Možnosti varstva oreha (Juglans spp.) pred orehovo muho (Rhagoletis completa Cresson, 1929 Diptera,: Tephritidae) s poudarkom na biotičnem zatiranju škodljivca
Authors: LAZNIK Žiga , TRDAN Stanislav 
Published: December 2023

Orehova muha (Rhagoletis completa) je gospodarsko pomembna sadna muha, ki napada različne vrste oreha (Juglans spp.). Žuželka izvira iz Severne Amerike, za najbolj učinkovito metodo lovljenja njenih odraslih osebkov pa velja trikotna rumena lepljiva plošča, skupaj z amonijevim karbonatom, ki deluje kot atraktant. V prispevku so predstavljeni bionomija, razširjenost, načini spremljanja in zatiranja orehove muhe, pri čemer je poseben poudarek namenjen biotičnemu zatiranju škodljivca. O slednjem je v strokovni literaturi relativno malo informacij, z njihovim upoštevanjem, upoštevanjem domače zakonodaje in našimi izkušnjami z razširjenostjo in učinkovitostjo različnih biotičnih agensov v Sloveniji, za biotično zatiranje orehove muhe predlagamo foliarni nanos entomopatogene glive Beauveria bassiana proti odraslim osebkom, jesensko talno aplikacijo entomopatogenih ogorčic proti ličinkam ter spomladansko talno aplikacijo entomopatogenih ogorčic proti odraslim osebkom v obdobju njihovega izleganja iz bub. Na območjih razširjenosti navadnega oreha pa bo potrebno v prihodnje načrtno spremljati zastopanost potencialnih domorodnih parazitoidov orehove muhe, saj na različnih koncih sveta prav nekatere predstavnike iz omenjene skupine naravnih sovražnikov (Coptera occidentalis, Diachasmimorpha juglandis) omenjajo kot dovolj ustrezne alternative sintetičnim insekticidom.

Abstract

Objectives
In Unani medicine, a comprehensive treatment plan has been delineated to deal with febrile illnesses using herbal drugs along with modified dietetics, which stands as a promising area of research. The present study was aimed at evaluating the antipyretic activity of the HAE of Artemisia absinthium L. whole plant as a standalone and as an adjuvant with barley water in an animal model of pyrexia to validate the age-old Unani principle of the treatment.

Methods
The pyrexia was induced in all the groups except the plain control using Brewer’s yeast. Group II did not receive any treatment, while group III received crocin, group IV received HAE of A. absinthium, group V administered Ma al-Sha’ir, and group VI was treated with the HAE of A. absinthium along with Ma al-Sha’ir by oral route. The rectal temperature of each rat was recorded at ‘0’ h, 30 min, 60 min, and 180 min.

Results
The mean rectal temperature of group III went down from 101.82±0.20 °F to 100.4±0.57 °F over the period of (0–180) minutes, whereas the mean temperature in group IV went down from 102.45±0.60 °F to 100.14±0.57 °F. The mean rectal temperature of group V decreased from 100.62±0.11 °F to 99.55±0.51 °F, while the mean rectal temperature of group VI went down from 101.95±0.1 °F to 97.7±0.11 °F.

Conclusions
It is concluded that the HAE of A. absinthium L. as a standalone and along with Ma al Sha’ir showed excellent antipyretic activity as compared to the standard drug in an animal model.
Operators that are Weakly Coercive and a Compact Perturbation
Authors: Soriano Arbizu José María , Cabrera Manuel Ordoñez 
Published: December 2023

ABSTRACT
Let X, Y be two Banach spaces over

K
=
ℝ

\[\mathbb{K}=\mathbb{R}\]

or

ℂ

\[\mathbb{C}\]

, and let f := F+C be a weakly coercive operator from X onto Y, where F is a Fredholm proper operator, and C is a C
1-compact operator. Sufficient conditions are provided to assert that the perturbed operator f is a C
1-diffeomorphism. When one of these conditions does not hold and instead y is a regular value, the equation f(x) = y has at most finite number of solutions. As a consequence of the main result two corollaries are given. A second theorem studies the finite dimensional case. As an application, one example is given. The proof of our results is based on properties of Fredholm operators, as well as on local and global inverse mapping theorems.
Weakly Einstein Equivalence in a Golden Space Form and Certain CR-submanifolds
Authors: Kim Jihun , Park Jeonghyeong , Şahin Bayram 
Published: December 2023

