Published: February 2025

Las frutas y verduras son cultivos ampliamente utilizados, pero el desperdicio generado por malas prácticas de sus residuos impacta la nutrición humana y el medio ambiente. Esta revisión busca describir el aprovechamiento de residuos de frutas y verduras en compuestos bioactivos y su aplicación en industrias alimentarias, utilizando fuentes secundarias consultadas en Web of Science (WoS) y Scopus, seleccionadas y organizadas mediante la herramienta Bibliometrix, con R Studio. El interés en el aprovechamiento de residuos de frutas y verduras para obtener compuestos bioactivos se centra, principalmente, en cuatro grupos: (i) residuos del tomate, (ii) residuos del mango, (iii) residuos generados por cítricos y (iv) residuos de otras frutas y verduras. Los compuestos bioactivos de estos residuos tienen excelentes actividades funcionales y para la salud. En la industria cárnica se investigan como antioxidantes, antimicrobianos y sustitutos de grasas. En la industria láctea se utilizan para lograr una fortificación adecuada del alimento sin afectar el desarrollo de los microorganismos involucrados. En la industria panificadora, se busca mejorar el contenido de fibra dietética y la actividad antioxidante de los productos desarrollados. Estudios futuros permitirán profundizar en la relación entre el mejoramiento funcional y nutricional aportada por los compuestos bioactivos y la pérdida de calidad sensorial asociada.

Purpose. To evaluate the results of penetrating keratoplasty (PK) as an element of opto-reconstructive surgery (ORS) for combat injury to the eye.

Material and method. The study included 43 eyes of 39 male patients aged 22 to 59 years. The patients were divided into two groups: the main group — OGI with damage to the structures of the anterior and posterior segments — 34 patients (37 eyes), and the control group — inflammatory diseases of the anterior segment that complicated severe combat injury to the eye with an intact posterior segment — 5 patients (6 eyes). All patients underwent PK, in addition to which there could be: installation of a temporary keratoprosthesis, reconstruction of the anterior chamber, removal of traumatic cataract, hemvitrmembranectomy, removal of IOFB, straightening of the retina with perfluoroorganic compounds, retinotomy, carrying out delimiting threads, filling the vitreal cavity with silicone oil, drainage of hemorrhagic detachments of the vascular membrane. The degree of transparency of the graft was assessed at the postoperative stage. The follow-up period in the main group was 59 ± 29 days, in the control group — 82 ± 34 days.

Results: in the main group, transparent graft engraftment was observed in 62.16 % of cases, semi-transparent in 35.14 %, opaque in 2.7 %. In the control group, transparent graft engraftment was observed in 83.33 %, and opaque in 16.67 %. The duration of graft epithelialization in the main group was 8.05 ± 3.86 days, in the control group — 25.24 ± 11.87 days.

Conclusion. The anatomical result of PK as an element of complex reconstructive surgery of combat eye injury depends primarily on the nature of the pathology of the eyeball. The presence of inflammatory processes with the preservation of underlying ocular structures is characterized by a better functional prognosis than an open injury.

Organ-preserving operations are among the global trends in modern surgery. The method and scope of surgery are selected based on several factors: maximum scope of surgical intervention, minimal invasiveness, and desire for a single-stage procedure. And, as a result of microinvasive interventions, a minimal rehabilitation period for patients of different ages. The problem of treating epithelial-endothelial dystrophy is currently relevant at all levels of specialized medical care and requires an individual approach in each case.

Objective. To assess the effectiveness of penetrating optical keratoplasty with simultaneous reimplantation of an intraocular lens. The article describes a case of penetrating keratoplasty with simultaneous reimplantation of an intraocular lens in patient K., 44 years old, diagnosed with: OS - Consequence of injury: pseudophakia (T-19, suture adaptation of the cornea), epithelial-endothelial dystrophy of the cornea (II – III stage), postoperative corneal scar; OD – initial cataract

Conclusions. Penetrating optical keratoplasty with simultaneous reimplantation of the intraocular lens is an effective technique that improves visual function, reduces the time the patient spends in hospital, reduces the duration of the rehabilitation period and allows for early social adaptation.

