This approach may support the use of time-in-range as a metric for long-term health outcomes in the type 2 diabetes population.Raw cane sugars have been claimed to be rich in natural phenolic compounds which, in contrast to refined sugar, may increase the nutritional value of foods and contribute to the development of healthier foods and diets. The use of non-refined cane sugars in food formulation seems an interesting option since they provide natural antioxidants with sucrose still being the major sugar present, minimizing the loss of technological properties. However, substitution of refined sugar could imply an undesired impact on physicochemical and sensory properties, conditioning consumer's acceptance. Functional jams (strawberry and kiwifruit) with a larger fruit to sugar ratio than conventional ones, in which white sugar was replaced by granulated jaggery (0, 15, 30, 45, 60 y 75 % w/w) were obtained. Impact of sugar replacement was assessed by evaluating physicochemical properties (moisture, water activity, pH, total soluble sugars, sugar profile (glucose, fructose, sucrose), and optical, rheological, mechanical and antioxidant properties). Sensory properties and microbiological stability were also determined. Jaggery improved the antioxidant properties of jams (total phenolic content, total flavonoid content, antiradical activity by the DPPH and ABTS methods), proportionally to the amount of cane sugar incorporated and more significantly in the case of kiwifruit. Other physicochemical properties were not significantly affected by jaggery, except for color. However, these differences were not crucial in the acceptability tests, since acceptance of jams containing jaggery was generally good, very good when intermediate replacement percentages were used. Conclusions of the present work suggest that granulated jaggery can be used to formulate sugar-rich food products such as jams in order to increase their nutritional value, with little impact on physicochemical properties and good consumer acceptance.When water is contaminated and rendered unfit for drinking, it is regarded as waste, which leads to water pollution. Several works have been done to control water pollution, yet this topic is still a point of concern up to date. The study involves the production of activated carbon (AC) using sawdust to treat sewage water obtained from Covenant University. The following conditions were investigated; activation time and temperature, activating agent concentration, and impregnation time. The AC was characterized by measuring ash content, iodine value, moisture, and volatile matter content. The optimum activated carbon prepared in this study had iodine of 1628.95 mg/gm, while the minimum activated carbon had an iodine of 470.41 mg/gm. According to standard procedure, the sewage water sample was characterized physio-chemically before and after treatment using activated carbon as an adsorbent. The results obtained indicated considerable improvement in the quality of the water. When optimum activated carbon was used for treatment, pH value changed from 7.7 to 7.10, biochemical oxygen demand (BOD) was reduced from 288 mg/l to 20 mg/l and Total dissolved solids (TDS) reduced from 183.7 mg/l to 16.4 mg/l, Total suspended solids (TSS) reduced 232 mg/l to 15.7 mg/l. When minimum activated carbon was used for treatment, pH value changed from 7.7 to 7.60, BOD was reduced from 288 mg/l to 112.2 mg/l, and TDS reduced from 232 mg/l to 174 mg/l, TSS reduced 183.7 mg/l to 103 mg/l. The results obtained led to the conclusion that the produced activated carbon effectively treats the above-stated water quality parameters.

Currently, there is no available medication for immediate correction of bruise discoloration. Instead, makeup, cosmetic powders, concealers, and various traditional herbal remedies are used to mask discoloration. These approaches have no influence on the pathology behind the discoloration. The purpose of this study was to explore existing methods and current trends in correction of hemoglobin related cutaneous discoloration.

This paper describes the treatment methodologies available for proposed correction of hemoglobin related cutaneous discoloration. A thorough literature review was conducted to assess current knowledge of available treatments for bruise discoloration.

current cosmetics being marketed under the names "Bleacher bruises," "Bleaching agents" and "Blood bleachers" addressing bruise related discoloration do not offer targeted pathological treatment. Several methods for immediate discoloration of the skin and nail plate in the area of bruising and hematoma were found, yet no method offered xisting patented methods remains questionable and unsupported clinically. Future research should focus on developing a drug targeting hemoglobin derivatives, preventing discoloration at an early stage.We synthesize and optically characterize pure PMMA and PMMA incorporated with metal oxides nanoparticles (MO NPs) such as ZnO, CuO, TiO2 and SiO2 NPs nanocomposite thin films with weight concentration of 10% using dip-coating technique. SEM images of MO NPs show that all NPs have nearly an average size of around 50 nm. The optical parameters such as, optical parameters (n and k), optoelectronics properties, dispersion, band-gap energy and band structure of as-prepared nanocomposite thin films were determined by analyzing the transmittance and reflectance spectra. this website Mainly, optical band-gap energy (Eg) and the thickness of thin films are evaluated to a high degree of accuracy by utilizing Q-functional derived using a mathematical model recently published. The Q(E) is a functional containing experimental transmission and reflection data and the incident photon energy. The E g value of un-doped PMMA thin films is found to be 4.273 eV. This value decreases as pre-selected MO NPs are introduced into thin films. These values are in excellent agreement with those determined using Tauc method. The FTIR technique is employed to elucidate the vibrational bands of the nanocomposites and the intermolecular bonding between PMMA matrix and the MOs NPs. Thermal stability is investigated by employing thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) at temperatures up to 400 °C. The obtained TGA thermograms indicate that adding MOs NPs to PMMA yield thin films of better thermal stability. The obtained doped thin films show a great promise for fabricating high-efficient optoelectronic devices.
