Conserving India's Natural Heritage: A Legal Analysis of Biodiversity Protection and Management
Authors: Goswami Rekha
Published: July 2024

India is one of the world's 17 megadiverse countries, hosting an estimated 7-8% of all recorded species while covering only 2.4% of the global land area. However, this rich biodiversity faces numerous threats from habitat loss, overexploitation, pollution, invasive species and climate change. This paper provides a comprehensive analysis of India's legal and policy framework for biodiversity conservation, examining its strengths, weaknesses and implementation challenges. Key legislation like the Biological Diversity Act 2002 and institutional mechanisms like the National Biodiversity Authority are evaluated. The paper finds that while India has a robust legal architecture for biodiversity protection on paper, significant gaps remain in enforcement, capacity and reconciling conservation with development imperatives. Case studies highlight both successes and failures in conserving particular species and ecosystems. The role of various stakeholders including government agencies, NGOs, and local communities is assessed. Drawing on international best practices, the paper concludes with recommendations for strengthening India's biodiversity governance through legislative reforms, improved implementation, enhanced stakeholder participation and innovative approaches like ecological fiscal transfers. Ultimately, conserving India's natural heritage will require not just strong laws but also greater political will, resources and public support for biodiversity protection.

Xanthomonas axonopodis pv. punicae is the most prevalent pathogen in majority of the pomegranate cultivating areas of India which causes bacterial blight. There is a need to develop ecologically friendly methods to prevent pomegranate production loss caused by this disease. The present study aimed to identify the most efficient native strains of antagonistic fluorescent pseudomonads against X. axonopodis pv. punicae, as well as the anti-microbial compounds produced by such efficient strains. Out of 99 colonies of fluorescent pseudomonads collected from different rhizosphere soils of pomegranate, the dual culture assay against X. axonopodis pv. punicae revealed that 83 colonies showed inhibitory effect while nine strains were found highly potent antagonists. In the present study, the bio-assay of crude cell free extracts of nine efficient strains, only five strains showed inhibition ofX. axonopodis pv. punicae culture. The crude cell free extract of these five strains were separated on a TLC plate which yielded four to six metabolites with different Rf values ranged from 0.23 to 0.86. Eluted portion of all the metabolites failed to show the inhibition activity exceptonly one metabolite produced by FP-64 with Rf value of 0.67 whichshowed an inhibition of 1.50 cmin diameter.

Motorized vehicles are the main source of exhaust emissions which cause air pollution and reduce air quality due to several factors such as vehicle type, vehicle age, temperature threshold and altitude. Sao Sao Road has a single lane road, so the level of traffic density produces quite high exhaust gas emissions due to several factors such as the presence of shopping centers, educational institutions, tourist attractions and government. CO concentration measurements were carried out using a measurement procedure method that refers to SNI 19-7117.10-2005, using Impinger. In the measurements in the morning, afternoon and evening, the CO gas concentration reached 3000 µg/m³, 9435 µg/m³, and in the afternoon 7000 µg/m³, the CO concentration was still safe for life and the environment because it had not exceeded the quality standard, namely 10,000 µg/m³.

Authors: Fortunella Levyana  , Rahim Anita Faradilla , Irawan Dimas Sondang
Published: July 2024

Background: Recurrent ankle sprains are typically caused by an athlete performing two or more duties at the same time. At least one task performance and dynamic balance are carried out in most athletic performances. This study aimed to determine an intervention that involves dual tasks for futsal players with functional ankle instability (FAI) and to investigate the effect of the exercise on dynamic balance and different characteristics of players.
Methods: The research was quasi-experimental, with a non-equivalent control group design. Thirty futsal players with FAI were recruited, as identified by the Identification of Functional Ankle Instability questionnaire. The participants were separated into experimental (n=16) and control (n=14) groups. The experimental group did plyometric exercises and cognitive activities (serial three or serial seven) for 15 minutes each, three times a week for six weeks. In contrast, the control group performed only plyometric exercises. The Y-Balance Test was used to measure dynamic balance. Participants were tested again six weeks later.
Results: The experimental group showed more significant improvement than the controls. Compared before and after intervention in each group, the dynamic balance was substantially increased (p<0.05). Following the intervention, no statistically significant difference was seen between the two groups (p>0.05).
Conclusions: In this article, we outlined the potential use of dual-task exercise (DTE) in the athlete population to support athletic performance and provide more insights to implement in injury prevention. We need further research to clarify the optimum time to make significant improvements with DTE.

