THE EFFECTS OF HALAL CERTIFICATION AND PRODUCT FEATURES ON CONSUMER BEHAVIOR
Authors: Yener Dursun
Published: July 2022

With the rise in the population of Muslims globally, the issue of halal products is becoming increasingly important. The fact that consumers prefer halal products and demand more of these products has attracted companies’ attention as well. The certification of halal products and product type affects the behavior of consumers towards these products. Besides that, the countries that produce the products, whether Muslim or not, is a matter of concern for consumers who are sensitive about halal products. In this study, halal product certification, how consumer behavior changes according to product type, and the country where the product is produced were examined. A scenariobased experiment was used to test the hypotheses developed, and the effects of independent variables on consumer purchase intention, trust, and perceived risk were examined. The religiosity scale was used as a control variable to control consumer religious sensitivities in the study. The results showed that halal-certified products and Muslim country product origin led to a higher level of consumer purchase intention, trust, and lower levels of perceived risk. Besides that, the existence of halal certification increased purchase intention for utilitarian products. Based on the results, the interaction of halal certification and country of origin has a significant impact on consumer purchase intention, while the interaction of halal certification and product type has a significant impact on consumer purchase intention as well as perceived risk. Halal certification increases both consumer purchase intention and trust in products produced by non-Muslim countries.
ENHANCING ACCESS TO JUSTICE THROUGH E-JUDICIARY IN BANGLADESH
Authors: Abu Taher Mohammad , Jamaluddin Siti Zaharah
Published: July 2022

E-judiciary, meaning application of information and communication technologies (ICTs), in justice delivery mechanism is a global phenomenon as inordinate delay in settling disputes resulting in backlogs of cases is one of the common problems in access to justice in almost every judicial system. In Bangladesh, the backlog of cases has become a huge problem, creating a bottleneck in access to justice. Globally, case management is considered an approach appropriate to resolve the problem of delayed justice. Its attraction and utility lie in the ability of the mechanism to provide predictability in the administration of justice. ICTs are now regarded as essential tools for effective case management in addition to delivery of judicial services in an efficient manner. Realising its value as well as benefits, the judiciary of other countries like Australia, Malaysia, and India is using ICTs for reducing the backlog of cases and delivery of justice in an effective way. The countries have already modified their laws as such. To solve Bangladesh’s problem of delayed justice, a project for introducing ICTs in the judiciary has been launched by the Supreme Court of Bangladesh to facilitate prompt and efficient delivery of justice as well as necessary information to the litigants and the public. Hence, this article seeks to highlight the implications of ICTs in the justice delivery mechanism in Bangladesh. This study adopts the qualitative approach of research where primary and secondary data have been gathered from various statutes as well as existing literature. To underline the role of ICTs in making justice accessible, experiences of Australia, Malaysia and India have been shared in this paper. The paper finds that the application of ICTs in the judiciary can make a substantial impact in enhancing access to justice by reducing the backlog of cases. Therefore, the paper recommends that for ensuring access to justice, the application of ICTs in the justice delivery mechanism should be enhanced in Bangladesh.

Authors: Hermawan Sapto , Arso Hananto Supid
Published: July 2022

Children as national assets must receive significant concerns from their families, neighborhoods, and the state. Based on these circumstances, a variety of regulations are made, including the protection of children from sex offenders. Various arguments, both pro and contra, emerge in the regulation, which provides chemical castration punishment for child sex offenders. The objective of this article is to analyze the contesting of the chemical castration paradigm, both from theoretical and practical dimensions. It used a conceptual and legislative approach, through the analysis of several relevant books and articles as well as the opinions of qualified experts, which were then linked to one another. This paper argued that regardless of human rights perspectives, Indonesia’s future which lies in its future generations must receive more considerable attention. Therefore, the limitation of the perpetrators’ human rights should not be considered a human rights violation. Instead, this castration punishment protects the perpetrators’ human rights from a cruel retributive action from the victims’ family.

