Changes in human skin composition due to intrinsic aging: a histologic and morphometric study

Skin represents the main barrier against the external environment, but also plays a role in human relations, as one of the prime determinants of beauty, resulting in a high consumer demand for skincare-related pharmaceutical products. Given the importance of skin aging in both medical and social spheres, the present research aims to characterize microscopic changes in human skin composition due to intrinsic aging (as opposed to aging influenced by external factors) via histological analysis of a photoprotected body region. Samples from 25 autopsies were taken from the periumbilical area and classified into four age groups: group 1 (0–12 years), group 2 (13–25 years), group 3 (26–54 years), and group 4 (≥ 55 years). Different traditional histological (hematoxylin–eosin, Masson’s trichrome, orcein, toluidine, Alcian blue, and Feulgen reaction) and immunohistochemical (CK20, CD1a, Ki67, and CD31) stains were performed. A total of 1879 images photographed with a Leica DM3000 optical microscope were morphometrically analyzed using Image ProPlus 7.0 for further statistical analysis with GraphPad 9.0. Our results showed a reduction in epidermis thickness, interdigitation and mitotic indexes, while melanocyte count was raised. Papillary but not reticular dermis showed increased thickness with aging. Specifically, in the papillary layer mast cells and glycosaminoglycans were expanded, whereas the reticular dermis displayed a diminution in glycosaminoglycans and elastic fibers. Moreover, total cellularity and vascularization of both dermises were diminished with aging. This morphometric analysis of photoprotected areas reveals that intrinsic aging significantly influences human skin composition. This study paves the way for further research into the molecular basis underpinning these alterations, and into potential antiaging strategies.

Building responsible and sustainable supply chain frameworks: limits of international investment law and the CSR initiatives taken by the EU and China

ABSTRACT Supply chains play a pivotal role in global economic relations, fostering growth, employment, and poverty alleviation. Multinational enterprises (MNEs) are central actors in these chains, bearing responsibilities towards workers and the environment. Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) standards guide MNEs in assessing the societal and environmental impacts of their activities, though these standards remain largely voluntary. Recent investment treaty practice shows a trend to incorporate CSR provisions in international investment agreements (IIAs), but such clauses fail to impose direct human rights, labour and environmental obligations on investors. Amidst this landscape, the EU and China, major players in global trade and investment, have established diverging legal and policy frameworks to build responsible and sustainable supply chains. Considering these developments, the objectives of this article are twofold. First, the article explores the integration of CSR in international investment law. Second, it evaluates the different CSR initiatives taken by the EU and China that frame their foreign direct investments. Focusing on EU–China FDI relations, the article delineates implications for global supply chain governance offering insights into the evolving landscape of CSR frameworks, and the plagued path in adopting mandatory corporate responsibility standards.

The study finally recommended the importance of activating the role of Public Relations Department in directing its digital activities towards enhancing the sustainability of institutional excellence in the long term.

The Effect of Hungarian Kin-State Politics on the Economic Life of Transcarpathia, Ukraine: A Snapshot of the Beregszász District between 2017 and 2020

Abstract Due to the frequent changes in ruling powers and shifting borders, in addition to the geopolitical situation of the region, Transcarpathia, the westernmost county of Ukraine, constitutes an especially suitable site for examining transnational ethnic kinship relations. The main aim of the present article is to shed light on the correlation between social-ethnic interactions and economic efficiency, paying special attention to the role of informal and formal ethnic relations in the activities of business actors and in their access to certain resources. The article analyzes how these processes have been influenced by Hungary’s kin-state politics. The research is based mainly on semi-structured interviews conducted with local Transcarpathian Hungarian and Ukrainian entrepreneurs as well as with the representatives of business organizations related to the given community and experts in the field. The investigation found that among Transcarpathian Hungarian entrepreneurs the role of formal ethnic relations has strengthened due to the financial support provided by Hungary, which was not the case for entrepreneurs belonging to the majority population. The extensive assistance by Hungary has given Hungarian entrepreneurs an advantage in accessing resources, which has caused some tension between Hungarian and Ukrainian entrepreneurs in Transcarpathia.

