Authors: Llerena Wilma , Samaniego Iván , Angós Ignacio , Brito Beatriz , Ortiz Bladimir , Carrillo Wilman
Published: July 2019

Anthocyanins, carotenoids and polyphenols are biomolecules that give the characteristic color to fruits. Carotenoids relate to yellow, orange and red colors whereas anthocyanins and polyphenols mainly relate to purple and red colors. Presently, standard determination of antioxidants is carried out using relatively complex methods and techniques. The aim of this study was to develop a mathematical prediction model to relate the internal color parameters of the Amazonic fruits araza (Eugenia stipitata Mc Vaugh), Andean fruit blackberry (Rubus glaucus Benth), Andean blueberry (Vaccinium floribundum Kunth), goldenberry (Physalis peruviana L.), naranjilla (Solanum quitoense Lam.), and tamarillo (Solanum betaceum Cav.) to their respective anthocyanins, carotenoids and polyphenols contents. The mathematical model was effective in predicting the total anthocyanins content (TAC), the total carotenoids content (TCC) and finally the total phenolic content (TPC) of fruits assayed. Andean blueberry presented a TPC with an experimental value of 7254.62 (mg GAE/100 g sample) with respect to a TPC prediction value of 7315.73 (mg GAE/100 g sample). Andean blackberry presented a TAC with an experimental value of 1416.69 (mg chloride cyanidin 3-glucoside/100 g) with respect to a prediction TAC value of 1413 (mg chloride cyanidin 3-glucoside/100 g).
Margaret McMillan’s Contributions to Cultures of Childhood
Authors: Liebovich Betty
Published: July 2019

Margaret McMillan is widely known for her open-air nursery, making it her life mission to live by the McMillan family motto, Miseris Succurrere Disco, which translates to ‘I endeavour to care for the less fortunate’. Margaret and her sister, Rachel, dedicated their lives to improving living conditions for the poor and working class in England and created health and dental clinics for them in Bradford, Bow and Deptford. During the 1889 Dock Strike, Margaret and Rachel supported workers by marching and demonstrating at Parliament. At the turn of the last century, they were instrumental in inspiring legislation for children’s welfare and education on both local and national levels in England. Their efforts led to campaigning for the 1906 Provision of School Meals Act and medical inspections for primary school children. In an effort to improve health conditions for the children living in the Deptford community, they created night camps for deprived children in 1908. With war impending in 1914, they created the first open air nursery in England in order to serve the disadvantaged community surrounding it, providing a safe and nurturing learning environment for the young children of the women going to work in place of the men who were called up to war. Margaret McMillan’s ideals for young children’s nurture and education continue to influence how we educate children in contemporary England and are woven into the fabric of our goals for young children’s futures.

Published: July 2019

Exposure to natural sounds is known to induce feelings of relaxation; however, only few studies have provided scientific evidence on its physiological effects. This study examined prefrontal cortex and autonomic nervous activities in response to forest sound. A total of 29 female university students (mean age 22.3 ± 2.1 years) were exposed to high-resolution sounds of a forest or city for 60 s, using headphones. Oxyhemoglobin (oxy-Hb) concentrations in the prefrontal cortex were determined by near-infrared spectroscopy. Heart rate, the high-frequency component of heart rate variability (which reflects parasympathetic nervous activity), and the ratio of low-frequency to high-frequency (LF/HF) components (which reflects sympathetic nervous activity) were measured. Subjective evaluation was performed using the modified semantic differential method and profiles of mood states. Exposure to the forest sound resulted in the following significant differences compared with exposure to city sound: decreased oxy-Hb concentrations in the right prefrontal cortex; decreased ln(LF/HF); decreased heart rate; improved feelings described as “comfortable,’’ “relaxed,” and “natural”; and improved mood states. The findings of this study demonstrated that forest-derived auditory stimulation induced physiological and psychological relaxation effects.
Prevalence and Correlates of Behavioral Non-Communicable Diseases Risk Factors among Adolescents in the Seychelles: Results of a National School Survey in 2015
Authors: Pengpid Supa , Peltzer Karl
Published: July 2019

