In 1914, approximately 1.6 billion people lived on the earth surface. By the year 1955, that number had grown to 5.7 billion. Today, in 2015, the world population is approaching 7.2 billion people. Each year, the human race is expected to increase by nearly 100 million, necessitating the need for more food production, especially of quality animal protein.
Back ground: Adolescents comprise of individuals between the age group of 10–19 years. In Ethiopia, adolescents in the age range of 15-24 comprise 30% of the population that represent a huge segment of potentially vulnerable population. They are at high risk for practicing risky sexual behaviors which result in STIs including HIV, unplanned pregnancy and abortion which can lead them to death, disability, high girls dropping rate of schools.

Natural and synthetic antioxidants play a significant role in retarding the lipid oxidation reactions in food products. Prevention of lipid peroxidation has long become an important issue, since oils and fats, essential to our diets, tend to encounter problems of oxidation and rancidity, which affect food quality and also may threat human health.
Quality of a finished product is gauged by compliance of certain predetermined specifications. This is ascertained by validated analytical procedures carried out by quality control personnel and laid down by the Quality Assurance (QA) department of a pharmaceutical company. In the present scenario, testing of the finished product alone is not sufficient, but emphasis is on ‘Total Quality Management’ through in-process testing and analysis.
This paper examines the current National Food Safety System of Afghanistan in contrast to some countries in the developed world. The main organizational structure of Afghanistan, its legal framework, the competent authorities and division of their responsibilities are discussed. Particularly, I examine the roles and responsibilities of different agencies in order to identify possible similarities and differences with food control authorities operating in the developed world countries and determine which features are considered most successful.

Piroxicam has been the most widely used potent non steroidal anti inflammatory drug used in treatment of osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, ankylosing spondylitis and acute gout disease for many decades. Since no systematic studies on design and development of Piroxicam FDT are available in literature, we propose to develop a suitable formulation to characterize fast dissolving tablet of Piroxicam. The aim of present study was to formulate various formulations of immediate release tablets of Piroxicam using different excipients by direct compression.
Aqueous plant extracts of Croton bonplandianum Bail. was evaluated for their allelopathic effect on growth and developmental changes of two rice cultivars(BPT-5204 and IR-20). The plant extracts was applied at 5, 5, 10, 15,20 and 25% concentrations on the seeds of rice cultivars to understand the germination, growth and pigment changes by conducting pot culture experiments.
