Coping with Homesickness after Migration: Contact in Art Therapy
Authors: Morales Macias S. Eunice , Schoch Kerstin
Published: July 2024

Migrating to a different country may prompt homesickness (HS), which may in turn impact mental and physical health. HS involves feelings of longing and grief for the home left behind and is influenced by the challenges of adjusting to the new environment. Contact is disrupted from familiar environments and social networks. Contact with self and the new environment may become challenging. Art therapy encourages self-expression and reflection using art materials and techniques and considers a body-mind-emotion connection. For this master’s thesis, a one-session art therapy intervention with a focus on contact was developed to support coping with HS after migration. The intervention was tested individually in a quantitative pilot study with adults who immigrated voluntarily to Germany in a pre-post-test control group design. HS was measured with the Dundee Relocation Inventory (DRI; Fisher, 2017). First, an online screening survey with the DRI pre-test and demographic data was conducted (N = 58). Then, participants were randomly assigned to the experimental group (n = 7) or the control group (n = 4; received intervention after posttest). The art therapy intervention was carried out, followed by the DRI post-test and evaluation questions. A one-way ANCOVA revealed a significant group effect (p = .041, ηp2 = .42), with the intervention group showing lower HS scores. The complete sample (n = 11) rated the intervention as highly engaging, meaningful, and having greatly helped them process their HS better. These preliminary results suggest that art therapy may be implemented to support migrants experiencing HS. Limitations and implications are discussed, and recommendations for future research are provided.

Published: July 2024

Existe un marcado interés por parte de los monasterios del Ecuador en homogenizar la calidad del vino para consagrar, utilizado en liturgias cristianas y en la misa. Una de las diferencias de producción entre monasterios es la preparación de la uva para el proceso de fermentación. El objetivo de esta investigación fue comparar los parámetros fisicoquímicos (grado alcohólico, sólidos solubles, intensidad del color, tonalidad, turbidez) y las variables organolépticas (olor, color, sabor y aceptabilidad), para dos técnicas diferentes de vinificación aplicadas en monasterios: maceración diferida (licuado) y maceración tradicional (prensado). La variedad de uva utilizada fue Cabernet Sauvignon provenientes del Valle del Cascas, Perú. Los vinos fueron obtenidos en los laboratorios de la Carrera Agroindustrial en la UTN, Ecuador. Los ensayos se realizaron con tres repeticiones. Se determinaron características cromáticas por el método de Gloríes, sólidos solubles, grado de alcohol y análisis sensorial por la cofradía del vino, Ecuador. Los datos fueron analizados estadísticamente por medio del análisis de varianza, pruebas de Rangos Múltiples y análisis multivariado, utilizando el programa estadístico STATGRAPHICS Centurion. Los dos vinos tuvieron diferencias significativas entre las medianas de las variables fisicoquímicas y organolépticas estudiadas. Los vinos con maceración tradicional alcanzaron mejores características con intensidad de color de 1.20; tonalidad 0.57; porciento intensidad del color rojo de 62.60 y transparencia de 2.58. Clasificando como vinos tintos, jóvenes, un color rojo similar a la sangre, mejor transparencia y mayor aceptabilidad. Concluyendo que el vino con maceración tradicional presentó mejores características cromáticas y organolépticas que favorecen la estabilidad futura.

Authors: Chico Mayra Fernanda , Sampedro Tatiana
Published: July 2024

The food industry contributes around 40% of the containers and packaging used and discarded until 2020 worldwide. Social, environmental, and political interest in the development of biodegradable containers is growing, as is the demand of consumers for fresh and quality food products. Bioplastics are classified according to their chemical composition, origin, and synthesis process. Polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHA) are materials of microbial origin, while polylactic acid (PLA) is obtained from lactic acid and the chemical reaction of lactide that produces the biomaterial. This work explores, through a bibliographic review, the principles and production of bioplastics made from polylactic acid (PLA) and polyhydroxybutyrate (PHB) and their application in food packaging. These materials constitute particularly interesting materials due to their potential in a wide range of applications. Physical-chemical properties of the biomaterials requested to make food packaging are permeability to moisture, oxygen permeability, and mechanical properties. The requirements established for the different types of packaging used in the food industry can be achieved by these biomaterials. In the same way, the environmental, economic, and industrial advantages and the challenges encountered for their massive use have been estimated. It was identified that the reduction of manufacturing costs can be achieved through the use of agricultural biomass residues as a source of substrate for fermentation processes. PLA and PHB are particularly interesting materials due to their potential in a wide range of applications in the food industry due to their biodegradation capacity and efficiency.

Fresh cheese represents a staple food of great importance for some communities, as well as an income from its commercialization; however, in some cases, the way it is processed could represent a risk to human health. Therefore, the objective of this study was to determine the sanitary quality of unpasteurized fresh cheeses intended for human consumption in Sinaloa. A total of 15, 20, 10, and 15 cheese samples were taken from Mazatlán, Culiacán, Guasave, and Los Mochis in the state of Sinaloa, México, respectively. The microbiological analysis was performed based on the Official Mexican Standard NOM-210-SSA1-2014. In accordance with the standard, the content of Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus aureus and Salmonella spp. was estimated. Of the total samples analyzed, 97% showed Escherichia coli, 57% S. aureus, and 13% Salmonella spp., above the reference values. The presence of indicator microorganisms and pathogens represents a risk factor for acquiring foodborne diseases, and also makes evident the need to improve hygienic practices in the preparation and preservation of these products.

