Published: January 2018

Palatability traits (tenderness, juiciness, flavor, and overall liking) of beef briskets (n = 48) were evaluated for 3 different postmortem aging period comparisons: 7 d vs. 21 d (Set 1), 21 d vs. 35 d (Set 2), and 7 d vs. 35 d (Set 3). Briskets were prepared as Texas-style barbecue by seasoning with salt and pepper and smoking with oak wood over a long period (approx. 11 h) using a commercial oven designed for such purposes until deemed tender (approx. 85°C internal temperature). Within each treatment set, Warner-Bratzler shear (WBS) force measurements did not differ (P > 0.05) between aging days; however, WBS force measurements for point (Mm. pectorales superficiales composed of the M. pectoralis transversus and M. pectoralis descendens) were lower (P < 0.05) compared to the flat portions (M. pectorals profundus) within each aging set. Consumer panelists did not (P > 0.05) detect differences between aging days within each set for overall liking, flavor liking, tenderness liking, and juiciness liking. Conversely, differences were found between brisket point and flat portions; Set 1 differed for flavor liking (flat > point; P = 0.0348) and juiciness liking (point > flat; P = 0.0004), Set 2 differed for overall liking (flat > point; P = 0.0499) and juiciness liking (point > flat; P < 0.0001), and Set 3 differed for overall liking (flat > point; P = 0.0296) and juiciness liking (point > flat; P = 0.0112). Our findings indicate postmortem aging did not improve beef brisket palatability, but we did note differences between point and flat portions. Preparing beef briskets as Texas-style barbecue resulted in products with low WBS values and high consumer palatability ratings, which helps demonstrate why barbecued briskets are so popular.

The objective of this study was to evaluate the impact of marbling level in combination with enhancement on beef palatability when strip loin steaks were cooked to 3 degrees of doneness. Consumer and trained sensory panelists evaluated strip steak palatability traits of 3 USDA quality grades: Prime, Low Choice, and Low Select. Additional strip loins from each grade were enhanced to 108% with a water, salt, and alkaline phosphate solution. Steaks from each treatment were cooked to 3 degrees of doneness (DOD; Rare: 60°C, Medium: 71°C, or Very Well-Done: 82°C). Consumer panelists rated all enhanced treatments similar (P > 0.05) for each palatability trait. Enhanced steaks had greater (P < 0.05) juiciness, tenderness, flavor liking, and overall liking ratings than all non-enhanced treatments, regardless of grade. Consumer juiciness, tenderness, and overall liking scores increased (P < 0.05) as DOD decreased. Trained sensory panelists rated all enhanced treatments similar (P > 0.05) for initial and sustained juiciness, myofibrillar tenderness, and overall tenderness and greater (P < 0.05) than all non-enhanced treatments, other than non-enhanced Prime, for the same traits. Trained sensory panel ratings increased (P < 0.05) as DOD decreased for sustained juiciness, and both myofibrillar and overall tenderness. Moreover, Warner-Bratzler shear force values were similar (P > 0.05) among all enhanced treatments, and lower (P < 0.05) than non-enhanced Low Choice and Low Select treatments. Results from this study indicate marbling level has no impact on the palatability traits of enhanced strip loin steaks. Therefore, enhancement of higher valued, high marbled cuts does not provide additional palatability benefits over low marbled cuts, as enhancement does not provide an additive effect with marbling on beef eating quality.
Zygmunt Bauman, byen og frygten
Authors: Hviid Jacobsen Michael
Published: January 2018

Analyser af storbyen har i adskillige år udgjort et væsentligt element i Zygmunt Baumans sociologiske samtidsdiagnoser af den postmoderne eller flydende moderne verden. For Bauman udgør byen et mikrokosmos, hvori tidstendenser i særlig grad, og som forløbere for det øvrige samfunds og menneskehedens udvikling som helhed, kan skimtes. Det er også i byen, at mange af de særlige problemer og fænomener, der konfronterer og kendetegner vores samtid, forstørres og forstærkes. Storbylivet bliver således for Bauman en sociologisk optik, hvorigennem fænomener så som frygt, usikkerhed, fremmedhed (og fremmedhad), militarisering, privatisering og meningsudtømning i særlig udpræget grad kan aflæses.

