AB  - In this paper, we have systematically studied the structural, morphological, and optical properties of Ni-doped TiO2, synthesized via a simple, cost-effective electrospinning method followed by calcination at 500 C. The nanofibers with a core-shell structure were relatively homogeneous, smooth and randomly oriented, and there were no significant differences in fiber diameters due to Ni2+ content. Core loss mapping using electron energy loss spectroscopy confirmed an even distribution of titanium and relatively uniform nickel in the fibers. It was found that doping with 0.5 mol.% Ni2+ decreased the rutile content, while doping with 1 mol.% Ni2+ resulted in a pure anatase phase with a significantly increased specific surface area (36.6 m2/g). Further increase in Ni2+ content (3-10 mol.%) not only prolonged the response of TiO2 nanofibers to visible light, but also increased the specific surface area (49.5 m2/g), decreased crystallite size (7 nm), and increased rutile content in TiO2 (33 wt.%). Photoluminescence analysis revealed that doping TiO2 with different amounts of Ni2+ leads to a gradual decrease of emission spectra intensity and red shift in the maxima positions. The XPS results confirmed that as the Ni2+ content enlarged, the Ti2+ and Ti3+ content increased significantly, effectively promoting the formation of oxygen vacancies. Raman analysis showed that an increase in nickel content (3-5 mol.%) led to a decrease and shift in peak intensity due to Ti3+ formation and also the possible presence of NiTiO3 phases. HRTEM analysis showed that Ni was doped into the substitution sites of both the anatase and rutile TiO2 lattice but had a stronger influence on the distortion of the anatase phase. The photocatalytic activity of Ni-doped TiO2 nanofibers was explored by analyzing the degradation of an antibiotic, oxytetracycline, monitored in laboratory conditions under visible light irradiation. After 60 minutes of irradiation, the degradation  of OTC with 1Ni-TiO2 reached 76.4% and with 10Ni-TiO2 70.5%.

AB  - In this work we have characterized and compared chitin sourced from exoskeleton of Tenebrio molitor larvae fed with polystyrene or plastic kitchen wrap combined with bran in the ratio 1:1 with chitin sourced from larvae exoskeleton fed only with bran. Analysis of the frass by ATR-FTIR showed very similar spectra and confirmed degradation of the plastic feed components, while ATR-FTIR analysis of the exoskeleton verified the absence of any plastic residue. Deproteinization followed by demineralization produced 6.78 -5.29 % chitin, showing that plastic (polystyrene or plastic kitchen wrap) in the larvae diet resulted in heavier insect exoskeleton, but yielded slightly less chitin, with the lowest value obtained for plastic kitchen wrap in the insect diet. The deacetylation degree of 98.17-98.61% was determined from measured ATR-FTIR spectra. XRD analysis confirmed the presence of -chitin with a crystallinity index of 66.5-62% and crystallite size 4-5 nm. Thermogravimetric analysis showed similar degradation curves for all chitin samples, with two degradation steps. These results show that chitin sourced from exoskeleton of T. molitor larvae fed with plastic (polystyrene or plastic kitchen wrap) and contributing to significant biodegradation of major polluting materials can be a feasible and alternative source of chitin, further promoting a bio-circular economy.

AB  - From productive and ecological point of view, Quercus robur L. is an extremely important species and the investigation of its anatomical properties is very significant in terms of its technical and technological utilization. The paper deals with the analysis of the wood fiber characteristics (fiber length, fiber lumen width, double-cell wall thickness, Runkel ratio) of mature pedunculate oak trees in the non-flooded (Management Unit "Vinična-Žeravinac-Puk") and flooded area (Management Unit "GVO 83 b"). One of the aims of the study is to determine the wood fiber quality and the possibility of use in paper and pulp production. When the mean values of the analysed anatomical characteristics are compared, the results show slightly higher values in the non-flooded area, except for the Runkel ratio. The radial pattern of the investigated characteristics depending on the age shows growth in the non-flooded area, while the same tendency in the flooded area was found for the fiber length only. It was recorded that fiber lumen width, double-cell wall thickness and Runkel ratio decreased in the final annual rings. The wood fiber quality for use in pulp and paper production is the greatest in the juvenile zone, unlike sapwood zone, regardless of the site conditions.

