Alien Son : The life and times of Cheok Hong Cheong, (Zhang Zhuoxiong) 1851-1928

This thesis contributes to the ongoing discussion of modern Chinese identity by providing a case study of Cheok Hong CHEONG. This thesis contributes to the ongoing discussion of modern Chinese identity by pro-viding a case study of Cheok Hong CHEONG. It necessarily considers Australian atti-tudes towards the Chinese during the 19th century, not least the White Australia Pol-icy. The emergence of that discriminatory immigration policy over the second half of the 19th century until its national implementation in 1901 provides the background to the thesis. Cheong was the leading figure among Chinese-Australian Christians and a prominent figure in the Australian Chinese community and the thesis seeks to iden-tify a man whose contribution has largely been shadowy in other studies or, more commonly, overlooked by the parochialism of colony/state emphasis in many histo-ries of Australia. His role in the Christian church fills a space in Victorian religious history. ¶ ..

An Early Story of Kho Ping Hoo

Kho Ping Hoo (1926–1994) is the most well-known of all Indonesian writers of popular silat stories, largely set in China, which describe the adventures and romances of legendary heroes famed for their skill in martial arts. It is less well-known that he began his career writing critical stories about socio-economic conditions in the late 50s and early 60s. This paper discusses one of these stories. It places the story in the context of political developments of the time, in particular as they affected the Chinese Indonesian community. The paper argues that this story and one or two others like it come at the end of a tradition of Sino-Indonesian literature which had flourished from the end of the nineteenth century until the mid-1950s. After 1960, Chinese-Indonesian writers cease writing realist fiction of any kind and write either silat stories or romantic stories set in middle class urban environments

Stability of bioactive compounds and antioxidant activities of kenaf seed oil-in-water nanoemulsions under different storage temperatures

Kenaf seed oil-in-water nanoemulsions (NANO) stabilized by sodium caseinate (SC), beta-cyclodextrin (β-CD), and Tween 20 (T20) have been optimized and shown to improve in vitro bioaccessibility and physicochemical stability in the previous study. The main objective of this study was to evaluate the stability of bioactive compounds and antioxidants in the NANO during storage at different temperatures (4 °C, 25 °C, and 40 °C). An evaluation of the antioxidant activities of each emulsifier showed that SC had good scavenging capability with 97.6% ABTS radical scavenging activity. Therefore, SC which was used as one of the main emulsifiers could further enhanced the antioxidant activity of NANO. At week 8 of storage, NANO that stored at 4 °C had maintained the best bioactive compounds stability and antioxidant activities with 90% retention of vitamin E and 65% retention of phytosterols. These results suggested that 4 °C would be the most suitable storage temperature for NANO containing naturally present vitamin E and phytosterols. From the accelerated storage results at 40 °C, NANO containing vitamin E and phytosterols had maintained half of its initial concentration until week 4 and week 2 of storage, which is equivalent to 16 weeks and 8 weeks of storage at room temperature, respectively

HUKUM JUAL BELI TANPA IZIN EDAR PRODUK MINUMANN MORINGA CHEONG DI KOTA BANDA ACEH MENURUT HUKUM ISLAM

Every human being, male or female, will not be separated from the practice of buying and selling, whether on a large or small scale, at the individual, community and even inter-country levels. Likewise, when someone wants to run a business, they should pay attention to the licensing of the product so that people who buy it will be more confident and safe and legal under the law. Moringa Cheong's product is a herbal drink made from fermented Moringa leaves, but it is immediately marketed even though the distribution permit has not been fully issued, so this is a problem in decision Number 341/Pid.Sus/2022/Pn.Bna. This research aims to find out what type of contract is used by shops and supermarkets with PT.Korea Aceh Mandiri in buying and selling food products in the form of Moringa Cheong drinks and to find out the judge's considerations in handing down sentences to Lee Chungyoung as the owner of PT.Korea Aceh Mandiri based on decision Number 341/Pid.Sus/2022/Pn BNA. Using Normative Jurisprudence as a research method, library research to obtain materials. The marketing process for the Moringa Cheong herbal drink uses a deposit agreement or wadi, ah, where the drink product is entrusted to supermarkets and drug stores in Banda Aceh City. When the product sells, the profits will be given according to what was agreed at the beginning. In decision Number 341/Pid.Sus/2022/Pn Bna, the judge considered that the defendant's good intentions in producing the Moringa Cheong drink product were to make the people who drank it healthy, and also that the distribution permit for the product was almost ready. throughout the process, but because of the defendant's lack of patience, what he didn't want happened

Biohydrogen Production During Growth of an Indigenous Bacterium, Ochrobactrum Putranensis Eb2,in Palm Oil Mill Effluent