Med kritikken som våben
Authors: Bourdieu Pierre
Published: January 2018

Critique as an instrument

This article introduces Bourdieu’s work Distinction (1979) in the form of an interview with the author. Bourdieu attempts to explain the theoretical principles that form the base of his comprehensive empirical work. Distinction was Bour¬dieu’s first real contribution to the debate concerning the symbolic order within the field of the social sciences. He argues that this analysis of socially conditioned life-patterns was meant to be an input to the critique of Kant’s position as well as an input to the critique of the conventional theories of human action. Bourdieu points out that social-philosophical critique reduces theories of social develop¬ment by applying mostly formal and empty concepts. Instead he proposes a mo¬re sociologically and empirically based critique, which is in touch with “reality“. He finds this approach to be far more radical than the social-phi¬losophical perspective, which he calls simple or trivial. According to Bourdieu, a radical critique must take into account all the results from social sciences – only then can it become a critical weapon.

Published: January 2018

Cereals, nuts and spices are foods that are used in the daily human diet.
According to FAO the average consumption of foods of vegetable origin in
people?s diet is increasing. Due to inadequate conditions during storage of
foods of vegetable origin, there is possibility of contamination by mold
that produces mycotoxins. Since the intake of these products in organism has
been increased, there is a risk of exposure to mycotoxins and their harmful
effect on the consumers? health. The aim of this study was to determine the
presence of aflatoxin B1 in products of vegetable origin (cereals, nuts and
spices). Aflatoxin B1 was determined by enzyme-imunochemical method (ELISA),
using commercial kit. 38 samples were tested. In 25 analyzed samples, the
content of aflatoxin B1 was higher than 1 ?g/kg (1 ?g/kg is limit of
detection). Out of the total number of tested samples, in 18 samples the
content of aflatoxin B1 was determined higher than the allowed amount for
this product group by the current regulations (2 ?g/kg for cereals, 2 ?g/kg
for nuts and 5 ?g/kg for spices).
Presence of deoxynivalenol in wheat milling products in Serbia during 2016-2017

Published: January 2018

Deoxynivalenol (DON) is one of several mycotoxins produced by certain
Fusarium species that frequently infect wheat, corn, rice, oats, barley and
other grains in the field or during storage. DON affects animal and human
health causing vomiting, acute temporary nausea, diarrhea, abdominal pain,
headache, dizziness and fever. The objective of this study was to evaluate
the natural occurrence of deoxynivalenol (DON) in white wheat flour, whole
wheat flour and wheat bran. In this study, a total of 75 white wheat flour,
whole wheat flour and wheat bran samples were collected in the period of
2016-2017. All samples were analyzed for DON by enzymelinked immunosorbent
assay. DON was detected in 23 out of 45 white wheat flour samples (51.11%),
at levels ranging from 99 ?g/kg to 440 ?g/kg. Out of 15 whole wheat flour
samples, 14 were contaminated by DON (93.33%), at levels ranging from 98
?g/kg to 479 ?g/kg. The maximum contamination level of DON (2,790 ?g/kg) in
this study was found in wheat bran. Presence of DON was detected in all 15
samples of wheat bran (100%). These results suggest a high percentage of
contaminated samples, especially among wheat bran samples, which raises a
risk for consumers of wheat bran and the need to monitor final products
before consumption.

Published: January 2018

The presence of aflatoxins (AFs), ochratoxin A (OTA), zearalenone (ZEA),
deoxynivalenol (DON), and fumonisins (FUMs) was examined in maize samples
from the Republic of Serbia. The maize samples were collected during the
period 2012-2016, and analyzed every year after harvest using validated
Enzyme Linked Immunosorbent Assay (ELISA) method. The obtained results were
considered regarding the weather conditions parameters recorded during the
investigated maize growing seasons. Significant differences in
weather-related parameters recorded in the five-year period resulted in
different mycotoxin profiles between the investigated years. Obtained
results indicate that the presence of ZEA and DON in maize is characteristic
of years with abundant precipitation, while AFs and OTA mainly occur in
maize during hot and dry years. Furthermore, FUMs were detected with
different contamination frequency in maize samples from every year. Based on
the findings obtained in this study, as well as on noted changes in weather
conditions in the recent years it could be assumed that maize from Serbia
may become susceptible to problems concerning mycotoxins. Therefore, there
is a necessity for monitoring and research related to the mycotoxins
occurrence in maize from Serbia.