Published: February 2025

Flow chemistry has revolutionized polyamide synthesis, allowing access to entire synthetic proteins in a matter of hours. In principle, the efficiency of similar flow-based methods should also allow rapid access to extremely large compound libraries for selection-based drug discovery. To determine whether flow chemistry could be used for polyamide library synthesis, we adapted a semi-automated flow platform to the task of making combinatorial libraries including both canonical and noncanonical amino acid building blocks. Using this platform, we then demonstrate the ability to decrease the turnaround time for custom library synthesis from days-to-weeks to < 1 hour while accessing quintillion-member libraries with diversities orders of magnitude beyond those achievable with current technologies. Flow synthesis is thus a powerful approach for the rapid generation of hyperdiverse libraries for selection-based drug discovery.
Human Serum Albumin Loaded with Fatty Acids Reveals Complex Protein-Ligand Thermodynamics and Boleadora-Type Solution Dynamics Leading to Gelation
Authors: Hinderberger Dariush , Reichenwallner Jörg , Michler Sebastian , Schwieger Christian
Published: February 2025

Using an electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) spectroscopic strategy that has been developed for core-shell polymers, the complexity of the binding of fatty acids to human serum albumin (HSA) is characterized in detail. We unravel the internal dynamics of HSA solutions with fatty acids by applying continuous wave EPR (CW EPR) from which we derive a consistent thermodynamic interpretation about fatty acid interactions with HSA in the investigated temperature range of 5 °C – 97 °C. Additionally, data from CW EPR are corroborated by dynamic light scattering (DLS), differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and nanoscale distance measurements using double electron-electron resonance (DEER) spectroscopy. We discuss our data in light of decades of biophysical studies on albumin and aim at drawing a complete functional and dynamic picture of HSA “at work”. This picture suggests that HSA is built from modular, rotationally-decoupled domains that resemble an entangled three-piece boleadora in solution.
Multiscale and multimodal image fusion. Coping with differences in scanned area and spatial resolution for Raman/fluorescence images of labelled cells.

Published: February 2025

Multiscale and multimodal image fusion is a challenge derived from the diversity of chemical and spatial information provided by the current hyperspectral image platforms. Efficient image fusion approaches are essential to exploit the complementary chemical information across different zoom scales. Most current image fusion algorithms tend to work by equalizing the spatial characteristics of the platforms to be combined, i.e., downsampling pixel size and cropping non-common scanned sample areas if required. In this work, a new image unmixing algorithm based on a flexible mathematical framework is proposed to enable working with all available image information while preserving the original spatial properties of every imaging measurement. The algorithm is tested on a challenging image fusion scenario of fluorescence and Raman images collected on labelled HeLa cells. The system is relevant from an analytical point of view, since smart fluorescence labelling allows profiting from the excellent morphological information without causing interferences in the rich chemical information furnished by Raman. From a data handling perspective, it offers a challenging multiscale problem, where the fast fluorescence imaging acquisition allows recording full cell images, and the slower Raman image acquisition is focused on scanning only relevant small regions of the cells analyzed. By applying the image fusion algorithm proposed, an improved morphological and chemical characterization of cell constituents in the full cell area is obtained despite the different spatial scales used in the original imaging measurements.

Published: February 2025

La imaginación motora es un proceso cognitivo que consiste en la planeación de un movimiento sin ejecutarlo. En la señal de electroencefalografía, esta planeación puede decodificarse para usarse como método terapéutico para pacientes con enfermedad vascular cerebral. Los mapas auto-organizados son redes neuronales que podrían usarse como clasificadores de imaginación de movimiento.  En este trabajo se evalúa el desempeño de los mapas auto-organizados para clasificar imaginación de movimiento en la señal de EEG. Se registraron las señales de electroencefalografía a 4 participantes, dos de ellos sanos y dos con enfermedad vascular cerebral mientras realizaban imaginación de movimiento de las manos. Se aplicó un filtrado espacial tipo Laplaciano en los canales centrales C3, Cz y C4, después se obtuvieron características espectrales en las bandas alfa y beta mediante un análisis tiempo-frecuencia. Se entrenaron mapas auto-organizados para cada participante con sus características espectrales en 3 condiciones distintas de imaginación de movimiento de mano y reposo. Se obtuvieron porcentajes de clasificación correcta superiores al nivel de aleatoriedad y de hasta 80%. Los clasificadores propuestos son prometedores para decodificar imaginación motora en el EEG y para diseñar sistemas de retroalimentación del desempeño del usuario.
Flow of multiparticle collision dynamics fluids confined by physical barriers
Authors: Híjar Humberto
Published: February 2025

