Marginalization, Resilience, Integration: Reconstructing and Globalizing Canada’s Celtic Fringe Island Region of Cape Breton
Authors: Graham Glenn
Published: January 2019

Scholarship addressing informal peripheral regions in Canada is limited, with literature on territorial politics tending to privilege provinces and province groupings with uber-region status. The article provides a synthesized framework (using new institutionalism, identity, and new regionalism theorizations) for studying informal regions. The case of Cape Breton Island is presented to probe, through mixed methods, how political and cultural actors attempt to build, maintain, and reconstruct a region and adapt to globalization. Before Confederation, significant Scottish Gaelic immigration shaped a Celtic Fringe/Gaelic-sanctuary regional construction of Cape Breton. In 1820 Cape Breton was annexed to Nova Scotia, closing off a potential development path as a colony-province. It later entered a formally institutionalized province and federation as an informal region. Although Gaelic was then Canada’s third most spoken language, it was institutionally stigmatized, the Gaels marginalized. Industrialization, social modernization, attempted cultural homogenization, and transition in a post-industrial setting, have set the Gaels and the island on a challenging development path as the region is reconstructed. In the current era of globalization, pursuits of cultural, social, and economic development signal that, to some degree, regional cultures and political and institutional actors can resist, accommodate and offset globalization-related pressures, and, through incorporating regional preferences, identities, institution-building, and cultural revitalization, have an indigenizing effect on region-building and development.
The Confused Canadian Eater: Quantification, Personal Responsibility, and Canada’s Food Guide
Authors: Amend Elyse
Published: January 2019

Canada’s Food Guide is promoted as an educational tool that translates nutrition for laypeople and provides tools to measure eating and its effects on the body. However, the discourses it circulates have been critiqued as abstract and difficult to apply in everyday practice, and linked to a nutritionally confused environment where the disempowered eater is positioned as lacking knowledge about nutrition and in need of expert intervention to learn how to eat right and become a responsible, healthy subject. By mobilizing a biopolitical frame, this article takes a closer look at the work Canada’s Food Guide does in constructing particular ideas about nutrition, and at the issues of confusion and personal responsibilization that emerge through its quantitative healthy eating discourse. This work turns to literature on scientific and quantitative languages that drive nutrition guidance in texts like Canada’s Food Guide, namely, the concepts of “discourses of quantification” and “nutritionism,” which prioritize scientific knowledge about food while excluding complex economic, political, and sociocultural issues tied to how we eat. In light of Health Canada’s ongoing revision of the food guide, this work seeks to add to discussions about how ideas of healthy eating may be renegotiated with the goal of enriching the way future Canadian public health initiatives and nutrition policies are constructed.

Livestock farming has great importance in the Brazilian economic scenario, developed in all states and ecosystems of the country, and the Brazilian sector presents a wide range of production systems. Brazilian beef production is mainly from pasture production systems, with Brazil having an area of 180 million hectares of pasture, where more than half of this total presents some degree of soil degradation and pasture, mainly in stages advanced. The emission of methane by ruminants accounts for 22% of this gas in the atmosphere, making it the third largest source on a global scale. Methane gas (CH4) has a significant participation of 15% in global warming, but Brazil has a great potential to reduce the emission of methane gas by improving the productivity indexes of its livestock. Improvements in animal feeding and genetics result in less CH4 emission during the animal's life cycle. In addition, these improvements result in increased meat production resulting in a double benefit: the environmental and the economic. CH4 is considered to be the second largest contributor to the earth's heating by absorbing infrared radiation into atmosphere behind only carbon dioxide (CO2). The increase in its concentration in the atmosphere is closely linked to the worldwide expansion of the human population, since the main sources of emissions, besides enteric fermentation are landfills, fossil fuel use and agricultural practices. Thus, the objective of this review was to present the scientific literature about the production of methane bound to ruminants and to design modulatory mechanisms that allow the production of these animals with high production levels and low emission of this gas.

