BIO–GEL – a new type of organic fertilizer

2017

A new technology for the production of the BIO -GEL organic fertilizer which is based on physical phenomena with no chemicals used has been suggested. The technology involves reproduction of “wild” microorganisms in peat, biohumus, sapropel, fertile soil. In the course of the production process natural bacteria are hardened at temperatures above 70°С and at low temperatures below - 20°С. BIO-GEL has combined the previously incompatible properties of inoculants, fungicides and humates.Field studies conducted for several years on sandy testing grounds at extremely high temperatures in the south of Ukraine have shown that the new fertilizer has pronounced properties of a natural herbicide, act…

Agri-Food Markets towards Sustainable Patterns

2020

In recent decades, the confluence of different global and domestic drivers has led to progressive and unpredictable changes in the functioning and structure of agri-food markets worldwide. Given the unsustainability of the current agri-food production, processing, distribution and consumption patterns, and the inadequate governance of the whole food system, the transition to sustainable agriculture and food systems has become crucial to effectively manage a global agri-food market able in supporting expected population growth and ensuring universal access to sufficient, safe, and nutritious food for all. Based on a critical review of the existing international literature, the paper seeks to…

Chemical Composition and Free Radical Scavenging Activity of the Essential Oil of Achillea ligustica Growing Wild in Lipari (Aeolian Islands, Sicily)

2013

In the present study the chemical composition of the essential oils from aerial parts and flowers of Achillea ligustica All., collected in Lipari (Aeolian Islands) was evaluated by GC and GC-MS. ( Z)-Chrysanthenyl acetate was the most abundant component of both oils (29.6% in A1 and 27.8% in F1), followed by viridiflorol (16.8% in A1 and 21.6% in F1), bornyl acetate (8.7% in A1 and 11.6% in F1) and 1,8-cineole (7.4% in A1 and 9.3% in F1). A comparison was made of the composition of the different populations studied so far. Futhermore, the free radical scavenging activity of the oil was determined by DPPH and ABTS methods.

Performance of Host-Races of the Fruit Fly,Tephritis conuraon a Derived Host Plant, the Cabbage ThistleCirsium oleraceum: Implications for the Origin…

2008

The thistle-infesting fruit fly Tephritis conura Loew (Diptera: Tephritidae) forms host races on the melancholy thistle, Cirsium hetewphyllum (L.) Hill (Asterales: Asteraceae) and the cabbage thistle, Cirsium olemceum (L.). Scop. Previous research indicates that the host shift occurred from C. hetewphyllum to C. oleraceum. In this paper we address whether the host shift involved physiological adaptations by studying oviposition acceptance and survival of the two host races on the derived host C. oleraceum. Performance differed significantly between host races. T. conura originating from C. oleraceum produced adults in 75% of all egg-laying trials in contrast to only 6.6% in T. conura origin…

The potential of HPP for minimizing pesticides and toxins in food products

2020

Abstract High-pressure (HP) treatment has emerged as a novel, additive-free food preservation technology. It has been scientifically and commercially proven that HP can produce microbially safe and stable products with improved quality characteristics such as enhanced flavor and color. Recent studies have focused on the effects of HP on health attributes and allergenic potential of foodstuff to develop the next generation of convenience foods. The contamination of produced food in various conditions along the production chain always is the point of concern. In this context, food safety is among the main health concerns worldwide on the occurrence of food contaminants such as heavy metals, h…

Identification of Russian accented Finnish by native and non-native listeners with and without Finnish proficiency

2018


 
 
 The study focuses on how different groups of listeners, that is native Finnish speakers (n = 18), non-native learners of Finnish (n = 12) and non-native non-learners of Finnish (n = 18), judge samples (n = 80) of Russian accented Finnish in an auditory experiment. The samples are read-aloud phrases of three Finnish speakers and three L1 Russian beginner learners of Finnish who were recorded three times at six-month intervals during their residence in Finland. The results show that the listener groups differ significantly from each other in the ability to identify the Russian accented samples. In addition, all the listener groups reported to have paid more attention to p…

Striving for mutual understanding : native English speakers' views on speech modifications in intercultural encounters

2016

”Foreigner talk” -nimistä ilmiötä on aikaisemmin tutkittu melko laajaltikin eri näkökulmien kautta. Suurin osa tutkimuksesta on tehty 1980-luvulla, jonka jälkeen termin käyttö näyttää hiljalleen vähentyneen. ”Foreigner talk” tarkoittaa muokattua kieltä, jonka tarkoitus on tehdä puheesta ymmärrettävämpää henkilölle, jonka kompetenssi kohdekielessä ei ole toisen puhujan kanssa syystä tai toisesta samalla tasolla: kyseessä voivat olla esimerkiksi kieltä äidinkielenään puhuva henkilö ja kieltä vieraana kielenä puhuva henkilö. Aivan viime aikoina ilmiö näyttää nouseen taas suosioon tutkimuskohteena etenkin osana työympäristöä, jossa kansainväliset kohtaamiset ovat monelle arkipäivää. Siitä huoli…
