Smoked clam (etak salai) is a popular traditional food and part of the intangible cultural heritage (ICH) of Kelantan state. The main objective of this study is to seek a path for its safeguarding. For this purpose, the sustainability of etak salai will be examined from economic and ecological viewpoints. Some Kelantanese fishing households inherit knowledge with regard to the harvesting and processing of etak (clams), and run micro-enterprises as vendors. Increasing the profitability of these micro-enterprises is a crucial factor for safeguarding etak salai. Through quantitative analysis based on Hayashi’s quantification theory type 2, this study determines that the profitability of these micro-enterprises chiefly depends on the initial investment amount. It also finds that inheritance of micro-enterprises without enhancement of profitability results in the reproduction of low-income households. Ecological factors also determine the sustainability of etak salai. The study reveals that deterioration of the local ecosystem has triggered continuous transition of the mode of production of etak salai. Commercial production of etak salai began only after the majority of community members moved away from the rivers. After severe degradation of local rivers, harvesters expanded the geographic scope of their activity to other states of Peninsular Malaysia. Currently, Thailand and Cambodia account for a majority of the supplies. These transformations have decreased the number of households that are able to transmit knowledge regarding the harvesting and processing of etak. This is a grave concern in terms of safeguarding ICH. Thus, the study concludes that injecting capital to vendors and restoring the local ecosystem could be useful measures for safeguarding ICH.

In a university system, the key to identifying and rewarding excellence is through academic promotion to professorship. However, research on the characteristics of professors as excellent academic leaders and how they enact leadership activities is very limited. The main issues include unclear definition of excellent professors and in-depth research on the notion and concept of academic leadership. Thus, this study aims to explore the elements of excellence among senior professors in the Malaysian public universities by identifying the strengths and weaknesses of their leadership contributions. Based on a qualitative study and using a document analysis approach on curriculum vitae, ten senior professors holding VK 5 post (Grade A) were selected as respondents using purposive sampling method. They represented the four types of public universities namely research, comprehensive, technical and focused. The findings revealed that in general, the senior professors’ excellent contribution is unbalanced and skewed towards elements related to teaching, research and management. The senior professors reported less contribution involving professional development and public intellectual activities. The findings also showed that they contributed excessively to activities within their own university ecosystem, but less on activities outside their university, and at the regional and international levels. The findings point to several implications for academic leadership theories, policy development, and the status and relevance of the academic profession in Malaysia.
Nasionalisme dan Perubahan Polisi Tuntutan Filipina ke atas Sabah Daripada Irredentisme Kepada Tuntutan Dorman, 1962–1998
Authors:   History Section, School of Distance Education, Universiti Sains Malaysia, Pulau Pinang, Malaysia, Kadir Norizan
Published: November 2022

The policy of the Philippines’ claim to Sabah is significantly influenced by the development of the Philippines’ internal politics and the ideology supported by its presidents. During the regimes of President Macapagal and President Marcos, the Philippines’ foreign policy towards Sabah was fundamentally influenced by the irredentism policy in order to claim that region. The claim over Sabah became the Philippines’ national agenda that was previously confined to the territorial issue of the Sulu Sultanate. The changes that transpired in the people’s struggle, especially since the administrations of Corazon Aquino and Fidel V. Ramos, have brought to life the new idea that true nationalism is based on the “people’s interests” as expressed in the People’s Power Revolution. Both presidents later changed the Philippines’ policy towards Sabah to a dormant claim after all efforts made to drop the claim to Sabah met with failure. Thus, this article aims to assess the continuity and changes of the Philippine claim policy on Sabah and the impact of the idea of nationalism on the formation of the policy since the administration of President Macapagal until that of President Fidel V. Ramos.
A simulation–optimization framework for reducing thermal pollution downstream of reservoirs
Authors: Sedighkia Mahdi , Datta Bithin , Razavi Saman
Published: November 2022

Thermal pollution is an environmental impact of large dams altering the natural temperature regime of downstream river ecosystems. The present study proposes a simulation–optimization framework to reduce thermal pollution downstream from reservoirs and tests it on a real-world case study. This framework attempts to simultaneously minimize the environmental impacts as well as losses to reservoir objectives for water supply. A hybrid machine-learning model is applied to simulate water temperature downstream of the reservoir under various operation scenarios. This model is shown to be robust and achieves acceptable predictive accuracy. The results of simulation–optimization indicate that the reservoir could be operated in such a way that the natural temperature regime is reasonably preserved to protect downstream habitats. Doing so, however, would result in significant trade-offs for reservoir storage and water supply objectives. Such trade-offs can undermine the benefits of reservoirs and need to be carefully considered in reservoir design and operation.