Promoting Peri-urban Agriculture: A Remedy for Climate Change. Case of the Town of Delly Brahim in Algiers

The issue of promoting peri-urban agriculture seems to be an important one in response tothe various current concerns about the future of cities in the face of climate change. At firstsight, these peri-urban agricultural areas, which in the past provided shelter for cities, arenow threatened by urban sprawl and are increasingly losing their function of protectingurban areas from climatic hazards. This question is a priority when considering the future ofagriculture in today's urban sprawl. We are therefore raising a number of concerns linked tomultiple issues: the trampling of green space, agricultural environmental sustainability,territorial impacts and the difficulty of managing rural and urban populations.Around these questions, this research is structured to provide theoretical and practicalknowledge that will enable us to place peri-urban agriculture at the heart of urban concerns,in a perspective of reaction to climate change. The interest of this work is reinforced in thecase of peri-urban areas surrounding the capital of Algiers, such as the commune of DelyBrahim: a concrete example of a territory concerned by the subject. On the one hand, thisperiphery boasts important agricultural production zones in close geographical proximity tothe capital Algiers, and on the other, it plays a fundamental economic, environmental andlandscape role in relation to its region. Between its dense urban residential areas, itsagricultural areas threatened by urban sprawl and its natural areas rich in resources, thisterritory is today confronted with numerous environmental vulnerabilities. The aim istherefore to examine the issue of preserving the agricultural sector and its role in mitigatingclimate change.

Significance of neutrophil to lymphocyte ratio evaluation as a prognostic indicator in dengue patients

Dengue is the most important arthropod borne re-emerging tropical viral infection in human beings resulting in more illness and deaths. Platelet count and hematocrit estimations are the most common parameters to assess the severity of dengue. However, due to the heterogeneous nature of the clinical presentation of dengue patients, it’s difficult to identify sensitive clinical or laboratory predictor to assess dengue severity. Neutrophil - Lymphocyte ratio (NLR) has been proved as a prognostic marker in various diseases and may emerge as a potential predictor for the dengue severity and its prognosis. This study aims to evaluate the NLR in dengue patients and to assess its role in relation with patients clinical and serological profile as well as platelet counts. A retrospective observational study was conducted in which 100 cases (≥12 years of age) of dengue which were diagnosed at our laboratory were studied and their clinical and laboratory data were analysed. Test of significance was done by Chi Square test with consideration of P value ≤ 0.05 as statistically significant. Male predominance was observed with dengue infection. NS1Ag (+) was the most common dengue serological profile. NLR ≤2 significantly correlates with thrombocytopenia. A significant relation was found between NLR and severity of the dengue patients. In conclusion, NLR ≤2 correlates with low platelet count which corresponds to more severity of the dengue disease. NLR >2 indicates more platelet count and less severity of the disease. Hence NLR evaluation can be used as a prognostic indicator in dengue patients.

ANALYSIS OF THE CONCLUSION OF THE PLENUM OF THE CONSTITUTIONAL COURT IN RELATION TO THE VIOLATION OF THE CONSTITUTION BY THE PRESIDENT OF GEORGIA AND INTERNATIONAL PRACTICE

From 2013 until the present, the dispute on the separation of competencies between the leaders of the state government has been ongoing in political life, as well as on an international scale in the field of foreign relations. The field of foreign relations is of national importance and is directly related to the state’s image and foreign policy. The conclusion of the international treaties, as well as the appointment of the ambassadors and representation of the state, has become the subject of dispute at various times. State representation by the President in foreign relations has led to a Constitutional Reference submitted by the Parliament of Georgia to the Constitutional Court of Georgia, alleging a violation of the Constitution by the President for the first time in the country’s history. As a result, according to the conclusion of the Constitutional Court of Georgia dated October 16, 2023, President Ms. Zurabishvili violated the Constitution of Georgia by exercising representation powers without the consent of the Government. Based on the above, this thesis will analyze the meaning of the representation power in foreign relations, the President’s constitutional status, and the President’s role in foreign relations, acting as the socalled “neutral arbitrator”. This thesis will include a discussion on the roles of the Parliament and the Constitutional Court of Georgia in the political-legal process of Presidential impeachment proceedings. It will also examine the conclusions and decisions of Constitutional Courts in various states regarding alleged constitutional violations by Presidents and disputes over competence.

THE ROLE OF PR IN THE FIGHT AGAINST CORRUPTION

The article examines the importance of the role of PR in the fight against corruption, since corruption has a devastating impact on the image of a country, and public relations (PR) is an important tool in countering this phenomenon. The importance of PR's role in public relations is enshrined in the United Nations Convention against Corruption (UNCAC), which recognizes the importance of public awareness and education as a means of combating this phenomenon. Given the dynamic development of media and online platforms and the proliferation of social networks where everyone can quickly share information, a carefully thought-out PR strategy is becoming necessary for political leaders. The ability to communicate effectively helps to resolve crises, reduce conflicts, and create a favorable climate for making the necessary decisions. PR strategies of political authorities are becoming a tool that helps to influence public opinion, providing support for important reforms and programs. The article analyzes various aspects of PR's role in the fight against corruption, including the potential of PR to change cultural perceptions of corruption, and provides examples of youth education campaigns and television commercials to raise public awareness that support this idea. Understanding and implementing modern PR methods is a necessary element in today's world, where information is rapidly changing and public trust is key to the effective functioning of the system. The article's second aspect highlights PR's role in supporting messages about corruption and encouraging citizens to fight it. The third part outlines the role of PR in increasing government support for anti-corruption measures by informing the public about their successes and achievements. The final part of the article discusses the importance of further research on the impact of anti-corruption PR campaigns on public awareness and behavior. It is emphasized that understanding effective PR strategies is the key to the successful fight against corruption and the creation of a responsible society.

