Nanoparticles in Renal Hypertension Therapy: Advances, Mechanisms, and Future Perspectives
Authors: Mehrotra Karren
Published: January 2025

Renal hypertension, a secondary form of hypertension stemming from kidney dysfunction, poses significant health
burdens due to its association with cardiovascular complications and end-stage renal disease (Goldblatt, 1934; Bakris, 2021).
Current therapeutic strategies often rely on antihypertensive drugs, but these are limited by suboptimal bioavailability, systemic
side effects, and lack of targeted action (Go et al., 2013). These limitations underscore the need for innovative treatment
modalities. Nanotechnology, particularly nanoparticle-based drug delivery systems have surfaced as an innovative approach
revolutionary approach to address these challenges by enabling precise, targeted therapy with improved efficacy and reduced
adverse effects (Langer & Peppas, 2021). Nanoparticles exhibit unique properties such as the enhanced permeability and
retention (EPR) effect, customizable surface modifications, and the capacity to deliver therapeutic agents directly to renal tissues
have made nanoparticles a promising approach (Maeda, 2015). Significant progress in this domain includes the creation of
lipid-based carriers, polymeric systems, metallic nanostructures, and inorganic nanoplatforms. Among these, lipid-based
systems, including liposomes and solid lipid nanoparticles, stand out for their versatility and efficiency, facilitating effective drug
encapsulation and sustained release, while polymeric carriers like PLGA nanoparticles enhance drug stability and control
release profiles (Wang et al., 2018; Patel et al., 2020). Metallic nanoparticles, including gold and silver systems, offer the
advantage of anti-inflammatory and antioxidative properties, while mesoporous silica nanoparticles enable high drug loading
capacity and renal-targeted delivery (Zhang et al., 2021; Xiao et al., 2022). Clinical translation of these technologies remains a
work in progress, yet preclinical studies reveal their promise in hypertension management. Functionalized nanoparticles
delivering ACE inhibitors, angiotensin receptor blockers (ARBs), and nitric oxide donors have demonstrated superior outcomes
in animal models by improving renal perfusion and endothelial function while reducing systemic toxicity (Singh et al., 2019;
Zhou et al., 2020). Further integration of artificial intelligence and computational modeling is paving the way for optimized
nanoparticle design, enhancing their therapeutic precision and scalability (Farokhzad et al., 2017). Despite promising
advancements, significant challenges persist. These include concerns regarding biocompatibility, toxicity, large-scale
manufacturability, and compliance with regulatory requirements (Kinnear et al., 2021). Bridging these gaps through
interdisciplinary collaboration and innovative research is imperative for successful clinical translation. Nanoparticle systems
hold immense potential for transforming renal hypertension treatment, providing safer and more effective therapeutic options
while minimizing healthcare burdens associated with chronic disease management.

Published: January 2025

Herbal dhoop, a kind of incense that is Ayurvedic, enhances medicine as well as spirituality. This is an exposition
comparing six different methods for preparing herbal dhoop from orange peels, cow dung, cow urine, marigold, neem, and
lemongrass oil. This article describes the methods for making herbal dhoop using any of the six ingredients from the collection
and processing of raw materials to mixing with other herbal materials, then shaping into sticks or cones, and finally drying and
burning to make fragran and valuable herbs. Results indicate that the raw materials used, the manufacturing procedure
followed, and the quality control taken before using it or during use would significantly play a role in case efficacy and safety of
the herbal dhoop. Further, potential benefits and limitations of each of the six ingredients in herbal dhoop preparation have
been discussed in this paper. The antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory activities include herbs like orange peel, marigold, and
neem. Cow dung and cow urine both have possible spiritual and medicinal benefits, while leamon grass oil has refreshing and
uplifiting aroma with possible effect of having antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory activities.The findings also establish that all
the six methods of preparing herbal dhoop have their advantages and limitations, making the choice method for formulating the
particular herbal dhoop dependent on what properties and uses it is intended to have. Further, studies on safety and efficacy of
herbal dhoop have so far been barely scratched, especially in exploring possible uses.

