Killer Yeast: Gastronomic Conspiracy Theories And
FORUM FOR ANTHROPOLOGY AND CULTURE, 2016, NO. 12 KILLER YEAST: GASTRONOMIC CONSPIRACY THEORIES AND THE CULTURE OF MISTRUST IN MODERN RUSSIA Jeanne Kormina National Research University Higher School of Economics 16 Soyuza Pechatnikov Str., St Petersburg, Russia [email protected] A b s t r a c t: This article focuses on gastronomic fears that have spread in contemporary Russia within last decade, or more specifi cally, fears associated with the consumption of yeast bread. Shared by various social groups, from Orthodox fundamentalists to New Age sympathisers and secular middle class people, these social fears reveal the existence of a new culture of distrust in post-Soviet society. The object of distrust is represented by the State along with its institutions responsible for the production and control of knowledge, including science, medicine, education and the mass media. At the same time, the main object of fear is a loss of personal freedom, which is articulated as quality of life, health issues, and opportunities for self-improvement. This article argues that the culture of distrust is a by-product of an information society where instead of having limited access to information from mass-media, people question its accuracy, and have to defi ne or re-defi ne the criteria of its accuracy in their everyday routine. At the same time, the proliferation of the culture of distrust is a reaction to ‘risk situations’ (U. Beck) where the concept of risk is connected with the diversifi cation of knowledge in modern society which leaves customers incapable of estimating the level of threat that invisible and omnipresent enemies, like GMOs or yeasts, present. -

Poster Session
POSTER SESSION POSTER SESSION P-1 A Comparative Study of Sample Preparation Methods for 2D PAGE Analysis of Plant Tissue S. C. Carpentier, B. Panis and R. Swennen K.U.Leuven Department of Applied Plant Sciences, Laboratory of Tropical Crop Improvement, Leuven Belgium More and more genomes are being sequenced thereby generating a lot of useful information. Proteomics is seen as a necessary complement between the genomic sequence information and the actual protein population of a specific tissue, cell or cellular compartment. Post- translational modifications - critical for the understanding of the physiological protein function - can not be analysed based on nucleic acid sequences and changes in mRNA transcript levels do not automatically imply corresponding changes in protein amount or activity. Appropriate sample preparation is still one of the most critical steps in 2D electrophoresis and is absolutely essential for good results. Plant material does not provide a ready source of proteins for investigation by 2 D gel electrophoresis. Plant cells generally have a low protein content and contain high concentrations of proteases and other interfering compounds (e.g. salts, organic acids, phenolics, lignins, pigments, terpenes, etc…). Usually, sample preparation involves the removal of non-protein sample components, the complete dissociation of protein interactions and arrest of protease activity. The plant species under investigation, Musa spp (banana), is known to be exceptionally rich in polyphenolic compounds. Four different approaches were tested to extract total proteins: the common method TCA precipitation in acetone (i) without and (ii) with fractionation, (iii) extraction with phenol followed by precipitation with ammonium acetate and (iv) a no-precipitation extraction procedure with fractionation. -

Fake News Vs. Healthy Diet
Fake News vs. Healthy Diet Catarina Mafalda Barreiro Pestana de Vasconcelos Dissertation submitted as partial requirement to obtain the degree of Master in Business Administration Advisor: Prof. Dr. Renato Lopes da Costa, ISCTE Business School, Marketing, Operations and General Management Department September, 2019 Fake News vs Healthy Diet Acknowledgements Foremost, I would like to express my sincere gratitude to my advisor, Professor Dr. Renato Costa, for his unconditional support and help during this thesis dissertation. His guidance was critical for the success of this journey, and I feel very honored to have received his valuable and experienced recommendations, furthermore Professor Dr. Renato Lopes da Costa was al- ways ready to help and patiently guided me throughout the thesis. I would also like to show my gratitude, to Dr. Lídia Tarré, Administrator at Gelpeixe, who suggested, during my master’s degree, the implementation of an academic work in her com- pany, which gave way to the theme of this thesis dissertation. Additionally, I need to thank Dr. Lídia Tarré, for introducing me to my advisor, Professor Dr. Renato Lopes da Costa. My sincere thanks also go to the nutritionist Filipa Abreu, who very diligently clarified all my technical uncertainties and a critical help during the interviews process. I am very grateful to my aunt, Dr. Joana Vasconcellos, who helped me with the language re- view. Despite holding an advanced certificate in English, English is not my mother tongue. Hence my aunt, for whom English is the second language, gave me a useful hand with the language challenge. Last, but not least, a deep thank you goes to my family, for all the support, inspiration and understanding during the master’s degree and thesis dissertation. -
