Authors: Wu Yingjie , Chen Yining , Yu Xiaochun , Zhang Minxing , Li Zhaoyu
Published: December 2023

The elevated occurrence of debilitating neurodegenerative disorders, such as amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), Huntington’s disease (HD), Alzheimer’s disease (AD), Parkinson’s disease (PD) and Machado–Joseph disease (MJD), demands urgent disease-modifying therapeutics. Owing to the evolutionarily conserved molecular signalling pathways with mammalian species and facile genetic manipulation, the nematode Caenorhabditis elegans (C. elegans) emerges as a powerful and manipulative model system for mechanistic insights into neurodegenerative diseases. Herein, we review several representative C. elegans models established for five common neurodegenerative diseases, which closely simulate disease phenotypes specifically in the gain-of-function aspect. We exemplify applications of high-throughput genetic and drug screenings to illustrate the potential of C. elegans to probe novel therapeutic targets. This review highlights the utility of C. elegans as a comprehensive and versatile platform for the dissection of neurodegenerative diseases at the molecular level.

Among the different surface modification techniques, micro-arc oxidation (MAO) is explored for its ability to enhance the surface properties of Ti alloys by creating a controlled and durable oxide layer. The incorporation of Cu ions during the MAO process introduces additional functionalities to the surface, offering improved corrosion resistance and antimicrobial activity. In this study, the β-metastable Ti-30Nb-5Mo alloy was oxidated through the MAO method to create a Cu-doped TiO2 coating. The quantity of Cu ions in the electrolyte was changed (1.5, 2.5, and 3.5 mMol) to develop coatings with different Cu concentrations. X-ray diffraction, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, scanning electron and atomic force microscopies, contact angle, and Vickers microhardness techniques were applied to characterize the deposited coatings. Cu incorporation increased the antimicrobial activity of the coatings, inhibiting the growth of Staphylococcus aureus, Enterococcus faecalis, Pseudomonas aeruginosa bacteria strains, and Candida albicans fungus by approximately 44%, 37%, 19%, and 41%, respectively. Meanwhile, the presence of Cu did not inhibit the growth of Escherichia coli. The hardness of all the deposited coatings was between 4 and 5 GPa. All the coatings were non-cytotoxic for adipose tissue-derived mesenchymal stem cells (AMSC), promoting approximately 90% of cell growth and not affecting the AMSC differentiation into the osteogenic lineage.

Published: December 2023

This study investigates the impact of a high-entropy alloy filler metal coated with copper (Cu) and post-weld heat treatment (PWHT) on the weldability of a ferrous medium-entropy alloy (MEA) in gas tungsten arc welding. The addition of 1-at% Cu had an insignificant effect on the microstructural behaviour, despite a positive mixing enthalpy with other elements. It was observed that a small amount of Cu was insufficient to induce phase separation into the Cu-rich phase and refine the microstructure of the as-welded specimen. However, with an increase in the PWHT temperature, the tensile strength remained mostly consistent, while the elongation significantly increased (elongation of as welded, PWHT700, PWHT800, and PWHT 900 were 19, 43, 55 and 68%, respectively). Notably, the PWHT temperature of 900 °C yielded the most desirable results by shifting the fracture location from the coarse-grained heat-affected zone (CGHAZ) to base metal (BM). This was due to significant recrystallisation and homogenised hardness of the cold-rolled BM during PWHT. However, the CGHAZ with coarse grains induced by the welding heat input remained invariant during the PWHT. This study proposes a viable PHWT temperature (900 °C) for enhancing the weldability of cold-rolled ferrous MEA without additional process.

