From head to rootlet: comparative transcriptomic analysis of a rhizocephalan barnacle Peltogaster reticulata (Crustacea: Rhizocephala)
Authors: Nesterenko Maksim , Miroliubov Aleksei 
Published: January 2023

Background: Rhizocephalan barnacles stand out in the diverse world of metazoan parasites. The body of a rhizocephalan female is modified beyond revealing any recognizable morphological features, consisting of the interna, a system of rootlets, and the externa, a sac-like reproductive body. Moreover, rhizocephalans have an outstanding ability to control their hosts, literally turning them into “zombies”. Despite all these amazing traits, there are no genomic or transcriptomic data about any Rhizocephala. Methods: We collected transcriptomes from four body parts of an adult female rhizocephalan Peltogaster reticulata: the externa, and the main, growing, and thoracic parts of the interna. We used all prepared data for the de novo assembly of the reference transcriptome. Next, a set of encoded proteins was determined, the expression levels of protein-coding genes in different parts of the parasite’s body were calculated and lists of enriched bioprocesses were identified. We also in silico identified and analyzed sets of potential excretory / secretory proteins. Finally, we applied phylostratigraphy and evolutionary transcriptomics approaches to our data. Results: The assembled reference transcriptome included transcripts of 12,620 protein-coding genes and was the first for any rhizocephalan. Based on the results obtained, the spatial heterogeneity of protein-coding gene expression in different regions of the adult female body of P. reticulata was established. The results of both transcriptomic analysis and histological studies indicated the presence of germ-like cells in the lumen of the interna. The potential molecular basis of the interaction between the nervous system of the host and the parasite's interna was also determined. Given the prolonged expression of development-associated genes, we suggest that rhizocephalans “got stuck in their metamorphosis”, even at the reproductive stage. Conclusions: The results of the first comparative transcriptomic analysis for Rhizocephala not only clarified but also expanded the existing ideas about the biology of these extraordinary parasites.

Authors: Rismayani Risris , Manuel Bram , Latifah Umi 
Published: January 2023

Background: The telecommunication industry was one of the Indonesian government's priorities in the national development plan 2015-2035. “Primary Industry” was the term for the priority industries with the central role as the prime mover in the future national economy. Various natural, human, technological, innovative, and creative resources were imperative in supporting the underlining national industry development plan. Strategic innovation management refers to the entire sequence of innovation practices, including competition mechanism analysis, such as creating an innovative vision, business strategy alignment, disseminating strategy at an entire organizational level, market tendency, technology, and competitor’s action. Firm innovation performance refers to the measurement of innovation efficiency (the number of new products, product novelty, new product development speed, and new product success rate) and innovation profitability (new product revenue proportion, quality enhancement, cost reduction, and value improvement) conducted by the firm. This study investigates the effect of Innovation Strategy, Organizational Structure, Innovation Culture, Technological Capability, and Customer-Supplier Relationship (these were the practice of Strategic Innovation Management mentioned in various literature) on Firm Innovation Performance. Methods: A quantitative method, from a practical perspective, was employed to investigate the causal relationship between strategic innovation management and firm innovation performance. Data was gathered through a validated and reliable questionnaire disseminated to 90 respondents. It included a representative from the four sub-sectors of the telecommunication industry, namely fixed networks, wireless networks, telecommunication services, and special telecommunication. Results: The survey found that firms within the telecommunication industry already employed Strategic Innovation Management practices. Moreover, this study also found that Innovation Culture, Technological Capability, and Customer-Suppler Relationship significantly influence Firm Innovation Performance. Conclusion: The implementation of Strategic Innovation Management in the mid-size companies within Indonesia's telecommunication industry appears to be relatively high. It indicates that firms within the industry were able to strategically compete by implementing Strategic Innovation Management.
Ex vivo comparative investigation of suprachiasmatic nucleus excitotoxic resiliency
Authors: Acharyya Debalina , Cooper Joanna , Prosser Rebecca A. 
Published: January 2023