The Muslim Friend: Cross-Confessional Male Intimacy in Eighteenth-Century Italy

Abstract In early modern Italy, stereotypes about Muslim men’s supposed inclination towards the vice of ‘sodomy’ gave rise to fears that Christian masculinity was being tainted. Eighteenth-century court records from the Republic of Genoa and the Papal States contain numerous instances of cross-confessional male relations that faced persecution by state authorities. In each of these cases, Christian men were prosecuted for taking a sexually ‘passive’ role in relation to sexually ‘active’ Muslims, while the reverse scenario was never pursued. This article argues that the sexual focus of judicial authorities obscured the enduring bonds of affection and mutual obligation that developed between men across religious lines. The existence of these relationships unveils an intimate sphere of connections across faith in the early modern Mediterranean while highlighting an intersectional site of Christian social anxiety, where fears of religious contamination overlapped with concerns about same-sex intimacy.

The correct tibial slope? Comparison of measuring methods

From a biomechanical point of view, the tibial slope plays a significant role in relation to the loading of the ligament structures in the knee joint. Currently, there are various methods of measurement for the tibial slope, which makes it difficult to compare the measurement results obtained. These differences can be decisive factors for the indication and the extent respectively of the correction of the tibial slope. The aim of this work is to present the differences in results between the measurement methods, and to compare these with the posterior tibial slope (PTS). By means of a comparative analysis, six measurement techniques for the tibial slope were examined. Using six parameters (correlation coefficient, range, deviation of the average slope value, correction coefficient, difference in the corrected measurements, range of the corrected measurements), these results were compared with the PTS. In this prospective study, the PTS was measured in 107 (49 male, 58 female, age 42.6 ± 23.4 years) strictly lateral plain radiological projections of the tibia with the talocrural joint in comparison with the measurement methods according to Han, Brazier, Moore and Harvey, Pietrini and LaPrade and a supratuberosity measurement. The posterior slope was observed at a mean value of 6.9° (± 8.6°). Compared with the PTS, tibial slope values were increased in 55.5 % of all measurements examined and decreased in 42.4 %. In 2 % the values were identical to those of PTS. The deviations observed were significant at up to +2.9° (± 1.7°) and -2.3° (± 1.5°) respectively in comparison with the measured PTS (p < 0.001). 25.9 % of the results showed a slope value more than 2°too high and 17.6 % one less than -2° too low. Thus, in 43 % of the results clinically relevant results that were too high or too low were observed for the tibial slope compared with the PTS (p < 0.001). The correlation analyses showed very high linear connections with PTS (p < 0.001) for all methods, from r2 = 0.88 (in Moore and Harvey) up to r2 = 0.98 (in Han). The ranges varied between 13.90° (Moore and Harvey) and 18.30° (Han). Depending on the measurement method, the slope values obtained should be individually evaluated, in order to draw the correct clinical conclusions. In principle, the radiological assessment of the whole lower leg is essential, so that concomitant pathologies in the area of the entire tibia can be detected. In everyday clinical practice, the measurement according to Han etal., and thus a shorter X‑ray projection, makes it possible to draw optimal conclusions about the PTS.

Through Thick and Thin: Gesture and Speech Remain as an Integrated System in Atypical Development

AbstractGesture and speech are tightly linked and form a single system in typical development. In this review, we ask whether and how the role of gesture and relations between speech and gesture vary in atypical development by focusing on two groups of children: those with peri‐ or prenatal unilateral brain injury (children with BI) and preterm born (PT) children. We describe the gestures of children with BI and PT children and the relations between gesture and speech, as well as highlight various cognitive and motor antecedents of the speech‐gesture link observed in these populations. We then examine possible factors contributing to the variability in gesture production of these atypically developing children. Last, we discuss the potential role of seeing others’ gestures, particularly those of parents, in mediating the predictive relationships between early gestures and upcoming changes in speech. We end the review by charting new areas for future research that will help us better understand the robust roles of gestures for typical and atypically‐developing child populations.