Published: December 2023

Crocin is one of the most valuable components of the Chinese medicinal plant Crocus sativus and is widely used in the food, cosmetics, and pharmaceutical industries. Traditional planting of C. sativus is unable to fulfill the increasing demand for crocin in the global market, however, such that researchers have turned their attention to the heterologous production of crocin in a variety of hosts. At present, there are reports of successful heterologous production of crocin in Escherichia coli, Saccharomyces cerevisiae, microalgae, and plants that do not naturally produce crocin. Of these, the microalga Dunaliella salina, which produces high levels of β-carotene, the substrate for crocin biosynthesis, is worthy of attention. This article describes the biosynthesis of crocin, compares the features of each heterologous host, and clarifies the requirements for efficient production of crocin in microalgae.
Remaining Useful Life Prediction for Two-Phase Nonlinear Degrading Systems with Three-Source Variability
Authors: Cui Xuemiao , Lu Jiping , Han Yafeng
Published: December 2023

Recently, the estimation of remaining useful life (RUL) for two-phase nonlinear degrading devices has shown rising momentum for ensuring their safe and reliable operation. The degradation processes of such systems are influenced by the temporal variability, unit-to-unit variability, and measurement variability jointly. However, current studies only consider these three sources of variability partially. To this end, this paper presents a two-phase nonlinear degradation model with three-source variability based on the nonlinear Wiener process. Then, the approximate analytical solution of the RUL with three-source variability is derived under the concept of the first passage time (FPT). For better implementation, the offline model parameter estimation is conducted by the maximum likelihood estimation (MLE), and the Bayesian rule in conjunction with the Kalman filtering (KF) algorithm are utilized for the online model updating. Finally, the effectiveness of the proposed approach is validated through a numerical example and a practical case study of the capacitor degradation data. The results show that it is necessary to incorporate three-source variability simultaneously into the RUL prediction of the two-phase nonlinear degrading systems.
Adaptive DBSCAN Clustering and GASA Optimization for Underdetermined Mixing Matrix Estimation in Fault Diagnosis of Reciprocating Compressors
Authors: Li Yanyang , Wang Jindong , Zhao Haiyang , Wang Chang , Shao Qi
Published: December 2023

Underdetermined blind source separation (UBSS) has garnered significant attention in recent years due to its ability to separate source signals without prior knowledge, even when sensors are limited. To accurately estimate the mixed matrix, various clustering algorithms are typically employed to enhance the sparsity of the mixed matrix. Traditional clustering methods require prior knowledge of the number of direct signal sources, while modern artificial intelligence optimization algorithms are sensitive to outliers, which can affect accuracy. To address these challenges, we propose a novel approach called the Genetic Simulated Annealing Optimization (GASA) method with Adaptive Density-Based Spatial Clustering of Applications with Noise (DBSCAN) clustering as initialization, named the CYYM method. This approach incorporates two key components: an Adaptive DBSCAN to discard noise points and identify the number of source signals and GASA optimization for automatic cluster center determination. GASA combines the global spatial search capabilities of a genetic algorithm (GA) with the local search abilities of a simulated annealing algorithm (SA). Signal simulations and experimental analysis of compressor fault signals demonstrate that the CYYM method can accurately calculate the mixing matrix, facilitating successful source signal recovery. Subsequently, we analyze the recovered signals using the Refined Composite Multiscale Fuzzy Entropy (RCMFE), which, in turn, enables effective compressor connecting rod fault diagnosis. This research provides a promising approach for underdetermined source separation and offers practical applications in fault diagnosis and other fields.

