Published: October 2024

The food waste along the vegetable supply chain has become a major concern across the globe and measures are being sought to reduce its impact on food security, economy, environment and society. Soweto Market in Lusaka, Zambia, is among the biggest markets where food waste along the vegetable supply chain is extensive. However, there is a significant research gap, particularly on the causes of food waste along the vegetable supply chain at Soweto Market. To address this gap, this research aims to assess the factors causing food waste along the vegetable supply chain at Soweto Market. This research is envisioned to contribute to the existing body of knowledge on the reduction of food waste along the vegetable supply chain. The study adopted a deductive research approach and employed the descriptive research design. Empirical data were collected using survey questionnaires distributed to 110 smallholder farmers at Soweto Market who farm, package, transport, store and sell for themselves. Data analysis involved descriptive statistics, factor analysis and regression analysis using the Software Package for Social Sciences (SPSS). The study intended to establish the type of food waste and was restricted to understanding how factors such as market information, packaging, transportation, storage, processing linkage, quality and regulations as independent variables cause food waste along the vegetable supply chain The findings from descriptive statistics established that tomatoes, onions, carrots, okra and cabbages were among the types of food waste along the vegetable supply chain. It was also found that independent variables except for packaging showed high reliability and internal consistency. It revealed that processing linkage have a significant positive effect on food waste. These findings contribute to enhancing the reduction of food waste along the vegetable supply chain, which ultimately improves food sustainability. It is recommended that stakeholders in the vegetable supply chain use the insights from this study to review processing linkages along the vegetable supply chain at Soweto Market.

A magyar–török rokonságeszme százötven éve erősen jelen van a köztudatban. Az uráli és altaji nyelvek rokonsága már a 19. század első felében felvetődött, de igazán az ún. „ugor–török” háború, az anyanyelvünk eredetéről szóló első tudományos jellegű vita során, az 1870-es évektől kezdve terjedt el ez az elmélet, amely hol erősebben, hol kevésbé látványosan, de folyamatosan jelen van a magyarországi közbeszédben. Írásomban egy, a nyelvrokonságra, azon belül is elsősorban a magyar–török hipotézisre vonatkozó kérdőíves felmérés tanulságait ismertetem, de előtte röviden felvázolom a török rokonság hipotézisének mozgatórugóit, bemutatom a magyar–török érintkezések három szintjét, és igyekszem tisztázni az alapfogalmakat.

Authors: Sahin Gulcagri , Mutlu Ilven
Published: October 2024

In this study, nickel-based superalloys (Ni-Cr-Mo-Nb-Fe-Ti) with varied Ti contents have been produced by using mechanical alloying-powder metallurgy method for turbine blade material. Effect of Ti addition was investigated. Superalloy powders were prepared by mechanical alloying by using 6 mm zirconia balls for 20 hours at 400 rpm. Then, the powder mixtures were compacted at 400 MPa in a hydraulic press, and the green specimens were sintered at 1200 °C for 1 hour. Properties of the superalloys were studied by non-destructive eddy current test and ultrasonic test. Elastic modulus was characterized by destructive compression and non-destructive ultrasonic tests. Effect of alloying elements on the elastic modulus was determined. Microstructure and electrical conductivity properties were studied by eddy current tests. Effect of alloying elements on the conductivity was determined. Electrochemical corrosion behaviour of the superalloys was studied in NaCl solution. Effect of alloying elements on the corrosion behaviour was studied.
Football at a Crossroads
Authors: Duval Antoine
Published: October 2024

The CJEU shook the world of football with its Diarra ruling on Friday, October 4. The impact of the ruling is all but a surprise for me. In a way, the FIFA transfer system was always on shaky legal grounds in terms of EU internal market law. Now, the chickens have come home to roost and key parts of the football transfer system have been brutally set aside. I aim to explain why the Diarra ruling marks a crucial turning point for football, its economy and even its identity.
Sex differences in sleep disorders of Parkinson’s disease patients associated with a genetic risk variant
Authors: Zhang Albert
Published: October 2024

