Published: December 2023

Publishing the findings of scientific research in reputable scientific publications affects the rate of knowledge dissemination. At the same time, most Belarusian scientific journals has been revising their publishing concept to meet the criteria set by citation indexes.The paper aim is to determine the status of the Belarusian scientific periodicals in the conditions of the developing model of electronic scientific communication in the post-Soviet states.At the first stage, the stream of publications by Belarusian researchers was identified, and the positive dynamics in 2011 to 2021 was recorded. Documents were analyzed by type and thematic categories. At the second stage, the list of Belarusian scientific journals was analyzed for their indexation in the science citation databases, the availability of the periodical website, the positive dynamics of the titles on the List of scientific publications for publishing the findings of dissertations recommended by the Higher Attestation Commission of Republic of Belarus (List of publications of the Higher Attestation Commission), etc.Based on the analysis, it was revealed that Belarusian scientific journals are widely represented in the Russian Science Citation Index (RSCI); at the same time, there is a certain “stagnation” in their entering the international citation indices – Scopus or Web of Science. The authors emphasize the challenge of Belarusian scientific periodicals insufficient presence in the Internet, and of the absent websites of some periodicals.

Published: December 2023

Purpose: Imbalances in sodium result in acute neurologic symptoms such as seizures and impaired mental status. Studies investigating the long-term consequences of hypernatremia on cognitive, motor, and language development in children are limited. The aim of this study was to assess the long-term impact of hypernatremia on children’s cognitive, motor, and language development.
Methodology:It was an observational study conducted from March 2016 to March 2017 in Dhaka Hospital of icddr,b. In this study,211 children with acute watery diarrhea accompanied with hypernatremia (serum sodium level 150 mmol/L) who had already been enrolled in a previous observational study were prospectively followed for one year.The objective was to investigate if there are any long term neurologic and developmental consequences of hypernatremia in those children. Physical, cognitive, motor, and language development as well as expressive or receptive expression of the children were assessed using a standard tool at the time of discharge (Baseline) and 12 months after discharge (End line). We also assessed IQ in a subgroup of children > 36 months (n=57) using the Wechsler Preschool and Primary Scale of Intelligence in parallel.
Results: Among the 211 participants, developmental assessment on motor, cognitive, and language development test was done on 140 (66.3%) children. The mean age of the children at the time of discharge from the hospital (baseline) was 7.9±4.5 months. Compared to mild (serum Na 150 mmol/L to less than 160 mmol/L), and moderately (serum Na 160 mmol/L to 169 mmol/L) hypernatremia, children with severe hypernatremia (serum sodium >170mmol/L) significantly had lower mean scores on the motor, fine motor, and language development score at baseline after adjusting age and weight for the age z score. Although there was an improvement in motor, language, and socioemotional scores, significant improvement was only observed with cognitive function at the end line (p=0.002). In Mmultiple regression after adjusting for potential confounders such as levels of hypernatremia, parents’ education, age of the child, and WAZ, these factors were showed significantly associated with the cognitive function of children. There was no difference in mean IQ level performed at the end-line among the children with different level of hypernatremia (mild, moderate or severe).
Conclusion: Children with hypernatremia had poor developmental scores in cognitive, motor, language, and socio-emotional domains at the time of recovery from hypernatremia. However, other than cognitive score, there was no significant improvement in motor or language development at 12 months in children recovering from hypernatremia. Further studies are therefore warranted to reveal any association of motor or language deficit with neurological deficit in those children beyond 12 months.

