Political Corruption Monitoring System in Georgia
Authors: Mogeladze Natia 
Published: October 2023

Georgia treated combating corruption, a harmful socio-political phenomenon, as one of the top priorities of public policy and, sharing international experience, has defined the regulation of the legality of political finance as an important element of the anti-corruption strategy.
In 2011, material changes were introduced in the Organic Law of Georgia on Political Associations of Citizens. The reform offered a completely new political corruption monitoring system in the country. They established the Financial Monitoring Service of Political Parties within the State Audit Office of Georgia with the main task to control the legality and transparency of political finance. To that end, the Monitoring Service was assigned to monitor and ensure the transparency of the revenues and expenses of the political parties and also was given the power to apply administrative proceedings and sanctions.
Since 2022, this mandate, along with other anti-corruption duties, has been granted to a legal entity under public law - the Anti-Corruption Bureau, which is independent in its operations and reports only to the Parliament of Georgia and the Interagency Anti-Corruption Council.
We will try in this study, giving due consideration to the best international practices, to analyze the specifics of the agencies controlling political corruption and assess the outcomes of their operations in the scope of the mandate. We will discuss the problems that remain a challenge based on the legislation applicable today and are a bar to the process of developing a more effective and result-oriented anti-corruption system.

Published: October 2023

The study examined the economic determinants of food import in Nigeria. It used secondary data which were drawn from various sources including Food and Agriculture Statistical Facts, Central Bank of Nigeria Statistical Bulletin, and World Hunger Index. The data spanned between 1981 and 2021. Descriptive and econometric (Autoregressive Distributed Lag) methods were employed for data analysis. Findings showed that in Nigeria, exchange rate and domestic food production significantly affected food imports. Production of domestic agricultural inputs should, therefore, be encouraged through appropriate technology development. An increase in quality domestic agricultural inputs will bring about a decrease in the importation of agricultural inputs, thus reducing the influence of the exchange rate on agricultural production. Intensification of agriculture, therefore, should be encouraged more at the three levels of government through adequate and sustained support to farmers especially in the rural areas. This will increase domestic food production and will discourage food import.

Impact conflict social in a conservation area is generally more significant in the islands minor because competition limits space and resources. Objective study This is a complete stakeholder analysis of the interests (stakeholders) involved in the utilization of land and resources in nature. Data used in studies mapping conflict social This consists of two types, namely qualitative data related to the existence of the stakeholder's interests and spatial data. Qualitative data obtained from studies literature results in research, observation field, and interviews deep with the critical actor (key actor). At the same time, spatial data is an Island LULC Kaledupa 2016 (result in classification guided Landsat 8 imagery OLI), and derived MSP from map topography island (result in SRTM data analysis). Utilization stakeholder resource nature and management area on the Island Kaledupa shared into five categories: authority manager area conservation, Institution Central Government (Ministry of Maritime Affairs and Fisheries), government area Wakatobi, social economy local, and nongovernmental organizations. Mapping conflict utilization resource nature and management area on the Island Kaledupa is beneficial in formulating input consensus policy among all stakeholders.

Published: October 2023

Betel leaf is popularly known as “paan’’ in Bangladesh. As income and livelihood are greatly impacted by the different production practices, the goal of this study was to determine betel leaf farming's impact on livelihood and income generation in some areas of the Rajshahi district of Bangladesh. A total of 108 farmers were randomly selected from three Upazilas (Bagmara, Durgapur, and Mohanpur Upazila) of the Rajshahi district using a multistage sampling technique. Primary data were collected through a face-to-face survey during the month of December 2021. The CARE livelihood approach was carried out to determine the impact of betel leaf farming on livelihood. To better understand the livelihood and income status of the respondent, Focus Group Discussion (FGD) and different observation techniques were employed. The results of the study showed that as a cash crop, the continual production of betel leaves throughout the year ensures a minimum level of return to most of the farmers, and a large group of people directly earned their livelihood through it. In addition, it was revealed that about 77% of the farmers thought that they had a better living standard due to the betel leaf production though 17% were of the opinion that there were no changes in their living standard. Inadequate capital, market risks, production risks, institutional risks, human risks, and financial risks were the main problems and constraints of betel leaf farming in the study area. Finally based on the results, significant policy recommendations were given regarding betel leaf farming in Bangladesh.

