Most analysis of global warming are seldom analyses the countries adaptability to the climate change but may have an impact on the strategy of tackling global worming. Even if considered the influence, just works with the simple static model and not the dynamic model to analyze. This study is considering adaptation that is crucial for the analysis of the pollutant control problems in the dynamic framework. We show that the optimal trajectory and stock in the global optimality and Nash equilibrium respectively.

Bangladesh is a developing and densely populated country. The process of urbanization is increasing day by day in this country. But planned development is challenging here. Bangladesh is the largest delta in the world. Due to geographical location, Bangladesh is naturally prone to disasters. Not only that Bangladesh is also under the thread of global worming and climate change related issues. Although Bangladesh is not contributing much to global greenhouse gas increase, Bangladesh is one of the largest victims of the adverse impacts of global worming and climate change. To reduce the impact and damage it is necessary to formulate risk reduction land use plan incorporating socioeconomic and geo-physical aspects. Mirsharai is a coastal Upazila situated in Chattogram District of Bangladesh. The area is highly prone to disaster and affected by climate change related problems. So, the area is ideal for this kind of study. In this paper, socioeconomic characteristics such as affordability, investment potentiality, demand and need has been analyzed. Result shows that people’s affordability is not good in most of the places of Mirsharai Upazila but in some isolated areas like small urban area or growth centres, people’s affordability and other socioeconomic conditions are good. Geo-physical aspects such as Infrastructure, ground water recharge, water logging tendency, Road accessibility, Ground elevation, Agricultural crop pattern and Land use were used to calculate development suitability and development conflict using Multi-criteria Analysis technique. Based on development suitability and conflict 4 category were identified as highly suitable, suitable, moderately suitable and less suitable area for development. Similarly, highly conflicted, conflicted, moderately conflicted and less conflicted areas for development were identified. Finally, by comparing development conflict and suitability maps, a relative development suitability map was produced marking highly suitable, suitable, moderately suitable, less suitable, partially unsuitable and completely unsuitable areas for development. These types of socioeconomic and geo-physical condition analysis can help making clear understanding on the study area for making risk sensitive land use plan.

Full textAbstract:
Background. Cystic echinococcosis (CE), caused by the tapeworm species, Echinococcus granulosus sensu stricto (G1), is one of many primary neglected zoonoses worldwide. Within endemic developing countries, CE has multiple effects on animal and human health and well-being. To address such effects, veterinary and human medical sector collaboration on prevention program delivery is essential. To begin preliminary evaluations of county specific prevention programs, a critically appraised topic (CAT) was conducted. It sought to answer: What impact do CE prevention programs have on human and animal disease prevalence, in populations living in endemic developing countries within Africa, Central Asia, and South America? Methodology. The aim was to assess the ability of prevention and control program outputs to produce measurable differences in health, social, and economic outcomes (e.g., improved access to medical services, positive behavioral change, or reduced treatment costs, respectively). Included articles were obtained using predefined inclusion/exclusion criteria from the four databases (CAB Abstracts and Global Health; the National Library of Medicine (PubMed); ScienceDirect; and WHO Institutional Repository of Information Sharing (IRIS)). The articles were appraised using three checklists: the Royal College of Veterinary Surgeons (RCVS), the Critical Appraisals Skills Programme (CASP), and the Joanna Briggs Institute checklists. Results. Ten articles were selected. Geographically, 20% of studies were conducted in South America, 30% in Africa, and 50% in Central Asia. For definitive hosts, dogs, CoproELISA antigen testing, before and after Praziquantel (PZQ) de-worming, was a primary focus. For humans, who are intermediate hosts (IH), disease surveillance methods, namely ultrasound (US), were commonly assessed. Whilst for sheep, also acting as IH, disease prevention methods, such as the EG95 livestock vaccine and de-worming farm dogs, were evaluated. Common to all studies were issues of program sustainability, in terms of regular human US screening, dog de-worming, and annual sheep vaccination. This was attributed to transient and remote human or animal populations; limited access to adequate roads or hospitals; few skilled health workers or veterinarians; an over-reliance on communities to administer preventatives; and limited resources. Conclusion. Despite variations in result validity and collection periods, useful comparisons of CE endemic countries produced key research and program recommendations. Future research recommendations included testing the significance of multiple program outcomes in relation to prevalence (e.g., the social outcome: behavioral change), further research on the impact of livestock vaccinations, and the CE transmission role of waterways and sanitation. Program recommendations included calculating and distinguishing between stray versus owned dog populations; formal representation of internal and external stakeholder interests through institutional organization; establishing sustainable guidelines around the frequency of PZQ and vaccination administration; improved veterinary-human medical training and resource sharing; and combined prevention methods and multiple canine disease management.

