Authors: Mat Zin Boestami Rusyidah , Kamari Azlan , Rohaeti Eli , Hastuti Budi
Published: August 2024

A market research survey by Technavio has estimated that the global market size of kombucha is projected to grow by USD 3.56 billion from 2021 to 2026 with a Compound annual growth rate (CAGR) value of 19.36%. Kombucha can generate new pellicle Symbiotic Culture of Bacteria and Yeast (SCOBY) that produces biopolymer of cellulose. The production of cellulose from fermentation of kombucha SCOBY has received great attention from scientists. The main objective of this preliminary study was to produce kombucha SCOBY cellulose (KSC) from tea and pumpkin peel waste as fermentation substrates. The carbohydrate and protein contents of both tea and pumpkin peel waste were determined by proximate analysis. The physicochemical properties of kombucha SCOBY cellulose (KSC) were studied using two spectroscopic techniques, namely Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR) and X-Ray Diffraction (XRD). FTIR spectra revealed the existence of functional groups in KSC. Meanwhile, XRD spectra presented the crystallinity by diffraction peak and crystal lattice of KSC. Overall, results from FTIR and XRD analyses suggest that both kombucha SCOBY cellulose obtained from tea and pumpkin peel fermentation substrates possess similar physicochemical properties to that of commercial cellulose. In conclusion, the application of tea and pumpkin peel waste as fermentation substrates in production of kombucha SCOBY cellulose is feasible.

As foreign English teachers in Japan, we are often seen as cultural and racial ambassadors (Reed, 2015). This means that, whether we teach explicitly about cultural diversity and related issues or not, students often believe that we are typical examples of the racial and cultural make-up of our respective countries. I come from a country that prides itself on its multicultural population and, as a Black English woman, I admit that it irks me when people misrepresent my country as mono-ethnic and mono-racial. To illustrate, I will share an anecdote from early on in my teaching career.

JALT2024 Balsamo Asian Scholar: Excelling With Technology in ELT by Embracing Diversity and Innovations
Authors: Ivone Francisca
Published: August 2024

As an academic interested in teaching English using technology and researching its use in English language teaching, I find the future of technology in ELT enthusing but daunting. Today’s era is the most unpredictable and dynamic for technology in all aspects of human life including ELT. The rate of change can make us feel excited but also overwhelmed. New AI-driven tools, applications, and gadgets allow for automating administrative and pedagogical tasks, innovative content creation, and more personalized learning. However, with this development comes implications that must be dealt with promptly and carefully, as they raise alarming health and ethical issues and more profound educational problems. Thus, it takes broadmindedness to view technology integration into ELT from multiple perspectives that allow us to innovate and be aware of the diversity in technology, pedagogy, and in the content and context of language learning.

Analysis of TikTok Utilization as a Reference Source for Students of UIN North Sumatra Library Science Study Program
Authors: Sari Dinda Mayang , Syam Abdi Mubarak
Published: August 2024

In the context of the digital era, social media integration has become an integral aspect of daily routines, especially among university students, as part of their social and academic lives. This study investigates the utilization of TikTok as a reference source for Library Science students at UIN North Sumatra. The phenomenon of social media, especially TikTok, has taken center stage in daily life, especially among university students. However, in addition to its benefits, social media also brings negative impacts, including the risk of addiction and the spread of false information. Although TikTok offers educational content, the findings in this study show that not all students use it as a reference source. Some students may prefer other platforms or traditional methods to find academic references, such as books and scientific journals. This suggests that although TikTok has potential as a reference source, its use has not been fully adopted by the entire population of Library Science students. This research uses a qualitative approach by applying Miles and Huberman's theory as the basis for analysis in the process of collecting, reducing, presenting data, and drawing conclusions.

Coconut milk contains different types of fats, such as saturated fats, polyunsaturated fats, omega-3 fats, omega-6 fats, and monounsaturated fats. To improve the quality of ice cream in terms of taste, aroma, texture, and flavor, one can combine two ingredients, namely coconut milk and cashew milk. Cashews contain 40-57% fat and 21% protein. The purpose of this study is to measure fat content and antioxidant activity and determine the effect of cashew milk combination on fat content and antioxidant activity of coconut milk-based ice cream. This study is an experimental study with a factorial design in the form of a Completely Randomized Design (CRD). It consists of three treatments with different percentage compositions of coconut milk and cashew milk: A (60%:40%), B (50%:50%), and C (40%:60%). The experiment was conducted with two replications The parameters analyzed were fat content and antioxidant activity. The data obtained were processed using editing, coding, tabulating, and entry procedures. Furthermore, the data were analyzed using statistical tests in the form of One-Way ANOVA and the Kruskal-Wallis test to determine the effect of the combination of coconut milk and cashew milk on ice cream products. The results showed that there was a significant difference in the use of coconut milk and cashew milk on fat content with p = 0.000 (p ≤ 0.05) and antioxidant activity with p = 0.001 (p ≤ 0.05).

The objective of this research was to provide pharmaceutical care to patients with Hypertension and assess its effects on the occurrence of drug-related problems (DRPs), clinical outcomes, adherence levels, and quality of life of Hypertension patients at Puskesmas (Community Health Center) Lubuk Pakam. This research used a comparative experimental approach using a prospective cohort study design to assess the effects of an intervention on 73 individuals with Hypertension between March and August 2021. The PCNE V9.00 instrument was used to identify the occurrence of Drug-Related Problems (DRPs). Adherence level data was collected through the MMAS-8 questionnaire. Random blood glucose (RBG) data and Blood Pressure values were obtained by directly examining patients. The EQ-5D-3L questionnaire was used to gather data on the quality of life. The data were analyzed using the Wilcoxon Signed-Rank test and Friedman test in the SPSS V22.0 software. The findings indicated that the average occurrence of drug-related problems (DRPs) before to the intervention was 1.436 ± 0.502, however after the intervention, it decreased to 0.282 ± 0.456 (α <0.05). The mean blood pressure before to the intervention was 278.58 ± 75.278 mmHg, whereas after the intervention it decreased to 179.68 ± 14.008 mmHg (α <0.05). There was a substantial rise in the mean adherence score before to the intervention, from 5.00 ± 0.89 to 8.48 ± 0.77 (α<0.05). Similarly, the average quality of life score increased from 0.878 ± 0.176 to 1 ± 0.09 after the intervention (α<0.05).

Complexity of the data is a major problem in producing in-depth understanding. So that the help of artificial intelligence is needed, namely Natural Languange Processing (NLP) which is the key to the problem because it can allow us to process text more effectively and increase the opportunity to allow computer interaction with human language to be more natural. Sentiment analysis is one of the main applications in the automation process to find out a person's opinion on a subject based on the text they write, one of which is a comment on cars in Indonesia such as Toyota, Daihatsu, Honda and Suzuki. This research utilizes a quantitative methodology and uses a machine learning model, namely the Naive Bayes algorithm, to classify the text into positive or negative based on the calculation of the probability of words in the text. A corpus is also used as a dictionary/word pattern using InsetLexicon to analyze the sentiment of the text based on keywords with predetermined weights that will be pre-processing first. This was done to assess the performance of Naive Bayes analysis and the effectiveness of InsetLexicon in improving the accuracy of sentiment on text. The research results from Table. 21 that the total value of comments on the highest aspect of all aspects on 4 types of cars and each brand is the aspect of "Comfortable" or comfort around 91% with the acquisition of average Recall, Precision and F1-Score around 0.83, 0.85 and 0.87 and the overall accuracy of the dataset is around 71%.
