İTTİFAK VE TABİİYET: 16-18. YÜZYILLAR ARASINDA OSMANLI DEVLETİ-ERDELAN EMİRLİĞİ İLİŞKİLERİ
Authors: Özcoşar İbrahim , Açar Cafer
Published: October 2024

Bu çalışmada, Osmanlı Devleti’nin Erdelan Emirliği ile olan münasebetleri, Osmanlı, İran ve Erdelan dönem kaynaklarına, arşiv belgelerine ve araştırma eserlerine bağlı olarak incelenmiştir. Şehrezor’da kurulan Erdelan Emirliği Osmanlı ve Safevilerin Şehrezor’da hakimiyet kurmak için mücadele ettikleri dönemlerde bölgedeki dengelerin oluşmasında büyük bir etkiye sahip olmuştur. Safevilerin 16. yüzyılın başlarında İran’da merkezi bir güç olarak ortaya çıkmaları ve Şiiliği resmi mezhep olarak benimsemeleri Sünni Osmanlılar açısından Erdelan Emirliği’ni daha da önemli kılmıştır. Osmanlı Devleti ile Erdelan mirleri arasındaki ilk münasebet, Kanuni Sultan Süleyman döneminde başlamış ve ittifak-tâbiiyet düzleminde uzun bir süre devam etmiştir. Ancak Kasr-ı Şirin Antlaşması’ndan sonra Osmanlılar, Erdelan üzerindeki nüfuzlarını kaybettiler. Safevi Devleti, 1720li yıllarda başlayan Afgan saldırıları sonunda ortadan kalkınca Osmanlı Devleti, Batı İran’a girdi ve Erdelan’ın da içinde bulunduğu bölgeleri ele geçirdi. Osmanlı Devleti yaklaşık on yıl boyunca Erdelan topraklarını hakimiyeti altında bulundurdu, Erdelan’da tahrir yaptırdı, bölgenin imar ve inşası için gayret gösterdi, camiler ve kervansaraylar inşa ettirdi ve kamu yatırımları yaptı. Afşar, Zend ve Kaçar saltanatları boyunca Erdelan üzerindeki doğrudan hakimiyetini kaybeden Osmanlı Devleti, emirlikle olan münasebetlerini emirliğin ortadan kaldırıldığı 1867 yılına kadar dolaylı olarak devam ettirdi. Bu çalışma kapsamında ulaşılan temel bulgu Osmanlı Devleti’nin Erdelan mirleri için her zaman güvenli bir liman ve güçlü bir hâmi olduğudur. Keza, İran merkezi devletlerinin Şiileştirme politikalarına karşı Erdelan mirlerinin ve sakinlerinin sığındıkları ilk yer Osmanlı Devleti olmuştur. Ayrıca Erdelan Emirliği'nin uzun süre siyasi varlık gösterebilmesinin en önemli sebeplerinden biri, İran'a karşı ihtiyaç duyduğunda Osmanlı Devleti gibi sığınılacak bir alternatife sahip olmasıydı.

Abstract
The food enzyme triacylglycerol lipase (triacylglycerol acylhydrolase; EC 3.1.1.3) is produced with the non‐genetically modified Aspergillus tubingensis strain NL151 by Shin Nihon Chemical Co., Ltd. The food enzyme was free from viable cells of the production organism. It is intended to be used in six food manufacturing processes. Dietary exposure was estimated to be up to 0.278 mg total organic solids (TOS)/kg body weight (bw) per day in European populations. Genotoxicity tests did not indicate a safety concern. The systemic toxicity was assessed by means of a repeated dose 90‐day oral toxicity study in rats. The Panel identified a no observed adverse effect level of 1669 mg TOS/kg bw per day, the highest dose tested, which when compared with the estimated dietary exposure, resulted in a margin of exposure of at least 6004. A search for homology of the amino acid sequence of the food enzyme to known allergens was made and no match was found. The Panel considered that, the risk of allergic reactions upon dietary exposure cannot be excluded, but the likelihood is low. Based on the data provided, the Panel concluded that this food enzyme does not give rise to safety concerns, under the intended conditions of use.
BIOCOENOSIS OF MYA ARENARIA (LINNAEUS, 1758) IN THE KERCH STRAIT (AZOV AND BLACK SEA BASIN)
Authors: Terent'ev A.
Published: October 2024

