Opportunity to assist in the expansion of high-quality soybean feed and edible oil production in Madagascar
Authors:   Agrival, Andriamifidy Bob
Published: October 2022

Madagascar has a population of over 28,000,000 people, of which 48% are food insecure, and 80% are involved in agriculture (reliefweb.int, 2022). Madagascar's prevalence of stunting in children under 5 years is 41.5% (Global-nutrition report, 2018). Additionally, UNICEF reports that drought in the southern region will increase acute childhood malnutrition fourfold over their 2020 assessment.  Soybean, a nutrient dense ingredient for human and animal consumption, may ameliorate undernutrition in Madagascar. Traditionally, soybean meal and oil were imported at an annual rate of approximately 50,000 metric tons of meal, and 75,000 liters of edible oil. More recent hikes in transportation costs and 30% tariffs, make production of quality feed, and edible oil from imported oilseeds impractical. To improve nutrition and farmer livelihoods, soybean must be locally cultivated and processed. Madagascar is suited to grow soybean with 8 million HA of cultivable land (FAO 2016) and average rainfall of 1,500 mm during a 6-month rainy season.  AGRIVAL is a Malagasy animal feed company, serving smallholder poultry growers. In reaction to increasing prices for imported soybean, the company created a 5-year strategy to strengthen its feed production capacity, expand processing to edible oils, and purchase locally grown soybean from Malagasy smallholder farmers. Contracts for new equipment include an oil expeller. Agrival partnered with Cultivating New Frontiers in Africa (CNFA) and the Soybean Innovation Lab (SIL) to grow soybeans and requests technical assistance with meal and oil production from their partnership with AOCS, under the Farmer-to-Farmer USAID program. To date, farmers have been trained and are growing soybeans in Madagascar. Agrival requests technical assistance from oilseed industry professionals, to better incorporate newly arriving equipment, and ramp up high-quality production.  This Project will produce high-quality, lower priced animal and human food for the Malagasy people and create thousands of jobs in agriculture and industry.

Published: October 2022

Dry fractionation of faba bean protein is a sustainable alternative to energy-intensive wet fractionation approaches. However, it can only lead to relatively modest enrichment in protein content. The primary goal of this study was to compare the impact of aqueous protein extraction processes on the functionalities of faba bean proteins for food applications. Proteins from two Canadian faba bean cultivars Snowbird (zero-tannin, ZT) and Athena (high-tannin, HT) were extracted by dialysis following water extraction (W) and salt extraction (S) processes, and conventional alkali-acid approach (A). Although salt-soluble globulins were the primary proteins found in faba beans based on Osborne's protein classification, protein isolates (PIs) from ZT-W and HT-W had significantly higher (P< 0.05) protein contents on a dry matter basis (89.8±0.4% and 92.0±0.0%, respectively, Nx6.25) as compared to protein concentrates (PCs) from ZT-S (78.2±0.4%) and HT-S (77.7±0.2%). These differences in protein extractability could be attributed to the higher levels of naturally present minerals.  Substantially lower (P< 0.05) mineral contents were detected in HT in comparison to ZT, plausibly due to the affinity of tannins towards minerals. Calorimetric analysis of W-PIs and A-PIs maintained at low-moisture contents resulted in a very high denaturation temperature range (225-235°C), implying their thermal stability for high-temperature processing. Furthermore, solubility, foaming and emulsification properties, and hydration capacities of W-PIs were higher or comparable to those of A-PIs and S-PCs. Dynamic rheological studies (25€“95€“25 °C) of W-PI heat-induced gels indicated that storage modulus (G') and loss modulus (G'') increased over time with an early crossover point (G' > G'') as compared to A-PIs. The stress and strain at fracture of W-PIs and A-PIs gels were comparable to those of whole egg gels. In summary, W-PIs were superior to S-PCs in terms of their functionalities and can be considered chemical-free alternatives to A-PIs, for sustainable food applications.

