Published: August 2022

The simultaneous estimation of Atorvastatin Calcium (ATS) and Olmesartan Medoxomil (OLM) in bulk and pharmaceutical dosage forms, a new, quick, and cost-effective Reverse Phase High Performance Liquid Chromatography (RP-HPLC) method has been developed. The experimental design was used to achieve multivariate optimization of the RP-HPLC experimental conditions. Three independent variables were used to create mathematical models: Acetonitrile content in the mobile phase composition, buffer pH, and flow rate. Here, the applied model was central composite design (CCD) to research the response surface methodology and study the effects of independent factors. The Shimadzu (LC 20 AT VP) HPLC system with Spinchrom software has been used. Zodiac, C18 (250×4.6 ID) 5μm column, phosphate buffers, and acetonitrile were used as mobile phase in the ratio 40:60 v/v with a flow rate 1.15 mL/min. The eluent was monitored at 212 nm using the Prominence UV-Visible detector. The retention time for OLM and ATS was 2.673 and 3.717, respectively. The optimized procedure was validated as per ICH guidelines. The correlation coefficient of OLM and ATS was 0.9869 and 0.9832. The % of recovery was 98.59, 99.68 %. OLM had a LOD of 17.568 μg/mL, while ATS had a LOD of 12.88 μg/mL. OLM had a LOQ of 53.24 μg/mL, while ATS had a LOQ of 39.04 μg/mL. The pH aqueous phase, solvent composition, and flow rate were the most stringent variables affecting the responses, according to the 3D response surface graphs. A new accurate and precise RP-HPLC approach has been developed and validated and used to regularly analyse OLM and ATS.

GRAPHICAL ABSTRACT
Everyday Acts of Design
Authors: Anastassakis Zoy , Busch Otto von , Ávila Martín , DelSesto Matthew , Anastassakis Zoy , Staszowski Eduardo , Martins Marcos , Martins Marcos
Published: August 2022

From 2016-2018, teachers and students at the State University of Rio de Janeiro in Brazil found themselves at the center of a crisis. A new right-wing government suspended payment of staff salaries and student scholarships and stopped funding basic maintenance. Everyday Acts of Design tells the story of how the university’s design school reacted to the crisis: not with despondency or despair, but by promoting a series of radical teaching experiments.

Working together, students, alumni, teachers, and staff embraced hope as a method, demonstrating that it is possible to find positive answers even in a situation of imminent collapse. The case histories narrated in the book provide alternatives to conventional forms of design teaching, but also prove that education can be a site for democracy and the practice of freedom. Deprived of the activity of creating for an imagined future, design can still assert a way forward through practices of making and experimenting. Drawing on their personal experience of designing and teaching design at a time of crisis, the authors assert the value of a design attitude which, in refusing to be delimited by the forethought of designing, insists on a radical, experimental practice as a means of survival.

Although a multitude of voices, both assenting and dissenting, are present in the text, the authors do not hide their own position, making it clear that their stories are not a balanced mosaic of polyphonic positions. The contemporary attack on free public education, fueled by the growth of far-right regimes all over the globe, relies on a totalizing univocal conception of ‘truth’ as a means to shut down a plurality of thinking. Against this, this book adopts the partiality of historical and cultural truths as an urgent and explicit counter-attack. Adopting a consciously international approach,the authors connect and compare their own story with those of similar design teaching movements in the Global South, such as the Barefoot School in India, and ZIVA, founded by Saki Mafunkikwa in Zimbabwe.
Design and the Social Imagination
Authors: DelSesto Matthew
Published: August 2022

How can social theory help us all design solutions to address the social, political and ecological challenges that confront us, and build more sustainable communities?

Design professions have typically been associated with intervention and action, while social science has long been associated with thought and reflection. Design and social thought are too frequently considered distinct in terms of how theories can be applied in practice. Design and the Social Imagination brings together the creative, action-oriented sensibility of design with the reflective, analytical capacities of the social sciences to offer models, ideas and strategies for shaping the future of the world we live in.

In a world of global economic inequality, racism, and environmental degradation, designing with an understanding of our social reality is increasingly crucial to our survival. Matthew DelSesto explores current practices and discourses in areas of urban design, design for social innovation, environmental design, co-design, service design, and more, illustrating how thoughtful design can contribute in a more productive way. Drawing on a range of theory and practice from radical social thinkers C. Wright Mills, Patrick Geddes, Jane Addams and W. E. B. Du Bois, his book shows us how design and the social sciences can interact in order to intervene in the crises we face today.

