Background:

Studies were carried out on two breeds of pigs - Pietrain (P), and Kemerovo
(K), contrasting in composition of carcasses, and their hybrids.

Objective:

The purpose of this work was to establish the characteristics of the composition of lipids
of intramuscular fat (IMF), back fat and serum, organoleptic qualities in animals of these breeds.

Methods:

Animals of 10 individuals in each group were fed on a standard feed and slaughtered with
a live weight of 95-100 kg. The quality of carcasses, the biochemical characteristics of blood, the
composition of fatty acids and cholesterol in meat and fat, and blood lipid peroxidation were determined.

Results:

Thickness on the Back Fat (BF) at the level of 6-7 thoracic vertebrae with a live weight of
100 kg was 35.8 ± 1.65 mm in pigs of breed K, in hybrids - 27.6 ± 1.06, and in breed P - 19, 6 ± 1.43
mm. IMF in pigs of breed K was almost 4.5 times greater than that of breed P. IMF K breed contained
2 times less cholesterol than in P (2.34 vs. 4.68%). In the IMF, K was 2 times less polyunsaturated
fatty acids (PUFA), than P, 7.82 and 15.22%, linoleic acid, 6.74% and 12.42%, respectively
(p <0.005). The organoleptic properties of meat and salted back fat were significantly higher in
breed K (P = 0.05).

Published: December 2019

Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui tingkat pemahaman mahasiswa dilihat dari aspek makroskopis, mikroskopis dan simbolik dalam memahami konsep. Fenomena pembelajaran kimia yang ditemukan hampir selalu terfokus pada tingkat makroskopik berupa rumus dan angka, sedangkan tingkat yang sering luput dari pengematan adalah  tingkat mikroskopik dan simbolik seperti penyajian diagram dan proses reaksi kimia.Salah satu sifat dari ilmu kimia adalah cenderung bersifat abstrak dan kompleks, seperti proses terjadinya reaksi elektrolisis dimana terjadi pergerakan partikel yang tidak dapat diamati oleh mata sehingga sering terjadi miskonsepsi dalam memahami konsep kimia. Penelitian ini dilakukan pada mahasiswa semester satu sebanyak 40 orang di prodi Farmasi Universitas Muhammadiyah Prof. DR. Hamka. Sampel penelitian ini diambil secara purposive random sampling dengan kuisioner. Berdasarkan hasil penelitian diperoleh hasil pemahaman mahasiswa pada konsep elektrokimia dilihat dari level makroskopis sebesar 72,75% kategori baik, level mikroskopis sebesar 66,25% kategori baik dan simbolik adalah 70% kategori baik. Sehingga dapat disimpulkan bahwa pembelajaran dengan aspek makroskopis, mikroskopis, simbolik dapat menanamkan konsep secara utuh. AbstractThis research aims to find out the students’ comprehension from the macroscopic, microscopic, and symbolic aspects of the concept. The phenomenon of chemistry learning that is found almost focused on the macroscopic level in the form of formulas and numbers, while the level that often missed in some observation is microscopic and symbolic levels; such as diagramming and chemical reaction processes. One of the characteristics of chemistry tends to be abstract and complex, as the process of electrolysis reaction in which the particle movement can’t be observed so that misconceptions often occur in understanding chemical concepts. This research was conducted on 40 first-semester students in the Department of Pharmacy, University of Muhammadiyah Prof. DR. Hamka. The research sample was taken by purposive random sampling with a questionnaire. Based on the result, the students’ comprehension of the electrochemistry concept have 72,75% good category in macroscopic level, 66,25% good category in microscopic level, and 70% good category in symbolic. So, it can be concluded that learning with macroscopic, microscopic, and symbolic could fulfill the concept perfectly.

