If I remember rightly you are parcial to a good cup of tea and I hope this will tickle your palate as the saying goes.It is first season and all selected stock. As you know I am an appriser ain the chinese customs and in such a position where we examine and pass many tons of tea each working day I have a chance to get as much as I like to have, and of any quality.Kindly accept the tea with my compliments and best wishes for yourself and family.I am honoured to sign myselfYour FriendM.

Etik og normativitet
No full textAktionsforskningens tidligste videnskabsteorietiske overvejelser springer i meget høj grad fra forestillingen om forskerens/forskningens rolle. Hvad er det forskningen kan og skal i et felt? På mange måder er de første erkendelser af dette samstemmende med den samfundsvidenskabelige erkendelsesproces. Fra de tidlige Hawthorne-eksperimenter ved vi, at forskeren gennem sin tilstedeværelse ændrer vilkårene for egen forskning (Nielsen 2000, Gillespie 1939). Fra Tavistock og Maria Jahodas studie af arbejdsløshed ved vi, at forskerens ønske om at hjælpe og støtte feltets aktører stiller sig op, som betydningsfuldt, når det udforskede felt kun vanskeligt overlever (Jahoda 1972 (1933)). I 1970’erne adresserer Skjervheim problemstillingen, som forholdet mellem at være deltager eller tilskuer. Hvor forskeren ifølge Skjervheim ikke har andet valg, end at være deltager i det udforskede felt og må tage sit eget engagement alvorligt (Skjervheim 2000 (1976)). Mere nutidigt taler vi om det som, at forskerne, som fremdriver af udviklingsprocesser, må forholde sig til det ansvar de påtager sig overfor i feltet. Mange gange taler vi om det i forhold til at forskeren ikke må love for meget, ikke må skabe afmagt blandt de som deltager, ikke må putte noget ind i feltet, der forringer vilkårene for feltets aktører. Forskeren, der kommer for tæt på feltet advares også om ikke at blive slugt af relationerne, at tage det på sig, med andre ord. Samtidig er forskeren jo også forvalter af en bestemt forskningstematik. Vi er forskere og har en rolle at spille på den akademiske arena, og skal her forvalte en specialviden overfor andre med viden indenfor samme felt, men hvordan gør vi det? Aktionsforskningen kan med andre ord både skabe dannelsesrum for deltagerne og udviklingsrum for aktionsforskningen (Nielsen og Nielsen 2005). Kapitlet vil med enkelte nedslag i landkortet forsøge at frame denne dobbeltrolle og måder at imødekomme den i aktionsforskningen. Et nedslag vil være den kritiske utopiske aktionsforskning, der med den kritiske teori bringer en æstetisk dimension ind i spændingsfeltet mellem forsker og felt (Nielsen og Nielsen 2005, Egmose 2011, Husted og Tofteng 2006, 2007). Et andet er PAR traditionen, der går mere direkte ind i arbejdet med at definere en etik i aktionsforskningen (s relationer) (Fals Borda og Rahman 1992, Brydon-Miller 2008).<br/
UN ACERCAMIENTO AL ARTE DEL LOWBROW EN SU ESTILO “BIG EYES” COMO UN MOVIMIENTO DE PROSUMISIÓN. BASADO EN SU FUERZA CREATIVA. SOCIAL Y COLECTIVA
No full textEl siglo XXI se verá caracterizado por la consolidación de un ecosistema digital y nuestro empeño en habitar en él, y por su capacidad de democratizar múltiples convencionalismos, en el caso que compete a este estudio: el mundo del arte. Al igual que con otros ámbitos la WWW se ha convertido en un nuevo espacio para la expresión artística popular, la creación de públicos, el consumo y mercado del arte.
Asumimos que la prosumisión en el arte no es una actividad nueva, sin embargo, alojado en este espacio, el artista plástico se reconoce como productor y consumidor (prosumer), toda vez que el artista a través del tiempo se ha visto envuelto en la dinámica de la información y la comunicación; misma que le ha permitido adoptar estilos, pertenecer a colectividades y adquirir prestigio a través de redes de opiniones. Esta comunicación examina el Lowbrow Art como una corriente artística que emerge de la cultura popular y cómo, al igual que esta, se va adaptando a las transformaciones del mundo debido al desarrollo tecnológico; así como a los cambios de comportamiento que sufren las personas debido a esto
Discrimination between organic and conventional flour using compound-specific amino acid δ15N analysis
No full textThe application of nitrogen stable isotope ratio 15N/14N analysis to discriminate between organic and conventional cultivation is based on the fact that the different types of fertilizer used on the soil influence the nitrogen isotopic composition of crops. The δ15N value of plants grown with the use of fertilizers of animal origin and vegetable compost is statistically higher than for those grown using mineral fertilizers. δ15N values can therefore be used as an indicator of organic or conventional management systems. Traditional techniques rely on measurement of bulk samples, but emerging methods using individual chemical compounds provide a means of obtaining a more in-depth understanding.
In this work we present a study of compound-specific nitrogen isotope analysis of amino acids to discriminate between organically and conventionally grown plants. Amino acids are indeed the dominant nitrogen-bearing biomolecules in plants and the pattern of isotopic fractionation during synthesis of these compounds records a range of information about the growth environment, such as the form of assimilable N available in the soil.
Our investigation was based on flour samples grown with synthetic nitrogen fertilizer animal manure and green manure from atmospheric nitrogen fixing legumes. The measurement of amino acid δ15N values after protein hydrolysis and N-acetylisopropyl derivatization was carried out using gas chromatography-combustion-isotope ratio mass spectrometry (GC-C-IRMS).
Our results demonstrate that the molecular amino acid δ15N isotope profile is different in samples, depending on the relative source of nitrogen
A systematic review of the effectiveness of community-based interventions aimed at improving health literacy of parents/carers of children
No full textAim: the aim of this systematic review was to examine the effectiveness of community-based health literacy interventions in improving the health literacy of parents.Methods: a systematic review of six databases - MEDLINE, PsycINFO, CINAHL, Cochrane Library, Embase, and Education Source - was conducted to identify relevant articles. Risk of bias was assessed using version two of the Cochrane risk of bias tool for randomised controlled trials or the Cochrane collaboration risk of bias in non-randomised studies of interventions. The study findings were grouped and synthesised following the synthesis without meta-analysis framework.Results: eleven community-based health literacy interventions for parents were identified. Study design included randomised controlled trials ( n = 4), non-randomised studies with comparison group ( n = 4), and non-randomised studies without a comparison group ( n = 3). Interventions were delivered digitally, in person or a combination of the two. The risk of bias was high in over half the studies ( n = 7). The main findings of the studies showed some potential for both in person and digital interventions to increase parental health literacy. Studies were heterogeneous preventing a meta-analysis. Conclusion: community-based, health literacy interventions have been identified as potential methods for enhancing parental health literacy. Due to the small number of included studies and their potential for bias, these results must be interpreted with caution. This study emphasises the need for additional theory and evidence-based research on the long-term effects of community interventions.</p
