Microbial contaminants in food: a big issue for a working group of the MoniQA NoE project

Field: Immunology and Microbiology (Life Sciences)

Introduction The MoniQA Network of Excellence is an EC funded project working towards the harmonization of analytical methods for monitoring food quality and safety along the food supply chain. This paper summarises both the structure and tasks of the working group on microbial contaminants within the MoniQA NoE and specifically focuses on harmonisation strategies important in the microbiological analysis of food. Objectives There is a need for rapid microbiological methods in order to quickly and efficiently identify harmful pathogens in food sources. However, one of the major problems encountered with many new methods is their market acceptance, as they have to pass extensive validation/standardisation studies before they can be declared as official standard methods. Methods The working group on microbiological contaminants aims to contribute towards speeding up these prerequisites by collecting information on food law, quality assurance, quality control, sampling, economic impact, measurement uncertainty, validation protocols, official standard methods and alternative methods. Results The present report provides an overview of currently existing methodologies and regulations and addresses issues concerning harmonisation needs. One of the deliverables of the working group is the development of extended fact sheets and reviews based on relevant ‘hot’ topics and methods. The selection of food borne analytes for these fact sheets have been selected based on global, local and individual parameters. The working group has identified 5 groups of stakeholders (governmental bodies, standardisation/validation organisations, test kit/equipment manufacturers, food industry and consumers). Conclusion Current challenges of food microbiology are driven by new analytical methods, changes in the food market and altered consumer desires. The MoniQA NoE is contributing in overcoming these risks and challenges by providing a profound platform on microbiological rapid methods in food analysis to all stakeholders and it is expected that strong interaction within the network and beyond will foster harmonization.

Directing folding pathways for multi-component DNA origami nanostructures with complex topology

Field: Computer Science (Physical Sciences)

Molecular self-assembly has become a well-established technique to design complex nanostructures and hierarchical mesoscale assemblies. The typical approach is to design binding complementarity into nucleotide or amino acid sequences to achieve the desired final geometry. However, with an increasing interest in dynamic nanodevices, the need to design structures with motion has necessitated the development of multi-component structures. While this has been achieved through hierarchical assembly of similar structural units, here we focus on the assembly of topologically complex structures, specifically with concentric components, where post-folding assembly is not feasible. We exploit the ability to direct folding pathways to program the sequence of assembly and present a novel approach of designing the strand topology of intermediate folding states to program the topology of the final structure, in this case a DNA origami slider structure that functions much like a piston-cylinder assembly in an engine. The ability to program the sequence and control orientation and topology of multi-component DNA origami nanostructures provides a foundation for a new class of structures with internal and external moving parts and complex scaffold topology. Furthermore, this work provides critical insight to guide the design of intermediate states along a DNA origami folding pathway and to further understand the details of DNA origami self-assembly to more broadly control folding states and landscapes.
MACERATED WHITE WINE: MODIFICATION IN WINE PRODUCTION TECHNOLOGY PROVIDES WHITE WINE WITH VASODILATORY AND ANTIOXIDANT EFFECTS SIMILAR TO THE RED WINE

Field: Pharmacology, Toxicology and Pharmaceutics (Life Sciences)