Quando o Conselho de Política Pública é um espaço para a governabilidade? Gestão administrativa e apoio político a partir do espaço do Conselho Nacional dos Direitos da Criança e do Adolescente
Authors: Nascimento Anderson Rafael
Published: December 2019

As investigações sobre a efetividade dos conselhos de políticas públicas encontram terreno fértil no contexto pós-constituinte. Este artigo cultiva esse terreno, na medida em que explora a ideia de governabilidade e o papel das instâncias participativas. Para isso, governabilidade é entendida “como condições institucionais para a legitimidade do Estado” (NOGUEIRA, 2001). A partir de um olhar institucionalista histórico, será analisado o processo de desenvolvimento das políticas públicas e a atuação do Conselho Nacional dos Direitos da Criança e do Adolescente. Serão consideradas três fases representadas pela produção do conselho e os planos aprovados por ele. Constata-se que essa instância foi responsável pela manutenção de agendas históricas. Em relação a elas, os atores componentes do conselho, representantes da comunidade de política, conseguem conciliar propostas para a gestão administrativa, mas principalmente fortalecem apoios políticos para essas propostas, aspectos fundamentais para as condições institucionais da legitimidade do Estado.Palavras-chave: governabilidade, políticas públicas, participação, democracia, direito do menor

Published: December 2019

Paper ini membahas urgensi dan tahapan pelarangan riba dalam perspektif Islam. Studi ini menggunakan kajian pustaka terkait riba dengan pendekatan tafsir Quran dan Hadits. Secara umum, riba terdiri atas 2 kelompok bagian yaitu riba berdasarkan transaksi hutang piutang (riba qardh dan riba jahiliyyah) serta riba berdasarkan transaksi jual beli barang ribawi (riba fadhl dan riba nasi’ah). Berdasarkan Al- Quran, tahapan larangan riba terdiri atas 4 tahap, yaitu Q.S. Ar-Ruum: 39, Q.S. An-Nisa: 160-161, Q.S. Ali Imran: 130 dan tahap terakhir Q.S. Al-Baqarah: 275-281. Adapun salah satu hadits terkait riba yang diriwayatkan oleh Al-Hakim dari Ibnu Mas’ud bahwa Nabi saw bersabda “Riba itu mempunyai 73 pintu (tingkatan); yang paling rendah (dosanya) sama dengan seseorang yang melakukan zina dengan ibunya”. Maka tidak ada pembenaran dalam mengambil riba, sebagaimana Rasulullah saw menekankan dalam amanat terakhirnya pada tanggal 9 Dzulhijjah tahun 10 Hijriah, “Ingatlah bahwa kamu akan menghadap Tuhanmu dan Dia pasti akan menghitung amalanmu.

Model Perhitungan Biaya Produksi Islami Menggunakan Metode Variable Costing (Studi Kasus Usaha Susu Shi Jeckex Cabang Jogja)
Authors: Khoirunnisa Ni'ma , Achiria Siti
Published: December 2019

Every company is required to run its business very well. The success of a company is very much determined by the accuracy and ability of the leader in managing the company. Production costs are one part of the internal steps that must be taken in increasing efficiency. In Islam there is a classification of costs before calculating production costs because not all funds that come out are calculated as production costs. The company can exercise control over activities that do not add value, which refers to cost control to be effective by applying Variable Coasting methods. Because it is seen from the method of calculation, the variable costing approach is more practical and easy to analyze. The results show that, using a calculation with a variable costing approach, the total production costs are lower than the calculation of real use, which is Rp. 55. 718,000 while using the real calculation, the results are greater, which is Rp. It can be seen that the calculation of the company's real production costs is higher than the calculation of production costs using the variable costing method. There is also the main difference between the real calculation of the company and the calculation of variable costing which is located in the treatment of factory overhead costs. The company's real calculations use fixed factory overhead and variable calculations while the variable costing method only calculates variable overhead costs.

OPTIMIZATION OF DIFFERENT PARAMETERS FOR THE EXTRACTION OF POLYPHENOLS AND PROANTHOCYANIDINS FROM PISTACIA VERA HULLS
Authors: WISSAM ZAM
Published: December 2019

Objective: Pistachio (Pistacia vera L.) hull are usually discarded as waste, which can lead to environmental pollution even a significant portion of polyphenols are often present in high concentrations in the outer parts of fruits. In this way, using a pistachio hull as a source of bioactive compounds will increase the value of pistachio production and offer valorization for a useless by-product.

