The environment as a place where living things live has undergone significant changes which have resulted in a decrease in environmental quality. The level of students' understanding and awareness of the environment greatly influences the existing environmental conditions. However, the fact is that environmental knowledge possessed by students has not been fully applied in their environment. This study aimed to ascertain the relationship between students' environmental knowledge and environmental attitudes. This study employed a survey method with a correlational design for its research. Class X MIPA students from SMA Negeri 1 Banyuputih comprised the entire study population. The technique of sampling employed is saturated sampling. The data collection technique is by using a questionnaire on environmental knowledge and environmental attitudes which contains statements based on a Likert score. Students' environmental knowledge correlated with their environmental care attitude, with a Sig. 0.00 < 0.05.

This research aims to ascertain how students' critical thinking skills change after being exposed to Problem-Based Learning (PBL). This study employs a quantitative methodology using quasi-experiments. Non-equivalent control groups were employed in this study. The population included 246 students from seven different classes at IPA SMA Negeri 1 Mamasa, who were all in grade XI. This research used a purposive sample of 36 students from the PBL class and 36 students from the control class. The t-test and the Mann-Whitney test were used to analyze the data in this investigation. The t-test results showed that the students' pretest was different (sig. <0.05), so the posttest t-test also showed a difference (sig. <0.05). The Mann-Whitney N-gain test was used to find out whether PBL had a statistically significant impact. The Mann-Whitney test found that the students' critical thinking had improved if the significance level (Sig. of N-gain) was less than 0.05. This study provides evidence that PBL may improve students' critical skills.

Published: June 2023

Textile industries are hailed as one of the major environmental polluters in the world, owing to their release of undesirable dye effluents. Synthetic dyes do not adhere to fabric firmly and are released into the aquatic ecosystem as effluent. Consequently, the consistent release of wastewater from numerous textile industries without previous treatment has detrimental effects on the ecosystem and human health. Treatment methods currently being used fail to degrade the dye effluents and have their own shortcomings. Immobilized nanoparticles have been extensively studied for dye remediation because of their many advantages over conventional methods. The present study aimed to compare the efficiency of two different carrier matrices [namely Poly(vinylidene fluoride) and Polyurethane] for iron nanoparticle and their decolorization activity on an azo dye (RED ME4BL). Scanning Electron Microscopy was carried out to show the deposition of iron nanoparticles on the membrane. The reaction kinetics of the bare nanoparticles were compared with that of the immobilized nanoparticles, and all were found to follow pseudo-second-order kinetics. Polyurethane immobilized iron nanoparticles showed a significant degradation of RED ME4bl than the Poly(vinylidene fluoride) immobilized iron and bare nanoparticles. This paper also demonstrates a relatively newer method for nanoparticle immobilisation using the synthetic polyurethane form.

Authors: Punia Harish , Jakhar Somveer 
Published: June 2023

The concept of functional diversity is critical in the field of forest ecology as it helps determine trends in community structure and worldwide change by examining variations in functional traits among plants. Functional traits like leaf traits, stem traits, root traits etc., are characteristics of a species that incorporate its ecological and evolutionary history and can be used to predict both its response and impact on ecosystem function. During the present study, six functional leaf traits viz., leaf size (LS), specific leaf area (SLA), leaf dry matter content (LDMC), leaf nitrogen content (LNC), leaf phosphorus content (LPC), and leaf nitrogen to phosphorus ratio (N:P) were evaluated for a variety of trees and shrubs in the forests of semi-arid regions of Haryana, India i.e., Site I-Dulana (Mahendergarh), Site II-Kheri Batter (Charkhi Dadri) and Site III-Asalwas Dubia (Bhiwani). Functional leaf trait values showed a significant variation. LS was reported to be positively correlated with SLA(0.39) and N:P(0.11) while negatively correlated with LDMC(-0.26) LNC(-0.29) and LPC(-0.16). The selected plant species displayed a negative but weak correlation between SLA and LNC(-0.05) whilst a strong positive correlation between Nitrogen (N) and Phosphorus (P)(0.36). All three Sites had the value of N:P ranging from 12.58 to 65.69, thus exhibiting P limitation. The present study advances the field of functional ecology in Haryana's tropical dry forests significantly. This is also crucial to forecast community formation trends and characterize the contributions of different species to ecological processes.

