Abstract:

The IMPACT Festival is an event dedicated to theatre that centralizes marginalized voices to address social issues, and in the process, works to constitute a vibrant intercultural community. At once a festival, a conference, and an opportunity for artists, scholars, and other cultural commentators—from international to local—to meet and engage with one another, IMPACT has happened biannually in Kitchener, Ontario since 2009. Yet despite its award-winning status among scholars and artists, the IMPACT Festival has struggled to be embraced by either the City of Kitchener or the citizens of the Region of Waterloo. Beginning with interviews with local theatre creators, and drawing on the intercultural analysis of Ric Knowles and Bruno Latour, among others, this article is an attempt to understand why the IMPACT Festival has encountered obstacles to sustainable success in its home town.

Abstract:

The Gage Street site in Kitchener, Ontario, is a peat/marl sequence representing continuous lacustrine sedimentation from the time of deglaciation (ca. 13,000 yr B.P.) through 6900 yr B.P. Insect, pollen, and plant macrofossil remains isolated from the sediments indicate that from ca. 13,000 to 12,500 yr B.P. the region was characterized by parkland-tundra vegetation existing within thermal conditions more analogous to those today of the midboreal forest. The transition from parkland to coniferous forest at ca. 12,500 yr B.P. occurred within a climate that was only gradually warming. By the time of the spruce/pine transition at 10,500 yr B.P., an insect fauna had become established that is typical of southwestern Ontario today. The replacement of this fauna at ca. 8400 yr B.P. by one characteristic of the lowlands of the east-central United States represents the beginning of Hypsithermal conditions in southern Ontario. Vegetation and insects indicate that the climate continued to gradually warm through the mid-Holocene.

Abstract:

The pollution of agricultural soils, water and plants by trace elements (TEs) in the Nile Delta Region, Egypt, is of great importance. This study aimed to investigate the spatial and seasonal variation of some TEs in the agricultural area adjacent to Kitchener Drain and to evaluate the ecological risk posed by these elements using six indices. Soil and plant samples were collected from seven sites close to the drain, while water samples were collected from the corresponding sites inside the drain during three seasons (winter, spring and fall). The results showed that all studied TEs in the soil varied seasonally and spatially among the locations around the drain. Most of the studied elements in the soil were higher in the southern and middle area around the drain. All studied elements in the soil were also higher in the winter than other seasons. Nickel and lead were almost non-detected during all seasons in plant tissues, while other elements were higher in the winter than other seasons. In contrast to the soil and plant tissues, water samples demonstrated lower or non-detected levels of TEs. The results also indicated that the values for the risk assessment indices differed among the studied TEs. Therefore, there is a risk of increasing the concentration of some metals in the study area due to anthropogenic pollution from the adjacent polluted drain through irrigation with contaminated water and spreading of contaminated dredged materials on agricultural fields.

Abstract:

This research was carried out to learn the opinions of workers in the hotel kitchens of Cappadocia region on kitchen hygiene situations. In the scope of the research, 234 kitchen staff from Cappadocia region were surveyed and 28 hotel kitchens were evaluated. Statistical Package for Social Sciences 22 was used to evaluate the obtained data and to prepare tables. The data obtained from the scale used to measure the level of knowledge of kitchen staff are presented as mean and standard deviation. For the presentation of categorical variables, frequency and percentage values are used. The hotel kitchens operating in the Cappadocia region were evaluated according to the hygiene evaluation form consisting of six different sections and hygiene levels were expressed as a percentage of 1,000 points. The result shows that it is absolutely necessary for hotels to apply the HACCP programme and to increase the supervision in the production areas. Keywords: Hotel, hygiene, sanitation, food security.

