Immunotherapy in patients with the first type of hypersensitivity to Hymenoptera venoms
Authors: Jovanović Dragana , Perić-Popadić Aleksandra
Published: May 2023

Hymenoptera venom allergy (HVA) is an anaphylactic reaction that occurs after the sting of Hymenoptera insects: honeybee (Apis mellifera), wasp (Vespula vulgaris) or hornet (Vespa crabo). Hymenoptera insects can cause IgE-mediated hypersensitivity reactions in insect-sensitized patients, ranging from local to severe systemic reactions and even fatal anaphylaxis. Systemic allergic reactions (SAR) after Hymenoptera insect stings have been reported in up to 7.5% of adults and up to 3.4% of children. They can be limited to the skin or cause severe reactions such as dizziness, dyspnea, nausea, and loss of consciousness, shock, cardiac or respiratory arrest. Patients with HVA are advised to carry an emergency kit consisting of an epinephrine auto-injector (AAI), H1-antihistamines and corticosteroids depending on the severity of the previous SAR. The only treatment that can potentially prevent SAR is immunotherapy with the appropriate venom (VIT). Venom immunotherapy (VIT) has been reported to be effective in 77%-84% of patients treated with bee venom and in 91%-96% of patients treated with wasp venom. The latest European Academy of Allergy and Clinical Immunology (EAACI) guidelines provide evidence-based recommendations for the use of VIT. It is recommended in children and adults who are hypersensitive to the venom because it leads to a significant improvement in quality of life-compared to wearing an adrenaline auto-injector. By receiving increasing doses of venom over 3 to 5 years, VIT leads to a change in the immune response and tolerance to the respective venom. Molecular diagnostics, which uses recombinant allergens, enables detection of true sensitization and thus improves the selection of appropriate venom for long-term VIT. This review aims to provide information on immunotherapy recommendations, as well as risk factors for SAR during and after VIT.
Physical activity during pregnancy: Benefits and global recommendations
Authors: Rovčanin Marija , Vujčić Isidora , Janković Svetlana
Published: May 2023

Physical activity (PA) has a crucial role in the prevention of noncommunicable diseases on a global scale. Regular PA leads to the enhancement of numerous health aspects by improving numerous physiological, metabolic, and psychological parameters. It is one of the crucial preconditions for much of human health needs, particularly for the reproductive-aged population and pregnant women. During pregnancy, PA has a beneficial impact not only on the well-being of the pregnant mother but also on the health of the baby. There are presently no official national guidelines regarding PA during pregnancy in Serbia, so we advocate for and adhere to the worldwide norms. The widespread agreement is that every woman, excluding those with certain clinical or antenatal contraindications, should engage in PA throughout their pregnancy. While formatting the recommendations, particular attention was placed on the duration of exercising, the number of days per week an activity is performed, a subjective measure of how hard PA feels to a person while doing it (subject perceived exertion), the sort of PA that is suggested, but also those that should be avoided, as well as techniques for supervision with clearly defined indicators that indicate the need to discontinue a certain activity. It has not been effectively established via initiatives meant to enhance the general health of a population of Serbian pregnant women, one of the most susceptible demographic groups. Moreover, in Serbia, there have not been enough studies on the impacts and advantages of exercising during gestation, and neither is there any consensus on the best way to counsel expectant mothers during their pregnancies. Future research should be required to design and promote PA programs for expectant mothers, in an effort to prevent pregnancy difficulties, by outlining the significance and advantages of leading an active lifestyle during pregnancy and keeping track of attitudes and behaviors linked to health. Regarding the physiological changes associated with pregnancy, modest physical exercise during gestation should be promoted and strongly recommended.

