Background: Cerebral sinus venous thrombosis (CSVT) is a rare complication in children, usually secondary to an underlying condition. Recent guidelines recommend treating all pediatric patients with CSVT, but also suggest that treatment longer than three months should not be justified in provoked cases in which the risk factor has disappeared. Methods: Retrospective observational study analyzing data of CSVT in children (1-18 years-old) admitted in a single hospital. Demographic data, clinical presentation, etiology, extension, treatment and outcome were evaluated. Results: Thirty-one patients had a confirmed CSVT. Sixteen were girls, mean age was 7.3 years (SD 4.39). Sigmoid sinus (n=17) and transverse sinus (n=14) were the most frequent sinuses affected. Multiple sinus thrombosis was found in 20 patients (64.5%). Underlying condition was described in 29 cases: infectious disease (n=20), major head trauma (n=4), chemotherapy (n=3), arteriovenous malformation (n=2). More frequent symptoms were: headache (n= 15), decreased level of consciousness (n=5), seizures (n=3), focal neurological deficit (n=2), papilledema (n=2), diplopia (n=2), vision impairment (n=1), and coma (n=4). All patients received anticoagulant treatment. Complete vein recanalization after 3 months was achieved in 53.3% of the cases. Treatment was prolonged up to 6 months in those patients with partial or no response (n=14). Seven of them improved radiological findings. Complete and partial vein recanalization were reported in 73.3% and 20% of the patients. Conclusion: Anticoagulation was useful to achieve complete vein recanalization in this series. Extending anticoagulation up to 6 months could be useful to improve outcome of pediatric patients with CSVT in selected cases.

Elevated/altered levels of dissolved organic matter (DOM) in water can be challenging to treat after wildfire. Biologically-mediated treatment removes some DOM; its ability to remove elevated/altered post-fire dissolved organic carbon (DOC) resulting from wildfire ash was investigated for the first time. Treatment of wildfire ash-amended (low, moderate, high) source waters by bench-scale biofilters was evaluated in duplicate. Turbidity and DOC were typically well-removed (effluent turbidity ≤ 0.3 NTU; average DOC removal ~20%) in all biofilters during periods of stable source water quality. Daily DOC removal across all biofilters (ash-amended and controls) was generally consistent, suggesting that (i) the biofilter DOC biodegradation capacity was not deleteriously impacted by the ash and (ii) the biofilters buffered the ash-associated increases in water extractable organic matter. DOM fractionation indicates this was because the biodegradable low molecular weight neutral fractions of DOM which increased with ash addition were reduced by biofiltration, while humic substances were largely recalcitrant. Thus, biological filtration was resilient to wildfire ash-associated DOM threats to drinking water treatment, but operational resilience may be compromised if the balance between readily removed and recalcitrant fractions of DOM change, as was observed during brief periods herein.

Published: January 2023

The allelopathic effect on seed germination, seedling growth, fresh weight, dry weight, total chlorophyll and cell metabolic activity of yard long bean (Vigna unguiculata subsp. sesquipedalis L.verd) and maize (Zea maize L.) to the water extract of root exudates of Polygonum hydropiper L. (T1), Amaranthus spinosus L. (T2), Eclipta alba L. (T3), Mimosa pudica L. (T4) and Cynodon dactylon (G. Don) Exell (T5) were investigated in this study. Allelopathic testing of root exudates on five weed species revealed that all extracts had a noticeable inhibitory effect on tested crops. The results showed that the concentrated aqueous root exudates of T1, T4 and T5 reduced all parameters on both test crops. Yard long bean was more sensitive to the inhibitory effects than maize. The findings suggested that root exudates may affect yard long bean and maize seeds due to the inhibitory effect of allelochemicals present in the tested weeds.

