Food Labelling : An Important Aspect of Marketing
Authors: Patel Yashwant Kumar , Tiwari Soumitra , Vithalkar Aastha
Published: November 2022

Food labels are the first educational resource that customers come across while shopping, and they provide information about the product's ingredients, nutritional value, and allergen status. However, food labelling also functions as a marketing tool and may affect how customers perceive the quality of the food, which may in turn affect their dietary preferences. Because of this, research on food labelling is expanding, as is analysis of how it affects consumers, food producers, and the market. This is corroborated, for instance, by a wide range of publications that have been recently published with the aim of better examining how certain information on food packaging may affect food purchases, consumption, and, generally, dietary behaviour. A packaged product's prologue is its food label. The Nutrition Facts Panel (NFP), a crucial part, precisely provides the macro- and micronutrient amounts per 100g or one serving. It was discovered that although consumers read them, they do not change their buying habits as a result. Thus, the goal of this study is to discover the characteristics that prevent consumers from using food labels. Articles on the Indian population that were completed between 2013 and 2021 and published on PubMed, Research Gate, Google Scholar, and other independent Indian and international journals were evaluated. Reading and food purchases were influenced by a number of variables, including education, gender, income, and place of living. Knowledge of the purchasers was another important element that was discovered to be impeding the use of food labels.

The date palm (Phoenix dactylifera L.) grows in the world's arid and semi-arid regions, particularly in the majority of Middle Eastern countries. It has played an important role in the survival of many ancient civilizations. It is regarded as a valuable nutrient, but it also plays an important role in the economies of date-producing countries. Date palm seeds are commonly described as waste after consuming their pulp by industries or individuals. However, date pits contain a valuable source of edible oil characterized by a high content of unsaturated fatty acids, sterols, tocopherols, and tocotrienols. The main purpose of this study was to analyze the chemical composition and quality parameters of Date Seed Oil (DSO) extracted from ten native date palm seed (Phoenix Dactilifera L.) varieties and compare them to the literature results. The choice of the seed variety was based on popularity and quality. The lipid extraction was carried out by a soxhlet apparatus using a standard solvent with a seed isolated from a matured date. The yield ranged from 2.94% to 8.06% depending on the variety. Gas chromatography coupled to mass spectroscopy (GC/MS) and high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) were used to determine the composition of the fatty acids, sterols, and tocols (tocopherols and tocotrienols) in the extracted oil. Our results indicate that DSO is rich in poly and unsaturated fatty acids (PUFA+MUFA = 48.89% to 60.77%) with oleic acid (C18:1) as the predominant fatty acid (from 52.60% to 42.13%). On other hand, eight sterols were identified and the mean content ranged from 346.97 to 816.60 mg/100g of oil. Also, a high amount has been recorded in tocols ranging from 1937.14 µg/g to 3844.06 µg/g. Indeed, the predominant tocols in DSO were alpha-tocotrienols and alpha-tocopherols. Likewise, the quality parameters indicate that DSO has excellent thermal and oxidative stability and is generally safe to consume. In fact, the peroxide value (PV) recorded a mean of 3.96 to 6.33 meq O2/kg. The iodine value of DSO samples goes from 48.84 to 60.59 g I2/100 g oil. The saponification value (SV) changed between 214.85 and 225.59 mg KOH/g of oil. However, the coefficients of extinction K232 and K270 were lower than the specified limitations. According to the findings, date seed has the potential to be used as a renewable resource while also adding value to pharmaceutical, cosmetic, food, and agricultural products.
Work-Family Conflict and Safety Behaviour among Dual-Earner Couples; Does Family Supportive Supervisor Behavior Matter?
Authors: Twumasi Evelyn
Published: November 2022

The study considered the moderating role of family supportive supervisor behaviour in the relationship between work-family conflict as a source of stress and employees’ safety behaviour. A survey research design was employed and data collection was done using questionnaires. A sample of two hundred and twenty-six (226) was purposefully drawn from 330 dual-earner couple nurses. The data retrieved from the respondents were analyzed with the aid of IBM SPSS (V23.0), Smart Partial Least Square 3.0, and Haye’s PROCESS Macro. The results indicated that work-family conflict is negatively related to employees’ safety behaviour (i.e., safety participation and safety compliance). Further, family-work conflict was negatively and significantly related to safety behaviour (safety participation and safety compliance). Additionally, family-supportive supervisor behaviour significantly buffered the link between work-family conflicts and safety behaviour (safety participation and safety compliance). Finally, the findings of the study revealed that family-supportive supervisor behaviour moderated the relationship between family-work conflict and safety behaviour (safety participation and safety compliance).”Hospital managers and administrators must take steps to reduce the extent of work-family conflict to circumvent its impact on employees’ safety behaviours at work. Moreover, social support from supervisors and family-friendly policies might play a crucial role in reducing the negative effects of work-family conflict on employees’ adhere to safety rules and conduct themselves safely at the workplace. This study has made contributions to the growing stream of work-family interface literature by investigating its influence on safety behaviour and exploring the moderating role of family supportive supervisor behaviour simultaneously.”