Introduction Although it is known that prolonged maceration of wine is associated with increased total phenolics content, it is not investigated how it affects direct vasodilatory and antioxidant effects of white wines. The aim of this study was to analyze and compare the polyphenolic content, vasodilatory and antioxidant activity of white wines produced by standard (1 day ; control white wine, WWC) and prolonged (55 days ; WW55, 90 days ; WW90 and 217 days ; WW217) maceration. Furthermore, these wines were compared with the red wine (Teran, Kozlovic). Materials and methods All tested white wines were of the same cultivar, Grasevina, Krauthaker. Their total phenolics content was determined spectrophotmetrically. The vasodilatory activity of wines was determined in the isolated rat aortic rings (N=24 rats), exposed to 11 cumulative concentrations (1:10000 to 5:1000 final dilution) of tested wines. The antioxidant capacity was measured by Ferric Reducing Antioxidant Power (FRAP). Results Prolonged maceration of white wine significantly affected composition¸ vasodilatory and antioxidant properties. All three white wine samples produced by prolonged maceration showed strong vasodilatory and antioxidant effects that were 5-10 fold greater in comparison to the control white wine (maximal vasodilation (Emax) of 79, 5±3, 0%, 103, 3±5, 7%, 86, 4±2, 5%, and 13, 7±6, 1% ; antioxidant capacity of 5, 16±0, 09, 5, 81±0, 07, 9, 74±0, 08, 1, 03±0, 01 mmol TE/L for WW55, WW90, WW217 and WWC, respectively). The vasodilatory and antioxidant effects of the macerated white wines were comparable to the red wine (Emax=83, 3±7, 1% ; FRAP=10, 71±0, 05 mmol TE/L) Conclusion Prolonged maceration of white wine improves its biological properties in vitro, which are similar to those of red wine.

Association of heat shock protein A2 expression and sperm quality after N‐acetyl‐cysteine supplementation in astheno‐terato‐zoospermic infertile men

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

In infertile men, reduced expression of heat shock protein A2 (HSPA2) is related to reduced sperm quality and function. The present study has aimed to investigate the effects of N-acetyl-cysteine (NAC) supplementation on expression of heat shock protein A2 (HSPA2). In this study in continuation of previous study, semen samples from 50 astheno-terato-zoospermic men who have received NAC (600 mg/day) orally for three months were evaluated for expression HSPA2 using RT-PCR, and Western blot analysis. In addition, semen samples of these individuals were assessed for sperm parameters, DNA fragmentation (TUNEL), protamine deficiency (CMA3), lipid peroxidation index (MDA) and total antioxidant capacity (TCA). All assessment was carried out before and after NAC treatment. In addition to improved sperm parameters and aforementioned functional parameters, the presented results revealed the significant increase in relative expression levels of HSPA2 was obtained after using NAC treatment (p < .05). Correlation analysis also demonstrated that HSPA2 expression is significantly related to most of the assessed parameters. NAC may directly or indecently impose its beneficial effect through increased expression of HSPA2, which plays a potential role in proper folding of element needed to counteract stress condition in infertile individuals.

Embedding Trauma Literacy Into Curriculum: An Examination of the Attitudes of Australian and New Zealand Journalism Educators

Field: Social Sciences (Social Sciences)

Australia and New Zealand have reputations as countries prone to catastrophic and frequent natural and man-made disasters. Therefore, it is no surprise that antipodean academics want trauma-informed education for their journalism students. This study presents the Australian-New Zealand results of a 2021 survey exploring educators’ attitudes toward embedding trauma literacy into journalism curriculum. It mirrors a survey from the UK-based Journalism Education and Trauma Research Group. The Australian-New Zealand results confirm that educators want more training to effectively embed trauma-informed reporting into their curricula. The discussion notes the availability of local, research-based teaching materials, and identifies barriers to implementation.
Risk perception in subjects at-risk for Familial Amyloidotic Polyneuropathy: Percepción del riesgo en sujetos con riesgo de Polineuropatía Amiloide Familiar

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

The aims of this study are to know if subjects at-risk were aware of their 50% risk for Familial Amyloidotic Polyneuropathy (FAP); to know the value of the subjective risk; to understand the association between sociodemographic characteristics and risk perception, and between the risk status and the subjective perception of risk. 174 subjects 50% atrisk for FAP were tested. 52.9% subjects at-risk were aware of their 50% risk condition. The mean value of the subjective risk was higher and closer to 50% when the subjects were aware of their 50% risk condition. Education was associated to a higher awareness of being at 50% risk. It seems that information on previous knowledge before performing the genetic counselling increases the subjective risk.
Role of ROS-activated ERK1/2 pathway in chemical hypoxia-induced injury in PC12 cells

Field: Biochemistry, Genetics and Molecular Biology (Life Sciences)

