Authors: Harmayani Eni , Geraldo Nasser Farid , Murdiati Agnes
Published: March 2022

The meal from peanut oil-extraction may be valorized as snacks for human food. In Benin, West Africa, this peanut meal is traditionally used to produce snack food called kluiklui. The snacks were obtained by frying partially defatted peanut paste rolled into sticks. In order to improve sensory, physicochemical and nutritional content of kluiklui, different types of flour enriched kluiklui (FEK) were produced by incorporating native banana flour, or type-3 resistant starch banana flour at two levels (4 and 5%) and 1% porang glucomannan (mass basis) in this study. The produced kluiklui were evaluated for physicochemical, sensory and nutritional properties and were compared with a control kluiklui made from 100% partially defatted peanut paste. The samples with 1% porang glucomannan and those with combination of 4% type-3 resistant starch banana flour and 1% porang glucomannan achieved the highest consumer acceptance with overall acceptability value 5.53 and 5.40, respectively. The developed products were found to be highly nutritious in terms of protein and carbohydrate. However, the products had higher value of moisture content and required further drying. The indigestible fraction was also increased in the formulated kluiklui which is attributed to the synergistic presence of fiber. Sample containing 4% type-3 resistant starch banana flour and 1% porang glucomannan exhibited the highest indigestible fraction content (30.76%). Our results showed that the nutritionally and sensory accepted flour enriched kluiklui can be prepared using banana flour and porang glucomannan.

Published: March 2022

Abstract: Prediction of stock prices is one of the most researched topics and gathers interest from academia and the industry alike. In the finance world stock trading is one of the most important activities. Stock market prediction is an act of trying to determine the future value of a stock other financial instrument traded on a financial exchange. This paper explains the prediction of a stock using Machine Learning. The technical and fundamental or the time series analysis is used by the most of the stockbrokers while making the stock predictions. The programming language is used to predict the stock market using machine learning is Python. In this paper we propose a Machine Learning (ML) approach that will be trained from the available stocks data and gain intelligence and then uses the acquired knowledge for an accurate prediction. The paper focuses on the use of Linear Regression, Moving Average, K-Nearest Neighbours, Auto ARIMA, Prophet, and LSTM based Machine learning techniques to predict stock values. Factors considered are open, close, low, high and volume. The models are evaluated using standard strategic indicators: RMSE and MAPE. The low values of these two indicators show that the models are efficient in predicting stock closing price. We conducted comprehensive evaluations on frequently used machine learning models and conclude that our proposed solution outperforms due to the comprehensive feature engineering that we built. The system achieves overall high accuracy for stock market price prediction. This work contributes to the stock analysis research community both in the financial and technical domains. Keywords: Stock Market, Machine Learning, Prediction, LSTM, Python, Analysis, Linear Regression, Feature Engineering.

Introdução: O transplante de córneas é o principal tratamento para pessoas que apresentam distúrbios de curvatura ou transparência da córnea. No Brasil, não há protocolo unificado para meios de preservação, tempo de armazenamento e antibióticos utilizados. A preocupação é a de que patógenos possam ser transferidos aos receptores de transplantes. Objetivo: Realizar o levantamento da microbiota ocular de doadores de córneas a fim de verificar uma possível correlação com infecções em receptores e, dessa forma, auxiliar na melhoria de metodologias e protocolos de armazenamento de córneas. Método: Foi conduzido a partir de revisão da literatura, nas bases de dados PubMed, SciELO e nos portais: periódicos da CAPES, Anvisa, Ministério da Saúde e ABTO, entre 2018 e 2020. Resultados: Estudos baseados em cultivo de microrganismos trazem Staphylococcus coagulase negativa (SCN) de 30% a 100% das amostras isoladas de conjuntivas. Em menor quantidade estão Streptococcus, Corynebacterium e Propionibacterium. Bactérias Gramnegativas aparecem em número inferior, representadas pelos gêneros Haemophilus, Neisseria, Pseudomonas, Enterobacter, Escherichia, Proteus e Acinetobacter. Já as técnicas independentes de cultivo trazem Pseudomonas como a principal colonizadora da conjuntiva. Também apresentam uma diversidade maior de colonizadores, mostrando um potencial campo de estudos, no qual a superfície ocular pode ter uma diversidade muito maior de espécies e potenciais agentes patogênicos. Os principais meios de preservação utilizados no Brasil levam os antimicrobianos gentamicina e estreptomicina em sua composição, porém estudos têm mostrado que as bactérias presentes nos meios de preservação são resistentes a esses antibióticos. Conclusões: Os dados apontam para a necessidade de reavaliação da eficiência desses meios de preservação na descontaminação das córneas para transplante.

