Education Donggala has a potency which consists of the settlements of fishermen and coral cape that has attractiveness in natural and cultural tourism. The potency of the region should play an important role in the development of the region. It can be seen from the growth of tourist arrived from year to year, but the fishermen are generally still low-income. This fact is an interesting phenomenon to be further investigated to determine the various issues related to non-optimal development of fishermen settlement potency with coastal ecotourism potential.

Objective: To screen the phytochemical constituents as well as  to assess the total phenolic content and antioxidant potential of plant extract(leaves) and cell suspension culture extract from the seed derived callus of Spinacia oleracae.

Currently, obesity is a major health problem worldwide because of its rising prevalence and strong association with pathological disorders such as cardio vascular diseases, diabetes- type 2, hypertension, infertility and some forms of cancer. Nanotechnology has been developed into a multidisciplinary field of applied science and technology for target application. People prefer to take antiobesity drugs to reduce body weight rather than work outs. But these conventional drugs may cause adverse effects on heart and other organs.

The present study was carried out in the district of Zunheboto, Nagaland which lies at 94.52° East Longitude and 25.97° North Latitude  covering a total area of 1255 square kilometres. The study was conducted during January 2013 to December 2013. The distribution and abundance of these indigenous medicinal plants were recorded through consultation of the villagers and local traditional healers of Sumi tribe of Zunheboto District.

The experiment was conducted at animal production farm, faculty of Agricultural and Environmental Sciences, University of Gadarif to investigate the effect of Safari (Crotalaria senegalensis) huskand Sorghum husk (Sorghum bicolor) on the performance of desert lambs. Twelve desert lamb males were selected (6-9 month of age) from animal production farm flock with average weight 26.7 kg.

The Cyanide compounds have been listed as one of the toxic pollutants that are usually released into environment. A study on cyanide analysis has been devised to determine the total cyanide concentration in wastewater. This work determines the concentration of total cyanide in water and wastewater collected in some metal plating factories in Hanoi. The determination of cyanide (simple CN-) is based on the chlorination of cyanide and the subsequent reaction of the product with a mixed solution of pyridine – pyrazolone to form a stable color complex.

Farmers at Umguza Irrigation Lots practise unrestricted crop production using undertreated wastewater. This presents potential public health risk to producers, vendors and consumers of the produce. The aim of the study was to establish the level of public health risk of wastewater use in unrestricted crop production at Umguza Irrigation Lots. Water samples from the dam, canal and overnight reservoir and vegetables: Lactuca sativa, Brassica oleracea and Solanumlycopersicum were obtained and analysed for physiochemical and microbial characteristics.

Agribusiness plays a very significant role in the economy of the Brazilian state of Rio Grande do Sul because it generates jobs and income in rural and urban areas. The aim of this study was to evaluate the relationship between factors of production and gross output value in farms. Such analysis can underpin policies for maximization of the economic result of agricultural output. Thus, data from the Brazilian Agricultural Census (2006) were used for an estimation of the Cobb-Douglas production function.

Traditional vegetables have been consumed by many rural communities for centuries and have a potential to contribute to household food security by providing direct access to readily accessible nutritious food and income. The availability of fresh vegetables is however seasonal but local communities in Hwange have made it an all year round activity. To assess the production and availability of the traditional vegetables, a survey was conducted in July to November 2013 in Nekatambe Ward of Hwange District.

In Egypt Echinocloa crus-galli is one of the most successful yield-limiting weeds in the rice fields that its control mostly relies on herbicides. Plant species Nauplius graveolens, Picris asplenioides, Reichardia tingitana and Urospermum picroides were collected from naturally growing population in coastal (Deltaic Mediterreanean coast) and inland desert WadiHagul of Egypt. The phytochemical analysis of the selected species in the present study showed that, they contain relatively high contents of tannins, saponins, flavonoids, alkaloids and phenols.
