Response of Pedunculate Oak ( L.) to Adverse Environmental Conditions in Genetic and Dendrochronological Studies.

Pedunculate oak ( L.) is widely distributed across Europe and serves critical ecological, economic, and recreational functions. Investigating its responses to stressors such as drought, extreme temperatures, pests, and pathogens provides valuable insights into its capacity to adapt to climate change.

Broadband Normalized Difference Reflectance Indices and the Normalized Red-Green Index as a Measure of Drought in Wheat and Pea Plants.

Global climatic changes increase areas that are influenced by drought. Remote sensing based on the spectral characteristics of reflected light is widely used to detect the action of stressors (including drought) in plants. The development of methods of improving remote sensing is an important applied task for plant cultivation.

Infective endocarditis caused by - a retrospective registry-based study.

Purpose: Infective endocarditis (IE) is diagnosed using the Duke criteria, which were updated in 2023. In the Duke-ISCVID 2023 criteria, was recognised as a typical IE pathogen. This study investigates the impact of this change and compares the clinical characteristics of IE to IE caused by other pathogens.

Urinary miRNA Expression in Pre-Eclampsia During Early and Mid-Pregnancy.

Pre-eclampsia (PE) is a serious condition affecting 2-8% of pregnancies worldwide, leading to high maternal and fetal morbidity and mortality. MicroRNAs (miRNAs), small non-coding RNA molecules, have emerged as potential biomarkers for various pregnancy-related pathologies, including PE. MiRNAs in plasma and serum have been extensively studied, but urinary miRNAs remain underexplored, especially during early pregnancy.

Calm me down, or I'll leave: anxiety and institutional support among Ukrainian academic staff during wartime.

Background: Mental health conditions among academic staff are a growing global concern, driven by factors such as heavy workloads, job insecurity, and a lack of institutional support. Anxiety, one of the most common mental health problems, is particularly widespread in academia, affecting cognitive function and productivity. In Ukraine, the ongoing war has intensified these challenges, creating unprecedented working conditions for academic staff.
