Abstract. Aristya GR, Dyatama GR, Zuyyina C, Maulina NTA, Arif MF, Musthofa A, Kasiamdari RS. 2023. Relationship analysis of FaPYR1 and FaCHS genes encoding fruit ripening of three species of strawberries (Fragaria spp.) fruit. Biodiversitas 24: 87-97. The difference in the phenotypes characters and gene expressionof strawberries (Fragaria spp.) is influenced by changes in hormone signaling mechanisms to receptors due to the adaptation to various types of environments. Abscisic acid (ABA) is one of the phytohormones that plays a role in the growth and development of strawberries, response to environmental stress, and fruit ripening. One of the ABA receptors is the PYR1 protein which is encoded by FaPYR1 gene. ABA also plays a role in inducing the FaCHS gene associated with pigmentation in strawberry fruit. This study aimed to analyze the relationship between FaPYR1 and FaCHS gene sequences in three strawberry species encoding fruit ripening. The FaPYR1 (585-633 bp) and FaCHS (90-93 bp) genes from three strawberries species namely Fragaria moschata, Fragaria vesca L. 'Californica', and Fragariax ananassa 'Festival' were successfully amplified. The results of the gene family relationship analysis of FaPYR1 gene sequences showed a close relationship with the comparative three species to GenBank, with a genetic distance value of 0.01-0.02. Meanwhile, FaCHS gene sequences from three species of strawberries showed a close relationship with the comparable FaCHS gene sequence from GenBank, with a genetic distance of 0.1-0.2.

Abstract. Al-Miyah SAF. 2023. Estimation the levels of two genes expression and their effects on tetracycline resistance of Acinetobacter baumannii isolated from different sources. Biodiversitas 24: 176-181. Acinetobacter baumannii can cause severe infections of the blood, brain, and lungs. It may also results in infections of the urinary tract and wounds. It can be found on the skin, in food, drink, or soil, and can be transferred by direct contact. The pathogen Acinetobacter baumannii spreads quickly. This study aimed to find a relationship between the infection with Acinetobacter baumannii and the corresponding IL-17 level in patients' sera. To determine the effect of tetracycline exposure on the gene expression levels of the TetA and AdeB genes. This study included 150 samples from different patients suffering from burns, wounds, blood, and sputum. Samples have been tested by Vitek for the presence of Acinetobacter baumannii. Each isolate was then cultured on two separate Mueller-Hinton Agar (MHA) dishes, one with and one without tetracycline. RNA was extracted from all the cultured dishes and converted to cDNA. Quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR) has then been done to evaluate the gene expression level of the TetA and AdeB genes and normalized to the results of the 16sRNA gene. The results of gene expression showed that isolates grown with tetracycline in the medium had significantly higher gene expression than isolates grown without the antibiotic for both the TetA (2.49 vs. 1.023, respectively) and AdeB (5.051 vs. 1.023, respectively) genes. The results of IL-17 showed a higher level in infected patients (21.37 pg/mL) compared to non-infected subjects (14.76 pg/mL).

Abstract. Kamaludin M, Alipiah RM, Nordin NSN, Afiqah N. 2023. Public choice for payment vehicles of turtle conservation in Terengganu, Malaysia. Biodiversitas 24: 636-644. Sea turtle is known as the iconic natural heritage in Terengganu, Malaysia. Unfortunately, the turtle populations are declining these days due to many threats such as incidental catch, human activities, coastal development, irresponsible tourism, and poaching. Besides, erosion occurs on some beaches, reducing the area available for turtle nesting. This study determines marginal willingness to pay (WTP) for sea turtle conservation programs with two different payment vehicles i.e. tax collection and trust fund in Terengganu, Malaysia. The choice experiment (CE) method was utilized to calculate the marginal WTP of four attributes (population of sea turtles, communities involved, conservation activities and tax/trust fund). The study found that public placed a higher value of the marginal WTP on the ‘conservation activities’ attribute with RM3.32 (tax) and RM110.11 (trust fund), while the public exhibited higher values of WTP on the medium of payment vehicle (trust fund), where the coercive payment was not favorable among them. Therefore, a workable and suitable medium of payment is essential to support the efforts in protecting sea turtles and keeping coral reefs and sea grass beds healthy. After all, more sea turtles will survive and thrive to maintain the fragility of ecosystem's balance in the ocean.
The Spectrum and Term System of Ti I
Authors: Forsberg Peter 
Published: February 2023

The emission spectrum of neutral titanium has been analysed in the region 1750 - 55 000 Å. For the registrations in the infrared and visible wavelength regions, the Fourier transform spectrometer at Kitt Peak National Observatory has been used, while the recordings in the ultraviolet are from the 10.7-m Eagle spectrograph at National Bureau of Standards, Washington, D.C. In addition to this, a study of the absorption spectrum in the region 1900 - 2315 Å has been performed using plates obtained from Harvard College Observatory.
A total of 3377 lines have been identified as belonging to the Ti I spectrum, combining 439 energy levels. About 115 new energy levels have been found. Almost 15% of the previously listed level values have been discarded but a majority of these could be replaced with new values.
Reconstructing Discontinuities in Multidimensional Inverse Scattering Problems: Smooth Errors Versus Small Errors
Authors: Beylkin Gregory 
Published: February 2023

