A strain of small-sized dinoflagellates, isolated from the culture of sediment incubation collected from the coastal areas in southern China, has been identified under microscopical observation and rDNA sequence. Surface sediments from two sea areas in the southern Chinese coastal waters were incubated for 20 and 40days, and germinated vegetative cells were observed. The cells were identified as species in the Suessiaceae based on the morphological characteristics, ultrastructural features of the cell, as well as its swimming behavior. The studied strain clusters into a well-supported clade together with six sequences of Biecheleriopsis adriatica in the phylogenetic tree based on the large subunit (LSU) rDNA sequence. Therefore, the strain has been identified as B. adriatica based on morphological observation and phylogenetic analysis. B. adriatica was the dominant dinoflagellate species in the germinated phytoplankton community from both sea areas, which contributed 50%-83% to the total germinated dinoflagellates averagely. However, B. adriatica has not been reported in previous phytoplankton surveys, and was probably ignored or misidentified due to its small size and thin wall. The frequent and abundant occurrence of B. adriatica in the germinated phytoplankton community of many sea areas of the southern Chinese coastal waters suggests its wide and abundant distribution in these sea areas.

Časopis je bez sumnje postao i ostao središnja aktivnost Hrvatskoga znanstvenog društva za povijest zdravstvene kulture i ubrzo se prometnuo u svjetski cijenjeni časopis iz povijesti medicine. Predstavljen je početak i kontekst njegova izlaženja, u poveznici sa znanstvenim skupom Rijeka i Riječani u medicinskoj povjesnici, njegovo profiliranje u istaknuti međunarodni znanstveni časopis te nagli razvoj u kasnijim godinama izlaženja. Analiza pokazuje rast prepoznatljivosti časopisa kroz indeksaciju u različitim međunarodnim časopisnim bazama, broj i omjer znanstvenih članaka i vrstu objavljenog materijala. Zaključno se daje osvrt na moguće smjerove razvoja u budućnosti te značenje časopisa u nacionalnim, regionalnim i međunarodnim okvirima.
This manuscript describes the first detailed chemical investigation of endemic species Iris adriatica, including isolation and structure elucidation. Chemical analyses of the rhizome CH2Cl2/MeOH (2:1) extract revealed fourteen secondary metabolites, mainly isoflavonoids. Among isoflavonoids, two groups have been found: nigricin-type and tectorigenin-type. Dominant group of the isolated compounds has been nigricin-type isoflavones: nigricin, nigricin-4'-(1-O-β-D-glucopyranoside) and nigricin-4'-(1-O-β-D-glucopyranosyl (1-6)-β-D-glucopyranoside) with 2.5, 10 and 1% of the total extract, respectively. Irisxanthone - xanthone C-glucoside, β-sitosterol, benzophenone and one of its derivatives have also been found. Nigricin-type isoflavonoids and irisxanthone can be considered as possible chemotaxonomic markers for I. adriatica. 5,3',5'-Trimethoxy-6,7-methylenedioxyisoflavone-4'-(1-O-β-D-glucopyranoside) and benzophenone have been isolated from Iris species for the first time.
Journal bibliometric indicators are useful tools in assessing the characteristics, development history, and future trending of a particular medical journal. Moreover, they can help potential authors when deciding which journal to submit their work to in order to achieve the highest visibility. A single journal study of the medical journal Acta Dermatovenerologica Alpina, Pannonica et Adriatica (ADAPA) from January 1994 to July 2019 was performed. The corpus was harvested from the bibliographical database Scopus (Elsevier, Netherlands) for the period between 1994 and 2019 (inclusive), and the bibliometric analysis was performed using Scopus built-in services and MS Excel (Microsoft, USA). The historical, cooperation, and hot topic analysis was performed on scientific landscapes induced by VOSviewer software (Leiden University, Netherlands). From 1994 to 2019, a total of 759 publications were published in ADAPA. The trend in the number of publications has varied; it increased somewhat until 2009, then decreased until 2015, when the number of articles began to rise again, reaching a peak in 2018 (46 articles annually). A small decline in source normalized impact per paper (SNIP) was observed from 1.2 in 2010 to 0.46 in 2018. Slovenia ranked first (n = 210) in the number of publications among 55 countries. Authors from 44 out of 55 countries published their articles through co-authorships. Whereas it was initially considered a primarily regional journal, ADAPA's influence has gradually broadened and the journal has become truly international. The number of articles published increased significantly during the last few years, with ADAPA strongly supporting international collaboration, resulting in a high proportion of international co-authorships.
