Food Consumption/Nutrition/Food Safety

description: Talking about food sustainability, including environmental, social and economic issues concerns the whole product life-cycle (i.e., from the production to the consumption as well as transportation, distribution, waste and losses). Thereby, new forms of food supply chain have emerged over the last decade such as farmers markets, Community Supported Agriculture (CSA), organics and Fairtrade stores, online sales. These different marketing channels are called Alternative Food Networks (AFN’s) and are considered as an alternative to conventional system (Renting et al. 2003; Ilbery and Maye 2005a; Sonnino and Marsden, 2006). It will be noted in this respect that conventional system dominated by the retail sector is characterized by products standardization, specialization and concentration of the actors, globalized procurement and buyer-driven chains (Gereffi, 1994).

description: Poyang Lake, the largest freshwater lake in China, plays a key role in regulating the hydrology, water quality and ecosystem in the middle reaches of the Yangtze River. Recent industrial development and urbanization in Jiangxi province have driven rapid increase in water consumption and deterioration of water quality, exerting pressure on water utilization in the Poyang Lake basin. In order to set up an integrated water management framework for the protection of Poyang Lake’s ecosystem and surrounding communities, an accurate and representative evaluation of the hydraulic and environmental challenges is vital. In this research, a numerical model is developed and utilized to simulate the hydrodynamics and water quality of Poyang Lake and its surrounding river networks. The study couples an in-house 1-D river network hydrodynamic and mass transport model together with a 2-D MIKE hydrodynamic and water quality model. The model is validated against field-measured data from the local water authorities. The impact of the proposed downstream barrage on Poyang Lake’s hydrodynamics and water quality is then investigated. It is concluded that: the establish integrated model is capable of simulating the hydrodynamic and water-quality processes of the Poyang Lake to satisfactory degrees; and the operation of proposed barrage has large effects on the nutrients distribution and water resources availability. The findings of the study contribute to a better understanding of the fate of Poyang Lake’s pollutants and the influence of the proposed hydraulic projects on the lake’s flow and ecosystem. Many of these findings are relevant to large freshwater lakes in other developing countries and could contribute to the fields of water engineering and water management.

description: Many studies have shown that adopted children show higher levels of psychological adjustment than children living in institutions. However, there is little research comparing the behaviour and cognitive abilities of adopted and institution-reared children in Latin America, despite the large number of children living in institutional care. The aim of this thesis was to examine differences in the socio-emotional and cognitive functioning of adopted and institution-reared children in Chile, and to identify factors associated with the psychological adjustment and cognitive ability of adopted children. Data were obtained from 52 adopted children and their parents, and a comparison group of 50 children living in institutions. All adoptions were national and the children were aged between 4-9 years. Children’s psychological problems and attachment difficulties were assessed using the Strengths and Difficulties Questionnaire and the Relationship Problems Questionnaire, respectively, completed by adoptive parents or caregivers and teachers. Cognitive functioning was assessed using the Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children-Third Edition (WISC-III). The Structured Child Assessment of Relationships in Families was used to assess children’s perceptions of family relationships. Adoptive mothers and fathers were individually administered a standardised interview designed to assess parenting quality and questionnaire assessments of anxiety, depression, marital quality and parenting stress. Observational assessments of mother-child interaction were also carried out. Adopted children showed significantly higher levels of socio-emotional and cognitive functioning than institution-reared children, with the majority of adopted children scoring within the normal range and the majority of institutionalised children showed clinical levels of emotional and behavioural problems. The mean IQ score of adopted children was 23 points higher than that of the institutionalised group. Factors associated with more positive outcomes among the adopted children were a younger age at adoption and lower levels of maternal and paternal stress. Although a selection effect cannot be ruled out, with higher functioning children more likely to be adopted, the results point to a beneficial effect of adoption on the psychological development and wellbeing of institutionalised children in Chile.

description: Water, food and energy (WFE) are strongly interconnected: each depends on the other for a lot of concerns, spanning from guaranteeing access to services, to environmental, social and ethical impact issues, to price relations. The development, use, and waste generated by demand for these resources drive global changes and fears of resource scarcity. To date, a new approach to the concept of sustainable development is emerging and a joint analysis of these three areas is needed. “Demand for water, food and energy is expected to rise by 30-50% in the next two decades, while economic disparities incentivize short-term responses in production and consumption that undermine long-term sustainability. Shortages could cause social and political instability, geopolitical conflict and irreparable environmental damages. Any strategy that focuses on one part of the WFE relationships without considering its interconnections risks serious unintended consequences” (World Economic Forum, 2011).

