No full textOne of the most delightful experiences I have had in a long time. There are two modes for experiencing this program. One runs through the twelve pages one by one, with plenty of animation and music for each event in the story. The other is especially entertaining. The viewer can play with each page, clicking on various objects in the individual picture. Rows of carrots turn into dancers, and tomatoes on the vine turn into a vocal group. Other carrots take off like space missiles. Click on the water and you are liable to see a fish jump up and fly around a bit before bringing the program and picture back to the starting point. Gives new meaning for me to the word interactive. I love it! The boxed CD-ROM comes with a booklet by the same title.This is a hardbound book (hard cover)Language note: English and SpanishProduct Managers: Todd Power and Liza Weiman. English and Spanish.

Effects of thermal processing on antioxidant, phenolic and anthocyanin levels in blackcurrant juice
No full textHealth and Wellness continues to be a major driver for consumers within the current marketplace. Given this climate, superfruits such as blackcurrant (Ribes nigrum) are gaining interest among beverage manufacturers due to their high content of antioxidants and anthocyanins. Blackcurrant juice, while very popular in Europe, is just beginning to gain acceptance in the domestic marketplace.
Various thermal processes are required throughout the production of a shelf stable juice product at both the raw material and finished beverage stages. The goal of this research is to evaluate the effect of these thermal processes on the retention of heat sensitive compounds such as phenolics, anthocyanins and overall antioxidants in the final consumer beverage. To this end, bulk samples of 13 brix flash pasteurized and 65 brix concentrated blackcurrant juice were obtained and further processed at beverage scale. The beverage scale processing entailed the three key thermal processes utilized by retail manufacturers: aseptic, hotfill and tunnel pasteurization. The raw material juices and fully processed samples were then analyzed for anthocyanin content, total phenolic content and antioxidant capacity to understand retention of these nutrients in the post process beverage.
The findings of this study show marked losses at the raw material level of all measured components with a reduction in Phenolic Content of approximately 35%, a reduction of Antioxidant Capacity by 48% and, most significantly, a reduction of Anthocyanin Content of approximately 80% in the concentrated juice as compared to the flash pasteurized Not From Concentrate (NFC) juice. The anthocyanin content was seen to undergo additional degradation (40-50%) by further processing the juice at beverage level, while little or no further change in either antioxidant capacity or phenolic content was seen. There was little to no difference in the impact of aseptic, hotfill or tunnel pasteurization as compared to each other.
Understanding the relationship between process and retention will allow industry to leverage the proper processes required to deliver the desired health benefits to consumers.M.S.Includes bibliographical references (p. 53-56)by Bridget A. Skahil

The edge of meaning: Polish translations of the Bridget Jones film series
No full textNiniejszy artykuł poświęcony jest analizie translatorskiej polskich tłumaczeń ekranizacji Dziennika Bridget Jones i Bridget Jones 3. Głównym zadaniem tekstu tłumaczenia jest przybliżenie znaczenia tekstu wyjściowego. Jednak nigdy dwie osoby nie wykonają tłumaczenia identycznie. Zawsze jest ono indywidualnym, niepowtarzalnym tekstem autora – tłumacza filmowego, odzwierciedleniem jego idiolektu. Forma tekstu docelowego uzależniona jest od poziomu umiejętności translatorskich, które determinują poszczególne rozwiązania tłumaczeniowe fragmentów problematycznych (nieoczywistych) tekstu wyjściowego. Sposób radzenia sobie z tymi trudnościami określa format tłumacza. W artykule omówiono dwa tłumaczenia dwóch różnych tłumaczek i podjęta próba oceny ich warsztatu.This paper analyses Polish translations of two romantic comedy films Bridget Jones’ Diary and Bridget Jones’ Baby. The main goal of a translated text is to convey the meaning of an original. However, it is impossible for any two persons to deliver identical translations. It is always an individual, unique text of the particular author – a film translator and it reflects his or her idiolect. The form of the translated text depends on translator’s skills as they determine particular solutions for problematic fragments (not selfevident) of the original. The choices of translators define their level of mastery. The paper analyses two translations of two different persons and attempts to assess their craft
Abstract A40: Capital Breast Care Center: A Patient Navigation Exemplar
No full textAbstract
Introduction. Breast cancer is the second leading cause of cancer deaths for American women. Washington, DC, has one of the highest incidence and mortality rates for breast cancer in the U.S. Patient navigation coupled with informational and community resources are important strategies that assist patients' access and help them understand the complex world of cancer care.
Aims.The Georgetown Lombardi Comprehensive Cancer Center's Capital Breast Care Center (CBCC) serves as an exemplary community-embedded facility that develops multiple intra community partnerships to improve patient access to health care. The aim of this study is to detail the role of patient navigation at the Capital Breast Care Center, with an emphasis on community engagement and community-based partnerships.
Program process description. We describe the development and application of the CBCC patient navigation process and navigation components: (a) creating partnerships; (b) educating members of the community about mammograms; (c) providing patient navigation into screening assistance; and (d) helping women with coordination of diagnostic follow-up. Data were collected from 2004-2015 and analyzed in 2015.
Program process evaluation results. CBCC established 41 community partnerships categorized by different organizational types that include transitional housing facilities, health service providers, neighborhood associations, churches, senior centers, and local neighborhood recreation centers. Application of the CBCC navigation model yielded important lessons; in general, partnerships and patient navigation.
Discussion. Partnerships, community engagement, and informational resources are all crucial to the patient navigation process in providing access to quality care for all patients.

