Authors: Alaniz Gabriel , García Meda Miguel , Moreno Cristian , Ortega Julieta , Morales Mara , Romo Luis , Flores Vásquez Eduardo
Published: December 2023

El artículo describe el proceso de construcción de una nueva escala para evaluar la autoestima en adolescentes, la Escala de Medición de la Autoestima para Adolescente (EMAA) también nombrada como Autoestimómetro. Surge ante problemas de baja autoestima y conflictos entre estudiantes en una escuela secundaria de México. Inicialmente se aplicó la Escala de Autoestima de Rosenberg, encontrando niveles medios y bajos de autoestima. Ante esto, se desarrolló la EMAA basada en la evaluación subjetiva estandarizada con 5 niveles de autoestima (de baja a alta). Se fundamenta en la autoeficacia de Bandura. La EMAA es autoadministrada, para adolescentes, mide la autoestima como rasgo y contiene 3 ítems con afirmaciones positivas y negativas por cada nivel. Los ítems se basan en sustento teórico, con lenguaje accesible y número limitado. Presenta niveles verbalmente etiquetados en formato analógico-verbal. El proceso siguió recomendaciones para construcción de escalas: base conceptual, propósito específico, comprensión, aceptabilidad, análisis de ítems y sistematización. La EMAA es una escala breve que puede contribuir a evaluar y monitorear la autoestima en población adolescente.
Virtual Reality in Linguistic Teaching to Immigrants
Authors: Sánchez Eduardo , Burgos Marta , Saborido Ana
Published: December 2023

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the opportunities and limitations of virtual reality for language teaching for migrants in everyday life situations where the significance of cultural background can also play a lateral role. To develop this virtual reality tool, a co-creation approach was used, involving two types of end-users: immigrants and refugees, as well as teachers and facilitators from three different parts of the world. Europe: Catalonia, Germany and Greece. To assess opportunities and constraints, a mixed qualitative and quantitative approach will be used, where end-users will be interviewed and a questionnaire will be administered to collect their evaluations. In this approach, analysing the responses from the user's perspective is essential for continuous improvement. This research is part of the European project WELCOME (Multiple Intelligence Conversation Agent Services for Reception, Management and Integration of Third Country Nationals in the EU), which aims to use technology to support the reception and integration of migrants in Europe. The results obtained from this study will help developers associated with the project to improve the technology and virtual reality to make it more accessible and user-friendly for migrants and serve as a language acquisition tool in real-life situations.

This study examined, from the perspective of health professionals, the potential benefits of intervention measures promoting proper food intake and healthy living among children aged 5 to 12 years. Survey methodology was utilized for this study. The entire health staff of the Warri South Local Government Area in Delta State, Nigeria, comprising 291 individuals, comprised the study population. 165 respondents constituted the study's sample. A structured questionnaire using a four-point rating scale—Very High Extent (VHE), High Extent (HE), Low Extent (LE), and Very Low Extent (VLE)—with values of 4, 3, 2, and 1 was the instrument for data collection. For data analysis pertaining to the research questions, mean and standard deviation were utilized. A mean score of 2.5 represented the decision level. Results revealed that campaigns opposing excessive cassava flakes consumption could help to reduce the risk of eye problems and cancer in children, prevent inadequate nutrient intake, decrease the likelihood of obesity, and promote healthy growth, among others. Effective campaigns against improper food intake should be spearheaded by churches, community-based groups and organizations, and conducted in collaboration with families, particularly parents.
A INTENSIFICAÇÃO DO PARECER:
Authors: Zen Breno Bertoldo Dalla
Published: December 2023