Published: November 2022

This study examined the effects of land-use changes on heavy metal pollution in runoff in a catchment of Tehran, Iran. Urban runoff samples were collected from six stations, including five various land uses and mixed land uses. The event mean concentration (EMC) was applied to determine heavy metals, including mercury (Hg), arsenic (As), cadmium (Cd), zinc (Zn), lead (Pb), and copper (Cu), in five land uses. Sampling was done during six events with different antecedent dry days (ADDs) during 2019–2020. The result revealed higher heavy metal concentrations in runoff in the industrial land use compared to other land-use types in the catchment. The calculated EMC rates were as follows: EMC Zn > EMC Pb > EMC Cu > EM As > EMC Hg > EMC Cd. This study also found that the maximum and minimum EMCs of heavy metals were associated with rainfall events with 115 and 1 dry days, respectively. In comparison to other heavy metals, mercury and arsenic were at a higher level in runoff as determined by EMC data analysis. In order to minimize the risk of heavy metal contamination of runoff, the relocation of industrial land uses from urban environments to non-urban areas is recommended.

Effects of Trunk Functional Capacity on the Control of Angular Momentum During Manual Wheelchair Braking
Authors: Garner Tyler Douglas , Ricard Mark Donald
Published: November 2022

Background:

Manual wheelchair braking induces an upper body angular impulse which must be controlled by joint moments to prevent a forward fall.

Objective:

The purpose of this study was to determine the effects of trunk functional capacity (low, high) on the rate of change in sagittal plane upper body angular momentum during manual wheelchair braking.

Methods:

Eight wheelchair users (4 low function, 4 high function) completed 10 trials of abrupt wheelchair braking. Trunk segment angles and abdominal joint angles, and normalized upper-body angular impulses were computed for each trial. Linear mixed effects models with initial velocity as a covariate were used to determine differences between groups.

Results:

The low function group had a higher angular impulse than the high function group with a mean difference (MD) ± SE of 1.59 ± 0.65 N∙m∙s/kg/m2, with a 95% CI 0.287 to 2.89, p = 0.018. The low function group also had a higher trunk segment extension angle, MD = –13.98 degrees, 95% CI: –26.27 to –1.69, p = .027. The low function group employed a greater trunk segment range of motion during braking when compared to the high function group, MD = 12.14 degrees, 95% CI: –24.48 to 0.21, p = 0.054. Lower trunk functional capacity wheelchair users had a higher fall risk during braking.

Conclusion:

Wheelchair users with less trunk function may be at increased risk of suffering a fall when bringing their wheelchair to an abrupt stop due to an impaired ability to arrest angular momentum.

Glabrous canaryseed, a novel cereal grain, is emerging as a valuable source of plant proteins due to its high content in protein (22%). This true cereal was approved for human consumption in Canada and the United States, and as part of the regulatory safety assessment, its allergenic potential was evaluated. Canaryseed was found to be gluten-free and thus, suitable for individuals with celiac disease, however, possible allergic cross-reactivity between canaryseed and wheat was also revealed. Based on these findings, a cautionary labelling alluding to the potential of allergic reaction is requested on canaryseed food products, and further research to clarify the relationship between canary seed proteins and known wheat allergens was recommended. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to further assess the immunological cross-reactivity risks of canary seed to phylogenetically related grains, including  wheat and oat, using wheat-allergic sera IgE based  1D and 2D- immunoblots and ELISA, followed by proteomic/bioinformatics identification of IgE-binding proteins. The results demonstrated extensive serological cross-reactivity between wheat, oat and canaryseed proteins, where the less abundant protein fractions showed the strongest IgE-binding. The in-gel tryptic digestion and LC-MS/MS identification of the IgE-binding canaryseed proteins showed high homology to proteins from wheat, barley, oat and Brachypodium distachyon (also known as stiff brome), which all belong to the Pooideae botanical subfamily. A majority of the IgE-binding proteins were mostly minor metabolic enzymes or uncharacterized proteins. Low sequence homology was observed for the 11-12S globulin storage proteins. Positive serological testing cannot ascertain allergic reaction to canaryseed, it does not rule out, however, the risks for wheat, oat or barley sensitized atopic population. Clinical oral food challenge remains the ultimate tool to conclude on the allergenicity of canaryseed. Until then, these data serve the reinforcement of the regulatory requirement to use allergen precautionary labeling for products containing canaryseed proteins.

