Published: January 2025

Background

Serum ghrelin level is also associated with iron deficiency anemia (IDA), but no study has yet been published on the obestatin level in patients with IDA, even though both hormones are a single gene product. Therefore, the purpose of this investigation was to determine whether there is a link between IDA and these two hormones among other hematological parameters in patients with IDA.

Methods

To measure ghrelin and obestatin, human saliva and serum were collected from 30 women with IDA and 30 control women with repeated collection of samples over a period of 1 week and 1 month. Saliva and serum ghrelin levels were measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay.

Results

Saliva and serum ghrelin and obestatin levels were significantly lower in the IDA group compared with controls; these levels increased slightly above baseline with iron treatment, but remained below the control values. Serum hemoglobin (Hb), ferritin and hematocrit (Hct) levels significantly increased with iron treatment, while total iron-binding capacity (TIBC) decreased compared to baseline concentrations.

Conclusions

The findings suggest that IDA might be linked to imbalance of circulating (serum) and non-circulating (saliva) ghrelin and obestatin levels. Using saliva in place of serum for monitoring the two hormones should minimize inconvenience and patient discomfort.

Authors: Dogan Ozlem , Kisa Ucler , Erdemoglu Ali Kemal , Kacmaz Murat , Caglayan Osman , Kurku Huseyin
Published: January 2025

Background

Oxidative and nitrosative stress is well believed to play a role in the pathogenesis of ischemic stroke. This study aims to evaluate the time course of oxidative and nitrosative stress in ischemic stroke.

Methods

In total, 27 healthy individuals, 22 individuals with high risk of ischemic stroke due to hypertension and diabetes mellitus, and 20 patients with acute ischemic stroke hospitalized at the Neurology Department of the Kırıkkale University School of Medicine were enrolled in the study. Venous blood was collected at admission (hour 0) and again at hours 24, 48, 72, and 96. Nitric oxide (NO), malondialdehyde (MDA), total oxidative stress (TOS), oxidative stress index (OSI), and total antioxidant status (TAS) were measured and compared among stroke patients and control groups.

Results

Blood NO was significantly higher in the patient group at 0, 24, 48, and 72 h compared to the healthy and high-risk control groups, and lower at 96 h than at early times within the patient group (p<0.001). MDA was higher in patients than the healthy control group at all times. Conversely, TOS and OSI were significantly lower in the patient group than the healthy control group at 96 h and the high-risk control group at 72 and 96 h (p<0.05). There was a significant correlation between initial NO (0 h) and duration of hospitalization (r=0.71; p=0.0003).

Conclusions

These findings suggest a substantial early increase in oxidative and nitrosative stress in ischemic stroke patients during the first 2 days post-admission. However, TOS was lower by days 3–4, likely due to pathological recovery and local/systemic defense systems. The correlation between elevated serum NO during the acute phase of stroke and duration of hospitalization suggests NO as a potentially valuable predictor of ensuing oxidative damage and clinical outcome.

Diabetes mellitus (DM) is a group of metabolic disorders characterized by hyperglycemia due to insufficient insulin secretion or action. Contributing factors include genetic predisposition, obesity, family history, inactivity, and environmental risks. Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), the most common form, involves impaired insulin secretion by pancreatic β-cells, leading to insulin resistance. By 2045, it is projected that India and China will have approximately 134.3 and 110.8 million diabetic individuals, respectively. Although synthetic drugs are effective in managing DM, they often come with side effects. Consequently, plant-based phytochemicals with antidiabetic properties are gaining attention. Research indicates that around 115 medicinal plants (MPs) have antidiabetic effects, particularly those from the Fabaceae, Liliaceae, and Lamiaceae families. Bioactive compounds like alkaloids, triterpenoids, flavonoids, and phenolics are known to combat DM. Traditional medicinal systems, particularly in developing countries, offer effective DM management. This review highlights the importance of MPs and their bioactive compounds in treating diabetes and underscores the need for further research to commercialize plant-based antidiabetic drugs.
SÃO ELES QUE FAZEM ISSO COMIGO! O FRIGORÍFICO SANTA MARGARIDA E AS RELAÇÕES ENTRE HUMANOS E ANIMAIS.
Authors: Rodeguero Stefanuto Míriam Rebeca
Published: January 2025

