The Travels Of Soda Bread: From Everyday Staple To Heritage Food, Lucy Long

Dublin Gastronomy Symposium

Soda bread, a class of quick breads using baking soda and usually buttermilk as the rising agents, is today firmly associated with Ireland. It is presented internationally in the food industry, cookbooks, and tourism materials, as embodying Irish history and culture. As such, it has come to be seen as a heritage food. Not surprisingly, its history and contemporary reality are more complicated, as is Irish cultural identity in general. Three geographic sites for this identity are the Republic of Ireland (Ireland), Northern Ireland (Ulster), and the U.S. Not only does the bread appear in different forms and play different …

Relish, Condiment, “Kitchen”: Bastions Of Irish Food Practice For Fourteen Hundred Years, John D. Mulcahy

Dublin Gastronomy Symposium

In his 2016 book “Early Irish Farming”, Kelly notes that we are blessed with a large amount of information about the food eaten by the early Irish and how it was cooked. He relies on that which resides in the Old Irish texts, especially the law-texts and sagas. Kelly’s sources make it clear that our core staple diet was bread and milk, supplemented by 'tarsunn' or “annlann” (Irish for relish, condiment), later known as “kitchen”. But what constituted a relish not only varied over the centuries but also according to who was doing the eating, so that in a rigorous …

School Leadership Support: Understanding The Experiences Of Elementary-Level Teachers During A Global Health Pandemic, Kathleen M. Crawford, Pamela Wells, Juliann Sergi Mcbrayer, Kristen N. Dickens, Katherine Fallon

School Leadership Review

The purpose of this study was to better understand how the current COVID-19 global health pandemic has professionally and emotionally impacted elementary-level teachers. Teachers experienced diverse challenges during this unprecedented time with a rapid shift from in-person to online learning. Two overarching themes emerged based on participant experiences: abandoning best practices and increased stress and emotional pain. Implications for practice included the need for school leaders to evaluate the current level of support being provided to teachers and assess areas of need to support professional and emotional growth with the backdrop of the pandemic. We encourage future research with all …

Back To The Future: The Artisan Food Producer In Ireland’S Food Tourism Proposition, Rebecca O'Flynn

Dublin Gastronomy Symposium

Artisan food producers are arguably more than the sum of their parts when it comes to the important role they play within Ireland’s food in tourism landscape.

On the one hand, both food and tourism as well as the artisan economy are forecasted to grow globally (Yeoman and McMahon-Beatte 2016, 95; Avent 2018; Polites 2020), suggesting that there is a significant role for artisan producers to play in food tourism in Ireland, compounded by a developing interest in local and sustainable food (Sage 2010). On the other, artisan food producers are both purveyors and preservers of food culture, heritage and …

Mobile Grounds: From Ambulant Café To Take Away Coffee, Nihal Bursa

Dublin Gastronomy Symposium

Humans’ desire to drink coffee several times a day as part of their everyday routine brought about the development of various ways to prepare and consume coffee on the move. Since coffee drinking has become an addiction, makeshift coffee corners and ambulant coffee sellers have provided fresh coffee at temporary spots in cities in addition to coffee houses; later, take away coffee in disposable cups has become another way to enjoy a cup of coffee. This paper aims to investigate the relationship between manners, tendencies of consuming coffee on the move and related material culture in the Turkish context. For …

Uyghur Cuisine And Identity: An Historical Overview Of A Discreet Diaspora, G. Randall Mcnamara

Dublin Gastronomy Symposium

This work reviews aspects of the disappearing Uyghur foodways since the founding of the People’s Republic of China in 1949 due to migrations, modernization, and now, cultural genocide. Turkic interconnections of culture, trade, and resettlement through the centuries mesh tightly with the Symposium theme of food and movement. The article holds no pretense to exhaustively catalog Uyghur foods or dishes as they can vary greatly within China and even more so throughout the Uyghur communities abroad. The author spent countless time cooking in kitchens and courtyards along the Silk Road in Central Asia and much of the information in the …

Are Exotic Food-Experiences A Form Of Eating On The Move At Home? Evidence From Two Culinary Magazines In The Long Eighties, Francesco D'Ausilio

Dublin Gastronomy Symposium

Exotic food-experiences become between the end of the 1970s and the first years of the 1990s (hereafter referred to as “the long eighties”) a way of self-expression related to the growing demand of consumers of venture and discovery of new culinary experiences. Two culinary magazines, Gourmet and PPC - Petits Propos Culinaires, are surveyed as potential evidence of the origins and characteristics of exotic cuisine in this historical period.

