The aim of this study was to quantify the type of offensive sequences that result in goals in elite futsal. Thirty competitive games in the Spanish Primera Division de Sala were analysed using computerised notation analysis for patterns of play that resulted in goals. More goals were scored in positional attack (42%) and from set pieces (27%) compared to other activities. The number of defence to offense "transitions" (n = 45) and the start of offensive plays due to the rules of the game (n = 45) were the most common type of sequences that resulted in goals compared to other patterns of play. The central offensive zonal areas were the most common for shots on goal, with 73% of all goals scored from these areas of the pitch compared to defensive and wide zones. The foot was the main part of the body involved in scoring (n = 114). T-pattern analysis of offensive sequences revealed regular patterns of play, which are common in goal scoring opportunities in futsal and are typical movement patterns in this sport. The data demonstrate common offensive sequences and movement patterns related to goals in elite futsal and this could provide important information for the development of physical and technical training drills that replicate important game situations.

Influence of specific tobacco endophytic on tobacco leaf quality enhancement during fermentation.
Front Microbiol
November 2024
Gansu Tobacco Industry Co., Ltd., Lanzhou, Gansu, China.
Introduction: This study aimed to investigate the potential role of endophytic bacteria in tobacco leaves during the fermentation process to enhance the quality of tobacco.
Methods: We isolated 11 endophytic bacteria from fresh tobacco leaves and selected NS36 and NS75 based on sensory evaluation, both of which significantly improved the sensory quality of tobacco leaves.
Results: Specifically, NS36 decreased offensive taste in tobacco leaves, while NS75 improved the quality by increasing the aroma.
Cell Wall Dynamics in the parasitic plant () and rice pathosystem.
Mol Plant Microbe Interact

Kenyatta University, Department of Biochemistry, Microbiology and Biotechnology, P O Box 43844, Nairobi, Nairobi, Kenya, 00100;
In the plant-plant pathosystem of rice () and the parasitic plant , cell walls from either plant are important defensive and offensive structures. Here we reveal cell wall dynamics in both and rice using simultaneous RNA sequencing. We used weighted gene co-expression network analysis (WGCNA) to home in on cell wall modification processes occurring in interactions with a resistant rice cultivar (Nipponbare) compared to a susceptible one (IAC 165).

Curr Psychiatry Rep
January 2025
Sexual Violence Research and Prevention Unit, School of Law and Society, University of the Sunshine Coast, Sunshine Coast, Australia.
Purpose Of Review: Recent scholarship has advocated the need for more detailed analysis of key components within sexual offender treatment programs that contribute to successful outcomes; and importantly to delineate 'what works best, for whom.' The present review interrogates recent scholarship on treatment duration and dosage, program composition and sequencing, to advance critical discussion on 'for whom' treatment works best.
Recent Findings: Although we now know more about what key program components are associated with better outcomes overall, observed differences at an individual level reemphasize the importance of attending to specific responsivity factors in treatment.
Comparative genomic analysis reveals distinct virulence and resistance mechanisms in 21 bacterial fish pathogens.
Microb Pathog

Department of Molecular Biology and Biotechnology, Tezpur University, Tezpur, 784028, Assam, India. Electronic address:
The rising bacterial infections threaten world aquaculture and wild fish populations, making it imperative to increase the understanding of the mechanisms of pathogenic virulence and resistance. This study applies comparative genomic analysis to 21 bacterial fish pathogens, using whole-genome sequences from public genomic resources and sophisticated bioinformatics tools for screening of virulence factors, mobile genetic elements, antibiotic resistance genes, anti-phage defense mechanisms and secretory systems. We have seen that the different pathogens depict a wide range of variability regarding virulence and resistance potential, which may be attributed to species-specific adaptation.

PLoS One
October 2024
School of IT, Deakin University, Melbourne, Australia.
In association football, predicting the likelihood and outcome of a shot at a goal is useful but challenging. Expected goal (xG) models can be used in a variety of ways including evaluating performance and designing offensive strategies. This study proposed a novel framework that uses the events preceding a shot, to improve the accuracy of the expected goals (xG) metric.
