GIS-based spatial modeling of landslide susceptibility using BWM-LSI: A case study – city of Smederevo (Serbia)
Published in Open Geosciences
Landslides and slope processes constitute one of the most frequent natural hazards in valleys near major rivers and mountainous regions. The surface layer, characterized by its relatively loose composition, is prone to sliding due to a combination of distinct natural and human-related factors. Specific sections along the right bank of the Danube Ri...
Development and characterization of new ecological adsorbents based on cardoon wastes: Application to brilliant green ad...
Published in Open Chemistry
This study aimed to develop four adsorbents, neat and activated, from the cardoon leaves and stems. The developed adsorbents were first analyzed to determine the surface acid–base properties using Boehm’s method, pH at zero charge point, iodine and methylene blue values, and moisture, ash, and fixed carbon contents. They were also characterized by ...
Nutrition, Other Environmental Influences, and Genetics in the Determination of Human Stature
Linear growth during three distinct stages of life determines attained stature in adulthood: namely, in utero, early postnatal life, and puberty and the adolescent period. Individual host factors, genetics, and the environment, including nutrition, influence attained human stature. Each period of physical growth has its specific biological and envi...
Individuals’ perceptions of the factors linked to everyday soft drink consumption among university students: qualitative...
Published in Frontiers in Nutrition
Background Soft drink consumption is continuing to grow worldwide, posing an increasing threat to people’s health and general wellbeing. Consequently, we must understand the factors driving soft drink consumption to support improvements to nutrition. This paper adopts a qualitative research approach to explore individuals’ perceptions of the factor...
Chromosome-level genome assemblies for two quinoa inbred lines from northern and southern highlands of Altiplano where q...
...Published in Frontiers in Plant Science
Quinoa is emerging as a key seed crop for global food security due to its ability to grow in marginal environments and its excellent nutritional properties. Because quinoa is partially allogamous, we have developed quinoa inbred lines necessary for molecular genetic analysis. Our comprehensive genomic analysis showed that the quinoa inbred lines fa...

Applying an ELSI lens to real-world data and novel genomic insights for personalized mental healthcare
Published in Frontiers in Genetics
Improving the understanding of the complex relationship between genetic predispositions, environmental influences, and sociocultural factors in the development and progression of mental illness is crucial for optimizing treatment efficacy and addressing longstanding health disparities. This paper discusses the ethical, legal, and social implication...
Impact of environmental conditions on English Channel long-finned squid (Loligo spp.) recruitment strength and spatial l...
Published in Frontiers in Marine Science
The English Channel has the highest long-finned squid landings in the Northeast Atlantic, making squid one of the most valuable resources exploited by demersal fisheries operating in this area. This resource consists of two short-lived long-finned squid species: Loligo forbesii and L. vulgaris, which have a similar appearance (they are not distingu...
Subnational Environmental Policy: Trends and Issues
Policies relevant to many key sociological processes are often subnational, enacted at the regional, state/provincial, and/or local levels. This applies notably in the politics of the environmental state, where public and private subnational environmental policies (SNEPs) have major consequences for managing climate change, addressing environmental...