Published: October 2022

Mung bean protein (MBP) is a comparatively lesser-known plant (legume) protein that has attracted the interest of food industry mostly for its nutritional and functional properties. The objective of this study was to improve the gelling properties of mung bean protein isolate (MBPI) with high-power sonication (HPS) and atmospheric cold plasma (ACP) treatments. HPS at 250 J/mL for 2 mins and ACP at 80 kV for 5 mins were applied to different concentrations of MBPI prepared in lab. Control MBPI dispersions showed minimum gelling concentration (MGC) at 16% w/v, while ACP-treated showed at 14%. HPS did not reduce the MGC. Dynamic rheology of dispersions showed that HPS and ACP treatments could reduce the gelling temperature (Tg) to 52° and 65 °C, respectively, from 75°C for control. ACP-treated 16% protein dispersions showed six-fold higher storage modulus (G') than the control; however, G' values among 16% control, 14% ACP treated, and 16% HPS-treated protein dispersions were similar. Gels from ACP-treated 16% protein dispersion were the firmest, with hardness value that is 39% greater than those of gels from HPS treated 16% protein. HPS-treated protein gels showed better springiness, cohesiveness, gumminess, chewiness, and resilience than ACP-treated protein gel. ACP-treated protein had significantly higher hydrophobic and disulfide bonds, which promote the formation of harder gels. However, for HPS-treated proteins, the net interaction of ionic, hydrogen, hydrophobic, and disulfide bonds resulted in a more transparent gel with better textural profile (other than hard hardness) compared with ACP-treated protein samples.
Oilseeds extraction using 2-methyloxolane as an alternative bio-based solvent to hexane
Authors:   Avignon University, Claux Ombeline
Published: October 2022

Despite its known toxicity, hexane remains the state-of-the-art reference for solvent extraction of oilseeds. Alternatives have been studied and developed in the past decades, but none was competitive enough so far. Since 2012, a new bio-based solvent - 2-methyoxolane (2-MeOx) - appeared in the industry with several scientific publications showing its potential for the extraction of various oilseeds. However, only few research was published on major oilseeds such as soy, sunflower, or rapeseed. Following an exhaustive work already shared on soybean, we are now presenting our latest scientific research on rapeseed.First, the extraction products from rapeseed were analyzed and compared to those obtained with hexane using identical protocols. Then, several process parameters and conditions (yields, kinetic study, multi-stage extractions, etc.) were evaluated to better understand the impacts of the solvent switch.Experimentally, 2-MeOx gave higher crude extraction yields compared to hexane, with 28.3% vs 22.6%. As the crude oils main composition were similar, yield differences were attributed to the co-extraction of more polar additional compounds such as phospholipids and phenolic compounds. Interestingly, such phenolic antioxidants (mostly sinapic acid derivatives), which are usually not extracted using hexane, were found at 1-2% levels in the crude oils extracted using 2-MeOx. Regarding the defatted meals, no significant difference was observed in terms of crude protein and amino-acid contents. Advantageously, some of the antinutritional factors were significantly reduced when using 2-MeOx as lipophilic solvent. Up to now, the kinetic study and multi-stage cross-current extractions have shown that hexane and 2-MeOx have similar behavior. Overall, the results of this study reveal that 2-MeOx has a good potential to replace the standard solvent used in the oilseeds industry, as this alternative bio-based solvent provides oils and meals with similar quality when compared to hexane while exhibiting a similar behavior during extraction.

Bu becerilerin kazandırılması sürecinde ise öğrencilerin felsefe dersine yönelik tutumlarının etkili olabileceği düşünülmektedir. Bu bağlamda çalışmanın amacı, on birinci sınıf öğrencilerinin felsefe dersine yönelik tutumlarının belirlenerek, öğretmenlerin bakış açısından öğrencilerin tutumlarının değerlendirilmesidir. Araştırma Kahramanmaraş ili Onikişubat ilçesinde bulunan beş farklı lisede öğrenim görmekte olan 200 on birinci sınıf öğrencisiyle ve aynı il ve ilçenin devlet okullarında görev yapmakta olan 10 felsefe öğretmeniyle gerçekleştirilmiştir. Nicel ve nitel bölümlerden oluşan araştırmada tarama modelinden faydalanılmıştır. Nicel veriler “Felsefe Dersi Tutum Ölçeği” kullanılarak, nitel veriler ise yarı yapılandırılmış görüşme formu kullanılarak elde edilmiştir. Nicel verilerin analizinde betimsel istatistiklerin yanında, t Testi, Mann Whitney U, One Way ANOVA ve Kruskal Wallis testleri kullanılmıştır. Nitel verilerin analizi ise içerik analizi yöntemiyle yapılmıştır. Araştırma sonucunda on birinci sınıf öğrencilerinin felsefe dersine yönelik tutumlarının cinsiyete, göre anlamlı farklılık gösterdiği, anne-baba eğitim durumunun ve kitap okuma sıklığının da öğrencilerin tutumlarını etkilediği sonucuna ulaşılmıştır. Ayrıca felsefe dersi öğretmenlerinin lise öğrencilerinin felsefe dersine yönelik tutumlarını olumsuz buldukları; bunun nedenlerini ise felsefenin birçok konuyu sorgulaması, üniversite sınavında az sayıda soru sorulması gibi faktörlere bağladıkları sonucuna ulaşılmıştır.
Precariedad, resiliencia y género: una aproximación en tiempos de COVID-19
Authors: Celaya Álvarez Amaia
Published: October 2022

