Published: October 2024

Egg white is often regarded as a high-quality protein source that contains all essential
amino acids required by humans. A fresh egg in liquid form has a short shelf life, thus
drying it into powder can be the best alternative for a longer short life. This research
aimed to evaluate the physicochemical and functional characteristics of egg white powder
(EWP) as affected by pasteurization as pre-treatment and drying methods. There were six
treatments in the preparation of EWP, i.e., pasteurization, unpasteurization and combined
with three drying methods (spray-, cabinet-, or freeze-drying). The physical and functional
properties of EWP were determined i.e., the yield, color, water activity, bulk density,
flowability, foaming, emulsification, water absorption (WAC), oil absorption capacity
(OAC), and gel strength. The chemical properties i.e. moisture content, fat, ash, protein
content, protein digestibility, and antioxidant activity were also determined. The results
showed that pasteurization and different drying methods affected the physicochemical and
functionality of EWP. Pasteurization treatment significantly increased the bulk density of
EWP prepared by spray- and cabinet drying, WAC of EWP prepared by spray- and
cabinet drying, gel strength of EWP prepared by spray drying, the protein content of EWP
prepared by spray drying, protein digestibility of EWP prepared by spray- and cabinet
drying; however, significantly decreased the aerated and tapped bulk density of EWP
prepared by freeze-drying, gel strength of EWP prepared by cabinet- and freeze-drying,
the protein content of EWP prepared by cabinet- and freeze-drying, protein digestibility of
EWP prepared by freeze-drying, antioxidant activity of EWP prepared by spray-, cabinet-,
and freeze-drying. Different drying methods significantly affected the color parameters,
bulk density, gel strength, moisture content, protein content and protein digestibility. This
study suggested that the best characteristic of EWP was that of unpasteurized and
prepared by freeze-drying method.

Authors:   ,   Lebanese American University -- Chouran Beirut, El Sabeh Nour
Published: October 2024

This thesis investigates the often-overlooked blue molded monochrome ceramics produced during the Seljuq period in Iran, spanning the mid-eleventh to late-twelfth centuries. While previous art historical studies have focused primarily on luster and mina’ wares, this research aims to highlight the significance of these blue monochrome ceramics within the broader context of Islamic material culture. The blue monochrome molded wares are found in thousands in important museums and private collections. In this thesis, I examine one-hundred-sixty-three selected pieces. By examining the diversity in function, materiality, and style of these ceramics, the study reveals the intricate production techniques and material innovations, particularly the use of the new fritware body. Despite the unifying aesthetic of the blue glaze, which can obscure the richness of decorative motifs and shapes, this thesis proposes a set of identifications. It categorizes a wide range of ceramic forms, styles, and functions. These wares are contextualized within the contemporary artistic trends of the period. The decorative styles reference architecture, metalwork, glass, and textiles. Nevertheless, the shapes rely on imported Chinese wares and attempt to reflect the aesthetics of translucent white porcelain. The various qualities permitted widespread access across various social classes, from the upper to lower middle classes. The wares depict highly refined vivid carvings with charming shapes as well as low-quality carving and wobbly asymmetrical shapes. The monochrome molded wares were a solution for the mass production of glazed wares while keeping a high aesthetic standard.
Exploring Elite Labor Migration: The Role of Social Networks, Norms, and Expectations on the Lebanese Youth’s Migration to UAE and Saudi Arabia
Authors:   ,   Lebanese American University -- Chouran Beirut, Abou Zour Teya Fadwa
Published: October 2024

This thesis investigates the complex push and pull factors that influence elite labor migration by focusing on Lebanese elite youth who migrate specifically to the United Arab Emirates (UAE) and the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA) for white-collar job opportunities. The study moves beyond strict economic analysis to explore the various societal factors that intersect and contribute to elite labor migration. It argues that the economic crisis in Lebanon, combined with societal influences, motivated elite individuals to seek opportunities abroad. These societal factors are driven by perceptions and beliefs that elite labor increases the chances of success, career growth, and better salaries. Furthermore, the study delves into the common and prominent pull factors in the UAE and KSA through a comparative analysis to understand why these two countries are attractive destinations for some elites. Moreover, it takes into consideration the impact of white-collar jobs on destination choice. This thesis provides rich insights from migrants’ personal decision-making experiences based on 12 semi-structured interviews. It contributes to the migration literature by better understanding the complexities within labor migration dynamics.

