    The microbial contamination in the rhizomes of medicinal plants including Curcuma amada rhizomes is generally high. This due to the fact that rhizomes are the bottom parts that grow in the soil. Based on the Regulation of Head of the Indonesian National Agency of Drug and Food Control Number HK.00.06.1.52.4011, the limits of microbial contamination in herbal/medicinal plants are 106 cfu/g for the total microbial and 2×104 cfu/g for the total yeast and mold. Gamma irradiation is one of the methods to reduce microbial contamination in medicinal plants. In this research, the effectiveness of gamma irradiation in microbial reduction and its effects to curcuminoid contents was determined by irradiating Curcuma amada rhizomes at doses of 5 and 10 kGy. The initial contamination in this rhizome was 8.78×107 cfu/g and 5×101 cfu/g for the total microbial and for the total yeast and mould, respectively. The result indicates that at 5 kGy, the microbial contamination and the mould and yeast contamination were reduced from 8.78×107 cfu/g and 5×101 cfu/g to 1.39×104 cfu/g and under 1×101 cfu/g, respectively. Meanwhile the comparison of curcuminoids between the irradiated and non irradiated samples was performed by HPLC method and was found to actually increase from 0.26% to 0.36% after the 5-kGy irradiation. It can be concluded that an irradiation dose of 5 kGy is effective to reduce the content of microorganisms without lowering curcuminoids. Gamma radiation could be used as decontamination method in medicinal plants.Received: 03 July 2015 ; Revised: 29 December 2015; Accepted: 19 Februari 201

    Bacterial cellulose membrane synthesized by Acetobacter xylinum in coconut water medium has potential application for Guided bone Regeneration. However, this membrane may not meet some application requirements due to its low biodegradation properties. In this paper, incorporation of gamma irradiation into the membrane is a developed strategy to increase its biodegradability properties. The in–vitro degradation study in synthetic body fluid (SBF) of the irradiated membrane has been analyzed during periods of 6 months by means of weight loss, mechanical properties and scanning electron microscopy observation compared to that the un-irradiated one. The result showed that weight loss of irradiated membrane with 25 kGy and 50 kGy and immersed in SBF solution for 6 months reached 18% and 25% respectively. While un-irradiated membrane did not give significant weight loss. Tensile strength of membranes decreases with increasing of irradiation dose and further decreases in tensile strength is observed when irradiated membrane was followed by immersion in SBF solution. Microscope electron image of cellulose membranes shows that un-irradiated bacterial cellulose membrane consists of dense ultrafine fibril network structures, while irradiation result in cleavage of fibrils network of cellulose. The fibrils network become loosely after irradiated membrane immersed in SBF solution due to released of small molecular weight carbohydrates formed during by irradiation from the structure. Received: 05 December 2011; Revised: 24 September 2012; Accepted: 29 August 201

