Inverse problem of determining the kernel of integro-differential fractional diffusion equation in bounded domain
Authors: Durdiev D. K. , Jumaev J. J.
Published: October 2023

In this paper, an inverse problem of determining a kernel in a one-dimensional integro-differential time-fractional diffusion equation with initial-boundary and overdetermination conditions is investigated. An auxiliary problem equivalent to the problem is introduced first. By Fourier method this auxilary problem is reduced to equivalent integral equations. Then, using estimates of the Mittag-Leffler function and successive aproximation method, an estimate for the solution of the direct problem is obtained in terms of the norm of the unknown kernel which will be used in study of inverse problem. The inverse problem is reduced to the equivalent integral equation. For solving this equation the contracted mapping principle is applied. The local existence and global uniqueness results are proven.

Published: October 2023

In this article, we present new results for the computation of structured singular values of non-negative matrices subject to pure complex perturbations. We prove the equivalence of structured singular values and spectral radius of perturbed matrix (M∆). The presented new results on the equivalence of structured singular values, non-negative spectral radius and non-negative determinant of (M∆) is presented and analyzed. Furthermore, it has been shown that for a unit spectral radius of (M∆), both structured singular values and spectral radius are exactly equal. Finally, we present the exact equivalence between structured singular value and the largest singular value of (M∆).

Authors: CEYLAN EROL Elif
Published: October 2023

Tasavvuf mensupları tarafından kullanılan ve “cihaz-ı tarikat, derviş çeyizi” gibi kavramlarla ifade edilen eşyalar malzeme, teknik ve süslemeleri ile Türk İslam sanat tarihi açısından önemli etnografik eserlerdir. Derviş çeyizlerinden kıyafetleri tâc-ı şerifler, sikke, destâr, arakıyye, gül mühürler, hırka, tennure, destegül, haydariyye, hüseyniyye, rida, ferace, cübbe, kemer, elif lam bend, şedd, tığbend, kanberiyye, destimâl, habbe, palheng, kamarçin türünde eserler oluşturmaktadır. Bu eserler tüm tarikatlarda bezeme açısından genel olarak sade bir yapı sergilerken Kadiriyye ve Nakşibendiyye tarikatlarındaki nakışlar dikkat çekmektedir.
Bu çalışmada Kadiriyye ve Nakşibendiyye tarikatlarında iki ile dört terkli tâc-ı şeriflerde, kemer ve hırkalarda işlenen nakışları oluşturan motifler araştırılmıştır. Kaynaklarda bu motiflere bedâhe adı verilmekle birlikte bedâhenin elif, kandil ve servi motiflerinden oluştuğu belirtilmekte, bedâhe isminin verilmesinin sebebi açıklanmamaktadır. Bu nedenle bedâhenin bir motif mi yoksa bu tür bezemenin genel adı mı olduğu konuları da netlik kazanmamıştır.
Kadiriyye ve Nakşibendiyye kıyafetlerindeki motiflerin analizinin yapılması ve Türk İslam sanatına ait mimari, el sanatları örneklerindeki benzer süslemelerle yapılan karşılaştırmalar sonucunda bu kıyafetlerdeki stilize geometrik motiflerin ayrıntıda stilize baklava motifi olarak tanımlanan süslemeler olarak farklı eserler üzerinde kullanıldığı görülse de tarikat kıyafetlerinde bu durumun özel bir şekil aldığı tespit edilmiştir. Yapılan araştırmalar sonucunda bedâhe kavramının eserler üzerinde yer alan ve farklı kombinasyonlarla bir araya gelen stilize geometrik kompozisyonları ifade ettiği, bu kombinasyonlarla servi, kandil ve elif olarak ayırt edilen süslemelerin oluşturulduğu görülmüştür. Bedâhe kompozisyonlar Türk İslam sanatında Kadiriyye ve Nakşibendiyye kıyafetleri ile ilgili tarikatların mimari eserlerinde görülmeleri bakımından da ünik bezemelerdir.

