Evaluation of selected wastewater treatment plants on UiTM Shah Alam Campus / Rusmini Ibrahim

Standards have been established for the quality of effluent discharged from treatment plants to receiving waters. In Malaysia, there are wastewater treatment plants that are not in compliance with the enforcement by the Department of Environment (DOE). Effluents that are discharged are not complying the standard will affect receiving water and ecosystems. This study mainly focused on the performance of wastewater treatment plants in UiTM Shah Alam Campus. Three wastewater treatment plants were selected namely wastewater treatment plants at Mawar College, Teratai College and Seroja College. To achieve the objectives, the laboratory experiments were carried out to analyze the quality of the wastewater generated from the selected wastewater treatment plants. The experiments include test for chemical oxygen demand (COD) and suspended solid (SS). The result shows that only wastewater treatment plant at Seroja College that comply with Standard B. Wastewater treatment plants at Mawar College and Teratai College are not comply against standard and need to be upgraded

HUBUNGAN STROKE DENGAN ANGKA KEJADIAN EPILEPSI DI RSUD DR. A. DADI TJOKRODIPO BANDAR LAMPUNG TAHUN 2014

Latar Belakang : Stroke merupakan suatu gangguan fungsional fokal maupun global dengan tanda dan gejala. Bekas penderita stroke bisa terserang epilepsi. Dalam jaringan otak, kurangnya aliran darah menyebabkan serangkaian reaksi biokimia, yang dapat menimbulkan serangan kejang pada epilepsi. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui ada tidaknya hubungan antara stroke dengan angka kejadian epilepsi di RSUD Dr. A. Dadi Tjokrodipo Bandar Lampung Tahun 2014. Metode Penelitian :Penelitian ini menggunakan desain analitik pendekatan cross sectional. Penelitian dilakukan di RSUD DR. A. Dadi Tjokrodipo pada bulan April - Juni 2015. Jumlah sampel yang di ambil sebanyak 97 responden yang memenuhi kriteria inklusi, Data rekam medik untuk menemukan hubungan antara dua variabel dikumpulkan selama penelitian. Analisis statistik yang digunakan adalah teknik total sampling untuk mendapatkan data yang diinginkan dan selanjutnya dianalisis menggunakan aplikasi SPSS. Hasil Penelitian :Dari 97 subjek penelitian didapatkan sebagian besar subjek berusia 51-60 tahun (56,1%) dengan jenis kelamin terbanyak adalah laki laki (61,9%) responden yang tidak mengalami stroke (84,5%) dan responden tidak mengalami epilepsi (88,7%) Hasil statistik chi square didapatkan nilai p = 0,368 (p < 0,05). Kesimpulan :Berdasarkan hasil penelitian, tidak ada hubungan antara stroke dengan angka kejadian epilepsi

Cellulose: from biocompatible to bioactive material

International audienceSince the papyri, cellulose has played a significant role in human culture, especially as paper. Nowadays, this ancient product has found new scientific applications in the expanding sector of paper-based technology. Among paper-based devices, paper-based biosensors raise a special interest. The high selectivity of biomolecules for target analytes makes these sensors efficient. Moreover, simple paper-based detection devices do not require hardware or specific technical skill. They are inexpensive, rapid, user-friendly and therefore highly promising for providing resource-limited settings with point-of-care diagnostics. The immobilization of biomolecules onto cellulose is a key step in the development of these sensing devices. Following an overview of cellulose structural features and physicochemical properties, this article reviews current techniques for the immobilization of biomolecules on paper membranes. These procedures are categorized into physical, biological and chemical approaches. There is no universal method for biomolecule immobilization. Thus, for a given paper-based biochip, each strategy can be considered
