis of tooth; RVG beam position perpendicular (900) to long axis of tooth.
Knowledge of Postnatal Danger Signs and Associated Factors among Mothers in Nepal
Authors: - Indira Adhikari (Poudel)
Published: January 2024

BACKGROUND: The postpartum period is crucial, and it is essential to recognize warning signs. Unfortunately, maternal mortality rates remain high due to postpartum complications, especially in developing countries like Nepal. Many mothers are not aware of postnatal warning signs, which can delay them from seeking necessary medical care and increase the risk of maternal mortality. The main objective of study to identify mothers' knowledge of postnatal danger signs and the relevant factors.

METHOD: A study was conducted in Chitwan, covering three municipalities: Madi, Rapti, and Ratnanagar. A stratified proportionate-based simple random sampling technique was used to recruit 527 mothers for the study. Data was collected through face-to-face interviews using a structured questionnaire, and statistical analysis was conducted using SPSS version 21. A multivariate logistic regression was used to determine the factors associated with the knowledge of postnatal danger signs. 

RESULT: Out of the total respondents, only 209 (39.7%) demonstrated good awareness regarding postpartum danger signs. To be considered informed, a woman must be able to list at least three common warning signs. However, the majority of respondents consistently identified vaginal bleeding as a dangerous sign postpartum. The study found that modern health care seeking behavior (AOR=1.63, 95% CI:1.04-2.55), occupation in service (AOR=3.19, 95% CI:1.39-7.29), and time to reach the health facility (AOR=1.96, 95% CI:1.18-3.25) were significantly associated with knowledge of postnatal danger signs. Of these, 67 (12.7%) faced postnatal danger signs during their postpartum period. Among those, the majority (39 or 7.4%) had a good practice of seeking a health facility for care and treatment.

CONCLUSION: It is encouraging that mothers become more aware of postnatal danger signs despite their initial low level of awareness. Factors such as the mother's age, occupation, educational background, age of marriage and first childbirth, number of ANC visits, and healthcare-seeking behavior are significantly associated with their awareness of postnatal danger signs. Therefore, healthcare providers should focus on these factors to improve the mothers' knowledge of postnatal danger signs.
Exchange Rate Pass - through in Export Value-chain of Bangladesh
Authors: - Mohammad Anamul Huq
Published: January 2024

Determining the extent and rate of the exchange rate pass-through (ERPT) to inflation has been of utmost importance to policy-makers in developed and emerging nations. This study uses mixed techniques to examine the exchange rate pass-through in Bangladesh using a data sample that spans the years 1990 to 2020. Comparison with India and Bhutan has been made in some aspects. The results show that the ERPT is significant, asymmetric, and rapid, with prices reflecting significant amount of changes in exchange rates in short run. Policy-makers should continue aiming for low and stable inflation and establish a strong track record of prudent macroeconomic policies in order for the ERPT to drop. This study uses a panel of data to investigate the exchange rate pass-through (ERPT) connection, which is the link between the exchange rate and the prices of traded products. The results of this analysis indicate that while there is evidence of a one-to-one connection between changes in the exchange rate and export prices for primary exports, this link is not present for ready-made garment (RMG) exports. Market-specific econometric estimates show that exporters' pass-through behaviour is influenced by their perception of the demand pattern in destination markets. As a result, pricing-to-market (PTM) emerges as the dominant strategy, defying the "law of one price" hypothesis' prediction. The Multi-fiber Arrangement (MFA) system, which limited the competitive activity of several providers in many restricted commodities that are of export importance to Bangladesh, is to be made responsible for the startling results that RMG exports are insensitive to fluctuations in the currency rate.

Social media profoundly affects contemporary communication, altering interpersonal relationships, information exchange, and the creation of digital identities. The study aims to determine exposure to social media and its effect on English language proficiency as the basis for an action plan. Using a descriptive correlation method, the respondents of this study are the grade 7 students of Mariveles National High School-(Cabcaben Annex) Alasasin. Data were collected using the adapted diagnostic test developed by Region III to measure the language proficiency of grade 7. Results revealed that grade 7 students are exposed to using Facebook; at the beginning level in English proficiency, the most mastered skills are those related to reading strategies, and the least developed skills are those about grammar. It is noted that most of the students, who were almost 50 to 70 percent of the examination takers, are at the beginning level, which denotes that there is still a need to improve the English language for grade 7 students. Lastly, the computed mean of Pearson r Value of the three sections is 0.27 with a positive low correlation. This means that increasing the hours of exposure to social media of Grade 7 students slightly increases their English language proficiency and vice versa. The recommendation of this study denotes that even social media has moderate implications for English language proficiency; teachers should monitor their students' use of social media. DepEd needs to set up free WiFi in every school so that our learners may use social media as a learning tool. Educators should give their students chances by setting aside time for social media use. Social media integration into their curriculum might also need to be considered.