Next spring, we will celebrate 30 years since the first issue of Acta Dermatovenerologica Alpina, Pannonica et Adriatica (Acta Dermatovenerol APA) was published and, to our astonishment and disappointment, it seems that the goal we have long awaited (and worked hard for)-obtaining an official impact factor (IF)-is nowhere in sight. Every application for an IF has been met with various reasons why our journal does not fulfill the criteria for inclusion in the Science Citation Index Expanded (SCIE). Given the highly non-transparent evaluation process, we conclude that there probably really is no room for small and independent journals in the world of publishing giants and commercial interests. Although disheartened, we will continue our long-established tradition of providing open-access and quality content in dermatology and sexually transmitted infections for researchers and clinicians in the region and worldwide because science should be open and committed to teamwork.
In December 2016, Elsevier launched a new tool that helps measure the citation impact of academic journals, called the CiteScore index. The CiteScore index values for 2015 confirmed the status of Acta Dermatovenerologica Alpina, Pannonica et Adriatica (Acta Dermatovenerol APA) as the leading journal in dermatology and sexually transmitted infections in the region. Sixty-five articles published in Acta Dermatovenerol APA from 2012 to 2014 received a total of 77 citations in 2015, resulting in a CiteScore index value of 1.18 for the journal. More than half of the articles published from 2012 to 2014 received at least one citation in 2015. Acta Dermatovenerol APA performed well in all three categories listed because it is ranked 384th out of 1,549 journals in the category General Medicine (75th percentile), 53rd out of 122 journals in the category Dermatology (56th percentile), and 142nd out of 246 journals in the category Infectious Diseases (42nd percentile).
Little is known about the pharmacological activities of Iris adriatica (Iridaceae), a plant endemic to Dalmatia (Croatia). We therefore performed a bioassay-guided fractionation including high-performance counter current chromatography (HPCCC) and antibacterial tests using Mycobacterium smegmatis mc2 155. One obtained fraction was found to be antimycobacterially active with a MIC of 64 mg L-1. Furthermore, fractions were tested for resistance modulatory effects using ethidium bromide as substrate. We were able to identify the pure isoflavonic compounds irigenin and irilone and a fraction containing mainly benzophenone 2,4,6-trihydroxy-4-methoxy-benzophenone, responsible for the resistance-modulatory activity of this plant.
Springs represent ecotones between groundwater and surface freshwater habitats. Recent research suggested that springs can be more important than expected for stygobiont (i.e., adapted to live in groundwater) species, still information on habitat exploitation and activity of stygobionts in springs is far from complete. The aims of this study are: (i) to identify environmental factors promoting the exploitation of ecotone habitats by the stygobiont shrimp Troglocaris planinensis, commonly found in spring environments in northeastern Italy; and (ii) to experimentally evaluate whether this species exhibits differential behavioral responses to light and to subterranean and surface predator cues based on its habitat of origin (spring versus cave). From June 2020 to January 2025, we started multiple day and night surveys of T. planinensis in 64 springs of the Classic Karst (NE-Italy). Each site has been characterized with respect to abiotic and biotic features. In the laboratory, shrimps from both cave and spring populations were tested to assess behavioral differences in response to light stimuli and predatory cues, as potential adaptations to the contrasting conditions of their respective habitats. In springs, T. planinensis density reached up to 116 shrimps/m2, with significantly higher counts at night and lower densities at sites with greater fish predator abundance. Laboratory tests showed that predator cues, but not light exposure, influenced shrimp behavior regardless of their cave or spring origin. This study suggests that stygobiont crustaceans can represent a significant portion of biomass in surface waters and exploit these environments in response to changes in abiotic and biotic conditions and stimuli. However, further research is necessary to determine how stygobionts perceive surface conditions and how ecotonal pressures may drive adaptive shifts in typically groundwater-dwelling animals.
