Influential Factors in Intestinal Absorption and Renal Reabsorption of Calcium
Authors: Mujtahed Sayed M. , Sharifi Ahmad M.
Published: February 2024

Calcium is one of the vital and essential elements in the body, serving as a primary constituent of bones and teeth. It plays a fundamental role in nerve signal transmission, muscle contractions, heart rate regulation, blood clotting, energy production, glandular secretion, and immune system maintenance. Calcium is abundantly found in dietary sources, with most of it residing in the teeth and bones within the body. Approximately 40% of daily dietary calcium is absorbed primarily at the beginning of the intestine and before gastric juice neutralization, while 60% of it is excreted through feces. Calcium absorption occurs in two forms, passive and active, through the intestines, and renal reabsorption takes place through the kidneys. Various factors such as intestinal environment, dietary components (including lactose, proteins, and amino acids),bile salts, parathyroid hormone, vitamin D, acidic pH, health status, age, and growth hormone influence intestinal calcium absorption positively. Conversely, fatty acids, phytic acid, aging, alkaline pH, iron, magnesium, calcitonin hormones, and glucocorticoids reduce calcium absorption. Parathyroid hormone, calcitonin hormone, vitamin D, and dietary regimen significantly contribute to the active reabsorption of calcium through renal tubules. Despite the considerable variations in the calcium content of dietary sources, a highly precise regulatory system controls vitamin D production, preventing fluctuations in plasma calcium ion concentrations. This regulation helps prevent hypocalcemia and hypercalcemia, which can lead to numerous irregularities in the body.

Published: February 2024

The purpose of this study was to assess relationships between students’ attitudes toward physical education (PE), their
perceived competence toward PE, and their fitness test performance, as well as how these relationships change over time.
Measurements were conducted with validated instruments across five time points during two school years with fourth and
fifth grade students across ten schools (n = 636, 48% = female). This study was developed to address a need for
examining how attitudes and perceived competence change over time. Descriptive statistics and latent growth models were
run with the variables of interest to investigate four research questions. We found that greater fitness scores are
associated with greater competence scores at all time points and that fitness testing may have an impactful, yet brief
impact on overall attitudes toward PE. Results showed that fitness test scores predicted higher levels of perceived
competence but not higher positive attitudes. Greater attitude levels were predictive of higher competence. Results
suggested that previous fitness test experiences shaped future attitudes over time as opposed to “in the moment”
attitude scores, a finding not identified in previous research. This study used multiple data points to study PE
attitudes and competence, two pillars of behavioral intention. Attitudes can shift and how previous PE content,
like fitness testing, can predict future attitudes in PE. The actual relationship between competence and attitude
over time is also identified. The results also point to attitude as more of a developed attribute as compared to
one that changes only from one event.

Published: February 2024

Pengelupasan beton ditandai dengan pemisahan elemen beton yang berulang-ulang yang terpapar suhu tinggi. Karena struktur mikronya yang padat, beton mutu tinggi cenderung menyerpih dan kehilangan kekuatannya. Makalah ini menyajikan simulasi perilaku termal pelat beton bertulang (RC) abu terbang isipadu tinggi isipadu tinggi abu terbang (HSHVFANS) beton bertulang (RC) kekuatan tinggi yang terpapar berbagai kurva api (HC, RABT-ZTV, dan RWS) menggunakan analisis elemen hingga (FE). Dua model FE, yaitu No Spalling (NS) dan Maximum Spalling (MS) divalidasi dengan uji api pelat HSHVFANS RC yang terpapar kurva api ISO 834 selama 120 menit. Model FE yang divalidasi digunakan untuk memprediksi efek kedalaman spalling pada kurva api yang berbeda. Hasil profil suhu menunjukkan bahwa model NS FE tetap berada di dalam hasil percobaan, sedangkan model MS FE menunjukkan peningkatan suhu berkisar antara 680 °C hingga 840 °C. Suhu penguatan untuk model NS FE tetap di bawah 300 °C hingga 120 menit, sedangkan model MS FE lebih tinggi dari 300 °C pada 72 menit (ISO 834), 55 menit (HC), 48 menit (RABT-ZTV), dan 46 menit (RWS). Telah ditemukan bahwa periode tahan api dari pelat RC HSHVFANS secara signifikan dipengaruhi pada kedalaman serpihan maksimum.Concrete spalling is characterised by a repetitive breakaway of concrete elements exposed to elevated temperatures. Due to its dense microstructure, high-strength concrete tends to spall and lose its strength. This paper presents the thermal behaviour simulation of a high-strength high-volume fly ash nano-silica (HSHVFANS) reinforced concrete (RC) slab exposed to various fire curves (HC, RABT-ZTV and RWS) using finite element (FE) analysis. Two FE models, namely No Spalling (NS) and Maximum Spalling (MS) were validated with the fire test of the HSHVFANS RC slab exposed to ISO 834 fire curve for 120 min. The validated FE models were used to predict the effect of spalling depth at different fire curves. The temperature profile result shows that the NS FE model remains inside the experimental results, while the MS FE model showed an increase in the temperature ranging from 680 °C up to 840 °C. The reinforcement temperature for the NS FE model remained below 300 °C until 120 min, while the MS FE model was higher than 300 °C at 72 min (ISO 834), 55 min (HC), 48 min (RABT-ZTV), and 46 min (RWS). It has been found that the fire-resistant period of the HSHVFANS RC slab was significantly affected at maximum spalling depth

