For centuries, wine has had a fundamental role in the culture and habits of different civilizations. Amongst numerous wine types that involve specific winemaking processes, fortified wines possess an added value and are greatly honored worldwide. This review comprises the description of the most important characteristics of the main worldwide fortified wines—Madeira, Port, Sherry, Muscat, and Vermouth—structured in three parts. The first part briefly describes the chemistry of wine flavor, the origin of typical aroma (primary, secondary and tertiary), and the influencing parameters during the winemaking process. The second part describes some specificities of worldwide fortified wine, highlighting the volatile composition with particular emphasis on aroma compounds. The third part reports the volatile composition of the most important fortified wines, including the principal characteristics, vinification process, the evolution of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) during the aging processes, and the most important odor descriptors. Given the worldwide popularity and the economic relevance of fortified wines, much research should be done to better understand accurately the reactions and mechanisms that occur in different stages of winemaking, mainly during the oxidative and thermal aging.

It is the goal of management to overcome and delete uncertainty. Uncertainty is seen as an obstacle and threat for successful management. However projects are full of uncertainty. Successful project management therefore aims to overcome and ideally delete uncertainty as far as possible. In project management, uncertainty and risk are often used synonymously. Current project management methodology contains only technics how to manage risk in projects. The assessment of risks is based on the precondition of stable conditions and the idea that the influencing parameters are known, assessable and calculable. Since more than 2,000 years it is the aim of the Western cultures to master the nature by natural sciences and mathematics. In the last three centuries of Modern Philosophy the perspective developed that analytical scientific know how (episteme) and technical skills (techne) can master any kind of complexity and risk. The third traditional Aristotelian competence, the practical wisdom (phronesis) however was perceived as not acknowledgeable.

ABSTRACTThis is the third edition of a book published at the beginning of the 80s. According to Mishara and his colleagues, as many studies in gerontology have been undertaken in the last decade as the previous 50 years. In order to update the last edition, the authors kept the same format as in the other editions. Leaving aside more recent studies showing the same conclusions as in the earlier editions, the authors instead added studies which present new elements or which possibly may invalidate or confirm ambiguous results from the past. The themes discussed are practically the same as in the previous edition. A new chapter was added on the use of medicines and drugs by the elderly. The chapters pertaining to death and grief are of particular interest. This book, although academic, has a flowing style and is a great added value to a library if the reader does not have any of the previous editions.

Plants are subjected to various types of environmental stresses throughout their lifecycle. It has been found that plants are able to communicate with the neighbouring plants under stress conditions through volatile organic compounds. These volatiles act as signals for the neighbouring plants thus preparing them for the upcoming stress, a phenomenon known as priming. So, the present study explores the effects of salt stress on cotton plants and the resultant induction of priming in the nearby plants. For this purpose, salt tolerant cotton (Gossypium hirsutum) variety was used. Two concentration levels, 100 mM, and 150 mM of salt were used to study the impacts of the stress. The experiment was divided into two steps for each treatment. In the first step, a set of plants (emitters) was given salt stress. The second set of plants (receivers) was placed adjacent to the stressed plants (emitters), while the third set of plants was placed separately as a control for both the treatments. Various physiological and morphological parameters were measured at the beginning and the end of the first step. In the second step, the receiver plants now termed as "primed" were given the same levels of stress while a new set of non-primed plants was placed near the primed plants. These non-primed plants were now treated with 100mM and 150mM of NaCl respectively and the results were compared. The results show that plants were able to get signals from neighbouring stressed plants. Plants responded by altering morphology and physiology to prepare themselves for future stress conditions.

Indonesia is the third largest world cocoa producer. For years, cocoa bean from Indonesia has been exporter as raw beans. Domestic cocoa manufacturing industry is still dominated by international companies such as Nestle, Marz, JB Cocoa Malaysia, and others than domestic small and medium enterprise. This condition shows that value added of cocoa processing have not yet accepted by local entrepreneurs. Nowadays, most of the small and medium enterprise produce intermediate and compound chocolate products with low use of cocoa butter volume in proportion. Then, those intermediate products would be exported and will be reimported again by Indonesia as final product. Pipiltin Cocoa is the only small-scale natural chocolate producer in Indonesia using local cocoa bean from Bali and Aceh. This research focuses on value added analysis of bar chocolate in Pipiltin Cocoa produce which is important to conduct in order to know the added value made from a domestic small-scale cocoa farm producing original cocoa products.

Objectives: The objective is to describe the informative value and the added value of a qualitative multiphase methodology in order to investigate the conceptions of children aged 6–11 on the determinants of health and cancer.Method: This article provides an analysis of the “Determ'Ados” research protocol, a qualitative study in human and social sciences, carried out with children aged 6–11 years. This protocol, organized in three phases, addresses in the first global health with the tool “e.Photoexpression©,” in the second questions and knowledge around the topic of cancer with the tool “QC” and in the third cancer again with the “Photonarration” tool. The methodology of this innovative, open and exploratory research protocol aims to collect data relating to the experiences, declared practices and knowledge specific to each child who express themselves through photography and storytelling.Results: The analysis of the Déterm'Ados methodology reveals a density and richness of results among all the children interviewed, even among the youngest: 1,498 productions (4 productions per child) were made by 381 children resulting in a wealth of data available thanks to the multiphase protocol. This massive qualitative survey brings complementarity as the collection phases progress and guarantees continuity in the discourse of each child which allows them to deepen their conceptions and to know how they create or not meaning between the determinants of health and cancer.Perspectives: The density and quality of the proposals collected from the children reinforce the validity and rigor of the Determ'Ados methodology. Multiphase is the innovative aspect of the tools used. The e.Photoexpression© and the Photonarration are complementary and inseparable to bring out concepts on health and cancer. These research results, transferable into interventions and current practices, present prevention officers to act more effectively, closer to the conceptions and needs of children.

The interest in microalgae production deals with its role as the third generation of feedstock to recover renewable energy. Today, there is a need to analyze the ultimate research and advances in recovering the microalgae biomass from the culture medium. Therefore, this review brings the current research developments (over the last three years) in the field of harvesting microalgae using membrane-based technologies (including microfiltration, ultrafiltration and forward osmosis). Initially, the principles of membrane technologies are given to outline the main parameters influencing their operation. The main strategies adopted by the research community for the harvesting of microalgae using membranes are subsequently addressed, paying particular attention to the novel achievements made for improving filtration performance and alleviating fouling. Moreover, this contribution also gives an overview of the advantages of applying membrane technologies for the efficient extraction of the high added-value compounds in microalgae cells, such as lipids, proteins and carbohydrates, which together with the production of renewable biofuels could boost the development of more sustainable and cost-effective microalgae biorefineries.
