COVID-19: Are We Prepared for the Pandemic or Starting Now?
Abstract: SARS-CoV-2 has impregnated all the sections of the world. It is our duty to prepare ourselves to this pandemic. Several attempts are being made to identify the drugs to combat COVID-19. The present paper reviewed the latest developments in COVID-19 research. It also emphasized the role of bioinformatics tools whilst identifying the candidate drugs. Some of the information pertaining to the vaccines available was discussed. The role of open-source software …

On the Nature of Reproductive Behaviour of Homo sapiens species: A Narrative Approach
Abstract: Monogamy and polygamy are the two reproductive structures for Homo sapiens which have been evolving millenia now rendering and stagnating into social construction rather than underlying in H. sapiens evolved nature. Anatomically, modern H. sapiens emerged and behaved, use energy to fullfill a physiological need, based on the information in their DNA here referred as “code”-driven behaviour; other species conscioulessness also behave on the basis of their genomes and here …

Sublethal Toxic Effect of Paraquat Dichloride on Tissue Biochemical Markers in Labeo rohita
Abstract: The present study investigated the sublethal toxic effect of the commercial grade herbicide, Paraquat dichloride (24% SL), on Labeo rohita stressing the importance on biochemical parameters. Fishes were exposed to the sublethal concentrations of paraquat dichloride (5 μg/l and 10 μg/l) for 24 h in treated groups. Treated groups showed highly changed biochemical parameters on their exposure to the herbicide paraquat, when compared to the control. Tissues such as brain, …

Studies on the Impact of Vehicular Exhaust Pipe Emissions (from Vehicles Using Petrol and Diesel) on Leaf, Shoot and Root Biomass of Jamun
Abstract: Air pollution is deteriorating the air quality day by day. Presently, automobile exhaust pipe emission is one of the major contributors of air pollution. The present study was aimed to observe the effects of exhaust pipe emissions on biomass of the plant—Jamun. Jamun plants were given exposure to exhaust emissions from vehicles using different types of fuels in open top chambers for the set duration of time. Determination of dry …