Published: December 2023

Pomological traits are the major factors determining the quality and price of fresh fruits. This research was aimed to investigate the feasibility of using two hyperspectral imaging (HSI) systems in the wavelength regions comprising visible to near infrared (VisNIR) (400−1000 nm) and short-wave infrared (SWIR) (935−1720 nm) for predicting four strawberry quality attributes (firmness—FF, total soluble solid content—TSS, titratable acidity—TA, and dry matter—DM). Prediction models were developed based on artificial neural networks (ANN). The entire strawberry VisNIR reflectance spectra resulted in accurate predictions of TSS (R2 = 0.959), DM (R2 = 0.947), and TA (R2 = 0.877), whereas good prediction was observed for FF (R2 = 0.808). As for models from the SWIR system, good correlations were found between each of the physicochemical indices and the spectral information (R2 = 0.924 for DM; R2 = 0.898 for TSS; R2 = 0.953 for TA; R2 = 0.820 for FF). Finally, data fusion demonstrated a higher ability to predict fruit internal quality (R2 = 0.942 for DM; R2 = 0. 981 for TSS; R2 = 0.976 for TA; R2 = 0.951 for FF). The results confirmed the potential of these two HSI systems as a rapid and nondestructive tool for evaluating fruit quality and enhancing the product’s marketability.

Published: December 2023

Sedentary behaviors and low physical activity among hospitalized patients have detrimental effects on health and recovery. Wearable activity monitors are a promising tool to promote mobilization and physical activity. However, existing devices have limitations in terms of their outcomes and validity. The Activ8 device was optimized for the hospital setting. This study assessed the concurrent validity of the modified Activ8. Hospital patients performed an activity protocol that included basic (e.g., walking) and functional activities (e.g., room activities), with video recordings serving as the criterion method. The assessed outcomes were time spent walking, standing, upright, sedentary, and newly added elements of steps and transfers. Absolute and relative time differences were calculated, and Wilcoxon and Bland–Altman analyses were conducted. Overall, the observed relative time differences were lower than 2.9% for the basic protocol and 9.6% for the functional protocol. Statistically significant differences were detected in specific categories, including basic standing (p < 0.05), upright time (p < 0.01), and sedentary time (p < 0.01), but they did not exceed the predetermined 10% acceptable threshold. The modified Activ8 device is a valid tool for assessing body postures, motions, steps, and transfer counts in hospitalized patients. This study highlights the potential of wearable activity monitors to accurately monitor and promote PA among hospital patients.
Unlocking Mutual Gains—An Experimental Study on Collaborative Autonomous Driving in Urban Environment

Published: December 2023

Convoy driving, a specialized form of collaborative autonomous driving, offers a promising solution to the multifaceted challenges that transportation systems face, including traffic congestion, pollutant emissions, and the coexistence of connected autonomous vehicles (CAVs) and human-driven vehicles on the road, resulting in mixed traffic flow. While extensive research has focused on the collective societal benefits of convoy driving, such as safety and comfort, one critical aspect that has been overlooked is the willingness of individual vehicles to participate in convoy formations. While the collective benefits are evident, individual vehicles may not readily embrace this paradigm shift without explicit tangible benefits and incentives to motivate them. Moreover, the objective of convoy driving is not solely to deliver societal benefits but also to provide incentives and reduce costs at the individual level. Therefore, this research bridges this gap by designing and modeling the societal benefits, including traffic flow optimization and pollutant emissions, and individual-level incentives necessary to promote convoy driving. We model a fundamental diagram of mixed traffic flow, considering various factors such as CAV penetration rates, coalition intensity, and coalition sizes to investigate their relationships and their impact on traffic flow. Furthermore, we model the collaborative convoy driving problem using the coalitional game framework and propose a novel utility function encompassing incentives like car insurance discounts, traffic fine reductions, and toll discounts to encourage vehicle participation in convoys. Our experimental findings emphasize the need to strike a balance between CAV penetration rate, coalition intensity, size, and speed to realize the benefits of convoy driving at both collective and individual levels. This research aims to align the interests of road authorities seeking sustainable transportation systems and individual vehicle owners desiring tangible benefits, envisioning a future where convoy driving becomes a mutually beneficial solution.

