ELABORAÇÃO DE UM PRODUTO FUNCIONAL À BASE DE ABACATE E CACAU    JULIANA ARRUDA RAMOS1, FLÁVIA APARECIDA DE CARVALHO MARIANO-NASSER1, KARINA APARECIDA FURLANETO1, MAURÍCIO DOMINGUEZ NASSER1, ROGÉRIO LOPES VIEITES1        1Departamento de Horticultura, Faculdade de Ciências Agronômicas, UNESP, Botucatu, SP. Av. Universitária, nº 3780 - Altos do Paraíso, 18610-034, Botucatu - SP, Brasil.  [email protected], [email protected],.    [email protected], [email protected], [email protected].   RESUMO: A crescente demanda social em conhecer as informações e composições dos alimentos tem impulsionado a inovação na elaboração de produtos funcionais, que além dos nutrientes como as vitaminas e minerais, possuem substâncias bioativas que melhoram o bem-estar das pessoas, modulando o sistema imunológico e prevenindo o surgimento precoce de doenças degenerativas, podendo, com isso, aumentar a longevidade. Dentro desses alimentos funcionais, destaca-se o abacate, fonte de fitoquímicos e o cacau, rico em polifenóis, que pode auxiliar na prevenção de doenças cardiovasculares e modular o metabolismo lipídico. Diante disso, objetivou-se elaborar e avaliar a aceitabilidade da pasta de abacate e cacau. Inicialmente foi realizada a caracterização físico-química, centesimal, da cor instrumental e dos compostos bioativos da polpa de abacate. Para a elaboração da pasta foram testados diferentes agentes de dulçor (mel, açúcar demerara e melado), a concentração mais adequada do agente escolhido (15%, 25% e 35%) e diferentes concentrações do cacau no produto (4,5%, 6,5% e 8,5%) verificando a aceitabilidade do produto através de testes sensoriais. E ao final foi calculada a informação nutricional da pasta de abacate e cacau. O delineamento utilizado foi o inteiramente casualizado. Os dados foram submetidos à análise de variância (ANOVA) e as médias foram comparadas por meio do teste de Tukey com 5 % de significância. O açúcar demerara foi o produto escolhido pelos consumidores, assim como as concentrações de 25 % de açúcar e 8,5 % de cacau. A pasta é rica em fibras (1,30 g por porção), pobre em gorduras saturadas (0,19g por porção) e livre de sódio. Portanto, foi possível desenvolver pasta de abacate com boa aceitação dos consumidores.   Palavras-chaves: Persea americana Mill., cacau, processamento, análise sensorial, irradiação.   ELABORATION OF A FUNCTIONAL PRODUCT BASED ON AVOCADO   ABSTRACT: The increasing social demand to know the information and compositions of foods has driven innovation in the elaboration of functional products, which besides nutrients like vitamins and minerals, have bioactive substances that improve the well-being of the people, modulating the immune system and preventing the early onset of degenerative diseases, which may increase longevity. Within these functional foods, we highlight the avocado, source of phytochemicals and cocoa, rich in polyphenols, which can help in the prevention of cardiovascular diseases and modulate lipid metabolism. Because of this, the aim is to prepare and evaluate the acceptability of avocado and cacao paste. Initially the physical-chemical characterization, centesimal, of the instrumental color and bioactive compounds of the avocado pulp was carried out. Different sweetening agents (honey, demerara and molasses), the most appropriate concentration of the selected agent (15%, 25%, and 35%) and different concentrations of cocoa in the product (4.5%, 6.5% and 8.5%) verified the acceptability of the product through sensory tests. At the end, the nutritional information of the avocado and cacao paste was calculated. The design was completely randomized. The data were submitted to analysis of variance (ANOVA) and the means were compared by means of the Tukey test with 5% significance. The Demerara sugar was the product chosen by the consumers, as well as the concentrations of 25% sugar and 8.5% cocoa. The paste is high in fiber, low in saturated fats and free of sodium. Therefore, it was possible to develop avocado paste with good consumer acceptance.   Keywords: Persea americana Mill., cocoa, processing, sensory analysis, irradiation.