The paper deals with abiotic environmental factors affecting the decorative effect created by plants belonging to various biomorphs in the conditions of the continental climate. The authors have identified some problems of Siberian landscaping. They are 1) insufficient knowledge by landscape architects of the ecological and biological features of trees and shrubs and their belonging to certain zones of frost resistance; 2) the use of ornamental plants with a short period of ontogenesis in landscape compositions; 3) insufficient involvement of late summer and autumn flowering perennial plants in landscaping. It is shown that the degree of winter damage of the aboveground shoot system of trees and shrubs is influenced not only by the absolute values of minimum temperatures, but also by the duration of their exposure. Methods of rejuvenation of ornamental plants from the family Ranunculaceae used in landscape architecture are proposed. As a result of long-term studies of the Chrysanthemum L. generic complex, including species, forms and varieties, conducted in the CSBG, a garden group of Korean chrysanthemums has been identified. Its representatives, characterized by average flowering periods and blooming at a day longitude of 1314 hours, can significantly fill the period including September and even the first half of October with their ornamental effect. The characteristics of resistance and ornamental qualities of some species and varieties of plants included in the biological resource collection USU 44053 are given.
State policy of the Russian Empire on the Christianization of Muslims in the Middle Volga region in the 16th-19th centuries
Authors: Bogdan Aleksey Vladimirovich
Published: November 2022

Based on scientific publications, historical sources and legislative acts of the Russian Empire, the article examines formation and development of the state policy towards Muslims in the Middle Volga region. The baptism of the local Muslim population since the 16th century was considered by the authorities as an effective method of incorporation of Tatars into Russian society. The policy of Christianization of the Tatar population on the part of the state was based on a system of all kinds of benefits and incentives on the one hand, and the containment of Islam and its influence on the other one. The principle of the symphony of spiritual and secular power allowed relatively successful Christianization of the Muslim population. However, this process was uneven and heterogeneous. The state policy towards the Muslims of the Volga region was also quite changeable during the reign of different sovereigns. The process of secularization of society greatly contributed to changes in the policy of Christianization of the Tatar population. The policy of religious tolerance pursued since the time of Catherine II eventually led to the abolition of benefits and equalization of newly-baptized Tatars with the Islamic population in religious and socio-economic rights. The paper reveals basic principles of the policy of Christianization of the Muslim population in the Volga region, the most important periods and aspects are highlighted in the process of Christianization. Thanks to the selected sources, it is possible to build a general picture of the Christianization of Muslims in the Middle Volga region in the 16th19th centuries.
Egor Frantsevich Kankrin’s participation in the territorial and sectoral management reform of the Ural region in 1820s
Authors: Sysoeva Elizaveta Olegovna
Published: November 2022

The paper studies the role of the Minister of Finance of the Russian Empire E.F. Kankrin in the reforming of the Ural regions territorial and sectoral administration in the 20s of the 19th century, as well as his influence on the implementation of the governor-general project by Alexander I of the potential district, which was supposed to appear after merging the Perm, Vyatka and Orenburg provinces together. Particular attention is paid to specification of official powers of the governor general, which was to manage this district. Considering two ways of carrying out this reform discussed in the government circles (Project by Senator V.Yu. Soymonov and Project by E.F. Kankrin), the author comes to the conclusion that the project, created by the Minister of Finance in 1824 and the introduction of the position of the chief head of the mining plants of the Ural Range, influenced the content of the project of a special mountainous general government of Senator V.Yu. Soymonov, however, had one fundamental difference, which greater extent contributed to overcoming the problem of departmental disunity at the regional level. It is for this reason that it was applied at the beginning of the reign of Nicholas I.

