CHILD NUTRITION - FRUIT AND VEGETABLES CONSUMPTION FOR 11 YEAR OLD SCHOOL CHILDREN
Get PDFV magistrskem delu je predstavljen problem nezadostnega uživanja sadja in zelenjave pri otrocih v Ljubljanski regiji. Nezadosten vnos je predstavljen z vidika spola, s kulturnega, z izobraževalnega vidika ter socialno-ekonomskega statusa in vpliva zaužite količine sadja in zelenjave na telesno težo otrok.
Metodologija raziskovanja. Uporabljena je bila kvantitativna metoda dela. Raziskovalna inštrumenta sta validirana anketna vprašalnika za starše in otroke. Vsebujeta kombinirane tipe vprašanj in za otroke vključujeta metodo jedilnika prejšnjega dne (24-hour recall) ter metodo pogostosti uživanja posameznih živil (food frequency questionnaire).
Rezultati. Na podlagi vzorčnih podatkov sklepamo, da povprečen enajstletni otrok v Ljubljanski regiji ne zaužijejo dovolj sadja v primerjavi s prehranskimi priporočili, čeprav kar 40% otrok ni zaužilo vsaj 150 g sadja in 18,7% otrok v opazovanem dnevu ni zaužilo sadja. Veliko premalo v primerjavi s priporočenimi vrednostmi pa otroci pojejo zelenjave. Povprečni dnevni primanjkljaj zelenjave znaša 175 g od priporočene količine 250 g. Skoraj 35 % otrok v opazovanem dnevu ni pojedlo zelenjave. V vzorcu enajstletnih otrok ni povezanosti med indeksom telesne mase in količino zaužitega sadja in zelenjave, pač pa obstaja šibka pozitivna povezanost med zaužito dnevno količino sadja in dnevno količino zelenjave (Spearmanov rho = 0,310). V primerjavi s fanti, deklice zaužijejo povprečno 17g več zelenjave. Za polovico otrok (dečkov in deklic) v vzorcu lahko rečemo, da pojejo manj kot 40 g zelenjave dnevno. Razlike v dnevnih količinah zelenjave med spoloma so mejno statistično značilne. Socialnoekonomske lastnosti družin opazovanih otrok ne vplivajo na količine zaužitega sadja in zelenjave.
Sklep. Rezultati so pomemben prispevek k povečanju znanja o količini zaužitega sadja in zelenjave pri otrocih. Nova spoznanja so lahko temelj za zdravstveno-vzgojno delo pri preventivnem delu s šolarji na področju povečevanja vnosa sadja in zelenjave, skladno s strateškimi usmeritvami za preusmeritev pozornosti od bolezni k zdravju.This master\u27s thesis presents the problem of insufficient fruit and vegetables consumption with children in the Ljubljana region. Insufficient consumption is presented in the terms of gender, cultural and educational aspect, socio-economic status and also in the affect of insufficient fruit and vegetable consumption on the children weight.
Research methodology. The quantitative method of research was used. The research instruments are validated surveys for parents and children. They include combined type of questions and contain a 24 hour recall of the menu and a food consumption frequency questionnaire for the kids.
Results. Based on the sampled data we conclude that an average eleven year old child in the Ljubljana region consumes enough fruit compared with the dietary recommendations. However 40% of the children consumed less than 150 g of fruit, and 18.7% of children have not consumed fruit during the observation day. Compared to the recommended values children eat far too little vegetables. An average daily deficit of consumed vegetables is 175 g below the recommended quantity of 250 g. Almost 35% of the children have not eaten vegetables during the observation day. In the sample of 11 year old children there is no connection between the Body Mass Index (BMI) and the quantity of the consumed fruit and vegetables, but there is a weak relation between the quantity of consumed fruit and the quantity of consumed vegetables (Spearman’s rho=0,310). Compared to the boys, the girls consume on average 17g more vegetables. One can say, that half of the children (boys and girls) in the sample, eat less than 40 g of vegetables a day. The difference between the daily consumed quantities of vegetables relative to sexes is statistically marginally characteristic. The socio-economic status of the observed children families doesn’t have an effect on the consumed quantity of fruit and vegetables.
Conclusion. The results are an important contribution to increase the knowledge about the children’s consumption of fruit and vegetables. New recognitions could be the foundation for health education to increase the fruit and vegetables consumption of children, in accordance to strategic orientations to divert the attention from sickness to health

Get PDFPopcorn Licious is a business which focusing on selling instant snack which is popcorn. Popcorn is a variety of popcorn kernel which expands and puffs up when heated. The demand for popcorn in Malaysia are increasing day by day. To fulfil the demand in Malaysia, I've decided to create a business 'Popcorn Licious' to supply popcorn Malaysian's demand.
Popcorn Licious was established on October 2020 at Klang, Selangor. We are mainly targeting people who live around Selangor from the age of 16 - 39 years old. Especially office workers, university students and home workers. We are focusing on online platform to reach to our potential customers. Popcorn Licious use Facebook as our main platform to post our teasers, hardsells and softsells.
Our vission is to be one of the big players of snack industry in Malaysia
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Get PDFThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
The effect of enzyme immobilization on the performance of bio-battery / Muhammad Syafiq Zafran Kamarudzaman
Get PDFBio-battery was one of the new fields of energy production that uses carbohydrates or glucose to generate electricity. This type of energy storage device utilizes enzymes to break down glucose into electrons, thus generating a flow of current to produce electricity. One of the major subjects studied by researchers today was the immobilization of enzyme in bio-battery. Enzymes were immobilized onto the electrodes of the bio-battery in order to increase the transfer rate of the electrons, thus increasing the performance of the biobattery. The objectives of the study were to investigate the effect of enzyme immobilization and electrolyte volumes on the performance of bio-battery. The 2-chambered bio-battery comprising of a mixture an autoclaved nutrient broth medium and glucose at the anode part of the battery, while the cathode part consists of an autoclaved potassium ferrocyanide (KCN) and phosphate buffer. Graphite electrodes of diameter 0.5 cm were used both as anode and cathode electrode of the battery. A V-tube was used as bridge that connects the anode and cathode. The immobilization of enzyme was carried out using an ultrasonic standing wave generated by piezoelectric transducers. The result showed that the open circuit potential of the bio-battery increased
by 0.2 V when the immobilization technique was introduced. The effect of electrolyte volume on bio-battery performance was also studied by increasing the volume of the electrolytes. Results showed the open circuit potential was also increased when the electrolyte volume were increased. These results imply that immobilizing enzymes in the bio-battery and changing the electrolyte volumes affects the performance of bio-battery
