The main purpose of the study is to identify the thin-bed reservoirs of the Eastern Folded Belt (Sylhet and Bandarban) and characterize them with diligence. A detailed qualitative and quantitative analysis has been carried out. It is based on thin-section petrographic analyses of sandstone samples. These samples are from the reservoir horizons of the Sylhet region and Bandarban region fields. The purpose of this analysis is to characterize the textural and mineralogical properties. Additionally, it aims to evaluate the post-depositional diagenetic changes. The results obtained from the field and laboratory analysis are studied extensively to characterize the thin-bed reservoirs. Samples from the Sylhet area are medium-coarse-grained, fairly sorted, tight packing, submature-mature sublithic characteristics. Contrarily, samples from the Bandarban region are mature-submature sublithic arenites, which are fine-medium-grained, moderately well-sorted, and moderately loosely packed. Despite the similarity of the detrital elements (quartz, feldspar, lithic grains, mica, etc.) in the two areas, silica cementation is more frequent in Sylhet region samples than early carbonate cementation in Bandarban region samples. Comparatively speaking, the sediments in the Sylhet region are more compact than those in the Bandarban region. The most important outcome of this study is that the thin bed of the unconventional reservoir and the conventional reservoir are in close proximity. The Thin-bed reservoir units of the Eastern Folded Belt are found to be medium to fine-grained and well sorted, with frequent alteration of sand-shale with the prevalence of parallel bedded sandstone. Average porosity is 4% to 12%, and pore spaces are interconnected. So, the permeability rate is good enough to flow the hydrocarbon through these pore spaces. Most importantly, the thin bed and tight reservoir (average porosity 4% to 12%, but pore spaces are not interconnected) are not more prominent than 1 meter or 2 meters. Subsequently, though the vertical thickness is not so high, they keep up a momentous tirelessness of horizontal progression. On the contrary, at whatever point it comes to a conventional reservoir, the vertical thickness is higher than that of the unconventional reservoir. But their lateral persistence is not as long as unconventional ones.
Role of Biotechnology and Genetic Engineering in Bioremediation of Cadmium Pollution
Authors: Kumar A. , Mukherjee G. , Gupta S.
Published: June 2024

Cadmium (Cd) is ubiquitous and an unessential trace element existing in the environment. Anthropogenic activities and applications of synthetic phosphate fertilizers greatly enhance the concentration of Cadmium in the environment, which proves to be carcinogenic. The long-term effects of heavy metals contamination on plants and animals have recently become a major public health concern. Thanks to the application of science and technology, new environmental initiatives can have a lower environmental impact significantly. The role of microbes is very well known and must be considered as potential pollutant removers. Microbial flora can remove heavy metals and oil from contaminated soil and water. In comparison to conventional techniques, bioremediation itself proved to be a more potent technique because the established mechanisms render it ineffective. Biotechnological advancements are inherently harmful to the environment because they have the potential to reduce metal pollution. Pollutants in the environment can be effectively removed using bioremediation. Both native and introduced species can thrive in a microorganism-friendly environment.

Authors: Valencia Alfredo Ricardo Zárate , Rosales Antonio Alfonso Rodríguez
Published: June 2024

Over time, predictive models tend to become more accurate but also more complex, thus achieving better predictive accuracy. When the data is improved by increasing its quantity and availability, the models are also better, which implies that the data must be processed to filter and adapt it for initial analysis and then modeling. This work aims to apply the Random Forest model to predict PM10 particles. For this purpose, data were obtained from environmental monitoring stations in Mexico City, which operates 29 stations of which 12 belong to the State of Mexico. The pollutants analyzed were CO carbon monoxide, NO nitrogen oxide, and PM10 particulate matter equal to or less than 10 μg.m-3, NOx nitrogen oxide, NO2 nitrogen dioxide, SO2 sulfur dioxide, O3 ozone, and PM2.5 particulate matter equal to or less than 2.5 μg.m-3. The result was that when calculating the certainty of our model, we have a value of 80.40% when calculating the deviation from the mean, using 15 reference variables.

