Published: May 2022

Abstract
Bali cattle (Bos javanicus) is one of the native cattle of Indonesia, which have excellent performance though reared in hot tropic condition with low quality of feed. As generally known, livestock performance is influenced by genetic and non-genetic such as environmental factors. Therefore, this study aims to determine the non-genetic factors on growth traits of Bali cattle. The material used in this study was Bali cattle that participated in the progeny test program, consisting of 20 bulls, 122 cows and 176 calves born three years in row. The data included sex, birth season, mating system, parity, and data on growth traits which included: birth weight (BW), weaning weight at 205 days (WW205), yearling weight at 365 days (YW365) and mature weight at 730 days (MW730). Data were then analyzed using Analysis of Variance (ANOVA). The result shows that BW, YW365 and MW730 were influenced by birth season and sex (p<0.05), and WW205 was influenced by sex and parity (p<0.05). Based on the result, we concluded that the performance of the Bali cattle population in this study was influenced by non-genetic factors that are birth season, sex and parity affect the growth traits of Bali cattle.

Abstract
A good quality of feed should be fed to the animal after transport. The objective of the research was to investigate the effect of sorinfer and commercial concentrate feed on feedlot performance of local beef cattle after short period of transportation. This study used 8 Ongole Crossbreed (PO) and 8 Local Crossbreed Cattle (SL) bull with average age of 18-30 months. The average body weight of Ongole and Local Crossbreed Cattle were 291.5±23.5 kg and 289.0±26.3 kg respectively. The bull was allotted into two treatment of feed namely Sorinfer and commercial concentrate feed. Parameter observed were body weight loss, recovery time, body weight after short fattening period, average daily gain, feed consumption and conversion. A factorial 2 × 2 design was used for data analysis. Result shows that average of body weight loss for both breed was 1,2%. Furthermore, recovery time for both breed was similar for 10 days. In addition, PO cattle with Sorinfer and commercial concentrate feed has higher body weight gain and final weight (P<0,05) compare to SL cattle. In conclusion, sorinfer feed was effective for recovery after transport for local beef cattle. However, sorinfer provide lower performance compare to commercial concentrate for short fattening period.

Abstract
This study evaluated the effect of feeding broiler garlic processing on performance. In a completely randomized design (CRD), 200 one-day-old broiler chicks were randomly allocated to four diet treatments, with five replicates of ten birds each. The treatment diets are as follows; the control T0 (0%), 3% fresh garlic (T1), 3% garlic powder (T2), and 3% black garlic powder (T3), respectively. Supplementation of black garlic powder would be more costly than others. Feed and water were supplied ad libitum. The average temperature and humidity observed were 27±3°C and 83%. The parameters measured were; feed intake, weight gain, feed conversion ratio, final body weight, and mortality. The result showed that supplementation of garlic processing had a significant effect (P<0.05) on performances. T1 had the highest feed intake (P<0.05). The weight gain differs significantly (P<0.05) between T1 and T3. T2 had a significant impact on final body weight (P<0.05). Although tending to have a lower feed conversion ratio in T2, there is no significant effect on feed conversion ratio and mortality. It was reported that supplementing 3 % garlic powder (T2) improves broiler growth performance and final body weight.

Abstract
This study aims to determine the quality of goat’s milk yogurt with red ginger extract addition. This research was conducted experimentally using a completely randomized design with the red ginger extract added (0%, 1%, 2%, 3%, 4%) with four replications. The parameters to be measured are physicochemical quality, namely acidity, pH, viscosity and density, chemical composition, fat content, protein content, water content, and microbiological tests - total lactic acid bacteria (LAB) and total plate count (TPC). The collected data were analyzed by One Way ANOVA. The results showed that the range of fat content was 6.57%-12.51%, protein content 4.78%-7.66%, water content 79.12%-82.45%, acidity 0.1-0.15, pH 3.72-3.83, viscosity 6.86-9.57 CPs, BJ 1.011- 1.035, BAL 11.23-11-85 log cfu/mL, and TPC 11.37-13.17 log cfu/mL. The addition of red ginger extracts significantly affected fat content, protein content, lactic acid content, viscosity, density, LAB and TPC content of goat’s milk yogurt. The addition of red ginger extract can increase the fat content and reduce the amount of TPC in goat’s milk yogurt.

