Potato plants are often subjected to heat stress during growth and development, resulting in loss of yield and quality. However, the possibility exists that commercially important genotypes show tolerance to heat stress. In this study, we aim to investigate the morphological and physiological effects of moderate conditions of heat stress on tuberization in nine potato genotypes, and how it affects propagation using an ex vitro and in vitro system. The plant material came from the In Vitro Germplasm Bank of the International Potato Center (CIP). The incubation temperatures of the cultures in in vitro and ex vitro conditions were the ambient in the laboratory and greenhouse, respectively. In in vitro system a randomized complete block design was employed in nine genotypes, two treatments: multiplication culture medium and the same culture medium supplemented with 8.0% sucrose and 500 mg/L-1 CCC, six flasks and five explants per experimental unit. Among all genotypes evaluated, Leona and Liberteña did not form tubers under ex vitro treatment conditions. Under in vitro conditions, Amarilis, Capiro, Perricholi and Tacna showed no evidence of tuberization, and Canchán was the only genotype where 100% formation of tuberous structures were produced in all evaluations. The findings concluded in this study showed that of all the potatoes evaluated, Canchán best responded to the evaluations under both in ex vitro and in vitro conditions, at maximum temperatures between 22.4 to 26.9 and 27.0 to 28.2 oC, respectively. Therefore, it is vitally important to consider its development potential in different producing locations around the world, which are directly and indirectly affected by climate change.

Authors: Safavi-Mirmahaleh Seyede Khadije , Moradi-Shoeili Zeinab , Rassa Mehdi
Published: March 2024

Organic–inorganic hybrid bioactive nanomaterials were sonochemically synthesized by covalent anchoring of 2-acetylpyridine thiosemicarbazone on the surface of CuO nanoparticles using two different approaches. The prepared nanoparticles were characterized by a combination of physico-chemical and spectroscopic techniques. The synergetic bactericidal activity of CuO and thiosemicarbazone moieties in prepared nanomaterials was tested in vitro using the zone inhibition methods against Gram positive and Gram negative bacterial strains. Additionally, the minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) and minimal bactericidal concentration (MBC) were also determined. Results prove that CuO and functionalized CuO nanoparticles synthesized by the sonochemical method in present study show improved antibacterial activities and they could be used in the design of more efficient antibacterial materials for pharmaceutical applications.

Authors: Mali Audumbar , Bhanwase Anil
Published: March 2024

The treatment of gliomas remains difficult task. Carmustine is a drug that is used in the treatment of gliomas. Flexible liposomes embedded in situ thermoreversible nasal gel preparations of Carmustine were studied for in vitro carmustine release, ex vivo carmustine permeation and carmustine release kinetics. The epithelial layers of nasal tissue were found to be intact and undamaged during histological analysis. Intranasal administration of optimized flexible liposomes embedded in a nasal gel showed higher Cmax (Approximately two-fold), AUC0→t (Approximately three-fold), AUC0→∞ (Approximately six-fold), and lower Tmax (1 h) in the brain, compared to intravenous injection of carmustine. The present study demonstrates that the flexible liposome embedded thermoreversible in situ intranasal gel of carmustine improved the targeted uptake of carmustine in the brain through the nasal delivery system and could be a reliable and effective delivery system for carmustine in the treatment of gliomas.

South African Media and Politics: Is the Three Models Approach Still Valid After Two Decades?
Authors: Jones Bernadine , Hadland Adrian
Published: March 2024

When Hallin and Mancini (2004) produced their watershed three models theory, South Africa was a new democracy barely a decade old. Even then, along with other countries of the Global South, the experience of a young democracy posed certain critical challenges to Hallin and Mancini’s understanding of the way that media and politics interrelate. Two decades later, South Africa has continued to change. There has been increased diversity in media ownership, rapid growth in community and social media, digital disruption, and significant challenges to media freedom. How does the three models theory stack up now? This article reviews scholarly critiques of Hallin and Mancini’s model, including their follow-up work, Comparing Media Systems Beyond the Western World (2012), and assesses to what extent the three models is still a valid approach to understanding the connection between media and politics in the Global South. The article concludes by evaluating Hadland’s (2012) Africanisation of the model in light of the complex postcolonial trajectories of South Africa, suggesting that this, along with Hallin et al.’s (2021) expanded hybridisation model, still offers a better set of variables with which to understand how the media and political systems intertwine in the postcolony.

