Article Synopsis
  • Actinobacteria, such as the Streptomyces SH9 strain, can enhance mycorrhizal symbiosis by producing beneficial metabolites, which help plants absorb more nutrients and grow better.
  • The study focused on raspberry plants (Rubus idaeus) in Patagonia, Argentina, investigating the effects of different inoculation treatments with arbuscular mycorrhizae fungi (AM) and the Streptomyces strain in both sterile and natural soils.
  • Results indicated that natural soil yielded higher mycorrhization compared to sterile soil, with the greatest benefits seen in co-inoculated plants, suggesting that using actinobacteria could improve raspberry crop yields in an eco-friendly way.

Sulforaphane (SFN) is a bioactive compound widely studied for its potential applications in pharmaceutical, nutraceutical, and food industries since it offers health benefits due to its nature as a Phase 2 enzyme inducer. Its application in the food industry has been limited because SFN is unstable at high temperatures in an aqueous milieu. An option to increase SFN stability and protect it from thermal degradation is microencapsulation.

Research on juvenile delinquency and adolescent maladjustment indicates that the beginning of these processes is found in the relationship between multiple risk factors at the individual, family and community levels in this population. The objective of this research was to analyze the risk factors related to the transition from the child welfare system to the adolescent justice system in a group of Chilean male adolescents ( = 108), aged 14-18 years, grouped according to their membership in the child welfare system, the adolescent justice system or both systems. Through a quantitative methodology, variables associated with risk factors were examined by means of the Risk and Resource Evaluation Form FER-R and the Risk and Criminogenic Needs Inventory IRNC instruments.

Objective: Past research indicates that driving after cannabis use is relatively common. However, not all cannabis users are equally likely to drive after use; frequent cannabis users and frequent drivers are most at risk. It has been suggested that this is due to a perceived lack of impact of cannabis on driving ability.