Aquatic regimes are exposed to a variety of pollutants that are mainly released by anthropogenic activities. Mercuric chloride (HgCl2) pose serious hazards to freshwater fish resource for its toxicity and long persistence. It is also a threat to humans who consume fish as a food resource. This study aimed to determine the consequences of acute exposure to HgCl2 in the freshwater food fish Channa punctatus (Bloch, 1973). The acute study of 96 hours was composed of three groups (in triplicates), having ten fish in each group which includes group I (control), group II (0.112 mg/l of HgCl2) and group III (0.224 mg/l of HgCl2). Results showed induction in reactive oxygen species (ROS) level in erythrocytes of group III (22159 ± 258.036). The biomarkers of oxidative stress, glutathione reduced (GSH) and lipid peroxidase (LPO) showed significant (p < 0.05) decrement and increment in their activity, respectively, in gills, liver, kidney and muscle tissues of the fish treated with HgCl2. Further, micronuclei (MN) and nuclear abnormalities (NAs) were formed in the erythrocytes of the fish of groups II and III, revealing DNA damage, hence showing genotoxicity. Histopathological studies in sample tissues of HgCl2 treated group demonstrated irreversible tissue injuries and anomalies. Thus, the findings from the study demonstrate that biological stress is induced in fish because of acute exposure to HgCl2, leading to health impairment
Yield and component yield of onion (Allium cepa L.) effect of salicylic acid under drought stress in Indonesia
Authors: Purbajanti Endang Dwi , Bintang A’isyah Surya 
Published: June 2023

The use of salicylic acid as a resistance inducer agent in several plant species was well known. Salicylic acid has been believed to play an important role in inducing drought resistance. The use of salicylic acid and dryness in onion (Allium cepa L.) has never been studied. The present study aimed to ascertain how limited water supply and salicylic acid (SA) interact with onion (Allium cepa L. ) yield and component yield traits. A completely randomized design (CRD) and two-factor treatment with three replications were employed in the investigation. Drought was the first factor (FC1(field capacity), FC2 ( at 60% field capacity), FC3 (at 20% field capacity). The concentration of salicylic acid (SA) was the second component (0 mM, 0.5 mM, and 1 mM). The following parameters were measured: relative water content (RWC), water use efficiency (WUE), plant height, number of leaves, number of tillers, root length, chlorophyll content index (CCI), proline, bulb weight (bw), strawweight (w), bulb diameter, bulb production (bp), harvest index (hi), and bulb diameter. The results showed that tillers increased (7.0 to 10.0) as SA concentration increased at three levels of dryness. However, plant height (40.6 to 30.0cm) and the number of leaves (24.3 to 16.0) decreased as drought increased. Dryness in bulb weight, strawweight, bulb diameter, and bulb production could not be alleviated by the SA concentration. Salicylic acid 1 mM has been able to overcome drought up to 20% of field capacity as indicated by plant height and leaf area but was unable to prevent drought on bulb weight and tuber diameter. Thus, the concentration of salicylic acid given would help to overcome drought (water deficit) in shallot plants.