Generative AI and Access to Justice in Canada: The Case of Self-Represented Litigants [SRLs]
Authors: Ogunde Fife
Published: January 2025

This article examines generative AI’s influence from the perspective of SRLs, exploring the potential and limitations of Large Language Model [LLM] usage by this category of litigants. The paper argues that LLMs can play a significant role in enabling SRLs present decent cases in court and effectively participate in legal proceedings. However, the inherent deficiencies in LLMs may mean that LLMs do more harm than good to the cause of SRLs, particularly those who lack any form of legal training or knowledge. Ultimately, the ability of SRLs to properly harness the potential of LLMs will depend more on the literacy and understanding of SRLs rather than the availability of the technology.
Is there a relationship between financial development and geopolitical risk indices and sustainable development goals? A study on E3 countries
Authors: Demirkale Özge , Ojaghlou Mortaza
Published: January 2025

This paper explores the correlation between the Financial Development Index
(FDI) and the Geopolitical Risk Index (GPR) in relation to Sustainable
Development Goals (SDGs) within the E3 countries: Germany, France, and the
United Kingdom. With limited research available on the interaction between
these indices and the SDGs, this study aims to bridge that gap by focusing
on SDG 13 (Climate Action) and SDG 7 (Affordable and Clean Energy). Using
data spanning from 2000 to 2021, the analysis employs ARDL and Dynamic
Conditional Correlation (DCC) models to assess the impact of geopolitical
risks and financial development on these sustainability targets. Findings
reveal that in Germany, there are significant long-term relationships
between FDI and both SDG 13 and SDG 7, with geopolitical risks negatively
impacting both goals. Economic growth was observed to have a stronger
influence on SDG 13. In France, FDI positively affected SDG 13 but had no
statistically significant impact on SDG 7. Geopolitical risks had adverse
effects on both goals, while economic growth?s impact on SDG 7 was found to
be insignificant. In the UK, no significant long-term relationships were
identified; however, short-term analysis highlighted notable effects of FDI
and geopolitical risks on SDG 7. The DCC analysis revealed that the
relationship between SDG 13 and SDG 7 was relatively strong around 2000 but
weakened over time.

Published: January 2025

Objectives

To compare differences in craniofacial growth prediction results for Korean and American children according to growth prediction models developed using Korean and American longitudinal growth data.

Materials and Methods

Growth prediction models based on cephalometric landmarks were built for each population using longitudinally taken lateral cephalograms of Korean children and American children of northern European origin. The sample sizes of the serial datasets were 679 and 1257 for Korean and American children, respectively. On each cephalogram, 78 cephalometric landmarks were identified. The prediction models were based on the partial least squares method with 160 input and 154 output variables. For each group, growth was predicted by applying the prediction models developed using data from the same and different populations. The growth prediction results were compared and analyzed.

Results

The growth prediction results obtained with the prediction model developed using data from the same population were more accurate (P < .0001). The results distinctively visualized the discrepancies in the growth prediction results if different population types were not considered.

Conclusions

Applying a growth prediction model generated using data from the same population may be desirable.

Orsarker till klasskillnader i sjuklighet
Authors: Lundberg Olle
Published: January 2025

Klasskillnader i sjuklighet har påvisats i många studier för ett flertal länder, men orsakerna bakom dessa skillnader är mindre väl kdnda. Den internationella diskussionen på omrädet har varit centrerad kring artefakt- och selektionsförklaringar. I denna studie testas ett antal faktorer som kan antas orsaka klasskillnader i sjuklighet kausalt. Dessa är svårigheter under uppväxten, ekonomiska resurser, fysisk och psykisk arbetsmiljö, svagt socialt kontaktnät samt alkohol och tobakskonsumtion.
Analysen visar att fysisk arbetsmiljö är den främsta orsaken bakom klasskillnader i fysisk sjuklighet, men att också uppväxtförhållanden och alkohol- och tobakskonsumtion spelar en viss roll. För klasskillnader i psykiska besvär är det dessa tre faktorer plus svaga kontaknät som är de mest främträdande orsakerna.
Ravinto ja eriarvoisuus
Authors: Prättälä Ritva
Published: January 2025

Kirjoituksessa tarkastellaan ruoankäytön, ravintoaineiden saannin sekä ruokatapojen sosioekonomisia eroja ja pohditaan, ovatko erot muuttuneet aineellisen hyvinvoinnin lisääntyessä. Tarkastelun kohteena ovat hyvinvointivaltiot, erityisesti Suomi. Sekä Suomessa että monissa Länsi-Euroopan maissa ruoankäyttö ja ravintoaineiden saanti vaihtelevat siten, että ylemmissä sosioekonomisissa ryhmissä ruokavalio on lähempänä ravintosuosituksia. Ns. epäterveelliset ruokatottumukset ovat yleisimpiä niissä ryhmissä, joiden terveyskin on huonoin. Suomessa erityisesti maanviljelijöiden ruokavalio eroaa muista: sen energiasisältö on korkeampi ja rasva huomattavan tyydyttynyttä.
Hyvinvoinnin lisääntyessä ja elintarvikevalikoiman monipuolistuessa ruoankäytön määrälliset erot näyttävät kaikkialla vähiten kaventuneen. Laaja elintarvikevalikoima tekee kuitenkin mahdollisiksi uudet ruokatapoihin ja -tyyleihin perustuvat luokkaerottelun muodot, joiden merkitys tulevaisuudessa todennäköisesti kasvaa.

