Ficus Racemosa is an important medicinal plant, found in India, Australia, and Southeast Asia. It is popularly known as ‘gular.’ It reduces blood glucose concentration due to the presence of β-sitosterol. Many active constituents that have been isolated from various parts of this plant possess useful pharmacological activities. The objective of this dissertation is to identify the biological activity of the roots of an indigenous medicinal plant, viz., Ficus racemosa (Family: Moraceae) and to evaluate the possible phytochemical and pharmacological profiles of the crude extracts.

Biosurfactants, derived from biological sources, are widely recognized for their effectiveness as active agents. Among these, glycolipid biosurfactants hold great importance in the field of biotechnology. Various microorganisms, such as Bacillus subtilis, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, and Candida sp., have been extensively studied for their ability to produce glycolipid biosurfactants. Microbial biosurfactants offer significant advantages over chemical ones, including biodegradability, renewability, and effectiveness even under harsh conditions.

Technology Park projects have been developed as Urban Living Labs to plan compact and multifunctional cities that integrate sustainability and innovation. Due to accelerated urbanization, the climate crisis, and post-pandemic challenges in the Global South, governments, businesses, and academia are working together on solutions for smarter and more sustainable cities. In this regard, a case study of the International Hub for Sustainable Development (HIDS) in Campinas, São Paulo, was conducted to comprehend these projects' potential in urban planning processes.

Fruit crops cultivation gives better yield and more money as compared to field crops from the same piece of land. Some of the horticultural products fetch foreign exchange. Mango (Mangifera indica L.) known as ‘king of fruits.’, Mango fruit is utilized at all stages of its development both in its immature and mature state. Maharashtra state is an important mango growing state in India. The main strength of the Maharashtra state lies in the cultivation of the popular exportable varieties e.g.

The trials involved 60,132 GBEBI rice (Oryza glaberrima) seedlings and 4,703 tilapia juveniles with an average weight of 38 ±9.16 g fed with two complementary diets: (AC), (ASF) and a natural food (AN). Stocking density was 1.5 fish/m2. Nine ponds were used, 3 of which were randomly allocated to each feeding treatment to assess fish growth and rice production. Daily rations of 3% of the reared fish biomass were distributed in two meals (9 am and 3 pm). Rice seedlings were transplanted at a spacing of 25 cm x 20 cm.

Introdução: Em 2010 no Brasil, havia cerca de 1.393.208 adeptos da religião Testemunhas de Jeová em 12.135 congregações. São pacientes que não aceitam transfusões de sangue total ou de seus componentes primários, não doam sangue, nem o armazenam para seu próprio uso se necessário, embasados em preceitos bíblicos. Nos casos de trauma ou hemorragia, o anestesista deve lançar mão de tecnologias disponíveis para contornar a não transfusão sanguínea e conseguir um prognostico favorável.