We propose a new method for confining of fluids simulated by Multiparticle Collision Dynamics. In this method confinement is achieved by introducing solid surfaces consisting of particles that interact with the particles of the fluid by means of explicit repulsive forces. We derive an integrated expression for the interaction potential between the fluid and the solid wall in which the molecular properties of the latter are averaged and reduced to an equation that involves only its geometrical features. We test the applicability of the proposed model in simulations of fluids confined between two parallel planes and subjected to a uniform force field. We find that our model yields the correct plane Poiseuille flow expected from hydrodynamics with slip boundary conditions. We carry out an extensive numerical analysis of the method for a wide range of values of the simulation parameters. We measure important quantities characterizing the flow and the fluid-solid interaction, e.g., the slip at the solid boundary and the effective viscosity of the fluid. Finally, we determine the conditions for which flows with stick boundary condition can be simulated.

Published: February 2025

An inquiry was carried out to investigate the presence of chemical contaminants, like lead, copper, zinc, and chromium, in the garbage disposal sites of Duste Abattoir in Jigawa State. The research was spurred by the elevated levels of heavy metals frequently discovered in public waste disposal sites. Samples were gathered from both the Duste Abattoir and public waste disposal sites to address a knowledge gap in this field. The findings of the investigation show that all areas examined are vulnerable to heavy metal contamination, with lead (Pb) presenting the highest risk, followed by copper (Cu) and zinc (Zn). Chromium (Cr) has a lesser impact on the environment. Pollution indices suggest that Pb and Cu are the main contaminants, with Zn following closely behind. It was also established that the Abattoir site is more at risk of heavy metal contamination compared to the public site. Moreover, organic carbon and pH levels displayed a significant positive connection with chromium and zinc inorganic forms. It is crucial to consistently monitor waste materials from the abattoir and municipal sources to safeguard the environment and residents, particularly young children, from the risks associated with heavy metal pollution in the area. It is also suggested to decontaminate the abattoir waste before use for agricultural purposes.

Published: February 2025

A field experiment was carried out to study the effect of mulching and potassium application method on growth and yield parameters of potato at Rolpa, Nepal from February, 2022 to July, 2022. The experiment was laid out in 2 factorial Randomized Complete Block Design (RCBD) with three replications consisting of 8 treatments. The variety used was Rolpa local. First treatment factor consisted of three mulching materials namely silver on black plastic, black plastic and plant residue including control plot whereas second treatment factor consist of two method of potassium application: split application and basal application of recommended dose. Days to 90% germination, plant height, number of leaves, and canopy diameter exhibited significant variations among the various mulching materials, while the method of potassium application showed no notable impact on these parameters. Notably, plastic mulches played a significant role in the germination rate, with potatoes sprouting 5-6 days earlier than the control group. However, all subsequent observations related to growth and yield parameters demonstrated significantly superior results in the case of silver on black plastic mulch. The silver on black plastic mulches, in particular, displayed a substantial influence, resulting in the highest tuber number, tuber weight, and tuber yield at 23.12, 62.16 gm, and 24.09 t/ha, respectively. Additionally, remarkable tuber characteristics, including circumference, diameter, and length, were recorded with silver on black plastic (14.20 cm, 4.74 cm, and 5.40 cm, respectively). Moreover, variations in tuber weight and total yield were observed among different potassium application methods, with the split application of potash yielding the highest total of 19.66 t/ha. The split application of potassium also produced the highest circumference (13.06 cm) and tuber diameter (4.07 cm), accompanied by a superior benefit-cost ratio of 2.65. Noteworthy was the highest benefit-cost ratio of 2.92 achieved with silver on black plastic mulch. Despite exploring the interaction effect between these two factors for both growth and yield parameters, no significant findings were observed. Consequently, it was concluded that silver on black plastic mulch combined with the split application method of potassium proved to be more effective for promoting growth and tuber yield, exhibiting a promising benefit-cost ratio
Molecular dynamics study of imidazolium ionic liquids and molecular solvents: insights into microstructure and transport phenomena
Authors: Dudariev Dmytro , Kolesnik Yaroslav , Idrissi Abdenacer , Kalugin Oleg
Published: February 2025

