EVALUATION AND SELECTION OF SALINITY TOLERANT LINES IN BRASSICA NAPUS USING CORRELATION AND PATH COEFFICIENT ANALYSIS

Genetic variation and varied response of genotypes with erraticsalt tolerance enable us to recognize and utilize the underlying physiological and biochemical mechanisms in development of salinity tolerant cultivars. In the present studies, ten lines viz., B-56, BLBN, G-96, R-3, RBJ-8007, ZMR-1, ZMR-2, ZNR-1, ZMM-5, and 23627, and six testers i.e., Faisal, Shiralee, Laclone, Long, Legend, and ZMR-3 were collected and crossed in a line by tester fashion. The resultant F 1 crosses and their parental genotypes were assessed at maturity phase in a pot experiment under factorial structured CRD. Recorded data on morphological traits were analyzed to assess the genetic variability in breeding material, association among traits, and their direct and subsidiary effects on seed and oil yield. Analysis of variance showed the presence of significant genetic variability within and among the salinity treatments. Parental genotypes were found significantly different for Na+/K+ ratio, proline contents, osmotic potential, primary branches, and oil contents under all treatments. Entries and parents vs. crosses differed significantly for most of the traits indicating that breeding material possesses genetic variability which may be exploited in future breeding program for effective upgradation of yield and salinity tolerance. Correlation and path analysis exposed that silique per plant, seeds per silique, oil content, thousand seeds weight, and days to 50% maturity might be used as criteria of selection for development of salinity tolerant types with higher yield. Morphological traits showed significant association with yield per plant under salt stress conditions. These associations can be useful in sorting salt tolerant and sensitive high yielding genotypes. Accumulation of proline and Na + /K + ratio may also be chosen as selection criteria for targeting salinity tolerance in the future breeding program. Screening of salt tolerant lines and subsequent development of salinity tolerant cultivars may be helpful in inclusion of salt effected area’s under Brassica cultivation thereby increasing the local production of edible oil in Pakistan.
Edu Sportivo

As a result of the Covid-19 virus, which has affected everyone, the educational community is in a tough situation right now. Technology's advancement in the teaching-learning instruction process is both a benefit and a drawback of globalization's educational approach. The study was primarily concerned with how the use of e-materials in the classroom might increase students' learning performance in physical education dancing. This study was a correlational investigation of 50 grade 9 students' dance performances and the utilization of e-materials in physical education in Sta. Catalina National High School, Candelaria, Quezon. The research was conducted using a descriptive-quantitative technique and a self-administered questionnaire through Google Form. The findings demonstrated that the use of e-materials in physical education dancing is always noted, and students' performance improves significantly when e-materials are used. Furthermore, there is no relationship between e-materials used to teach dance in physical education and student dance performance. It encouraged students to keep using and employing the effectiveness of e-materials in their dancing performances. This research will help to understand how effective the use of e-materials is in teaching dance in physical education and how it affects student performance and will provide valuable insights on the best practices for teaching dance in physical education and how to maximize the use of e-materials to enhance student performance.
KDM1A represses the apoptosis in osteosarcoma cells via demethylating Bcl-2/c-Myc

Background: Considering the poorly understood mechanism of lysine demethylase 1A (KDM1A) in osteosarcoma (OS), we here commence our investigation to fill the blank.Methods: Following the transfection as appropriate, 3-[4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl]-2,5 diphenyl tetrazolium bromide (MTT) and flow cytometry assays were used to determine the viability and apoptosis of OS cells MG-63, in which the generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and the binding between KDM1A and Bcl-2/ cellular Myc (c-Myc) were separately confirmed via DCF-DA method and chromatin immunoprecipitation-PCR. Reverse-transcription quantitative PCR and western blot were finally introduced to quantify the levels of KDM1A/Bcl-2/c-Myc and endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress-related factors.Results: Overexpressed KDM1A enhanced the viability (48 hours) yet repressed the apoptosis and ROS generation, with the downregulation on ER stress-related factors (C/EBP homologous protein [CHOP]; proline-rich extensin-like receptor kinase (PERK) and activating transcription factor 4 [ATF4]) yet the elevation of Bcl-2/c-Myc, while its depletion exerted contrary effects. More importantly, KDM1A could act as the demethylase of Bcl-2/c-Myc, as reflected by the results that the depletion of KDM1A decreased the enrichment of Bcl-2/c-Myc promoter using the antibody against KDM1A yet increased the enrichment by the antibody targeting H3K9me2. Bcl-2/c-Myc silencing, conversely, promoted the ROS generation and apoptosis, elevated the levels of ER stress-related factors and abolished the effects of KDM1A on OS cells.Conclusion: KDM1A exerts a repressive effect on the apoptosis of OS cells MG-63 by inhibiting the ROS generation and ER stress via demethylation of Bcl-2 and c-Myc.

