Development and evaluation of curcumin-loaded vesicular carriers: impact of formulation variables

Vesicular carriers are a well-established approach to improving the technological and biopharmaceutical characteristics of the loaded cargo. The current manuscript is focused on the development and evaluation in a comparative aspect of two types of vesicles—ethosomes and transfersomes loaded with the phytoconstituent curcumin. The formulation variables affecting their physiochemical and cytotoxic properties are outlined as well. A series of ethosomes and transfersomes based on Lipoid S75 and ethanol, or edge activator, were prepared using the thin film hydration method and subjected to comprehensive evaluation by dynamic light scattering (DLS) analysis, transmission electron microscopy (TEM), entrapment efficiency evaluation, in vitro release, and cytotoxicity studies. Ethosomes based on Lipoid S75 (4% w/w) and ethanol (30% v/v) showed suitable physicochemical characteristics (hydrodynamic diameter of 578.6 nm, monomodal size distribution, high curcumin entrapment efficiency (78.2%)), and superior antiproliferative activity compared to free drug and transfersomal nanocarriers.

Ethical risks of artificial intelligence and prospects for joint decision-making in medicine

The article deals with ethical problems in the process of joint decision-making arising in connection with the active involvement of artificial intelligence systems in medical practice. Special attention is paid to the influence of artificial intelligence systems on the principle of respect for the patient’s autonomy, an ethical assessment of the main criteria of the patient’s autonomous action — voluntariness, awareness and competence is given. It is noted that the declared ethical values in the implementation of artificial intelligence in the field of medicine at this stage of its development cannot fully provide the standard of joint informed decision-making. Along with the extensive capabilities of artificial intelligence systems to increase the patient’s competence and responsibility for their health, ethically ambiguous issues remain related to the awareness and voluntary nature of the patient. Technological features of artificial intelligence create obstacles to the formation of trust between the doctor and the patient: they complicate the process of informing the patient, prevent the patient from voluntarily choosing the preferred treatment algorithm, which may make it difficult to comply with the principle of respect for patient autonomy. The study of trigger points in the mechanism of ethical management of artificial intelligence in the healthcare system is a promising task for the creation of reliable medical artificial intelligence.

Effect of the Addition of Soybean Protein and Insect Flours on the Quality of Cooked Sausages.

This study aimed to assess the effect of the addition (2%) of soybean protein (SP) and insect flours derived from house crickets (Acheta domesticus, HCF) and yellow mealworm (Tenebrio molitor, YMF) in cooked sausages. The technological characteristics of the batter, the chemical composition of the sausages, their technological traits and lipid stability during refrigerated storage, as well as their sensory properties, were investigated. The SP, HCF and YMF batters displayed higher pH (p = 0.0025) and stability (p < 0.0001) but a darker colour (p < 0.0001) than the control samples. The addition of SP increased the plasticity of the batter (p = 0.0017), while YMF decreased its structural strength (p = 0.0274). Higher pH and darker colour were detected in SP-, HCF- and YMF-containing sausages; however, the effect of the alternative proteins depended on the duration of storage. The plasticity decreased in the insect-containing sausages (p = 0.0010) and increased over time (p = 0.0136), whereas the elasticity was lower in the YMF group (p < 0.0001). The protein and fat contents were higher (p < 0.0001) in the sausages containing alternative protein. TBARS content decreased over time in these groups. The HCF and YMF sausages received lower scores for their appearance, colour, texture, flavour and taste, suggesting the need for further technological interventions to make such products more attractive to consumers.

Investigating Safety and Technological Traits of a Leading Probiotic Species: Lacticaseibacillus paracasei.