AB  - Silicon (Si) is a widely recognized beneficial element in plants. With the emergence of nanotechnology in agriculture, silicon nanoparticles (SiNPs) demonstrate promising applicability in sustainable agriculture. Particularly, the application of SiNPs has proven to be a high-efficiency and cost-effective strategy for protecting plant against various biotic and abiotic stresses such as insect pests, pathogen diseases, metal stress, drought stress, and salt stress. To date, rapid progress has been made in unveiling the multiple functions and related mechanisms of SiNPs in promoting the sustainability of agricultural production in the recent decade, while a comprehensive summary is still lacking. Here, the review provides an up-to-date overview of the synthesis, uptake and translocation, and application of SiNPs in alleviating stresses aiming for the reasonable usage of SiNPs in nano-enabled agriculture. The major points are listed as following: (1) SiNPs can be synthesized by using physical, chemical, and biological (green synthesis) approaches, while green synthesis using agricultural wastes as raw materials is more suitable for large-scale production and recycling agriculture. (2) The uptake and translocation of SiNPs in plants differs significantly from that of Si, which is determined by plant factors and the properties of SiNPs. (3) Under stressful conditions, SiNPs can regulate plant stress acclimation at morphological, physiological, and molecular levels as growth stimulator; as well as deliver pesticides and plant growth regulating chemicals as nanocarrier, thereby enhancing plant growth and yield. (4) Several key issues deserve further investigation including effective approaches of SiNPs synthesis and modification, molecular basis of SiNPs-induced plant stress resistance, and systematic effects of SiNPs on agricultural ecosystem.

Optimizacijom postupka sinterovanja je utvrđeno da je termički tretman na 1300 °C tokom 5 h optimalan za dobijanje guste neporozne keramike (98 % teorijske vrednosti). Mikrostruktura je analizirana skanirajućom elektronskom mikroskopijom (SEM). Povećanje temperature sinterovanja dovodi do nastanka većih zrna, dok povećanje koncentracije indijuma do 25 % (mol.) dovodi do porasta zrna, a iznad te koncentracije nema daljeg uticaja na veličinu zrna. Izlaganjem sinterovanog uzorka atmosferi CO2 tokom 5 h na 700 °C je pokazano da indijum u potpunosti suzbija degradaciju BaCeO3 već u koncentraciji od 15 % (mol.). Električnim merenjima u atmosferi vlažnog vodonika je utvrđeno da maksimalna ukupna provodljivost iznosi 5 × 10−3 S cm–1 na 700 °C za uzorak BaCe0,75In0,25O3–δ (BCI25), zbog čega je ovaj materijal odabran kao najbolji kandidat za elektrolit gorivne ćelije na bazi oksida u čvrstom stanju. Dobijena gorivna ćelija Ni-BaCe0,75In0,25O3−δ║BaCe0,75In0,25O3−δ║LSCF-BaCe0,75In0,25O3−δ (LSCF = lantan-stroncijum-kobalt-gvožđe-oksid, La0,8Sr0,2Co0,8Fe0,2O3) je pokazala maksimalnu gustinu izlazne snage od 264 mW cm–2 na 700 °C, koristeći vlažan vodonik kao gorivo. Ovakav rezultat ukazuje na stabilnost i funkcionalnost BCI25 kao elektrolita za gorivne ćelije.
Ispitivanjem električnih svojstava BCI25 u atmosferama različitog sastava je uočeno da dolazi do brze promene impedanse prilikom promene parcijalnog pritiska vodene pare, što čini ovaj materijal pogodnim za primenu kao visokotemperaturnog senzora vodene pare. Senzorska svojstva BCI25 u vidu poroznog filma i sinterovane keramike su ispitana u temperaturnom opsegu 250 °C – 700 °C. Film debljine 30 μm, napravljen od praha kalcinisanog na 1050 °C, je pokazao osetljivost uporedivu sa osetljivošću sinterovanog uzorka, ali sa značajno kraćim vremenom odziva i oporavka. Pokazalo se da je najbolja osetljivost senzora na temperaturi od 500 °C. Osetljivost filma se postepeno smanjivala sa smanjenjem parcijalnog pritiska vodene pare pH2O, ali je bila značajna i pri parcijalnom pritisku vodene pare od 200 Pa. Pad provodljivosti je zavisio logaritamski od parcijalnog pritiska vodene pare sa nagibom od 0,52 što je blisko tipičnoj vrednosti za protonski tip provođenja u tom temperaturnom opsegu. Posle nekoliko ciklusa, test ponovne upotrebe je pokazao skoro nepromenjen odnos između impedanse u suvoj i vlažnoj atmosferi (pH2O = 2,34 kPa), što je ukazalo na dobru stabilnost i osetljivost BCI25 kao potencijalnog visokotemperaturnog senzora vodene pare.