Authors: Potmenskaya Elena Vyacheslavovna , Mychko Elena Iosifovna , Serykh Anna Borisovna , Mazanova Svetlana Evgenievna
Published: November 2022

This study is an attempt to analyse the university technosphere capabilities to develop the teachers information culture. The university technosphere is considered to be the most important condition to develop the university teachers information culture. Having analyzed the essence and structure of the teachers information culture, the following hypothesis is put forward: the effectiveness of the university technosphere development has an impact in the development of the teachers information culture; the effectiveness of the university technosphere development is also reflected in the teachers readiness to apply the information technologies in practice in the educational process. This hypothesis indicates the purpose of the study: to substantiate the model of the teachers information culture development in the conditions of the university technosphere creation and functioning. Having substantiated this model theoretically, the authors have built upon the ideas of information and communication, competency-based and cyber-ontological approaches, which are especially relevant in the context of modern cyber socialization. A pedagogical experiment involving 32 teachers from the Immanuel Kant Baltic Federal University (Kaliningrad, Russia) has been organized to test the hypothesis. The experiment has been carried out in three stages: at the first ascertaining stage the teachers attitude to the development of their information culture has been diagnosed. The adoption of the teachers information culture development model, which has no analogues in modern pedagogy of higher education (implemented on the basis of the self-developed special course, which is held as a series of training seminars) has been carried out at the second formative stage. The re-diagnostics of the developed components of the teachers information culture has been carried out at the third control stage. The dynamics has been observed in all information culture components. The most significant changes have occurred in the indicators of the information culture operational component development (from 5,8 units to 9,1 units), which has indicated the effectiveness of the developed model. Hence, it can be used in the organization of work how to develop the university teachers information culture. The novelty of the study is related to the introduction of the developed model into the university educational space, which develops the teachers psychological readiness to master the information products and professional competence in the implementation of the innovative information technologies.

Livonian Werewolves: Assessing Their Historical Significance Through the Case of Old Thiess
Authors: Jiaxin Liu
Published: November 2022

This paper seeks to investigate the phenomenon of Livonian werewolves from the early modern era (1500-1700s). Noting their uniqueness in comparison to contemporaneous werewolves hailing from other geographic areas, the paper suggests that the Livonian werewolf is a metaphor for Livonian society at that time, one which was characterized by social turmoil and strict class hierarchy. This metaphor was utilized by different classes to establish their own interests in society, and thus the paper concludes that the werewolf is a mutable artifact whose value is contingent on its social context. This is demonstrated with the particular case of Old Thiess—a poor, elderly Livonian peasant who gave an unorthodox and anomalous testimony when accused of being a werewolf. In his court statement, it is shown how Thiess was in fact alluding to social tensions by lambasting the rich German elite and establishing the righteousness of the peasantry, of which he was a member of. A close reading method was utilized on the trial transcript of Old Thiess, translated from Hermann von Bruningk’s Der Werwolf in Livland. Through a contextual reading of Livonia’s social atmosphere, the paper draws connections between the content of the trial to wider societal disturbances happening at the time.
Effect of Tool Geometry in Stir Zone for Hook Formation of Dissimilar Aluminium Alloys: A Parametric Investigation on Metallurgical and Mechanical Characteristics
Authors: Navaneethakannan Nandakumar , Sivanandi Periyasamy , Somasekaran Balakrishnan
Published: November 2022

A recently developed solid-state joining technique called “friction stir spot welding” (FSSW) is used to combine metal alloys with low weldability. Significant experimental work for this study is concentrated on the FSSW of AA6063 and AA5083. The study involved fixture setup and welding pattern parameters for the sizes of the material, all of which were done on a milling machine. A cylindrical shoulder with a concave (10°) square pin profile was taken into consideration using various process parameters. The tool material is heat-treated high-carbon steel. The Taguchi L9 orthogonal array is employed for the experimental model. The influence of FSSW factors including spindle speed, time, and depth was studied, along with the relationship between tensile strength, hardness at the contact region, and hook development, which would be a nominal metallurgical pledge established in the welding zone among the interacting sheet plate. The hook structure was found in the area of contact, and thermomechanical effects were seen in the spot-welding area. It has been determined that the influencing variables are spindle speed and plunge depth. As a consequence, it was determined that a tool spindle speed of 1200 rpm, a time of 25 seconds, and a plunge depth of 0.10 mm offer better mechanical properties. The microstructural analysis of welded region was carried out using a scanning electron microscope (SEM).
