Authors: Khalid Nur Haziyanti M. , Rasyid Nelfianty M. , Ahmad Yusop 
Published: June 2022

Background and Study Aim. The ability to turn back from stressful experiences quickly and efficiently is essential for any athlete who performs in high-level competition. Measuring the degree to which athletes deal with adversity, setbacks, and failure has become the area of concern in the field of resilience. The main aim of the study was to develop, validate and test the reliability of a new index of measurement that can evaluate the level of athletes’ resilience.
Material and Methods. The first phase of the study is developing 37 items of the Athletes Resilience Index (ARI-37) based on previous qualitative data. Meanwhile, in the second phase, the study focused on establishing the Confirmatory Factor Analysis, convergent validity, and construct reliability of the index. The sample consisted of 351 Performance Development athletes who represent the state of Perak, Malaysia in the Malaysian Games (SUKMA) 2022.
Results. Confirmatory Factor Analysis retained five risk issues in sports setting including performance, change, behavioral, psychological, and interpersonal. However, instead of 37 items, the Confirmatory Factor Analysis confirmed 26 items only. Most of the factors in ARI-26 yielded a high coefficient value of convergent validity (>0.5). Construct reliability of the index was also sufficient (0.44 to 0.62).
Conclusions. The development of ARI-26 will allow researchers to better capture the unique aspects of resilience in the sports context. Thus, the Athletes’ Resilience Index (ARI-26) is revealed to be a reliable instrument for the assessment of resilience levels in high-level athletes.

In the present investigation, the mango kernel seed starch-based edible coating was developed combined with different concentrations of lemongrass essential oil (EO). The effects of different edible coating formulations, such as T1 (2% mango kernel seed starch); T2 (2% mango kernel seed starch + 0.25% lemongrass essential oil); T3 (2% mango kernel seed starch + 0.5% lemongrass essential oil); and T4 (2% mango kernel seed starch + 1% lemongrass essential oil), were investigated for physiological, physiochemical, and microbiological properties of fresh guava fruit stored at 23 ± 2°C and a relative humidity of 85 ± 5% for up to 9 days. Results of the present study revealed that the mango kernel seed starch edible coating combined with lemongrass essential oil was effective in enhancing the storage life of guava fruit by maintaining their quality attributes. Treatment of mango kernel seed starch with 0.5% lemongrass essential oil (T3) was the most significant (P < 0.05) treatment to reduce physiological loss in weight and oxidation rate while maintaining the physiochemical characteristics, such as acidity, total soluble solids, textural property, phenolic contents, and sensory profiles of stored guava fruit samples, followed by T4 treatment. The microbial load of yeast and mold was also reduced by T3 and T4 treatments. All coating treatments were potent to enhance the storage life of guava fruit with improving post-harvest quality attributes for up to 9 days of storage. However, retention of higher quality of fruit was observed with T3 treatment.

Published: June 2022

Background: Pineapple is produced round the year in the tropics and therefore, market gluts are very common and post harvest losses of around 20-30% are reported. Intermediate Moisture Fruits (IMF) have a water activity ranging between 0.65-0.90 and moisture content of 15-40%. Hence, the present study was undertaken to develop intermediate moisture fruit slices by evaluating the effect of various osmotic agents and pineapple varieties on the physico-chemical and organoleptic qualities of the product. Methods: Pineapple varieties ‘Mauritius’, ‘Kew’ and ‘MD-2’ were selected for the study. Fruit slices were steam blanched, followed by immersion in osmotic solutions (fruit : solution ratio of 1: 4), containing six different osmotic agents viz. sucrose, sucrose+sorbitol, glucose syrup, sucrose+NaCl, palm sugar and honey separately, in combination with 0.5% ascorbic acid and 0.25% potassium metabisulphite, for six hours and were subsequently dehydrated at 50°C in a tray dryer. Result: Moisture content varied between 19.42 and 29.71% and water activity values in between 0.60 and 0.73.Decline in L* and b* values with a corresponding increase in a* value was observed in IM slices. Intermediate moisture pineapple slices had ascorbic acid content in the range of 17.64 to 200 mg 100 g-1.

Published: June 2022

Abstract
The plants growing in cold desert of western Himalaya have inhabited diversified endophytes. These endophytes can provide fitness to plant under harsh environmental situations. In the current study, 22 fungal endophytes isolated from Artemisia and Xerophytic plants growing in the cold desert were screened for thermo-tolerance at different temperature ranges (28, 30 32, 34, 36, 38 and 40oC) under in vitro. The only three isolates viz., A2, A7 and X5 exhibited growth up to 40oC and identified as Penicilium funiculosum (A2), Ceriporia lacerate (A7) and Endomelanconiopsis endophytica (X5) using ITS region. These endophytes inoculated to rice seedlings and exposed to elevated temperature (45℃) for 7hr per day for 10 days to study their effect on tolerance of rice to heat stress. The results revealed that endophytes inoculated seedlings showed sustained improvement in shoot and root growth. The E. endophytica was chosen to be the best endophyte to impart heat stress as per Fernandez model. This study suggested that cold desert endophytes could induce heat tolerance in plants.
Differing SAGA module requirements for NCR-sensitive gene transcription in yeast
Authors: Georis Isabelle , Ronsmans Aria , Vierendeels Fabienne , Dubois Evelyne 
Published: June 2022

Abstract
Nitrogen Catabolite repression is a means for yeast to adapt its transcriptome to changing nitrogen sources in its environment. In conditions of derepression (under poor nitrogen condition, upon rapamycin treatment, or when glutamine production is inhibited), two transcriptional activators of the GATA family are recruited to NCR-sensitive promoters and activate transcription of NCR-sensitive genes. Earlier observations have involved the SAGA chromatin remodelling complex in these transcriptional regulations. In this report, we provide an illustration of the varying NCR-sensitive responses and question whether differing SAGA recruitment could explain this diversity of responses.

