Disaster Risk Research, Science and Innovation for Sustainability - Asian Cas...ESD UNU-IAS
Editors: Indrajit Pal, Sangam Shrestha, Rajib Shaw, Dyah R. Hizbaron, Tomonori Ichinose, Yon Yonariza, Takashi Oda. Associate Editor: Ganesh Dhungana
This book – a compilation of the findings of twenty carefully selected case studies across nine countries in the Asian region – constitutes an admirable effort to advance our understanding about how to improve the efficacy of the measures to reduce disaster-risks. Notwithstanding the diversity of the country settings, the variety of climate-induced risks, and the ambit of risk reduction strategies and practices across the countries, the common message in these case studies points to the centrality of community engagement and recourse to local knowledge, technologies, and wisdom for achieving practicable and enduring redress of disaster risks.

Micro RNA genes and their likely influence in rice (Oryza sativa L.) dynamic ...Open Access Research Paper
Micro RNAs (miRNAs) are small non-coding RNAs molecules having approximately 18-25 nucleotides, they are present in both plants and animals genomes. MiRNAs have diverse spatial expression patterns and regulate various developmental metabolisms, stress responses and other physiological processes. The dynamic gene expression playing major roles in phenotypic differences in organisms are believed to be controlled by miRNAs. Mutations in regions of regulatory factors, such as miRNA genes or transcription factors (TF) necessitated by dynamic environmental factors or pathogen infections, have tremendous effects on structure and expression of genes. The resultant novel gene products presents potential explanations for constant evolving desirable traits that have long been bred using conventional means, biotechnology or genetic engineering. Rice grain quality, yield, disease tolerance, climate-resilience and palatability properties are not exceptional to miRN Asmutations effects. There are new insights courtesy of high-throughput sequencing and improved proteomic techniques that organisms’ complexity and adaptations are highly contributed by miRNAs containing regulatory networks. This article aims to expound on how rice miRNAs could be driving evolution of traits and highlight the latest miRNA research progress. Moreover, the review accentuates miRNAs grey areas to be addressed and gives recommendations for further studies.

The objective of this work is to contribute to valorization de Nephelium lappaceum by the characterization of kinetics of drying of seeds of Nephelium lappaceum. The seeds were dehydrated until a constant mass respectively in a drying oven and a microwawe oven. The temperatures and the powers of drying are respectively: 50, 60 and 70°C and 140, 280 and 420 W. The results show that the curves of drying of seeds of Nephelium lappaceum do not present a phase of constant kinetics. The coefficients of diffusion vary between 2.09.10-8 to 2.98. 10-8m-2/s in the interval of 50°C at 70°C and between 4.83×10-07 at 9.04×10-07 m-8/s for the powers going of 140 W with 420 W the relation between Arrhenius and a value of energy of activation of 16.49 kJ. mol-1 expressed the effect of the temperature on effective diffusivity.

