The social construction of “popular” foods
Authors: Allen-Perkins Diego
Published: December 2023

This research article explores the relationship between origin and product in the context of the economy of qualities, which emphasizes the constructed and negotiated nature of product characteristics in modern market economies. Focusing on the Ribera del Guadiana Designation of Origin (DO) in Extremadura, Spain, the study investigates how specific actions contribute to linking particular attributes to a geographical location and vice versa. The analysis reveals that the relationship between origin and product is not fixed and stable but constantly recreated through processes that combine standardization and contingency. The article highlights the performative dimension of the “origin” category, showing how it associates the qualities defining the product's uniqueness and connects it to a specific place. The study draws on ethnographic research conducted at the Almendralejo Enological Station, which plays a crucial role in regulating the Ribera del Guadiana DO. Two specific processes of diversified standardization—ripeness control and harvest window adjustment, as well as organoleptic analysis and analytical sample control—are examined in detail. The findings demonstrate the procedural construction of the DO Ribera del Guadiana object and emphasize the role of coordination among various agents in stabilizing product properties. By tracing the journey of the object from the vineyard to the laboratory and through the analytical report, the article sheds light on the dynamic nature of standardization processes and their impact on the relationship between origin and product.

Authors: Nordin Saiful Izan , Mohd Kamal Mohd Hisham
Published: December 2023

The objective of this article is to study the need for a national International Humanitarian Law (IHL) committee to domesticate the Geneva Conventions of 1949 in Malaysia. This study focuses on the core functions of the national IHL committee as recommended by the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC). The methodology to be used is by analysing the Geneva Conventions of 12 August 1949, observing the activities of Jawatankuasa Undang-Undang Kemanusiaan Antarabangsa Malaysia (JUKAM), attending IHL symposiums and conducting interviews. The findings confirm that there is a need to have an active national IHL committee. It is unnecessary to be highly ambitious by creating a complex structured national IHL committee with a high annual budget. It is sufficient for the structure of the national IHL committee to develop gradually or to consider other alternatives. Based on the evidence provided by national IHL committees in other countries, success in domesticating IHL in Malaysia is achievable with an active JUKAM and a strong political will by all stakeholders, including the decision-makers.

Authors: Pham Le Bao Ngoc
Published: December 2023

The issue of sexual harassment in the workplace has long been a concern in the Vietnamese society. However, it is only in recent years that this issue has been acknowledged and addressed through Vietnamese laws and regulations. This article critically examines Vietnamese legislative approaches to the problem of sexual harassment in the workplace. It first analyzes existing domestic laws and regulations pertaining to sexual harassment in the workplace in Vietnam, taking into account their characteristics, advantages, and limitations. It then proposes potential changes that could strengthen the prevention of and combat against sexual harassment in the Vietnamese workplace. The paper employs doctrinal legal research methodology to analyze the content of law while utilizing a law-in-context approach to explore the social and cultural aspects at play. In Vietnam, legislation regarding sexual harassment in the workplace has developed gradually, with increasing complexity and coverage. This development encompasses various aspects, including definitions, procedures, liability, remedies, and sanctions. The government and relevant authorities are committed to revising and strengthening these laws to address the evolving nature and magnitude of sexual harassment. Key changes include the introduction of new provisions in the Labour Code 2019 to rectify previous shortcomings, as well as the issuance of Decree No. 145/2020/ND-CP and Decree No. 12/2022/ND-CP to clarify responsibilities, prevent harassment, and impose sanctions. Despite these improvements, there remain challenges in achieving a safe and harassment-free workplace.

Published: December 2023

This article is an analysis of whether the current law in Malaysia is sufficient to tackle healthcare fraud. The main problem of healthcare fraud in Malaysia context is the lack of specific provisions to combat it. The objective of the article is to highlight the gap in the laws by comparing the available local law and the laws in the United States of America. This article will cover the discussion on what is healthcare fraud, the forms of healthcare fraud as well as their effects. It will analyse the available legislation on healthcare fraud between the United States and Malaysia. Several types of healthcare fraud are identified such as billing schemes, kickbacks and medical identity theft. Several types of hospital fraud are identified, for example unnecessary procedures, corruption and unauthorised practice. The article’s finding manages to identify several deficiencies in the law concerning anti-fraud law, anti-kickbacks law, cybercrime law and medical negligence. These weaknesses stem from inadequate laws where they are not specific to the fraud involved. Several recommendations are provided in addition for improvement. To conclude, there is limited data of healthcare fraud to prompt any strengthening of current laws because the current laws does not encourage prosecutors, whistle-blower or victim to report healthcare fraud. A systematic data collection is necessary to further advance the cause in fighting healthcare fraud.

