Abstract:

Tender jackfruit is an underutilized biomass, which still has a good consumer demand. Valorization of this ingredient into meat analog would obtain greater consumer acceptance due to concerns about health, the environment, and living sustainably of mankind have increased significantly in this decade, opening the market for meat substitutes. The objective of this research was to create a plant-based meat substitute with a structure similar to meat products. In this study, three different combinations of tender jackfruit were used to create vegan burger patties, which were then examined for their textural, physico-chemical, and sensory qualities. The developed burger patties have been compared with store-bought chicken patties. The developed vegan burger patties P1, P2, and P3 had a comparable flavor preference to the control and demonstrated considerable general acceptability (p >.05). P3 has a high quantity of protein (17.10 ± 0.02%) and fiber (6.40 ± 0.06%). At the same time, the vegan burger patty resulted in less fat, high fiber, and high protein which meets the vegan consumer requirements.

Abstract:

This paper discusses Histories in Focus, a digital archive of vintage vernacular photographs centering Black, Indigenous, and People of Color (BIPOC) subjects. By reclaiming and contextualizing found imagery, the project challenges dominant archival paradigms that often erase or marginalize BIPOC histories. Drawing on decolonial methodologies, Histories in Focus seeks to disrupt power structures within traditional archives by reframing everyday photographs as essential records of lived experience. Central to the project is the interrogation of archival power: who curates, narrates, and decides what is preserved. Histories in Focus subverts the privileging of formal, elite histories by focusing on vernacular photographs -often overlooked in institutional collections. These images provide glimpses into the quotidian, offering counter-narratives to hegemonic representations. The project’s open-access digital platform further democratizes the archive, inviting global audiences to engage with and contribute to its expansion. Histories in Focus emphasizes rethinking and reshaping archival histories through interdisciplinary and inclusive methodologies. To root the archive in creative practices that foreground storytelling, collaboration, and reimagination, we will edit an anthology to inspire artists, writers, scholars, and other creatives to engage with the archive. This anthology will be rooted in creative practices prioritizing storytelling, collaboration, and reimagination. Archival images may inspire speculative narratives, poetic responses, or community-contributed histories, transforming the archive into an evolving and participatory space. The anthology will explore how these methodologies breathe new life into archival materials, fostering dynamic interactions that celebrate the diversity of BIPOC experiences. It will also address the delicate balance between preserving authenticity and embracing creative interpretation, challenging traditional notions of archival 'truth' and authority." This project contributes to the broader discourse on decolonizing the archive by weaving together archival theory, creative practice, and community engagement. It posits the archive as a living, contested space for ongoing dialogue, reclamation, and reimagining. The paper invites symposium attendees to consider how creative disruptions can transform archives from repositories of exclusion into platforms for equity and visibility.

Abstract:

This paper examines a collection of four fan letters written by two fans to the early film star, Lillian Gish. The letters were sent to Gish between 1929 and 1962 and were later archived at the New York Library of Performing Arts in Manhattan, New York. This paper also analyzes the media's portrayal of Gish during the time period of these written letters in order to identify parallels between the portrayal of Gish in the media and the perception of Gish by her fans, which is espoused in these fan letters. The media analyzed includes newspapers, fan magazines, Paine's 1932 biography Life and Lillian Gish, a film publicity poster for Gish's film Intolerance, and the film roles performed by Gish. Several parallels are found and assessed using the four processes of audience involvement with a media persona-transportation, parasocial interaction, identification, and worship.

Abstract:

Fly ash-slag based Geopolymer Cement (GPC) is presenting mechanical properties and environmental advantages that make it the predominant “green” alternative to Portland Cement (PC). Although numerous life-cycle analyses praising its environmental advantages, disposal after the end of its life remains as an issue that has been barely explored. The present study is investigating the recyclability of fly ash-slag GPC as aggregate in mortars. The purpose of the study was to evaluate the effect of GPC fine Recycled Aggregates (RA), at replacement levels of 25% and 50%, on the main mechanical properties of PC and GPC mortar mixes. The results were compared with those obtained by corresponding mixes incorporating natural and PC-RA. The main physical properties of GPC-RA were examined and proven to be comparable to those of PC-RA and slightly inferior to those of natural sand. A negligible effect was observed at 28-day compressive and flexural strength of PC mortars with GPC aggregates having a milder effect than PC. As far as GPC mortars are concerned, the influence of GPC aggregates was enhancing for the investigated mechanical properties. Additionally, a screening test showed that recycled geopolymer aggregates are not prone of inducing alkali silica reaction.
