Also, violence against infertile women affects their psychological wellbeing and treatment consequence. This study aimed at reviewing related factors to violence against infertile women, based on an ecological approach. Methods In this systematic review, the researchers conducted their search ...

Despite the acknowledged contribution of Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) to the food industry, there is increasing evidence that Hazard Analysis Critical Control Point (HACCP) implementation is limited in this sector, with the burden of implementation perceived as potentially insurmountable. The purpose of this study was to modify the generic HACCP model for Tunisian ricotta cheese producti...

The terms hazard and risk are significant building blocks for the organization of risk-based food safety plans. Unfortunately, these terms are not clear for some personnel working in food manufacturing facilities. In addition, there are few examples of active learning modules for teaching adult participants the principles of hazard analysis and critical control points (HACCP). In this study, we...

The current study set out to evaluate how individuals walk through apertures created by different stationary obstacles. Specifically, we examined whether the passability of apertures differed between human and pole obstacles by quantifying aperture crossing behaviors such as the critical point. Participants walked an 8m path toward a visible goal located at the end. Two obstacles were positione...

The in-plane optical anisotropy (IPOA) in InAs/GaSb superlattices has been studied by reflectance difference spectroscopy (RDS) at different temperatures ranging from 80 to 300 K. We introduce alternate GaAs- and InSb-like interfaces (IFs), which cause the symmetry reduced from D 2d to C 2v . IPOA has been observed in the (001) plane along [110] and [1[Formula: see text]0] axes. RDS measurement...

With food expenditure growing about 7.67% from 2010 through 2012, the demand for organic food through the retail sales medium is anticipated to increase consumer food expenditure. Produce enters the market primarily through supermarkets and grocery stores, after it originates from large farms in the U.S., Mexico and South America. However, there are numerous small farms that are certified organ...
