Antimicrobial film food packaging: incorporation of zein nanoparticles with clove essential oil: article / Abdul Hadi Mohd Faizal Din Chan
No full textFood packaging is now used for maintaining the quality, healthy and nutritious of the food at the time of consumption and provided safety over long distances of travel or inhibit the contamination of microorganisms. Recently, the food packaging that is developed is not environmental friendly and exposed from external environment that causes the shelf life of the food is reduced. The objectives of this paper are to characterize and synthesize Zein nanoparticles with clove essential oil incorporated in film and also to determine the antimicrobial activity in the prepared film food packaging. In this study, antimicrobial agent from the Zein nanoparticles with different concentration of clove essential oil (2.5,5,7.5,10 and 12.5%) was incorporated during the synthetization of film food packaging. Zein powder are used as nanoparticles and the nanocomposite films was prepared by solvent casting method. There are three analysis that was conducted in this research which are thermal behaviour that was done by using Thermogravimetric Analyzer (TGA), toxicity by using Inductively Coupled Plasma Optical Emission Spectrometry (ICP-OES) and antimicrobial activity. As for the thermal behaviour of the film, the incorporation of higher concentration of clove essential oil with Zein nanoparticles prove that it is more thermally stable than other films. As for toxicity, it was surprisingly that the result of Arsenic content exceeded the maximum amount of standard in food packaging but for the Cadmium and Plumbum are in the safety margin. Lastly, the antimicrobial activity of the film showed that all of the composite film inhibits the growth of the tested bacteria, E. coli. The inhibition of bacteria increased remarkably as the concentration of clove essential oil increased. For the control film, Zein nanoparticles consist the antimicrobial agents that can inhibit the growth of the bacteria even in small amount. Therefore, the incorporation of Zein nanoparticles with clove essential oil in the development of antimicrobial food packaging in order to extend the shelf life of food products must be developed

No full textDel 6 al 8 de noviembre de 2018, se llevó a cabo el XXIII Simposio Román Piña Chan “Zonas arqueológicas en contextos urbanos”. Durante su desarrollo se contó con un amplio programa de trabajo que incluyó 31 ponencias, cinco conferencias magistrales y nueve sesiones de carteles. Se trató de un evento en el que participaron reconocidos académicos a nivel nacional e internacional en el ámbito de la arqueología; además de que se logró debatir y aportar ideas en un mismo foro acerca de la construcción de soluciones para la problemática de las zonas arqueológicas en contextos urbanos. El acto de clausura se efectuó con la presencia de diversas autoridades del INAH en compañía de investigadores, docentes, alumnos y público en general.</p
Judicial deference at work: Some reflections on Chan Kin Sum and Kong Yun Ming
No full text"Due deference" - the giving of appropriate weight to the government's judgment in the court's reasoning - is a tool that courts use to maintain the separation of powers in constitutional rights review. This note aims to provide a theoretical framework for understanding the issue of deference, and to analyse the Court of First Instance (CFI)'s approach to deference in two recent cases, Chan Kin Sum and Kong Yun Ming. The author argues that the CFI has adopted a spatial approach that failed to specify the contested issues that called for deference, inappropriately considered democratic legitimacy as a factor for deference and made broad presumptions about the democratic character of primary decisions. This approach may lead to an over-deferential attitude that threatens the separation of powers, and the malleability of the approach may be subject to courts' manipulation. The author argues for a more context-sensitive approach based purely on institutional factors.published_or_final_versio

PERKEMBANGAN KOGNITIF TOTTO-CHAN DALAM NOVEL MADOGIWA NO TOTTO-CHAN KARYA KUROYANAGI TETSUKO: SEBUAH TINJAUAN PSIKOLOGIS
No full textThis research analyze Madogiwa no Totto-chan, a novel by Kuroyanagi
Tetsuko. This novel first published in 1981. The story is about a girl named Tottochan
who was expelled from her school because of her mischievous behavior.
After that, she was transferred to Tomoe Gakuen. There, she felt comfortable and
happy. Everything about Tomoe Gakuen is different from any other school in
Japan. That amazed Totto-chan. She enjoyed every single day of school life in
Tomoe.
This research is aimed at determine Totto-chan�s cognitive development
and the factors that influence it. Because of that, the author used Jean Piaget�s
theory of children�s psychological development to analyze a character in a novel.
This theory can help to understand Totto-chan�s intelligence development.
In conclusions, Totto-chan, the character in Madogiwa no Totto-chan, is
on a transition perio
Block-based Against Segmentation-based Texture Image Retrieval
No full textThis paper concerns the best approach to the capture of local texture features for use in content-based image retrieval (CBIR) applications. From our previous work, two approaches have been suggested, the multiscale block-based approach and the automatic texture segmentation approach. Performance comparison as well as advantages and disadvantages of the two methods are presented in this paper. The databases used are the Brodatz and VisTex databases, as well as three museum image collections of various sizes and contents, with each collection presenting different challenges to the CBIR systems. Experimental observations suggest that the two approaches both perform well, with the multiscale technique having the edge in retrieval performance and scale invariance, while the segmentation technique has the edge in lighter computational complexity as well as having the shape information for later purposes. The choice between the two approaches thus depends on application