Many practical problems of non-destructive evaluation can be solved provided we can accurately reconstruct discontinuities of the parameters of the physical medium. Seismic exploration, medical applications, crack and void detection are examples. Our concern is a mathematical formulation of the linearized inverse scattering problem, so that we can
i. obtain explicit algorithms
ii. prove that, indeed, the discontinuities are recovered.
Adopting the point of view standard in the theory of pseudodifferential operators we note that, in general, it is impossible to construct an explicit solution (say the Green's function), but a parametrix can often be obtained explicitly. The parametrix is a solution which is defined exactly as the Green’s function except that an arbitrary smooth function may have been added to the source term of the equation (see [1], for example). Mathematicians have been using these solutions to gain insight into the properties of the partial differential equations. In dealing with the problems of nondestructive evaluation, we can make use of these solutions to obtain algorithms for reconstructing the discontinuities of parameters describing the medium [2].

Polarization Issues in Optical Design
Authors: Chipman Russell A. 
Published: February 2023

Coatings, crystals, and polarization elements can do remarkable and puzzling things to the image-forming characteristics of optical systems. They contribute to the wavefront aberrations of systems, but also introduce apodization and polarization aberrations, effects not normally calculated by ray tracing.
Coatings, for example, because of their s and p amplitude and phase coefficients, have their own contributions to the aberrations of an optical system. Near their design wavelength and optimal angle of incidence, these coating induced aberrations are usually insignificant, milliwaves of wavefront aberration. Away from their optimal wavelength and angle of incidence range, these aberrations can become significant. Many unexpected phenomena occur including the following: chromatic aberration, apodization, polarization aberration, on-axis astigmatism in radially symmetric systems, and different wavefront aberrations for different incident polarization states. These effects then alter the point spread functions and modulation transfer functions that would be calculated by geometrical optics in the absence of coating effects. The point spread function can have polarization state variations and can be different for different incident polarization states. Birefringent elements, liquid crystals, electro-optical and magneto-optical materials, diffraction gratings, and binary and holographic optical elements all contribute additional polarization effects.
Direct measurement of volume of arbitrarily shaped piles from binocular stereo images

Published: February 2023

We present a method for measuring the volume of an irregularly shaped pile of material from a stereo pair of images without computing its surface shape.
Our method is applicable to such tasks as verifying the volume of solder paste applied to the pads of a circuit board prior to reflow soldering. It can be implemented using the stereo hardware of Nishihara [1984] to perform at a rate of one or more volume measurements per video frame time.

Published: February 2023

A compact on-chip reconfigurable multichannel amplitude equalizer based on cascaded elliptical microrings is proposed and demonstrated experimentally. With the optimized structure of the elliptical microring with adiabatically varied radii/widths, the average excess loss for each channel in the initialized state is measured to be less than 0.5 dB, while the attenuation dynamic range can be over 20 dB. Flexible tunability through the overlapping of the resonance peaks of adjacent wavelength-channels enables even higher attenuation dynamic ranges up to 50 dB. Leveraging the thermo-optic effect and fine wavelength-tuning linearity, precise tuning of the resonance peak can be implemented, enabling dynamic power equalization of each wavelength-channel in wavelength-division-multiplexing (WDM) systems and optical frequency combs. The proposed architecture exhibits excellent scalability, which can facilitate the development of long-haul optical transport networks and high-capacity neuromorphic computing systems, while improving the overall performance of optical signals in WDM-related systems.

IntroductionIntrarenal backflow (IRB) is known to occur at increased intrarenal pressure (IRP). Irrigation during ureteroscopy increases IRP. Complications such as sepsis is more frequent after prolonged high-pressure ureteroscopy. We evaluated a new method to document and visualize intrarenal backflow as a function of IRP and time in a pig model.MethodsStudies were performed on five female pigs. A ureteral catheter was placed in the renal pelvis and connected to a Gadolinium/ saline solution 3 ml/L for irrigation. An occlusion balloon-catheter was left inflated at the uretero-pelvic junction and connected to a pressure monitor. Irrigation was successively regulated to maintain steady IRP levels at 10, 20, 30, 40 and 50 mmHg. MRI of the kidneys was performed at 5-minute intervals. PCR and immunoassay analyses were executed on the harvested kidneys to detect potential changes in inflammatory markers.ResultsMRI showed backflow of Gadolinium into the kidney cortex in all cases. The mean time to first visual damage was 15 minutes and the mean registered pressure at first visual damage was 21 mmHg. On the final MRI the mean percentage of IRB affected kidney was 66% after irrigation with a mean maximum pressure of 43 mmHg for a mean duration of 70 minutes. Immunoassay analyses showed increased MCP-1 mRNA expression in the treated kidneys compared to contralateral control kidneys.ConclusionsGadolinium enhanced MRI provided detailed information about IRB that has not previously been documented. IRB occurs at even very low pressures, and these findings are in conflict with the general consensus that keeping IRP below 30–35 mmHg eliminates the risk of post-operative infection and sepsis. Moreover, the level of IRB was documented to be a function of both IRP and time. The results of this study emphasize the importance of keeping IRP and OR time low during ureteroscopy.

