Analisis Kadar Siklamat Pada Selai Tidak Bermerek Yang Dijual Di Pasar Tradisional Kota Makassar

The jam is a semi-solid food made from fruit or other processed product. The manufacturing process can add food additives (BTP), one of which is artificial sweeteners such as cyclamate. Cyclamate can be harmful to health if consumed in levels that exceed the maximum limit.The purpose of this research was to identificate and determine the cyclamate content of unbranded jam in the traditional market town of makassar. The type of research used is laboratory observation with simple random sampling technique. This research was conducted qualitatively (depositional method) and quantitatively (gravimetric method). Based on the results of the research from 7 (seven) samples of unmerck jam there were 2 (two) positive samples containing cyclamate with cyclamate levels obtained, namely the K sample 0f 42.273,78 mg/kg and sample T3 of 49, 822. 67 mg/kg. In this study it can be concluded that 2 (two) samples of unbranded jam contained cyclamate levels that exceed the maximum limit set by BPOM No. 4 of 2014, namely 1000 mg/kg and so it is not safe for consumption.

Comparative Study of Vaginitis and Candida in Sexually Active Women in Traditional Sprawling Town in the Niger Delta, South – South Nigeria

This study was carried out to investigate the aetiologic agents of vaginitis in sexually active women in Ikot Ekpene, Akwa Ibom State, Nigeria. The subjects were 150 randomly selected sexually active women attending antenatal, postnatal, gynaecology and family planning clinics in the Department of Obstetrics and Gynaecology of General Hospital Ikot Ekpene, Akwa Ibom State. Two high vaginal swab samples were taken from each pregnant and non-pregnant woman, which translated to 80 samples from pregnant and 70 samples from non-pregnant women. Microscopy and culture including biochemical tests were done for the isolation and identification of organisms. Questionnaires assessing socio-demographic characteristics of the patients were administered. The prevalence of various aetiologic agents was found to be higher in pregnant women than in non-pregnant women. Candida albicans was more prevalent in pregnant women. Twenty eight samples (35.0%) from the pregnant women yielded C. albicans with p < 0.05. Age range of 16-30 years and ≥ 45 years had high prevalence of C. albicans, though more (40%) in pregnant women. While non-pregnant women in the age group 16-30 years had the highest prevalence of G. vaginalis, 8 (26.7%). Among pregnant women, the widowed had a higher prevalence rate of C. albicans, infection (50%) which was not statistically significant. The divorced non-pregnant women had the highest prevalence of C. albicans with p < 0.05 which was statistically significant. This study also revealed that pregnant women in their second trimester of pregnancy had more C. albicans infection, 15 (46.9%) when compared to other trimesters of pregnancy. Women who were pregnant for the first time or primigravidae had higher prevalence of C. albicans, 13 (37.1%) when compared to others. Pregnant women who use contraceptives prior to their recent pregnancies were found to have more infections of G. vaginalis, 14 (93.3%). Non-pregnant women on antibiotics had increased prevalence of C. albicans, 44.4%. The highest prevalence of C. albicans and T. vaginalis, 5 (6.3%) coinfection was seen in pregnant women. Irrespective of the women’s status, none were coinfected with the three microbial agents.

FACILITATING PEDESTRIANIZATION FOR REDEVELOPMENT OF COMMERCIAL PRECINCTS, CASE STUDY AMINABAD, LUCKNOW

The early stages of urban development people tended to focus on solving the problem of vehicular traffic, so now a large number of existing roadways are occupied by vehicles, triggering disputes and problems about pedestrian safety and comfort. Despite its modernistic and functionalistic origins, the pedestrian street became an important theme for many writers interested in the social life, history, scale and aesthetics of the traditional European towns The territorial strategy of the pedestrian precinct is primarily about demarcating a certain territory for pedestrian use, prohibiting car traffic, and limiting cycle traffic within the area. urban growth with sprawl is completely unpleasant and unwanted and the correct solution is “intermediate cities” to integrate all of the suitable aspects in a city. As you considered, this article discusses about pedestrianization and its benefits. In a city with large growth especially in developing countries, one of the cases that usually are neglected is pedestrianisation and attendance of citizens in urban spaces.

