Tangerine peel is a substantial source of underutilized biomass rich in bioactive constituents, particularly phenolic compounds and flavonoids. The increasing generation of this agro-industrial waste poses environmental and management challenges, necessitating the development of sustainable and efficient valorization strategies. In this study, bioa...

Sweet cherry pits, a significant fraction of agro-industrial bio-waste, are often underutilized despite their richness in bioactive compounds. In line with sustainable resource management and circular economy principles, their valorization using green extraction techniques has gained attention. Microwave-assisted extraction (MAE) and ultrasound-ass...

Honey bees (Apis mellifera) represent reliable bioindicators of environmental quality due to their role as pollinators, wide foraging range, and continuous interaction with various ecosystem components. The aim of this paper is to examine the significance of bees as bioindicators through the analysis of pollutant accumulation mechanisms and their a...

Scoliosis affects 2–3% of the population, and manual measurement using the Cobb angle — the gold standard since 1948 — is subject to interobserver variability and too slow for use in large-scale screening programs. This paper presents a systematic review of the application of deep neural networks (DNNs) in scoliosis detection and...

Marine scrubber systems (Exhaust Gas Cleaning Systems – EGCS) have become a critical compliance technology in modern maritime transport, enabling ships to meet IMO MARPOL Annex VI sulphur oxide emission limits. Passenger vessels are particularly dependent on these systems due to their high fuel consumption and continuous operation. However, w...

This paper examines the unique legal nature of the U.S. federal law JASTA (Justice Against Sponsors of Terrorism Act), focusing on its criminal law implications within civil litigation. While its primary objective is to enable private tort claims against foreign states, the act fundamentally redefines criminal liability standards through the doctri...

This paper analyzes a model of sustainable organic waste management through the utilization of rabbit manure via vermicomposting. Rabbit manure, consisting of solid and liquid excreta combined with bedding materials (straw, sawdust), is not directly applied to agroecosystems but is biologically transformed using California red worms (Eisenia fetida...

This paper explores the development of the circular economy in Bosnia and Herzegovina by analysing the first concrete steps away from a linear, landfill‑dependent model and towards more resource‑efficient waste and material management. It builds on a comprehensive study of waste management systems, secondary raw materials and investment opportuniti...

Manure management in intensive livestock production represents a major environmental challenge due to gas emissions, nutrient losses, and potential air and water pollution. Biochar is a carbon-rich material produced through biomass pyrolysis under limited oxygen conditions. It is used as an amendment in manure management systems due to its porous s...

With the aim of defining the environmental crisis as a security and legal challenge, the author, in the first part of the paper, examines the genesis of the concept of ecocide, from the Vietnam War to the 2021 expert panel, presenting the evolution of ecocide from a political concept into a normative framework. The second part of the paper is dedic...