Background: Glutamate signaling in the brain is regulated by release, reuptake, and receptor responsiveness. In diseased conditions, glutamate signaling can exceed normal regulatory processes, giving rise to a condition called excitotoxicity. Although regional differences in the excitotoxic effects of glutamate in the brain have been reported, the extent and characteristics of these potential differences are not clear. Here we compared the excitotoxic resiliency of the suprachiasmatic nucleus (SCN), anterior hypothalamus (AH) and cortex. Methods: We treated acute brain slices containing either the SCN and AH or the cortex from adult male mice at different times across the diurnal cycle with varying concentrations of N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA), NMDA+ α-amino-3-hydroxy-5-methyl-4-isoxazolepropionic acid (AMPA) or control medium. The extent of cell damage was assessed using propidium iodide (PI), a cell death marker. Results: The results indicate that all three brain regions exhibited increasing cell damage/death when treated with increasing concentrations of NMDA. However, higher concentrations of NMDA were needed to significantly increase cell damage in the SCN compared to the cortex and AH. All three brain regions also exhibited greater cell death/damage when treated in the nighttime compared to the daytime, although the SCN exhibited increased cell death during a more restricted time interval compared to the AH and cortex. Conclusions: Together, these data confirm previous studies showing excitotoxic resiliency in the SCN, while extending them in two ways. First, we demonstrate a dose-dependency in excitotoxic susceptibility that differentiates the SCN from the surrounding AH and the cortex using a brain slice preparation. Second, we demonstrate a diurnal rhythm in excitotoxic susceptibility with a broadly similar phase across all three brain regions. These data increase our understanding of the extent and nature of the SCN excitotoxic resiliency, which will inform future studies on the cellular mechanisms underlying this phenomenon.

Published: January 2023

Infective endocarditis (IE) is a well-described infectious disease, one with increased morbidity and mortality being the third or fourth most common life-threatening infection syndrome. Abiotrophia defectiva is a non-motile, catalase negative, gram-positive coccus in a chain, which can be isolated from the oral cavity, intestinal, and genitourinary tracts. IE due to this agent is rare and associated with heart valve destruction, congestive heart failure, and high embolisation rates, these being the major mortality causes. We present a case of IE due to this agent, complicated with a stroke, and splenic and renal infarction, with the need for aortic valve replacement. This article highlights the gaps of knowledge left by the rarity of this disease, which range from its diagnosis to its treatment, and what we need to mitigate such gaps, supported with a case description of a successful treatment of this infection.

Published: January 2023

Abstract. Cuevas VC, Banaay CGB. 2022. Trichoderma inoculants and straw compost improved resilience and yield in Cu-contaminated rice paddies. Nusantara Bioscience 14: 1-9. Rice paddies in Marinduque, Philippines, are copper-contaminated from tailings of two mining companies formerly operating in the province. At present, paddy-soil copper concentration ranges from 22-386 mg kg-1. Crops suffer from copper toxicity and water stress due to climate-related events. The field study was conducted to investigate the ability of in situ composted rice straw and Trichoderma microbial inoculant (TMI) to mitigate rice productivity constraints. In treated set-ups, rice straw was scattered on the paddy after harvest. Triple 14 mineral fertilizer was mixed with Trichoderma compost activator, broadcasted over the straws, and subsequently incorporated into the soil during land preparation. Rice seeds were TMI-coated before sowing. Rice straw composting was not done in control set-ups, and seeds were uncoated. Mineral fertilizers were applied to both set-ups. Furthermore, set-ups were categorized based on soil Cu content, such as normal, moderate, and high. Four replicates were made per season and category. In treated paddies, rice leaves did not show yellowing, indicating adequate N mineralization and plant uptake. The difference in yield was significantly higher (81%) in treated paddies compared to control. During severe drought conditions, the mean yield in treated paddies was 1.8 t ha-1, while that of control paddies was zero. The yield was significantly correlated with K inputs mainly by compost in treated paddies. The application of rice straw compost and Trichoderma inoculants can be an adaptive strategy for climate change resilience and mitigation of copper toxicity in crops.

