The lettuce drop or white mold is an economically important disease as the causal fungus Sclerotinia sclerotiorum can infect at any stage of plant development. Polyphagous nature S. sclerotiorum, longevity soil-borne sclerotia and air-borne ascospores makes control difficult. Chemical fungicides are available only for foliar application against infections by so, development bio-control great importance. We tested antagonism native isolate T. koningiopsis agg. (Hypocreales) (STP8) under...
Abstract Amazonian wildfires in 2019 have raised awareness about rainforest burning due to increased emissions of particulate matter and carbon. In the context these emissions, by-products lignin thermal degradation (i.e. methoxyphenols) are often neglected. Methoxyphenols entering atmosphere may form intermediates with currently unknown reaction mechanisms toxicity. This study for first time provides a comprehensive insight into impact products [guaiacol, catechol], their nitrated...
Maternal nutrition and lifestyle in pregnancy are important modifiable factors for both maternal offspring’s health. Although the Mediterranean diet has beneficial effects on health, recent studies have shown low adherence Europe. This study aimed to assess 266 pregnant women from Dalmatia, Croatia investigate their habits regional differences. Adherence was assessed through two scores. Differences characteristics (diet, education, income, parity, smoking, pre-pregnancy body mass index...
In agricultural farms and biogas plants, the presence of produced greenhouse gases, vapors, mists that are mixed with air under atmospheric conditions may pose a risk explosion. These possible mixtures also defined as an explosive atmosphere. To cause explosion it is necessary occurrence so called ‘trigger’, which can be for example: spark due to production processes, breakdown electrical system, inconsiderate use open flames or hot surface in contact absence such ‘triggers’ atmosphere no...
The CompTox Chemistry Dashboard (ToxCast) contains one of the largest public databases on Zebrafish (Danio rerio) developmental toxicity. data consists 19 toxicological endpoints unique 1018 compounds measured in relatively low concentration ranges. are related to effects occurring dechorionated zebrafish embryos for 120 hours post fertilization and monitored via gross malformations mortality. We report predictive capability 209 quantitative structure–activity relationship (QSAR) models...
Environmental context Various UV-filtering chemicals are added to sunscreens in order protect humans from the harmful effects of sun. As a consequence disinfection processes swimming pools, sunscreen components may be chlorinated and change their structure properties, leading derivatives with higher toxicity. The safety as well that transformation products during use requires further study. Abstract In this work is presented synthesis pathway for UV filter hexyl...
Treatment of drinking water may decrease microbial exposure.To investigate whether bacterial load in is associated with altered risk allergic diseases.We recruited 1,110 schoolchildren aged 6-16 years between 2011 and 2013 Požega-Slavonia County Croatia, where we capitalized on a natural experiment whereby individuals receive through public mains supply or individual wells. We obtained data content for all participants; 585 children were randomly selected more detailed assessments, including...
In recent years public and political awareness to environmental issues energetic aspects have led the development of alternative energy resources. The
The chainsaw is a portable machine used for multi-purpose operations and can be by professional non-professional workers. Forestry related tree represent one of the most hazardous working sectors human activity. At moment with chainsaws are conducted all persons not solely restricted to lumberjacks. Serious or lethal lesions, due use manual electric chainsaws, often encountered emergency doctors forensic pathologists. Such serious accidents occur during occupational activities essentially...
This work is focused on serious and fatal accidents which occur at forestry, agricultural green maintenance working sites.In these sites are performed operations related to tree cutting or felling with continuous use of chainsaws.During this study we investigated 123 professional as well non-professional sites.We considered all characteristics necessary determine the operating conditions identify possible steps for an effective protection.The highlights a very situation in both environments...
Integrative taxonomic studies of macrofungal diversity in the Brijuni National Park (Istria County, Croatia) led to discovery a second species Inocybe (Agaricales, Inocybaceae) new science. istriaca sp. nov. is described on basis morphological, ecological, and multigene phylogenetic analyses, its placement within family Inocybaceae discussed. The combination most important morphological characters that distinguish I. from other similar are smooth, (sub)amygdaliform, (sub)phaseoliform, or...
Background Environmental interactions are very complex in childhood asthma, and we hypothesized that even a short-term exposure to an allergy safe outdoor environment (AllSOE) combined with pulmonary rehabilitation program (PRP) could exert significant beneficial effects. Our aim was test the effects of 2-week PRP provided AllSOE children mild moderate asthma.Methods 110 (aged 7.5–17 years, 46% girls), partially or totally controlled attended at Island Lošinj (Croatia) supervised by...
