Carbohydrate malabsorption and non-celiac gluten/wheat Sensitivity: The role of probiotic biomodulation
Authors: Romeo Marcello
Published: February 2025

In recent years, cases of food hypersensitivity reactions in the Western population have significantly increased, with over 50% of patients with functional gastrointestinal disorders (FGID) believing that food triggers their symptoms. The main culprits include FODMAPs (Fermentable Oligosaccharides, Disaccharides, Monosaccharides, and Polyols) and specific protein components of wheat, such as gluten and amylase/trypsin inhibitors (ATIs). Gastrointestinal symptoms related to carbohydrate malabsorption stem from two primary mechanisms. First, unabsorbed carbohydrates can feed certain gut bacteria, leading to fermentative dysbiosis and gas production, which causes bloating and abdominal distension. Second, a diet rich in unabsorbed sugars draws water into the intestinal lumen, accelerating transit and resulting in diarrhea.

Adverse reactions to gluten include celiac disease, wheat allergy, and non-celiac gluten/wheat sensitivity (NCGS/WS). The latter triggers both intestinal and extra-intestinal symptoms, which improve upon gluten withdrawal. Recent studies suggest that, in addition to gluten, other wheat components, such as ATIs and FODMAPs, can contribute to symptom exacerbation. NCGS/WS is associated with intestinal dysbiosis and immune alterations. Although a gluten-free diet is currently considered the only available therapeutic strategy, it may negatively impact gut microbiota and the bioavailability of minerals and vitamins.

Recent research suggests the use of strain-specific probiotics to improve fermentative dysbiosis, reducing gas-producing species and enhancing the digestion and absorption of carbohydrates, gluten proteins, and micronutrients. In conclusion, an integrated approach combining a low-FODMAP diet (LFD) with specific probiotics could be an effective strategy for managing carbohydrate malabsorption symptoms in FGID, restoring intestinal homeostasis, and counteracting associated microbial hyperfermentation.
The microbiota's funnel effect: How multiple factors independently converge in changing the microbiota
Authors: Agnoletti Massimo , Fasano Alessio
Published: February 2025

The science of the microbiota, by revealing the complexity of interactions between the world of microorganisms that colonize us and that of human cells, represents the dawn of a new paradigm in biomedical and psychological sciences. It allows for a more complex yet more promising perspective on human health and disease compared to previous approaches. Scientific literature has now identified specific lifestyle-related factors (nutrition, environmental physicalchemical quality, psychological well-being, etc.) that significantly influence the composition of the microbiota. This paper introduces the concept of the "funnel effect" of the microbiota to describe the convergent and partially independent nature of these factors (nutrition, physical activity, psychological well-being, sleep quality, social support, environmental physical-chemical quality, circadian rhythms) on the composition of the intestinal microbiota, thereby impacting the overall health of the human organism. The "funnel effect" of the microbiota has some highly relevant clinical implications, emphasizing the need for an integrated psycho-neuro-endocrineimmunological approach, in contrast to the highly specialized and molecularly focused approach that is currently widely adopted.

Published: February 2025

El presente documento es un trabajo empirico y comparativo
que parte del análisis de los ordenamientos costitucionales y protectores de los derechos humanos en Latinoamerica
a través de un estudio comparativo. El origen de los Estados latinoamericanos es muy diverso y los fenomenos institucionales garantistas han sido sumamente distintos, pero existe una gran heterogeneidad en las caracteristicas de los Estados democraticos en América Latina, donde el papel del Estado es esencial para la resolucion de las necesidades
sociales; es innegable que el constitucionalismo latinoamericano como vehículo para la protección de derechos humanos tiene distintas etapas pero para un autor en particular poseen tres características inamovibles que describen este proceso: “la heterogeneidad, la no originalidad y la peculiaridad” (Belaunde, 2003).

