Authors: Desai Avni P  , Nishtha Jigneshkumar Desai  , Nisarg Patel
Published: February 2025

This essay reviews the genetic basis for both essential hypertension and normal blood pressure. There have been cases of familial aggregation of normal blood pressure in adults, children, and even new-borns. But the phenomena of blood pressure aggregation are a combination of shared environmental and hereditary elements. The investigations of blood pressure aggregation in twins and adopted kids were more specific for each etiological component. The Montreal Adoption Study was the centre of attention. Japanese research demonstrating the incidence of hypertension in children of hypertensive parents is reviewed in essential hypertension. The heterogeneity of essential hypertension is highlighted, and two of the several etiological factors the response to salt consumption and erythrocyte cation fluxes are specifically considered for their hereditary component. According to the assessment of the literature, essential hypertension is a polygenic illness that is spread through polygenic systems.

Published: February 2025

Political office holders are one of the key actors that can help in building national consciousness among Nigerians. They can use their speeches and broadcasts to create the spirit of inclusiveness and unity, thereby providing a fertile ground for patriotism and sense of national attachment to thrive in the country. The aim of this study, therefore, was to identify the linguistic strategies used by Nigerian political leaders in their speeches to imbibe unity and patriotism among the citizens. Data were collected from six speeches delivered by three Nigerian presidents on the country’s Democracy Day and Independence Day broadcasts. The speeches were collected from the YouTube pages of Nigerian mainstream media. The audio of the speeches were transcribed into text to enable easier and deeper analysis. Qualitative analysis method was used to analyse the speeches to identify the strategic use of language in them. Two models of Halliday’s Systemic Functional Grammar provided the theoretical anchor for this analysis. One of the models, Information Structure, was used to identify the information delivered in the speeches while the second model, Register, provided the perspective for identifying the choice of words adopted in the speeches. The study discovered that the presidents delivered information that indicated the country is facing challenges, which can only be tackled if the citizens become united and work together in harmony. It also discovered that words, which show inclusiveness, endearment, and comradeship, were greatly used in the speeches. The study, therefore, concluded that Nigerian political leaders can build national consciousness if they use language judiciously to encourage unity and patriotism.

TDP43 negatively regulates TBK1-mediated IFN1 production through IRF7 pathway in neurodegenerative diseases
Authors: Zhang Wenjuan , Yi Zhen , Yang Daihe , Hao Yifan , Zhou Feng , Song Guohua , Huang Cao , Zhou Yun , Huang Bo
Published: February 2025

Mutations in the genes encoding TAR DNA-binding protein 43 (TDP43) or TANK-binding kinase 1 (TBK1) have been strongly associated with neurological disorders, including amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) and frontotemporal dementia. TDP43 is a key component of pathological protein aggregates found in more than 90% of ALS cases, while TBK1 plays a critical role in innate immune signaling and autophagy. Despite these associations, the precise molecular mechanisms linking TDP43 or TBK1 dysfunction to neurodegeneration remain poorly understood. The present study examined the impact of TDP43 on TBK1-mediated type I interferon (IFN1) production in HEK-293T cells. The findings demonstrated that co-expression of TDP43 and TBK1 resulted in a dose-dependent reduction in TBK1 and interferon regulatory factor (IRF) 7 protein levels. In addition, it led to decreased phosphorylation of IRF3 and TBK1. Interestingly, TDP43 knockout cells displayed elevated IRF7 protein levels. Moreover, co-expression of TDP43 and TBK1 significantly suppressed the IFN1 inductions and associated pro-inflammatory cytokines, a suppression reversed by IRF7 overexpression. Further, mechanistic analysis demonstrated that TDP43 facilitates TBK1 degradation through autophagy, resulting in diminished IFN1 induction. These findings uncover a new pathway through which TDP43 disrupts TBK1-mediated signaling through IRF7, potentially contributing to neurodegeneration. Overall, the disrupted TBK1-IRF7-IFN1 axis may therefore represent a critical pathway in TDP43-associated neurodegenerative diseases, offering potential targets for therapeutic intervention.