Binary mixtures composed of room-temperature ionic liquids and aprotic dipolar solvents are widely used in the modern electrochemistry. While these systems exhibit maximum electroconductivity and other changes in diluted solutions, as confirmed by NMR and vibrational spectroscopic data, there is currently no theory that can fully explain these phenomena. In current work twelve mixtures of ionic liquids (ILs), in particular 1-butyl-3-methylimdazolium (C4mim+) with tetrafluoroborate (BF4-), hexafluorophosphate (PF6-), trifluoromethanesulfonate (TFO-) and bis(trifluoromethane)sulfonimide (TFSI-) with molecular solvents such as acetonitrile (AN), propylene carbonate (PC) or gamma butyrolactone (γ-BL) were studied by the molecular dynamics simulation technique. The local structure of the mixtures was studied in the framework of radial distribution functions (RDFs) and running coordination numbers (RCNs) that showed the particular behavior in AN and TFSI- systems. For TFSI- system the presence of two peaks on the RDFs with similar intensities were observed. The mutual arrangement of cation and anion corresponding to observed on the RDFs interatomic distances were investigated: they represent the position when the nitrogen atom of the anion is close to the imidazolium ring and when nitrogen atom of TFSI- not directly interacting with the ring, but instead the oxygen atoms do. The cation-anion coordination numbers changed for mixtures with AN from ~1.2 to ~3.6, for PC – from 0.6 to 3.0 and for γ-BL – from 0.8 to 3.1 with the increasing mole fraction of the ILs. Also, the association analysis was conducted using two different distance criteria. The results showed the formation of large clusters at approximately 0.15, 0.20, and 0.25 IL mole fractions for AN, PC, and γ-BL, respectively, based on the first criterion. However, this criterion tends to overestimate the extent of aggregation. In contrast, the second, stricter criterion indicates that the formation of large aggregates begins at IL mole fractions similar to where the experimental conductivity curves reach their maximum. To analyze the transport properties the diffusion coefficients of all the components and shear viscosity for all binary mixtures were obtained. The diffusion coefficients show good agreement with experimental data.
Analysis of volumetric properties of liquid mixtures: I. method of binary additive quasi-solvates
Authors: Efimov Pavel
Published: February 2025

The method of binary additive quasi-solvates (BAQS) a new approach for analyzing the physicochemical properties of solutions is proposed. Quasi-solvate Qij is a hypothetical two-particle structure in which one particle i is the ‘solute’ and the other particle j is the ‘solvent’. A set of similar quasi-solvates has the macroscopic property Fij. The solution is an additive mixture of quasi-solvates with weight functions wij. Two models have been developed within the BAQS method: with symmetric weight functions (BAQS/S) and with asymmetric weight functions (BAQS/A). On the example of volumetric properties of non-electrolyte solutions the possibilities of the method are shown. Effective limiting partial molar volumes of components for mixtures of non-electrolytes are determined. The possibility of predicting the properties of multicomponent solutions from data for two-component systems is considered. Applications to other solution properties are shown. Each of the proposed models has its own advantages and limitations.

BAQS/S: describes molar volumes of mixtures, especially for aprotonic systems, can be used to predict properties of multicomponent systems, effective on small datasets. Limitations: applicability to other solution properties remains questionable, model parameters differ from those obtained by the independent method, approximation accuracy is inferior to empirical models.

BAQS/A: applicable for any solution properties, informative and illustrative. Limitations: very sensitive to the choice of approximating equation, difficult to interpret results, developed only for two-component systems.
Micro-field of Verbal Plurality in Latin
Authors: Cherniukh Bohdan
Published: February 2025

The presented research deals with one of the components of the functional-semantic field of aspectuality namely the microfield of verbal plurality.

Despite the fact that verbal plurality is the subject of numerous studies, it has not been analyzed on the material of the Latin language, which determines the relevance of the study.

Within the framework of the aforementioned microfield, the analysis made it possible to single out the semantic zones of iterativity, multiplicativity, and distributivity. The presence of a certain number of similar acts separated by a time interval, the identity of actants and situations are characteristic features of iterativity with its subspecies refactivity, rarity and exaggerativity. Refactivity indicates a single repetition of a situation, realized at the word-forming level with the help of the prefix re- or the single use of the adverbs like rursum, iterum. Rarity and exaggerativity are scalar values, denoting situations whose frequency is lower or higher than expected.

Multiplicativity implies the repetition of the same type of situation with the same set of actants in one time interval without intervals between its “quanta”, as a result of which the situation is presented as continuous within the time interval. A type of multiplicativity is habituality to expres habitual situations, which are considered as a characteristic feature of the subject. Usitativity is distinguished as a subtype of habituality to characterize habitual situations existing under certain conditions.

Distributivity involves the performance of an action by one of a set of actants and, depending on the sphere of distribution of the situation. Its subspecies are subjective, objective, locative, subversive and cislocative distributivity.
