चीन की स्ट्रिंग ऑफ पर्ल्स नीति: भारत की समुंद्री सुरक्षा के लिए रणनीतिक चुनौती
Authors: मुकेश कुमार यादव  , डॉ.  शकील हुसैन
Published: October 2024

‘‘स्ट्रिंग ऑफ पर्ल्स‘‘ नीति चीन की रणनीतिक पहल को संदर्भित करती है, जिसके तहत हिंद महासागर क्षेत्र (आईओआर) में सैन्य और वाणिज्यिक ठिकानों का एक नेटवर्क स्थापित किया गया है, जो चीनी मुख्य भूमि से लेकर अफ्रीका के तटों तक फैला हुआ है। यह भू-राजनीतिक रणनीति, जिसे शुरू में यू.एस. कंसल्टिंग फर्म बूज एलन हैमिल्टन द्वारा परिकल्पित किया गया था, ने प्रमुखता प्राप्त की है क्योंकि चीन अपने प्रभाव को बढ़ाने और महत्वपूर्ण समुद्री व्यापार मार्गों को सुरक्षित करने का प्रयास कर रहा है। भारत के लिए, स्ट्रिंग ऑफ पर्ल्स इसकी राष्ट्रीय सुरक्षा के लिए एक बहुआयामी खतरा है, क्योंकि इसका उद्देश्य न केवल भौगोलिक रूप से भारत को घेरना है, बल्कि इस क्षेत्र में इसके रणनीतिक हितों को भी कमजोर करना है।‘‘चीन की ‘स्ट्रिंग ऑफ पर्ल्स‘ रणनीति महत्वपूर्ण समुद्री मार्गों को सुरक्षित करने और भारत को घेरने वाला प्रभाव नेटवर्क स्थापित करने के उसके इरादे का स्पष्ट संकेत है।‘‘ (कुमार, 2016, पृष्ठ 45) पाकिस्तान में ग्वादर, श्रीलंका में हंबनटोटा और म्यांमार और जिबूती में सुविधाओं जैसे बंदरगाहों और नौसैनिक सुविधाओं में चीन के निवेश को महत्वपूर्ण समुद्री चोकपॉइंट्स में पैर जमाने के प्रयासों के रूप में देखा जाता है। ये विकास चीन को भारतीय जल के करीब अपनी नौसैनिक शक्ति को प्रदर्शित करने में सक्षम बनाते हैं, जिससे हिंद महासागर में भारत के पारंपरिक प्रभुत्व को चुनौती मिलती है। इन ठिकानों की स्थापना से न केवल वाणिज्यिक गतिविधियों को बढ़ावा मिलेगा, बल्कि सैन्य अभियान भी संचालित होंगे, जिससे चीन के इरादों और क्षेत्र में अभियान युद्ध करने की उसकी क्षमता के बारे में चिंताएँ बढ़ रही हैं। स्ट्रिंग ऑफ पर्ल्स रणनीति समुद्र में टकराव की संभावना को बढ़ाकर भारत की समुद्री सुरक्षा के लिए सीधी चुनौती पेश करती है। भारतीय जल के निकट चीनी नौसैनिक परिसंपत्तियों की उपस्थिति से तनाव और संघर्ष बढ़ सकते हैं, विशेष रूप से दक्षिण चीन सागर और हिंद महासागर जैसे विवादित क्षेत्रों में। इसके अलावा, पड़ोसी देशों के साथ चीन के गठबंधनों के माध्यम से भारत की रणनीतिक घेराबंदी भारत की सुरक्षा दुविधा को बढ़ाती है, जिससे उसे अपनी रक्षा स्थिति और क्षेत्रीय रणनीति का पुनर्मूल्यांकन करने के लिए मजबूर होना पड़ता है। प्रस्तुत षोध पत्र में चीन की स्ट्रिंग ऑफ पर्ल्स नीति का विष्लेषण कर भारत की समुंद्री सुरक्षा के लिए समाधान प्रस्तुत करने का प्रयास किया गया है।

