Fatty acid profile and changes in quality of smoked barracuda fish (Sphyraena
jello) with different concentrations of liquid smoke
Authors: Wicaksono A.R. , Swastawati F. , Anggo A.D.
Published: October 2023

Barracuda fish (Sphyraena jello) is an Indonesian marine capture fishery with high
economic value and is in high demand among consumers because it has a delicious taste
and complete nutritional profile. One of the nutrients contained in barracuda fish is fatty
acids. Fatty acids are easily oxidized which causes a rancid odour in fish. The method of
processing with smoking using liquid smoke can prevent oxidation in fish caused by the
phenol content in liquid smoke which acts as an antioxidant. This study aimed to examine
the effect of different concentrations of liquid smoke on the fatty acids of smoked
barracuda fish. The experimental design used was RAL (completely randomized design),
and analysis of variance (ANOVA) was used to analyze the data, and then the honestly
significant difference test was performed. The treatments included the addition of liquid
smoke with a concentration of 0% as control, 4%, 6% and 8% with three repetitions. The
parameters tested were fatty acid profile, cholesterol content, moisture content, lipid
content, phenol content, and organoleptic test. The results showed that applying liquid
smoke can retain fat and fatty acids in smoked barracuda fish. The highest fatty acids in
smoked barracuda fish were palmitic acid with a value of 1.084-1.618% (%w/w) for
saturated fatty acids, oleic acid with a value of 0.469-0.764% (%w/w) for
monounsaturated fatty acids, and EPA with values 0.104-0.143 (%w/w) for
polyunsaturated fatty acids. The addition of liquid smoke with a concentration of 8% has
the highest fatty acid content, producing a total value of 4.759%. The variation in liquid
smoke concentration in smoked barracuda had a significant effect (P<0.05) on cholesterol
levels, moisture content, protein, phenol, and organoleptic values of smoked fish.

Authors: Rahman Ahmad Taufiqur
Published: October 2023

Inventory control is a company policy in managing goods in order to optimize the number of orders and minimize inventory costs. The object of this research is PT XYZ in Gresik city which produces tempeh and tofu. Several raw materials are needed in the production process, one of which is soybeans. As the main raw material for making tempeh and tofu, soybeans are perishable goods. Previously, the company used a method based on past usage data in controlling its inventory, resulting in bloated inventory costs and a buildup of raw materials in the warehouse. Therefore, researchers need a method that is economical and takes into account the limitations of the company. The Lagrange EOQ method is a model that measures the order quantity by looking at one or more restrictions. The results of the Lagrange EOQ method get an order quantity of 20 sacks of soybeans with an order frequency of 27 times a year, a total inventory cost of Rp. 665,575, an ROP of 12 sacks and a safety stock of 10 sacks.

Employee Attrition in Pharmaceutical Sales: ASA Theory
Authors: Garg Amit
Published: October 2023

Work values shifted in the face of profits versus layoffs during the Covid 19 pandemic. Employees working from home were intellectually stunted without learning opportunities to stay engaged and flailing to find inspiration. Business as usual now needed the new leader to emerge in a virtual environment.
With revenue goals to meet, and increased pressure to perform with newly approved FDA medications, management was unable to engage employees leading to high levels of turnover. The result was losing talented individuals and creating an inability to market essential life extending and saving biopharmaceuticals to health care providers that treat rare diseases.
Management was faced with carrying operating costs for employees that were unable to reach customers. Yet, there was a lack of transformation in leadership to engage the customer facing employees. This led to above average attrition, creating a need for new people to be hired. Training for newly hired employees was implemented, increasing costs, and creating gaps in sales cycles. Disruption amongst teams was evident as management experienced a communication gap with front-line employees.
Post Covid 19, sales leadership must emerge out of its cocoon, and spread its four wings. Grounded in transformational leadership theory (Burns, J. 1978), idealized influence, inspirational motivation, intellectual stimulation, and individualized consideration must be adapted in a hybrid virtual world. Leader management exchange theory may be practiced but the key emphasis should be on attraction selection attrition (ASA) theory.
S-invariant Termwise Addition of Reactions Via Reaction Vector Multiples (STAR-RVM) Transformation
Authors: Magpantay Daryl
Published: October 2023