Lacticaseibacillus spp. are genetically close lactic acid bacteria species widely used in fermented products for their technological properties as well as their proven beneficial effects on human and animal health. This study, the first to include such a large collection of heterogeneous isolates (121) obtained from international collections belonging to Lacticaseibacillus paracasei, aimed to characterize the safety traits and technological properties of this important probiotic species, also making comparisons with other genetically related species, such as Lacticaseibacillus casei and Lacticaseibacillus zeae. These strains were isolated from a variety of heterogeneous sources, including dairy products, sourdoughs, wine, must, and human body excreta. After a preliminary molecular characterization using repetitive element palindromic PCR (Rep-PCR), Random Amplification of Polymorphic DNA (RAPD), and Sau-PCR, particular attention was paid to safety traits, evaluating antibiotic resistance profiles, biogenic amine (BA) production, the presence of genes related to the production of ethyl carbamate and diaminobenzidine (DAB), and multicopper oxidase activity (MCO). The technological characteristics of the strains, such as the capability to grow at different NaCl and ethanol concentrations and different pH values, were also investigated, as well as the production of bacteriocins. From the obtained results, it was observed that strains isolated from the same type of matrix often shared similar genetic characteristics. However, phenotypic traits were strain-specific. This underscored the vast potential of the different strains to be used for various purposes, from probiotics to bioprotective and starter cultures for food and feed production, highlighting the importance of conducting comprehensive evaluations to identify the most suitable strain for each purpose with the final aim of promoting human health.

A Mismatched Piece in a Cultural Middle Stone Age Puzzle: Traces of Human Activity Dated to 90 kya (MIS 5) at Sites EDAR 134 and 155 in the Eastern Sahara, Sudan

ABSTRACT This article presents the results of research carried out at two previously unreported Eastern Desert Atbara River project (EDAR) Middle Stone Age (MSA) sites—EDAR 134 and EDAR 155. Luminescence dating results indicate human activity in this area during the Marine Isotope Stage 5 period (MIS 5), approximately 90 kya. Discussion concerning the affiliation of both analyzed inventories will be provided, including another MSA site from the EDAR area, where an assemblage dated to MIS 6/5e does not have technological features known from other technocomplexes in the eastern Sahara region (EDAR 135). Microscopic analysis of traces of tool use for the EDAR 155 assemblage shows the high impact of post-depositional (aeolian) processes on the state of preservation of lithic material. Sites EDAR 134 and 155 provide evidence for hominin activity during the late Pleistocene within an area only episodically accessible, due to arid conditions prevailing in the Saharan deserts.

Pharmabiotic/phytobiotic formulas approach and their intravaginal effect on different parameters.

Postpartum reproductive infections in cows generate significant economic losses. The use of lactic acid bacteria in animal health is an alternative tool to avoid antibiotic therapy in the prevention/treatment of bovine reproductive infections. In previous studies, 6 lactic bacteria from bovine mammary glands and vagina with beneficial, safe and technological characteristics were selected, and included in probiotic/phytobiotic formulas (combined with Malva and Lapacho extracts). In this work, probiotic and phytobiotic formulations were designed and their long-term viability determined. They were administered intravaginally to 30 females pregnant bovine pre and postpartum. The modification of the native microbiota and permanence/colonization of cultivable bacteria was evaluated, and also the safety of the designed products through the application of nutritional, clinical, hematological and biochemical parameters. The microorganisms maintained their viability up to 9 months at refrigeration temperature. The number of cultivable bacteria showed different pattern: total aerobic mesophylls increased slightly in all experimental groups, while Enterobacteriaceae increased after delivery, except in beneficial acid lactic bacteria + vegetable extract cows. Control and vegetable extract females showed the highest numbers of Enterobacteriaceae at the end of the trial (30 days postpartum). The number of lactic acid bacteria increased significantly in all the groups between 15 days pre and postpartum. The different parameters evaluated demonstrate the safety and harmlessness of the designed formulas, without producing local and systemic adverse effects in the cows.

Avocado and Its By-Products as Natural Sources of Valuable Anti-Inflammatory and Antioxidant Bioactives for Functional Foods and Cosmetics with Health-Promoting Properties

Avocado (Persea americana) is a unique fruit with exceptional nutritional and technological characteristics, as well as proposed health benefits. Moreover, the commercial utilization of avocado to make guacamole and/or to extract its oil for several applications generates massive amounts of avocado bio-wastes, including peels and seeds by-products, which further impact the environment and waste management costs. Within this article, the proposed health benefits of moderate avocado consumption, as a functional component of a balanced diet against inflammation-related chronic disorders, and its potential applications are fully addressed. The numerous bioactive compounds present in avocado fruit and its by-products, such as its bioactive phenolics, dietary fiber, and lipid bioactives like unsaturated fatty acids and polar lipids, are also thoroughly outlined. The functional anti-inflammatory, antithrombotic, and antioxidant properties of each of these bioactives and avocado extracts, are then thoroughly reviewed. Emphasis is given to these avocado-derived bioactives and extracts that have the potential to be utilized in various industrial applications, such as in functional foods, supplements, nutraceuticals, and cosmetics related health-promoting applications. The limitations and future perspectives of these applications based on avocado bioactives are also discussed.

