Horvátország és az ukrajnai háború
Authors: Orosz Anna
Published: February 2025

A tanulmány a horvátországi politikai, társadalmi reakciókat, valamint védelempolitikai és haderőfejlesztési lépéseket elemezve vizsgálja meg Horvátország politikáját az ukrajnai háború kapcsán. Az Ukrajnát mellszélességgel támogató kormányzati politika hátterében az aktuális politikai és biztonsági tényezőkön kívül a horvát állam- és nemzetfejlődés jellemzői is megtalálhatók, ugyanakkor a támogatás formája már megosztja a horvát politikai döntéshozókat. Az elmúlt pár évben a horvát haderő fejlesztése is beindult, azonban ez nem köthető szigorúan az orosz agresszióhoz és az ukrajnai háború kitöréséhez. Mindazonáltal a háború teremtette új geopolitikai és biztonsági környezet hatással van Zágráb rövid és középtávú védelempolitikai terveire és lehetőségeire. Végül a tanulmány röviden kitér a háború gazdasági hatásaira, különös tekintettel az energiaszektorra, amelyben új stratégiai lehetőségek nyíltak Zágráb számára.

FACTORS OF GLOBAL TRANSFORMATION IN INTERNATIONAL FREIGHT TRANSPORT
Authors: Rostislav Popov
Published: February 2025

This article identifies the factors that drive global transformations in international freight transport, namely: geopolitical, economic, social, technological and environmental. The impact of global trends on economic growth in countries with different income levels is studied. The relationship between geopolitical tensions and long-term prospects for the development of the world economy is established, as well as domestic political events that are considered sources of instability and lead to changes in the structure of supply chains. The dynamics of the impact of geopolitical factors on a global scale from the Cold War to the present day is presented based on the Geopolitical Risk Index. Classifications of geopolitical events by the nature of their occurrence that have had a negative impact on international freight transport are proposed: military conflicts and wars; international sanctions; security. It is noted that economic factors can either promote international transportation through reduced tariffs and standardization of rules, or vice versa, the policies of individual countries that violate existing rules lead to adjustments to established routes and the search for new markets. It is proven that the COVID-19 pandemic caused economic instability in the global trade space and contributed to the creation of “logistical chaos” and changes in freight logistics due to the need for sustainability of supply chains in the international market. It is noted that the established UN principles of sustainable development have created the basis for establishing common standards in the business environment, which have become the basis of social standards in trade relations, which leads to more sustainable supply chains. A chronology of technological innovations over the past 50 years that have occurred in the transport and logistics sectors and have ensured a revolution in the organization of international freight transportation is presented. The importance of complying with environmental rules and requirements when organizing international freight transportation was emphasized.

Published: February 2025

We frequently hear news about compromised systems, virus attacks, spam emails, stolen bank account numbers, and loss of money. Safeguarding and protecting digital assets against these and other cyber-attacks are extremely important in our digital connected world today. Many organizations spend substantial amounts of money to protect their digital assets. One type of cyber threat that is rampant these days is social engineering attacks that work on human psychology. These attacks typically persuade, convince, trick and threaten naïve and innocent individuals to divulge sensitive information to the attackers. Consequently, traditional approaches have not been effective or successful in preventing these attack types. In this paper, we propose a machine learning model to detect these types of threats. The model is trained using a large synthetic dataset of 10,000 samples to simulate various types of real-world social engineering threats such as phishing, spear phishing, whaling, vishing, smishing, baiting, and pretexting. Our analysis on attack types, patterns, and characteristics revealed interesting insights. Our model achieved an accuracy of 0.8984 and an F1 score of 0.9253, demonstrating its effectiveness in detecting social engineering attacks. The use of synthetic data overcomes the problem of lack of availability of real-world data due to privacy issues, and is demonstrated in this work to be safe, scalable, ethics friendly and effective.

