Abstract: Processing of fruits to become a staple commodity is one way of addressing the cost and challenge of getting good nutrition at a lower price, especially if it maximizes the use of readily available and underutilized fruit as a source of food and nutrition. The high nutritional value of fruits that can help promote good health and well-being offers many opportunities for consumers. This paper aimed to describe the development of Kamias (Averrhoa bilimbi L.) in coconut water jam as a practical gourmet alternative that can be economically competitive in the market and can be made affordable to many. Its unique underrated nutritional value makes it even more, a revelation among the big names in the gourmet world. In order to maximize the nutritional benefits of this fruit at the same time to make known its potential operational utility, this paper describes the development of the kamias jam, its nutritional value, and its health benefits as stated in various studies that validate its nutritional and medicinal advantages and beneficial side effects. The use of coconut water enhances the sensory attributes in terms of the flavor and texture of the kamias jam. The development of value-added products from the kamias jam can generate good nutrition in the community and livelihood in the locality.

Abstract: The educational policy of King Otto, advised during his first years in Greece by Bavarian experts, caused considerable turmoil. Two organizational models were in use, the German one for the University and the French one for the Evelpidon Military School (Greek military academy) and the School of Technology (a forerunner of the Polytechnical School). France’s École Polytechnique remained nonetheless the basic educational model for the Greek military academy. The new educational policy created a number of scientific obstacles that did not favor the flourishing of mathematical education. The length of study at the Greek military academy Greek military academy increased to eight years and new mathematical courses were added to its program, so that its graduates would be able to take upper level technical courses. Bourdon’s Arithmetic, Legendre’s Geometry and Trigonometry, Francoeur’s Algebra, Monge’s Descriptive Geometry, Differential and Integral Calculus, etc, formed the basis of the cadets’ mathematical education. Mathematics was included in the subject matter so that the graduates would be in a position to understand the theoretical basis of the technology employed, as well as, crucially, to help the cadets understand upper-level technical courses. Another reason for the teaching of Mathematics was the materialization of the political goal set by the governments of the Ottonian period, that is access to Europe’s technological achievements. The introduction of additional and more difficult upper-level technical courses required the introduction of new mathematical courses to the program.

Abstract: Background Stomatology is a discipline closely combined with theory and practice, and pays attention to students’ operation abilities and clinical skills. Current dental education is encountering the situation of more theory than practice. The evaluation and application of standardized patients (SP) are gradually increasing in medical education. Objective This paper intends to describe the advantages of student standardized patients (SSP), how to construct and apply SSP for dental education. Method Recruit SP of stomatology students, and select appropriate cases based on the actual cases and common dental diseases. SSP training is conducted by experienced clinical teachers.
