AB  - Persons with disabilities often face barriers that hinder their ability to access information effectively. This study presents results of a survey which was conducted in the second half of 2022, on the topic of the accessibility of information for persons with disabilities in Serbia, as well as their means of communication. A convenience sample of 111 individuals with physical and/or sensory disabilities, with basic digital literacy, aged 18 to 59, was surveyed through the mediation of associations of persons with disabilities. The findings reveal the usage patterns, preferences, and challenges faced by individuals with disabilities in accessing information. It has been found that the internet (99.10%), social networks (91.89%), and specialized platforms (79.28%) are prominent sources of information. Although specialized applications for communication and telephone communication are widely used, personal contact communication (96.40% very often or often) is still the prevalent method of communication. Public institutions and state authorities are perceived as inadequately adapted to the needs of individuals with disabilities. The findings underscore the need for continued efforts to improve accessibility infrastructure and implement inclusive design principles to bridge the information gap for individuals with disabilities in Serbia.
AB  - Uspostavljanje komunikacije predstavlja tranziciju iz individualnog ka kolektivnom, što je važan korak u procesu formiranja uređenog društva. Postizanje zadovoljavajućeg nivoa komunikacije za sve članove društva je imperativ u 21. veku. Poznato je da osobe sa invaliditetom otežano ostvaruju komunikaciju sa okolinom, i da se često suočavaju sa preprekama koje ih sprečavaju da efikasno pristupe informacijama. U tom smislu obaveza svake države je da obezbedi zakonsku regulativu za omogućavanje pristupačnosti informacija. U Republici Srbiji postoji zakonski i tehnološki okvir kojim se reguliše pristupačnost. Ova studija predstavlja rezultate istraživanja o dostupnosti informacija osobama sa invaliditetom u Srbiji, i o obrascima njihove komunikacije. Na osnovu istraživanja koje je izvršeno posredstvom udruženja osoba sa invaliditetom na uzorku od 111 osoba sa fizičkim i/ili senzornim invaliditetom starosti od 18 do 59 godina dat je uvid u obrasce komunikacije i obrasce pristupa informacijama, prioritete koje ove osobe imaju u pogledu komunikacije i pristupa informacijama, i izazove sa kojima se suočavaju. Predstavljeni su rezultati istraživanja o dostupnosti sredstava informisanja, i o mogućnostima da osobe sa invaliditetom poboljšaju svoju situaciju u pogledu pristupa informacijama. Utvrđeno je da su internet (99,10%), društvene mreže (91,89%) i specijalizovane platforme (79,28%) prominentni izvori informacija. Iako su specijalizovane aplikacije za komunikaciju i telefonska komunikacija u širokoj upotrebi, lični kontakt (96,40% je odgovorilo sa vrlo često i često) je i dalje preovlađujući način komunikacije. Javne institucije i državni organi se percipiraju kao neadekvatno prilagođeni potrebama osoba sa invaliditetom. Ovi rezultati naglašavaju potrebu za sprovođenjem kontinuiranih napora sa ciljem poboljšanja infrastrukture u Srbiji u cilju obezbeđivanja pristupačnosti, i potrebu za primenom principa inkluzivnog dizajna kako bi se premostio jaz između osoba sa invaliditetom i osoba koje nemaju invaliditet, u pogledu pristupa informacijama.

AB  - Ferroelectric thin films based on the polymer material
polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) can potentially have a wide range
of applications, due to the strong connection between their
electrical, mechanical and thermal properties. PVDF thin films
can be applied in memory devices. The most widespread
application of these elements is in piezoelectric sensors, actuators
and energy harvesters from mechanical vibrations and
mechanical impacts (the so-called "energy harvesting"). A very
important operation in the production and testing of thin PVDF
films is the polarization of the ferroelectric domains in the
material. Similar to the case of ferromagnetic materials, after the
production of the polymer material, the polarization domains in
it are oriented stochastically, so it is necessary to perform their
orientation by direction and course. For this reason, the
ferroelectric sample is exposed to relatively high electric field
strengths of (30÷100) kV/cm in order to orient and direct the
domains. The paper presents the practical realization of the
laboratory experimental setup of the system for high-voltage
polarization of ultra-thin PVDF films by means of a high-voltage
corona. Controlled corona is achieved in a hermetically sealed,
temperature controlled and electrically isolated chamber. Finally,
some key experimental results concerning high-voltage
polarization are given.

