Razlike u masno kiselinskom sastavu mesa između gološijana i dva komercijalna hibrida pilića

Chicken meat from intensive broiler production have different quality compared with meat from native chicken breeds and chicken from a free range production system. The aim of the present study was to evaluate differences in fatty acids content of meat of Naked Neck chickens rared in free range system and two commercial broiler breeds (Cobb 308 and Hybro G+) reared in conventional production system. The trial involved 100 chickens per group. Fattening period lasted 42 days for conventional system and 84 days for free range system. Breast meat of Naked Neck chicken had statistically more 16:0 content compared with Cobb 308 (p≤0.05), where in thigh meat the highest content of 16:0 was determined in Hybro G+ breed. Differences for fatty acids composition of breast meat between breeds were also established for 14:0, 17:0, 18:0, 16:1, 18:1, 18:2, 20:2, 22:1 and 22:5 fatty acid. The Naked Neck group showed the highest (p≤0.05) percentage of SFA and the Cobb 308 showed the lowest in breast meat. Thigh SFA were also significantly different (p≤0.05) between breeds, where Naked Neck chickens had the lowest and Hybro G+ the highest values. Breast MUFA were higher in Hybro G+ than in Naked Neck or Cobb 308 chickens, and thigh MUFA content had opposite trend and it was the lowest in Hybro G+ chicken. In conclusion, free ranged Naked Neck chickens have been shown to have significant different fatty acid composition compared with broiler chickens reared in conventional system.Cilj istraživanja je bio da se utvrdi razlika u masnokiselinskom sastavu mesa gološijana gajenih u slobodnom sistemu i dva komercijalna brojlerska hibrida (Cobb 308 i Hybro G+ gajenih u konvencionalnom proizvodnom sistemu. U ogledu je bilo po 100 pilića po grupi. Tov u konvencionalnom sistemu je trajao 42 dana, a u slobodnom sistemu 84 dana. Meso grudi gološijana sadržalo je statistički više 16:0 u odnosu na Cobb 308 (p≤0.05), dok je meso karabataka hibrida Hybro G+ imalo veći sadržaj 16:0 masnih kiselina. Sadržaj masnih kiselina u mesu grudi između hibrida je bio različit za 14:0, 17:0, 18:0, 16:1, 18:1, 18:2, 20:2, 22:1 i 22:5 masne kiseline. Zaključno, može se reći da je u mesu gološijana gajenih u slobodnom sistemu utvrđen statistički značajno različit sadržaj masnih kiselina u poređenju sa brojlerima gajenih u konvencionalnom sistemu

Evaluation of the universality of NMR metabolic fingerprints of schizophrenia

Schizophrenia (SCZ) is a very disabling mental disorder whose molecular basis is a combination of many factors still not completely understood, with a diagnosis based on observed behavior, the person's reported experiences and reports of others that are familiar with the person, with no objective test. Also, up to date, there are no reliable markers for monitoring the SCZ. NMR-metabolomics [1] reported in 2017 bring some of the possible markers from blood serum of SCZ individuals linked strongly with known dopamine, glutamate and GABA dysfunction in SCZ. As to verify if these findings are universal, we have compared the SCZ patients from geographically different environments and cited interesting SCZ characteristics. The first set of samples was collected in Belgrade, Serbia. 14 mental health patients (50% male) with 52.86 ± 7.27 years of age had a confirmed diagnosis of SCZ. The control group of 13 healthy individuals (69% male) had none of psychotic disorders, and individuals were 23.07 ± 2.79 years of age. Blood serum samples were collected and prepared for the analysis following the published methodology [1, 2]. NMR spectra were measured on a Bruker AVANCE III spectrometer (500.26 MHz for 1H). The spectra were acquired at 298 K with 128 scans and 32 k. The serum samples were prepared and measured as triplicates. On the other side, the group of individuals from Brazil that was matched in number, age, gender and history of mental illness with individuals from Serbia was previously described [1]. 1H NMR spectra were phase and baseline corrected using MestreNova and the lactate doublet was used as the chemical shift reference. The data were binned (0.005 ppm) in a spectral range 0.50 - 9.00 ppm, while the residual HDO peak (4.50-5.00 ppm) was excluded. Then, the data were normalized by the sum equal to 1000, the variables were mean centered and PCA and PLS-DA were performed using MATLAB. It was shown that the mental health patients have clearly different blood serum metabolites when compared to the healthy ones independently from where the samples were obtained with almost identical marker set. Also, it was shown that the samples are different metabolically when Brazilian and Serbian samples were compared. 1] L. Tasic et al., Schizophrenia Research 2017, 185, 182. [2] J.

