Authors: Farkasová Silvia , Droppa Michal , Ziarovska Jana
Published: May 2023

Avena sativa L. is a very common specie for human consumption that provide different health benefits. As a dual purpose crop, oat provide a source of protein, fiber and minerals. Here, homologs of Bet v 1 allergen genes were used as DNA markers to analyse their utilization for genomic variability of oat varieties. The presence of Bet v 1 homologues in seven oat varieties were examined and their length polymorphism was analysed. Bet v 1 based amplified profile – BBAP- was used to obtain the polymorphic profiles for the used oat varieties by a combination of specific and degenerated primer pair. This method was reported to be universal in plants for screening of variability of coding regions. Using the primer pair Bet v 1 forward and degenerated Bet v 1 reverse 49 amplicons were amplified in a total. The length of the amplicons varied from 265 base pairs to 1929 base pairs. All analysed oat varieties generated unique amplicons, but there was not a size of amplicon that all cultivars shared. Constructed dendrogram based on hierarchical cluster analysis using UPGMA algorithm grouped the analysed varieties genotypes into three main clusters – Black Beauty and Zvolen varieties, Valentín and Earl and Vendelín varieties and Floron and Dagles varieties. BBAP technique provide a high polymorphism in the Bet v 1 isoforms present in oat and all of the analysed varieties were distinguished what showed the utility of this marker technique for analysis of genetic diversity and genotype identification of oat varieties.

Published: May 2023

Alcohol dehydrogenase is an oxidoreductase enzyme that carries both alcohol oxidation and aldehyde/ketone reduction activity. Alcohol dehydrogenase (ADH) activity of yeast cells were essential for industrial applications. Sugar-rich organic waste resources including spoiled fruits, fruit peel waste, spoiled vegetables, raw and composed sludge from the dairy industry, and cane molasses spill from the sugar industry, provide a favorable habitat for ethanol-oxidizing microorganisms with ADH activity. The total ethanol oxidizing microbial population of organic waste resources differs considerably from the overall microbial community. Yeast from the natural habitats has a great potential for developing novel enzymes for industrial uses. Under this backdrop, the present study was focused on screening and characterization of potential ethanol oxidizing yeast strains from sugar-rich organic waste resources. Totally seventeen ethanol oxidizing yeast strains belongs to Pichia sp. (9 strains), Candida sp. (2 strains) and Debaryomyces sp. (2 strains), Hanseniaspora sp, Lachancea sp, Torulaspora sp, and Magnusiomyces sp. have been identified. The ability of strains to oxidize ethanol into acetaldehyde was verified by the Schiff’s-base reaction through p-rosaniline assay. The selected five potential ethanol oxidizing strains were identified by 18S rRNA gene sequence as Pichia kluyveri FYES5, Pichia kudriavzevii FYES6, Pichia kudriavzevii VYES2, Candida mengyuniae CSYES1, and Magnusiomyces capitatus CSYES2 with the p-r index of 2.64±0.40, 3.79±0.54, 3.73±0.69, 2.28±0.24, and 2.87±0.58 respectively at 28°C. This is the first report to identify ethanol oxidizing yeast strains from sugar-rich organic waste resources and by this study found that the strain Candida mengyuniae has a better ability to oxidize ethanol.

Published: May 2023

Mastitis is one of the main disease causing big economic losses to dairy farmers. This disease is caused mainly by bacteria. Because of not efficient vaccines, there are necessary to develop new immunotherapy of vaccination strategy to reduce this disease in dairy farms. Dendritic cells are antigen-presenting cells which are able to present antigen to lymphocytes. They are able to induce activation of T naïve lymphocytes. Dendritic cells were used for development of dendritic cell-based anti-tumor vaccines. Development of vaccines against bovine mastitis has many limitations as high number of various pathogens that are able to cause inflammation of mammary gland in cattle; absence of mucus barrier in mammary gland; reduced phagocytic efficiency because of casein and fat globules etc. To this day, it is not available vaccine against bovine mastitis with high efficiency. Development of new immunotherapy or vaccine against mastitis would be very desirable. In this mini review, we are considering possibilities for development of new dendritic cell-based vaccine against bovine mastitis.
DIVERSIFICATION IN LASIA SPINOSA (LOUR.) THWAITES TWO MORPHOTYPES EXISTING WITHIN ASSAM BASED ON MORPHO METRIC AND ISSR MARKER ANALYSIS
Authors: Hore Puspita , Tanti Bhaben
Published: May 2023

