Abstract. The recession of Alpine glaciers causes an increase in the extent of proglacial areas that leads to changes in the water and sediment balance morphodynamics and sediment transport. Although the processes occurring in proglacial areas are relevant not only from a scientific point of view but also for the purpose of climate change adaptation, there is a lack of studies on the continuous monitoring and multitemporal characterization of these areas. This work offers a multidisciplinary approach that merges the contributions of different scientific disciplines such as hydrology, geophysics, geomatics and water engineering to characterise the Rutor glacier and its proglacial area. We surveyed the glacier and its proglacial area since 2020 with both uncrewed (drone) and crewed aerial photogrammetric flights; we determined the bathymetry of the most downstream proglacial lake and the thickness of the sediments deposited on its bottom. Water depth at four different locations within the hydrographic network of the proglacial area and the bedload at the glacier snout were continuously monitored. The synergy of our approach enables the characterisation, monitoring and understanding of a set of complex and interconnected processes occurring in a proglacial area.

Published: May 2023

Abstract. General Circulation Models (GCMs) simulations result on grids ranging from 50 km to 600 km, and, therefore, this coarse spatial resolution requires data processing, whereby the application of downscaling techniques has become a standard procedure. The main approaches employed are Statistical DownScaling (SDS) and Dynamic DownScaling (DDS). The former SDS consists of Linear Methods (LM), Stochastic Weather Generators, and Artificial Intelligence DownScaling techniques (IADS). Being computationally less demanding and highly portable, most studies apply LM, and IADS approaches to develop the downscaling. However, it is needed to evaluate whether these approaches allow obtaining representative, in the development of rainfall frequency analysis (RFA), in the estimative of the total precipitation (TP) and the number of rainy days (RD) both water year and multiannual level, as well as identify whether any of these approaches provide better results for the last generation of GCM’s made available for CMIP 6. On this basis and considering only the models with a horizontal resolution of 100 km that participated in the SSP1-2.6 and/or SSP5-8.5 scenarios of CMIP6, the present study aim to evaluate the performance of Delta Method (DM), Quantile Mapping (QM) and Regression Trees (RT) to develop RFA, estimate the TP and RD, based on rainfall series obtained by DownScaling, respect to estimative developed with historical records. The results show that the application of DM, RT and QM does not guarantee a temporal correlation between the TP and RD estimated with DownScaling and historical series, likewise, it is observed that in the estimation of RFA, the application of RT generates better results than QM. Finally, it is evident that not applying any DownScaling technique and applying QM generates similar results.

Inovasi Teknologi Pirolisis Sederhana Pengolah Sampah Plastik Menjadi Bahan Bakar Minyak (KEROSENE)
Authors: Kasih Bratha Rama Wide , Putri Naya Rahma
Published: May 2023

Berdasarkan dari kegiatan masyarakat ternyata plastik jenis LDPE (Low Density Polyethylene) ini paling banyak dijumpai di lingkungan bahkan sering menjadi sebagai sumber pencemar lingkungan karena dapat mengganggu keseimbangan ekosistem. Biasanya plastik jenis LDPE ini terdapat pada kantong plastik (kresek), kantong plastik sampah, tas belanja hingga bungkus makanan. Alat ini bekerja sederhana yaitu plastik jenis LDPE dimasukkan pada tungku pembakaran untuk mendapatkan proses pemanasan dan penguapan. Setelah penguapan maka uap atau gas-gas akan naik menuju ke tabung penyulingan atau tabung pemurnian atau mengalami proses destilasi untuk pemisahan air dan gas-gas minyak. Setelah proses penyulingan masuk ke dalam tabung kondensor untuk proses kondensasi selama 1 sampai 1,15 jam. Plastik-plastik jenis LDPE ini jika dibakar akan berubah menjadi senyawa Propana atau golongan alkana yang memiliki 3 atom karbon. Propana ini juga merupakan komponen dari pembentukan gas LPG (Liquefied Petroleum Gas) atau Gas Petroleum Cair. Setelah terbentuk propana dari hasil pembakaran plastik maka gas-gas propana ini didinginkan. Dari hasil pendinginan atau proses kondensasi ini akan terbentuklah cairan berupa bahan bakar minyak. Sampah plastik jenis LDPE dapat dijadikan bahan bakar dalam bentuk minyak alternatif karena sampah plastik jenis LDPE ini apabila dibakar akan menghasilkan propana yang merupakan komponen dalam pembuatan gas LPG. Gas-gas pada propana sebagai unsur alkana ini mendapat perlakuan melalui proses kondensasi atau pendinginan sehingga gas-gas propana ini berubah menjadi cairan dalam bentuk minyak)

