of years as natural medicines with therapeutic and other pharmacologic
effects. Bioactive compounds found in plants, such as flavonoids, trace minerals,
essential oils, phenols, glycosides, alkaloids, and tannins, can affect
microbial growth, reproduction, and essential cell functions. Plants of the
Amaranthaceae family have a broad range of bioactive phytochemical
constituents, which provide a variety of medicinal benefits. This review article
discusses the characteristics of Amaranthaceae plants that may indicate their
use as medicinal plants, especially against infectious diseases. According to the
literature, Amaranthaceae plants contain considerable levels of bioactive
compounds that make them effective in traditional medicine, even though their
impact on numerous microbes has yet to be examined.]]>

the problem of heavy metal contamination in the environment, most notably in
the soil. Phytoremediation is one approach for tackling this issue through the use of leafy plants for the uptake of excess heavy metals from the soil. An example of such plant species are the members of the Brassica genus which, when put in
contact with different heavy metals present in soil, will act to remove them and
therefore decrease their concentration. Heavy metals that are mostly observed in
this context were copper, lead, and zinc, because of their abundance in different ecological environments. Different plants in general have a satisfactory phytoremediation potential, depending on the plant part, heavy metals in question, as well as used remediation technique. Therefore, introducing Brassica spp. into use would be a good way of enhancing the quality of the environment.]]>

Journal of Natural Sciences and Engineering (JONSAE) is a peer-reviewed biannual journal that aims at the publication and dissemination of original research articles on the latest developments in the fundamental theory, practice and application of engineering, science, and technology.

We provide a platform for researchers, academicians, professionals, practitioners, and students to impart and share knowledge in the form of high-quality empirical and theoretical research papers. The journal covers all areas of Genetics and Bioengineering, Electrical and Electronics Engineering, Information Technology, Architecture, Applied Mathematics, Computer Sciences, and Civil Engineering.

In this issue, I would like to express my gratitude to our authors and manuscript reviewers for their unselfish effort. You have continued your commitment and diligence to the Journal in helping us to produce quality and meaningful content that has the opportunity to advance the field. All of us had personal and professional challenges due to the pandemic and yet despite this, we managed to produce quality content and improve JONSAE’s indexation and future perspectives in terms of its metrics and quality growth. Thank you all for being part of this wonderful academic endeavor. We have both original research and literature review articles published in this issue. Our readers can learn details about how data technology and engineering ventures can contribute to medicine in the form of predictions for depression and anxiety as well as how to use machine learning-based gene clustering in brain cancer classification. Also, you can find out what is the potential of biomaterial-based solutions in cancer research treatment and can homicides be solved using the classification method. In the end, you can read about a staple gene in pharmacogenomics research, CYP4F2*3, and the effect of its polymorphism on different traits, including optimum anticoagulation therapy administration based on the patient’s genetics.
In the end, we plan to build upon the excellent editorial infrastructure in the next years. In addition to managing the normal turnover of the Editorial Board members, we will seek to expand it by recruiting additional members who can provide expertise in areas that are not currently well represented. In particular, we hope to recruit board members with expertise in such areas as statistical and biostatistical methods, computer science, bioengineering, and biomedical engineering, among others. We also hope to leverage the expertise of the Editorial Board members to train the next generation of scholars and potential Editorial Board members by finding ways to pair student reviewers with senior reviewers for a peer-review mentorship as a part of building a better research environment for new scientists. A similar approach is planned for the administrative members of the Editorial Board, with the aim of improving the quality of the
overall Journal design and acquiring a modern visual identity.

Having in mind all stated, I wholeheartedly invite you to read this issue and join our team.

Yours sincerely,
Adna Ašić, PhD
