Misi dan Diakonia dalam Gereja
Authors: Eleven Sihotang
Published: March 2022

Mission and diakonia are two things but unity which is integrated within a church body. A church not as a church if it doesn’t do mission and diakonia. Diakonia is a mission in action. To do diakonia it means to be ready to witness about God’s love. The existence of the church is to proclaim the Good News to the poor; to heal the sick and brokenhearted; freedom to the prisoners and recovery of sight for the blind, to set the oppressed free and to create serenity to the people in hardship, injustice, and the victim of violence, sex abuse and other difficult circumstances. Proclaiming of the church through diakonia services by using hands, feet, eyes, noses, mouths, ears, heart and all part of the church body. Preach the Gospel it’s not only from the pulpit but go in to amid of people in need and do diakonia services.

Published: March 2022

The uses of indigenous plants vary amongst native communities, from being consumed as vegetables, used as flavourings or added as an aromatic enhancer. However, records of their traditional use are sparse and most of the native knowledge on applications of these indigenous plants has not been passed down to later generations. The present study aims to record and identify communal knowledge from the Central Region of Sarawak with regards to the use of indigenous plants as food flavourings or aromatic enhancers. Face-to-face interviews with 150 respondents were conducted in a semi-structured manner to obtain the required information. A total of 27 plant species from 20 families were identified for their use by native people as food flavouring or aromatic enhancement. Zingiberaceae was found to be the most prevalent family of plants in this study with a representation of four species. Leaves were the part of the plants most commonly utilized by natives for flavouring purposes with 12 species being utilized in this manner. The mode of cooking varies within the community according to a preference for taste and aroma intensity as well as inherited oral knowledge passed down from older generations. This study recommends a full nutrient content analysis for the identified plant species shortly.

The invertebrate species play different roles above and below ground in a soil ecosystem. They are also responsible for a complex interaction, which is manifested in soils as self-organized systems of different sizes and functions. These invertebrates are sensitive to any changes in land management activities and soil physio-chemical properties. Therefore, the current study aims to examine the ecosystem functions of soil invertebrates from different agriculture fields and establish the relationships of soil physio-chemical properties. Soil samples were collected from four different fields: three are from the main campus, namely Universiti Putra Malaysia (Center of Environmental and Forensic Studies (CEFS), papaya and organic farm), and one is from Nilai, Negeri Sembilan. The soil physical properties, such as moisture, temperature, particle size, bulk density, and soil porosity, were recorded. Soil chemical properties (EC, pH, total C&N, C/N ratio, organic matter, extractable P, Ca, Mg, K, and Na, CEC) were also determined. Pitfall traps and Berlese funnel were used as sampling methods. The invertebrates were stored in 70% ethanol and identified using soil invertebrate morphological classification, which was classified based on body size and biological functional groups. Macrofauna composition in the papaya farm was abundant from other sites at 80.44%, and ecosystem engineers comprised 39.56%. By contrast, mesofauna was abundant with 43.22% in organic farms, and litter transformers were abundant in CEFS at 54.05%. Meanwhile, microfauna was high in organic farms at 2.85%. Predatory populations were also high in Nilai farm at 49.29%. The CCA analysis showed that the physical and chemical properties of soil influence soil fauna density and diversity. The present finding concludes that the activities of ecosystem functions of soil invertebrates were considerably affected by agricultural and management activities

Nine commercial varieties of pineapples in Malaysia (Josapine, Maspine, MD2, Sarawak, Gandul, N36, Moris, Crystal Honey and Yankee) were collected from various places in Peninsular Malaysia and analysed for cultivar identifications using nine simple sequence repeat (SSR) markers. A total of 27 alleles have been observed which ranged from 2 to 5 with an average of 3 alleles per locus. The polymorphic information content (PIC) value ranged from 0.3426 (Acom_82.8) to 0.6561 (Acom_67.2) with a mean of 0.4524 while the heterozygosity value ranged from 0.1097 (TsuAC021) to 0.8010 (TsuAC039) with a mean of 0.5481. The pairwise Nei’s genetic distances had also been calculated and the value ranged from 0.0562 (Gandul and Josapine) to 0.6383 (MD2 and Yankee) with an average value of 0.3169. The above data emphasised a moderate level of polymorphisms among the nine varieties. A dendrogram was constructed by using the unweighted pair group method with arithmetic mean (UPGMA) which showed all the nine successfully differentiated pineapple commercial varieties. A principal coordinate analysis (PCoA) was also had been generated which revealed an agreement with the dendrogram output. Therefore, these nine SSR markers can be used to identify the nine selected commercial varieties to ensure pure planting materials.

