Estrategia y publicidad electoral: los spots de campaña en Andalucía 2008 y 2012
Authors: García Hipola Giselle
Published: April 2018

La presente investigación versa sobre el análisis de dos campañas electorales que se corresponden con dos elecciones regionales en Andalucía que son las de 2008 y 2012. En este contexto se analiza de manera concreta la publicidad electoral llevada a cabo y concretamente los spots. Este artículo expone los resultados de una investigación centrada en determinar cómo afectó dicha propaganda política-electoral a las estrategias persuasivas que utilizaron en sus 25 vídeos electorales las tres principales fuerzas políticas Partido Popular, Partido Socialista e Izquierda Unida. La metodología utilizada se divide en dos enfoques que abordan los diferentes aspectos de manera cualitativa y cuantitativa. Dicha estrategia metodológica se divide en variables de análisis como son la estructura, el diseño, el contenido, la dirección y la estrategia, los temas, los participantes y los grupos sociales y finalmente las metáforas que se utilizaron en los diferentes spots. Es por ello, que la presente investigación ayuda a conocer las estrategias que utilizan los diferentes partidos políticos en ambas campañas y cuáles fueron sus consecuencias.
La importancia de la formación ciudadana en la democracia mexicana
Authors: Padilla González María Concepción
Published: April 2018

El presente trabajo aborda el tema de la formación ciudadana en la educación básica de México. Para comprender la manera en la que el Estado, a través de las autoridades educativas, forma a los estudiantes para la ciudadanía, se hace uso de teorías pedagógicas y politológicas, que dan cuenta de la importancia de la formación ciudadanía en una buena democracia. En el 2012, el presidente Enrique Peña Nieto, impulsó la Reforma educativa cuya finalidad es asegurar la calidad de la educación a través de la formación docente y la mejora de la infraestructura en los centros escolares. Por desagracia, las reformas en materia de educación le han dado poca importancia a la manera en la que los contenidos de las materias y las prácticas pedagógicas forman a cierto tipo de ciudadano, que se desenvolverá en la esfera pública y que su comportamiento dependerá de los mecanismos e instrumentos que disponga para ejercer sus derechos y su intervención en la toma de decisiones. En este orden de ideas, es vital analizar los documentos que ha presentado la Secretaría de Educación Pública como complemento de la Reforma Educativa, para determinar qué tipo de ciudadano se pretende formar y cuáles son las herramientas que se le otorga para que el alumno forme un pensamiento crítico y analítico, que le permita participar en la política y sea capaz de discernir y emitir un juicio lógico.
A High-Resolution Map of Meiotic Recombination in Cryptococcus deneoformans Demonstrates Decreased Recombination in Unisexual Reproduction

Published: April 2018

Multiple species within the basidiomycete genus Cryptococcus cause cryptococcal disease. These species are estimated to affect nearly a quarter of a million people leading to ∼180,000 mortalities, annually. Sexual reproduction, which can occur between haploid yeasts of the same or opposite mating type, is a potentially important contributor to pathogenesis as recombination can generate novel genotypes and transgressive phenotypes. However, our quantitative understanding of recombination in this clinically important yeast is limited. Here, we describe genome-wide estimates of recombination rates in Cryptococcus deneoformans and compare recombination between progeny from α–α unisexual and a–α bisexual crosses. We find that offspring from bisexual crosses have modestly higher average rates of recombination than those derived from unisexual crosses. Recombination hot and cold spots across the C. deneoformans genome are also identified and are associated with increased GC content. Finally, we observed regions genome-wide with allele frequencies deviating from the expected parental ratio. These findings and observations advance our quantitative understanding of the genetic events that occur during sexual reproduction in C. deneoformans, and the impact that different forms of sexual reproduction are likely to have on genetic diversity in this important fungal pathogen.

Published: April 2018

OBJECTIVES:

Although health care providers and systems are increasingly interested in patients’ nonmedical needs as a means to improve health, little is known about neighborhood conditions that contribute to child health problems. We sought to determine if a novel, publicly available measure of neighborhood context, the Child Opportunity Index, was associated with pediatric acute care visit frequency and diagnoses.

METHODS:

This cross-sectional study included San Francisco residents <18 years of age with an emergency department and/or urgent care visit to any of 3 medical systems (N = 47 175) between 2007 and 2011. Hot-spot analysis was used to compare the spatial distribution of neighborhood child opportunity and income. Generalized estimating equation logistic regression models were used to examine independent associations between neighborhood child opportunity and frequent acute care use (≥4 visits per year) and diagnosis group after adjusting for neighborhood income and patient age, sex, race and/or ethnicity, payer, and health system.

