Recenzia cărții: Taleb, Nassim Nicholas (2007), The Black Swan: The Impact of the Highly Improbable, Random House, ISBN 978-1400063512. Cartea abordează subiecte legate de cunoaștere și moduri de viață, cu elemente de ficțiune și anecdotice din viața personală a autorului, pornind de la aspecte literare până la cele științifice și matematice. Accentul este pus pe „orbirea noastră în ceea ce privește aleatorietatea, în special abaterile mari.” Teoria lebedei negre a fost dezvoltată de Nassim Nicholas Taleb pentru a explica rolul disproporționat al evenimentelor rare greu de prezis, incongruența metodelor științifice în calculul probabilității evenimentelor rare din cauza naturii probabilităților mici, și prejudecățile oamenilor față de incertitudine și rolul masiv al unui eveniment rar. Taleb propune oamenilor de afaceri dă folosească „strategia mrenei” pentru investiții pe care el însuși a folosit-o, care constă în evitarea investițiilor cu risc mediu și plasarea a 85–90% din bani în cele mai sigure instrumente disponibile și restul de 10–15% în afaceri extrem de speculative.

Sir Francis Galton a sistematizat aceste idei și practici despre eugenie, influențat de cartea Originea Speciilor a vărului lui, Charles Darwin, prin care mecanismele de selecție naturală au fost potențial zădărnicite de civilizația umană. El a afirmat că societatea umană, protejând pe cei defavorizați și slabi, era în contradicție cu selecția naturală , și numai prin schimbarea acestor politici sociale ar putea fi salvată societatea de la o “revenirea spre mediocritate”, frază transformată de el ulterior în “regresia spre mediocritatea.” Charles Davenport, un om de știință din Statele Unite, a inițiat o mișcare eugenică mondială implementată în multe țări.
Anomalii ale relativității generale
Authors:   MultiMedia SRL, Sfetcu Nicolae
Published: January 2023

În timp, teoria generală a relativității a acumulat mai multe anomalii și discrepanțe, indicând necesitatea unor teorii mai bune despre gravitație sau alte moduri de abordare. Ipotezele ad-hoc introduse în relativitatea generală pentru a explica singularitățile gravitaționale pe baza condițiilor energetice nu sunt foarte eficiente. Sunt necesare ipoteze mai detaliate asupra conținutului materiei. Mulți oameni de știință și filosofi au ajuns la concluzia că singularitățile trebuie să fie asociate cu atingerea limitelor valabilității fizice a relativității generale, fiind nevoie să se dezvolte o nouă teorie, a gravitației cuantice.
Cunoașterea

Published: January 2023

Greu de spus ce este cunoașterea. Cu cât se discută mai mult asupra acestui concept, cu atât mai multe sunt opiniile divergente. Epistemologia este teoria cunoașterii, iar una dintre întrebările caracteristice epistemologiei se referă la ce au în comun toate nenumăratele tipuri de cunoștințe pe care ni le atribuim. O distincție majoră între diferitele tipuri de cunoaștere este cunoașterea descriptivă, declarativă sau propozițională (care necesită un grad mai mare de sofisticare intelectuală din partea celui care caută cunoașterea) și cunoașterea cunoștințelor sau a abilităților. Pentru ca o descriere, declarație sau afirmație să fie cunoaștere, trebuie ca aceasta să fie o credință, să fie adevărată, și să fie justificată. O declarație de credință este o expresie a credinței în cineva sau ceva. Credința trebuie să fie adevărată pentru a fi cunoaștere. Platon, în Gorgias, susține că credința este cel mai frecvent invocat purtător de adevăr. În multe dintre dialogurile lui Platon, precum Menon și, în special, Theaitetos, Socrate consideră cunoașterea ca fiind credința adevărată explicată sau definită într-un fel. Justificarea credinței implică un motiv bun pentru a face acest lucru. Definiția cunoașterii ca o credință adevărată justificată a fost acceptată pe scară largă până în 1960, când filosoful american Edmund Gettier a provocat discuții majore pe scară largă.

