This document discusses wetland resources, management, and case studies on ecosystem services, wise use, and conservation. It summarizes the key ecosystem services provided by urban wetlands like stormwater storage, flood retention, water quality improvement, and habitat. The document also outlines a framework for the wise use of wetlands, including integrating wetlands into catchment management and developing management plans through multi-stakeholder platforms. Case studies from India, including the East Kolkata Wetlands, are presented to illustrate approaches to wetland conservation and generating livelihoods through ecosystem services.

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.

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.

29. BIO-RIGHTS SCHEMES
• Bio-rights is a financing mechanism developed to empower low-
income groups to protect the ecosystem services that they depend
on
• Developed by the Wetlands International, Alterra Green World
Research (Wageningen University) and a number of partner
organizations in the late 1990s (Eijk and Kumar, 2009)
• Bio-rights schemes provide micro-credits or micro- insurance
(defined as a mechanism to protect poor people against risk – e.g.
loss of livelihoods - in exchange for insurance premium payments
tailored to their needs, income and level of risk) to local
communities to engage in sustainable practices
30. ECOSYSTEM SERVICES - EKW
• Treatment of sewage water from the municipal areas: The
wetland treats nearly 600 million liters of sewage arising from
the Kolkata Municipal Corporation area every day
• Fish and vegetable production: pisciculture in the ponds
generate one-third of city’s daily fish requirement (about
11,000 metric tonnes per annum), 150 metric tonnes of
vegetables per day from the horticulture areas within the
wetland.
• Recreation – ecotourism
• Biodiversity hotspots
• Ecological integrity for the delta region

32. The Way Forward
Systematic studies on
• Catchment/sub-basin studies
• Changing bio-physical profiles of urban wetlands
• Hydrological profiles
• Drivers that impact the water regime/s (seasons)
and the ecosystem services
• Livelihood dependency
• Multi-sectors involved in water resource
management
• Developing a multi-stakeholder platform for
decision making – Decision support system
33. Integrated Management Plans – Current thinking
• Formation of Wetland Authorities at state level – 8 states
• Developing Policy Guidelines and Framework for
Integrated Management - wetland inventory, cross
sectoral governance, implementing regulations, mission
mode implementation, third party monitoring, site
characterization, boundary delineation, water quality
monitoring
• Hydrology Project:
River Basin Management Plan for integrated Water Resources
Management
34. • Integration of wetland conservation
and wise use with catchment
management – Ramsar Guidelines
• Regular scientific monitoring of
hydrological regimes (surface and
ground water and water quality of
wetlands (eg. Chilika and Loktak)
• Multi-sectoral water allocations
should consider the environment as a
sector (e-flow requirements) to
sustain ecosystem characteristics and
services
• Institutional mechanism : formation of
multi-sector platforms
