Authors: Shoshiwa Mary , Ilembo Bahati , Sungau Joseph
Published: November 2024

This paper examined the status of lean manufacturing implementation in food and beverage SMEs in the selected two regions through lean tools integrated and lean outputs achieved. The study employed a mixed method approach. Qualitative and quantitative designs were used to inform the analysis. The study used cluster random sampling with a sample of 120 industries consisting of different small and medium food and beverage processing industries. We used descriptive statistics and Index of Relative Importance to rank indicators for both lean tools implementation and lean output. Factor analysis was also used to identify the underlying relationships of the variables for lean implementation.  Results show that majority of the food and beverage SMEs have adopted and implemented work standardization through presences of operation procedures to avoid variations; followed by Statistical Process Control. Also, out of the seventeen lean tools indicators, five are highly implemented in most of the selected industries for increasing process utilization, efficiency and quality improvement with the remaining twelve not highly implemented. Further, results revealed that, defective products are highly reduced in the SMEs after the implementation of lean tools, followed by reduction of inappropriate processing of products. It is recommended that, in order to identify areas for improvement, necessary for industry sustainability, the industries must do lean assessments, monitoring and evaluation mechanisms to ensure the continuous improvement of lean practices. Also, tailoring lean strategies to specific sectors within SMEs is very important.

MODULAÇÃO DOS EFEITOS NO CONTROLE DIFUSO DE CONSTITUCIONALIDADE
Authors: Adorno Geovana dos Santos , Adry Ana Cristina , Neves Isadora Ferreira
Published: November 2024

A modulação dos efeitos é um mecanismo que permite ao tribunal limitar a eficácia de uma declaração de inconstitucionalidade, tornando-a válida a partir de seu trânsito em julgado ou de outro momento fixado. Assim, o presente trabalho analisa a modulação temporal dos efeitos da decisão e sua aplicabilidade no controle difuso de constitucionalidade desde que existam razões de segurança jurídica ou de excepcional interesse social, considerando que o ordenamento jurídico brasileiro abriu exceção à teoria da nulidade do ato inconstitucional, tradicionalmente adotada no Brasil, se aproximando  da teoria da anulabilidade, que foi palco de dúvidas a respeito da constitucionalidade, legitimidade, abrangência e modo de aplicabilidade desta norma. Ademais, busca responder a questionamentos centrais sobre a viabilidade da modulação, a sua evolução e a diferença entre as teorias da nulidade e da anulabilidade. O método utilizado na pesquisa foi o  bibliográfico, por meio de pesquisas em artigos científicos, teses, monografias, legislações e jurisprudência, com método de abordagem dedutivo, que permitiu buscar informações acerca do problema, obtendo-se os resultados esperados quanto à constitucionalidade da técnica da modulação temporal dos efeitos da decisão no âmbito do controle difuso, cujos efeitos permitem  que o STF restrinja a eficácia temporal de suas decisões, ocasião em que a declaração de inconstitucionalidade pode não retroagir, preservando situações já consolidadas.

Authors: Silva Ana Beatriz Magalhães , Santos Francine Pinto dos
Published: November 2024

Introdução: Com aproximadamente 570 mil casos novos por ano no mundo o câncer do colo do útero é o quarto tipo de câncer mais comum entre as mulheres. As alterações causadas pelo vírus, bem como as lesões pré-cancerosas e cancerosas são identificadas no exame Papanicolau, e são curáveis na quase totalidade dos casos. Objetivo: Analisar os reflexos da pandemia no rastreamento do câncer de colo de útero em mulheres no município de Ilhéus-Bahia no período pré-pandêmico, pandêmico e pós pandemia da Covid-19. Materiais e Métodos: Trata-se de um estudo observacional com abordagens descritivas realizados no Estado da Bahia no município Ilhéus. A coleta de dados foi realiza pelo site do Ministério da saúde, Data SUS e o SISCAN no qual constam o número de rastreamentos de exames citopatológicos cérvico-vaginais com microflora realizados entre os anos de 2018-2023 em mulheres de todas as faixas etárias registradas a partir do período do painel do Ministério da saúde. Resultados: Observou-se que no ano de 2020, ocorreu uma considerável redução de exames citopatológicos. Ao total, foram realizados 2.731 coleta ano.  Em contrapartida, indicou-se que, entre os anos de 2018-2019 mulheres entre 35 a 39 anos, apresentou o maior número de lesões de alto grau. Subsequente aos resultados de HSIL, observou-se que mulheres com a faixa etária entre 15 a 19 anos possuí uma grande recorrência por infecção.