Performance Enhancement of a Variable Speed Permanent Magnet Synchronous Generator Used for Renewable Energy Application

The paper aims to develop an improved control system to enhance the dynamics of a permanent magnet synchronous generator (PMSG) operating at varying speeds. The generator dynamics are evaluated based on lowing current, power, and torque ripples to validate the effectiveness of the proposed control system. The adopted controllers include the model predictive power control (MPPC), model predictive torque control (MPTC), and the designed predictive voltage control (PVC). MPPC seeks to regulate the active and reactive power, while MPTC regulates the torque and flux. MPPC and MPTC have several drawbacks, like high ripple, high load commutation, and using a weighting factor in their cost functions. The methodology of designed predictive voltage comes to eliminate these drawbacks by managing the direct voltage by utilizing the deadbeat and finite control set FCS principle, which uses a simple cost function without needing any weighting factor for equilibrium error issues. The results demonstrate several advantages of the proposed PVC technique, including faster dynamic response, simplified control structure, reduced ripples, lower current harmonics, and decreased computational requirements when compared to the MPPC and MPTC methods. Additionally, the study considers the integration of blade pitch angle and maximum power point tracking (MPPT) controls, which limit wind energy utilization when the generator speed exceeds its rated speed and maximize wind energy extraction during wind scarcity. In summary, the proposed PVC enhanced control system exhibits superior performance in terms of dynamic response, control simplicity, current quality, and computational efficiency when compared to alternative methods.
Electrospun Membrane Fabrication in Assisting Tissues Healing

The arrangement of fibers into three-dimensional (3D) complex structure is constructing a sheet of membrane, depending on the fabrication technique. The fiber mats and scaffolds have been used in various applications including tissue engineering which involve the integration of cells and tissues within the pores between the fibers. There are several techniques that have been opted to produce specifically nanofibers as its efficacy in tissue healing is prominent compared to microfibers. Among the fabrication techniques (drawing, template synthesis, temperature-induced phase separation, molecular self-assembly, and electrospinning), electrospinning method has drawn attention due to their easy handling, inexpensive, and ability for membrane scale-up with the production of fibers ranging from few nanometers to several microns. Researchers have employed a variety of electrospinning methods, including blended/co-electrospinning, emulsion, coaxial, side-by-side, and triaxial electrospinning. In electrospinning smooth formation of nanofibers for tissue healing with less appearance of spray and beads, several parameters such as humidity, temperature, voltage, flow rate, viscosity, concentration, molecular weight, surface tension, conductivity, and solvent volatile need to be tailored. The morphology of nanofibers formation should support the size and structure of the surrounded cells and tissues. Besides, the types of degradable polymeric materials also play a role in the formation of stable nanofibers. This review paper aimed to provide information on the techniques to produce nanofibers, intended to the basic exploration of electrospinning.
Licury Cake in Diets for Lactating Goats: Intake, Digestibility, Feeding Behavior, Milk Production and Composition, and Nitrogen Metabolism

