Acute toxicity (96 h LC50) of lead nitratel was analyzed in the Cyprinus carpio in static bio-assay over a 96-h exposure period using probit method. The aim of this study was to assess the effect of lead nitrate, administered on the histology of kidney of Cyprinus carpio. Fish were exposed to sub-lethal concentration of lead nitrate (5 and 10 ppm) over a period of 15, 30, 60 and 90 days. In this study, various groups with one control and experimental each of 10 fingerlings of common carp were used. Investigations pertaining to the histopathological sections have shown high degree of pathological lesions observed with the passage of time. Study showed dermal necrosis, disintegration of parietal layer of glomerulus, disorganization of proximal tubule with pycnotic nuclei and excessive increase in hematopoietic tissue that spread over large area. The nuclei of renal tubules were hyperchromatic and in several cells were displaced to an apical position, Exposure of fish to lead nitrate for showed increased disintegration of glomerulus, increase in Bowman’s space of glomeruli, vacuolated proximal tubules, enlarged basement membranes of proximal and distal tubule and increased hematopoietic tissue. The results of the present study clearly indicate that chronic exposure to lead nitrate caused adverse effects on the kidney of Cyprinus carpio and also the quality of water.
采用probit法，在静态生物试验中分析了硝酸铅对鲤96 h的急性毒性(96 h LC50)。本研究旨在探讨硝酸铅对鲤肾组织的影响。鱼在15、30、60和90天内暴露于亚致死浓度的硝酸铅(5和10 ppm)。本研究采用不同的分组，每组10尾鲤鱼鱼种各设一个对照和一个实验。有关组织病理切片的调查显示，随着时间的推移，观察到高度的病理病变。研究显示真皮坏死，肾小球壁层崩解，近端小管解体，核团缩小，大面积弥散的造血组织过度增多。鱼暴露于硝酸铅中，肾小球解体加剧，肾小球鲍曼间隙增大，近端小管空泡化，近端和远端小管基底膜增大，造血组织增多。本研究结果清楚地表明，长期接触硝酸铅会对鲤的肾脏和水质造成不良影响。

Overpopulation, pollution, industrialization, and urbanization are the main contributors to environmental deterioration and the production of solid waste. There are many ways to reduce the amount of organic waste that is disposed of in landfills. This covers vermicomposting, recycling, and composting of organic materials. With the aid of earthworms, vermicomposting is one of the most effective, affordable, and environmentally sustainable ways to turn organic wastes into high-quality manure. This study is aimed to investigate the physico-chemical alterations of sugarcane bagasse mixed with various combinations of buffalo dung following the processing of the earthworm Lampito mauritii. After vermic activity of Lampito mauritii, different combinations of sugarcane bagasse combined with buffalo dung showed a substantial decline in pH, EC, TOC, and C/N ratio and a significant rise in TKN, TK, TAP, and TCa when compared to the initial feed mixture. There was significant increase in total kjeldhal nitrogen (TKN) 46.25% in SCB+BD (1:1), total avilable phosphorus (TAP) 52.63% in SCB+BD (2:1), total potassium (TK) 35.13% in SCB+BD (1:1), total calcium (TCa) 52 % in BD and significant decreased in C:N ratio 69.74% in SCB+BD (1:1), total organic carbon (TOC) 54.82% in BD, electrical conductivity (EC) 54.16% in BD of final vermicompost with respect to initial feed mixture. The pH of initial feed mixture in all the combination tends to decrease. According to the findings, Lampito mauritii speed up the mineralization process and transformed manures into castings with increased nutritional content. These composts are suitable for use in agricultural fields since they have a low C: N ratio and high nutritional content, which will improve crop output.

Vermicomposting the conversion of organic waste into vermicompost, is mediated by the combined action of earthworms and microorganisms. This interesting and attractive alternative to composting turns organic waste into a substrate that can be used as a soil amendment and as a growing medium for use in horticulture. Soil not required in vermicomposting as the organic matter acts as both the substrate the food, and therefore only epigeic earthworms can be used in the process. Vermicompost is nutrient-rich casts generated by the earthworms that can be used as biofertilizers.