AB  - Sve veći globalni problem predstavlja zagađenje vodenih sistema razičitim otpadnim
materijama, pre svega fenolnim jedinjenjima i organskim bojama ispuštenim iz mnogobrojnih
industrijskih postrojenja. S obzirom da su fenoli označeni kao najčešći zagađivači voda širom
sveta, pronalazak metoda za njihovo uklanjanje predstavlja jedan od najvećih izazova
savremene naučne zajednice. Različiti biokatalizatori su pronašli primenu u ove svrhe, a među
njima je posebno mesto zauzela peroksidaza iz rena (HRP). Kao najveće ograničenje ove metode
navodi se inaktivacija enzima, koja se može prevazići njegovom imobilizacijom na različitim
nosačima.
U ovom radu su razvijene metode za uklanjanje fenola i degradaciju tekstilnih boja
imobilizovanom peroksidazom iz rena i ćelijskim zidovima sa lignin-peroksidazom (LiP). Kao
nosači za imobilizaciju su korišćeni oksidovani alginati modifikovani tiraminom, makroporozni
kopolimeri različite veličine pora, kao i neorganski glineni nosač – sepiolit.
Tiramin-alginatne mikro-kuglice su iskorišćene za enkapsulaciju peroksidaze iz rena
primenom kuplovane emulziono-polimerizacione reakcije. Ispitan je uticaj stepena
modifikacije alginata tiraminom na specifičnu aktivnost enzima. Ustanovljeno je da sa
povećanjem koncentracije perjodata korišćenog za oksidaciju alginata od 2,5 do 20 mol% pre
modifikacije tiraminom dolazi do postepenog povećanja specifične aktivnosti.
Imobilizovana HRP je potom upotrebljena za uklanjanje fenola u šaržnom reaktoru.
Optimizovani su reakcioni uslovi sa ciljem postizanja visokog stepena efikasnosti i poboljšane
kontinualne primene. Za interno generisanje vodonik-peroksida (H2O2) tokom oksidacije
fenola primenjen je sistem sastavljen od glukoze i glukoza-oksidaze. Znatno veći stepen
uklanjanja fenola (96%) iz reakcionog sistema za 6 h je postignut primenom interne dostave
H2O2, dok se njegovim direktnim dodavanjem značajno smanjuje efikasnost uklanjanja fenola
na 42%. Primenom glukoza-oksidaze u koncentraciji od 0,187 U/mL i 4 mmol/L glukoze
postiže se najveća efikasnost, kao i korišćenjem 20 mol% oksidovanog i modifikovanog tiraminalginata
za enkapsulaciju HRP.
Degradacija tekstilnih boja ostvarena je i primenom ćelijskih zidova sa ligninperoksidazom
(LiP) zarobljenih u kalcijum-alginatnom hidrogelu. LiP je imobilizovana na
tiramin-alginatne mikro-kuglice. Inkubacijom enkapsuliranih ćelijskih zidova u rastvorima
boja Evans Blue i Amido Black 10B tokom 48 h i merenjem njihove aktivnosti u određenim
vremenskim intervalima uočeno je postepeno povećanje procenta degradacije sa periodom
inkubacije. Nakon maksimalne inkubacije 86% boje Evans Blue se dekolorizuje, dok taj
procenat za Amido Black 10B iznosi 84%. Ponovnom upotrebom ćelijskih zidova sa LiP
ostvarena je efikasna degradacija navedenih boja tokom 12 uzastopnih ciklusa.
Makroporozni kopolimeri sastavljeni od glicidil metakrilata i etilen glikol dimetakrilata
veličine čestica od približno 2 μm i različite veličine pora (150–310 nm) su sintetisani
disperzionom polimerizacijom i modifikovani etilendiaminom. Dve različite metode,
perjodatna i glutaraldehidna, su korišćene za imobilizaciju peroksidaze iz rena na ovim
polimerima.
Aktivnost imobilizovanog enzima je u direktnoj vezi sa veličinom pora na nosaču
korišćenom za imobilizaciju. Imobilizacijom HRP perjodatnom metodom na poli(GMA-co-