Cele mai multe experimente au confirmat relativitatea generală cu ajutorul tehnologiilor nou dezvoltate. S-a creat o bază tehnologică pentru astronomia undelor gravitaționale. S-au construit antene barogene criogenice și antene interferometrice laser performante, asociate cu analiza teoretică a experimentelor cu masele de testare, rezultând că sensibilitatea experimentelor depinde de izolarea termică, dacă dispozitivul înregistrează continuu coordonatele sensibilitatea antenei este limitată, și se poate crește sensibilitatea dacă se folosesc proceduri cuantice. Antenele pot ajuta în observarea radiației gravitaționale de fond și testarea relativității generale în cazul ultra-neliniar.

Ontologia de intreprindere face o distincție clară între nivelul datalogic, infolog și esențial al tranzacțiilor cu blockchain și contractele inteligente. Metodologia OntoClean analizează ontologiile bazate pe proprietăți formale, independente de domenii ale claselor (metaproprietăți), fiind prima încercare de a formaliza noțiunile de analiză ontologică pentru sistemele informatice. Noțiunile sunt extrase din ontologia filosofică. În webul semantic, o proprietate este o relație binară. Distincția dintre proprietate și clasă este subtilă. Astfel, o metaproprietate este o proprietate a unei proprietăți sau a unei clase.

În prezent, organizațiile trebuie să facă față, pe lângă o concurență sporită, și unei dezvoltări și inovații tehnologice exponențiale, și unor procese de schimbare care afectează toate stările emoționale ale angajaților. Toate aceste provocări, împreună cu schimbările impuse și complexitatea sarcinilor organizaționale și manageriale, implică noi exigențe emoționale și acțiuni mai eficiente la nivel corporativ, inclusiv prin gestionarea emoțiilor în cele mai multe circumstanțe. Astfel, emoțiile reprezintă „resurse” valoroase pentru inovație și valoare adăugată într-un proces economic. Emoțiilor li s-a acordat astfel un rol important în provocarea, moderarea sau medierea evenimentelor și interacțiunilor în organizații.

The relationship between community noise and arterial hypertension in the population of the city of Niš
Authors: Stošić Ljiljana , Stojanović Dušica , Lazarević Konstansa
Published: January 2023

Aim: The aim of the study was to examine the relationship between noise exposure and the incidence of arterial hypertension as well as the relationship of noise annoyance and noise sensitivity with hypertension. Methods: A cross-sectional questionnaire survey was performed on 911 adult residents of Niš, Serbia, of whom 388 were men (42.6%) and 523 women (57.4%). The criterium for the diagnosis of arterial hypertension was that it was diagnosed by a physician. Based on measurement results of noise, residents, streets were marked as noisy [daily equivalent noise level (Leq) ≥ 55 dB (A) and night Leq ≥ 45 dB (A)] and as quiet [daily equivalent noise level (Leq) ≤ 55 dB (A) and night Leq ≤ 45 dB (A)]. The numerical and verbal noise annoyance scales were used to assess the degree of noise annoyance, while noise sensitivity was measured with the Weinstein's Noise Sensitivity Scale. Results: Arterial hypertension was statistically significantly more frequent in residents in the noisy area compared to residents in the quiet area. After the inclusion of independent variable factors in the logistic regression models, no significant diference was found (p = 0.66, OR = 1.11; 95% CI: 0.69-1.78). A correlation analysis between noise annoyance wich was measured by verbal and numeric scales and arterial hypertension showed a highly significant positive relation. The same case was between the relationship between subjective sensitivity and arterial hipertension. Conclusion: The introduction of the limit for the community noise level that corresponds to the requirements of highly sensitive persons is a significant measure in preventing the harmful effects of noise on the exposed population.
Formulation of biologics for alternative routes of administration: Current problems and perspectives
Authors: Stanković Sanja , Tasić-Kostov Marija
Published: January 2023

