Authors: Jamilatun Siti , Nurmustaqimah
Published: January 2025

Utilizing pyrolysis to convert biomass, biomass is an exceptionally promising and environmentally sustainable alternative source of renewable energy. This study investigates the impact of catalysts, specifically activated charcoal and Ni metal-based catalysts, on the pyrolysis outcomes of bagasse at a temperature of 500ºC. The pyrolysis process was conducted with different catalyst weights, namely 2.5 grams and 5 grams, as well as without any catalyst. The quantification of pyrolysis products, such as bio-oil, tar, charcoal, and gas, was conducted by the utilization of a fixed bed reactor. The findings indicate that the utilization of a catalyst has an impact on the pyrolysis yield, albeit resulting in a lower bio-oil yield. The pyrolysis yield was influenced by variations in catalyst weight, with certain instances demonstrating increased bio-oil yields while using a lower catalyst weight. The analysis of the components of bio-oil revealed notable differences depending on the catalyst employed, indicating the possibility of adjusting the features of bio-oil. This study's findings have significant ramifications for applications in the chemical and food industries.

Endophytic fungi were microorganisms that resided within plant tissues without harming their host plants. These fungi acted as biological agents against harmful fungi by utilizing mechanisms like competing for nutrients, parasitism, and antibiosis. This research aimed to isolate and identify the genus groups of endophytic fungi from maize plants (Zea mays L.) and understand the antagonistic mechanisms between endophytic fungi and Fusarium oxysporum Schltdl. Through dual culture tests, the highest inhibitory percentage of endophytic fungi against Fusarium oxysporum Schltdl is determined. in the filtrate and volatile compound tests. Antagonistic activity against pathogenic fungi was determined in vitro through dual culture methods, filtrate culture methods, and volatile compound production. Data obtained from the antagonistic activity of endophytic fungi were analyzed based on the calculation of inhibition percentages. The dual culture method revealed eight isolates effectively restraining the growth of Fusarium oxysporum Schltdl. Among the filtrate culture experiments, isolate B1.1.1 exhibited the most promising outcomes with an inhibition rate of 39.83%. Notably, isolate D2.2.1 displayed the highest inhibition rate of 44.38% in the antagonism test employing the volatile compound production method. Identification was conducted through ITS gene amplification, confirming that isolate D2.2.1 corresponded to Trichoderma harzianum.

Authors: Capritasari Rafiastiana , Akrom  , Setianto Arif Budi
Published: January 2025

One of the incidences of cardiovascular disease is stroke, which is a disease that occurs due to impaired brain function caused by damage to cerebral blood circulation. The presence of risk factors for hyperglycemia or hypertension can result in endothelial nitric oxide (eNOS) dysfunction, thereby causing oxidative stress and vasoconstriction of blood vessels. The renin angiotensin system is involved in the physiopathology of stroke and has an important impact on hypertension. This article targets the role of the renin angiotensin system specifically the inhibition of the angiotensin converting system in cardioprotection and neuroprotection. The mechanism of action of the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system (RAAS) is observed through effects on AT1, AT2 and Mass receptors. The future relationship of cardiovascular disease and the renin-angiotensin system is full of possibilities, as new agonist molecules emerge as potential candidates to limit the impairments caused by cardiovascular disease.

Ruminants have a stomach that can convert NPN compounds as amino acids. This ability has not been effectively utilised. The present study aimed to determine the influence of urea-nitrate supplementation on rumen fermentation profiles
in vitro. The urea-nitrate was prepared by employing the Maillard reaction (MR) using two different sugar sources, i.e., molasses and liquid waste of palm juice. The present study's randomized complete block design consisted of five treatments and four replications. The treatments are T0 = control diet; T1 = T0 + urea; T2 = T0 + urea-nitrate; T3 = T0 + urea-nitrate MR with molasses; T4 = T0 + urea-nitrate MR with liquid waste of palm juice, where urea and urea-nitrate supplementation treatments were expected to enhance dietary crude protein by 2% of the control diet. Results revealed that T3 treatments enhanced ammonia concentration up to 11.4% compared to T0, T1, and T4 (P<0.05). However, treatments were similar in terms of rumen pH, volatile fatty acids, microbial protein synthesis, total gas production, methane production, dry matter digestibility, and organic matter digestibility. In conclusion, the slow release urea-nitrate supplementation in ruminant feed may inhibits ammonia formation in the rumen in vitro.