Abstract. Motaweq ZY. 2022. Prevalence of ?-lactamase produced in Klebsiella pneumoniae and Enterobacter cloacae isolated from gingivitis in Al-Najaf Province, Iraq. Nusantara Bioscience 14: 78-83. This study provides phenotypic and genotypic ?-lactamase formation data on 26 isolates of Klebsiella pneumoniae and Enterobacter cloacae isolated from patients suffering from gingivitis checked at Al-Kafeel clinic and private clinic in Al-Najaf Province-Iraq during the period from September 2020 to February 2021. In this study, some of them were detected by traditional phenotypic methods, while others were detected by phenotypic and then genotypically by using monoplex-PCR technique. The results revealed that out of 14 ?-lactam resistance K. pneumoniae isolates, 8 isolates (57.1%) gave positive results with the direct capillary tubes method, while 12 ?-lactam resistance E. cloacae gave 6 (50%) positive results. This result indicated that the enzymatic resistance was prevalent among isolates. Furthermore, the results showed that most isolates were ESBL producers according to initial and confirmatory methods. Molecular amplification of the ?-lactamase enzyme blaSHV gene was detected in 8 (57.1%) and 5 (41.6%) for K. pneumoniae and E. cloacae, respectively. While all 100% of K. pneumoniae and E. cloacae isolates gave negative results for blaGES gene. This study aimed to investigate the ?-lactamase formation and detection of blaSHV and blaGES genes in K. pneumoniae and E. cloacae isolated from gingivitis diseases.

High sensitivity represents one of the main goals that sensing devices need to satisfy for their applications. This work presents to the best of our knowledge the first integrated Mach–Zehnder interferometer (MZI) embedded in soda-lime glass with comparable sensitivity to silicon-on-insulator (SOI) devices. We manufactured the MZIs by the femtosecond direct laser writing (FDLW) technique and characterized them with temperature. Four buried MZIs were manufactured by slightly increasing the optical path due to separation between the arms of the interferometer (

Development of an epoxy-based millimeter absorber with expanded polystyrenes and carbon black for an astronomical telescope
Authors: Inoue Yuki , Hasegawa Masaya , Hazumi Masashi , Takada Suguru , Tomaru Takayuki 
Published: January 2023

We recently developed and characterized an absorber for millimeter wavelengths. To absorb a millimeter wave efficiently, we had to develop a low reflection and high absorption material. To meet these requirements, we added polystyrene beads in the epoxy for multiscattering in the absorber. The typical diameter of polystyrene beads corresponded to the scale of Mie scattering for photon multiscattering in the absorber. The absorber consists of epoxy, carbon black, and expanded polystyrene beads. The typical size of the expanded polystyrene beads is consistent with the peak of a cross-section of Mie scattering to increase the mean free path in the absorber. By applying this effect, we successfully improved the absorber’s performance. In this paper, we measured the optical property of epoxy to calculate the Mie scattering effect. Based on the calculation results, we developed eight types of samples by changing the ratio in the absorber material. To compare the eight samples, we characterized the reflectance and transmittance of the absorber in a millimeter wavelength. The measured reflectance and transmittance of a 2 mm thick sample with optimized parameters are, respectively, less than 20% and 10%. We also measured the transmittance in a submillimeter wavelength. The measured transmittance is less than 1%. The shape of absorber can be modified for any shape, such as chip and pyramidal shapes. This absorber can be used to mitigate the stray light of a millimeter wave telescope with any shapes.

Nuevas dinámicas geopolíticas en un escenario global pospandémico
Authors: Argüelles Indira López 
Published: January 2023

