    The Sorbitol factory with a capacity of 70,000 tonnes/year will be established in the Kendal Industrial Estate, Jl. Saptarengga No. 2 A, Tambak, Wonorejo, Kec. Kaliwungu, Kendal Regency, Central Java 51371, Indonesia. The factory operates 24 hours a day and 330 days a year. This Sorbitol factory is made from Glucose taken from PT. Sweet Source of Hope Jaya. Sorbitol is a product that has many uses in various industrial sectors, in the pharmaceutical industry it is used as a surfactant, in the food industry it is used as a sweetener and a mixture in food, and in the cosmetic industry it is used as a humectant and thickening agent in the manufacture of cosmetics. Sorbitol in this design is obtained through a catalytic hydrogenation reaction between glucose and hydrogen gas assisted by a Raney Nickel catalyst. Glucose is stored in the glucose storage warehouse (F-111) transported to the hopper (F-113) using a bucket elevator (J-112), after coming from the hopper it is then put into the dissolution tank (M-110) using a screw conveyor (J-114) and glucose dissolved in water. The glucose solution is then pumped into the heater (E-212) to be heated and the pressure raised using a compressor (G-213) which is then flowed to the catalytic hydrogenation reactor (R-210). Hydrogen gas from the hydrogen storage tank (F-214) is flowed to expander 1 (G-215) to reduce its pressure and then is fed to the catalytic hydrogenation reactor (R-210). A solution of glucose and hydrogen gas reacts and is assisted by a Raney Nickel catalyst in a catalytic hydrogenation reactor to form sorbitol. The sorbitol formed is then pumped to expander 2 (G-312) to reduce its pressure, and to cooler 1 (E-313) to be cooled and flowed to the carbonation tank (D-310) for the decolorization process. After that, the sorbitol solution was pumped into the evaporator (V-320) to concentrate the concentration up to 70%. The 70% sorbitol solution is then pumped into cooler 2 (E-332) to be cooled and flowed to the sorbitol storage tank (F-330). The details of the pre-planned Sorbitol factory based on economic analysis are as follows; capacity : 70,000 tons/year, company form : Limited Liability Company (PT), organizational system : line and staff, number of employees : 158 people, operating system : continuous, operating time : 330 days/year; 24 hours, Fixed Capital Investment (FCI) : IDR 304,547,520,433, Working Capital Investment (WCI) : IDR 244,678,519,060, Total Production Cost (TPC) : IDR 1,133,928,869,966, Pay Back Period : 3 years 9 months, Bank loan interest : 8%, Return of Investment (before tax) : 24.77%, Return of Investment (after tax) : 18.58%, Internal Rate of Return : 12.4%, Break Even Point : 34.47 %

    Bioethanol is an alcohol made from vegetable materials through a fermentation process. Bioethanol can be used as an alternative source of vehicle fuel. The addition of bioethanol to gasoline can reduce CO and NO emissions which can cause pollution and the greenhouse effect. The carbohydrate content in breadfruit will be hydrolyzed to convert polysaccharides into monomeric sugars (glucose). The glucose resulting from the hydrolysis is then fermented using yeast Saccharomyces Cerevisiae which will convert glucose into bioethanol. Fermentation of glucose from breadfruit into bioethanol using Saccharomyces Cerevisiae begins with the preparation of raw materials, namely breadfruit. Then proceed with the hydrolysis process which consists of a liquefaction process with the addition of -amylase enzymes and a saccharification process with the addition of glucoamylase enzymes. The hydrolyzed glucose was then fermented using Saccharomyces Cerevisiae at temperatures of 25, 30, and 35°C and at 4, 5, 6, 7, and 8 days. The results of the fermentation were then tested for levels using an alcohol refractometer and a sugar refractometer. After that, the reaction kinetics can be obtained which is expressed by the Monod reaction equation. Fermentation was carried out with an initial substrate concentration of 10% at temperatures of 25, 30, and 35°C and at 4, 5, 6, 7, and 8 days the largest alcohol concentration value was 11% with a fermentation time of 4 days and at temperature of 25°C and the higher the fermentation temperature, the lower the alcohol concentration obtained. This indicates that the optimum temperature for fermentation using Saccharomyces Cerevisiae is in the range of 25-30°C. Based on the data that has been obtained, it is then plotted into a graph so that the slope value is obtained which is the M/k value so that the k value is obtained which is the reaction rate constant. The value of the reaction rate constant obtained at time intervals of 4-8 days is 0.08867-0.26851 and the value of the Monod constant is 0.2286-0.5098