As dogs age, the decline in mobility is a common physiological change. The incorporation of complementary feeds can
be an effective strategy to support and preserve joint function and mobility, contributing to the maintenance of overall
musculoskeletal health and comfort in geriatric dogs. Privately owned dogs aged over six years, exhibiting reduced
mobility and no changes in their mobility management within the last three months, were recruited for this study. They
were administered a chicken cartilage hydrolysate complementary feed containing a complex of glycosaminoglycans
and type II collagen (Glycosane®, MP Labo, France) once daily for 56 days. Assessments were conducted at baseline
(D0) and follow-up visits at D7, D28, and D56. Mobility, pain intensity, and pain interference were evaluated using
a revised Liverpool Osteoarthritis in Dogs (LOAD) scale and a Canine Brief Pain Inventory (CBPI). Owners also
completed a questionnaire assessing quality of life (QoL), with seven questions on the animal’s well-being (QoL1)
and seven questions on the owner’s well-being (QoL2). A total of 21 dogs were included in the study, with 71% of
owners reporting enhanced mobility by D56. Notable improvements were observed in half of the cases after 21 days of
supplementation, with 39% of cases showing significant changes as early as 14 days. Revised LOAD scores demonstrated
a significant improvement over time (p=0.0019). CBPI severity scores decreased significantly from baseline to D28 and
D56 (p=0.0300 and p=0.0271, respectively). The CBPI QoL score also significantly improved at D56 compared to D7
(p=0.0440). The overall QoL score showed a significant improvement by D56 compared to baseline (p=0.0089), with
a particular improvement in QoL1 (p=0.0015). The supplement was rated highly for ease of use (mean score 4.4/5),
with an excellent compliance (95%). This complementary feed demonstrates significant benefits in enhancing mobility
and quality of life in senior dogs. Its high ease of administration supports owner compliance and satisfaction. These
findings suggest that Glycosane® is a valuable nutritional aid in maintaining canine mobility. Further studies with
larger cohorts and a controlled group are recommended to confirm these results.

Insight into the physiological and molecular response of low light stress tolerance in rice
Authors: Haque M A , Sen A , Akter S E , Khan N A , Rahman M A , Tuhin K B M O F
Published: February 2025

Rice is a sensitive crop, and its growth is highly affected by abiotic stresses. Among the abiotic stresses, low light intensity is one of the most critical environmental elements influencing plant growth and development. It regulates plants development and production by determining photosynthetic rate and accumulative assimilation. Plants, on the other hand, are often exposed to excessive or insufficient light intensities, and such variations, commonly referred to as light stress, have an impact on their agronomic traits by restricting physiological metabolic processes such as photosynthesis, antioxidant machinery, and their ability to fix atmospheric carbon and nitrogen. Photosystem II (PSII) and its reaction centres are particularly vulnerable to these disturbances and have thus been identified as main targets of light stress at the physiological, biochemical, and molecular levels. This paper reviews  the response of low light levels on rice productivity and quality from morphological, physiological, biochemical, and molecular perspectives. We have attempted to present the advancements of molecular studies in this crucial field of low-light stress tolerance in rice. We also summarised the need for future research, emphasising the need for techniques that can effectively increase rice grain yield and quality in low-light conditions.

Authors: Hossen M A , Ahmad M , Islam M A , Rokonuzzaman M
Published: February 2025

