 Abstract

Hibiscus sabdariffa (HS), sometimes referred to as Roselle, has a long history of traditional applications and is well-known for a wide range of pharmacological characteristics, such as antibacterial, antihypertensive, and anti-inflammatory effects. This thorough analysis summarizes the body of research on the advantages of consuming HS or its constituents for health. Crucial domains of concentration encompass metabolic well-being, glucose regulation, and cholesterol management. Research has indicated diverse impacts on metrics like insulin sensitivity, lipid profiles, and fasting blood glucose. Additionally, Roselle demonstrates anti-inflammatory qualities, as demonstrated by its influence on inflammatory markers like MCP-1 and TNF-?. Furthermore, HS extracts have demonstrated strong antibacterial activity against a range of strains, suggesting a possible use in the treatment of urinary tract infections. Studies have also shown improvements in indicators such as blood urea nitrogen and creatinine levels, which may have positive effects on renal function. Our goal in writing this essay is to review the body of research regarding HS's health advantages.

 Abstract

Wetlands are recognized as distinct aquatic ecosystems that foster a diverse array of biodiversity, largely due to the presence of various habitats within them. Fish research has become an increasingly important study area, as the fish population is declining throughout the world. Wetlands are crucial ecosystems that support a wide range of flora and fauna, including numerous fish species that are adapted to specific environmental conditions. The study of fish diversity in two lentic wetlands has been carried out from January 2024 to May 2024in Sivsagar, District, Assam. During the study period, we identified and documented the presence of 28 indigenous fish species, belonging to 14 families under 7orders. The different families recorded are Ambassidae, Anabantidae, Arridae, Bagridae, Belonidae, Channidae, Clariidae, Cyprinidae, Gobiidae, Heteropneustidae, Mastacembelidae, Osphronemidae,Siluridae and Synbranchidae. Among the recorded fish species, twenty-one speciesare recordedunderas least concern (LC), three as vulnerable (VU), three species as near threatened (NT) and one data deficient(DD). However, the present study shows less diverse forms of fishes. This is due to the confluences of population from various sources i.e. surface run-off from agricultural fields and many others anthropogenic activities are adversely affecting the ecology of both the systems as signifying the low species diversity. These two wetlands have played a crucial role in the socioeconomic development of the surrounding communities. Wetlands and their adjacent areas are vital ecosystems that significantly contribute to both ecological integrity and socioeconomic development. This study explores the multifaceted roles of wetlands in the surrounding regions, focusing on socioeconomic aspects such as resource utilization, income generation activities, community perceptions, and fishing practices. Through comprehensive analysis and field surveys, we highlight the pivotal role of wetlands in supporting local livelihoods and biodiversity. Understanding these dynamics is crucial for formulating effective conservation and management strategies aimed at ensuring the sustainable use of wetland resources while promoting environmental stewardship.

 Abstract

Nodular hidradenoma (NH) is a rare benign adnexal tumor originating from sweat glands. Fine needle aspiration (FNA) cytology is a valuable diagnostic tool for evaluating such lesions. This abstract presents the cytomorphological findings of nodular hidradenoma in two cases. FNA cytology is a useful diagnostic tool for nodular hidradenoma, providing characteristic cytomorphological features that aid in differentiating it from other adnexal tumors and malignancies. The findings in these two cases highlight the importance of recognizing the typical cytological features of nodular hidradenoma for accurate diagnosis and management.