Use of VR Headsets in Education: A Systematic Review Study
Authors: ÇANKAYA Serkan
Published: January 2019

In recent years, it can be said that the use of new virtual reality related technologies increased swiftly. Especially virtual reality headsets have become an important device in virtual reality and augmented reality applications. As a consequence of these developments, researchers started to investigate the use of virtual reality headsets in many fields. In this respect, the purpose of this study is to perform a systematic review with content analysis on the articles about the use of VR headsets in education in the Scopus database between 2014 and 2019. A total of 49 related article were found and examined to determine the major topics, research methods/models, most cited papers, data collection tools, participants and variables in these articles. Because no systematic review study has been conducted on this topic in literature, the study is considered to be important. As a result, it was found that the number of studies about the use of virtual reality headsets in education tends to increase by year. In addition, it was seen that quantitative methods as research methods, undergraduate students as participants, and pretest-posttests as data collection tools were the most favored ones. Besides, it was found that usability and experience were the most preferred dependent variables.

Authors: Todor I N , Lukianova N Yu , Shvets Yu V , Lozovska Yu V , Chekhun V F
Published: January 2019

Aim: To study indices of energy metabolism, content of K+ and Mg++ both in peripheral blood and in Walker-256 carcinosarcoma during development of resistance to doxorubicin. Methods: Resistance of Walker-256 carcinosarcoma to doxorubicin has been developed through 12 subsequent transplantations of tumor after the chemotherapy. Parental strain was inhibited by drug by 65%, while transitional resistant substrains — by 30% and 2%, respectively. Determination of biochemical indices in blood serum and homogenates of tumor tissue, level of potassium, magnesium, lactate, glucose, activities of lactate dehydrogenase and glucose6-phosphate dehydrogenase was performed with the help of biochemical and immune-enzyme analyzer GBG ChemWell 2990 (USA) using standard kits. Polarography was used to determine indices of mitochondrial oxidative phosphorylation. Study of mitochondrial membrane potential was carried out on flow cytometer Beckman Coulter Epics XL using dye JC-1. Results: It has been determined that development of drug resistance causes the decrease of K+, Mg++, glucose content in blood serum and increase of these indices in tumor tissue. At the same time, gradual tumor’s loss of sensitivity is characterized by decrease of glycolysis activity in it and activation of mitochondrial oxidative phosphorylation and pentose phosphate pathway of glucose degradation, which causes more intensive formation of NADPH. Conclusion: Development of drug resistance of tumor causes certain metabolic changes in organism and tumor. Further study of such changes will make possible to determine tumor and extratumor markers of resistance.
REDOX-REGULATION OF GELATINASES DURING GROWTH OF CISPLATIN-SENSITIVE AND RESISTANT GUERIN CARCINOMA
Authors: Burlaka A P , Ganusevich I I , Lozovska Yu V , Lukianova N Yu , Chekhun V F
Published: January 2019

Study was aimed to analyze the dynamics of changes and study interrelations between content of ferritin, transferrin, active gelatinas es (MMP-2 and -9) in blood serum and tumor tissue, free iron, rate of superoxide radicals generation in tumor, activity of NADPH-oxidase and iNOS in neutrophils rats with sensitive and resistant strains of Guerin carcinoma (GC). Materials and Methods: In order to obtain resistant tumor, 12 courses of cisplatin chemotherapy have been carried out on rats bearing GC. Levels of transferrin and free iron were determined by analysis of EPR spectra from computerized radiospectrometer EPR R E-1307 at temperature of liquid nitrogen. Rate of superoxide radicals and nitric oxide generation in tumor and neutrophils of blood was determined by EPR using spin traps at room temperature. Content of ferritin in tumor homogenate and blood serum of rats with GC was determined by ELISA method using corresponding kits. Concentration of active forms of MMP-2 and -9 in obtained samples was determined using method of zymography. Results: Unregulated generation of superoxide radicals and NO by mitochondria of tumor cells and NADPH-oxidase and iNOS neutrophils via oxidation of iron-containing proteins causes the accumulation of “free iron” complexes in blood and tumor tissue of rats able to evoke oxide-induced damages of macromolecules. It has been shown that for resistant strain of carcinoma, as compared with sensitive one, significantly higher concentrations of active forms of MMP-2 and -9 in blood serum of rats are typical. Dynamics of gelatinases activity changes in tumor tissue corresponds in general with dynamics of changes in serum. In tumor tissue of rats the indices of gelatinases activity positively correlate with rate of superoxide radicals generation, content of “free iron” complexes, ferritin and activity of transferrin. Cytostatic agent increased levels of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and self-amplify rate of superoxide radicals generation. In turn, activation of MMPs via superoxide-depending regulation allows tumor cells to facilitate migration, invasion and finally — formation of metastatic centers. Mentioned above tumor “oxide phenotype” determines high level of its aggressiveness and forms corresponding level of drug resistance. Conclusions: Thus, high levels of superoxide radicals oxidize transport proteins and form free iron pool. Iron ions, via Haber — Weiss mechanism, initiate generation of the hydroxyl radicals, which also enhance oxidation processes.
PECULIARITIES OF DNA DAMAGE CAUSED BY EXOGENOUS NITRIC OXIDE COMBINED WITH FRACTIONATED LOW DOSE IONIZING RADIATION IN NORMAL AND TUMOR CELLS
Authors: Muzalov I I , Mikhailenko V M
Published: January 2019

