The Importance of Moral Behaviours in the Anthropocene Epoch
Authors: Marinescu Ioan Mihnea
Published: March 2019

This article wishes to present a theoretical perspective which seeks to addresses the importance of moral behaviours in the current proposed epoch, characterised by the significant impact of human activity upon Earth’s geology and ecosystems, called the Anthropocene. The present paper proposes that, in the current global context, time has come for humanity to implement new adaptive answers to the problems of mutualism, and therefore, argues in favour of the idea that wishing to discover and to behave in accordance with objective moral truths represent, on one hand, a first step in the process of ensuring a collective and benevolent development for mankind, and on the other hand, a major aspect which fulfils both self-actualization needs and self-transcendence needs. In line with this view, this article hopes to inspire future researcher investigations that would aim to find out new and more practical ways of increasing the frequency of moral behaviours.
Discrimination in Not Guilty by Reason of Insanity Defense Among African American and white Defendants
Authors: Souter Stephanie
Published: March 2019

Racial discrimination in the legal system and mental health care system has been well documented by previous research. Issues of race, law, and mental health meet at a cross-section when it comes to cases involving minority defendants and the insanity plea. Under the constitution of the United States it is the duty of a venrisperson is to reach a fair and unbiased verdict. However, the reality is that there are many ways that a juror can become biased by their personal attitudes. Racial prejudice can effect a jurors ability to make an impartial decision. Attitudes about those who have mental illness can effect the way in which a juror assigns responsibility to a defendant. And a persons attitude toward the insanity plea could influence their decision making. Of the very few defendants successful at using the insanity plea, they tend to be white older men with severe mental illness (Cirincione, 1995). This study aims to implicate the role that racial prejudice and attitudes have on jurors in Not Guilty by Reason of Insanity (NGRI) pleas between Affrican American and white defendants with diagnosed with Schizophrenia.

Authors: Mahto Prakash Kumar , Bhupal Gautam B.P.T.
Published: March 2019

Background: Work-related musculoskeletal disorders are present in a range of occupations. This is confirmed from a number of studies done around the world. However, few attempts have been done to document the presence of musculoskeletal disorders in occupational diseases in Nepal and there are hardly any studies done to see musculoskeletal disorders in farmers of Nepal. Nepal is an agricultural country and traditional practices in farming are adopted demanding a lot on the manual work.

Objectives:  Aim of this study is to find out the prevalence of musculoskeletal disorders in Bhaktapur district of Nepal.

Methods: This is a descriptive cross-sectional study design. A convenience sample of 246 farmers from Bhaktapur district, Nepal aged between 24-65 years, were included in the study. The Nordic musculoskeletal questionnaire was a tool adapted to measure MSDs in the farmers. Descriptive analysis of data was done.

Results: Farmers (n=246) reported pain in all the nine areas of the body mentioned in the questionnaire. More than 70% of farmers have some kind of musculoskeletal disorders. However, six major areas of pain were identified as: Neck-31(12.6 %), Shoulder-26(10.6%), Elbow- 30(12.2%), Low back- 89(36.2%), Knee- 53(21.5%) and ankle 32(13%).

Conclusion: The prevalence of musculoskeletal disorders in farmers is very high. Lack of awareness about the MSDs and improper knowledge of ergonomics causes the problems.

