Sick Building Syndrome (SBS) has been defined as a “set of adverse health or discomfort symptoms that individuals experience when they spend time indoors, particularly in office buildings, and that lessen while away from the building” Apte et al. (2000). Various construction elements such as windows, floors, roof designs and construction methods can substantially increase or reduce health and safety levels. This can affect internal and external environments in workplaces. Therefore, the more sustainable the construction elements, the less hazardous or negative impacts on the building construction, the workforce, the environment, the occupants and vice versa. This study aims to use existing building construction elements and designs in North Cyprus to create a framework for developing and evaluating suitable roofing structures for adequate insulation in the North Cyprus residential buildings. This was achieved through research experiments on the construction of building elements, that is, roofing. Most SBS buildings in Cyprus have no roof structure or adequate insulation. Therefore, this experiment was carried out to prove that wrong roof systems contribute to SBS formation in buildings and the rate of SBS effects on the end users.
病态楼宇综合症（SBS）被定义为 "个人在室内（尤其是办公楼内）逗留时出现的一系列不良健康或不适症状，这些症状在离开建筑物时会减轻"，Apte 等人（2000 年）。窗户、地板、屋顶设计和施工方法等各种建筑元素都会大大提高或降低健康和安全水平。这会影响工作场所的内部和外部环境。因此，建筑元素的可持续性越强，对建筑施工、劳动力、环境、居住者的危害或负面影响就越小，反之亦然。本研究旨在利用北塞浦路斯现有的建筑构造元素和设计，创建一个框架，用于开发和评估合适的屋顶结构，以充分隔热北塞浦路斯的住宅建筑。这是通过对建筑构件（即屋顶）进行研究实验来实现的。塞浦路斯的大多数 SBS 建筑都没有屋顶结构或足够的隔热材料。因此，该实验旨在证明错误的屋顶系统会导致建筑物中 SBS 的形成，以及 SBS 对最终用户的影响率。

In the interest of efficient heavy metal ion removal from water, various methods such as aeration, coagulation, filtration, sedimentation, and adsorption have been thoroughly investigated. Adsorption, specifically the column method with groundnut shell powder as a bio adsorbent, stands out as a practical, effective, and efficient approach. In this study, a fixed variable of 50 g adsorbent, a particle size of 35 mesh, and an initial adsorbate concentration of 100 ppm was used, along with a 10-liter adsorbate volume and a flow rate of 4 liters per minute. Sampling intervals of 0, 15, 30, 45, 60, 75, 90, 105, 120, 135, and 150 minutes were chosen, and the independent variables encompassed untreated adsorbents, physically activated adsorbents, and chemically activated adsorbents using 1N H2SO4 and 1N NaOH. The outcomes revealed that the adsorption of Fe2+ was notably influenced by the type of activator. The highest Fe2+ removal percentage, 55.90%, was achieved at 135 minutes, showcasing the efficacy of the bioadsorption process. Notably, the optimal bioadsorbent activation was attained using 1N NaOH. This study provides valuable insights into the dynamics of heavy metal ion removal, emphasizing the significance of bioadsorption with groundnut shell powder and underscoring the impact of specific activation methods on the efficiency of the adsorption process.

Based on a bio-statistical survey, this abstract offers a summary of the weaver community's statistical profile. Data on the economic situation, education, occupation, housing, and health of the weaver community were gathered through the survey. The survey's pilot study reveals that the weaver community has substantial social and economic difficulties. The majority of weavers make less than the minimum wage, making up a considerable percentage of their meagre income. The degree of education is also poor; a large proportion of weavers have little access to formal education, healthcare, power, clean water, and sanitary facilities. Poor housing circumstances are common, with many weavers residing in cramped, subpar dwellings. The poll also showed that the weaver community has a strong feeling of community and resilience in spite of these difficulties. Numerous weavers conveyed a strong dedication to their trade and the preservation of traditional weaving methods and abilities. Additionally, they showed that they were eager to take part in education and training programmes to advance their knowledge and possibilities for earning money. The bio-statistical survey's overall findings emphasise the necessity of laws and initiatives targeted at resolving the socioeconomic problems the weaver community faces. Initiatives focused at promoting locally created and artisan textiles as well as efforts to increase access to healthcare, education, and other basic services have the potential to help the well-being of the weaver community and advance ethical and sustainable practices in the textile sector. The community of weavers has experienced a number of difficulties recently, such as competition from less expensive imported textiles, shifts in fashion preferences, and the effects of industrialization and automation on the textile sector. Therefore, this essay is created to help readers understand how the textile business contributes. The article discusses the socioeconomic standing, health, and recommended lifestyle model of weavers.

When religion is an inseparable aspect of the social and cultural life of people, it must be appropriated into the development framework to ensure their well-being, harmonious life, and sustainability. Keeping away from the rationalistic perspective on religion as well as the negative aspects of the creation of conflicts and tension, this study tries to look at religion as having the potential to address various problems associated with development in its broadest terms. Particularly, this article focuses on the role, nature and vitality of folk religion and its relevance for the implementation of development initiatives for the well-being of different communities. It highlights the fact that as everyday village life is shaped by their perception and worldview shaped by their religious ideas and practices and also encumbered with their religious experiences at individual and collective levels, the relationship between the uncodified folk religion and the social, cultural and economic development of community the development could be undoubtedly explored.