Introduction: Biologics (biopharmaceuticals) present new promising therapies for many diseases such as cancers, chronical inflammatory diseases and today's biggest challenge - COVID-19. Research: Today, most biologics have been synthetized using modern methods of biotechnology, in particular DNA recombinant technology. Current pharmaceutical forms of protein/peptide biopharmaceuticals are intended for parenteral route of administration due to their instability and large size of molecules. In order to improve patient compliance, many companies are working on developing adequate forms of biopharmaceuticals for alternative, non-invasive routes of administration. The aim of this work is to review current aspirations and problems in formulation of biopharmaceuticals for alternative (non-parenteral) routes of administration and to review the attempts to overcome them. These alternative routes of administration could be promising in prevention and treatment of COVID-19, among other serious diseases. Conclusion: The emphasis is on stabilizing monoclonal antibodies into special formulations and delivery systems; their application should be safer, more comfortable and reliable. When it comes to hormones, vaccines and smaller peptides, some companies have already registered drugs intended for nasal and oral delivery.

Authors: Dobrijević Dejan , Kaćanski-Rađenović Nataša , Katanić Jasmina , Kolarović Jovanka
Published: January 2023

Introduction: Pseudothrombocytopenia induced by ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid is a rare phenomenon caused by autoantibodies against platelet membrane with overall prevalence of 0.1% in the general population. This phenomenon is an in vitro artifact and with different anticoagulant used, the patient had the physiological platelet count. Case report: This case is a report of a 2-year-old patient, whose initial complete blood count analysis revealed low platelet count (18 x 10 9 /L) without any visible signs of hemorrhage. After detecting multiple platelet clumps in the peripheral blood smear, the complete blood count was repeated using 3.2% sodium-citrate. The analysis of the new specimen revealed the physiological platelet count. Thus, the patient was diagnosed with pseudothrombocytopenia induced by ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid. Conclusion: Pseudothrombocytopenia induced by ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid should always be suspected whenever thrombocytopenia without bleeding tendency is presented. The peripheral blood smear examination is the most convenient and the cheapest diagnostic test for excluding this artifact.

Authors: Akın Gül , Esbah Onur , Eröz Recep
Published: January 2023

Aim: Lung cancer is the leading cause of mortality from cancer across the world. In this study, the use of serum nucleolin (NCL) and nucleophosmin (NPM1) levels as a marker in the diagnosis, prognosis and treatment response evaluation in lung cancer was investigated. Materials and Method: NCL and NPM1 levels of serum samples taken before chemotherapy and after 3-4 courses of chemotherapy from the control group and the patients diagnosed with lung cancer were studied using ELISA method. Results: Serum NCL and NPM1 levels of the patients were higher than of the controls (p = 0.085 for NCL, p = 0.000 for NPM1). NCL and NPM1 levels by histopathologic type were significantly higher in adenocarcinoma than in squamous cell carcinoma (p < 0.05 for each). In view of the treatment responses to chemotherapeutic agents, there was a statistically insignificant difference between the values before and after chemotherapy (p > 0.05 for each). Conclusion: High serum NCL and NPM1 levels were found to correlate with poor prognosis, poor treatment response and low survival rate. It can be concluded that serum NCL and NPM1 levels in lung cancer can be used as diagnostic and prognostic markers for the disease.

Published: January 2023

Introduction: Machine learning (ML) plays a significant role in the fight against the COVID-19 (officially known as SARS-CoV-2) pandemic. ML techniques enable the rapid detection of patterns and trends in large datasets. Therefore, ML provides efficient methods to generate knowledge from structured and unstructured data. This potential is particularly significant when the pandemic affects all aspects of human life. It is necessary to collect a large amount of data to identify methods to prevent the spread of infection, early detection, reduction of consequences, and finding appropriate medicine. Modern information and communication technologies (ICT) such as the Internet of Things (IoT) allow the collection of large amounts of data from various sources. Thus, we can create predictive ML-based models for assessments, predictions, and decisions. Methods: This is a review article based on previous studies and scientifically proven knowledge. In this paper, bibliometric data from authoritative databases of research publications (Web of Science, Scopus, PubMed) are combined for bibliometric analyses in the context of ML applications for COVID-19. Aim: This paper reviews some ML-based applications used for mitigating COVID-19. We aimed to identify and review ML potentials and solutions for mitigating the COVID-19 pandemic as well as to present some of the most commonly used ML techniques, algorithms, and datasets applied in the context of COVID-19. Also, we provided some insights into specific emerging ideas and open issues to facilitate future research. Conclusion: ML is an effective tool for diagnosing and early detection of symptoms, predicting the spread of a pandemic, developing medicines and vaccines, etc.
Influence of e-commerce attributes on customer satisfaction and loyalty
Authors: Kostić Sara
Published: January 2023