Published: January 2023

Influence of forest canopy types on nutrient availability in litter and soil pools of a forest ecosystem was studied. Four plots each were chosen randomly for open and close forest canopies. In each plot, 4 belt transects were laid, and in each transect, vegetation was sampled. Four litter traps were set in each plot, to collect litter samples in open and close canopies. In each plot, three soil samples (at 0-15 and 15-30 cm) were obtained in the open and close canopies with a soil auger and conveyed to the laboratory for analyses. The open and close canopy plots had 10 and 15 tree species. The close canopy had higher values for sand (91.19±0.01%), and silt (6.56± 0.01%) while the open canopy had high values for clay (3.13±0.01%). The pH of soil was very strongly acidic in the open (4.93±0.02) and close (4.56±0.58) canopies. Higher values for electrical conductivity (0.08±0.005 ds/m), total nitrogen (0.08±0.003 %), organic carbon (3.13±0.001 %), available phosphorus (13.06±0.01mg/kg), Ca (12.04±0.02 cmol/kg), Mg (6.62±0.58 cmol/kg), EA (2.25±0.01 cmol/kg) and ECEC (21.27±1.15 cmol/kg) were recorded in soil of the close canopy while higher values for Na (0.11±0.01 cmol/kg), K (0.13±0.02 cmol/kg) and base saturation (90.83±0.01%) were recorded in soil of the open canopy. For the litter, organic carbon (45.25±7.31%), total nitrogen (1.14±0.06%), Ca (18.33±1.45mg/kg), Mg (8.91±1.16mg/kg), K (284.89±12.25mg/kg), Na (75.71±8.32mg/kg) and P (2.60±0.41mg/kg) were higher in the close forest canopy. This study has implications in deforestation, nutrient availability and cycling as well as forest management and protection.
INSIGHTS OF CASTE DETERMINATIONS IN SOCIAL INSECTS

Published: January 2023

Eusocial insects display caste structures in which reproductive ability is possessed by a single or a few queens while all other colony members act as workers. In social insects like ants, bees, and termites, vital physiological processes are regulated at the colony scale. Females in social insects have at least one reproductive caste and one nonreproductive caste; many termites have at least two male castes. The castes have considerable anatomical, physiological, and behavioural differences in higher social insects. Organismal systems, such as pheromone sensing, hormone signaling, and brain signaling pathways, are deployed in novel circumstances to impact nestmate and colony behaviours due to physiological decentralization over evolutionary time. Significant morphogenesis with region-specific cellular proliferation and degradation occurs during soldier development through two moulting via a presoldier stage in termite. JH action has been developed, in which a high JH titer causes soldier differentiation and a low JH titer causes alate differentiation. A monogamous pair of primary reproductives (one king and one queen) generated from alates normally establishes termite colonies (winged adults). The nymph-alate pathway (sexual pathway) or the worker pathway differentiates larvae in Reticulitermes termites (neuter pathway). Haplo-diploid sex determination controls the first developmental transition, in which unfertilized (haploid) embryos become males and fertilized (diploid) embryos become females in the case of Cataglyphis ant genus. The queen’s mandibular gland secretion, a mix of fatty acids and aromatic chemicals, is critical for maintaining the reproductive division of labour in honeybees (Apis mellifera), suppressing ovary growth in workers. Besides this, the brood produced by the queen also inhibits ovary development in workers by emitting two pheromones: the brood pheromone (BP), mainly composed of esters, and the highly volatile E-b-ocimene.

Published: January 2023

Chemical pesticides can present toxic effects to human beings, and they are classified based on chemical characterization, presenting 300 active substances and more than 2000 different formulations. Their overuse can represent a significant risk factor to human health. Therefore, it is essential to investigate the putative association between health harms and pesticides because this information can be helpful for monitoring and controlling pesticide exposure. This study aims to analyze secondary data about pesticides and their effects on genes and disease phenotypes leading to health harm. For this, we used information about pesticides available on the Ministry of Agriculture, Livestock Breeding, and Supply documents. We also use the Set Analyzer tool available on the Comparative Toxicogenomics Database (CTD) to verify a putative association between pesticides and their specific chemical groups to human diseases. Finally, we use variance analysis to evaluate them for statistical purposes. Results showed that 127 chemical groups could be found in food, and they are classified into eight functional classes of pesticides used against pests in food crops. These functional classes are acaricides, bactericides, fungicides, herbicides, insecticides, molluscicides, nematicides, and plant growth regulators. Furthermore, data obtained from the CTD showed a predominance of digestive, nervous, respiratory, and skin diseases as the significant harms caused by pesticide exposure. Results also showed that all the pesticides’ functional classes affect genes associated with cancer development. Considering all the 127 chemical groups, we identified 145321 genes affected by these substances: 49733 genes affected by acaricides, 26832 genes affected by fungicides, 22687 genes affected by herbicides, 42681 genes affected by insecticides, 15842 genes affected by molluscicides, 15842 genes affected by nematicides, and 17217 genes affected by plant growth regulators. Organophosphates are the primary chemical group responsible for genetic effects, mainly leading to cancer and nervous system diseases. So, we conclude that seven different chemical groups can affect genes associated with cancer development and also concluded pesticide use could be related to genes effects and diseases development which can lead to health harms.

