Extending The Shelf Life of Ready-To-Eat (RTE) Meat Product by Using Turmeric and Red Ginger as Film Coating of Active Packaging
Authors: Budi Dharma Adi Sidharta 
Published: November 2023

The high demand for ready-to-eat (RTE) meat products is attributed to their convenience, safe, and healthy properties. The high nutritional content presence in the RTE meat product promotes the presence and growth of microbial pathogens such as Listeria monocytogenes, Escherichia coli, and Salmonella spp. It is considered to be the post-process contamination that is responsible for the shortening of a product’s shelf life which leads to spoilage or foodborne diseases. The aim of this systematic review is to develop and summarize the use of red ginger and turmeric bioactive compounds as antimicrobial materials to ensure their quality and extend the shelf-life of RTE beef rendang products. Thus, the current studies of coating technology of bioactive compounds and vacuum-sealed packaging are considered to be combined strategies that develop a more robust active packaging system. In order to gain a better understanding of this research field, a literature search was performed using the electronic databases Oxford Journals, Google Scholar, SAGE Journals, ScienceDirect, and Taylor & Francis which describes 26 primary studies. The findings state that the enhanced active packaging system by using bioactive compounds was associated with a significant prolongation of various RTE meat product’s shelf-life of up to 30 days of storage at room temperature. Moreover, the vacuum-sealed packaging in a retort pouch is also considered to improve the food safety environment against microbial contamination

ABSTRACT
As part of the 2022 revision of the Aotearoa New Zealand National Seismic Hazard Model (NZ NSHM 2022), deformation models were constructed for the upper plate faults and subduction interfaces that impact ground-shaking hazard in New Zealand. These models provide the locations, geometries, and slip rates of the earthquake-producing faults in the NZ NSHM 2022. For upper plate faults, two deformation models were developed: a geologic model derived directly from the fault geometries and geologic slip rates in the NZ Community Fault Model version 1.0 (NZ CFM v.1.0); and a geodetic model that uses the same faults and fault geometries and derives fault slip-deficit rates by inverting geodetic strain rates for back slip on those specified faults. The two upper plate deformation models have similar total moment rates, but the geodetic model has higher slip rates on low-slip-rate faults, and the geologic model has higher slip rates on higher-slip-rate faults. Two deformation models are developed for the Hikurangi–Kermadec subduction interface. The Hikurangi–Kermadec geometry is a linear blend of the previously published interface models. Slip-deficit rates on the Hikurangi portion of the deformation model are updated from the previously published block models, and two end member models are developed to represent the alternate hypotheses that the interface is either frictionally locked or creeping at the trench. The locking state in the Kermadec portion is less well constrained, and a single slip-deficit rate model is developed based on plate convergence rate and coupling considerations. This single Kermadec realization is blended with each of the two Hikurangi slip-deficit rate models to yield two overall Hikurangi–Kermadec deformation models. The Puysegur subduction interface deformation model is based on geometry taken directly from the NZ CFM v.1.0, and a slip-deficit rate derived from published geodetic plate convergence rate and interface coupling estimates.

Published: November 2023

Abstract
Background: In Colombia, there are two reasons why the function profile of people with spinal cord injuries differs from the rest of the world: most injuries are related to violence with firearms, and there are no inpatient acute and subacute rehabilitation centers. Due to these differences, there is a need to describe the healthcare models of different institutions and how they affect the function of people with spinal cord injuries in Colombia.
Methods: Within the second International Spinal Cord Injury Community Survey (InSCI), we designed a national module to describe the different institutional healthcare models for spinal cord injury. It seeks to establish professionals involved in care, group dynamics, and rehabilitation objectives and intensity. Institutional coordinators of spinal cord care will complete the questionnaire.
Results: We expect that the InSCI and this module for institutional health care models will allow us to describe these models and how they affect the function of people with spinal cord injuries.