Abstract:

Vertebrate cells synthesize two forms of the 82- to 90-kilodalton heat shock protein that are encoded by distinct gene families. In HeLa cells, both proteins (hsp89 alpha and hsp89 beta) are abundant under normal growth conditions and are synthesized at increased rates in response to heat stress. Only the larger form, hsp89 alpha, is induced by the adenovirus E1A gene product (M. C. Simon, K. Kitchener, H. T. Kao, E. Hickey, L. Weber, R. Voellmy, N. Heintz, and J. R. Nevins, Mol. Cell. Biol. 7:2884-2890, 1987). We have isolated a human hsp89 alpha gene that shows complete sequence identity with heat- and E1A-inducible cDNA used as a hybridization probe. The 5'-flanking region contained overlapping and inverted consensus heat shock control elements that can confer heat-inducible expression on a beta-globin reporter gene. The gene contained 10 intervening sequences. The first intron was located adjacent to the translation start codon, an arrangement also found in the Drosophila hsp82 gene. The spliced mRNA sequence contained a single open reading frame encoding an 84,564-dalton polypeptide showing high homology with the hsp82 to hsp90 proteins of other organisms. The deduced hsp89 alpha protein sequence differed from the human hsp89 beta sequence reported elsewhere (N. F. Rebbe, J. Ware, R. M. Bertina, P. Modrich, and D. W. Stafford (Gene 53:235-245, 1987) in at least 99 out of the 732 amino acids. Transcription of the hsp89 alpha gene was induced by serum during normal cell growth, but expression did not appear to be restricted to a particular stage of the cell cycle. hsp89 alpha mRNA was considerably more stable than the mRNA encoding hsp70, which can account for the higher constitutive rate of hsp89 synthesis in unstressed cells.

Abstract:

To evaluate the impact of the Calgary Health Region Collective Kitchen Program on various Population Health Promotion Model health determinants, data were collected through mail-in questionnaires that examined the members’ (n=331) and coordinators’ (n=58) perspectives of the program. Seventy-nine members (24%) and 26 coordinators (45%) were included in the study. Three incomplete questionnaires (from prenatal program members) were discarded. Sixty-one percent of members who reported income level and family size (n=61) had incomes below the low-income cut-off. Fifty-eight members (73%) reported improvements in their lives because of the program. Sixty-four members (81%) perceived they learned to feed their families healthier foods. The members reported their fruit and vegetable consumption before and since joining a collective kitchen, and the proportion of those consuming at least five fruit and vegetable servings a day rose from 29% to 47%. The most common reasons for joining this program concerned social interactions and support. Over 90% of the coordinators perceived that they were competent to coordinate a kitchen. The results indicate that the collective kitchens program addresses several health determinants, and may increase members’ capacity to attain food security and to achieve improved nutritional health.

Full text

Abstract:

Evaluation of Early Cretaceous source rocks within the onshore Victoria Otway Basin has revealed that thick, mature shales containing predominantly gas-prone and in local concentrations, oil-prone macerals exist northwest of Portland, in the Tyrendarra Embayment, and around the Port Campbell region.Current results of Rock-Eval, bulk composition, gas chromatography, and biomarker analyses, coupled with geohistory and hydrocarbon generation interpretations, indicate that at least three phases of oil generation and expulsion occurred within the basin. The earliest phase, which coincided with the maximum heatflow in the crust around 100 Ma, resulted in the charging of the existing stratigraphic/shoestring traps of the basin. The second and third phases occurred in the eastern end of the basin at around 85 and 60 Ma. There is also evidence to suggest that structural traps of the eastern areas were formed later, during Oligocene time, and that these traps are probably still receiving late-stage charges of hydrocarbons.Although the sparse well density in the basin has resulted in limited, non-uniforin sampling opportunities, several regions with good Early Cretaceous source rocks can be recognised. Some of these good source rock areas are in close proximity to the several known hydrocarbon shows and producing fields. These current studies, which also include a source rock risk analysis indicating source rock adequacy, show that locations for future exploration could include the Casterton-Portland-Mt Gambier western region, the Peterborough-Port Campbell eastern region, and the prospective close peripheries and offshore extensions of these regions.