Published: May 2023

The study explored effects of global factors on cultural identity of tribal men in Dera Ghazi Khan. For data collection, twelve tribal men (six young and six old) were interviewed. Through deductive thematic analysis eight themes were formed based on predetermined research questions. The results showed that use of global factors was common and frequent among tribal men. Among global factors, internet was preferred by young tribal men for entertainment while old men preferred radio for news updates and weather forecasts. The tribal people were learning and adopting new languages, different styles in dressing, food and ways of celebration from other cultures. Traditional occupations and leisure time activities were being replaced with modern ones. Attitude towards traditional roles of men and women were in transition. The tribal customs like horse riding, shooting, dancing with swords, dress pattern and Jirga system were being extinct while values like hospitality, cooperation, respect for women and elders still exist. Young tribal people liked to form social relations with people from other cultures while older liked to maintain their relationships with local community members.
Women and Torah: The Orthodox Jewish Response to Second-Wave Feminism
Authors: Shekhter Batsheva
Published: May 2023

This paper explores the effects of second-wave feminism in the 1970s on the Orthodox Jewish movement within the United States. During this time, the feminist movement challenged the way women were viewed and treated in American society, leading to other denominations of Judaism soon enacting policies to reflect such change. The paper examines how this movement was received and responded to by the Orthodox Jewish leadership and seeks to explore the contradictions that arose as a result of the collision between feminism and Orthodox Judaism. Ultimately, it concludes that the feminist movement of the 1970s had a profound impact on the Orthodox Jewish movement, leading to changes in milestone events, education, and representation within the community, but also contributing to a complex and ongoing debate about the meaning and practice of Jewish tradition.

Bioatividade de pó de mastruz (Chenopodium ambrosioides L.) sobre Alphitobius diaperinus (Panzer, 1977)(coleoptera: tenebrionidae).
Authors:   , Gomes Abreu Khyson
Published: May 2023

O grande desenvolvimento e evolução da produção da avicultura brasileira ocorrido nos últimos anos proporcionou a elevação do índice de sua produção, resultando em um significativo desempenho no cenário nacional e internacional da indústria agropecuária. Por outro lado, problemas relacionados aos insetos-praga no aviário, como é o caso do Alphitobius diaperinus, conhecido popularmente como “cascudinho”, são considerados fatores limitantes a produção. O presente trabalho buscou avaliar os efeitos bioinseticidas do pó do mastruz (Chenopodium ambrosioides L.) em diferentes doses no controle do A.diaperinus. Para avaliar estes efeitos, bioensaios de eficiência e repelência foram conduzidos. A eficiência do pó de mastruz foi estudada nas doses de 0,0; 0,5; 0,75 e 1,0 g/cm2 e em quatro períodos de avaliação (7, 14, 21 28 dias), no Laboratório de Fitossanidade do CDSA/UFCG. Foram utilizados recipientes plásticos de 6 x 5 cm (30 cm2), simulando-se as características da cama dos aviários, onde utilizou-se o pó de mastruz (base do recipiente) e casca de arroz (2cm de altura) na camada acima. Sobre as camadas de mastruz e arroz adicionou-se a ração de frango para alimentação de A.diaperinus. Em seguida, em cada unidade experimental foram colocados 30 insetos. No primeiro bioensaio a eficiência de controle do pó de mastruz foi calculada pelo método de Abbott (1925). Os dados foram submetidos à Análise de Variância pelo teste F (P≤0,05) e as médias (x+0,5) comparadas pelo teste de Tukey (P≤0,05). O segundo bioensaio avaliou o potencial dos produtos em repelir adultos de A.diaperinus, utilizando-se para isto recipientes de madeira com três compartimentos (com e sem mastruz) de 6 x 6 cm (36 cm2), , contendo 10 repetições. No centro do dispositivo liberou-se 30 insetos adultos e após 24 horas, registrou-se o número de insetos atraído ou repelidos pelo mastruz em cada recipiente. Para análise do efeito do mastruz sobre A.diaperinus foi utilizado-se o índice de repelência (IR) e análise de regressão polinomial. De acordo com os resultados, pode-se concluir que o pó de mastruz a 1,0 g/cm2 foi a dose mais eficiente, com valores de eficiência de 69,29% aos 7 dias e 98,46% aos 28 dias. Verificou-se que o IR obtido para os tratamentos foram < 1, indicando que todas as doses testadas foram consideradas repelentes a A.diaperinus