The bivalve mollusk Mya arenaria is a species recently introduced to the Azov and Black Sea Basin. Presently, it has become one of the dominant species in the Kerch Strait. Its biocoenosis keeps to silt and silty shell bottoms and comprises 13 animal species. The species density varies from 1 to 10 species/0.1m2 with 5.0±0.3 species/0.1m2 being the average value. In terms of species richness, bivalve mollusks are the most prevalent. The abundance is in the range from 40 to 2620 ind./m2 with 590±130 ind./m2, on average. The biomass ranges from 58 to 1599 g/m2; it is 770±67 g/m2 on average. The bivalve mollusks are the most prevalent in terms of abundance and biomass. A sizable part of the abundance belongs to crustaceans. The dominant species account for an average of 6 to 11 % of the total abundance and 78 to 85 % of the overall biomass. In general, the species composition of the biocoenosis on various substrates is characterized by a rather high degree of similarity. When the biocenosis dominated by Cerastoderma glaucum transformed into a M. arenaria one, the species richness decreased by 3.5 times, while the species density was relatively unchanged. The total abundance of the biocoenosis remained constant. The total biomass increased by 3.8–5.9 times due to the soft-shell clam (sand gaper) biomass. Then, upon the transformation of M. arenaria biocoenosis into Anadara kagoshimensis one, the species richness increased by 3.8 times and the species density increased by 1.5–2.0 times. Along with that, the total abundance and total biomass of the biocoenosis remained statistically the same. In terms of species richness, all three biocoenoses had the same core species. The changes in the species composition mainly resulted from the changes in rare species. Transformation of the biocoenoses occurred mostly due to the introduction of invasive species which took the leading position within the biocenotic community. In fact, there was a successive replacement of dominant species. The biocoenosis of M. arenaria in the central part of the Kerch Strait is an intermediate one between the biocoenoses of lagoon cockle and half-crenated ark.
CLARIFICATION OF MORPHOLOGY AND ECOLOGY OF TWO SPECIES OF THE GENUS PECTENOGAMMARUS REID, 1940 (GAMMARIDAE, AMPHIPODA) FROM THE BLACK AND AZOV SEAS (CRIMEA)
Authors: Grincov V. .
Published: October 2024

The researchers studied the morphology and ecology of two species from the genus Pectenogammarus – Pectenogammarus olivii (H.Milne Edwards, 1830) and Pectenogammarus foxi (Schellenberg, 1928) from the Black and Azov Seas coasts of Crimea. It is found that the species P. foxi prefers pebble-sandy beaches, and the species P. olivii prefers rocky and rocky-boulder beaches. Morphological analysis of P. foxi and P. olivii shows that the differences in spines or setae between these species relate primarily to the epimeral and abdominal parts of the body. The nature of the location, the number of spines, the type (simple, plumose), and the number of setae on the epimeral plates of the second and third epimeron segments, the dorsal and subdorsal sections of the urosome, the outer edge of the outer ramus of the uropod 3, the inner edge of the inner ramus of the uropod 3, the outer edge of the lobes of the telson are analyzed. The features of the location, number, and type of setae and spines of the P. foxi species, which prefers a splash zone of beaches with regularly moving pebbles and sand, are the following: 1) the third epimeral plate is armed only with setae; 2) on the subdistal section of the inner edge of the inner ramus of the uropod 3, with an increase in the size of the individual, not only the number of spines and setae increases, but also the variety of their types. It indicates an increase in the polyfunctionality of this section as an individual grows; 3) on the subdorsal and dorsal sections of the first segment of the urosome, mainly setae are observed, and only occasionally spines (no more than 26 % of individuals). The features of the location and type of setae, and spines of the species of P. olivii, which prefers clusters of stones, boulders and other massive solid substrates in a splash zone are as follows: 1) the third epimeral plate is equipped not only with setae, but also with strong spines; 2) on the subdistal section of the inner edge of the inner ramus of uropods 3, only plumose setae are present, regardless of the study area; 3) on the subdorsal and dorsal sections of the first urosomal segment, only spikes are observed. It is revealed that the P. olivii species, inhabiting a complex environment comprising both massive artificial (concrete structures) and natural (boulders, stones) substrates in a surf-exposed coastal area, exhibits a reduction in the number of feathery setae on the outer edge of the outer ramus of the uropod 3, as well as on the inner edge of the inner ramus of the uropod 3. It is assumed that all the identified differences are related to the mobility of the substrates and hydrodynamic conditions in these complex habitats.
FRUTICICOLA TRANSBAICALIA TRANSBAICALIA (SCHILEYKO, 1978) (MOLLUSCA, PULMONATA) IN SAKHA (YAKUTIA)
Authors: Shikov E. , Nogovicyn P. , Gabyshev P.
Published: October 2024