Authors: Özger Koçak Zehra , Güven Hüseyin
Published: October 2024

Su ve kanalizasyon idareleri sadece su temini ve atıksu yönetimiyle değil; aynı zamanda bu amaçla yapılan alt yapı çalışmalarıyla entegre şekilde ele alınmalıdır. Bu çalışmada sıfır atık yaklaşımı ile ilgili ulusal ve uluslararası mevzuat gözden geçirilmiş ve sıfır atık sisteminin bir su ve kanalizasyon idaresinde uygulanması incelenmiştir. Bu çerçevede, İstanbul Su ve Kanalizasyon İdaresi (İSKİ)’nin atık yönetim sistemi incelenmiş, oluşan atık türleri örnekleriyle verilmiştir. Atık yönetimine ilişkin veriler, İSKİ Atık Yönetimi Birimi tarafından tutulan kayıtlardan elde edilmiştir. 2019 - 2023 yılları arasında kurumda oluşan atık miktarları hesaplanmış ve sıfır atık sisteminin kurulumuyla birlikte atık miktarlarında azalma ve yeniden kullanım oranda artış kaydedildiği tespit edilmiştir. Bu bulgudan hareketle sıfır atık sisteminin kurum içinde etkilerinin görülmeye başlandığı söylenebilir. Çalışma kapsamında ele alınan beş yıllık dönem için mevsimlere göre atık miktarları incelenmiş, toplam atık miktarının %17’sinin kış mevsiminde, %33’ünün ise sonbahar mevsiminde oluştuğu hesaplanmıştır. 2020 yılında Covid-19 salgını nedeniyle oluşan atık miktarı 2019 yılına göre yaklaşık %43 azalmıştır. Yapılan çalışmada ayrıca farklı birimlerde oluşan atıkların, atık geçici depolama alanına taşınma maliyeti hesaplanmıştır. Önemli miktarda atığın İstanbul’un Avrupa Yakası’ndan şehrin Anadolu Yakası’na taşınması sebebiyle Avrupa Yakası’nda yeni bir depolama alanı kurulması önerilmiştir. Bu önerinin uygulanması durumunda atık taşıma maliyetinin %68 düşeceği belirlenmiştir. Bu durumun, sıfır atık yönetim sisteminde hedeflenen verimli kaynak kullanımı açısından isabetli bir uygulama olacağı düşünülmektedir.

Authors: Vlasov Vladimir , Nabokov A.
Published: October 2024

The article describes the molded dishes of the burial ground of the 4th-7th centuries. AD Almalyk-dere, located in the South-Western Crimea. A comparative typological analysis of this group of archaeological finds, in general, demonstrates its general cultural unity with molded dishes from other Crimean burial grounds of the late Roman and early medieval times, with the presence of certain differences. Common features are manifested in the technique and technology of production of stucco products, as well as in the composition and structure of the ceramic complex, and differences are in the morphology and ornamentation of vessels. The study of Almalyk molded dishes allows us to say that the emergence of the burial ground is associated with the arrival of a group of new population in southwestern Taurica, consisting of the numerically predominant Alans, as well as Germans and, obviously, some part of the Bosporans and late Scythians.

