Authors: Yusli Nurul Aisyah , Saupi Noorasmah , Kamilah Hanisah
Published: December 2023

The use of plants as food flavourings, commonly known as herbs and spices, serves as natural sources of flavour, altering the taste and aroma of dishes with only a small amount. Beyond flavour, these plants also contribute essential antioxidants crucial for human health by inhibiting free radicals that can lead to various diseases. In Bintulu, Sarawak, Malaysia, locals traditionally consume indigenous flavouring plants primarily for their culinary impact, often overlooking the pharmaceutical value these plants may offer. This study aimed to assess the marketable appearance and antioxidant composition of indigenous food flavouring plants in Bintulu. Bunches of Pangium edule, Premna serratifolia, Pycnarrhena tumefacta, Scorodocarpus borneensis, and Syzygium polyanthum were obtained from the local farmers market and analyzed for morphological dimensions, total phenolic content, free radical scavenging ability (DPPH), and ferric reducing ability (FRAP). The edible portion of the plants ranged from 57.33% to 84.99%, with P. edule exhibiting the largest edible blade. Total phenolic content varied from 343.27 to 3245.67 mg GAE/100 g, with P. serratifolia having the highest value. Premna serratifolia demonstrated the strongest radical scavenging activity, while S. polyanthum exhibited the highest ferric reducing ability. All species exhibited high antioxidant composition (IC50 = 0.10 to 27.6 µg/mL, FRAP = 469.88 to 9272.50 mg TE/100 g), indicating potential medicinal utility. Further studies on anti-nutrients like oxalate and phytate are recommended to complement the obtained data. Additionally, an ethnobotanical study is suggested to document the traditional medicinal uses of these plants alongside their role as flavor enhancers in cooking.

Published: December 2023

Ficus carica Linnaeus is a flowering plant under the Moraceae family, usually propagated conventionally from cuttings due to the seeds being non-viable. However, this method is prone to diseases, and pests, time-consuming and space-intensive. Therefore, other methods are needed to overcome these issues. This study was conducted to induce callus and multiple shoots via plant tissue culture techniques enabling mass production of fig plants. Initially, leaf segments of Ficus carica L. cv Siyah Orak were cultured on different MS media strengths (¼, ½, ¾,1 MS) to induce callus. The highest callus means weight was observed on explant cultured in ¾ MS media (875±0.036). Callus was proliferated by subculturing explant into ¾ MS media supplemented with different concentrations of TDZ (0, 0.5, 1.0, 1.5, 2.0, 2.5, 3.0 mg/L). MS media (3/4) supplemented with 2.0 mg/L TDZ (920±0.03) shows the best result for callus proliferation. Callus induction using transverse and longitudinal thin cell layers from nodal segments cultured on different MS media strengths (¼, ½, ¾,1 MS) shows ¼ MS as the optimum media for both tTCL (100±0) and lTCL (96.7±0.15). Friable callus (%) was observed the highest on ½ MS (63.33±0.55) and ¼ MS (76.67±0.50) media for both tTCL and lTCL, respectively. As for the number of leaves produced, both tTCL (0.83±0.0.28) and lTCL (1.00±0.33) explant showed the best results in ¼ MS media. Apical buds produced the highest mean for both the number of leaves and length of the shoot on 1MS media supplemented with 2.0 mg/L BAP (3.5±0.20, 13.73±0.66), respectively. For root formation (%) and number of roots, both show the best results in media supplemented with 2.5 mg/L IAA (10±0.31, 0.83±0.50). It can be concluded that the best shoot growth performance was observed from apical bud cultured on 1MS media supplemented with 2.0 mg/L BAP+ 2.5 mg/L IAA.

Authors: Jinang Christine , Roney Patricia Rachel , Abat Margaret
Published: December 2023

