Dr. Mari Lee Mifsud – Faculty Author Interview
No full textDr. Mari Lee Mifsud, Professor of Rhetoric and Women, Gender and Sexuality Studies, discusses her new book, Rhetoric and the Gift: Ancient Rhetorical Theory and Contemporary Communication, published recently by Duquesne University Press. Rhetoric and the Gift, taking as its starting point the Homeric idea of the gift and Aristotle’s related rhetorical theory, explores rhetoric not only at the level of the artful response but at the level of the call and response. Throughout the book, Dr. Mifsud pursues a number of questions crucial to thinking about contemporary communication

Supporting Data for: Assessing the efficiency of ethyl acetate for lipid extraction as an alternative to the Folch method in selected marine low-trophic species
No full textThe study aimed to bridge the knowledge gap in evaluating ethyl acetate (EtOAc) as a single organic solvent in lipid extraction and contribute to a deeper understanding of the targeted organic solvent lipid extraction systems. The efficiency of the EtOAc method was benchmarked against the well-established Folch method on total lipid content, lipid class profile, and fatty acid composition of four marine species: Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar Linnaeus, 1758), the zooplankton Calanus finmarchicus (Gunnerus, 1770), the microalgae Porosira glacialis (Grunow) Jörgensen, 1905, and the macroalgae Saccharina latissima (Linnaeus). Gas Chromatography-Flame Ionization Detector (GC-FID) analyses indicated that these marine species are excellent sources of highly unsaturated fatty acids. Additionally, High-Performance Thin-Layer Chromatography (HPTLC) results demonstrated a synergistic relationship between solvent polarity and lipid polarity. Overall, the EtOAc method proves to be a potent alternative for extracting neutral lipids and free fatty acids from biological materials such as salmon fillets and C. finmarchicus. However, it exhibits lower efficiency with polar and complex lipids, as observed in P. glacialis and S. latissima
Biokjemisk sammensetning og bioaktivitet i hydrolysert sjøpølse, mikroalger og mesopelagiske organismer
No full textHavet utgjør mer enn 70 % av overflaten til jordkloden, men står bare for 7 % av alt protein konsumert i verden. For å utnytte havet i større grad kan man høste på et lavere trofisk nivå i næringskjeden. Hele 90 % av energien tapes mellom hvert trofiske nivå og lite utnyttede arter i de lavere nivåene er derfor en stor potensiell ressurs. Disse artene kan muligens utnyttes til humant konsum, eller de kan prosesseres videre og undersøkes for biologisk aktivitet. Marine proteiner har fått økt interesse som forskningsfelt da det er rapportert at de kan være opphav til biologisk aktive komponenter. Formålet med denne oppgaven var derfor å karakterisere biokjemisk sammensetning og undersøke biologisk aktivitet i proteinhydrolysat fra lite utnyttede arter i de lavere nivåer i næringskjeden.
Artene undersøkt i denne oppgaven var sjøpølsene, P. tremulus og C. frondosa, mikroalgen, P. glacialis, og et trålhal med ulike mesopelagiske organismer. Disse er alle lite utnyttede arter på et lavt trofisk nivå med potensial for utnyttelse. Alle artene ble kvernet og frysetørket før protein- og fettinnholdet ble analysert. Videre ble artene enzymatisk hydrolysert i tre paralleller, i tillegg til en hydrolyse kontroll uten enzym. Proteinhydrolysatene ble testet for antidiabetisk, antiinflammatorisk og antioksidativ effekt.
Alle artene ble funnet å være fullverdige og gode proteinkilder. De inneholdt alle aminosyrer og hadde et innhold av essensielle aminosyrer over referansenivået fastsatt av Verdens helseorganisasjon. Fettinnholdet varierte mellom artene og ble bestemt til 0,8 %, 6,2 %, 1,7 % og 12,9 % for henholdsvis P. tremulus, C. frondosa, P. glacialis og mesopelagiske organismer. Alle artene hadde et høyt innhold av langkjedede fettsyrer og en fordelaktig omega-6/omega-3 som kan bidra til å utjevne forskjellen mellom disse fettsyrene i kostholdet. Den enzymatiske hydrolysen økte kun proteinutbytte i P. glacialis og mesopelagiske organismer. Den antioksidative kapasiteten målt med oksygenradikal absorbansekapasitet (ORAC) var 297-4021 mol TE/g. Mesopelagiske organismer hadde det høyeste proteininnholdet og den høyeste antioksidative aktiviteten. Ingen av proteinhydrolysatene viste antidiabetisk eller antiinflammatorisk aktivitet. Basert på resultatene i denne oppgaven kan mesopelagiske organismer ha et potensiale for å bli utnyttet til proteinhydrolysat, men alle artene bør undersøkes mer for videre kartlegging

Formation of Ethnic Identity of Mari People in Absence of Single Mari Literary Language
No full textThis study is devoted to the history of the formation of the ethnic identity of the Mari people in the Republic of Mari El. Particular attention is paid to the changes in the identification of Mari, which occurred in direct proportion to extralinguistic factors. The question of the role of language, confessional affiliation, historical past, relations with nature and mythological symbols that characterize the modern ethnic Mari identity is considered. The importance of the demographic imbalance in the Republic, which played the most significant role in shaping the character of the Mari, is emphasized. The relevance of the study is due to the increased interest of science in recent decades in the topic of ethnic and Russian identity. The identity of the Mari people has not been previously studied by the author of this work, although many problems of Mari El have been analyzed and described in detail: the language situation in different time periods, language policy, the legislative framework regarding languages and the education system, the history of the Mari literary language, its writing and a number of other sociolinguistic aspects. Unlike articles by other authors on the topic of Mari identity, the novelty of this work lies in the fact that for the first time the identity is shown in the process of formation, from antiquity to the present day. A characteristic of the identity of the Mari people, formed under the influence of a variety of factors, is compiled
Odrodzenie tradycyjnej religii politeistycznej w Republice Mari El
No full textThe following article is dedicated to the rebirth of traditional politheist faith in Mari El Republic, which is a part of Volga Region within Russian Federation. The author presents an outline of the history and culture of Finno-Ugric Mari ethnos and describes their unique polytheistic religion. This native cult having its roots in Finno-Ugric mythology has survived numerous christianization and atheist campaigns to become one of the fundaments of cultural and national rebirth in 80s and 90s of the 20th century in Mari El Republic The article describes the contemporary Mari polytheist religion and its influence on the political life of Volga Region.The following article is dedicated to the rebirth of traditional politheist faith in Mari El Republic, which is a part of Volga Region within Russian Federation.
