...the Jute Packaging Act 2010 and said the use of jute bags would be mandatory after October 25this year for packaging six essential goods, reports BSS. "The government would ensure compulsory use of jute bags for packaging essentials goods like paddy, rice, wheat, maize, fertiliser and sugar instead of plastic bags," he said while inaugurating a fair of diversified jute goods in Jamalpur yesterday. The State Minister made it clear that any violation of this act would not be tolerated for the sake of the survival of the jute sector as well as the livelihood of the jute growers in the country. Around 400 million pieces of jute bags and sacks would be required annually for packaging six essential products, said the state minister, adding, "BJMC would be able to provide half of the total requirement while the private jute mills would meet rest of the demand". The Jute Diversification Promotion Centre (JDPC) under the Ministry of Textile and Jute organised the fair in collaboration with the district administration. "Our jute industry and the livelihood of jute growers depend on the implementation of this act," he said. Mirza Azam said exports of jute and jute goods were declining due mainly to reasons like world economic recession, political instability, conspiracies at home and abroad and also trade competition. "So, there is no alternative to increasing local use of jute and jute goods," he said. Following the enactment of the Jute Packaging Act in October 2010 to...

...ahead of them, keeping them healthy to prevent any complication with diabetes. There are Many complications that come with diabetes; Retinopathy, Neuropathy, and Nephropathy. Here is some information about these diseases and steps to help prevent and to manage these complications, do research online and find an every site that will give them the information needed to obtain the first steps in working out this problem. Diabetic Retinopathy When the retina gets nerve damage by the diabetes it weakens the blood vessels. There are steps people can take to reduce their chance of vision loss from complications from diabetic retinopathy. ‘’Hyperglycaemia results in thickening of the basement membrane in the capillaries and loss of endothelial cell adhesion, leading to lose of integrity of these small vessels. This causes a change in blood vessel permeability and the leakage of water, blood, protein, and fat into the surrounding retinal tissue’’ (Shotliff, & Balasanthiran, 2009). They will have to know all of the warning signs and act accordingly. Some of the signs are blurry vision, black or gray spots, cobwebs or strings that move of float when they moves his eyes. Developing control of their sugar, blood pressure, and remove the intake of alcohol, cigarettes will give them a better chance to reduce the risk of getting Diabetic Retinopathy.

...Trina M. Brevard HCA/240 Mental Illness Paper May 2015 Instructor: Natasha Brown Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is one of the most common childhood brain disorders and can continue through adolescence and adulthood. Symptoms include difficulty staying focused and paying attention, difficulty controlling behavior, and hyperactivity (over- activity). These symptoms can make it difficult for a child with ADHD to succeed in school, get along with other children or adults, or finish tasks at home. Brain imaging studies have revealed that, in youth with ADHD, the brain matures in a normal pattern but is delayed, on average, by about 3 years. The delay is most pronounced in brain regions involved in thinking, paying attention, and planning. More recent studies have found that the outermost layer of the brain, the cortex, shows delayed maturation overall, and a brain structure important for proper communications between the two halves of the brain shows an abnormal growth pattern. These delays and abnormalities may underlie the hallmark symptoms of ADHD and help to explain how the disorder may develop. Treatments can relieve many symptoms of ADHD, but there is currently no cure for the disorder. With treatment, most people with ADHD can be successful in school and lead productive lives. Researchers are developing more effective treatments and interventions, and using new tools such as brain imaging, to better understand ADHD and to...