Objective: To develop and evaluate a relevant and readily accessible post-professional opioid use disorder (OUD) education program for a rural and frontier state.Design: Observational study. Setting/participants: Healthcare providers enrolled in Extension for Community Healthcare Outcomes (ECHO) Idaho Opioid, a tele-mentoring education program.Main outcome measure: Participant-level demographics of those that attended the ECHO Idaho Opioid program and post-session and program evaluation surveys.Results: A total of 273 individuals attended at least one ECHO Idaho Opioid session (per session average = 22.8); 183 post-session evaluations (per session average = 6.3) and 42 program evaluations were completed. The program was well received by providers in a rural and frontier state and may be a viable option to enhance patient care for OUD patients in these communities.Conclusion: The Project ECHO model is successful at reaching providers across diverse geographic regions, overcoming barriers associated with attending advanced trainings or developing peer networks to improve patient care. The model can be used to develop educational content and delivery that participants believe is satisfactory, valuable, and applicable to their profession and practice.

Authors: Saadat, MD, MPH, PhD Soheil , Shah, BS Nikhil , Patel, BS Shivam , Bhargava, MD Rishi , Belisle Haley, MD Campbell , Chakravarthy, MD, MPH Bharath
Published: August 2022

Objective: In this study, we aim to look at opioid prescription patterns in a large pediatric hospital with an emphasis on opioid potency as measured by morphine milligram equivalents (MMEs) to understand physician response to safe prescribing regulations and new research on opioid use in pediatrics.Design: Analgesic prescriptions in a pediatric hospital in California from 2012 to 2016 were included. Prescriptions that contained any type of opioid medication were analyzed total MME in each prescription, and medication prescribed. The MME for each opioid was assigned to the prescription and presented as mean ± standard deviation (SD). Statistical analysis was performed by using IBM SPSS statistics version 25.Setting: A pediatric hospital in California.Participants: All pediatric patients receiving analgesic prescriptions from a single institution between 2012 and 2016.Main outcome measure: Relative frequency of different opioid medications prescribed.Results: Of the 14,194 total opioid prescriptions, hydrocodone (11,247), codeine (2,117), and tramadol (411) were most prescribed. The relative frequency of opioid prescription decreased from 2012 to 2016 due to the decreased prescription of hydrocodone and codeine. Despite the decreased relative frequency of opioid prescription, the mean MME of prescribed opioids increased.Conclusion: The study demonstrated that recent efforts to limit pediatric exposure to opioids have been effective. However, recommendations limiting the use of weak opioids (codeine and tramadol) have caused an increase in average prescribed opioid potency. This may be a contributing factor to the overall increase in opioid-related pediatric hospitalizations. Revision of prescription guidelines for hydrocodone (MME = 1) may protect pediatric patients from unnecessary opioid exposure.
Change of quality of life in patients with chronic pain with prescription opioid usage after opioid detoxification
Authors: Laubner, MD, PhD Student Gabija , Zakarauskaitė, MD Beatričė , Pociuvienė, MD Gabrielė , Tamošauskas, MD Rokas , Badaras, PhD Robertas
Published: August 2022

Background: Managing patients with chronic pain with long-term opioid therapy can be challenging for the prescribers, as the development of treatment complications such as addiction and opioid-induced hyperalgesia has to be considered. There is a paucity of information on the use of opioid detoxification protocols in patients with chronic pain on a long-term opioid therapy who have developed opioid-induced complications. Aim: To determine the effectiveness of detoxification treatment while presenting a different opioid detoxification protocol intended to cease patient's prescription opioid use while assessing patient's quality of life (QoL) changes, implicated by our treatment.Methods: We retrospectively studied 41 patients with chronic pain with long-term prescription opioid usage who underwent elective opioid detoxification in years 2010-2019 at the Toxicology Centre of Republican Vilnius University Hospital. We ceased prescription opioids during detoxification treatment and monitored withdrawal symptoms, pain intensity, and QoL by using SF-36 scores before and right after and a minimum of 3 months after detoxification.Results: This study was fully completed by 14 patients. At the third SF-36 evaluation, 12 out of 14 patients (85.71 percent) reported the detoxification treatment as beneficial to their overall health status compared to that before the treatment, and SF-36 scores after detoxification were significantly higher than before the treatment (p = 0.001). A decreased pain level right after detoxification was indicated by 11 patients (78.6 percent). Significant pain decrease was observed both right after and at least 3 months after the opioid detoxification treatment (p < 0.05).Conclusions: As significant pain reduction, QoL life improvement, and opioid usage cessation were observed after opioid detoxification in the majority of patients with chronic pain, this leads us to believe that such a treatment can be safely administered and appropriated.

