Article Synopsis
- - In Malaysia, bananas are the second most produced fruit and significant for exports, but a bacterial wilt disease outbreak affected a plantation in Teluk Intan, impacting 5 out of 6.6 hectares.
- - The disease manifests through leaf wilting, plant decay, discoloration, and fruit rotting, leading researchers to sample and sterilize affected banana tissues for bacterial analysis.
- - Five unique bacterial colonies were identified through 16S rRNA gene sequencing, with two strains (UTAR-BC1 and UTAR-BC2) showing complete genetic similarity, highlighting the ongoing investigation into bacterial pathogens affecting bananas in Malaysia.
Development of Porous Epoxy Micro-Beads Using Ammonium Bicarbonate through a Single Epoxy Droplet in Corn Oil.

Department of Physics, Częstochowa University of Technology, 42201 Częstochowa, Poland.
This paper explored the effects of ammonium bicarbonate and different ratios of epoxy to polyamide on the formation of porous epoxy micro-beads through a single epoxy droplet. A single drop of a mixture, consisting of epoxy, polyamide, and ammonium bicarbonate, was dropped into heated corn oil at a temperature of 100 °C. An epoxy droplet was formed due to the immiscibility of the epoxy mixture and corn oil.

Department of Biomedical Science, Faculty of Science, Universiti Tunku Abdul Rahman Perak Campus, 31900 Kampar, Perak, Malaysia.
Background: Cocaine- and amphetamine-regulated transcript (CART) is a hypothalamic anorectic neuropeptide that controls feeding behaviour and body weight. The study objective was to investigate the association of the CART prepropeptide gene (CARTPT) rs2239670 variant with obesity and its related anthropometric indicators among patients of a Malaysian health clinic in Kampar, Perak, Malaysia.
Methods: A total of 300 Malay/Peninsular Bumiputera, Chinese, and Indian subjects (115 males, 185 females; 163 non-obese, 137 obese) were recruited by convenience sampling, and anthropometric measurements, blood pressures, and pulse rate were taken.
