Psychological Stress, Depression, Anxiety, and Fear: A Cross-Sectional Observational Study on Young Adults’ Mental Health During the COVID-19 Pandemic (Preprint)
Authors: Shazley Omar , Wiciak Michelle , Santosh Daphne
Published: October 2023

BACKGROUND

The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic impacted global mental health, especially in young adults.

OBJECTIVE

This study assessed the psychological impact COVID-19 had on mental health (i.e., PTSD, anxiety, fear) in young adults ages 18 to 28 and demographic differences in this population.

METHODS

Data were collected between September 2020 and January 2021 through an online survey. The survey used various questionnaires to collect information that included demographics, COVID-19-related questions (quarantine status, hospitalization history, diagnosis), depression (the 9-item Patient Health Questionnaire (PHQ-9)), anxiety (the 7-item Generalized Anxiety Disorder (GAD-7)), stress from the pandemic (Impact of Events Scale-Revised (IES-R)), and the Fear of COVID-19 Scale (FCV-19S). 183 responses were validated by inclusion/exclusion criteria. All statistical analyses were set at alpha=0.05.

RESULTS

Over 70% of participants (n=129) had at least mild anxiety, nearly 80% of participants (n=136) had at least mild depression, almost 40% (n=61) met criteria for post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) from the pandemic, and nearly 50% (n=88) had a high level of fear of COVID-19. Females had higher anxiety scores (t(173)=-3.352, p<.001), depression (t(166)=-3.310, p=.001), and trauma from COVID-19 ((t(151)=-2.004, p=.047) compared to males. Those who identified Hispanic/Latino/a/x had higher depression (F(2,156)=7.761, p<.001) and IES-R scores (F(2,143)=3.999, p=.020). We found that age in 2020 was associated with IES-R total scores F(1,154)=4.230, p=0.041, R2=0.027, adjusted R2=0.2. Those who were mandated a quarantine had lower anxiety (F(2,175)=3.442, p=.034) and depression (F(2,170)=3.092, p=.048) scores than those not mandated. Those who had someone close to them mandated a quarantine had lower anxiety (t(162.184)=2.705, p=.008) and IES-R scores (t(149)=2.169; p=.032) than those not mandated. Those who had someone close to them hospitalized due to a COVID-19 infection had lower anxiety scores (t(127)=2.855, p=.005), depression scores (t(123)=3.111, p=.002), and IES-R scores (t(152)=-1.975, p=.050) than those who did not have someone close to them hospitalized.

CONCLUSIONS

Overall, we found significant mental health findings with various demographic differences that need further investigation and consideration. Furthermore, we found evidence suggesting the impact of an individual’s social circle on a person’s health during the pandemic. We recommend continued efforts to identify risk factors in vulnerable populations from the pandemic, especially in mental health, and significant public health measures to protect these populations in the future.

Published: October 2023

BACKGROUND

Sleep problems and depression are common among cancer survivors and there is an urgent need for effective strategies to improve their long-term health and survival. However, evidence of the association between sleep duration, depression, and mortality in cancer survivors is limited.

OBJECTIVE

To examine the individual and joint associations of baseline sleep duration and depression with follow-up all-cause, cancer-specific, and non-cancer mortality in a nationally representative US sample of cancer survivors.

METHODS

Participants were involved in the National Health and Nutrition Examination Surveys from 2005 to 2014 and were linked to a mortality database up to 31 December 2019. Sleep duration was self-reported at baseline, whereby participants were asked “How many (hours) did you sleep (<6, 6, 7, 8, or >8 h/day)?” Depression was assessed using the nine-item Patient Health Questionnaire (PHQ-9) and a total score of ≥ 10 is considered clinically relevant depression. The dose-response relationship between sleep duration and mortality was evaluated with a restricted cubic spline. The individual and joint associations between sleep duration, depression, and mortality were investigated using the Cox proportional hazards regression model.