Delivering the Vote: Community Politicians and the Credibility of Punishment Regimes in Electoral Autocracies
Authors: McLellan Rachael
Published: August 2022

How do authoritarian regimes punish ordinary opposition voters? I argue that elected community politicians help make "punishment regimes," which discourage opposition support, credible. Strengthened by decentralization reforms, community politicians have information and leverage necessary to identify and punish opposition supporters. When the regime wins community elections, these politicians extend the regime's reach deep into communities. When opposition parties win, their reach is constrained weak- ening their electoral control. Using mixed-methods evidence from Tanzania, I show regime-loyal community politicians use their distributive and legal-coercive powers to "deliver the vote" leading voters in these communities to fear individual reprisals for opposition support. In contrast, voters fear individual punishment in opposition-run communities significantly less. This study demonstrates the importance of local institutions and elections when understanding regime durability.
Urban form and innovation: the case of Cologne
Authors: Curdes G.
Published: August 2022

The physical form of Cologne is examined, principally during the period 1840-1990. The present built-up area is still orientated in relation to the central crossing place in Roman times of the cardo and decumanus. In recent decades the effects on the city core of traffic planning projects have diminished. The macro-spatial structure of the city appears to be largely independent of the aims and actions of individual generations of decision makers.
Research on the Risk Prevention and Control of Integrity in Universities Facing the Modernization of Governance
Authors:   Asia Social Science Academy, Qu Jinshuai
Published: August 2022

Under the background of reform and opening-up, along with the further expansion of our country's college-running mode and school-running process, the powers of most colleges and universities in enrollment and employment, infrastructure improvement, financial management, etc. are too concentrated and their powers are too enlarged. Although this change has effectively improved the teaching quality and teaching ability of domestic universities in a certain sense, in the process of gradual expansion and deepening of power, due to the lack of effective supervision and risk prevention and control, there has been a general phenomenon of power alienation, and corruption cases in universities have remained high and even intensified. By studying the coupling mechanism between governance theory and risk prevention and control of university's integrity, this paper deeply analyzes the present situation and shortcomings of risk prevention and control of university's integrity under the background of governance modernization, and then, combined with the localization practice of risk prevention and control of university's integrity, provides feasible suggestions for risk prevention and control of university's integrity in the fields of governance mechanism, governance network and governance environment.

Pakistan has liberalized Foreign Investment Laws and Policies towards the foreign investors; particularly towards its “Iron-brother”, China. The relation between both countries has reached its indissoluble point where both of the countries are supporting each other with favorable policies. This study examines the impact of CPEC policies and Foreign Investment Law and Policies on economy of Pakistan. The study has conducted a Systematic Literature Review (SLR) and Thematic Analysis (TA) to dive deep in to the literature. It was concluded that investor-friendly policies from the side of Pakistan and the operations of China Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC) have proved to be favorable for the economy of Pakistan. However, consistency in these policies is required to further accelerate the economy.
Analysis the Problem of “Shelling” of Specialized Farmers’ Cooperatives and Its Governing Countermeasures: Take Guizhou Province as an Example
Authors:   Asia Social Science Academy, Wu Jun , Luo Yuxin
Published: August 2022

The problem of “shelling” of specialized farmers’ cooperatives is that farmers’ cooperatives neither insist cooperation essence nor farmer actual participation, and there is no normal operation. The “shelling” problem of farmers’ cooperatives in Guizhou Province is manifested in the three phenomena of “titular form”, “be more in name than in reality” and “unsustainable form”. For the unsustainable farmers’ cooperatives, we can take measures such as improving the organizational structure and management system, exploring joint construction mechanism among the rural credit cooperatives, supply and marketing cooperatives and farmers’ cooperatives, exploring technical services, strengthening the connection of interests and cultivating talent through multiple channels to solve the difficult problems existing in “organization, capital, market, talent, motivation” of the farmers’ cooperatives, achieving the high-quality development.

