Ikan segar merupakan salah satu bahan pangan yang mempunyai sifat mudah rusak sehingga tidak dapat di simpan lama. Oleh karena itu, perlu dilakukan pengawetan untuk memperpanjang umur simpan ikan layang segar (Decapterus ruselli). Jeruk nipis (Citrus aurantifolia) dapat digunakan sebagai pengawet alami sebab diketahui memiliki aktivitas antimikroba yang dapat menghambat pertumbuhan dan kecepatan reaksi biokimiawi ikan. Tujuan penelitian ini adalah mengetahui potensi perasan jeruk nipis (Citrus aurantifolia) sebagai pengawet alami pada daging ikan layang segar dengan menggunakan metode total plate count (TPC). Metode yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini adalah metode total plate count dimana ikan layang segar (Decapterus ruselli). Yang direndam dengan perasan jeruk nipis (Citrus aurantifolia) dengan konsentrasi 12.5%, 25%, 50% dan air sebagai kontrol. Perendaman ikan layang segar (Decapterus ruselli) dilakukan selama 6 jam, kemudian dihitung jumlah koloni bakteri yang tumbuh setelah diinkubasi selama 24 jam. Hasil penelitian ini menunjukkan yakni pada konsentrasi 12.5% mendapatkan jumlah mikroba adalah 19x102 koloni/g, konsentrasi 25% mendapatkan jumlah mikroba 12x102 koloni/g dan untuk konsentrasi 50% mendapatkan jumlah mikroba 97x101 koloni/g serta untuk kontrol air didapatkan hasil terlalu banyak untuk dihitung (TBUD), penggunaan perasan buah jeruk nipis (Citrus aurantifolia) pada ikan layang segar mampu menekan pertumbuhan mikroba sehingga aktivitas mikroba dalam pembusukan ikan layang segar dapat dihambat. Semakin tinggi konsentrasi perasan buah jeruk nipis (Citrus aurantifolia) maka semakin besar pula potensinya sebagai pengawet alami pada ikan layang segar (Decapterus ruselli).

Published: November 2023

The study designed and developed a finite state machine generator which converts a regular expression to its equivalent non-deterministic finite automaton with -moves ( − NF A). It implements Thompson’s construction algorithm, an algorithm that works recursively by splitting an expression into its constituent subexpressions, from which the − NF A will be constructed by a set of rules. The system accepts a valid regular expression and rejects an invalid one. The regular expression is then parsed and evaluated by a parse tree to be converted to its equivalent states. The states is then connected and generated as a whole to show the finite state machine. The finite state machine generator was implemented using the Java programming language with the JavaFX package to produce better quality and easy to use graphical interface. An online acceptability survey obtained a 3.96 (exceeded beyond expectation) acceptability rating.

Published: November 2023

AbstractSynthesis of benzoxazoles via amide formation from amino phenols and α‐diazoesters using dicobalt octacarbonyl as a solid CO source is reported. Our methodology provides a strategy for synthesizing substituted benzoxazoles with methylene linker between the benzoxazole and aromatic ring systems. Substrates with different substituents were employed to produce corresponding benzoxazoles. The synthesized compounds were characterized by using standard spectroscopic and analytical techniques including single crystal XRD studies.

Published: November 2023

AbstractDown syndrome (DS) is one of the most common chromosomal conditions that results in intellectual disability. Children with DS have many different inflammatory and noninflammatory conditions that can affect joint mobility leading to arthralgia and altered joint range of motion (ROM), and it is important to have normal reference values for comparison to determine the degree of impairment. The objective of this study was to establish normative joint ROM values, using a standardized measurement approach, for upper and lower joints of healthy children of both genders with DS. This study evaluated joint ROM in healthy males and females with DS who had no previous musculoskeletal pathology. Younger males have more ROM than females at the same age and both genders lose ROM with age but continue to have increased ROM in the ankles compared to children without DS. This study establishes optimal estimates of joint ROM in children with DS, and this information should be helpful to clinicians when assessment requires evaluation of joint ROM to know if evaluation falls within the normal ROM. This reference should be helpful to track joint disease progression over time or as part of a musculoskeletal screen for abnormal joint ROM in children with DS.
Context matters—different entrepreneurial approaches among street‐level bureaucrats enhancing digital inclusion
Authors: Wihlborg Elin , Iacobaeus Helena 
Published: November 2023

