In various groups of the population of Ukraine due to an unbalanced diet there is a “hidden hunger”, which leads to a slowdown in intellectual development and reduced productivity, falling production capacity as a result of increased morbidity and disability, as well as catastrophic loss of human potential. The article is devoted to the development of technology for complex processing of industrial hemp seeds. It is shown that the scientific substantiation and creation of the specified technology provides production of food hemp products of high quality, and the amount of waste in their production is minimal. A technological scheme of industrial hemp seeds complex processing has been developed, which consists of two main technological lines: hemp seed felling, production of hemp oil and bulk hemp products. These processes can be both sequential and parallel depending on the needs of production. The scheme provides for the production of only hemp kernel, or only oil and cake, or oil and bulk hemp products (flour, “protein” and bran). According to the developed technological scheme of industrial hemp seeds complex processing, the following ready hemp products were obtained: kernel, oil, “protein”, flour and bran. The technical conditions for these products were developed and approved in 2019 by the director of Desnaland Limited Liability Company. Finished products can be used as stand-alone foods and as ingredients in health food technologies. According to the results of the calculations, the cost of 1 kg of hemp kernel is 226.49 UAH, 1 kg of hemp oil is 206.65 UAH, 1 sachet of hemp oil is 4.13 UAH, 1 kg of hemp “protein” is 503.78 UAH, 1 kg of hemp flour is 16.23 UAH, 1 kg of hemp bran is 39.64 UAH; the level of profitability is 42.1 %, the payback period is 2.1 years. The proposed technology of industrial hemp seeds complex processing can be recommended for use in the agro-industrial sector.

Sustainable, economically feasible, and green resources for energy and chemical products have people’s attention due to global energy demand and environmental issues. Last several decades, diverse lignocellulosic biomass has been studied for the production of biofuels and biochemicals. Industrial hemp has great market potential with its versatile applications. With the increase of the hemp-related markets with hemp seed, hemp oil, and fiber, the importance of hemp biomass utilization has also been emphasized in recent studies. Biological conversions of industrial hemp into bioethanol and other biochemicals have been introduced to address the aforementioned energy and environmental challenges. Its high cellulose content and the increased production because of the demand for cannabidiol oil and hempseed products make it a promising future bioenergy and biochemical source. Effective valorization of the underutilized hemp biomass can also improve the cost-competitiveness of hemp products. This manuscript reviews recent biological conversion strategies for industrial hemp and its characteristics. Current understanding of the industrial hemp properties and applied conversion technologies are briefly summarized. In addition, challenges and future perspectives of the biological conversion with industrial hemp are discussed.

Various forms of substitutability are essential for establishing the existence of equilibria and other useful properties in diverse settings such as matching, auctions, and exchange economies with indivisible goods. We extend earlier models' definitions of substitutability to settings in which each agent can be both a buyer in some transactions and a seller in others, and show that all these definitions are equivalent. We then introduce a new class of substitutable preferences that allows us to model intermediaries with production capacity. We also prove that substitutability is preserved under economically important transformations such as trade endowments, mergers, and limited liability.

Abstract The cogeneration systems in the industrial sector have become an essential part due to their global efficiency and reduced pollution. These systems may operate from conventional fuel sources, as well as from renewable energy sources (biomass, solar, fuel cell). Cogeneration systems could be installed as a distributed generation and on-site generation source in order to take advantage from the produced heat. The utility can motivate factories to install such systems by permitting them to link and sell their residual production capacity to the electrical grid. This work presents a new technique to find the best solution from multi-objective optimization results, using a sensitivity and data analysis method. Genetic Algorithm (GA) optimization method is used with the data analysis method: Multiple Linear Regression (MLR).

