Deficiency of the Hemoglobin-Haptoglobin Receptor, CD163, Worsens Insulin Sensitivity in Obese Male Mice
Authors: Schleh Michael W. , Ameka Magdalene K. , Rodriguez Alec S. , Hasty Alyssa H. 
Published: September 2024

Excessive iron accumulation in metabolic organs such as the adipose tissue, liver, and skeletal muscle is associated with increased diabetes risk. Tissue-resident macrophages serve multiple roles, including managing inflammatory tone and regulating parenchymal iron homeostasis, thus protecting against metabolic dysfunction upon iron overload. The scavenger receptor CD163 is uniquely present on tissue-resident macrophages and plays a significant role in iron homeostasis by clearing extracellular hemoglobin-haptoglobin complexes, thereby limiting oxidative damage caused by free hemoglobin in metabolic tissues. We show that the absence of CD163 exacerbates glucose intolerance and insulin resistance in male mice with obesity. Additionally, loss of CD163 reduced the expression of iron regulatory genes (Tfr1, Cisd1, Slc40a1) in adipose tissue macrophages and anti-inflammatory (M2-like) bone marrow–derived macrophages (BMDMs). Furthermore, CD163 deficiency mediated a proinflammatory shift and limited hemoglobin scavenging specifically in M2-like BMDMs. To this end, iron buffering was diminished in inguinal white adipose tissue (iWAT) macrophages in vivo, which culminated in iron spillover into adipocytes and CD45+ CD11B− nonmyeloid immune cells in iWAT. These findings show that CD163 on tissue-resident macrophages is critical for their anti-inflammatory and hemoglobin scavenging roles, and its absence results in impaired systemic insulin action in an obese setting.

De sustantivo a pronombre relativo: la historia de men en el zapoteco de San Bartolo Yautepec
Authors: Covarrubias Acosta Adela 
Published: September 2024

En este artículo se estudia el desarrollo histórico del sustantivo *kw-enneʔ ‘persona’ desde el protozapoteco hasta el zapoteco de San Bartolo Yautepec, una variante de zapoteco sureño. Esta forma se gramaticalizó como un pronombre de tercera persona de respeto =mé, como primer elemento en algunos compuestos nominales que comienzan con men- y como el pronombre relativo men. Se estudian las formas cognadas del pronombre relativo men en otras variantes de zapoteco cisyautepequeño en donde encontramos evidencia de cómo se dio el reanálisis de sustantivo hipernónimo a pronombre relativo y se proponen 3 etapas de gramaticalización para estos pronombres relativos. Se propone que el pronombre relativo del zapoteco de San Bartolo Yautepec se encuentra en la segunda etapa en la que ha sufrido pérdida de rasgos de animacidad. Se argumenta que este reanálisis de sustantivos hiperónimos a pronombres relativos es un canal de gramaticalización de pronombres relativos común en las lenguas zapotecas de la Sierra Sur y se proporcionan ejemplos de cinco lenguas zapotecas.
Factors Affecting Beer Quality During Storage – A Review
Authors: Klimczak Krystian , Cioch-Skoneczny Monika , Poreda Aleksander 
Published: September 2024

Abstract
Fermented beverages such as beer are known for their relatively long shelf life. However, the main factor limiting their shelf life is the qualitative changes that occur during storage. From the moment the beer is produced, its characteristics, such as taste, aroma, and colloidal stability undergo continuous change. The intensity of these changes depends on the type of beer, storage conditions, and length of storage. While some degree of ageing can have a positive influence on sensory characteristics of a beer, beer stalling is seen as a significant problem. As it is currently understood, beer ageing is mainly caused by the formation of stalling aldehydes. At the same time, compounds which bestow the beer its flavour, such as esters, terpenes, and iso-α-acids undergo qualitative and quantitative changes. As a result, aroma discriminants such as freshness, fruitiness or florality are often lost over time. In their place, aromas described as ribes, cardboard, bread-like, honey-like or sherry-like appear. The article aims to present the changes in beer sensorial, physicochemical, and microbiological characteristics during storage and the factors that affect beer quality during ageing The article also describes the variables which according to the current literature, may alter the flavour stability of a beer.
Stability Study on Physicochemical Composition, Bioactive Compounds and Antioxidant Potential of Apple Jam: Influence of Daily Storage Conditions
Authors: Djaoudene Ouarda , Bachir-Bey Mostapha , Djebari Sabrina 
Published: September 2024