Authors: Leizou Kaywood Elijah , Timighe Gift Cornelius , Ashraf Muhammad Aqeel
Published: January 2023

Environmental pollution has become a cross-cutting issue in recent decades, garnering the attention of governments, governmental agencies, the general public, and scientific communities, and (PAHs) is one of the biggest hazards to public health. PAHs were evaluated in Niger Delta soils using a gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) technique to assess their distribution, exposure, and carcinogenicity risk. The SS1 location in the city had the highest amounts of PAH. The toxic equivalency factor (TEF), incremental lifetime cancer risk (ILCRs) and as well as a global comparison analysis was employed. The results showed that three city sample locations surpassed the clean-up standards for BaP, 0.1 mg/kg, according to the data. Carcinogenic polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) are those polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) determined as Group A (known human) and Group B (probable) carcinogens and currently seven PAHs classified probable human carcinogens (Group B2). The majority of the risk associated with PAHs is attributed to benzo (a) pyrene and a few other PAHs. The results further revealed that six out of the seven HMW PAHs are known human carcinogens. The results of this study were found to be within permissible levels recommended. However, the authors strongly advocate a remediation alternative aiming at decontaminating the PAH-polluted soils at SS1, SS3, and SS2.

This study was carried out to assess the impact or effect of industrial activities and refuse dump site on the quality of water used for domestic and sanitary purposes in parts of Port Harcourt metropolis, Rivers State Nigeria. The quality assessment was focused on physiochemical parameters. A total of twenty water samples were collected from twenty locations (randomly selected from industrial and refuse dump site areas) within the study area. Ten major physiochemical parameters which include: potency of hydrogen (PH), salinity, electrical conductivity, total dissolved solids (TDS), turbidity (NTU), calcium (Ca2+), magnesium (Mg2+), chloride (Cl), sulphate (SO42-) and nitrate (NO3-) were analyzed. The results obtained were compared with the standards of World Health Organization (WHO) and show that the water samples have PH values between 3.78 and 7.23 which is not within the permissible limit of WHO and thus, indicating that they are acidic and not fit for domestic purposes. Salinity values range between 0.018 and 0.202mg/L indicating that the water is fresh and good for sanitary purpose, electrical conductivity values range between 38.0 and 378.7μΩ/cm, total dissolved solid and turbidity values range from 32.7 to 263.0mg/L and 0.2 to 0.9NTU respectively which is within the limit prescribed by WHO. The concentration of nitrate and sulphate range between 0.47 and 3.00mg/L and <1.0 and 17.2mg/L respectively after analysis and are within the limit prescribed by WHO. The knowledge from this study can be applied in environmental and water management studies and hydrological activities.
A REVIEW: EFFECTS OF NITROGENOUS FERTILIZERS ON SOIL (PH, MICROBIAL COMMUNITY, GREENHOUSE GASES EMISSION AND CARBON POOL)

Published: January 2023

With world population increasing at such fast rate and land available to cultivate decreasing substantially, it is of prime need to increase the productivity. This is the reason of increasing use of fertilizer in the world especially N fertilizer because of its direct influence on growth attributes. The main objective of this article is to review the existing literature regarding the effect of nitrogen fertilizer application in soil pH, microbial community, soil carbon pool and emission of Green House Gases. Most researches have shown urea to be the major source of anthropogenic N addition to soil. Studies have concluded that the unmanaged application of N fertilizers in excess amount than what crops utilize is the nerve center favoring pH change. In regards to their impact in microbial community, previous land management practice seemed pivotal. Also, abundance and diversity of greater fraction of microbes (fungi and bacteria) narrowed down with intensified application in cultivated soils in majority of trails studied. Increased efflux of CO2 and N2O was observed in soil fertilized with N however, CH4 emission was limited as methanotrophs were replaced with nitrifiers. Acid rain was highly favored with such emissions. No changes in soil organic carbon pool were seen in short period but in due course of time, decomposition or turnover rate decreased increasing the stability of carbon under lignin rich root residues. Therefore, alterations varying with depth have been noticed in soils treated with N due to mineral association.