RESULTS:

Neighborhood child opportunity and income had distinct spatial distributions, and we identified different clusters of high- and low-risk neighborhoods. Children living in the lowest opportunity neighborhoods had significantly greater odds of ≥4 acute care visits per year (odds ratio 1.33; 95% confidence interval 1.03–1.73) compared with those in the highest opportunity neighborhoods. Neighborhood child opportunity was negatively associated with visits for respiratory conditions, asthma, assault, and ambulatory care–sensitive conditions but positively associated with injury-related visits.

CONCLUSIONS:

The Child Opportunity Index could be an effective tool for identifying neighborhood factors beyond income related to child health.
A review of lignocellulosic biochar modification towards enhanced biochar selectivity and adsorption capacity of potentially toxic elements
Authors: Chemerys V. , Baltrėnaitė E.
Published: April 2018

Biochar, which is rich in aromatic carbon and minerals, is a product of biomass pyrolysis at temperatures ranging from 350°C to 1000°C in oxygen-limited environments. In recent years biochar has generated much interest in the field of water treatment in view of low production costs, availability of the feedstock (e.g. lignocellulosic biomass waste) and adsorptive properties. This review incorporates researches on artificial and natural modifications of biochar towards adsorption of potentially toxic elements on biochar. The aim of this study was to provide a comprehensive review of recent research findings and theory developments on the existing modifications of biochar for adsorption of potentially toxic elements (i.e. inorganic compounds) from aqueous solutions. Factors affecting adsorption of potentially toxic elements by lignocellulosic biochar and modification techniques for lignocellulosic biochar towards enhanced adsorption of potentially toxic elements were analyzed. The novelty of this study is discussion of the natural modifications of biochar and smart properties of biochar towards adsorption of potentially toxic elements. Recommendations are offered for modifying the lignocellulosic biochar to produce designed, engineered or smart biochar with  high adsorption capacity for potentially toxic elements.

Authors: Kurdyukova O. M.
Published: April 2018

The main cause of wide presence of weeds in segetal and ruderal habitats is their high seed production capacity. It defined in expressly establishing field experiments, in industrial sowings, in segetal and ruderal habitats of steppe zones of Ukraine. It is determined that average fruitfulness of weeds in ruderal habitats was larger, than in segetal habitats by 3.8 times, and indexes of the maximum fruitfulness – by 4.0 times and reached accordingly 7028 and 9345 pieces, and 20112 and 98337 pieces. In segetal habitats monocotyledonous species of weeds on seed production on conceded dicotyledonous species by 2.9–3.7 times, and on ruderal habitats – by 9.8–10.5 times. Average seed production of monocotyledonous plants made up accordingly 3594 and 5660, and dicotyledonous – 12417 and 55629 pieces of seeds from one plant. Most species of monocotyledonous weeds (56,1 %) formed on one plant from 1 to 10 thousand pieces of seeds, and dicotyledonous weeds (37,9 %) – more than 10 thousand pieces of seeds. In segetal habitats the maximum seed production had families Asteraceae, Brassicaceae, Chenopodiaceae, Lamiaceae, and on ruderal habitats – Asteraceae, Chenopodiaceae, Caryophyllaceae, Apiaceae, Brassicaceae. The highest seed production the most widespread and abundant in sowings and on ruderal habitats had weeds: Convolvulus arvensis L., Ambrosia artemisiifolia L., Cynodon dactylon (L.) Pers., Echinochloa crus-galli (L.) P.Beauv., Eragrostis minor Host, Descurainia sophia (L.) Webb ex Prantl, Cirsium arvense (L.) Scop., Chenopodium album L., Amaranthus retroflexus L., etc. The greatest reserve weed seeds in soil in segetal habitats descended at the expense of species from genera Amaranthus, Galium, Cirsium, Setaria, and on ruderal habitats – Amaranthus, Chenopodium, Plantago, etc. In segetal habitats proof presence of weeds of genera with low seed production was sustained at the expense of their larger number of species, and genera with low number of species – at the expense of high seed production. In ruderal habitats – as at the expense of larger number of species, and their high seed production. The absolute maximum of seed production in segetal habitats have been reached at weeds of genera Amaranthus, Cirsium, Galium – from 3288 to 242266 pieces, and in ruderal habitats – Amaranthus, Chenopodium, Plantago – from 108903 to 1911683 pieces from one plant.

