Targeting NAPE-PLD: assessing its potential in the fight against malaria by Goh, Xiu Ling

“…Docking analysis indicated stronger LEI-401 binding affinity for CEPT than P. falciparum NAPE-PLD proteins, supporting CEPT’s involvement in lipid metabolism as a viable target. These findings suggest that while NAPE-PLD may not be a primary target of LEI-401, CEPT offers potential as an alternate target. …”

Enhanced mechanical and failure characteristic of woven carbon fiber reinforced thermoplastic laminates using core-shell particles by Sharma, Anurag, Joshi, Sunil Chandrakant

“…Furthermore, microscope images of fractured surfaces confirmed that CSPs delayed the matrix crack propagation and had better interfacial interaction with the fiber and matrix. These findings can improve the mechanical properties of thermoplastic composites and would assist designers in using them in specific elastic tailoring structures.…”

Is saying sorry good enough? Examining the typologies of apology in organisational response during health crises by Loh, Jun Qi, Peh, Marilyn Hui-Ying, Zelani, Nur Hanisah, Rodriguez, Sarah Ann

“…Therefore, crisis communication professionals who wish to benefit from the use of the apology tool would need to utilise apology strategically, in order to achieve the desired stakeholders’ behaviour. From the findings, the Perception-Behavioural Framework of Crisis Response was refined, and the opportunities for future academic research, as well as implications for practitioners are also discussed.…”

Determination of the life span of inflammatory dendritic cells by Tay, Yong Long

“…More importantly, we demonstrated the presence of Plet-1+ DCs in brain of P.berghei infected mice which open up a new disease model for the characterization of Plet-1+ DCs. In conclusion, our findings on the turnover rate of Plet-1+ DC can be used in future studies to maintain the ablation of this population for its characterization during steady state and DSS-induced inflammation.…”

Frame competition and climate change communication by Ong, Adeline Huilin, Neo, Eileen Hui Yan, Lim, Nigel Wen Bin, Loh, Clara Yi Jin

“…In general, complementary frames produced classic framing effects, while competitive frames produced middle ground positions, which is consistent with current literature. Findings suggest the limited ability of communication frames in competitive environments to effectively engage and drive change beyond the attitudinal level. …”

Anger, physical activity and depression in patients with coronary heart disease : a dominance and moderation analysis by Ng, Emil Jin Huai

“…However at higher levels of physical activity, the magnitude of the simple effect of anger expression out on depression is greatly reduced. The findings seem to partially support the psychodynamic theory of inward directed anger leading to depression, and also suggest that increasing physical activity may be helpful in reducing the likelihood of depressive outcomes in cardiac patients by moderating the relationship between the propensity to express anger and depression.…”

Vascular tissue engineering: investigation of endothelial cell function by Heng, Jolyn Xiuhui

“…In this study, defined polycaprolactone (PCL) nanofibers of different fiber diameters were treated with NaOH and adsorbed with gelatin to investigate cell attachment efficiency and growth rate. The findings revealed that gelatin adsorbed surfaces does not favour EC proliferation well and led to performing the next modification which is 1 M NaOH treatment for 4 h, 16 h, and 24 h for the PCL surfaces. 1 M NaOH treatment was first performed to improve the hydrophilicity of PCL. …”

The relationship between self-perceived burden, depression, medication adherence, and health-related quality of life in coronary heart disease patients by Lim, Benjamin Chee Chong

“…Additionally, medication adherence did not mediate the effect of (1) self-perceived burden on physical HRQOL, and (2) self-perceived burden on social HRQOL. These findings suggested that self-perceived burden and depression may be two vital cardiovascular risk factors health-care practitioners could consider during early patient screenings to enhance existing cardiac programmes, which in turn improve cardiac patients’ prognosis and overall quality of life (QOL).…”

The effects of Instagram fitspiration imagery on unhealthy eating behavior, body dissatisfaction and self-esteem by Quek, Zhuo En

“…More specifically, participants with lower self-esteem ate lesser snacks in both fitspiration conditions compared to the control condition. Findings suggest that individuals with low self-esteem tend to engage in negative upward social comparisons with healthier individuals in fitspiration images, and therefore compensated perceived health differences by reducing caloric intake. …”