Simple Summary Licury cake is a by-product used to replace conventional ingredients in ruminant diets to reduce production costs. Some studies in sheep and in beef and dairy cattle showed promising results with the inclusion of licury cake in the diets of feedlot ruminants. The main objective of this study was to evaluate the productive performance and metabolic behavior of dairy goats subjected to increasing inclusion levels of licury cake in the diet. Our main results showed that the inclusion of licury cake in the diet did not promote negative effects on the nutrient intake, digestibility, metabolism, and performance of feedlot lactating goats. We additionally observed that, through feeding behavior, the inclusion of licury cake promoted greater efficiency in the intake and rumination of fiber. Moreover, through the metabolism, we found that the inclusion of licury cake promoted higher recycling of nitrogen; however, more studies are needed to elucidate these facts. Our results showed that the inclusion of licury cake of up to 200 g kg−1 of dry matter in the diets of lactating goats can be recommended without affecting productive performance. Abstract The objective of this study was to determine the effects of licury cake (LC) inclusion in the diets of lactating goats on productive and metabolic performance. Twelve lactating goats, eight Saanen and four Anglo-Nubian, were distributed in a triplicate 4 × 4 Latin square design, with four treatments (0, 66.7, 133.3, and 200 g kg−1 of dry matter—DM). On the one hand, the LC inclusion increased neutral detergent fiber, indigestible neutral detergent fiber, and potentially digestible neutral detergent fiber (p < 0.001) intake. On the other hand, LC inclusion reduced ether extract and non-fibrous carbohydrate (p < 0.001) intake. There was a reduction in dry matter digestibility (p = 0.018) and an increase in neutral detergent fiber digestibility (p = 0.036). Feeding (p = 0.005) and rumination (p < 0.001) efficiencies increased with LC inclusion. The nitrogen balance was similar for all tested diets; however, we observed recycling metabolism. Based on the studied parameters, mainly milk production and composition, we recommend the LC inclusion of up to 200 g kg−1 DM in diets for lactating goats.
Heavy metals effect on unviable larvae of Dicrotendipes simpsoni (Diptera: Chironomidae), a case study from Saguling Dam, Indonesia.

Heavy metals pollution can create negative effects on living organisms, as a teratogenic effect, which result in reproduction disorder that caused unviable embryos, mortality, etc. These unviable embryos can occur in the chironomidae of Saguling Dam, this being assumed as a result of heavy metals pollution in the dam. This study was aimed to analyze the relationship between the occurrence of heavy metals in the water surface of Saguling Dam with the unviable head morphology of insect larvae of diptera chironomidae: Dicrotendipes simpsoni. The study was done descriptively. Data of water quality (heavy metals) and D. simpsoni larvae were analyzed with Principal Component Analysis (PCA) and then followed by simple correlation of Pearson Product Moment. This study found that Saguling Dam has been polluted by heavy metals resulting in some deformations in chironomidae larvae. The results of the study revealed that most of chironomidae suffered deformation, mainly on the head part. Antennal deformities were most likely to be characterized by high Cr concentration (r = 0.7099). Total deformities had a tendency to be characterized by Pb (r = 0.7055), and there is a high probability that pecten epipharyngis deformities was caused by Cu (r = 0.6131).
The El Farol Bar Problem: A Comparative Analysis of Expectation Models Used in Decision Making

Arthur (1994) introduces the El Farol Bar Problem (EFBP) in his article “Bounded Rationality and Inductive Reasoning". He creates an agent-based model of the EFBP and uses it to explain the importance of the concept "bounded rationality". According to Arthur, deductive reasoning will not create decisions that will produce a desired behavior for the EFBP. Hence, boundedly rational agents using inductive reasoning in decision making is a must for this and similar type of problems. We extend Arthur's work by creating different types of agents and compare them in terms of performance measures such as mean attendance and standard deviation of attendance. We introduce adaptive learning agents that use inductive reasoning in forming their decisions expecting an improvement in the overall performance of the agents. Throughout the analysis of the EFBP, we discover the role of the heterogeneity and the detrimental effect of using the weekly attendance information. Unexpectedly, as a result of our findings, the behavior of adaptive learning agents converges to the behavior that would be expected from agents using deductive reasoning.
SFPQ and Its Isoform as Potential Biomarker for Non-Small-Cell Lung Cancer

