Anti Oxidant

Chitosan-based edible coatings represent an eco-friendly and biologically safe preservative tool to reduce qualitative decay of fresh and ready-to-eat fruits during post-harvest life due to their lack of toxicity, biodegradability, film-forming properties, and antimicrobial actions. Chitosan-based coatings modulate or control oxidative stress maintaining in different manner the appropriate balance of reactive oxygen species (ROS) in fruit cells, by the interplay of pathways and enzymes involved in ROS production and the scavenging mechanisms which essentially constitute the basic ROS cycle. This review is carried out with the aim to provide comprehensive and updated over-view of the state of the art related to the effects of chitosan-based edible coatings on anti-oxidant systems, enzymatic and non-enzymatic, evaluating the induced oxidative damages during storage in whole and ready-to-eat fruits. All these aspects are broadly reviewed in this review, with particular emphasis on the literature published during the last five years.

Welcome to this Special Issue of tCBT. Our focus in this special edition of the journal is on supervision. Few would argue the vital role of supervision during CBT training and beyond to ensure treatment fidelity to evidence-based protocols. I would like to take this opportunity to thank Professors Derek Milne and Robert Reiser for kindly acting as guest editors. In addition, we are grateful for their fine contributions to the supervision literature in this particular edition of the journal. Thanks too to Professor Cory Newman from the tCBT editorial board for contributing to the overarching paper provided by Professors Milne and Reiser. Thanks also to all the authors for their fine contributions and to our reviewers who gave so generously of their time to comment on the submitted manuscripts. Our intention is to publish one Special Issue a year, next year we look forward to a special edition with a focus on ‘complexity’ with guest editors Dr Claire Lomax and Dr Stephen Barton from Newcastle University.

Opening Up

In today's modern world, creative expression is opening up new dimensions of business and new opportunities for economic development. One field of economic activities in which this is evident is tourism. Creativity in tourist destinations can be viewed in different ways, for example, through creative action (undertaken by destination management, residents, entrepreneurs, and tourists) and through creative spaces and creative events. Creativity plays a vital role in all elements involved in the creation of a destination's offering, regardless of which form of tourism is the focus of development efforts. Given the growing role of self-actualisation of individuals in society and the displaying of social status, creativity has in the past 20 years begun to positively impact on economy activities taking place in tourist destinations. Creativity is especially important in developing cultural tourism in all its sub-types, where it is seen as a means of animating and adding value to cultural heritage locations.

Global Agenda

Design for Sustainability is not the panacea we hoped it would be when it was first introduced in the latter part of the 20th century. Today, the health of both our environment and our societies is at a critical state, a breaking point, with piecemeal solutions offered as social-media-friendly rallying points, such as the European Parliament approved ban on single-use plastics, whilst fundamental, and arguably less ‘exciting’, issues such as loss of biodiversity, overpopulation, and climate change are shuffled to the back. It can be argued, however, that the awareness of the concept of sustainability and the need to reduce the negative human impact upon the environment and society has grown significantly and, consequently, has moved up the global agenda; this is evidenced by the 2015 United Nations Climate Change Conference. However, it is also clear that the role of Design for Sustainability within this agenda is not providing the solutions necessary to manifest the level of change required. Traditional approaches are not working. This Special Issue of Sustainability seeks to readdress this with eight papers that push the frontier of what Design for Sustainability could be—and possibly must be—across the broad spectrum of design disciplines.