Abstract
The fruits and their derivatives are products known for their excellent energy intake and their beneficial health effects. Jams are an efficient and tasty way of fruit preservation. Jam quality is greatly influenced by storage conditions like temperature and duration. The current investigation aimed to study the evaluation changes of physicochemical characteristics (total sugars (TS), free amino acids (FAA), hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF), and ascorbic acid (AA)), phytochemical composition (carotenoid, total phenolic, and flavonoid contents), and antioxidant ability (DPPH and ferric reducing power) of two brands of commercial apple jam during daily conditions of use. The jams were assessed during the first 30 days after first opening the tins, with testing the effect of 25°C (ambient temperature) and 35°C (hot summer temperature). The findings show that after a month of storage at 25 and 35°C, the decreasing levels for samples were respectively 11-13% (S1) and 12-16% (S2) for TS, 63-68% (S1), and 57-63% (S2) for FAA, 6-7% (S1) and 4-5% (S2) for AA; whereas, HMF revealed increases of 127-143% (S1) and 186-232% (S2). Likewise, significant losses of bioactive substances and antioxidant capacity have been observed for jam samples. Based on the current findings, it can be concluded that storing industrial apple jam under daily conditions of use leads to significant loss of quality and antioxidant parameters. For this reason, it is recommended to consume the apple jam as soon as possible after opening the tin and to store it at relatively low temperatures during use.
The Influence of Consumer Motivation on Engagement with Sports Club Social Media: An Intrinsic and Extrinsic Analysis
Authors: Trkulja Željka Marčinko , Primorac Dinko , Martinčević Ivana 
Published: September 2024

Abstract

Background
Understanding the motivations behind consumer engagement on sports club social media can help clubs and marketers tailor their strategies to better connect with fans, fostering deeper loyalty and more meaningful interactions. By identifying what drives fans to engage—whether it is a genuine love for the brand or the pursuit of rewards—clubs can create more targeted content that not only boosts engagement but also strengthens the overall fan experience and community.

Objectives
This study explores the impact of intrinsic and extrinsic motivation on consumer engagement with sports club social media, utilising the theoretical framework of Uses and Gratifications Theory. Methods/Approach: Using structural equation modelling and network analysis, different motivational factors, such as internal and external motivation, were analysed to determine their influence on engagement behaviours.

Results
The findings reveal that both intrinsic motivations (e.g., personal identity, entertainment, and brand love) and extrinsic motivations (e.g., rewards, empowerment, and social interaction) significantly affect consumer engagement. Intrinsic motivations were strong predictors of high-quality engagement behaviours, including meaningful commenting and active participation in discussions. In contrast, extrinsic motivations, particularly the role of social interaction, were more associated with the frequency of posting and sharing content.

Conclusions
These results underscore the importance of understanding the diverse motivational drivers behind consumer interactions with sports club social media to enhance fan engagement and loyalty.
Influence of Demand on Supplier Selection Using the Analytic Hierarchy Process: A Case Study Validation in the Textile Industry
Authors: Ramos Bruna , Silva João , Vila-Chã António , Azevedo Henrique , Ramos João , Ferreira Ana Cristina 
Published: September 2024

Abstract

Background
Supplier selection has emerged as an important activity regarding strategic purchasing with implications for the operational efficiency of both organisations and supply chains. Given the need to evaluate both qualitative and quantitative criteria for different supply alternatives, the decision-making process became more complex.

Objectives
In the present work, an adapted Analytic Hierarchy Process model is proposed for supplier selection, which is being validated within the context of a textile company. The multi-criteria decision support model was coded in Python and encompasses criteria, cost, quality, delivery time, sustainability, and history.

Methods/Approach
This model allocates weights to individual suppliers based on the diverse criteria considered. Four alternatives were considered as the chemical fabric dyeing pigment suppliers. Two different scenarios were considered to understand the influence of demand on the supplier selection problem.

Results
The cost is the most valued criterion in the supplier selection (0.493 for Scenario 1 and 0.426 for Scenario 2). The second most important criterion for regular demand is quality (0.224), whereas, for the increased demand scenario, delivery time (0.301) is the second most impactful criterion.

Conclusions
The application of the AHP for both tested scenarios resulted in a different priority, highlighting the adjustment capacity of the implemented model to different search parameterisations.
How did Hotels Measure Performance during Covid-19? Insights from Central and Eastern Europe
Authors: Jugović Tijana , Maričić Milica 
Published: September 2024

Abstract

Background
One of the industries that was among the most disrupted by the Covid-19 pandemic was the tourism industry. Hotel owners and managers needed guidelines on how to combat the “new normal” and enable the sustainable economic operation of the hotels they managed.

Objectives
This paper addresses the problem of identifying performance management (PM) indicators hotel managers turned to during the pandemic and the factors which motivated them to do so.