Abstract:

When I returned to San Quintín, México during the spring-breaks of 1996-1997, ten years after my initial work in the region, I visited the Indigenous barrio of the Nueva Región Triqui (New Triqui Region). This is a village with 2000 Oaxacan Triqui Indians distributed into 300 households. During the two weeks I stayed in this village, I observed that it does not remarkably differ from most Oaxacan Indian towns. Every house possesses a garden in which corn, beans, pumpkins, and healing herbs are grown. In some cases these houses have both the temascal (traditional steambath) and the reed constructed kitchens outside, while inside they have an adobe fireplace and a waist-loom for weaving traditional cloth. Furthermore, life in the Nueva Región Triqui seems to go by like in any other Indian village of Oaxaca. On my first walk through this community, I witnessed three events celebrated in the most typical ways of the Oaxacan Indians from the Mixtec region: a quinceañera, a collective baptism, and a funeral. The next day, I met a group of musicians who played the typical Oaxacan chilenas, and witnessed a cleansing practiced by a curandera. So, after those visits I could have concluded that the Nueva Región Triqui is just another typical Oaxacan Indian town. However, in actuality this village is located in San Quintín, Baja California, about 1,800 miles from Oaxaca.

Abstract:

Abstract Between 1963 and 2005 hardwood lumber production in the eastern United States increased by more than 50%. Production more than doubled in the northeastern and north central regions while increasing by less than 25% in the southeastern and south central regions. Increased lumber production in the northern regions was facilitated by an expanding sawtimber inventory, relative high volumes of select oak species and hard maple, an expanding kitchen cabinet industry, increased exports, and increased lumber demand by the pallet industry. Hardwood lumber production in the south central region was correlated with hardwood flooring production. When flooring production declined between 1963 and 1982, south central lumber production declined. After 1982 flooring production increased and hardwood lumber production in the south central region followed. By contrast, lumber production in the southeastern region has been tied to the fortunes of the wood and upholstered furniture industries. As furniture imports increased, the demand for lumber by these industries first stagnated and then declined. As a result, lumber production in this region declined between 1982 and 2005. Today, much of the commodity product portions of hardwood-demanding industries are facing international competition. By contrast, a driver of growth in hardwood lumber demand seems to be smaller manufacturers producing custom and semicustom products. These new industries tend to purchase higher-quality lumber but can use a variety of species. Therefore, states or regions with high volumes of timber and a broad composition of species have the greatest potential for future growth in hardwood lumber production.

Abstract:

The present paper is based on a study that was performed to assess the kitchen waste management through barrel composting system in order to produce organic fertilizer, and to investigate the physicochemical properties (pH and moisture content) including nutrient contents (OC, N, P, K and S) and heavy metal concentration (Pb, Cd and Cr) of the produced organic fertilizer during the period from July 2016 to June 2017 in the urban area of Tangail region. Kitchen wastes were collected twice in a week for 6 months from 2 halls of Mawlana Bhashani Science and Technology University (MBSTU) and 2 wards of Tangail municipality and divided into 2 phases. About 5.8 kg organic fertilizer was produced from 178.52 kg kitchen waste, which was highly enriched with nutrients. The pH of the composts was increased and moisture contents (67 to 71% in 1st phase and 36 to 44% in 2nd phase) were decreased with duration and waste dried up period. Finally, moisture content ranged from 23 to 31%. The produced organic fertilizer contained organic carbon (24.42 to 27.68%), total nitrogen (2.035 to 2.533%), C/N ratio (10.07 to 12), phosphorus (0.735 to 0.872%), potassium (2.83 to 3.89%) and sulphur (0.578 to 0.68%). The Pb concentration exceeded in green barrel, whereas it was negligible in black barrel. The Cd and Cr concentrations in both types of barrels were within permissible level.

Abstract:

The accuracy of object detection based on kitchen appliance scene images can suffer severely from external disturbances such as various levels of specular reflection, uneven lighting, and spurious lighting, as well as internal scene-related disturbances such as invalid edges and pattern information unrelated to the object of interest. The present study addresses these unique challenges by proposing an object detection method based on improved faster R-CNN algorithm. The improved method can identify object regions scattered in various areas of complex appliance scenes quickly and automatically. In this paper, we put forward a feature enhancement framework, named deeper region proposal network (D-RPN). In D-RPN, a feature enhancement module is designed to more effectively extract feature information of an object on kitchen appliance scene. Then, we reconstruct a U-shaped network structure using a series of feature enhancement modules. We have evaluated the proposed D-RPN on the dataset we created. It includes all kinds of kitchen appliance control panels captured in nature scene by image collector. In our experiments, the best-performing object detection method obtained a mean average precision mAP value of 89.84% in the testing dataset. The test results show that the proposed improved algorithm achieves higher detecting accuracy than state-of-the-art object detection methods. Finally, our proposed detection method can further be used in text recognition.

