Published: October 2019

Utilization of hydrocarbon gaseous fuels, such as biogas, landfill gas and others, is a valuable contribution to sustainable energy production and climate changing control. The presence of CO in these gases decreases heat of combustion, flame temperature, 2 flame speed and can induce flame blow-off and combustion instabilities. In order to better understand the problem, flame geometry and location was investigated using chemiluminescence (CH*) imaging technique. Combustion took place in a purposely built, lean, premixed, unconfined swirl burner, fueled by methane and propane diluted with CO . The fuel type, air-to-fuel equivalence ratio and CO content were chosen as the 2 2 independent variables. The CH* imaging by means of a commercial CCD camera, fitted with an optical filter, was used for flame investigation. The analysis of images showed that the CH* emission intensity, flame geometry and location were remarkably affected by the fuel type and the air-to-fuel equivalence ratio, while the CO dilution was of minor 2 importance.

Published: October 2019

The evaporation of a drop deposited on a heated substrate is a complex process, which combines several phenomena such as the Marangoni effect, mass and thermal transfers, etc. We developed, in this paper, a mathematical model and a numerical simulation code used to carry out an in-depth study about the evaporation of a drop deposited on a heated substrate surrounded by air. This numerical study was supported by experimental work. The numerical findings obtained showed the existence of a condensation phenomenon for certain configurations. At the beginning of the experiment, the evaporation started at the triple point. However, a local region of the interface remained relatively cold. In this region, the concentration gradient (Cv, Csat) directed from the liquid-gas interface to the air resulted in condensation of water steam. Although this phenomenon is temporary and visible only at the start of evaporation process, its study makes it possible to better understand and optimize the evaporation kinetics.

Published: October 2019

Dry hot rock power generation is an important part of geothermal energy application, and condenser has become an important part of the system because it can provide a lower outlet back pressure for steam turbine, and improve the power generation of the system. Engineering equation solver is applied to assess the performance of cooling towers for ORC power generation systems. In the present study, two models with different cooling towers are considered. In the first model, the predicted performance of the opening cooling tower for ORC systems is studied and compared with the experimental measurement for a 500 kW system and in the second model, because of the high mass-flow of the cooling water and high energy consumption of the cooling water pump for the opening cooling tower, the predicted performance of the closed wet cooling tower to replace the opening cooling tower for ORC systems is studied. The models are capable of predicting the variation of evaporation and condensation temperatures, the pressure loss of heat ex-changers. The R123, R227ea, R245fa, R600, and R600a are tested as working flu-ids. The results show that the second model reduces the energy consumption of the cooling water pump, and it also improves the net power generation and net generation efficiency for using R227ea, R600, and R600a. However, with the increase of the closed wet cooling tower pressure loss, both the net power generation and net generation efficiency decrease. Therefore, different working fluids are suitable for different pressure loss.

Published: October 2019

The specific heat of aqueous graphene+Al2O3 (1:1) hybrid nanofluid was measured using the cooling method. The influence of nanoparticle mass fraction and temperature on the specific heat capacity of the hybrid nanofluids was investigated, the specific heat of the hybrid nanofluid was compared with that of aqueous graphene oxide nanofluid and Al2O3 nanofluid. A fitted formula of the specific heat of the hybrid nanofluid was proposed based on the experimental data. It indicates that the specific heat reduction ratio increases with increase of nanoparticle fraction and the maximum reduction ratio is 7% at 0.15 wt.% at 20?C. The mass fraction of nanoparticle affects the specific heat of hybrid nanofluid more significantly at lower temperature. Temperature impacts the specific heat more distinctly than the nanoparticle fraction. The specific heat increases with temperature and the maximum specific heat reduction ratio of the hybrid nanofluid diminishes from 7% at 20?C to 2% at 70?C at the mass fraction of 0.05%.