Methods: Different ethanol concentrations (5, 10, 25, 50, 75 and 95 %) were investigated and the extraction efficiency at extraction temperature from 20 to 90 °C and extraction times from 5 to 45 min was studied. The extraction yield of total polyphenols and proanthocyanidins from the pistachio hull and the antioxidant activity of the extract were evaluated.

Results: The obtained results indicated relationships between the tested parameters and extraction yield. The maximum yield for total polyphenols and proanthocyanidins was obtained with 25% ethanol at 60 °C for 15 min (13.91±0.72 and 5.86±0.45 g/100g dry weight, respectively). DPPH radical scavenging activities of extracts were proved to have a linear relationship with the polyphenols yield in the extracts (R2=0.9907) with a maximum DPPH radical scavenging activity of 60.25%.

Conclusion: These findings propose that pistachio hull extracts can be a valuable source of bioactive compounds.

Published: December 2019

Se realizó un inventario de las plantas que conforman el arbolado urbano de la ciudad Sandino cabecera del municipio del mismo nombre, para determinar su composición y distribución. Se identificaron los espacios de mayor importancia  y fueron seleccionados nueve calles, siete parques de descanso, tres parques infantiles, una escuela y tres áreas verdes abiertas. Los resultados mostraron que el arbolado se encuentra conformado por 42 especies, incluidos en 26 familias botánicas. Las familias Arecaceae y Fabaceae son las más representadas con cinco y seis especies respectivamente. Las especies con mayor abundancia fueron Vitex parviflora, Swietenia mahagoni, Dypsis lutescens, Talipariti elatum y Codiaeum variegatum aunque no son las más frecuentes, como es el caso de Delonix regia, única especie que se encuentra en todos los escenarios. Resultaron preocupantes el estado de los parques infantiles por el reducido número de especies así como sus abundancias y las calles de la ciudad en las cuales se evidencia el menor desarrollo de las plantas, manifestado en la altura de los individuos y confirmado por el hecho de ser el área verde urbana con mayor porcentaje de individuos en un estado fitosanitario de regular a malo, aunque de manera general las áreas verdes urbanas de la ciudad cabecera del municipio Sandino están bien representadas y en buenas condiciones fitosanitarias.
Adsorption as alternative process in the preliminary production of automotive additive
Authors: Baia Luana , Raddi de , Pereira Carlos , Carvalho de , Gaya de
Published: December 2019

Nitrogenous contaminants in the diesel fraction are converted to NOx compounds in an automotive combustion chamber. Afterwards, they are reduced to nitrogen by catalytic reduction/oxidation reactions in presence of ammonia derived from a 32.5 wt.% urea solution. This process is named selective catalytic reduction (SCR). In Brazil, the urea solution for SCR is ARLA 32 and must comply with the limit content of 0.3 wt.% of biuret. However, the commercial Brazilian urea solution has an average biuret content of 0.5 wt.%. Thus, it is necessary to adjust the biuret content in urea solution to be used as ARLA 32, and adsorption is a low energy option. The objective of this study was to evaluate commercial adsorbents for removing biuret from solution of commercial urea to adjust it to the specification of ARLA 32. Two activated coals and one ion exchange resin were tested in adsorption assays, with best performances of both coals.