Este artigo apresenta uma investigação antropológica sobre o frigorífico Santa Margarida localizado no interior do estado de São Paulo, Brasil. A partir do trabalho de campo etnográfico, a pesquisa prioriza a análise das relações construídas entre os trabalhadores humanos e os animais que transitoriamente ali se encontram, especificamente bovinos e suínos. Considerando a dinâmica e o modo de funcionamento típico do processo industrial de abate e produção da carne, os resultados indicam que há consequências significativas no modo como os trabalhadores percebem o próprio trabalho, constroem uma percepção de si mesmos e vivenciam a relação com os animais.AbstractThis paper presents an anthropological research concerning the slaughterhouse Santa Margarida in the countryside of the state of São Paulo. From the ethnographic field work, the research prioritizes the analysis of the relationships built between the human workers and the animals that are transitorily there, specifically cattle and pigs. Considering the dynamic and the typical functioning of the industrial process of slaughter and meat production, the results indicate that there are meaningful consequences for the way workers perceive their own work, build a perception of themselves and experience the relationship with the animals.
OS GAÚCHOS: CULTURA E IDENTIDADE MASCULINA NO PAMPA
Authors: Fachel Leal Ondina
Published: January 2025

Este artigo é um resumo de minha etnografia sobre os gaúchos – gaúchos tomados na acepção restrita do termo – vaqueiros, trabalhadores rurais e da pecuária extensiva da região do pampa latino-americano. Esta etnografia foi elaborada há cerca de trinta e cinco anos, os dados são, portanto, datados, coletados em um período específico, mas que, no meu entender, preservam a qualidade e o rigor do fazer etnográfico, buscando dar conta de um determinado sistema cultural em um período histórico específico. Para transformar a etnografia original, que priorizava sobretudo a densidade dos dados, em um artigo curto foi preciso fazer escolhas e cortes. Inicio o presente artigo com uma rápida revisão da literatura antropológica clássica para indicar como o Sul – o gaúcho e o seu território – foram se constituindo como uma área cultural legitima. Depois, busco dar conta desta dinâmica em que identidade e cultura gaúcha se sobrepõem à identidade de gênero. Escolho três eventos para analisar mais detidamente: os causos de galpão, as rinhas de galo e o suicídio campeiro. Tomo aqui estas práticas como narrativas desta cultura a respeito dela própria, como relatos sociais exemplares dos gaúchos sobre si mesmos.AbstractThis article is an abbreviated account of my ethnography about Gauchos – taken in the strict sense of the term – cowboys, rural workers from the extensive cattle ranching in the pampas of South America. This ethnography was written more than thirty years ago, therefore the data presented here has been collected in a specific time period. In order to maintain the quality and rigor of the ethnographic data about a given cultural system, and transform the original ethnography into an article, it was necessary to make many choices and cuts.  Here, first, I make a rapid revision of the classical anthropological literature that takes the South – the Gaucho and its territory – as a cultural area.  Then, I address this dynamic where Gaucho identity and culture also overlaps male identity and culture, through the account of three situations: their oral culture, taken as speech events; cockfights; and their death tales and suicide practices. I see these situations as narratives of how the Gauchos themselves shape, present and celebrate their own identity.

Um museu de imagens vivas: metáforas para uma etnografia poética e política
Authors: Santos Carolina Machado dos
Published: January 2025

No presente trabalho narro algumas práticas de meu grupo de Teatro das Oprimidas a partir de experimentações auto-etnográficas e reflexões sobre metodologias feministas descoloniais. Parto das seguintes perguntas: como estudar a prática de um grupo de Teatro das Oprimidas a partir do teatro mesmo? Como investigar, através da arte, uma “Estética das Oprimidas”? Como o Teatro das Oprimidas pode ser entendido como uma pedagogia feminista e descolonial? Apresento, desse modo, alguns apontamentos respeito à consonância entre nossa práxis feminista e a crítica às colonialidades do ser, do saber e do poder. A proposta metodológica deste trabalho parte de uma disposição em traduzir – uma tradução de práticas como nomeia Boaventura de Sousa Santos (2006) – por meio da qual busco expressar reflexões entre pedagogias descoloniais e as linguagens artísticas que utilizamos.
Desengano da vista é ver, escrita etnográfica em Cachoeira
Authors: Vale Maíra Cavalcanti
Published: January 2025

Por meio de dois contos etnográficos, este artigo busca refletir sobre escrita na produção de conhecimento antropológico a partir da ideia de contaminação pelo campo. Esta experimentação levanta, assim, algumas questões: como o trabalho de campo pode contaminar o próprio texto etnográfico? Como imprimir na escrita a vida em campo? Contaminar, aqui, refere-se ao esforço de escrever com o ritmo de fala, os cheiros, o cotidiano e o que marca corporalmente a espiritualidade de uma cidade como Cachoeira no Recôncavo Baiano, cuja população é majoritariamente negra.
A Pirâmide Humana, de Jean Rouch: Ensaiando a metodologia da etnoficção
Authors: Ferraz Ana Lúcia
Published: January 2025

