Authors: Vieira Carlota , Brito Lília , Vieira Tiziana , Duarte António Arsénio , Martins Ana Paula , Coelho José Luís
Published: September 2023

Introduction: Hand is an important structure for the performance of all Activities of Daily Living and for its perfect functioning it is necessary all its anatomical structures in complete harmony. Tendon injuries caused by agents such as glass and knives are very frequent in hand injuries and their sequelae generate incapacity for work performance and Activities of Daily Living. These are associated with lesions of the skin, nerves, and arteries. Anatomical knowledge of the hand is essential because lesions can progress to complex sequelae if not treated properly. Objective of the study: The objective of the present case study is to reflect on the intervention of Occupational Therapy in a hospital context with a patient submitted to tenorrhaphy of zone VII extensors, during a period of 13 consecutive weeks. Methods: It is intended to carry out a prospective case study of mixed analysis, in which a patient who performed OT at the Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation Service of the Centro Hospitalar Universitário do Algarve (CHUA) – Portimão Unit. Results: The treatment performed at the level of edema, scar, pain, muscle strength, range of motion and performance and satisfaction of the activities identified as significant by the patient, provided an improvement in the sensorimotor recovery of the extensors in zone VII of the hand with optimization of functional gains. Conclusion: The Occupational Therapy approach contributed to the patient's recovery, avoiding major complications and a faster and more favorable return to their usual activities. Although extensor tendon injuries are frequent, there is a lack of scientific evidence on the subject. Therefore, further studies in hand therapy, to validate the therapeutic techniques comparing the data with the existing ones, must be conducted.
State of accommodation and life expectancy: is there a relationship?
Authors: Rudkovska OD
Published: September 2023

The work of the visual analyzer is very energy-intensive for the brain. Ассommodation (the ability to scan for hazards at different distances) takes up a significant portion of brain resources. In the life expectancy curve, periods of increased risk of death coincide with periods of farsightedness during the development of the normal (emmetropic) eye - the first years of life and after 40 years. In case of farsightedness, the load on the accommodative apparatus is maximum (compared to other types of refraction), which exhausts the brain and the body as a whole. Therefore, after 40 years of age, in the conditions of body aging, the brain gradually turns off near accommodation (the lens loses its elasticity, the ciliary muscle - its efficiency). Excessively weakened accommodation is a trigger for age-related eye diseases (cataracts, glaucoma, macular degeneration). New surgical approaches to the treatment of these ophthalmopathologies based on the restoration of accommodation have been proposed. These surgeries may affect not only the quality of vision but also the life expectancy of patients.

Published: September 2023

Objectives: The recurrence of SUI after surgery with TO represents a frequent complication whose etiology has not been clarified. Our study aims to establish the SUI recurrence rate in patients operated on at our center as well as to analyze the possible factors associated with the risk of recurrence, during a 9-year follow-up. Methods: Prospective descriptive observational study, conducted at the Hospital Clínico Universitario de Valladolid, between January 2012 and March 2021, including 133 patients. Results: Our study describes a recurrence rate of SUI after TO of 12%, with a statistically significant relationship (p 0.009) between the year of postoperative follow-up and the risk of recurrence. The risk of recurrence at 9 years was related to advanced age, macrosomic delivery, and multiparity. Conclusions: We must identify those patients whose risk factors allow us to anticipate a torpid evolution, considering therapeutic alternatives, for example, in young women or who have not completed their reproductive desire.
Dynamics of Figurative-Stylistic Evolution of Solo Arrangement of the Folk Song (From «Zharty, kokhannya, lyubov ta zhenykhannya» / «Jokes, Love and Marriage» to «A my nashu slavnu Ukrayinu rozveselymo!» / «We Will Cheer Up Our Glorious Ukraine!»)