AB  - Elevated concentrations of heavy metals result in soil degradation, a reduction in plant
yields, and a lower quality of agricultural products, which directly endangers people, animals, and
the ecosystem. The potential of three clones of Salix alba (347, NS 73/6, and B-44) and one genotype of
S. viminalis for the phytoextraction of heavy metals was investigated, with the aim of identifying the
most physiologically suitable willow genotypes for use in soil phytoremediation. The experiment was
placed on the contaminated soil substrate collected in Kolubara Mining Basin (Serbia), enriched by
high loads of heavy metal salts, and a control medium. Significant differences in the concentrations
of heavy metals were recorded between the contaminated and control plant material, especially
when it comes to nickel (Ni), copper (Cu), cadmium (Cd), and lead (Pb), confirming that S. alba and
S. viminalis are hyperaccumulator species of heavy metals. Clone 347 shows the greatest uptake of
Cd and chromium (Cr), and clone B-44 takes up these metals only to a lesser extent, while clone
NS 73/6 shows a less pronounced uptake of Cr. The roots have the greatest ability to accumulate
Ni and Pb, Cu is absorbed by all plant organs, while Cd is absorbed by the leaves. The organ that
showed the greatest ability to accumulate heavy metals was the root, which means that willows have
a limited power to translocate heavy metals to above-ground organs. The studied genotypes of S. alba
have a higher potential for the phytostabilization of Cu and Cd, as well as the phytoextraction of
Cd, compared with S. viminalis. The results confirm the assumption of differences between different
willow genotypes in terms of the ability to phytoextract certain heavy metals from soil, which is
important information when selecting genotypes for soil phytoremediation.

AB  - Ni foam is an extensively used current collector and substrate in investigations of electrochemically active materials such as supercapacitors and electrocatalysts for oxygen and hydrogen evolution reactions. This material is relatively cheap, porous, and conductive and has a large specific surface area, all of which make it a good substrate. We investigated Ni-Mg ferrites and NiMn2O4 as active materials for electrochemical energy storage. These materials, when loaded on Ni foam, gave promising capacitance values: 172 F/g (at 2 mV/s) for NiMn2O4 in 6 M KOH and 242 F/g (at 2 mV/s) for MgFe2O4 in 3 M KOH. Nevertheless, during the authors’ work, many experimental problems occurred. Inconsistencies in the results directed further investigation towards measuring the capacitance of the active materials using GCE and platinum electrodes as substrates to discover if Ni foam was the culprit of the inconsistencies. When non-nickel substrates were used, both NiMn2O4 and MgFe2O4 showed reduced capacitance. Experimental problems associated with the utilization of Ni foam as a substrate for active materials in supercapacitor electrodes are discussed here, combined with other problems already addressed in the scientific literature

AB  - BACKGROUND
Fungi absorb and solubilize a broad spectrum of heavy metals such as vanadium (V), which makes them a main route of its entry into the biosphere. V as vanadate (V5+) is a potential medical agent due to its many metabolic actions such as interaction with phosphates in the cell, and especially its insulin-mimetic activity. Antidiabetic activity of V-enriched fungi has been studied in recent years, but the biological and chemical bases of vanadium action and status in fungi in general are poorly understood, with almost no information on edible fungi. 
METHODS
This manuscript gives a deeper insight into the interaction of V5+ with Coprinellus truncorum, an edible autochthonous species widely distributed in Europe and North America. Vanadium uptake and accumulation as V5+ was studied by 51V NMR, while the reducing abilities of the mycelium were determined by EPR. 31P NMR was used to determine its effects on the metabolism of phosphate compounds, with particular focus on phosphate sugars identified using HPLC.
RESULTS
Vanadate enters the mycelium in monomeric form and shows no immediate detrimental effects on intracellular pH or polyphosphate (PPc) levels, even when applied at physiologically high concentrations (20 mM Na3VO4). Once absorbed, it is partially reduced to less toxic vanadyl (V4+) with notable unreduced portion, which leads to a large increase in phosphorylated sugar levels, especially glucose-1-phosphate (G1P) and fructose-6-phosphate (F6P).
CONCLUSIONS
Preservation of pH and especially PPc reflects maintenance of the energy status of the mycelium, i.e., its tolerance to high V5+ concentrations. Rise in G1P and F6P levels implies that the main targets of V5+ are most likely phosphoglucomutase and phosphoglucokinase(s), enzymes involved in early stages of G6P transformation in glycolysis and glycogen metabolism. This study recommends C. truncorum for further investigation as a potential antidiabetic agent.