RESULTS

A total of 699 deaths occurred among 2,111 participants (mean [SE] age, 61.9 [14.5] years; 1129 [57.9%] female) during a median follow-up period of 99 months. A nonlinear relationship between sleep duration and total mortality was found using restricted cubic spline analysis (p < 0.01), with a higher risk of total mortality in both long- and short-sleepers. Compared with those in patients who slept 7 h, positive associations of < 6 h (hazard ratio [HR], 1.87; 95 % confidence interval [CI], 1.32–2.65), 8 h (HR, 1.47; 95 % CI, 1.17–1.85), and > 8 h (HR, 1.55; 95 % CI, 1.13–2.11) durations with all-cause mortality were observed. In the joint analysis, the combination of abnormal sleep duration and depression was associated with total mortality risk. Specifically, cancer survivors with depression had a higher risk of all-cause mortality when sleeping < 6 h (HR, 1.81; 95% CI, 1.17-2.81) or ≥ 8 h (HR, 1.76; 95% CI, 1.16-2.67); while survivors without depression who slept ≥ 8 h also had an increased risk of all-cause mortality (HR, 1.23; 95% CI, 1.03-1.46).

CONCLUSIONS

Excessive (≥ 8 h) and insufficient (< 6 h) sleep duration was both associated with increased risks of all-cause deaths after adjusting for depression scores. We also observed a joint effect of sleep duration and depression. The findings may provide evidence to guide optimal sleep time for prolonged cancer survival.

Authors: Pradhan Siprarani , Dash Lokesh , Khatua Kishanjit Kumar
Published: October 2023

Abstract: This study subject encompasses a comprehensive evaluation of the available literature on turbulence in open channel flows. Open channel flows are characterized by intricate fluid dynamics, including the production of turbulent eddies and vortices that can profoundly alter transport processes and mixing of diverse fluids. The paper addresses the numerous forms of turbulence that can occur in open channels, such as coherent structures, secondary currents, and bed-generated turbulence. We investigate the elements that determine the intensity and features of these turbulent flows, including channel geometry, flow velocity, fluid properties, and roughness of the channel substrate. The paper also assesses the current theoretical models used to characterise open channel turbulence and the experimental techniques used to quantify and demonstrate turbulent flows in open channels. By critically scrutinising the strengths and limits of the current literature, this review outlines the essential research gaps that need to be addressed to expand our understanding of turbulent open channel flows. This study contributes to the development of enhanced models and techniques for managing and modulating open channel flows in diverse applications.

Talent Selectıon in Sport With Multi-Criteria Decision Making Methods: TOPSIS and VIKOR Comparison
Authors: ESEN Serkan
Published: October 2023

Multi-criteria decision-making (MCDM) methods refer to a successful system used in various fields. Developed to facilitate the decision-maker's task, this system employs qualitative and quantitative methods by weighting criteria in a setting with a large number of alternatives. Similarly, the talent selection process in sports is based on making a decision by interpreting the different skills of many athletes in accordance with the appropriate discipline. However, during this process, errors can occur in preferences due to overlooked minor details or when athletes cannot have the opportunity to present themselves. MCDM methods provide an opportunity in this regard by blending athletes' quantitative data with their qualitative values in order to minimize errors. Thus, in this study, TOPSIS and VIKOR among MCDM methods were applied to the same athletes’ data by using common criteria weights, and athletes were ranked from the best to the worst option. While TOPSIS method ranking has the score distribution between 0.731 and 0.116, VIKOR method has the score distribution between 0.091 (closest to 0) and 0.488 (closest to 1). While there was a 10% exact match between the two methods, it was observed that three alternatives (B, G, and F) changed places (B,G,F) by 3 ranks and other three alternatives (C, D, and J) by 2 ranks. The results of the ranking revealed differences in the rankings of the two methods, but the most significant discrepancies were observed in the middle ranges.

Published: October 2023

This study aims to explore the experience of managing refugees in other regions, such as Africa and Asia as well as the protection of their rights. This study focused on regions with developing countries but was not limited to. This study, which was qualitative in nature, looked at a variety of texts, including both scientific and grey-literature sources, and other periodicals. The literature was chosen based on relevance and had its information critically evaluated. The gathered data was systematically and legally examined. The 1951 Geneva Convention and the 1967 Protocol, as well as other international law sources pertaining to refugees, serve as the main legal sources in this study. Analytical thinking will be used to gather and analyze the data. Learning from more developed countries is also one of the efforts that are worth the try to build comprehensive cooperation. However, the unique characteristics of each region need to be taken into account for building a suitable model for managing refugees. Close coordination and cooperation with international bodies concerning refugees are also needed since countries have limited resources.