AB  - A growing global concern is the pollution of water courses with various waste materials,
primarly phenolic compounds and organic dyes released from numerous industrial plants.
Since phenols are designated as the most common water pollutants worldwide, finding
methods for their removal is nowadays one of the biggest challenges for the broad scientific
community. To this end, various biocatalysts have been used, among them Horseradish
peroxidase (HRP) has been in prime position. The main limitation of this method is an enzyme
inactivation, which can be overcome by its immobilization on different carriers.
In this study, various methods for the removal of phenol and degradation of textile dyes by
immobilized Horseradish peroxidase and cell walls with lignin peroxidase (LiP) were
developed. Oxidized alginates modified with tyramine, macroporous copolymers with different
pore characteristics, as well as inorganic clay mineral – sepiolite, were used as carriers in
immobilization.
Tyramine-alginate micro-beads were used for the encapsulation of peroxidase by coupled
emulsion polymerization reaction. An effect of a degree of the alginate modification by tyramine
on the specific activity of enzyme was examined. A gradual increase in the specific activity, with
an increase in the concentration of periodate used for oxidation of alginate from 2.5 to 20 mol%
prior to modification by tyramine, was observed.
Immobilized HRP was then used for the removal of phenol in a batch reactor. Reaction
conditions were optimized with an aim of achieving a high degree of efficiency and improved
reusability. A system composed of glucose and glucose oxidase was used for internal generation
of hydrogen peroxide (H2O2). When internal delivery of H2O2 was employed, 96% of phenol was
removed from the reaction system in 6 h, whereas its straightforward addition significantly
reduced the efficiency of phenol removal (42%). The highest efficiency was achieved by using
glucose oxidase at the concentration of 0.187 U/mL and 4 mmol/L of glucose, as well as by using
20 mol% periodate-oxidized and modified tyramine-alginate for HRP encapsulation.
Degradation of textile dyes was performed by employing cell walls with lignin peroxidase
(LiP) entrapped in a calcium-alginate hydrogel. LiP was also imobillized on tryamine-alginate
micro-beads. By incubating encapsulated cell walls in Evans Blue and Amido Black 10B dye
solutions for 48 h and measuring their activity in certain time intervals, a gradual increase in
the degree of degradation with incubation period was observed. Maximal incubation in Evans
Blue dye leads to 86% decolorization, whereas that percent for Amido Black 10B is 84%
Efficient degradation of previously mentioned dyes was achieved within 12 consecutive cycles
by reusing cell walls with LiP.
Macroporous copolymers composed of glycidyl methacrylate and ethylene glycol
dimethacrylate with a particle size of approximately 2 μm and different pore sizes (150–
310 nm) were synthesized by dispersion polymerization and modified with ethylenediamine.
Two methods, periodate and glutaraldehyde method, were used for the immobilization of horseradish peroxidase onto these polymers.
The activity of immobilized enzyme is affected by the pore size of the carrier used for
immobilization. By immobilizing HRP using the periodate method onto poly (GMA-co-EGDMA)
copolymers with the pore size diameter of 234 nm specific activity of 9.65 U/g of carrier was
obtained, whereas HRP immobilized onto carrier with the pore size diameter of 297 nm showed
specific activity of 8.94 U/g of carrier. Also, the stability of immobilized peroxidase at 65 °C, as
well as in an organic solvent, was increased.
Peroxidase immobilized onto macroporous copolymer with a pore size diameter of 234 nm
and the highest specific activity also showed a good stability at different pH values, as well as
the increased Km value during the oxidation of pyrogallol. Eighty percent of the initial activity
was retained after 5 consecutive cycles of pyrogallol oxidation. After storing the immobilized
enzyme for 14 days in appropriate buffer, 98% of its activity was preserved. A significant
efficiency of phenol removal under optimized conditions for the delivery of hydrogen peroxide
into the reaction mixture was achieved by applying HRP immobilized onto copolymer with the
pore diameter of 234 nm.
Sepiolite was used for the adsorption of native HRP and HRP oxidized with sodium
periodate. Different amounts of both enzymes were added per gram of sepiolite carrier.
Increase in the amount of peroxidase leads to the increase in the specific activity of immobilized
enzyme. The highest activity was achieved when 15 mg of periodate-oxidized peroxidase was
immobilized per gram of sepiolite. Temperature and operational stabilities of immobilized
peroxidases were tested. Oxidized peroxidase retained 42% of initial activity after
4 consecutive cycles of pyrogallol oxidation.