Published: March 2019

Introduction: Measurement of different dimensions of maxillary sinus and anterior wallthickness of maxillary sinus by Computed Tomography in normal Nepalese populationMethods: Dimensions of 90 patients were measured in CT PNS using Syngovia Software. AP diameter, width and anterior wall thickness were measured in axial images and height was measured in coronal images.Results: The mean volume of maxillary sinuses in study of male population on left and right side were 17.09 cm3±3.89, 17.19 cm3 ±4 respectively whereas in female were 15.64 cm3±3.5 and 15.21cm3±3.2 respectively as shown in Table 1. This shows the volume of male was significantly larger than female with P- Value = 0.012 (<0.05). Similarly, the thickness of Anterior Wall (AW) of maxillary sinus was also measured in this study and the mean value of left and right side in male were 0.16cm± 0.04 and 0.15cm± 0.03 respectively and in female were 0.12cm± 0.04 and 0.14cm± 0.02 respectively.Conclusion: This study showed that CT is a reliable method for the measurement of different dimensions of the maxillary sinus. The result showed greater mean value of volume in male than female with significant differences. So this study concluded that the measurement of volume of maxillary sinus can help in the identification of gender which can be very useful for forensic sciences.
Biloma: An Unusual Complication in a Patient With Calculus Cholecystitis
Authors: Sharma Prakash , Neupane Phanindra , Poudel Ramesh
Published: March 2019

A biloma is an encapsulated collection of bile located in the abdomen. It usually occurs spontaneously or can be secondary to traumatic injury (hepatobiliary surgery) and in rare condition it can occur as complication of cholecystitis and cholangiocarcinoma. The diagnosis can be suggested on the basis of patient’s medical history, clinical symptoms and imaging findings but final definitive diagnosis can only be made by aspiration of the content and biochemical analysis. We here report a case of 62 years male patient admitted with acute abdominal pain in the right hypochondrium caused by a spontaneous biloma. We discuss the role of the various diagnostic imaging techniques, particularly which of ultrasound and CT. The biloma was identified on computed tomography in this case.
Mesenteric Hydatid Cyst
Authors: Singh Bikash Kumar
Published: March 2019

The aim of this article is to make radiologists and clinicians familial with the spectrum of cystic lesions in the abdomen. Mesenteric and omental cystic lesions are uncommon. One should be familiar with them as well as with other conditions that manifest as cysts. Initial step in diagnosing a cystic abdominal mass is to localize the organ of origin. Differential diagnosis includes enteric duplication cyst, enteric cyst, mesothelial cyst, non pancreatic pseudocyst, cystic mesothelioma, cystic teratoma, and urachal cyst. There is significant overlap in imaging features of abdominal cysts, which often require histological correlation to establish a final diagnosis. The main role of imaging is to document the nature of the abdominal mass and its origin.

Published: March 2019

Cobalt-based nanoparticles are promising candidates towards countless biomedical applications due to their unique characteristics. Co3O4 nanoparticles were synthesized by applying the sol-gel technique and finally sintered at various temperatures (700, 800, 900 °C). The crystal size, morphology, purity, and optical properties were determined using a variety of advanced characterization techniques. To investigate photodynamic therapy feasibility by using Co3O4 nanoparticles in the liver cells, in-vitro cancerous liver cells (HepG2 cells) were exposed to light of wavelength 655 nm (red light) for 30 min at 50 mW cm−2 and in dark as well. After assessment of cell viability analysis, it is concluded that light-induced photodynamic therapy shows significant phototoxic effects based on temperature dependency.

Published: March 2019

Additive manufacturing refers to a wide class of manufacturing processes based on the progressive building of functional parts through the addition of material layer upon layer. These technologies were first confined to prototyping, but the subsequent development of additive manufacturing processes for further materials, such as metals, has encouraged their worldwide industrial spread, from the biomedical field to the automotive and the aerospace industries. Additively manufactured parts are required to meet high and stable performance, at least comparable to that of conventional wrought materials, so as to comply with strict and well-defined international standards. This paper presents an investigation into the mechanical properties of AlSi10Mg parts produced by laser powder bed fusion technique, using different spatial orientations within the build volume. The effects of the part position and orientation on the static (tensile) properties of the produced parts were assessed by means of the two-way analysis of variance technique. The build angle was found to be the most effective parameter, while the variability ascribable to the effect of part position resulted mainly as physiological. The fatigue resistance showed a globally decreasing trend with increasing build angle.