    « Il Naviglio mi vuole anche di notte » : Milano nei versi di Alda Merini

    No full text
    Il contributo si concentra sulle rappresentazioni di Milano nell’opera di Alda Merini. Del tutto assente nelle prime raccolte poetiche, improntate a un lirismo astratto, la realtà ambrosiana dilaga a partire dagli anni Ottanta, quando l’autrice torna alla letteratura dopo gli anni bui dei ricoveri in ospedali psichiatrici. Il Naviglio in particolare diviene una presenza ossessiva in versi e prose. Lungi dall’offrire le rassicurazioni di un ambiente familiare e occasioni per bozzetti nostalgici, il lento, inesorabile, rettilineo scorrere del canale emblematizza un’opprimente ragion produttiva. Nel contempo, la fauna pittoresca che abita i dintorni è sottoposta a un trattamento deformante, che tramuta le lavandaie – regine del folclore locale – in sinistre erinni avvinazzate. Solo fra i lumpen è dato cogliere qualche lampo residuo di umanità. L’estraneità dell’autrice ai valori fondanti della capitale morale non potrebbe essere più esplicita.« Il Naviglio mi vuole anche di notte ». Milan in the poetry by Alda Merini · This article focuses on the way Milan is portrayed in Alda Merini’s writings. Totally missing in her first collections of poetry, which were imbued with abstract lyricism, real Milanese life starts to run wild in the Eighties when the author goes back to fiction after the dark years of psychiatric hospitalisation. It is especially the Naviglio that becomes an obsessive feature in her poems and novels. Far from providing the reassurance of a familiar place or opportunities for wistful sketches, the slow, steady, unswerving flow of the canal symbolises an oppressive productivepurpose. Meanwhile, the quirky crowd that lives in the surroundings is exposed to a distorting treatment that turns the laundresses – the queens of local folklore – into grim drunken Furies. Only amidst the lumpen can any remnant of human dignity be glimpsed. The author’s separation from the fundamental values of the ‘moral capital’ could not be more unequivocal

    Alda Lodi is acknowledged for the significant role she played in the field of mathematics education in the state of Minas Gerais in Brazil. After two years studying Methodology of Arithmetic at Teachers College, Columbia University (NY), Lodi became responsible for teaching that discipline at Escola de Aperfeiçoamento de Belo Horizonte - EA (Belo Horizonte Teacher Training School, in free translation). She is the author of two primary school programs on Arithmetic and Geometry published by the Minas Gerais Department of Education. Our research focuses on the elements which characterize her as an education expert.This article aims to explore the Arithmetic and Geometry program published in 1953 by highlighting Lodi’s recommendations and connecting it to the former Program, published in 1941, which was also written by her. The comparison between both programs considers three aspects: the incorporation of Escola de Aperfeiçoamento de Belo Horizonte into Instituto de Educação de Minas Gerais - IEMG (Minas Gerais Institute of Education, in free translation); the political context of both periods; and the discussion Alda Lodi fostered as a Methodology of Arithmetic teacher at that time. Therefore, our work intends to connect the school programs recommendations to the mathematical knowledge taught by Lodi in her teaching practice. Finally, we argue that the considerations around Arithmetic teaching in those programs are linked to Lodi’s work at EA and IEMG. This article intends to explore the Arithmetic and Geometry program published in 1953, highlighting Lodi’s recommendations. It connects this document to the former Program, published in 1941, which was also written by Alda Lodi.

Autora de dos programas de Aritmética y Geometría dirigidos a la educación primaria y publicados por el Departamento de Educación de Minas Gerais, nuestra investigación se ha dedicado a investigar los elementos que la caracterizan como expert en educación. Este artículo explora las prescripciones del Programa de Aritmética y Geometría escrito por Alda Lodi y publicado en 1953. Vincula este documento al programa experimental publicado en 1941 por la misma secretaría, cuya sección de Aritmética y Geometría también fue escrita por Lodi. La comparación entre los dos programas toma en cuenta tres factores: la incorporación de la Escuela de Perfeccionamiento al Instituto de Educación de Minas Gerais (IEMG) en 1946; los cambios contextuales del período; y las discusiones que Lodi desarrolló como profesora de Metodología Aritmética durante este período. Así, este trabajo busca relacionar los conocimientos de la matemática enseñada por Lodi en los cursos de formación del profesorado con las prescripciones curriculares presentes en estos programas de enseñanza. Finalmente, concluye que las reflexiones sobre la enseñanza de la Aritmética presentes en los programas analizados están vinculadas al trabajo docente de Lodi en EA y IEMG.Formada pela Escola Normal Modelo de Belo Horizonte, Alda Lodi é reconhecida pelo papel significativo que desempenhou no campo do ensino de matemática em Minas Gerais.

    Alda Merini: stigma and the struggle for authority as a woman writer

    Full text link
    In her unpublished letters, author Alda Merini reflects on the limitations of being both a woman poet and a former psychiatric patient in a society dominated by misogyny and discrimination. In this chapter, I will analyze Merini’s later writings, and in particular her letters, to explore the challenges that she faced as a woman writer in twentieth-century Italy. I will focus on Merini’s (re)construction of her authorial self after nearly 20 years of poetic silence, and on her relationship with her literary editors and mentors, Maria Corti and Giacinto Spagnoletti—relationships in which she struggled to assert her authority. I will ultimately argue that Merini used her writing as a tool to negotiate her agency in both the publishing industry and society