Nusinersen (Spinraza)
Authors: CADTH
Published: August 2022

CADTH recommends that Spinraza should not be reimbursed by public drug plans for the treatment of patients with type II and type III 5q spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) regardless of ambulatory status if initiated in patients older than 18 years of age.

No randomized clinical trials evaluating the efficacy or safety of Spinraza in treatment-naïve adult patients with type II or type III SMA have been conducted.

Evidence from 4 observational studies generally suggested that treatment with Spinraza may improve or maintain physical abilities; however, due to the limitations of these studies, it was not possible to conclude that the improvement or maintenance in physical function including movement or strength were a result of Spinraza.

There is a need for treatments in adult patients with type II and type III SMA that stabilize disease progression, including the avoidance of using machines to help breathing, improve strength in the upper limbs, and improve health-related quality of life (HRQoL). However, the evidence reviewed did not show that Spinraza would meet any of these needs.
First evidence of UHP in the Lago Superiore Unit (Monviso, Western Alps)
Authors: Ghignone Stefano , Scaramuzzo Emanuele , Gilio Mattia , Bruno Marco , Livio Franz , Alvaro Matteo
Published: August 2022

The first occurrence of ultra-high-pressure (UHP) metamorphism in the Western Alps was documented by Chopin in 1984 (Chopin, 1984) with the discovery of coesite in the southern Dora Maira massif. Since then, just one additional UHP terrain was discovered until the end of the 90’s. In recent times, new occurrences of coesite have been reported in different units of the Western Alpine belt, widening the distribution of UHP terrains, with important tectonic implications. Here, we report the first discovery of coesite in the meta-ophiolitic suite of the Monviso Massif, in the northern Lago Superiore Unit (LSU). Previous petrographic studies and thermodynamic modelling in the area suggested that these alpine units may have experienced UHP metamorphism, but no direct evidences (i.e., coesite occurrence) have been reported to date.  The presence of coesite is demonstrated by µ-Raman analyses. The Raman spectra show the typical peaks of coesite, slightly shifted towards higher wavenumbers. The main peak is located at 522 cm–1, and the secondary peaks at 426, 270 and 178 cm–1. Coesite inclusions consist of intact single crystals (10-60 µm) hosted by garnet, without evidence for re-equilibration features. Typical coesite-related features such as radial cracks in garnet host mineral and palisade texture are present in large polycrystalline quartz inclusions (>80 µm). Peak metamorphic conditions have been constrained through different techniques (detailed garnet inclusion analysis, elastic geobarometry and thermodynamic modelling).

The occurrence of UHP terrains along the Western Alps is becoming more common than expected. Our results, alongside with the novel evidence for UHP in the Western Alps, will lead to new tectonic models for the subduction and exhumation of UHP terrains, constraining the evolution of subduction-accretionary systems.

Crustal structure in the eastern Alps from ambient-noise tomography
Authors: Kästle Emanuel ,   AlpArray Working Group
Published: August 2022

Since the onset of continental collision in the eastern Alps, several large-scale reorganizations have affected the crustal structure, such as Adriatic indentation, eastward extrusion or the Tauern window exhumation. This work aims to improve the understanding of the tectonic history of the region, by providing a new shear-velocity model of the eastern Alpine crust. It makes use of data from the AlpArray and the dense SwathD networks from which phase velocities are measured. These are inverted in a two-step approach based on a Markov-Chain Monte Carlo sampler to obtain the model structure and its uncertainties. The shallow structure is well correlated with the major faults in the area. Additional information from the anisotropy at mid to lower crustal levels is interpreted in terms of the strain direction. Eastward orientated fast axis are observed at a large depth range in the central part of the mapped region. This may indicate that the eastward extrusion affects all crustal levels down to Moho depths. The mapped features are compared to previous works from local earthquake tomography and receiver functions to provide a joint interpretation of the crustal structure.