Rhododendron arboreum Sm. has wide applications in food and beverage, medicines, and cosmetics because the plant contains bioactive phytochemical components. In Thailand, other than for horticultural purposes, scant literature describes the potential applications of this Rhododendron species. Phytochemical composition, biological activity, and cell cytotoxicity of R. arboreum Sm. flower petal and leaf extracts were determined. Ethanolic extracts of fresh and dried flower petals (FF and DF, respectively) and dried leaves (DL) of R. arboreum were prepared by maceration with 60% ethanol for 7 days. Extraction yields of both FF and DF were higher than DL (19.22, 16.76, and 8.50% for FF, DF, and DL, respectively). Preliminary qualitative phytochemical screening showed different compositions in diverse plant parts. Saponins and tannins were present in every extract, with anthraquinones detected only in flowers and terpenoids only in leaves. Total phenolic (TPC) and flavonoid contents (TFC) were highest in DL (405.21 mg gallic acid equivalent and 127.30 mg catechin equivalent per g of dry extract, respectively), followed by DF and FF. Antioxidant properties were determined using two radical scavenging assays as 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) and 2,2-azinobis(3-ethyl-benzthiazoline-6-sulfonic acid (ABTS). Results indicated that all extracts exhibited better inhibitory activity against DPPH radical than ABTS radical as evidenced by lower IC50 range 24.65-48.15 ìg/mL for DPPH and 65.19-76.36 ìg/mL for ABTS, respectively. A positive correlation coefficient between the two antioxidant assays and TPC and TFC of Rhododendron extracts indicated antioxidant potential distributed in both components. No cytotoxicity was recorded in the three extracts, with concentrations less than 500 μg/mL for both 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide (MTT) and CellTiter-Blue® assay. In vitro studiesexhibited dose-dependent and strong anti-melanogenic and anti-inflammatory activities ranging from 50 to 250 μg/mL for FF, DF, and DL. Results identified various bioactive constituents with potential biological activity (antioxidant, antiinflammatory, and anti-melanogenic), while non-cytotoxicity in R. arboreum flower and leaf extracts suggested the possibility of further applications as a functional ingredient in cosmetics.

Published: March 2022

Evidences have shown that coastal water as habitat that support various flora and fauna as well as nursery ground which highlight the importance of water quality monitoring that act as basis for productivity of fisheries. Therefore, the objective of this study is to analyse the temporal and spatial variations of selected water quality parameters in sergestid shrimp’s habitat along the coastal water of Miri, Sarawak. Nine water quality parameters namely dissolved oxygen (DO), temperature, turbidity, pH, salinity, chlorophyll a (chl a), total suspended solid (TSS), nitrate (NO3-) and orthophosphate (PO43-) were measured in four stations along Miri coastal water. The variation explained by the principal component analysis had a total variance of 55.95%. The PC1 shows that the waters in July 2017, September 2017, October 2017, December 2017 and January 2018 were characterized with high turbidity and TSS as well as low temperature and salinity. In contrast, stations in November 2017, March 2018 and April 2018 had warmer and clear water with high salinity reading, whereby blooms of sergestid shrimps were observed in March and April 2018. The PC2 result shows that in May 2017 and June 2017, coastal waters were characterized with low pH reading. Overall, the water quality parameters measured in all stations were close to the standard value of Class E of Malaysian Marine Water Quality Standards (MMWQS).
Military and Populism: A Global Tour with a Special Emphasis on the Case of Pakistan
Authors:   European Center for Populism Studies (ECPS), Yilmaz Ihsan , Saleem Raja M. Ali
Published: March 2022

Although populism has become a focus of research in the last decade, there hasn’t been much academic work on how militaries around the world have reacted/acted to the rise of populist leaders. There is some timeworn research on the relationship of militaries in Latin America with various left-wing populist governments and leaders from the 1930s to 1970s. Given that populism was largely understood in the context of left-wing politics, with the rise of right-wing populism, the literature on the military and populism needs to be advanced by studying the relationship between right-wing populism and the military. This article aims to address this gap by looking at the right-wing populism case study of Pakistan, where the military has actively participated in the rise of a religious populist leader. To situate the case study within the larger literature of the military and populism, the dynamics and history of military associations with populism and populist leaders are revisited in the article’s first part.
Influence of Structural Break on the Power of ADF Unit Root Test
Authors:   Huazhong University of Science and Technology, chen xinchen
Published: March 2022