The present study aims to explore the perceptions and usage of Augmented Reality (AR) technology among media students in Palestinian universities. A quantitative approach was adopted, and data was gathered from a web-based survey of 237 media students. The Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) was utilized to gauge participants' perceptions of AR, and descriptive statistics were used for analysis. The findings reveal a generally positive perception of AR as a beneficial tool for skill enhancement, with mean scores ranging from 3.70 to 4.04 indicating strong agreement. The study also found moderate to high AR usage among participants, particularly for translating texts using Google Translate, but noted that usage patterns were more individual-oriented. Additionally, 91.1% of respondents attributed the COVID-19 pandemic to increased technology usage in higher education. The novelty of this study lies in providing insights into the perception and application of AR in higher education within the Palestinian context, an under-researched area. The study sheds light on the potential for integrating AR more formally into curricula, which could foster a more engaging and immersive educational experience. However, it also highlights the need to address barriers such as lack of technical support and possible discomfort with technology. Doi: 10.28991/ESJ-2023-SIED2-016 Full Text: PDF

La semántica subyacente en la filosofía paraconsistente de da Costa
Authors: Pazos María Alicia , Gaytán David
Published: October 2023

Presentamos un análisis crítico del cálculo paraconsistente C1 de Newton da Costa. La estrategia considera lo que denominamos categorías semánticas subyacentes a una lógica, a partir de las cuales exploramos una noción de significado más amplia para ésta que la que la semántica formal proporciona. Mediante el examen de las categorías semánticas asociables en principio a este cálculo, y el análisis de una reconstrucción racional de un caso histórico de inconsistencia, argumentamos que existe cierta inadecuación al interior de la estructura semántica de C1, comprendida en el marco más general de significado; y también que existe una inadecuación entre esta estructura semántica general y aquellas categorías semánticas del pensamiento científico que estaría modelando. A partir de todo lo anterior, concluimos un breve argumento en favor de que las contradicciones científicas deberían preferentemente modelarse (en contra, por lo menos, de algunas de las propuestas hegemónicas) como fórmulas necesariamente falsas.
Los teoremas de E. Husserl sobre la parte y el todo. Un análisis desde la mereología modal
Authors: Canela Morales Luis Alberto
Published: October 2023

En la introducción al primer capítulo de la tercera investigación lógica, Husserl plantea su teoría mereológica (relación entre objetos independientes y no-independientes) como parte fundamental de una teoría pura de los objetos. A partir de este análisis sobre la parte y el todo, Husserl presenta seis teoremas que resumen dichas relaciones. Sorprendentemente, no ofrece ninguna demostración formal de ellos, ni tampoco se prueba la validez de los mismos. Los objetivos de este artículo son: exponer dichos teoremas, luego proponer una traducción lógica apoyado en los desarrollos mereológicos contemporáneos, en ello yace la originalidad de este escrito, enseguida presentar las traducciones lógicas ya existentes y, finalmente, las conclusiones pertinentes relativas al alcance la propuesta husserliana.

Introduction. Mechanical kidney injuries lead to renal dysfunction and vasospastic reaction, resulting in adaptive reactions of the organism, with the possibility of formation of secondary arterial hypertension. Purpose of the study: to determine the types of central gemodynamics, intrarenal blood flow characteristics, correlation interrelations of indices and to estimate the risks of secondary posttraumatic arterial hypertension development after Grade I-III kidney injury. Material and methods. Systemic hemodynamic parameters with identification of blood circulation type and intrarenal hemodynamic parameters were studied in 196 male victims in the posttraumatic period, the control group consisted of 30 men. During statistical processing Pearson correlation coefficients (r) and linear regression coefficient of determination (r2) were additionally calculated. Results. After kidney injury, the organ blood flow velocity was increased from 12,5% to 31,2%, resistance index (RI) increased from 4,7% to 44,8%, and pulsation index (PI) decreased from 9,2% to 41,2%. The indices of intrarenal vascular resistance were in negative from very strong to medium strength correlation with the parameters of systemic hemodynamics in the following gradation structure by decreasing strength: total peripheral resistance → diastolic blood pressure → systolic blood pressure → mean arterial pressure → stroke volume → cardiac index → minute volume of blood. Hypokinetic type steadily prevailed in central hemodynamics, the share of eukinetic type increased, and hyper-kinetic type of hemodynamics remained at a constant level. Conclusion. After kidney injury of non-critical severity the ascertained parameters of systemic and organ hemodynamics do not possess predictive power for realization of direct causal relationship in the development of secondary renoparenchymatous arterial hypertension.