The aim of this study was to investigate the prevalence and correlates of behavioral non-communicable disease (NCD) risk factors among a national sample of school-going adolescents in the Seychelles. Cross-sectional data were analyzed from 2540 school adolescents (median age 14 years, interquartile range = 2), in the Seychelles “Global School-Based Student Health Survey (GSHS)” in 2015. Behavioral NCD risk factors (current tobacco use, current alcohol use, inadequate fruit and vegetable consumption, soft drink consumption, overweight or obesity, physical inactivity, and leisure-time sedentary behavior) were assessed by self-report. Among the seven individual behavioral risk factors, the highest prevalence was physical inactivity (82.7%), followed by daily soft drink consumption (68.3%), inadequate fruit and vegetable consumption (60.9%), leisure-time sedentary behavior (51.0%), current alcohol use (47.6%), overweight or obesity (28.2%), and current tobacco use (23.4%). The total mean number of behavioral NCD risk factors was 3.6 (Standard Deviation = 1.3), and the proportion of co-occurrence of having three or more behavioral NCD risk factors was 80.7%. In adjusted linear regression analysis, male sex, older age, and psychological distress were positively, and school attendance and peer support were negatively associated with the total number of behavioral NCD risk factors. A high prevalence of multiple behavioral NCD risk factors were found and several associated factors were identified, such as male sex, older age, psychological distress, school truancy, and lack of peer support, which may help in aiding intervention programs in this population.

Background: individuals with type 2 diabetes show emotional distress as they learn how to cope with the disease. The emotional distress increases the possibility of complications in these patients. The aims of the present study were to evaluate the impact of the emotional distress in the quality of life of individuals with diabetes, and to investigate the demographic and clinical characteristics associated with the emotional distress of living with diabetes in a Mexican population. Methods: a total of 422 Mexican individuals with type 2 diabetes were recruited from the outpatient Diabetes Clinic of the Hospital Regional de Alta Especialidad Dr. Gustavo A. Rovirosa of Villahermosa, Tabasco. Demographic and clinical characteristics along with quality of life (SF-36) were assessed in these individuals. The emotional distress of living with diabetes was measured using the 5-item Problem Areas in Diabetes. Patients were divided according to the presence of high or low distress. Results: we identified that 31.8% (n = 134) of patients presented high diabetes-related emotional distress. We observed that hepatic diseases as comorbidities (p = 0.008) and diagnosis of major depression (p = 0.04) are factors associated with the emotional distress of living with diabetes. These patients showed a reduced quality of life in all dimensions (p < 0.001); the most affected dimensions were physical role (d = 0.37) and general health (d = 0.89) showing lower scores in comparison with patients with low emotional distress. Conclusions: our results suggest that Mexican individuals with type 2 diabetes mellitus show high emotional distress living with the disease and have a decreased quality of life. Therefore, it is necessary to decrease factors associated with the high emotional distress of living with diabetes in patients with type 2 diabetes.

Objective: To explore the seasonal and monthly patterns, weekly variations, and the holiday effect of outpatient visits for type 2 diabetes mellitus patients, as well as the influence of gender, age, and insurance type on variations. Methods: Data were obtained from the Shandong medical insurance database, including all outpatients in 12 cities of Shandong province in China from 2015 to 2017. The seasonal index (St) was calculated in terms of seasons, months, and weeks by the moving average method. Results: A total of 904,488 patients received outpatient services during the study period. The seasonal indices of outpatient visits by type 2 diabetes patients were higher in autumn (108.36%) and spring (102.67%), while lower in winter (89.92%) and summer (99.04%), exhibiting an obvious seasonality. Gender and age had no effect on seasonal patterns. The month impacted the seasons patterns: January to February were the lowest and December the highest months of outpatient visits, complicating the seasonal patterns. We also identified a weekly pattern of outpatient visits. In addition, the outpatient visits for type 2 diabetes mellitus patients was also strongly affected by the Spring Festival, Lantern Festival, and National Day holiday periods. The type of medical insurance had a significant impact on outpatient visits. Conclusions: The outpatient visits for type 2 diabetes mellitus patients displayed seasonal patterns that were contradictory to the variations in blood glucose fluctuations found in previous studies and was also strongly affected by the holiday effect. The type of medical insurance impacted the pattern of outpatient visits.