Published: November 2023

Abstract
Inhibition is implicated across virtually all human experiences. As a trade-off of being very efficient, inhibition is also prone to many errors. Rodent and computational studies show that midbrain regions play crucial roles during errors by sending dopaminergic learning signals to the basal ganglia for behavioural adjustment. However, the parallels between animal and human neural anatomy and function are not determined. We scanned human adults while they performed an fMRI inhibitory task requiring trial-and-error learning. Guided by the actor-critic model, our results implicate the dorsal striatum and the ventral tegmental area as the actor and the critic, respectively. Using a multilevel and dimensional approach, we also demonstrate a link between midbrain and striatum circuit activity, inhibitory performance, and self-reported autistic and obsessive-compulsive subclinical traits.

Published: November 2023

Abstract
Background
KNOTTED1-like homeobox (KNOX) genes, plant-specific homologous box transcription factors (TFs), play a central role in regulating plant growth, development, organ formation, and response to biotic and abiotic stresses. However, a comprehensive genome-wide identification of the KNOX genes in Moso bamboo (Phyllostachys edulis), the fastest growing plant, has not yet been conducted, and the specific biological functions of this family remain unknown.
Results
The expression profiles of 24 KNOX genes, divided into two subfamilies, were determined by integrating Moso bamboo genome and its transcriptional data. The KNOX gene promoters were found to contain several light and stress-related cis-acting elements. Synteny analysis revealed stronger similarity with rice KNOX genes than with Arabidopsis KNOX genes. Additionally, several conserved structural domains and motifs were identified in the KNOX proteins. The expansion of the KNOX gene family was primarily regulated by tandem duplications. Furthermore, the KNOX genes were responsive to NAA and GA hormones, exhibiting distinct temporal expression patterns in four different organs of Moso bamboo. Short Time-series Expression Miner (STEM) analysis and quantitative PCR (qPCR) assays demonstrated that PeKNOX genes may play a role in promoting rapid shoot growth. Additionally, Gene Ontology (GO) and Protein-Protein Interaction (PPI) network enrichment analyses revealed several functional annotations for PeKNOXs. By regulating downstream target genes, PeKNOXs are involved in the synthesis of AUX /IAA, ultimately affecting cell division and elongation.
Conclusions
In the present study, we identified and characterized a total of 24 KNOX genes in Moso bamboo and investigated their physiological properties and conserved structural domains. To understand their functional roles, we conducted an analysis of gene expression profiles using STEM and RNA-seq data. This analysis successfully revealed regulatory networks involving both upstream and downstream genes of KNOX. Furthermore, KNOX genes are involved in the AUX/IAA metabolic pathway, which accelerates shoot growth by influencing downstream target genes. These results provide a theoretical foundation for studying the molecular mechanisms underlying the rapid growth and establish the groundwork for future research into the functions and transcriptional regulatory networks of the KNOX gene family.

Abstract

Nowadays, data has become the cornerstone of any organization's assets. However, this poses significant challenges for organizations, including the production, management, transfer and protection of data. To overcome these challenges, many organizations have adopted information outsourcing and resource sharing, with cloud computing that is the most popular outsourcing technology. Cloud computing offers various attractive features such as data availability, elasticity, and ubiquitous computation. However, the utilize cloud computing also introduces confidentiality and privacy concerns. One solution to address this problem is encryption. However, traditional encryption prevents selection of desired documents, which is crucial in big data scenarios. To enable search capability, researchers introduced searchable encryption which has drawbacks such as keyword guessing attacks, malicious service providers, lack of trust, data integrity, and fairness. In this paper, we propose a solution that leverages blockchain technology to data integrity and data availability insurance, fair payment, and establish trust among the involved parties. Additionally, we present a certificate-less authenticated asymmetric searchable encryption scheme to address challenges such as data owner and receiver identity and keyword guessing attacks. This scheme is implemented using a smart contract, and we have evaluated its efficiency and proved it is operational.