Introdução: A partir da vigência do Programa Nacional de Segurança do Paciente (PNSP) no Brasil, tornou-se obrigatória a implantação de Núcleos de Segurança do Paciente (NSP) nos estabelecimentos de saúde. Apesar dos estudos sobre a implantação dos NSP em hospitais, até o momento, não há uma síntese que apresente pontos para orientar ações para melhoria de sua efetividade. Objetivo: Sintetizar o conhecimento disponível em publicações científicas brasileiras sobre a estruturação, funcionamento e atuação de NSP em hospitais. Método: Revisão integrativa de literatura realizada a partir da questão: “O que a produção científica apresenta sobre a estruturação e funcionamento de NSP em hospitais?”. As buscas foram realizadas em junho de 2020, nas bases de dados LILACS, MEDLINE e BDENF, por meio de combinações dos seguintes descritores: Segurança do Paciente; Gestão de Riscos, Gestão de Segurança e Hospitais. Resultados: Doze artigos foram selecionados para inclusão. No geral, os NSP nos hospitais atendem parcialmente às diretrizes do PNSP. Foram identificadas falhas relacionadas às estruturas materiais e de recursos humanos dos NSP, bem como em relação às suas atividades. Aspectos do contexto local que representaram barreiras ou facilitadores para atuação efetiva dos NSP incluem questões materiais (por exemplo, dimensionamento e treinamento da equipe), simbólicas (por exemplo, cultura punitiva), relacionais (por exemplo, apoio da alta gestão) e institucionais (por exemplo, ferramentas para gestão da qualidade). Conclusões: A implantação de NSP nos hospitais tem apresentado avanços, mas ainda há muitos desafios para sua atuação efetiva. Melhorar a efetividade dos NSP exige criar um contexto mais favorável para o desenvolvimento de ações de melhoria da segurança.

Introdução: A pandemia do novo coronavírus teve repercussões no funcionamento dos sistemas de saúde do mundo inteiro. O tabagista foi um grupo diretamente afetado por essas mudanças. Objetivo: Mensurar esse impacto a partir da análise dos dados do Programa Estadual de Controle ao Tabagismo de Pernambuco. Método: Estudo descritivo transversal, utilizando como unidades de análise dados da estratégia de monitoramento do Programa Estadual de Controle ao Tabagismo da Secretaria Estadual de Saúde de Pernambuco (SES-PE), comparando os atendimentos no segundo quadrimestre dos anos de 2019 e 2020. Resultados: Entre maio e agosto de 2019, 3.282 pacientes tabagistas buscaram tratamento para cessação do tabagismo no SUS, em Pernambuco. Em período similar, entre os meses de maio e agosto do ano de 2020, o tratamento para cessação do tabagismo foi procurado por 680 usuários tabagistas, representando uma queda de 79,28%. Além disso, o número de municípios oferecendo tratamento para cessação do tabagismo no SUS caiu de 97 para 36 (62,89%) e o número de unidades de saúde da atenção básica realizando tratamento para cessação do tabagismo no SUS de 277 para 80 (71,11%). Conclusões: A diminuição da oferta do tratamento pelo Programa Estadual de Combate ao Tabagismo é preocupante. Ainda que a sua relação com a COVID-19 não esteja completamente elucidada, a cessação do uso do tabaco traz benefícios já bem estabelecidos. Dessa forma, é necessário incentivar a adoção de novas estratégias e tecnologias, aproveitando a janela de oportunidade que o temor da associação COVID-19/tabagismo criou.