In Eastern Siberia, specifically in the Olekma region in the south of the Republic of Sakha (Yakutia), a population of Fruticicola transbaicalia transbaicalia was discovered (Schileyko, 1978). The mollusks were collected by P. D. Gabyshev and P. R. Nogovitsyn at the foot of the steep slope along the bank of the Chara River at the confluence of the Tokko River. The Chara River flows into the Olekma River, which is a right tributary of the Lena River. The found population is the most northeastern point of the range of F. t. transbaicalia. The species inhabits a clayey rocky slope composed of carbonate rocks. On the slope there is a sparse pine forest with an undergrowth of Juniperus sibirica and Phlojodicarpus sibiricus. The moss-lichen layer is poorly developed, the grass-shrub cover is sparse, represented by Dasiphora fruticosa and Sanguisorba officinalis. The overall dimensions of the shells correspond to those of B. t. transbaicalia, previously indicated for this subspecies. All shells have four lines, indicating growth pauses in the autumn-winter periods, suggesting that the snails experienced five winters before reaching sexual maturity and complete shell formation. The only live juvenile snail found displays dark brown coloration at the anterior end of its body and tentacles. The body of the mollusk visible through the shell is mottled. It determines the snail’s coloration. Research in recent years has cast doubt on the species independence of F. transbaicalia. Analysis of the distribution of these species in Yakutia can contribute to resolving this controversial issue.

Authors: Ravina
Published: October 2024

Researchers and practitioners in management have noted a growing and sustained interest in issues related to spirituality in the workplace. This article reflects on the existing literature of workplace spirituality, highlights emerging theories, and explores the connections between job satisfaction and organizational citizenship behaviours (OCBs). Workplace spirituality has garnered growing attention in recent years. This article explores the interactions between the three variables, namely workplace spirituality, job satisfaction, and OCBs, and further examines the links of several kinds of OCBs with the three major aspects of workplace spirituality (that is, seeking meaning and purpose in work, acknowledging an inner life, and feeling connected to others). It was found that Job satisfaction plays a key role in this relationship. The study aims to offer valuable insights for improving management practices, leadership, and organizational growth by creating an environment that encourages workplace spirituality.

Authors: Hadi Samara Kadhim , Al-Marzoqi Ali H. , Al-Maaroof Zainab W
Published: October 2024

Background: About 5-10 million people worldwide have HTLV-1, which causes ATLL, HAM/TSP, and inflammation. HTLV-1, first human retrovirus. HTLV-1's role in hematologic and non-hematologic cancers is uncertain.This study studied the prevalence of HTLV-1 infection in hematologic and non-hematologic malignancies and the role of Pol and tax/rex genes in cancer.
Materials and Methods: The study included 83 leukemia patients and 25 healthy people. Serological and molecular testing was done on 49 males and 59 women aged 20–80. Blood and serum from controls and patients were tested. Lab, clinical, and genetic tests indicated healthy Babylonian Iraqi 20–80-year-olds. Human genomic RNA was isolated from patient and control whole blood cultures. The US-developed Promega human genomic RNA extraction kit collected RNA and DNA from research participants and healthy controls' entire blood samples. GoTaq® 1-Step RT-qPCR enhances genes.
Results: Shows leukemia types and cases. ALL had 8, 9, 4, and 7, CML 64 (77.1%). Statistics on gender leukemia. Men outnumbered women in CML 37/83 (44.6%) to 27/83 (32.5%). Cancer is mostly male except ALL (4.8%) and CML (44.6%). Age and leukemia subtypes. Leukemia patients (82.1%) and controls (0.9%) had higher HTLV-1/Pol and Tax-Rex genotype frequencies than healthy people (P = 0.1, OR 2.1). Genes Pol and Tax-Rex induced CML. The study found 58.5% of CML patients received Pol and 23.6% Tax-Rex.
Conclusions: Tax/rex genes are supposed to suggest cancer connected with pol genes, hence there is a substantial correlation between this gene and chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) compared to healthy people.

