First report of the Aphis craccivora Koch on Catasetum sp. in Brazil
Authors: Leite Douglas Machado , Garlet Juliana , Karsburg Isane Vera
Published: January 2018

Abstract. The genus Catasetum (Orchidaceae) currently has 194 orchid species distributed throughout Central America, northern Argentina, and southern Brazil, with Brazil as the largest producer with 103 species that may be epiphytic, terrestrial, or rupicolous. Aphids are insect pests that can damage ornamental plants such as orchids, either directly by sucking their sap or indirectly via secretions. Their secretions are attractive to pathogens and other insects, which then feed on the plant and cause a loss of flowers and leaves, spots to appear, reduced flower production, and flowering deformation. These defects can then reduce the value of the plant. When an aphid attack occurs, their ability to rapidly multiply and spread can cause major disruptions to disruptions to parts of the plant’s life cycle. In this report, we examine how the aphid Aphis craccivora Koch infests Catasetum sp. and causes tissue death, decay of the buttons and base of the stem, and stains in the flowers. Thus, owing to the damage that insects of the family Aphididae can cause ornamental plants, this study aims to report the first recorded A. craccivora attack on Catasetum sp. in Brazil.Primeiro relato de Aphis craccivora Koch in Catasetum sp. no BrasilResumo. O gênero Catasetum (Orchidaceae) tem atualmente 194 espécies de orquídeas distribuídas por toda a América Central, norte da Argentina e sul do Brasil, sendo o Brasil o maior produtor com 103 espécies que podem ser epífitas, terrestres ou rupícolas. Afídeos são insetos-praga que podem danificar plantas ornamentais, como orquídeas, diretamente sugando sua seiva ou indiretamente via secreções. Suas secreções são atrativas para patógenos e outros insetos, que então se alimentam da planta e causam danos em flores e folhas, com surgimento de manchas e deformações nas flores. Estes danos podem então reduzir o valor comercial da planta. Quando ocorre um ataque de pulgão, sua capacidade de se multiplicar e disseminar rapidamente pode causar grandes danos no ciclo de vida da planta. Neste trabalho, relata-se o ataque do pulgão Aphis craccivora Koch em Catasetum sp. O dano observado foi morte de tecidos, e deterioração dos botões e da base da haste, e manchas nas flores. Assim, devido ao dano que os insetos da família Aphididae podem causar plantas ornamentais, este estudo tem como objetivo relatar o primeiro ataque de A. craccivora em Catasetum sp. no Brasil.
Educating the workforce: improving the education and competencies of healthcare assistants in an acute surgical unit
Authors: Hamer Fiona , Ponto Maria
Published: January 2018

It is widely recognised that healthcare assistants (HCAs) have taken some registered nurse (RN) roles; however, the importance of competencies, supervision and monitoring of HCAs is not always recognised.

The aim of this project was to examine the education needs of HCAs for the tasks delegated to them and to provide an education day relevant to these needs.

Methodology involved an audit of knowledge of the participating HCAs. The audit included a short questionnaire, participant observation and focus groups and it provided information on the needs of HCAs.

Findings showed that HCAs spent 80% of their time on direct patient care, 5% on cleaning tasks and 15% on documentation. However, no direction was given to them and there was no monitoring from the RNs.

Initially, one day of training was planned, but after feedback, two days were offered to maximise learning (see Box 2 ). After the sessions, attendees were given an evaluation form and the feedback from the two-day course was positive.

There was a good range of results; two firsts, eleven 2:1s, twenty-one 2:2s and ten thirds. The remarkable aspect of the results is that all students had applied for a course leading to the College of Occupational Therapists’ diploma. In the interim period between applying and entering the course, the honours degree had been validated by the University of Leicester.
Single case design experimentation
Authors: Worthington Andrew D
Published: January 2018

Single case experimental designs permit evaluation of the effects of intervention on individual patients. They afford therapists greater control over the treatment process, and allow direct comparisons to be made between therapeutic strategies. The flexibility and variety of experimental designs suggest that single case research can make major contributions to the methodological and conceptual development of rehabilitation.