description: Over the past decade, the data lake concept has emerged as an alternative to data warehouses for storing and analyzing big data. A data lake allows storing data without any predefined schema. Therefore, data querying and analysis depend on a metadata system that must be efficient and comprehensive. However, metadata management in data lakes remains a current issue and the criteria for evaluating its effectiveness are more or less nonexistent.In this paper, we introduce MEDAL, a generic, graph-based model for metadata management in data lakes. We also propose evaluation criteria for data lake metadata systems through a list of expected features. Eventually, we show that our approach is more comprehensive than existing metadata systems.

description: The forthcoming generation of galaxy redshift surveys will sample the large-scale structure of the Universe over unprecedented volumes with high-density tracers. This advancement will make robust measurements of three-point clustering statistics possible. In preparation for this improvement, we investigate how several methodological choices can influence inferences based on the bispectrum about galaxy bias and shot noise. We first measure the real-space bispectrum of dark-matter haloes extracted from 298 N-body simulations covering a volume of approximately $1000 h^{-3} \mathrm{Gpc}^3$. We then fit a series of theoretical models based on tree-level perturbation theory to the numerical data. To achieve this, we estimate the covariance matrix of the measurement errors by using 10,000 mock catalogues generated with the Pinocchio code. We study how the model constraints are influenced by the binning strategy for the bispectrum configurations and by the form of the likelihood function. We also use Bayesian model-selection techniques to single out the optimal theoretical description of our data. We find that a three-parameter bias model combined with Poissonian shot noise is necessary to model the halo bispectrum up to scales of $k_\mathrm{max}\lesssim 0.08 h \mathrm{Mpc}^{-1}$, although fitting formulae that relate the bias parameters can be helpful to reduce the freedom of the model without compromising accuracy. Our data clearly disfavour local Eulerian and local Lagrangian bias models and do not require corrections to Poissonian shot noise. We anticipate that model-selection diagnostics will be particularly useful to extend the analysis to smaller scales as, in this case, the number of model parameters will grow significantly large.

description: Functional and structural alterations of peritubular capillaries (PTCs) are a major determinant of chronic kidney disease (CKD). Using a software-based algorithm for semiautomatic segmentation and morphometric quantification, this study analyzes alterations of PTC shape associated with chronic tubulointerstitial injury in three mouse models and in human biopsies. In normal kidney tissue PTC shape was predominantly elongated, whereas the majority of PTCs associated with chronic tubulointerstitial injury had a rounder shape. This was reflected by significantly reduced PTC luminal area, perimeter and diameters as well as by significantly increased circularity and roundness. These morphological alterations were consistent in all mouse models and human kidney biopsies. The mean circularity of PTCs correlated significantly with categorized glomerular filtration rates and the degree of interstitial fibrosis and tubular atrophy (IFTA) and classified the presence of CKD or IFTA. 3D reconstruction of renal capillaries revealed not only a significant reduction, but more importantly a substantial simplification and reconfiguration of the renal microvasculature in mice with chronic tubulointerstitial injury. Our findings indicate that alterations of PTC shape represent a common and uniform reaction to chronic tubulointerstitial injury independent of the underlying kidney disease.

description: Pulmonary delivery and formulation of biologics are among the more complex and growing scientific topics in drug delivery. We herein developed a dry powder formulation using disordered mesoporous silica particles (MSP) as the sole excipient and lysozyme, the most abundant antimicrobial proteins in the airways, as model protein. The MSP had the optimal size for lung deposition (2.43 ± 0.13 µm). A maximum lysozyme loading capacity (0.35 mg/mg) was achieved in 150 mM PBS, which was seven times greater than that in water. After washing and freeze-drying, we obtained a dry powder consisting of spherical, non-aggregated particles, free from residual buffer, or unabsorbed lysozyme. The presence of lysozyme was confirmed by TGA and FT-IR, while N2 adsorption/desorption and SAXS analysis indicate that the protein is confined within the internal mesoporous structure. The dry powder exhibited excellent aerodynamic performance (fine particle fraction <5 µm of 70.32%). Lysozyme was released in simulated lung fluid in a sustained kinetics and maintaining high enzymatic activity (71–91%), whereas LYS-MSP were shown to degrade into aggregated nanoparticulate microstructures, reaching almost complete dissolution (93%) within 24 h. MSPs were nontoxic to in vitro lung epithelium. The study demonstrates disordered MSP as viable carriers to successfully deliver protein to the lungs, with high deposition and retained activity.