Asopinae is the only subfamily among Pentatomidae (Hemiptera: Heteroptera), whose members exhibit predatory feeding habits. They are called predatory stink bugs as they mainly predate on several soft-bodied arthropods. In this study, we compile a consolidated list of the subfamily Asopinae from India, covering 30 species in 17 genera, supplemented with prey information of selected species based on our observations and literature records.

According to an estimate, the world’s population will reach upto 9.1 billion till 2050 and food production is projected to increase up to 70%. Developing countries already facing food scarcity contribute most in population growth. In these countries, one in every six children suffers from hunger and malnutrition. In these critical situation, protection of the grains and food products from insect infestation during pre-harvest and post-harvest is urgently necessary it causes mass losses of grains. In several countries, about 15% of grains are lost harvesting or post-harvesting stages. The Food and Agricultural Organization (FAO) has estimated this loss up to 40% in India. Among the culprits of these losses, coleopteran insect species play major roles. Among coleopterans, red flour beetle, Tribolium castaneum causes loss of grains and food products to larger extent in post-harvest stage. T. castaneum is a secondary pest with a wide host range infesting almong, barley, beans, ground nuts, lentils, maize, oat, peas, rice, rye, sorghum, wheat and other processed grain products. Adults and larvae attack grains already damaged by primary pest and feed mainly on the germ. For the management of T. castaneum population, several approaches including synthetic insecticides have been applied with lots of success but leaving several environmental and human health issues too. To minimize these adverse effects, plant derived volatile chemicals i.e. essential oils and its constituents alone or in combination have been used and got promising results. Since these are volatile, non-persistent and biodegradable, essential oil based formulations can be used for the management of T. castaneum at large as green eco-friendly insecticide

Zoos are commonly regarded as the best place for amusement and enjoyment. A large number of people vigor to zoos to see different animals with their family and friends. The current study investigated "fauna and public opinion of caged animals at Peshawar Zoo" using a well-designed Questionnaire. Questionnaires include questions regarding the zoo environment, public behavior toward animals, and the zoo's involvement in the conservation of endangered species, animal health and enclosure upkeep, and visitor services such as drinking water, a café, and washrooms. People were also polled to choose which species they preferred and which animals they would want to see at the Peshawar Zoo. The responders were then asked whether they had any thoughts or recommendations for zoo upgrades. 198 visitors were questioned both inside and outside the zoo. As a result, it is apparent that the Peshawar Zoo is an excellent location for leisure and recreation. Visitors were excited to view the various animals and were pleased with the zoo's administration. It is specious that the majority of visitors were unaware of the zoo's role in the conservation of endangered animals. A variety of valuable suggestions can aid in the development of the Peshawar Zoo. The concerned authorities should take notes on the methods of education and modes of information used by the zoo management.

Sweet grain sorghum is a very important cereal for urban and especially rural communities in Burkina Faso. It is mainly grown by traditional farmers. Consumed fresh in a pasty state, the grains have a huge nutritional potential and could improve the quality of the consumers' diet. In addition, the marketing of panicles harvested at the doughy grain stage offers substantial income benefits to farmers and traders. The straw of this sorghum is also an excellent fodder for the integration of agriculture with breeding. Despite the many advantages of this crop, it has long remained under-exploited due to insufficient knowledge of its potential and little research attention. However, the conservation and improvement of the quality of sweet grain sorghum is an important issue for the various stakeholders in the crop chain. Thus, based on the various research studies conducted on the crop since 2008 in Burkina Faso, this literature review highlights the importance of sweet grain sorghum, its role in crop diversification, its nutritional properties, as well as the future possibilities for selection and genetic improvement of this species.

A medicinal shrub called Costus Igneus may have a miraculous treatment for diabetes. The leaf of this medicinal plant, which is a member of the Costaceae family, strengthens the beta cells in the pancreas, which helps the body produce more insulin. This is why it is known as the "Insulin Plant" in India. There is a strong belief that eating the leaves of this plant can control blood glucose levels and diabetics, according to earlier research. For antidiabetic activities, the experts have used various extracts from plant parts or specific phytochemicals. This review provides the scholar with information on numerous activities on various diseases in addition to just antidiabetic activities
