Nomophobia and sleep Quality: An Emerging Problem Among Youth

The uses of new technologies have become an integral part of our daily lives. We are observing unprecedented developments in terms of technology which are converging and making our life easier and more efficient. The mobile phone (MP) industry has come a long way in progress and creativity. This has incorporated the use of mobile phones in all aspects of daily living and at almost all levels of human activities, including entertainment, business, acquisition of knowledge, and social networking. Young people in particular appeared to be susceptible to high smartphone users.

Kidney diseases effects on human health and causes of the chronic kidney Diseases in Uddanam Area -Srikakulam, A.P, India

Uddanam is the end region of the srikakulam, share with the Odessa border .Its distributed 40 villages in the Kaviti, Kanchili, Sompeta. Most of the people were died in pre ripening age, suffering with chronic kidney diseases (CKD) without based on the age period. We are visited the different village areas and collect the survey samples such as water, food habits, usage of medicals, family back grounds and other habits. The water samples are send into the laboratory and collected the water quality such as PH, Minerals like silica, led and other pollutants.

Performance of Dorper sheep fed on range grasses and legumes under Feedlot in Kajiado

A feeding trial of range grass and legume rations was conducted at Kipeto in Kajiado County to determine; nutritive value, feed intake and performance of twenty-four Dorper female sheep aged between 12-15 months old. The diets comprised of African foxtail (Cenchrus Ciliaris), Bush rye (Enteropogon macrostachyus) grasses, Lucerne (Medicago sativa), and Desmodium spp legumes. Each six treatment diet had four animals as follows; Diet 1:C. Ciliaris+ Lucerne, Diet 2; C. Ciliaris + Desmodium, Diet 3: Enteropogon macrostachyus + Lucerne, Diet 4:Enteropogon macrostachyus + Desmodium , Diet 5: C.

Revolutionizing drug Discovery: Biochemistry at the intersection of ai and structural biology

The integration of artificial intelligence (AI) and structural biology is transforming the field of drug discovery. AI-driven tools, such as AlphaFold, are enabling accurate protein structure predictions, while machine learning algorithms are facilitating the identification of novel drug targets and lead compounds. Structural biology innovations, including cryo-electron microscopy and X-ray crystallography, are providing high-resolution insights into protein-ligand interactions. This convergence of technologies is accelerating drug discovery, reducing costs, and improving accuracy.

Public health education policies on Breastfeeding: A Systematic literature review using the Methodi Ordinatio

This article presents a systematic review of the literature on public health education policies related to breastfeeding. The aim was to identify the main initiatives, evaluating their effectiveness in promoting, protecting, and supporting breastfeeding. The use of the Methodi Ordinatio method allowed for the classification of articles based on impact factor, number of citations, and year of publication, ensuring the selection of relevant studies.

Molecular characterization of genetic diversity induced in Ceratophyllum Demersum L. grown in Wastewater

The adaptability of aquatic plants to changing environments depends on their genetic diversity. These were influenced by the rate of sexual reproduction, mutation, as well as, gene flow from distant areas. So, the aim of this study was to investigate the genotoxicity of wastewater on the molecular level of Ceratophyllum demersum L., in addition to improving the quality of these effluents resulting from the chemical fertilizer industry. Six doses of ultraviolet (UV-B) irradiation were used to induce genetic diversity in C. demersum L, in addition to unirradiated plants served as control.

Phenotypic Changes and Meiotic Abnormalities Induced by Plant Growth Regulators in Zea Mays L

The Maize is ranked the third cereal crop in the world after rice and wheat. Plant growth regulators (PGRs) are synthetic hormones that are effective or more than natural plant hormones. This study aimed to assess phenotypic changes and meiotic abnormalities induced in maize influenced by PGRs. Two single hybrid genotypes of maize, as well as, two PGRs including gibberellic acid (GA3) and ethephon were used in this study. Maize grains were soaked in two different concentrations of each PGR for 12 hours before sowing in the field.

Development and Evaluation of Pumpkin Orange Based Jelly

The objective of this study was to develop pumpkin-based jelly and evaluate its sensory and nutritional properties. The jelly was prepared by combining pumpkin and orange in different ratios: T1 (75:15), T2 (70:20), and T3 (65:25). Sensory evaluation for suitability of consumption was conducted using a nine-point hedonic scale. Proximate analyses, including moisture, ash, and protein content, were performed following AOAC 2010 nutritional guidelines.

Rice (Oryza sativa) Farmers’ Knowledge about Effects of Climate Change in the North East Region of Ghana

The study surveyed rice (Oryzae sativa) farmers to determine their knowledge and perceptions about effects of climate change on rice farming in the North East Region of Ghana. Two hundred respondents were randomly sampled from four communities to respond to a questionnaire. Reliability of the questionnaire was determined with Cronbach’s Alpha reliability coefficient of 0.793. Descriptive and inferential statistics were used to analyse the data. It was revealed that 89.5% of respondents agreed that climate change is caused by natural and anthropogenic factors.

Comparação de Métodos de Estimativa dos Dias Parados em obras de Engenharia Rodoviária em Função das Chuvas

A ocorrência de chuvas impacta as atividades de engenharia, como terraplanagem e construção de estradas ou obras hidráulicas. A determinação dos dias parados é importante para a elaboração do cronograma de execução e também na estimativa dos custos e orçamentação da obra. O presente estudo teve como objetivo aplicar e avaliar os resultados obtidos por diferentes metodologias para a estimativa dos dias parados. Foi utilizada a série histórica de precipitação do período de 1977 a 2022, da estação pluviométrica de Araquari (SC).
