Sustainable captive breeding practices for native Indonesian freshwater fish.

In Indonesia, the over-exploitation and habitat degradation of its biodiverse freshwater fish populations, has led to an urgent need for conservation of endangered fish species. A review is conducted on sustainable captive breeding practices for native Indonesian freshwater fish, with emphasis placed on the importance of ex situ conservation strategies. The key components of captive breeding such as ecological and biological research in the field; capturing, handling, and transportation of fish; selection of genetically diverse breeding stock; care and quarantine measures; feed acclimatization; and creation of reproductive facilities have been discussed.

BDPapayaLeaf: A dataset of papaya leaf for disease detection, classification, and analysis.

Papaya is a popular vegetable and fruit in both developing and developed countries. Nonetheless, Bangladesh's agricultural landscape is significantly influenced by papaya cultivation. However, disease is a common impediment to papaya productivity, adversely affecting papaya quality and yield and leading to substantial economic losses for farmers.

Data of history: An open-source and multiformat wall image dataset of Panam city, a historical place.

Historical data on monuments offers valuable insights into that period's past sculpture, architecture, and preferences. Realising the importance of historical data and the scarcity of data on historical places, this study presents a dataset collected from Panam City. Panam City, established in the late 1300s century, was the capital of the fifteenth-century Bengal ruler Isa Khan.

Conserving goat sperm post-thawed gene expression and cellular characteristics using the antioxidant coenzyme Q10 supplementation.

Background And Aim: The use of frozen goat semen for artificial insemination frequently results in a decline in sperm quality following thawing, which can be attributed to cold shock from cryopreservation, reduced motility, and possible DNA damage. Freezing may compromise mRNA stability due to the presence of free radicals. Despite strong post-thaw motility and no visible DNA fragmentation, sperm can still exhibit altered gene expression patterns.

A novel p.127Val>Ile SNP in the MTNR1A gene and its relation to litter size in Thin-tailed Indonesian ewes.

Objective: The primary objective is to identify and characterize the Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms (SNPs) within the MTNR1A gene sequence in thin-tailed Indonesian ewes to assess the possible association of MTNR1A gene polymorphism with litter size trait.

Methods: Forty-seven thin-tailed Indonesian sheep were selected for the study. Genotyping involved collecting blood samples, and sequencing exon 2 of the MTNR1A gene.

N-phenyl pyrazoline derivative inhibits cell aggressiveness and enhances paclitaxel sensitivity of triple negative breast cancer cells.

Protein kinase dysregulation induces cancer cell aggressiveness leading to rapid tumor progression and poor prognosis in TNBC patients. Many small-molecule kinase inhibitors have been tested in clinical trials to treat TNBC patients. In the previous study, we found that N-phenylpyrazoline small molecule acts as a protein kinase inhibitor in cervical cancer cells.

Comparative stability analysis of Indonesian banks: Markov Switching-Dynamic Regression for Islamic and conventional sectors.

The banking industry necessitates implementing an early warning system to effectively identify the factors that impact bank managers and enable them to make informed decisions, thereby mitigating systemic risk. Identifying factors that influence banks in times of stability and crisis is crucial, as it ultimately contributes to developing an improved early warning system. This study undertakes a comparative analysis of the stability of Indonesian Islamic and conventional banking across distinct economic regimes-crisis and stability.

Pulmonary Ionocytes Regulate Airway Surface Liquid pH in Primary Human Bronchial Epithelial Cells.

Pulmonary ionocytes are a newly discovered airway epithelial cell type proposed to be a major contributor to cystic fibrosis (CF) lung disease based on observations they express the cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) anion channel at a higher level than any other cell type in the airway epithelia. Moreover, genetically manipulated experimental models that lack ionocytes develop NaCl transport abnormalities and airway surface liquid (ASL) dehydration consistent with CF. However, no direct evidence indicates ionocytes engage in NaCl transport or contribute to ASL formation, questioning the relevance of ionocytes to CF lung disease.

The Yield of Active Tuberculosis Disease and Latent Tuberculosis Infection in Tuberculosis Household Contacts Investigated Using Chest X-ray in Yogyakarta Province, Indonesia.

In Indonesia, the implementation of tuberculosis (TB) contact investigation is limited, with low detection rates. We report the yield of and risk factors for TB disease and infection for household contacts (HHCs) investigated using chest X-ray (CXR) screening. We identified HHCs aged five years and above of bacteriologically confirmed index cases from 2018 to 2022 in Yogyakarta City and Kulon Progo.

Effect of Ag and Ni-Doped Cerium Oxide Nanoparticles on the Formation of ROS and Evaluation as an Alternative Physical Sunscreen Material.

CeO nanoparticles (nanoceria) were proposed as an alternative physical sunscreen agent with antioxidant properties and comparable UV absorption performance. Green synthesis of nanoceria with Ag and Ni dopants resulted in doped nanoceria with lower catalytic activity and biologically-safe characteristics. The doped nanoceria was characterized using X-ray diffraction (XRD), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), Rancimat Instrument, and UV-Vis Spectrophotometer for SPF (Sun Protection Factor) determination.

The 30 Years of Shifting in The Indonesian Cardiovascular Burden-Analysis of The Global Burden of Disease Study.

Importance: Cardiovascular disease (CVD) remains the leading cause of mortality and morbidity. Compared with disease burden rates in 1990, significant reductions in Disability-Adjusted Life Years (DALYs) burden rates for CVD have been recorded. However, general DALYs rates have not changed in Indonesia in the past 30 years.

Association of melatonin receptor 1 A with litter size in sheep: A review.

Sheep are a valuable livestock species worldwide, providing meat, milk, and various dairy products. This article aims to review the latest literature on the melatonin receptor 1A (MTNR1A) gene as a potential candidate gene associated with reproductive traits, particularly the litter size trait in sheep, by searching various databases for available literature. Studies have shown that different parts of the MTNR1A gene play various roles in sheep.

Isolation of active compounds from GMY01 and cytotoxic activity on breast cancer cells line.

The occurrence of resistance to anticancer and the emergence of serious side effects due to chemotherapy is one of the main problems in cancer treatment, including breast cancer. The need for effective anticancer with a specific target is urgently required. are widely known as the potential producers of new anticancer molecules.

The roles of thyroidectomy in patients with amiodarone-induced thyrotoxicosis: A systematic review.

The principal management of Amiodarone-induced-thyrotoxicosis (AIT) is balancing cardiac-thyroid conditions. However, the role of thyroidectomy is still contentious. This systematic review aims to provide insights into the roles of thyroidectomy in the management of AIT.

Development of Flexible Medical Electrodes Using Carrageenan-Based Bioplastics with the Addition of Conductive Hybrid Materials Graphite and Silver Nanoparticles.

Electrodes are crucial in medical devices, specifically health monitoring devices for biopotential measurements such as electrocardiography, electromyography (EMG), and electroencephalography. The commonly used rigid electrodes have limitations in their skin-electrode contact quality since they cannot conform to the skin's surface area and body contours. Flexible electrodes have been developed to better conform to the body's surface contours, improving ion transfer and minimizing motion artifacts, thereby enhancing the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR).

Effect of (Scheff.) Boerl Leaf Ethanol Extract on Serum IL-6 and TNF-α Levels in Diabetic Rats.
