Improvement of physical, physicochemical, and rheological characteristics of sunn pest (Eurygaster integriceps) damaged wheat by blending

Abstract: This study was undertaken to investigate the effects of blending to improve the physical, physicochemical, and rheological characteristics of high level sunn pest damaged wheat (HLSPDW). HLSPDW (20.6%) variety (Sagittario) was blended at seven different levels with the sound wheat (SW) of same variety. When HLSPDW was blended with SW, the harm of sunn pest was relatively reduced. With an increasing SW portion in the blend, also physical, physicochemical, and rheological characteristics of wheat increased. The HLSPDW used in blending was found more decisive than SW in determination of the wheat, flour, and dough quality. Therefore, one has to be very careful about the ratio of HLSPDW mass used in the blending process. Otherwise, an SW sample could be wasted through blending with HLSPDW. The blending treatment alone is insufficient for improving the quality of HLSPDW, however this technique can be implemented in combination with some other methods such as using additives in bread-making.

The determination of intercultural sensitivity and ethnocentrism levels among nurses and nursing students: A border of city, Turkey

Abstract: AIM The current study is a descriptive-comparative study and aims to determine intercultural sensitivity and ethnocentrism levels among nurses and nursing students METHOD The study was conducted with 207 nurses working at a State Hospital and 211 nursing students studying at a University between November 30, 2019, and January 20, 2020 The data were collected using a descriptive characteristics form, the Intercultural Sensitivity Scale, and the Ethnocentrism Scale FINDINGS It was found that both nurses and nursing students (734% and 607%, respectively) struggled to communicate with foreign patients and experienced problems with cultural differences (498% and 227%, respectively) A statistically significant negative correlation was found for the nurses and nursing students in terms of their intercultural sensitivity and ethnocentrism scores (p < 05) PRACTICAL IMPLICATION Nurses and student nurses should interact with people from different cultures to improve refugee health care