Aim To explore the role of extracellular signal-regulated kinase 1/2(ERK1/2) in the chemical hypoxia-induced injury in PC12 cells.Methods PC12 cells were treated with cobalt chloride(CoCl2),a well-known chemical hypoxia mimetic agent,to establish a chemical hypoxia-induced cellular injury model.Cell viability was detected by cell counter kit(CCK-8).Apoptotic cells were analysed by Flow cytometry(FCM).Mitochondrial membrane potential(MMP) was examined by rhodamine 123(RH123) staining and photoflutograph.The expression levels of caspase-3,ERK1/2 and p38 mitogen-activated protein kinase(MAPK) were tested by Western blot assay.Results Exposure of PC12 cells to 600 μmol·L-1 CoCl2 for 60 min markedly enhanced the expression of phosphorylated(p)ERK1/2.Pretreatment of PC12 cells with 500 μmol·L-1N-acetyl-L-cystein(NAC),a reactive oxygen species(ROS) scavenger,for 1h before exposure to CoCl2 inhibited the upregulation of p-ERK1/2 expression induced by CoCl2 treatment.Pretreatment of PC12 cells with 10 μmol·L-1U0126(an inhibitor of ERK1/2) for 2h prior to exposure to 600 μmol·L-1CoCl2 protected against the CoCl2-induced injuries,leading to decreases in the number of apoptotic cells,expression of cleaved caspase-3 as well as MMP loss.Pretreatment with 10 μmol·L-1U0126 also attenuated the CoCl2-induced upregulation of p-p38MAPK expression.Furthermore,preteatment with 20 μmol·L-1 SB203580,an inhibitor of p38MAPK,blocked the CoCl2-induced upregulation of p-ERK1/2 expression.Conclusions ROS-activated ERK1/2 pathway mediates the CoCl2-induced injury and there is a synergetic interaction between ERK1/2 pathway and p38MAPK in CoCl2 treated PC12 cells.
Yield potential of linseed genotypes influenced by nutrient levels under rainfed condition in Vidarbha region

Field: Agricultural and Biological Sciences (Life Sciences)

All India coordinated Research Project on linseed conducted a field experiment on Agriculture Farm, College of Agriculture, Nagpur under Dr. PDKV, Akola, Maharashtra during Rabi Season of 2019-20 in Factorial Randomized Block Design with three replication. Three genotypes NL – 356, JLS-95, T-397 were tested with three nutrient levels i.e. 50 % RDF, 100% RDF and 150 % RDF. The result revealed yield potential of the entry NL-356 was 26% highest over JLS-95 and 13% more on T-397 under rainfed condition. However, the increase in nutrient level from 50 % RDF to 150 % RDF influence the growth and yield attributes which favours the increase in yield. Therefore, it is concluded that genotype NL 356 with 100 % RDF achieve higher growth rate i.e. plant height, number of branches as well as yield attributes number of capsules per plant, number of seed per capsule and highest NMR and B:C ratio.

Gravity-model specification for tourism flows: The case of Albania

Field: Economics, Econometrics and Finance (Social Sciences)

The tourism sector plays a crucial role in economic growth of developing countries. Tourism increases business and employment opportunities and contributes to the development of local infrastructure. The preservation of cultural heritage and the promotion of peace between nations are other benefits of this sector. The main objective of this study is the investigation of the main demand and supply factors of international tourist arrivals to Albania, given the important role of the tourism sector on the national economy. A gravity-type equation is estimated through three different estimation techniques, controlling for basic and experimental independent variables. The basic assumption of the gravity model states that bilateral flows depend on some factors related to the origin and destination countries and other factors that approximate the bilateral distance. The analysis is based on an annual dataset of international tourist arrivals to Albania from 22 origin countries over the period 2001-2018. Empirical results show a satisfactory explanatory power of the considered equations.
Analysing digital journalism: Vol. 3, n. 2 Media analysis

Field: Social Sciences (Social Sciences)

