Soursop mountain (Annona montana Macf) is a genus of Annonaceae, which contains metabolite compounds and antioxidant activity. Mountain soursop fermentation process is carried out with the addition of yeast Saccharomyces cereviciae which can convert carbohydrates into ethanol and organic acid.. The study is aimed at knowing the impact of the duration of the fermentation on the Soursop mountain on physical and chemical characteristics as a natural preservative. The study involves three stages, beginning with the production of mountain-source-juice, then fermentation, and testing of physical characteristics involving organoleptic (colour, aroma, taste, and texture), pH, and viscosity, whereas on the chemical characteristic that is total acid. Research data is analyzed by the One Way Anova method when there is a valid influence followed by the Post Hoc Tukey at real levels α=5%. Changes in physical and chemical grade values include organoleptic (yellow whiteness, aroma scent of the tape, a slightly thick liquid texture (soft) and no gloating, a very sour taste, a 3,86 pH value, a viscosity 583,33 cp, and a total acetate acid 0,4281%.Keywords: Annona Montana; fermentation ;Saccharomyces cereviciae

ABSTRACT Objective This study evaluated the flow, pH and calcium release of MTA Fillapex (G1) or Fillapex plus 10% in weight of calcium hydroxide powder (G2), compared to AH Plus (G3) and Sealapex (G4). Materials and methods The flow test was performed according to ISO 6876:2001 requirements. The sealers were placed into plastic tubes and immersed in deionized water. After 24 hours, 7, 14 and 28 days, the water of each tube was removed and tested to evaluate the pH values and the level of released calcium. Calcium release values were analyzed statistically by Kruskal Wallis and Dunn tests and pH values analyzed by ANOVA and Tukey tests (α = 5%). Results G1 presented higher flow among all sealers. The addition of 10% calcium hydroxide into MTA Fillapex reduced the flow (p < 0.05) but, in a level, that is lower than the one recommended for ISO norms. G2 and G4 presented pH values and calcium release higher than G3 (p < 0.05) in all periods. G1 presented pH value higher than G3 (p < 0.05), except in 7 days period (p > 0.05). G4 presented higher pH values than G1 and G2, but the calcium release was similar for all periods (p > 0.05). G3 presented lower calcium release among all groups (p < 0.05). Conclusion The addition of 10% calcium hydroxide in MTA Fillapex caused reduction in flow and no negative interference in pH and/or calcium release. However, the obtained flow is different from ISO requirements. Clinical relevance MTA Fillapex presents levels of flow above the ISO norms. The addition of calcium hydroxide is a suggestion for solving this problem, but the impact of these procedures should be carefully evaluated.

SummaryThe main aim of this research was to compare differences in heart rate values (HR) of soccer players during small-sided games (SSGs) with different number of players. We assumed that the number of “neutral” player or players in small-sided games will significantly affect the intensity of SSGs and in this case the heart rate values of participating players. The experimental group consisted of older junior players from the FC DAC 1904 Dunajská Streda soccer club (n = 9). The heart rate values were evaluated on the basis of collected data, which we obtained using Polar sport testers and special software Polar Team2. In order to find out the statistical significance of the difference in heart rate was used the One-Way ANOVA and the Bonferroni post hoc test. The level of statistical significance we set at 5 %. We found out that with increasing number of “neutral” players’ the intensity of small-sided games gradually decreased. During SSG1 (3 vs. 3), we recorded the highest achieved average heart rate values of the monitored players, in average 171.33 ± 9.39 beats.min-1. This form of the SSGs was the most intense, but not statistically significant. Our recommendation is to employ SSGs in the systematic training process with different number of players, because we can adequately prepare the players for the match load itself. Attention need to be paid for the playing position requirements.

Generation sub-groups have been and continue to be stereotyped as requiring different approaches in the workplace and elsewhere with regard to what keeps them motivated and satisfied. Two measuring instruments were distributed electronically to all staff of a South African Facilities Management firm. The one-way ANOVA was conducted with post-hoc tests to establish which factors display statistically significant differences between generations. The findings demonstrated that certain generation sub-groups have preferences for different types of reward, reward categories, and have different perceptions about what types of reward attracts, motivates and retains employees. The main recommendation is that the company needs to adopt a flexible approach to reward and recognition that allows employees to tailor their reward structure to their own needs.