Authors:   , da Costa Benedito Nubiana
Published: May 2023

O estudo da fenologia é importante por permitir entender como funciona os ecossistemas, e as interações entre os componentes bióticos e abióticos, e as fases reprodutivas e vegetativas das plantas. Assim, a pesquisa objetivou estudar a variação temporal das fenofases de Mimosa ophthalmocentra Mart. ex Benth. em uma área de Caatinga no Semiárido paraibano. O trabalho foi desenvolvido em uma área reservada para estudos de ecologia e dinâmica da caatinga dividida em 96 parcelas contíguas de 10 X 10 m. Para o monitoramento das fenofases de M. ophthalmocentra buscou-se selecionar um indivíduo por parcela. As observações foram realizadas mensalmente, no período de julho de 2016 a julho de 2017, registrando-se dados de floração, frutificação, brotação, queda foliar, queda de flores, dispersão e queda de frutos. Foi estimado o percentual de indivíduos expressando a fenofase e o percentual de intensidade de Fournier para cada planta. Para o período de monitoramento registrou-se a ocorrência quase que exclusivamente dos eventos fenológicos vegetativos (brotação e queda de folhas), e em dois meses do evento reprodutivo de floração. A única fenofase que ocorreu durante todo o período de monitoramento, foi queda de folhas, com pico no mês de junho de 2017. O índice de intensidade de Fournier demonstrou que a queda de folhas apesar de ter sido contínua, apresentou variação temporal na intensidade de ocorrência. A brotação iniciou com o período chuvoso, atingindo o pico no mês de março de 2017, quando ocorreu também o pico de precipitação. Para o evento brotação, a intensidade foi baixa e acompanhou o decréscimo do percentual de indivíduos apresentando a fenofase. Durante o período de monitoramento o único evento reprodutivo observado foi o de floração, que iniciou no mês de junho de 2017, com pico de 11%, no mês de julho. Quanto à intensidade da floração, registraram-se também baixos índices com valores de 2,1% (junho) e 2,7% (julho). De modo geral, verificou-se a ocorrência da variabilidade temporal dos eventos, principalmente os reprodutivos, expressando a dependência das fenofases com a baixa precipitação e o longo período de estiagem que vem ocorrendo na região.

