Native American Elders’ Perspectives On Death And Dying, Ji Hong, Stephenie M. Wescoup, Gul Nahar, Rockey Robbins Jul 2025

Native American Elders’ Perspectives On Death And Dying, Ji Hong, Stephenie M. Wescoup, Gul Nahar, Rockey Robbins

Journal of Indigenous Research

This article employs a qualitative method to facilitate the expression of 16 Native American elders about their feelings about aging and death. They discussed resentments, acceptance of their life experiences, the inevitability of death, participation in the natural re-cycling of nature, and hopes they had for Native Americans in future generations. Throughout the study, theoretical and empirical findings in the field of psychology and Native American literature are cited to help interpret the participants’ remarks. An extended clinical implications section may be helpful to practitioners.

The Calorimetric Electron Telescope (CALET), in operation on the International Space Station since 2015, collected a large sample of cosmic-ray (CR) iron and sub-iron events over a wide energy interval. In this Letter, we report an update of our previous measurement of the iron flux and we present-for the first time-a high statistics measurement of the spectra of two sub-iron elements Cr and Ti in the energy interval from 10 to 250  GeV/n. The analyses are based on 8 years of data. Differently from older generations of cosmic-ray instruments which, in most cases, could not resolve individual sub-iron elements, CALET …

［Objective］ To investigate the effect of complexes produced by protein -polyphenol interaction on the bioavailability of polyphenols and proteins.［Methods］ Rutin -casein complexes are prepared using rutin and casein as raw materials.Their physicochemical and structural properties are analyzed.［Results］］ The optimal preparation conditions for the rutin -casein complexes are determined as follows:mass ratio of rutin to casein =1.89∶1.00,reaction time of 5.94 h,pH 8.5,and temperature of 50 ℃.Under such conditions,the binding degree is 40.23%.Compared with casein,the complexes exhibit a decrease in emulsifying activity index (8.47 m2/g) and emulsifying stability (9.39%).The solubility increases by 5.11%,surface hydrophobicity is significantly enhanced,and antioxidant activity markedly improves (P<0.05).Scanning electron microscopy reveals that the rutin -casein complexes display a lamellar structure with smooth surfaces,which may contribute to its functional properties.Infrared spectroscopy demonstrates peak broadening and redshifts in the amide I and II bands,and fluorescence intensity (including synchronous fluorescence ) decreases due to fluorescence quenching.It indicates that rutin alters the secondary structure and conformational arrangement of casein.［Conclusion］ Compared with the uncomplexed casein,the rutin -casein complexes are enhanced in solubility,surface hydrophobicity,and antioxidant activity.引用格式：张楠，刘丽莉，杨乐，等.芦丁—酪蛋白复合物的制备及特性研究 ［J］.食品与机械，2025，41（7）：9-17.C itation:ZHANG Nan,LIU Lili,YANG Le,et al.Preparation and properties of rutin-casein complexes [J].Food & Machinery,2025,41(7):9-17.

Children’s Nutrition Research Center Staff Publications

Lung cancer remains the leading cause of cancer-related death globally, with metastasis driven by circulating tumor cells (CTCs)-particularly clusters-being a major treatment challenge. Despite their critical role, the biological differences between single CTCs and CTC clusters remain unclear. Here, we comprehensively compared their behavioral, transcriptomic, and proteomic profiles in lung cancer models. Compared with single cells, CTC clusters present enhanced metastatic potential, greater survival in the bloodstream and increased resistance to microenvironment. Mechanistically, the Src/FN1 pathway is centrally activated in clusters, promoting intercellular cohesion and protecting against immune clearance and stress in circulation. Pharmacological inhibition of Src with the clinical …

Design Of Food Packaging Of Time-Honored Brands In Beijing Based On Regional Cultural Characteristics, Wang Dangrong, Pei Chaojun Jul 2025

Design Of Food Packaging Of Time-Honored Brands In Beijing Based On Regional Cultural Characteristics, Wang Dangrong, Pei Chaojun

Food and Machinery

This paper examines the cultural connotations,existing problems,and innovative design paths of food packaging design for time -honored brands in Beijing,and explores how traditional brands can continue and innovate within the modern context.The findings reveal that the packaging of Beijing's time -honored food brands uses traditional symbols and regional iconic elements as carriers,using brand stories to convey cultural memory.However,issues such as serious homogenization,lack of personalization,a monotonous consumer experience,and limited social attributes hinder their ability to meet the multi -dimensional needs of younger consumers,including emotional resonance,interactive engagement,and practical functionality.To address these issues,the study proposes a three -tiered design strategy based on emotional …