Published: July 2019

The nectarine is an important fruit, which is attacked by Drosophila suzukii in Europe and the United States but there are no reports of it attacking nectarines in China. Here, we determined the oviposition preference of D. suzukii six on intact and sliced nectarine varieties in China and how physical and physiological indexes of the fruit correlate with these preferences. D. suzukii were allowed to oviposit on two early–, two middle– and two late–maturing varieties of nectarine—Shuguang and Chunguang, Fengguang and Zhong you 4, Zhong you 7 and Zhong you 8, respectively and the number of larvae also followed the order. The firmness, soluble solids content and the nutritional components of the amino acid, protein, soluble sugar and pectin contents of each variety were measured. D. suzukii preferred the early Shuguang variety, followed by the early Chunguang variety and then the middle Zhong you 4 and Fengguang varieties. Taken together, results show that D. suzukii shows preferences for earlier rather than later varieties of nectarines in China and that these preferences are related to the fruit’s physical and physiological traits. Results suggest that mixed cultivation of early–, middle– and late–maturing nectarine varieties should be avoided in order to prevent fly dispersal and infestation by D. suzukii.
Effect of Composition on the Growth of Single Crystals of (1−x)(Na1/2Bi1/2)TiO3-xSrTiO3 by Solid State Crystal Growth
Authors: Le Phan Gia , Fisher John G. , Moon Won-Jin
Published: July 2019

The (1−x)(Na1/2Bi1/2)TiO3-xSrTiO3 (NBT-100xST) system is a possible lead-free candidate for actuator applications because of its excellent strain vs. electric field behaviour. Use of single crystals instead of polycrystalline ceramics may lead to further improvement in piezoelectric properties but work on single crystal growth in this system is limited. In particular, the effect of composition on single crystal growth has yet to be studied. In this work, single crystals of (NBT-100xST) with x = 0.00, 0.05, 0.10 and 0.20 were grown using the method of Solid State Crystal Growth. [001]-oriented SrTiO3 single crystal seeds were embedded in (NBT-100xST) ceramic powder, which was then pressed to form pellets and sintered at 1200 °C for 5 min–50 h. Single crystal growth rate, matrix grain growth rate and sample microstructure were examined using scanning and transmission electron microscopy. The results indicate that the highest single crystal growth rate was obtained at x = 0.20. The mixed control theory of grain growth is used to explain the single crystal and matrix grain growth behaviour.

Authors: Kwon Young Jin , Casati Riccardo , Coduri Mauro , Vedani Maurizio , Lee Chong Soo
Published: July 2019

A study was performed to investigate the hydrogen embrittlement behavior of 18-Ni 300 maraging steel produced by selective laser melting and subjected to different heat treatment strategies. Hydrogen was pre-charged into the tensile samples by an electro-chemical method at the constant current density of 1 A m−2 and 50 A m−2 for 48 h at room temperature. Charged and uncharged specimens were subjected to tensile tests and the hydrogen concentration was eventually analysed using quadrupole mass spectroscopy. After tensile tests, uncharged maraging samples showed fracture surfaces with dimples. Conversely, in H-charged alloys, quasi-cleavage mode fractures occurred. A lower concentration of trapped hydrogen atoms and higher elongation at fracture were measured in the H-charged samples that were subjected to solution treatment prior to hydrogen charging, compared to the as-built counterparts. Isothermal aging treatment performed at 460 °C for 8 h before hydrogen charging increased the concentration of trapped hydrogen, giving rise to higher hydrogen embrittlement susceptibility.
Some New Inequalities for Dual Continuous g-Frames
Authors: Fu Yanling , Zhang Wei
Published: July 2019

In the present paper, we establish new inequalities for dual continuous generalized frames by adopting operator methods. The inequalities are parameterized by the parameter λ ∈ R . These results generalize those obtained by Balan, Casazza and Găvruţa and cover recently obtained results by Zhang and Li in [Zhang, W.; Li, Y.Z. New inequalities and erasures for continuous g-frames. Math. Rep. 2018, 20, 263–278]. Moreover, we also give an upper bound of inequality for alternate continuous generalized frames in Hilbert spaces. It differs from previous results.

