REVIEW OF POLYCYCLIC AROMATIC HYDROCARBONS (PAHs) IN SMOKED ANIMAL ORIGIN FOOD; A SERBIAN PERSPECTIVE

This review article presents various aspects of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH) found in smoked animal-derived foods. The article covers PAHs and smoking methods, their levels and origins, regulatory aspects, existing knowledge gaps, as well as their impact on human health and future prospects concerning smoked animal-derived foods from the Republic of Serbia. Given our tradition and the widespread appreciation for smoked meat among consumers, producers are increasingly incorporating smoking into the production process of various animal and non-animal food products to encourage consumption diversification. Over the past ten years, our research has included smoking in traditional and industrial conditions. So far, we have examined the presence of PAHs in meat products, fish products and honey. Research on PAHs in grilled and smoked cheese is underway, after which we the results of the presence of PAH compounds in all types of smoked animal origin food will be available. Our findings revealed the presence of PAHs in the majority of studies conducted in the Republic of Serbia. Therefore, it is crucial to maintain continuous monitoring of their levels. Additionally, there is a need to develop models and implement solutions aimed at reducing PAHs in animal-derived foods intended for human consumption.

Exploring the thermal decomposition mechanism of nitromethane via a neural network potential

A new neural network potential (NNP) is constructed to reveal the thermal decomposition mechanism of nitromethane (NM). The NNP model possesses both ab initio accuracy and empirical force fields efficiency, which allows the investigation of the entire decomposition process of NM from an atomic perspective. A series of molecular dynamics simulations are performed for NM decomposition, and the main reaction channels are further examined with transition state theory and quantum calculation. The results show that the C-N bond breaking is the dominant initial decomposition channel of NM at high temperature, and the stable product H2O can be consumed for the formation of NH3 and CO2. The complex reaction network is established, and the generation process of each main product is discussed in detail. The NNP gives an atomic insight into the complex reaction dynamics of NM and can be extended to investigate the reaction mechanism of more CHON based energetic materials.

MANAJEMEN STRATEGI PEMBAGIAN SERTIFIKASI HALAL BAGI PELAKU USAHA UMKM GUNA MENDORONG EKONOMI MANDIRI DI KABUPATEN BANDUNG

The Indonesian government has designated halal certification as a key factor in enhancing the competitiveness of local products and facilitating the expansion of Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) in the food sector. Furthermore, the government has underscored that starting in 2024, products circulating in the community that are not halal-certificated will face sanctions in accordance with the provisions outlined in Presidential Regulation No. 39 of 2021. In response to this, the government initiated the SEHATI (Gratis Halal Certificate) program, with a quota of one million certificates made available throughout the year. The implementation of Observation Experience, particularly in the Andir Subdistrict, Baleendah District, Bandung Regency, encompasses one of the programs aimed at assisting UMKM practitioners in obtaining halal certification for their products. This program is undertaken to maximize the fulfillment of the SEHATI program quota provided by the government and to assist UMKM practitioners who may lack understanding of the halal certification registration process. It also serves as an educational effort, specifically targeting UMKM practitioners, to raise awareness about the importance of halal certification for marketed products. The execution of this program is futher guided by LP3H (Institution for Assisting the Halal Product Process) to ensure that the procedures for registering halal certificated products align with established standards and to gain trust from the surrounding community, especially UMKM practitioners, that this program is government-based and not fraudulent.

Arbuscular Mycorrhizal Fungi Regulate Lipid and Amino Acid Metabolic Pathways to Promote the Growth of Poncirus trifoliata (L.) Raf.

Arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi can enhance the uptake of soil nutrients and water by citrus, promoting its growth. However, the specific mechanisms underlying the action of AM fungi in promoting the growth of citrus were not fully elucidated. This study aimed to explore the role of AM fungi Funneliformis mosseae in the regulatory mechanisms of P. trifoliata growth. Pot experiments combined with non-targeted metabolomics methods were used to observe the growth process and changes in metabolic products of P. trifoliata under the conditions of F. mosseae inoculation. The results showed that F. mosseae could form an excellent symbiotic relationship with P. trifoliata, thereby enhancing the utilization of soil nutrients and significantly promoting its growth. Compared with the control, the plant height, stem diameter, number of leaves, and aboveground and underground dry weight in the F. mosseae inoculation significantly increased by 2.57, 1.29, 1.57, 4.25, and 2.78 times, respectively. Moreover, the root system results confirmed that F. mosseae could substantially promote the growth of P. trifoliata. Meanwhile, the metabolomics data indicated that 361 differential metabolites and 56 metabolic pathways were identified in the roots of P. trifoliata and were inoculated with F. mosseae. This study revealed that the inoculated F. mosseae could participate in ABC transporters by upregulating their participation, glycerophospholipid metabolism, aminoacyl tRNA biosynthesis, tryptophan metabolism and metabolites from five metabolic pathways of benzoxazinoid biosynthesis [mainly enriched in lipid (39.50%) and amino acid-related metabolic pathways] to promote the growth of P. trifoliata.

Study of textile carpet combustion process

Currently, synthetic carpet products are widely used in the home, as they compare favorably with natural ones in terms of technical characteristics. This is due to their high durability, lack of tendency to rot, wide range of colors and relatively low cost of production. However, the ease, ignition and increased flammability of most synthetic carpet products result in rapid spread of fire through them, igniting other products and objects in the vicinity. The sources of the fire are usually matches, cigarettes, careless handling of fire, and short circuits. In this regard, the purpose of the study is to investigate the combustion process of textile synthetic carpet products of "Bal Textile" LLP with justification of the most rational methods of flammability and combustibility assessment. Subject of research: processes of thermo-oxidative destruction of modified polypropylene textile materials and their relationship with fire hazard properties, flammability of fiber-forming polymers. The combustion process of synthetic carpet products of Bal Textile LLP with different Heat Set yarn densities and pile lengths were investigated. Based on the research we have done, it has been concluded that the higher the pile of the carpet, the higher the level of combustion. Carpets melt when ignited and are also colored as a black liquid. The value of the conducted research is that on their basis it is possible to classify materials by degree of combustibility (flammability) and to develop requirements for synthetic carpet products of LLP "Bal Textile" of reduced fire hazard taking into account their possible application in practice.

Optimizing coolant oil wastewater treatment via modified air-Fenton process with bimetallic particles from auto parts manufacturing waste

This study evaluated the efficiency of aluminium (Al)/iron (Fe) bimetallic particles, produced from waste by-products of auto parts manufacturing—namely, aluminum dross (AD) and shot blast (SB)—in removing chemical oxygen demand (COD) and total organic carbon (TOC) from coolant oil wastewater originating from an auto parts manufacturer. Two different molar ratios of ADSB bimetallic particles, namely, 1:1 (ADSB1) and 2:1 (ADSB2), were investigated for their characteristics and applied in the modified air-Fenton (MAF) process which enhances the traditional Fenton method by utilizing ADSB bimetallic particles instead of Fe0 and Al0, and by incorporating aeration to stimulate the reaction. The wastewater contained an initial COD ranging from 60,000 to 120,000 mg L–1 (at 3–5 % v/v) and a TOC ranging from 10,000 to 40,000 mg L−1. The experimental design included varying reaction times, pH values, quantities of bimetallic particles, airflow rates, and wastewater concentrations were performed using the Minitab-19 software package. X-ray fluorescence (XRF) analysis revealed that the bimetallic particles have SiO2 content ranging from 39.69 % to 56.03 %, Fe2O3 ranging from 20.52 % to 30.90 % and Al2O3 ranging from 16.51 % to 16.66 %, with surface areas varying between 5 and 6 m2 g−1. As a result of XRF analysis, SiO2 can be contaminated by the sand molds used in the manufacturing process of products. Notably, ADSB1 exhibited impressive removal efficiencies of 98.70 % and 98.50 % for COD and TOC, respectively, at 0.6 g, pH 3, airflow rate of 1.5 L min–1, and reaction time of 105 min. Conversely, ADSB2 achieved removal efficiencies of 96.30 % and 98.43 % for COD and TOC, respectively, at 0.2 g, pH 9, airflow rate of 2.0 L min–1, and reaction time of 180 min. Pareto charts and 3D surface plots derived from the data showed the number of bimetallic particles as the most influential factor, followed by the initial pH. The MAF process significantly extends the pH range under diverse conditions by incorporating ADSB particles and reduces the reliance on traditional chemicals like hydrogen peroxide. This research presents a promising advancement in wastewater treatment technology.