Published: November 2023

Abstract

Background: Schizophrenia is a severe mental illness that has lasting negative impact on functional level, and quality of life. While music therapy has shown promise in improving these areas, there is a lack of research exploring the impact of music programs led by mental health care professionals without formal music therapy training in the context of early intervention in psychosis. This study aimed to conduct a qualitative evaluation of a once weekly, 12-week, nurse-led music group, in the constellation of a band, offered as an adjunct to early intervention in young people with first-episode psychosis. The specific objectives were to explore social interaction and experiences of participants and instructors in relation to the music group and provide focus points for implementation in clinical practice.
Method: The study utilized Interpretive Description, collecting data through participant observation (6 sessions x 1.5 hrs; 9 hrs in total), key informant interviews (n=1), and group (n=4) and email-based (n=2) interviews. The data was transcribed, thematized, and analyzed using NVivo12 and Interpretive Description inductive analysis.
Results: The analysis resulted in three main themes: Practicalities of the music program, Restored identity, and Music as medicine reflecting the potential of the music group to contribute to a sense of non-patient identity, decreasing symptoms related to mental illness, foster social relationships and a feeling of belonging to a musical community.
Conclusion: Participation in music groups can be a possible promoter of recovery. However, sustainability appears contingent on the skills and resources of the facilitator (i.e. nurse). Suggestions for a program theory and clinical implications are presented and discussed.
Trial registration: This is a non-experimental study, and according to Danish law, registration is not required.

Abstract
The present study aimed to estimate direct, maternal and heterotic effects for production traits of a two-breed diallel between Holstein and Brown Swiss under subtropical conditions. The study was carried out with information collected at the Las Margaritas experimental site, belonging to the National Institute of Forestry, Agriculture, and Livestock Research. Productive and genealogical information from cows belonging to the genetic groups Holstein (HO; 64), Brown Swiss (BS; 91), and their F1 reciprocal crosses HO/BS (29) and BS/HO (25) were used. The analyzed traits were: total milk yield per lactation (TMY, kg), lactation length (LL), milk yield per day (DMY; kg/d), milk yield per calving interval (IMY), and cow weight at calving (CW; kg). The MIXED procedure was used for data analysis. Models included the fixed effects of sire breed, dam breed, calving year, calving season, parity number and the interaction between sire breed and dam breed, except for the IMY analysis, which did not include the parity number. Contrasts were used to estimate individual heterosis and differences in direct and maternal genetic effects. The sire breed effect was only significant for LL (p < 0.05), while calving year was significant for TMY and IMY. Both calving season and parity number were significant for TMY, DMY, and CW. The sire breed * dam breed was significant for TMY, DMY and IMY. Heterosis was significant for TMY, DMY and IMY with values of 422.92 kg, 1.38 kg/d, and 1.48 kg/d, respectively. Direct and maternal genetic effects were only significant for LL.

Published: November 2023

Abstract
Background
Highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART) has been able to improve the immune system function and survival of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) patients. However, Patients coinfected with HIV and hepatitis B virus (HBV) are more likely to develop end-stage liver disease (ESLD) than those infected with HBV alone. Consequently, liver transplantation is often required for these patients. This study evaluates the outcomes of orthotopic liver transplantation (OLT) of HIV-HBV coinfected patients in China.
Methods
We conducted a retrospective analysis on all HIV-HBV coinfected patients that underwent OLT from April 1, 2019 to December 31, 2021 and their outcomes were compared to all HBV monoinfected patients undergoing OLT during the same period. Patient outcomes were determined, including cumulative survival, viral load, CD4 T-cell count and postoperative complications.
Results
The median follow-up of HIV recipients was 36 months after OLT (interquartile range 12–39 months). Almost all patients had stable CD4 T-cell count (> 200 copies/ul), undetectable HBV DNA levels, and undetectable HIV RNA load during follow-up. The 1-, 2-, and 3-year posttransplant survival rates were 85.7% for the HIV group (unchanged from 1 to 3 years) versus 82.2%, 81.2%, and 78.8% for the non-HIV group. Cumulative survival among HIV-HBV coinfected recipients was not significantly different from the HBV monoinfected recipients (log-rank test P = 0.692). The percentage of deaths attributed to infection was comparable between the HIV and non-HIV groups (14.3% vs. 9.32%, P = 0.665). Post OLT, there was no significant difference in acute rejection, cytomegalovirus infection, bacteremia, pulmonary infection, acute kidney injury, de novo tumor and vascular and biliary complications.
Conclusions
Liver transplantation in patients with HIV-HBV coinfection yields excellent outcomes in terms of intermediate- or long-term survival rate and low incidence of postoperative complications in China. These findings suggest that OLT is safe and feasible for HIV-HBV coinfected patients with ESLD.