Modeling 2020 regulatory changes in international shipping emissions helps explain anomalous 2023 warming
Authors: Quaglia Ilaria , Visioni Daniele
Published: November 2024

Abstract. The summer of 2023 saw an anomalous increase in temperatures even when considering the ongoing greenhouse-gas-driven warming trend. Here we demonstrate that regulatory changes to sulfate emissions from international shipping routes, which resulted in a significant reduction in sulfate particulate released during international shipping starting on 1 January 2020, have been a major contributing factor to the monthly surface temperature anomalies during the last year. We do this by including the appropriate changes to emission databases developed for the Climate Model Intercomparison Project version 6 (CMIP6) in Community Earth System Model (CESM2) simulations. The aerosol termination effect simulated by the updated CESM2 simulations of +0.14±0.07 W m−2 and 0.08 K±0.03 K is consistent with observations of both radiative forcing and surface temperature, manifesting a similar delay as the one observed in observational datasets between the implementation of the emission changes and the anomalous increase in warming. Our findings highlight the importance of considering realistic near-future changes in short-lived climate forcers for future climate projections, such as for CMIP7, for an improved understanding and communication of short-term climatic changes.

Published: November 2024

Abstract. Denitrification and anaerobic ammonium oxidation (anammox) convert reactive nitrogen to invert N2, and play vital roles in nitrogen removal in coastal and marine ecosystems, weakening the adverse effects caused by terrestrial excessive nitrogen inputs. Given the importance of denitrification and anammox in nitrogen cycle, lots of studies has measured denitrification and anammox through intact core incubations across different systems, and nitrogen loss processes are affected by a series of environmental factors such as organic carbon, nitrate, dissolved oxygen and temperature. However, a global synthesis of actual nitrogen loss rates is lacking and how environmental factors regulate nitrogen loss remains unclear. Therefore, we have compiled a database of nitrogen loss rates, including denitrification and anammox in coastal and marine systems from published literatures. This database includes 473, 466, and 255 measurements for total nitrogen loss denitrification and anammox, respectively. This work deepens our understanding of the spatial and temporal distribution of denitrification, anammox and the relative contribution of anammox to total nitrogen loss and their corresponding environmental controls. To our knowledge, the constructed database for the first time offers a comprehensive overview of actual nitrogen loss rates in coastal and marine ecosystems on a global scale. This database can be utilized to compare nitrogen loss rates of different regions, identify the key factors regulating these rates, and parameterize biogeochemical models in the future. This database is available in Figshare repository: https://doi.org/10.6084/m9.figshare.27745770.v3 (Chang et al., 2024).
Entziehung der persönlichen Freiheit aus medizinischen Gründen
Authors: Riederer Marie-Theresa
Published: November 2024