Authors: Ryntathiang Sukjailin , Sachu Meguovilie , Syiem Mayashree B.
Published: June 2024

This study aimed to check how herbicide 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2,4-D) affects the production of EPS and its composition, growth, and biomass, as well as morphology in a cyanobacterial species isolated from a rice field in Meghalaya, India. Compared to the control cells, the growth of the organism measured in terms of chlorophyll concentration increased after being exposed to 10 and 20 ppm 2,4-D. However, cultures treated with 30 and 40 ppm experienced a decrease in their growth. Likewise, the biomass content of the organism experienced a minuscule increase in content upon exposure to 10 and 20 ppm 2,4-D but was compromised upon exposure to higher doses. When exposed to 10 ppm, the total EPS content, which includes the RPS and CPS content, showed a substantial increase. Maximum EPS production was seen at 20 ppm 2,4-D. However, exposure to 30 and 40 ppm 2,4-D, EPS production in the organism experienced a significant reduction, respectively. All components of EPS, such as uronic acid, neutral sugar, and proteins, individually showed an increase in 10 and 20 ppm 2, 4-D. A similar trend was seen in the organism’s bio-flocculating activity, which increased when exposed to 10 and 20 ppm, respectively. However, this activity in cells exposed to 30 and 40 ppm 2,4-D was severely reduced. Not only the content of EPS but the rate of EPS production was also enhanced in lower concentrations of 2,4-D. Although exposure to 30 ppm 2,4-D, the rate of EPS production was not significantly compromised, 40 ppm exposure adversely affected the rate of EPS production. Furthermore, visualization using scanning electron microscopy revealed the morphological changes induced by the herbicide 2,4-D.

Authors: Majaty Salma El , Touzani Abdellatif , Kasseh Youssef
Published: June 2024

This article discusses the major challenges related to greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions in the electricity sector and their impact on global climate change. The electricity sector is responsible for about a quarter of total global GHG emissions. To address these challenges, Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) is used to measure the environmental impact of different energy sources and electricity generation and distribution processes. The circular economy is presented as a promising approach to reducing the carbon footprint of the electricity sector. By optimizing the use and value of materials throughout their life cycle, this approach contributes to waste minimization and resource efficiency. Morocco is committed to reducing its GHG emissions and has adopted policies and regulatory frameworks to combat climate change. This study aims to calculate the climate change impacts of electricity distribution phases by applying a life-cycle approach to the case of an electricity distribution company in Morocco. This assessment makes it possible to identify significant contributors from each area. In the context of this company, it is a question of demonstrating how the application of the principles of the circular economy concepts contributes to the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions, in particular, that of scope 3. This study may be useful for other similar companies.

Published: June 2024

The increased use of metallic nanoparticles has led to concern for environmental contamination and disruption in water quality. Therefore, effective screening of metallic nanoparticles is important for detecting metallic nanoparticles in aquatic environments. Biosensors offer several advantages, including high sensitivity to pollutants, short response time, energy efficiency, and low waste generation. In this study, a whole-cell biosensor was developed using microalga Chlorella vulgaris as a recognition element, and its fluorescence response was used as a measuring parameter for detecting the presence of titanium dioxide (TiO2) and silver (Ag) nanoparticles in water. The responses of C. vulgaris at the lag, exponential, and stationary phases to different concentrations of TiO2 and Ag nanoparticles were studied. The results showed that in TiO2 and Ag nanoparticles exposures, the highest fluorescence change (50-150%) was observed at the lag phase, whereas the lowest fluorescence change (40-75%) was observed at the stationary phase. A significant fluorescence change was observed in 15 min. The immobilized C. vulgaris under TiO2 and Ag nanoparticles exposures showed 30-180% higher fluorescence change than the negative control, indicating the potential of C. vulgaris as a biosensor for rapid detection of TiO2 and Ag nanoparticles in water. The mathematical modeling of the responses of C. vulgaris to TiO2 and Ag nanoparticles at 15 min of exposure with high R2 indicated that this biosensor is sensitive to the concentration tested (0.010–10.000 mg.L-1). Taken together, these results reveal that, for the first time, it is possible to detect TiO2 and Ag nanoparticles in water within a very short time using a microalgae-based biosensor. Moreover, no genetic engineering requirement makes this biosensor simple, economical, and free from the restriction on genetically modified microorganisms for environmental applications.

Published: June 2024

This study explores the electrochemical reduction of carbon dioxide (CO2) using tin (Sn) and zinc (Zn) catalyst-loaded gas diffusion electrodes (GDEs). The research explores the influence of electrolytic potential and catalyst loading on the efficiency of CO2 conversion to valuable chemicals, specifically formic acid and carbon monoxide. The best Sn loading for Sn-loaded GDEs, according to the morphological study, is 7 mg.cm-2, which results in higher current density (0.33 mA.cm-2) and current efficiency (36%). An electrolytic potential of -1.3 V Vs. Ag/AgCl is identified as optimal for Sn GDEs, offering a balance between high current efficiency (35%) and controlled current density. For Zn-loaded GDEs, an optimal loading of 5 mg.cm²- yields the highest current efficiency of 19.4% and a peak current density of 0.28 mA.cm²- at an electrolytic potential of -1.55 V Vs. Ag/AgCl, in addition to highlighting the crucial role that catalyst loading and electrolytic potential play in enhancing CO2 reduction efficiency, this research offers insightful information for environmentally friendly CO2 conversion technology.

