Published: January 2024

Carob molasses pulp flour (CMP), rich in fibers, minerals, and polyphenolics that can benefit human health and have a high potential as a dietary source, is a waste or by-product of carob molasses and carob syrup production. In this study, the effect of adding industrial food waste CMP to commonly consumed cake to develop inexpensive food products with increased nutritional value on the textural, physical, and sensory qualities of the cake was investigated. In this study, 5, 10, and 15% CMP were used instead of wheat flour in the cake, and its quality characteristics were investigated. Weight loss was 14.50±0.1% and volume was 101.83±0.7 dm3 for the control cake, and it was similar in all samples. Although the hardness of the CMP15 cake (480.95±94.5 g) was slightly increased (p<0.05), CMP05 and CMP10 had similar textures compared to the control cake (368.75±33.4 g). The highest color values belonged to the control cake (L*=60.68±0.71 and b*=45.79±0.47). The cake colors strongly depended on the CMP. CMP increased cocoa-like color, which was preferred and desired by some consumers. In conclusion, the utilization of CMP did not significantly change the volume, weight loss, texture, and sensorial properties of cake samples according to the control. According to the findings, up to 15% of CMP can be added to the cake recipes with high sensory acceptance, and without any decrease in quality parameters. As a result, CMP, which is thought to be extremely rich in fibers, minerals, and polyphenolics, may be very suitable as a natural additive or substitute material for many foodstuffs, such as functional foods.

Amaç: Bu çalışmanın amacı 65 yaş ve üzeri bireylerde beslenme, malnütrisyon, fiziksel aktivite ve depresyon durumunun saptanması ve bu değişkenlerin duygu durumu üzerindeki etkisinin değerlendirilmesidir.
Bireyler ve Yöntem: Bu kesitsel çalışma, 65 yaş ve üzeri 120 birey ile yürütülmüştür. Çalışmada bireylerin tanımlayıcı özellikleri, antropometrik ölçümleri ve bazı biyokimyasal bulguları anket soruları ile sorgulanmıştır. Bireylerin beslenme ve fiziksel aktivite durumları, 24 saatlik geriye dönük besin tüketimleri ve 24 saatlik fiziksel aktivite kayıtları alınarak değerlendirilmiştir. Yaşlı bireylerde malnütrisyon durumunu saptamak için Mini Nütrisyonel Değerlendirme (MNA- Mini Nutritional Assessment), depresyon durumunu değerlendirmek için ise geriatrik depresyon ölçeği (GDÖ) kullanılmış ve elde edilen veriler kayıt altına alınmıştır.
Bulgular: Çalışmada, MNA’ya göre bireylerin %89.2’si (s=107) beslenme durumu normal, %10,8’i (s=13) ise malnütrisyon riski altında olarak değerlendirilmiştir. Malnütrisyon riski altında olan bireylerin GDÖ ortalama değerleri beslenme durumu normal olan bireylerin GDÖ ortalama değerinden daha yüksek bulunmuştur (p=0.02). Ayrıca malnütrisyon riski altında olan bireylerin fiziksel aktivite düzeyi (PAL) ortalama değerlerinin beslenme durumu normal olan bireylere göre daha düşük olduğu görülmüştür (p=0.04). Malnütrisyon riski altında olan bireylerin GDÖ skoru ile, diyetle alınan magnezyum ve fosfor değerleri arasında negatif yönde bir korelasyon (sırasıyla p=0.03, p=0.05) bulunmuştur.
Sonuç: Malnütrisyon riski olan 65 yaş ve üzeri bireylerin fiziksel olarak daha az aktif olduğu ve bu bireylerde depresyon skorunun beslenme durumu normal olan bireylere göre daha yüksek olduğu, ayrıca diyetle alınan düşük magnezyum ve fosfor tüketiminin daha yüksek depresyon skoru ile ilişkili olduğu görülmüştür.

Detecting Natural Wolbachia Infection and Supergroup Identification of Metochus uniguttatus in North India
Authors: Joshi Anuradha Sameer 
Published: January 2024

Introduction: Insect endosymbionts have a crucial evolutionary and ecological role. Insects, particularly arthropods, have evolved to tolerate a wide range of endosymbionts that provide them with external biochemical, genetic, and reproductive capacities that improve their fitness. Wolbachia is a widely prevalent bacterial endosymbiont that is gaining popularity in insect research due to its utility in pest and vector management. Although India has a diverse insect population, little research has been undertaken on insect-microbe interactions. Therefore, This study aimed to ascertain the spread of Wolbachia in a randomly sampled set of insects, identify any novel Wolbachia infections, and determine the Wolbachia infection’s supergroup.
Materials and methods: Field capture of insects was carried out manually with netting and gloves, and the insects were immediately stored in absolute ethanol to immobilize them. Phenol-chloroform-isoamyl alcohol was the method used to extract the insect DNA. Insect species identification was carried out via the CO1 mitochondrial gene using PCR amplification. PCR was utilized to identify the presence of Wolbachia, and 16S Wspec DNA was amplified to confirm its presence. The Sanger method was used to sequence the amplified CO1 and the positive samples for Wspec. Using NCBI blast, the sequences of the infected insects were compared with the database sequences. The obtained FASTAs were then aligned using Sequencher 5.4.6, and the chromatograms were examined to ensure contig quality and similarity.
Results: Among the 21 insects screened, one was found weakly positive (Playpleura octoguttata) and two were strongly positive (Metochus uniguttatus and Velarifictorus micado) with Wolbachia, which represented an infection rate of 14.29%. Although the individual infection rate in this limited sample size falls at the lower end compared to extensive surveys reporting rates between 20% and 76%. This study indicated the dissemination of Wolbachia in randomly screened insects. Moreover, this is one of the first records of Metochus uniguttatus being infected with Wolbachia in North India.
Conclusion: This study represents an initial exploration of insects not previously considered hosts of the Wolbachia endosymbiont. The results could be useful for future studies on insect biocontrol and pest management.

