Photoprotection: new concepts, controversies and trends in 2022
Authors: Diehl C. 
Published: June 2022

Photoprotection appeared, on technical if not scientific bases, in the 1930’s.It was created for permitting tanning without burn. This concept lasted until the 1980’s and then evaoluted, due to both scientific advances permitting to reach higher SPF’s, but also more and more concern of the population about the nocious effects of sun exposure on the occurrence of skin cancers. At that time, it was demonstrated that sun radiation was not only able to favour the development of carcinomas and melanomas, but also to speed up the visible signs of skin aging. This made that nowadays, photoprotection turns to be a responsible act and a daily routine. This paper intends to update the current knowledge about photoprotection. We lastly discovered that not only UVA/UVB but also visible light and infrared radiation, i. e. the complete sun spectrum, is negatively impacting the skin, hence the necessity of creating a full spectrum photoprotection. Dark cyclobutane pyrimidine dimers formation following sun exposure is becoming an urgent concern, and photolyases are probably a solution to reduce the formation of these compounds and repair the damages they are susceptible to cause in the skin. Other concerns are also the levels of vitamin D in the organism, which could be impacted by the regular use of high SPF photoprotection, the frequent use of mineral nanoparticles as sunscreens, the possible impact of certain sunscreens on the human health and also the potential environmental damage they may cause. Finally, an evolution of sunscreens toward more elegant, pleasant and easy to use formulations is certainly the guarantee of a better compliance of the patients with photoprotection.

Objective: In addition to disease activity in rheumatoid arthritis patients; variables such as pain, fatigue, depression, anxiety, and sleep quality are also associated with quality of life. We aimed to evaluate the relationship between disease activity and quality of life scales in rheumatoid arthritis.
Methods: In this cross-sectional study, 92 consecutive rheumatoid arthritis patients who applied to Ankara City Hospital Rheumatology outpatient clinic in January-December 2020 were included. Demographic, clinical features and laboratory data were recorded. DAS28 for disease activity and pain-visual analogue score(VAS) and fatigue-VAS, hospital anxiety-depression(HAD), Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI), and Nottingham Health Profile (NHP) forms for quality of life assessment were filled by one-on-one interviews. Patients were grouped according to disease activity such as: “Low-DAS28 group” and “High-DAS28 group”.
Results: In comparison with DAS28, pain-VAS, and fatigue-VAS, and some NHP scores (such as the total score and pain, physical activity, and fatigue subgroup scores) were statistically significantly higher in the High-DAS28 group than the Low-DAS28 group. However, no difference was found in HAD scores. Except the sleep disorder subgroup was higher in the High-DAS28 group, total and other subgroups scores of the PSQI were similar.
Conclusion: Improving the quality of life in patients with rheumatoid arthritis is one of the main objectives of treatment. A high disease activity seems to be more affecting the patients in terms of pain-VAS, fatigue-VAS, NHP total scores and NHP-pain, NHP physical activity subgroups than other the quality of life scales in patients with rheumatoid arthritis.

Low productivity is one of the major concerns in rubber plantations and therefore, efforts should be made to exploit the maximum potential yield from a rubber tree sustainably. The exploitation of latex (tapping), which is the most important operation in rubber crop and plantations, is normally done in the morning (around 06:00-08:30) in traditional rubber growing areas in Wet and Intermediate Zones and around 05:00-07:30 in the nontraditional areas in Intermediate Zone. Some smallholders, planters and other people/groups believe or suggest that night or early morning tapping could increase the latex yield in rubber trees. Therefore, this study was aimed at exploring the effect of time of taping on the latex yield of H. brasiliensis. Rubber trees of clone RRIC 121 were used with a plot size of 15 trees and six treatments to represent times of tapping [03:00, 04:00, 05:00, 06:00 (control), 07:00 and 08:00)] at d2 frequency at Galewatta division of the Rubber Research Institute, Agalawatta, Kalutara District and 02:00, 03:00, 04:00, 05:00 (control), 06:00 and 07:00 at a smallholder field, Yudaganawa, Moneragala District for one year. Weather and latex volume data were recorded and total crop and g/t/t (gram/tree/tapping) were calculated/estimated. No significant differences were recorded for the mean total crop and g/t/t values for the trees tapped at different time intervals in both Kalutara and Moneragala districts. Models were fit to estimate the crops that could be obtained at different time durations using these data. Accordingly, a 0.04% increase in the total crop was estimated for trees tapped during 5:00-7:30 when compared to those tapped during 06:00-08:30 in the Kalutara District. Conversely, 1.6%, 3.3%, and 5.1% increase in yield were recorded in trees tapped during 04:00- 06:30, 03:00-05:30 and 02:00-04:30 respectively when compared to those tapped during 05:00-07:30. Therefore, night/early morning tapping may not be an effective or a practical strategy/solution to increase the productivity in rubber plantations in Kalutara District, while tapping during 02:00-04:00 in Moneragala District may contribute to an increase in latex crop upto around 5%. Large-scale assessments are required for further confirmation of these results.