Circular Economy in EU 27 Agribusiness. Operational Factors of Integrability
Authors: Antal Sándor , Vincze Judit
Published: February 2025

Recent global events are increasingly highlighting the need to review and renew the current social and economic system of the European Union. Although the economic crisis of 2008 was followed by a significant boom, the way out of the shock caused by the social, political and economic events of the 2020s is not yet in sight. Despite the fact that the European Union has the strategic goals necessary for this, the development and implementation of tactical and operational plans still await. However, this delay - according to empirical experience - causes serious disturbances and damages both in agriculture and in the entire value chains based on agricultural production, in agribusiness.
In relation to the change in social and economic policy approach and renewal, the question arises as to how ready the EU - as a community - is to eliminate the linear economic model and to adapt the circular economy to agribusiness. Another important dilemma is the extent to which the member countries that joined in 2004 managed to catch up, which is a basic condition for the integration of the circular economic model into agribusiness. Taking into account the role of agribusiness in the community of the European Union, as well as the set economic goals of the community, the connection of the circular economic model and agribusiness, which fundamentally determines national economies, and the acceleration of this process cannot be postponed any longer.
In connection with the above, our study explores the fundamental factors that, as indicators, indicate the preparedness and shortcomings of the European Union in the field of implementing the circular economy. At the macro- and micro-economic level, we analyzed the components whose development either indirectly or directly affects agribusiness. Within this, we examined the evolution of emissions, energy consumption, waste production, and the correlations between them. With reference to agribusiness, we examined the results of agricultural production, the situation of food processing, and the development of the food foreign trade balance.
Based on our results, a European Union with a different economic system with respect to the member countries is revealed. In this heterogeneous economic environment, the transition of agribusiness to a circular economy raises countless questions. The first dilemma that arises is whether it is possible to approach the success and progress of this process with GDP as an output-based indicator in the aspect of the economic spatial structure of the European Union.
Is Azerbaijan Really Interested In The Implementation Of Renewable Energy?
Authors: Mammadli Sabuhi , Bayramov Tofig
Published: February 2025

Azerbaijan's energy policy has historically prioritized the development of non-renewable resources, particularly oil and gas, which have been central to the country's economic growth and energy security. The "contract of the century" signed in 1994 catalyzed significant foreign investment, transforming Azerbaijan into a major global energy supplier. This policy focus led to substantial increases in oil and gas production, with proven reserves of approximately 7 billion barrels of oil and 30 trillion cubic feet of natural gas. Despite this, the government has initiated policies to enhance renewable energy contributions, aiming to diversify the energy mix and improve sustainability. Renewable energy's share peaked at 3.1% in 2010 but declined to 1.7% by 2022 due to variability in hydroelectric power. Azerbaijan has considerable potential in wind (3,000 mw) and solar energy (23,040 mw), yet financial constraints, including high-interest rates, have hindered investment. The state budget remains the primary funding source for renewable projects, with us$579.1 million allocated from 2010 to 2022. The government is now actively seeking to attract investment and implement policies to accelerate renewable energy development, aiming to reduce reliance on fossil fuels and promote sustainable energy practices, meanwhile they also continue heavily invest in oil ang gas industry and increase economic cooperation with EU.
The Evolving Landscape of Sustainability in the Hotel Industry: New Approaches and Their Success
Authors: Sikó Botond
Published: February 2025

Due to the growing importance of environmental protection, the countries of the world are striving to formulate regulations that protect the Planet, and these directly affect and apply to various businesses as well. In addition to these regulations, many large companies have recognized the importance of sustainability. On the one hand, large companies can achieve greater results with their efforts in a given time, and on the other hand, in parallel with the global spread of the idea, the purchase of sustainable products, the use of such services, and the preference of companies that take this into account are becoming more and more important for customers and buyers. Slowly but surely, sustainability is gaining strength in tourism and hospitality as well. In addition to environmental protection, waste management and reduction, energy saving and efficiency, and the reduction of harmful emissions are all increasingly important. All this, besides of protecting the environment, helps to reduce the energy costs and other expenses of companies after the implementation of the necessary investments. The aspirations appear, for example, in hotels ("green hotel"), restaurants and other areas of tourism. For companies, sustainable operation not only achieves the goals and results mentioned but also serves as a great marketing opportunity. Consciously planned and properly advertised, their activities can gain a competitive advantage and they can use their sustainability efforts as a strong attraction.The methodology includes two primary data collection methods, which are an interview with a hotel general manager and a questionnaire research done on the web with 129 participants.With the current research the author aims to provide information on Hungarian hotels’ sustainability efforts, their possibilities, achievements and further, still untapped potentials. The research includes an analysis of the institutional background, such as the Green Hotel award, the marketing value of such efforts, and the professional attitude towards the topic of sustainability from various actors of the hotel industry. Additional aim of the study is to provide insights into the attitudes of hotel guests towards sustainable tourism and identify the barriers and opportunities for the hotel industry to achieve sustainability. The findings of this research will inform hotel managers and stakeholders about the importance of sustainability in the industry and guide them in developing strategies to meet the growing demand for sustainable tourism.

