Victory is the ultimate aim in high performance sports; when it comes to team sports, the goal is the key that allows players to achieve that victory. This is the case with futsal which, due to its internal structure as well as the speed in the development of its game, makes the achievement of a goal not an isolated event, but rather more than one goal must be scored to achieve victory. The aim of the present study is to analyze the construction of offensive sequences that have resulted in goal-scoring in the two main European futsal leagues, the Spanish and the Italian, as well as to identify the patterns relating to offensive actions that have ended with a goal being scored. Observational methodology was used to develop the research and an observation instrument (OAF-I) was developed for this purpose. The data was analyzed using inferential statistics as well as sequential analysis of delays in a diachronic analysis to identify the patterns of offensive actions. The results obtained enable recognition of a league's idiosyncrasy patterns in goal-scoring in each of the leagues studied. The results obtained will allow experts to have a better understanding of how goals are scored and how to establish more specific training tasks, in both attack and defense.

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

December 2024

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).

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.

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.

The South China Sea is rich in sea anemone resources, and the protein and peptide components from sea anemone toxins comprise an important treasure trove for researchers to search for leading compounds. This study conducted a comprehensive transcriptomic analysis of the tentacles and column of and explored the distribution and diversity of proteins and peptides in depth using bioinformatics, initially constructing a putative protein and peptide database. In this database, typical peptide families are identified through amino acid sequence analysis, and their 3D structures and potential biological activities are revealed through AlphaFold2 modeling and molecular docking.
