description: Mastitis remains a major challenge in the dairy sector, causing significant economic losses and impacting animal welfare globally. Early detection of sub-clinical (SCM) and clinical mastitis (CM) is crucial for effective management, particularly in varying environmental conditions. The current study aims at thermal imaging of the udder, teat, and short milking tube (SMT) of the milking machine across milking phases and seasons to assess SCM and CM via infra-red thermography (IRT) in a sub-tropical organised farm of Karnal, India. The udder health status of 98–117 lactating Holstein Friesian crossbred (HFCB) cows was screened monthly using IRT and further accessed using the California Mastitis Test (CMT) and somatic cell count (SCC). The thermal image analysis revealed a difference (p < 0.01) in the temperatures of seasonal analysis across milking phases for udder and teat skin surface temperature (USST and TSST) and the SMT of healthy, SCM, and CM quarters. The SMT reflected a rise of 4.19 and 6.68 °C in winter, 0.52 and 1.26 °C in summer, 1.32 and 2.63 °C in rainy, and 2.80 and 4.84 °C in autumn among the quarters affected with SCM and CM relative to healthy quarters. Thermal images for SMT, USST, and TSST revealed a very strong correlation with the CMT scores and log10SCC at p < 0.01. Thus, IRT emerges as a valuable and efficient tool that can aid in the diagnosis of mastitis detection across the seasons and milking phases in HFCB cows.

description: According to the normative document, the comparison of the calculation results of explosion pressure of the gas-air mixture in the room carried out in the work showed that the obtained result does not correspond to the established limit. This fact testifies to the unsuitability of the developed calculation methods. When determining the explosion pressure, it is necessary to use the explosion power hypothesis instead of HWS (hot water supply) energy hypothesis. The results of the calculation of the explosion parameters of the gas-air mixture based on the energy hypothesis using the concept of “TNT equivalent” do not correspond to the results of experimental studies. This fact indicates the unsuitability of the calculation methods developed and approved in accordance with “the established procedure”. The calculation results obtained according to the approved methods mislead consumers.

description: The UN concept of “sustainable development” is increasingly penetrating various spheres of life, subordinating not only political interests, but also forcing economics and science to work closely together to preserve a favorable environment, biodiversity and reduce climate emissions. On the one hand, in the current global paradigm, this attitude is mainly positive, as it aims to achieve the goals of the Paris Climate Agreement, prevent negative environmental impacts and other high goals, including the protection of the interests of future generations. However, the “green fever” that is sweeping the world, namely the race of states and various international organizations, carries significant risks. The goals and economic targets set by Governments are sometimes not just overly ambitious, but simply unrealistic and utopian, as in the case of the transition to blue hydrogen in the next five years. In addition, another problem associated with the implementation of the principles of sustainable development is the problem of abuse of rights in the financial market, as well as increasing the competitiveness and attractiveness of investments in this area through the issuance of specialized securities, the so-called “green bonds” or their specialized variety of “blue bonds”. However, it should be noted that with all the marketing activities that accompany the issuance of each financial instrument of this type, it is currently impossible to ensure their liquidity solely for supposed good purposes. Thus, without a clearly formulated economic plan confirming the real financial attractiveness of both projects on the introduction of blue water and projects on the issue of blue bonds, both are doomed to very low performance.