Pass the parcel: care of the elderly in the community
Authors: Waters Karen R
Published: January 2018

I have always had some conceptual difficulty with the division of health and social care, finding it difficult to make the distinction between personal care and nursing care. However, recent experience within the family has shed some light on this subject. I now know that I do not have to struggle to make sense of a division of health and social care for older people, since the definition depends not on the service but on who is providing it.

Maps and models
Authors: Steward Barbara
Published: January 2018

This article looks at the similarities between maps and models in the way they represent knowledge. Models may be useful to occupational therapists as they may enable, empower and emancipate them. The use of models has limited, rather than encouraged, discussion and debate about the philosophy of practice. Using models as route maps for practice, rather than as speculative illustrations, may impede the development of professional knowledge and understanding.

Patient-specific medial unicompartmental knee arthroplasty has a greater protective effect on articular cartilage in the lateral compartment
Authors: Kang K-T. , Son J. , Suh D-S. , Kwon S. K. , Kwon O-R. , Koh Y-G.
Published: January 2018

Objectives

Patient-specific (PS) implantation surgical technology has been introduced in recent years and a gradual increase in the associated number of surgical cases has been observed. PS technology uses a patient’s own geometry in designing a medical device to provide minimal bone resection with improvement in the prosthetic bone coverage. However, whether PS unicompartmental knee arthroplasty (UKA) provides a better biomechanical effect than standard off-the-shelf prostheses for UKA has not yet been determined, and still remains controversial in both biomechanical and clinical fields. Therefore, the aim of this study was to compare the biomechanical effect between PS and standard off-the-shelf prostheses for UKA.

Methods

The contact stresses on the polyethylene (PE) insert, articular cartilage and lateral meniscus were evaluated in PS and standard off-the-shelf prostheses for UKA using a validated finite element model. Gait cycle loading was applied to evaluate the biomechanical effect in the PS and standard UKAs.

Results

The contact stresses on the PE insert were similar for both the PS and standard UKAs. Compared with the standard UKA, the PS UKA did not show any biomechanical effect on the medial PE insert. However, the contact stresses on the articular cartilage and the meniscus in the lateral compartment following the PS UKA exhibited closer values to the healthy knee joint compared with the standard UKA.

Conclusion

The PS UKA provided mechanics closer to those of the normal knee joint. The decreased contact stress on the opposite compartment may reduce the overall risk of progressive osteoarthritis.

The understanding towards values, norms ana culture of societies is a crucial matter nowadays considering the close distance among countries in the world. This phenomenon is undoubtedly considered as the result of the advancement of technology distributed and understood by people around the world as a big leap to comprehend societies with their various culture and customs. Thus, the understanding towards multiculturalism is an important issue in global societies to avoid prejudice and stereotypes of other ethnic and tribes. One of the ways is studying the values of multiculturalism either implicitly or explicitly through the work of literature as a reflection of human life. Literary work is regarded as an excellent medium for studying the richness of human nature and its culture considering the fact that only a few people are fortunate to have the opportunity to see and experience other culture. Time and capital constraints have given literary work spaces to accommodate someone's interest in experiencing values, norms and culture of other societies in different areas of the world.

As the garden visiting is rapidly taking place in the character and role of the leisure in the UK there is the need to gain more knowledge on motivation of garden opening and to complete the previous researches aimed mostly at visitors. Although the significance of charity openings, in many cases with personal and local interests, is undoubtedly a manifestation of the success of the National Garden Scheme (NGS), there are many other reasons why the owners decided to share their gardens with the public. The study has captured the owners’ motivation and divided it into six categories revealing different motivations why people took part in The National Garden Scheme. Such an approach uncovers connections between the garden and the owner and the garden opening can be therefore understood in a variety of ways and plays a different role for each owner.