Atacama is the most hyper-arid Desert in the world. In this study, we
describe a novel species, Nakazawaea atacamensis f. a., sp. nov.,
isolated from plant samples in the Atacama Desert of Chile. In total,
three isolates of N. atacamensis were obtained from independent
Neltuma chilensis bark samples (synonym Prosopis chilensis,
Algarrobo). The novel species was delineated based on morphological,
physiological, biochemical, and molecular characteristics. A
neighbour-joining analysis using the sequences of the D1/D2 domains of
LSU rRNA revealed that N. atacamensis sp. nov. clustered with
Nakazawaea pomicola. The sequence of N. atacamensis
differed from closely related species by 1.3% to 5.2% in the D1/D2
domains. A phylogenomic analysis based on single nucleotide
polymorphism’s data confirms that the novel species belongs to the genus
Nakazawaea, and placed N. atacamensis closer to N.
peltata. Phenotypic comparisons demonstrated that N. atacamensis
sp. nov. exhibited distinct carbon assimilation patterns compared to its
related species. Genome sequencing of the ATA-11A-B
strain revealed a genome size of approximately 12.4 Mbp, similar to
other Nakazawaea species, with 5,116 protein-coding genes
annotated using InterProScan. In addition, N. atacamensis
exhibited the capacity to ferment synthetic wine must, representing a
potential new yeast for mono or co-culture wine fermentations. This
comprehensive study expands our understanding of the genus
Nakazawaea and highlights the ecological and industrial potential
of these yeasts in fermentation processes. The holotype of N.
atacamensis sp. nov. is CBS 18375 . The Mycobank
number is MB 849680.
Immunology of gut microbiome and liver in non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD): mechanisms, bacteria, and novel therapeutic targets
Authors: Gruzdev Stanislav , Podoprigora Irina Viktorovna , Gizinger Oksana Anatolievna
Published: October 2023

Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is linked to lifestyle factors
such as diet and obesity. The gut microbiome’s influence on immune
pathways and dysregulations is increasingly recognized in NAFLD. The gut
microbiome can significantly modulate immune and inflammatory responses
in NAFLD and other liver diseases. We explore how the microbiome impacts
local and systemic immune responses contributing to NAFLD’s development,
discussing mechanisms and novel interventions like probiotics. Our
review points out different immune system pathways and microorganisms
regulating metabolism, liver inflammation and fibrosis. We specifically
mention TLR-4 as a key immune pathway activated by bacterial
lipopolysaccharides producing pro-inflammatory cytokines. Also, we
mention endotoxin-producing strains (Enterobacter cloacae B29,
Escherichia coli PY102, Klebsiella pneumoniae A7) that can induce NAFLD
in animal models by activating TLR4-dependent immune response. These
bacteria may also contribute to NAFLD pathogenesis via other immune and
non-immune mechanisms. In the end we discuss future perspective of gut
microbiome research in NAFLD as a potential new target for both
diagnostic and treatment.

The objective of this study was to assess the extent of variability of yield and yield-related traits, heritability, and genetic advances among Ethiopian coriander accessions. The experiment was conducted at Kulumsa Agricultural Research Center, Southeast Ethiopia, during 2019- 2020 cropping seasons. Twenty-five Ethiopian coriander accessions were tested in a 5 x 5 simple lattice design with two replications; and data were collected on eight yield and yield-related traits. The combined analysis of variance revealed highly significant differences (P<0.01) between coriander accessions for each trait. The results showed a wide range of variability in all studied traits, indicating the potential for simultaneous improvement of yield and yield-related traits. The heritability (H2b) estimates ranged from low for seeds per umbellet and thousand seed weight to very high, for seed yield per hectare and number of umbels per plant in the first and second cropping season, respectively. The highest genetic advances as a percentage of the mean (GAM (%)) were observed for seed yield per plant, seed yield per hectare, and number of umbellets per umbel. These findings suggest that cultivar selection based on these traits with high H2b coupled with GAM (%) could enhance progeny performance and increase the productivity and profitability of coriander. Therefore, the results had practical implications for coriander breeders and farmers in Ethiopia and could contribute to the development and sustainable coriander farming practices. Further investigations are necessary to identify superior accessions with desirable processing qualities, assess the phenotypic and genotypic diversity among Ethiopian coriander accessions.