Published: June 2023

Mangroves harbour many beneficial microorganisms in their rhizosphere, phyllosphere and endophytically, which forms an ideal ecological habitation for isolating halotolerant endophytic bacteria with unique characteristics. Endophytes can produce numerous bioactive secondary metabolites and phytohormones, which may be directly or in some way beneficial to the host plant. The present study aimed to identify novel endophytes capable of producing plant growth-promoting substances. The mangrove plants Acanthus ilicifolius L. at Corangi Wildlife Sanctuary were selected, and their leaves and roots were collected for endophyte isolation. Eight isolates from the leaves and roots were collected, purified and preserved. All these isolates were subjected to morphological, phenotypical and biochemical studies. Isolates were grown best at 3% NaCl nutrient agar and could tolerate salinity upto 8%NaCl. Most of them could grow upto 42°C. The majority were gram’s positive, motile, aerobic, rod-shaped and some were gram’s negative, rod-shaped organisms. Many of the endophytic organisms had the ability to synthesize Indole-3-acetic acid(IAA) varied from 0.7 µg/ml (AIL1) to 51.0 µg/ml (AIL2) and the highest phosphate solubilizing ability was recorded with AIR3 (3.71 ppm) followed by AIR4 (3.00 ppm) and lowest was recorded by AIL4 (1.80 ppm). Among total isolates, AIL2 (51µg/ml) showed promising potential in producing IAA and had phosphate solubilization ability. Based on 16S ribosomal RNA molecular method the isolate AIL2 was identified as Bacillus altitudinis. This is the first to report that B.altitudinis strain AIL2 isolated from A.ilicifolius L. could produce IAA, which can be used as a bioinoculant in agriculture and allied sector.

Published: June 2023

One of the respiratory viruses with the highest rate of dissemination, the coronavirus, sparked a global pandemic that claimed the lives of roughly six million people. As a result, various vaccinations and medications to lessen disease severity and hasten patient recovery were developed quickly. The purpose of this study was for coronavirus patients with acute lung distress to have their serum levels measured and compared to healthy controls. One hundred eighty blood samples from respiratory infections syndrome coronavirus patients between the ages of (13-80) were included in this case-control research. Results showed that human leukocyte antigen-C (HLA-C) serum concentrations were measured in patient groups compared to healthy groups. Patients with acute lung symptoms of coronavirus had higher serum levels of HLA-C, and the outcomes were contrasted using the Kruskal-Wallis. Upon testing, it was discovered that their serum levels for HLA-C showed a significant difference (P< 0.05). There were▫severe corona patients without pneumonia having a level of 40.03 ng/ml, severe corona patients with pneumonia having a level of 47.93ng/ml, non-severe corona patients without pneumonia having a level of 46.83 ng/ml, non-severe corona patients with pneumonia cases having a level of 61.15 ng/ml and with controls having a level of 17.65 ng/ml, (P ≤0.001). An increase in HLA-C serum level led to contribute to the immune storm that changes immunoregulatory▫such as including reducing the number ofˑallogeneic made by mixing lymphocyteˌcultures, death of the natural killer cell and CD8+ˌT lymphocytes, and inhibition of alloreactive cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTL) activity.
Lockdown impact on dolphins as an aquatic health indicator and maintenance of sustainable Gangetic ecosystem: An overview
Authors: Bhattacharyya Sucharita , Bhowmick Anwesh 
Published: June 2023

A healthy ecosystem is a subject matter of interest because of its rich biodiversity. But natural climatic changes, as well as various man-made anthropogenic factors, not only emit greenhouse gases into the atmosphere resulting in global warming but influence various ecosystems of the earth. The aquatic ecosystem is one such example where the dolphin, with its complex behaviour, is recognized as one of the most intelligent members. The natural hydrodynamic body system speeds up underwater and the SONAR system communication technology helps dolphins to work as an efficient aquatic health indicator. But human activities, including aquatic poaching and fishing, creating underwater noise pollution and undesirable infrastructures and producing debris from their generated wastes obstruct the proper functioning of these systems and ultimately contribute to their habitat loss. So, dolphins’ ( Gangetic ones in India) disappearance from their comfortable living zone was inevitable and observed in the past few decades as they migrated to areas with more favourable conditions. The available information related to the rejuvenation in the qualities of the Gangetic water and the restoration of the dolphin’s habitat during COVID pandemic confirmed the absence of the negative impact of human activities on the Gangetic ecosystem. Hence, identification of the important steps to be implemented by the concerned authorities in post-COVID situation and their maintenance by the common people is necessary to balance such important aquatic biodiversity in the long run, keeping the country’s developmental activities operational. This review article is an endeavour towards that direction.

