Abstract

Teaching English has progressed rapidly with the changing requirements of society. Current study has not only the purpose of testing vocabulary enhancement by short stories but also monitors its effects on rural and urban population at secondary level. Present study utilizes Pre-test, post-test experimental design. Before the commencement of study, 50 students took their pre-test from rural site and 50 students took their pre-test from urban site. Only those 20, 20 students were selected from both sites whose accumulative score was almost the same. After this, five short stories were taught to both groups for five weeks with the same methodology. After the completion of coaching, a post-test was conducted. Marks of pre-test and post-test of both rural and urban groups were compared to see difference in learning. Data was analyzed statistically by using SPSS 20 for windows. Analysis of data proved that urban group had statistically significant improvement as compared to rural group. DOI: doi.org/10.24071/llt.2017.200207

Abstract

The purpose of this research was to find eco-friendly nanoparticles synthesized from the leaf extract of Tradescantia pallida and to find their antimicrobial activities. Phytochemical investigation of these plants reveals the occurrence of flavonoids, alkaloids, sterols, terpenoids, tannins, saponins, proteins, carbohydrates phenols, etc. Nanoparticle confirmation was done by UV/Visible spectroscopy which gives a peak at 429 nm for Ag-NPs and 532 nm for Au-NPs. The morphology of the nanoparticle was checked by spectroscopic techniques. The average size of the nanoparticles was established by using SEM analysis. The antibacterial activity of synthesized nanoparticles was checked against gram-positive and gram-negative bacterial strains like Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus aureus, Salmonella typhimurium, and Pseudomonas aeruginosa and for antifungal activity two fungal strain Candida albicans and Aspergillus niger were used. The results demonstrate that the synthesized nanoparticles have promising activity against all used strains and can be used as antimicrobial agents.

Abstract

Graphical Abstract   Highlight Research The grass carp was the species used in this study due to its ecological significance and sensitivity to pollutants. The study examined both acute and chronic toxicity effects of pesticides on grass carp to understand their immediate and long-term impact. Harmful effects on hematological profile of Grass carp fish were observed and hence are deleterious to aquatic life and environment. Biochemical changes observed, Emamectin Benzoate found more toxic than Acetochlor and Acetochlor is more toxic than Topsin-M.     Abstract This study investigates the novel combined effects of Emamectin Benzoate (pesticide), Acetochlor (herbicide), and Topsin-M (fungicide) on hematological and biochemical profiles in grass carp (Ctenopharyngodon idella), to fill critical gaps in understanding their ecotoxicological impacts on aquatic health and sustainable fisheries. Fishes from farm in Gujranwala were acclimatized in a freshwater aquarium laboratory for a week, then divided into four groups (E1, E2, E3, and E4) exposed to pesticide, herbicide, and fungicide concentrations for 5 and 14 days. Blood samples were collected for hematological and biochemical parameters. Exposure to Emamectin Benzoate induces significant increase in WBCs, neutrophils, MCV, MCH, and platelets, while a significant decrease was found in RBCs, lymphocytes, hemoglobin, PCV, and MCHC concentration. Acute toxicity of Acetochlor showed an increase in WBCs, neutrophils, MCV, MCH contents, and platelets, while a decrease in RBCs, lymphocytes, hemoglobin, PCV, and MCHC contents was noted. Effects of Topsin-M showed an increase in WBCs, neutrophils, MCV, MCH contents, and platelets. However, a significant decrease in RBCs, lymphocytes, hemoglobin, PCV, and MCHC contents has been observed. It reveals that Uric acid, serum lipase, Sodium, Phosphorous, Bilirubin, and Potassium increased significantly. Exposure to chemicals induced significant declines in the levels of Lactate dehydrogenase (LDH), Triglyceride, HDL Cholesterol, SGPT (ALT) Creatinine, and ALK Phosphatase which caused illness in fish. This study shows potential for biomonitoring of aquatic environments.
