'What's Cooking?'- Cookery and Creativity in The Mistress of Spices, Serving Crazy with Curry and Book of Rachel
Authors: Khushu-Lahiri Rajyashree , Rao Shweta 
Published: June 2023

The staggering amount of fiction written on food lately has brought kitchen activity out of the undercover of domesticity and, as a result. food and fiction on food is becoming a high art form. We propose to intervene critically and probe into the politics of representation governing this literary genre. We have two propositions in the paper; first’ fictionalising food is a part of feminist narrative, wherein essentially women’s experiences (physical, psychological and social life within the domestic domain allotted to them by patriarchal/matriarchal conventions) acquire their due literary space. Second, depiction of food in contemporary women’s writings serves a number of purposes, the most crucial being self– referentiality. Writers consciously bestow upon food images the dual role of underscoring their indigenous cultural ethos as well as of validating their identity as creative writers. The written text becomes analogous to the food prepared through culinary endeavours within the text. Thus, food gains I metonymic dimension and cookery is exalted to the echelon of creative writing. Chitra Banerjee Divakaruni’s The Mistress of Spices (1997), Amulya Malladi’s Serving Crazy with Curry (2004) and Esther David’s Book of Rachel (2006) are fictions on food that interrogate and negotiate the ethnic, sexual and creative identities of the protagonists and their creators.

Exile, Cosmopolitanism and the Diasporic Intellectual:
Authors: Alam Fakrul 
Published: June 2023

This paper is an attempt to study Said’s career as literary critic and theorist stimulated by creativity by not being “quite right” and inspirational because “out of place” It will range throughout his works, taking in everything-from his first work, Joseph Conrad and the Fictions of Autobiography (1967) to his posthumously published final books, Humanism and Democratic Criticism (2005) and On Late Style (2006) to demonstrate how he has made out of his uprooted condition and diasporic imaginings a contrapuntal mode of criticism, a skeptical engagement with the western world, and a constant, restless quest for the right to be engaged with the world because he finds it out of place and because he would like to intervene in it to draw attention to at least some of the places where he finds it is askew if only to change it.
Un episodio en la configuración de la ciudad humanista de Écija (Sevilla) durante el Quinientos. Juan de Ochoa y el proyecto de la Fuente de las Ninfas
Authors: Luque Carrillo Juan 
Published: June 2023

In 2010, the Andalusian Institute of Historical Heritage restored one of the most interesting documents kept in the municipal archives of Écija (Sevilla): the drawing with the project of the disappeared Fountain of the Nymphs which, since 1606 until 1866, presided over the town square of Spain, next to the town hall and other government buildings. The document corresponds to a copy of the original model designed by Juan de Ochoa, where its physiognomy, type of composition and rich mythological iconographic program can be appreciated. The recent review of the Écija archive documents the intervention of the architect and the development of the monumental work at the end of the 16th Century and the beginning of the 17th Century.
En 2010 el Instituto Andaluz de Patrimonio Histórico restauró uno de los documentos más relevantes custodiados en el Archivo Municipal de Écija (Sevilla): el dibujo con el proyecto de la desaparecida Fuente de las Ninfas que, desde 1606 y hasta 1866, presidió la Plaza de España de la localidad sevillana, junto a las casas consistoriales y otros edificios del gobierno local. El documento corresponde a una copia del modelo original diseñado por el maestro de cantería Juan de Ochoa, donde queda de manifiesto su fisonomía, tipo de composición y rico programa iconográfico de orientación mitológica. La reciente revisión de los protocolos notariales ecijanos confirma la intervención del citado arquitecto y el desarrollo de la monumental fábrica en los años finales del Quinientos y principios de la centuria siguiente.

