IZGRADNJA KATOLIČKIH SAKRALNIH OBJEKATA U DOBA KOMUNIZMA I DANAS – PRIMJER GRADA OSIJEKA
Authors: Brekalo Miljenko , Lukić Anamarija , Stipić Ivan
Published: November 2024

Nakon što je 29. studenoga 1945. proglašena Federativna Narodna Republika Jugoslavija (FNRJ), grad Osijek imao je samo tri katoličke župe u kojima se odvijao bogat liturgijski i pastoralni život. Broj župa je već prije Drugoga svjetskoga rata bio duboko ispod pastoralnih potreba gradskoga područja, a ta je potreba naročito došla do izražaja kada se gradu pripojilo selo Retfala (1948.) te posebno od kraja 1950. godine kada se Osijek počeo naglo širiti. Longitudinala grada, kao osječki specifikum, znatno je povećavala potrebu za cijepanjem jedne župe u više manjih. Značajna poteškoća bila je, međutim, nedostatak i nemogućnost izgradnje prikladnih sakralnih objekata. Do preokreta je došlo tek nakon 1968. kada se u modernom, socrealističkom stilu počelo graditi pet novih župnih crkava, pod strogim nadzorom režima. Osim tih pet, osnovane su još tri nove župe, no one su sve donedavno djelovale u neprikladnim objektima, tj. adaptiranim obiteljskim kućama iako je nakon sloma komunističkoga režima nestalo pritiska vlasti na djelovanje Crkve. Autori su analizirali izgradnju i održavanje osječkih (katoličkih) sakralnih objekata od 1945. do 2017. godine, njihovo financiranje, funkcionalnost i iskorištenost te usporedili situaciju za vrijeme komunističkoga režima i nakon njega. Njihovo se istraživanje temelji ponajprije na izvorima u osječkim župama – spomenicama i župnim kronikama.

Smart Mirror: Real-Time Try-On Experience Using Deep Learning Models
Authors: Ruchita Bhogi  , Rambabu Bade  , Hari Krishna Bhupathi  , Uday Teja Bantu
Published: November 2024

The Virtual Try-On project is designed to revolutionize the online shopping experience by leveraging cutting-edge deep learning models to enable users to virtually try on clothing and accessories. This innovative system requires users to upload a full image, allowing it to accurately capture their size and generate realistic visualizations of how garments fit from multiple perspectives, including front, back, and side views. This project addresses one of the biggest challenges in e-commerce ensuring customers can see how clothes will look and fit before making a purchase. Unlike physical try-on sessions, the virtual approach offers greater convenience, saving time and effort while providing flexibility to try on multiple outfits without any physical limitations. Moreover, this promotes a more sustainable shopping model by significantly decreasing return rates. This benefits everyone, as fewer returns mean reduced shipping costs and lower environmental impact. By bridging the gap between physical and digital shopping experiences, the project sets a new standard in online fashion retail, making it more efficient, environmentally friendly, and customer-centric.
Intergenerational and Cultural Parent-Child Protective Factors against Depressive Symptoms in Filipino-American Adolescents
Authors: Torres Ainsley
Published: November 2024

The developmental years of adolescence are key to shaping an individual’s identity as they explore their place in the context of different communities they are a part of. Immigrant children may have a unique development of culture and identity because the environments between home and school may differ. Mental health is influenced by the interplay of their relational environment and individual development. The stigma surrounding mental health within the Filipino-American community can contribute to this environment. This can be challenging to balance within the Filipino-American community due to stigma surrounding mental health. Given the colonial mindset from historical contexts, strong filial ties, and mental health disparities within Filipino-American communities, in addition to the lack of disaggregated research done, it is beneficial to further delve into factors that can affect their mental health. Using data from the Children of Immigrants Longitudinal Study, this paper uses a cultural microsystems model and a colonial mentality model to examine questions about depression. This paper explores what intergenerational factors within parent-child relationships serve as protective factors against depressive symptoms in Filipino-American adolescents and how cultural identities and values interact with these symptoms. Analysis of the data using chi square tests and bivariate correlation regression analyses found the following protective factors against depressive symptom incidence: parental pride for country of birth; viewing the American way of life as strengthening the family; a cohesive family unit; less intergenerational conflict; and parental active listening. These results suggest that cultural and ethnic identity can be protective, if they are not causes of intergenerational conflict. This research supports the need for culturally sensitive mental health interventions as cultural and ethnic identity can have beneficial, grounding qualities that can meet patients where they are.
Understanding the Needs and Experiences of Spiritual and Religious Clients Seeking Mental Health Counseling
Authors: Christiano Alexander
Published: November 2024

