Seeds of Peganum harmala L. have been traditionally used in Algerian medicine. This study investigates whether the antioxidant, antihemolytic, and anti-inflammatory activities of Peganum harmala extracts (PHE) are attributed to polyphenolic compounds, which are abundant in methanol, chloroform, and ethyl acetate extracts.
Extraction and fractionation of polyphenols involved solvents with different polarities, resulting in a crude extract (CrE), a chloroform extract (CHE), and an ethyl acetate extract (EAE). The antioxidant potential of CrE and its fractions was assessed using the ferrothiocyanate (FTC) and thiobarbituric acid (TBA) assays. The inhibition of mice erythrocyte hemolysis was evaluated for methanol, chloroform, and ethyl acetate extracts in the presence of the oxidant (AAPH). PMA-induced mouse ear edema was used as an in vivo model for inflammation.
The FTC assay demonstrated the strong antioxidant effect of CrE (87.64 ± 0.003%). EAE showed potent antioxidant activity with low MDA absorption levels. Assessment of antihemolytic effects against AAPH-induced oxidative hemolysis revealed significant protective effects of CrE and EAE, with EAE showing the most pronounced effect. In the in vivo model, CrE (100 mg/kg) exhibited substantial anti-inflammatory activity, inhibiting the ear edema. Computational analyses using molecular docking simulations showed that chlorogenic acid, hesperetin, and rutin have promising potential as inhibitors of COX-2 protein, which is a key component in inflammatory pathways.
This study highlights the potent antioxidant properties of P. harmala, particularly in CrE, and its anti-inflammatory effects. The bioactive compounds, such as chlorogenic acid, hesperetin, and rutin, exhibit potential as anti-inflammatory agents. P. harmala could be a valuable natural source for potential medical applications, suggesting the need for further exploration in medical treatments.

In this work, lignocellulosic biomass, namely, Opuntia ficus indica cords (OFIC), was selected as a renewable resource for the production of activated carbon. The preparation conditions of chemically activated carbon (AC) samples were the following: activation temperature – 600 °C, heating rate – 10 °C min-1, activation time – 60 min, and OFIC/H3PO4 impregnation ratio – 1/2. The properties of OFIC and activated carbon were determined by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), Boehm’s method, and pHzpc. AC showed heterogeneous surface and acidic characteristics with a pHZPC of 2.61. OFIC and AC were used as adsorbents to remove the anionic dye Red Bemacid (RB) from aqueous solutions. OFIC was used as a reference for comparison with the prepared AC. The results showed that the experimental data fitted very well with the pseudo-second-order nonlinear model of both adsorbents, with 120 min as equilibrium time and the nonlinear isotherm models of three parameters (Sips and Redlich-Peterson isotherms) were selected as the best fitting ones. The thermodynamic parameters indicated that the adsorption process was spontaneous and endothermic for the AC/RB dye system.

Transculturality of Virtue in the Early Modern Mediterranean
Authors: Wodzicki Luc
Published: June 2024

This article approaches the transculturality of virtue ethics in early modern Mediterranean intellectual culture by focusing on the case study of Florentine-Ottoman relations during the reign of Sultan Mehmed II. It examines how both entities, though drawing from different intellectual traditions and interpretations of virtue, engaged in a constructive dialogic process that facilitated diplomatic and cultural exchanges. To Florentine humanists, using virtue ethics with the Ottoman court allowed the framing of political actions as ethical conduct. To the Ottomans, it permitted an intellectual integration of the Florentines into the nizam-ı alem. This reveals how Mediterranean actors developed deep intellectual structures, which endowed their actions and encounters with culturally specific yet transculturally significant meanings. As an analytical concept, I argue, transculturality is not about portraying an overly rosy picture; it is a process that helps us better understand the multidimensionality of Mediterranean intellectual culture without imposing cultural boundaries where none exist.