Published: June 2023

An opportunistic bacterium called Acinetobacter baumannii has significantly increased the frequency of infections in recent years. With only a limited number of “traditional” virulence factors, It is infections have spread rapidly through hospitals across the globe. The present study aimed to work out the relationship between the multi-drug resistance (MDR) of A. Baumannii and biofilm formation. A total of 150 samples were collected from various clinical sources from different age groups and gender patients in Ghazi AL Hariri Hospital and Baghdad Teaching laboratories in Medical City in Baghdad, Iraq from December 2021 to March 2022. Microscopical inspection and cultural features on various culture media, including culturing on selective medium CHROMagar, were used to identify bacterial isolates. The characteristics of the isolates were then established by some biochemical tests. Identification was confirmed using the Vitek-2 system with an accuracy of 99%, which revealed that only (50) isolates were given identical morphological characteristics and biochemical tests belonging to Acinetobacter baumannii isolates. 28 (56%) isolates were collected from burns. 10 isolates (20%) and 9 isolates (18% were collected from wound and sputum cultures of A. baumannii , respectively, while only 3 isolates (6%) were from urine culture. The susceptibility test for all the fifty clinical isolates of A. baumannii was performed against 10 different antibiotics. The results showed that A. baumannii isolates were Multidrug-resistant (MDR) (98%), while the other (2%) of the isolates were extensively drug-resistance (XDR) to themajority of antibiotics tested. All 50 isolates in the present study were subjected to the micro-titer plate (MTP) assay method (96 walls). The results indicated that strong biofilm was detected in 40 (80.0%) of the tested isolates. Thirty bacterial isolates were were found to be MDR and had strong biofilm production.

The use of environmentally friendly pesticides using palm oil derivatives as palm oil methyl ester (PME) carrier solvents has been reported. PME-based glyphosate isopropylamine nanoemulsion in the water against weeds has been the subject of numerous studies as well as palm oil methyl ester molluscicidal against golden apple snails. This study's major goal was to formulate palm oil in an appropriate formulation form and assess its insecticidal effectiveness against citrus mealybug, Planococcus citri. Palm oil was formulated as 34% oil in water emulsion (O/W) (mayonnaise). The new mayonnaise formulation successfully passed all physical and chemical testing requirements set out by pesticide organizations for (O/W) emulsions. Under laboratory conditions, it was biologically evaluated against nymphs and adults of the citrus mealybug, Planococcus citri, with serial concentrations. It had considerable insecticidal activity against all study stages, although the impact on nymphs was significantly greater than that on adults. This was evident from its LC50 values, which were 53.52 and 58.58 mg/ml for nymphs and adults, respectively. The citrus mealybug, Planococcus citri, in its adult, nymphs, and gravid stages, was tested using the new palm oil 34% mayonnaise formulation in the field. The highest mortality percentages were seen in the nymphs, followed by adults and then the gravid stage. After additional research, the newly developed palm oil formula might be employed to combat the citrus mealybug, Planococcus citri.

In this paper, integrated quantum neural network (QNN), which is a class of feedforward
neural networks (FFNN’s), is performed through emerging quantum computing (QC) with artificial neural network(ANN) classifier. It is used in data classification technique, and here iris flower data is used as a classification signals. For this purpose independent component analysis (ICA) is used as a feature extraction technique after normalization of these signals, the architecture of (QNN’s) has inherently built in fuzzy, hidden units of these networks (QNN’s) to develop quantized representations of sample information provided by the training data set in various graded levels of certainty. Experimental results presented here show that (QNN’s) are capable of recognizing structures in data, a property that conventional (FFNN’s) with sigmoidal hidden units lack. In addition, (QNN) gave a kind of fast and realistic results compared with the (FFNN). Simulation results indicate that QNN is superior (with total accuracy of 97.778%) than ANN (with total accuracy of 93.334%).