During the COVID-19 pandemic number of patients suffering from symptoms, decreased work ability and the deterioration in quality of life for several weeks and even months after the onset of the disease is increasing. The aim of the literature review is to search and study the existing literature data regarding the lung impairment features in COVID-19, as well as the morphological and pathophysiological prerequisites for the long-term respiratory disorders in patients who have had this disease. The most common complaints of patients after acute COVID-19 are fatigue, dyspnea, cough and chest discomfort. In these cases restrictive pattern in the pulmonary function test, a reduced gas transfer and persistent changes in computed tomography often in the form of fibrosis are observed, less often in the form of bullous-emphysematous changes, bronchiectasis and pleural effusion. The main pathophysiological mechanisms of acute lung impairment in COVID-19 are direct viral toxicity, impaired function of the immune system, hyperinflammatory response, endotheliopathy, microcirculatory disorders and increased blood clotting with small and large vessels thrombosis, which can lead to pneumonia or acute respiratory distress syndrome. After the acute phase of COVID-19 the pathology of the lung can be caused by an immunogenic and hyperinflammatory response, hypercoagulability and lead to pulmonary fibrosis. The possible mechanisms of the pulmonary fibrosis are thrombotic processes, hemosiderosis, necrotic capillaritis, angiogenesis, hypoxia, cytokine storm. Thus abnormal immune response, hyperinflammation, endothelial dysfunction and excessive coagulation not only cause pneumonia or acute respiratory distress syndrome in acute COVID-19, but also may persist for a long time and contribute to pulmonary fibrosis in some patients. The causes of a longer duration and increased severity of the lung impairment in some people compared to others are the subject of current investigations.

To date, despite significant advances in the study of the immunopathogenesis of chronic hepatitis C (CHC), many open questions remain in the diagnosis, prediction and course of treatment. In the context of the study of this infection, the Toll-like gene family of innate immune system receptors (TLRs) is of considerable interest. The article analyzes and summarizes the data of professional scientific sources on the role of the TLR-4 gene in the functioning of the natural human immune system, as well as Asp299Gly polymorphism of this gene in the immunopathogenesis of CHC. The relevance of the study is due to the fact that the innate immune system is crucial in the primary protection of the macroorganism from pathogens, the recognition of which largely depends on the TLRs receptor gene family, and genetic analysis is a modern and promising direction in personalized medicine. The importance of determining genetic markers lies in the fact that regardless of age and other factors of the external and internal environment, they carry information about the predisposition to various diseases, which can be used in the formation of a genetic passport. The data concerning the influence of the Asp299Gly polymorphism of the TLR4 gene on the immunopathogenesis of CHC are contradictory and require further investigation. An in-depth study of this issue will improve the therapeutic and diagnostic tactics of this disease based on a comprehensive assessment of the features of the immune response, which are caused by the carriage of the indicated polymorphism in the human genome.

The parapharyngeal space is a complex structure, being narrow and difficult for surgical approach. Surgical treatment is the main treatment for parapharyngeal space (PPS) tumors, it is performed on the basis of information obtained from imaging methods (computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)). Objective – to investigate the effectiveness of advanced visualization of radiological research methods in the diagnosis of the parapharyngeal space tumors in order to select the necessary tactics of surgical treatment. This retrospective study included 43 patients who underwent surgery for primary parapharyngeal space tumors from 2010 to 2021. 32 patients were treated in previous 10 years, 11 – patients who underwent examination and surgical treatment over the past 2 years with advanced methods of MRI and CT to select a safe surgical approach. Patients of the 2nd group underwent advanced MRI and CT studies in order to choose the correct method of surgical approach and prevent postoperative complications and recurrence. The histological conclusion in 90.1% of the operated patients confirmed the preliminary data of MRI perfusion regarding the probable histological structure of the neoplasm. Due to a comprehensive preoperative study, in 81.8% of patients in this group transoral approach was used. Our experience confirms the necessity for a thorough preoperative diagnostic procedure that should take advantage of imaging modalities (CT, MRI), especially new techniques (MRI-perfusion and diffusion weighted imaging).