De acordo com Jean-Jacques Rousseau, a diferença entre o ser e o parecer explicaria por si todos os vícios dos homens e todos os males da sociedade. Esta distinção explica também o desenvolvimento do sentimento do amour-propre, que permite aos homens a comparação; a partir deste ponto, a estima pública passou a ser o grande guia das ações humanas, e os homens deixaram de pensar por si mesmos, tomando por necessárias as opiniões dos outros. Isso nos faz pensar: se na época de Rousseau a estima pública já era uma preocupação constante no meio social, no Século XXI, com a difusão da cultura digital e das mídias sociais, a preocupação sobre como parecemos diante dos olhos do outro é reiterada diariamente, em uma espécie de intensificação do parecer.
O CONCEITO DA VONTADE GERAL:
Authors: Carvalho Manoel Jarbas Vasconcelos
Published: December 2023

Ao analisarmos o verbete “Economia política” (1755) de Rousseau ressaltamos a importância do até então ineditismo do conceito da vontade geral na obra do genebrino. Pela primeira vez esta ideia basilar, do pensamento político de Jean-Jacques, ganha contornos. Ainda, nesta época, bastante influenciado pela filosofia de Diderot, em especial, por seu artigo “Direito natural”, Rousseau mostra como a vontade geral é o centro de sua economia política. No entanto, como iremos perceber no verbete, o genebrino desenvolve, em relação ao seu contemporâneo, suas próprias noções da concepção em questão afastando-se gradualmente das ideias de seu parceiro. Nosso propósito, neste estudo, é mostrar, no escrito mencionado, o que é a vontade geral para Rousseau. Para tal, dividimos esta pesquisa em três partes: na primeira, discorremos brevemente sobre a volonté générale no artigo de Diderot; na segunda, analisamos a noção da vontade geral no verbete de Rousseau; e, por fim, mostramos a ingerência de Diderot sobre Rousseau acerca do conceito da vontade geral.
GRAMÁTICA GERAL E COMPUTAÇÃO
Authors: Neto e Silva Lourenço Fernandes
Published: December 2023

A importância do sensualismo setecentista nas origens da teoria computacional é um aspecto pouco contemplado na historiografia. Neste artigo, apresentamos conceitos manejados pelos gramáticos do século XVIII que conduzem a uma compreensão do raciocínio e das matemáticas que prenuncia desenvolvimentos da computação. No cerne desta mudança está uma noção prática do entendimento, que põe o devir do código-linguagem em primeiro plano e compreende o cálculo como uma prática que surge das circunstâncias particulares de um problema concreto dado. A assimilação das matemáticas a uma teoria gramatical, por Condillac em particular, está relacionada às origens de conceitos que teriam muita fortuna em nossos tempos: sistema, sintaxe, série de caracteres, informação, dados, o digital, o virtual. Exploramos essa compreensão nas obras tardias de Condillac a fim de estabelecer uma correlação surpreendente entre a filosofia da sensação e do pathos e as origens de uma concepção computacional das matemáticas.
PIEDADE, OPINIÃO PÚBLICA E VONTADE GERAL EM ROUSSEAU:
Authors: Guimarães Pedro Augusto Pereira
Published: December 2023

O escopo da crítica de Hannah Arendt (1906-1975) à obra de Jean-Jacques Rousseau (1712-1778) alcança os principais textos do pensador genebrino. Na falta de espaço para examinar e avaliar a crítica em toda a sua extensão, o artigo limita-se às críticas feita pela autora no livro Sobre a Revolução [1963] de que ao deslocar a piedade, que é absoluta, para a esfera pública ela se manifestou como terror revolucionário e no texto Que é liberdade [1968] de que ao excluir o processo de argumentação e persuasão do exercício da soberania esta se converteu numa forma de tirania.  Com efeito, enfrenta-se dois problemas. Primeiro, em Rousseau a piedade é de fato absoluta como Arendt supôs? Segundo, o soberano reduziu de fato os cidadãos ao silêncio? A hipótese levantada é a de que em Rousseau a piedade não é absoluta pois a honra e a opinião pública estão acima dela, e os cidadãos não foram reduzidos ao silêncio durante o exercício da soberania porque todos os votos são contados e qualquer exclusão coloca a vontade particular no lugar da vontade geral.
VOLTAIRE E SCHILLER:
Authors: Nascimento Anna Clara Carvalho
Published: December 2023

