Application of Extremophiles in Food Industries

Extremophiles have adapted themselves at extreme environmental conditions like high or low temperature, pH, salinity, and pressure. Extremophiles may be either acidophilic, alkaliphilic, halophilic, thermophilic, psychrophilic, oligotrophic, endolithic, and xerophilic. There extremozymes are found to be biocatalysts and producers of novel enzymes which can be employed in many industries like food, cosmetics, chemical, pharmaceuticals, etc. Currently the researchers have developed keen interest in studying and utilizing the abilities of these extremophiles in food industries. Metabolic pathways and extremozymes are being studied by the researchers and they are trying to utilize its characteristics and also engineer these extremophiles. In food industries, one of the extremophiles, Rhodothermus marinus, which has been an excellent biocatalyst producing lipase as an enzyme, could be utilized to improve to aroma of food and add natural flavour to food. So, the current chapter will deal with the various applications of these extremophiles.

Hadith is the second source in Islamic Law. As from the Start MUHAMMAD (SAW) forbid the companion to write Hadith but after some time the Holy Prophet gives permission. From the Start of giving protection to Hadith or Quran basically, we are seeing two types of methods one is to memories and the second one is in written form. After Companion, their followers have spread to different locations. In these locations, Kufa played a Vitol role . Followers of this area were taking a keen interest in this subject. For this purpose they make all the necessary arrangements for example build Madrassa and wrote the Hadith according to the rules of narrating (riwaya) and deep comprehension (diraya) of Prophetic statements. In this Research article, we will describe shortly the editing services of the followers of center Kufa. How they have followed the rules and what are their efforts in this subject.

The sanitary emergency and language teachers’ training needs in Italy

Language teaching represents one of the language sciences that can be regarded as applicative. The teaching of modern languages is a discipline that is intrinsically interconnected with other disciplines and, from the moment it was scientifically recognized on the epistemological level, it has been characterized by a keen interest and affinity towards the technologies. This essay showcases the results of a survey conducted on a sample of teachers on the effects of the pandemic on language teaching in Italy. L’emergenza sanitaria e i bisogni formativi dei docenti di lingua in Italia. La didattica delle lingue rappresenta una delle scienze del linguaggio di carattere applicativo. La glottodidattica inoltre è una disciplina interconnessa intimamente con altri campi del sapere e, fin dai primi momenti di autonomia sul piano dello statuto epistemologico, con la tecnologia. Questo contributo permette di analizzare i risultati di un’indagine condotta su un campione rappresentativo di insegnanti in merito agli effetti della pandemia sull’insegnamento delle lingue in Italia.

INSIGHT INTO ANTIMICROBIC EVALUATION TECHNIQUES AND THEIR ROLE IN BETTER ASSESSMENT OF ANTIMICROBIC AGENTS: A REVIEW

At present, researchers have a keen interest in creating advanced antimicrobic agents to overcome microbial resistance from various new sources either from plants or microbes. For this, robust attention has been given to the advancement in the rapid antimicrobic assessment strategies and methods to develop antimicrobic agents. Some of the antimicrobic techniques such as well diffusion using broth and agar and disc diffusion are more prominent in assaying antimicrobial testing while techniques such as bioluminescence, flow cytofluorometry methods are less used due to specific equipment’s, high calibration and evaluation processes. Thus, the information of precise antimicrobial techniques is must to the new researchers for antimicrobic testing. In this review article, various antimicrobic techniques with their advantages and limitations are being reported which are currently being carried out for antimicrobial testing.

THE NEED FOR ENTREPRENEURSHIP AWARENESS TO BECOME AN ENTREPRENEUR! A CASE STUDY ON EMPOWERMENT OF ENTREPRENEURIAL ATTRIBUTES OF STUDENTS FROM A PRIVATE INSTITUTION OF HIGHER LEARNING

The entrepreneurial element has now emerged as one of the important pillars in designing appropriate attributes and structures of the academic curriculum covering varied disciplines in all fields of studies in Malaysia’s higher education institutions. This study was conducted in Perlis’s Islamic University College (KUIPs) campus aimed at understanding these attributes and the entrepreneurship cultural awareness of students’ in initiating and identifying appropriate entrepreneurial activities before completing their studies. The study was qualitative in nature involving a group of 20 students randomly chosen from four (4) faculties in KUIPs. Students were interviewed using instant message routes because of the restrictions imposed by authorities in addressing concerns a rising from the COVID 19 pandemic, where face-to-face interviews were disallowed due to health and security factors. The objectives of this study were 1) What are the factors that encourage students to become entrepreneurs on campus? and 2) What are the constraints facing students in becoming entrepreneurs on campus? The results of the study found that there were 3 main factors attributing to students’ keen interest to venture into entrepreneurial activities in KUIPs, namely a) keen interest to initiate own business and aspiring to be an entrepreneur after graduation, b) meeting students’ basic needs (social entrepreneurship), and c) able to earn extra income to defray living and study expenses. There were 3 constraints discovered in becoming entrepreneurs, namely a) Capital, b) Suitable Location, and c) Business Skills to start entrepreneurial activities (entrepreneurial knowledge/skills). The results of this study are most beneficial to those involved in the management of entrepreneurial affairs of students, students themselves, and lastly for the Faculty of Business and Management Sciences in KUIPs (in understanding the current attributes and constraints), there by enabling the faculty to design appropriate entrepreneurship programs and activities in order to nurture and create entrepreneurship cultural awareness for future students.