description: To assess the association between placental morphology and neonatal and infant anthropometry, including analysis by sex. Data from the ROLO Kids [Randomized COntrol Trial of LOw Glycaemic Index in Pregnancy] study were analyzed including placental weight and morphology. Placental, anthropometric and skinfold measurements were recorded as markers of adiposity in 196 neonates and 215 infants at 6 months of age. Ratios including subscapular-to-triceps skinfold ratio and waist-to-height ratio were used as markers of central adiposity, while the sum of all skinfolds and subscapular plus triceps skinfolds were used as markers of general adiposity. Analysis was performed for total groups and by sex. On simple linear regression placental weight was associated with neonatal and infant anthropometric measurements. On multiple regression, the placental weight was associated with birth weight. In the neonatal period placental weight was associated with general adiposity in males only (sum of skinfolds (B 0.007, p < .001) and subscapular + triceps skinfolds a marker of general adiposity (B 0.004 p < .001)). At 6 months of age placental length was positively associated with central adiposity in the total group (B 0.006, p .036) and maximum cord diameter was inversely associated with infant central adiposity (B − 0.309 p .043) in males only. The placental phenotype is associated with anthropometry at birth and this association persists to early infancy with a stronger relationship noted in this cohort amongst males. This suggests sexual dimorphism may play a role in the impact of the placenta on infant anthropometry.

description: I examine the hypothesis that many of the high velocity white dwarfs observed by Oppenheimer et al. (2001) are the remnants of donor stars from binaries that produced type Ia supernovae via the `single degenerate' channel. If this channel is a significant contributor to the Galactic SN Ia supernova rate, then the local density of such remnants with V>100 km/s could be as high as 2.e-4 per cubic parsec, comparable to the densities found by Oppenheimer et al. This white dwarf population differs from others in that it is composed exclusively of single stars.

description: Language acquisition is the process of learning words from the surrounding scene. We introduce a meta-learning framework that learns how to learn word representations from unconstrained scenes. We leverage the natural compositional structure of language to create training episodes that cause a meta-learner to learn strong policies for language acquisition. Experiments on two datasets show that our approach is able to more rapidly acquire novel words as well as more robustly generalize to unseen compositions, significantly outperforming established baselines. A key advantage of our approach is that it is data efficient, allowing representations to be learned from scratch without language pre-training. Visualizations and analysis suggest visual information helps our approach learn a rich cross-modal representation from minimal examples.

description: Action control arises from the interaction of two anatomically distinct decision-making systems, namely goal-directed and habitual behaviour. Goal-directed behaviour is characterized by the consideration of future choices and respective outcomes whereas habitual responding is driven by stimulus-response associations. Response inhibition is essential for goal-directed behaviour and deficits are shown in impulsivity. We administered an acute clinically relevant dosage of the commonly used serotonin reuptake inhibitor escitalopram to sixty-six healthy volunteers in a double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled design. We administered a large task battery in order to study the effect of escitalopram in several cognitive functions including response inhibition, learning and affective processing. We found dissociate effects on cognitive aspects possibly mediated by distinct cortico-striatal loops. Acute escitalopram administration had a beneficial effect on action cancellation, one aspect of inhibitory control, without any effect on action restraint or waiting impulsivity. The treatment resulted in impaired performance in a probabilistic reversal-learning task and increased sensitivity to misleading feedback thus leading to maladaptive performance. An extra-dimensional set shift impairment during an attention set shift task and a tendency towards impaired instrumental learning discrimination were also observed in the escitalopram group. Our results are discussed in the context of well-documented effects of the dopaminergic system and suggestions of opponent interaction of serotonin and dopamine.