Summarized results of numerous publications and own research the origin of podzolized soils. It is shown in common national literature and alternative views on the origin of acid lowland and mountain soils. From the beginning, the emergence of the science of soil are ongoing debate about the origin of genetically close to the chernozem, but located slightly north than main array of the latest - gray forest and sod- podzolized soils, especially those of them who are long time not under forest vegetation. Most domestic researchers consider that the determining factor in the formation of a certain type of soil is the type of vegetation. Humus can be formed only from leaf litter. Where are widespread chernozem type, there has always been the herbaceous formation, and where are podzolized chernozem or gray forest soils, not to mention about the sod- podzolized soils – where were forests. This idea about a decisive role of vegetation in forming of soil types arose by V.V. Dokuchaev during study of soils of Nizhny Novgorod province. Alternative views, including labor O.H.Naboks, received strong objections and were forgotten. In the second half of the twentieth century began to appear works that have not proving popular in domestic scientists’ opinion, as if under the forest vegetation can be formed humus. Under the forest, soil is more acidic because with root secretions coming into soil more hydrogen ions which acidify the environment, which promote absorption of soluble nutrients, particularly phosphorus. The variety of soil of lowland areas in Ukraine, mainly determined by the characteristics of the water regime. If hydrothermal ratio close to 1.0 - formed chernozem. A slight flushing of soil thickness leads leaching of alkaline elements - are formedalkaline chernozem. A considerable flushing makes from the upper horizons not only soluble compounds but also partly silt fraction - is a process silt less and as a result are formed podzolized chernozem.  And by weakening of the process of turf accumulation of humus are decreases, and are forming dark-gray and gray podzolized or forest soils.

This article presents the data on the total liquid maintance and correlation of their classes in the sow’s colostrum and milk, depending on the level of Iodine in the rations. It is shown that in the sow’s colostrum (F1 generation from maternal pure lines of Landrace x Large white) the content of total lipids is 33% (Р < 0.01) higher than in milk. It was established that the level of triacylglycerols in the colostrum of the control group of animals, that has received a ration of potassium iodide as a mineral supplements, was 18.7% (Р < 0.01) higher than in milk. Compared with the milk, the level of phospholipids was 13,5% (Р < 0.05) significantly higher in the colostrum; and by 23.6% (Р < 0.05) – the content offree cholesterol. And Vice versa – in the sows’ milk there was higher concentration of mono – and diacylglycerol and eterified cholesterol. In account of a better bioavailability and a higher activity, Iodine, in the form of aquacart, shows a stimulatory effect on lipogenesis in amounts that, in comparison with the dose of Iodine in molecular form is 2 and even 4 times less. Hydration of the dry sows’ feed with the aquacare iodine in such a quantity provided the growth of the percent of phospholipids in colostrum, comparing with the control by 14.4 and 18.4% (Р < 0.05). Under such conditions the content of free cholesterol was also significantly higher. In groups of animals, treated with the maximum analyzed amount of Iodine in nanodispersed form (1 : 1 ratio of Iodine in nano - and molecular form), we observed a tendency to a slight increasing of the phospholipids and mono – and diacylglycerol in the colostrum, and Vice versa –  the content of phospholipids, free cholesterol and free fatty acids reduced under obviously insufficient doses of Iodine (0.1 : 1).  Under the maximum necessary amount of Iodine in the rations (0.25 – 0.5 : 1) of the sows’ milk, the content of mono – and diacylglycerole encreased, compared with the control group 16.6 (Р < 0.01) and 9.3% (Р < 0.05), under the tendency to a higher percentage of phospholipids on the background of a reducing level of free fatty acids. After including gestating and further lactating sows to the rations of Iodine in the form of aquacart in a dose that is 10 times less than the amount of the composition of potassium iodide, it was notified that content of triacylglycerols, phospholipids and free cholesterol in milk was decreased. Thus, aquacart Iodine covers a need of the thyroid body in Iodine for the harmonic interval processes and its regulatory impact on metabolic processes, including lipid metabolism in much smaller quantities than in an inorganic form.
Credibility as a Moral Virtue?
Authors: Mazur Piotr Stanisław
Published: April 2018