Abstract:

As an important emission reduction source for the transportation industry, biofuel has received strong support from the Chinese government. However, the development of the biofuel industry is still struggling. The high degree of uncertainty makes the development of the industry face huge challenges. Kitchen waste, as a biodiesel raw material with a large yield, has good development prospects. Reuse of kitchen waste can solve public health and safety problems. This paper proposes a two-stage stochastic programming model under supply disturbance to optimize the supply chain from the perspective of contract. Then current three main flow directions of kitchen waste are analysed and the reasonable price for biodiesel operators to purchase is determined. By signing contracts with the biodiesel operators, restaurant is guaranteed and encouraged to provide a certain percentage of kitchen waste to meet the demand for biodiesel production. Using actual case in the Yangtze River Delta region, the performance of the stochastic programming model under disturbance was compared. Through the sensitivity analysis of different parameters, this paper determines the influence of its supply chain network design and expected total system cost. Through the optimization of the waste cooking oil (WCO) for biodiesel supply chain, this paper can effectively improve the efficiency of the supply chain, reduce system costs, increase the profits of biofuel operators, and promote the sustainable development of the biofuel industry.

The studied ceramics does not ﬁnd analogies in the complexes of the developed Central Asian states. It probably could have been formed on the territory of the Eastern Priaralye and was associated with the migrations of nomadic and semi-nomadic tribes. The fact of the discovery of coarse hand-made ceramics in the settlement Murzaly conﬁrms the assumption that it could have been the wintering ground of medieval nomads of the 10th-11th centuries.

Abstract:

A present study was carried out in villages of Shivpuri and Datia of Gwalior region of Madhya Pradesh from rural women to study the scenario in terms of cleanliness and hygiene and its associated aspects at the rural households prevailing in the rural areas. The study indicated that on an average (59%) of the rural women never carried food along with them to their work place in their morning which gave a long break for food intake. The rural women (69%) possessed kachcha houses followed by semi pakka (26.5%) houses. Most of the rural women (89%) done their cooking by Normal chulha which worked on firewood in the sampled villages in both the districts and almost none rural households found modern type of kitchen appliances in their houses like Mixer and grinder, Microwave. The rural women was witnessed both closed and open type of kitchen (48% and 52%) in the sampled villages in the region. The almost 88% and 89% rural women kept maintained cleanliness inside their houses, but having no proper ventilation(100% and 93%), disposal of water(92% and 78% ), disposal of garbage(88% and 72%), as well as cleanliness outside house surrounding(95% and 83%) in the sampled villages of Shivpuri and Datia district respectively. The water scarcity has been a major problem in these two districts. The hand pumps (63%) found the main source of drinking water in the region followed by well (37%) and 39% rural women brought drinking water from 101-200 meters distance followed by 37% from more than 200 meters only 24% rural women could arrange drinking water for their household consumption from nearby places.

Abstract:

The concept of a greywater-fed bioretention system in arid regions was investigated in this study. Bioretention systems are conventionally used as a source control mechanism for urban runoff. Nevertheless, in arid regions, where rain and urban runoff are not an abundant water resource, their application is limited. Greywater (residential wastewater without toilet and kitchen sources) is comparatively less polluted and has the potential for reuse in irrigation and non-potable water uses. However, selection of an appropriate treatment is a challenge. A prototype bioretention system was made and its ability to improve greywater quality was monitored for more than 10 consecutive days. A vegetative and non-vegetative system were monitored separately. After 24 hours of retention in both systems, greywater quality was improved significantly. Both systems performed almost equally well; however, the vegetative system (with canary reed grass, Phalaris arundinacea) was found to be more effective in reducing the sodium and chemical oxygen demand contents. The study revealed that the concept of the greywater-fed bioretention system has the potential to add multi-functional benefits (greywater treatment, water conservation, landscape aesthetic and biodiversity) to the arid regions’ urban environment.

