“…As expected, we observed temporal trends-declines in concentrations metabolites of phthalates that have been the focus of legislative activities in past. On the other hand, after comparison with our study from 2020 [ 26 ], nowadays we can observe an increase in the median MiNP, which is used as a DEHP substituent. These results correspond well with other findings that observed changes in phthalate exposure in the last decade in the general population.…”

Background: Occupational health hazards associated with phthalate exposure among nurses are still not well understood. Methods: We used high-performance liquid chromatography and tandem mass spectrometry to analyze phthalates. Anthropometric measurements and questionnaires were conducted. Results: We observed associations between mono-benzyl phthalate (MBzP) and body mass index (BMI), hip circumference (HC), waist circumference (WC), waist to height ratio (WHtR), and fat mass index (FMI), visceral fat content, BMI risk and hip index risk (HIrisk), adjusted to consumer behavior and consumer practices (r = 0.36–0.61; p ≤ 0.046). In the same model, we detected an association between mono-n-butyl phthalate (MnBP) and waist to hip ratio (WHR; r = 0.36; p = 0.046), mono-carboxy-isononyl phthalate (cx-MiNP) and BMI (r = 0.37; p = 0.043), HC (r = 0.4; p = 0.026) and WHtR (r = 0.38; p = 0.037), between mono-oxo-isononyl phthalate oxo (MiNP) and HC (r = 0.36; p = 0.045), mono-2-ethylhexyl phthalate (MEHP), mono(2-ethyl-5-oxohexyl) phthalate (oxo-MEHP) and HIrisk (r = 0.38–0.41; p ≤ 0.036), between oxo-MEHP and Anthropometric Risk Index (ARI risk; r = 0.4; p = 0.028). We detected a relationship between BMI and MBzP (β = 0.655; p < 0.001) and mono-2-ethylhexyl phthalate (MEHP; β = −0.365; p = 0.003), between hip circumference and MBzP (β = 0.486; p < 0.001), MEHP (β = −0.402; p = 0.001), and sum of secondary metabolites of diisononyl phthalate (∑DiNP; β = 0.307; p = 0.016). We observed a relationship between fat content and MBzP (β = 0.302; p = 0.033), OH-MnBP (β = −0.736; p = 0.006) and MiBP (β = 0.547; p = 0.046), visceral fat content and MBzP (β = 0.307; p = 0.030), HI-risk and MBzP (β = 0.444; p = 0.001), ARI-risk and sum of di-n-butyl phthalate metabolites (∑DnBP; β = 0.337; p = 0.018). We observed an association between the use of protective equipment with cx-MiNP. Conclusions: Occupational exposure to phthalates may induce abdominal obesity and result in obesity-related metabolic disorders.

“…Professor Jana Duchovicova is an expert in education sciences and teacher training, and is developing cooperation with Kazan Federal University [33]. UKF also has long-term cooperation with Spanish scientists; joint studies have been published, for example, on Danish philosopher S. Kierkegaard and his work [34], refugees' acquisition of L2 [35], and on topics related to natural sciences [36][37][38]. The cooperation between UFK and Spanish Kierkegaardian researchers goes back a long way, Specifically, since 2008 (Kierkegaard and Faith, Barcelona: University of Barcelona), more specifically with Dr. José García Martín (University of Granada) and the Kierkegaardian society he presides (Sociedad Hispánica de Amigos de Kierkegaard).…”

The paper outlines the adverse consequences and challenges induced by COVID-19 pandemic for the whole world and for universities in particular. The example of Constantine the Philosopher University in Nitra illustrates the difficulties and challenges caused by the pandemic in relation to the two main activities arising from the university mission-teaching and research. It presents some particular aspects of the university activities adversely affected by COVID-19 and shares the measures to minimize the resulted damages. Furthermore, it demonstrates that, despite complications induced by COVID-19, teaching, research, and international cooperation have been successfully continued.

“…Food packaging migration has been shown to occur in many different packaging materials such as recycled cardboard packaging, milk bottles, canned food, and water bottles . Related studies include the migration of diisononyl orthophthalate (DINP) from paper packaging materials made of recycled carbonless copy paper to foods, the migration of DBP, BBP, and DEHP from aluminum foil laminates to butter, the transmission of PAEs from polyethylene terephthalate (PET) bottles stored at high temperatures for 10 weeks to water, the migration of PAEs from plastic packaging to sea salts and curries, the migration of PAEs from cans to vegetables and fruits, and the migration of DEHP from plasticized caps or cap seals of glass packages to foods Moreover, numerous studies have shown higher concentrations of PAE metabolites in the urine of individuals who regularly consume plastic packaged foods. ,, Consumers usually perceive paper and board as safe and healthy because of their natural wood origin. However, chemical hazards from potential migrants, such as labels and printing, must also be considered .…”

Phthalate esters (PAEs), which are commonly used as plasticizers in food processing and packaging, are common pollutants. Dietary intake is the primary route to human exposure to PAEs. Data show that retail packaged and cooked foods are most likely to be contaminated with PAEs, indicating that the food preparation and cooking processes may contribute to the migration and transformation of PAEs in food. In this review, we collected the latest investigations on the occurrence of PAEs in different food categories, discussed the mechanisms of the fate of PAEs during cooking, and summarized the reduction measures of PAEs in food. Foods such as water and beverages, meat, condiments, and baby foods are linked to PAE exposure. Many cooking techniques and procedures, including steaming, boiling, microwave heating, toasting, frying, and packaging, are responsible for the occurrence, migration, and transformation of PAEs in foods. The occurrence, transformation, and migration of PAEs in food are influenced by a variety of factors, including food categories, the cooking process, packaging materials, and physicochemical properties of PAEs. There are several ways to prevent or reduce PAEs in food, including the selection of safe packaging materials, proper food categories, cooking methods, and replacement of PAEs.
