Fruit Antioxidants: Are they Beneficial for Human Health?2009 •
There is substantial evidence that links increased consumption of fruits with increased protection from various degenerative diseases, such as cardiovascular disease, some cancers, and the onset of dementia. Fruits contain numerous components that could contribute to this health enhancing effect; many fruit components have the capacity to function as antioxidants, at least in vitro, and the antioxidant properties of fruit foods are often viewed as contributing substantially to the health effect. This review will attempt to describe and summarise the current knowledge about the antioxidant capacity of the major fruit types and the components that are consumed when these fruits are eaten. Although fruit components have substantial antioxidant capacity, as measured by in vitro assays, the significance in vivo of the consumption of fruit antioxidants is far from clear. The review will consider and summarise the research on the effect of fruit antioxidants on human health, with the aim of presenting an overall picture of the current state of knowledge in this area.

Žarko B. Veljković, Anamarija Fekete, Once More on the Personal Name Restoje and the Clerk Restoje ‘Milohna’ (*Milohnić) Summary: During the archeological excavations 1990-1995. of the site “St. John’s cemetery” (“Groblje Sv. Ive”) in Livno, Bosnia and Herzegovina, in the Cyrillic inscription [ЖИвa / р]8ı<а рɛсmо / ıɛвa // it’s been found written the masculine personal name Restoje. It is Restoje *Milohnić, the 15th century clerk, chancellor, courtier, protovestiarios and deputy of Bosnian kings, born in former inhabitated place, today’s toponyme Bužan between the villages of Prisoje and Miši in vicinity of Livno. In this article it is about the Restoje’s life and personal details, giving conclusion that he was (as well as his brothers Medoje and Nikola) a Serb, he spoke and wrote (Old) Serbian language, and wrote in Medieval (Serbian) Cyrillic script, formally and privatelly, and he was the bearer of a Serbian folk name, corradical and cognate with the baptismal name of Serbian St. Sabbas, Rastko, and, finally, he was undoubtely Catholic by birth, and he was given his own name Restoje perhaps in accordance to his father’s/parents’ wish that during all his life in his very self “(in Latin) crescat fides, (in Serbian) reste, i.e. raste (katolička i hrišćanska) vera (Catholic and Christian) faith grow”.

Abstract: The strongly inelastic behaviour of masonry panels makes inadequate any kind of linear static analyses, and for this reason, both for academic and practical purposes, engineers have to deal with non-linear analyses of masonry build-ings. On top of that, the need for non-linear static procedures (NSP) also arises as a consequence of the performance-based earthquake engineering concepts, that generally require the comparison of the seismic demand with the building ca-pacity, expressed in terms of displacements. Within this framework, the choice of the appropriate models to use is funda-mental matter: on one hand, the need for accurate predictions of the structural response leads to the adoption of very com-plex FEM models but, on the other and, the high computational skills and the very time-consuming analyses suggest the adoption of simplified models, such as the equivalent frame approach. The equivalent frame models are not novel for the analysis of masonry structures, but...