O tema que irei apresentar aqui é acerca da educação estética, mais precisamente, a educação estética na perspectiva de dois importantes filósofos do século XVIII, a saber, Voltaire e Schiller. Por educação estética aqui se entende a ferramenta que, por meio da arte, “conserta” o descompasso que há entre razão e sensibilidade. Esse descompasso aprisiona os seres humanos, levando-os a agir de forma “selvagem”, “bárbara” ou “infame”, portanto, imoral. Acreditando que os males morais da modernidade se fundam num problema estético, a intenção de Voltaire e Schiller é, por meio desta educação, libertar a humanidade e fazê-la agir moralmente. O filósofo alemão concorda com o francês que a arte é o único caminho à liberdade, no entanto, eles divergem a respeito de como a subjetividade humana deve se formar.

Von Werten, Interessen und Notwendigkeiten – welche (Verfassungs-) Perspektiven hat eine europäische Sicherheits- und Verteidigungsunion?
Authors: Kotzur Markus
Published: December 2023

Der Angriffskrieg der Russischen Föderation gegen die Ukraine markiert eine dramatische Zäsur für die europäische Sicherheitsordnung; er trifft Europas Handlungsfähigkeit als globaler politischer Akteur, seine strategische Autonomie ebenso wie seine Identität als Rechts- und Friedensgemeinschaft in ihrem Kern. Damit wird die Weiterentwicklung der Gemeinsamen Sicherheits- und Verteidigungspolitik (GSVP) der Europäischen Union zu einer der zentralen Integrationsfragen. Je rascher und mit umso gravierenderen Folgen sich das geopolitische Umfeld wandelt, umso mehr dringt ins gemeineuropäische Bewusstsein, dass die oft beschworene Verteidigungs- und Sicherheitsunion nicht rein virtuell bleiben darf. Vorliegender Beitrag diskutiert zunächst die Werte, Interessen und Notwendigkeiten einer europäischen Sicherheits- und Verteidigungspolitik und adressiert dann die Entwicklungsschritte hin zu einer Sicherheits- und Verteidigungsunion. Im Ergebnis schlägt er den konstruktiven Umgang mit der offenen Finalität einer solchen Union im Werden vor.

Indirekte Horizontalverflechtungen zwischen Wettbewerbs-, Kapitalmarkt- und Aktienrecht
Authors: Sedaghat Kerdar Sebastian
Published: December 2023

Can parallel shareholdings within a market weaken competition? This question is debated among legal scholars and economists as „Common Ownership“. This title examines whether and how minority shareholdings in competing undertakings by institutional investors, in particular the “Big Three” asset management firms, can have anticompetitive effects. The thesis discusses which barriers existing competition, capital markets and corporate laws draw for such effects, as well as what a future legislative solution might look like. It includes the current theoretical and empirical economic research on the subject.
Die Kunst erfolgreicher Compliance
Authors: Jüttner Markus
Published: December 2023

Die Suche nach den Erfolgsfaktoren einer wirksamen Compliance kann Manager durchaus überfordern, aber auch mit einer gewissen Ratlosigkeit zurücklassen. Einerseits werden standardisierte Compliance Systeme propagiert, andererseits immer wieder neue "best practice" Compliance Methoden zur Umsetzung empfohlen. Der Autor zeigt vor diesem Hintergrund weniger auf, wie man "gute Compliance" tätigt, sondern wie man "schlechte Compliance" vermeidet. Unter anderem wird dargelegt, warum eine Compliance-Kultur nicht gestaltbar, aber beeinflussbar ist, warum kompliziert nicht die kleine Schwester von komplex ist und warum Loyalität sowie Vertrauen durchaus Zutaten unternehmenskrimineller Handlungen sein können. Mit dem Werk erlangen Compliance Officer das Rüstzeug, Compliance beherrschbar und effektiv zu managen.

