The aim of the present study is to valorize the use in traditional medicine of Strychnos spinosa (Loganiaceae) as an antihypertensive plant. On isolated rat aorta pre-contacted with phenilephrine the crude extract of the plant causes endothelium-dependent vasorelaxation with a relaxation EC50 value equal to 0.900 ± 0.054 mg/ml. L-NAME inhibits the vasorelaxation effect induced by the extract of Strychnos spinosa with an increase in EC50 value of 2.254± 0.140mg/ml, this shows that the vasorelaxation effect involves a mechanism that involves NO. The inhibition of the effect by propranolol, with an EC50 of 2.762±0.138mg/ml demonstrates that the vasorelaxant effect involves the participation of ¿2 adrenergic receptors.

The poultry industry has been expanding rapidly in Zambia with both eggs and table birds forming a major dietary protein source for the majority of the population. Despite this expansion, unhygienic rearing conditions have characterized the poultry industry at both small scale and commercial level. Of concern, is the high bacterial contamination, especially Escherichia coli and Salmonella that may have a serious public health implication. It was against this background that this study was formulated to assess the level of bacterial contamination and associated risk factors in dressed chickens at abattoirs and markets within Lusaka province. A cross sectional study was conducted across two poultry abattoirs and one major poultry market in Lusaka Province. Risk associated data was collected using 261 questionnaires. The results show evidence of plausible bacterial contamination at both abattoir and market level, with higher levels of contamination being observed at markets.Potential risk factors that were identified to have significant influence to bacterial contamination at abattoir level were number of processed chickens per day and at the market distance from water source.

Genetic variability, correlation and path coefficient were estimated in 60 genotypes and five checks of coriander (Coriandrum sativum L.) grown in an Augmented Complete Block Design during Rabi 2020- 21. The high percentage of PCV and GCV were observed for biological yield per plant, seed yield per plot and number of umbels per plant.The high estimates of heritability and genetic advance as percentage of mean were found for biological yield per plant, seed yield per plot, umbels per plant and test weight. Correlation studies revealed that seed yield per plot exhibited highly significant positive correlation with biological yield per plant, test weight, number of umbels per plant, number of seeds per umbellet, plant height and harvest index. Path analysis revealed the highest positive direct effect of biological yield per plant, test weight and harvest index on seed yield per plot.

Nose is the first of respiratory organs. It consists of external openings called nostrils. These lead into two nasal cavities which are separated by the nasal septum. It is lined with very vascular ciliated mucous membrane. It is the organ of the sense of smell because the upper section contains the olfactory nerve ending. The inspired air through nose is warmed by blood capillaries, moistened by mucous membrane and filtered by cilia. Sinuses are located in the Frontal, Maxillary, Sphenoid, Ethmoid bone surround nasal cavity. The primary function is to light the weight of the skull and promote vocal resonance.

Averting Climate Catastrophe Together addresses the necessity of meeting the Paris Agreement temperature target and explores what framework could enable climate action in an effective, efficient and equitable manner that is consistent with that goal. It also looks at the contribution of technological change within the economic system, including the feasibility of a global energy transition. Whether humanity can avoid catastrophic climate change does not seem to depend on the availability of technological solutions, but rather on international cooperation and coordination. Given the various sustainability issues, this book also considers if it is possible to derive a general approach to them. It argues that dealing with compatibility limits in complex systems requires a holistic change in the system structure. Therefore, systems science is discussed together with economics, technological change, and sustainable development. This book targets scientists and experts from different disciplines due to the interdisciplinary topic, but especially from environmental economics and energy technology; policy makers, as policy recommendations are provided to address climate change; as well as the general public due to the pressing common challenge of climate change and comprehensive efforts for sustainable development. Provides evidence based on climate science research on the necessity of meeting the Paris Agreement temperature target Highlights the feasibility of the global energy transition as one major option to mitigate climate change, also going into detail about the process of technological change Brings together systems science with economics, technological change, and sustainable development Derives a framework to meet the Paris Agreement temperature target, enabling coordinated climate action in an effective and efficient manner while pursuing distributive justice

