Cross-contamination in Molecular Diagnostic Laboratories in Low- and Middle-income Countries
Authors: Albano Pia Marie , Notarte Kin Israel , Macaranas Imee , Maralit Benedict
Published: January 2021

At the start of the pandemic, the Philippines had to send swab samples to the Victorian Infectious Diseases Reference Laboratory in Melbourne, Australia for COVID-19 confirmation. With the increasing number of  suspected cases needing confirmatory diagnostic testing, there was a demand to rapidly expand the capacity for widescale testing. Remarkably, within 200 days from announcement of the first confirmed COVID-19 case in the Philippines in January 30, 2020, the country has been able to expand its testing capacity from one national reference laboratory, the Research Institute for Tropical Medicine (RITM), to more than 100 licensed reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) and cartridge-based PCR laboratories across the country. Due to the shortage of a trained clinical laboratory workforce, diagnostic centers are forced to hire additional personnel who have limited experience and technical knowledge and skills of molecular assays, especially in processing specimens, interpreting the results, identifying errors, and troubleshooting, in order to meet the demand of increased testing. Thus, the vulnerability to diagnostic errors, including cross-contamination, is increased and with the tendency for generating false positive results that can compromise the health of the patient and disrupt the efficacy of public health policies and public health response, surveillance programs, and restrictive measures for containing the outbreak. Hence, this review article aims to present the different sources of contamination in the laboratory setting where RT-PCR assays are conducted, as well as provide efficient, effective and feasible solutions to address these issues, most especially in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) like the Philippines.
Percepções sobre o code-switching: espanhol e português na cidade de São Paulo
Authors: Teodoro-Torres José André
Published: January 2021

Este trabalho investiga os possíveis significados sociais que o code-switching entre espanhol e português pode indiciar a partir da percepção sobre dois hispano-falantes. Para tanto, duas amostras de trechos de fala foram manipuladas para variar apenas na alternância (espanhol e português) e utilizadas para coletar dados qualitativos em entrevistas abertas (N = 10) e quantitativos em um experimento matched guise (N = 32). A literatura da área afirma que, até o momento, não se comprovou qualquer relação entre a produção de code-switching e o grau de escolaridade dos falantes (GARDNER-CHLOROS, 2009), no entanto, a tendência popular é associar este mecanismo à preguiça e a níveis menores de inteligência. Os resultados obtidos nas análises estatísticas apontam que os falantes foram ouvidos como menos inteligentes quando utilizaram o code-switching. Além disso, dentre as características assinaladas para descrever os falantes, “preguiçoso” foi a terceira mais recorrente quando se ouviu o disfarce com a alternância, logo após “divertido” e “relaxado”, adjetivos que corroboram a relação da produção deste mecanismo com situações de fala informal. Algumas das implicações deste trabalho são discutidas não somente com base na literatura sobre code-switching, mas também, em diálogo com trabalhos prévios sobre a percepção linguística.
A expressão da evidencialidade reportativa e da evidencialidade citativa na língua portuguesa
Authors: Miranda Amanda Freiberger
Published: January 2021

A evidencialidade é a categoria responsável por expressar a fonte da informação veiculada em um enunciado. Nesta pesquisa, são analisadas a evidencialidade reportativa e a citativa, subtipos evidenciais que apresentam uma informação adquirida de terceiros. Estudos anteriores atestam a sistematicidade dessa categoria em línguas que a marcam gramaticalmente; interessa, então, a esta pesquisa verificar como essas subcategorias se manifestam no português, língua em que a expressão da evidencialidade é majoritariamente lexical. Para tanto, analisamos textos jornalísticos do jornal on-line Folha de São Paulo, utilizando, como ferramenta de identificação das categorias, a descrição dos evidenciais feita pela Gramática Discursivo-Funcional, que viabiliza a descrição dos fenômenos linguísticos a partir da consideração de uma ordem hierárquica dos níveis de organização do enunciado, em que a pragmática exerce determinações sobre todos os demais níveis.