Published: July 2019

In this paper, we apply Caputo-type fractional order calculus to simulate China’s gross domestic product (GDP) growth based on R software, which is a free software environment for statistical computing and graphics. Moreover, we compare the results for the fractional model with the integer order model. In addition, we show the importance of variables according to the BIC criterion. The study shows that Caputo fractional order calculus can produce a better model and perform more accurately in predicting the GDP values from 2012–2016.
A Review of Bioinformatics Tools to Understand Acetaminophen-Alcohol Interaction
Authors: Hedgpeth Bryan , Missall Roy , Bambaci Anna , Smolen Matthew , Yavuz Sevgi , Cottrell Jessica , Chu Tinchun , Chang Sulie L.
Published: July 2019

Background: Drug-ethanol interaction can result in hepatotoxicity. The liver is capable of metabolizing both acetaminophen and ethanol; however, severe acute or moderate chronic simultaneous exposure can cause cell and tissue damage. Therapeutic doses can become harmful if gene activity is altered via competition for metabolic pathways. Simultaneous intake of ethanol and acetaminophen results in overactive CYP2E1 and depletion of glutathione, leaving NAPQI to build up in the liver. NAPQI is a hepatotoxic substance typically neutralized by glutathione. Methods: Bioinformatics tools including PharmGKB, Chemical Annotation Retrieval Toolkit, Transcriptome Analysis Console 4.0 (TAC), wikipathways, STRING, and Ingenuity Pathway Analysis (IPA) were used to explore interactive metabolic pathways of ethanol-acetaminophen exposure as a proof of concept for assessing drug-drug or drug-alcohol interactions. Results: As the ethanol-acetaminophen comparison indicates, bioinformatics tools may be used to understand interactive pathways following exposure to ethanol and acetaminophen, with potential extrapolation to other drug-drug/drug-ethanol interactions. Conclusions: Direct interactive effects were not able to be confirmed through this bioinformatics study due to the lack of existing ethanol-acetaminophen simultaneous exposure data. This work suggests that a battery of software applications should be used to assess interactive effects.

Published: July 2019

Essential oils from Lavandula genus and the obtained hybrids are widely used for different purposes such as perfume production in the cosmetic field and for its biological properties. This is the first study on the liquid and vapour phase of Lavandula × intermedia “Grosso” essential oil grown in the Lazio Region, Italy, investigated using headspace coupled to gas chromatography and mass spectrometry (HS-GC/MS). The results showed the most abundant components were linalool and linalyl acetate, followed by 1,8-cineole and terpinen-4-ol, while lavandulyl acetate and borneol were identified as minor compounds, maintaining the same proportion in both the liquid and vapour phase. Furthermore, we tested lavandin liquid and vapour phase essential oil on gram-negative bacteria (Escherichia coli, Acinetobacter bohemicus, and Pseudomonas fluorescens) and gram-positive bacteria (Bacillus cereus and Kocuria marina).
Evaluation for the Leaching of Cr from Coal Gangue Using Expansive Soils
Authors: Zhang Yan , Baaj Hassan , Zhao Rong
Published: July 2019