Zugewandt und behutsam im Umgang mit Traumata Traumata und ihre Folgen sind nicht nur für den Umgang mit Geflüchteten ein brennendes Thema. Dieser Band liefert das Grundwissen, um sich traumaerfahrenen Menschen kompetent und rücksichtsvoll zuzuwenden. Nicht selten kommen psychiatrisch Tätige unwissentlich mit Traumafolgestörungen in Kontakt. Umso wichtiger ist es, für typische Traumafolgen sensibilisiert zu sein, um missverständliche Verhaltensweisen einordnen zu können. Dieses Buch informiert leicht verständlich und kompakt über Trauma-Ursachen, -folgen und -bewältigungsmuster. Es zeigt Unterstützungsmöglichkeiten auf und hilft, Retraumatisierungen zu vermeiden, ohne die eigenen Belastungen aus dem Blick zu verlieren. So finden traumatisierte Menschen auch in psychiatrischen Settings einen »sicheren Raum«, insbesondere dadurch, dass sie einbezogen werden und ihr Expertentum anerkannt wird.
Acromegaly: Overview and Current Management Options
Authors: Ahmad Maleeha , J. Weil Robert
Published: December 2023

Growth-hormone-producing pituitary adenomas in adults will be the focus of this review acromegaly is a disorder caused by pathologically excess levels of growth hormone (GH), nearly always secondary to a pituitary somatotroph adenoma, which account for 10–20% of all pituitary adenomas. Acromegaly is a pan-systemic disease, including but not limited to effects of excess growth hormone on the cardiovascular, respiratory, gastrointestinal, metabolic, and reproductive systems. This raises the concern for clinicians and patients alike in diagnosing the underlying disease when multiple systems are involved. Numerous organ systems may be differentially affected, and the multiplicity of signs and symptoms possibly overlap with other conditions, with the typically slow progression of the disease, it may take years from the initiation of biochemical GH excess before a diagnosis of acromegaly is made. The goal of effective treatment of acromegaly is to eliminate hypersecretion of GH and normalize the production of IGF-1 while preserving normal pituitary function. Medication, radiotherapy, and surgery, often in combination, and over time, are required to mitigate, reduce, and eliminate the morbidity and excess, premature mortality caused by GH elevation.
Perspective Chapter: Health and Safety in Oyster Aquaculture
Authors: Estrada Norma
Published: December 2023

The globalization of oyster markets has accelerated the commercial exchange of food, needing to implement strategies that contribute to ensuring the safety of food products. Among the factors that can threaten the safety of oysters are chemical contaminants (heavy metals, antibiotics, pesticides, etc.), biological (viruses, bacteria, etc.), and physical (pieces of metal, splinters, among others). These characteristics, together with the organoleptic, commercial, and nutritional ones, constitute the basic requirements that must be considered to access the various markets because they provide a high degree of confidence to the consumer. Oyster products for human consumption need a sanitary certification that guarantees the quality of their products and ensures competitive and permanent participation in the market. To achieve this, each link in the chain food industry must establish controls and activities that minimize contamination risks.
Allogeneic Islet Transplantation and Future
Authors: Matsumoto Shinichi , Asari Sadaki , Nanno Yoshihide , Fukumoto Takumi
Published: December 2023

Pancreatic islets contain beta cells which produce insulin based on the blood glucose levels resulting in tight control of blood glucose levels. In type 1 diabetic patients, most of the beta cells are destroyed, therefore, pharmaceutical insulin injection is mandatory to avoid diabetes-related illness and death. Even with recent advanced insulin therapy, hypoglycemia is a critical limiting factor to control blood glucose levels. There is no doubt that hypoglycemia can be fatal. Allogeneic islet transplantation can prevent severe hypoglycemia and provide excellent blood glucose control. On the other hand, allograft donor shortage is the major issue. To overcome donor shortage, xenograft has been used and shown safety and efficacy. Recently stem-cell-derived beta cells are clinically applied. In this chapter, the history and current status of allogenic islet transplantation and future scope are described.

