<p align="center">ABSTRAK</p><p>Jagung antioksidan mengandung beta karoten pada endosperm yang bermanfaat untuk kesehatan, antara lain dapat mencegah buta dini (rabun/katarak), kerontokan rambut, memperkuat jaringan tubuh, dan mencegah gizi buruk pada anak balita. Kementerian Pertanian telah melepas tiga varietas jagung antioksidan kaya beta karoten, dua dari jenis bersari bebas (varietas Provit A1 dan Provit A2) dan satu dari jenis hibrida (varietas Bima Provit A1) masing-masing dengan kadar beta karoten 155,3-281,6% lebih tinggi dari jagung biasa. Potensi hasil jenis bersari bebas dapat mencapai 7,36 t/ha dan jenis hibrida 9,85 t/ha. Budi daya jagung antioksidan sama dengan jagung biasa. Aspek yang perlu mendapat perhatian adalah isolasi jarak tanaman, minimal 300 m, dan isolasi waktu tanam 3 minggu setelah tanam dengan tanaman jagung biasa. Hal ini diperlukan untuk menghindari xenia effect, yaitu pengaruh tepungsari jagung biasa yang menyerbuki jagung antioksidan sehingga kadar antioksidannya akan menurun dan statusnya kembali sama dengan jagung biasa. Hasil panen dapat dijadikan bahan baku industry berbagai makanan olahan bergizi tinggi. Pengembangan jagung antioksidan, terutama di Kawasan Timur Indonesia perlu peran pemerintah setempat dalam upaya mempercepat adopsi oleh petani.</p><p>Kata kunci: Jagung, antioksidan, beta karoten, pangan fungsional</p><br /><p align="center"><strong> </strong></p><p align="center">ABSTRACT</p><p>Antioxidant maize contains beta carotene in the endosperm that is beneficial for health, such as can prevent early blindness (blindness / cataract), hair loss, strengthen body tissues, and prevent malnutrition in children under five. The Ministry of Agriculture has released three varieties of beta-carotene-rich antioxidant maize, two of the free-range (Provit A1 and Provit A2) varieties and one of the hybrid varieties (Bima Provit A1) each with carotene beta levels of 155.3 to 236.6 % higher than ordinary corn. The potential of free pollen type yield can reach 7.36 t / ha and hybrid type 9.85 t / ha. The cultivation of antioxidant corn is the same as ordinary corn. Aspects that need attention are isolation of plant spacing, at least 300 m, and isolation of planting time 3 weeks after planting with ordinary corn crops. This is necessary to avoid the xenia effect, which is the effect of ordinary corn corn that pollinate antioxidant corn so that its antioxidant levels will decrease and its status is the same as ordinary corn. Yields can be used as industrial raw materials of various highly processed nutritious foods. Development of antioxidant maize, especially in Eastern Indonesia needs the role of local government in an effort to accelerate adoption by farmers.</p><p>Keywords: Maize, antioxidant, beta caroten, functional food.</p>

The relevance of the article is determined by the fact that in Russia there is no effective mechanism of state support for the activities of non-profit organizations in the field of “green Finance”. The role of non-profit organizations is leveled, which can become a serious help in solving economic problems, in particular, the problems of recycling and processing of secondary raw materials, the placement of industrial waste and household garbage, and landscaping of large megacities. The main financial burden in the field of “green economy” falls on States and large enterprises. Meanwhile, we cannot ignore the important role of non-profit organizations that can not only draw attention to environmental problems to the public, but also offer their own measures to solve environmental problems. In this regard, it becomes relevant to consider the participation of non-profit organizations in the implementation of environmental projects by attracting “green Finance”.

Wheat pasta is one of the most important cereal products and is becoming increasingly popular worldwide because of its convenience, simple formulation, long shelf life, and high energetic value. Wheat pasta is usually obtained from refined flour rich in carbohydrates but with low content of phytochemicals, micronutrients, and fibre. The increased demand of consumers for healthy foods has generated interest among both researchers and food producers in developing functional food products. This review showcases the current trends in pasta fortification. Changes in the nutritional value, cooking quality, sensory attributes, and antioxidant properties of durum and common wheat pasta enriched with both plant and animal raw materials are discussed.

Polyurethanes (PUs) are a significant group of polymeric materials that, due to their outstanding mechanical, chemical, and physical properties, are used in a wide range of applications. Conventionally, PUs are obtained in polyaddition reactions between diisocyanates and polyols. Due to the toxicity of isocyanate raw materials and their synthesis method utilizing phosgene, new cleaner synthetic routes for polyurethanes without using isocyanates have attracted increasing attention in recent years. Among different attempts to replace the conventional process, polyaddition of cyclic carbonates (CCs) and polyfunctional amines seems to be the most promising way to obtain non-isocyanate polyurethanes (NIPUs) or, more precisely, polyhydroxyurethanes (PHUs), while primary and secondary –OH groups are being formed alongside urethane linkages. Such an approach eliminates hazardous chemical compounds from the synthesis and leads to the fabrication of polymeric materials with unique and tunable properties. The main advantages include better chemical, mechanical, and thermal resistance, and the process itself is invulnerable to moisture, which is an essential technological feature. NIPUs can be modified via copolymerization or used as matrices to fabricate polymer composites with different additives, similar to their conventional counterparts. Hence, non-isocyanate polyurethanes are a new class of environmentally friendly polymeric materials. Many papers on the matter above have been published, including both original research and extensive reviews. However, they do not provide collected information on NIPU composites fabrication and processing. Hence, this review describes the latest progress in non-isocyanate polyurethane synthesis, modification, and finally processing. While focusing primarily on the carbonate/amine route, methods of obtaining NIPU are described, and their properties are presented. Ways of incorporating various compounds into NIPU matrices are characterized by the role of PHU materials in copolymeric materials or as an additive. Finally, diverse processing methods of non-isocyanate polyurethanes are presented, including electrospinning or 3D printing.

AbstractThis paper reviews 50 years of obsidian studies at Neolithic Çatalhöyük in the Konya plain, central Anatolia. A number of key issues are addressed: (1) the source of the site's raw materials, the means and forms by which the obsidian was introduced to the site and the role of Çatalhöyük in the supra-regional dissemination of these raw materials; (2) the alleged gender associations of certain obsidian goods in the burial record and beyond; (3) a more general consideration of the social significance of the circulation and consumption of obsidian at the site, including the phenomena of hoarding and gifting, plus the important role of projectiles in the creation of social identities and various forms of ritual behaviour, not least the termination of the life of a building/individual; (4) the technotypological and raw material variability through time; (5) the use of obsidian in daily practice and craft-working.

Evidence for both basket weaving and salt production is often elusive in the prehistoric archaeological record. An assemblage of Middle–Late Chalcolithic pottery from Provadia-Solnitsata in Bulgaria provides insight into these two different technologies and the relationship between them. The authors analyse sherds from vessels used in large-scale salt production, the bases of which bear the impression of woven mats. This analysis reveals the possible raw materials used in mat weaving at Provadia-Solnitsata and allows interpretation of the role of these mats in salt production at the site. The results illustrate how it is possible to see the ‘invisible’ material culture of prehistoric south-eastern Europe and its importance for production and consumption.