The Hierarchical Order of Spaces in Arab Traditional Towns: The Case of Najd, Saudi Arabia

The built environment faces many challenges in accommodating multi-cultural diversity and migrating from the suburbs, which led to different places being isolated or neglected. Sub-identities established by a specific group of people become isolated and away from the shared identity that the built environment established for itself. We examine this issue in the Najdi built environment by examining how Najdi locals generated a holistic hierarchical order of specs. This paper argues that the spatial order encouraged locals to develop a shared and agreed mechanism while in parallel, it gave individuals the ability to modify their places without affecting that shared holistic spatial order.

Housing Affordability in Iwo, Nigeria

Housing is recognized as one of the most important in humans' hierarchy of existential needs. However, access to decent, safe and sanitary housing accommodation at affordable disposal rates has been a mirage to most Nigerians especially the middle and low-income segment of the society. In line with SDG 11 which focuses on sustainable cities and communities, this study explores means of making cities safe and sustainable via access to decent and affordable housing. With a focus on Iwo in Nigeria's Osun State, the study aims to ascertain the extent of the problem as well as the challenges it poses to creating a sustainable built environment. Iwo is a typical Nigerian traditional town that has been transformed by modernity. The study utilizes a comprehensive data set containing socio-economic variables of households as well as indicators of housing characteristics including, cost, rent, size and quality. Primary and secondary data were utilized. The basic data set came from a structured questionnaire that was administered to selected residents of the study area. The systematic sampling technique was used to select buildings at intervals of every twentieth building in the nine wards into which the city was stratified. In all, 1,061 copies of the questionnaires were administered on household heads in the city. Secondary data were sourced from published sources such as the report of the survey of housing units in selected urban towns in Osun State by Osun State Ministry of Finance, journal articles, textbooks and the Internet among others. Frequency tables and percentages were used to explain the results of the study. It is suggested that the institutional framework to promote, enhance and encourage affordable housing provision should be created in the town. Findings establish that high cost of acquiring land (RII = 4.22) is the most important challenge of housing delivery while the least challenging factors affecting housing delivery is lack of critical infrastructures in urban and rural areas of the state (RII = 2.15).

Fire Risk Mitigation at Urban Scale in Commercial Buildings of Kumbakonam Town

Urban growth in old south Indian traditional towns results in overcrowded and chaotic developments which compromises occupant’s safety especially from fire. The fire risk associated in built environment needs to be analyzed by understanding the changes in built form and built environment by a systematic procedure which can support fire mitigation strategies at urban scale. For the purpose of study, Kumbakonam which is a traditional south Indian town with rapid urbanization and change in urban fabric is identified as a case example. The methodology tries to identify problems in selected areas of kumbakonam town from the perspective of fire hazard by identifying commercial typologies in and around the core areas of old towns and analyzing them. This involves documentation of 4 commercial typology buildings selected in core area and analyzing for associated fire risk by comparing with norms outlined by NBC (2016). The purpose of the research is to highlight the presence of fire risks in commercial buildings of kumbakonam with minimum exit widths, increased occupancy load and maximum travel distance of means of egress. The findings can be a prologue to further research and decision making process for the safety of the occupants.

Medical geological study of disease-causing elements in Wassa area of Southwest Ghana.

Insufficient information on the link between health data and geology in developing countries is a major barrier to identify sources of some emerging public health problems. A total of 2868 soil samples were collected from field sheet 0503B in Ghana to evaluate the concentrations and distributions of trace elements and their effects on human health. The samples were sieved to < 106µm fraction and analysed for elements, As, Ba, K, Zn, Co, Cr, Cu, Mn, Ni, Pb, Mg and Fe by XRF technique and Au by fire assay method. The study identified disparities in averages of As, Cr, Fe and Mg, which resulted in enrichment and deficiencies when compared with the worldwide background average. The measured averages for As and Cr were 17.27mg/kg and 89.25mg/kg, respectively, for the entire area. Both averages exceeded the worldwide background values of 10mg/kg and 8mg/kg of As and Cr. The four traditional towns with varied activities recorded As concentrations ranging from 6.11mg/kg at Samreboi, 16.29mg/kg at Asankragwa, 17.42mg/kg at Akropong and 25.99mg/kg at Bogoso. Principal component analysis revealed a good association among Ba, Cr, Cu, Fe, K, Ni, Pb and Zn in Group 1, and their main source was interpreted as the underlying geology. Arsenic, Cr and Mg in Group 2 show a relatively weak correlation, and their sources were ascribed to a combination of geologic and anthropogenic sources. Gold had a good correlation with As, which was associated with the hydrothermal veins in the underlying rocks. The spatial plots generated from transformed soil data by Getis Ord Gi* treatments were visual methods to clearly identify geographically the hotspots and coldspots of elements that cause diseases.

