Is Early Marine Growth Related to Salmon Survival? Two Decades of Data from Juvenile Coho Salmon in the Northern California Current
Authors: Beckman Brian , Journey Meredith , Morgan Cheryl , Burke Brian
Published: January 2025

Early summer growth for juvenile coho salmon (Oncorhynchus kisutch) has been assessed in the Northern California Current (NCC) since 2000. Mean insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF1) levels (an indicator of growth) differed significantly over succeeding decadal intervals (2000–2009 vs. 2011–2022) with IGF1 levels since 2010 being consistently higher than found before 2010. Across the time series, IGF1 levels were correlated with a prey index for juvenile salmon derived from plankton samples collected in the upper water column during juvenile salmon surveys. There are no apparent correlations between juvenile salmon growth and basin-scale oceanographic indictors including the Pacific Decadal Oscillation (PDO), Northern Pacific Gyre Oscillation (NPGO) or Oceanic Niño Index (ONI). Neither is there a correlation between juvenile salmon growth and upper water column temperatures concurrent with the survey. From 2000–2009 early marine growth was correlated with an index of coho salmon survival (OPIH), there was no correlation of growth with survival in the subsequent decade (2011–2022). These data don’t easily fit with current paradigms suggesting that variation in juvenile salmon growth and survival is correlated with California Current ecosystem productivity driven by variation in basin-scale ocean processes indexed as by the PDO or NPGO. Indeed, the highest IGF1 level measured in the time series were unexpectedly found during the 2016 El Niño. Together, these data suggest that there isn’t a simple relationship between early marine growth and survival for coho salmon in the NCC. Moreover, any relationship that does exist changed over a decadal time scale (2000–2009 vs. 2011–2022). Finally, it may be difficult to establish mechanistic insights into growth and survival within the framework of current environmental variation in the NE Pacific Ocean.
Ferric Nitrilotriacetete Augments 7,12-Dimethylbenz(a) Anthracene-Initiated and Benzoyl Peroxide -Promoted Skin Carcinogenesis
Authors: M Ansarinia , A Bavili , S Dastmalchi , AM Nayebi , H* Rezazadeh
Published: January 2025

Background: Renal cancer is caused by ferric nitrilotriacetete (Fe-NTA), and little is known about its implications on skin
cancer. The effects of Fe-NTA on benzoyl peroxide (BPO) -induced tumor stimulation in 7,12-dimethyl benz(a)anthracene
(DMBA)-initiated mouse cutaneous carcinogenesis have been presented in this report.
Methods: Fe-NTA was administered topically to Swiss mice, and tumors were induced with DMBA. After that, the animals
were given BPO for 40 weeks. The occurrence of tumors was documented.
Results: Fe-NTA at a dose of 12 mg iron per mouse induced an increase in tumor occurrence over times as compared to the
control (DMBA+ BPO) treated group. Tumors appeared earlier in the Fe-NTA group, with a higher incidence number of tumors.
In addition, BPO-mediated lipid peroxide induction and [3H] thymidine uptake were greater in Fe-NTA treated group.
Conclusion: We propose that Fe-NTA boosts BPO, tumor-promoting potential, and that Fe-NTA-induced oxidative stress is
effective for BPO mediated cutaneous carcinogenesis.

Thoracic Splenosis: The Luckiest Nodule You Can Have
Authors: Mello Vieira Marta , Barbosa Sara , Morais Mariana , Soares Leonor , Fevereiro Maria do Carmo
Published: January 2025

Thoracic splenosis is characterised by the autotransplantation of splenic tissue into the thoracic cavity, following splenic and diaphragmatic rupture. It is usually asymptomatic and diagnosed incidentally.
The authors present the case of a 61-year-old woman, with a history of a car accident 36 years prior which resulted in splenectomy. The patient presented to the emergency department with a syncytial respiratory virus infection, which led to the identification on computed tomography of extensive nodular thickening of the left peripheric pleura (11cm extension, 2,9cm thickness), suggestive of neoplasia. She underwent a percutaneous pleural biopsy, followed by video-assisted thoracoscopy, which revealed lymphoid tissue with germinal centres and abundant lipid-laden CD68+ macrophages. A positron emission tomography with 18F-FDG identified a low metabolic signal on the left pleura. Follow-up chest computed tomography demonstrated the stability of the nodular lesions. After a multi-disciplinary discussion, given the patient's medical history, the hypothesis of thoracic splenosis was considered the most likely diagnosis.
This case brings our attention to this rare entity, highlighting the importance of a detailed clinical history, a persistent search for a diagnosis and a multi-disciplinary approach.