abstract = "Sve veći globalni problem predstavlja zagađenje vodenih sistema razičitim otpadnim
materijama, pre svega fenolnim jedinjenjima i organskim bojama ispuštenim iz mnogobrojnih
industrijskih postrojenja. S obzirom da su fenoli označeni kao najčešći zagađivači voda širom
sveta, pronalazak metoda za njihovo uklanjanje predstavlja jedan od najvećih izazova
savremene naučne zajednice. Različiti biokatalizatori su pronašli primenu u ove svrhe, a među
njima je posebno mesto zauzela peroksidaza iz rena (HRP). Kao najveće ograničenje ove metode
navodi se inaktivacija enzima, koja se može prevazići njegovom imobilizacijom na različitim
nosačima.
U ovom radu su razvijene metode za uklanjanje fenola i degradaciju tekstilnih boja
imobilizovanom peroksidazom iz rena i ćelijskim zidovima sa lignin-peroksidazom (LiP). Kao
nosači za imobilizaciju su korišćeni oksidovani alginati modifikovani tiraminom, makroporozni
kopolimeri različite veličine pora, kao i neorganski glineni nosač – sepiolit.
Tiramin-alginatne mikro-kuglice su iskorišćene za enkapsulaciju peroksidaze iz rena
primenom kuplovane emulziono-polimerizacione reakcije. Ispitan je uticaj stepena
modifikacije alginata tiraminom na specifičnu aktivnost enzima. Ustanovljeno je da sa
povećanjem koncentracije perjodata korišćenog za oksidaciju alginata od 2,5 do 20 mol% pre
modifikacije tiraminom dolazi do postepenog povećanja specifične aktivnosti.
Imobilizovana HRP je potom upotrebljena za uklanjanje fenola u šaržnom reaktoru.
Optimizovani su reakcioni uslovi sa ciljem postizanja visokog stepena efikasnosti i poboljšane
kontinualne primene. Za interno generisanje vodonik-peroksida (H2O2) tokom oksidacije
fenola primenjen je sistem sastavljen od glukoze i glukoza-oksidaze. Znatno veći stepen
uklanjanja fenola (96%) iz reakcionog sistema za 6 h je postignut primenom interne dostave
H2O2, dok se njegovim direktnim dodavanjem značajno smanjuje efikasnost uklanjanja fenola
na 42%. Primenom glukoza-oksidaze u koncentraciji od 0,187 U/mL i 4 mmol/L glukoze
postiže se najveća efikasnost, kao i korišćenjem 20 mol% oksidovanog i modifikovanog tiraminalginata
za enkapsulaciju HRP.
Degradacija tekstilnih boja ostvarena je i primenom ćelijskih zidova sa ligninperoksidazom
(LiP) zarobljenih u kalcijum-alginatnom hidrogelu. LiP je imobilizovana na
tiramin-alginatne mikro-kuglice. Inkubacijom enkapsuliranih ćelijskih zidova u rastvorima
boja Evans Blue i Amido Black 10B tokom 48 h i merenjem njihove aktivnosti u određenim
vremenskim intervalima uočeno je postepeno povećanje procenta degradacije sa periodom
inkubacije. Nakon maksimalne inkubacije 86% boje Evans Blue se dekolorizuje, dok taj
procenat za Amido Black 10B iznosi 84%. Ponovnom upotrebom ćelijskih zidova sa LiP
ostvarena je efikasna degradacija navedenih boja tokom 12 uzastopnih ciklusa.
Makroporozni kopolimeri sastavljeni od glicidil metakrilata i etilen glikol dimetakrilata
veličine čestica od približno 2 μm i različite veličine pora (150–310 nm) su sintetisani
disperzionom polimerizacijom i modifikovani etilendiaminom. Dve različite metode,
perjodatna i glutaraldehidna, su korišćene za imobilizaciju peroksidaze iz rena na ovim
polimerima.
Aktivnost imobilizovanog enzima je u direktnoj vezi sa veličinom pora na nosaču
korišćenom za imobilizaciju. Imobilizacijom HRP perjodatnom metodom na poli(GMA-co-
EGDMA) veličine pora od 234 nm dobijena je specifična aktivnost od 9,65 U/g nosača, dok je
HRP na kopolimeru sa porama od 297 nm imala specifičnu aktivnost 8,94 U/g nosača. Takođe
je došlo i do povećanja stabilnosti imobilizovane peroksidaze na 65 °C u vodenom rastvoru kao
i u organskom rastvaraču.
Dobru stabilnost na različitim pH vrednostima, kao i povećanu Km vrednost tokom
oksidacije pirogalola, pokazala je peroksidaza imobilizovana na makroporoznom kopolimeru

