Authors: Anindya R N , Ervina E 
Published: February 2024

Abstract
Plant-based diets have gained popularity, especially in young age groups. This diet has shown many health benefits, however, following an unbalanced plant-based diet may lead to nutrient insufficiency. This study aims to compare the intake of macronutrients (calories, protein, fat, carbohydrates) and micronutrients (iron, calcium, vitamin B1) between the vegetarian and non-vegetarian groups of young adults. The 2x24h food recall was used to assess the food intake. A total of 140 participants (mean age 25.81 ± 6.64, 36% male and 64% female) participated in this study and they were divided into the vegetarian (n=65) and the non-vegetarian (n=75) groups. The results indicate that the vegetarian group has a lower intake (p< 0.001) for calories, protein, and fat compared to the non-vegetarian group. They also have a lower intake (p< 0.001) of iron and calcium, but a higher intake (p< 0.05) of vitamin B1 as compared to the non-vegetarian group. The source of foods was found to be varied in the vegetarian group but they consumed less amount of foods compared to the non-vegetarian group. This study can be used as educational materials for emphasizing the behavioral change on the importance of a balanced plant-based diet and promoting good and sustainable dietary practices.

Abstract

Cronobacter sakazakii is more resistant in dry conditions for more than 2 years. However, study on the behavior of C. sakazakii in dry product using wild type may encounter problem of inability to distinguish target C. sakazakii with naturally occuring C. sakazakii. This research is useful in studying of C.sakazakii pFGPuv in corn flour having different initial moisture content stored in different relative humidity to ensure food safety and sustainability. The corn flour had a water content of 9% and 12 (w.b.) which had been inoculated with C. sakazakii pFGPuv for 16 weeks at 3 different RHs (50%, 70%, and 90%). The survival ability of C. sakazakii of GFPuv was better in corn flour with an Aw of 0.42-0.44 stored at RH 50% compared to RH 70 and 90%. C. sakazakii pGFPuv survived better at RH 50% which had Aw of 0.42-0.44 which was stored at RH 50% compared to RH 70 and 90%. The number of C. sakazakii pGFPuv in corn flour decreased by 0.470-0.489 log cycle/week. Therefore, the number of C. sakazakii in corn flour that will be stored needs to be considered to produce food that is safe to support good health and well-being.

Authors: Juwitaningtyas T , Vennada A A 
Published: February 2024

Abstract
Virgin Coconut Oil (VCO) is an oil produced using low temperatures. Efforts to maintain and improve the quality of VCO with papain enzymatic manufacturing method followed by the provision of husk ash adsorbent. The use of papain enzyme as much as 1.5% w/v with an incubation temperature of 40°C 24 hours was effective in reducing acid numbers. The husk ash adsorbent which was treated in an oven at 120°C 2 hours was effective in improving the color quality of the VCO. Variations of husk ash were adsorbent size (60, 80, and 100) mesh and mass (15, 20, and 25) grams. The sample that has been mixed with adsorbent is stirred with a magnetic stirrer at 300 rpm 1 hour then separated by centrifuge at 1000 rpm 1 hour and ends with VCO filtering with filter paper to separate the remaining adsorbent from the oil. Samples were tested for acid number and free fatty acid content. The results show that the smaller the size of the adsorbent and the more the amount added gives a positive effect on decreasing the acid number and free fatty acid content. Production of VCO has low environmental impact because it uses low energy.

Published: February 2024

Abstract
Durian and jackfruit seeds are around 5-15% of whole fruit, and only few is utilized as animal feed and generally become waste. Based on the Indonesian Central Bureau of Statistics, durian production in Indonesia reached 1.35 million tons in 2021 and increased by 19.40% compared to 2020. The government issued a policy to encourage the development of renewable energy sources as an alternative to fuel oil because the oil supply will run out in about 12 years. The government targets the use of renewable energy in 2025 to reach 23% by preparing a program to implement the use of bioethanol in motor vehicles and preparing the bioethanol industry in Indonesia. The purpose of this study is to get the best seeds combination to produce highest bioethanol content. Research used 50 gram 80 mesh durian and jackfruit seed starch combination and was started with multistage fermentation with addition of Aspergillus niger for 72 hours to produce glucose then continued with Saccharomyces cerevisiae for 120 hours to produce ethanol. The next stage was to distill for 6 hours to separate ethanol and water using the boiling point difference principle. The ethanol will be analyzed using refractometer. The highest ethanol content obtained was 20% from a combination of 25% jackfruit and 75% durian seed starch. This ethanol content was higher than the previous research with 100% durian seed starch which was up to 1.61% and for 100% jackfruit seed starch was up to 2.435%.

Abstract
Based on rice policy, this study shows that grain quality is the most important economically for farmers when selling rice. The study examines factors that influence farmers’ consideration of grain quality when selling GKP. Using a questionnaire, data were collected from 150 randomly selected farmers. Binary logistic regression model and descriptive statistics were used to analyze the data. Binary logit results show that variables such as age, area, and GKP price increase the likelihood that farmers consider grain quality when selling GK. On the other hand, increasing farmers’ education and experience levels has a negative impact on their ability to consider grain quality before selling GKP.