Currently, mental health clinicians lack training in spiritual and religious competence, while counseling psychology research does not give adequate attention to the spiritual and religious concerns of clients seeking mental health counseling. In order to improve the quality of mental healthcare, I argue for more research and training to better understand clients’ spiritual and religious needs. I review existing approaches to mental healthcare that integrate spirituality and religion, then outline my own survey- and interview-based research. My study assesses clients’ levels of religiosity and spirituality, discovers the role of spirituality and religion in their mental health, and finds out their experiences working with mental health clinicians. My data indicates that spiritual and religious interest often intersects with defining life events, such as traumatic experiences and existential crises, and that mental health clinicians should be better prepared to understand the role of spirituality and religion to support clients’ psychological and spiritual health.
Algorithms and the "Anti-Preference": A Quantitative Investigation of “Reaching the Wrong Audience” on TikTok
Authors: Doyle Owen Alinsangan
Published: November 2024

This paper provides an empirical hypothesis test and partial verification of the “algorithmic folk theory” of “reaching the wrong audience.” This user folk theory claims that content posted to TikTok can sometimes become sequestered to a hostile audience, resulting in a sharp influx of harassment and oppositional comments. To test this theory, this paper employs a graphical analysis to identify trends in interaction rates, comments over time, and comment sentiment. The data collected consisted of 1,455 posts and 454,540 comments, which were then evaluated using a natural language processing (NLP) sentiment analysis tool for a total of 297,009,882 effective observations of viewer sentiment response. Using this data, this paper employs a time-series analysis to identify a “resurrecting” post behavior characterized by a sudden increase in engagement of an otherwise “dead” TikTok post as far as ten months after the content’s initial post date. Further, the findings highlighted how this “resurgent behavior” would commonly occur when the sudden influx of engagement contained either distinctly positive or negative comment sentiment. These findings suggest the existence of “audience sentiment sequestering,” explained as the algorithmic restriction of viewership to a specific audience type and a core mechanism of the user folk theory of “reaching the wrong audience.” Lastly, this paper proposes a new theoretical algorithmic phenomenon, the anti-preference theory, to explain why automated algorithmic decision-making may cause a user’s content to “reach the wrong audience” and remain stuck there. This theory suggests that the recommendation algorithm implemented on TikTok is impartial to the positive or negative sentiment of a viewer’s comment but still susceptible to the user’s propensity to comment. In conjunction, these traits can cause the recommendation algorithm to “misinterpret” a user’s negative comment as a successful recommendation for that viewer. This “misinterpretation” can create a feedback loop, where the recommendation algorithm will show the content to other hostile users with similar “anti-preferences.” Expectedly, this hostile audience would share a similar high propensity to leave hostile comments of their own, thus restarting the loop. From the content creator’s side, the anti-preference phenomenon can appear as a sudden and seemingly systematic increase in hostile comments, similar to the experiences described within the “reaching the wrong audience” folk theory.
Developing Marketing Strategies Through Social Media Platforms: An Analysis of Social Media’s Impact on Consumer Behavior
Authors: Büyükköz Dilara , Güven Elif
Published: November 2024

Social media, which holds an important position not only in daily life but also in business, is now seen as one of the most suitable channels for marketing. Regardless of the sector, companies build their marketing strategies around social media platforms, which are more accessible and cost-effective, and promote their products or services through these channels. These platforms, which have significant positive effects on customer and brand communication, provide benefits for both companies and consumers. In this context, understanding which types of social media content resonate with customers is a crucial step toward achieving success. Considering the growing importance of social media, this study seeks to explore how businesses create and develop marketing strategies using social media platforms, as well as examine the impact of these platforms on consumer behaviors.