Authors: Hrastinski Iva , Bonetti Ana , Hedjever Mladen
Published: May 2023

Aim. This study aimed to determine the prevalence of auditory processing difficulties in children and to examine possible relationships between auditory processing skills and school success. Method. In this study, a screening test Auditory processing disorder - (Croatian: PSP - 1) was used to determine the prevalence of auditory processing difficulties in elementary school children in Croatia. Furthermore, correlations between screening test, grade point average, and subjective assessment scores for reading, writing, and math were analyzed. A total of 412 participants from mainstream schools were grouped based on their chronological age and grade. Results. The findings revealed that 12 (approximately 2.9%) participants exhibited difficulties in the assessed auditory processing tasks, which is consistent with data from other studies indicating that between 2% and 5% of children have an auditory processing disorder. Specifically, the two auditory tasks involving dichotic listening proved to be the most challenging for all participants. The results indicated that students' academic performance, as measured by grade point average and teachers' ratings of students' academic and language skills, was poorer in students having pronounced auditory processing difficulties when compared to their same-grade peers. Teacher ratings were significantly correlated with screening test scores, whereas students grade average was not. Conclusions. The analysis also revealed that screening total scores were significantly positively correlated with teachers' ratings of students' reading, writing, and mathematical skills. These skills also correlated highly with students' average grades. These findings corroborate the notion that auditory processing deficits are inversely correlated with academic achievement, warranting further research into the diagnosis and management of Auditory processing difficulties.
Migration and livelihood of rural households in Nigeria
Authors: Adepoju Abimbola , Adewole Oluwakemi , Olanitori Olanrewaju
Published: May 2023

With agriculture being the main source of livelihood, migration has posed severe constraints, thus hampering the livelihood of many households. This research focused on the effects of migration on the livelihood of rural households in Nigeria. Descriptive statistics, Probit and Tobit regression models were the analytical tools employed. Most of the households were male-headed and two-thirds of the rural households had members who had migrated for at least six months. Internal migration was the predominant type of migration while rural households were found to have a low level of livelihood. Age, education, household size, type of employment, land access, type of dwelling, migrant status and physical assets were significant in determining livelihoods of rural households. Thus, lessening the rural-urban divide in the rural areas through public-private partnerships in terms of innovations to support and expand the livelihood possibilities of rural households at all levels of governance should be prioritized.

Authors: Kljajić Nataša , Vuković Predrag , Arsić Slavica
Published: May 2023

In paper are presented the derived research results on raspberries production in the Republic of Serbia, at total and by regions. Research results are clearly showing that raspberries are dominantly grown in Šumadija region and Western Serbia (around 84.8% of raspberries from Serbia are produced there). Mentioned region offers optimal conditions for raspberries production, in terms of microclimate characteristics, soil potential and available water resources. In recent years, raspberries production has been intensively expanding to those areas where it has not traditionally been cultivated until now. This refers primarily to the Region of Vojvodina, while existing and new plantations are also being expanded in the region of Southern and Eastern Serbia. Serbia is ranked among the largest producers and exporters of raspberries worldwide. The largest part of raspberry production in Serbia is exported as frozen to the global market, but mostly to the market of Western Europe. Almost negligible part of produced raspberries is exported as fresh. Purchase price of raspberry has been increasing in previous period, giving the additional motivation to producers to intensify production, or invest in it.
Control biológico del salivazo (Mahanarva andigena) en caña de azúcar (Saccharum officinarum) con Metarhizium sp. (Fungi: Ascomycota: Clavicipitaceae)
Authors: De la Cruz Wilfrido , Cajilema Wilson
Published: May 2023

El uso de insecticidas químicos causa daños al medio ambiente y a la salud del hombre, por lo que este estudio caracterizó y evaluó cepas nativas de hongos para el control biológico del salivazo, el homóptero Mahanarva andigena, en la caña de azúcar, Saccharum officinarum. Las cepas nativas del entomopatógeno Metarhizium sp. procedían de tres sectores cañeros del cantón Pastaza, y se desarrollaron en dos medios de cultivo, Papa Dextrosa Agar (PDA) y Sabouraud Dextrosa Agar (SDA) con 10 repeticiones. La cepa C1 del sector Las Américas alcanzó mayor crecimiento a las 624 horas, con 7,80 y 8,00 cm de diámetro en las cajas Petri. Las diferencias morfoculturales encontradas entre cepas del entomopatógeno se atribuyen a los medios de cultivo y probablemente a la existencia por comprobar de diferentes especies de Metarhizium. La cepa C1 se aplicó a las plantas de caña de azúcar (795 plantas) infestadas con salivazo en un diseño completamente al azar con 5 réplicas, y se determinó la efectividad biológica de la cepa aplicando tres titulaciones en el campo: 2,8x107, 4,8x107 y 1,1x108 conidios/ml. Se obtuvo un mejor resultado con la titulación de 1,1x10 8 conidios/ml con una efectividad del 90,95% con dos dosis de aplicación a intervalo de 8 días. Se sugiere que la cepa de Metarhiziuim originaria de la zona de Las Américas, la misma que se encuentra en la colección de entomopatógenos de la Universidad Estatal Amazónica, sea utilizada como biocontrolador de la plaga M. andigena, que es la causa de grandes pérdidas económicas en los sectores agrícolas y agroindustriales de la región.