The article highlights the dynamics of the movement of artistic thought of the Ukrainian community in 1900–1918 on its way to the first attempt to form its own independent state. The data is provided on the settlement and number of Ukrainians in the specified period is intended to show a large-scale panorama of the development of the most common genres of music making in everyday life, because the universally recognized feature of the Ukrainian mentality as cordocentric already conditioned the desire for artistic self-expression, music and singing. The author’s attention is focused on the genre of arrangement Ukrainian folk songs for voice with instrumental accompaniment, which created a powerful folklore wave associated with the trends of increased national self-determination and democratization of the aesthetic foundations of Ukrainian art. The policy of the russian tsarist culturists of that time was aimed at spreading the so-called «Little russian surrogate» – encouraged the publication of artistically inferior songs that had humorous, entertaining, love-sentimental, burlesque or frankly vulgar content. However, the purposeful patriotic activity of such artists as M. Lysenko, K. Kvitka, K. Stetsenko, O. Koshyts, B. Yanovsky, Yа. Stepovy, F. Kolessa, O. Nyzhankivskyi, D. Sichynskyi, S. Charnetskyi caused a significant evolution of the genre of solo arrangement and raising it to the high level of a vocal miniature / romance, defined by the purely Ukrainian musical term «solospiv» ≈ «solosиng». The evolutionary growth significantly affected the topic of the genre, when songs of civic pathos, full of pride for the heroic past and the desire for national self-determination and statehood, began to gain national popularity.
Graves of the early medieval nomads from the eastern Azov region
Authors: Sokolov Pavel , Gulyás Bence
Published: September 2023

Described and discussed here are the “nomadic” burials of two sites, Serbin and Udarnyi (Krasnodar Krai, Russia). A total of four graves were found at the former Serbin site, while an early medieval grave dug into a prehistoric kurgan was excavated at Udarnyi. The burials broadly date from the fourth–seventh centuries AD on the basis of their poor grave inventories and are culturally related to the so-called post-Hunnic- and Sivashovka-type burials. Three burials contained the skulls and limbs of various domestic animals, indicating that the animals had been skinned. “Head and hooves” deposits were quite common in early medieval Eastern Europe. There are several different traditions of skinning, indicating different cultural traditions. The study describes the burials and their finds, and presents their regional parallels.

PARDOS LETRADOS EM SOCIEDADES ESCRAVISTAS: EDUCAÇÃO E MUDANÇA DE STATUS SOCIAL (AMÉRICA PORTUGUESA E CARIBE ESPANHOL, C.1750-1807)
Authors: Souza Priscila de Lima
Published: September 2023

Resumo Este artigo discute a relação entre o letramento e o status social dos pardos livres na América portuguesa e no Caribe espanhol ao longo da segunda metade do século XVIII e primeiros anos do século XIX. Em decorrência da mácula da escravidão, os pardos ocupavam um lugar social subordinado, sendo acometidos por leis excludentes e estigmas. Objetiva-se compreender o impacto do letramento na sua capacidade de qualificar os pardos ao exercício de funções sociais mais valorizadas, como os ofícios de escrivão, notário e tabelião. Para além dos efeitos materiais, sugere-se que o letramento influía no status social por dotar os pardos de maior capacidade de resistência aos preconceitos e restrições legais impostas ao grupo e inseri-los de modo particular nas relações de poder coloniais.
“NA REAL PRESENÇA DE VOSSA MAJESTADE”: AS PETIÇÕES ULTRAMARINAS E A GOVERNAÇÃO COLONIAL (SÉCULO XVIII)
Authors: Fernandes Renata Silva
Published: September 2023

Resumo O objetivo deste artigo é examinar o mecanismo peticionário como modalidade particular de comunicação política entre os vassalos do ultramar português, em especial da América Portuguesa, e o monarca, a partir de seu Conselho Ultramarino. Pretende-se perscrutar os vários usos das petições e seus enquadramentos nas lógicas governativas da colonização enquanto canal institucional amplo, multifacetado e dinâmico de relacionamento entre as pessoas e o poder régio sediado em Lisboa. Considerando as potencialidades analíticas da reconstituição ordenada do circuito petição - forma de tramitação - resposta, parte-se do corpus documental tutelado pelo Arquivo Histórico Ultramarino, cotejando tanto a documentação peticionária propriamente dita, na forma dos Avulsos, como os circuitos decisórios plasmados nos livros de registro da instituição (Códices). Em um primeiro momento, é feita uma análise discursivo-formal das petições. Em seguida, as dinâmicas jurídico-institucionais de tratamento e a resposta das petições das partes são discutidas, a partir dos Livros de Registro de Provisões do Conselho Ultramarino. A principal hipótese defendida é a de que as petições e suas vias de tramitação e resposta sinalizam práticas de governança, modelos de submissão e formas de controle nem sempre explicitados pela historiografia ou consideradas como meramente protocolares. Elas são, não obstante, reveladoras das práticas institucionais do complexo organizacional régio português em suas relações com as sociedades coloniais.
ENTRE GRAÇA E DIREITOS: APONTAMENTOS SOBRE COMO ENTENDER AS PETIÇÕES NA AMÉRICA PORTUGUESA (SÉCULO XVIII)
Authors: Slemian Andréa
Published: September 2023