A pirâmide humana é o filme em que Jean Rouch ensaia o que será a sua metodologia da etnoficção. A partir do recurso ao jogo dramático, Rouch propõe o tema do racismo a ser trabalhado por um grupo de jovens negros e brancos. Suas relações vão explorando as possibilidades que repetem ou recusam o preconceito racial. Navegando no risco, explorando os limites do social, em situação marcada por heranças coloniais, o grupo faz metamorfosear o tema, o que o autor aproveita dramaticamente. Esta pista vai ser explorada posteriormente em outros filmes etnográficos do autor.

POR UMA ETNOGRAFIA MULTISSENSORIAL
Authors: Elias Alexsânder Nakaóka
Published: January 2025

O presente artigo é fruto das minhas interlocuções com a comunidade Honmon Butsuryu-shu, escola do Budismo japonês presente no Brasil desde 1908. A partir da minha posição de “fotógrafo-antropólogo”, procurei obliterar um possível dualismo entre sujeito e objeto no momento de trazer para o texto etnográfico as experiências por mim vivenciadas. Neste sentido, o trabalho também busca tensionar uma questão instigante, que diz respeito ao domínio do verbal na escrita antropológica, a partir de algumas experimentações multissensoriais desenvolvidas no âmbito do meu doutoramento em Antropologia Social na Unicamp (2018), a saber: dois cadernos/capítulos visuais; um glossário verbo-visual; a capa da tese; um QR code; além de capítulos verbo-visuais, nos quais textos, narrativas verbais dos interlocutores e imagens fotográficas atuam conjuntamente para explicitar e dar a ver as experiências de campo. Dessa forma, ao partir de conceitos potentes como “experimentação”, “invenção” (WAGNER, 1975) e “montagem” (EISENSTEIN, 1926, 1942 e WARBURG, 1929), a intenção aqui é a de ponderar sobre as possíveis relações entre o formalismo/estrutura e o conteúdo do “texto” e do saber etnográfico.

Performances corpo-cristal: experiências em fluxo
Authors: De Almeida Castro Rita de Cássia
Published: January 2025

ResumoEm tempos de aceleração e multiplicidade de informações, cultivar espaços de silêncio e atenção é um desafio constante. A nossa provocação é romper com a pressa e os automatismos da vida cotidiana e adentrarmos um tempo-espaço mais dilatado, explorarmos um tempo lento, uma espécie de tempo onírico. Para essa experiência, elegemos um pequeno cristal de quartzo branco para levar em viagens por diferentes jardins, paisagens e atmosferas. O cristal esteve no Atacama, Chile, na região do Jalapão, Brasil, e em Tóquio, no Monte Fuji, em Kanazawa e Kyoto, no Japão, em ativação das dimensões sensíveis e simbólicas desses lugares. O cristal atua como mediador e impulsionador de ações e movimentos, um estímulo para estados de prontidão e escuta em interação com o ambiente e em conexão com o tempo, em uma busca de novos enquadramentos, com abertura ao instante e ao fluxo das coisas que nos circundam. Em um segundo momento, como experimento de troca com o outro, criou-se a exposição de vídeos das performances e arte computacional: Por sobre o tempo. Cristal corpo. Flutua. Com os atos poéticos suscitados pela experiência e transmutados em cena performativa trabalha-se no âmbito de uma micropolítica do cotidiano, com pequenos momentos de ruptura para quem vive, transita pelas cidades e entra no espaço expositivo de um museu.

Apresentamos uma seleção de registros visuais fomentada pelo projeto de extensão Histórias de Quilombo: Memórias e identidade coletiva na produção audiovisual da comunidade quilombola de Mituaçu – PB, a partir de atividades com alunos do 5º ano da escola quilombola Ovídio Tavares de Morais, em Mituaçu, Conde, PB, com moradoras-mestras no manejo das plantas de uso tradicional e com a equipe de antropólogas da Universidade Federal da Paraíba. Prezando o diálogo com a Antropologia Visual desde o início do projeto, em 2017, vigoram métodos compartilhados na intenção de registrar elementos, narrativas e lugares, instigando reflexividades e perspectivas quilombolas sobre suas trajetórias e historicidade, sem se ater a romantismos ou exclusões de vivências contemporâneas vigentes.
Arroio Pepino: caminhadas às margens de um arroio urbano em Pelotas/RS
Authors: Rieth et al Flávia
Published: January 2025