With the changes in economic structure and social development, the paths of most economic variables show the characteristics of structural changes. Traditional unit root tests, such as ADF and PP tests, often lead to wrong conclusions about data stationarity characteristics when considering such structural variation factors. This paper considers the test power of ADF statistic with one structural break using Monte Carlo simulation when the data generating process has double breaks in both intercept and slope. The results show that when there is a structural break in the data generating process if the conventional unit root test is performing without considering this break, the ADF test is still efficient when the degree of the structural break is relatively low. Furthermore, this paper discusses the influence of the size of the sample, break position and break degree on the power of the ADF statistic test under the premise of a low break degree.

Authors: Jalatami Aulia'fi , Putri Tiara
Published: March 2022

The sea is considered a waste disposal place because of its large volume of water and the ability to dilute all kinds of foreign substances. The community has ignored marine pollution for many years and gradually causes pollution effects from waste disposal. More and more waste is being dumped into the sea and has a high concentration. If waste disposal into the sea is carried out sustainably, it is feared that it will cause global impacts from marine pollution. The purpose of this study was to determine student perceptions of the plastic diet program as an effort to save marine ecosystems. This study uses a qualitative descriptive method, with the distribution of questionnaires, with respondents being a student in DKI Jakarta. From the research results obtained from 31 samples, the perception of students studying in DKI Jakarta towards the plastic diet as an effort to save the marine ecosystem is very positive and supports the movement. This finding is evidenced by the student's knowledge of the importance of maintaining marine ecosystems, the dangers of plastic waste, and efforts to make the plastic diet program successful in DKI Jakarta.

The direct numerical simulation (DNS) is an effective and useful tool in the two-phase fluid flow studying. The projection method on the staggered grid was applied in this paper to solve the incompressible Navier-Stokes equations in irregular domains at the pore-scale level (irregular boundary is presented by its level-set function). The permeability of porous medium which was constructed by the random positioning of penetrable spheres of equal radii were numerically calculated and validated by comparing with theoretical estimations of permeability based on the numerical solution of the lattice-Boltzmann equation in irregular domains in previous works. All numerical calculations were performed using PARIS simulator.

Coronavirus and the Chinese Stock Market: Pandemic Versus Financial Crisis
Authors: Nsour Maen F , Al-Rjoub Samer AM , Tayeh Mohammad
Published: March 2022

This paper explores the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the Shanghai Stock Exchange (SSE) index returns and volatility from October 2019 to March 2020. The GARCH results show that the pandemic negatively affected the SSE stock returns during the spread of the virus, and the conditional variance showed increased variation at the time. However, the increased volatility did not cause a market crash as Patel & Sarkar (1998) and Mishkin & White (2002) reported. The negative effect on stock returns and the increased volatility might be justified because well-diversified markets can alter the wealth effects on composite stock markets, and they can make a quick recovery after crises. When comparing the effects of the pandemic to those of the 2008 financial crisis on SSE returns, the results show higher risk values and much thicker tails of probability distribution during the pandemic. Both the Covid-19 pandemic and the 2008 financial crisis negatively affected stock returns, but the effect on volatility was stronger during the pandemic.

Penetapan lokasi tempat perhentian angkutan umum (TPAU) dipengaruhi oleh banyak faktor. Kriteria penentuan lokasi TPAU yang sudah pasti adalah bahwa TPAU yang direncanakan harus berada pada jalur trayek yang akan dilayaninya. Selain itu, identifikasi lokasi kantung penumpang menjadi faktor penting yang harus dipertimbangan dalam penetapan TPAU. Kantung-kantung penumpang akan berdekatan dengan tata guna lahan pemukiman, dengan demikian tata guna lahan menjadi salah satu faktor penting yang dapat mempengaruhi pengambilan keputusan lokasi TPAU. Faktor-faktor lainnya yaitu: lokasi simpang, jarak perjalanan, rencana halte harus berada dekat dengan tata guna lahan berupa pemukiman dengan melakukan intersect antara buffer trayek dengan tata guna lahan pemukiman, rencana lokasi halte harus sedekat mungkin dengan kantung penumpang. Selain itu rencana lokasi perhentian angkutan umum/halte dilarang berada di simpang dengan radius kurang dari 25 meter juga menjadi kriteria pertimbangan penetapan lokasi TPAU.

