An investigation was carried out on humic substances (HSs) isolated from the coal of the Kansk-Achinsk basin (Krasnoyarsk Territory, Russia). The coal HSs demonstrate the main parameters of molecular structure inherent to this class of natural compounds. An assessment was performed for the chemical, microbiological, and pharmacological safety parameters, as well as the biological efficacy. The HS sample meets the safety requirements in microbiological purity, toxic metals content (lead, cadmium, mercury, ar...

Viruses, Vol. 16, Pages 527: Orthoflavivirus Lammi in Russia: Possible Transovarial Transmission and Trans-Stadial Survival in Aedes cinereus (Diptera, Culicidae)
lina G. Karganova
In the last few years, there has been a dramatic increase in the number of discovered viruses that are transmitted by arthropods. Some of them are pathogenic for humans and mammals, and the pathogenic potential of others is unknown. The genus Orthoflavivirus belongs to the family Flaviviridae and includes arboviruses that cause severe human diseases with damage to the central nervous system and hemorrhagic fevers, as well as viruses with unknown vectors and viruses specific only to insects. The latter group includes Lammi virus, first isolated from a mosquito pool in Finland. It is known that Lammi vi...

Viruses, Vol. 16, Pages 526: Hepatitis E Virus Infection in Voluntary Blood Donors in the Russian Federation
In conclusion, the HEV RNA detection rate in blood donors in Russia corresponds with data from other European countries, including those that implemented universal donor HEV screening. These data support the implementation of HEV RNA donor screening to reduce the risk of transfusion-transmitted HEV infection in Russia. (Source: Viruses)

Mental health in Ukraine in 2023
CONCLUSION: Our findings show that approximately one in three adults living in Ukraine report problems consistent with meeting diagnostic requirements for a mental health disorder 18 months after Russia's full-scale invasion. Ukraine's mental healthcare system has been severely compromised by the loss of infrastructure and human capital due to the war. These findings may help to identify those most vulnerable so that limited resources can be used most effectively.PMID:38533632 | DOI:10.1192/j.eurpsy.2024.12 (Source: Journal of the Association of European Psychiatrists)

Modelling fuel oil transformation on geographically different seacoasts and assessing their self-cleansing capacity
The objective of this research is to quantify the influence of geographical factors on the rates of natural transformation of the heavy fuel oil stranded ashore and to develop an empirical statistical model in order to evaluate the self-cleansing capacity of the coastal environment. In a number of field campaigns, 363 samples of weathered oil slicks and tar balls have been collected and analysed with the use of thin-layer chromatography combined with optical and gravimetric methods. The results obtained have been subjected to multiple nonlinear regression analyses. It has been shown that heavy fuel oil natural attenuation ...

Pseudodesulfovibrio pelocollis sp. nov. a Sulfate-Reducing Bacterium Isolated from a Terrestrial Mud Volcano
Curr Microbiol. 2024 Mar 25;81(5):120. doi: 10.1007/s00284-024-03644-6.ABSTRACTTerrestrial mud volcanoes (TMVs), surface expressions of a deep-subterranean sedimentary volcanism, are widespread throughout the world. The methane and sulfur cycles are recognized as the most important biogeochemical cycles in these environments. Only few anaerobic bacterial strains were recovered from TMVs. We have isolated a novel sulfate-reducing bacterium (strain SB368T) from TMV located at Taman Peninsula, Russia. Optimum growth of strain SB368T was observed at 30 °C, pH 8.0 and 1% NaCl. Strain SB368T utilized lactate, pyruvate and fumar...

South Korea to join the European Union ’s research funding program
The European Commission announced today that South Korea will join Horizon Europe, as the 7-year, €95.5 billion ($104 billion) research funding program continues to expand far beyond the continent.
South Korea will be the first East Asian country to “associate to” Horizon Europe, paying into the program so that the nation’s researchers can apply for and lead Horizon grants on an equal footing with scientists from EU member states. Associating “presents an opportunity for Korean researchers to tackle globally important research topics and expand their international contacts and collaborators,” says Park Se...