Abstract
Three-dimensional (3D) bioprinting of self-supporting stable tissue and organ structure is critically important in extrusion-based bioprinting system, especially for tissue engineering and regenerative medicine applications. However, the development of self-standing bioinks with desired crosslinking density, biocompatibility, tunable mechanical strength and other properties like self-healing, in situ gelation, drug or protein incorporation is still a challenge. In this study, we report a hydrogel bioink prepared from alginate (Alg) and hyaluronic acid (HA) crosslinked through multiple crosslinking mechanisms, i.e. acyl-hydrazone, hydrazide interactions and calcium ions. These Alg-HA gels were highly dynamic and shear-thinning with exceptional biocompatibility and tunable mechanical properties. The increased dynamic nature of the gels is mainly chemically attributed to the presence of acyl-hydrazone bonds formed between the amine groups of the acyl-hydrazide of alginate and the monoaldehyde of the HA. Among the different combinations of Alg-HA gel compositions prepared, the A5H5 (Alginate-acyl-hydrazide:HA-monoaldehyde, ratio 50:50) gel showed a gelation time of ∼60 s, viscosity of ∼400 Pa s (at zero shear rate), high stability in various pH solutions and increased degradation time (>50 days) than the other samples. The A5H5 gels showed high printability with increased post-printing stability as observed from the 3D printed structures (e.g. hollow tube (∼100 layers), porous cube (∼50 layers), star, heart-in, meniscus and lattice). The scanning electron microscopy analysis of the 3D constructs and hydrogels showed the interconnected pores (∼181 µm) and crosslinked networks. Further, the gels showed sustained release of 5-amino salicylic acid and bovine serum albumin. Also, the mechanical properties were tuned by secondary crosslinking via different calcium concentrations. In vitro assays confirmed the cytocompatibility of these gels, where the 3D bioprinted lattice and tubular (∼70 layers) constructs demonstrated high cell viability under fluorescence analysis. In in vivo studies, Alg-HA gel showed high biocompatibility (>90%) and increased angiogenesis (threefolds) and reduced macrophage infiltration (twofold decrease), demonstrating the promising potential of these hydrogels in 3D bioprinting applications for tissue engineering and regenerative medicine with tunable properties.

Abstract
Lithium niobate is a promising platform for integrated quantum optics. In this platform, we aim to efficiently manipulate and detect quantum states by combining superconducting single photon detectors and modulators. The cryogenic operation of a superconducting single photon detector dictates the optimisation of the electro-optic modulators under the same operating conditions. To that end, we characterise a phase modulator, directional coupler, and polarisation converter at both ambient and cryogenic temperatures. The operation voltage

Invited Commentary: There’s No Place Like Home—Integrating a Place-Based Approach to Understanding Sleep
Authors: Hauptman Marissa , Lockley Steven W , Landrigan Christopher P 
Published: May 2022

Abstract
Light exposure at night impedes sleep and shifts the circadian clock. An extensive body of literature has linked sleep deprivation and circadian misalignment with cardiac disease, cancer, mental health disorders, and other chronic illnesses, as well as more immediate risks, such as motor vehicle crashes and occupational injuries. In this issue of the Journal, Zhong et al. (Am J Epidemiol. 2022;191(9):1532–1539) build on this literature, finding that in a cohort of 50,000 California teachers, artificial light at night, noise, green space, and air pollution were all associated with sleep disturbances. Light, noise, air pollution, and the lack of green space are problems inequitably distributed across the population, concentrated among vulnerable populations in inner cities. Zhong et al. provide novel data on the manner in which these local environmental exposures drive sleep deprivation. Future research should explore the degree to which place-based disparities in sleep in turn drive disparities in short and long-term health. Addressing home-based sleep disparities could be an avenue to addressing systemic racism and achieving environmental justice.

Abstract

Background
Recommended systolic blood pressure targets often do not consider the relationship of low diastolic blood pressure (DBP) levels with cardiovascular disease (CVD) and all-cause mortality risk, which is especially relevant for older people with concurrent comorbidities. We examined the relationship of DBP levels to CVD and all-cause mortality in older women in the Women’s Health Initiative Long Life Study (WHI-LLS).

Methods
The study sample included 7,875 women (mean age: 79 years) who underwent a blood pressure measurement at an in-person home visit conducted in 2012–2013. CVD and all-cause mortality were centrally adjudicated. Hazard ratios (HRs) were obtained from adjusted Cox proportional hazards models.

Results
After 5 years follow-up, all-cause mortality occurred in 18.4% of women. Compared with a DBP of 80 mm Hg, the fully adjusted HR for mortality was 1.33 (95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.04–1.71) for a DBP of 50 mm Hg and 1.67 (95% CI: 1.29–2.16) for a DBP of 100 mm Hg. The HRs for CVD were 1.14 (95% CI: 0.78–1.67) for a DBP of 50 mm Hg and HR 1.50 (95% CI: 1.03–2.17) for a DBP of 100 mm Hg. The nadir DBP associated with lowest mortality risk was 72 mm Hg overall.

