The Indian major catfish Wallago attu was successfully bred twice in the same season through hypophysation with carp pituitary hormones. The brood fish fed with goat viscera and flesh of trash fish in farm ponds attained optimum level of maturity. The percentage of fertilization ranged between 28-78. Cannibalistic activity of W. attu spawn was observed even when the spawn was only 24 hold and the rate of cannibalism was high when the stocking density was relatively more but reduced when thinned out. The spawn accepted plankton as food till third day after hatching and thereafter they relished goat liver or viscera.
In the laboratory rearing experiments, the fry of W. attu when fed with goat liver, goat viscera, molluscan flesh and pulped earthworms indicated better growth and survival with goat liver and pulped earthworms. Fry consumed mosquito larvae also.

Misinformation in Humanitarian Programmes
Authors: Leyland Jake , Tiller Sandrine , Bhattacharya Budhaditya 
Published: November 2023

While health misinformation is important to address in humanitarian settings,
over-focusing on it can obfuscate a more holistic understanding of a
community’s needs in a crisis. Through Médecins Sans
Frontières’ experience of deploying a platform to tackle health
misinformation during the COVID-19 pandemic, this field report argues that,
while important, health misinformation became a diversionary topic during
COVID-19, which represented a lack of trust between communities, humanitarian
organisations and health institutions, rather a fundamental obstacle to
effective humanitarian interventions.
From our practitioners’ viewpoint, we reflect on the deployment of the
‘MSF Listen’ platform in our programmes and how it evolved from a
purely misinformation-focused digital tool to a broader workflow and approach to
understanding community needs in crises through accountable management of
community feedback.

Published: November 2023

Aims: Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons (PAHs) in heat-treated meat constitute a global risk to human health. This study determined the concentrations of PAHs in commonly consumed barbecued meat (Suya) in Abuja, Nigeria, and evaluated the health dangers related to their intake.
Methodology: Analysis was performed using gas chromatography-mass spectrometry, while health risks were estimated using models proposed by the European Commission, the European Food Safety Authority, and the United States Environmental Protection Agency.
Results: The results showed different levels of 13 PAHs in meat products, with the highest concentration in barbecued beef. The mean concentrations of individual PAHs ranged from not detected (ND) to 0.220 mg/kg. The total PAH concentrations (mg/kg) in various meat samples were 1.358, 1.031, 0.969, 0.687, and 0.733 for barbecued beef, basted barbecued chicken, non-basted barbecued chicken, control beef, and chicken, respectively. Total carcinogenic PAH levels (mg/kg) were 0.357, 0.281, 0.175, 0.119, and 0.259 for barbecued beef, basted barbecued chicken, non-basted barbecued chicken, control beef, and chicken, respectively. Benzo[a]pyrene (B[a]P) and PAH4 concentrations in barbecued samples were well above the maximum levels stipulated by the European Union, suggesting health risks. But they were undetected in non-basted barbecued chicken. The total daily dietary exposure was higher for barbecued beef compared to barbecued chicken and non-basted barbecued chicken. Hazard quotients and indexes were<1 in all barbecued samples. The margin of exposure (MOE) for the indicators of PAHs in barbecued chicken and non-basted barbecued chicken was greater than 10,000, implying low concern for consumer health. However, the MOEs for (B[a]P) and PAH8 in barbecued beef were less than 10,000, implying that dietary exposure may pose a significant health risk and so require risk management actions.
Conclusion: Basting of meat during barbecuing may increase PAH formation, including carcinogenic PAHs, therefore, vendors should be enlightened on control measures.

Mungbean [Vigna radiata (L.) Wilczek] is the important source of proteins, minerals, and vitamins of the predominantly vegetarian Indian diet. It belongs to the family Leguminaceae. Web blight caused by Rhizoctonia solani (Kuhn) is one of the most important fungal diseases which come every year with different intensity and causes huge losses in mungbean yield. The present investigations were carried out in the laboratory, Department of Plant Pathology Acharya Narendra Deva University of Agriculture and Technology, Kumarganj, Ayodhya to test the efficacy of different treatments viz., Neem, Garlic, Tulsi, onion, Ginger, T. asperellum, T. harzianum, Propiconazole and Hexaconazole against Rhizoctonia solani Kühn under in vitro condition. Botanicals and Fungicides were tested through Poisoned food technique and Bio-agents were tested through dual culture technique. Pathogen was isolated from diseased mungbean plant and further tested against different treatments. Radial growth and percent inhibition were recorded. Minimum radial growth and maximum percent inhibition were recorded in Propiconazole 1.45 mm, followed by Hexaconazole (3.65 mm), Garlic (10.18 mm), Ginger (11.43 mm), Neem (12.90 mm), Onion (15.42 mm), Tulsi (17.63 mm), T. asperellum (18.58 mm), T. harzianum (23.14 mm) as compared to Control (45.17 mm) at 24 hours of incubation. Similar trends were found at 36 and 48 hours intervals.
The Imperatives in Mainstreaming Climate Change Mitigation and Adaptation in Urban Management Practices: African Perspectives
Authors: Oyugi Maurice O. 
Published: November 2023

