Published: January 2025

The Domestic Balkan and Banat donkey (Equus asinus asinus) are native donkey
breeds primarily raised in the Special Nature Reserve 'Zasavica', Serbia.
The study's objective was to analyze the composition of donkey's milk during
the lactation period (12th to 30th week of lactation), regardless of the
donkey's breed. The investigated donkey milk composition is characterized by
a low content of dry matter, protein and fat and a high amount of lactose,
compared to the milk of other dairy animals. The study revealed that content
of dry matter ranged from 7.20 to 9.52%, fat ranged from 0.10 to 1.00%,
protein ranged from 1.17 to 2.07%, lactose ranged from 4.52 to 6.71%, ash
ranged from 0.28 to 0.50% and pH ranged from 6.82 to 7.46. Dry matter, fat,
and ash content progressively lowered during lactation, with some
oscillations. Milk protein and lactose content were not affected during the
lactation stage. The pH value increased progressively during lactation with
slight oscillations during the 18th and 21st week of lactation.
Statistically significant differences between lactation weeks were
established only for lactose content and pH values.
Demografic analysis of biopesticide effects on the two-spotted spider mite (Acari: Tetranychidae) following egg treatment
Authors: Medjo Irena
Published: January 2025

The effects of biopesticide products based on oxymatrine, azadirachtin and
Beauveria bassiana (strain ATCC 74040) on demographic parameters of the
two-spotted spider mite, Tetranychus urticaeKoch (Acari: Tetranychidae),
were evaluated in laboratory bioassays. The biopesticides were applied by
spraying 24 h old eggs laid on bean leaves, using the following
concentrations: 50 ?l/l (oxymatrine-based product), 0.75 g/l
(azadirachtin-based product) and 3 ml/l (B. bassiana-based product). These
concentrations were within 95% confidence limits of the LC50s estimated in
acute toxicity bioassays. The mites that hatched from treated eggs completed
their juvenile development on the same leaf discs, i.e. the toxic effect was
caused by topical treatment and residual exposure. When the surviving
females entered their preovipositional period, cohorts of 40 control and 40
treated females were transferred to untreated leaf discs (1 female/disc).
Females were transferred daily to new discs until the death of the last one.
Using the data on their age-specific survival and age-specific fertility
(production of female offspring), the following demographic parameters were
estimated: gross reproductive rate (GRR), net reproductive rate (R0),
intrinsic rate of increase (rm), finite rate of increase (?), and mean
generation time (T). The biopesticides significantly affected these
demographic parameters in females that survived treatments. All three
biopesticides significantly reduced the GRR and R0 values. In the bioassays
with oxymatrineand azadirachtin-based products, the rm and ? values were
reduced by 22% and 5%, and 16% and 4%, respectively, due to reduced survival
and fertility, as well as extended juvenile developmental time of females
that survived treatment, compared to control females. In the bioassay with
the B. bassiana-based product, the rm and ? values were reduced by 7% and
2%, respectively, mostly due to the reduced survival of treated females. The
oxymatrineand azadirachtin-based products significantly extended, while B.
bassiana-based product reduced the T values.

Published: January 2025

The role of the intrarenal renin-angiotensin system (iRAS) in diabetic kidney disease (DKD) progression remains unclear. In this study, we generated mice with renal tubule-specific deletion of angiotensinogen (Agt; RT-Agt-/-) in both Akita and streptozotocin (STZ)-induced mouse model of diabetes. Both Akita RT-Agt-/- and STZ-RT-Agt-/- mice exhibited significant attenuation of glomerular hyperfiltration, urinary albumin/creatinine ratio, glomerulomegaly and tubular injury. Urinary Agt, Angiotensin II (Ang II) and oxidative stress were decreased in Akita RT-Agt-/- mice cf. Akita mice. Moreover, thickened glomerular basement membranes, podocyte foot process effacement and podocyte loss were ameliorated in Akita RT-Agt-/- mice cf. Akita mice. Mechanistically, intra-vital microscopy revealed that attenuation of glomerular hyperfiltration in Akita RT-Agt-/- mice was mediated via efferent arteriole (EA) vasodilation and afferent arteriole (AA) vasoconstriction. The AA vasoconstriction was regulated, at least partially, through tubulo-glomerular feedback by down-regulation of sodium-glucose co-transporter 2 (SGLT2) expression in renal proximal tubules. The renal protective effect of iRAS inactivation in Akita RT-Agt-/- mice was more evident than in Akita mice treated with RAS blockers. In vitro, Ang II stimulated, losartan and apocynin inhibited SGLT2 expression in immortalized human renal proximal tubular cells. These findings suggest targeting the iRAS may constitute effective treatment for DKD.

