Published: July 2020

Food can be used as markers for the identity of an individual or society regardless of the geographical, social and political differences separating the populations on one nation. It is a contested medium that establishes national boundaries and identities. The study aims to examine national food heritage awareness in the Klang Valley area based on age. The study involved 676 respondents using a self-completed questionnaire survey. Purposive sampling is being used in selecting the sample based on age, which required respondents to be 30 years old or older and have knowledge of heritage food. Statistic analysis such as frequency and cross-tabulation on age category (30-35 and >36 years old). Results revealed that there is only one common definition agreed by both age category (p>0.05) which is the traditional food are considered as food heritage. Both age using electronic media to gather information regarding on gazette National Food Heritage (p>0.05). However, on the knowledge on the authority responsible on gazette National Food Heritage respondent with adult age ( > 36 years old ) are more knowledgeable than younger adult (30-35 years old) (p<0.05). In awareness of food heritage, most of the respondent recognised traditional food from rice-based categories (n=411) than other categories. There are differences on the association National Food Heritage related to preservation, image, food identity and sustainable (p<0.05) in adult (>36 years old) than young adult (30-35 years old). Respondent chooses the main criteria 'traditional value' which showed significant differences (p<0.05) between the age. There is a different understanding between young adult and adult on food heritage which authority need to highlight and create awareness in the national food heritage, especially in developing better promotion based on age groups.

Authors: Gómez-Valenzuela Víctor , Alpízar Francisco 
Published: July 2020

This paper shows the results of a contingent valuation exercise carried out to assess the environmental impacts caused by the disposal of 56,000 tons of rock ash in the Dominican Republic in 2003 and 2004. In March 2007, the Dominican government and AES Corporation reached a legal settlement for US$6 million in penalties to avoid a lengthy legal process. The willingness to pay for a watching and monitoring program to prevent and mitigate environmental impacts caused by rock ash was estimated at US$194 million in 2007, reflecting the welfare losses experienced by the Dominican society at that moment.

Examining the life-cycle artistic productivity of latin american photographers: álvarez bravo, larraín, and salgado
Authors: Sánchez-Fung José R. 
Published: July 2020

The paper examines the life-cycle artistic productivity of three leading Latin American photographers of the twentieth century: Manuel Álvarez Bravo (Mexico), Sergio Larraín (Chile), and Sebastião Salgado (Brazil). The analysis constructs narratives using art books and other sources of expert commentary, following the approach in earlier contributions to the economics literature on the subject [David W. Galenson, 2007, Old masters and young geniuses: The two life cycles of artistic creativity, Princeton University Press]. The research identifies Manuel Álvarez Bravo as a ‘conceptual innovator’, a feature that caught the French surrealists’ attention early in his career. In contrast, Sergio Larraín and Sebastião Salgado accomplish their contributions to photography like ‘experimental innovators’. The investigation assembles and evaluates metrics from museum holdings and selected retrospectives to gauge the robustness of the conclusions emerging from the benchmark narratives. The results can be useful from the academic and public policy viewpoints: a better understanding of life-cycle artistic productivity can inform deliberations on the allocation of public funding for creative industries.

Published: July 2020

Lactic acid bacteria produces a variety of antibacterial compounds such as organic acids, diacetyl, hydrogen peroxide and bacteriocins or bactericidal proteins as byproducts of fermentation. Bacteriocins are small proteins with bactericidal or bacteriostatic activity against genetically closely related species. Some bacteriocins are peptides consisting of only 13 to 37 amino acids. Some small bacteriocins contain unusual amino acids originating from modifications of conventional amino acids after translation. Bacteriocins are natural peptides secreted by several bacteria that exert bactericidal activity against other bacterial species. Research in this topic is promoted not only by the need to develop alternatives to antibiotics and drugs that have shown non-desirable effects, but also to the capacity of some bacteriocins to inhibit saprophytic and food-borne pathogens in food stuffs. The purification of bacteriocins produced is helpful for the knowledge of the mechanism of action, structure, and other characteristics, which helps to isolate the bacteriocin biosynthetic genes. In this study, purified bacteriocins from Leuconostoc mesenteroides were described. The frequently applied techniques involve ammonium sulfate salt precipitation. The results obtained through the purification of Leuconostoc mesentroides bacteriocins carried out its antimicrobial activity, thermostable and the effected of pH. the incubation of temperature on bacteriocin activity in terms of inhibition zones. The data recorded that the bacteriocin was active in a wide range of pH, the maximum activity was observed at pH 6.0 to 7.0, but at high pH of 8.0 the activity of the bacteriocin gradually decreased. Bacteriocin could retain its antimicrobial activity partially when there was a shift to acidic or basic range. It has been found to be thermo stable in nature as it can withstand high temperatures up to 121°C, although a partial loss in the activity was observed with a continuous increase in temperature. Bacteriocins carried out for its antimicrobial activity, thermostable and the effect of pH.

