Translational Design Of Yingdu Baba Lantern In Southern Fujian Gongtang Packaging From The Perspective Of Cultural Genes, Liu Yun, Huang Ying

Food and Machinery

To address current issues of insufficient cultural expression and design homogenization in the packaging design of intangible cultural heritage (ICH) foods in the southern Fujian region, this study takes the Yingdu Baba lantern, a national -level ICH item, as the research subject and Gongtang packaging design as the practical carrier. By introducing cultural gene theory, the core cultural factors of the Yingdu Baba lantern are identified and extracted from six dimensions:form, color, pattern, material, behavior, and semantics. A translation framework between cultural genes and packaging design elements is constructed, and corresponding design strategies are proposed. The framework is validated through …

Semantic System Construction And Visual Translation Of Hongshan Jade Culture In Food Packaging Design, Liu Yajuan, Ma Shiyu, Wang Xinyuan

Food and Machinery

With Hongshan jade culture as the core semantic resource, this study investigates the systematic semantic construction and visual expression paths of Hongshan jade culture in contemporary food packaging design. First, the foundation for extracting visual morphemes of Hongshan jade culture is established from three dimensions:cultural semantic structure, aesthetic characteristics, and digital technology support. On this basis, a five -stage semantic system encompassing "semantic extraction, form clustering, semantic reproduction, semantic refinement, and semantic imaging" is developed, through which the visual texts, behavioral texts, and spiritual texts of typical jade artifacts are distilled to achieve the visualized expression of cultural morphemes. Furthermore, …

Homogenization Dilemma And Corresponding Strategies Of Emotional Interaction In Digital Food Packaging Design, Zhao Chunyan

Food and Machinery

Currently, emotional interaction in digital food packaging design is increasingly homogenized, mainly manifested in the mechanical replication and sensory stacking of interactive forms, the superficial decoration and semantic vacuum of cultural symbols, and the fragmentation of user experience processes and emotional gaps. The reasons lie in design thinking that overly prioritizes a technology -centered orientation while failing to adequately embody emotional purposes, cultural symbols that remain at the level of appropriation rather than translation, and the neglect of the structural nature of the five elements of user experience. Grounded in foundational theories of design studies, this paper achieves closed -loop …

Jurnal Ilmu Ternak Universitas Padjadjaran

Waste from citronella grass (Cymbopogon nardus) distillation has potential as an alternative ruminant feed, but its utilization is limited by its high lignocellulosic content, which reduces digestibility. This study evaluated the effect of fermentation using different white-rot fungi (WRF) species on the in vitro fermentability and digestibility of citronella grass waste. A Completely Randomized Design with five treatments and four replicates was used: an uninoculated control, fermentation with Trametes versicolor, Phanerochaete chrysosporium, Lentinula edodes, and a T. versicolor plus P. chrysosporium consortium. The observed parameters included dry matter and organic matter digestibility, pH, ammonia (NH …

Investigating The Prevalence Of Human Papilloma Virus In A College-Aged Sample Group And Its Link To Sexual Behaviors And Attitudes, Gabriela Lewczyk, Eva Pollak, Phoebe Stryker, Samantha Hickey, Emily Moyer, Katelyn Ambrose, Alexander Knight, Rahjai Thomas, Adriana Burk, Paul E. Richardson

Journal of the South Carolina Academy of Science

Human Papilloma Virus (HPV) is the most common sexually transmitted infection (STI) in the United States, infecting up to 75% of sexually active individuals, with a prevalence rising significantly around age nineteen for oral and genital infections. Because the virus infects epithelial cells and is transmitted primarily through skin-to-skin contact, it is found mainly in the cervix, oral cavity, and on/within ones’ skin. While most of the 200+ HPV subtypes are benign and tend to self-clear within six months to two years, twelve of these strains are classified as high-risk oncogenic strains that drive malignant progression. Furthermore, HPV is linked …

The Structure And Regulatory Mechanism Of The Emrb Rna Motif In Lactobacillus Acidophilus, Isabella J. Mezzenga, Brian M. Lee

Journal of the South Carolina Academy of Science

Major facilitator superfamily (MFS) transporters aid bacteria in expelling toxic compounds such as antibiotics, bile acids, and other substances. Previous bioinformatic studies identified the emrB motif as a potential regulatory RNA element. In Lactobacillus, this RNA motif is generally found in the intergenic region upstream of an MFS transporter gene with homology to the emrB gene from Escherichia coli. Secondary structure predictions of the intergenic region were used to define the structural features of this RNA motif. The emrB motif comprises two hairpins, though inclusion of neighboring regions is predicted to stabilize alternative secondary structures. A potential rho independent terminator …

Development Of A Molecular Screen For Community-Based Hookworm Detection, Emma Weissmeier, Ava Hurley, Jackson Greenwold-Claiborne, Morgan Deeringer, Paul E. Richardson

Journal of the South Carolina Academy of Science

Hookworm disease, caused by Ancylostoma duodenale and Necator americanus, is a soil-transmitted infection affecting over 700 million people worldwide. Transmission occurs through direct skin contact with contaminated soil, leading to health consequences including iron-deficiency anemia, malnutrition, and long-term developmental impacts. The CCU Disease Hunters program developed a PCR-based environmental screen to detect hookworm DNA in soil samples before transmission reaches human or animal hosts. Initiated in response to a request from All 4 Paws Animal Rescue, this project established protocols for soil collection, DNA extraction, and molecular identification of hookworm using the cytochrome c oxidase (COI) and cytochrome b (COB) …

Laboratory Study Of A Waste Anesthetic Gas Mask Scavenging System To Reduce Airborne Pathogen Exposure For Health Care Workers In Post Anesthesia Care Units, Josh Horton, Trevor Lim, Andrew Kanach, John Moenning, James Mcglothlin, Bruce M. Applegate Sr.

HCA Healthcare Journal of Medicine

Introduction

A scavenging oxygen mask system (SOMS) utilizing house vacuum has been demonstrated to significantly reduce exposure of post anesthesia care unit (PACU) health care workers (HCWs) to waste anesthetic gases (WAGs). Therefore, it was proposed that the same system could also be used to protect HCWs in the PACU by reducing Infectious Respiratory Particles (IRPs) spread from patients who may harbor airborne infective pathogens, such as Mycobacterium tuberculosis, certain strains of influenza, and SARS-CoV-2.

Indonesian Journal of Public Health Nutrition (IJPHN)

Protein energy malnutrition (PEM) continues to be a critical problem in public health, especially in developing nations where sources of affordable nutrient-dense foods are unavailable. Plantain is one of the staple foods rich in carbohydrates but deficient in protein, while soybeans are protein-rich legumes. A blend of these local foods in composite flour will increase the nutritional value of plantain-based foods without compromising their sensory properties. The objective of this study was to formulate plantain-soy composite flour blends at various substitution rates and determine their composition and sensory characteristics. Unripe plantain and soybean were milled into flour and mixed in …
