Drinking water is safe water, from the perspective of long-term use is does not cause any disease, pathogenic and hygienically unsafe microorganisms do not spread in it and customers enjoy its consumption. Drinking water is regarded as a foodstuff, therefore the known HACCP system can be used in the control system which can be applied not only directly to the final product, but also to the whole system of drinking water production, distribution, and accumulation. Even if there is no problem concerning the water processing and the technological line is well adjusted, the quality of drinking water is subsequently deteriorated by its transportation and accumulation. The condition and character of the operated distribution network and reservoirs are significantly and substantially related to the maintenance of the biological stability and quality of drinking water. This is well confirmed by biological audits of the distribution networks and water reservoirs. A significant fact is the negative influence of the secondary contamination by air in the reservoir facilities and the occurrence of microorganisms (fungi, bacteria) in free water and in biofilms. The findings obtained in the framework of biological audits were so alarming that the outputs of biological audits contributed to the reconsideration of the efficiency of the standard for the construction and design of water reservoirs and pointed out the necessity of its review.

The quality of three muscles (supraspinatus, longissimus, semimembranosus) were studied in a group of 12 farmed fallow deer bucks (Dama dama) aged 28 months. The aim was to compare the selected quality traits of these muscles and to assess the extent to which these traits change after 14 days of being stored in vacuum packaging. Both the pH and the temperature were significantly affected by the muscle (P < 0.0001) and the time of storage (P < 0.0001). The supraspinatus muscle had the highest initial and final pH (pH0.5 h = 6.95; pH15d = 5.93), while m. semimembranosus showed the greatest drop in temperature (by 37.5°C) 24 h postmortem. The colour parameters differed among muscles. Only lightness (L*) was not influenced by the duration of storage (P = 0.081). The 14-day storage in a vacuum bag caused a decrease in the drip loss (P = 0.002), free water (%; P = 0.001), free water (cm2; P < 0.0001) and a cooking loss (P = 0.050). The duration of time in storage caused an increase in the dry-matter (P = 0.049) and crude-protein (P = 0.044) contents and a decrease of the water to protein ratio (W : CP; P = 0.014). There was a significant effect of muscle on the dry-matter (P < 0.0001) and crude-protein (P < 0.001) contents and W : CP (P < 0.0001). The highest contents of dry matter (P ≤ 0.01) and crude protein (P ≤ 0.01) were found in m. longissimus. The highest W : CP was observed in m. supraspinatus (W : CP24 h = 4.02; W/CP15d = 3.92). The results indicated a different technological quality of the analysed muscles, and, thus, a need to further explore the background of these differences in the early postmortem period and after meat maturation.

Tilapia Fillets

In this study, the pH, total volatile base nitrogen (TVB-N) amounts, total viable counts (TVC) of microbial flora, and the sensory quality of liquid-smoked tilapia fillets were analyzed under different storage conditions. Lengthy storage caused, the smoked flavor to disappear and juice seeped from the samples. Over time, it was found that the pH of the products decreased and then subsequently increased, whilst the amount of TVB-N showed an overall increasing trend. Under all storage conditions tested, the TVC of microbial flora slowly increased, followed by a sharp increase, and then stabilized. These results showed that vacuum-packed products stored at low temperatures were highly stable; hence this storage method can effectively guarantee the quality of liquid-smoked tilapia fillets and the extension of the shelf life.

Three cases of severe odontogenic infections due to nontuberculous mycobacteria (NTM) in Venezuela that were directly associated with dental procedures and the finding of dental unit waterlines (DUWLs) in dental offices that were colonized with mycobacteria species was the reason for assessing the water quality of DUWLs in dental offices in two capital cities in South America, namely, Quito and Caracas. The main water supplies and the water from 143 DUWLs in both cities were sampled and especially checked for contamination with NTM. To measure the overall bacteriological quality of the water also the presence of heterotrophic bacteria, coliform bacteria, and Pseudomonas was determined. Results showed that respectively 3% and 56% of the DUWLs in Quito and Caracas yielded NTM species (up to 1000 colony-forming units (CFU)/mL). Furthermore, high and unacceptable total viable counts of heterotrophic bacteria and/or coliform bacteria and Pseudomonas were detected in 73% of the samples. We conclude that, in both cities, the water in the majority of DUWLs was contaminated with NTM and other potential pathogens, presenting a risk to human health. The detection of NTM in DUWL water with acceptable heterotrophic bacteria counts shows the need to include NTM in water quality testing. Mycobacteria are more resistant to disinfection procedures than other types of vegetative bacteria, and most testing protocols for DUWLs do not assess mycobacteria and thus do not guarantee risk-free water.