Conclusions
In older women, consideration should be given to the potential adverse effects of low and high DBP. Low DBP may serve as a risk marker. DBP target levels between 68 and 75 mm Hg may avoid higher mortality risk.
British Policy towards the Incorporation of the Baltic States into the USSR: A Dilemma of de facto and de jure Recognition
Authors: Tikhonravov Evgeny 
Published: May 2022

Abstract
Multiple viewpoints have been expressed regarding the British attitude towards the Soviet annexation of Estonia, Latvia, and Lithuania. The vast majority of writers maintain that the United Kingdom extended only de facto recognition to this incorporation. A small minority of commentators, however, hold otherwise and argue that Britain recognised the annexation de jure. To address this controversy, which has previously received almost no consideration, this article traces the development of the British policy towards the incorporation of the Baltic republics into the USSR, giving wide scope to the statements of the British government and to the views of Members of Parliament. Careful attention is also given to judicial practice. This legal and historical analysis helps to identify the meaning of de facto and de jure recognition used by Britain in the Baltic case, as well as clarifies a number of other relevant questions (for example, whether a territorial annexation may constitute a separate object of recognition, and whether a military occupant may be equated with a government recognised de facto). After determining the correct approach to this academic debate, the article suggests how its findings may contribute to studies contrasting the position of the UK with respect to the Baltic annexation with that of other countries.
Identification of genes differentially expressed between prostrate shoots and erect shoots in the lycophyte Selaginella nipponica using an RNA-seq approach
Authors: Sun Jun , Li Gui-Sheng 
Published: May 2022

Abstract
Lycophytes are the earliest vascular plants and Selaginella is the most studied genus among them. Prostrate shoots are produced during early growth and erect shoots emerge later in S. nipponica, thus providing an opportunity for exploring the evolution of the mechanism underlying the transition between growth phases. Six libraries were sequenced for the prostrate and the erect shoots, and a total of 206 768 genes were identified. Some genes were differentially expressed in prostate and erect shoot, with relatively high expression in the prostate shoots being related to hormone responses and defence reactions, while higher expression in the erect shoots was related to spore formation and shoot development. Some SPL genes possessed a miR156 binding site and were highly expressed in the erect shoots, while AP2-like genes were more highly expressed in the prostrate shoots but simultaneously lacked any miR172 binding site. MiR156 was detected at a higher concentration in the prostrate shoots. Thus, the mechanism for the vegetative to reproductive transition of sporophytes probably originated in the common ancestor of vascular plants and must have experienced stepwise development during evolution.
Fungal association and root morphology shift stepwise during ontogenesis of orchidCremastra appendiculatatowards autotrophic nutrition

Published: May 2022

AbstractThe chlorophyllous, terrestrial orchid Cremastra appendiculata from East Asia is unique concerning its fungal mycorrhiza partners. The initially mycoheterotrophic protocorms exploit rather specialized non-rhizoctonia saprotrophic Psathyrellaceae. Adult individuals of this orchid species are either linked to Psathyrellaceae being partially mycoheterotrophic or form mycorrhiza with fungi of the ubiquitous saprotrophic rhizoctonia group. This study provides new insights on nutrition mode, subterranean morphology and fungal partners across different life stages of C. appendiculata. We compared different development stages of C. appendiculata to surrounding autotrophic reference plants based on multi-element natural abundance stable isotope analyses (δ13C, δ15N, δ2H, δ18O) and total N concentrations. Site- and sampling-time-independent enrichment factors of stable isotopes were used to reveal trophic strategies. We determined mycorrhizal fungi of C. appendiculata protocorm, seedling and adult samples using high-throughput DNA sequencing. We identified saprotrophic non-rhizoctonia Psathyrellaceae as dominant mycorrhizal fungi in protocorm and seedling rhizomes. In contrast, the roots of seedlings and mature C. appendiculata were mainly colonized with fungi belonging to the polyphyletic assembly of rhizoctonia (Ceratobasidium, Thanatephorus and Serendipitaceae). Mature C. appendiculata did not differ in isotopic signature from autotrophic reference plants suggesting a fully autotrophic nutrition mode. Characteristic of orchid specimens entirely relying on fungal nutrition, C. appendiculata protocorms were enriched in 15N, 13C and 2H compared to reference plants. Seedlings showed an intermediate isotopic signature, underpinning the differences in the fungal community depending on their subterranean morphology. In contrast to the suggestion that C. appendiculata is a partially mycoheterotrophic orchid species, we provide novel evidence that mature C. appendiculata with rhizoctonia mycobionts can be entirely autotrophic. Besides an environmentally driven variability among populations, we suggest high within-individual flexibility in nutrition and mycobionts of C. appendiculata, which is subject to the ontogenetic development stage.

‘The Anxiety of a Lifetime’—Dealing with Debt in Desistance from Crime
Authors: Gålnander Robin 
Published: May 2022

AbstractDebt problems are ubiquitous among people with convictions, yet debts’ implications for processes of desistance from crime remain underexplored. Existing research has primarily focused on ‘punishment debt’. Building on that, this longitudinal study of women in Sweden takes a holistic approach to debts in desistance. Debts are potentially criminogenic forces restricting agency in desistance. However, becoming debt-free and creditworthy is a potent way of approaching mainstream society from a position as ‘excluded other’. Importantly, while some debts are viewed as ‘normal’ and required to live out normative dreams of material prosperity, desisters perceived their debts as the ‘wrong’ type in relation to their view of normalcy. This emphasizes the long road toward the mainstream that desistance processes involve.