Published: October 2019

Reasonable capacity configurations of distributed energy system are issues which need to be discussed. Determinate design without considering variations in energy load and energy prices can result in non-achievement of project targets during its service life. Therefore, a design method that takes into account uncertain factors takes precedence over other methods. In this paper, a three-stage optimization method is proposed to provide theoretical guidance on the optimization of combined cooling, heating, and power system configurations. The first two stages link the optimization of the operation strategy and equipment capacities simultaneously under current load and energy prices. The Monte-Carlo simulation is applied in the third stage to fully consider the effects of various possible scenarios, and the Tabu search algorithm was introduced for system optimization. The comprehensive benefits include energy consumption, economy, and emission level. These were taken into consideration in the objective function. Moreover, a detailed design process was presented to illustrate the application of the proposed method. In conclusion, the proposed method is not only suitable for the design of combined cooling, heating, and power system, but could easily extend to other energy system easily.
General solutions for the mixed boundary value problem associated to hydromagnetic flows of a viscous fluid between symmetrically heated parallel plates
Authors: Javaid Maria , Imran Muhammad , Fetecau Constantin , Vieru Dumitru
Published: October 2019

Exact general solutions for hydromagnetic flows of an incompressible viscous fluid between two horizontal infinite parallel plates are established when the upper plate is fixed and the inferior one applies a time-dependent shear stress to the fluid. Porous effects are taken into consideration and the problem in discussion is completely solved for moderate values of the Hartman number. It is found that the fluid velocity and the non-trivial shear stress satisfy PDE of the same form and the motion characteristics do not depend of magnetic and porous parameters independently but only by a combination of them that is called the effective permeability. For illustration, as well as to bring to light some physical insight of results that have been obtained, three special cases are considered and the influence of Reynolds number as well as combined porous and magnetic effects on the fluid motion are graphically underlined and discussed for motions due to constant or ramped-type shear stresses on the boundary. The starting solutions corresponding to motions induced by the lower plate that applies constant or oscillatory shear stresses to the fluid are presented as sum of steady-state and transient solutions and the required time to reach the steady-state is graphically determined. This time is greater for motions due to sine as compared to cosine oscillating shear stresses on the boundary. The steady-state is rather obtained in the presence of a magnetic field or porous medium.
Utilization of geothermal springs as a renewable energy source: Vranjska Banja case study

Published: October 2019

Despite the significant natural potential, geothermal energy in Serbia has traditionally been used in balneology and recreation, while its share in the country?s total energy balance is almost negligible (0.05%). The present paper deals with the City Municipality of Vranjska Banja as a pioneer in the territory of Serbia in using geothermal energy for heating. The concept and methodology of the present research are directly related to the utilization of geothermal resources for district heating in the Vranjska Banja area. The presented analysis includes: determining the available amount of energy, identifying the energy needs of selected public facilities, and the estimation of investment necessary for energy utilization. A survey, combined with field research, is focused on four public facilities connected to the heating system relying on geothermal sources, as well as on two facilities that should be connected to the system in the next phases. The results show economic, ecological, and technological advantages of using geothermal heating systems, as well as the acceptable price of equipment maintenance. An economic assessment of the transition of one facility from the existing heating system to a system relying on geothermal energy has also been made. The analysis confirms the cost-effectiveness of using geothermal energy and reveals numerous ecological advantages (safe heating, absence of CO2 emission) over other energy sources.

Implementing Relative Performance Evaluation: The Role of Life Cycle Peers
Authors: Drake Katharine D. , Martin Melissa A.
Published: October 2019

The effectiveness of relative performance evaluation (RPE) in compensation contracts depends on a firm's ability to identify peers that are subject to similar exogenous shocks with similar abilities to respond to such shocks. We expand the RPE literature by considering whether firms routinely select peers sharing a life cycle stage in RPE implementation. We argue that life cycle captures similarities in underlying economics and homogeneity along a number of dimensions relevant in filtering systematic performance. Using explicit peer firm disclosures and a peer selection model, we show that firms routinely select life cycle peers. Further, using implicit RPE tests, we document evidence of life cycle peers filtering common performance incremental to previously identified peer groups. We provide some of the first evidence that peer group composition differs with differing characteristics of the firm and its industry, highlighting that peer selection is a dynamic process evolving with the firm's changing nature.

