Penerapan Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Points (Haccp) Produk Sashimi Di Restoran Tomoto Surabaya
No full textRestoran Jepang yang menjual produk makanan mentah (Sashimi) sangat rentan terhadap terjadinya keracunan makanan. Hal ini dikarenakan Sashimi merupakan produk makanan yang dikonsumsi tanpa melalui proses pemasakan. Oleh sebab itu proses pembuatannya perlu memperhatikan HACCP yang mengatur jaminan kemananan yang dikonsumsi konsumen mulai dari tahap penerimaan, penyimpanan, persiapan, dan pengolahan. Namun tidak semua penyedia jasa makanan dan minuman memiliki dan menerapkan HACCP sesuai dengan ketentuan yang ada. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengamati penerapan HACCP pada produk Sashimi dan memberi solusi mengenai hambatan-hambatan yang ditemukan dalam penerapannya. Penulis menggunakan analisa kualitatif deskriptif untuk mendapatkan data hasil observasi penerapan HACCP dan wawancara yang mendalam. Penerapan HACCP pada produk sashimi di Restoran Tomoto kurang maksimal

Search for supersymmetry with a compressed mass spectrum in events involving soft leptons, jets and missing transverse momentum with an integrated luminosity of 20.1 pb^{-1} of sqrt(s) = 8 TeV ATLAS data
No full textSupersymmetric scenarios characterised by a compressed sparticle spectrum represent an experimental challenge as they could be missed in inclusive searches. This poster describes a dedicated search for models of this kind in final states with a soft-lepton, jets and missing transverse momentum using an integrated luminosity of 20.1 fb^{-1} at sqrt(s) = 8 TeV with the ATLAS detector
Damage to cement concrete pavements due to exposure to organic compounds in a cold region
No full textPop-out and disaggregation of aggregate in a 1-year old cement concrete pavement originally mixed with air-entraining (AE) water-reducing agent was observed after the pavement had been exposed to ethylene glycol based snow-melting agent on the surface in the winter. The study used: gas chromatography–mass spectrometry (GC–MS) tests, 1H Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) tests, X-ray fluorescence analysis, emission spectral analysis (ICP), elution tests in anion type surfactant solution conducted for mortar and aggregate taken from the cement concrete where pop-out had occurred, as well as samples made by cement paste in the laboratory. Tests of the tensile strength, thermal-stress, and three-dimensional crack analysis by micro-focus computerized tomography (CT) scanner were conducted for specimens (2.5 2.5 10 cm) taken from the cement concrete where pop-out had occurred and with cement concrete samples made in the laboratory. Microscope observations and Electron Probe Micro Analyzer (EPMA) analysis were conducted for thin samples (2.5 2.5 cm and 20 lm thick) taken from the cement concrete where pop-out had occurred. The tests results showed that organic compounds contained in the cement reacted with the cement during the hardening process, generating cracks and gel in the cement paste. It was established that these caused the pop-out of the aggregate, together with the effects of the ethylene glycol based snow-melting agent that the cement concrete had been exposed to. No pop-out or disaggregation of aggregate were found in cement concrete at a repaired section, at the same location, with aggregate of low absorbing water ratio in this cold region and in place for 2 years
Identification of the sources of organic compounds that decalcify cement concrete and generate alcohols and ammonia gases
No full textIn this study, the emission sources of various types of airborne organic matter, which deteriorates cement concrete by penetrating into it together with moisture, were identified using high-performance liquid chromatography and gas chromatograph mass spectrometer. As a result, it was revealed that the types of organic matter contained in decalcified cement concrete were almost the same as those found in total suspended matter in the air, and that they were primarily being emitted as particles of exhaust from diesel vehicles and radial tires used in summer. Such organic matter includes substances suspected as having endocrine disrupting properties. Hydrolysis occurs when these substances penetrate into a highly alkaline cement concrete, and leads to deterioration of cement concrete and the release of particular kinds of alcohols and ammonia gases, which pollute indoor air and can cause sick building syndrome.Technical Not
Effects of Aerobic Exercise Training on Carotid Arterial Stiffness and Brain Health in Traumatic Brain Injury
No full textThe general metadata -- e.g., title, author, abstract, subject headings, etc. -- is publicly available, but access to the submitted files is restricted to UT Southwestern campus access and/or authorized UT Southwestern users.BACKGROUND: Vascular dysfunction and hypoperfusion in the brain are common after traumatic brain injury (TBI). The brain is perfused by elastic central arteries that decrease in compliance with age, leading to decreased ability to dampen hemodynamic pulsatility and decreased continuous blood flow in cerebral vasculature. Aerobic exercise improves cardiorespiratory fitness, health status, quality of life, and cognitive function as well as decrease mortality in normal adults. In this regard, physical activity, particularly aerobic exercise training (AET), may have favorable effects on TBI-related vascular and cerebral blood flow (CBF) changes. However, knowledge gaps regarding the effects of chronic TBI on vascular function still exist. Furthermore, little is known about the effect of AET on carotid arterial stiffness and CBF in patients with TBI with pre-existing brain injury.
