The widespread use of IoT devices has led to the generation of a huge amount of data and driven the need for analytical solutions in many areas of human activities, such as the field of smart agriculture. Continuous monitoring of crop growth stages enables timely interventions, such as control of weeds and plant diseases, as well as pest control, ensuring optimal development. Decision-making systems in smart agriculture involve image analysis with the potential to increase productivity, efficiency and sustainability.

Article Synopsis
  • A study conducted between 1998 and 2020 identified 43 new species in diverse ecosystems across Europe, Asia, and the Americas, using genetic analysis to classify them into existing and new subclades within a major clade.
  • The evolutionary history of this clade includes separations before and after the breakup of Gondwana, leading to distinct groups with varying lifestyles, such as soilborne and aerial species.
  • High levels of hybridization were observed in some subclades, indicating that environmental and breeding systems may encourage the emergence of new species, revealing significant gaps in our understanding of potential pathogen threats to ecosystems.

A randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study was conducted to the influence of supplementation with a superoxide dismutase (SOD)-rich plant extract on markers of oxidative stress, zonulin levels and the performance of elite athletes. Participants were 30 international-level rowers, divided into an experimental group ( = 15) and a control group ( = 15). The rowers performed a maximal effort incremental test on a rowing ergometer at the beginning and at the end of the study.

Background: Recent literature data highlights metabolic changes in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). To explore possible early metabolic changes, we aimed to analyse the fatty acids (FA) composition of erythrocytes in newly diagnosed als patients and to see whether fatty acid levels correlate with the ALSFRS-R score or disease duration.

Methods: The severity of motor function involvement was assessed by the ALSFRS-R scale at the initial evaluation.

Background: The aim was examination of the intimamedia thickness of carotid arteries in COVID-19 infection.

Methods: In 50 patients, the thickness of the intimomedial complex (IMT) in the common carotid arteries was measured. The values were compared with the control group in 2006-9.