Published: October 2019

To identify the factors mediating the progression of diabetic nephropathy (DN), we performed RNA sequencing of kidney biopsy samples from patients with early DN, advanced DN, and normal kidney tissue from nephrectomy samples. A set of genes that were upregulated at early but downregulated in late DN were shown to be largely renoprotective, which included genes in the retinoic acid pathway and glucagon-like peptide 1 receptor. Another group of genes that were downregulated at early but highly upregulated in advanced DN consisted mostly of genes associated with kidney disease pathogenesis, such as those related to immune response and fibrosis. Correlation with estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) identified genes in the pathways of iron transport and cell differentiation to be positively associated with eGFR, while those in the immune response and fibrosis pathways were negatively associated. Correlation with various histopathological features also identified the association with the distinct gene ontological pathways. Deconvolution analysis of the RNA sequencing data set indicated a significant increase in monocytes, fibroblasts, and myofibroblasts in advanced DN kidneys. Our study thus provides potential molecular mechanisms for DN progression and association of differential gene expression with the functional and structural changes observed in patients with early and advanced DN.
Residual Hypertriglyceridemia and Estimated Atherosclerotic Cardiovascular Disease Risk by Statin Use in U.S. Adults With Diabetes: National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey 2007–2014
Authors: Fan Wenjun , Philip Sephy , Granowitz Craig , Toth Peter P. , Wong Nathan D.
Published: October 2019

OBJECTIVE

Hypertriglyceridemia (HTG) is common in patients with diabetes, and statins remain the first-line therapy. However, the proportion of patients with diabetes having elevated triglycerides (TGs) on statin treatment and their atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD) risk has not been described. We quantified the prevalence of HTG in U.S. adults with diabetes currently treated versus not treated with statins and the estimated 10-year ASCVD risk.

RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS

Among 1,448 U.S. adults aged 20 years and over with diabetes (projected to 24.4 million) in the 2007–2014 National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES), we compared the prevalence of borderline HTG (TG 150–199 mg/dL) and HTG (TG ≥200 mg/dL) by statin use and LDL cholesterol (LDL-C) levels, and we used logistic regression to identify risk factors for HTG. We also estimated the 10-year ASCVD risk in those without prior ASCVD.

RESULTS

The prevalence of borderline HTG and HTG was 20.0% and 19.5%, respectively, in statin users and 20.1% and 25.3%, respectively, in nonstatin users (P < 0.0001). Even among statin users with LDL-C <70 mg/dL, borderline HTG prevalence was 16.8% and HTG prevalence was 16.7%. Approximately 77.5% of those with HTG had an estimated 10-year ASCVD risk of ≥7.5%, with almost 40% of statin users having ASCVD risk ≥20%.

CONCLUSIONS

Residual HTG occurs in over one-fifth (∼5.5 million) of U.S. adults with diabetes, including those on statin therapy and with well-controlled LDL-C. Over three-quarters of adults with diabetes with HTG are at moderate or high 10-year risk for ASCVD. Greater efforts are needed to promote lifestyle and pharmacologic means to address residual HTG.

OBJECTIVE

We evaluated the safety and efficacy of day-and-night fully closed-loop insulin therapy using faster (Faster-CL) compared with standard insulin aspart (Standard-CL) in young adults with type 1 diabetes.

RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS

In a double-blind, randomized, crossover trial, 20 participants with type 1 diabetes on insulin pump therapy (11 females, aged 21.3 ± 2.3 years, HbA1c 7.5 ± 0.5% [58.5 ± 5.5 mmol/mol]) underwent two 27-h inpatient periods with unannounced afternoon moderate-vigorous exercise and unannounced/uncovered meals. We compared Faster-CL and Standard-CL in random order. During both interventions, the fuzzy-logic control algorithm DreaMed GlucoSitter was used. Glucose sensor data were analyzed by intention-to-treat principle with the difference (between Faster-CL and Standard-CL) in proportion of time in range 70–180 mg/dL (TIR) over 27 h as the primary end point.