Breast cancer is one type of cancer that causes the most deaths in women. Currently, doxorubicin chemotherapy treatment is widely used, but due to untargeted side effects, a hydrogel-thermosensitive preparation has been developed by comparing the activity of the active substance curcumin with doxorubicin. This systematic review aims to determine the development of research on the anticancer activity of modified hydrogel-thermosensitive breast cancer and to examine its activity by looking at the IC50 value. The method used in searching for articles was using the Scopus database with the type of literature analyzed, namely research on the cytotoxic activity of curcumin and doxorubicin with key keywords (“Doxorubicin” OR “Curcumin” AND “Breast” AND “Cancer” AND “Therapy” AND “ Cytotoxicity”). The inclusion criteria used were journals containing cytotoxic or anti-breast cancer tests from curcumin and doxorubicin with publication years 2020-2024, and full-text journals. The exclusion criteria used were journals that did not test cytotoxicity on MCF-7 cells, no IC50 value, journals regarding review articles, and paid journals. The analysis results show that curcumin has an IC50 value comparable to doxorubicin with the mechanism of inducing apoptosis in cancer cells by activating caspase 3 and caspase 9. So the development of a thermosensitive hydrogel provides an opportunity for the anticancer activity provided to be more targeted.

Mycoremediation of pesticide-contaminated soil: A review
Authors: Pujiati  , Fatimah  , Ramadhan Rico , Ni’matuzahroh
Published: January 2025

Pesticide contamination in soil presents significant environmental and health risks due to toxic residues. Traditional physical and chemical remediation methods are often expensive, ineffective at low concentrations, and generate toxic by-products. Mycoremediation, utilizing fungi for bioremediation, provides a cost-effective, eco-friendly, and efficient solution. This review explores fungi for remediating pesticide and herbicide pollutants. Indigenous fungi, especially Aspergillus and Penicillium species, show substantial potential in bioremediating xenobiotics like organochlorine and organophosphorus pesticides due to their versatile enzymatic systems. These fungi degrade pesticides into less toxic metabolites or entirely mineralize them within days, using the compounds for carbon, sulfur, and phosphorus. Fungi possess specific gene clusters for pesticide utilization, making them valuable for managing contamination from pesticides such as glyphosate. Mycoremediation offers a promising alternative, as fungi can degrade and detoxify pesticides through biochemical mechanisms like oxidation and reduction reactions. Using indigenous fungi in bioremediation reduces pesticide toxicity, supports sustainable agriculture, maintains soil fertility, and prevents biomagnification. This review examines recent studies on fungi in degrading pesticide-contaminated land and provides scientific evidence supporting mycoremediation as a solution for soil contamination.

This study explores the cultural significance of music in culinary traditions, examining how sound fosters social interaction, strengthens community ties, and enhances the sensory experience of food. Despite the longstanding relationship between music and food in various cultures, research on its impact on social bonds and cultural identity is limited. The study utilizes semi-structured interviews with chefs, ethnomusicologists, and cultural practitioners, alongside participant observation at cultural festivals, communal meals, and rituals in Java. The findings reveal that music enhances the sensory perception of food and creates an atmosphere that strengthens communal bonds during meals. It also carries symbolic meanings linked to cultural rituals, serving as a way to transmit culinary knowledge and reinforce cultural identity. Specific soundscapes evoke emotional responses that complement the taste and texture of food, resulting in a more immersive dining experience. The study concludes that music is not just an accompaniment to food but an essential part of culinary traditions, promoting social cohesion and preserving cultural heritage. By highlighting the multisensory connection between sound and food, this research broadens our understanding of how music shapes communal dining experiences and cultural identities across societies. It also opens new interdisciplinary avenues between ethnomusicology, anthropology, and sensory science.