Bodegón con cofre de ébano de Antonio Pereda: una exposición de la cultura material del chocolate en la España moderna
Authors: Ruiz López María Pilar 
Published: June 2023

The discovery of the New World was a gastronomic revolution. Chocolate was the food that was introduced with the greatest speed in Spanish society, permeating from the elites to the popular classes. Around this delicacy there are a series of nutritional, aesthetic and sociocultural connotations that intensify it in the protagonist of many moments of daily life. At the beginning of the 17th century, Spanish artists began to make still-lifes, satisfying the demand for collecting, which was already occurring in the rest of Europe. The "chocolate still-lifes" responded to this interest, since works that resulted from the aesthetic avant-garde were valued. This article, through Antonio Pereda's Still-life with an Ebony Chest (1652), compares and analyzes the works of other masters, during the 17th and 18th centuries, who also chose this unique food as the main theme, along with its exclusive material culture that participated in commercial globalization, gestated in the Modern Age.
El descubrimiento del Nuevo Mundo supuso una revolución gastronómica. El chocolate fue uno de los alimentos que se introdujo con mayor velocidad en la sociedad española, permeándose desde las élites hasta las clases populares. Este manjar está rodeado de una serie de connotaciones nutricionales, estéticas y socioculturales que lo convirtieron en protagonista de muchos momentos de la vida cotidiana. A principios del XVII, los artistas españoles comenzaron a realizar naturalezas muertas satisfaciendo la demanda coleccionista, que ya se daba en el resto de Europa. Los “bodegones del chocolate” respondían a este interés, pues se valoraban las obras que resultaban producto de la vanguardia estética. Este artículo, a través de Bodegón con cofre de ébano (1652) de Antonio Pereda, compara y analiza las representaciones de otros maestros, que durante los siglos XVII y XVIII, también escogieron a este singular alimento junto a su exclusiva cultura material que participaba de la globalización comercial, gestada en la Edad Moderna.

Published: June 2023

Aim: The need for formulating and developing smart baby-led weaning (BLW) foods from millet, soybean and ripe banana flour blends as alternative complementary foods inspired this study, which had no documentation in literatures.
Place and Duration of Study: Department of Food Technology, Auchi Polytechnic, Auchi, Nigeria from June 2022 to January 2023.
Methodology: Smart BLW foods were formulated from millet, soybean and ripe banana flour blends and coded as WMF (100% whole millet flour), MSB1 (60% millet; 20% soybean; 20% ripe banana) and MSB2 (50% millet; 30% soybean; 20% ripe banana). The sensory, proximate and mineral compositions of the foods formulated were compared with those of commercial weaning food (CWF).
Results: MSB1 and MSB2 competed favourably with CWF in terms of texture, general acceptability, colour, aroma and taste attributes with high negative deviation most noticeable in WMF (P < 0.05), and exhibited acceptable shelf-life and stability. The ash contents ranged from 1.16±0.02% (WMF) to 2.83±0.02% (MSB2). Increase in fat content in MSB1 to CWF was ≈534%, MSB2 to CWF was ≈492%, MSB1 to WMF was ≈385% and MSB2 to WMF was ≈353% while their protein abundances were in the ratios 1:3.6 for CWF:MSB1, 1:5.9 for CWF:MSB2, 1:2.4 for MWF:MSB1 and 1:3.9 for MWF:MSB2. Generally, MSB1 and MSB2 were appropriate sources of Na, K, Ca, Mg and Zn compared to CWF and WMF in providing adequate intake (AI) and recommended daily allowance (RDA) of these minerals in both infants and children in the age classes of 0-6 months, 7-12 months and 1-3 years.
Conclusion: MSB1 and MSB2 exhibited better intrinsic properties than WMF when compared with CWF. MSB1, however had better general performances than MSB2 and therefore, was recommended as the best smart BLW food formulation from this research.

