Framework for early assessment of food safety hazards in the transition to a more sustainable food system: three case studies in the Vietnamese Mekong Delta by Rosa A. Safitri, Lianne M.S. Bouwman, Marianna Siegmund-Schultze, Tri Minh Nhan, Mohammed Ariful Islam, Esther D. van Asselt, Katja C.W. van Dongen

“…This study applied a qualitative framework to investigate changes in the occurrence of food safety hazards resulting from adopting adaptation strategies at primary production. We selected three case studies (CS) in the VMD: (1) adaptation in the usage and application of water sources for agricultural production, (2) shifting from monoculture rice, duck, and fish to an integrated crop-livestock farming, and (3) introduction of a new crop (i.e., quinoa). …”

Features of Visual Dysfunctions in Patients with Primary Hypothyroidism and Thyrotoxicosis by V. G. Likhvantseva, V. N. Trubilin, E. V. Korosteleva, S. G. Kapkova, V. A. Vygodin

“…The pattern of photosensitivity disorders, the topography of the location of the loci of local defects revealed by the short-wave infrared perimetry, indicate that the earliest signs of optical neuropathy are manifested at the level of photoreceptors — selectively in the S-cones. Decreased sensitivity to blue stimulus (440 nm) refers to an acquired color anomaly called tritanopia; which can be present with high visual function, is most often associated with a decrease in the number of S-cones and a deficiency of retinol (the source of cyanolab synthesis).…”

Methods for Adaptive Transformation of Content in Hypertext Format on Corporate TV and Information Kiosks of Educational Institutions by D. S. Filippov

“…In system engineering, the main emphasis (and, as a result, the key task) is on the absence of duplication of content for different types of output screens (including interactive touchscreen kiosks), which is especially important because the implemented system will be built on free, open-source technologies and integrated into the current university website, which no other proprietary Digital Signage software system can offer.Materials and methods: the study uses different methods of transformation and output of content, but adaptation methods based on cascading style sheets (CSS) are mainly used. …”