The aim of this study was to investigate the reaction of normal and tumor cells to genotoxic effect of widespread environmental factors — exogenous nitric oxides and ionizing radiation. Methods: The animals were treated with NO (125 mg/m3) and low dose ioni zing radiation (10 acute exposures with 0.1 Gy each). Genotoxicity was estimated in vivo in rats peripheral blood lymphocytes, bone marrow cells and tumor cells of Guerin carcinoma. DNA damages were assessed by alkaline single-cell gel electrophoresis. Results: Exogenous nitric oxides as well as irradiation caused significant increase of DNA damage in all types of investigated cells. The genotoxic effect increased in the order: peripheral blood lymphocytes < bone marrow cells < Guerin carcinoma cells. The greatest genotoxic effect was registered in Guerin carcinoma cells on terminal phase of tumor growth in rats exposed to NO and low dose ionizing radiation. Conclusions: Long-term exposure to common environmental factors (exogenous nitric oxides and ionizing radiation) capable to induce DNA damage in diffe rent cells. Severity of the genotoxic effect depends on cell type and nature of impacting factors. NO caused more significant DNA damage than low dose ionizing radiation but the highest level of DNA damage was observed after their joint action. Obtained results confirm the real threat of cancer risk increase under combined action of common environmental factors of different nature.

Philosophy of Interior Design in Mughal Era Mosques of Lahore: A case study of Maryam Zamani and Wazir Khan Mosques
Authors: Hashmi Arsala
Published: January 2019

A great reflection and convergence of Persian, Turkish and Indian architecture is observed in Mughal architecture, which is known as a remarkably symmetrical and decorative amalgamation of these architectures. Muslim and non-Muslim scholars of history have appreciated, identified and recognized the extremely attractive Mughal signs, decorations and beautifications. It has been observed that Mughal architecture is not limited and specified to mosques only but has been used in all other Islamic buildings including their gardens. These signs and decorations have combined different features, elements and components of Islamic architecture and art together. Mughal era has been known as the greatest era which defined the splendid and extravagant phase of Islamic architecture. Therefore, the basic purpose of this paper is to find out how these features and decorations of Mughal architecture used in mosques stem from Islamic principles. The basic aim is to conduct the semiotic analysis of two mosques of Mughal era which have been selected for examination and identification. Hence, this study outlines the importance and scope of Mughal mosque architecture. It examines the decorative style used in this architecture by scrutinizing the basic characteristics of its structure. Moreover, it discovers the real purpose and spiritual meaning of these mosques. The spiritual values are considered significant as they influence the spirit that brings harmony in life. Throughout the Islamic world, this spiritual aspect has been observed as the most dominant factor and element which gives an important underlying message to all Islamic art. Mughals have played a significant role in Islamic art which cannot be ignored and avoided. The findings indicate that the typical Mughal mosques are not just mere representation of religious buildings or places for worship, instead they are something more than that. These mosques have their spiritual connection with art and architecture which cannot be ignored. Their color, shape, volume, texture, and designs all offer the fundamental message of Islam, the incarnation of “peace” and “submission” from which Mughal mosques derive their uniqueness in architecture.
Die Entwicklung der Krisentheorie bei Marx (1)
Authors: Itoh Makoto
Published: January 2019

