Honey is receiving worldwide attention as an excellent source of probiotics because it contains lactic acid bacteria (LAB) derived from bees as well as multiple essential nutrients, including prebiotics, required for maintaining and enhancing the growth of probiotics. There is limited information on the presence of LAB in honey, especially in Saudi Arabia. Consequently, the purpose of the current study was to isolate and identify LAB from selected honey samples produced by Apis mellifera jementica obtained from various areas around Saudi Arabia using classical cultivation methods and 16S rDNA sequence analysis. The current study examined seventeen commercially sold honey samples, mainly from Saudi Arabia's Al-Baha, Aseer, and Jeddah (Hada Al-Sham) regions. LAB were isolated from honey samples and grown on De Man-Rogosa-Sharpe (MRS) agar. The phenotypic characterization of honey isolates was ascertained using Gram staining, microscopy, and the catalase test. Using 16S ribosomal RNA gene sequencing, isolates were genotypically described. Lactobacillus rhamnosus and Enterococcus faecium were identified from Sidr, Talah, and Somra honey produced by Apis mellifera jementica . The P02, P14, and Con-6 strains were found to share > 99% of their DNA with Lactobacillus rhamnosus by 16S rRNA sequencing investigations, while the P01, P03, and P04 strains shared > 99% of their DNA with Enterococcus faecium . Additionally, the phylogenetic tree reveals that the honey strains isolated from Sidr (P02) and Talah (P14) were closely linked to Lactobacillus rhamnosus , whereas P01 (Sidr), P03 (Somra), and P04 (Somra) were most closely connected to Enterococcus faecium . According to the research, honey produced by Apis mellifera jementica is a beneficial source of probiotics and lactic acid bacteria.

Industrialization and urbanization are the major contributors of heavy metal accumulation in soil and vegetables grown under peri-urban agro-ecosystems in Pakistan where farmers usually mix sewage waste water with irrigation water. However, the heavy metal accumulation among different functional groups of insects (i.e. pollinators, pests and predators) largely remains unknown under peri-urban agro-ecosystems. Therefore current study was planned to evaluate the accumulation of copper and nickel heavy metals in insect pollinators, predators and pests on luffa gourd grown in three peri-urban areas of Multan i.e. Soraj Miani,,Vehari Chowk and Rangeelpur. Source of irrigation at Soraj Miani was industrial and household sewage water while it was only household sewage water at other two locations. From each of the location, samples of three insect groups ( Apis dorsata , Chrysoperla carnea and Spodoptera litura ) were collected along with samples of water, plant, and soil. These samples were analyzed using the atomic absorption spectrophotometer (AAS) in order to quantify the accumulation of copper and nickel heavy metals. It was found that residues of copper and nickel metals were present in samples of soil (0.75 Cu, 0.57 Ni μg/g), water (0.10 Cu, 0.14 Ni μg/g), plants (0.13 Cu, 0.19 Ni μg/g) and insect pest (0.15 Cu, 0.15 Ni μg/g) up to varying extent. Therefore, heavy metals can pose serious threat to ecosystem services of pollination and predation in per-urban agro-ecosystem. Future studies should further investigate the impact of heavy metals on other important pollinators and predators in sewage waste water irrigated agro-ecosystems
工业化和城市化是巴基斯坦城郊农业生态系统土壤和蔬菜中重金属积累的主要原因，在巴基斯坦，农民通常将污水废水与灌溉用水混合。然而，在城郊农业生态系统中，不同功能类群昆虫(即传粉昆虫、害虫和捕食者)之间的重金属积累在很大程度上仍是未知的。因此，本研究拟对木尔坦市3个近城区(Soraj Miani、Vehari Chowk和Rangeelpur)种植的丝瓜传粉媒介、捕食者和害虫对铜和镍重金属的积累进行评价。Soraj Miani的灌溉水源为工业和家庭污水，而其他两个地点的灌溉水源仅为家庭污水。在每个地点采集了3种昆虫类群(Apis dorsata、Chrysoperla carnea和Spodoptera litura)以及水、植物和土壤样本。采用原子吸收分光光度计(AAS)对样品进行分析，定量测定铜和镍重金属的累积量。结果表明，土壤(0.75 Cu, 0.57 Ni μg)、水体(0.10 Cu, 0.14 Ni μg)、植物(0.13 Cu, 0.19 Ni μg)和害虫(0.15 Cu, 0.15 Ni μg)中均存在不同程度的铜、镍金属残留。因此，重金属对城市农业生态系统的授粉和捕食等生态系统服务构成严重威胁。未来的研究应进一步探讨污水灌溉农业生态系统中重金属对其他重要传粉媒介和捕食者的影响