THE INFLUENCE OF JAZZ AND BLUES ON AFRICAN AMERICAN LITERATURE
Authors: Faiza Farhat Mohammad Mustafa
Published: October 2024

This research paper explores the profound influence of jazz and blues on African American literature, highlighting their role in shaping themes, narrative techniques, and cultural expressions. Jazz and blues, with origins rooted in African traditions and their evolution in the United States, serve as cultural symbols representing the resilience, creativity, and spirit of the African American community. The Harlem Renaissance marked a significant intersection of music and literature, with key figures such as Langston Hughes, Zora Neale Hurston, and Ralph Ellison incorporating musical elements into their works to explore themes of identity, struggle, resilience, and community.Langston Hughes' poetry, notably "The Weary Blues," captures the rhythmic and emotional depth of blues, while Zora Neale Hurston’s novels, including "Their Eyes Were Watching God," integrate musical elements and African American folklore. Ralph Ellison’s "Invisible Man" employs jazz influences to explore themes of identity and cultural expression. These works demonstrate how jazz and blues have shaped the narrative structures and thematic depth of African American literature.Contemporary African American writers continue this tradition, drawing on jazz and blues to enhance their storytelling. Toni Morrison’s "Jazz" and Jesmyn Ward’s "Sing, Unburied, Sing" exemplify the ongoing influence of these musical genres, using them to deals complex themes and preserve cultural narratives.The paper concludes that the interconnectedness of music and literature in African American culture is a testament to the community's rich artistic heritage. Jazz and blues are integral to the African American narrative, providing a soundtrack to the community’s experiences and enhancing the emotional and cultural depth of their literature. This relationship celebrates the past and inspires future generations, ensuring the enduring legacy of jazz and blues in African American literary tradition.

AN AYURVEDIC VIEW OF MUSCULOSKELETAL SYSTEM
Authors: Dr. Jayalakshmi S
Published: October 2024

The human body is a complex organism, the gross mechanical properties of which are enabled by an interconnected musculoskeletal network controlled by the nervous system. The nature of musculoskeletal interconnection facilitates stability, voluntary movements, and robustness to injury50. It is also known as the loco motor system, and previously known as the activity system51. The skeleton is the structure that gives us our shape and provides protection for our internal organs. It offers a supportive framework for the attachment of muscles there for facilitating movement. Our bones also act as a site for the production of blood cells and a store of minerals, particularly calcium. The skeleton has five main functions: Support, Protection, Movement, Blood cell production and mineral store54.Despite being an ancient science Ayurveda gives detailed description about human Anatomy and Musculoskeletal system. In Ayurveda, Peshi, Asthi,Sandhi , Snayu, Kandara along with Jaala, Kurcha, Mamsarajju, Seevani, Sangatha,and Simantha are decscibed as the part of Musculoskeletal system. Diseses relared to musculoskeletal system are increasing day by day. Proper knowledge about this system will help to understand the diseases better and proper and effective management.
पंचायती राज में महिलाओं की राजनीतिक भूमिका: एक अवलोकन