Objective: To evaluate symptoms, lung function, and quality of life of a cohort of patients hospitalized for severe COVID-19 12 months after hospital admission. Methods: This was a cross-sectional study. We included severe COVID-19 survivors hospitalized in one of three tertiary referral hospitals for COVID-19 in the city of Belo Horizonte, Brazil. Participants were submitted to lung function and six-minute walk tests and completed the EQ-5D-3L questionnaire. Results: The whole sample comprised 189 COVID-19 survivors (mean age = 59.6 ± 13.4 years) who had been admitted to a ward only (n = 96; 50.8%) or to an ICU (n = 93; 49.2%). At 12 months of follow-up, 43% of patients presented with dyspnea, 27% of whom had a restrictive ventilatory disorder and 18% of whom presented with impaired DLCO. There were no significant differences in FVC, FEV1, and TLC between the survivors with or without dyspnea. However, those who still had dyspnea had significantly more impaired DLCO (14.9% vs. 22.4%; p < 0.020) and poorer quality of life. Conclusions: After one year, survivors of severe COVID-19 in a middle-income country still present with high symptom burden, restrictive ventilatory changes, and loss of quality of life. Ongoing follow-up is needed to characterize long COVID-19 and identify strategies to mitigate its consequences.

Хронический стресс является одним из факторов риска развития атеросклероза и ишемической болезни сердца. Цель данного исследования заключалась в оценке влияния хронического стресса на атеросклеротический процесс и функциональное состояние сердечно-сосудистой системы.
В исследовании приняли участие 120 пациентов в возрасте от 45 до 65 лет с различными формами хронического стресса. Оценка уровня стресса осуществлялась с помощью стандартизированной шкалы PSS (Perceived Stress Scale). Для оценки степени атеросклероза использовали метод интима-медиа толщины сонных артерий, а также определяли уровень сердечных биомаркеров в крови.
Результаты показали, что уровень хронического стресса коррелировал с толщиной интимы-медии сонных артерий и концентрацией hsCRP и тропонина I в сыворотке крови. Кроме того, была выявлена взаимосвязь между степенью выраженности стресса и нарушением таких показателей функции сердца, как ЧСС и АД. Таким образом, данное исследование подтвердило влияние хронического стресса на развитие атеросклероза и функциональное состояние сердечно-сосудистой системы.

Authors: Diedus V.
Published: June 2024

The family Endomychidae is a moderately large group of small to medium-sized beetles with worldwide distribution and maximum diversity in tropical and subtropical regions, which includes about 1,600 species in 90 genera, 9 subfamilies (Shockley et al., 2009; Robertson et al., 2015). Of these, 7 species are known from the territory of Ukraine, of which 5 species occur in the Ukrainian Carpathian region (Nowicki, 1865; Roubal, 1936, Mateleshko, 2002, 2005, 2009; Mateleshko & Chumak, 2006; Mateleshko & Roshko, 2006; Mateleshko & Lovas, 2010; Chumak et al., 2015; Koval, et al., 2018; Diedus et al., 2021) and three species are known from the Sumy, Kharkiv, Kherson provinces and the Crimean Autonomous Republic (Drogvalenko, 1999). Representatives of the family are mainly mycophagous. The most common habitats are fungi, rotten wood and fungus-infested bark. Many species live in leaf litter and decaying plant debris, where they feed on mold and fungi. The collection of the State Museum of Natural History, National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine (SMNH) presents 58 specimens of the family Endomychidae, belonging to 4 species and 4 genera, as follows: Dapsa denticollis (Germar, 1817) – 3 spec., Endomychus coccineus (Linnaeus, 1758) – 29 spec., Lycoperdina succincta (Linnaeus, 1767) – 21 spec., Mycetina cruciata (Schaller, 1783) – 5 spec. The illustrated catalogue of these species is given below, the species being listed in an alphabet order. The collection material has originated from the western part of Ukraine and southern part of Poland and was collected during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Most of the material was collected from the western part of Ukraine, and is presented in the collection by three species: D. denticollis, E. coccineus and L. succincta from Roztochchia georegion (Lviv (Holosko, Kryvchytsi, Znesinnia, Snopkiv), Yamelnia, Ivano-Frankove); E. coccineus from Male Polissia (Radvantsi); two species from Opillia – L. succincta (Bartativ, Zubra) and E. coccineus (Prybyn). Only one species, E. coccineus, is known from the Cisparpathian Upland (Kolomyia, Sadzhawka) where it was collected in early 20th century (15.06.1902; 23.05.1901). Regarding the material collected from the territory of Poland, 4 specimens of two species are available in the SMNH collection: E. coccineus (Kraków, Rabka-Zdrój, Szymbart) and L succincta (Sztutowo). In addition to the main museum collection, the four above-mentioned species are contained in the collection of A. Stöckl: one spec. D. denticollis from Serbia, collected by Reitter; 5 spec. E. coccineus from the western part of Ukraine (Lviv, Riasne, Ivano-Frankove); 3 spec. L. succincta: one spec. from Poland (Konskowola), two – from Ukraine (Ivano-Frankove, Lviv); and 2 spec. of M. cruciata collected in Ukraine (Pistyn). Other specimens of this collection lack information on the collectors.

