LEED Certification in Building Energy Efficiency: A Review of Its Performance Efficacy and Global Applicability
Authors: Leite Ribeiro Laura Michelle , Piccinini Scolaro Taylana , Ghisi Enedir
Published: February 2025

This review aimed to critically assess the effectiveness of LEED certification in enhancing the energy performance of buildings. This study discusses the background to the creation of LEED, the LEED energy performance assessment, the consumption of certified buildings compared to non-certified buildings, the consumption predicted by simulations versus actual consumption, and the influence of considering thermal insulation in the envelope on the effectiveness of the certification. The review highlights that LEED was developed in the United States and bases its energy performance assessment on ASHRAE 90.1. Findings highlight significant energy performance variability among LEED-certified buildings due to factors like geographic location, building type, and discrepancies between predicted and actual energy consumption, often influenced by occupancy patterns and user behaviour. While higher certification levels generally correlate with better energy performance, lower levels frequently underperform. Additionally, in hot climates, thermal insulation strategies following ASHRAE guidelines may inadvertently increase cooling demands in buildings with high internal loads, hindering heat dissipation. In conclusion, although LEED represents a significant milestone in advancing sustainable construction practices, its energy performance framework requires refinement to better account for diverse climatic and cultural contexts, thereby optimising its contribution to energy efficiency.
Reducing Greenhouse Gas Emissions from Arable Land and Grassland: The Case for Organic Farming—A Critical Review
Authors: Gerke Jörg
Published: February 2025

The contribution of agriculture to the emission of the main greenhouse gases, CO2, N2O, and CH4, is estimated to be between 25 and more than 50% of the total emissions worldwide. These data indicate that in developed, industrialized countries, severe policies might be successful in strongly reducing greenhouse gas emissions by focusing on agriculture. However, despite its central importance, agriculture is not at the center of political debate or meaningful emission-reducing policies. In this scientific review, current knowledge of the factors affecting the emission of greenhouse gases, including carbon dioxide, nitrous oxide, and methane, from agriculture is critically discussed. The pathways through which the reduction in greenhouse gas emissions from agriculture can be achieved are evaluated. For this purpose, we list the main factors contributing to the emission of greenhouse gases from agriculture and evaluate the roles of agricultural intensification, industrialization, and organic farming in greenhouse gas emissions. If the present trajectory of agricultural development continues, industrialized, intensive conventional agriculture will become an increasing source of greenhouse gas emissions worldwide. Also, the increasing quantitative relevance of energy plants in agriculture will contribute to increasing greenhouse gas emissions. Organic agriculture may offer an alternative means to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by applying the following central boundary conditions: a. the omission of mineral nitrogen fertilizers produced by the Haber–Bosch process, b. the combination of crop and livestock production, and c. the application of nutrient recycling at a regional level. This kind of organic agriculture may combine relatively high and sustainable crop yields with low emissions of greenhouse gases. Industrialized agriculture, whether in its conventional or even its industrialized organic form, is an important source of greenhouse gases with increasing emissions worldwide. Under conditions of agricultural industrialization, industrialized organic agriculture will also contribute to increasing greenhouse gas emissions. At present, there are no political attempts in the countries of the industrialized Western hemisphere to address agriculture-related contributions to greenhouse gas emissions.
The Role of Urban Digital Intelligence in Fostering Sustainable Collaborative Innovation: An Analysis of Spillover Effects
Authors: You Chu , Luo Qingfeng , Liu Wei
Published: February 2025