Abstract:

Taiwan has a sound solid waste recycling system, and waste-to-energy is attractive under the encouragement policy and economic feasibility, especially in central and southern regions with vast agricultural wastes. The four scenarios evaluated in this study relating to current use or under consideration for kitchen waste treatment strategy in Taiwan were incineration, landfill, composting, and anaerobic digestion. These scenarios were compared through life cycle assessment to obtain the most preferable treatment solution. The analysis was based on a functional unit, i.e., 1 metric ton of kitchen waste treated, and considered all impact categories through the CML_IA baseline 2000 method. It has shown that energy recovery had enormous effects on all scenarios with the anaerobic digestion having the highest environmental performance change. A comparison between actual electricity consumption and estimated electricity generation by kitchen waste treatment through anaerobic digestion indicates that decentralized electricity generation was suitable for central Taiwan and could be considered as the energy solution in a short-term context. This study provides an experience in selecting a proper waste-to-energy method with the most negligible environmental impact.

Abstract:

Proverbs are an identity marker for the language users in one region. The uniqueness and cultural diversity can be seen from the interpretation of the proverb. Therefore, this study aims to examine women's identity in the domestic domain in Sundanese proverbs. This research involves semiotic and cultural analysis. The stages of analysis are divided into 3 coding, classification, and analysis. This research is formulated to answer two issues; 1) signs found in Sundanese proverbs including symbols, indices and icons in representing the role of women in the domestic sphere in Sundanese society, and 2) interpretations of signs associated with cultural concepts. Based on the analysis the results are 1) women’s sign in Sundanese proverbs are related to kitchen, bed, and cosmetic, 2) Those three signs for women construct women’s position in domestics sphere. Women are binded to be in the kitchen and has no power on their own body.

Abstract:

Facial lacerations are a common presentation in emergency departments. It is important to appreciate the mechanism of injury and the anatomy of structures involved in penetrating lacerations in the maxillofacial region. A 65-year-old man suffered an accidental penetrating injury with a sharp kitchen knife to the right temporal region. There was a single laceration to the right temporal region. The right eye had no perception to light, a total afferent and efferent pupillary defect and partial ophthalmoplegia. Computerised tomography scan revealed signs of penetration through the skin, temporalis, postero-lateral orbital wall and orbital apex. There was no injury to the globe or either retrobulbar or intracranial haemorrhage. A diagnosis of direct traumatic optic neuropathy was made following consultation with opthalmology and neurosurgery teams. Only two similar cases of penetrating trauma in the temporal region resulting in direct traumatic optic neuropathy have been identified in the literature. This case presentation highlights the structures that are at risk of damage from penetrating trauma in the maxillofacial region.

Abstract:

Abstract Nearly 25% of the eastern sawtimber inventories are of species classified as red oak. Over the last 20 yr, red oak has become the most commonly used hardwood in the production of furniture, kitchen cabinets, and millwork. However, differences in subspecies and growing conditions produce variations in color and texture of red oak lumber produced from timber grown in Northern, Appalachian, and Southern regions. In the late 1980s, users of hardwood lumber began to pay higher prices for red oak lumber from the Northern hardwood region. By 1995, grade 1 Common Northern red oak was selling at prices nearly 40% higher than for similar Southern red oak. This paper examines Northern, Appalachian, and Southern green and air-dried prices for three major grades of red oak lumber, and relates these changes to regional differences in the red oak resource and growing conditions and changes in the industries that use red oak lumber. The results of this analysis should be useful in evaluating the profitability of precommercial thinning and other short-term management practices used to increase the value of red oak sawtimber.