Published: December 2019

The health promoting effects of hot water extracts obtained from fruiting bodies of the commercially cultivated mushroom Agaricus bisporus (AbHW) and the wild-growing mushroom Ganoderma resinaceum (GrHW) originating from northern Serbia are presented in this research. These abilities were compared in vitro by the prevention of lipid peroxidation (LPx) in a linoleic acid model system, inhibition of the angiotension converting I enzyme (ACE) that could help in the maintenance of a normal blood pressure level and strengthening the ability of the central cholinergic neuron by inhibiting the activity of acetylcholinesterase (AChE). Cytotoxic activities were observed towards selected human malignant (HeLa and K562) cell lines and normal- -human peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC). GrHW contains higher phenolics (5.9 g (100 g)-1), inhibition of LPx (EC50 = 1.07 mg mL-1), ACE (IC50 = 0.54 mg mL-1) and AChE (IC50 = 0.37 mg mL-1), and exhibited a significant selectivity in the antitumour action against HeLa (IC50 = 0.14 mg mL-1) and K562 (IC50 = 0.11 mg mL-1) cells. AbHW contained higher total protein (6.4 g (100 g)-1), carbohydrate (75.4 g (100 g)-1) and ?-glucan (55.1 g (100 g)-1) contents and induced significant proliferation of healthy PBMC from 152?116 % in the concentration range of 0.047?0.187 mg mL-1. The difference in the biological activity of the extracts provides guidance on their use as functional food.

Published: December 2019

The 2017 survey of Faculty Attitude on Technology conducted by Insider Higher Ed reported on the low percentage of partnerships between university faculty and instructional designers in online course development. Experts said it is not a surprise because instructional designers are underutilized and their role in Higher Education is still not clear. This qualitative study examined the faculty members’ perceptions about their mentorship relations with instructional designers when they designed and developed asynchronous online courses. This study also explored factors that may lead to successful mentorship relationships between instructional designers as mentors and faculty members as mentees. Higher education administration, university faculty, and instructional designers will benefit from the results of this study.

Authors: Egloffstein Marc , Koegler Kristina , Ifenthaler Dirk
Published: December 2019

The concept of ‘instructional quality’ is central to the design and evaluation of massive open online courses (MOOCs). As MOOCs from the field of business and management are gaining importance both in academia and professional learning, questions on how to determine and improve the quality of these offerings arise. In this paper, we introduce an instrument for evaluating MOOCs against a set of theoretically grounded instructional design principles. After an overview of related research, we describe the concise course scan rubric and its application in detail. A pilot study with N = 101 business MOOCs reveals their rather low overall instructional quality. While most aspects of structuredness and clarity are rated high, the implementation of instructional design principles falls notably behind. The implications from our study point towards a learner-oriented notion of instructional quality and individualized learning and increased learner support in business MOOCs.

Authors: Jorgenson C.Fredrick
Published: December 2019

Holy Bible holds the idea that it is a prophetic vision of the selected prophets of many centuries ago. In general the readers are lighting on anthropocentricism and accordingly this book is meant to teach lessons for the humans and for their salvation. In order to get that from God, a man has to keep God’s commandment and that focuses on the valuable part of human life. By not in a theological and in a humanitarian, then in an ecological perspective it also penetrates the role and functions of nature that exists in men. Thomas Berry, an eco-critic gives the readers a kind of a new interdependence, that might help the ultimate creation split into three types of energy consciousness. That also brings out patriarchal idea of Thomas Berry. Science and Technology also have a part in his new interdependence. This paper deals about the realisation of the hidden ecological teachings of Bible for the humans.
The Confltct between Self and Society
Authors: Anjum Dr. Tasneem
Published: December 2019

Sylvia Plath’s attractive personality, academic achievements and rigid mental makeup did not allow her to compromise and take failures. Self imposed restraint, both in her life and in poetry as well leads to despair. The wonderful years of her life with Ted which she writes and tells her mother, could not find a place in any of her poems. This camouflage forces her to lead double role in life, psychologically, a split personality. In art, this can lead to silence but in real life to suicide. She comes to stage where death and birth mean one and the same. She wanted to go back to the womb in exposition of “lost self”. This strain runs throughout her poems and gives a feeling that she might have died to give authenticity to her poetry. She could neither live with the mask on nor was prepared to expose her real self to the society in which she was an alien and here comes the breaking point. Kamala Das too fought with the society which looks upon women as sexual objects. She was a rebel and does not make any attempts to hide it. She fought with herself to become a unique person and articulated it through poetry.