Cheese is a nutritionally rich product, distinguished by its unique sensorial qualities. Processing technology for cheeses in different countries is still handmade, thus, the microbial community structure is complex and the cheese flavour fluctuates wildly. Therefore, this study aimed to investigate the sensory acceptance, microbiological and physical-chemical properties of traditional cheese produced in Fogo Island – Cape Verde. Coalho cheese is the most produced and consumed cheese in Cape Verde and is frequently made according to traditional or artisanal procedures. Regarding to physical-chemical analyses, parameters such as fat, moisture, pH, titratable acidity, protein, and ash were studied. Microbiological parameters such as Escherichia coli, Listeria monocytogenes, salmonella and coliforms were studied. A Sensory acceptance test was carried out by 23 panellists, where all evaluated attributes obtained an acceptability index greater than 70%. According to the Cape Verdean standard for cheese, the cheeses were classified as fresh and low-fat cheese. Regarding moisture content, the obtained results allow to classify cheese A as semi-soft cheese and B and C as soft cheese. Concerning pH and titratable acidity, the values ranged from 5.68 to 6.19 and 6.4 to 11.1 mLNaOH1N/100g, respectively. Salmonella and L. monocytogenes were not detected, E. Coli was lower than the maximum accepted value established by Commission Regulation (EC) No 2073/2005 and Commission Regulation (EC) No 1441/2007. In contrast, faecal coliforms in cheeses B and C were higher than those established by the Commission Regulation (EC). Overall, the results from this study may contribute to improving the production process and quality control of coalho cheese.
奶酪是一种营养丰富的产品，具有独特的感官品质。不同国家的奶酪加工技术仍然是手工制作的，因此微生物群落结构复杂，奶酪风味波动很大。因此，本研究旨在调查佛得角福戈岛生产的传统奶酪的感官接受度、微生物和物理化学特性。Coalho 奶酪是佛得角生产和消费最多的奶酪，通常按照传统或手工程序制作。在物理化学分析方面，对脂肪、水分、pH 值、可滴定酸度、蛋白质和灰分等参数进行了研究。还研究了大肠杆菌、李斯特菌、沙门氏菌和大肠菌群等微生物参数。23 位评委进行了感官接受度测试，所有评估属性的接受度指数均大于 70%。根据佛得角的奶酪标准，这些奶酪被归类为新鲜低脂奶酪。关于水分含量，所得结果可将奶酪 A 划分为半软奶酪，将奶酪 B 和 C 划分为软奶酪。关于 pH 值和可滴定酸度，其范围分别为 5.68 至 6.19 和 6.4 至 11.1 mLNaOH1N/100g。未检测到沙门氏菌和单核细胞增多性酵母菌，大肠杆菌低于欧盟委员会法规（EC）第 2073/2005 号和欧盟委员会法规（EC）第 1441/2007 号规定的最大接受值。相比之下，奶酪 B 和奶酪 C 中的粪大肠菌群高于欧盟委员会法规（EC）规定的值。总之，这项研究的结果可能有助于改进煤荷奶酪的生产过程和质量控制。

Processing technology for cheeses in different countries is still handmade, thus, the microbial community structure is complex and the cheese flavour fluctuates wildly. Therefore, this study aimed to investigate the sensory acceptance, microbiological and physical-chemical properties of traditional cheese produced in Fogo Island – Cape Verde. Coalho cheese is the most produced and consumed cheese in Cape Verde and is frequently made according to traditional or artisanal procedures. Regarding to physical-chemical analyses, parameters such as fat, moisture, pH, titratable acidity, protein, and ash were studied. Microbiological parameters such as Escherichia coli, Listeria monocytogenes, salmonella and coliforms were studied. A Sensory acceptance test was carried out by 23 panellists, where all evaluated attributes obtained an acceptability index greater than 70%. According to the Cape Verdean standard for cheese, the cheeses were classified as fresh and low-fat cheese. Regarding moisture content, the obtained results allow to classify cheese A as semi-soft cheese and B and C as soft cheese. Concerning pH and titratable acidity, the values ranged from 5.68 to 6.19 and 6.4 to 11.1 mLNaOH1N/100g, respectively. Salmonella and L. monocytogenes were not detected, E. Coli was lower than the maximum accepted value established by Commission Regulation (EC) No 2073/2005 and Commission Regulation (EC) No 1441/2007. In contrast, faecal coliforms in cheeses B and C were higher than those established by the Commission Regulation (EC). Overall, the results from this study may contribute to improving the production process and quality control of coalho cheese.","PeriodicalId":14374,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Research -GRANTHAALAYAH","volume":"28 8","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-03-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140241812","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Interdisciplinary framework is one of the viable methodologies and it is considered feasible for handling issues that are pertaining to human life. The magnitude of human crisis or the emergence of the complexity of social and cultural concepts has created the necessity or necessitates the approach in which there is a need for inputs from more than one discipline, and thus, the cognate fields of study have to be brought together to deal with the problem that cannot provide a solution due to the nature and complexity of the problem. And despite the speculation that the interdisciplinary framework has limitations in its applicability, and confining it to academic settings, this study makes an attempt to conflate various elements for building up an argument towards its relevance beyond and outside the academic purview. By critically evaluating the feasibility and deliverability of the proposed framework, with the help of an example from ancient Tamil society and its much-celebrated concept of egai, this paper highlights the inevitability of the existence of some of the elements of concepts, or sometimes concepts themselves, being rooted in other concepts. It forces us to claim that a holistic study could be made possible with the interdisciplinary framework which is evidenced here. To move towards the proposed concept, it builds the environment of ancient Tamil society, its contribution in terms of a corpus of literature and its universal significance that is used to contextualize the universal importance of the proposed concept and its contemporary relevance.