Preserving Irish Smoked Salmon: Food Producers, Cultural Heritage, And Environmental Conservation, Malia Guyer-Stevens

Dublin Gastronomy Symposium

This research argues that the bottom-up heritagization of smoked salmon by Irish smoked salmon producers is an integral piece in the movement to protect wild Atlantic salmon in Irish waters. Wild Atlantic salmon in Ireland have transformed over the centuries from mythological figure to luxury export, and today into national food heritage thanks to the efforts of smoked salmon producers. This designation transforms Irish salmon from a wild animal into a symbol of Ireland’s historic ties to their coastal regions, an embodiment of traditional food practices, and projects the fish’s importance into the future. However, wild Irish salmon face extinction …

'Thinking Outside The Box': Extending Our Analysis Of Surplus Food Movement, Perry Share, Michelle Share, Caitríona Delaney

Dublin Gastronomy Symposium

The concept of movement in relation to food can be applied in diverse ways, literally, but also as metaphor. Food waste, similarly, is an open and contested signifier. To bring the two concepts together, then, is a potentially complicated analytical exercise. Nevertheless, to think of food waste in terms of “movement” may be productive. This paper examines, in terms of movement, the activities of Irish community and voluntary organisations (CVOs), partners with an Irish-based NGO, FoodCloud, in the distribution of surplus food. These are examined within the context of the COVID19 pandemic in Ireland during 2020 and 2021. The paper …

Hemoglobin As A Predictor For Covid-19 Disease Severity, Nicholas Sarcia, Dan Thai, Andrea M. Bodine Md

Advances in Clinical Medical Research and Healthcare Delivery

Background: The dilemma of who is at highest risk for COVID-19 severe disease and death persists. Hemoglobin levels may be an indicator of COVID-19 disease severity. There is inconsistent data on Emergency Department (ED) hemoglobin levels and severity of disease. Our objective was to examine if COVID-19 patients presenting with abnormal hemoglobin levels have an increased risk of severe disease and in-hospital mortality.

Methods: We conducted a retrospective cohort study at Berkshire Medical Center in Pittsfield, MA to investigate the relationship of COVID-19 disease severity with hemoglobin level. Inclusion criteria consisted of ED patients over 18 years with …

Economics And Catholic Social Teaching: A Pedagogy Of Navigating Rationality, Self-Interest, Altruism, And Reciprocity, Joselito T. Sescon, Philip Arnold P. Tuaño, Rachel Joyce Marie O. Sanchez, Jaime A. Acevedo, Stephanie Ann Puen

Social Transformations Journal of the Global South

Proceeding from the dialogue between the tradition of Catholic social teaching (CST) and socio-economic development, this paper addresses the perceived irreconcilability of the neoclassical microeconomic model of rational self-interested individuals with that of the altruistic and sacrificing behavior called for by the Christian church. To confront this research problem, we present the challenging task of teaching economics in a Jesuit and Catholic university that consciously promotes Ignatian values and pedagogy. Highlighting the internal dialogue within the economics discipline on the differing views of self-interest versus community interest, we tackle how economic theory and application have arduously grappled with these two …

Ninety-six percent were African American; 55% were female, 39% were male, and 6% were transgender. Their mean age was 44.6 years (SD=15.9). Ninety-two percent had health insurance. Seventy-six …

