Published: July 2024

Garcinia prainiana is a critically endangered tree belongs to the family Clusiaceae found native in Asia and yet not many studies have been conducted to scientifically study its medicinal potential. The present study was conducted to evaluate potential antioxidant, antimicrobial and to screen the phytochemical screening of Garcinia prainiana methanolic extract. The solvent used for extraction was methanol for dried leaves, twig and fruit sample. Antioxidant activity was tested using free radical diphenylpicrylhydrayl (DPPH) assay. While for antimicrobial activity, the disc diffusion method was carried out against six types of pathogenic bacteria from Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria. In addition, quantitative phytochemical screening was carried out to determine total phenolic and flavonoid content of the methanolic extract. The plant showed moderate antioxidant activity. Garcinia leaves extract showed the highest antioxidant activity (70.43%) followed by twig extract (47.46%) and fruit extract (44.45%). The IC50 value managed to be obtained from leaves extract at 0.26 mg/ml. Meanwhile, for antimicrobial activities, zone of inhibition was determined at 100 mg/ml for leaves extract (9 Â± 0.73 mm) and twig extract (7 Â±0.5 mm) against Salmonella typhimurium ATCC 14028. Quantitative phytochemical screening showed that total phenolic content was the highest in leaves extract at 51.83mg GAE/g, while for total flavonoid content, fruit extract showed the highest value at 80.93 mg QE/g. Total phenolic content showed a good correlation with the antioxidant activity, but not with total flavonoid content.Â

Published: July 2024

Feed and food crisis has been a global concern due to its increasing prices. It led researchers to consider an alternative non-conventional edible material. This paper discussed the previous studies conducted on rubber seed as feed and food.Â  Rubber Tree (Hevea brasiliensis)Â is a multipurpose tree; grown primarily for the production of latex with numerous useful by-products such as rubber seed, woods and oil. The rubber seed has a promising amount of crude protein, with the existence of a major toxic compound (cyanogenic compound) which has hindered the proper utilisation of the existing nutrient. The present review finds out the nutritional composition of the rubber seed to be moisture content was 3.99%, crude protein 23, crude fat 68.5 and ash 4.3 g/100g respectively. The amino acid in rubber seed was high in Glutamic acid (16.13%) and low in Cysteine (0.78%). Since, rubber seeds contained substantial amount proximate components, therefore it could be assumed as edible food and promising feed resource for livestock. Despite its promising protein contents, rubber seed meal contains cyanogens compound but this drawback could be overcome by boiling and storage time period which could lead to increase the nutrients availability and utilisation of rubber seed as edible feed and food.Â

Published: July 2024

The objective of this study was to compare the physicochemicalÂ  properties (cooking yield, folding test, gel strength, expressible moisture, texture profile analysis, and color) of minced fish containing quail bone gelatin (QBG), commercial bovine gelatin (CBG), or commercial fish gelatin (CFG). QBG was prepared using two acid pretreaments: hydrochloric acid (QBGHCl) and citric acid (QBGc.a). The cooking yield of minced fish gels improved from 94.23% to 96.17â€“98.48% by the addition of gelatin. Addition of QBGHCl, QBGc.a, CBG, and CFG improved the folding test result from 1.00 to 2.00, reduced expressible moisture from 37.90% to 29.59, 30.19, 27.81, and 36.73%, respectively, and improved gel strength from 69.42 g.cm to 92.17, 96.5, 155.30, and 99.73 g.cm, respectively. Addition of gelatin also increased the hardness and decreased the whiteness of fish minced gels. Thus, the addition of QBG has potential as an alternative gelatin source for improving the physicochemical properties of minced fish.Â Â

Published: July 2024

Propolis is a sticky substance made up of mixture of plant resin, wax and bee saliva. Propolis has been used in various health related problems as well as cosmetic ingredient.Â  This work was evaluating chemical fingerprint of Malaysian stingless bee propolis produced by two species, Heterotrigona itama (HI) and Geniotrigona thoracica (GT). Chemical fingerprint derived from fingerprint region (FR) of ATR-FTIR dataset of two types of extract, methanol (MHI, MGT) and ethanol (EHI, EGT). Principal component analysis and hierarchical cluster analysis was employed to discriminate the two species. The total variances account for FR was 95.63 % (PC1 = 54.01 %, PC2 = 41.61 %). EHI and EGT clustered closely between them and separately from MHI and MGT. HCA conform the grouping by PCA. GC-MS analysis revealed the presence of 20 different phytochemicals in methanol, while ethanol extract shown only 17 different phytochemicals of GT propolis. Meanwhile, 24 different phytochemicals were identified in methanol extract and 13 compounds presence in ethanol extract from propolis samples collected by HI species. Based on the good separation observed in both spectroscopic and chromatographic data, it seems reasonable to use chemical fingerprint coupled with chemometric analysis to differentiate two different species of stingless bee propolis. The findings from this study can be used as identification, classification and quality control methods for the profiling of propolisÂ Â

Published: July 2024

In the article it is analyzed the existing approaches to providing company management with cost information from the centers of responsibility. An algorithm for the formation of internal reporting indicators at the machine-building enterprises is proposed. The first stage of such an algorithm is the development of information cards with a list of quantitative and cost data and a schedule of workflow for each center of responsibility. Further, the established timeliness is formed by reporting and determined by the comparison of actual indicators from the estimate. Thus, account is taken of responsibility on the principle of controlling costs, which implies the spread of responsibility of each specific manager only to those areas that he can really affect. The next step is to submit forms of reporting by the heads of production units in a hierarchical scheme. The form of the reports and their content depends on the characteristics of the center of responsibility and indicators. Application of the proposed reporting will provide managers at all levels with the necessary information on the costs of the centers of responsibility, which will increase the profitability of both separate segments of activity and machine building enterprises in general.Â