...overweight people (defined by high body mass index or BMI) suffer from the second leading cause of preventable death in the United States (NIH, 2012). Almost 70% of the U.S. adult population is defined as overweight or obese (per BMI), with an estimated 300,000 attributed deaths per year (NIH, 2012). We learn in healthcare that any disease spreading at a rate faster than expected is considered epidemic. There has been great consternation about the rise in obesity and other health-related problems that is out of proportion with our increase in population. This paper will question whether the addition of fructose and high-fructose corn syrup (HFCS) in beverage and food items has contributed to this problem. There are popular theories about decreased physical activity or perhaps the dissolution of the nuclear family mealtime as possible sources for increased obesity rates. Yet time and time again scientific food research has observed changing trends in eating habits, food choice, and ingredient additives as likely causation. The data that I have found through researching credible sources supports the theory that HFCS additions have contributed to obesity (as measured by BMI) and gout in addition to other health-related problems such as high blood pressure and visceral abdominal fat collection. The public is poorly informed in regards to the actual amounts of HFCS that is added to typical food items and correlative potential for untoward...

...Julia Flynn Siler’s Lost Kingdom: Hawaii’s Last Queen, the Sugar Kings, and America’s First Imperial Adventure, published in 2012, explores past the life of Lili’uokalani and also focuses on the role that sugar production played in the rise of the white oligarchy that overthrew the monarchy. Siler begins her text discussing the role of Western influence with the Hawaiian Monarchy stating how Kamahameha I was able to unite the Hawaiian Islands under his rule with the aid of Western advisors and guns, foreshadowing the further involvement of American and European influence and power in Hawaii. Siler also discusses the individuals that make up the white oligarchy, rather than just as a general group of men. This is important because it was a...

...briefly addressed. INTRODUCTION: Food processing through the use of biological agents is historically a well-established approach. The earliest applications go back to 6,000 BC or earlier, with the brewing of beer, bread baking, and cheese and wine making, whereas the first purposeful microbial oxidation dates from 2,000 BC, with vinegar production. Coming to modern days, in the late XIX, century Christian Hansen reported the use of rennet (a mixture of chymosin and pepsin) for cheese making, and production of bacterial amylases was started at Takamine (latter to become part of Genencor). Pectinases were used for juice clarification in the 1930s, and for a short period during World War II, invertase was also used for the production of invert sugar syrup in a process that...

It is used by the food industry as a soluble dietary fibre and fat or sugar replacement, and in the pharmaceutical industry as a stabiliser and excipient. It can also be used as a precursor in the synthesis of a wide range of compounds. New uses for inulin are constantly being discovered, with recent research into its use for slow-release drug delivery. Inulin, when in a particulate form, possesses anti-cancer and immune enhancing properties. Given its increasing importance to industry, this review explains how inulin's unique physico-chemical properties bestow it with many useful pharmaceutical applications.

...The purpose of this paper is to assess the impact of globalization on the Caribbean business environment. Much has been written about globalization which is more accurately viewed as a process of change rather that an event which has already occurred. The impact of globalization on any environment can be both positive and negative and can be described as the enablers or the constraints which affect the decisions made by leaders, both government and business. It also refers to the way these choices affect the lives of all people. Scholars David Held, Anthony McGrew, David Goldblatt and Jonathan Perraton developed a general framework for understanding the process and characteristics of globalization. The authors said that, “in its simplest sense globalization refers to the widening, deepening and speeding up of global interconnectedness. They also suggest that the process of Globalization does not only have one kind of impact or outcome but four different types namely Decisional, Institutional, Distributive and Structural: • Decisional impact. How does globalizing processes affect how individuals, corporations, organizations and governments make decisions? • Institutional impact. How does globalization change the agendas of organizations and individuals, structure their choices and influence their preferences? • Distributive impact. How does globalization change the way wealth and power are distributed within and among countries? • Structural impact. How does globalization...

...of inheritance. One scientist researched the structure of DNA at a time during the 19th century when there was no knowledge of DNA’s role in heredity. By the 1950s a series of discoveries convinced the scientific community that DNA acts as the hereditary material. To describe DNA would be like a blueprint found in every cell in all living organism. Living organisms are made of cells. Every cell has a nucleus, and chromosomes. Human beings have 46 chromosomes that are paired into 23 chromosomes that contain hundreds of genes. The genes contain the formula for proteins that make most of the body. The structural proteins form various essential parts of the body such as skin, hair, and muscle. These chromosomes can be described as a twisted ladder held together by a backbone that is made up of sugar phosphate. Long coils of DNA (Deoxyribonucleic Acid) store all the information that the body needs such as the physical features of how one will look and their everyday functions. The DNA is a thread formed by two strands, twisted together to form a Double Helix. The Double Helix looks like a twisted ladder. The sides of this twisted ladder are long units called nucleotides and are made of three parts; a nitrogenous base, a sugar, and a phosphate group. These nucleotides strands than come together at one of four separate bases. The bases are made of either Adenine (A) and Thymine (T) or Cytosine (C) and Guanine (G). The attachment of these strands by the bases...