Interest in connecting Chemical Reactions Network Theory (CRNT) and evolutionary game theory (EGT) arise viewing the tools of network in the analysis of evolutionary games. Here, the evolution of population species is studied as a biological phenomenon and describing the rate of such changes through a replicator system becomes a focus. A set of polynomial kinetics (POK) may then be introduced for the realization of this replicator system and this is based on the polynomial payoff functions defined in the game. These polynomial kinetics result in polynomial dynamical systems of ordinary differential equations, which are used in analyzing strategies that prove beneficial under certain conditions. From the CRNT point of view, it now becomes interesting to study a superset of POK, which we call poly-PL kinetics (PYK). This set is formed by getting nonnegative linear combinations of power law functions. Thus, PYK contains the set PLK of power law kinetics as mono-PL kinetics with coefficient 1. Seeing this connection between CRNT and EGT and what are known about power law kinetics, we take an interest in studying PYK systems. This paper aims to analyze different ways of transforming PYK to PLK in order to explore some approaches for CRNT analysis of PYK systems. Specifically, we study a network structure-oriented transformations using the S-invariant term-wise addition of reactions (STAR) Via Reaction Vector Multiples (RVM) that transform PYK to PLK systems.

Análisis histórico-dendrológico de la cubierta arbórea del Bosque de Chapultepec (1ª sección): 1ª parte
Authors: Benavides Meza Héctor M.
Published: October 2023

El Bosque de Chapultepec es el componente principal del bosque urbano de la Ciudad de México y ha sido de gran trascendencia para la misma por más de siete siglos, ya que suministró agua potable a los habitantes de la ciudad desde la época prehispánica, y sirvió como sitio de recreación y descanso para los tlatoanis mexicas. Después de la Conquista Española, el bosque fue declarado, en 1530, propiedad de la Ciudad de México y abierto a sus habitantes para su recreación en 1550; lo cual continuó en el México independiente. En la actualidad, al estar el bosque ubicado en el área metropolitana más extensa y poblada del país (7 866 km2 de superficie y 22 millones de personas), su valor ambiental y social se acrecienta debido a los variados servicios ecosistémicos que genera para sus residentes. Es paradójico que no obstante la trascendencia del bosque durante tantos siglos, sea escasa la documentación sobre las características de su arbolado, particularmente en las etapas iniciales, y que nunca se había realizado una recopilación y revisión analítica del mismo, con el fin de entender los cambios que se dieron en función de la variación de las condiciones ambientales que se presentaron en Chapultepec y en la cuenca del Valle de México. Esta contribución recopila la información consignada desde la época Prehispánica, y de manera cronológica se llega hasta el fin del siglo XIX; se comentan las especies que se establecieron y las condiciones del bosque y de la cuenca.

Sowing Time: A factor in increasing linseed yield in Madhya Pradesh
Authors:   Tamil Nadu Agricultural University Coimbatore  641 003, J.G BHATT
Published: October 2023

Richharia (1950) in his efforts to produce good linseed fibre, indirectly found that the crop sown in the latter half of September gave more grain yield than the crop sown in August or the first fortnight of September at Powarkheda. There were no significant differences in grain yield of the crop sown on 19th September and 4th October. Sowings later than 4th October were not attempted. Richharia (loc. cit) conducted similar experiments at Sabour and the end of September was considered the best time for the production of maximum straw and grain yield. Culbertson (1952), reported varietal differences with respect to the time of sowing as one variety was found to respond better with early sowing and the other with late sowing. Dastur and Bhatt, in their investigations on the growth of the linseed crop at Indore, found the first fortnight of October the optimum period to sow linseed for obtaining high yield and oil content. In view of the results obtained at Indore, field experiments to determine the optimum period for linseed were carried out at the experimental farms in several linseed growing regions of Madhya Pradesh where the crop is cultivated under rainfed conditions.

Periamanjal Cholam is the most popular dryland variety of the Coimbatore district occupying an area of about 3 lakhs of acres. It is grown both for its grain and fodder. Cholam Co. 1 is the standard strain of this variety. The grains are yellow in colour and the sheath colour of the stalks is blackish purple. In spite of the excellent quality of fodder the ryots are averse to the black colour of the sheath and they prefer red sheathed stalks... Attempts were made to evolve a Periamanjal Cholam with reddish purple sheath and juicy stalk. This paper describes the experimental synthesis of such a type.