Published: January 2023

Exercise is a major factor in the development of occupational pathology of the connective tissue and musculoskeletal system, including chronic lumbosacral radiculopathy (LSRP), which accounts for 20% of occupational diseases in Ukraine. Some problems remain insufficiently studied despite a significant number of scientific works devoted to the study of issues of etiology, pathogenesis, features of clinical manifestations, the use of diagnostic and prophylactic measures in LSRP. The criteria for diagnosing changes in the peripheral nervous system need to be clarified and systematized by in-depth study of the functional state of the nervous apparatus in patients with LSRP of professional genesis.  The research was carried out in a group of 60 miners of the main professions (coal-cutter, mining worker of a clearing pit (MWCP), drifter) suffering from LSRP. The activity of the neuromuscular apparatus was assessed according to the indices of electroneuromyography (ENMG), namely: the amplitude of the M-response during stimulation at the distal point of the right and left m. Abductor Hallucis, n. Plantar Medial, S1, S2 (mV), as well as indicators of terminal and residual latencies (ms), the speed of the impulse along the indicated nerves (m/s). It was found that the average amplitude of the M-response during stimulation at the distal point m. Abductor Hallucis, n. Plantar Medial in the MWCF group was at 6.37 mV (with a reference value of 4-5.8 mV), the average pulse conduction velocity was 38.46 m/s (with a reference value of 40.00 -50.00 m/s), it was found that most often in the group of coal-cutters (64.2%), a pathological indicator of terminal latency was recorded, while in a group of drifter, it did not go beyond the normal range in one of the surveyed miners suffering from LSRP of occupational genesis. Thus, ENMG of the long nerves of the lower extremities is a useful tool of objectifying the diagnosis of LSRP of ocupational genesis, it allows to determine the degree of impairment of the functional activity of peripheral nerves, neuromuscular synapses and the contractility of the striated muscles.

Published: January 2023

En este trabajo se analiza el género de los nombres de las vías públicas de la ciudad de Zaragoza (España), dada la importancia que tienen los nombres como una manera de transmitir y perpetuar determinados valores. El análisis tiene dos vertientes: por un lado, cuantitativo, contabilizando el número de calles de género femenino y clasificándolas en función de su trayectoria vital y atributos profesionales; y por otro lado, realizando un estudio con técnica de SIG (Sistemas de Información Geográfica) para analizar dónde se encuentran estas vías y sus principales características. Las conclusiones más evidentes son la escasa representación de las mujeres en el callejero, con un perfil de mujeres más tradicional, y la heterogénea distribución espacial en los distintos distritos.

The French National Reference Centre for Escherichia coli, Shigella and Salmonella (FNRC-ESS) detected two human clusters of 33 cases (median age: 10 years; 17 females) infected by Salmonella enterica serotype Bovismorbificans, ST142, HC5_243255 (EnteroBase HierCC‑cgMLST scheme) in September–November 2020 and of 11 cases (median age: 11 years; seven males) infected by S. enterica serotype 4,12:i:-, ST34, HC5_198125 in October–December 2020. Epidemiological investigations conducted by Santé publique France linked these outbreaks to the consumption of dried pork sausages from the same manufacturer. S. Bovismorbificans and S. 4,12:i:- were isolated by the National Reference Laboratory from different food samples, but both strains were identified in a single food sample only by qPCR. Three recalls and withdrawals of dried pork products were issued by the French general directorate of food of the French ministry for agriculture and food in November 2020, affecting eight supermarket chains. A notification on the European Rapid Alert System for Food and Feed and a European urgent enquiry on the Epidemic Intelligence Information System for Food and Waterborne Diseases and Zoonoses (EPIS-FWD) were launched. No cases were reported outside France. Outbreaks caused by multiple serotypes of Salmonella may go undetected by protocols in standard procedures in microbiology laboratories.

