Coconut globulins (CG) possesses potential as an emulsifier but has not been utilized well. In this study, the emulsifying performance of glycated CG-fucoidan (CGF) complexes, and the relationship between emulsifying stability and interfacial behavior were investigated. The results showed that the grafting of fucoidan increased the molecular weight of CG, and decreased the zeta potential and fluorescence intensity. With the higher glycosylation degree, the fucoidan modified CG exhibited better emulsifying stability and higher viscosity. Moreover, the result of adsorption kinetics revealed that elasticity was the main property of the interface layer. Compared to CG, CGF complexes with high degree of glycosylation had thicker interfacial layer on the oil-water interface. A thicker elastic interfacial layer may be beneficial to the emulsion stability, owing to the strong interaction of electrostatic repulsion and steric hindrance between oil droplets. These findings may provide useful information for glycated CGF complexes as emulsifiers in functional food.

Alum is the most used vaccine adjuvant, due to its safety, low cost and adjuvanticity to various antigens. However, the mechanism of action of alum is complex and not yet fully understood, and the immune responses elicited can be weak and antigen-dependent. While several antigens rapidly desorb from alum upon exposure to serum, phosphorylated proteins remain tightly bound through a ligand-exchange reaction with surface hydroxyls on alum.

Universal school-based socio-emotional learning (SEL) programs for adolescents have shown their efficacy in producing positive outcomes. The aim of the current study is to present an original school-based program and project for adolescents- - and to assess the relationship between participation in the project and students' socio-emotional skills. Based on the character strengths and virtues model, this online school radio project aimed at promoting communication, creative thinking, adaptability, and resilience skills in adolescents and giving them the opportunity to become influential agents of well-being and citizenship.

The disposal of stone waste derived from the stone industry is a worldwide problem. The shortage of landfills, as well as transport costs and environmental pollution, pose a crucial problem. Additionally, as a substitute for cement that has high carbon emissions, energy consumption, and pollution, the disposal of stone wastes by utilizing solid waste-based binders as road base materials can achieve the goal of "waste for waste".
