Future of Cultured Meat Production: Hopes and Hurdles
(2022-08-31)
Rising environmental issues, animal welfare concerns and vulnerable food supply chain especially during pandemics, as COVID-19 demands an effective and long-term solution for food security in future. All of these challenges encourage the researchers to find more reliable and clean ways of food production such as cultured meat. This process involved the production of animal meat in lab using large bioreactors without raising animals. Cultured meat production is widely accepted among animal rights activists and it can ...

Investigation of drying behavior and color development of beef slices for development of non-invasive monitoring approaches
(2021)
Meat drying has a long tradition worldwide and technically dried meat is increasingly valued as a low-fat snack or high-protein food product. Convection drying is widely used in industrial food preservation and has to provide high process efficiency and high product qualities, which can be contradictory. Therefore, it is important to understand the changes that occur in the product in order to develop drying strategies that consider process and product efficiency each at an acceptable level. The objective of this ...

Understanding beef cattle production practices and associated factors constraining performance: A survey of smallholder farmers in South Africa
(2022-05-01)
Farm practices of beef cattle smallholders in South Africa are characterized by poor management practices with limited advisory services. This study aimed to assess current beef cattle farming practices and limiting factors for improved beef production in South African smallholder farmers. A questionnaire was administered to 460 individual smallholder farmers purposively selected from seven provinces of South Africa (SA). The questionnaire captured information on demographics and farm profiles, constraints on ...

Fintech, Philanthropy, and Development: Is KYC the core problem or solution for Digital Inclusion?
(2022-04)
This paper explores the relationship between digital identity data and fintech, showing that security, and not just financialisation, is the appropriate lens to examine technologies for financial access. These technologies are supported by the nexus of finance, development, and philanthropy, ostensibly to facilitate welfare policies. But they are also part of a global security imperative. This is because the need for digital identity databases emerges from regulations to counter terror finance. Examples from India ...

An Exploration on Factors Influencing Certified and Farm-Saved Seed Use: A Case Study in Turkish Wheat Farming
(2020-11-29)
Seeds are an important input for wheat-growing, as is the case for all crop production. The type and quality of seed in crop production are the first condition for productivity and accordingly certified wheat seed use is being encouraged by the government since 2005 in Turkey. This study examined the factors affecting the certified seed and farmer (farm)-saved seed use in wheat farming in Turkey. The result of the analyses showed that there is a significant difference between farmers using certified seed and farm-saved ...

The Connection Between Resilience and Academic Success in High School and Higher Education
(2020)
The aim of this publication is to investigate the connection between resilience and academic success in high schools and higher education institutions. The resilience concept is used as a seven-part framework developed by the author from the literature, which can be applied to describe how individuals overcome risks and adversities despite the odds being stacked against them. Research on academic resilience has not provided a comprehensive overview on resilience processes at advanced education levels as yet, a ...

Entwicklung einer Robotik-Lösung zur Schneckenbekämpfung in der Landwirtschaft
(2020)
Schnecken sind bedeutende Schädlinge in der Landwirtschaft. Die Ausbringung von Schneckenkorn zur Schneckenbekämpfung als Verfahren nach dem Stand der Technik hat jedoch erhebliche Nachteile. Der Erfolg ist abhängig von der vorherrschenden Witterung und damit unsicher, zudem schadet es auch Nützlingen. Eine Robotik-Lösung zu Schneckenbekämpfung arbeitet wetterunabhängig und ist in der Lage, zwischen Schädlingen und Nützlingen zu unterscheiden.
Durch einen Feldversuch konnte gezeigt werden, dass Überfahrten eines ...

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, ...
