Working together: Civil Society Working for Food Security in Canada
Authors: Koc Mustafa , MacRae Rod
Published: September 2023

Working Together: Civil Society Input for Food Security in Canada was held on 15-17 June 2001, at Ryerson Polytechnic University, Toronto. This conference was a first in Canada, bringing together representatives of various civil society organizations and networks from every province and territory to develop strategies for increasing Canada’s commitment to Food Security both domestically and internationally.

The conference aimed to:

1. develop a working plan for a civil society based national action plan for food security;

2. assess the contributions of the Canadian government to food security nationally and internationally;

3. make practical policy proposals to provincial and federal governments on achieving the goals of Canada’s Action Plan for Food Security.

The conference was designed as an interactive event, where, besides a number of keynote speakers, participants were also involved in question and answer sessions and workshops on designated topics. Four day-long workshops on four key themes included contributions from some keynote speakers as well as active participation of workshop participants. These themes were:

· Right to Food and Social Justice.

· Sustainable Agriculture and Food Systems.

· Community Health and Food Security.

· Food Security in Canadian Foreign Policy (Aid and Trade).

The proceedings of this conference was compiled by Mustafa Koc and Rod MacRae. We hope that this document will begin a discussion rather than ending it. We see this as a working document to be expanded reflecting our common concerns and the diversity of our special needs.

The conference also passed a resolution recommending the formation of a national Canadian Food Security Network. Information on the network can be found at:

http://www.ryerson.ca/~foodsec/foodsec/fd.htm 

The Conference recognizes that food security requires adequate amounts of safe, nutritious, culturally acceptable food be accessible to all in a dignified and affordable manner; that food producers be enabled to earn a fair return on their labour and that food production methods sustain the environment. These basic elements of food security require a fundamentally new direction for Canadian and world food and health promotion systems.
Armer les villes contre la faim : Systèmes alimentaires urbains durables
Authors: Koc Mustafa , MacRae Rod , Mougeot Luc J.A. , Welsh Jennifer
Published: September 2023

Le XXe siècle a été le témoin d'une croissance massive des populations urbaines. En 1990, le tiers des habitants de la planète vivaient dans des villes de plus d'un million d'habitants. En outre, la faim et la malnutrition augmentent à l'échelle mondiale parce que le système alimentaire mondial ne parvient pas à répondre aux besoins croissants des consommateurs urbains.

Armer les villes contre la faim est le premier ouvrage à examiner de façon exhaustive la question de la sécurité alimentaire d'un point de vue urbain. Il traite des systèmes alimentaires locaux et des moyens d'améliorer la disponibilité et l'accessibilité des denrées alimentaires pour les populations urbaines. On y présente des méthodes permettant d'améliorer l'agriculture communautaire et d'accroître la collaboration entre les populations urbaines et rurales. On y explore le rôle que les structures existantes de marketing et de distribution peuvent jouer pour améliorer l'accessibilité, les systèmes de distribution alimentaire en émergence et leur apport éventuel à l'élimination de la faim dans les villes. Enfin, cet ouvrage examine les structures sous-jacentes à la pauvreté et aux inégalités et traite des systèmes alimentaires d'urgence, tels que les banques alimentaires.

Armer les villes contre la faim comprend des points de vue d'agriculteurs et de professeurs, de jeunes militants et de chefs d'entreprises expérimentés, d'étudiants et de décideurs, d'organisateurs communautaires et de praticiens. Il intéressera les universitaires et les étudiants en sociologie, en politique, en études environnementales, en travail social, en nutrition et diététique, en aménagement urbain et en sciences de la santé; les praticiens en diététique, en santé publique et en services sociaux; les organismes communautaires et les ONG qui oeuvrent dans le domaine des systèmes alimentaires; les organismes gouvernementaux et internationaux qui s'occupent des politiques alimentaires et de la sécurité alimentaire.
Food Safety and Diversity in the COVID-19 Era: Experiences of Public Health and Settlement Officials with New Immigrants
Authors: Rauf Saman , Sekercioglu Fatih , Koc Mustafa
Published: September 2023