Resumo O objetivo do artigo é problematizar como entender as petições no universo português, por meio de uma discussão historiográfica sobre o “estado da arte” do tema nas últimas décadas, o que se justifica em razão de sua centralidade, bem como das principais mudanças ocorridas nos seus usos no século XVIII. Defende-se que estudar os caminhos que tais demandas tomavam é fundamental para compreender de modo mais sistemático o seu conjunto. Além disso, ampliam-se as possibilidades de pensá-las tanto a partir das múltiplas ações e grupos sociais, como do coevo reconhecimento acerca do que eram direitos. Sem a ambição de ser exaustivo, o texto pretende contribuir para a discussão das potencialidades da análise das petições, primeiramente, a partir de estudos atualmente considerados fundamentais para a compreensão das petições no mundo moderno, na interseção entre história e direito. Em seguida, o artigo concentra-se na experiência colonial da Ibero-América, em especial no caso dos tribunais e Conselhos, defendendo que há uma experiência conjunta entre ambas as monarquias que faz com que a historiografia para a América espanhola - bem mais extensa em relação à lusa - ilumine a compreensão da América portuguesa.
Memórias que urgem nossa (re)existência: Eu sou macuxi e outras histórias de Julie Dorrico
Authors: Félix Regina R.
Published: September 2023

Resumo Este ensaio examina o livro Eu sou macuxi e outras histórias de Julie Dorrico como uma auto-história de sobrevivência inserida nos atuais estudos literários dos povos originários que crescem a partir dos anos 1980 e 1990, propiciados pela resistência indígena que confronta o poder do Estado brasileiro, mais assiduamente desde os anos 1970. A ficção de Dorrico é também considerada no âmbito tanto da produção da forte tradição intelectual e filosófica indígena atual, progressivamente mais visível, presente e empoderada, como também de seus próprios artigos como pesquisadora e doutora em teoria literária. O ensaio mostra que a narrativa poética de seu livro toca em questões político-culturais ligadas aos campos de produção cultural e literário brasileiros, bem como demonstra afinidade com metodologias teóricas das pesquisas indígenas no território americano como um todo. Mostra que o trabalho intelectual de Dorrico é indissociável da prática de resistência política e, portanto, cultural e socialmente vital para todos os povos originários americanos.

Authors: Sousa Felipe Almeida de , Debona Gilvan Lunz , Silva José Guilherme Santos da
Published: September 2023

Abstract This work aims the assessment of the dynamic structural response of reinforced concrete floors subjected to rhythmic human activities, based on the use of biodynamic models, in order to consider the people-structure interaction effect. Initially, an experimental modal analysis on the investigated floor , with dimensions of 16m x 35m, was performed, in order to identify and assess the global dynamic behaviour of the structure. In sequence, a finite element model was developed and calibrated through experimental results. After that, based on forced vibration analyses, the floor dynamic response was determined (displacements and accelerations). It is concluded that the biodynamic systems modelling induced significant attenuations on the structural response when compared to those calculated based on the use of traditional “only force” models.

Authors: Quinteros V. S. , Fannin R. J.
Published: September 2023

The durability of geogrid reinforcement exhumed after 25 years from a sloped wall structure was examined through a comparison of the material properties of exhumed samples with technical data for the original product type. Visual and microscopic inspections found no evidence of installation damage. Analysis of strain increments in rapid loading creep tests to 10 000 h showed excellent agreement between the exhumed and original materials. The results of this study lend confidence in the use of isochronous load–strain–time data for predicting the long-term strain of geosynthetic-reinforced soil structures in design to a serviceability limit state.

Published: September 2023

Los conflictos armados contemporáneos son el resultado de la evolución de miles de años en la práctica de una actividad humana que ha generado tanto aportes al desarrollo de la humanidad, como terribles tragedias que han demostrado la brutalidad de la guerra. A pesar de esto, se ha podido constatar que, como consecuencia de las guerras, la humanidad ha podido avanzar en la construcción de un marco legal que ayude a la mitigación de esta, y al mismo tiempo, a la construcción de herramientas que ayuden a consolidar la paz universal. Sin embargo, los actores bélicos han continuado con la evolución de esta llegando al punto de desestabilizar a sus objetivos sin tener que utilizar los métodos tradicionales de enfrentamiento. Por tal motivo, el propósito de esta investigación es determinar cuáles son los medio y métodos de los actores contemporáneos en contexto de Guerra Híbrida frente al Derecho Internacional Humanitario-DIH. El enfoque metodológico de la investigación es cualitativo, utilizando como herramienta primaria el análisis teórico y bibliográfico, desencadenando en la examinación de tres casos de estudio para la consecución del objetivo. El principal hallazgo de la investigación es determinar que los medio y métodos de la confrontación han cambiado drásticamente imposibilitando, en gran medida, el principio de distinción en el marco del DIH. En este punto, el documento aporta a que existe un espacio vacío en el marco del DIH frente a este tipo de enfrentamiento, limitando el propósito de este.