RESULTS

The proportion of TIR was similar for both arms: 53.3% (83% overnight) in Faster-CL and 57.9% (88% overnight) in Standard-CL (P = 0.170). The proportion of time in hypoglycemia <70 mg/dL was 0.0% for both groups. Baseline-adjusted interstitial prandial glucose increments 1 h after meals were greater in Faster-CL compared with Standard-CL (P = 0.017). The gaps between measured plasma insulin and estimated insulin-on-board levels at the beginning, at the end, and 2 h after the exercise were smaller in the Standard-CL group (P = 0.029, P = 0.003, and P = 0.004, respectively). No severe adverse events occurred.

CONCLUSIONS

Fully closed-loop insulin delivery using either faster or standard insulin aspart was safe and efficient in achieving near-normal glucose concentrations outside postprandial periods. The closed-loop algorithm was better adjusted to the standard insulin aspart.

Authors: Saydah Sharon H. , Shrestha Sundar S. , Zhang Ping , Zhou Xilin , Imperatore Giuseppina
Published: October 2019

OBJECTIVE

While diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) is common in youth at the onset of the diabetes, the excess costs associated with DKA are unknown. We aimed to quantify the health care services use and medical care costs related to the presence of DKA at diagnosis of diabetes.

RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS

We analyzed data from the U.S. MarketScan claims database for 4,988 enrollees aged 3–19 years insured in private fee-for-service plans and newly diagnosed with diabetes during 2010–2016. Youth with and without DKA at diabetes diagnosis were compared for mean health care service use (outpatient, office, emergency room, and inpatient visits) and medical costs (outpatient, inpatient, prescription drugs, and total) for 60 days prior to and 60 days after diabetes diagnosis. A two-part model using generalized linear regression and logistic regression was used to estimate medical costs, controlling for age, sex, rurality, health plan, year, presence of hypoglycemia, and chronic pulmonary condition. All costs were adjusted to 2016 dollars.

RESULTS

At diabetes diagnosis, 42% of youth had DKA. In the 60 days prior to diabetes diagnosis, youth with DKA at diagnosis had less health services usage (e.g., number of outpatient visits: −1.17; P < 0.001) and lower total medical costs (−$635; P < 0.001) compared with youth without DKA at diagnosis. In the 60 days after diagnosis, youth with DKA had significantly greater health care services use and health care costs ($6,522) compared with those without DKA.

CONCLUSIONS

Among youth with newly diagnosed diabetes, DKA at diagnosis is associated with significantly higher use of health care services and medical costs.
DIREITO À EDUCAÇÃO COMO PRINCÍPIO DE JUSTIÇA SOCIAL: UM OLHAR PARA AS POLÍTICAS AVALIATIVAS E SUAS REVERBERAÇÕES NO CENÁRIO CURRICULAR
Authors: Almeida Lucinalva Andrade Ataide de , Magalhães Priscila Vieira , Gonçalves Crislainy Lira
Published: October 2019

As políticas curriculares e avaliativas voltadas à educação básica têm se apresentado sob a égide de garantias sociais, de diminuição das desigualdades e de inclusão - princípios que se constituem como essenciais à efetivação da justiça social. Assim, ao destacar nas políticas avaliativas-curriculares enunciados voltados a princípios de inclusão escolar em disputas históricas com sentidos de classificação e exclusão, objetivamos, neste texto, analisar os sentidos mobilizados nas políticas avaliativas e suas reverberações no cenário curricular contemporâneo por vias do direito à educação como elemento essencial à justiça social. A análise de políticas avaliativas, orientada por uma perspectiva discursiva, evidenciou sentidos de avaliação como instrumento de responsabilização e de medida do conhecimento que, apesar de no contexto macro político emergirem em consonância com discursos em prol da qualidade, da inclusão e da superação das desigualdades sócio-educacionais, ainda sustentam-se em uma memória discursiva constituída por significantes que se afastam dos princípios de justiça e equidade. Contudo, frente ao curso da história da negação-afirmação dos direitos humanos e do direito à educação via políticas avaliativas e suas reverberações nas políticas curriculares, vislumbramos o poder de (re)invenção dos discursos-políticas-práticas educacionais em efervescência na escola. Isto, porque, nesse espaço os profissionais e discentes de contextos sócio-econômico-culturais diversos - enquanto sujeitos e objetos da ação política (BALL; MAGUIRE, 2016) - se apresentam enquanto capazes de viabilizarem ou não projetos educacionais guiados por concepções que se pretendem transformadoras da sociedade e promotoras de justiça social.
A EDUCAÇÃO E A URGÊNCIA DE “DESBARBARIZAR” O MUNDO
Authors: Macedo Elizabeth
Published: October 2019