The Internet has provided retailers with a whole new way of conducting business, reducing fixed costs such as renting space, but at the same time a way of increasing the need to develop and invest in digital marketing tools, sales promotions and after-sales services. A large number of virtual stores where customers can shop without leaving their home or workplace have been opened. Marketing research was conducted with the aim of analyzing the impact of e-commerce attributes on customer satisfaction and loyalty in the Republic of Serbia. Seven hypotheses have been tested in this paper. Observing the importance of all constructs, it has been found that the attributes of e-commerce are extremely important and that almost all of them affect satisfaction. The impact of website security on customer satisfaction has proven to be less relevant, and the quality of information does not directly affect customer loyalty. This research has shown that the development of e-commerce in the Republic of Serbia is growing, and that customers are increasingly preferring this type of shopping. The golden thread in this paper is its ability to collectively measure the factors that affect the satisfaction and loyalty of online consumers. At the very end of the paper, economic implications are given, as well as recommendations for further research.
Inflation convergence in new EMU members
Authors: Popović Svetlana
Published: January 2023

The European Central Bank is responsible for managing the common monetary policy for 19 countries that are geographically and economically very heterogeneous. The question is whether the common monetary policy suits all of them. We focused on countries that joined the Monetary union since 2007 (new members), to understand if they managed to "fit in". Those countries made impressive progress in macroeconomic and price stability, but is it enough to simply enjoy net benefits from EMU membership? After analyzing statistical characteristics of their inflation processes since 1997 (mean and median inflation, standard deviation and coefficient of variations), we wanted to understand if their inflation rates have converged towards EMU average inflation rate and if they tend to form a more homogeneous group of countries. We conducted a unit root test to statistically check the significance of the convergence process, and analyzed autocorrelation coefficients of inflation rates to assess the influence of the common monetary policy on the persistence of inflation. The results did not statistically confirm the existence of absolute convergence of inflation rates in New EMU members.

Authors: Obućinski Dejan , Brkić Ivana , Mitrić Vidoje
Published: January 2023

The paper analyzes the impact of corruption in the public sector on microeconomic entities in developing countries. The work defines the concepts of bribery and corruption, and in addition to the legal context, it also generates the views of the authors of professional literature from that domain. The conditions and effects of corruption on the operations of microeconomic entities in developing countries have been reviewed. Based on the analyzed literature and the synthesis of collected data, an opinion has been formulated and constructive suggestions of possible alternative responses to such a critical factor have been given. In the final part of the paper, we have arrived at the conclusion that corruption entails the need for an adequate response of state policy, which would be based on rigorous judicial practice, as well as a marketing campaign to build public awareness in order to prevent such a destructive factor on the functioning of microeconomic entities in developing countries.
Elements of the criminal offense of smuggling as a form of professional crime
Authors: Marković Svetlana , Soleša Dimitrije , Vladisavljević Radovan
Published: January 2023

The aim of this paper is to present the elements of the criminal offense of smuggling, which violates the legally protected interests of the state. The crime of smuggling, as a form of professional crime, has adapted to all changes, both domestically and internationally, and has become even more dangerous for the economy, but also for the safety of the community as a whole. The manner in which smuggling is carried out indicates that smuggling consists in bringing in, but also in taking out, goods of domestic or foreign origin beyond customs control, across the state border. As such, the criminal offense of smuggling is prescribed by the provision of Article 236 of the Criminal Code of the Republic of Serbia, which enables the protection of the customs system, and to a certain extent, the market where certain disturbances can be caused by the illegal import of goods, as well as protection aimed at suppressing the illegal import of goods. The goal of customs clearance is the protection of the economic, fiscal and financial interests of the Republic of Serbia, the protection of the Republic of Serbia from illegal trade, the safety and protection of people and the environment, and the facilitation of international trade.

