An alcoholic beverage contains ethyl alcohol or ethanol (C2H5OH)that is produced from fermentation or distillation of sugars. In many cases, either producers or consumers add ethanol with denaturated alcohol containing methanol (CH3OH) as an additive. Methanol can cause blindness and induce comas, and it is deadly in high doses. This study aimed at investigating the presence of methanol or methyl alcohol in alcoholic beverages sold in Palembang, Indonesia. Seventeen samples collected from small shops and supermarkets were taken by accidental sampling. A chromotropic acid method was used to examine the presence of methanol. The results showed that there were 18% of the samples was positive, and 82% was negative. Based on alcohol content, the research showed that all (100%) samples of group A were negative; 33% of group B was positive, and 33% of group C was positive. The study indicated that methanol was still present in alcoholic drinks sold in markets. The government should inform the society that denatured alcohol contains methanol and, therefore, should not be feasible to consume.

Aims A historical overview of the relation between Norwegian alcohol policy and problems caused by different alcoholic beverages during the last two centuries. Results & Conclusions The main thesis is that the concrete shaping of Norwegian alcohol policy changes according to the beverage which is supposed to cause most harm. Traditionally, this beverage has been liquor, and the Norwegian alcohol policy has mainly been occupied with the evils of spirits. Problems following from the consumption of beer and wine have been seen as relatively modest. At times, these weaker beverages have been viewed as a temperate alternative to the stronger spirits. After WWII, the government chose a policy which tended to favour wine over liquor and beer. Wine consumption was related to a somewhat more sophisticated and cultural sphere than the rude consumption of beer and spirits.

Introduction: Early rehabilitation of patients with cementless total hip arthroplasty (cTHA) includes different physical modalities and pulsed low frequency magnetic field (PLFMF), which effects have not been explored yet. Objective: To investigate the effects of PLFMF which was applied in different doses in early rehabilitation of patients with cTHA. Method: Prospective, controlled, clinical study included 90 patients, divided in three groups with 30 patients each. First two groups were treated with high (group A) or low (group B) doses of PLFMF, in addition to kinesitherapy. Control group C was treated only with kinesitherapy. Study was completed in three weeks. Results: Subjects of group A had significantly lower pain than group B (p<0.01) and group C (p<0.001) subjects in the first postoperative week. Pain in group B subjects was significantly lower than in group C in all three postoperative weeks (p<0.01). In relation to other two groups, subjects of group A had higher hip Harris score values at the end of the third postoperative week (p<0.05), and they were faster on 10-meter distance at the end of the first postoperative week (p<0.01). Conclusion: PLFMF used in low and high doses for patients with cTHA had significant effects on pain abatement, especially at higher doses. Improvement of function was earlier and more manifested in the group treated with high doses of PLFMF.

ABSTRACTThe research was conducted based on the same authority which is ownedby the two institutions, namely Food and Drug Administration of the Republic ofIndonesia and Bali Provicial Government in monitoring and controlling ofalcoholic beverages in Bali.The results of this study demonstrate the Food and Drug Administrationand the Provincial Government of Bali have the same authority to supervise andcontrol alcoholic beverages in Bali. Bali Local Government Regulation Number 5of 2012 on the Circulation of Alcoholic Beverage Control only requires each hasa label on alcoholic beverages issued by the Government of Bali has to bedistributed to the public, while the authority of the Food and Drug Administrationis regulated in the Regulation of Minister of Health of the Republic of IndonesiaNumber 382/MENKES/PER/VI/1989 on Registration of Food that requires allfood produced both by local producers and imported foods are required to beregistered to the Ministry of Health through the Food and Drug Administration.In the Regulation Number 5 Year 2012 did not include the authority of theFood and Drug Administration (the Empty Norms) so that the Food and DrugAdministration can not perform optimally the law enforcement againstmanufacturers, distributors and sellers of alcoholic beverages in violation. Tocope with the condition it should be a amendment in the Bali ProvincialRegulation Number 5 of 2012 by stating firmly and clearly the authority of theFood and Drug Administration related to the registration of food, which requiresthat for all foods and beverages that will be distributed to the public must beregistered to the Ministry of Health through the Food and Drug Administration.