Abstract:

Bio-methanation system was mature and has been widely utilized in South China, while hard to apply in the north. This paper aims to learn about the current situation of biogas utilization in North China, and develop the integrative biological reactor (IBR) which could make anaerobic fermentation well utilized in North China. Information was obtained via on-the-spot investigation and questionnaire survey (300 sent out, 247 effective). Through comparative analyses of the conditions, conclusions were made as follows: device’s disfunction, high cost, lack of understanding and short of materials were the main cause of the low biogas penetration rate. Experiments were made and corresponding solutions were obtained. The IBR was the integration of continuous stirred tank reactor (CSTR) and up-flow anaerobic sludge bed (UASB) reactor. Obtained from the test, when kitchen waste was used as substrate, the most suitable Volume Load Rate (VLR) for methane production was 6~8 kgCOD/(m3•d), the highest gas production rate was about 1.5~2.4L/d. And for the hydrogen production, the maximum of hydrogen production reached at 6L/d when the VLR stabilized at 15~20kgCOD/(m3d).

Abstract:

The archaeological studies developed two concepts concerning the character of Tagar economy: semi-nomadic and sedentary. They are based on different approaches to burial assemblage materials, accidental findings, and general opinion on stock-raising economy in Eurasian forest-steppes and steppes. The zooarchaeological profile of Tagar settlements can resolve this argument. A high share of horse bones may mean a semi-nomadic or nomadic lifestyle, while low share of equine remains can be a sign of a sedentary economy. The research featured Tagar settlements in the forest-steppe areas of the interfluve area between the Kiya and the Chulym. The paper describes the zooarchaeological collection of the archeological site of Kоsоgol I, the largest Early Iron Age settlement in the area. The collection includes 6,634 samples, of which 687 belong to horses. The authors believe that cattle breeding was the main branch of the Tagar economy. Horses were the third most important group. However, horses were not meat animals, as bones of young horses were quite rare among the kitchen waste. The Tagars killed mature or old work horses (older than 12–13), which could not work anymore. Hunting was a secondary branch of their economy: they hunted does, as well as water and moor fowl near the settlement. The results of Kosogol I zooarchaeological assemblage study proved the theory about the sedentary cattle breeding of the early Tagar people.

Abstract:

AbstractHydrolytic enzyme production by thermophilic bacteria isolated from hot springs in the southern region of Saudi Arabia was investigated. The physical and chemical properties of the hot springs prove to be an important environment for hydrolytic-enzyme-producing thermophilic bacteria. Eighty-four bacterial isolates were obtained from three hot springs: Al-Majardah, Al-Khubah and Al-Ardah. Screening of the isolates for enzyme production indicated that 78 isolates showed activity for one or more enzymes. Molecular identification and phylogenic analysis of selected promising isolates confirmed the identity of the isolates asBacillus aerius, Bacillus licheniformisandBacillus sonorensis, which have potential to produce the target enzymes α-amylase, protease and lipase, respectively. Optimization of hydrolytic enzyme production by bacterial strains was investigated using kitchen waste as a cheap carbon energy source. Maximum enzyme production was achieved after 72 hours of incubation at the beginning of the stationary phase of growth. Enzyme production was dependent on the initial pH value in the range of pH 7.5-8.5 and an optimal incubation temperature of between 55-60°C. Enzyme production increased gradually in proportion to the kitchen waste concentration; whereas maximum lipase production was gained at 5.0% (w/v) kitchen waste, 7.0% (w/v) of waste was optimal for both α-amylase and protease productivity. The results indicated that hot springs in Saudi Arabia are a substantial source of thermophilic bacteria producing industrially important enzymes using cheap and unexploited waste.

Abstract:

Indoor radon concentration for annual, rainy and dry season have been studied in 228 buildings which includes bedroom, kitchen, sitting room, laboratories and offices in Accra metropolis of Greater Accra of Ghana. The passive radon CR-39 SSNTD was used for this study. The cumulative frequency distribution, normalizing Q-Q plots, Kolmogorov-Smirnov and Shapiro-Wilk statistical test showed that the result of both workplaces and dwellings are not normally distributed. The strong positive correlation between the two seasons occurred at 95% confidence level with 2 tailed. The rainy season recorded highest coefficient variation of r2 = 0.982. Statistical analysis of median (39.3), AM (103.4), GM (57.9) and GSD (3.2) for rainy season were greater than that of the dry season of median (26.9), AM (88.2), GM (49.2) and GSD (2.8) respectively. Rainy season was found to contain high radon concentrations than the dry season for all the studied locations. In general, workplace had radon concentration far greater than dwellings. The results obtained from this study ranged between 13.6 to 533.7 Bq/m3, out of which 9.6%, 12.7% and 3.5% were found to be greater than action levels proposed by WHO, EC and ICRP.

