Quality, Acceptability and Shelf Life Study of Micronutrient Fortified Indian Traditional Sattu
Authors: Mridula D  , Rita Jain  , K. K. Singh
Published: May 2024

Three different fortified bengal gram and barley based sattu samples were prepared following standardized sattu making process and fortified as per FDA guidelines of flour for vitamins (thiamin, riboflavin, and niacin) and minerals (calcium and iron), packaged in low density polyethylene and laminated aluminium foil pouches and stored at 25o, 35oC and room temperature. Proportion of bengal gram and barley in different sattu samples was 100:0, 50:50 and 75:25. Although some changes in alcoholic acidity and moisture content were observed during 180 days storage period in different sattu samples at all the storage conditions, but these were within the permissible limit as per BIS standard. Free fatty acids also increased at all storage conditions; however it did not affect the degree of sensory acceptability of sattu samples. Protein digestibility in fortified sattu samples with 100:0, 50:50 and 75:25 parts of bengal gram and barley was 80.58%, 76.77% and 78.62%, respectively. Fortified bengal gram sattu provided 27.68% digestible protein, 5.23% fat, 3.21% ash, 1.03% dietary fibre, 396 Kcal, 170 mg calcium, and 12.5 mg iron per 100 g. Fortified sattu samples with 50:50 and 75:25 parts of bengal gram and barley provided 19.49 and 23.58% digestible protein; 3.31 and 4.21% fat; 2.57 and 2.93% ash; 1.45 and 1.11% dietary fibre; 387 and 391 Kcal; 130.78 and 144.58 mg calcium; and 8.39 and 10.4 mg iron per 100 g, respectively. Although the overall quality of the sattu samples stored at different storage condition was within the safe and acceptable limit, but the deterioration was low in sattu samples stored at 25oC (65%RH) in laminated aluminium foil pouches and hence may be considered for safe storage of sattu. Due to safer limit of alcoholic acidity 0.13%, overall nutritional quality, higher mean sensory score for roasted odour (7.61) and flavour and taste (8.14) of stored fortified bengal gram sattu, there is a scope for commercial production of nutritionally balanced bengal gram sattu with vitamins and minerals.
Effect of Pumping Depth on Hydraulic Conductivity Measurement by Auger Hole Method
Authors: Raj Kumar Jhorar  , B. Anjaneyulu
Published: May 2024

The flow dynamics of auger hole method, used for hydraulic conductivity measurements, was examined with the help of streamlines. Values of stream function around an auger hole penetrating to an impervious layer were calculated for different depths of pumped water level in the hole. Streamlines were drawn around an auger hole for four cases of pumped water level- auger hole empty, one-fourth full, half full and threefourth full. Examination of streamlines highlighted the consequence of change in pumped water level on flow toward the auger hole. Contrary to the earlier belief that auger hole measurements give average horizontal saturated hydraulic conductivity of the soil zone from static water table level to the bottom of the auger hole, it is shown that this is true only in case of uniform isotropic soils. It is suggested that the auger hole tests for subsurface drainage design must be conducted with very small amount of pumping (say 25 %) so that the soil region and flow direction used for measurement of saturated hydraulic conductivity adequately represent the soil and flow direction in the actual system. It was also observed that the measured value of saturated hydraulic conductivity, particularly for a soil with variable conductivity with depth, would be more representative of the average if measurements are taken with small depth of water pumped from the hole.

Authors: S. K. Mohanty  , B. K. Behera  , G. C. Satapathy
Published: May 2024

A commercially available pedal paddy thresher was modified and ergonomically evaluated along with the existing thresher. The study revealed that the physiological responses reduced significantly in modified pedal thresher from that of the existing pedal thresher. The HRwork, ΔHR, OCR and relative cost of workload (% of VO2 max), ERR in the modified thresher reduced from 135.9 to 119.4 beat/min, 65.7 to 42.6 beat/min, 0.91 to 0.72 l/min, 53.3 to 42.4 %, 18.9 to 15.0 kJ/min, respectively from that of the existing thresher. The ΔHR (42.6 beat/min) was marginally higher than the limit of continuous performance (LCP) of 40 beat/min. The overall body parts discomfort reduced by 12.7 per cent. The pedal force in modified thresher decreased from 233.3 N to 188.5 N and the pedal strokes increased from 75 to 88 /min, which increased the threshing capacity of the thresher from 26.9 to 36.3 kg/h. The mean body parts discomfort score in case of modified thresher was 5.59 compared to 6.67 for the existing thresher. The increase in HR per kg of grain threshed was 55.63% less in modified thresher than that in the existing thresher. The work intensity of the thresher could be termed as moderate, whereas it was under heavy category for the existing thresher. The modified thresher was found ergonomically better and women-friendly than the existing thresher.

