Background: This study analyzes the effect of salt and acetic acid concentration, time, temperature and fish freezing on the activity and losses of cathepsins during the marinating of Atlantic and Baltic herrings.

Results: The highest contribution to meat general proteolytic activity was found for cathepsin D-like activity. This contribution decreased during the marinating process as a result of, among other things, cathepsin losses to brine. The methods of marinating had a significant impact on cathepsin activity losses. The average ratio of cathepsin D-like activity to L and B in brine accounted for 15:3.5:1.5, respectively. Depending on the method of calculation, cathepsin activity in brine was similar (per gram of tissue/milliliter of brine) or multiply higher (per gram protein in tissue/brine) than in the marinated herring meat. Statistical analysis demonstrated that the extent and structure of cathepsin losses were significantly correlated with the quantitative and qualitative composition of protein hydrolysis products in marinades.

Conclusion: The presented results depict new phenomena of cathepsin losses and explain their impact on the process of fish marinating. Results allow better optimization of the process of meat ripening. The high activity of aspartyl and cysteine cathepsins in brine indicates the real feasibility of their application in the food industry for novel food design. © 2016 Society of Chemical Industry.

Small rodents can cause problems on farms such as infrastructure damage, crop losses or pathogen transfer. The latter threatens humans and livestock alike. Frequent contacts between wild rodents and livestock favour pathogen transfer and it is therefore important to understand the movement patterns of small mammals in order to develop strategies to prevent damage and health issues.

Background: Assessing financial capacity in older adults with memory loss is becoming an increasingly important area so as to minimize wealth loss and cases of financial exploitation. The National Academy of Sciences has recommended "real world" assessment of financial management and yet this continues to be lacking. The WALLET (Wealth Accumulation and Losses in Late-life Early Cognitive Transitions) study provides a new "real world" approach to assessing financial management.

Multimorbidity of common diseases in children and adolescents refers to the coexistence of two or more common diseases or chronic health problems in the same individual. In recent years, the multimorbidity of common diseases in children and adolescents has become increasingly serious, which has enormously increased disease burden and socio-economic losses. These diseases typically share similar influencing factors, such as adverse environmental factors, unhealthy diets, lack of outdoor activities and physical exercise, sedentary lifestyle, excessive use of electronic devices, and disturbed sleep rhythms.

Article Synopsis
  • Chickpeas and apricots are economically significant crops that suffer from severe fungal infections, traditionally managed with chemical fungicides that pose health and environmental risks.
  • Myco-synthesized (from fungi) and bacteria-synthesized zinc oxide (ZnO) nanoparticles were compared for their antifungal effectiveness against specific pathogens affecting these crops.
  • Results showed that myco-synthesized ZnO nanoparticles exhibited better antifungal properties at lower concentrations, highlighting the need for further research to enhance their application in agriculture as sustainable alternatives to chemical fungicides.

This paper proposed a hybrid switched-capacitor inverter to reduce the number of components and achieve automatic capacitor balancing. The proposed structure combines a switched capacitor (SC) unit with a flying capacitor (FC). Significant advantages of the proposed design include a reduced number of components, simple control, voltage boosting capability, and limitation of the inrush current during capacitor charging.