Die Krise auf dem kapitalistischen Weltmarkt 1975 wäre Anlaß genug, die Diskussion um dieWeiterentwicklung der Marxschen Krisentheorie aufzunehmen und weiterzutreiben. Geht esdoch darum, den teils höchst eklektizistischen Krisenerklärungen in der bürgerlichen Öffentlichkeiteine materialistische Erklärung der widerspruchsvollen Bewegung der bürgerlichen Gesellschaft - als deren Gipfelpunkt eben die allgemeine Krise sich darstellt - entgegenzuhalten, die die Krise als Moment des Verlaufs der kapitalistischen Produktionsweise entwickelt. Eine Veröffentlichung des Artikels von M. Itoh über die Entwicklung der Marxschen Krisentheorie ist aber auch deshalb sinnvoll, weil in der Bundesrepublik die Diskussion um die Marxsche Krisentheorie (z.B. mit den Arbeiten von Bader et al.* und Künzel**) einen Punkt erreicht hat, der über die bloße Rezeption der Elemente einer Krisentheorie bei Marx hinausweist. Obwohl wir einzelne Punkte in Itohs Aufsatz kritisch sehen - diese Diskussion solite in der Prokla fortgeführt werden, zu der auch unsere Leser hier aufgefordert werden - meinen wir, daß diese Veröffentlichung einen sinnvollen Beitrag innerhalb dieser Diskussion darstellen kann. Insbesondere dürfte der Versuch Itohs, die verschiedenen Stadien der Entwicklung der Krisentheorie bei Marx auszumachen und - im Schlußteil - den Zusamme.nhang von Überakkumulation und Überproduktion im Zyklus und die Vermittlung des Kreditzyklus mit dem industriellen Zyklus darzustellen, für die Diskussion bei uns von Bedeutung sein. Die Übersetzung aus dem Englischen war deshalb sehr schwierig, weil das englische Manuskript (erschienen im Bulletin of the Conference of Socialist Economists February 1975) selbst eine Übersetzung des Verfassers aus dem Japanischen war; diese Übersetzungsschwierigkeiten spiegeln sich sicherlich noch im folgenden Text wieder. Soweit sich der Originalartikel auf die japanische Diskussion bezog, die - für den deutschen Leser - nicht in einem unmittelbaren Zusammenhang mit der Argumentation des Verfassers stand, haben wir Kürzungen vorgenommen. Die Marxschen Schriften werden nach der MEW-Ausgabe zitiert.
Am Beispiel OSRAM-Westberlin - Betriebspolitik zwischen Prosperität und Krise
Authors: Kollektiv Autoren
Published: January 2019

Die Vertrauensleutewahlen 1973 fanden im OSRAM-Werk Spandau nicht wie in anderen Metall-Betrieben im Frühjahr, sondern wegen des Umzugs in ein neues Werk und den damit verbundenen Veränderungen in den Abteilungen erst am 5. und 6. November statt. Die Situation im Werk war damals völlig anders als heute (1975):1. Die allgemeine wirtschaftliche Lage war noch ungetrübt von Auftragsund Arbeitsmangel. Die Produktion lief auf Hochtouren, ständig wurden neue Leute eingestellt, Überstunden waren auf der Tagensordnung, das Motto regierte: „Wir brauchen jede Lampe", und das besonders, weil nach dem Umzug noch nicht alles nach Wunsch lief. Trotzdem wurden selbst nötige Reparaturen möglichst lange hinausgezögert, um kurzfristig höhere Stückzahlen zu erzielen. Neue Gruppenschichten wurden aufgebaut, bis an fast allen Fertigungslinien in Wechselschicht gearbeitet wurde.2. Der 8,5% Abschluß vom Januar 73, die unmittelbar danach einsetzende Preis-Welle, die tägliche Erfahrung, daß OSRAM mehr Lampen brauchte als wir produzieren konnten, brachten im Zusammenhang mit der Verschlechterung der Arbeitsbedingungen durch den Umzug Unzufriedenheit und steigende Kampfbereitschaft in der Belegschaft hervor.
National unterschiedliche Produktionsbedingungen als Schranke einer gewerkschaftlichen Internationalisierung
Authors: Hildebrandt Eckart , Olle Werner , Schoeller Wolfgang
Published: January 2019