Published: September 2023

A qualitative study approach was used to explore the factors affecting rural women’s involvement in physical activity in Ghana. Most prior research has been done in African urban areas thus, neglecting the rural areas. Purposive sampling and a semi-structured interview method were used to interview nine women aged 40-60 years living in three rural areas in the central region of Ghana. The interviews were conducted by phone, translated, transcribed, and then coded using NVivo software package. The constant comparative method was used to analyze the data. The data presented eight enablers and five barriers to physical activity involvement for rural Ghanaian women. Findings revealed that rural women get a fair amount of physical activity from their traditional occupations, household chores, and community involvement but lack involvement in organized physical activity for leisure and fun. By introducing rural women to more varied physical activity options, they could gradually replace the physical activity they traditionally gain from their livelihood as they begin to age out of them in middle adulthood.

Published: September 2023

The distribution of mangrove plants is influenced by various factors, including the physical characteristics of the soil. The study was conducted to determine the physical characteristics of the soil in the mangrove ecosystem in Bone Bay, Palopo City. Soil sampling was performed using the purposive sampling method in five points with three replications based on the equations of growth and density of mangrove vegetation. Physical characteristics of the soil sample, including texture, color, permeability, bulk density, and soil porosity, were analyzed in the laboratory. The results showed that the dominant soil textures were squirming and sandy loam. The dominant soil color was very dark gray. Soil permeability is high and belongs to the fast criteria, with the highest value of 20.0 cm/hour at the fourth depth point of 0-30. The highest bulk density at the fourth depth point is 31-60 cm, with a value of 0.81 gr/cm3. At the same time, the porosity of the soil is classified as a high or good criterion, with the highest value found at the third depth point of 0-30 cm with a value of 77%. In the future, soil physical characteristics data can be used as preliminary information or databases for the government to organize and preserve mangrove forests.

Published: September 2023

The objective of this study was to evaluate and compare the effects of Twin Block and Forsus on the Posterior Airway Passage (PAP) and Posterior pharyngeal wall Thickness (PPWT) in the treatment of Class II division 1 malocclusion.

This was a 2-arm parallel, randomized controlled trial. A total of 24 Class II division 1 malocclusion patients indicated for treatment with functional appliances were randomized and equally divided among Twin Block and Forsus (3M Unitek Corp, Monrovia, Calif) groups. Skeletal changes, PAP changes and PPWT were compared using Twin Block and Forsus. Block randomization was determined by a computer-generated random number table. Blinding was performed for both participants and data analyser. 24 patients were analysed and statistical analysis were carried out using Student’s t-test and T test of Equality of Means (P <0.05).

Significant increase in oropharyngeal and hypopharyngeal dimensions with no dimensional changes of nasopharynx, dimensional changes in soft palate thickness and length, and decompensatory action in thickness in the posterior pharyngeal wall was seen with both the appliances. On intergroup comparison insignificant results were observed between both the appliances indicating similar effect on PAP and PPWT.

Both Twin Block and Forsus are effective in improving PAP and PPWT while correcting Class II malocclusion.

Published: September 2023

One of the primary challenges Filipino teachers face in the United States is the adjustment to a new culture. The adjustment process can be overwhelming, and the teachers may face cultural shock and feel isolated as they navigate the American education system. Working in a different culture can also provide Filipino teachers with opportunities for professional growth and development. Thus, the researcher wanted to learn more about the challenges faced by Filipino international teachers in the United States and how they dealt with them. This study aimed to explore and determine Filipino teachers' experiences, coping strategies, and challenges living and teaching internationally. This study utilized qualitative research to design a term for various approaches to and methods of analyzing natural social life. The study’s participants were the ten (10) Filipino teachers currently living and teaching in the United States of America, specifically in Arizona. They are a J1 or H1B visa holder. Three (3) male and seven (7) female informants participated in the study. This study employed a semi-structured interview to gather pertinent information from the participants. Thematic analysis is a research method that involves identifying, analyzing, and reporting patterns or themes within data. In this qualitative study, the researcher utilized in-depth interviews using open-ended questions as primary tools for data collection. From the interview of ten participants, their experiences gave way to four emerging themes with 11 subthemes, which showed how they struggled, coped, learned, and planned as they stayed in Arizona, USA. Filipino educators frequently encounter opportunities abroad that come with challenges they must overcome. Adapting to a new situation is only sometimes straightforward, which presents obstacles for these educators.

