The Influence of Pre-Treatment, Preservation Method, and Storage Time on Carotenoid and Chlorophyll Profile in Nettle Juices and its Relation to Colour Changes
Authors: Bernaś Emilia , Fiutak Grzegorz 
Published: January 2024

Abstract
One of the most valuable health-promoting plants used in the production of functional, green drinks is nettle. Acidic environments, oxygen, high temperature, and enzymes can negatively affect the colour of green juices, which is an important aspect for consumers. Therefore, the study analyzed the effect of pre-treatment, preservation method (freeze-drying, freezing, sterilization), and storage on the profile of carotenoids and chlorophylls (HPLC) in nettles juices and its correlation with colour changes (CIELAB). All the examined parameters impacted the profile of both groups of compounds and their colour. The most significant unfavorable changes were observed after sterilization. Blanching positively affected the level of coloured compounds in canned juices, with a greater enhancement being observed after a longer pre-treatment time (90 s). After storage, in frozen and freeze-dried juices, and similarly in unpreserved juices, lutein, violaxanthin and chlorophyll a predominated. However, in sterilized juices, neoxanthin and violaxanthin were completely degraded, and β-carotene and chlorophyll b were found at a significant level. During the storage of canned and frozen products, chlorophyll a was degraded to a greater extent, while in lyophilizates chlorophyll b. The transformation of neoxanthin, violaxanthin and chlorophyll a in nettle juices was determined via analysis of a* colour parameter.

Authors: Tarko Tomasz , Krzysztof Natalia , Duda-Chodak Aleksandra 
Published: January 2024

Abstract
This study investigated the effect of the oak chips added at different dosages and stages of apple wine production on its oenological, antioxidant and sensory properties. In the study, medium-toasted or heavily-toasted oak chips (at a concentration of 3 or 6 g/L) and ethanol extracts prepared from them (at a dose of 1 or 2 mL/100 mL) were used. Basic oenological parameters (OIV), total polyphenol content (Folin-Ciocalteu method), antioxidant activity (ABTS assay), color (CIELAB) and organoleptic assessment of the wine were evaluated. Although the use of chips had no significant effect on the ethanol content and wine extract, it caused a significant change in volatile acidity. Furthermore, the antioxidant activity of the wines correlated closely with the concentration of polyphenolic compounds and these parameters were significantly higher after contact with medium-toasted chips. The apple wines had high values of lightness and yellow color, and the addition of chips did not significantly affect the color parameters (CIELAB). In the sensory assessment, the control wine (without chips) received the lowest scores, while significantly higher scores were given to the wine with the addition of 6 g/L of heavily-toasted chips, which was characterized by intense smoky, toasty, woody and vanilla notes.

Published: January 2024

Abstract
This in silico study has been designed to validate ethnomedicinal properties of some Himalayan fermented ethnic beverages against varied high-altitude sicknesses. Traditional beverages like tongba, chhyang, nigar and finger-millet raksi (supplemented with ethnomedicines like khokim and chimphing) were considered in this study which were sampled from villages situated in Singalila Ridge of the Himalayas. Seven major metabolites such as ethyl alpha-D-glucopyranoside; meranzin; auraptene; cis-vaccenic acid; cyclo(pro-gly); cyclo(leu-pro); and 2,3-dihydro-3,5-dihydroxy-6-methyl-4H-pyran-4-one were investigated in silico to provide insights to their efficiency in alleviating major altitude illnesses (pulmonary edema and hypoxia); high-altitude respiratory infections; pain or inflammation; cardiovascular problems; gastrointestinal diseases and disorders; and high-altitude neurological diseases and disorders. Computational tools such as Molinspiration Chemoinformatics, SwissADME, Molsoft program and vNN-ADMET were employed to evaluate physicochemical properties, pharmacokinetics and ADMET parameters. Binding affinities were computed using Auto Dock Tools. In silico pharmacokinetics and ADMET revealed bioactivity potentials of selected metabolites which are associated to treat high-altitude sickness. A total of 175 combinations of receptor-ligand docking interactions were considered out of which 141 combinations exhibited a binding energy score of ≤ -5 and 29 combinations scored ≤ -7. Outcome of this computational research affirm the effectiveness of high-altitude’s traditional drinks in healing high-altitudinal stresses.

