Good Agreement

Abstract The official AOAC method, section 22.012, and the dried fruit moisture tester method for determining moisture in raisins have been collaboratively studied. There is good agreement between the 2 methods with less than ± 1% moisture difference being noted in the 10–20% range. Results indicate that the dried fruit moisture charts are accurate throughout their temperature range. It is recommended that the dried fruit moisture tester method be adopted as official first action for the determination of moisture in raisins.

Spirituality is a concept that is recently getting increased attention. Often misunderstood or confused with other concepts such as religion or culture, it has a broader meaning and transcends culture, religion, and geographic boundaries. The importance of spirituality in patient care remains controversial amongst providers. An integrative review of the literature was conducted to examine the impact of spirituality on health outcomes. Literature was searched over a 20 year period using CINAHL and PUBMED. The framework that guided this project was Martha Rogers’s Theory of Unitary Human Being that focuses on the interaction between individuals and their environment. In the method section, terms often confused with spirituality were described. Ten articles that described the effects of spirituality on health outcomes and that met the inclusion and exclusion criteria were analyzed. The included literature was critiqued using the Polit and Beck appraisal tool and presented in tables, then a cross-analysis of these articles was conducted and described. The literature supported that there are numerous positive outcomes, physical or psychological associated with spirituality. The implications and recommendations for advanced practice were also discussed.

There was many reliability system research with several research method. Each method have their adventages and disadventages, such as Section Technique method and RIA method. Section Technique method have adventage in its easy calculation, while RIA method use momentary failure rate parameter in its calculation so its final result almost similar to research place. Based on calculation result with Section Technique method found that SAIFI value of Kampus feeder network is 0,085 times / customer / years and SAIDI value of Kampus feeder network is 0,107 minutes / customer / years. After add momentary failure rate parameter to the calculatio, found that SAIFI value of Kampus feeder network is increase to 0,094 times / customer / years and SAIDI value of Kampus feeder network is increase to 0,162 minutes / customer / years.

Abstract.—Burbot <em>Lota lota </em>meat is nutritious and low in fat, and burbot liver oil is high in vitamins. However, burbot is not popular as a food fish in much of North America due to its appearance and because the meat has a relatively short shelf life. We present results from sensory panels on fried burbot meat that had been frozen and stored for 5 months with three methods: (1) dipping meat in liquid nitrogen, followed by storage at –80°C; (2) direct storage at –80°C; and (3) direct storage at –18°C. Panelists scored fried samples for tenderness, juiciness, fishy flavor, and overall desirability. In addition, texture (peak force at maximum compression and work performed) and color (lightness and a- and b-hues) of uncooked, defrosted meat (anterior and posterior sections, with and without skin removed) were measured instrumentally. Fried samples that had been directly stored at –80°C were scored by panelists as most tender, most juicy, and most desirable overall. Panelists also scored fried samples that had been directly stored at –80°C as less fishy tasting than samples frozen at –18°C. Freezing method, section of fillet, and presence/absence of skin had no effect on either texture variable or on any color variable measured. Posterior sections of burbot meat had higher levels of a-hue and b-hue than anterior sections. The relatively intermediate values of overall desirability combined with the results from other studies suggest that prepared products from frozen burbot meat may be better suited for commercial sale than frozen fillets.
