The Belai beel serves as an important aquatic resource for the livelihood of the local community of the Gazipur district in Bangladesh. However, water pollution in recent times, mainly from industrial wastes and sewage effluents, may disrupt its aquatic environment. Thus, the purpose of the present study was to assess the potential area of pen fish culture in the Belai beel. The study was performed in the Rajbagan (L1), Kamaria (L2) and Rewla (L3) areas of the Belai beel. Grass carp, silver carp, common carp, catla and rui of 20–30 cm in size were stocked at a rate of 15,000 fish/ha and reared for 150 days in pens installed in the L1, L2 and L3 areas, respectively. The fishes were fed with mustard oil cake and rice bran. Maximum fish production was found in Rewla (12.97 ton/ha/150 days) compared to Rajbagan (8.85 ton/ha/150 days) and Kamaria (10.67 ton/ha/150 days) due to it having comparatively good quality water. There were significant differences in metal ion concentrations (p < 0.05) among the three fish pens. In the Rajbagan area, concentrations of Cd and Cu in the water coming from the industrial effluent canal exceeded the acceptable limit. Results indicated that the Rewla area was better than Rajbagan and Kamaria due to it having relatively good quality water for pen fish culture.

Fats and oils are an essential part of everyday cooking as well as food products development and their purity are a concern since very early in human history. Adulteration of fats and oils is increased day by day throughout the world, a greater extent. Hence an attempt has been taken to review to identify different suitable rapid detection techniques for ensuring food quality and safety. The study was designed on the basis of extensive literature review for collecting relevant scientific evidence from various sources like Google Scholar, PubMed/Medline database, Science direct database, published journal, newspaper and periodicals. Various techniques have been utilized to assess the purity of edible fats and oils but yet they are costly and time-consuming. This study summarized the rapid detection techniques so that a common person can perform at the level of the household so as to have a broad picture of the status of adulteration in his food in case of doubt. Edible fats and oils are reported to be adulterated with other low-price oils. For example, mustard oil adulterated with argemone oil and butter yellow and ghee adulterated with vanaspati ghee. The leading challenges include the lack of market survey, lack of acceptance in the wholesale and retail market because of suspecting its purity, community health problem and decrease in consumer confidence.

Abstract: Headache is an extremely common symptom and collectively headache disorders are among the most common of the nervous system disorders, with a prevalence of 48.9% in the general population.1 Headache affects people of all ages, races and socioeconomic status and is more common in women. Some headaches are extremely debilitating and have significant impact on an individual’s quality of life, imposing huge costs to healthcare and indirectly to the economy in general. Only a small proportion of headache disorders require specialist input. The vast majority can be effectively treated by a primary care physician or generalist with correct clinical diagnosis that requires no special investigation. Primary headache disorders – Headaches, tension headache and cluster headache – constitute nearly 98% of all headaches; however, secondary headaches are important to recognise as they are serious and may be life threatening. This article provides an overview of the most common headache disorders and discusses the red flag symptoms that help identify serious causes that merit urgent specialist referral. The current pathway of headache care in the UK is discussed with a view to proposing a model that might fit well in the financially constrained National Health Service (NHS) and with new NHS reforms. The role of the national society, the British Association for the Study of Headache, and the patient organisations such as Headaches Trust in headache education to the professionals and the general public in shaping headache care in the UK is described. The article concludes by summarising evidence-based management of common headache diagnoses. Keywords: Headache, Headaches, tension headache, cluster headache, medication overuse headache

Strong and healthy saplings are a prerequisite to establish a successful forest. Therefore, an attempt has been made to develop the best package for nutrient supplementation to raise healthy Acacia mangium saplings, especially in acidic soil. The seeds were sown in pots, receiving different combinations of Arbuscularmycorrhizal (AM), Rhizobium inoculation with application of lime, and mustard oil cake (MOC). The highest spore count and infection percentage (3220 kg−1 soil and 69) were recorded in the AM + MOC + R treated pot, whereas the lowest (2553 kg−1 soil and 37) were recorded in the AM + L treated pot. Nitrogen concentration and uptake in the sapling were higher in the Rhizobium-inoculated treatments than the uninoculated ones. The sulfur concentration and uptake were higher in the MOC-supplemented treatment. Similarly, the P, K, Ca, and Mg concentrations and uptakes were higher in the limed treatments than the unlimed ones. The micronutrient concentration and uptake were higher in the unlimed treatments compared to the lime practice. The concentration of N in Rhizobium-treated pots, P and K in lime-treated pots, and S in MOC-treated pots were increased, whereas the soil pH decreased in all treatments except in the integrated package (AM + MOC + R + L) after 120 days. The Ca and Mg were reduced in all treatments, whereas micronutrients were reduced in all packages except the control. Under different nutrient management practices, plant height and stem girth continuously increased by 9.5 to 12 cm and 3 to 4 times, respectively. The production of robust saplings required integrated application of lime, MOC, AM, and Rhizobium in an acid soil that facilitated better root growth with availability of adequate nutrients for saplings.