Current research directions in nutrional anthropology
Authors: Pelto Gretel H.
Published: January 2025

Englanniksi:
Research directions in social science on food and nuiritionrelated issues can be classified into three broad divisions: nutritional anthropology, food systems research andfoodways studies (the anthropology offood). The types ofresearch questions currently being pursued within nutrition anthropology are I) socio-cultural processes and nutrition: 2) social epidemiology of nutrition: 3) ideological features, cultural structures and nutrition: 4) food intake, nutrition and social and biological functioning: and 5) population genetics, physiological adaption and nutrition. In studying these topics nutritional anthropologists draw on theoretical and methodological components of their broader discipline as well as the fields of nutritional sciences.
Suomeksi:
Sosiaalitieteellisen ruoka- ja ravitsemustutkimuksen suuntaukset voidaan luokitella kolmeksi laajaksi kokonaisuudeksi: ravitsemusantropologia (nutritional anthropology), ruokasysteemien tutkimus (food systems research) ja ruokatapojen tutkimus eli ruoan antropologia (food ways studies, the anthropology of food). Ravitsemusantropologian tyypillisiä tutkimusaiheita ovat tällä hetkellä: (1) sosiokulttuuriset prosessit ja ravitsemus; (2) ravitsemuksen sosiaaliepidemiologia; (3) ideologiset piirteet, kulttuuriset rakenteet ja ravitsemus; (4) ruoankäyttö, ravitsemus ja sosiaalinen ja biologinen toimintakyky; (5) populaatiogenetiikka, fysiologinen adaptaatio ja ravitsemus. Ravitsemusantropologit soveltavat tutkimuksissaan sekä antropologisia että ravitsemustieteellisiä teorioita ja metodeja.
Abortti, ihmisoikeudet ja ihmisarvo
Authors: Häyry Matti
Published: January 2025

Kirjoituksessa luodaan ensin lyhyesti erilaisia abortti-indikaatioita ja -politiikkoja sekä keskitytään sitten vertailemaan ns. 'maltillista' ja 'liberaalia' suhtautumista aborttiin. Martti Lindqvistin lääketieteellistä teoriaa käytetään sen osoittamiseen, että vaikka ihmisyyden suojeleminen on ehkä lääkärin korkein velvollisuus, siksi ihmisyys on niin kyseenalainen asia, etteivät lääketieteelliset moraaliset velvollisuudet välttämättä ulotu sikiöiden suojelemiseen asti. Sen sijaan lääkärin puoleen kääntyvien, aborttia haluavien naisten ihmisyys voi olla vaakalaudalla, mikäli abortti evätään heiltä. Lääketieteellisen etiikan korkein periaate puhuu paremminkin 'liberaalin' kuin 'maltillisen' aborttipolitiikan puolesta.
Koetut oireet ja niihin liittyvät tekijät
Authors: Myllykangas Markku , Elo Jyrki
Published: January 2025

