Global Polio Eradication: Opportunities and Challenges
Abstract: Poliomyelitis (polio) is a disease of public health importance that occurs mainly in children. In a small percent of infected children, the virus invades central nervous system that could result in paralysis. Now, the global eradication of polio is considered to be in the final stage. By 2002, three World Health Organization (WHO) regions (the Americas, Western Pacific and European regions) had been certified as polio-free. Since the start of …

Land Use Planning and Urban Flood Resilience: A GIS-Based Assessment of Master Plan for Delhi in the National Capital Territory of India
Abstract: Rapid and unplanned urbanisation replacing the natural flood absorbing formations has caused socio-economic disruption and vulnerability. Urban flooding has become a major problem in India’s National Capital Region. Unchecked urban growth in the lowlands exacerbates flooding and inadequate drainage systems are unable to cope with the rising rainfall. We need to move from a focus on disaster response to managing floods and building flood resilience. Land use planning is an …

Environmental and Toxicological Implications of Dyes: A Mini Review
Abstract: Synthetic dyes are extensively used in industries – such as textiles, leather, paper, and food processing – due to their vibrant colors and high chemical stability. However, the large-scale release of dye-containing wastewater has become a significant environmental and health concern. Owing to their complex chemical structures, most synthetic dyes are highly resistant to biodegradation, resulting in their long-term persistence in aquatic and terrestrial ecosystems. Their accumulation in water bodies …

DESIGN AND DEVELOPMENT OF A POND SURFACE CLEANING ROBOT WITH SOLAR POWER INTEGRATION
Abstract: There has been a significant increase in water pollution with waste products such as plastic waste, leaves, algae, paper waste, and organic waste as a result of the rapid pace of urbanization and wrong waste disposal practices. This results in poor water quality and environmental hazards among others. Conventional systems for cleaning ponds use man-power and fuel-operated machines that are not only labor intensive and time consuming but are not …

Development of an Environmentally Friendly Bioplastic Film Derived from Water Hyacinth
Abstract: The water hyacinth, an invasive aquatic plant negatively impacting ecosystems, serves as a promising source for raw materials in the production of carboxymethylcellulose (CMC)-based bioplastics due to its high cellulose concentration. This initiative not only mitigates water hyacinth pollution in natural water resources but also contributes to the reduction of plastic waste through the creation of biodegradable CMC bioplastic films. The cellulose extraction from water hyacinth precedes the synthesis of …

Description of Amraz-E-Gosh (Ear Diseases) in Unani and Modern Perspective: A Review
Abstract: The human ear is tremendously complex and amazingly designed organ meant primarily for hearing and balancing the body. In Unani terminology, it is known as Uzuemudarikfaslat (distance receptor organ). In classical Unani literature, diseases of the ear are well described and are called as Amraze Gosh like Tarash (impaired hearing), Waqr and Samum (deafness), Wajauluzn (ear ache), Tanin-o-Dawi (tinnitus), Siqle Sama’at (reduced hearing), Hikkatuluzn (itching in ear) Sansanahat (ringing of …
