No full textAbstract
The condition of the Banggoi-Bula Road, in Eastern Seram Regency, is experiencing sinking damage, longitu-dinal cracks, and crocodile cracks. The aim of this research is to analyze the type and level of damage, design culverts, and determine the thickness of the pavement on the Banggoi-Bula Road Section. Determining the type of damage was carried out using the Pavement Condition Index method, culvert design using hydrological analysis, while determining the thickness of flexible pavement was carried out using the Pavement Design Manual 2017 method. After reviewing the condition of the road pavement surface that occurred on the Banggoi-Bula Road Section, it was concluded that the road damage conditions observed were at a moderate to very poor level. The culverts on this road section are designed to be 1.5 m wide and 1.8 m high. From the results of the road pavement analysis, the pavement design for the Banggoi-Bula Road Section was obtained, using a flexible type of pavement, with an AC-WC surface layer thickness of 40 mm, an AC-BC layer thickness of 60 mm, and the thickness of the class A foundation layer is 400 mm. Keywords: road; road damage; Pavement Condition Index; flexible pavement; culverts

Bula is the Fijian word for 'life' and serves as the ubiquitous greeting among Fijians. Diagnosis, distribution and biology. Pheidole bula is one of the smaller members of the P. roosevelti-group, and is endowed with modestly projecting spines and strong sculpturing. The species is most readily distinguished from its close relatives by the smooth and shining spaces between its facial rugae. While P. roosevelti and P. furcata both have facial rugoreticulum (majors) or rugae (minors) similar to P. bula, the interspaces between their rugae are filled with densely packed foveolae, giving them a duller appearance. The minor worker can be separated from all other minors of P. roosevelti-group by the strong sculpturing of the ventral surface of its head. While the rugoreticulate face of P. bula is similar to P. roosevelti, the small queen and morphometric measurements suggest closer relationship to P. furcata from Kadavu and P. colaensis, which also occurs on Mt. Tomanivi. Although P. colaensis was encountered with relative frequency throughout the higher elevations of Mt. Tomanivi (Fiji's tallest mountain), P bula was encountered only at the mountain's summit. The population of P. bula may therefore be in a precarious situation. With perhaps its closest extant relative occupying the lower elevations, and with no higher elevation to retreat to, it is possible that the current trends in climate change will consign P. bula to extinction in the near future.

Evaluation of ultrafiltration process for the valorization of phytonutrients in crude palm oil (E. oleifera × E. guineensis) for food application
No full textilustraciones, diagramas, fotografías, tablasLas deficiencias por micronutrientes, en especial por vitamina A, son frecuentes en algunas regiones del país y del mundo, especialmente durante la primera infancia donde una carencia de esta vitamina genera las tasas más altas de enfermedades y mortalidad en esta población. De acuerdo con la Organización Mundial de la Salud (OMS) y los resultados de la última Encuesta Nacional de Situación Nutricional (ENSIN), se estima que diariamente se requiere una ingesta de 300 µg y 800 µg equivalente en retinol (ER) de este micronutriente en población infantil y adultos, respectivamente. Este requerimiento no necesariamente logra cumplirse principalmente por los problemas de seguridad alimentaria que limitan el acceso a alimentos en donde este micronutriente se encuentra de manera natural. El aceite de palma crudo (E. oleifera x E. guineensis) es una de las fuentes vegetales con mayor aporte de fitonutrientes con actividad biológica, como carotenoides provitamina A y vitamina E. En consecuencia, esta materia prima se constituye como un valioso recurso nutricional, sobre todo, por su alta disponibilidad debido al actual posicionamiento del país como mayor productor de aceite de palma en América y el cuarto en mundo. Debido a las preferencias de los consumidores, el aceite de palma crudo se somete a un proceso de refinación, donde se retiran en mayor medida estos fitonutrientes beneficiosos. Para brindar una solución a este problema, a través de esta investigación se estudió un método alternativo para el aprovechar estos nutrientes, en este caso, a través del proceso de ultrafiltración con membranas poliméricas como una metodología verde que permite realizar el desgomado del aceite, conservando la concentración inicial de fitonutrientes y retirando parte de los compuestos que pueden generar sabores residuales desagradables en el aceite como los fosfátidos. De esta manera, habría mayor oportunidad para emplear el aceite de palma crudo dentro de la formulación de alimentos funcionales. Para desarrollar esta investigación, se realizó primeramente un muestreo de aceite de palma crudo O×G en tres plantas de beneficio de fruto, las cuales fueron caracterizadas químicamente con relación a la concentración de carotenoides, tocoferoles (Tocs) y tocotrienoles (T3s), obteniéndose aceites con rangos entre 604,12±3,85 mg/kg - 865,63 ±14,96 mg/kg de carotenoides totales y entre 381,36±3,92 mg/kg – 835,62±8,65 mg/kg de Tocs and T3s, permitiendo seleccionar la muestra con mayor contenido de estos compuestos y que posteriormente pudiera ser empleada para ensayos de ultrafiltración en