Published: July 2020

Pharmaceutical residues, which are considered as emerging contaminants, have been frequently detected in various water including treated water, surface water, and underground water. Furthermore, it may pose a serious risk to the living organisms by enhancing bacterial drug resistance. However, the removal of CIP from aqueous solution is difficult by present water treatment methods. The previous study indicated that the removal of CIP by conventional wastewater treatment technologies is generally incomplete. The aim of this study was to evaluate the efficiency of surfactant (cetyltri-methyl- ammonium bromide)-modified Sepiolite (SMS) for Ciprofloxacin antibiotics (CIP) adsorption in a batch mode technique. The effects of different system variables, adsorbent dosage, initial CIP concentration, temperature contact time were investigated and optimal experimental conditions were ascertained. The results showed that as the amount of the adsorbent is increased, the percentage of CIP removal increase accordingly. Optimum temperature value for CIP adsorption was 50 . Maximum CIP was sequestered within 60 min from the start of every experiment. The results also showed that the best test conditions were obtained at i) initial concentration of CIP 10 mg/L and adsorbent dosage 2 g/L as working solution have been selected as the optimum conditions by the batch process; ii) the removal percentage and the maximum adsorption capacity were found to be 99.1% and 63.84 mg/g iii) Four well-known kinetic models, the pseudo-first- and pseudo-second-order, Elovich and Intra-particle diffusion were used to correlate the adsorption kinetic data, with the pseudo-second-order model giving better results; iv) Negative value of ∆Go and positive value of ∆Hº indicates the feasibility of the process and indicates the spontaneous and endothermic nature of the adsorption; v) SMS adsorbent can be an attractive option for CIP antibiotic removal from diluted industrial effluents since test reaction made on simulated antibiotic wastewater showed better removal percentage of CIP.

Medication related problems (MRPs) are any preventable events that lead to inappropriate medication use or patient harm. Clinical pharmacist plays a key role in various clinical activities of hospital and contributes to improve the quality of medication use and patient safety with an aim to provide better patient outcome. Hence our aim in this study is to identify, classify and develop management strategy of various MRPs in a tertiary care teaching hospital and report them to concerned doctors to modify the drug therapy accordingly. Out of total collected cases; prescribing errors (21%) and adverse drug reaction (ADR) (35%) were most common, followed by drug duplication (11%), improper drug selection (8%), untreated indication (7%), double dosing (6%), wrong dose (5%) were frequently repeated drug related issues. Other MRPs were inappropriate dose, omission error, drug without indication and drug insufficiency with very minimal appearance which also satisfy the PCNE categorization of drug related problems. We found that Anticonvulsants and Antibiotics were frequently identified prescription medicine to develop MRPs.. Cerebrovascular accidents and Epilepsy were mostly involved in disease where MRPs were seen frequently. Standard management guidelines were also described to the doctors for individual MRP cases. Certain MRPs were frequently appearing and clinical pharmacists should be alert enough to address them with proper management strategy. Our study highlights the significant role of clinical pharmacist’s intervention in identification of MRPs, which generally remain unidentified unless harm occurs. This study also shows a new avenue of drug therapy optimization by providing proper medication information to overcome identified MRP issues to enhance patient safety and care. Our role was highly accepted and appreciated by various doctors.
