Effect of enzyme inactivation on the extracted soybean meal and oil

Field: Agricultural and Biological Sciences (Life Sciences)

Abstract The objective was prevention of lipoxygenase activity prior to oil extraction in order to obtain a meal of superior flavor quality and a crude oil of superior oxidative stability. Accordingly, experiments were performed in which soybeans were heated at various moisture contents and times to inactivate the enzyme system. Once the optimal conditions were determined, heat treated and raw beans were extracted in a laboratory system designed to simulate conditions in commercial solvent extraction and the component oil and meal were evaluated. Oxidative stability of the oil from heat‐treated beans was increased as determined by the Swift stability test and an organoleptic evaluation. Similarly, organoleptic blandness ratings of the heat‐treated meal were also superior to the meal produced from raw beans. It was concluded that steam heat treatment of soybeans prior to extraction was beneficial to quality of both oil and flake.

Computing network-based features from physiological time series: Application to sepsis detection

Field: Computer Science (Physical Sciences)

Sepsis is a systemic deleterious host response to infection. It is a major healthcare problem that affects millions of patients every year in the intensive care units (ICUs) worldwide. Despite the fact that ICU patients are heavily instrumented with physiological sensors, early sepsis detection remains challenging, perhaps because clinicians identify sepsis by using static scores derived from bed-side measurements individually, i.e., without systematically accounting for potential interactions between these signals and their dynamics. In this study, we apply network-based data analysis to take into account interactions between bed-side physiological time series (PTS) data collected in ICU patients, and we investigate features to distinguish between sepsis and non-sepsis conditions. We treated each PTS source as a node on a graph and we retrieved the graph connectivity matrix over time by tracking the correlation between each pair of sources' signals over consecutive time windows. Then, for each connectivity matrix, we computed the eigenvalue decomposition. We found that, even though raw PTS measurements may have indistinguishable distributions in non-sepsis and early sepsis states, the median /I of the eigenvalues computed from the same data is statistically different (p <; 0.001) in the two states and the evolution of /I may reflect the disease progression. Although preliminary, these findings suggest that network-based features computed from continuous PTS data may be useful for early sepsis detection.
Performance Test Smoked Tool Fish Which Effective, Hygienic, and Eco-Friendly

Field: Engineering (Physical Sciences)

Objective: This research determines the results of the Smoked tool fish which effective, hygienic, and eco-friendly performance test carried out by organoleptic observation of the level of liking (favorite test). Method: This research uses an experimental method by making and testing a smoking device. The data obtained was analyzed descriptively. This research was divided into two stages of activities, namely: making smoking equipment and testing the performance of the equipment. Results and Discussion: Test results show that the temperature and humidity in the smoking room tend to differ between each shelf, forming almost the same pattern. The closed design of the tool causes the production and distribution of smoke to be more even. The remaining fuel produced during 3 hours of combustion reaches 50% and can still be used for another 5-6 hours. The water content of smoked fish (Tongko Fish) according to SNI is 60%. The average organoleptic test is above 3 (like) and the volume of liquid smoke is 50 ml during the 3 hour smoking process. Research Implications: The research results show that the Smoked tool fish which effective, hygienic, and eco-friendly can increase the production of smoked fish and reduce environmental pollution from the smoke produced. This shows that smoked fish products using Smoked tool fish which effective, hygienic, and eco-friendly have water content according to the standards determined by SNI. Originality/Value: This research contributes to the understanding of the "Smoked tool fish which effective, hygienic, and eco-friendly", which is an innovative technology that has better smoking performance compared to traditional fish smoking tools used in Tuban Regency.
Investigation of Sarcocystis spp. in slaughtered cattle and sheep by peptic digestion and histological examination in Sulaimani Province, Iraq

Field: Veterinary (Health Sciences)

Background and Aim: Sarcocystosis is a zoonotic infection caused by various species of Sarcocystis organisms with a worldwide geographic distribution. This study investigated the presence of Sarcocystis organisms in cattle and sheep slaughtered at an abattoir in Sulaimani Province in North Iraq. Materials and Methods: A total of 130 muscle samples were collected during May, June, and July of 2020, including 80 samples from sheep and 50 samples from cattle. Samples were examined visually for macrosarcocysts. The peptic digestion method was used to analyze fresh muscle tissue samples for detecting microsarcocysts followed by microscopic examination. Furthermore, muscle samples were fixed and stained with hematoxylin and eosin for histopathological examination. Results: In the gross examination, macroscopic cysts were not detected in both cattle and sheep; hence, all the prevalence data were obtained through microscopic observation of muscle samples. The peptic digestion method revealed the presence of banana-shaped bradyzoites in 90% and 92.5% of slaughtered cattle and sheep muscle samples, respectively. Organ-wise prevalence revealed that 95% and 92% of esophageal samples of sheep and cattle contained Sarcocystis spp., respectively. Moreover, 90% and 88% of sheep and cattle diaphragms were respectively infected. Histopathological examination of tissue sections revealed two morphologically distinct types of microsarcocysts, including thin-walled and thick-walled, in both sheep and cattle. Conclusion: The suspected Sarcocystis spp. were Sarcocystis tenella and Sarcocystis arieticanis in sheep and Sarcocystis cruzi and Sarcocystis bovifelis or Sarcocystis hominis in cattle. Infective stages of different Sarcocystis spp. are widespread in the study area environment.
Grandma in the greenbelt : how the natural disposal of our dead could save Ontario's green space