BİR MEDYALARARASILIK KATEGORİSİ OLARAK MEDYA DEĞİŞİMİ: GÖLGESİZLER ROMANINDAKİ ÜST KURMACA DÜZLEMİNİN FİLME AKTARIMI
Authors: SAKALLI Cemal , AKEMOĞLU Asuman
Published: March 2019

Son yıllarda sanat, bilim ve teknolojinin etkileşimine dayanan işlerin üretilmesi; yeni medyanın sanatın ortamı veya malzemesi olarak kullanılması; geleneksel olarak sınıflandırılmış sanat disiplinleri ile tüm bunlar arasındaki karşılıklı ilişkiler günümüz sanatının medyalararası biçimlenişinin göstergelerindendir. Bu durum medyalararasılık kavramının doğmasına ve medyalararası çalışmaların artmasına da zemin hazırlamıştır. Bu çalışmada “medyalararasılık” ve onun alt kategorisi olan “medya değişimi” kavramları tartışılmış, Hasan Ali Toptaş’ın Gölgesizler romanıyla sinemaya uyarlanan Gölgesizler (Ümit Ünal, 2009) filmi bu bağlamda ele alınmıştır.Toptaş’ın Gölgesizler romanı zihinsel-imgesel bir kurgunun ürünüdür. Romanın zihinsel- imgesel kurguyla oluşturulan bir anlatı olduğu, romanda üst kurmaca tekniğiyle belirginleştirilmiştir. Bu çalışmada Gölgesizler’in üst kurmaca düzleminin sinemada görüntüye dönüştürülmesi, sinemanın ifade araçlarıyla anlatılması “medya değişimi” çerçevesinde incelenmiştir.İncelemede romanın üst kurmaca düzleminin öncelikle yazarın filme dâhil edilmesi, genel olarak ise montaj, aksesuar kullanımı, ses köprüleri, yakın plan, açı-karşı açı çekimleri gibi sinemaya özgü anlatım olanakları doğrultusunda filme aktarıldığı, bu durumun ise medya değişimi kavramına denk geldiği görülmüştür.
Culture Through Color Perception in "West Side Story"
Authors: Secades Marissa Christina
Published: March 2019

My project is part of my larger, ongoing research interest on the representation of social identities in American cinema. My poster/paper will focus on the use of color theory to clearly characterize members of rival ethnic gangs in the 1961 film adaptation of West Side Story. Originally a 1957 Broadway musical loosely based on William Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet, West Side Story captured audiences with its groundbreaking innovation in choreography and music, while earning praise from critics for delving into contemporary issues like immigration and gang-related violence. It won an astonishing ten Academy Awards, including the Academy Awards for Best Costume Design and Best Art Direction, and still holds the record for the most Academy Awards won by a movie musical.While much of the existing research on West Side Story focuses on references of vying cultures made explicitly through song and dance, my research instead focuses on the non-verbal representations of these cultures that are expressed through color in the film. By studying the film’s iconic art direction and investigating audiences’ subsequent perceptions of characters and settings, I argue that the colors featured in the costume designs and set designs are used to denote a culturally-charged power structure within the Jets and the Sharks. Based on close examination of these various designs, the film’s overall color palette, and published scholarship, I conclude that West Side Story's non-verbal references are uniquely dangerous to its explicit references, as they subliminally promote harmful stereotypes and suggest that gang violence brings life to an otherwise drab city. Studying the connection between color theory and culture ultimately illuminates the historical roots of society's perceptions of colors and their seemingly inherent associations to certain traits.
Control of the Upper Limbs for Rehabilitative Arm-Cycling via Functional Electrical Stimulation
Authors: Cohen Max Harrison
Published: March 2019