Published: January 2018

Internet of vehicles (IoV), or vehicles to everything (V2X), is a relatively new concept for all vehicles connected to the internet. In this paper, we propose a solution to the problems of traffic congestion. Road traffic congestion has continued to be a major problem in many developed countries. This concept shows the place or location traffic congestion occurs at the time of rainfall, the position of the data based on GPS, and the sensors in the vehicle. The sensors in vehicles are used to collect information for the purpose of evaluating traffic congestion through cloud server via protocols such as CoAP and MQTT. At the beginning of the study, the authors introduced the problems and then proposed a solution.

DETERMINING THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN INFRASTRUCTURE AND LEARNER SUCCESS: A COMPARATIVE STUDY OF TWO PRIMARY SCHOOLS IN ZIMBABWE
Authors: Chakacha Rumbi Ethel , Iwu Chux Gervase , Dakora Edward Naa
Published: January 2018

Â This study was designed to examine the extent to which the availability of adequate infrastructure or lack of it affects the future success of learners. This was against the backdrop of the persistent calls by researchers and agencies for the engagement with issues around basic, youth and adult education in Southern Africa so as to find ways of dealing with the regionâ€™s escalating primary school drop-out rates and limited access to both technical and vocational education. The study adopted a purely qualitative approach to uncover the meanings that participants attach to their behaviour, how they interpret situations, and what their perspectives are on particular issues. This study was conducted in two primary schools in Zimbabwe among 52 participants, which included 20 learners and 32 educators. The study indicates that the level of infrastructure available in the schools varies and, in some cases, is inadequate. But moreÂ  importantly, the study found that a well-equipped school is more functional and presents better learning opportunities for learners. The study recommended, among other things, that school planners, funders and policy makers should take note of the positive impact that a functional, clean and attractive school building can make on education. The size of the population is small; therefore generalisation should be done cautiously. This paper adds to the literature on the significance of quality infrastructure in facilitating learner education, especially in a burgeoning economy such as Zimbabwe.
CIVIL SOCIETY, RELIGION AND APPLIED THEATRE IN A KAIROTIC MOMENT - PRELIMINARY REFLECTIONS ON A PROJECT ON POLITICAL VIOLENCE & TORTURE IN ZIMBABWE: 2001 â€“ 2002
Authors: Seda Owen , Chivandikwa Nehemiah
Published: January 2018

This article is a critical reflection on possibilities for social transformation and democratisation that can be possibly realised through collaborations between young people in civil society, African traditional religion and the Christian movement in contemporary contexts. In this context the focus on young people as key agents of change is informed by the frequent observation that young people are often the major perpetrators (and victims) of political violence and yet the least beneficiaries from the political spoils. The article analyses a project in the use of applied theatre to address political violence and torture that was conducted by the University of Zimbabwe's Department of Theatre Arts and Amani Trust some time between October 2001 and March 2002. The article uses that project to investigate and to illustrate some of the opportunities that can be harnessed by religious arms of civil society to strengthen peace in disadvantaged rural communities, such as we find in contemporary Zimbabwe, and which often bear the brunt of social unrest in times of political uncertainty. The study approaches time as a social construct that determines human agency and decision-making in order to adopt the biblical concept of â€˜kairosâ€™ or the â€˜kairoticâ€™ moment. The â€˜kairoticâ€™ moment referred to in this paper is the period between 1999 and 2008 when the Zimbabwean polity faced one of its severest national crises following protracted political contestation. This resulted in unprecedented levels of political intolerance, and state-sanctioned violence and torture in the countryâ€™s post-independence history. This level of political violence was perhaps second only to the infamous Gukurahundi massacres, which took place in the Midlands and Matebeleland provinces during the mid-1980s. We also view the kairotic moment as a critical moment for making a fundamental decision. It is full of both promise and danger, so much so that whether the moment â€˜reapsâ€™ hope or danger depends on how the moment is seized. We ask: Did civil society seize the moment to reap hope? In other words, we analyse whether various arms of Zimbabwean civil society took advantage of the â€˜pregnantâ€™ or kairotic moment to liberate itself. The authors adopt existing discourses on civil society and liberation theology to argue that whenever the time is ripe for meaningful intervention, there in fact exist immense opportunities for different branches of civil society domiciled in both traditional African and modern Christian religions to harness applied theatre in the service of peace and democratisation in the face of political adversity and uncertainty.Â
MEMORY IN LIMBO: THE RECONSTRUCTION OF IDENTITY IN MATING BIRDS (1986) BY LEWIS NKOSI
Authors: Mosito Phomolo
Published: January 2018