AB  - Studying the membrane physiology of filamentous fungi is key to understanding their interactions with the environment and crucial for developing new therapeutic strategies for disease-causing pathogens. However, their plasma membrane has been inaccessible for a micron-sized patch-clamp pipette for pA current recordings due to the rigid chitinous cell wall. Here, we report the first femtosecond IR laser nanosurgery of the cell wall of the filamentous fungi, which enabled patch-clamp measurements on protoplasts released from hyphae. A reproducible and highly precise (diffraction-limited, submicron resolution) method for obtaining viable released protoplasts was developed. Protoplast release from the nanosurgery-generated incisions in the cell wall was achieved from different regions of the hyphae. The plasma membrane of the obtained protoplasts formed tight and high-resistance (GΩ) contacts with the recording pipette. The entire nanosurgical procedure followed by the patch-clamp technique could be completed in less than 1 hour. Compared to previous studies using heterologously expressed channels, this technique provides the opportunity to identify new ionic currents and to study the properties of the ion channels in the protoplasts of filamentous fungi in their native environment.

AB  - In this paper, the variability of morphological (stem height, stem basal diameter, proportion of pith, wood and bark) and wood anatomical characteristics (fiber length, fiber diameter, fiber lumen diamater, double cell-wall thickness, vessel diameter, wood rays width and height) of three Salix alba clones (B-44, 347 and NS 73/6) and one Salix viminalis clone both in the control plot and in the site contaminated with a mixture of heavy metals (As, Cd, Cr, Cu, Ni, Pb) was investigated. The observed results showed that individuals of all four clones had significantly higher average values of stem height and stem basal diameter at the control plot compared to the polluted site. As for the proportion of pith, bark and wood, heavy metals caused an increase in the share of pith and a decrease in the share of bark and wood in all clones with the exception of clone NS 73/6. The analysis of wood fiber dimensions showed that the values of all parameters were higher at the control site with the exception of fiber lumen diameter where higher values were observed for clones B-44 and NS 73/6 at the polluted site. Higher values of vessel diameter were recorded for all clones at the control plot, while wood rays width of all individuals was greater at the contaminated site. Regarding the wood rays height, only Salix viminalis showed higher value at the polluted site. These results confirmed that pollution-induced heavy metal stress significantly altered the morphological and wood anatomical characteristics of all researched clones and that it may affect their utility properties.