Coal gangue can cause significant heavy metal pollution in mining areas, which would have a negative impact on the environment and human health. The objective of this research is to investigate the relationship between expansive soil amount and the leaching behavior of Chromium from coal gangue and the engineering properties of coal gangue used as building materials. The leaching behavior of Chromium from coal gangue was observed using atomic absorption spectrometry. A column leaching experiment was conducted to examine the impact of leaching time and heavy metal concentration. Furthermore, the unconfined compressive strength test was employed to evaluate the engineering properties of coal gangue with expansive soil. The results of the study demonstrate that pH of leachate solutions, leaching time, and expansive soil amounts in mixtures have important influence on Chromium concentration. The leachate solutions, which behave like alkaline, provide a positive environment for adsorbing Cr. Adding expansive soil can reduce leached concentrations of Chromium from coal gangue when compared to leachate of original coal gangue. It was found that 30% expansive soil was an improved solution because it delayed the cumulative concentration to reach the limitation line. Moreover, the unconfined compressive strength of coal gangue was boosted through adding expansive soil.

Published: July 2019

Argon stirring is one of the most widely used metallurgical methods in the secondary refining process as it is economical and easy, and also an important refining method in clean steel production. Aiming at the issue of poor homogeneity of composition and temperature of a bottom argon blowing ladle molten steel in a Chinese steel mill, a 1:5 water model for 110 t ladle was established, and the mixing time and interface slag entrainment under the different conditions of injection modes, flow rates and top slag thicknesses were investigated. The flow dynamics of argon plume in steel ladle was also discussed. The results show that, as the bottom blowing argon flow rate increases, the mixing time of ladle decreases; the depth of slag entrapment increases with the argon flow rate and slag thickness; the area of slag eyes decreases with the decrease of the argon flow rate and increase of slag thickness. The optimum argon flow rate is between 36–42 m3/h, and the double porous plugs injection mode should be adopted at this time.
Prospero, the Divine Shepherd, and Providence: Psalm 23 as a Rubric for Alonso’s Redemptive Progress and the Providential Workings of Prospero’s Spiritual Restoration in Shakespeare’s The Tempest
Authors: Urban David V.
Published: July 2019

In this essay, I argue that Psalm 23 serves as a thematic rubric through which to understand how Prospero’s machinations affect the progress of the redemption of King Alonso throughout the play. At the same time, however, recognizing Prospero’s moral complexities and deficiencies, I also argue that Prospero’s mercy toward and reconciliation with Alonso ultimately demonstrates the sovereign influence of a Providence beyond Prospero’s control—a Providence that works through charity and grace beyond Prospero’s initial intentions. This higher providential power, therefore, ought rightly to be seen as the ultimate shepherd of the play—one who works to affect not only Alonso’s but also Prospero’s spiritual restoration.

Biscuits are the preferred snack for pregnant women. Biscuits can be consumed by pregnant women who are in a state of nausea, because biscuits are a form of dry food. The nutritional needs of pregnant women increase every trimester, so that the consumption of balanced nutritious food must be considered.  Therefore, biscuits are a safe alternative food choice, even when in a state of nausea. This research was experimental using the basic ingredients of green spinach and sorghum flour. The purpose of this study was to make iron-based food products from green spinach and sorghum flour as supplementary food products for pregnant women. This study was tested by organoleptic testing of 30 panelists and iron level testing. Formula 2 biscuits were superior to the organoleptic test results and the best level of iron.

Milk Factory is an industry that produces ready to drink milk, and from the production generates liquid waste that needs to be processed. Biological Oxygen Demand (BOD) is a parameter that can cause problems for the environment and activated sludge is the most effective treatment to eliminate that parameter. Dissolved Oxygen (DO) and Sludge Volume Index (SVI) is a parameter used as a reference to assess the state of activated sludge. The purpose of this study was to determine the differences in the operational time of aerators with activated sludge for 21 hours, 22 hours, 23 hours and 24 hours on decreasing BOD, and SVI, as well as DO levels of milk industry liquid waste. This study is experimental type with a total sample of 40 pieces out of 5 repetitions. Samples were taken by grab sampling method on influent and effluent of activated sludge tank. Kruskall Wallis test results on BOD parameter data, P value 0,162 > α (0,05); One Way ANOVA test results on SVI rate, P value 0,482 > α (0,05); One Way ANOVA test results on DO Level, P value 0,719 > α (0,05), and from these statistical test, it can be concluded that there is no difference between the treatment given and the parameters examined. The highest reduction of BOD is 98,73%, 24 hours operational time; The highest reduction of SVI is 81,30%, 24 hours operational time; The highest increase of DO is 75,86%, 23 hours operational time.

