Wedding Couple

Marriage is a human social institution which lays the foundation of a family as a unit of a society. It has been happening in human societies since the dawn of the creation but with varying degree of celebrations, customs and traditions, modes and manners etc. It is regarded as a moment of celebration and joys not only for the couple who are going to lock in weddings, but in many parts of the world, it is a moment of joy and celebration for the blood relatives as well as the entire community. Unfortunately, it does not happen always especially in the case of early marriage. In such case, it does not give such a cause of celebrations to the wedding couple rather it imposes on them without their consent or informed consent. The practice of early marriages has been in vogue from time immemorial, but all its negative impacts whether social, economic, physical or psychological, are realized since the late 20th century. This literature based article highlights the concept, practice, causes and consequences of the child marriages with special reference to Pakistani society. It was concluded that by increasing literacy rate among the people and through educating them, the issue of early marriages may be minimized/dealt.

Today, the use of fossil-based fuels and construction activities on a global and regional scale have effective climatic and environmental consequences all over the world, leading to disruption of living spaces. For this reason, it is important that the structures have sustainable properties that will reduce environmental impacts throughout the entire life cycle. Millions of people go to various countries and become refugees due to world wars and migrations. Here, ecological settlements and the criteria for the settlement are needed in order to make these settlements healthy. The ecological settlements in Turkey (Gaziantep, Bursa and Eskisehir) as well as in the world (China, Germany and Spain), listed the criteria that are necessary for these places, are revised in this review article.

The Impact

Many ecological variants have impact on the onset and communicability of infectious diseases or pandemics, which may in later days can trigger environmental feedback. The most potentially lethal virus of this century coronavirus disease (COVID-19) was declared an epidemic on March 13, 2020, and its vigorous spread, congruous coverage and its many diverse and complicated after effects may have made it a very dangerous disease to counteract the problems related to it in such a short time period making it once in only century disaster around the world. Most of the countries around the world being currently in a situation of chaos and suffering of this disease and its consequences have responded with great concern and measures by taking social distancing methods and measures of various kinds and drastically reducing the spread of the virus and helping in prevention by it have also helped in resolving many economic and other activities of the country to cope with. As a result, the COVID-19 pandemic at the end of April 2020 caused many environmental impacts, including positive impacts such as improved air quality. Negative impacts such as coastal pollution through the elimination of water and sanitation supplies in urban areas and in rural have shown it effects of healing the surrounding which was caused by the halting to many industries and the release of waste products and hampering of the transport and its emission after the public went into home isolation after the pandemic started. This study provides a first overview of the observed environmental and possible aftermath of COVID-19. We argue that the impact of COVID-19 is largely determined by anthropogenic factors that become apparent as public events declines around the globe, and effects on towns and human health will continue to exist.

Potential Strategy

The processes of technological innovation influence the great advances in the world agribusiness sector. These progresses are the result of scientific and technological studies. In this context, fish farming appears as an alternative to diversify agricultural production, being the most responsible system in the world for food security. In addition, the practice of fish farming is a potential strategy for environmental conservation since it contributes to capture fisheries reduction. However, the traditional management commonly adopted in fish farming results in innumerable environmental consequences such as: pollution of water bodies and introduction of exotic species, generation of effluents, emergence of diseases in man and animals. Probiotics as a dietary supplement for captive-bred fish appear as an alternative resource, aiming to improve the zootenic and sanitary performance of fish, healthy conditions and increase production with efficiency. It should be noted that diets are related to ethological aspects, structural integrity, sanity, physiology, reproduction, growth, and sanitary or environmental conditions. The present study aimed to revise assessments on the use of functional food additives in captive-bred fish diet and the results obtained by their administration. A qualitative approach was used with a descriptive and documentary method. The data analysed here contribute to further studies and to glimpse the potentials of nutrition of captive fish, considerating that negative impacts to the environment, production and quality of fish can be mitigated.

Abstract The COVID-19 pandemic has tremendously affected the African continent and the rest of the world. Most businesses have closed and a lot of people have lost their jobs. The aviation industry has been shaken to the core with airlines losing millions of dollars and flights being cancelled. The tourism industry has consequently been affected due to restricted travel of tourists, impacting wildlife conservation and livelihoods. Schools, colleges and universities have been closed. The virus has infected millions of people and hundreds of thousands of people have died globally putting strain on health systems especially those of hard hit countries. Various countries all over the world have put measures to control the spread of the virus through lockdowns and social distancing policies. The reduced economic activities and mobility of people has resulted in improved air quality, cleaner water and beaches in some countries. However there are also negative impacts such as challenges in waste management, increased pharmaceutical and household waste and discovery of the corona virus in wastewater, a potential threat to public health. A considerable amount of research has been done on the socio-economic impacts of COVID-19 in Africa but there is still limited research on its impact on the environment. This paper serves to highlight the observed and potential environmental impacts of COVID-19 in Africa.

The world is experiencing a phenomenal pattern of urbanization with diverse spatial, social, economic, political, and environmental consequences. Its diversity and dynamism are more apparent in developing economies like India. Urban settlements present two distinct features of urbanization – opportunities and challenges. Opportunities in terms of being ‘Engines of Growth', 'Center of Knowledge', and 'Concentration of socio-economic activities', while challenges are faced in terms of social, economic, and environmental consequences. Haryana sub-region is no exception to this trend. Theoretical framework using data and information forms the basis while examining critical arguments in pursuit to minimize these challenges. This chapter results in a sustainable development of a framework, channelizing the opportunities in the urbanization process.

Aquaculture has been considered as an option to cope with the world food demand. However, criticisms have arisen around aquaculture, most of them related to the destruction of ecosystems such as mangrove forest to construct aquaculture farms, as well as the environmental impacts of the effluents on the receiving ecosystems. The inherent benefits of aquaculture such as massive food production and economical profits have led the scientific community to seek for diverse strategies to minimize the negative impacts, rather than just prohibiting the activity. Aquaculture is a possible panacea, but at present is also responsible for diverse problems related with the environmental health; however the new strategies proposed during the last decade have proven that it is possible to achieve a sustainable aquaculture, but such strategies should be supported and proclaimed by the different federal environmental agencies from all countries. Additionally there is an urgent need to improve legislation and regulation for aquaculture. Only under such scenario, aquaculture will be a sustainable practice.