Continuous rise in population coupled with infrastructural requirements leads to increasing demand of cement which is projected to be around 4.8 billion tons by 2030 and 6.0 billion tons annually by 2050 from current production level of more than 4.2 billion tons [1], and this further requires judicious use of natural resources, particularly limestone on one side and to mitigate carbon and energy footprints on other for sustainable development. Therefore, to bring down environmental impact during cement production, cement industries have been engaged over the years to substitute Portland cement with alternative cementitious materials; fly ash, granulated blast furnace slag, limestone etc individually or in combination of two-three mineral constituents in the manufacture of blended cements, which showed better durability characteristics in comparison to ordinary Portland cement. The formulation and commercialisation of these cements largely depends on the quality of Portland clinkers in terms of oxide constituents, potential as well as actual phase composition, morphology and granulometry of alite and belite grains, along with availability and quality of the cementing materials, prevalent standard norms and regulations. In view of above, present paper highlights the effect of different clinkers in terms of potential minerals as per Bogue calculations (CL-1:C3S-48.20%, C3A-6.30%; CL-2:C3S-54.20%, C3A-9.30% and CL-3: C3S-60.05%, C3A-9.0%) on mechanical strength of fly ash-limestone based ternary cement blends, Portland composite cements, similar to CEM-II/A, B-M as per EN-197-1, prepared with 15, 20, 25, 30 and 35% by weight fly ash and 5 & 10% by weight limestone, by inter-grinding of all cement constituents process, maintaining Blaine’s fineness at 370±10m2/kg, and the results of compressive strength at different curing ages showed optimum strength development in case of clinker CL-2 with potential phases, C3S-54.20% and C3A-9.30%, thus leading to better management of natural resources and extended mine life.

This research documents the results of tests on stub columns tested under repeated monotonic compression load. Two unplasticized polyvinyl chloride (uPVC) tubes were filled with normal and high strength concrete. From each type of concrete three control specimens were also cast for comparison purposes. The experimental test results show that the unconfined specimens were crushed in the first cycle of loading in contrast to the confined specimens which continued to resist the applied load after several cycles of repeated loading. Furthermore, by using the polymeric tube, the failure of concrete core switches from sudden explosive failure to non-brittle failure with the composite specimen undergoing large progressive deformation in each cycle of loading. For each cycle of loading, the material damage in the composite system was evaluated in terms of the deformations in both the lateral and axial directions.

In the present times, awareness regarding preventive healthcare is on the raise, consequently, inclination towards Ayurveda is greater than before. In order to meet the demands for pleasing and agreeable products, there is a need to bring in suitable Ayurvedic products while maintaining their quality and efficacy. Different references for a same product can be seen in various Ayurveda treatises. In Ayurveda, reference of Gudapaka Kalpana (Jaggery confections) was for the first time mentioned in Chakradatta, Arsha Chikitsa1(treatment of piles). The main in- gredient in this formulation is Jaggery. Hence, such formulations have better palatability than any other Ayurvedic dosage form. Manibhadra Yoga2 is one such formulation. The aim of this study was to validate the method of manufacture of Manibhadra Yoga. Hence, three different methods of Gudapaka preparations were adopted in addition to novel methods.

Hypertension is one of the major causes of cardiovascular morbidity and mortality worldwide. It is a global health problem affecting the people of different ethnicity and ages around the world. An estimated 1.13 billion people worldwide have hypertension, most (two-thirds) living in low- and middle-income countries. According to WHO (2015) the overall prevalence of hypertension in India was 24.2% and 22% among the men and women respectively. Hypertension is called a silent killer, non-communicable chronic disease because it rarely exhibits symptoms before it damages vital organs like kidney, brain or heart. In Ayurveda there is not a single disease which resemble with hypertension, but physician should understand the disease through Dosha, Dushya, Samprapti and initiate the treatment. A lot of potent modern antihypertensive drugs are available but none of them are free from untoward side-effects. So, a clinical study was done using herbal formulation containing Sarpaghandha, Sankhpushpi, Arjuna, Jatamansi and Ashwagandha in the form of Ghanvati. A comparative study was done as this Ghanvati was given with and without Gokshur kwath. For clinical study 52 (Group A- 25 and Group B- 27) clinically diagnosed patients of essential hypertension who fulfil inclusion criteria were selected irrespective of their age, sex, religion, occupation etc. and simple random sampling technique was followed for grouping the patients into 2 groups. All the patients selected for the clinical trial were divided in two groups ‘A’ and ‘B’. Patients of Group A were given 250 mg of Ghanvati two times a day with water as Anupan and patients of Group B were given 250 mg of Ghanvati with water as Anupan and Gokshur kwath both two times a day. Duration of the study for each group was 30 days. The present study showed that herbal formulation is also effective in the management of essential hypertension.

Humans are progressively achieving new heights in the development of science and technology but at the same time it is difficult to follow the ways of healthy living as a consequence of which people are getting prone to many diseases. Among them “Anemia” is a very common disease, seen especially in developing countries like India. It reduces the work capacity of individuals and brings serious economic consequences and obstacles to the National Development. In this study, an effort has been put upon to explore the hidden potential laid in Ayurveda. So, in this research work, a comparative study was conducted between a herbo-mineral compound – Dhatri Lauha with a controlled group known drug. In the present study, total 30 patients were registered and randomly divided into two groups. Group A: 15 patients were included in this group and were given Dhatri Lauha 500mg BD oral- ly. Group B: 15 patients were included in this group and were given dried Ferrous Sulphate 150mg OD orally. The patients were assessed on subjective and hematological parameters for obtaining the effect of the drugs. Both the groups yielded highly significant results in subjective parameters. Again, highly significant and significant relief was seen in Nausea and constipation respectively in Group A whereas Group B showed insignificant results regarding nausea and constipation. The study Overall comparison of the therapy showed that the results were found better with high percentage relief in the patients under Trial Group i.e. Dhatri Lauha in comparison to the Control Group. The study concluded that the selected management has potential effect on Pandu Roga with the added advantage of being free from side effects. Keywords: Herbo-mineral, DhatriLauha, hematological, Pandu roga.