Lewis Nkosiâ€™s novel, Mating birds (1986) offers a significant intervention in a history as dispersed and fragmented as South Africaâ€™s, by focusing on those specific and critical episodes of South Africaâ€™s past. This much-colonised country has had an extended history of perennial violence under colonialism and apartheid Some fiction by Black writers on this phenomenon may be seen to be reactive, what Njabulo Ndebele (South African writer) terms â€˜Protest Literatureâ€™-and seeks to show black people as victims (Ndebele 1994). Nkosiâ€™s novels, Mating birds (1986) in particular reverse this order through the narratives of different characters, illustrating that black people were not the passive victims of apartheid but played an active role towards its opposition and eradication. This is achieved through complex portrayal of the first-person narrative technique and interstices of memory and recall. This article explores how identity as a porous and fluid, and fragmented and fractured concept that could be used to describe the individual or communa traits of some characters, and space (prison) are portrayed in Lewis Nkosiâ€™s Mating birds (1986).
GENDER-BASED VIOLENCE AMONGST WOMEN WITH DISABILITIES: A CASE STUDY OF MWENEZI DISTRICT, ZIMBABWE
Authors: Rugoho Tafadzwa , Maphosa France
Published: January 2018

This article is based on a study of gender-based violence against women with disabilities. The study sought to examine the factors that make such women vulnerable, to investigate the communityâ€™s responses to gender-based violence against women with disabilities, and to determine the impact of gender-based violence on the wellbeing and health of women with disabilities. The study adopted a qualitative research design so as to arrive at an in-depth understanding of the phenomenon under study. The study sample consisted of 48 disabled women living in marital or common law unions, selected using purposive sampling. Of the 48 women in the sample, 16 were visually impaired while the remaining 32 had other physical disabilities. Focus group discussions were used for data collection. The data were analysed using the thematic approach. The finding was that women with disabilities also experience gender-based violence. The study makes recommendations whose thrust is to change community perceptions on disability as the only guarantee towards eradicating gender-based violence against women with disabilities.
â€œSisonke - Together We Canâ€: Conceptualisations of Critically Reflective Communities of Practice Nurses Caring for Women Living with HIV
Authors: Naidoo Joanne Rachel , Mtshali Ntombifikile
Published: January 2018

The dynamic nature of HIV care in the context of South Africa challenges nurses to continually keep abreast of changes in treatment and care policies.Â  Communities of practice (CoPs) are considered an effective method of promoting lifelong learning, enhancing professional development and clinical reasoning through reflective practice. This paper reports on the conceptualisations and meanings that emerged from a critically reflective CoP established among nurses caring for women living with HIV. Based on social constructivismand underpinned on grounded theory, four themes emerged which conceptualised the meaning of a critically reflective CoP, namely: (i) a practice and learning community, (ii) a support network, (iii) collaborative, purposive-driven working to make a difference and (iv) a space that fosters self-determination. The findings of this paper enhance the understanding of organisational learning strategies that can support nurses working in various settings through ongoing learning embedded in evidence-based practice through critical reflection and CoPs.
Facilitators for and Barriers to the Implementation of National Tuberculosis Management Guidelines
Authors: Dlwati Lucretia V , Mavundla Thandisizwe R , Mbengo Fungai
Published: January 2018