Published: January 2021

Neste artigo, focalizamos discursos oficiais da educação e discursos de professores integrantes do Núcleo Docente Estruturante (NDE) de Cursos de Letras de uma universidade pública, com o objetivo de analisar a reação-resposta desses professores à prescrição legal de organização do currículo com base no conceito de competência. Para tanto, analisamos as Diretrizes Curriculares Nacionais para os Cursos de Letras e Formação de Professores e o Projeto Pedagógico do Curso de Letras Português e Literatura da instituição pesquisada, reformulado pelos professores do NDE. Orientam a pesquisa pressupostos bakhtinianos, bem como outros aportes teóricos levantados para construir inteligibilidades sobre os dados. De modo geral, o estudo do Projeto Pedagógico do Curso de Letras Português e Literatura sinaliza que a proposta curricular elaborada pelos sujeitos da pesquisa apresenta caráter próprio, produzindo sentidos diferenciados dos das Diretrizes, no que diz respeito à noção de competência como princípio de organização curricular.
Rumo a um ensino superior 4.0: uma experiência com fórum on-line síncrono para ensino de língua inglesa na perspectiva das metodologias ativas
Authors: Nunes Mariana Backes , Barcellos Patrícia da Silva Campelo Costa
Published: January 2021

Cada vez mais podemos perceber profundas mudanças na educação superior, principalmente com a onipresença dos aparatos digitais que permitem acesso a um número ilimitado de informações. O maior desafio dos professores atualmente é saber como integrar essas novas tecnologias em sala de aula, desenvolvendo habilidades inovadoras para viver em uma sociedade futura ainda em construção, promovendo uma Educação 4.0 (WALLNER; WAGNER, 2016). Assim, o objetivo deste trabalho é analisar a aplicação de metodologias ativas, como o ensino híbrido (MORÁN, 2015b), no ensino de língua inglesa, tendo as tecnologias digitais como mediadoras do processo de aprendizagem. Os participantes dessa pesquisa são graduandos em Letras com proficiência intermediária em inglês. Ao longo da pesquisa, foram aplicadas tarefas envolvendo ferramentas tecnológicas, tendo como temática principal a vida universitária. O foco do presente trabalho é a interação dos aprendizes em um fórum on-line realizado em uma aula presencial utilizando o Moodle. Foi observado que os alunos responderam positivamente à utilização do fórum on-line de forma síncrona, participando ativamente da discussão. Espera-se, com esse trabalho, incentivar a inserção das novas tecnologias no Ensino Superior, principalmente nos cursos de licenciatura, de maneira a expandir o leque de possibilidades que o ensino-aprendizagem de língua inglesa pode propiciar.
Sintaxe gerativa e ensino de gramática: contribuições de estudos em PBdialetal
Authors: Pereira Bruna Karla
Published: January 2021

Neste trabalho, investiga-se como pesquisas sobre português brasileiro (PB) dialetal, em sintaxe gerativa, podem contribuir para o ensino de gramática. Para isso, faz-se inicialmente uma revisão dos estudos sintáticos de PB dialetal e posteriormente uma revisão dos estudos que tratam das contribuições da teoria gerativa para o ensino de gramática. Mostra-se que, após conhecerem pesquisas em sintaxe sobre PB dialetal, os professores obterão: uma comparação científica e analítica entre pelo menos dois sistemas, padrão e não padrão; entendimento de que as estruturas são regidas por universais; um modelo de análise no qual poderão se basear em suas reflexões sobre os fatos linguísticos; reconhecimento da competência gramatical que o aluno traz consigo para a escola; possibilidade de elaboração de formas de intervenção para ensino da gramática padrão, sem desvalorizar ou estigmatizar variedades não padrão; habilidades metalinguísticas e epilinguísticas para poderem intermediar a aquisição dessas habilidades entre os alunos, dentre outros. Conclui-se, portanto, que estudos em sintaxe gerativa têm a contribuir para a formação de professores e em consequência para o ensino de gramática na educação básica.

Patterns of Yeast Diversity Distribution and its Drivers in Rhizosphere Soil of Hami Melon Orchards in Different Regions of Xinjiang
Authors: Zhu ShanShan , Lei YongHui , Wang Chong , Wei YuMei , Wang ChunCheng , Sun YanFei
Published: January 2021