Carbofuran is toxic to humans and the environment, and its misuse in agriculture results in the violation of Maximum Residue Limits (MRL) for most crops. The use of carbofuran in Malaysia is to be banned effectively in May 2023. Limited data were published on the uptake and distribution of carbofuran and its metabolites for most crops. Therefore, a study was conducted to assess carbofuran residues in watermelon grown at the Agriculture Research Centre, Semongok. Carbofuran at 17 kg/ha and 34 kg/ha were applied to watermelon planted under the recommended agronomic practices. The plants were sampled at periodic intervals over 63 days after being treated with carbofuran. The carbofuran and their metabolites in the watermelon leaf, stem, and fruits were determined using a liquid chromatography equipped with a triple quadrupole mass spectrometer. The carbofuran residues were observed up to 35 days after application and reached below the quantification level (0.01 mg/kg) at 42 days after application. Residues were concentrated in the roots and stems for both treatments. About 80 to 90% of the carbofuran was metabolized to carbofuran-3-hydroxy in the watermelon leaves, and 50% in the stems. The highest residue level of carbofuran for application at 17 kg/ha was recorded on Day 9 for roots (0.192 mg/kg), Day 21 for leaves (0.057 mg/kg), and Day 5 for stems (0.134 mg/kg). At 34 kg/ha, the highest carbofuran residues concentrations were recorded on Day 5 for root (0.446 mg/kg) and stem (0.151 mg/kg), and Day 3 for leaves at 0.303 mg/kg. Traces of carbofuran residues were detected in the skin and flesh of the fruit. The carbofuran residue levels in watermelon fruit were below the established MRL of 0.01 mg/kg. Our findings suggest that a proper postharvest interval shall be observed.

The essential oil (EO) extracted from the peels and seeds of guavira (Campomanesia adamantium) was microencapsulated via complex coacervation between gelatin and gum arabic, followed by freeze-drying. This process aimed to reduce the volatility of the essential oil and protect bioactive compounds through the microcapsule wall. For process optimization, the influence of proportions of wall materials (gelatin: gum arabic ratios of 1:1, 1:2, 1:3, 2:1, and 3:1) and EO quantity (20% - 42.8%) on antioxidant capacity, morphology, and microencapsulation yield was measured using a central composite rotational design (CCRD). Additionally, the chemical composition and EO retention rate in the microcapsules were assessed. Gelatin: gum arabic ratio of 1:2 and EO quantity of 40.3% resulted in superior results, with the highest antioxidant capacity, a microencapsulation yield of 68%, and spherical morphology. Notably, the incorporation of a higher amount of EO led to an increase in the antioxidant capacity, with values reaching up to 99% equivalent to pure oil. All formulations maintained the same pure EO’s main constituents, including α-pinene, limonene, β-ocimene, and β-caryophyllene, indicated by gas chromatography coupled to mass spectrometry. Consequently, for the first time, EO microcapsules were successfully obtained from guavira residue, showing high microencapsulation yield and EO retention. This achievement adds sustainable value to residue normally discarded, which enables better use of residue generated by the food industry. Due to the preservation of its antioxidant capacity and enhanced retention of volatile compounds, these microcapsules promise applications in the food, pharmaceutical, and cosmetic industries, aligning with sustainability principles.

Water is the conventional coolant in the IC engine cooling system. The most recent developments in nanotechnology have led to improvements in the original uses of Nanoparticles in car engine cooling systems. In this study, Nano fluids formed by using kinds of nanoparticles 〖Al〗_2 O_3 and 〖TiO〗_2 were added to the four-stroke internal combustion engine radiator and compared with the conventional coolant (pure water). The purpose of adding these nanoparticles to base fluid is to improve thermal conductivity of the coolant. First base water is used as coolant and simulation is carried out. Then 〖Al〗_2 O_3 and 〖TiO〗_2 nanoparticles had added in base fluid as coolant and CFD fluent simulation is carried out. The result shows that Nanoparticles of 2% 〖Al〗_2 O_3 is 15.04% enhancement of heat transfer than base fluid and 4% 〖Al〗_2 O_3 increases heat transfer rate to 21.28% while 2% of 〖TiO〗_2 is 14.28%enhancement of heat transfer compared to base fluid and 4% TiO2 increases the rate of heat transfer to 18.69%. 〖Al〗_2 O_3 Nanoparticles shows better result than 〖TiO〗_2 and concentration of nanoparticles has a positive effect on the heat transfer rate of the cooling system. The experimental investigation on stability Nanoparticles dispersion through visualization and UV. visible spectroscopy absorbance measurement is carried out on 〖Al〗_2 O_3 Nano fluid prepared by pH modification and pH~7.5 is relatively more stable. Experiments are performed with pure water and Nanoparticles in coolant separately and results showed that 0.02 concentration of Nanoparticles enhances heat transfer rate by 17.5%. Increases the concentration of nanoparticles and flowrate leads to increases heat transfer rate which leads to improved radiator performance.