Innovation among Small-Scale Firms in Shea Butter Production in Ghana
Authors: Alabani Kassim , Armah Mark Kojo , Taale Francis
Published: July 2024

This study examines innovation among small-scale shea butter processors in Ghana, guided by Schumpeter's Innovation theory. Using a descriptive research design, the study investigates product innovation, process innovation, marketing innovation, and organizational innovation. Data was collected through a questionnaire administered to 181 firms selected from a comprehensive list of shea butter processors, drawing inspiration from the European Community Innovation Survey (2019). Regression analyses using Stata version 14.2 were employed to identify factors influencing innovation. The findings show the presence of all four types of innovation, with different driving forces behind each. Logistic regression analysis identified access to innovation support services, firm location, and firm size as key determinants of product and process innovation. For organizational innovation, the study yielded a Pseudo R-squared of 0.157, a Chi-square value of 37.036, and an average innovation score of 0.771. Location, product demand, and foreign training for managers emerged as statistically significant factors. Urban firms displayed a higher propensity for both organizational and marketing innovation. Firms in urban settings were over three times more likely to innovate in marketing than rural firms (odds ratio: 3.377). A larger product portfolio was also associated with increased marketing innovation. Younger firms tended to innovate in products and processes (odds ratio: 9.137). The study concludes that firm size positively correlates with product innovation adoption, supporting Schumpeter's theory. However, regional constraints may necessitate a greater focus on process innovation, particularly efficiency improvements and waste reduction strategies. Interestingly, managerial demographics (age and education) did not significantly influence innovation, suggesting that regional entrepreneurial spirit and necessity-driven innovation may be more important factors in this context. The unique geographical and resource context of the region presents both challenges (limited infrastructure, financial resources, and research institutions) and opportunities (proximity to raw materials, potential for community collaboration) for innovation in the shea butter industry. Based on these findings, the study recommends that the government and relevant stakeholders provide support mechanisms such as training programs, access to technology, mentorship, and funding to enhance product innovation capabilities in the shea industry. These interventions should consider the regional context and focus on leveraging local resources while addressing specific constraints faced by firms in different locations.

Assessing the acceptance of the monkeypox vaccine is crucial for the success of vaccination programs, yet the prevalence reports remain inconclusive. The aim of this study was to determine the global prevalence of monkeypox vaccine acceptance and identify its associated factors. A meta-analysis was conducted with a comprehensive search strategy on the following databases, including Scopus, Embase, and PubMed, for articles published up to April 5, 2024. This study utilizes a single-arm meta-analysis to calculate the pooled prevalence of monkeypox vaccine acceptance. A Z-test was employed to identify factors associated with the vaccine acceptance. Our study analyzed 51 articles encompassing 98,746 participants, revealing an overall monkeypox vaccine acceptance rate of 65%. Notably, the highest acceptance rates were observed among men who have sex with men (MSMs), while healthcare workers (HCWs) showed the lowest acceptance rates. Additionally, our findings indicated an increased acceptance in individuals with educational attainment beyond a bachelor’s degree, a history of COVID-19 and influenza vaccination, homosexual orientation, and HIV-positive status. Conversely, lower acceptance risk was associated with those with educational attainment below a bachelor's degree, heterosexual orientation, and bisexual orientation. In conclusion, our current study has determined the rate of monkeypox vaccine acceptance and identified its associated factors. These findings offer valuable insights as the foundation for targeted policies to manage and increase acceptance rates.

