Abstract: The plausibility of image texture analysis to assess X-ray images of S. oryzae-infested rice after variable storage days (fresh, 45, 90, 135, 180 and 225 days) was investigated using an X-ray micro computed tomography instrument. Subsequently, image acquisition, pre-processing, and the extraction of the image textural features was done using volume graphics VGL 2.2 software. Morphological features (radius, diameter, volume, compactness, sphericity, defect volume, and voids) were extracted from the x, y, and z views of the rice grain and used as inputs for principal component analysis (PCA). Clear grouping was observed between the fresh, 45 and 225-day-old S. oryzae-infested rice grains with a classification accuracy of 88.34%. The voids (884 248.53 μm This work contributes to the potential use of image texture analysis to aid in distinguishing S. oryzae-infested rice grains from fresh rice grains. © 2019 Society of Chemical Industry.

Abstract: Cereal grains and nuts are represented as the economic backbone of many developed and developing countries. Kernels of cereal grains and nuts are prone to mold infection under high relative humidity and suitable temperature conditions in the field as well as storage conditions. Health risks caused by molds and their molecular metabolite mycotoxins are, therefore, important topics to investigate. Strict regulations have been developed by international trade regulatory bodies for the detection of mold growth and mycotoxin contamination across the food chain starting from the harvest to storage and consumption. Molds and aflatoxins are not evenly distributed over the bulk of grains, thus appropriate s ling for detection and quantification is crucial. Existing reference methods for mold and mycotoxin detection are destructive in nature as well as involve skilled labor and hazardous chemicals. Also, these methods cannot be used for inline sorting of the infected kernels. Thus, analytical methods have been extensively researched to develop the one that is more practical to be used in commercial detection and sorting processes. Among various analytical techniques, optical imaging and spectroscopic techniques are attracting growers’ attention for their potential of nondestructive and rapid inline identification and quantification of molds and mycotoxins in various food products. This review summarizes the recent application of rapid and nondestructive optical imaging and spectroscopic techniques, including digital color imaging, X‐ray imaging, near‐infrared spectroscopy, fluorescent, multispectral, and hyperspectral imaging. Advance chemometric techniques to identify very low‐level mold growth and mycotoxin contamination are also discussed. Benefits, limitations, and challenges of deploying these techniques in practice are also presented in this paper.

Abstract: Fuzzy controller artmap based algorithms via E-nose selective metal oxides sensor (MOS) data was applied for classification of S. oryzae infestation in rice grains. The screened defuzzified data of selective sensors was further applied to detect S. oryzae infested rice with PCA and MLR techniques. Reliability of data was cross validated with reference methods of protein and uric acid content. Out of 18 MOS, 6 sensors namely P30/2, P30/1, T30/1, P40/2, T70/2 and PA/2 showed maximum resistivity change. Defuzzified score of 62.17 for P30/2 and 59.33 for P30/1 MOS further confirmed validity studies of E-nose sensor response with reference methods. The PCA plots were able to classify up to 84.75% of rice with variable degree of S. oryzae infestation. The MLR values of predicted versus reference values of protein and uric acid content were found to be fitting with R

Abstract: The potential and practicality of FTNIR as a screening tool, with ward's algorithms, was performed for two different varieties of rice namely, 'badshah bhog' and 'swarna', followed by cluster, dendrogram, histogram, and conformity analysis with different storage periods (0-225) and insect infestation. Dendrogram analysis resulted in a clear differentiation between infested rice varieties with non-infested ones while hierarchical cluster analysis, lead to detection of different levels of infestations. Histograms analysis of averaged FTINR spectra of rice grains s les provided 100% classification between infested and non-infested s les. Dissimilarities between rice grains were calculated using Pearson's correlation coefficients which were further converted to D values, and heterogeneity among the different varieties of rice along with a different level of infestation was identified. The results further revealed that the percentage accuracy (%) of classification for badshah bhog varied from 93.10 to 98.84%, while that for the swarna rice was between 95.75 and 99.74%.

Abstract: Ozone is a highly oxidative gas that has a long history of safe use as a disinfectant and sanitizer from producers of pharmaceuticals and many other organic compounds. In the current work, disinfestation of stored wheat grain infested with a common insect, Rhyzopertha dominica, was attempted through ozone (O The optimized treatment conditions for ozone fumigation of stored wheat grain were 12% (w/w) grain moisture, 2.5 g m Ozone was found to be an effective reagent for disinfestation, aimed at all life stages of R. dominica in stored wheat grain, that leaves no residue behind. Rotational strategies can be applied to obtain increased mortality while maintaining the usability of the grain for different purposes. © 2019 Society of Chemical Industry.

Abstract: Crisis situations, including disasters, require urgent decisions, often without sufficient resources, including decisions about translating and interpreting. We argue that using citizen translators (i.e., translators without professional translator training) in such contexts can be ethically justified when their preparation incorporates virtue ethics. Translation potentially improves access to crucial safety information, and delivering such information is critical. We acknowledge several ethical challenges with citizen translation based on our experience in humanitarian contexts, relevant literature, and discussions with stakeholders engaged with our research consortium. Recourse to citizen translators has limitations, but we advance mitigation measures through training to address the ethical challenges of providing translation services to linguistically erse groups in crisis. We propose virtue ethics as a framework for citizen translators to develop ethical decision-making skills and virtues. We suggest virtue ethics training to prepare citizen translators for ethical challenges in the field.

Abstract: This paper highlights the important nexus between physical and mental health by examining a case concerning a patient with a lower spinal cord injury andmental illness who subsequently developed two pressure ulcers. It examines how clinicians can benefit from looking beyond typical assumptions when caring for an in idual with complex needs in the community setting. In such circumstances, the need for a holistic and collaborative approach to wound care is vital. This involves taking into account the in idual's mental health care needs, which can be overlooked in the first instance. Recommendations for clinical practice centre on involving the patient in his or her dietary, psychological and physical care, thereby helping to build resilience to any mental health problems and promoting a positive physical recovery

Abstract: The large and erse bodies of literature on refugee child and adolescent mental health have not been matched by a commensurate interest in help-seeking. Most help-seeking research has centred on Western and, to a lesser extent, non-refugee ethnic minority adult populations. An emerging child and adolescent help-seeking literature consistently reports widespread underutilization of mental health services by children in the general population. Current research and opinion suggest a similar trend for refugee and other ethnic minority children. While service underutilization appears to be an issue for all children, those from refugee backgrounds may be at increased risk of mental health problems and have greater difficulty accessing mental health care. From a policy and practice perspective, the most important explanation for low uptake of services by refugee families concerns an overall failure of Western mental health systems to accommodate the needs of ethnically erse populations in general and refugees in particular. In order to effectively plan for the mental health needs of refugee children and adolescents, Western host country governments need a clear understanding of help-seeking behaviour.
