Undoubtedly, natural products with bioactive components such as fruits and berries from the Mediterranean areas are largely appreciated and highly consumed around the world due to their significance as possible novel therapeutical agents, with immense medicinal properties and a possible profound effect on health. According to epidemiological information, there were positive correlations of high consumption of fruits and berries with a low risk of various chronic diseases as these foods are rich sources of nutrients, and energy with a high content of vitamins, minerals, fiber, antioxidants, polyphenols, and numerous other classes of biological active compounds. Apart from the functional role of fruits and berries on health, they may contain components which in turn lead to toxicity on some occasions, inducing mild or severe symptoms (diarrhea, vomiting, paralysis, coma, or even death) that vary based on various factors such as dose, sensitivity of the individual and the way of exposure. Considering the above data, this paper aims to review the recent literature about the biological activities and therapeutic potentials, toxicity, and toxic components of selected Mediterranean fruits and berries, evaluating on the one hand the potential beneficial role of these foods, and on the other hand their possible toxic health effects.
Gypenoside XVII Inhibits High Glucose-Induced Apoptosis and Facilitates Osteogenic Differentiation in MC3T3-E1 Cells
Authors: Zhong Jiao , Wang Lu
Published: September 2021

Osteoporosis is a systemic bone disease characterized by compromised bone strength, which predisposes the individual to an increased risk of fractures of the hip, spine, and other skeletal sites. Gynostemma pentaphyllum (of the family Cucurbitaceae) is known to reduce blood lipid, prevent arteriosclerosis, inhibit oxidation, reduce blood glucose, and regulate immunity. Gypenoside XVII is one of the bioactives in G. pentaphyllum, which inhibits receptor activator of nuclear factor-kappa B ligand-induced osteoclast production. Herein, we show that Gypenoside XVII improves the survival of MC3T3-E1 under high glucose environment. It also inhibits the apoptosis of MC3T3-E1 cells in high glucose environment. In addition, Gypenoside XVII promotes osteogenic differentiation of MC3T3-E1 cells in high glucose environment. Mechanically, we found that Gypenoside XVII inhibited high glucose-induced apoptosis and facilitated osteogenic differentiation via activating the PI3K/AKT pathway. These data suggest that Gypenoside XVII might be a potential therapeutic drug in the treatment of osteoporosis.

The Importance of Physical Fitness Programs for Firefighters
Authors: AL Busafi Majid
Published: September 2021

Physical fitness is a major factor affecting firefighters’ ability to perform under harsh circumstances. This study aimed to investigate the importance of considering a physical fitness program for firefighters and determine whether such a program should be mandated to create a safe and efficient work environment. A survey was conducted to observe the existing fitness program impacts on firefighters’ fitness level, their satisfaction with the program, and their opinion upon mandating the program. The study showed that firefighters’ fitness levels differed significantly depending on whether the firefighters were subjected to a fitness program or not. The majority (73%) of the respondents support mandating a physical fitness program and encouraged such a program to be included in a school degree plan. However, more than half of the participants (57%), evaluated their fitness program as inaccurate. Hence, fitness program components must be thoroughly structured to enhance the program competency. Recommendations from the respondents were focused on facilitating Civil Defense Centers with gyms, proper gymnastic equipment, and professional trainers.

Biopsykososiaalinen lähestymistapa työuupuneiden työntekijöiden työkyvyn tuessa työpaikoilla ja työterveyshuolloissa
Authors: Kärkkäinen Riitta , Saaranen Terhi , Sallinen Merja , Räsänen Kimmo
Published: September 2021

Biopsykososiaalista eli kokonaisvaltaista lähestymistapaa suositetaan kroonistuneiden terveysongelmien hoidossa, mutta työuupumuksen hoidossa siitä tiedetään vähän. Tässä artikkelissa tarkastellaan biopsykososiaalisen lähestymistavan ilmenemistä työpaikoilla ja työterveyshuolloissa työuupuneiden työkyvyn tuessa painottaen tukea vaikeuttavia tekijöitä. Aineisto koostuu sairauspoissaolojen hallintaan ja työhön paluun tukeen osallistuvien ammatti­laisten haastatteluista ja kirjoitelmista yliopistoissa ja keskussairaaloissa (n = 15) sekä työterveyshuolloissa (n = 25). Aineistot kerättiin vuosina 2014–2017 ja analysoitiin laadullisesti. Työpaikkojen ja työterveyshuoltojen käytännöt työuupuneiden tuessa ulottuivat vaihtelevasti yksilöön, työoloihin ja työuupumukseen ilmiönä. Tukea vaikeuttivat: 1) yksilöön liittyvistä tekijöistä työuupumukselle altistava persoonallisuus, yksityiselämän stressitekijät ja avoimuuden puute työuupumuksesta ja sen syistä, 2) työoloista esimiehen tuen tarve, esimiehen tuen käänteisesti puskuroiva vaikutus, työyhteisön ilmapiiriongelmat, keinojen puute työyhteisön tukemiseen työterveyshuollossa ja moniammatillisen yhteistyön jäsentymättömyys työterveyshuollossa sekä 3) työuupumukseen liittyvistä tekijöistä työuupumuksen määrittelemättömyys, työuupumuksen työperäisyyden kyseenalaistaminen, ominaispiirteet, liitän­näissairaudet ja toipumisen ennakoimattomuus. Johtopäätöksenä on, että biopsykososiaalinen lähestymistapa ei aina toteudu työuupuneiden tuessa.