Background: Yeast is an essential type of microscopic fungus found in the soil. It is vital to develop the resources of yeast to gain a better understanding of its role and potential in maintaining soil ecological balance and providing microbial resources. A special ecological environment is required for the evolution of yeast species. Xinjiang in China has unique climatic conditions with abundant melon and fruit resources. Here, we aimed to evaluate the diversity, community structure, and relationship between yeast species and environmental factors in Hami melon orchards in different regions of Xinjiang, China.Results: We used Illumina MiSeq high-throughput sequencing analysis to cluster 29,090 yeast sequences into 87 operational taxonomic units (OTUs) with 97% sequence similarity and 47 genera and 73 species. Most sequences (93.16%) belonged to the Basidiomycota; only a few (6.84%) belonged to Ascomycota. We detected 10 dominant genera and 11 dominant species with relative abundances > 1% in all sample sequences. We found that the yeast communities were significantly more diverse in the eastern Xinjiang region than in the southern and northern Xinjiang regions. The most dominant genera in the southern, eastern, and northern Xinjiang regions were Pseudozyma (54.77%), Solicoccozyma (28.6%), and Filobasidium (88.08%), respectively. Redundancy analysis (RDA) results indicated that the main factors inﬂuencing the structure of yeast in the study sites were CO, total phosphorus (TP), and total potassium (TK) of the soil.Conclusion: Our results suggest the presence of diversity and structural differences in yeast species among the southern, eastern, and northern Xinjiang regions. Eastern Xinjiang had the highest community diversity with a more even distribution of species. Differences in the geographical environment and the physicochemical properties of soils were probably the key factors driving yeast diversity and community structure.
Barriers and Facilitators to Successful Implementation of Sustainable School Meals: A Qualitative Study of the OPTIMATTM-Intervention
Authors: Colombo Patricia Eustachio , Elinder Liselotte Schäfer , Patterson Emma , Parlesak Alexandr , Lindroos Anna Karin , Andermo Susanne
Published: January 2021

BackgroundThere is an urgent need to align human diets with goals for environmental sustainability and population health. The OPTIMATTM-intervention study was developed to implement and evaluate a nutritionally adequate and climate-friendly 4-week lunch menu in Swedish primary schools. This study aimed to explore pupils' and kitchen staff’s experiences of the intervention and to identify barriers and facilitators to successful implementation of sustainable school meals.MethodsAn inductive qualitative method was used. Nine focus group discussions (FGDs) were conducted, six with pupils in grades 5 (ages 10-11) and 8 (ages 14-15) (n=29) and three with kitchen staff (n=13). Data were analyzed using qualitative content analysis.ResultsFive main categories and 11 subcategories at a manifest level emerged. The five main categories were: 1) Experiences with the new menu, unfolding variations in how the new menu was received and kitchen staff’s experiences of working with it; 2) The meaning of diet sustainability, comprising pupils’ and kitchen staff’s perceptions about diet sustainability as a concept and part of their everyday lives; 3) Factors influencing plant-based food acceptance, covering aspects such as the influence of sensory factors, habits and peer pressure; 4) Opportunities to increase plant-based eating, including factors related to pupils’ and kitchen staff’s ideas for how to increase plant-based food acceptance; and 5) Need for a supportive environment to achieve dietary change, comprising pupils’ and kitchen staff’s thoughts on the importance of more knowledge, resources and involvement of stakeholders to eat more plant-based meals in schools.ConclusionsSuccessful implementation of sustainable school meals would require more knowledge among pupils and kitchen staff. Staff also need more training in cooking of sustainable meals. Barriers among pupils could be tackled by introducing new plant-based meals more gradually and by more carefully considering the seasoning, naming and aesthetics of dishes. An increased leadership support for change and involvement of stakeholders from multiple levels within society will be key in the transition to sustainable school meals at scale.Trial registrationThe trial registration for the OPTIMATTM-intervention may be found at clinicaltrials.gov (NCT04168632 Fostering Healthy and Sustainable Diets Through School Meals (OPTIMAT)).
Low-Fee Private Schools in Developing Nations: Some Cautionary Remarks
Authors: Espindola Juan
Published: January 2021

This paper examines and rejects two normative justifications for low-fee private schools (LFPS), whose expansion throughout the Global South in recent years has been significant. The first justification – what I shall call the ideal thesis – contends that LFPS are the best mechanism to expand access to quality education, particularly at the primary level, and that the premise of their success is that they reject educational equality and state intervention in educational affairs, traditionally associated with public schools, embracing instead educational adequacy and unregulated markets for education. Against this thesis, the paper argues that an ideal educational arrangement must not do away with educational equality and some degree of state interference. The other justification for LFPS – the secondbest thesis – contends that although LFPS do not represent the ideal state of affairs, they nonetheless bring us a step closer to the ideal of universal primary education; they are a ‘realistic’ approximation to that goal. Against the second-best thesis, the paper argues that this justification commits the approximation fallacy: by deviating from the ideal educational arrangement LFPS may obstruct rather than facilitate its achievement.
Dalit Women in India: At the Crossroads of Gender, Class, and Caste
Authors: Sabharwal Nidhi Sadana , Sonalkar Wandana
Published: January 2021