AbstractDigital technology is frequently used in the delivery of public services. Since not everyone has the skills or digital access required to use such digital services, street‐level bureaucrats must find new ways to support citizens to be able to enhance digital inclusion. In most public settings, these new practices of digital support need to be developed in parallel with the street‐level bureaucrats' ordinary assignments. This article analyses the development of street‐level bureaucrats' entrepreneurial and innovative practices in promoting digital inclusion in two spheres: conventional welfare service provision and in a project‐based welfare service provision initiative explicitly intended to enhance digital inclusion. The article builds on qualitative case studies in municipalities in Sweden and demonstrates that there are more openings for innovative, entrepreneurial solutions among street‐level bureaucrats in the more project‐based setting than in the conventional welfare services. This implies that context matters for street‐level entrepreneurial approaches.

Published: November 2023

ObjectiveTo evaluate and compare choroidal thickness (CT) between patients with Meniere's disease (MD) and a control group.MethodsThis case–control analytical study was conducted on 37 subjects with MD and 37 healthy subjects. Subfoveal CT (SCT), large choroidal vessel (LCV) layer thickness, and mean subfoveal LCV thickness/mean SCT ratio were measured using enhanced‐depth imaging optical coherence tomography (EDI‐OCT) in the eyes on the MD side (ipsilateral), the contralateral eyes, and the control group.ResultsA statistically significant difference was observed in the mean SCT values between the ipsilateral and control groups after adjustment for age, sex, and migraine (p = 0.04). Moreover, there was a statistically significant difference between the mean subfoveal LCV thickness values and the mean subfoveal LCV thickness/mean SCT ratio between the ipsilateral and control groups (p = 0.006, and p < 0.001, respectively). Patients with a duration of disease over three years had a greater mean subfoveal LCV thickness/mean SCT ratio (67.35 ± 11.56 and 60.66 ± 11.27, respectively), which was statistically insignificant (p = 0.08).ConclusionWe found a thicker choroid and Haller layer, and a greater subfoveal LCV thickness/SCT ratio on the MD side compared to the controls. Furthermore, patients with a greater duration of disease had a lower subfoveal LCV thickness/SCT ratio. These findings may reflect the role of the trigeminal vascular system (TVS) and neurovascular pathophysiology in MD patients. More extensive studies are required to reach more definitive conclusions about the association between CT and MD.Level of Evidence4 Laryngoscope, 134:1889–1893, 2024
Modeling thermal conductivity of polymer/carbon fiber composites prepared by SCFNA method

Published: November 2023

AbstractThe spatial confining forced network assembly (SCFNA) has proven to be a promising method for greatly improving the thermal conductivity (TC) of polymer composites via transforming self‐assembled networks into force‐assembled networks in polymer matrices. Most of the models currently in use were derived to predict the TC of polymer composites with self‐assembled networks; however, these are not suitable for predicting the TC of polymer composites with force‐assembled networks. To address this issue, a TC prediction model for polymer/carbon fiber (CF) composites obtained using the SCFNA method was developed. First, a literature TC prediction model, built by abstracting a representative volume element (RVE) from a CF self‐assembled network, was utilized to determine the key parameters related to the CF distance. Thereafter, a modified RVE model was constructed based on the morphological characteristics of the force‐assembled network of CFs. In conjunction with the thermal resistance method, the TC values of the polymer composites were calculated and successfully validated using experimental data obtained by the SCFNA method. In this model, the compression ratio (ε) and a fitting coefficient f were applied to describe the relationship between self‐assembled and force‐assembled networks, and furthermore, the actual filler content in the force‐assembled network was calculated. It was found that as the ε value and filler content increased, f accordingly decreased; however, the calculated actual filler volume content in the force‐assembled network increased. These results possibly reflect the evolution of the CF microstructure obtained by the SCFNA method.Highlights
Filler gaps in self‐assembled networks were studied using a literature model.
The relationship between self‐assembled and force‐assembled networks was established.
A thermal conductivity model of the force‐assembled network was established.
The actual filler volume content in the force‐assembled network was calculated.
Intracerebral Transplantation of Autologous Mesenchymal Stem Cells Improves Functional Recovery in a Rat Model of Chronic Ischemic Stroke