Functional electrical stimulation (FES) is the application of electrical current across muscle fibers to elicit muscle contractions with the goal of achieving some function outcome (e.g. walking, cycling). FES-cycling has become a very popular rehabilitative strategy over the years as it has proven to yield numerous health benefits for individuals suffering from neurological conditions. In this paper the idea of FES-cycling is extended to the upper limbs and a new arm-cycling testbed is introduced. A dynamic model for the arm-cycle-rider system is presented and a robust sliding-mode controller is developed for the nonlinear, autonomous, state-dependent, switched system. The controller is designed with the goal of tracking a specified crank velocity by switching between muscle stimulation and an electric motor. Despite the uncertainties and nonlinearities associated with the system, global exponential tracking of the desired crank trajectory is proven with a Lyapunov-based stability analysis. Preliminary experiments are performed with an able-bodied subject to characterize the performance of the designed controller. The results of the experiment are presented to illustrate stable tracking of the designed control system.
Association between Asthma Medication Adherence and Patient-Provider Collaboration
Authors: Lockwood Lauren
Published: March 2019

Asthma is a significant pediatric public health concern, with 8.3% of children in the U.S. diagnosed with asthma. Pediatric asthma morbidity is consistently linked to medication non-adherence. Medication adherence has been shown to be influenced by patient-provider interactions. The aim of this study is to examine the relationship between medication adherence, using both objective and subjective reports, to patient-provider collaboration in adolescents with poorly controlled asthma. Thirty adolescents ages 12 to 15 were interviewed along with their caregivers using the Family Asthma Management System Scale (FAMSS). Adherence data were collected via pharmacy refill reports and scores on the FAMSS adherence rating subscale. Patient-provider collaboration was assessed using the corresponding subscale from the FAMSS interview. Pearson correlations were conducted to examine the relationships between both measures of adherence and patient-provider collaboration. There was no significant association between adherence measured with pharmacy refills and patient-provider collaboration (r = .27, p = .176). A significant correlation was found between medication adherence, as measured by the FAMSS ratings, and patient-provider collaboration (r = .53, p = .003). These findings suggest that more collaborative patient-provider relationships may be linked to higher medication adherence among adolescents with poorly controlled asthma.
Is There Feminism in Saudi Arabia?
Authors: Hoza Jacquelyn Lauren
Published: March 2019

The use of the word feminism might be problematic in trying to describe women’s movement in Saudi Arabia because of historical and social factors associated with the feminist movement. Feminism is a movement that developed out of Western context and discourse, therefore it might not properly describe what is taking place in Saudi Arabia. A comparison between women’s movements in Saudi Arabia and the Western feminist movement reveals important differences. This, however, does not mean that Saudis are not preoccupied by the theme of justice as it pertains to gender issues. The aim of this research is thus to challenge the view that Saudi women have no agency and to explore the ways they seek to shape their society and challenge oppressive systems from within their own culture and worldview. This research will discuss why feminist theory may not be the ideal, and certainly not the only system that can address oppressive systems in non-Western societies, including Saudi Arabia. Additionally, this research will describe and analyze the ways in which Saudi women are working towards defining their own views of equity and creating women's movement within their society.
Rufus Nims: Mid-century Modern and Florida Tropical Architecture
Authors: Mason Emily Grace
Published: March 2019

Mid-century modern architecture developed after the Second World War as numerous technological advancements allowed for open house plans with the increased use of glass and a reconfiguration of indoor-outdoor relationships. Rufus Nims, a Miami architect (1913–2005), hybridized emerging ideas of mid-century modernism with climatic design that emerged in field of tropical architecture after the Second World War. Nims experimented with homes that had disappearing walls; and that could be comfortable in the hot and humid climate of Florida. This paper will analyze Rufus Nims’ role in the development of Florida Tropical Architecture, through his seamless integration of indoor and outdoor spaces. Further, this study will assess how Rufus Nims used tropical architecture strategies in South Florida, such as screened-in porches, disappearing walls, and landscape integration. The paper argues that Rufus Nims’ architectural ideas were based on emerging redefinition of the indoor-outdoor spatial relationships as was evident in the broader mid-century modern movement and Florida Tropical Architecture.
The Joint of the Architect’s Hand
Authors: Rodrigues Carol-Anne
Published: March 2019