Authors: D S Doharey  , N K Jain  , Sunil Kumar
Published: May 2024

Onion (Alium cepa L.) is an important tuber crop widely used for culinary purposes and pharmaceutical industries. Dried onion powder has gained commercial importance in food industry. The fluidized and convective drying techniques were used for dehydration of onion and the effect of temperature and drying mode on the drying of onion slices were investigated. Increase in drying temperature from 50 to 70°C decreased the drying time from 480 to 360 min under fluidised drying and from 1200 to 900 min under convection drying. Four thin-layer drying equations were investigated for their suitability to describe the drying behaviour of onion slices. The Page model showed the best fit with high values for the coefficient of determination for fluidised and convective drying low values ofχ 2 , EMB and ERMS. Activation energy for fluidised and convective air drying was 44.13 and 11.20 kJ.mol-1, respectively. Quality parameters, like colour, water activity and flavour strength were found to be better for fluidised drying compared to convective type. However, the quality of dried onions was superior at 60oC in both drying modes.

Published: May 2024

Two most common vegetables viz. potato (var. Kufri Ashoka) and tomato (var. Pusa Ruby) were stored in two tonne capacity evaporative cooling storage structure (ECSS) of CIPHET, Ludhiana design constructed at the Post Harvest Technology Centre, CTAE, Udaipur. Microbial load in form of total viable bacterial count and fungal count were recorded at fortnightly / weekly interval taking in to consideration 10% physiological loss in weight under ECSS as acceptable level. Changes in reducing sugar and soluble protein were also estimated. Total viable bacterial count on potato and tomato were lower in ECSS in comparison to ambient storage. The reducing sugar content and soluble protein content change was slower in ECSS than that at ambient storage in both the stored vegetables. The physiological loss in weight (PLW) was about 6 and 11% less in ECSS compared to ambient for potato and tomato storage, respectively.
Iterative Solutions for Alternate Depths in Open Channels
Authors: Sudam Chandra Nayak  , Sagar Chandra Senapati  , Ambika Prasad Sahu
Published: May 2024

Computation of alternate depths (super-critical and sub-critical) for a specific energy was mathematically solved by iteration method for trapezoidal, rectangular, triangular and parabolic channels. The computed values were compared with the graphical method suggested by Chow (1959). The values obtained from graphical method were very close with the values computed by iteration method with variations from -0.20 to 0.40 and -1.38 to 1.00 for sub-critical and super-critical depths, respectively. This justified the correctness and suitability of the iteration method to find out the two alternate depths for a specific energy for different channels.

Stomach content analysis of fish not only helps document their food spectrum but also provides an overview of the food network they are involved in. In this study, we aimed to investigate the food composition of L. guentheri from the Iskenderun Bay, northeastern Mediterranean Sea. Specimens were collected from between January 2022 and August 2022. A total of 215 L. guentheri specimens stomachs were examined during the study for stomach content analysis. About 215 stomachs analysed, 60 (27.9%) stomachs were empty and 155 (72.1%) stomachs contained food items. Analysis of the diet composition showed that the fish are carnivorous and prey on pisces, crustacea, bivalves and cephalopoda. Based on the index of relative importance, pisces were identified as the most important prey (68%), followed by crustaceans (14%), bivalves (5%), cephalopoda (0.5%) and digested materials (12.5%). The results show that L. guentheri has a high feeding tendency to fish. This study increases the knowledge of the feeding preferences of L. guentheri. The present paper is also the first document on the diamondback puffer Lagocephalus guentheri food composition in the Mediterranean Sea.
Preparing Students to be College and Career Ready: The Effect of Career Academy Participation on Student Engagement in College and Career Preparatory Activities
Authors: Fletcher Edward C. , Dumford Amber D.
Published: May 2024