This article examines the potential impact of large language models (LLMs) on higher education, using the integration of ChatGPT in Australian universities as a case study. Drawing on the experience of the first 100 days of integration, the authors conducted a content analysis of university websites and quotes from spokespeople in the media. Despite the potential benefits of LLMs in transforming teaching and learning, early media coverage has primarily focused on the obstacles to their adoption. The authors argue that the lack of official recommendations for Artificial Intelligence (AI) implementation has further impeded progress. Several recommendations for successful AI integration in higher education are proposed to address these challenges. These include developing a clear AI strategy that aligns with institutional goals, investing in infrastructure and staff training, and establishing guidelines for the ethical and transparent use of AI. The importance of involving all stakeholders in the decision-making process to ensure successful adoption is also stressed. This article offers valuable insights for policymakers and university leaders interested in harnessing the potential of AI to improve the quality of education and enhance the student experience.

A Framework for Recognition of Facial Expression Using HOG Features
Authors: Saeed Vaman Ashqi
Published: May 2023

Recognition of facial expressions has been an important topic of study over the last several decades, and despite the advancements that have been made, it is still difficult to do because of the significant intra-class diversity. The handcrafted feature is used in traditional methods to address this issue. This feature is then preceded by a classifier that is trained using a database of pictures or videos. The majority of these works do quite well on datasets of photographs that were recorded in a controlled environment. However, they do not perform as well on datasets that are more difficult to work with since they include greater image variance and partial faces. The Histogram of Oriented Gradient (HOG) descriptor is the foundation for the strategy that is suggested in this study. During the initial step of the procedure, the input picture is pre-processed in order to locate the datum region, which assists in the extraction of the most relevant characteristics. After that, the Random Forest (RF) algorithm was employed as a classifier for facial expressions. The Japanese Female Facial Emotions Database (JAFFE) is used to assess our technique. The experimental findings demonstrated that the suggested method is accurate and effective in identifying facial expressions.

Grain Size and Plant Height Correlation in Doubled-Haploid (DH) Progenies of a Cross Between Contrasting Winter Wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) Parents
Authors: Giura Aurel
Published: May 2023

Grain size is an important yield component in wheat. Knowing its relationship with plant height can facilitate breeding for increased thousand kernels weight in optimum plant height cultivars. A set of 85 doubled-haploid obtained from the F1`s of G.603-86 (large grains and tall plants) and F.132 (normal size grains and semidwarf with plants) was tested along with the parents during three seasons. DH lines showed near normal distributions for plant height and thousand kernels weight, suggesting that many genes were involved in the control of both traits. Strong correlations were found between plant height and thousand kernels weight on average for the three years of testing, but also for each year. This suggests that transferring the favorable alleles from the high thousand kernels weight parent to semidwarf wheat is not an easy breeding task.

Published: May 2023

Assessing genetic variability and heritability of the targeted traits is among the crucial first steps toward lentil crop breeding. With the aim of estimating genetic variability and heritability of the crop traits and screening the most promising genotypes, a total of 12 lentil genotypes (11 lines from ICARDA, Syria, and one local cultivar) were evaluated at three locations of the Sulaimani region, northern Iraq during 2018-2019 season. Results showed a significant (P≤0.05) genetic variation among the lentils for most of the agro-morphological traits. In pairwise comparisons, ICARDA lines Flip 93-36L and Flip 2009-70L showed the best performance for most of the evaluated traits and were identified as the most promising for local cultivation and breeding goals. The very significant positive and negative correlations were between seed yield with biomass (r=0.89) and number of days to emergence (r=-0.89). The highest to lowest broad-sense heritability (H2 ) values were recorded for 100 seed weight (0.74), number of days to flowering (0.67), first pod height (0.55), biomass (0.47), harvest index (0.37), number of days to maturity (0.36) and 100 seed yield (0.36). Principal components analysis (PCA) supported by cluster analysis was used to analyze the variability among the genotypes based on agro-morphological traits. The first three principal components explained 84.16% of the variability among the genotypes. In addition to the identification of potential lentil genotypes for cultivation uses and lentil breeding in northern Iraq, our variability and heritability data would contribute to the body of lentil breeding knowledge.