Processed meat, such as burgers are rich in animal fat which contribute significantly towards many structural and sensory properties. In this work, hybrid beef burger was developed by replacing the animal fat with fababean protein-stabilized O/W emulsions. To create a stable structured emulsions 80wt% coconut oil (CNO) was mixed with canola oil (CO). The molten oil phase (50wt%) was emulsified with 10wt% fababean protein concentrate dispersion in an industrial food processor. The hot emulsion was cooled in an ice bath while constant mixing until the temperature reached 10ºC and the emulsion transformed into a strong viscoelastic gel. The emulsion was then mixed with lean beef meat and in a bowl chopper and a grinder at 4ºC to prepare the ground meat, which was then used to prepare the burger patties using a patty maker. The animal fat control burgers contained 20% beef fat, which was fully replaced with the emulsions. A reduced beef fat burger was also made with fat content similar to the hybrid burger. The hardness of the CNO emulsion hybrid burgers were lower than the control full-fat and reduced-fat burgers, but they were significantly better than the 100% CO emulsion burger, indicating the importance of structured fat on burger structure. Interestingly, both the CNO and CO emulsion hybrid burgers showed the highest cook yield compared to the control burgers. The Warner-Bratzler shear force values of the hybrid CNO burgers were lower than the full-fat control burger, while they were similar to the reduced-fat burgers. No difference in external and interior color and size of the cooked burgers were observed among the various treatments indicating the success in replacing animal fat from beef burgers with plant protein based CNO emulsion. Such novel product could not only reduce fat but also improve the lipid profile of meat.
Fabrication of strong heat-induced protein gels by combing soluble pea protein aggregates and Îº-carrageenan
Authors:   University of Alberta, Cai Wenhao , Chen Lingyun ,   University of Alberta
Published: November 2022

Pea protein has attracted attentions as an alternative for soy protein, but its weaker gelling properties have limited applications in food formulations. In this study, heat induced soluble pea protein aggregates were prepared in the first step, followed by the heat induced gelation of the soluble pea protein aggregates in the presence of small amount of Îº-carrageenan. The mechanical property measurement indicated that the complex gel strength can be modulated by modifying the pea protein aggregate properties to achieve compressive strength up to 14.15 kPa. In addition, such strong gels were achieved at relatively low concentration of protein (7.5%) and Îº-carrageenan (0.5%), thus are advantageous for practical applications. The surface hydrophobicity, transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and FTIR characterizations suggest that pea protein particulate aggregates with hydrophobic patches on surface can serve as the active building blocks to establish a homogenous three-dimensional network of highly crosslinked structures with small pore size, thus leading to gels of superior mechanical strength when compared to gels prepared from pea protein isolate with Îº-carrageenan. This research has provided a novel approach for structuring and texturization of plant protein based foods by using protein aggregates and contributed to the understanding of mechanism of gel formation from pea protein aggregates in the presence of Îº-carrageenan.
Study on the application of surfactin for enhanced oil recovery