Published: January 2025

Background and purpose: The similarities in biology, treatment regimens and outcome between the different human papillomavirus (HPV) associated squamous cell carcinomas (SCCs) allow for extrapolation of results generated from one SC tumor type to another.
In HPV associated cancers, HPV is integrated into the tumor genome and can consequently be detected in the circulating fragments of the tumor DNA. Thus, measurement of HPV in the plasma is a surrogate for circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) and holds promise as a clinically relevant biomarker in HPV associated cancers.
With the present overview we aim to present the status of circulating HPV studies in SCCs, the clinical potential and the gaps of knowledge, with the overall aim to facilitate the next steps into clinically relevant prospective trials.
Material and methods: We reviewed the literature and presented the data for each tumor type as well as analyses of the clinical utility across the SCC.
Results and interpretation: A total of 41 studies were identified in cervical, head and neck and anal SCC and we discuss the common signals from the results across the different tumor sites. Our results not only confirm the strong clinical potential but also emphasize an urgent need to coordinate studies to allow for relevant sample sizes and statistical validations.

Published: January 2025

Cutaneous immune-related adverse events (cirAEs) may be associated with tumoral response and survival in patients using immune checkpoint inhibitors, but this relationship remains unclear because previous reports on the topic have various limitations. The purpose of this study was to examine the association of cirAEs with overall survival and progression-free survival in patients starting immune checkpoint inhibitors. A prospective observational study was conducted in a Spanish tertiary care hospital, including participants between March 2020 and May 2022. The statistical analysis involved the Kaplan–Meier method, log-rank test, and multivariable Cox proportional hazards regression models. At total of 189 patients were included, of whom 82 (43.4%) presented cirAEs. Most participants (56.6%) were diagnosed with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Mortality and progression rates were lower in patients with vs without cirAEs (p < 0.0001). Cox models showed that cirAEs were a protective factor for overall survival (adjusted HR 0.50; p < 0.0001) and progression-free survival (adjusted HR 0.54; p = 0.001) independently of cancer type, tumour stage or immune checkpoint inhibitor category. There were similar results for extracutaneous irAEs. A limitation was the single-centre design. CirAE occurrence is positively associated with longer survival and less cancer progression among immune checkpoint inhibitor recipients independently of other factors.

Objective: To evaluate the satisfaction, effectiveness, and usability of a telerehabilitation programme for Parkinson’s disease (PD) patients.
Design: Prospective cohort study.
Subjects/Patients: PD patients based on the diagnostic criteria for clinically established or probable PD published by the International Parkinson and Movement Disorder Society.
Methods: The telerehabilitation was conducted twice a week via a Zoom meeting platform, using pre-recorded rehabilitation contents shared during the sessions. In this study we administered several questionnaires, i.e., a self-report questionnaire on the effectiveness of telerehabilitation, the Parkinson’s Disease Questionnaire-39 (PDQ-39), and the Telehealth Usability Questionnaire (TUQ), in order to evaluate the satisfaction, effectiveness, and usability of our telerehabilitation programme.
Results: Fifty-six PD patients were included in the analysis. After 6 months, 91.1% expressed satisfaction with the telerehabilitation and 91.9% reported telerehabilitation had helped them develop an exercise routine, but the PDQ-39 showed no significant improvement in quality of life. The TUQ showed higher scores for Usefulness (76.1%), Ease of Use and Learnability (73.5%), Interface Quality (75.4%), and Satisfaction and Future Use (82.2%).
Conclusion: Satisfaction with telerehabilitation was high, particularly with regard to positive effects on emotional well-being. Telerehabilitation usability was also found to be high.