Authors: Tekin Servet , Yazar Attila , Alghory Adnan
Published: May 2023

The effects of various irrigation strategies applied with drip system and different planting dates on yield, components and water use efficiency of chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.; var. Inci), were evaluated during 2010 and 2011 under Mediterranean conditions. The treatments included full irrigation (FI), mild deficit irrigation (DI-75), severe deficit irrigation (DI-25), partial root-zone drying (PRD-50), and non-irrigated (DRY) for winter and spring planting times. DI-75, PRD-50, and DI-25 received irrigation water 75, 50, and 25% of full irrigation, respectively. Both irrigation regimes and sowing dates had significantly different effect on grain yields. Interaction of irrigation and sowing dates was also significant in 2011. Water stress reduced significantly yield of spring-planted chickpea as compared to winter-planted chickpea. The greatest yields of 4.40 and 2.85 t ha-1 were recorded, respectively, for winter- and spring-planted chickpeas under FI. The greatest water use efficiency was 0.70 kg m-3 for winter-planted and 1.03 kg m-3 for spring-planted chickpeas in DRY treatment. WUE increased with decreasing irrigation amounts for both planting times. Winter planting performed better than spring planting for the yield and yield attributes. However, in dry years, deficit irrigations DI-75 and PRD-50 can be practiced to obtain higher yields with winter sowing.

Wheat is the most cultivated plant and an important source of carbohydrates in the world. The Fe deficiency reduces quality of grain wheat leading to Fe deficiency in human. The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of foliar and ground application of iron oxide nanoparticles (made in Romania) on growth components, yield and morphological and anatomical modifications of wheat plants. The ground application of iron oxide decreased height of plant, length of root and increased root volume and chlorophyll content more than foliar application. For the wheat plants fertilized with iron oxide nanoparticles, the decrease of root length was compensated by an increase of radicular density, which led to the development of new adventitious roots that could help the plants have a better uptake of water and nutrients. This meant that the production was not negatively influenced by the treatments performed, regardless of the application method. Our studies revealed that the fertilized wheat plants (foliar and root zone) presented anatomical changes in relation to control plants. The studies presented in this paper can contribute to achieve the necessary framework for the innovative development strategy regarding the efficiency of magnetic nanoparticles in foliar and ground fertilization of different crops.

Proper nitrogen management in paddy fields is crucial to achieve benefits of potential yield in northern Iran. To estimate the optimal rates of nitrogen fertilizer to obtained a sustainable rice production in different geographical regions of northern Iran, two-years field trial were performed in three regions using various nitrogen management. The experiment was conducted as factorial based on a randomized complete block design (RCBD) with three replications in Mazandaran province (Bandpay Babol and Babol Plain) and Guilan province (Lahijan region) during 2019 and 2020. Three levels of nitrogen fertilizer including 50, 90 and 130 kg N ha-1 from urea sources were used as main plots and three levels of nitrogen splitting in basal applied, initial heading stage and full heading stage were used as sub plots. The findings revealed that grain yield in Lahijan region (6044 kg ha-1 ) was 6.57% and 5.53% lower than Bandpay region and Babol Plain. With increase of 90 and 130 kg N ha-1 compared to 50 kg N ha-1 , panicle length, number of panicle per hill, number of spikelet per panicle, filled spikelet percentage, grain nitrogen uptake, protein yield and nitrogen harvest index (0.77% and 2.44%, respectively) were significantly enhanced which resulted in enhance of grain yield (24.87% and 12.71%, respectively). GY with application of 50, 90 and 130 kg N ha-1 was 5602, 6314 and 6995 kg ha-1 , respectively. In contrast, nitrogen utilization efficiency (108.21% and 30.37%, respectively) and nitrogen uptake efficiency (26.02% and 16.53%, respectively) were significantly decreased. Therefore, nitrogen management in the paddy field could be an effective approach to enhance performance of rice and nitrogen utilization efficiency is a major objective of future.