Ground Source Heat Pumps in Buildings Revisited and Prospects

A large number of ground-source heat pump (GSHP) systems have been used in residential and commercial buildings throughout the world due to their attractive advantages of high energy and environmental performances. In particular, GSHPs constitute a proven renewable energy technology for space heating and cooling. This paper provides a detailed literature review of the primary aspects of GSHP systems. These include the technological characteristics of HPs and the main types and variations in GSHPs, along with their environmental impact. Other aspects addressed are the integration of GSHPs with other systems, as well as their optimal design and control and energy analysis. The important aspect of the system’s performance is also dealt with through case studies and also the barriers hindering the further adoption of GSHPs in buildings. Two important challenges for the adoption of GSHPs is their cost and environmental efficiency. Studies have shown that GSHPs can reach a &gt;&gt;24% lower environmental impact than air-source HPs, while today’s technology can allow for a payback period for installing a GSHP of &lt;&lt;5 years. Finally, based on the above review, the future challenges and prospects for the successful uptake of GSHPs is discussed. It seems that through the right steps, the wide adoption of GSHPs as an important form of ‘implemented’ renewable energy system can become a reality.

Study of Physical Properties and Alterability of Natural Stones and Artificial Agglomerated

Objective: This work aims to evaluate the physical and alterability properties such as resistance to staining and chemical attack of two natural stones (Siena White and White Marble) and two artificial agglomerated stones (Aldan White and Galaxy White), using Brazilian technical standards as methodology. ABNT NBR 15845 (2015), NBR 16596 (2017) and NBR 10545 (2017). Theoretical Framework: Ornamental stones, such as granite, marble and quartzite, are valued in construction and decoration for their durability and natural beauty. Artificial agglomerated stones are industrially produced to imitate the appearance of natural stones, offering additional advantages such as greater uniformity and resistance. Both options have their various aesthetic and functional applications. Method: Ten specimens measuring 60 x 60 x 20 mm were used for each material. Apparent density, apparent porosity and water absorption tests were carried out. To determine resistance to chemical attack, ABNT NBR 16596 (2017) was used, where the stones were exposed to a variety of chemical agents. The determination of stain resistance was carried out according to the ABNT NBR 10545-14 (2017) standard in an adapted form. The samples were exposed for 24 hours to penetrating agents and household products. Subsequently, the material was classified according to the ease of removing stains, after the cleaning steps described in the standard. Results and Discussion: The results showed that natural stones and artificial agglomerates were satisfactory in meeting the requirements of the ABNT NBR 15844 (2015) standard, as the lower porosity and reduced water absorption generally make these materials more durable and easier to maintain, especially in environments where the Exposure to moisture and liquids is an important factor, such as in kitchens and bathrooms. Research Implications: Evaluate the physical indices, staining and chemical attack of natural stones and artificial agglomerated stones produced by the industry. Originality/Value: Carry out tests on natural stones and artificial agglomerates in materials sold in industry and certify their technological characteristics through tests established by Brazilian standards.