Federal legislation has attempted to move career and technical education (CTE) from a narrow focus on low-wage job attainment for non-college bound youth to programs of study that prepare students for college and career readiness. However, few studies have demonstrated CTEs potential
to prepare students for college. Using propensity score matching, we examined the relationship between student participation in a high performing NAF IT academy compared to a traditional, comprehensive high school on students' engagement in college and career preparatory experiences. We found
that students in the NAF academy engaged in both college and career preparatory activities at significantly higher levels than their traditional, comprehensive student counterparts. Our findings provide implications for policy and for future studies concerning the potential of the career academy
model to prepare students to be college and career ready.
Using Latent Class Analysis to Link Career and Technical Education in Adolescence and Work and School Transitions in Young Adulthood
Authors: Cho-Baker Sugene , Olivera-Aguilar Margarita , Fishtein Daniel
Published: May 2024

Career and technical education (CTE) has recently gained national attention as a means of promoting college and career readiness. However, little is known about the joint trajectories of school and work during and following CTE participation in high school. Using the Educational Longitudinal
Study of 2002, we conducted latent class analyses to examine latent pathways connecting high school CTE participation with employment during high school, as well as the subsequent educational and work transitions. Four latent pathways were identified, defined as: (a) CTE-to-work pathway, (b)
BA-focused pathway, (c) Workfocused pathway, and (d) low-career motivation pathway. Analysis of the precursors revealed that male students tend to follow work-related paths and females tend to take more education-focused paths. Further, higher math and reading test scores, and higher parental
socioeconomic background were associated with a higher likelihood of taking the BA-focused pathway as opposed to the CTE-to-work pathway, and of taking the CTE-to-work pathway compared to the work-focused and low-career motivation pathways. Both the BA-focused and CTE-to-work groups had relatively
higher earnings and job satisfaction compared to the other two latent path groups.
Identification and Counterfactuals for Program Evaluation of Career and Technical Education
Authors: Ross Stephen L. , Brunner Eric , Rosen Rachel
Published: May 2024

This paper considers recent efforts to conduct experimental and quasi-experimental evaluations of career and technical education programs. It focuses on understanding the counterfactual, or control population, for these program evaluations, discussing how the educational experiences
of the control population might vary from those of the treated population and the ways in which the treatment and control populations used for evaluation may differ from each other. The paper begins by discussing the key identification strategies and the associated assumptions used to identify
program effects, including regression and propensity score matching, instrumental variables, regression discontinuity designs, randomized controlled trials, and lottery-based admissions. It then presents a series of case studies evaluating the counterfactual for specific studies that used
each identification strategy.
Exploring the Opportunities, Challenges, and Strategies for Implementing Degree Apprenticeships: Perceptions of Stakeholders at a Community College
Authors: Voeller Jooyoung
Published: May 2024

Recently, apprenticeships have re-emerged as an effective means of preparing young people for the 21st-century workplace (Browning & Nickoli, 2017; OECD, 2018). Especially, community colleges have been actively implementing modern apprenticeships within their degree programs by
offering degree apprenticeships (DAs). The purpose of this qualitative case study is to explore the opportunities, challenges, and strategies of implementing this new degree model as perceived by stakeholders at a community college. Harper College, based in the greater Chicago area, was chosen
as the research site due to its well-established DA programs in modern occupations. The findings suggest that DAs serve as an outstanding tool for Harper to fulfill its core mission as a career technical education provider, successfully enhancing both academic achievement and job readiness
among students Due to the programs' popularity and high completion rate of 66 percent, they also serve as a new income stream for Harper. However, implementing DAs comes with challenges since a paradigm shift is required to bridge the world of education and business. Finally, overall strategies
for designing and delivering DAs are summarized as reconfiguration and coordination: a community college needs to reconfigure their existing resources to fulfill the apprenticeship framework and coordinate with various stakeholders to design and deliver the new learn-and-earn degree pathway.

Authors: Gauthier Thomas
Published: May 2024

Community colleges are the leader in facilitating career and technical education (CTE) and workforce development (WD) programs. However, employers who hire recent graduates of these programs question the quality of the education provided. This qualitative study used a focus group comprised
of manufacturing and engineering professionals in Florida to explore their perspectives on the skills they perceive recent graduates and employees need to succeed in their industry. Ten participants took part in an audio-recorded focus group discussing CTE and WD programs at community colleges.
Findings include three themes, integration of knowledge, practical, and soft skills The study's implications are concerned with State and local policy regarding funding a structure that supports quality and value. Local implications focus on curriculum development, program format, habits of
mind, and the relationship between education and industry.
CTE as Crime Prevention: The Link Between Career and Technical Education and Arrest for Criminal Behavior
Authors: Plasman Jay S. , Passarella Al
Published: May 2024