Die Möglichkeit zur Entziehung der persönlichen Freiheit aus medizinischen Gründen lässt sich in verschiedenen Gesetzestexten finden. Vor allem das daraus resultierende Spannungsverhältnis zwischen der Wahrung der Grundrechte – insbesondere des Rechts auf persönliche Freiheit und Selbstbestimmung – einerseits sowie des Schutzes der betroffenen Personen vor Selbst- und/oder Fremdgefährdung andererseits werden in dem hier vorliegenden Buch näher beleuchtet und einer umfangreichen verfassungs- und verwaltungsrechtlichen Prüfung unterzogen. Ausgangspunkt dieser Betrachtungen bildet das Unterbringungsgesetz (UbG), das auch am ausführlichsten behandelt wird. Neben dem Heimaufenthaltsgesetz (HeimAufG), das 2006 in Kraft trat und sich stark am UbG orientierte, lassen sich auch in anderen gesundheitspolizeilichen Vorschriften – Tuberkulosegesetz (TbG), Epidemiegesetz (EpiG) und Geschlechtskrankheitengesetz (GeschlKrG) – derartige Freiheitsbeschränkungen finden. Diese Gesetze werden mit dem UbG in Vergleich gesetzt, um so Gemeinsamkeiten und Unterschiede herauszufiltern und auf ihre Sinnhaftigkeit hin zu hinterfragen. Im Zusammenhang mit den Ausführungen zum EpiG wird auch auf die vom Nationalrat verabschiedeten COVID-19-Gesetze und Verordnungen vertieft eingegangen.
Erbschaftserwerb
Authors: Ronacher Lukas
Published: November 2024

Die Arbeit setzt sich näher mit dem Erbschaftserwerb nach österreichischem Recht auseinander. Der Erbschaftserwerb im Sinne des Eintritts der Gesamtrechtsnachfolge ist an den Einantwortungsbeschluss (§ 797 ABGB) geknüpft, dessen Erlassung das Verlassenschaftsverfahren (§§ 143ff AußStrG) vorangeht. Obwohl es jährlich zu tausenden Einantwortungen kommt, sind zentrale Fragen – wie die Folgen der Einantwortung eines »Scheinerben« oder die Bindungswirkung der sich aus dem Einantwortungsbeschluss ergebenden Rechtsnachfolge in Folgeprozessen – (immer noch) umstritten. Die Arbeit nimmt sich dieser an, behandelt aber auch Probleme des Erbschaftserwerbes, wenn eine Einantwortung und somit der Eintritt der erbrechtlichen Gesamtrechtsnachfolge unterbleibt (§§ 153ff AußStrG). Obwohl die §§ 153ff AußStrG äußerst praxisrelevant sind, fehlt bislang eine vertiefte Untersuchung dieses Regelungskomplexes. Diese Lücke möchte die Arbeit schließen. Konkret untersucht wird, wie sich eine spätere Einantwortung auf vorhergehende Rechtserwerbe aufgrund einer »Übernahmeermächtigung« gem § 153 Abs 2 1. Fall AußStrGm iVm § 798 S 2 ABGB auswirkt. Näher erörtert wird außerdem, ob bzw inwieweit sich »Verteilungsfehler« bei einer Überlassung an Zahlungs Statt gem §§ 154f AußStrG nachträglich über die §§ 27ff IO oder das Bereicherungsrecht ausgleichen lassen.
Kindeswohl und Elternschaft
Authors: Buchstätter Elmar
Published: November 2024

