The purpose of this study was to measure the effect of flour and chicken feet on the water quality, protein, and organoleptic properties of leftover chicken meatballs. This study was conducted using a completely randomised design (CRD) at the Industrial Engineering and Microbiology Laboratory of TribhuwanaTunggadewi University, Malang. In detail, the treatments were given as P0 (100 percent chicken meat without chicken feet flour), P1 (95 percent chicken meat and 5 percent chicken feet flour), P2 (90 percent chicken meat and 10 percent chicken feet flour), and P3 (85percent chicken meat and 15 percent chicken feet flour). The data obtained were tested organoleptic using the ChiSquare (X²) approach and analysis of variance (ANOVA) to determine the relationship between variables. Then the Least Significant Difference (LSD) test was carried out at the 5% level. The results showed that the addition of chicken feet flour to meatballs did not change their water content. The addition of chicken feet flour had a major impact on protein content; however, the best treatment in P3 (85% chicken meat and 15% chicken feet flour) had the highest protein value (0.63).In contrast, the P0 treatment containing only chicken meat had the lowest protein value (0.31). According to the research findings, the addition of chicken feet flour increased the protein content of leftover laying hen meatballs, with P3 as the ideal amount. This research opens up opportunities for the development of healthier and more nutritious meatball products, as well as optimizing the use of raw materials that are often considered waste, such as chicken feetTujuan penelitian ini adalah untuk mengukur pengaruh tepung ceker ayam dan daging ayam petelurafkir terhadap kualitas air, protein, dan organoleptik bakso ayam petelur afkir. Penelitian ini dilakukan dengan menggunakan rancangan acak lengkap (RAL) di Laboratorium Rekayaasa Proses Industri Universitas Tribhuwana Tunggadewi Malang.

Data yang diperoleh dilakukan uji organoleptik dengan menggunakan pendekatan Chi- Square (X2) dan analisis variansi (ANOVA) untuk mengetahui hubungan antar variabel.Bila terdapat perbedaan dilanjutkan Uji Beda Nyata Terkecil (BNT) pada taraf 5% . Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa penambahan tepung ceker ayam ke dalam bakso tidak berpengaruh terhadap kadar air. Penambahan tepung ceker ayam berpengaruh terhadap kadar protein dimana perlakuan P3 (15% tepung ceker ayam dan 85% daging ayam ) menghasilkan nilai protein tertinggi (0,63). Penambahan tepung ceker ayam meningkatkan kadar protein bakso ayam petelur afkir, dengan P3 sebagai jumlah ideal. Penelitian ini membuka peluang untuk pengembangan produk bakso yang lebih sehat dan bernilai gizi tinggi, serta mengoptimalkan pemanfaatan bahan baku yang sering dianggap sampah, seperti ceker ayam

Due to the high rates of overweight and obesity in Mexican and Puerto Rican women, interventions that target these groups are in great need. The purpose of this cross-sectional study is to explore the role of four cultural variables (acculturation, acculturative stress, ethnic identity, and cultural values) that may help to explain ethnic disparities in correlates of obesity (diet, physical activity, and body image) among Mexican and Puerto Rican women. This paper describes the study design, measures, and initial analyses of participant characteristics, as well as implications for the development of an obesity intervention. A total of 552 participants contacted the study staff, with 368 completing the oral script and initial eligibility interview. From these, 227 completed the written consent, 199 completed the "Health and Culture" interview, and 186 completed all study components; 42 women completed the qualitative interview. Data for the current study is from the 199 participants who completed the "Health and Culture" interview. Mexican women were younger, more likely to have completed less than a 9th grade education, and more likely to prefer to complete the interview in Spanish (vs. English) compared to Puerto Rican women. In addition, Mexican women were more likely to be in the normal-weight group, be a non-smoker, and not have health insurance compared to Puerto Rican women. Results revealed key initial differences between Puerto Rican and Mexican women which should be considered when developing interventions that address overweight and obesity.

This study aims to explain the importance of the strategy that must be taken by countries that are directly involved in war, such as the United States and Afghanistan. On the other hand, this strategy should also become an option for dominant countries in the region, such as China and China-Pakistan. This study tries to use Joseph Nye's theories/concepts, namely hard power, soft power and smart power. Soft power and smart power have been proposed for their application to try to end the violence in Afghanistan when the theory/concept of hard power has not succeeded in making Afghanistan peaceful. The methodology used in this study is explanatory-literary research, which tries to decipher the problem of the theme above based on the literature by explaining the relationship between phenomena recorded through various books, journals and reviews and what is widespread in online media. The result is then the need for a new strategy to try to reconcile the conflict/war in Afghanistan to be taken by the countries involved as well as countries that have a dominant role in Afghanistan such as China and Pakistan as the closest (neighboring) countries. The theoretical implication is that Joseph Nye's theory of soft power and smart power provides a promising solution in the future, even though this theory dates back to 2004. While the practical implications are expected that countries involved in the war and countries that have a dominant role can take this theory as their policy choice to end the conflict in Afghanistan

There are many ways for region to raise its economic growth and welfare. Through of accuracy of expenditures, regions can objectify their vision and goals to growth their economics and welfare. On this research aims to examine the effects of capital expenditures on welfare indicators. We use secondary data by using all of local governments in Indonesia as research sample. There is variable capital expenditures of local governments as an exogenous variable, while the Human Development Index, labor absorption, and poverty level as an endogenous variable. This study uses panel data which combines time series data and cross section. These data were analyzed using regression with Eviews program. The results with significance level α = 0.05 showed that all hypothesis are accepted. Its proved, that capital expenditures have effects positive significantly on the Human Development Index and labor absorption, and have effects negative significantly on poverty level.

We investigate the probability distribution of the volatility return intervals $\tau$ for the Chinese stock market. We rescale both the probability distribution $P_{q}(\tau)$ and the volatility return intervals $\tau$ as $P_{q}(\tau)=1/\bar{\tau} f(\tau/\bar{\tau})$ to obtain a uniform scaling curve for different threshold value $q$. The scaling curve can be well fitted by the stretched exponential function $f(x) \sim e^{-\alpha x^{\gamma}}$, which suggests memory exists in $\tau$. To demonstrate the memory effect, we investigate the conditional probability distribution $P_{q} (\tau|\tau_{0})$, the mean conditional interval $$ and the cumulative probability distribution of the cluster size of $\tau$. The results show clear clustering effect. We further investigate the persistence probability distribution $P_{\pm}(t)$ and find that $P_{-}(t)$ decays by a power law with the exponent far different from the value 0.5 for the random walk, which further confirms long memory exists in $\tau$. The scaling and long memory effect of $\tau$ for the Chinese stock market are similar to those obtained from the United States and the Japanese financial markets.

Abstract This paper examines library security and crime patterns in academic libraries of four-year colleges and universities (public and private) in Texas, with enrollments of 1,000 or more students. Sixty-two institutions were surveyed, with thirty-six respondents, a 58 percent return rate. This study provides data on levels of library security maintained in academic libraries in Texas. Findings identify technological systems employed for library security within academic libraries in Texas; compare guidelines for library security policies and procedures; identify annual losses due to crime and disruption; and inventory the resources dedicated to crime prevention. For library administrators wishing to reconsider their security program, this report can facilitate comparison with comparable institutions' policies and procedures, toward the goal of developing guidelines for preventing crime and disruption, thereby ensuring information access in libraries.
