Authors: K. Karuppiah  , Asha Sundaram
Published: June 2024

The Forest Conservation Act of 1980 was enacted with the intention of eradicating deforestation, which eventually leads to severe ecological imbalance; therefore, no matter who owns them or how they are classified, all forests must be subject to the provisions of the Act for the conservation of forests and matters related to them. The word “forest” must be understood according to its dictionary meaning. This definition applies to all forests recognised under the law, regardless of whether they are designated as reserved protected for the purpose of Section 2(i) of the Forest Conservation Act. The term “forest land”, occurring in Section 2, will not only include “forest” as understood in the dictionary sense, but also any area, irrespective of ownership, that is designated as a forest in government records. For it to be applied in accordance with Section 2 of the Act, it must be interpreted in this manner. Irrespective of who owns the forest or how it is classified, all of the provisions made under the Forest Conservation Act of 1980 for the conservation of forests and items related thereto must be clearly applicable. Deforestation contributes to ecological imbalance and the degradation of the environment.

Authors: Zewide Isreal
Published: June 2024

Low soil fertility, attributed to a deficiency in multiple nutrients, is causing a decline in the productivity of potatoes (Solanum tuberosum) in the Gawata district of southwestern Ethiopia. To address this issue, a field experiment was conducted during the Belg season (February to May) and Meher season (June to October) of the year 2024. The objective was to assess the response of potatoes to the combined application of nitrogen, phosphorus, and coffee biochar (BC) in relation to specific soil physico chemical properties under rainfed conditions. The treatments comprised various combinations of biochar (2.5, 5, 7.5 t ha-1) and inorganic NP (25, 50, and 75%) of the recommended dose (165 kg N ha-1 + 60 kg P ha-1 = 100% recommended dose of fertilizer, RDF), along with 20 t ha-1 of biochar and 100% inorganic NP, with a no-fertilizer treatment serving as the control. In total, there were 12 treatments and a randomized complete block design with three replications was employed for the experiment. The results indicated that the combined application of 75% inorganic NP and 7.5 t ha-1 of biochar significantly increased pH, organic carbon, total nitrogen, available phosphorus, cation exchange capacity, and exchangeable calcium and magnesium. Additionally, it reduced bulk density, exchangeable acidity, exchangeable aluminum, and exchangeable potassium compared to the values obtained from the initial soil test. Consequently, it was concluded that the integrated use of 7.5 t ha-1 of biochar and 75% of inorganic NP during the Belg season, or 25% of it during the Meher season, represents an optimal nutrient management strategy for potato production in the study area.

Authors: Ali Dakheel  , Ismaeil Mammani  , Jiyar Naji
Published: June 2024

This study can clarify and compare two lines of the same design of basal implants based on microbiological criteria. Ten beagle dogs were involved in the first stage of the study when swabs from the gingival sulci were collected before extraction of the first and second premolars in both maxillary and mandibular segments of the left side of the mouth, followed by immediate implant placement of bicortical screws and compression screws of the basal implants. A waiting period of four months was followed by swab collection from the peri-implant areas of the successful implants of eight dogs. The swabs were sent for a qualitative polymerase chain reaction (PCR) technology to detect five periodontopathogens. In the first stage of the study, detecting some bacterial species can be correlated to the surgical results of the failure rate already detected. In the second stage, the prevalence of specific bacterial species was more significant compared to the first stage of the study, and the detected bacterial percentage was also higher. Periodontopathogens play an important role in peri-implant postoperative infection and subsequent failure, whether individually or even together.

Authors: Prabha D. Padma , Priscilla C. Victoria
Published: June 2024

The digital invasion of the banking and financial sectors made life simple and easy. Traditional machine learning models have been studied in credit card fraud detection, but these models are often difficult to find effective for unseen patterns. This study proposes a combined framework of deep learning and machine learning models. The long short term memory autoencoder (LSTMAE) with attention mechanism is developed to extract high-level features and avoid overfitting of the model. The extracted features serve as input to the powerful ensemble model XGBoost to classify legitimate and fraudulent transactions. As the focus of fraud detection is to increase the recall rate, an adaptive threshold technique is proposed to estimate an optimal threshold value to enhance performance. The experiment was done with the IEEE-CIS fraud detection dataset available in Kaggle. The proposed model with optimal threshold has an increase in predicting fraudulent transactions. The research findings are compared with conventional ensemble techniques to find the generalization of the model. The proposed LSTMAE-XGB w/ attention method attained a good precision and recall of 94.2 and 90.5%, respectively, at the optimal threshold of θ = 0.22. The experimental results proved that the proposed approach is better at finding fraudulent transactions than other cutting-edge models

Authors: Das Dr. Ratna Jyoti , Das Ms. Purabi , Pathak Dr. Kalyani , Kalita Mrs. Parimita
Published: June 2024

Bioavailability refers to the fraction of administered drug that reaches the systemic circulation in an unchanged form and is available to exert its therapeutic effects. It is the rate and extent to which a drug is absorbed from its dosage form and becomes available at the site of action. Bioavailability and bioactivity both the concepts are related to the effectiveness of drugs. The term pharmacological response is directly related to our body's blood plasma levels. Thus, bioavailability is defined as the rate and extent (amount) of absorption of an unchanged drug from its dosage form. An ideal drug must have to live within the body and must not reform the properties of biomolecules apart from target molecules. Nano drug delivery systems, also known as nanocarriers or nanomedicines, refer to a class of pharmaceutical formulations that utilize nanotechnology to deliver drugs or therapeutic agents to specific target sites within the body. Nanotechnology offers precise control over the design and fabrication of drug delivery systems. By encapsulating drugs within nanoparticles or nanocarriers, their stability, solubility, and targeted delivery can be improved. Nanoparticles can protect drugs from degradation, enhance their absorption, and enable controlled release, thus improving bioavailability. Nanoparticles can be engineered to specifically target diseased cells or tissues while sparing healthy ones. Functionalized nanoparticles can be designed to attach to specific molecules or receptors found on cancer cells, for instance. This targeted approach reduces systemic side effects and enhances the bioactivity of therapeutic agents. Bioactive loaded nanotechnology has emerged as a promising approach for enhancing drug delivery systems. Nanotechnology involves the manipulation and engineering of materials at the nanoscale level to create carriers capable of encapsulating and delivering bioactive compounds. These nanocarriers offer several advantages, including improved drug stability, controlled release, targeted delivery, and enhanced bioavailability. The progress achieved thus far in nano-drug delivery systems offers a glimpse into the future of pharmaceutical sciences, with the potential to revolutionize the treatment landscape and improve patient outcomes across a wide range of medical conditions. Embracing the promise of nano-based drug delivery represents a promising pathway towards the realization of safer, more efficient, and patient-tailored therapies in modern medicine.
