ABSTRACTIn this study, 40 milk samples (10 raw cow milk, 10 camel milk, 10 pasteurised milk, and 10 ultra-high temperature milk) were randomly collected from Golestan Province (including two cities, Gorgan and Gonbad-e Kavus) from December 2021 to March 2022. Aflatoxin M1(AFM1) level was determined by the high-performance chromatography method. AFM1 was found in all samples. The mean concentration of AFM1 in raw cow milk, camel milk, pasteurised milk, and ultra-high temperature milk were 72.81 ± 2.18, 57.10 ± 1.86, 34.73 ± 1.34, and 49.36 ± 1.78 ng/kg, respectively. The highest level of AFM1 was found in raw cow milk (p < 0.05). According to the EU standard of AFM1 level, pasteurised milk is the safest type of milk in Golestan Province.KEYWORDS: Aflatoxin M1milkGolestan provinceIran AcknowledgmentsThe present paper is derived from data in the thesis of the first author for the degree of Doctor of Veterinary Medicine. The authors would like to thank Dr Alireza Ahmadzadeh for undertaking the statistical analysis employed in the paper.Disclosure statementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the author(s).

ABSTRACTEven in peacetime, bad farming practices have degraded the soil but war has exacerbated the situation. To support comprehensive land rehabilitation, publicly available data are scrutinised to establish the composition of soils under shelling, bombing, missile strikes and pollution by fuels and lubricants. These data show that the content of various toxic substances exceeds permissible limits several-fold, and soil acidity is increased. Heavy contamination with fuels and lubricants changes the soil’s chemical and physical properties, killing all but the most resilient flora and fauna.KEYWORDS: Soil degradationtoxic substancesheavy metalsreclamation Disclosure statementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the author(s).

ABSTRACTChernozem soils occupу 65% of Ukraine’s cropland. They are the gold standard of soils thanks to their physical, chemical and biological attributes, the thickness of their topsoil, and their legendary fertility. But these qualities have been degraded under the plough; for instance, the content of organic matter is now only about 20% of what it was in Dokuchaev’s day. The further destruction of war poses a direct threat to food security at home and abroad. Restoring the fertility of the chernozem is a key to achieving a more sustainable agricultural system and adapting to climate change. We present recommendations and sustainable management practices.KEYWORDS: Chernozemirrigationfertilitystate management Disclosure statementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the author(s).

ABSTRACTWar always results in civilian casualties and destruction of civilian infrastructure, architectural monuments and historic buildings. Systematic analysis of the current situation of historic sites in the occupied territories reveals fundamental problems and unresolved issues in preserving the heritage of areas that are not under the control of the Kyiv government. There are shortcomings in the regulatory framework of legal status, protection and preservation, as well as violations in the occupied territories. The activities ofvarious countries in determining the status of historical monuments are reviewed. Positive and negative aspects of the policy of protection and restoration of cultural heritage objects are outlined, and practical recommendations are made for improving the protection of historical monuments in the occupied territories.KEYWORDS: Historylegislationhostilitiesculturearchitecturegenocide Disclosure statementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the author(s).