Parkinson’s disease (PD) is a neurodegenerative disorder affecting 10 million people worldwide. PD results in both motor and non-motor symptom manifestations. Notably, sleep disorders are one of the most common non-motor symptoms of PD and exhibit sex differences in frequency and severity. Although studies have identified variations in sleep disorder manifestation and genetic variants between male and female PD patients, few have examined the connection between PD sleep disorders and genetic risk factors with consideration of biological sex. To address the hypothesis that sex-specific sleep dysfunction in PD patients is associated with genetic risk variants, this study compares sleep symptom frequency and PD-associated genetic variants between males and females. The findings of this study reveal that the differential prevalence of a leucine-rich repeat kinase 2 (LRRK2) mutation (G2019S) between male and female PD patients may underlie sex differences in PD sleep disorders, including rapid eye movement (REM) behavior disorder (RBD) and insomnia. This suggests the potential of sex-specific genetic treatments in effectively managing the sleep symptoms of PD patients.

A análise realizada verificou o estado de conservação das esculturas que são em número de 16 (dezesseis) e o trabalho de gestão no complexo do Refúgio Dourado priorizando a preservação e a sustentabilidade do local tanto em termos naturais como econômico. Atualmente a questão do patrimônio está muito discutida tanto o patrimônio material como o imaterial. As esculturas do Refúgio Dourado podem ser vistas como um patrimônio material natural e que precisa ser preservado para que não se seja destruída, tanto as esculturas como a pousada e o parque de visitação. A metodologia trabalhada foi de dois tipos: a análise organizacional priorizando os aspectos da gestão para um melhor desenvolvimento do complexo, como também a análise fotoetnográfica registrando o estado de conservação das esculturas em análise. A caracterização da pesquisa e do tipo exploratório-descritiva para os dois métodos. As unidades de análises foram às próprias esculturas (16) e o gerente responsável que responderam algumas questões na forma de entrevista diretiva que foi o roteiro próprio da análise organizacional já em uso na pesquisa. Os resultados evidenciaram a necessidade urgente de preservação das esculturas, inclusive das duas que já foram completamente destruídas, bem como uma participação mais efetiva dos órgãos públicos no nível municipal e estadual com fins de apoio efetivo na preservação, manutenção e gestão do complexo das esculturas do Refúgio Dourado na Praia de Majorlândia como atrativo turístico de visitação.
Educa(ação) para transgressão
Authors: Lima Pereira Pedro Bruno , Xypas Constantin
Published: October 2024

Trata-se de uma investigação inspirada no debate de uma sociologia estatisticamente improvável, pois objetiva analisar como os estudos de Bell Hooks podem ensinar alunos(as) com histórico de fracasso a transgredir nos estudos, e como as pesquisas de Paulo Freire podem ensinar professores(as) a contribuir com uma educação como prática da liberdade. Os instrumentos de coleta de dados deram-se por meio de pesquisa bibliográfica acerca de conceitos como: sociologia do êxito improvável; educação transgressora; educação como prática da liberdade; educação de jovens e adultos. Após síntese das leituras, pode-se afirmar que o pensamento arrebatador e engajado que Bell Hooks propaga vem sendo capaz de tirar as pessoas pobres de um lugar de conformismo e de lhes oferecer uma nova perspectiva de liberdade. Na escola, o educador progressista, sobretudo o que atua na Educação de Jovens e Adultos, pode mobilizar seus alunos a transgredir o fracasso e a humilhação social e escolar.