description: A smooth transition phase is the key for optimal dairy cows’ performance and reduced antibiotics use. Therefore, the objective of our Our study was to compare the effect of an antibiotic growth promoter and a nutraceutical bolus, onhealth, colostrum, milk production, and profitability in transition dairy cows. Seventy-five animals blocked by parity, previous milk yield, lactation length, and body condition score (BCS) were assigned in a randomised design to 1 of 3 groups: control (CON; N = 26) receiving no treatment; monensin (MON; N = 27) receiving, a slow-releasing intraruminal bolus of sodic monensin at −20 d relative to expected calving; nutraceutical (ECS; N = 22) receiving, at −5 d before the expected calving an intraruminal bolus of Echinacea purpurea dry extract, vitamin E, l-carnitine and Silybum marianum released within 24h. Colostrum yield and density were recorded; its composition and immunoglobulins content were analysed. Every 20 days BCS was recorded; individual milk yield was recorded daily until 70DIM and monthly thereafter until 305 DIM. Milk quality was tested monthly. An economic evaluation until 70DIM was performed. Colostrum and Δ BCS were analysed by analysis of covariance. Economics and BCS were analysed with ANOVA, and milk yield and quality with ANOVA for repeated measures. The MON and ECS had lower colostrum protein and His, Arg, Ala, Met, Val and Ile content, and in higher milk yield until 35 (ECS) and 70 (MON) DIM compared to the CON. A trend for a higher partial income was observed for MON and ECS compared to the CON group, suggesting a positive impact of the treatments. Monensin and nutraceutical boluses alter colostrum composition and increase milk yield.Nutraceutical bolus is a promising alternative. Monensin and nutraceutical boluses alter colostrum composition and increase milk yield. Nutraceutical bolus is a promising alternative.

description: The Lutjanidae are economically and ecologically important fishes commonly known as snappers. A morphological study of Lutjanidae concluded that it contained four subfamilies and that together with the family Caesionidae, form the superfamily Lutjanoidea. Although this view was supported elsewhere in the literature, it was later contradicted, treating the caesionids as members of the Lutjanidae. In order to infer a phylogeny of genera within Lutjanidae, the complete cytochrome b gene (1140bp) of 21 lutjanid taxa was sequenced and analyzed along with 19 lutjanid, caesionid, and outgroup sequences obtained from GenBank. Data were analyzed for base composition stationarity and saturation. Phylogenetic inferences were performed using maximum parsimony (MP), maximum likelihood (ML), and Bayesian inference (BI) analyses. Base composition remained stationary throughout the data set. Substitutions increased linearly with sequence divergence indicating that substitutions in cytochrome b are not saturated at the taxonomic level of this study. Maximum parsimony analysis failed to resolve relationships of the lutjanids at the subfamily level. Maximum likelihood analysis resolved monophyletic subfamilies within Lutjanidae, however, both maximum parsimony and maximum likelihood grouped the caesionids within the subfamily Lutjaninae, most closely related to Macolor niger. Bayesian inference produced results similar to maximum likelihood, producing monophyletic subfamilies within Lutjanidae and further resolved generic relationships within Etelinae and Apsilinae. Bayesian inference also included the caesionids within Lutjanidae, grouping them within Lutjaninae with Macolor niger sister to Caesioninae. Relationships among genera within Lutjaninae remain unresolved, with the genus Lutjanus paraphyletic.

description: The paper (opening keynote lecture of the 6-th Eurasia Risk 2024 Conference) examines, from the interdisciplinary positions of the infranetics umbrella science and MABICS convergent technologies, the problem of climate change as a generally recognized consequence of the heating of the Earth's atmosphere due to uncontrolled emissions of greenhouse gases (GHG) by the global infrastructure (GI) – the second, artificial, nature created by man. An overview is given of the state of the problem of reducing the carbon footprint (CF) of the global system of infrastructure systems, which, on the one hand, ensures the sustainable development of the mankind, and on the other hand, is the main cause of global warming, which, if not combated, poses an existential threat to humanity. It is shown that the problem of restoring and maintaining the homeostasis of planetary ecology consists in ensuring a balance between two opposite processes – sustainable socio-economic development of the world community and greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, by achieving net zero emissions. The problem of quantitative accounting, assessing and minimizing the infrastructures CF at all stages of their life cycle (LC), including diagnostics, monitoring, maintenance, recovery from accidents and disasters, is considered. Significant information gaps and scatter in CF estimates are noted, which indicate insufficient accuracy of the currently used methods. It is shown that it is necessary to develop a working algorithm for solving the global carbon balance equation considering climate change, according to the top-down scheme, which shows the contribution to the global CF of each infrastructure over time, according to the criterion of achieving zero CO2 emissions by 2060, in accordance with countries’ obligations under the Paris Protocol of 2015.

