Published: February 2019

The resources of natural solid fats that used in various branches of the food industry are limited. As a result, they are often substituted by chemically and physically modified fats. Until recently, hydrogenation was the main method of modification of fats. Modification allows for products with a high hardness and sufficient resilience to oxidation due to a large amount of trans-isomers. Since the legislation in the sphere of food industry is changing, producers have to look for new solutions for fat-containing products that would correspond with the new restrictions for trans-isomers of fatty acids. The present paper contains a review of modern methods of modified fats production with a reduced content of trans-isomers of fatty acids. It also features some theoretical and practical aspects of multistage fractionation of tropical oils. The authors describe the characteristic of the products of palm oil fractionation and give some recommendations on how various fractions can be applied in milk-containing products. The research included a comparative analysis of various ways of interesterification applied in world practice of jellied fats production. The experiment included interesterification of mixes of the fractioned solid and liquid vegetable oils that can be used in milk-containing products. A specific ratio of raw ingredients in the initial makes it possible to achieve the required technological properties of the final product, as well as to increase its biological efficiency due to linoleic acid. Plastic fats reduce or completely cut the consumption of hydrogenated fats in milk-containing products while increasing their nutrition value, shelf life, and trans-isomeric indicators.

Energy input affects the final cost of dairy products. The paper features energy cost optimization in dairy industry and, in particular, in the production of cultured milk foods. The present research studies the options for renewable energy sources in dairy industry: solar system is becoming a very promising means of energy saving in the southern regions. The authors proposed a complex energy substitution device, which can reduce the electricity costs by 60–70%, according to preliminary calculations. The results obtained in the theoretical underpinning of design parameters and operation modes were checked by experimental studies. For the experiment, the authors designed and manufactured a water heating system based on flat solar collectors. An instrument complex registered temperature values in eight different control points and transferred the signals to a PC hard disk. The article presents the parameters of the equipment in pasteurization and milk fermentation processes with the use of the complex energy substitution device for water heating. The equipment can be used by large-scale dairy enterprises, since the area of the collectors for the preliminary water heating is 2 m2, which provides 150 litters of water with a temperature of 45–60°C. As the normative parameters of the temperature during the milk fermentation process is 32–35°C, and the water temperature in the device is 45–60°C, it can be concluded that the thermal costs are fully covered.

Milk and dairy products play an important role in human diet due to their high nutritional and biological value, as well as to their easy digestibility. Milk powder makes it possible to improve the seasonal character of dairy foods. As a solvent in the production of reconstituted milk, water can significantly affect the quality of the finished product. In this regard, the problem of water quality and its preparation for the production of reconstituted milk is highly relevant. The method of separate freezing allows one to reduce the number of pre-treatment stages and energy costs. The research objectives were 1) to establish the effect of separate freezing on water quality indicators, 2) to determine the solubility index of milk powder in water prepared by the method in question, 3) to definethe energy costs. The research was carried out on the basis of the Department of Heat, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning Equipment (Kemerovo State University). The study was conducted with the help of a tank crystallizer with a controlling and measuring complex for registration of temperatures at temperatures from minus 2 to minus 10 C. In defining the quality of water and reconstituted milk, the authors used standard methods for determining its organoleptic and physico-chemical parameters. The study made it possible to define the organoleptic and physico-chemical parameters of water before and after separate freezing, the solubility index of dry milk, and the quality of reconstituted milk obtained by the method. The research revealed that it is energetically more advantageous to carry out the procedure at the temperature of minus 2 C. The present paper describes the numerous advantages of the method in that it reduces: 1) the dry residue content in tap water by 8 times, 2) the overall hardness of water by 2.5 times, 3) the content of chlorides and fluorides by 1.7 and 1.9 times, respectively, 4) the solubility index of milk powder from 0.35 to 0.1 cm3. All these factors improve the quality of reconstituted milk.

The present research features the Russian flour-milling industry. Flour manufacturers are a key component of the bread- baking complex of Russia, which ensures the food security of the country in the conditions of import substitution. However, large flour mills have recently experienced a decrease in profitability indicators, and production of low-quality flour by illegal producers has increased. Hence, the quality management system of flour milling enterprises requires new methodological approaches to assess the effectiveness of quality control procedures and innovative ways to improve product quality management that would ensure the competitive advantage. Quality management should be based on representative information obtained by using differential or complex methods, with numerical values established by measuring various indicators of product quality, i.e. objective and subjective. The quality assessment system should be used to determine the quality level at each stage of the innovation process, which will allow for effective management decisions. The considered quality assessment methods were adapted to the sectoral specifics of the milling industry, since the efficiency of grain processing largely depends on the stability of regimes at all its stages. The paper introduces an economic and mathematical model that includes the calculation of three groups of assessment indicators: the quality of preparation of raw materials for grinding, the quality of the technological process, and the technical level of production. The performance indicators of their activities proved to be significantly affected by the quality characteristics of the processed raw materials, the efficiency of process control, and the use of the potential of the technical level of production. The analytical studies conducted by the authors revealed trends in the product quality management at sectoral enterprises and proved the need to use system-oriented innovative solutions at all stages of flour production.

