Sensory Evaluation of Biscuits Prepared with Flour Alternatives
No full textBackground: Flour plays an important role in structure for baked products. Celiac disease, wheat allergy, and/or gluten intolerance force people to find alternatives to still enjoy many food products.
Objective: To evaluate the differences in textures and flavor that different types of gluten-free flour would produce, comparing them to a regular biscuit made up of all-purpose flour.
Methods: Biscuit variations were prepared using regular all-purpose flour (control), all-purpose gluten-free blend, almond flour, and coconut flour. A subjective sensory evaluation was conducted. The participants consisted of students and faculty who happened to be in Jones Science Center at Ouachita Baptist University (DBU) on February 24, 2022, 11 AM - 12 PM. Descriptive statistic, ANOVA, and Post Hoc comparisons were computed in Microsoft Excel®.
Results: One-way analysis of variance (AN OVA) of F (3,82) reached significance, p\u3c0.001, on all characteristics evaluated. Comparing frequency and average scores, gluten-free blend has the lowest differences in the numerical value to all purpose flour regarding surface contour, interior color, flakiness, density, flavor, and aftertaste. Regarding crust color, coconut flour biscuits had the lowest difference of numerical value to the control biscuit.
Conclusion: Biscuits made with gluten-free blend flour had the best resemblance to a regular biscuit on the texture and flavor. The blend is a good alternative to use if switching to a gluten-free diet, while other nutrients could be attained with a balanced diet

The Effects of COVID-19 on Childhood Obesity: A Quasi-Systematic Review
Get PDFBackground: Childhood obesity has been an ongoing public health concern through the years. As a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, schools went online causing changes in diet and physical activity of children. Children had a higher sedentary lifestyle than usual causing a decline of physical activity. This led to an increase on the prevalence of childhood obesity.
Objective: The purpose of this research was to determine the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on lifestyle changes in childhood obesity regarding nutrition status and physical activity.
Method: A quasi-systematic review was conducted. ProQuest, EbscoHost, PubMed and journals such as the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition and the International Journal of Obesity were utilized to collect data. A total of 70 scholarly journals were used to assess factors that had impacts on childhood obesity.
Results: Overall, there was an increase in childhood obesity. The four main factors were food intake, physical activity (PA), other health aspects, and school closures. A higher consumption of ultra-processed foods, snacking, and home-cooked meals was detected. There was an increase on sleep time and schedule, screen time (ST), and a decrease of PA. The closing of schools played a role on weight gain as a result of reduced movement.
Conclusion: Childhood obesity has increased as an effect of COVID-19. Negative lifestyles were developed such as an increase of sedentary behaviors and unhealthy eating patterns
Comparing Genetic Diversity Along Populations of Rock Sandpipers (Calidris ptilocnemis)
Get PDFRock Sandpipers (Calidris ptilocnemis) are a shorebird species only found in the North Pacific Basin (Ruthrauff, et al. 2019; Fig. 1, 2). There are four subspecies of Rock Sandpipers, C. p. couesi, C. p. quarta, C. p. tschuktschorum, and C. p. Ptilocnemis (Gibson & Withrow, 2015). Of these four subspecies, three have an overall conservation category of moderately high with a current unknown status and high biological vulnerability due to environmental disturbances (ACCS at UAA, 2018). The three subspecies compared for differences in their genetic diversity and population relatedness were C.p. couesi, C.p. tschuktschorum, and C.p. ptilocnemis. The subspecies differed in their primary migratory and breeding locations: C.p. couesi is found in the Aleutian Islands, C.p. tschuktschorum is found on the Seward Peninsula and Cold Bay, and C.p. ptilocnemis is found on the Pribilof Islands. The subspecies are further distinguished through their morphological differences among populations. C.p. ptilocnemis is of the greatest conservation size due to the differing population size of its two island populations
Sacred Spaces
No full textMy work is the embodiment of cold and detached, but can resonate with representation of the modern day, working class person. The cold and distantness comes from the minimalistic design and in color. Mundane, utilitarian objects, such as bricks and cinderblocks, are used by the working class, and brings me back to my upbringing and seeing these objects being used every day. These structures are also influenced by architects of the Roman Era that emphasizes the repeating arches. The arches allow the buildings to soften and welcome the audience in. With my sculptures I do not want to dictate what is felt by my audience only to help to find what these sculptures will spark within themselves. The therapeutic processes of building these structures are the main reason I have continued. Building has always been an outlet for me using my hands to get the materials to do exactly what I am wanting allows me to have more control over the process and the outcome then it would in painting and drawing