AB  - The impact of pruning techniques on the plant growth, yield components and fruit quality
traits of substrate-grown highbush blueberry (Vaccinium corymbosum) cultivar 'Bluecrop'
were evaluated over four years (2019-2022). The orchard was planted in the village of Gruža 
(Knić municipality, Serbia) in the spring of 2017 with 5-year-old nursery plants using 113 l 
polypropylene pots spaced 0.8 m apart in a row and 3.0 m between rows (4,170 plants/ha). At 
the onset of the trial the ‘Bluecrop’ plants were 8 years old. The two pruning techniques were 
applied: i) conventional pruning (CP) - removal of the most unproductive canes at the center
of the canopy, and weak and excessively fruiting shoots from the top of bushes, and ii) 
sectorial pruning (SP) - only removal of basal canes in ¼ of the canopy each year. The 
average number of basal canes per bush was significantly lower in SP than in the CP 
treatment (14.4 vs. 17.4 canes bush-1
, respectively). SP plants had thinner canes than CP 
plants, which increased over the years of the study and reached a maximum diameter of 11.12 
mm in 2022. CP had a positive influence on fruit yield (5.98 kg bush-1
), which was associated 
with a 20% higher number of fruits per bush than in sectorial pruned plants. The fruit yield 
increased in the first three years of the study, reaching a maximum value in 2021 (7.57 kg per 
bush), whereas an opposite trend was observed in average fruit weight over the years, with the 
lowest value reached in the last harvest year (1.81 g). Fruit weight and soluble solids content 
were not affected by the pruning method, while the content of total acids, total anthocyanins 
and total phenolics were significantly higher in fruit harvested from the SP treatment (0.70%, 
37.04 mg eq mvd-3-G /100 g FW and 1.18 mg eq GA/g FW, respectively) along with the total 
antioxidant capacity (8.39 mg eq AsA /g FW).

AB  - Pharmaceutical and industrial utilization of synthetic chemicals has an immerse impact
on the environment. In that sense, novel chemicals with potential for industrial
application should be investigated for their behavior in reactions with hydroxyl radical,
simulating AOPs (Advanced Oxidation Processes). AOPs are known for being highly
effective in wastewater management and natural water remediation. In this paper,
exhaustive research on the radical scavenging activity of a newly synthesized
coumarin derivative (4HCBH), as a representative of the series of coumarin-
benzohydrazides with high antioxidative potential was conducted. This study took into
consideration the pH value range significant for practically all living organisms (pH=7.0-
8.5). According to the experimentally obtained results, the 4HCBH showed an increase
in radical scavenging activity, following the slight increase in pH values, which
suggested that the formation of anionic form of 4HCBH is responsible for its antiradical
activity. Further investigations led to the postulation of a novel mechanistic approach
called Sequential Proton Loss Electron Transfer – Radical-Radical Coupling (SPLET-
RRC), in which, by a series of steps, a new, stable compound was formed.
Furthermore, it was demonstrated that the product generated through SPLET-RRC
showed lower toxicity than the parent molecule.