Published: January 2025

BackgroundMinimally invasive extracorporeal circulation (MiECC) has been introduced to mitigate the inflammatory response and reduce blood transfusion needs compared to conventional cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) perioperatively. A hybrid system (HS) that merges aspects of both traditional CPB and MiECC aims to optimize patient perioperative outcomes. This study focuses on comparing the postoperative transfusion rates, intensive care unit (ICU) course, and biochemical parameters between the HS and MiECC. Materials and MethodsThis prospective, randomized, controlled, single-center study was conducted at Koşuyolu High Specialization Education and Research Hospital, Istanbul from February 2024 to June 2024. Forty patients undergoing isolated coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) were included, with 20 patients in the HS-group and 20 in the MiECC-group.  Results
The cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) time was not significantly shorter in the HS group compared to the MiECC group (93.35 ± 33.06 minutes vs. 108.65 ± 30.02 minutes, p = 0.134). Hemoglobin levels did not differ significantly between the groups preoperatively, perioperatively, or postoperatively at 6, 12, and 24 hours no difference in red blood cells unit transfusion. Indexed oxygen delivery did not differ significantly between the HS and MiECC groups (311.60 ± 28.29 ml/min/m² vs. 332.25 ± 57.04 ml/min/m², p = 0.275). Partial pressure of oxygen (PaO₂) was higher in the MiECC group (210.90 ± 49.64 mmHg vs. 177.70 ± 70.41 mmHg, p = 0.093), but this difference was also not statistically significant. Biochemical parameters showed notable differences.  Conclusions
The hybrid system (HS) demonstrated comparable results to the MiECC in patients undergoing isolated CABG. No significant differences were observed in CPB time or postoperative blood transfusion requirements. However, the HS group showed favorable biochemical parameters, including significantly lower postoperative lactate levels and troponin levels at 6 hours.
Prediction of parison formation using process data in extrusion blow molding
Authors: Tokunaga Tomohiro , Kajiwara Toshihisa , Nakayama Yasuya
Published: January 2025

In the extrusion process for plastic fuel tanks, laminated molten polymeric material is extruded and is molded into a hollow cylindrical shape called a parison. Accurately predicting the shape of a parison made from material of inhomogeneous viscoelasticity is a challenging issue. In this study, a numerical simulation based on process data is developed that is capable of predicting the parison shape during production. The process data (extrudate swell, drawdown, and temperature distribution) are collected from the production process and is utilized to develop a simulation model. Comparison of parison shapes extruded by production equipment against numerical simulations verifies for prediction of the distributions of the diameter and thickness of the parison shape to within ±20% of measured values, even under conditions different from those under which the data is obtained except for the data around large and fast stroke changes. The results show the possibility to predict parison shapes close to the one in production without directly solving the complex flow of inhomogeneous viscoelastic materials.

Plagiarism in Publications: All about Being Fair!
Authors: Lalwani Neeraj
Published: January 2025

Upholding the highest standards of publication ethics is critical for ensuring the integrity of scholarly work, maintaining public trust, and advancing knowledge responsibly in academia. Plagiarism, defined as intellectual theft, is a significant ethical issue that undermines these principles. There are many forms of plagiarism, including direct, self, mosaic, and accidental plagiarism. Plagiarism is prevalent across the globe, but the problem is worse in developing countries due to numerous factors, such as social and economic conditions and lack of knowledge. The digital age has further exacerbated the situation, as easy access to artificial intelligence and online content facilitates plagiarism. To combat this problem, it is essential to recognize the importance of originality and the consequences of plagiarism, including damage to one's professional reputation, legal repercussions, and loss of credibility and trust. Educational institutions and publishers can play a crucial role in promoting a culture of fairness by implementing clear guidelines, providing training on ethical research practices, and enforcing strict consequences for violations. By encouraging an environment that values honesty, transparency, and respect for intellectual property, the academic community can uphold high ethical standards and contribute to the evolution of knowledge with integrity.