La brecha de género en el trabajo es una realidad global. El mercado laboral acusa una grave segregación ocupacional e importantes desigualdades salariales entre hombres y mujeres. Para mujeres y niñas, a la inseguridad en la contratación y el miedo a quedar excluidas del mercado laboral, se suman la asunción de tareas domésticas y de cuidados y la inestabilidad de la economía sumergida e informal, en diferentes grados y escalas, en muchos países del mundo. La Covid-19 ha agravado todavía más esta situación, aumentando las desigualdades de género, viviendo mujeres y niñas situaciones desproporcionadas de precarización, vulnerabilidad, falta de buena salud y exclusión social. A través del análisis de la situación actual de cada uno de los cinco vectores de transformación en los que la Organización de las Naciones Unidas (ONU) ha centrado su propuesta de recuperación socioeconómica con respecto a la Covid-19, este artículo trata de dilucidar si esta crisis se puede convertir en una oportunidad, desde una lógica resiliente, para la mejora de las condiciones de vida laboral para mujeres y niñas.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to investigate and analyze the use of the frequency modulation (FM) systems. The degree of speech perception in various school environment and participation in the class using the FM systems for hearing-impaired students and teachers who use the FM systems in integrated education.Methods: Questions were composed of multiple-choice statements that can check for duplicate answers and short-answer for questions developed as a mobile app and implemented by sending individual text messages. The subjects were elementary, middle, and high school eight students receiving integrated education and their eight teachers.Results: The overall opinion of using the FM systems was ‘very satisfied’ for all students, and 75% of teachers showed more satisfaction. FM systems were used in various environments, curriculum activity, experiential learning, practice, group activities, and audiovisual education through media such as TV or computer. The FM system was helpful at any distance in quiet, noisy, or reverberant environments. Using the FM system, the hearing-impaired student felt positive effects when listening to the conversation of the teacher or other friends, but felt negative effects when the teacher and other friends did not understand the speech of the hearing-impaired student.Conclusion: FM systems provided a better classroom acoustic environment for hearing-impaired students. Understanding classroom acoustics such as noise situation, signal-to-noise ratio, and reverberation time expects effective physical integration for the integrated education of hearing-impaired students.

Single-crystal c-Ge plates implanted with Ag+ ions with an energy of E=30 keV, current density of the ion beam J = 5 μA/cm2 and a dose of D=2.5×1016 ion/cm2 were subjected to rapid thermal annealing by single light pulses of various durations from 1 up to 9.5 s. By scanning electron microscopy and optical reflection spectroscopy measurements it was shown that after ion implantation an amorphous porous Ag:PGe layer of spongy structure, consisting of Ge nanowires, is formed on the surface of c-Ge substrates. It was found that the annealing with an increase in the pulse duration up to 5 s successively leads to an increase in the Ge nanowire diameters from 26 to 35 nm. With longer pulses, the porous Ag:PGe structure is destroyed and Ag evaporates from the implanted layers.