Published: May 2023

A arborização urbana, entendida como um conjunto de árvores que se estabelecem em áreas públicas ou privadas em uma cidade, visa o bem estar socioambiental fisiológico e econômico da sociedade local e à promoção da qualidade de vida dos munícipes, mas nem sempre nos pequenos município existe um planejamento adequado para a implantação da árvores nas ruas, comprometendo o estabelecimento destas e trazendo conflitos com os elementos arquitetônicos, com a fiação e as calçadas. A pesquisa objetivou realizar um diagnóstico da cobertura arbórea das espécies de árvores existentes nas ruas do bairro Várzea Redonda, município de Sumé - PB, como contributo à política pública de arborização. Foram percorridas, para o inventários 27 ruas e observados as árvores de forma quali-quantivativa. Foram identificados 674 indivíduos, distribuídos em 12 famílias botânicas e 16 espécies, evidenciando uma diversidade satisfatória. Os resultados verificados no inventário apontam que a arborização das ruas do bairro da Várzea Redonda apresenta riqueza de espécies considerada de nível intermediário/alta, com predominância Ficus benjamina com 320 indivíduos (47,0%) e Azadirachta indica com 196 indivíduos (29,0%). Observou-se conflitos da arborização com calçadas e rede de fiação elétrica, problemas por infestação de fitoparasitas, e necessidade de podas. Sugere-se a implantação de um planejamento e monitoramento das árvores bem como o desenvolvimento de uma política dos projetos de arborização.

O presente trabalho tem como objetivo projetar e avaliar a uniformidade da distribuição de água aplicada através do sistema de irrigação por aspersão na vertente da Bacia Hidrográfica do Açude Público de Sumé, PB, especificamente no Sítio Pitombeira Município de Sumé, Paraíba, visando analisar a Determinação do Coeficiente de Uniformidade de Christiansen (CUC); Determinação do Coeficiente de Uniformidade de Distribuição (CUD); Coeficiente estatístico de uniformidade (CUE), e a Eficiência de aplicação de água. A eficiência da irrigação vai depender da uniformidade com que a água é distribuída em seus emissores, por isso a uniformidade de distribuição de água em um sistema de irrigação é um quesito muito importante. O experimento foi conduzido em um sistema de cultivo aberto, sob irrigação por aspersão, localizado no Sítio Pitombeira, as margens da Bacia Hidrográfica do Açude Público de Sumé, PB. A água utilizada na irrigação da área de produção é proveniente de um poço amazonas, com vazão média de 18 m3 h-1, localizado no centro da área de cultivo. A amostra de água foi encaminhada ao Laboratório de Irrigação e Salinidade (LIS) do Departamento de Engenharia Agrícola / UFCG, onde foi realizada a análise química. Os resultados indicam que a prática da irrigação por aspersão, na área da pesquisa é realizada com pouca acurácia técnica, ocasionando perdas ou excesso na aplicação de água necessitando, a utilização de técnicas de manejo que potencialize a melhora da eficiência de aplicação água. Diminuindo assim as perdas de água e melhorando a sustentabilidade do empreendimento.

Published: May 2023

Existe uma grande preocupação em torno dos impactos ambientais ocasionados por práticas antrópicas como, por exemplo, a contaminação dos solos causada por diversos fatores, dentre eles o derramamento de derivados do petróleo. E com isso este trabalho propõe o uso da compostagem como uma possibilidade de diminuição da toxicidade do óleo diesel e óleo lubrificante no solo, visto que este é um método economicamente viável. O sistema de compostagem utilizado continha raquetes de palma forrageira fícus (secas e moídas) utilizadas para a adsorção de óleo lubrificante e óleo diesel, serrapilheira, borra de café, casca de ovo triturada e esterco caprino. A avaliação da diminuição da toxicidade foi realizada por meio de testes ecotoxicológicos com minhocas e sementes de alface (Lactuca sativa L). Durante o processo de compostagem verificou-se que a adição de raquetes de palmas que adsorveu óleo diesel e óleo lubrificante que estimulou o crescimento microbiano. Ainda foi verificado que durante o processo houve a produção de biossurfactantes. O composto final apresentou odor e textura de terra adubada, semelhantes ao composto controle que não teve adição de palma contendo os derivados de petróleo. Os testes ecotoxicológicos indicaram que o tratamento empregado foi capaz de reduzir a toxicidade do óleo lubrificante, de modo que o composto final se apresentou como matéria orgânica que pode ser usada como adubo orgânico.

