Potential of environmental, social, and governance investment as a hedge in Indonesia during COVID-19 pandemic by Robiyanto Robiyanto, Frieska Dwi Agustina, Intiyas Utami, Budi Frensidy, Andrian Dolfriandra Huruta

“…The ESG indices used were the ESG Leader index and the SRI-KEHATI index, and the conventional indices used were the Composite Stock Price Index (JCI), which were compared against overall market return and the LQ45 index containing 45 stocks actively traded in Indonesia. Using Generalized Autoregressive Conditional Heteroskedasticity (GARCH) and Quantile Regression (QREG) techniques, the study found that ESG investments cannot act as hedge or safe haven in IDX. …”

A novel anti-epileptogenesis strategy of temporal lobe epilepsy based on nitric oxide donor by Xian-Hui Zhu, Ya-Ping Zhou, Qiao Zhang, Ming-Yi Zhu, Xiao-Wei Song, Jun Li, Jiang Chen, Yun Shi, Kang-Jian Sun, Yong-Jie Zhang, Jing Zhang, Tian Xia, Bao-Sheng Huang, Fan Meng, Qi-Gang Zhou

“…Especially, very few studies have focused on the role of neuronal nitric oxide synthase (nNOS, encoded by Nos1) containing hilar interneurons in TLE. In the present study, Nos1 conditional knockout mice were constructed, and we found that selective deletion of Nos1 in hilar interneurons rather than dentate granular cells (DGCs) triggered epileptogenesis. …”

De Novo Transcriptome Sequencing of Olea europaea L. to Identify Genes Involved in the Development of the Pollen Tube by Domenico Iaria, Adriana Chiappetta, Innocenzo Muzzalupo

“…In order to determine compatibility relationships, using next-generation sequencing techniques and a de novo transcriptome assembly strategy, we show that pollen tubes from different olive plants, grown in vitro in a medium containing its own pistil and in combination pollen/pistil from self-sterile and self-fertile cultivars, have a distinct gene expression profile and many of the differentially expressed sequences between the samples fall within gene families involved in the development of the pollen tube, such as lipase, carboxylesterase, pectinesterase, pectin methylesterase, and callose synthase. …”
