Holistic approach importance

I have tried to make it clear that the LC-MS combination is usually more powerful that either of the individual techniques in isolation and that a holistic approach must be taken to the development of methodologies to provide data from which the required analytical information may be obtained. Data analysis is of crucial importance in this respect and for this reason the computer processing of LC-MS data is considered in some detail in both Chapters 3 and 5. 

Texture is an important parameter in determining the consumer s acceptance of dairy-based foods. Therefore, formulating and processing products with desirable attributes is key. Establishing relationships between milk fat composition, crystallization behavior, microstructure, and mechanical properties is therefore important. The following case studies will demonstrate how such links can be explored and the benefits of taking a holistic approach to understanding the behavior and properties of milk fat. 

COPD is linked with other co-morbid conditions. Patients are more likely to have ischaemic heart disease, pneumonia and diabetes, making treatment more complicated and requiring a holistic approach to care. This patient demonstrates five co-morbidities. These in turn impact on the medication load she has to cope with, so concordance is important. 

With the growing awareness for the protection of the environment, there is a greater need for producers to improve the environmental profile of their products. Consumers and regulatory bodies expect more information on the effects of products on the environment during their manufacture, use, and disposal. The Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) is used as a holistic approach to assess the impact of a product throughout its life cycle. An important aspect of LCA is recycling and waste management. 

The authors will explore these key issues and illustrate holistic approaches that impact on curriculum iimovation. They wiU draw examples from a range of applications of these important pedagogic concepts. 

When discussing the environmental impact of food production it is important to use a holistic approach. This approach tries to connect different goals, such as highest product quality and safety, highest production efficiency and the integration of environmental aspects into product development and food production. Within the concept every factor and aspect should be taken into account in a coherent manner (Laufenberg et al., 2003). Present R D in food technology is unthinkable... 

The quality (or state) of system safety and efficiency is determined by all the elements of the system and its environment converging. For instance, if your hydrogen unit will be in a submarine, different considerations come into play than if it will be in a factory setting. The environments are different, and certain space, safety and other factors are very important in one setting while they may not be relevant another. Designing a hydrogen system requires a holistic approach. You should always design a system with careful consideration of the conditions of its external environmental. 

IPPC is seen as an important element in achieving the overriding EU policy of sustainable development. The concept takes a holistic approach, covering the effect of emissions on all environmental media - that is, water, air and land. In the UK, a consultation paper was published in July 1997 for implementation of the IPPC Directive, which acknowledges that IPPC is wider than the UK IPC scheme. In addition to emissions of dangerous substances, it covers whole installations, not just processes, as well as dealing with matters such as waste disposal and energy efficiency. 

In the Preface, series editors Allan Church and Janine Waclawski thoughtfully and aptly highlight the importance of taking a comprehensive and holistic approach —as we have sought to do—to link diversity and inclusion (D I) work with the...