Authors: Morales Avendaño Ever Darío , Navarrete Álava Jhonny , Garzón Cedeño Francesco , Zambrano Lara Marvin
Published: December 2023

La vinaza es un subproducto derivado de la destilación del fermentado del guarapo de caña de azúcar y caracterizado por elevados niveles de CE, DQO, DBO5 y acidez; lo cual ocasiona un impacto ambiental en los sectores de producción. El objetivo del presente estudio consistió en determinar el efecto del HNaCO3 como tratamiento fisicoquímico para mitigar la actividad herbicida de la vinaza colectada en una unidad productora artesanal de alcohol. Muestras de 10L a pH 4,0 fueron distribuidas en envases y ajustadas a pH de 5, 6 y 7 con HNaCO3; luego analizadas en cuanto a la CE, DQO, DBO5, salinidad y temperatura. El experimento se realizó con 10 especies de plantas silvestres, mantenidas en envases de 6,5 y 3,5L. Todas las unidades experimentales fueron dosificadas con vinaza a pH 4 (control), 5, 6 y 7, cada tres días, según su capacidad volumétrica (100 o 150ml); durante 8 semanas. Los resultados reflejaron   un descenso de la CE hasta un 98%, y una tendencia a la reducción de DQO con el incremento del pH. En cambio, el NaHCO3 no influyo en la DBO5; sin embargo, el porcentaje de remoción de la CE y DQO, produjo una reducción del efecto herbicida; mientras que en solo tres especies se observó efecto a nivel foliar, entre 5 y 30%. Se considera que el NaHCO3    promueve la reducción de la DQO, CE y neutraliza la acidez; lo cual sugiere la factibilidad de aplicación   en suelos, contribuyendo así con la mitigación del impacto ambiental.

Durante la juventud, en la vida universitaria y producto de las mismas exigencias de este contexto, son frecuentes vivencias emocionalmente negativas. El optimismo y la resiliencia constituyen factores protectores que predicen la ausencia de estas vivencias, ya que refieren a estilos de afrontamiento adaptativos ante situaciones estresantes. El objetivo de esta investigación fue demostrar el papel protector del optimismo y la resiliencia frente a las vivencias negativas en una muestra de estudiantes universitarios. Se llevó a cabo un estudio transversal de alcance explicativo en una muestra de 100 estudiantes universitarios a los que se aplicó el autorreporte vivencial, el test de optimismo reducido y la escala reducida de resiliencia. Se obtuvieron resultados que indican el papel predictor del optimismo ante las vivencias negativas depresivas, de ira-disgusto-rechazo, y de ansiedad-miedo. Por otro lado, se encontró que la ansiedad predice significativamente las vivencias negativas de ansiedad-miedo. Al igual que en investigaciones anteriores, resulta de suma importancia el estudio del optimismo y la resiliencia como factores protectores de la salud mental en estudiantes universitarios. Potenciar el desarrollo de altos niveles de optimismo y resiliencia podría ser un factor protector ante situaciones emocionalmente negativas en estudiantes universitarios.

Published: December 2023

The skin is the most important and largest organ of the human body. The skin needs so much attention, both in terms of disease and health, because it turns out that the skin itself is quite susceptible to bacterial and fungal attacks. Therefore, the formulation of lotions for the skin, namely ingredients that can kill bacteria or fungi and are safe for the skin can be justified. Natural ingredients that have properties as antibacterial ingredients for the skin are White Jeringau.The purpose of this study was to explain the differences in the inhibition of the lotion formulation of the ethanol extract of the White Jeringau Rhizome against the growth of Staphylococcus aureus bacteria using the diffusion method. The research method used is a quasi-experimental with purposive sampling technique. The sample in this study was the lotion of the ethanol extract of the Jeringau Putih rhizome with concentrations of 40%, 50% and 60% which were replicated 9 times each so that the number of samples in this study were 27 samples. Furthermore, the sample was tested for inhibition of Staphylococcus aureus bacteria by diffusion method.Based on the results of this study in 2022, antibacterial analysis of the white jeringau extract lotion sample formula I, formula II and formula III against Staphylococcus aureus bacteria using the Kirby-bauer diffusion method showed the results of the inhibition zone diameter, namely in formula I the average inhibition zone formed was 11 .50 mm, in formula II it is 13.61 mm and in formula III it is 14.50 mm. According to Davis and Stout (1971) the inhibitory response by active ingredients is grouped into 4 categories, namely weak activity (â‰¤ 5 mm), moderate (5-10 mm), strong (10-20 mm), and very strong (â‰¥ 20 mm). ). Based on this classification, white jeringau extract lotion formula I, formula II and formula III are categorized as strong. Formula I had the best inhibitory response because the concentration of the extract was the smallest and had a strong category of inhibition compared to formula II and formula III which had a higher concentration and had the same inhibitory power. the results of statistical test analysis using the Kruskal Walis test obtained p value = 0.000 0.05 and it was concluded that there were differences in the white jeringau rhizome lotion formula I, II, and III in inhibiting the growth of Staphylococcus aureus bacteria.Â