    Telah dilakukanpengembangan hidrogel berbasis PVP sebagai plester penurun demam menggunakan teknikiradiasi berkas elektron. Hidrogel berbasis PVP dibuat dengan mengiradiasi campuran polimerPVP, PVA dan bahan tambahan lainnya dengan berbagai komposisi (formula I, II III dan IV)pada dosis 20 sampai 40 kGy. Pengujian yang dilakukan terhadap hidrogel yaitu sifat fisik,fraksi gel, kadar air, daya kelengketan dan waktu penurunan suhu air dari 40oC menjadi 37oC.Hasil yang diperoleh menunjukkan bahwa pada dosis iradiasi 20 sampai 40 kGy, hidrogelformula I mempunyai sifat fisik kurang baik yaitu rapuh, permukaan hidrogel berair danmeninggalkan residu pada kulit setelah hidrogel ditempelkan. Demikian juga dengan formula IVmempunyai sifat fisik seperti kaku, tidak elastis dan rapuh. Hidrogel formula II dan III pada dosis20 kGy mempunyai sifat fisik elastis dan agak rapuh, sedangkan pada dosis 30 kGymempunyai sifat fisik yang diinginkan seperti tidak meninggalkan residu pada kulit, liat,permukaan hidrogel tidak berair dan memberikan rasa nyaman saat digunakan. Hidrogelmenjadi sedikit kaku pada dosis 40 kGy. Fraksi gel bertambah dengan bertambahnya dosis dari20 kGy menjadi 30 kGy, selanjutnya penambahan dosis dari 30 kGy menjadi 40 kGy tidakmenyebabkan kenaikan yang bermakna terhadap fraksi gel. Pada dosis 20 kGy fraksi gelberkisar antara 83 – 87%, sedang pada dosis 30 dan 40 kGy fraksi gel berkisar antara 83-98%.Kadar air hidrogel bergantung pada konsentrasi polimer yang ada. Semakin besar konsentrasipolimer yang digunakan, semakin kecil kadar air hidrogel. Dosis iradiasi tidak berpengaruhsecara nyata pada kadar air hidrogel. Kadar air hidrogel berkisar antara 73 – 84%. Hasilpengujian terhadap daya lengket menunjukkan bahwa hidrogel formula II dan III dengan dosisiradiasi 30 dan 40 kGy mempunyai daya lengket 8,3 – 8,9 gf. Daya lengket hidrogel formula IIdan III setara dengan daya lengket hidrogel komersial (Bye Bye Fever). Hidrogel formula Imempunyai kemampuan penurunan suhu air dari 40oC menjadi 37oC lebih cepat dari padaformula II, III dan IV yaitu dalam waktu 11 menit. Hidrogel formula II dan III mempunyaikecepatan penurunan suhu air dari 40oC menjadi 37oC sebanding dengan hidrogel komersial(Bye Bye Fever) yaitu dalam waktu 12 menit. Hidrogel formula IV adalah yang paling lamamenurunkan suhu air yaitu sekitar 19 menit. Sebaliknya tanpa hidrogel (kontrol) penurunansuhu air dicapai dalam waktu sekitar 37 menit

    This study aims to analyze the accounting tasks of state-owned companies with Indonesian-ness values. The Political Economy of Accounting (PEA) is an analytical tool used to measure a higher level of education which is then referred to as Indonesian PEA. The concept will be the rationale for conducting studies that provide relevant information. The data used are qualitative data from interviews and direct results, as well as quantitative data in the form of annual reports, reports and financial reports obtained directly from the finance department and the official website of PT. Semen Tonasa. The results of the study show that accounting practices by SOEs companies are still far from Indonesian values. The earth, air and natural wealth contained in the earth of Indonesia are the subjects of people's prosperity but the findings in the community that have not existed from the beginning of the resources managed by the company. The reality of social performance is only in the form of false sustainability because it is still formally legal only limited to broadcasting and even becomes a tool of corporate hegemony. It is important for companies to build awareness that is an integral part of the social and community environment, between companies and stakeholders built a "kinship" relationship. Based on the findings of this study, Indonesian character with social justice can be realized if the commitment to Pancasila and the 1945 Constitution can be actualized by the company through family members. The relationship of "kinship" in which there are human values, brotherhood, togetherness, mutual cooperation, and help, the relationship between the community and the relationship between mutual support

    Aim: Red and processed meat may be risk factors for breast cancer due to their iron content, administration of oestrogens to cattle or mutagens created during cooking. We studied the associations in UK Biobank and then included the results in a meta-analysis of published cohort studies. Methods: UK Biobank, a general population cohort study, recruited participants aged 40–69 years. Incident breast cancer was ascertained via linkage to routine hospital admission, cancer registry and death certificate data. Univariate and multivariable Cox proportional hazard models were used to explore the associations between red and processed meat consumption and breast cancer. Previously published cohort studies were identified from a systematic review using PubMed and Ovid and a meta-analysis conducted using a random effects model. Results: Over a median of 7 years follow-up, 4819 of the 262,195 women developed breast cancer. The risk was increased in the highest tertile (>9 g/day) of processed meat consumption (adjusted hazard ratio [HR] 1.21, 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.08–1.35, p = 0.001). Collation with 10 previous cohort studies provided data on 40,257 incident breast cancers in 1.65 million women. On meta-analysis, processed meat consumption was associated with overall (relative risk [RR] 1.06, 95% CI 1.01–1.11) and post-menopausal (RR 1.09, 95% CI 1.03–1.15), but not pre-menopausal (RR 0.99, 95% CI 0.88–1.10), breast cancer. In UK Biobank and the meta-analysis, red meat consumption was not associated with breast cancer (adjusted HR 0.99 95% CI 0.88–1.12 and RR 1.03, 95% CI 0.99–1.08, respectively). Conclusions: Consumption of processed meat, but not red meat, may increase the risk of breast cancer