Exploring Earth’s Interface with Space – The Scientific Case for a Satellite Mission to the Lower Thermosphere-Ionosphere Transition Region SUMMARY This report describes the scientific case for a mission concept to study the Earth’s Lower Thermosphere-Ionosphere – the LTI – which is the interface region between our atmosphere and space. The LTI is situated at altitudes between 100-200 km and is uniquely characterized by complex interactions between the co-existing neutral and ionized gases. The LTI receives and dissipates hundreds of gigajoules of energy every second from above due to solar wind interactions with our planet’s magnetosphere. Simultaneously, this region continuously receives energy and momentum input from below in the form of tides and gravity waves originating in the lower and middle atmosphere as well as impulsive input from thunderstorms, volcanoes, and earthquakes, whose energy content rivals that provided by the magnetosphere. The LTI responds dramatically to all of these driving forces producing large variations in many key properties, such as neutral and plasma number densities, motions, temperatures, and composition, as well as electric fields, conductivity, and currents. Importantly, the LTI also acts as a critical interface that subsequently regulates this energy transfer from the magnetosphere above and from the neutral atmosphere below.
Effect of Climate Parameter on Solar Still: A Concise Review

Published: July 2024

Conventional solar still have poor efficiency and low distillate output. Climate parameter play important role in efficiency of solar still. Many investigators have investigated the effect of climate parameter to improve the performance of solar still. This review paper evaluates the effect of several climate parameters like wind velocity, ambient temperature, location and vapour pressure. Review was to be done to minimize adverse effect of climate parameter to improve the performance solar still. From this review, it is found that productivity of still increase with increasing wind speed but performance of still little bit decrease with higher wind velocity approximately more than 9 m/s. There is direct relationship between the solar radiation and ambient temperature. The daily productivity increased as ambient temperature increased and directly promotional to the solar radiation. The productivity remains intact during the variation in vapour pressure of surrounding air on solar still. Further, it is found that at low latitude station in India, yearly total radiation and seasonally radiation are approximately equal irrespective of E-W or N-S orientation for double slop single basin solar still. At high latitude, the east-west orientation receives more radiation than the south-north orientation, taking the year as a whole, while there is no effect of orientation in case of lower latitude for double slope single basin solar still.  The single slope solar still single basin facing south collects greater amount of solar radiation as compared to the dual slope single basin solar still at lower and higher latitude locations. Solar still would be kept south facing for northern latitude and north facing for southern latitude.

Published: July 2024

Analiza definicji kultury fizycznej formułowanych przez rozmaitych autorów prac naukowych pozwala na wyciągnięcie wniosku, że aktywne uczestnictwo w jej różnorodnych formach i dziedzinach sprzyja wzajemnemu poznawaniu się osób, zwalczaniu stereotypów i uprzedzeń, nawiązywaniu i zacieśnianiu przyjaźni. Warto m.in. dla tego czynić starania o tworzenie – zwłaszcza w szkołach – tego, aby dzieci i młodzież z różnych środowisk społecznych miały do niej swobodny dostęp. Zwłaszcza te zagubione w nowym otoczeniu, zagrożone marginalizacją czy wykluczeniem z grupy rówieśniczej z powodu słabej znajomości języka polskiego, miejsca pochodzenia, tradycji kulturowych np. dzieci uchodźców wojennych z Ukrainy. Istnieje wiele dowodów na to, że kultura fizyczna – wychowanie fizyczne, sport, rekreacja, turystyka, rehabilitacja łączy narody ponad wieloma podziałami, jakie nadal istnieją we współczesnym świecie.