The objective of the residual minimization method is to determine a coefficient correcting the Sabine’s model. The Sabine’s equation is the most commonly applied formula in the designing process of room acoustics with the use of analytical methods. The correction of this model is indispensable for its application in rooms having non-diffusive acoustic field. The authors of the present paper will be using the residual minimization method to work out a suitable correction to be applied for classrooms. For this purpose, five different poorly dampened classrooms were selected, in which the measurements of reverberation time were carried out, and for which reverberation time was calculated with the use of theoretical methods. Three of the selected classrooms had the cubic volume of 258.5 m3 and the remaining two had the cubic volume of 190.8 m3. It was sufficient to estimate the correction for the Sabine’s equation. To verify the results, three other classrooms were selected, in which also the measurements of reverberation time were carried out. The results were verified by means of real measurements of reverberation time and by means of computer simulations in the program ODEON.
Self-Predication and Productive Metonymy
Authors: Rosenthal Saul
Published: January 2018

What does Plato mean in saying that, for all forms, “F-ness is F”? In such claims, I argue, ‘F’ is being used metonymically to refer to the property of being productive of F-ness rather than to the property of being F, in a way consistent with univocity and the rejection of a genuine Self-Predication Assumption. I explain and defend this productive metonymy reading and show how it can resolve the troubling argument atPhaedo74b7-c6.

High quality probiotic powder can lay the foundation for the commercial production of functional dairy products. The freeze-drying method was used for the preservation of microorganisms, having a deleterious effect on the microorganisms viability. In order to reduce the damage to probiotics and to improve the survival rate of probiotics during freeze-drying, the Response Surface Methodology (RSM) was adopted in this research to optimize lyoprotectant composed of amino acids (glycine, arginine) and salts (NaHCO3 and ascorbic acid). Probiotic used was Bifidobacterium bifidum BB01. The regression model (p<0.05) was obtained by Box–Behnken experiment design, indicating this model can evaluate the freeze-drying survival rate of B. bifidum BB01 under different lyoprotectants. The results indicated these concentrations as optimal (in W/V): glycine 4.5%, arginine 5.5%, NaHCO3 0.8% and ascorbic acid 2.3%, respectively. Under these optimal conditions, the survival rate of lyophilized powder of B. bifidum BB01 was significantly increased by 80.9% compared to the control group (6.9±0.62%), the results were agreement with the model prediction value (88.7%).

The production of functional fermented goat milk with synbiotic have attracted widespread attention recently with the purpose of promoting health. The aim of present study was to investigate the effects of several prebiotics (inulin, fructo-oligosaccharide, galacto-oligosaccharide and xylo-oligosaccharide) on antioxidant activity and promote the development of functional goat milk. All the prebiotics exhibited the potential of enhancing the antioxidant activity of fermented goat milk, especially inulin and fructo-oligosaccharide showed better promotive effects. The optimum additions of inulin, xylo-oligosaccharide, galacto-oligosaccharide and fructo-oligosaccharide obtained were 0.6%, 0.6%, 0.6% and 0.4%, respectively. The DPPH radical scavenging rates reached to 75.52%, 74.12%, 69.41%, 80.28%, respectively, and the scavenging rates of superoxide radical were 21.09%, 18.20%, 27.61% and 29.92%, respectively, which were all higher than the control. This paper provides theoretical basis for the development of the functional goat milk.

Published: January 2018

This paper reports about experimental results concerning the influence of 30 nm ZnO nanoparticles on biomass, carbohydrates, β-glucans, proteins accumulation and catalase enzyme activity at Saccharomyces cerevisiae CNMN-Y-20 yeast strain exposed to alcohol action. Alcohol in concentrations of 2%, 5% and 10% added to culture medium has been reported to stimulate β-glucans biosynthesis and to inhibit protein synthesis. Low biomass production, with 71% less that control, was detected in the experiments with 10% alcohol. ZnO nanoparticles in combination with alcohol do not offer sufficient protection for the proteins biosynthesis, but efficiently protect the carbohydrates and β-glucans biosynthetic processes, which contents in the biomass are with 16.6% and 19.9% higher than control, respectively. The maximum value of β-glucans content was established in case of cultivation of selected yeast strain on YPD medium supplemented with 5 mg/L nanoparticles ZnO and 2% alcohol. The obtained results allowed the elaboration of new procedure for directed synthesis of β-glucans that contributed to an increase of this component with 30.7%, compared to control.

