Parusheva TEHS10.indd 4 11/28/2013 5:54:22 PM Acknowledgments 5 Acknowledgments Looking back to that adventure of chasing the authenticity of Bulgarian yoghurt I should say that writing a thesis is longue and not easy journey. That journey seems lonely and the way is not easy, but actually there are many extremely important actors that might remain hidden. I will like to offer my special thanks to those important people, without whom that dissertation would remain an unfinished project. This thesis would not have been possible without the support of my two super- visors, Ruth Oldenziel and Dobrinka Parusheva. They were the guiding light in that unpaved way. I am deeply grateful for their endless efforts of making me a bet- ter scientist and all precious advices of how a good academic research and thesis should be done. Teaching me of the state of the art was accompanied with their patience and support for which I will like to express my very great appreciation. I have learned to appreciate their criticism and to be less emotional about my work, but more self critical. Deepest gratitude to the Foundation for the History of Technology that sponsored by Eindhoven University of Technology started the program for PhD Students from Central, Eastern and Southeastern Europe. By accepting my proj- ect, the Foundation for the History of Technology provided me the opportunity to collaborate within the Tensions of Europe Network by participating in the sum- mer schools and conferences. That broadened my perspective and showed me the beauty of the history of technology. My sincere thanks go to Alexander Badenoch for helping my colleagues Emilya Karaboeva, Ivaylo Hristov, Jíra Janáč, and me to understand the key theories of history of technology and Eurointegration studies. He was a great mentor but also good friend, magnificent cook and singer. Another inspiriting environment was offered by the two summer schools that I have participated organized by the University of Tours and the European Institute for the History and Cultures of Food in Tours. I have learned much from the cooperation whit professors and other students dedicated their work to food studies. I cherish the many good com- ments I received that gave me a direction in a moment of desperation. The posi- tivism of that forum helped me to build confidence in my project and to find my scientific community among those people sharing the passion of studding food. TEHS10.indd 5 11/28/2013 5:54:23 PM 6 Producing Bulgarian Yoghurt Frank Schipper who joined me in that Parisian journey generously offered his company. I enjoyed our talks and diners but what I appreciate most was his encour- agement and support when my research in Bibliothèque nationale de France was not as successful as I expected. I am deeply indebted to my editors Val Kidd and Vitana Kostadinova. I highly appreciated their work as their editing improved the use of English in the manu- script and significantly improved the flow and comprehensibility of the text. I feel privileged to have the opportunity to interview Maria Kondratenko a key actor in my yoghurt story. It was honor to have the chance to learn about yoghurt production and export from such an expert. The taste of her home-made yoghurt, which she was so kind to offer me during one of the interviews, was something that made me think that, however, yoghurt is something that Bulgarians should be proud of. Julia Grigorova from the Dr. Stamen Grigoroff Foundation helped me by pro- viding the contact details of the key actors involved in yoghurt production and export. Thanks to these respondents, I have gained a deeper understanding in the process of Bulgarian type yoghurt’s production, export, and consumption. I would like to express my gratitude to Euromonitor International and Ivan Uzunov in particular, who provided precious statistic information regarding the yoghurt consumption in Europe and arranged a permission for me to use their market analyses on the Bulgarian yoghurt market. Two other generous people which I encountered during my research have pro- vided me with precious primary sources. The first is TheoS omsen, Duch anti- quarian book seller who gifted me with open heart a copy of Maya Bulgare ‒ a rare French book on Bulgarian yoghurt. The other is the German stamps collector Wolfgang Kunze who shared with me four of his stamps ‒ a form of an early twen- tieth century yoghurt advertisements. I want to thank Goran Stefanov, a master student at that time. During his research in Dubavo and Popovo villages he offered his help. I am grateful that he did not save time and energy and conducted several interviews with people. Those interviews became a valuable source of information for my yoghurt story. The support of my family and friends was a life-belt in many difficult moments, but they also admonished keeping reminding me that there is life besides the academic desk. Those people not related to the academia, were helping me in moments of failures giving me energy to keep researching and writing.

