Exploring disorganized attachment style among Malay mothers in Malaysia: a study using the Attachment Style Interview

This article explores emerging themes involving disorganized attachment style among Malay Muslim mothers using the Attachment Style Interview (ASI). Analysis of the 18 mothers with disorganized attachment style (those with combined anxious and avoidant styles) utilized themes deemed important from the attachment research literature and selected based on a careful reading of the narrative cases. These include more extreme negative interpersonal experiences than found in other insecure attachment style descriptors, and included partner violence and related isolation/social exclusion. It also indicated more complex cognitive-affective disturbance including mixed or contradictory dependency patterns and both angry and fearful attitudes to others. We discuss the concept of disorganized attachment style in relation to abuse, social exclusion, and its implication for psychopathology, intervention, and treatment

Kapasitas Antioksidan Suplemen pada Berbagai Berat Ekstrak Bubuk Pod Husk Kakao

The purpose of this study was to determine the best ratio of powdered cocoa pod husk for bio-capsule production and to determine damage of polyphenol powder and antioxidant after encapsulation ofcocoa pod husk. In this study, absolute ethanol solvent as a polar solvent was used to extract polyphenol compounds. A Completely Randommized design with treatments of four different wieghts of cacao pod husk were used i.e. 20g, 25g, 30g and 35 g. The highest capacity of antioxidant and supplement was shown by the 20 g cocoa pod husk treatment containing 11803.56 mg ascorbat, 83.15 g total phenol ase gallat. This results indicate that the total phenol of the cacao pod husk decrease by 77.40% along with lowering antioxidant capacity by 18.66%. Decreased level of the total phenol and antioxidant capacity is due to damage occuring during concenrating and drying proceses of the supplement materials

Perencanaan Bangunan Pengendali Sedimen Daerah Aliran Sungai Kreo Kota Semarang

Kreo River is the part of Garang River which located in Semarang City and the area of this river is 61,059 km2. Kreo River is one of sedimentation contributor for Jatibarang Dam, an estimated 387,33 Ton/Ha/Years sedimentation which enter in Jatibarang Dam are come from this river. One of the solution for the sedimentation and erosion problem in river is by developing building controller sedimentation or similar called check dam. From the calculation, check dam planned to have physical like as follows : the peak elevation of spillway main dam in the elevation + 187,419 m with highly effective is 4 m and deepness of foundation is 2 m, wide of spillway main dam obtained 45 m, with Q plan return period 100 years to 216,475 m3/s, high of wings main dam is 3 m at elevation + 190,419 m with highly of surveillance is 0,8 m, main dam construction use rubble stone masonry, elevation of peak spillway sub at + 185,419 m with highly obtained 2 m and deepness foundation until 2 m, sub dam construction use rubble stone masonry, the elevation of protection floor at +183,419 m with thickness until 1 m, the construction use rubble stone masonry

The effect of tool surface roughness in cold work extrusion

In this study, the influence of tool surface roughness on the metal flow in deformation areas was investigated by using a cold work plane strain extrusion apparatus. Two types of polished tools (taper die) were used in this experiment. The tool (taper die) had a 45-degree die half angle. The material of specimen (billet) was pure Aluminum Al 100. The lubricant used in this investigation was Refined, Bleached and Deodorized (RBD) palm olein. The extrusion process was done by using a hydraulic press machine. The extrusion load and piston stroke movement were recorded by using the load cell and displacement sensor, respectively. After the experiment, the billet was taken out and the surface roughness was measured. The u- and v- component velocities were calculated using the visioplasticity method. As a result, the extrusion load and surface roughness of extruded material differed between the two types of taper die and influenced the metal flow in the deformation area of billets

Flexible ECG circuit fabrication and application using vinyl cutting technique

The aim of this study is to prove the capability of vinyl cutting technique to cut the conductive traces of electronic circuit layout which used a copper tape (Copper tape 1181 from 3M) on flexible substrate to replace the method of using nano-scale particle material. A wireless electrocardiography (ECG) circuit was integrated and fabricated on flexible substrate, namely a polyethylene terephthalate (PET) substrate by using vinyl cutting method to produce the conductive line traces. After that, the fabricated circuit is used for acquiring ECG signals from a patient simulator and human subjects to measure the performance differences and compatibility as a wearable device. In the data processing stage, ECG data were denoised using sym20 from Wavelet Transform tool provided by MATLAB. Then, Signal-to-noise-ratio (SNR) was calculated and used as the signal quality indicator. At the end of the study, flexible circuit performance was compared to MIT-BIH Arrhythmia database and it shows that there is no significance difference between both. In conclusion, vinyl cutting method shows a promising fabrication output on PET substrate as the performance of both flexible ECG circuit is comparable with rigid ECG circuit by a previous study

The Evaluation of Potentiostats: Electrochemical Detection Devices

This study evaluated the performance of three types of potentiostats; EmStat, CheapStat and UTMStat. EmStat is the smallest potentiostat available in the market. CheapStat is an open-source potentiostat suitable for educational applications. In addition, UTMStat is the extension of CheapStat, which was designed to overcome few weaknesses of CheapStat such as the input controller/ switch and data storage handling of the cyclic voltammogram. The cyclic voltammetry and amperometry measurements of ions ferrocyanide ([Fe(CN)6]4−) and chloride (Cl-) were carried out for each potentiostat. EmStat potentiostat is not only able to detect but also to measure ferrocyanide and chloride ions. However, CheapStat and UTMStat are only able to detect and measure ferrocyanide ions. The experiment is unable to be conducted due to limitation of waveform selection on both devices. Nevertheless, CheapStat and UTMStat could provide a reliable measurement to realize miniaturized lab-on-chip applications as shown in this study
