Padi merupakan tanaman pokok di Indonesia, yang termasuk negara agraris ini. Kebanyakan para petani memilih tanaman padi sebagai tanaman utama untuk lahan pertanian. Mulai dari lahan hingga iklim tropis yang terjadi di Indonesia sangat cocok untuk tanaman padi. Diantara dukungan-dukungan tersebut muncul rintangan yang harus dihadapi para petani. Mulai dari hama hingga penyakit-penyakit pada tanaman padi. Selama ini untuk mendeteksi penyakit daun tanaman padi, petani akan berkonsultasi dengan petugas penyuluh yang posisinya berada di Kcamatan secara manual dan langsung. Dosen dan mahasiswa STIKI telah menciptakan produk unggul dengan menerapkan teknologi inovasi, yaitu PADISICK. Aplikasi ini dapat diakses menggunakan handphone, cukup petani hanya mengupload foto daun padi yang terkait penyakit, maka sistem PADISICK memberikan informasi terkait jenis penyakitnya dan penangan dini. Sehingga ini cukup efisien bagi petani, khususnya kelompok tani Wanita dan pria di Desa Kepuharjo Karangplosa Kabupaten Malang. Hasil dari kegiatan pengabdian ini menunjukan hasil, respon petani beserta perangkat desa dan petugas penyuluhan yang sangat baik di angka 98%.

Published: August 2024

This study sought to analyzed English linguistic landscapes in South Korea to find out the kinds of businesses, shop, street and directional signs that are represented in English. A corpus of 500 public and commercial English signs (clothing, shoes, accessories, beauty products, children’s toys restaurants, cafes, hotel names, supermarket, mall names and street names, tourist attractions and street names) was collected from some South Korean cities during the author’s visit in September 2023. In addition, a sample of Korean colleagues who are university professors were surveyed to find out why the number of English signages has considerably increased compared to the status of English signs two decades ago. While most business and street signages are still in Korean, there are notably a good amount of English signages which represent international as well as local brand names. The most frequent businesses with English signs are food and beverage shops (27%), clothing, shoes, handbags, lingerie and beauty product shops (24%), hotel name signs (17%), directional signs (11%), malls, supermarkets and convenience stores (5%), entertainment shops, games, gyms, clubs, music, and theme parks (4%) and miscellaneous kinds of shop, businesses and public service names (5%). Businesses, shops, directional and service signs with English sign names include international hotel chains, clothing shops, cafes and Franchised shops with English names are Sheraton, Marriott, Starbucks, Burger King, McDonnalds, Pizza Hut; local Korean brand names transliterated in English, and local English names created by the Korean shop owners. The Korean professors believe that use of foreign names attract shoppers' attention more than Korean names. More international tourists and foreigners who are residing in South Korea can be reached. They also gave globalization factors that affect the preference for English sign names. Recommendations for exploring the status of English sign names in non-English speaking countries as Russia, China, Indonesia and others are still needed in addition to studies that show how the national identity can be preserved in the commercial sector in the face of English-flooded linguistic landscapes around the world.

Published: August 2024

English is evolving into a lingua franca, reflecting its capabilities in global communication. Educators are challenged to prepare students for this linguistic landscape. The ELF teaching component facilitates effective cross-cultural communication, which is essential in today's interconnected world. This study aims to explore the implementation and pre-service teachers' perceptions of English as a Lingua Franca (ELF) and provide insights for Indonesian teacher preparation programs and curriculum development. The research design used mixed methods, with questionnaires and interviews as research instruments, and involved 64 pre-service English teachers in Indonesia. Convenience sampling was used to collect quantitative data. Google Form responses from the participants were taken for data analysis and tabulation. Descriptive statistics were conducted on the data using the Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS v. 20). The results show the importance of improving pre-service teachers' understanding and implementation of ELF teaching practices in Indonesia. They need assistance in implementing ELF-based teaching approaches. Recommendations are given to incorporate ELF more effectively into the curriculum and teacher training to support the development of their teaching skills. Therefore, ELF teaching not only influences English language teaching but also plays an essential role in preparing students to communicate in a multilingual global context. Through better understanding and implementation of ELF teaching practices, teachers can help students develop critical cross-cultural communication skills.