НЕКОТОРЫЕ ОСОБЕННОСТИ РАЗРАБОТКИ ФОРМОВОЧНЫХ И СТЕРЖНЕВЫХ СМЕСЕЙ С ПРИМЕНЕНИЕМ БОРАТФОСФАТНЫХ СВЯЗУЮЩИХ

In the practice of foundry production, it is known to use cores of phosphate cold-hardening mixtures (CMC), containing: aluminophosphate (APS), magnesium phosphate (MFS), aluminochrome phosphate (ACPS), magnesium aluminophosphate (MAPS), calcium magnesium phosphate (CMPS), chromophosphate (CPS) and boraluminophosphate (BAPS) and other binders [1-20]. The widespread use of metal phosphate binders (MPBs) is hampered by the fact that CBTs made on their basis have a number of disadvantages. In particular, cold-hardening mixtures prepared using an aluminophosphate binder (APB) and a magnesium phosphate binder (MPB) do not provide the mixtures with sufficient binding and strength properties. Regulation of such properties of molding and core mixtures as survivability, formability, crumbling, strength and some other properties occurs by changing the composition and content of binder compositions in the mixtures. It is known that boric acid and its salts exhibit adhesive-cohesive properties and the use of which as a modifier in the composition of thermal insulation, molding, and core mixtures improves their physical, mechanical and technological characteristics. It is also known that boric acid enters into chemical reactions with inorganic and organic substances to form complex compounds that exhibit more pronounced binding properties than boric acid. The purpose of the work is to improve the properties of aluminophosphate and magnesium phosphate cold-hardening mixtures using boric acid (H3BO3), borophosphoric acid (composition H3BO3•H3PO4) and borophosphorous acid (composition H3BO3•H3PO3) and their effect on the strength characteristics, crumbling and formability of the tested mixtures.

Evaluation of nutritional, technological, oxidative, and sensory properties of low-sodium and phosphate-free mortadellas produced with bamboo fiber, pea protein, and mushroom powder

This study examined the effects of replacing alkaline phosphate (AP) with bamboo fiber (BF), isolated pea protein (PP), and mushroom powder (MP) on the nutritional, technological, oxidative, and sensory characteristics of low-sodium mortadellas. Results indicated that this reformulation maintained the nutritional quality of the products. Natural substitutes were more effective than AP in reducing water and fat exudation. This led to decreased texture profile analysis (TPA) values such as hardness, cohesiveness, gumminess, and chewiness. The reformulation reduced the L* values and increased the b* values, leading to color modifications rated from noticeable to appreciable according to the National Bureau of Standards (NBS) index. Despite minor changes in oxidative stability indicated by increased values in TBARS (from 0.19 to 0.33 mg MDA/kg), carbonyls (from 2.1 to 4.4 nmol carbonyl/mg protein), and the volatile compound profile, the sensory profile revealed a beneficial increase in salty taste, especially due to the inclusion of MP, which was enhanced by the synergy with BF and PP. In summary, the results confirmed the potential of natural alternatives to replace chemical additives in meat products. Incorporating natural antioxidants into future formulations could address the minor oxidation issues observed and enhance the applicability of this reformulation strategy.

Effect of commercial lipase incorporation on technological properties of bread

Additives are used to improve bread quality; for this reason, lipase stands out, as it simulates the effect of emulsifiers. The present work aimed to verify the effect of commercial lipase addition on the physical and technological characteristics of the bread. The first stage used 33 factorial design namely three enzymes, five concentrations, and three fermentation times. The second stage used 23 factorial design, and stored over 28 days, with two formulations (control and with enzyme) and three storage temperatures. The PCA identified the variables with the most significance in PC1: specific volume, volume, and variables related to texture and expansion. In the second stage (shelf life), the PCA revealed that the bread samples with enzymes in the formulation differed from the control samples. Based on the circle of correlations, enzyme samples were distinguished by lower chewiness, gumminess, and hardness. Microscopic analysis showed that the starch molecules were more uniform in the first 14 days. However, the starch molecules lost their conformational structure afterwards. Therefore, the incorporation of lipase improved the bread’s technological parameters such as volume, texture, and structure.

