Perbandingan Karakteristik Biodegradable Foam dari Pati Ubi Jalar dan Pati Kentang dengan Penambahan Serat Selulosa
Authors: Isabella Hana , Hendrawati Nanik
Published: August 2024

Biodegradable foam is an alternative to styrofoam which is made from starch raw materials that can be degraded by nature. However, the starch-based biodegradable foam has weaknesses in water absorption and tends to be fragile so special applications are needed to able to increase strength, elasticity, and resistance to water. Therefore, the filler is added in the form of cellulose fibers derived from banana stems which have a large cellulose content and little lignin, to increase cellulose content, the cellulose isolation stage is carried out. This study aims to determine the effect of adding cellulose fibers to biodegradable foam made of two different types of starch on the characteristics of biodegradable foam. The manufacture of biodegradable foam is carried out by the baking process method and uses two different types of starch as the main ingredients, namely sweet potato starch and potato starch. The added cellulose fibers varied from 1%, 3%, 5%, 7%, and 9% w/w by weight of starch. The results of testing biodegradable foam from two different types of starch show that the absorption capacity using potato starch with variable cellulose is 9% lower than foam with sweet potato raw materials. The biofoam that has the greatest biodegradability value is the sweet potato starch biofoam at a variable of 9% cellulose fiber. Biodegradable foam made from sweet potatoes with a cellulose variable of 9% has the highest tensile strength value of 11,221 MPa.

Published: August 2024

The use of chemical pesticides to control grasshopper attacks harms the environment and people. Therefore, botanical pesticide as an alternative to a safer environment is needed. This study aims to determine the effectiveness of papaya leaves (Carica papaya) and lemongrass (Cymbopogon citratus) combination extracts against Javanese grasshopper based on maceration time and concentration variations, and to determine its compounds. The maceration time was 3, 5, and 7 days, and 30, 50, and 70% concentrations were used. The study showed that a 7 days maceration with 70% extract concentrations is the most effective to kill the Javanese grasshopper with an average mortality rate of 100%. Botanical pesticides are known to contain tannins, flavonoids, terpenoids, steroids, and citronellal. The presence of these compounds in the botanical pesticides causes Javanese grasshoppers which eat plants that have been sprayed to experience death due to poisoning and continuous loss of fluid.

Published: August 2024

Synthesis of resin composites with Gd2O3 filler for neutron radiation shielding applications has been carried out. The material used as a neutron shield is a resin which is added 10%, 20%, and 30% Gd2O3. Resin and Gd2O3 were mixed using a mixer for 1 hour and then a catalyst was added as a resin hardener. The mixture is then put into a mold with an inner diameter of 24.5 mm, an outer diameter of 30 mm, and a height of 25 mm. The prints were dried for 3 hours. The results of characterization with SEM at 1000x magnification show that the sample surface is quite compact and dense and does not show pores. The results of the EDS test showed that in the resin sample with the addition of higher Gd2O3, there was an increase in the percentage of Gd in the sample. The results of the compressive test using the Universal Tensile Machine showed that the compressive strength on pure resin without Gd2O3 was 5167 N, on resin with the addition of 10% Gd2O3 was 5088 N and on resin with the addition of 20% Gd2O3 was 1088 N while on resin with the addition of 30% Gd2O3 of 612 N. It can be seen that with the addition of Gd2O3 to the resin there is a decrease in its ability to withstand pressure.