Research on Architectural Landscape Culture of Zhuang Ethnic Villages in Northern Guangxi

The traditional village architecture of ethnic minorities is an important carrier to inherit and develop the traditional culture of local minorities, which records the course of the development of minority nationalities in thousands of years. It is the most direct national cultural heritage. With the vigorous implementation of the protection of the material and cultural heritage of the traditional villages and towns in the whole world, the research on the architectural landscape of the traditional minority villages has been strengthened day by day. In this paper, the architectural structure, landscape, development status and protection measures of Zhuang villages in northern Guangxi are analyzed. The research and analysis of Zhuang village architecture in northern Guangxi is of great significance for inheriting and carrying forward the traditional culture of minority nationalities and strengthening the cohesion of the people of all nationalities.

Spicing Up a 150‐Year‐Old Porcelain Factory: Art, Localism and Transnationalism in Arita's Happy Lucky Kiln

The Kouraku Kiln, a 150‐year‐old Japanese porcelain factory in the traditional rural pottery town of Arita, has been struggling with the economic decline brought by the burst of the bubble in the mid‐1990s, rural migration and changes in lifestyle and tastes. Using ethnographic fieldwork, I look at the independent innovative activities that the Kouraku Kiln factory has put into place to overcome such problems: an artist‐in‐residence program and a treasure hunt, both coordinated by Brazilian ceramic artist and cultural agitator Sebastião Pimenta. By making use of the local history, identity, and infrastructure to attract visitors from all over the world to the production site, Kouraku Kiln has changed its focus from its products by selling knowledge and experiences. Besides contributing to the revitalization of the local economy, the constant presence of Pimenta and other international artists at the factory has added to the creation of multicultural exchanges in the local community, raising issues about social integration and local citizenship. With this case study, I aim to add to discussions about the revitalization of rural places and the regeneration of Japanese traditional crafts through the acknowledgment of globalization and mobility. By addressing issues related to the impact of transnational flows in rural communities, this article argues for the contributions of migrants in their communities of destination and examines the transforming relationships between art, society, and local development.

Corporate Culture Management Strategy Under the Background of the “Belt and Road Initiative”

With the introduction of the “Belt and Road” diplomatic strategy, the nation or country along the way is rich in ecology and diverse in language and customs. It is a traditional cross-cultural research town. Based on a series of literature collation methods, this paper puts forward the concept of comprehensive culture management (TCM), which maximizes the role and intensity of corporate culture and realizes more humanization. Describes four main aspects of integrated cultural management: strategy, organizational process management, communication management, and human resource management. On the basis of comprehensive cultural management, six cultural management strategies were proposed in the context of the “Belt and Road Initiative” initiative. Through six key strategies, we will contribute to better management of corporate culture in the context of the “Belt and Road Initiative” initiative.

Területi és társadalmi változások a magyarországi iparvárosokban 1990-2018 között

In my study I intend to give a detailed analysis of social transformations of the past 27 years in Hungarian industrial towns (former ‘socialist’ towns). The array of urban functions and activities has undergone a significant modification in the so-called traditional industrial towns (11), which resulted not merely in spatial and economic structural changes but furthermore in notable social ones as well. In the case of several towns social realignments (Tatabánya, Várpalota, Oroszlány), population loss (Dunaújváros, Salgótarján), as well as the emergence of new social groups in consequence of new activities undertaken (Százhalombatta, Ajka, Várpalota) occurred. Simultaneously local community initiatives commenced with the goal of finding viable roles for these towns and their residents; for some groups within the towns, while for others temporarily or permanently through relocation to other settlements. Thus the current survey primarily concerns itself with those social issues which have initiated and brought novel changes and developments in the towns under consideration in their local economies and at various levels of their communities.