As the lowest in the caste hierarchy, Dalits in Indian society have historically suffered caste-based social exclusion from economic, civil, cultural, and political rights. Women from this community suffer from not only discrimination based on their gender but also caste identity and consequent economic deprivation. Dalit women constituted about 16.60 percent of India’s female population in 2011. Dalit women’s problems encompass not only gender and economic deprivation but also discrimination associated with religion, caste, and untouchability, which in turn results in the denial of their social, economic, cultural, and political rights. They become vulnerable to sexual violence and exploitation due to their gender and caste. Dalit women also become victims of abhorrent social and religious practices such as devadasi/jogini (temple prostitution), resulting in sexual exploitation in the name of religion. The additional discrimination faced by Dalit women on account of their gender and caste is clearly reflected in the differential achievements in human development indicators for this group. In all the indicators of human development, for example, literacy and longevity, Dalit women score worse than Dalit men and non-Dalit women. Thus, the problems of Dalit women are distinct and unique in many ways, and they suffer from the ‘triple burden’ of gender bias, caste discrimination, and economic deprivation. To gain insights into the economic and social status of Dalit women, our paper will delve more closely into their lives and encapsulate the economic and social situations of Dalit women in India. The analyses of human poverty and caste and gender discrimination are based on official data sets as well as a number of primary studies in the labor market and on reproductive health.
Teachers’ Attitudes and Opinions about Design and Skill Workshops and Ranking of Workshops by Teachers
Authors: BAYRAKTAR Ayşegül , YALÇIN Seher
Published: January 2021

In this study, the aim was to both develop a valid and reliable measurement tool for determining teachers’ attitudes as well as to determine their opinions towards design and skill workshops (DSW). In addition, the researchers aimed to determine how teachers rank design and skill workshops based on their importance. Since an attempt was made to describe the existing situation at just one point in time, a cross-sectional survey model was used. Teachers working at schools with DSW located in the cities of Ankara and Istanbul, Turkey were chosen as participants. Criterion sampling method, which is a purposeful sampling method was used for determining the sample of this study. A total of 123 teachers working at four primary schools in Ankara as well as 99 teachers working at three secondary schools, one primary school, and two high schools in Istanbul during February 2019 participated to this current study. As a result of interviews with the teachers and members of the General Directorate of Teacher Training in the Turkish Ministry of National Education (MoNE) the scale items were written. As a result of the principal components analysis for attitude scale, a valid and reliable measurement tool with 10 items emerged after removing overlapping item. According to rankings of the various workshops’ importance, the teachers were divided into two groups, including those who thought that software and science were more important and those who thought that drama and visual arts were more important.
Homework Process in Higher Education Scale (HPHES): A Validity and Reliability Study
Authors: YAR YILDIRIM Veda
Published: January 2021

The aim of this study was to develop a scale to measure the process of receiving and completing homework from the perspective of university students, and to conduct its validity and reliability analyses. Two different sample groups were formed in order to develop the Homework Process in Higher Education Scale (HPHES). Students studying in different faculties in four different universities in the 2019-2020 academic year were included in the sample. The sample consisted of 368 students for Exploratory Factor Analysis (EFA) and 400 students for Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA). In the EFA, it was determined that the scale had a five-factor structure with 28 items. This structure was evaluated using CFA. When the fit indices of the resulting model were examined, the following results were obtained: χ²/df = 2.36<4; CFI= 0.91; TL= 0.90; RMSEA= 0.05; SRMR = 0.05. The structure was confirmed using CFA. Cronbach's Alpha reliability coefficient results calculated for the scale were verified with composite reliability coefficients. The convergent validity was tested by calculating average variance extracted (AVE) of each factor. The results of validity and reliability study of the HPHES showed that it was a valid and reliable measurement tool with five factors and 28 items. The subject of homework in higher education can be examined in terms of different variables using the HPHES.

This collaborative evaluation explored the distribution of perceived parent involvement factors during high school, from the perspective of academically successful Black male college students. One hundred and forty-six(146)Blackmales enrolled in an undergraduate degree seeking-program at a university in the southern region of the United States completed Yan and Lins (2005) parent involvement during high school survey, adapted from NELS: 88 (National Education Longitudinal Study of 1988). A collaborative evaluation approach using the Model for Collaborative Evaluations MCE was used in this formative evaluation. Results revealed that among the distribution of the three factors (Family Obligation, Parent Information Network and Family Norms), Family Norms was perceived as the most prevalent parent involvement subscale factor during high school forthis particular population. Under the Family Norms factor subscale Parent-teenager relationship emerged as the most dominant variable, followed by Educational expectations. Implications for using the MCE in evaluating school parent involvement programs and research are delineated.