En el presente trabajo de investigación se estudia si la acreditación de los colegios, mediante el modelo EFQM, incide en los resultados de las pruebas Saber 11, para lo cual de desarrolla una metodología con un enfoque evaluativo. Se analizan estudios relacionados con la incidencia de los estándares de calidad en la gestión y desempeño académico de instituciones educativas. Se parte de la información de los resultados de las pruebas de estado de una población de 10.696 instituciones educativas (colegios) acreditadas y no acreditadas de Colombia, cuyos estudiantes presentaron las pruebas Saber durante los años 2016, 2017 y 2018. Luego a través de pruebas estadísticas se contrastan las diferencias en los resultados por cada competencia de conocimiento evaluada, seguidamente se implementa un modelo de regresión logística para validar el pronóstico de clasificación de un colegio con acreditación en EFQM utilizando variables académicas. Los resultados muestran que los colegios acreditados bajo el modelo EFQM, presentan sostenidamente mejores resultados en todas las competencias evaluadas, además el modelo de regresión logística presentó una capacidad de predicción de un colegio acreditado de 76.27%. El componente genérico de inglés es el más importante en las pruebas de acuerdo con los resultados obtenidos, la calidad en la educación de las instituciones evaluadas, de educación secundaria y media académica, se ve muy reflejada en el desempeño que tenga dicha institución en este componente.

Amaç: Anesteziye bağlı morbidite ve mortalite nedenlerinden bir tanesi zor ve/veya başarısız entübasyondur. Havayolu muayenesinin zor havayolu (ZH) varlığını öngörmedeki rolü bilinmekle birlikte, ameliyat öncesi dönemde bu amaçla kullanılan testlerin özgüllüğü yüksek, ancak özgünlüğü düşüktür. Bu çalışmada, genel anestezi altında cerrahi tedavi uygulanacak komorbiditesi yüksek bir hasta popülasyonunda, preoperatif havayolu değerlendirmesi ile öngörülen ve öngörülemeyen zor havayolu olgularını belirlemek, karşılaştırmak ve zor entübasyon için olası risk faktörlerini ortaya koymak amaçlanmıştır.

Gereç ve Yöntemler: Jinekolojik onkoloji cerrahisi için genel anestezi uygulanan, 18 yaş ve üzeri, toplam 162 hasta prospektif olarak çalışmaya dahil edildi. Preoperatif havayolu incelemeleri sonrasında; Basitleştirilmiş Havayolu Risk İndeksi (Simplified Airway Risk Index: SARI)’ne göre, ZH öngörülen ve öngörülemeyen olgular belirlendi. Endotrakeal entübasyon sonrasında Entübasyon Zorluk Skalası (Intubation Difficulty Scale: IRS)’na göre entübasyonu zor olan ve olmayan olgular gruplandırıldı, ZH’na neden olan etmenler ortaya konuldu

Bulgular: SARI’ya göre toplam 162 hastanın 32’si (%19,75) ZH öngörülen, 130’u (%80,25) ise ZH öngörülemeyen olarak değerlendirildi. Entübasyon sonrasında IRS’ye göre 59 (%36,4) olguda zor entübasyon varlığı kayıt edildi. Boyun uzunluk ölçümü (p60 yaş; p=0.006) ve kronik hastalık varlığında (p=0.032) ZH ile karşılaşılma ihtimalinin arttığı da izlendi.

Sonuç: Bu çalışma ile preoperatif hasta değerlendirmesinde kullanılan Mallampati skoru, boyun uzunluk ölçümü, tiromental mesafe ve ön kesici dişlerin uzun olmasının ZH varlığını etkileyen en önemli etmenler olduğu gösterilmiştir. Ameliyat öncesi dönemde yapılacak özenli havayolu muayenesinin ZH yönetimi için planlama yapılmasına olanak sağladığı düşünülmektedir.

