Published: March 2022

Abstract
Infants experience rapid growth and development during their first year of life. The objective of the study was to investigate the early dietary habits of Latvian infants and their relation to iron metabolism. The study was composed of Study A “Research on eating habits of infants living in Latvia” (n = 344) and Study B “Research on the association between eating habits of infants living in Latvia and iron metabolism” (n = 73). 89% of infants (n = 18) were breastfed (BF) in the first month, and 21% (n =15) were exclusively BF for the first six months. The average age for introducing complementary food was five months. Iron intake was on average 7.4 mg. Iron deficiency (ID) was in 9.6% (n = 7) and iron deficiency anemia (IDA) in 4.1% (n = 3) of infants. The blood iron level was lower in 30% (n = 8) of infants fed with cow’s milk. For infants who obtained iron predominantly from non-animal products, serum ferritin (SF) was within normal range. SF was within the normal range for 93% (n = 26) of infants who did not consume legumes. Dietary habits of infants in Latvia partly correspond to the guidelines. 63% of infants did not consume enough iron from food and ID was observed in 9.6% of infants and IDA in 4.1%. A lower iron level in blood occurred in breastfed infants and in infants for whom cow’s milk was introduced at an early stage; a lower mean corpuscular volume level was observed in infants whose exclusive breast-feeding continued for at least the first four months; lower SF occurred in breastfed infants, in at least the first four months for exclusively breastfed infants, and in infants for whom whose legumes had been introduced in diet. A higher level of soluble transferrin receptors was observed in infants who were not first-born.

Abstract
Nowadays available products for enteral nutrition are supplemented with synthetic ingredients. The effectiveness of these products is undeniable in the medical industry, but there is concern about bioavailability of synthetic vitamin and mineral compounds in comparison to naturally occurring ones. The aim of this study was to create plant-based formulations for enteral tube feed and to determine their bioactive compound and mineral compound concentration in comparison with the values recommended by the European regulations for special medical purpose food that is not meant to satisfy the nutritional requirements of infants. For this study, five enteral tube feed formulas were made from fruit, berry, and vegetable semi-finished products with added whey protein isolate, canola oil, cod liver oil, iodised salt, and ascorbic acid. The samples were thermally processed and concentration of vitamin C, total carotenes, total phenols and mineral compounds: P, K, Na, Ca, Mg, Fe, Mn, Zn, Cu and Se was determined. All samples showed < 20 mg·kg−1 per sample of Se, and also concentration of Zn was under the (EU) 2016/128 requirements. However, concentration of Mg (345.2 to 420 mg·100 kcal−1 of product) and K (29.2 to 39.2 mg·100 kcal−1 of product) exceeded the maximum levels. Also, the concentration of vitamin C exceeded the maximum, by average two times per sample, as L-ascorbic acid was added in response to previous experiments showing unsatisfying levels.

Published: March 2022

Abstract
In the production of fermented cabbage, cell juice of cabbage is released, which is highly saturated in biologically active compounds, but is considered as a by-product. The aim of this study was to evaluate the quality parameters of dehydrated fermented cabbage juice using maltodextrin as a coating agent at various concentrations. In this experiment, fermented cabbage juice was used — spray dried on a horizontal spray-dryer and maltodextrin, in different concentrations (0; 5; 10%). Physical (water activity, solubility, salt content, and moisture), chemical (total phenolic concentration, antiradical activity, and organic and titratable acid concentration) and microbiological (total plate count and lactic acid bacteria) analyses were carried out. The major acids identified were oxalic, quinic, lactic, and acetic acid. Total phenol concentration was influenced by the concentration of maltodextrin used with higher values in the samples with no coating agent. The total viability of microorganisms and lactic acid bacteria (8.9·103 – 4.2·104 colony forming units (CFU)·g−1) did not reach the probiotic potential according to FAO and WHO. Salt concentration ranged from 8.9% to 14.3%, moisture content was 5.3 % to 7.03%, solubility in water — 81.74% to 82.8%. Horizontal spray drying with maltodextrin as a coating agent proved to be a suitable solution to obtain an innovative product — dehydrated fermented cabbage juice.

Published: March 2022

Abstract
Honey can easily be adulterated with various cheaper sweeteners for higher commercial profits. Commonly used adulterants include high fructose maize syrup and refined cane sugar, which origin is C4 plants. Isotope ratio mass spectrometry (IRMS) can be used to determine the adulteration of honey with C4 plants. A significant δ13C value difference between honey and its protein provide valuable information of honey authenticity. The IRMS analysis of honey and its proteins and ultra high performance liquid chromatography – evoparative light scattering detection analysis for adulterated honey were performed to assess honey authenticity and origin. Principal component analysis of the obtained IRMS data was performed in order to determine discrimination between groups and for visualisation of observations. The results showed that isotope ratio values in combination with principal component analysis could be useful for determination of adulterant and discrimination of honey of different geographical origins. The chromatography results show ascending increase of the deliberately added sucrose, but do not fully recover the expected value.

Published: March 2022

Abstract
Nowadays national and international directives have focused on improving energy efficiency in the building sector. According to them, energy consumption and emissions of buildings must be reduced. This can be achieved by balancing energy demand in buildings. In this context, this paper proposes a buildings’ energy demand balancing method using the building energy consumption simulation program IDA ICE and real measurements. A 3D model of the building was developed, energy consumption and indoor climate of the building was monitored throughout the year, the behaviour of the occupants (a survey was conducted) was analysed, dynamic change of the weather was studied and all data were integrated into IDA ICE simulation. In order to increase the energy efficiency of buildings, the possibilities of optimization of heat production equipment and heating devices, as well as inspecting and optimization of ventilation and cooling equipment were considered. By adjusting the parameters of the heating system of the researched object, the energy consumption of the auto centre decreased to 39.3 kWh/m2 per year. One of the most popular methods of balancing energy demand in recent years – the creation of smart grids – is also considered.