Urban digital intelligence transformation (DIT) has emerged as a key driver of sustainable development in the era of rapid technological advancement. This study utilized the spatial Durbin model with difference-in-differences (SDM-DID) to explore the intrinsic relationship between DIT and intercity collaborative innovation. The findings indicate that DIT significantly enhances collaborative innovation locally and in other cities. DIT accelerates the movement of R&D talent, capital, and knowledge while driving collaborative innovation across local and neighboring cities by enhancing market potential. Collaborations between enterprises and universities exhibit stronger direct and indirect positive effects, collectively driving the development of sustainable intercity collaborative innovation. Additionally, the study finds that the impact of DIT on substantial innovation is greater than that of non-substantial innovation. Furthermore, the digital transformation of large and central cities has a stronger promotional effect on both local and neighbor collaborative innovation, fostering the sustainable development of intercity innovation cooperation. These results deepen our understanding of the relationship between DIT and intercity collaborative innovation and provide policy insights for enhancing intercity collaboration and promoting regional sustainable development.
Robust Emergency Frequency Control with Wind Turbines via Decoupling Security Constraints and Modeling Uncertainties
Authors: Xu Guanghu , Feng Shuaishuai , Ke Deping , Yang Huanhuan , Liao Siyang , Xu Jian
Published: February 2025

In this paper, controllable wind turbines are employed for emergency frequency control to reduce cost. However, controllable wind turbines introduce significant modeling uncertainties in the form of uncertain environmental factors and model aggregation into the system. To pre-generate feasible emergency control strategies at the lowest cost, a robust optimization model is constructed for a potentially serious fault in power systems, which is a mixed-integer nonlinear robust programming issue with non-analytical calculation (for post-event system frequency). Therefore, this study proposes to first quantify the impact of modeling uncertainties on wind turbine regulation and find the most unfavorable uncertain scenarios for emergency frequency control. Then, based on the above-filtered scenarios, the original problem is transformed into mixed-integer nonlinear programming. A novel simplified algorithm is proposed to solve the above problem efficiently. Finally, a case study is conducted on a real regional power system. It is proved effective in reducing costs by regulating wind turbines for emergency control, and the proposed method is effective in dealing with the impact of modeling uncertainties. Also, high solving efficiency (12 s in case study) meets the demand for efficient online pre-decision-making for emergency control. The research is meaningful in the promotion of secure access to power systems for sustainable power.

Authors: Dieguez-Santana Karel , Sarduy-Pereira Liliana , Ruiz-Reyes Enrique , Sablón Cossío Neyfe
Published: February 2025

The agri-food supply chain (AFSC) is vital to ensure global food security. It faces significant environmental and economic challenges, requiring the adoption of circular economy (CE) principles to enhance sustainability and resource efficiency. This article presents a bibliometric analysis of 162 Web of Science (WoS) and Scopus documents from 2017 to 2024, focusing on contributions from leading authors and countries regarding CE application in AFSCs. Using bibliometrix R-Tool Version 4.3.2 and VOSviewer 1.6.20, we identified key topics, such as “Transforming Agriculture through Innovation and Sustainability in the Supply Chain” and “Implementation of a Circular Economy Framework in Agricultural Supply Chains”. We also pinpointed outdated and oversaturated research topics while proposing emerging subjects based on multiple analyses of the scientific literature corpus (title, abstract, and keywords). Finally, the combined bibliometric, network, and content analysis provided a comprehensive “big picture” of CE application in the AFSC, guiding future projects and research.
Using Timber in Mid-Rise and Tall Buildings to Construct Our Cities: A Science Mapping Study
Authors: Wenzel Alexander , Guindos Pablo , Carpio Manuel
Published: February 2025

