The use of multiple omics techniques (i.e., genomics, transcriptomics, proteomics, and metabolomics) is becoming increasingly popular in all facets life science. Omics provide a more holistic molecular perspective studied biological systems compared to traditional approaches. However, due their inherent data differences, integrating platforms remains an ongoing challenge for many researchers. As metabolites represent the downstream products interactions between genes, transcripts, proteins,...
Workplace bullying is increasingly recognized as an important area of debate, particularly among researchers adopting a psychological perspective work. This paper examines definitions workplace and explores less orthodox approaches within British context. It focuses primarily on managers perpetrators, comments the ‘bullying organization’, relevance human resource management gender. Context, balance power, workers’ collective resistance trade unions are then emphasized significant factors...
Previous research strongly indicates that the perpetrators of workplace bullying in Britain are mainly managers. Contrary to predominant view literature and despite cost implications for employers, this article proposes an agenda future empirical focused on whether employers may also benefit significantly from bullying. It outlines a definition bullying, key debates prescriptions suggested previously published management contest prevent it. When is perceived terms managerial control labour...
Abstract Purpose The research goal is to develop dietary strategies help address the growing incidence of inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD). This study has investigated effectiveness green banana resistant starch (GBRS) and probiotic Bacillus coagulans MTCC5856 spores for amelioration dextran-sulfate sodium (DSS)-induced colitis in mice. Methods Eight-week-old C57BL/6 mice were fed standard rodent chow diet supplemented with either B. , GBRS or its synbiotic combination. After 7 days...
Though previous research has established organizational change as an antecedent of workplace bullying, issues about the source, aetiology, target orientation and level involvement role HRM remain unstudied. Addressing these gaps through a hermeneutic phenomenological inquiry Indian IT sector employees laid off during 2008–2009 financial recession, downwards depersonalized bullying rooted in context, stemming from implementation endeavour indicating complicity HR managers emerged predominant....
ABSTRACT Detection of human wastewater contamination in recreational waters is critical importance to regulators due the risks posed public health. To identify such risks, wastewater-associated microbial source tracking (MST) markers have been developed. At present, however, a greater understanding suitability these for detection diluted environmental necessary predict risk. Here, we compared process limit (PLOD) and quantification (PLOQ) six MST ( Bacteroides HF183 [HF183], Escherichia coli...
Recent evidence suggests that gut microbiota shifts can alter host metabolism even during healthy aging. Lactobacillus acidophilus DDS-1, a probiotic strain, has shown promising character in vitro, as well clinical studies. The present study was carried out to investigate whether DDS-1 modulate the metabolic phenotype under condition of age-affected microbial young and aging C57BL/6J mice. Collected fecal samples were analyzed using 16S rRNA gene sequencing for identifying untargeted gas...
Inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD) are a chronic inflammatory disorders with increasing global incidence. Synbiotic, which is two-point approach carrying probiotic and prebiotic components in mitigating inflammation IBD, thought to be pragmatic owing the synergistic outcomes. In this study, impacts of dietary supplementation Bacillus coagulans MTCC5856 spores (B. coagulans) whole plant sugar cane fibre (PSCF) was assessed using murine model IBD. Eight-week-old C57BL/6 mice were fed normal...
In this study, host-associated molecular markers and bacterial 16S rRNA gene community analysis using high-throughput sequencing were used to identify the sources of fecal pollution in environmental waters Brisbane, Australia. A total 92 composite wastewater samples collected from different host groups (cat, cattle, dog, horse, human, kangaroo), 18 water six sites (BR1 BR6) along Brisbane River Queensland, Bacterial communities fecal, wastewater, river sequenced. Water also tested for...
A multi-omics approach was applied to an urban river system (the Brisbane River (BR), Queensland, Australia) in order investigate surface water quality and characterize the bacterial population with respect contaminants. To do this, metagenomic amplicon-sequencing using Illumina next-generation sequencing (NGS) of V5-V6 hypervariable regions 16S rRNA gene untargeted community metabolomics gas chromatography coupled mass spectrometry (GC-MS) were utilized. The data, combination fecal...
Distribution of the microbiota varies according to location in gastrointestinal (GI) tract. Thus, dysbiosis during aging may not be limited faecal and extend other parts GI tract, especially cecum colon. Lactobacillus acidophilus DDS-1, a probiotic strain, has been shown modulate its associated metabolic phenotype mice. In present study, we investigated effect L. DDS-1 supplementation on caecal- mucosal-associated microbiota, short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs) immunological profiles young...
Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) are persistent synthetic contaminants that pervasive in the environment. Toxicity resulting from elevated PFAS concentrations wildlife has been studied, yet evidence of their accumulation, developmental toxicity maternal offloading egg-laying species is limited. Here we show freshwater short-necked turtles (Emydura macquarii macquarii) exposed to biological impact on oviducal eggs. Total were determined serum adult females harvested eggs collected...
Agricultural systems are increasingly impacted by micro- and nanoplastic (MNP) pollution raising concerns for food safety security. To understand the scale of problem develop mitigation strategies, there is a need to characterise effects impacts MNP. Here, we discuss main MNP entry pathways into human chain their effects/impact on feed sources, identifying major research gaps hindering robust risk assessments pollution. We identified emerging current analytical methods facilitate closing...
Standard raw material test methods such as the ISO 11024 are focused on identification of lavender oil and not actual class/quality oil. However, quality has a significant effect its price at market. As such, there is need for tests to identify only type but quality. This paper describes two approaches rapidly identifying classifying First, method was evaluated in order determine suitability assess due targeted simplistic approach, it potential miss classify Second, utilizing data generated...
Considering the short shelf-life of certain food products such as red meat, there is a need for rapid and cost-effective methods pathogen detection. Routine testing in laboratories mostly relies on conventional microbiological which involve use multiple selective culture media long incubation periods, often taking up to 7 days confirmed identifications. The current study investigated application omics-based approaches, proteomics using matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization...
