This study reveals about the importance of using an eco-friendly approach for the removal of heavy metal ions from groundwater. The potential abilities of economically cheaper natural biosorbents (Banana and Citron peels) were studied at different intervals during the removal of heavy metal ions (Copper and Lead). The two metal ions studied were copper and lead by preparing aqueous solution and also from ground water sample. The biosorption of metals was studied by various techniques such as Atomic-absorption spectroscopy (AAS) and Fourier Transform Infra-Red Spectroscopy (FTIR).

The plant Aloe vera was used historically as a topical to heal wounds, various skin conditions and orally as a laxative. The Gram-positive bacterium Staphylococcus aureus is considered to be the most pathogenic species of the genus Staphylococcus, being implicated in both community-acquired and nosocomial infections. The present investigation was undertaken at the University of Gezira, Center of Plant Pathology, during the year 2015.

Introduction: O Diabetes Mellitus (DM) is a chronic disease, where inadequate glycemic control is associated with the main causes of morbidity and mortality. Global estimates showed that 5.1 million people died because of diabetes in 2013, such that 382 million of individuals were diagnosed with DM (8.3%).Goal: The aim of this study is to Therapeutic adherence and the factors influencing the Glycemic. On trolley in the elderly.

The population explosion in developing countries leads to the loss of biodiversity and insufficient arable land. One of the challenges facing these countries is the production of sufficient food and fiber to meet the needs of their people. The objective of this study is to examine agroforestry practices and preferential agroforestry trees among farmers in the Galim-Tignere district in the Guinean Savannah of Cameroon. To do this, a participative and reiterative analysis using a structured questionnaire was conducted with 150 farms distributed in 9 villages.

Objective: Report the mentors’ experience on the subject Nursing Care on Emergency and Traumas in the development of their academic activities, from February to June of 2018. Method: Experience report showing the living of three mentors from University of Amazon, Belem, State of Para, campus AlcindoCacela, about the dynamic developed in teaching-learning process on the subject Nursing Care on Emergency and Traumas, taught at the 8th semester of Nursing graduation, during the first semester of 2018.

This study embraces the bacterial flora of medicinal leeches in Karagöl (Kahramanmaraş). For this purpose, we took samples of blood, stomach, intestine and mouth from the leeches (Hirudo verbana), which were captured in the autumn and winter of 2016 and spring and summer of 2017 in Karagol, at the laboratory. For the isolation of the bacteria; Tryptic Soy Agar (TSA) and Brain Heart Infusiyon Agar (BHIA) was used. These media were incubated in an incubator at 24°C for 48 hours.

The pollutants and drastic environmental variation have also adversely effected and changed water qualities i.e. colour, hardness, turbidity , alkalinity, pH. COD, BOD and TDS etc. Aquatic life, thus, also is affected. Changes in morphology of amphibian, like- colour, pigmentation, length, weight mass, etc. may occur. This can not be ignored that the afore-mention variation may be responsible to develop new varieties or sub species. Unfortunately, negligible work is done in relation to amphibian fauna of the area in recent-past.

Obesity is considered a pandemic and is associated with numerous health risks such as dyslipidemia, hypertension, overweight/obesity and metabolic syndrome, which are risk factors for cardiovascular diseases (CVD). The bioactive compounds present in fruits, vegetables and oilseeds have biological effects on glycemic control, cholesterol levels, body weight, and therefore on CVD prevention. Elaeisguineenses is a palm of African origin, and from its fruits, it is possible to extracted oil. The fruits have an excellent repertoire of phytochemicals, carotenoids, tocopherols, and tocotrienols.

Technology in farming systems has been considered an element for agricultural development, needed to increase the competitiveness. Nevertheless, it’s study has ignored the human resources role in technological innovation. The study’s goal was to determine the human resources’ influence in technological innovation in sheep production systems in the towns of Epitacio Huerta and Contepec, Michoacan, Mexico. The information was gathered from 47 production units and the data was analyzed by frequency analysis and Rho correlation from Spearman.

Tomato (Lycopersicum esculentum L.) is one of the crops most widespread throughout the world, but it is very sensitive to the attacks of the cryptogamic diseases due to the excess of moisture of ground. The use of the synthetic pesticides is an effective means to control the diseases which fight this crop in order to avoid significant losses of yield fruits.