The relevance of analytical formulations predicting stiffener tripping
Authors:   Nevesbu b. v., Reijmers Jack , Nobel Pieter ,   Nevesbu b. v.
Published: October 2024

In search for the governing failure mode of externally pressurized ring-stiffened cylinders the focus is, due to its loading and slender geometry, drawn to elastic buckling. However, the hydrostatic pressure loading and imperfections cause nonlinear behaviour, and excessive deformation results in plastic failure, denoted by collapse. This implies that a true bifurcation point is often hardly observed, and this raises the question whether it is worthwhile to spend much effort to determine the elastic buckling pressures other than to ensure they are well above the collapse pressure? This paper focuses on the elastic buckling of ring frames, generally referred to as frame tripping. Some latest attempts in improving the accuracy of the analytical formulations will be questioned. Firstly, this study will compare non-linear buckling with linear-elastic material behaviour to elastic buckling by means of finite element analysis. Secondly, the non-linear elastic-plastic effects will be included too. Doing so, the effect of the geometrical non-linearity and material elastic-plastic non-linearity will be visible separately and will give an indication of the relevance of frame tripping results predicted by analytical elastic buckling formulations. Literature offers a variety on analytical formulations, each with an underlying idea to remove undesired assumptions that impair results. Even recently comprehensive formulations are published to establish an accurate value of the elastic tripping pressures. This paper shows whether those methods are still relevant in modern pressure hull design or not.

Metallic scaffolds are used as implants to help heal bones. Sheet-based Triply Periodic Minimal Surfaces (TPMS) are of interest due to their high surface-to-volume ratio (S/V) and customisable stiffness. They can be realised using Additive Manufacturing (AM). Other studies investigate porosity and pore size of scaffolds, but they frequently overlook S/V, which is critical for cellular response. Additionally, the limitation of AM (esp. Selective Laser Melting (SLM)) resides in the discrepancies between as-designed and as-built physical and mechanical properties of those structures, and this also needs addressing. This work investigates three types of pure Titanium TPMS scaffolds, with an emphasis on as-designed vs as-built discrepancies and the significance of S/V. As-designed scaffolds reported 70-75% porosity and 25-35 cm-1 S/V, and stiffness was measured using finite element analysis (FEA) obtaining 6.7-9.3 GPa. The as-built scaffolds had 59-70% porosity and 33-42 cm-1 S/V. Laboratory compression testing revealed an effective Young's modulus of 5-9 GPa, comparable to bone tissue. Image-based simulation methods were employed on the as-built samples which reported the stiffness range of 8.3-15 GPa, overestimating it by 54%. It is hypothesised that these discrepancies stem from the secondary roughness on the surfaces, cracks and entrapped voids created during the SLM process, causing reduction in porosity, yet not contributing to structure’s strength. The cyber-physical validation methods presented in this work are a good way to quantify these discrepancies, allowing feedback to the design stages for more predictable as-built structures.

Authors: Fatimatuz Zahro  , Susi Wahyuning Asih  , Asmuji
Published: October 2024

Using a smartphone before bed can make a person's sleep time late and not according to the time. When someone plays with a smartphone at night, the brain will think that this is not sleep time because of the blue light emitted by the smartphone. If the brain thinks that it is not hours of sleep, the duration of smartphone users' sleep will decrease and this will affect the quality of their sleep. Poor sleep quality in teenagers will affect all activities and in daily life. This research aims to determine the relationship between the intensity of smartphone use and sleep quality in teenagers. This research uses a correlational research design with a quantitative research model using a cross-sectional approach. The population in this study was class students with a sample of 112 people taken using simple random sampling techniques. The instrument used in this study used a likert scale questionnaire. Statistical test between smartphone usage intensity and sleep quality measured using Spearman Rank (rho) with α = 0.05.  This research shows there is a relationship between the intensity of smartphone use and sleep quality. The direction of a positive relationship with strength is sufficient, meaning that the greater the intensity of using a smartphone, the less good it will have an impact on poor sleep quality. Using a smartphone at night will cause the brain to receive external stimuli in the form of sound, light and vibrations from the smartphone, this causes a person to wake up at night and if it lasts a long time it will disrupt the quality of students' sleep. Discussion: Therefore, it is necessary to monitor smartphone use in students so that sleep quality is better.