In modern day architecture practice, the role of the hand in the design process has been displaced by the advent of new technology. There is an inherent desire in practice to rely fully on the computer, which within its digital parameters removes the direct connection of the architect’s hand from the creative process. To create meaningful architecture, it is imperative to understand that the relationship of the architect’s hand in the design process is as critical as the relationship of the architectural joint to the project. To understand the hand, I approached it architecturally and rigorously studied its form and structure. At the same time, I studied several sculptors and artists, such as Richard Serra, Eduardo Chillida, Robert Morris and Eva Hesse who concentrated on the process over the final product.  I created section drawings of select pieces and analyzed them with hand motions to study their forms. With these analyses, I created a material joint that explored different ways to “hold” masses and “join” different materials. With my hand analyses and material joints, I have understood the level of the “joint” at different scales: from the hand that makes the architecture to the actual structure that holds architecture together.
Efficient use of intellectual property
Authors: Senchenia Grigory I.
Published: March 2019

With the acceleration of technological development and the digital transformation of economies, the impact of intellectual property on economic growth will increase. The article shows that the forms and means of legal protection and use of intellectual property will evolve in line with the opportunities that will be provided by the infrastructure (production, fixation, management, tracking and protection of intellectual property rights) in this area. In Russia, the “digitalization” of legal protection and use of intellectual property rights will make it possible to form public-private platforms for rights management, which will create additional opportunities for authors to effectively manage their rights. This will attract investors to the non-raw-material sector of the economy and may become an important driver for the development of the digital economy in the country as a whole.
Pricing models of shares of Russian companies and their practical application
Authors: Abramov Alexander E. , Radygin Alexander D. , Chernova Maria I.
Published: March 2019

The article analyzes the problems of applying stock pricing models in the Russian stock market. The novelty of the study lies in the peculiarities of the methodology used and the substantive conclusions on the specifics of the influence of fundamental factors on the pricing of shares of Russian companies. The study was conducted using its own 5-factor basic pricing model based on a sample of the most complete number of issues of shares of Russian issuers and a long time horizon, from 1997 to 2017. The market portfolio was the widest for a set of issuers. We consider the factor model as a kind of universal indicator of the efficiency of the stock market performance of its functions. The article confirms the significance of factors of a broad market portfolio, size, liquidity and, in part, momentum (inertia). However, starting from 2011, the significance of factors began to decrease as the qualitative characteristics of the stock market deteriorated due to the outflow of foreign portfolio investment, combined with the low level of development of domestic institutional investors. Also identified is the cyclical nature of the actions of company size and liquidity factors. Their ability to generate additional income on shares rises mainly at the stage of the fall of the stock market. The results of the study suggest that as domestic institutional investors develop on the Russian stock market, factor investment strategies can be used as a tool to increase the return on investor portfolios.

The research subjects were students in the 4th semester Learning Planning lectures in the STKIP PGRI Tulungagung economic education department. The method of implementation is(1) conveying character values when delivering learning planning as a basis for completing tasks; (2) delivery of values associated with the content of learning planning material; and (3) monitoring internalization of values through interviews and weekly task consultations, assessment points include indicator hard work points in the form of consultative discipline and task quality, indicator collaboration points in the form of division of roles, communication, interactions, and initiatives in study groups. The results of the character education implementation study showed an increase towards the good behavior of students and able to improve student achievement. Learning achievement is considered as a side effect of character education in the learning process.
A CONSCIÊNCIA E SUA EXPRESSÃO
Authors: Rosenthal David
Published: March 2019