Design and Implementation of Community-based Hazard Mapping Support System for Traditional Towns with Local Heritage

This paper describes the design and trial development of a system that supports continuous hazard mapping by local residents in their daily life. We performed an interview survey to design our system in a model traditional town in Saga Prefecture, Japan. The results show that despite continued efforts, many practical problems remain and residents feel unsafe. Considering these results, we designed and developed a unique information and communication technology-based support system that contributes to community-based disaster prevention and reduction. The continuous resident participation and posting design are the core concept for our community-based approach. Our system continues to support making a hazard map by integrating the community-based hazard information. Local residents register information (disaster types, risk level, photographs, comments, positional information) about locations that could be dangerous in a disaster. In addition, our system enables information sharing through a Web server. We expect that this information sharing will allow local hazard information for each district to be used.

Residential Quality of Inner-City of a Traditional Town in Southwestern Nigeria

This study investigates the socio-economic background of inhabitants of the inner-city of a traditional town in Southwestern Nigeria. The paper highlights survey on high density area of Ondo. Both primary and secondary data were utilized for the study. There are twelve (12) political wards in the study area out of which five (5) political wards fall under areas covered by the core. However, three wards were selected and these political wards became the sample frame. Systematic sampling technique was used in selecting residents to be sampled. The first building was chosen randomly. Subsequent unit of investigation was every 10th residential building in each ward. Therefore, a total of 196 copies of questionnaires were administered out of which all copies were retrieved for the study. Sources of secondary data included maps from Planning Office, journals, conference proceedings, unpublished thesis and books. Data collected were analyzed using Statistical Package for the Social Sciences version 23. Both descriptive and inferential tools were used to analyze the data collected. Findings revealed that environmental variables are significantly associated to the condition of the wellness of inhabitants in the area. The paper recommends some policy guidelines, including total demolition (in some parts of the area), rehabilitation and delivery of fundamental infrastructures and services. The study also recommends that both government and non-governmental agencies to take driving involvement in the upgrading strategy especially in the area of enlightenment and financial backing.

Preserving the Characteristics of Urban Heritage: An insight into the concept of Malaysian Royal Towns

Royal towns in Malaysia are the finest examples of traditional Malay towns, which are strongly associated with the long history of Malay Sultanates in Malaysia. This study aims to identify the significant characteristics that perhaps homogenously shared by the Malaysian Royal Towns to be inferred as the symbol and identity of the place. The study begins with thorough literature reviews of historical Malay manuscripts for some insights into how the traditional Malay towns were during the early 14th to the 19th century. From this, the study managed to identify three prominent characteristics that shaped the whole physical images of Malaysian Royal Towns. These characteristics are known as the king’s palace, traditional Malay settlements known as kampongs and lastly, traditional Malay fortification system. Nevertheless, these characteristics are being threatened due to improper planning and modernisation of the Royal Towns. A conventional conservation approach, however, seems insufficient to address the whole idea of a Malaysian Royal Town. These identified characteristics, in this case, are interrelated and thus required in-depth study of each Royal Town to investigate the traditional knowledge lies within the culture and a new comprehensive in-depth method of conservation and preservation in order to sustain the image of the place as a cradle of the Malay civilisation.

Danish secondary schools 1880–1950: national legislative framework and local implementation

ABSTRACTThis article analyses and compares local people’s and communities’ strategies when implementing a national legislative framework in secondary schools in Denmark, 1880–1950, focusing particularly on the history of the school creation and survival process. For the purposes of this study, three different kinds of cities with secondary schools are examined: a traditional market town, a new provincial town, and a railway town. The article explains how headmasters and school managers in different education landscapes acted in these contexts and found a niche in the local education market amongst other local schools, thereby securing the existence of the school. In all three cases, the municipality played an important role in the survival of the venture school. However, it was also important to maintain a good relationship with the parents who provided the school with the pupils and the communities to which the school belonged.