Este artigo apresenta algumas reflexões coletivas geradas a partir de uma caminhada urbana, às margens da Bacia Hidrográfica do Arroio Pepino, em Pelotas, Rio Grande do Sul, com a atenção voltada para as relações da cidade e de seus habitantes com suas águas. Buscamos levar a sério outros regimes de relação entre a Natureza e Cultura, tendo como base os debates contemporâneos do campo da Antropologia que tencionam a distância entre entes envolvidos em processos socioambientais, inseridos em fluxos de vida que se encontram e se transformam, mutuamente. Do mesmo modo, um Diário Gráfico acompanha o texto, valendo-se das formas expressivas registradas no encontro dos andarilhos com o Arroio. Sem a intenção de complementar a leitura, o Diário Gráfico dialoga com outras (etno)grafias, como o desenho, a fotografia, a literatura, por meio da interlocução sensível com o campo.

A primeira vez que vi seu João foi em 2014, numa consulta no ambulatório de neurologia de um hospital universitário. Com olhar atento e sorriso no rosto, sentou-se na cadeira, acompanhado por Paula, a filha mais nova e principal cuidadora. Ela contou que, após a morte da mãe, o pai, muito abalado, começou a apresentar alguns sinais preocupantes: esquecer o fogão aceso, perder-se andando de ônibus, ter “comportamentos estranhos”. “Ele vê, ouve coisas. Ele falava que os operários de uma fábrica, que existiam mesmo e estavam fazendo uma obra perto de casa, queriam matá-lo”.

Morcegos, humanos e pandemias: perspectivas de longa duração para o entendimento das relações entre sociedades e ambientes
Authors: Borges Caroline , Carneiro Gabriela Prestes
Published: January 2025

Recentes associações entre a emergência da pandemia mundial por conta do novo coronavírus (2019-nCoV) e sua relação direta com o consumo de animais silvestres nos motivaram a escrita deste trabalho. Este ensaio busca trazer uma reflexão sobre a longa e intensa interação que humanos e outros animais mantêm e como essa proximidade trouxe mudanças bioevolutivas para ambos, sobretudo nos últimos 10 mil anos. Assim, procuramos discutir alguns exemplos da presença de morcegos e do consumo de animais silvestres em sítios arqueológicos, buscando explicitar como as relações entre sociedades, animais e ambientes mudaram ao longo do tempo e como o avanço acelerado da antropização dos ecossistemas têm provocado impactos, levando a desequilíbrios que facilitam a transmissão de patógenos entre diferentes espécies. Desejamos igualmente demonstrar a importante contribuição dos estudos zooarqueológicos aos debates atuais sobre alternativas de construção de relações sociedades-natureza.
Novas faces do mundo. Máscaras e materialidades em tempos de pandemia da COVID-19.
Authors: Silva Adriana Fraga da
Published: January 2025

O texto trata das novas faces do mundo contemporâneo, um mundo pandêmico pela ação do novo coronavírus e a expansão da COVID-19. Na atual conjuntura o mundo reescreve sua face para além de uma necessária reestruturação econômica, pois estamos diante uma crise civilizacional e sanitária gerada por um modo de vida centrado num sistema gerador de desigualdades e pautado pela exclusão de classe, raça e gênero. A emergência de uma nova normalidade para tempos de pandemia e pós-pandemia carrega novas materialidades, novas relações sociais e descortina desigualdades historicamente postas. As novas materialidades apresentam diferentes camadas através das quais podemos considera-las. Mencionamos aspectos econômicos, variabilidade estética, empatia, sentido de coletividade e desigualdade social por  meio das máscaras de proteção individual em tecido.

Discrimination from a Criminological and Criminal-Political Perspective
Authors: Sitarz Olga
Published: January 2025

The subject here is the phenomenon of discrimination from the perspective of criminology, victimology and the tasks of criminal policy. The author first reconstructs the definition of discrimination and its causes, manifestations and negative consequences for people affected by discrimination. The issue of regulating manifestations of discrimination through criminal law regulations is then analysed. Ultimately, the belief is put forward that criminology and victimology provide material to recognize the real social harm of an act in the form of discrimination and unequal treatment in access to social goods. The findings in the area of criminal and criminalization policy make it possible to recognize that other criminalization prerequisites have been fulfilled. This finally makes it possible to call for the introduction into the petty offences law of a prohibited act in the form of unjustified refusal to provide a service that is within the scope of a given actor’s offer.
Control of Poaching in Poland as a Form of Implementation of the Agenda for Sustainable Development 2030
Authors: Dajnowicz-Piesiecka Diana
Published: January 2025

