Химические вещества, присутствующие в пищевых продуктах, вызывают все большее обществен-ное беспокойство в Камбодже. Мысль о том, что пища содержит остатки этих невидимых, но вредных для здоровья субстанций, утвердилась в умах. Различные пищевые страхи формируют новое коллективное воображаемое, и каждый старается выработать определенную стратегию, чтобы справиться с ними. На основании этнографического исследования среди горожан, сельско-хозяйственных производителей, продавцов риса и зелени, а также продавцов химикатов, прове-денного в период между июнем 2018 и мартом 2019 гг., мы проанализируем коллективное вооб-ражаемое о пищевых продуктах и формы приспособления, которые вырабатываются в ответ на пищевые страхи. Chemical substances in food is a source of growing concern in Cambodia. Despite the invisibility of these substances, the idea that food contains chemical residues harmful to health is gaining ground. A full range of food scares emerge. A new imaginary of food is spreading and everyone try to develop strategies to ar-range with the fear of being contaminated. Based on an ethnographic study conducted in Cambodia be-tween June 2018 and March 2019 with urban people, farmers, rice, fresh fruits, vegetables and input sellers, this article examines the collective imaginaries of food and the adaptations developed in response to the fear of being contaminated.

This paper applies the family lifecourse perspective to the lives of rural older women in the Midwestern United States based on the findings of the Rural Older Women’s Project, an ethnographic study of the daily lives and systems of support of 30 women. The focus is on the relationships with children, grandchildren, and parents if they are still living, of rural older women in central Minnesota. Three case studies are used to demonstrate the full range of circumstances. From those who are still actively providing support and assistance to their own parents, children, and grandchildren, to those who are primarily the recipients of care and support, to those who are unable to receive the necessary assistance from their family system. These variations are significant in terms of the ways in which each of them face the increasing needs which often come with ageing.

<p>La inocuidad de los alimentos de origen animal puede verse afectada por residuos de origen químico, lo que constituye un peligro para la salud pública. Las sustancias químicas están ligadas inevitablemente a las explotaciones ganaderas debido al uso de medicamentos para tratar infecciones, infestaciones parasitarias y en los procesos de limpieza y desinfección de utensilios, así como en el control de arvenses. Los residuos de origen químico en los alimentos de origen pecuario son indeseables puesto que pueden ser nocivos para el consumidor. En la actualidad, la presión de los consumidores para que se produzcan alimentos libres de residuos que atentan contra la salud de los seres humanos está jalonando en todo el mundo cambios en los modelos de producción agropecuarios que tienden al desarrollo de sistemas de producción más sostenibles. Si bien en Colombia los conocimientos sobre residualidad química en alimentos son escasos, se están haciendo esfuerzos para superar esta carencia en los sectores gubernamental, académico y de investigación, a fin de llevar al país a una situación favorable respecto de la inocuidad alimentaria que le permita enfrentar adecuadamente los desafíos que plantea el comercio internacional de alimentos. </p><p> </p><p><strong>Chemical residues in food from animal origin: problems and challenges for innocuous food in Colombia </strong></p><p>Innocuity from foods of animal origin can be affected by chemical residues, a potential hazard for public health.. Chemical substances are inevitable linked to cattle farming due to medications to treat infections, parasite infestation and clearing and disinfection processes of utensils, as well as weed controls. Chemical residues of animal origin are undesirable because the can be harmful to the consumer. At present, consumer pressure worldwide strives for residue free foods and are pushing for more sustainable agricultural production models. While its true that in Colombia knowledge of chemical residues in food is scarce, government, academia and research bodies are making efforts to fill this void, to bring the country to a favorable situation regarding food innocuity, and to be able to tackle barriers set up by the international food trade. </p>

Worldwide, the ectoparasitic mite varroa (Varroa destructor Anderson & Trueman) is potentially the main threatening parasite for Apis mellifera L. To find an alternative therapy for varroa and to limit the chemical residues in bee products, 27 bee colonies with their brood, were treated at 42°C for 12 to 480 minutes. All experimental colonies had 5-8 frames of brood and 10 frames of population (approximately 10.000 bees each colony). During the treatment the final temperature inside the hive varied from 42.3°C to 46.5°C. The effectiveness of hyperthermia to control the varroa population, depends on the duration of the therapy. When the time treatment was extended from 12 to 480 minutes, the falling mites ranged from 29.8% to 79.8%. A small number (4.7%) of dead mites was found in sealed brood after a 60-minute treatment, which gradually increased along with the treatment duration reaching 100% after 480 minutes. The use of the device irritated the bees but did not cause losses of honeybees, or excessive aggravation. Dead larvae inside sealed brood were observed when hyperthermia was applied for more than 120 minutes and increased along with the duration of heating. To our knowledge, in the presence of brood and adult bees, the hyperthermia method is used for the first time as alternative solution to limit the excessive use of chemical substances under field conditions. This method is proved to be most suitable for beekeepers with small amount of colonies.

Dysphagia is common in patients with dementia. Dysphagia occurs as a result of changes in the sensory and motor function of the swallow (Easterling, 2007). It is known that the central nervous system can undergo experience-dependent plasticity, even in those individuals with dementia (Park & Bischof, 2013). The purpose of this study was to explore whether or not the use of neuroplastic principles would improve the swallow motor plan and produce positive outcomes of a patient in severe cognitive decline. The disordered swallow motor plan was manipulated by focusing on a neuroplastic principles of frequency (repetition), velocity of movement (speed of presentation), reversibility (Use it or Lose it), specificity and adaptation, intensity (bolus size), and salience (Crary & Carnaby-Mann, 2008). After five therapeutic sessions, the patient progressed from holding solids in her mouth with decreased swallow initiation to independently consuming a regular diet with full range of liquids with no oral retention and no verbal cues.

The Ten Item Personality Inventory (TIPI; Gosling, Rentfrow, & Swann, 2003 ) is a widely used very brief measure of the Big Five personality dimensions. Oshio, Abe, and Cutrone (2012) have developed a Japanese version of the TIPI (TIPI-J), which demonstrated acceptable levels of reliability and validity. Until now, all studies examining the validity of the TIPI-J have been conducted in the Japanese language; this reliance on a single language raises concerns about the instrument’s content validity because the instrument could demonstrate reliability (e.g., retest) and some forms of validity (e.g., convergent) but still not capture the full range of the dimensions as originally conceptualized in English. Therefore, to test the content validity of the Japanese TIPI with respect to the original Big Five formulation, we examine the convergence between scores on the TIPI-J and scores on the English-language Big Five Inventory (i.e., the BFI-E), an instrument specifically designed to optimize Big Five content coverage. Two-hundred and twenty-eight Japanese undergraduate students, who were all learning English, completed the two instruments. The results of correlation analyses and structural equation modeling demonstrate the theorized congruence between the TIPI-J and the BFI-E, supporting the content validity of the TIPI-J.