Die Gleichstellung aller Geschlechter in Hinblick auf die Begründung von familiären Strukturen ist aus grundrechtlicher Sicht zu begrüßen, führt aber mitunter zu komplexen mehrpersonalen Sachverhalten, die das geltende Recht der Eltern-Kind-Zuordnung an die Grenze seiner Regelungsfähigkeit bringen. Kraft verfassungsgesetzlichen Auftrags ist das »Kindeswohl« sowohl in der Gesetzgebung als auch der Rechtsanwendung vorrangig zu berücksichtigen. Angesichts seiner begrifflichen Unbestimmtheit erweist sich dies in der Praxis jedoch häufig als schwierig. Das vorliegende Werk bietet einen konzisen Einblick in die rechtliche Eltern-Kind-Zuordnung in alternativen Familienmodellen. Es zeigt aus der Perspektive des Kindeswohls zahlreiche Problemfelder des geltenden Rechts in allgemein verständlicher Weise auf und bietet kohärente Lösungen an. Von schwerpunktmäßigem Interesse ist die Zuordnung von Kindern, bei denen die rechtliche und die biologische und/oder genetische Elternschaft einer oder beider Elternteile auseinanderfällt sowie rechtliche und ethische Grenzbereiche der aktuellen Fortpflanzungsmedizin. Gerade in diesem Bereich sind heute vermehrt Verfahren mit Auslandsbezug auszumachen, die spezielle Fragen der kollisionsrechtlichen Anknüpfung und der Anerkennung von ausländischen Entscheidungen über Elternschaft mit sich bringen. Ein weiteres Themenfeld eröffnen jene Fälle, in denen keine rechtliche Eltern-Kind-Zuordnung stattfindet, dennoch aber eine familiäre Nahebeziehung besteht, die mit der Ausübung von Elementen faktischer Elternschaft einhergeht. Hier stellt sich die Frage, ob und inwieweit die Mitwirkung eines Dritten an der elterlichen Verantwortung gerechtfertigt ist.
EVALUASI PENCAHAYAAN PERPUSTAKAAN UNIVERSITAS MUHAMMADIYAH LAMONGAN BERBASIS PEMETAAN INTENSITAS CAHAYA SEBAGAI UPAYA MENGURANGI EYE FATIGUE
Authors: Ayu Sugiarti Vanis Aisyatul , Chasanah Uswatun , Aini Latifatun Nur , Badiyah Rohmatul
Published: November 2024

Background: Perpustakaan merupakan aspek penting yang dimiliki perguruan tinggi yang melibatkan pencahayaan dalam penggunaannya. Pemenuhan kebutuhan intensitas yang sesuai standar dapat membantu mengurangi masalah penglihatan salah satunya eye fatigue. Tujuan pada penelitian ini melakukan evaluasi pencahayaan di perpustakaan Universitas Muhammadiyah Lamongan.
Method: Metode pengambilan data pada penelitian ini ialah pengambilan data tunggal dengan menggunakan luxmeter kemudian data intensitas cahaya yang didapatkan dipetakan kedalam bentuk peta kontur. Area yang diukur pada perpustakaan terdiri atas zona 1 dan 2. Results: Pada zona 1 sebanyak 98 data dengan rentang nilai 33,9 lux hingga 8.852 lux sedangkan pada zona 2 diperoleh data sebanyak 78 data dengan rentang nilai intensitas cahaya 109,6 lux hingga 4.716 lux. Berdasarkan hasil analisis data, nilai intensitas cahaya di perpustakaan Universitas Muhammadiyah Lamongan telah memenuhi SNI pencahayaan perpustakaan yakni berada pada rentang 300 lux, karena nilai intensitasnya rata-rata >300 lux baik pada zona 1 maupun 2. Nilai intensitas pada beberapa titik di perpustakaan yang kurang dari 300 lux disebabkan sumber cahaya baik dari lampu maupun sumber cahaya alami sinar matahari yang menembus jendela terhalang oleh rak buku dan tiang gedung, serta dipengaruhi waktu pengambilan data
Conclusion: Sehingga dapat disimpulkan, jika intensitas cahaya pada ruang baca perpustakaan Universitas Muhammadiyah memenuhi standar SNI namun masih membutuhkan nilai intensitas cahaya yang dapat digunakan sebagai pembanding agar data yang diperoleh semakin akurat, data tersebut dapat berupa data hasil pengukuran sensor maupun pengukuran berulang.

Autorità. scettro, agency: dai basileîs di Omero agli hierómenoi di Cheronea
Authors: Pisano Carmine
Published: November 2024

In Omero Agamennone si presenta come un capo autorevole, capace di ottenere obbedienza senza bisogno di costringere o persuadere. Il saggio indaga la natura dell’autorità del basileús alla luce dei dati interni all’epos e delle rappresentazioni culturali dei Greci. In particolare, si mettono in evidenza: il ruolo dello scettro come “dispositivo” che fa del re il delegato di Zeus all’interno di una concezione dell’autorità come “facoltà” conferita da una fonte esterna; l’agency dello scettro, che si manifesta nella capacità di fungere da tramite di relazioni facendo circolare il potere sovrano tra i basileîs nell’assemblea omerica così come tra gli hierómenoi nella città beotica di Cheronea.