The difference between values of superior,nasal,inferior,temporal and average RNFL thickness among glaucoma suspect and normal (controls) was found to be statistically significant(p value<0.001).
The difference between values of superotemporal, superior, superonasal, inferonasal, inferior, inferotemporal, average and minimum GCIPL (Ganglion cell Inner plexiform layer) thickness in µm, as estimated on OCT macula, was found to be statistically significant among glaucoma suspect patients and normal (controls) (p value <0.001).
Upon applying Spearman’s rho correlation coefficient test in glaucoma suspect patients for GCIPL thickness and RNFL thickness, statistically significant correlation was found between Inferior RNFL thickness with Inferotemporal GCIPL thickness(p value 0.029) and Temporal RNFL thickness with Inferotemporal GCIPL thickness .(p values 0.006).
Upon applying Spearman’s rho correlation coefficient test in normal (controls) for GCIPL thickness and RNFL thickness,statistically significant correlation was found between Superior RNFL thickness with Superior GCIPL thickness(p value 0.038), Superior RNFL thickness with Superonasal GCIPL thickness (p values 0.012 ), and Average RNFL thickness with Average GCIPL thickness (p value 0.033)
CONCLUSION:
In our study we found there is statistically significant reduction in thickness in all measured quadrants of Macular GCIPL and RNFL in glaucoma suspect patients compared to normal. Also, a statistically significant correlation was found between Inferior RNFL thickness with Inferotemporal GCIPL thickness and Temporal RNFL thickness with Inferotemporal GCIPL thickness in glaucoma suspect patients,suggesting good diagnostic ability of inferotemporal macular GCIPL thickness.
THE ADVERSE LABOR AND DELIVERY EXPERIENCE FACED BY BLACK WOMEN
Authors: Sophia Alexander
Published: October 2024

Healthcare and equity go hand in hand, but this is usually not the case for pregnant black women, prenatally and during labor and delivery. The general public frequently has certain views regarding black women, and these biases can be projected by healthcare providers, as well. The relationship between a woman and an Obstetrician/Gynecologist (OB/GYN) is vital for a mother and her baby. Black women constantly experience negativity and dismissal of inquiries in the medical field. Not only does this lead to detrimental outcomes, but it also discourages these women from asking for help when needed. This leads to the overall health vulnerability/disparity experienced by black women regarding systemic racism. Research indicates that black women need more equitable care in general, but this narrative focuses on obstetrics. Black women and infants' lives are lost due to the poor quality and under-utilization of their healthcare.
Nonsymmorphic spin-space cubic groups and SU(2)$_1$ conformal invariance in one-dimensional spin-1/2 models
Authors: Yang Wang , Nocera Alberto , Xu Chao , Affleck Ian
Published: October 2024

Recently, extended gapless phases with emergent SU(2)_11 conformal invariance occupying finite regions in the phase diagrams have been found in one-dimensional spin-1/2 models with nonsymmorphic O_hOh symmetry groups. In this work, we investigate the question of whether the conditions for emergent SU(2)_11 invariance can be loosened. We find that besides the nonsymmorphic O_hOh group, the other four smaller nonsymmorphic cubic groups including OO, T_hTh, T_dTd and TT can also give rise to emergent SU(2)_11 invariance. Minimal spin-1/2 models having these nonsymmorphic cubic groups as symmetry groups are constructed, and numerical evidences for the emergent SU(2)_11 invariance are provided. Our work is useful for understanding gapless phases in one-dimensional spin systems with nonsymmorphic symmetries.
The giant graviton expansion in $AdS_5 \times S^5$
Authors: Eleftheriou Giorgos , Murthy Sameer , Rosselló Martí
Published: October 2024

The superconformal index of \frac1212-BPS states of \mathcal{N}=4𝒩=4U(N)U(N) super Yang-Mills theory has a known infinite qq-series expression with successive terms suppressed by q^NqN. We derive a holographic bulk interpretation of this series by evaluating the corresponding functional integral in the dual AdS_5 × S^55×S5. The integral localizes to a product of small fluctuations of the vacuum and of the collective modes of an arbitrary number of giant-gravitons wrapping an S^3S3 of maximal size inside the S^5S5. The quantum mechanics of the small fluctuations of one maximal giant is described by a supersymmetric version of the Landau problem. The quadratic fluctuation determinant reduces to a sum over the supersymmetric ground states, and precisely reproduces the first non-trivial term in the infinite series. Further, we show that the terms corresponding to multiple giants are obtained precisely by the matrix versions of the above super-quantum-mechanics.

