A rapid, sensitive and species preservative analytical method for the simultaneous determination of six selenium (Se) species has been developed. Enzymatic probe sonication (EPS) was investigated as a novel and alternative technology for the extraction of Se species from feed matrices and the results were compared with the conventional hot water extraction, enzymatic hydrolysis and sequential extraction. The critical parameters of EPS such as enzyme types, extraction time, temperature, ultrasonic power and sample/enzyme ratio were...

The aim of this research is to explore the ways in which Muslim women are portrayed in contemporary Indonesian literature. This research is focused on the images of women in Javanese Muslim families. It is argued that there have been changes in the depiction of female characters since Reformasi in Indonesia. Although this research deals with the issues of Islam, literature and Muslim women, the object of the research cannot be labelled as Islamic literature....

Four unsaturated fatty acid derivatives including three new pantheric acids (1–3), together with three known polyketides (5–7), were isolated from a culture broth of the marine-derived fungus Aspergillus sp. SCAU150. Their complete structures were determined by NMR and HRESIMS data analyses. The antifungal activity of the isolated compounds above was evaluated and 2 was found to show moderated activity toward the phytopathogenic fungus Fusarium solani bio-80814 with an inhibition zone diameter of 6 mm under...