India is the third largest country in the higher education space with an unemployment rate of 4.8 percent. There is clear gap between academic deliverables and expectation from the employers and industries. Experimentation based learning is not leveraging actual knowledge as the process based learning happens while the candidate is on the job. The current employment greatly depends on the industry, academia, research and government sectors. To gain an entry in to each of these segments, the candidates need skillsets ranging from strong technical background, aptitude, communication skills, and working in teams. There are multiple ways through which the skill building is carried out by independent, government and industrial organizations. As an ecosystem, both academia and the industries should step forward to bridge the gap and utilize the human potential to the fullest to drive the growth of each industrial sector andthe region at large. This chapter outlines the outreach of industries through initiatives to bridge the gap between the academia and industry to promote regional growth. The opportunities, the gap that exists, various initiatives are discussed in detail.

The hemp (Cannabis sativa L.) seeds present an important raw material resource for the industry due to processing possibilities of plants components. The hemp oil and the pressing cake resulted by the cold pressing of the hemp presents excellent alimentary and therapeutic properties. The purpose of the research was to study the technology of obtaining of the hemp oil by cold pressing of the seeds, the influence of the process parameters and raw materials quality upon the products quality. The pressing was made with screw press of small using press nozzle in diameters of 5, 6, 7, 8 and 10 mm. For the hemp seed there were determined the organoleptic characteristics (total volatile matter and the raw fat content by Soxhlet extraction). For the hemp oil there were determined the acid value and the peroxide value. There werde determined the working parameters of the press (the rate efficiency and the productivity of the press). The results emphasized important data for the practice. The fat content of the seed was between 30,89 and 33,25 % and the volatile matter was between 90,42 and 93,68 %. The rate efficieny of the cold pressing of the hemp seed was between 23,89 and 27,69 % obtained oil, being influenced by the characteristics of the seeds. The pressing process was also influenced by the quality of the seed, presenting optimal values in the case of using pressing nozzle 8 and 10 mm in diameter. The acid values of the hemp oil was between 0,65 and 4,45 mg KOH/g oil and the peroxide values was between 0,62 and 26,91 mEg O2/g. Further studies are recommended be made and there are the initiations of ab informational programme, in order to inform the farmers and consumer about the benefic and therapeutic effects of the hemp oil upon the health.

Industrial hemp is a non-psychoactive variety of Cannabis sativa L., i.e., it contains less than 0.3% tetrahydrocannabinols (THC). This crop is one of historical importance in the U.S. as manufacturers seek industrial hemp as a renewable and sustainable resource for a wide variety of consumer and industrial products. To help farmers succeed, agronomic research on industrial hemp is needed. In this trial, investigations were performed to determine whether magneto-priming, a form of seed priming that involves magnetic fields, effects the germination percentage of industrial hemp seed. Beneficial effects of magnetic fields on seedling growths and germination have been reported for many different plant species. Dry industrial hemp seed was exposed to static magnetic fields ranging from 65 ± 3 to 505 ± 8 mT for 2 h prior to seed germination. Germination was performed at 13.6 ± 0.7 °C, a temperature that is representative of the germination temperatures of industrial hemp in the U.S. state of Colorado. Magneto-priming of seed had no statistically significant effect on seed germination percentage.

Modern society is at a new informational stage of development. This led to the modernization of communication tools and the emergence of new types of cognitive activity of man, in particular, «clip thinking. Since «clip thinking” is formed in childhood, an assessment of the impact of Internet communication and the use of «gadgets» on the formation of cognitive processes in children, as one of the components of human potential, can help in solving this problem. The purpose of the manuscript was to assess the impact of the use of ICTs and electronic devices on the formation of memory, attention, thinking, imagination, digital skills in school children. It was determined that the constant use of «smart»technology and Internet resources by children has an adverse effect on the formation of memorization, thinking and attention skills, as well as academic performance and school motivation. Scientific novelty lies in the ability to assess the level of development of cognitive processes in schoolchildren under the influence of ICT using the sub-index of intellectual development developed by the scientific group, the index of the human potential of the child population. The obtained data can be used in the formation of family policy programs, the development of educational organizations, professional development of teachers, psychologists, social educators, parents.