Canada has a diverse socio-cultural population, 21.5% of which is comprised of immigrants born outside of the country, a figure now reaching 49.5% in big cities, such as Toronto. This diversity is also reflected in the food culture. While traditional foods carry immense importance for retaining immigrants’ socio-cultural and ethnic identities, the safe handling of cultural foods has been a concern for public health authorities in recent decades. Food handling training programs provided by public health and settlement agencies play a crucial role in educating new immigrants about critical aspects of food safety in households and commercial establishments. Little knowledge is available about main issues related to food safety and how COVID-19 has influenced the related outreach programs of different service agencies. Our study, the first of its kind, identifies knowledge gaps regarding public health risks among recent immigrants regarding food safety practices in light of the COVID-19 pandemic. Factors that lead to a decline in access to food safety knowledge among immigrants are identified. Responses of 14 public health and settlement workers working with different immigrant communities were collected through a qualitative online survey. Data were thematically analyzed using NVivo software. Results show that while food safety training and outreach programs are quite beneficial and build on new immigrants’ background knowledge about the critical aspects of food safety, food safety outreach programs offered by different service agencies have been significantly reduced.as a result of COVID-19. COVID and related health restrictions also worsened the financial challenges faced by new immigrants due to the closure of many foodservice businesses. Results also reveal that food safety infractions among newcomers are mainly due to language barriers and financial constraints. To meet the desired food safety learning targets, there is a need for developing culturally appropriate food safety training for different immigrant groups.

Afghan refugees are one of the most vulnerable migrant groups in terms of food insecurity status around the world. We aimed to investigate the association between Afghan protracted refugees' food insecurity and its socio– economic determinants in Mashhad, Iran. In a cross– sectional design, information was gathered through face– to– face interviews with 299 Afghan main income earners or his/her representative in Golshar district, Mashhad, Iran. In a quantitative approach, the association of socio– economic factors with food insecurity was assessed. The results showed that less than 1% of all the households were food secure, 69.2% of those with children and 47.5% of those with no child faced severe food insecurity. Class of households' income, residency status and personal dwelling were significantly associated with severe food insecurity of Afghan refugees. Determining effective socio– economic factors to formulate appropriate policies and practices is not only necessary but also inevitable to assure sustainable food security for refugees.
Crisis of legitimacy and challenges for food policy
Authors: Koc Mustafa
Published: September 2023

Looking into the food system through the lens of food security, the first decade of the 21st Century was a period of broken promises, distrust, as well as fear and anxiety due to multiple crises in the financial markets—in the agri-food sector and in global politics. I will argue that this economically and politically volatile environment and the widespread distrust of major international and national agencies in terms of governance has led to a global legitimacy crisis, which I consider one of the biggest obstacles in mobilizing the public for social change and policy reforms.
The Entrepreneurial Journey in Vietnam's Public Relations Industry: The Motivation, The Role, and the Challenges
Authors: Ly Le-Tuong-Minh
Published: September 2023

With the increased importance of SMEs, especially in Asia Pacific, the demand for research in these topics continues to rise. The focus of this study is the characteristics and motivations of the founders behind their decisions for a growing business in an emerging Asian market, Vietnam.

This study found that public relations founders in Vietnam are generally driven by the accomplishments and challenges picked up from their entrepreneurial journey. They do not as focus on company control or economic gain from founding a company. Their entrepreneurial journey mainly revolves around the managerial experience, as the managerial tasks would be more complicated and require better managerial skills to address the challenges. They are also open to delegating their role to a professional manager, who already possesses the required management skills, to support the business. This study challenges the assumption that entrepreneurs pursue growth and usually experience the growth versus delegation crisis.  
A Topic Modeling Assessment of Emerging Research Trends in the Environmental Science and Engineering Discipline
Authors: Palanichamy Yazwand
Published: September 2023

Advancements in environmental science and engineering (ESE) research is needed towards ensuring an environmentally conscious society. Understanding fundamental research developments in the ESE discipline, can help stimulate improved collaboration and communication of nascent environmental problems. Hence, in this thesis, the author applies topic modeling analysis on 3072 abstracts collected from academic journals that publish subject matter related to ESE research from 2005-2019. Accordingly, the author applies a latent Dirichlet allocation (LDA) model on abstract metadata to infer 20 trending topics. Namely, topics on environmental impact assessments, waste management, and lead pollution. Moreover, whilst quantifying the trends at the regional level, it has been observed that countries display clearly distinguishable patterns. Thus, suggesting that ESE research communities from different countries tend to specialize in various sub-fields. Environmental scientists, environmental engineers, and journal editors (among other interested parties) will benefit from the results in terms of identifying promising topics for research collaborations. 
Energy saving potential of interstage screen fractionation for production of board grade BCTMP
Authors: ZHA QUANQING , AMIRI REZA , YUAN ZHIRUN
Published: September 2023