Published: October 2024

O referente trabalho visa mostrar a importância das relações de afeto interpessoais para a construção de uma saúde mental em períodos de desenvolvimento da criança ao longo de sua infância, adolescência, e, consequentemente, a construção da sua vida adulta. Entende-se que a ruptura das relações de apego com os pais pode ser prejudicial e que é importante a possível substituição destas figuras a partir de uma rede de apoio sólida, sendo essa relação de apego podendo ser estabelecida com outras figuras de cuidado que ofereçam respostas às necessidades da criança e as acompanhem durante o seu desenvolvimento visando supri-las no que for preciso. Este estudo investiga o papel central das relações de afeto na infância, destacando sua influência crucial no desenvolvimento socioemocional das crianças. Examina-se a importância das interações afetivas, como o vínculo seguro entre cuidadores e crianças, no estabelecimento de uma base sólida para o bem-estar emocional ao longo da vida. O trabalho aborda também fatores que podem influenciar a qualidade das relações de afeto, como a presença de figuras de apego inconsistentes e ambientes familiares não saudáveis e negligentes, onde, a criança necessita ser afastada por medida protetiva provisória e serem levadas a uma Casa Lar. Por meio de uma revisão abrangente da literatura, o estudo propõe investigar como as relações afetivas na infância podem impactar a saúde mental, o desenvolvimento cognitivo e as habilidades sociais das crianças em situações de acolhimento, contribuindo para uma compreensão mais profunda da importância das relações de afeto na infância.

Fenofibrate Nanosuspension: A Novel Strategy to Enhance its Bioavailability for the Management of Hyperlipidemia
Authors: Bakhatwar Mohammad , Ruksana Shaik , Aleti Rajeswari , Kola Mamatha
Published: October 2024

Hyperlipidemia, a metabolic condition marked by elevated plasma levels of cholesterol or triglyceride-carrying lipoproteins, is a major contributor to atherosclerosis and cardiovascular diseases. Antihyperlipidemic drugs are classified according to their primary mechanism of action. Fenofibrate’s role in regulating cholesterol and managing insulin resistance-associated metabolic disorders makes it a preferred choice in combination therapies with statins for cardiovascular disease management. Nanoparticles have gained attention for enhancing the bioavailability of poorly water-soluble drugs by reducing particle size to the nanoscale (100-200 nm), which increases solubility, dissolution rate and adhesion to cell surfaces. Nanosuspensions improve drug solubility and bioavailability through methods like media milling, high-pressure homogenization and precipitation. Despite advancements, producing stable Fenofibrate nanoparticles below 100 nm at an industrial scale remains a challenge. Recent strategies include using sonication and freeze-drying to enhance bioavailability and solubility, achieving significant improvements in drug dissolution and therapeutic efficacy.
Responsiveness of Monetary Policy to Economic Uncertainty: Evidence
from the ASEAN-5 Plus 3 Countries
Authors: Ee-Vern Lim , Pei-Tha Gan , Abdul Razak Azila , Mohammed Gamal Awadh Ahmed
Published: October 2024

A notable feature of empirical research on the monetary policy rule is that not many studies
rely on the responsiveness of the monetary policy to the goals of the central bank. Policy
responsiveness aligns with the appropriate relative weights placed on the goals following their
priority. To overcome this shortcoming, this study uses open economy Taylor rule in economic
uncertainty and examines its empirical validity based on a sample of ASEAN five plus three
countries, including Indonesia, Malaysia, Philippines, Singapore, Thailand, South Korea,
Japan, and China. By employing the autoregressive distributed lag (ARDL) model, this study
examines the long-run and the short-run relationships between economic uncertainty (i.e.
output uncertainty, inflation rate uncertainty, and exchange rate uncertainty) and monetary
policy. Additionally, this study examines the responsiveness of monetary policy in economic
uncertainty for goal-based performance measures. The findings provide some policy
implications; (i) both in the long run and/or short run, the central bank should consider the
policy variables (namely, output, inflation rate, and the exchange rate) underlying the premise
of unforeseen future economic events in its monetary policy decision makings for the best
economic outcomes, and (ii) the responsiveness of monetary policy to the central bank’s goals
can serve as a benchmark (namely, the size of the weights in policy rule) in aligning smooth
movements of the policy rate.