Diabetes is a rapidly and serious health problem in Pakistan. This chronic condition is associated with serious long-term complications, including higher risk of heart disease and stroke. Aggressive treatment of hypertension and hyperlipideamia can result in a substantial reduction in cardiovascular events in patients with diabetes 1. Consequently pharmacist-led diabetes cardiovascular risk (DCVR) clinics have been established in both primary and secondary care sites in NHS Lothian during the past five years. An audit of the pharmaceutical care delivery at the clinics was conducted in order to evaluate practice and to standardize the pharmacists’ documentation of outcomes. Pharmaceutical care issues (PCI) and patient details were collected both prospectively and retrospectively from three DCVR clinics. The PCI`s were categorized according to a triangularised system consisting of multiple categories. These were ‘checks’, ‘changes’ (‘change in drug therapy process’ and ‘change in drug therapy’), ‘drug therapy problems’ and ‘quality assurance descriptors’ (‘timer perspective’ and ‘degree of change’). A verified medication assessment tool (MAT) for patients with chronic cardiovascular disease was applied to the patients from one of the clinics. The tool was used to quantify PCI`s and pharmacist actions that were centered on implementing or enforcing clinical guideline standards. A database was developed to be used as an assessment tool and to standardize the documentation of achievement of outcomes. Feedback on the audit of the pharmaceutical care delivery and the database was received from the DCVR clinic pharmacist at a focus group meeting.
"Understanding the Carbon Cycle: Processes, Human Impacts, and Strategies for...MMariSelvam4
The carbon cycle is a critical component of Earth's environmental system, governing the movement and transformation of carbon through various reservoirs, including the atmosphere, oceans, soil, and living organisms. This complex cycle involves several key processes such as photosynthesis, respiration, decomposition, and carbon sequestration, each contributing to the regulation of carbon levels on the planet.
Human activities, particularly fossil fuel combustion and deforestation, have significantly altered the natural carbon cycle, leading to increased atmospheric carbon dioxide concentrations and driving climate change. Understanding the intricacies of the carbon cycle is essential for assessing the impacts of these changes and developing effective mitigation strategies.
By studying the carbon cycle, scientists can identify carbon sources and sinks, measure carbon fluxes, and predict future trends. This knowledge is crucial for crafting policies aimed at reducing carbon emissions, enhancing carbon storage, and promoting sustainable practices. The carbon cycle's interplay with climate systems, ecosystems, and human activities underscores its importance in maintaining a stable and healthy planet.
In-depth exploration of the carbon cycle reveals the delicate balance required to sustain life and the urgent need to address anthropogenic influences. Through research, education, and policy, we can work towards restoring equilibrium in the carbon cycle and ensuring a sustainable future for generations to come.
UNDERSTANDING WHAT GREEN WASHING IS!.pdfJulietMogola
Many companies today use green washing to lure the public into thinking they are conserving the environment but in real sense they are doing more harm. There have been such several cases from very big companies here in Kenya and also globally. This ranges from various sectors from manufacturing and goes to consumer products. Educating people on greenwashing will enable people to make better choices based on their analysis and not on what they see on marketing sites.

FE Report
Experts on Monday underscored the need for collective efforts from the government and
stakeholders to combat climate change effects aiming to help attain the Sustainable development
goals (SDGs) for Bangladesh.
Different issues like salinity in the water of costal belt, prolonged drought, excessive rain,
prolonged floods; rise of sea level due to melting of ice, excessive heats, cyclones, variability to
tsunamis and earthquakes are needed to be mitigated, according to them.
They also suggested a mass migration management, creation of a seed bank for the sake of
country’s future food security.
Besides, the experts also called for necessary steps for making fresh drinkable water available in
the wake of the ongoing global climate change effects.
The call was made in an international seminar titled 'Challenges of Climate Change and
Resilience' was held at University of Dhaka (DU) organized jointly by Institute of Disaster
Management and Vulnerability Studies (IDMVS) and Oxfam Bangladesh.
Vice-Chancellor of University of Asia Pacific, Prof. Dr Jamilur Reza Choudhury, Director of
IDMVS, DU Prof. Dr Mahbuba Nasreen, Pro-Vice-Chancellor of Bangladesh Open University,
Prof. Dr Khondoker Mokaddem Hossain, Interim Country Director of Oxfam Bangladesh, M.B.
Akhter, Ohio State University Professor of Social Science, J. Craig Jenkins, Team Leader of
IEDMVS-SIMON Project, Dr Javier Chercoles, Senior Lecturer in Economics of Lincoln
University, Dr Nazmun N. Ratna, Development Coordinator of Oxfam Bangladesh, Tapas R.
Chakraborty, among others, were present in the international seminar.
Speaking on the seminar Dr Jamilur Reza Choudhury addressed the human created disasters like
‘RANA PLAZA’ incidents and emphasized on reduction of infrastructural disasters through
adequate monitoring by the authority and policy implementation for such development in the
country.
2. He also laid emphasis on proactive research by the researchers of the country to avoid accidents
and human created disasters and introduce compensation insurance for the workers of the ready-
made-garment (RMG) sector of the country.
“The climate change effect has put the coastal inhabitants in a vulnerable situation. Proper risk
assessment and integrated plan of actions with adequate research are necessary to mitigate such
risks,” he added.
Experts also cautioned about the drastic effects of global climate change and take necessary
integrated community action plans with adequate collaborative integrated approach from
government, development and donor agencies with adequate policy support, research and
implementation of such policies with highest priority to combat such vulnerabilities.
