In Bosnia and Herzegovina, Montenegro, as well as in most Balkan countries, wool is a major environmental problem. After sheep shearing, farmers usually leave the wool at the shear sites, providing poorly degradable organic waste. The purchase price of such untreated wool is as low as its quality. By this research, we have tried to draw attention, from another aspect, to the quality of wool fibers of certain parts of the body, which is ultimately very important in the textile industry and in the selection of wool for further processing. The cuticle is made from cornfied cells, flakes, located on the surface of wool fibers. One of the significant roles of the cuticle is the protective. Namely, the cuticle protects the wool fibers from various external factors, whether mechanical or physic-chemical (such as ammonia evaporation in poorly maintained facilities, etc.), which can damage the fleece and thus make it less quality. We have found some differences in the flakes position and shape in the wool fibers we investigated, depending on part of the body from which they were sampled. However, by microscopic analyses of samples taken from the root of the tail, we have found that the flakes were much smaller and finer in structure than the arrangement and appearance of the cornified flakes from the rump. In this study, we have compared the appearance and arrangement of flakes of cuticle, which is very important in assessing the quality of wool and its further use as a raw material.

<p>Madura merupakan salah satu daerah penghasil tembakau di Indonseia. Tembakau Madura  merupakan jenis komoditi perkebunan yang memiliki nilai ekonomi tinggi. Sebagian besar tembakau madura diserap oleh pabrik rokok sebagai bahan baku utama rokok maupun sebagai racikan atau campuran kretek. Secara umum tembakau Madura sendiri dibagi menjadi tiga bagian: tembakau gunung, tembakau tegal, dan tembakau sawah. Jenis tembakau gunung adalah yang paling diburu oleh pabrik rokok, meski produktivitasnya terbilang sangat rendah dibanding tembakau sawah. Terdapat banyak jenis  varietas tembakau gunung yang ditanam petani di Madura, namun  yang memiliki karakteristik khas adalah tembaku Prancak – 95. Hal ini disebabkan  <a href="http://global-news.co.id/2016/04/tembakau-varietas-prancak-95-madura-diam-diam-dikembangkan-tiongkok/">Aroma tembakau Prancak-95 Madura tidak bisa ditiru oleh</a> jenis varietas tembaku lain di Indonesia. Hal lain yang membedakan yaitu terjadi karena kontur atau struktur tanah Madura yang memang khas, yang merupakan kelebihan dari tembakau Madura.Pada penelitian ini didesain sebuah sistem gradding untuk mendeteksi kualitas tembakau Prancak – 95 madura. Deteksi kualitas daun tembakau ini didasarkan pada dua ekstraksi fitur yaitu tekstur dan aromatik. Berdasarkan kedua fitur tersebut nantinya akan diklasifikasikan dengan menggunakan standard kualifikasi SNI.

Madura tobacco is a type of plantation commodity that has high economic value. Most tobacco Madura is absorbed by cigarette manufacturers as the main raw material of cigarettes as well as as a concoction or clove mixture. In general Madura tobacco itself is divided into three parts: mountain tobacco, tobacco tegal, and tobacco sawah. Types of mountain tobacco are the most hunted by cigarette manufacturers, although the productivity is very low compared to tobacco. There are many types of varieties of mountain tobacco grown by farmers in Madura, but which has a distinctive characteristic is the Prancak-95 tobacco. This is because the Prancak-95 Madura tobacco aroma cannot be imitated by other types of copious varieties in Indonesia. Another thing that distinguishes that occurs due to the contour or structure of Madura land that is typical, which is the advantage of Madura tobacco. In this study designed a grading system to detect the quality of Prancak tobacco - 95 madura. The tobacco leaf quality detection is based on two feature extractions, namely texture and aromatics. Based on these two features will be classified using SNI qualification standards. So that the accuracy level of Madura tobacco leaf quality detection becomes more optimal</em><em></em></p><em>Keywords: Image extraction, Gas Sensor, Maduraness Tobacco </em>

Based on the late medieval leather artefacts from Puck, Gniew, Lębork and Chojnice, an attempt was made to assess the level of shoemaking production at that time. Microscopic analyses of leather goods and production waste proved that in the field of tanning the activities related to the mechanical treatment of leather were carefully performed, although with insufficient professional knowledge concerning the process. The results of the identification of the animal origin of the leather confirmed the purposeful selection of raw material with different properties for individual footwear elements and the ability to properly cut it. The quality of the shoemaking products was highly rated in terms of technology and style. However, in the analysed collections a clearly perceptible difference in craftsmanship and assortment of products from Gniew and the other three towns was noticed.