Society means a group of people who are living together. People need society from birth to death. Without a collective life, man's deeds, intentions, and habits have no value. Islamic society is the name of a balanced and moderate life in which human intellect, customs, and social etiquette are determined in the light of divine revelation. This system is so comprehensive and all-encompassing that it covers all aspects and activities of life. Islam is a comprehensive, universal, complete code of conduct, and an ideal way of life It not only recognizes the collectiveness of human interaction. Rather, it helps in the development of the community and gives it natural principles that strengthen the community and provides good foundations for it and eliminates the factors that spoil it or make it limited and useless. The Principles of a successful social life in Islamic society seem to reflect the Islamic code of conduct and human nature. Islam is the only religion that advocates goodness and guarantees well-being. Islam gives us self-sacrifice, generosity, trust and honesty, service to the people, justice and fairness, forgiveness and kindness, good society and economy, good deeds, mutual unity, harmony, and brotherhood. Only by practicing the pure thoughts, beliefs, and unparalleled ideas of the religion of Islam, can a person live a prosperous life and he can feel real peace and lasting contentment in the moments of his life. A descriptive and analytical research methodology will be used in this study. It is concluded that for a prosperous social life it is necessary to abide by the injunction of Islamic principles, which provides a sound foundation for a successful social life here in the world and hereafter.

Organizing Principles

The modem American ethos is a brand of Lockean individualism gone wrong that now embraces rapacious self-interest as its prime meridian. A new ethicalmodel is necessary to combat this radical, soulless, and excessively particularistic form of individualism. The author proposes a journeyman philosophy of organization and governance for citizen and administrative practitioner alike based upon concepts from quantum theory. This normative model of administration, called authentic individualism, has certain ramifications for a more reflexive, creative and unorthodox approach to public administration. All institutions and organizations are systems guided by general organizing principles that should discard the humans as a resource model, make employee well-being an organizational purpose, encourage humans toward a sense of moral meaning in life and work, recognize legitimate leadership as emerging from the people who make up the organization, and fulfill obligations to the community that supports them and makes them successful.

Health And Well Being

More than 80% of the people in the USA and Canada live in cities. Urban development replaces natural environments with built environments resulting in limited access to outdoor environments which are critical to human health and well-being. In addition, many urban open spaces are unused because of poor design. This paper describes case studies where traditional landscape architectural design approaches would have compromised design success, while evidence-based landscape architecture (EBLA) resulted in a successful product. Examples range from school-yard design that provides safe levels of solar radiation for children, to neighborhood parks and sidewalks that encourage people to walk and enjoy nearby nature. Common characteristics for integrating EBLA into private, public, and academic landscape architecture practice are outlined along with a discussion of some of the opportunities and barriers to implementation.

Positive Results

It was from the middle of the eighteenth century that discussions regarding the strategies taken up by the Protestant missionaries to propagate the Gospel generated the issue of healthcare and medical facilities among people in India. Medical mission, which hitherto was not considered, started to gain importance and reaped positive results in terms of curing individuals and its trustworthiness among tribes residing in the frontier regions. However, this developed a separatist religious identity among the population, which apparently did not appear lethal, but later culminated in the fragmentation and impeachment of solidarity among the adivais (tribal) and vengeance from the Hindu population. This article will show how the Canadian Baptist Mission, with its primary aim of spreading the Kingdom of God among the tribal Savaras in the Ganjam district of Orissa, undertook measures for serving health issues and provided medical facilities to both the caste Oriyas and the tribal Savaras. Although medical activities oriented towards philanthropy and physical well-being, medical mission was not limited to healing illness and caring for all, but also extended to spreading the word of God and influencing the people to embrace Christianity as well, which invited political troubles into the region.

