Published: March 2019

Effect of bitter leaves extract on bacteria isolated from soils of some mechanic and non- mechanic site in Makurdi metropolis was investigated. Forty (40) soil samples (20g each) were collected at the depth of 8-10cm from different mechanic shops in Makurdi metropolis (New garage, Kanshio and North bank) and soil from non-mechanic site. Fresh leaves of Vernonia amygdalina (bitter leaves) were purchased at Wadata market and identified at the Department of Plant Science, Federal University of Agriculture (FUAM). Serial dilution and pour plate technique was used for microbial analysis. Bacteria present were identified using cultural, morphological and biochemical techniques. Ethanol and methanol solvents were used to extract the bioactive constituents. Qualitative and quantitative phytochemical analyses were carried out on the bioactive components in the bitter leaves extracts. Susceptibility pattern of isolates were determined using Agar well diffusion assays. The genera Pseudomonas, Staphylococcus, Proteus and Escherichia were the predominant petroleum hydrocarbon degrading bacteria. Analysis from phytochemical screening showed that compounds such as alkaloids, tannins, saponins, flavanoids, terpenes, anthraquinones, reducing sugars, cardiac glycosides and phlobatannins were present. Alkaloids in the bitter leaves extract was more in quantity and quality as compared to other phytochemical components. Zones of inhibition of the plant extracts ranged between 20.00± 0.89mm - 32.78± 1.72mm for Methanol and 21.00± 2.37mm - 31.22± 2.05mm for Ethanol at 100mg/ml. The Minimum Inhibitory Concentration (MIC) of both solvents ranged between 23.83± 3.23m/l and 50.00± 0.00m/l.The MBC values ranged from 50.00± 0.00mg/l to 100.00± 0.00 mg/l. Bacteria from the control site which had no hydrocarbon products contamination were more susceptible than those from the mechanic sites. Results from findings have shown that Vernonia amygdalina (bitter leaves) has potentials to be used as an alternative source of antibacterial agents in the ever increasing menace of Multi-Drug Resistance.

Kurzfassung
In den derzeitigen Ansätzen der Fabrikplanung werden im Prozess der Layoutplanung die Einflüsse von Transportsystemen nicht berücksichtigt. Die Transportmittelauswahl sowie die Transportnetzplanung finden nachgelagert zur Layoutplanung statt. Die Betrachtung der Auswirkungen, die aus der Transportsystemauswahl auf die Gestaltung des Fabriklayouts resultieren, erfolgt somit erst zum Ende des Fabrikplanungsprozesses. Die Selektion bestimmter Transport-systeme kann demzufolge umfangreiche Anpassungen am Layout nach sich ziehen. In diesem Beitrag wird ein Konzept für ein Experten-system aufgezeigt, welches neben der Transportsystemauswahl auch die Transportnetzplanung in den Prozess der Layoutplanung einbindet. Das Expertensystem soll auf Basis von Fuzzy Logic das Expertenwissen zur Auswahl von Transportsystemen interpretieren und das spätere Fabriklayout, ebenso wie die Transportnetze, auf Grundlage von definierten Eingangsdaten automatisiert generieren.

İnsanoğlu, yaşam sürecinde karşılaştığı kimi kaosları önce anlamlandırabilmek ve
bu kaoslardan kurtulabilmek için bir düzene ihtiyaç duyar. Bu düzen ihtiyacı
belirlenen bir ya da birkaç ölçütün yardımıyla giderilir. Bilimsel zeminde kaosun bir
düzene dönüştürülmesine yönelik en temel çaba “sınıflandırma”dır. Bir araştırmaya
konu olan olgu ya da olgular önce sınıflandırılır; daha sonra diğer olgu ya da olgular
ile bir ilişkisellik (relationality) çerçevesinde irdelenir.
Müzik, bir fenomen olarak bilimsel bir çerçevede irdelenebilir. Eğer amaç bu ise,
müzikte var olan kaosu kozmosa dönüştürebilmek ve müzik fenomenini
anlamlandırabilmek için sınıflandırma vazgeçilmez bir zorunluluktur. Müzik
gerçekten karmaşık bir fenomendir. Müziksel bir sınıflandırmada müziğin tüm
bileşenlerinin ve süreçlerinin dahil edilmesi yerinde olur. Dolayısıyla müzikleri
sınıflandırırken, monolojik ve indirmeci bir yaklaşım yerine; sınıflandırmalarda çok
ölçütlülük ve ilişkisellik yer almalıdır. Bu makalede müzik sınıflandırmalarına yönelik
bu çerçevede yeni bir model önerilmektedir. Bu öneri ile temel amaç, monolojik ve

