Safety Assessment on the Safety of Cannabidiol (CBD) Isolate as a Novel Food for Use in Food Supplements (RP793)
Authors:   Food Standards Agency,   Food Standards Scotland
Published: February 2025

An application was submitted to the Food Standards Agency (FSA) and Food Standards Scotland (FSS) in March 2021 from CBD Industries LLC. (“the applicant”) for the authorisation of cannabidiol (CBD) isolate as a novel food. The novel food is an isolated >97% pure form of CBD which is intended to be used as a food supplement for adults (excluding pregnant and lactating women, and other specifically identified vulnerable groups including those on medication and the immunosuppressed). To support the FSA and FSS in their evaluation of the application, the Advisory Committee on Novel Foods and Processes (ACNFP) were asked to review the safety dossier and supplementary information provided by the applicant. The Committee did not consider any potential health benefits or claims arising from consuming the food, as the focus of the novel food assessment is to ensure the food is safe, and does not put consumers at a nutritional disadvantage. The novel food was assessed based on the data provided. This review indicated it was appropriate for the provisional Acceptable Daily Intake (ADI) for 98% purity or greater CBD to form part of the evidence for this assessment. The FSA and FSS concluded based on the advice of the ACNFP that the applicant had provided sufficient information to assure the novel food, a CBD isolate as outlined in application RP793, was safe when used at 10 mg a day in food supplements. It was noted a higher use level of 24 mg/day was sought but when considered in the context of the wider data for 98% purity or greater CBD safety for the higher level could not be assured. The anticipated intake levels and the proposed use of this pure form of CBD in food supplements was not considered to be nutritionally disadvantageous. The views of the ACNFP have been taken into account in the regulatory assessment which represents the opinion of the FSA and FSS.

Authors: Rodríguez Muñoz Gregoria , Velázquez Martínez María de los Ángeles , Godínez Montoya Lucila 
Published: February 2025

En este artículo, se estudia el emprendimiento de mujeres en el espacio público en el municipio de Texcoco desde el enfoque de la economía feminista, por lo que se plantea identificar el contexto socioeconómico y familiar que motiva a las mujeres a emprender un negocio y analizar la importancia que esto implica. La información se obtuvo por medio de entrevistas semiestructuradas. Se concluye que el emprendimiento femenino surge de una situación de vulnerabilidad económica y se entrelaza con variables sociodemográficas, no necesariamente con características de superación personal ni de una personalidad emprendedora y economicista.

Authors: Sanajlih Owise Mahmoud , Al-Tawil Eman Muslim Abdullah , Khassawneh Fatima Yousef abd-Alrahman 
Published: February 2025

Objective: In this study, the researcher attempts to analyze the floors aesthetically rather than mathematically as in most other studies that tackled such floors.

Theoretical Framework: The researcher describes the floors with images from their source, explaining their shapes and describing their themes in a separate study.

Method: Such study enables the researcher to address two specificities that present the main research problem. The first specificity is the effect of the acute viewing angle formed by the vertical line of the human body and his line-of-sight, which imposes itself for viewing floor’s paintings and ornaments.

Results and Discussion: The results obtained revealed [synthesize the main results of the research]. In the discussion section, these results are contextualized in light of the theoretical framework, highlighting the implications and relationships identified. Possible discrepancies and limitations of the study are also considered in this section.

Research Implications: This angle distorts the realistic drawing and doesn't affect the geometric drawing. Most of the floor’s ornaments are geometric ornaments, so viewing the geometric shape from this angle changes it into another geometric shape. The second specificity is the ornamental theme of floors.

Originality/Value: The researcher also classifies the ornaments according to the procedures of movement into five categories based on the movement of shape, line, point, shadow, and light. Furthermore, the researcher explains the importance of line in ornaments as it is predominant. The researcher classifies the ornaments into five types for a third time based on the line types.

Transformation of Secondary Residences into Primary Residences After the Earthquake and Pandemic Process: Dörtyol Summer Houses
Authors: Büyüköztürk Elife 
Published: February 2025

Objective: In the post-pandemic period in Turkey, the use of secondary housing as permanent housing is common. While Dörtyol summer residences, which constitute the study area, were used only in summer or on weekends until 2020, their usage pattern changed after the pandemic process and the Pazarcık and Hatay earthquakes, and they started to be used as permanent residences.

Theoretical Framework: The fact that the property owners, who preferred to live in their summer residences instead of their houses in the city center due to the lower risk of disease and isolated socialization during the pandemic process, continued to use this place despite the secondary disaster risk after the 2023 Pazarcık and Hatay earthquakes raised a question mark. The use of houses that were previously used only in the summer months also in the winter months has necessitated some changes in the houses. In this context, the article traces the reasons for the use of secondary dwellings as primary dwellings in the post-earthquake period and the spatial change in the dwellings.