Published: July 2024

Osgood Schlatter disease is the inflammation of the tibial tubercle, right below the patella. It is prevalent in athletic adolescents experiencing growth plate maturation due to puberty. This case study highlights the main causes and symptoms of Osgood Schlatter disease (OSD) and relates them to a case about a 10-year-old girl who runs daily and is going through puberty. The authors also discuss recent research regarding OSD, which suggests that OSD will typically conclude after the child stops growing. Surgery is only needed in extreme cases where the growth or inflammation at the tibia continues to push onto the shinbone, even after puberty.
Use of shelters for restocking hatchery-produced Stichopus cf. horrens juveniles

Published: July 2024

The declining natural population of Stichopus cf. horrens can be mitigated through the restocking of hatchery-produced juveniles. In this study, the use of shelters as part of a release strategy for this species was evaluated. Seventy-five juveniles (25.8 ± 0.1 g) were released in three experimental sites (ES) with shelters made of stacked dead coral heads. The juveniles were monitored for 60 days to estimate apparent survival, displacement, permanence, and disappearance rates, and to determine activity patterns and measure growth. On day 60, 42.7% (SD 19.7) of the juveniles were retrieved, which were equally distributed between the central and side shelters with a corresponding disappearance rate of −0.016 (SD 0.01) ind d−1 within a 50 m2 area. The estimated displacement rate [0.03 (SD 0.03) m d−1] suggests that S. cf. horrens has a relatively small home range, thus may not need a large area to establish a spawning nucleus. During peak active hours, the juveniles were found outside the shelters or in the surrounding sand and seagrass blades. An average juvenile weight of 76.9 (SD 9.1) g was recorded upon termination, which was three-folds the initial weight suggesting that the juveniles were not food-limited. The low displacement rate, high growth, permanence rate, and apparent survival of juveniles in the ES indicate the potential of using dead coral heads as shelters in restocking cryptic species such as S. cf. horrens. Future studies on release optimization in terms of juvenile age/size, stocking density, time of release, and shelter design and placement are warranted.

Climate change presents a significant threat to coral reef ecosystems, prompting local initiatives to evaluate coral reef resilience and prioritize conservation efforts. In a collaborative endeavor involving the marine and fisheries agency, NGOs, and universities, 53 locations across Simeulue Island were assessed between 2018 and 2020. An extensive evaluation encompassing 34 variables across eight categories, including benthic indicators, substrate quality, thermal stress, coral health, and human-induced impacts, was conducted to assess the relative resilience score. The findings revealed varying degrees of resilience, with 22 locations classified as high, 23 as moderate, and 8 as low relative resilience scores. Notably, coral condition and population emerged as the most influential indicators. Additionally, the conversion of relative resilience scores into shapefile data, alongside citizen science–derived information, contributed to the conservation value assessment. Integration of the conservation value with cost data facilitated Marxan analysis to identify priority areas for zoning plans. The findings from the analysis serve as a foundation for conservation determinations made by stakeholders and local communities residing in proximity to the Pulau Pinang, Pulau Siumat, and Pulau Simanaha Marine Protected Area (PiSiSi MPA). Insights gleaned from public deliberations revealed that approximately 4.78% of the area is proposed for designation as no-take zones. This decision aligns with regulatory stipulations mandating a minimum no-take zone size of 2% at the time of its enactment.

The presence of toxic elements in mining areas has always been a concern for public health worldwide. Previously conducted studies have mainly focused on separate soil or water contamination as routes to potentially toxic elements, conceivably underestimating residents' risks. This study examined the health risks associated with the consumption of Abelmuscus esculentus planted in different sediment compositions; control soil + control water (CSCW), control soil + goldmine water (CSGW), goldmine sediment + control water (GSCW) and goldmine sediment + goldmine water (GSGW). As, Ni, Cr and Cd concentrations in goldmine water were found to be higher than allowable limits. After 21 days, A. esculentus seedlings planted on different soil/sediment compositions were harvested for the determination of elements using an inductively coupled plasma-optical electron spectrometer (ICP-OES). Estimated dietary intakes of minerals and toxic metals were lower than recommended limits. The non-carcinogenic risks posed by heavy metals are minimal, but A. esculentus in GSGW had 131.67 % greater risks of being hazardous. Carcinogenic risks indicate that A. esculentus grown in all soil/sediment compositions had the potential to cause cancer, with GSGW having approximately 63 % higher risks. Farming practices employing goldmine sediment and water present foreseeable hazards to health when not controlled going by findings in this study.