Published: October 2024

किसी भी बालक के व्यवसायिक जीवन के दृष्टिकोण से उच्च माध्यमिक स्तर की शिक्षा बेहद महत्वपूर्ण होती है। भारतीय शिक्षा के ढांचे के अनुसार उच्च माध्यमिक स्तर की शिक्षा के दौरान ही बालक अपने भावी कैरियर के विषय में आकांक्षाओं को आकार देना आरम्भ कर देते हैं और कालांतर में इन्हीं आकांक्षाओं के अनुरूप व्यवसाय का चयन करके उसमें अपना कैरियर बनाते हैं, बालकों की कैरियर के प्रति यह आकांक्षायें विभिन्न सामाजिक, मनोवैज्ञानिक व अन्य कारकों से प्रभावित होती रहती हैं। जेंडर समाजीकरण भी इसी प्रकार का एक महत्वपूर्ण कारक है, जो बालकों के कैरियर चयन को काफी हद तक प्रभावित करता है। जेंडर समाजीकरण के फलस्वरूप प्रायः बालक परम्परागत जेंडर भूमिकाओं के अनुरूप ही व्यवसायों का चयन करते हैं, जो कालांतर में जेंडर असमानता को स्थायित्व प्रदान करने का ही कार्य करता है। वर्तमान लेख के माध्यम से अध्ययनकर्ता द्वारा भारत में उच्च माध्यमिक स्तर के विद्यार्थियों की कैरियर आकांक्षाओं व जेंडर समाजीकरण के मध्य सम्बन्धों की पड़ताल करने का प्रयास इस अपेक्षा के साथ किया जा रहा है कि इस विमर्श के फलस्वरूप उच्च माध्यमिक स्तर पर विद्यार्थियों को जेंडर संवेदनशील बनाकर जेंडर पूर्वाग्रहों से मुक्त किया जा सकेगा और उन्हें उनकी नैसर्गिक क्षमताओं के अनुरूप विभिन्न गैर परम्परागत कैरियर विकल्पों का चयन करने हेतु प्रेरित किया जा सकेगा।

Sovietisation of Schools in 1940: ideological constraints from teachers, selebration of boshevik a coup d'état in in Schools of Šakiai County; (2)
Authors: Buchaveckas Stanislovas
Published: October 2024

This article contains archival factual material related to other primary schools in Šakiai County. It briefly assesses the situation of the teachers under the supervision of the so-called Šakiai County Committee and the local Bolsheviks (communists), Komsomol members and other collaborators, who had formed the structures of the county and district executive authorities. The superintendence manifested in the form of letters (often without even consulting the county inspection of elementary schools), various instructions (written or verbal) and the meetings organised for giving them, unexpected visits to the school during lessons, etc. In this article, the word ‘Bolsheviks’ is also used alongside the terms ‘Soviet(s)’ or ‘Communist(s)’, especially since the Republic of Lithuania was occupied by the Bolsheviks of the USSR in June 1940, and the Lithuanian Communists joined the All-Union Communist Party (Bolsheviks) or ACP(B) in 1940, where the ‘B’ in the parenthesis in the party’s name was intended to emphasize the Bolshevik character of the party that had taken over power in the former tsarist Russian Empire. The words ‘celebration’ and ‘celebratory’ and the constructions with these words are used in quotation marks because for the majority of society, for the parents of the pupils, and through them for the majority of the pupils, it was a celebration of the Bolshevik occupants and the local collaborators who served them. The article also uses the shorter construction of ‘October Revolution celebrations’ – ‘October celebrations’.
Šiauliai Labour Camp No. 294 of Prisoners of War of Germany and its Allies (1945–1948)
Authors: Tininis Vytautas
Published: October 2024