The increase in population and urban migration has incentivized the construction of mid-rise and tall buildings. Despite the incremental rise in vertical construction, there are still investigation gaps related to high-rise buildings, such as carbon emissions and the use of low-carbon materials in tall structures. Timber presents a potential sustainable solution for mid-rise and tall buildings. The history of topics in timber building investigations began with the material characterization of innovation in construction technologies such as cross-laminated timber (CLT) and practical topics like construction collaboration, sustainability, engineering, and construction science. To identify potential topics and understand the research history of mid- and high-rise timber buildings, a bibliometric analysis is proposed. Therefore, this article aims to perform a bibliometric analysis with a science mapping technique to categorize and analyze the evolution of mid- and high-rise timber building research topics and identify the most relevant trends and current challenges. A co-occurrence keyword analysis was performed with the software SciMAT to analyze the evolution and actual trends of mid-rise and tall timber buildings. The results show an evolution in the investigation topics from timber frame elements to mass timber and CLT for high-rise buildings, which was expected due to the higher structural capacity of the mass timber product. Surprisingly, sustainability topics such as carbon emission and life-cycle analysis (LCA) were transversal in all periods with concrete as a recurrent keyword in the analysis. More specialized topics such as robustness, disproportioned collapse, perceptions, and attitude were observed in the final periods. Research projections indicate that for mid-rise and tall timber buildings, the environmental potential has to be aligned with the structural feasibility and perception of the construction’s actors and society to improve the carbon emissions reduction and support the increment of the population in an urban context.
The Impact of Highly Pathogenic Avian Influenza H5N1 in the United States: A Scoping Review of Past Detections and Present Outbreaks
Authors: Mena Alejandro , von Fricken Michael E. , Anderson Benjamin D.
Published: February 2025

Highly Pathogenic Avian Influenza H5N1 (HPAI H5N1) was first detected in chickens in Scottland in 1959 and has since circulated globally, causing regular outbreaks among different animal species, as well as incidental infections in humans. In this scoping review, the epidemiology and impact of HPAI H5N1 among migratory birds, poultry, and cattle in the United States were analyzed, with a particular focus on outbreaks since January 2022. Following PRISMA guidelines, a total of 27 articles were identified for this review. Publicly available data and reports from the USDA and CDC were also evaluated and summarized. The identified articles primarily included epidemiological studies of detections in wild birds, mammals, and case reports on H5N1 and transmission dynamics among cattle, with a notable absence of poultry-focused reports. Wild birds, especially migratory species, have played an important role in virus dissemination. Studies among mammals, including seals, bears, and domestic cats, along with the emerging outbreak among cattle, highlight the virus’s ability to adapt to diverse hosts, with the possibility of mammal-to-mammal transmission. Despite the low number of human infections, the zoonotic risk of the disease and the possibility of a human outbreak remain significant. The complexity and risks associated with the virus, in comparison with the limited current scientific studies in the United States, demand further investigations to mitigate its impact on animals, ecosystems, and human health.

Authors: Yi Jingxuan , Luo Huaye , Zhang Kang , Lv Lilei , Li Siqi , Jiang Yifeng , Zhou Yanjun , Wei Zuzhang , Liu Changlong
Published: February 2025

Background: Porcine epidemic diarrhea virus (PEDV) is a significant pathogen in swine, causing substantial economic losses worldwide. Despite the availability of existing vaccines, there is a critical need for novel vaccine platforms that ensure robust protection while maintaining safety. Methods: A recombinant replication-deficient vesicular stomatitis virus (VSV) vaccine, rVSV∆G-PEDV-S, was developed by pseudotyping the virus with the spike (S) protein from PEDV. To achieve high-titer pseudotyped rVSV particles, a stable Huh7 cell line expressing the PEDV S protein (Huh7-PEDV-S) was generated. The infectivity and replication capacity of rVSV∆G-PEDV-S were evaluated in PEDV-susceptible cell lines and Huh7-PEDV-S cells. The vaccine’s immunogenicity and safety were assessed in BALB/c mice vaccinated intramuscularly with rVSV∆G-PEDV-S. Results: The pseudotyped rVSV∆G-PEDV-S demonstrated infectivity in PEDV-susceptible cell lines and robust replication in Huh7-PEDV-S cells, while remaining replication-deficient in non-complementary cells. In vaccinated BALB/c mice, the vaccine elicited a strong humoral immune response, characterized by high levels of PEDV S1-specific IgG and neutralizing antibodies. No adverse effects, including weight loss or behavioral changes, were observed in the vaccinated mice, confirming the vaccine’s safety. Conclusions: The rVSV∆G-PEDV-S vaccine represents a promising platform for controlling PEDV outbreaks. Its replication-deficient design and pseudotyping methodology ensure safety and adaptability to emerging PEDV variants. These findings highlight the potential of rVSV∆G-PEDV-S as a safe and effective solution to the ongoing challenges posed by PEDV.

