ANALISIS PENGGUNAAN JENIS KEMASAN PLASTIK TERHADAP KARAKTERISTIK MUTU GIPANG SELAMA PENYIMPANAN
Get PDFKemasan plastik merupakan salah satu kemasan yang paling banyak digunakan untuk mempertahankan mutu pangan karena sifatnya yang ringan dan mudah dibentuk. Akan tetapi, masing-masing jenis kemasan plastik memiliki nilai ketahanan uap air yang berbeda. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menguji ketahanan uap air kemasan High Density Polyethylene (HDPE) dan polipropilen (PP) sebagai bahan kemasan produk gipang. Penelitian ini dilakukan dengan 2 faktor. Faktor pertama yaitu jenis kemasan plastik dengan taraf P1: Gipang yang dikemas dengan plastik PP, dan P2: Gipang yang dikemas dengan plastik HDPE. Faktor kedua adalah lama penyimpanan dengan level H0: hari ke-0, H3: hari ke-3, H6: hari ke-6, H8: hari ke-8, dan H10: hari ke-10. Parameter yang diamati meliputi permeabilitas kemasan, bobot sampel, dan karakteristik organoleptik sampel. Berdasarkan pengujian kemasan PP memiliki nilai permeabilitas uap air yang lebih rendah dibanding kemasan HDPE. Hasil ini didukung dengan perubahan bobot sampel, dimana peningkatan bobot sampel gipang dengan kemasan PP cenderung berjalan lebih lambat dibandingkan dengan kemasan HDPE (p > 0.05). Semakin lama penyimpanan, produk gipang mengalami perubahan mutu terutama teksturnya akibat adanya penyerapan air. Skor tingkat kesukaan panelis terhadap produk gipang kemasan PP lebih tinggi sampai hari ke-10 pengamatan dibandingkan dengan kemasan HDPE (p < 0.05). Hasil ini menunjukkan gipang lebih cocok dikemas menggunakan kemasan PP untuk mempertahankan mutunya

Preparation of Clay Minerals – Natural Surfactant Composites to Remove Organic Dyes and Heavy Metals
Get PDFThe rapid development of industry is considered to be the main cause of various environmental problems, which are mainly caused by the discharge of wastewater which contains many hazardous compounds. Dyes and heavy metals are type of hazardous substances that are often found in industrial wastewater and cause ecosystem damage. Dyes and heavy metals are more difficult to remove due to their inability to be broken down, so they can build up and reach dangerous levels. Adsorption is a straighforward and efficient method for dealing with hazardous substance contamination in water. Clay minerals, known for their efficient adsorption properties, were chosen for this procedure. Clay minerals are porous materials so they are suitable for use as adsorbents. The intercalation technique is a robust strategy to further increase the adsorption capacity of clay minerals, which is done by treating clay minerals with surfactants. Clay minerals modified with natural surfactants are considered as a potential choice for removal procedures. The use of this natural surfactant was chosen because of its excellent adsorption capacity and environmentally friendly properties. Polar lipids, natural surfactants, are commonly present in the lipid layers of plants and animals. This review focuses on the synthesis of modified clay minerals using different natural surfactants such as soybeans, saponins, lipopeptides, and rhamnolipids, as well as the use of alternative clay mineral/natural surfactant composites. This review describe various types of natural surfactants that can be used to modify clay minerals and their application in the adsorption process

Melukis Kembali Penggambaran Citra Gender dalam Media Massa
Get PDFIn Netflix’s 'Ice Cold,' which delves into the murder of Jessica by Mirna, she is often praised and forgiven for her beauty. The documentary even states that the killer is a handsome figure. Women seem to be forced to conform to the image of modern women, who should hold feminist paradigms. Digital television content, as one of the mass media platforms, often portrays women as limited to the role of 'subordinates.' The existence of women is frequently reduced solely to their physical dimensions. It is as if advertisements and television programs would feel empty without the presence of women celebrated as objects. This perspective eventually becomes ingrained in the minds of modern women, largely through the influence of mass media, while commercial demands and the race for the highest ratings are the primary reasons why women continue to be used as complementary objects in various media content.This research employs Roland Barthes' Semiotics to explore how religious education, the male gaze, mass media, and societal views interact in shaping the contemporary perception of the female body. Ironically, the excessive use of patriarchal media has made women feel more liberated to express themselves and actualize their potential in various aspects of life. In this context, elements of religious education play a crucial role, as some Abrahamic religious teachings promote gender hierarchies that can influence society's perception of women and result in gender inequality. The concept of the male gaze is also relevant in this analysis, as it refers to how the male perspective dominates the understanding and representation of women in media, often reducing women to objects of male sexual desire. This research can offer valuable insights into the interconnection of these perspectives and women's potential for increased self-expression within patriarchal-dominated environments.ABSTRAKPada film dokumenter 'Ice Cold' di Netflix yang mengulik tentang pembunuhan Jessica oleh Mirna, ia kerap dipuji dan dimaafkan