Published: December 2023

The widespread consumption of milk for its nutritional value and health benefits brings the risk of milk-borne diseases due to the presence of various microorganisms, including antibiotic-resistant pathogens. This has led to an increased focus on ensuring the safety of milk products across the supply chain by dairy industries. The study aimed to evaluate microbiological parameters and detect multi-antibiotic-resistant pathogens at three specific supply points and to explore the association between the presence of residual antibiotics and the resistant isolates in milk samples. About 50 milk samples, including raw, soon-after-processed, packaged marketed pasteurized, and UHT milk, were subjected to microbiological analysis. This involved assessing the total bacterial count (TBC) and total coliform count (TCC), conducting antibiotic susceptibility tests through disk and well diffusion assays, detecting virulence genes in multi-antibiotic resistant isolates using gene-specific PCR, and analyzing residual antibiotics by HPLC. The study revealed that the quality of raw milk samples was unacceptable (TBC >4.5x107 CFU/mL and TCC >5.6x104 CFU/mL), while pasteurized samples from processing plants had lower counts than those from retail stores (TBC >5x105 CFU/mL and TCC >1.6x104 CFU/mL) indicating post-pasteurization contamination. About 70.37% of the isolates were Gram-negative, with Escherichia coli (21.4%) and Vibrio (18.8%) being the most prevalent. Resistance to antibiotics was substantial, particularly against ampicillin (86.3%), tetracycline (76%), and ciprofloxacin (58.9%). Gene-specific PCR analysis detected uidA, oprL, and oprI virulence genes in multi-drug-resistant Escherichia coli and Pseudomonas sp. respectively. The study also revealed a direct association between the presence of residual antibiotics and the resistant isolates, emphasizing the need for dairy industry improvements. As high bacterial counts in milk can pose health risks by fostering antibiotic-resistant pathogens, it is essential to mitigate microbiological contamination in the milk supply chain through the implementation of various precautionary measures.

Published: December 2023

Adenophora remotiflora is a wild perennial plant used as oriental medicine and ornamental flowers in East Asia. The haploid genome size of A. remotiflora was estimated at 3.9 Gb with a 2.42% heterozygosity ratio. The chloroplast genome of 174,455 base pairs (bp) shows a circular map structure, and has four conserved regions consisting of a large single-copy region of 108,423 bp, a small single-copy region of 10,444 bp, and a pair of inverted repeats (each 27,794 bp). A total of 108 unique genes were annotated, comprising 74 protein-coding genes, 4 ribosomal RNA genes, and 30 transfer RNA genes. A total of 155 repeat sequences were identified, and comparative genome structures were characterized among the Adenophora species. Phylogenetic diversity showed that A. remotiflora is in a close position within the Adenophora genus, and Adenophora erecta is in the closest evolutionary position.

Published: December 2023

Enterotoxigenic Clostridium perfringens is one of the main causes of foodborne illness in Canada. The use of a conventional bacterial culture approach to isolate enterotoxigenic C. perfringens from poultry meat is common. This approach is based on the phenotype attributable to a double hemolysis phenomenon, whereas few enterotoxigenic strains of C. perfringens produce it, which further complicates the study of the reservoirs of this important pathogen. The objectives of the current study were to validate the ability of a digoxigenin-labeled probe to detect the C. perfringens cpe gene and to validate the use of either a filtration or a direct plating approach, combined with colony hybridization to detect enterotoxigenic C. perfringens. Pure DNA and pure colonies of enterotoxigenic C. perfringens and broiler chicken carcass rinsate samples were subjected to colony hybridization. The results showed that the synthesized DNA probe can detect the cpe gene from both DNA and pure colonies of enterotoxigenic C. perfringens, and from colonies grown from carcass rinsates artificially contaminated with enterotoxigenic C. perfringens. Our study suggests that this isolation method is a promising tool for a better understanding of the epidemiology of this zoonotic pathogen.

Published: December 2023

Soil fertility in arid to semi-arid regions is constrained by extreme temperature fluctuations. Soils of such regions typically have low fertility levels, nitrogen (N) availability (due to ammonia volatilization and denitrification), and soil organic carbon (SOC) content. An incubation experiment was conducted to assess how a peanut-waste biochar (PB), produced at 300°C, influences the mineral N and chemical properties of an alkaline soil. The treatments included five PB rates (control, 5, 10, 15, and 20g PB kg−1 soil) and two fertilizer rates [no fertilization without additions of N and phosphorus (P) and fertilization with addition of 120kg N ha−1 and 90kg P ha−1]. The soil was incubated for various durations (0, 14, 28, 42, and 56days). There were significant temporal shifts in the mineral form of N in the incubated soil. Following 56days of incubation under fertilization, the treatment with 20g kg−1 PB revealed soil nitrate-N and ammonium-N levels of 15.8mg kg‒1 and 21.1mg kg‒1, respectively. With no fertilization, 20g kg−1 PB increased mineral N by 2.3-fold over the treatment without PB. This increase was 2.6-fold with fertilization. After 56days of incubation, in the presence of 20g kg−1 PB, there was a 19% increase in cation exchange capacity under fertilization and a 21% increase under no fertilization, compared to the respective treatments without PB. Immediately after the PB application, SOC was significantly increased, corresponding to PB rates. However, substantial increases were observed only in treatments with 15 and 20g PB kg−1 soil. In conclusion, the addition of 15 and 20g PB kg−1 to alkaline soil significantly increased N availability in soil, demonstrating the importance of biochar for N management in agricultural soils.

