QUALITY CHARACTERISTICS OF SPONGE CAKE AND BISCUIT PREPARED USING COMPOSITE FLOUR

This study was carried out to investigate the effect of partial substitution (10 and 15%) of wheat flour by sorghum or chickpea flour on quality parameters of sponge cake and biscuit. Chickpea flour contained the highest percentage of protein, lipids, ash and crude fiber. Water absorption was increased by replacement of wheat flour with sorghum or chickpea flour. From the obtained data, it could be seen that the deleterious effect of adding sorghum flour to wheat flour on the rheological properties was more pronounced than that happened when chickpea flour was added. Cake prepared with sorghum flour had less pronounced improvements in its chemical composition rather than those of chickpea. With regard to volume and specific volume, cake prepared with 10% chickpea flour with or without cake improver recorded the highest values. Cake prepared by chickpea flour had no any unfavorable sensory change especially for the cake produced by cake improver.  Crude protein, lipids, ash and crude fiber contents were increased progressively in all biscuit samples with increasing of either the sorghum or chickpea flour levels. Also, there were no significant differences (P>0.05) between the thickness and spread ratio of control biscuit compared to that of sorghum or chickpea- wheat composite flour.  It is worth mentioning that the substitution of wheat flour with chickpea flour gave biscuit more sensory acceptable

Transparency of reporting in molecular diagnostics

The major advances made over the past few years in molecular and cell biology are providing a progressively more detailed understanding of the molecular pathways that control normal processes and become dysregulated in disease. This has resulted in the documentation of numerous genetic, epigenetic, transcriptomic, proteomic and metabolomic biomarkers that promise earlier disease detection, more accurate patient stratification and better prognosis. Furthermore, molecular fingerprinting of diseases can be predictive of drug response and so assist with specific targeting of drugs against disease-associated molecules and function

Daughterly Narratives in Search of Voice: Fadwa Tuqan, Latifa al-Zayyat, and Samar Attar

A myriad of pressures and struggles affect Arab women as they are coming of age due to the familial and societal constructs they face. As daughters, they yearn for a voice amidst a plethora of generational boundaries, transmissions, and ideals. The intricacy of the psychological and interconnected structural factors is augmented by their gender in societies that are motivated, and often governed by, the implications of gender roles. While multiple layers of influence such as familial and sociocultural institutions affect how consciousness is formed, generational transmission, through the maternal figure, is paramount. Daughters, therefore, cannot narrate their personal stories without including the influence of the mother or the maternal figure. Mothers pass on the social definitions of their daughters’ expected role as a woman, which have paramount effects on the daughters’ development and process of individuation. Through close reading, this research aims to explore and analyze the tripartite structure that dominates their daughterly narratives. Firstly, it will explore the effects of mother-daughter relationships within the familial and socio-cultural context, which have a pronounced impact on the heroines’ journeys of subject formation. Secondly, it will analyze the interplay between the individual and the collective and its impact on the heroines’ motivations and subsequent courses of action. Finally, the research will study the heroines’ journeys as they go beyond the norm to break the generational cycles and carve out their own path to autonomy and liberation, essentially, their own voice

Il diabete e la spettroscopia funzionale: applicazioni e prospettive future

L'elaborato inizia introducendo i temi principali del progetto di ricerca: il diabete mellito (in particolar modo i tipi 1 e 2) e la spettroscopia funzionale nel vicino infrarosso (fNIRS). In particolar modo vengono esplorate la classificazione, l'epidemiologia e le complicanze del diabete mellito mentre della fNIRS i principi di funzionamento, gli attuali campi di applicazione e le prospettive future. Viene, inoltre, data una visione generale dei tentativi già fatti di utilizzo della fNIRS nel campo del diabete. Successivamente viene delineato il progetto di ricerca, nelle sue due fasi. Nella prima viene descritto il paradigma di ricerca utilizzato per lo studio della risposta emodinamica corteccia visiva in risposta ad uno stimolo in pazienti diabetici e controlli sani. La seconda fase del progetto, ancora in corso, si occupa invece della caratterizzazione dei correlati cognitivo-metabolici di una coorte di soggetti sani (non affetti da patologie croniche o acute note)