Tutkimuksessa selvitettiin sosiaalisten sekä terveydentilaan ja käyttäytymiseen liittyvien tekijöiden yhteyttä oireiden kokemiseen. Tutkimukseen osallistui 214 satunnaisotannalla valittua 35-64-vuotiasta kuopiolaista, ja osallistumisprosentti oli 73. Aineisto kerättiin marraskuussa 1979 lääkärikäynneillä ja kyselylomakkeilla. Tutkimuksessa tarkasteltiin erityisesti oireellisten päivien määrää ja eri oireiden lukumäärää oireita kokeneilla, joita oli 89 prosenttia vastaajista. Ikä liittyi selvästi oirepäivien ja oireiden lukumäärään. Ikä- ja sukupuolivakiokointien jälkeen osoittautuivat lääkkeiden käyttöpäivät, työstä poissaolopäivät, pitkäaikaissairastavuus, koettu terveydentila sekä elämänlaatu erillisessä tarkastelussa oirepäivien ja oireiden lukumäärän vaihtelun parhaimmiksi selittäjiksi. Askelittavassa regressioanalyysissä nousi miehillä oireellisten päivien parhaimmiksi selittäjiksi työstä poissaolopäivät, yhdistyksen kokouksissa käymättömyys ja tupakointi. Vastaavat selittäjät naisten ryhmässä olivat pitkäaikaissairauksien määrä, elämänlaadun heikkous sekä työstä poissaolopäivät. Miehillä oireiden lukumäärän parhaimmat selittäjät olivat pitkäaikaissairauksien määrä, oluen käytön vähäisyys ja elämänlaadun heikkous. Naisilla parhaimmat selittäjät olivat pitkäaikaissairauksien määrä, liikunnan harrastaminen, voinnin huonous verrattuna toisiin samanikäisiin, elämänlaadun heikkous sekä yhdistyksen kokouksissa käymättömyys.
Tutkimus antaa viitteitä sosiaalisen kontrollin merkityksestä etenkin miesten oireiden kokemisessa tai raportoinnissa. Myös elämänlaadulla on keskeinen itsenäinen merkitys oireiden kokemisessa objektiivisen sairastavuuden ohella. Tutkimus antaa monipuolisen kuvan oireiden kokemisesta eri tarkasteltujen tekijöiden suhteen. Tavanomainen oireita kokeneiden/oireettomien lukumäärän tarkastelu ei kykene paljastamaan oireiden kokemisen laatuun liittyviä tekijöitä.

Luokittelumuuttujat kuvaavat terveydenhuollon rakenteellisia ominaisuuksia, ne ovat luonteeltaan laadullisia ja sopimuksenvaraisia. Mitat ovat määrällisiä suureita eri luokitusten sisällä. Tunnusluvut ovat mittalukujen suhteita tai niiden jakautumia.
Somaattiset sairaudet vanhusten sosiaalisen selviytymisen vaikeuttajana
Authors: Ojala Toini , Kuusela Vesa , Sourander Leif
Published: January 2025

Kirjoituksessa käsitellään eräiden yleisten tautiryhmien ja heikentyneiden aistitoimintojen vanhuksille aiheuttamaa haittaa. Aineistona on Kansaneläkelaitoksen kuntoutustutkimuskeskuksen ja Turun kaupunginsairaalan yhteistyössä vuosina 1982-1983 tekemä tutkimus. Sosiaalista selviytymistä kuvaavina muuttujina on käytetty koettua suoriutumiskykyä, avuntarvetta, liikkumiskykyä, osallistumisaktiivisuutta ja ihmiskontaktien tiheyttä. Tulokset osoittavat, että aivovaltimosairauksien, sokeritaudin sekä heikentyneen näön ja kuulon merkitys selviytymistä vaikeuttavana tekijänä on suuri. Heikentynyt näkö ja kuulo haittaavat huomattavasti varsinkin naisvanhusten sosiaalista selviytymistä, ja niillä on ratkaiseva vaikutus vanhusten avuntarpeeseen.