Authors: Johansson Jan , Möller Marika , Franzon Kristina , Stenberg Jonas , Godbolt Alison K.
Published: January 2025

Objective: To investigate if eye tracking can support detection of covert voluntary eye movements and to compare these findings with a simultaneously performed clinical assessment according to the Coma Recovery Scale manual regarding visual stimuli.
Design: Observational case series.
Subjects: Twelve outpatients with prolonged disorders of consciousness recruited from the rehabilitation clinic of a regional rehabilitation unit.
Method: Eye movements were recorded with a wearable eye tracker while performing 4 test items from the Coma Recovery Scale Revised. The clinical assessment and recorded eye movement responses were analysed for agreement.
Results: Response data was obtained from 238 out of 288 trials. Eye-tracking data were obtained in median 89.6% of the trials (37.5–100%). The eye tracking assessment judged a significantly higher percentage of trials as a response (46.2%) compared with the clinical assessment (18.1%), mainly in test items “visual pursuit” and “visual fixation”.
Conclusion: Eye tracking showed potential to be more effective in the detection of putative voluntary eye movements compared with conventional examination. Based on the findings in this and previous studies, eye tracking may serve as a useful complementary tool when examining patients with prolonged disorders of consciousness.

Published: January 2025

Objective: To identify factors associated with earlier independence in “real-life walking” during hospitalization in subacute stroke patients.
Design: Retrospective cohort study.
Subjects/Patients: Two hundred and six hemiplegic patients.
Methods: Functional Independence Measure (FIM) walking items were measured biweekly from admission to discharge. Patients were grouped by achieving independent “real-life walking” (FIM-walking score ≥6). Time to independence, stratified by age, FIM motor score (FIM-M), FIM cognitive score (FIM-C), and Functional Ambulation Categories (FAC) scores were compared using Kaplan–Meier plots and log-rank tests. Hazard ratios were calculated via multivariable Cox proportional hazard models.
Results: The median time to independence was 4 weeks, with significant differences (p < 0.05) by age, FIM-M, FIM-C, and FAC stratification. Age ≤64 years (hazard ratio 1.92, 95% confidence interval 1.21–3.06), FIM-C ≥25 (hazard ratio 2.42, 95% confidence interval 1.52–3.86), and FAC ≥3 (hazard ratio 1.98, 95% confidence interval 1.22–3.21) significantly affected earlier walking independence (all p < 0.01). Impeding factors were FIM-M ≤38 (hazard ratio 0.23, 95% confidence interval 0.13–0.40; p < 0.01) and FAC = 0 (hazard ratio 0.184, 95% confidence interval 0.06–0.62; p < 0.01).
Conclusion: Early improvement in “real-life walking” was associated with younger age, greater cognitive function, and greater “test-setting walking” ability on admission. Low activities of daily living independence and “test-setting walking” ability hindered early progress.

Temperature stress is a major abiotic factor significantly impacting crop growth, development and productivity. In this study,
we investigated the effects of different growth temperatures (10°C, 22°C, and 35°C) on the morphological, physiological and
biochemical responses of five important crop species: green lettuce, hemp, mint, red lettuce and tomato. The results revealed
that plant height and stem girth of tomato plants were not significantly (p > 0.05) altered under 22°C and 35°C, but were reduced
by ca. 61.9% and 65.7% respectively under 10°C compared to 22°C. Green lettuce plants grown under 22°C had significantly (p
< 0.001) higher total chlorophyll content of ca. 35.9% than those under 10°C. Mint plants exposed to extreme temperatures of
35°C and 10°C showed significant (p < 0.001) reductions of up to 19.7%, 60.2%, and 45.8% in chlorophyll fluorescence indices
Fv/Fm, Fv/Fo, and total chlorophyll content, respectively, compared to those grown under 22°C. Malonaldehyde content
(MDA) in mint and tomato plants increased by ca. 686.7% and 476.4%, respectively, under 10°C compared to 22°C, while
in red lettuce, MDA content was reduced by ca. 136% under 10°C compared to 35°C. Notably, flavonoid accumulation was
significantly higher in hemp plants compared to other species. The results suggest that crop species exhibit diverse responses
to temperature stress, extending beyond morphological, physiological and biochemical adaptations. This diversity shows the
differential adaptive strategies employed by various plant species in response to temperature stress conditions. The findings
of this study can be explored by various crop improvement programs to enhance the tolerance of these crops to temperature
extremes, thereby contributing to food security amidst the threats posed by climate change.