The continuous obstacle of Dictyophora indusiata has become the one of the main factors affecting the healthy development of D. indusiata industry. In order to study the effects of continuous cropping of D. indusiata on the soil environment, four treatments were used in this study: no planted (CK), planted for 1 years (1Y), continuous cropping for 2 years (2Y) and continuous cropping for 3 years (3Y), to determined of the yield of D. indusiata, soil physical and chemical properties, microbial content and enzyme activity. The results showed that the yield and soil pH value decreased with the increase of continuous cropping years, and the contents of organic matter, total nitrogen, total phosphorus and total potassium, C/N and C/P also increased with the increase of continuous cropping years. Soil availability decreased with the increase of continuous cropping years, the content of alkaline nitrogen, available phosphorus and available potassium decreased by 12.25%, 28.91% and 24.86% at 3Y compared with 1Y, respectively. The biomass of bacteria, actinomycetes and fungi and the total amount of microorganism in soil increased at 1Y compared with CK, but with the increase of continuous cropping years, the biomass of bacteria and actinomycetes and the total amount of microorganism decreased significantly, while the biomass of fungi increased significantly; the continuous cropping of D. indusiata also decreased the value of bacteria/fungi in soil. The enzyme activities of the soil were higher than those of the unplanted plots, however, the activities of urease, catalase, peroxidase, sucrase, phosphatase and protease decreased with the increase of continuous cropping years. In a word, with the increase of continuous cropping, the acidity of rhizosphere soil increased, the availability of soil nutrients and the activity of soil enzymes decreased, the biomass of soil microorganisms, bacteria and actinomycetes decreased. However, the increase of fungal biomass led to the decline of soil texture.

This research was conducted to determine the effectiveness test of papaya leaf extract with a concentration of 10%, 20%, 30%, 40%, 50%, 60%, 70%, 80% and 90% and 100% against staphylococcus epidermidis bacteria. Staphylococcus epidermidis is a gram-positive bacterium in the form of cocci and is harmful to humans. This research was conducted with an experimental method with a post-test only design and sampling with a purposive sampling method. The investigation of the effectiveness of papaya leaf extract against staphylococcus epidermidis was done by diffusion using paper discs, namely by calculating the diameter of the bacterial inhibition zone of paper discs that have been moistened with papaya leaf extract. The results of this study were analyzed out with the One-Way ANOVA test followed by the Post Hoc Test. The test showed that there were significant differences from each treatment given with a 95% confidence index. The bacteria treated with papaya leaf extract 100% against staphylococcus epidermidis had the highest average inhibitory zone power compared to other concentrations of 14.97 mm. The papaya leaf extract 100% has the best antibacterial effect compared to other concentrations because the best inhibitory zone power is found on those extract concentrations.

Religious harmony has become a fundamental challenge in a pluralistic society like Indonesia. Although this diversity has in many ways created space for cooperation, interfaith contestation remains open and prone to conflict. This article discusses religious contestation in rural area Kuningan, West Java, between Muslims and Madraism. a local syncretic religious stream, on the one hand, and Catholicism on the other. The work is aimed at explaining why, and how the contestation occurs, and what is the impact of the contestation on social life. The research data obtained through observation and interviews with certain individuals who were selected through purposive non-random sampling technique. The study finds out that the competition began with differences in views between two local Islamic religious leaders, Muhammad Thohir and Muhammad Rais, which led to heretical assumptions about Muhammad Rais and his followers (Madraism) which was followed by pressure and intimidation. To “save” their religious beliefs, Madraists converted to Catholicism. However, the conversion is not complete as the followers are reluctant to get baptized because they still want to practice their old beliefs. Such conversion, thus, simply to protect themselves from external pressures.

The present study aims to investigate the impact of biodiesel-diesel-bioethanol (BDE) blended fuel on the degradation behavior of elastomers such as nitrile rubber (NBR) and polytetrafluroethylene (PTFE). Static immersion test in B20D75E5 blends (20% biodiesel, 75% diesel and 5% bioethanol) at 50°C for 200 h was carried out. At the end of immersion test, degradation behaviour of elastomers was investigated by measuring mass, volume and hardness. The exposed surface of elastomers was studied using optical microscope (OM). Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy was carried out to identify the chemical and structural changes in the elastomers. Moreover, physical and chemical characteristics of the fuel blend after the immersion test such as total acid number (TAN), density and colour change were also investigated. Results showed that the degradation of NBR was high compared to PTFE.

Purpose Employee engagement studies are popular in contemporary research because of the complexity organizations face in nurturing the performance and productivity of multi-generations of workers. The purpose of this paper is to assess association of age and dimensions of work engagement. Design/methodology/approach In total, 181 participants completed the Utrecht Work Engagement Scale (UWES) to measure work engagement including the dimensions of absorption, vigor and dedication as well as demographics. One-way ANOVA and post hoc tests were conducted to examine the relationship between age and work engagement. Findings Employees 50 years of age and older were found to have statistically significant higher work engagement scores than the employees under the age of 50. Statistically significant scores were also found to be higher in absorption and dedication. Originality/value The workforce is aging with older employees becoming larger populations in organizations. Understanding how age influences employee work engagement supports human capital management strategy within organizations. HR professionals can also use the findings to develop targeted employee engagement to leverage the dedication and talents of older employees.