To this end, a survey was conducted with a total of 305 participants from different demographic groups, asking them about their frequency of internet and social media use, online shopping habits, preferred social media platforms, and how these platforms influence their purchasing decisions. The data obtained from these responses was analyzed using the SPSS software package. The analysis showed that while pre-purchase and post-purchase consumer behaviors vary by gender, only post-purchase behaviors vary by age. On the other hand, both pre-purchase and post-purchase behaviors are not affected by educational status, monthly income, or occupation. Additionally, a significant positive correlation was found between pre-purchase and post-purchase consumer behaviors on social media.

Published: November 2024

A exposição excessiva da gengiva durante o sorriso, conhecida como sorriso gengival, pode gerar insatisfação estética nos pacientes. Diversas técnicas cirúrgicas estão disponíveis na periodontia para corrigir esse problema, sendo a gengivoplastia a laser uma das opções mais eficazes. Este estudo tem como objetivo avaliar a gengivoplastia a laser como técnica de correção estética em pacientes com hiperplasia gengival, condição que provoca o aumento excessivo do tecido gengival e compromete a exposição adequada da coroa clínica, prejudicando a harmonia do sorriso. A gengivoplastia a laser tem se destacado por sua precisão e menor invasividade em comparação com métodos convencionais, proporcionando melhores resultados estéticos e uma recuperação mais rápida para o paciente. O procedimento é indicado em casos de aumento gengival sem a presença de doenças periodontais, o que garante maior segurança e previsibilidade no tratamento. Foram discutidas as indicações, contraindicações e os benefícios gerais da gengivoplastia à laser no contexto da saúde e estética periodontal. Conclui-se que, quando bem indicada, a gengivoplastia a laser é uma alternativa eficiente para a correção de alterações estéticas gengivais, contribuindo significativamente para a satisfação do paciente e a melhora da qualidade de vida.

Authors: Gomes Victor Carrera , Arikawa Marina Ayumi Simão , Salame Lucas Alberto Athias , Moreira Júlia Azman , Araújo Isadora de Souza
Published: November 2024

Esta revisão de literatura reuniu livros da medicina e artigos publicados preferencialmente em inglês, espanhol, francês e português nos últimos cinco anos nas base de dados PUBMED e SciELO com o objetivo principal de revisar o diabetes autoimune latente do adulto (LADA), indicando seu diagnóstico, tratamento, além de suas principais complicações. O LADA é uma forma de diabetes que compartilha características dos tipos 1 e 2. Ele se apresenta em adultos com autoimunidade, mas inicialmente pode ser confundido com diabetes tipo 2. O LADA é causado pela destruição autoimune das células beta pancreáticas, levando à deficiência de insulina. Fatores genéticos e ambientais contribuem para o desenvolvimento do LADA. O diagnóstico envolve a detecção de autoanticorpos, como o GADA, e a avaliação da função das células beta. O tratamento inclui mudanças no estilo de vida, medicamentos orais e terapia com insulina, quando necessário. O manejo do LADA visa preservar a função das células beta, controlar os níveis de glicose no sangue e prevenir complicações. A pesquisa continua explorando novas terapias, como imunoterapias, para retardar a progressão da doença. Embora o LADA apresente desafios diagnósticos e terapêuticos, o reconhecimento precoce e o manejo adequado podem melhorar significativamente os resultados para os pacientes.
Multiple Equilibrium Configurations in River-Dominated Deltas
Authors: Durante Lorenzo , Tambroni Nicoletta , Bolla Pittaluga Michele
Published: November 2024