...20702256 ENG400-13 A proposal to investigate practical and effective solutions to major problems of the over usage of high fructose corn syrup. Introduction Today, it is inevitable to face negative effects of high fructose corn syrup because high fructose corn syrup (HFCS) has replaced cane and beet sugar in processed foods and soft drinks over the past 25 years. When you read the food labels in your kitchen you’ll find that we now consume HFCS in all kinds of processed foods, not just desserts and drinks also in breads, cereals, ketchup and yogurt so you will easily realize that you associate with the devil by consuming devil’s candy. However, despite the alarming damages of HFCS there is a huge demand for HFCS by firms and governments. Profit concerns and governmental issues are the major reasons behind demand but also there are some problems related to consumers. In this proposal it is intended to investigate the problems behind the over usage of HFCS and offer solutions against that danger, select the criteria to evaluate the applicability and efficiency of the proposed solutions and finally introduce the research methodology constituted the basis of my further research. Problem Definition There are some problems caused by people, firms and governments lead us to over use HFCS. The followings are the most crucial problems behind this issue; I. Ignorance People don’t know the difference between corn syrup and high fructose corn syrup. They think they are same...

...Comparison Paper Karen Kennedy NUR/408 March 07, 2016 Kim Hall Comparison Paper This paper will examine public health resources provided by county, state and on national level. We will look at a brief history of public health resources and important events that led to its changes. The difference between public and community health will also be explained. On the national level public health can be traces to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services which began with hospitals and care for seamen and marines in 1798. The Quarantine Act of 1887 moved power to quarantine people with infectious disease away from the stale level to the national level. The marine hospital system for sailors was renamed the Public Health Service on 1906. Children’s Service created in 1912 and changed to an advocate of children’s interests, child labor laws, for example. Bureau of Indian health service of 1921 created health services for Native Americans on reservations. In 1930, the National Hygienic Laboratory later became the National Institute of Health (NIH). The Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act of 1938, became the Food, and Drug Administration (FDA). In 1946, the Communicable Disease Center was created and then converted into the Center for Disease Control (CDC, n.d.). The Department of Health, Education, and Welfare (HEW) was designed under President Eisenhower, and was brought into existence on April 11, 1953. HEW became the Department of Health and Human Services, officially...

...Analysis of an argument 1. The following appeared as part of an annual report sent to stockholders by Olympic Foods, a processor of frozen foods. “Over time, the costs of processing go down because as organizations learn how to do things better, they become more efficient. In color film processing, for example, the cost of a 3-by-5-inch print fell from 50 cents for five-day service in 1970 to 20 cents for one-day service in 1984. The same principle applies to the processing of food. And since Olympic Foods will soon celebrate its twenty-fifth birthday, we can expect that our long experience will enable us to minimize costs and thus maximize profits.” Discuss how well reasoned you find this argument. In your discussion be sure to analyze the line of reasoning and the use of evidence in the argument. For example, you may need to consider what questionable assumptions underlie the thinking and what alternative explanations or counterexamples might weaken the conclusion. You can also discuss what sort of evidence would strengthen or refute the argument, what changes in the argument would make it more logically sound, and what, if anything, would help you better evaluate its conclusion. Citing facts drawn from the color-film processing industry that indicate a downward trend in the costs of film processing over a 24-year period, the author argues that Olympic Foods will likewise be able to minimize costs and thus maximize profits in the future. In support of this conclusion...