In breeding for increasing the yield in finger millet, the breeder is faced with the problem of arriving at a suitable index to be employed in the selection following the hybridisation. Advances in genetics, plant breeding and biometry have shown that formulation of a selection index utilising Fisher's (1936) concept of discriminant function is an important measure for efficient selection of breeding material. This function shows the extent to which each of the other characters is genetically related to yield; and in addition, if such samples are soored by means of this function the sum total of the linear function gives a value highly correlated with its genotypio yield potentialities. The investigations, reported herein, were undertaken with a view to finding out the range of phenotypic and genotypic variation for six characters in ragi and finally to arrive at a discriminant function.

Hybrid sorghums are fast gaining importance as a new source of increased foodgrain productivity. Since 1957, the American farmers have taken to hybrid sorghum strains, the acreage under them being steadily on the increase. In India, projects for the development of hybrid sorghums were commenced in 1960 by the Regional Centres of the Indian Council of Agricultural Research. A few promising hybrids have since been evolved and are presently being tested in several parts of the country, including Coimbatore tract, for evaluating their utility. Encouraging results have been obtained in respect of the hybrids tried in Coimbatore tract and a note on their performance has already been published, (Shanmughasundaram et al, 1964). The time is opportune, in this context, to investigate ways and means of producing the seed of hybrid sorghums on a large scale, so that their commended potentiality for higher productivity may also be exploited on a larger scale. Preliminary studies on the production of hybrid sorghum seed were conducted at the Millet Breeding Station, Coimbatore, during the summer season of 1963. The observations are presented in this note.
Radio for scientific farming in India
Authors:   Radio Agricultural officer, Madras, A.J KNIGHT
Published: October 2023

Radio is an important medium of mass communication in extension work in giving agricultural information on weather, storms, means of combating invasions of insects or diseases etc. It has the distinct advantage of giving emergency agricultural information at the quickest time to the largest audience, even several times a day, according to necessity. It has a vital role to play in motivating farmers to take to the latest technological advances in agricultural science, especially in developing countries. It is a recognition of this fact that made the Food and Agricultural Organisation organise a seminar on Farm Broadcasting for Asia and Far Eastern Countries in January-February, 1964 in India in New Delhi, as one of the activities of the Freedom from Hunger Campaign. To get across messages selected out of the immense agricultural researches to the 360 millions of farmers of India is an arduous task of extension workers. While advanced countries like the U. S. A., Canada., Australia and Japan have forged ahead exploiting the scope of Farm Broadcasting in their countries, India has its problems to solve in this sphere. The All India Radio is doing significant service through its 30 stations by broadcasting in all languages and 48 dialects.

The value of night soil as a source of manure is well known and hence it is being widely converted into compost. This is one of the most valuable form of fertilizers as it is rich in nitrogen and all the necessary elements for plant growth. The night soil compost is a dark crumbly and inodorous material that is as valuable as cattle manure or even better. The nitrogen content of the compost ranges from 0.5-1.0 per cent. The farmers round about municipalities realise its value and there a is good demand for the compost produced. Experiments carried out in different parts of India with this form of fertilizer have shown that large increases in yields of crops are obtained by its application.
Agricultural Education and Research in Madras State
Authors:   Principal Agricultural College Madurai, A Dr. MARIAKULANDAI
Published: October 2023

Agricultural education in Madras State was started as far back as in 1876 when an agricultural school was established at Saidapet. Training facilities in improved agriculture were provided for the students so that they can carry the knowledge acquired in modern methods of farming for the benefit of the farmers in increasing production. The need for a higher type of education was realised soon enough to raise the status of the school to that of a college in the year 1878. The students were trained in (1) a diploma course of three years duration and (2) a certificate course on practical agriculture. Following the decision taken to shift the venue of the college to a more suitable place for a wide-spread educational training, the Agricultural College, Coimbatore came into existence in 1907. At present, the Agricultural College and Research Institute, Coimbatore has expanded to one of the premier institutions in India involving research work on seven major branches of agricultural science comprising of 20 different sections. This embraces research activities of both fundamental and applied aspects on crop production, extension and education.

