Aim: The aim of this study was to determine the terpenoid profile in dried cannabis flowers obtained from different varieties of cannabis plant and in cannabis extracts in order to investigate quantity of terpenes lost during extraction and purification process. Methods: GC/MS method for determination of terpenes was verified. The concentration of terpenes was determined in dry flowers as raw material and in decarboxylated and distillated cannabis extracts, using the same GC/MS analytical method. The extraction was performed using 96% ethanol as a solvent. Results: The obtained results indicate that dry cannabis flowers from different cannabis plant can be distinguished only by their terpenoid profile. The use of standardized cannabis-based extracts can be confirmed by determination of terpenoid profile. The purification process of the cannabis extracts removes terpenes. The percentage of major terpen beta-Myrcene decreased from 68% in dry flower to 15% in decarboxylated and, 1.9% in distillated cannabis oil after purification. The percentage of second major terpene alpha-Pinene decreased from 15% in dry flower to 5% in decarboxylated and, 0.7% in distillated cannabis oil after purification. Conclusion: Terpenes act synergistically with cannabinoids. Following the monograph for quality testing of cannabis extracts in the German Pharmacopoeia, the purification process is necessary to achieve a final concentration of cannabinoids (Tetrahydrocannabinol) of more than 95% in the final active pharmaceutical ingredient. The purification process removes terpenes that have proven synergistically pharmacological effects with cannabinoids.

Ensuring access to safe drinking water is a challenge in many parts of the world for reasons including, but not limited to, infrastructure age, source water impairment, limited community finances and limitations in Federal water protections. Water quality crises and the prevalence of impaired waters globally highlight the need for investment in the expansion of drinking water testing that includes public and private water systems, as well as community outreach. We provide justification including a case example to argue the merits of developing drinking water testing and community outreach programs that include drinking water testing and non-formal education (i.e., public outreach) regarding the importance of drinking water quality testing for human well-being and security. Organizers of drinking water testing programs should: (1) test drinking water quality; (2) develop drinking water quality databases; (3) increase public awareness of drinking water issues; (4) build platforms for improved community outreach; and (5) publish program results that illustrate successful program models that are spatially and temporally transferrable. We anticipate that short-term and intermediate outcomes of this strategy would improve access to drinking water testing, facilitate greater understanding of water quality and increase security through inclusive and equitable water quality testing and outreach programs.

Agriculture is one of the fields that still dominates Indonesia as an agricultural country. As a substantial actor in agriculture, many farmers have not met their daily needs. This study examines the quality of alternative business training models for farmworkers using a community empowerment system. This study is part of research and development focused on product quality testing. The training model that the researcher has designed is then tested on validity, practicality, and effectiveness. The participants involved in this study were farm labourers in 2 sub-districts in Wajo Regency, South Sulawesi, Indonesia, namely Pammana and Tanasitolo sub-districts as many as 15 farm workers, two observers, and three agricultural experts. Furthermore, the instruments used in this study were: (1) validation sheet, (2) model implementation observation sheet, (3) farmworker response questionnaire, and (4) knowledge test. The data that has been collected is then analyzed quantitatively using SPSS 23.00 software. The study results show that the training model that this researcher has designed is valid, practical, and effective in increasing the knowledge of farmworkers and can be used for a broader range of users.

With the development of science and technology and the improvement of industrialization, the development of more and more industries has interacted to form many industrial clusters. For the healthy development and safety of various industries, environmental quality monitoring and management in industrial clusters is of utmost importance. Currently, domestic and foreign enterprises and related departments are vigorously developing smart environment platforms. The purpose of this paper is to design an intelligent environment platform for industrial clusters based on cloud computing technology. This article first uses the methods of literature research and network investigation to collect relevant literature and research results and organizes statistics on the collected information. Then, through case analysis to study the needs and overview of the construction of smart environment platforms in industrial clusters, it uses the wireless smart sensing technology of the Internet of Things and the information interaction technology of the Internet to provide data to cloud computing through mobile terminals, and cloud computing provides various types on demand data service. Then, according to the demand analysis of the intelligent environment platform, the functional modules and operation procedures of the intelligent environment platform are designed. The main monitoring content is water quality testing, air quality testing, garbage disposal and soil quality testing, etc. Finally, this article processes, analyzes, and predicts the detected sampled data through cloud computing. It can also locate and track abnormal data. Through the curve fitting of the data, the environmental conditions in the area can be predicted. Experiments show that the prediction accuracy rate is as high as 93.8%, which plays an important role in monitoring and preventing environmental pollution.

Abbatoirs have to produce meat that complied requisite of safety, healthy, wholeness and halal. Animalorigin product have to requisite basic safety product which implementated of hygine sanitation asproduction processed. The research aim was to evaluate implementation of hygine sanitation systemon 1st categrory abbatoir at Bogor Regency to complied safety and quality assurance of product.Observations on the implementation of hygienic sanitation were carried out using an evaluation matrixof the suitability of physical requirements with the criterion parameter assessment method based onthe Regulation of the Minister of Agriculture Number 13/2010. The best suitability value (NK) of 3 wasobtained on the environmental hygiene indicator and the absence of the use of chemicals, while theother sanitation hygiene indicators were worth 2 (less appropriate). The results of testing on meat forthe content of Salmonella sp. is negative and the Total Plate Count test is between 7.1 x 103 - 5.2 x 104cfu/g below the SNI threshold (1.0 x 106 cfu/g). The test for E. coli in meat was above the threshold ofsuspected contamination from the water used. Validation of hygiene sanitation practices was carried outby means of Colliform swabs on knives, palms hand and clothing of officers. Colliform swab test of theofficer’s palm hand, which is 5.4 x 102 cfu/g, shows a value above the allowable threshold. The results ofthe evaluation of the application of sanitation and hygiene in the abattoir are quite good but still needimprovement. Priority improvements are the equipment of cleaning facilities, water quality testing andimprovement of personal hygiene understanding.