Peasant Issues and Agricultura Transformations in the Years of the Ukrainian Revolution (1917 - 1921) in the Works of Modern Romanian and Polish Historiography
Authors: Ilnytskyi Vasyl , Hlibischuk Mykola
Published: January 2025

The article attempts to analyze the scientific achievements of modern Romanian and Polish historians on the peasant question and agrarian transformations that took place during the Ukrainian Revolution (1917–1921). The authors tried to focus on the characteristics that are inherent in the scientific research of Romanian and Polish historiography at the present stage. This was done on the example of some works of Romanian and Polish scientists who dealt with this topic. The key thesis that the authors tried to prove is that the presence of scientific works in Polish and Romanian historical science that directly or indirectly relate to our topic, but a separate specialized scientific study still have not appeared. The article ends with the author’s thoughts on this situation.
Louis Couturat as a Historian of Logic
Authors: Márquez Víctor Manuel Hernández
Published: January 2025

Louis Couturat (1868-1914) is well known as the editor of Leibniz’s Opuscules et Fragments Inédits and for his study La Logique de Leibniz, which is often wrongly associated with his interpretation of Leibniz’s metaphysics. The confusion is twofold since both his book and his interpretation of Leibniz’s metaphysics are equally often identified with Russell’s famous interpretation, despite their remarkable differences. The purpose of this essay is to show that such confusions have obscured Couturat’s role as a historian of logic and, in particular, in relating the emerging systems of logic in the 19th century with the Leibnizian project of a characteristica universalis and a calculus ratiocinator. Couturat must therefore be seen as the oldest pioneer of van Heijenoort interpretation, according to which the new logic arises under two traditions, one with the idea of logic as a language and the other with the idea of logic as a pure logical calculus.
A Reconstruction of Gilles Deleuze’s Contribution in Einstein-Bergson Debate
Authors: Parsa Mehdi
Published: January 2025

This paper aims to explore how Gilles Deleuze’s philosophy of time can enhance our understanding of the central themes arising from the famous 1922 debate between Albert Einstein and Henri Bergson on the nature of time, as well as Bergson’s critique of Einstein in Duration and Simultaneity. To achieve this goal, the paper begins with a review of Einstein’s theory of relativity, Bergson’s critique of it, and a summary of Deleuze’s theory of time as appears in Difference and Repetition. Subsequently, it explores Deleuze’s call in Bergsonism to investigate the metaphysics of the theory of relativity. It will be demonstrated that this metaphysics underlies the incorporation of a concept of time that, diverging from the measured time found in physical formulas, fundamentally alters the physical paradigm itself. Finally, the paper examines how Deleuze’s own metaphysical framework contributes to the demands of this physical theory.
Perception of the Influence of Lymphedema on the Everyday Activities and Mental Health of Women with Breast Cancer
Authors: Grgić Iva , Rukavina Melita , Petrak Olivera
Published: January 2025

Introduction. Breast cancer is still the most common malignant disease in women, although its mortality is lower thanks to aggressive treatment and prevention. Secondary lymphedema of the upper limbs is the most common consequence of breast cancer treatment, but due to external factors, it can also occur years later. Lymphedema is a chronic, inflammatory, lymphostatic disease that, along with pain and discomfort, leads to limitation of arm mobility. Considering that the lymphedema of the arm is visible, and still cannot be corrected aesthetically in Croatia, women have difficulties in finding adequate clothes, and it also affects their everyday activities.Aim. To examine the perception of the impact of arm lymphedema caused by breast cancer therapy on everyday activities, and mental health of women.Methods. We used the LYMQOL questionnaire to assess the quality of life of women with upper limb lymphedema and the DASS-21 questionnaire to assess their mental health. A total of 100 women with lymphedema with an average age of 52.3 participated in the research, all members of breast cancer associations.Results. Results on all subscales of the DASS-21 questionnaire are increased. A large percentage of respondents have severe symptoms of anxiety and depression, which should not be ignored. Conclusion. Women estimate that lymphedema affects their everyday and leisure activities, whereby they most often mention sports, cycling, driving, hiking, being out in the sun, socializing, but they also indicate the very unpredictability of how the arm will react in certain conditions.
Cluster analysis by using D2 statistics among the various bitter gourd(Momordica charantia L.) genotypes under Northern hilly regions of Kashmir
Authors: Singh Pradeep Kumar , Biyyala Srinivasulu
Published: January 2025