ABSTRACT
It is known that the Golden space form may not be an Einstein manifold. In this paper, it is shown that the condition to be Einstein for a Golden space form is equivalent to being weakly Einstein. In addition, the partial geodesic and cyclic parallelism of the CR-submanifolds of a Golden space are examined, and the case of the constant Golden sectional curvature is determined. Moreover, the CR-submanifolds with semi-flat normal connection are studied and an inequality is obtained. The equality case of this inequality is also checked. We also consider the totally umbilical CR-submanifold of Golden Riemannian manifolds and show that such submanifolds are totally geodesic under certain conditions. Furthermore, we obtain an inequality involving the scalar curvature of CR-submanifold and check the existence of extrinsic spheres in Golden space forms.
Performance of conventional and wiper CBN inserts under various cooling conditions in hard turning of AISI 52100 steel

Published: December 2023

Abstract
Cryogenic cooling and minimum quantity lubrication (MQL) are regarded as effective green manufacturing techniques since they eliminate the excessive utilization of conventional cutting fluids (CCFs) that are known to have adverse impacts on both the environment and human health. Moreover, these methods have promising effects on surface integrity in machining hard-to-cut materials. This study investigates the impact of hybrid and cryogenic lubri-cooling methods on surface integrity (surface roughness, microhardness, and residual stresses) in hard turning of AISI 52100 bearing steel (62 HRC) with conventional and wiper CBN inserts. For that purpose, a precooling-based hybrid (a combination of precryogenic cooling of the workpiece and MQL) and direct cryogenic cooling techniques were used for comparison during the hard turning tests. The tests were carried out at a constant cutting speed (200 m/min), feed (0.1 mm∙rev−1), and depth of cut (0.1 mm) under dry, carbon dioxide (CO2), liquid nitrogen (LN2), CO2 + MQL, and LN2 + MQL conditions. The results show that hybrid lubri-cooling condition (CO2 + MQL) improved the surface quality and increased the compressive residual stresses at the machined surface when wiper inserts were employed. On the other hand, effective cooling under direct CO2 condition provided better surface integrity when machining with conventional inserts.
A critical review of the quantification, analysis and detection of radionuclides in the environment using diffusive gradients in thin films (DGT): advances and perspectives
Authors: Pantoja Leonardo , Garelick Hemda 
Published: December 2023

Abstract
This critical review explores the quantification, analysis, and detection of radionuclides in the environment using the diffusive gradients in thin films (DGT) technique. Radionuclides, unstable isotopes emitting ionising radiation, are present in the environment due to natural and anthropogenic sources for which concerns are raised about their impact on human health and ecosystems. DGT offers a unique passive sampling approach for understanding the behaviour of radionuclides and other trace elements. This review provides insights into method development, real case scenarios, advantages, limitations, and future perspectives of DGT in radionuclide analysis. In terms of method development, various isotopes have been analysed with varying significance based on origin, concentration, risks, and persistence. Notably, U, Th, Pu, Am, Cm, 99Tc, 226Ra, 137Cs, 134Cs, 232U, 237Np, and 152Eu have been measured, revealing their diverse roles in environmental radioactivity. Real case scenarios illustrate applications in uranium mining, water quality monitoring, and metal speciation studies, shedding light on mobility, bioavailability, and ecological impacts. DGT’s advantages include in-situ monitoring, time-averaged mean concentrations, and comprehensive speciation insights. Challenges include potential influences from biofouling, temperature changes and specifically the possible degradation of the binding and diffuse layer due to ionising radiation in long term exposures. In addition, the distinction between fully labile free metal ions and partially labile metal-ligand complexes introduces a potential limitation in the DGT technique, hence being an opportunity for future studies. Looking forward, DGT is expected to contribute to radiation dose modelling, environmental risk assessment, and water quality monitoring, with ongoing developments enhancing its utility and accuracy.