Covid-19 had its critical effects on each aspect of life, especially on tourism sector. Both domestic and international tourism have suffered from the consequences to confront this pandemic, but the recovery and the adoption was not at the same level. This study aimed to give a closer view of both domestic and international tourism performance regarding covid-19 based on touristic accommodation facilities data of Hungary. The SPSS program was adopted to conduct the necessary statistical analysis, where the paired Student's t test was applied to analyse the data. The P-values of the test were significant for almost all of hypotheses. This study revealed that: (i) Covid had its bad effect on tourism, but it has changed tourists’ preferences; (ii) Domestic tourism had a better performance comparing with the international tourism except the revenue before and after covid era; and (iii) both, domestic and international tourism still need more time to recover and return to the previous situation.
Determinants of Foreign Direct Investment in Vietnam in the Context of Global Integration
Authors: Ngo Duong Minh
Published: February 2025

This study is conducted to find out the determinants of Foreign Direct Investment in Vietnam, especially focusing on the roles of economic growth, financial stability, trade openness, debt, inflation, and impacts of FTAs. We apply a multiple linear regression model and analyze these enablers' impacts on FDI inflows. Further, we try to analyze the impacts that Vietnam's becoming a part of the WTO and different FTAs has, in particular: ASEAN Free Trade Area (AFTA), Vietnam-Japan Economic Partnership Agreement (VJEPA), Vietnam-Korea Free Trade Agreement (VKFTA), and the EU-Vietnam Free Trade Agreement (EVFTA), by using them as the dummies in our model. Moreover, the study outlines the comparison of models with and without the dummy variables in order to have a clearly look at global integration when it comes to attracting FDI. Each dummy variable is also considered both simultaneously and separately, so as to clarify its role. The results highlight that lagged FDI, infrastructure, and natural resources are significant positive factors for FDI, whereas inflation has a negative impact. Trade openness and market size, however, do not show consistent significance. The WTO's significance, particularly in models with FTAs, underscores the importance of global trade norms and reduced trade barriers in attracting FDI.
Effect of Coconut Fiber Content on the Properties of Unfired Building Bricks Incorporating Thermal Power Plant Ashes
Authors: Nguyen Dang Nguyen , Le Thanh-Tam Thi , Ngo Si Huy , Nguyen Van-Dung
Published: February 2025

This study examined the effect of coconut fiber (CF) content on the properties of unfired building bricks (UBBs) using fly ash (FA) and bottom ash (BA) from the Nghi Son coal-fired thermal power plant (CTP). Cement and FA served as binders while BA replaced crushed stone as the fine aggregate. Raw brown CFs were treated with a 5% NaOH solution at 50 °C to increase their mechanical properties. The treated CFs were then cut to a short length of 15 mm and had an average aspect ratio of 103. Brick samples were cast with CF content at ratios of 0%, 3%, 6%, and 9% by binder weight (CF/B) and water-to-binder (W/B) ratios of 0.30 and 0.35. The UBBs were formed under a low pressure of 0.5 MPa and tested to evaluate the effects of CF/B and W/B ratios on brick properties. Results showed that compressive strength (CS) increased with higher CF content, with all samples exceeding 10 MPa after 28 days, classifying them as grade M10 per TCVN 6477:2016. The optimal CF content was 6%, which yielded the highest CS. Increasing CF content reduced unit weight (UW), ultrasonic pulse velocity (UPV), and thermal conductivity (TC), while water absorption (WA) increased. Conversely, a lower W/B ratio improved CS, UW, UPV, and TC, while reducing WA. Microstructural observations revealed that CF acts as a bridge connecting cracks, which helps restrain crack widening and enhance CS.