Thirty-three bitter gourd genotypes were evaluated to estimate the per se performance, genetic variability and cluster analysis for growth and yield traits. Per se performance demonstrated that the genotypes viz., Phule Green Goal, B.G. Kantedar and NDBG-3 are high yielders, whereas, NDBG-5 and Pant Karela-1 were earlier in flowering. The higher magnitude of coefficient of variation at phenotypic as well as genotypic levels were observed for fruit yield per plant, total chlorophyll content and node number to anthesis of first pistillate flower. The presence of high heritability in broad sense (h2bs) along with high genetic advance in per cent of meanwere observed for total chlorophyll content, node number to anthesis of first female flower and vine length. Estimates of cluster analysis revealed that 33 genotypes were grouped into six distinct clusters. Maximum inter- cluster distances were observed between clusters IV and VI, cluster III and VI, cluster II and VI and cluster IV and V, whereas, maximum intra-cluster distance was observed in cluster I. The crosses between the genotypes of cluster IV with VI and Cluster III with VI are likely to exhibit high hybrid vigour and could produce recombinants with desired traits in segregating generations.

У статті здійснено аналіз сучасних наукових досліджень з проблем підготовки фахівців з фізичної культури та спорту, пошук нових підходів у застосуванні ними знань та умінь при реалізації партнерських проектів між державою та приватним сектором. Результати свідчать про важливість проведення змін на державному рівні, здійснення інноваційної діяльності, розроблення альтернативних рішень вирішення проблем сфери фізичної культури та спорту на сучасному етапі. З одного боку, потреба у освітніх послугах та пропоновані нові види інновацій у навчанні, що спрямовані на підвищення якості освіти та практичних навичок, з іншого – впровадження державно-приватного партнерства (далі – ДПП) у сфері фізичної культури і спорту стимулюватимуть створення ефективної системи підготовки менеджерів/управлінців, що зумовило актуальність теми і мету дослідження. Метою роботи є дослідження теоретико-методологічних засад ДПП та визначення передумови його здійснення у сфері фізичної культури і спорту. Для досягнення зазначеної мети використовувались методи теоретичного аналізу і узагальнення даних науково-методичної літератури, емпіричних матеріалів наукового дослідження та документів. Використані метод системного аналізу; педагогічне спостереження, методи математичної статистики, метод поєднання логічного та історичного аналізу розвитку соціально-економічних відносин у сфері фізичної культури і спорту. Аналіз наукових джерел показав, що результати досліджень стосовно підготовки кадрового потенціалу та реалізації партнерства між органами влади та приватним сектором мають значний вплив на подолання негативних явищ, активізації інноваційної діяльності, формування ефективної інвестиційної політики та розбудова спортивної інфраструктури, що сприяє прискоренню вирішення проблем розвитку фізичної культури і спорту в Україні. Проведене дослідження свідчить, що у процесі реформування згаданої сфери, система підготовки фахівців з фізичної культури і спорту, у тому числі менеджерів/управлінців, у контексті розвитку ДПП вимагає переосмислення інтегративних економічних, соціальних, педагогічних, організаційних та нормативно-правових факторів, що ефективно взаємодіють між собою.

У статті розглядається питання підготовленості майбутніх учителів фізичної культури до впровадження оздоровчих систем засобами фізичного виховання в освітні установи. Розглянуто стан здоров'я шкільної молоді та доведено необхідність впровадження оздоровчих технологій в сучасну школу. Досліджено рівень підготовленості бакалаврів фізичної культури до впровадження фізкультурно-оздоровчих систем в заклади освіти. Матеріали та методи: аналіз наукової літератури, педагогічні спостереження, педагогічний експеримент, математична обробка одержаних даних. В експерименті брали участь студенти четвертого курсу, майбутні учителі фізичної культури, кількістю 30 осіб. Проведено анкетування учасників експерименту з власним рівневим оцінюванням особистої підготовленості до оздоровчої роботи зі школярами. Обробка одержаних результатів засвідчила середню (20–65%) і достатню (20–60%) підготовленість здобувачів до означеного виду професійної діяльності. Паралельно запропоновано здобувачам, учасникам анкетування, розробити, змоделювати оздоровчі заходи (завдання) для досягнення визначеної мети. Аналіз виконаних робіт показав середній рівень підготовленості у 35% студентів, а достатній лише у 25% випадків. Результати, представлені студентами, засвідчили не відповідність задекларованого рівня підготовленості здобувачів фактичному рівню готовності до проведення оздоровчих заходів. Визначено, що бакалаври фізичної культури не в змозі об’єктивно оцінити рівень власної підготовленості до впровадження оздоровчої роботи в школі. Консультативно-методичне забезпечення впровадження оздоровчої роботи є найбільш проблемним для майбутніх учителів фізичної культури, де майже чверть студентів визнали та показали низький рівень підготовленості.