Authors: Buczek Jan , Belcar Justyna , Gawęda Dorota , Gorzelany Józef 
Published: January 2024

Abstract
Wheat grain has health-promoting properties that are related to the content of phenolic acids in its composition, among which ferulic acid, syringic acid, p-coumaric acid and vanillic acid predominate acting as potent natural antioxidants. The study evaluated the phenolic acid (PA) content and grain yield of hybrid wheat genotypes (Hyland, Hywin) compared to the common variety (Patras), grown under an integrated system at two nitrogen rates of 60 (N60) and 120 (N120) kg·ha−1, under varying hydrothermal conditions during three growing seasons. The effects of genotype, cultivar and the interaction of cultivar and hydrothermal conditions on the phenolic acid profile, except for synapic acid, phydroxybenzoic acid and salicylic acid, and grain yield were confirmed in favour of the hybrid cultivars. The concentration of total phenolic acids (TPAs) and ferulic acid in the grain of the hybrid cultivar Hyland was higher and, in addition, greater yield stability of this cultivar under varying hydrothermal conditions was shown in the analysed years of the study. The grain of the common variety Patras was characterised by advanced content of p-hydroxybenzoic acid, and that of the hybrid variety Hywin by p-coumaric, caffeic and syringic acids. Higher TPAs content and lower grain yield of the varieties were observed in the 2018/2019 drought season. Higher nitrogen fertilisation (N120) compared to N60 significantly increased TPAs content and grain yield of Hyland and Hywin hybrid varieties. Fertilisation with N120 compared to N60 increased TPAs content by 4.2% and promoted higher concentrations of ferulic and syringic acids in the wheat cultivars tested.
Comparative analysis of a POPC bilayer and a DPC micelle comprising an interfacial anchored peptide using all-atom MD simulations

Published: January 2024

Abstract
Biological membranes are complex systems due to their composition and dynamics. Therefore, membrane mimetics are widely used to investigate lipid properties and interactions between molecules and membrane lipids. Using all-atom molecular dynamics simulations, within this study two systems composed of different membrane mimetics are compared: a 1-palmitoyl-2-oleoyl-3-glycero-phosphatidylcholine (POPC) bilayer or a dodecylphosphocholine (DPC) micelle and a nonapeptide (V94-T-K-Y-W-F-Y-R-L102). Previous 1H-NMR experiments have demonstrated that, in the presence of DPC micelles, this peptide folds as a stable amphipathic helix located in the polar head group region with the tryptophan residue pointing toward the inside of the micelle. The present comparison reveals a hydrophobic surface twice as large for the micelle as for the bilayer and a different arrangement of the acyl chains. The peptide secondary structure is not strongly affected by the membrane mimetics whereas the peptide is more deeply inserted in the bilayer than in the micelle. The contacts between the peptide and the DPC or POPC molecules are analysed and although the distances and lifetimes of these contacts are very different in the micelle and the bilayer, similar specific interactions were found that mainly involved the side chains of the residues R101 and L102.

Published: January 2024

Abstract
Radioactive aerosols in the confined workplace are a major source of internal exposure hazards for workers. Cloud-type radioactive aerosol elimination system (CRAES) have great potential for radioactive aerosol capture due to their high adsorption capacity, lack of cartridges and less secondary contamination. A CRAES was designed and constructed, and a FeOOH/rGO composite was directly prepared by a hydro-thermal method to characterise and analyse its morphology, chemical structure and removal efficiency for simulated radioactive aerosols. The results show that the FeOOH/rGO composite works in synergy with the CRAES to effectively improve the removal efficiency of simulated radioactive aerosols. A 30-minute simulated radioactive aerosol removal rate of 94.52% was achieved when using the experimentally optimized composite inhibitor amount of 2 mg/L FeOOH/rGO with 0.2 g/L PVA as a surfactant. Therefore, the CRAES coupled with the composite inhibitor FeOOH/rGO has broad application potential for the synergistic treatment of radioactive aerosols.
Numerical simulation and improvement of combustor structure in 3D printed sand recycling system
Authors: Gao Xiao , Lei Mao , Xu Weiwei 
Published: January 2024

Abstract
In this paper, a new combustor with an output of 5 t/h is designed based on a computational particle fluid dynamics (CPFD) model. The flow field simulation is combined with the combustion simulation to analyze the internal two-phase flow, temperature field, and combustion products. The combustor structure was optimized. The simulation results show that the recovery efficiency of the waste sand and the energy utilization of the combustor can be improved under the original structure. The sand bed has a significant effect on flow field characteristics. The increase in particle temperature in the combustor increases the efficiency of waste sand recovery by increasing the height of the sand bed by 50 mm. The utilization rate of natural gas is increased and the economic efficiency is improved. The feasibility of the CPFD method can simulate the flow field characteristics inside the combustor very effectively.
Adsorption behaviour of polar solvent and water vapours on Sorbonorit B4 activated carbon
Authors: Downarowicz Dorota , Gabruś Elżbieta 
Published: January 2024

Abstract
In this work, the affinity of the heterogeneous Sorbonorit B4 (SB4) activated carbon toward methyl ethyl ketone (MEK), isopropyl alcohol (IPA), n-propyl alcohol (NPA) and isobutyl alcohol (IBA), and water vapours was examined. Adsorption equilibrium measurements demonstrate a higher adsorption capacity of water vapour than organic compounds at relative pressures above 0.4. The adsorption capacities of SB4 at the same vapor pressure followed the order: NPA> IPA> MEK> IBA. The Langmuir, Dubinin-Radushkevich, Dubinin-Astakhov, and Toth isotherm models were chosen to describe experimental results. Based on the multi-temperature isotherms, the values of the isosteric heat of adsorption were determined for various adsorbate loading. The results indicate a strong influence of VOC molecule structures and the surface heterogeneity of SB4 on the adsorption efficiency. For IPA-SB4 pair, the maximum temperature rise in a fixed-bed bed in the adsorption process and the energy requirement for regeneration were calculated and experimentally verified.