Authors: Ochieng Candy , Petrucka Pammla , Mutwiri George , Szafron Michael
Published: February 2025

The World Health Organization (WHO) defines vaccine hesitancy as reluctance or refusal to vaccinate despite availability. Contributing factors in visible minority populations include vaccine safety, effectiveness, mistrust, socioeconomic characteristics, vaccine development, information circulation, knowledge, perceived risk of COVID-19, and perceived benefit. Objectives: This study aimed to examine vaccine hesitancy in visible minority populations across Canadian regions. Methods: A survey was conducted among visible minority populations in Canadian regions, using 21 questions from the available literature via the Delphi method. The Canadian Hub for Applied and Social Research (CHASR) administered the survey to individuals 18 years or older who resided in Canada at the time of the survey and identified as visible minorities such as Asian, Black, and Latin American. After recruiting 511 participants, data analysis used Chi-square tests of association and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) to identify regional differences in vaccine choices, side effects, information sources, and reasons for vaccination. A weighted analysis extended the results to represent the visible minorities across provinces. Results: Higher rates of Pfizer were administered to participants in Ontario (73%), the Prairies (72%), British Columbia (71%), and Quebec (70%). British Columbia had the highest Moderna rate (59%). The most common side effect was pain at the injection site in Quebec (62%), Ontario (62%), BC (62%), and in the Atlantic (61%). Healthcare professionals and government sources were the most trusted information sources, with healthcare professionals trusted particularly in the Prairies (70%) and government sources similarly trusted in Quebec (65%) and Ontario (65%). In the Atlantic, 86% of refusals were due to side effects and 69% were due to prior negative vaccine experiences. Conclusions: Leveraging healthcare professionals’ trust, community engagement, and flexible policies can help policymakers improve pandemic preparedness and boost vaccine acceptance.

Authors: Setiarno Putera Muhammad Luthfi , Rafik Patrajaya  , Setiarno
Published: February 2025

Introduction/Main Objectives: The separation between spouses has been rising noticeably in recent years in Palangka Raya, particularly during the COVID-19 outbreak. Background Problems: An analysis of time-to-event on those separations will be undertaken quantitatively using survival analysis by comparing the results yielded by Cox proportional hazards (PH) regression and non-parametric Survival Support Vector Machine (SUR-SVM). Novelty: This work suggests a feature selection method that looks for influencing elements related to the c-index by employing backward elimination. Research Methods: This study's data came from Indonesia's Supreme Court webpage, including a database of separation verdicts from the Palangka Raya Religious Court, spanning from April 2020 to March 2021. The response variables were the time-to-separation (marriage length until separation) (t) and the censored state of the occurrence (?). Finding/Results: Based on SUR-SVM, the factors contributing the most to the separation are the absence of children, unsteady employment of appellants, and finance motive as the primary reason. In terms of concordance index and Akaike Information Criterion (AIC), the SUR-SVM outperformed the Cox proportional hazard model. These values of SUR-SVM were 59.24 and 1899.78, respectively. SUR-SVM correctly classified 59.24% of separations based on the chronological order of events.