Handroanthus impetiginosus Mart., popularmente conhecido como ipê-roxo, é uma espécie florestal nativa da Amazônia com múltiplas funcionalidades, por isso, estratégias que possam otimizar a produção de mudas dessa espécie são indispensáveis, como o uso de bioestimulantes de crescimento. Diante disso, o objetivo deste trabalho foi avaliar o crescimento de mudas de H. impetiginosus após inoculação de microrganismos promotores de crescimento. Quatro tratamentos foram testados, sendo três com inoculação de microrganismos (R46 = Burkholderia pyrrocinia; R92 =Bacillus subtilis e MIX = quatro isolados de Trichoderma asperellum) e um sem inoculação, considerado como referência (CTL). A inoculação ocorreu 14 dias após a germinação e as medições dos parâmetros avaliados ocorreram após 60 dias. Para altura, diâmetro do coleto e Índice de Qualidade de Dickson, apenas os tratamentos R92 e MIX foram superiores ao CTL. O teor de clorofila não diferiu entre os tratamentos. A análise de Cluster evidenciou a semelhança entre R92 e MIX. A inoculação de microrganismos resultou no aumento na massa fresca de raiz. Acreditamos que as propriedades antimicrobianas da espécie florestal podem ter inibido os efeitos de R46, enquanto que para R92 os benefícios puderam ser notados, pois H. impetiginosus libera exudatos que atraem a bactéria. Os efeitos positivos e relevantes do MIX podem ser explicados pela capacidade do fungo em produzir ácido indol-3-acético. Assim, esse estudo destacou a eficiência de bioestimulantes para a produção de mudas de H. imperiginosus e recomenda-se o uso de B. subtilis e T. asperellum como estratégia para aperfeiçoar a prática.

Published: December 2023

Congenital Central Hypoventilation Syndrome is a rare genetic disorder that presents from birth and prevents automatic control of respiration. Our aim in this study was to examine the effectiveness of a 6-month physical therapy program applied to a patient with Congenital Central Hypoventilation Syndrome and cerebral palsy. A 6-month-old patient who was diagnosed with Congenital Central Hypoventilation Syndrome and subsequently developed Cerebral Palsy due to asphyxia was included in the study. The case was enrolled in a physical therapy program for 2 days a week for 6 months in the home environment where they lived. The case was evaluated before and after treatment. In our case, the Modified Ashworth Scale, the Alberta Infant Motor Scale, the Hammersmith Infant Neurological Examination, Test of Sensory Functions in Infants, and the Face, Legs, Activity, Cry, Consol ability scale were used. In our case, pre-treatment and post-treatment scores were as follows, respectively: Alberta Infant Motor Scale score 3-8, Hammersmith Infant Neurological Examination score 6-17, Test of Sensory Functions in Infants score 2-9, and Face, Legs, Activity, Cry, Consol ability scale score 8-3. In our case, there was a significant improvement in Modified Ashworth Scale scores before and after treatment. Additionally, at the conclusion of the study, it was noted that the heightened pain and sensitivity resulting from the patient's extended stay in the intensive care unit reduced with the treatment. We believe that the administered physiotherapy and rehabilitation program offered support to the patient in achieving neuro-motor and sensory integration, underscoring the essential role of physiotherapy in rare diseases.