Published: July 2022

The article endeavors to analyze the implications of artificial intelligence (AI) in the legal fraternity. There have been various reports on the impact and challenges of AI in the legal fraternity in recent years. AI is used to perform legal work previously completed solely by human lawyers. The rise of AI technology has caused a great deal of apprehension among members of the legal fraternity both in Malaysia and globally. AI promises to disrupt the substratum of how legal work is practiced and delivered. Nevertheless, there are implications encountered by the legal fraternity in adopting AI in legal practice such as ethical responsibility, algorithm bias, data privacy and the lack of regulations for AI. The doctrinal method was employed in conducting this study. The primary objective of this article is to evaluate the implications of AI adoption in the legal fraternity and to propose recommendations for better integration of AI in the legal industry.
LEGAL ISSUES OF WORKING FROM HOME AMID THE COVID-19 PANDEMIC IN MALAYSIA
Authors: Abdul Wahab Harlida , Abd Razak Siti Suraya , Nik Mahmod Nik Ahmad Kamal
Published: July 2022

Flexible work arrangements are common during the COVID-19 pandemic as a result of the movement restriction and the closure of the economic sector. Among the flexibility practices is the implementation of remote working, in particular, working from home (WFH) where employees are physically working outside and remote from their organisations. The mandated WFH has changed the working scenario without confirming whether employers and employees are prepared for this new norm. However, the WFH arrangement requires legal consideration as its arrangement needed a legal predicament. The concern over WFH must be addressed on the grounds of managerial rights and boundaries besides determining the rights of employees while working remotely. From the legal viewpoint, there is a question of whether the existing labour law in Malaysia is accommodating to the WFH practice. Hence, this paper aims to examine the employment-related matters concerning WFH practice in Malaysia on employment terms like wages and leaves, matters on safety and health, social security, and confidentiality and security of information. This study applied a doctrinal approach using authoritative legal texts in solving the legal problems that arise from WFH. The analysis of legal provisions and case studies were employed to present the benefits of the employment relationship and industrial relations in the changing employment landscape and work culture linked to WFH.
Inclusive Rural Spaces in Architecture Education
Authors: Fries-Briggs Gabriel
Published: July 2022

Pedagogies of building systems in architectural education are traditionally framed as the technical knowledge guiding construction, material applications, structures, and mechanical building services. This paper provides a framework and a case study for centering inclusive and universal design principles in the teaching of building systems with a focus on designing public spaces for rural and aging populations. It proposes methods for integrating design accountability, sustainable environmental practices, and cultural contexts into architectural design and education.Public spaces, services, and resources are spread thinly outside of cities and denser communities, creating barriers to access for aging populations among others. This pedagogical framework for inclusive rural architecture focuses on post offices as one of the few public institutions in rural communities and a vital conduit to essential services (particularly during health crises). In the speculative space of architecture curriculum, students conceived of additional services and programs to rethink the role of post offices in communities. These programs targeted accessibility barriers by providing digital resource centers, transportation hubs, and community gathering spaces.The flexibility, adaptability, and comfort at the core of universal design principles provide a lens for understanding sustainable environmental techniques. Adaptable buildings constructed with replaceable and reusable parts allow for repair and resiliency over time. Material and structural systems designed for intuitive use and presentation of information promote accessible communication. Passive systems design enables comfort in dialog with the environment and a reduction in required energy. However as passive systems often require building operability, inclusive design principles call for building systems to be operable by diverse users. Post office projects in this case study integrated universal design principles to achieve energy efficient buildings that respond to changing climates and rural cultural contexts.Replacing minimum standards for accessibility within curricula with inclusive design criteria is also enacted through methodologies. While educational institutions are clustered in urban areas, many students come from or have ties to rural communities. The focus on rural public spaces and aging populations is a means for students to bring their own diverse backgrounds, places of origin, and histories into their academic studies. In combining methods of engaged research with a universal design-focused pedagogy for building systems, students expand technical knowledge of architectural design with the objective of creating equitable and inclusive public spaces.

Public Open Spaces: Enabling or Impeding Inclusive Evacuation during Disasters
Authors: Pacheco Barzallo Andrea , Fariña José , Álvarez de Andrés Eva
Published: July 2022