ImportanceImmune-mediated inflammatory diseases (IMIDs) and COVID-19 are independently associated with venous thromboembolisms (VTEs).ObjectiveTo determine if individuals with IMIDs are at higher risk of VTE following COVID-19 infection compared with individuals without IMIDs.Design, Setting, and ParticipantsPopulation-based matched cohort study using multiple deterministically linked health administrative databases from Ontario, Canada, and including patients testing positive for COVID-19 between January 1, 2020, and December 30, 2021, and followed up until March 31, 2022. Individuals with IMIDs (n = 28 440) who tested positive for COVID-19 were matched with up to 5 individuals without an IMID (n = 126 437) who tested positive for COVID-19. Matching was based on year of birth, sex, neighborhood income, and rural/urban residence. Data analysis was performed from August 6, 2022, to August 21, 2023.ExposureDiagnosis of an IMID, identified using algorithms based on diagnostic codes, procedures, and specialist visits.Main Outcome and MeasureThe main outcome was estimated age- and sex-standardized incidence of VTE. Proportional cause-specific hazard models compared the risk of VTE in people with and without IMIDs. Death was a competing risk. Models adjusted for history of VTE, 2 or more doses of a COVID-19 vaccine 14 or more days prior to COVID-19 diagnosis, and the Charlson Comorbidity Index. Routinely collected health data were used, so the hypothesis tested was formulated after data collection but prior to being granted access to data.ResultsThe study included 28 440 individuals (16 741 [58.9%] female; 11 699 [41.1%] male) with an IMID diagnosed prior to first COVID-19 diagnosis, with a mean (SD) age of 52.1 (18.8) years at COVID-19 diagnosis. These individuals were matched to 126 437 controls without IMIDs. The incidence of VTE within 6 months of COVID-19 diagnosis among 28 440 individuals with an IMID was 2.64 (95% CI, 2.23-3.10) per 100 000 person-days compared with 2.18 (95% CI, 1.99-2.38) per 100 000 person-days among 126 437 matched individuals without IMIDs. The VTE risk was not statistically significantly different among those with vs without IMIDs (adjusted hazard ratio, 1.12; 95% CI, 0.95-1.32).Conclusions and RelevanceIn this retrospective population-based cohort study of individuals with IMIDs following COVID-19, individuals with IMIDs did not have a higher risk of VTE compared with individuals without an IMID. These data provide reassurance to clinicians caring for individuals with IMIDs and COVID-19.

Published: October 2023

AbstractConstructing crystalline covalent organic frameworks (COF) robust 3D reusable macroscopic objects exposing more adsorption sites with high water flux for use as a filter is an unresolved challenge. A simple scalable procedure is shown for making a robust, highly compressible 3D crystalline COF nanowire interconnected porous open‐cell sponge. The compressive strength and Young's modulus (80% strain) of the sponge are 175 and 238 kPa, respectively. The sponge can withstand multiple compression‐release cycles and a load of 2800 times its weight without collapsing. As an exemplary application, the use of a COF sponge in the selective removal and separation of cationic model dye from a mixture of dyes in water by adsorption and filtration with >99% efficiency is shown. Depending on the dye concentration, the dye removal time can be as short as 2 min, and dye adsorption efficiency can be as high as 653 mg g−1 (COF in the sponge). During filtration, the sponges as filters show a high water flux of 2355 L h−1 m−2 under ambient conditions and maintain their performance for many cycles. The lightweight, reusability, and efficiency make present sponges sustainable materials as adsorbents and filters.

AbstractMany of the peculiar properties of the vasculature are related to the arrangement of anisotropic proteinaceous fibers in vessel walls. Understanding and imitating these arrangements can potentially lead to new therapies for cardiovascular diseases. These can be pre‐surgical planning, for which patient‐specific ex vivo anatomical models for endograft testing are of interest. Alternatively, therapies can be based on tissue engineering, for which degradable in vitro cell growth substrates are used to culture replacement parts. In both cases, materials are desirable that imitate the biophysical properties of vessels, including their tubular shapes and compliance. This work contributes to these demands by offering methods for the manufacturing of anisotropic 3D‐printed nanofibrous tubular structures that have similar biophysical properties as porcine aortae, that are biocompatible, and that allow for controlled nutrient diffusion. Tubes of various sizes with axial, radial, or alternating nanofiber orientation along the blood flow direction are manufactured by a customized method. Blood pressure‐resistant, compliant, stable, and cell culture‐compatible structures are obtained, that can be degraded in vitro on demand. It is suggested that these healthcare materials can contribute to the next generation of cardiovascular therapies of ex vivo pre‐surgical planning or in vitro cell culture.