Background: Inclusive Education is problematic in several countries including Rwanda and has been held back by a number of factors including negative attitudes towards people with disabilities. School administrators and teachers have not sufficient skills so that they can manage inclusive schools and it requires several and regular training to be equipped with necessary knowledge and get sensitized on how to introduce inclusive practices. The study examined the contribution of inclusive education on performance of learners with learning difficulties in Rwandan public primary schools especially in Kicukiro District. To examine the level of implementation of inclusive education to the performance of learners with learning difficulties in public primary schools, to assess the performance of learners with learning difficulties in public primary schools in general education, to establish the relationship between inclusive education and the performance of learners with learning difficulties in public primary schools. The target population of this research was 240 population, from which a sample size of 148 respondents chosen as the participants of the study were 70 parents of learners with disabilities from public primary schools selected 69 teachers, 6 head teachers and 3 sector educational inspectors of 3 sectors of Kicukiro District. Nine respondents (6 HTs and 3 SEIs) were sampled using a purposive sampling technique, while 148 respondents (69 teachers and 70 parents of learners with disabilities) were selected using a simple random sampling. Methods and Methodology: This study used a survey research design with questionnaires as instruments of data collection and guided interview. The SPSS version 2.0, Logical analysis and Microsoft Excel 2010 was used in description and interpretation of results via tables, chart and figures. The researcher provided recommendations and conclusions depending on the findings of the research. Results: The findings showed that the effort put in the implementation of inclusive education practices and their relationship between inclusive education and performance contributed to the learners achievement as 95% of teachers and 89% of the head teachers with SEIs, they assumed there was a close relationship between inclusive education and learners performance because one affected the other one. Conclusion: It is recommended to the ministry of education of Rwanda (MINEDUC), to include the contents and strategies that facilitate teaching and learning processes for learners with learning difficulties at all level of education. The further research should consider collecting data via observational methods, fieldwork, and classroom visits to check if the competencies that this study identified are indeed being applied in Rwandas classrooms.

Published: October 2024

The escalating wartime risks in Ukraine has led to a rapid reduction in insurance coverage in life and non-life segments. The purpose of the study is to rank Ukraine’s insurance companies based on an adaptation of the DEA method to the insurance market conditions. The study utilized the Supervisory Statistics of the National Bank of Ukraine as data. The study also used ranking of insurance companies based on technical efficiency criteria. The output indicators include the profitability of total capital (Output1) and the occupied share of the insurance market (Output2). The input indicators comprise the volume of total assets of insurers (Input1), the share of equity capital in assets (Input2), the level of gross payments (Input3), and the level of payments to insurance reserves (Input4). The ranking of insurance companies is based on minimizing the distance of each from the bounds of technical efficiency by solving a set of optimization problems. Based on the modeling results, a list of market leaders (7 companies) was formed for the end of the third quarter of 2023. They served nearly 37% of the insurance market in Ukraine, accumulating 41.5% of the total assets of this financial market sector. So, the primary issue for insurance companies is the loss of solvency due to the absence of adequate levels of insurance reserves. Therefore, priority measures should include strengthening regulatory constraints in this financial market segment to facilitate its qualitative renewal.

Published: October 2024

Policymakers, educators, and businesses must develop artificial intelligence-related initiatives and strategies to effectively engage and benefit the population. The study aims to evaluate awareness and readiness to utilize artificial intelligence by the adult population of Ukraine in 2022. The paper employed a questionnaire consisting of two sets of questions: 1) awareness of artificial intelligence and 2) readiness to use artificial intelligence. A total of 806 respondents were interviewed via an online survey. The margin of error does not exceed 5%. The results indicate that while Ukrainians have a generally positive view of artificial intelligence, they remain skeptical about the prospect of robots functioning as workplace partners. The majority find it difficult to envision collaborating with a robot in a professional setting (only 36.9% of Ukrainians are ready to work with a robot). The survey highlights that the primary benefits of AI products and services valued by Ukrainians include timesaving, increased comfort, and enhanced service accessibility. Ukrainian men demonstrate a greater degree of commitment and awareness of artificial intelligence products/services than Ukrainian women. Young people are the most informed age group about artificial intelligence products/services. Residents of the western regions indicate a more significant impact of artificial intelligence on the present, unlike respondents from the eastern regions of Ukraine.

