Cooperatives, Agri-Tourism And Food Trails: Promoting Sustainable Food Systems In Le Marche, Italy, Daniela Monaldi, Brigit Ramsingh May 2020

Cooperatives, Agri-Tourism And Food Trails: Promoting Sustainable Food Systems In Le Marche, Italy, Daniela Monaldi, Brigit Ramsingh

Dublin Gastronomy Symposium

The growing recognition of the environmental and health costs of the post-war industrial-production food model has led to urgent calls globally to transition to more sustainable food systems (Lang and Heaseman, 2004; Willet et al., 2019). Future fixes or ‘innovations’ that are disruptive to the current model of food production have been proposed to address the challenge of achieving such ‘Great Food Transformation’ (Willet et al., 2019, p.448). Such disruptions toward sustainability can include, for example, alternative food networks or short food supply chains, a turn (or return) to local food or ‘glocalism’, refocusing on small-scale farming, emphasising biodiversity and …

Disrupting Culinary Education: Making A Case For A European Curriculum Framework For Culinary Higher Education, Sophie Dalton May 2020

Disrupting Culinary Education: Making A Case For A European Curriculum Framework For Culinary Higher Education, Sophie Dalton

Dublin Gastronomy Symposium

Culinary arts is a neglected social and life science, which has historically been treated as a hands-on discipline with little academic input. Over the past decade there has been an influx of research in the discipline, specifically in culinary education across the world. Culinary arts is often relegated to the tourism sector, which fails to take into account that the culinary arts permeate through society, economy, culture and politics. It is also commandeered by the health and wellness sector, which has a singular focus and does not take into account the breadth and richness of the discipline. The late twentieth …

Mild Acute Inflammation Does Not Impair Maintenance Of Blood Pressure During A Hypotensive Stimulus, Elizabeth C. Schroeder, Thessa I.M. Hilgenkamp, Wesley K. Lefferts, Bo Fernhall May 2020

Mild Acute Inflammation Does Not Impair Maintenance Of Blood Pressure During A Hypotensive Stimulus, Elizabeth C. Schroeder, Thessa I.M. Hilgenkamp, Wesley K. Lefferts, Bo Fernhall

Physical Therapy Faculty Research

Severe acute inflammation, such as sepsis, disrupts autonomic nervous system function and jeopardizes blood pressure regulation [1]. Acute hypotension under normal conditions stimulates baroreceptors to restore blood pressure by activating the sympathetic nervous system to increase heart rate and vasoconstrict peripheral vasculature. Severe acute experimental inflammation (endotoxin) blunts baroreflex-mediated increases in muscle sympathetic nerve activity during reductions in blood pressure and uncouples baroreflex control of heart rate [2]. Whether mild acute inflammation alters the ability to maintain blood pressure during a hypotensive challenge is less clear.


Ecology And Christian Education: How Sustainability Discourse And Theological Anthropology Inform Teaching Methods, Chad Rimmer May 2020

Ecology And Christian Education: How Sustainability Discourse And Theological Anthropology Inform Teaching Methods, Chad Rimmer

Consensus

This paper will sketch theoretical synergies between sustainability discourse and a Christian ecotheological approach to religious education, and point to pedagogical possibilities for bridging the two disciplines. Theology and natural science operate with certain anthropological assumptions. Those underlying anthropologies inform the teaching methods of environmental and religious education. Anthropologies that conceive of human being outside of ecological relationships are a root problem of our current ecological crisis. Many economic, political and social discourses colonize people from the land, particularly children, exacerbating the root causes of sustainability. This paper affirms that linking sustainability discourse and religious education is a way to …


A Chance For Success: Understanding How Latinx Students Make Meaning Of Federal Work-Study Employment, Raylea Danelle Rideau May 2020

A Chance For Success: Understanding How Latinx Students Make Meaning Of Federal Work-Study Employment, Raylea Danelle Rideau

LSU Doctoral Dissertations

Many students engage in Federal Work-Study as a means of additional income and part-time employment. However, few studies detail the program’s overall effectiveness and impact, especially from the perspectives of students of color. This qualitative study described, by way of multiple case study design, how Latinx students employed in at least one semester of an on-campus Federal Work-Study position make meaning of their employment experience. The researcher explored the varied experiences of six undergraduate Latina women employed through work-study through the theoretical lenses of happenstance, self-authorship, and career construction. Sources of evidence used for this study included interviews, documentation, written …

Effect Of Including Arachis Pintoi In Tropical Forages Diets Megathyrsus Maximus And Brachiaria Humidicola On In Vitro Methane Production, Diana Marcela Valencia Echavarría, Luis Alfonso Giraldo Valderrama, Alexandra Torres, Alejandra Marín Gomez

IGC Proceedings (1977-2023)

Ruminants have the capability to ferment structural carbohydrates found in forages and obtain from them a usable form of energy to produce high quality food, i.e milk and meat (Kamra et al., 2012). However, as a gaseous by-product from the enteric fermentation of those carbohydrates, methane is produced in a significant proportion, being considered as one of the most important greenhouse gases (GHG). In Colombian tropical livestock, inclusion of legumes in on poor quality grasses diets based have allowed an improvement of their nutritive quality, besides enteric methanogenesis reduction because their content of condensed tannins (CT); however, this is not …

Community Health Sciences

Background: Oshikhandass is a rural village in northern Pakistan where a 1989-1991 verbal autopsy study showed that diarrhea and pneumonia were the top causes of under-5 mortality. Intensive surveillance, active community health education and child health interventions were delivered in 1989-1996; here we assess improvements in under-5 mortality, diarrhea, and pneumonia over this period and 15 years later.
Methods: Two prospective open-cohort studies in Oshikhandass from 1989 to 1996 (Study 1) and 2011-2014 (Study 2) enrolled all children under age 60 months. Study staff trained using WHO guidelines, conducted weekly household surveillance and promoted knowledge on causes and management of …

Effect Of Selected Tanniniferous Leaves On In Vivo Enteric Methane Emission In Sheep, M. Saravanan, R. Bhatta, L. Baruah, P. K. Malik, N. Ravi

IGC Proceedings (1977-2023)

Concentration of methane is continuously increasing in atmosphere and now almost 155% (IPCC, 2007) more than that recorded during pre-industrial era. Livestock production is a major sector accountable for high methane emission into atmospheric pool. World’s livestock is contributing around 15% of total atmospheric methane on annual basis feeds (Moss et al., 2000). Additionally, methane emission from ruminants leads to a loss of 2 to 15% of the dietary energy (Holter and Young, 1992). Due to these two crucial issues, researchers are working tirelessly to find a suitable and effective way for enteric methane amelioration accompanied with minimal inputs. …


Methane Emission Estimated From Different Cattle Intake Data In Heifers Grazing A Tropical Pasture, José Augusto Imaz, O. Hernández, D. Dos Santos, A. Radrizzani, J. I. Arroquy May 2020

Methane Emission Estimated From Different Cattle Intake Data In Heifers Grazing A Tropical Pasture, José Augusto Imaz, O. Hernández, D. Dos Santos, A. Radrizzani, J. I. Arroquy

IGC Proceedings (1977-2023)

The quantification of methane (CH4) from enteric fermentation related to cattle diet is a useful tool to identify strategies to mitigate greenhouse gas emissions. This is even important in tropical and subtropical regions due to the lack of CH4 estimations in beef cattle, particularly from Bos Indicus breeds grazing tropical grasses (Kurihara et al., 1999). Several modelling approaches have been developed in order to predict CH4 emission. However, the use of these models has limitations associated with uncertainty information required such as feed intake (FI), composition of the selected diet and animal responses (Gonzalez et …
