Acute beneficial effects of a functional energy shot on cognitive performance and mood states during cognitively demanding task performance: a randomized, double-blind, placebo-con... by Olivia K. O’Shea, Olivia K. O’Shea, Nathan Lawley, Anna Azzopardi, Allison Gutkowski, Michelle Murphy Niedziela, Rachel Horn, David O. Kennedy, Jason Adamson

“…Additionally, the shot mitigated negative effects associated with extended cognitive tasks, reducing perceived mental fatigue and increasing perceived alertness and energy. Working memory tasks showed faster performance post-consumption, and mood assessments revealed positive effects on vigor, fatigue and overall mood disturbance.DiscussionThese results indicate wide cognitive and mood effects of this functional energy shot, potentially attributable to synergistic combination of active ingredients.Clinical trial registrationclinicaltrials.gov, identifier NCT06384586.…”

Justification of military neutrality of the Republic of Serbia at a time of erosion of neutrality in Europe by Kajtez Ilija, Starčević Srđan

“…Authors conclude that military neutrality represents a favorable strategic option for the Republic of Serbia, not just due to painful collective memory of Serbian citizens of the NATO aggression on Yugoslavia and the support of the Russian Federation to Serbia in regards to Kosovo and Metohija, but also due to the intrinsic values of neutrality which could become an identity attribute and a foundation of the renewal of solidarity in Serbian society.…”