    Dinu L. et al./Scientific Papers: Animal Science and Biotechnologies, 2018, 51 (1) Antimicrobial Effect and Antibiotic Resistance of Lactic Acid Bacteria from some Commercial Dairy Products Laura-Dorina Dinu1, Silviu Ioan Babata1, Anca Nicoleta Ciurea1, Ana-Maria Lunita1 1University of Agronomic Sciences and Veterinary Medicine of Bucharest, Faculty of Biotechnology, 011464, Bucharest, Marasti Ave. 59, Romania Abstract Over the past few years lactic acid bacteria (LAB) have received considerable attention as probiotic commonly consumed in fermented foods, such as some yoghurts and fermented milk drinks, and claimed antimicrobial effects against different human pathogens. Therefore, the objective of the study was to investigate the antimicrobial activity of 24 commercial dairy products and the antibiotic resistance in LAB isolated from these products. The antimicrobial effect of commercial products on growth inhibition of Candida albicans and Salmonella enteritidis was investigated using disc diffusion method, while to test the antibiotic resistance of LAB isolated from dairy were used: ampicillin (SAM, 20 µg), amoxicillin (AMC, 30 µg), ciprofloxacin (CIP, 1 µg) and trimethroprim-sulfamethoxazole (STX, 25 µg). It was found that 8 fermented foods have antifungal activity and the highest effect was produced by Napolact Kefir and a probiotic yoghurt Leeb Vital Bio, but only 2 products (Covalact Sana, Danone Activia) maintained the antimicrobial effect in 7 days expired products. Covalact Sana, Napolact Sana Bio and Pilos (kefir and yoghurt) presented the highest antibacterial effect on Salmonella sp. strain. The study revealed high susceptibility of consortium LAB strains from tested dairy products to ampicillin. This preliminary research offers consumers supplementary information about the health benefits of some commercial dairy products.

Baars The Neurosciences Institute, 10640 John Jay Hopkins Dr., San Diego, CA 92121, United States Received 17 May 2004 Available online 25 November 2004 Abstract The life sciences in the 20th century were guided to a large extent by a reductionist program seeking to explain biological phenomena in terms of physics and chemistry. Two scientists who figured prominently in the establishment and dissemination of this program were Jacques Loeb in biology and Ivan P. Pavlov in psychological behaviorism. While neither succeeded in accounting for higher mental functions in physical- chemical terms, both adopted positions that reduced the problem of consciousness to the level of reflexes and associations. The intellectual origins of this view and the impediment to the study of consciousness as an object of inquiry in its own right that it may have imposed on peers, students, and those who followed is explored.

    Cells of the Nervous System

    3/23/2015 Nervous Systems | Principles of Biology from Nature Education contents Principles of Biology 126 Nervous Systems A flock of Canada geese use auditory and visual cues to maintain a V­ formation in flight. How are these animals able to respond so quickly to environmental cues? All animals possess neurons, cells that form a complex network capable of transmitting and receiving signals. This neural network forms the nervous system. The nervous system coordinates the movement and internal physiology of an organism, as well as its decision­making and behavior. In all but the simplest animals, neurons are bundled into nerves that facilitate signal transmission. More complex animals have a central nervous system (CNS) that includes the brain and nerve cords. Vertebrates also have a peripheral nervous system (PNS) that transmits signals between the body and the CNS. Cells of the Nervous System Structure of the neuron. Figure 1 shows the general structure of a neuron. The organelles and nucleus of a neuron are contained in a large central structure called the cell body, or soma. Most nerve cells also have multiple dendrites in addition to the cell body. Dendrites are short, branched extensions that receive signals from other neurons. Each neuron also has a single axon, a long extension that transmits signals to other cells. The point of attachment of the axon to the cell body is called the axon hillock. The other end of the axon is usually branched, and each branch ends in a synaptic terminal. The synaptic terminal forms a synapse, or junction, with another cell.

  • Middle Eastern Cuisine

    Middle Eastern Cuisine

    MIDDLE EASTERN CUISINE The term Middle Eastern cuisine refers to the various cuisines of the Middle East. Despite their similarities, there are considerable differences in climate and culture, so that the term is not particularly useful. Commonly used ingredients include pitas, honey, sesame seeds, sumac, chickpeas, mint and parsley. The Middle Eastern cuisines include: Arab cuisine Armenian cuisine Cuisine of Azerbaijan Assyrian cuisine Cypriot cuisine Egyptian cuisine Israeli cuisine Iraqi cuisine Iranian (Persian) cuisine Lebanese cuisine Palestinian cuisine Somali cuisine Syrian cuisine Turkish cuisine Yemeni cuisine ARAB CUISINE Arab cuisine is defined as the various regional cuisines spanning the Arab World from Iraq to Morocco to Somalia to Yemen, and incorporating Levantine, Egyptian and others. It has also been influenced to a degree by the cuisines of Turkey, Pakistan, Iran, India, the Berbers and other cultures of the peoples of the region before the cultural Arabization brought by genealogical Arabians during the Arabian Muslim conquests. HISTORY Originally, the Arabs of the Arabian Peninsula relied heavily on a diet of dates, wheat, barley, rice and meat, with little variety, with a heavy emphasis on yogurt products, such as labneh (yoghurt without butterfat). As the indigenous Semitic people of the peninsula wandered, so did their tastes and favored ingredients. There is a strong emphasis on the following items in Arabian cuisine: 1. Meat: lamb and chicken are the most used, beef and camel are also used to a lesser degree, other poultry is used in some regions, and, in coastal areas, fish. Pork is not commonly eaten--for Muslim Arabs, it is both a cultural taboo as well as being prohibited under Islamic law; many Christian Arabs also avoid pork as they have never acquired a taste for it.