Published: February 2019

In response to the current devaluation of the ruble, the Russian Government takes measures to support exporters. Thus, the most important factor of sustainable development of rural territories is their commitment to export, which explains the relevance of the present research that features the problems and top trends of grain export in the Omsk region. The theoretical part of the study develops the concept and properties of sustainable development of rural territories, its dependence on the efficiency of agricultural producers, and the situation in the Omsk region. The survey part of the paper investigates the grain export in 2015–2017: the share of the Omsk region in Russian grain export; the share of grain export in the total volume of export sales the dynamics of grain export and a review of factors of influence; a structural and dynamic analysis of various exports; assessment of wheat export structure by types and categories; a survey of channels of distribution of export grain (geography); an analysis of the logistic factors that limit export operations. The authors stress the positive influence of grain export on the uniform distribution of annual cash flows among the producers, which reduces the seasonal character of grain production. The trends can be explained by the specifics of grain crops, Russia’s foreign trade policy, and the logistic opportunities of the Omsk region. Sustainable development of the region requires a higher volume of grain export, which directly depends on the wellbeing of agricultural enterprises and farms. In general, the export potential of the Omsk region will contribute to the sustainable development of its rural territories. The research results can be used in various studies connected with grain export planning and sustainable development of rural territories.

Published: February 2019

According to the most progressive views on nutrition, the composition of food products should involve certain vital nutrients, hence the rapid development of functional, or fortified foods. An analysis of the diet of the Russian population showed a 33% lack of native proteins. Proteins serve as regulators of the genetic function of nucleic acids, participate as enzymes in all stages of the biosynthesis of polypeptides, store and transport oxygen, and perform an immunological function. The research objective was to develop a technology for producing jelly marmalade of high biological value by using milk protein. The studies were performed at the All-Russian Research Institute of the confectionery industry (a branch of V. M. Gorbatov Federal Research Center for Food Systems). The authors employed standard methods, e.g. physico-chemical, rheological, and organoleptic. The research featured jelly marmalade because it has a low nutritional value and a large amount of carbohydrates (70%). To fortify the product, the researchers used concentrated milk and whey proteins with a 80% protein content and a high biological value index (53%–170%). Gelatin served as the gelling agent. Its protein content was 87.2%. The experiment made it possible to establish the optimal ratio of sugar and molasses, the amount of gelling agent (8%), the amount of milk and whey protein concentrates (5%), and the influence of proteins on the viscosity of the jelly mass and its formation. The authors developed a method that makes it possible to introduce protein concentrates into the process of jelly boiling while preventing protein denaturation. The new technology produces jelly marmalade with milk protein content

11.2 g per 100 g, which means that the energy value of the product is 14.2%. According to regulatory documentation, such a product

is deemed as a “source of protein”.

Published: February 2019

The existing methods of disinfection of containers for fermented milk products proved to be ineffective. The present research featured an antimicrobial preparation based on silver, copper, and zinc nanoparticles as a disinfectant solution. The authors studied the properties of the antimicrobial in order to prove its effectiveness in processing containers to increase the shelf-life of fermented milk products. The size of the silver nanoparticles ranged from 1 to 10 nm. The nanoscale particles of copper were obtained by the method of electric explosion. It was established that the mass fraction of the active substance (active metals) in the antimicrobial was 50.1%; the mass fraction of water was 11.2%; the mass fraction of hydrogen peroxide was 1.0%. To assess the ability of the antimicrobial to increase shelf-life of fermented milk products, the authors analyzed the microbiological properties of cottage cheese. The 50-gram samples were packed in pre-treated polyethylene containers that had been cleaned with the antimicrobial. After that the samples were left for storage at minus 4 ± 1°C. The quality and the microbiological state of the cottage cheese was evaluated on days 3, 5, 7, 9, 11, and 13, which was justified by the experimental conditions and regulatory documentation. Eventually, it was established that the product contained no pathogenic bacteria, such as L. monocytogenes, Salmonella, E. coli, staphylococci, yeast, molds or any viable microbial cells. It was proved that the test sample retained its consumer properties for 13 days, while the control sample was found unusable by day 7. Thus, by using the antimicrobial, it was possible to increase the shelf life of the dairy product by more than 5 days.