Authors: Malíková Lucie , Katzer Jacek , Miarka Petr , Al Khazali Mohammad Sami , Seitl Stanislav
Published: February 2025

It has been published in recent research studies that several mechanical properties of mortar reinforced with suitably spatial shaped plastic elements can be improved. Thus, a hexagonal geometric shape was chosen due to its high rigidity for this study. Stress distribution at a bi-material interface between a polymer part reinforcing a mortar specimen and the rest of the mortar part has been investigated to explain fatigue fracture behavior of rectangular specimens tested. A three-point-bending (3PB) test was simulated via a finite element method (FEM) considering several simplifications, and various heights of the polymer reinforcement were modeled to investigate its influence on stress redistribution. For comparison, a pure mortar specimen without any plastic elements was considered the reference. The numerical results obtained are discussed and compared to the experimental ones. Within the experimental campaign, bulk density, static properties and fatigue characteristics were tested, analyzed and discussed. Improvements in flexural strength were observed when the plastic panel was used as reinforcement, which agrees with other scientific works. Directions for future research were identified.

Published: February 2025

Integers are an important topic in mathematics that students must understand well. However, in practice, many students face difficulties in understanding integer operations. One way to address this issue is by using a number line manipulative that employs Dienes' steps. This research is qualitative, with a case study approach. The subjects consisted of three 6th-grade students selected through purposive sampling. The three subjects had varying mathematical abilities: high, medium, and low. The learning activities used six steps of Dienes. The instruments used were observation sheets, interview guidelines, and a test consisting of eight questions related to the addition and subtraction of integers. Data collection techniques followed the Miles and Huberman model, which includes data reduction, data presentation, and drawing conclusions. The results of the study indicate that learning using Dienes' steps with integer manipulatives successfully addressed students' difficulties in performing integer operations, especially in problems involving operations with two adjacent signs.

Among 270 respondents, 75.6% (102/135) of the rural population and 52.6% (71/135) of the urban population were reported for self-medication practice within the past three months. In the rural population, 43.2% of participants’ reason for self-medication was cost saving & convenience, while in the rural population, 45.1% of participants chose convenience and cost saving and convenience. Community pharmacies were the commonplace of procurement of Antipyretic, Analgesic & NSAID drugs for Aches & Pain (Pain) in both populations. Knowledge about dosage, side effects, and safety instructions of the drugs taken for self-medication was poor in both populations. The prevalence of self-medication was found 23% greater in the rural population than in the urban population. Self-medication was strongly associated with factors like the age and income of the participants. Population education on the risks associated with self-medication and stringent regulations should be implemented to restrict the distribution of medications without a legitimate prescription.
Life on the move
Authors:   , Manral Darshika
Published: February 2025