Published: February 2025

Introduction/Main Objectives: One of the main attributes of hotel selection and customer satisfaction is its location. Background Problems: Strategic location leads to higher demand for accommodation. Accommodation demand is reflected in hotel occupancy levels, which indicate the percentage of reserved rooms at a specific period. Novelty: This study aims to investigate the effect of spatial location on hotel occupancy rates by analyzing data collected in online hotel reservation applications. A study related to the effects of location and hotel occupancy has never been conducted in Indonesia. Research Methods: We use data from hotels located in the province of Yogyakarta, which contains 245 hotels spread over three regencies/cities, namely Yogyakarta City, Sleman Regency, and Bantul Regency. We conducted a spatial regression analysis, namely the Spatial Error Model (SEM), with a spatial weight matrix using a radius of 3.2 km. Finding/Results:  We found that spatial locations affect the occupancy rates of hotels based on the online hotel reservation application that we observed. These spatial locations include the distance from the hotel to the airport, the distance from the hotel to the bus stop, and the number of nearby restaurants, offices, and hotels.

Authors:   Federal state budgetary scientific institution «All-Russian scientific research Institute «Raduga», Kolomna, Russia, Mishchenko Nikolay Andreevich
Published: February 2025

It is noted that the consequences of the impact of running systems of machine and tractor units on the soil are one of the main technological problems in agriculture and crop production. Compaction of soil adversely affects its water, air and nutrient regimes. To solve these problems, systems of multifunctional units for agriculture have been proposed, the development of which is based on the concept of bridge agriculture. The purpose of this study is to analyze technical options for implementing bridge farming technology and substantiating the prototype of bridge unit based on the Kuban central-pivot and frontal movement sprinkler machines to solve the problems of sustainable agriculture, set out in the development strategy of the Russian Federation, the Doctrine of Food Security of the country, including for implementing the conditions for replacing imports of reclamation equipment. The design of the bridge unit and the prototype scheme are given in the article. It is noted that such a unit can perform almost all technological operations. In the future, this will reduce the mechanical compacting effect on the soil, increase crop yield, labor productivity, improve the environmental situation and move to complete mechanization and automation of irrigated agriculture.
To the question of using the NDVI spectral index to assess land erosion of the irrigation and drainage system
Authors:   Federal state budgetary scientific institution «All-Russian scientific research Institute «Raduga», Kolomna, Russia, Zverkov Mikhail Sergeevich , Smelova Svetlana Stanislavovna
Published: February 2025

The article describes an example of analysis of NDVI data series of spring wheat crops (Triticum aestivum L.) in an eroded area of the reclamation system. The study uses orthophotomap from the site. The results of the work allow us to conclude that it is possible to use a spectral vegetation index to decipher erosional areas. It should be borne in mind that when ripening crops of spring wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) NDVI values decrease. It is noted that against the background of the development of weeds, NDVI has a weak predictive ability to decipher eroded soil areas (there is practically no statistical difference, correlation coefficients with the main data series are 0.808... 0.809). The accuracy of the NDVI decoding of the eroded area for late phenological phases of culture development is increased if weeds grow in the eroded area and weeds are absent in crop crops.

Published: February 2025

The article discusses the problems and contradictions of the legal approaches of economic entities in relation to the operation and organization of life cycles of hydraulic structures of the water management complex of the Russian Federation. Very complex legal issues of ensuring the safety of structures are raised, related to their features, determined by the duality of the natural conditions of the existence of structures uniting the water and land elements. Options are offered to regulate the relations of various kinds of owners of hydraulic structures pursuing various goals in the use of these hazardous facilities. The need to improve the legal framework and law enforcement practice in relation to hydraulic structures is justified.
Scientific and analytical review of methods for crop yield forecasting
Authors:   Federal state budgetary scientific institution «All-Russian scientific research Institute «Raduga», Kolomna, Russia, Zverkov Mikhail Sergeevich , Smelova Svetlana Stanislavovna
Published: February 2025

The purpose of this work was to perform a scientific and analytical review of methods for predicting crop yields. It is noted that the use of Earth remote sensing data allows predicting crop yields. Various vegetation indices are widely used in the literature for this. Currently, there is no unified model for predicting yield and gross crop harvest using Earth remote sensing data. For these purposes, for example, peak values of the NDVI vegetation indices can be used. It is noted that the use of geographic information tools to identify areas occupied by major food crops, the assessment of productive markers of their development, taking into account meteorological conditions, determine the possibility of using space information to predict their yield and gross harvest, as well as the profitability of agricultural production. Retrospective accumulation of these data will also make it possible to build local economic trends, both for specific cultures and for industry efficiency.