Users involvement is an essential ingredient for architectural and engineering projects to boost users satisfaction and ultimately, project success. Nevertheless, there are socioeconomic factors, which predict the users level of involvement in such projects. This paper identified the socioeconomic factors determining the key aesthetic elements preference for university administrative building facade aesthetic judgment in southwest Nigeria. The key aesthetic elements considered in this study are facade shape, colour and height. Quantitative data were collected from 577 respondents through a structured questionnaire and subjected to Categorical Regression Analysis. The result showed that age group, highest academic qualification, and income level were significant predictors in determining the facade aesthetic judgment. This studys findings imply the need for planners and designers to ensure users participation in line with significant factors for aesthetic appreciation of university administrative building facade and other campus buildings. This outcome aids the availability of quality, timely and reliable empirical data specific to a geographical location significantly.

The study was conducted at Kenya Marine Fisheries Research Institute (KMFRI), Sangoro Station, Kenya to compare the growth perfomance of Oreochromis niloticusfry under different protein levels in a biofloc system using weight-length regression models and Fulton`s condition factor (K). Fry of initial mean weight 0.07 Â± 0.03 g and length 1.30 Â± 0.24 cm were randomly stocked in 18 aquarium tanks with capacity of 50 litres at stocking density of one fish Litre-1. The experiment was set in a greenhouse under controlled temperature and dissolved oxygen conditions using aerators and thermostat heaters. The biofloc used glucose and molasses as carbon sources which were assigned at 22%, 27% and 35% crude protein levels randomly to the aquaria. The fish were fed on their daily ration twice a day at 5% body weight for 14 weeks. Physicochemical parameters were recorded daily using a multiparameter meter and water samples collected before fish sampling for nutrient analysis. A sample of 30 fish per tank were used for taking body weight and total length measurements using an electronic balance and a measuring board respectively. Fry in all treatments exhibited allometric growth with b coefficient varying between 2.54 and 2.66. Average Fultons condition factor ranged between 1.77-1.84 with no significant difference (P>0.05)among the protein levels and the bioflocs. The condition factor showed both carbon sources were suitable for use in the biofloc system and hence replacement of higher protein level (35%) with lower protein level (22%) to reduce the production cost is a feasible application of the biofloc system in fish farming.

Authors:   PhD Research Scholar, Department of Business Administration,Azteca University,Mexico. North America., Sardar Tariq
Published: January 2021

The research article describes the role of mortgage planning in sale of residential properties in the city of Brampton, Canada. Mortgage financing is an essential part of real estate buying & selling process in Canada where a number of people rely on mortgage loans to purchase houses. The need of housing is rapidly increasing but still a large quantity of listed properties is left UNSOLD in the real estate market despite of buyers demand. At the same time, the ratio of mortgage decline is also increasing and buyers cannot make a purchase without having the required funds. The paper examines the 07 years data from 2011 to 2017 and attempts to explain the function of mortgage planning in smooth sale of real estate. Some people pursue to get a pre-approval of mortgage from lenders before searching for properties because it gives an idea about the borrowing capacity of buyers. The paper investigates the percentage of buyers who purchase houses with a pre-approval of mortgage, the gender of buyers, the percentage of co-signers in the mortgage applications and the percentage of bargain on listed pricing, and also an analytical review on duration of time for marketing the listed properties and closing the transaction of sale. The paper relies on Asymmetric Information Theory which states that imperfect knowledge of information restricts the smooth or quicker sale of products in the markets.

Concept of transferring charged property through hibah has been practised as one of instruments during someones lifetime. However, the concept becomes the debate among scholars as the property still in refund period and has liabilities which need to be cleared first. Bank as the chargor will not allowed the asset being transferred. Therefore, problems regarding how far the concept will be permitted arise because it effects the rights of the receiver and the bank as the holder of the collateral. The purpose of this research is to analyse the concept of hibah charged property and the effects on ownerships if the transaction is permitted. The data required from primary and secondary sources such as scriptures, past articles which are related to the concept of hibah charged property. The outcome of this research claims that hibah charged property is legal among some scholar opinions under certain conditions. The concept of hibah charged property can be considered as one method of effective planning but with supervision from the authority, through legal ways and such.

