Comparative Study of Soft Template on Gunningite Synthesis for Ibuprofen Adsorption Application

This study aimed to investigate the effect of soft template variations on Zinc Sulfate Hydrate (Gunningite) synthesis and the maximum adsorption capacity of ibuprofen. This study employed the soft template method and hydrothermal at 100 °C, followed by calcination at 550 °C. Here, ZnSO4 heptahydrate was used as the precursor for different templates. XRD analysis exhibited that the crystal sizes of Gunningite-F127G, Gunningite-F127, Gunningite-P123G, Gunningite-P123, and Gunningite-G were 18.35; 25.33; 25.67; 27.30; and 24.24 nm with crystallinity degrees of 36.89; 42.62; 46.83; 41.27; and 40.62%, respectively. FTIR examination indicated that the five samples contained functional groups of OH stretching at 3170 cm–1, Zn-O-Zn at 1637 cm–1, Zn-S=O symmetric and asymmetric at 900 and 1056 cm–1, and Zn-O at 521 cm–1. Furthermore, SEM-EDX investigation revealed that the morphology of all Gunningite samples was inhomogeneous due to agglomeration. Besides that, the elemental compositions in the samples were dominated by Zn and O elements. The maximum adsorption capacity obtained from each sample was 221.1 mg/g (Gunningite-F127G); 226.06 mg/g (Gunningite-F127); 234.23 mg/g (Gunningite-P123G); 229.76 mg/g (Gunningite-P123); and 222.85 mg/g (Gunningite-G). Moreover, the Gunningite kinetic model of ibuprofen adsorption followed Ho and McKay's pseudo-second-order kinetic model

Edukasi Pola Makan Bergizi melalui Komunikasi Antar Pribadi pada Ibu Hamil di Wilayah Kerja Puskesmas Belimbing

The stunting rate in toddlers is still high in West Sumatra Province, including Padang City. These nutritional problems are inseparable from the mother's role in maintaining her health and nutrition before, during, and after pregnancy or childbirth. Nutritious food is recommended to meet the mother's needs and the fetus's growth and development. The activity aims to increase mothers' understanding of the consumption of nutritious food during pregnancy and their ability to apply it in their daily lives. The activity was carried out through nutrition education accompanied by individual counselling from house to house in the work area of the Public Medical Center in Belimbing, Padang City. Leaflets were distributed to pregnant women to help them understand the material presented. A total of 20 pregnant women were involved in this activity and were enthusiastic about it, as can be seen from the questions asked of the educators. The activity resulting in this education effectively increases the mother's knowledge. With personal communication, this problem can be overcome. Thus, mothers with malnutrition will better understand the nutritious food that must be consumed

IMPLEMENTASI ENTERPRISE RESOURCES PLANNING (ERP) PADA BISNIS WARALABA Kentucky Fried Chicken (KFC)

KFC is the largest and most famous chicken restaurant in the world with restaurant chains in more than 10,000 locations spread across 80 countries. KFC has more than 2000 franchises spread throughout the world. the large number of franchises owned by KFC has caused report integration to be difficult to validate and management has difficulty tracking inventory stocks. With this, KFC is burdened by several sources that are not integrated, resulting in a lot of time and money lost for the duplication of order entries and business processes in all outlets. The reason behind this problem is evident from systems that cannot communicate with each other. Therefore KFC Franchising updates the structure of corporate information technology supported by the use of computerized information systems that are closely related to the operation support system (OSS) and managing support system (MSS) as a solution to the problems that have been faced. Where this information system is used to maintain quality control programs for restaurant services so that the company's operations continue to run sustainably for the creation of product excellence and to develop and apply new ideas by making financial statements a measure to measure their contribution to business.
