Kamuni Lake, situated in Shamshabad, Rangareddy, is among the largest lakes in the region, surrounded by numerous small-scale industries and urban settlements. The lake is significantly affected by the disposal of garbage from nearby communities and industrial waste, which has a detrimental impact on its natural ecosystem. Over a one-year period from 2022 to 2023, a comprehensive study was conducted to assess the water quality of Kamuni Lake. Monthly water samples were collected and analyzed for various physical and chemical characteristics, with seasonal variations documented across three distinct seasons. The results were compared against standard values to evaluate pollution levels at different stations. The analysis revealed substantial changes in various physico-chemical parameters across all three seasons, primarily attributed to wastewater discharge and human activities. Station V, located near the waste discharge area of the urban settlement, exhibited higher values of several physico-chemical parameters compared to standard values. The current conditions suggest that Kamuni Lake risks losing its biological activity if pollution continues unabated.

The application of biofertilizers in pulse crop agriculture has garnered significant attention as an eco-friendly and sustainable alternative to conventional chemical fertilizers. This comprehensive review aims to elucidate the progression of biofertilizer technologies from traditional single-strain inoculants to contemporary microbiome-based strategies. Pulse crops, such as beans, lentils, chickpeas, and peas, are pivotal in global agriculture due to their high protein content, nitrogen-fixing ability, and role in improving soil health. However, optimizing their productivity necessitates effective nutrient management, where biofertilizers play a crucial role. Initially, biofertilizer development concentrated on single-strain inoculants, predominantly Rhizobium species, which establish symbiotic relationships with leguminous plants to enhance nitrogen fixation and improve crop yields. Despite their proven benefits, single-strain inoculants often exhibit variable performance influenced by soil conditions, climatic factors, and interactions with indigenous soil microbiota. This variability highlights the need for more consistent and resilient biofertilizer solutions. Recent advances in microbiome research have paved the way for the development of microbiome-based biofertilizers. These advanced formulations leverage the synergistic interactions among diverse microbial communities, including bacteria, fungi, and archaea, to provide a more comprehensive and stable enhancement of soil fertility and plant growth. Microbiome-based approaches recognize the complexity of plant-microbe-soil interactions, offering improved nutrient cycling, increased plant stress resilience, and better adaptation to various environmental conditions. The benefits of microbiome-based biofertilizers are manifold, encompassing enhanced nutrient availability, improved plant health, and sustainable soil management. However, their development and application pose several challenges, including understanding the intricate dynamics of microbiome interactions, developing precise formulation and application methods, and navigating regulatory landscapes. Addressing these challenges requires multidisciplinary research and innovation, integrating genomics, metagenomics, and advanced data analytics to unravel the complexities of soil microbiomes. This includes the potential for personalized biofertilizer formulations tailored to specific soil and crop conditions, enhancing the efficacy and scalability of biofertilizer technologies.

The present study aimed to investigate the phytochemical profile and antimicrobial efficacy of Premna tomentosa bark extracts using various solvents, including methanol, chloroform, ethyl acetate, and petroleum ether. Qualitative phytochemical screening revealed that methanol was the most effective solvent, extracting a broad range of compounds such as alkaloids, flavonoids, phenols, tannins, glycosides, cardiac glycosides, coumarins, quinones, and resins. Chloroform also demonstrated significant efficacy in extracting alkaloids and flavonoids. Quantitative analysis showed that methanol extracts contained the highest concentrations of alkaloids (480 mg/g), flavonoids (510 mg/g), phenols (428 mg/g), and tannins (340 mg/g), indicating its superior extraction capabilities. The antibacterial activity was assessed using the paper disc diffusion method against four bacterial strains: Pseudomonas fluorescens, Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus aureus, and Bacillus subtilis. The methanol extract exhibited the most potent antibacterial activity, with inhibition zones ranging from 4 mm to 7 mm. Chloroform and ethyl acetate extracts also showed significant inhibition, while petroleum ether was the least effective. In the antifungal assays, the methanol extract again demonstrated the highest efficacy, particularly against Fusarium oxysporum NCIM1008, Sclerotium rolfsii NCIM 1084, and Phytophthora infestans MTCC 8707. The inhibition percentages were highest with methanol (50% against Fusarium oxysporum and Phytophthora infestans), followed closely by chloroform (52% against Phytophthora infestans), and moderate inhibition was observed with ethyl acetate and petroleum ether. These results indicate that Premna tomentosa bark extracts, particularly those obtained using methanol, possess significant antibacterial and antifungal activities, potentially due to the high concentration of bioactive compounds extracted. This study supports the use of Premna tomentosa as a source of natural antimicrobial agents and underscores the importance of solvent selection in phytochemical extraction.