The communication paradigm has changed a lot over the years, especially dur-ing the last two decades. Media industry has been forced to adapt to rapid move-ments in which the appearance of the Internet and social media has provoked movements and mutations referring to different aspects of the press industry: ways of working, business and financial models, manners of communication with their audiences. Also, how to publicize news and adapt them according to actuality, making characteristics like immediacy, hypertextuality or multimedi-ality essentials for online websites and media, as well as transparency or objec-tivity that impacts also in the traditional newspapers. We examine and analyze two online media that correspond to different countries. On one hand, it dis-cusses Relevo, a new sports digital-born media from Spain and an American weekly magazine dedicated to sports, Sports Illustrated. The transformation of new communication practices has affected business concentration and profes-sional practices of media. As a consequence, we want to compare both media in order to see how they are different, what measures they take in order to make their journalist proposals and objectives and investigate to which extent their media structure limits or affects them in the production of news.
Bilingualism and Syntactic Change in Konkani

Field: Arts and Humanities (Social Sciences)

The syntax of the relative clause in the Saraswat Brahmin dialect of Konkani, an Indo-Aryan language, has been virtually Dravidianized because of the impact of the Dravidian Kannada language, operating through bilingual speakers. Konkani has two versions of the relative clause-a native Indo-Aryan type, and a borrowed Kannada type; the latter is gaining predominance at the cost of the former, which has come under various kinds of constraints. The mechanism of this syntactic change is examined here. The peculiar features of the Konkani-Kannada bilingual situation are described, and an attempt is made to provide an explanatory account of the syntactic change in Konkani. This paper examines the effects of bilingualism on the syntax of the relative clause in a certain dialect of Konkani, an Indo-Aryan (IA) language, whose speakers have also been fluent speakers of the Dravidian language Kannada for the last 400 years or more. The syntax of the relative clause in this particular dialect of Konkani is interesting in many respects: it provides a very clear instance of structural borrowing at the level of syntax under the impact of bilingualism; the borrowing itself, while it affects the relative clause in the language so profoundly as to virtually 'Dravidianize' it, is yet in some sense 'motiveless'; finally, an uncommonly clear view is provided on certain aspects of the change mechanism itself. 1. Like all languages of the Indian subcontinent, Konkani has many dialects distinguishable along geographical, social, and communal axes.1 But some of these dialects have not come under the impact of Kannada, e.g. those spoken in the erstwhile Portuguese colony Goa, as well as those spoken in the Konkan districts of the present State of Maharashtra. In this paper, however, I am concerned with a dialect which has come under Kannada influence, viz. the Konkani of Saraswat

The advent of digital systems for the production and transmission of information decisively influences human progress and represents the future in any field of social life. In order to survive, organizations must correlate the objectives to the new trend of the society based on information, deeply marked by globalization. In recent years new computational paradigm were proposed and adopted. These include Cloud computing. Together with the stabilization of technologies related to Cloud computing, SQL databases have become more attractive due to native support for scalability and distributed architecture and the fact that many of these can be offered as services. The paper presents a few important aspects about cloud computing and proposed a new database designed to be implemented in cloud.Â We offer a new model and an example of implementing in Romanian medicine[1].Â [1] This is an extended paper of the article presented at The 15th International Conference on Informatics in Economy, Cluj-Napoca, 2016.
Reliable Collaboration Chain Mining for Workshop Manufacturing Services Based on Non-Local Graph Convolutional Networks

Field: Computer Science (Physical Sciences)

In order to extract reliable collaboration patterns from the historical data of workshop manufacturing services, the improved graph convolutional network (GCN) method is proposed, and the non-local feature aggregation strategy is introduced to improve algorithm stability. According to the collaboration mechanism of manufacturing service and the actual manufacturing process, the historical manufacturing service collaboration chain is constructed as graph data, where the nodes are manufacturing services, and the edges are service collaborations. GCN is then employed to process the graph of manufacturing service collaboration chains systematically and efficiently, considering the manufacturing service attribute, service collaboration attribute, and collaboration chain topology are considered. Reliability is quantified as the ability to produce sufficient qualified products within a specified time as the label. Experiments with the data of a printed circuit board (PCB) manufacturing enterprise verify the validity and feasibility of the proposed method. The proposed method is stable and has high precision.