Comparison of mechanical strengths and microstructure of Portland cement-calcium sulfoaluminate cement binders with cellulose ethers of different viscosities

Portland cement-calcium sulfoaluminate cement (PC-CSA) binders possess special characteristics that are obviously different from that of a single component. This will affect the modification effect of cellulose ethers with different viscosities on cement. This study focuses on the mechanical properties, hydration process, type and content of hydration products, pore structure and interface structure of the binders with cellulose ethers, i.e. hydroxyethyl methyl cellulose (HEMC). The following results have been obtained that adding high content of CSA can improve the early mechanical strengths of the binders, while high content of PC is beneficial to the maintenance of the strengths at the middle and late stages. Compared with low viscosity HEMC, high viscosity HEMC reduces the mechanical strengths. Based on the hydration heat evolution results, high content of CSA significantly promotes the early hydration heat release of the binders. When the PC content is 85 %, adding high viscosity HEMC delays the hydration of the binders, but the hydration is promoted when the PC content is 50 %. Combined with the XRD and TG-DTG tests, the content of typical AFt and Al(OH)3 hydration product is relatively high in the binders with high content CSA. AFm has generated in the binders at mid-late age and adding HEMC improves its formation. Adding HEMC delays the formation of CH, while the HEMC viscosity has a limited effect. According to MIP results, the pore content in the binders tends to increase with the CSA content. The incorporation of HEMC significantly increases the pore content of all sizes, especially macro pores. And the greater the HEMC viscosity, the more obvious the above effect. The nanoindentation test results show that incorporating HEMC decreases the elastic modulus of the binders and weakens the interface structure between cement pastes and sands.

Automated weld defect segmentation from phased array ultrasonic data based on U-net architecture

Ultrasonic inspection is an environmentally friendly and easily deployable nondestructive testing (NDT) method widely used for defect detection of critical components in the industry. Phased array ultrasonic testing (PAUT) is one of the most advanced ultrasonic inspection methods, which gives volume inspection with increased resolution and coverage, improving inspection efficiency. Because of the weld structure echoes and the abstract nature of ultrasound images, especially facing meters and feature-changing weld joints with different thicknesses and welding methods in shipbuilding, the analysis of the PAUT weld data still relies on experienced rater random inspections. Rating complex welded products process is lengthy, costly, and prone to introduce human error during the manual rating but challenges automatic detection. To automatically segment defects in PAUT data, this work shows a combination of PAUT data of ship weld and three-dimensional (3D) U-net architecture. Combining PAUT imaging principles with welding and scan processes, a PAUT volumetric image dataset, including different thicknesses and scan angles, is established. We pioneered the application of 3D U-net architecture to segment defects in PAUT volume data. We found that U-net architecture with two encoding stages will perform better in segmenting defects in PAUT data, and region-based loss mainly improves the accuracy. Furthermore, a lightweight U-net architecture containing skip-connection and residual blocks is proposed with precision and efficiency improvement. The validation results show that the proposed U-net architecture offers a feasible solution to the problem of segmenting defects from PAUT data with a Dice accuracy of 90.9 %. Segmentation results help to locate and measure defects. This method makes locating and sizing defects in PAUT weld data possible within a fraction of a second.

Exploring deep eutectic solvents for enhanced extraction of bio-active compounds from microalgae biomass

Microalgae biomass contains proteins, polysaccharides, carotenoids, phenolic compounds, vitamins, minerals, and other valuable compounds. In the extraction process of useful intracellular products from biomass, deep eutectic solvents (DESs) offer several advantages as an alternative to organic solvents. This study used deep eutectic solvents as extraction media to obtain bio-active compounds from freeze-dried microalgae biomass. This study aimed to evaluate the effect of two different DESs (Choline chloride: acetic acid (1:2) (CCA) and Choline chloride: urea (1:2) (CCU)) on the extraction of lipids, carotenoids, proteins, phenolic compounds, and carbohydrates from different microalgae biomass including Schizochytrium sp., Chlorella vulgaris, Scenedesmus protuberans and Neochloris texensis. The best results were obtained as follows: proteins from CCA-N. texensis (28.99 mg/g DW), carotenoids from CCA-S. protuberans (33.55 mg/g DW), phenolics from CCA-S. protuberans (33.44 mg GAE/g DW), carbohydrates from CCA-S. protuberans (18.32 mg/g DW), and lipids (the treated biomass pellets) from CCU-N. texensis (18.3 %). UV-spectrophotometry, LC–MS/MS, and GC–MS were used to analyse the carotenoid, phenolic, and lipid content, respectively.