Published: June 2024

Küreselleşme süreci, dünya genelinde ekonomik büyümeyi hızlandırırken aynı zamanda yeni risk ve zorlukları beraberinde getirmektedir. 2008 Finans Krizi ve COVID-19 krizi başta olmak üzere 21.yüzyıldaki küresel krizler, bu risklerin ve kırılganlıkların en somut örneklerini sunmaktadır. Küresel krizler; finansal dalgalanmalar, ekonomik durgunluklar ve tedarik zinciri bozulmaları gibi faktörlerle dünya ekonomisini sarsan karma olaylar bütünüdür. Krizlerin etkileri, ulusal ekonomilerden işletmelere ve bireylere kadar her düzeyde hissedilebilir. Yeni dönemde ulusal ekonomilerini veri ve bilgiyi derleme değerlendirme kapasitesine yönelik ekonomik istihbarat çalışmaları, krizlerin önlenmesi ve yönetilmesi açısından temel bir faktör olarak öne çıkmaktadır. Ekonomik istihbarat sistemi, bu süreçte krizlerin değerlendirilmesi ve yönetilmesine dair öngörüler sağlayarak, bu tür krizlerin etkilerinin azaltılmasında önemli bir rol oynamaktadır. Ekonomik istihbarat sistemi, kriz dönemlerinde ulusal ekonominin, güçlü ve zayıf yönlerini belirlemenin yanı sıra paydaşların ve politika yapıcıların, kriz yönetimi stratejileri oluşturmasına da yardımcı olmaktadır. Aynı zamanda, ekonomik krizlerin etkisini azaltmak ve ekonomik toparlanmayı hızlandırmak için politika önerileri sunma aşamasında da önemli bir rol ve fonksiyona sahiptir. Amaç: 2000-2022 döneminde G20 ülkelerinin (Avrupa Birliği üyeleri dahil) verileri incelenerek kurumsal ekonomik istihbarat sistemine sahip olan ve sahip olmayan ülkelerin, ekonomik büyüme performansını ve kriz dönemindeki makroekonomik yönetim stratejilerini incelemektir. Yöntem: 2000-2022 dönemi için G20 üyesi olan ülkelerin (Avrupa birliği üyeleri dahil) cari işlemler dengesi, dışa açıklık derecesi, kamu nihai tüketim oranı/GSYH, sabit sermaye oluşumu, tüketici enflasyonu gibi makroekonomik performans verileri kullanılarak oluşturulan grafiklerle karşılaştırmalı statik analiz gerçekleştirilmiştir. Bulgular: Kurumsal ekonomik istihbarat sistemine sahip olan ülkelerin, güçlü alanlarının sürdürülebilirliğini korurken, zayıf alanlarını belirleyip geliştirebildikleri tahmin edilmektedir. Buna karşılık, kurumsal ekonomik istihbarat sistemine sahip olmayan ülkelerin, güçlü ve zayıf yönlerini gerçekçi bir şekilde tespit etmekte zorluk yaşadığı, dolayısıyla bu alanların daha kırılgan hale gelme riskinin yüksek olduğu anlaşılmaktadır. Özgün Değer: Çalışma iyi tasarlanmış bir ekonomik istihbarat sisteminin, ulusal ekonomik istikrarın sağlanmasına ve uluslararası ekonomik ilişkilerin dinamiklerini anlamaya yönelik önemli bir rehber niteliği olduğunu göstermektedir.

Water gas: between the alternative and disappointment in the mid-nineteenth century
Authors: Barca-Salom Francesc X.
Published: June 2024

By the middle of the 19th century, gas lighting had reached a good level of implementation in some European countries. In France, lighting based on coal distillation had been implemented in many towns, resisting the emergence of other alternatives such as wood gas or resin gas. However, some drawbacks remained that led some inventors to make advances in obtaining hydrogen gas from water. The procedure was not unknown, but it had not gone beyond the laboratory phase. The transition to the industrial phase occurred in the 1850s with the work of some French inventors and with its subsequent application in some factories in this country. In this paper we study the advances and resistance that were generated in France in the development of water gas in those years. In addition, we delve into the repercussions that these new techniques had in Spain, either in the proposed applications or in those carried out.

