The Potential for an Impending Sea-Level Rise
Authors: McLeod Sarah
Published: September 2019

Sea level rise has become one of the most discussed topics regarding climate change. In the past the sea level has been known to rise several meters during interglacial periods. The rapid spread of human populations and new technological innovations have led to an outpouring of carbon dioxide over the centuries causing the global mean temperature to rise by 0.8°C. This slight increase in temperature has raised sea level from thermal expansion of the ocean and is having a dramatic effect on the cryosphere. Retreating glaciers continue to contribute to the current rate of sea level rise but the potential for the Greenland and Antarctic ice sheets to melt from increasing global temperatures could raise the ocean by more than 1 m this century. Low-lying developing countries such as Bangladesh and Vietnam are the most vulnerable to a rise in sea level due to lack of infrastructure, high population densities, and geographic locations situated on a delta. In the developed world, Australia and Italy are at risk areas due to large populations found along the coast in both countries. If the rate of mass loss from glaciers and ice sheets continue a future sea level rise is imminent.
Dwelling together: A visual approach to an ecovilage's sense of place
Authors: Taggart Jonathan
Published: September 2019

This paper and photographic essay present an empirical characterization and theoretical treatment of an ecovillage. Informed by the principles of sensory ethnography, my representation aims to describe and interpret an ecovillage as a place defined by practice. The author approaches this characterization from a dwelling perspective, emphasizing the performances of ecovillagers in a series of photographic and textual vignettes. The author concludes that an ecovillage may be considered, in part, as a place where familiar tasks are undertaken in unfamiliar ways in a vast and varied physical and social landscape.

Sweden—the world´s most sustainable country: Political statements and goals for a sustainable society
Authors: Mansson Maria
Published: September 2019

Sweden, a small country with almost 10 million inhabitants, is the world’s most sustainable country according to some reports that compare environmental, social, and governance components between nations. Sweden plays a significant role in the European Union’s work for a sustainable society in the European Union. Strict environmental policies and governmental initiatives that encourage all members of the society to invest in climate change projects are among the reasons that put Sweden on top of sustainable ranking lists. During the 2015 United Nations Climate Change Conference in Paris, a number of goals were agreed upon and formalized as the Paris Agreement. One important aspect of the Paris Agreement is that there has to be collaboration between nations in the work against global warming. Sweden is already taking steps to achieve many of the goals set out in the 2015 UN Climate Conference as its government has established robust environmental policies. One such agency, Naturvårdsverket (the Swedish Environmental Protection Agency), is responsible for monitoring the state of the environment. Naturvårdsverket’s work is largely influenced by Sweden’s national environmental objectives. One generational goal, sixteen environmental quality objectives and 24 milestone targets define the direction of environmental work in Sweden, within the EU, and internationally. It is with frameworks like the national environmental objectives and governmental initiatives that encourage members of the society to actively participate in the work for climate change, that the Swedish government develops and implements its environmental policy.
Competing on Climate Change: An interprovincial, longitudinal review of emerging environmental risks to Canadian homeowners
Authors: Henley Adam J
Published: September 2019

In an era of accelerated climate change, Canadian homeowners face growing financial exposures to environmental risks, and climate-related property damage now represents the largest aggregate cause of losses in the global insurance industry (Mills, 2012, p. 1424). This study presents data regarding hydrological, meteorological, and wildfire disasters occurring in Canadian provinces from 1970 to 2010. The rising incidence of natural disasters suggests that natural disasters are affecting an increasing number of Canadians across all provinces. In light of this data, the researcher recommends that Canadian insurers implement a “4-C” strategy to help reduce the human impact of future natural disasters: (1) Coaching local communities to adapt to climate change; (2) Consensus-building around common consumer risks; (3) Collaborating with governments to protect against catastrophic losses; and (4) Cooperating with consumers to co-insure frequent events. Finally, it is recommended that risk capital be invested carefully and sustainably, so that the 4-Cs is customized to address emerging challenges specific to each climate zone.
A Future Without Spectacle: A Refuge from Cultural Hegemony in Contemporary Art and Neo-Humanism
Authors: MacDonald Emily Lynn
Published: September 2019