The increasingly fierce competition mechanism inspired this research in vocational high schools in Indonesia.The State Vocational High School (SMK Negeri) 2 Kalianda, South Lampung, lacked facilities and human resources that can support students success. It also lacked the motivation to face the era of the industrial revolution 4.0. This phenomenon is interesting to explore. This research aimed to illustrate the strategic management of the school. The research was an interpretive paradigm by employing the descriptive qualitative method. The research data were obtained from the principal, curriculum representatives, teachers, education personnel, and school committees. The data collecting techniques employed were observations, interviews, and documentation. Based on the research, it was found that (1) the strategic formulation done by SMK Negeri 2 Kaliandaconsisted of vision and mission, SWOT analysis, short, medium and long term planning, as well as determining strategic superiority that can be categorized as good, but the development of educational facilities (infrastructure) still needs to be optimized. 2) Strategic implementation was ineffective, especially in utilizing information systems and linking employee competencies with educational institutions performance. Those problems were causedby the mismatch between work performancesandthe roles, considering the limited allocation and operations. 3) Strategic evaluation can be categorized as reasonably good, which covered monitoring the results of strategic planning and implementation, measuring individual and school performance, and determining improvement steps.

Introduction:Sleep is naturally recurring state of mind and body, characterized by altered consciousness, inhibition of nearly all voluntary muscles and reduced interactions with surroundings. Chronic disturbances can lead to poor sleep quality which may manifest as increased irritability, anxiety, tension, depression, confusion. The undergraduate years are a period of vulnerability when considering sleep problems and mental health may tend to worsen over time. Alcohol, tobacco, and stimulant beverages such as tea/ caffeine affect the quality of sleep. Students are more prone to adopt and practice maladaptive sleep hygiene such as irregular bedtime, academic pressure, internet addiction, electronic media exposure, alcohol consumption and smoking, which affects quality of sleep. Material and Methods:The study was a cross sectional, interview based, non-interventional studyconducted on the engineering students at SGT University, Budhera, Gurgaon, Haryana, India. Data was collected through questionnaires such as Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index, The Epworth `Sleepiness Scale, Depression Anxiety Stress Scale, The general health questionnaire. Results:A total of 274 students were included in the study. The mean age was20.11 Â± 1.30 years and there were more male (77.3%) students as compared to females (22.7%). Alcohol use was present in 43(11.7%) of students, cannabis intake was present in 11(4%), nicotine intake was reported by 39(14.2%) of students and only one student reported of taking opioid. DASS-A, DASS-S, DASS-D, GHQ-12, PSQI were positively correlated with each other when associations were studied individually. Conclusion:In our study,it was established that poor sleep quality in engineering students was significantly associated with poor mental and physical health.

The paramount aim of Ayurveda is SwasthasyaSwaasthyaRakshanam AathurasyaVikaraPrasamanam Cha. For the gratification of this goal, there are different concepts in Ayurveda and Ratricharya is one among them. Ratricharya is not so much explained as a separate heading like that of Dinacharya in all pioneer textbooks. But the latter century authors has explained about it.

The ingredients of coated carrageenan which mixed with skim milk as the physical immersion material will able to stabilize the cell viability along the production process. It could reduce the negative impact of the processes, and decrased of resistance inside gastrointestinal due to the release of gastric acid. This study aimed to compare of Carrageenan-skim against bio-capsule viability, probiotic survival, bio-capsule viability at low pH 2.0 and the synthesis of probiotics in bio-capsules pH 2.0. The microencapsulation procedure with extrusion technique were performed with different composition of coated ingredients and dropped into a sterile 3% KCL solution. The respective composition are 1:1, 2:1 and 3:1.Carrageenan-skim coating can significantly protect the probiotic cells (P Ã¢Â‰Â¤ 0.05) with high visibility and durability of the pH 2.0 as well as bio-capsule probiotic synthesis and bio-capsule synthesis at pH 2.0 in various comparisons. The comparison of 2:1 was obtained the highest viability of 1.97 x 109 CFU/G and suffered a decrease in visibility during extrusion of 0.7 Log CFU/G, with a synthesis in bio-capsules of 93.3%. Resistance to pH 2.0 after 3 hours incubation is 2.6 x 108 with a decrease after extrusion 0.89 Log CFU/G and the survival rate in bio-capsule pH 2.0 is 82.94%.
