Considering our light speed growing Planck scale universe, it seems possible to develop a practical model of Hubble-Hawking Universe by using which cosmic temperature and Hubble parameter can be correlated accurately. Without considering galactic dark matter, galactic flat rotation speeds can be addressed with ‘super gravity’ of galactic baryonic mass. In this context, (180 to 200) million solar masses can be considered as a characteristic upper mass limit of ordinary gravity. Considering the proposed current upper mass limit of ordinary gravity as a characteristic weak interaction mass unit, hypothecated galactic dark matter can be quantified. Clearly speaking, weak interaction boosts the gravity of galaxies in proportion to their virtual dark mass as (galactic baryonic mass)3/2 / (200 million solar masses)1/2. Based on cosmic recombination temperature and baryon acoustic bubble radius, upper mass limit of gravity can also be fitted. With further study, dark matter existence and physical properties can be explored.

The utilization of sugar beet fiber (SBF) and rice-based distillers dried grain (RB-DDG) as a source of food ingredients is a prime focus of this short study. SBF and RB-DDG are extracted from waste sugar beet pulp produced in the sugar industry and grain-based distillery respectively. The mixture of SBF and RB-DDG has been given the name HNFP (Healthy nutrients-rich fine powder). The oven drying, grinding, mixing, and mesh screening were used for the preparation of HNFP from the two raw industrial wastes. HNFP has components, Carbohydrates, proteins, fibers, vitamins, and minerals. Which has the potential to be utilized as an essential food ingredient. The prepared HNFP has obtained results that show cation exchange capacity, water holding capacity, and oil binding capacity as 0.5 mEq/gm, 8.5 gm/gm, and 1.95 gm/gm respectively, or the average swelling capacity 12 ml/gm was obtained. These properties complete the requirements of good food ingredients for the human gut system. This communication is the first article that represents an idea that will analyze the use of HNFP as a food additive extracted from sugar beet fiber with a combination of high nutrients rich rice-based distillers dried grain (RB-DDG).

Considering the rapid depletion of natural resources because of increasing comfort conditions in living spaces and increasing expectations from buildings due to developing technology and climate change, today it has become inevitable to develop effective policies to meet the energy demand of buildings and to create renewable and sustainable systems. In this context, new generation building design in architecture requires regulations that reduce energy consumption, protect natural resources while considering climatic conditions and carbon emissions. In this study, buildings with net-positive energy were evaluated with the comparative analysis method and inferences were made for new generation building designs. In the first step, the properties of buildings with net-positive energy are discussed. Then, it is aimed to evaluate the buildings in which the design principles determined for a positive energy building are applied according to these features. In this context, ten buildings, which can produce more energy than the energy they consume and whose designs were made by considering the energy criteria developed according to different climatic regions, were examined. It is aimed the outcomes of this study to raise awareness against building design concepts with net-positive energy and contribute to raise the number of buildings designed with energy concepts.

Preserving and documenting ethnobotanical knowledge and plant use practices by ethnic groups is an urgent responsibility. This study aims to determine and document the ecological requirements and the distribution of Piper borneense varieties, their growth habits, and their morphological characteristics. This study was conducted in Belaga, Tatau and Bintulu, Sarawak, Malaysia. The plant samples were collected, Global Positioning System (GPS) readings and ecological conditions were recorded, and plant samples were analysed. Three different varieties were identified, and variety 1 was found to be widespread in the study area. The distribution of Piper species variety was greatly influenced by human activities and natural factors, while the growth habit was greatly influenced by soil's organic substrate, light intensity and soil moisture. Changes to forest environment area need to be monitored so that the growth of wild piper community and its growth habits are easily understood for sustainable forest management.

This study was conducted to determine the effects of biopesticides, used in the control of Plutella xylostella, major bioaggressor of cabbage, on its auxiliaries as well as on cabbage quality. It took place in a field of 65 m2, located in Malika, peri-urban area of Dakar. Treatments, based on Crateva religiosa (200g/l), Calotropis procera (400g/l), a mixture of the two products, and the control, were performed every two weeks on a random block device. Analysis of the results was done with the Rstudio software. Results showed that untreated plots were more infested with Plutella xylostella larvae (p-value = 0.01271). Efficacy of Calotropis procera on P. xylostella larvae has been demonstrated. The effect was all the more interesting since auxiliaries were not affected by treatments, as the regular sampling revealed. A satisfactory agronomic result was obtained at the end of this test, with as indicator, a much larger harvest from the treated plots.

The rising costs of living, the increasing trend of healthy lifestyle and limitations of agricultural area led to the introduction of community garden. Nevertheless, the low level of community knowledge and expertise by using technology in cultivation forces communities to continue cultivating crops using their existing experiences. Therefore, this study examines the role of institutions in increasing community involvement by utilizing fertigation methods to cultivate in community gardens. A quantitative study was conducted on 50 respondents in Kampung Gali Hilir, Pahang. In general, agripreneurs agree that agricultural institutions play a crucial role in providing information and assistance on fertigation cultivation through courses and training, providing agricultural inputs and conducting related programs. There is a need to strengthen the institutional approaches, thereby increasing farmers’ participation in new methods introduced. This to ensure that the community receives the benefit of new methods, as well as the sustainability of community garden and environment.

Since the novel coronavirus 2019 (COVID-19) outbroke a global pandemic, nearly 2.5 years of adapting to lockdown, isolation, separation and masking up has tremendous shift in our social and daily life. Face covering is imperative to prevent infection and slow the spread of COVID-19, it hinders communication by reducing one’s ability to recognize and interpret the facial expression and emotion of whom we are interacting. Specifically, face coverings would hinder children’s learning ability and varies development, including cognitive, speech, emotions and social interaction. A survey was conducted to collect primary data about 1) students’ ability to recognize emotions of masked faces and 2) students’ perception on teaching performance when teachers’ mouth and facial expression are hidden away. Survey results found that among six fundamental emotions (surprise, sadness, fear, happiness, anger and disgust), disgusted and happy expressions are relatively difficult to be recognized correctly compared with other emotional expressions. The survey also found that facial expressions of a teacher make teaching more interesting and engaging. Lack of facial expression makes both teaching and learning inefficient. Finally, this paper suggested that teachers may put more emphasis on other non-verbal communications to alleviate the problem.

Olive oil is depicted as "green gold" in Libya. It plays an inevitable role in Libyan food culture and countries' economies. This review highlighted the most recent advances and challenges about the botanical classification of olives', factors affecting olive oil quality and virgin olive oil processing techniques. Furthermore, this review explores the most significant attributes of olive oil in health and pharmaceutical applications. For instance, reduced pure olive oil considerably lowers the risk of cholesterol-related and other vascular diseases. Also exhibits excellent pharmaceutical properties for curing oxidative damage linked to cancer and neurodegenerative diseases. In addition, this review highlights the nutritional and food benefit of olive oil. Olive oil is an excellent antioxidant whereby olive oil can be applied to protect highly refined food such as meat from any pathogenic food spoilage. We hope that this review will give comprehensive knowledge about the health benefits of olive oil, which help to utilise oil in pharmaceuticals.