Published: June 2024

The study investigates the influence of demographic factors on consumer perceptions of celebrity endorsements in the soft drink industry. Utilizing ANOVA analyses, the research examines the impact of age, gender, and occupation on consumption patterns, brand preferences, and attitudes towards celebrity endorsements. Findings indicate a significant association between age and soft drink consumption frequency, with younger demographics showing higher consumption rates. However, gender and occupation do not significantly affect brand selection or endorsement perceptions. Notably, consumers across diverse demographics exhibit similar levels of susceptibility to celebrity endorsements, suggesting a universal appeal transcending gender and occupation. Despite demographic variations in consumption habits, celebrity endorsements wield comparable influence across consumer segments. The abstract underscores the importance of celebrity endorsements in shaping consumer behaviour within the soft drink industry and highlights the need for tailored marketing strategies targeting specific age groups.

This research work aims to identify the origin, concept and scope of government compliance. It also seeks to locate the history of regulation of corporate and governmental conduct. Finally, an analysis of the various government compliance instruments introduced in the Mexican legal system is carried out. Based on the above, the conclusions obtained will be presented. This research work obtains its justification in the duty of vigilance in charge of every administrator as he is obliged to introduce measures aimed at preventing the risks to which his activity is exposed in order to avoid, control and, where appropriate, compensate for the damages perpetrated against human rights, fundamental freedoms, so it is not simply a matter of obtaining a compliant opinion but of actually preventing the generation of a risk and therefore avoiding damage and inspiring confidence by fostering a good organizational reputation. In its daily work, the Public Administration is exposed to a variety of risks, which means introducing a set of processes within the scope of its own structure to guarantee respect for behavioral rules. Government compliance encompasses the adoption of a series of provisions that impose respect for objectives of general interest that range from the fight against corruption, child labor, terrorism, environmental protection, etc. Government compliance, as a means of controlling the actions of public entities, imposes structural commitments on public administrators such as the establishment of a cartography of systemic risks, the implementation of a behavioral code, which is why they are mechanisms of obtaining results and satisfying the objectives set or that are inherent to their public function. It is then about assuming and respecting values aimed at preserving the state's heritage, its organizational reputation and thereby providing credibility to public institutions, whether in the face of those individuals, their associates or the national states with whom they have entered into or intend to formalize alliances.

Exploring the use of phytogenic components in plants is one of the ways to ensure safety in food and sustainable livestock production. This experiment was designed to investigate the sensory evaluation and fatty acid composition of broiler chickens fed diets containing Prosopis africana essential oil. A total of 540 – one- day- old broiler chicks (Arbo Acres) were randomly distributed into 6 treatments, each containing six replicates of 15 birds. Experimental diets were adequate in all nutrients (NRC, 1994). Birds in treatment one was fed basal diet without Prosopis africana oil, basal diet with antibiotic growth promoter (oxytetracycline at 2.5 g/kilogram) was fed to treatment two while treatment three, four, five and six were fed basal diet supplemented with 200 mg, 400 mg, 600 mg and 800 mg per kilogram respectively. Completely randomized design was used and the experiment lasted for 56 days. Feed and fresh water were offered ad libitum and other management practices were rigorously followed. Result revealed that the composition of total monosaturated fatty acid and total polyunsaturated fatty acid were significantly (P˂0.05) influenced by the treatments. Total saturated fatty acid (TSFA) levels decrease as the level of Prosopis africana oil increases across the treatments (P˂0.05). TSFA values were highest in treatment 1, intermediate in treatment 2 and lowest in treatment three through six. Omega 3: omega 6 fatty acid and artheriogenicity index were significantly (P˂0.05) different among the treatments. Prosopis africana oil also influenced color, flavor, tenderness, juiciness, texture, and general acceptability of broilers meat. It was concluded that the dietary supplementation of Prosopis africana oil has a number of phyto-constituents that can modify the fatty acid of meat, enhancing its quality, shelf life and sensory attributes. Without having a negative impact on the health of birds. It can be added to the diet of broiler chickens up to 800 mg per kilogram.