Die gewerkschaftliche Diskussion über multinationale Konzerne, die Anfang der Süer Jahre in den USA entstanden ist, und seit Mitte der 60er Jahre auch von den westeuropäischen Gewerkschaften aufgegriffen wird, hat - zumindest vorübergehend - zu einer euphorischen Beurteilung der Möglichkeiten einer gewerkschaftlichen Internationalisierung geführt. Einer solchen Euphorie liegt die Annahme zugrunde, daß durch den Prozeß der ,Internationalisierung des Kapitals' in Gestallt der multinationalen Konzerne erstmals in der Geschichte des Kapitalismus objektive Bedingungen für eine Überwindung der nationalen Fraktionierung der Gewerkschaftsbewegung gegeben seien. ,,Die objektiven Voraussetzungen sind gegeben: sie sind viel weiter ausgereift als die subjektiven Bedingungen .... Die Schwierigkeiten sind hauptsächlich bei den Gewerkschaften zu suchen ... " (1 ). Eine derartige Reduktion der Frage nach den Möglichkeiten und Grenzen einer internationalen Gewerkschaftspolitik auf ein bloßes „Nachlaufspiel" (2) der Gewerkschaften, in dem es für diese nur noch darum gehe, politisch-rechtlich nachzuholen, was durch die ökonomische Entwicklung bereits vollzogen sei, ist unserer Auffassung nach in mehrerer Hinsicht problematisch.
Engels und das Problem der Naturdialektik
Authors: Dudek Peter
Published: January 2019

Seit ihren ersten Anfängen bereitete der marxistischen Bewegung das Problem der Naturwissenschaften, ihrer Denkform, ihres absoluten Wahrheits- und Objektivitätsanspruches - aus ihren formalen, scheinbar ahistorisch und Allgemeingültigkeit reklamierdenden Methoden und Resultaten abgeleitet - etliche Bauchschmerzen. Von diesen Bauchschmerzen werden aktuell und wohl noch in näherer Zukunft all jene Genossen befallen werden, die in naturwissenschaftlich-technischen Bereichen - an Hochschulen, TH's oder den Arbeitsbereichen der technisch-wissenschaftlichen Intelligenz - sich an der Kritik der „bürgerlichen Naturwissenschaften" versuchen, aus dieser ihre praktische Politik bestimmen resp. diese Kritik selbst ins Zentrum ihrer Politik stellen. Denn auf einer ersten Ebene erweist sich das, was kritisiert werden soll, als augenscheinlich funktionstüchtig und erfolgreich; dagegen muß das, was kritikfest sein könnte, seine Funktionsfähigkeit noch unter Beweis stellen.
Diskussion: Sozialismus, natürlich! Aber welchen?
Authors: Dingel Frank
Published: January 2019

Die nachfolgenden Thesen sind im Rahmen von Diskussionen innerhalb der Sozialistischen Assistentenzelle am Fachbereich 15 der Freien Universität Berlin entstanden. Dies erklärt sowohl eine bestimmte Aktzentsetzung als auch die poliitische Absicht. Unmittelbarer Anlaß für die Abfassung des Papiers war die Kontroverse um eine mögliche Wahlempfehlung für die DKP bei den letzten Bundestagswahlen. Dabei zeigte sich m. E., daß es nicht angeht, die DKP als ein alle vier Jahre zur Wahlzeit auftauchendes taktisches Problem anzusehen, sondern daß man sich mit ihrer Politik und dem dahinterstehenden Sozialismus bild prinzipiell auseinandersetzen muß. Eine Auseinandersetzung mit der DKP schien mir auch deshalb nötig, weil die DKP resp. die SEW von einer ganz bestimmten Art der „Revisionismuskritik" profitiert, nämlich von der Kritik, die von den sog. ,,K-Gruppen" an DKP/SEW geübt wird. Die Irrationalität dieser Kritik - mit Stalin gegen Mauer und Stacheldraht - und die offene Gewalttätigkeit, mit der diese Gruppen gegen konkurrierende sozialistische Gruppen vorgehen -,- es sei hier nur an die terroristische Sprengung einer GlM-Veranstaltung in West-Berlin durch den KSV erinnert - haben manche Genossen veranlaßt, in der DKP/SEW nicht nur das geringere Übel, sondern tatsächlich eine sozialistische Alternative zu sehen. Die Ausweisung des Genossen Biermann aus der DDR hat diese Hoffnung stark erschüttert und es steht zu befürchten, daß viele die sozialistische Orientierung aufgeben werden, weil immer undeutlicher wird, was Sozialismus eigentlich ist. In diesem Beitrag soll ein Versuch gemacht werden, diese Frage zu klären. Dies soll jedoch keineswegs in der Art geschehen, daß endgültige Einsichten präsentiert werden. Vielmehr soll die Diskussion durch die Kritik an herrschenden ideologischen Vorstellungen und dem daraus abgeleiteten praktischen Verhalten erst provoziert werden.