Authors: P Morang , S Bhattacharjee , S Nath Doley
Published: January 2025

India is one of the largest contributors of Tea (Camellia sinensis) throughout the globe. This is solely due to the suitable agroclimatic conditions perfect for growth of the plant especially overthe NER (North Eastern Region) of India having appropriate
humidity, soil fertility and hilly terrain. The land suitable for tea cultivation is limited and its productivity needs to be increased
in order to meet the ever-increasing domestic and international demand for this non-alcoholic beverage. Considering the
impact of plant diseases in the overall production of this economically and medicinally important crop, this paper highlights
some of the frequently occurring stem and root diseases of tea that can be an aid towards the tea planters of Assam & North
East India. Tea, due to its prolonged cultivation time, it becomessusceptible to infection by variouspathogens causing diseases
in the plant that are responsible for causing significant annual crop losses. There are about 209 genera comprising 389 species
of fungi that affect the tea plantations by causing infectious diseases, out of which over 190 species are found in Assam and
other adjoining states. Efficient management of diseases depend upon on the biology and mode of spread of the pathogens.
The stem and root diseases of tea can be controlled mostly by adopting certain cultural and chemical methods but adoption of
Integrated Disease Management (IDM) approach can lead us towards the long-term goal of sustainable disease management.
Effects of Herbal Galactagogues on Breast Milk*
Authors: Dogan Gokcen , RK Cengel
Published: January 2025

Breast milk is an indispensable source of nutrition, composed of thousands of components crucial for the growth and
development of infants. It is the gold standard for the nourishment of newborns and babies. According to guidelines from
the World Health Organization, exclusive breastfeeding should be practiced up to 6 months, with complementary feeding
introduced concurrently until the age of 2 years. Breastfeeding is recognized as a crucial stage in women's reproductive
processes, benefiting both the mother and the baby. Adequate and balanced nutrition during pregnancy and lactation not
only influences the mother's healthy body weight but also affects the content of breast milk. Insufficient production of
breast milk can occur due to maternal factors, baby-related conditions, or psychological reasons. To address this, mothers
may turn to practices aimed at increasing milk supply, such as applying milk-enhancing recipes learned from their social
environment and consuming specific foods and beverages. Commonly believed milk-boosting foods include soups, fruits,
vegetables, bulgur, molasses, halva, yogurt, and syrups. Galactagogues are substances that initiate the synthesis of breast milk,
aiding in its continuation and enhancement. The mechanisms of many food substances classified as galactagogues are not
fully understood. This review examines the positive effects of commonly reported herbal galactagogues, including fenugreek,
asparagus, fennel, dates, blessed thistle, milk thistle, anise, and black cumin, on breast milk. This article aims to investigate
the effects of herbal galactagogues on breast milk production. The study evaluates the potential of various plants to enhance
milk supply. This article employs a review study approach, gathering information from previously conducted research. The
selected studies, accessible through PubMed, Google Scholar, YökTez, and BioMed Central, must be peer-reviewed, published
within the last 10 years, and focus on the effects of herbal galactagogues on breast milk. Exclusion criteria include studies with
insufficient evidence, outdated content, or biased results. The present research emphasizes the need to increase awareness
and knowledge levels regarding galactagogues in the community and among healthcare professionals. It also underscores the
necessity for further studies to provide evidence-based clarification on unresolved aspects related to galactagogues and their
positive relationship with breast milk.

Published: January 2025

The Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic has had a tremendous negative impact on the health systems of all
countries worldwide. Medical services had been halted due to disrupted supply chains, arising from the havoc wreaked by the
pandemic. Essential life-saving medicines couldn’t reach the patients who needed them most. Moreover, there was a severe
shortage of doctors and nurses too. With the progress of the pandemic, the hospitals became increasingly overburdened.
As a result, treating COVID patients became extremely challenging. Caring for the elderly became even more challenging.
Notably, this vulnerable group had been disproportionately affected by the pandemic and have had to bear the brunt of the
burden. Treatment strategies for elderly and frail patients need to be tailor-made and fine-tuned, so that these cater to their
specialized needs. The various strategies for treating this group of patients have been discussed in this review.