Published: June 2024

Background: The Imo State Specialist Hospital (IMSSH) commenced neurosurgical services in April 2021 and spine procedures in August 2021. The activities of the hospital with respect to surgical management of spine pathologies were audited. Aims: Our aims were to look at the pattern of spinal pathologies surgically managed in the hospital including their age and sex distribution, the pathologies and procedures performed as well as immediate post operative outcomes. Methods: The case files of all spine patients who had surgical procedures at IMSSH from August 2021 to April 2023 (21 months) were retrospectively reviewed. Results: Seventy-two spine patients had surgical procedures during the study period (an average of 3 – 4 spine procedures per month). The mean age of patients was 55.4±16.1 years with a male-to-female ratio of 7: 5. The mean age for male patients was 53.86±17.83 years while that of female patients was 57.5±13.2years. The peak age range at presentation was in the 7th (n=23, 31.9%) decade. The highest frequency of procedures was performed in the lumbar/ lumbosacral spine (56.9%), followed by cervical spine (29.1%), and thoracic/thoracolumbar spine (13.8%). Degenerative spine diseases (69.4%) accounted for the highest number of spine cases, followed by spinal trauma (20.8%) and Spinal tumours (6.9%). Mortality in the immediate post-operative period was 6.9% (n=5). Conclusion: The study showed a male preponderance for spinal surgeries among our spine patients, with most cases being of degenerative spine pathology. We hope this would be helpful in formulating policies for the growth of this new Neurosurgical Centre.

To overcome the disastrous effects on the environment and human health due to plastic pollution, bioplastic is one of the most innovative and prominent alternatives for petroleum-based plastics. Bioplastics from organic waste, agriculture waste, vegetable oil, fruit, and vegetable stach are sustainable at the same time biodegradable. The present investigation gives insight into the synthesis of biodegradable plastic from Musa acuminata banana peels as it contains polymer chains called amylose and amylopectin which bond together to form bioplastic and also aim to study its characterization using FTIR, antibacterial, biodegradability, water solubility, and moisture content tests. From the observation, we found that the prepared bioplastic film with the optimum amount of plasticizer shows water solubility of about 3.27% which makes it worth commercial viability. With 100% biodegradability of prepared bioplastic within 42 days. Natural ingredients like lemon, neem, and Aloe Vera were added to further enhance its properties with the aim of creating an affordable yet natural product. The biofilm with lemon showed significant results in all the tests resisting water, microbes, and moisture. Through the antimicrobial properties of the bioplastic, a wider yield in films, bags, and wrappers can be acknowledged to reduce the use of plastics further. We believe that our research will play a pivotal role in the ongoing transition towards sustainable clean solutions and rejuvenate a compelling case for the adoption of bioplastic films, promoting a greener and more responsible approach to jeopardize plastic.

Published: June 2024

The purpose of this article is to restore the changed image of the Aragaya Tombs by analyzing the construction method of the Haman Malisan Ancient Tombs and Nammunoi Ancient Tombs, the royal tombs of Aragaya.
The construction method of the silt was divided into three types by analyzing three methods: the anti-rock extraction method, the levee construction method, and the compartment construction method.
Type A is a type in which the anti-rock extraction method is usually used, and the levee construction method and the compartment construction method are not used. Type A is divided into Type A-1 and Type A-2 depending on the location of the tomb.
Type B was subdivided into Type B-1 and Type B-2 according to the degree of application of the levee construction method. The levee construction method is used on the outer edge of the levee, and the soil is built using the compartment construction method inside the levee.
In Type C, the use of soil construction method is reduced on the outer edge of the levee, but the compartmentalization construction method is still used.
Aragaya appears to be divided in the order of the head group according to the type of tombs.

Cleaner energy generation on light-duty off-road diesel engines is one of the objectives of this study, which utilizes renewable diethyl ether (DEE) as a replacement for diesel to minimize the reliance on fossil diesel fuel. In an air-cooled single-cylinder diesel engine, various DEE mixes of 5, 10, 15, 20 and 25% were attempted and evaluated under varying loads (0, 25, 50, 75 and 100%) in an effort to enhance the performance and emission characteristics of agriculture diesel engines and lower the environmental effect of harmful emissions. The injection pressure was optimized using computational fluid dynamics (CFD), and performance and emission outcomes were optimized through response surface methodology (RSM) techniques. The experimental results found that brake thermal efficiency and specific fuel consumption were enhanced for a higher proportion of DEE blends under increasing loads. In addition, increasing the engine load decreased CO emissions while increasing carbon dioxide (CO2), hydrocarbon (HC), and nitrogen oxide (NOx) emissions. Reduced CO, NOx, and HC emissions and increased CO2 were realized in the blended fuel samples compared to those of pure diesel fuel at increasing DEE percentages. In summary, the utilization of a 15% DEE blend and the optimization of the injection pressure to 210 bar resulted in a notable improvement of 10% in thermal efficiency and a decrease in emissions by 5% when compared to other parameters.