Introduction: Gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) is characterized as impaired glucose tolerance that first occurs during pregnancy. GDM can lead to serious complications for both mother and fetus if undiagnosed or untreated. This study investigates the prevalence and risk factors of GDM among pregnant women at a tertiary health center in Mardan, Pakistan.
Methodology: A cross-sectional study was conducted from January 9, 2023, to December 8, 2023, at Swat Medical College and Women's Hospital Mardan. A total of 320 pregnant women were screened using glucose challenge tests followed by oral glucose tolerance tests if initial results were abnormal. Data on socio-demographic factors, BMI, gravida status, and clinical history were collected and analyzed using SPSS version 23.0.
Results: The prevalence of GDM in the study population was 24%. Advanced maternal age, higher BMI, and multigravida status were significant risk factors for GDM. Women aged over 35 years had the highest prevalence (48%). Overweight and obese women had prevalences of 30% and 32%, respectively. Multigravida women had a GDM prevalence of 32% compared to 22% in primigravida women. Family history of diabetes mellitus and history of GDM were the most common risk factors among GDM patients.
Conclusion: The high prevalence of disease and its association with factors such as age, BMI, gravida status, and family history underscores the need for targeted screening and prevention strategies. Health education and lifestyle interventions should be prioritized to mitigate the impact of GDM on maternal and fetal health.

Published: August 2024

An integral component of contemporary banking is now internet banking. Due to the present password-based authentication paradigms' inadequacies in terms of efficiency and robustness, as well as their susceptibility to automated assaults, several attempts are successful in gaining access to social network accounts. The easiest solution is to add more identifying features, such one-time PIN numbers produced by the user's own device (like a smartphone) or received via SMS, to the single factor (password-based) authentication procedure. Real-time facial recognition technology is a biometric authentication tool that may be used to increase the security of online banking transactions. With the use of this technology, clients' identities may be instantly and conveniently verified. The goal of this project is to create an online banking system that authenticates customers using real-time facial recognition technology. Customers will be able to do banking tasks including money transfers, bill payments, and balance inquiries using the system's user-friendly and secure interface. A face recognition algorithm, such Grassmann Learning, which can record and evaluate a customer's facial traits in real time, will be included into the system. To confirm the customer's identification, the algorithm will match the customer's facial traits with those in the bank's database. PIN verification at a second level using an OTP basis. Using a challenge keypad, the user will produce the PIN number in this technique. The technology would give users a safe and convenient interface to conduct real-time financial transactions. Notifications about banking interface access and amount transactions are sent to the user in this suggested net-banking application.

Authors: V. Archana. M.E.  , G. Saraswathi
Published: August 2024

Traditional centralized cloud storage systems often face vulnerabilities such as single points of failure, data breaches, and unauthorized access. To address these challenges, this study proposes a blockchain-based approach for secure data storage on the cloud while providing controlled data access. The proposed system leverages the decentralized and immutable nature of blockchain to ensure the integrity and security of stored data. Blockchain technology, known for its decentralized and immutable nature, can enhance the security and transparency of data storage. In this proposed approach, data is encrypted and distributed across multiple nodes in the cloud, eliminating the risk of a single point of failure. The data is then recorded as a series of tamper-proof blocks on a blockchain, ensuring data integrity and preventing unauthorized modifications. Each block includes a hash pointer that links it to the previous block, creating a chain of blocks that forms the blockchain. To ensure data integrity, Third-Party Auditors (TPAs) are introduced. These independent entities perform regular audits on the stored data and verify its integrity against the hashes stored on the blockchain. The TPAs act as trusted entities that ensure the accuracy and consistency of the data, reducing the reliance on the data storage provider. The proposed system enhances the security of data storage by eliminating single points of failure and preventing unauthorized modifications. By leveraging the decentralized and transparent nature of blockchain technology, this approach addresses the limitations of traditional cloud storage systems, providing enhanced security, data integrity, and controlled data access. The proposed system has the potential to revolutionize data storage practices and contribute to the development of more secure and trustworthy cloud storage infrastructures.

Authors: Kulalı Martin Yeliz , Sancar Demren Gaye Aslı
Published: August 2024

The image and reputation of a country reflect on its brands. Just as well, the image and reputation of a brand reflect on its country of origin. The present study, on the basis of the theoretical frameworks of nation branding and national reputation, focuses on greenwashing, which affects both of the said areas. In our day, the sensibility concerning sustainability and environmental matters influences also brand policies. The ambition of being ‘The most environment friendly brand’, often leads brands to mistakes which end up transforming into greenwashing. This is also the case for the Swedish brand H&M which aims to be the ‘leader’ in soft power areas like the environment. The study, after the theoretical framework, focuses on H&M’s greenwashing strategies and their causes, using the qualitative situational analysis method.