Regulation of renal organic cation transporters.

Transporters for organic cations (OCs) facilitate exchange of positively charged molecules through the plasma membrane. Substrates for these transporters encompass neurotransmitters, metabolic byproducts, drugs, and xenobiotics. Consequently, these transporters actively contribute to the regulation of neurotransmission, cellular penetration and elimination process for metabolic products, drugs, and xenobiotics. Therefore, these transporters have significant physiological, pharmacological, and toxicological implications. In cells of renal proximal tubules, the vectorial secretion pathways for OCs involve expression of organic cation transporters (OCTs) and multidrug and toxin extrusion proteins (MATEs) on basolateral and apical membrane domains, respectively. This review provides an overview of documented regulatory mechanisms governing OCTs and MATEs. Additionally, regulation of these transporters under various pathological conditions is summarized. The expression and functionality of OCTs and MATEs are subject to diverse pre- and post-translational modifications, providing insights into their regulation in various pathological conditions. Typically, in diseases, downregulation of transporter expression is observed, probably as a protective mechanism to prevent additional damage to kidney tissue. This regulation may be attributed to the intricate network of modifications these transporters undergo, shedding light on their dynamic responses in pathological contexts.

Circular Economy and Recycling of Electronic Products in the European Union

Abstract The plan proposed within the 2030 Agenda through its specific objectives regarding sustainable development as well as through the approach to achieving a circular economy, is part of a strategy at European level for improving and preserving the environment in a sustainable manner. The recycling process as a component of the strategy has and will have a major impact on the environment. In this article, a data mining analysis is carried out regarding the recycling rate of electronic and electrical products at the European level. The analysis is carried out for two moments of time, namely the year 2018 and the year 2021. Following the clustering process of the countries from the European Union (EU), it is easier to see which countries have similar behavior from this point of view. At the same time, taking into account the two years, it is possible to observe the dynamics of the created clusters and how the European countries succeed to manage the recycling process of electronic and electrical products three years apart. The two moments were chosen taking into account the COVID-19 pandemic, the period in which, the teleworking way has occurred. For this reason, many employees had to purchase the necessary things and transform at least one room into an office. The authors’ contributions consisted in the pre-processing of data sets, the application of data mining algorithms, obtaining the results and their interpretation in the given context, commenting on the results obtained and providing answers to the research questions. The work is structured in five sections, respectively Introduction, Literature review, Methodology, Results and Discussion and Conclusion.

Discrepancies in therapeutic indications for the same oncology drugs among FDA, EMA, and Brazilian agency.