Objective.Intravenous cyclophosphamide (IV CYC) in combination with high doses of corticosteroids is considered the “gold standard” of therapy for lupus nephritis (LN). However, the optimal dose of corticosteroids needed has not been defined. We evaluated the efficacy of a monotherapy with IV CYC in patients with a first episode of LN (duration ≤ 6 months).Methods.Forty patients with LN received IV CYC (12 pulses). Prednisone alone was administered and dose-adjusted to control extrarenal manifestations. Response after 24 months was defined as normalization of creatinine level, inactive urinary sediment, and proteinuria ≤ 0.2 g/day [complete response (CR)] or ≤ 0.5 g/day [partial response (PR)].Results.CR was achieved in 25 (62.5%) and PR in 8 (20%) patients. Mean starting dose of prednisone was 23.9 ± 23.8 mg/day. In a posthoc analysis, we separately analyzed patients initially treated with prednisone doses ≥ 20 mg/day (Group A, n = 19) or < 20 mg/day (Group B, n = 21). CR was achieved in 52.6% (Group A) versus 71.4% (Group B; p = 0.37); and PR in 26.3% versus 14.3%, respectively (p = 0.58). During longterm followup (10.4 ± 3.1 yrs), 37.8% experienced a renal flare. Thirty patients (81%) still have normal renal function. Renal outcome was irrespective of initial prednisone doses (p = 0.46, Pearson chi-square test of independence).Conclusion.Our rates of CR and PR and longterm outcomes were comparable with rates after treatment with a combination of IV CYC with high doses of corticosteroids. These data warrant randomized controlled trials evaluating different doses of corticosteroids in LN.

The current rise in alcoholic trade, in small roadside stalls, even among them has been openly trading alcohol. This results in the ease with which people get liquor. Including the alcoholic trade which is not accompanied by knowledge of the type of alcoholic beverage itself. Many of them do not understand the type of alcohol they can drink or not. Circulation of liquor at this time has not been handled properly, due to the lack of law enforcement against liquor sellers, so that with the easy sale of liquor that is still running it results in children who participate in becoming consumers and consuming liquor so that it has a negative impact on child growth and development. The number of alcoholic parties is certainly not just happening, the ease of people getting liquor makes some people easily drink alcohol. If we look at a number of events, this alcoholic party is carried out by a group of elderly people to high school children who are only a dozen years old. This happens because people can buy liquor easily at convenience stores. The ease of access to liquor is then one of the factors supporting the many alcoholic party events in the community. Another supporting factor from the rise of alcoholic parties in the Cigending Village community is the circulation of illegal alcohol in the community. One of the behaviors of children who reach adolescence is to show their true identity to friends or the environment, with environmental behavior that is not good and is not well cared for by the family can be excessive. In general, teenagers want to be recognized and get special treatment. Negative relationships that influence the use of liquor among teenagers. Liquor can damage the development of child development so there is a need for efforts to protect children from the bad influence of hard miniman as an effort to implement Law No. 35 of 2014 concerning Child Protection. The task of controlling this is in accordance with what is mandated by the Food Law, where the National Police has the right and obligation to control illegal alcoholic drinks without permission in accordance with applicable laws and regulations. Efforts to control illegal alcoholic beverages will greatly affect the decline in the incidence of alcoholic drinks because according to several events, people who carry out alcoholic drinks are usually from the lower middle class