Neste texto, foco as recentes políticas curriculares no Brasil, inserindo-as em um cenário de hegemonia da racionalidade neoliberal. Assumo que tais políticas produziram um discurso de inclusão e justiça social, em diálogo com movimentos internacionais que, no pós-guerra, defenderam uma retórica contra a barbárie. A partir de análises formuladas por Chantal Mouffe, Wendy Brown, Judith Butler, Pierre Dardot e Christian Laval, tento entender o esgotamento ou a emergência de uma nova forma da racionalidade neoliberal. Por um lado, assumo que tal racionalidade não criou as condições materiais para que as promessas do pós-guerra se materializassem, ao contrário ampliou a desigualdade e a oligarquização. Por outro, argumento que, ao desprezar o político, ela apostou na desdemocratização. Combinados, tais movimentos desembocaram na ascensão de governos de direita em diferentes países, inclusive no Brasil. Após essa análise, defendo que uma educação para justiça social – ou para desbarbarizar o mundo – precisa corroer a equação neoliberal, não apenas na resistência às políticas públicas, mas na própria forma como teorizamos o currículo.
EDUCAÇÃO DE ADULTOS NA ORDEM PÓS DEMOCRÁTICA: DESAPARECIMENTO DA MODALIDADE E INVISIBILIDADE INSTITUCIONAL
Authors: Cavalcante Janayna
Published: October 2019

Neste estudo, retomamos as categorias Estado de Exceção e governamentalidade oriundas das investigações de Agamben e Foucault para uma discussão sobre as políticas curriculares da Educação de Pessoas Jovens e Adultas - EJA no contexto do Estado pós-democrático, situando-as enquanto uma relação de abandono. A análise de enfoque genealógico percorre a mudança institucional materializada no desaparecimento de área específica no Ministério da Educação para tratar as questões da modalidade, bem como o silenciamento da noção de modalidade educacional no texto publicado da Base Nacional Curricular Comum. O abandono é tomado como figuração de uma tecnologia política que opera a ação da lei como pura forma-da-lei, através da qual o Estado administra recursos materiais e simbólicos de forma estratégica resultando na produção de (in)visibilidade institucional e curricular para a EJA.
EDUCAÇÃO AMBIENTAL NOS CURSOS DE AGRONOMIA DAS UNIVERSIDADES FEDERAIS RURAIS DO BRASIL

Published: October 2019

Neste trabalho foram analisadas as concepções de Educação Ambiental (EA) presentes nos projetos pedagógicos (PPC) dos Cursos de Agronomia das Universidades Federais Rurais da Amazônia (UFRA), do Semiárido (UFERSA), de Pernambuco (UFRPE) e do Rio de Janeiro (UFRRJ). A pesquisa evidenciou três situações distintas entre as instituições estudadas: uma delas com indícios de uma Educação Ambiental conservadora, desvinculada da natureza social, cultural e política; outra privilegiando um viés mais regionalista, com ênfase no desenvolvimento econômico e presença de alguns matizes de sustentabilidade, associados à busca da cidadania e justiça; e nas outras duas, uma abordagem de Educação Ambiental integral, contextualizada do ponto de vista da complexidade que envolve as questões da sustentabilidade, inclusive da sua natureza social, cultural e política, uma delas apontando ainda a necessidade de contínua avaliação e reformulação da formação acadêmica do agrônomo, a qual demanda completa revisão dos currículos, favorecendo a atuação profissional crítica que considere os aspectos políticos, econômicos, sociais, ambientais e culturais, com visão ética e humanística.

