Kalu river basin is the 2nd largest river basin in Sri Lanka which covers 2766km2 of land. Much of the catchment area of the river is located in the highest rainfall area in the country. The average annual rainfall of the area is around 4000mm. The basin has steep gradient in upper part of the land and mild gradient in lower areas.The lower flood plains suffer from frequent floods during south-western monsoon season. The lower areas are densely populated and the land is a potential area for paddy cultivation.
Kalu river basin is a highest vulnerable location for floods. Frequent flooding along the Kalu Ganga is a common phenomenon that people live around the banks of Kalu Ganga and its tributaries experience every year.
The floods occur basically due to the high amount of rainfall in the catchment area and due to the gradient differences of the river. The gradient is very low in downstream of Rathnapura to upper stream of Kalutara town. This low gradient is inadequate to provide the sufficient velocity for the water to move downstream. The narrow gap or the bottleneck in Ellagawa area of the river retains the water for several days in the Ratnapura District before it releases to Kalutara District. Heavy extraction of river sand and the lack of proper constructions of infrastructures are also major causes for floods in Kalu river basin.
Program for Hydro-Meteorological Disaster Mitigation for Secondary Cities in South and South East Asia (PROMISE) recognized Kalutara as a secondary city that suffers annually due to floods and designed program to suit the needs of the city. Hazard mapping and vulnerability assessment, Kalu Ganga river flood forecasting and warning system, Demonstration activities as a measure for disaster preparedness and mitigation, Micro credit scheme as a measure of mitigation of flood impacts on the livelihood of urban poor, Activities to build the community awareness on flood risk management are some mitigation methods for floods.
Educating people more about the floods, having a proper flood alert system & Meteorological alert system, building a series of levees to prevent flood water spilling into low lying areas building a bypass canal which will take surplus water around Ratnapura town back to the river preventing the town from getting flooded, building a reservoir at Malwala several kilometers upstream from the town, Diversion of Kalu Ganga to Ruhuna, Having proper technological construction systems are some recommendations which can be dispensed for the current situation of floods in Kalu river basin.

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.

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.
"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.

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.

12. Kolkata is now a Megacity
• the greater Kolkata extending over 1851 sq.
km. and holding a population of about 15
million. The Kolkata megaity is bisected by
Hooghly river over a length of about 80 km
• southern fringe of Kolkata and the bay
(Diamond Harbour) is about 30 km. and as
such Kolkata always has the risk of storm
surge during the monsoon through river
Hooghly streched over a period of four
months.
13. • Kolkata has witnessed series of
events involving social and
economic changes
• The lack of infrastructure and
improper drainage managemnet
makes the metro city population
quite vulnarable for any events
related to flood or water level rise
14. The Study Area :
The study was planned by World Bank to be carried out in
Kolkata. Kolkata is selected
• Because of its size (second largest city in
India),
• Level of vulnerability (e.g., the slum
population is one third of its total population)
and lives and livelihoods at risk.
• In addition, ‘integrated coastal zone
management’ and the ‘capacity building for
industrial pollution management’ projects.
15. Part of the assignment Described in this Paper
• Detailed knowledge of past and present
situations
• Establish representative baseline scenario
