Published: September 2022

In the last decade online shopping has been a consumer behavior that has changed the usual patterns of buying behavior in the market. This paper aims to present a literature review on the differences between the consumer characteristics that tend to purchase online food products and those who are later innovators of this new form of shopping. In the countries of the European Union there is an increase of 17% of online purchases for food products with a doubled trend of these purchases for rural areas. In the US, online food sales are expected to keep up after the pandemic and it is expected to double by 2025. Nevertheless, more than a decade ago, there is still a large group of customers resisting this way of buying. On the contrary, some surveys show that situational factors, such as having a baby or developing health problems, are triggers for starting to buy groceries online and also once these situational factors are gone consumer discontinues this behavior. Consumers consider online grocery shopping as an innovation that is different from other shopping channels. Online grocery buyers differ from the non-buyers in perception of online grocery shopping characteristics. The combination of using offline and online as called multichannel shopping, might be an interesting solution.

Ultraviolet film reduces bird–glass collision risk
Authors: Zyśk-Gorczyńska Ewa , Żmihorski Michał
Published: September 2022

It is estimated that millions of birds globally die due to collisions with glass surfaces. In order to reduce this mortality, it is essential to provide an objective assessment of the effectiveness of bird-friendly preventive methods. Several types of opaque films and stickers are available nowadays and can be highly effective in protecting birds from fatal collisions. However, by being visible to the human eye, they can affect the users’ quality of view from within protected spaces. Products that take advantage of the birds' ability to see ultraviolet light seem to offset these impediments. This study determines if UV-reflective BirdShades film prevents birds from collisions with glass in natural environmental conditions. We monitored eight glass bus stops, where we had previously recorded high numbers of birds collisions. On four of them, we applied UV film, and the other four bus stops were used as control. A generalized additive mixed model showed a significant interaction between time (before vs. after) and film UV treatment (control vs. treated). Before the treatment, the number of collisions tended to be higher at treated bus shelters than control. However, this significantly changed after the treatment, suggesting that UV film reduces bird glass collision rate over 5-fold. Our study is the first worldwide that tested UV film on glass shelters and supports a conclusion that the UV film efficiently reduces the risk of bird collision.

Mice above 200 mg/dL blood glucose levels were considered diabetic and used for further study. Experimental models were randomly divided into seven groups of five animals each. Group I consisted of normal mice orally administered with 0.1 ml physiological saline; Group II consisted of alloxan induced diabetic mice (150mg/Kg) orally administered with 0.1 ml physiological saline; Group III consisted of alloxan induced diabetic mice orally administered with 10 mg glibenclamide. Group 1V and Group V consisted of extract of 150mg/kg and 300mg/kg (T. nummularia). Group VI and Group VII consisted of extract of 150mg/kg and 300mg/kg (I. spicata). The mice treated with alloxan exhibited a significant increase in blood glucose level. The most effective dose of Taverniera nummularia for reducing blood glucose level was 150 mg/kg body weight after 10 and 15 days of alloxan treatment whereas Ifloga spicata was significantly more effective at 300 mg/kg body weight. Treatment with methanolic leaf extract of Taverniera nummularia and Ifloga spicata significantly decreased blood glucose level and resulted in increase in body weight under hyperglycemic conditions. The alloxan treated mice also exhibited a significant increase, total bilirubin, ALT, ALP, urea, creatinine, total proteins, triglycerides and LDL cholesterol content as compared with control group (p<0.05). Moreover, increases in the content of bilirubin, ALT, ALP, urea, creatinine, total proteins, triglycerides and LDL cholesterol due to hyperglycemia was normalized by treatment with methanolic extract of both the plant species. Methanolic leaf extract of T. nummularia and I. spicata showed good antidiabetic properties and could be exploited as sources of novel compounds for treatment of diabetes mellitus.

AISI 304L steel is widely preferred in many fields such as pipe sector, biomedical and nuclear industry due to its wear behavior and good machinability. In this experimental study, temperature-dependent wear properties and worn surface structures of AISI 304L steel were investigated. All tests were conducted by using pin-on-disc test equipment under unlubricated conditions. As ambient temperatures, 25Â°C, 50Â°C, 100Â°C, 150Â°C, and 200Â°C were selected. The results indicated that the main friction properties, wear mechanisms, and wear rate of the worn steel samples were significantly affected by altering the test temperatures. It was observed that the friction coefficient oscillated at lower temperatures, but this case was quite different at higher temperatures. Micro observations showed that mixed deformation characteristic dominated by adhesive wear was observed between 25Â°C and 150Â°C while abrasive wear became more effective between 150Â°C and 200Â°C. Moreover, wear rate and specific wear rate values increased until 150Â°C, then dropped as a result of changing the wear mechanism and contact surface structure.
FINANCE-BASED PROJECT SCHEDULING USING MULTIPLE SOURCES OF FINANCE: A MULTI-OBJECTIVE APPROACH
Authors: Hoseini Androod Sama , Bamdad Shahrooz
Published: September 2022