Measuring efficiency of commercial banks and other deposit institutions: DEA-Malmquist approach
Authors: Skvarciany Viktorija , Jurevičienė Daiva
Published: January 2025

Research background: Commercial banks play a vital role in the global financial system and are critical components of it. Hence, the efficient performance of commercial banks could lead to more robust economic stability, enhanced financial resilience, and sustainable growth. The pandemic/post-pandemic period forces the expansion of digitalisation in the economy, including the banking sector. The Malmquist Index helps to assess productivity change. This research fills the gap in measuring the dynamics of efficiency and productivity change during the pandemic/post-pandemic period in a small open economy.
Purpose of the article: The current study aims to assess and compare the dynamics of banking sector efficiency and productivity change in the pandemic/post-pandemic period.
Methods: Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) was used in the current research in order to measure the efficiency of deposit institutions operating in Lithuania. The study employed the input-oriented Constant Returns to Scale (CRS) model in order to assess how efficiently the banks utilise the inputs to achieve the outputs. The calculations of the efficiency scores were complemented using the Malmquist Index, which evaluates the productivity change over time using Total Factor Productivity Change (TFPCH), Technical Efficiency Change (TECH), and Technological Change (TCCH).
Findings & value added: To the best of the authors’ knowledge, this is the first study to explore the banks’ efficiency and productivity change using DEA and MI for the Lithuanian banking sector. The research results have revealed varying efficiency among the Lithuanian commercial banks and other deposit institutions within the four investigated models. Depending on the model, some studied deposit institutions reached the highest scores, while others showed lower efficiency. However, the results of the Malmquist Index have showed overall productivity growth across all the models, underlining positive technological advancements despite challenges like the COVID-19 pandemic, i.e. the productivity change showed a positive dynamic over the analysed period. The present research provides valuable insights and contributes to efficiency-related knowledge, highlighting trends in productivity for strategic decision-making and policy formulation based on the case of deposit institutions operating in Lithuania. The results are valuable and could be practically implied by other EU banks operating in small open economies by adopting the practices of the banks that were considered efficient and showed positive productivity change. In other words, high-performing Lithuanian banks could be treated as a benchmark and set as a model for less efficient banks operating in other EU countries.

Published: January 2025

Digital literacy has been a major theme in both public and higher education over the past 15 years. The information age demands new digital skills from citizens, which educational institutions need to develop. Keeping up with the challenges is becoming increasingly difficult and the effectiveness of digital and information activities often falls under of expectations. Research has shown that digital competences alone do not guarantee effective digital activity and that, in addition to competences, individuals may need to believe in the effectiveness of their own digital activity, to believe in their own skills and competences. This paper presents the results of a study conducted in 2023 to explore the possible connections between digital self-efficacy and digital competence.

Published: January 2025

This study assesses the performance of Small Finance Banks in India, focusing on their efficiency in the post-COVID-19 period from 2019 to 2023. It explores the influence of bank-specific and macroeconomic factors on the efficiency of Small Finance Banks, with the aim of understanding their role in promoting financial inclusion. The research employs a two-stage Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) framework to evaluate the efficiency of 10 selected Small Finance Banks. It incorporates both bank-specific variables (such as capital adequacy ratio, credit-deposit ratio, and liquidity ratio) and macroeconomic factors (GDP and inflation) in a Tobit regression model to analyze their influence on efficiency. The study reveals that the majority of Small Finance Banks remained resilient during the pandemic, consistently achieving high efficiency scores, except for a slight dip in 2020–2021 due to lockdown measures. Bank-specific factors indicate a converse association between capital adequacy ratio and efficiency, while liquidity ratio and credit-deposit ratio positively correlate with efficiency. Macro factors, including GDP and inflation, have minimal impact on Small Finance Banks efficiency. This study provides a comprehensive assessment of Small Finance Banks’ performance post-COVID-19, shedding light on the factors influencing their efficiency. It offers valuable insights for policymakers and Small Finance Banks to strengthen their role in advancing financial inclusion in India, contributing to a more inclusive and dynamic financial landscape. The findings suggest that Small Finance Banks should focus on expanding their influence in niche segments by increasing assets, deposits, and revenue streams while managing operating expenses and liquidity risks. Listing on the stock exchange and active policy support for research initiatives can enhance the Small Finance Banks ecosystem and drive financial inclusion.