Published: October 2024

Introduction. Cervical cancer is one of the most common cancers of the female reproductive system, killing more than 250,000 women each year. The etiological agent that causes cervical cancer is well known. HPV infection with high oncogenic risk is the cause of more than 99% of cases of the disease. However, not all infections lead to cervical cancer: in the vast majority of women, the virus eliminates itself spontaneously within 2 years. Formation of HPV-associated cervical cancer depends on genetic and epigenetic factors, but the molecular pathogenesis of the disease is still insufficiently disclosed. The aim of the article is to analyze, systematize and summarize the available literature on the problems of prevalence, diagnosis, treatment, prevention, molecular genetic component. Material and methods. When writing this work, the main Internet resources were used: scientific electronic library (e-Library), Scopus, PubMed. The literature search was performed mainly for the previous 10 years. Results: The review contains articles describing genetic and epigenetic mechanisms of cervical cancer, modern methods of molecular-genetic diagnostics, as well as available statistical data on prevalence, prospects of prevention, diagnosis and treatment of this malignant disease.

Published: October 2024

Introduction. There is a steady increase in the incidence of type 2 diabetes worldwide. One of the most formidable complications of this pathology is the development of diabetic foot syndrome, which is accompanied by up to 50% of cases of high amputations, disability, increased mortality and a decrease in the quality of life of patients. The aim of the study: to study the prevalence of genotype and allele variants of the T1565C polymorphism of the ITGB3 gene, the G1691A polymorphism of the FV gene, and the G20210A polymorphism of the FII gene in patients with the development of diabetic foot syndrome, as well as in the control group living in the Trans-Baikal Territory. Material and methods. Polymorphism T1565C of the ITGB3 gene, G1691A polymorphism of the FV gene, and G20210A polymorphism of the FII gene were studied by PCR methods in 100 apparently healthy individuals and 198 patients with a mixed form of diabetic foot syndrome. The statistical significance of differences was assessed using Pearson’s chi-square test. Results. The T/T genotype of T1565C polymorphism of the ITGB3 gene among healthy individuals was found in 70%, among patients with diabetic foot – 60.3%. The T/C genotype of the studied polymorphism of the ITGB3 gene in the control group was recorded in 29%, in the group of patients in 37.7%. The C/C genotype was detected in 1% of healthy individuals and 2% of diabetic foot patients. The G/G genotype of the G1691A polymorphism of the FV gene was observed in 97% of healthy individuals and in 94% of patients among patients. The G/A genotype was detected in 3% in the control group and in 6% in the group of diabetic foot patients. The homozygous A/A genotype was not registered in the studied groups. The G/G genotype of the G20210A polymorphism of the FII gene was registered in 92% of healthy individuals and in 95.5% of patients with diabetic foot. The G/A genotype was detected in 8% of cases in the control group and 4.5% of cases among patients with diabetic foot. The homozygous A/A genotype was not detected in the examined groups. Conclusion: we did not find significant differences in the frequency of occurrence of genotype variants and alleles of the studied polymorphisms of the ITGB3, FV, FII genes among healthy individuals and patients with diabetic foot living in the Trans-Baikal Territory.

Introduction. According to modern concepts, the inflammatory process is one of the key links in the development of cardiovascular, autoimmune, neurological, oncological diseases, as well as metabolic syndrome, complications of diabetes mellitus, and pathologies of the respiratory system. The implementation of a normal inflammatory response requires metabolic and cellular resources, the functionality of enzymatic and antioxidant systems, which, in turn, depends on the body’s supply of macro- and microelements. Research has shown that zinc and copper are some of the main elements associated with inflammation. Purpose of the study. The purpose of the study was to examine the relationship between serum copper and zinc concentrations and markers of inflammation. Material and methods. The study examined correlations between serum copper and zinc concentrations and various measures of inflammation in 1,153 people aged 18 to 86 years. The concentrations of CRP, ESR, ferritin, ceruloplasmin, leukocytes, neutrophils, fibrinogen, uric acid, copper, and zinc were determined in those examined. Serum microelements were measured by ICP-MS; other indicators were determined by standard methods. Correlation analysis was carried out using the Spearman coefficient. Results. The strongest statistically significant correlations (p 0.05) were found between copper and ceruloplasmin (r=0.612), as well as between copper and CRP (r=0.474) and ESR (r=0.421). Serum copper and zinc showed statistically significant but weak correlations with most inflammatory markers. Conclusion. The study showed the presence of statistically significant moderate, medium and weak correlations of serum copper and zinc concentrations with inflammation markers, which is due to many intermediate processes and intermediary metabolic reactions between these indicators.