Introduction. Alpha1-blockers previously have been considered as essential antihypertensive drugs with relatively good results in long-term administration. This effect on metabolism has been noted, in particular on the lipid spectrum and glycemic profile. However, at present, drugs of this group are not considered even in the reserve of basic metabolic therapy. The aim of our study was to study the effect of reducing insulin resistance in patients with long-term administration of a uroselective alpha1-blocker (Tamsulosin) in combination with vitamin-like drugs. Materials and methods. Under our supervision there was a group of patients of 63 people, which included 36 men and 27 women. The mean age in the observation group was 60 ± 1.56 years, ranging from 29 to 81 years. An original study design was developed, which involved combination therapy in combination with alpha-lipoic acid, L-carnitine and nootropics instead of monotherapy with one alpha1-blocker. Results. The study showed that with an average duration of therapy of 16 ± 2 months, an improvement in biochemical parameters of glucose metabolism was noted in 61% of patients. In the general observation group, there was a decrease in blood glucose (7.01 ± 0.29 → 6.32 ± 0.19, р = 0.004), plasma insulin (21.33 ± 1.75 → р=0.0007) and C-peptide (4.00 ±0.30 → 3.15 ±0.19, p=0.0003), glycated hemoglobin (5.99 ±0.17 → 5.90 ±0 .10, р=0.25). Similar changes are also observed in the subgroup of men and the subgroup of women. In patients under 60 years of age with a duration of therapy of 11 ± 3 months, deviations of the glycemic profile from the norm were less pronounced, while the correction of insulin resistance was carried out more effectively, in the subgroup of patients over 60 years of age, more therapy time was required (20 ± 3 months), but still , insulin resistance decreased less pronounced than in the subgroup younger than 60 years. Conclusions. The results of combined metabolic therapy support the hypothesis that alpha1-blockers have the properties of drugs with metabolic action in long-term administration, and in combination with vitamin-like drugs, such treatment can be considered as an alternative option to reduce insulin resistance and improve follow-up outcome.

Availability of phosphorus in soils is one of the factors affecting crop production. In acid soils, though total phosphorus is high, its availability is very low due to adverse environmental and resulting pedogenic factors. An attempt was made therefore, to assess the phosphorus availability in soils of Nilgiris, and to study the effect of rainfall, elevation and various chemical constituents like organic carbon, sesquioxides, calcium, magnesium, cation exchange capacity, on the availability of phosphorus. Based on the observations made, a tentative division of the soils was done with reference to availability of phosphorus and response to lime.

The tendency of power of every species including the human one is to increase at a geometric rate, while under the most favourable circumstances usually to be found, its subsistence increases at an arithematic rate", said Malthus (1792). One of the darkest spots on the face of the earth but which was systematically hidden or covered over by the dominant groups is the existence of the great demographic areas of starving population, which dominate enormous regions. Food is the nation's biggest problem. According to a recent United Nation's Survey, 80 per cent of the people of the world have never had and will not have in the foreseeable future what an American or European family takes for granted as a good square meal. Till now the countries have concentrated on agricultural development on modern scientific lines and large scale industrialisation with foreign technical aid. But experience during the last decade and half has shown that in the desparate race between population growth and economic development, the latter has been losing. The addition to national income generated by both these approaches have been more than swallowed up by the increasing number of new mouths. Thus the biggest barrier in the path of rapid economic development is the existing large population. The country cannot lower her standard on living any further. Nor can any one suggest raising the death rate. So the way out appears to be rapid economic development and a drastic reduction in the birth rate.

Rorty (1946) as quoted by McKelvy et al (1953) declared rightly that phosphorus is the bottleneck of world's hunger. Acid soils as those found in the Nilgiris pose an economic problem, due to the undesirable nature of the transformation, phosphorus undergoes in acid soils. The applied phosphorus is rapidly fixed as insoluble and unavailable compounds. The native reserve of phosphorus also remains unavailable due to the acid conditions which prevent the sesquioxidio phosphates from being released as phosphorus in available forms, as is possible in a limed soil. The magni- tude of this problem of phosphorus unavailability can be seen from the abnormal rate of 214 lb of P₂O, in the Nanjanad mixture used extensively on the Nilgiris, though a normal potato crop removes on an average 40 lb P₂O, per acre. Detailed information regarding the phosphorus fixation problem in the Nilgiris is not available. Therefore, a detailed study of the tract is indispensable to supply information on this aspect.
Studies on the effect of Gibberellin on Growth and Flowering of Dahlia
Authors:   Soil Conservation Research Centre, Bellary, S.P MITTAL
Published: October 2023