The current study explores the variations of formant frequency of English vowels produced by eighty students of BS English and English language at NUML and International Islamic University Islamabad. The research defines the acoustic monophthongal variations under the influence of gender and four standard regional varieties of Pakistan and presents a macro-level description of Monophthongs of Pakistani English. The respondents belong to Balochi, Pushto, Punjabi, and Sindhi languages. This study explores monophthongal formant variations among these speakers through the lenses of the ‘Formant Frequency Model’ (Lindblom, 1979). For this purpose, the poem entitled, “The North Wind and the Sun” has been used to collect the required data. The formant values have been extracted from PRAAT, a software presented by (Boersma & Weenink, 2019). The manually extracted data from PRAAT were analyzed via statistical tools of SPSS and ANOVA. The findings of this research disclose that monophthongal formant variations are related to the unclear realization of sounds like /ə / and /ʌ/, paucity in realizing the vowel pairs of English, identical articulation of /ɒ/ and /ͻ:/ among the groups. The findings of the research would contribute to the phonological system of Pakistani English, which is an Asian- variety of the Outer-Circle. The findings would assist English language teachers to teach pronunciation of English with an acoustic-phonetic perspective.

Il neoliberismo ‘come invenzione della verità’
Authors: Schiattarella Roberto
Published: May 2023

Nell’articolo si tenta di mettere in evidenza come le discontinuità sul piano del metodo scientifico e nel valore di riferimento tra la vecchia e la nuova cultura del mercato, il neoliberismo, abbiano finito col tradursi in una diversa utopia che non è più quella della società resa efficiente dall’agire della concorrenza, ma è quella centrata sulla competitività delle imprese e sulla libertà di azione dei grandi gruppi multinazionali. Un’utopia che viene raccontata come se fosse sorretta dall’idea forte di scientificità della vecchia cultura del mercato, ma il cui percorso scientifico può essere assimilato piuttosto all’invenzione della verità di de Finetti.

Authentic Credible Leadership
Authors: Henson Joshua , Hemby Samuel
Published: May 2023

This is a study of authentic credibility as demonstrated through John’s description of Jesus’ words and actions in the Farewell Discourses (John 13-17). Identifying the need for further research on the relationship between authentic leadership and credibility (Williams et al., 2018) and building from Kouzes and Posner’s (2011) six disciplines of leader credibility—discover yourself, appreciate constituents, affirm shared values, develop capacity, serve a purpose, and sustain hope—and Hemby’s (2007) on leader credibility, we espouse that moral foundations of authentic leadership promote leader credibility while not dimensioning the need for competence. After a thorough literature review on authentic leadership, the study explored how Jesus modeled authentic credibility in the Farewell Discourses of John 13 – 17. Reconfiguring Kouzes and Posner’s six disciples through the biblical narrative, we identified six themes of authentic credibility modeled by Jesus: prioritizing Kingdom identity, balancing criticism and optimism, valuing truth, intentional follower development, purposeful posture, and sustainable, spiritual hope. The study applied a systematic approach to the Farewell Discourses so that each of the five chapters of the discourses were thoroughly reviewed to provide specific instances where Jesus modeled authentic credibility. The study provides a fresh perspective on authentic credibility by viewing the concept through a biblical, Christian worldview.
The Use of Art Observation Interventions to Improve Medical Students’ Diagnostic Skills: A Scoping Review
Authors: Mehta Anjali , Agius Steven
Published: May 2023

