Entwicklung eines Konzeptes für die Integration von elektronischen Zeitschriften in das Dienstleistungsangebot der Fachinformation der Dornier GmbH Friedrichshafen

Das Internet und neue Technologien haben die Publikationslandschaft und den Informationsbereich erheblich verändert. Elektronische Zeitschriften sind aus dem Alltag nicht mehr wegzudenken und stellen Verlage, Zeitschriftenagenturen wie auch Bibliotheken und ihre Mitarbeiter vor neue Herausforderungen. Der Stellenwert dieses Mediums steigt stetig in den Bibliotheken und bei ihren Nutzern. Gleichzeitig steigt auch die Zahl der kommerziellen und kostenlosen Angebote von elektronischen Zeitschriften im Internet. Die Fachinformation der Dornier GmbH mit dem Standort Friedrichshafen möchte sich dieser Publikationsform bedienen und plant diese in ihr bisheriges Dienstleistungsangebot aufzunehmen und den Bibliotheksnutzern zur Verfügung zu stellen. Durch die Erstellung eines Konzeptes für die Integration der elektronischen Zeitschriften, soll die Fachinformation befähigt werden, umfassende Maßnahmen für den Geschäftsgang und die Bereitstellung der elektronischen Zeitschriften zu ergreifen und ihre Kunden über die neue Dienstleistung zu informieren. Hierzu werden Vorschläge für die Gestaltung dieser Aufgabenbereiche gegeben

Results of an Organic Market and Stakeholder Survey about methods in processing of organic food

Code of Practice for Organic Food Processing (ProOrg) Financial support for this project was provided by the transnational funding bodies, being partners of the H2020 ERA-NET project, CORE Organic Cofund & the Cofund from the European Commission, in the scope of the 2017 Core Organic Cofund call. In Switzerland, the project received financial support by the FOAG (Federal Office of Agriculture), which covered all activities of the project partner FiBL. CORE Organic is the acronym for "Coordination of European Transnational Research in Organic Food and Farming Systems". As an ERA-NET action, it intends to increase cooperation between national research activities. CORE Organic Cofund is the continuation of the ERA-Nets CORE Organic I, II and Plus. The CORE Organic Cofund consortium consists of 25 partners from 19 countries

Results of an Organic Market and Stakeholder Survey about methods in processing of organic food

The report provides a contribution to the development of the Code of Practice for food processors from a market actors and other stakeholders perspective about the acceptance of relevant methods in organic food processing. For that purpose an Organic Market and Stakeholder Survey (OMSS) was conducted as part of the "ProOrg" project in spring 2021. It covered, among others, the importance of quality aspects in the selection of processing technologies, the acceptance of quality changes in organic food processing, and the acceptance and rejection of potential technologies for organic processing. A total of 310 stakeholders took part in the online OMSS. A central question was whether a Code of Practice (CoP) is welcomed among organic stakeholders including representatives of the organic food processing industry. According to the results of the survey two thirds of all respondents would welcome a CoP for organic food processors. The food processing method can affect 1) the taste and 2) the nutritional content of the food. It also can have an impact on 3) the environment (e.g. water and energy consumption, CO2 emissions, etc.). Hence, the study authors wanted to gain insights how important the three aspects are in the decision process whether a certain method can be considered as suitable for organic food processing or not. The results indicate that the relative importance of all quality aspects is high but varies depending on the food categories. In tendency, maintaining a high nutritional value is most important, while the influence on the sensory quality seems to be slightly less important for the choice of a processing technology. The relative importance varies between the tested food categories (food in general, staple foods, convenience foods, luxury foods), with the queried quality aspects being more important for staple foods for daily consumption than for luxury and convenience foods

Reduction of aqueous CO_2 to 1-Propanol at MoS_2 electrodes

Reduction of carbon dioxide in aqueous electrolytes at single-crystal MoS_2 or thin-film MoS_2 electrodes yields 1-propanol as the major CO_2 reduction product, along with hydrogen from water reduction as the predominant reduction process. Lower levels of formate, ethylene glycol, and t-butanol were also produced. At an applied potential of −0.59 V versus a reversible hydrogen electrode, the Faradaic efficiencies for reduction of CO_2 to 1-propanol were ∼3.5% for MoS2single crystals and ∼1% for thin films with low edge-site densities. Reduction of CO_2 to 1-propanol is a kinetically challenging reaction that requires the overall transfer of 18 e– and 18 H+ in a process that involves the formation of 2 C–C bonds. NMR analyses using ^(13)CO_2 showed the production of ^(13)C-labeled 1-propanol. In all cases, the vast majority of the Faradaic current resulted in hydrogen evolution via water reduction. H_2S was detected qualitatively when single-crystal MoS_2 electrodes were used, indicating that some desulfidization of single crystals occurred under these conditions

