This study evaluated the efficacy of reduced-temperature pasteurization in preserving the nutritional, sensory, and microbial integrity of two fruit juice products: a standard orange juice and a probiotic mango juice enriched with Lactiplantibacillus plantarum 299v, conducted at Österlenmejeriet AB in Lunnarp, a subsidiary of Danone. Laboratory-scale thermal treatments were applied at temperatures

BACKGROUND: Current health measurement instruments tend to measure aspects of ill-health rather than health in general. There is a need for a salutogenic perspective when describing health and developing a health measurement instrument. The aim of this article is to present the development process and quality assessment of a salutogenic health indicator scale. METHODS: A description of health, ema

Instruments related to work are commonly illuminated from an ill-health perspective. The need for a concise and useable instrument in workplace health promotion governed the aim of this paper which is to present the development process and quality assessment of the Work Experience Measurement Scale (WEMS). A survey, using a questionnaire based on established theories regarding work and health, and

Multiple sequence alignment is the foundation of many important applications in bioinformatics that aim at detecting functionally important regions, predicting protein structures, building phylogenetic trees etc. Although the automatic construction of a multiple sequence alignment for a set of remotely related sequences cause a very challenging and error-prone task, many downstream analyses still

How early can software quality be evaluated and how can it be done? As for quality requirements, several solutions have been proposed in the literature. In spite of the criticism, the ISO/IEC9126 standard has been widely adopted for software quality measurement throughout entire software development life-cycle. Other approaches usually focus on evaluating only some of the quality characteristics a

It is well-documented that male overweight and obesity causes endocrine disorders that might diminish the male reproductive capacity; however, reports have been conflicting regarding the influence of male body mass index (BMI) on semen quality and the outcome of assisted reproductive technology (ART). The aim of this study was to investigate whether increased male BMI affects sperm quality and the

The transition from batch-wise to integrated continuous manufacturing of biopharmaceuticals has gained significant attention over the past decade. While this concept has been thoroughly studied, there remains significant room for improvement in terms of process automation and real-time monitoring. This study showcases the implementation of an integrated downstream process at a lab scale, operating

The liquid argon calorimeter is a key component of the ATLAS detector installed at the CERN Large Hadron Collider. The primary purpose of this calorimeter is the measurement of electron and photon kinematic properties. It also provides a crucial input for measuring jets and missing transverse momentum. An advanced data monitoring procedure was designed to quickly identify issues that would affect

During the fertilisation process in plants, pollen tube growth rate may be selected as a trait important in male to male competition. Since female morphology provides the necessary selective arena for such competition. we investigate if sexual selection theory can be used to explain the evolution of pistil length as a female choice mechanism. This choice is performed by direct interference with ma
