Oxidative Stress Biomarkers in Oncology: Biological Mechanisms, Clinical Utility, and Organizational Considerations

Oxidative stress is a fundamental driver of carcinogenesis and tumor progression, arising from an imbalance between reactive oxygen or nitrogen species and antioxidant defense mechanisms. This redox disruption contributes to genomic instability, metabolic reprogramming, inflammat...

Bond characteristics of GFRP and BFRP bars embedded in Self-Compacting Concrete with different substitutes

This study investigates the bond behavior of GFRP, BFRP, and steel bars in Self-Compacting Concrete (SCC) with and without cement replacements. Three specific SCC mixtures were developed: a control batch using only Portland Cement (PC), one utilizing Fly Ash (FA) as a partial PC...

Organ specific chrysanthemum biochar for circular waste reuse and sustainable plant production

Abstract Biochar (BC), a low-cost, carbon-rich material produced from a wide variety of biomass sources, is gaining increasing attention in horticultural practice. There is little research on the use of chrysanthemum residues in BC production, especially in the circular productio...

Microbiological Risks in Organic Farming: Implications for Food Safety, Farmers’ Health and Agroecosystem Functioning

Environmental microbiology provides essential tools for understanding and managing biological risks in sustainable agricultural systems. Organic farming, which prioritises closed nutrient cycles, soil biological activity and reduced reliance on synthetic inputs, exemplifies the p...

Stokes-Type Entropic Force Driving Nanoscale Phonon-Mediated Superlubricity in 2D Materials

This Communication addresses a superlubric state in graphene-type layers in nanoscale conditions. We focus on the superlubric state based on the twofold generation and propagation of (thermal) phonons. In the first instance, phonon propagation has a local mode in the graphene-typ...

RED-S IN ENDURANCE ATHLETES — SKELETAL CONSEQUENCES OF CHRONIC LOW ENERGY AVAILABILITY

Background. Relative Energy Deficiency in Sport (RED-S) is an increasingly recognized health problem among endurance athletes. The main mechanism leading to the development of RED-S is low energy availability (LEA), resulting from insufficient energy intake in relation to exercis...

Surgical Ablation for Atrial Fibrillation During Minimally Invasive Mitral Valve Surgery: Risk Dependencies and Long-Term Survival

Objective: Atrial fibrillation (AF) is a common finding among patients with mitral valve disease, with a growing body of evidence showing survival benefits associated with surgical ablation (SA). However, a lack of data persists regarding the safety and survival after SA concomit...

Fuzzy Modeling as a Tool Supporting the Energy Policy of Selected Municipalities (Poland)

Energy planning should focus on actions to save energy and reduce consumption while also implementing renewable energy sources to support sustainable urban development. In addition to global regulations, individual countries also have documents that facilitate energy management a...

Deep learning method for wear assessment and regeneration support in gear hobbing tools

Efficient monitoring and regeneration of cutting tools are essential for maintaining product quality and process continuity in modern manufacturing environments. Consistent and robust assessment of tool wear remains a practical challenge, particularly when evaluations rely heavil...

Comparison of the Mechanical Properties of 3D-Printed Materials PET–G and rPET–G

The use of recycled polymers in additive manufacturing has emerged as a promising strategy for reducing the environmental impact of polymer processing. However, the influence of recycling on monotonic and fatigue properties of polymeric materials manufactured by fused deposition...