Introdução: Malassezia é o fungo mais prevalente identificado na microbiota da pele humana. O papel da Malassezia permanece controverso porque este gênero tem sido associado tanto a pele saudável como em patologias. No entanto, com o desenvolvimento de métodos de sequenciamento de nova geração, ampliou-se a descrição sobre a diversidade fúngica de várias microbiotas. Assim, a Malassezia vem sendo identificada como um fungo residente em diversos nichos anatômicos saudáveis e em disbiose. Objetivo: realizar uma revisão narrativa sobre a presença da Malassezia restricta no micobioma humano. Metodologia: consulta da base de dados Pubmed, com seleção de artigos publicados entre os anos de 2011 e 2021. Revisão de Literatura: foram selecionados 14 estudos que identificaram membros do gênero Malassezia em nichos anatômicos como o oral, intestinal e aparelho respiratório, tanto na saúde, como em condições patológicas. Porém, sua presença em quadros inflamatórios intestinais, em especial na doença de Crohn e colite, vem ganhando destaque na literatura. Além disso, um crescente número de evidências vem demonstrando que essa espécie pode estar associada à Doença de Crohn (DC) e Colite Ulcerativa (UC), ambas caracterizadas por inflamação da parede do trato digestivo. Conclusão: Malassezia restricta pode estar associada a doenças, especialmente as relacionadas ao intestino humano. Esses fungos foram encontrados em abundância em amostras fecais, tanto em contextos saudáveis quanto em contextos patológicos. Estudos futuros com o intuito de aumentar a nossa compreensão sobre a Malassezia na disbiose intestinal, bem como em outros órgãos, podem levar a novas abordagens terapêuticas direcionadas a este gênero específico.

Perkahwinan bawah umur merupakan perkara yang berlaku bukan sahaja di Malaysia, bahkan di serata dunia. Perkahwinan bawah umur berlaku disebabkan oleh pelbagai faktor antaranya ialah masalah sosial yang berlaku di dalam masyarakat dan ianya juga dikatakan mendatangkan kesan negatif kepada kanak-kanak yang terlibat sehinggakan ramai pihak yang mempersoalkan hukum perkahwinan yang melibatkan kanak-kanak. Artikel ini bertujuan untuk menjelaskan hukum perkahwinan kanak-kanak dengan membincangkan mengenai kanak-kanak dari perspektif syarak dan juga konsep ahliyyah kanak-kanak dalam perkahwinan, seterusnya membuat kesimpulan mengenai perkahwinan kanak-kanak dari perspektif syariah. Kajian ini menggunakan kaedah analisis dokumen dengan menganalisis kitab-kitab fiqh muktabar dari pelbagai mazhab dan mengambil kira pandangan fuqahā’ daripada mazhab yang berbeza agar penerangan mengenai had umur minimum perkahwinan bagi kanak-kanak dapat dijelaskan dengan lebih terperinci.  Artikel ini menyimpulkan bahawa syarat baligh bukanlah syarat sah perkahwinan, oleh itu kanak-kanak memiliki kelayakan untuk melangsungkan perkahwinan yang menjadikan hukum perkahwinan kanak-kanak itu adalah harus. Namun begitu, keharusan ini tidaklah bermakna bahawa ianya merupakan satu perkara yang digalakkan. Malah, keharusan ini tertakluk kepada maslahah dan mafsadah yang boleh terhasil daripada perkahwinan tersebut.

Scale-up of the film coating process using the example of vitamin and mineral complexes: from idea to process validation
Authors: Strelkova A. V. , Flisyuk E. V.
Published: August 2024

Introduction. The development of defect-free film coating modes is an urgent task when transferring film-coated tablets technology. Technology transfer is an integral stage of the life cycle of any drug approved for industrial production. During the development of the technological process, deviations may occur, to eliminate which it is necessary to introduce auxiliary operations or change the chain of technological equipment.

Aim. Optimize the process of applying a film coating to tablets of the core of the vitamin and mineral complex.