Abstract Objective To identify the most effective procedures recommended for the prevention of preeclampsia. Data Sources A systematic review was performed in the following databases: Pubmed/MEDLINE, CINAHL, Web of Science, Cochrane and LILACS via the Virtual Health Library (VHL). A manual search was also performed to find additional references. The risk of bias, the quality of the evidence, and the classification of the strength of the recommendations were evaluated using the Grading of Recommendations, Assessment, Development and Evaluations (GRADE) approach. Selection of Studies In the initial search in the databases, the total number of articles retrieved was 351, and 2 were retrieved through the manual search; after duplicate articles were removed, 333 citations remained. After a thorough review of the titles and abstracts, 315 references were excluded. Accordingly, 18 articles were maintained for selection of the complete text (phase 2). This process led to the exclusion of 6 studies. In total, 12 articles were selected for data extraction and qualitative synthesis. Data Collection The articles selected for the study were analyzed, and we inserted the synthesis of the evidence in the online software GRADEpro Guideline Development Tool (GDT) (McMaster University and Evidence Prime Inc. All right reserved. McMaster University, Hamilton, Ontário, Canada); thus, it was possible to develop a table of evidence, with the quality of the evidence and the classification of the strength of the recommendations. Data Synthesis In total, seven studies recommended the individual use of aspirin, or aspirin combined with calcium, heparin or dipyridamole. The use of calcium alone or in combination with phytonutrients was also highlighted. All of the studies were with women at a high risk of developing preeclampsia. Conclusion According to the studies evaluated, the administration of aspirin is still the best procedure to be used in the clinical practice to prevent preeclampsia.

Yoga teachers and therapists recognize the need for correct postural alignment. The quality of movement is equally important. When a person moves incorrectly, joints deviate from their centers of rotation. Mechanical stress occurs with repeated incorrect movement and results in degeneration of the joint and eventual pain from repetitive stress. Yoga therapists and teachers influence the movement patterns of their students by their choice of âsanas. By identifying an incorrect pattern of movement,a Yoga therapist can be more specific in the selection of âsanas to alleviate pain and to help students avoid pain in the future. This article offers an introduction to the principles of movement balancing and a classification of movement patterns in the low back to demonstrate the practical application of movement balancing in Yoga therapy.

Wilson's recent critique of the authors' appraisal of meta-analysis appears to misunderstand them as claiming more for meta-analysis than they intended. The present paper seeks to clarify consequent confusions concerning selection of studies, the quality of the literature reviewed, the classification of therapies, and the non-identical results of different meta-analyses. It is acknowledged that no single meta-analysis is definitive.

The aim of this study was to determine the effect of differentiated air relative humidity during the drying process on selected quality features of TSG (traditional specialties guaranteed) pork and poultry-pork kabanosy. After heat treatment and 24-hour cooling at 4–6°C, the products were placed in three chambers at 15°C with differentiated air relative humidity: 60, 70, and 80%, respectively. The drying process was carried out until all variants of kabanosy achieved the required final yield of the product (<68%). Color components, water activity and shear force, water, protein, fat, and salt content, and the TBARS indicator values were determined. The drying process might be shortened (~50%) by a reduction of humidity in the drying chamber from 80 to 60%. The changes in the content of chemical components in pork kabanosy compared to poultry-pork ones demonstrated the different dynamics of the drying of the two types of kabanosy and the need for the selection of optimum drying conditions relative to raw material composition.

Durian rind waste is a source of organic material that is easily found during the durian fruit season in South Kalimantan, where the potential abundance can reach 100 tons / day. If left unchecked, it will involve environmental problems such as garbage build-up, strong odors, and aesthetically disturbing views, so special care needs to be taken on the organic waste. Therefore, a solution is needed to overcome this problem by using durian rind waste as raw material for composting. The purpose of this study was to study how to apply the EM4 dose to the quality of durian skin waste compost. This study used a single complete randomized design (CRD) consisting of 6 preparations: s0 (0 mL EM4 / kg material), s1 (1 mL EM4 / kg material), s2 (1.5 mL EM4 / kg material), s3 (2 mL EM4 / kg material), s4 (2.5 mL EM4 / kg material), s5 (3 mL EM4 / kg material). The results showed that what was needed in the study with the help of 1 mL EM4 / kg material (S1), where the durian skin compost was in accordance with SNI on the pH parameters namely 7.48, C-organic 16.59%, total N 1.34%, moisture content 42.54%, temperature 30oC, and compost odor test with criteria not approved rotten.