This article’s purpose is to present how the goals of the Agenda for Sustainable Development 2030 are implemented in Poland in terms of combating poaching. It discusses which services combat poaching in Poland and how they operate. The characteristic methods of legal sciences and criminology, namely literature analysis and criticism, the dogmatic method, secondary data analysis, and the interview method, were used to achieve the research goals. The first of these was used to analyse the scientific literature on poaching published to date, with a particular focus on the poaching of land animals. The dogmatic method was used to examine selected legal acts regulating poaching. The dogmatic and literature analysis methods were often applied simultaneously, which allowed interpretation of the regulations analysed. The secondary data analysis consisted of analysing statistics on poaching, specifically criminal statistics obtained from police headquarters. The final research method used were interviews carried out using a computer-assisted individual interview technique. Interviews were conducted with an employee of the Regional Directorate of State Forests in Białystok and an officer of the State Hunting Guard in Białystok, because both institutions are statutorily obliged to combat poaching in Poland.
Integrating Routine Activity Theory and Transparency in Governance for Food Security through the Example of Operation Opson
Authors: Marzęda-Młynarska Katarzyna
Published: January 2025

This article explores the integration of criminology into food security policies through the lens of Routine Activity Theory (RAT) and transparency in governance, with a specific focus on Operation Opson. Food-related crimes, including fraud, theft, and contamination, pose significant threats to global food security and the achievement of Sustainable Development Goal 2: Zero Hunger. The study develops an integrated framework combining RAT and transparency to identify, prevent, and respond to food-related crimes, ultimately strengthening food security. RAT helps map out the food supply chain’s vulnerabilities, identifying motivated offenders, suitable targets, and the absence of capable guardians. Transparency in governance enhances accountability and public trust by making regulatory processes and results openly accessible. The case study of Operation Opson, a joint initiative by Interpol and Europol, illustrates the practical application of this framework. The findings underscore the importance of incorporating criminological insights into food security strategies to achieve zero hunger by 2030, promoting a more secure and resilient global food system.
A Difficult Neighbourhood with Hybrid War in the Background: An Analysis of Relations between Poland and Belarus
Authors: Ziemblicki Mateusz Hubert
Published: January 2025

Belarus has been dependent on the Russian Federation for many reasons for years. The possibilities for shaping its foreign policy are also very limited. Nevertheless, until recently, mutual relations with Poland still functioned, despite being complicated and not without difficult periods. However, the events related to the situation in Belarus after the rigged presidential elections in 2020, the enormity of the repression of representatives of the Belarusian opposition, parts of the media and ordinary citizens, the involvement of Belarus on the Russian side in its aggression against Ukraine, the hybrid war launched in mid-2021 consisting of the instrumental use of migrants for political purposes, and the subsequent packages of sanctions imposed by the European Union in response to these illegal and shameful actions raise legitimate questions about the future of mutual relations between Warsaw and Minsk. For this reason, it seems important to analyse the relations between Belarus, ruled continuously since 1997 by Lukashenko, and Poland.
A Systematic Literature Review on Entrepreneurial Intuition Among Students: Trends and Future Directions
Authors: Wibowo Agus , Effendi Mohammad Sofwan , Narmaditya Bagus Shandy
Published: January 2025

Entrepreneurship has been an important predictor of resolving the problem of unemployment in Indonesia and other countries through the creation of new jobs. Academics, scholars, and policy researchers especially promote entrepreneurial strategies because of their important role in expanding innovation, enhancing economic growth, and supporting economic development. The primary purpose of this study is to systematically identify and evaluate entrepreneurial intuition research. This study involved data from the Scopus database from 2004 to 2024 using preferred reporting items for systematic reviews and meta-analyses (PRISMA) protocol. For visualization, this study involved VOSviewer software to determine the linkage of variables. The findings indicate that entrepreneurial intuition is often linked with several factors: sustainability, technology usage, and cognitive process. The findings also conclude that there is a robust relationship between entrepreneurial intuition and entrepreneurial intention. This paper also highlights the trend of entrepreneurial ideas for student education and the key role of entrepreneurial learning in enhancing entrepreneurial intuition. The findings of this paper are to allocate avenues for future research on the theme of entrepreneurial intuition.
ТЕОРЕТИЧНІ ОСНОВИ ФОРМУВАННЯ СОЦІАЛЬНИХ КОМПЕТЕНТНОСТЕЙ В УЧНІВ ЗАСОБАМИ ФІЗИЧНОГО ВИХОВАННЯ
Authors: Петрина Роман , Кузів Олександр
Published: January 2025

