A Conversation with Bernadette Rounds Ganilau by Suzanna Layton
Susana Layton 숙명여자대학교 아세아여성문제연구소 1997 Asian Women Vol.4 No.-
Australian-based Journalism lecturer Dr Suzanna Layton talks with one of Fiji's foremost media personalities - former radio executive and newspaper publisher Bernadetee Rounds Ganilau. Fiji is perhaps the most influential nation in the Englishspeaking South Pacific, due to its relative size (population 770,000 in a region where the average is a tenth that figure), central location and wealth (only 7% of government revenue comes from foreign aid). Independent from Britain since 1970, it serves as a transportation and communication node for the subregion, and hosts a comparably large percertage of Pacific based trade, aid and non-governmental organisations.
Review : What Can Proteomics Tell Us about Tuberculosis?
( Susana Flores Villalva ),( Elba Rogriguez Hernandez ),( Yesenia Rubio Venegas ),( Jorge Germinal Canto Alarcon ),( Feliciano Milian Suazo ) 한국미생물 · 생명공학회 2015 Journal of microbiology and biotechnology Vol.25 No.8
Tuberculosis (TB) is an infectious disease transmitted by aerosol droplets and characterized by forming granulomatous lesions. Although the number of people infected in the population is high, the vast majority does not exhibit symptoms of active disease and only 5-10% develop the disease after a latent period that can vary from weeks to years. The bases of the immune response for this resistance are unknown, but it depends on a complex interaction between the environment, the agent, and the host. The analysis of cellular components of M. tuberculosis shows important host-pathogen interactions, metabolic pathways, virulence mechanisms, and mechanisms of adaptation to the environment. However, the M. tuberculosis proteome still remains largely uncharacterized in terms of virulence and pathogenesis. Here, we summarize some of the major proteomic studies performed to scrutinize all the mycobacterial components.

Metabolic syndrome (MS) is a group of abnormalities in which obesity, insulin resistance (IR), oxidative stress, and dyslipidemia stand out. This pathology predisposes to the development of cardiovascular diseases and diabetes. The ingestion of linear fructooligosaccharides (FOS) such as inulin reduces conditions such as hyperinsulinemia, increased body fat, and triglyceridemia. When FOS are esterified with fatty acids, they present emulsifying and surfactant properties; however, there are no reports of their function at the biological level. The purpose of this investigation was to evaluate the effect of Agave tequilana Weber's FOS (AtW-FOS) and FOS esterified with lauric acid (FOS-LA) in MS markers in a rat model induced by a HFHC diet. Supplementation with AtW-FOS and FOS-LA decreased IR, improved glucose tolerance, reduced liver weight (19%), plasma triglycerides (24%), and blood pressure (16%) when compared with the untreated MS group. In conclusion, the ingestion of AtW-FOS and FOS-LA has beneficial effects in the prevention of MS alterations, showing a high potential for their application in functional foods.
Sentry@Home - Leveraging the Smart Home for Privacy in Pervasive Computing
Susana Alcalde Bagues,Andreas Zeidler,Fernandez Valdivielso,Ignacio R. Matias 보안공학연구지원센터 2007 International Journal of Smart Home Vol.1 No.2
This article introduces a privacy framework for Smart Homes, supporting individuals roaming freely in pervasive computing environments. Such environments typically are equipped with different kinds of sensors and tracking devices for context-aware service provisioning. While on the one hand, people want to take advantage of the comfort and added value of personalized context-aware services, privacy and traceability becomes a serious concern on the other hand. The question arises, how we can build up trust into inherently untrusted services in a potentially hostile environment? How can it be guaranteed that eventually all sensitive data is deleted or safely stored away? The Sentry@HOME concept, as part of our User-centric Privacy Framework, addresses these concerns. It is designed to become an integral part of the user’s home environment; seamlessly embedded into the Smart Home software infrastructure.. The Smart Home itself then can be leveraged to act as a privacy proxy for a tracked individual. On behalf of the user it constitutes the central privacy enforcement point for all privacy-relevant accesses to private or sensitive data. We are confident that our contribution, the combination of Smart Homes and a privacy-aware infrastructure, substantially adds to the success of personalized pervasive computing systems.

Background/Aims Gastrointestinal adverse effects have a major impact on health and quality of life in analgesics users. Non-invasive methods to study gastrointestinal motility are of high interest. Fluoroscopy has been previously used to study gastrointestinal motility in small experimental animals, but they were generally anesthetized and anesthesia itself may alter motility. In this study, our aim is to determine, in conscious rats, the effect of increasing doses of 2 opioid (morphine and loperamide) and 1 cannabinoid (WIN 55,212-2) agonists on colonic motility using fluoroscopic recordings and spatio-temporal maps. Methods Male Wistar rats received barium sulfate intragastrically, 20–22 hours before fluoroscopy, so that stained fecal pellets could be seen at the time of recording. Animals received an intraperitoneal administration of morphine, loperamide, or WIN 55,212-2 (at 0.1, 1, 5, or 10 mg/kg) or their corresponding vehicles (saline, Cremophor, and Tocrisolve, respectively), 30 minutes before fluoroscopy. Rats were conscious and placed within movement-restrainers for the length of fluoroscopic recordings (120 seconds). Spatio-temporal maps were built, and different parameters were analyzed from the fluoroscopic recordings in a blinded fashion to evaluate colonic propulsion of endogenous fecal pellets. Results The analgesic drugs inhibited propulsion of endogenous fecal pellets in a dose-dependent manner. Conclusions Fluoroscopy allows studying colonic propulsion of endogenous fecal pellets in conscious rats. Our method may be applied to the noninvasive study of the effect of different drug treatments and pathologies.

Evaluation of Different Parameters for the Purification of Inulinase Using an Ion Exchange Fixed Bed
Susana J. Kalil,Silvana T. Silveira,Francisco Maugeri-Filho,Maria Isabel Rodrigues 한국생물공학회 2010 Biotechnology and Bioprocess Engineering Vol.15 No.4
The main conditions affecting the downstream process for purification of inulinase from Kluyveromyces marxianus var. bulgaricus ATCC 16045 were investigated. Parameters including the elution mode, linear rate, ionic strength, and elution pH were evaluated in order to achieve the best purification factor and recovery. The best purification factor and recovery were achieved in run 6 using a gradient elution mode with concentrations of NaCl ranging from 0 to 1 M, a linear flow rate of 100 cm/h and a pH value of 4.1. Under these conditions, the recovery was ~ 67.5% and the purification factor ~ 6.6-fold.