The aim of this research is to present the essential parameters related to the highest quality football teams attack tactics to the scientific and professional public by analyzing the longterm competitive manifestations in the Champions League elite football competition. The analysis comprises all the matches that have been played since the 2014/15 season ending up with the 2018/19 season, which means 625 played matches in total. In order to clearly present the top teams criteria related to the attack tactics, in this research, variables describing the ball possession and the attacks after which the goals were scored were observed. The results showed that the teams spent most of their time gaining the ball possession in the maneuvering third of the field (51%) and that the organization of the attack was dominated by the passes in the middle distances (10 - 30m). Apart from that, it was noticed that every tenth shot towardsthe goalrepresents an effective attack and that most of the goals are scored in the last 15 minutes of the game (p=0.008). When it comes to the structure of the effective attacks, the results showed that 76% of the goals are scored after the ball possession, while 1/4 of the effective actions ocurred after the organized set pieces attack. Additionaly, no significant differences regarding the prevalence of the activities that preceded the scoring of the goals from the game (p=0.16) and after the set pieces (p=0.88) by seasons were found. However, the final shots from the game were usually preceded by a pass from the side in the form of a cross shot and a return ball (p=0.000), and when it comes to organizing the offensive set pieces (p=0.000), the goals were most often scored after corners and penalties. The results obtained in thisresearch provide objective information that can be used for planning and organizing training units in the preparation of teams for competitive performances.
Preliminary research of superstitious behavior in orienteering
Authors: Bačanac Ljubica , Juhas Irina
Published: January 2023

Superstitious behaviors stem from athletes' need to reduce competitive pressure and uncertainty of outcome, as it gives them the illusion of control over a number of external factors (luck factors) that may affect their competitive result. This study aims to determine the presence of superstitious behavior, its relationship to age, gender, competitive experience and self-confidence of competitors, and adequacy of Bleak and Frederick scale (1998) use to our athletes. From the original Superstitious Rituals Questionnaire developed by Bleak and Frederic (1998), after translation into Serbian, four items were removed, and the question of confidence in one's own orienteering skills was added, and the respondents were allowed to list personal superstitious behaviors not mentioned in the questionnaire. The questionnaire was completed by 78 orienteers (45 men, 33 women), aged 10-70 years and with an average competitive experience of 15.2 years. Based on the obtained research results, it was determined that from 10 to 68% of Serbian orienteers use 15 out of a total of 41 superstitious rituals, that the average number of these rituals per respondent was small (M/SD = 5.38 +/-3.46), that their effectiveness assessed on a scale of 0-5 was low (2.88 +/-1.31), that no one used 6 rituals, and that a significant number of orienteering-specific rituals were listed that were not present in the applied questionnaire. There is a significant positive correlation between the number of uses of superstitious rituals and female gender (r=.25), and a negative one with age, competitive experience, and self-confidence in orienteering skills (r=-.40; -.38; -.39, respectively). The fact that Serbian orienteers practice a relatively small number of superstitious behaviors listed in the applied questionnaire, mentioning at the same time, other superstitious rituals that they usually consider necessary routines of pre-start preparation, indicate the need to construct a new superstitious behavior questionnaire specific to orienteering and our sports culture.

Published: January 2023

The importance of physical activity (PA) for the psychological well-being of children is well documented. COVID-19 lockdown implied a severe reduction in organized and unorganized PA. Our goal was to examine how parents perceive their children's PA and their own PA related behaviours during the first month of COVID-19 lockdown in Serbia compared to the usual circumstances, to investigate the relationship between parents' evaluations of PA and children's PA level during the lockdown, and to examine the relationship between children's PA level and changes in psychological well-being and daily routines. The sample included 127 parents of preschool and school children. We constructed a questionnaire assessing sociodemographic information, parents' ratings of children's PA, their own children's PA-related behaviours, their evaluations of children's PA engagement before and during the lockdown, and their perception of psychological well-being and daily routines of their children during the lockdown. Results showed that the amount of daily PA in children decreased during the lockdown, especially the organized forms, which indicated that online PA programs have failed to replace regular PE classes and sports training. Also, parents valued regular forms of organized PA more than their online counterparts. We confirmed the relationship between parental evaluations and children's PA and showed that it depends on the specific aspect of PA the parents valued. Parents perceived that changes in children's psychological well-being and daily routines during the lockdown were of moderate intensity. PA frequency was related to attention, mood swings and PC and TV use. Our study offers several practical recommendations for children's PA in restrictive circumstances.

