Authors: Jamil Tariq , Iqbal Sana , Sandalakis Vassilios
Published: February 2024

Brucellosis is a serious disease that affects both animals and humans. It is caused by consuming unpasteurized dairy products that are contaminated with the Brucella bacteria. To study the pathobiology of this disease and develop preventive strategies, researchers rely on in vivo and in vitro models. A systematic literature search was conducted in January 2024, which revealed 38 studies that used these models in the previous four years. Mice were the most commonly used model for studying the disease's virulence genes, immune responses, vaccination, and treatment testing. Out of the 38 articles discussing infection models in brucellae, 6 used only in vivo models, 9 used only in vitro models, and 24 used both models. In addition, there were 32 studies with in vitro experiments, most of which utilized macrophages to study intracellular survival mechanisms and host-pathogen interactions. The studies mainly focused on B. abortus, as it had a significant impact on public and livestock health. Both in vivo and in vitro models were used to understand comprehensive intracellular mechanisms, immune responses, and treatment evaluations. However, there were several challenges in using these models, such as ethical concerns and host pathogen-specific immune responses. While both models provided important insights, the final selection choice of the model mostly depended on the research objectives, pathogen type, and availability of resources. Nevertheless, validation and understanding of these models are important to predict responses in the natural hosts

This study aims to determine the different types of foods and beverages that predominate in the channels of kid youtubers in Spain and the United States, which serve as a model for children’s nutritional habits. The study looked at a sample of 18 YouTube channels and 553 videos from a universe of 1551 videos. Four main conclusions have been drawn: there are significant differences depending on the origin of the channels, with a greater presence of oils, fats and meat in Spanish channels, and of cereals, chocolates, sugar and fruit in channels from the United States; in 60% of the videos, brands are being promoted (without appropriate identification), with statistically significant differences according to the country of origin; the main communication objective is a promotional objective, with differences according to country, being more educational/promotional in the United States and more focused on entertainment/promotion in Spain; and in 16% of cases, the children showed excessive or compulsive consumption —the videos do not appear to promote, in general, healthy nutritional habits.

Authors: Çınar Burak
Published: February 2024

The First World War was characterized by trench warfare, rendering infantry charges ineffective against integrated defence systems comprising barbed wires, rifles, machine guns, and howitzers. The introduction of new war machines, such as tanks and chemical weapons on the ground and aircraft in the air, reshaped the nature of warfare. Aircraft became imperative swiftly, and in the Second World War, it began to dominate warfare. In this article, the air war in the Second World War was discussed according to the rise and fall of the German air power after the theoretical developments mentioned in the first part. In the second part, the German air activities in early operations were explained. The third part was particularized to how the change in the air war on the extension and expansion of the war affected the German air power. The fourth part was on the strategic outcomes of the German attitude toward aviation technology. There are not strong claims made in this article; however, the interpretation of the subject aims to form the basis for further research.