Abstract. The morphological evolution of river deltas is a complex process influenced by both natural forces and human interventions. As hubs of human settlement and economic activity, deltas face unique challenges that necessitate integrated management strategies to balance development with ecological sustainability. This study investigates multiple equilibrium states within deltaic systems, revealing key internal feedback mechanisms between delta branches through a novel theoretical model tailored to river-dominated delta channels. Focusing on the Po River Delta as a case study, we analyze equilibrium variability and identify potential avulsion sites. These findings provide a valuable framework for predicting future shifts in deltaic morphology and supporting adaptive management strategies.
µID-TIMS: spatially resolved high-precision U–Pb zircon geochronology
Authors: Markovic Sava , Wotzlaw Jörn-Frederik , Szymanowski Dawid , Reuteler Joakim , Zeng Peng , Chelle-Michou Cyril
Published: November 2024

Abstract. We present a novel methodology for spatially resolved high-precision U–Pb geochronology of individual growth domains in complex zircon. Our approach utilizes a multi-ion-species (Xe+/Ar+) plasma focused ion beam (PFIB)–femtosecond (fs) laser system equipped with a scanning electron microscope (SEM). This system enables micrometer-resolution sampling of zircon growth domains with real-time monitoring by cathodoluminescence SEM imaging. Microsamples are then extracted, chemically abraded, dissolved, and analyzed by isotope dilution thermal ionization mass spectrometry (ID-TIMS) to obtain high-precision U–Pb dates. For its superior beam precision (∼ 8–20 µm diameter), cleaner cuts, and negligible nanometer-scale damage imparted on the zircon structure, PFIB machining (30 kV) is preferred for microsamples of sizes expected in most future studies focusing on texturally complex natural zircon (20–120 µm length scales). Femtosecond laser machining is significantly faster and therefore more appropriate for larger microsamples (>120 µm length scales), but it is also coarser (≥20 µm probe size), produces rougher cuts, and creates a micrometer-scale-wide structurally damaged zone along the laser cuts (i.e., 2 orders of magnitude wider compared to PFIB). Our experiments show that PFIB machining can be conducted on zircon coated with carbon and protective metal coatings as neither offset the U–Pb systematics, nor do they introduce trace amounts of common Pb. We used a Xe+ PFIB and femtosecond laser to obtain U–Pb dates for Mud Tank and GZ7 zircon microsamples covering a range of sizes (40 × 18 × 40–100 × 80 × 70 µm) and found that microsampling does not bias the accuracy of the resulting µID-TIMS U–Pb dates. The accuracy and precision of µID-TIMS dates for zircon of any given age depend, as for non-microsampled zircon, on the available mass of U and radiogenic Pb – both a function of sample size. Our accompanying open-source code can aid researchers in estimating the necessary microsample size needed to obtain accurate dates at precision sufficient to resolve the processes under study. µID-TIMS bridges the gap between conventional bulk-grain high-precision dating and high-spatial-resolution in situ techniques, enabling the study of the timescales of a variety of processes recorded on the scale of individual growth zones in zircon. This method can be applied to zircon of any age and composition, from terrestrial systems to precious samples from other planetary bodies.
System design and scaling trends for airborne wind energy
Authors: Joshi Rishikesh , von Terzi Dominic , Schmehl Roland
Published: November 2024

