AbstractAspergillus oryzae (A. oryzae) is a filamentous micro-fungus that is used from centuries in fermentation of different foods in many countries all over the world. This valuable fungus is also a rich source of many bioactive secondary metabolites. Moreover, A. oryzae has a prestigious secretory system that allows it to secrete high concentrations of proteins into its culturing medium, which support its use as biotechnological tool in veterinary, food, pharmaceutical, and industrial fields. This review aims to highlight the significance of this valuable fungus in food industry, showing its generosity in production of nutritional and bioactive metabolites that enrich food fermented by it. Also, using A. oryzae as a biotechnological tool in the field of enzymes production was described. Furthermore, domestication, functional genomics, and contributions of A. oryzae in functional production of human pharmaceutical proteins were presented. Finally, future prospects in order to get more benefits from A. oryzae were discussed.

Cryogenic technologies in biology and medicine Current tendencies of the development of cryogenic technologies in the world practice and in Ukraine have been comparatively analyzed. A special attention has been paid to cryotechnologies in biology and medicine. The features of deriving the biologically active ingredients of natural raw materials by means of cryosublimation fractionation and extraction of lipid fractions with liquefied refrigerants, as well as perspectives of their application when obtaining the products of new generation in pharmacy, cosmetics, food industry have been considered. There were discussed the possibilities of human whole body extreme cryotherapy. Main aspects of its usage in practical public health have been considered.

Anti-Muslim emotions are not new for the world. It was present since the rise of Islam. West was furious after facing Muslims in battle ground and constantly defeated by those who were less equipped but obtained high morals. Initially they were frightened due to the novelty and unique approach of faith and its execution, therefore, they try to fabricate the original manuscripts, making false stories and molesting the last prophet’s life history. Islamophobia transformed after 9/11 and become more intensified and dangerous. It effected the common men worldwide without any boundaries. The respective research is based on the fact that hatred is the negative notion whether it related with nobility or wicked perception. It creates harmful effects on human psychology which subsequently created abusive mindset and actions. When any form of ideology identified as phobia means uncontrolled envy combine with the concept and turn it into a form of frenzied connotation. The fight between East and West was ancient which now convert among religions particularly Islam and others. The research is intend to provide the journey of anti-Islamism from past to present as well its significant elements and its present state. It also discusses the future prospects of clash of religions.

Technological developments have left people tend to get used to working with the aid of automatic devices. The research that led to the automation has also been developed such as the detection of acid-base degree. The detector uses an Arduino Uno microcontroller components as the brains to run the program, and the pH sensor (Power of Hydrogen) as input that detect the state of a solution. In this solution and research tool used can be planned a new system. The system uses a microcontroller as a liaison between chemistry with the world of electrical technology. Produce percentage is almost close to perfect, as evidenced by the accuracy of the output of which is detected by a detector. In this study, the authors designed a detector-based acid-base arduino uno. The aim is to produce an acid-base detector with high accuracy than litmus paper sold in the market. With the alkaline acid detection devices are expected to ease the food industry, restaurants, and households in the detection of acid-base automatically. With an accuracy of ± 0.5 pH (25˚C).

Dr Wray's comments are, of course, very appropriate and encouraging. Aflatoxin was first detected in food commodities from other parts of the world. As concentrations in other parts of the world have usually been higher, little attention has been paid to the possibility of aflatoxin exposure in humans in the United States except by those who are directly involved in monitoring the human food supply (US Department of Agriculture, the food industry, and the US Food and Drug Administration).

Spirulina is one of the most highly-demanded and popular dietary supplements in the world. It is widely used in healthy nutrition both as a colorant and as a nutrient additive containing a large number of useful trace elements and vitamins. Spirulina is also used to create photosensitizers for photodynamic therapy, which is used to treat cancer and other diseases. Our objective was to conduct experiments and evaluate the eff ect of Spirulina solutions on the histological characteristics of Danio rerio organs. We tested the eff ect of Spirulina on adult fi sh Danio rerio in an acute 96-hour experiment at concentrations of: 0,1; 1,0, 10,0; 30,0; 100,0 mg/l. Afterwards, the histological micro-preparations obtained from the liver, intestines, kidneys, ovaries, and gills of the striped Danio were examined. The studies of the preparations have shown that the maximum allowable concentration of Spirulina solution for fi sh is 3 mg/l. These data can be used in hydrobiology for water disinfection methods, in ichthyopathology for fi sh treatment, and in food industry toxicology. Therefore, when using it for disinfection of water in the reservoir, aquatic invertebrates and fi sh will not be aff ected and sharp changes in the biocenosis of the reservoir are not expected.

Looking at the historical flow of Islamic development in Indonesia as such, the author took an analysis that the future prospects of Islam in Indonesia have a great opportunity to continue to develop, be it in the fields of politics, economics, education, social, and culture. This can be seen from the history of Islam in Indonesia that continues to develop until now, this is the early stage of the emergence of awareness of the Indonesian nation of the importance of planting religious values in Indonesian society so that the Indonesian nation can meet the future not only with science and technology but also in the balance by IMTAQ.  The era of globalization in the 21st century that has begun at this time, Islam in Indonesia has apparently exerted a huge influence on the advancement of Islam in the world. Although the existence of Islam today is really faced with a fairly severe challenge that requires the involvement of various parties concerned. With regard to this, strategic efforts need to be made, among others: by providing knowledge, skills, and piety in all fields (religious, political, economic, social, cultural, educational) so as to give birth to creative, innovative, independent and productive people considering the world to come is a competitive world. Keywords: Islam, The Future, Indonesia

When Dr. Richard Feynman first gave the good news in 1959 that nanotechnology was on its way to change or perhaps transform the world of technology, many people might have considered his concepts too futuristic to be realized. Criminals, on the other hand, would not have known how effective nanotechnological tools would become in solving crimes in a few decades. Among some of the medical applications of the technology are drug production, diagnostics, and production of medical as well as forensic tools and devices. Forensic science can be described as the sum of scientific tests or techniques used in the investigation of crimes. This chapter is, therefore, aimed at introducing and discussing nanotechnology as applied in forensic science along with instrumentation used in performing nano-analysis. The future prospects of the technology as employed in forensic science and toxicity of nanomaterials are also dealt with in this chapter.