 Abstract

The TIGER (Teacher as Facilitator, Individual Work, Group Work, Evaluation, Remedial Work) model represents a progressive approach to mathematics education, emphasizing active learning and student empowerment. This conceptual research paper explores the theoretical underpinnings of the TIGER model, which aims to transform traditional mathematics instruction into an engaging, student-centered process. The paper highlights the importance of active learning in fostering students' logical reasoning, creativity, and self-confidence in mathematics. By integrating individual and group work, the TIGER model supports collaborative problem-solving and personalized learning experiences. The evaluation and remedial components ensure that all students achieve mastery, addressing individual learning needs through continuous assessment and targeted support. Drawing on constructivist theories and educational research, the paper discusses the shift from conventional teacher-centered approaches to a more dynamic, process-oriented pedagogy that encourages deep understanding and retention of mathematical concepts. The study also provides practical recommendations for implementing the TIGER model in diverse educational settings, emphasizing the need for comprehensive teacher training, structured group work, and reflective practices. Through this model, students are encouraged to explore mathematics creatively, leading to a more meaningful and lasting understanding of the subject. The TIGER model not only enhances academic achievement but also cultivates essential life skills such as critical thinking, collaboration, and self-directed learning.

Abstract: In parasitized bugs, H. vishwakarma nematode brings morphological, physical anatomical and biochemical changes. Abdomen of host becomes biconvex, cuticle becomes thin, host turns lethargic, flight abilities are lost, feeding propensities increase. Thoracic, abdominal and flight muscles are reduced. Reproductive organs testes vasa deferentia, ovaries, oviducts etc. are found distorted and greatly reduced. Many biochemicals found in the hemolymph, muscles, testes, ovaries are observed depleted in parasitized bugs as compared to control one. The parasite may be used as good biocontrol agent for L. augur.

 Abstract

Ecocriticism has grown into a study of literature and environment from multidisciplinary point of view. The ecological crisis sends us back to a general crisis of society, politics, and existentialism. In an age of environmental crisis, This is now-a-days affecting every country in the world. Humans changing relationship in the natural world have become a matter of big concern to focus on natural disasters. Amitav Ghosh takes us into a world where desperate to hope and down to earth are supposed to be comprehended globally. But refugees trickle through borders like melting ice, but where mass animals find no scopes to ensure their existence.. Amitav Ghosh's works highlight the limits of human consideration when the environmental disaster is apprehended and thought globally. He says that the ongoing ecological disaster recognizes the changes the Earth is facing in view of collision of political, economic and environmental disasters. Climate change, illegal migration, human trafficking and refugee crisis stand as sole factors in view of ecological imbalance. The deranged attitudes for the environment are allegedly discoursed to mark the ecocritical status of the earth. In this paper, I would like to study on eco-critical issues reflected in Amitav Ghosh's The Hungry Tide, The Great Derangement: Climate Change and the Unthinkable and Gun Island. The main objective of this work is to portray the reasons for environmental degradation in view of ecological crisis.

 Abstract

Changing climate is an utmost challenging factor, especially in Dhemaji district of North East India, as, a significant portion of smallholder farmers reliant on rice production in rain fed conditions. Prolonged flooding and droughts, along with varied weather patterns, have significantly elevated the risk of food security. Especially flood have been responsible for severe crop loss which is a raising concern in this area. Developing flood-resilient varieties is a promising strategy to address this challenge. Although a number of such flood resilient varieties are found in this area, cultivation of such varieties is gradually decreasing due to different factors. A rebellion should persuade regarding this issue. To motivate the smallholder farmers, a study has been conducted with ten widely cultivated indigenous flood tolerant rice varieties (viz. Panikakuwa, Kakuwa, Miabao, Dalbao, Maguribao, Negheribao, Panidhan, Bhubao, Amana and Happybao), collected from different paddy growing fields of Dhemaji district, Assam to assess the enriched nutriments as foods high in Resistant Starch (RS) have the potentiality to improve human health. The proportion of RS in the diet can be increased by consuming starches with high amylose content. RS increases along with the increase of amylose content. Thus, high amylose assists in the management of diabetes, improves bowel health and function. Breeding for rice high in RS is of particular interest, as it will be easy to incorporate into the dietary-prevention strategy. Six cultivars have been identified as high protein cultivars (>10%). Dalbao has shown the highest total carbohydrate (88.4%), starch (83.25%) and protein (13.37%) content, whereas cultivar Bhubao shows highest amylose content (34.51%). Dalbao and Negheribao having superior nutritional quality may be considered for inclusion in deep-water rice breeding programmes.