description: Carbon taxes and trading schemes are pivotal instruments in the fight against climate change, aimed at reducing CO2 emissions by providing economic incentives for emission reductions. This paper examines the effectiveness of these mechanisms in various contexts, analyzing their design, implementation, and outcomes across different regions and industries. Carbon taxes impose a direct cost on carbon emissions, encouraging businesses and consumers to reduce their carbon footprint, while cap-and-trade systems set a limit on total emissions and allow for the trading of emission permits. The analysis highlights the strengths and weaknesses of each approach, including their economic impacts, environmental effectiveness, and equity considerations. The findings suggest that both carbon taxes and trading schemes can significantly contribute to emission reductions when designed with careful consideration of local economic conditions and social implications. The paper concludes with recommendations for policymakers to enhance the effectiveness of these tools in achieving climate targets.

description: While studying the structural and group composition of aromatic hydrocarbons in liquid fractions of the products of catalytic oxycracking of vacuum gas oil, as well as their molecular weight distribution, it was revealed that monocyclic aromatic hydrocarbons predominate in their composition. Their concentration is lower than in the traditional catalytic cracking sample and decreases in 1% OCC > CC > 2% OCC. Among the identified polyaromatic hydrocarbons, naphthalene and its homologs dominate at 1% oxycracking, and phenanthrene and its homologs dominate at 2% oxycracking; at a 1% degree of oxidation, the amount of naphthalene exceeds the indicators of traditional catalytic cracking by almost 2 times, while at a 2% degree of oxidation, this figure decreases by 4 times, which is the smallest among the studied samples. The cresol content also increased significantly. The concentration of fluorene, phenanthrene, and anthracene decreases, but only slightly. In oxycracking products at a 2% degree of oxidation, the content of all PAH groups is the lowest among the samples under consideration. The trend towards a drop in benzo-containing PAHs, noted for traditional catalytic cracking products, is also true for this sample.

description: Tarim wapiti (Cervus elaphus yarkandensis) may have a complex gut microbiota that contributes to its unique qualities due to its biological characteristics of tolerance to coarse feed and salt-alkali. The contents of the forestomach (rumen, reticulum, and omasum), abomasum, and small intestine (duodenum, jejunum and ileum) were taken in this investigation from six Tarim wapiti. The objective was to assess the content of volatile fatty acids (VFAs) and microbiological diversity through 16S rDNA. The results showed that acetate, propionate, butyrate, and valerate concentrations were much higher in the forestomach compared to the small intestine. The communities of bacteria were abundant and diversified in the forestomach and abomasum compared to the small intestine. Bacteroidetes were significantly more abundant in the forestomach and abomasum than in the small intestine, but Firmicutes were the reverse. The predominant bacterial genera identified in the forestomach and abomasum were Rikenellaceae RC9 gut group, Prevotella and F082; Clostridium sensu stricto 1, Acetitomaculum, Paeniclostridium, and Romboutsia were the main bacterial genera in the small intestine. The relative abundance of genes for microbial energy metabolism functions was substantially reduced across the rumen to the reticulum, across the abomasum to the duodenum for carbohydrate metabolism and lipid metabolism functions, and across the jejunum to the ileum for lipid metabolism and energy metabolism functions. In addition, VFAs were found to be positively correlated with dominant bacteria in forestomach and abomasum, and negatively correlated with dominant bacteria in small intestine. According to the study, Tarim wapiti have developed a unique and distinct dominant bacterial community in its forestomach, abomasum, and intestines. This is the first report that provides a detailed analysis of the microbial communities present in different segments of the forestomach, abomasum, and small intestine of the Tarim wapiti.The study established baseline data on the Tarim wapiti, which is the only red deer species that can survive in desert environments.

description: Since the 18th century, as human activity intensified, climate changes on our planet became global. These changes create complications of different nature in different areas. There are three important categories of action for reducing the risk of global climate change: reducing emissions, adapting to climate impacts, and financing required adjustments. The plant world is the most important among the living systems affected by global climate changes. That is why adapting plants to these changes, in other words, increasing their durability, is one of the most important issues of modern horticulture. It has already been proven that nanotechnology plays an important role in increasing plants' resistance to environmental factors (temperature, salinity, drought, radiation, etc.). In the presented review article, the scientific articles of recent years have been analyzed and it has been shown that nanoparticles play an important role in plant development, productivity, important physiological and biochemical, molecular processes and resistance to stress factors. The number of studies and investigations dedicated to this field is observed with exponential growth. In the article, the research of recent years and the results obtained from our own experiences are highlighted. It has been shown that nanoparticles can produce both positive stimulatory and toxic effects in plants, depending on their type, physical and chemical properties, dose, exposure time and application methodology. It has been noted that nanoparticles play an important role in the mineral nutrition of plants, protection, and formation of effective responses to stress factors.