The  objectives  of  this  work  were  to  investigate  the  influence  of  germination times (24, 48, 72, 96, and 120 hours) and conditions (light and dark conditions) on the antioxidant activity and total phenolic compounds in mungbean sprout. Antioxidant  activity and  total  phenolic  content  were  analyzed  using  in  vitro methods,  with  the  antioxidant  activity  assessed  using  ABTS  and  DPPH methods. We observed a significant increase (p < 0.05)  in antioxidant activity using  the  ABTS  method,  which  decreased  after  48  hours  of  germination.  In contrast, the DPPH method showed a significant decrease (p < 0.05) followed by an increase in antioxidant activity after 48 hours of germination. Meanwhile, germination up to 48 hours significantly reduced (p < 0.05) the total phenoliccontent in both conditions, while against that time, it increased significantly (p <  0.05)  up  to  96  hours.  The  effects  of  germination  time  and  conditions  were significant (p < 0.05) for both antioxidant activities and total phenolic content. Generally,  germination  under  dark  conditions  resulted  in  lower  antioxidant activities and total phenolic content during the germination process
Effects Of Phytochemicals on Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus -A Short Review
Authors: Ishita Sinha, Moumita Dev, Dipsikha Bangal ,Sayani Dutta
Published: December 2023

Diabetes mellitus (DM) is the most prominent cause of mortality globally. It is a severe metabolic disorder marked by high blood glucose levels and insufficient insulin generation and activity. Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM) prevalence has risen dramatically due to population aging, obesity, and modern lifestyles. T2DM is distinguished by impaired beta pancreatic cell function and insulin production. Numerous studies have found that diabetes mellitus is related to increased free radical production and decreased antioxidant potential. Phytochemicals are essential in improving insulin sensitivity, which has free radical scavenging and antioxidant properties. Several phytoactive compounds, such as flavonoids, prophenylphenols, vicine, charantin, lignans, glycosides, and karavilosides, are also found to combat the complications of diabetes. The primary focus of this research will be the connection between T2DM and the preventative roles of several phytochemicals on diabetes through their antioxidant characteristics. These phytochemicals and photo sourcesmay be employed to discover and create novel anti-diabetic medicines

Authors: Joydeb Saha, Manisha Maity, Subhas Kanti Roy,Saheli Ghosal
Published: December 2023

Tribals have no fixed source of income and very little daily income. They are not regularly employed. They are not properly compensated. According to numerous studies, their economic and educational condition was insufficient. The majority of them were dependent on alcohol or tobacco and lived in mud-built homes. Several factors contribute to the poor nutritional condition of elderly people, including insufficient dietary iron, inadequate iron absorption, protein and micronutrient deficiencies, and infections. In a recent study, it was found that tribal people live an unfavorable lifestyle and are susceptible to respiratory, cutaneous, and other types of injuries. Low iron absorption, protein and micronutrient deficiencies, and infections lead to the poor nutritional status of the tribal people. In addition, tribal people are vulnerable to injuries, skin and respiratory problems, filarial diseases, and other illnesses due to their unfavorable lifestyles. According to the literature, various interventions, including nutrition and health promotion activities, are necessary to improve the occupational lifestyle of tribal people.
Antinutrient Phytic acid: Can be proved to be a Boon for Colorectal Cancer
Authors: Samarpita Bose, Manisha Maity, Sanjukta Kar
Published: December 2023

Phytic acid also known as inositol hexa-phosphate, is a simple ringed bioactive sugar molecule with six phosphate groups attached to each carbon. Cereals, pulses, and oil seeds contain considerable amounts of Phytic acid. Phytic acid is known as a potent anti-nutrient that binds with the minerals and forms chelates thus leading to mineral deficiency diseases if administered in excess dosage. The phytase (enzyme) containing foods can reverse the reaction and increase the bioavailability of minerals. In-spite of having anti-nutritional properties, phytic acid can be a boon for colorectal cancer. Colorectal cancer, the third most often malignant carcinoma, progresses sporadically in the setting of hereditary cancer syndromes, or on the basis of inflammatory bowel disease. Nutrients can directly affect the fundamental cellular processes and is considered as the most important risk factors in colorectal cancer. Colorectal Cancer occurs with the formation of polyps. Various mechanisms have been proposed for Phytic Acid as anti-tumorigenic abilities that are antioxidant properties, gene alteration, increase natural killer activity and cell cycle inhibition. Different studies suggest phytic acid can suppress tumour growth and prevent colorectal cancer. Phytic acid supplementation with its potential anti-inflammatory, antioxidant activity, and metal chelation capacity are of great deal of interest to improve the anticarcinogenic activity of chemotherapeutic drugs in combination or alone. Further studies are needed to establish the safe dosage of phytic acid in daily diet as well as for preventing colorectal cancer.

