“…Si bien todos los estudios examinados abordan la relación sociedad-naturaleza junto con problemáticas locales, la dimensión política fue subrepresentada, destacando la urgencia de fortalecer una educación ambiental que capacite a las comunidades en la gestión de sus recursos, conforme sugieren Serafín-Castro et al (2021) y Reyes-Hernández (2023. La escasez de consideraciones éticas podría comprometer la legitimidad y la eficacia de las investigaciones y esfuerzos de conservación, como lo indican Cortés-Capano et al (2022).…”

Objetivo: identificar y evaluar en la literatura contemporánea, las dinámicas actuales de la Educación Ambiental (EA) en Guerrero, México, con un enfoque específico en la conservación de la biodiversidad. Este estudio aborda los principales enfoques y desafíos éticos, inherentes a la práctica de la EA en Guerrero, a fin de identificar áreas de oportunidad que puedan fortalecer el impacto de la EA en la conservación de la biodiversidad. Diseño metodológico: se realizó una revisión sistemática de la literatura emergente relacionada con la EA y la biodiversidad en Guerrero. Se seleccionaron 34 estudios de 80, para identificar patrones y tendencias en la EA en el estado. Resultados: en Guerrero existe una tendencia hacia la Educación Ambiental Participativa (EAP), con un enfoque en la interacción con actores locales para la conservación de la biodiversidad. Se destaca la falta de consideraciones éticas en muchos estudios, así como la barrera idiomática en la difusión del conocimiento. Se identifican áreas de oportunidad en la inclusión de la dimensión política, la necesidad de enfoques más integrales y la importancia de la formación en ética y procesos participativos. Limitaciones de la investigación: la posible omisión de publicaciones no indexadas en las bases de datos utilizadas. Además, la falta de descripciones detalladas en algunos estudios limitó la comprensión de la efectividad de las intervenciones de EA. Hallazgos: se resalta la importancia de fortalecer la EA en Guerrero con un enfoque en la participación para la conservación de la biodiversidad. Se enfatiza la necesidad de consideraciones éticas, la superación de barreras idiomáticas y la promoción de proyectos a largo plazo.

“…Therefore, there is a significant impact on the anthropic environment, which causes a human-centered crisis [6,11,13]. The boundaries between bioethics, health law, and human rights are penetrable, and border crossings, including blind practice, are common [8,12,[23][24][25].…”

Bioethics in a transformation society on the example of the legal regulation

The article is devoted to bioethical problems that exist in a transformational society. The most important issues are considered, including organ and tissue transplantation, use of embryonic and stem cells for the treatment, gene therapy, in vitro fertilization, cloning, etc. It is emphasized that along with scientific progress there are deep transformations connected with this process in the socio-psychological and cultural spheres, the reason for which is the penetration into mass culture and the mentality of new ideas, conceptions and terms. Emphasis was placed on the need to create a DNA database of servicemen, which is especially relevant during the wartime in Ukraine. Attention is drawn to the need to create special legislation for quality legal regulation of surrogacy, which is especially relevant today. The problems of biomedical transformations and their conflict became the subject of consideration by scientists. Recent studies are devoted to a number of issues related to updating the understanding of the determinants of bioethics in various directions. First of all, attention should be paid to the genesis of the basic standards of bioethics. T. Beauchamp and J. Childress in many editions and reprints have transformed the understanding of the problem over forty years, and it is now agreed that it should be considered within four broad moral principles: respect for autonomy, benevolence, and justice. They can and should be seen as arising historically and philosophically from general morality, as universal morality (as opposed to pure relativism or pluralism) gradually became an integral part of the principled approach. Taking into account all the latest trends in the field of biomedicine, the purpose of this article is to address the problem of the development of biomedical legal standards in Ukraine and the issues of combining them with national identity in the current conditions of the pandemic crisis. The relevance of this topic is important for several reasons: it can serve as a basis for a comparative analysis of the practical application of biomedical legal standards; the example of Ukraine is valuable as an experimental benchmark of the legal policy of the states of the former USSR for the analysis of the development of the post-Soviet socio-legal and cultural sphere; will make it possible to interpret identity in the context of globalized changes.

“…Biodiversity is declining at an alarming rate [ 24 , 25 ], endangering the conservation of various species. This crisis requires careful consideration and setting of objectives in order to preserve biodiversity in the world [ 26 , 27 ]. One way of tackling this problem is to find uses for lesser-known species, making them targets of interest for the food industry.…”

Pears (Pyrus communis L.) and apples (Malus domestica Borkh.) are two of the most popular fruits worldwide. The phenolic compounds they offer are associated with human health benefits due to their antioxidant properties. Since these fruits’ by-products are not yet fully exploited, it is important to characterize them, especially in terms of their antioxidant properties. The aim of this study was to determine the antioxidant properties of old traditional cultivars, six regional pear cultivars and five regional apple cultivars grown in the Alcobaça region (Portugal). Antioxidant capacity assays were used to evaluate the antioxidant properties. Generally, the antioxidant capacity, total phenolics content (TPC), and total flavonoids content (TFC) of fruit byproducts (both seeds and peels) were higher than the corresponding mesocarp, indicating their potential as sources of beneficial antioxidant compounds. Moreover, a UHPLC-ToF-MS method was optimized and validated in order to quantify 21 distinct phenolics in these fruit samples. The analytical method’s suitability for quantifying phenolic compounds was demonstrated by an evaluation of linearity, limit of detection, limit of quantification, precision and accuracy. This method was used to determine the phenolic composition of samples of regional (local) cultivars. The phenolics in the fruit samples with the highest concentrations were phlorizin and chlorogenic acid. Principal component analysis (PCA) was used to separate distinct fruit species while emphasizing their similarities and differences.
