A Narrative Review on Abnormalities in the Hemostatic System in Diabetes Mellitus: Pathophysiology, Clinical Implications, and Therapeutics

Diabetes mellitus (DM) is a complex metabolic disorder associated with a heightened risk of cardiovascular events, largely driven by a hypercoagulable and hypofibrinolytic state. The pathophysiological interplay between chronic hyperglycemia, oxidative stress, insulin resistance, and systemic inflammation fosters profound alterations in the coagulation cascade, endothelial function, and platelet activity. This narrative review synthesizes evidence from studies published between 2008 and 2026, focusing...

Floristic Records, Distribution and Habitat Overview on the Genus Ornithogalum sensu stricto in Montenegro

Abstract Ornithogalum sensu stricto (Asparagaceae) is a genus of bulbous geophytes characterized by milky white tepals with longitudinal green stripes on the abaxial side and flowers arranged in racemose inflorescences, appearing from late winter to mid-summer. Research on this genus has been limited by a long history of misidentifications, inconsistent taxonomic treatments, and incomplete distribution data across its native range, where taxa...

Are Changes in Seasonal and Annual Precipitation in the Balkan Peninsula Driven by Increases in Anthropogenic Greenhouse Gases or by Teleconnection Variability?

Abstract ERA5-Land and GPCC data (at 0.1° and 0.25° resolution, respectively) cover the Balkan Peninsula with 7,297 and 1,496 grid cells. The reanalysis datasets show a very high level of agreement with in situ measurements in Montenegro, although precipitation is underestimated in mountainous areas. In the region of about 550,000 km 2 , for the period 1950–2024, ERA5-Land (GPCC) indicates decreases in seasonal and annual...

Comparative Evaluation of EU Circular Economy Sector Performances: Cluster-Driven Analysis and MCDM Methods

The main purpose of the research is to rank EU member states by the intensity of their efforts to implement the CE model. Understanding EU member states’ differences is crucial to formulating effective policy measures that foster sustainable development and enhance economic resilience across the EU. The degree of CE development was examined through three sub-indicators: (i) private investment related to CE sectors; (ii) persons employed in CE sectors; and (iii) gross value added as a percentage...

Recent observations of two young-of-the-year great white sharks, Carcharodon carcharias (Elasmobranchii, Lamniformes, Lamnidae), in the Eastern Adriatic Sea

The great white shark, Carcharodon carcharias (Linnaeus, 1758), is a well-known predatory species that inhabits a wide geographic range, including the Adriatic Sea. A marked decline in the abundance of its Mediterranean population has been documented over recent decades, making research on this species in its natural environment increasingly difficult. This study documents two contemporary records of young-of-the-year individuals recorded...

Application of the Maxent model in habitat suitability assessment for Rosalia alpina (Linnaeus, 1758) in Montenegro

This study applies the Maxent model to predict the potential habitat suitability of the endangered saproxylic beetle Rosalia alpina in Montenegro. The model identified temperature (TEMP) and near-surface relative humidity (NSRH) as the dominant predictors influencing the species’ distribution, followed by vegetation type (VEG) and topographic variables such as slope (SLP) and aspect (ASP). The model achieved good predictive accuracy, with an average test AUC of 0.798 ± 0.012 across five replicates,...

A Bibliometric and Systematic Review of Quantitative Microbial Risk Assessment in Food Safety (1995–2024)

Quantitative microbial risk assessment (QMRA) has become a central framework for evaluating foodborne microbial hazards by integrating microbiological data, exposure assessment, dose–response modelling, and probabilistic simulation. Over the past three decades, its rapid expansion has created challenges in obtaining a coherent overview of the field’s structure, dominant themes, and research trajectories. This study presents a bibliometric and systematic review of QMRA research in food safety. Bibliographic...
