Labelling Assessment of Greek “Quality Label” Prepacked Cheeses as the Basis for a Branded Food Composition Database

A labelling assessment study of Greek prepacked “quality label” cheeses was conducted with a view to provide an overview of the whole category. In total, 158 prepacked products belonging to 19 “quality label” cheeses were identified in the Greek market. Among them, Feta had the highest share followed by Kasseri, Graviera Kritis, Kefalograviera and Ladotyri Mitilinis with 81, 16, 15, 11 and 9 products found in the market, respectively. For the rest of the 14 cheeses, the share was limited, ranging from 1 to 4. All labelling indications, nutritional information, claims and other labelling data were recorded and analysed in relation to their compliance against European food law requirements. The results of the analysis showed that for only 6 of the 19 cheeses, all products fully complied with EU labelling legislation. Among the 14 mandatory labelling requirements, the lowest overall compliance was observed for allergens declaration (65%). The analysis of the nutritional data showed a remarkable variability between cheeses and products. Differences in the nutritional characteristics were more pronounced among soft, semi-hard, hard and whey cheese. The above data were entered into an archival database. Application of global harmonisation and standardisation guidelines and tools lead to the initialisation of a branded food composition database (BFCD), conceptualising a specialised database for “quality label” foods.

Database Click Stream of E-commerce Functional

The availability of e-commerce functionality that suits for user needs in e-commerce applications will increase the sustainability of application usage and can provide benefits for its users. Many e-commerce applications have been developed, but based on the results of previous research, these e-commerce applications do not pay attention to the availability of functionality and its advantages in the application. A database design to store functional clickstream ecommerce is required to determine the number of features that users are accessing. Database application development is the activity of identifying real-world requirements, analyzing requirements, designing system data and functions, and then implementing operations in the system. The database life cycle method is used to build a database in this study. This research has produced a click stream database that has added functional attributes available in e-commerce, which are accessed by users. The results also show the addition of several tables that will facilitate the management of click stream data functionality from e-commerce applications.

From Text-based Genome, Population Variations, and Transcriptome Datafiles to SQLite Database and Web Application: A Bioinformatical Study on Alfalfa

In this study, a web database application with the Flask framework was developed to implement three types of queries and visualize the results over a bioinformatical dataset from Alfalfa (Medicago sativa). A backend SQLite database was constructed from genome FASTA, population variations, transcriptome, and annotation files with extensions ".fasta", ".gff", "vcf", ".annotate", etc. Further, a supplementary command-line-based Java application was also developed for faster access to the database without direct SQL programming. Overall, Python, Java, and HTML were the main programming languages used in this application. Those scripts and the development procedures are valuable for bioinformaticians to build online databases from similar raw datasets of other species.

A Linked-Data Method to Organize an XML Database for Mathematics Education

This paper presents work in progress to support fine-grained semantic relationships between mathematical concepts and educational resources. Can RDF ontologies and XML structure support a high-capacity database application for lesson planning, teaching, assessment, and tutoring?

The Milano Sforza Registers

The Mortorum Libri of Milano (1452-1801) represent the first register in Europe based on the daily recording of the dead and detailed information about the social ties of decease people.Mortorum Libri’s protocol is the first example of a monitoring and prevention chain based on ethical and juridical individual responsibility.The causes of death were codified according to the International Classification of Diseases (ICD-10) to relate the original classification with the present one.This study has a particular reference to the Registers of the 15th century and analyzes the mortality in 1480 as an example of the database application in epidemiology.