Introduction: Clinical observation skills are fundamental to the practice of medicine. Yet, the skill of looking carefully is rarely taught within the medical curriculum. This may be a contributory factor in diagnostic errors in healthcare. A growing number of medical schools, especially in the United States, have turned to the humanities to offer visual arts-based interventions to foster medical students’ visual literacy. This research aims to map the literature on the relationship between art observation training and diagnostic skills of medical students, highlighting effective teaching methodologies.
Methods: Based on the Arksey and O’Malley framework, a comprehensive scoping review was conducted. Publications were identified by searching nine databases and hand searching the published and grey literature. Two reviewers independently screened each publication using the pre-designed eligibility criteria.
Results: Fifteen publications were included. Significant heterogeneity exists between the study designs and the methods employed to evaluate skill improvement. Nearly all studies (14/15) reported an increase in the number of observations made post-intervention, but none evaluated long-term retention rates. There was an overwhelmingly positive response to the programme, but only one study explored the clinical relevance of the observations made.
Discussion: The review establishes improved observational acumen following the intervention, however, uncovers very limited evidence towards improved diagnostic abilities. There is a need for greater rigour and consistency within the experimental designs, through using control groups, randomisation, and a standardised evaluation rubric. Further research on the optimal intervention duration and the application of skills gained to clinical practice, should be performed.

Dextran-coated Fe3 O4 Nanoparticles for Hyperthermia Therapy Application
Authors: Shete Prajakta B , Pathade Girish R
Published: May 2023

In the present work, nanocrystals of magnetite were prepared by alkaline precipitation. The precursor used for synthesis was ferrous chloride only and the reaction was carried out in absence of any oxidant. Dextran is a material with excellent biocompatibility, water solubility and low cytotoxicity. Hence it was chosen as a potential coating material for the magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs). Both bare and coated MNPs (Fe3O4 and D- Fe3O4) showed particle size of diameter 20.8±4.1 nm and 16.3±3.2 nm, respectively. The magnetization values of both the MNPs were 53.62 emu/g and 47.86 emu/g at room temperature, respectively. The negligible coercivity and remanence values at room temperature implied superparamagnetic behaviour of the MNPs. Zeta potential of both bare and coated nanoparticles showed higher colloidal stability of coated nanoparticles than the bare one at a pH range of 2-10. The MNPs are studied for their heating induction abilities at 167.6 Oe, 251.4 Oe and 335.2 Oe (equivalent to 13.3, 20.0 and 26.7 kA m-1, respectively), in order to use them in magnetic fluid hyperthermia therapy. At 335.2 Oe, DFe 3O4 showed maximum Specific Absorption Rate (SAR) of 120.25 W/g, while bare MNPs showed SAR of 79.32 W/g. Both the particles had no cytotoxic effect on L929 cell line showing their strong possibility to be used for in vivo applications. The further work is in the process.

Field experiment was conducted during 2017-18 at Sugarcane Research Institute, Dr. Rajendra Prasad Central Agricultural University, Pusa, Samastipur, Bihar to study the effect of row spacing on yield and quality of early maturing sugarcane genotypes. Treatment included two row spacing (90 and 120 cm) and five genotypes viz., ‘CoLk 12207’, ‘CoP 12436’, ‘CoSe 12451’, ‘BO 130’ and ‘CoSe 95422’. Significantly higher plant population, leaf area index (4.18), dry matter accumulation (34.8 t/ ha) and millable canes (126, 200/ ha) were recorded with 90 cm row spacing gave significantly highest cane (96.2 t/ ha) and sugar yield (11.6 t/ ha). Results showed that genotype CoSe 95422 superseded other genotypes in growth and yield attributing characters. Maximum cane yield (104.4 t/ ha) was noticed due to the genotypes CoSe 95422. However, maximum brix (20.3%), pol (18.13%) and CCS percent (12.60%) were noted with the genotype CoLk 12207 which was statistically similar to BO 130. Significantly higher sugar yield (12.4 t/ha) was obtained with the genotype CoSe 95422 which was statistically comparable to CoLk 12207 and CoSe 12451.

