Published: August 2022

Microbial infections and antibiotic resistance are two of the most serious threats to society's health today. Millions of people die each year as a result of microbial infections. In 2020, the COVID-19 pandemic caused by viral infections was responsible for the highest amount of all deaths that year. Existing antimicrobial drugs have become less effective, if not ineffective, as a result of the emergence of resistance. Several antibiotic resistance-fighting strategies have been proposed in recent years. One strategy proposed to achieve this objective has been to use combination therapy which appears to restore the desired antimicrobial activity. Several medicinal plants have demonstrated therapeutic effects against pathogens that cause human infections due to their phytochemicals constituents which have been elucidated to act as antimicrobial agents. This chapter focuses on phytochemicals as antimicrobial agents, giving information about infectious diseases and the pathobiology of these diseases. Also, the mechanisms of antimicrobial activity of phytochemical were discussed.
The Use of Plant Extracts as Potential Cancer Agents
Authors: Akman Gizem
Published: August 2022

The number of people with cancer and death rates are constantly increasing in the world. Although surgery, radiotherapy, and chemotherapy are still the most preferred methods, they have inadequacies, limited efficacy, and side effects. Therefore, development of new treatment methods has gained importance. Natural products were used for medical and therapeutic purposes in ancient times and are still used today. While some naturally derived molecules have already been shown to be effective against cancer, studies are ongoing for many natural molecules as cancer therapeutics. There are still many plant species and compounds whose effectiveness has not yet been discovered in the world. Therefore, identifying potential natural compounds that can be used in cancer treatment, demonstrating their effects on different types of cancer, and elucidating their mechanisms of action will lead to the discovery of new natural compound-derived drugs and overcome the existing difficulties of cancer.

Authors: Satpathy Raghunath , Acharya Sonali
Published: August 2022

Phytochemicals are recently gaining major attention for their therapeutic uses against several pathogenic viruses. Hence, searching for novel anti-viral molecules from plant sources is desirable as it is having fewer side effects. The mangrove plants are considered as an excellent source of phytomedicine due to production of several classes of phytochemicals. However, fewer studies have been conducted regarding the extraction of the potential anti-viral compounds from mangrove sources. In this chapter, an overview of isolation, extraction, and qualitative estimation of phytochemicals from the mangrove plants have been described. The major representative mangrove plant and its extracts that have shown potential anti-viral activity have been documented. Moreover, this chapter highlights the research-based analysis of potential anti-viral compounds from the plants in the mangrove ecosystem.

Published: August 2022

Essential oils are terpinoids and their oxygenated derivatives, which are widely used for antimicrobial, fungicidal, antiparasitical, insecticidal uses. They are aromatic, hydrophobic, and volatile in nature and frequently used in medicinal and cosmetic industries. Especially nowadays, volatile oils have a significant role in pharmaceutical, sanitary, cosmetic, agricultural, and food industries. Various conventional and modern methods of extraction of volatile oil are available. Volatile oil can play an important role in minimization of microbial load at primary stage and/or to prevent the growth of the microorganisms during various stages of product management. However, there is still the need more emphasis on research regarding EO.
In Search of a Remedy for Disruptions
Authors: Harison Elad
Published: August 2022

This chapter assesses the effects of worldwide supply chain disruptions, focusing on the role of the U.S. monetary policy as a catalyst that contributed to the shift of consumer demand from its pre-COVID-19 equilibrium. It analyses how stimulus payments and quantitative easing facilitated labour shortages in supply chain operations and how the growing demand increased the magnitude of shortages, followed by a bullwhip effect in orders from retailers. The study argues that the economic equilibrium between supply and demand for goods that has been greatly affected by the outbreak of COVID-19 has also been affected by substantial monetary changes that have further increased the scope of supply chain disruptions due to their inflationary effects.
Supply Chain Disruptions and the Effects on Price Stability
Authors: Ekici Oya
Published: August 2022

The widespread impact of price instability issues in the world has originated in global financial problems for more than three decades, and the effect of wars on the price changes remained mostly local or regional. But today, the impact of price instabilities rooted in supply chain bottlenecks is broader and more persistent in nature. With this changing price instability structure, analyzing the interdependence in production among the countries and exploring their effect on countries' inflation levels has become crucial. With this motivation, the chapter examines these relations by the BVAR model. The interdependence of countries' own purchasing managers' index, representing the supply chain disruptions, and their impulse on the producer price index, representing the inflation, are captured by the BVARs. The chapter focuses on the cases of a group of specific economies and chooses three countries: Germany, the United States, and Turkey. The findings remark that these countries' inflation levels are associated with their major trading partners' supply chain disruptions.
Sustainability Model for Solid Waste Management to Support the Global Economy
Authors: Gören Sami
Published: August 2022