Studies of the properties of ZnxFe3-xO4 (x=0, 0,25, 0,5, 0,75, 1) magnetic nanoparticles synthesized by a modified hydrothermal method are presented in comparison with the properties of the same nanoparticles stabilized with polyacrylic acid ZnxFe3-xO4@PAA. The structure, size, morphology, and magnetic properties of the samples were studied by X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT IR), physical properties measurements (PPMS), and Mossbauer spectroscopy. The synthesized nanoparticles are single-phase, without additional impurities, have a narrow size distribution and are in the superparamagnetic phase. From the RD measurements, it was found that with an increase in the Zn content from x = 0 to x= 1.0, the sizes of nanoparticles increasing from 17 to 33 nm. Analysis of the Mössbauer spectroscopy data showed that when doped with Zn ions from x=0 to x=1.0, the sizes of nanoparticles decreasing from 15 nm to 5 nm. The results of the Mossbauer studies showed that both ZnxFe3-xO4 and ZnxFe3-xO4@PAC has a core/shell type structure in which the core is magnetically ordered, whereas the shell does not have magnetic ordering. Mossbauer studies indicate that the coating of citric acid particles leads to their isolation from each other, a decrease or elimination of interactions between particles, a decrease in the thickness of the paramagnetic shell, and, due to this, an increase in the diameter of the core.

People choose how and if to generate and disclose not just personal genomic data, but also multiple other types of personal health and non-health related data. To contextualize choices about genetic testing and genetic data disclosure, we explored perspectives of genomic data privacy and disclosure compared to other types of data. We conducted a qualitative focus group study with adult members of an integrated U.S. health system, using administrative data to stratify our sample by age and by race/ethnicity. Discussion topics included qualities, rights, benefits and harms of disclosure of genomic, health, family history and non-health related data. We conducted thematic template analysis using verbatim transcripts. The sample (n = 24) was 67% female, mean age 54.1 years (range 23-88), and 37% people of color; 71% reported college degree. Participants considered genetic data, but not other data types, as a permanent, core part of the individual self and as protected health information under current laws. Participants did not feel that individuals had a right to family medical history disclosure from their relatives. Participants assumed high levels of privacy protections of genetic and other health-related data, but no perceived privacy or protection around other personal data. Participants weighed benefits and risks of generation and disclosure of all data types; harms were more far-reaching for non-health data, possibly related to the perceived lack of protections around these data. People make privacy-related choices about genetic testing in the context of related considerations for multiple types of data and rely on perceived privacy protections under current U.S. health privacy laws. Genetic research and screening programs should consider providing clear guidance on privacy protections afforded to genetic information in U.S. clinical settings. Future research should examine connections between privacy-related views on genetic and multiple other types of personal data.

Published: October 2022

BACKGROUND

Type 2 diabetes is 2 to 3 times more common among people with severe mental illness (SMI). Self-management is crucial, with additional challenges faced by people with SMI. Therefore, it is essential that any diabetes self-management program for people with SMI addresses the unique needs of people living with both conditions and the inequalities they experience within health care services.

OBJECTIVE

We combined theory, empirical evidence, and co-design approaches to develop a type 2 diabetes self-management intervention for people with SMI.

METHODS

The development process encompassed 4 steps: step 1 involved prioritizing the mechanisms of action (MoAs) and behavior change techniques (BCTs) for the intervention. Using findings from primary qualitative research and systematic reviews, we selected candidate MoAs to target in the intervention and candidate BCTs to use. Expert stakeholders then ranked these MoAs and BCTs using a 2-phase survey. The average scores were used to generate a prioritized list of MoAs and BCTs. During step 2, we presented the survey results to an expert consensus workshop to seek expert agreement with the definitive list of MoAs and BCTs for the intervention and identify potential modes of delivery. Step 3 involved the development of trigger films using the evidence from steps 1 and 2. We used animations to present the experiences of people with SMI managing diabetes. These films were used in step 4, where we used a stakeholder co-design approach. This involved a series of structured workshops, where the co-design activities were informed by theory and evidence.

RESULTS

Upon the completion of the 4-step process, we developed the DIAMONDS (diabetes and mental illness, improving outcomes and self-management) intervention. It is a tailored self-management intervention based on the synthesis of the outputs from the co-design process. The intervention incorporates a digital app, a paper-based workbook, and one-to-one coaching designed to meet the needs of people with SMI and coexisting type 2 diabetes.

