The scenario of development and poverty in Murshidabad district make it as critical example of the peripheral region in the entire space of development. Entire district is considered as the pocket of chronic out migration. The backwardness of the district of West Bengal is reflected in the lower agricultural output, skewed distribution of land and higher incidence of landlessness, higher dependency on agriculture and lack of industrialization and several socio-economic and institutional barriers.

The ethanolic extract of the leaves of E. dysenterica (EEC) was evaluated for its antioxidant activity and was then tested for toxicity administered to both the control group and the treated group (2000 mg/kg EEC). For an experimental model of diabetes, animals were divided into experimental groups: a negative control treated with saline, a group treated with streptozotocin (STZ) combined with saline, a group treated with STZ combined with metformin and the others treated with EEC at doses of 25, 50 and 100 mg/kg of body weight (21 days).

Halal, in terms of food commodities, refers to food material, ingredients and the production process, which is permissible for Muslims for consumption. With increasing awareness about food and its quality, safety and origins, consumers are becoming more and more informed if they are buying the same product for which they are paying. In the case of Halal food there are certifying bodies to warrant that Halal food materials are prepared and processed for consumption through Halal procedures. Pakistan is the world’s second largest Muslim country.

The present study has been focused on determination of various constituents of carbohydrate’s metabolism during pupal-adult transition stage in the silk worm, Bombyx mori. Vth instar larvae of the silkworm, Bombyx mori (DFLs), obtained from the local grainages were maintained under laboratory conditions of 260C-280 C temperature range according to the guidelines of Krishnaswamy (1978).The pupae and adult male & female moths were sacrificed on selected days viz.1st, 3rd, 5th, 7thand 9thdays and two selected tissues such as fat body and haemolymph were collectedand stored at -700C.

Like many other tribal societies of northeast India, the Nagas have a patriarchal family structure. In this type of family, the males are characteristically superior in all affairs of family matters. Women are debarred from all sorts of power, authority and decision making processes. In this context, taking part in polities by women is restricted and the women suffer from multiple barriers which bar them from active and positive political involvement. The Naga society is basically agriculturists.

This study was aimed to evaluate the effect of aflatoxin residue on chicken egg quality of layer chickens in the district of Lamongan, East Java Province, Indonesia. Aflatoxine is the result of secondary metabolism produced by fungus Aspergillus flavus, well known as maize contaminates, the main ingredient of chicken feed. When layer chickens consume aflatoxine-contaminated feed, the aflatoxine residues on eggs will also cause decreasing of egg quality.

Obesity is considered a multifactorial pathology that causes several metabolic changes. The objective is to evaluate the effects of the consumption of AIN-93 and high-fat (HF) diets on Wistar rats. We performed clinical, biochemical, histopathological, and nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) -based metabolomic analyses. Among the diets studied, the visceral fat and adiposity index of animals fed with the HF diet were higher than those of animals fed with the AIN diet, but there were no differences in body weight between groups.

Tung Kula Rong Hai is mostly sandy soil, lack of plant nutrients, flooding in some areas, water shortage of the growing season, flooding end of season and rainless in dry season, soil is spreading salinity, farmers lack motivation to improve the soil and the use of technology to increase crop yields. As a result, some areas of Tung Kula Rong Hai used to grow rice have reduced yield problems and low quality rice makes the aroma decrease. This problem is due to the fact that available of soil nutrients have decreased, especially nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium.

Bioremediation of oil spills requires the identification of microbes which have the ability to degrade hydrocarbons present in the soil or water, so that in case of a large spill these can be stimulated further in order to clean-up the area. The world today is very much dependent on crude oil, either to fuel the vast majority of its mechanized transportation equipment or as the primary feedstock for many of the petrochemical industries.

The objective of the present paper is to characterize the Soybean Production Chain in Brazil, according to the activity codes of the Brazilian National Classification of Economic Activity (CNAE) and to measure the generation of formal jobs in Rio Grande do Sul State/Brazil. Proposes to identify the formal jobs generated along the soybean production chain to contribute to the performance of the formal labor market and to an economy of the municipalities.