Inicialmente, o bypass coronariano estabeleceu-se como o padrão de ouro para revascularização miocárdica, utilizando enxertos arteriais ou venosos para contornar obstruções nas artérias coronárias e restaurar o fluxo sanguíneo adequado ao coração. A partir da década de 1970, a angioplastia coronariana percutânea revolucionou o tratamento da doença arterial coronariana, permitindo a dilatação de artérias estreitadas através de balões infláveis introduzidos por cateteres. A introdução subsequente dos stents, especialmente os stents farmacológicos, proporcionou melhorias significativas na eficácia a longo prazo, reduzindo a taxa de reestenose e a necessidade de reintervenção. Esta revisão abrange estudos comparativos que destacam as vantagens e limitações de cada abordagem, enfatizando que o bypass coronariano ainda é preferível em casos complexos, enquanto a intervenção percutânea oferece benefícios como menor tempo de recuperação e menor incidência de complicações. A análise também considera aspectos econômicos, evidenciando uma tendência crescente para a adoção de intervenções percutâneas devido à sua eficácia e custo-efetividade em muitos cenários clínicos. À medida que a tecnologia continua a avançar, novos desenvolvimentos como stents bioabsorvíveis e técnicas de imagem avançada prometem melhorar ainda mais os resultados clínicos e a personalização do tratamento cardiovascular. No entanto, desafios como a seleção apropriada de pacientes e a disseminação equitativa das novas tecnologias continuam a exigir atenção na pesquisa futura e na prática clínica. A evolução da cirurgia cardíaca do bypass tradicional à intervenção percutânea representa não apenas um avanço técnico, mas também um compromisso contínuo com a otimização dos cuidados cardiovasculares.

For years, anterior cervical diskectomy and fusion has been considered the benchmark for patients with cervical radiculopathy/myelopathy. However, concerns regarding adjacent segment pathology have promoted the popularity of cervical disk arthroplasty (CDA) with its motion-preserving properties. To replicate the natural cervical disk's six degrees of freedom and compressibility in cervical spine implants, designers need to carefully consider the level of constraint for stability and material selection. Recent CDA designs have incorporated strategies to facilitate unrestricted or semirestricted motion, deploying various articulating components and materials with distinct wear and compressibility properties. To optimize outcomes, patient selection considering additional degeneration of the cervical spine is critical. Clinical long-term studies have been reported in industry-funded FDA investigational device exemption and nonindustry-funded data for one-level and two-level CDA. There are limited data available on three-level and four-level CDA. Adverse events such as heterotopic ossification, osteolysis, migration, subsidence, and failure have been described, where analysis from explanted devices yields insight into in vivo wear and impingement performance. CDA has shown short-term cost advantages, such as decreased procedural expenses. Nonetheless, long-term analysis is necessary to assess possible economic tradeoffs. Advancements in designs may lead to improved implant longevity while evidence-based decision making will guide and responsibly manage the rapid advancement in CDA technology.

Published: July 2024

Root canal treatment is a branch of dentistry concerned with the morphology, physiology, and pathology of the human dental pulp. The majority of patients worry about a root canal because they don't know much about it and believe the procedure will is painful. The aim of this study was to assess the knowledge and awareness of patients in a sample of Tripoli Libya’s patients regarding root canal treatment. A Questionnaire comprised 19 questions was distributed in hard copies to 134 patients in public and private dental centers in Tripoli, Libya. The data were then subjected to statistical analysis using Chi square test and Fisher exact test, and P < 0.05 was considered statistically significant. The survey found that 79.9% of patients were familiar with root canal treatment and a significant proportion of patients (80.6%) thought the therapy was necessary for treating tooth pain. There have been statistically significant results linking endodontic professionals' experiences with different age groups. Similarly, a significant connection has been shown between patient' knowledge about root endodontic therapy and their level of education. Additionally, women's decisions to receive treatment are significantly influenced by the cost of treatment. According to our study, it was clear that most of the people had good knowledge and awareness regarding root canal treatment, but they felt it was costly. A general dentist was the first choice for the majority of patients. The cost associated with treatment was a serious barrier to obtaining treatment, especially among women.