Abstract This paper explores possibilities for the future of popular culture. Central to the arguments in this paper, is the search for a remedy to a visual culture that has been left deconstructed and fragmented by a Western obsession with postmodernism. This paper begins with a discussion of Boris Groy’s “society of spectacle without spectators” (2012) and the ramifications of such an observation as homological to the state of contemporary art and the human subject. A discussion of the works of modern and contemporary artists is used to illustrate contemporary art’s metonymic relationship to the future of popular culture. Specific examples are explored such as German photographer and film maker Thomas Demand’s works that create a “critical fiction” Liljegren (2013) to highly engage the spectator and are juxtaposed with postmodern speculations such as Baudrillard’s simulacra.
Understanding the Freemasons: A Qualitative Analysis
Authors: Kennedy Chelsea
Published: September 2019

This paper quantitatively examines the Freemasons, an ancient group known for the secrecy surrounding the group. Through the use of interviews with a member of the Freemasons and a content analysis performed on a documentary regarding the conspiracies associated with the group this study attempts to determine what information is available to non-members about the group and how accurate that information is. The themes and patterns found in the interviews and the documentary were compared in order to determine the accuracy of the information available to non-members, on the assumption that the responses from the participant are truthful and can therefore be used as a guide to analyze the information presented in the documentary.

Population Aging and the Future of Canadian Healthcare
Authors: Bezuko Jayne
Published: September 2019

The population of the world is aging, and the aging population should not be considered to be an insignificant contributor to increasing healthcare costs in Canada. This paper will explore the effects of aging on the healthcare system in Canada, and will address issues such as chronic illnesses associated with aging, fragmentation of healthcare services, use of an acute care model, and lack of specialized gerontological nursing education programs as contributing factors to why aging is a significant cost driver in healthcare. In addition, this paper will provide recommendations to transform Canada’s healthcare system in order to deliver sustainable and cost-effective healthcare for all.
Where Patriarchy, Gender, and Verdicts Collide: Servant Theft Against their Masters in England during the Late Seventeenth and Early Eighteenth Centuries
Authors: Letawsky Sarah
Published: September 2019

Servant theft against their masters during the late seventeenth and early eighteenth centuries was common and influenced by societal expectations and regulations.  Strict guidelines dictated prescriptive notions of servant behaviour, which could be difficult for servants to maintain. With limited freedom under a system of service influenced by patriarchy and religion, servants chose to commit theft offences to provide a solution to their circumstances.  Male and female servants usually stole items that corresponded to their occupational roles.  By examining fifteen court cases tried at The Old Bailey, one can see that male and female servants demonstrated similar levels of criminality, but female servants often received harsher punishment for their thefts than male servants due to the patriarchal framework of early modern English sociaty.
Immobilizing the Catholic Foe: A 'Popery' of Protestation in London 1780
Authors: Weisenberger Hannah Anina
Published: September 2019

The Gordon Riots of 1778 were one of the most violent public demonstrations of the century in London, and represent the culmination of an explosive religious and political climate in late 18th century England. This paper examines the nature and extent of the riots as well as details of specific rioters to shed light on the fact that even among London’s lower orders there existed a deep and complex set of beliefs about how British society should be structured. While on the surface the riots may appear to be simply yet another expression of xenophobia, they were connected to a growing nationalism tied to religion, global economics, and a strained domestic situation. I argue that the methodical, discriminate nature of the riots reflects the deeply held belief in the rightful supremacy of Protestantism as essential to the identity and security of Britain and demonstrates that anti-Catholicism could unify different social classes under a single cause.
Fighting the Fear: Everyday Terror in the American Short Story Collection after 9/11 A Study of Jennifer Egan’s A Visit from the Goon Squad and Elizabeth Strout’s Olive Kitteridge
Authors: Kruger Rae-Lee
Published: September 2019