Este artigo tem o objetivo de registrar os resultados obtidos na pesquisa de Dissertação de Mestrado do Programa de Educação: História, Política, Sociedade, intitulada “Capital cultural e letramento – participantes do Programa Fábricas de Cultura em São Paulo” (MONTEIRO, p. 12-122, 2017). A referida pesquisa foi construída a partir de um referencial teórico pautado nas ideias de Pierre de Bourdieu, Bernard Lahire e na Teoria do Letramento, e teve como proposta compreender o Projeto Espetáculo da Fábrica de Cultura do Jardim São Luís, por um lado, como atividade de contraturno escolar e, por outro, como um espaço promotor de capital cultural. Ao desenvolver o conceito de capital cultural e sua incorporação pelas atividades do Projeto analisou-se, também, a contribuição do aumento do volume desse capital para o letramento dos participantes. A pesquisa estabeleceu categorias de análise para compreender a incorporação do capital cultural como forma de desenvolver habilidades e competências definidas como importantes ao letramento. Pretende-se, assim, expandir as conclusões que possibilitaram afirmar a hipótese levantada durante a referida dissertação: o Projeto Espetáculo, do Programa Fábricas de Cultura, da Secretaria da Cultura do Governo do Estado de São Paulo, pode contribuir à superação dos déficits originários do capital cultural de jovens estudantes e, como consequência, promover melhoras no grau de letramento dos participantes.

TEIP NO ESPELHO: POLÍTICA PORTUGUESA PARA PROMOÇÃO DO SUCESSO ESCOLAR FUNDADA NA JUSTIÇA SOCIAL
Authors: Fritsch Rosangela , Leite Carlinda
Published: October 2019

O artigo analisa efeitos da Política Territórios Educativos de Intervenção Prioritária (TEIP), em curso em Portugal, como medida de promoção da aprendizagem e sucesso escolar, a partir da caracterização do quadro político e de percepções de professores do ensino superior que têm como foco de estudo políticas educacionais e curriculares e de professores gestores de agrupamentos de escolas. Metodologicamente, o estudo configura-se em uma orientação qualitativa que utilizou documentos legais e entrevistas reflexivas com três professoras do ensino superior da área da educação e três professoras gestoras de Agrupamentos de Escolas da Região Metropolitana do Porto com intervenção ativa nas políticas de gestão curricular e no programa TEIP. Como resultados conclui-se que os TEIP são uma política de discriminação positiva que se alinha, em seus princípios e propósitos, com os conceitos de justiça social e curricular e tem vindo, no contexto das escolas/agrupamentos de escolas, promovendo movimentos de mudança e mais-valias nos modos de pensar a atuar de professores e diretores. As melhorias no sucesso escolar têm vindo a acontecer gradativamente e convivem com limites que extrapolam o âmbito escolar. Nestas, identificam-se tensões entre a dimensão do cuidar, proteger, promover o desenvolvimento pessoal e social e promover o sucesso escolar.
A DESCOLONIZAÇÃO CURRICULAR EM UMA ESCOLA QUILOMBOLA – UMA POSSIBILIDADE DE MAIOR JUSTIÇA CURRICULAR E SOCIAL
Authors: Cavalcante Valéria Campos , Marinho Paulo
Published: October 2019

Este artigo destaca a construção e desenvolvimento de uma descolonização curricular assente em fundos de conhecimentos culturais e processos de recontextualização curricular aportados na diversidade de conhecimentos de uma comunidade quilombola. Teve por base uma pesquisa interventiva-colaborativa que assumiu como objetivo geral a construção e desenvolvimento de currículos contra-hegemônicos, no sentido de possibilitar uma maior justiça curricular e social, em contextos caracterizados por vigorosas exclusões de várias ordens. O estudo envolveu alunos e professoras do ensino fundamental, estudantes e professores/pesquisadores do ensino superior. A vivência deste currículo permitiu extrapolar o currículo hegemónico engessado a legados epistemológicos do colonialismo, em que os estudantes teceram suas práticas, a partir de redes de conhecimentos já existentes, ampliando saberes sobre a cultura da comunidade em que vivem. Permitiu o reconhecimento, reconstrução e fortalecimento de uma identidade cultural e promoveu uma maior motivação e participação ativa na construção das aprendizagens dos alunos, constituindo-se em uma possibilidade de maior justiça curricular e social.