Abstract:

This article uses data from India’s National Sample Survey (NSS), relating to respondents’ health outcomes between January and June 2014, to quantify a particular form of gender inequality: inequality in self-rated health (SRH) outcomes between men and women aged 60 years and above. In so doing, it makes five contributions to the existing literature. The first is in terms of analytical technique; this study contains a more detailed and nuanced exposition of the regression results than in previous studies. Second, it controls for environmental factors—like poor drainage, lack of toilets or ventilation in the kitchen—which might have adverse impact on health and, in particular, affect the health of women more than that of men. Third, it takes an account of interaction effects by which the effect of a variable on an elderly person’s SRH differed according to whether the person was male or female. Lastly, it examines whether SRH is correlated with objective health outcomes. In particular, this study answers two central questions: Did men and women, considered collectively, have significantly different likelihoods of ‘poor’ SRH between the different regions/income classes/social groups/education levels? Did men and women, considered separately, have significantly different likelihoods of a ‘poor’ SRH within a region/income class/social group/education level?

Abstract:

The Cavia porcellus L. systems implemented by small producers in Colombia have been slow to apply the processes of development and incorporation of feeding practices and technology in nutritional support. The objective of this study was to determine the feeding practices and technology in nutritional support implemented and projected in the C. porcellus L. systems by the producers. Four components were evaluated in 404 C. porcellus L. units and 29 focus groups: demography, identification of the production unit, implemented feeding practices, technology in nutrition and feeding, and the C. porcellus L. producers' perspectives. A Pearson Chi-squared test, a Tukey’s T-test, and a Multiple Linear Regression were used to evaluate the differences between regions using SPSS software version 20. The average area of C. porcellus L. -producing units corresponded to 0.35 ha (Nariño) and 0.17 ha (Putumayo). The predominant food base was forage (67%) produced on the farm (83%). There were significant differences between regions, with a p < 0.05 in food base, forage cultivation area, forage conservation feeding practices, type of fertilization, and the group of animals supplemented. The use of technology such as feed based on kitchen waste and supplements was used by producers in the Putumayo region (p > 0.05) most frequently. Our data show that C. porcellus L. systems in the study area not only have a high potential in the diversity of the forage supplements that makes up the diets but also in the development and implementation of feeding practices and technology in nutrition and animal feeding.

Abstract:

ABSTRACT In the United States and Europe, food poisoning due to Clostridium perfringens type A is predominantly caused by C. perfringens isolates carrying a chromosomal enterotoxin gene (cpe). Neither the reservoir for these isolates nor the point in the food chain where these bacteria contaminate foods is currently understood. Therefore, the current study investigated whether type A isolates carrying a chromosomal cpe gene are present in two potential reservoirs, i.e., soil and home kitchen surfaces. No C. perfringens isolates were recovered from home kitchen surfaces, but most surveyed soil samples contained C. perfringens. The recovered soil isolates were predominantly type A, but some type C, D, and E soil isolates were also identified. All cpe-positive isolates recovered from soil were genotyped as type A, with their cpe genes on cpe plasmids rather than the chromosome. However, two cpe-positive soil isolates did not carry a classical cpe plasmid. Both of those atypical cpe-positive soil isolates were sporulation capable yet failed to produce C. perfringens enterotoxin, possibly because of differences in their upstream promoter regions. Collectively these results suggest that neither soil nor home kitchen surfaces represent major reservoirs for type A isolates with chromosomal cpe that cause food poisoning, although soil does appear to be a reservoir for cpe-positive isolates causing non-food-borne gastrointestinal diseases.