The impact of heat and drought stresses, either individually or combined, on physiological and biochemical parameters of four eggplant varieties (Solanum melongena L.) was investigated. The results showed that associated stress generated the highest increment in proline content, MDA concentration, and H2O2 accumulation and generated the lowest increment in RWC. In addition, ‘Bonica’ and ‘Galine’ exhibited higher starch accumulation and lower electrolyte leakage (EL) under combined stress. Moreover, drought and heat stresses applied individually contributed to a substantial decline in Chla, Chlb, total Chl, Chla/b, and carotenoids (p > 0.05) in ‘Adriatica’ and ‘Black Beauty’. The decreasing level of pigments was more substantial under associated drought and heat stresses. The simultaneous application of drought and heat stresses reduced PSII efficiency (Fv/Fm), quantum yield (ΦPSII), and photochemical efficiency (qp) and boosted non-photochemical quenching (NPQ) levels. However, the change recorded in the chlorophyll fluorescence parameters was less pronounced in ‘Bonica’ and ‘Galine’. In addition, the gas exchange parameters, transpiration rate (E), CO2 assimilation rate (A), and net photosynthesis (Pn) were decreased in all varieties under all stress conditions. However, the reduction was more pronounced in ‘Adriatica’ and ‘Black Beauty’. Under associated stress, antioxidant enzymes, SOD, APX, CAT, and GR exhibited a significant increment in all eggplant cultivars. However, the rising was more elevated in ‘Bonica’ and ‘Galine’ (higher than threefold increase) than in ‘Adriatica’ and ‘Black Beauty’ (less than twofold increase). Furthermore, ‘Bonica’ and ‘Galine’ displayed higher non-enzyme scavenging activity (AsA and GSH) compared to ‘Adriatica’ and ‘Black Beauty’ under associated stress. Under stressful conditions, nutrient uptake was affected in all eggplant cultivars; however, the root, stem, and leaf N, P, and K contents, in ‘Adriatica’ and ‘Black Beauty’ were lower than in ‘Bonica’ and ‘Galine’, thereby showing less capacity in accumulating nutrients. The coexistence of drought and heat stresses caused more damage on eggplant varieties than the single appearance of drought or heat stress separately. ‘Bonica’ and ‘Galine’ showed better distinguished performance compared to ‘Adriatica’ and ‘Black Beauty’. The superiority of ‘Bonica’ and ‘Galine’ in terms of tolerance to heat and drought stresses was induced by more effective antioxidant scavenging potential, enhanced osmolyte piling-up, and prominent ability in keeping higher photosynthetic efficiency and nutrient equilibrium compared with ‘Adriatica’ and ‘Black Beauty’.

The nursing profession is fundamental to the functioning of healthcare systems but is often characterised by high turnover rates, considerable job dissatisfaction, and a significant intention to leave. A closely related phenomenon is "missed nursing care," defined as essential nursing tasks that are omitted (partially or completely), delayed, or not performed. The relationship between missed nursing care and the intention to leave the profession represents a critical issue in modern healthcare. This scoping review aims to synthesize evidence on the relationship between Missed Nursing Care (MNC) and Intention to Leave (ITL), highlighting the factors influencing both phenomena. A scoping review was conducted to examine the relationship between "missed nursing care" and "intention to leave" among nurses. The search, conducted between May and June 2024, included PUBMED, SCOPUS, and EBSCO databases, focusing on English-language studies from the last 10 years. Zotero was used for study management, and quality assessment was performed using the "JBI Critical Appraisal Tools." Two independent reviewers screened studies and resolved discrepancies through discussion and consensus. the electronic research strategies used produced 102 papers, of which 24 were relevant to the aims of the review. The results of this study show a clear correlation between missed nursing care and intention to leave among nurses in different healthcare settings. This literature review demonstrates a strong and consistent correlation between missed nursing care and nurses' intention to leave the profession. The findings indicate that missed nursing care is closely linked to heightened job dissatisfaction, which in turn significantly increases the likelihood of nurses considering leaving their roles. The relationship between missed nursing care and intention to leave the profession is well documented in the literature and highlights the importance of addressing the factors that contribute to missed nursing care. Improving nurses' working conditions is essential to reduce their intention to leave the profession. To effectively tackle missed nursing care and mitigate the intention to leave, it is necessary to adopt targeted strategic and management approaches and to foster an organisational culture that prioritises the well-being of nurses.

