Quality evaluation of differently processed wheat flours
Authors: Dutta Anuradha , RTilara Soni , Jantwal Chetna , Khan Raushan
Published: April 2018

Wheat as a grain is grown on more land area than any other commercial food. Its world trade in is greater than all other crops combined. Globally, wheat is the leading source of vegetable protein in human food, having higher protein content than other major cereals. Wheat is processed by various techniques to achieve different flours e.g. resultant flour, chakki flour and maida (refined flour) possessing different physicochemical, nutritional and sensory attributes. The proximate nutritional content were analyzed and the resultant flour has maximum calorie content whereas protein, fiber, fat and ash content were found to be higher in chakki flour. Maida (refined flour) exhibited maximum wet gluten content but dry gluten content was found to be highest in resultant flour. Recipe formulated by incorporating differently processed wheat flours was Chapattis which was evaluated for its sensory characteristics on a 5-point rating scale by a semi trained panel of 30 judges. Chapattis made from resultant flour were better than those from chakki flour and maida in overall acceptability.

Tofu is a soybean curd precipitated from hot soymilk with a coagulant, followed by molding and pressing to remove whey. An initial survey reveals that soy processors in Punjab do not prefer varieties of soybean from Punjab for processing into milk and tofu. Three varieties viz. SL 958, SL 744 and SL 525 were procured from department of Plant breeding, PAU, Ludhiana and Krishi Vigyan Kendra, Patiala. Control sample (locally available soybean, undescriptive variety) was procured from local soy processors for tofu making. Data is average of three replications. The yield of tofu was highest (1.55kg/kg) from SL 958 followed by control, SL 525 and SL 744 respectively. Organoleptically, overall acceptability score was 7.9, 6.9, 7.2 and 7.5 for tofu from varieties SL 958, SL 744, SL 525 and control, respectively. The values from hunter colorimeter, measuring lightness/darkness showed that varietal differences affected the colour of tofu.

The research was conducted to develop soyflour and evaluate the quality characteristics of soyflour enriched paratha. In this study, wheat flour was replaced with soyflour at different levels i.e. 10, 15, 20, and 25%. Developed products were evaluated for their sensory attributes and chemical composition. Results showed that paratha incorporated with 20% soyflour was the most acceptable. Nutrient analysis showed soyflour contained 44.07g protein, 198 mg calcium and 131.55 mg isoflavone, whereas most acceptable paratha contained 18.39 g protein, 43.33 mg calcium and 19.94 mg isoflavone.Thus, the results indicated that by incorporating soyflour, it is possible to enhance the sensory and nutritional quality as well as isoflavone content of wheat paratha.
Probiotics from food and eubiosis in Gut: a commensalism
Authors: . Sucheta, , Gehlot Rakesh , Arora Simran
Published: April 2018

Micro-organisms are not only pathogenic but also commensal to humans and are associated with many tissues. They show commensalism by excluding or inhibiting pathogens in intestine lumen or they can improve gut barrier by inducing mucin secretion, defensin production and enhancing tight junctions stability. They can also improve immune system modulation. This may be due to activation of certain signaling pathways by probiotic bacteria which enhance adaptive immunity. Advances on the knowledge of inter-relationships between strain specificity, molecular basis of mechanism of action, host cell factors including its genetic makeup can help to determine potential benefits derived from intake of probiotic food supplements.

In the present study, Rhododendron flowers were used for the preparation of biscuits to enhance the utility of this valuable flower. Dried Rhododendron petals powder was incorporated at different levels (0%, 5%, 10% and 15%) in biscuits and their sensory and physico- chemical properties were evaluated. The results revealed that, the length and thickness of biscuits decreased by increasing the proportion of Rhododendron powder in biscuits. Addition of Rhododendron powder to wheat flour significantly increased the content of moisture, ash (0.75 to 1.20 %), protein (3.06 to 4.96 %), fibre (0.07 to 0.67 %) and iron (3.90 to 4.19 mg/100g). The sensory results showed a significant decrease (7.70 to 7.10) in the overall acceptability by the addition of Rhododendron power to wheat flour but the product remained acceptable in terms of sensory acceptability up to the level 10 per cent. From the study it can be concluded that a maximum of 15% Rhododendron powder can be incorporated to prepare acceptable quality of biscuits.

Complications of the Fingers and Hand After Arthroscopic Rotator Cuff Repair
Authors: Harada Mikio , Mura Nariyuki , Takahara Masatoshi , Takagi Michiaki
Published: April 2018

Background:

Complications of the fingers and hand that occur after Arthroscopic Rotator Cuff Repair (ARCR) have not been examined in detail.

Objective:

The aim of our study was to evaluate the diagnosis and treatment of complications of the fingers and hand that occur after ARCR and to examine treatment outcomes.