Abstract:

This study examines the role cultural capital plays in students’ culinary training. I argue students’ class-dependent cultural capital influenced how they experienced culinary school. I examine how the organization and the standards of culinary school—which draw on aspects of high culture—create barriers for some students. I discuss how students with omnivorous tastes are better equipped to navigate the cultural capital dominant in culinary schools. Prior understanding of omnivorous tastes helps students, as they learn about the culinary field, but given the unequal distribution of the students’ economic capital, not all of the students had equal access to developing such wide range of tastes. This study spans 15 months of ethnographic observations at a culinary arts school in an urban Midwestern city, where I observed students’ interactions in kitchen classrooms and culinary competitions. In-depth interviews were conducted with 50 students and 10 chef instructors. The findings indicate that some students’ class backgrounds limit their opportunities for informal learning and socialization. I found that socioeconomic status, race, and geographical region influenced the students’ cultural capital and their ability to participate in kitchen culture.

I discuss the shared characteristics of such shows and explain how this kitchen-centred neoconservatism emanates from a culture of national anxiety, as well as the parallel shifts to traditionalism incited by foodie culture, post-feminism and neo-liberalism. I contend that the ways in which home cooking is presented on these shows may work to conflate the pleasures of food with the pleasures of gendered and racial neoconservatism in the United States.

SummaryIn the Terai region, despite its ecological richness, the people have long suffered from a deficiency of micronutrients such as vitamin A, iron and zinc. The aim of this study was to investigate dietary and nutritional intakes among people in the Terai region of Nepal. The results were compared by sex and ethnicity. Food consumption surveys (one-day weighed records) were conducted among 114 people (55Musharand 59Tharu). Nutritional intakes were calculated using Nepali food composition and other tables. The diet in the Terai region was characterized by a large amount of rice consumed with a tiny amount of curry ordalas a side dish. Intakes of vitamin A, iron, riboflavin and selenium were less than 50% of the recommended daily allowance irrespective of ethnicity or sex (with the exception of iron intake amongTharumales). Intakes of thiamine, riboflavin, niacin, phosphorus and zinc were higher among theTharuthan theMushar, while intakes of selenium and iodine were higher among theMusharthan theTharu. The nutritional significance of these differences was slight. Protein intake (per kg body weight) was lower in females than in males, while the energy-adjusted micronutrient intakes did not differ by sex. Intakes of vitamin A, iron, riboflavin and selenium were deficient among the participants. Intervention projects such as the introduction of kitchen gardens or fish farming may be effective, but will increase the degree of inequality between the two ethnic groups.

Abstract The underlying genetic mechanisms affecting turkey growth traits have not been widely investigated. Over the last few years, genome-wide association studies (GWAS) became the de facto approach to identify candidate regions associated with complex phenotypes and diseases in livestock. In the present study, we performed GWAS to identify regions associated with growth traits, feed intake and walking ability in a breeding turkey line. This was followed by studying the functional evidence that may support the impact of those regions on the economic traits in turkeys. A total of 31,950 phenotypic records for body weight, feed intake and walking ability with genomic (56,393 SNP) data were provided by Hybrid Turkeys, Kitchener, Canada. The analysis was carried out using a mixed linear model with hatch-week-year and sex fitted as fixed effects and the accumulated effect of all markers captured by the genomic relationship matrix fitted as random polygenic effects. Significant markers were observed on several chromosomes across the turkey genome. For example, COL8A1 and RBPMS2 genes were identified on chromosome 1 and 12, respectively, and associated with body weight. Furthermore, a gene-set enrichment analysis was performed for each trait. These functional and positional analyses uncovered a number of gene ontology functional terms, Reactome pathways and Medical Subject Headings that showed significant enrichment of genes associated with the studied traits. Many of the observed gene ontology functional terms (e.g., skeletal muscle tissue growth, regulation of digestive system process, and adult walking behavior) are known to be related to body growth, feed intake and walking ability. The results of this study revealed novel candidate genomic regions and candidate genes that could be managed within a turkey breeding program.
