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 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.

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.

2. Sustainable Development
Sustainable development (SD) is
a pattern of economic
development in which resource
use aims to meet human needs
while preserving the
environment so that these needs
can be met not only in the present,
but also for generations to come.
UNCED at Rio de Janeiro
3. Sustainable Development
The term 'sustainable development' was used by the
Brundtland Commission (1987 ) as per it "meets
the needs of the present without compromising
the ability of future generations to meet their
own needs.
According to above definition two key concepts:
the concept of 'needs', in particular the essential
needs of the world's poor, to which overriding priority
should be given
the idea of limitations imposed by the state of
technology and social organization on the
environment's ability to meet present and future
needs.
4. Sustainable Development
Sustainability educator Michael Thomas
Needham referred to 'Sustainable Development'
"as the ability to meet the needs of the present
while contributing to the future generations
needs.”
Additional focus on the present generations'
responsibility to improve the future
generations' life by restoring the previous
ecosystem damage and resisting to
contribute to further ecosystem damage.
"sustainability" was employed to describe an
economy "in equilibrium with basic
ecological support systems."
5. Scheme of sustainable
development
Sustainability necessitates an interrelationship
of the social, economic and environmental
needs of a developing world
The concept of sustainable development has
in the past most often been broken out into
three constituent parts:
Environmental sustainability,
Economic sustainability
Socio political sustainability.
7. Environmental Sustainability
Environmental sustainability is the process of
making sure current processes of
interaction with the environment are
pursued with the idea of keeping the
environment as pristine as naturally .
Environmental sustainability demands that
society designs activities to meet human
needs while indefinitely preserving the life
support systems of the planet.
8. Environmental Sustainability
An "unsustainable situation" occurs when natural
resources are used up faster than it can be
replenished.
Sustainability requires that human activity only
uses nature's resources at a rate at which they
can be replenished naturally.
Sustainable development is intertwined with the
concept of carrying capacity.
This entails using water sustainably, only
utilizing renewable energy, and sustainable
material supplies (e.g. harvesting wood from
forests at a rate that maintains the biomass
and biodiversity).
9. Economic Sustainability
Economic progress is evaluated in terms of
welfare(GNP),more efficient production and consumption
of goods and services.
The stability of prices and employment are among other
important objectives.
To utilize resource to best advantage (efficient and
responsible)
Difference between need and greed
No economic system is sustainable unless it accommodates
the ecosystem it depends
Unlike traditional societies, modern economies have only
recently acknowledged the need to manage scarce
natural resources in a prudent manner – because human
welfare ultimately depends on ecological services
Ignoring safe ecological limits will increase the risk of
undermining long-run prospects for development.
10. Social Sustainability
Social development refers to improvements in both
individual well-being and the overall social welfare
Social Sustainability includes human rights, labor
rights and corporate governance
It emphasizes on individuals behavior, attitude and
actions
Ideal sustainable life style is not to end consumption
but understanding the minimalistic requirement of it
Difference between wants and needs
Challenge to current infrastructure and common
expectations
Thus, social goals includes protective strategies that
reduce vulnerability, improve equity and ensure that
basic needs are met.
12. Appropriate Technology (AT)
The term appropriate technology is used to describe
the use of technology that results in less negative
impacts on the environment and society, i.e.,
technology should be both environmentally
sustainable and socially appropriate.
It is characterized by "low investment cost per
work-place, low capital investment per unit of output,
organizational simplicity, high adaptability to a
particular social or cultural environment, sparing
use of natural resources, low cost of final
product or high potential for employment
Found in both developing and developed
countries.
13. Appropriate technology
“Design with nature”
The goal of Appropriate Technology (AT)
is to increase the standard of living for
the developing world without
condescension, complication, or
environmental damage.
Appropriate technology was meant to
address four problems: extreme poverty,
starvation, unemployment and urban
migration.
14. Solar Powered Lightbulb
Nokero’s N100 solar-powered light bulb .
This clever product stores electricity from daylight, one
of the few commodities rural India, Africa and most of
the third world has abundantly.
Designed specifically for use in developing nations, the
LED bulbs can provide four hours of light when the
battery is fully charged.
That may not sound like much to you or me, but
consider the scarce wood burning fuel this replaces.
The N100 is constructed from impact-resistant plastic
and includes four solar panels, five LEDs and
replaceable NiMH batteries said to last two years.
Complete units cost $15 apiece, but may someday
cost as little as $6 per unit in bulk.
15. Pot-In-Pot Refrigerator
Pot-in-Pot refrigerator, It is a simple cooling
system to preserve food in rural areas with no
electricity.
Which relies on the concept of evaporative
cooling.
The system works by putting a smaller clay pot
inside a larger one, separating the two by
constantly moist sand.
Evaporation causes a cooling effect in the inner
pot.
Eggplants are reported to stay fresh for 27 days,
nine times their usual expiration date. Tomatoes
and peppers can last for up to 21 days
16. Bonus Corn Sheller
Designing products for developing nations is
challenge because inventors are creating
technologies for cultures of which they have little,
or no, experience.
Compatible Technology International visited
Guatemala and observed women hand-shelling
corn.
They saw how labor-intensive the manual shelling
process was, they quickly developed a corn
sheller out of a piece of wood with a hole in the
middle.
The women pushed the ear of corn through the
hole, shaving the kernels from the cob MUCH
17. Lifestraw
In 2009, an estimated 5,000 deaths from unsafe
drinking water occurred every day.
This is down from 6,000 in 2007, and Vestergaard
Frandsen’s Lifestraw played its’ part in the decline.