Methods/Approach
Managers of hotels in winter destinations in Serbia and Bosnia and Herzegovina were surveyed on the performance measures they implemented in the hotels they managed.

Results
The results of the research show that in the era of the Covid-19 pandemic, hotel managers relied on both organisational and operational measures but found operational indicators more useful. The characteristics of managers, such as business position in the hotel, age, level of education and level of work experience, are related to the choice of indicators and levels of their implementation. Also, the hotel’s characteristics, such as size, revenue, and growth rate, proved to have an impact on the level of PM indicators measured.

Conclusions
In times of crises, such as pandemics, organisational PM indicators that rely mainly on financial results are not as useful as operational ones. The reliance on operational measures of indicators increased the resilience of hotels.
Agroforestry Contribution to Native Woody Species Conservation, Carbon Sequestration, and Livelihood Benefits in Ethiopia: A Systematic Review
Authors: Getachew Goremsu , Mulatu Abu 
Published: September 2024

Abstract
The conservation of endangered native species and climate change are currently the two most pressing environmental problems on the planet. Therefore, the general objective of the review was to synthesize evidence of the contributions of agroforestry systems to the conservation of native species, carbon sequestration, and livelihood benefits in Ethiopia. A total of 104 publications from 2000 to 2024 publication years were used to provide available evidence and research gaps on agroforestry contribution to native species conservation (n=21), carbon sequestration (n=33), and livelihood benefits (n=35) in Ethiopia. Furthermore, 38 papers from other parts of the world were used to support ideas and relevant evidence linked to the title. The review’s findings confirm that agroforestry can serve as in-situ conservation for endangered native species including Cordia africana Lam., Hagenia abyssinica (Bruce) J.F. Gmel., Acacia abyssinica Hochst. ex Benth, Croton macrostachyus Hochst. ex Delile, Ficus sur Forssk and Faidherbia albida (Delile) A. Chev. The review systematic review indicated that agroforestry systems store an average of 40.04 ± 10.4 Mg C ha −1 in biomass and 68.9 ± 9.9 Mg C ha−1 in soil in Ethiopia. Hence, the above-ground carbon was highest for coffee-based agroforestry (17.12 ± 6.3 Mg ha−1) followed by homegarden (16.6 ± 3.2 3 Mg ha−1) and woodlot (7.1 ± 1.09 Mg ha−1). Fuelwood, food, fodder, income, timber, fruits, and poles for construction were the main benefits of livelihood; which have been reported in 37, 30, 26, 25, 23, and 20,18 published articles, respectively. Empirical studies show that an agroforestry system, which can significantly reduce the vulnerabilities of households and store a large amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere, is an important strategy for climate adaptation and mitigation. Moreover, further scientific research on agroforestry on the sustainability of agroforestry is needed from responsible bodies in Ethiopia.
Natural Processes in the Area of the Former Kakhovske Reservoir After the Destruction of the Kakhovka HPP
Authors: Vyshnevskyi Viktor І. , Shevchuk Serhii А. 
Published: September 2024

Abstract
The results of the studies devoted to the consequences of the Kakhovka dam destruction on June 6, 2023 in the course of the Russia-Ukraine war are presented. After the accident, the Kakhovske reservoir, which was the largest by volume on the Dnipro River, practically disappeared. It has turned into the network of river branches and lakes that do not compare with the former reservoir.
Currently, the conditions on the territory of the former reservoir have approached those observed in natural conditions. To some extent, they depend on the water discharge of the Dnipro River, more exactly, on the water discharge of the Dnipro HPP located upstream. In the conditions of large water runoff, the large part of the former Kakhovske reservoir is covered with water.
An unusual natural phenomenon of the area of the former reservoir is very rapid overgrowth, primarily by willow. A year after the accident, its height in places which is rich in organic sediments exceeded 4 meters. At the same time, the size of the trees on the bottom covered by sands is much smaller. Today, a large area of the former reservoir looks like a dense forest.
Construction and Reconstruction of the Language System
Authors: Dolník Juraj 
Published: September 2024