Published: December 2023

Abstract
Large gas engines play a key role in energy supply and transport. Due to emission regulations and high fuel prices, engines achieving both high efficiency and low emissions are required. Development efforts to that effect have resulted in combustion methods relying on lean air-fuel mixtures as well as high ignition pressures. The conditions in the combustion chamber cause high wear on the spark plug electrodes. Conventional electrodes have a limited lifetime and they are expensive due to the use of precious metal alloys.
Compared with conventional materials, alternative ceramic electrode materials offer advantages in terms of high thermal stability, high oxidation and corrosion resistance, as well as lower material prices. Disadvantages include insufficient electrical conductivity, brittleness and the difficulty of joining them with metallic materials.
In this paper wear and oxidation behavior of selected materials are evaluated, using ceramographic methods. Microsections of the joining zone are used to analyse the change in the microstructure resulting from the bonding process. The results show the strengths, weaknesses and limitations of the selected ceramics as electrode materials, based on ceramographic methods, which helped essentially to understand the oxidation behavior, the bonding process and wear.
Metallographic preparation, contrasting, and examination of layers of scale on hot-rolled low-alloy steels
Authors: Mathe R. , Mirković D. 
Published: December 2023

Abstract
A clear characterization of layers of scale on hot-rolled steels does not only require a careful preparation of the samples but also a delineation of the individual scale phases.
In this work, it could be shown that etching using dilute hydrochloric acid improved the distinction of the individual oxide phases during the light microscope examination of layers of scale. Furthermore, metallurgical analyses provide valuable information on the quantitative composition as well as on the qualitative element distribution in the layer of scale thus also facilitating the distinction of the scale phases.

Published: December 2023

Abstract
The current study focused on examining the structural, mechanical, and optoelectronic properties of CuF, CuCl, CuBr, and CuI by the utilisation of the FP-LAPW method. The calculations reveal that GGA is a better fit than LDA for evaluating structural characteristics, including lattice parameters and bulk modulus. The examination of the band structure reveals that CuF exhibits metallic behaviour, whilst the compounds CuCl, CuBr, and CuI exhibit semiconducting properties, characterised by direct fundamental gaps (Γ → Γ) of 0.516, 0.425, and 1.049 eV, respectively. The peak absorption values for CuCl, CuBr, and CuI are located at 10.68 eV, 9.53 eV, and 7.68 eV, respectively. All materials have ultraviolet absorption peaks. Therefore, the compounds demonstrate substantial absorption in the low- and mid-ultraviolet wavelengths. The four compounds exhibit anisotropic properties, possess ductility, and demonstrate mechanical stability. These entities possess the ability to endure a wide range of temperatures. The thermoelectric performance of the three semiconductors, CuCl, CuBr, and CuI, was investigated. At 300 K, the k

L
values for CuBr, CuCl, and CuI, are 2.89 W/mK, 3.98 W/mK, and 3.56 W/mK, and the Gruneisen values are as follows: γ (CuCl) = 2.4087, γ (CuBr) = 2.4747, and γ (CuI) = 2.1962. At a temperature of 600 K, the k

T
value is found to be relatively low. The measured values for the k

T
of CuCl, CuBr, and CuI are around 1.7818 W m−1 K−1, 1.5109 W m−1 K−1, and 2.8580 W m−1 K−1, respectively. At a temperature of 300 K, the Seebeck coefficients (S) for CuCl, CuBr, and CuI are measured to be 1192.7964 μV/K, 1170.5882 μV/K, and −65.7454 μV/K, respectively. At a temperature of 800 K, the p-type compound CuBr exhibits a maximum figure of merit (ZT) value of 0.6691, corresponding to a charge carrier concentration of 31.7926 × 1020 cm3. The CuCl and CuI compounds exhibit the maximum ZT values of 0.52043 and 0.5609, respectively. In order to achieve the desired results, it is necessary to decrease the charge carrier concentration in CuCl to n = 0.514 × 1022 cm−3 and increase the charge carrier concentration in CuI to n = 9.686 × 1022 cm−3; alternatively, the chemical potentials should be decreased by 0.2563 Ryd and 0.3974 Ryd, respectively.
Occupational health in a post-pandemic world of work. Introduction to this special issue
Authors: Dörflinger Nadja , Tisch Anita 
Published: December 2023