During disasters the death of persons with disabilities is higher than that of the rest of the population. This problem has many causes, and one of them has to do with the conditions of the physical environments which are not accessible for all, implying that people with disabilities require more time and effort to try to escape from dangerous places, protect themselves, and reach safety areas such as public spaces where people can gather, help each other, and remain safe at least during the first hours of an emergency. Thus, identifying the main problems that could prevent public spaces from becoming risk handling and inclusion resources during a disaster within social production settings is the main purpose of this research. The methodology used includes literature review, spatial audits based on inclusion and risk reduction standards within all public spaces of three neighborhoods of the city of Quito in Ecuador, and focus groups with the neighbors, persons with disabilities and their families. The three case studies selected are Atucucho, Carapungo and Auqui de Monjas, all present high disaster risk levels and have characteristics of social production of their territories. The results show that the conditions that need attention to enable public spaces become risk handling and inclusion resources during disasters have to do with three different dimensions; the first one refers to their physical characteristics and informational elements which must comply with universal accessibility requirements that provide autonomy and safety to all; the second dimension has to do with their connectivity, both on their ability to generate a network close to the community as well as to multi-modal mobility; the third dimension has to do with social and cultural aspects as persons with disabilities often feel that public spaces are not friendly for them because these are being occupied by other groups such as young people or that they are privatized in some way.

Visions of a City for All
Authors: Müller Lilian , Ericsson Stina , Hedvall Per-Olof
Published: July 2022

Despite laws, policies, and visions to create cities and societies for all, barriers still exclude persons with disabilities from using buildings and public places. Our study aimed to identify choices made during the urban development process, which include or exclude users in the built environment; how and when these arise during the process; and what is needed to implement Universal Design (UD) as a strategy and tool to secure all users equal opportunities in the built environment.The study involved employees and private actors in city development processes. The participants were asked to identify impediments and support of UD in completed building projects to shed light on choices made during the process and on conditions needed to implement UD along the process. Four workshops were followed by qualitative interviews with key players. The analysis was based on qualitative data from workshops and interviews.Aspects impeding and supporting UD and conflicting visions and goals were identified in all phases, and the need for tools to implement UD. Findings show that accessibility for all users is dealt with (too) late in the process, often causing special solutions. Urban trends like densification and high exploitation can cause exclusion of some users, and an unbalanced view on sustainable development prioritising ecological aspects put high demands on users’ abilities. Findings also show how UD appeared more clearly in remodelling projects than in the new constructions. A strong vision from the start to build for all users clearly supported UD throughout the process. Other factors such as pre-studies which include human diversity, allocation of resources and experts’ early opinions also showed to be clear drivers for UD.Overall, the findings show a demand for solutions to maintain early visions and goals throughout the processes. We conclude by providing seven recommendations for addressing these challenges.

Disability Inclusion and Accessibility in Zimbabwe
Authors: Ndhlovu Edwin , Mudzingwa Nyunyutai
Published: July 2022

The viewpoint explores challenges and opportunities for Persons With Disabilities (PWDs) in accessing public institutions in line with the United Nations Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (UNCRPD) in Zimbabwe. The study is based on the social model of disability, reinforced by the human rights perspective, which seek to meaningfully address issues bedevilling PWDs in their quest to be accorded the rightful place in the society, particularly in their access to public spaces. It further explains attitudinal, environmental and institutional barriers. Qualitative research method was used, coupled with a few key informant interviews. The target population for this study were first and foremost PWDs.  The study also targeted councillors, urban planners as well as administrators. Two subcategories of visually and physically impaired persons were carefully selected. The study findings indicated that attitudes and inadequate knowledge on disability by some community members and duty bearers also contribute to exclusion of Persons With Disabilities in public spaces. The study also found out that there are unfriendly facilities available. Additionally, the negative attitudes of stakeholders and administrative complications have deprived Persons With Disabilities from obtaining the benefits of available entitlements. Inadequate legislation, policy and lack of political will have also been established to be some of the factors leading to the side-lining of PWDs. The research recommends for creation of specific services in public spaces to support the needs of this group, integration of new technologies, and the domestication of the UNCRPD as well as the implementation of the disability policy, including best practices in disability inclusion, Specific policies should be supported by the allocation of funds and rigorous monitoring.