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  - Negative temperature coefficient (NTC) thermistor semiconducting oxides, such as ferrites used as resistance-based temperature sensors, remain in research focus, as they are basic building blocks of many electronic systems. In this work we have investigated NTC thermistor properties of a ferrite composite (MnFe2O4/Fe2O3) ceramics obtained by solid-state sintering in the form of a bulk sample with a diameter of 8.7 mm and thickness of 1.8 mm. We obtained a thermal (material) constant (B10,90) of 4390 K from measured impedance at 100 Hz in the temperature range 10 - 90 C and temperature sensitivity (alpha) of -4.87 %/K at 25 oC, that was within the range required for a commercial NTC thermistor material (B between 2000 and 5000,  between -2 and 6% K at room temperature -25 oC). The influence of relative humidity (RH) in the range 30-90% at 25 and 50 C on impedance in the frequency range 50 Hz – 1 MHz was monitored. The obtained results showed that at 100 Hz the change in impedance was from 8.15 to 3.56 Mohm at 25 oC and 2.81 to 1.65 Mohm for RH from 30 to 90%, indicating that the humidity influence was reduced compared to other NTC thermistor materials. Future work will focus on applying this ferrite composite in flexible printed temperature sensors.

AB  - Emission  of greenhouse gases and infectious diseases caused by improper agro-waste disposal has gained significant attention in recent years. To overcome these hurdles, agro-waste can be valorized into valuable bioactive compounds that act as reducing or stabilizing agents in the synthesis of nanomaterials. Herein, we report a simple circular approach using Citrus reticulata Blanco (C. reticulata) waste (peel powder/aqueous extract) as green reducing and capping/stabilizing agents and Zn nitrate/acetate precursors to synthesize ZnO nanoparticles (NPs) with efficient antimicrobial and photocatalytic activities. The obtained NPs crystallized in a hexagonal wurtzite structure and differed clearly in their morphology. UV-vis analysis of the nanoparticles showed a characteristic broad absorption band between 330 and 414 nm, belonging to ZnO NPs. Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy of ZnO NPs exhibited a Zn–O band close to 450 cm−1. The band gap values were in the range of 2.84-3.14 eV depending on the precursor and agent used. The crystallite size obtained from size-strain plots from measured XRD patterns was between 7 and 26 nm, with the strain between 16 and 4%.  The high crystalline nature of obtained ZnO NPs was confirmed by clear ring diffraction patterns and d-spacing values of the observed lattice fringes. ZnNPeelMan_400 and ZnNExtrMan have shown good stability as the Zeta potential was found to be around -20 mV and reduced particle aggregation. Photoluminescence analysis revealed different defects belonging to oxygen vacancies (VO+ and VO++) and zinc interstitial (Zni) sites. The presence of oxygen vacancies on the surface of ZnAcExtrMan_400 and ZnAcPeelMan_400 increased antimicrobial activity, specifically against gram-negative bacteria Escherichia coli (E.coli) and Salmonella enteritidis (S. enteritidis). ZnNextrMan with a minimal inhibitory concentration of 0.156 mg/ml was more effective against gram-positive bacteria, Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus) revealing a high influence of particle size and shape on antimicrobial activity. In addition, the photocatalytic activity of the ZnO NPs was examined by assessing the degradation of acid green dye in an aqueous solution under UV light irradiation. ZnAcPeelMan_400 exhibited excellent photocatalytic activity (94%) within 90 minutes after irradiation compared to other obtained ZnO NPs.

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  - 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 obtained results indicate that Ni-doped TiO2 nanofibers are good candidates for photocatalytic applications.

AB  - Infections with phytoplasma present one of the most significant biotic stresses influencing
plant health, growth, and production. The phytoplasma ‘Candidatus Phytoplasma solani’ infects
a variety of plant species. This pathogen impacts the physiological and morphological characteristics of plants causing stunting, yellowing, leaf curling, and other symptoms that can lead to significant economic losses. The aim of this study was to determine biochemical changes in peony (Paeonia tenuifolia L.), mint (Mentha × piperita L.), and dill (Anethum graveolens L.) induced by ‘Ca. Phytoplasma solani’ in Serbia as well as to predict the impact of the biotic stress using artificial neural network (ANN) modeling. The phylogenetic position of the Serbian ‘Ca. Phytoplasma solani’ strains originated from the tested hosts using 16S rRNA (peony and carrot strains) and plsC (mint and dill strains) sequences indicated by their genetic homogeneity despite the host of origin. Biochemical parameters significantly differed in asymptomatic and symptomatic plants, except for total anthocyanidins contents in dill and the capacity of peony and mint extracts to neutralize superoxide anions and hydroxyl radicals, respectively. Principal Component Analysis (PCA) showed a correlation between different chemical parameters and revealed a clear separation among the samples. Based on the ANN performance, the optimal number of hidden neurons for the calculation of TS, RG, PAL, LP, NBT, •OH, TP, TT, Tflav, Tpro, Tant, DPPH, and Car was nine (using MLP 8-9-13), as it produced high r2 values (1.000 during the training period) and low SOS values. Developing an effective early warning system for the detection of plant diseases in different plant species is critical for improving crop yield and quality.