Authors: I Komang Putra Adnyana  , Ni Made Adi Tarini  , Komang Januartha Putra Pinatih
Published: October 2024

Introduction: Infective endocarditis (IE) is a rare infection of the endocardial surface that can be caused by Streptococcus pneumoniae (pneumococcal endocarditis/PE), with an incidence of between 1.4–12.7 per 100,000 people each year, and a mortality rate of <3%. Infective endocarditis is associated with several complications including stroke and congestive heart failure. Here we report a case of IE in an adult caused by S. pneumoniae. Case Description: A 27-year-old woman complained of swelling in both legs, red spots, and a history of fever since 2 days before admission. Physical and supporting examinations including echocardiography and three-sided blood culture were carried out using VITEK-2. Streptococcus pneumoniae was identified from the culture which sensitive to Benzylpenicillin group including Cefotaxime, Ceftriaxone, Levofloxacin, Erythromycin, Clindamycin, Tetracycline, and Trimethoprim/Sulfamethoxazole. Infective endocarditis due to S. pneumoniae in adult is very rare. The attachment of S. pneumoniae to the heart valve, may be facilitated by its capsule, which is considered essential in bacteremia. Patient received empirical intravenous antibiotics with 3 grams Ampicillin every 6 hours and 150 mg Gentamicin every 24 hours. The patient improved and treatment was continued by intramuscular injections of 1.2 million IU Benzathine Penicillin G were given every 28 days until age 40. Conclusion: Infective endocarditis cases in adult patients are associated with high morbidity. Pneumococcal vaccination and adhering to rational antibiotic administration guidelines provide good prognosis to the patients.

Authors: Oluwaseun Francis Owolabi  , Dupe Stella Ogundipe  , Peter Makinde
Published: October 2024

This study presents the design and optimization of a solar-powered waste-to-energy (WTE) system aimed at reducing agricultural food waste and generating renewable energy for rural agricultural applications. The system integrates solar photovoltaic (PV) panels with an anaerobic digester, biogas generator, and battery storage to convert organic agricultural waste into biogas and electricity. The solar panels demonstrated an energy conversion efficiency of 62-64%, contributing to the overall energy needs of the waste-to-energy process. The anaerobic digester achieved biogas yields of up to 70 m³/ton from corn residues, with a methane content of 65%. The biogas generator converted this biogas into electricity with an efficiency that increased from 70% to 74% as the biogas input increased. The system reduced operational costs by over 87% compared to traditional diesel-powered systems, primarily due to the elimination of fuel costs. Additionally, the system was able to reduce agricultural waste by more than 85% and decrease CO₂ emissions by 60%, demonstrating its significant environmental benefits. Heat recovery from the biogas generator further increased system efficiency, recovering up to 70 kWh of heat for agricultural processes. The system also generated excess solar energy, allowing for potential energy storage or future expansion. This study provides a scalable and cost-effective solution to both waste management and energy generation in rural agriculture, promoting sustainability and reducing reliance on fossil fuels.

Assetti amministrativi, organizzativi e contabili del calcio professionistico
Authors: Pietrantonio Gary Louis
Published: October 2024

Nel corso degli ultimi due decenni il calcio ha vissuto una profonda evoluzione che lo ha trasformato da semplice prodotto di intrattenimento in una complessa e articolata industria globale in grado di produrre ingenti ricavi e costi di esercizio. Di fatto oggi, il quadro normativo predisposto dall’UEFA e della FIGC, richiede alle squadre di calcio professionistiche di operare in pieno equilibrio economico e finanziario. Le nuove cornici giuridiche hanno nel corso degli ultimi anni fatto emergere in capo alle squadre di calcio professionistiche l’esigenza di progettare assetti amministrativi ed organizzativi idonei a rispettare un quadro normativo di riferimento in continua evoluzione. Il volume, dopo aver esaminato i profili giuridici sportivi attinenti alla recente vicenda giudiziaria che ha colpito la società Juventus F.C. S.p.A., le questioni contabili e societarie emerse dalla verifica ispettiva CONSOB nei confronti del club bianconero e le novità apportate dal Codice della Crisi nell’ambito degli assetti organizzativi ed amministrativi, si prefigge l’obiettivo di individuare quali siano le caratteristiche organizzative di cui deve dotarsi una squadra di calcio professionistica al fine di poter rispettare i precetti di carattere economico-finanziario introdotti dal legislatore sportivo nazionale e comunitario. Infine, sono passati al vaglio i profili di responsabilità degli amministratori delle squadre professionistiche di calcio nel caso in cui l’assetto organizzativo, amministrativo e contabile implementato non sia idoneo a soddisfare i requisiti richiesti dal legislatore sportivo e nazionale.
Alla scoperta del “Nuovo Mondo”: le insuline basali settimanali
Authors: Di Bartolo Paolo
Published: October 2024