ABSTRACT Background Hemp seeds are rich in PUFAs and other bioactives that can attenuate the development of obesity-related disorders; however, the extent to which their lipid fraction is responsible for this effect is unknown. Objective We hypothesized that hemp seed or hemp oil supplementation can attenuate genetically determined disorders and that the former are more effective in doing so. Methods Lean and obese male Zucker rats, aged 8 wk, weighing 174 ± 4.2 g and 223 ± 3.8 g, respectively, were allocated to 4 groups. The lean (LC) and obese controls (OC) were fed a standard diet, whereas the other 2 obese groups were fed a modified diet in which hemp oil (4% diet; O + HO) or hemp seeds (12% diet; O + HS) were included. All diets had the same proportions of protein (18%), fat (8%), and fiber (5%) and a similar carbohydrate proportion (∼52%). Diets fed to O + HO and O + HS had similar fatty acid profiles. After 4 wk, markers of gut and liver function, antioxidant status, and lipid metabolism were measured. Results The total SCFA concentration in the cecal digesta was lower in OC (64.8 ± 4.21 µmol/g) compared with LC (78.1 ± 2.83 µmol/g) (P ≤ 0.05), whereas it was greater in O + HS (89 ± 4.41 µmol/g) compared with LC, OC, and O + HO (69.7 ± 2.68 µmol/g) (P ≤ 0.05). Plasma total cholesterol was greater in OC (6.20 ± 0.198 mmol/L) and O + HO (5.60 ± 0.084 mmol/L) compared with LC (2.71 ± 0.094 mmol/L) (P ≤ 0.05); in O + HS, the concentration did not differ from the other groups (5.16 ± 0.278 mmol/L). The liver cholesterol concentration was greater in OC (1.79 ± 0.379 mg/g) compared with the other groups (1.28–1.43 mg/g) (P ≤ 0.05). Hepatic expression of peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor γ was lower in OC (11.9 ± 0.93 units) compared with LC (17.3 ± 1.3 units) (P ≤ 0.05), whereas it was greater in O + HS (19.2 ± 1.04 units) compared with OC and O + HO (14.0 ± 1.33 units) (P ≤ 0.05). Conclusions Dietary hemp seeds more effectively attenuate metabolic disorders in genetically obese rats than the oil extracted from them, which suggests that the lipid fraction is only partly responsible for these effects.

Abstract Industrial hemp is currently being investigated as a potential new crop in the U.S. with the 2014 and 2018 Farm Bills passage. Hemp seeds are utilized to produce hemp oil and result in Hempseed Meal (HSM) production, rich in crude protein and fiber, making it an ideal candidate as a feedstuff for ruminant animals. This study evaluated the effects of feeding different levels of HSM on the carcass traits and meat quality of crossbred Boer goats. Forty castrated male goat kids with an initial average body weight of 25.63±.33 kg and approximately six months of age and kg were assigned to one of four treatments (n = 10) in a completely randomized design. Goats were fed pelleted diets (50% forage and 50% concentrate). Treatments consisted of different levels of HSM: control with 0%, 10%, 20%, and 30% HSM supplementation of the total diets. The goats were harvested, and carcasses were processed at the Lambert-Powell Meat Laboratory at Auburn University after a 60-d feeding trial. Data were analyzed using the GLIMMIX procedures of SAS 9.4 (SAS Inst. Inc., Cary, NC). There were no significant differences (P > 0.05) on the mean values of dressing percentages (46.59, 45.42, 45.77, and 46.16% for 0, 10, 20 and 30% HSM, respectively) and ribeye area (3.68, 3.4, 3.47, 3.39 inches, respectively). The percentage of moisture, fats, proteins, and collagen in the muscles showed no significant difference (P > 0.05) between the different levels of HSM-containing diets. The marbling scores (376, 399, 355, 364 respectively) were also not significantly different (P > 0.05) among the treatments and are representative of marbling scores indicative of “slight.” Results suggest that producers can include up to 30% of HSM in the diets of growing meat goats without creating a detrimental effect on carcass traits.
