Physical Treatments for Alleviating Chilling Injury in Fresh produce
Authors: Zainal Putri Wulandari , Syukri Daimon , Suliansyah Irfan , Fahmy Khandra 
Published: May 2024

Fresh produce has a short shelf-life because the metabolic activity continues after harvest. Low temperature is one of the postharvest technology methods that suppress this activity along storage. Its effects prolong the shelf-life of fruits and vegetables. This method has long been recommended to reduce deterioration during storage so that it can maintain the quality of fruits and vegetables. However, it still has drawbacks such as chilling injury, especially in tropical and subtropical origins that are chilling sensitive. Therefore, another storage method is needed to alleviate chilling injury such as low-temperature conditioning, high-temperature conditioning, and intermittent warming which only use environmental conditioning during storage. The other one has modified atmosphere packaging and controlled atmosphere packaging. They utilize the ideal atmosphere for each fresh product during storage. The treatment proved that it could alleviate chilling injuries such as reduced pitting, flesh injury, failure of mature, scald, peel browning, weight losses, electrolyte leakage, malondialdehyde, respiration rates, production of superoxide radical anion (O₂-) & hydrogen peroxide (H₂O₂), lipoxygenase activity, phospholipase D, phenylalanine ammonia-lyase (PAL), and polyphenol oxidase (PPO). Keywords: Chilling injury, Fresh produce, Intermittent warming, Low temperature, Physical treatment.

Cultural Creative Product Design Methods under the Path of User Empathy
Authors: Kong Yifan 
Published: May 2024

Abstract
As consumption upgrades, China’s cultural and creative industry is experiencing rapid growth. However, user empathy remains lacking in some products. This paper explores a design method for these products based on empathy theory. It employs the TF-IDF algorithm to extract semantic features from product texts and uses the SVM algorithm for classification. Post-classification, the LDA theme model analyzes sentiment, integrating both visual and semantic models to enhance product design. An analysis of cultural and creative products using data analysis software reveals that approximately 79.5% of user comments exhibit positive sentiment, with an average sentiment score of 2.9218 and a peak score of 39.1363. This suggests strong positive emotional responses from nearly 80% of users. The proposed method effectively enhances user-product interaction and empathy.

Summary
Wild boars, being a common game species, inhabit regions across Eurasia, the southern regions of Asia and certain Indonesian islands. Being omnivorous and due to their relatively long lifespan, wide distribution and a relatively high number of shot animals per annual legal hunting season, they are suitable to be biological indicators of occurrence of heavy metals. Concentrations of cadmium, lead, arsenic and mercury were analyzed by atomic absorption spectrometry and cold vapor atomic absorption spectrometry in the livers of free-living wild boars (n = 58) from two locations in the Republic of North Macedonia. In all four examined heavy metals, no statistically significant difference between the locations was found (p > 0.05). The mean levels of heavy metals were Cd 0.391 mg/kg and 0.339 mg/kg; Pb 0.213 mg/kg and 0.204 mg/kg; Hg 0.034 mg/kg and 0.037 mg/kg; As 0.035 mg/kg and 0.029 mg/kg in the livers of boars from Bitola and Gevgelija hunting sites, respectively. Although some samples (two samples of Hg, ten samples of Cd and two samples of Pb) exceeded the legal limits, the average values for all heavy metals were far below the maximum permitted values. These findings are promising since they suggest that the ecosystem in the Republic of North Macedonia is stable concerning heavy metal pollution.

Summary
The aim of this study was to examine morphometric values of erythrocytes in donkeys and horses. While the hematological and biochemical profiles of horses and donkeys have been previously documented in literature, there are no precise morphometric data regarding erythrocytes in donkeys. Given the increasing presence of donkeys in the world, the need exists to improve knowledge about this species. Balkan donkey is a large autochthonous breed found in Serbia. Blood cell parameters such as red blood cell count (RBC), Mean Corpuscular Volume or Mean Cell Volume (MCV) are well documented in horses. However, papers examining blood morphometry in donkeys, especially erythrocyte size, are scarce. The clinical examination in this study included a total of 72 horses and donkeys. All animals were adults, located in Vojvodina, Northern Province of Serbia. Blood samples were evaluated and analyzed using ImageJ program. Following the analysis of the morphometric diameters of erythrocytes in donkeys and horses, it can be concluded that donkeys have the largest erythrocyte diameters. The precise reason for this phenomenon is still unknown.

Published: May 2024

Summary
This study aims to investigate the potential for biodiesel production from oilseed crops in Serbia, using a novel assessment method. The method involves calculating the arable land area that can be utilized for raw material production for the biodiesel industry. The available land for the production of biodiesel feedstocks is determined by subtracting the land required to meet the food needs of the domestic population and livestock from the maximum oilseed production area, which is defined as 20% of the total arable land area in Serbia. The findings reveal that approximately 353,000 hectares of land are available for producing raw materials for biodiesel production without compromising the domestic food supply. This land can provide enough raw materials to produce up to 324,000 tonnes of biodiesel annually, equivalent to 15.2% of the total domestic diesel fuel consumption for transportation in 2021.

