Comparative study of white LED light and dark condition in domestic refrigerator on reducing postharvest strawberries waste
(2022-05-30)
Strawberry is one of the most consumed fruits in the world, and due to its perishability, there is a need for new conservation technologies capable of extending its shelf life. An alternative in preservation of short shelf life foods is refrigeration associated with LED lights. In this context, the present study evaluated the effect of white LED light in strawberry preservation at the postharvest condition. Strawberry samples were stored in a perforated package under refrigeration (5 °C), in the presence and the ...

(2022)
Die Grundzüge des theologischen Lebensbegriffes bei Johann Arndt.
Mit der vorliegenden Dissertation wird der Versuch unternommen, die theologischen Grundzüge des Lebensbegriffes bei Johann Arndt zu entfalten. Anhand meiner Textanalyse der „Vier Büchern vom wahren Christentum“ wird ersichtlich, dass Arndt dem Lebensbegriff eine hohe Bedeutung beimisst und diesen als Verbindungsglied mehrerer dogmatischer Topoi verwendet. So wird der lebendige Gott mit der Schöpfungslehre in Verbindung gebracht.

Peasants, Protests and Litigation: Struggles over land and institutions in Colombia
(2022)
The past decade has observed a resurgence of peasant politics in Colombia. After the most intense period of armed conflict-related violence against the rural population (1985 – 2006), and amid the enforcement of the land restitution policy and the peace negotiation between the Colombian Government and the former FARC-EP guerrilla movement, the country observed a revival of social mobilization from the countryside. While the motives of this new cycle of peasant mobilization varied at different levels – from local to ...

Profitability analysis of smallholder aquaculture farms: the case of Lagos State, Nigeria
(2022-04-06)
Nigeria is the largest (total) fish consumer in Africa and among the highest consumers in the world. The domestic fish production is short of the consumption demand despite the vast potentials in the fishery sector. Harnessing these potentials rightly will help to increase employment and increase food fish production and availability. It is clear given the importance of aquaculture in fish production that efforts must be made to encourage entrepreneurs to go into the business. Many have cast doubts on the profitability ...

This study examined and discussed the perceptions and safety level of using pesticides by applying a widely used index of 39 indicators equivalent to 39 safety measures grouped into four categories to assess the ...

The effect of transglutaminase on physicochemical, microstructural, and organoleptic properties of low fat karish cheese
(2022-04-15)
Karish cheese is considered to be one of the most traditional Egyptian cheeses. It is manufactured from low-fat milk. It can be a key part of a healthy diet, especially for the elderly and those suffering from obesity-related illnesses. Low-fat cheese such as karish cheese has the problem of crumbly texture characteristics, which is the main problem for cheesemakers. This research aimed to improve the texture of karish cheese using transglutaminase (TGase), and to study the effects on cheese physical, microstructural, ...

Technical efficiency of paddy farming in West Java: a combination of synthetic and organic fertilisers versus conventional farming
(2022-02-08)
In developing countries, agriculture’s burden is not just ensuring enough food for the people but also securing net income for the farmers to alleviate poverty and to conserve the environment at the same time. Consumption shift towards staples, particularly during economic crisis or pandemic, requires a policy that could make food growers respond to the demand appropriately. Initially, from soil science, an argument asserts that mixing organic and synthetic fertilisers can increase yield/productivity and be safe for ...