The advanced biofuels are an important target within EU considering the 2030 Energy View. There is a rising demand in finding alternative second generation bio-fuels. With the aim of describing the characteristics of the oil obtained from crops grown in Transylvania and to compare them with values reported from other countries, the following chemical analyses were performed: free fatty acids, fatty acid composition, water content, nitrogen, sulfur, aluminum, calcium, iron, phosphorus, magnesium, sodium, potassium and unsaponifiable residue. The obtained results were compared with the results found in the literature and a comparison was made between the Camelina sativa oil and Brassica napus L. oil regarding fatty acid content. No significant difference were found between the results from the literature and results obtained by us, regarding fatty acid content. The most abundant fatty acid found was Î±-linolenic acid in concentration of 32.79% mg and 36.96% mg. The sulfur content was between 22-33 ppm (m/m). Calcium was found in the highest concentration of 1630-1670 ppm (m/m).

Published: May 2023

The aim of this research was to determine the phytotoxic effect of chemotherapeutic products over meristematic explants from two potato Romanian varieties: Marvis and Castrum. Potato meristems were cultured on nutritive medium containing four virocid chemicals: ribavirin, 5-bromouracil, 2-thiouracil and acyclovir in three concentrations (0, 15, 30 mg/l). Meristems development varied for tested antiviral agents and was decreased with increasing in concentration of antiviral products (from 0 to 30 mg/l). Antiviral products with high concentration (30 mg/l) had a negative effect on regeneration. By using 5-bromouracil the highest regeneration rate was observed (for 15 mg/l and 30 mg/l), compared to the other antiviral substances, with the same concentrations. Another chemotherapeutic 2-thiouracil exhibited phytotoxicity and reduced meristems regeneration. The lowest percentage of regeneration was registered by using of 15 mg/l 2-thiouracil compared to the other antivirals, at the same concentration. Percent of meristems regeneration was very low for ribavirin and 2-thiouracil at 30 mg/l concentrations (40%). For Castrum variety 5-bromouracil is distinguished by obtaining a very significant positive difference (19.17% regenerated meristems), but the virocid 2-thiouracil is at the opposite pole, inhibiting the regeneration of explants, with a very significant negative difference (-14.17% developed explants).

The study is aimed at establishing an efficient protocol for â€in vitroâ€ medium term conservation of sweet potato. Three medium variants and three different temperatures were used for this purpose. In this experiment 6 varieties of sweet potato were tested (Juhwangmi, KSC1, Yulmi, KSP1, Hayanmi and VSP1). Uninodal segments of fully developed sweet potato plants already established â€in vitroâ€ were cultured on MS basal medium with and without osmotic regulators (mannitol and sorbitol). The cultures were incubated at three different temperatures: 24Â±2ÂºC, 20Â±2ÂºC and 16Â±2ÂºC. After 140 days of â€in vitroâ€ conservation shoots height, number of leaves, number of roots and survival rate (%) were measured. Culture condition variants V1 (MS, 24Â±2ÂºC) and V2 (MS + 10g/l mannitol + 10 g/l sorbitol, 20Â±2ÂºC) ensured the best results regarding shoots height, number of leaves and number of roots. The highest survival rate (87.78% and 84.44%, respectively) were observed in the V2 and V3 (MS + 15g/l mannitol + 15 g/l sorbitol, 16Â±2ÂºC) culture condition variants. The slow growth technique allowed the successful â€in vitroâ€ medium term conservation of sweet potato genotypes.