While prior work has explored the relationship between career-focused educational programming on deviant and criminal behavior for incarcerated and delinquent individuals, there is little empirical evidence as to how career and technical education (CTE) participation in traditional
high school settings may link to later interaction with the criminal justice system as measured by arrest for criminal behavior. We examine how different CTE pathways through high school may predict later arrest for criminal behavior. Using nationally representative, longitudinal data, we
found CTE participation was associated with fewer posthigh school arrests and lower likelihood of ever being arrested after high school. Notably, these relationships differed based on intensity of CTE participation. Implications highlight the unique association between CTE and criminal behavior
and provide further evidence as to the wide-ranging benefits of CTE participation.
New Directions for CTE Research: Opportunities and Priorities
Authors: Dougherty Shaun M.
Published: May 2024

Evidence that high school career and technical education (CTE) can smooth the transition to college and the workforce has grown in the early 21st century. This growth in evidence has occurred alongside a resurgence of interest and recognition in the reality that less than half of new
high school graduates ever complete a postsecondary degree or certificate, and that not all employment requires a bachelor's degree. This paper contextualizes the evidence on impacts of CTE in high school, related literature for CTE in community college, and consider the areas of critical
future needs for research. It does this by placing the early 21st century growth in CTE evidence in context with changes in federal and state policies, highlighting where innovation and change has outpaced the research evidence and created new opportunities to learn.
Career and Technical Education at a Crossroads: A Review of Sociopolitical Issues and Impact in the Field
Authors: Hernandez-Gantes Victor M.
Published: May 2024

In its evolution from vocational education to career and technical education (CTE), the field has been revisited at some critical crossroads. In recent years, the growing political and social turmoil is poised to change public education and may present another important crossroad for
CTE. Although the passing of Perkins V received wide bipartisan political support for CTE, the legislative mandate to ensure the success of all students including historically underserved youth should be tested in the context of greater state and local control for implementation. Thus, the
purpose of this article is to highlight the potential impact of social and political trends on the role and direction of CTE as a viable option for all students to become college and career ready in the new economy. The underlying analysis and perspectives are based on the role of legislation
mandates, relevant literature, social and political trends and issues, and implications for CTE amid the growing sociopolitical polarization in the country.

Throughout agricultural education's 100+ year history, teacher effectiveness/confidence has remained a consistent factor in student achievement. Furthermore, targeted professional development has commonly been used to improve teacher effectiveness/confidence. With 50% of
educators exiting the profession within five years, finding ways to improve teacher effectiveness/confidence will be critical to education???s future success. This study aimed to assess the perceptions of agricultural educators in multiple states on various FFA/SAE, Teaching Methods/Financial,
and Instructional professional development topics and the impact those topics would have on their confidence. Each participant rated the impact of the professional development topics on a Likert scale ranging from 1 = Does Not Impact to 5 = Strongly Impacts. Overall, all teachers,
regardless of career level, collectively chose Career Development Events (CDEs), Leadership Development Events (LDEs), teaching in a greenhouse/wood laboratory/classroom, managing facilities, classroom management, and instructional/curricular development in animal science, agricultural mechanics,
plant systems, and natural resources as the most impactful professional development areas. In addition, a Principal Component Analysis (PCA) also reduced the thirty original professional development topics to seven principal components named: (a) Curriculum PD, (b) SAE Progression and SAE
Record-Keeping PD, (c) Classroom Instruction Progression PD, (d) FFA Management PD, (e) Agricultural Mechanics Instruction PD, (f) Animal Science Instruction PD, and (h) Plant Science Instruction PD. The correlation of individual professional development topics was assessed within each principal
component. As future professional development activities are planned, these topics should be considered due to their impact on the effectiveness/confidence of agricultural educators