description: In this work, we investigate the impacts of the future gravitational-wave (GW) standard siren observation by the Einstein Telescope (ET) on constraining the interacting dark energy (IDE) models. We simulate 1000 GW events in the redshift range of $0\lesssim z \lesssim 5$ based on the 10-year observation of the ET. We combine the simulated GW data with the current mainstream cosmological electromagnetic observations including the cosmic microwave background anisotropies, the baryon acoustic oscillations, and the type Ia supernovae to constrain the IDE models. We consider typical IDE models in the context of a perturbed universe. To avoid the large-scale instability problem for IDE models, we apply the extended parameterized post-Friedmann approach to calculate the cosmological perturbations. We find that the addition of the GW standard siren data could significantly improve the constraint accuracies for most of the cosmological parameters (e.g., $H_{0}$, $w$, and $Ω_{\rm m}$). For the coupling parameter $β$, the constraint errors could also be slightly improved when adding the GW data in the cosmological fit.

description: Aquaculture is criticized for its potential negative impacts on the environment and for its consequences on fish welfare. One solution to these problems and a promising development track for the German aquaculture sector is the adoption of sustainable production methods. The establishment of a new market segment for domestic sustainable fish would accommodate to the trend towards ethical consumerism. So far, only little is known about the consumers’ knowledge and perception of sustainable aquaculture. Against this background the present contribution aims to explore perceptions and knowledge of German consumers with regard to sustainable aquaculture, its production systems and related labels by using focus groups. Recommendations for further communication of sustainable aquaculture to consumers are deduced. One central result is that consumers were mainly unfamiliar with aquaculture in general. However, they had some clear expectations towards sustainable aquaculture. The use of drugs should be minimized; production systems should be close to nature and should respect fish welfare. Obviously, participants deduced their understanding of aquaculture from theirs of terrestrial animal husbandry. The study also shows consumers’ low awareness of the existing sustainability labels on the German market.

description: The present study was designed to develop a self-micellizing solid dispersion (SMSD) containing Thymoquinone (TQM), a phytonutrient obtained from Nigella sativa seeds, aiming to improve its biopharmaceutical and nephroprotective functions. The apparent solubility of TQM in polymer solutions was used to choose an appropriate amphiphilic polymer that could be used to make an SMSD system. Based on the apparent solubility, Soluplus® was selected as an appropriate carrier, and mixing with TQM, SMSD-TQM with different loadings of TQM (5–15%) was made by solvent evaporation and freeze-drying techniques, respectively, and the formulations were optimized. The optimized SMSD-TQM was evaluated in terms of particle size distribution, morphology, release characteristics, pharmacokinetic behavior, and nephroprotective effects in a rat model of acute kidney injury. SMSD-TQM significantly improved the dissolution characteristics (97.8%) of TQM in water within 60 min. Oral administration of SMSD-TQM in rats exhibited a 4.9-fold higher systemic exposure than crystalline TQM. In a cisplatin-induced (6 mg/kg, i.p.) acute kidney-damaged rat model, oral SMSD-TQM (10 mg/kg) improved the nephroprotective effects of TQM based on the results of kidney biomarkers and histological abnormalities. These findings suggest that SMSD-TQM might be efficacious in enhancing the nephroprotective effect of TQM by overcoming biopharmaceutical limitations.

In this way we show that there is no contradiction between nonlocality and lorentz invariance in quantum mechanics. The approach is illustrated for relativistic bosons, using a simple model to discuss the individual non-locally correlated particle motion which ensues when the wavefunction is entangled. A simple example of measurement is described.

description: A common malignant bone neoplasm in teenagers is Osteosarcoma. Chemotherapy, surgical therapy, and radiation therapy together comprise the usual clinical course of treatment for Osteosarcoma. While Osteosarcoma and other bone tumors are typically treated surgically, however, surgical resection frequently fails to completely eradicate tumors, and in turn becomes the primary reason for postoperative recurrence and metastasis, ultimately leading to a high rate of mortality. Patients still require radiation and/or chemotherapy after surgery to stop the spread of the tumor and its metastases, and both treatments have an adverse influence on the body’s organ systems. In the postoperative management of osteosarcoma, bone scaffolds can load cargos (growth factors or drugs) and function as drug delivery systems (DDSs). This review describes the different kinds of bone scaffolds that are currently available and highlights key studies that use scaffolds as DDSs for the treatment of osteosarcomas. The discussion also includes difficulties and perspectives regarding the use of scaffold-based DDSs. The study may serve as a source for outlining efficient and secure postoperative osteosarcoma treatment plans.

