Engaging stakeholders in traditional food products through dissemination of knowledge and innovation based in digital platforms
(2020-11-29)
The agrofood sector has a great sectorial and business dispersion, constituting, in parallel, a relevant space of the European and national economy. In addition to the economic and social impact, the growth of the sector is also an opportunity for the development of rural areas and agriculture, particularly in view of Europe's shortages in food raw materials. The need for continuous improvement, and market developments of this sector, require that innovation processes occur. This process has been facilitated by the ...

Das ‚effiziente Museum‘ im Widerstand gegen die ‚Diktatur der Wand‘
(2020-05-12)
Der vorliegende Beitrag geht von der Annahme aus, dass es sich bei der innovativen Ausstellungspraxis der Nachkriegszeit um eine ‚zweite Museumsreform‘ handelt, einen theoretischen Neuansatz, der die gegenüber der Vorkriegszeit abweichende Ausstellungspraxis der Epoche erst verständlich werden lässt. Zur Überprüfung dieser These liegt der folgenden Studie eine systematische Erfassung von museumstheoretischen Stellungnahmen in den Kulturzeitschriften der Nachkriegszeit in mehreren westeuropäischen Ländern zugrunde, ...

Nachhaltige Emissionsreduzierung durch erneuerbare Eigenstromversorgung
(2020-04)
Ein vielversprechender Weg der Emissionsreduktion durch Industrieunternehmen ist, selbst in erneuerbare Energieanlagen zu investieren. Die wirtschaftliche Beurteilung dieses Schrittes erfordert eine detaillierte Betrachtung der gesetzlichen Regelungen. Da es für viele Strompreisbestandteile umfangreiche Ausnahmeregelungen gibt, können die Stromkosten je nach Standort und Unternehmen variieren, sodass eine exakte Bestimmung individuell erfolgen muss.

Optimization of cassava dried noodle using hydrocolloid and protein isolates: a tropical noodle
(2020-11-29)
Cassava flour has the potential to be used as a substituent of flour in making dry noodles. This study aims to obtain the optimum formulation of flour, hydrocolloid content and protein isolate content. Formula optimization of cassava noodle has been done by using two types of cassava flour: native and pre-gelatinization, adding additional food additives such as hydrocolloid (xanthan gum and konjac glucomannan) and pea protein isolate. The design of the formulation and optimization is done by D-optimal combined design ...

On the Trail of Creativity: Dimensionality of Divergent Thinking and its Relation with Cognitive Abilities, Personality, and Insight
(2020-12-02)
Divergent thinking (DT) is an important constituent of creativity that captures aspects of fluency and originality. The literature lacks multivariate studies that report relationships between DT and its aspects with relevant covariates, such as cognitive abilities, personality traits (e.g. openness), and insight. In two multivariate studies (N = 152 and N = 298), we evaluate competing measurement models for a variety of DT tests and examine the relationship between DT and established cognitive abilities, personality ...

Awareness creation of smallholder farmers on and adoption of push-pull technology reduces fall armyworm (Spodoptera frugiperda) infestation on maize in Hawzien Woreda, Northern Ethiopia
(2020-11-28)
Recently, maize (Zea mays L.) production by smallholder farmers in Ethiopia has been threatened by an exotic pest called fall armyworm (FAW) (Spodoptera frugiperda J.E. Smith; Lepidoptera, Noctuidae). Devising or adopting sustainable, effective, affordable and smallholder farmers-friendly management strategies for the control of this pest are, therefore, vital. Push-Pull Technology (PPT) is considered one of the management methods for the control of FAW in East Africa. Therefore, the aim of this study is to determine ...

Evaluation of antioxidant activity of the phenolic composition of Syrian Arbutus andrachne L.
(2020-10-18)
Arbutus andrachne L. (Grecian Strawberry tree) is widespread in the Mediterranean and the Black Sea Regions. This study aimed at determining total phenolic content and antioxidant activity of Arbutus andrachne parts (flowers, leaves, bark and fruit) collected from different parts of the Latakia Province (Syria). Our work is the first to conduct this experiment on the selected plants in Syria.
The fresh samples were extracted using ethanol 50% as an extraction solution, then the total contents of the phenolic compounds ...

Food traceability system awareness and agricultural operation: A Study of tea farms in Fujian, China
(2020-10-18)
China is establishing a Food Traceability System (FTS), but the policy implementation is behind most developed countries. The lack of FTS awareness may be a factor contributing to farming practices that are not consistent with FTS policies. Furthermore, the structure of an agri-food supply chain is a factor influencing farms’ compliance with FTS. The present study focuses on pesticide residue control and traceability issues in one of the largest tea production areas in China. It aims to examine the effect of FTS ...

Farmers’ Supply Response and Perception of Rice Procurement Program in Bangladesh
(2020-10-18)
Rice farmers in Bangladesh do not get proper returns due to lower market prices and many unexpected situations that may affect the supply of rice production. To protect the farmers, the government introduced the rice procurement program. This study tried to analyse the supply response to rice production and assess the farmers’ perception of government procurement program including their financial risk of rice production. Vector autoregressive (VAR) model was employed to analyse the supply response of rice using ...