Authors: Kadam Madhuri , Trivedi Abhijeet , Sachede Vishal
Published: February 2024

Background: Intraventricular hemorrhage (IVH) is the commonly encountered clinical event in preterm neonates which imposes significant morbidity and mortality. Although there is a rapid advancement in the neonatal care, IVH is the common cause of neonatal intensive care units admissions. The present study was carried out to evaluate the risk factors, mortality and neurological outcomes in preterm neonates with IVH.
Methods: This was a prospective study conducted on 75 preterm neonates who were delivered before 37 weeks of gestation. The neonates were subjected to cranial ultrasound for the diagnosis of IVH and graded as per the severity. The neonatal and prenatal variables were recorded and analysed to find its association with IVH progression and mortality. Immediate neurological outcome was also assessed among the IVH preterm neonates. 
Results: In this study out of 75 preterm neonates, the prevalence of IVH was 18 (24%). The main neonatal factors for IVH are less gestational age at delivery, 28-31 weeks (p=0.001), birth weight <1500 gm (p=0.001), APGAR scores <5 at 1 and 5 minutes (p>0.05) and maternal factors associated with IVH is premature rupture of membranes (p=0.01). The mortality rate among the IVH preterm neonates was 7 (38.9%). The significant predictors of mortality were male gender (p=0.004), grade III and IV IVH (p=0.001) and birth weight (p=0.001). The main neurological outcomes observed were seizures and post-hemorrhagic ventricular dilatation.
Conclusions: Increased severity of IVH, early gestational age and low birth weight were associated with mortality in preterm neonates with IVH.

This single-center, retrospective study was conducted at Marengo Asia Hospital, Haryana from January 2023 to November 2023. Children aged 1 month to 16 years, admitted with a positive adenovirus polymerase chain reaction (nasopharyngeal swab) were included. Symptomatic management was provided to all children. The study focuses on discussing the demographic, clinical, laboratory and radiological profiles of hospitalized children with human adenovirus infection. Among the 25 children with a positive adenovirus polymerase chain reaction, 18 (72%) were males, 15 (60%) were within the age group of 1 month to 5 years. Furthermore, 13 (52%) children were hospitalized during summer season. The most prevalent symptoms observed in children admitted with adenovirus infection were high-grade persistent fever in 25 cases (100%), cough and cold in 15 cases (60%), 14 (56%) vomiting in 14 cases (56%), pain abdomen and loose stools in 10 cases (40%), conjunctivitis in 6 cases (24%), and adenoviral pneumonia in 4 cases (16%). Notably all children were discharged successfully without encountering any complications. HAdV infections are commonly associated with high- grade fever, challenging the conventional perception that respiratory infections are their predominant manifestation. Equally noteworthy is the prevalence of gastrointestinal symptoms in HAdV infections

Published: February 2024

Fanconi anemia is a rare autosomal recessive inherited disorder impacting the interstrand cross-link DNA repair pathway, leading to systemic and hematologic manifestations as well as an increased susceptibility to malignancies. Diagnosing FA involves a comprehensive approach, combining physical examinations, clinical investigations, and genetic analysis. In this report, we present the case of an 11-year-old girl with FA who exhibited notable physical characteristics such as short stature, microcephaly, hyperpigmentation, and bifid thumbs in both hands, coupled with the hematologic complication of pancytopenia. The challenge often lies in the delay of identifying physical findings, given the variable and subtle nature of these anomalies. Although genetic analysis confirms the diagnosis, the child had regular visits to pediatrician elsewhere for immunization, congenital anomalies, hyperpigmentation, short stature and received blood transfusions, this delay in recognizing physical manifestations underscores the need for heightened awareness among healthcare professionals to ensure an early diagnosis.