В статті розкриваються питання пов’язані з проблематикою формування соціальних компетентностей в учнів, використовуючи засоби фізичного виховання. Мета – окреслити теоретичні основи формування соціальних компетентностей учнів із застосуванням засобів фізичного виховання. Матеріал і методи дослідження. Для реалізації мети дослідження використано наступні методи наукового дослідження: аналіз та узагальнення літературних джерел та офіційних документів. Отримані результати та висновки. Встановлено, що питання формування соціальних компетентностей є актуальною науковою проблемою, проте серед українських та закордонних учених не існує єдиного підходу до їх формування. Виявлено, що при формуванні соціальних компетентностей необхідно приділяти увагу мотивації, обізнаності у способах продуктивної взаємодії в соціумі, а також умінню орієнтуватися в соціокультурному просторі. Проте, значна частина науковців зазначають, що в уроці фізичної культури варто зосереджувати увагу на навчанні учнів співпрацювати з однокласниками, формувати в учнів уміння розподіляти ролі та дотримуватися визначених правил. Установлено, що ефективними засобами фізичного виховання формування соціальних компетентностей в учнів початкових класів є включення в урок фізичної культури колективних ігор, спортивних змагань та командних вправ. Це сприятиме розвитку співпраці, емпатії та комунікаційних навичок у дітей. Також важливо стимулювати позитивне спілкування та взаємодію між учнями під час проведення рухливих ігор, естафет та елементів спортивних ігор.

On stability and convergence of difference schemes for one class of parabolic equations with nonlocal condition
Authors: Sapagovas Mifodijus , Novickij Jurij , Pupalaigė Kristina
Published: January 2025

In this paper, we construct and analyze the finite-difference method for a two-dimensional nonlinear parabolic equation with nonlocal boundary condition. The main objective of this paper is to investigate the stability and convergence of the difference scheme in the maximum norm. We provide some approaches for estimating the error of the solution. In our approach, the assumption of the validity of the maximum principle is not required. The assumption is changed to a weaker one: the difference problem’s matrix is the M-matrix. We present numerical experiments to illustrate and supplement theoretical results.
New formulation of Lyapunov direct method for nonautonomous real-order systems
Authors: Lenka Bichitra Kumar , Bora Swaroop Nandan
Published: January 2025

Lyapunov stability analysis of nonautonomous real-order systems is put forward here in the sense of Caputo in a new and different way. We introduce new theorems and inequalities that give stability of constant solutions in the domain of attraction to such systems when attached with random initial time placed on the real axis. We give some examples including an advanced nonlinear Lorenz system to illustrate the results.

Under soil conditions, bacteria interact with nanoparticles of natural nanomaterials and ions. The study of such interaction and its effect on ATPase activity of bacteria is an important issue contributing to the understanding of the mechanisms underlying the functioning of living cells in their interaction with nanomaterials. Objective. To investigate ATPase activity of nitrogen-fixing and phosphate-mobilizing bacteria exposed to silica and bentonite nanoparticles and some ions. Methods. ATPase activity of the culture was determined by the concentration of phosphate in the reaction mixture. Silica and bentonite were used as effectors for ATPase activity determination. Results. The level of ATPase activity of Azotobacter vinelandii IMV B-7076 was shown to increase by 241 % after 48 hours of culturing and by 97 % after 72 hours of culturing compared to 24-hr culture. Magnesium and calcium cations were found to significantly increase ATPase activity of A. vinelandii and B. subtilis, whereas sodium and potassium ions had little effect on this process. Conclusions. The ATPase activity of Azotobacter vinelandii IMV B-7076 and Bacillus subtilis IMV B-7023 was found to be the highest in the presence of magnesium and calcium ions. The interaction of these strains with bentonite nanoparticles significantly stimulated the ATPase activity of the bacteria, while silica nanoparticles negatively affected the ATPase activity of A. vinelandii and positively affected that of B. subtilis.