ObjectiveThis retrospective cohort study aimed to investigate the composition and diversity of lung microbiota in patients with severe pneumonia and explore its association with short-term prognosis.MethodsA total of 301 patients diagnosed with severe pneumonia underwent bronchoalveolar lavage fluid metagenomic next-generation sequencing (mNGS) testing from February 2022 to January 2024. After applying exclusion criteria, 236 patients were included in the study. Baseline demographic and clinical characteristics were compared between survival and non-survival groups. Microbial composition and diversity were analyzed using alpha and beta diversity metrics. Additionally, LEfSe analysis and machine learning methods were employed to identify key pathogenic microorganism associated with short-term mortality. Microbial interaction modes were assessed through network co-occurrence analysis.ResultsThe overall 28-day mortality rate was 37.7% in severe pneumonia. Non-survival patients had a higher prevalence of hypertension and exhibited higher APACHE II and SOFA scores, higher procalcitonin (PCT), and shorter hospitalization duration. Microbial α and β diversity analysis showed no significant differences between the two groups. However, distinct species diversity patterns were observed, with the non-survival group showing a higher abundance of Acinetobacter baumannii, Klebsiella pneumoniae, and Enterococcus faecium, while the survival group had a higher prevalence of Corynebacterium striatum and Enterobacter. LEfSe analysis identified 29 distinct terms, with 10 potential markers in the non-survival group, including Pseudomonas sp. and Enterococcus durans. Machine learning models selected 16 key pathogenic bacteria, such as Klebsiella pneumoniae, significantly contributing to predicting short-term mortality. Network co-occurrence analysis revealed greater complexity in the non-survival group compared to the survival group, with differences in central genera.ConclusionOur study highlights the potential significance of lung microbiota composition in predicting short-term prognosis in severe pneumonia patients. Differences in microbial diversity and composition, along with distinct microbial interaction modes, may contribute to variations in short-term outcomes. Further research is warranted to elucidate the clinical implications and underlying mechanisms of these findings.

Published: August 2024

IntroductionDifferentiating hypertensive heart disease (HHD) from hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) is crucial yet challenging due to overlapping clinical and morphological features. Recent studies have explored the use of various cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) parameters to distinguish between these conditions, but findings have remained inconclusive. This study aims to identify which CMR parameters effectively discriminate between HHD and HCM and to investigate their underlying pathophysiological mechanisms through a meta-analysis.MethodsThe researchers conducted a systematic and comprehensive search for all studies that used CMR to discriminate between HHD and HCM and calculated the Hedges'g effect size for each of the included studies, which were then pooled using a random-effects model and tested for the effects of potential influencing variables through subgroup and regression analyses.ResultsIn this review, 26 studies encompassing 1,349 HHD and 1,581 HCM cases were included for meta-analysis. Analysis revealed that HHD showed a significant lower in T1 mapping (g = −0.469, P &lt; 0.001), extracellular volume (g = −0.417, P = 0.024), left ventricular mass index (g = −0.437, P &lt; 0.001), and maximal left ventricular wall thickness (g = −2.076, P &lt; 0.001), alongside a significant higher in end-systolic volume index (g = 0.993, P &lt; 0.001) and end-diastolic volume index (g = 0.553, P &lt; 0.001), compared to HCM.ConclusionThis study clearly demonstrates that CMR parameters can effectively differentiate between HHD and HCM. HHD is characterized by significantly lower diffuse interstitial fibrosis and myocardial hypertrophy, along with better-preserved diastolic function but lower systolic function, compared to HCM. The findings highlight the need for standardized CMR protocols, considering the significant influence of MRI machine vendors, post-processing software, and study regions on diagnostic parameters. These insights are crucial for improving diagnostic accuracy and optimizing treatment strategies for patients with HHD and HCM.Systematic Review Registrationhttps://www.crd.york.ac.uk/prospero/display_record.php?ID=CRD42023470557, PROSPERO (CRD42023470557).