A successful project is subjected to timing and cash flow management. Different objectives are considered in project scheduling, and financial goals are the most challenging ones. Lack of liquidity is one of the problems that cause a delay. To avoid these delays, project financing is essential. In most projects, a credit line (CL) is considered a source of cash. The contractors should remain below the credit limit imposed by the lender bank. This limit may cause an extension in duration because some activities cost too much, and the available cash cannot satisfy the expenses. In this paper, a new finance-based scheduling model is proposed. In addition to CL, other resources like long-term and short-term loans are considered. The objective of this study is to minimize the project duration and financing costs. The results show that financing costs and project duration can be decreased by using different financing alternatives.

Published: September 2022

Pumpkin (Cucurbita moschata) is a fruit that contains large amount of dietary fiber. In this study, noodles were produced by substituting wheat flour with pumpkin powder at two concentrations (5% and 10%). The resulting noodles were then evaluated in terms of sensory, physicochemical, microstructure, and cooking properties. The addition of pumpkin powder caused a significant increase in ash, dietary fiber, Mg, K and Zn content, cooking loss, water absorption capacity and adhesiveness value, and a significant decrease in protein, fat and carbohydrate content, energy value, cohesiveness, resilience, gumminess, springiness and chewiness values. It was determined from microstructure images that pumpkin powder addition in the noodle formulation caused an interruption in the gluten-starch matrix. Control sample had significantly lower a* and b* values and higher L* values than the enriched samples. The noodles made with pumpkin powder received significantly higher sensory scores with regard to overall acceptability, flavor and color.

Sugar mixtures with different types are commonly used in biscuit formulation. This study investigates the mixture of crystal sugar (CS) and fine sugar (FS) for the quality of biscuits in terms of rheological, sensorial and physical properties. Mixture design approach was also used and the effect of model was significant for all dependent variables such as Tan ? in rheological, hardness and spread ratio (SR) in physical, general acceptability in sensorial analysis. With the crystal sugar decrement in the formulation, a reduction was observed for Tan ? values. High level replacement of CS with FS (from 50% to 100%) causes dramatic increase in SR values of biscuits. Decreasing the replacement level of CS increased the hardness value of biscuits. The results of this study showed that the type of sugar and the mixing ratio can significantly affect the physicochemical and sensory quality of the biscuit. The biscuit sample containing the 90% FS and 10% CS (F6) obtained the highest score for hardness, crispness, and general acceptability.

Published: September 2022

Saffron, containing carotenoids such as crocin, is a natural colorant with potential uses in food and pharmaceutical products and health benefits. In this study, the water-soluble crocin, the color substance of saffron was produced with spray-drying microencapsulation by maltodextrin as a wall material. The saffron before and after microencapsulation was researched in terms of physicochemical properties (moisture content and color values), total phenolic and flavonoid compounds, antioxidant capacity, and microencapsulation retention. Also, the bioactive and sensory properties in a model beverage obtained by adding these saffron microcapsules to apple juices in different proportions (30-180 ppm) were investigated. The result of the study showed that coloring apple juice with the lowest dose of 30 ppm saffron microcapsules improved its bioactive compounds, antioxidant activity, color, and overall flavor. This is the first study to use saffron microcapsules as a colorant and the results show that saffron microcapsules can be used as colorants and enrichments in food formulation.

Published: September 2022

This study aimed to investigate the effect of different legume and cereal flours on the proximate composition, and functional, powder, and sensory properties of the gluten-free tarhana. For this purpose, different legumes and cereal flours such as commercial gluten-free flour, rice flour, chickpea flour, bean flour, and yellow lentil flour were used. The moisture contents of tarhana samples were found to be lower than 10%. Based on the obtained results, it can be stated that the protein and cellulose contents of gluten-free tarhana samples can be significantly increased using rice (75.94% for protein and 15.29% for cellulose), chickpea (260.00% for protein and 115.88% for cellulose), bean (283.91% for protein and 385.88% for cellulose), and yellow lentil (277.19% for protein and 32.35% for cellulose) flours instead of commercial gluten-free flour (p<0.05). The highest water holding capacity (215.50%) and lowest oil holding (58.17%) capacity values were observed for bean flour and bean flour tarhana. While chickpea flour tarhana has superior properties in wettability time (33.80s), bean flour tarhana has superior properties in bulk density (961.53 kg/m3), flowability (very good level), and cohesiveness (low level) values compared to the other tarhana samples. The sensory evaluation showed that all tarhana samples had greater acceptance by the panelists.