Los efectos de la pandemia en la economía mundial han sido agudos y acarrearon notables reacomodos geoeconómicos, los que se han reorientado con el conflicto de Ucrania. Esta coyuntura tiene elementos favorables para la región de América Latina y otros retadores; en el plano geopolítico tal y como sucedió con el ascenso del poder Imperial de EE. UU, a finales del siglo XIX, las economías emergentes, para erigirse como superpotencias globales deberán pescar en aguas de esta región, por lo que se prevé en el mediano plazo, nuevas batallas geopolíticas entre las nuevas economías emergentes ( China, Rusia, India, Turquía, Irán, Arabia Saudita, o cualquier otro) y las tradicionales. Conocer las posibles formas de asociación entre estas economías emergentes y América Latina, así como adentrarnos en la identificación de cuáles deben ser los elementos esenciales de estas nuevas interacciones, resultará clave, por lo que el problema de investigación en este proyecto básico es, ¿cuáles son las nuevas dinámicas geopolíticas que debe encarar la humanidad? Qué retos encaran nuestros países y cuáles son las soluciones conocidas y abordadas hasta el momento y cuáles de ellas pudieran ser las más útiles a nuestros países. Como objetivo nos proponemos informar a decisores políticos que estas batallas pudieran conducir a nuevos patrones energéticos, en los que los recursos naturales de nuestros países vuelvan a ser disputados, de igual forma estos combustibles impulsarán nuevas tecnologías que pueden ser de uso masivo. Consideramos que ante estas problemáticas, la región necesita de líderes leales al proyecto nación latinoamericana para potenciar una reinserción global y sobre todo emprender esenciales trasformaciones socioeconómicas, balancear los nexos con todas las potencias, y desde la autodeterminación buscar autonomía y soberanía energética como vía garantes del desarrollo. Utilizamos como método de trabajo el análisis lógico, observación y síntesis de las dinámicas actuales.

Published: January 2023

INTRODUCTION:
Variability in adherence rates to the Seattle protocol and to surveillance interval recommendations, established quality indicators (QIs) in Barrett's esophagus (BE), is unknown.

METHODS:
We evaluated endoscopist and site-based adherence rates to these QIs from January 2018 to May 2021 using the GI Quality Improvement Consortium national registry with matched endoscopy and pathology data.

RESULTS:
Across 153 practices with 572 endoscopists performing 20,155 endoscopies, adherence to the Seattle protocol varied by endoscopists (median 93.8%, IQR 18.9%) and by site (median 90.0%, IQR 20.1%). Adherence to appropriate surveillance intervals for nondysplastic BE also varied by endoscopist (median 82.4%, IQR 36.3%) and site (median 77.2%, IQR 29.8%). The overall dysplasia detection rate was 3.1% and varied among endoscopists and sites.

DISCUSSION:
These US population-based results can serve as a benchmark for quality initiatives and intervention trials aimed at improving outcomes for patients with BE.

Published: January 2023

INTRODUCTION:
The relationships between sedentary behavior patterns and nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) in older adults are not well investigated.

METHODS:
This population-based study included 1,899 rural-dwelling adults (aged 60 years or older). We assessed sedentary parameters with ActiGraph and defined NAFLD using ultrasonography.

RESULTS:
Long total and prolonged sedentary time were associated with increased likelihoods of NAFLD, whereas engaging more breaks per sedentary hour and reallocating sedentary time to light-intensity physical activity were associated with reduced likelihoods of NAFLD (Plinear <0.05).

DISCUSSION:
Shorter sedentary time, engaging more frequent breaks in sedentary behavior, and replacing sedentary time with physical activity are associated with reduced likelihoods of NAFLD in older adults.

Freshwater sponges are animals from the Porifera phylum that live in freshwater. The sponge used is Oncosclera asiatica was taken from Kali Porong, East Java. Seventeen isolates of bacteria have been obtained from isolation. Antibacterial potential testing was performed by paper disc inhibition assay using Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus as pathogenic bacteria and amoxicillin as a positive control. The antibacterial activity test showed that four isolates have the potential activity. The isolates with the highest inhibition zones were identified using a 16S rRNA.The results of BLAST showed isolate number 2 was Pseudomonas moraviensis with 99.51% similarity. The phylogenetic tree analysis was build using the MEGA X program. The results of the phylogenetic tree analysis showed that P.moraviensis had a bootstrap value of 100% with a genetic distance value of 0.001. P. moraviensis isolates screened for the presence of Non-Ribosomal Peptide Synthetase (NRPS) gene by A2gamF and A3gamR primers. The amplification result from NRPS gene showed positive meaning that P.moraviensis genome contained NRPS gene.
