Effect of wet-aging with vitamin C on quality biomarkers of biceps femoris muscles collected from sustainable management of Cervus elaphus L. population from northern eastern carpathians, Romania
(University of Agricultural Sciences and Veterinary Medicine, Bucharest , Romania, 2024) Boișteanu, Paul-Corneliu; Flocea, Elena-Iuliana; Ciobanu, Marius-Mihai
This work aims to investigate Wet-Aging with Vitamin C on chemical properties of Biceps femoris muscles collected from sustainable management of Cervus elaphus L. population from Northern Eastern Carpathians, Romania. 2% Alkaline Vitamin C Powder per 0.520 kg muscle sample, 4% Alkaline Vitamin C Powder per 0.504 sample kg, and 6% Alkaline Vitamin C Powder per 0.496 kg sample were used. Samples were protected from light and kept at 2°C for 10 days in order not to accelerate oxidative stress of the muscle samples. The influence of Vitamin C used in the wet-aging method was tested by performing quality biomarkers analyses. Data distribution was evaluated using SPSS Statistics 26.0 software. Non-parametric Independent Samples Kruskal-Wallis test was performed to analyze how the percentage of protein, water, collagen, and fat varied with the concentration of vitamin C in muscle samples. The results suggest that there are significant differences for quality biomarkers (***p < 0.001) in the percentage of fat, water, protein, and collagen in particular, between the percentages of 4.00 % and 6.00% Vitamin C introduced. Bonferroni correction was applied to counteract errors for multiple assays and to reduce the chance of an erroneous conclusion.

Aquaculture In Transition: Predictive Insights Into Romanian Aquaculture Production
(University of Agricultural Sciences and Veterinary Medicine, Bucharest , Romania, 2024) Gheorghe-Irimia, Raluca-Aniela; Tăpăloagă, Dana; Șonea, Cosmin; Usturoi, Alexandru; Tăpăloagă, Paul-Rodian
The significance of aquaculture in contributing to global food security is well-established, especially as traditional fishery yields plateau. Recognizing the essential role of hatcheries and nurseries in sustainable development, this paper examines Romanian aquaculture, predicting production trends until 2034. Employing time-series analysis via Microsoft Excel, it forecasts production at various life cycle stages, from eggs to juveniles, excluding mature aquaculture outputs. The study highlights expected outputs alongside their associated confidence intervals, pinpointing potential fluctuations. The forecasted trends in Romanian aquaculture highlight the potential for growth in the sector, reflecting an industry poised to meet future demands. However, the variability encapsulated within the confidence intervals suggests that stakeholders should remain adaptable to changes. Strategic planning should therefore incorporate these forecasts while also considering environmental, economic, and technological developments that could influence production. The findings underscore the need for ongoing research and adaptive management to maintain and enhance the contribution of aquaculture to food security and economic development in Romania and beyond.

Influence Of Formal And Non-Formal Educational Activities On The Academic Integration Of First-Year Students Of "Ion Ionescu De La Brad" University Of Life Sciences (Iuls) Iasi, Romania, For Reducing Early Dropout
(University of Agricultural Sciences and Veterinary Medicine, Bucharest , Romania, 2024) Brezuleanu, Carmen-Olguța; Sîrghea, Alina; Mihalache, Roxana; Ungureanu, Elena; Brezuleanu, Stejărel
University dropout has become a worrying reality for the education system in general, but also for Romania in particular, which ranks first in Europe. Thus, the worrying phenomenon of early university leaving is a phenomenon that has complex causes and therefore requires a variety of ways to combat it. These include the development of a supportive extra-curricular environment and individualized teaching practices focused on student-centered learning to support their potential. The aim of the research undertaken in this paper is to demonstrate the contribution of learning support activities in a formal and non-formal environment to the progress of first year of "Iasi University of Life Sciences" (IULS) students in the Faculties of Agriculture and Horticulture in reducing dropout. The qualitative research methodology was carried out through a review of the literature on university dropout, predominantly early. The case study, as a quantitative research method, is composed of a questionnaire containing 13 questions applied to first year students at IULS Iasi. The resulting data were processed and analyzed by statistical methods, and after interpreting the results we formed an overview of the problem of the causes of early university dropout of first year students and thus could apply personalized support measures. As a result of the steps taken in this respect, adaptability to the university environment increased and early university leaving was reduced, which provided us with a working model. This work has an innovative character in terms of the educational support measures provided to first year students at IULS Iasi, which constitute a model of good practice for increasing the adaptability of first year students to the university environment and for reducing early dropout. These extracurricular activities, carried out in a formal and especially non-formal friendly environment in a modern way, must be continued and adapted to the students' needs, but taking into account the skills they need to acquire in order to finally integrate into the changing labour market.

Adaptation of entrepreneurial education and training in economics for the students of "Ion Ionescu de la Brad" University of Life Sciences (IULS) Iași, Romania, in the context of changing labour market needs
(University of Agricultural Sciences and Veterinary Medicine, Bucharest , Romania, 2024) Brezuleanu, Carmen-Olguța; Mihalache, Roxana; Brezuleanu, Mădălina-Maria; Ungureanu, Elena; Sîrghea, Alina
The role of university education in providing access to the labour market (employment) is reflected in increased employment opportunities for the educated population. The relationship between the unemployment rate and educational attainment is evident: the unemployment rate decreases as one moves from lower to higher levels of education. It can be seen that the unemployment rate, in terms of its size and dynamics, is inversely proportional to the level of education: it falls as the level of education rises, and vice versa. The aim of the research in this paper is to respond to the need to teach students with practical solutions for getting the skills needed to be easily employable in the labour market after graduation. The paper used a quantitative (questionnaire) and a qualitative (bibliometric) analysis. The data studied through the research shows the need for final-year students to receive additional practical skills training for employability. Entrepreneurship education, in addition to the university curriculum, can provide them with a viable alternative to increase their chances of integrating into the 21st century labour market. The innovative character of the work derives from the concrete practical activities that supported the optional entrepreneurial training of IULS students from Iasi. We can affirm, following the study undertaken, that the development of such additional and adapted educational activities increases young graduates' practical skills needed on the labour market. The access to non-reimbursable European funds, which offer additional educational opportunities to students, must be continued in order to produce the major economic effects expected by the whole Romanian society, with the aim of reducing youth unemployment.

The Use of Honey as A Bioactive Agent for Optimizing the Beef Maturation Process and the Impact on the Sensory Properties of the Final Product
(University of Agronomic Sciences and Veterinary Medicine of Bucharest, Romania, 2025) Munteanu, Mugurel; Flocea, Elena-Iuliana; Gucianu, Ioana; Mădescu, Bianca-Maria; Ciobanu, Marius-Mihai; Boișteanu, Paul-Corneliu
In human health concerns and diet diversification, food science research focuses on developing functional products, using sustainable and health-promoting methods. Beef, an important source of nutrients, is often rejected due to its sensory characteristics and tough texture, which is a challenge for consumers with dental problems. This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of honey as a bioactive agent in optimizing the beef maturation process, considering its beneficial effects on health and the environment. Three different concentrations of honey (10%, 20%, and 30%) applied in the wet-aging process for 48 hours were tested, followed by a thermal process and a detailed sensory evaluation. The use of honey as a natural bioactive agent in the wet-aging process of beef significantly improves meat quality, both in terms of physicochemical and sensory attributes, in a dose-dependent manner, without affecting internal color stability, thus offering benefits for consumer acceptability and the development of functional and sustainable food products.