Targets and challenges of sports journalism in Azerbaijan
Authors: Bayramova Z.C.
Published: January 2023

Given the local and global interest in sport, sport journalism occupies a place of considerable power and inﬂuence. As in other forms of journalism, sport journalists are focused on topical issues, as well as personal and lifestyle-related stories. In the case of sport journalists, this is centred around the challenges and achievements facing athletes, coaches, organisations and all those involved with the sporting industries. Some sport journalists pursue a career as reporters, while others may be editors. In some countries, this type of journalism is regarded as highly specialised, requiring long-term development of skills and techniques. However, this approach is not generally reﬂected in Azerbaijan. More precisely, some experts believe that the sports media remains in the shadow of other ﬁelds of journalism. Nevertheless, it should be noted that, despite certain shortcomings, progress has been observed in the sporting media of Azerbaijan in recent years. There are a growing number of dedicated TV channels, magazines and online portals. As Azerbaijan gains a global reputation for sporting innovation, there is a growing need for this focus on innovation to be reﬂected in the ﬁeld sport journalism. Put simply, Azerbaijan has become a worldwide sporting success story. And it needs world- class journalists able to tell that story.

Fiziki keyfiyyətlərin inkişaf səviyyəsini müəyyənləşdirən yüksək fiziki hazırlıq fəaliyyətin bütün sahələrində - tədris, əmək, əlbəttəki, idmanda işgörmə qabiliyyətin əsası sayılır.

Hazırda müəyyən edilmişdir ki, hər bir fiziki keyfiyyətlərin quruluşu həddindən artıq mürəkkəb olub, qabiliyyətin bu və ya digər qrupuna daxil olan komponentlər hər bir şəxsdə (fərddə) eyni olmur. Belə ki, koordinasiya qabiliyyətinin əsas komponentləri səmtləşməyə, dəqiq qavramaya, məkan fərqiliyinə, hərəkətin ritminə olan hissiyyatın qüvvə və zaman parametrlərinə, hərəki fəaliyyətin yenidən quruluşuna, eyni zamanda əzələlərin sərbəst boşalmasına, vestibulyar aparatın dayanıqlığına və müvazinətin saxlama qabiliyyətinə aiddir.

Koordinasiya qabiliyyətinin yüksək səviyyəsi – hərəki fəaliyyətin yeni növlərinin qavranması üçün əsas bünövrədir (bazadır). Hərəki fəaliyyətin, xüsusən idmanda, qavrama prosesi kifayət qədər müvəffəqiyyətlə gedir, əgər məşğul olanın yüksək inkişaf etmə qabiliyyəti varsa, o, icra etdiyi hərəkətlərlə özünü və bədənini idarə edə bilər.

Gelişen teknolojik durumlara bağlı olarak, insanların alternatif ısıtma yöntemleri kullanma eğilimleri artmaktadır. Mevcut çalışmada, limon kabuğu tozundan, 3 farklı asit türü (sülfirik, hidroklorik ve nitrik asit) kullanılarak ayarlanmış sabit pH 1.5 değerinde, sabit katı:sıvı oranında (1:40) ve 10 V/cm voltaj gradyanında 20 °C den 80 °C ye kadar ısıtılması ve 80 °C ekstraksiyon sıcaklığında 10 dakikalık işlem süresi sonunda elektriksel iletkenlik değerinin değişimini ve asit türünün pektin verimi üzerine etkisinin incelenmesi amaçlanmıştır. Yapılan değerlendirme sonucunda, örneklerin ohmik ısıtma destekli ekstraksiyon sisteminde ısınma sürelerinin 199 ile 252 s arasında değiştiği, elektriksel iletkenlik değerinin ise 0.89 ile 2.10 S/m arasında değiştiği belirlenmiştir. Ek olarak, sıcaklık değeri arttıkça 3 farklı asit türü içinde elektriksel iletkenlik değerinin artış gösterdiği tespit edilmiştir. Bunun yanı sıra ohmik ısıtma destekli ekstraksiyon işlemi kullanılarak 3 farklı asit türü için % pektin verimi değerlerinin %8.88 ile %10.72 arasında değiştiği ve en yüksek pektin veriminin sülfürik asit çözeltisi kullanılarak gerçekleştirilen ekstraksiyon işleminde elde edilmiştir. Farklı asit türü kullanımının ısınma süresi, elektriksel iletkenlik ve pektin verimi üzerine anlamlı bir etkiye sahip olduğu (p0.05). Elde edilen bulgular sonucunda ohmik ısıtma destekli ekstraksiyon sistemi kullanılarak pektin ekstraksiyon işleminin başarılı bir şekilde yapılabileceği tespit edilmiştir. Güncel ısıtma yöntemlerinin bu tarz ürünlerin ekstraksiyonunda kullanılmasının literatüre ciddi katkı sağlaması beklenmektedir.