therapeutic option today, especially in specific clinical conditions, even in type 2 diabetes. Our country is approaching a new era in the history of insulin. We are indeed close to the availability of the first weekly basal insulin formulations. The AMD annals present a unique chance to evaluate the evolution of pharmacological therapies for diabetes in recent years. The AMD annals confirm that in 2023 still more than 32% of the population with type 2 diabetes in Italy was treated with insulin, and more than 97% of subjects were treated with basal insulin. The appropriate prescription of insulin is hindered by numerous obstacles, resulting in therapeutic inertia. Among these, the non-acceptance of daily injection therapy and the difficulty in adherence justify the rationale for developing weekly basal insulin Among the weekly basal insulins in development, icodec and efsitora are the closest to being introduced into our clinical practice. The development of new biotechnological approaches has resulted in the development of insulins with a half-life of 8 and 17 days for icodec and efsitora, respectively. Icodec and efsitora, in the QWINT and ONWARDS phase 3 programs, have been shown to be effective in achieving primary and secondary efficacy endpoints. The two weekly basal insulins have shown that in the context of an oral basal regimen for people with type 2 diabetes, the risk of hypoglycemia is not different from that of daily basal insulins In studies in type 1 diabetes and in people with type 2 diabetes on basal bolus insulin therapy, the risk of hypoglycemia was found to be higher for new weekly basal insulins than for daily basal insulins, bringing up the need for more research and possibly a different prescribing approach for basal weekly insulins in this population. The reduction in the number of injections results in patients being more satisfied with the treatment, this could result in a significant improvement in quality of life and an increase in acceptance and adherence to prescribed treatment, and finally, it responds to the urgent need to counter therapeutic inertia in the care of people with diabetes.

In the fabrication industry, the welding process plays a crucial role in both engineering and repair production processes. Continuous use of welding machines can lead to a decline in their effectiveness. Suboptimal machines may produce low-quality products. A common issue encountered is the poor quality of welds, even when each step has been aligned with the Welding Procedure Specification (WPS). One source of this problem is the welding equipment itself. The objective of this study is to calibrate arc welding equipment to ensure it remains within machine standards. Calibration is performed in accordance with BS EN 50504:2008 and BS 7570:2000. The calibration focuses on measuring constant voltage and wire feed speed (WFS). The measurement results for WFS variation indicate that it does not exceed a 10% error margin. This suggests that the WFS complies with the established standards. Consequently, the Lincoln LN-25X wire feeder speed is ready for use in fabrication and production processes.

A pressure vessel is a container designed to hold fluids under pressure, including liquids and gases with varying pressures and temperatures. The pressure exerted on the vessel's walls and body is a critical factor that must be carefully considered to ensure compliance with applicable international design standards and prioritize worker safety and security. This research focused on a pressure vessel to investigate the impact of temperature on shell thickness to meet ASME standards. The study utilized shell components made from SA-516 Gr 70 and SA-537 materials. Experiments were conducted with each material at temperatures of 250°C, 235°C, and 343°C, revealing that thickness varies based on material and temperature. The research findings demonstrate compliance with ASME standards, as the shell thickness in all trials exceeded the minimum specified in the drawings.