The Lifestraw is a personal, low-cost water purification
tool, with a service lifetime of 700 liters, or about one
year of water consumption for a single person.
Unlike other water purification products, Lifestraw is
intuitive to use, can be worn around the neck, and
requires no training, special tools or electricity to
operate.
The sucking action of the straw pulls the water through
a filter that traps 99.999% of waterborne bacteria
(such as Salmonella, Shigella, Enterococcus and
Staphylococcus) and 98.7% of waterborne viruses.
18. Hippo Roller Water Project
In some African villages, fetching potable water can take
most of an entire day, and is typically a chore left to
women and children.
The Hippo Roller is a simple tool for transporting water
from distant watering-holes back to homes and villages –
an alternative to the traditional 5-gallon-barrels-on-
heads approach.
The product itself is similar to a barrel with a handle that
you push ahead of you like a steamroller’s drum, and
has a capacity of 90 liters / 24 gallons.
That’s nearly a 5X increase in productivity.
In the past 15 years, the Hippo Roller Water Project has
distributed over 30,000 rollers, directly benefitting over
200,000 people.
19. 3R – REDUCE, REUSE &
RECYCLE
Why do you need to use 3R’s ?
* Saving space
* Saving natural resources
* Save energy
* Reduce pollution
Practice teaches: don't buy things you don't
need or items that come in wasteful
packaging or that cannot be recycled.
Reuse and recycle whatever you can.
20. REDUCE
A key part of waste “reduction” is CONSERVATION.
Buy and use less- simple living
Wise packaging selections
Buy 100% recyclable products ~ recycled paper Refuse store
bag, bring your own shopping bag
Use durable products
Avoid buying disposable item
Cut down on can and frozen food
Save water
Save energy
Carpool, ride a bicycle or take public transportation
Unplug electrical appliances when not in used
Drive smaller, more energy-efficient car & use lead-free petrol
21. REUSE
Do not throw away things that are still usable, Pass on to others who can
use them.
One man’s waste is another man’s treasure.
Reuse disposables like plastic cups, plates, utensils and plastic food storage
bags.
Donate to charity
Use canvas or cloth bags when shopping
Reuse plastic bags
Buy product in refillable containers e.g. washing powder, coffee, tea etc.
Reuse old envelop
Use both sides of paper
save old egg cartons, toilet rolls, margarine and ice-cream tubs for art &
crafts
use rechargeable batteries and refillable print cartridge
22. RECYCLE
Recycling means turning something old into something new.
Recycling is not only a great way to conserve resources but
even to reduce waste
Just about anything in your home that cannot be reused
CAN be recycled into something else.
Set up a system of separating your waste for recycling.
Deposit them at the various recycle centre.
Make sure you put the waste in the correct bin.
* Paper ~ tie into bundles
* Aluminium can ~ empty contents, rinse, dry and crush
& metal containers ~ empty contents and clean
* Glass ~ empty contents and clean
* Plastic : drinking bottle ~ remove cap, empty bottle,
rinse and crush; plastic containers ~ empty contents and
clean
23. Environmental Education
In order to achieve the acceptable level of
global environmental sustainability
The citizens must be empowered with
essential knowledge and information.
Then only they can exert pressure on their
elected representatives to develop and
implement policies for securing
environmental sustainability.
These can be achieved through
environmental education .
24. Environmental Education
Environmental education has two essential
components:
Alerting the public to the need to achieve global
sustainable development and the likely
consequences of failing to do so.
Focusing the educational curriculum for global
sustainable development by incorporating the
know-how and skills and also the moral
imperatives.
To have a clear idea about the environmental
education, more awareness about the following
issues are needed.
Difference between unsustainable development and
environmental sustainability.
Depending on Science and Technology alone will
25. Environmental Education
Progress towards sustainable development is
dependent upon a fundamental change in
societies' attitude to nature and the
environment.
Individual would be willing to adopt less
consumptive lifestyles commensurate with the
Earth's ecological capacity.
Science and technology, however advanced, cannot
help in this matter.
Hence, what is needed to bring about this change
of attitude is education in moral and ethical
philosophy.
In the young minds, it is essential to reinforce the
environment-respecting moral values.
27. Carrying Capacity
The carrying capacity is the maximum
population size of a species that the environment
can sustain indefinitely, given the food, habitat,
water and other necessities available in the
environment.
Supported indefinitely by an ecosystem
without destroying that ecosystem
Ciriacy-Wantrup introduced the idea of safe
thresholds
Depends on available resources and per capita
consumption
Not "caring" capacity
28. Carrying Capacity
The carrying capacity of an environment may
vary for different species and may change
over time due to a variety of factors, including:
Food availability
Water supply
Environmental conditions and living space.
Function of the number of people,
The amount of resources each person
consumes
The ability of the earth to process all the
wastes produced.
29. Carrying Capacity
For example, consider an island onto which is dropped
a colony of rabbits.
As long as there is an adequate supply of food and
water, the rabbits will not only survive but they will
reproduce and the colony will get larger.
The rabbit population can continue to grow as long as
food and water are adequate.
However, if at some point, there are more rabbits
than is food to feed them, then the rabbit population
will start to decline.
It depends upon factors such as how much each rabbit
eats,
How fast the food grows,
How well the natural systems of the island can handle
the waste produced by the rabbits.
30. Carrying Capacity
The earth is our island.
We have developed technology to grow,
process, and store food
We have also developed technologies for
handling wastes that we create.
However, there is still a carrying capacity that
the earth can support.
Sustainability is about finding the balance point
among population, consumption, and waste

32. Sustainable development ties together
concern for the carrying capacity of natural
systems with the social challenges faced by
humanity
According to Hasna Vancock, sustainability is
a process which tells of a development of all
aspects of human life affecting sustenance. It
means resolving the conflict between the
various competing goals, and involves the
simultaneous pursuit of economic prosperity,
environmental quality and social equity
famously known as three dimensions