In terms of male morphology, S. paraimpressus sp. nov. bears a close resemblance to S. impressus (Jaschhof & Jaschhof 2013: fig. 119), the very few differences in terminalia structures being as follows. In the new species, the gonocoxal ventral emargination is markedly shallower, resembling the shape of a watch glass (↓ 1, Fig. 29A); each of the parameres ends in a single small knob (↓ 2, Fig. 29A) rather than in several knobs of various sizes; and the gonostylus is slightly more elongate and more slender, and has a larger area covered by thick black spines, especially along the inner margin (↓ 3, Fig. 29B). Also, in S. impressus the gonostylar inside has a transverse ridge, which in S. paraimpressus is absent so that the inner surface is fairly evenly concave (↓ 4, Fig. 29B). Larvae and females of the new species are unknown.

description: Previous studies on probiotics in chickens have shown varying efficacy, and the use of phage as a supplement for improving chicken performance and health has gained interest. However, the combination of these supplements has not been thoroughly investigated. This study aimed to assess the effects of an Escherichia coli phage cocktail, both alone and in combination with probiotics, on specific gut populations, lipid profiles, heterophil-to-lymphocyte ratio, serum immunoglobulins, villus height to crypt depth ratio, and relative organ weights in chickens at day 21 and 35. The experiment followed a completely randomised design with factorial arrangements, consisting of three levels of phage cocktail dosage (0 g/kg, 1 g/kg, and 2 g/kg) and two levels of probiotics dosage (0 g/kg and 1 g/kg), with a total of 288 one-day-old male Cobb 500 broilers. Our study demonstrated that supplementing chicken diets with 1 g/kg phage cocktail and 1 g/kg probiotics resulted in significant (p < 0.05) improvements in growth performance and reduced Clostridium perfringens populations. It also reduced triglyceride levels and did not cause physiological stress, as indicated by the heterophil-to-lymphocyte ratio. Overall, this study provides important insights into the potential benefits of combining phages and probiotics in broiler chicken diets, which have not been extensively studied. Incorporating 1 g/kg of phage cocktail and 1 g/kg of probiotics significantly enhances chicken growth performance and decreases populations of harmful bacteria.This dietary supplementation reduces blood lipid levels in chickens without causing physiological stress.The study highlights the promising advantages of combining phages and probiotics in poultry diets, suggesting a novel approach to improve chicken health and productivity.

description: In recent years, commercial banks have been actively involved in financing projects related to the green economy, reflecting the global trend of transition to sustainable development. Many banks are switching to electronic document management and using alternative energy sources for their operations. Despite the positive changes, banks face certain challenges. There is a risk that financing green technologies may negatively affect the performance of traditional companies. The State provides support commercial banks in the implementation of green economy projects. The Bank of Russia and other government organizations are developing concessional lending programs that allow banks to provide loans on more favorable terms for projects aimed at sustainable development. This may include reducing capital reserve requirements for "green" projects, which makes them more attractive to banks. Commercial banks can receive subsidies to cover part of the interest rates on loans issued to finance environmentally friendly projects. This reduces the financial burden on borrowers and encourages them to implement sustainable initiatives. In some cases, Russian banks may cooperate with international financial institutions. The implementation of green economy projects by commercial banks is not widespread enough. The successful development of green banking requires an integrated approach, including the adaptation of products, internal processes and corporate culture to new environmental standards. This study is devoted to an overview of the mechanisms and methods of stimulating and implementing green banking.