Published: March 2022

El conocimiento local hace parte de la identidad y el patrimonio de las comunidades, su análisis ayuda a comprender mejor la relación hombre-naturaleza, conociendo así las múltiples interacciones que existen dentro de estos (Waldrón et al., 2018). En el entorno natural y en los sistemas de producción, el conocimiento del componente forestal es muy importante, debido a que las leñosas perennes poseen beneficios económicos y proveen la sostenibilidad del ambiente (Ángel et al., 2017). La zona Andina es de gran relevancia al tener variedad de ecosistemas como el del bosque altoandino, páramos que comprenden alturas desde los 2600 hasta los 3400 metros de elevación y presentando una vegetación única y de importancia que proveen varios servicios ecosistémicos, que son consideradas zonas de recarga hídrica y hábitat de varias especies (Pineda et al., 2011). El presente libro da a conocer el análisis de los bienes y servicios que proveen varias leñosas perennes multipropósito, comparando el conocimiento etnobotánico tradicional y lo registrado en la literatura. Dicha investigación se adelantó en el corregimiento de Morasurco, municipio de Pasto, el cual está dividido en diez veredas (Daza, Chachatoy, La Josefina, La Meced, Pinasaco, San Antonio de Aranda, San Juan Alto, San Juan Bajo, Tescual y Tosoabi), donde se encuentran diferentes sistemas de producción (Agrícola, forestal y pecuario).

Published: March 2022

Los residuos agrícolas representan un problema de contaminación, dada su inadecuada disposición y elevados volúmenes generados. Por ello, su revalorización para producir biocombustibles es atractiva, para lo cual se requiere conocer su poder calorífico. Se han reportado modelos matemáticos para predecir el poder calorífico considerando análisis elementales, estructurales y proximales, siendo éstos últimos los de menor costo. Por ello, el presente trabajo realizó un estudio comparativo de los modelos matemáticos que predicen el poder calorífico con base en análisis elementales; dicho estudio considera: 1) residuos agrícolas procedentes de México (paja de frijol, paja de trigo, cascarilla de arroz, cascabillo de café), y 2) residuos reportados en la literatura (fibras y cáscaras de coco, residuos de jardín, cáscaras de canola, cáscaras de Jatropha curcas, paja de trigo), con el objetivo de determinar si los modelos existentes funcionan adecuadamente para las biomasas mexicanas. Para ello, las biomasas mexicanas son caracterizadas mediante análisis proximales; por otra parte, se estima el poder calorífico de todas las biomasas con modelos matemáticos lineales previamente reportados, y los resultados se comparan con los valores experimentales. Los resultados muestran que los coeficientes de determinación de los modelos matemáticos existentes son bajos, en particular al emplear datos de biomasas mexicanas. El mejor modelo para predecir el poder calorífico en residuos agrícolas mexicanos (R2 = 0.72) considera solamente el contenido de materia volátil y de carbono fijo, así como una débil funcionalidad del contenido de cenizas. Por ello, es necesario proponer modelos matemáticos específicamente para las biomasas mexicanas.

We describe a case of Drug Reaction with Eosinophilia and Systemic
Symptoms (DRESS) to multiple CFTR modulators and piperacillin in an 8
year old female with CF. To our knowledge this is the first reported
case of delayed type, T-cell mediated hypersensitivity to multiple CFTR
modulators described in literature. Our findings suggest possible
cross-reactivity between CFTR modulators or multiple sensitisations,
which should be taken into account in similar cases.

Introduction- Necrotising fasciitis is a rapidly progressive disease
with high morbidity and mortality. Head and neck necrotising fasciitis
is a rare clinical entity but may be admitted under an ENT specialist
team. An understanding of the presenting features and the need for
prompt management is imperative. Case Series-We present a series of
patients admitted to hospitals across Greater Glasgow, United Kingdom
under Otoloryngology and Maxillofacial surgical teams with head and neck
necrotising fasciitis over an 8-year time period. Discussion-8 patients
were identified in this case series. We highlight the clinical features,
patient demographics and operative courses of this patient group. We
highlight the need to recognise peri-ocular necrotising fasciitis,
especially in the paediatric population which has not been discussed in
the otolaryngology literature previously.

Authors: Nnindini Sayibu Ibrahim , Dankwah Justice Boateng
Published: March 2022

The study examined the relationship between brand marketing programs and brand loyalty of automobile users in an emerging economy context. Adopting a positivist paradigm, a quantitative approach was employed. Using a cross-sectional survey, data was collected from 700 respondents. Scales of measures were evaluated using exploratory and confirmatory factor analysis after which consumer loyalty segments were created using cluster analysis. Logistic regression was carried out to evaluate the effect of brand marketing programs on consumer loyalty. The study revealed a positive and significant association between brand marketing efforts and consumers’ purchase decisions and loyalty to automobile brands. Four brand marketing efforts were also found to be significantly associated with the two segments (high and low involvement) at varying degrees.
Reduction of the soil environmental impact caused by the presence of total petroleum hydrocarbons (TPH) by using Pseudomonas sp.
Authors: PAREDES PÁLIZ K. , CUNACHI A.M. , LICTA E.
Published: March 2022