Published: November 2023

AbstractWhile treatments exist for the acute phase of stroke, there are limited options for patients with chronic infarcts and long-term disability. Allogenic mesenchymal stem cells (alloMSCs) show promise for the treatment of stroke soon after ischemic injury. There is, however, no information on the use of autologous MSCs (autoMSCs), delivered intracerebrally in rats with a chronic infarct. In this study, rats underwent middle cerebral artery occlusion (MCAO) to induce stroke followed by bone marrow aspiration and MSC expansion in a closed bioreactor. Four weeks later, brain MRI was obtained and autoMSCs (1 × 106, 2.5 × 106 or 5 × 106; n = 6 each) were stereotactically injected into the peri-infarct and compared to controls (MCAO only; MCAO + PBS; n = 6–9). Behavior was assessed using the modified neurological severity score (mNSS). For comparison, an additional cohort of MCAO rats were implanted with 2.5 × 106 alloMSCs generated from a healthy rat. All doses of autoMSCs produced significant improvement (54–70%) in sensorimotor function 60 days later. In contrast, alloMSCs improved only 31.7%, similar to that in PBS controls 30%. Quantum dot–labeled auto/alloMSCs were found exclusively at the implantation site throughout the post-transplantation period with no tumor formation on MRI or Ki67 staining of engrafted MSCs. Small differences in stroke volume and no differences in corpus callosum width were observed after MSC treatment. Stroke-induced glial reactivity in the peri-infarct was long-lasting and unabated by auto/alloMSC transplantation. These studies suggest that intracerebral transplantation of autoMSCs as compared to alloMSCs may be a promising treatment in chronic stroke.
Anomalous Dissipation and Lack of Selection in the Obukhov–Corrsin Theory of Scalar Turbulence
Authors: Colombo Maria , Crippa Gianluca , Sorella Massimo 
Published: November 2023

AbstractThe Obukhov–Corrsin theory of scalar turbulence [21, 54] advances quantitative predictions on passive-scalar advection in a turbulent regime and can be regarded as the analogue for passive scalars of Kolmogorov’s K41 theory of fully developed turbulence [47]. The scaling analysis of Obukhov and Corrsin from 1949 to 1951 identifies a critical regularity threshold for the advection-diffusion equation and predicts anomalous dissipation in the limit of vanishing diffusivity in the supercritical regime. In this paper we provide a fully rigorous mathematical validation of this prediction by constructing a velocity field and an initial datum such that the unique bounded solution of the advection-diffusion equation is bounded uniformly-in-diffusivity within any fixed supercritical Obukhov-Corrsin regularity regime while also exhibiting anomalous dissipation. Our approach relies on a fine quantitative analysis of the interaction between the spatial scale of the solution and the scale of the Brownian motion which represents diffusion in a stochastic Lagrangian setting. This provides a direct Lagrangian approach to anomalous dissipation which is fundamental in order to get detailed insight on the behavior of the solution. Exploiting further this approach, we also show that for a velocity field in $$C^\alpha $$

C

of space and time (for an arbitrary $$0 \le \alpha < 1$$

) neither vanishing diffusivity nor regularization by convolution provide a selection criterion for bounded solutions of the advection equation. This is motivated by the fundamental open problem of the selection of solutions of the Euler equations as vanishing-viscosity limit of solutions of the Navier-Stokes equations and provides a complete negative answer in the case of passive advection.
Effect of load level on cracking of L-shaped soda-lime glass specimens
Authors: Rudshaug Jonas , Hopperstad Odd Sture , Børvik Tore 
Published: November 2023

AbstractSoda-lime glass is a brittle and transparent material that is known for its rapid and sudden fracture behavior. Since the use of soda-lime glass in protective structures is increasing, a more comprehensive understanding of this challenging fracture behavior is needed. The aim of this work is to investigate how the load level affects the crack propagation and to generate an experimental database for L-shaped soda-lime glass specimens with curved crack paths. We designed a repeatable testing procedure which reveals the crack propagation behavior of the specimen and allows for extraction of valuable experimental data. A total of 20 experiments were conducted on L-shaped soda-lime glass specimens subjected to a controlled displacement. High-speed cameras were used to monitor the crack propagation and the high-speed footage was post-processed using an in-house procedure to extract the crack path and speed data. We found a positive correlation between the measured initial crack speed and the load level at fracture. The crack propagation path followed four distinct stages and was also affected by the load level at fracture. With this experimental database, we have provided important insight into how the load level affects the crack propagation in soda-lime glass.