Jennifer Egan’s A Visit from the Goon Squad and Elizabeth Strout’s Olive Kitteridge represent the emphatic force that can be created within a short story collection and each contain at their core what has become a fundamental aspect of American literature since September 2001: terror. In A Visit from the Goon Squad and Olive Kitteridge, characters feel and attempt to cope with terror in their everyday lives. Both Egan and Strout contextualize individual terror against the broader national and cultural form felt by the United States after the events of 9/11. The presence of the void left by the Twin Towers is a potent symbol of terror within each collection, paralleling the characters’ experiences with that of post-9/11 America while highlighting the existence of everyday terror and providing a lens for character self-reflection. This essay focusses on two categories of terror that figure into both collections, terror of the unknown and terror of being alone, and how strategies employed by Egan’s and Strout’s characters to cope with this terror correspond to the American public response to the wider terror instilled by 9/11.

First-hand cigarette smoking is known to result in adverse health effects in adults, influencing wellbeing physically and mentally. The most prevalent physical consequences are cardiovascular diseases, cancer of the throat and oral cavities, diseases of the bowel, eye, respiratory system, and reproductive system. Arguably, direct effects of tobacco smoking have been said to affect mental aspects of wellbeing such as depression, mood, and anxiety disorders. Undoubtedly smoking comes with many negative effects, but with implementation of smoking cessation strategies, it is possible to strengthen the overall health and wellbeing of smokers. As such, Health Canada recognizes the many health benefits associated with smoking cessation, by delivering health-promoting campaigns that strongly urge, it is not too late to quit.
Theoretical analyses of chemical and magnesium and silica isotope fractionation during vaporization of ca-al-inclusion of chondrite
Authors: Yakovlev O. I. , Shornikov S. I.
Published: September 2019

Experimental study of changes in the composition of Ca-Al-inclusions of chondrites during evaporation indicates a close relationship of chemical and isotopic fractionation of this substance. The theoretical description of the coupling is carried out using the equations of the evaporation rate of the melt component (the Hertz-Knudsen equation) and isotope Rayleigh fractionation. The form of Rayleigh equation taken in foreign literature, derived from the Hertz-Knudsen equation, faces difficulties in interpreting experimental data. The discrepancy between the experimental and model data is explained by the fact that the «ideal» isotope fractionation factor used in the Rayleigh equation does not take into account its dependence on the temperature and composition of the evaporating melt. The article presents an alternative expression of the Rayleigh equation and a new expression of the rate of evaporation of Hertz-Knudsen, taking into account the activity of the melt component. The activity of the component is determined by the acidity-basicity index of the melt Ca-Al-inclusion, which, in turn, affects the evaporative fractionation of magnesium and silicon isotopes.

OPPORTUNITY PENDIDIKAN: TRANSFORMASI DI ERA DISRUPSI DAN REVOLUSI INDUSTRI 4.0
Authors: Duryat Masduki
Published: September 2019

ABSTRACT

Disruption is an innovation. This is an innovation that will replace the entire old system with new ways. Disruption has the potential to replace old players with new ones. Disruption replaces old technology with digital technology that produces something completely new and more efficient and more useful. Whereas in the Industrial 4.0 era, machines and factories will be connected, exchange data, work together, and make independent decisions collectively. The Industrial Age 4.0 offers time and resource efficiency, cost savings, increased income, agility, and innovation for the industry. The old industry or incumbent will be replaced by a more efficient new-style industry. Therefore this disruption must be anticipated so that we can see new opportunities in the future. In the context of education—especially high education— as a printer of skilled human resources—must be prepared with 4 C skills (creativity, critical thinking, communication and collaboration) must be thoroughly prepared because in this sophisticated era humans will co-exist with smart machines at workplace. Education must change, if not, then in 30 years we will face a big problem. Everything we teach should be different from machines — everything that is taught must make humans different from machines. Humans as products of education, must still have ethics/morals—because religion is truly a source of value/ethics—which must be implemented through education (Islam) in this disruption era.