Published: March 2024

The article presents the results of the development of technology for isolating essential oil from the buds of Populus balsamifera L. and a medicinal substance based on it. For the first time, a technology has been developed for the quantitative isolation of essential oil from the buds of Populus balsamifera L. by the barothermal method at a temperature of 140 ºC, under a vacuum of 1333‒2000 Pa. The main components of the essential oil of Populus balsamifera L. buds, isolated by the barothermal method, were determined to be α-bisabolol, β-eudesmol, and 2-phenylethyl-2-methylbutanoate. A technological scheme for the production of essential oil substance from Populus balsamifera L. buds has been developed, including 2 stages of the main technological process and 2 stages of auxiliary work, and its pilot industrial regulations. The control points during the isolation and preparative production of the essential oil substance from the Populus balsamifera L. buds are the major components α-bisabolol and β-eudesmol. The main critical points in the production of a substance based on the essential oil of Populus balsamifera L. buds are pressure, temperature, and duration of isolation. The stages of production of the substance are controlled using a standard sample of α-bisabolol (1). A quantitative determination of 108 components of essential oil from Populus balsamifera L. buds was carried out, as well as standardization for organoleptic properties and major components. A comparative analysis of essential oil from Populus balsamifera L. buds collected in the vicinity of Karaganda and the North Kazakhstan region was carried out. A substance based on essential oil from Populus balsamifera L. buds has antimicrobial, wound-healing, and antitumor activities with relatively low toxicity.

Published: March 2024

A nutrient medium was selected for the efficient production of exopolysaccharide (EPS) by A. pullulans C7 strain. The production of pullulan polysaccharide was evaluated on nutrient media with traditional carbon sources and cheap substrates that were plant wastes. For maximum EPS accumulation, we proposed an optimized Czapek-Dox medium with glucose as a carbon source, sodium nitrate as a nitrogen source, and C/N=232:1 ratio (EPS yield 12.79±0.64 g/l). Medium with grape pomace 5% (EPS yield was 15.08±0.34 g/l) and medium with topinambour tuber hydrolysate 5% (EPS yield was 14.44±0.21 g/l) was proposed as a cheap substrate. Edible films with antimicrobial activity were obtained on the basis of the isolated polysaccharide. The antibacterial activity of films against Escherichia coli 603 and Staphylococcus aureus ST228 was shown when essential oils of rosemary (zones of growth inhibition from 8.41±0.71 to 9.98±0.32 mm) and oregano (zones of growth inhibition from 8.09±0.51 to 9.54±0.24 mm) were added to pullulan. The addition of xanthan gum and glycerol to the films increased their strength and elasticity. The infrared spectrum of the pullulan film showed absorption bands characteristic of polysaccharide structures.
Анализ места государственной пошлины в арбитражном и гражданском судопроизводстве
Authors: Петросян В.А.
Published: March 2024

Статья посвящена анализу некоторых актуальных вопросов государственной пошлины как судебной издержки в арбитражном и гражданском процессах. Институт государственной пошлины непосредственно влияет на возможность реализации лицом права на обращение в государственные органы, органы местного самоуправления, иные органы и (или) к должностным лицам и может рассматриваться в принципе как установленное законодательством ограничение доступности некоторых юридически значимых действий. Вместе с тем, если размер государственной пошлины является разумным, то приведенный институт можно рассматривать как своеобразный «фильтр», удерживающий от необоснованного обращения в государственные органы, органы местного самоуправления, иные органы и (или) к должностным лицам.