Published: December 2023

Current strides of image dependent 3 dimension human outline estimation have progressed due to remarkable strides in depiction capabilities facilitated by deep NN. Despite the strides made in real-world applications, existing methods still fall short in generating reconstructions that match the intricate details often found in the original images. We posit that this deficiency primarily arises from the clash between two competing demands: accurate predictions necessitate extensive contextual information, while precise predictions hinge on higher resolutions. Owing to the limitations in current hardware memory, prior techniques have leaned towards utilizing low-resolution images to encompass broader spatial context, resulting in less precise or lower-resolution 3D estimations. To overcome this hurdle, we have devised multi layered algorithm that undergoes endwise training. At rough level, model comprehensively processes the entire image at a reduced resolution, emphasizing holistic reasoning. This coarse level furnishes essential context to a finer level, which focuses on estimating highly intricate geometries by scrutinizing higher-resolution images. Our research demonstrates a substantial enhancement in performance compared to prior methodologies, showcasing the superior capabilities of our approach.

Werkende ouders met ernstig zieke kinderen; klem tussen arbeid en zorg(en)

In deze bijdrage staat de positie van werkende ouders met een ernstig ziek kind centraal, in het bijzonder de ervaren tekortkomingen van de regeling langdurend zorgverlof. Op basis van een juridische analyse en onderzoek naar de praktijkervaringen van werkende ouders met ernstig zieke kinderen wordt bepleit dat het langdurend zorgverlof voor deze groep verbetering behoeft. We beginnen met een uiteenzetting van de voorgeschiedenis en de huidige stand van het zorgverlofrecht en de overige voorzieningen in tijd, flexibiliteit en geld. Vervolgens doen we verslag van de uitkomsten van een steekproef onder ouders in een oncologisch behandeltraject van hun kind. Aansluitend beargumenteren we waarom het over één kam scheren van ouders van ernstig zieke kinderen en (andere) mantelzorgers geen stand houdt vanuit een kinder- en familierechtelijk perspectief. Ook bezien we hoe Nederland zich in dit opzicht tot andere landen verhoudt. We sluiten af met een conclusie en enkele suggesties voor een nieuw kabinet.

Collectieve actie voor benadeelde partijen in het strafproces? Pleidooi voor een collectieve schadevergoedingsvordering in de strafprocedure

Kan een organisatie de belangen van benadeelden in een strafprocedure behartigen door voeging van een collectieve schadevergoedingsvordering? Voegingsgerechtigd zijn rechtstreeks benadeelden van het strafbare feit waarvoor de verdachte wordt veroordeeld. Benadeelden kunnen hiervoor een andere partij machtigen. Ik betoog dat een organisatie aan artikel 3:305a BW haar bevoegdheid kan ontlenen om voor benadeelden een collectieve schadevergoedingsvordering bij de strafrechter in te stellen. De hierbij geldende bijzondere ontvankelijkheidsvoorwaarde waaronder de belangrijkste dat hun belangen gelijksoortig zijn, zodat de rechter in staat is deze gebundeld te behandelen en te abstraheren van de individuele feiten en omstandigheden, maakt dat de beoordeling hiervan het strafproces niet onevenredig belast.

Het schemergebied tussen institutional corruption en strafbare passieve omkoping: de zaak-De Mos

De rechtbank Rotterdam spreekt Richard de Mos vrij van ambtelijke omkoping middels het ontvangen van partijdonaties. Belangrijke overweging was dat partijdonaties niet gelden als een omstandigheid waaruit blijkt dat deze werden gedaan om een ambtenaar te bewegen iets te doen of na te laten, en dat er geen specifieke wettelijke regeling is voor dergelijke donaties. Dat oordeel roept de vraag op of de rechtbank het risico van omkoping met partijdonaties niet heeft onderschat, en meer ruimte had om zelf een objectieve, normatieve invulling te geven aan het bij de ambtenaar noodzakelijke ‘redelijkerwijs moeten vermoeden’.

Waterschapsverkiezingen opnieuw bezien: de verschillen tussen de verkiezingen van 2019 en van 2023

Dit essay bespreekt de uitkomst van de waterschapsverkiezingen van 15 maart 2023 en vergelijkt deze met de verkiezingen van 2019. Er is immers sprake van enkele duidelijke verschillen. Zo zijn door een (relatief late) wetswijziging de ‘geborgde’ zetels voor de categorie bedrijven komen te vervallen en hebben de andere geborgde categorieën ongebouwd en natuurterreinen elk twee zetels in ieder waterschapsbestuur gekregen. Door deze veranderingen is het aantal te verkiezen zetels voor de categorie ingezetenen met 86 zetels sterk toegenomen. Ook de succesvolle opkomst van de BBB vormt een opvallend verschil ten opzichte van 2019. Aan de hand van enkele tabellen wordt de opkomst en uitslag van de jongste waterschapsverkiezingen alsmede de nieuwe samenstelling van de algemeen en dagelijks besturen van de waterschappen geschetst. In het licht van de opkomst van de BBB wordt ten slotte bezien of de nieuwe collegeakkoorden van de waterschappen in vergelijking met 2019 heel andere voornemens bevatten.

