Antibacterial Effect of Human Milk against Streptococcus pyogenes: an in vitro Study

Background: Streptococcus pyogenes infection is one of the common upper respiratory infections among children. Human milk has antibacterial properties that may play a role against infections.  The study was conducted to observe the antibacterial effect of human milk against Streptococcus pyogenes.Methods: This was an in vitro experimental study conducted on October–November 2012 in Microbiology Laboratory, Faculty of Medicine, Universitas Padjadjaran, Bandung, using agar well diffusion method. Human milk was collected from eligible donors and tested at concentrations of 70%, 80%, 90%, and 100% dilution with water. Inhibition zone formed surrounding the wells were measured after 24 hours of incubation.Results: All samples incubated with human mils (in concentration of 70%, 80%, 90% and 100%) inhibited the growth of Streptococcus pyogenes, with the inhibition zone mean diameters of 26.33, 28.00, 28.00 and 28.33mm, respectively, compared to the well containing sterile aquadest that did not show any zone of inhibition.Conclusions: Human milk has an in vitro antibacterial effect against Streptococcus pyogenes. Giving human milk to babies is important for preventing infectious diseases

Local food concept in self sufficient producer in Malaysia

Local food means food produced in the same province in which it’s sold or food sold across provincial borders within 50 kilometres of the originating province or territory.There is no consistent definition of “local food”.The purposes of this analysis includes (a) to distinguish between the defining attributes of local food concept and its irrelevant structure and (b) to determine its internal structure by breaking it into simpler elements.The Wilson concept analysis was employed for analysis.Result showed that local food concept differs from halal food concept.Halal food refers to hygiene and healthy foods accord with the teachings of the Quran and Sunnah of the Prophet, Ijma’ (consensus) and Qiyas (deduction of analogy according to the Syafie or any one of the Hanafi, Maliki or Hanbali School of thought or fatwa approved by the relevant Islamic Authority).While, paddy in 1970-1980 met about 87% of the domestic need the result of government policy that emphasised higher food self-sufficiency by increasing yields.In paddy sector, Ninamaju Sdn Bhd is a rice producer started its operation since 1981 originated from and located at northern part of Malaysia or the rice bowl of Malaysia, Kedah.Involved in the production of high quality rice and processing using high-tech machines to meet the demands of daily food community

On the resolution of constant isosteric heat of propylene adsorptionon graphite in the sub-monolayer coverage region

An early experimental study by Bezus, Dreving and Kiselev [1] on the adsorption of propylene on Spheron-6 carbon black (graphitized at ∼3000C) reported a plot of constant isosteric heat versus loading in the sub-monolayer region. This contrasts with their report of a linear increase in isosteric heat for propane, a similar molecule to propylene. In this paper, we report extensive Grand Canonical Monte Carlo (GCMC) simulations and a high-resolution experimental study of propylene adsorption on Carbopack F, a highly graphitized thermal carbon black, over the same temperature range studied by Bezus et al. From this combined simulation and experimental study we conclude that propylene also shows a linear increase in the isosteric heat versus loading in the sub-monolayer region, indicating that the linear increase in the fluid-fluid interaction in this region more than compensates for the decrease in the solid-fluid interaction that results from the change in orientation of the adsorbate molecules. Our study contradicts the propylene results of Bezus et al., and careful inspection of their isotherm in the sub-monolayer region shows that it does not follow Henry’s law. This calls into question their argument that π-π interactions between propylene molecules are an explanation for the constant heat

Chemical potential, Helmholtz free energy and entropy of argon with kinetic Monte Carlo simulation

We present a method based on kinetic Monte Carlo (kMC) to determine the chemical potential, Helmholtz free energy and entropy of a fluid within the course of a simulation. The procedure requires no recourse to auxiliary methods to determine the chemical potential, such as the implementation of a Widom scheme in Metropolis Monte Carlo simulations, as it is determined within the course of the simulation. The equation for chemical potential is proved, for the first time in the literature, to have a direct connection with inverse Widom potential theory in using real molecules rather than ghost molecules. We illustrate this new procedure by several examples, including fluid argon and adsorption of argon as a non-uniform fluid on a graphite surface and in slit pores. © 201

Households’ acceptance of affordable Islamic public-private housing co-operative model (IPHCM) in Malaysia

Purpose: The purpose of this study is to examine the determinants influencing low- and middle-income households in accepting the Islamic public-private housing co-operative model (IPHCM) as an alternative to contemporary affordable public housing models in Malaysia. Design/methodology/approach: Using self-administrated questionnaires, data are collected from low- and middle-income households dwelling in Programme Perumahan Rakyat projects in Kuala Lumpur and the state of Selangor. The study used the theory of planned behaviour (TPB) and used the partial least squares technique to examine the proposed hypothesised relationships. Findings: The findings of this study suggest that subjective norm and perceived consumer religiosity is the most influential determinants affecting the behavioural intention of low- and middle-income households in accepting the IPHCM model. Attitude had a significantly positive relationship with households’ behavioural intentions towards accepting the IPHCM model. Practical implications: The findings of this study can serve as a guideline for policymakers to understand the behavioural intention of low- and middle-income households in accepting newly developed models in affordable public housing space. Originality/value: Behavioural aspects regarding the acceptance of affordable public housing models in Malaysia have yet to be profoundly explored in the literature. This study has extended the TPB by incorporating perceived consumer religiosity, in the affordable public housing domain, to analyse its effects on households’ acceptance of the IPHCM model. © 2020, Emerald Publishing Limited

Tidal dynamics and mangrove carbon sequestration during the Oligo-Miocene in the South China Sea

Modern mangroves are among the most carbon-rich biomes on Earth, but their long-term (≥10 6 years) impact on the global carbon cycle is unknown. The extent, productivity and preservation of mangroves are controlled by the interplay of tectonics, global sea level and sedimentation, including tide, wave and fluvial processes. The impact of these processes on mangrove-bearing successions in the Oligo-Miocene of the South China Sea (SCS) is evaluated herein. Palaeogeographic reconstructions, palaeotidal modelling and facies analysis suggest that elevated tidal range and bed shear stress optimized mangrove development along tide-influenced tropical coastlines. Preservation of mangrove organic carbon (OC) was promoted by high tectonic subsidence and fluvial sediment supply. Lithospheric storage of OC in peripheral SCS basins potentially exceeded 4,000 Gt (equivalent to 2,000 p.p.m. of atmospheric CO2). These results highlight the crucial impact of tectonic and oceanographic processes on mangrove OC sequestration within the global carbon cycle on geological timescales