Methods:

The case records of 40 patients (41 shoulders) who underwent ARCR using suture anchors were retrospectively reviewed to investigate complications of the fingers and hand after ARCR.

Results:

Twelve patients (29%) experienced numbness, pain, edema, and movement limitations of the fingers and hand. These symptoms occurred on average 1.1 months (range, 0.1-2.5 months) after ARCR. The diagnoses were cubital tunnel syndrome in 2 hands, carpal tunnel syndrome in 3 hands, and flexor tenosynovitis (TS) in 10 hands. None of the 10 hands with TS exhibited triggering of the fingers. The mean interval between treatment initiation and symptom resolution was 2.2 months for the 5 hands treated by corticosteroid injection or surgery and 5.9 months for the 7 hands treated by alternating warm and cold baths alone. None of the hands exhibited Complex Regional Pain Syndrome (CRPS).

Conclusion:

Complications of the fingers and hand after ARCR were observed in 29%. TS was the most frequent complication. When symptoms in the fingers and hand occur after ARCR, rather than immediately suspecting CRPS, TS should be primarily suspected, including when TS symptoms such as triggering are not present, and these patients should be treated proactively using corticosteroid injections or surgery.
Features of the Lipid Profile in Patients with Arterial Hypertension and Cardiovascular Diseases According to Smoking Status
Authors: Gaisenok Oleg V. , Martsevich Sergey Yu. , Leonova Marina V.
Published: April 2018

Introduction:

Smoking is a risk factor for cardiovascular diseases. The direct influence of smoking status on the lipid profile was highlighted in patients with arterial hypertension and associated cardiovascular disease.

Objective:

We aimed to evaluate lipid profile among patients related to smoking status in a registry-based cohort study.

Methods:

The data of registry of National Research Сenter of Preventive Medicine were conducted. Patients filled in the special questionnaire in order to identify their smoking status, statins therapy.

Results:

274 patients were included; main nosologic disease was arterial hypertension (230 patients), 14.8% were smokers, 62.9% non-smokers, and 22.2% past-smokers. The rank analysis of variations by Kruskal-Wallis (H) test for multiple comparisons between groups revealed significant differences in lipid levels for patients according to smoking status: total cholesterol H (2, n=234) =9.119,p=0.0105; LDL-cholesterol H (2, n=225) =6.2615,p=0.0437; triglycerides H (2, n=216) =9.8485,p=0.0073; these indicators of lipid profile among non-smoking patients were lower than among smokers, these indices among past-smokers were lower than among smokers. The absence of statistically significant differences between groups was confirmed in statin therapy (χ2=3.169, df=4,p=0.529). Logistic regression analysis was conducted to identify factors that influence achievement target lipid levels. Only 2 statistically significant signs were identified in this model: smoking (OR 0.1; 95%CI [0.13;4.87];p=0.03) and statin therapy (OR 8.2;95%CI [-3.6; -,078];p=0.002).

Conclusion:

Significantly higher lipid levels have been observed in smokers compared to non-smokers in patients with arterial hypertension and associated cardiovascular disease. Smoking is a great factor disincentive to achieve target lipid levels.

Role of Information andCommunicationTechnology in Education
Authors: Singh Subhash
Published: April 2018

This paper is a mere attempt to present a glimpse of meaning of ICT, its importance and its mandatory need for education, which is indispensable. ICT stands for INFORMATION and COMMUNICATION TECHNOLOGY . These technologies include: computers, the Internet, Broadcasting technologies (radio and television), Telephony. One of the many challenges facing developing countries today is that of preparing their societies and governments for globalization and the information and communication revolution. Policy-makers, educationists, non-governmental organizations, academics and ordinary citizens are increasingly concerned with the need to make their societies competitive in the emergent information economy. Globalization and innovations in technology have led to an increased use of ICTs in all sectors - and education is no exception. Uses of ICTs in education are widespread and are continually growing worldwide. It is generally believed that ICTs can empower teachers and learners, making significant contributions to learning and achievement. Of the teachers interviewed on the effectiveness of ICT in education majority of them felt that introduction and use of ICT adequately will be extremely effective in children learning and achievement. However, current research on the impacts of ICTs on student achievement yields few conclusive statements, pros or con, about the use of ICTs in education. Studies have shown that even in the most advanced schools in industrialized countries, ICTs are generally not considered central to the teaching and learning process. However, there appears to be a mismatch between methods used to measure effects and the type of learning promoted. Standardized testing, for example, tends to measure the results of traditional teaching practices, rather than new knowledge and skills related to the use of ICTs. It is clear that more research needs to be conducted to understand the complex links between ICTs, learning, and achievement. Again, on the question of impact of audio visuals, research shows that surprisingly little documentation is available on the use and impact of video in education, barring one or two video projects like UNICEF‟s animation series, Meena‟, which has become a key weapon in the battle against gender and social inequity in South Asia. Many teachers are reluctant to use ICTs, especially computers and the internet. Some of the reasons for this reluctance include poor software design, skepticism about the effectiveness of computers in improving learning outcomes, lack of administrative support, increased time and effort needed to learn the technology and how to use it for teaching, and the fear of losing their authority in the classroom as it becomes more learner-centered. In terms of using internet and other ICT as a resource for lesson preparation, most of the teachers interviewed, admitted to never or rarely using it, while very few used the internet to gather information sporadically or regularly.