Iron nanoparticles (FeNP) present excellent magnetic properties and chemical stability, and for this reason, they are often configured into materials for a variety of potential uses in medical, biotechnological, and other applications. In this work, iron oxide nanoparticles functionalized with galactomannan (FeNP/Gal) from Caesalpinia pulcherrima were synthesized and submitted to characterization and evaluation of the cytotoxic activity. The functionalized nanoparticles were synthesized by co-precipitation and subjected to a process of surface modification with galactomannan and epichlorohydrin. These nanomaterials were characterized using infrared spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction (XRD), thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), differential thermogravimetric analysis (DTA), and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). 1D and 2D nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy were also used in the structural analysis of the galactomannan. In addition, in vitro study was carried out to evaluate the cytotoxic activity of the FeNP/Gal nanoparticles on human cells of the HEK-293 strain (ATCC® CRL-1573). The FeNP/Gal nanoparticles had an average diameter of 13 ± 2 nm as opposed to 11 ± 2 nm for unreacted FeNP. The infrared spectrum of the FeNP/Gal nanoparticles presents characteristic absorbance bands of their chemical constituents, confirming that the iron oxide nanoparticles were functionalized with galactomannan. The cytotoxicity assay for the FeNP/Gal nanoparticles did not show significant cytotoxicity against HEK 293-Human embryonic kidney cell lines below 800 µg/mL However, this study points out the possibility of using hemicellulose and other plant-based polysaccharides to produce nanostructured materials for ​​tissue engineering and other biomedical applications.

Authors: Dutra Lauren M. , Farrelly Matthew C. , Bradfield Brian , Ridenhour Jamie , Guillory Jamie
Published: September 2021

Cannabis legalization has spread rapidly in the United States. Although national surveys provide robust information on the prevalence of cannabis use, cannabis disorders, and related outcomes, information on knowledge, attitudes, and beliefs (KABs) about cannabis is lacking. To inform the relationship between cannabis legalization and cannabis-related KABs, RTI International launched the National Cannabis Climate Survey (NCCS) in 2016. The survey sampled US residents 18 years or older via mail (n = 2,102), mail-to-web (n = 1,046), and two social media data collections (n = 11,957). This report outlines two techniques that we used to problem-solve several challenges with the resulting data: (1) developing a model for detecting fraudulent cases in social media completes after standard fraud detection measures were insufficient and (2) designing a weighting scheme to pool multiple probability and nonprobability samples. We also describe our approach for validating the pooled dataset. The fraud prevention and detection processes, predictive model of fraud, and the methods used to weight the probability and nonprobability samples can be applied to current and future complex data collections and analysis of existing datasets.

This chapter examines how, for the October 1991 launch, Disaster Action published a pamphlet setting out the organisation's origins and purpose. The descriptions of the disasters are stark, a shocking reminder of the human consequences that lie behind the bare facts. The issues common to all of them — a lack of responsibility and little understanding of the needs and priorities of those directly affected — gave rise to the three principle objectives — accountability, support, prevention — that continue to underpin the charity's activities. The words in the pamphlet were written only a short time after the disasters of the 1980s. They capture a moment in time in the history of the organisation, when the experiences were still raw and fresh in the minds of those affected. Disaster Action members were not prepared to accept the lack of resolution common to their experiences, however different the disasters had been in their cause and origin. How they set about translating these desperate moments in time into societal change truly began to evolve over the decade that was to follow, the 1990s.
New Millennium, New Dimensions – Responding to Further Disasters
Authors: Eyre Anne , Dix Pam
Published: September 2021

