Physiologically Active Molecules and Functional Properties of Soybeans in Human Health—A Current Perspective

In addition to providing nutrients, food can help prevent and treat certain diseases. In particular, research on soy products has increased dramatically following their emergence as functional foods capable of improving blood circulation and intestinal regulation. In addition to their nutritional value, soybeans contain specific phytochemical substances that promote health and are a source of dietary fiber, phospholipids, isoflavones (e.g., genistein and daidzein), phenolic acids, saponins, and phytic acid, while serving as a trypsin inhibitor. These individual substances have demonstrated effectiveness in preventing chronic diseases, such as arteriosclerosis, cardiac diseases, diabetes, and senile dementia, as well as in treating cancer and suppressing osteoporosis. Furthermore, soybean can affect fibrinolytic activity, control blood pressure, and improve lipid metabolism, while eliciting antimutagenic, anticarcinogenic, and antibacterial effects. In this review, rather than to improve on the established studies on the reported nutritional qualities of soybeans, we intend to examine the physiological activities of soybeans that have recently been studied and confirm their potential as a high-functional, well-being food.

Social licence: power imbalances and levels of consciousness – two case studies

ABSTRACT

Social licence to operate (SLO) is a term that is finding increasing acceptance in a number of industries. Like all new terms, its precise meaning and implications are still being investigated. Using data from previous studies, this paper offers an analysis of the SLO of two case studies with each study being viewed separately through the grid of a distinct theoretical framework. Case study 1 looks at the development of differential social licence negotiated in the Hamlet of Cambridge Bay, Nunavut, as a result of an impact and benefit agreement negotiated between Tahera Diamond Corp. and the Kitikmeot Inuit Organisation in 2004. The study demonstrates that general acceptance of resource development can be uneven and reflect an unequal distribution of decision-making power. In case study 2, stakeholders of a failed mineral development project were queried across time about the specifics of the proposed mine development and were queried about resource development across different levels of consciousness. Perhaps, SLO is variable across different levels of consciousness. The paper concludes with observations about the variable nature of SLO acceptance across populations and across levels of consciousness within individuals. Perhaps, the concept of SLO is, in fact, complex, difficult to define and measure and, at this point, of limited utility as a measure of resource development acceptance.     

Consumer perception of extruded snacks containing brown rice and dried mushroom

Effects of mushroom type, seasoning and health benefit information (HBI) on consumers’ saltiness expectation, sensory liking, elicited emotions and purchase intent (PI) of extruded snacks were investigated. Five snacks were evaluated: straw mushroom (Volvariella volvacea) extrudates without (SME) or with seasoning (SMES), phoenix mushroom (Pleurotus pulmonarius) extrudates without (PME) or with seasoning (PMES), and the control without mushroom and seasoning. Hedonic scores and positive emotions were generally higher for seasoned mushroom-containing snacks (SMES and PMES) with 65% and 75.83% of consumers reporting willingness to purchase, respectively, after receiving HBI. Bored, interested and satisfied were identified as significant emotional predictors for PI odds. Flavour, saltiness, overall liking, bored, good and interested were critical attributes, differentiating snacks. This study demonstrated that sensory liking and PI of extruded brown rice-based snacks containing mushroom could be improved through savoury seasoning addition, which also allowed saltiness expectations to be met.     

面向电网实时运行风险的快速定级方法研究及应用

为满足电网运行实时风险评估时效性要求,解决电网运行实时风险评估与定级中效率与精度两者间协调的问题,在当前国家和主要电网企业规定的电网运行事故定级标准基础上提出了一种快速定级方法。快速定级方法充分考虑了电网运行实际特性,采取数据治理和算法重构两方面主要措施,对原判定方法进行优化处理。通过数据治理,大幅降低了对外部数据的依赖性,并取消了部分不必要的输入数据。采用算法重构,进一步将运行风险定级与实际业务流程紧密联系。以该快速定级方法为核心,构建了支撑电网运行风险分析与事故处置的实时运行风险管理系统,介绍了该系统的功能框架与系统架构。最后结合该系统在贵阳的实际应用情况,分析了快速定级方法的实际使用效益。     