Abstract. So far, the size of horizontal axis wind turbines (HAWTs) has steadily increased, but recent studies and market decisions suggest that this trend may come to an end. Airborne wind energy (AWE) is an innovative technology that differs from the operating principles of HAWTs. It uses tethered flying devices, denoted as kites, to harvest higher-altitude wind resources. Kites eliminate the need for a tower but introduce a penalty in power generation since the kite has to spend part of its aerodynamic force to counter its weight. The differences between the two technologies lead to different scaling behaviours, and understanding these and the design drivers of AWE systems is essential for developing this technology further. To this end, we developed a multi-disciplinary design, analysis and optimisation (MDAO) framework which employs models evaluating the wind resource, power curve, energy production, overall component and operation costs, and various economic metrics. This framework was used to design fixed-wing ground-generation (GG) AWE systems based on the objective of minimising the levelised cost of energy (LCoE). The variables used to define the system were the wing area, aspect ratio, tether diameter and rated power of the generator. The framework was employed to find optimal system designs for rated power ranging from 100 kW to 2000 kW. The results show that kite mass, energy storage, and tether replacements are the key LCoE-driving factors. Moreover, in contradistinction to HAWTs, the total lifetime operational costs are equal to or higher than the initial investment costs. This distribution of costs over the project’s lifetime, rather than as a large upfront investment, could make it easier to secure project financing. The scaling results show that the LCoE-driven optimum lies within the 100 kW to 1000 kW system size. The reason for this is that the kite mass penalty increases the cut-in and rated wind speeds, reducing the capacity factor of the larger systems. Sensitivity analyses with respect to extreme scenarios considering technological advancements, financial uncertainties and environmental conditions show that this optimum is robust within our modelling assumptions.

Free Speech and the Case for Regulating Online Reviews of Professional Services in the United States
Authors: Pate Richard L , Schapsis Claudio
Published: November 2024

The relevance of online reviews to businesses is increasing exponentially. Firms have been forced to recognise that online reviews have become a necessary method of attracting new consumers. In contrast to traditional advertising, however, businesses do not control online reviews; instead, individual consumers control them. The involuntary relinquishment of this control is especially problematic to providers of professional services simply because the assessment of professional services is complicated. The primary issues stem from the inherent characteristics of services – intangibility, variability, perishability and inseparability – combined with the asymmetry in the review process. These factors contribute to a significant imbalance, where negative reviews disproportionately impact businesses, often with minimal accountability for the reviewer. This disparity is exacerbated by the permanence and widespread dissemination of online reviews, which can continue to affect a business long after the initial issue has been resolved. Notwithstanding their defective nature and their very significant negative impact on individuals and markets, online reviews are afforded the status of protected free speech. This article argues that the traits of reviews of professional service specifically resemble those of the non-rebuttable type of speech included in the categories of unprotected speech. As such, this article argues that online reviews of professional services should be regulated to safeguard the reputation and livelihood of professionals from unscrupulous, undiscerning reviewers.

Published: November 2024

O presente estudo objetiva apresentar os resultados parciais do projeto de pesquisa intitulado “Os pontos turísticos do município de Jaguariaíva e o ensino de Geografia: a problematização por meio das práticas espaciais”. Neste manuscrito, discorremos sobre os resultados da investigação de um local de interesse turístico: a Casa da Cultura. O propósito central do projeto é problematizar os pontos turísticos do município de Jaguariaíva, Brasil, por meio da análise das práticas espaciais cotidianas exercidas nesses lugares em tempos e espaços múltiplos. Posteriormente, propomos maneiras de correlacionar os conteúdos da Geografia identificados a partir da análise das práticas. A metodologia de pesquisa adotada é qualitativa, fundamentada no paradigma indiciário e na micro-história de Ginzburg (1989). Para a realização das análises, foram examinados documentos como processos de tombamento, fotografias e entrevistas. No contexto da educação geográfica, problematizamos os temas identificados durante a análise e os inserimos no “percurso didático” discutido por Cavalcanti (2019). Os resultados apontam para uma relação entre o micro e o macro nos conteúdos geográficos escolares e para uma ampla gama de possibilidades de inserção das práticas observadas em sala de aula. Assim, as contribuições deste estudo podem auxiliar os professores de Geografia de Jaguariaíva e região em suas aulas, colaborando para uma maior autonomia docente no que se refere à construção do conhecimento e para um aprendizado mais significativo para os estudantes do Ensino Básico.
Gestión de la información, herramientas tecnológicas y formación docente: aportes a la enseñanza de la Geografía
Authors: Joo-Nagata Jorge
Published: November 2024