Longsornya tanah di wilayah yang dilewati oleh rel kereta api akan berdampak pada kurang maksimalnya kinerja dari kereta tersebut. Pada lintasan Notog – Stasiun Kebasen di kilometer 359+600 merupakan wilayah yang rawan akan longsoran. Hal ini dapat menyebabkan terjadinya PLH (Peristiwa Luar Biasa Hebat). Untuk dapat menyelesaikan ini maka diperlukan metode untuk memperbaiki wilayah yang rawan longsor seperti metode perbaikan stabilitas tebing ataupun shotcrete. Melalui hasil analisis yang dilakukan, dapat disimpulkan bahwa longsoran ini diakibatkan oleh sudut lereng dengan kecuraman 70-8- derajat dengan ketinggian 11 meter. Kemudian sistem drainase yang ada juga mengalami kerusakan, sehingga dapat berat tanah bertambah dan tekanan tanah ikut meningkat.

Asumsi yang digunakan saat ini dalam hal penyediaan armada angkutan umum adalah tetap untuk setiap waktu, sehingga pada waktu jam tidak sibuk banyak angkutan umum mempunyai faktor isian (load factor) rendah, sedangkan pada jam sibuk faktor isian yang terjadi tinggi.  

Di samping itu, rute angkutan umum yang baik harus dapat menjangkau seluruh wilayah dan memenuhi kepentingan beberapa pihak terkait seperti penumpang (user), pengelola (operator) dan pemerintah (regulator) yang pada umumnya kepentingan tersebut saling bertolak belakang. Misalnya, penumpang menginginkan jumlah armada yang sebesar mungkin sehingga waktu menunggu menjadi minimal dan faktor isian angkutan umum serendah mungkin.

Angkutan yang beroperasi lebih dari yang diijinkan oleh pemerintah, sedangkan tingkat operasi berada dibawah 100 % artinya tidak semua kendaraan yang diizinkan digunakan sebagai kendaraan operasi. Hal ini disebabkan permintaan angkutan penumpang yang relatif sedikit, sehingga kendaraan yang beroperasi lebih sedikit.

Hampir seluruh zona di wilayah Kabupaten Bekasi memiliki nilai rendah (dibawah standar) apabila dilihat dari analisis jangkauan pelayanan. Pengembangan dan penataan trayek untuk meningkatkan aksebilitas dan jangkauan pelayanan terutama pada zona taruma jaya, zona babelan, zona sukawangi yang saat ini sangat minim pelayanan angkutan umum.

Background: Candida is the part of normal microbial flora of human body that potentially causes disease in the immune compromised host. Though C. albicans is regarded as most virulent species, non- albicans Candida are increasingly being reported in clinical samples which warrant their accurate identification that helps in directing the effective use of antifungal agents.

Methods: The study was done in clinical isolates of Candida species obtained at clinical laboratory, Nobel Hospital, Kathmandu from the period of May 2014 to April 2015. Phenotypic characterization was based on the observation of growth characteristic on Sabouraud’s Dextrose Agar, Grams’ staining, germ tube formation and characteristics appearance in CHROMagar.

Results: A total of 51 isolates were identified as Candida species. C. albicans (64.7%) predominated non albicans Candida (35.3%). The majority of non albicans Candida were C. tropicalis. Germ tube formation test was positive for all C. albicans which produced light green color in CHROM agar.

Conclusion: CHROM agar can be routinely used to identify different Candida species from clinical samples.