The study was on the production of hydrogen from palm oil mill effluent using indigenous bacteria. Three potential bacteria (WL1, EB2, and DT1) were isolated from wetland soil, termite’s gut and anaerobic digester tank, respectively. All three isolates were Gram-positive, spore-forming, facultative anaerobe rods and exhibited motility by means of peritrichous flagella. All of the isolates were short straight rods, appeared in-pairs, clumped-together and formed biofilm on the agar surface. Using the 16s rRNA identification method, EB2 belonged to the Brucellaceae family and is closely related to Ochrobactrum sp., thus, designated as Ochrobactrum putranensis EB2; while WL1 and DT1 isolates were taxonomically positioned as Bacillus cereus. These bacteria differed by 30-35% in the 16s rRNA identification method from the existing bacteria recorded in the gene library. Since EB2 is different from other bacteria in the database, it is regarded as a new bacteria. In this study, the EB2 bacteria was used throughout the study to enhance the production of hydrogen. The study on the optimization of hydrogen production was done on the Ochrobactrum putranensis EB2 and the parameters chosen were pH 4, 5 and 6; at temperatures 30°C, 37°C and 45°C. Comparisons were done with VFA and hydrogen production as well as COD reduction. The Ochrobactrum putranensis EB2 was able to grow steadily in POME and produced hydrogen at the pH of 5.5 and temperature 37°C. The highest μmax obtained was 0.384 h-1. An average of 1300 mL of accumulated hydrogen volume was obtained within 72 hours of batch fermentation from 1 L of POME in the optimization study. Production of hydrogen from palm oil mill effluent (POME) by Ochrobactrum putranensis EB2 was investigated in 2.0 L bioreactor with working volume of 1.0 L at 37°C and pH of 5.5 ± 0.3. The optimized conditions were applied in the hydrogen production study. The average hydrogen volume accumulated in the system was 1100 mL with 58.0% COD removal. Repeated experiments done on the batch fermentation confirmed the reproducibility of the results. Continuous fermentation were started after 72 hours of batch fermentation when there was no hydrogen production. During continuous fermentation, hydrogen gas production was at 34.2 mL H2/L per day for HRT 0.5 day, 13.0 mL H2/L per day for HRT 1.0 day and 12.6 mL H2/L per day for HRT 1.5 days and these show the HRT-dependent characteristics of hydrogen production. The efficiency of Ochrobactrum putranensis EB2 to convert the POME into hydrogen gas was about 31.67 mL H2/g COD and was the highest recorded in batch fermentation reducing to 8 mL H2/g COD at the end of the batch fermentation. The highest productivity obtained in the continuous fermentation was 1.07 mol H2/mol glucose, was good in comparison with those reported earlier, 1.00-2.36 mol H2/mol glucose. The high productivity was excellent as most of the COD was converted to gas, based on the theoretical yield of 4 mol-H2/mol-glucose. As such, HRT 0.5 day gave the best result compared to other HRT done in the study

Production of L-Lactic Acid Using Various Carbon Sources by Enterococcus Gallinarum EB1

This study reports on the production of L-lactic acid using a locally isolated bacteria. Bacteria were screened and isolated from POME sludge, kitchen refuse, leachate biomass, soil and fermented milk. Five bacteria shown positive result in the preliminary test and only one bacteria which was isolated from POME effluent shown the highest lactic acid production. Using shake flask culture, 18.0 g/L of L-lactic acid was produced from 20.0 g/L glucose . The selectivity of lactic acid produced by the bacteria was 99.8% compared to other organic acids. This indicated that the bacteria can be use for the production of L-Lactic acid. Using the BIOLOG system, the bacteria was identified belonging to the family Enterococcus gallinarum and named as Enterococcus gallinarum EB1. Morphologically, the bacteria is cocci-shaped and in chains or grouped. The optimal growth condition for the bacteria was at pH 6 and temperature 37°C where at this condition, the bacteria able to produced highest lactic acid yield at 1.9 g/g using glucose as substrate. The organic acids composition was dependent on the pH and temperature. In an anaerobic batch fermentation to produce lactic acid using four types of substrates (glucose, kitchen refuse, sago starch and cooked rice), the highest lactic acid production was 45.0 g/L. From the experiment, the bacteria was able to convert the kitchen refuse into lactic acid at 45.2 g/L and small amount of other organic acids. The comparison was also done with other substrates to show that the bacteria able to utilise kitchen refuse in lactic acid production. In the recovery process of lactic acid, the best method was to use H₂SO₄ prior to evaporation at 90°C with 3mmHg vacuum pressure. H₂SO₄ able to free lactic acid from lactate salts formed in the fermentation because the use of NaOH to control pH in the bioreactor throughout the fermentation process. The evaporation method able to achieved 86.76% lactic acid recovery yield from the fermentation broth. It was the highest recovery yield recorded in evaporation compared to other evaporation method with additional of solvents (propanol and butanol) with temperature at 90°C and pressure around 3mmHg

The Australia-Korea Economic Relationship and Prospects for an FTA

Since the 1960s, trade opportunities based on complementary economies have driven the Australia-Korea economic relationship. Australia exported raw materials, principally minerals and energy, which Korea processed and subsequently sold on domestic and international markets. In return, Australia purchased increasing volumes of Korean manufactures, initially textiles, clothing and footwear and later automobiles. With the onset of the financial and economic crisis in Korea during 1997-98, trade and investment opportunities were severely constrained. However, in the wake of the crisis, and the rapid recovery of the Korean economy underpinned by corporate and financial sector reforms, trade and investment opportunities in traditional areas have re-emerged as well as in new areas. Australia's rapid economic growth has also increased demand for the sorts of consumer products produced by Korea. It is, therefore, opportune to consider the benefits, and obstacles, to the establishment of an Australia-Korea Free Trade Agreement. The paper analyses trends in Australia's trade and investment with Korea. New areas for trade are also highlighted as well as prospects for an FTA between the two countries. In doing so it: reviews the Australia-Korea bilateral trade relationship; reviews the nature and extent of foreign direct investment between Australia and Korea; reviews trade and investment prospects and opportunities between the two countries; analyses the prospects for a Korea-Australia Free Trade Agreement (KAFTA); reviews the potential economic effects from a KAFTA; and identifies key policy implications.Australia, Korea, free trade agreement, trade and investment