Published: January 2025

A espiritualidade é entendida como uma busca por significado e conexão com algo maior que si mesmo e não está necessariamente ligada a uma religião específica, outrossim acaba também envolvendo o modo como o sujeito procura viver e pode gerar impactos positivos e negativos em todo os aspectos da vida das pessoas. Sendo assim, esse artigo teve como objetivo: identificar qual a influência da espiritualidade diante a saúde mental. Esse estudo se trata de uma Revisão Integrativa da Literatura, com abordagem qualitativa, onde foram selecionados 9 estudos para análise. A investigação desenvolvida possibilitou identificar que a espiritualidade se faz presente na maior parte do cotidiano da população brasileira, entre as mais variadas religiões, e atrelada ao contexto da saúde mental a espiritualidade tem potencial no sentido de promover maior bem-estar, desencadear sentimentos e percepções positivas como esperança e determinação perante adversidades. Sendo assim, pode-se apontar que a espiritualidade desempenha influência diante a saúde mental das pessoas, tendo em vista que sofrimentos psíquicos como depressão, ansiedade e tristezas ocasionados por diagnósticos clínicos negativos, problemas familiares e acompanhamento de doentes podem ser atenuados quando existe a interação entre o homem e a espiritualidade, todavia ainda existem contextos em que a crença em uma dimensão transcendente da vida podem não colaborar com a saúde mental de maneira positiva

Ultisols have problems with soil organic matter and low nutrients, that making soil fertility low. Population and earthworm biomass is one indicator of the fertility level of a soil. Efforts to increase soil fertility can be done by giving biochar and chicken manure. This study aims to study the effect of biochar and chicken manure application on earthworm population and biomass and study the correlation between earthworm population and biomass with soil properties. This research uses a non-factorial Group Randomized Design (RAK) with 4 groups and 4 treatments, namely, B0 = control, B1 = biochar 5 tons ha-1, B2 = chicken manure 5 tons ha-1, and B3 = biochar 5 tons ha-1 + chicken manure 5 tons ha-1. The data was analyzed for variance, followed by a 5% BNT test, as well as a correlation test between earthworm population and biomass with supporting variables. The results showed that the application of biochar and chicken manure had no effect on earthworm population and biomass at the entire time of observation. There is a negative correlation between soil water content with earthworm populations and soil temperature with earthworm biomass. There is a positive correlation between soil pH with earthworm populations and biomass, but there is no correlation between earthworm populations and biomass with corn crop production components. Two families of earthworms found in the research area are Megascolecidae and Glossoscolecidae. Key words: Glossoscolecidae, Megascolecidae, soil ameliorant, Ultisol

The field experiment was carried out in the demonstration plot of the Makmur Farmers Group, Sidomulyo Village, Air Naningan District, Tanggamus Regency. The land used is land clearing of an old cocoa plantation, by tilling the land twice using a tractor, using superior local seeds, setting plant distances using a hedge system, applying biochar, planting intercrops and planting shade trees. From the survey results, it can be concluded that coffee farmers apply the principles of sustainable intensification in coffee planting, namely planting coffee with a hedge system, intercropping with annual crops and bananas, and applying soil amendments, especially coffee skin waste and manure. The results of the plot experiment concluded that corn intercropping with tillage at the beginning of coffee planting gave good yield in 2 planting seasons while in the third season productivity decreased greatly. The long dry season is the main obstacle in coffee establisment, includes causing plant death and inhibiting plant growth which is showed by wavy and closing leaves, yellowing leaves, malformed young leaves, and wilting leaves. Cultivating corn plants between row of 2 years old coffee does not affect the vegetative or generative growth of coffee. It does not inhibit the growth of coffee plants as indicated by plant height, number of primary branches, length of primary branches, stem diameter, number of nodes per primary branch, and number of flower bunch per tree. Key words: Coffee, sustainable intensification, new planting, symptoms, yellowing leaves, wilting