Abstract. Ice losses from the Greenland and Antarctic Ice Sheets have accelerated since the 1990s, accounting for a significant increase in global mean sea level. Here, we present a new 29-year record of ice sheet mass balance from 1992 to 2020 from the Ice Sheet Mass Balance Inter-comparison Exercise (IMBIE). We compare and combine 50 independent estimates of ice sheet mass balance derived from satellite observations of temporal changes in ice sheet flow, in ice sheet volume and in Earth’s gravity field. Between 1992 and 2020, the ice sheets contributed 21.0 ± 1.9 mm to global mean sea-level, with the rate of mass loss rising from 105 Gt yr-1 between 1992 and 1996 to 372 Gt yr-1 between 2016 and 2020. In Greenland, the rate of mass loss is 169 ± 9 Gt yr-1 between 1992 and 2020 but there are large inter-annual variations in mass balance with mass loss ranging from 86 Gt yr-1 in 2017 to 444 Gt yr-1 in 2019 due to large variability in surface mass balance. In Antarctica, ice losses continue to be dominated by mass loss from West Antarctica (-82 ± 9 Gt yr-1) and to a lesser extent from the Antarctic Peninsula (-13 ± 5 Gt yr-1). East Antarctica remains close to a state of balance (3 ± 15 Gt yr-1), but is the most uncertain component of Antarctica’s mass balance.

We study a Bose-Einstein condensate of ultracold atoms subject to a non-Hermitian spin-orbit coupling, where the system acquires the non-Hermitian skin effect under the interplay of spin-orbit coupling and laser-induced atom loss. The presence of the non-Hermitian skin effect is confirmed through its key signatures in terms of the spectral winding under the periodic boundary condition, the accumulation of eigen wavefunctions at boundaries under an open boundary condition, and bulk dynamics signaled by a directional flow. We show that bulk dynamics, in particular, serves as a convenient signal for experimental detection. The impact of interaction and trapping potentials is also discussed based on the non-Hermitian Gross-Pitaevskii equations. Our work demonstrates that the non-Hermitian skin effect and its rich implications in topology, dynamics, and beyond are well within the reach of current cold-atom experiments.

A three-dimensional elastic carbon nanotube aerogel is fabricated via a simple solution-based strategy using Te nanowires as templates, which can be recycled. The pipe diameter and wall thickness of the carbon nanotube are strongly dependent on the diameter of the Te nanowires and carbon source. The obtained free-standing carbon nanotube aerogel with a large specific surface area (up to 1865 m2∙g-1) is promising as an electrode material for supercapacitors. After combination with MnO2, the capacitor exhibits a specific capacitance of 360.4 F∙g-1 at a current of 1 A∙g-1 and retention of 97% after 2000 cycles. The high power capabilities and good stability make it a promising candidate as an electrode for supercapacitors.

The COVID-19 pandemic is the defining global health crisis of our time and the greatest challenge we are facing. Quarantine is the separation and restriction of movement of people who have potentially been exposed to a contagious disease to ascertain if they become unwell, so reducing the risk of them infecting others.5 This definition differs from isolation, which is the separation of people who have been diagnosed with a contagious disease from people who are not sick; however, the two terms are often used interchangeably, especially in communication with the public. Objective: The objective of the study was to assess the lived-in experiences of the family members under quarantine during the pandemic of COVID-19 in order to get a baseline data to plan a family care. Methods: A Qualitative phenomenological approach was used for the study .10 samples were selected by using convenient sampling method .Study was conducted from different districts of Kerala through online platform. Result: From the study it is evident that The majority of the samples were females (90%). Majority (70%) belongs to the age between 20-45. Among the physical dimension a vast majority had minor gastric problems. In psychological dimension the majority of them had fear as a chief problem. In social dimension the, majority of sample gave importance to social support system. In Spiritual dimension majority of the people had theism. In Economical dimension major themes like majority of the sample were financial dependent. Conclusion: This study provides a baseline for lived-in experiences of the family members under quarantine during the pandemic of COVID-19 in order to get a baseline data to plan a family care.
Stress and its Management - A Review
Authors: B. S. Usha
Published: August 2022

We must all learn to cope with stress because we will all be exposed to it at some point in our lives. Physical disease, psychological illness, strained personal relationships, poor work-life balance, and an inability to cope with daily routines are just a few of the negative repercussions for those who are unable to cope with stress and employ appropriate stress-management tactics. A person's natural equilibrium condition is disrupted in a stressful circumstance. Everyone is subjected to stress at some point in their lives, whether at job, school, college, or even at home. Recognize the source/situation of stress and solve it as soon as possible to live a safe and happy life1.