Peranan Pemimpin Gereja Bagi Jemaat Dalam Menjaga Keutuhan NKRI Dari Ancaman Radikalisme
Authors: Harita Novi Saria , Setiawan David Eko
Published: December 2023

Abstract:   Radicalism is an understanding or practice of a doctrine that is considered true and is also an extreme idea. This kind of understanding can be a threat to the sustainability of the nation, religion, ethnicity and race in Indonesia. This understanding arises because the values ​​of Pancasila are no longer implemented in the life of the nation and state. So what is the role of church leaders in maintaining the integrity of the Republic of Indonesia from the threat of radicalism in the lives of their congregations? To answer these questions, in this study the author uses a descriptive qualitative approach with the library method. The purpose of this study is to explain the role of a church leader in maintaining the integrity of the Unitary State of the Republic of Indonesia from the threat of radicalism to the congregation he leads. The results of this study are church leaders must provide guidance to local church members, encourage congregations to care for each other through deacon services and encourage congregations to be involved in the nationalism movement.
Abstrak:  Radikalisme adalah paham atau pengamalan suatu doktrin yang dianggap benar dan juga merupakan gagasan yang ekstrim. Pemahaman seperti ini dapat menjadi ancaman bagi keberlangsungan bangsa, agama, suku dan ras di Indonesia. Pemahaman ini muncul karena nilai-nilai Pancasila tidak lagi diimplementasikan dalam kehidupan berbangsa dan bernegara. Lantas bagaimana peran pimpinan gereja dalam menjaga keutuhan NKRI dari ancaman radikalisme dalam kehidupan jemaatnya? Untuk menjawab pertanyaan tersebut, dalam penelitian ini penulis menggunakan metode kepustakaan. Tujuan dari penelitian ini adalah untuk menjelaskan peran seorang pemimpin gereja dalam menjaga keutuhan Negara Kesatuan Republik Indonesia dari ancaman radikalisme kepada jemaat yang dipimpinnya. Hasil dari penelitian ini adalah pemimpin gereja harus melakukan pembinaan terhadap warga gereja lokal, mendorong jemaat untuk saling peduli melalui pelayanan diakonia dan mendorong jemaat untuk terlibat dalam pergerakan nasionalisme.
Jejak Ziarah Pemikiran Heidegger dalam Ruang Pendidikan Konseling Kristen Atas Sorge-Entschlossenheit-Angst- Zeitlichkeit
Authors: Munte Alfonso
Published: December 2023

Latar belakang penelitian ini mempersoalkan relasi ketidaksetaraan antara konseli dengan konselor dalam ruang aksilogis pendidikan konseling Kristen. Ketidaksetaraan relasi tidak hanya terjadi dalam ruang gender secara umum, namun juga menyasar pada posisi konselor dan konseli. Posisi ketidaksetaraan ini kemudian menjadi problematik ketika berhadapan dengan eksistensialis narasi konseli yang membutuhkan tempat istirahat di persimpangan jalan, ruang dengar, tanpa perlu pengasihan dan nasehat. Oleh karena itu, tujuan penelitian ini melihat kesenjangan nir egalitarian pada fitur konseling Pendidikan Kristen (narasi, ketakutan, trauma, spiritualitas, keheningan, emosi dan kematian) melalui berbagai pendapat peneliti sebelumnya. Metode penelitian ini adalah penelitian kualitatif dengan menelusuri pemikiran-pemikiran Heidegger yang bersinggungan dengan pendidikan Konseling Kristen melalui penelitian terdahulu sebagai sumber sekunder. Pencarian data melalui studi kepustakaan melihat perjalanan subjek sebagai coming-into-being. Baik dalam untaian konstruktifitas narasi subjek maupun narasi sebagai ruang refleksi. Temuan penelitian menunjukkan bahwa filosofi Heidegger, melalui peneliti-peneliti sebelumnya setelah membaca pemikiran Heidegger mampu meracik, merefleksikan sorge, angst dan dasein yang kemudian membawa kesegaran (oase) sepanjang perjalanan subjek/konseli di dalam ruang pendidikan Kristen. Entah dia sebagai guru, rekan guru, pekerja sekolah ataupun subjek/nara/peserta didik.
Menafsir Kisah Lea dalam Kitab Kejadian 29:16-35 dari Perspektif Feminis
Authors: Parengkuan Sherena Gracia C.
Published: December 2023