Cherry tomatoes are prone to deteriorate during storage. Proper post-harvest technology is needed to maintain the quality of cherry tomatoes. This research aims to examine the effect of chitosan coating and storage temperature on the quality of cherry tomatoes and determine the optimal treatment. Cherry tomatoes of the Fortesta variety were used for experiment. Cherry tomatoes were dipped in chitosan solution with concentrations of 1% and 2%, and control. Each group of cherry tomatoes was then stored at temperatures of 15°C and 25°C. The research was arranged under a factorial completely randomized design with three replications. Measurement was performed on respiration rate, weight loss, firmness, total soluble solids, and organoleptic tests (freshness, color, and aroma) of cherry tomatoes. The results showed that chitosan coating affects the respiration rate, weight loss, firmness, total soluble solids, and organoleptic tests. Storage temperature affects respiration rate, weight loss, firmness, total soluble solids, and organoleptic tests. Chitosan coating of 2% concentration and storage temperature of 15°C were the best treatments that were able to suppress respiration rate, weight loss, firmness, total soluble solids, and were still accepted by panelists on the 21st day of storage. In contrast, the control only lasted until the 12th day of storage. Keywords: Cherry tomatoes, Chitosan, Cold storage, Edible coating, Quality.

Coffee is an important plantation commodity for the Indonesian economy. However, coffee production has decreased due to low soil fertility. One effort to increase soil fertility is by applying Biopore Infiltration Hole. This study aimed to examine the effect of biopore on nutrient availability in coffee leaves (Coffea canephora) and soil in Jatikerto Field, Malang. The experiment used a randomized block design with four treatments: control, 30 cm depth biopore, 30 cm biopore + compost, and 30 cm biopore + goat manure. Nutrient content on leaves and soil chemical properties (total N, available P, K-exchangeable) were measured. The results showed that the application of BIH 30 cm plus goat manure, was able to significantly increase the availability of N, P, K nutrients in coffee leaves and also soil total N, available P, K-exchangeable. Overall, the application of BIH was able to increase soil fertility and nutrient uptake by coffee plants. Keywords: Biopore, Compost, Nutrients. Organic,

Rozdelenie vidieckeho a mestského obyvateľstva v závislosti od volebných preferencií s využitím tekutej a pevnej modernity ako rámca pre analýzu
Authors: Cole David , Valihorová Marta , Murray Svidroňová Mária
Published: January 2025

Zygmunt Bauman zaviedol pojem „tekutá modernita“ na charakterizovanie meniacich sa životných štýlov typických pre mestské centrá. Alternatívou je „pevná modernita“, ktorú opisuje ako snahu o stabilitu a zachovanie tradície – koncept typický pre vidiecke oblasti. Keďže vidiek sa považuje za protiklad mesta, obyvatelia vidieka sú vnímaní skôr ako ľudia, ktorí sa venujú poľnohospodárstvu, ťažbe surovín alebo iným činnostiam priamo spojeným s pôdou v prírodnom prostredí. Takýto pohľad však prehliada ekonomické prepojenie mnohých vidieckych oblastí s veľkými aj malými mestami a vytvára tiež predpoklady pre rozdielne volebné preferencie. V štúdii sme vychádzali z údajov o poštových smerovacích číslach uvedených v 3,3 milióna pracovných zmlúv v rámci Sociálnej poisťovne. S ich pomocou sme zisťovali, kde ľudia pracujú a kde bývajú. Tieto údaje sme potom porovnali s údajmi o volebnom hlasovaní v mestách podľa toho, ako sú obyvatelia ekonomickými väzbami prepojení s vidieckymi oblasťami. Cieľom príspevku je identifikovať vidiecke oblasti podľa napojenosti na mestské centrá a odmerať voličské odchýlky medzi vidieckym a mestským prostredím. Tento rozdiel môže byť skreslený, ak je ekonomické prepojenie obyvateľa vidieka spojené s mestom. Po identifikovaní mestských centier v každom z ôsmich krajov sme merali voličské preferencie vo vidieckych oblastiach. Zistili sme, že takzvané vidiecke regióny majú veľmi podobné výsledky hlasovania bez ohľadu na to, akú mieru prepojenosti s mestom majú ich obyvatelia. Podľa našich záverov s decentralizáciou a presunom obyvateľstva z mestského prostredia do vidieckeho prostredia rastie túžba po pevnej modernite a s ňou aj po populistickejšom hlasovaní.