Gibberellins display a remarkable diversity of physiological effects, including those on growth, flowering, fruiting and dormancy. In most cases, if not always, the direct action of GA is stem elongation, followed by flower bud formation as a direct effect of this stem elongation but as an indirect effect of GA (Phinne and West 1960, Wellensiek 1962.) The stem elongation is due to the increased length of internodes; the number of internodes is generally not affected (Brain 1958), Marth et al 1956 and Ralley 1959). Within a certain range, the increase in heigt following treatment with GA is proportional to the dose applied. Marked increase in fresh and dry weight as a result of GA application has also been reported by Rappaport (1957 b) and Bukovac and Wittwer (1956) in Earlypak tomato and Celery plants respectively. In the present study an attempt has been made to study the effect of foliar application of GA on general growth and flowering of Dahlia.

For scientific crop breeding approach, a precise knowledge of anthesis and pollination is the prerequisite. Since anthesis and pollination vary greatly according to the environment in which the crop is grown, a detailed study of these two aspects has to be made at the locality where the hybridization programme is carried out. Closely with the study of anthesis and pollination, various artificial hybridization techniques under the same environment have to be experimented with a view to fix up the best. Under Coimbatore conditions, since a comparative study of different hybridiation techniques and the nature of anthesis in rice was not made before, this item of work was undertaken at the Paddy Breeding Station, Coimbatore between 1959 and 1961.

Water is essential for every living being. It has become an essential raw material also. No farm produce can be made without water. There is no power generation, thermal or hydel, without water. There is no industry which does not use water. For example, petroleum refineries requirie 770 gallons of water for every barrel of petroleum refined; steel plants require 65,000 gallons of water for every ton of steel they turn out; synthetic rubber manufacturing concerns use 600,000 gallons of water for every ton of synthetic rubber they produce. A quantity of 1.25 million gallons of water is required to irrigate one acre of paddy crop.

In the Southern hirsutum-arborcum region comprising the States of Madras and Kerala, the arboreum component of Madras cottons consti- tutes, agriculturally, the most important crop in the rainfed black soils, occupying nearly 45 per cent of the total area under cotton in the State. The cotton crop grown in the black soils of the Southern and Central districts of Madras State comprised more than one desi variety, styled in trade ns Uppam, Tinnies and Karunganni. Uppam is a short stapled variety, belonging to G. herbaceum var frutescence and is under cultivation in a pure form in parts of Central districts and near the coastal belts of the Southern districts. Karunganni is a medium stapled cotton classified under G. arboreum var neglectum forma indica cultivated extensively as a rainfed crop, and to a limited extent as an irrigated crop in portions of Coimbatore end Madurai districts. Tinnies on the other hand is a variable mixture of both Uppam and Karunganni cultivated in fairly large areas in the Southern districts. Though far inferior to Karunganni in quality, this mixture was preferred by cotton growers to meet the vagaries of season and was extensively grown in the maritime regions of the Tirunelveli district, receiving late rains.

Os anos oitenta, no Brasil, foram marcados por amplas lutas dos movimentos sociais, os quais protagonizaram a abertura política e influenciaram o processo constituinte, formalizando reivindicações e conquistas das classes trabalhadoras; dentre as quais a configuração da Saúde como política pública, não contributiva, de Seguridade Social, conforme a Constituição Federal de 1988. A promulgação da “Constituição Cidadã” trouxe ainda avanços no campo social, com a instituição dos conselhos, na tentativa de corrigir injustiças acumuladas durante séculos, quando o Estado foi incapaz de promover a universalização dos direitos. Nesse contexto, o controle social é uma das estratégias inovadora da relação Estado-sociedade preconizada pela Lei 8.142/90 como forma de inserir na gestão do Sistema Único de Saúde (SUS) a participação popular, já que modernamente, controle social compreende o controle e a vigilância da sociedade sobre as ações do Estado. Este trabalho analisou a produção cientifica a respeito da participação e do controle social no setor saúde, no Brasil, no período advindo da Carta Constitucional de 1988, de autores e anos diversos. Ao analisar o material selecionado foi possível concluir que apesar do direito de participação e controle social estar garantido pela legislação vigente, o processo para a construção desses direitos caracteriza-se por vários desafios na consolidação de uma esfera pública democrática. O aumento do número de espaços formais para essas atividades não garante a qualidade da participação. Em outras palavras, torna-se necessária a constante avaliação do potencial de co-gestão dos sujeitos envolvidos, bem como se os espaços institucionais têm sido usados para a tomada de decisões em favor de interesses coletivos, de forma democrática, ou se apenas surgiram novos espaços para representação de velhos interesses coorporativos e individuais.