Coral reefs boast one of the planet’s most diversified ecosystems, serving as an essential source of food and revenue for millions of people while providing shelter to a wide variety of marine creatures. However, overfishing, pollution, climate change, and other factors collectively pose an escalating danger to coral reefs. Therefore, coral reef restoration efforts are urgently needed to save corals. In this study, we exploited 3D printing technology based on vat polymerization to fabricate artificial coral plugs, expediting the reef restoration process while minimizing labor costs. We have developed a scalable model through the photoinitiated polymerization of an eco-friendly resin composed of modified soybean oil and calcium carbonate which has the potential to significantly enhance global restoration efforts. Material characterization demonstrated that the printed scaffold was highly cross-linked. Based on cytotoxicity analysis, the printed scaffold exhibited excellent cell adhesion and proliferation characteristics. The coral microfragmentation experiment showed initial signs of coral settlement on the printed coral plugs. This work demonstrates that plant-based material and vat-polymerization-based 3D printing techniques hold promise for coral restoration.
Spring wetland flora inventory ? Dinosaur National Monument: Survey report (revised)
Authors: McBride Wendy , Kesonie Dave , Thorn Emily
Published: June 2024

This report provides the results from the 2021 spring wetland flora inventory for the west side of Dinosaur National Monument in Utah. In total, seven National Park Service units within the Northern Colorado Plateau Network (NCPN) determined the need to evaluate and map spring and wetland condition based on the presence/absence of perennial obligate and facultative wetland plant species known to occur in the parks. Mapping spring and wetland areas for each park provides a baseline measure of areas sensitive to drying that can be used to monitor change over time. The overall objective of the project was to establish a baseline for the area and condition of wetlands, seeps, and springs to provide supporting evidence for any future claims of impairment resulting from groundwater management actions.

Survey results at Dinosaur National Monument identified and inventoried springs at 26 of 58 survey sites. This report summarizes the results at the 26 sites, including spring type identification, dominant herbaceous plant species present, average plant cover, wildlife sign frequency and observation, and wetland feature map figures.
Enhancing PHGMS performance for recovery of ultra-fine ilmenite from tailings

Published: June 2024

In southwest China, the Panzhihua area annually produces about 80 million tons of tailings with a TiO2 grade of around 5.0%, which causes serious waste of titanium resources as well as environmental and safety issues. The ilmenite contained in these tailings is ultra-fine in size, so it is difficult to recover under the regular operating conditions of pulsating high gradient magnetic separation (PHGMS). In this study, an SLon-100 PHGMS separator was applied to concentrate an ultra-fine titanium tailing under a wide range of operating conditions. The experimental results indicated that a combination of high pulsating frequency, large pulsating stroke, and low feed velocity was favorable for the highly efficient recovery of ultra-fine ilmenite from the tailings. The TiO2 grade in the optimal concentrate was enhanced from 4.33% to 13.64%, at a recovery of 66.55% and an enrichment ratio of 3.15 through a one-stage PHGMS process. The size analysis of the optimal concentrate showed that the TiO2 recovery in -25+18 µm and -18+10 µm fractions exceeded 70%. To further understand this PHGMS performance, the optimal ultra-fine ilmenite and larger-size ilmenite concentration conditions were compared. This study provides a valuable reference in the PHGMS operation for recovering ultra-fine weakly magnetic minerals, including ilmenite.