e23035 Background: Divergent marketing approvals for oncology drugs among prominent agencies can prompt questions, especially when they are grounded in the same evidence. The aim of this study was to evaluate and compare the assessment and approval processes for novel products and indications by the FDA, EMA, and the Brazilian Health Regulatory Agency (ANVISA). Methods: Therapeutic indications for FDA-approved anticancer drugs from January 2019 to December 2023 were identified. Data, including approval dates, details on authorization procedures and evidence presented, were extracted from the databases of the FDA, EMA, and ANVISA. Only approvals for non-hematologic solid tumors were considered. All data were publicly available, and ethical approval was not required. No patient involvement occurred in this study. Results: Between 2019 and 2023, the FDA granted approval for 154 therapeutic indications for marketing authorization, resulting from 148 pivotal trials. The predominant cancer types during this period were non-small cell lung cancer (31 approvals [20.1%]). Most trials were in phase III (66.8%) and randomized (68.1%). Additionally, 41 (26.6%) received accelerated approvals, with 6 subsequently obtaining regular approvals. Among the therapies, 66 trials (42.8%) involved active comparators, while 53 (34.4%) and 35 (22.7%) were single-arm and placebo-controlled trials, respectively. Approximately half (74 [48%]) of the therapies were approved for metastatic first-line treatment, 54 (35%) for second-line treatment, and the rest for neoadjuvant and/or adjuvant treatment. Regarding endpoint characteristics supporting approval, the most prevalent was a combination of objective response rate (ORR) + duration of response (DoR) (38 [24.6%]), followed by progression-free survival (PFS) + overall survival (OS) (31 [20.1%]). When comparing the 154 FDA-approved indications, 50 (32.4%) were not approved by EMA, and 60 (38.9%) were not approved by ANVISA. Furthermore, in 33 cases (21.4%), there were disparities in clinical indications between the FDA and EMA, primarily related to the target population specification, with 10 cases (6.4%) attributed to programmed death ligand-1 (PD-L1) expression. Notably, in these instances, the FDA approved the drug regardless of PD-L1 expression, while the EMA required a percentage of cells with PD-L1 expression. In all these cases, ANVISA aligned with the FDA's assessment. Conclusions: Significant clinical disparities were identified in the outcomes of the approval process for oncology products among the FDA, EMA, and ANVISA. Additional efforts are needed to standardize decision-making across regulatory systems.

Axial compressive behavior of bamboo sheet twining tube-confined concrete columns with an inner original bamboo tube

The bamboo is widely distributed around the world and the product process is developed well, the biomass bamboo fiber composite is potential to providing strong confinement for concrete, therefore in this paper, bamboo sheet twining tube-confined concrete columns with an inner original bamboo tube (BSTCB) is proposed. This column is a new structure that consists of an external bamboo fiber composite tube and an internal original bamboo tube filled with concrete between the outer and inner tubes. A total of 18 specimens were tested in axial compression. The effects of BCT thickness and original bamboo tube diameter on the mechanical properties of the specimens were analyzed. The experimental results suggested that BCT has a strong lateral confinement ability. The strength and deformability of concrete increased significantly when BCT thickness increased. When the number of BCT layers was in the range of 6–18 layers, the increase in peak stress ranged from 7.7 % to 12.8 % and the increase in ultimate strain ranged from 6.4 % to 24.0 %. The increase in the diameter of the original bamboo tubes had a positive effect to the deformation capacity, while limited effect on the concrete compressive strength. Within the change in diameter from 90 mm to 110 mm, the reduction in concrete strength is within 6.0 %, and the change in ultimate strain ranges from 8.5 % to 14.1 %. Finally, the peak stress and strain of the concrete were evaluated using the existing FRP-confined concrete model, and the full stress-strain curve of the concrete was obtained.

Effect of Plastic Ocean Pollution on Marine Life and Human Health in Brazil

Purpose: The aim of the study was to examine effect of plastic ocean pollution on marine life and human health in Brazil. Methodology: This study adopted a desk methodology. A desk study research design is commonly known as secondary data collection. This is basically collecting data from existing resources preferably because of its low cost advantage as compared to a field research. Our current study looked into already published studies and reports as the data was easily accessed through online journals and libraries. Findings: The study found that pervasive presence of plastic debris in Brazil's coastal waters threatens marine ecosystems, leading to entanglement, ingestion, and suffocation of marine species such as seabirds, turtles, and marine mammals. Furthermore, microplastics, resulting from the breakdown of larger plastic items, pose insidious risks to marine life as they are ingested by plankton and subsequently enter the food chain, potentially accumulating in higher trophic levels, including fish consumed by humans. This not only disrupts marine biodiversity but also raises concerns about the safety and quality of seafood, impacting human health and food security in coastal communities. Unique Contribution to Theory, Practice and Policy: Ecological theory, health impact assessment (HIA) theory & environmental justice theory may be used to anchor future studies on Effect of Plastic Ocean Pollution on Marine Life and Human Health in Brazil. Develop and deploy technologies that efficiently remove microplastics and larger debris from marine environments. This includes advancements in filtration systems for water treatment facilities and specialized equipment for collecting debris from ocean surfaces and shorelines. Enforce regulations limiting the production of non-essential single-use plastics, promoting the use of sustainable materials. Policy-makers should consider lifecycle assessments in the approval process of new plastic products.
