Biotechnology-based industries such as health care and pharmaceutical, crop and livestock breeding and use of microorganisms and plants to produce valuable new materials provide tremendous benefits to mankind either directly or indirectly. The momentous discovery of the three-dimensional structure of DNA made by Watson and Crick, ultimately paved the way for the Human Genome Project. The rapid progress in the field of genetics has profoundly changed our understanding of the basic processes of life. This exciting new knowledge is already pointing to gene level treatments in medicine, safer food, improved crops, healthier farm animals and a cleaner environment. Biotechnology affects over 30% of the global economic turnover by the way of health care, food and energy, agriculture and forestry, and this economic impact will grow as biotechnology provides new methods to process the raw materials. Biotechnology is developing at a phenomenal pace and will increasingly become a necessary part of modern life.
COVID-19 was first identified in Wuhan City in December 2019 and spread throughout Hubei Province and other parts of China. After causing significant morbidity and mortality in China, by February 2020, it had spread to numerous other countries, infecting millions of people and causing a large number of deaths across the world. The COVID-19 pandemic put a burden on almost all areas of the world including healthcare systems, education, industry, travel, etc. The pandemic revealed the vulnerability of the world’s healthcare systems and affected healthcare personnel significantly. The virus is able to attack not only the respiratory tract, but almost all the organs including the brain. Impacts...
This document is intended to provide an overview of the major components of surface and ground water quality and how these relate to ecosystem and human health. Local, regional and global assessments of water quality monitoring data are used to illustrate key features of aquatic environments, and to demonstrate how human activities on the landscape can influence water quality in both positive and negative ways. Clear and concise background knowledge on water quality can serve to support other water assessments.
Weaving anthropological and philosophical reflections on the ordinary into her analysis, Das points toward a new way of interpreting violence in societies and cultures around the globe.
"Thirty years ago when interest in sea turtles was beginning to spread, the ,habitat of the post-hatchlings for all the species was unknown. After they left the nest and made their way through the surf, they simply disappeared. Very slowly, data to suggest a pelagic life in a sargassum weed habitat accumulated, and eventually I received support to investigate that idea intensively. By the end of that research period it was clear that when sargassum rafts are present in longshore arrays within the swimming range of the hatchlings, they do in fact enter them (Carr 1982). It followed that the early developmental stages are pelagic, with the corollary that, because sargassum accumulates along convergences, the adjacent currents may carry the rafts and their occupants on journeys of either local or oceanic extent or both"--Introduction.