Published: February 2019

Milk coagulation is one of the most important technological operations in the production of many dairy products, such as cheeses or yogurt. Recently, there has been a surge of interest for plant-based milk substitutes. Besides, under certain conditions, milk-like colloid systems are able to form curds. This quality makes it possible to obtain cheese-like and yoghurt-like products. This makes the issue of coagulation mechanisms in milk-like systems even more relevant. The authors conducted a review of the main physicochemical properties of milk and milk-like systems and proposed a model that describes the colloidal stability of cow milk proteins and plant proteins of milk-like systems. In both cases, it was the electric charge that provided colloidal stability of the systems. The charge was caused by dissociation of some functional groups of protein complexes. The authors believe that phosphorus-containing organic compounds help to maintain the colloidal stability of milk and plant-based milk-like systems. This explains the important role of calcium and magnesium in the coagulation of milk and plant-based milk-like systems. The paper describes the mechanism of rennet, acid, and acid-rennet milk coagulation. It contains an explanation for the coagulation of plant-based milk analogues under the action of acid and solutions of calcium and magnesium salts. The authors propose a hypothesis that explains the temperature dependence of the coagulation in milk and milk-like systems.

The development of new functional foods that contribute to the preservation and improvement of human health is one of the priorities in the food industry. In this regard, the production and sales of sugar confectionery products with low energy value and various enriching additives are gradually increasing, including those meant for diabetic therapeutic and dietary preventive nutrition. At the same time, the share of these products remains insignificant. The research prospective was to develop a technology for the production of marshmallow, which reduces the risk of obesity and type II diabetes. The study featured three samples of marshmallow: with granulated sugar, fructose, and inulin. The research determined the functional properties of the finished product. Three female volunteers (21, 32, and 45 years old) participated in the experiment. It was established that the replacement of granulated sugar with a natural sweetener, namely fructose and a mixture of fructose and inulin, led to a decrease in the body’s hyperglycemic response half an hour after consuming the analyzed sample, and resulted in a smooth sugar curve. Thus, natural additives and biologically active substances make sugar confectionery products functional, which is a priority for the development of the confectionery industry.

Published: February 2019

One of the current priorities of food supply for military personnel in the Far North and the Russian Arctic is to preserve its nutrition quality while maintaining the mass of food ration. To implement this task, the author proposes to produce soft wheat pasta with animal protein and high nutrient content (retinol, i.e. vitamin A, minerals, mineral nutrients, omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids). Beef liver was added to the pasta as an enriching additive in the amount of 30% of the total dough. The composition of the ingredients, their quantity, and the effect on the amount of nutrients in the modified food product were calculated according to a specially designed program. Modernized equipment made it possible to use ultrasound and infrared radiation to intensify the technology of pasta production. A device for ultrasonic magnetostriction processing of flour reduced the contamination of wheat flour with pathogenic microorganisms and mold. An ultrasound press made it possible to use low gluten wheat flour. Modernization of the drying equipment by including sources of ultrasound and infrared radiation accelerated the process of drying. As a result, the pasta with a high content of animal protein did not lose in quality. The experimental studies revealed empirical dependency between the quality of the pasta and the ultrasound and infrared radiation. Intensification of the production of pasta with animal protein and a high nutrient content was 22–26%, while the strength of the finished product increased by 20–25%.

Published: February 2019

This study evaluated the effects of irrigation water management techniques on the growth and yield parameters of madumbe (Colocasia esculenta) irrigated with anaerobic filter (AF) effluent. The irrigation water management treatments considered were alternate wetting and drying (AWD), continuous flooding irrigation (CFI) and wetting without flooding (WWF). It was hypothesized that irrigation techniques with anaerobic baffled reactor (ABR) effluent have a significant effect on the growth and yield of madumbe. The effects of the treatments were significant (P < 0.05) on the number of irrigation events, amount of irrigated water and daily water balance. The treatments had no effect on the growth parameters (plant height, leaf number and leaf area index (LAI) (P > 0.05)). The treatments effects were, however, highly significant (P < 0.001) on the yield components (biomass, corm mass, corm number, corm size, harvest index), corm yield and water productivity (WP). AWD treatments had the highest WP. The highest average corm yields of 7.5 and 9.84 t/ha for WWF treatments for 2017 and 2018 seasons were obtained. It is concluded from this study that both AWD and CFI resulted in yield reduction compared with WWF, and as such, is not recommended to improve the productivity of madumbe.