This chapter explores how, as new members joined Disaster Action, they brought with them different experiences. While these were inevitably devastating, sometimes aspects of these experiences reflected the difference Disaster Action had been able to make. There were instances when individuals and families were referred directly and quickly to Disaster Action, giving them the opportunity to make contact early on with people who could offer valuable information, support, and guidance. The chapter then considers the September 11 attacks in 2001; the Bali bombings in 2002; the 2004 terrorist attacks in Al Khobar, Saudi Arabia; the Indian Ocean tsunami in 2004; the London bombings in 2005; the Sharm El Sheikh bombings in 2005; and the North Sea helicopter crashes in 2009 and 2013. Disasters do not happen every day or week in the UK and yet there is always work to be done, keeping Disaster Action members busy, particularly at the office and within their informal and internal networks. This includes supporting each other and other individuals who may contact them for support at significant times such as anniversaries or when personal experiences and emotions are triggered through new disasters.
Looking Back and Looking Forward – Significant Anniversaries
Authors: Eyre Anne , Dix Pam
Published: September 2021

This chapter reflects on the importance of remembering and commemorating disasters. For all affected by these tragic events, significant anniversaries are in part about reconciling and assimilating the past into their everyday lives. For some, the passage of time means that the tenth, twentieth, and twenty-fifth anniversaries can represent an opportunity to look forward; for others, personal loss and the fact that fundamental questions about these events remain unanswered and unaddressed mean that notions such as 'moving on' or 'letting go' are simplistic and unhelpful. The challenge for those organising and conducting commemorative events after collective tragedy is to ensure that moving on does not mean moving away from the connection with the tragedy. Commemorations need to be inclusive in order to avoid individual survivors or bereaved, or the wider community, feeling that their loss and experience are somehow lesser, or not recognised; the whole point of commemoration is to feel validated. When thoughtfully considered, the way in which permanent memorials and memorial services are designed and conducted can embrace the sense of remembering the unique character and loss of individuals within the collective experience of disaster.
The View from the Kitchen: Women’s ‘Official’ Life in the Family
Authors: Taylor-Guthartz Lindsey
Published: September 2021

This chapter covers official domestic practices. Orthodox Judaism is firmly rooted in the world of everyday action: several central commandments and their halakhic elaboration include activities such as the preparation and consumption of food, the observance of the weekly sabbath and numerous festivals, dress, education, and the recital of blessings before and after eating and in other daily contexts. The home is explicitly designated as a sacred sphere, to a greater extent than in Christian and general British culture. The conception, nurturing, and education of children are often seen as central to the Jewish woman's role, even though no formal commandments are entailed. Most Orthodox women see their domestic role in very different, more nuanced, and complex terms, viewing it as central to their identity and to Jewish continuity, but not as the only sphere in which they should be active religiously. Many of them, particularly the Modern Orthodox, have indeed internalized feminist arguments and seek to extend their religious lives outside the boundaries of the home, and to take a more active religious role within it, but they all share the conviction that the creation of a Jewish home and the raising of children to be good human beings and faithful Jews is a task of vital importance.
Conclusion
Authors: Taylor-Guthartz Lindsey
Published: September 2021

This chapter presents the conclusions of the research and its wider implications for the study of Orthodox Jewish women. The study suggests that three subgroups — haredi, Modern Orthodox, and traditionalist — exist, and that different patterns of belief, practice, and world-view characterize each group. Individual women from the American and Israeli Orthodox spheres, and British women who have spent significant periods of time in either country, form a disproportionately high percentage of those advocating change and greater participation for Orthodox women in the UK. Haredi women generally adhere to well-defined ideologies that reject Western liberal influences. In contrast, Modern Orthodox women have responded positively to Western feminist influences. They seek a compromise between shifting gender roles in Western culture and halakhic restrictions on women's ritual performance, rather than full egalitarianism. They tend to expect both greater male participation in the non-ritual aspects of the domestic sphere and greater female participation in the ritual aspects of the public sphere. Modern Orthodox women are also the most vocal in expressing dissatisfaction with the current status of and opportunities for Orthodox women, and often actively seek change. Many women believe that their role is actually more important than that of men. Women preserve a surprisingly wide spectrum of traditional customs and beliefs, many tolerated rather than approved of or promoted by the religious establishment, and most linked to the protection of their families. They show remarkable commitment to continuing these practices, even when these are labelled as 'superstitions' or are devalued by some religious authorities.
Black Runaways in Eighteenth-Century Britain
Authors: Mullen Stephen , Mundell Nelson , Newman Simon P.
Published: September 2021