AB  - The production of lettuce is very profitable due to the short vegetation period and the 
possibilities of its cultivation throughout the year. On average, the salad contains 94% water, 
2% sugar, 0.6% crude cellulose, 0.6% mineral matter and 1.2% crude protein. It is rich in 
vitamins C, B1 and B2, and many mineral elements. Great influence on the quantitative and 
qualitative properties of lettuce in addition to the variety and production conditions has a 
proper diet. The application of mineral fertilizers results in high yields, but their inadequate 
application can cause various problems such are: decrease in dry matter content, deterioration 
of salad quality, increase in soil acidity, degeneration of physical properties, increase in 
erosion and instability in land aggregates. In order to reduce the use of chemicals and increase 
the yield in the same time, the improvement of plant production is moving in the direction of 
introducing biofertilizers. In recent years there has been a trend of decreasing the usage of 
mineral nutrients, primarily nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium (Haytova, 2013), in which 
bio stimulators play a significant role. Therefore, the goal was to determine the impact of 
biofertilizers on the yield and quality of lettuce and to investigate the possibility of 
streamlining the crop by using biostimulators in lettuce nutrition. The two-factor experiment 
was set on a private plot in district Vranjes, East Sarajevo by using the randomized block in 3 
replications. The highest yield of lettuce was obtained in the variant with the application of 
the biofertilizer Bioplant flora (630.50 g – please state the unit), whereas the lowest was 
recorded in the control variant of fertilization (468.00 g). The highest percentage of dry matter 
was noted in the third variant of fertilization (Bioplant flora) in the variety Majska kraljica 
(6.45%), whilst the lowest percentage was reached in the control variant of the same variety 
(4.14%).

AB  - Cabbage is one of the most important vegetables from Brassicaceae family to which 
biofertilisers is increasingly applied following the current trend in the cabbage organic 
farming. The main goal of our study was to examine whether solely applicated biofertilisers 
enhance head weight and other morphological parameters in cabbage. Experiment with three 
Bejo Zaden cultivars ('Farao' F1, 'Tiara' F1, and 'Excalibur' F1) were conducted under the open 
field conditions from April to June 2019. Two different microbiological fertilisers, Organic 
balance and FitoHelp, were applied foliar, six times during the vegetation period, with a 
battery sprayer. After harvest, several parameters were estimated: head weight, width and 
height, number of leaves, internal core height and width. The results showed the highest 
value of head weight (1264.89 g), head width (15.06 cm), head height (15.57 cm), number of 
leaves (22.56), internal core height (8.01 cm) and internal core width (3.51 cm) in cultivar 
'Excalibur' F1 compared to other two cultivars for fresh market. Application of both fertilisers 
led to increased levels of all tested parameters compared to control. Furthermore, fertiliser 
Organic balance showed the highest impact on all tested parameters, resulting in increasing 
value of head weight by 78.6%. This study revealed that mixed culture fertiliser showed 
greater impact in terms of head weight, number of leaves, and internal core width compared 
to fertiliser containing a single strain of bacteria. Accordingly, with an exception in head and 
internal core height, all examined factors showed statistically significant impact on tested 
parameters, including their interaction.

biofertilisers is increasingly applied following the current trend in the cabbage organic 
farming. The main goal of our study was to examine whether solely applicated biofertilisers 
enhance head weight and other morphological parameters in cabbage. Experiment with three 
Bejo Zaden cultivars ('Farao' F1, 'Tiara' F1, and 'Excalibur' F1) were conducted under the open 
field conditions from April to June 2019. Two different microbiological fertilisers, Organic 
balance and FitoHelp, were applied foliar, six times during the vegetation period, with a 
battery sprayer. After harvest, several parameters were estimated: head weight, width and 
height, number of leaves, internal core height and width. The results showed the highest 
value of head weight (1264.89 g), head width (15.06 cm), head height (15.57 cm), number of

AB  - The production of lettuce is very profitable due to the short vegetation period and the 
possibilities of its cultivation throughout the year. On average, the salad contains 94% water, 
2% sugar, 0.6% crude cellulose, 0.6% mineral matter and 1.2% crude protein. It is rich in 
vitamins C, B1 and B2, and many mineral elements. Great influence on the quantitative and 
qualitative properties of lettuce in addition to the variety and production conditions has a 
proper diet. The application of mineral fertilizers results in high yields, but their inadequate 
application can cause various problems such are: decrease in dry matter content, deterioration 
of salad quality, increase in soil acidity, degeneration of physical properties, increase in 
erosion and instability in land aggregates. In order to reduce the use of chemicals and 
increase the yield in the same time, the improvement of plant production is moving in the 
direction of introducing biofertilizers. In recent years there has been a trend of decreasing the 
usage of mineral nutrients, primarily nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium (Haytova, 2013), in 
which bio stimulators play a significant role. Therefore, the goal was to determine the impact 
of biofertilizers on the yield and quality of lettuce and to investigate the possibility of 
streamlining the crop by using biostimulators in lettuce nutrition. The two-factor experiment 
was set on a private plot in district Vranjes, East Sarajevo by using the randomized block in 
3 replications. The highest yield of lettuce was obtained in the variant with the application of 
the biofertilizer Bioplant flora (630.50 g – please state the unit), whereas the lowest was 
recorded in the control variant of fertilization (468.00 g). The highest percentage of dry 
matter was noted in the third variant of fertilization (Bioplant flora) in the variety Majska 
kraljica (6.45%), whilst the lowest percentage was reached in the control variant of the same 
variety (4.14%).

