This study aims to explain the current dispersion of tuberculosis (TB) and provide evidence that could help predicting its future transmission in Daerah Istimewa Yogyakarta (DIY) Province, Java Island, Indonesia. One hundred thirty-two adult (>14 years old) individuals, with TB diagnosed by health professionals using the Directly Observed Treatment, Short Course strategy, were identified Their residential addresses and geographical patterns of movement were investigated by global positioning systems and descriptive spatial analysis using standard deviation ellipse analysis and kernel estimation. The dispersion of TB cases was studied by ellipse regression, which showed a pattern extending in a direction oriented from north-west to south-east centred on Kasihan District, Bantul Regency, DIY Province, located near Yogyakarta City. Levels of TB risk in the study area varied from non-existent to high as calculated by kernel estimation. We conclude that suburban communities, followed by densely populated residential areas, enabled by socio-economic factors, are more likely to see increased TB transmission in the future.

Background And Aim: Milk physicochemical properties play essential role in the milk processing industry, which are moderately to highly affected by genetic factors. This study aimed to evaluate the association between single nucleotide polymorphisms in POU class 1 homeobox 1 () and the physicochemical properties of milk in high-producing Holstein Friesian (HF) cows.
Materials And Methods: A total of 149 high-producing dairy cows from PT Ultra Peternakan Bandung Selatan was included in this study.

Fine-flavored cocoa is generally characterized by fresh bean color and sensory characteristics. However, these methods cannot be applied to progenies/hybrids because their colors may vary depending on their parents. Additionally, sensory evaluation lacks universal quality standards, necessitating robust complementary characterization methods.