Dichte, gemischte Städte gelten vielfach als Grundvoraussetzung, um bis Mitte dieses Jahrhunderts Klimaneutralität zu erreichen und in Zukunft in Einklang mit den Ressourcen dieses Planeten zu leben. Die zweite Ausgabe des Magazins Fast Forward geht dieser These genauer auf den Grund und diskutiert die Konsequenzen für das Bauen in Deutschland und international. Es geht um Reduzierung der Flächenversiegelung, vertikale Verdichtung durch Hochhäuser, Nachverdichtung und Erhalt von Bausubstanz, aber auch um Aspekte der Mobilität, Infrastruktur und Digitalisierung wie Smart City, Big Data und Datacenter. Wie viel Dichte verträgt überhaupt die lebenswerte Stadt? Wie viel brauchen wir zu einem guten Leben? Worauf sind wir bereit zu verzichten? Und gibt es Alternativen zu radikalem Verzicht, wenn wir nicht weiterhin auf Kosten zukünftiger Generationen leben wollen?

To discover the nature and importance of human rights, with the application of a basic approach we may conclude that human rights provide for individual freedom and liberty in relation to state (which may exercise public power over individuals, but also in relation to other individuals, who may also be capable of violation of these liberties. In some cases human rights not only provide for these freedoms against the above mentioned, but at the same time may mean a legal possibility to the individual to force them to refrain from doing something against him ¿ these human rights are often called justifiable human rights.The basic concept of individuals bearing liberty against the state is not new, it has always been present during the development of societies and mankind. Of course this has not been recognized as ¿human rights¿ in today¿s meaning, rather than a society-organizing principle: given social groups has duties and liberties in a society. We can find this basic phenomenon in ancient tribes, archaic societies and feudal societies as well.

Excessive use of chemical products has caused some negative effects such as pesticide resistance, the emergence of new pests, side effects on natural enemies and environmental contamination. For these reasons, the search for alternative and environmentally ¿¿friendly¿ methods of pest control are encouraged. One such alternative is the use of the bioactive compounds, that are effective against target organisms and have shorter persistence in ecosystems. Plant extracts possess toxic compounds such as oviposition deterrents, repellents, antifeedants and also IGR effects on their target pests. Botanicals have plant secondary metabolites, thus offer an attractive and favorable alternative for pest management. There are lots of phytochemicals found in various native and toxic plants, but there are limited research works on the isolation, purification, and mode of actions. Even a single phytochemical at different concentrations expresses many physiological interruptions against the target pests Phytochemicals are safe to natural enemies, human being and environments. Hence, it is important to know the list of phytochemicals found in native plants that can be used in pest management.

Birsa millenarian movement in both its political and religion aspects against the background of the disintegrating tribal socio-economic system the latter half of the nineteenth century. In pursuance of the same ends Birsa envisaged, in a larger, political- religious context, a new dispensation to be established through the violent expulsion of all enemies of the tribe, and a society hermetically sealed against outside influences, puritan- cally oriented, nostalgically looking back to its golden past.Birsäs movement aimed at the total reconstruction of the tribal culture. The society of the future was to be woven out of religious warp and political woof: Birsäs religion and Raj, politico-religion ends and means were inseparable. The movement and its leadership was typical of the tribal world of the nineteenth century and cannot and should not be judged by the standards of nationalism and non-violence.

It enriches the farmers with state of the art of practical knowledge by ¿going down to the field¿ concept. Change in knowledge of crop production of the participants after attending FFS, was remarkable. At the end of FFS, farmers opined that Trichoderma application in nursery and main field was the best component have learn. They also preferred the use of bio-insecticides, botanicals, various traps and cultural practices. Regarding the economics of FFS, it was revealed that there was increase in returns and decrease in costs and the BCR was higher in the FFS farmers compared to Non-FFS farmers. The change in attitudes towards different aspects was at a satisfactory level by the FFS farmers. The findings of the success stories revealed that the attitude of the farmers towards crop production changed significantly and it benefitted him economically leading to a better livelihood. The major constrains was inadequate financial support, lack of external trainers in the release of fund and lack of delegate of authority.