A full description of the emotions does inevitably make reference to their intentional content. States such as joy, fear, anger, astonishment, sorrow, delight, and disappointment are all about things, and they all represent those things as having certain properties. The emotions, like cognitive states, do have intentional content, but it is equally plain that the emotions are not just special cases of propositional attitudes, but are distinctive types of mental state. What is it, then, that distinguishes the emotions from cognitive states? Part of the answer doubtless lies with the phenomenal feel that emotions exhibit. There is normally a particular way one feels when one is angry, joyful, jealous, afraid, or sad, whereas the propositional attitudes have no such phenomenal aspect. Although the occurrence of some phenomenal feel or other is characteristic of most emotions, phenomenal feel is a lot less central to the nature of those states than is often supposed. There is more to something's being a self than the collection of mental states it is in; those states must go together in a way that results in some characteristic unity and individuality. After briefly reviewing some general issues that arise in explaining consciousness, I put forth and briefly defend a hypothesis about what it is for mental states to be conscious and about how conscious mental states differ from those which are not. Using that hypothesis, then, I develop an explanation both of why all verbally expressed cognitive states are conscious and why affective states may well fail to be conscious even when verbally expressed.

Published: March 2019

This research work examines the factors that determine the selection of external auditor among Global Brand listed companies in Nigeria. The variables of Audit Big 4 firms which include Deloitte, Klynveld Peat Marwick Goerdeler, (KPMG) and Price Water House Coopers (PWC) where selected as choice target for this research work. Big four audit firm of Ernst’s & Young (E&Y) was excluded in the sample as it is found not to have provided audit services to any of the selected global brand listed company in Nigeria during the period covered by this study. The study employed the methodology of Multinomial Probit Regression (MPR) analysis in X-raying the data. Empirical evidence shows that there is a significant positive relationship between firm size and choice of external auditor’s selection for the big four audit firms of KPMG and Deloitte. The study also provides a revelation that the relationship between the variable of firm size is negative and statistically significant with audit firm of Price Water House Coopers (PWC). The research work carefully recommends that global brand companies in Nigeria with interest to hire audit services of Deloitte and KPMG must ensure that its total asset is significantly large. But suffice to state here that this may not apply to the audit firm of Price Water House Copper Corporation where the variable of audit fee is a significant determinant in the quest for employing it audit services.

Potato is one of the world’s fourth most important food crop after rice, wheat and corn. More than one billion people consume potatoes worldwide and it is the part of the diet of half a billion people in developing countries. In terms of area, India ranks third in the world after China and Russia and second in production after China. Afield experiment on effects of different fertilizer doses on yield and its attributes on potato was conducted during Rabi season for three consecutive years with an objective to prevent the indiscriminate use of fertilizers by the potato growers. The experiment was laid out in Randomized Block Design with seven treatments and 3 replications. The results revealed that potato treated with T2= 100% RDF i.e. 150 kg N, 60 kg P2O5 and 120 kg K2O recorded a yield of 15.33 t/ha which was at par with that recorded by T3 i.e. 150% RDF (13.74 t/ha). The fertilizer dose of 100% RDF was found beneficial for improving yield, quality and storability of potato tubers. The gross monitory return (Rs. 1,83,397/ha) and net monitory return (Rs. 98,401/ ha) were found to be maximum in treatment T2. B:C ratio was found to be maximum in T2.

The goal of developing aircraft that are greener, safer and cheaper can only be maintained through significant innovations in aircraft design. An integrated multidisciplinary design approach can lead to an increase in the performance of future derivative aircraft. Advanced aerodynamics and structural design technologies can be achieved by both passive and active suppression of aeroelastic instabilities. To demonstrate the potential of this approach, the EU-funded project Flutter Free Flight Envelope Expansion for Economical Performance Improvement is developing an unmanned aerial vehicle with a high-aspect-ratio-wing and clearly defined flutter characteristics. The aircraft is used as an experimental test platform. The scope of this work is the investigation of the aeroelastic behaviour of the aircraft and the determination of its flutter limits. The modeling of unsteady aerodynamics is performed by means of the small disturbance CFD approach that provides higher fidelity compared to conventional linear-potential-theory-based methods. The CFD-based and the linear-potential-theory-based results are compared and discussed. Furthermore, the sensitivity of the flutter behaviour to the geometric level of detail of the CFD model is evaluated.
Synergy Effects in Electric and Hybrid Electric Aircraft

