Gambling in Spain: the need for a geographical perspective by Arsenio Villar Lama, David Fiedor, Miguel García Martín, Miloslav Šerý

“…A variety of statistical and legal sources are treated to establish three levels of analysis: first, the position of games of chance and gambling in Spain in the international context; second, location patterns in Spain at the regional level, and third, the spatial aspects of the different legal norms at the autonomous community level. To conclude, games of chance and gambling are a deep-rooted form of recreation in Spain and offer interesting lines of geographical research, although it would be desirable for the quality, variety, and accessibility of data to be improved. …”

Prmt5 is essential for intestinal stem cell maintenance and homeostasis by Li Yang, Xuewen Li, Chenyi Shi, Bing Zhao

“…Mechanistically, Prmt5 sustains a high level of H3K27ac accumulation by inhibiting Hdac9 expression in the intestinal epithelium, and maintains the stemness of ISCs in a cell-autonomous manner. Notably, inhibition of histone deacetylases can rescue both self‐renewal and differentiation capacities of Prmt5‐depleted ISCs. …”

Evolution, Characteristics and Inspirations of Management Zoning for National Parks in the United States by Zhenwei ZHANG, Hanyue XIAO, Yankang MAO

“…Additionally, the research uses the comparative method, institutional analysis method, and logical analysis method to analyze the features and characteristics of each historical stage.ResultsThe management zoning for national parks in the United States can be divided into five historical stages: Two-zone model, six-zone model, four-zone model, autonomous model, and no-zoning model. The development of the zoning system for national park management in the United States has a history of more than 80 years, which has experienced the goal shifting from “utilization − function” to “protection − control”, the concept shifting from “zoning by potentially conflicting human activities” to “multi-level zoning system based on management objectives”, and the form evolution from “unified formulation” to “decentralized autonomous formulation”. …”