Summary
The goal of this research was to identify lung lesions in slaughtered fatteners originating from registered farms. Evaluation of lung lesions was based on their visible macroscopic features, which were then associated with corresponding diseases. Data on lung lesions in slaughtered fatteners were collected over the period spanning from October to December 2022 from three slaughterhouses (A, B, C), involving 150 fattening animals from each slaughterhouse. The examination of slaughtered pig lungs from all three slaughterhouses in our study revealed that Mycoplasma hyopneumoniae lesions in the lungs are the most prevalent, while Actinobacillus pleuropneumonia and bronchopneumonia occurrences are rare.

Published: May 2024

Summary
This study investigates earnings management and its determinants in the agricultural and manufacturing sectors, with the aim of promoting the quality of financial reporting. The sample includes 1,381 actively operating companies in AP Vojvodina, Republic of Serbia, in the period from 2019 to 2021. Earnings management activities are identified using discretionary accruals computed with modified Jones model. Panel data analysis reveals that profitability and company size exert a positive and statistically significant influence on earnings management practices. Conversely, sales growth demonstrates a negative and statistically significant impact on earnings management. Furthermore, the analysis across the studied years indicates statistically significant differences in the prevalence of earnings management practices. However, the study found no significant differences in earnings management practices between the agriculture and manufacturing sectors. The significance of this study lies in its potential to provide valuable insights for investors, regulators, and financial analysts, helping them in making informed decisions. Moreover, it contributes to refinement of financial reporting standards and enforcement mechanisms, and enables a more accurate assessment of the financial health and performance of companies in both industries. The research also endeavors to identify sector-specific factors influencing earnings management dynamics, with the aim of enhancing transparency and optimizing decision-making processes in the financial environment.

Published: May 2024

Abstract
Flooding in urban areas is increasingly becoming a global challenge, driven by extreme rainfall events and the vulnerability or resilience of affected regions. This urban flood disaster not only threatens societal security but also hampers economic development in cities. Satellite remote sensing technology has played a crucial role in all aspects of flood disaster management, including preparedness, prevention, and relief efforts. Space systems, with their advantageous perspective, have proven their ability to provide essential information and services for effective flood management.
This study focuses on creating flood hazard maps for Bengaluru’s urban district using an Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP)-based Multi-Criterion Decision Analysis (MCDA) and Geographic Information System (GIS) techniques. Factors such as rainfall, drainage networks, land use, groundwater levels, terrain elevation, slope, and soil type are considered. The AHP method assigns weights and ranks to each factor, and a weighted linear combination approach is used to merge basic maps into the final flood vulnerability map.

Published: May 2024

Abstract
The industrial and economic development has initiated the rapid growth of small and medium-sized towns in India. Rewari City, a part of the National Capital Region of India, is undergoing rapid urban expansion. This study analyzes the process of urban expansion in Rewari city, its effect on land use & land cover dynamics and landscape spatial patterns. The methodology of the study is reliant on open-source Landsat satellite data, GIS-based unsupervised classification, and spatial metrics analysis. The city expansion has been analyzed for a period of 31 years, from 1989 to 2020, and population growth has been studied since 1901. Within the study period, built-up area increased by 704%, with an annual expansion rate of 12.8 %. The other land cover classes, such as agriculture land, vegetation, barren land, and water bodies shrank in size over the years. Between 1989 and 2020, 69.4 % of the increase in built up area came at the expense of vegetation and agricultural land. It was also found that per capita land consumption rate increased significantly from 0.0024 to 0.0084, hinting towards dispersed and low-density development. Built-up land had a growth rate nearly 5 times higher than population, indicating urban sprawl. An evaluation of different landscape metrics revealed that the landscape of Rewari has lost land use diversity. The findings of this study offer information about the present state of urban growth. It also serves as a valuable resource for formulating comprehensive planning and development policies, ensuring the promotion of sustainable urban development.

Abstract
A lucrative and delicious nonclimacteric tropical fruit, rambutan, has disadvantages of inadequate fruiting, low yield, and inferior edibility at farm level that need to be addressed. Moreover, unstable tropical temperatures and humidity threaten poor fruit set and insufficient rambutan yields. Therefore, the study revealed the effectiveness of gibberellic acid (GA3) on fruit set and retention, fruit size and yield, shelf life, and postharvest properties of rambutan under these atmospheric conditions. GA3 at concentrations of 50, 100, 200, 300, 400, and 500 ppm, apart from the control (without GA3), was applied to panicles twice in the early flowering and the early fruiting stages (thirty days after the first spraying). The results showed that maximum fruit set (223.2 per panicle), retention (13.2 per panicle, 5.9%), and yield (714.0 g per panicle) were obtained by GA3 treatment at 300 ppm. In addition to increasing fruit size (54.1 g) and pulp weight (31.3 g), GA3 at a dose of 300 ppm significantly reduced seed weight by 27.5% and increased the edible portion by 26.6% compared to the control. Notably, preharvest GA3 treatment increased TSS content (19.0%), total sugar (4.5%), and shelf life (11.5 days), while it decreased titratable acidity (0.4%) of rambutan. GA3 doses from 200 to 500 ppm had similar effects in terms of affecting the edible properties and shelf life of rambutan. However, fruit set, retention, and yield exhibited distinct dose-dependent responses, with 300 ppm being the best and 200 ppm consistent with the best, with some differences. Regression analysis showed a skewed curve explaining higher yield and better fruit quality at the medium GA3 treatment level (250–350 ppm). In comparison, lower (< 200 ppm) and higher (> 400 ppm) doses resulted in worse results in most cases. Therefore, regulated use of GA3 is necessary to improve rambutan yield and fruit quality.