Published: October 2019

This study investigated in-service English as foreign language (EFL) teachers’ practices while teaching reading comprehension at schools. Thirty EFL teachers were observed to identify their current practices and teaching quality. To triangulate the trustworthiness of the data, out of those thirty, ten EFL teachers were interviewed. The observation data were analyzed using descriptive statistic particularly frequencies and percent, and the interview data were analyzed using thematic content analysis. The findings of the study revealed that teachers taught students reading comprehension traditionally. Most of the observed and interviewed teachers knew the names of the reading comprehension strategies and the stages of teaching reading comprehension. However, they did not know how to employ and practice them. Based on the results, it is necessary to design professional development programs to empower EFL teachers on how to present these strategies and to conduct further research on this topic while considering other variables, like experience and the nature of curricula.

Fruit based beverages are one of the foremost categories of beverages that are consumed globally. Since fruit beverages are easily digestible, health conscious, highly refreshing, thirst quenching, appetizing and nutritionally far superior to most of the synthetic beverages available in the market, consumption of fruit based beverages have been increased dramatically. Natural extracts of tropical fruits such as Carica papaya (papaya), Passiflora edulis (passion fruit), and natural flavor extract of Camellia sinensis (leaves) and Cinnamomum verum (Cinnamon barks) were extracted and used as the main ingredients of this product while sugar, Citric acid, pectin were used as the supplementary ingredients. The best fruit pulp ratio and the best natural flavoring agent out of tea and cinnamon was determined through structured sensory evaluations by participating 30 semi trained panelists. Further experiments were also performed   to find the optimum amount of pectin to reduce hard packing and to determine the shelf life of the developed beverage and to develop the natural pectin extraction method by using unutilized parts of the Passiflora edulis fruit. Proximate analysis studies and microbiological studies were also carried out. Collected data were statistically analyzed using Kruskal-Wallis non parametric analysis and sample 293 which is containing 15% total fruit pulp with papaya to passion fruit ratio 2:1 and cinnamon as the flavoring agents was the best product formulae. According to the proximate analysis data, fat, protein, carbohydrates, fiber and the ash content were 0.41%, 0.11%, 13.13%, 0.052%, 3.028% and 83.27% respectively. The total plate count was 12 cfu/ml and yeast and molds were 0 cfu/ml of the product and Physico-chemical studies reveals that, the product can be preserved for 30 days under 4±1 0C condition.

The Crisis of Plastic Waste in Vietnam is Real
Authors: Truong Thanh Hai , Vu Hai Nam
Published: October 2019

The issue of "white pollution" at popular tourist destinations of environmental pollution is rising at an alarming rate. According to statistics, Vietnam currently ranks fourth in the world in volume of plastic waste, with approximately 730,000 tons of plastic waste going to the sea every year. Vietnam is also known as a country with twice the amount of plastic waste compared to low-income countries. Plastic waste in the ocean will destroy the natural environment, negatively affecting the lives of aquatic products. On land, plastic waste is abundant in many places and has serious impacts on human health and life. Analysts point out that, if the pace of use of plastic products continues to increase, there will be an additional 33 billion tons of plastic produced by 2050 and thus more than 13 billion tons of plastic waste will be buried. backfill into landfills or into the ocean. Meanwhile, the recycling of Vietnam's plastic waste, has not been developed. The rate of waste sorting at the source is very low, most types of waste are put together and collected by waste trucks. Plastic recycling technology used in Vietnam's major cities is outdated, low in efficiency, high in costs and polluting the environment. The paper presents the current situation of plastic waste in Vietnam as of June 2019. The authors focus on highlighting the serious "white pollution" in Vietnam, a country with a very long coastline. But the coast is really threatened by plastic waste. This is really a wake-up call to the authorities about the promulgation of policies and the people on the morality of survival with nature.