Zea mays, is reported to remove 114 lb, N, 43 lb. P₂O, and 125 lb. K.O per crop of 35 cwt. of grain and 60 cwt. of straw. Similar to wheat, application of phosphatic fertilizers has been reported by almost all workers except Robinson (1950) and Hunter and Yungon (1955) to increase the yields of corn in India and abroad (Anon., 1949; Malavelta et al. 1953, Uangarderar, 1954; Sen and Kavitkarag, 1955; Genter et al. 1956, I. C. A. R., 1956 and Suarozda (Castro) and Rodrigues, 1958). To increase the yields further, Guttay and Steritzel (1957) tried presoaking the seeds in phosphatic solutions or mixing the seeds with phosphatic fertilizers and then sowing, and got beneficial results. Morsale (1957) tried three sprayings at 4 day intervals with 2-5-5% super with 0.4% potash and got increased yields and increased weight of grain. Scarseth (1950), Raheja et al. (1957), Robertson, et al. (1958) and Prummel (1958) reported that either placement or drilling were better than broadcasting while Baranov (1951) reported that broadcasting was as effective as row application. Robertson, et al. (1958) pointed out that deep placement of fertilizer was more effective in dry seasons than in wet seasons as the crop could make efficient use of the limited amount of available moisture in dry seasons due to extended root systems. Further, they have reported that in wet seasons or seasons with well distributed rainfall, broadcasting was more efficient and economical than placement. As rightly pointed out by them, the effect of placement of fertilizers depends on various factors like soil moisture, nature of fertilizers applied etc. Similarly, Glover (1953) and Corby (1957) advocated application of fertilizers in single dose while Baranovski (1956) and Sarishvite et al. (1956) advocated split dose application.

Sugarcane (Saccharum officinarum) cultivated in an area of 1,43,000 acres in Madras State is mainly found in the districts of North Arcot, South Arcot, Tanjavur, Thiruchirapalli, Coimbatore and Mathurai. The crop is raised under irrigation, both under wet and garden land conditions. Manurial experiments on sugarcane have been conducted during the past fifty years in Madras State, primarily in the research stations at Palur in South Arcot, at Gudiatham in North Arcot and at Central Farm in Coimbatore. However, during the past ten years, experiments were also conducted at Cuddalore, Nellikuppam, Kulithalai, Pandiyarajapuram, Vadapathimangalam and Rajathani- kottai. The tract represented by Palur is typical of a strip of sandy loamy soil whereas Gudiatham represents a little heavier soil. The Central farm, Coimbatore represents the central districts and has two different soils viz., black and red soils.
Profile Characteristics of Certain Nilgiri Soils
Authors:   Reader in Soil Science, Regional Post Graduate Training Centre,Coimbatore 3, D JOHN DURAIRAJ
Published: October 2023

Twenty soil profiles in the Nilgiris representing various elevations and rainfall intensities were studied and profile characteristics observed. Most of the soils were formed from charnockite. There were indications of truncation and superimposition of transported material, with the sequence of superficial horizons reversed. Vesicular laterite horizon was not found anywhere in the area. The marked variation in the soils studied within a small area was probably due to changes in composition of parent rock. The urgent need for agreeing upon morphological and chemical criteria for identifying Intorites and related soils is recognised.

As EFL learners, writing a narrative essay with proper grammatical rules and good chronological order is not easy. Although simple past tense has been introduced to students, previous studies found that the misuse of past tense remains a problem. A similar case also happened to art students at Sekolah Tinggi Kesenian Wilwatikta Surabaya. Thus, this study aimed to find out the students’ errors in using past tense in their narrative essays. It is seen as an urgent point since the literature about how art students deal with English subjects is very limited. Help is still required, and it begins by identifying their errors in writing. By employing qualitative content analysis of 30 students’ narrative essays, this study found a total of 197 errors. These errors were grouped into three categories: omission (98 errors), addition (67 errors), and misinformation (32 errors). A conclusion was drawn that the students committed grammatical errors in their narrative essays due to several factors such as L1 interference, different grammatical rules between Indonesia and English, insufficient grammatical knowledge, overgeneralization, rule restriction ignorance, and false hypothesis.