Abstract
Football has one of the highest incidence rates of mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI) among contact sports; however, the effects of repeated sub-concussive head impacts on brain structure and function remain under-studied. We assessed the association between biomarkers of mTBI and structural and functional MRI scans over an entire season among non-concussed NCAA Division I linemen and non-linemen. Concentrations of S100B, GFAP, BDNF, NFL, and NSE were assessed in 48 collegiate football players (32 linemen; 16 non-linemen) before the start of pre-season training (pre-camp), at the end of pre-season training (pre-season), and at the end of the competitive season (post-season). Changes in brain structure and function were assessed in a sub-sample of 17 players using structural and functional MRI during the execution of Stroop and attention network tasks. S100B, GFAP and BDNF concentrations were increased at post-season compared to pre-camp in linemen. White matter hyperintensities increased in linemen during pre-season camp training compared to pre-camp. This study showed that the effects of repeated head impacts are detectable in the blood of elite level non-concussed collegiate football players exposed to low-moderate impacts to the heads, which correlated with some neurological outcomes without translating to clinically-relevant changes in brain anatomy or function.

Published: November 2023

Abstract
In the field of modern high-energy physics research, there is a growing emphasis on utilizing deep learning techniques to optimize event simulation, thereby expanding the statistical sample size for more accurate physical analysis. Traditional simulation methods often encounter challenges when dealing with complex physical processes and high-dimensional data distributions, resulting in slow performance. To overcome these limitations, we propose a solution based on deep learning with the sliced Wasserstein distance as the loss function. Our method shows its ability on high precision and large-scale simulations, and demonstrates its effectiveness in handling complex physical processes. By employing an advanced transformer learning architecture, we initiate the learning process from a Monte Carlo sample, and generate high-dimensional data while preserving all original distribution features. The generated data samples have passed the consistence test, that is developed to calculate the confidence of the high-dimentional distributions of the generated data samples through permutation tests. This fast simulation strategy, enabled by deep learning, holds significant potential not only for increasing sample sizes and reducing statistical uncertainties but also for applications in numerical integration, which is crucial in partial wave analysis, high-precision sample checks, and other related fields. It opens up new possibilities for improving event simulation in high-energy physics research.

Published: November 2023

Abstract
Background: Vibration is a therapeutic modality that improves muscle function, increases energy expenditure, and consequently reduces body fat. Local Vibration on abdominal region may reduce waist circumference through increasing local blood flow and sustaining contractions of the abdominal muscles. This study aimed to investigate the effects of using vibrating belt on body composition parameters among overweight women with sedentary lifestyle.
Methods: This experimental clinical study was on 35 overweight women with sedentary lifestyle. During an eight-week intervention, the effects of using vibrating belt (three sessions a week for half an hour) were investigated. Body composition was assessed via measuring waist circumference, abdominal circumference, abdominal and supra-iliac skin folds alongside the variables of an electrical bio-impedance device.
Results: The mean age of participants was 37±6 years. The percentage of body fat, waist circumference, abdominal and supra-iliac skin folds were significantly decreased at the end of the study (P<0.05). Waist circumference also showed a significant decrease in the mid-point of the study, compared to the beginning (P<0.05). Abdominal skin fold also showed a significant decrease at the end of the study, compared with the mid-point (P<0.05). However, weight, BMI, Lean Body Mass, Soft Lean Mass and abdominal circumference did not change significantly (P>0.05).
Conclusion: The use of vibrating belt by sedentary overweight women may reduce the percent body fat, waist circumference, abdominal and supra-iliac skin folds without any side effect. This might implicate the effect of using vibrating belts in the management of central obesity by reducing abdominal subcutaneous fat.