Published: November 2022

Surfactin is an anionic bio-surfactant produced by Bacillus subtilis. Although it has high capacity to decrease interfacial tension between oil and water and improve oil recovery, it has not been used for enhanced oil recovery because it forms precipitation by binding with divalent cations such as calcium ions which are contained in formation water. This study examined the countermeasure to prevent surfactin from forming the precipitation for applying it to enhanced oil recovery. Alcohols, chelating agents, a cationic surfactant and an ion capturing substance were selected as the candidates for inhibiting surfactin from forming the precipitation. Citric acid and trisodium citrate were selected as promising candidates through the measurements of turbidity of the mixture of the candidate, surfactin and calcium ions. Those chemicals also had a function as a co-surfactant for surfactin. The interfacial tension between crude oil and the mixture of citric acid or trisodium citrate (0.6 %) and surfactin (0.3 %) was decreased to 0.1 mN/m, whereas that between crude oil and 0.3 % of surfactin was 3.5 mN/m (see Figure 1). The permeability of a sandstone core into which the solution containing surfactin and trisodium citrate was injected was decreased significantly, whereas citric acid could be injected into the core without significant permeability reduction. Citric acid was therefore selected as the best inhibitor and subjected to the core flooding experiments. 25 % of oil remaining after the primary oil recovery was additionally recovered by the injection of the mixture of surfactin and citric acid after the primary oil recovery (see Figure 2). Moreover, the pressure drop was not increased during the injection of the mixture of surfactin and citric acid. Those results suggest that citric acid has a dual role as the binding inhibitor and co-surfactant for surfactin.
Amelioration of high fat diet-induced obesity in rat by short chain pyroglutamyl peptides in Japanese salted fermented soy paste (miso)
Authors:   Kyoto University, Sato Kenji
Published: November 2022

Japanese salted fermented soybean paste (miso) is used as seasonings for traditional Japanese dishes. These products still play important roles in the modern dietary habits of Japanese, while consumption of these products has decreased approximately to 30-50% of consumption since 1975. Miso is produced by a fungi (Aspergillus oryzae) starter, referred to koji. A. oryzae produces a strong protease including both endoproteinases and exopeptidases. Thus, these products contain short chain peptides in addition to free amino acids. However, little was known of their structure and biological functions due to difficulty in isolation. In the present study, pyroglutamyl peptides present in miso were identified by a liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS), detecting precursor ions, which generated immonium ion of pyroglutamyl residue (m/z 84). By using this method, 13 pyroglutamyl peptides were identified in four types of miso. Administration of the water extract prepared from 0.6 g soybean miso/kg body weight/day significantly suppressed high fat diet-induced obesity. A similar effect was exerted by the hydrophobic pyroglutamyl peptide fraction, including pyroglutamyl proline (pEP), pEV, pEI, and pEL. Administration of a mixture of synthetic pEP, pEV, pEI, and pEL in a ratio to that in miso or pEL alone also suppressed the weight gain in a dose dependent manner. It has been demonstrated that high fat diet-induced small intestinal dysbiosis plays critical role in inducing obesity. pEL has been demonstrated to attenuate high fat diet-induced dysbiosis via enhancing secretion of host antimicrobial peptide into lumen. These results suggest that the short-chain hydrophobic pyroglutamyl peptides present in miso are effective in suppressing high fat diet-induced obesity via normalizing dysbiosis.
Application of the HLD Framework to Agricultural Applications - Emulsion Concentrates
Authors:   BASF, Lyon Matthew
Published: November 2022

Emulsion concentrates are class of products used in crop protection. These are often three component systems which are applied to crops to protect from insects and fungus. At a minimum, emulsion concentrates contain a surfactant, solvent, and active ingredient. To use, the concentrate is diluted into a water tank where it then must spontaneously emulsify and maintain stability for spray application. Application of the HLD model was successfully performed for this system. The effect of HLD on particle size, and therefore stability was determined. The effect of active ingredients on the EACN of the system was also qualitatively shown.