Published: August 2024

ObjectivePrevious observational studies have suggested an association between gut microbiota and diabetic neuropathy (DN). However, confounding factors and reverse causality make the causal relationship between gut microbiota and DN uncertain. We aimed to investigate the interactive causal relationships between the abundance of gut microbiota and DN.MethodsWe conducted a Mendelian randomization (MR) analysis to examine the causal relationship between gut microbiota and DN. Genomic data on gut microbiota at the genus level were obtained from the MiBioGen Consortium, including 18,340 individuals of European descent. Data on diabetic polyneuropathy (DPN) were obtained from the FinnGen Consortium, which included 1,048 cases and 374,434 controls, while data on diabetic autonomic neuropathy (DAN) were also obtained from the FinnGen Consortium, including 111 cases and 374,434 controls. Causal effects were primarily estimated using inverse variance weighted (IVW) analysis, supplemented with four validation methods, and additional sensitivity analyses to assess the pleiotropy, heterogeneity, and robustness of instrumental variables.ResultsThe IVW analysis indicated that Prevotella 9 had a protective effect on DPN (OR = 0.715, 95% CI: 0.521-0.982, P = 0.038), and Bacteroides also showed a protective effect (OR = 0.602, 95% CI: 0.364-0.996, P = 0.048). On the other hand, Ruminococcus 2 had a promoting effect on DPN (OR = 1.449, 95% CI: 1.008-2.083, P = 0.045). Blautia (OR = 0.161, 95% CI: 0.035-0.733, P = 0.018), Clostridium innocuum group (OR = 3.033, 95% CI: 1.379-6.672, P = 0.006), and Howardella (OR = 2.595, 95% CI: 1.074-6.269, P = 0.034) were causally associated with DAN in the IVW analysis, with no evidence of heterogeneity or pleiotropy. Sensitivity analyses showed no significant pleiotropy or heterogeneity.ConclusionOur study identified a causal relationship between gut microbiota and the increased or decreased risk of diabetic neuropathy. These findings underscore the importance of adopting a comprehensive approach that combines gut microbiota modulation with other therapeutic interventions in the management of diabetic neuropathy.

Published: August 2024

BackgroundTransarterial chemo(embolization) is preferred for treating unresectable hepatocellular carcinoma (uHCC); however, because of emerging immune-targeted therapies, its efficacy is at stake. This systematic review pioneers to evaluate the clinical efficacy and safety of transarterial chemo(embolization) combined with immune-targeted therapy for uHCC patients.MethodsPubMed, Embase, and Cochrane Library were searched for studies comparing immune-targeted therapy with or without transarterial chemo(embolization) until 31 May 2024. The complete response (CR) rate, objective response rate (ORR), and disease control rate (DCR) were considered to be the primary outcomes calculated for the clinical outcomes of transarterial chemo(embolization) combined with immune-targeted therapy, along with progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS). The incidence of treatment-related severe adverse events was set as the major measure for the safety outcome.ResultsSixteen studies, encompassing 1,789 patients receiving transarterial chemo(embolization) plus immune-targeted therapy and 1,215 patients receiving immune-targeted therapy alone, were considered eligible. The combination of transarterial chemo(embolization) and immune-targeted therapy demonstrated enhanced outcomes in CR (OR = 2.12, 95% CI = 1.35–3.31), ORR (OR = 2.78, 95% CI = 2.15–3.61), DCR (OR = 2.46, 95% CI = 1.72–3.52), PFS (HR = 0.59, 95% CI = 0.50–0.70), and OS (HR = 0.51, 95% CI = 0.44–0.59), albeit accompanied by a surge in ALT (OR = 2.17, 95% CI = 1.28–3.68) and AST (OR = 2.28, 95% CI = 1.42–3.65). The advantages of additional transarterial chemo(embolization) to immune-targeted therapy were also verified in subgroups of first-line treatment, intervention techniques, with or without extrahepatic metastasis, Child–Pugh grade A or B, and with or without tumor thrombus.ConclusionThe combination of transarterial chemo(embolization) and immune-targeted therapy seems to bolster local control and long-term efficacy in uHCC, albeit at the expense of hepatic complications.Systematic review registrationhttp://www.crd.york.ac.uk/PROSPERO/, identifier 474669.
Isolation and characterization of bacteriophages for controlling Rhizobium radiobacter – causing stem and crown gall of highbush blueberry
Authors: Chantapakul Bowornnan , Sabaratnam Siva , Wang Siyun 
Published: August 2024