The aim of this article is to discuss the moral aspect credibility of the human person. The author proposes to link credibility with truthfulness, which is a feature of formal speech, when it is in agreement with the “transference of the thought of the speaking person.” Truthfulness is a constant and perpetual readiness of the will to render to every man the truth that is due him. The credibility of the human person is the result of truthfulness, meaning that he is someone who is trustworthy (authority) with accessto the truth in any field. Due to the good of the human person, it is necessary not only to be truthful, but also to skillfully use this truthfulness to become credible. Credibility is the virtue of human practical reason that allows the person use his own truthfulness so he can be a trustworthy person. For this reason the author calls it prudent truthfulness.
Dwa wymiary nicości. Gershom Scholem i paradoksy mistyki żydowskiej
Authors: Sawczyński Piotr
Published: April 2018

Artykuł jest próbą analizy kabalistycznej filozofii Gershoma Scholema w kontekście pojęcia nicości, które odgrywa w żydowskiej kabale kluczową rolę. Stawiam tezę, że myśl Scholema można określić mianem „dwóch wymiarów nicości”, odpowiadających pojęciom stworzenia i objawienia. Koncepcję nicości stworzenia omawiam na podstawie kabały Luriańskiej, będącej dla Scholema jednym z głównych źródeł inspiracji, zaś nicość objawienia odczytuję przez pryzmat twórczości Franza Kafki, której Scholem również poświęcił wiele uwagi. Pozwala to na oryginalną interpretację myśli Scholema, w której nicość nie konotuje nihilizmu, lecz zdradza znaczący potencjał produktywności.

Published: April 2018

Pollution is one of the major problems that mankind faces nowadays. Society’s expectations of waste water treatment have evolved over time. While protecting aquatic environment and public health continues to be a paramount concern, the desire to recover clean water, energy and useful resources from waste water is getting increasingly stronger today. The current study aims to reduce the pollution of water and air resulting from the biological treatment process by using a new technique (pressurised sequencing batch reactor (SBR) model) through improvement of waste water treatment performance and control of the surplus air resulting from the aeration process and reusing it more than once in the aeration process. The results showed that the pressurised SBR model compared with conventional SBR model enhanced the biochemical oxygen demand removal, the total suspended solids removal and total dissolved solids removal by 6, 8 and 12%, respectively, at a gauge pressure of 0·5 atm and by about 9, 15 and 19%, respectively, at a gauge pressure of 2 atm. In addition, the enhancement in the nitrogen and phosphorus removal was remarkable.
Determining the Strategies on Turkish Automotive Sector Using Fuzzy AHP Based on the SWOT Analysis

Published: April 2018

In order to outmaneuver
increasing competition, organizations must plan their strategies for managing
the future. Yet, planning is not solely adequate. It is important to ensure the
sustainability of feasible plans which are supported by performance
evaluations, and to focus on strategies that which pay attention to demands and
expectations of stakeholders.   

The most prominent features of
the real-life problems are multiple criteria, complexity and uncertainty.
Benefiting from expert and stakeholder views help to reach optimal solutions of
those problems. Taking advantage of artificial intelligence techniques would
also contribute to the achievement of optimal results.

Strategy Focused Model (SFM)
aims to provide the most optimal possible solutions to real-life problems that
require multi-criteria decision making. In SFM, the views of stakeholders and
strategists are input into the decision making process. The main criteria of a
problem establish the mainframe of the model, and these criteria are utilized
in SWOT analysis. Hence, SWOT analysis is developed to Sectional SWOT analysis
(SSWOT) and become more effective in determining strategies. SFM suggests the
use of SSWOT analysis. The model requires to determine the weights of criteria
and sub-criteria as well as the weights of stakeholders’ and strategists’
views. Thereafter, those weights enter into the decision making process.
Although there are various methods to calculate those weights, Fuzzy Analytic
Hierarchy Process (FAHP) is the one used in this study. For Turkish branded
automobile production, SFM is applied and results are obtained and discussed.

Toward a More Perfect Union: Increasing Student Assistant Efficacy through an Online Training Program
Authors: Minniear Jacob , Hornbaker Jennifer
Published: April 2018