Published: May 2024

Abstract

Background and Objectives
Irbesartan has been widely used in the clinical treatment of diabetic kidney disease (DKD). However, the molecular mechanism of its delay of DKD disease progression has not been fully elucidated. The aim of the present study was to investigate the mechanism of irbesartan in the treatment of DKD.

Materials and Methods
C57BL/KsJ db/db mice were randomly divided into the model group and irbesartan-treated group. After treatment with irbesartan for 12 weeks, the effects on blood glucose, body weight, 24-h urinary albumin, and renal injuries were evaluated. Microarray was used to determine the differentially expressed genes (DEGs) in the renal cortex of mice. |Log FC| <0.5 and false discovery rate (FDR) <0.25 were set as the screening criteria. Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG), gene ontology (GO), protein–protein interaction (PPI) network and modules, and microRNA (miRNA)-DEGs network analysis were applied to analyze the DEGs. Furthermore, quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR) was used to validate the results of microarray.

Results
The present study demonstrated irbesartan could significantly improve the renal function in db/db mice through decreasing 24-h urinary albumin and alleviating the pathological injury of kidney. Irbesartan may affect the expression of numerous kidney genes involved in circadian rhythm, cell cycle, micoRNAs in cancer, and PI3K–AKT signaling pathway. In the miRNA-DEGs network, miR-1970, miR-703, miR-466f, miR-5135, and miR-132-3p were the potential targets for irbesartan treatment. The validation test confirmed that key genes regulating circadian rhythm (Arntl, Per3, and Dbp) and cell cycle (Prc1, Ccna2, and Ccnb2) were restored in db/db mice on treatment with Irbesartan.

Conclusion
Generally, irbesartan can effectively treat DKD by regulating the circadian rhythm and cell cycle. The DEGs and pathways identified in the study will provide new insights into the potential mechanisms of irbesartan in the treatment of DKD.

Introdução: Pesquisas comprovam que uma boa alimentação tem um papel fundamental no tratamento de doenças. Por outro lado, uma dieta inadequada é reconhecida como um importante fator de risco para várias doenças. Atualmente, é incentivado o consumo de alimentos in natura, assim como também é mostrado os benefícios da alimentação adequada. Alimentação saudável pode ser resumida em três princípios: variedade, moderação e equilíbrio. Praticar uma boa alimentação pode ser um desafio, sobretudo em comunidades mais carentes, como a maioria da população negra, uma vez que a baixa renda pode comprometer as escolhas alimentares, impactando diretamente na variedade e na qualidade nutricional.
Objetivo: Descrever o consumo alimentar habitual auto-referido da população negra do Recôncavo Baiano.
Método: Estudo realizado na Clínica Escola da Faculdade Adventista da Bahia, aprovado pelo Comitê de Ética da Faculdade Adventista da Bahia, conforme CAAE 45556221.4.0000.0042. Participaram do estudo 296 sujeitos, que atenderam aos seguintes critérios de inclusão: ser naturais e/ou que residem no Recôncavo Baiano a pelo menos dois anos, maiores de 18 anos e que tenham assinado o TCLE. Os dados foram coletados por meio de um questionário sobre questões alimentares e foram analisados no programa SPSS versão 20.0 e apresentados em forma de frequência simples e relativa.
Resultados (esperados/parciais): Dentre os 296 sujeitos participantes desta pesquisa, 247 indivíduos (83,4%) costumam realizar o café da manhã, 292 indivíduos (98,6%) costumam realizar o almoço, 257 indivíduos (86,8%) costumam realizar o jantar, cujas refeições tiveram os maiores percentuais de adesão. Quantos aos lanches, que também são orientados nos intervalos entre as principais refeições, percebe-se que, 82 indivíduos (27,7%) costumam realizar o lanche da manhã, 124 indivíduos (41,8%) costumam realizar o lanche da tarde, e 71 indivíduos(23,9%) costumam realizar a ceia, dentre eles, o lanche da tarde possui maior frequência. Os dados coletados apontam que 46 sujeitos (15,5%) realizam menos que três refeições diárias, indo contra o que o Ministério da saúde, através do Guia Alimentar para a População Brasileira, recomenda. Conforme o guia, são recomendadas pelo menos 3 refeições por dia, intercaladas com pequenos lanches. Para além de saber a quantidade de refeições praticadas, também são importantes estudos que mostrem a composição nutricional dessas refeições, de modo que a alimentação possa de fato ter um papel fundamental na saúde do indivíduo para a prevenção de doenças.
Descritores: Consumo Alimentar; população negra; refeições.