Published: June 2022

Abstract
Many studies have shown that Lactobacillus species are bacteria that are mostly used as probiotics. Here, we evaluated cholesterol assimilation and folic acid production by determining the probiotic properties of Lactobacillus spp from raw goat milk, which has prebiotic properties. Bacteria were isolated from goat milk, and API 50 CHL and 16sRNA identification was performed. Probiotic properties were determined based on bile salt and acidic tolerance, hydrophobicity, haemolytic activity, antibiotic susceptibility, antagonistic effect, and exopolysaccharide production. In addition, cholesterol assimilation and folate production of cultures were determined. The exopolysaccharide production of Lactobacillus plantarum GM-12 was moderate (++), with the highest folate production (179 ng /dl), and high cholesterol assimilation (60 mg / dl). The exopolysaccharide production of L. plantarum GM-15 was high (+++), with high folate production (160 ng / dl) and high cholesterol assimilation (58 mg / dl). It is understood that these two strains may be potential probiotics and At the same time, these two lactobacilli are strong candidates for use as starter cultures.
Elevated nest temperature has opposing effects on host species infested with parasitic nest flies

Published: June 2022

Abstract
Environmental factors, such as elevated temperature, can have varying effects on hosts and their parasites, which can have consequences for disease outcomes. The individual direct effects of temperature must be disentangled to determine the net-effect in host-parasite relationships, yet few studies have determined the net-effects in a multi-host system. To address this gap, we experimentally manipulated temperature and parasite presence in the nests of two host species infested by parasitic blowflies (Protocalliphora sialia). We conducted a factorial experiment by increasing temperature (or not) and removing all parasites (or not) in the nests of eastern bluebirds (Sialia sialis) and tree swallows (Tachycineta bicolor). We then measured nestling morphometrics, blood loss, and survival and quantified parasite abundance. We predicted that if temperature had a direct effect on parasite fitness, then elevated temperature would cause similar directional effects on parasite abundance across host species. If temperature had a direct effect on hosts, and therefore an indirect effect on the parasite, parasite abundance would differ across host species. Heated swallow nests had fewer parasites compared to non-heated nests. In contrast, heated bluebird nests had more parasites compared to non-heated nests. The results of our study demonstrate that elevated temperature can have differential effects on host species, which can impact infestation susceptibility. Furthermore, changing climates could have complex net-effects on parasite fitness and host health across multi-host-parasite interactions.

Published: June 2022

Abstract

Wireless sensor networks (WSNs) show disadvantages of redundancy and relatively high network cost. Aiming at the problems of redundancy and increased network cost in the deployment of nodes in the wireless sensor network. Taking network coverage as the optimization goal, combined with the probability perception model, a new WSN coverage optimization method is proposed. With network coverage as the optimization goal, and a coverage optimization strategy for WSNs based on the improved monarch butterfly optimization algorithm is proposed. A mathematical model based on energy consumption, work efficiency, and coverage of the sensor network is established. To accelerate the convergence speed of the monarch butterfly algorithm, extend its search range, and prevent falling into local extreme values, the butterfly adjustment ratio is adjusted as per the number of iterations. A hybrid update rule is established based on the particle swarm optimization algorithm wherein the population is divided into three parts which are updated through migration, butterfly adjustment, and particle swarm update rules. A series of benchmarking functions are utilized to compare the proposed method with other WSN coverage optimization methods. The results show that the proposed algorithm effectively improves network coverage and node utilization while reducing network consumption.
Functional lung volume measurement method for the prediction of postoperative pulmonary function
Authors: Fan Zheyuan , Zhao Shilei , Wang Ling , Li Fengzhou , Wang Jin , Gu Chundong 
Published: June 2022

Abstract
Background
Functional lung volume (FLV) obtained from computed tomography images was a breakthrough for lung imaging and functional assessment. We compared the accuracy of the FLV measurement method and the segment-counting (SC) method in predicting postoperative pulmonary function.
Methods
A total of 113 patients who underwent two thoracoscopic surgeries were enrolled in our study. We predicted postoperative pulmonary function based on the FLV measurement method and the SC method. Novel formulas based on the FLV measurement method were established using linear regression equations between the factors affecting pulmonary function and the measured values.
Results
The measured pulmonary function by the FLV measurement method showed a better match with the postoperative pulmonary function than the SC method for forced vital capacity (FVC) and forced expiratory volume in 1 second (FEV1). Regression analysis showed that the measured preoperative pulmonary function parameters and the ratio of reduced FLV to preoperative FLV were significantly associated with the postoperative pulmonary function parameters and could predict these parameters. The feasibility of using these equations to predict the pulmonary function parameters after wedge resection was also verified.
Conclusions
The new FLV measurement method is valuable in predicting postoperative pulmonary function in patients undergoing lung resection surgery with an accuracy and consistency similar to those of the conventional SC method.