Analysis of main indices of world steel industry presented, as well as those of some countries and of Russia for 2017– 2018. Dynamics and structure of production, consumption, export and import of main kinds of Russian steel industry products by results of 2018. In 2018 growth of world consumption amounted to near 80 Mt to the level of 2017, the main input made by Asian region. Its share amounted to near 90% of the growth, mainly by China. Excluding China, the Asian region amounted to 13% of the growth. Russia takes the 7th place in the world rating by steel consumption in 2018, by consumption per capita – the 16th position. In 2018 in Russia, 71.8 Mt of steel were produced, amounting to 6th place in the world rating. By results of 2018 Russian plants increased production of steel, finished rolled products and steel pipes comparing with 2017. The volumes of world trading by steel products keep growing. The world export by volume is estimated as 454.5 Mt. Countries with the biggest share of steel export of production volume presented. By the results of 2018 the steel industry of Russia is still export-oriented industry and keeps the 5th position among countries with the highest share of steel products export in the production and the 3rd place by the volumes of export shipping. During the last years the Russia’ external trade by ferrous metals is characterized by increase of export and import volumes. Structure of Russian finished rolled products export and import presented, as well as geography of supplies. The share of import rolled products in the domestic consumption amounted to about 14%. Main countries – net exporters and net importers of steel products presented. Russia being a net importer on the whole, takes the 3rd position by volumes. However, during several years by some groups of rolled products, Russia is a net importer. The domestic market is surely a key one for Russian plants. Howeve, the Russian plant not always manage to compete with cheaper import. Besides, some kinds of products are produced in insufficient volumes.
Electromagnetic stirring in billet CCM molds and continuously casted billet quality
Authors: Shakhov S. I. , Vdovin K. N.
Published: September 2019

Electromagnetic stirring (EMS) is one of methods to improve the quality of continuously casted billet. Under EMS impact nonmetallic inclusions are removed out of the solidification area and move to the center of meniscus of liquid metal. Besides, high speeds of convection flows in the liquid metal avoid the remaining of gases at the crystallization border and decrease therefore the number of gas bubbles under metal shell. This mechanism of EMS action in a mold results in decreasing of gas bubbles under the metal shell and impurities in continuously casted billet. Operation of a billet CCM was studied at Moldavsky steel-works, where an EMS stator was imbedded into the mold. Influence of EMS on the quality of continuously casted billet was studied. The work was accomplished in several stages. First, the EMS system with a test mold with electromagnetic stirrer was studied for casting of 135×135 mm billets and 800 mm long, next 125×125 mm billet and 1000 mm long and then 125×125 mm billet and 800 mm long. Main comparative parameters of used EMS systems in the mold presented in the article. All the molds-EMS systems were designed based on existing regular molds so that they could be installed at the CCM without changing the existing oscillation frame and water input and output piping. As a result of templates metal science studies cut out of test and regular metal, influence of EMS in the mold on the billet macro structure was revealed, comparing with a standard strand. The following phenomena were studied: decrease of average degree of cracks and liquation strips along the billet section, of cracks in the billet axis zone, central pore volume and border point contaminations; increase of axis liquation degree (but liquation became more distributed), decrease of carbon axis liquation coefficient in high carbon steels. The average growth values of equiaxed crystal zone at the templates of test heats with EMS amounted for 55% at high carbon steels comparing with regular billet templates, at the middle carbon steels – 48%, at the low carbon steels – 92%. The elaborated EMS system in the mold allows improving considerably the quality of continuously casted billets.