Published: December 2023

An increased number of spectral channels in the visible to near-infrared region (VNIR) and short-wave infrared region (SWIR) in hyperspectral sensors help in the identification of distinct variations in minerals. Airborne Visible Infrared Imaging Spectrometer-Next Generation (AVIRIS-NG) hyperspectral sensor with 425 spectral bands is useful for mineral Constrained Energy Minimization (CEM), Spectral Angle Mapper (SAM), and Adaptive Coherence Estimator (ACE) advanced tools utilized to detect target minerals in the study area for mineral exploration. Minimum Noise Fraction (MNF), ACE, SAM and CEM advanced hyperspectral remote sensing techniques were applied to the AVIRIS-NG airborne data to map the kaolinite, dolomite, chlorite and hematite. In the MNF images, some areas are prominently highlighted and identified as areas of interest. CEM algorithm has classified the four minerals better than the ACE and SAM. The potential zones identified from the remote sensing data were verified, and abandoned old mines are present in three locations out of four. These locations are picked up well in different MNF images. In the mapped area, carbonate is present in the form of altered minerals in metabasalt, and iron leached surface indicates hematite mineral. The remote sensing outputs well also supported by the petrographic studies. The approach used in this study has great implications for mineral mapping.
The Combined Use of Particulate Allografts (DFDBA) and Platelet Concentrates in Oral and Maxillo-Facial Surgery
Authors: Evrard Laurence
Published: December 2023

Among the biomaterials used in the field of oral surgery, allogeneic bone is considered as a good material. In the particulate form, demineralized freeze-dried bone allograft (DFDBA) is useful in many procedures in maxillofacial surgery. Platelet concentrate (platelet-rich fibrin, PRF) is obtained by centrifugation of blood. This contains high concentrations of growth factors and could enhance healing, and possibly improve bone repair and regeneration. Although it remains unclear whether they are able to accelerate bone healing and influence bone quality, platelet concentrates accelerate dermal soft tissue and oral mucosa healing post-extraction. A combination of particulate DFDBA and platelet concentrate (PRF) is used in our department for horizontal and vertical bone grafts.
Effect of Ascorbic Acid on the Kidneys
Authors: Kayis Ceren
Published: December 2023

Vitamin C is necessary for the human body since it aids in the synthesis of many structural proteins and functions as an enzyme cofactor. For many years, it has been consumed as part of a diet and as a food supplement due to its antioxidant properties and immunomodulatory effect. For many years, scientists have been researching the therapeutic effects of vitamin C. The only efficacy proven in these researches extending to the present day is on scurvy. The adverse effects of vitamin C, which is currently being tested in a variety of diseases as well as its therapeutic effects, are of interest. The effect on the increase in urinary oxalate of oxalic acid produced by metabolization is linked to the formation of calcium oxalate stones. There are many studies on this effect with different forms and doses of vitamin C administration. Furthermore, researchers approach the effect it has on nephropathy with skepticism. The effect of vitamin C on the kidney is evaluated in this study by incorporating various viewpoints.
From Challenges to Solutions, Heteroepitaxy of GaAs-Based Materials on Si for Si Photonics
Authors: Yang Junjie , Deng Huiwen , Park Jae-Seong , Chen Siming , Tang Mingchu , Liu Huiyun
Published: December 2023

Monolithic growth of III-V materials onto Si substrates is appealing for realizing practical on-chip light sources for Si-based photonic integrated circuits (PICs). Nevertheless, the material dissimilarities between III-V materials and Si substrates inevitably lead to the formation of crystalline defects, including antiphase domains (APBs), threading dislocations (TDs), and micro-cracks. These nontrivial defects lead to impaired device performance and must be suppressed to a sufficiently low value before propagating into the active region. In this chapter, we review current approaches to control the formation of defects and achieve high-quality GaAs monolithically grown on Si substrates. An APB-free GaAs on complementary-metal-oxide semiconductor (CMOS)-compatible Si (001) substrates grown by molecular beam epitaxy (MBE) only and a low TD density GaAs buffer layer with strained-layer superlattice (SLS) and asymmetric step-graded (ASG) InGaAs layers are demonstrated. Furthermore, recent advances in InAs/GaAs quantum dot (QD) lasers as efficient on-chip light sources grown on the patterned Si substrates for PICs are outlined.