The ocean hosts a vast diversity of life, from microscopic plankton to large marine mammals, with their distribution shaped by environmental factors and species-specific traits. While ocean currents largely determine the passive transport of plankton, some species can regulate their buoyancy or actively migrate, such as diel vertical migrators (DVM). Larger, more mobile species, like fish and marine mammals, navigate their environment with stronger swimming abilities. Understanding how marine species move and interact with their environment is crucial for predicting ecosystem shifts, especially as climate change alters ocean conditions. This thesis investigates how species traits and environmental factors influence the transport and connectivity of marine organisms using Lagrangian flow modeling. Three case studies explore the dispersal of different marine species: vertically migrating zooplankton, thermally constrained plankton, and cold-stunned Kemp’s ridley turtles. The first study (Chapter 2) examines DVM zooplankton in the Benguela upwelling system, comparing their movement to that of floating and sinking materials such as phytoplankton, nutrients, and biogenic matter. Results show that DVM zooplankton separate more rapidly from other materials, especially during the upwelling season. However, coherent ocean features like eddies and filaments trap different particle types together, potentially increasing interactions between zooplankton, their prey, and pollutants. Chapter 3 applies network theory to Lagrangian modeling to assess minimum time connectivity pathways in the Atlantic Ocean. Passive plankton can theoretically connect all Atlantic locations within three years, but connectivity time increases with depth. When thermal constraints are introduced, connectivity across the basin is reduced, emphasizing the role of environmental preferences in species dispersal. Chapter 4 investigates Kemp’s ridley turtle strandings in the Netherlands, using Lagrangian modeling to trace their drift pathways. Findings suggest that juvenile turtles become cold-stunned in the southern North Sea and experience temperatures below 12°C for up to a month. These results highlight the need for targeted rehabilitation and conservation strategies for this critically endangered species. Together, these studies demonstrate that both species traits and environmental constraints shape marine organism dispersal, influencing ecological interactions and habitat connectivity. As climate change alters ocean temperatures and circulation, species distributions will shift, affecting marine food webs and conservation planning. Future research should refine species-specific behavioral models and integrate dispersal with ecosystem dynamics to better inform marine conservation strategies.
Abating Heat Accrual During Exercise in Microgravity and Implications for Future Long-Term Missions

INTRODUCTION: Space agencies will embark on manned journeys to Mars on smaller vehicles than those used previously. In-flight exercise on those flights must abate the adverse effects microgravity (μG) has on humans. Due to space constraints on these vehicles, a single exercise device must address multiple fitness needs. Exercise and μG individually cause body heat accrual. During in-flight exercise they conspire to exacerbate heat gain. Given the duration of Mars missions and volume of exercise they entail, excess heat accrual must be addressed.

METHODS: This review presents data on μG, thermoregulation, and exercise. Since their relationships are impacted by other variables, energy balance, body water, and cerebral and vascular physiology are discussed. Data are integrated to acknowledge the challenges long-term missions, and the in-flight exercise that accompanies them, impose on thermoregulation. Strategies to limit heat accrual are discussed.

RESULTS: Current in-flight exercise and hardware will not address heat accrual mitigation or operational performance needs for Mars missions.

DISCUSSION: This review suggests for future missions, crewmembers: 1) consume beverages with high sodium contents; 2) employ palm cooling for conductive heat transfer; and 3) perform plyometric exercise on gravity-independent hardware. Research should continue to evaluate these treatments to abate heat gain in μG.

Published: February 2025

The impacts of the Coronavirus disease otherwise known as the Covid-19 pandemic on the human race cannot be overemphasised. The outbreak of the Covid-19 pandemic has not only led to a paradigm shift from the old order to a new norm but also increased the deployment of Information and Communication Technology (ICT) to almost all spheres of human endeavour, including the administration of justice and Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) mechanisms. Most of the measures adopted by stakeholders to fight the scourge otherwise referred to as Covid-19, protocols such as social distancing, restriction of movements, restriction of physical gatherings, travel bans and total lockdown among others, stall dispute resolution proceedings thereby affecting access to justice. Hence, Online Dispute Resolution (ODR) was adopted and applied in many jurisdictions to complement, strengthen and serve as an alternative to the conventional litigation and ADR mechanisms during the Covid-19 pandemic. Although ODR existed before the outbreak of the Covid-19 pandemic as a dispute resolution mechanism, it was not as pronounced and widely utilised as it has been during and after the Covid-19 pandemic in Nigeria. This article adopts the doctrinal methodology and the qualitative approach to examine the significance and benefits of ADR and ODR mechanisms in the resolution of disputes, the effects of the Covid-19 pandemic on the world order and the administration of justice and dispute resolution mechanisms in Nigeria as well as the legal and technological responses to it. The article finds that prior to the outbreak of the Covid-19 pandemic, the existing legal framework for dispute resolution in Nigeria did not make any clear and express provisions for the use of ODR, and argues that the outbreak of the Covid-19 pandemic and advancement in ICT necessitated the application of ODR to complement and serve as an alternative to ADR mechanisms and litigation. The article concludes by suggesting legal and policy reforms for the effective application and operation of ODR in Nigeria.
Towards a Community Law on E-Commerce in the Southern African Development Community: Lessons from Selected Regional Frameworks