A balanced treatment of perceived organizational politics: A review of the positive influences
Authors: Nyathi Musa
Published: February 2024

The purpose of this paper is to review literature in the area of perceived organizational politics (POPs) and to present a model that explains the positive role of the phenomenon in the workplace. This involves understanding how POPs have evolved from playing a much-publicized destructive role to an emerging constructive one. Design/methodology/approach: An integrative review method was used to review articles on POPs published over the last 13 years (2010–2022). The primary sources of information were several databases, such as ISI Web of Science, Google Scholar, and Scopus. Specific search terms were considered to find relevant articles, leading to 7803 articles (3894 hits on Scopus, 1723 hits on Google Scholar, and 2186 hits on Web of Science). These studies were further examined for their relevance to this study, and 103 articles were identified. The application of exclusion criteria funneled them to 66 studies. The articles, employing quantitative, mixed, and qualitative approaches were coded. The themes were subsequently determined. Findings: The review notes that the POPs literature emphasis is shifting from a negative and dysfunctional approach to one where positive organizational outcomes are possible. The review concludes that POPs have functional consequences too. The phenomenon could illuminate favorable workplace outcomes if viewed as an enhancer rather than a hindrance. POPs should be viewed as a phenomenon that for all purposes is essentially neutral. It is individuals who label the otherwise neutral construct as negative (negative POPs) or positive (positive POPs). Practical implications: The paper reveals how antecedents help organizational members label politics as positive. Perceived organizational politics is largely a neutral construct until the perceiver decides to label it otherwise. A positive perception of politics is significant in predicting important employee outcomes such as motivation, employee satisfaction, and job performance. Management needs to invest in antecedents and moderators to help employees label the construct as positive rather than negative. Originality/value: The study is an original review of the positive POPs literature to identify the significant antecedents, moderators, and work outcomes, vital to organizational success.
Background earthquakes and aftershock sequences of the strongest intraplate earthquakes in Central Asia
Authors: Kuchay O. A.
Published: February 2024

Within the analyzed observation period (1971–2021), the values of the total magnitude of the scalar seismic moment obtained from the aftershocks of the strongest earthquakes (Мw ≥ 7.6) Asia (φ=20–50  N, λ=60–105° E), are weakly correlated with the total magnitude of the scalar seismic moment of background seismicity in the region of the main earthquake. A high level of seismic activity is manifested in the zones of large active faults and is reflected in the total magnitude of the scalar seismic moment of aftershock sequences. The types of movements in the foci of the main events do not affect the degree of aftershock activity (the total values of the scalar seismic moment) and occur at different background levels. Over the past 50 years, the magnitude of the strongest earthquakes has increased compared to the previous fifty-year period.
Almas encerradas, cuerpos al desnudo: sexualidad, erotismo y feminidad en la edad victoriana
Authors: Catullo MacIntyre Luca Tommaso
Published: February 2024

A través de este escrito nos adentraremos en el contexto histórico y social de la edad victoriana y de algunos de sus autores. Analizaremos temas inherentes a la sexualidad, sus leyes y prohibiciones. En contraste con el progreso tecnológico que experimentó la sociedad británica durante el siglo XIX, la época victoriana se caracterizó por un puritanismo exagerado, una tremenda represión sexual y la infravaloración de la mujer, transformada en responsable de todos los males sociales. Moral que fue duramente criticada por algunos de sus contemporáneos, como los escritores Oscar Wilde y Bernard Shaw, que reflejaron en sus obras la mediocridad y la estrechez de miradas de aquella sociedad. Por lo tanto, a lo largo de este artículo, examinaremos leyes represivas y restrictivas que dan crédito a tal afirmación. La dualidad de la época victoriana será el tema y núcleo principal del estudio, en relación con el contexto histórico, social y político de la sociedad inglesa durante el periodo en cuestión. Las conexiones literarias entre transformación psicológica, dualidad y carácter del personaje literario, entendido en sentido genérico o bien como un yo literario, serán determinantes, pues nos remiten a las concepciones de los autores en torno a la personalidad dualista como reelaboración o como metáfora de la existencia humana y de la vida en su transformación material. Los resultados de esta investigación, a lo largo de sus detalladas cinco secciones y su conclusión, nos inducen a creer que la victoriana fue una sociedad plenamente dual, donde, por un lado, se emanaron leyes represivas de género y, por el otro, se dio total desenfreno al libertinaje.
Nakae Chomin’s World of Thought and Ideology of the Meiji Period through the “Gentleman” Character in “A Discourse by Three Drunkards on Government (Sansuijin Keirin Mondo)”
Authors: Yazici Yasemin
Published: February 2024