Authors: Priyanka Chatterjee, Sanjukta Kar, Joyeta Ghosh
Published: December 2023

The use of nutritional supplements (NS) for improving sports performance and health has become popular, and Citrulline and Arginine are the most frequently used supplements in these fields. The global market for dietary supplements has had consistent growth in sales in the last decades. More than half of the individuals use dietary supplement extensively. Present systematic review aims to understand the role of dietary arginine and Citrulline supplements for cardiovascular health and sports performance. The complicated connection between the control of hemodynamic and overall homeostasis and Citrulline and Arginine have been established. Citrulline and Arginine play important role in protecting skeletal as well as health of cardiac muscles and structural integrity and also are involved in many metabolic processes. Arginine has successfully mediated the release of the synthesis of creatinine growth hormone, which significantly increases strength and muscle mass. Also, Arginine is necessary to produce nitric oxide, which promotes skeletal muscle growth and also enhances vascular function. Overall, arginine supplements have a reasonable positive effect on the health of the heart, muscles and bones, as well as on maintaining and escalate exercise capacity. On the other hand, Citrulline can possibly converted into Arginine in many cell types and can effectively make up shortages of Arginine and nitric oxide in various pathological and physiological circumstances. Moreover, Citrulline helps to detoxify ammonia while decreasing stress levels and fatigue and promoting performance of exercise. In order to increase and enhance human athletic activities, both arginine and Citrulline are required

La elección de la persona verbal es uno de los aspectos inherentes en la enunciación subjetiva. El objetivo de este artículo es analizar la frecuencia de uso y los valores atribuidos a la primera y segunda persona en los enunciados de los hablantes de español y francés desde una perspectiva contrastiva francés-español. Partimos de un corpus de sesenta (60) reseñas de los mismos restaurantes publicadas en la plataforma TripAdvisor. Realizamos un estudio comparativo del uso de la primera (yo/nosotros) y segunda (tú/vosotros) personas en español y francés (je/nous/tu/vous), así como su valor enunciativo en el marco de la teoría de la subjetividad de la enunciación. Completamos nuestro trabajo analizando si el cliente que escribe reseñas en Internet enfatiza la fuerza argumentativa de su reseña mediante la persona verbal elegida y la utiliza para añadir una dimensión subjetiva a su escrito.Los resultados muestran que los hispanohablantes utilizan las personas verbales, especialmente las personas singulares (yo/tú), con más frecuencia que los francófonos para enfatizar la argumentación en sus críticas escritas. Asimismo, parece que los francófonos refuerzan sus opiniones positivas con el uso de la persona verbal, mientras que los hispanohablantes tienden a hacerlo cuando exponen opiniones negativas o pobres.
El ruiseñor de Keats como elección y pretexto. Sustratos textuales de T. S. Eliot, Marcelino Menéndez Pelayo y Julio Cortázar en la obra de Jorge Luis Borges
Authors: López Calahorro Inmaculada
Published: December 2023

En este trabajo realizamos un análisis intertextual a partir de las referencias de Jorge Luis Borges sobre unos versos de “Oda a un ruiseñor” de John Keats, donde cita a Schopenhauer. Posteriormente señalamos cómo a partir de los años 60, Borges otorgó al poeta inglés un lugar más destacado. Para este análisis demostramos los siguientes sustratos textuales: en primer lugar, para “Historia de la eternidad” (1936) y “El ruiseñor de Keats” (1951), “Tradition and the Individual Talent” de T. S. Eliot y la obra de Marcelino Menéndez Pelayo, tanto para el Schopenhauer con el que reflexiona sobre estos versos de la oda de Keats, como para la figura del precursor en “Kafka y sus precursores” (1951). De este modo, expondremos una génesis común de los dos textos de 1951, relacionada con el polígrafo español. En un segundo momento, comentaremos los trabajos de Julio Cortázar sobre Keats, que supusieron un revulsivo e impulso en el ámbito hispano, para lo que analizaremos algunas cuestiones propuestas y referencias bibliográficas que Borges pudo utilizar.
The Mockingbird and the Lion: Catalysts for Chaos in Game of Thrones
Authors: Pascual Berros Gabriela
Published: December 2023

The television series Game of Thrones (2011‒2019) was a cultural phenomenon that aroused great interest among audiences worldwide. HBO’s adaptation of George R. R. Martin’s A Song of Ice and Fire novel series can be deemed as a milestone for the fantasy genre, which has traditionally never been regarded as mainstream. Nevertheless, this level of success was only possible thanks to the brilliance in terms of storytelling with which palace intrigues were handled, most of them being orchestrated by the polarising characters of Petyr Baelish and Tywin Lannister: all of their spine-chilling schemes plunge Westeros into utter chaos, thus enabling plot development indirectly. Therefore, the aim of this article is to carry out a thorough comparative analysis of the aforementioned characters considering the notion of hegemonic masculinity, the understanding of subalternity by Gramsci, and the medieval social implications of hostageship in order to examine how the mayhem they cause inevitably triggers plot progression, thus subverting Propp’s original conception of the helper while overlapping with the character type of the villain.
Transcribir lo inquietante: Variaciones de lo siniestro en Herta Müller y Aglaja Veteranyi
Authors: Silos Ribas Lorena
Published: December 2023

