DIFFERENCES OF SHORT-TERM CONSUMPTION OF SEMENDO ROBUSTA AND ARABICA COFFEE TOWARDS SWEET TASTE SENSITIVITY

The most consumed and cultivated coffee in Indonesia is robusta and arabica coffee. Robusta and arabica coffee have different characteristics such as morphology, contents, and taste. Coffee consumption could cause alteration in taste sensitivity, especially sweet taste. Those could affect daily sugar consumption. The present study aimed to determine the differences of short-term consumption of semendo robusta and arabica coffee towards sweet taste sensitivity. This study used experimental study with a cross-over design approach that involved 21 students from the Faculty of Medicine Sriwijaya University. Semendo robusta and arabica coffee are used in this study. Sweet taste sensitivity was tested using the whole mouth test method by rinsed with sucrose solution at a concentration of 0,16, 0,32, 0,64, and 1,28 mol/l, which was given from the lowest concentration. Sweet taste sensitivity scores were rated at baseline and after the consumption of semendo robusta and arabica coffee which took place on different days. The lowest sucrose concentration that was correctly interpreted by the subject was noted as a taste sensitivity score. Data were analyzed using the Chi-square test. The chi-square test showed that the decrease in sweet taste sensitivity was more frequently happening after semendo arabica coffee consumption than semendo robusta coffee consumption (p<0,05). Short-term consumption of semendo arabica coffee has significantly increased the risk of sweet taste sensitivity reduction 4 times greater than semendo robusta coffee. There were differences in sweet taste sensitivity between short-term consumption of semendo robusta and arabica coffee

Efek Latihan Fisik Intensitas Sedang Terhadap Kadar Albumin Urin Mahasiswa Akademi Keperawatan Kesdam II Sriwijaya Palembang

Protein dalam urin biasanya menandakan penyakit ginjal atau nefritis, tetapi sebenarnya proteinuriatidak selalu menunjukkanpenyakit ginjal.Pengeluaran protein dalam urin yang mirip dengan yang terjadi pada  nefritis dapat timbul setelah olahraga, tetapi keadaan ini tidak berbahaya, bersifat sementara dan reversibel.Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui efek latihan fisik intensitas sedang terhadap kadar albumin urin mahasiswa Akademi Keperawatan Kesdam II Sriwijaya Palembang.Penelitian Quasi Experimental dengan rancangan one group pre-post test design di Kampus Akademi Keperawatan Kesdam II Sriwijaya Palembang yang berlangsung dari tanggal 29 April 2013 sampai dengan 20 Mei 2013. 23 orang sampel terpilih menyelesaikan latihan fisik intensitas sedang; jogging menempuh jarak 1800 meter dalam 20 menit 3 kali seminggu. Semua sampel dilakukanpengukuran albumin urin sebelum dan sesudah latihan fisik intensitas sedang.Data dideskripsikan dalam bentuk tabel dan diolah dengan menggunakan  uji t-brpasangan pada  SPSS 17.Hasil penelitan menunjukkan bahwa rerata umur sampel  18,61 ± 0,941 tahun, dengan Indeks Masa Tubuh (IMT) 20,90 ± 2,323. Kadar albumin urin sebelum latihan fisik intensitas sedang 4,57 ± 2,041 µg/mg kreatinin, meningkat menjadi 23,22 ± 13,111 µg/mg kreatinin setelahnya. Ada perbedaan yang bermakna kadar albumin urin sebelum dan setelah latilah intensitas fisik sedang selama 3 minggu (p = 0,000).Ada efek latihan fisik intensitas sedang terhadap kadar albumin urin, sehingga perlu dilakukan penelitian lebih lanjut tentang efek intensitas latihan fisik (seperti; intensitas ringan, sedang dan berat) terhadap kadar albumin urin atau komponen protein urin lainnya

Weather Data Handlings for Tornado Recognition Using mHGN

International audienceThe usage of the mHGN as a pattern recognizer cannot necessarily be used to recognize tornados. Two important issues that need to be solved first are related to data handlings of not-accurately recorded data, and to those of complex weather data. The not-so-appropriate data handlings will produce high false positive and true negative rate of the recognition results. Yet, the latest development of those data handlings has been carried out, and has shown positive and promising results. Such a new approach of data handlings can, therefore, be used to improve the quality and the accuracy of forecasting a tornado. The results taken from a simulated circumstances of a multidimensional pattern recognition have shown, that the tornado can be recognized around 9 h earlier with 90% of accuracy. However, several improvements related to the data representation within the mHGN architecture need to be implemented. The deployment of mHGN in several risky areas of tornados can then be expected as an alternative way of reducing damages, losses, and costs