Authors: Cuong Dang Kien , Dam Duong Ton , Duong Duong Ton Thai , Ngo Du Thuan
Published: September 2019

The jump-diffusion stochastic process is one of the most common forms in reality (such as wave propagation, noise propagation, turbulent flow, etc.), and researchers often refer to them in models of random processes such as Wiener process, Levy process, Ito-Hermite process, in research of G. D. Nunno, B. Oksendal, F. B. Hanson, etc. In our research, we have reviewed and solved three problems: (1) Jump-diffusion process (also known as the Ito-Levy process); (2) Solve the differential equation jump-diffusion random linear, in the case of one-dimensional; (3) Calculate the Wiener-Ito integral to the random Ito-Hermite process. The main method for dealing with the problems in our presentation is the Ito random-integrable mathematical operations for the continuous random process associated with the arbitrary differential jump by the Poisson random measure. This study aims to analyse the basic properties of jump-diffusion process that are solutions to the jump-diffusion linear stochastic differential equations: dX(t) = [a (t)X (t􀀀)+A(t)]dt + [b (t)X (t􀀀 ∫ )+B(t)]dW (t) + R0 [g (t; z)X (t􀀀)+G(t; z)] ¯N (dt;dz) with a set of stochastic continuous functions fa;b ;g ;A;B;Gg and assuming that the compensated Poisson process ¯N (t; z) is independent of the Wiener process W(t). Derived from the Ito-Hermite formulas for the Ito-Hermite process and for the Ito-Levy process class we presented the results for the differential and multiple stochastic integration for the Ito- Hermite process. We also provided a separation method to solve jump-diffusion linear differential equations.

Owing to its geographical location, Istria was not directly exposed to the devasta- tion in the fourth and fifth centuries, when it avoided both the civil wars and the migratory movements accompanied by invasions of wandering barbarian tribes. After the victory of Christianity, newly created city elites, with the bishop at the helm, had, since the early fifth century, managed the construction activities in cities, primarily relating to monumental projects, which altered the physical appearance of the cityscape. Local peculiarities are often considered as one of the most import- ant factors both for the process of change and for the endurance of the preexist- ing values in political and religious life. Recent studies, however, suggest that the transformation of post-Roman cities was not exclusively a consequence of intense Christianization. The emergence of the new city elite was the result of a conscious effort by the representatives of state authorities. This phenomenon is noticeable as early as the Late Roman Empire and persisted during the times of the barbar- ian states of Odoacer and Theoderic. In Istria it is most evident during Byzantine reign when the intertwining of political and religious spheres is the clearly visible in post-classical urban centres. This phenomenon can be detected thanks to a greater number of written and material sources. The events that took place in the aftermath of the Byzantine-Gothic war and Justinianʼs reconquest of the former Arian regions between 535 and 555 were an intentional reaction of the Byzantine political and religious power centres. Their primary objective was the cleansing of the vestiges of the Arian heresy, followed by the construction of new Christian edifices. The spon- sors of these building projects were Justinian himself, then bishops, state officials and members of the aristocracy. Justinianʼs conquest of the territories of the Ostro- gothic Kingdom between the Alps and the Adriatic Sea – including Istria – caused not only social-political, but also religious-political changes. The transformation of Ravenna into a political power centre during the reign of Theoderic also marks a turning point for the historical development of Istria, although one should consider the situation on the peninsula before the onset of Byzantine rule, as well.
Science and the New Age. Pseudo-Pulaʼs alchemists in Croatian New Age trans- mutation into gold: about the book Croatian Alchemists through the Centuries by Snježana Paušek-Baždar
Authors: Kalčić Miodrag
Published: September 2019