Formalin adalah zat fiksatif yang paling umum digunakan dalam diagnostik patologi. Ia mampu menampilkan morfologi, limfosit, detail inti, dan pewarnaan yang sangat baik. Namun, penggunaan formalin sebagai zat fiksasi rutin memberikan dampak  buruk bagi penggunanya. Standar pengaturan OSHA (Occupational Safety and Health Administration) menyatakan bahwa formalin adalah zat yang berbahaya, Paparan secara akut dapat menyebabkan iritasi pada mata, hidung, dan tenggorokan. Selain itu ia juga dapat menimbulkan reaksi alergi dan karsinogenik pada pengguna. Oleh karenanya, dalam upaya untuk meminimalisir penggunaan formalin tersebut, beberapa penelitian menyebutkan bahwa pemanis alami seperti gula pasir dapat digunakan sebagai alternatif fiksasi. Tujuan dari penelitian ini adalah untuk mengetahui kemampuan larutan gula pasir sebagai alternatif fiksasi dalam memfiksasi jaringan hati dilihat dari keutuhan sel berupa morfologi dan jumlah sel serta mencari konsentrasi optimum dari larutan tersebut dengan membandingkannya pada NBF 10%. Metode yang digunakan adalah Static Group Comparison. Penelitian ini menggunakan subjek hewan uji (kelinci) sebanyak 1 ekor. Data diperoleh dari hasil skoring pada saat pengamatan. Pengolahan data menggunakan Kruskal Wallis Mann Whithney pada konsentrasi glukosa 15% dan glukosa 5% menunjukan tidak ada perbedaan bermakna pada parameter jumlah vena sentral jika dibandingkan dengan NBF 10%. Sedangkan pada konsentrasi glukosa 10% jika dibandingkan dengan NBF 10% menunjukan tidak ada perbedaan bermakna pada parameter jumlah vena sentral dan triad portal, serta keutuhan vena sentral, triad portal, hapatosit, dan sinusoid. Dari analisis tersebut, dapat disimpulkan bahwa gula pasir dengan konsentrasi glukosa 10% dapat dijadikan sebagai alternatif fiksasi untuk mengamati keutuhan sel.

Pemeriksaan sampel darah yang baik harus dilakukan segera setelah pengambilan spesimen darah. Semakin lama penyimpanan maka jumlah sel-sel terhitung makin berkurang karena sel-sel rusak (hemolisis). Bahan pemeriksaan yang diteliti adalah whole blood dengan variasi lama penyimpanan dengan segera, disimpan selama 2 jam, 4 jam, 6 jam dan 8 jam, setiap sampel dilakukan pemeriksaan parameter eritrosit.Tujuan penelitian ini adalah untuk melihat pengaruh antikoagulan K2EDTA dan K3EDTA dengan variasi penyimpanan terhadap parameter eritrosit. Jenis penelitian yang digunakan adalah eksperimen semu. Data dianalisis menggunakan uji General Linear Model untuk  distribusi data normal, uji Friedman dan Wilcoxon untuk distribusi data tidak normal. Hasil pemeriksaan pada beberapa parameter dalam darah K2EDTA dan K3EDTA didapatkan hasil pemeriksaan K3EDTA lebih rendah dibandingkan K2EDTA. Secara statistik untuk parameter hemoglobin, hematokrit dan eritrosit didapatkan nilai sig > 0.05 sehingga dapat dikatakan tidak ada perbedaan yang signifikan dengan menggunakan antikoagulan K2EDTA atau K3EDTA dengan variasi lama penyimpanan. Nilai MCH didapatkan sig < 0,05 dengan penyimpanan 4 jam sehingga  terlihat ada. Nilai MCV didapatkan sig < 0,05 dengan penyimpanan 8 jam sehingga  terlihat ada perbedaan dalam tabung K2EDTA dan K3EDTA. Nilai MCHC tabung K2EDTA didapatkan sig < 0.05 dengan penyimpanan 8 jam terlihat perbedaan dan tabung K3EDTA dengan penyimpanan 6 jam didapatkan sig < 0.05 sudah muncul perbedaan yang signifikan secara statistik. Sedangkan hasil pemeriksaan darah lengkap pada jenis spesimen darah dengan antikoagulan K2EDTA dan K3EDTA dalam tabung vacutainer diperoleh nilai Sig > 0.05, sehingga dapat disimpulkan bahwa tidak terdapat perbedaan yang bermakna secara statistik pada jenis spesimen darah K2EDTA dan K3EDTA  dalam tabung vacutainer terhadap pemeriksaan darah lengkap.