Method: In the study, qualitative and quantitative data techniques were used together to identify the decisions affecting spatial transformation. A survey of 100 respondents was supplemented with oral interviews.

Results and Discussion: As a result, data were obtained on the reasons why the participants prefer secondary housing, the problems they experience, daily life practices, neighborhood relations, and furniture features.

Originality/Value: The study supports transforming the post-earthquake reconstruction process into an opportunity and envisioning architectural projects that adopt sustainability principles.

Theoretical Framework: This article covers important theories that are relevant to the implementation and enforcement of GLCs integrity. It emphasizes the importance of documentation, such as codes of ethics and anti-corruption measures, for positively impacting organizational behavior and motivating adherence to integrity rules.

Method: This study employs a qualitative research design derived from a case study approach using Government-Linked Companies (GLCs) integrity departments staff's experience. Thus, with a combination of the literature review and case studies approach, this study aims to derive an in-depth understanding towards the respective legislative measures taken so far to strengthen the integrity of the employees involved in these GLCs.

Results and Discussion: The findings show differences in knowledge and application of integrity legislation, where it is evident that higher employees have more awareness of integrity laws than lower-level employees. The research illuminates the need for a dual approach that is to enforce the rigorously and enjoin preventative measures to establish deep seated culture of integrity. These insights further support GLCs in strengthening accountability and fostering the embedment of integrity across the organization, consistent with SDG 16.

Research Implications: This study explores approaches to better communication, training, and alignment of operations to increase integrity. It emphasizes their indispensable role in promotion of ethical conduct and serves as a compass for policy makers and leaders engaged in governance and anti-corruption efforts. It supports initiatives to enhance transparency and accountability in Government-Linked Companies (GLCs) in alignment with SDG 16.

Originality/Value: The originality of this research lies in its focus on the integration of written guidelines, law enforcement, and integrity cultivation within GLCs, exploring the gaps in understanding and implementation between management and staff. It offers unique insights into building effective ethical governance structures and aligning legislative frameworks with internal practices.

Authors: Warami Hugo , Mofu Suriel Semuel , Sanggenafa Elisabeth Lenny Marit 
Published: February 2025

Objective: This study aims to uncover the problem of Papuan socio-cultural codification which has been presented in different spaces and interests and can holistically make an inventory of it into a unified whole.

Theoretical Framework: The two approaches used are a theoretical approach and a methodological approach. The theoretical approach is an exploration of Anthropologuistic theory, while the methodological approach is a descriptive approach with an explanative dimension.

Method: This study follows the procedures, namely the stage of providing data, stage of data analysis, and stage of presenting the results of data analysis. The data used in this study consists of primary data and secondary data.

Results and Discussion: The results of this study holistically identify the problem of Papuan socio-cultural codification consisting of 5 (five) parts of the codification system, namely: Race Groups, Kinship, Traditional Politics, Cultural Areas, and Archipelago’s Imaginary Line.

Research Implications: The practical implication of this study is that it can be used as a basic reference in the practice of developing human resources and natural resources in the Land of Papua, while the theoretical implication is that anthropolinguistic theory has not been able to encode the entire socio-cultural order in each ethnicity.

Originality/Value: This research contributes to the development of the socio-cultural dimensions of Papua and can collaborate theoretically in other fields of science to complement developing theory.
The Physical Activity Behavior Trends (PAB) and Emotional Wellbeing Among the Senior Nursing Residents in Albania: Towards the Good Health and Wellbeing SDGs 3
Authors: Xhebexhiu Klajdi , Çitozi Robert 
Published: February 2025

Aims: This study aims to explore the relationship between physical activity behavior (PAB) and emotional well-being among older adults residing in nursing homes in Albania, with a focus on contributing to the SDGs Target 3 of good health and well-being.

Method: A cross-sectional study with a single measurement was conducted at the Senior Nursing Home in Tirana, involving 24 older adults aged 65 and above. The study utilized the EQ-5D-3L questionnaire to assess emotional well-being and physical activity behavior.

Results: The findings revealed that men show higher levels of engagement in physical activities compared to women, highlighting a gender disparity in PAB. Regression analyses indicated a limited predictive ability of emotional well-being based on PAB, suggesting that other psychosocial factors, such as socioeconomic status, may play a more significant role in influencing emotional health. Emotional well-being was not strongly connected to PAB, with factors like social support and environmental accessibility potentially having a greater impact.

Conclusions: The study concludes that while physical activity is an important aspect of healthy aging, it alone is insufficient to guarantee emotional well-being among older adults in Albania.

Research Implication: The results highlight the importance of developing programs that go beyond physical activity to include emotional and social support for older adults in nursing homes. Policymakers and healthcare providers should consider socioeconomic factors when designing interventions to promote healthy aging. This study contributes to the broader discourse on aging and health, particularly in non-EU contexts, and provides a foundation for further research in this area.
