The cryptophyte Rhodomonas salina is widely used in aquaculture due to its high nutritional profile. This study aims to investigate the effect of salinity and pH on the growth, phycoerythrin concentrations, and concentrations of non-volatile umami taste active compounds of R. salina, using a design of …

Worldwide, fish species are the most threatened taxa among freshwater vertebrates and have declined by 76% over the past 40 years. Anthropogenic activities such as the construction of dykes and dams are the main cause of this. These obstacles are very important for contemporary society, but they pose …

As population density increases, the pollution of water is accelerated. Helophyte filters have shown great potential for the treatment of wastewater, and by adding the role of food cultivation by using edible aquatic macrophytes, the value of these systems can increase. The goal of this bachelor thesis …

Background: As the assistive and resistive properties of water can facilitate the performance of exercise, aquatic exercise therapy might be a promising rehabilitation modality for burn patients. This study aimed to investigate the feasibility and acceptability of aquatic exercise therapy in adult burn …

Large floating projects have the potential to overcome the challenge of land scarcity in urban areas and offer opportunities for energy and food production, or even for creating sustainable living environments. However, they influence the physical, chemical, biological and ecological characteristics …

With climate change and urban development, water systems are changing faster than ever. Currently, the ecological status of water systems is still judged based on single point measurements, without taking into account the spatial and temporal variability of water quality and ecology. There is a need …

Fresh water systems are rapidly changing and water quality is deteriorating as a result of climate change. Aquatic drones can help us understand these changes - which will be key to tackling water-related challenges ahead. The ideas presented in this article aim to inspire adaptation action – they are …

Motor activation is rarely integrated into the support of people with profound intellectual and multiple disabilities (PIMD), which might be the result of the limited evidence-based knowledge in this field. Practitioners have recently been developing several motor initiatives for people with PIMD, but …