Authors:   Federal state budgetary scientific institution «All-Russian scientific research Institute «Raduga», Kolomna, Russia, Travkin Vladislav Sergeevich , Lebedev Denis Andreevich ,   Russian State Agrarian University – Moscow Timiryazev Agricultural Academy, Moscow, Russia
Published: February 2025

The article discusses the existing technical and technological solutions developed to increase the coefficient of land use by watering the sown area of the corners when using central-pivot sprinkler machines. Based on the data of the analysis of technical solutions, the advantages and disadvantages of these solutions were identified, and a new one was proposed in the form of an automatic semi-stationary system. It is noted that the introduction of the development makes it possible to solve the problem with incomplete zones during the operation of central-pivot sprinkler machines, increase the economic efficiency of land reclamation and reduce labor costs when watering agricultural areas up to 100 hectares, which also makes it possible to replace hose-reel machines with a more convenient automatic stationary system.

Pesantren education is a form of traditional education in Indonesia. Although along with the renewal and modernization of education in every pesantren education institution, the traditional values ??remain evident. Among other things, the pattern of relationships between students and teachers or more precisely students and religious teachers or to the kiai. Teaching methods and equipment have also become increasingly sophisticated, but some have remained behind. In recent times we have seen a lot of ideological content which has also undergone a very varied development, starting from various kinds of Islamic revivalism which then influenced political actions and movements such as "terrorism", which has developed in many pesantren. This is a form of reasonableness as a dialectical law between traditional education when it comes to modern developments which are then considered to be damaging to morals, beliefs, and humanity from the point of understanding of religion.

Published: February 2025

Looking at the typology of pesantren, curriculum structure and direction of pesantren education, the model for strengthening nationalism is built through three stages, namely:
First, input gain. This stage consists of at least three stages, namely: Stage one, scientific transmission which is carried out in three ways: (a) Teaching selected yellow books. (b) Ijab qabul guardian of students. (c) The concept of “barakah”. Stage two, transmission of activity. This stage is implemented in certain activity events. Stage three, religious transmission, such as worship (ubudiyyah), transactional practices (mu'amalah), politics (siyasa).
Second, strengthening the process of nationalism in Islamic boarding schools. The strengthening process is in the form of grounding the values of tolerance (at-tasammuh), the values of balance (at-tawazun), and the values of moderation (tawasuth). This is reflected in the contents of the curriculum being taught, such as the yellow book. Debate over issues with nuances of difference (khilafiyah) with a variety of reasons makes the students understand more that differences are real.
Third, strengthening the output of nationalism in Islamic boarding schools is at least a strengthening model by maintaining and overseeing Islamic boarding school graduates through communication and interaction with the kyai and their alma mater. So that pesantren graduates become alumni and individuals who are Islamic, humane, tolerant, civilized, and loving.
Keywords: pesantren, nationalism, strengthening input, process, output.

Onore, duello e duellanti in Spagna, 1870-1920
Authors: Sánchez Raquel
Published: February 2025

La sussistenza del duello per tutto l’Ottocento e i primi decenni del Novecento fu giustificata
all’epoca attraverso una rilettura del concetto di onore, ora identificato con la reputazione
delle élite maschili. Il duello divenne l’esternazione della capacità dell’individuo
di difendere la propria immagine pubblica. In Spagna, questo processo fu particolarmente
evidente nei settori della politica, del giornalismo e dell’esercito.
Omicidi, testimoni e letterati nella Sicilia unitaria
Authors: Palumbo Berardino
Published: February 2025