Published: November 2022

Vegetable oil-based oil-in-water emulsions have been evaluated for their potential application as metalworking fluids. A variety of vegetable oils, including chemically modified vegetable oils, are used in this study.  Additionally, several surfactants including both commercial and lab synthesized were tested. They had HLB values ranging from 9-13.1 and were evaluated for their ability to obtain emulsions suitable enough for lubrication applications.  The epoxidized oils were found to form stable oil-in-water emulsions using several different surfactant systems. It was found that surfactants with an HLB value slightly over 9 work well with vegetable oils to form stable emulsions.   The lubricant performance of these emulsions, studied using the 4-ball test method, showed that even 1% emulsions of the vegetable oils are effective lubricants.
Sucralose Hydrogels: Peering into the Reactivity of Sucralose versus Sucrose Using Lipase Catalyzed Trans-Esterification

Sucralose differs from sucrose only by virtue of having three Cl groups instead of OH groups. Its intriguing features include being noncaloric, noncariogenic, 600 times sweeter than sucrose, stable at high temperatures/acidic pH's, and void of disagreeable aftertastes. These properties are attractive as food additive, one of which is as hydrogel obtainable via the technique of molecular gelation using a sucralose-derived low-molecular weight gelator (LMWG). The process of molecular gelation entails using specially designed lipid-like amphiphilic molecules capable of self-assembling in a liquid solvent to form a 3D-network. A rational molecular design would involve appending lipophilic alkyl chain to sucralose to afford sucralose-based amphiphiles. Our preliminary study has shown that sucralose, unlike sucrose, is unreactive under biocatalytic conditions using lipase enzyme, which is consistent with its reported lack of reactivity by hydrolytic enzymes in the body. Hence, the aim of this work was (i) to use computation and simulations to further understand sucralose's lack of enzymatic reactivity and (ii) to synthesize the sucralose-based amphiphiles using conventional chemical synthesis and systematically study their tendency towards hydrogelation. Three of the sucralose-based amphiphiles (SL-5, SL-6 and SL-7) proved to be successful hydrogelators. The gelators also showed the ability to gel selected beverages. The LMWGs gelled quantities of water and beverage up to 71 and 55 times their weight, respectively, and remain thermally stable up to 144 °C.

Hegemonía y aliados periféricos
Authors: Urueña-Sánchez Mario , Dermer-Wodnicky Miriam
Published: November 2022

Este artículo busca comprender cómo se manifiesta la hegemonía cuando una potencia, con el fin de buscar su propia seguridad, recurre a estrategias distintas en tres momentos diferentes para conjurar las amenazas que erosionan la seguridad de un aliado periférico. Para ello se estudian las lógicas globales, estatales y sociales en tres alianzas entre Estados Unidos y Colombia, y se analizan las dimensiones de la hegemonía que se ponen a prueba en estos planes. Se trata de un análisis comparativo desde un método cualitativo en el que se privilegian las fuentes documentales. Se concluye que el proceso de toma de decisión de las élites políticas estadounidenses respecto a sus intervenciones ha tenido mayor consideración de los constreñimientos sistémicos que de la especificidad de los contextos intervenidos.

Metode yang digunakan adalah metode sejarah. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa Sintren berkembang di pesisir utara Jawa serta Jawa Tengah sebelah barat dan Jawa Barat sebelah timur, termasuk di dalamnya Babakan. Fungsi sintren dari masa ke masa terus berubah. Hal ini dipengaruhi oleh beberapa factor, yaitu faktor agama (budaya), politik, dan ekonomi. Pada awalnya Sintren merupakan sarana ritual yang sakral. Ketika Islam dating, Sintren berubah menjadi sarana hiburan yang mengandung pesan moral sebagai media dakwah. Pada masa kolonial Sintren tetap sebagai sarana hiburan, tetapi berfungsi sebagai media politik perlawanan terhadap pemerintah kolonial. Hingga saat ini Sintren masih tetap sebagai hiburan, namun sudah dipengaruhi oleh faktor ekonomi demi Sintren tetap disukai masyarakat. Maka, pertunjukan Sintren dimodifikasi dengan lagu-lagu modern, seperti dangdut dan Melayu.Kata Kunci: sintren, babakan, penyebaran, fungsi, historis AbstractThis paper aims to describe the performing arts of Sintren in Babakan Cirebon related to its distribution and changes in its function from a historical perspective. The method used is the historical method. The results showed that Sintren developed on the north coast of Java and Central Java in the west and West Java in the east, including Babakan. Sintren function from time to time continues to change. This is influenced by several factors, namely religious (cultural), political, and economic factors. At first, Sintren was a sacred ritual tool. When Islam came, Sintren turned into a means of entertainment that contained a moral message as a medium of da'wah. During the colonial period, Sintren remained as a means of entertainment, but functioned as a political medium of resistance to the colonial government. Until now, Sintren still remains as entertainment, but has been influenced by economic factors so that Sintren is still liked by the community. So, the Sintren performance was modified with modern songs, such as dangdut and Malay. Keywords: sintren, babakan, spread, function, historical