Authors: Awolu Olugbenga Olufemi , Olokunsusi Eunice Yetunde
Published: January 2018

Nutritional quality and functional properties of composite flour consisting amaranth grain, bambara groundnut, carrot and rice bran flours were evaluated. The dependent variables were optimized using optimal mixture model of response surface methodology. Amaranth grain flour (70 – 80.75%), bambara groundnut flour (15-25%), carrot flour (2-5%) and rice bran (2-10%) were the independent variables. From the results, very high protein content (about 40%) was obtained when the bambara content inclusion was 25%. Bambara groundnut flour inclusion up to 15% also resulted in high protein contents (≤ 37%). Supplementation of the composite flour with high carrot flour content (up to 10%) also enhanced the protein content when the bambara groundnut content was low. High carrot flour inclusion had the highest positive effect on the crude fibre content (3.7-3.9%) followed by rice bran and bambara groundnut flours in that order. Bambara groundnut had highest positive effect on the ash content; followed by carrot and rice flours. While amaranth grain, carrot and rice bran significantly (p≤0.05) affect the proximate and functional compositions, bambara groundnut had the highest and best effect on the proximate, functional, mineral properties as well as the amino acid profile of the composite flour.

Published: January 2018

The purpose is to analyze the concentration-response relationship of salt on the rheological properties, cooking characteristic and microstructure of fresh noodle and investigate the influence rules of salt on rheological characteristics, cooking characteristics and microstructure of fresh noodle. The change rules of rheological parameters, cooking characteristics and microstructure were analyzed using the refined wheat flour as the experimental material, adding different proportion of salt (0 up to 5% weight on flour basis), making fresh noodles. Results showed that the dough formation time, stability time, the maximum tensile force and tensile range increased gradually, weakening degree and the best cooking time decreased gradually, in addition, the internal network structure was fine-meshed with the increase of salt content. But the tensile distance began to decline, the network structure became loose and the hole enlarged when adding amount surpassed 3%. Taken together, adding 3% of the salt can improve the quality of fresh noodle. Research conclusions: the right amount of salt can improve the opaque quality index and tensile properties, reduce water absorption and optimum cooking time, enhance the internal network structure; but excessive salt will reduce the tensile properties of noodles and cooking characteristics, black or even destroy the production of internal network structure.

Published: January 2018

In this paper, the quality changes of fresh dumpling wrappers during storage were studied by measuring the changes of microbial growth, color, pH, texture, cooking property, moisture content and distribution of raw dumpling wrappers. The correlation of these indicators was analyzed. The results showed that the dumpling wrappers had generated lots of microorganisms during storage and the pH value decreased gradually. The dumpling wrappers had browning and the color became darker. The texture of the dumpling wrappers changed obviously. The original structure of raw dumpling wrappers were destroyed, the water distribution is uneven and migration to the surface. The apparent index of raw dumpling wrappers has a significant correlation with the internal change, which provides a certain guiding significance for maintaining the good quality of dumpling wrappers.
A Research on the Social Responsibility Efficiency of Chinese Listed Food Companies
Authors: Zhang Weimei
Published: January 2018

On the basis of establishing an input-output index system of listed food companies’ social responsibility, this paper uses the DEA model to assess 22 Chinese listed food companies’ social responsibility efficiency between 2014 and 2016. Results show that the social responsibility efficiency of Chinese listed food companies is generally lower and the average of the 22 companies is only 0.665. The social responsibility management in 81.80% of listed food companies is in a relatively ineffective state. There is a big room for improvement. In addition, the social responsibility efficiencies of listed companies with different sizes are quite different. The social responsibility efficiency of large-sized listed food company is obviously higher than that of the small and medium-sized. The study also shows that the social responsibility efficiencies of most listed food companies are in the stage of increasing returns to scale and more input would be necessary in order to achieve higher efficiency.