Abstract
This study loosely follows on the brilliant condensed interpretations of Jan Kořenský on the status of speech (in the sense of parole) and its assumptions (in the sense of langue) from the position of subject-object noetics. The author focuses on the question of what real language is. He is concerned with whether langue is only a social reality (exists only in social interactions) or also a cognitive reality (exists in some way in the cognition of the communicators). In his interpretation of langue, it appears as a rational language system, against which he sets a practical language system with the question of what reality these systems represent. He is reluctant to accept the view that langue is somehow present in a practical linguistic system. He takes the position that while a rational language system is only a reality constructed by the mind (a construct), a practical language system is a reality that arose from the gradual coordination of communicative activities of social subjects, which introduced flexible and stable practical rules without having to create a system in the sense of langue, functioning as a presuppositional basis of speech. He illuminates these systems from the point of view of the basic question of the theory of knowledge connected with the understanding of truth, and he points out their practical usefulness. He starts from the thesis that man is a construction-reconstruction being, and aims to support the rehabilitation of correspondence truth.
Artificial Intelligence: Medium or Subject? On the 10th Anniversary of the Publication of the Article “Theory of New Media and the Transformation of a Medium into a Subject?”
Authors: Bennett Ľudmila Lacková 
Published: September 2024

AbstractOn the occasion of the tenth anniversary of the publication of the article “Theory of new media and the transformation of a medium into a subject?” by Jan Kořenský, one of the most influential Czech linguists, it is important to evaluate his influence and visionary ideas that remain relevant even today. In his 2014 article, Kořenský predicted fundamental changes caused by technological progress, where new communication technologies change their role from mere means to acting entities with profound impacts on society. When he made these predictions, ocial networks such as Facebook and Instagram were examples of technologies affecting interpersonal relationships and the identity of users. Today, a decade later, the debate is shifting to artificial intelligence, raising questions about the future of work and the role of humanity. This article not only reflects Kořensky’s analysis of technological change, but also explores the current concerns and potential impacts of AI on society, science, and ethics. Kořenský’s theories remain an inspiration not only for linguists, but also for the general public dealing with the influence of technology on our reality.
Jan Kořenský as a Proponent of Linguistic Pragmatics in Czechoslovak Linguistics
Authors: Hirschová Milada 
Published: September 2024

Abstract
In the work of Jan Kořenský, pragmatic topics were mentioned as early as in 1970s, first without being termed explicitly. In the most extensive and elaborated version, Kořenský presented his concept of relations among semantics, grammar and pragmatics in the 1984 book Konstrukce gramatiky ze sémantické báze (Construing grammar on the basis of semantics). In the book, a pragmatic component (pragmatic dimension) is included in the model of grammar as a factor pertaining to the functional properties of lexical and grammatical variables. Also, Kořenský introduced an original approach towards pragmatic interpretation of utterances (semantics of “being said“) which can be considered an inspiration for the concept of logophoricity in discourse (a phenomenon broader than the traditional notion of “reported speech“).
Dynamical Systems in the Work of Jan Kořenský: Notes on the Solution of One of His Hypotheses
Authors: Zámečník Lukáš 
Published: September 2024

AbstractIn the linguistic work of Jan Kořenský we find methodological inspiration from the theory of dynamical systems. The aim of this paper is to trace this inspiration in Kořenskýʼs key texts and to relate this conceptual borrowing to the time-specific (in the Czech environment, especially in the 1990s) interdisciplinary links between the humanities and the natural sciences. The text recalls Kořenskýʼs hypothesis about the relationship between order and chaos and the transformation of this central conceptual pair in the course of the development of the sciences at the turn of the 20th and 21st centuries.

Moving Towards Sustainable Energy Management Solution: Navigating the Readiness of Bangladesh to Implement ISO 50001
Authors: Pushpo Faria Haque , Uddin Kutub 
Published: September 2024

Objective: As global energy demands rise and climate concerns intensify, sustainable energy management has become crucial in today’s competitive economic landscape. While Bangladesh has made significant progress in economic development, it faces significant challenges due to resource constraints and climate change. To sustain its economic momentum, Bangladesh must address these challenges through effective energy management and the adoption of sustainable practices. ISO 50001 is a widely recognized and effective energy management tool crucial for sustainable growth and resilience. However, Bangladesh has not yet adopted this standard. Given this situation, the study intends to assess the readiness of Bangladesh in implementing ISO 50001.

Theoretical Framework: The application of gap analysis and questionnaire survey of this study demonstrates a methodological approach to understand the initial readiness of Bangladesh towards ISO 50001. Complementarily, this framework contributes to a comprehensive understanding of improvement required for energy management to mitigate climate challenges within the region.

Method: It involves a gap analysis using a checklist-based questionnaire survey aligned with ISO 50001 requirements.

Results and Discussion: The results indicate that Bangladesh has significant potential to implement this energy management system, with an overall readiness score of 74%. However, improvements are needed in Leadership, Support, and Performance Evaluation.

Research Implications: This study serves as an exploratory analysis to highlight initial perceptions of readiness and areas for improvement.

Originality/Value: The study offers valuable insights for policymakers, industry stakeholders, and practitioners, helping guide strategic planning and future research to enhance energy performance and sustainability in Bangladesh.