Extravagancy is the key point of inflation. We consume more than necessary; we generate waste without any responsibility. Expanded consumption and depletion of resources are becoming more serious than ever. As the world population and standard of living are increasing, the amount of solid waste is also increasing. Not only the quantity but also the types of the wastes increase and become difficult to recycle due to composite wastes. With the aim of preserving the environment, this chapter will introduce the sustainability model to support the global economy. Waste management and recycling technologies, which effectively turn waste into resources, will be a great tool, especially in rapidly developing nations. The following should be a Motto in life: “the practice of treasuring and using all things as long as possible.” While economies continue to grow, this motto spirit restrained the generation of waste and motivated the development of technology for reuse, recycling, and effective use through heat recovery for energy.

Published: August 2022

The tectonic evolution of the Labrador-Baffin Seaway began with Early Cretaceous extension between Greenland and North America, resulting in the development of basins infilled with nonmarine and shallow-marine clastic strata. The Late Cretaceous was a time of
continued rifting and local subsidence, with deposition of widespread deeper water marine mud and localized sand deposits. Seafloor spreading began in the south in the Latest Cretaceous and propagated throughout the seaway by the Early Paleocene. Regional seafloor spreading coincided with the onset
of significant volcanism in the Davis Strait to central West Greenland region, as well as a regional regression. A change in the spreading direction around the Paleocene- Eocene boundary, was accompanied by strike-slip motion in the Davis Strait and Baffin Bay, deformation and basin inversion, and
development of regional unconformities. After seafloor spreading ceased in the late Eocene, the seaway was filled by upper Paleogene to Recent sediments, with clinoform progradation building the modern-day shelves.

Published: August 2022

The problem of urban soil contamination with heavy metals due to rapid urbanization and industrialization has been a major concern in recent years. A university can be considered as a product of industrialization and urbanization which is associated with different activities that may induce heavy metals pollution into the environment. Therefore, this research work assessed the contamination level of chromium (Cr), copper (Cu), lead (Pb), zinc (Zn) and manganese (Mn) in surface soils of Afe-Babalola university (ABUAD) using various indices. Soil samples were taken from ten (10) different functional sites in the university. These samples were taken to the laboratory and analyzed for chromium (Cr), copper (Cu), lead (Pb), zinc (Zn) and manganese (Mn) using standard method. The mean concentrations of copper (Cu), chromium (Cr) and lead (Pb) were up to 0.75, 0.66 and 0.36 mg/g respectively, while manganese (Mn) and zinc (Zn) were 1.37 and 0.49 mg/g respectively. The average    concentration of manganese (Mn) was comparable to its corresponding natural background value, but the average concentration of chromium (Cr), copper (Cu), zinc (Zn) and lead (Pb) were higher. They were approximately of the ratio 1:7, 1:2, 1:3 and 1:2 respectively compared to their corresponding natural background value. The multivariate statistical analyses indicated that vehicles, power generating sets, petrol station, machine workshops, production plants and emissions from outdoor roasted food spots were the major sources of heavy metals contamination on the universitys’ soil. The results from contamination indices and assessment showed that the contamination level of soils within the university can generally be classified as moderately contaminated. Therefore, periodic assessment of the sources and associated ecological risks of the heavy metals is highly recommended. This is to enable decision-makers to effectively manage the environment in the manner that will preserve public and ecosystem health.