This research focuses on the bioaugmentation with Pseudomonas sp. (native) and Pseudomonas aeruginosa (commercial) for the biodegradation of total petroleum hydrocarbons (TPH) of the environmental soil samples of the AqLab laboratory in Orellana, Ecuador. Two treatments of sterilized soil (one inoculated with the native strain and the other inoculated with the commercial strain), where used for physical- -chemical analyzes as well as the degradation of TPH. They were evaluated every 20 days for a total period of 80–100 days. The native bacterium was isolated from the laboratory agglomerates in a selective culture medium specific for Pseudomonas sp. The biodegradation of the TPH exhibited a positive result after 80 and 100 days of treatment, with a reduction of 84 and 96% of initial TPH after the bacterial inoculation. The comparison between the two strains evaluated, commercial and native, showed a greater efficiency of biodegradation by the native strain isolated directly from the agglomerates, suggesting working with native strains of the place that have a greater adaptability to the contaminated environment that would ensure bioremediation processes faster and more efficient, low cost and environmentally friendly.

Published: March 2022

Presented research aimed to develop an alternative approach for the estimation of biosorption capability of sunflower husk. The acid-pretreated sunflower biomass was characterized by scanning electron microscopy combined with energy dispersive X-Ray spectroscopy (SEM-EDX) analysis and Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy. Biosorption efficiency has been evaluated using inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectroscopy (ICP-OES) and laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy (LIBS). The adsorption capacity of the adsorbent was determined as the function of the pH of the solution, the initial concentration of heavy metal solutions, and contact time. The optimal conditions were achieved after 15 min of contact at pH 6, while the percentage of the removal was from 80.0?98.7 %, depending on the element. The results obtained from the kinetic and isotherm studies show that maximum adsorption of ions was quickly reached and followed the pseudo-second-order kinetic model. Real samples were tested and obtained Ni values by LIBS method were 3100?200 and 1240?100 mg kg-1, while estimated values by the ICP-OES were 2995?20 and 1130?10 mg kg-1, respectively. The obtained results prove that LIBS method can be used as a ?green alternative? for the evaluation of biosorption efficiency.
Treating Gestational Diabetes Reduces Birth Weight but Does Not Affect Infant Adiposity Across the 1st Year of Life
Authors: Retnakaran Ravi , Ye Chang , Hanley Anthony J. , Connelly Philip W. , Sermer Mathew , Zinman Bernard , Hamilton Jill K.
Published: March 2022

OBJECTIVE

The continuum of maternal glycemia in pregnancy shows continuous associations with both 1) neonatal birth weight at delivery and 2) subsequent adiposity later in childhood. While treating gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) can lower birth weight and thereby disrupt the former association, it is unclear if such treatment reduces childhood adiposity. Thus, we sought to compare anthropometry across the 1st year of life between infants born to women who were treated for GDM and those with lesser degrees of gestational dysglycemia (untreated).

RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS

Anthropometric measurements were performed at 3 months and 12 months of life in 567 infants born to women comprising the following four gestational glucose tolerance groups: 1) women with normoglycemia on both glucose challenge test (GCT) and oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) in pregnancy; 2) women with an abnormal GCT but normal OGTT; 3) those with mild gestational impaired glucose tolerance; and 4) women treated for GDM.

RESULTS

Birth weight progressively increased across the three untreated groups but was lowest in women treated for GDM (P = 0.0004). Similarly, women treated for GDM had the lowest rate of macrosomia (P = 0.02). Conversely, however, there were no differences among the four groups in weight z score, length z score, weight-for-length z score, or BMI z score at either 3 months or 12 months (all P values = NS). Similarly, there were no differences among the groups in triceps/biceps/subscapular/suprailiac skinfold thickness or sum of skinfolds at either 3 months or 12 months (all P values = NS).

CONCLUSIONS

Despite reducing birth weight and macrosomia, the treatment of GDM does not have analogous effects on infant adiposity across the 1st year of life.

