Abstract: Currently, there are three main hypotheses regarding global climate change: astronomical, physical, and geological-geographical causes. Astronomical causes include changes in the Earth's orbital eccentricity, the tilt, and precession of the Earth's axis, which will be examined separately below. Physical causes involve factors like volcanic-induced contamination affecting atmospheric composition. These are clearly reflected in current climate changes.

ABSTRACT: This study analyzed honey consumers' socio-economic characteristics and demographics in Cross River State, Nigeria. The results showed a gender distribution of 45.7% female and 53.8% male. In terms of age, the majority (60.1%) fell within the 40-49 years category. Most consumers (93.6%) were married. The education level of the respondents showed 53.8% with tertiary education and 6.9% with no formal education. Household size varied, with 74% having 5-10 members. Occupation-wise, 72.3% were employed. The study revealed a significant preference for honey over sugar, with 87.30% of respondents favouring honey. Health considerations (34.1%) and taste (33.5%) were the primary reasons for preferring honey. Most respondents (29.5%) consumed honey for 16-20 years, and 37.6% used honey as a sweetener. Furthermore, 27.7% used honey for medicinal purposes, and 23.1% used it in cosmetics. The study found that taste (48.6%) was the most significant factor influencing the perceived quality of honey. During the COVID-19 pandemic, 88.4% of respondents reported a decrease in honey consumption. The binary logistic regression model showed that education status and quantity of honey consumed per year/liters had a significant influence on preference for honey consumption.

Abstract: An epidemiological study with an objective to assess the seasonal dynamics and over winter survival of abomasal nematodes of sheep in a temperate climate of Kashmir valley, India was carried out in naturally infected sheep over a period of two years. Faecal examination [prevalence (%age) and faecal egg counts (epg), larval differentiation] and necropsy of the study animals were the methods employed. Haemonchus contortus and Teladorsagia (Ostertagia) circumcincta were most prevalent followed by Trichostrongylus sp. however; the prevalence differed (non significant) in the two years. Summer showed significantly higher prevalence of all the three parasites as compared to other seasons. The faecal egg counts and necropsy observations revealed arrested development (hypobiosis) within the host body during winter (P = 0.008), which was confirmed through the recovery of L4 and adult nematodes from host abomasums in winter. The present study indicates the seasonality and arrested development of abomasal nematodes in the sheep under the temperate climatic conditions and validates their strategic overwinter survival and resumption of development on the onset of suitable environmental conditions in spring.

Abstract: Indole-3-acetic acid (IAA) is an essential plant hormone, produced by various soil-borne bacterial genera that colonize the rhizosphere of plants. IAA influences and facilitates development and growth processes in plants; however, their production is limited by low yield, hence this study. This study therefore, investigated the application of response surface methodology in optimizing the production of IAA by Lysinibacillus sphaericus, a plant growth promoting bacterium (PGPB). The bacterium was isolated from the rhizosphere soil of Zea mays in a farmland located at Choba, River State, Nigeria. The isolate was identified using its biochemical and molecular characteristics. Sequences from the amplification of the 16S rRNA gene, classified the isolate as Lysinibacillus sphaericus (M904987). IAA production was determined by colorimetric technique using Salkowski reagent. Optimization of process parameters using Response Surface Methodology (RSM) based on Box- Behnken Design (BBD) was employed to obtain the best combinations of conditions for IAA production. The best IAA production was obtained at: pH 5.5, incubation temperature 35^oC, inoculum concentration 2.5% and 20μl/mL of L-tryptophan after 24h-incubation period. Under these conditions, maximum amount (151.1 mg/ml) of IAA was obtained. This study has therefore shown that Lysinibacillus sphaericus could be utilized as a useful plant growth promoting bacterium (PGPB) to facilitate, stimulate and improve crop yield. Moreover, the deployment of RSM was effective in enhancing the production of IAA by the Lysinibacillus sphaericus.