Salah satu upaya untuk memperkuat struktur bangunan gedung bertingkat tinggi adalah dengan membuat shear wall yang terhubung dan terintegrasi dengan struktur portal gedung tersebut. Shear wall merupakan salah satu komponen struktur yang berfungsi untuk menahan gaya geser akibat timbulnya gaya lateral gempa. Gaya lateral gempa yang bekerja, menyebabkan timbulnya tegangan-tegangan pada bidang shear wall. Tegangan-tegangan bidang shear wall ini berupa tegangan normal arah x (sxx), tegangan normal arah y (syy) dan tegangan geser arah xy (txy). Analisis tegangan bidang ini disebut juga Analisis Plane Stress, yaitu analisa tegangan bidang dengan perbandingan antara tebal dan lebar atau antara tebal dan tinggi adalah kecil. Jika tebal dalam arah sumbu z, maka z sangat kecil. Dalam riset ini, selain tegangan bidang shear wall yang dihasilkan dari analisis plane stress, juga diperoleh deformasi sebagai hasil dari terjadinya perpindahan akibat pengaruh gaya luar pada setiap elemen bidang. Joint displacement yang paling besar terjadi pada titik paling atas pada shear wall, yaitu sebesar 0.26 m pada titik 20 dan 21. Sedangkan pada titik paling bawah atau pada dasar tidak terjadi perpindahan, karena pada dasar shear wall, joint dikekang dengan perletakan sendi. Kemudian dari hasil perpindahan tersebut akan dihasilkan gaya dan regangan pada setiap elemen bidang shear wall.Tegangan maksimum terjadi pada elemen 1, yaitu elemen yang paling bawah dari shear wall. Besar tegangan pada elemen ini adalah sebesar sxx = 4039,579 kN/m2, syy = 20197,579 kN/m2 dan txy = 14208,841 kN/m2. Hasil tegangan bidang tersebut selanjutnya digunakan untuk perencanaan konstruksi beton bertulang shear wall.

Published: March 2019

Homestay is being developed throughout the decades making it as one of the best tourism product in Malaysia. The increasing number of homestay in Sarawak each year is challenging the communication among each other administratively. Communication among all the homestay is vital in order for the information could be reached in a timely manner. Without a proper communication media used to communicate, a lot of important information could be missed out causing some of the homestays to be left out. This research is conducted to study the communication used among the homestay operators using both quantitative and qualitative methods. Interviews are conducted with the representatives of Sarawak Homestay Operator Association (SHOA) and questionnaires are distributed to the homestay operators in gathering the information. Locations could not be changed as locations are the unique selling point of a homestay and recommendations can be addressed to have mobile communication towers within the vicinity of the homestays to improve the signals. It is revealed that communication issues could be resolved if operators are actively involved as there are a variety of apps available in the market for these operators to choose from.

Published: March 2019

Feelings of stress are a part of university students’ life. Stress is simply the body's response to changes that create taxing demands. There is a difference between eustress, which is a term for positive stress, and distress, which refers to negative stress. Coping mechanism plays a significant part to overcome or reduce the stress experienced by individuals. People use different types of coping strategies to overcome their stress. The purpose of the study was to study the relationship between stress and coping strategies among university students. Eighty- six university students participated in the study. A quantitative study utilizing a cross sectional non-probability sampling research design was used to gather data. The data was collected using a questionnaire with the addition of Perceived Stress Scale (PSS) and the Adolescent Coping Scale (ACS) were administered. The result of this study indicated that majority of the university students have moderate level of stress. There was a significant inverse relationship between stress level and coping strategies among undergraduates. In conclusion, some levels of stress can be good, as the right kind of stress encourages them towards change and growth. However, when students are unable to cope with stress, they can become a burden. It is recommended that students should be encouraged to take part in extra-curricular activities such as sports to reduce stress.

Listeria spp. and Salmonella spp. are capable of causing food-borne outbreaks and diseases in humans. This study aimed to quantify and detect the occurrence of Listeria monocytogenes and Salmonella Typhimurium in fruit juices by utilizing Most Probable Number (MPN) in combination with Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR). In this study, a total of 50 fruit juice samples, consisting of orange, papaya, watermelon, honeydew and apple were collected from Kota Samarahan and Kuching. Specific Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) assay targeting the virulence gene, hlyA gene in L. monocytogenes and fliC gene in S. Typhimurium was performed, with the expected size of 730 bp and 559 bp, respectively. MPN analysis showed that the estimated microbial loads of Listeria spp. and Salmonella spp. in all samples were more than 1100 MPN/g. However, based on the PCR analysis, none of the samples (0%) were positive for L. monocytogenes or S. Typhimurium. This study presented as a preliminary food safety screening for the occurrence of Listeria spp. and Salmonella spp. from retailed fruit juices. Hygienic practices and food safety measures should be adhered by all food vendors and restaurants in order to avoid foodborne disease outbreaks in the future.