Crash Modification Functions for Passing Relief Lanes on Two-Lane Rural Roads
Authors: Persaud Bhagwant , Jafari Anarkooli Alireza , Almasi Shahram , Lyon Craig
Published: July 2022

  

Passing relief lanes on two-lane rural roads provide passing opportunities that would otherwise be scarce where there are extensive no passing zones and/or high opposing traffic volumes. The paper addresses the safety effects of installing a passing lane or lengthening an existing one. It stands to reason that the effect of installing a passing lane will depend on the actual length of that lane. By extension, it is also reasonable to expect that the safety effects of lengthening an existing one will depend not only on the amount of the lengthening, but also on the original length. Yet, knowledge that can be applied to estimate these two sets of effects in a design process is lacking. The crash modification factors (CMFs) in the Highway Safety Manual (HSM) and in the CMF Clearinghouse for installing a passing lane are all single valued, of the order of 0.75. And neither source provides CMFs for lengthening an existing passing lane. This paper seeks to address these voids by developing continuous crash modification functions (CMFunctions) for both sets of design decisions using Michigan and Ontario crash, geometric, and traffic data for passing lane and reference sections. Generalized linear modeling and full Bayes Markov Chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) simulation are used to develop cross-section regression models from which crash modification functions are derived and compared. The results are consistent with those from credible before-after studies, so are recommended for implementation in practice, in particular for HSM applications.
Comparison of Univariate and Two-Stage Approaches for Estimating Crash Frequency by Severity – Case Study for Horizontal Curves on Two-Lane Rural Roads
Authors: Persaud Bhagwant , Anarkooli Alireza Jafari , Hosseinpour Mehdi , Saleem Taha
Published: July 2022

  

The Highway Safety Manual (HSM) procedures apply specific safety performance functions (SPFs) and crash modification factors (CMFs) appropriate for estimating the safety effects of design and operational changes to a roadway. Although the applicability of the SPFs and CMFs may significantly vary by crash severity, they are mainly based on total crash counts, with different approaches for estimation of crashes by crash severity. The variety of approaches in the HSM and in the literature in general suggests that there may be no one best approach for all situations, and that there is a need to develop and compare alternative approaches for each potential application. This paper addresses this need by demonstrating the development and comparison of alternative approaches using horizontal curves on two-lane roads as a case study. This site type was chosen because of the high propensity for severe crashes and the potential for exploring a wide range of variables that affect this propensity. To facilitate this investigation, a two-stage modeling approach is developed whereby the proportion of crashes for each severity level is estimated as a function of roadway-specific factors and traffic attributes and then applied to an estimate of total crashes from an SPF. Using Highway Safety Information System (HSIS) curve data for Washington state, a heterogeneous negative binomial (HTNB) regression model is estimated for total crash counts and then applied with severity distribution functions (SDFs) developed by a generalized ordered probit model (GOP). To evaluate the performance of this two-stage approach, a comparison is made with predictions directly obtained from estimated univariate SPFs for crash frequency by severity and also from a fixed proportion method that has been suggested in the HSM. The results revealed that, while the two-stage SDF approach and univariate approach adopt different procedures for model estimation, their prediction accuracies are similar, and both are superior to the fixed proportion method. In short, this study highlights the potential of the two-stage SDF approach in accounting for crash frequency variations by severity levels, at least for curved two-lane road sections, and especially for the all too frequent cases where samples are too small to estimate viable univariate crash severity models.

Published: July 2022

In the Industry 4.0 era the optimisation of production processes become more and more important. A wide range of tools are used to improve the performance of production processes and related operations of the supply chain including purchasing, distribution and inverse processes. These tools have a great impact on the results of design and operation of production processes both technology and logistics point of view. Within the frame of this article, the authors are demonstrating the optimisation potentials of simulation tools and heuristic solvers (optimisers) through the problem of the well-knows permutation flow shop scheduling. They are describing the models and methods used in the case of FlexSim simulation systems and the heuristic solver option of Excel Solver. As the numerical results show, both the simulation model and the heuristic optimisation approach lead to a quasi-optimal solution.

