Feedback analyses from Chernobyl and Fukushima post-accident situations have clearly emphasized the importance of management strategies for contaminated goods during the days, months and years after the accident. For instance, following the accident, the management of contaminated goods generally focuses on the implementation of protective actions, radiological countermeasures and the control of radioactivity in foodstuffs, in order to ensure the quality and sales of the food products. Then, issues concerning the loss of image of local products can appear, and subsequent strategies have to be taken to restore the consumer confidence. Based on a literature review and interviews performed between 2016 and 2018 with Japanese stakeholders involved in the Fukushima accident recovery, this paper analyses the strategies for the management of contaminated goods which have been implemented in Japan. Divided into three main parts, this paper highlights how producers/livestock breeders, agricultural cooperatives, consumers and even distributors gradually committed themselves to (i) ensure the radiological quality of products by implementing countermeasures and monitoring systems, (ii) maintain sustainable economic activity by encouraging the resumption of agricultural activities and by deploying various sales strategies and try to (iii) restore consumer confidence by initiating producer/consumer dialogues and promotional actions for local products.

AbstrakMakanan adalah salah satu hal penting dalam kehidupan masyarakat. Semakin berkualitas suatu makanan maka dapat menghasilkan sumber daya manusia yang berkualitas juga. Akan tetapi maraknya pemalsuan salah satunya pemalsuan tanggal kadaluarsa mengakibatkan masyarakat harus jeli dan teliti dalam memilih produk. Salah satu makanan yang digemari masyarakat adalah jenis kue dan bolu. Toko Kemuning salah satu toko yang banyak memproduksi jenis-jenis kue tersebut untuk didistribusikan dan dijual sendiri di tokonya. Oleh karena itu, untuk meningkatkan kepercayaan masyakarat terhadap kualitas produk yang dihasilkan oleh Toko Kemuning maka pada penelitian ini dibuat sebuah aplikasi untuk mengelola data produk, dimana konsumen dapat mengecek tanggal kadaluarsa melalui anroid dengan cara scan qr code yang terdapat dalam kemasan kue. Adapun yang digenerate ke dalam bentuk qr code adalah id produk,id tersebut berisi string unik yang dienkripsi menggunakan algoritma vigenere chipper sehingga tidak mudah dideteksi oleh orang lain. Admin dapat melakukan pengelolaan data produk sehingga ketika toko memproduksi kue, data dapat tersimpan di database dan qr code dapat dicetak. Dengan penelitian ini diharapkan dapat meningkatkan kepercayaan konsumen derta menjaga kualitas produk dari toko kemuning.Kata Kunci��Kue, Enkripsi, Algoritma Vigenere Chiper�AbstractFood is one of the important things in people's lives. The more quality a food can produce quality human resources as well. However, the rise of counterfeiting, one of which is falsification of expiration date, causes the public to be observant and careful in choosing products. One of the foods that are favored by the public is a type of cake and sponge cake. Kemuning Shop is one shop that produces many types of cakes to be distributed and sold alone in the store. Therefore, to increase public trust in the quality of products produced by the Kemuning Shop, an application is made to manage product data, where consumers can check the expiration date via anroid by scanning the qr code contained in the cake packaging. As for what is generated in the form of qr code is a product id, the id contains a unique string that is encrypted using the vigenere chipper algorithm so that it is not easily detected by others. Admins can manage product data so that when a shop produces cookies, data can be stored in a database and the QR code can be printed. With this research it is expected to increase consumer confidence and maintain product quality from kemuning shops.�Keywords��Cake, Encription, Vigenere Chiper Algorithm

The introduction of the newest technologies of organic pig breeding has the basic principle of minimizing the use in pigs of chemicals, trace amounts of which in pig production adversely affect the quality of products and the health of consumers. The transition to herbal remedies, the maximum possible rejection of chemical synthesis products, is inhibited, in the main, by the relatively small spectrum of plant compounds with the investigated activity. According to the results of previous studies, six working solutions of Juglans regia L phytosupply extracts - potential phytosine disinfectants were developed: To investigate the bactericidal activity of the experimental preparations of Juglans regia, flushes were made from the internal structures and technological equipment of the housing of the pig stock of the experimental base v. Takhtaulove. Obtained samples of typical banal microflora of the pig complex were mixed to obtain a bacterial-containing suspension averaged over the concentration of microbial bodies and the spectrum of types of microflora in the microbiota. When cultured on nutrient media, with the superficial sowing of a suspension of banal microflora of a pig in the presence of a potential phytodisinfectant, processes of development of individual colonies of the microflora are observed. The amount and intensity of their development, the degree of inhibition of life, assess the level of bactericidal activity of the extracts. The highest bactericidal and fungicidal activity, and consequently, the potential efficacy as a possible disinfectant in the technology of organic pig breeding was revealed by the extracts of phytosupply Juglans regia L No. 2 (extractant - acetic acid to 5 %, nut of wax ripeness) and 4 (extractant, alcohol 20 % nutrient wax ripeness (proven after obtaining the primary extract of up to 5 % alcohol), which have bactericidal properties against gram-positive cocci and gram-negative sticks, but have a weak effect on the spore-forming bacilli. Key words: organic pig breeding, bactericidal activity, phyto-disinfectant, commonplace typical microflora of a pig complex, phyto row materials, walnut extract.

Conventional methods for assessing the quality of components mass produced using injection molding are expensive and time-consuming or involve imprecise statistical process control parameters. A suitable alternative would be to employ machine learning to classify the quality of parts by using quality indices and quality grading. In this study, we used a multilayer perceptron (MLP) neural network along with a few quality indices to accurately predict the quality of “qualified” and “unqualified” geometric shapes of a finished product. These quality indices, which exhibited a strong correlation with part quality, were extracted from pressure curves and input into the MLP model for learning and prediction. By filtering outliers from the input data and converting the measured quality into quality grades used as output data, we increased the prediction accuracy of the MLP model and classified the quality of finished parts into various quality levels. The MLP model may misjudge datapoints in the “to-be-confirmed” area, which is located between the “qualified” and “unqualified” areas. We classified the “to-be-confirmed” area, and only the quality of products in this area were evaluated further, which reduced the cost of quality control considerably. An integrated circuit tray was manufactured to experimentally demonstrate the feasibility of the proposed method.