考虑页岩气储层及开发特征影响的逻辑增长模型

随着页岩气开发工作的持续快速推进,如何深入分析页岩气井生产动态、评价气井生产特征,成为页岩气建产区评价、新区开发方案制订和规划方案编制等工作中亟待解决的问题。已有学者将逻辑增长模型(以下简称LGM模型)应用于非常规气藏气井的产量递减分析中,但未考虑页岩气储层及开发特征的影响,该方法仍有进一步完善和发展的空间。为此,基于前人的研究成果,建立了考虑页岩气储层及开发特征的逻辑增长模型(以下简称RB-LGM模型),并且以四川盆地长宁区块页岩气开发井为例对页岩气井生产动态进行了分析,将分析结果与Arps双曲递减模型的拟合、预测结果进行了对比;在此基础上,采用RB-LGM模型来确定水平井的最优井距。研究结果表明:①在LGM模型的基础上,RB-LGM模型根据页岩气开发采取大批量集群式部署水平井的特点,将页岩气储层参数(厚度、页岩密度、含气量)及开发参数(水平段长度、井距、采收率)相结合,作为水平井产气量拟合的逻辑控制因素,从而使气井的产量预测结果更加合理;②采用RB-LGM模型既能够对气井早期生产数据进行良好拟合,又能够保证后期预测结果在逻辑条件控制下收敛;③由于RB-LGM模型考虑了页岩气储层和开发特征的影响,因而既可以用于水平井井网优化,又可以通过数据反演来分析开发区域内储层参数的变化趋势。     

Sustainability accounting for the construction and operation of a plant‐scale solar‐biogas heating system based on emergy analysis

Domestic heating systems have long been playing a significant role in China's energy structure. The sustainability of a hybrid solar‐biogas heating system (SBHS) under various feedstock fermentation scenarios was evaluated using emergy analysis. Representative emergy indices such as transformities, emergy yield ratio (EYR), environmental loading ratio (ELR), emergy sustainability index (ESI), ratio of waste treatment (%W), feedback yield ratio (FYR), and emission mitigation intensity (EMI; g/10¹⁰ sej) were selected to evaluate the sustainability performance of different feedstock scenarios including cow dung (CD), swine manure (SM), and poultry manure (PM). The results showed that PM fermentation scenario had greater market competitiveness, lower environmental pressure, better sustainability, and self‐organizing ability than the other two options. However, both the emergy efficiency and the CO₂ emissions mitigation intensity of PM scenario were worse than that of the SM and CD. Moreover, compared with other biogas systems and traditional agricultural systems, the hybrid SBHS was proved to be a promising mode for the treatment of rural manure waste with favorable economic benefits and environmental sustainability.     

Research on economic benefits of multi-city logistics development based on data-driven analysis

This study aims to measure the logistics economic efficiency of major first-tier cities in China and propose the interactive development plan of the green logistics industry based on the division of the urban agglomeration. In this study, the evaluation system for the logistics input and economic output of urban agglomerations is firstly established based on data-driven analytics, and a green logistics economic efficiency model using the dataset from 2008 to 2017 is constructed to estimate the input–output efficiency, development trend, and spatial differentiation of urban agglomerations comprehensively. Finally, the Shapley value method is adopted to obtain the specific distribution plan of logistics investment. The results show that the logistics economic efficiency of the 9 major urban agglomerations is all greater than 1 under the constant returns-to-scale (CRS) hypothesis while the average logistics economic efficiency of Pearl River Delta region, Chengdu-Chongqing region, and Shandong Peninsula region is significantly less than 1 under the medium returns-to-scale (MRS) hypothesis. The comprehensive input–output efficiency of five out of 9 major Chinese urban agglomerations showed a downward trend, with the highest declining rate of 5.9% in the Yangtze River Delta urban agglomeration. The urban agglomeration with the highest increase rate in input–output efficiency from 2013 to 2017 is the Chengdu-Chongqing region, which reached 3.97%.