Tüketim harcamaları ekonomik büyümeyi etkileyen temel faktörler arasında yer almaktadır. Özel sektör, kamu ve hane halkının tüketim harcamaları, Türkiye ve Doğu Avrupa ekonomileri gibi tüketime dayalı ekonomilerde büyümeye daha fazla katkı sağlamaktadır. Ayrıca tüketim harcamalarının ekonomik büyüme üzerindeki etkisi kısa vadeli para politikalarını etkilemektedir. Bu etki, para politikası kararları için alınan kısa vadeli tüketim harcamalarında farklılıklara neden olmaktadır. Bu bağlamda ekonomik karar vericilerin tüketim harcamalarını etkileyen faktörleri inceleyerek daha doğru politika kararları vermeleri gerekmektedir. Bu çalışmada özellikle son yıllarda Türkiye ve Doğu Avrupa kaynaklı tüketim harcamaları ile ekonomik büyüme arasındaki ilişki 2010-2020 dönemi yıllık veriler kullanılarak panel veri analiz yöntemiyle incelenmesi amaçlanmaktadır. Analiz sonuçlarına göre, incelenen ülkelerin tüketim harcamaları ile ekonomik büyüme arasında istatistiksel olarak anlamlı ve pozitif bir ilişki bulunurken, faiz oranları ve reel efektif döviz kuru ile ekonomik büyüme arasında anlamlı ve negatif bir ilişki bulunmuştur. Bu durumda ekonomik büyüme üzerinde temel belirleyici değişkenin tüketim harcamaları olduğu bulgusuna ulaşılmıştır.

Sovyetlerin himayesinde diğer ulusların etkisinden kurtulmak için kendi ulusal kimlik inşa sürecini başlatan Tacikler, 1920’liyılların başından itibaren yeniden bir “öze dönüş” süreci içine girmişlerdir. Çalışmada Tacikistan’ın tarihsel olarak içinden geçtiği süreç alınmış ve ulusal kimlik inşa sürecinde temel başvuru kaynakları olan dil ve tarihleri irdelenmiştir. Bu bağlamda Taciklerin ulusal kimlik inşasına yoğunlaşılan 1920-1930 yılları arasındaki yayınlar incelenmiş ve söz konusu süreçte dil ve tarih temelli bir kimlik oluşumu için medyanın etkin bir araç olarak kullandığı saptanmıştır. Tacikistan’ın Büyük Horasan’dan kalan bir parça olduğunu savunan Tacikler, Farsça dili üzerinden bir aidiyet oluşturmaya çalışmışlardır. Farsça ve Samani Devleti’ni referans alarak tarihi kimliklerini güçlendirmeyi amaçlayan Tacikler, bölgenin kadim halkı oldukları iddiasını dönemin çeşitli gazete ve dergilerinde vurgulamışlardır. Bu yaklaşım doğrultusunda Tacik dilinde (Farsça) gazeteler yayınlanmaya başlamışlardır. Söz konusu dönemde Farsça dilinde yayınlanan Danesh ve Amuzegar, Avaze Tacike Kem Begel, Danesh-Binesh (Rehber’e Danesh) gazeteleri incelenmiş ve gazete içeriklerinde sıklıkla Tacik dili, Tacik tarihi ve kültürü konularına ilişkin yayınlar yapıldığı ve ulusal bilincin uyandırılması için medyanın etkin bir araç olarak kullanıldığı tespit edilmiştir.

Students' Perceptions on English Learning Materials: Need Analysis of Islamic Studies Students
Authors: Warda Zaitun , Dalimunte Ahmad Amin
Published: July 2022

The English material has not met the needs of students and was created with the lecturer in mind. This study analyzes the English language needs of students majoring in Islam (ushuluddin) at the State Islamic University of North Sumatera, Indonesia. This study applied a qualitative descriptive research method to explore student perspectives on ESP courses. The research data was obtained through interviews and data collection of material documentation. The findings in this study proved that students who learned ESP need good material and can apply the results at the end of the lesson. Besides, what they have learned so far was the obtained course in high school, so it was not so difficult to understand. Hence, the language skills they command must be fulfilled from listening, speaking, reading, and writing to support their insights with Islamic foundations and majors.

Primer acercamiento para establecer Áreas Marinas Manejadas Localmente en República Dominicana
Authors: Conrado Martinez María Paula
Published: July 2022

El establecimiento de Áreas Marinas Manejadas Localmente (LMMA, por sus siglas en inglés) es considerada una estrategia efectiva para la conservación de biodiversidad y la cogestión de recursos. A pesar de su éxito en otros países, específicamente en la región del Indo-pacífico, esta herramienta aún no ha sido implementada en Latinoamérica. En República Dominicana, el Santuario Marino Arrecifes del Sureste fue seleccionado como estudio de caso debido a su importancia ecológica y socioeconómica, y considerando que esta área marina protegida se beneficiaría en gran medida de un enfoque de manejo local. La toma de datos se realizó por medio de una metodología cualitativa basada en entrevistas a representantes de diferentes sectores, incluyendo compañías de turismo privadas, representantes de autoridades gubernamentales, y expertos en conservación marina y gestión sostenible de recursos. A partir de la información recopilada se generaron nueve recomendaciones para consolidar exitosamente al menos una LMMA en el Santuario. Estas recomendaciones hacen énfasis en la implementación del marco normativo ya existente y la conservación del ecosistema, destacando a la vez la importancia de la participación y organización de las comunidades locales.