From the second half of the 19th century, many intellectuals of the Meiji Japan serve as a referance for us in order to understand the roadmap of Japan which has revealed an important modernization story under the name of the Meiji Restoration. One of the enlightened thinkers we come across at this point is Nakae Chōmin. Nakae Chōmin, (1847-1901) contributed to the establishment of concepts such as freedom, equality, democracy and constitutionalism in the political memory of Japan through his articles. At the same time, he created a concept memory in the Japanese political thought and brought new concepts to the Japanese language.

In this study, ideology analysis was made in “Sansuijin Keirin Mondō (A Discourse by Three Drunkards on Government)” which is called Nakae Chōmin’s masterpiece and conveys the ideas of the Meiji period to the reader through different characters. In this work, written with the Socratic dialogue method, the understanding of modernism, idealism, pacifism, freedom, equality, democracy etc. was examined by focusing on the “Gentleman”, one of the characters described as Nakae Chōmin’s alter ego. At the conclusion of the study, we have determined that a great majority of the ideas put forward by the character of “Gentleman” are also included in Nakae Chōmin’s intellectual framework, especially in the liberal views before 1891.

Authors: Abashidze Irakli
Published: February 2024

Marketing communications in the international travel and hospitality industry greatly depend on online platforms. Various goals can be achieved by using digital technologies: advertising, PR, sales, branding, customer relationship management (CRM), data analytics, and online reputation management (ORM). At the same time, international travelers actively use online channels on various stages of behaviour and decision-making process, for different purposes: pre-departure information search, evaluation of alternatives, booking and purchasing services, and post-travel actions. Besides, the peculiarities of Web 2.0 give customers wide opportunities to disseminate their reviews concerning a service. It may significantly impact potential travelers’ decisions as opinions of other customers are regarded as more reliable. Hence, digital platforms must be considered one of the central issues in tourism marketing. The importance of the issue has increased in the post-pandemic conditions when competition in the international tourism industry worldwide has moved to a new level. The paper, employing a combination of literature review, observation, and analysis of primary and secondary data, provides a discussion and comprehensive analysis of various aspects of using online platforms for marketing purposes: opportunities, decision-making process under the influence of online platforms, behaviour peculiarities of international travelers, and strategies for using online channels to increase influence efficiency. Recommendations and solutions are presented for managing various online platforms. The conclusion briefly summarizes the issues discussed in the paper.

Miłość i wojna, czyli historia stara jak świat w „Amores” II 12 Owidiusza
Authors: Miazek-Męczyńska Monika
Published: February 2024

The article contains a translation into Polish and an analysis of Ovid’s elegy Amores II 12, which deals with the theme of the similarity between love and war — a recurring motif in his oeuvre. The poet finds justification for his own romantic conquests in tradition, as he refers to a number of legendary kidnappings of women that resulted in wars. With typical self-irony, however, he emphasizes that his own victories are more praiseworthy than those won by mythical heroes, as his triumphs were individual and bloodless.

Published: February 2024

Electric vehicles play a crucial role in the carbon neutrality transformation of urban transportation, provided that they are powered by electricity generated from renewable (rather than fossil-based) generation sources. However, the substantial indirect emissions from electric vehicle air conditioning energy consumption and the significant direct emissions from HFCs (hydrofluorocarbons) refrigerants pose considerable challenges. In order to identify low-GWP (global warming potential) refrigerants -such as R1234yf, R744, and R290 - that can effectively minimize carbon emissions while maintaining certain cost-effectiveness, this paper establishes the relevant life-cycle analysis and life-cycle cost analysis models for electric vehicle air conditioning. The results obtained show that, in 2022, the total carbon emissions of China’s automotive air conditioning fleet were approximately 162 million tons CO2-eq. The nationwide average carbon emissions ranking of various refrigerant heat pumps is R290 < R1234yf < R744 < R134a. The Net Present Value (NPV) of the life cycle cost for R134a electric vehicle heat pump is estimated to be around 11,500 yuan. Among the three low-GWP refrigerants, the life cycle cost of R290 is significantly lower than that of R134a under nationwide average conditions, while R744 exhibits the best life cycle performance in certain cold cities/regions.