Published: June 2023

ImportancePrior authorization (PA) requirements for buprenorphine are associated with lower provision of the medication for the treatment of opioid use disorder (OUD). While Medicare plans have eliminated PA requirements for buprenorphine, many Medicaid plans continue to require them.ObjectiveTo describe and classify buprenorphine coverage requirements based on thematic analysis of state Medicaid PA forms.Design, Setting, and ParticipantsThis qualitative study used a thematic analysis of 50 states’ Medicaid PA forms for buprenorphine between November 2020 and March 2021. Forms were obtained from the jurisdiction’s Medicaid websites and assessed for features suggesting barriers to buprenorphine access. A coding tool was developed based on a review of a sample of forms, including fields for behavioral health treatment recommendations or mandates, drug screening requirements, and dosage limitations.Main Outcomes and MeasuresOutcomes included PA requirements for different buprenorphine formulations. Additionally, PA forms were evaluated for various criteria such as behavioral health, drug screenings, dose-related recommendations or mandates or patient education.ResultsAmong the total of 50 US states in the analysis, most states’ Medicaid plans required PA for at least 1 formulation of buprenorphine. However, the majority did not require a PA for buprenorphine-naloxone. Four key themes of coverage requirements were identified: restrictive surveillance (eg, requirements for urine drug screenings, random drug screenings, pill counts), behavioral health treatment recommendations or mandates (eg, mandatory counseling or 12-step meeting attendance), interfering with or restricting medical decision-making (eg, maximum daily dosages of 16 mg, requiring additional steps for dosages higher than 16 mg), and patient education (eg, information about adverse effects and interactions with other medications). Eleven states (22%) required urine drug screenings, 6 states (12%) required random urine drug screenings, and 4 states (8%) required pill counts. Fourteen states’ forms (28%) recommended therapy, and 7 (14%) required therapy, counseling, or participation in group sessions. Eighteen states (36%) specified dosage maximums; among them, 11 (22%) required additional steps for a daily dosage higher than 16 mg.ConclusionIn this qualitative study of state Medicaid PA requirements for buprenorphine, themes were identified that included patient surveillance with drug screenings and pill counts, behavioral health treatment recommendations or mandates, patient education, and dosing guidance. These results suggest that state Medicaid plans’ buprenorphine PA requirements for OUD are in conflict with existing evidence and may negatively affect states’ efforts to address the opioid overdose crisis.

ImportanceDaily oral HIV preexposure prophylaxis (PrEP) delivery requires quarterly clinic visits for HIV testing and drug refilling that are costly to health systems and clients.ObjectiveTo evaluate whether 6-month PrEP dispensing supported with interim HIV self-testing (HIVST) results in noninferior PrEP continuation outcomes at 12 months compared with standard quarterly clinic visits.Design, Setting, and ParticipantsThis randomized noninferiority trial was conducted from May 2018 to May 2021 with 12 months of follow-up among PrEP clients aged 18 years or older who were returning for their first refill at a research clinic in Kiambu County, Kenya.InterventionParticipants were randomized 2:1 to (1) 6-month PrEP dispensing with semiannual clinic visits and interim HIVST at 3 months or (2) standard-of-care (SOC) PrEP delivery with 3-month dispensing, quarterly clinic visits, and clinic-based HIV testing.Main Outcomes and MeasuresPrespecified 12-month outcomes included recent HIV testing (any in past 6 months), PrEP refilling, and PrEP adherence (detectable tenofovir-diphosphate concentrations in dried blood spots). Binomial regression models were used to estimate risk differences (RDs), and a 1-sided 95% CI lower bound (LB) of −10% or greater was interpreted as noninferior.ResultsA total of 495 participants were enrolled, with 329 enrolled in the intervention group and 166 enrolled in the SOC group; 330 (66.7%) were women, 295 (59.6%) were in serodifferent relationships, and the median (IQR) age was 33 (27-40) years. At 12 months, 241 individuals in the intervention group (73.3%) and 120 in the SOC group (72.3%) returned to clinic. In the intervention group, recent HIV testing was noninferior (230 individuals [69.9%]) compared with the SOC group (116 [69.9%]; RD, −0.33%, 95% CI LB, −7.44%). PrEP refilling in the intervention group (196 [59.6%]) was inconclusive compared with the SOC group (104 [62.7%]; RD, −3.25%; 95% CI LB, −10.84%), and PrEP adherence was noninferior in the intervention group (151 [45.9%]) compared with the SOC group (70 [42.2%]; RD, 4.96%; 95% CI LB, −2.46%). No HIV seroconversions were observed over the follow-up period.Conclusions and RelevanceIn this analysis of secondary trial end points at 1 year, semiannual PrEP dispensing with interim HIVST resulted in noninferior recent HIV testing and PrEP adherence compared with SOC quarterly PrEP dispensing. This novel model has the potential to optimize PrEP delivery.Trial RegistrationClinicalTrials.gov Identifier: NCT03593629