APPROACH TO MATHEMATICAL MODELING OF THE COST OF APPLYING COATINGS TO PREVENT THE FORMATION OF ARPD

The authors explore the topic of operation of main oil pipelines, complicated by the formation and settling of asphalt, resin, and paraffin deposits (wax deposits). It is known that the fallout of paraffin deteriorates the technological characteristics of the pipeline, which has a number of negative consequences from an economic point of view: a decrease in income due to a narrowing of the flow area and the volume of pumped oil, an increase in costs due to the increased load on main pumps. Today, there are many different ways to combat wax deposits, primarily aimed at preventing the fallout or removing formed deposits from the internal surface of an oil pipeline, the effectiveness of which is determined individually for each pipeline due to the complexity in assessing the influence of the rheological characteristics of oil and the geological conditions of the pipeline on the effectiveness of the methods. One of the additional and universal options for combating wax deposits is the use of internal and external protective coatings.The authors have developed a number of models of oil pipelines that use oils from various oil and gas basins, differing in paraffin content, and considering the presence of insulation of various protective coatings (paint and varnish, highly reinforced protective coating (VUS), bitumen-mastic VUS, polyurethane foam) and their combinations. For these models, the Schlumberger OLGA program simulated the operation of the pipeline for 180 days, on the basis of which the maximum thickness of the formed paraffin was estimated, and the specific energy costs for pumping through the pipeline without coating and various types of coating were calculated, after which the calculation was performed main economic indicators of pipeline operation for each option. Based on the calculation results, it was concluded that it is advisable to use one or another coating based on the shortest payback period. This comprehensive assessment demonstrates a methodology for assessing the effectiveness of the use of protective coatings from both a technological and economic point of view and allows us to draw conclusions about the possibility of using one or another option based on the results of the study, depending on the composition of the oil.

Suggestions for practical application and direction of future research can be made in the implementation of the body manufacturing technology of the executive body of the geohod, taking into account the optimal geometry of the cutting edge of the body and the type of production of tunneling units.

Шыны қалдықтарына негізделген тұтқыр материалдарды алу технологиясын зерттеу

The undeniable advantage of the technology of production of binders on the basis of vitrified glass is its low energy consumption. This is explained by the absence of technological processes, the realisation of which involves high temperature, pressure, etc. Often raw materials, which are production waste, do not require additional preparation, and are subjected only to cleaning and co-milling. However, despite the simplicity of the technology of production of binder on the basis of broken glass, there are a number of reasons preventing its implementation, primarily the lack of sufficient information on the technological features of glass-alkaline systems of glass hardening. The aim of this work: optimisation of the technology of production of composite materials based on glass-alkaline binders under conditions of normal temperature and humidity or at temperatures not exceeding 90°C. Scientific methods of research in the work-analysis, observation, experiment, mathematical modelling.

Revisiting the Correlation Between the Valdivia and San Pedro Ceramic Complexes (Based on Technological Characteristics)

This article presents the results of a study of ceramics associated with the Valdivia and San Pedro complexes at the Real Alto site, southwestern Ecuador. The test sample, studied in 2022, includes fragments of vessels from two morphological and functional groups, relating to the first two phases of the Valdivia culture (bowls and pots) and those representing the San Pedro complex (vessels with necks and a bowl). A comparative analysis was based on identified technological indicators marking various stages of pottery manufacture. Certain differences are seen in the composition of paste and in the hand-shaping of the vessels. Significant differences were revealed in surface treatment and decoration. This is evidenced by the use of colored and plain coating, high-quality solid or matte striped polishing, and complexity of decoration. Distinctive features of firing include the use of different kilns and various atmospheric modes. Parallels include broadly similar firing temperatures. The technological difference between the two morphological and functional groups of the Valdivia complex is that bowls were manufactured with more complex and labor-consuming techniques, whereas pots are technologically somewhat similar to those from San Pedro. Radiocarbon dates (4640–4450 BP) suggest that the two traditions coexisted. Differences may reflect their cultural distinctness.

Possibilities of Quality Management of Chicken Meat Produced in Polish Industrial Conditions Using an Own-Construction Device for Poultry Electric Stunning in a Water Bath

The aim of the research was to determine the possibilities for managing chicken meat (fillet) quality by applying the own-construction (OC) device for electrical stunning. We determined the effects based on selected technological and visual features of fillets, providing a measurable basis for producers to take preventive actions to improve meat quality management practices. The experimental material consisted of fillets from broiler chickens. The process of electrically stunning chickens in a water bath was carried out in Polish industrial conditions using two devices: own-construction (OC) and commercial from a Polish company (PLC). We determined the quality of fresh and stored meat (14 days/4 °C) based on technological characteristics (pH, color, tenderness) and visual assessment (number of small and large hemorrhages, defects). As a result, the use of the own-construction (OC) device compared to the commercial (PLC) one has a beneficial effect on: (1) reducing the number of hemorrhages, (2) increasing the share of high-quality fillet production by approx. 50%, (3) brightening and uniforming the color of fillets, and (4) improving the tenderness of fresh meat and maintaining it during 14 days of storage. The effects of using the OC device are beneficial for meat producers on the market.