New taxonomic and faunistic data on the dysderid spiders of Kosovo are presented, along with a survey of previous records. Harpactea dardanica Geci & Zamani sp. nov., belonging to the lepida species-group, is described as new to science based on male specimens collected in the Bjeshkt-e-Nemuna National Park, western Kosovo. Dysdera adriatica Kulczyski, 1897, Dy. lata Reuss, 1834, Dasumia kusceri (Kratochvl, 1935), H. rubicunda (C.L. Koch, 1838), H. srednagora Dimitrov & Lazarov, 1999, and H. tenuiemboli Deltshev, 2011, as well as the genus Dasumia Thorell, 1875, are reported from Kosovo for the first time. Additional records are provided for Dy. longirostris Doblika, 1853 and H. lepida (C.L. Koch, 1838). DNA barcodes (partial sequences of the mitochondrial cytochrome c oxidase subunit 1 gene) were generated for all species. Photographic illustrations are provided for the newly described species, as well as for H. srednagora and H. tenuiemboli.
Iris taxa are sources of valuable essential oils obtained from aged rhizomes used by various industries, including pharmacy, cosmetic, perfume, and food industry, in which irones are the most important aroma components. In this study, volatile organic compounds (VOCs) obtained from dried rhizomes of three endemics from Croatia, Iris pseudopallida, I. illyrica, and I. adriatica, were studied. The VOCs were isolated by three different methods: headspace solid-phase microextraction (HS-SPME) using divinylbenzene/carboxene/polydimethylsiloxane (DVB/CAR/PDMS) fiber or polydimethylsiloxane/divinylbenzene (PDMS/DVB) fiber, and hydrodistillation (HD). The samples were analyzed by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS). In five out of six samples, the main compounds detected by HS-SPME were perilla aldehyde, butan-2,3-diol, acetic acid, 2-phenylethanol, benzyl alcohol, hexanal, and nonanal, while 6-methylhept-5-en-2-one, trans-caryophyllene, and ethanol were common for all studied samples. The former VOCs were absent from the oldest, irone-rich I. pseudopallida sample, mainly characterized by cis-α-irone (43.74-45.76%). When using HD, its content was reduced (24.70%), while docosane prevailed (45.79%). HD yielded predominantly fatty acids, including myristic, common for all studied taxa (4.20-97.01%), and linoleic (40.69%) and palmitic (35.48%) as the major VOCs of I. adriatica EO. The performed GC-MS analyses of EOs, in combination with HS-SPME/GC-MS, proved to be useful for gaining a better insight into Iris VOCs.

Anthropogenic microparticle pollution is a pervasive phenomenon affecting even remote environments, such as natural caves. Despite potential impacts on these fragile and valuable underground ecosystems, data on microparticle concentration in natural caves still remain sparse and often based on limited sampling and insufficient spatial replication. In this study, a hierarchical sampling design including large (between caves, 1000 s m), medium (subareas within caves, 10 s m), local (stations within subareas, 100 s cm) and small (among replicates, 10 s cm) scale, was implemented to identify patterns of spatial variation in microparticle contamination of surface sediments from two caves in the Classical Karst (NE Italy). Suspected anthropogenic microparticles were detected in all samples, with an average concentration of 90.9 items kg-1 dry weight, predominantly transparent particles (>34.9 %), often fibers <1 mm (49.9 - 58.1 %). Most of the items (94.5 %) were microplastics made of PP (45 %), PET (35 %), and PE (20 %), whereas the remaining microparticles consisted of non-plastic items, including unknown cellulose (5 %) and anthropogenic cellulose (0.5 %). The total number of microparticles, their type, and relative abundance significantly varied at the scale of subareas, while no significant variations were detected at the scale of stations and between caves. In all cases, subareas and replicates primarily contributed to the total variability (11 - 20 % and ≥80 %, respectively), highlighting small- and medium-scale heterogeneity as the most relevant sources of spatial variations of microparticle contamination. As a number of factors, from varying contamination sources to the geomorphological complexity of caves, may affect dispersal and accumulation of microparticles in environmental matrices, our findings stress the need for more structured sampling designs to quantify the intrinsic spatial variability of microparticles in order to obtain reliable estimates of contamination in cave environments.