Published: March 2019

The interest in electric and hybrid electric power system has been increasing, in recent times, due to the benefits of this technology, such as high power-to-weight ratio, reliability, compactness, quietness, and, above all, elimination of local pollutant emissions. One of the key factors of these technologies is the possibility to exploit the synergy between powertrain, structure, and mission. This investigation addresses this topic by applying multi-objective optimization to two test cases—a fixed-wing, tail-sitter, Vertical Take-off and Landing Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (VTOL-UAV), and a Medium-Altitude Long-Endurance Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (MALE-UAV). Cruise time and payload weight were selected as goals for the first optimization problem, while fuel consumption and electric endurance were selected for the second one. The optimizations were performed with Non-dominated Sorting Genetic Algorithm-II (NSGA-II) and S-Metric Selection Evolutionary Multiobjective Algorithm (SMS-EMOA), by taking several constraints into account. The VTOL-UAV optimization was performed, at different levels (structure only, power system only, structure and power system together). To better underline the synergic effect of electrification, the potential benefit of structural integration and multi-functionalization was also addressed. The optimization of the MALE-UAV was performed at two different levels (power system only, power system, and mission profile together), to explore the synergic effect of hybridization. Results showed that large improvements could be obtained, either in the first test case when, both, the powertrain design and the aircraft structure were considered, and in the optimization of the hybrid electric UAV, where the optimization of the aircraft flight path gave a strong contribution to the overall performances.
Investigating the Crucial Role of Optic Flow in Postural Control: Central vs. Peripheral Visual Field
Authors: Raffi Milena , Piras Alessandro
Published: March 2019

Optic flow stimuli are crucial for the control of stance in the upright position. The visual control of posture has recently received a lot of interest from several researchers. One of the most intriguing aspects is the contribution of the different parts of the visual field in the control of stance. Here we reviewed the results of several studies performed with different methodologies that tried to determine the effect of optic flow on postural control, by analyzing the role of the central and peripheral visual fields. Although the results were controversial, the majority of these studies agreed to assign the most important role in postural control to the peripheral retina. However, these studies were performed using different approaches and different definitions of the central and peripheral visual fields. The choice of the exact portion of the retina to be stimulated is crucial given that the stimulation of the central and the peripheral parts of the retina leads to the activation of different geniculo-cortical pathways and results in different cortical processing of information.

Published: March 2019

The scope of the paper includes the analysis of various quality parameters of fried instant noodles depending on the type and amount of the additive added to the basic recipe. For the analyzed instant noodles, the effect of hydroxypropylmethylcellulose (HPMC), microcrystalline cellulose (MCG), maltodextrin, and psyllium on the quality parameters (oil uptake, moisture, water activity, color, and acoustics) were determined. Results show that the quality parameters of instant noodles significantly depend on the type and amount of additives. The addition of HPMC and MCG resulted in decrease absorption, while the use of maltodextrin and psyllium increased the fat absorbed during frying. There is a significant relationship between the type of additive and the color of instant noodles. Color brightening was observed for instant noodles with the HPMC and MCG, while the addition of maltodextrin and psyllium contributed in the darkening of instant noodles (reduction of the L* parameter). The type of additives significantly influenced the texture of the instant noodles. The samples with a 3% addition of maltodextrin had a softer texture than the control sample, while the instant noodles with the HPMC, MCG, and Psyllium were characterized by a harder texture. For instant noodles with the addition of HPMC, MCG, and Psyllium larger number of acoustic events and higher breaking force were observed than for the control one. The frying temperature significantly influenced the texture of analyzed instant noodles (acoustic and mechanical properties). Increasing frying temperature from 160–170 °C caused a significant increase in acoustic descriptors and force.