Published: February 2025

India’s concerted efforts to achieve sustainable development goal (SDG)-3 targets, which focus on ensuring universal health coverage and promoting well-being across all age groups, form the focal point of rigorous public health actions. This study aims to assess India’s progress toward SDG-3 targets, identify areas needing improvement, and propose measures for future advancements by analyzing the common review mission (CRM) reports of India. Utilizing secondary data collected from public domains, this study employs descriptive data analysis to examine data from 2015 to 2022 and the envisioned 2030 targets across four pivotal domains: maternal health, newborn and child health; communicable diseases; non-communicable diseases and injuries; and overarching health systems strengthening. The qualitative data were obtained from the CRM reports, which are annual reviews conducted by the Government of India. The analysis underscores the average annual rate of change (AARC) calculation for all states and the national average in India, revealing substantive disparities and areas needing enhanced progress. Findings indicate that with the prevailing AARCs (AARC: 6.90%), India will not be able to achieve the maternal mortality ratio (MMR) targets. To achieve the SDGs, the AARC for MMR, neonatal mortality rate, and under-five mortality rate must improve from 6.90% to 7.80%, 3.40% to 5.40%, and 1.30% to 2.11%, respectively. This study highlights that achieving SDG-3 targets requires state-specific, data-driven planning integrated within the Block Health Action Plan, which feeds into district and state health action plans. Effective alignment with SDG-3 imperatives necessitates meticulous planning informed by disease burdens and mortality rates, prioritizing non-communicable diseases, road traffic injuries, and suicides.

Hesperidin enhances the repair and regeneration of full-thickness dermal wounds in mice exposed to fractionated γ-radiation
Authors: Jagetia Ganesh Chandra , Rao Kota V. N. M.
Published: February 2025

Background and aim: Neoplasms are often clinically treated with radiation therapy, which is known for its therapeutic benefits. However, pre-surgical radiotherapy is associated with a high incidence of surgical wound healing complications, necessitating the exploration of new pharmacological approaches. This study investigates the effects of 100 mg/kg oral hesperidin on mice undergoing hemi-body irradiation with varying fractionated γ-radiation doses. Methods: Mice were exposed to 10, 20, or 40 Gy doses of fractionated γ-radiation (2 Gy/day) below the rib cage. Full-thickness excision wounds were created on their dorsum, and wound contractions were assessed periodically through video imaging. Biochemical profiles were analyzed by measuring collagen content, DNA synthesis, and nitric oxide (NO) levels in granulation tissue, as well as glutathione (GSH) levels, GSH peroxidase (GSHpx) activity, and lipid peroxidation (LPx) in the skin. Histological examinations were conducted at various post-irradiation intervals to assess skin regeneration. Results: Fractionated irradiation delayed wound contraction and prolonged mean wound healing time (MHT) in a dose-dependent manner, reducing collagen content, DNA synthesis, and NO levels in granulation tissue. In addition, irradiation decreased GSH concentrations and GSHpx activity while increasing LPx, with severity correlating to radiation dose. Fibroblast and vascular densities also declined following fractionated irradiation. In contrast, pre-treatment with hesperidin significantly enhanced wound contraction, reduced MHT, and increased collagen levels, DNA synthesis, and NO production. Furthermore, hesperidin treatment elevated GSH levels and GSHpx activity while decreasing radiation-induced LPx. In addition, hesperidin pre-treatment improved collagen deposition and fibroblast and vascular densities. Conclusion: This study demonstrates that hesperidin accelerates wound healing after fractionated radiation, suggesting hesperidin’s potential as a therapeutic paradigm in managing irradiated wounds. Relevance for patients: The use of hesperidin is expected to mitigate the complications of surgical wounds arising after radiotherapy of cancer patients in a clinical setting.
Effect of Polypropylene Fiber Dimensions on Undrained Compressive Strength of Silt Soil
Authors: Yılmazoğlu Mehmet Uğur
Published: February 2025

In the study where the effect of polypropylene (PP) fibers on the mechanical properties of low plasticity silt soils was investigated, unconfined compressive strength (UCS) tests were carried out by adding PP fiber additives to the soil at different rates (0%, 0.4%, 0.8%, 1.25%) and lengths (6 mm and 12 mm). The Taguchi method analyzed the experimental results using signal-to-noise (SN) ratios. The findings show that PP fiber additive significantly increases the strength and ductility behavior of the soil. It was determined that the unconfined compressive strength also increased with the increase in the fiber ratio. It was also determined that the fiber size was adequate on the strength. While 6 mm long fibers provided a more regular and stable strength increase, it was determined that the effect of 12 mm long fibers varied depending on the fiber ratio in the mixture. A significant 1.25% fiber ratio and 6 mm long fibers were determined to give optimum results. SN analysis results were evaluated according to the "bigger is better" principle, and the highest SN ratios were obtained at 1.25% fiber ratio. The study results show that PP fibers are an effective additive in improving low-plasticity silty soils and provide an economical solution. These results show the usability of PP fibers in soil engineering projects.

