Organoleptic characteristics and nutritional value of roasted peanuts from the chain of hotel and restaurant complexes in Kiev region

Foods must contain all the nutrients necessary to maintain human health, development and life. These components include protein, fats, carbohydrates, vitamins, minerals and other biologically active substances, which must be in sufficient quantity and ensure the proper functioning of the body. One such food that contains significant amounts of nutrients is peanuts. Peanuts are a source of protein, carbohydrates, fats, fiber, trace elements and vitamins. The nutrients of the product are easily absorbed. The article presents the results of a study of the nutritional value of roasted salted peanuts of various manufacturers, which are used for consumption in hotel and restaurant complexes in the Kiev region. The studies were carried out in the laboratory of the State Research Control Institute of Veterinary Drugs and Feed Additives (Lviv). Nutritional value was determined according to different methods, which are intended for each indicator, and also used statistical methods. According to the research results, it was revealed that the content of moisture, protein, fat and fiber in peanuts Big Bo, Felix Peanuts and Cossack Slava ranges, respectively, in the range from 0.73 to 1.37 %, from 26.3 to 26.9, from 46.01 to 48.6 g/100 g of product and 3.56 to 3.92 %. According to organoleptic parameters, prototypes of peanuts from different manufacturers meet the standard requirements. Promising research is the study of trace elements in roasted salted peanuts from various manufacturers.

Family as a Redistributive Principle of the Welfare State. The Case of Germany

Family is one of the major principles of welfare state redistribution. It has, however, rarely been at the centre of welfare state research. This contribution intends to help remedy the research gap in family-related redistribution. By examining the German welfare state which is known to be both redistributive and family-oriented, we want to answer the question of how and how far the German welfare state institutionalises family as a redistributive principle. Our case-study of German welfare state regulations in terms of family is based on the tax-benefit microsimulation model EUROMOD and its Hypothetical Household Tool (HHoT). We differentiate 54 family forms to adequately reflect our three theoretical assumptions, which are: (1) redistributive logics differ across family forms, and in part markedly; (2) these differences are not the result of one coherent set of regulations, but of an interplay of partially contradictory regulations; (3) family as a redistributive principle manifests itself not only in terms of additional benefits to families, but also in terms of particular obligations of families to financially support family members before they are entitled to public support. These aspects have hardly been analysed before and combining them allows a clear evaluation of family-related redistribution.

Models of the Welfare State

IN 1990, Gøsta Esping-Andersen published The Three Worlds of Welfare Capitalism, a work which has turned out to be the single most important and decisive contribution to welfare state research in the past thirty to forty years. In essence, Esping-Andersen argued that we can observe systematic variation in the character of the developed welfare states of the West, which he grouped into three distinct welfare state models: a Scandinavian social democratic model, a conservative continental European model, and a liberal Anglo-Saxon model. This chapter provides a short description of Esping-Andersen’s three regimes; introduces a fourth, Southern European model, which will then be described in somewhat more detail; and outlines a historical and genealogical account of the development of all four models. Finally, the chapter briefly expands on the comparative perspective with a short discussion on whether the regime concept or the understanding of distinct welfare models can also be applied to other regions, such as Latin America and Asia.

Performance of Tank Mix Partners with Isoxaflutole Across the Cotton Belt

BASF Corporation has developed P-hydroxyphenylpyruvate dioxygenase (HPPD) inhibitor-resistant cotton and soybean that will allow growers to use isoxaflutole in future weed management programs. In 2019 and 2020, a multi-state research project was conducted non-crop to examine weed control following isoxaflutole applied preemergence alone and with a number of tank mix partners at high and low labeled rates. At 28 DAT, Palmer amaranth was controlled ≥95% at 6 of 7 locations with isoxaflutole plus the high rate of diuron or fluridone. These same combinations provided the greatest control 42 DAT at 4 of 7 locations. Where large crabgrass was present, isoxaflutole plus the high rate of diuron, fluridone, pendimethalin, or S-metolachlor or isoxaflutole plus the low rate of fluometuron controlled large crabgrass ≥95% in 2 of 3 locations 28 DAT. In 2 of 3 locations, isoxaflutole plus the high rate of pendimethalin or S-metolachlor improved large crabgrass control 42 DAT when compared to isoxaflutole alone. At 21 DAT, morningglory was controlled ≥95% at all locations with isoxaflutole plus the high rate of diuron and at 3 of 4 locations with isoxaflutole plus the high rate of fluometuron. At 42 DAT at all locations, isoxaflutole plus diuron or fluridone and isoxaflutole plus the high rate of fluometuron improved morningglory control compared to isoxaflutole alone. These results suggest that isoxaflutole applied preemergence alone or in tank mixture is efficacious on a number of cross-spectrum annual weeds in cotton and extended weed control may be achieved when isoxaflutole is tank mixed with a number of soil residual herbicides.