An experiment was carried out at the BAU Germplasm Centre (GPC), Bangladesh Agricultural University, Mymensingh during February to May, 2021 to study the effect of bagging on fruit setting and fruit quality of different litchi germplasm. The experiment was laid out in a Randomized Complete Block Design with three replications of four litchi germplasms viz. Mongolbari, China-3, Bombai, Mozzafforpuri. Here replication number is represented by number of plants observed per variety. The data were recorded on number of fruit set per inflorescence, fruit dropping, fruit color, weight per fruit, TSS (% brix). At marble stage, bunch bagging was done with brown and white polypropylene bag and while the bunches were without bagging in control plants. Bunch bagging has significantly influnced on yield and yield contributing traits of litchi germplasms. The highest fruit setting was obtaining from the combination of Bombai litchi with brown polyethylene bag followed by Mongolbari with white polyethylene bag, while non-bagged China-3 obtained the lowest fruit setting. Mongolbari variety had highest TSS (18.65% Brix) in brown polypropylene bag treatments. Highest average fruit weight (21.15g) was found in Bombai variety on brown polypropylene bag treatment and lowest average fruit weight (12.83g) from China-3 variety on control treatment. Fruit color i.e. deep purple, moderate purple, deep red, pale yellow and no/less fruit cracking, no bird damage was found on bunch bagging treatment in fruit ripening of litchi which may add more consumer value of litchi fruit. Based on the study it can be concluded that as a good agricultural practices (GAP) brown polypropylene bunch bagging treatment was the best to reduced fruit dropping as well as increased the average fruit weight, fruit color and %TSS value of litchi fruit. Timely establishment of bunch bagging in litchi orchard is beneficial to ensure better fruit set, reduce fruit dropping, prevent insect infestation, reduce bird damage and better sugar content of litchi.

Published: February 2025

Mungbean is a popular pulse in the diet because it is easily digestible, free from flatulence and easy to cook. Besides as mungbean is a short duration crop, it can fit in as a cash crop between major cropping seasons. Considering the overall importance of mungbean an extensive field survey was conducted for the assessment of profitability, value addition and constraints to mungbean production in two southern coastal districts: Barishal and Patuakhali. The study revealed that few farmers of these areas used chemical as well as organic fertilizers. The total cost incurred for mungbean production was Tk. 51850 ha-1 of which 50% is variable cost and the remaining 50% was fixed cost. The average return was Tk. 54143 ha-1. The benefit cost ratio on variable cost basis was 2.09 but on total cost basis it was 1.04. Considering the variable cost per kg production cost was Tk. 24.62 but on total cost basis it was estimated at Tk. 49.05 per kg. Producer share was 66% for husked mungbean and for fried packed mungbean it was 19.8% only. Disease infestation, insect attack, uneven and heavy rainfall, flash flood, unavailability of cultivating machines and inadequate labour during harvesting were found to be the major constraints to mungbean production in the study areas.

Introduction: The presence of altered central pain processing and modulation, as well as negative psychological factors, have been suggested to impede recovery in chronic low back pain (CLBP). Psychologically-informed physiotherapy (PiP) aims to specifically address the latter factors—in addition to physical factors—to improve treatment effects. This study aims to determine if the effect of PiP is superior to usual physiotherapy (UP) on pain sensitivity and modulation in participants with CLBP and if changes in these variables were associated with changes in clinical outcomes.
Methods: Forty participants with CLBP were randomly allocated to PiP or UP. Seven physiotherapy sessions over 6 weeks plus a booster session at an 11-week follow-up were delivered. Pressure pain threshold (PPT), temporal summation of pain (TSP), and exercise-induced hypoalgesia were assessed on lumbar, upper, and lower limb sites at baseline and after 6 weeks. Linear mixed models tested if PiP was superior to UP on pain sensitivity/modulation. Linear regressions tested if pain sensitivity/modulation changes were associated with changes in clinical outcomes (pain intensity, physical functioning, symptoms of central sensitization).
Results: PiP was not superior to UP to modulate pain sensitivity/modulation variables. All PPTs increased after 6 weeks regardless of the approach. Lumbar PPT and lumbar and lower limb TSP changes were associated with physical functioning changes.
Conclusion: Although our study suggests that neither approach has a superiority to impact on pain sensitivity, both approaches elicited widespread hypoalgesia. Future powered trials should verify if pain sensitivity can be a mediator of physical functioning improvement, as suggested by our results.
Accuracy of Medical Terminologies Translated from English into Arabic: The Case of Audiovisual Shows