Published: October 2024

Maluku as an archipelago region contains cultural richness from various aspects by its indigenous people, especially local languages ​​which are a means of conveying thoughts and ideas. Local languages ​​themselves have institutionalized identity values ​​within the indigenous people who adhere to them because reality shows that the language in question confirms its origin. The difficulty is the inability of society to adapt to the development of globalization without ignoring regional languages ​​as local wisdom and identity. Of course this shows a shift to the point of language extinction, the existence of indigenous countries is also threatened due to the loss of identity as a marker of their identity. From the description of the reality of this indigenous community, strategic steps need to be taken, namely consolidating the local language (Alune) of Lohiatala Country which in the past was used to interact by ancestors into written form, this is because in the present it is generally unknown to the younger generation or school-age children. Furthermore, it is followed up by writing a dictionary of local language vocabulary so that it can be studied by the community today and in the future. This activity will be carried out through one of the Tridharma of higher education, namely Community Service with a verification method (confirmation of the writing of the definition of the local language per vocabulary accompanied by its meaning in Indonesian) against the results of the search that has been carried out in 2023, and the publication of the dictionary book "Bahasa Alune Orang Lohiatala" with ISBN

Based on information provided by the Head of the Catfish Farming Village. The problem encountered in catfish farming villages during the breeding process after catfish farming is that many catfish seeds are eaten by bird pests at night, especially giant shrimp bird pests. According to the partners, the reduction could be up to 50-65% of the total amount of seeds added to the rearing pond. During a nighttime on-site investigation, it was discovered that the catfish pond area was not lit. Therefore, in this charitable activity, we try to provide a lighting solution for catfish ponds and repel kingfisher pests by using environmentally friendly energy, green energy, especially through the use of solar panels. The hope is to be able to reduce bird pests and not burden the partners with monthly electricity bills. From the results obtained in the field, it is known that the result the absence of lighting in the catfish pond area makes king prawn pests eat more catfish seeds than if lighting was provided using flicker flame LED lights and the installation of an off grid solar PV system was not burdensome catfish farmers regarding electricity bills used for lighting.

El gato del pajonal es un felino nativo cuya distribución en la provincia de Entre Ríos es controvertida. Teniendo en cuenta la baja disponibilidad de hábitat favorable, la limitada conectividad de los mismos y su transformación debido a cambios de uso y cobertura del suelo, sumado a otras amenazas, como los atropellos y la caza furtiva, se considera al complejo “gato de pajonal”  en la categoría Vulnerable. Si bien se los ha reportado en diversos mapas de distribución, los registros no se basan en evidencias objetivas como por ejemplo: fotografías, videos, mapas de atropellamientos, avistamientos de expertos, ADN, entre otros, discutiéndose los pocos registros publicados en los últimos años para la provincia. De la revisión de publicaciones científicas, tesis, noticias periodísticas, informes gubernamentales, evidencias directas con personas testigos, presencia de restos en Museos Regionales, registros en sitios de libre acceso (GBIF, Inaturalist, EcoRegistros, Red Argentina de Fauna Atropellada), no hay evidencia reciente sobre su presencia que hacen pensar un posible proceso de extinción. Esta situación permitiría sostener que su distribución propuesta debería ser corroborada fehacientemente, para asegurar su presencia o ausencia. Se propone un mapa de distribución acorde a la información relevada y se recomienda reforzar los trabajos de búsqueda y monitoreo de este felino silvestre con apoyo de los organismos provinciales, en particular el Sistema de Áreas Naturales Protegidas y la Red de Reservas Privadas, involucrando a las ONG con trabajo  territorial y promoviendo trabajos de investigación específicos.

