Resumen
Ocimum is considered the largest genus in the Lamiacea family. The genus includes basil, a group of aromatic plants with a wide range of culinary uses that nowadays draws attention for its medicinal and pharmaceutical potential. This systematic review intends to explore the chemical composition of nonessential oils and their variation across different Ocimum species. Moreover, we aimed to identify the state of knowledge regarding the molecular space in this genus as well as the different methods of extraction/identification and geographical location. Seventy-nine eligible articles were selected for the final analysis, from which we extracted more than 300 molecules. We found that the countries with the highest number of studies into Ocimum species are India, Nigeria, Brazil, and Egypt. However, from all known species of Ocimum, only 12 were found to have an extensive chemical characterization, particularly Ocimum basilicum and Ocimum tenuiflorum. Our study focused especially on alcoholic, hydroalcoholic, and water extracts, in which the main techniques for compound identifications are GC-MS, LC-MS, and LC-UV. Across the compiled molecules, we found a wide variety of compounds, especially flavonoids, phenolic acids, and terpenoids, suggesting that this genus could be a very useful source of possible bioactive compounds. The information collected in this review also emphasizes the huge gap between the vast number of Ocimum species discovered and the number of studies in each of them that determined the chemical characterization.

Enzymatic treatment shapes in vitro digestion pattern of phenolic compounds in mulberry juice
The health benefits of mulberry fruit are closely associated with its phenolic compounds. However, the effects of enzymatic treatments on the digestion patterns of these compounds in mulberry juice remain largely unknown. This study investigated the impact of pectinase (PE), pectin lyase (PL), and cellulase (CE) on the release of phenolic compounds in whole mulberry juice. The digestion patterns were further evaluated using an in vitro simulated digestion model. The results revealed that PE significantly increased chlorogenic acid content by 77.8 %, PL enhanced cyanidin-3-O-glucoside by 20.5 %, and CE boosted quercetin by 44.5 %. Following in vitro digestion, the phenolic compound levels decreased differently depending on the treatment, while cyanidin-3-O-rutinoside content increased across all groups. In conclusion, the selected enzymes effectively promoted the release of phenolic compounds in mulberry juice. However, during gastrointestinal digestion, the degradation of phenolic compounds surpassed their enhanced release, with effects varying based on the compound's structure.

What works in financial education? Experimental evidence on program impact
Financial education is increasingly essential for safeguarding both individual and corporate well-being. This study systematically reviews global financial education experiments using a dual-method framework that integrates a deep learning classifier with advanced multivariate statistical techniques. Our analysis indicates that while short-term improvements in financial literacy are common, such gains tend to diminish over time without ongoing reinforcement. Moreover, the limited impact of digital innovations and monetary incentives suggests that successful financial education depends on more than simply deploying technological solutions or extrinsic rewards. Overall, this review provides valuable insights into the evolving landscape of financial education in a dynamic economic context and underscores the need for sustainable strategies that secure lasting improvements in financial literacy.

Background Before the incorporation of enfortumab vedotin with pembrolizumab, the standard of care for patients with locally advanced or metastatic urothelial carcinoma who do not progress after platinum-based chemotherapy was avelumab maintenance therapy, as demonstrated by the JAVELIN 100 trial. However, real-world European data remain scarce. Patients and Methods AVEBLADDER is a retrospective study conducted at 14 hospitals in Northern Spain, including patients with locally advanced or metastatic urothelial carcinoma diagnosed between January 2021 and June 2023. Outcomes of overall survival (OS) and progression-free survival (PFS) were analyzed for patients treated with platinum-based chemotherapy, with and without subsequent avelumab maintenance therapy. non-avelumab patients. Median PFS was 11.33 months (95% CI: 10–13.6) with avelumab and 6.43 months (95% CI: 6–7.6) without. One-year OS probabilities were 81.6% vs. 45.6% (p < 0.001) in the avelumab and non-avelumab groups, respectively. No unexpected toxicities were reported. Conclusions Despite proven survival benefits, avelumab uptake in real-world practice is limited by barriers like access, reimbursement, and awareness. These findings align with JAVELIN 100 and underscore the need for further real-world studies to address treatment disparities.

Although financial literacy would seem relevant to university students’ education, it is not currently offered as a transversal subject within European academic curricula. It should therefore come as no surprise that a common solution are ad-hoc specific courses, with students often additionally acquiring valuable learning through their own experiences in business environments. With this and the recent literature on the drivers of financial literacy in mind, the authors decided to explore the context shaped by socio-demographic, academic and work-related factors that either promote or prevent European university students from developing appropriate financial skills, such as managing personal finances, planning for short- and long-term needs, and distinguishing among different sources of non-traditional funding. The study used a sample of 881 undergraduate and postgraduate university students from Romania, Poland and Spain from different studies, with information obtained through an anonymous online survey. The applied econometric model was cumulative regression with location-scale estimation using the R software, version 4.3.2, with variables associated directly with the development of basic financial skills being age, gender, country, but also specific training as well as work and entrepreneurial experience. The authors stress the importance of providing financial management education connected to the reality, especially the business and entrepreneurial environment.

Introduction: Aging is a biological and inevitable phenomenon associated with molecular and cellular damage over time. This process significantly increases the risk of various clinical syndromes, such as frailty and cognitive decline. Consequently, various tools, including physical exercise, have been developed to reduce or prevent these issues in the older population. Objective: The objective of this study is to assess the effectiveness of multicomponent exercise programs in individuals over 65 years, focusing on their effects in reducing signs of frailty and cognitive decline. Methods: Following PRISMA guidelines, searches were conducted in four databases: Pubmed, Google Scholar, Scielo, and Dialnet, selecting a total of twenty-two articles published between 2014 and 2024. Eight studies were chosen where multicomponent training was used to address frailty and cognitive decline. Results: The results from this systematic review indicate that engaging in a multicomponent exercise program for a minimum duration of 8-12 weeks improves signs of frailty and cognitive decline in older individuals. Conclusions: Multicomponent exercise also appears to be an effective tool in preventing and/or reducing disability, frailty, and cognitive decline.