In questo scritto, partendo da un episodio poco noto della vita di Luigi Capuana (il suo coinvolgimento nelle dinamiche politiche del Calatino e il suo esser stato testimone di un omicidio, insieme politico e rituale), sono interessato ad individuare la linea che, nel passaggio
tra XIX e XX secolo, separava il dicibile e l’indicibile nella nascente sfera pubblica nazionale a riguardo dei rapporti tra religione, violenza, politica e stato. A partire da uno sguardo fondato su una prolungata esperienze etnografica nell’area, mi interrogo sul posizionamento di Capuana e di altri importanti intellettuali siciliani (Verga e Pitré) nei confronti di aspetti “intimi” della vita sociale, politica e devozionale dell’Isola (la conflittualità politica locale, le
sue connessioni con la sfera devozionale e la diffusione della violenza fisica). Dal confronto tra le scelte narrative operate quando ci si rivolge ad un pubblico nazionale e il reale coinvolgimento di Capuana e Pitré in quelle dinamiche, sembrano emergere tattiche (o forse anche
strategie) di occultamento di posture, sentimenti e pratiche ritenute poco consone per l’auto rappresentazione di “moderni” cittadini del neonato stato nazionale.

for change detection. They involve barren land, fellow land, forest, agricultural land, sand bar, built-up land, water bodies and river. Cropland and
buildup area are the main feature of change detection during all the selected year. Study shows that build up area increase tremendously. But
cropland and forest area decrease rapidly. Result shows that due to increase in population and desire of more development result turning of villages
into town and urban into metropolitan with full of concreate forest. Surface water also decrease due to climate change resultant of LULC. Here
cropland has change from 31.31% to 29.32%, barren lang change from 6.42% to 7.22%, build-up area change from 6.26% to 12.49%, forest change
from 18.60% to 12.46%, water bodies change from 11.75% to 8.64%, fellow land change form 20.68% to 14.48% and sand bars change from
4.98% to 15.39%.

Proximate composition, macro mineral and heavy metal of samples were determined using standard methods. Moisture, ash, crude lipid , crude
fibre except protein, total carbohydrate and energy content of the seed was significantly ( p < 0.05) higher than the peel on dry weight basis .
Potassium ( 136.16mg/ kg ; 67.19mg/ kg ) had the highest concentration in both samples while sodium had the lowest concentration ( 1.24mg/ kg ;
0.32mg/ kg) . Sodium and potassium except calcium, magnesium and phosphorus were significantly higher (p<0.05) in the seed than in the peel .
The K to Na ratio was greater than 1. Copper, iron, manganese except chromium in the seed were significantly higher (p<0.05) than in the peel.
Comparing the levels of essential heavy metals and non-essential heavy metals in the seed and peel samples to the FAO/WHO maximum
permissible values, copper, iron, cadmium, and zinc were found to be lower but manganese, chromium and lead were found to be higher. Our study
revealed that P.americana seed is richer in ash, crude lipid, crude fibre than the peel while the peel is richer in crude protein, total carbohydrate and
energy than the peel but both are rich in K, Ca, Mg, P,Cu,Fe,Mn,Cr , and zinc but low in Na and Cd . The study scientifically justifies that the seed
and peel are possess nutritional potential.

This study explores the practical application of Bernoulli's equation, a cornerstone of fluid dynamics that describes the conservation of energy in a
flowing, incompressible fluid. The experiment utilized a venturi apparatus equipped with a series of manometers and a hypodermic probe, enabling
precise measurement of pressure and velocity variations across sections of a duct with variable cross-sectional areas. By applying Bernoulli's
equation, we analyzed the inverse relationship between velocity and pressure within a streamline, confirming that as the fluid velocity increased
due to constrictions in the duct, there was a corresponding drop in pressure, consistent with theoretical predictions of energy conservation.
However, the accuracy of the results was influenced by experimental factors, including the presence of air bubbles within the manometer tubes,
which introduced potential sources of error in pressure readings. Despite these limitations, the experiment underscores the relevance of Bernoulli's
principle in engineering applications, such as fluid transport systems and aerodynamic design, providing valuable insights into the behavior of
incompressible fluids under varying flow conditions.