El desarrollo de la web ha derivado en nuevos procesos educativos y el desarrollo de nuevas perspectivas para la enseñanza de la Geografía. Desde los paradigmas clásicos como son el elearning, el TPACK o la Enseñanza 3.0 se realiza una búsqueda y reflexión de cómo estos procesos tienen su influencia no solo en la Geografía, sino también en el desarrollo social de la educación, con nuevos paradigmas de búsqueda, análisis crítico y reacción a la información digital. Lo anterior lleva al desarrollo, ya con procesos analíticos, a la creación de conocimiento, en procesos de enseñanza y aprendizaje que se vuelven altamente dinámicos, complejos y que traen consigo nuevas adaptaciones y desafíos para la sociedad del siglo XXI. Se concluye con la idea de esta tercera etapa de evolución de la Web la que ha tenido consecuencias, no solo en lo social y las implicancias en el desarrollo de la información, sino que también sus consideraciones en la Educación y particularmente en la Geografía.

Como é o seu trabalho no ensino de Geografia? O que os professores consideram relevante quando respondem essa questão? É possível identificar elementos teóricos da Didática da Geografia ou do conceito de conhecimento escolar (Geografia escolar) nas respostas dos professores? Esses questionamentos são abordados no texto, por meio da análise qualitativa de narrativas produzidas por professores de Geografia da Educação Básica. As bases teóricas são os princípios da teoria histórico-cultural sobre o pensamento humano e as produções acadêmicas da Didática da Geografia. Os resultados indicam que a Geografia escolar é concebida pelos professores, no contexto de sua ação na mediação didática, com ênfase no cotidiano e nas demandas sociais dos alunos, bem como na condição curricular e estrutural da escola. A reflexão dos professores sobre seu trabalho no ensino de Geografia, tem como referência o contexto situado de sua prática, princípios teóricos relacionados à Didática da Geografia e o contexto sócio-histórico mais amplo da educação escolar.
How do Chile and the UK approach post-hospitalisation care for elderly patients?
Authors: Reardon Laura Jayne
Published: November 2024

An aging population is a common trend across the globe and as such it is important to consider how our healthcare systems are adapting to respond to this change. This article considers post-hospitalisation care for the elderly populations in Chile and the United Kingdom. It looks at how the United Kingdom’s focus on community support differs from Chile’s focus on rehabilitation services, and comments on areas such as funding and accessibility, integration of services, use of technology, and community support. Each country faces a variety of challenges and opportunities, and an understanding of which, could be beneficial to future health care professionals, providing us with a better insight into the populations we will be treating and the roles which we will be stepping into after graduation.
Ohmn: Android Malware Detection Method using Opcode Highway Memory Network
Authors: M.Karthika, M.Anusha
Published: November 2024

In recent times, there has been a notable trend among Android malware to prioritise fast replication, hence expediting the acquisition of critical data. Adversaries have the potential to introduce hazardous modifications to code via the act of replicating it. In this research, we propose a deep learning-based network"Opcode highway memory network" (OHMN) that may detect variants of malware that are connected to one another without needing the analyst to have a background in mathematics or methodology.Input data may be standardised using sequence patch normalisation, and features can be discovered with truth interference fuzzy clustering by employing software birthmarking of malcode sequences. Once malware samples have been grouped together, the data is passed to the OHMN process, which searches for various types of malware. Malware detection on Android has been proved to work successfully in both experimental and observational settings. The Mal Radar dataset, an android malware dataset retrieved from zenodo in a python environment, was used for these tests.   The simulation results demonstrated that the suggested method outperformed the state-of-the-art technique.