Architecture as an order of human society should correspond to the functional, aesthetic, time needs and financial capabilities of all strata of society. Â In this article described the main functional division of industrial objects system.When designing industrial objects, the main task of the architect is to create a construction that would be most suitable for the technological process of production. That is, he must take into account all the factors and conditions that govern the hierarchical structure of the industry and design a factory or plant that would be a modern element of the production system. Back in 1923 A. Rozenberg, in his book "Philosophy of Architecture", wrote: "It is impossible to properly design an architectural structure, not knowing precisely the organization of the process for which it is intended. And therefore, the deeper the architect will penetrate into its details of the organization, the more accurate it will clear itself to all the requirements imposed on the organization of the process, its course, the properties of the individual components of the mass of the process, and will establish the scheme of the process - that the conformity of the architectural structure to the process taking place in it will be more perfect, and the better will be the construction.

Study of Humanity as a Preventive Action Against Terrorism based on Behaviorism Theory
Authors: Nurhayati Mamun Titin , Riyani Tanty , Darjan Murnisari
Published: July 2024

Terrorism is becoming a serious issue, making the world such an unsafe place for humans. According to the European Convention on The Suppression of Terrorism in 1977, terrorism is no longer a criminal behavior against the state, but criminal behavior against humanity. The main cause of terrorism is the spread of radicalism, which semantically means: the notion of wanting change or social and political renewal by violent means. Of course, the eradication of radicalism and terrorism can only be done in a preventive way, namely through learning about the value of humanity from an early age. Based on the theory of Behaviorism, learning is the process of interaction between stimulus and response, so changes in behavior due to learning activities can be tangible. Hence the inclusion of humanitarian studies into the curriculum of education of each country is essential, because the value that is invested early on through the process of learning in the class will be more inherent in the minds of each student, the results and indicators of success can be easily measured. The implementation of the idea is adapted to the culture and educational conditions prevailing in each country, and we are in need of UNESCO involvement which is a Non-Government Organization under the United Nations to carry out the control function as an international organization engaged in education. The outcome of implementing this idea is certainly the decline in the number of radicalism-terrorism that takes place, making the world a more humanist place in the future.Â Â

Â By the massive agricultural land conversion which threatened the farming sustainability, the agricultural extension planning should not merely to improve the farming innovativeness and skill of the farmer, but it should be focused comprehensively on controlling the risk of land conversion (LCR). Therefore, the research aims to identify the event of LCR, the agents of LCR, and finally to formulate the agricultural extension planning to control the agents of LCRs. The in-depth interview with the 60 of farmer groupâ€™s head in West Java, Indonesia, from June to October 2016, the research pointed out four events of LCR and seven agents of risk induced the coming of LCR, mainly in cultivation and plant maintenance phase. Based the HOR model analysis, the agricultural extension should be prioritized sequentially to implement the integrated planning of developing the skillful volunteer to work proudly in paddy-farming; high cooperation with many sides to form the opinion that rice farming is respectable; and it should highly be supported by the government program to buy the fertile farm land sold by the owners.Â

In the holistic technique (HT) the whole information of the Arabic word is calculated using many possible features. In this paper, this approach is used to test the possible uses of the HT in the Arabic OCR systems. The HT is used to reduce the possible candidates for each word. We succeeded to reduce the candidates to around 115 with accuracy over 99%, given a single font and a single size from a large lexicon of more than 356K words. This vocabulary size has a good coverage for the Arabic Language. This means that the problem facing the OCR classifier is tremendously reduced, and much higher accuracy can be expected for the OCR systems.Â Â

According to a US study, 70% of the strategic failures aren't due to a lack of vision, but a poor implementation of it. In other words, a strategy needs steering, which needs indicators.However, the battery of indicators that exist and their diversity poses a problem of their relevance for piloting.In other words, a performance must lead in terms of strategy to the identification of a key success factor, guaranteeing the competitive advantage in the sense of Michael PORTER. This amounts to evaluating the performance not as an analysis of the result, but rather as a result of the action of the decision-maker (the manager).Â

The geopolymer concrete (GC) is a cement replaced by aluminosilicate material combined with alkaline solution to produce strong binding property and replaced function of ordinary Portland cement. The purpose of this research was to determine the relationship between alkali solution concentrations (8 M, 10 M and 12 M), heat curing temperature and heat curing duration as the influencing parameters of concrete strengths. Geopolymer sample was prepared under different target heating temperatures which were room temperature and heat curing ranges of 60 Â°C to 100 Â°C for a duration curing period of 24 hours in the oven. Then the specimens were left in a room temperature until the testing day. The mechanical properties of geopolymer concrete were determined with the compressive test. The comparison was made with concrete control specimens that cured in ambient temperature. The results were determined from 7 days specimens after the curing process. The results show that the compressive strength of GCs under heat curing condition was developed quickly when there is an increase in temperature. It can be concluded that the temperature plays an important role in accelerating the GC strength increment compared to curing in ambient temperature.Â