Continuity Under a Different Name: The Outcome of Privatisation in Serbia

© 2018, © 2018 Informa UK Limited, trading as Taylor & Francis Group. Normally, privatisation is seen as beneficial. This paper considers the case of Serbia–a latecomer in the matter–where privatisation was partly a result of exogenous pressures and where the process has been deemed a failure. In Serbia, a sizeable number of privatised firms were bought by bureaucrats and politicians and all firms were subjected to a period of supervision. We argue that the design of this process allowed rent-seekers to conserve their privileges through asset-stripping, which explains the failure. In order to do so, we perform an empirical analysis of the determinants of liquidation, merger and bankruptcy of privatised firms from 2002 to 2015. We construct a novel data set from primary sources, free of the ‘survivorship bias’ and containing proxies for various types of owners, indirect signs of asset-stripping strategy and a broad range of controls. Our results indicate that firms owned by politicians faced significantly higher risks of bankruptcy, especially after the end of supervision

Disparate soil textures as a native medium for As(V) and Pb(II) separation from aqueous systems

This study investigated the use of different natural raw soil materials as low-cost adsorbents for the removal to remove As(V) and Pb(II) from aqueous systems. It deals with the effect of different soil textures, sandy loam, loam, and loamy sand, on adsorption efficiency. Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) was used to carry out the comprehensive characterization of materials, as well as scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), and liquid nitrogen porosimetry or the Brunauer–Emmett–Teller (BET). Studies were performed in a batch system; the initial concentration of examined heavy metals was 100 μg·L–1, pH varied in the range of 4–6, and the adsorbent dosage was 5–20 mg/10 mL. Sandy loam was the most efficient adsor-bent for As(V) separation, with a maximum removal efficiency of 47.5%, while the loam was the most efficient for Pb(II) separation, with a maximum removal efficiency of 94.2%. The removal efficiency was affected mainly by the adsorbent characteristics. Performed kinetic studies revealed two steps of adsorption for both investigated ions. Obtained results indicate that natural sorbents used in this work present environmentally sustainable material for As(V) and Pb(II) removal, on the one hand, and the basis for further studies on the simultaneous removal of heavy metals from water and their reduced mobility in soil, on the other. © 2022 Desalination Publications

Organic and conventional milk - insight on potential differences

Purpose - The purpose of this paper is to investigate if there is a difference in hygiene parameters of raw milk produced in organic and conventional farm of similar size. In parallel, the aim was to determine if there are differences in pasteurized organic and conventional milk samples delivered on the market. Design/methodology/approach - Raw milk samples were analyzed for aerobic colony count (ACC), somatic cell count (SCC), acidity, temperature, fat and protein content. On the other side, final products of organic and conventional pasteurized milk with 2.8 percent declared milk fat were analyzed for Raman spectroscopy, color change and sensorial difference. Findings - Results of raw milk analysis showed statistically significant differences in fat content, SCC, acidity, temperature and ACC (p (lt) 0.05). It is of note that ACC for organic milk were lower for approx. 1 log CFU/ml compared to conventional milk samples. Pasteurized organic milk samples had a significantly higher L* value than those samples originating from conventional farms, indicating that organic is "more white" compared to conventional milk. According to the results of triangle test, with 95 percent confidence no more than 10 percent of the population is able to detect a difference. Research limitations/implications - A limitation of this research is the fact that good veterinary practices at farms, namely, animal health and adequate usage of medicine for treating the animals, animal welfare and animal feeding were not analyzed. Originality/value - This study analyzed potential differences in organic and conventional milk at two important production stages of the milk chain - at receipt at dairy plant (raw milk) and perceived by consumers (final product)