Abstract: Malaria is one of life’s threatening disease that contributed significantly to morbidity and mortality in Nigeria. The variability effects of meteorological factors between the Northern and Southern region of Nigeria on malaria transmission remain unclear and not well researched. This research was aimed at comparing the non-linear effects of seasonal, trend and meteorological variables on monthly malaria cases in Kano and Lagos State of Nigeria. The monthly malaria cases for age group above 5-year for Kano and Lagos State were obtained from DHIS for the period of January, 2016 to December, 2022. Also, the predictors/meteorological variables (Rainfall, Relative Humidity, Minimum Temperature and Maximum Temperature) were obtained from Nigeria Meteorological Agent. Generalized Additive Model was fitted using Negative Binomial to apply smooth function to estimate and compare the effects of the selected predictors on the malaria transmission in Kano and Lagos States.  Rainfall and Maximum temperature were found not significant in explaining the effect of malaria transmission. Malaria transmission was found to be seasonal and varying in Kano State with highest transmission between September and October while the seasonal effect was reduced to linear in Lagos State. The long term trend had a significant increasing effect on malaria transmission in Kano Sate compared to non-significant effect in Lagos State. The effect of Relative Humidity was reduced to linear and increasing in the both State. Paying attention to the variability in the influence of season, trend and meteorological variables on malaria transmission will enhance respective State Government to develop an early warning and awareness that will help in controlling the malaria outbreak in their State.

Published: October 2024

The interplay between financial management and safety optimization is critical in contractor operations, especially in high-risk industries such as construction and oil and gas. This paper proposes a strategic framework for balancing financial investments with safety outcomes, emphasizing the need for a cost-effective approach to Health, Safety, and Environment (HSE) management in contractor operations. Drawing on Adeoye’s extensive experience in contractor HSE management, the proposed framework aims to align financial priorities with safety objectives, ensuring that cost reductions do not compromise safety standards. The framework focuses on the integration of financial planning with safety strategies, enabling contractors to allocate resources efficiently while maintaining high safety performance. By employing risk-based budgeting and predictive analytics, the model allows contractors to identify areas where financial investments can yield the most significant safety benefits. Additionally, it encourages the adoption of safety technologies and training programs that offer long-term cost savings by reducing accidents and operational disruptions. Adeoye’s approach also highlights the importance of a safety culture in contractor operations, where financial decisions are made with a deep understanding of the potential safety implications. This culture fosters collaboration between financial managers and HSE teams, ensuring that both safety and cost-effectiveness are prioritized. The paper presents case studies that illustrate the successful implementation of this framework, showcasing improvements in safety outcomes and financial performance. These examples demonstrate how contractors can achieve a balance between minimizing costs and enhancing safety, leading to sustainable operations. Ultimately, this paper argues that financial management and safety optimization are not mutually exclusive, but rather complementary components of a successful contractor operation. By adopting this strategic approach, contractors can improve safety performance while maintaining cost efficiency, driving long-term operational success.

Os antimicrobianos são fármacos derivados de fungos, leveduras ou bactérias, que inibem o crescimento de microrganismos. Desde seu surgimento, a resistência a esses fármacos tem aumentado, acompanhada pelo desenvolvimento de defesas bacterianas. Este trabalho analisou 90 prescrições de antibióticos em uma farmácia de Mesquita - RJ, entre janeiro e junho de 2024, com o objetivo de verificar a conformidade as resoluções vigentes Lei 13021/ 2014 e a RDC nº 20/2011, os antibióticos mais vendidos e as associações mais frequentes com outros medicamentos. Neste estudo, observou-se que a Amoxicilina foi o antibiótico mais prescrito (38,88%), seguidos pelas cefalosporinas de primeira geração, como a Cefalexina, as quinolonas, como o Ciprofloxacino e a Azitromicina. Esses fármacos costumam ser frequentemente associados aos anti-inflamatórios não esteroides (AINEs), sendo a dipirona, o ibuprofeno e a nimesulida as opções mais escolhidas pelos médicos. Os resultados mostraram, ainda, que 94,44% das prescrições incluíam o nome do paciente, 87,77% a data e 100% apresentavam carimbo e assinatura do médico. No entanto, 24,44% eram ilegíveis e 48,88% não especificavam a via de administração. Apesar de atender alguns requisitos básicos, os prescritores falharam em não se preocupar com a legibilidade das prescrições e não fornecer informações essenciais como a forma do paciente fazer uso da medicação. Essa conduta demonstra uma formação distanciada da importância sobre a segurança do paciente. Portanto, é crucial que os conselhos profissionais orientem os profissionais da saúde para melhorar a qualidade das prescrições.

Purpose: Speech-language pathologists (SLPs) are essential in evaluating tongue structure and function. Due to limited psychometrically validated assessment tools, evidence-based practitioners often rely on clinical expertise to inform their assessment and clinical decision-making. This study aimed to explore how SLPs assess tongue structure and function in children aged 1 to 10 years suspected of having a tongue-tie by examining global practice patterns. Methods: A total of 194 practicing, English-speaking SLPs participated in a global online survey. The survey gathered information on participant demographics, classification tools used, and methods for assessing tongue structure and function, oral motor function and speech production in children with suspected tongue-tie. Results: Participants reported using various measures, including case history, oral examination, and clinical assessment. These measures encompassed evaluation of tongue structure, oral motor tasks and functional measures, including observation of speech, feeding, and swallowing. Notably, 40% of participants indicated they did not use any published assessment tool. While over 90% of participants evaluated feeding skills through parent questionnaires, only 55% observed feeding during mealtimes. Additionally, SLPs in the United States reported using different classification tools for tongue-tie compared to their counterparts in Australia, the United Kingdom and other countries. Conclusion: There is a global trend of limited use of published tongue-tie assessment tools in clinical practice. Most clinicians rely on various measures to evaluate tongue structure and function in children with suspected tongue-tie. These findings highlight the need for a specialized assessment tool that is designed and validated for evaluating tongue structure and function in children beyond infancy.