The COVID-19 pandemic brought new challenges to the global community, reinforcing the role of public health in society. The main measures to combat it had (and still have) a huge impact on the daily lives of citizens. This investigation aimed to identify and monitor the population’s perceptions about how it faced this period and the impact on health, well-being, and daily life. In this study, we describe the main trends observed throughout the COVID-19 pandemic in terms of mental health status, confidence in the capacity of the health services to respond to the pandemic, and the use of health services by participants. The online survey collected responses from 171,947 individuals ≥16 years of age in Portugal, over a period of 15 weeks that started on 21 March 2020. Participants could fill the questionnaire once or weekly, which enabled us to analyse trends and variations in responses. Overall, 81% of the respondents reported having felt agitated, anxious, or sad during the COVID-19 pandemic; 19% did not experience these feelings. During the confinement period, the proportion of participants feeling agitated, anxious, or sad every day/almost every day ranged between 20 and 30%, but since the deconfinement this proportion decreased. Around 30% reported having more difficulty getting to sleep or to sleep all night; 28.4% felt more agitated; 25.5% felt sadder, discouraged, or cried more easily; and 24.7% felt unable to do everything they had to do, women more frequently than men. Overall, 65.8% of the participants reported feeling confident or very confident in the health services’ capacity to respond to the challenges associated with the pandemic, and this confidence increased over time. Concerning the people who needed a consultation, 35.6% had one in person and 20.8% had one remotely, but almost 44% did not have one due to cancellation by the service (27.2%) or their own decision not to go (16.3%). At this unusual time in which we find ourselves and based on our findings, it is essential to continue monitoring how the population is facing the different phases of the pandemic until it officially ends. Analysing the effects of the pandemic from the point of view of citizens allows for anticipating critical trends and can contribute to preventative action.

How should anti-paternalists deal with policies that seem to be simultaneously reasonable and paternalistic? In the literature, anti-paternalists have sought to show that many policies that prevent people from harming themselves can be justified without appeal to the good accruing to the people interfered with; that is, without appeal to paternalistic reasons. However, while perhaps identifying sufficient non-paternalistic reasons for supporting these policies under realistic circumstances, anti-paternalists often fail, I argue, to identify satisfactory reasons that adequately reflect our underlying concerns pertaining to such policies. Included in those concerns are arguably the interests and well-being of the people whose choices are restricted by the policy in question. In this way, this article reveals that the strategy of reconciling anti-paternalism with seemingly paternalistic policies is beset by serious problems.

The current review aims to summarise the biodiversity and biosynthesis of novel secondary metabolites compounds, of the phylum Actinobacteria and the diverse range of secondary metabolites produced that vary depending on its ecological environments they inhabit. Actinobacteria creates a wide range of bioactive substances that can be of great value to public health and the pharmaceutical industry. The literature analysis process for this review was conducted using the VOSviewer software tool to visualise the bibliometric networks of the most relevant databases from the Scopus database in the period between 2010 and 22 March 2021. Screening and exploring the available literature relating to the extreme environments and ecosystems that Actinobacteria inhabit aims to identify new strains of this major microorganism class, producing unique novel bioactive compounds. The knowledge gained from these studies is intended to encourage scientists in the natural product discovery field to identify and characterise novel strains containing various bioactive gene clusters with potential clinical applications. It is evident that Actinobacteria adapted to survive in extreme environments represent an important source of a wide range of bioactive compounds. Actinobacteria have a large number of secondary metabolite biosynthetic gene clusters. They can synthesise thousands of subordinate metabolites with different biological actions such as anti-bacterial, anti-parasitic, anti-fungal, anti-virus, anti-cancer and growth-promoting compounds. These are highly significant economically due to their potential applications in the food, nutrition and health industries and thus support our communities’ well-being.

National Security Strategy

The National Security Strategy of the Russian Federation, approved by Presidential Decree no. 400 of July 2, 2021, is the first strategic planning document in the history of modern Russia, which called the preservation of the people of Russia and the development of human potential a primary national interest and strategic national priority, and improving the quality of life and well-being of citizens is among the priorities. The scientific research of document that changed the paradigm of national security is just beginning. In the study, using a comparative historical methodology, an intersectoral analysis of the transformation of the labor-legal and social-protective component of the National Security Strategy is carried out, the timeliness of the changes is empirically proved on the basis of statistical data. In the course of the study, we develop a classification of tasks to ensure the implementation of state policy goals, depending on the degree of determination with the sphere of labor and social protection, creates the basis for intersectoral research on national security issues, improving current legislation and its application through the prism of constitutional guarantees in the social protection and labor law spheres. We substantiate the increasing role of social partnership, social solidarity, socially responsible business and the principle of respect for human labor as necessary conditions for the implementation of strategic plans to ensure national security for the preservation of the people of Russia and the development of human potential.
