Lactic Fermented Fruit or Vegetable Juices: Past, Present and Future

Numerous traditional low-alcohol fermented beverages produced from fruit or vegetables are described around the world. Fruit and vegetables and lactic fermented products both present nutritional benefits, which give reasons for the recent expansion of non-dairy lactic fermented juices on the market. In addition, fruit and vegetable juices are new carriers for probiotic bacteria. Specific phenotypic traits of lactic acid bacteria (LAB) are required so that LAB can effectively grow in fruit or vegetable juices, increase their safety and improve their sensory and nutritional quality. From the diversity of microbiota of spontaneous fermentations, autochthonous starters can be selected, and their higher performance than allochthonous LAB was demonstrated. Achieving long-term storage and constant high quality of these beverages requires additional processing steps, such as heat treatment. Alternatives to conventional treatments are investigated as they can better preserve nutritional properties, extract bioactive compounds and promote the growth and metabolism of LAB. Specific processing approaches were shown to increase probiotic viability of fruit and vegetable juices. More knowledge on the metabolic activity of lactic acid bacterium consortium in fruit or vegetable juices has become a bottleneck for the understanding and the prediction of changes in bioactive compounds for functional beverages development. Hopefully, the recent developments of metabolomics and methods to describe enzymatic machinery can result in the reconstruction of fermentative pathways.
Music & Memory: The Impact of Individualized Music Listening on Depression, Agitation, and Positive Emotions in Persons with Dementia

ABSTRACT This study aimed to investigate the impact of a music-based intervention on depression, agitation, and positive emotions among 23 persons with dementia, using a crossover design. Along with a caregiver, each participant received a total of 16 sessions of individualized music listening. All sessions were filmed, resulting in 362 videos, and the content was analyzed. Depression scores decreased significantly over time while agitated behavior showed a constant moderate level without any significant decreases. Positive emotions occurred significantly more often than negative emotions during the music listening. Individualized music listening induced positive emotions and reduced depression scores over time.
Near Misses Experienced at a University Hospital in Korea

Original Articles Near Misses Experienced at a University Hospital in Korea 2 Objectives: This study aimed to investigate how many healthcare professionals experienced near misses, what types of near misses occurred most often, and healthcare professionals’opinions about near misses at one university hospital in Korea. Methods: The authors developed a questionnaire including 26 core types of near misses and 4 questions about preventability and reporting barriers. The survey was conducted from Oct. 31st to Nov. 18th 2011, about 3 weeks, using a self-administrated questionnaire that was administered to 697 healthcare professionals (registered nurses, pharmacists, technicians, and nurses aides) who worked at a university hospital. Medical doctors and employees working in the department of administration were excluded. Results: About half of hospital workers experienced at least one or more near misses during the past one year. The drug dispensing process was the most common subcategory of near misses. Among the 26 items, patient falls was highest. Over 95% of respondents reported that the near miss they experienced was preventable. Also, more than half of respondents did not report the near miss and the main reason for omission was fear of blame. Conclusion: Regarding patient safety issues, a near miss is a very significant factor because it can be a potential adverse event. Therefore, we should grasp the size of the problem through tracking and analyzing near misses and should make an effort to reduce them. To do so, we should check whether our reporting system is well designed and functioning.

Development and testing of markers for genotyping of 'Entamoeba histolytica'

Only one in ten Entamoeba histolytica infections is invasive but they are responsible for an annual death toll of up to 100,000 people. A key question in amoebiasis is, therefore, what is responsible for the variable outcome of infection. To investigate whether it is linked to the genotype of the infecting strain, we developed 6 pairs of species-specific primers for genotyping after investigating 46 potentially polymorphic short tandem repeat loci adjacent to tRNA genes that were identified during the E. histolytica genome project. We tested the primers using E. histolytica samples from Bangladesh and 11 other countries. Results revealed that the genotypes present in 3 different clinical populations - asymptomatic, diarrhoeal/dysenteric and liver abscess - were different from each other. A few individual genotypes also showed links to the outcome of infection although their sample coverage was low and therefore they had little predictive value. Although the loci used as polymorphic markers are unlikely to be directly responsible for the outcome of infection, the results do suggest that parasite genetic factors are at least partly responsible. Our multilocus genotyping method is simple and reliable as it amplifies DNA extracted from axenic or xenic culture, stool samples, and liver abscess pus samples. We believe that these markers will help in studying the patterns of transmission of this important disease and the epidemiological links between individual infections.
Causes of Business Process Reengineering Failure in the Kingdom of Bahrain and Saudi Arabia