restrictions imposed by COVID-19. Educators recommended that aspiring educators should
be made aware of expectations for virtual teaching. They also stressed that supervisors
should look for these skills and technological competence in future hiring. Implications
for best practices for future programming are discussed.
Barriers to Policy, Systems, and Environment Work: Using Community
Engagement as a Tool in SNAP-Ed’s Multi-Level Comprehensive Programming
Authors: Meier Cristian , Coombs Casey , Farnsworth Amria , Jimenez LaCee , LeBlanc Heidi
Published: December 2023

Implementing policy, system, and environmental (PSE)
changes has several well-known challenges that have been documented in Supplemental
Nutrition Assistance Program Education’s (SNAP-Ed) comprehensive approach to obesity
prevention and reduction. The purpose of the current study was to explore the use of
community engagement (CE) as a strategy to address the common challenges experienced in
implementing a multi-component community-based program. Phone interviews (N = 7) were
conducted with SNAP-Ed educators in Utah using semi-structured interviews. Emergent
themes were identified as transcripts were coded independently by two researchers until
a high level of agreement was achieved. Four themes emerged from the interviews:
barriers to PSE progress, educator CE, the perceived value of using a CE approach to PSE
work, and future supports that could increase educators’ ability to use CE when doing
PSE work. While effective at eliciting long-term improvements among priority
populations, there are several well-documented challenges associated with developing,
implementing, and sustaining PSE projects. CE, defined as the process of involving
members of a community in the planning, design, implementation, and improvement of a
community-based initiative, may be an effective strategy to overcome many of these
challenges and lead to long-term PSE changes and improved health outcomes.

Published: December 2023

Cooperative Extension Systems (CESs) provide programming
to early care and education (ECE) professionals. The COVID-19 pandemic significantly
impacted the needs of ECE professionals. The purpose of this study was to document how
CESs helped ECE professionals respond to the pandemic during its first year and how
Extension programming was altered in response to the pandemic. Between March and June
2020, representatives from all 87 CESs in the 50 U.S. states; Washington, DC; and six
U.S. territories were invited to complete an online survey that included six questions
about the pandemic. We received responses from 43 CESs (49% response rate). The analytic
sample (n=30) included only CESs that offer programming for ECE professionals. Most CESs
(73%) offered programming to help ECE professionals respond to the pandemic, and
informal needs assessment methods were used to make programming decisions. A variety of
media were used to disseminate information, including email, Extension websites, social
media, print media, video conferencing, and phone calls. In response to the pandemic,
most CES (80%) moved in-person programming online. Moving forward, Extension
professionals should incorporate systematic needs assessment and evaluation efforts to
ensure programming meets the needs of those we aim to serve.

Annulment of a marriage is an action that states that the marriage bond that has been entered into is invalid according to the court's decision. The result is that the marriage is considered to have never existed. A marriage can be annulled if it does not meet the legal requirements. The research method used is qualitative descriptive with an empirical normative approach. The purpose of this paper is to understand the factors that cause marriage annulment and the legal consequences of marriage annulment on the status of children. The results of this research are that the effect of marriage annulment on the status of the child resulting from the marriage is called "my status" meaning that the child is not decided by the father and not decided by the mother, but remains a legitimate child. In child care, if the child is under 12 years old, the mother will care for him, whereas if the child is over 12 years old, the child can decide to go with his father or mother. So the child's status is called "my status".

