Modeling the supply chain sustainability imperatives in the fashion retail industry: Implications for sustainable development.

The resilience of established business strategies has been tested in the wake of recent global supply chain upheavals triggered by events like the COVID-19 pandemic, Russia-Ukraine combat, Hamas-Israel war, and other geopolitical conflicts. Organizations are compelled to integrate sustainable practices into their supply chains to navigate the complexities of the post-COVID-19 era and mitigate the far-reaching consequences of such disruptions. However, exploring supply chain imperatives from sustainability dimensions still remains underexplored, presenting a significant research gap, particularly in the fashion retail sector.

Variations in Furin SNPs, a Major Concern of SARS-CoV-2 Susceptibility Among Different Populations: An - Approach.

COVID-19 caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2) had an adverse effect globally because it caused a global pandemic with several million deaths. This virus possesses spike protein that is cleaved or activated by Furin-like protease enzymes occurring by mammalian lung or respiratory cells to enter the mammalian body. The addition of the Furin cleavage site in SARS-CoV-2 makes it a more infectious and emerging virus than its ancestor's viruses.

The discharge of toxic chemicals and materials containing wastes is contaminating surrounding water. However, there is still no sufficient published information particularly focusing on shipbreaking yard (SBY) water quality.

Structure-based virtual screening of Trachyspermum ammi metabolites targeting acetylcholinesterase for Alzheimer's disease treatment.

In recent decades, Alzheimer's disease (AD) has garnered significant attention due to its rapid global prevalence. The cholinergic hypothesis posits that the degradation of acetylcholine by acetylcholinesterase (AChE) contributes to AD development. Despite existing anti-AChE drugs, their adverse side effects necessitate new agents.