Published: February 2025

The global emergence of audiovisual (AV) shows has increased the demand for translation. The problem regarding AV materials (AVMs) in the medical genre is that medical English consists of a large number of specialised medical terminologies, which can cause a challenge for Arabic translators/subtitlers, especially in terms of translation accuracy. Although there are several references to the issues of translating specialised terminologies in AV translation studies, no light has been shed on the accuracy of medical terminologies translated from English to Arabic. This study investigates the accuracy of translated medical terminologies in selected AVMs and the factors affecting the accuracy levels in the AV setting. This research adopts a mixed approach of qualitative and quantitative analysis methods to assess the accuracy of 100 medical terminologies translated into Arabic. An eclectic model of analysis based on (2012) accuracy and readability aspects and Díaz-Cintas’s (2010) space constraints was used to reach the aims of the study. The results revealed that the average accuracy for all 100 terminologies scored 2.6 out of 3, falling within the accuracy range of 2.4–3 based on Nababan et al.’s (2012) accuracy score calculation (NASC). The aspect of accuracy in the AV setting was highly affected by other aspects—readability and space constraints—and both aspects were related to each other. Thus, the accuracy of translated medical terminologies will gain another notion matching the grounds of the AV setting, which is a hosting one. Accuracy here is affected by space constraints and the readability level of the audience.

Published: February 2025

Background

RNA-binding proteins (RBPs) have emerged as key regulators in testis development and spermatogenesis, yet a comprehensive understanding of their expression dynamics has been lacking.

Methods

This study leverages published single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) data to elucidate the complex expression patterns of RBP genes during postnatal testis development and spermatogenesis. Additionally, it uses bulk RNA-seq data to explore the regulatory impact of RBPs on alternative splicing (AS) in non-obstructive azoospermia (NOA).

Results

We have identified cell-specific RNA-binding protein (RBP) genes in various cell types throughout testis development. Notably, distinct RBP gene clusters exhibit significant differential expression, particularly in Sertoli cells as they mature from neonatal to adult stages. Our analysis has revealed temporally-regulated RBP clusters that correlate with the developmental progression of Sertoli cells and the advancement of spermatogenesis. Moreover, we have established links between specific RBPs and the pathogenesis of non-obstructive azoospermia (NOA) through the regulation of alternative splicing (AS) events. Additionally, RPL10, RPL39, and SETX have been identified as potential diagnostic biomarkers for NOA.

Conclusion

This research provided an in-depth look at RBP expression patterns during human testis development and spermatogenesis. It not only deepens our basic comprehension of male fertility and infertility but also indicates promising directions for the creation of innovative diagnostic and treatment methods for NOA.

Background

Endometriosis, a prevalent chronic gynecologic disorder, significantly impacts women’s health, with both genetic and environmental factors contributing to its heritability. Within the adaptive immune system, the NOD-like receptors (NLR) pathway plays pivotal roles in various autoinflammatory diseases, regulating interleukins, proinflammatory cytokines, and NF-κB activity. However, the potential association between single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) of the NOD1, NOD2, PYDC1, and PYDC2 genes and the predisposition to endometriosis risk remains unexplored.

Methods

In this cross-sectional study, 54 patients diagnosed with ovarian endometriosis and 54 control subjects were included. The genetic SNPs of NOD1 (rs2075820 and rs2075818) and NOD2 (rs104895461) were assessed using the PCR-RFLP (polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism) method. Additionally, the polymorphisms of PYDC1 and PYDC2 were evaluated using Sanger sequencing. After conducting polymorphism analysis, the genetic profiles were assessed with the clinical manifestations and the size of ovarian endometriomas, categorized as either small (<4 cm) or large (≥4 cm).

Results

Significant differences in the NOD1 rs2075820 (G: A) genotypes were found. The GG genotype was more prevalent in endometriosis patients (p = 0.04), while the GA genotype was less common (p = 0.029). The AA genotype was associated with higher rates of perimenstrual gastrointestinal symptoms (p = 0.005) and infertility (p = 0.037). The PYDC2 rs293833 variant was detected in 22.2% of patients. Carriers of this variant exhibited higher rates of perimenstrual gastrointestinal symptoms (p = 0.004), infertility (p = 0.001) and larger endometriomas (≥4 cm) (p < 0.001). No significant differences were found in NOD1 rs2075818 genotypes (p = 0.89) and no polymorphisms were detected in NOD2 or PYDC1 genes.