Published: February 2019

El propósito de esta investigación es analizar el paisaje y el patrimonio arqueoastronómico de Ñaña, en Lurigancho-Chosica, que sobrevive en los intersticios de la periferia urbana contemporánea de Lima Metropolitana. A pesar del abandono estatal y el crecimiento urbano no regulado de su entorno, estos mantienen un enorme potencial, aún poco aprovechado. La zona arqueológica Unión-Ñaña estuvo habitada desde tiempos prehispánicos por especialistas en la observación de fenómenos celestes llamados yañac, ligados al culto al nevado Pariacaca, el apu más importante de los Andes centrales del Perú, según el mítico Manuscrito de Huarochirí del siglo XVI. Por lo tanto, el estudio de la relación entre paisaje y alineamientos astronómicos (un aspecto clave de la cosmovisión andina) formó parte fundamental de la presente investigación, que también tiene el objetivo de profundizar en el entendimiento de la función primigenia y el potencial a futuro de estos parajes milenarios vinculados al Qhapaq Ñan del Valle del Rímac. El empleo de un enfoque multidisciplinario de investigación, que ahonde en estos hallazgos y sirva como base para el futuro desarrollo ambiental y cultural de la zona de estudio, surge como variable a evaluarse. Los resultados mostrados son producto de un profuso trabajo de campo y mapeo del contexto utilizando software ARC GIS, Stellarium y SunCalc.

Published: February 2019

This study was performed to identify the minimum observational time and post-procedural imaging necessary before safely discharging a patient after CT-guided lung biopsy. Retrospective chart review was conducted on 167 CT-guided lung biopsies performed in 2015 at our institution to determine how often pneumothoraces occurred, and when they were first noted on post-procedure chest imaging. Patient age, gender, lesion laterality and size, core needle size, and background emphysema on imaging, as well as clinical history of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease were recorded. If pneumothorax occurred, its size, need for chest tube, and ultimate medical outcomes were logged. Chi squared statistical analysis was utilized. Post-biopsy R7% incldi al the time of the biopsy and 13% within the first hour. No new pneumothorax was deleted beyond the first hour Overall pneumothorax intervention rate was The leading risk factor for pneumothorax wat concomitant radiographic evidence of emphysema, with 48% incidence versus 30% of patients without underlying emphysema. These patients were also significantly more likely to have a pneumothorax requiring intervention (p<0.05). We concluded that post-biopsy imaging can safely be limited to immediate post-procedure CT and one hour chest radiograph in the absence of pneumothorax. In patients with pneumothorax, further imaging, intervention, and/or discharge may be considered based on imaging results and patient's condition.

Objective: The present study delineates the generation of mutant peptide library from a known anticancer peptide, p21 and in silico evaluation for their affinity towards cyclin. A substrate binding groove.

Methods: Mutant peptide library was created based on their AntiCP score and was docked with cyclin A using ClusPro2.0 web server. The docked structures were further simulated into an aqueous environment using Gromacs 4.5.6. Visualization was performed using PyMol software and interaction analysis was done using Discovery Studio Visualizer 4.1 Client and LigPlot plus tool.

Results: A total of 57 mutant peptides were generated; out of which only 3 namely, K3C (Lys3Cys), K3F (Lys3Phe), and K3W (Lys3Trp) had a greater affinity for cyclin A than WILD p21 peptide (HSKRRLIFS). Molecular dynamic simulation studies showed that the peptides remained docked into the substrate binding groove throughout the run. Among all the peptides, K3C showed a significantly higher negative binding energy with cyclin A as compared to WILD.

Conclusion: The overall results suggested that K3C mutant peptide had ~30 % higher affinity towards cyclin A and thus, could further be explored for its anticancer potential. The study also provides an insight into the crucial interactions governing the recognition of substrate binding groove of cyclin A for the development of novel peptide-based anticancer therapeutics.

Objective: The aim of this study was to develop a simple, reliable voltammetric method and its validation for determination of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug diclofenac (DFC).

Methods: The proposed method was based on electro-oxidation of DFC at poly (erichrome black T) modified glassy carbon electrode (PEBT/GCE) in 0.2 M phosphate buffer solution of pH 7.0. Cyclic voltammetry and differential pulse voltammetric techniques were employed to study electro-oxidation behavior. Under the optimal conditions, variations of EBT concentration, effect of pH, scan rate on the oxidation of DFC was studied.