Published: March 2022

Esophageal varices are one of the most serious consequence of portal hypertension in patients with liver diseases If undetected or left untreated, it can result in massive upper gastrointestinal bleed and can be fatal. Therefore, a timely detection and management of the varices in cirrhotic patient is a must. Several studies have evaluated possible noninvasive  markers of esophageal varices to reduce the number of unnecessary endoscopies in patients with cirrhosis but without  varices. Endoscopic surveillance of esophageal varices in patients with liver cirrhosis is expensive for the health system  and uncomfortable for the patients. Recently, non-invasive ultrasound-based parameters seem to offer valuable information  about the status of esophageal varices and thus challenge the need for repetitive endoscopic monitoring. In this study, our  aim was to develop a predictive model using an independent risk factor for the presence of varices in the enrolled patients. This is a cross-sectional study. The study analyzed 50 patients with liver diseases from February 2014 to January 2015. All the patients with cirrhosis of either gender except those with hepatocellular carcinoma and previous surgical or medical  intervention for portal hypertension were enrolled in the study. Ultrasound of the abdomen was done in all cases to note  the portal vein diameter. The varices visualized were graded endoscopically. Data entry was done in SPSS version 20 and statistical analysis was done with Chi Square test. Total 50 patients were enrolled in the test. Varices was present in 47  (96%) of the patients. Small varices were present in 13 (26%) and large varices was present in 34 (68%) of patients. For  the patients with small varices, the mean portal vein diameter was 13.23 mm and for those with large varices, the mean  portal vein diameter was 16.83 mm. The above results signify that the presence of varices was associated with the mean portal vein diameter of 13.23 mm or more and the result was statistically significant with the p value of 0.024 Measurement  of portal vein diameter by ultrasonography can be used as a non-invasive predictive indicator of the development of gastro- esophageal varices in patients with portal hypertension.

Emergency contraceptive pill (ECP) is also called as morning after pill which is indicated after unprotected coitus, sexual abuse and nonuse of regular contraception to avoid unwanted pregnancy. The present study was conducted to evaluate the knowledge, attitude and current use of emergency contraceptive pill among the medical and paramedical students. Institution based cross- sectional descriptive study was conducted at Gandaki medical college and The School of Health and Allied sciences from August 2015-Janawary 2016.Data was collected using structured questionnaire and analyzed using Microsoft excel 2007. Out of 181 respondents 40.9% were male and 59.1% were female students. 91.2% respondents were from urban area and 86.2% were Hindu. As compared to female students, male students have more knowledge about the ECPs. However, female students were more correct than male students regarding the proper administration time of ECP. Although recipients have positive attitude regarding ECPs, majority of them believed that ECPs have harmful effects to the body. Mainly due to the humiliation and lack of proper knowledge, male respondents and female respondents respectively felt challenges to use ECPs. It is concluded the misinformation regarding ECPs is high among the respondents. Therefore, effective awareness program should be lunched to educate them regarding the ECPs and to protect young females from the risk of unsafe abortion.

Urinary tract infection (UTI) is common and serious health problem affecting millions of people worldwide  each year especially females. Treatment of UTI relies on the bacteriological profile and the knowledge of their  antibiotic susceptibility pattern. A cross-sectional study was done in Kantipur Hospital, Kathmandu. Tools for  data collection were a data collection form. Total 1246 urine sample from patient suspected of UTI was  reviewed, out of which 369 (29.61%) of urine sample showed significant growth. UTI was prevalent in females  of age group 21-30 being Escherichia coli (62.3%) predominant one. Altogether 199 multi drug resistance strains were isolated. Empirical treatment of UTI should be discouraged.
La censura franquista en la literatura infantil y juvenil: el caso de Sixto el pequeñín
Authors: Tena Fernández Ramón
Published: March 2022

El tardofranquismo ha sido entendido como un periodo en el que la censura era solo un trámite administrativo. Sin embargo, obras como Censuras y LIJ en el siglo XX (2016) o La censura cultural en el franquismo (2021a) demuestran que fueron los años de mayor represión. La obra Sixto el pequeñín es un ejemplo de la dureza de los revisores. Pues, aunque el cuento estaba fechado en 1971, sus personajes eran católicos y presentaba una finalidad didáctica, se prohibieron treinta de sus cuarenta páginas. En este artículo rescatamos el informe del censor y analizamos las tachaduras del libreto original, para identificar qué se prohibió, cómo y por qué.