This paper is anchored on argument that cities contribute to global warming and climate change through the interaction of the urban morphological factors notably; the development density, distribution of land uses, building configuration, nature of the construction materials used in the city and the amount of vegetation within the city, the utility of public transportation, vehicular traffic volume, industrialisation and energy consumption in the city, all of which influence the occurrence of urban heat island effects and greenhouse gas emissions to compromise the air quality and surface temperatures. Therefore, urbanisation is a significant factor contributing to global warming and climate change, leading to heightened drought and flood prevalence, heat waves, sea level rise, increased pest invasions, disease incidences, food insecurity and occurrences of extreme weather events. This is likely to lead to population displacement with the hosts being urban centres already experiencing infrastructure inadequacies. Experience from Africa corroborate that mitigation and adaptation to climate change is a challenge at the urban level due to socioeconomic conditions accentuated by insufficient regional and national assistance rendered to urban authorities. The paper therefore annunciates the African urban climate change mitigation and adaptation scenarios and further discuss the challenges the nations and cities in Africa face in mainstreaming climate change in the national urbanization agenda. To anchor the arguments and to propose strategies for mainstreaming climate change in the urban sustainability agenda, concise review of literature and policy documents on climate change as informed by the urban management practices in Africa is undertaken.

In the case of seed spices, the economic yield of seed is an important factor. Plant yield is a complicated trait that is controlled by a variety of circumstances. The present work was conducted during the Rabi season for two years during 2021-22 and 2022-23 at Research Farm of the Department of Vegetable Science, CCS Haryana Agricultural University, Hisar, Haryana. The study was carried out in a Split-split Plot Design comprising 24 treatments and 3 replications having plot size 3 m × 1.35 m and plant spacing 45 cm × 20 cm. The analysis observed that the number of umbels per plant, number of umbellets per umbel, number of seeds per umbel, and the number of seeds per umbellet were recorded maximum with irrigation scheduled at 1.2 IW/CPE ratio (I4), which was statistically at par with irrigation scheduled at 1.0 IW/CPE ratio (I3). Among nitrogen level, yield parameters and seed yield performed better in N3 (50 kg/ha) than other different levels of nitrogen. Variety HF-143 observed higher number of umbels per plant, number of umbellets per umbel, number of seeds per umbellate, number of seeds per umbel and seed yield kg per hectare. Observed parameters had a direct positive effect on seed yield per hectare at different levels of drip irrigation and nitrogen fertigation on fennel crop.

Published: November 2023

AbstractA gold(I)‐catalyzed intramolecular cascade reaction of tertiary enamides has been developed, which provides a method for the preparation of diverse pyrido[2,1‐a]isoquinoline derivatives with good function group tolerance. Preliminary investigation of the reaction mechanism indicate that this process comprises a nucleophilic addition of the enamide to an alkynyl group, followed by the capture of the acyliminium ion by an electron‐rich aromatic component. Additionally, scale‐up experiments and further transformations of pyrido‐[2,1‐a]isoquinolines underscore the utility of this methodology.

Published: November 2023

AbstractA family of transition metal complexes of meso‐aryl‐2‐aza‐21‐carbaporphyrin (N‐confused porphyrin, NCP) derivatives acting as ortho‐metallating ligands for ruthenium(II), rhodium(III), and iridium(III) is synthesized and characterized by XRD, spectroscopic, and electrochemical methods. The chirality of these systems is shown by the separation of the enantiomers and analyzed by circular dichroism and DFT. A preliminary catalytic study indicates the activity of the iridium(III) ortho‐metallated complexes in the N‐heterocyclization of primary amines with diols.