На основе известных в литературе работ проанализированы исследования пластической деформации неспеченных порошковых материалов, имеющие большое теоретическое и практическое значение, и выявлены их особенности. В частности, проанализированы теоретические и экспериментальные исследования модифицированной модели текучести Друкера-Прагера, описывающие процесс деформирования неспеченных порошковых материалов. Модель состоит из двух основных участков: прямолинейного - поверхность текучести при сдвиге, и шляпкообразного, пересекающего ось среднего напряжения, на основании чего осуществляется процесс пластического осаживания порошковых частиц. Эти участки связаны друг с другом переходным участком, роль которого при решении задач очень мала. Из других основных участков только к шляпкообразному участку применим ассоциированный закон течения, связанный с условием пластичности. С его помощью можно получить формулы теории пластичности. При этом в модели, представленной двумя основными участками, есть четыре независимых параметра, для определения значения которых обсуждаются методы экспериментальных исследований порошковых образцов. Также проанализированы теоретические формулы пластического деформирования порошкового материала, которые были получены на основе формул теории пластичности для шляпкообразной поверхности модифицированной модели текучести Друкера-Прагера. Показано, что полученные уравнения дадут возможность не только определить компоненты напряжённо-деформированного состояния заготовок из порошкового материала в технологических процессах, но и их текущую пористость. В результате анализа было предложено наиболее удобное уравнение пластичности для теоретического исследования напряженного состояния неспеченных порошковых материалов в процессах уплотнения, а также приведена формула для определения текущей пористости.

Controlled hypertension is a health problem that is closely related to mortality. The prevalence of this disease increases significantly every year throughout the world. Failure in self-awareness results in decreased self-control and decreased self-efficacy, resulting in patients not having regular control and not regularly taking hypertension medication. This study aims to increase the knowledge of female cadres about controlled hypertension. Using pre-test and post-test results of elderly cadres in blood pressure measurement training for hypertensive patients with the T-Test. Inclusion criteria of elderly cadres who have a blood pressure measurement training certificate at the UPTD Tegalampel Public Health Center. The 20 elderly cadres who took part in blood pressure measurement training with using T-Test to see the effect of training for elderly cadres toward blood pressure measurement level of knowledge. Based on the results of the T-Test, there was no significant improvement after health education regarding the prevention and treatment of hypertension (p=0.115). Given to the level of knowledge of elderly cadres regarding blood pressure measurement training. This is caused by increased self-awareness, self-control, and self-efficacy. Efforts to increase the level of knowledge of elderly cadres about controlled hypertension can increase self-awareness by forming a healthy heart group (the hypertension group is supervised regularly and intensively by officers and cadres) by forming a WA group, training elderly cadres with blood pressure measurement training and therapy counseling traditional (guava leaves, garlic, cat's whiskers leaves, ginger, bay leaves, noni, soursop leaves, soak feet in warm water)to increase awareness of controlled hypertension patients in improving healthy lifestyles, namely regular health checks, taking medication regularly.

La bioingeniería de los compuestos volátiles en las plantas
Authors: Buitrago Alexis
Published: May 2024

Las plantas son sistemas complejos generadores de una gran variedad de compuestos bioactivos entre los que se encuentran los terpenos y terpenoides, siendo localizados en las hojas, tallos, flores y frutos. Los mismos son sintetizados en el citoplasma por la unión de sus precursores isopentenil difosfato y dimetilalil difosfato, dando lugar a los homoterpenos, monoterpenos y sesquiterpenos. La producción de las diferentes estructuras terpénicas y su abundancia son condicionadas por la activación de la enzima terpeno sintazas frente a factores bióticos (plantas, bacterias y fitófagos) y abióticos (variación de temperatura, humedad, intensidad de las radiaciones Uv, entre otras); tal es el caso de la acción aleloquímica del (E)-β-cariofileno que contrarresta el ataque del insecto Cotesia sesamiae a los cultivos de maíz, así como la emisión de α-pineno y linalol por las flores de la orquídea Brassavola acaulis con el propósito de atraer las abejas silvestres polinizadoras Euglosa spp., Eulaema spp., Eufriesea spp. y Melipona spp. Por otra parte, la literatura especializada también reporta los beneficios de estas especies químicas para el tratamiento en los seres humanos de ciertas patologías, en ese sentido, se destaca la acción del limoneno sobre la proliferación celular del adenocarcinoma de pulmón (A549), además el efecto bacteriostático del borneol sobre las cepas E. coli, L. monocytogenes, S. aureus y P. aeruginosa, sin dejar de mencionar como influye α-terpineol, β-pineno y α-pineno en la reducción de la expresión de los genes IL-4/IL-13, involucrados en los procesos inflamatorios. Los atributos presentes en estos hidrocarburos aromáticos han permitido su inclusión en diversos productos farmacéuticos, alimenticios y cosméticos, así como, la utilización en las industrias petroquímicas como una fuente alternativa emergente para la producción de energía sostenible derivada de la mezcla de algunos sesquiterpenos con el catalizador ácido heterogéneo Nafion SAC-13, sustituyendo el consumo de combustibles fósiles y minimizando el impacto sobre el cambio climático.