Over the last few decades, the continuing decline in mechanical pulp-based grades has led pulp producers to modify operations and implement measures to reduce production costs in order to stay competitive. In spite of a considerable effort to reduce energy consumption, the latter is still a major portion of production costs in the process of making bleached chemithermomechanical pulp (BCTMP). In this study, we evaluated the impact of interstage screening fractionation (ISSF) and secondary refining strategy for producing BCTMP with the objective of reducing refining energy consumption while maintaining or improving bulk and strength properties.
In the first step and to establish a baseline for a mill’s existing configuration, the collected primary refined pulp and reject streams from the ISSF were refined in a high consistency (HC) refiner to target freeness levels. The accepts and refined rejects streams were recombined, and their properties were compared to those of the refined primary pulp. The results showed that, at a given freeness of 400 mL and compared to the control case (without fractionation), the ISSF using an 0.070 in. basket followed by rejects refining could lead to about 25% energy saving in the second stage HC refining. Handsheet properties showed that utilization of ISSF could produce BCTMP with higher bulk and similar average fiber length and tear index. However, a slight reduction in tensile strength was observed.
In the second set of trials, the primary refined pulp and the rejects from the ISSF using the 0.070 in. basket were refined by a low-consistency (LC) refiner. The results showed that, at the same freeness of 400 mL and compared to refined primary pulp, the ISSF saved about 26% in net LC refining energy. At a specific edge load (SEL) of 0.4 J/m, the produced pulp had similar bulk and strength properties compared to those of the control sample. A higher SEL of 0.6 J/m in LC refining could further decrease net refining energy consumption; however, it also led to reduction in fiber length, bulk, and strength properties.
SCC susceptibility of chromized type 409 stainless steel in alkaline chloride solutions at ambient temperature and pressure
Authors: ASARE ELLIOTT , KISH JOSEPH , ZENG YIMIN
Published: September 2023

Biomass hydrothermal liquefaction (HTL) is operated in a harsh reaction medium that contains hot pressurized water, inorganic acidic or basic catalyst, and inorganic/organic corrosive components released during the conversion. Candidate alloys for this application require suitable resistance to both corrosion and stress corrosion cracking (SCC) to withstand the HTL process conditions (250°C–374°C and 4–22 MPa). Ferritic iron-chromium (Fe-Cr) steels are more prone to corrosion but less susceptible to SCC compared to austenitic iron-chromium-nickel (Fe-Cr-Ni) steels. Chromizing can significantly reduce corrosion of Type 409 stainless steel (Fe-11Cr) in a simulated aqueous HTL solution.
The objective of this study is to determine the SCC susceptibility of chromized Type 409 stainless steel, relative to the bare (non-chromized) case. The slow strain rate testing (SSRT) technique was used for this purpose. For simplicity of experimentation, SSRT was conducted using simulated HTL water containing 800 ppm potassium chloride (KCl), 1 M potassium carbonate (K2CO3), and 10 wt% acetic acid at ambient temperature and pressure. Complementary potentiodynamic polarization measurements and surface analysis by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) were also made to help interpret the SSRT results. The SSRT results show no significant difference in SCC susceptibility, regardless of the starting surface. Thus, chromizing, while significantly reducing the corrosion of Type 409 stainless steel, does not adversely affect SCC susceptibility, at least under the conditions tested.
A method for evaluating ink mileage in gravure printing
Authors: XU RENMEI , PEKAROVICOVA ALEXANDRA , FLEMING PAUL D. , WU YU JU , WANG MICHELLE X.
Published: September 2023

Researchers have studied ink mileage curves for many years, and they have reported several models for curve fitting. Regression coefficients derived from curve fitting have been found to be very useful for comparing different inks and have been related to various properties of ink and paper. However, these models were based on experimental data from prints made on IGT and Prüfbau printability testers using offset inks. The quantity of ink transferred, and hence the amount of ink on paper, was determined by the weight difference of the printing disk before and after printing. These models have not been tested on other ink types or on commercial printing presses. The challenge has been that it is difficult to accurately measure the coat weight of gravure or flexographic ink film.
In this study, eight coated rotogravure papers were printed on a Cerutti rotogravure web press. The ink film coat weights at different tonal values were calculated from the copper (Cu) concentrations in both liquid ink and printed paper samples, which we analyzed using an atomic absorption (AA) spectrometer after digestion. The ink film coat weight and relative reflection density data were fitted by different models using OriginPro® 7.5 software. The degree of fit was determined by the sum of the squares of residuals and the distribution of residuals around zero. Both the Oittinen and Calabro-Savagnone models fitted the experimental data equally well. The regression coefficients derived from curve fitting could be related to paper properties such as surface roughness, air permeability, and pore size. We found that the saturation density Ds had higher correlations with air permeability and with pore size than with surface roughness. The parameter m, which determines the steepness of the density curve in the region of very thin film (also called density smoothness), was highly correlated with paper roughness as measured by the profilometer and at a less significant level with air permeability. The parameter n was well correlated with both profilometer roughness and air permeability.
Impact of TMP refining line interruptions and reject refiner operations on pulp and paper variability
Authors: HARRISON ROBERT P. , ROCHE ALAIN A. , STUART PAUL R.
Published: September 2023

This article develops a method for correlating TMP operations with pulp quality, and ultimately with paper quality, by focusing on process fundamentals such as specific energy and refining intensity. The case study is an Eastern Canadian newsprint mill that experiences variability in paper strength and porosity. Frequent interruptions in the four refining lines greatly affect the reject refining specific energy and other key parameters, many of which are not measured directly and must be calculated from other variables. Using multivariate analysis and other statistical tools, it was possible to link pulp quality back to the TMP and reject refining operations, taking into account the number of lines in operation, plate age, and process lags. Furthermore, it was possible using multivariate analysis (MVA) models to correlate roughly half the variability in final paper quality with the refining operations.