The Image Analyzer Encryption Algorithm offers a novel approach to securing financial data by leveraging image-based encryption techniques alongside traditional cryptographic methods, such as AES. This research explores the design and implementation of the algorithm, which converts structured financial data into encrypted images using chaotic encryption and fractal analysis. The algorithm's performance was tested in a simulated financial environment, comparing it against traditional methods like RSA and AES. Results showed that the Image Analyzer demonstrated strong resistance to brute-force and quantum-based attacks, achieving a 90% success rate against quantum algorithms such as Grover’s and Shor’s. Although the algorithm introduced a modest increase in computational overhead, it remained efficient enough for real-time financial applications, offering significant scalability and flexibility across various data types. In addition, the algorithm’s parallel processing capabilities further optimized its performance, reducing bottlenecks during key generation and data transformation stages. This encryption model represents a next-generation solution for financial security, addressing vulnerabilities posed by the advent of quantum computing and increasingly sophisticated cryptanalytic techniques. Its ability to provide robust, quantum-resistant encryption makes it a critical tool for safeguarding financial transactions in the digital age.

Authors: Bertin Mikolo  , Michel Elenga  , Kédar Tsoumou
Published: October 2024

Cassava is a staple crop in many African countries, contributing to the production of various food products such as gari, cassava flour, and fufu. However, quality defects in these products are prevalent, particularly at the small-scale production level. This study analyzes the causes of these defects using the Ishikawa diagram, focusing on key factors such as materials, methods, manpower, machinery, and environment (5Ms). A comprehensive literature review revealed that inconsistent processing techniques, poor-quality raw materials, lack of training, and inadequate equipment are major contributors to product defects like microbial contamination, moisture imbalances, and texture inconsistencies. The study emphasizes that small-scale producers face greater challenges due to limited access to improved technology and standardized practices, while industrial producers benefit from more control over production processes. Recommendations include improving training, access to better equipment, and post-harvest storage solutions, alongside enhanced cassava root quality management. This analysis provides a framework for addressing quality control issues in cassava-derived products, ultimately improving food safety and product consistency across both small-scale and industrial production settings.

Objectives: Liver cirrhosis, when decompensated; is associated with considerable morbidity and mortality. Scoring systems used to define the severity of cirrhosis and predict mortality include several clinical and biochemical parameters. Serum ferritin is a universally available biomarker, elevated in inflammatory conditions including hepatic necroinflammation. The study aimed to analyze whether serum ferritin has a role as a biomarker of decompensation and correlation with severity in cirrhotic patients. Methods: 131 patients with cirrhosis; both compensated and decompensated admitted at Gastroenterology, BIRDEM General Hospital, Dhaka, Bangladesh from November 2019 to March 2022 were included in this cross-sectional study. To determine severity, Child-Turcotte-Pugh (CTP), Model for End-Stage Liver Disease (MELD) and MELD-sodium (MELD-Na) were estimated. Comparison of ferritin between and among different groups was done and the relationship with severity was assessed. Results: Serum ferritin was significantly higher in decompensated (mean 474.20±769.53 ng/mL) than in compensated (80.85±35.31) cirrhosis patients (P<0.001). Ferritin levels among different CTP grading differed significantly (P<0.001). It was higher in grade C (694.14±975.57) than in grade B (213.02±219.17) and A (80.85±35.31) as per pairwise comparison. Moderate positive correlations were observed between ferritin and MELD along with MELD-Na scores. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) analysis of serum ferritin for predicting hepatic decompensation gave a significant area under the curve (AUC) value (0.821) and the best cut-off value was 105.5 ng/mL (sensitivity 76.2%, specificity 84.6%). Conclusion: The study suggests serum ferritin can be used as an alternate biomarker for screening hepatic decompensation and stratifying severity.

Antimicrobial and antitumor activities of bovine colostrum peptide and its synthesized analogue were carried out. The peptide was produced by standard solid phase synthesis followed by purification by high-performance liquid chromatography. Peptide purity and primary structure were confirmed by MALDI and ESI MS. It was found that the synthesized peptide with ACSAG amino acid sequence and a molecular weight of 430.2332 was an analogue of the natural one. The synthesized peptide had a high hydrophilic value and isoelectric point of 5.22. The obtained data theoretically confirm that the studied peptide belongs to a class of antimicrobial peptides. It was experimentally established that both natural and synthesized peptides had antimicrobial activity against E. coli ATCC 25922, P. aeruginosa 27/99 and B. subtilis АТСС 6633, antifungal and anti-tumor activity against C6 cells. After 48 h there was a significant 50% decrease in the tumor cells population at the concentration of the natural peptide of 365.5±3.8 mg.ml-1, and the synthesized peptide concentration of 312.7±3.5 mg.ml-1 in the nutrient medium. This synthesized peptide has a greater biological activity and can be effective at lower concentrations, than the natural one.