Diodorus, Sch. Pi. O. 2.29c, and the End of the Emmenids
Authors: Dimauro Elisabetta
Published: November 2024

In relation to the great quantity of information that Diodorus offers, available is a highly detailed historical narrative regarding the end of the Emmenid Dynasty in Akragas. Having said this, the article highlights the historical value of Sch. Pi. O. II 29c, which offers three pieces of information not present in the rest of the tradition, and is useful for the general reconstruction of the relations between the tyrannical dynasties of Akragas and Syracuse from 478 BC to the fall of Thrasydaios, the last Emmenid. A comparison with other testimonies - which include, in addition to the other Pindaric scholia and Diodorus, also Callimachus and the Suda lexicon - also reveals a duration of the tyranny of Thrasydaios, the last of the Emmenids, which differs from that commonly accepted by critics.

Published: November 2024

This study aims to review the concept of Maqāṣid Sharī'ah in the context of green economy development through urban farming practices. Maqāṣid Sharī'ah, as a framework of Islamic ethics, provides a basis for understanding how Islamic principles can be implemented in an effort to improve economic sustainability through urban agriculture. This research uses literature analysis methods and case studies to explore Maqāṣid Sharī'ah concepts relevant to the development of a green economy. Special focus is given on how urban farming can be an effective instrument to achieve the goals of Maqāṣid Sharī'ah, such as the maintenance of religion, the maintenance of the soul, the maintenance of offspring, the maintenance of reason, and the maintenance of property. The results showed that urban farming practices can contribute positively to the fulfillment of Maqāṣid Sharī'ah's goals.  In reality, urban farming not only creates new economic opportunities, but also maintains environmental sustainability, public health, and the distribution of economic justice. The implications of this research provide a foundation for the development of green economy policies and practices that are more in line with Islamic ethical values in the context of urban agriculture.

Clefting is not an isolated condition but rather part of a broader spectrum of malformations involving both facial structures and tooth developmentObjective: To determine and compare the frequency of dental anomalies among children with unilateral and bilateral cleft palateMaterials and Methods: This cross-sectional descriptive study was conducted at the outpatient department of Bacha Khan Dental College, Mardan, involving 82 participants aged 4 to 20 years. Patient history, clinical examination, and panoramic radiographs were employed to identify common dental anomalies, like lateral incisor agenesis, supernumerary teeth, peg-shaped lateral incisor, lateral incisor microdontia, agenesis of the maxillary second premolar, and enamel hypoplasia. The Chi-square test was used to compare dental anomalies between unilateral and bilateral cleft palate cases, with the significance level set at p < 0.05.Results: The age was 12.12 ± 5.21 years, with a gender distribution of 28 (34.15%) females and 54 (65.85%) males. Unilateral cleft palate (n=56, 68.29%) was more common than bilateral (n=26, 31.71%). The frequency of dental anomalies included 37.80% exhibiting lateral incisor agenesis, 21.95% supernumerary teeth, 17.07% peg-shaped lateral incisor, 17.07% lateral incisor microdontia, 20.73% agenesis of the second premolar, and 9.76% clinical enamel hypoplasia. No statistical significant difference was found for all dental anomalies between unilateral and bilateral cleft palate (p>0.05).Conclusion: Dental anomalies are quite prevalent in both unilateral cleft lip and palate (UCLP) and bilateral cleft lip and palate (BCLP) patients. Importantly, no statistically significant differences were observed between these two groups.Keywords: Bilateral, Cleft lip and palate, Dental anomalies, Unilateral.

