Myriapodology in Serbia

Summary. Myriapods, one of the most ancient and diverse groups of terrestrial arthropods, remain relatively understudied worldwide. Serbia is an exception, with a tradition of research dating back to 1882, when the first millipede and centipede species were recorded. Until the en...

Salicylate-based biocompatible ionic liquids as selective modulators of antineoplastic agents cisplatin and doxorubicin

This study evaluated the cytotoxic effects of 30 ionic liquids ILs ) on non-transformed MRC-5 cells and their potential to enhance the efficacy of antineoplastic agents (cisplatin- cisPt , doxorubicin- DOXO , and paclitaxel- PTX ) on MRC-5 and HeLa cell lines. Initial screening u...

Beyond Representation: Drawing Literacy in Architectural Education, the Case of University of Belgrade, Faculty of Architecture

Abstract In the context of first and second digital paradigm shifts, this paper explores the potential of architectural drawing in contemporary architectural education. Through examining historical sources, defining methods for their analytical reading and conducting a case study...

Influence of Infill Pattern on Ketoprofen Release Rate from 3D Printed Buccal FilmsInfluence of Infill Pattern on Ketoprofen Release Rate from 3D Printed Buccal Films

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate whether fused deposition modeling (FDM) 3D printing, combined with a simple filament soaking technique and modifications of infill pattern geometry, can modulate the release rate of ketoprofen from buccal films.Significance: This proof-of-concept approach e...

Beyond Pain Intensity: Central Sensitization and Psychosocial Symptom Burden in Women with Rheumatoid Arthritis

Background and Objectives: Persistent pain in rheumatoid arthritis (RA) may reflect mechanisms not fully captured by systemic inflammatory markers. This study estimated the frequency of elevated Central Sensitization Inventory (CSI) scores in women with RA and examined associatio...

Phytotoxicity Response of Tomato to Simulated Clomazone Residues as Affected by Soil Type and Soil Moisture

Soil-applied herbicides can pose a risk to sensitive rotational crops when biologically active residues remain in soil. This study evaluated tomato susceptibility to simulated clomazone residues in two soil types (loam and sand) under three soil moisture levels (20%, 50%, and 70%...

EUPopLink Country report - Serbia

This country report, prepared as part of the EUPopLink COST Action, explores Serbia’s political dynamics in the context of European integration and Euroscepticism. It traces the rise of the Serbian Progressive Party (SNS) since 2012 and its impact on Serbia’s political landscape,...

Estimation of Grain Yield and Quality in Awned and Awnless Wheat Genotypes Using UAV and Proximal Multispectral Sensors

This study aimed to evaluate the complementary potential of UAV-based and proximal multispectral sensing using the Plant-O-Meter (POM) sensor for the assessment of wheat grain yield and quality across different phenological stages and two growing seasons. The analysis was based o...

New development: Patronage police appointments in autocracies—lessons from Serbia

IMPACTThis article is particularly relevant for senior police leaders, public sector managers, oversight bodies, and international reform practitioners working in contexts of de-democratization and autocratization. It shows how patronage-based appointments of police leadership un...

Adenomyosis and Uterine Fibroids: Two Distinct Yet Overlapping Clinical Entities

Adenomyosis and uterine fibroids are among the most common benign uterine disorders in women of reproductive age and represent major causes of abnormal uterine bleeding, pelvic pain, and infertility. Despite their distinct histopathological features, they frequently coexist and s...

Psychological Predictors of Bystander Reactions to the Abuse of Animals and Humans

ABSTRACT While bystander reactions to violence against humans have been well studied, less is known about how people react to animal abuse. We studied whether the same psychological predictors are relevant to reactions to the abuse of animals and humans. We examined the role of D...

Inducing Room Temperature Ferromagnetism in Phyllosilicates via Iron Implantation

Abstract The modulation of intrinsic two-dimensional (2D) ferromagnetism has attracted significant attention due to its potential applications in spintronics and magnetic field sensing. However, the limited availability of intrinsically magnetic 2D materials has driven the explor...

A Reproducible MRI‐Based Pipeline for Longitudinal Tracking of Laser‐Assisted Bioprinted Cells in Three‐Dimensional Constructs

ABSTRACT Laser‐assisted bioprinting (LAB) enables precise spatial patterning of living cells within three‐dimensional constructs; however, the lack of non‐destructive, standardised methods for longitudinal evaluation remains a major limitation to construct optimisation and transl...

Synaptic Adaptations in the Amygdala During Alprazolam Withdrawal: Insights from a Female Rat Model of Benzodiazepine Withdrawal

Background/Objectives: Benzodiazepine (BZD) withdrawal is frequently associated with altered emotional reactivity and behavior. Given the higher prevalence of anxiety disorders and the more frequent use of BZDs among women, understanding the neurobiology of BZD withdrawal in fema...

The added value of Med-CORDEX coupled high-resolution regional climate models in representing sea surface temperature and marine heatwaves in the Mediterranean Sea

Marine heatwaves (MHWs) pose significant threats to Mediterranean marine ecosystems and coastal economies, with frequency and severity projected to increase under future climate change. While Med-CORDEX fully-coupled Regional Climate System Models (RCSMs) offer enhanced resolutio...

Beyond traditional criteria: CRP and fibrinogen as biomarkers of metabolic syndrome in ART-treated people living with HIV and their association with HIF-1α rs11549465

Metabolic syndrome (MS) is highly prevalent among people living with HIV (PLWH) receiving antiretroviral therapy (ART) and is driven by persistent low-grade inflammation. Hypoxia-inducible factor 1 alpha ( HIF-1α ) polymorphisms may influence inflammatory pathways underlying MS....

A polynomial GCD certificate for exact flat bands in finite-range Bloch Hamiltonians

Abstract We formulate a polynomial GCD certificate for exact flat bands in finite-range periodic tight-binding Hamiltonians. Writing the characteristic polynomial of the Bloch Hamiltonian as a Laurent polynomial P_L(z, λ) = det(λI-H_B(z)) = sum_t c_t(λ) z^t , we show that the mon...

Targeting MicroRNA-21 in Chronic Kidney Disease: Lessons from the Lademirsen Story

MicroRNA-21 (miR-21) has long been regarded as one of the most promising molecular targets in chronic kidney disease (CKD) because of its consistent upregulation across diverse renal disorders and its involvement in fibrosis, inflammation, oxidative stress, and metabolic dysfunct...
