The Level Of Nutritional Values On Kids Aged 4-6 Years Old Fed In The Preschools Of Pollog Region, Gafur Xhabiri, Era Bruçi, Sara Selimi

UBT International Conference

The period of preschool kids is between 4-6 years old. Kids of this age need to eat healthy, they firstly need to satisfy energetic needs then the needs of macronutrients and micronutrients following the given recommendations, from which they will improve some eating habits too.The study has been conducted on some public and private preschools on the Pollog region when kids aged 4-6 consume 75% of the daily food on which the study is based on.From the conducted analysis it has been proven that that the energy intake of the mentioned age is matching the normative which is around 1200 …

UBT International Conference

Proteases are group of enzymes that catalyze the hydrolysis of proteins, resulting in peptide and amino acid production. These are considered as commercially most significant among industrial enzymes, consisting about 60% of the total enzyme market. Proteases have wide areas of application in several industries like food, detergent, textile, pulp and paper, and pharmaceutical industries, as these offer environmentally benign, sustainable solutions to several challenges in the corresponding industry.Enzymes can be produced by plants, animals or microorganisms, yet the majority is produced by (recombinant) microorganisms, typically with modified features for high enzyme production. However, for e.g. food industry, the use …

Interaction Of Nanofibers With Epithelial Cells In The Digestive System, Agron Millaku

UBT International Conference

In this study, we provide the evidence of interaction of tungsten nanofibres (NF- WOx) with epithelial cells in the digestive tube of a test organism, woodlouse Porcellio Scaber studied by scanning electron microscopy (SEM). When the nanofibers enter the body through food, not all of them pass through the digestive system, without an interaction with the epithelial cells. The result has provided us that in some areas nanofibers can react with epithelial cells on the digestive tube very fast. The images which were taken in the treated samples through scanning electron microscopy and energy dispersive spectroscopy analysis clearly show such …

A Novel Tetracycline-Responsive Transgenic Mouse Strain For Skeletal Muscle-Specific Gene Expression, Masahiro Iwata, Davis A. Englund, Yuan Wen, Cory M. Dungan, Kevin A. Murach, Ivan Jose Vechetti Jr, Christopher B. Mobley, Charlotte A. Peterson, John J. Mccarthy

Department of Nutrition and Health Sciences: Faculty Publications

Background: The tetracycline-responsive system (Tet-ON/OFF) has proven to be a valuable tool for manipulating gene expression in an inducible, temporal, and tissue-specific manner. The purpose of this study was to create and characterize a new transgenic mouse strain utilizing the human skeletal muscle α-actin (HSA) promoter to drive skeletal muscle-specific expression of the reverse tetracycline transactivator (rtTA) gene which we have designated as the HSA-rtTA mouse. Methods: To confirm the HSA-rtTA mouse was capable of driving skeletal muscle-specific expression, we crossed the HSA-rtTA mouse with the tetracycline-responsive histone H2B-green fluorescent protein (H2B-GFP) transgenic mouse in order to label myonuclei. Results: …

B-2 Same-Sex Marriage And The Apocalyptic Consciousness Of Seventh-Day Adventism, David Hamstra

Celebration of Research and Creative Scholarship

Arguments made for and against affirming same-sex marriage in Seventh-day Adventism rely on typical moral background presuppositions about immanent and transcendent goods identified by Charles Taylor in his philosophical genealogy of A Secular Age. Arguments made only in terms of marriage’s immanent goods have the potential to diminish the plausibility of a uniquely Adventist way of imagining the transcendent: apocalyptic consciousness focused on the immanent/imminent restoration of Eden by Jesus Christ following the second coming. Comparing marriage to the this-worldly and next-worldly benefits of divergent Adventist Sabbath-keeping practices foregrounds the availability of immanentized moral presuppositions to make sense of …