Introdução: A obesidade tem aumentado nas últimas décadas, sendo considerado um problema de saúde pública. Excesso de peso corporal está associado à inflamação sistêmica, contribuindo para o desenvolvimento de doenças cardiovasculares. A infecção pela Helicobacter pylori acomete aproximadamente 50% da população mundial, estuda-se uma possível associação da infecção pela H. pylori com desenvolvimento de doenças cardiovasculares, porém com resultados controversos. Objetivo: Analisar a associação entre variáveis antropométricas e infecção pela H. pylori em pacientes dispépticos. Método: Estudo transversal quantitativo, onde analisou-se 125 pacientes dispépticos atendidos em um serviço público de endoscopia. Foi realizada entrevista para coleta dos dados sociodemográficos e consulta aos prontuários para investigação dos diagnósticos endoscópicos e infeção pela H. pylori. Avaliação antropométrica determinou o Índice de Massa Corpórea, Circunferência de Pescoço, Circunferência de Cintura e Relação Cintura- Estatura. Os dados foram analisados utilizando o programa de estatística SPSS 22.0. O presente estudo foi aprovado pelo Comitê de Ética em Pesquisa, parecer nº 3.212.699. Resultados: Os resultados evidenciaram 64,9% de indivíduos do sexo feminino, com idade entre 18 e 82 anos. Os maiores valores de índice de massa corpórea estavam associados aos pacientes com faixa etária de 46 a 59 anos e que se declararam com cor da pele não pardo IMC (média= 27,6 Kg/m2; p=0,02). As maiores médias de circunferência de pescoço foram associadas ao sexo masculino (média= 38,7 cm; p<0,0001), com mais de oito anos de estudo (média= 37,4 cm; p<0,0001) e que praticavam atividade física (média= 37,4 cm; p<0,04). As maiores medias de circunferência de cintura estavam associados ao sexo masculino (média=92,2 cm; p=0,01) e aos maiores de 45 anos de idade (média= 91,5cm; p<0,0001). Os maiores valores de relação cintura-estatura foram associados aos pacientes acima de 45 anos de idade (média= 0,58 cm/m2; p=0,01), cor da pele não pardos (média= 0,56 cm/m2; p=0,02) e tabagistas (média= 0,59 cm/m2; p=0,04). Não houve associação dos parâmetros antropométricos analisados com infecção por H. pylori. Maiores médias de circunferência de cintura estavam associados aos pacientes com ulcera péptica Conclusão: Portanto, incluir parâmetros antropométricos na avaliação de pacientes dispépticos na investigação da obesidade contribuirá para promoção da saúde e prevenção de doenças cardiovasculares.

A pele é o órgão do corpo humano mais exposto aos desgastes causados pelos fatores externos presentes no dia a dia e pelo desgaste natural do tempo, deixando visíveis os sinais de envelhecimento. Com a maior expectativa de vida e cobranças por padrões estéticos ocorre a busca por prevenir e combater esse envelhecimento, recorrendo a tratamentos em clínicas e produtos que tragam benefícios nesse intuito, além de soluções para outras desordens estéticas. Frente a isso, a indústria farmacêutica surge através da cosmecêutica trazendo soluções com o desenvolvimento de dermocosméticos que, no Brasil, é considerado cosmético grau 2 e requer cumprir alguns requisitos para comercialização. Nesse contexto, é relevante conhecer o uso dos dermocosméticos, bem como o papel do farmacêutico nesse âmbito. Para isso, foi realizada uma revisão integrativa trazendo formulações dermocosméticas, objetivando conhecer os ativos e aplicações. Os estudos selecionados mostraram a importância dos dermocosméticos, bem como da atuação do farmacêutico desde a manipulação até a identificação do ativo correto para a necessidade do paciente, na orientação de uso e avaliação de efeitos adversos.

O presente artigo dispõe sobre o avanço da era tecnológica. Pretendemos analisar os impactos que trarão ao mercado de trabalho desta nova era, trazendo a história da tecnologia, traçando os caminhos das inovações e das conquistas, desde as primeiras ferramentas de pedra até a atual inteligência artificial (IA). Percebe-se que nos últimos anos está se presenciando que as máquinas são capazes de realizar tarefas que eram exclusivas dos seres humanos, o que gera impacto de automação em empregos. O mercado desenvolve mecanismos e ferramentas para otimização de produção e tempo, uma delas é a IA, que auxilia os trabalhadores a automatizar processos. Essas inovações facilitam a vida das pessoas, proporcionam acesso instantâneo à informação e aumentam a produtividade em todas as áreas. À medida que a tecnologia continua a evoluir, as sociedades, os governos e os legisladores devem estar preparados para responder aos desafios que surgem. Para minimizar esses impactos, algumas medidas terão de ser adotadas, desde supervisão adequada até a proteção dos direitos humanos e a ética na utilização da ciência e da tecnologia. São aspectos importantes para garantir que essas inovações beneficiem toda a humanidade. Portanto, é muito importante formular leis e regulamentos para limitar o rápido desenvolvimento da tecnologia, a fim de evitar a substituição em larga escala de profissões e o domínio da humanidade.
