Trace Element Concentration and Stable Isotope Ratio Analysis in Blueberries and Bilberries: A Tool for Quality and Authenticity Control
2021
Vaccinium genus berries—wild bilberries (Vaccinium myrtillus L.) and cultivated highbush blueberries (Vaccinium corymbosum L.)—are consumed worldwide, and their consumption has a trend of stable increase. Thus, considering their wide use in ethnomedicine, for juice and jam production, as functional food, as well as their use in preparations of extracts which have application potential in pharmaceutical and cosmetics industries, studies regarding the composition of these berries are of special importance. The aim of this study is to characterise the elemental and isotopic composition, as well as variation in element concentration in bilberries gathered from different sites in Northern Europe…
Effect of Oral Physiology Parameters on In-Mouth Aroma Compound Release Using Lipoprotein Matrices: An In Vitro Approach
2019
Temporal aroma compound release during eating is a function of the physicochemical properties of the food matrix, aroma compounds, and oral physiology of individuals. However, the influence of each parameter on the release of each aroma component should be clarified. Two flavored lipoprotein matrices varying in composition were chewed in a chewing simulator that reproduced most of the physiological functions of the mouth. Aroma compound releases (butanoic acid, 2-heptanone, ethyl butyrate, 3-octanone, and 2-nonanone) were followed in real time by direct connection of the device to APCI-MS (atmospheric pressure chemical ionization mass spectrometry). Each oral parameter was controlled and de…
Comparison of healthy behavior in Ukrainian and Polish students of physical education
2021
Introduction: This study aimed to examine the healthy behaviors in undergraduate students of Physical Education (PE) from Ukraine and Poland in comparison to the control sample of students of other faculties. Material and methods: The group of 564 university students (67% of males), ranging in age from 18 to 41 years (M = 22.05, SD = 2.49), was surveyed using a written form of the Health Behavior Inventory (HBI). The HBI includes the following four subscales: healthy habits, nutrition (HHN), preventive behavior (PB), positive adjustments (PA), and healthy practices (HP). Undergraduates' sample consisted of 25% Ukrainian students of PE faculty, 30% Polish PE students, and 45% Polish sample o…
Characterisation of the volatile fraction of aromatic caramel using heart-cutting multidimensional gas chromatography
2014
The first aim of our study was to improve characterisation of the volatile fraction of aromatic caramel by applying heart-cutting multidimensional gas chromatography coupled to mass spectrometry and olfactometry (MDGC-MS-O) on targeted odorant fractions. The second aim was to compare the volatile composition of two caramel samples, which differed in terms of their carbohydrate composition and cooking process. MDGC analyses enabled identification of 37 compounds (17 with the addition of pure standard) in the burnt sugar caramel, 20 of which were reported for the first time in caramel. Fifteen compounds were identified as odour-active and described using a range of attributes such as floral, …
Zoom in on Dry Joy—Dissensus, Agonism and Democracy in Art Education
2021
Literature on art education often emphasizes dialogue as a preferred approach and as a way of practicing democratic education in museums and galleries. Dialogue-based tours in such contexts are often characterized by a sense of harmony and agreement. In contrast, this article discusses the democratic aspect and political potentiality when dissensus and agonism are used as central educational strategies. The point of departure for the discussion was a teaching session on the online platform Zoom with student teachers as part of their module on art and crafts at the University of Agder in Kristiansand, Norway, in spring 2020. Artworks from the exhibition Dry Joy, in Sø

European cultural policies experienced a decentralization process in the late twentieth century, in which regional and local governments took center stage rather than central governments. Thus, Spa...
The aroma of strawberry (Fragaria ananassa): Characterisation of some cultivars and influence of freezing
1990
The volatiles of six strawberry (Fragaria ananassa Duch) cultivars, both fresh and deep-frozen, were isolated by direct dichloromethane extraction. Sixty compounds were identified and quantified by GC—MS. Characterisation of cultivars was achieved by applying principal component analysis to the chromatographic data. Great differences were observed. Maxim and Directeur Paul Wallbaum are rather low in volatiles while Gariguette and Tioga are rich in mesifurane (2,5-dimethyl-4-methoxy-2,3-dihydrofuran-3-one), furaneol' (2,5-dimethyl-4-hydroxy-2,3-dihydrofuran-3-one) and nerolidol. Esters are the major compounds in Senga Sengana and Vicomtesse Hericart de Thury. This last cultivar is also chara…
Le chevet de l'ancienne abbatiale de Saint-Antoine-en-Viennois et sa place dans l'histoire de l'architecture du XIIIe siècle
2012
The Eastern parts of the former abbey church in Saint-Antoine-en-Viennois, which have never been correctly analyzed appear to be very important for the comprehension of the development of Gothic ar...
'In altum mittis radices humilitatis'. A Study of Marian Images in touch with Nature
2019
espanolCiertos tipos iconograficos marianos se han mostrado especialmente propicios a las representaciones de la Virgen en relacion con algunos elementos naturales. La Madre de Dios se encuentra, a menudo, en contacto directo con la tierra en numerosas imagenes de la Virgen de la Humildad y en un jardin, rodeada de flores, en la Virgen de la Rosaleda; mientras que, tras su Asuncion, lirios y rosas asoman del sepulcro vacio. En todos estos casos, segun podemos inferir de su estudio iconografico, a partir de las fuentes patristicas y teologicas, la naturaleza es un simil de las virtudes de la Virgen, aunque no siempre. En algunas imagenes de la Scala Salutis, el suelo permite fijar a Maria en…
El proyecto definitivo de Antonio da Sangallo el Joven para la iglesia de Nostra Dona de Montserrat de Roma: revisión y actualización
2022
Se propone una interpretación renovada del proyecto U 171 A recto de Antonio da Sangallo el Joven para la iglesia de la comunidad de la Corona de Aragón en Roma, Nostra Dona de Montserrat. Se revisa la bibliografía actual mediante una búsqueda sistemática en los archivos de los Establecimientos Españoles en Roma y se realiza un minucioso análisis métrico y com-positivo de los planos y de los bocetos iniciales. Se estudia el contexto cultural del arquitecto y de su cliente, y se compara la planta actual de la iglesia con las sucesivas propuestas de Antonio Cordini ¿focalizando en la planta definitiva, pero sin olvidar los dibujos U 168 A recto, U 1789 A y U 720 A recto¿. Esto permite corregi…