Field: Environmental Science (Physical Sciences)

Cemetery grounds and sustainable land use practice are rarely used in conjunction however natural burial grounds present opportunities to leverage the land use and environmental challenges associated with conventional cemeteries for the benefit of people and the environment. This paper explores land use planning challenges facing Ontario in planning for the disposal of our dead and the emergence of natural burial grounds as a sustainable alternative to conventional burial. This paper also explores how planning challenges related to planning for the disposal of our dead could be leveraged to produce positive outcomes; in particular the strengthening of Ontario's Greenbelt as a living landscape. This paper argues the Natural burial has potential to be a value added land resource and can mitigate a series of burial related land use challenges currently present in Ontario.
THE SEMANTIC ASPECT OF FOOD AS PUNISHMENT AND COMFORT IN THE WORKS BY L. CARROLL, CH. DICKENS AND P. TRAVER

Field: Arts and Humanities (Social Sciences)

The article deals with the semantic aspect of food functioning as punishment/reward and lovelessness/comfort in the English literature of the XIX and early XX centuries in the works by L. Carrol, Ch. Dickens and P. Travers. The research investigates the food motif as a means to reflect eating traditions of a particular historic period and a social marker for the protagonists. The author explores how the writers use eating habits to express acceptance, resistance, emotional affection, taboo behaviour, power and celebration traditions. It is suggested that food imagery is positively related to cultural identity which includes various issues from social position to gender issues. It is shown that the presentation of food in literature can mirror the writers’ own preferences allowing them to tap on their personal experience in the works, thus giving “food” for bibliographers. Recent literary culinary studies have stimulated the development of gastronomic tours on the pages of the renowned writers, the so-called food trails, and theme fests such as the Great Dickens Christmas Fair and Victorian Holiday Party or Whitby’s White Rabbit Trail as part of niche gastronomic tourism in Great Britain. So, the present interdisciplinary research may be of great interest not only for philologists but also for students specializing in tourism and country studies and the general public.
Cranial and dental remains of Deinotherium bozasi (Mammalia: Proboscidea) from East Rudolf, Kenya

Field: Earth and Planetary Sciences (Physical Sciences)

A skull, three immature mandibles and a number of isolated teeth belonging to Deinotherium bozasi have been collected from Plio‐Pleistocene sediments to the east of Lake Rudolf, Kenya. D. bozasi is the youngest representative of the family Deinotheriidae and the skull is the most complete yet found of this taxon. The East Rudolf specimens are contrasted with comparable specimens of Prodeinotherium hobleyi from East and North Africa and of Deinotherium giganteum from Europe. The size and morphology of the cranial vault of the East Rudolf skull confirms allocation to the genus Deinotherium but other dental and cranial evidence confirms taxonomic differentiation from D. giganteum and direct descent from P. hobleyi. Although the postcranial elements of D. bozasi are poorly known it is considered unlikely that this species developed the cursorial adaptations of D. giganteum. The extinction of D. bozasi is attributable to major changes in ecologic conditions towards the end of the early Pleistocene.
A prospective observational study on the utility of smartphone-based Ureteral Stent Tracker (UST) application in preventing cases of forgotten ureteral double-J stents

Field: Health Professions (Health Sciences)

Background: The use of ureteral stents is an integral part of daily urological practice. These need to be removed after a specified time limit. Unfortunately, some of the DJ stents are forgotten and hence retained. This is where the usefulness of smartphone-based Ureteral Stent Tracker (UST) application comes into play. In this study, we have aimed to evaluate the efficacy and usefulness of smartphone-based UST application and compare the results with basic appointment card system to prevent forgotten ureteral stents (FUS).Patients and Methods: It is a prospective observational study including a total of 118 patients. They were divided into two groups. Those in group A, were recorded to UST application and those in group B, were provided with only the printed advice to remove their ureteral stent. The two groups were compared in terms of overdue days and lost to follow-up rates.Results: Groups A and B were comparable with no statistically significant differences among the groups regarding age, educational level and laterality of the ureteral stent. The mean overdue days were 4.25 ± 3.627 and 11.49 ± 6.273 in group A and B respectively.Conclusions: In our study, we checked the dashboard of the ST application every day to look for overdue days. Patients followed up with the stent tracker application had significantly less overdue days compared to those who were not. So, UST can be an important addition to daily urological practice to minimise the incidence of retained ureteral stents.