Using domestic student teaching assistants (SAs) in the ESOL classroom has been widely accepted as an effective tool for enhancing student learning. SAs have been shown to facilitate student participation in the classroom, foster students’ confidence in interacting with native speakers, and serve as a connection to the local culture (Lynch & Anderson, 2001). To capitalize on the benefits afforded by SAs, the AEC has, since 2007, integrated SAs into level one courses. However, research literature underscores that, to maximize SA efficacy, SAs must be purposefully trained for their roles (Gube & Phillipson, 2011; Kachi & Choon-hwa, 2001; Underhill & McDonald, 2010; Williams, 1991). As new GTAs, we observed that the AEC’s SAs represent a broad range of personalities, facilities, and experiences. Given these variances in SAs’ skills, we found ourselves questioning to what standard of knowledge we could and should hold them. Defining such a standard would enable teachers to design class activities that most productively draw upon the strengths of SAs without overstepping the boundaries of their expertise. Three lines of inquiry arose out of this realization: 1) What are the expectations of SAs at the AEC? 2) Do the AEC’s current, procedure-focused SA training practices satisfactorily prepare SAs to meet these expectations? If not, 3) how can the training program be improved to make the presence of SAs in the classroom more fruitful for students, teachers, and SAs alike?
When Placement is Irrelevant: A Counselor’s Dilemma
Authors: Berardo Marcellino
Published: April 2018

Counselors help explain AEC policy to students. One of the most important policies at the AEC is the placement policy. Placement depends on different factors such as proficiency test scores, previous course work, grades, and teacher recommendations. The AEC considers these factors to move students up to the next level or pass them out of the program. In general, students are ecstatic when they pass, happy when they move up and less happy when they don’t. On rare occasions, counselors come across a situation where this general rule does not apply. Placement is irrelevant.

Nowadays, one of the most significantly improving area in security is the world of biometric identifiers. Within the biometric identifiers, the research group is working with the gait recognition speciality. The research group realized a complex gait recognition system in NI LabVIEW, that can detect more reference points simultaneously with a universal camera and is capable of suiting predetermined curves on the detected points. Moreover, the program can compare the functions suited on the reference curve and the actual curve and evaluate if the two gait images are the same or not. In the program there is a saving and a reloading function which cont ributes to the production of the reference gait image. The foot analysis program before the gait recognition is designed to improve accuracy. The self-developed gait recognition system was tested on more persons and the False Acceptance Rate (FAR) was zero.

Las resonancias del pasado: apuntes para un estudio diacrónico y sincrónico de una hinchada del fútbol argentino
Authors: Cabrera Nicolás
Published: April 2018

Las hinchadas –comúnmente conocidas como “barras bravas”– han devenido en un actor central de las prácticas y narrativas del fútbol contemporáneo. El escrito aquí presentado buscar comprender la mutación histórica de un caso específico de ellas a partir de una lectura en clave generacional. Tomando los relatos y las trayectorias de sujetos de tres generaciones diferentes de la hinchada estudiada, el trabajo se articula sobre dos ejes fundamentales que dialogan entre sí: por un lado proponemos una dimensión sincrónica que pretende mostrar la interdependencia constitutiva que existe entre la lógica organizativa que adquiere la hinchada, los patrones de legitimación que estructuran su organigrama interno y las prácticas y representaciones asociadas a la violencia que se dan en un momento histórico especifico; por el otro lado se presenta un eje diacrónico que busca leer en clave procesual y generacional los universos morales que posibilitan un complejo y dinámico repertorio de identificaciones, diferenciaciones y jerarquizaciones al interior de la hinchada a lo largo del tiempo.
Dos campos de futebol para os campos de batalha: uma análise da Guerra dos Bálcãs
Authors: Narcizo Makchwell Coimbra
Published: April 2018

A Guerra dos Balcãs ganhou importância na história recente da Europa por conta de sua violência e crueldade, algo que os europeus julgavam superado no continente, visto que ocorreu no fim do século XX. Apesar de ser algo quase que folclórico o fato de que os conflitos tenham começado em uma partida de futebol, a importância desse esporte  no desenrolar da guerra é pouco explorada. A intenção do presente trabalho é tratar da influência do futebol não apenas no início, mas no desenrolar dos conflitos, passando por uma necessária reflexão sobre identidade.

Cette étude présente une analyse sur la prostitution dans le cadre de la Coupe du monde de football 2014 au Brésil, au travers des projets distincts mis en place dans deux villes d’accueil : Belo Horizonte (Sud-est) et Recife (Nord-est). Par le biais d’une approche qualitative – entretiens, observations et photographies – ce thème est exposé en mettant l’accent sur les aspects sociaux et la participation des groupes exclus à l’égard des événements sportifs. Bien que, à court terme, les résultats des projets soient satisfaisants, à long terme, des mesures socio-éducatives effectives doivent être priorisées pour améliorer la situation des acteurs impliqués. Tant la question de la prostitution, que le tourisme sexuel infantile, doivent être débattus davantage à la fois dans la société et dans le monde académique.

