Hanya Hakim yang Bersih dan Kompeten yang Layak Adili Koruptor !

The role of judge is undeniably important in eradicating the phenomenon of corruption and colution. Despite of that, the judge’s integrity has been tainted by the fact that they also involved, in direct or indirect manner,  in those practices. Regarding that, the writer contemplatively ask, “should we expect dirty broom could clean up dirty floor”.In order to avoid that, the writer are in favour with the idea of setting up special chambers for corruption cases and also nominating judges especially assigned to execute that job. However, it is reminded there are some factors which are still worth-considered prior the nomination of the candidates  to fill that position

Antibacterial and Antioxidant Activity of Protein Hydrolysate Extracted from different Indonesian Avian Egg White

White egg contains the most significant protein source that has been explored to give more benefit for health purposes.  This study evaluated the potential of antibacterial and antioxidant activity of white egg protein hydrolysate extracted from Indonesian avian eggs.  The avian egg materials used local Indonesian chicken eggs (kampung chicken), chicken breed eggs, duck eggs, and muscovy duck eggs.  The white egg was extracted by organic solvent and produced protein extracted which was dominated by ovalbumin and ovotransferrin.  The protein extracted was hydrolyzed by pepsin and then powdered using a freeze dryer.  Antibacterial and antioxidant activity was evaluated by agar well diffusion technique and 2,2-Diphenyl-1-picryl hydroxyl (DPPH) radical scavenging method.  All samples showed antimicrobial activity against Salmonella sp., Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus aureus, Bacillus cereus, and Bacillus subtilis with a concentration of protein hydrolysate at 40 mg/mL.  The antioxidant activity between avian species was different and dose-dependent.  Protein hydrolysate extracted from duck white egg exhibited the highest radical scavenging activity (65%) at 10 mg/mL concentration.  However, all white egg protein hydrolysate extracted from Indonesian avian eggs can potentially help reduce oxidation and microbial deterioration

Rancangan Implementasi Manajemen Database pada Background Process Menggunakan CrondManager sebagai Upaya Peningkatan Performance dan Keamanan Data secara Online: Studi Kasus PT. YZI

Processing of data efficiently will adversely impact the live cycle time applications. However, on the other hand the concern related to management and structured data is still lacking, so that such a bad impact of system downtime. This happens because the delivery mechanism for data that does not correspond to the role of business models and applications. PT.

The Effect of Remote Ischemic Preconditioning in Diabetic Patients After Elective Percutaneus Coronary Intervention

Background Experimental and clinical investigations suggest that reperfusion is considered ‘a double-edged sword', as reperfusion would restore oxygen and nutrients supply to the ischemic myocardium to improve its functional recovery, but in the other hand reperfusion could augment myocardial ischemic damage, known as myocardial ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) injury. The brief and repeated cycles of I/R given at a distant organ before a sustained ischemia and reperfusion, known as remote ischemic preconditioning (RIPC), would protect the heart from lethal I/R injury. Objective The effect of ischemic preconditioning in a diabetic heart is a contradictory whether it could improve or worsen the damage degree of myocardial I/R injury, as reported by some previous studies. These inconsistent reports need further studies. Methods Twenty-four diabetic patients with stable CAD undergoing elective percutaneus coronary intervention were randomly assigned to 2 groups: 14 patients submitted to RIPC and 10 patients were control group. We induced RIPC by inflating a blood pressure cuff placed on the upper limb to 20 mmHg above systolic arterial pressure for 5 min and deflating the cuff for 5 min; 4 cycles were performed. All patients had CK-MB level measured at baseline and 18-24 hours after the elective PCI. Myocardial injury was considered when post-PCI CK-MB level rose up to 1-3 fold of the upper normal limit. Results A higher proportion in control group (40%) experienced myocardial injury, compared with the group receiving RIPC (0%) (p = 0.02). The mean of baseline CK-MB was equal in both control and RIPC groups (19.07 ± 2.84 and 17.5 ± 2.32, respectively; p = 0.165). While the mean of post-PCI CK-MB level in two groups differed significantly (34.2 ± 10.43 and 24.42 ± 4.03, respectively; p = 0.017). Conclusions RIPC lower the incidence of myocardial injury in diabetic patients after elective percutaneus coronary intervention. These data suggest that diabetic patients still gain protection of RIPC