Chemical Control Measures Against Patch Canker Disease in Rubber Plantations
Authors: Fernando T.H.P.S.  , Nishantha E.A.D.N.  
Published: June 2022

The rubber plantation industry plays a significant role in Sri Lankan economy in terms of foreign exchange earnings. Rubber cultivations are affected by a number of economically important diseases and insect pests which lead to significant yield losses. During the recent past, an abnormal bark cracking at the collar region and oozing of latex of trees was frequently reported to the Rubber Research Institute. The disease has been identified as Patch Canker condition and the causative agent was reported as a fungal like pathogen Pythium spp. This study reviews the recommendations to treat patch canker disease in rubber plantations. The effects of the fungicides namely mancozeb 80%, mancozeb 64%+metalaxil-MZ72, carbendazim 50% ai, hexaconazole 50 ai, captan 50% WP, thiram 80% WP and copper oxychloride 50% WP were evaluated on the mycelial growth of the Pythium spp. using the poisoned food technique (PFT) in vitro. Hundred parts per million (100 ppm), 200 ppm, 600 ppm and 1,000 ppm active ingredient of each chemicals were subjected to testing. The field trials were carried out at Pussella Estate, Kuruwita Estate and Woodend Estate which were identified as the affected fields with Pythium spp. One hundred and twenty five moderately affected, ten years old rubber trees were selected out of five hundred trees of one hectare for the field tests of the chemical treatments at each estate. Four fungicides namely mancozeb 80%, carbendazim 50% ai, thiram 80% WP and thiophanate methyl 70% WP were tested in vivo, based on their behavior in vitro also to represent different chemical mode of action. In the PFT, the most suppression of mycelial growth in plates containing was from mancozeb at a concentration of 200 ppm. Carbendazim and mancozeb+metalaxil were both inhibitory to Pythium spp. in culture at concentrations ranging 400- 600 ppm. Fungicides thiram, copper oxychloride, hexaconazole and captan were not inhibitory to Pythium spp. at 600 ppm. According the field test fungicides mancozeb and carbendazim showed the highest average disease recovery index while the low average disease recovery index were recorded for fungicides thiram and thiophanate methyl. Based on in vitro and in vivo investigation the fungicides mancozeb and carbendazim were extremely effective in controlling the pathogen Pythium spp. No further cankers developed from the bark surface after the applications of mancozeb and carbendazim treatments. Treating affected trees with mancozeb or carbendazim will reduce the severity of patch canker caused by the Pythium spp.

The lobster fishery is one of the well-established, highly valued commercial fisheries on the Southern coast of Sri Lanka. There are five spiny lobster species, Panulirus homarus, P. longipes, P. ornatus, P. versicolor and P. penicillatus are recorded in the Southern coast of Sri Lanka. However, the heavy fishing pressure and other anthropogenic interventions have caused a significant depletion of some of these species. Therefore, in order to identify the vulnerability of the lobster species, we studied the species, gender and sexual maturity compositions of the lobster catch with the data collected from nine different lobster landing sites along the southern coast of Sri Lanka during 2019 and 2020. Minitab and MS Excel software were used for the descriptive statistical analysis. According to the results, the dominant species in the sampled landings was P. homarus, with the average percentage of 73.16% in 2019 and 84.65% in 2020. However, least abundant P. ornatus species’ average percentages were 0.74% in 2019 and 0.27% in 2020. Moreover the results reveals the male:female 1:1 sex ratio of the lobster catches as 1:0.9 in 2019 and 1:0.89 in 2020. Most importantly, among all females, there were 43.01% in 2019 and 37.31% in 2020 percentages borne eggs while 48.53% in 2019 and 47.03% in 2020 percentage of females were identified with tar spots. Therefore, considerable caught of tar spotted and egg bearing female lobsters might be a major cause of lobster stock depletion in Southern coast of Sri Lanka. Thus present study would be a preliminary guide for the future studies on sustainable lobster fishery management approach.