Byron’s Spanish Afterlives: Emilio Castelar’s Vida de Lord Byron

This article examines Emilio Castelar’s Vida de Lord Byron (1873), the first Spanish biography of Byron. Borrowing most information from Moore’s and, especially, Lescure’s biographies of the poet, Castelar provides an apologetic and over-romantic portrait of Byron, in which he tries to reconstruct his private life and inner self, depicting him as a tragic hero who, despite his excesses, should be recognised as a universal genius. Castelar’s biography, which became an immediate success, illustrates the keen interest that Byron still aroused in Spain in the late nineteenth century and it deserves to be considered in the study of Spanish Byronism, a cultural phenomenon that includes but should not be limited to the literary reception of his poetry.

SIBERIAN STEPPE IN MODERN AESTHETIC PRACTICES (KONSTANTIN BALMONT – MARINA TSVETAEVA)

Statement of the problem. The problems of the article are addressed to the methods of cultural development of the vast Siberian steppes in Russian modernism, to the methods of overcoming cultural entropy. The purpose of the article is to describe the parameters of the “steppe” texts by M. Tsvetaeva and K. Balmont, to identify their cultural genealogy. Review of scientific literature on the problem is associated with solving specific problems: identifying ways of authorizing the Siberian text in the poetics of a particular author (works by A. Smith, E. Korkina, and V. Marosha). Research results. The article is devoted to the Siberian texts by K. Balmont and M. Tsvetaeva. In the collection of works by Balmont entitled “Blue Horseshoe. Poems about Siberia”, the perception of the Siberian steppes is built around the concepts of “distance”, “width”, and “freedom”, characteristic of Balmont’s poetry, in principle. In Tsvetaeva’s poem “Siberia”, the steppe theme appears twice: in the exposition of the poem, and also in the second part (the image of the Barabinsk steppe). The sources of Tsvetaeva’s steppe imagery can be considered her individual perception Blok’s “Scythianism”, her direct empirical experience of experiencing the Crimean steppes, as well as her keen interest in the Eurasian theory at the time of writing the poem. Conclusions. Spatial entropy does not become an obstacle for an artist of the modernist formation in the cultural development of space. Each poet creates his own image of the Siberian steppes, based on the available poetic tools, synthesizing creative methods.

The (In)Elasticity of Moral Ignorance

Ignorance enables individuals to act immorally. This is well known in policy circles, in which there is keen interest in lowering moral ignorance. In this paper, we study how the demand for moral ignorance responds to monetary incentives and how the demand curve for ignorance reacts to social norm messages. We propose a simple behavioral model in which individuals suffer moral costs when behaving selfishly in the face of moral information. In several experiments, we find that moral ignorance decreases by more than 30 percentage points with small monetary incentives, but we find no significant change with social norm messages, and we document strong persistence of ignorance across moral contexts. Our findings indicate that rather simple messaging interventions may have limited effects on ignorance. In contrast, changes in incentives could be highly effective. This paper was accepted by Yan Chen, behavioral economics and decision analysis.

"Beautiful External Life to Watch and Ponder": Katherine Mansfield Confronting the Material

<p>Throughout her famously short, disrupted career, Katherine Mansfield chased the idea of "warm, eager living life,"attempting to translate this vivid experience of being in the world into fiction. This passage, written in late 1922, shows the author focusing on her fascination with vivid, personal interaction with the material world. Mansfield convinces herself that the pursuit of "warm, eager living life" and the experience of submerging herself in it - "to be rooted in life" - is what she must strive for once she regains her health. Unfortunately, Mansfield's health declined steadily after this passage was written, and she died at the Institute for the Harmonious Development of Man in Fontainebleau on the 9th of January, 1923. In addition to various personal possessions, Mansfield left behind a host of written material: personal letters, journal entries and jottings, drafts of stories and poems, and published volumes, which document her attempts at submerging herself in a vividly experienced life. Her stories full of characters self-consciously attempting to anchor their vague and variable identities in the material world, graphic sensory detail, and ambiguous imagery register Mansfield's determination to describe exquisite, sensible life. Throughout the writing, she displays a keen interest in and fixation on the material world. Mansfield's colonial childhood, her preference for luxury, her feelings of disunity and dividedness, and the fleetingness of her life made more poignant by various levels and types of consumption inform her piercing awareness of the material world. Critical attention to the materiality of Mansfield's writing highlights that this writer, so determined to be "rooted in life," documents everywhere the frail but persistent efforts of characters to find substance in the ephemeral and attach changeable selves to things.</p>