Authors: Yashashree D Jadhav , Nandutai Garud , Binawade Yojana
Published: May 2023

Clove oil contains the active ingredient eugenol which is a natural anesthetic. Dental caries and dental plaque are among the most common diseases worldwide and are caused by a mixture of microorganisms and food debris. Specific types of acid-producing bacteria, especially Streptococcus mutans, colonize the dental surface and causes damage to the hard tooth. The decayed tooth of patients suffering from dental caries was taken as a starting material in our present investigation. The clinical specimen from dental caries patients were subjected to isolation of the etiological agent of dental caries by streak plate method on Blood agar. And two isolates were obtained. The antimicrobial activity of the extract of Syzygium aromaticum against both isolated organisms was studied. The aqueous extract of Syzygium aromaticum did not show antimicrobial activity against both isolated organisms. But methanol extract of Syzygium aromaticum showed significant antimicrobial activity against both organisms.
Trait Association and path coefficient analysis for yield and yield attributing traits in Sesame (Sesamum indicum L.)
Authors: Kumari Preeti , Shah Pankaj
Published: May 2023

Correlation and path analysis were carried out in 36 diverse genotypes of sesame collected from different parts of the country along with North-East region of India for local landraces. Analysis of variance indicated the presence of good amount of genetic variability among the genotypes under study. Correlation studies indicated that seed yield per plant was significantly and positively associated with traits, i.e. plant height, internodal length, number of capsules per plant, number of branches per plant, stover yield per plant and harvest index both at genotypic and phenotypic levels which indicate the importance of these traits in selection for enhancing the seed yield. Path analysis revealed that maximum positive direct effect on seed yield per plant was imposed by days to 80% physiological maturity, internodal length, capsule length, stem height from base to first branch, stover yield per plant, harvest index, relative water content, oil content and protein content both at genotypic and phenotypic levels. This indicate that these are the real independent characters and they have maximum contribution towards increase in the seed yield per plant.
Microbial Production of Bioplastics: An Eco-friendly Alternative
Authors: Chawla Mansi , Narwal Shivani , Dhankhar Rajesh , Kalshan Savita
Published: May 2023

Accumulation of non-biodegradable plastic has shown adverse impacts on the environment and calls for a dire need for a sustainable alternative. Various microbial strains can produce bioplastics in the form of Polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHAs) as energy reserves. Many bacteria, fungi and microalgae have been studied to produce such biopolymers. PHAs are biodegradable and meet the basic requirements of life cycle environmental impact or life cycle assessments for proper disposal. They are also biocompatible and renewable. They have high Elastic modulus, Tensile modulus, melting temperature, and crystallinity with many other properties similar to synthetic plastics currently in use, making them a more reliable and sustainable substitute. Bioplastics produced from PHAs have found a myriad of applications in medicine, pharmaceuticals, agriculture and the packaging industry. This review emphasizes the structure of PHAs, their biosynthesis and relevant microbial strains employed, including genetically engineered strains, microbes from extreme niches and mixed microbial cultures. It focuses on using cheap and sustainable carbon feedstocks, including agricultural residues, lignocellulosic biomass and crude glycerol, on making the production of PHAs cleaner and commercially feasible. Industrially scaled production using different fermentation strategies, downstream processing and purification, along with the wide range of applications of PHAs, is also discussed.

Authors: Kumar Rahul , Bansal Atul , Aliza  , Goel Mayank
Published: May 2023

Green financing has been gaining popularity over the recent years. This term is used for the arrangement of funds or financing of environmental and sustainable development related projects. Green financing is emerging as a public policy instrument, and numerous research articles have been published in the last decade on green financing and sustainable development. The goal of this paper is to examine the evolution of green financing or sustainable finance, as well as the trend of research topics, using a systematic literature review. To achieve the study’s objectives, we conducted bibliometric analysis (keyword co-occurrence, cocitation authors, and source analysis), and data were collected from the SCOPUS database and analysed for articles published between 2010 and 2022. We used Vosviewer and R-Biblioshiny software for this purpose and found some key literature and prospective research areas on green financing. At last we concluded our study with some broader areas of green financing related to sustainable development, identifying research gaps and future directions