AbstractVanadium oxides (VOx) feature the potential for high‐capacity Zn2+ storage, which are often preintercalated with inert ions or lattice water for accelerating Zn2+ migration kinetics. The inertness of these preintercalated species for Zn2+ storage and their incapability for conducting electrons, however, compromise the capacity and rate capability of VOx. Herein, Ni‐BTA, a 1D conductive metal–organic framework (c‐MOF), is intercalated into the interlayer space of VOx by coordinating organic ligands with preinserted Ni2+. The intercalated Ni‐BTA improves the conductivity of VOx by π–d conjugation, facilitates Zn2+ migration by enlarging its interlayer spacing, and stabilizes the crystal structure of VOx as interlayer pillars, thus simultaneously enhancing the material's rate capability and cycling stability. Meanwhile, a dual reaction mechanism of Zn2+ storage, i.e., the redox of V5+/V3+ in VOx and the rearrangement of chemical bonds (CN/CN) in Ni‐BTA, collaboratively contributes to an enhanced capacity. Consequently, this Ni‐BTA‐intercalated VOx material exhibits a high Zn2+ storage capacity of 464.2 mAh g−1 at 0.2 A g−1 and an excellent rate capability of 272.5 mAh g−1 at 5 A g−1. This work provides a general strategy for integrating c‐MOFs with inorganic cathode materials to achieve high‐capacity and high‐rate performance.

Published: June 2023

AbstractThe high energy density, low cost, and low toxicity of LiNi0.8Co0.1Mn0.1O2 (NCM811) cathodes has led to their large‐scale mass production. However, the poor interfacial stability between NCM811 and organic electrolytes impairs the long‐cycle performance of lithium ions batteries. In this study, carbonized polymer dots (CPDs) are successfully introduced onto the surface of NCM811 (NCM811@CPDs) via a simple physical mixing process. CPDs with rich surface oxygen functional groups form strong covalent bonds with transition metal (TM) ions at the NCM811 surface, distinctly restraining surface structure degradation, and transition metal ion dissolution. Furthermore, CPDs facilitate the formation of a compact and steady cathode electrolyte interface (CEI) layer during electrochemical cycling. As a result, the NCM811@1 wt% CPDs exhibit enhanced cycling performance with a capacity retention of 89.77% after 100 cycles at 0.5 C compared to 55.39% of the bare NCM811. This facile and effective surface decoration strategy provides valuable guidance for improving the stability and cycling performance of Ni‐rich cathodes.
Comparing Parallel Plastic‐to‐X Pathways and Their Role in a Circular Economy for PET Bottles

Published: June 2023

AbstractThe United States generates the most plastic waste of any country and is a top contributor to global plastic pollution. Multiple end‐of‐life strategies must be implemented to minimize environmental impacts and retain valuable plastic material, but it is challenging to compare options that generate products with different lifetimes and utilities. Herein, they present a material flow model equipped with consequential life cycle assessment, cost analysis, and a plastic circularity indicator that considers product quality and lifetime. The model is used to estimate the greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, circularity, and cost of polyethylene terephthalate (PET) bottle mechanical downcycling to lower‐quality resin, closed‐loop glycolysis to food‐grade PET, upcycling to glass fiber‐reinforced plastic, and conversion to non‐plastic products (electricity, oil) on a United States economy‐wide basis for the year 2020. A brute force algorithm suggests that a combination of 68% glycolysis, 11% mechanical recycling, 6% upcycling, 9% landfilling, and 5% incineration can minimize the cost and GHG emissions and maximize the circularity of the current PET economy. However, uncertainty around transportation distances, materials recovery facility efficiencies, and recycling yields can result in different “optimal” pathway mixes. This flexible framework enables informed decision‐making to move toward a cost‐ and environment‐conscious circular economy for plastic.