CONCLUSIONS

The intervention development work was underpinned by the MoA theoretical framework and incorporated systematic reviews, primary qualitative research, expert stakeholder surveys, and evidence generated during co-design workshops. The intervention will now be tested for feasibility before undergoing a definitive evaluation in a pragmatic randomized controlled trial.
Understanding the Adoption and Use of Digital Mental Health Apps Among College Students: Secondary Analysis of a National Survey (Preprint)
Authors: Bautista Justine , Schueller Stephen M
Published: October 2022

BACKGROUND

Increasing rates of mental health diagnoses in college students signal the need for new opportunities to support the mental health of this population. With many mental health apps being efficacious, they may be a promising resource for college campuses to provide support to their students. However, it is important to understand why (or why not) students might want to use apps and their desired features.

OBJECTIVE

Information on students’ interest in mental health apps may inform which apps are to be provided and how campuses can support their use. This study aimed to understand the interest and hesitation in app use and the relationship between mental health needs, as defined by depression, anxiety, and positive mental health, and app use.

METHODS

The web-based Healthy Minds Study collected information on mental health needs, perceptions, and service use across colleges and universities. We used a sample of 989 participants who completed the survey between 2018 and 2020 and an elective module on digital mental health. We analyzed the elective module responses using a mixed methods approach, including both descriptive and inferential statistics, along with thematic coding for open text responses.

RESULTS

The Results from this study revealed that anxiety (b=−0.07; P<.001), but not depression (b=0.03; P=.12) and positive mental health (b=−0.02; P=.17), was a significant predictor of app adoption. Prominent qualitative findings indicated that the most desired app features included tips and advice, access to resources and information, and on-demand support that involves interaction throughout the day. The participants also suggested an overall desire for human interaction to be integrated into an app. As predicted, hesitancy was encountered, and the qualitative results suggested that there was a lack of interest in the adoption of mental health app and preference.

CONCLUSIONS

The findings from this study underscore that simply providing digital mental health apps as tools may be insufficient to support their use in college campuses. Although many students were open to using a mental health app, hesitation and uncertainty were common in the participant responses. Working with colleges and universities to increase digital literacy and provide resources that allow students to gauge when app use is appropriate may be helpful when implementing mental health apps as resources in college campuses.

Gynura procumbens has been widely used to treat several health disorders, such as hyperglycemia, hypertension, diabetes, and allergies. This study aimed to determine the flavonoid content of G. procumbens cultured in a balloon-type bubble bioreactor using various sucrose concentrations (10, 30, and 50 g/L) and explant densities (5, 10, and 15 explants). The plant parts used were stem nodes of G. procumbens, grown in a balloon-type bubble bioreactor using Murashige and Skoog (MS) liquid media with IAA 2 mg/L and BAP 4 mg/L. The total flavonoid content was measured using a UV-Vis spectrophotometer (λ= 510 nm), and the flavonoid profile was tested using thin-layer chromatography (TLC). The administration of 10 g/L sucrose produced the highest total flavonoid production. In the treatment of explant density, the most increasing total flavonoid production was obtained in the treatment of 5 explants. The TLC results showed that each treatment forms spots like standard. This study proved that sucrose and explant densities culture on balloon-type bubble bioreactor method had optimized the production of flavonoids of plant shoots of G. procumbens culture.

Even with all the evolution achieved by humanity, it is still possible to identify in several societies that there are people in extreme poverty. Combating this sad reality is a task not only for governments but for all those who make up this society. In Brazil, the commitment to the fight against extreme poverty formed the agenda of the social democratic governments that commanded national politics during the first two decades of the 21st century. Recognized by international agencies as a successful example of a government program aimed at the socio-economic inclusion of the most needy part of society, the Brasil Sem Miséria Plan - PBSM focused on creating structuring conditions so that individuals, in extreme poverty, could enter the job market, managing to obtain an income capable of granting them social inclusion, dignity, food sovereignty and financial freedom. In this sense, the present study aims to discuss the integrated and articulated practices promoted within the scope of the PBSM with small beekeepers in the semi-arid region of Pernambuco, especially in the municipality of Quixaba - PE. Beekeepers benefited from the program, and how the combination of actions developed by the government, society, and producers managed to change the living conditions of this group, and how these practices can be used as an example for other locations.

