The rise in milk adulteration and contamination, fraud incidents and improper handling necessitates effective traceability systems in the Indian dairy industry. Thus, this review investigates current trends, associated challenges, traceability and its fundamental applications to address food safety and quality issues. The paper covers the evolution of milk adulteration and contamination detection
Purpose: – We sought to develop an equation, the Alma College Estimation (ACE) equation, to estimate survival equivalent to the Duke treadmill score (DTS) and Duke nomogram. Methods: – Combinations of ST segment deviation (0, 1, 2, 3, and 4 mm), angina (0 = none, 1 = nonlimiting, and 2 = limiting), and metabolic equivalents of task (2–20) were graphed on the Duke nomogram, and the ACE equation was
The lung may be the organ whose mechanical environment needs to be most finely tuned to achieve optimal function. These needs have to be fulfilled at multiple scales, from proper force transmission between the chest wall and the parenchyma to reduction of surface tension by surfactants inside the alveoli. In addition, a plethora of mechanical loads and forces takes place within the lung, from the
This paper presents findings from a transdisciplinary study exploring conditions for Inclusive Science Education (ISE) for children aged 0–16 from communities in vulnerability risk situation. A two-step literature review was conducted to identify inclusive teaching and learning interventions. The first phase applied a Scoping Review, followed by an Integrative Literature Review focusing on communi
Previous research in various educational areas has shown that literary texts have much to contribute through offering perspectives, contexts, and ways of presenting content. The present study has a particular focus on science education. The purpose of science education is under debate, and research as well as large-scale frameworks such as PISA increasingly highlight student agency and action comp
Objective: The aim of this study was to achieve an international expert consensus on managing acute type B penetrating aortic ulcers (PAUs) and intramural haematomas (IMHs). Methods: A modified Delphi consensus process was employed to develop recommendations for the management of acute type B PAU and IMH. Surveys were sent to international experts practicing in high volume aortic centres worldwide
Hedgehog (Hh) signaling is essential for embryonic development and tissue homeostasis in organisms. However, Caenorhabditis elegans lacks canonical Hh signaling due to the absence of key components, such as smoothened (SMO) and obvious Hh ligands. Despite this, C. elegans retains Patched homologs, ptc-1 and ptc-3, which have specialized independent functions. Although ptc-1 is predominantly ex
In recognition of outstanding articles published in the Journal of Comparative Physiology A, Editors’ and Readers’ Choice Awards are conferred annually to the top papers in the categories Original Research Paper and Review/Review-History Article. The recipients of the 2026 Editors’ Choice Awards were selected based on votes cast by the Editorial Board on articles published in 2025. In the category

This paper studies cone-preserving linear discrete-time switched systems whose switching is governed by an automaton. For this general system class, we present performance analysis conditions for a broadly usable performance measure. In doing so, we generalize several known results for performance and stability analysis for switched and positive switched systems, providing a unifying perspective.
BACKGROUND: It has been suggested that osteoblasts are involved in the regulation of haematopoietic stem cells. Whether osteocalcin, which is derived from osteoblasts and is metabolically active, influences blood haemoglobin (Hb) levels is not known.OBJECTIVE: To determine whether plasma osteocalcin is a determinant of Hb in elderly men.METHODS: A total of 993 men (mean age 75.3 ± 3.2 years) parti
Aggregation of dispersed rod-like particles like nanocellulose can improve the strength and rigidity of percolated networks but may also have a detrimental effect on the foamability. However, it should be possible to improve the strength of nanocellulose foams by multivalent ion-induced aggregation if the aggregation occurs after the foam has been formed. Lightweight and highly porous foams based
In their quest for a more efficient and effective utilization of the resources allocated to engineering design projects, and thus to the overall product development project from which the current design task(s) originate, an increasing number of companies allow engineering designers to perform Computer-Based Design Analysis (CBDA) on their own – CBDA is here confined to quantitative analyses using
BACKGROUND: Evaluation of stress-induced ST deviations constitutes a central part when interpreting the findings from an exercise test. The aim of this analysis was to assess the pathophysiologic correlate of stress-induced ST elevation and ST depression with regard to presence, amount and location of myocardial ischemia as assessed by myocardial perfusion SPECT (MPS) in patients with suspected co
This chapter analyses relations and interactions among civil society organisations active at the European Union level in the prostitution policy area, which is characterised by opposite frames regarding prostitution as work, sex or violence. The study draws on the theoretical perspective of Strategic Action Fields, focuses on the International Committee on the Rights of Sex Workers in Europe (ICRS
This study aims to gain a greater insight into cycling as an element of mobility among those in later life. The characteristics and views of those who cycle, those who have never cycled, as well as those who have discontinued cycling in later life are the main focus. Malmö, a city in the south of Sweden with a strong emphasis on bicycle planning, is the study area. This study employed a mixed meth
BACKGROUND: Rehabilitation professionals are increasingly interested in the vocational rehabilitation approach called Individual Placement and Support (IPS) for persons with serious mental illness. OBJECTIVE: Since employers play a crucial supporting role for the IPS service user in the workplace, the aim of this study was to explore the experiences and views of employers in Sweden who have partic
