    University Leaders should have the entrepreneurial capacity to strengthen the Malaysia higher education sector. The role of higher education in economically improving Malaysia is undeniable. One of the functions of higher education is to build graduate entrepreneurs capable of creating jobs. Therefore, those talents should be led by leaders who have an entrepreneurial mindset. Unfortunately, less effective informal entrepreneurship education that relates to entrepreneurial leadership has been executed to inculcate the knowledge and skills of entrepreneurial leadership. Hence previous research that indicated the effective entrepreneurial leadership training which regards to entrepreneurship body of knowledge is scarce. Therefore, this study will also disclose the findings that relate to effective entrepreneurial leadership training that can change the knowledge of university leaders and fill in the gaps in the entrepreneurship body of knowledge. This study employs a Quantitative method that utilizes the Kirkpatrick Training Effectiveness Analysis Model. The descriptive and mean score analysis is used to indicate the changes in entrepreneurial leadership knowledge. It is found that the awareness of entrepreneurial leadership has increased, and they believe that entrepreneurship skills and behaviors can be carried out accordingly. Future research should enhance this study by utilizing Kirkpatrick Training Effectiveness Analysis Level Three

    Snake fruit (Salacca edulis Reinw.) is a tropical fruit with short shelf time because it is highly susceptible on fungal infection and enzymatic browning reaction. The color and pH changes of the fruit caused by enzymatic browning is one of the indicator of the damaged fruit that was caused by activation of polyphenol oxidase enzyme (PPO). One of the possible alternative agent to inhibit this reaction is using hypoiodous acid (HIO), which was known as an antibacterial and antifungal compound. The purpose of this study was to analyze correlation between color changes and pH value for HIO treatment on snake fruit during 15 days at room temperature storage (30Ā±5oC). Color changes analyze referred to L*a*b* analysis was done using digital color meter and the pH test was done by using portable pH meter. The result indicated that HIO could maintain color changes (L*a*b* value) and pH of snake fruit during storage at room temperature which caused by enzymatic browning reaction. As conclusion, HIO could be used as alternative compound to inhibit enzymatic browning in snake fruit through the detection in color and pH changes

    Kemiskinan merupakan kondisi seseorang yang mengalami kesulitan untuk memenuhi kebutuhan hidupnya, termasuk kebutuhan akan sandang, papan dan pangan. Kondisi ini biasanya disebabkan oleh rendahnya jumlah pendapatan yang diperoleh individu tersebut. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis bagaimana pengaruh Pendapatan Asli Daerah (PAD) dan Dana Bagi Hasil (DBH) terhadap tingkat kemiskinan di Kota Magelang selama tahun 2010 hingga 2019. Teknik analisis yang digunakan adalah analisis regresi berganda. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa variabel PAD dan DBH secara simultan berpengaruh positif terhadap tingkat kemiskinan di Kota Magelang selama sepuluh tahun terakhir. Variabel PAD memiliki pengaruh negatif dan signifikan terhadap tingkat kemiskinan di Kota Magelang. Artinya, jika PAD meningkat maka tingkat kemiskinan akan menurun. Sementara variabel DBH memiliki pengaruh yang positif tetapi tidak signifikan terhadap variabel kemiskinan. Artinya, apabila DBH meningkat, maka tingkat kemiskinan juga akan meningkat

    This study aimed to describe the mother's level of knowledge about nutrition , describe the nutritional status of children under five , and maternal knowledge about the relationship of nutrition and nutritional status of children under five in Housing Belimbing.Jenis this research is quantitative descriptive correlational form . The population in this study were mothers of children under five who have poor nutritional status and malnutrition , amounting to 38 orang.Analisis using the Pearson correlation coefficient Product Moment Correlation and continued with the t test for the significance analysis korelasi.Berdasarkan coefficient description of the data analysis results , that percentage the level of achievement of the respondents on the variables of maternal nutrition knowledge was highest in the percentage of 58 % with the low category , nutritional status of children under five variables obtained results from 38 infants who have nutritional problems are 11 % who suffer from malnutrition , and the remaining 89 % are children under five nutritional status less . The results of the correlation analysis suggests that there is a positive and significant relationship between mothers' knowledge of nutrition with nutritional status of children in the Housing Carambola

    Objective: The aim of the study is to evaluate the efficacy of flaxseed paste on the surface lightness (L), chroma (C) and hue (h) of extracted teeth. Materials and Methods: Thirty extracted human teeth (incisors and canines) were selected and grouped into control (no treatment), flaxseed (treatment) and fluoride (positive control) groups. Teeth in control group were placed in saline throughout the experiment, whilst the teeth in flaxseed and fluoride groups were immersed in a carbonated drink for two days to induce demineralisation prior to the treatment using fluoride toothpaste and 1gm/ml of freshly prepared flaxseed paste respectively. The values L, C and h were measured at 3 stages (initial, during treatment, after treatment) using a spectrophotometer. Computerized digital imaging analyses were performed using Photoshop CS6 software (Adobe, San Jose, CA, USA). Statistical analyses were performed using repeated measures ANOVA. Results: At the final reading, spectrophotometric analysis showed decrease in L in both positive control and test groups. Fluoride was more effective, but not significant, in reducing the lightness (L=55.69 plusmn 5.38, p=0.070) than flaxseed (L=67.60 plusmn 5.34, p=0.070). The mean C value was higher in flaxseed group (C=2.75 plusmn 2.73, p=0.010) compared to fluoride group (C=2.78 plusmn 2.73, p=0.010). In contrast, the mean h value for flaxseed group was much lower (h=121.50 plusmn 10.53, p=0.000) when compared to fluoride group (h=260.02 plusmn 10.53, p=0.000). Conclusion: Flaxseed paste has shown to be effective in reducing L. Although fluoride toothpaste produced obvious decrease in L, organic flaxseed paste shows promising effect in alleviating surface lightness, hence enhancing tooth surface mineralisation that may be explored further in future research

    Effect of Probiotics in Breast Cancer: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis

    Probiotics may have the potential to protect against breast cancer, partly through systemic immunomodulatory action and active impact upon intestinal microbiota. Given a few clinical studies on their curative role, we conducted a systematic review of the potential effects of probiotics in breast cancer patients and survivors of breast cancer, aiming to support further clinical studies. A literature search was performed using PubMed, Embase, and the CENTRAL databases from inception through to March 2022. A total of eight randomized clinical trials were identified from thirteen articles published between 2004 and 2022. We evaluated quality-of-life measures, observed bacterial species and diversity indices, probiotic-related metabolites, inflammatory biomarkers, and other responses in breast cancer patients and survivors. Results were synthesized qualitatively and quantitatively using random-effects meta-analysis. Different probiotics supplements utilized included Lactobacillus species alone (Lacto), with or without estriol; probiotic combinations of Lactobacillus with Bifidobacterium (ProLB), with or without prebiotic fructooligosaccharides (FOS); ProLB plus Streptococcus and FOS (ProLBS + FOS); and ProLB plus Enterococcus (ProLBE). We found that use of ProLBS with FOS in breast cancer patients and use of ProLBE in survivors of breast cancer show potential benefits in countering obesity and dyslipidemia. ProLBS with FOS use decreases pro-inflammatory TNF-Ī± in breast cancer survivors and improves quality of life in those with breast-cancer-associated lymphedema. Supplementing probiotics capsules (109 CFU) with a prebiotic and using an intake duration of 10 weeks could provide a better approach than probiotics alone.</jats:p