ObjectiveAtrial fibrillation (AF) detected after insular stroke might arise from autonomic and inflammatory mechanisms triggered by insular damage, and be associated with a low embolic risk. We assessed the association of the timing of AF detection and insular involvement with the risk of embolic events after acute ischemic stroke.MethodsAcute ischemic stroke patients with AF who underwent brain magnetic resonance imaging at baseline were enrolled. Patients were classified according to the timing of AF detection (AF detected after stroke [AFDAS] or known AF [KAF]) and insular involvement. The primary outcome was embolic events defined as recurrent ischemic stroke, transient ischemic attack, and systemic embolism within 90 days.ResultsOf 1,548 patients, 360 had AFDAS with insular cortex lesions (+I), 409 had AFDAS without insular cortex lesions (−I), 349 had KAF+I, and 430 had KAF−I. Cumulative incidence rates of embolic events at 90 days in patients with AFDAS+I, AFDAS−I, KAF+I, and KAF−I were 0.8%, 3.5%, 4.9%, and 3.3%, respectively. Patients with AFDAS−I (adjusted hazard ratio 5.04, 95% confidence interval 1.43–17.75), KAF+I (6.18, 1.78–21.46), and KAF−I (5.26, 1.48–18.69) had a significantly higher risk of embolic events than those with AFDAS+I.InterpretationAcute ischemic stroke patients with AFDAS and insular cortex lesions had a lower risk of embolic events than those who had AFDAS without insular cortex lesions or those with KAF, regardless of insular involvement.

Stabilization of Guest Molecules inside Cation‐Lidded Cucurbiturils Reveals that Hydration of Receptor Sites Can Impede Binding
Authors: He Suhang , Huang Bing , Xiao Bohuai , Chang Shuai , Podalko Marina , Nau Werner M. 
Published: October 2023

AbstractDocking of alkali metal ions to water‐soluble macrocyclic receptors generally reduces the affinity of guest molecules due to competitive binding. The idea that solvation water molecules could display a larger steric hindrance towards guest binding than cations has not been considered to date. We show that the docking of large cations to cucurbit[5]uril (CB5) unexpectedly increases (by a factor of 5–8) the binding of hydrophobic guests, methane and ethane. This is due to the removal of water molecules from the carbonyl portals of CB5 during cation binding, which frees up space for hydrophobe encapsulation. In contrast, smaller cations like sodium protrude deeply into the cavity of CB5 and cause the expected decrease in binding, such that the rational selection of alkali cations allows for a variation of up to a factor of 20 in binding of methane and ethane. The statistical analysis of crystallographic data shows that the cavity volume of CB5 can be enlarged by placing large alkali ions (Rb+ and Cs+) centro‐symmetrically at the portals. The results reveal a hitherto elusive steric hindrance of solvation water molecules near receptor binding sites, which is pertinent for the design of supramolecular catalysts and the understanding of biological receptors.

AbstractThe solvation structure of Li+ plays a significant role in determining the physicochemical properties of electrolytes. However, to date, there is still no clear definition of the solvating power of different electrolyte solvents, and even the solvents that preferentially participate in the solvation structure remain controversial. In this study, we comprehensively discuss the solvating power and solvation process of Li+ ions using both experimental characterizations and theoretical calculations. Our findings reveal that the solvating power is dependent on the strength of the Li+‐solvent (ion‐dipole) interaction. Additionally, we uncover that the anions tend to enter the solvation sheath in most electrolyte systems through Li+‐anion (ion‐ion) interaction, which is weakened by the shielding effect of solvents. The competition between the Li+‐solvent and Li+‐anion interactions ultimately determines the final solvation structures. This insight into the fundamental understanding of the solvation structure of Li+ provides inspiration for the design of multifunctional mixed‐solvent electrolytes for advanced batteries.