Published: January 2025

The policy to accelerate the design of the Detailed Spatial Plan regulation document (RDTR) is a strategic step to enhance ease of doing business and promote sustainable development in Indonesia. Targeting 2036 RDTR sites nationwide, the initiative relies on various policy interventions and technical approaches. However, as of 8 January 2024, only 399 RDTRs (19.59%) were enacted after four years of implementation. This underperformance suggests the need to examine factors influencing the process, including issues at each stage of the RDTR design business process. While often overlooked due to its perceived irrelevance to the core substance of planning, analyzing the process is crucial to addressing operational and procedural challenges. This research identifies critical issues arising from the preparation to the enactment stage of RDTR regulations and proposes necessary policy changes. Using an explanatory approach, the study employs methods such as Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP), post-review analysis, stakeholder analysis, business process evaluation, and scenario planning. Results show several impediments, including challenges related to commitment, technical and substantive issues, managerial coordination, policy frameworks, ICT support, and data availability. These findings serve as inputs for the development of business process improvement scenarios and reengineering schemes based on Business Process Management principles.

El Imperio en la mesa: políticas alimentarias y cambios culinarios durante la colonización española de las islas Filipinas
Authors: Peña Filiu Verónica
Published: January 2025

Este artículo examina los factores que propiciaron la aparición de nuevos hábitos alimentarios en las islas Filipinas durante el período colonial español. Con este objetivo, en primer lugar se identificarán las circunstancias específicas que explican que la llegada de los colonos al archipiélago fuese acompañada de un proceso de transferencia culinaria. Aunque la difusión de nuevos alimentos y formas de alimentarse fue una parte indisociable de la expansión de las monarquías ibéricas, en las islas Filipinas este proceso presentó características propias. En segundo lugar se mostrará que los misioneros jesuitas fueron agentes relevantes en la introducción de nuevos ingredientes, prácticas y comportamientos alimentarios. Junto a la extensión del catolicismo, el proyecto evangelizador de la Compañía de Jesús buscó modificar todos aquellos comportamientos de las comunidades indígenas que se consideraban contrarios a una forma de vida «civilizada», incluidos los vinculados a la comida. Las estrategias misionales de los religiosos propiciaron la aparición de instituciones y espacios —como las reducciones, las haciendas, los colegios y los seminarios— que actuaron como centros de difusión de los principios de la cultura y la cocina católicas, y probablemente impulsaron cambios en los hábitos alimentarios de la población indígena.
CLIMATE CHANGE AS A SECURITY THREAT. LOSSES, DAMAGES AND IMPLICATIONS FOR FUNDING POLICY
Authors: BURCEA Ștefan Gabriel , REID Catriona , NICA Elvira
Published: January 2025

This paper is an argue for considering climate change as a security threat, with all the advantages, disadvantages and implications involved in. Our work provides a condensed scientific explanation of how global warming leads to climate change and extreme weather events, and then frame climate change through both a narrow and broad understanding of security. The main research questions addressed in the study are: In what sense might climate change be viewed as a security threat? What are the advantages and disadvantages of viewing climate change as a security threat? What are the funding policy implications in the context of existing climate justice models? With appropriate literature references we argue that climate change can be viewed as a security threat because of its consequences for migration, civil war and interstate conflict, and for human security. Therefore we address the main advantages for considering climate change a security threat (namely the chance for states to prepare for worst-case scenarios) and the main disadvantages (namely the securitisation of climate change). An outline of the components of ‘loss and damage’ policies was made, explaining exactly what sort of measures are required by developing countries and climate-vulnerable countries to respond to climate disasters. Next, four different models for prescribing responsibility onto developed countries for funding climate justice were assessed and critically evaluated. Lastly, concluding remarks covered the overall need for caution when discussing climate change in a security context and the need to ensure a balance is struck between militaristic and humanitarian approaches to climate change.

Music Composition based on the Concept of Nationalistic Multiculturalism. This paper aims at analyzing textually the music composition of Kidung Nusaraya. Kidung or tembang (Javanese) means a song, but then the meaning changes into 'something beautiful'.For that reason, all songs or something beautiful can be called as a kidung, including the instrumental music composition entitled Nusaraya. The word Nusaraya is related to the word Nusantara or Indonesia that is abundant with various culture and art potentials; a nation that must realize its potentials including the music to be promoted nationally and internationally.Viewed from the musical perspective, the slogan Bhinneka Tunggal Ika shows that Indonesians are very open in enriching their national music because of their idiomatic variation. The orchestra symphony composition of Nusaraya presents a combination between some Western instruments with the instruments of Nusantara ethnical music to produce beautiful symphonic sounds. Kidung Nusaraya consists of five parts, namely 1) Dialogue, 2) Adaptation, 3) Tolerance, 4) Introspection, 6) Convention, 7) My Country Symphony 8) My Tribute, and 9) My Hope. Keywords: Kidung, music composition, multiculturalism.