Review of “Outcome of Endodontic Surgery: A Meta- Analysis of the Literature—Part 1: Comparison
of Traditional Root-End Surgery and Endodontic Microsurgery” by Setzer and Colleagues in J Endod 36(11):1757-1765, 2010
Authors: Nozhenko Oleksandr
Published: October 2023

Traditional root-end surgery (TRES) has played an important role in the management of odontogenic periapical pathology in the practice of oral surgeons already from 1871 [1, 2]. Whereas in conditions of growing application of operating microscope in the life of dentists, the importance of carrying out root canals treatment and surgical management of periapical pathology with the use of a microscope (i.e., endodontic microsurgery [EM]) began to grow in parallel from late 1970s [3, 4]. The growing role of EM created not only the conditions for the publication of EM-oriented articles [5-7], for the development of a narrow-profile peer-review publication—the Journal of Endodontic Microsurgery [8, 9]—but also for the rethinking of classic surgical techniques, namely a resection of the root-end. Nevertheless, TRES is still applied in numerous oral and maxillofacial surgery departments around the world – without the use of a microscope, appropriate microsurgical tools, and materials. That is why we believe that the meta-analysis by Setzer and colleagues (2010) [10] is such that it has not lost its relevance over the past 13 years. It’s highly important due the fact of unique comparison data of positive outcome for TRES versus EM (Table 1). Their research methods included a 43-year literature review, three electronic databases (Medline, Embase, and PubMed) search, and analysis of human studies in five different languages (English, French, German, Italian, and Spanish) [10]. A minimum follow-up period of 6 months for TRES and EM was analyzed [10].
Summarizing the research, it is possible to note that EM is 35% more successful procedure comparing to TRES [10].
Looking at these numbers, all conclusions are obvious. The future lies in the shift of many specialists involved in traditional root-end surgery to self-perform EM or referral to colleagues specializing in this microsurgical direction of dentistry. Having 9 years of experience in dentistry plus 19 years in oral and maxillofacial surgery, I finally want to say to my colleagues that no matter how many years we perform traditional surgical techniques like TRES, we always must rethink what is best for the patient. In sum, it is a pleasure to see how periapical surgery is evolving right in front of our eyes.

Many subjects in engineering are abstract, not only in theoritical concepts but also in practices. This causes difficulties for students in understanding the material. Especially if the availability of practical tools is limited. Therefore we need media that can help students learn abstract material to be more real amidst the limitations of existing practical tools. Multimedia is a technology that is used in various fields, also in the education field. Multimedia has advantages such as being able to simulate, sound, move, video, and others and can be used as a learning aid. Multimedia based on Augmented Reality (AR) is an alternative solution to solve the students problems in learning. The aims of this research is to develop multimedia based on Augmented Reality. This research method is ADDIE. The multimedia development process begins with analysis, design, development, limited implementation and evaluation. The result of this AR-based multimedia development process is that multimedia products have been declared feasible, both in terms of material and multimedia.

The challenge of rural electrification has become more challenging today than ever before. Grid-connected and off-grid microgrid systems are playing a very important role in this problem. Examining each component’s ideal size, facility system reactions, and other microgrid analyses, this paper proposes the design and implementation of an off-grid hybrid microgrid in Chittagong and Faridpur with various load dispatch strategies. The hybrid microgrids with a load of 23.31 kW and the following five dispatch algorithms have been optimized: (i) load following, (ii) HOMER predictive, (iii) combined dispatch, (iv) generator order, and (v) cycle charging dispatch approach. The proposed microgrids have been optimized to reduce the net present cost, CO2 emission, and levelized cost of energy. All five dispatch strategies for the two microgrids have been analyzed in HOMER Pro. Power system reactions and feasibility analyses of microgrids have been performed using ETAP simulation software. For both the considered locations, the results propound that load following is the outperforming approach having the lowest energy cost of $0.1728/kWh, operational cost of $2944.13, present cost of $127,528.10, and CO2 emission of 2746 kg/year for the Chittagong microgrid and lowest energy cost of $0.2030/kWh, operating cost of $3530.34, present cost of 149,287.30, and CO2 emission of 3256 kg/year for Faridpur microgrid with a steady reaction of the power system.
On Sum and Geometric Sum of independent New Quasi Lindley Random Variables and its Applications
Authors: Alosey Alaa Rafat El
Published: October 2023