Children’s and adolescents’ rising animal-source food intakes in 1990–2018 were impacted by age, region, parental education and urbanicity

Animal-source foods (ASF) provide nutrition for children and adolescents’ physical and cognitive development. Here, we use data from the Global Dietary Database and Bayesian hierarchical models to quantify global, regional and national ASF intakes between 1990 and 2018 by age group across 185 countries, representing 93% of the world’s child population. Mean ASF intake was 1.9 servings per day, representing 16% of children consuming at least three daily servings. Intake was similar between boys and girls, but higher among urban children with educated parents. Consumption varied by age from 0.6 at <1 year to 2.5 servings per day at 15–19 years. Between 1990 and 2018, mean ASF intake increased by 0.5 servings per week, with increases in all regions except sub-Saharan Africa. In 2018, total ASF consumption was highest in Russia, Brazil, Mexico and Turkey, and lowest in Uganda, India, Kenya and Bangladesh. These findings can inform policy to address malnutrition through targeted ASF consumption programmes.publishedVersio

Incident type 2 diabetes attributable to suboptimal diet in 184 countries

The global burden of diet-attributable type 2 diabetes (T2D) is not well established. This risk assessment model estimated T2D incidence among adults attributable to direct and body weight-mediated effects of 11 dietary factors in 184 countries in 1990 and 2018. In 2018, suboptimal intake of these dietary factors was estimated to be attributable to 14.1 million (95% uncertainty interval (UI), 13.8–14.4 million) incident T2D cases, representing 70.3% (68.8–71.8%) of new cases globally. Largest T2D burdens were attributable to insufficient whole-grain intake (26.1% (25.0–27.1%)), excess refined rice and wheat intake (24.6% (22.3–27.2%)) and excess processed meat intake (20.3% (18.3–23.5%)). Across regions, highest proportional burdens were in central and eastern Europe and central Asia (85.6% (83.4–87.7%)) and Latin America and the Caribbean (81.8% (80.1–83.4%)); and lowest proportional burdens were in South Asia (55.4% (52.1–60.7%)). Proportions of diet-attributable T2D were generally larger in men than in women and were inversely correlated with age. Diet-attributable T2D was generally larger among urban versus rural residents and higher versus lower educated individuals, except in high-income countries, central and eastern Europe and central Asia, where burdens were larger in rural residents and in lower educated individuals. Compared with 1990, global diet-attributable T2D increased by 2.6 absolute percentage points (8.6 million more cases) in 2018, with variation in these trends by world region and dietary factor. These findings inform nutritional priorities and clinical and public health planning to improve dietary quality and reduce T2D globally.publishedVersio

Azimuthal anisotropy of charged jet production in root s(NN)=2.76 TeV Pb-Pb collisions

We present measurements of the azimuthal dependence of charged jet production in central and semi-central root s(NN) = 2.76 TeV Pb-Pb collisions with respect to the second harmonic event plane, quantified as nu(ch)(2) (jet). Jet finding is performed employing the anti-k(T) algorithm with a resolution parameter R = 0.2 using charged tracks from the ALICE tracking system. The contribution of the azimuthal anisotropy of the underlying event is taken into account event-by-event. The remaining (statistical) region-to-region fluctuations are removed on an ensemble basis by unfolding the jet spectra for different event plane orientations independently. Significant non-zero nu(ch)(2) (jet) is observed in semi-central collisions (30-50% centrality) for 20 <p(T)(ch) (jet) <90 GeV/c. The azimuthal dependence of the charged jet production is similar to the dependence observed for jets comprising both charged and neutral fragments, and compatible with measurements of the nu(2) of single charged particles at high p(T). Good agreement between the data and predictions from JEWEL, an event generator simulating parton shower evolution in the presence of a dense QCD medium, is found in semi-central collisions.