Abstract In the present study, the lipase from Aspergillus fumigatus was purified which was found to be stable to commercial detergents and oxidising agents. A purification fold of 6.96 and yield of 11.03% were achieved when the enzyme was purified using Octyl Sepharose column chromatography. In presence of various oxidizing agents, the highest activity of lipase was 15.56 U/mg with hydrogen peroxide. Among various surfactants used, the maximum activity exhibited by lipase was with Tween 80. While studying the effect of various detergents, the highest activity of 9.3 U/mg was achieved with "Vanish" detergent. Wash performance was studied with various detergents out of which "Vanish" showed highest oil removal of 79%. Lipase from Aspergillus fumigatus possessed better stability with various surfactants and oxidizing agents. The results of this study have shown that the lipase from Aspergillus fumigatus along with detergent "Vanish" (0.7%) under optimized conditions (5 μg/ml lipase, 40°C wash temperature and 40 min wash duration) improved oil removal from cotton fabric stained with mustard oil by 84%.

E. Nathan and F. Stern (Dermat. Ztschr., Bd. 55, H. 1), as a result of intense illumination of the skin of rabbits with ultraviolet rays, an increased content of Ca was observed in the areas of inflamed skin, the amount of water at the beginning of inflammation increased, by the end of inflammation it decreased. By the end of the inflammation, the K content in these areas increased under low illumination with the same rays. The content of Ca and water was the same as in the case of intense irradiation, but an increase in the content of K was noted already from the onset of inflammation. The changes in the skin of rabbits after irritation with mustard oil were in general the same as when they were irradiated with light.

A field experiment was conducted to investigate the effect of organic and inorganic fertilizers on growth, yield and physio-chemical properties of papaya (Carica papaya) from February to December 2019. The experiment was designed into twelve treatments [T1 = Control, T2 = 100% RDF (Recommended Dose of Fertilizers), T3 = 50% RDF+ 50% MOC (Mustard Oil Cake), T4 = 50% RDF+ 50% VER (Vermicompost), T5 = 50% RDF + 50% PM (Poultry Manure), T6 = 25% RDF+ 75% MOC, T7 = 25% RDF + 75% VER, T8 = 25% RDF+ 75% PM, T9 = 100% MOC, T10 = 100% VER, T11 = 100% PM and T12 = MOC + VER + PM] at the experimental field of Department of Horticulture, Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman Agricultural University, Gazipur. The experiment was laid out in randomized complete block design with three replications. The effect of treatments varied significantly for most of the characters studied. Results showed that the plant growth, yield contributing traits, fruit yield and quality of papaya significantly increased in T10 treatment compared to other treatments. The maximum amount of dry matter of fruit (4.37%), TSS (18.17 %), total sugar (9.43 g/ 100g), reducing sugar (6.34 g/ 100g), β- carotene (0.24 mg/ 100g), mineral as Ca (0.39%), Mg (0.33%) and K (2.08%) were found in T10 treatment and the minimum amount were found in the control T1. The maximum amount of non-reducing sugar was obtained from T12 (3.93 g/ 100g) and the minimum from T3 (2.23 g/ 100g). Ascorbic acid was found maximum in T7 (24.99 mg/100g) and minimum from T11 (22.00 mg/100g). A significant influence of T10 treatment on growth, yield and physio-chemical characters was observed. The application of 100% vermicompost which influenced growth, yield and physio-chemical properties of papaya in Salna series of Red Brown-terrace soil is suggested. Ann. Bangladesh Agric.

Abstract In this research work, a low-cost \(UV-Vis-NIR\) spectroscopy setup (\(LCSS\)) is developed and presented to analyze transmission (%) and absorption (\(Au\)) from household oils samples. The sensing potential of the developed setup is examined using four different oil samples. These oil samples consist of olive oil, mustard oil, amla oil, and red palm oil. The transmission (%) obtained for olive oil, mustard oil, amla oil, and red palm oil is \(75.66\%\), \(71.10\%\), \(69.87\%\), and \(68.12 \%\) at \(923.2 nm\), \(924.5 nm\), \(925.9 nm,\) and \(927.8 nm\) respectively. Similarly, the absorbance (\(Au\)) for olive oil, mustard oil, amla oil, and red palm oil is \(0.121 Au\), \(0.141 Au\), \(0.153 Au,\) and \(0.163 Au\) at \(920.0 nm\), \(923.0 nm\), \(925.8 nm\), and \(930.2 nm\) respectively. A linear relationship in the wavelength range of \(920 nm\) to \(935 nm\) between transmission (%) and wavelength produce \({R}^{2}=0.9717\) corresponding to a degree (2). Similarly, the linear relation between absorbance (\(Au\)) and wavelength produce \({R}^{2}=0.9997\) corresponding to a degree (2). Finally, an 8th order empirical sinusoidal model is developed for transmission (\(\%\)) and absorbance (\(Au\)) corresponding to the olive oil, mustard oil, amla oil, and red palm oil. The maximum value of \(R-\)square corresponding to the transmission (\(\%\)) for the developed empirical model is obtained for amla oil. Similarly, the full value of the absorbance (\(Au\)) from the developed empirical model is obtained for red palm oil, which indicates a great response towards the empirical sinusoidal model.