Effect of oral premedication with gabapentin and trazodone combination on the MAC of isoflurane in dogs
Authors: Aiello Jacob , Carson Brittney , Aarnes Turi , Wanstrath Audrey , McLoughlin Mary
Published: January 2025

OBJECTIVE

To determine the effect of the administration of oral gabapentin (20 mg/kg) and trazodone (8 mg/kg) on the MAC of isoflurane in dogs.

METHODS

6 adult dogs (3 castrated males and 3 spayed females), aged 13.3 ± 1.5 months and weighing 36.8 ± 3.4 kg (mean ± SD), were each anesthetized twice, separated by at least 7 days. Dogs were randomly assigned to receive gabapentin (20 mg/kg orally) and trazodone (8 mg/kg orally) followed by maintenance isoflurane or maintenance isoflurane alone. For their second event, dogs received the other treatment. The MAC was determined using an iterative bracketing technique with electric stimulation. Hemodynamic variables and vital parameters were assessed throughout the anesthetic episode. The effect of treatment on outcome variables was analyzed by use of a paired t test (P < .05).

RESULTS

The mean ± SD MAC of isoflurane in dogs was significantly lower with gabapentin and trazodone premedication and isoflurane (0.625 ± 0.18%) compared with isoflurane alone (0.95 ± 0.14%). The mean MAC of isoflurane reduction was 0.33 ± 0.04%. Heart rate was decreased but still within normal limits in premedicated dogs. Other hemodynamic variables did not differ significantly between treatments.

CONCLUSIONS

Oral administration of gabapentin (20 mg/kg) and trazodone (8 mg/kg) 2 hours before anesthesia maintained with isoflurane had a MAC-sparing effect with no significant effect on hemodynamic variables in dogs.

CLINICAL RELEVANCE

Oral premedication with gabapentin and trazodone could be administered before anesthesia to decrease MAC, thus limiting dose-dependent anesthetic risks.
Chlamydial infections in free-ranging raptors presenting to a university veterinary medical teaching hospital (1993–2022)

Published: January 2025

OBJECTIVE

To describe the prevalence, clinical findings, lesions, and risk factors associated with chlamydial infections in free-ranging raptors presented to a university veterinary medical teaching hospital.

METHODS

Medical records retrospectively searched for raptors admitted from January 1993 through April 2022 were tested for Chlamydia spp infections using quantitative PCR (qPCR), immunohistochemistry, culture, and sequencing. Findings were collected and analyzed. Multivariable logistic regression analyzed the association between Chlamydia spp infection status and risk factors, including age class, species, sex, and season of admission.

RESULTS

The prevalence for cases that tested positive for Chlamydia spp on 1 or more diagnostic tests, including mucosal qPCR samples for Chlamydia spp, tissue PCR for C buteonis, and mucosal qPCR genotyped as C buteonis, was 1.9% (74 of 3,983). All positive cases were from the genus Buteo (n = 74). Juvenile birds and winter season had higher odds of infection. All birds were in poor body condition (n = 74), often with moderate-to-severe CBC and biochemistry abnormalities consistent with multiorgan chronic inflammatory disease, emaciation, and dehydration. On postmortem examination of Chlamydia-positive birds (58 of 74), hepatitis (44 of 56), nephritis (24 of 39), splenitis (22 of 53), airsacculitis (21 of 43), myocarditis (21 of 39), and pneumonia (21 of 38) were common lesions, with intracellular bacteria in multiple tissues.