This paper delves into the critical topic of destigmatising the gambling industry by introducing social and economic protection tools for both operators and consumers. Gambling, especially in the online sphere, creates unique challenges and opportunities in the modern digital age. The purpose of this article is to highlight the principles and strategies needed to create a fair, ethical and stigma-free gambling environment. Methodology. To achieve this goal, this research takes a comprehensive approach. First, it examines the existing international consensus on recommended practices for businesses that engage in online consumer transactions, including non-monetary transactions. These practices have been condensed into six high-level principles that serve as a basis for creating policies aimed at protecting the interests of digital consumers involved in online gambling. The paper also examines these principles in the context of the gambling industry, with a particular focus on fair business practices, advertising and marketing in the sector. It also addresses issues related to online gambling, such as deceptive practices, lack of transparency and potential risks to consumer privacy and security. Results. This research provides valuable insights into the implementation of tools and measures that can effectively protect both gambling operators and consumers, as well as contribute to the destigmatisation of the industry. The six principles outlined in this paper emphasise fairness, transparency, access to information, transaction security, product safety and accessible dispute resolution mechanisms. By adhering to these principles, gambling operators can build trust among consumers and promote responsible gambling practices, which will ultimately contribute to the sustainable development of the digital gambling economy. Consumers, in turn, can confidently engage in online gambling, knowing that their rights are protected and their interests are respected. This document is therefore a valuable resource for policy makers, industry stakeholders and academics seeking to create a fair and ethical digital market in the gambling sector. By implementing the principles and tools outlined above, there is a significant step towards destigmatising gambling and ensuring a more responsible and safe environment for all stakeholders.

Indonesia has salt resources in seawater along the Java Sea coast. However, the high salt content in seawater causes difficulties for various industries that use seawater as their raw material. A Taguchi experimental design using TUF filters was carried out to determine the best TUF filter composition in producing high-quality salt. The factors considered were the compositions of three materials, namely crushed coral, charcoal, and palm fibers. The results obtained for the sample filters were analyzed using one-way ANOVA, Minitab, and the Signal-to-Noise Ratio (SNR) method. The optimal TUF filter composition was found to be 450g finely crushed coral, 350g finely crushed charcoal, and 30g palm fibers. The study results revealed that the best factor for improving salt quality was crushed coral, with a contribution of 65.63842% and an F-value of 109.3333. Charcoal also provided a significant contribution of 24.40453% with an F-value of 40.65041. However, palm fibers did not contribute significantly to improving salt quality. The optimal TUF filter composition can help improve salt quality and increase productivity while reducing costs for various industries such as food production and preservation. The optimal composition of 450g of crushed coral, 350g of charcoal, and 30g of palm fibers can significantly improve the quality of salt production. In conclusion, the use of TUF filters with the optimal composition of 450g crushed coral, 350g charcoal, and 30g palm fibers can significantly improve salt quality. This study provides insight into the potential applications of TUF filters and should encourage further exploration of the technology's potential in various industries.

Balai pengajian Babul Muta’allimin merupakan salah satu balai pendidikan agama yang terdapat di Desa Blang Awe, Kecamatan Syamtalira Bayu, Kabupaten Aceh Utara. Sekalipun sudah berkiprah lebih dari 20 tahun, balai pengajian Babul Muta’allimin sampai saat ini sama sekali tidak memiliki sarana wudhu yang memadai untuk santri. Padahal, sarana tersebut meruapakan salah satu kebutuhan utama bagi para santri yang belajar AlQurán dan sholat di balai pengajian tersebut. Kegiatan pengabdian kepada masyarakat ini bertujuan mengembangkan suatu sistem Penyedia Air Wudhu (SPAW) berbasis sumber daya lokal, yang dapat dikelola dan dirawat secara mandiri oleh mitra. Kegiatan PkM dilaksanakan dalam 3 (tiga) tahapan, meliputi: (1) Pengembangan Sistem Penyedia Air Wudhu (SPAW) untuk mitra; (2) Pembekalan pengetahuan dasar tentang operasional dan perawatan paket teknologi yang dikembangkan, serta; (3) Evaluasi keberhasilan kegiatan, menggunakan kuisioner. Setelah kegiatan PkM diselesaikan, suatu Sistem Penyedia Air Wudhu’ (SPAW) berbasis sumber daya lokal sudah tersedia untuk mitra kegiatan. Sistem tersebut mampu menyediakan air wudhu’dengan kapasitas 2,14 liter/menit pada 7 titik akses terintegrasi, dengan kualitas air yang memenuhi baku mutu air untuk keperluan hygiene sanitasi menurut Kepmenkes RI No. 32 tahun 2017. Hasil evaluasi kepuasan mitra menunjukkan bahwa mitra memberi apresiasi positif terhadap kegiatan PkM yang telah dilaksanakan.