Authors: Sari Emy Novita , Arso Septo Pawelas , Jati Sutopo Patria
Published: December 2023

Pharmacy installations are an integral part of the health service system in hospitals   which is oriented towards patient care. One indicator of the quality of pharmaceutical services is the waiting time for drug services, where the waiting time for drug services is very determining. This study aims to analyze the waiting time for drug services using the Lean concept in the Outpatient Pharmacy Installation X Hospital Semarang. This research is a descriptive analytical research conducted at the Pharmacy Installation X Hospital Semarang. The research was conducted from July to September 2023. Researchers calculated the waiting time for drug services for 100 prescriptions consisting of 50 compounded prescriptions (25 UHC prescriptions and 25 non- UHC prescriptions) and 50 ready-made or non-mixed drug prescriptions (25 UHC prescriptions and 25 prescriptions non- UHC). The data analysis technique was carried out in a qualitative descriptive manner by analyzing the results of observations, then root cause analysis was carried out by in-depth interviews with the Head of Pharmacy and source triangulation with the Medical Support Manager of Hospital X Semarang. The minimum time required to process non-concocted drug prescriptions for UHC patients is 23 minutes, while the maximum time required is 171 minutes (average 81.84 minutes). Prescribing non-concocted medicines for non- UHC patients takes a minimum of 21 minutes and a maximum of 108 minutes (average 44.60 minutes). Prescribing concocted medicines for UHC patients takes a minimum of 53 minutes and a maximum of 180 minutes (average 99.80 minutes). Prescribing concocted medicines for non- UHC patients takes a minimum of 48 minutes and a maximum of 128 minutes (average 73.56 minutes). The total mean time for non-concocted medication was 66.90 minutes, which was divided into a mean VA of 33.72 minutes with a percentage to CT of 51.89%, and NVA of 32.18 minutes with a percentage to CT of 48.11%. The total mean time for concocted medication was 86.06 minutes, which was divided into a mean VA of 43.08 minutes with a percentage of CT of 50.05%, and Non-VA of 42.98 minutes with a percentage of CT of 49.95%. Based on determining problem priorities according to the table above, the highest score for the problems found was man. Concocted medicines have a longer waiting time compared to non-concocted medicines, especially for UHC patients. The value stream mapping assessment of non-concocted medicines resulted in an average non-value added of >30%, which means there is high waste which affects the waiting time for medicines. The average overtime for non-concocted medicine services is more than 30 minutes, as well as more than 60 minutes for compounded medicines. The human resources aspect is what must be addressed first.

It’s not every day that you find out you have climbed the exalted heights of another discipline. My work is pretty interdisciplinary, but it shocked me, too, that I’m apparently holding forth on neoliberalism and the epistemic question in African universities (archive link): Figure 1: Apparently, I’m commenting on neoliberalism in African universities.

كما كشفت نتائج الدراسة أنّ نظم ذكاء الأعمال (التحليل الفوري للبيانات، إدارة اداء الأعمال، المعرفة التنافسية) تفسر ما نسبته (46%) من التأثير الحاصل في القدرة المؤسسية، وأنّ متغير (إدارة أداء الأعمال) لا يشكل أي تأثير في تحقيق النضج التنظيمي في حين أن باقي أبعاد نظم ذكاء الأعمال تؤثر في القدرة المؤسسية بنسب متفاوتة.
Automated Inverse Kinematics Configuration Selection for Path Planning of a 6-DOF Robot
Authors: Nguyen Xuan-Vinh , Nguyen Ngoc-Lam
Published: December 2023

This article presents an automated technique for selecting suitable inverse configurations for the path planning of robots with six degrees of freedom (6 DOF). Traditionally, robots were limited to a single fixed configuration for movement, but now there's a growing need for robots that can adapt to different situations, especially in unknown environments. In this study, we introduce an innovative approach designed to assist a small industrial robot known as AKB-IRV1. This approach helps the robot determine and automatically select the most suitable configuration to move, which is essential for effective path planning. We simplify a complex problem related to how the robot's joints work through geometric analysis, breaking it down into two stages: calculation and selection of the best joint angles for movement. We also use computer simulations to assess the robot's workspace, considering joint angles as constraints. Our findings reveal that taking joint angles into account significantly reduces the robot's effective workspace. We also present a method for the robot to automatically choose the right configuration when planning its path, especially in uncertain situations. This ability allows the robot to change its configuration as needed, aligning with the goal of minimizing configuration changes. This method has promising applications for intelligent robots operating in unfamiliar environments.