Abstrack. This article is a socio-cultural study of the culture of consuming liquor. This research was conducted using a qualitative method with a case study approach to the Moskona community in West Bintuni Village, West Bintuni District, Bintuni Bay Regency. Using Herbert Blumer's theory of symbolic interactionism, this study seeks to understand the meaning of alcohol consumption for the people of Moscow and the economic, social, and health impacts of the culture of consuming alcoholic beverages. The results of this study reveal that the consumption of alcoholic drinks does come from outside and has developed into a habit in society, and people perceive alcoholic drinks as a form of brotherhood and kinship between groups of people when sitting together. Various efforts have been made by elements of society such as traditional leaders, religious leaders, and the government, such as very high customary fines for people who commit deviant behavior after consuming liquor, but in reality, the rate of accidents and fights after consuming alcoholic beverages is still high. This study also shows that the persistence of alcohol consumption in the community is related to family, economic and social factors.Keyword : Indigenous people, Liquor, Teluk BintuniAbstrak. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui bagaimana perkembangan komsumsi minuman beralkohol pada masyarakat Moskona yang berada di Kelurahan Bintuni Barat, Distrik Bintuni, Kabupaten Teluk Bintuni, sehingga menjadi sebuah budaya. Sselain itu juga untuk memahami makna konsumsi minuman beralkohol bagi masyarakat Moskona serta dampak ekonomi, sosial dan budaya dari konsumsi minuman beralkohol, dengan menggunakan Teori Interaksionisme Simbolik dari Herbert Blumer. Hasil penelitian mengungkapkan bahwa konsumsi minuman beralkohol memang datang dari luar dan berkembang menjadi sebuah kebiasaan pada masyarakat, dan masyarakat memaknai minuman beralkohol sebagai bentuk persaudaraan dan kekerabatan di antara kelompok masyarakat saat duduk bersama. Berbagai upaya yang dilakukan oleh elemen masyarakat seperti tokoh adat, tokoh agama, dan pemerintah sudah dilakukan seperti denda adat yang sangat tinggi kepada masyarakat yang melakukan perilaku menyimpang pasca mengkonsumsi minuman beralkohol, namun dalam kenyataannya tingkat kecelakaan dan perkelahian pasca konsumsi minuman beralkohol masih tetap tinggi. Bertahannya kebiasaan konsumsi minuman beralkohol pada masyarakat ada kaitannya dengan faktor keluarga, individu pelaku konsumsi dan maraknya minuman beralkohol yang beredar luas di tengah masyarakat, oleh karena itu upaya yang diharapkan oleh peneliti adalah pemerintah mengambil sikap tegas dengan mengeluarkan Peraturan Daerah (PERDA) terkait minuman beralhokol, untuk mampu meredam berdar luasnya minuman beralkohol tersebut.Kata Kunci : Minuman beralkohol, Peraturan Daerah, Teluk Bintuni

This study aims to determine how the Department of Industry and Trade of Palangkaraya City in implementing Regional Regulation No. 23 of 2014 to the Palangkaraya Alcoholic Beverage Seller. The method used is qualitative. The researcher wants to describe the Implementation of Regional Regulation No. 23 of 2014 from the Department of Industry and Trade of Palangka Raya City to the Seller of Alcoholic Beverages. The author uses 4 (four) indicators of policy implementation namely Information, Policy Content, Community Support and Potential Distribution. The data source consists of primary data, namely the results of interviews with Dinas Perindustrian dan Perdagangan, Alcoholic Beverage Sellers and the people of Palangka Raya City, while secondary data sources are in the form of official Regional Regulation Number 23 of 2014. the results of research on the Implementation of Regional Regulation No. 23 of 2014 are still not optimal due to the difficulty of some Alcoholic Beverage Sellers to be present on time to attend socialization activities and the difficulty of Alcoholic Beverage Sellers in requesting identity cards to teenage buyers. For this reason, the researcher recommends 1) giving a warning to the Alcoholic Beverage Sellers who are late in participating in the Socialization activities and 2) reaffirming the provision of information regarding the Regulations on the prohibition of selling alcoholic drinks to students or under 17 years of age.