Full textAbstract:
In view of the up-scaling energy crises worldwide, efforts have been focusing on reducing energy consumption and replacing fossil fuels usage with renewable energy sources. Thailand is one of the developing countries that have been facing an increase in energy demand associated to its economic expansion. The development in the educational sector is one of the sectors causing an increasing energy demand.Purpose: This study aims to quantify energy usage and understand its environmental impacts in one of the educational facilities in Thailand in order to identify energy saving opportunities and improvement options related to energy consumption in this sector. Materials and Methods: The investigation included a historical energy analysis for energy utilization of the facility, an onsite energy audit and an environmental impacts assessment. A number of potential energy saving opportunities was identified; related cost savings and CO2 reduction were calculated. Additionally, the environmental impacts of energy utilization were simulated using the life cycle assessment technique. Special attention was given to potential impacts on global warming due to its direct association to fossil fuels combustion.Results and discussion: the pattern of energy utilization was identified and it clarified that the major contributor to energy utilization was energy consumption practices by students and staff of the faculty. Consequently, awareness raising of energy saving opportunities and people involvement was the major area of improvement. Results show that increasing people involvement in energy saving practices could lead to a cost saving of 46,000-120,000 USD/Year with low cost investment and a 100-240 ton CO2 reduction. Other potential savings were using motion sensors which save 30-40% of energy costs in offices and utilizing renewable solar energy as a source for electricity. This will save 13,300-33,300 USD/Year with a 7.5 years payback and 35-50 years lifetime.When assessing the associated environmental impacts to electricity production, five main categories were found to be impacted: fossil fuels depletion, respiratory inorganics formation potential, global worming potential, acidification potential and eutrophication potential. The application of the suggested energy saving opportunities will reduce the electricity consumption, lower generated air emissions from fossil fuels combustion, consequently minimize all associated impacts specially global worming potential.In Conclusion: assessing energy utilization of educational facilities is essential to reduce energy demand in an up-scaling economy. Energy analysis and onsite energy audits are efficient methods for recognizing energy utilization patterns and identifying energy saving opportunities. The implemented investigation in this study can be applied in different educational facilities.

Intestinal worm infestation is a global health problem. Soil-transmitted helminth (STH) infections form the most important group of intestinal worms affecting two billion people worldwide, causing considerable morbidity and suffering, though entirely preventable. In March 2017, STH Program implemented, for the first time, the Integrated Community-based Survey for STH Program Monitoring (ICSPM). The ICSPM seeks to provide the STH Program monitoring data to improve evidence-based program decision making toward elimination of STH in Bangladesh. Children without Worms provided technical and funding support (with Johnson & Johnson) for the surveys. Firstly, provide statistically valid, district-level estimates of STH prevalence and intensity of infection that are specific to, and representative of key STH at-risk age groups. Secondly, assess potential factors affecting STH infection rates including recent preventive chemotherapy coverage, sanitation coverage, and specific hygiene-related behaviors. STH control activities are more diffuse, aiming to piggy-back de-worming onto existing services such as school health activities; controlling morbidity, rather than eliminating infection, is the stated goal. In order to maximize health benefits to communities, it is vitally important that policy makers and program managers have a clear understanding of STH and implement control programs that allocate available resources in an optimal manner.

