Article Synopsis
- Understanding plant growth is crucial, especially with restrictions like COVID-19 hindering field studies, making modeling a valuable tool for predicting plant performance in limited conditions.
- The study focused on rubber plants grown in two types of acidic soils treated with different magnesium sources, assessing their growth through metrics like height, stem diameter, and biomass, using specific mathematical models to analyze growth rates.
- Results indicated that magnesium-rich synthetic gypsum (MRSG) significantly enhanced rubber seedling growth compared to other treatments, especially in Ultisol soil, suggesting MRSG could effectively replace traditional magnesium fertilizers for sustainable growth.
The globally vital oil palm, a major oil producer, confronts productivity challenges due to Ganoderma boninense (Gb), causing output decline. Chemical control efforts have proven ineffective, prompting exploration of microbial-based biocontrol. While single fungal biocontrol research exists, the impact of employing multiple biocontrols concurrently to combat Ganoderma and enhance oil palm growth remains uncharted.

For that, this study aimed to screen workers from high-risk industrial sectors, identify hazards in the workplace and recommend improvement measures in the workplace to prevent occupational diseases.
Methods And Analysis: This is a 3-year project in which a survey of 100 000 workers from all 13 states in Malaysia will be conducted using a web-based screening tool that is comprised of two parts: occupational disease screening tool and hazard identification, risk assessment and risk control method.
Prevalence and associated factors of suspected occupational skin diseases among restaurant workers in peninsular Malaysia: secondary data analysis of Registry for Occupational Disease Screening (RODS).
BMJ Open
August 2024
Article Synopsis
- * Data was collected from 300 restaurant workers using the 2023 Registry of Occupational Disease Screening, with logistic regression identifying factors linked to OSDs, including exposure to wet work and high job stress.
- * The results highlight the need for targeted interventions, as OSDs pose a significant health risk in this occupational group, suggesting that addressing job conditions and wet work environments may help reduce these diseases.
Article Synopsis
- The Tricolour langur, a critically endangered primate endemic to Borneo, faces a declining population with no detailed scientific reports available on its status in Sarawak.
- Recent research conducted in Jemoreng, Sarawak, utilized high-throughput DNA metabarcoding to analyze the langur's diet, revealing 11 distinct plant species linked to their feeding habits.
- Key plant species identified include akar kuning (Menispermaceae), akar jangkang (Urticaceae), and lychee (Sapindaceae), highlighting the importance of understanding their diet for effective conservation efforts.