Intelligent Text Processing: A Review of Automated Summarization Methods
Authors: Sorokina Svetlana
Published: October 2024

Interest in innovative technological strategies and modern digital tools has increased significantly due to the need to manage large amounts of unstructured data. This paper reviews current paradigms and services for automated summarization, developed based on interdisciplinary research in linguistics, computer technologies, and artificial intelligence. It focuses on syntactic and lexical techniques employed by neural network models for text compression. The paper presents performance examples of such AI-powered services as QuillBot, Summate.it, WordTune, SciSummary, Scholarcy, and OpenAI ChatGPT. The contemporary automated models proved effective in using extractive and abstractive methods to generate summaries of varying quality and length. The extractive approach relies on identifying the most significant sentences from the original text, while abstractive algorithms create new sentence structures that preserve the main idea of the original content. Automated summarizers effectively utilize text compression techniques that are inherent to human approach to text processing, e.g., they exclude redundant information, simplify complex structures, and generalize data. These technologies provide high accuracy and coherence in the generated summaries, though each summarization model has its limitations. Optimal results depend on the specifics of the task at hand: extractive models provide brevity and precision while abstractive ones allow for deeper semantic processing. Automated summarization is becoming an important tool in various fields that require effective analysis and processing of large text data.

The model was run with the baseline period (1980–2010) and three future periods, namely, the 2030s, 2050s, and 2070s under two representative concentration pathway (RCP) scenarios, namely, RCP 4.5 and RCP 8.5. The results indicated a substantial decline in phenology, grain yield, biomass, and crop water productivity (CWP) under both scenarios. The grain yield of wheat showed a decline by 12.3, 20.5, and 19.8% during the 2030s, 2050s, and 2070s, respectively, under RCP 4.5 at baseline CO2 concentration, while at elevated concentration of CO2, the reduction was 10.2, 15.7, and 14.9%, respectively. Under RCP 8.5, the yield reduction was 18.8, 26.5, and 27.3% during the 2030s, 2050s, and 2070s, respectively, with baseline concentration of CO2, while with increased CO2 the yield reduction was 7, 12.6, and 8.9%, respectively. CWP decreased at baseline CO2 by 9, 17.6, and 18.3% for RCP 4.5 and 10.6, 20.6, and 22.6% for RCP 8.5 during the 2030s, 2050s, and 2070s, respectively. However, beneficial impact of CO2 fertilization on CWP was noticed in both RCP scenarios, resulting in relatively less reduction under future CO2 concentration.

The Hexi Corridor is located in northwest China, and its water resources mainly rely on meltwater from the Qilian Mountains and limited precipitation. The Hexi Corridor is an important regional population center and grain production area. However, limited rainfall restricts regional development due to inadequate water resources. Assessing water resource security in the Hexi region and providing targeted recommendations are crucial for rational planning and utilization of water resources, protecting the ecological environment, and promoting development. This study employs the entropy weight method to construct a pressure-state-response (PSR) system, assessing the water resource security of various river basins in the Hexi inland area. The evaluation results indicate that since the 21st century, the comprehensive water resource security scores of the three river basins have shown an upward trend. Specifically, the economic and social systems of the Shule River Basin and Heihe River Basin are improving, while their natural systems are declining; all three systems in the Shiyang River Basin are improving. Based on these results, targeted recommendations for different areas are proposed, providing a basis for enhancing water resource security in the region.