Full textAbstract:
This research explores the carbon removal of a novel bio-insulation composite, here called MycoBamboo, based on the combination of bamboo particles and mycelium as binder. First, an attributional life cycle assessment (LCA) was performed to define the carbon footprint of a European bamboo plantation and a bio-insulation composite, as well as its ability to remove CO2 along its lifecycle at a laboratory scale. Secondly, the Global Worming Potential (GWP) was estimated through a dynamic LCA with selected end-of-life and technical replacement scenarios. Finally, a building wall application was analyzed to measure the carbon saving potential of the MycoBamboo when compared with alternative insulation materials applied as an exterior thermal insulation composite system. The results demonstrate that despite the negative GWP values of the biogenic CO2, the final Net-GWP was positive. The technical replacement scenarios had an influence on the final Net-GWP values, and a longer storage period is preferred to more frequent insulation substitution. The type of energy source and the deactivation phase play important roles in the mitigation of climate change. Therefore, to make the MycoBamboo competitive as an insulation system at the industrial scale, it is fundamental to identify alternative low-energy deactivation modes and shift all energy-intensity activities during the production phase to renewable energy.

Intestinal worm infestation is a global health problem. Soil-transmitted Helminths (STH) infects nearly 2 billion people of world’s population with children being the most affected. STH infections rarely cause mortality with diarrhea, abdominal pain and low hemoglobin levels as the immediate outcome of infections, however, the long term effects of these infections are far more sinister as those with infections show reduced cognitive abilities, intellectual capacity and lower work productivity. Due to the subtropical monsoonal climate and being a least developed country, Bangladesh is endemic for helminthes infection especially for STH. There are a very few studies conducted on STH infection in Bangladesh. In March 2017, the Program implemented STH monitoring surveys in Nilphamari districts. Trained medical technologists conducted laboratory testing of stool samples using the Kato-Katz method. Survey teams collected hygiene, sanitation, and preventive drug treatment-related information using standardized questionnaires administered during household visits. Firstly, provide statistically valid, district-level estimates of STH prevalence and intensity of infection that are specific to, and representative of key STH at-risk age groups.

Full textAbstract:
Polychaete worms of the Polydora-complex (commonly referred to as polydorins) include some of the most common pests of cultured molluscs. Modern culture of molluscs, particularly oysters, is associated with large-scale movement of stock which facilitates movement of polydorins either as “hitchhikers” on the transported molluscs or in the packaging. In 2009, a species identified as Polydora cf. ciliata Johnston, 1838 was reported from oysters in a culture facility in Port Elizabeth, South Africa. Since then, more specimens of this species were recorded on farmed oysters from Namibia, Kleinzee and Paternoster on the west coast of South Africa, but tentatively reidentified as Polydora cf. websteri Hartman in Loosanoff and Engle, 1943 based on morphology and limited genetic evidence. The main aim of this study is therefore to clarify the identity of these specimens by integrating morphological and genetic (mitochondrial COI, Cyt b and nuclear 18S rRNA) evidence. Specimens from South Africa match the morphology of the lectotype of P. websteri and are morphologically and genetically very similar to P. websteri from Australia, China, Japan, and the east, gulf and west coasts of the USA. This confirms the presence of P. websteri in South Africa, making this the second most widespread polydorin pest of aquaculture known. Understanding the full distribution range of the species will help to better understand its global route of invasion and consequently assist with preventing or at least minimising further spread. Polydora websteri increases the number of polydorin pests in South Africa to seven.