karena parasnya. Dokumenternya pun menyebutkan bahwa sang pembunuh adalah sosok rupawan. Di luar itu, televisi digital sebagai salah satu medium media massa seringkali menggambarkan perempuan sebagai objek yang terbatas dalam peran 'bawahan'. Eksistensi perempuan sering direduksi hanya pada dimensi fisik mereka. Seakan iklan dan tayangan televisi akan terasa hampa tanpa kehadiran perempuan sebagai objek yang dirayakan. Perempuan seolah-olah dipaksa untuk memenuhi citra perempuan modern yang seharusnya memegang paradigma feminis. Pandangan ini akhirnya tertanam dalam pikiran perempuan modern, sebagian besar melalui pengaruh media massa, sementara tuntutan komersialisme dan perlombaan untuk mendapatkan rating tertinggi menjadi alasan utama mengapa perempuan terus dijadikan objek pelengkap dalam berbagai konten media. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode penelitian Semiotika Roland Barthes, menggunakan denotasi, konotasi, serta mitos untuk memahami interaksi kompleks antara unsur didikan agama, ‘male gaze’, dan pengaruh media massa serta dampaknya terhadap persepsi tubuh perempuan dalam masyarakat modern. Ironisnya, penggunaan berlebihan oleh media patriarki telah membuat perempuan merasa lebih bebas untuk mengekspresikan diri dan mengaktualisasikan potensi mereka di berbagai aspek kehidupan. Dalam konteks ini, unsur didikan agama memainkan peran penting, karena beberapa ajaran agama Abrahamik mengajarkan hierarki gender, yang dapat memengaruhi persepsi masyarakat terhadap perempuan dan menimbulkan ketidaksetaraan gender. Konsep ‘male gaze’ juga relevan dalam analisis ini, karena mengacu pada cara pandangan laki-laki mendominasi pemahaman dan representasi perempuan dalam media, sering kali mengurangi perempuan menjadi objek hasrat seksual laki-laki. Temuan dalam penelitian ini dapat memberikan wawasan yang lebih dalam tentang bagaimana pandangan-pandangan ini berkaitan dan bagaimana perempuan dapat lebih leluasa mengekspresikan diri dalam lingkungan yang seringkali didominasi oleh norma-norma patriarki
Olaparib As Therapy For Metastatic-Castration Resistant Prostate Cancer : Systematic Review And Meta Analysis
No full textProstate cancer is the second most prevalent cancer in men with approximately 1.4 million men worldwide. The main therapy for prostate cancer is androgen deprivation therapy (ADT), but patients who have received ADT may experience a condition of castration resistant prostate cancer (CRPC). More than 84% of patients have metastasized when diagnosed with CRPC (mCRPC) and median survival about 36 months. The Food & Drugs Association (FDA) has approved a new therapy for mCRPC patients, an example is olaparib. The purpose of this systematic review and meta analysis is to assess effectiveness (overall survival) and safety of olaparib in mCRPC. This research is using randomized control trial’s (RCT) article. The literature search process was carried out using the PubMed database. The quality of inclusion was assessed using the Critical Appraisal Skill Program (CASP) checklist and journal reputation. The results of the meta-analysis on the effectiveness of olaparib has showed that there was no significant difference in the patient's overall survival rate (RR=0. 81; 95% CI=0.58-1.13). The results of the meta analysis on the safety level of olaparib has showed a significant difference, seen from the side effects such as anemia (RR=3.47; 95% CI=2.59-4.65), nausea (RR=2.05; 95% CI=1.62-2.60) and fatigue (RR=1.32; 95% CI=1.10-1.59). The conclusion is olaparib as mCRPC therapy does not show significant effectiveness in improving overall survival in mCRPC. In addition, the low safety level of olaparib in mCRPC patients were seen from side effects such as anemia, nausea and fatigu
Evaluation of Virgin Coconut Oil (VCO) Soap Formulation on The Growth Inhibitory Test of Staphylococcus Aureus
No full textSoap is a product of the saponification reaction consisting of bases and fatty acids, which functions to clean, remove dirt and reduce bacteria on the skin. Virgin coconut oil (VCO) is pure coconut oil which contains lauric acid with antibacterial activity, another function of VCO is also useful in moisturizing the skin. Staphylococcus aureus bacteria are normal flora on the surface of the skin, which can also cause health problems if their numbers and presence are not controlled. The aim of this research was to evaluate soap formulation containing VCO which has antibacterial activity. The research was carried out experimentally with descriptive-quantitative data analysis. The results of this experiment after soap has been storage during 7 days was a solid form of soap, green in color with an apple aroma. The water content value after 7 days of storage according to SNI requirements, that is ≤ 15%. The pH value of soap during storage showed a significant difference based on the Wilcoxon Test with a sig value of 0.042 (<0.05). The antibacterial activity of VCO soap has been confirmed by comparing the inhibition zone of the sample and the positive control of commercial antibacterial soap which was formed after incubation at 370C for 24 hours. The activity of the inhibition zone of Staphylococcus aureus bacteria from samples during 7 days of storage had a significant difference based on the Wilcoxon Test with a sig value of 0.028 (<0.05). Based on research, it has been found that the soap formula contains VCO with antibacterial activity against Staphylococcus aureus