Diverse bacterial assemblages were identified in a large, open stormwater drain (vernacular: nalah) built decades ago in a densely populated suburb of Delhi, India. Illumina-based next-generation sequencing (NGS) of 16S rRNA gene amplicons was conducted with metagenomic DNAs isolated from influent sewage water and sediment samples collected from Sahibabad drain, which now carries domestic and industrial wastes to downstream sewage treatment plants. Results are discussed with respect to diversity and adaptation to unique ecological niche(s) in these drains as well as the prevalence of potentially pathogenic bacteria. Recently, it has become a common practice to cover such drains with thick cement slabs to facilitate the construction of residential/commercial complexes. However, the impact of concrete covers on microbial communities that inhabit the Sahibabad drain is unknown. Results indicated that open drains with better aeration and exposure to sunlight contained microbes that likely enhance biodegradation in sewage water. The deposition of sediments along the course of the drain was dominated by methanogenic and sulphidogenic bacteria. The covering of the drain may have contributed to an increased abundance of anaerobic pathogens which settled in sediments and/or resuspended into sewage water. Such findings are important as the microbes active in sewage can impact public health and drain infrastructure.

ZMIANY W SEKTORZE TRANSPORTU KOLEJOWEGO NA RZECZ REALIZACJI CELÓW POLITYKI KLIMATYCZNEJ UNII EUROPEJSKIEJ
Authors: Dobaczewska Anna
Published: October 2024

Europejski Zielony Ład” jest głównym dokumentem o charakterze strategicznym Unii Europejskiej w odniesieniu do realizacji celów polityki klimatycznej i zrównoważonego rozwoju. Zakłada on między innymi redukcję emisji gazów cieplarnianych o 90% do 2050 r. w sektorze transportu, głównie za sprawą włączenia transportu drogowego i morskiego do systemu handlu prawami do emisji CO2, w którym wcześniej już funkcjonował transport kolejowy. Wyrównanie warunków konkurencji pomiędzy różnymi rodzajami transportu i popularyzacja transportu kolejowego wymagają wielorakich i jednoczesnych działań prawodawcy, organów publicznych różnych szczebli, zarządców infrastruktury transportowej, instytucji finansowych i inwestorów prywatnych. Ich starania powinny być ukierunkowane na zmiany w przepisach dotyczących zagospodarowania przestrzennego, prowadzenia inwestycji infrastrukturalnych, finansowania badań oraz inwestycji, digitalizacji systemów operacyjnych, pozwalających łącznie rozbudować i unowocześnić usługi transportu kolejowego oraz dokonać zmiany nawyków transportowych obywateli. Wyzwaniem zdają się procedury planistyczne, inwestycyjne i brak dostatecznych środków finansowych na ich terminową realizację. W rozwiązaniu tych problemów ważną rolę do odegrania mają organy administracji publicznej.

GODNOŚĆ ZWIERZĄT – W KIERUNKU KULTURY OCHRONY I ETYKI ŻYCIA
Authors: Kowalska Samanta
Published: October 2024

Zanieczyszczenie środowiska na skalę globalną, w szybkim tempie zwiększająca się degradacja ekosystemów i bioróżnorodności skłaniają do poszukiwania skuteczniejszych mechanizmów ochrony. W rozważaniach zostanie przedstawiona nowatorska koncepcja godności zwierząt wprowadzona na gruncie prawa szwajcarskiego. W celu omówienia norm wywodzących się z odmiennych uwarunkowań ustrojowo-prawnych posłużono się metodą komparatystyczną, która dopełnia analizę o charakterze dogmatycznym. W rozważaniach wykazano, że zwierzęta odznaczają się wartością, która łączy zarówno wymiar ontologiczny, jak i aksjologiczny istnienia. Na gruncie prawa szwajcarskiego koncepcja godności zwierząt znajduje zastosowanie do bioinżynierii i badań genetycznych. Ze względu na uniwersalną wymowę w niniejszym artykule postuluje się szerszy sposób pojmowania koncepcji godności zwierząt, wykraczającej poza badania laboratoryjne.