donde se determinaron las condiciones adecuadas de desgomado empleando dos materiales de membrana: polietersulfona (PES) y fluoruro de polivinileno (PVDF) considerando como factores la presión transmembranaria (PTM) y la temperatura. Una vez obtenidas estas condiciones, se realizó un estudio de estabilidad del permeado de ultrafiltración (UF) frente al aceite de palma crudo (APC) como control. Una vez conocida la estabilidad de esta matriz oleosa, se realizó un acercamiento a posibles usos del UF través del desarrollo de un alimento horneado, mostrando una retención del 93,27±0,37% de los carotenoides y del 99,99±0,00% de Tocs y T3s posterior al horneado. Esta investigación fue el resultado del trabajo en conjunto entre plantas extractoras de aceite, destacadas por su producción de aceite crudo de palma O×G, la Corporación Centro de Investigación en Palma de Aceite – Cenipalma, Fedepalma y el Instituto de Ciencia y Tecnología de Alimentos (ICTA) de la Universidad Nacional de Colombia, logrando de esta manera, obtener inicialmente a escala laboratorio, en grado de madurez tecnológica-TRL4, el desarrollo de una estrategia innovadora que podría abrir a futuro una alternativa para la obtención de líneas de proceso en el gremio palmicultor para el aprovechamiento de los fitonutrientes de alto valor del aceite de palma crudo O×G (Texto tomado de la fuente).Micronutrient deficiencies, especially in vitamin A, are common in certain regions of the country and the world, particularly during early childhood, where a deficiency of this vitamin leads to the highest rates of disease and mortality in this population. According to the World Health Organization (WHO) and the results of the latest Encuesta de Situación Nutricional (ENSIN), a daily intake of 300 µg and 800 µg equivalent in retinol (RE) of this micronutrient is estimated to be required in children and adults, respectively. This requirement is not met due to food security issues that limit access to foods where this micronutrient is naturally found. Crude palm oil (E. oleifera×E. guineensis) is one of the natural sources with high contribution of phytonutrients with biological activity, such as provitamin A carotenoids and vitamin E. Consequently, this raw material constitutes a valuable nutritional resource, especially due to its high availability resulting from the country's current position as the largest palm oil producer in the Americas and the fourth largest in the world. Due to consumer preferences, crude palm oil undergoes a refining process, where these beneficial phytonutrients are removed. To address this problem, this research studied an alternative method to harness these nutrients, in this case, through the ultrafiltration process using polymeric membranes that allows degumming the oil, preserving the initial concentration of phytonutrients while it is removing compounds that generate off-flavors in the oil such as phospholipids. This would provide greater opportunity to use crude palm oil in the formulation of functional foods. The aim of this research was sampling O×G crude oil in three palm oil mill plant, which were chemically characterized in terms of carotenoid concentration, tocopherols (Tocs), and tocotrienols (T3s), obtaining oils with ranges between 604,12±3,85 mg/kg - 865,63 ±14,96 mg/kg of total carotenoids and between 381,36±3,92 mg/kg – 835,62±8,65 mg/kg of Tocs and T3s. These results allowed to selected the sample with the highest content of these compounds which was subsequently used for ultrafiltration trials where the appropriate degumming conditions were determined evaluating two membrane materials: polyethersulfone (PES) and polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF), considering factors such as transmembrane pressure (TMP) and temperature. Once these conditions were obtained, a stability study of the ultrafiltration (UF) permeate against crude palm oil (CPO) as control was conducted. Once the stability of this oily matrix was known, an approach to uses of UF was made through the development of a baked food, showing a retention of 93.27±0.37% of carotenoids and 99.99±0.00% of Tocs and T3s after baking. This research was the result of collaborative work between oil extraction plants, with high production of O×G crude palm oil, the Colombian Oil Research Center – Cenipalma, the National Federation of Oil Palm Growers (Fedepalma), and the Instituto de Ciencia y Tecnología de Alimentos (ICTA) of the Universidad Nacional de Colombia, thus achieving initially at a laboratory scale, (Technology Readiness level - TRL4), the development of an innovative strategy that could potentially open up an alternative for obtaining process lines in the palm growers' guild for the utilization of the high-value phytonutrients from crude palm oil O×G.Universidad Nacional de Colombia, sede Bogotá a través de la Convocatoria UN Innova: Convocatoria de Proyectos para el Fortalecimiento de la Innovación en la Universidad Nacional de Colombia a partir del Desarrollo de Prototipos y Experiencias Piloto 2019-2021 (segunda cohorte) (Código del proyecto: 53539) y contrapartida de la Corporación Centro de Investigación en Palma de Aceite - CenipalmaUniversidad Nacional de Colombia, a través de la Convocatoria de financiación parcial de proyectos de tesis de doctorado y maestría de la Facultad de Ciencias Agrarias, sede Bogotá (Código del Proyecto: 49641)DoctoradoDoctor en Ciencia y Tecnología de AlimentosCiencia y Tecnología de Productos Agroalimentario