La capacidad del arte y del cine de crear sensaciones de inquietud y angustia en los espectadores ha recibido una gran atención crítica en los últimos años (cf. Masschelein 2012; Lehmann 2016). Si bien la literatura posee las mismas herramientas que las artes visuales para trasladar tales sensaciones de desasosiego, hasta el momento los estudios literarios no han abordado con la misma extensión el estudio de la categoría estética de lo inquietante más allá del análisis de la literatura de terror (cf. Kühn-Rudenko 2011; Anderson, 2017). A partir de las tesis de Freud y de Jentsch, este estudio pretende establecer una metodología para el análisis de lo inquietante en el ámbito literario y examinar los recursos y estrategias estilísticas que contribuyen a materializar en un texto tales sensaciones. Con este fin, se han escogido dos textos de Herta Müller y Aglaja Veteranyi, ambas autoras de origen rumano cuya lengua literaria es el alemán y cuyos textos destacan por integrar experiencias de dislocación, extrañamiento y ruptura.

Estudio contrastivo de los operadores semántico-pragmáticos pour dire les choses (comme elles sont) y las cosas como son
Authors: Hermoso Mellado-Damas Adelaida
Published: December 2023

El objetivo de este artículo es llevar a cabo un estudio contrastivo de los marcadores discursivos pour dire les choses (comme elles sont), del francés, y las cosas como son, del español. Ambos marcadores poseen un rasgo en común: permiten al hablante participar en la instanciación de un enunciado en tanto que portavoz de un discurso cuyo origen le es ajeno y al que decide adherirse. A pesar de esta coincidencia, pour dire les choses y las cosas como son se diferencian en cuanto a la forma que presentan: el primero de ellos posee una forma de matriz léxica con variantes paradigmáticas que completan sus rasgos semánticos y pragmáticos. El segundo, por su parte, sería una locución adverbial completamente lexicalizada, sin posibilidades combinatorias, aunque sí con una forma similar que figura en el corpus en estructura libre y con parámetros muy similares a los de la expresión fija.

Purpose of the article: The study aims at investigating the impact of fear related to the COVID-19 crisis on sector indices on the stock market, in the face of anticipatory restrictions imposed by the authorities. The paper illustrates the investors’ decisions affected by fear. Research methods: The empirical study includes statistical analyses, in particular an analysis of the coefficient of variation. Main findings: The highest increase in the implied volatility index, which is used as a proxy of fear, is noted for the period of uncertainty (before the decisive reactions of government), during which, investors’ reactions are the most strongly related to fear and the negative sentiment affects all the sectors.
Evaluation of the Functioning of Start-Ups in the Lublin Voivodeship
Authors: Marzec-Braun Patrycja
Published: December 2023

Theoretical background: Due to dynamic civilization, technological, economic and social changes, modern entrepreneurs focus on creating innovative solutions with a high risk of failure. They adjust the specifics of their activities and the way of managing them to the market needs. As a result, entrepreneurs choose modern business models, focusing on a creative approach to their business. Operating in a turbulent environment, they flexibly adapt to the prevailing situation, while focusing on cooperation and sharing knowledge, creating start-up organizations. Purpose of the article: The aim of the publication is to identify the characteristics of start-ups operating in the Lublin Voivodeship based on the following criteria: gender, age, education and experience of the founder in running a start-up, period of functioning on the market and size of the start-up, stage of its development, industry and market in which it generates income and attitude to innovation. Research methods: The publication is based on research conducted in 2020–2021 for the doctoral dissertation. The sample for research was purposefully selected. The survey questionnaire was anonymous, it consisted of open and closed questions as well as a record, it was sent to respondents via the Internet. It was addressed to 350 start-ups from the Lublin Voivodeship, 97 of which were obtained from correctly completed questionnaires. Main findings: The founders of start ups in the Lublin region are mainly young men with higher education who have no experience in running a start-up. The surveyed start-ups create a flexible organizational structure, employ a small number of employees, operate on the market for a short time, are at an early stage of development, focus on the regional and national market, constantly introducing innovations. Start ups in the Lublin region should move towards more modern solutions and focus on expansion into foreign markets. On the other hand, the founders of start-ups in the Lublin region should compensate for the lack of experience by engaging in numerous initiatives developing entrepreneurial attitudes. Entrepreneurs in the Lublin region should also constantly monitor the situation on the market (analyze opportunities and threats) by creating innovative solutions tailored to customer needs and enabling an increase in the level of social welfare.