Abstract: In addition to traditional web technologies, semantic web technology allows the implementation of the "web of things" and "web of linked data," enabling both machines and humans to access the web. The ultimate objective is to allow machines to do increasingly complex tasks and to design systems that can support network interactions. This goal may be realized by merging several linked data technologies, such as RDF, SPARQL, OWL, and SKOS (W3C Org, 2014). In this project, the authors integrated semantic web technologies into the software to illustrate their use. This study describes in detail the design and functionality of the apps, as well as how the semantic web technology principles were implemented. The authors followed the principles and best practices outlined in W3C documents and directed by the first author. The authors exerted a great deal of work to evaluate the acquired data and have begun the project by locating suitable datasets from various data sources (heterogeneous data sources). Following this, more attempts were made to cleanse and verify the data. This generated dataset was subsequently pushed to the selected triple store on application start-up. The ontology design and project architecture are described in full in this study. The project's stack and implementation has been discussed in this report.

Published: October 2022

A violência contra a mulher assim como a COVID-19 é um fenômeno pandêmico, que atinge todas as camadas sociais. O objetivo deste estudo foi conhecer as relações entre o abuso psicológico, a autoestima e a dependência emocional de mulheres durante a pandemia, sob a ótica da teoria do vínculo traumático. Contamos com 222 mulheres, a maioria heterossexual (76,6 %), namorando (53,3 %) ou casadas (44,1 %). Os resultados demonstraram que quanto maior o abuso psicológico, menor é a autoestima e maior a dependência do cônjuge. Um modelo alternativo também foi confirmado, demonstrando que quanto maior a dependência, maior a susceptibilidade em manter relacionamentos abusivos e a baixa autoestima intensifica esse processo de caráter cíclico. Além disso, observamos que mulheres que convivem em tempo integral com parceiros durante o isolamento social apresentaram maior abuso psicológico e dependência exclusiva.

Authors: Al-jubouri Muhanad
Published: October 2022

The Transport is among the most significant human activities on the planet. Better transportation allows for more trading and a wider distribution of people. Transportation infrastructure like bridges and roads significantly influences the environment and is the primary energy drainer, making transportation sustainability a key concern. This paper also analyses current bridge scour and road potholes detection equipment and methodologies and their effect on the transport system. In scouring regards, a particular emphasis on those uses the structure’s complex reaction to suggest the presence and severity of the scouring phenomena affecting the structure. A Sensitivity Analysis of a newly introduced monitoring system is also assumed. This report examines the similarities and differentials between the bridges scour detection methods and potholes methods. Our key aim is to minimize human effort in identifying road potholes and bridge scouring by using a quick, easy-to-use, cost-effective process, resulting in fewer injuries and economic savings. On the other hand, many initiatives have been taken to create a technology that can instantly identify and detect potholes, leading to improved survey reliability and pavement quality through prior inspection and prompt intervention.

Published: October 2022

Background: Comprehensive wound assessments are critical in identifying potential complications that affect wound healing and determining appropriate interventions for the patient. A wound care device (WCD) comprising a mobile device integrated with multi-spectral sensors that can capture stereoscopic and thermal images was recently introduced. A trial was conducted to assess potential productivity gains of the device.Methods: A total of 30 inpatients who required wound care were recruited and assessed via a time motion study. For every patient recruited in this study, wound measurements and documentation steps were repeated twice for a total of 55 wounds, once using the WCD and the other using a conventional manual process, with the order of assessment determined using a random group assignment generator. A t-test was used for statistical analysis.Results: The use of the WCD had a mean process time 4.86 minutes shorter than the conventional manual process (P<0.001). This constituted an increase in productivity by 44% for wound measurement, photography, and documentation. With estimated time savings of 5 minutes per patient, this amounts to 6,631 hours per year or a total of 3.42 nursing full-time equivalent savings per year based on an estimated load of 218 patients per day requiring wound care at an acute care institution in Singapore.Conclusion: The adoption of a mobile WCD has potential to improve work productivity and result in full-time equivalent savings for wound care nurses. Most importantly, the WCD could provide clinically beneficial outcomes for the patient by enhancing the management and documentation of wound care.
