The potential microalgal strains that are robust and display high growth and lipid accumulation rates are an important prerequisite for using them as a bioenergy source. We have isolated and screened six morphologically different microalgae strains, isolated from the Sabarmati River in Gujarat, India. The growth rates and lipid productivity of all six microalgae were assessed. Three potential microalgae strains were screened based on maximum biomass and lipid production. We named them MA001, MA002 and MA003. We identified MA001 as Micractinium reisseri based on its 28S rRNA sequencing. The M. reisseri showed an optimal growth rate of 2 g/L (dry weight) and 52 % lipid content after 20 days of cultivation in a normal artificial saline medium. Further analysis of lipid accumulation in M. reisseri was investigated at different concentrations of nitrogen. M. reisseri accumulated the highest amount of lipid under nitrogen starvation.

In this work, 8 meteorological variables were modeled in the Yabú station, Cuba, for which the daily database of this meteorological station was used, where the meteorological variables were taken into account are: extreme temperatures, extreme humidity and its average value, precipitation, wind force and cloudiness corresponding to the period 1977 to 2021. A linear mathematical model was obtained using the Objective Regressive Regression (ORR) methodology for each variable, which explains its behavior according to these variables, 15, 13, 10 and 8 years in advance. The calculation of the mean error with respect to the persistence forecast in temperatures, wind strength and cloudiness, as well as the persistence model was better with respect to humidity, this allows having valuable long-term information of the weather in a locality, which results in better decision making in the different aspects of the economy and society that are impacted by the weather forecast. It is concluded that these models allow long-term weather forecasting, opening a new possibility for forecasting, so that weather chaos can be overcome if this way of forecasting is used; moreover, it is the first time that an ORR model is applied to weather forecasting processes for a specific day so many years in advance.

The increase in number of Postpartum Depression (PPD) cases in Kerala is increasing day by day. So, a study on the awareness of PPD has become necessary in this scenario. This study tries to quantify the awareness among women in Kerala about PPD and covers how they tackled the issue through various methods used by them to cope with the issue. The study is conducted using an online survey method. A prepared questionnaire was circulated online among 150 young mothers who were born and brought up in Kerala. The questionnaire consisted of eight questions about PPD and baby blues. Each question was provided with options from which the participants had to choose one. The data thus collected were studied and analyzed. The results of the survey were analyzed to arrive at a conclusion. There was active participation from the participants’ side. The results showed that the percentage of participants who were well aware of PPD was very low. The study brought to light that, much attention and activities are needed to solve PPD cases in Kerala. Most women who suffer from PPD are reluctant to seek medical help. This situation can change through proper campaigns and other related activities.

Plankton are small microscopic organisms, comprising diatoms and algae, which form the basis of primary production, whereas zooplankton are mainly crustaceans, rotifers and larval stages of larger animals which constitute the higher aquatic food web. Both are bio-indicators of a water body, constituting the main food for the carnivorous and omnivorous fishes in the aquatic ecosystem. In the present work, a detailed analysis of zooplankton diversity along with variations in species, and seasonal abundance with average and total population density was carried out in different types of domestic sewage oxidation ponds. Similar analysis for a comparison was done in a freshwater control pond situated in Bhopal India. In this study out of 8 ponds, 4 were selected for zooplankton analysis two being primary and two being secondary sewage oxidation ponds and one freshwater control pond was selected for comparative analysis. The results indicated that the number of zooplankton in all ponds ranged from 162 to 14776 org/L, seasonally it was observed that the sewage oxidation ponds had the maximum population of zooplankton in winter, followed by rainy and summer seasons. Regarding the population of zooplankton in the individual oxidation ponds, it was found that sewage secondary pond IIIB had the maximum zooplankton followed by IIIA. Interesting observations on the cascading effects of physicochemical parameters on plankton dynamics, including the variations in the diel population of various species of zooplankton have been recorded. The phenomenon of plankton grazing in different types of domestic sewage ponds is being reported for the first time.
