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 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.

It is of outmost importance to define which are the financial
instruments to sustain these water infrastructures, so to guarantee not
only their set up, but also routinely operations.
This may contribute to opening a new market in the water sector.

As dams construction is pretty an unfeasible option (due to economy
and unwilling population and several environmental issues) MAR can
constitute a valid alternative.

LIMITATIONS
Future work (research in primis) is needed in order to foster the use
of treated municipal wastewater (Soil Aquifer Treatment systems).
While care is paid to the MAR plant set up, still little attention is given
to the monitoring system, especially related to quality issues.
The latter may change MAR from being an opportunity to a threat.
20. CONCLUSIONS
The regulatory framework now is there: need to be tested
Training activities for professionals and awareness raising among
relevant stakeholders constitute a turning point for the application of
MAR in Italy.
Growing interest from research institutes and local authorities on the
use of this low-cost techniques (compared to other solutions)

Hi everybody, I come from Italy and I am from scuola superiore sant’anna a public research university in Italy – I am cooperating in the EIP water in the Action Group MAR Solution along with my friend Lobo Ferreira (from Lnec) and Enrique escalante from Tragsa
whatever trump is saying both climate change and human activities are posing a threat on available water resources and the society requires and to go satisfy continuous growing water needs either we go for convenational sources or we start testing the se of non-conventional sources
dighe pozzi --- foto aquifer recharge… reuse of treted wasewater
many of you may not know what MAR means : it stands for managed aquifer recharge, a technique for recharging aquifers at a higher rate than that provided by nature
In Italy aquifer recharge has been traditionally applied unintentionally, by increasing riverbank filtration or because of excess irrigation.
A certain interest for artificial recharge of aquifers arose at the end of the ’70s and the beginning of the ’80s and tests have been carried out in Tuscany, Veneto and Friuli Venezia Giulia.
We have then been performing an hystorical and literature research to find out where artificial recharge (not having a proper and dedicated monitoring system) was applied in Italy
And apparently experiences were more diffused in Northern Italy than in the south, where water shortage is more an issue
The event aimed at showcasing present experiences on MAR in Italy while at the same time starting a network among all the Institutions involved.
Upon all these new experiences some more groups at univ strted new research activities on the topic and also technical offices of local authorities (for ex roma municipality) started seriously to think to set in practice MAR plants

------------ no or minimum land loss;

--------------- no evaporation, algal formation or insect’s proliferation;
------ less GHG’s emissions in the atmosphere.