AB  - Mung bean (Vigna radiata L.) is a leguminous plant cultivated mainly in south-east Asia and used as an ingredient in local cuisine. Its principal nutritional value is contained in its constituents such as starch, proteins, (poly)phenols, and natural antioxidants. Fluorescence spectroscopy is increasingly used as a method of choice for food analysis; due to the presence of different fluorophores originating from aromatic amino acids and secondary metabolites, it is useful for proteins and phenolics detection. In this study, the total protein and phenolic contents of mung bean seed extracts were determined using the Bradford method and Folin–Ciocalteu (FC) reagent, respectively. Antioxidant activity was determined using DPPH (2,2-Diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl) assay. Fluorescence spectra were recorded for a series of excitation-emission wavelengths. Further, we used the multivariate analysis on the recorded excitation-emission fluorescence matrix of the studied samples. The results showed the presence of three different fluorescence components, with the position of the emission maximum corresponding to the fluorophore of proteins (component 1 with excitation/emission peak maxima at Ex 290/Em 345 nm) and phenolics (component 2 - Ex 295/Em 395 nm and component 3 - Ex 350/Em 450 nm). This fluorescence-based method could be a useful approach for estimating the nutrient properties of leguminous food.

AB  - Food is a complex matrix of proteins, fats, minerals, vitamins, and other components. Various analytical methods are currently used for food testing. However, most of the used methods require sample preprocessing and expensive chemicals. New analytical methods are needed for quick and economic measurement of food quality and safety. Fluorescence spectroscopy is a simple and quick method to measure food quality, without sample preprocessing. This technique has been developed for food samples due to the application of a front-face measuring setup. Fluorescent compounds–fluorophores in the food samples are highly sensitive to their environment. Information about molecular structure and changes in food samples is obtained by the measurement of excitation–emission matrices of the endogenous fluorophores and by applying multivariate chemometric tools. Synchronous fluorescence spectroscopy is an advantageous screening mode used in food analysis. The fluorescent markers in food are amino acids tryptophan and tyrosine; the structural proteins collagen and elastin; the enzymes and co-enzymes NADH and FAD; vitamins; lipids; porphyrins; and mycotoxins in certain food types. The review provides information on the principles of the fluorescence measurements of food samples and the advantages of this method over the others. An analysis of the fluorescence spectroscopy applications in screening the various food types is provided.

AB  - Honey bees have a very important role in pollinating plants, in addition to honey production. Bee
diseases are one of the reasons of a significant decrease in bee colonies in the world in recent years. Honey samples originating from hives with different infestations with N. ceranae were analyzed. Total phenolic content and total protein content were determined by the Folin-Ciocalteu assay and the Bradford assay, respectively. Fluorescence spectroscopy combined with PARAFAC was used to determine the spectral components originating from proteins (PFSC1) and phenolics (PFSC2) in honey samples, and their ratios were calculated. Phenols and proteins content in the honey samples, obtained by spectrophotometric quantification, decreases with increasing infestation levels in the respective hives infected with N. ceranae. A negative correlation was obtained for the ratio of PARAFAC components PFSC2/PFSC1 and the level of infestation with N. ceranae in honey samples. These results indicate that fluorescence spectroscopy combined with PARAFAC could be used as an optical tool for non-invasive and rapid screening of honey to estimate bee health status.