At the end of the Soviet-German war, in spring 1945, labour camps for prisoners of war of Germany and its allies were set up in Lithuania. One of them – was Šiauliai Labour Camp No. 294, which consisted of six divisions: Akmenė, Bačiūnai, Panevėžys, Pavenčiai, Radviliškis, and Šiauliai. In June 1945, 8,256 prisoners of war were imprisoned in Šiauliai Labour Camp and its divisions; on 1 January 1946, there were 5,714 prisoners remaining and on 1 June – 5,048 (4,363 worked outside the boundaries of the camp); and on 1 March 1947 – 2,583 prisoners. They were rebuilding the city of Šiauliai destroyed during the war: they rebuilt the drama theatre, 3 gymnasiums, a hospital, a railway station and other buildings. Prisoners also produced consumer goods and a variety of products at the camp workshop and did auxiliary works on the farm, so the camp was partially self-sufficient in terms of food. Prisoners, who worked in rural areas, received food from local residents. On average, there were around 3,000–4,000 prisoners in the camp each year.In terms of international humanitarian law, the repressive structures of the Soviet Union and the Lithuanian SSR basically observed the provisions of the 1929 Geneva Convention on the Treatment of Prisoners of War, but in 1945–1946 due to extremely complicated natural and economic conditions, as well as the unpredictability of the camp administration prisoners had painful experiences. Many of them were ill; in winter 1945–1946 the camp suffered a typhus epidemic. Between 1945 and 1948 about 500 prisoners died, most of the prisoners were underfed and malnourished. The camp administration and managers of various economic entities abused the available cheap labour of prisoners, corruption thrived, there was large-scale embezzlement and there were minor thefts by the camp staff.The number of prisoners fluctuated each year: some of them were taken to the Soviet Union, others were repatriated; some prisoners escaped. According to some data, between 1945 and March 1947, 188 people escaped, but according to other data between 1946 and 1947, 99 prisoners escaped (50 were recaptured) and 2,321 were repatriated. When general repatriation started in the Soviet Union, Šiauliai Labour Camp was closed in autumn 1948. The remaining inmates were transferred to Vilnius Labour Camp No. 195 and subsequently in March 1949 repatriated back to their home countries.
A Snapshot of Family Diversity in Canada (February 2018)
Authors: Battams Nathan
Published: October 2024

For more than 50 years, the Vanier Institute of the Family has monitored, studied and discussed trends in families and family life in Canada. From the beginning, the evidence has consistently made one thing clear: there is no single story to tell, because families are as diverse as the people who comprise them. This has always been the case, whether one examines family structures, family identities, family living arrangements, family lifestyles, family experiences or whether one looks at the individual traits of family members, such as their ethnocultural background, immigration status, sexual orientation or their diverse abilities. Building on our recent infographic, Family Diversity in Canada (2016 Census Update), our new Statistical Snapshot publication provides an expanded and more detailed portrait of modern families in Canada, as well as some of the trends that have shaped our vibrant and evolving family landscape over the years. Based on current data and trend analysis, this overview shows that diversity is, was and will continue to be a key characteristic of family life for generations to come – a reality that contributes to Canada’s dynamic and evolving society.