Abstract A02: Comparative analysis of breast density among Black, White, and Hispanic women presenting for screening mammography
No full textAbstract
Background: Data on ethnic variations in breast density are limited and often not inclusive of underrepresented minorities, including Black and Hispanic women. As breast density is associated with elevated breast cancer risk, investigating racial and ethnic difference may elucidate the observed differences in breast cancer risk among different populations.
Methods: We reviewed breast density recorded at the initial mammographic screening study in women presenting to the Capital Breast Care Center (CBCC) and Georgetown University Hospital (GUH) from 2010 to 2014. Patient demographics including race, age at screening, education and menopausal status were abstracted in addition to body mass index (BMI). From imaging reports, we recorded the BI-RADS density categories: 1-fatty, 2-scattered fibroglandular densities, 3-heterogeneously dense and 4-extremely dense. Multivariable unconditional logistic regression was used to identify predictors of breast density.
Results: Density categorization was recorded for 2,146 women over the five-year period, with 940 (43.8%) Black, 893 (41.6%), Hispanic and 314 (14.6%) White. Analysis of subject characteristics by low density (categories 1 and 2) and high density (categories 3 and 4) show that high category is observed in younger, Hispanic, nulliparous, premenopausal and non-obese women (P-values &lt;.0001). Obese women are 70% less likely to have high breast density compared to non-obese women. Being Hispanic, premenopausal, and non-obese were predictive of high mammographic density on logistic regression.
Conclusion: In this analysis of density distribution in a diverse sample of women presenting for mammography, Hispanic women have the highest breast density, followed by Black women with Whites having the lowest. Unique in our findings is women who identify as Hispanic having the highest breast density and lower rates of obesity. Further investigation of the impact of obesity on breast density in minority women, especially in the understudied Hispanic group is needed.

Managing food safety and hygiene: governance and regulation as risk management
No full textFood safety and hygiene is of critical importance to us all. In this wide ranging book, Bridget Hutter explores how we are all dependent on others to ensure that the food we consume from food in the retailing and hospitality sectors is safe. This has prompted a governance system embracing state regulation and groups beyond the state such as consumers, insurance, media and businesses themselves. The book argues that state regulation is ‘necessary but not sufficient’ as an influence on business risk management practices. Using research data from the UK, the author examines the relative importance of these other groups, in relation to each other and in relation to state regulation
Film adaptation from a gender perspective: Bridget Jones’s Diary
No full textLa obra de Helen Fielding, Bridget Jones´s Diary, es una de las 10 novelas que mejor reflejan la sociedad de finales del siglo XX, según un estudio llevado a cabo por el periódico The Guardian. El gran éxito de esta obra, tanto de la novela como de la película, se basa en el argumento y en técnicas narrativas que empleó Jane Austen. Dentro del género literario Chick Lit, analizaremos cómo los guionistas crearon una adaptación mediante intertextualidades que reflejan el discurso postfeminista y cuáles fueron las estrategias cinematográficas que utilizaron para la adaptación de la novela.According to a study presented by The Guardian, Bridget Jones´s Diary is one of the 10 novels which best reflects the society at the end of the 20th century. The great success of this novel, as well as the film, is due to the plot and to Jane Austen´s narrative techniques. We will discuss how the scriptwriters created an adaptation through general intertextualities that reveal its connection with the postfeminist discourse, which were the cinematographic strategies that they used for the adaptation of the novel. On the other hand, we will discuss about its author, Helen Fielding, who is one of the writers that best illustrates the situation of occidental women at the end of the 20th century and at the beginning of the 21st century. She describes a woman who dares to talk about her daily problems openly, pulling apart the belief that personal problems have to be kept in the private sphere. She uses real language, even creating new words to give women their own voice; in fact, she is a pioneer in the literary genre called Chick Lit, about which we will discuss its varieties and components. The post-feminist movement will serve as a background to contextualize the novel and the movie. The protagonist, Bridget Jones, is overwhelmed by the expectations of the postfeminist ideals. Bridget Jones´s Diary depicts the postfeminist settings through different intertexts: Jane Austen´s novel and the TV adaptation, both taken to the big screen by the scriptwriters of this movie (Helen Fielding, Andrew Davis and Richard Curtis)