Lasia spinosa or Unicorn plant is an important tropical spinous rhizomatous herb. This plant is one of the native species of Assam used as vegetable and in Ayurvedic medicines. There are two distinct morphological types of Lasia spinosa: Morphotype-I i.e.having dissected laminal and hastate form and Morphotype- II i.e.  dissected laminal form. The current study revealed that the physical and anatomical parameters assent with the genetic diversity revealed through molecular data analysis. The vein type, however, was discovered to be jumbled craspedodromous and semi-craspedodromous of Lasia spinosa morphotypes (I, II), respectively. Least variance was discovered in the morphological forms observing the leaf vein architecture. There are small changes in the petioles' and roots' internal architecture between the two morphotypes. To do a phylogenetic analysis between the two morphotypes of Lasia spinosa, the ISSR-PCR product revealed approximately 56% of polymorphisms (i.e32 out of 57 bands which are distinct to each other).

Authors: Kristína Predanócyová  , Ľubica Kubicová  , Diana Pindešová
Published: May 2023

Meat consumption has been growing globally in recent years and consumers can choose from a wide range of meat products. However, meat quality and health aspects are often discussed. The aim of the paper is to point out the development of meat consumption in Slovakia and to examine gender differences in poultry, pork and beef consumption, as well as to identify the importance of quality and health in meat choice. Data related to meat consumption in Slovakia for the last 10 years were evaluated and a consumer survey was conducted in Slovakia on a sample of 1,409 respondents, of which 1,372 were meat consumers. Using mathematical and statistical methods, it was pointed out the increasing meat consumption, as well as gender differences in meat consumption with an emphasis on higher poultry, pork and beef consumption by men compared to women. The results further showed that meat quality is considered equally by men and women, and key indicators are meat origin and composition. Furthermore, women prefer the consumption of Slovak meat and choose meat products based on the meat content, emulsifiers, proteins, water and fat content, while men focus on the meat content, emulsifiers and proteins. It can be also concluded that men respect the health principles in meat consumption less than women, and women are more afraid about food scandals and meat adulteration, which may negatively affect meat quality and safety. The results of the study provide valuable information for scientific research purposes, for meat companies and for consumers.

The purpose of this study was to ascertain the effects of adding red grape pomace (RGP) of variety Alibernet to the diet of broiler chickens Ross 308 on the technological properties of their meat. 200 one-day Ross 308 broiler chicks of mixed gender were initially split into 4 groups at random (n = 50). The control group (Group C) did not get any extra supplements. The feed for experimental group E1 was enhanced with 1% RGP per 1 kg of feed mixture (FM), 2% RGP per 1 kg of FM in group E2, and 3% RGP per 1 kg of FM in group E3, respectively. The 42-day fattening period was conducted without the use of any coccidiostats or antibiotics in FMs. After slaughter and processing, chicken halves were tested for weight losses by cooling, freezing, respectively defreezing and cooking. Breast and thigh meat was subjected for analysis – pH of fresh meat 45 and 120 minutes postmortem, its color by CIEL*a*b* system and shear force after cooking. Based on the results, we can conclude that the addition of GPA negatively affected weight loss after freezing, as these were the lowest (P≤0.05) in the control group – 2.74% compared to groups E1 – 3.64 and E2 – 3.94%. Losses by cooling and baking were similar in all groups (P≥0.05). pH values in breast muscle were not significantly affected by selected feed supplement, what is in the contrary with pH of thigh muscle, where we detected significant differences after 45 and also 120 minutes postmortem (P≤0.05). The highest shear force (P≤0.05) was recorded in control group (breast – 4.40, thigh – 3.68 kg.cm-2), while the lowest and therefore softest meat was found after application of 2% RGP (breast – 3.63, thigh – 2.52 kg.cm-2). Color characteristics were the most influenced by selected feed supplement, as we did not detect significant differences (P≤0.05) only in L* of thigh meat. The highest differences were observed in a* and b* in both breast and thigh muscle (P≤0.05) – highest values were found in group with 3% of supplemental RGP (breast – -0.88 and 9.78, respectively; thigh – 4.09 and 13.42, respectively).