Penggunaan metode biologi molekular seperti PCR dapat mempercepat diagnosis demam tifoid serta memiliki tingkat sensitivitas dan spesifisitas yang tinggi, namun sampel yang berasal dari kultur darah mengandung Sodium polyanethole sulfonate (SPS) yang merupakan inhibitor bagi proses PCR. Proses eliminasi SPS terdapat pada tahap ekstraksi DNA sehingga perlu dipilih metode yang tepat untuk mengekstraksi sampel kultur darah agar proses PCR berhasil. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui perbandingan hasil ekstraksi DNA Salmonella typhi dari kultur darah menggunakan metode Spin column dan Alcohol based. Metode penelitian yang digunakan bersifat eksperimental, dengan membandingkan ekstraksi DNA dari dua metode tersebut ditambah dengan pengenceran sampel 10-1, 10-2, 10-3 dan 10-4 untuk meminimalkan potensi SPS. Hasil ekstraksi kemudian di PCR dan divisualisasikan dengan elektroforesis gel agarose serta didukung dengan pemeriksaan bakteriologis isolat s.typhi pada kultur MCA, uji API 20E dan uji serologi. Berdasarkan hasil penelitian, diketahui bahwa metode Alcohol based berhasil dalam mengekstraksi sampel kultur darah dan menghasilkan band elektroforesis yang jelas hingga pengenceran 10-4 namun metode Spin column gagal karena tidak menghasilkan band elektroforesis bahkan hingga pengenceran 10-4, dari hasil tersebut dapat disimpulkan bahwa metode Alcohol based lebih cocok digunakan untuk mengekstraksi sampel kultur darah dibandingkan metode Spin column.

Salah satu upaya yang harus dilakukan laboratorium untuk menghasilkan hasil pemeriksaan yang dapat dipercaya adalah dengan melakukan quality control (QC) yang dalam arti luas adalah suatu tindakan atau proses yang dilakukan untuk menjamin hasil pemeriksaan yang baik dan dapat dipercaya. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mencari faktor-faktor yang memiliki hubungan dengan pelaksanaan QC di laboratorium. Peneliti telah melakukan survei dengan kuesioner dengan jumlah populasi sebesar 30 laboratorium yang berada di wilayah Kota Bandung. Data yang didapat diolah menggunakan analisis univariat untuk menggambarkan pelaksanaan QC dan bivariat (chi-square) untuk mencari hubungan antara faktor-faktor dengan pelaksanaan QC di laboratorium. Kesimpulan yang didapat dari survey tersebut adalah sebagian besar laboratorium belum menerapkan QC atau sebesar 72% (21). Selain itu, dari survei ini didapatkan faktor yang paling berhubungan dengan implementasi QC di laboratorium, yaitu faktor kebijakan manajemen (sig 0,024), sedangkan faktor sarana dan prasarana (sig 0,642) serta pengetahuan ATLM terhadap QC (sig 0,561) tidak berpengaruh signifikan terhadap terlaksananya QC di laboratorium.