Os procedimentos estéticos podem ter impactos positivos na qualidade de vida das pessoas. Já que os procedimentos estéticos, como cirurgia plástica e tratamentos dermatológicos, podem melhorar a aparência física, o que, por sua vez, aumenta a autoestima e a autoconfiança das pessoas. A melhoria na aparência muitas vezes diminui a ansiedade e o estresse associado à insatisfação com a própria imagem, resultando em uma melhor qualidade de vida emocional. Alguns procedimentos estéticos, como a cirurgia de redução de seios, podem aliviar dores nas costas e desconforto físico associados às características corporais indesejadas. Muitas pessoas que passam por procedimentos estéticos se tornam mais motivadas para manter um estilo de vida saudável, incluindo dieta equilibrada e exercícios, para manter os resultados satisfatórios. Portanto, aumentar a autoconfiança por meio de procedimentos estéticos pode melhorar a forma como as pessoas se relacionam com os outros, aumentando a qualidade de suas interações sociais. No entanto, é importante notar que os procedimentos estéticos devem ser realizados com responsabilidade e atenção pelos riscos potenciais. Além disso, uma busca excessiva pela perfeição estética pode ter impactos negativos na saúde mental. Portanto, a decisão de passar por um procedimento estético deve ser bem ponderada e discutida com profissionais de saúde apresentados.

A indústria cosmética constantemente busca alternativas para a utilização de compostos sintéticos em seus produtos. Os compostos de origem natural têm servido como apoio para o desenvolvimento de novos produtos para bronzeamento, batons, cremes e maquiagens. Particularmente as enzimas proteolíticas naturais tem chamado a atenção por servirem como matéria prima para a produção desses produtos. No mamão (Carica papaya L.) podemos encontrar a enzima proteolítica papaína que é formada por um conjunto de outras enzimas. A papaína, além de suas aplicações em produtos cosméticos, tem sido utilizada para o tratamento de feridas na pele e tratamento de caries. Suas aplicações cosméticas estão relacionadas a produtos que são capazes de causar a descamação e renovação de camadas da pele (peeling). Devido a importância da papaína para o desenvolvimento de produtos cosméticos, tivemos como objetivo realizar uma revisão da literatura cientifica sobre a aplicação da papaína em produtos cosméticos. Para isso, realizamos uma busca de artigos científicos indexados na base de dados Web of Science.

Investigation and optimization of cadmium ion adsorption from wastewater using raw and activated carbon of Pterocarpus santalinoides fruit
Authors: Christopher C. Onyemenonu  , Leo C. Osuji  , Nnaemeka C. Ngobiri
Published: October 2023

Treatment of heavy metal polluted water still remains a serious challenge for some developing countries without centralized wastewater systems. This study examined the potential of raw and activated carbon from Pterocarpus santalinoides fruit as an adsorbent for the removal of cadmium ions from contaminated water. Instrumental techniques such as fourier transform infra red spectrophotometer (FTIR), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and atomic absorption spectrophotometer (AAS) were used to characterize the adsorbents. The study analyzed the effect of various factors, including adsorbent dosage (0.1 – 0.5 g), cadmium concentration (10 – 50 mg/l), contact time (20 – 100 min), and temperature (30 – 70 ℃), respectively, on the adsorption of Cd2+ ions. The experimental findings revealed that the adsorbents have a high adsorption capacity for the removal of Cd2+ from aqueous solutions. Adsorption isotherms and kinetic models were applied to access the adsorption mechanism of cadmium removal. The Langmuir adsorption isotherm and pseudo-second-order model were found to fit the equilibrium data. Additionally, the adsorbents’ efficiency were evaluated using central composite design (CCD) adapted from response surface methodology (RSM). Using adsorption percentage as a response, a 30 run experimental matrix was generated by the CCD based on the interaction effects of the four earlier stated variables. According to the results obtained, a linear model was generated, which indicated good predictability and results agreed with the experimental data. The contact time and adsorbent dosage were predicted to have a positive effect on the adsorption process. At optimal conditions of adsorbent dosage (0.5 g), contact time (100 min), cadmium concentration (46.93 mg/l), and temperature (70 ℃), a desirability of 84 % was achieved by a numerical optimization approach demonstrating cadmium ion adsorption of 93 % for the raw and activated carbon from Pterocarpus santalinoides fruit.
A review on antibiotics in the environment, resistance in microbes, impact on human health and treatment and future strategies for tackling the global problem
Authors: OP Bansal
Published: October 2023