Differential diagnosis
Morphology
The single male described here as S. subimpressus sp. nov. differs from S. paraimpressus sp. nov. in having shorter flagellomeral necks (the neck-to-node ratio in the fourth flagellomere is 1.5 in S. subimpressus (Fig. 30C) versus 2.0 in S. paraimpressus (Fig. 29C)) and in the construction of the gonostylus, of which the particulars are as follows. The gonostylus of S. subimpressus (Fig. 30B) is more compact; the thick black spines cover a markedly smaller area apically and apicomedially; the inside is less sharply separated from the outside (note the sharp longitudinal edge with black spines in S. paraimpressus, Fig. 29B); and the ventral protrusion bears not just ordinary setae but a small cluster of black spines. The two species might also differ in body length (1.7 mm in S. subimpressus versus 2.2 mm in S. paraimpressus), but this difference, derived from a small specimen sample, should be taken with caution considering the size variation described for S. impressus (1.7‒2.0 mm, Jaschhof & Jaschhof 2013). Larvae and females of the new species are unknown.

description: The article explores the transformative role of digital innovations in advancing sustainability across industries. It focuses on how technologies such as artificial intelligence (AI), the Internet of Things (IoT), blockchain, and big data analytics are reshaping the way businesses and consumers interact with resources, leading to more sustainable consumption and production models. These technologies help optimize resource use by improving the efficiency of supply chains, enhancing waste management systems, and enabling real-time monitoring of environmental impacts. For instance, AI and machine learning algorithms allow companies to forecast demand more accurately, reducing overproduction and minimizing waste. IoT devices provide valuable data on energy and resource consumption, enabling more efficient production processes, while blockchain ensures transparency and traceability in supply chains, helping consumers make informed, sustainable choices. The article also examines the growing influence of digital platforms that promote sustainable consumption, such as apps encouraging ecofriendly purchasing decisions or online marketplaces for sharing and reusing goods. By leveraging data-driven insights, these platforms encourage consumers to adopt sustainable lifestyles, while businesses can better align their operations with sustainability goals. Additionally, the article delves into the potential for digital technologies to accelerate the transition to a circular economy, where products and materials are reused, repaired, and recycled instead of following a linear lifecycle. However, the article also addresses the challenges and limitations of adopting digital technologies for sustainability. These include concerns over data privacy, the energy consumption of digital infrastructures, the need for standardized regulations, and the widening digital divide that could limit the accessibility of these technologies in certain regions. Despite these hurdles, the potential of digital technologies to revolutionize sustainable consumption and production is immense, offering new pathways to achieve global sustainability targets and reduce environmental degradation.

description: ClassyFarm is an integrated surveillance system for monitoring the Italian livestock farms on risks related to antimicrobial use (AMU) and resistance (AMR) and other indicators, such as animal welfare and farm biosecurity. In the framework of the CoEvalAMR network we evaluated ClassyFarm by using three evaluation tools: the OH-EpiCap, the FAO PMP-AMR and the NEOH evaluation tool. Evaluation was performed by interviewing representatives of ClassyFarm, National Health System veterinarians, farm vets, farmers, livestock industry entrepreneurs, academy experts in AMR/AMU. NEOH and PMP-AMR evaluation tools were applied twice (at 2 years interval) to detect changes in the implementation of the system over time, while OH-EpiCap was applied once. The three tools differ in evaluation objectives, depth of analysis, and time/training resources needed to perform the evaluation. However, each of them enables to gather different information, which can serve as a basis for the discussion of possible adaptations/improvements of ClassyFarm. Even though ClassyFarm has a limited degree of One Health (OH) implementation, the evaluation showed that the system has evolved from a barely biosecurity and welfare surveillance system towards a more integrated OH approach. A transdisciplinary nature is also emerging, with the involvement of the environmental sector. However, there is space for improvement in resource allocation, data sharing and communication. Beyond the structural evaluation, surveillance systems should be evaluated also in relation to cost-effectiveness and system impacts. Evaluation of surveillance systems is useful to detect gaps and improve the systems’ effectivenessThe evaluation of the ClassyFarm system showed that there is space for improvement in resource allocation, data sharing and communicationSignificant improvements have taken place regarding AMU/AMR awareness and AMU reduction in Italy, although it is difficult to assess the direct impact of ClassyFarm on these changes.