Background and Aims: Lower abdominal surgeries are often associated with significant postoperative pain requiring effective management.
Ultrasound-guided Transversus Abdominis Plane (TAP) block using levobupivacaine provides effective analgesia but with limited duration. This
study aimed to compare dexmedetomidine and buprenorphine as adjuvants to levobupivacaine in TAP blocks for enhanced analgesic efficacy and
duration. This prospective, randomized study included 60 ASA I-II patients undergoing lower abdomina Methods: l surgeries under spinal
anesthesia. Patients were randomized into two groups: Group LB received 20 ml of 0.25% levobupivacaine with 150 mcg buprenorphine, and
Group LD received 20 ml of 0.25% levobupivacaine with 0.5 mcg/kg dexmedetomidine. Postoperative pain (VAS scores at rest and movement),
time to first rescue analgesia, total fentanyl consumption, adverse effects, and patient satisfaction were assessed over 24 hours. Ethical approval and
informed consent were obtained. Group LD demonstrated a significantly prolonged time to first rescue a Results: nalgesia (749.17 ± 68.55 min vs.
692.67 ± 45.02 min; p < 0.01) and consistently lower VAS scores compared to Group LB. Total fentanyl consumption was lower in Group LD (56.7
± 17.29 µg vs. 65 ± 23.3 µg; p = 0.123). Adverse effects, including nausea (6.7% vs. 13.3%) and sedation (13.3% vs. 20%), were fewer in Group LD,
which also had higher patient satisfaction (83.33% extremely satisfied vs. 66.7%). Dexmedetomidine as Conclusion: an adjuvant to
levobupivacaine provides superior analgesia, prolonged pain relief, reduced opioid consumption, and fewer side effects, making it a preferable
choice over buprenorphine for lower abdominal surgeries.

Thyroid swelling is also called as Goitre. It can occur both in males and females ,with preponderance in the later . Most of the thyroid swellings are
benign ,but nearly 5 % can be malignant .The main aim of a surgeon is to rule out malignancy and decide whether to manage medically or go
forward with surgery. This article can allow us to have an insight of various thyroid diseases and their management protocols. Results: In our study
Multinodular goitre was commonly observed in females. Multinodular goitre is commonly observed in 3rd decade of life. Conclusion: In most of
the cases one can diagnose number of nodules clinically. However ultrasonography has an important role in detecting actual number of nodules.
This information is very essential for further investigations and necessary management. Pre operative evaluation with ultrasound and FNAC can
minimize the extent of surgery to be performed. Hemi thyroidectomy, subtotal and near total thyroidectomy are the safe surgical procedures than
total thyroidectomy to prevent the permanent post surgical complications. Malignancy can still come as a surprise on postoperative
histopathological examination which is dealt by completion thyroidectomy and post op irradiation.

Iron deficiency anemia (IDA) is a significant nutritional issue worldwide, particularly affecting over half of India's population and up to 70% of
nursing students. This study aimed to evaluate the efficacy of beetroot juice in improving serum iron levels among nursing students with IDA in
Jalandhar Cantt. Utilizing a quasi-experimental pre-test post-test design, 46 nursing students with serum iron under 60 mcg/dl were randomly
selected. Participants in the experimental group consumed 100 ml of beetroot juice daily for 60 days, while the control group received no
intervention. Pretest and post-test data were collected to measure the outcomes. Results indicated a significant difference in serum iron between the
groups, showcasing notable improvements in the experimental group. The study concludes that beetroot juice effectively alleviates serum iron
levels of iron deficiency anemia in nursing students.