Full textAbstract:
Background: Intestinal helminthic infections are generally common in children accounting for the largest disability adjusted life years (DALYs) of all the parasitic agents. In this study, we determined the prevalence of intestinal helminthic infections among secondary school students in a semi-urban community in Edo State, Nigeria. Methodology: A descriptive cross sectional study of 489 students from four secondary schools in Esan West Local Government Area of Edo State, Nigeria was conducted between December 2018 and July 2019. The schools were selected by stratified random sampling and all eligible students in each school were enrolled. Stool samples were collected from each student into sterile universal bottle and direct wet mount as well as formol-ether concentrated samples were examined under compound light microscope at the Animal and Environmental Biology Laboratory of the University of Benin, Benin City, Nigeria. Structured questionnaire was administered to collect data on socio-demographic and potential risk factors for helminthic infection. Data were analysed with SPSS version 22.0 and associations between variables compared using Chi square or Fischer exact test, with p<0.05 as significant value.Results: Of the total 489 students examined (261 males, 228 females), 6 had intestinal helminthic infection, giving an overall prevalence rate of 1.2%, with 0.7% (n=2) in males and 1.8% (n=4) in females (p=0.4244). Three helminthic parasites, Ascaris lumbricoides, Trichuris trichiura and Ancylostoma duodenale were identified. All the 6 subjects with helminthiasis had been de-wormed at interval of more than 1 year. Regular hand washing practices (p<0.025) and de-worming interval of 1 year or less (p=0.000) were factors significantly associated with low prevalence of helminthic infection while other risk factors were not significantly associated. Conclusion: The study shows low prevalence of intestinal helminthic infections among secondary school students in Esan West LGA, Edo State, Nigeria. The high level of hand hygiene practices among the participants may account for the low prevalence, which emphasizes the effective role of hygiene practices in the control and elimination of intestinal parasitic infections. De-worming of students at regular interval (yearly) is recommended.Keywords: Intestinal helminth, Prevalence, risk factors, hand hygiene, de-wormingFrench Title: Prévalence des infections helminthiques intestinales chez les élèves du secondaire dans l'État d'Edo, au NigériaContexte: les infections helminthiques intestinales sont généralement fréquentes chez les enfants représentant les plus grandes années de vie corrigées de l'incapacité (Avci) de tous les agents parasitaires. Dans cette étude, nous avons déterminé la prévalence des infections helminthiques intestinales chez les élèves du secondaire dans une communauté semi-urbaine de L'État D'Edo, au Nigeria Méthodologie: une étude transversale descriptive de 489 étudiants de quatre écoles secondaires dans la zone de Gouvernement Local D'Esan West de L'État D'Edo, au Nigeria, a été menée entre décembre 2018 et juillet 2019. Les écoles ont été sélectionnées par échantillonnage aléatoire stratifié et tous les élèves admissibles de chaque école ont été inscrits. Des échantillons de selles ont été prélevés chez chaque étudiant dans une bouteille universelle stérile et une monture humide directe ainsi que des échantillons concentrés de Formol-éther étaient examinés au microscope optique composé au Laboratoire de Biologie animale et environnementale de L'Université du Bénin, Benin City, Nigeria. Un questionnaire structuré a été administré pour recueillir des données sur les facteurs de risque sociodémographiques et potentiels d'infection helminthique. Les données étaient analysées avec la version SPSS 22.0 et les associations entre les variables comparées à L'aide du Chi carré ou du test Fischer exact, avec p<0,05 pris comme valeur significative. Résultats: sur les 489 étudiants examinés (261 hommes, 228 femmes), 6 avaient une infection helminthique intestinale, ce qui donne un taux de prévalence global de 1,2%, avec 0,7% (n=2) chez les hommes et 1,8% (n=4) chez les femmes (p=0,4244). Trois parasites helminthiques, Ascaris lumbricoides, Trichuris trichura et Ancylostoma duodenale ont été identifiés. Tous les 6 sujets avec d'helminthiase avaient été vermifugés à intervalle de plus d’un an. Les pratiques régulières de lavage des mains (p<0,025) et l'intervalle vermifuge de 1 an ou moins (p=0,000) étaient des facteurs significativement associés à une faible prévalence de l'infection helminthique alors que d'autres facteurs de risque n'étaient pas significativement associés. Conclusion: L'étude montre une faible prévalence des infections helminthiques intestinales chez les élèves du secondaire à Esan West LGA, dans L'État D'Edo, au Nigeria. Le niveau élevé de pratiques d'hygiène des mains chez les participants peut expliquer la faible prévalence, ce qui souligne le rôle efficace des pratiques d'hygiène dans le contrôle et l'élimination des infections parasitaires intestinales. Il est recommandé de déparasiter les élèves à intervalles réguliers (chaque année).Mots-clés: helminthes intestinaux, prévalence, facteurs de risque, hygiène des mains, vermifuge