From raw materials to where the industry happens. Patterns of industry location in the Portuguese cork manufacture, 1880–1980
Authors: Faísca Carlos Manuel , Parejo Moruno Francisco Manuel
Published: May 2023

This article analyses the relocation processes that the Portuguese cork industry underwent between the 1880s and 1980s. Beyond the historical-geographical aspects of the cork industry, its importance lies in the fact that it involves a paradigmatic case of a traditional industrial sector of vital importance for a developing country. Such was the case of Portugal in the late nineteenth century, where the change of location of the industry coincided with the country’s rise to become the world’s leading power in the cork industry. The article concludes that the factors that made certain regions more attractive for the development of the cork industry compared to others changed over the course of a few decades. There were two industrial relocations in a century as companies adapted to technical and organizational changes; this geographical reorganization was therefore due to a variety of factors and cannot be fully explained by just one theory of industrial location.
Destacada resonancia de la persona de Miguel de Unamuno en la prensa francesa entre 1924 y 1936
Authors: García de Juan Miguel Ángel
Published: May 2023

En esta investigación se registra y comenta la atención en los medios escritos franceses a los últimos doce años de la vida y pensamiento político de Miguel de Unamuno: confinamiento en Fuerteventura, autoexilio en Francia, Segunda República española, Guerra Civil y muerte. La generalidad de la prensa gala condenó su destierro a esa isla de Canarias por la Dictadura y defendió al pensador español Sin embargo, las opiniones sobre don Miguel se dividieron en los medios cuando comenzaron sus críticas al derrotero de la República y al Frente popular, y aún más al adherirse a la sublevación militar de julio de 1936. La prensa de izquierda no se lo perdonó ni después de su muerte, aunque, a partir del 12 de octubre de ese año, hubiera matizado su postura en el conflicto.
“En América nadie estaba prevenido de mi partida de Europa”: México traspapelado en los "Recuerdos del tiempo viejo" de José Zorrilla

Published: May 2023

Rural poverty in developing countries comes in various forms. Food insecurity, discrimination, human rights violations, inadequate health care, and social protection are just some of the manifestations of poverty that affect the rural population. However, the most severe form of poverty is the lack of access to food for the most vulnerable segments of the population. Several strategic approaches to rural poverty reduction have been developed at the international level and have been implemented specifically in developing countries. These strategies focus on agriculture as the dominant economic activity in rural areas. In addition, the strategies aim to strengthen local rural communities while adhering to the principles of environmental, economic, and social sustainability.

Authors: Balasubramanian D. , Lavanya S.J. , Girigoswami A. , Girigoswami K.
Published: May 2023