Introduction:Mass gatherings attended by large crowds are an increasingly common feature of society. In parallel, an increased number of studies have been conducted to identify those variables that are associated with increased medical usage rates.Aim:To identify studies that developed and/or validated a statistical regression model predicting patient presentation rate (PPR) or transfer to hospital rate (TTHR) at mass gatherings.Methods:Prediction modeling studies from 6 databases were retained following systematic searching. Predictors for PPR and/or TTHR that were included in a multivariate regression model were selected for analysis. The GRADE methodology (Grades of Recommendation, Assessment, Development, and Evaluation) was used to assess the quality of evidence.Results:We identified 11 prediction modeling studies with a combined audience of >32 million people in >1500 mass gatherings. Eight cross-sectional studies developed a prediction model in a mixed audience of (spectator) sports events, music concerts, and public exhibitions. Statistically significant variables (p<0.05) to predict PPR and/or TTHR were as follows: accommodation (seated, boundaries, indoor/outdoor, maximum capacity, venue access), type of event, weather conditions (humidity, dew point, heat index), crowd size, day vs night, demographic variables (age/gender), sports event distance, level of competition, free water availability, and specific TTHR-predictive factors (injury status: number of patient presentations, type of injury). The quality of the evidence was considered as low. Three studies externally validated their model against existing models. Two validation studies showed a large underestimation of the predicted patients presentations or transports to hospital (67-81%) whereas one study overestimated these outcomes by 10-28%.Discussion:This systematic review identified a comprehensive list of relevant predictors which should be measured to develop and validate future models to predict medical usage at mass gatherings. This will further scientifically underpin more effective pre-event planning and resource provision.

The cementing process can determine successful oil well when producing oil to the surface. Planning the time required for the cement suspension to achieve consistency of 100 UC (unit of consistency) or thickening time and the maximum limit of water content used is the nature of cement slurry that affect the quality of cement. The addition of coconut shell charcoal with variation of heating temperature 400 0C, 500 0C, 600 0C, 700 0C, 800 0C, 900 0C to the basic cement was done in this study to determine the effect of heating temperature of coconut shell charcoal to thickening time and free water cement drilling. This experimental study uses an additive material derived from coconut shell charcoal. This experiment begins by preparing a cement sample with a coconut shell charcoal concentration of 1%. The coconut shell charcoal used has different heating temperatures of 400 0C, 500 0C, 600 0C, 700 0C, 800 0C, 900 0C. Suspense cement is made by mixing G grade cement, water, bentonite, CaCl2 and coconut shell charcoal. Thickening time test using atmospheric equipment consistometer and measuring cups used to determine the value of free water. The results showed that the thickening time and free water values ​​were influenced by the heating temperature of coconut shell charcoal. The higher coconut shell charcoal temperature used in the cement suspension make thickening time of the cement suspension becomes shorter. The optimum heating temperature of coconut shell charcoal is 700 0C with thickening time of 1 hour 38 seconds 52 seconds and free water 1.2 mL.

Radio frequency (RF) tempering has been proposed as a new alternative method for tempering frozen products because of its advantages of rapid and volumetric heating. In this study, the texture of RF-tempered frozen tilapia fillets was determined under different RF conditions, the effects of related factors on the texture were analyzed, and the mechanisms by which RF tempering affected the texture of the tempered fillets were evaluated. The results show that the springiness (from 0.84 mm to 0.79 mm), cohesiveness (from 0.64 mm to 0.57 mm), and resilience (from 0.33 mm to 0.25 mm) decreased as the electrode gap was increased and the power remained at 600 W, while the shear force increased as the power was increased for the 12 cm electrode gap (from 15.18 N to 16.98 N), and the myofibril fragmentation index (MFI) values were markedly higher at 600 W than at 300 W or 900 W (p < 0.05). In addition, the tempering uniformity had a positive effect on hardness and chewiness. The statistical analysis showed that the texture after RF tempering under different RF conditions correlated relatively strongly with the free water content, cooking loss, and migration of bound water to immobilized water. The decrease in free water and bound water migration to immobilized water resulted in a significant increase in cohesiveness and resilience.
