Preliminary Study of Biosurfactant Consortium Producing Bacteria from Palm Oil Mill Effluent (POME) in East Kalimantan
Get PDFBiosurfactants are surface active agents from living organism, especially from bacteria and fungi. Many types of biosurfactants are synthesized by a number of microbes during their growth on non-polar substrates and the majority of biosurfactants are produced by bacteria. Emulsification activity toward n-hexane, drop collapsing test as well as oil displacement test were used to determine biosurfactant producing bacteria consortium activity from palm oil mill effluent (POME). Samples were collected from waste water treatment in PTPN XIII Palm Oil Mill Factory, Paser Regency, Provincial of East Kalimantan, Indonesia. Total of six samples were screened in order to find out which consortium was producing biosurfactant. All of the samples were showing activity in the drop collapsing method, but only sample #5 and #6 were showing Emulsification activity of 50 and 14%, respectively. Moreover, sample #5 and #6 were showing oil displacement activity which have 0.37 cm and 0.26 cm in diameter, respectively.
Planning the Industrial Estate Area for Comparison Two Methods
Get PDFAnalysis cluster method is a popular science in the knowledge of partitioning data in the areas of engineering, medicine, economics and statistics are used to perform machine learning, data mining and other data grouping. This method is often used because it is very easy and able to partition data quickly on large data sets. Cluster analysis plays an important role in classifying the object, depending on the application; object can be in the form of signals, customers, patients, news, and other plants. This technique is a nonparametric technique which is very much applicable in real cases. Clustering techniques can be grouped into two major classes: partitioning the cluster (K-means) and hierarchical cluster. There are two kinds of clustering techniques are often used. The first is the K-means and the second is a hierarchical clustering. In this research uses of investment data as the primary data source will be analyzed by comparing the two algorithm methods, both of the above algorithm to find the final solution using high-level programming language. In this research result that quite the same in application data to planning the industrial estate area.
Dispensing Errors: Preventable Medication Errors by Pharmacists in Outpatient Department, A University Hospital, Bangkok, Thailand
Get PDFThe study aimed to determine the frequency and types of dispensing errors identified by pharmacists in the final checking; to explore the work flow of the medication dispensing system at the Outpatient Department (OPD) department University hospital; and to make recommendation for their prevention using system and human approach. Study design was descriptive retrospectively and setting in a University hospital. Medication error data were collected from medication error reporting program. Workflow, input, process and output observations were employed as well. Data analyzed by descriptive statistics. During 28 days of study length, it was recorded 20,775 prescriptions or 741 prescription/day. Dispensing errors reported were 348 events (1.67%). Prevalence of prescribing error, dosage error, and preparation error were 44.8%, 32.2% and 25.9% respectively. Average item per prescription 3.8 item/prescription. Potential errors can be occurred when items of drug increasing. Work flow of dispensing system in OPD University hospital already integrated with medication error reporting system. Pharmacists developed and implemented Medication Error Program as an instrument to report the medication dispensing errors routinely. Dispensing errors reported by pharmacists must be seen by the pharmacy institution-related as opportunities to identify areas for improvement. Prevalence of dispensing errors seems low but it is urgent to encourage staffs for detection and prevent more of potential harmful. Pharmacist role in building good system to encourage medication errors detection, reporting and prevention might be considered to ensure the commitment of patient safety.

Analysis of Indonesian Labor Welfare Case Study : Kedah, Malaysia
Get PDFThe aims of this research are to know how increase the Indonesian labor (TKI) welfare in Kedah, Malaysia. The targets which are reached : (1) identifying and mapping T K I location in Kedah, Malaysia, (2) socio-economy analysis and (3) identifying the T K I problems. The methods are spatial and regression method. Geography Information System (GIS) is used to map T K I location.

Potential Biogas of Fish Waste: as a Solution of Energy Crisis
Get PDFThe potential fishery of Indonesia is very large and also the waste itself. Fishery waste has not utilized yet and it's rarely used as material to produce biogas. Utilization of fishery waste is one of solutions to reduce the dependence of fossil fuel that decreasing the availability. Biogas is renewable energy and it can be produced from materials that have become waste. Wastes such as entrails, head, tail, bones and even rotten fish, are potential as bio gas material sources. Processing waste into biogas is a solution to make cheap fuel and can help to reduce environmental pollution from the organic waste.