Published: January 2023

In the situation of the pandemic teachers face multiple difficulties in terms of achieving the educational function of the school. In order to understand the challenges faced by primary school teachers when organizing the educational process under changed conditions, a qualitative research was conducted in which 12 representatives of six primary schools from different regions of Serbia were interviewed using the semi-structured interview method. The obtained results point to the initial challenges of teachers in terms of using digital technologies and online tools and ensuring "equal education" for all students, dealing with negative changes in student behaviour patterns, a lack of space for the implementation of the school's preventive role in terms of risky student behaviour, as well as to teachers' needs for technical and professional support in organizing preventive work with students in current conditions. Taking into account all the limitations of the research, it can serve as a general indicator of the current needs of teachers for support in pandemic education, but also as a starting point for further research.

Bajić) who point out that the reception of a literary text and its influence are the outcomes of teaching literature which is based on students' acceptance of the work and the effects it produces. Drawing upon the views of Mikhail Bakhtin, who emphasized the dialogical character of culture and literature, the paper points out the possibility of strengthening intercultural competence through literature instruction. The aim of this paper is to point out, on a concrete example, i.e. by researching the reception of Gogol's Government Inspector, the possibility of a more active participation of literature instruction in the concept of intercultural education and the application of the reception-aesthetic method in the teaching of literature as one of the effective models for strengthening student motivation. The results of the empirical research confirm the initial hypothesis that students are not sufficiently familiar with Russian literature, that the horizon of students' expectations is not an obstacle to the successful teaching interpretation and that students' position as subjects in teaching is a stimulating motivational process.

Advertising towards children confirms the importance of marketing communication, as they are important for companies that offer a range of products and services. We study the influence of advertising messages from traditional media on different children's age groups, via the observed branded products and the examined credibility of advertisements, seen through the children's eyes. In total, 481 pupils from two primary schools, aged 9 - 12, participated in the research. We find that children over the age of ten recognise the persuasive influence of the media. Also, the findings indicate that the number of children who like to follow advertisements decreases with age. In addition, comparing the advertising message and real life can lead a child to overall dissatisfaction. An optimistic 75% of the answers favour the fact that children do not believe everything shown in the advertisement forwarded to them.

Published: January 2023

Predmet ovog rada odnosi se na problematizaciju pitanja etičkog kodeksa i moralnog integriteta univerzitetskih nastavnika u oblasti nastavnog i naučnoistraživačkog rada. Osnovna intencija Nacionalnog saveta za naučni i tehnološki razvoj prilikom donošenja Kodeksa ponašanja u naučnoistraživačkom radu bila je usmerena na ostvarivanje i unapređenje etičkih standarda i ustanovljenje instrumenata za sankcionisanje onih članova naučnih organizacija koji čine etičke prestupe. Imajući u vidu da su se u akademskim institucijama poslednjih godina desili događaji koje on reguliše, autorke su kroz naučnu aktualizaciju ove teme postavile kao osnovni cilj istraživanja - utvrđivanje rezultata njegove primene na svim univerzitetima u Srbiji od donošenja, do danas. U okviru teoretskog diskursa o temi dominantno je korišćena analitičkokomparativna metoda kojom je obuhvaćeno određenje pojma etičkog kodeksa i moralnog integriteta, kao i pojmovno razgraničenje između dva oblika akademskog postupanja: autonomnog, koje svoje moralne razloge ima u autonomiji slobodne volje i normiranog, koje proizlazi iz zahteva postavljenih kodeksom profesionalne etike. Praktični deo rada baziran je na digitalnoj formi istraživanja u kome je primenjen metod elektronskog pretraživanja zvaničnih veb-platformi univerziteta. Na osnovu baze podataka koje su bile dostupne na internetu za ukupno dvanaest univerziteta, osam državnih i deset privatnih, analizirano je stanje u visokom obrazovanju u Republici Srbiji u pogledu: zastupljenosti kodeksa profesionalne etike kao pravnog akta i njegove primene; funkcionisanja regulatornih tela; vidljivosti informacija o postupcima i donetim odlukama; uspostavljenih baza digitalnog repozitorijuma odbranjenih doktorskih disertacija i primene softvera za detekciju plagijarizma. Osnovni nalazi istraživanja pokazali su da problemi u ovoj oblasti postoje i da bi izveštaji o procesuiranim predmetima doprineli vidljivosti rada etičke komisije, čime bi se steklo veće poverenje u efikasno funkcionisanje univerzitetskih organa zaduženih za regulisanje ovih pitanja.

