Exploring the Therapeutic Effect of Beetroot-Sweet Basil Pestils on Hyperlipidemia

Hyperlipidemia, a major public health challenge, is a leading risk factor for cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. Plant-based dietary interventions are being recognized as effective strategies for its prevention and management. Beetroot (Beta vulgaris L.) and sweet basil (Oci...

Freshwater contamination from industrial effluent discharge: heavy metal mobilisation, water quality degradation and probabilistic health risk assessment

Context Marble-processing facilities generate slurry-containing wastewater that may mobilise toxic metals through equipment wear, mineral dissolution and the use of polishing materials. Evidence on the combined pollution burden and probabilistic health risks associated with marbl...

Unveiling how belief and boundary controls shape organizational citizenship behaviors and withdrawal cognitions in government: a test of mediating and moderating effects

Purpose This study aims to examine how belief and boundary controls influence managers’ withdrawal cognitions in the governmental sector. Drawing on person-organization fit theory, it investigates the mediating role of organizational citizenship behavior (OCB) and the moderating...

Ripple effect of destructive leadership: the proactive role of psychological capital in psychological disidentification and job performance

Based on conservation of resources theory (COR), this research aims to investigate the relationship between destructive leadership behavior (DLB) and employee’s job performance (peer rated) considering the mediating role of psychological disidentification (PsyDis) and moderating...

Nanoparticle-mediated drought resilience in cereal crops from physiological modulation to sustainable agronomic translation

Nanotechnology offers transformative potential for mitigating drought stress in cereal crops, yet translation from controlled environments to field applications remains constrained by inconsistent outcomes, limited mechanistic understanding, and insufficient environmental risk as...

On Generalized Hermite–Hadamard-Type Inequalities for Convexity with Computational Analysis and Their Applications

This paper establishes a new general integral identity for differentiable functions involving weighted fractional integral operators. By applying this identity together with s-convexity and s-uniform convexity with modulo Φ, we derive several refined Hermite–Hadamard inequalities...

The Activity of Antimicrobial Peptides (AMPs) Identified Via an Integrated in Silico and Pilot in Vitro Screening Approach Towards ESKAPE Pathogens

Abstract Antimicrobial resistance (AMR), driven largely by ESKAPE(E) pathogens, represents a critical global health challenge. The increasing prevalence of multidrug-resistant (MDR) bacteria and the declining effectiveness of conventional antibiotics have created an urgent need f...

Active gut microbiota resistome identified by metatranscriptomics and its contribution to antimicrobial resistance

Abstract The global health crisis of antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is compounded by gut microbiota, which acts as a reservoir for antibiotic-resistant genes (ARGs). While DNA-based metagenomics can identify the potential for resistance, the resistome, it cannot determine the ARG...

Green synthesis of Cu-Doped ZnO nanoparticles using Syzygium cumini leaf extract and their antimicrobial evaluation

Synthesis of nanoparticles by the green synthesis approach using the plant leaves extract has gained popularity since they are thought to be cost-effective, efficient and environment-friendly. This study was designed to synthesize copper-doped zinc oxide nanoparticles from Syzygi...

Unraveling the CDPK gene superfamily in Dalbergia species by comparative genomics and drought stress responsiveness

Calcium dependent protein kinases (CDPKs) are very important calcium-sensing protein kinases which decode intracellular calcium signals and transduce them into phosphorylation-mediated signaling events that allows plants to survive under environment stresses. While the function o...
