Abstract

Background: Globally, political power, economic systems, and cultural identities are all being shaped by the transformative forces of globalization. Striking a balance between global integration and the preservation of sovereignty, Islamic values, and cultural heritage is a daunting task for countries with Muslim-majority populations.Objectives: The objective of this research is to critically analyze the ways in which globalization affects the political, economic, and cultural aspects of Muslim states and to pinpoint tactical avenues for participation that is both flexible and grounded in values.Methods: Using a thorough analysis of current academic literature, policy documents, and institutional reports, the study takes a qualitative, conceptual approach. Globalization Theory, World-Systems Theory, and Political Islam are integrated into a multifaceted analytical framework that directs the analysis.Results: The results show that Muslim governments actively participate in global networks and are not merely passive consumers of globalization. In terms of politics, they negotiate sovereignty within global governance frameworks; in terms of the economy, they are structurally dependent but exhibit innovation through the halal and Islamic finance sectors; and in terms of culture, they manage conflicts between Islamic identity and global influences by using hybrid and adaptive tactics. The primary contribution of the paper is an integrated analytical model that connects ideological and policy responses in the Muslim world with structural limitations.Conclusion: Adaptive governance, economic diversity, and culturally sensitive policymaking are necessary for effective engagement with globalization. By utilizing their normative frameworks, Muslim governments can improve their standing internationally while preserving their strategic independence.

Abstract

The COVID-19 pandemic, caused by SARS-CoV-2, has emerged as a global health crisis, with severe disease and mortality disproportionately affecting individuals with comorbidities such as cardiovascular disease, diabetes, obesity, and immunosuppression. These conditions are associated with elevated basal reactive oxygen species (ROS) levels, predisposing patients to oxidative stress, systemic inflammation, endothelial dysfunction, and thrombotic complications. SARS-CoV-2 infection further exacerbates ROS generation via dysregulation of the renin–angiotensin system, NADPH oxidase activation, and immune-mediated neutrophil and macrophage responses, contributing to vascular injury, cytokine storm, and acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). Hypercholesterolemic patients are particularly vulnerable, as oxidized LDL (OxLDL) enhances ROS production, promotes neutrophil extracellular trap formation, and accelerates thrombosis, further compounding COVID-19 severity. COVID-19–associated coagulopathy is characterized by elevated D-dimer, von Willebrand factor, and platelet activation, reflecting systemic hypercoagulability and multiorgan involvement. Therapeutically, targeting oxidative stress represents a promising strategy. Statins exhibit cholesterol-lowering and immunomodulatory effects, potentially reducing thrombotic risk. Nrf2 activators, glutathione, and N-acetylcysteine enhance endogenous antioxidant defenses, mitigate inflammation, and preserve endothelial integrity. Micronutrients such as vitamins C, D, E, and selenium further support redox homeostasis and immune function. Collectively, in this narrative review we have shown that understanding the interplay between oxidative stress, thrombosis, hypercholesterolemia, and immune dysregulation may inform preventive and therapeutic strategies to improve outcomes in high-risk COVID-19 patients. Clinical trials are warranted to validate the efficacy of these interventions.