Materials and methods. The objects of the study were biconvex core tablets in the form of a boat of a vitamin and mineral complex consisting of vitamins C + E + B1 and minerals. To ensure the required technological properties, auxiliary substances were used: microcrystalline cellulose, sodium croscarmellose, potato starch, calcium stearate, colloidal silicon dioxide. Ready-made film-forming mixtures (Colorcon®) in beige Opadry® II 85F 270000 were used as film-forming compositions. The film coating was applied in the craters with a perforated drum BG-80 (Pro-face, China) and BGK-150 (Zhejiang Canaan Technology Limited, China).

Results and discussion. The process of applying a film coating to the core tablets of a vitamin and mineral complex has been studied. The analysis of the current technological chain showed a number of disadvantages – a large amount of manual labor, the need for matting the drum, the duration of the process, low loading, braking of the production cycle due to lagging at the stage of applying the film shell. To solve the discovered problems, a project was developed to scale the technology at the stage of applying a film shell to tablets-the cores of a vitamin and mineral complex. During the implementation of the process, new equipment was purchased and installed for production. The development of the technological process made it possible to multiply the one-time loading into the boiler (by 2–3 times), automate the process due to the automatic operation function according to the parameters set before the start of the technological process, and exclude the matting of the drum from preparatory work. The quality of film-coated tablets has improved, and the risk of defects has significantly decreased.

Conclusion. During the study, it was proved that transferring the film coating process to another piece of equipment can improve the quality of the resulting film-coated tablets and optimize the technological process. A multiple increase in the loading size is not carried out at the same time by changing the number of nozzles and the inner section of the hose for applying the film coating material.

Police interviews with suspects often face criticism due to distortions in the preparation of examination reports. These distortions arise from a lack of understanding of the basic linguistic principles governing oral discourse production and the differences between spoken and written language. This study addresses the following research questions: (a) What is the structure of interrogative sentences?; (b) What strategies are employed in the formulation of interrogative sentences?; (c) How are investigative interview questions classified? The objectives of this study are to elucidate: (a) the structure of interrogative sentences; (b) strategies for formulating interrogative sentences; (c) the classification of investigative interview questions. This qualitative study utilizes a case study approach. Primary data sources include interviews with five police investigators from the East Java Regional Police and secondary data from ten examination reports in defamation cases from local police departments in East Java, Indonesia. Primary data were collected using semi-structured interview techniques. The study employs an interactive model of qualitative data analysis. This research reveals: (a) clear, precise, logical, and unambiguous sentence structures that enable suspects to provide complete and structured information; (b) current strategies used by investigators in information elicitation, utilizing the SI-A-DI DE-MEN BA-BI model; (c) the classification of police investigative interview questions into broad open-ended questions and narrow open-ended questions. The application of forensic linguistics techniques in police investigative interviews contributes new insights by developing adaptive and contextual interview methods. These methods effectively and accurately elicit information related to defamation cases, promoting justice in legal processes.

To apply the leak-before-break (LBB) concept to the main steam line piping of nuclear power plants, the use of SA508 Gr.1A low-alloy steel is being considered. To increase the LBB safety margin, it is essential to improve the strength and toughness of the material. In this study, intercritical heat treatment (IHT) and pre-tempering were applied to V-added SA508 Gr.1A low-alloy steel, and the effects of heat treatments on mechanical properties and LBB safety margin were analyzed. IHT resulted in the formation of fine grains at the grain boundaries and the decomposition of coarse cementite, which led to an improvement in impact transition toughness and J-R fracture resistance without a significant decrease in strength. The application of pre-tempering promoted the formation of nano-sized precipitates. It increased the strength by approximately 30 MPa or more at room temperature and 286°C, while no significant difference was observed in impact transition toughness and J-R fracture resistance. Both heat treatments increased the LBB safety margin from 1.37 to 1.41 by enhancing yield strength or J-R fracture resistance. However, when IHT and pre-tempering were applied together, J-R fracture resistance increased but yield strength decreased. As a result, there was no increase in the LBB safety margin.