Conclusion

These findings emphasize the influence of genetic polymorphisms on the clinical manifestations of endometriosis. Specifically, gene polymorphisms in NLRs have been found to significantly impact infertility and increase endometrioma size.

Introduction

This study investigates the impact of HTLV-2 infection on small RNA (sRNA) expression profiles, building on previous findings related to HTLV-1.

Methods

Using Illumina Massive Parallel Sequencing, we analyzed sRNA profiles from asymptomatic HTLV-1 and HTLV-2 infected individuals and healthy controls.

Results

Our results reveal significant differential expression of 331 known and 441 novel sRNAs among the groups, including miRNAs, piRNAs, and tRNAs. Notably, distinct clusters of sRNA expression patterns were identified, with specific miRNAs showing significant upregulation or downregulation in HTLV-1 and HTLV-2 infections. Gene Ontology analysis indicated significant involvement of target genes in transcription regulation and RNA-binding processes, while KEGG pathway analysis highlighted enrichment in cancer-related pathways and signaling cascades such as FoxO, Ras, and MAPK. Network analysis identified key miRNAs, such as hsa-miR-20b-5p and hsa-let-7e-5p, as central regulators with extensive interactions, suggesting their potential role in the pathogenesis and immune response of HTLV infections.

Discussion

These findings provide a foundation for future research into the molecular mechanisms of HTLV infections and the development of targeted therapies. The identified sRNAs, especially important miRNAs such as hsa-miR-20b-5p and hsa-let-7e-5p, could serve as potential biomarkers for disease progression or as therapeutic targets to modulate the immune response and disrupt viral pathogenesis. This opens up new avenues for precision medicine in HTLV-associated diseases.

Objective

This study aimed to analyze the association between constipation and the urine albumin-to-creatinine ratio (ACR) using data from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) 2009–2010.

Methods

In this cross-sectional study, a sample of 4,282 adults aged 20 and older was selected from the NHANES 2009–2010. Constipation was defined as having fewer than three bowel movements per week. The average of the two ACR measurements was used as the outcome variable. Logistic regression models (non-adjusted and multivariate adjusted models) were used to examine the relationship between constipation and ACR. Subgroup and interaction analyses related to gender, age, smoking, alcohol consumption, body mass index (BMI), hypertension, and diabetes were also conducted to assess the stability of the association between constipation and ACR.

Results

In this study population of 4,282 individuals, 352 individuals with an ACR of 30 mg/g or higher were considered to have albuminuria. The prevalence of constipation was higher in the albuminuria group compared to the non-albuminuric group (6.4% vs. 3.5%, p = 0.002). The unadjusted model (Model I) showed an increased risk of ACR associated with constipation (OR 1.81, 95% CI 1.13–2.91, p = 0.014). After controlling for gender, age, race/ethnicity, marital status, and education level in Model II, the association between constipation and ACR remained significant (OR 2.20, 95% CI 1.34–3.60, p = 0.002). Upon further adjustment for BMI, smoking status, alcohol consumption, diabetes, hypertension, arthritis, asthma, coronary heart disease, liver disease, cancer, blood urea nitrogen (BUN), serum creatinine (Scr), uric acid (UA) and estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) in Model III, the positive association between constipation and ACR was still significant (OR 1.88, 95% CI 1.09–3.23, p = 0.023). Subgroup analyses, stratified by gender, age, smoking status, alcohol consumption, BMI, hypertension, and diabetes, showed no statistically significant interactions (p > 0.05).

Conclusion

In summary, this study found a positive association between constipation and urinary albumin excretion rate. The significant association between constipation and ACR highlights the need for clinicians to monitor urinary albumin levels in patients with constipation.