Published: August 2022

This experiment was conducted to determine the advantages of introducing modern innovative approaches to dairy herd management based on the study and implementation of the methodological of International Committee for Animal Recording (ICAR). This research shows the main directions for introduction to new breeding and the technological model of interaction with breeding farms for breeding dairy cattle. This interaction occurs through the services provision for breeding farms, the control-assistant and expert-boniter services, as well as laboratories for selection control of milk quality and genetic control. The tasks of the control-assistant service included participation in the control milking of cows and individual milk samples picking from each cow and its delivery to the laboratory in a chilled form. Using as the example dairy herd of the black and white breed by studying the dynamics of somatic cells has been showing the effectiveness of different methods for assessing the quality of milk. Implementation of the milk quality regular monitoring during 1-2 months allows bringing the main parameters of milk quality in line with the requirements of national and international ICAR standards. The cow's conformation assessment by animals' linear assessment allows revealing the bull’s prepotent abilities and choosing the right strategy for improving the cow's conformation in the herd. Genetic well-being assessment of cows makes it possible to exclude unwanted individuals with genetic abnormalities and use only healthy animals in breeding. The research purpose was studying the possibility of applying the ICAR method in Russian breeding livestock to improve the dairy herd management system. The research results showed that Implementation of individual veterinary measures for two months allowed reducing the average somatic cell count by 1.85 times and reaching the level recommended by ICAR. The spread of individual indicators also significantly decreased. Therefore, Using the individual monitoring of dairy raw materials quality assessment makes it possible to study the influence of para-typical (climatic) factors on the content of dairy components, as well as to stabilize the quality parameters in terms of the level of somatic cells not higher than 200 thousand cells/cm3.
Keywords: Breeding, Dairy cattle breeding, Dairy herd, Genetic resources, Milk quality.

Long-range transport of Asian dust to the Arctic: identification of transport pathways, evolution of aerosol optical properties, and impact assessment on surface albedo changes
Authors: Zhao Xiaoxi , Huang Kan , Fu Joshua S. , Abdullaev Sabur F.
Published: August 2022

Abstract. Airborne dust is one of the most important natural aerosols; it has various
environmental impacts on air quality, ocean fertilization, and the global
climate change. Asian dust, representing one of the major dust sources in
the world, has been widely studied due to its long-range transport
capability. However, its transport to the Arctic has been less investigated.
In this study, two typical transport routes were identified based on the
recorded dust events in China during 2011–2015. Accordingly, two specific
Asian dust long-range transport events were selected and compared, i.e., one
observed at Barrow, Alaska (traveled mostly over lands within 6–7 d), and
the other one observed at Alert, Canada (traveled mostly over oceans within
7–8 d). The transport routes of the two dust events had been
cross-validated by using air mass trajectory modeling, meteorology
reanalysis data, ground-based aerosol columnar and profiling observations,
and spaceborne remote sensing. It was found that different transport routes
to the Arctic had divergent effects on the evolution of aerosol properties,
revealing different mixing extents between dust, anthropogenic particles,
smoke, and sea salts. Based on the Snow, Ice, and Aerosol Radiative (SNICAR) model, the
albedo simulation indicated that dust and elemental carbon together reduced
the surface albedo by 0.35 % to 2.63 % compared to the pure snow
condition. This study implied that the dust long-range transport from China to the
Arctic was ubiquitous and may be a potential contributor to the Arctic
regional climate.
Attenuation of beta radiation in granular matrices: implications for trapped-charge dating
Authors: Cunningham Alastair C. , Buylaert Jan-Pieter , Murray Andrew S.
Published: August 2022

Abstract. Mineral grains within sediment or rock absorb a radiation
dose from the decay of radionuclides in the host matrix. For the beta dose
component, the estimated dose rate must be adjusted for the attenuation of
beta particles within the mineral grains. Standard calculations, originally
designed for thermoluminescence dating of pottery, assume that the grain is
embedded in a homogenous medium. However, most current applications of
trapped-charge dating concern sand- or silt-sized dosimeters embedded in
granular sediment. In such cases, the radionuclide sources are not
homogeneous but are localised in discrete grains or held on grain surfaces. We show here that the mean dose rate to dosimeter grains in a granular matrix is dependent on the grain-size distributions of the source grains and of the bulk sediment, in addition to the grain size of the dosimeters. We further argue that U and Th sources are likely to be held primarily on grain surfaces, which causes the dose rate to dosimeter grains to be significantly higher than for sources distributed uniformly throughout grains. For a typical well-sorted medium sand, the beta dose rates derived from surface U and Th sources are higher by ∼ 20 % and ∼ 30 %, respectively, compared to a homogenous distribution of sources. We account for these effects using an expanded model of beta attenuation – including the effect of moisture – and validate the model against Monte Carlo radiation transport simulations within a geometry of packed spheres.