Authors: - Banoj Kumar Mahanta , - Sameni Narayan Rao
Published: January 2024

This study aimed to address the escalating health challenges faced by India's elderly population, which is projected to reach 300 million by 2050, emphasizing the surge in chronic health conditions. The Rural areas, housing 69% of the elderly, grapple with inadequately equipped health facilities and limited access to essential services, contributing to high out-of-pocket expenditures. Health-seeking behaviour is intricately linked to factors such as availability, affordability, and accessibility, revealing disparities influenced by income and urban-rural differences.
The Hans Mobile Medical Unit (MMU) project, initiated by The Hans Foundation, is being implemented across eight states in the country. This research study is conducted in 4 states, evaluates the project's impact on elderly beneficiaries, with a focus on health-seeking behaviour, prior challenges, and satisfaction levels.
The results indicate a substantial reduction in out-of-pocket expenditures (71%), with notable improvements in health conditions reported by 99% of elderly beneficiaries. Major diseases include high blood pressure and back & neck pain. The project has successfully provided free medicines, diagnostics, home visits, and referrals, catering specifically to the elderly population.
Despite certain limitations, including the cross-sectional design and state-specific focus, this study contributed essential insights for policymakers and healthcare practitioners working towards inclusive and accessible healthcare for the elderly in rural India.

An individual's attitude is a conviction they have about the people and environment they work with. Positive attitudes in students may have an impact on their sexuality and how their subjects relate to one another. In the current study, researchers looked at undergraduate-level disciplines including science and the arts as well as any differences, if any, between male and female students. A sample of 62 Students in their final year of undergraduate studies (38 men, 24 women, 27 science students, and 35 art students) were chosen at random from the Virudhunagar District population. According to the research, female students outperformed male pupils in terms of attitude toward education, teachers, and families. In a similar vein, science students outperformed arts students solely in terms of attitude toward learning.

Unraveling the Complex Dynamics: A Comprehensive Examination of the Underlying Causes of Conflicts in Benishangul-Gumuz Regional State, Ethiopia
Authors: - Ravneet Kaur , - Mulualem Tarekegn Ferede
Published: January 2024

This study described the underlying causes of conflicts in Benishangul-Gumuz Regional State. Five ethnic groups own the region by constitution, namely Gumuz, Benishangul, Shinasha, Mao, and Komo. Additionally, there are other ethnic groups living in the region, including Amhara, Oromo, Agew, Kenbata, Tegrian, and others. The study used descriptive and exploratory research types, and the target population was the region's population. The sample size was 400, for which systematic sampling techniques would be used. The study used both primary and secondary data sources. The study employed both qualitative and quantitative research designs. The region was endowed with different natural resources, like gold, marble, coal, granite, and other minerals, as well as fertile land suitable for agriculture and pastoral purposes. Due to this endowment of natural resources, many ethnic groups migrate from other parts of the country and live in the region. Based on the findings of the study, the leading causes of conflicts in the region were misunderstanding of local communities, unfair distribution of natural resources, lack of accommodation for diversity, lack of infrastructure, weak government administration, and illegal participation of political parties, internal and external intervention actors.

Authors: - Alfred Addy , - Shadrach Asamoah-Atakorah , - George Benneh Mensah , - Samuel William Doodo , - Rebecca Asamoah-Atakorah
Published: January 2024

Objective: This paper examines the adequacy of Ghana’s Public Health Act 2012 for governing rising use of algorithmic systems like AI in automating vaccine distribution.
Method: Employing the structured CREAC legal reasoning framework, it systematically analyses current statutory flexibility, rights safeguards and accountability provisions in the Act to balance technological innovation against risks of automated opacity, bias and exclusion errors.
Results: While the legislation provides ample principles-based scope for administrative pilots and controlled deployment of AI coordination tools to improve immunization equity, reliance on 20th century assumptions of technological neutrality means significant gaps in addressing unique socio-ethical hazards of autonomous predictive analytics.
Contributions: First structured application of legal study methodology to contemporize public health law assessments for coming healthcare automation advances, yielding actionable policy upgrades. Advances interdisciplinary discourse on ethical technological transformation of vital services.
Significance: Anchored in legal realities and public access imperatives of a developing country, declines facile overhaul recommendations, favoring participative, evidence-led amendments upholding innovation incentives within updated rights regimes. Socially-grounded contribution bridging theory with practice in governance discourse.
Sets agenda for anticipatory, democratic legal regimes upholding reliable and unbiased AI assistance in equitable healthcare access.