Cancer markers are measurable molecules in the blood or tissue that are produced by tumor cells or immune cells in response to cancer progression. They play an important role in clinical diagnosis, prognosis, and anti-drug monitoring. Although DNA, RNA, and even physical images have been used, proteins continue to be the most common marker. There are currently no specific markers for lung cancer. Metastatic lung cancer, particularly non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC), is one of the most common causes of death. SFPQ, YY1, RTN4, RICTOR, LARP6, and HELLS are expressed at higher levels in cells from NSCLC than in control or cells from inflammatory diseases. SFPQ shows the most difference between the three cell types. Furthermore, the cytoplasmic isoform of SFPQ is only found in advanced cancers. We have developed ELISAs to detect SFPQ and the long and short isoforms. Evidence has shown that the short isoform exists primarily in cancers. Furthermore, immunocytometry studies and IHC analysis have revealed that SFPQ levels are consistent with ELISA results. In addition, enhanced DNA methylation in the SFPQ gene may facilitate the SFPQ expression differences between control and cancer cells. Considering this, elevated SFPQ level and the isoform location could serve as a cancer diagnostic and prognostic marker.
Evaluation of Bioactive Restorative Materials’ Color Stability: Effect of Immersion Media and Thermocycling

Objectives: One of the most important aspects that determines the clinical lifetime of aesthetic restorations, is the color stability (CS) over the long term. This study aims to assess the effect of artificial aging and thermocycling in different staining solutions on the CS of bioactive restorative materials compared to conventional ones. Methods: The following four material groups were investigated: ACTIVA™ Bioactive (AB) (Pulpdent Corporation, Massachusetts, United States), Beautifil II (BF) (SHOFU Inc., Kyoto, Japan), Fuji II (FJ) (GC Corporation, Tokyo Japan), and Filtek™ Z350 XT (FT) (3M, Minnesota, United States). A total of 100 specimens were fabricated using an acrylic mold and then immersed in five staining solutions groups: coffee, black tea, Cola, mixed berry juice, and saline. Baseline shade (T0) was recorded using two spectro-photometer devices, VITA Easyshade® Advance (VITA Zahnfabrik, Baden-Wurttemberg, Germany) and Color-Eye® 7000A (X-Rite, Inc., Grand Rapids, Michigan, United States). Following this, the shade was recorded at 30 days (T1), three months (T2), and after 5000 thermocycles (5C-55C) (T3). CIE L*a*b* (International Commission on Illumination color space) data was used to calculate ΔE for each group. Results: All samples showed a significant color change (P<0.001) following one and three months of storage and after thermocycling. AB and BF showed the highest CS over time, whereas FT and FJ showed the least CS. Conclusion: The CS of restorative materials is mostly determined by their type, followed by staining solution type and thermocycling. The most potent solutions were coffee, tea, and berry juice.
Revealing cryptic diversity and population divergence in subtropical aphids through DNA barcoding

Aphids are worldwide distributed pests, which feed on plant sap and cause serious losses to agricultural and forestry industries. Relatively few comprehensive studies have been conducted on aphid diversity in subtropics, although these regions may harbour hidden aphid diversity due to high plant diversity. In this study, we conducted DNA barcoding analysis for aphids in subtropical regions based on a comprehensive DNA barcode reference library including 5821 sequences and related ecological information (e.g. geography, host plant) of 379 morphospecies. In the reference library, 2140 sequences and related data of 151 morphospecies belonging to 77 genera and 11 subfamilies were newly produced by the current study. The average Kimura 2‐parameter distances within species, genera and subfamilies were 0.92%, 3.55% and 8.3%, respectively. The minimum interspecific distances were greater than the maximum intraspecific distances in 79.8% species, suggesting that barcode gaps existed in most aphid species. Automatic barcode gap discovery, Barcode Index Number, Bayesian Poisson tree processes and generalized mixed Yule‐coalescent revealed 419, 401, 462 and 455 single species‐representing clusters, respectively. A total of 32 morphospecies were assigned to more than one subclade respectively, suggesting geography or host plant‐mediated divergences and the existence of cryptic diversity. This study demonstrates that subtropical regions should have a higher species diversity of aphids, and cryptic species in certain morphospecies indicated in this study need to be investigated based on integrative taxonomic practices in the future. The DNA barcode reference library constructed herein provides a robust baseline data set to support future research in taxonomy, phylogenetics, ecology and evolution of aphids.
