Sustainable use of agro-industrial wastes as potential feedstocks for exopolysaccharide production by selected Halomonas strains

From recent global research developments, lot of natural and artificial materials are coming from industries those are normally discarded or used as landfills are investigated for potential construction applications. There are different industry waste materials like steel slag, copper slag, electric furnace slag etc., which are used in various types of concretes such as conventional, geo-polymer self-compacting concretes. Now a day’s utilization of Self- Compacting Concrete (SCC) is increasing speedily because of its attractive characteristics like effective fresh, mechanical and durability properties and its large applications in construction. In addition to this, SCC materials are associated with sustainability issues. Necessity of SCC expected to continuously increases with increasing developments around the world. Therefore required an ideal solution and sustain technology; such as utilization of alternative materials. The present study explains application of industrial waste materials to replace fine and coarse aggregates in self-compacting concrete production. Also, effective limitations in using some of the waste materials as sustainable alternatives for coarse and fine aggregates have been mentioned. From this review, it is evident that factors like carbon emissions, energy for production and cost production of SCC can be notably decreased by incorporating of waste materials in place of fine and coarse aggregates in Self-Compacting Concrete.

Aim. To optimize the methane digestion process while using different recipes of substrate components of ag- ricultural origin. Methods. The chemical composition of separate components of the substrate of agricultural by-products, industrial wastes, fats of the agrorefi nery and corn silage was studied. Dry (organic) mass, crude protein (fat) fi ber, loose ash, nitrogen-free exhaust were estimated in the components and the productivity of biogas was determined along with the methane content. These data were used as a basis for daily recipes of the substrate and the analysis of biogas production at the biogas station in Kostkowice. Results. The application of by-products of agricultural production solves the problem of their storage on boards and in open containers, which reduces investment costs, related to the installation of units for their storage. Conclusions. The return on investment for obtaining electric energy out of agricultural biogas depends considerably on the kind of the substrate used and on technological and market conditions.

This article aims to find out the developmentidea or paradigm through village financial management based on Law Number 6 of 2014 concerning Villages. In this study, the researcher used a normative research methodby examining the village regulations in depth. Primary legal materials are authoritatuve legal materials in the form of laws and regulations. Village dependence is the most obvious violence against village income or financial sources. Various financial assistance from the government has made the village dependent on financial sources from the government. The use of regional development funds is intended to support activities in the management of Regional Development organizations. Therefore, development funds should be managed properly and smoothly, as well as can be used effectively to increase the people economy in the regions. This research shows that the law was made to regulate and support the development of local economic potential as well as the sustainable use of natural resources and the environment, and that the village community has the right to obtain information and monitor the planning and implementation of village development.

Water governance and management are important challenges for the River Indus Basin in Pakistan. Water governance refers to social, political and economic factors that influence water management. The water scarcity and water security are a major concern for the state to control its water resources. The study aims to give Sindh water policy by exploring the challenges to Indus Basin in managing water resources and to identify opportunities Indus Basin can look to improve water management. Interviews were conducted from water experts and analysts having 5 years’ experience or more in the water sector of Pakistan through a semi-structured self-developed questionnaire using purposive sampling technique and transcripts were analyzed using thematic content analysis. The findings show that increasing population, climatic change and rising demand of water are major challenges Indus is facing and Indus with time is getting water-scarce therefore need strong institutions, civil society and legislatures to ensure equitable distribution of water and maintain the ecosystem. The study emphasizes that water governance and management are necessary for sustainable use of water. Pakistan, the water stress country needs to address ‘governance’ at a wider scale to solve problems in the Indus Basin for the livelihood of people. The research will benefit the state, water experts, institutions as well as civil society to promote efficient use of water in Indus Basin.