Respiratory diseases affect the lungs and other parts of the respiratory system. The respiratory disease affects hundreds of millions of humans, and premature death is observed in nearly four million people yearly. The major cause of the increase in this disease is the increased level of air pollution and higher tobacco usage in public places.We have used the search engines PubMed and Google Scholar for the keywords Respiratory diseases, Nanomaterials, diagnosis, Nanomedicine, and Target drug delivery; recent and relevant articles are selected for reviewing this paper.Nanomedicine is a recent field of research that deals with monitoring, repairing, theragnosis, and development of human biological systems at the sub-atomic level, where we utilize engineered nanodevices and nanostructures. The conventional therapeutic strategies designed for respiratory diseases have limited solubility and bioavailability. Moreover, the robust effect of the drugs led to adverse side effects due to their high dose requirement. The local delivery of therapeutic Nanoparticles (NPs) or drug-loaded nano vehicles to the lung is a safe technique for managing various respiratory tract-related diseases like chronic obstructive pulmonary diseases, cystic fibrosis, lung cancer, tuberculosis, asthma, and infection. To overcome the difficulties of conventional treatment with antibiotics and anti-inflammatory drugs, nano-enabled drug delivery, nanoformulations of drugs as well as drug nanoencapsulation have been used recently. In this mini-review, we will discuss the importance and application of nanomedicine for diagnosis, treatment and clinical research involved in the different types of respiratory diseases.Nanomedicine provides an alternative delivery of drugs with the help of various nanocarriers, which enhances controlled drug delivery at the pulmonary region and can be used for treating and diagnosing respiratory diseases in vivo and in vitro studies. Further experiments followed by clinical examination are warranted to prove the potential application of nanomedicine in treating respiratory disease.This mini-review will help the readers and budding scientists apply new methods for developing highly efficient drugs with low side effects and improved targeted sites of action.

The study uses an indicator approach to assess the socioeconomic impact on tourism in developing countries, using Sri Lanka as a case. Tourism is a flourishing sector in Sri Lanka that was affected by different aspects such as pandemics, terrorism, and economic, social, and political instabilities. Though the effects of these events have been studied separately, studies done to assess the socio-economic impact of tourism in Sri Lanka using an indicator approach are scarce; hence the study aims to fill this prevailing knowledge gap. Based on data availability, the study uses secondary data from Sri Lanka Tourism Development Authority and Central Bank reports of Sri Lanka from 2010 to 2019. The socio-economic impact of tourism is measured using integral indicators calculated using the coefficients and weights of the data collected. The study concludes that tourism in Sri Lanka has had a positive socioeconomic impact and has increased continuously since 2010 except in 2019, due to the aftermath of the Easter Sunday attacks in April 2019. This study indeed provides a stepping stone to study the Sri Lankan Tourism Sector which is currently going through political and economic turmoil.

Authors: WANI GOWHAR AHMAD
Published: May 2023

The paper is empirical in the course of methodological contributions and policy implications. It studies the quantity of tourism infrastructure obtainable for destinations in the Kashmir Valley. For analysis, quantitative data were collected from the head offices of numerous departments facilitating infrastructure facilities. The Union Territory of Jammu and Kashmir is widely famous for its tourism potentials. Nevertheless, it needs to catch up in tourism infrastructure. The low quantity is visible in components and needs a comprehensive measurement to identify lags. Subsequently, identifying the significant areas of weakness required a scientific mechanism and an approach to remove such bottlenecks. Therefore, measurement of Infrastructure based on scientific methods is indispensable to identify the areas of inadequate facilities and to remove obstructions. Subsequently, composite index based analyses were adopted to compare and rank the quantity of Infrastructure of five popular tourism destinations. Tourism Infrastructure Index exposed disparity by dimensions and among the destinations. It is revealed that a low amount of Infrastructure is evident for most destinations and, therefore, affects the development of tourist places. So, the provision of sufficient quantity is recommended and depends upon the geospatial characteristics, nature and necessities of the destinations.