AB  - Healthy dietary habits with abundant fruit consumption may reduce prevalence and positively affect development and progression of various chronic diseases including obesity and insulin-resistance related diseases. Strawberry (Fragaria × ananassa Duch.) represent a valuable source of vitamins, minerals, fatty acids, dietary fiber, and various bioactive polyphenolic compounds such as anthocyanins and flavonoids which are known for their antioxidant and anti-inflammatory activities. In this study we evaluated the effect of newly introduced strawberry cultivar „Aprika” supplemented in the form of lyophilized powder, on obesity-related metabolic alterations in high-fat-diet fed mice. We hypothesized that chronic (8 weeks) supplementation of lyophilized strawberries in the amount comparable to two servings per day in humans, would ameliorate insulin resistance associated with obesity in C57BL/6 mice. Furthermore, we hypothesized that strawberry meal consumed at 7PM i.e. before active feeding period of mice (which corresponds to early breakfast in humans) would induce more pronounced beneficial effects compared to meal consumed at 7AM i.e. at the end of the active feeding period (which corresponds to late dinner in humans). High fat diet induced hyperglycaemia, hyperinsulinaemia, insulin resistance and obesity; and disturbed hepatic insulin signaling. Lyophilized strawberries, only when consumed before feeding period, reduced body weight gain and improved insulin sensitivity induced by high-fat diet (evidenced by lower area under the curve after an intraperitoneal GTT, reduced serum insulin levels and an insulin resistance index (IR-HOMA). Strawberry meals consumed after active feeding period had no such effect. However, strawberries, regardless of the time of consumption, restored protein level of Insulin receptor substrate 1 (IRS1) in the liver and increased hepatic antioxidant enzymes level. In conclusion, strawberries improve insulin sensitivity and raise hepatic antioxidant capacity in mouse model of diet induced obesity. Nevertheless, more beneficial effects were achieved when strawberries were consumed before active feeding period, as an early breakfast

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%,

AB  - The soybean is recognized worldwide as one of the most important crops due to its protein- and
oil-rich seeds. Several beneficial bacterial strains, including those of the genus Pseudomonas, are
known to increase plant yield and disease tolerance. The aim of this study was to test the potential of 15 strains of Pseudomonas spp. to promote soybean growth under field conditions. Strains were identified based on 16S rRNA and gyrB sequences, and strains belonging to risk group 1 were further analyzed. Selected strains were tested for plant growth-promoting (PGP) properties, biofilm formation and in vitro antimicrobial activity against various fungal pathogens. PGP activity indicators of the selected strains were evaluated on soybean plants grown in fertilizer-free soil and in soil treated with 70% and 100% fertilizers. Three Pseudomonas spp. strains, P. putida VB131A, P. fulva VB134B and P. rhodesiae VB143S, were selected as PGP candidates. All three strains showed the ability to produce IAA and solubilize phosphorus, while only P. rhodesiae VB143S showed strong lipase and protease activity. Only P. fulva VB134B showed the ability to
produce biofilm and hydrogen cyanide. All three strains showed in vitro antifungal activity against
Alternaria infectoria. P. fulva VB134B and P. rhodesiae VB143S showed antifungal activity against
Alternaria alternata and P. putida VB131A and P. rhodesiae VB143S against Epicoccum nigrum. Only P. fulva VB134B showed activity against Monilinia laxa. Statistically significant differences in
plant height were not observed regardless of the strain or soil treatment used. In terms of first
pod height, the P. fulva VB134B treatment was most effective when applied to soybeans grown
in 100% fertilized soil. In contrast, plants treated with P. rhodesiae VB143S and grown in 100% fertilized soil had the highest number of branches and pods per plant.