Political state and the dilemma of dignity, equality and freedom: Evidence from a sovereign state

Purpose: This study discusses the idea of political redefinition and its connection to dignity, freedom and equality in a sovereign state. This article concludes by briefly touching on some serious issues about sovereign communities that arise as a result of the fundamental dignity, freedom, and equality ideals of the sovereign state. Research methodology: The author decided to conduct theoretical research in a qualitative format using conceptual analysis as well as critical and rational argumentation. A deductive approach is used in reaching a prior opinion. Results: The sovereign state itself became the judge and restricted human dignity, equality and the freedom to contract by forcing citizens to make transfers they did not consent to and prohibiting certain private transactions on the sole pretext. Limitations: There are shortcomings in theoretical research, as the author used a deductive approach to conclude. Contribution: This study conceptualizes the proponents of a sovereign state to be drawn into the dilemma of dignity, freedom and equality.

Marks of Ownership of Russian Far Eastern Book Collectors in the Late 19th — Early 20th Centuries

The Russian pre-revolutionary book features many various provenance marks including marks of ownership. Such marks indicate that a particular item belongs to a particular owner. They can have forms of supralibros (or super ex-libris), ex-libris (or bookplates), book stamps, signatures and inscriptions. There are also “non-specific” ownership stamps and labels, which do not have indications of their book nature (such as phrases “from the books/library of...”, “ex-libris…”) and can be used on any objects. Usually these are word rubber stamps (rarely — labels) with a text consisting of a book owner’s name and occasionally some additional information (such as an owner’s address, title, etc.). In Russia, bibliophiles and bibliologists have been studying bookplates for about two centuries. However, there are still many blank spots in the history of the Russian bookplate. Regional book ownership marks are mostly unexplored. This article presents an attempt to describe and analyse book ownership marks of the Russian Far Eastern book owners. Studying of library holdings of 13 regional institutions and conducting bibliographic research allowed revealing 58 local marks of ownership (excluding signatures and inscriptions) that belonged to 23 local book collectors of the pre-revolutionary period. The study showed that they used all types of marks from supralibros to inscriptions, but mostly preferred the “non-specific” book stamps and super ex-libris. There was also established that the bookplate labels were particularly rare — the author discovered the only specimen in the Far Eastern State Research Library. The predominance of book stamps as marks of ownership can be explained by their multipurposeness, cheapness and easiness of manufacturing. Far Eastern book owners frequently used two or three different types of marks together on one book, for example, book stamp and supralibros, inscription and book stamp or supralibros and inscription, etc. Often one collector used several different stamps or supralibros: almost 40% of book collectors had two or three marks of ownership. At the same time, 11 of 23 book owners additionally marked their books with the inscriptions.

Long-term undiagnosed tuberous sclerosis

The article presents the history, etiology, pathogenesis and variability of the clinical picture of a rare genetic disease tuberous sclerosis. The clinical and laboratory criteria on the basis of which this diagnosis is made are described. Specialists of the Nizhny Novgorod Branch of the State Research Center of Dermatovenereology and Cosmetology, Ministry of Health of the Russian Federation carried out treatment and observation of the patient K. Patient was born in 1997, repeatedly turned to dermatologists in different cities of Russia with complaints about formations on the face, hands, legs and spots on the skin of the trunk that appeared in early childhood. The diagnosis was not confirmed. The doctors of the consultative and diagnostic center diagnosed with tuberous sclerosis based of four large and two small diagnostic criteria. Treatment of skin manifestations was carried out by laser destruction, it gave a good cosmetic effect. We recommended further examination by doctors of related specialties for identify lesions of other organs. This clinical case is of interest for dermatologists, because the described dermatosis is rarely found in everyday practice.