Published: March 2022

Background and purpose:  COVID-19 lockdowns have affected personal mobility and behavior worldwide. This study compared the number of emergency department (ED) visits due to injuries and typical low-energy fractures in Finland during the COVID-19 lockdown period in spring 2020 to the reference period in 2019.
Patients and methods:  The data was collected retrospectively from the electronic patient records of 4 hospitals covering 1/5 of the Finnish population. We included the patients who were admitted to a hospital ED due to any injury during the lockdown period (March 18–May 31, 2020) and the reference period (March 18–May 31, 2019). We compared the differences between the average daily EDadmissions in the 2 years using the zero-inflated Poisson regression model.
Results: The overall number of ED visits due to injuries decreased by 16% (mean 134/day vs. 113/day, 95% CI –18 to –13). The number of ED visits due to wrist fractures decreased among women aged over 50 years by 40% (CI –59 to –9). Among women, the number of ED visits due to ankle fractures decreased by 32% (CI –52 to –5). The number of ED visits due to fractures of the upper end of the humerusdecreased by 52% (CI –71 to –22) among women. The number of ED visits due to hip fractures increased by 2% (CI –16 to 24).
Interpretation: Restrictions in personal mobility decreased the number of ED visits due to injuries during the pandemic. The effect can mainly be seen as a decreased number of the most typical low-energy fractures among women. In contrast, lockdown restrictions had no effect on the number of hip fractures.

Published: March 2022

The objectives of this research were to find out whether there is an improvement of the students’ ability in writing narrative text after the implementation of mind mapping technique and to find out the students’ perceptions toward the implementation of mind mapping technique. The approach of the research was quantitative. The subjects were 32 students of class X IPA 4 at SMAN 15 Bandar Lampung in 2019/2020 academic year. Writing tests and questionnaires were used to collect the data. The students’ writing scores were compared between the pre-test and the post-test by using Paired Sample T-test with the significant level 0.05. The students’ perceptions toward the implementation of mind mapping technique were (r = 0.801) since r >.60. The result of the research showed that there was an improvement of the students’ ability in writing narrative text from the pre-test (65.75) to the post-test (79.22). It can be seen from the students’ mean score after the implementation of mind mapping technique improved at 13.47. Furthermore, the result of questionnaires showed that most students (84.4%) gave positive perceptions toward the implementation of mind mapping technique in writing narrative text. This suggests that mind mapping technique can be used as a strategy to improve the students’ writing ability.

Modulation Scheme Classification in Cognitive Radio Networks Using the Long Short Term Memory (LSTM) of Deep Learning
Authors: Oyedeji Isaac A. , Ajayi Olumide O. , Aladesae Sunday T.
Published: March 2022

Cognitive Radio (CR) system has been adopted for efficient utilization of radio frequency spectrum. The classification of signal modulation schemes is one of the main characteristics of the CR for appropriate demodulation of sensed signals. However, conventional Modulation Classification (MC) techniques require extensive extraction of signal features, which is not often guaranteed. Thus, Deep Learning (DL) has been seen as a promising solution to this drawback in MC. This paper proposes a DL-based MC technique using the Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) network architecture. The proposed LSTM model was trained on M-ary Phase Shift Keying (MPSK) and M-ary Quadrature Amplitude Modulation (MQAM) signal types. The LSTM directly learns the features of a given modulation scheme of a signal sample during training. The signal samples were generated via computer simulation for Signal-to-Noise Ratios (SNRs) from -10 dB to 20 dB with an interval of 5 dB over flat fading channel and Additive white Gaussian noise (AWGN). Simulation results show that the proposed LSTM model achieves an average classification accuracy of 95% at SNRs above 0 dB.

Third-party libraries are frequently utilized to save implementation time when developing new software. The significance of libraries in the creation of mobile applications cannot be overstated. Others can use the programmer's library created and shared with the rest of the world in their own projects as a result of your efforts. The purpose of this work is to create a taxi service library for developers using both Android and iOS, using Dart Object-Oriented Programming, Dio, and Retrofit. The programmer's creation of an interface for accessing platform-specific functionality from the library and creating Android and iOS apps from its projects needs to speed up software development. Therefore, the best solution is for the programmer to use it. Flutter is an open-source SDK for developing high-performance and more reliable mobile applications for operating systems like iOS and Android, from a single code base. Moreover, Flutter targets the top mobile operating systems like Android and iOS. When developing a Dart open source project, the common conclusion the programmer always ends up with is to share the produced outcomes with the developer community. In the dart world, the latter should be the least objective. This will quickly enable building an app without having to develop everything from scratch. It provides a solution for GPU rendering and UI, powered by native ARM code.

