Socio-Political Phenomenon of Changes in Citizenship in Guilan Province in Qajar Era by Mahdi Ebadi, Zoleykha Ghaffari roodsari

“…This necessitated an examination of the actions of the Qajar government and the policies of foreign governments in Guilan Province.Research Findings:The findings of this research indicated that several factors contributed to the change of citizenship among the people of Guilan during the Qajar period:ajar rulers’ behaviors towards the people of Guilan, including imposing heavy taxes and supporting foreigners to purchase real estate in Guilan, despite the prohibition law, which led to disputes and conflicts between the rulers and the provincial authorities of Guilan over land acquisition.The inappropriate behaviors of landowners, who often leased their agricultural lands to foreigners to avoid heavy taxes, which caused problems for the Guilani citizens as the new foreign landowners acted according to their own regulations to maximize profits, disregarding the status of the local population.The all-round support provided by foreign governments to their citizens' illegal activities in Guilan, which strengthened the positions of foreign nationals and weakened the Iranian government's ability to support its own citizens, causing frustration among the local population.The significant presence of foreigners in Guilan, which led to tensions between domestic and foreign nationals over civil, financial, and commercial issues, ultimately resulting in the detriment of the Qajar government and Iranian citizens.The consequences of this phenomenon of citizenship change included the increasing number of foreign nationals in Guilan, stabilization of the positions of foreign countries in the region, and creation of divisions and conflicts among the people of Guilan.Discussion of Results & ConclusionThe findings of this documentary research indicated that during the Qajar era, the economic and political importance of Guilan province provided the basis for a large influx of foreign nationals to the region. …”

Sex-dependent efficacy of sphingosine-1-phosphate receptor agonist FTY720 in mitigating Huntington’s disease by Jingyun Wu, Irene Santos-Garcia, Ivan Eiriz, Thomas Brüning, Aleš Kvasnička, David Friedecký, Tuula A. Nyman, Jens Pahnke

“…An early and significant morphological hallmark of HD is the activation of astrocytes triggered by mutant huntingtin, leading to the release of inflammatory mediators.Fingolimod (FTY), an FDA-approved sphingosine-1-phosphate (S1P) receptor agonist is used to treat multiple sclerosis (MS), a neuroinflammatory disease, and has shown therapeutic promise in other neurological conditions.Our study aimed to investigate the therapeutic potential of FTY for treating HD by utilizing a well-characterized mouse model of HD (zQ175dn) and wild-type littermates.The study design included a crossover, long-term oral treatment with 1 mg/kg to 2 mg/kg FTY from the age of 15–46 weeks (n = 128). Different motor behavior and physiological parameters were assessed throughout the study.The findings revealed that FTY rescued disease-related body weight loss in a sex-dependent manner, indicating its potential to regulate metabolic disturbances and to counteract neurodegenerative processes in HD. …”