Aortic aneurysm (AA) is one of the most formidable cardiovascular diseases, characterized by subtle clinical manifestations and a high risk of complications. Predisposing factors in the development of AA are age, arterial hypertension (HTN), atherosclerosis, and inflammatory aortic diseases. Those are associated with changes in vascular stiffness. HTN causes increased tension in the aortic wall when the pulse wave of blood pressure (BP) rises in patients with AA. Indicators of central BP and vascular stiffness are of particular interest. They present as independent risk factors for cardiovascular events but are poorly studied among patients with AA. The purpose of the review is to summarize the ideas about the relationship of AA with the indicators of vascular stiffness and central hemodynamics in patients with non-operated AA, as well as after endovascular AA repair. Here we discuss the predictive accuracy and applicability of individual markers concerning AA progression and surgical treatment outcomes, as well as unresolved issues and prospects for further research.
Manifestations of Public and Self-Stigma of Physical Disability: A Scoping Review in Rehabilitation and Disability Research
Authors: Ju Hyun-Ju , Harley Debra , Miller-Rankin Jennifer
Published: September 2023

As physical disability exists globally and stigma is prevalent, the need for research on the stigma of physical disability is identified in the fields of rehabilitation and disability studies. This study conducted a scoping review for analyzing the manifestations of stigma on people with physical disabilities using Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses guidelines. Search terms were used with three electronic databases (Pub-Med, ERIC, and Psyc-INFO) for peer-reviewed rehabilitation and disability journals published from 2000 to 2020 time frame. A total of 683 records were identified, of which 146 were duplication and 413 were excluded by title and abstract, and 124 full-text articles were assessed for eligibility. The final number included was 3 quantitative studies and 8 qualitative synthesis studies for a total of 11 studies. This study revealed that the stigma related to people with physical disabilities is a global issue, and stigma appeared in various settings of society (e.g., education, workplace, rehabilitation and sexual health care, and the benefit system). Public stigma usually appeared related to physical image and the presence of a wheelchair, and most of the studies related to self-stigma were in the stage of recognizing the public stigma, and there were also responses to the public stigma to aim for opportunities for coping and change. Awareness of stigma led to negative psychosocial well-being such as depression, self-efficacy, and quality of life. Future researchers should consider cultural differences and specific types of physical disabilities.
Review of 6PPD-quinone environmental occurrence, fate, and toxicity in stormwater
Authors: Nicomel Nina Ricci , Li Loretta Y.
Published: September 2023

The antioxidant N-(1,3-dimethylbutyl)-N?-phenyl-p-phenylenediamine (6PPD) is widely used to improve the durability of rubber. However, one of its transformation products, 6PPD-quinone (6PPD-Q), was recently found to be toxic. Herein, we aim to provide a comprehensive understanding of 6PPD-Q ecological and human-linked toxicity to facilitate the preparation of robust and specific environmental standards and policies. We reviewed 6PPD-Q environmental occurrence, fate, and toxicity originating from stormwater runoff and summarised its origin and environmental shaping conditions. Stormwater runoff was found to be the main driver in introducing 6PPD-Q into the environment. 6PPD-Q detection in roadside soils and other vehicle-related environments indicates that vehicle tyres are the major source of this compound; its presence in the soil can contaminate plants, thereby entering the food cycle. 6PPD-Q air concentrations were higher at roadside sites than at secluded building sites. Nevertheless, the mechanisms underlying 6PPD-Q toxicity and their relationship to various environmental factors, other contaminants, and removal technologies remain unknown. Addressing these gaps can help raise 6PPD-Q environmental risk awareness and facilitate development innovations to mitigate 6PPD-Q-linked risks.

Honey is a staple food of animal origin, with many beneficial properties, so the study of consumption and purchasing habits is an important issue. The main aim of our research is to present the market situation and conditions of the domestic beekeeping sector from the consumer's point of view. We considered it appropriate to present the beekeeping market because the European Union is the second largest honey producer in the world and Hungary is the largest honey producer in the EU. Thus, global and EU trade changes, market trends and changes in consumer habits are significant factors influencing the domestic situation. The market situation is presented through a review of the relevant domestic and foreign literature, and statistical databases (EU Member States' honey programmes, KSH, OMME, Statista databases and reports) are analysed. The research aims to find out the direction of honey consumption and purchasing patterns and trends in European honey consumption. We chose an online questionnaire survey method to assess consumption and purchasing habits in Hungary and present the results in comparison with similar Hungarian studies. To analyse the situation in Europe, we have collected and analysed relevant research reports, primary and secondary studies from several EU countries. Finally, the data from each country are compared, highlighting similarities and differences.
