 Abstract

Urinary tract infection (UTI) implies multiplication of pathogen in the urinary tract and presence of more than 105 organisms/ml of midstream of urine sample. UTI occurs due to entry of bacteria in the urinary tract via urethra to bladder and then multiplication in the tract. The most common cause of urinary tract infection is Gram negative bacteria that belong to the family Enterobacteriacae. Members of this family include Escherichia coli, Klebsiella, Pseudomonas, Enterobacter and Proteus. Other causative agents of UTI are Gram positive organisms such as Staphylococcus spp, Streptococcus spp and yeast like Candida. Urinary tract is among the most common sites of bacterial infection both in community based and hospitalized patients [5]. Despite rapid diagnosis and treatment there is reported 5% risk of long term damage owing to recurrence and consequent renal scarring with its complications. E. coli is the most common cause of urinary tract infection.

 Abstract

Urban festivals in India, particularly Ganeshotsav, are celebrated with immense enthusiasm and grandeur. While culturally significant, these events also produce unprecedented levels of noise pollution through the use of amplified music systems, drums, and firecrackers. Such short-term but intense sound exposure not only disrupts human health but also affects urban wildlife, especially birds. This paper examines the ecological impact of festival-related noise pollution on bird behaviour in Pune and Pimpri-Chinchwad. Using a combination of noise monitoring, bird surveys, and behavioural observations, this study explores how elevated sound levels influence avian vocalization, foraging activity, and vigilance. The findings highlight the acute disturbances caused by immersion-day celebrations and provide recommendations for balancing cultural practices with environmental sustainability.

 Abstract

This study investigates the environmental and nutritional outcomes of organic farming based on an analysis of peer-reviewed research articles published between 2020 and 2024. Organic farming has been recognized globally as a sustainable agricultural practice that reduces environmental degradation and enhances food quality. Using secondary data and comparative analyses from published studies, the paper demonstrates that organic systems reduce pesticide residues, cadmium accumulation, and nutrient leaching while enhancing soil health, biodiversity, and crop nutrient content. Nutritionally, organically produced crops show higher levels of antioxidants, vitamin C, magnesium, and iron compared with conventional produce. While yields are often lower in organic systems, the long-term benefits for ecosystem health and human nutrition make organic farming a viable approach for sustainable development. The study concludes that policy support, farmer awareness, and consumer education are crucial to scale up organic practices and meet future food security challenges.

 Abstract

Increasing air pollution demands effective and sustainable solutions. Plantation of indigenous and native small to medium-sized plants in highway medians offers a practical way to absorb particulate matter and gaseous pollutants, thereby improving roadside air quality. This review highlights suitable native species for highway medians across India's agro-climatic zones, emphasizing plant size and adaptability, along with limitations associated with median plantations. It also discusses the ecological impacts of planting non-indigenous species in such settings.

 Abstract

Environmental stressors such as climate change, pollution, and habitat degradation increasingly challenge Indian biodiversity. Epigenetic modifications - heritable changes in gene expression without DNA sequence alterations - offer a rapid mechanism by which organisms may respond to these pressures. This review synthesizes current knowledge on epigenetic responses to environmental stressors in Indian plants, animals, and microbes, focusing on DNA methylation, histone modifications, and non-coding RNAs. Evidence for transgenerational inheritance and ecological consequences of epigenetic memory is evaluated. The review highlights the ecological relevance of epigenetics in facilitating adaptation, transgenerational plasticity, and ecosystem resilience. Challenges and future research directions are discussed to integrate epigenetics into conservation strategies in India's rapidly changing environments.

 Abstract

Surfactant-polymer interactions play a significant role in numerous industrial, pharmaceutical, and environmental applications due to their ability to modify solution properties such as viscosity, solubilization, surface tension, and stability. When surfactants and polymers coexist in an aqueous medium, their association leads to the formation of complexes driven by hydrophobic, electrostatic, and hydrogen-bonding interactions. These interactions strongly influence micellization behavior, critical micelle concentration (CMC), and aggregation number of surfactants, while also altering the conformational and rheological properties of polymers. Such systems are extensively employed in detergency, enhanced oil recovery, cosmetics, drug delivery, food processing, and wastewater treatment. Understanding these interactions is essential for tailoring formulations with desired physicochemical properties and functional performance. Experimental techniques such as surface tension measurement, viscometry, spectroscopy, light scattering, and calorimetry are often employed to study the nature and strength of these interactions. This paper highlights the fundamental aspects of surfactant-polymer interaction, their thermodynamic implications, and the practical significance of such systems in modern applications.