CONCLUSIONS

Signalment, season of admission, clinical signs, clinicopathologic findings, and Chlamydia-specific testing identified chlamydial infections in free-ranging raptors. Appropriate protections to prevent potential zoonotic transmission in clinical wildlife rehabilitation settings are recommended.

CLINICAL RELEVANCE

Many clinical parameters used to identify C psittaci infection in parrots can also be used to identify chlamydial infections in raptors.

Switching to alternative energy sources is imperative at present. Solar energy is known as one of the Earth’s most cost-effective and sustainable sources of energy. Tin sulphide (SnS) is a commonly studied photovoltaic material, along with other materials such as metal chalcogenides, chalcopyrites, and perovskites. SnS possesses an appropriate band gap and an absorption coefficient within the required range, rendering it a viable material for solar cell applications. Researchers are attracted to SnS-based solar cells because of their easy-to-adjust structural parameters, plentiful availability, uncomplicated composition, and excellent mobility. This article models several characteristics of SnS-based solar cells using the SCAPS-1D simulation program. The NiO/SnS/TiO2/ITO solar cell construction may attain an efficiency of 24.0% with optimum configurations. The key criteria to be considered by researchers are the conduction band offset, the work function of the back contacts, and the radiative recombination factor (coefficient). The conduction band density of states is the least affected by the cell’s efficiency compared to other simulated metrics. This research may provide valuable information on the potential of SnS-based solar cells to achieve high efficiency.
Olfactory Stereotyping and Anti-Roma Racism: The Cultural Significance of ‘Roma Smell’ in Slovene Anthropology, History, Literature, and Criminology
Authors: Ramšak Mojca
Published: January 2025

The article draws on various sources about Roma in Slovenia to show the role of body odour and illustrate the role of perceived odour in racial discri- mination and in maintaining distinctions between the majority population and the Roma. The cultural significance of Roma body odour is a complex and multi-layered topic, traceable in several sources dating back to the 19th century. The odour associated with the Roma has been described from various perspectives. In anthropology, the study of Roma odour provides valuable insights into cultural perceptions and stereotypes about the Roma community. Throughout history, the depiction of Roma odour in literature has often reflected societal prejudices, perpetuating negative stereotypes and discriminatory attitudes towards this marginalised group. Literary works frequently emphasise the bad odour of this ethnic group, while paradoxically ascribing to the Roma an excellent sense of smell, often used metaphorically to represent subtle intuition. In criminology discourse, the association of Roma odour with criminality highlights the interconnectedness of ethnicity and the criminal justice system.

Eucheuma cottonii seaweed is known as a potential biological agent to be developed as a herbal raw material in the health sector, raw material for the cosmetic industry and as a functional food sector. The safety of herbal raw materials to be used, especially in the health and food sectors, must be free from all kinds of contaminants, especially heavy metals (Pb, Cd and As). Heavy metals have become a very serious threat to ecosystems and public health because they are able to affect the food chain. The purpose of this study was to determine the content of heavy metals in Eucheuma cottonii seaweed in the Nusa Lembongan seaweed cultivation area and to calculate the health risks posed to humans if consumed. The concentrations of heavy metals Pb, Cd and As contained in the seaweed Eucheuma cottonii in Nusa Lembongan are respectively; 1,2824±0,4626 ppm, 0,0429±0,0250 ppm, dan 0,0006 ± 0,0005 ppm. The estimated daily intake (EDI), estimated weekly intake (EWI), target hazard quotient (THQ), and target cancer risk (TCR) for arsenic values were obtained by correlating the heavy metal content in Eucheuma cottonii seaweed. The EDI, EWI and THQ values obtained do not indicate a dangerous level for humans if they consume Eucheuma cottonii seaweed. The TCR value of arsenic metal also shows that the risk of cancer is low so that Eucheuma cottonii seaweed in the Nusa Lembongan seaweed cultivation area is safe if used and consumption of Eucheuma cottonii seaweed does not pose any long-term health risks.