In the Middle Age and the Early Modern Times alchemy (transmutation into gold or chrysopoeia) was a widespread art and a popular craft of creating artificial gold. Because if failed to produce any practical results it shifted from the initial experimental practice (proto-chemistry) ever more to mysticism and spirituality. In Snježana Paušek-Baždar’s Croatian Alchemists through the Centuries alchemy is seen almost exclusively from this supernatural and super-sensory point of view, ignoring the history of natural sciences, and especially chemistry. Cited sources and the preference for Christian mysticism and esotericism clearly revealthe authorʼs unscientific approach to alchemy, one that is best suited for the pro-Western syncretic and eclectic social movement (and ideology) of improvised merging of the various incomparable beliefs, orientations, cosmic teachings and contemporary sciences, the New Age and the plethora of deriving pseudosciences, where modern alchemy appears to have found its home.
Nine alchemists are represented in this highly acclaimed (both from the public and Croatian scientific community) book Croatian Alchemists through the Centuries: Barbara of Cilli, Daniel Justinopolitanus, Pietro Buono, John the Cleric, Frederik Grisogono, Giulio Camillo Delminio, Giovanni Bratti, Ivan Leopold Payer and Ignjat Martinović. Critical, scientific and historical analysis of these alleged Croatian alchemists determined that none of them deserve the epithet ʼCroatian Alchemistʼ: they either were not alchemists in the true sense of the word, or do not belong to the Croatian ethnical corps. According to Paušek-Baždar, three of them were from Pula (Daniel Justinopolitanus, Pietro Buono and Giovanni Bratti), which is a historical fabrication since only Pietro Buono spent a short time in Pula. Moreover their ethnic affiliation was certainly not Croatian. The other five men and one woman may have sporadically dabbled in alchemy, so they can, at best, be considered quasi- or semi-alchemists. Again, the Croatian nationality of than a some of these is rather questionable.
The New Age approach of Croatian Alchemists Through the Centuries is alchemically unconvincing and ethnically (Croatian) manipulative, full of esoteric mists, astrological shadows, Christian mysteries, gnostic spectres, hermetic gloom, historical fictions, superficial interpretations, and tendentious explanations. In conclusion, the book is a historically arbitrary and scientifically unfounded New Age, pseudo-science.

Diarrhea is one of the first causes of morbidity and mortality among children, especially in poor and developing countries including Vietnam. For decades, although Vietnam has implemented different health interventions to suppress diarrhea spread, this disease has been continuously concerned as a national health problem. Hence, the aim of this study was to assess ethnic minority mothers’ knowledge, attitude and practice (KAP) associated with diarrhea in children under 5 years old; Then to find out the correlation among KAP, and discover some factors related to good knowledge, positive attitude, correct practice about diarrhea in under 5-year old children of the mothers at Pediatrics Department of Daklak General Hospital, 2014.

A community based cross-sectional study was carried out from September 2013 to July 2014 at Pediatrics Department - Daklak General Hospital with the participation of 153 ethnic mothers who has children with diarrhea. The mothers were interviewed directly following the questionnaire, whose structure was adapted from the World Health Organization (WHO) and author Hau Van Pham. The collected data were checked for completeness, consistency and then entered into Epidata 3.1 and analyzed using SPSS 20.

The data from 153 participants showed that the ethnic mothers had good knowledge accounted for 39.9%, whereas more than half of ethnic mothers (64.7%) had a positive attitude towards prevention of diarrhea among under-five children. However, the correct practice in taking care of children with diarrhea was not high (40.5%). As expected, there was statistically significant correlation between the mothers’ knowledge and their attitudes (p < 0.001), as well as their practice toward diarrhea treatment (p=0.005). Analyzed data exhibited that knowledge of the mothers about diarrhea was influenced by their differences in socio-demographic factors, including educational level (p<0.001), occupation (p=0.002) and an ability to access information related to diarrhea in children under 5 (p<0.001). Similarly, the socio-demographic factor (p=0.028) and access to information about diarrhea (p<0.001) have an effect the correct practice in the prevention of diarrhea. There was a statistically significant correlation between the correct practice in preventing diarrhea and the socio-demographic factor, including the mothers’ educational level (p<0.001) and the occupation (p=0.021).
The influence of Viburnum opulus polyphenolic compounds on metabolic activity and migration of HeLa and MCF cells