Este artículo es una evaluación temprana de la interacción en el proceso del Covid-19 y la adaptación del sistema educativo de RepúblicaDominicana a las restricciones sanitarias impuestas. La decisión de la "virtualización" de las clases produjo una inversión en equipos, entrenamiento de profesores y adecuación en el sector universitario y de las escuelas "bilingües". La disposición de volver a la "presencialidad"es estimada como un dislocamiento de la experiencia lograda en las universidades.

The quality of providing customer service channels is very influential on customer satisfaction. To keep customer satisfaction, it is necessary to have a good interaction from customer service to the customer. In this case, PT Dian Prima Jayaraya is one of the companies that utilize Solo's application product as a medium for customer service. The development of the Solo application makes the application's features more complex and makes it difficult for users to do activities in the application. Customer service has a role in accommodating questions and answering difficulties experienced by users. The number of incoming questions is quite large, so that the existing customer service team cannot answer. Ignored or unanswered questions can lower the level of customer satisfaction. Therefore, we need a system that can help optimize customer service in a Chatbot to minimize unanswered customer questions. A chatbot is a service powered by rules and artificialintelligence, which the user interacts with through a chat interface. The Chatbot will be built on an iOS prototype application and use the NLP (Natural Language Processing) platform, namely Dialogflow. This platform will process and scan every question given by the customer.

Intelligent Nanomaterials for Solar Energy Harvesting: From Polar Bear Hairs to Unsmooth Nanofiber Fabrication
Authors: Wang Qingli , He Ji-Huan , Liu Zhi
Published: July 2022

Polar bears can live in an extremely cold environment due to their hairs which possess some remarkable properties. The hollow structure of the hair enables the bear to absorb energy from water, and the white and transparent hairs possess amazing optical properties. However, the surface morphology function of bear hairs has been little-studied. Herein, we demonstrate that the micro-structured scales distributed periodically along the hair can absorb maximal radiative flux from the Sun. This polar bear hair effect has the ability for the hair surface not to reflect radiation with a wavelength of about 500 nm. Mimicking the polar bears’ solar performance in the fabrication of nanofibers will certainly stimulate intelligent nanomaterials for efficient solar energy absorption. Therefore, a new technology is discussed in this work for the fabrication of periodic unsmooth nanofibers toward solar energy harvesting.

We report a new 131I-labeling functional platform for targeted single-photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) imaging and radiotherapy of breast adenocarcinoma. In this study, polyethyleneimine (PEI) based nanogels (P.NH2 NGs) were prepared by water/oil polymerization, modified with targeted agent phenylboronic acid (PBA), and labeled with radionuclide 131I. The NGs without 131I-labeling own a spherical structure, uniform size distribution, and good cell viability. After 131I-labeling, the obtained 131I-PBA-PHP NGs displayed much higher cellular uptake than the non-targeted NGs due to the good softness and fluidity of NGs and the PBA targeting. The in vivo results demonstrated that 131I-PBA-PHP NGs could specifically target breast cancer cells and efficiently aggregate into xenograft breast adenocarcinoma for tumor SPECT imaging and specific radiotherapy. The developed 131I-labeling NGs may be used as a promising platform for efficient radioactive theranostic nanoplatform of tumor.

Mitophagy plays a vital role in the selective elimination of dysfunctional and unwanted mitochondria. As a receptor of mitophagy, FUN14 domain containing 1 (FUNDC1) is attracting considerably critical attention. FUNDC1 is involved in the mitochondria fission, the clearance of unfolded protein, iron metabolism in mitochondria, and the crosstalk between mitochondria and endoplasmic reticulum besides mitophagy. Studies have demonstrated that FUNDC1 is associated with the progression of ischemic disease, cancer, and metabolic disease. In this review, we systematically examine the recent advancements in FUNDC1 and the implications of this protein in health and disease.