Authors: Akkuş Taş Nilay , Şenocak Ayşegül , Aydın Ali
Published: April 2018

In this study, we prepared nine Schiff bases by
condensation of amino acid methyl esters (isoleucine, phenylalanine and
methionine) with salicylaldehyde derivatives (2,4-dihydroxybenzaldehyde,
2-hydroxy-3-methoxybenzaldehyde and 5-bromo-2-hydroxybenzaldehyde) and
characterized by various spectroscopic methods (FT-IR, UV-Vis and NMR techniques).
FT-IR and UV-Vis spectra exhibited characteristic peaks for all imine
compounds. NMR spectra pointed out the imine bond which is the indicator of the
formation of Schiff bases. Besides, antiproliferative and cytotoxic features of
the Schiff bases were examined by using MTT cell proliferation and LDH
cytotoxicity assays, respectively. Amongst the synthesized Schiff bases, compound
3d exhibited a very strong
antiproliferative effect against all cells except A549. The experimental studies
revealed that the Schiff bases synthesized in this study, especially 3d, have an important potential to
enter drug development studies.

Published: April 2018

Este trabalho apresenta uma configuração topológica que permite utilizar o estágio de entrada de uma UPS de dupla conversão como retificador trifásico, em modo normal de operação, e como conversor CC/CC elevador de tensão, em modo bateria. Dessa forma, evita-se o uso de um circuito específico para a descarga do banco de baterias, o qual deve ser dimensionado para a potência nominal da UPS. É apresentada a análise de funcionamento do estágio de entrada proposto, bem como a modelagem matemática e o sistema de controle que garantem a aplicabilidade na correção do fator de potência de entrada, no controle da tensão de barramento e ainda no equilíbrio das tensões sobre os capacitores de barramento. A metodologia desenvolvida e a boa performance do sistema proposto são validados através de resultados obtidos em uma plataforma hardware-in-the-loop, modelo Typhoon HIL402. Os resultados são adquiridos para uma UPS trifásica de 20 kVA.

Ibuprofen is a non-steroid anti inflammatory drug (NSAID) used for rheumatoid arthritis treatment. In this study, formulation, evaluation, and optimization of ibuprofen gel formula were conducted in order to determine the best ibuprofen penetration rate through the rats skin using propylene glycol and ethanol as penetration enhancers and to find out the optimum formula to get the best penetration rate with simplex lattice design method. Evaluations included organoleptic, pH, viscosity, gel dispersive, assay of gel formulations, and ibuprofen penetration rate assay. Penetration rate was determined by paddle type dissolution and the samples were analyzed by spectrophotometry UV-Vis. The results of ibuprofen penetration rate assay were analyzed and optimized using design expert trial version 10. The results of ibuprofen penetration rate were F1 1.524 ± 0.121 µg/cm2.minute; F2 1.945 ± 0.0104 µg/cm2.minute; and F3 1.173 ± 0.216 µg/cm2.minute. Penetration rate optimization resulted in one optimum solution formula which was 18.000% propylene glycol and 12.000% ethanol with a maximum flux of 1.957 ug/cm2.minute and desirability 1. It can be concluded that the best ibuprofen penetration rate was F2 with flux 1.945 ± 0.0104 µg/cm2.minute with 15% propylene glycol and 15% ethanol.

Hypertension is ranked third on the cause of death in Indonesia for all ages (6.8 %). Protein isolate of melinjo seeds (Gnetum gnemon L.) hydrolyzed with free alcalase has been known to have antihypertensive activity. However, the use of free alcalase is uneconomical since it can only be used once, thus we studied the immobilized alcalase effectivity to hydrolise the melinjo seeds protein isolate to be used as angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitor. The immobilization method used entrapment method with DMDMOS/TMOS as matrix. Characterization of the immobilized enzyme was observed by FTIR and effectiveness of repeated hydrolysis was observed by the value of the degree of hydrolysis. The success of the hydrolysis process was determined by SDS-PAGE electrophoresis. Antihypertensive activity test was determined by the ability to inhibit ACE. The results showed that the alcalase has been immobilized in the matrix of silane and SDS-PAGE protein profile showed melinjo seed proteins had been successfully hydrolyzed. Hydrolysis process repeatedly demonstrated that immobilized alcalase was effective to hydrolyze protein isolates of melinjo seeds twice. Based on ACE inhibitory test, there were no significant differences between the protein isolate hydrolyzed by immobilized alcalase (Gg-PH), protein isolates hydrolyzed with free alcalase (Gg-PHB), and captopril. These findings suggest that the antihypertensive activity in Gg-PH is the same with that of captopril.