The Laplace transformation method is used to drive the distribution of the sum Sn of n-fixed random variables, which has a new quasi Lindley distribution with two parameters θ and α, NQLD (θ,α). The sum of NQLD (SUNQLD) distribution is obtained in pdf and cdf formats. It is discussed how to calculate the random sum SN of a random number of NQLD random variables. The random sum of the NQLD distribution's pdf and cdf are calculated. When N has a geometric distribution, the geometric sum of NQLD distribution (GSN QLD) was introduced as an example of a random number of NQLD random variables. For all cases, some statistical measures are determined. The distribution's parameters are estimated using the maximum likelihood method. To test the viability and efficiency of the proposed distributions SNQLD and GSNQLD, lifetime count data sets from acute myeloid leukaemia are fitted. The results should become accepted knowledge in the fields of probability theory and its allied sciences. In addition, the histogram, fitted probability density function (pdf), and P-P plots for the analyzed real data set are presented.

OBJECTIVE

To describe the surgical technique and clinical outcome of small ruminants treated for obstructive urolithiasis using a modified tube cystostomy (MTC) technique.

ANIMALS

15 goats and 2 sheep treated with an MTC between March 2018 and February 2023.

CLINICAL PRESENTATION

Animals were diagnosed with obstructive urolithiasis on the basis of history, physical examination, and ultrasonographic examination. An MTC was performed with sedation and a local block. Postoperative medical management was instituted to help reestablish urethral patency, and Foley catheters were removed after successful urination.

RESULTS

Animals were hospitalized an average of 3 nights (range, 0 to 14 nights). Complications included urine spillage in the abdomen and accidental deflation of the Foley balloon. Six animals were euthanized due to poor prognosis or failure to regain urethral patency. Foley catheters were removed an average of 15.7 days postoperatively in animals that regained urethral patency. Long-term (> 1-month) follow-up was available for 8 animals, with an average postoperative survival time of 19.4 months (range, 1 to 58 months). Four animals were lost to long-term follow-up.

CLINICAL RELEVANCE

This MTC technique is an effective means of catheterizing the urinary bladder in small ruminants. It can be performed under field conditions and serve as a standalone procedure for providing temporary urine egress. Patient size is limited by the length of the introducer, and an intact, distended urinary bladder and plan for reestablishing urethral patency are important considerations.

Drug-induced hypersensitivity syndrome (DIHS) is a potentially life-threatening reaction. The pathology of DIHS has been connected with adverse reactions to drugs; however, it has been observed that viruses and other infectious factors may induce similar responses in the body. COVID-19 caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) has recently become a major challenge for worldwide healthcare. The dermatological symptoms occur in approximately 5.95% of COVID-19 patients, however, they are not exclusively a manifestation of SARS-CoV-2 infection.

Certain skin-related symptoms might result from therapeutic drug administration, personal protective equipment, or sanitizers used by medical personnel. The complex pathomechanism of those symptoms leads to multiple diagnostic difficulties. This article describes a case of a 40-year-old man who was admitted to the intensive care unit (ICU) due to heavy respiratory failure in the course of SARS-CoV-2 infection. The patient has been treated with olanzapine for anxiety disorder for approximately 4 years. On the seventh day of treatment, the patient presented with a maculopapular rash, fever, and swollen upper lip. Because of these presented symptoms, the patient has been diagnosed with drug-induced hypersensitivity syndrome (DIHS). The results of blood analysis showed elevated levels of acute phase markers, liver and kidney damage markers, which are present both during COVID-19 and DIHS. Furthermore, the patient presented with peripheral eosinophilia, which is a distinctive feature of DIHS. In the course of COVID-19, the laboratory-measured levels of eosinophilic granulocytes declined to 0. Therefore, in the active phase of SARS-CoV-2 infection, the eosinophilia connected with DIHS was difficult to assess. In this paper, we compare and contrast the clinical and laboratory symptoms of COVID-19 and DIHS syndrome, describe patient's case and explain the diagnostics difficulties resulting from the concomitance of those disease entities.
Modernized Resonant Column and Torsional Shearing Apparatus With Multipoint Contactless Displacement Detection System