Published: May 2023

The relevance of the subject under study is conditioned upon the scientific originality and practical significance of the implementation of the defence function of the state in the context of drastic changes in the forms and methods of conducting combat operations in modern wars. At the general theoretical level, the structure of the mechanism for implementing the defence function of the state was analysed and methodological aspects of the correlation of its main elements were highlighted. The purpose of this study was to highlight the methodological characteristics of the concept, essence, and content of the mechanism for implementing the defence function of the state, to determine its place and role in protecting state sovereignty, territorial integrity, and other national interests during the full-scale aggression of the Russian Federation against Ukraine. The methodological toolkit of this study includes a set of research approaches, philosophical, general scientific, and concrete scientific methods that provided substantiated study results regarding the mechanism of implementing the defence function of the state. The theoretical design of this mechanism was analysed, as well as certain aspects of interaction and complementarity of its structural elements were considered. It was found that the model of this mechanism comprises legal (regulatory), institutional (organizational), and functional components. The regulatory element of the mechanism for implementing the defence function of the state covers the principles and norms that ensure the regulation of legal relations in the field of preparation for armed defence and protection in the event of an armed conflict (aggression). It was established that special subjects serve as the basis of the institutional (organizational) element of this mechanism, which, within the limits of their powers, carry out defence activities aimed at preparing for armed defence and protection in the event of an armed conflict (aggression). It was noted that defence activity is a functional component of the mechanism for implementing the defence function, which is implemented by authorized entities in appropriate forms, methods, and makes provision for preparation for armed defence in the event of armed aggression (conflict). The practical value of this study lies is that based on a methodological analysis of the legal literature and regulations of Ukraine on certain aspects of the implementation of the defence function of the state, proposals were formulated to create a realistic strategy for countering the aggressor state, aimed at improving the current legislation in the fields of national security and defence
Certain components of the constitutionalization content in the legislative procedure in Ukraine
Authors: Drapiatyi Bohdan
Published: May 2023

The relevance of this study is conditioned upon the need to investigate individual elements of the constitutionalization content in the legislative procedure. The purpose of this study was to develop doctrinal approaches for determining the constitutionalization content in the legislative procedure. This study uses a complex of scientific methods: dialectical, modelling, and correlation, historical legal, comparative legal, formal logical, and other methods. The author’s definition of the term “constitutionalization of the legislative procedure” was formed. It was proved that constitutional legal awareness in the psychological aspect forms the vector of activity of subjects of public relations. This study focuses on the importance of the constitutional legal consciousness and legal culture of the legislator – the only representative body of Ukraine, the most numerous subject of legislative initiative. The study proved that constitutionalization of law-making begins with the understanding that the society, apart from the practical development of various benefits (admittedly, through the statutory regulation of relations from such development), is also developed through the spiritual component, various forms of culture, which contain ideals created by the history of humankind through which the world is cognized. It was noted that the key values receive regulatory consolidation of the highest constitutional level as human and civil rights and freedoms, the foundations of the constitutional system, etc. It was concluded that when the state is in transition, the society faces a crisis of legal regulation, when due to certain reasons, the law partially loses its status as the most effective and universal regulator of social relations. In transitional societies, in extreme cases, the term “law” may begin to be associated with inaction and hopelessness, which may result in a surge of legal nihilism (one of the manifestations of the phenomenon of deformation of legal consciousness, especially the constitutional one)

Background. Falling is a major problem for people with Parkinson’s disease (PD), as they are twice as likely to fall compared to other neurological conditions. The consequences of these falls are significant and often result in injuries that contribute to poor quality of life, and care giver stress. Aim. To compare the efficacy of visual feedback versus sensory integration training on risk of falling in idiopathic Parkinson’s disease patients. Materials and Methods. Thirty patients (13 females and 17 males) with idiopathic PD, aged from 60 to 75 years participated in this study. They were randomly assigned to two equal groups. Group (A) received visual feedback training on the Biodex Balance System and group (B) received sensory integration training. Twelve training sessions were given, three times per week, for four weeks. Assessment of overall stability index (fall risk index) and sway index using the modified Clinical Test of Sensory Integration of Balance (m-CTSIB) was done pre-and post-treatment. Results. Both groups (A and B) showed significant decrease in the overall stability index post treatment (p < 0.05). In addition, there was significant difference between both groups in the overall stability index post-treatment (p < 0.05), being lower in group A compared to B. Finally, a significant decrease in sway index was also reported post treatment in both groups (p < 0.05), being significantly lower in group A compared to group B (p < 0.05). Conclusion. Visual feedback training yields improvement in decreasing risk of falling in PD patients compared to sensory integration training.