Published: March 2022

Objective: The aim of this study was to investigate antioxidant activities of cinnamon (Cinnamomum cassia) extracts (extracted with different solvents) at various concentrations and to determine product quality of raw chicken patties added with different levels of cinnamon powder (CP) and oyster mushroon powder (OMP) during storage.Methods: After cinnamon was made into oven dried CP and extracted with water and different levels (50%, 80%, and 100%) of ethanol, antioxidant activities of these extracts were determined. CP and OMP were combined at different levels and added to raw chicken patties. Physicochemical properties and microbial counts were measured during refrigerated storage.Results: Cinnamon ethanol (80%) extract showed the highest (p<0.05) by 2,2-diphenyl-1 picrylhydrazyl-radical scavenging activity and reducing power. Cinnamon water extract (CWE) had the highest iron chelating ability (p<0.05), while CP 100% ethanol extract had the highest content of total phenolic compound. Then, CP and OMP were applied to chicken patties at different levels (0.1% to 0.2%). After the addition of CPs, pH, L* (lightness), 2-thiobarbituric acid reactive substance, and volatile basic nitrogen values were decreased, whereas a* (redness) and b* (yellowness) values were increased. Microbial counts of total bacteria and Enterobacteriaceace were decreased with the addition of CP 0.2% regardless of the OMP level.Conclusion: The addition of CP in combination with OMP can increase the shelf-life of chicken patties during storage.

Published: March 2022

Objective: This study aimed to identify the genetic diversity and population structure of Mongolian horse populations according to the province of residence (Khentii, KTP; Uvs, USP; Omnogovi and Dundgovi, GOP; Khovsgol, KGP) using 14 microsatellite (MS) markers.Methods: A total of 269 whole blood samples were obtained from the four populations (KTP, USP, GOP, KGP) geographically distinct provinces. Multiplex polymerase chain reaction (PCR) was conducted using 14 MS markers (AHT4, ASB2, ASB17, ASB23, CA425, HMS1, HMS2, HMS3, HMS6, HMS7, HTG4, HTG6, HTG7, and VHL20), as recommended by the International Society for Animal Genetics. Capillary electrophoresis was conducted using the amplified PCR products, alleles were determined. Alleles were used for statistical analysis of genetic variability, Nei’s DA genetic distance, principal coordinate analysis (PCoA), factorial corresponding analysis (FCA), and population structure.Results: On average, the number of alleles, expected heterozygosity (HExp), observed heterozygosity (HObs), and polymorphic information content among all populations were 11.43, 0.772, 0.757, and 0.737, respectively. In the PCoA and FCA, GOP, and KGP were genetically distinct from other populations, and the KTP and USP showed a close relationship. The two clusters identified using Nei’s DA genetic distance analysis and population structure highlighted the presence of structurally clear genetic separation.Conclusion: Overall, the results of this study suggest that genetic diversity between KTP and USP was low, and that between GOP and KGP was high. It is thought that these results will help in the effective preservation and improvement of Mongolian horses through genetic diversity analysis and phylogenetic relationships.

Objective: The objectives of this study were to evaluate the effects of daily feed intake during the laying period on embryonic myogenic differentiation 1 (MYOD1), myogenic factor 5 (MYF5), and myogenic factor 6 (MYF6) gene expression in genetically fat and lean lines of chickens.Methods: An experiment in a 2×2 factorial design was conducted with two dietary intake levels (100% and 75% of nutrition recommendation) and two broiler chicken lines (fat and lean). Two lines of hens (n = 384 for each line) at 23th week of age were randomly divided into 4 treatments with 12 replicates of 16 birds. The experiment started at 27th week of age (5% egg rate) and ended at 54th week of age. Hatched eggs from the medium laying period were collected. Real time polymerase chain reaction analysis was used to analyse the MYOD1, MYF5, and MYF6 mRNA levels of E7, E9, E11, E13, and E15 body tissues and E17, E19, and E21 chest and thigh muscle samples.Results: The results indicated that there were significant effects of line, dietary intake, and interactions between them on MYOD1, MYF5, and MYF6 gene mRNA expression levels in embryonic tissues. Low daily feed intake did not change the expression trend of MYOD1 mRNA in either line, but changed the peak values, especially in lean line. Low daily feed intake altered the trend in MYF5 mRNA expression level in both lines and apparently delayed its onset. There was no apparent effect of low daily feed intake on the trends of MYF6 mRNA expression levels in either line, but it significantly changed the values on many embryonic days.Conclusion: Maternal nutrient restriction affects myogenesis and is manifested in the expression of embryonic MYOD1, MYF5, and MYF6 genes. Long term selection for fat deposition in broiler chickens changes the pattern and intensity of myogenesis.