An optimization-based study of the impact of different parameters on dna degradation

Published: August 2022

Human remains exposed to various conditions throughout time are frequently utilized for DNA analysis of tissue or bone for identification reasons. The deterioration and loss of DNA in particular environmental settings have previously created a dilemma for investigators. The post-mortem interval (PMI) or time since death is sometimes the most sought-after piece of information in a medical death investigation. Based on the discovery that DNA degradation has a disproportionate effect on the analysis of bigger genetic loci in particular studies, it was postulated that DNA degradation as a result of autolysis or putrefaction might be useful as a possible rate-of-change indicator of PMI. As a sample, goat liver tissue was used. It was incubated in three testing factors, namely pH, salt content, and sugar concentration, and was compared to a control sample that had not been incubated in any of these parameters. The samples were incubated for 24, 48, and 72 hours. An appropriate Lysis Buffer was used to isolate the DNA. Following the isolation of the DNA, quantitative analysis was performed in a UV-Visible Spectrophotometer (for both the control and incubated samples), followed by Agarose Gel Electrophoresis. It was discovered that the data provided by these studies, taken as a whole, show that we can give information relevant for calculating the post-mortem interval, mostly within the first 72 hours following death. Later, it was decided to use Response Surface Methodology (RSM) to optimize the parameters we had picked, with the BBD design model being the favoured choice. This was done with the help of software named, Design-Expert v11. A Fit Summary that showed a linear model fit for the data. ANOVA was used to generate an equation that may be used to quantify the amount of DNA present in a tissue sample that has been exposed to a specific value of pH, salt concentration, and sugar concentration. Finally, a 3-D response surface curve was produced, two factors at a time, to highlight the variance in DNA loss when those two parameters are taken into account.

Studies on contaminant bioaccumulation in tropical mangrove ecosystems are very limited. An attempt has been made to assess sources of primary productivity and chemical bioaccumulation behavior in true and associated mangrove plants, water, and sediments from the Pichavaram Mangrove Ecosystem. The water, sediment, and plant materials were collected at 7 different locations and the samples were analyzed to determine the concentration of heavy metals using a flame atomic absorption spectrophotometer. The result reviles that the maximum lead concentrations of 5.48 ppm/g were accumulated in sediment samples collected from shrimp pond effluent and 4.26 ppm/l from water during post-monsoon. The maximum Zinc concentration of 12.34 ppm/g was observed in sediment samples collected from degraded mangrove forests during post-monsoon and 10.99 ppm/g was observed in sediment samples during the summer season. Higher heavy metals concentration was observed during spring and summer this may be due to increased biological activities, land runoff and rainfall during these seasons. The maximum Copper concentration 9.07 ppm/g was observed in sediment at degraded mangrove forest during post-monsoon and 8.16 ppm/g was observed in sediment during the summer season. Heavy metals concentrations in different parts of A. marina mangrove plants were analyzed. In leaf sample, Pb 5.44 ppm/g in shrimp pond effluent site,  Cd 4.97 ppm/g in degraded site, Zn 4.43 ppm/g in degrading site,  Cr 2.17 ppm/g in Freshwater zone at Vellar, Hg 1.68 ppm/g in shrimp pond effluent site, Cu 0.86 ppm/g in Freshwater zone at Upannar was recorded. In stem sample Pb 6.89 ppm/g and Zn 5.67 ppm/g in the degraded site, Cd 5.27 ppm/g in the natural site, Hg 4.91 ppm/g in degrading, Cr 2.49 ppm/g and Cu 0.87 ppm/g in Freshwater zone at Upannar was recorded. In Avicennia roots, Cr 10.89 ppm/g in shrimp pond effluent, Pb 10.17 ppm/g in natural site, Cd 6.89 ppm/g in freshwater zone at Vellar, Zn 6.86 ppm/g in degrading mangrove site, Hg 5.48 ppm/g in degraded site, Cu 0.92 ppm/g in backwater mouth was recorded. Heavy metals contamination was observed in almost all the samples in higher concentrations. The results indicate that Avicennia marina have a greater potential to observe and accumulate higher concentration than associated mangroves. A. marina plant can be used for phytoremediation to remove the heavy metals from the mangrove ecosystem and will help for ecological studies, conservation and sustainable management of the mangrove habitats.