Background

Collaboration with other professions is essential in health care education to prepare students for future clinical teamwork. However, health care education still struggles to incorporate interprofessional education. Distance learning and virtual patients (VPs) may be useful additional methods to increase students’ possibilities for interprofessional learning.

Objective

This study had two aims. The first was to assess if an interprofessional VP case could facilitate medical students’ learning about team collaboration in online groups. The second was to assess how students experienced learning with the VP when remotely connected with their group.

Methods

A mixed methods design was used. The VP case was a 73-year-old man who needed help from different health professions in his home after a hip fracture. Questionnaires were answered by the students before and directly after each session. Qualitative group interviews were performed with each group of students directly after the VP sessions, and the interviews were analyzed using qualitative content analysis.

Results

A total of 49 third-year medical students divided into 15 groups participated in the study. Each group had 2 to 5 students who worked together with the interprofessional VP without a teacher’s guidance. In the analysis of the group interviews, a single theme was identified: the interprofessional VP promoted student interaction and gave insight into team collaboration. Two categories were found: (1) the structure of the VP facilitated students’ learning and (2) students perceived the collaboration in their remotely connected groups as functioning well and being effective. The results from the questionnaires showed that the students had gained insights into the roles and competencies of other health care professions.

Conclusions

This study demonstrates that an interprofessional VP enabled insights into team collaboration and increased understanding of other professions among student groups comprising only medical students. The interprofessional VP seemed to benefit students’ learning in an online, remote-learning context. Although our VP was not used as an interprofessional student activity according to the common definition of interprofessional education, the results imply that it still contributed to students’ interprofessional learning.
Facebook Experiences of Users With Traumatic Brain Injury: A Think-Aloud Study

Published: November 2022

Background

A critical gap in our knowledge about social media is whether we can alleviate accessibility barriers and challenges for individuals with traumatic brain injury (TBI), to improve their social participation and health. To do this, we need real-time information about these barriers and challenges, to design appropriate aids.

Objective

The aim of this study was to characterize the ways people with TBI accessed and used social media websites and understand unique challenges they faced.

Methods

We invited 8 adults with moderate to severe TBI to log onto their own Facebook page and use it as they regularly would while thinking aloud. Their comments were recorded and transcribed for qualitative analysis. We first analyzed participants’ utterances using a priori coding based on a framework proposed by Meshi et al to classify adults’ motives for accessing social media. We next used an open coding method to understand the challenges that people with TBI faced while using Facebook. In other words, we analyzed participants’ needs for using Facebook and then identified Facebook features that made it challenging for them to meet those needs.

Results

Participants used all categories of codes in the framework by Meshi et al and provided detailed feedback about the Facebook user interface. A priori coding revealed 2 dimensions that characterized participants’ Facebook use: whether they were active or passive about posting and self-disclosure on Facebook and their familiarity and fluency in using Facebook. The open coding analysis revealed 6 types of challenges reported by participants with TBI, including difficulty with language production and interpretation, attention and information overload, perceptions of negativity and emotional contagion, insufficient guidance to use Facebook, concerns about web-based scams and frauds, and general accessibility concerns.

Conclusions

Results showed that individuals with TBI used Facebook for the same reasons typical adults do, suggesting that it can help increase social communication and reduce isolation and loneliness. Participants also identified barriers, and we propose modifications that could improve access for individuals with brain injury. On the basis of identified functions and challenges, we conclude by proposing design ideas for social media support tools that can promote more active use of social media sites by adults with TBI.