Full textAbstract:
Anaemia is a global public he alth problem associated with increased mortality and morbidity. The highest prevalence of anaemia exists in the developing world where its causes are multi -factorial. The objective of the study was to assess the burden of anaemia and its determinants among pregnant and non- pregnant women in Ethiopia . The 2005 Demographic and Health Survey data of Ethiopia were used . Permission to download and analyze the data was granted from ORC Macro, in Calverton, USA. SPSS v10.0 was used to analyze the data. Both univariate and multivariate analysis were carried out. Trend analysis was done using the stat -calc programme on Epi -info 2002. For all statistical tests , significance level was set at p -value of 0.05. A total of 5960 women of child bearing age were included in t he analysis. The mean haemoglobin was 12.72g/dl (95%CI: 12.66, 12.78g/dl). The general prevalence of anaemia among women was 27.7% (95%CI: 26.6, 28.9%). The prevalence of anaemia was 33.0% (95%CI: 28.7, 37.2%) and 27.3% (95%CI: 26.1, 28.4%) among pregnant and non- pregnant women respectively. The chi 2 for linear trend test revealed a significant negative association between prevalence of anaemia and women’s educational status, grouped altitude of residential places and household wealth index categories (p<0 .05, for all three variables). The prevalence of anaemia was positively associated with past five years fertility level ( chi 2 for linear trend=35.2, df =2, p<0.0001). Not possessing any toilet facilities (OR 1.85 95%CI: 1.66, 2.1), being resident of rural area (OR 2.02 95%CI: 1.75, 2.32) and not using contraceptive methods (OR 1.63 95%CI: 1.34, 1.98) were also associated with prevalence of anaemia among women. Logistic regression showed toilet possession to be the only independent predictor of prevalence of anaemia among pregnant women (Adj OR 2.17 95%CI: 1.28, 3.85). However, regression analysis among non- pregnant women revealed not having any toilet facilities (Adj OR 1.20 95%CI: 1.02, 1.42), lowering altitude categories of residential areas and not using contraception methods (Adj OR 1.39 95%CI: 1.13, 1.72) to be independent predictors of prevalence of anaemia. In conclusion, anaemia is a moderate public health problem among women in Ethiopia but there exist significant differences in magnitude by socio -economic status of women and their families and where they live . Interventions designed to address maternal anaemia should pay attention to both nutritional and non- nutritional intervention strategies that may include environmental sanitation, de -worming, and provision and promotion of family planning methods.