AB  - Plants from the genus Achillea are rich in biologically active ingredients and are traditionally known for their healing potential.
In this research, the phytochemical profile was investigated, the content of total phenolics and flavonoids was determined and
examined the acute toxicity, antioxidant and antidiabetic activity of ethanolic, ethyl acetate and chloroform extracts of Achillea
abrotanoides (Vis.) Vis., Achillea chrysocoma Friv., Achillea grandifolia Friv. and Achillea millefolium L. Tested extracts
showed the presence of different groups of phytochemicals, while the high content of total phenolics and flavonoids was
quantified, especially in the ethanolic and ethyl acetate extracts. The acute toxicity was examined in the Artemia salina model,
where the extracts did not show significant toxicity after an incubation period of 24 hours, while after 48 hours, strong acute
toxicity was recorded in chloroform extracts of A. millefolium and A. chrysocoma. Extracts were tested for antioxidant activity
using the DPPH test, as well as antidiabetic activity based on their ability to inhibit the α-amylase. Ethanol and ethyl acetate
extracts of A. abrotanoides and A. millefolium showed a great ability to reduce DPPH radicals, while the same extracts
accomplished a significant inhibitory potential on α-amylase. Also, a correlation was established between the content of total
phenolics and flavonoids with the antioxidant activity of the extracts.

AB  - Pure phase orthorhombic pseudobrookite (Fe2TiO5) was synthesized using a
modified sol-gel method. Bulk samples were obtained by uniaxial pressing of the
obtained powder into compacts sintered at 900 oC for 2 h. A noticeable NTC
thermistor effect was noted with a B20/55 value of 5747 K and high resistivity of 45
Mcm at 25 oC. A non-linear current-voltage characteristic was observed in the
voltage range (0.2–1100 V) at room temperature (25 oC). Non-saturated (lossy) P-E
loops were obtained at both measured frequencies (100 Hz and 1 kHz) more
expressed for the higher measured frequency, with the maximal polarization of
0.291 mikroC/cm2 and remanent polarization of 0.123 mikroC/cm2 for 20 kV/cm2 and 1 kHz.
Complex impedance measured in the temperature range 20–330 oC enabled analysis
of the contribution of grain boundary and grains to the conduction mechanism. Bulk
conductivity data determined in this temperature range was analyzed using
Jonscher’s universal dielectric response model and showed that the conduction
process followed the nearest neighbor hopping conduction mechanism.

AB  - In this work, titanium dioxide (TiO2) nanofibers doped with 0.5–5 mol% 
zirconium ions (Zr4+) were synthesized by combining the sol-gel process and 
electrospinning method, and calcined at 500 °C. The morphological, structural and 
optical properties of pure and Zr-doped TiO2 nanofibers were investigated. According to 
the XRD and FTIR analyses, the addition of Zr as a dopant suppressed the 
transformation of anatase to rutile phase. Scanning electron microscopy showed that all 
fibers were smooth, fragile and randomly oriented after the calcination process. HRTEM 
analysis revealed that Zr4+ ions were incorporated at the substitutional sites in the anatase 
TiO2 crystalline lattice. The photocatalytic efficiency for degradation of methylene blue 
(MB) was examined for both pure and Zr-doped TiO2 samples. Nanofibers doped with 
1% of Zr4+ ions have shown the highest photocatalytic activity of 98%, wich can be 
explained by considering lower PL intensity in the PL spectrum of this sample, 
indicating suppressed electron-hole recombination.

AB  - Pure, samarium (Sm3+) and zirconium (Zr4+) doped titanium dioxide (TiO2) 
nanofibers were synthesized using the electrospinning method followed by 
calcination at 500 °C for 1 h. The structure, morphology and optical properties of the 
obtained nanofibers were investigated as a function of different Sm3+ and Zr4+ 
contents (0.5–5 mol%). XRD and FTIR analysis showed that addition of Sm or Zr 
suppressed the transformation of anatase to rutile. After calcination all fibers were 
smooth, fragile and randomly oriented. HRTEM analysis revealed that doping with 
Sm didn’t affect the TiO2 crystal lattice whilst Zr4+ ions replaced the substitutional 
sites in the anatase crystalline lattice. The effects of Sm3+ and Zr4+-dopant content 
and different doses of photocatalyst on the photodegradation of methylene blue 
(MB) were monitored under UV-light illumination. TiO2:0.5%Sm3+ and 
TiO2:1.0%Zr4+ nanofibers have shown the highest photocatalytic activity of 97% 
and 98% due to red shifting of the band gap towards visible light in the case of Sm 
and suppressed electron-hole recombination shown in recorded PL spectra in the 
case of Zr.