Published: September 2019

In recent years, research of antitumor activity of natural compounds isolated from plant material has increased. Polyphenols have gained significant attention due to their proapoptotic abilities and their involvement in migration and inhibition of metastasis processes. The anticancer effects of polyphenolic extracts of Viburnum opulus fruit against human breast (MCF-7) and cervical (HeLa) cancer cell lines have been confirmed in this study. It was demonstrated that the tested preparations (methanol – M and acetone – A from pomace, juice – J and juice after extraction to the solid phase SPE – PF) show cytotoxic activity and regulate the migration process of cancer cells. The degree of inhibition of cell migration was measured at two times - 24 h and 48 h after addition of the tested preparations. The highest toxicity towards both cell lines was demonstrated by the polyphenol fraction obtained after juice purification SPE (IC50 values at concentration of 63,541 and 19,380 μg/mL for HeLa and MCF cell lines, respectively). At the same time, the same preparation inhibited cell migration the most (nearly 70% compared to controls at both times at the concertation of 15 and 30 μg/mL). All preparations showed the antioxidant ability, but the Viburnum opulus juice (200 and 350 g/mL) and the preparation after its purification (15 and 30 μg/mL) have larger ability to inhibit the intracellular oxidative stress (30-40%) than preparation obtained from pomace (nearly by 20% at concentration of 20 and 50 μg/mL of M and A). Despite the antioxidative capacity of the preparations, they simultaneously decreased cellular mitochondrial potential. The results obtained indicate the high potential of components of Viburnum opulus polyphenolic compounds can be used in the production of innovative dietary supplements or pharmacological preparations for people with an increased risk or inclination towards developing breast or cervical cancer.

Published: September 2019

The aim of this study was to evaluate the possibility of substituting sugar in crust pastry with natural substitutes, such as stevia, xylitol, coconut sugar as well as dried banana. Furthermore, a comparison of physicochemical properties was carried out. The crust pastry obtained was analyzed in terms of color by CIEL*a*b*, textures, water activity, bake loss, semi-consumer assessments and the nutritional value was calculated. There was a clear impact caused by the sugar substitute on the physicochemical properties and their sensory assessment. The cakes with xylitol had the closest color, smell and taste to the control sample (with sucrose). The cakes with dried banana had a significantly reduced hardness compared to the control sample. The lowest bake loss was observed in the case of pastry with dried banana, while the highest was in the case of xylitol. In sensory analysis, the “Just-about-right” method was used, and pastries with a sweter taste were more desirable (xylitol) and pastry with the stevia substitute showed the lowest desirability. The lowest energy value per 100 g was obtained for stevia (392 kcal/ 100g), while for xylitol energy, the value was reduced by 6%.

«... d’amor o de tristor deus la raho continuar»: sobre un passatge de la «Doctrina de compondre dictatz»
Authors: Barberini Fabio
Published: September 2019

Can the priority of the love topic in the definition of the planh proposed by the Doctrina de compondre dictatz («... d’amor o de tristor deus la raho continuar») be linked to the author’s personal preferences? The answer may perhaps be found in the tradition of Occitan planh and its reception in Catalonia. Only 6 poems, out of 45 texts, deal with a more intimate and private affective dimension (4 planhs for the death of midons; 2 for the death of a friend) and all of them are (also or only) transmitted by troubadour manuscripts compiled in Catalan lands, especially MS Sg, which could constitute a further stage of the materials to which the author of the treatise had access. Documentary evidence supports, then, the hypothesis that, in Catalonia, the lyric type of planh ‘for the death of the Lady’ must have been one of the topical variants of this lyrical composition preferred by readers and compilers of troubadour manuscripts. And this, rather than reasons of personal preference, would explain the definition of planh in the Doctrina.
