As concerns about food safety and environmental issues gain more attention in the public eye, organic labels are growing in popularity, being presented as the solution for a more sustainable and conscious food system. Yet, organic certificates did not manage to actively change the food system but merely created a niche to be exploited, thus many of the environmental-friendly practices being co-opted by corporations without addressing the larger issues of concern. This paper looks at how small producers, who are ...

The quinoa is pseudocereal plant that has nutritional value. Recently, It was cultivated in iran because of water crisis. This study aimed to assess the physicochemical and antioxidant properties of quinoa cultivated in Iran for the first time. The macronutrients and energetic value, polyphenol, total phenol content and DPHH of quinoa were measured. Some B group vitamin, the free fatty acid profile was assessed by HPLC and GC-mass separately. The trace elements were also evaluated by ICP. The amounts of dry matter, ...

Das Software-Tool der Montageplanungsmethode MTQM wurde für eine aufwandsärmere Prognose der menschlichen Zuverlässigkeit von manuellen Montagetätigkeiten in der Serienfertigung entwickelt und soll in dieser Arbeit um eine Fehleranalyse in Form einer angepassten FMEA erweitert werden.

Diese Randauszählung wurde im Rahmen des Forschungsprojektes „Neue Eliten – etabliertes Personal? (Dis-)Kontinuitäten deutscher Ministerien in Systemtransformationen“ am Fachgebiet Public Management der Universität Kassel erstellt. Die hier präsentierten Tabellen und Abbildungen fassen die Ergebnisse deskriptiver Auswertungen der im Forschungsprojekt erhobenen Daten zur Politisch-Administrativen Elite in der BRD unter Bundeskanzler Kohl zusammen und veranschaulichen die Häufigkeitsverteilungen ausgewählter Variablen. ...

Women lag in the adoption of agricultural innovations compared to men, mainly due to gender inequalities in access to complementary inputs, capital, and knowledge/information. The Infection-and-Treatment-Method (ITM) is considered a safe and effective method of controlling East Coast fever. However, since its commercialisation in Kenya differences in demand for this vaccine among smallholder men and women dairy cattle keepers have not been assessed. Using a sample of 448 respondents, we used an Average-Treatment-Effect ...

This paper presents a 4 kW GaN-based galvanically isolated bidirectional DC/DC converter suitable for on-board auxiliary power supply systems, interconnecting the HV battery with the LV power system. To enable the trend towards higher levels of electrification, a second LV level of 48 V is introduced to supply the high-power consumers, relieving the 12 V grid on the one hand and/or avoiding using additional costly isolated converters connected to the HV batteries on the other. The built converter prototypes aim to ...

Magnetic devices are an important part of electronic converters. They can be used to control some properties of the converters. There are three different control methods using an auxiliary bias-winding. In the presented paper, the impact of the implementation of the auxiliary bias-winding was studied for mixed biasing. Seven different designs were investigated in small signal measurements and 3D-FEM-simulations. The results were proven by calculated results of equivalent diagram circuits, which have been developed. ...

This study adopts a postcolonial approach to scrutinise the policies and practices of heritage preservation in Taipei City, Taiwan. Postcolonial theory provides an analytical framework that destabilises the dominating discourses of urban development from a subaltern perspective. It interrogates how ordinary people have the capacity to appropriate urban spaces through the practices of everyday life, thereby claiming their rights to the living environment. In this sense, I argue that urban heritage is a social construction. ...

The objective of this study was to evaluate proximal chemical analysis, oil and fatty acids in escamol dehydrated and butter-fried that are commercially available in Mexico. In order to measure the escamol and oil quality, a chemical analysis were performed. The identification fatty acids was by refractive index. The proximal chemical analysis results in escamol fresh and deshydrated indicated that moisture (56.00-1.89 %), protein (15.30-34.78 %), lipids (20.05-45.57 %), ash (1.91-4.35 %) and carbohydrates (6.73-13.41 ...