Business success is a business that is able to compete and grow keep abreast of developments in the business world. Especially in the retail sector, where competition is getting tighter. Business owners need to pay attention to the layout of goods and stock management to improve service and meet consumer needs because consumers often have difficulty in finding goods. On the other hand, shortages and excess stock often occur due to lack of goods management. Based on these problems, appropriate techniques are needed for the management of goods supply, one of which is to apply techniques found in the branch of science. Data mining is a technique of association rules. This study aims to find patterns of placement and purchase of goods in generating Association Rule using FP-Growth algorithm. The dataset in this study used data on sales of goods in clothing stores. The results of the study of 140 transactions there are 24 association rules consisting of 7 association rules with 2-itemsets and 17 association rules with 3-itemsets that most often appear in transactions. Based on the order of the highest support value, namely CKJ→STX^LK with a support value of 67%, while the highest confidence value, there are 3 association rules that get the same value, namely STX^CKJ→LK, STX^CAK→LK, STX^RI→LK with a value of 100%. Thus, the rules of association produced by the frequent itemset algorithm, FP-growth, can serve as decision support for the sales of goods in small and medium-sized retail businesses

Data theft from year to year has increased in the era of big data and society 5.0. One area that requires data security is patient medical data. Medical image data security must be done to protect medical data security from data theft by third parties so that they cannot access the data. The development of Diabetic Retinopathy (DR) is also increasing every year. Determining the severity of DR is done by detecting the Foveal Avascular Zone (FAZ). Encryption is the process of changing a plain image into a cipher image. In this study, we compared the results of image quality and encryption time between the Vigenere Cipher method and a combination of pixel scrambling. The average encryption time of the tested FAZ images is 3.20 seconds. This result proves that the pixel combination method has a faster encryption time than the Vigenere Cipher. Vigenere Cipher encryption time is 4.96 seconds. The existence of the FAZ area with the pixel combination randomization method of the encryption process is also invisible, so third parties will not know about its existence.

Sentiment analysis was commonly used to determine the polarity of the review text. However, there is a problem if some reviews have more than one aspect with different polarities, so the reviews have more than one polarity. That has happened in some reviews on the game Genshin Impact. Not merely that, the number of sentiments contained in a review is not always the same as other reviews will cause imbalanced data. So, this study will handle imbalance data with Random Under-Sampling and Random Over-Sampling on aspect-based-sentiment-analysis of Genshin Impact Review with Multinomial Naïve-Bayes, so that the classification prediction does not ignore the minority class due to the dominance of the majority class. The classification process used K-Fold Cross Validation (k=10) validation method and the Laplace smoothing technique on Multinomial Naïve Bayes. As a result, the conclusion is that Random Oversampling had better accuracy than Random Undersampling in handling imbalanced data on aspect-based sentiment analysis of Genshin Impact game Review in Indonesian with Naïve Bayes Multinomial, with the highest accuracy of 85.55%.
Acute Methotrexate Toxicity under Low Dose Therapy
Authors: Duwor Seth , Aboe Michael , Mensah Daniel
Published: February 2024

Objective: We report a case of acute pancytopenia and liver injury after concomitant administration of low-dose methotrexate (MTX), and high-dose esomeprazole and metamizole. Case summary: A 71-year-old patient with chronic systemic idiopathic erosive arthritis was admitted after a pelvic ring fracture. After hospital admission, she received MTX in addition to esomeprazole and metamizole. Subsequent laboratory tests revealed pancytopenia and elevated liver enzymes. The follow-up clinical examinations were unremarkable, with the exception of sub-febrile temperatures. Further investigations did not detect a definitive etiology. Due to the suspicion of methotrexate-induced hematotoxicity and hepatotoxicity, antagonizing therapy with calcium folinate was administered, after which the blood counts and liver parameters normalized. Discussion: Due to the administration of high-dose metamizole immediately before the administration of low-dose MTX, the pre-existing hematotoxic pharmacodynamic effect of MTX was acutely enhanced by that of metamizole, although folic acid was administered preemptively. In addition, the concomitant administration of high-dose esomeprazole and normal dose torasemide resulted in a pharmacokinetic interaction with MTX by decreasing its renal secretion and elimination, further enhancing the concentration-dependent hematotoxic and hepatotoxic side effects of MTX. Conclusions: The relatively high demand for analgesics in patients with chronic rheumatic diseases already being treated with MTX and proton pump inhibitors necessitates that clinicians consider drug-drug interactions as potential causes of adverse drug reactions after the administration of metamizole or nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs. In this category of patients, it is strongly recommended to switch to analgesics of other classes, consider dose adjustment of relevant concomitant medications.