The Impact

O presente dossiê tem como objetivo engajando profissionais e a sociedade para sustentabilidade e Patrimônios Futuros. Atividades que refletem sobre museus, patrimônio sensível, educação patrimonial, turismo, arqueologia contemporânea e métodos fazem parte desta edição Cadernos do LEPAARQ, Revista do Laboratório de Ensino e Pesquisa em Antropologia e Arqueologia da Universidade Federal de Pelotas (LEPAARQ-UFPEL). O objetivo aqui é apresentar como museus e atividades internacionais lidam com patrimônio aplicado em diversos contextos e como suas propostas de ações pedagógicas/museológicas podem ser orientadas para o futuro. Para além do impacto da covid-19 no patrimônio cultural (Saladino Muniz, 2020), o dossiê visa dialogar com perspectivas da arqueologia no contemporâneo (Gonzalez-Ruibal, 2006; Hamilakis, 2018; McAtackney McGuire, 2020) abordando engajamento para futuro global considerando o papel do patrimônio cultural (Harrison et al 2020, Holtorf Högberg, 2020), visões desde a América Latina (Muniz Almansa-Sánchez, 2020), interpretações dos patrimônios (Rampim et al 2020) e métodos educacionais (Petersson Holtorf, 2016) no contexto do patrimônio aplicado e por uma saúde planetária (Horton et. Al. 2014). The present special issue aims to engage professionals and society for sustainability and heritage futures. Activities that reflect on museums, sensitive heritage, heritage education, tourism, contemporary archaeology and methods are part of this edition of Cadernos do LEPAARQ - Journal of the Laboratory of Teaching and Research in Anthropology and Archaeology of the Federal University of Pelotas (LEPAARQ-UFPEL). The objective here is to present how museums and international activities deal with applied heritage in different contexts and how their proposals for pedagogical / museological actions can be oriented towards the future. In addition to the impact of covid-19 on cultural heritage (Saladino Muniz, 2020), the special issue aims to dialogue with perspectives on contemporary archaeology (Gonzalez-Ruibal, 2006; Hamilakis, 2018; McAtackney McGuire, 2020), addressing engagement for global futures considering the role of cultural heritage (Harrison et al 2020, Holtorf Högberg, 2020), visions from Latin America (Muniz Almansa-Sánchez, 2020), interpretations of heritage (Rampim et al 2020), contexts of segregation and educational methods (Petersson Holtorf, 2016) in the context of applied heritage and for planetary health (Horton et.

Abstract. In this special issue contribution, I provide a personal view on the role of bifurcation analysis of climate models in the development of a theory of climate system variability. The state-of-the-art of the methodology is shortly outlined and the main part of the paper deals with examples of what has been done and what has been learned. In addressing these issues, I will discuss the role of a hierarchy of climate models, concentrate on results for spatially extended (stochastic) models (having many degrees of freedom) and evaluate the importance of these results for a theory of climate system variability.

The cultural heritage plays an important role in determining the identity of any community, and the architectural output is at the forefront of this subject since it‟s the direct visual product of a cumulative result of the experience led by the communities within a given time and place which is compatible with the cultural structure and social life. From this point of view, the academic curriculum in many architectural schools tries to enhance the students‟ vision for the cultural heritage by introducing that heritage as a main source of inspiration in the creation of their design product. This comes in various ways, most of which are based on the employing of visual elements and external details showing their impact on the facades of the design projects as a blind repetition of that legacy, while some schools are investigating more deeply the ideology behind the production of that legacy and direct their students to study the deep structure of that heritage and reproduce it differently from previous to more contemporary architecture. The process of evaluating student‟s architectural products supports those approaches of inspiring heritage-based projects as those processes considered as an evaluating means for the outputs. One of the most important sources for those evaluations were students‟ project competitions and awards, which play a vital role in implicitly inspiring the cultural values of that heritage. Tamayouz Excellence Award for Graduation Projects stands on the head of these awards for the final stage output of Iraqi students. This paper aims to investigate the extent to which the academic output of the students' products which were chosen as a shortlist by (Tamayouz Excellence Award for Iraqi Students) can reflect the iconic, canonic, pragmatic, and analogy depiction of that heritage, and thus its ability to create a product with a deep local cultural vision. This is done by examining those output of several Iraqi architectural final stage students by analyzing those projects according to the structural elements that formulate their concepts, to point out those trends that help the promoting out values of identity within their works. The research found that the projects which inspire the heritage were not the most likely to run for the final positions. The reason for this lies in the superficial approach in which these projects dealt with the heritage values, and the local culture has been limited to the inspiration of the just formal elements without going deeply into the intellectual depth of that heritage