A segmentação do mercado, com base em fatores demográficos isolados, frequentemente falha em capturar as expectativas dos consumidores. Assim, o objetivo deste estudo foi estabelecer quais valores e benefícios mais influenciam a aceitação de um alimento inovador. O pão de queijo, um “snack” brasileiro tradicional e popular, foi experimentado um processo de desenvolvimento como novo produto. Isto resultou na substituição de 40% do conteúdo de queijo da receita por cenoura, conforme as tendências atuais em saúde e sustentabilidade. Uma amostragem com 2.158 respondentes foi testada, aplicando-se a escala de neofobia alimentar. Análises de fatores exploratórios e de agrupamento foram aplicadas para identificar segmentos distintos de consumidores que representariam os valores de atributos e benefícios melhor avaliados de um produto inovador. Identificaram-se quatro segmentos, conforme a seguir: hedônico (mulheres de meia idade, de renda média e que valorizam sabor); conveniência e saúde (mulheres jovens interessadas em soluções rápidas); inovação (homens e mulheres de meia idade, com alto nível de educação e baixa tendência à neofobia); e funcional (homens jovens com alto nível de neofobia). Sabor, conveniência e saúde foram os determinantes de intenção que mais influenciaram a segmentação de mercado quanto a este produto inovador. A percepção quanto aos benefícios do produto pode reduzir a rejeição a este alimento inovador. Os resultados contribuem para preencher uma lacuna na literatura quanto a ‘benefícios desejáveis’, particularmente como base para a segmentação a ser aplicada a um produto inovador inovador em um mercado emergente.
Relevance of the Use of Fish Protein Hydrolysates in Food Technology
Authors: Yugay Alevtina V. 
Published: December 2023

Introduction. The problem of protein deficiency has become especially acute in recent years due to the fact that the increase in population causes an increase in the catch of marine biological resources. An irrational approach to the development of valuable protein raw materials leads to the formation of a large amount of waste and waste against the background of the lack of demand for non-commercial fish species, for example, gobies or sculpins. The article presents data on the relevance of the use of fish protein hydrolysates (RPH) obtained from secondary raw materials, current problems in the fish processing industry, provides information on the properties of RPH, and shows the possibility of their use in the food industry. Hydrolysates exhibit various functional properties, which expands the horizons of their practical application; therefore, the need for complex processing of raw materials can be partially realized. The article provides scientific evidence of the need for further research on hydrolysates obtained under the influence of enzymes of various origins.Purpose. To analyze modern scientific literature, to show the relevance of the use of fish hydrolysates in food technology and the prospects of research in this direction.Materials and Methods. Based on the study of modern domestic and foreign scientific data, a theoretical, systematic and comparative analysis of existing developments in the field of food use of RBG was carried out. The search for foreign scientific works was carried out in bibliographic databases indexed by Google Scholar, Scopus, ResearchGate, Elsevier, MDPI, and the Science Direct system using keywords.Results. Scientific research in the field of obtaining sources of essential amino acids and complete proteins has been going on for quite a long time. In the early 60s of the last century, fish hydrolysates were considered exclusively as an additive to animal feed or raw materials for the production of fish oil. It has now been established that fish hydrolysates, depending on the molecular weight of the peptides, can exhibit various functional properties, have a positive effect on the treatment of diabetes, reduce stress levels, improve the taste of the finished product, be used as emulsifiers and foaming agents, and increase biological and nutritional value. Many patterns of manifestation of the biological properties of hydrolysates have not been fully studied, so further research in this direction is relevant and promising.