How Can We Reach the True Definition of Something?
Authors: Lee Minjun 
Published: January 2024

This paper aimed to vindicate that Aristotle’s method of reaching the definition of something in Z 12 of Metaphysics is incomplete and suggest the way in which we can reach its true definition. This paper claimed that the definition reached by genus and differentia (say, “a human is a featherless, two-footed animal.”) is not true but merely a taxonomic definition¾“what a definition is like” (1038a35). The combination of essential differentiae of something does not express what it is intrinsically but what other things are not, although the definition is the account of the essence. The combination of the differentiae ‘featherless’ and ‘two-footed’ are not what makes us humans in a positive sense. These differentiae simply set us apart from all other animals. Moreover, his method is arbitrary. The combination of essential differentiae is subject to change insofar as we can swap out one differentia for another. However, the essence of something cannot be changeable. In order to make “a definition like” be “a true definition,” this paper suggests another interpretation of the ultimate differentia. As he presents it, the ultimate differentia is the one that cannot be further divided. However, this paper interprets the ultimate differentia of something as its activity (ἐνέργειά) and its end (τέλος). Hence, it is necessary to combine Aristotle’s method of differentiation with the teleological ultimate differentia of something if we want to reach its true definition. Aristotle at various times refers to human as a rational animal, at other times as a featherless two-footed animal throughout his corpus. This paper suggests that one is taxonomic, an example of what definition is like, and the other one represents the achievement that can be made when we know the true end of a thing¾that is, true definition, if a human is for thinking with our logos.

Stroke adalah serangan otak yang timbul secara mendadak dimana terjadi gangguan fungi otak sebagian atau menyeluruh sebagai akibat dari gangguan aliran darah oleh karena sumbatan atau pecahnya pembuluh darah tertentu di otak sehingga menyebabkan sel-sel otak kekurangan darah, oksigen atau zat - zat makanan dan akhirnya dapat terjadi kematian sel-sel tersebut dalam waktu relatif singkat. Salah satu kunci penting dalam mengurangi kematian dan meminimalkan kerusakan otak yang ditimbulkan oleh stroke iskemik adalah memberikan penanganan yang cepat dan tepat (golden period). Waktu yang paling direkomendasikan pada pasien stroke 3 – 4,5 jam yang disebut golden period. Jika penanganan stroke diberikan lebih dari rentang waktu (golden period) maka kerusakan neurologis yang dialami pasien akan bersifat permanen. Dalam penelitian lain, golden period bagi penderita stroke untuk mendapatkan penyelamatan yang optimal adalah kurang dari 6 jam setelah stroke pertama kali ditemukan. Penanganan medis yang baru diberikan lebih dari 12 jam setelah stroke terjadi berisiko menyebabkan cacat permanen yang lebih besar. Tujuan : Untuk meningkatkan pemahaman tentang golden period dan pencegahan memburuknya kondisi fisik jika terkena stroke pada perkumpulan ibu PKK di desa Tumang kecamatan Cepogo kabupaten Boyolali. Metode: Kegiatan in dipilih untuk menyampaikan penyuluhan yang dikemas dengan metode ceramah menggunakan media power point dan leaflet. Evaluasi pengetahuan tentang golden period dilakukan menggunakan kuesioner pre-test dan kuesioner post-test. Hasil: Kuesioner pre-test diperoleh hasil sebanyak 18 orang tidak memahami tentang golden period dan stroke sedangkan hanya 7 orang yang memiliki pemahaman tentang golden period dan stroke. Kuesioner post-test diperoleh hasil sebanyak 23 orang memahami tentang materi penyuluhan yang diberikan sedangkan hanya 2 orang yang tidak memahami materi penyuluhan yang diberikan. Kesimpulan : Penyuluhan golden period pada stroke memiliki dampak baik dalam membantu meningkatkan pengetahuan anggota komunitas terkait golden period pada stroke.

Pairing New Approach of Tree Soft with MCDM Techniques: Toward Advisory an Outstanding Web Service Provider Based on QoS Levels
Authors: AL-baker Sara Fawaz , El-henawy Ibrahim , Mohamed Mona 
Published: January 2024

Web services (WSs) have become dynamic because of technological advancements and internet usage. Hence, selecting a WS provider among a variety of WS providers that perform the same function is a critical process. However, the crucial point is that various consumers may have varied needs when it comes to the quality attributes of services, such as cost, response time, throughput, security, availability, etc. These aspects of Web services are known as quality of service (QoS), or non-functional characteristics. Hence, this issue is the robust motivator for conducting this study. The objective of this study is to evaluate a set of WSs that provide various services for various consumers and organizations. This evaluation is conducted based on a set of QoS attributes. Hence, we are applying a new approach to describe this problem in the form of leaves or branches of a tree or hierarchy. This approach is represented in a soft tree set. Also, we leveraged Multi-Criteria Decision Making (MCDM) techniques such as entropy and weighted sum methods under the authority of the Single Value Neutrosophic (SVN) Scale. The entropy technique analyzes attributes or leaves in each level contained in the tree's soft approach, obtaining attributes’ weights. These weights are used to rank and recommend optimal WS providers through the application of these weights in WSM. The results of implementing entropy-WSM in a tree-soft approach indicated that WS2 is the optimal provider. In contrast, WS3 is the worst provider.
