This study aims to investigate a new natural antioxidant source as an alternative to synthetic antioxidants, which have hazardous properties for health, and to increase the value of white cedar cones. To achieve this, ultrasound-assisted extraction was used to prepare extracts of white cedar cones. The total phenolic, flavonoid, and anthocyanin contents were determined, and radical scavenging and antioxidant activity studies were conducted and compared with synthetic antioxidants. In the 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl scavenging assay, the ethanol extract exhibited an activity of 94.07% at 25 µg/mL; the activities of epicatechin, butylated hydroxyanisole, and the aqueous extract were 93.84, 86.70, and 75.95%, respectively. In the N,N-dimethyl-p-phenylenediamine dihydrochloride assay, aqueous extract, ethanol extract, and butylated hydroxyanisole (BHA) had an activity of 54.16, 31.42, and 26.56%, respectively. In the beta-carotene assay, while the ethanol extract showed similar results to those of BHA, the aqueous extract demonstrated slightly better results. The results indicated that the activities of the extracts of white cedar cones were higher compared to the synthetic antioxidants in some of the tests. This might suggest that white cedar cones could be used as a new source of antioxidant compounds upon further investigation, and increase their value.","PeriodicalId":15720,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Environmental Science and Health Part B-pesticides Food Contaminants and Agricultural Wastes","volume":" ","pages":"1-8"},"PeriodicalIF":1.8,"publicationDate":"2026-05-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147838827","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Over several decades, research has shown that pesticides and their metabolites can alter the diversity, structure, and functional capacity of soil microbial communities, with effects that may be either inhibitory or stimulatory depending on the context. However, their long-term influence on microbial resilience and recovery remains insufficiently understood. This review synthesizes current knowledge by integrating microbial ecology, soil chemistry, and environmental toxicology, with a focus on how pesticides alter microbial community composition and enzyme-mediated nutrient cycling. Particular attention is given to key soil enzymes, such as dehydrogenases, ureases, and phosphatases, which serve as sensitive, though sometimes limited, indicators of soil disturbance, and recovery. Furthermore, the review emphasizes how soil physicochemical properties, contamination history, and management practices collectively modulate microbial responses to pesticide exposure. By bringing these perspectives together, this synthesis offers a conceptual framework for interpreting pesticide-microbe interactions and provides a foundation for monitoring soil health and guiding sustainable pest management strategies that maintain agricultural productivity while preserving soil vitality.","PeriodicalId":15720,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Environmental Science and Health Part B-pesticides Food Contaminants and Agricultural Wastes","volume":" ","pages":"1-18"},"PeriodicalIF":1.8,"publicationDate":"2026-05-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147816109","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Thiabendazole (TBZ), a fungicide used on produce, has been associated with cancer and liver damage, but its role in endometrial cancer is unclear. This study employs network toxicology, machine learning, and bioinformatics to explore TBZ's potential impact on endometrial cancer development. Through analysis of four comprehensive databases, we identified 69 potential molecular targets. Gene ontology analysis suggested that TBZ may induce UCEC by disrupting cellular metabolic homeostasis and signal transduction pathways. This hypothesis was further corroborated by KEGG pathway analysis. Machine learning techniques identified two pivotal targets: CA5B and CDK1. The study conducted survival analysis, independent prognostic analysis, single-gene genomic enrichment analysis, pan-cancer expression analysis, and immune infiltration analysis on the core targets. Molecular docking and kinetic simulations validated stable interaction between TBZ and the core targets. This research proposes a potential mechanistic model for TBZ-induced UCEC: TBZ directly targets key proteins such as CA5B and CDK1, disrupting cellular metabolism and pH homeostasis, aberrantly driving cell cycle progression, and interfering with the tumor immune microenvironment. These actions collectively and synergistically facilitate the initiation and progression of endometrial cancer.","PeriodicalId":15720,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Environmental Science and Health Part B-pesticides Food Contaminants and Agricultural Wastes","volume":" ","pages":"1-13"},"PeriodicalIF":1.8,"publicationDate":"2026-04-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147772569","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Multispectral and thermal images were collected from three corn fields throughout the 2024 growing season, including numerous pest life stages. The dataset includes 2,000 high-resolution images, with metadata as well as geographical coordinates, collection date, and pest stage annotations, authorized by entomological experts. Image preprocessing, as well as normalization, augmentation, and segmentation, was smeared to develop data quality and model generalization. EfficientNet, a convolutional neural network, was engaged for feature extraction, and its outputs were classified using a hybrid method combining Random Forest and Support Vector Machine algorithms to improve detection accuracy and robustness. The system succeeded 90% classification accuracy, with inference times suitable for real-time field application. Field trials recognized the practical applicability of the method under variable ecological conditions. This research shows that fitting UAV imaging with AI-based models can be responsible for suitable, accurate detection of corn earworm, assisting proactive pest management decisions. The methodology can be adjusted to other pest species and crop systems, posturing a scalable solution for precision agriculture and backing sustainable crop protection practices.

This scoping review maps recycling and valorization pathways for crop residues within a circular-bioeconomy framework, integrating technological readiness, environmental performance, and socio-economic dimensions. Using PRISMA-ScR methodology, 145 documents (2013-2025) from academic and institutional sources were analyzed. The review characterizes residue typologies and global generation patterns, and examines key valorization routes including composting, anaerobic digestion, biochar and thermochemical conversion, lignocellulosic biorefineries, bioplastics and biocomposites, recovery of bioactive compounds, and emerging nanomaterial and biofabrication pathways. Beyond individual technologies, the analysis highlights the importance of compositional characteristics and integrated and cascading systems that link residue properties with suitable processing routes and products. Mature options such as composting and anaerobic digestion (TRL 7-9) deliver benefits in soil health, nutrient recycling, and rural energy, whereas intermediate and emerging routes offer higher value creation but face stronger techno-economic, regulatory, and social barriers. Life-cycle assessment studies indicate substantial greenhouse gas mitigation and improved resource efficiency when residues are diverted from open burning, despite tradeoffs related to logistics, energy demand, and soil cover requirements. The article proposes a 2025-2040 roadmap prioritizing product standardization, low-energy pretreatments, integrated thermochemical-biological systems, green finance and cooperative governance, repositioning crop residues as key resources for circular bioeconomy strategies in emerging regions.","PeriodicalId":15720,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Environmental Science and Health Part B-pesticides Food Contaminants and Agricultural Wastes","volume":" ","pages":"1-23"},"PeriodicalIF":1.8,"publicationDate":"2026-04-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147674013","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