Optimization of Waste Collection and Transportation in Ratmalana Area in Sri Lanka
Authors: Joseph R.  , Gunaratne M.D.N.  
Published: June 2022

At present solid waste management has become a national concern where all the local governments, provincial governments, and the central governments seek for sustainable solutions. Much of the Municipal Solid Waste (MSW) management cost in Sri Lanka is allocated for waste collection and transportation rather than for waste disposal and treatment. The objective of this study is to minimize the total cost of solid waste collection and transportation. This enables a direct reduction in the fuel cost, labour cost, emission due to transportation which results in a significant reduction in the total cost of MSW management. The waste collection process was studied in Ratmalana area, which is a suburb in Colombo District in the Western Province of Sri Lanka, where many households and industries are located, and the factories discharge raw untreated waste into open drains leading to natural waterways or low-lying lands. The current practice of waste collection and transportation refers to collecting all the waste from households and factories and other institutions to the disposal station at Karadiyana, Pilyandala using four tractors along the settled routes. The study mainly relies on secondary data in relation to collected and transported quantities of waste by date, by four tractors in the month of September 2020. Linear programming (LP) techniques were applied to route optimization to reduce the daily total traveling distance of waste collection and transportation. Compared to the existing solid waste collection and transportation process from sources to the collection center along six (6) roads in Ratmalana area, the proposed heuristic solution for solid waste collection and transportation problem will significantly be reduced the daily average transporting distance from 86.29 km to 55.06 km with a reduction of 31.23 km (decrease in total distance is 36.2%). As a result, it is required only three (3) tractors (with 3,000 kg capacity) instead of 4 carriers deployed currently and the labour requirement will be reducing from 12 labours to 9 labours. In addition to those advantages of the proposed LP model, the number of vehicles reduced from 4 to 3 on a daily basis. The application of LP techniques will provide many advantages in terms of minimizing number of vehicles deployed, fuel cost, vehicle maintenance cost and labour cost and reduction in emission with the optimization of the resource utilization.

Divisional Administration for Conservation of Environment in Sri Lanka: Opportunities and Challenges
Authors: Dissanayake D.M.S.B.  , Jayasinghe I.D.C.  
Published: June 2022

The Transfer of Powers (Divisional Secretaries’) Act No. 58 of 1992 enhanced the powers andfunctions of the divisional administration system, and also merged the central government and provincial governments at the divisional levels, creating a new power center for development planning, regulation, and resourcing. The divisional administration carries functions under several laws including Land Development Ordinance, State Land Ordinance, Land Acquisition Act, State Land Recovery Act, Land Development (Special Provision) Act, Forest Ordinance, Agrarian Development Act, and Irrigation Ordinance. Natural resources are the key to the rural economy in Sri Lanka and natural resource depletion is accelerated by anthropogenic causes such as population pressure, encroachment, and over-extraction of natural resources. Environmental pollution and degradation challenge sustainable development significantly. The objective of this paper is to examine the potentiality of divisional administration in environmental conservation, focusing on the legitimate powers vested. Qualitative methodology was used for the research, a desk review was done with the relevant legal sources; acts, regulations, and judgments, and challenges were examined through ten key informant interviews. The study identifies that the divisional has a three-fold role in environmental conservation; land management, development management, and law enforcement. The divisional administration holds the guardianship of the state land and associated natural resources, with powers of granting or leasing land for settlements or developments, and is also responsible for the land use planning. In the perspective of development management, the divisional administration is more significant as it has opportunities to coordinate the development through various committees, mitigate climate change impact and natural disasters, and provide development assistance and relief. The wider regulation powers vested with the divisional administration is ranging from issuance of permits to enforcing laws against unlawful acts. This function directly relates to controlling deforestation and encroachment and managing over and illegal extraction of natural resources. The significant element of the divisional administration for environmental conservation is the availability of a vertical mechanism connecting the community at a lower level to the respective departments at the higher levels and the horizontal mechanism connecting all public, private, and community organizations. However, the study reveals several challenges such as the nature of political and community priorities that limit divisional administration in environmental conservation. The study recommends that recognition and revaluation of the role of divisional administration in environmental conservation are timely essential.