Test weight or volumetric (hectolitre) weight is an important trait of wheat grain, being an important predictor of flour extraction rate and a determinant factor of the efficiency of wheat transport and storage. It is included in most standards for cereal grading and as such can influence the price received by farmers. Test weight was measured in yield trials with winter wheat cultivars grown with several crop management practices at the National Agricultural Research and Development Institute Fundulea - Romania (44Âº27â€™45â€™â€™ N latitude and 26Âº31â€™35â€ E longitude, 68 m above sea level) in three seasons. Years were the main factor of test weight variation and this was associated with differences between years in maximum temperatures during the second half of grain filling period. Cultivars also had a very significant effect, while the influence of mangements and of interaction between cultivars and managements with years was not significant. On average most cultivars fulfilled the requirements for Grade 1 and 2, but the percentage of cases below the 75 kg hl-1 limit varied from 0 to 66.7%. Only two of the Romanian cultivars had half or more cases in Grade 3, while most Western European cultivars had more than 50% samples below 75% kg hl-1 . Variances of the test weight values suggest that cultivars are different in stability of test weight, with most of the Romanian cultivars being less affected by the weather conditions than most Western European varieties. Two of the shortest Romanian cultivars (Voinic and Izvor) had highest average test weight and lowest frequency of lower grades, which is a progress but at the same time suggesting large possibilities of improving this trait in semidwarf wheat.

Soybean can play an important role in securing the European protein resources. The goal of the breeder was to create highly productive soybean varieties, followed by quality grain. In this regard soybean breeding program at NARDI Fundulea has been involved in improving the genetic yield and quality potential to meet the need of farmers in different parts of the country. The objective of this study was to evaluate the variability of five soybean genotypes (created at NARDI Fundulea) from different maturity groups, grown at the National Agricultural Research and Development Institute Fundulea in 2017-2019, for yield, protein content and oil content. The year had statistically significant effect for the studied agronomic traits, p<0.01. The average yield for all genotypes was 2952 kg/ha. The highest grain yield on an average was recorded in genotype Crina F (41/9%). The average protein content of all examined genotypes was 40.07%. 2017 was the most favorable year for protein synthesis. The average oil content for all examined genotypes was Camelia F (23/77%). The most favorable year for oil synthesis was 2019 (23/48%). This research had evidentiated that new soybean genotypes created at NARDI Fundulea are suitable for new climatic conditions and can constitute the basis for further soybean breeding adapted to farmers' requirements.

Pea (Pisum sativum L.) has long been an important component of the human diet, providing an excellent source of protein. Twenty four winter peas cultivars of different origins were tested, along with one spring cultivar, under conditions of South-eastern part of Romania, during 2017-2019 period. The objective of the study was to analyze correlations between yield and several plant traits, and to assess possibilities of combining high yield with suitable winter hardiness, earliness, protein content and thousand grains weight (TGW) in lines selected in the National Agricultural Research and Development Institute (NARDI) Fundulea breeding program from crosses between winter and spring cultivars. Statistical analysis showed that environment (years) was the most important driving factor for the studied agronomic traits. Nevertheless, differences among cultivars were significant when tested against the GxE interaction, for all traits, except winter hardiness, the latest maturing cultivars (originated from USA) yielded less under studied conditions, but the correlation between vegetation period and yield was positive for European cultivars and Fundulea lines. Our results suggested that the most winter hardy cultivars had smaller grains. Yield and TGW had a highly significant negative correlation with protein content when the two American cultivars were included, but the correlation was not significant in the European cultivars and Fundulea lines. Some winter peas lines, derived from winter x spring crosses, combined high yield with good levels of winter hardiness, earliness TGW and protein content.

This paper aims to study aspects of biology and cultivation technology for introduction into the culture of the species Primula officinalis Hill., medicinal valuable plant both from a phytotherapeutic and economic point of view. The species Primula officinalis Hill. is popularly known as cuckoo's beak, aglic, aglicel or cuckoo's boot The research was performed on plants harvested from spontaneous flora (RucÄƒr-Bran area). Then the plants were acclimatized in the greenhouses of NIRDSPB BraÅŸov, Technology laboratory. After acclimatizing the material, a rigorous selection was made, choosing the most uniform plants in terms of number of leaves, height and health. The experimental factors were factor A - distance between rows with graduations: 25 cm, 50 cm, 75 cm and factor B - distance between plants in a row with graduations: 10 cm, 25 cm, 50 cm. Our results shown that the variant with a large nutrition space (75/25 cm), with an average number of seven plants grown in a row, has an average of eight stems with flowers on each plant, being clearly superior to the other variants. The production of fresh herba (kg/ha) for the species Primula officinalis L. was influenced by both factors (A and B). By variance analysis regarding the two factors studied on the average number of flowering stems it is found that the number of flowering stems depends, largely, on the nutrition space.