Published: April 2018

Education is an ability possessed and exercised by humans to use their knowledge and past experiences to deal with future events more effectively and efficiently. Generally, fostering learner creativity is a vital role for any teacher, as doing so can help learners to develop predictive, analytical, critical, and problem solving skills, to develop confidence and self-esteem. Fostering creativity is even more important for a teacher of a second or foreign language as it can help to achieve the affective and cognitive engagement vital for language acquisition as well as helping learners to understand language used for natural communication and to use language for effective communication themselves. English is a leader language of all languages spoken by the people in the world. Instead of pressuring the Children for the good result in the school one should create a burden free environment for the children so they can explore their creativity. As we know every child is unique and has different skills from others. For the expression of their creative talent they have a painter called teacher in the school. The international development of a man's character is only possible by the education.
The present research “A study of the English creativity of the High school students of Ropar District with reference to sex and type of school” is an attempt to look into the relationship of creativity and learning English
VALUE INCULCATION AMONG FUTURE TEACHERS
Authors: Kumar Arpita
Published: April 2018

The crisis of values is pervasive resulting in adverse development in all walks of life. Misra, Srivastava and Gupta (1995) have found that present emphasis on personal growth as opposed to societal development, non-commital attitude, inconsistency in behaviour across situations, increase in violence, corruption, indiscipline and social tension have become parts of the contemporary reality experienced in everyday life of people. There is a progressive erosion of values resulting in public life. Educational institutions are no exception. A proper value system must be inculcated by educational institutions through educational process based on rationality, scientific and moral approach to life. It would be possible to serve the need of the hour through proper value orientation among teacher education programmes.
Digital Person-Centered Self-Management Support for People With Type 2 Diabetes: Qualitative Study Exploring Design Challenges (Preprint)

Published: April 2018

BACKGROUND

Self-management is a substantial part of treatment for patients with type 2 diabetes (T2D). Modern digital technology, being small, available, and ubiquitous, might work well in supporting self-management. This study follows the process of developing a pilot implementation of an electronic health (eHealth) service for T2D self-management support in primary health care. The use of digital health, or eHealth, solutions for supporting self-management for patients with T2D is increasing. There are good examples of successful implementations that can serve as guides in the development of new solutions. However, when adding person-centered principles as a requirement, the examples are scarce.

OBJECTIVE

The objective of this study was to explore challenges that could impact the design of a person-centered eHealth service for T2D self-management support. The study included data collection from multiple sources, that is, interviews, observations, focus groups, and a Mentimeter (interactive presentation with polling) survey among stakeholders, representing various perspectives of T2D.

METHODS

A user-centered design approach was used to exploratively collect data from different sources. Data were collected from a workshop, interviews, and observations. The different data sources enabled a triangulation of data.

RESULTS

Results show that user needs related to an eHealth service for person-centered T2D self-management support are multifaceted and situated in a complex context. The two main user groups, patients and diabetes specialist nurses, express needs that both diverge and converge, which indicates that critical design decisions have to be made. There is also a discrepancy between the needs expressed by the potential users and the current work practice, suggesting more attention toward changing the organization of work to fully support a new eHealth service.

CONCLUSIONS

A total of three overarching challenges—flexible access, reducing administrative tasks, and patient empowerment—each having a significant impact on design, are discussed. These challenges need to be considered and resolved through careful design decisions. Special attention has to be given to the patient user group that could greatly impact current work practice and power structures at the primary care unit. A need for further studies investigating patient needs in everyday life is identified to better support the implementation of technology that does not give specific attention to organizational perspectives but instead approach design with the patient perspective in focus.
Socio-scientific issues as contexts for relevant education and a case on tattooing in chemistry teaching
Authors: Eilks Ingo , Marks Ralf , Stuckey Marc
Published: April 2018

Context-based science education suggests that meaningful science teaching should be based on the lifeworld, society, or potential professional future of the pupils. But: Are all corresponding contexts for science education similarly good? This paper presents a curriculum model for using socio-scientific issues as contexts for science education in general and chemistry education in particular. It discusses the implications of this approach and presents an example on chemistry teaching about the issue of tattooing.
