The Impact of Knowledge on Food Hygiene Practices Among Food Handlers in a Tertiary Hospital in Nigeria
Abstract: AbstractIn macro-scale cooking, the food is made by many people, thus intensifying the odds contamination of food due to improper handling. Intentional or accidental contamination of food in the course of largescale production can put at risk the health of consumers, and this has a costly consequence on a country. The purpose of this study was to assess knowledge about food safety, attitudes and practices among food handlers in tertiary …

Gravel Scrap Tires Admixed Drainage Material in Landfill Leachate Collection System
Abstract: Amidst water for sustenance, underground water quality becomes further deterministic. The stance of its continual contamination due to infiltration, uncontrolled industrialization, unplanned inhabitation, etc., is making “quantity” meaningless unless maintenance of quality is addressed. One of the potent measures to combat this infiltration is creation of a semi-impervious media below the subsoil, which may regulate the outcome judiciously, and in a proffered way. The logistics, however, do not allow planned …

Heat Stress Mitigation in Resource-Constrained Dairy Farming Systems: Practical Strategies for Sustainable Development
Abstract: Heat stress poses a critical threat to dairy production, particularly in resource-constrained systems prevalent across tropical and subtropical regions. Elevated ambient temperatures, compounded by high humidity, directly impair feed intake, milk yield, reproductive efficiency, and overall animal welfare. In low-resource settings, conventional cooling technologies such as automated fans, sprinklers, and climate-controlled housing remain economically inaccessible. Therefore, cost-effective, locally adaptable, and sustainable solutions are essential for maintaining productivity and animal health. …

Analysis of Existing Scenario of Sewerage Management in Gurugram and Forecasting its Future Demand
Abstract: AbstractWater, food and shelter are the basic needs of human beings but now become inaccessible resources. Due to the increasing demand for these resources, it cannot be met successfully by the conventional sources of energy. Indiscriminate rises in population imply industrialization, migration and the need for energy which leads to the environment degraded. In India, there are 113 river and vast alluvial basins to hold the groundwater. But due to …