This study aimed to assess the optimal extraction parameters, solvent-to-solid ratio, and extraction time, for ultrasound-assisted extraction of Satureja montana L. (winter savory) harvested from a 6-year-old experimental plantation. The optimization was performed in order to acquire extracts that are rich in the content of polyphenols (TPC), flavonoids (TFC), and proteins, and also exhibit strong antioxidant activity, while maintaining satisfactory physical characteristics. Besides this, the influence of UV irradiation on the physicochemical properties of the selected extracts was also analyzed. The TPC values increased with longer extraction time and higher ratio (ranging from 41.4 to 56.9 mg gallic acid equivalent (GAE)/g for the ratio 30:1, and 52.4-58.4 mg GAE/g for 40:1), and the TFC followed the same trend. Total protein content values increased with the increase in the solvent-to-solid ratio, while the extraction time had no significant influence. All used antioxidant assays showed better activities when a higher solvent-to-solid ratio has been performed. pH values ranged from 6.00 to 6.46. The extraction time and solvent-to-solid ratio did not significantly influence the conductivity, whereas the zeta potential was significantly affected. The highest density was detected in the extract acquired at a 40:1 ratio after 30 min (0.994 g/mL), and higher viscosity of the extracts attained at a 30:1 ratio compared to the parallels at a 40:1 ratio. According to the results of UV stability, UV light significantly affected the TPC, TFC, total proteins, ABTS radical scavenging, cupric, and ferric ion-reducing activities, with a positive effect on ferric ion-reducing potential, and the denisty. In conclusion, the extraction conditions that yielded the best phenolic-rich extract with good antioxidant potential and satisfactory physical properties were a 40:1 solvent-to-solid ratio and a 30 minute extraction time.

In the present study, basil (Ocimum basilicum L.) and lovage (Levisticum officinale Koch.) extracts were obtained using maceration, ultrasound- and microwave-assisted extractions (UAE and MAE, respectively). Varying the different extraction solvents, including water, methanol, acetone, and ethyl acetate, the analyses of total polyphenol and flavonoid contents (TPC and TFC, respectively), as well as antioxidant properties (DPPH radical scavenging and cupric ion reducing activities) were carried out for all obtained plants' extracts. The total amount of extractive substances of the selected extracts was also measured. The highest TPC was achieved in water basil extract obtained using UAE, while the highest TFC was determined in the basil extracts prepared using maceration and MAE. The highest level of DPPH radical neutralization was observed for methanol and acetone extracts obtained by maceration (for both plants) as well as UAE and MAE (for lovage). However, the obtained results did not exhibit statistically significant correlation with the TPC and TFC. The highest cupric ion-reducing capacity was measured in methanol lovage extract prepared using UAE and in methanol basil and lovage extracts from MAE. Interestingly, a significantly higher amount of the extractive substances was measured in all methanolic lovage extracts compared to basil parallels. Thus, it can be concluded that the selection of the extraction medium and extraction technique depends on the used plant species, as well as on the future application and purpose (or role) of the prepared extracts.