An Explanatory Model to Predict Pediatric Psychosis Spectrum Based on Parent Psychiatric Profile and Children and Adolescents Comorbid Disorders as a Mediator Construct
Authors: Mohammadi Mohammad Reza , Ahmadi Ameneh , Karimi Reza , Hooshyari Zahra
Published: March 2024

Objective: Psychosis is one of the most vital disorders in children and youths. The definite pathophysiology of schizophrenia and other psychotic disorders in the growth period has remained ambiguous. Therefore, the purpose of the current study was to investigate the predictive value of parental psychiatric disorders and the mediator role of comorbid disorders of children and youths.
Method: The sample, consisting of 29884 individuals aged between 6 to 18 years old from the Iranian population, were selected by multistage cluster sampling during September 22, 2016 to January 3, 2018. Parents were requested to complete a survey around their potential psychiatric disorders, based on their Millon’s Clinical Multiaxial Inventory-III (MCMI-III). The Semi-Structured Interview (Kiddie-SADS-Present, Lifetime Form (K-SADS-PL)) was utilized to analyze psychiatric disorders concurring to the DSM.
Results: The fit indices of the model show that the research model has a good fit and the psychiatric disorders of parents directly and indirectly through comorbid disorders are effective on the psychosis symptoms of children and adolescents (RMSEA=0.06, CFI=0.89, PGFI=0.75, PNFI=0.75).The incidence of Schizotypal Personality Disorder, Anxiety, Bipolar Spectrum Disorder, PTSD, Schizophrenia Spectrum and Delusional Disorder were statistically higher in parents of psychotic children and adolescents. However, Borderline Personality Disorder was more frequent among their mothers while Alcohol Dependency and Drug Dependency were significantly more prevalent among their fathers.
Conclusion: The outcomes of our study showed that there were statistically significant differences between the mean scores of each scale assessed by Millon’s inventory between parents of psychotic versus non-psychotic pediatric cases. In addition, psychiatric disorders were more common among children and youths with psychosis spectrum in comparison with the general population.
New Design PdNi Heterogeneous Nanocatalysts for the Direct Synthesis of Hydrogen Peroxide
Authors: Huynh Tan-Thanh , Tran Anh Tuan Thi , Nugraha Mawan
Published: March 2024

Hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) is a widely used chemical as an eco-friendly oxidizing agent, with water being the only byproduct of oxidation in applications like bleaching pulp and paper, making electronic semiconductors, chemical and detergent synthesis, and wastewater treatment. The direct synthesis approach is preferred to provide the environmentally friendly production of H2O2 for market requirements. Bimetallic PdNi nanocatalysts were chosen for this study because of their catalytic activity and the structural characteristics of the material system. First, for the development of order-structured bimetallic PdNi nanocatalysts based on mesoporous carbon template after hydrogen-assisted heat treatment at 750∘C. The transformation of the disordered structure into ordered intermetallically structured PdNi alloys with higher alloying extents was confirmed by X-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS) and high-resolution transition electron microscopy (HR-TEM). Then, to improve the oxygen oxidation reaction, two-electron pathway selectivity was used by TiO2-C as a support-ordered structure material to facilitate strong metal-support interactions. XAS and X-ray photoelectron spectra (XPS) techniques show more clear evidence of metal-support interactions with electron transfer from defects in the TiO2-C support to the ordered alloyed PdNi nanocatalysts, resulting in record productivity and selectivity of H2O2 production at ambient conditions. The results demonstrated in this study will enlighten a reliable design of new heterogeneous nanocatalysts with ordered structure. Electron transfer between hybrid support and active sites can clarify the catalytic behavior and prompt further research during the direct synthesis of hydrogen peroxide.

Published: March 2024

This study aims to examine how challenges arise in the development of ecotourism areas from a transportation perspective on the enforcement of creative industries. This study was driven by the transportation needs of island communities and tourists to utilize creative industries with the spirit of sustainable ecotourism. Creative industry and sustainable ecotourism are Indonesia’s development priorities through the Ministry of Tourism and Creative Economy. Qualitative research and a literature review were used in this study. The Karimun Jawa Islands Ecotourism Development was chosen because it is a conservation area and a creative industry market. Challenges from the transportation perspective provided by the government and third parties pay little attention to sea transportation routes that pass through conservation areas, namely the Panjang Island Conservation Area Line and Karimun Jawa National Park. There is indeed a sea route provided but several obstacles arise when passing through the conservation area. Second, if transportation is not handled it will have an impact on weakening the creative industry. Finally, the construction of new transportation routes is a solution to support sustainable ecotourism, besides that this new transportation route will have a positive impact on enforcing the creative industry.

