- ItemOpen AccessObstacles to Diversification: Lived Experiences of Visible Minority Applicants and Faculty Members in Psychology(Canadian Psychological Association, 2025-03-27) Tze, Virginia; Li, Johnson Ching HongThe profession of psychology demonstrably lacks diversity, with inequitably low numbers of visible minorities represented in the field. Although equity, diversity, and inclusion as a social advocacy movement has received increasing attention within the profession and at the university level, changes are thus far too small to be noticeable. Little is known about the lived experiences of minority applicants applying to professional psychology graduate programs nor the experiences of faculty members involved in student selection processes. We interviewed eight unsuccessful minority applicants, and eight faculty members affiliated with Canadian professional training programs to identify obstacles in diversifying the profession. Thematic analysis of interview data revealed that obstacles were multifaceted, ranging from unsuccessful minority applicants reporting lack of support during the application process and feeling worried about the impact of their identities to faculty members expressing insufficient resources to provide mentorship experiences to minority undergraduate students. We discuss the practical implications of the obstacles identified in relation to how to dismantle those systemic barriers.
- ItemOpen AccessEffect of dry-fractionated pea protein on the physicochemical properties and the nutritional features of gluten-free focaccia flat bread(Elsevier, 2023-05-20) De Angelis, Davide; Vurro, Francesca; Santamaria, Maria; Garzon, Raquel; Rosell, Cristina M; Summo, Carmine; Pasqualone, AntonellaThe aim of this work was to formulate a gluten-free focaccia flat bread based on rice and corn flour fortified with dry-fractionated pea protein concentrate (55 g/100 g protein content). A simplex-centroid mixture design with ten formulations helped to study how the flour ratios influenced the physical and sensory properties of dough and breads. The special cubic model significantly described all the responses determined in the dough and flour mixes, and most of those determined in the focaccia. The pea protein concentrate influenced the pasting properties of the flour mixes resulting in a decrease of viscosity. The midpoint of the experimental domain (focaccia containing 5 g/100 g of pea protein concentrate and 20 g/100 g of rice flour and corn flour each) was optimal, being not affected by the discolorations typical of pea (a* = 11.97, b* = 31.86, corresponding to an orange hue), having crumb hardness and chewiness of 9.11 N and 4.83 N, respectively, and moderate legume odor and flavor (5.6 and 5.3 c.u. in a 0–9 scale, respectively). The selected formulation could be labelled as “source of protein” (energy value provided by proteins >12%), “source of fiber” (fiber >3 g/100 g), and “low-fat” (fat <3 g/100 g).
- ItemOpen AccessUnderstanding the marketed plant-based beverages: From ingredients technological function to their nutritional value(Elsevier, 2023-06-10) Grau-Fuentes, Eva; Rodrigo, Dolores; Garzon, Raquel; Rosell, Cristina MDespite the market expansion of plant-based beverages (PBB) there is limited information about what is driven the market and the nutritional status of the existing beverages. The objective was to identify the existing gaps in the PBB market with particular emphasis on their composition and nutritional value. PBB are mainly based on individual flour/powder and blends and sunflower oil is frequently present, besides gellan gum to stabilize the emulsion. In general, PBB are low calorie drinks (10–84 Kcal/ 100 mL), with low amount of saturated fat (0.1–1.90 g/ 100 mL) and fibers, and large variation in proteins (0.1–12 g/ 100 mL). The calcium fortification of PBB is comparable to the calcium levels of whole cow's milk, although the vitamin fortification is low. Analysis reveals that salt and oil reduction, as well as fibers enrichment might drive future innovations.
- ItemOpen AccessImpact of germination on the techno-functional properties, nutritional composition, and health-promoting compounds of brown rice and its products: A review(Wiley, 2023-11-24) Chinma, Chiemela Enyinnaya; Adedeji, Olajide Emmanuel; Jolayemi, Olusola Samuel; Ezeocha, Vanessa Chinelo; Ilowefah, Muna Abdulsalam; Rosell, Cristina M; Abedo, Janet Adeyinka; Wilkin, Jonathan D; Adebo, Oluwafemi AyodejiRice is a popular grain and forms part of the daily diet of people throughout the world. However, the consumption of rice and its products is sometimes limited by its high glycemic index due to its high starch content, low protein content and quality, and low bioavailability of minerals due to the presence of anti-nutritional factors. This has partly stimulated research interest in recent times toward the use of bioprocessing techniques such as germination as cheap and natural means to improve the nutritional quality, digestibility, and health properties of cereals, including rice, to partially achieve nutrition and food security in the developing regions of the world. This review highlights the impact of germination on the nutritional quality, health-promoting properties, and techno-functional characteristics of germinated brown rice grains and their products. The review demonstrated that germinated rice grains and their products have improved nutritional quality and digestibility, modified functional properties, and showed antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, anti-diabetic, anti-obesity, anti-cancer, and anti-cardiovascular activities. Germination appears to be a suitable bioprocessing method to improve the nutritional quality and bioactive constituents and modify the techno-functional properties of rice grains for diverse food applications and improved global nutrition and food safety.
- ItemOpen AccessMore than Style Guides(Association of College and Research Libraries, 2025-03-27) Clark, Sarah; Monnin, CarolineAs librarians, we spend a great deal of time teaching students how to create proper citations and abide by the rules set out in various style guides. When participating in this kind of work, it can be easy to focus on the advantages, such as helping learners avoid academic misconduct and gain skills that will benefit them in assignment completion and even beyond their academic studies. This type of support is frequently requested by students and instructors alike, but it does not come without its challenges. In recent years, there has been much attention on issues related to diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) including the emergence of citation justice. Citation justice aims to address the citation gap of minority researchers due to systemic failures. This concept involves “the deliberate act of citing more work authored by people from marginalized communities in society and in academia” such as individuals who identify as BIPOC or S2LGBTQIA+ (Coalter, 2023, p. 62). According to Mott and Cockayne (2017), “the choices we make about whom to cite – and who is then left out of the conversation – directly impact the cultivation of a rich and diverse discipline” (p. 955). Therefore, citation justice offers students an opportunity to establish positive change by highlighting scholars in their own work that have traditionally been excluded. This topic has the potential to influence the types of sources our students find, read, use, and ultimately cite. Citation justice affects our students’ research and writing processes in profound and complex ways, yet are these elements integrated into citation-related resources and services? And if not, why is replicating appropriate style guide information our only goal? How can we foster critical thinking and encourage students to reflect on why and how citations are disseminated? In considering such questions, two librarians began a research project focused on these very things. In the fall of 2023, they completed an evaluation of citation support offered by the top 15 research-intensive Canadian universities (known as the U15) combined with a thorough literature review. Inspired by their findings, the librarians decided to introduce citation justice by adding new content to the library's primary citation LibGuide as well as integrating it into a new workshop for undergraduate and graduate students. Citing is so much more than simply writing a reference, and as librarians, it is crucial for our practice to evolve to help students understand and learn from historical and emerging citation challenges . Librarians can assist students in developing the skills to make informed and thoughtful decisions about which citations they use, and how to be aware of and apply citation justice within their own writing. As scholars themselves, it is only right for students to learn to be critical, curious and informed about the sources they encounter. In this session, presenters will share their own experiences in moving beyond traditional citation instruction and share strategies to help participants transform their own resources and services to support student learning in a holistic way.