Published: January 2024

Abstract
In the study, the influence of distillation time as well as distillation apparatus on the chemical composition and quality of lavender (Lavandula angustifolia Mill.) essential oil were investigated. Two different types of distillation apparatuses: Deryng (popular in Poland) and Clevenger-type (recommended by European Pharmacopoeia) were used for the isolation of the essential oil from dried lavender flowers (Lavandulae flos). Moreover, different distillation times (2, 3 and 4 hours) were also applied. The chemical composition of the isolated oils, determined by gas chromatography coupled with mass spectrometry (GC-MS), revealed the dominance of linalool (11.55–17.19%) and linalyl acetate (12.84–16.78%) in the all analyzed samples. Other important constituents were: caryophyllene oxide (5.66–7.35%), lavandulyl acetate (4.64–5.40%) and borneol (4.62–5.51%). On the basis of the obtained data it was proved that the distillation time and distillation apparatus affect the amounts of some constituents in the lavender oil.

Authors: Barbary Mahmoud Magdy 
Published: January 2024

Abstract
Health care sector is one of the most important sectors that affect the economies of all countries. On the one hand, it affects the productivity of labor force, on the other hand, it affects the spending of the households and the allocation of income among the various aspects of spending. In addition, the case of Egypt is characterized by some peculiarity in terms of The large population and the existence of a development gap between the cities of the north and the cities of the south, and the volume of out of pocket expenditure on health care which exceeds its counterpart in most countries of the world. In addition, health care service providers in Egypt are represented in the public sector, the private sector and the cooperative or community sector, where the three sectors provide health care services with different quality and prices. Therefore, this study aimed to identify the determinants of health care expenditure in Egypt through an econometric model. The results showed that spending on health care in Egypt was affected by percapita GDP and population over 65 years old while the econometric model shows no significance for variables such as hospital beds and number of medical doctors.
An Empirical Study on the Needed Employability Skills in Post-Pandemic
Authors: Chan Raksmey 
Published: January 2024

Abstract
A problem of skill mismatch has long been a global issue. The same is true for an emerging market like Cambodia where a large number of youths enter the job market every year. This study aims to investigate the most important employability skills in post pandemic viewed by students, employees and employers. The study also explores the needed skills at private, public and non-profit sectors, and the preparation of students on those competencies for making a comparison and synthesis. To fulfil the earlier objectives, the study applies survey questionnaires and in-depth interviews with 109 participants and 6 interviewees respectively. The findings demonstrate that Being professionally ethical, Being committed to work, and Technology Use are the three main employability skills demanded in the market. However, specific institutions may prefer other skills according to the nature of their work. The study also demonstrates that students possess a few limitations, namely Adaptability to change, Communication, Commitment to work and Advanced digital skills. These weaknesses would be a key message to students and other stakeholders to reconceptualize their current practice to fulfil the gaps.

Published: January 2024

Abstract
The promotion of entrepreneurship is a priority objective for the European Union. Each country develops the most appropriate instruments for its economic structure; however, its effects are different depending on the conditions of its environment. The objective of this work is to study whether there are significant differences among European countries depending on whether or not they belong to the Eurozone. A panel data regression model is used to assess the contribution of the different policies to the rate of entrepreneurial activity. The results show that the experts’ evaluations of the implemented policies are higher in the member states of the monetary union. Policies with a negative impact are recurring demands from employers (bureaucracy, tax barriers, improve physical infrastructure).

Published: January 2024

Abstract
We have studied the historical and current distribution of brown trout, European grayling, and Volga nase in the Republic of Tatarstan. The influence of environmental variables on the current distribution of these fish was assessed using regression methods. The probability of occurrence in small rivers of all three fish species is currently low, ranging from 2.8 to 5.3%. Each of the recorded environmental variables had statistically significant relationships with presence/absence of at least one fish species, but only two variables (elevation and human impact) significantly affected the probability of occurrence of all species in the study.

Published: January 2024

Abstract

Romanogobio banaticus it is a species of conservation interest with a small distribution range in the south-west of the Romanian Carpathians basin. In spite of the presence of some moderate anthropogenic threats and risks, the Nera River is a sanctuary for this fish. The lower latitude of Nera in comparison with other rivers where this fish is living, explain its presence in an atypical ichthyological zone. This species presence is permanent, the abundance is relatively high, the age structure is well balanced, more than that, in some sectors is a co-dominant species, all of these revealing a favourable conservation status.