Theoretically, it has an impact on the productivity and welfare of rice farmers and also poses a risk to production and directly or indirectly impacts the finances of rice farmers. The aims of this study were to analyze whether there are differences in rice farming productivity under different climatic conditions. Then to analyze the financial risk on farming rice due the climate change. The research location is in Hamparan Perak District, Deli Serdang Regency, Sumatra Utara Province. We involved 50 farmers as samples and three experts and experienced farmers in risk analysis. Analysis of productivity differences was carried out using the paired sample t-test method with the SPSS 26 tool. While risk analysis is carried out using failure mode effect analysis with Risk Priority Number calculation techniques. The results found that there were significant differences in rice farming productivity during planting periods with different climates. There are 22 financial risks that have the potential to occur in the rice farming process, from land preparation to harvesting stage. The highest level of risk is at the maintenance stage.
Fire and flood
Authors: McGuire Bill 
Published: February 2024

Abstract
It is not surprising that, on a hotter planet, the occurrence and impacts of wildfires and floods are becoming magnified. Extra heat enhances the tinder dry conditions required for wildfires to ignite and spread, while a warmer atmosphere holds more water in vapour form, fostering the extreme precipitation that drives flooding. Wildfires have devastated huge areas of North America, Russia, Australia, and southern Europe in recent years, especially where so-called ‘heat domes’ have brought exceptional and persistent temperatures. The greatest wildfires can last for months, becoming self-perpetuating as pyrocumulonimbus clouds build into colossal thunderstorms triggering lightning strikes that cause new burns. As rainfall becomes more extreme and persistent, both river flooding and surface flooding have become more common, and increasingly devastating. Flash floods, which happen with little or no warning, are—in particular—a growing threat to life. Meanwhile, accelerating construction across flood plains means that river flooding is affecting ever more people and having an increasing impact on vulnerable infrastructure. Some of the worst flooding in recent years has been caused by so-called atmospheric rivers—long conveyor belts of moist air that bring torrential rains and can last for days, even weeks. As sea levels continue to rise, the coastal zone is increasingly impacted, not only by flooding but by permanent inundation. This is especially problematical where large cities are constructed on river deltas from which water is being abstracted, and which are sinking rapidly at the same time as the sea rises.

Abstract
Massive gene expression analyses are widely used to find differentially expressed genes under specific conditions. The results of these experiments are often available in public databases that are undergoing a growth similar to that of molecular sequence databases in the past. This now allows novel secondary computational tools to emerge that use such information to gain new knowledge. If several genes have a similar expression profile across heterogeneous transcriptomics experiments, they could be functionally related. These associations are usually useful for the annotation of uncharacterized genes. In addition, the search for genes with opposite expression profiles is useful for finding negative regulators and proposing inhibitory compounds in drug repurposing projects. Here we present a new web application, Automatic and Serial Analysis of CO-expression (ASACO), which has the potential to discover positive and negative correlator genes to a given query gene, based on thousands of public transcriptomics experiments. In addition, examples of use are presented, comparing with previous contrasted knowledge. The results obtained propose ASACO as a useful tool to improve knowledge about genes associated with human diseases and noncoding genes. ASACO is available at http://www.bioinfocabd.upo.es/asaco/.
Recovery from kidney failure associated with chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension following pulmonary thomboendarterectomy

Published: February 2024

ABSTRACT
The occurrence of renal failure in pulmonary hypertension (PH) is an ominous sign and implies excessive adverse hemodynamic factors. Pharmacologic agents to treat the PH are the mainstay of management, whereas diuretics assist in management of fluid overload. However, when such measures fail, dialysis and ultrafiltration (UF) become necessary to manage progressive azotemia and hypervolemia. Reversal of PH is essential to interrupt this vicious cycle of multisystem failure; otherwise, the need for renal replacement therapy would be permanent.
Impact of climate change on vegetation patterns in Altay Prefecture, China

Published: February 2024

Abstract
Altay Prefecture, a typical arid region in northwestern China, has experienced the climate transition from warming-drying to warming-wetting since 1980s and has attracted widespread attention. Nonetheless, it is still unclear how climate change has influenced the distribution of vegetation in this region. In this paper, a reaction–diffusion model of the climate–vegetation system is proposed to study the impact of climate change (precipitation, temperature and carbon dioxide concentration) on vegetation patterns in Altay Prefecture. Our results indicate that the tendency of vegetation growth in Altay Prefecture improved gradually from 1985 to 2010. Under the current climate conditions, the increase of precipitation results in the change of vegetation pattern structures, and eventually vegetation coverage tends to be uniform. Moreover, we found that there exists an optimal temperature where the spot vegetation pattern structure remains stable. Furthermore, the increase in carbon dioxide concentration induces vegetation pattern transition. Based on four climate change scenarios of the Coupled Model Intercomparison Project Phase 6 (CMIP6), we used the power law range (PLR) to predict the optimal scenario for the sustainable development of the vegetation ecosystem in Altay Prefecture.
