Impact of <i>Chlorella vulgaris</i> Bioremediation and Selenium on Genotoxicity, Nephrotoxicity and Oxidative/Antioxidant Imbalance Induced by Polystyrene Nanoplastics in African Catfish (<i>Clarias gariepinus</i>)

Contamination of the environment with nano- and microplastic particles exerts a threatening impact on the aquatic ecosystems and sustainable catfish aquaculture. The presence of nanoplastics has been found to have a detrimental impact on bo...

Diet in 1-year-old farm and control children and allergy development: results from the FARMFLORA birth cohort

Background: A farming environment confers strong protection against allergy development. We have previously shown that farming mothers consume more full-fat dairy than control mothers, who instead consume more low-fat dairy, margarine, and ...

Integrated Farming System (IFS): A Review

Adoption of Integrated Farming System (IFS) leads to sustainability and stability in farm income through multiple enterprises that aim at maximum utilization of available natural resources to meet the family needs. It aims at generating a t...

Consumer Acceptance of Texture-Modified Mackerel Stew Products in Older Adults

Along with concerns regarding societal aging, the dietary requirements of older adults have become a priority. Older adults in Korea experience difficulties consuming animal protein sources as they age. Therefore, this study aimed to develo...

Characterization of Proliferation Medium and Its Effect on Differentiation of Muscle Satellite Cells from <i>Larimichthys crocea</i> in Cultured Fish Meat Production

To find a suitable medium for muscle satellite cells of Larimichthys crocea, herein, the effect of different basal media and coating materials on the proliferation of piscine satellite cells (PSCs) was explored. Firstly, two basal media, na...

Optimization of lactic fermentation parameters of sugar beet (Beta vulgaris L.) puree with Lactobacillus plantarum and Lactobacillus casei

This research investigates the lactic fermentation process of sugar beet (Beta vulgaris L.) puree with the aim of creating a functional probiotic product. The focus is on optimizing fermentation conditions to enhance health benefits, thereb...

Microplastic as a vector of heavy metals and chemicals in aquatic ecosystems

Microplastics (MPs) have become a symbol of modern life and their fate in the environment is an issue of great concern. MPs have attracted attention for their widespread distribution, especially in the aquatic ecosystems. MPs can act as a v...

Reproductive Biology of Female Pacific Halibut (Hippoglossus stenolepis) in the Gulf of Alaska

Developing a robust understanding of Pacific halibut reproductive biology is essential to understanding the different components (e.g. maturity) that determine the reproductive output of the species and, therefore, for estimating the relati...

A local meshless method for the one-dimensional Fisher’s equation

This study presents a novel local meshless approach for solving one-dimensional Fisher’s equation, combining a local scheme, Gaussian radial basis functions (G-RBF), and a collocation technique. The method leverages the Gaussian basis’s non...

IWT and RSA based asymmetric image encryption algorithm

An asymmetric image encryption algorithm based on integer wavelet transformation (IWT) and Rivest-Shamir-Adleman (RSA) algorithm is proposed. Firstly, two plain characteristic parameters (PCP) of the plain image are extracted and two random...

Satellite-derived prediction on habitat modelling of skipjack tuna (Katsuwonus pelamis) in the Makassar Strait, Indonesia

The Makassar Strait is one of the Indonesian Throughflow (ITF) branches that transports warm water masses from the Pacific Ocean to the Indian Ocean. These water masses have a significant impact on oceanographic parameters, which in turn af...

Author Correction: Causal networks of phytoplankton diversity and biomass are modulated by environmental context

An update on the impact of SARS-CoV-2 pandemic public awareness on cancer patients' COVID-19 vaccine compliance: Outcomes and recommendations

Background:Aside from the pandemic's negative health effects, the world was confronted with public confusion since proper communication and favorable decisions became an ongoing challenge. As a result, the public's perceptions were influenc...

Effect of companion and midwife presence during mother-infant skin-to-skin contact on breastfeeding and postpartum pain: A clinical trail

Introduction: Skin-to-skin contact between mother and baby is very important in the first minutes after birth. Despite the great emphasis on its implementation, due to the lack of manpower and the numerous responsibilities of midwives, it i...

A genome-wide association study on meat consumption in a Japanese population: the Japan Multi-Institutional Collaborative Cohort study

Recent genome-wide association studies (GWAS) on the dietary habits of the Japanese population have shown that an effect rs671 allele was inversely associated with fish consumption, whereas it was directly associated with coffee consumption...

Data describing the poor outcome associated with a breast cancer diagnosis in the post-weaning period

Postpartum breast cancer (PPBC) - which according to new data, can extend to 5–10 years after the birth - are estimated to represent 35–55% of all cases of breast cancer in women younger than 45 years. Increasing clinical evidence indicates...

Effects of environmentally relevant ibuprofen and valproic acid exposure on zebrafish behavior

Active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) are increasingly entering aquatic environments due to human and veterinary use, wastewater discharges, and inadequate waste containment, raising significant concerns for both ecosystems and human hea...