Authors: Mahajan Kalpesh , Pawar Dipika , Bhattacharya Sankha
Published: October 2024

This study aimed to undertake a complete evaluation and analysis of all
known data on RNA-dependent RNA polymerase (RdRp) inhibitors, concentrating on
their safety, efficacy, and current improvements in the delivery of therapeutic drugs targeting
RdRp of SARS-CoV-2. The work has attempted to emphasise the necessity for future
research into the development of nanocarrier-based targeted drug delivery methods
for RdRp inhibitors in the treatment of COVID-19. In December 2019, a novel SARS--
CoV-2 strain was discovered in Wuhan, China. SARS-CoV-2 is transferable among humans
and has caused a global pandemic. The rapid global outbreak of SARS-CoV-2 and
numerous deaths caused because of coronavirus disease (COVID-19) prompted the
World Health Organization to announce a pandemic on March 12, 2020. COVID-19 is
becoming a key concern that has a significant impact on an individual’s life status.
RdRp inhibitors are major pharmaceutical agents used in the treatment of COVID-19,
which have various undesirable side effects, a greater risk of recurrence, lower bioavailability,
as well as a lack of targeted therapy. Hence, the present article has provided a review
on all known data on RdRp inhibitors, safety, and efficacy, and recent advances in
the delivery of therapeutic agents targeting RdRp of SARS-CoV-2. An analysis has been
done using a scientific data search engine, such as the National Center for Biotechnology
Information (NCBI/PubMed), Science Direct, Google Scholar, WIPO, Lens, etc. The
information has emphasized the need for more research into the safety, efficacy, and development
of nanocarrier-based targeted drug delivery systems for RdRp inhibitors in
the treatment of COVID-19.

Published: October 2024

One of the most well-known instances of an interdisciplinary subject is tissue engineering,
where experts from many backgrounds collaborate to address important health issues and improve
people's quality of life. Many researchers are interested in using chitosan and its derivatives
as an alternative to fabricating scaffold engineering and skin grafts in tissue because of its natural
abundance, affordability, biodegradability, biocompatibility, and wound healing properties. Nanomaterials
based on peptides can provide cells with the essential biological cues required to promote
cellular adhesion and are easily fabricated. Due to such worthy properties of chitosan and
peptide, they find their application in tissue engineering and regeneration processes. The implementation
of hybrids of chitosan and peptide is increasing in the field of tissue engineering and
scaffolding for improved cellular adherence and bioactivity. This review covers the individual applications
of peptide and chitosan in tissue engineering and further discusses the role of their conjugates
in the same. Here, the recent findings are also discussed, along with studies involving the
use of these hybrids in tissue engineering applications.

Authors: Sharma Ritika , Kour Avneet , Dewangan Hitesh Kumar
Published: October 2024

Parkinson's disease (PD) is a complex neurological condition caused due to inheritance,
environment, and behavior among various other parameters. The onset, diagnosis, course of therapy,
and future of PD are thoroughly examined in this comprehensive review. This review also presents
insights into pathogenic mechanisms of reactive microgliosis, Lewy bodies, and their functions
in the evolution of PD. It addresses interaction complexity with genetic mutations, especially
in genes such as UCH-L1, parkin, and α-synuclein, which illuminates changes in the manner dopaminergic
cells handle proteins and use proteases. This raises the improved outcomes and life
quality for those with PD. Potential treatments for severe PD include new surgical methods like
Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS). Further, exploration of non-motor manifestations, such as cognitive
impairment, autonomic dysfunction, and others, is covered in this review article. These symptoms
have a significant impact on patients' quality of life. Furthermore, one of the emerging therapeutic
routes that are being investigated is neuroprotective medicines that aim to prevent the aggregation
of α-synuclein and interventions that modify the progression of diseases. The review concludes
by stressing the dynamic nature of PD research and the potential game-changing impact of
precision medicines on current approaches to therapy.