Published: November 2024

With the exception of the high areas of the Oltenia mountains, vines are cultivated in all localities, from the Danube to the Parâng mountains, from the charming Porti de Fier to the legendary Olt river. It is cultivated on small and scattered areas in all the provincial villages, but it is not absent from the eaves of the houses, bringing them a unique architectural charm in the country. The wine plantations concentrated in the vineyards and wine centers are the ones that ensure the production of good quality grapes from which the famous red, white and aromatic wines of superior quality are obtained. The vineyards and wine centers of Oltenia are geographically located in the five counties (Mehedinți, Gorj, Dolj, Olt and Vâlcea) where, under the influence of different environmental conditions, they offer the chance to obtain practically all types and categories of wine.
PERFORMANCE EVALUATION OF OLD VINE VARIETIES IN THE CONTEXT OF ECOPEDOCLIMATIC CHALLENGES AT INCDBH ȘTEFĂNEȘTI, ARGEȘ
Authors: Bănuță Florina Mădălina , Stan Ramona , Ciobotea Cristina-Magdalena
Published: November 2024

This scientific paper analyzes the agrobiological and technological characteristics of the old autochthonous ancestral grapevine varieties, focusing on the specific ecopedoclimatic conditions of the Ștefănești vineyard, Argeș, in the context of contemporary climate challenges. The study conducted in 2024 at INCDBH Ștefănești examined five distinct varieties: Ardeleanca, Coada oilor, Galbenă uriașă, Gordan, and Coarnă neagră. Advanced analytical techniques were applied to assess fertility, facilitating a thorough understanding of agrobiological dynamics. Additionally, technological variables reflecting productivity, yield, and the biochemical traits of the grapes were investigated. The results obtained highlight a significant variability in phenotypic responses, emphasizing the resilience of these ancestral varieties in the face of climatic stress. The correlations identified between analytical characteristics and sensory traits emphasize their relevance in shaping effective strategies for sustainable viticulture. This paper aims not only to rejuvenate interest in the native viticultural heritage but also to promote the integration of these ancestral varieties into the contemporary viticultural landscape, thereby contributing to the development of viable solutions that meet the sustainability requirements of the wine industry.

Published: November 2024

Climate changes have considerably influenced the evolution of the thermal and water regime annually and during the growing season in the viticultural ecosystem of the Odobești vineyard. The use of drought-resistant rootstocks for grafting is one of the solutions to counteract this extreme phenomenon, which is increasingly present in the wine-growing areas of southern Moldova. The present paper presents preliminary results regarding the grafting affinity of the ʹVranceaʹ white wine grape variety created at RDSVO Odobești, on three rootstocks with drought tolerance obtained in the Romanian viticultural research (Drăgășani 70). M.′, ′Crăciunel 71 Bl.′, ′Ruggeri 140 Vl.′). The rootstock ′Berlandieri x Riparia Sel.Oppenheim 4 –4 Bl.′, was taken into the study as a control. The obtained results show a good and very good grafting affinity of the Vrancea variety on the ′Ruggeri 140 Vl.′ rootstock

Authors: Simion Enuță , Popoviciu Dan Răzvan , Doroftei Elena
Published: November 2024

Safflower cultivar CW 4440 was grown on two different water regimes: non-irrigated, and full-dose irrigated. Achenes were harvested and taken for biochemical analyses.They were found to contain low amounts of carotenoids, 2.38-4.38 mg/kg, with notable amounts of lutein and minor concentrations of xanthins. All carotenoids, except for cryptoxanthin, reached their highest values in irrigated plants, while β-carotene was found in detectable amounts only in irrigated plants. Phenolic inventory, on the other hands, was high compared to known data in literature: 40,627-44,574 mg/kg. Of these, hydroxycinnamic acids were dominant, with 26,023-28,233 mg/kg (63-64%). Flavonoids reached 11,854-13,201 mg/kg (29-30%), including a major fraction of flavanols (1,469-1,595 mg/kg). Stilbenes were another major component, with 2,516-2,750 mg/kg. All the highest values were found in irrigated plants.Oil content ranged from 6.1% in non-irrigated plants to over 11.7% in irrigated ones. Ascorbic acid content was low (349-756 mg/kg), while soluble sugars were 1,731-2,508 mg/kg.The concentrations of all these compounds, except for cryptoxanthin, were positively correlated to water dosage. The most affected by irrigation regime were carotenoids, ascorbic acids and oil. The least influenced were phenolic compounds.