Experimental models in peritoneal dialysis (Review)

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

Peritoneal dialysis (PD) is one of the most commonly used dialysis methods and plays an important role in maintaining the quality of life of patients with end-stage renal disease. However, long-term PD treatment is associated with adverse effects on the structure and function of peritoneal tissue, which may lead to peritoneal ultrafiltration failure, resulting in dialysis failure and eventually PD withdrawal. In order to prevent the occurrence of these effects, the important issues that need to be tackled are improvement of ultrafiltration, protection of peritoneal function and extension of dialysis time. In basic PD research, a reasonable experimental model is key to the smooth progress of experiments. A good PD model should not only simulate the process of human PD as accurately as possible, but also help researchers to understand the evolution process and pathogenesis of various complications related to PD treatment. To better promote the clinical application of PD technology, the present review will summarize and evaluate the in vivo PD experimental models available, thus providing a reference for relevant PD research.
Co-Morbidity and Other Complexities Affecting Black Women's Health

Field: Health Professions (Health Sciences)

This paper presents some of the major health concerns that affect black women, and examines how various individual health problems co-exist and coincide to create complex health concerns for women. It posits the idea that to effectively address a Black woman's health, her mental, emotional, social, economic and even spiritual health must be considered as well as her physical condition. The paper focuses largely on the information from individual health-related research presentations at “The Invisible Woman” conference held at Bennett College in March 18–19, 2011 in Greensboro, North Carolina. At this event, scholars presented new research on HIV, obesity and mental health—three areas of critical concern for African-American women—examining ways in which these conditions affect Black women. The paper also addresses the role of health care access and policy in addressing these and other health concerns among women and within the black community. The review of the literature highlights the importance of examining health—perhaps especially Black women's health—from social, cultural, behavioral, environmental and economic perspectives. It also points out the continued need for research that includes women and people of color.
Roman Waterscapes, Architecture, and Religion

Field: Arts and Humanities (Social Sciences)

Ancient Roman waterscapes can be defined as "culturally meaningful, sensorially active places, in which humans interact with water and each other" (Ray 2020, 19). As such, when examining religious contexts throughout the Roman world that employ water, there is an inherent sacrality of those waters—thus hydrolatry, which the Romans themselves recognized. Indeed, in numerous examples, the sacred nature of water is highlighted by architecture and the surrounding built environment, along with the sensory experience of those spaces. Further, there is the element of connectivity, because across time and the geographical expanse of the empire, Romans were tied culturally to the built environment of water, as meaning was tied to these spaces in the ways that water was highlighted and used through religious acts (especially through rituals related to water). In order to understand the complexities of the relationship between architecture and the sacred nature of water, this chapter examines a few contexts in Roman Greece that illustrate the breadth of the religious use of water by the Romans, whether as focal points or tangential usage, including: spaces in which Roman water structures were added to a pre-existing cult site, which allowed the Romans to graft new meanings within the space (e.g., the Nymphaeum of Herodes Atticus at Olympia, Greece); source sanctuaries that celebrated the divine beings that supplied the waters gushing forth, which acted akin to a hierophany (e.g., the Larissa Nymphaeum at Argos, Greece). While only two case studies from Roman Greece are employed here, these examples are indicative of wider trends throughout the Roman Empire. This chapter, thus, demonstrates that, while natural waters were indeed sacred in the Roman world, the built environment also had the power to harness this sacrality in the artificial material form.
Giant Plunging Ranula Presenting As an Emergency: A Case Report

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

Abstract Plunging ranulas are pseudocysts which originate from major salivary glands and present as neck swellings with possible life-threatening complications. We present an unusual case of a plunging ranula which presented as an emergency. The patient presented at our clinic with a 4-year history of an asymptomatic recurrent neck swelling which we diagnosed as a ranula. She was clinically stable and we planned for elective surgery in five days. However, three days after clinic review, she presented at the emergency room on account of dyspnoea and dysphagia. She was hospitalized and the surgery was carried out as an emergency, life-saving procedure. This case highlights the importance of anticipating life-threatening complications in seemingly clinically stable cases of plunging ranulas.
Transitional Cell Carcinoma of the Prostate in Cystoprostatectomy Specimens Removed for Bladder Cancer

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

Specimens from 84 radical cystectomies for bladder carcinoma performed between January 1984 and July 1986 were reviewed to characterize the involvement of the prostate with transitional cell carcinoma. Whole-mount sectioning of the prostate was performed at 4 mm. intervals and processed in the same manner as radical prostatectomy specimens. A total of 36 patients (43 per cent) had transitional cell carcinoma of the prostate: 94 per cent of these had prostatic urethra involvement and 6 per cent had a normal prostatic urethra but transitional cell carcinoma was present in the periurethral structures. In situ prostatic duct or acini, ejaculatory duct and seminal vesicle involvement occurred, respectively, in 67, 8 and 17 per cent of the patients with prostatic involvement. Of the patients with prostatic involvement 39 per cent had stromal invasion (22 per cent focal and 17 per cent diffuse invasion). The incidence of carcinoma in situ of the bladder neck or trigone (59 per cent), previous intravesical chemotherapy (59 per cent) and ureteral carcinoma (79 per cent) was significantly increased in patients with prostatic involvement. In patients with carcinoma in situ of the trigone or bladder neck, or in whom previous intravesical chemotherapy treatments have failed prostatic involvement should be suspected so that this disease can be detected before stromal invasion occurs.