description: Despite a large number of nonlocal kinetic energy density functionals (KEDFs) available for large-scale calculations, most of those nonlocal KEDFs designed for the extended systems cannot be directly applied to isolated systems. In this manuscript, we proposed a generalized scheme to construct nonlocal KEDFs via the local density approximation kernels and construct a family of KEDFs for simulations of isolated systems within orbital-free density functional theory. The performance of KEDFs has been demonstrated by several clusters encompassing Mg, Si and GaAs. The results show that our constructed KEDFs can achieve high numerical accuracy and stability for random clusters, therefore, making orbital-free density functional theory accessible for practical simulations of isolated systems.

description: We demonstrate that decoherence of many-spin systems can drastically differ from decoherence of single-spin systems. The difference originates at the most basic level, being determined by parity of the central system, i.e. by whether the system comprises even or odd number of spin-1/2 entities. Therefore, it is very likely that similar distinction between the central spin systems of even and odd parity is important in many other situations. Our consideration clarifies the physical origin of the unusual two-step decoherence found previously in the two-spin systems.

Literary Historicism: Conquest and Revolution in the Works of Carlos Fuentes (1928-2012) and Alejo Carpentier (1904-1980)

description: This doctoral thesis analyses the depiction of the historical topics of Conquest and Revolution across the literary writings of Alejo Carpentier (1904-1980) and Carlos Fuentes (1928-2012). These historical tropes constitute core topics of reflection throughout their literary and critical works, stressing the interplay between literature and history. I propose the concept of literary historicism to analyse their portrayal of historical topics and characterise the role of history in their poetics. This concept denotes the historical awareness that underpins the authors’ literary reinterpretations of historical events; their use of a historicist writing methodology; and the critical relationship established to historiographical sources and narratives. I argue that the authors’ deliberate historicism characterises their narratives, challenges disciplinary boundaries and posits literature as an alternative medium for the production of historical interpretation. This comparative study focuses on a corpus of fifteen fictional works from both authors that depict Conquest and Revolution. The first section analyses the authors’ literary portrayal of the Conquest of Mexico (1521) and stresses the relationship established to the historical sources consulted and their literary reinterpretation of this historical event. An assessment of the reflections and symbolisms embodied by their literary-historical figures elucidates the authors’ understanding of the Conquest. Thus, this section demonstrates the defining character of these authors’ literary historicism in their writing methodology and semantic interpretation when addressing historical tropes. The second section explores Fuentes’s and Carpentier’s depiction of historical Revolutions including the French, Mexican, Haitian and Cuban Revolutions. This section comprises a transversal and diachronic analysis of their Revolution cycles to demonstrate recurrent narrative, thematic and stylistic patterns in Fuentes’s and Carpentier’s literary portrayals of this historical phenomenon. I highlight the further meaning that these patterns acquire in their works, articulating a critical assessment of these historical revolutions. This thesis adds to the scholarship on these authors from an interdisciplinary perspective that re-centres attention on History. Through the concept of Literary Historicism, I demonstrate the existence of a central concern in their oeuvres to critically reassess the Latin American past and its historical interpretations from literary discourse. This study contributes to the understanding of history and literature in Latin America, for it analyses the interactions between these branches of written culture.

description: Sub-wavelength confinement of mid-infrared light can be achieved exploiting the metal-like optical response of polar dielectric crystals in their Reststrahlen spectral region, where they support evanescent modes termed surface phonon polaritons. In the past few years the investigation of phonon polaritons localised in nanoresonators and layered heterostructures has enjoyed remarkable success, highlighting them as a promising platform for mid-infrared nanophotonic applications. Here we prove that the standard local dielectric description of phonon polaritons in nanometric objects fails due to the nonlocal nature of the phonon response and we develop the corresponding nonlocal theory. Application of our general theory to both dielectric nanospheres and thin films demonstrates that polar dielectrics exhibit a rich nonlocal phenomenology, qualitatively different from the one of plasmonic systems, due to the negative dispersion of phononic optical modes.