Co-authored by Stephen Mullen, Nelson Mundell and Simon P. Newman, this chapter uses the story of Jamie Montgomery, an enslaved runaway in Scotland, to illustrate the presence and predicament of escaped slaves in Britain during the eighteenth century, the majority of whom were male and either children or young adults (often trusted domestic servants). The authors draw upon the frequency of ‘for sale’ and escaped slave notices in newspapers to help document the routineness of slave trafficking within Britain from both the colonies and directly from Africa. They outline the life of Montgomery who was sold in Virginia to a Scottish merchant and sent to Scotland to apprentice as a joiner with an eye toward future resale at a profit. Several years later, after a taste of free life as a skilled carpenter and church member, he escaped while in the process of being forcibly returned to America. Montgomery was captured with the help of an escaped slave newspaper ad and died in jail. Like many young slaves separated from family and a black community and sent to work in the British Isles, the authors explain that relief from harsh plantation life and a chance at greater economic and political opportunities was tempered by the constant threat that they could easily be returned.
Within the Same Household: Fanny Coker
Authors: Eickelmann Christine
Published: September 2021

Fanny Coker is the focus of this chapter by Christine Eickelmann. She represents a group of women whose stories have been mostly lost to British history—plantation-born domestic servants. Eickelmann outlines what we know of Fanny’s timeline: Born on the Mountravers sugar plantation on Nevis to an enslaved black woman and, likely, the white plantation manager, Fanny spent her adult life in England working for the family of Mountravers’ owner, John Pinney who freed and educated her. Settling in Bristol with the Pinneys, Fanny was separated from family and the plantation community and left to navigate a new country and employer dynamics on her own. Choosing to stay with the Pinneys her whole life, Eickelman describes how she maintained connections to family in the West Indies through letters, gifts and one extended visit, and was part of a larger network of information and economic exchange across the Atlantic. Operating under the strictures of her employer as a lady’s maid under annual contract, she managed to be baptized in the Baptist church, build financial security through investments and an inheritance and, unlike most of her plantation counterparts, realize some agency over shaping her life. Learning about Coker’s life, says Eickelmann, is an important window into the stories of black servants, especially women, in Georgian England.
Staging Sancho
Authors: Joseph Paterson
Published: September 2021

In this chapter Paterson Joseph describes the genesis and evolution of Sancho—An Act of Remembrance, a play he wrote and performed about the life of Charles Ignatius Sancho. Sancho fulfilled the author’s desire to perform in a costume drama and bring awareness to black contributions to Britain. Developed as a monologue, the play conveys the extraordinariness of Sancho who was a musician, writer, actor, valet to the duke of Montagu, grocer, and was the first Afro-Briton to vote in a parliamentary election. Joseph recounts some of the challenges of bringing the play to the stage as well as the contributions of musicians, producers, choreographers, costumers, and lighting and set designers. He describes the audience reaction to the play revealed in post-show question and answer sessions which helped him see modern parallels with the political disenfranchisement of blacks in the US. Joseph positions Sancho as not only bringing awareness to the life of one remarkable black man, but helping break the monotone view of British historical drama and expanding our understanding of black lives of the past.
Julius Soubise in India
Authors: Cohen Ashley L.
Published: September 2021

In this chapter Ashley L. Cohen brings to light new research on Julius Soubise’s life in India after his fall from grace from fashionable London society. Born enslaved in St Kitts, he was freed and raised in England as a pseudo-aristocrat by the duke and duchess of Queensberry. Well-known as a “black dandy,” and with a reputation as a womanizer and spendthrift, he was portrayed in satirical prints, caricatures and on stage before finally being outcast after a rape allegation and forced to flee to India. Little was known about his life there until Peter Robb’s extensive work on the eighty-volume manuscript diary of Calcutta-based surveyor and architect Richard Blechynden, Soubise’s on-and-off again friend and business partner, was able to fill in some of the gaps of his life there. Cohen extracts the details about Soubise—his contented marriage to Catherine Pawson, a white woman, his business failings and constant appeals for credit, the racism he faced and, finally, his death from a fall from a horse—from Blechnyden’s lengthy diaries.
Ira Aldridge in the North of England: Provincial Theatre and the Politics of Abolition
Authors: Saxon Theresa
Published: September 2021

African American actor Ira Aldridge, who toured widely across Britain, Scotland, Ireland, and Europe and is the first known black performer to play Othello in England, is the focus of this chapter by Theresa Saxon. She focuses on the critical reception of his work in London and in provincial theatres in the North West and how newspaper reviews of his performances reflected regional attitudes toward racial identities and debates about enslavement. Saxon describes how theatres, in addition to the Church and the press, were one of the central loci of the dramatization of arguments over the slave trade and abolition of slavery. Aldridge’s reviews in London papers, where his characters were almost always enslaved, were largely racist and even his defenders’ reviews were through the lens of race. In contrast, his reception in the regional patent theatres of Manchester, Liverpool and Lancaster, centers of abolitionist activity, were typically positive and lauded. Although there does not seem to have been direct association between Aldridge and abolitionist figures, much of the critical praise he received smacked with the rhetoric of abolitionism as it focused on his skill and intellect to illustrate the wrongs of pro-slavery arguments of racial hierarchies.