Sensory Attributes and Phytochemical Composition in Microgreens: Implications for Acceptability Among School Students in Selangor, Malaysia
Authors: Efzueni Rozali Shahril , Raihan Abd. Rahim Nur
Published: March 2024

Abstract. Microgreens, the young seedlings of edible plants, have gained attention for their potential health benefits and culinary applications. This newly emerging functional food crop has the potential to sustainably diversify global food systems, facilitate urbanization and climate change responses, and advance human health. However, their reception among school students remains an understudied area, particularly in the Malaysian context. In this study, five microgreens species including ulam raja, red amaranth, red radish, daikon, and corn were evaluated for their sensory perception and acceptability among secondary school students in Selangor, and their phytochemical compositions. Among the evaluated species, corn exhibited the highest intensity of sweetness, ulam raja demonstrated a strong aroma and bitterness, while red radish was notable for its astringency and heat. Red amaranth had the highest intensity of grassy taste, and all five microgreens had a low score for sourness. Corn had the highest rating on acceptability of flavor and overall eating quality, signifying its favorable impression among students. Conversely, red radish and ulam raja received the lowest acceptability scores in both categories. The highest total phenolic and flavonoid content and antioxidant activity was exhibited in ulam raja. These findings suggest the potential to leverage corn’s favorable acceptability to introduce microgreens into student diets. In general, this study highlights the correlation between sensory attributes and phytochemical composition, both influencing the Malaysian students’ perceptions of microgreens. By understanding their preferences, educators, policymakers, and entrepreneurs can formulate effective strategies for healthier eating habits among the youth and develop successful commercialization strategies.

Kersen jam is a healthy food alternative produced from underused crop of Indonesia. However, the calorie content of it still considerably high. The aim of this research was to analyze proximate characteristic and acceptance of new formulated Kersen jam substituted with stevia extract. Kersen Jam was made using heating and stirring method. Total sugar and reducing sugar were analysed using titrimetric method. Moisture content and total fat was analyzed using gravimetric method. Fat content was analyzed using Soxhlet method, while protein content was analyzed using Kjeldahl method. Total calories were analyzed using calculation method. Sensory analysis was conducted on 25 semi-trained panellists using level 5 Likert chart. Substitution of sugar with stevia extract significantly increased the total sugar while significantly reducing sugar content of jam. The substitution did not significantly change moisture and total ash. Total fat, total protein, carbohydrates, and calories were significantly increased by the substitution. No coliform was found during observation. The substitution significantly reduced the acceptance of Kersen Jam from 4.13 to 3.63 from 5 level Likert chart. Substitution of stevia extract to homemade Kersen Jam affected the proximate and sensory characteristic of the product.

Published: March 2024

In this work, we have implemented an eco-friendly method for synthesis of zinc oxide nanoparticles (ZnO NPs) using potato extracts (Solanum tuberosum) as the natural bio-reductants and stabilizing agent. Meanwhile the zinc nitrate octahydrate (Zn[NO3] 2.6H2O) and ammonium hydroxide (NH4OH) were used as the precursor of ZnO NPs. The sediment of Zn(OH)2 was separated from the solvent using centrifuge, and further calcinated at the temperature of 500ºC so that formed ZnO nanoparticles. SEM micrograph of ZnO NPs shows the hexagonal shapes with particles size around 50–100 nm. The XRD spectra confirms that ZnO NPs exhibited well crystalline nature, however, there were impurity peaks caused by the potato extracts addition. From the FTIR analysis, we obtained the existence of another chemical compounds, denoting the presence of stabilizing and reducing agent from potato extract.