Oral Drug Dosing Following Bariatric Surgery: General Concepts And Specific Dosing Advice, Jurjen S. Kingma, Desirée M. T. Burgers, Valerie M. Monpellier, Marinus J. Wiezer, Heleen J. Blussé Van Oud‐Alblas, Janelle D. Vaughns, Catherine M. T. Sherwin, Catherijne A. J. Knibbe

Pediatrics Faculty Publications

Bariatric or weight-loss surgery is a popular option for weight reduction. Depending on the surgical procedure, gastric changes like decreased transit time and volume and increased pH, decreased absorption surface in the small intestine, decreased exposure to bile acids and enterohepatic circulation, and decreased gastrointestinal transit time may be expected. In the years after bariatric surgery, patients will also substantially lose weight. As a result of these changes, the absorption, distribution, metabolism and/or elimination of drugs may be altered. The purpose of this article is to report the general influence of bariatric surgery on oral drug absorption, and to provide …

All horses were given intramuscular bromocriptine injections (0.1 mg/kg BW) every 3 days for 14 days. Before and after 14 days of treatment horses underwent a combined glucose-insulin tolerance test (CGIT) to assess insulin sensitivity and a feed …

Integration Of Sustainability Into Higher Education Policies: A Case Study Of The University Of South Florida, Mehmet Z. Apaydin

USF Tampa Graduate Theses and Dissertations

Sustainability and the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) are not new notions for higher education institutions (HEIs). However, well-organized efforts to make campuses "sustainable" are not common, and the efforts are modest compared to the institutional capabilities. This thesis, a case study of the University of South Florida (USF), was designed to explore how sustainability values and SDGs are incorporated into higher education policies. To accomplish this, the study employed a mixed method design that includes a literature review, an overview of policies and implementations, document content analysis, a program and course inventory, a keyword analysis, and semi-structured interviews. …

Design Of Self-Assembled Peptides For Wound Healing, Ka-Kyung Kim

Dissertations

According to the CDC, 15% of diabetic patients develop diabetic foot ulcers (DFU) and approximately 170,000 patients undergo non-traumatic amputation annually. DFU is a major complication of diabetes caused by non-healing full-thickness wounds through the dermis. The current treatments include blood sugar control, frequent debridement, offloading, moist wound care, infection treatment, and amputation. To achieve wound closure of DFU, appropriate wound care and antibiotic therapy are essential. Topical regimens include hydrocolloids, alginates, foam, silver-impregnated dressings, and hydrogels. Wound healing is a complex and dynamic interplay between the immune system, keratinocytes, and dermal cells (in case of cutaneous wound). Angiogenesis has …

Piceatannol, A Dietary Polyphenol, Alleviates Adipose Tissue Loss In Pre-Clinical Model Of Cancer-Associated Cachexia Via Lipolysis Inhibition, Jonathan C. Kershaw, Bennett D. Elzey, Xiao Xuan Guo, Kee Hong Kim

Department of Food Science Faculty Publications

Cancer-associated cachexia (CAC) is the nutrition-independent loss of lean muscle and adipose tissues, and results in reduced chemotherapy effectiveness and increased mortality. Preventing adipose loss is considered a key target in the early stages of cachexia. Lipolysis is considered the central driver of adipose loss in CAC. We recently found that piceatannol, but not its analogue resveratrol, exhibits an inhibitory effect on lipolysis. The objective of this study was to investigate the role of piceatannol in cancer-associated lipolysis and cachexia-induced weight loss. Cancer cellinduced lipolysis in adipocytes was stimulated using cancer-conditioned media (CCM) or co-culture with human pancreatic cancer cells …

Kesmas

Benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) is a severe illness affecting middle-aged and geriatric male patients. This disease normally occurs at the age of 40 or above and is also associated with sexual dysfunction. Alpha-blockers and 5α-reductase inhibitors are the preferred drugs practiced to treat BPH. However, invasive surgical therapy remains the gold standard for managing the condition in the case of refractory and intricate BPH conditions. Due to the fear of sexual dysfunction and the detrimental influence on their quality of life, most patients seek to avoid synthetic drugs and surgery. For this reason, several patients turn to phytotherapy and other …