Published: October 2023

In this study, a modification of resonant column/torsional shearing (RC/TS) apparatus was proposed to perform a qualitative analysis of a noncohesive soil specimen vibration during RC tests. An additional multipoint displacement detection system was installed in the RC/TS WF8500 device. In the new measuring system, 48 mini-magnets are attached to the side surface of a cylindrical soil specimen, creating a regular grid of measuring points. Around 48 Hall sensors (Honeywell SS495A1) are used to measure changes in the magnetic field strength due to the movement of the corresponding magnets on the surface of the specimen subjected to dynamic torque. The Hall sensor generates an analog signal that is proportional to the change in the magnetic field. The measurements are collected with a newly developed data acquisition system that consists of a set of analog-to-digital converters and a set of ARM (Advanced RISC (Reduced Instruction Sets Computing) Machine) microcontrollers. The measurement system is controlled with a dedicated software, ControlRec, developed by the authors. The measurements are taken synchronically with and independently from the standard RC test procedure. The new measuring technique allows to observe displacements of the 48 points on the specimens’ surface with over 4 times higher sampling rate than in the original measuring system. As a result, additional effects related to the mechanical wave propagation through soil specimen were observed (local disturbances in distribution of vibration amplitudes or significant displacements near the bottom end of the specimen, which is assumed to be fixed in the standard RC/TS results analysis), that could not be identified using the standard equipment of the device.

Published: October 2023

The study of body size variation in the altitudinal gradient showed the presence of shifts in the morphometric characteristics of ground beetle populations under the influence of bioclimatic factors.  Ground beetles were collected on the Barguzinsky Ridge (Russia, Buryatia) in eight characteristic biotopes in four high-altitude sections: on the coast of Lake Baikal, low, middle and high mountains (458-1667 m above sea level). At each site in 2004–2017, we carried out a quantitative account of ground beetles and recorded the main climatic parameters using thermochrons, sedimentary cylinders, soil thermometers, and a snow gauge. We took two common species – Carabus odoratus and Pterostichus montanus (2200 specimens) for morphometric analysis. The six features of the body organs – the length and width of the elytra, the length and width of the pronotum, and the length of the head and distance between the eyes were measured. Using linear modeling, we investigated how climatic variables affected body size in the studied species. Comparing the reaction of the two species to hydroclimatic parameters, we noted that the reaction was directly opposite to temperature indicators, and the similar to factors that depend on humidity. The higher was the soil temperature at a 5 cm depth, the greater was the length of the elytra, pronotum, and head in C. odoratus, but the same characters were smaller in P. montanus. High population density led to body size decrease in C. odoratus, but P. montanus responded in lesser degree. By genus, C. odoratus turned out to be more sensitive to changes in bioclimatic factors.

Purpose: The objective of this work was to verify the in vitro and in vivo antifungal activity of Cupressus sempervirens L. and Cupressus lusitanica Mill botanical fermentates on mycelial growth and germination of Colletotrichum fructicola conidia, as well as the antioxidant activity present in the compounds of the fermented botanicals using the DPPH• and ABTS•+ radical inhibition evaluation.
 
Theoretical framework: Plants are a promising source of several bioactive and multifunctional substances. To minimize the impacts of agrochemicals, which sometimes cause harmful environmental effects, alternative social technologies are being investigated more and more, such as the so-called botanical fermented products to control phytopathogenic fungal diseases of agricultural interest.
 
Methods: The antioxidant activity and contents of phenolic compounds, flavonoids, and individual phenolics were determined by spectrophotometry and high-performance liquid chromatography. The mycelial growth and conidia germination of C. fructicola were evaluated in a PDA medium containing the fermentates at zero, 10 % v/v, 20 % v/v, and 40 % v/v. In vivo tests were also conducted using Acca sellowiana leaves inoculated with the phytopathogen.
 
Results and conclusion: The results showed that C. sempervirens fermentate controlled by 100 % the development of the fungal colony in the concentration of 40 vol.% by the dilution method in PDA medium. In the conidia germination, they showed strong antifungal activities against this important phytopathogenic fungus. The active compound identified in the highest concentration from the fermented C. sempervirens was gallic acid and naringin for the fermentate of C. lusitanica. Antioxidant activity varied in the range of 68 – 82 % sweeping depending on the evaluated radical.
 
Research implications: The results of this work show a promising potential for C. sempervirens fermentate to control C. fructicola in the culture of A. sellowiana.
 
Originality value: Assessing the potential use of botanical fermentates to help control fungal diseases in plants is a novel approach and is very important and interesting for organic farming practices, reducing the need for chemical synthetic molecules to control fungal phytopathogens.