Published: February 2025

A regulatory legal framework that enhances legal certainty and predictability is regarded as one of the fundamental pillars that enable the development of e-commerce. In the international arena, various instruments such as the UNCITRAL Model Law Electronic Commerce, the UNCITRAL Model Law on Electronic Signatures and the United Nations Convention on the Use of Electronic Communications in International Contracts were adopted mainly to harmonise e-commerce laws and remove legal barriers to the development of e-commerce. The adoption of these international instruments also stimulated regional initiatives towards the regulation of e-commerce in various Regional Economic Communities (RECs). While other regions have made significant progress in the adoption of regional instruments that comprehensively deal with e-commerce issues, the Southern African Development Community (SADC) seems to be lagging behind. Despite the adoption of the SADC Model Law on Electronic Transactions and Electronic Commerce (SADC Model Law), the regulation of e-commerce in SADC remains fragmented and inadequate to create a legal environment that stimulates the development of e-commerce in the region. Accordingly, this article argues that the SADC Model Law has not successfully harmonised e-commerce laws in a way that enhances legal certainty and predictability in e-commerce transactions. Taking lessons from other regional frameworks, this article proposes the adoption of a community law on e-commerce. The article further submits that the current legal system of SADC does not enable the proper functioning of community laws, particularly in the domestic legal frameworks of Member States, as such, it recommends some pertinent changes to the SADC legal system for the proposed community law on e-commerce to be implemented effectively in a way that enhances the development of e-commerce.
Evaluating the Paris Agreement within the Context of the Three-Tenet Framework of Energy Justice
Authors: Abledu Yorm A. , Quashigah Albert
Published: February 2025

The Paris Agreement of 2016 was the culmination of decades of various efforts at mitigation, adaptation and resilience to the impacts of climate change. The Paris Agreement requires party states to take measurable steps not only to reduce greenhouse gas emissions but also to build resilience to adapt to the increasing and devastating impacts of climate change, such as global warming, coastal erosion and tidal waves. Although the Paris Agreement derives its source from the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC), it builds on the achievement of previous meetings of the Conference of the Parties in Kyoto, Cancun and Durban. This notwithstanding, the Paris Agreement is also a far cry from them. Under the Paris Agreement, developing, least developed and small island states, and developed countries are encouraged to take steps to reduce emissions and build systems that adapt to the consequences of climate change. In this analysis, this article, which is descriptive and analytical, adopts the traditional three-tenet framework of energy justice: distributional, recognition and procedural justice to assess whether the Paris Agreement in its current state reflects these three tenets when applied to developed, developing, least developed and small island states.
Juan Luna and the Pious Filipina: Dress and Catholic Ideologies in Juan Luna’s Portraiture
Authors: Averiss Emily
Published: February 2025

Filipino-born painter Juan Luna (1857–1899) was educated at the Academia de Dibujo y Pintura in Manila, before travelling to Spain in 1877. In Europe he won many awards for his work, including Spolarium in 1884, a large painting of gladiators currently displayed prominently in the National Museum of Fine Art, Manila. He returned to the Philippines in 1894, creating numerous portraits of Filipino women which ubiquitously feature variations of early ‘national dress’. This article addresses the frequent inclusion of traditional Filipina attire or Filipiniana, referred to in their early form as Baro’t saya and later known as ‘Maria Clara’ and Traje de Mestiza gowns, in the work of Luna in the prelude to the Philippine Revolution. In particular, this shows how Catholic ideologies influenced what came to be seen as the precursors to the national dress of the Philippines. Catholic ideals, promoted by Spanish colonizers since the sixteenth century, manifested in the clothing depicted in Luna’s iconic images and shaped the roots of the sartorial politics in the Philippines which would evolve throughout the twentieth century and beyond. The modern manifestation of Philippine dress or terno has continued to be linked with national pride, identity and feminist debate due to its inability to disassociate from its origins as both a Philippine and Western garment. This article considers how Catholic ideals became woven into the iconography of Filipiniana and were represented in late nineteenth-century portraiture.