IntroductionStem and crown gall disease caused by the plant pathogen Rhizobium radiobacter has a significant impact on highbush blueberry (Vaccinium corymbosum) production. Current methods for controlling the bacterium are limited. Lytic phages, which can specifically target host bacteria, have been widely gained interest in agriculture.MethodsIn this study, 76 bacteriophages were recovered from sewage influent and screened for their inhibitory effect against Rhizobium spp. The phages were genetically characterized through whole-genome sequencing, and their lytic cycle was confirmed.ResultsFive potential candidate phages (isolates IC12, IG49, AN01, LG08, and LG11) with the ability to lyse a broad range of hosts were chosen and assessed for their morphology, environmental stability, latent period, and burst size. The morphology of these selected phages revealed a long contractile tail under transmission electron microscopy. Single-step growth curves displayed that these phages had a latent period of 80–110 min and a burst size ranging from 8 to 33 phages per infected cell. None of these phages contained any antimicrobial resistance or virulence genes in their genomes. Subsequently, a combination of two-, three- and four-phage cocktails were formulated and tested for their efficacy in a broth system. A three-phage cocktail composed of the isolates IC12, IG49 and LG08 showed promising results in controlling a large number of R. radiobacter strains in vitro. In a soil/peat-based model, the three-phage cocktail was tested against R. radiobacter PL17, resulting in a significant reduction (p &lt; 0.05) of 2.9 and 1.3 log10 CFU/g after 24 and 48 h of incubation, respectively.DiscussionThese findings suggest that the three-phage cocktail (IC12, IG49 and LG08) has the potential to serve as a proactive antimicrobial solution for controlling R. radiobacter on blueberry.

Published: August 2024

ObjectivesThe prevalence of metabolic syndrome (MetS) among patients with ischemic stroke is relatively high. The visceral fat area (VFA) is a predictor of MetS. This study aimed to estimate sex-specific optimal cut-off values of VFA and MetS risk factors among patients with ischemic stroke.MethodsA cross-sectional study including 851 patients with ischemic stroke was conducted between March 2019 and January 2020 in a tertiary hospital in the northeast of China. VFA was measured using the dual bioelectrical impedance method. Binary logistic regression analysis was used to investigate MetS risk factors, and the VFA cut-off value was assessed using receiver operating characteristic curve analysis.ResultsThe overall prevalence of MetS was 43.4%. After adjusting for potential confounders, female sex (odds ratio [OR] = 2.86, p &lt; 0.001), the presence of visceral obesity according to VFA (OR = 7.45, p &lt; 0.001), being overweight (OR = 2.75, p &lt; 0.001) or obesity (OR = 6.00, p &lt; 0.001) were associated with an increased risk of MetS. The correlation between VFA and MetS in patients with ischemic stroke was strongest with cut-off values of 104.3 cm2 (sensitivity 73.0%, specificity 83.1%) for men, and 94.1 cm2 (sensitivity 70.9%, specificity 72.9%) for women.ConclusionMetS affected approximately a half of patients with ischemic stroke. Female sex, visceral obesity, and body mass index were independent risk factors for the development of MetS. Sex-specific reference values for VFA are proposed for the prediction of incident MetS in patients with ischemic stroke.
