The dynamic duo: titanium dioxide and zinc oxide in uv-protective cosmetic formulations

Background: Photoprotection has become an essential aspect of preventing keratinocyte cancer and photoaging. However, the use of organic ultraviolet (UV) filters like oxybenzone and octinoxate has raised concerns due to their potential environmental impact and human health risks. Consequently, inorganic UV filters, namely zinc oxide (ZnO) and titanium dioxide (TiO2), have gained significant importance in discussions regarding photoprotection. These filters are employed in sunscreens as nanoparticles, with a particle size below 100 nm.

The application of the concept śūnyatā in the contemporary world

In the Buddhist tradition, the concept of śūnyatā, or emptiness, offers profound insights into the nature of reality and human existence. While traditionally studied within the context of Buddhist philosophy, śūnyatā holds relevance beyond its religious origins and can be applied in the modern world. This article explores the application of sūnyatā in various aspects of contemporary life, including personal transformation, alleviating suffering, fostering harmonious relationships, promoting ethical decision-making, and integrating mindfulness practices.

Genetic variability, correlation and path analysis studies in tomato (Solanum lycopersicum L.) for growth and yield traits

The present investigation involving sixteen genotypes (S1, S2, S3, S4, S5, S6, S7, S8, S9, S10, S11, S12, S13, S14, S15, and S16) of tomato was carried out in Randomized Block Design (RBD) during 2022-2023 at Faculty of Agriculture Farm, Guru Kashi University, Talwandi Sabo. The observations were recorded for growth, quality and yield characters. The result revealed that maximum plant height was recorded in genotype S13 (215.33 cm). The maximum number of primary branches was recorded in S8 (16.00) which is followed by S13 (15.00), S7 (14.67), S5 (13.00).

Living sustainably for a better future

One often attributes sustainable development as a responsibility or a goal set by the government or the state for the better future of its citizens.

In the present times, some of these challenges posed by the modern world have created a divided society caught between pleasure and justful existence. This division is not about caste, race or religion.
