Tiger nut powder as ingredient for obtaining gluten free foods based on noodle processing and extrusion technology

2021

Tiger nut (Cyperus esculentus L.) is a sweet tuber mostly cultivated in Eastern Spain (Valencia) and in west Africa. Its nutritional profile stands out for the high fiber and unsaturated fat content; moreover, the moderate protein amount might make it suitable for the nutritional enrichment of gluten free foods. The objective of this thesis was to extend the applications of tiger nut as gluten free (GF) ingredient in noodles making and snacks. The study of marketed GF pasta revealed the nutritional inadequacy and lower cooking performances compared with their gluten containing homologous. The quantification of furosine content was handy for a better understanding of the heat damage caused d…

Mobilizing ‘context’: Vocabulary checks in ESL tutoring sessions

2022

This study investigates the practice of unplanned and emergent vocabulary checks, i.e. turns through which a speaker explicitly checks whether the recipient knows a word, in small-group tutorial instruction. The data are video-recorded English as a second language (ESL) tutoring sessions between a native English speaker tutor and ESL students at an urban community college in the United States. By drawing on conversation analysis, we analyze how vocabulary checks emerge sequentially and with the help of contextual interactional resources. Findings suggest that vocabulary checks constitute a practice for managing both shared understanding and pedagogical concerns. By singling out a vocabulary…

Vārdu krājumu novērtējums ar dažādu testēšanu paņēmienu izmantošanu

2016

Darbā tika pētītas vārdu krājuma testēšanas paņēmienu priekšrocības un trūkumi un visefektīvākais un drošākais paņēmiens vārdu krājuma pārbaudei mācību apstākļos. Pētījuma rezultāti spēj veicināt izvēli par labu konkrētam testēšanas paņēmienam, saskaņā ar novērtēšanas veidu un mērķi, tēmu, mērķauditoriju un vidi. Darba teorētiskā daļa ir balstīta uz Arthur Hughes (2003), Scott Thornbury (2002), John Read (2000) un Penny Ur (1999) teorijas. Gadījuma metodes ietvaros tika vadīta mācību nodarbība, pēc kuras studentu zināšanas tika novērtētas ar autores izstrādāto testa palīdzību. Kvantitatīva analīze tika pielietota testa rezultātu noteikšanā un uzticamības mērīšanā, turklāt kvalitatīva analīz…

E-health systems in digital environments

2019

As we live in the digital world, people can be provided with more effective treatment methods that allow them to live longer in their home and to live there better. People can be provided with better home care and preventive health care. People can easily carry portable sensors and intelligent devices in their bodies and wrists that relay their vital information to hospital systems in real time, from which healthcare staff can track human vitality even in real time. Although the digital world offers good opportunities to improve healthcare systems and make disease analyses more effective, we must look deeper about that issue. Devices and systems may not work well together. Almost every manu…

Ontology and protocol secure for SCADA

2014

In this work, we present a semantic cyber security system and we study its semantic intelligent systems vulnerabilities, focusing on the semantic attacks. For resolving semantic problems we propose a security global solution for the new generation of SCADA systems. The proposed solution aims at protecting critical semantic SCADA processes from the effects of major failures and semantic vulnerabilities in the modern IT-SCADA network. We used a security block in the global network access point, security protocols deployed in different network (OSI) levels and security ontologies deployed in security devices. We used our mixed coordinates (ECC) cryptography solution, this is an encryption tech…

"Demokracja jacksonowska" a zmiana postawy legitymizacji władzy sądowniczej w USA

2021

The article discusses the issue of changes of the bases of legitimization for the state judiciary in the US during the so-called “Jacksonian Democracy”, i.e., the period from 1829 (the beginning of the presidency of Andrew Jackson) until the outbreak of the Civil War. During this period on the wave of the democratization process of public institutions in the US, popular elections were introduced to select judges at the state level. The reason for the introduced institution was the willingness of legal environments to make judges independent from the world of politics, as well as strengthening their social authority and a political position in a political system. The result of popular electi…

Horizons de justice de l'école, en France et aux États-Unis

2010

Social inequalities of educational careers are stronger in France than in the US, while most of the other indicators of equity are roughly equal. This can be related to the existence of paths in the French educational system, which do not exist in the more comprehensive american systems. More deeply, it can be related to the fact that equity in the US is conceived as fairness of the process of empowerment of students while it is conceived in France as the independence of the educational merit with the social capital.