Every human aspires to live healthy and happy life universally. Two such treasures which enable an individual to lead healthy and happy life is through the practice of Yoga with integrated knowledge of its form of 18 chapters in Bhagwad Geetha. It explains the significance and relevance to adopt and apply this evaluated life principles to human life for well-being. In the 21st century where an individual is stressed out with the technical advancements and success, can’t able to understand the real purpose of life.to direct the future generations to the productive path of healthy and happy living “The Wisdom of Bhagwad Geetha “and “Practice of Yoga” can be used. Which constitute the social, cultural and traditional structure of Indian’s. According to the “Mandukopanishad” the knowledge is classified into two. The first is the knowledge about the absolute(universal) and the other is the knowledge of(materialistic) science. This two knowledge combine together help in the holistic development of an individual. NEP (2020) also stresses on the holistic development of learner which can cater the needs of knowledge in 21 century and make the learner a contributing citizen in national construct. But today’s academia concern with the materialistic development ignoring the conventional knowledge (Knowledge about absolute).it is making grow but lacking in experiencing the peace, bliss and satisfaction. Today the human is achieving the heights of success, advancing globally but parallelly inviting the problems like depression and anxiety in personal life, social problems and terrorism in societies and pollution, poverty, global worming universally. The human is moving with a great phase towards self-distraction in ignorance. Thus, the main aim of this paper is to Critically review the existing literature of Yoga in India and Critically Analyse the concept Yoga in Bhagwad Geetha. The review reveals the concept of Yoga in the framework of Bhagwad Geetha philosophy. It helps in Critically evaluate the Assumptions and underpinned practices of yoga. The insights, implementations, principles encourage the practice of yoga and its underlaying links with healthy and happy living. It also enables human race to come out of this ignorance and gain perfect knowledge through the practice. Self -experience and Self -improvement are the chief methods in this knowledge which leads to the perfection and purification of an individual. Thus, it can be stated that the Wholistic development of an individual along with the Sustainable development Goals, Millennium goals etc can be obtained through this practice of Yoga’s in Bhagwad Geetha.

Challenging the global warming and its social and economic consequences to the society, in January 2015, the General Assembly of UN, began the negotiation process on the post-2015 development agenda. The process culminated in the subsequent adoption of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, with 17 SDGs at its core, at the UN Sustainable Development Summit in September 2015. (UN, 25 September 2015). Driving solutions to these challenges the EU also launched the European Green Deal as part of its permanent actions to transform and reshape the model of economic development generating wellbeing’s while tackling global worming consequences to the society and nature. The EU Green Deal is a new growth strategy that aims to transform the EU into a fair and prosperous society, with a modern, resource-efficient and competitive economy where there are no net emissions of greenhouse gases in 2050 and where economic growth is decoupled from resource use. COM (2019). EU Green Deal includes climate action, deforestation, biodiversity protection and restoration, circular economy, critical materials and batteries, sustainable blue economy, international ocean governance, plastic pollution and green transition.

Full textAbstract:
India in 21st century re-emphasized on generation of solar energy by using rooftop solar PV. Looking at global worming and increasing demand of electricity, government of India will be in compulsion to adopt this solar energy in place of existing electricity generation practices. So, by looking at county priority, an attempt has been made to study the perception of household users regarding investment made on rooftop solar PV in place of tradition system. A purposive sampling technique was used to select 100 responses in the city of Bhubaneswar, Odisha, India. The study applies descriptive statistics to know the perception of household user towards rooftop PV. This article suggests that there is ample scope in rooftop solar pv. If private players are being provided with good incentive, motivation and support from state govt. as well as central govt then there will be substantial growth Rooftop solar energy. This study will contribute to the existing knowledge base as well benefited to the practitioner of corporate houses in energy sector.

Full textAbstract:
Outputs of studies of current and scenario changes of the river runoff in the Volga and the Don basins probable in the current century first third part under influence of the global climate change and social/economic transformations are presented. Long-term phases of low and high annual and seasonal runoff of the Volga and the Don over the period from late XIX and early XXI centuries and the human factors’ influence on them have been found. Their duration varies in the wide range reaching eighty years and more. Noticeable runoff changes are characteristic for contrast phases. Integral scenario assessment of the river runoff changes on the basis of various climatic scenarios and water consumption has been given. Rather wide range of the probable runoff changes in comparison with the current situation has been obtained on the basis of scenarios of social/economic development and specific water use changes. Expected increase of the Volga water content under the influence of climatic factors will facilitate improvement of the water/economic situation at this river, while there is no chance to expect water content in the Don. At the same time there is a probability that the current phase of climate worming is going to come to an end and to be replaced by the long-term cold phase and this might cause the corresponding hydrological changes.