abstract = "The soybean is recognized worldwide as one of the most important crops due to its protein- and
oil-rich seeds. Several beneficial bacterial strains, including those of the genus Pseudomonas, are
known to increase plant yield and disease tolerance. The aim of this study was to test the potential of 15 strains of Pseudomonas spp. to promote soybean growth under field conditions. Strains were identified based on 16S rRNA and gyrB sequences, and strains belonging to risk group 1 were further analyzed. Selected strains were tested for plant growth-promoting (PGP) properties, biofilm formation and in vitro antimicrobial activity against various fungal pathogens. PGP activity indicators of the selected strains were evaluated on soybean plants grown in fertilizer-free soil and in soil treated with 70% and 100% fertilizers. Three Pseudomonas spp. strains, P. putida VB131A, P. fulva VB134B and P. rhodesiae VB143S, were selected as PGP candidates. All three strains showed the ability to produce IAA and solubilize phosphorus, while only P. rhodesiae VB143S showed strong lipase and protease activity. Only P. fulva VB134B showed the ability to

AB  - In August 2020, the unusual appearance of crown gall symptoms was observed on the
tobacco plants (hybrid PVH2310) grown in fields in the Golubinci (Srem district, Serbia) locality. The causal agent isolated from galls located on tobacco roots formed circular, convex, and glistening light blue colonies, and then dark to olive-green-colored bacterial colonies on a semi-selective D1 medium. Molecular analysis based on multiplex PCR and multi-locus sequence analysis (MLSA) using concatenated sequences of the atpD, dnaK, glnA, and rpoB genes as well as 16S rRNA identified Serbian tobacco isolates such as Agrobacterium tumefaciens (biovar 1). Two duplex PCR methods confirmed the presence of the virD2 and virC genes in tobacco isolates. Pathogenicity tests performed on carrot discs and squash fruits resulted in tumor/gall formation after 12 to 16 days post inoculation, respectively. Pathogenicity was also confirmed on tobacco plants, where isolates caused tumor development 21−25 days after inoculation. API 50 CH generated results regarding the biochemical features of the Serbian tobacco isolates. As A. tumefaciens (biovar 1) as a cause of tobacco crown gall has previously been documented solely in Japan, there is presently no data on its wider occurrence. Therefore, this first detailed investigation of A. tumefaciens isolated from naturally infected tobacco in Serbia will contribute to a better understanding of it at the global level.

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.

AB  - U okviru ove doktorske disertacije je ispitan uticaj koncentracije dopanta na svojstva BaCe1−xInxO3–δ (BCI, x = 0,05; 0,10; 0,15; 0,20; 0,25; 0,30; 0,35 i 0,40) kao protonskog provodnika. Struktura i fazni sastav sintetisanih prahova dobijenih metodom samosagorevanja su utvrđeni rendgenskom difrakcionom analizom, pri čemu je pokazano da prahovi sa ≥ 25 % (mol.) indijuma sadrže In2O3 kao sekundarnu fazu. 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  - In the paper was analysed the influence of three different container types, used for
cultivation of Pinus nigra and Pinus sylvestris seedlings, on dimensions of their anatomical
(resin ducts width, resin ducts number, tracheid number, tracheid width, wood rays height) and
morphological (height, root collar diameter, sturdiness coefficient) elements, and on proportion
of wood, bark and pith, as well. Two-factorial ANOVA showed that container type affects a lot
all investigated anatomical traits by both species, but on the other side, these species varied
between each other just in terms of tracheid width and wood rays height. Based on descriptive
statistics, significantly lower values of all studied anatomical elements were recorded by
biodegradable compared to plastic containers. As for P. nigra seedlings, they showed the best
anatomical performance in Plantagrah I, while Hiko V-120 SS was the most suitable for
P. sylvestris. The highest proportion of pith and bark was recorded in biodegradable container.
As for morphological parameters, such as height and root collar diameter, higher values were
recorded by plastic containers.

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.