Parsley seeds are commercialized without classification by size during processing, unlike other crops. This classification procedure allows the standardization of seed size for high precision in sowing, disposal of unwanted material, and selection of high quality seeds. The aim of this study was to verify the effect of seed size on germination, vigor, and yield performance of two parsley cultivars. Seeds from eight lots of parsley of ‘Portuguesa’ and ‘Chacareira’ cultivar were separated into three size classes, represented by the seeds retained in the sieves of 0.84, 1.00 and 1.41mm mesh opening. After classification, seeds were evaluated in the laboratory for water content, germination percentage, first count, and thousand seed weight. In the field, the fresh and dry weight of aerial part and the final number of plants (stand) were evaluated after 78 days of sowing. The experimental design was the completely randomized design in an 8 x 3 factorial scheme (eight lots and three sieve opening) with four replicates, for both cultivars. Data obtained were subjected to analysis of variance and means were compared using Tukey test at 5% probability level. It was concluded that the parsley seeds separated by the 1.41 mm sieves showed higher vigor, and consequently, greater success in stand establishment at the field than those separated by other sieve size. The use of sieves in the classification of parsley seeds helps in obtaining lots with superior physiological quality.

It was found that the average live weight of geese at the beginning of the oviposition was (OS – 3% X OS – 3%): goose – 6.10 kg, goose – 7.30 kg, and (OS – 5% X OS – 5♂): goose – 6,30 kg, goose – 7,37 kg. The average weight of OS–3 goose was 39.5 eggs per head, and OS–5 – 41.4 eggs. At the same time, the average weight of eggs in the 1st group was 154.3 g, and in II – 158.5 g. The indexes of the forms in the I group consisted of: the length of the egg – 84.4 mm, the width – 55.4 mm, the index of form 65.6 in the second group respectively – 84.3 mm; 56.3 mm; 66.7 mm. The study of the incubation qualities of eggs indicates that the higher fertility was in the goose of the second group and amounted to 85.3%, which is 0.9% more compared with the I group. It is known that the yield of caterpillars is dependent on fertility and in the 1st group this indicator was 71.8%, which is 4.3% less than in the second group (76.1%). At 9 weeks of age, males of the II group surpassed their peers from the 1st group by chest covering 1.79%., With a body length of 2.08%, and a kilo length of 7.14%. The same tendency was observed in the shoots of the shin and plyusny, so the males of group ІІ in the first indicator dominated the male and group I by 8,19%; in the second indicator males of the II group dominated the males of the I group by 6.68%. At 9 weeks of age, females of group ІІ grouped over their breasts over their peers from the 1st group by 2.40%, with the body length by 3.21%., With the length of the keel – by 2.34%. Length of the leg and shoulders in the females of the 2nd group were the largest and dominated by females and groups I by the first indicator at 5.26%; in the second indicator, females of the second group dominated the females of the I group by 1.08%. Males at all investigated periods had higher levels of total protein in serum than females. It was found that males at all investigated periods had higher levels of total protein in serum than females. Performance indicators of Ohorin gray geese (Group I) consisted of: carcass weight – 39.5 pc. on the head; the weight of eggs – 154.3 g; fertility – 84.4%; deductibility – 71.8%; the live weight of geese in the 9-week-old age is 4.52 kg males and 3.84 kg females; preservation – 90.7%. Obroshinsky gray goose (group II) are characterized by the highest indexes in relation to the first group: for fertility by 4.8%, fertility by 0.9%, output by 4.9%, live weight of geese at 9 weeks of age (males) – 1.99%, (females) by 0.52%, preservation – 2.90%, egg mass – 2.64%. The highest feather-down raw material was obtained at the age of 18 in geese I group. The basic indices of blood of the examined geese were within the acceptable limits of the norm.