Background: Nowadays, AI adoption, in medical education is growing rapidly. Studies have been conducted on various aspects of AI in medical education, however, in the context of its challenges and solutions faced with AI adoption is rarely explored through qualitative approaches. It is necessary to know the barriers and remedies for AI utilization in medical education.Objectives: This study explores potential barriers and solutions to AI adoption in medical education. Materials and Methods: Based on Giorgi's phenomenological approach, this qualitative study explored an in-depth understanding of AI adoption in medical education through in-depth interviews from March to April 2024. By purposive sampling, sixteen participants across famous medical institutions of Pakistan were interviewed, and data collection was stopped upon saturation. Results: A total of 16 participants belonging to different cadres of undergraduate medical colleges of Pakistan were interviewed for the current study. A total of 219 quotations from the transcripts resulted in three main themes with subsequent subthemes (total 13), i.e. perceptions of AI in medical education with three subthemes, barriers to AI adoption with seven subthemes and conjoint solutions to barriers having three subthemes.Conclusion: AI adoption in medical education is evolving healthcare globally. Nevertheless, there are barriers like the complexity of AI, lack of technical skills for using AI, and scarcity of resources that hinder its utilization in medical education. Moreover, ethical concerns and the specific guidelines that attract investors are among other challenges. Countermeasures like improving technical infrastructure and faculty development initiatives through collaboration among policymakers, administrators, and teaching faculty can overcome the barriers.

“Songs of Pain”
Authors: Beissinger Margaret
Published: November 2024

This article explores urban Romani song in southern Romania and how ethnicity and gender inform the repertoire and style of two 20th-century female vocalists: Romica Puceanu and Gabi Luncǎ. Both established their renown during the communist period, initially at in-group weddings in addition to family and other social gatherings and eventually at Romanian venues as well. Numerous songs that they performed were also issued on recordings. Puceanu and Luncă were best-known for their quintessentially Romani song genres and style of singing: muzica lăutărească (“lǎutar music” – the music of Romani musicians), namely, cântece lăutăreşti (“lăutar songs”) or “songs of pain.” Cântece lăutăreşti are often characterized by a slow, heartfelt style and express anguish, suffering, and longing. How did ethnicity and gender inform the artistry of Puceanu and Luncă? Which themes in their song repertoires were they drawn to, and how did the lyrics and style of the songs that they sang reflect their roles as female Romani performers not only surrounded by a majority society that had enslaved Roma for centuries and in which anti-Romani racism was (and still is) widespread, but also within a patriarchal society and male-dominated profession? I examine how Puceanu and Luncă became icons of muzica lăutărească in a world dominated by men. I argue that as vocalists who were both Roma and women, they found nuanced ways to express ethnic and gendered identity through song.

Lack of access to potable water, poor sanitation and hygiene, and ineffective vector control measures catalyse the spread of infectious diseases. This study aimed to assess access to safe water, sanitation and hygiene practices, and housing conditions in a rural community in North-Central Nigeria. Additionally, it sought to examine the interplay between these factors and the incidence of infectious diseases. This was a cross-sectional observational study set in the rural Mangu community. Ethical approval was obtained from the Plateau State Ministry of Health, and informed consent was sought from an adult representative of each sampled household. Data were collected using interviewer-administered questionnaire during walk-through home visits. A total of 772 individuals from 139 households and 100 houses were surveyed. Household sizes ranged from two to 26 individuals, and rooms had between one and seven occupants. One-fifth of the houses (n=19/100) had no access to improved sources of drinking water and relied on unprotected dug wells and streams. Sewage disposal was largely through open defecation (n=73/100) and nearly all houses (n=98) practised open dumping/burning. Febrile illness and diarrhoea were reported in residents of 71% and 40% of the houses, respectively, in the previous six months. Residents who used water from unimproved sources were four times more likely to experience a febrile illness (OR: 3.99; 95% CI: 1.11-15.7).  In Mangu community of North-Central Nigeria, prioritising access to safe drinking water and improving sanitation and hygiene practices would reduce the burden of infectious diseases, especially in children.
Treating reactivated EBV, HHV-6, HHV-7 infections in children with Autism Spectrum disorder associated with genetic folate cycle disruptions: Outcomes after Valacyclovir, Valganciclovir and Artesunate

