Abstract: Bamboo shoot has a good nutritional value but bamboo shoot contains HCN (cyanide acid) which is a toxic compound in a form of taxiphylin glycoside in various gradients. The right bamboo shoots processing before it is been consumed is necessary, so that the bamboo shoot is safe to be consumed. One of the bamboo shoot processing that can decrease the cyanide acid level is fermentation using salt solution. The aim of this research is to fnd out about the difference on cyanide acid level on bamboo shoot before and after fermentation using salt solution 2%, 3%, 4%, and 5% for 7 days. The research design used is quasy experimental using purposive sampling with 25 samples.The determination method of cyanide acid level used was ion selective electrode. This method is based on the measurement of electrical voltage contained in destilat with ion exchange substance solid form in electrode surface made from the mixture of silver compounds inorganic conductive which is soluble in water. Based on the research the average cyanide acid level before fermentation was 96.27 mg/kg, after fermentation using salt solution 2% was 18,86 mg/kg, after fermentation using salt solution 3% was 10,71 mg/kg, after fermentation using salt solution 4% was 3,41 mg/kg and after fermentation using salt solution5% was 0,67 mg/kg. From the anava test performed, the result was p = 0,000 (p<0,005) which means there is signifcant difference of cyanide acid level on bamboo shoot before and after fermentation using salt solution 2%, 3%, 4%, and 5% for 7 days.Abstrak: Rebung memiliki nilai gizi yang cukup baik akan tetapi rebung bambu mengandung HCN (asam sianida) yang merupakan senyawa beracun dalam bentuk glikosida taxiphylin dengan tingkat yang beragam. Pengolahan rebung yang tepat sebelum dikonsumsi sangat diperlukan agar rebung aman untuk dikonsumsi. Salah satu cara pengolahan rebung yang dapat menurunkan kadar asam sianida adalah fermentasi menggunakan larutan garam.Tujuan dari penelitian ini adalah untuk mengetahui perbedaan kadar asam sianida pada rebung sebelum dan sesudah difermentasi dengan larutan garam 2%, 3%, 4%, 5% selama 7 hari. Desain penelitian yang digunakan adalah eksperimen semu menggunakan purposive sampling sebanyak 25 sampel. Metode penetapan kadar asam sianida menggunakan elektroda selektif ion.

Background The rate of sudden cardiac death (SCD) in Brugada syndrome (BrS) is ≈1%/y. Noninvasive electrocardiographic imaging is a noninvasive mapping system that has a role in assessing BrS depolarization and repolarization abnormalities. This study aimed to analyze electrocardiographic imaging parameters during ajmaline test (AJT). Methods and Results All consecutive epicardial maps of the right ventricle outflow tract (RVOT‐EPI) in BrS with CardioInsight were retrospectively analyzed. (1) RVOT‐EPI activation time (RVOT‐AT); (2) RVOT‐EPI recovery time, and (3) RVOT‐EPI activation‐recovery interval (RVOT‐ARI) were calculated. ∆RVOT‐AT, ∆RVOT‐EPI recovery time, and ∆RVOT‐ARI were defined as the difference in parameters before and after AJT. SCD‐BrS patients were defined as individuals presenting a history of aborted SCD. Thirty‐nine patients with BrS were retrospectively analyzed and 12 patients (30.8%) were SCD‐BrS. After AJT, an increase in both RVOT‐AT [105.9 milliseconds versus 65.8 milliseconds, P <0.001] and RVOT‐EPI recovery time [403.4 milliseconds versus 365.7 milliseconds, P <0.001] was observed. No changes occurred in RVOT‐ARI [297.5 milliseconds versus 299.9 milliseconds, P =0.7]. Before AJT no differences were observed between SCD‐BrS and non SCD‐BrS in RVOT‐AT, RVOT‐EPI recovery time, and RVOT‐ARI ( P =0.9, P =0.91, P =0.86, respectively). Following AJT, SCD‐BrS patients showed higher RVOT‐AT, higher ∆RVOT‐AT, lower RVOT‐ARI, and lower ∆RVOT‐ARI ( P <0.001, P <0.001, P =0.007, P =0.002, respectively). At the univariate logistic regression, predictors of SCD‐BrS were the following: RVOT‐AT after AJT (specificity: 0.74, sensitivity 1.00, area under the curve 0.92); ∆RVOT‐AT (specificity: 0.74, sensitivity 0.92, area under the curve 0.86); RVOT‐ARI after AJT (specificity 0.96, sensitivity 0.58, area under the curve 0.79), and ∆RVOT‐ARI (specificity 0.85, sensitivity 0.67, area under the curve 0.76). Conclusions Noninvasive electrocardiographic imaging can be useful in evaluating the results of AJT in BrS.

This chapter explores housing politics in Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland both before and after formal devolution. It examines the role of local authority housing in Scotland prior to devolution in relationship to Green Belts and New Towns with particular reference to Glasgow and the sectarian politics in Northern Ireland leading to the creation of the Northern Ireland Housing Executive and direct Westminster rule. Post devolution housing politics under New Labour associated with homelessness, planning, stock transfer and changes in the housing market are explored. Divergent policies between the home nations since 2010, associated with the Coalition government’s housing policies, are analysed with special reference to land, social housing, the Right to Buy, the bedroom tax, sustainable housing and the regulation of private landlords.

Abstract This study assessed axial length and choroidal thickness changes following short-term peripheral myopic defocus in normal adult subjects. Twenty subjects underwent defocus sessions by viewing a full-field projected movie 4 meters away for 4 hours in the morning, while wearing spectacle lenses, corrected for distance vision in both eyes. The right eye, serving as the test eye, was peripherally defocused using a Fresnel lens overlay of + 3.50D with a central aperture of 11.5 mm, while the left eye served as the control. A subset of 10 subjects from the same cohort also underwent additional defocus sessions with + 5.00D of peripheral defocus. Axial length was measured and radial sub-foveal choroidal scans were obtained before and after the defocus sessions. The mean increase in axial length of the test eyes was 8 µm (p < 0.05) less than that of the control eyes with + 3.50D peripheral defocus condition and 14 µm (p < 0.05) less than the control eyes with + 5.00 D peripheral defocus condition. The difference in mean changes for choroidal thickness between test and control eyes were not significant for both dioptric conditions. Our results demonstrated that short-term peripheral myopic defocus significantly inhibited axial elongation in adult humans, without significant changes in choroidal thickness.