The South African government developed the National Tuberculosis Management Guidelines (NTBMGs) to provide guidance to professional healthcare workers on the management of people with TB and also those co-infected with HIV. However, little is known about primary healthcare (PHC) nursesâ€™ perceptions of the implementation of the NTBMGs, despite their critical role in TB management. The purpose of this study was to explore PHC nursesâ€™ perception of the implementation of the NTBMGs in order to identify factors influencing the implementation of the NTBMGs and to make recommendations to improve the implementation of the NTBMGs. The study was conducted in the Eastern Cape, South Africa. The Normalization Process Model (NPM) was used as a theoretical framework to understand the factors influencing the implementation of the NTBMGs. A qualitative, explorative, descriptive and contextual research design was utilised. Data were collected using individual semi-structured interviews on a purposive sample of 10Â PHC nurses working in rural clinics. Data were analysed following a descriptive method of Tesch. The study revealed several facilitators for and barriers to the implementation of the NTBMGs based on the NPM. The facilitators included the PHC nursesâ€™ satisfaction with the Directly Observed Treatment, Short Course (DOTS) strategy in rendering health services to TB patients, the PHC nursesâ€™ perception of TB meetings as an appropriate platform for problem-solving, of the NTBMGs to be consistent with TB management, and of job satisfaction in relation to patient improvement. The barriers included poverty, inadequate training, shortage of staff, and a lack of material resources, a proper infection control policy, and space. There is a need for the provision of adequate human, material and infrastructural resources in order to eliminate the barriers to the implementation of the NTBMGs.

Decidability of Fair Termination of Gossip Protocols
Authors: Apt Krzysztof , Wojtczak Dominik
Published: January 2018

Gossip protocols deal with a group of communicating agents, each holding some private information, and aim at arriving at a situation in which all the agents know each other secrets. Distributed epistemic gossip protocols are particularly simple distributed programs that use as guards formulas from an epistemic logic. We showed recently that the implementability of these distributed gossip protocols and the problems of their partial correctness and termination are decidable, but the problem of decidability of their fair termination was left open. We study here rule-fair and agent-fair termination of these protocols and show that both properties are decidable.
Capability Discovery for Automated Reasoning Systems
Authors: Steen Alexander , Wisniewski Max , Schurr Hans-Jörg , Benzmüller Christoph
Published: January 2018

Automated reasoning systems such as theorem provers often employ interaction or cooperation with further reasoning software. Whereas in most cases the concrete choice of cooperating software is, to some extent, irrelevant, these systems are nevertheless often rigid in practice due to compatibility issues. In order to support more flexible cooperation schemes, a machine-readable description format for automated reasoning systems' capabilities is proposed. Additionally, a simple HTTP-based protocol for system and capability discovery is outlined. Both the format and the protocol are designed to be simple, extensible and easy to use with none to minor modifications for existing reasoning systems.

APLIKASI GRAF POHON PADA ALGORITMA HUFFMAN
Authors: Amrullah Amrullah
Published: January 2018

Abstrak : Sistem bilangan biner banyak digunakan dalam teknologi komputer. Bilangan biner digunakan oleh algoritma Huffman pada graf pohon. Algoritma Huffman menggunakan prinsip pengkodean yang mirip dengankode Morse, yaitu tiap karakter dikodekan hanya dengan rangkaian beberapa bit 0 dan 1 sesuai distribusi kemunculan karakter dalam naskah. Sedang graf pohon adalah graf tak-berarah terhubung yang tidak memuat sirkuit sederhana.Setiap karakter dalam komputer memiliki panjang 8 bit. Dalam algoritma huffman, dengan penggunaan graf pohon dari distribusi frekuensi karakter dalam suatu pesan, ukuran panjang bit setiap karakter dapat memiliki ukuran lebih kecil dari 8 bit sehingga dapat menghemat ukuran data. Pada akhirnya dapat disimpulkan bahwa algoritma Huffman dapat digunakan untuk menghemat ukuran data dalam sistem komputer.Kata Kunci : Huffman, graf pohon, algoritma, binerAbstract : Binary number system is more used in computer technology. Binary number used by the Huffman algorithm on the tree in graph teory. Huffman algorithm using the principle similar to Morse code, ie each character isencoded only by a series of multiple bits 0 and 1 corresponds to the distribution of the appearance of characters in the script. but tree is non connected graph that contains no simple circuit. Each character in the computer has a length of 8 bits. In the huffman algorithm, with the use of a tree graph of the frequency distribution of characters in data, the size of the bit length of each character can have a size smaller than 8 bits so that it can save data size. In the finally it can be concluded that the Huffman algorithm can be used to save data size in the computer system.Keywords : Huffman, tree, Algorithm, biner