Published: November 2024

Immune dysfunction causes the reactivation of herpesviruses in children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) associated with the genetic folate cycle deficiency (GFCDs). The aim – to investigate the efficacy of valaciclovir, valganciclovir, and artesunate in reactivated Epstein-Barr virus (EBV), herpes virus type 6 (HHV-6) and herpes virus type 7 (HHV-7) infections in children with ASD. The treatment group consisted of 225 children aged 2 to 9 years who had GFCDs and ASD. The diagnosis of EBV, HHV-6, and HHV-7 reactivations was made by blood leukocyte PCR. Valacyclovir (500-1000 mg twice per day), valganciclovir (225-450mg twice per day), and artesunate (25-50mg twice a day) were prescribed for 3 months. The control group (no antiviral treatment) included 52 children who were comparable in age and diagnosis. Valacyclovir treatment achieved undetectable EBV DNA in 39% of cases. Valganciclovir and artesunate performed complete response rates of 47 and 62%, respectively (р<0.05; Z<Z0.05). HHV-6 DNA was undetectable in 29% of valacyclovir-treated patients. Valganciclovir and artesunate achieved complete response rates of 32 and 57%, respectively (p <0.05; Z<Z0.05). HHV-7 DNA was not detected in 24% of valacyclovir-treated patients, but in 35 and 44%, respectively (p <0.05, Z<Z0.05) in valganciclovir and artesunate groups. There was an association found between negative PCR results and normalized S-100 protein and neuron-specific enolase serum concentrations. Antiviral treatments disrupted the natural course of reactivated EBV, HHV-6, and HHV-7 infections in ASD children, exerting a neuroprotective effect, with artesunate being the most effective option and EBV - the most sensitive to antiviral drugs.

Published: November 2024

This study aimed to evaluate the impact of some commonly used spices on glycemic index (GI) and glycemic load (GL). Cumin (Cuminum cyminum), ginger (Zingiber officinale), and coriander fruits (Coriandrum sativum L.) were the used spices in this study, whereas the widely consumed carbohydrate-rich boiled potato was chosen as the test food. The study included 10 healthy, non-diabetic participants, 6 males and 4 females aged between 20 and 30 years with Body mass index (BMI) below 25 (BMI: mean±SD, 20.98±3.43). On specific meeting days over 5 weeks, the participants consumed the following test meals: glucose (standard food), boiled potato (test food), boiled potato with 0.5g of cumin, boiled potato with 0.5g of coriander, and boiled potato with 0.5g of ginger. Each meal was consumed with 150ml of water after 10-12 h overnight fasting. The glycemic index values were calculated after measuring capillary blood glucose at 0, 30, 60, 90 and 120min. The values of blood glucose responses and the blood glucose incremental area under curve (IAUC) of boiled potato decreased significantly after adding the studied spices (P<0.05). The GI and GL values for boiled potato with each type of the studied spices (GI=88.73, GL=12.32 for boiled potato with cumin, GI=86.53, GL=12.02 for boiled potato with coriander and GI=85.01, GL=11.81 for boiled potato with ginger) were signiﬁcantly lower than boiled potato alone (GI=93.33, GL=12.96) (P<0.05). The GI and GL values of boiled potato with ginger were significantly the lowest (P<0.05). Despite this significant decrease in GI and GL values of boiled potato after adding the studied spices, their values remained high and intermediate, respectively (GI ≥70 and GL=11-19) and therefore unsuitable for diabetics. This study indicated that spices such as ginger, coriander and cumin had signiﬁcant impact on GI and GL.