Impact of thermal cycles on tribological properties and oxidation of MoS2 coatings
Authors: Brittain Kristine , Morina Ardian , Yang Liuquan , Neville Anne
Published: March 2022

MoS2 based solid lubricants are extensively used in space applications, where the materials are exposed to large fluctuations of temperatures. Storage takes place in ambient conditions and so does testing, to test the mechanical systems in the harshest environments. In this work, the coatings were exposed to 40 °C, 75 °C and 250 °C for 1 hour and cooled in air to determine the effect of exposure to increased temperature. It was confirmed that MoS2/Ti is thermally stable and not significantly affected by heat treatments. Pure MoS2 observes increased strain in the structure after exposure to 250 °C, which is due to oxygen substitution that takes place in S vacancies, followed by oxide formation. Although coefficient of friction is not affected by heat treatments, wear is reduced due to increase in hardness.

Authors: Paes Rute , Körössy Nathália , de Melo Priscila
Published: March 2022

Diante da capacidade do audiovisual movimentar a economia, gerando empregos e renda, emerge a importância da criação das film commissions, organizações sem fins lucrativos criadas para atuar na atração e apoio logístico de produções. Desta forma, este artigo teve como objetivo analisar as estratégias de marketing utilizadas pelas film commissions na promoção da jurisdição como destino de audiovisual e respectivas ferramentas promocionais utilizadas na atração de produções audiovisuais. Sendo assim, convencionou-se utilizar o estudo de caso das duas principais film commissions brasileiras, Rio Film Commission e São Paulo Film Commission. Foram realizadas pesquisa bibliográfica, pesquisa documental e entrevistas com gestores das entidades. Como categorias de análise foram adotadas as estratégias de marketing elencadas por Hudson e Tung (2010) e, como método de análise, a análise de conteúdo do tipo categorial. Os resultados mostram que o marketing territorial das FC se concentra na aplicação de ferramentas do marketing mix e que a principal abordagem adotada consiste na diferenciação de produto. Ambas FC buscam diferenciar suas localidades por meio de atributos naturais e culturais intrínsecos: SPFilm posiciona a cidade como um destino que pode ser “todas as cidades do mundo” e Rio Film Commission se vende como cidade-síntese da cultura brasileira.

Published: March 2022

Sickle cell anaemia is a life-threatening genetic disease that causes damage to red blood cells by polymerisation of deoxygenated haemoglobin. It is highly prevalent in Africa especially in regions with high prevalence of malaria. Over the years, hydroxyurea had been the only promising drug used in the management of sickle cell anaemia; however, it has been found to be unaffordable and not readily available to the affected poor people in rural areas. Several challenges face drug development efforts in Africa yet there remains a significant need for the development and standardisation of newer, cheaper, and effective anti-sickling drugs that would be readily affordable and available to meet the needs of the African populace.

Barley (Hordeum vulgare L.) is one of the grain cereals widely cultivated for human and animal consumption. The objective of this study was to determine the components of the peripheral layer (PL) of 4 stages of development of barley grain (Hordeum vulgare L.) (Saida 183) by manual isolation, as follows, Mg, Mn, and Ca content shows a progressive decrease through the development cycle from (1.888; 0.0645; 8.345) mg/l DM in ripening stage respectively, while Fe and Zn are increased in maturation stage (0.663; 0.360) mg/l of DM. The K content presented an important increase from 7.7 mg/ml in the maturity with a value of 30 mg/ml. The average values of crude fiber content varied from 8.4 to 16.6. These values increase significantly with the development of the barley in different stages. The phytic acid content in the fourth stage (maturation) was 8.96±0.56 mg/g DM, and the proline content was very low in the first stage with a value of (2.474 ± 0.069) mg/ml DM and in the maturation stage the value was high with a value of (7.148 ± 0.248) mg/ml DM. The optical observation of the different microstructures and progressive changes that were undergone from the first filling stage of the mid-milk stage, soft dough stage, physiological stage, and ripening stage were studied. By optical observation, there is the formation of the first protective envelope of the grain, so all the tissues of the external pericarp that is grouped with the testa. The aleurone layer was structured in three rows with an important condensation of the cells of the albumen sub-structures that are involved in the storage.