Design and Implementation of a Web Attack Analysis System Based on Honeypot Technology
Authors: Wang Shuqian
Published: October 2024

Nowadays, with an increasing number of Web services being deployed in university network systems, Web attacks have become a significant threat due to the inherent vulnerabilities in Web services and the diverse forms of these attacks. Traditional Web attack defenses can only react passively, resulting in a lag in protection. Therefore, to enhance the security of Web systems, this paper develops a Web attack analysis system based on honeypot technology. Firstly, the system captures Web attack information through simulated honeypots. Secondly, it extracts and integrates effective data from the attack information to analyze hackers' attack methods and intentions. Thirdly, the analysis results are visualized through charts, providing data support for system maintenance. Finally, the feasibility of the system is verified through experiments.
BPFNN Based Football Player Value Prediction by Introducing Historic Information
Authors: Sun Meixi , Li Yuchen
Published: October 2024

With extensively successful applications of artificial neural networks in many scenarios of classification and prediction, research related to the world most popular sport - football - has undoubtedly attracted researchers to carry out their works with aid of such powerful tools. Despite that most of these works are oriented to predict match results and game strategies, only very a few are designed for player value prediction, which is of great importance with the rapid growth of the football players’ transfer market. In this paper, we propose a BP feedforward neural network framework which integrates both the empirically determined variables and some historical information. Comparative ablation experiments on one dataset FINAL verified the necessity of some factors especially the highest_values which inspired the inclusion of available historical information into the framework. For further verifying the efficiency of integrating historical information, we embedded the value columns of FIFA17 to FIFA21 into the data of FIFA22. Comparative experiments showed an 11% improvement on the precision with the help of historical values, verifying the efficiency of this strategy. Experiments were also conducted for determining the choice of the number of layers, the ratio of the training set and test set, the learning rate, and the process of the missed information.

Authors: Yang Haiyan
Published: October 2024

Aiming at the traditional tire defect detection is difficult to meet the practical application requirements, a defect detection algorithm based on YOLOv8 is constructed. Firstly, the GAM attention mechanism is added to the backbone to improve the feature expression of tire defects and improve the detection efficiency. Secondly, the SPPF is replaced by SimSPPF to effectively capture multi-scale features. Finally, the CIoU loss function is replaced by Wise-IoU to improve the convergence ability of the model. The experimental results show that the constructed improved models P, mAP0.5 and mAP0.5:0.95 reach 86.4%, 88.2% and 46.9%, respectively, which are improved by 2.7%, 2.3% and 0.9% compared with the original YOLOv8n model. The algorithm can better improve the problems faced by traditional new energy vehicle tire defect detection.

Oranges, potatoes and phytonutrients; why are they good for human health
Authors: Marreilha Dos Santos Ana Paula , Mateus Maria Luisa , Khan Haroon , Aschner Michael
Published: October 2024

Dietary chemoprevention has emerged as a cost-effective approach to control most prevalent chronic diseases including cancer. Changes in dietary patterns and lifestyle, such as increasing the consumption of fruits and vegetables and more balanced intakes of meat and plant foods, are a practical and effective strategy for reducing the incidence of chronic diseases. Phytonutrients (or phytochemicals) are found in eatable fruits and vegetables that, daily ingested, may exhibit a potential for modulating human metabolism in a manner favourable for the prevention of chronic and degenerative diseases. Carotenoids and flavonoids (anthocyanins, phenolic acids, polyphenols) are examples of phytonutrients. Consumption of total phytochemical intake has been consistently linked to protection from chronic diseases, including cardiovascular disease, cancer and neurodegenerative diseases. To highlight the beneficial health effects of phytonutrients in plants, we choose two interesting plants, the potato and the citrus fruits. They were chosen owing to their phytonutrient content, and low price, which makes them more easily acquired in low incoming populations, and consequently they are highly consumed not only in developing but also in developed countries. Due to its high nutrient and phytochemical content, the potato can lower oxidative stress, a key mechanism for cancer and cardiovascular disease prevention. Its phenolic compounds act as antioxidants and improve heart health. Furthermore, this review emphasizes the bioactive compounds in citrus which can reduce inflammatory mediators and reactive oxygen species generation, thus attenuating the risk of neurodegenerative diseases, cardiovascular disease, diabetes, and cancer. Besides important applications in the functional food sector, phytochemicals are also employed in the production of cosmetic and/or cosmeceutical products.