Authors: Gupta Suresh
Published: July 2024

Binary encounter approximation has been used for theoretical calculations of electron impact single ionization cross sections of singly ionized Ar atom at ground state in the energy range of 29.1eV to 2495.1 eV/amu. The cross sections for energy transfer given by Vriens’ and quantum mechanical Hartree-Fock velocity distributions for target electron have been used in the calculation. The contributions in total single ionization cross sections from 3p and 3s subshells are observed higher than from 2p, and the contributions from 3p first increases with impact energy and then decreases with increase of impact energy whereas the contribution from 3s decreases with impact energy. About 69% of results have ratio factors ≤ 1.5 and 59% have values 1.25. Major contributions to the total ionization cross sections are from 3p and 3s for direct single ionization.

Published: July 2024

An empirical study was conducted to determine the effects of the consortium's use of real-world karier on guidance group counseling. This research uses a quantitative approach in case of a pre-experiment using a model one group pre-test post-test design. The subjects under investigation are 52 students from SMP Plus Al-Amien Sabrang Ambulu's IX grade, who are divided into two study groups. Purposive sampling is a sample preparation technique that uses angket criteria based on interval kelas. The data collection method using angket is a kuisoner that is adjusted based on the indicator-indicator of the karier's decission. The results of the Wilcoxon hipotesis analysis indicate that there is a difference between the pre-test and post-test results with a significance level of 0.018 (Asymp.Sig.(2-tailed) < 0,05), meaning that (Ha) is true and (Ho) is false. A few factors that affect the development of karier stem from within and include bakat, minat, sifat kepribadian, and self-awareness. On the other hand, external factors include the impact of outside influences and schooling. However, this research does not reveal more depth regarding external factors originating from the surrounding community and social status such as parents' educational background, parents' income level, area of residence, and ethnicity in the area around where they live. So it is a suggestion for future researchers to study this matter more deeply._____________________________________________________________Sebuah studi empiris dilakukan untuk mengetahui pengaruh layanan konseling kelompok dalam  pengambilan keputusan karier.

Gold in refractory gold ore is difficult to be extracted by conventional metallurgical method due to the presence of sulfide minerals with elevated levels of iron (Fe), sulfur (S), and arsenic (As) as impurities, resulting in low gold (Au) recovery. Conventional methods such as cyanide leaching has been proven ineffective for gold extraction from refractory ore due to gold being intricately bound within the sulfide minerals. Consequently, this study explores the application of bioleaching as an alternative to conventional cyanide leaching. Shewanella oneidensis (S. oneidensis) and Acidithiobacillus ferroxidans (A. ferroxidans) serve as bio-reduction and bio-oxidation agents, respectively in the bioleaching process. The composition of minerals in the ore was determined through XRD analysis (Model: Rigaku’s Miniflex 600) and EDX analysis (Model EDX 3). Meanwhile, SEM analysis (Zeiss EVO LS15 SEM) was utilized to examine the morphology structure. The concentrations of impurities (Fe, S, and As) were assessed using a spectrophotometer (Model: DR3900 Hach) meanwhile the Au concentration was determined through ICP-OES (Model: G8015A5110 ICP-OES). Sieved refractory gold ore samples with less than 32 um and varying in weight (0.5 g, 1.0 g, 1.5 g, 2.0 g), underwent bio-reduction and bio-oxidation processes. The results indicated a rougher surface morphology of raw sample as observed through SEM analysis. Furthermore, XRD and EDX results demonstrated a decrease in impurity concentrations, suggesting a potential increase in gold purity. Notably, the bio-reduction process exhibited a superior enhancement in Au concentration with the values of 138.89% compared to biooxidation with the value 122.22%. Thus, the bio-reduction process proved more effective in increasing Au concentration compared to bio-oxidation.

Osmanlı padişahları şehzade ya da sultanların doğumu, şehzadelerin sünnet edilmesi, saray düğünleri, mukaddes günler ve dinî bayramlar, ordunun sefere çıkması ve önemli bir elçinin gelişi gibi münasebetlerle çeşitli şenlikler düzenlemişlerdir. Şüphesiz bunlardan en çok yapılanı doğum ve sünnet şenlikleridir. III. Ahmed de çocuklarının doğumu ve şehzadelerinin sünnet düğünleri münasebetiyle zengin ve renkli gösterilere sahne olan birçok şenlik düzenletmiştir. Bunlara ilişkin bazı detaylar Osmanlı kroniklerinde yer aldığı gibi bir kısım arşiv belgelerinde de bu tarz eğlencelere ışık tutacak bilgiler bulunmaktadır.

Bu çalışmada III. Ahmed (1703-1730) döneminde yapılan veladet-i hümâyûnlar, Osmanlı saray düğünleri ve bayram merasimlerine dair açıklayıcı bilgiler verildikten sonra yapılan söz konusu şenliklere ilişkin detaylar bazı belgelerle desteklenmiştir. Bu kayıtlar arasında, sadrazamın menzil tebriki, Sadabad’da şenlik düzenlenmesi, hava muhalefetinin şenliğin te’hirine ve bazen de elçiye verilecek ziyafet hususunda etkili olmasına dair vesikalar da bulunmaktadır. Ayrıca yeni yazıya çevrilerek transkripsiyonu yapılan bu belgelerin bir kısmında III. Ahmed’in şenlik hususunda verdiği hükümlerle meseleye bakış açısını görmek de mümkündür.