Drought stress was a main problem of maize production in Thailand. This study aimed to evaluate the effect of drought stress at different development stages and maize varieties (Zea mays L.) on growth, physiological responses, and grain yield to maintain maize production. The experiment was arranged in split-plot in a Randomized Completely Block Design (RCBD) with four replications. The main plot was control (well-watered) and drought stress at different development stages (the vegetative phase (V5), before the reproductive phase (V12), and the grain filling phase (R3)). The sub-plot consisted of four maize varieties: TS1004, NS3, SW4452, and NK6248. Drought stress during the vegetative phase (V5) and before the reproductive phase (V12) was found to be a susceptible stage for maize because grain yield (GY) was decreased by the loss of crop growth rate (CGR) and total soluble sugar content (TSC) and it accumulated proline content. The NK6248 variety was found to be the most suitable for maize production because it had the highest grain yield (GY) and crop growth rate (CGR). In addition, it had low proline content (PC) under drought stress. In summary, under drought stress, it is advisable to select the NK6248 variety for crop production and avoid drought stress in the vegetative phase (V5) and before the reproductive phase (V12) because a mechanism by which maize could maintain its production of this study was the accumulation of total soluble sugar content to decrease proline content under drought stress condition.
Catalytic Oxidation Process and Thermal Characteristics of Toluene and Butyl Acetate Vapor in an Oven
Authors: Inoue Kenichiro
Published: December 2023

Toluene vapor and butyl acetate vapor were oxidized at 523 K in an oven using the Pt/Co3O4-CeO2, Pt/Al2O3, and Co3O4-CeO2 catalysts and a comparison of activity and thermal characteristic among three different catalysts was conducted. The conversion into CO2 was estimated from the change in temperature of a catalyst bed during the oxidation reaction. A relation between heat capacity of the gas and amount of solvent molecule oxidized was clarified. In the oxidation with Pt/Al2O3 catalyst, the butyl acetate could not be completely oxidized, and part remained. Butanol and butanal were formed as by-products of the butyl acetate in the oven, which contained moist air. In the oxidation with Co3O4-CeO2 catalyst, although no butyl acetate remained, some toluene remained and the amount of butanol and butanal increased somewhat after passage over the catalyst bed. By using a catalyst that combined platinum and Co3O4-CeO2 with the original method, both the toluene and butyl acetate were almost completely oxidized at 523 K.

This research evaluated the effectiveness of electron beam irradiation (EBI) on a shelf-life extension of ready-to-eat plant-based burger patties and hard-boiled eggs. The products were irradiated at different doses of the electron beam (2, 3.5, and 5 kGy) and microbiological assays (total aerobic bacteria, yeast and mold, Clostridium perfringens), quality parameters (color, firmness, aw, moisture content, TBA content), and sensory quality of the products were determined. The results indicated that EBI at 2-5 kGy did not affect on physical, chemical qualities and sensory of the products. However, microorganisms were found in the products irradiated at 2 kGy. Therefore, irradiation of products at the dose of 3.5 kGy was chosen for evaluating their nutritional qualities and shelf-life. The data confirmed that electron beam at 3.5 kGy effectively preserved nutritional value, GABA, and phenolic contents, including ACE inhibitory of plant-based meat and egg. The shelf-life of plant-based hard-boiled egg and plant-based burger patties at room temperature was 217 days or 7.25 months, according to an accelerated shelf-life study at 40° and 50 °C.