OBJECTIVE: We hypothesized that TBI patients may continue to suffer from vascular impairments at the chronic stage and may benefit from aerobic exercise with improvements in cardiorespiratory fitness, decrease in carotid arterial stiffness, and improved brain health.
METHODS: Twenty-three participants with a history of mild to severe TBI and twenty-five age- gender-fitness level-matched participants with no history of TBI were recruited for the normal control group (non-TBI). All participants were 18-65 years old and have a sedentary lifestyle. The groups were divided into young (19-44 years old) and middle-aged (45-63 years old) for further analysis. Carotid arterial compliance was measured using common carotid artery echography and applanation tonometry. Transcranial Doppler was used to measure the cerebral blood flow velocities. Carotid arterial compliance was calculated from the carotid diameters and blood pressures.
Seventeen of the TBI survivors (age: 48±13 years, 10 women) with persistent neurological symptoms 6-60 months after initial injury were randomized to 3-month moderate-intensity AET or control stretching program (SAT) and completed the interventions. Among them, 10 sustained mild TBI and 7 had moderate to severe TBI. Cardiorespiratory fitness was assessed by peak oxygen uptake (VO2peak) using a modified Astrand-Saltin treadmill protocol. Carotid arterial compliance was measured as measured. Neuropsychological function was assessed using the NIH Toolbox cognition battery and the PROMIS assessment.
RESULTS: In the cross-sectional portion of the study, hemodynamic parameters indicate that the TBI group had higher brachial blood pressure (116.4 ± 10.4 vs. 109.8 ± 9.3 mmHg, p < 0.05). and carotid systolic blood pressure (113.0 ± 11.0 vs. 102.8 ± 10.6 mmHg, p < 0.05) than the non-TBI groups at rest. Arterial compliance was significantly lower in the TBI vs. non-TBI group (0.101 + 0.025 vs. 0.120 + 0.029 mm2/mmHg, p < 0.05). Additionally, cerebrovascular resistance was significantly higher in the TBI vs. non-TBI group (0.168 + 0.0332 vs. 0.145 + 0.0290 mmHg/mL/min, p < 0.05).
Ten participants were randomized to AET group and seven to stretching group. No age, gender, or VO2peak differences were noted at baseline between AET and stretching groups. The duration of the intervention was twelve weeks. Although no statistically significant changes were observed following the intervention, different trends were observed. VO2peak increased by 7% in AET yet decreased by 4% in stretching; arterial compliance increased by 12 % in AET and decreased by 2% in stretching; NIH Toolbox fluid composite score, which assessed adaptability to new experience, improved by 15% in AET and 9% in stretching; and the NIH Toolbox total composite score, which involves adaptability to new experiences as well as past knowledge and skills, improved by 7% in AET versus 4% in stretching.
CONCLUSION: The results suggest that TBI is associated with increased blood pressure, which is consistent with existing literature. The elevated blood pressure potentially leads is associated with decreased arterial compliance and increased resistance in the cerebral vasculature. Previous literature suggests that decreased cerebral blood flow may be associated with the cognitive impairment in TBI patients.
For the longitudinal portion of the study, the physiological measurements (includingVO2peak, arterial compliance, and pulsatility index) and cognitive measurements suggest the potential positive effect of AET on physiological and cognitive improvement in patients with TBI. Physical activity, both SAT and AET, can improve arterial compliance in patients with chronic TBI
