Is public debt 'curse' or 'benediction' for environmental debt: A panel ARDL approach.

This paper studies the effect of public debt on environmental debt by considering the top ten highly indebted countries with annual periods from 1996 to 2022, exploring both the theoretical framework and empirical evidence. For the empirical investigation, the study employs the panel ARDL model, and the robustness of these results is confirmed from the FGLS model. The findings indicate that at the initial level of public debt, it is a "Curse" and at a higher level of public debt, it is a "Benediction" for environmental debt, with the turning point around 99 % of public debt to GDP.

Unravelling surface water dynamics in semi-arid central Indian region for sustainable agricultural practices.

The distribution and availability of water resources have been greatly impacted by global climate change and unsustainable human activities. This has resulted in increased pressure on surface water supplies, human consumption and socioeconomic growth. Although water management requires monitoring, a substantial amount of water consumption globally, including both groundwater and surface water, remains unmeasured.

Plant-based natural products in cancer therapeutics.

Various cells in our body regularly divide to replace old cells and dead cells. For a living cell to be growing, cell division and differentiation is highly essential. Cancer is characterised by uncontrollable cell division and invasion of other tissues due to dysregulation in the cell cycle.

A blend of renewable and non-renewable energy consumption on economic growth of India: The role of disaggregate energy sources.

India, with its rapidly growing economy, has an increasing demand for energy consumption. This study thus adds to the energy-economic growth literature by exploring the effect of renewable (hydro and nuclear) and non-renewable (coal and oil) energy consumption by different sources on the economic growth of India, spanning from 1985 to 2021. The ARDL estimator is used to assess the short- and long-run growth effectiveness of the explanatory variables, while the variance decomposition analysis (VDA) is employed to examine the degree to which one variable can explain the change in variance of another variable.

Safety evaluation of enriched fraction from leaves of L. in BALB/c mice.

The enriched fraction derived from L. (Dilleniaceae), also known as elephant apple was subjected to acute and sub-acute toxicological study to document its safety issues for use as fumigant. The enriched fractions were orally administered to both sexes of BALB/c mice at doses of 200, 800 and 1600 mg/kg bw for acute toxicity, and 50 and 500 mg/kg bw for 14 days of sub-acute toxicity.

Acute and sub-acute toxicity evaluation of dihydro--coumaric acid isolated from leaves of Hemsl. A. Gray in BALB/c mice.

In present study, the acute and sub-acute toxicities of Dihydro--coumaric acid isolated from the leaves of (Hemsl.) A. Gray was studied for safety issues in mammals For acute toxicity tests, isolated compound was administered orally in both male and female BALB/c mice at the doses of 200, 800, and 1,600 mg/kg body weight for 7 days.

Flavored Food Additives on the Leaves of Piper betle L.: A Human Health Perspective.

Natural products and traditional ethnomedicines are of great effect in therapeutics. Such types of medicine have been practiced in certain areas of the world to treat different health conditions. This pilot investigation aims to review the cumulative health effect of addendums used in betel quid such as areca nut, lime, and tobacco-associated betel quid chewing and without tobacco-associated chewing.

Exploring Dose-Dependent Cytotoxicity Profile of Mediated Green Synthesized Silver Nanoparticles against MDA-MB-231 Breast Carcinoma.

Green-based synthesis of metal nanoparticles using marine seaweeds is a rapidly growing technology that is finding a variety of new applications. In the present study, the aqueous extract of a marine seaweed, , was employed for the synthesis of metallic nanoparticles without using any reducing and stabilizing chemical agents. The visual color change and validation through UV-Vis spectroscopy provided an initial confirmation regarding the -mediated green synthesized silver nanoparticles.

Untargeted Metabolomics in Piper betle Leaf Extracts to Discriminate the Cultivars of Coastal Odisha, India.

Betel leaf is consumed as a mouth freshener due to its characteristic flavor, aromaticity, and medicinal values. Abundance of phytochemicals in betel leaf contributes towards unique qualitative features. Screening of metabolites is quintessential for identifying flavoring betel leaves and their origin.