Abstract
Although occupational safety and health (OSH) is a core element of social policy, OSH had rarely been in the focus of social policy research in the years preceding the Covid-19 pandemic. Therefore, this special issue brings together state-of-the-art theoretical and empirical insights underlining the connection between OSH and social policy. It contains articles from different academic disciplines dealing with the following broad topics: actors and institutions involved in OSH, OSH policies and measures, and social inequalities related to OSH. The special issue makes three contributions. First, it puts a traditional and highly relevant but under-researched topic back in the focus of attention. Second, it revives the debate by providing interdisciplinary insights on a number of key topics of relevance. Third, these insights have strong implications for policymaking; they are thus of high practical relevance and could contribute to enhancing the protection of workers in the post-pandemic labour market.

Ahogy a turizmus úgy a vendéglátás is egy dinamikusan fejlődő ágazat. A napjainkban végbemenő gazdasági, technológia, környezeti, társadalmi változásokra reagálnia kell a vállalkozásoknak is. Érzékelhető, hogy új fogyasztói szokások alakulnak az 21. századi ember életviteléhez igazodva. A fogyasztói döntéshozatal vendéglátásra gyakorolt hatása nagyon meghatározó. A folyamat mindkét oldalát vizsgálni kell, a fogyasztók oldalát éppen úgy mint a szolgáltatók oldalát. Napjainkban, a válságok megjelenésével egyre fontosabbá válik az, hogy a vásárlókat a gyártók és az értékesítők valamilyen formában magukhoz kössék, megnyerjék. Ennek érdekében a márka mellett valamilyen hozzáadott tényező szükséges a vásárlói lojalitás kialakítására. A fogyasztó döntését azonban nemcsak az egyén csoportban betöltött szerepe határozza meg, hanem azon belső tulajdonságok összessége is, melyek a fogyasztó ízlését, fogyasztói attitűdjét alakítják. A fogyasztást befolyásoló tényezők azonosítása lehetővé teszi a megfelelő marketingkommunikációs stratégia kialakítását az ágazati szereplők és szolgáltatók számára.

Published: December 2023

Background: Epidemiological studies have reported that dietary acid load is associated with psychological disorders through different pathways. We aimed to examine the association of dietary acid-base load with psychological disorders, sleep and circadian rhythm.
Methods: This study was performed on 404 female subjects aged 18 years and above. We evaluated potential renal acid load (PRAL) and net endogenous acid production (NEAP) score by a validated food frequency questionnaire (FFQ) for Iran which contained 147 items. To assess psychological disorders, an Iranian validated version of the depression, anxiety and stress scale (DASS-21) was used. The Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) and morning-evening questionnaire (MEQ) were applied to evaluate sleep quality and circadian rhythm status, respectively.
Results: After adjustment for a wide range of confounding variables, a significant positive association was observed between dietary acid-base load and severe depression (ORPRAL=1.10, 95% CI=1.01-1.19, p=0.02 and ORNEAP=2.46, 95% CI=1.41-14.61, p=0.02). Women in the high dietary acid base load category had higher anxiety (ORPRAL=1.12, 95% CI=1.02-1.23, p=0.01 and ORNEAP=1.80,95% CI=1.12-10.72, p=0.01). There was a strong positive relationship between dietary acid-base load and sleep disturbance (p<0.05). Additionally, circadian rhythm assessment showed that those with greater commitment to PRAL had 23% higher risk of being completely evening type, while the odds of being completely morning type were decreased by 15% and 12% across higher adherence to PRAL and NEAP.
Conclusion: Women with higher dietary acid-base load score had greater odds for depression, anxiety, psychological distress, sleep disturbance and evening-type circadian rhythm compared to lower ones.