The introduction of antibiotics was a blessing to human civilization as the antibiotics saved several million human and animal lives. Due to overuse and misuse of antibiotics by humans in the healthcare, and agriculture sectors, the residues of the antibiotics were reported in all the segments of the environment (surface water, groundwater, river water, soil, sediments, wastewater effluent, hospital effluent, livestock, fish, fruits, vegetables and milk) from ng to mg/L or kg that results in the rapid increase in the number of antibiotic resistant bacteria. Antibiotic resistance has been listed by the World Health Organization before Covid 19 as one of the top 10 threats to human health globally. Though antibiotic resistance is inevitable it is mainly anthropogenic and is an important factor of increased healthcare costs, longer hospital stay stress on hospital beds and ICU and higher rates of morbidity and mortality. The invention of new antibiotics to cope the resistant bacterial infection is the need of the hour but as bacterial infections is not an ongoing process (have a lower return) unlike chronic diseases hypertension, and diabetes the pharmaceutical companies are not very interested in the inventions. This article discusses the antibiotics in the different compartments of the environment, the antibacterial mechanisms of the antibiotics, causes of development and mechanisms of antibiotic resistance in bacteria and mechanisms/methods to combat antibiotic resistance.

Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui kualitas sensoris bakso daging sapi yang disubstitusi daging tuna. Bakso dibuat dengan komposisi 60% daging sapi, 20% tepung tapioka, 16% es batu, 2% garam, 1,2% bawang putih, 0,5% lada bubuk, dan 0,3% albumen. Daging sapi disubstitusi daging ikan tuna dengan level 0%, 10% dan 30%. Variabel yang diteliti adalah warna, aroma, rasa, tekstur, dan rasa bakso. Data diuji statistik ANOVA rancangan acak lengkap, dengan 3 level daging ikan tuna (0%, 10%, 30%), masing-masing 5 ulangan. Perbedaan antar perlakuan diuji lanjut dengan uji Duncan. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa daging sapi yang disubstitusi daging ikan tuna pada level yang berbeda berpengaruh nyata (P<0.05) terhadap warna dan aroma bakso, tetapi berpengaruh tidak nyata terhadap kekenyalan, tekstur, dan rasa bakso. Skor warna bakso daging sapi dengan 0% daging ikan tuna (3,53) lebih rendah (P<0.05) dibanding 10% (4,20) dan 30% (4,13). Skor aroma bakso daging sapi dengan 0% daging ikan tuna (3.80) lebih tinggi (P<0.05) dibanding 10% (3,00) dan 30% (3,33). Dapat disimpulkan bahwa substitusi daging sapi dengan daging ikan tuna, akan membuat warna bakso daging sapi lebih baik (abu-abu), dengan kekenyalan, tekstur, dan rasa yang sama dengan bakso daging sapi tanpa disubstitusi daging ikan tuna. 

ABSTRACT 

This study aimed to determine the sensory quality of beef meatballs substituted by tuna meat. Meatballs are made with a composition of 60% beef, 20% tapioca flour, 16% ice cubes, 2% salt, 1.2% garlic, 0.5% ground pepper, and 0.3% albumen. The beef was substituted by tuna meat with levels of 0%, 10%, and 30%. The variables studied were color, aroma, taste, texture, and taste of the meatballs. Data were tested statistically by ANOVA completely randomized design, with 3 levels of tuna meat (0%, 10%, 30%), 5 replications each. Differences between treatments were tested further with Duncan's test. The results showed that beef substituted by tuna meat at different levels had a significant effect (P<0.05) on the color and aroma of the meatballs, but had no significant effect on the elasticity, texture, and taste of the meatballs. The color score of beef meatballs with 0% tuna meat (3.53) was lower (P<0.05) than 10% (4.20) and 30% (4.13). The aroma score of beef meatballs with 0% tuna meat (3.80) was higher (P<0.05) than 10% (3.00) and 30% (3.33). It can be concluded that the substitution of beef with tuna meat will make the beef meatball color better (gray), with the same elasticity, texture, and taste as beef meatballs without tuna meat being substituted.
