    Abstract Sea ice in the marginal ice zone (MIZ) consists of relatively small floes with a wide size span. In response to oceanic and atmospheric forcing, it behaves as an approximately two-dimensional, highly polydisperse granular material. The established viscous-plastic rheologies used in continuum sea ice models are not suitable for the MIZ; the collisional rheology, in which sea ice is treated as a granular gas, captures only one aspect of the granular behaviour, typical for a narrow range of conditions when dynamics is dominated by binary floe collisions. This paper reviews rheology models and concepts from research on granular materials relevant for MIZ dynamics (average stress as a result of 'microscopic' interactions of grains; [Formula: see text] and collisional rheologies). Idealized discrete-element simulations are used to illustrate granular effects and strong influence of the floe size distribution on strain-stress relationships in sheared sea ice, demonstrating the need for an MIZ rheology model capturing the whole range of 'regimes', from quasi-static/dense flow in the inner MIZ to the inertial flow in the outer MIZ. This article is part of the theme issue 'Theory, modelling and observations of marginal ice zone dynamics: multidisciplinary perspectives and outlooks'.

    Abstract Whether decomposition can be affected by the biodiversity of soil organisms is an important question. Biodiversity is commonly expressed through indices that are based on species richness and abundances. Soil processes tend to saturate at low levels of species richness. A component of biodiversity is functional diversity, and we have shown that the absence of the influence of species richness on decomposition switched into a positive relationship between fauna diversity and decomposition when we expressed biodiversity in terms of interspecific functional dissimilarity. Communities with functionally dissimilar species are characterized by complementary resource use and facilitative interactions among species. It is suggested that the effects of environmental changes on ecosystem functions such as decomposition can be better understood if we have more knowledge about the selective effect of these changes on specific facets of soil biodiversity, such as functional diversity.

    Abstract The purpose of this review is to provide verified data on the current knowledge acquired in preclinical and clinical studies regarding topically used herbal products and their active constituents (formulations and dressings) with diabetic wound healing activity. Moreover, herbal products and their active constituents used for diabetic wound infections, and various cellular and molecular mechanisms of their actions will also be described. The electronic databases were searched for articles published from 2012 to 2022. Publications with oral or systemic administration of herbal products in diabetic wound healing, published before 2012, available only as an abstract, or in languages other than English were excluded from the study. The 59 articles comparing topically used herbal products in diabetic wound healing treatment versus control treatments (placebo or active therapy) were selected. Herbal products through different mechanisms of action, including antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory, antioxidant activity, stimulation of angiogenesis, production of cytokines and growth factors, keratinocytes, and fibroblast migration and proliferation may be considered as an important support during conventional therapy or even as a substitute for synthetic drugs used for diabetic wound treatment.

    Abstract The purpose of this review is to provide verified data on the current knowledge acquired from preclinical and clinical studies regarding topically used antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) with diabetic wound healing activity. The electronic databases were searched for articles published from 2012 to 2022. The 20 articles comparing topically used AMPs in diabetic wound healing treatment versus control treatments (placebo or active therapy) were selected. AMPs have several unique advantages in diabetic wound healing, such as a broad spectrum of antimicrobial activity even against antibiotic-resistant strains, and the capability to modulate the host's immune response and affect wound healing processes through various mechanisms of action. AMPs through antioxidant activity, stimulation of angiogenesis, keratinocytes, and fibroblast migration and proliferation may be considered an important support during conventional therapy used for diabetic wound treatment.