This paper will discuss the story of Leah in Genesis 29:16–35 as an attempt to interpret the Bible contextually. This interpretation of the story of Leah found in Genesis 29:16–35 will be based on Elisabeth Fiorenza's hermeneutic dance called the Wisdom Dance. In this paper, it is found that Leah faced reality with everything that was detrimental to her with strength and calm because she did not blame anyone (compared to Rachel, who was angry because she could not have children). Through Lea's story, it can be seen how women make choices in certain circumstances that are the same as defending themselves and fighting for justice for themselves as an effort for equality.

This paper uses qualitative methods with a seeing through approach through a Sufi lens. Using a Sufi lens, readers, especially Protestants, can understand that there is an extraordinary character and immanent value of spirituality in Mary that has not been known to Bible readers. Maryam's perfection is close to the beauty of her spirituality which displays enlightenment or revelation of God.
Mineral Composition and Heavy Metal Contents of Chestnut Honey Collected From Kastamonu Region

Published: December 2023

Chestnut honey, which is known for its apitherapic properties besides its nutritional attributes, is one of the main groups of monofloral honey types. Kastamonu is the most important province because where constitutes two-thirds of the chestnut forest flora of the Black Sea region. Kastamonu Chestnut Honey, produced in apiaries within the chestnut forests, has been registered as a geographical indication and designation of origin. The nutritional value of honey is related to its nutritional and chemical content. Kastamonu chestnut forests have a different distribution with their scattered structure from the coastline to 1000-1200 meters altitude. Therefore, this study was planned with the prediction that chestnut honey produced in different districts has a different composition. The aim of the study is to contribute to official regulations regarding the product, product standardization, and national branding studies by determining mineral and heavy metal contents based on the region where the chestnut honey is produced. As a result of the study, the main concentrations of the elements in the chestnut honey samples were affected by the geographical location, because the apiaries where honey samples were collected in chestnut forests in Kastamonu districts had different altitudes, climates and soil properties, and different secondary flora. The most abundant elements in the samples were potassium (1410.0-6581.5 ppm) sodium (0-204.4 ppm), calcium (125.3-287.5 ppm), and magnesium (24.73-61.88 ppm). Iron (1.32-9.54 ppm), zinc (1.34-20.84 ppm), and manganese (1.39-18.69 ppm) were also found in moderate and others in trace levels. Because manganese is found at moderate levels in all chestnut honey samples and it is found at higher levels than other honey types, it can be recommended that Mn, as fingerprints to detect imitation and adulteration of chestnut honey. While Cd, a heavy metal, was found in only one sample, Ni was not detected in any sample. Whereas Pb concentration varied between 1.84 ppm and 3.38 ppm for the samples, the contents of Al concentrations were quite high (2.94-13.94 ppm). Because there wasn't a maximum limit for heavy metal contents of honey types in the Turkish Food Codex Contaminants Regulation, no evaluation could have been made regarding the suitability of these heavy metal contents. It is thought that heavy metal contamination limits in honey types should be included in the regulations and especially secondary sources such as metallic containers used for storage during handling processes and harvesting of honey for heavy metal contamination should be reviewed.