Summary
We report a 61-year-old male patient without personal history of thyroid carcinoma or radiation exposure. In 2011, he presented with a cervical mass whose biopsy diagnosed a papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC) in a lymph node metastasis (LNM). Total thyroidectomy with lymphadenectomy of central and ipsilateral compartment was performed. Histopathology identified a 2 mm follicular variant of PTC and LNM in 25/25 lymph nodes. The patient was treated with 150 mCi of radioactive iodine (RAI), followed by levothyroxine suppressive therapy. In 2016, a retrotracheal mass was diagnosed, suggesting local recurrence; patient was submitted to surgical excision and RAI therapy (120 mCi). Due to seizures, in 2019, a brain CT was performed that diagnosed brain metastases. The patient underwent debulking of the main lesion. Histopathology analysis confirmed a metastatic lesion with variated morphology: classical PTC and follicular pattern and hobnail and tall cell features. Molecular analysis revealed BRAFV600E in LNM at presentation and BRAFV600E and TERT promoter (TERTp) mutations in the recurrent LNM and brain metastasis. Based upon this experience we review the reported cases of subcentimetric PTC with brain metastases and discuss the molecular progression of the present case.

Learning points

Papillary microcarcinoma (PMCs) usually have very good prognosis with low impact on patient survival.

PMCs presenting in elderly patients with LNM at diagnosis may carry a guarded outcome.

Brain metastasis although rare indicate aggressive phenotypic features.

Patient risk stratification of PMCs based on histopathological analysis and genetic testing may have a significant impact on prognosis providing therapeutic markers, that may predict disease progression and overall outcome.
Letters from the Past: Justinas Marcinkevičius’ Letters to His Teacher Genovaitė Andrašiūnienė
Authors: Bandoriūtė-Leikienė Salomėja 
Published: December 2023

Nowadays, the long-standing communication by letters has changed a lot. A couple of decades ago, writing letters to another city, country or simply to someone who lives further away was a completely normal activity. Today, paper letters are usually only documents or postcards. Thus, it is interesting and meaningful to study letters as a disappearing form of communication. Researching letters is interesting for representatives of various branches of science. Investigating ego documents, especially letters, gives us an opportunity to find out more about the past communication, sender and receiver of the letter and the general discourse of the researched period. Reading letters, especially letters written by famous public figures, is interesting not only for the scientists, but also for the regular readers. Furthermore, it justifies the taboo set by social norms – prohibited reading of stranger’s letters.
The subject of this article are the letters of the Lithuanian poet Justinas Marcinkevičius to his teacher Andrašiūnienė, written in 1949–1961, after leaving Prienai to study at Vilnius University. Andrašiūnienė was a famous intelligent of Prienai district, a teacher of the Lithuanian language, who financially and morally supported her talented students, including famous poet Marcinkevičius and linguist Jonas Kazlauskas. The leads of the existence of these letters circulated among the people of Prienai for many years, until a few years ago they accidentally came into poet’s family hands (Marcinkevičius himself did not know about the existence of these letters). There are 44 letters of Marcinkevičius to teacher Andrašiūnienė, which were written while he was studying at Vilnius University. 43 letters are perfectly preserved, but one is no longer legible, because a third of the text is damaged.
The research of the letters reveals a close relationship between young poet Marcinkevičius and his teacher: a son-mother relationship. Marcinkevičius’ choice to call the teacher mother, mommy, confirms the fact that he is missing for mother’s care and attention (he lost his real mother in his early adolescence). Andrašiūnienė was not only a financial supporter, guardian, but also the first critic of the young poet’s writing. This critique significantly formed poets’ personality.
The young poet’s letters reveal his talent for writing: the texts are fluent and literary. Also, there are a lot of stories about his achievements and creative downfalls. Marcinkevičius is carefully writing about his negative position towards the ideology of the time. It is interesting to read letters where Marcinkevičius is arguing and getting angry with his teacher. These letters reveal the rebellious side of the poet, which is completely unexpected. The opportunity to look at Marcinkevičius’ youth by reading his letters deepens the knowledge of the change of the poet’s work and the formation of his personality.