Foreign Direct Investment in India: Regional and Sectoral Dimensions
Authors: - Brototi Boral
Published: February 2025

The paper aims to evaluate the sector and state wise distribution of Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) in India from 1991 to 2021. Decadal comparison has been made to compare sector and state-wise distribution of FDI inflow. The analysis shows that there has been an upward rising trend in overall FDI in the last thirty years. The three sectors that attracted the highest cumulative FDI in thirty years include the Services Sector, Computer Software and Hardware, and Telecommunications. The three major states where the highest amount of FDI inflow has been reported are Maharashtra, Delhi, and Karnataka. Gradual expansion in sectoral demand along with liberalized government regulation helped to attract foreign equity inflow in different sectors. Unlike the sectoral distribution of FDI, regional distribution has remained almost unchanged with Maharashtra, Delhi, Karnataka, Tamil Nadu, Gujarat, and Haryana remaining major destinations of FDI inflow. Thus, it was found that sector-wise concentration is coming down while regional concentration has increased.

Effect of Information on Voter Turnout: Empirical Evidence from Assembly Elections in India
Authors: - Enakshi Sinha Ray Chaudhury
Published: February 2025

This paper explores the importance of information in determining voter turnout by using Vidhan Sabha electoral data from the 14 major states of India during the period 2001-02 to 2020-21. As per the Indian constitution, citizens of age 18 and above are eligible for voting. Why voters should cast vote? Is the act of voting rational? It is not expected that a voter casts his vote only for getting material benefit as a single vote cannot change the overall outcome of an election. It is true that some voters cast their votes for maintaining their duties as a citizen. In India, there is an upward trend of voter turnout over time. So there are some other reasons that influence voter turnout. In this context, this paper measures the role of various determinants of voter turnout. Broadly, the literature on voter turnout can be divided into two groups – one is Rational voter model and another is Information theory. These theories provide the rationale for including the determinants of voter turnout and explain the reasons behind voter turnout. The important determinants that are considered in the paper: closeness of the election, the number of parties in the electoral landscape, and the availability of information to voters. This paper specifically focuses on the role of information in explaining voter turnout in assembly elections of selected Indian states. In the analysis, five important information variables are considered: circulation of newspaper, literacy rate, ownership of television, ownership of radio and transistor, and penetration of telephone. The principal findings of the paper are as follows. First, the effective number of parties in a legislature has a negative impact on voter turnout. This result validates the theory that an increase in the effective number of parties magnifies information cost which may reduce a voter’s incentive to cast her ballot. Second, the effect of the information variables on turnout is direct. Specifically, the ownership of television and the ownership of radio and transistor significantly increase voter turnout. These results are robust across various specifications used in the empirical analysis. In sum, a substantial amount of variation in the voter turnout is explained by the effective number of parties and the availability of information to an individual. Moreover, the effects of the information variables are more prominent in the southern states compared to other parts of India.

In order to identify deep fakes and other forms of altered facial information, this work details the development and implementation of a face forgery detection system. We propose a system that recognizes subtle changes in face images and videos using state-of-the-art machine learning techniques. After being trained on publically available datasets, the system is evaluated using key performance metrics such as accuracy, precision, and recall. To construct the system, convolutional neural networks, or CNNs, were used. The tests are carried out using publicly available datasets. In order to make it a robust model, a custom dataset is also built. We also look at how this technology could be used to secure digital identities and combat misinformation, opening the door for future collaboration with global cybersecurity and digital safety initiatives.

Public Distribution System (PDS) has evolved as a system of management of scarcity through distribution of food grains at affordable prices. Over the years, PDS has become an important part of Government’s Policy for management of food economy in the country. It is additional in nature and is not intended to make available the entire requirement of any of the commodities distributed under it to a household or a section of the society. PDS is operated under the joint responsibility of the Central and the State Governments. The Central Government, through Food Corporation of India (FCI), has assumed the responsibility for procurement, storage, transportation and bulk allocation of food grains to the State Governments. The operational responsibility including allocation within State, identification of eligible families, issue of Ration Cards and supervision of the functioning of Fair Price Shops (FPSs) etc., rest with the State Governments. Under the PDS, presently the commodities like wheat, rice, sugar and kerosene are being allocated to the States /UTs for distribution. Some States/ UTs also distribute additional items of mass consumption through the PDS outlets such as pulses, edible oils, iodized salt, spices, etc. The vision of the project is to ensure Food Security for citizens of the country.

Published: February 2025

Crimes against senior citizens are a burgeoning issue that requires urgent attention in our society. Old age is a state of dependency where individuals depend financially on their families and society, making them vulnerable to financial abuse within and outside their family. Financial abuse is the most neglected form of abuse in comparison to physical, emotional and mental abuse. The study conducted in this paper shows how financial dependency is a significant cause of the problems and leads to other forms of abuse within and outside the family. The objective of this paper is to investigate the common forms of abuse experienced by elderly individuals in the case studies, specifically focusing on the exploitation of dependency and displacement from their property, unresolved property disputes and economic deprivation, and employment exploitation in an earlier phase. The results show that senior citizens face different forms of abuse, which has affected their health and well-being. The study also highlights the neglect of this abuse from society as there is no social support.