Business Process Reengineering (BPR) has been one of the methodologies which aims at achieving a radical change that would drive the organization to new heights and assists it to harness its potential. Even though there are literature that marked lots of success stories in BPR projects, there are also other literature that cited a failure rate that reaches 70%. To investigate the reasons behind BPR project failure, secondary data from past literature relevant to our research provided a platform to devise a wide-ranging register of ninety one (91) potential contributors to BPR project failure. These factors were reproduced in a Likert type questionnaire to elicit the views of respondents and allow the researcher carry out causal analysis. The data collected in the empirical field research from Kingdom of Bahrain and Kingdom of Saudi Arabia which accounts for one hundred and ninety two (192) responses, it was diverse in terms of process, industry, managerial position, company size and others. The analysis showed that the improper reengineering of IS legacy systems, ineffective process redesign problems, IT investment & sourcing decision, training problems and ineffective use of consultants are the most significant contributors to a BPR project failure whereby these factors can collectively explain about 69.8% of the variation in the BPR project failure. IBM-SPSS software was used in the data analysis phase of this work.
New Approaches to Literacy Problems: Multiliteracies and Inclusive Pedagogies

This study investigates the Alternative Certification Program (ACP) students’ motivations to become teachers. Fit-Choice Scale is used. Sample of the study consists of 248 participants in three groups i.e. Health, Sports and Mathematics. Descriptive and inferential statistics, and content analysis are used to examine ACP students’ reasons to want to become teachers, and to investigate differences regarding their primary career choices, age and gender. The results showed that social, intrinsic career and personal utility values are the highly rated motivation factors. Teaching is perceived as a highly skillful occupation and a high status profession by the ACP students. Relationships between ACP students’ motivations and perceptions with their primary career choices, age and gender are identified. Health group had higher motivation for time for family, and Sports group had higher motivation for ability and job security. Mathematics group’s motivation for job transferability, perception scores of salary and social status of teaching profession and career choice satisfaction were lower than the other groups. Yet their perception scores of difficulty was higher than the others. ACP students older than the mean age of 26 had higher scores of self-perceptions of ability, intrinsic career value, job transferability and work with children factors than their young classmates. Significant differences are observed between male and female participants’ motivation of having time for family. Together with contrasting findings and particular similarities with the previous research, these relationships are used to conclude that ACP students themselves have different motivation patterns. Influence of sample characteristics and contextual features are also acknowledged.
An effective model for mechanical properties of nacre-inspired continuous fiber-reinforced laminated composites

Abstract The rigorous organic and inorganic laminated structure of natural nacre has achieved the perfect performance of stiffness. A series of nacre-like materials made of single-fiber have been prepared, and with them, a giant amount of costly and time consuming experiments came. In this study, an effective model and nacre-inspired continuous fiber-reinforced laminated composites were developed. The numerical analysis of the elastic modulus (representation of stiffness) of the nacre-inspired continuous fiber-reinforced laminated composites were discussed. From the results, the elastic modulus along x-axis (Ex) of basalt-carbon hybrid-layer nacre-inspired continuous fiber-reinforced laminated composites were 33.667 GPa, increasing by 33.7% compared with single-basalt nacre-inspired continuous fiber-reinforced laminated composites (Ex=25.181 GPa) and decreasing by 23.3% compared with single-carbon nacre-inspired continuous fiber-reinforced laminated composites (Ex=43.916 GPa). And the increase in the Ex was much more than decreased. Furthermore, basalt-carbon hybrid-woven nacre-inspired continuous fiber-reinforced laminated composites (Ex=33.980 GPa) showed the similar properties with basalt-carbon hybrid-layer nacre-inspired continuous fiber-reinforced laminated composites (difference in Ex with 0.9%), but the former has a better isotropic performance. These results by finite element method were in accordance with the experimental results obtained by tensile tests. This work presented an effective model to evaluate the mechanical properties of composites.
Development a National Minimum Data Set for Disability in Iran: A Prerequisite for Development and Implementation of Electronic Disability Records