Small scale carp polyculture plays a key role for food supply in Bangladesh, however, factors including water pollution, limited infrastructure and inadequate disease management hinder its sustainability. This paper reports on a survey of 231 farmers across the 6 major carp producing regions in Bangladesh, analyzing factors including, farmers’ social aspects, farm characteristics, information on disease and approaches adopted to combat them, and biosecurity practices. Almost half (46.8%) of the farms surveyed experienced disease in carp species, with clear regional variations. Eighty four percent of farms reported carp mortalities during disease outbreak, with an average mortality level 10.23±11.81%. Clinical signs during outbreaks lasted between a week and a month, and there was a peak in disease outbreaks in two seasonal periods between June to July and October to December. Disease incidence was related to a range of factors including the farmer experience, ponds/farm type, stocked species, and biosecurity practice. A combination of disinfecting measures during pond preparation and measures during stocking, including discarding fingerling transport water off-farm, fingerling disinfection and check the health of fingerlings before stocking significantly reduced disease occurrence. Treatments involving the antibiotics, ciprofloxacin, erythromycin, and azithromycin were reported as ineffective, raising concerns about non-prudent use, inadequate dosing (perhaps without appropriate veterinary guidance) and the potential for further driving antimicrobial resistance in the environment. The research unveils a concerning pattern of disease high disease incidence across small-scale carp farms in Bangladesh and the significant potential for disease spread highlights the need for responsible disposal practices. The study emphasizes the need for improving training and awareness programs are vital for addressing biosecurity and disease management challenges, ensuring sustainable aquaculture and community well-being.
Quasinormal Modes at Electron Plasmas

Published: February 2024

We investigate the shear quasinormal modes (QNMs) in the context of electron stars, focusing on the Lifshitz geometry and exploring the behavior in the small star limit. The study begins by analyzing the shear sector modes in the infrared (IR) Lifshitz limit, where the geometry approaches that of a pure Lifshitz space. We derive and solve the differential equations governing the shear modes, revealing the asymptotic behavior in terms of the Lifshitz exponent. In the special case of integer values of the exponent, we obtain analytic corrections to the solutions to extract hydrodynamical QNMs. We then explore the cases with a Lifshitz exponent equal to or greater than three, providing analytical corrections to the Lifshitz IR solutions. A special case with an exponent of two is also considered, leading to modified solutions. The study extends to finding hydrodynamical QNMs, emphasizing the role of the Lifshitz geometry. Further investigations involve the flux with real and complex frequencies, considering the off-shell Lagrangian and deriving conserved flux expressions. Our analysis focuses on the exterior of the star, modeled by the Reissner-Nordström-AdS geometry. The small star limit is examined, revealing interesting features in the behavior of fermionic excitations. In summary, we provide a detailed exploration of shear quasinormal modes in electron stars, shedding light on their behavior in Lifshitz geometry, small star limits, and the interplay between real and complex frequencies. Our findings contribute to our understanding of the dynamics of electron stars and their gravitational properties.

Food authorities aim to safeguard our food. This requires sensitive analyses to guarantee detection of both banned and regulated substances at low concentrations. At the same time, broad screening methods are needed to identify new emerging risks. For this purpose effect-based bioassays combined with mass spectrometric analyses offer an advantage. During the regular monitoring of dioxins in agricultural products, a discrepancy was observed between the results of the DR CALUX (Dioxin-Responsive Chemical Activated Luciferase gene Expression) bioassay and the confirmatory gas chromatographic high resolution mass spectrometric (GC-HRMS) analysis in egg and broiler fat samples. The response in the bioassay was high, suggesting a clear exceedance of the maximum limits of dioxins in these samples, yet regulated dioxins or dl-PCBs were not detected by GC/HRMS analysis . Ultimately, a broad screening analysis using GC-HRMS resulted in the identification of 2,3,7,8-tetrabromo-dibenzofuran (2,3,7,8-TBDF) in both egg and broiler fat. To investigate the potential; source of this brominated furan contaminant, different samples were analysed: bedding material, poultry feed, feed additives (choline chloride and L-lysine) and seaweed. The poultry feed and feed additives all contained 2,3,7,8-TBDF. Using a feed to food converter, it became clear that the poultry feed was probably the source of 2,3,7,8-TBDF in broilers and eggs through a feed additive like L-lysine or choline chloride. This study underlines the importance of using a combination of effect based screening assays with sensitive analytical methods to detect potential new and emerging risks.