Endophytes from medicinal plants are a significant source of various novel biologically active secondary metabolites. Endophytic fungi are a group of fungi that colonize the internal part of the plants without causing any immediate harmful effects. Our study mainly focuses on the isolation and identification of endophytic fungi from the medicinal plant Boerhaavia diffusa Linn belonging to the family Nyctaginaceae. Penicillium sp., a fungal endophyte isolated from Boerhaavia diffusa L. leaves for their bioactive potential. The fungal culture was further grown and extracted by various solvents such as dichloromethane (DCM), butanol and methanol. Different crude extracts were used to study their phytochemical composition, total phenolic content, 1,1-Diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) radical scavenging activity and fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) analysis. The present study reveals that phytochemical screening of different fungal crude extracts indicates the presence of phenol, flavonoids, saponins, tannin, and terpenoids. Dichloromethane crude extract exhibited the highest total phenolic content of 14.4±0.018mg of GAE/g of extract and DPPH scavenging activity of 96% when compared to other solvent extracts. FTIR analysis revealed various functional groups of the compounds present in the extracts. The results indicated that the endophytic fungi Penicillium sp. isolated from medicinal plant Boerhaavia diffusa L. could be a significant source of bioactive compounds.

Published: August 2022

Gold (I) sulphide is the inorganic compound with the formula Au2 S. It is the principal sulphide of gold. Itdecomposes to gold metal and elemental sulphur, illustrating the nobility of gold. Recovering gold fromsulphide refractory gold ore has been an important guarantee for the sustainable development of goldindustry, while there are many challenges in the treatment of sulphide refractory gold ore, such asenvironmental pollution and low gold recovery. In this study we aimed at separating gold sulphide fromBanded Magnetite Quartzite (BMQ) of Goa. The BMQ sample wasdried, powdered, concentrated by panningmethod and subjected to magnetic separation using neodymium magnet and sieved into different fractionswith the sieve size of 250, 150, 106, 53 Î¼m. Powdered sample was tested for presence of gold sulphide byICP-AES, SEM-EDX, CHNOS Analysis methods.

Menstruation and menstrual activities are still subjected to a slew of social, cultural, and religious constraints,which pose a significant impediment to proper menstrual hygiene management. In addition, women inrural areas either do not have access to sanitary products or do not know anything about the differentforms to maintain menstrual hygiene. A descriptive and cross-sectional study of adolescent girls in thechosen districts was conducted. The sampling technique was used to choose 788 women who had menstrualflow for at least three consecutive menstrual cycles as a sample. There are 435 non-tribal women and 353tribal women among the population, and data is being collected. After that, the information is presented ina comparative analytical format. Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) version 20.0 was used toanalyze the data, including descriptive and inferential statistics. Result: determinants of the significantdifferences of access to menstrual material between the Non-tribal & Tribal community. There is a significantdifference in the access to menstrual material between non-tribal and tribal communities. Public awarenessshould be raised to promote reusable sanitary products or natural sanitary products made from eco-friendlynatural materials to enjoy fearless, shameless and affordable menstruation.

Rice-associated plant growth-promoting bacteria (PGPB) have a major role in promoting growth anddevelopment using a variety of mechanisms. In this study, we isolated bacteria from drought stressedfields to check their effects on rice plants. Bacterial strains were selectively isolated based on their growthon selective media and different biochemical tests. These bacteria were identified by partial sequencing of16s rDNA. We have found that two isolates, Brevibacterium sp. (B4) and Priestiaaryabhattai (B16) (MZ081422.1),have a magnificent role in the growth of rice plants compared to mock-treated plants after drought stresstreatment.

In an in vitro study, effect of different weed leaf leachates on average seed germination and root length intwo varieties of rice, viz., Nati Mansuri and Sonam was estimated at different leachate concentrations. Theselected 12weed species included Caesuliaaxillaris, Chenopodium album, Commelinabenghalensis, Cyperusdifformis, Cyperus rotundus, Cyperus squarrosus, Echinochloa crus-galli, Eclipta alba, Lathyrus aphaca, Melilotusindica, Parthenium hysterophorus and Panicum frumentaceae. The leaf leachates of nearly all the test weedswere found to have inhibitory effects on percent germination, shoot length and root length of both the testcultivars of rice at different concentrations. The inhibitory response was found to be positively correlatedwith the leachate concentration and in most cases of test cultivar-weed interactions, statistically significantdecrease in percent germination, shoot length and root length was observed at 15% treatment level in alltreatments.