Authors: Uzel Kemine 
Published: March 2022

Abstract
Background: Uterine rupture during pregnancy is a considerable obstetric complication. The presence of a previous uterine scar is the most significant risk factor. Early clinical diagnosis is paramount to maternal and fetal survival. Case Report: A 36- year-old woman, gravida 2 para 2, presented with sudden acute abdominal pain at 38 weeks of gestation. The patient had a history of cesarean delivery one year ago. Ultrasound scans showed an empty endometrial cavity and fetus outside the uterus. Emergency laparotomy was performed, a live baby boy weighing 3.420 kg was delivered, and the uterine disruption was repaired. Conclusion: Increasing trends in the cesarean section may lead to a higher number of uterine ruptures. The survival of patients after uterine rupture depends on the time interval between rupture and intervention, and the availability of appropriate medical team and equipment. Health professionals caring for pregnant women should be alert for the symptoms and risk factors of uterine rupture.

Remote Sensing in Water Quality and Water Resources Management
Authors: Saeid Ahmed Ayad Alfaytouri 
Published: March 2022

The quality of water ascertains the ‘integrity’ of water for specific purposes. Tests and quality of examination of water can provide sufficient information about the waterway health. If tests are conducted over a span of time period, the water quality changes can be realized. There are several testing parameters like pH value, temperature, salinity, turbidity, phosphates and nitrates, which can help assess the water quality. Also, aquatic macro-invertebrates can give a proper water quality indication.
Surface water contaminated can pose a high risk to the entire human population and it remains a challenging task to investigate and resolve the problem for public health authority. Intensification of agricultural activities, change in climatic conditions, coastal area quick urban development, and resultant freshwater source declining have contributed considerably to the surface water contamination risk and the augmentation of waterborne disease incidences. The quality of surface water monitoring needs frequent problem detection to reduce any negative effect on public health. The epidemiology study applies geospatial and remote sensing technologies to distinguish the temporal and spatial environmental variability determinants to assess the epidemiology of certain diseases. By providing an integrated and systematic approach to risky water management for the public health and safety, a proper epidemiology method can be used and proved to be an efficient device to evaluate the quality of surface water and any related health risks.
SWRMS- Spatial water resource monitoring system provides important and beneficial information to support water management. Requisite innovative features involve the explicit water redistribution description and use of river water and groundwater systems, to achieve more spatial details like key irrigated area features and wetlands, to improve hydrometer observation accuracy and assimilating the observations. A review of research and operational applications reveals that satellite view can enhance spatial detail and accuracy in estimating hydrological model. Every operating system uses land cover classification, dynamic forcing, and a parameterization priory of vegetation dynamics, which is partially or completely based on remote sensing, while satellite observations are utilized in varying stages for data assimilation and model evaluation. The satellite observation, utility by data assimilation varies as a dominant hydrological function. This review paper identifies the spatial and temporal precipitation products, including the application of a higher remote sensing product range, along with operational challenges while research satellite mission continuity with data services, finding computationally-efficient data assimilation techniques. The entire observations critically relies on the detailed information availability and understanding the remotely-sensed spatial and temporal scaling.
Pleiotropic effects of atorvastatin in peritoneal dialysis patients: A retrospective-prospective observational cohort study
Authors: Burdeyna O. 
Published: March 2022

Abstract. Recent studies demonstrate a large number of non-lipid modifiable effects of statins in various diseases. However, although atherogenic dyslipidemia is a common feature in peritoneal dialysis (PD) patients, statins use is supported by limited data and there is a general lack of research on their pleiotropic effects in this patients’ cohort. The present study aimed to evaluate the possible pleiotropic effects of atorvastatin in PD patients.
Methods. A total of 114 PD patients with an average age of 55 (48-65) years and a dialysis vintage of 31 (14-50) months were included in this combined retrospective and prospective multicentre cohort study. PD patients (n = 54) who had started receiving atorvastatin before or after dialysis initiation and been treated with atorvastatin no less than 12 months were included in the Atorvastatin Group. PD patients (n = 60) who have never taken statins consisted of Atorvastatin-free Group.
In addition to routine clinical and PD adequacy tests, concentrations of interleukins -6, -10, tumor necrosis factor-alpha, and monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 in PD effluent (PDE) were evaluated in all study participants at the start of the follow-up period. The primary outcomes were the 3-year PD technique survival and the all-cause mortality of PD patients during the follow-up period.
Results. Atorvastatin users had lower serum phosphate and parathyroid hormone concentrations, higher weekly creatinine clearance, peritoneal weekly Kt/V urea, and, accordingly, total weekly Kt/V compared to the Atorvastatin-free Group. PDE cytokines assessment demonstrated significantly lower concentrations of all studied cytokines in the Atorvastatin Group compared with the Atorvastatin-free Group. In the Cox regression models, atorvastatin use was significantly associated with better PD technique survival (HR = 0.28 (95% CI 0.15; 0.54), p = 0.003) and mortality reduction in the PD patients regardless of their age, diabetes, anuric status, albumin and C-reactive protein levels, and history of PD peritonitis (HR = 0.24 (95% CI 0.15; 0.44), p < 0.0001).
Conclusions. Atorvastatin treatment was associated with the normalization of phosphate-calcium metabolism, low intraperitoneal inflammation and incidence of PD-associated peritonitis, and better dialysis adequacy in our cohort of PD patients. These pleiotropic effects of atorvastatin may be one of the reasons for the lower all‐cause mortality in PD patients. Further studies are needed to determine the necessity of statins prescribing in PD patients.
