Abstract: Pasta is a most popular, nutritious and health conscious, global appeal as nutrition supplement. Fortifications of pasta with a variety of proteins increase the nutritional significance of pasta and improve the health condition of the immense majority of health conscious peoples. In present study we developed three samples (C, C1, C2,and C3) of pasta using refined wheat flour and proportions of soya protein isolate(SPI). Sample C was prepared as control containing only refined wheat flour (100%), while sample C1 (refined wheat flour 99% and soya protein isolate powder (SPI) 1%, C2 (refined wheat flour 97% and soya protein isolate powder (SPI) 3%. C3 (refined wheat flour 95% and soya protein isolate powder 5%) were prepared by changing the concentration of refined wheat flour and different soya protein isolate. All the three samples were evaluated for the physicochemical properties (moisture content, ash........

Abstract: Pharmaceuticals have immense effects on non-target organisms both humans and aquatic life when they get exposed. Such as medicine resistance, increases in morbidity and mortality of the population due to unintentional poisoning. The non-target organisms get exposed when they are improperly disposed ending up in garbage collection centres and water purification systems which are not sufficiently equipped to manage the waste in Kenya. Pharmaceutical wastes occur when pharmaceuticals are no longer usable for intended purpose or are being discarded for other reasons such as contamination and expiration. There is growing public concern over presence of active pharmaceutical ingredients in water and the environment. This pharmaceutical waste includes antimicrobials which interfere with water treatment process since most depend on biodegradation. The study aimed at assessing.........

Abstract: One of the most serious issues facing the humanity today is their inability to deal with the detrimental impacts of the current changing climate. This paper aimed to review health inequality among Nigerian people base on poverty indicators. Food insecurity, malnutrition and child mortality and Income disparities are some of the conditions of deprivation, whose magnitudes comprise reduced health and life expectancy among Nigerian people. It is found out that the ability to cope with this situation depends upon individual's social and economic position, the lower the social and economic status, the more likely the absence of coping strategies or inability to afford better health status which results to........

Abstract: Understanding landscape value with different components is important to provide some benefits and information for the management and conservation of landscapes. Çıralı Region, an agricultural village in Antalya Province, southwest Turkey, with its multifunctional landscapes was chosen for the study. The aim of this paper is to evaluate Çıralı with ecological, social, cultural, visual and economic landscape services by using landscape metrics and to discuss how such multifunctionalities of the landscapes can be conserved and developed for sustainable development. As Landscape multifunctionality provides the spatial integration of land use facilities into the economic, environmental and social objectives, we hope that study outcomes would provide useful solutions for landscape related problems in Çıralı.

Abstract: The Food security concept can be defined as following the rules during foods production processing, storage, transportation and distribution phases and taking precautions in order to obtain healthy foods production. In order to provide basic competition and continuity for the competition towards "food security", "quality control" and "quality management systems" were formed. In this study, consumers' awareness level and thoughts in Antalya Province about fruit juice products' quality and food security systems were researched. For this purpose, 400 household who reside in Antalya province city center were interviewed through face-to-face interview method.............

Abstract: The rising concern over the use of mine wastewater for irrigation of vegetables in Abak stream flood plain prompted this study which aimed at investigating the suitability of the aggregate mine wastewater as a source of irrigation water. The result of the analysis showed that the values for total suspend solids (TSS) of 125.4mg/l and turbidity of 44.00NTU for the mine drainage were high. This is presently beneficial to the sandy soil in improving its water holding capacity. Also, the values of sodium absorption ratio (SAR) of 0.53 and electrical conductivity of 3.86 mhos/cm, which is far lower than prescribed standards, indicates that use of the water possess no salinity hazard to the soil and.........

Abstract: The main focus of this study was to identify subsistence farming communities' adaptations choices to climate change impacts and its implications on agricultural productions. The study was conducted in North Ethiopia, Tigray regional state, Kolla Temben district in 400 households. Multistage sampling was applied to select households for interview. In the first stage, 4 Kebelle (administration unit) was selected randomly out of the given 27 Kebelle in the district and then 400 households were selected through the probability proportional to size and simple random sampling techniques. Data on adaptations strategies that actually practiced by individual households to respond to perceived changes and total annual agricultural productions was used. Open ended and close ended questions were.........

Abstract: Diamond assorters due to their inevitable prolonged forward bend working posture in order to assort diamonds are prone to have musculoskeletal aches. Hence, the following study has been done to assess the risk exposure in them. Methodology: A cross-sectional study was been done in Mumbai, India wherein a questionnaire with Nordic Pain Questionnaire was randomly distributed amongst 50 subjects of the study population. Rapid Entire Body Assessment (REBA )was used to assess biomechanical risk exposures at work place. Result: Neck (38%) and Low back region (24%) was the commonest area of musculoskeletal pain in our study population. Almost the whole of the study population falls in medium (57%) and high risk (43%) category according to REBA.............

Abstract: This study was undertaken to assess nutritional quality of cooked beef stored at refrigeration (4±1⁰C) for 1 day, 3 days, and 5 days. A traditional method was used to cook the collected beef and subjected to analyze proximate composition, peroxide value (PV), total volatile base nitrogen (TVBN), bacteriological load and sensory quality. The moisture percentage of fresh cooked, 1 day, 3 days, and 5 days storage samples were 78.03, 65.78, 63.58, and 63.02 respectively. There was no significant difference (P >0.5) in ash content with increasing time in refrigeration. The percentage of fat content in all the samples was almost same (6.94 ± 0.05) and showed a declining trend. The content of protein was found to be increased significantly (p>0.05)from fresh cooked beef to 5 days storagesamples. The PV in 5 days storage...........

Abstract: Bioremediation of crude oil contaminated Marshland muddy soil by bioaugmentation approach using two fungal species Candida tropicalis and Penicillium chrysogenum were evaluated. Penicillium chrysogenum and Candida tropicalis were used to augment the indigenous microorganisms present in the muddy soil to speed up the degradation rate for a period of 28days, sampling and analysis were carried out at weekly interval (1, 7, 14, 21, and 28 days). The indigenous fungi isolates from the soil were identified to be of the following genera, Mucor sp., Penicillium sp., Aspergillus sp.,Candida sp., and Fusarium sp. while the hydrocarbon utilizing bacteria were also identify to be Bacillus, Pseudomonas, Micrococcus, Staphylococcus, Lactobacillus and Klebsiella. During the bioremediation process...........