Chatbot is a virtual conversation that can receive input in the form of voice or writing. A chatbot can be a generative or retrieval chatbot. The creation of the two chatbots provides an opportunity for users to write text freely. Sometimes giving freedom to type sentences freely can result in answers that are not to the user's liking. There are several ways that users can be directed to write text in the chat column. This study aims to develop a chatbot application that can be used as a medium for questioning and answering subject matter for elementary school students in a structured manner. Chatbots developed based on AIML (Artificial Intelligence Markup Language) use Pandorabots as a platform to process text input from users so that chatbots can direct users to type according to the patterns and knowledge contained in the chatbot. There are two kinds of chatbots created in this study, namely text-based interaction and button-based interaction chatbots. The chatbot test uses 20 data samples in the form of questions and answers from Elementary School subject matter grades 1 to grade 6. Chatbots using AIML can only answer questions that are relevant and according to patterns in AIML. To optimize the performance of text chatbots, we recommend using large amounts of data. Whereas Chatbots with UI Buttons should use less data to work optimally.

Published: September 2023

The Indonesian University of Education (UPI) campus introduction media still uses a web application. The media is static and abstract because it cannot show how things really are. This makes it difficult for new students and people who have just visited UPI to get to know the campus environment. Therefore, it is necessary to make a tour guide application that can help introduce the UPI campus environment. One of the technologies currently developing is augmented reality. Augmented Reality is a technology that can unite virtual world objects and real world environments. The application to be built can bring up a tour guide object at a predetermined location, then can provide information about that place. In this study, the markerless augmented reality method was used with a location based service and using the Mapbox framework. The application test results show that this application can display a tour guide object with a human-shaped 3D model that can be relatively quiet to occupy the real environmental space, thus making the display look more real. It can be concluded that the application built can function as a tour guide on campus

Published: September 2023

Pada masa pandemi Covid-19 ini, mahasiswa membutuhkan fasilitas yang dapat dijadikan sebagai media untuk kegiatan belajar mengajar secara online. Dengan proses pembelajaran yang efektif dan menarik, materi yang disampaikan guru mudah diterima dan dipahami dengan baik. SMKS Darul Islah Kabupaten Tangerang merupakan salah satu sekolah swasta yang terletak di Jayanti, Kabupaten Tangerang, Banten. Permasalahannya metode blended learning yang diterapkan selama ini hanya terdapat di Sekolah Teknik Kendaraan Ringan dan Fakultas Farmasi, dan Departemen Multimedia belum sepenuhnya menerapkan metode blended learning.

This paper describes the implementation of geofencing technology in Android-based mobile applications for promotional advertisements based on the user's location. Geofencing is a location-based service that uses GPS, cellular networks, or Wi-Fi to create virtual geographic boundaries around specific locations. This technology enables businesses to send targeted advertisements to mobile users based on their current location. The paper presents the development of an Android-based mobile application that uses geofencing technology to provide location-based promotional advertisements to users. Researchers use one of the big shopping centers in Jakarta as a location object for geofencing technology. The application uses Google Maps and Firebase to create geofences around specific locations, and then sends push notifications to users within the geofenced areas. The implementation also includes a backend system to manage the promotional advertisements and user data. The results show that the implementation of geofencing technology in Android-based mobile applications can provide a more targeted and effective way to deliver promotional advertisements to users.

Published: September 2023

This study aimed to understand the perception of Islamic banking among post millennials Muslim students and explore their expectations towards Islamic Shariah compliant banking. The study uses qualitative method to understand respondents’ subjective views. Semi-structured interviews are used among the Muslim students studying at public and private universities in Malaysia. Twelve students were selected using purposive sampling.
The analysis revealed that religious motives, efficient services, and convenience in terms of online banking and ATM services are factors in bank selection. The study found that the students’ perceptions of their understanding of Islamic banking are not sufficient, and there is a gap in the understanding of the mechanism of Islamic banking operations. Most of the existing literature is on the customer satisfaction, customer behaviour and service quality. However, there are little research on the perceptions of Islamic banking among the students who are post millennials. This study focus on the new generation’s perception of Islamic banking and attempts to fill this gap. The findings of the present study can be used as a reference in future studies in the area of perceptions among students or post millennials.