Results: A well-defined oxidation peak at about +0.59 V vs. standard calomel electrode was observed for voltammetric detection of DFC. pH effect shows the participation of an equal number of protons and electrons in the mechanism. The relation between a logarithm of peak current with the logarithm of scan rate indicated adsorption controlled behavior of electrode process. Concentration variations show a good linear response in the range 0.05 µM to 40 µM with the detection limit of 5.25 × 10-8 M.

Conclusion: The prepared sensor exhibited good selectivity, sensitivity, and stability for the detection of DFC in the pharmaceutical dosage form and real samples. The developed method could possibly be adopted for pharmacokinetic studies and also in clinical and quality control laboratories where time and economy were important.
PEDAGOGICAL CONCEPTUALISATION OF CONTENT KNOWLEDGE IN TEACHING ART MUSIC RELATED ESP
Authors: Kovačević Darko
Published: February 2019

Pedagogical conceptualisation of content knowledge is a significant component of the present time teaching of ESP at higher institutions, because usually the lessons in general English are not sufficient for a successful accomplishment of the teaching process assignments and learning process outcomes. In the case of art music related ESP, it is necessary, at the teacher’s side, to have a certain amount of content knowledge in the field of art music in order to be able to find and prepare the appropriate lesson materials and organise the entire teaching process, so that the knowledge is conceptualised and properly used for English language teaching and learning. Such knowledge and its pedagogical conceptualisation will be the central topics of the paper, preceded by some introductory facts on art music and texts on art music, pedagogical content knowledge and the art music related ESP.
“AWAKENING TO INTERCOMPREHENSION AT SEA” – A NEW TRAINING TOOL FOR THE DEVELOPMENT OF MULTILINGUAL COMPREHENSION SKILLS FOR MARITIME STUDENTS
Authors: Cizer Laura , BOERU Mariana
Published: February 2019

This paper attempts to showcase the potential of an in-house textbook for practicing Intercomprehension (IC) in a purely maritime context. It encompasses most of the research work conducted by the authors within EU funded grants as well as beyond them. First, reference will be made to the theoretical framework scaffolding this endeavor, namely the definition of such concepts as IC, textbooks, and IC didactics, then the newly devised textbook will be assessed according to several criteria: description of the teaching material, targeted audience, book structure, duration and pace of the teaching/learning process, objectives, types of tasks and internal dynamics. Thus, learners are led to demonstrate comprehension of foreign languages which is facilitated by the presence of different communication channels (written texts, sounds, images, etc). Consequently, in the authors’ vision, this exposure to the concept of IC will certainly facilitate the overcoming of communication and socializing problems that nowadays occur frequently on-board ships manned by multilingual and multicultural crews.
LANGUAGES FOR SPECIFIC PURPOSES AND DYNAMICS OF NATIONAL IDENTITY

Creating and using language for special purposes reflects a rather high level of human needs in the hierarchy proposed by an American psychologist A. Maslow through creative activities and self-actualisation.  The understanding of one’s own belonging and identity as a manner of self-actualisation may happen through specific language usage. The article focuses on the review of the emerging European identity patterns found in the professional lexis of three sample European languages from the perspective of such disciplines as philosophy and linguistic history. In the first part of the article authors reflect on the key traceable characteristic features of European identity forms: a closed form of identity, an open form of identity and a destructive denial of identity as a transition device from one form into another. On the basis of the linguistic survey of historical experiences as traced in British, Lithuanian and Russian legal language vocabulary formation, it is concluded that changes in legal languages are reflective of social experiences and may be viewed as identity forming mechanisms.
REFORM IN ASSESSMENT: TEACHERS’ BELIEFS AND PRACTICES
Authors: Othman Juliana
Published: February 2019

Research has demonstrated that teachers’ beliefs on teaching and learning plays a part on the way they teach and assess learning. A new assessment system for schools was implemented in 2011 to set the stage for change of the Malaysian education system from centralised examination to a combination of centralised examination and school-based assessment. There is a growing concern with implementation issues pertaining to how teachers will transform their assessment practices in their school contexts. Thus, this study sought to gain insights into teachers’ beliefs about school based assessment, and examine the relationship between their beliefs and classroom practice. A survey measuring teachers’ beliefs and practices of school based assessment was administered to 174 teachers who are currently educating in Malaysian government funded schools. Findings from this study demonstrated that teachers appear to have good knowledge of assessment principles about School Based Assessment (SBA). They conducted their assessment using appropriate procedures by considering the context of teaching and assessment in which they operate. The result of Pearson correlation analysis revealed a positive relationship between teachers’ beliefs about SBA and their classroom practices.