Previously, the authors isolated from the intestine of the chestnut moth caterpillars two cultures of bacteria – Pseudomonas putida and Escherichia coli. Since in interactions with plants or other living beings, lipopolysaccharides are involved, earlier we have characterized the lipopolysaccharide of one of the strains – Pseudomonas putida. The aim of this study was to characterize the lipopolysaccharide of a new strain of Escherichia coli K, in particular its composition and biological activity. Methods. Lipopolysaccharide (LPS) was obtained from cells by water-phenol extraction, heterogeneity was determined by SDS-PAAG electrophoresis, monosaccharide and fatty acid compositions were determined by chromatography-mass spectrometry, and serological activity – by immunodiffusion in agar. Determination of the osmotic resistance of erythrocytes was carried out according to the research by Bazarnova et al. Results. In purified LPS, 29.46% carbohydrates, 4.9% nucleic acids, and 9.53% proteins were found. The content of 2-keto-3-deoxyoctonic acid (KDO) and heptose, characteristic of LPS components, was 0.03% and 5.64%, respectively. Identification of the monosaccharide composition indicates that galactose dominates in LPS – 70.87%. Fucose, ribose, and glucose were found in smaller quantities (11.86, 10.11, and 7.16%, respectively). The hydroxy acids 2-OH-C12:0 – 32.23%, 2-OH-C14:0 – 25.07% and 3-OH-C14:0 – 7.26% were identified in the composition of the LPS preparation under study. C14:0 – 10.69%, C17:0 – 5.35%, C16:0 – 3.15%, C15:0 – 3.04%, and unidentified fatty acid – 13.21% were also detected. SDS-PAGE electrophoresis showed that the studied E. coli LPS is represented by a heterogeneous population, which includes two main types of molecules: high-molecular-weight S-LPS with O-chains of various lengths and low- molecular-weight R-LPS, which does not contain O-specific polysaccharide chains. The tested preparation of E. coli LPS turned out to be pyrogen-free: it did not reach either the level of pyrogenicity or the level of “Pyrogenal” (pharmaceutical drug), the active component of which is Shigella typhi LPS. The determination of osmotic resistance of erythrocytes showed that a high percentage of hemolysis is observed in the erythrocytes of all donors after treatment with solutions of LPS preparations, both native and modified. Conclusions. The obtained data indicate a high biological potential of the influence of lipopolysaccharides on the resistance of erythrocytes, which gives reason to attribute this criterion to possible prognostic factors of the risk of osmotic lysis.

Based on a review of available literary sources and official reports, the world situation with zoonotic influenza was analyzed, and the risks related to the pandemic potential of zoonotic influenza viruses were considered. It is shown that against the background of the genetic diversity of avian and mammalian influenza viruses and their ability to reassort genes, there is a constant risk of the formation of pandemic virus variants for humans. Moreover, such an example already exists, namely the A(H1N1)pdm09 virus, which turned out to be a quaternary reassortant of swine, bird, and human influenza viruses with rapid adaptation to the human population. After the appearance of zoonotic avian influenza viruses AIV A(H5N1) in 1997, new zoonotic AIVs were discovered in the world: A(H9N2) (1998), A(H7N7) (2003), A(H7N3), A(H10N7) (2004), A( H7N9), A(H10N8) (2013), A(H5N6) (2014), A(H7N4) (2018), A(H10N3), A(H5N8) (2021), and A(H3N8) (2022). The last 3 viruses were identified during the COVID-19 pandemic. Zoonotic AIVs of different subtypes differ in their lethality in humans (for example, A(H5N1) has a 52% lethality, while A(H9N2) has a 2.2% lethality). They can also differ in their adaptation potential to the organism of mammals, particularly humans, even within the same subtype. During 2018 – 08/18/2023, 170 cases of influenza in humans caused by AIVs were registered in the world, among which A(H5N1) (10.6%) and A(H5N6) (39.4%) prevailed. Since 2021, their sharp growth has been observed (3 times compared to 2020 and 5.7 times compared to 2019). During the 2017/2018 – 2022/2023 seasons, 49 cases of swine flu caused by A(H1N1)v, A(H1N2)v, and A(H3N2)v viruses were reported in the world. Among them, A(H1N2)v prevailed (53.1%). The current trend of increasing avian influenza outbreaks among birds, mammals, and human cases with the expansion of geographic areas and the involvement of new species and categories of animals may be related to climate change, increased agricultural land, and poultry production. The increased effectiveness of epidemiological surveillance for severe respiratory syndrome, which occurred against the background of the COVID-19 pandemic, also contributed to the detection of new cases of zoonotic influenza in humans and the identification of new zoonotic influenza viruses. This requires constant monitoring of the circulation of both zoonotic influenza viruses and animal influenza viruses in general, as well as the selection of zoonotic influenza viruses – candidates for the production of vaccines in case of a worsening of the epidemic situation.