Published: February 2023

IntroductionHypertension is a widespread condition when the blood’s force on the artery walls is extremely high to develop adverse health effects. This paper aimed to jointly model the longitudinal change of blood pressures (systolic and diastolic) and time to the first remission of hypertensive outpatients receiving treatment.MethodsA retrospective study design was used to collect appropriate data on longitudinal changes in blood pressure and time-to-event from the medical charts of 301 hypertensive outpatients under follow-up at Felege Hiwot referral hospital, Ethiopia. The data exploration was done using summary statistics measures, individual profile plots, Kaplan-Meier plots, and log-rank tests. To get wide-ranging information about the progression, joint multivariate models were employed.ResultsA total of 301 hypertensive patients who take treatment was taken from Felege Hiwot referral hospital recorded between Sep. 2018 to Feb. 2021. Of this 153 (50.8%) were male, and 124 (49.2%) were residents from rural areas. About 83(27.6%), 58 (19.3%), 82 (27.2%), and 25 (8.3%) have a history of diabetes mellitus, cardiovascular disease, stroke, and HIV respectively. The median time of hypertensive patients to have first remission time was 11 months. The hazard of the patient’s first remission time for males was 0.63 times less likely than the hazard for females. The time to attain the first remission for patients who had a history of diabetes mellitus was 46% lower than for those who had no history of diabetes mellitus.ConclusionBlood pressure dynamics significantly affect the time to the first remission of hypertensive outpatients receiving treatment. The patients who had a good follow-up, lower BUN, lower serum calcium, lower serum sodium, lower hemoglobin, and take the treatment enalapril showed an opportunity in decreasing their blood pressure. This compels patients to experience the first remission early. Besides, age, patient’s history of diabetes, patient’s history of cardiovascular disease, and treatment type were the joint determinant factors for the longitudinal change of BP and the first remission time. The Bayesian joint model approach provides specific dynamic predictions, wide-ranging information about the disease transitions, and better knowledge of disease etiology.
A systematic review of the barriers, enablers and strategies to embedding translational research within the public hospital system focusing on nursing and allied health professions
Authors: Smith Sophie , Johnson George 
Published: February 2023

Aim
This systematic review aims to investigate, identify, and compare evidence related to the barriers, enablers, and strategies to embedding translational research within a public hospital system focussed on nursing and allied health disciplines.

Methods
A systematic review looking at the international literature on the barriers, enablers and strategies in embedding translational research within a public health system addressing nursing and allied health professions. The study channelled the PRISMA reporting guidelines for systematic reviews and meta-analyses. Databases searched were Medline, Embase, Scopus and Pubmed from January 2011 to December 2021 (inclusive). A quality assessment was conducted of literature using the mixed methods appraisal tool 2011 version.

Results
Thirteen papers met the inclusion criteria. The studies included were from Australia, Saudi Arabia, China, Denmark and Canada. Occupational therapy and physiotherapy were the only two allied health disciplines identified in the search process. The review found considerable inter-relationships between the enablers, barriers, and strategies to embedding research translation in a public hospital setting. Three over-arching themes ‘leadership, organisational culture and capabilities’ were developed to capture the complexity of factors in embedding translational research. Key subthemes identified were education, knowledge, management, time, workplace culture and resources. All thirteen articles identified that a multifactorial approach is required to embed a research culture and translate research findings into clinical practice.

Conclusions
The themes of leadership, organisational culture and capabilities are inherently intertwined and therefore successful strategies require a whole of health approach with organisational leadership driving the strategy, as changing organisational culture takes time and considerable investment. We recommend that public health organisations, senior executives and policy makers consider the findings of this review to provide evidence to initiate organisational changes to support and help create a research environment to drive research translation within the public sector.

Abstract
The foamed polypropylene (PP) composites were prepared by injection molding process. Fourier’s law and software were used to calculate and simulate the internal temperature distribution of PP composites, respectively, and the influence of the temperature distribution on the foaming quality of foamed PP composites was further analyzed. The result showed that the calculative and simulated results of temperature distribution in different thermal transfer directions had great reproducibility. In different isothermal planes, the temperature from the nozzle to the dynamic mold gradually decreased. The isothermal plane with a temperature of 370.36 K had a better foaming quality, average diameter of cell and cell density were 28.46 µm and 3.7 × 1010 cells·cm−3, respectively. In different regions of the same isothermal plane, the temperature gradually decreased from the center to the edge. The foaming quality in the region (c) at a temperature of 335.86 K was ideal, and the average diameter of cell and the cell density were 26.5 µm and 2.39 × 1010 cells·cm−3, respectively. This work could provide prediction for improving the foaming quality of foamed polyolefin composites.