Dear Editor, Disability is a common unavoidable human condition such that it can affect the health and life of every person whether provisionally or perpetually. Nearly 15% of people around the world are affected by disability, three percent of which are severe. Indigent, jobless women and elder people are determinants factors of disability (1). A study by Soltani et al. found that disability in Iran has been reduced from about 4% in 1997 to 1.3% in 2011. However, because of population aging, modification in disability definition, increasing of long-term illnesses and consequences of accidents, floods, earthquakes, drugs and medicaments addiction, disability rate is increasing in Iran and globally. Soltani et al. argued that the decreasing trend of disability in Iran was due to a variation in the description of disability and the diverseness of the data gathering method (2). Providing health care services to people with disabilities and vulnerable groups is considered one of the main responsibilities of health industry managers in countries (3). High-quality data play a key role in planning, policymaking, and providing health care services (2). In addition, providing quality data to people with disabilities and empowering them with new technologies are essential (4). However, little information is available on people with disabilities in undeveloped and developing countries (1). Moreover, much less information is usually collected about people with a lower level of disabilities compared to people with more severe disabilities. The standardization of data and their comparability at both national and international levels are essential for benchmarking and monitoring disability policies (2). Minimum data set (MDS) facilitates the collection of accurate, complete and consistent data in a specific field and enables the comparability of data at different national and international levels. On the other hand, MDS is a standard tool for the collection of data and can feed health information systems. Developing and applying MDS is a prerequisite for effective disease management in the healthcare industry and is considered an approach to improve the quality of care. The MDS provides an organized approach to data management that enhances the effectiveness of the care plan. This tool provides reliable definitions for common terms and data elements by identifying necessary data in each field and enables the collection of high-quality data. Therefore, the main purpose of MDS is to make data comparability and conformity at different national and international levels possible via data standardization (5). The development of MDS should be done nationally according to domestic experts’ perspective in accordance with national regulations and requirements (6). The design of the MDS will be done in two stages, including reviewing existing literature and resources used in the field of disability and implementing the Decision Delphi technique based on experts’ agreement.
Influence of Dynamics Viscosity on the Water Base Graphene Oxide–Ethylene Glycol/Graphene Oxide–Water Nanofluid Flow Over a Stretching Cylinder

This research paper presents the impact of dynamics viscosity of water base GO–EG (graphene oxide–ethylene glycol)/GO–W (graphene oxide–water) nanofluid over a stretching cylinder with non-porous medium. The impact of different parameter for both velocity and temperature profile are displayed and discussed graphically. The similarity transformation are used to convert the partial differential equation to nonlinear ordinary differential equation. The solution of the problem is obtained using the optimal homotopy analysis method (OHAM). (Liao, S. J., 2010. An optimal homotopy-analysis approach for strongly nonlinear differential equations. Communications in Nonlinear Science and Numerical Simulation, 15, pp.2003–2016) used this method for the solution of nonlinear problem and show that this method is quickly convergent to the approximate solution. This method gives us series solution in the form of function, and all the physical parameters of the problem involved in this method. The stability of the problems is also obtained up to the 30th order approximation using the BVPh 2.0 package. The outputs are displayed graphically and discussed. The effects of various parameters on the skin friction coefficient and Nusselt number coefficient of base GO–EG/GO–Ware displayed and discussed.
Karen Education and Boundary-Making at the Thai-Burmese Borderland

ABSTRACT This article argues that schooling and education are boundary-making devices in the volatile borderland straddling Burma and Thailand. We show that the development of Karen education was one of the ways in which the Karen National Union (KNU) erected ideological, symbolic and cultural boundaries to keep this borderland separate from the Burmese and Thai states. We draw attention to the conflict in what is considered valued knowledge, the recognition of learning, and who is considered the legitimate authority to manage education at the local and school levels. In fact, examining Karen education at the Thai-Burmese borderland is more than just a description of schooling: it is an examination of the struggle over governance and identity, and ultimately of understandings of sovereignty and nationhood. Moreover, the changing political landscapes in Thailand and Burma have now drawn this borderland and its education into the orbit of the national sphere, provoking a redefinition of notions of governance and nationhood.
Simulation studies on photovoltaic response of ultrathin CuSb(S/Se)2 ternary compound semiconductors absorber‐based single junction solar cells

Copper‐based ternary CuSb(S/Se)2 compound semiconductors are showing promise for ultrathin photovoltaic devices. The high absorption coefficient of these semiconductors makes them suitable for very thin absorber, where maximum absorption can be achieved in a photovoltaic device with only nanometers thick CuSb(S/Se)2 based thin films. The device structure under consideration consists of AZO/i‐ZnO/n‐CdS/absorber layer/back contact, as the constituent material layers. The device structure is simulated using one dimensional solar cell capacitance simulator (SCAPS 1D) under one sun illumination and considering flat band approximation for the back contact and CuSb(S/Se)2 interface. The optimized single junction device efficiencies are approximately 14% and approximately 10.18% with CuSbS2 and CuSbSe2 absorbers, respectively. Further, the impact of various material parameters such as thickness, acceptor concentration of bulk absorber layer, donor concentration of CdS buffer layer, and defects present at bulk absorber layer and at the buffer/absorber interface is discussed in correlation with the photovoltaic performance of the considered devices. The bandgap of CuSb(S/Se)2 reduces linearly with Se alloying, and their impact on device performance is quantified in terms of capacitance voltage (CV), capacitance frequency (Cf), and impedance spectra of the photovoltaic device.