У статті досліджено ферментативну активність ґрунтів під інтродукованими листяно-декоративними деревами в урбанізованих умовах парку ім. Т. Г. Шевченка в м. Дніпро. Було визначено активність каталази, дегідрогенази, уреази та інвертази в ґрунтах під кронами дерев і поза ними. Результати досліджень свідчать, що умови аерації та освітленості поза кронами значно впливають на підвищення активності ферментів, особливо для дерев з високою інтенсивністю опаду. Найвища активність каталази спостерігалася під гіркокаштаном звичайним, а активність дегідрогенази була максимальною в ґрунтах під робінією звичайною. Уреазна активність зростала під деревами з багатим органічним опадом, а інвертаза демонструвала найвищі показники під кленом ясенелистим. Дослідження підкреслює вплив різних видів дерев на біохімічні процеси ґрунтів, що дозволяє більш ефективно оцінювати екологічний стан урбанізованих територій.
Біоекологічні особливості вирощування інтродукованих сортів лохини щиткової в агрокліматичних умовах Дніпропетровської області

Стаття присвячена дослідженню вирощування лохини щиткової (Vaccinium corymbosum L.) в агрокліматичних умовах степової зони України, зокрема в Дніпропетровській області. Ця культура має високий ринковий потенціал завдяки зростаючому попиту на корисні харчові продукти, багаті антиоксидантами, вітамінами та мікроелементами. Однак вирощування лохини пов'язане з низкою викликів, включаючи потребу в кислих ґрунтах, спеціальній агротехніці, регулярному зволоженні та адаптації до агрокліматичних умов. Основна увага приділяється адаптаційним можливостям інтродукованих сортів американської та канадської селекції до місцевих кліматичних умов, що характеризуються високими літніми температурами, низькою кількістю опадів і різкими перепадами температур взимку. Дослідження проводилися на експериментально-дослідній ділянці, де для забезпечення оптимальних умов було створено штучний едафотоп з використанням кислого торфу, річкового піску та соснової кори. До експерименту залучено 8 сортів лохини з різними періодами дозрівання: ранній сорт Дюк, середні сорти Торо, Спартан, Бонус, Чендлер, Блюгольд, Блюкроп та пізній сорт Нельсон. Результати досліджень підтверджують доцільність вирощування лохини в умовах степової зони України за умови коригування ґрунтових характеристик і використання правильних агротехнологій. Сорти демонстрували стабільну врожайність, гарну товарність плодів та стійкість до посухи, хвороб і заморозків. Використання різних сортів з різними періодами достигання дозволяє розширити період збору плодів і підвищити комерційну рентабельність насаджень лохини щиткової. Застосування органічних добрив і стимуляторів росту виявилося ефективним у підвищенні врожайності та якості плодів. Дослідження також виявили, що для закладання промислових плантацій важливо використовувати сорти, зареєстровані в Державному реєстрі сортів України, враховуючи їхню пластичність, врожайність та стійкість до стресових факторів. Інтродукція лохини щиткової може стати перспективним напрямом для розвитку аграрного сектору в степовій зоні, забезпечуючи високу економічну ефективність виробництва. Дослідження підтверджують необхідність подальшого вивчення біоекологічних особливостей лохини щиткової для розширення її вирощування в регіоні.

Authors: G. Zhelyazkov  , T. Stoev
Published: January 2025

PURPOSE: This study was designed to assess the effects of savory extract supplementation to fish feed on the mortality rate, growth parameters, economic performance, blood biochemistry, meat chemical composition and fatty acid content of rainbow trouts farmed in a recirculation system.
METHODS: Rainbow trouts (n=160) were assigned to two groups – control (C) and experimental (S.h). All fish were farmed in a recirculation system and were fed extruded feed. The fish of group S.h were supplemented via feed with 1% powdered savory extract, by lubrication of granules with 5 ml/100 g sunflower oil. The feed of the control fish (group C) was treated only with sunflower oil.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSIONS: The addition of savory extract to the fed of rainbow trouts had a beneficial effect on the main growth indicators and the economic performance of farmed fish. Final live weight and individual weight gain values were higher; also, FCR and ECR were better. Blood biochemical parameters and meat chemical composition were not influenced by dietary savory supplementation. Despite the statistically significantly higher SFA content and lower levels of UFA, PUFA and n-3 in trout meat after savory supplementation, the PUFA/SFA and n-6/n-3 ratios remained within the range recommended for human nutrition: between 0.4 and 5.