The research on feeding effectivity of arfak rainbowfish conducted at Fisheries Laboratory, Faculty of Fishes and Marine Scince, University of Papua in July to December 2016. The purpose of this research is to describe feeding effectivity of the fish at several levels of water turbidity. The fish samples used in the treatment, collected from Nimbai Stream, Prafi River system, Manokwari were acclimatized for a month in the laboratory. The fish were selected based on the body length and categorized into six size classes. Each individual of the fish was treated with 200 individuals of mosquito larvae (instar IV stage) at seven turbidity levels (2.54, 25.07, 50.52, 100.20, 500.60, and 800.40 Nephelome-tric Turbidity Unit, NTU) using particles with size of <63um. Feeding effectivity was indicated by the level of preda-tion in a period of 15 minutes. The results of the research showed that average level of predation did not differ among size classes at the low level of turbidity (<50,52 NTU). The significant decrease in the average level of predation occurred at the higher level of turbidity (<100,12 NTU) with the values range from 23.2% to 65.9%. This indicated a decrease in the feeding effectivity as the turbidity levels increase. AbstrakPenelitian efektivitas ikan pelangi arfak dalam mencari makan dilaksanakan di Laboratorium Perikanan FPIK Univer-sitas Papua pada bulan Juli sampai Desember 2016.

Syzygium cumini has been used in folk medicine to treat many diseases. To establish the potential medicinal value of leaves of S. cumini, the current study was carried out to assess the peripheral analgesic and anti-diarrheal activities in mice model. The crude methanol extract and its petroleum ether and chloroform soluble fraction were administered to the experimental mice at a dose of 200- and 400- mg/kg b.w. (denoted as CME1, CME2, PESF1, PESF2, CLSF1 and CLSF2 respectively) using acetic acid induced writhing method and castrol oil induced anti-diarrheal assay protocol. The extract and its Kupchan fractions exhibited significant (p < 0.001) reduction of writhing response in a dose dependent manner. In the acetic acid-induced writhing test, the activity decreased in the order diclofenac (75.33%) > PESF2 (70.33%) > CME2 (67.00%) > PESF1 (64.00%) > CLSF2 (61.33%) > CME1 (56.67%) >CLSF1 (48.67%). All the fractions significantly (p < 0.001) attenuated anti-diarrheal effect in a dose dependent manner with the highest activity observed by CME2 (47.73%) as compared to standard lopeiramide (54.55%). The results of our study, being reported for the first time, provide reasonable indication that the methanol extract of S. cumini leaf and its different fractions possess peripheral analgesic and antidiarrheal activities.

Published: January 2019

Field experiment was conducted in absence and presence of potash and gypsum fertilizers, to compare and investigate the quantity levels of heavy metals and nutrients in leafy vegetables with growth stage and plant species variations, respectively. Seeds of Spinacia oleracia (Spinach), Colocasia esculenta (Taro), Ipoma aquatica (Water spinach), Cucurbita maxima (Pumpkin leaves), Basella alba (Indian spinach), Amaranthus gangeticus (Red amaranth), Coccinia grandis (Ivy gourd), Corchorus olitorius (Jute leaves), Basella rubra (Malabar Spinach), Coriandum sativum (Coriander leaves), Amaranthus lividus (Amaranth) were sown in the experimental filed in Joypurhat district of Bangladesh. The quantity of heavy metals [cadmium (Cd), lead (Pb), nickel (Ni), and zinc (Zn)] and nutrients [sodium (Na), potassium (K) and calcium (Ca)] in vegetables were determined by atomic absorption spectrometer and flame photometer, after the microwave digestion of these vegetables with 70% concentrated HNO3. The quantities of heavy metals were increased with the age of the plant, but the increases were not linear. Moreover, the order of heavy metals level in different vegetables was Zn >Ni >Cd >Pb. The Hazard Quotient (HQ) for Zn, Ni, Cd and Pb were as 0.143, 0.085, 0.1029 and 0.806, respectively. The sequence of HQ for the heavy metals followed the decreasing order Pb >Zn >Cd >Ni. The HQ value for all the heavy metals, Zn, Cd Ni and Pb were less than 1, which is considered safe or indicates no adverse effect on human health.
