Abstract: This research aimed to examine the advantages of the development of health and wellness tourism along the Kenyan coast, with a specific focus on Mombasa County. In recent years, there has been a notable surge in the commercialization of health and wellness, driven by the increasing demand for wellness-oriented tourism. Consequently, the health and wellness industry has flourished, utilizing various destinations as hubs for health and wellness tourism, with Mombasa being a prominent example in Kenya. Health and wellness tourism have the capacity to foster the growth of the hospitality industry, leading to increased revenue and job opportunities. This positive economic.....

Abstract: Groundwater depletion presents a multifaceted challenge with profound implications for the environment, society, and economy, on a global scale and specifically in India- the largest extractor of groundwater (UN Water, 2022). Groundwater constitutes a vital and finite resource, serving as a primary source of drinking water for over 2 billion people globally (Kundzewicz & Döll, 2009), and supporting nearly 70% of agricultural water needs (UN Water, 2022). As groundwater depletion accelerates, it contributes to alarming consequences such as sea-level rise (Aeschbach-Hertig & Gleeson.....

Abstract: The green synthesis of copper nanoparticles (Cu NPs) using a leaf extract from Parthenium hysterophorus has been documented in our present research work. The existence of flavonoids, tannins, glycosides, and alkaloids was confirmed by the phytochemical analysis of the plant extract and these chemicals can be used as reducing, stabilizing and capping agents. The Cu NPs were characterised by TEM and UV-vis spectrophotometry. The average sizes of the nanoparticles are found between 5-50nm indicating the effective reducing activity of plant extract and has many environmental applications.

Abstract: Résumé Cette étude a été menée auprès des 124 acheteurs/consommateurs et 126 vendeurs fréquentant les 5 grands marchés de Kinshasa dont le Grand Marché de Kinshasa, Marché de Matete, Marché de Liberté, Marché Gambela et Marché de Selembao choisis parmi tant d'autres marchés de la ville pour une enquête quantitative de type CAP structurée d'un échantillon de 250 enquêtés afin de savoir si leurs ménages consomment ou associent les fruits dans leur alimentation quotidienne. Malgré la disponibilité et la diversité des fruits tropicaux et subtropicaux inondant les marchés locaux de Kinshasa, il s'avère seulement que 18,0 % des ménages des vendeurs et acheteurs enquêtés associent les fruits dans leur alimentation quotidienne.......

Abstract: Résumé Cette étude a été menée dans 8 grands sites maraîchers de la ville-province de Kinshasa pour les prélèvements des échantillons des sédiments (en amont, au milieu et en aval) dans les rivières, les étangs et les marécages pendant la saison sèche dans les sites maraîchers des Tshuenge (TS), Kimpoko (KI), Rifflaert (RI), Cecomaf (CE), Lemba-Imbu (LI), Monastère (MON), Mombele/Agricole (MO) et Saïo (SA) pour être dosés en métaux toxiques (cadmium, plomb, arsenic, nickel, zinc et mercure). Les résultats des analyses ont montré que les teneurs du Zn, Pb, Cr et Hg révèlent un enrichissement métallique des sédiments dans les sites de maraîchage enquêtés et les résultats des Igéo et FE obtenus pour les Zn, Pb et Hg ont prouvé à suffisance que les différents niveaux de contamination des sédiments viennent d'une source anthropique prédominante.......

Abstract: Poor Feacal Sludge Management (FSM) has been one of the foremost environmental problems in most urban areas of Nigeria. Despite this acknowledgement which is well known, there has consistently been veritable practices of poor management of FSM in these urban areas, preventing safe and commercially viable FSM services by both urban and Local Government Authorities. The survey by WHO-UNICEF Joint Monitoring Program (JMP) showed that 29 percent of Nigerians were using sanitation technologies considered to be safe while 71 percent of others daily use unsafe sanitation facilities (Fed. Ministry of Water Resources, 2018). However, quite recently the outcome of the national routine map of WASH services in Nigeria clearly revealed that only.......

Abstract: Background: The coexistence of chemical éléments within a mineral or mineral assemblage is the result of certain affinities between these éléments. In the case of petroleum-bearing sedimentary rocks such as Donga and Yogou, these affinities often reflect the environmental conditions in which the rocks were deposited.
Materials and methods: The statistical study of the chemical éléments present in the minerals of the Donga and Yogou drill cuttings is based on the integration of elemental mineral geochemistry data obtained with an RFX. Results: This study revealed the presence of 23 chemical éléments, of which Rb, Ba, Ni, V, Co, K, Fe, Al, Ti and Zr are derived from clay, detrital and heavy minerals, while the chemical éléments Cl, Mo, Pb, Zn, Cu, Cr, Si, S and Mn are linked to organic matter......

Abstract: Modern agriculture appears to have a very diversified impact on the soil not only for the crops used but also for the type of fertilizer used. One of the least studied impacts is that on the soil microbiome. Maintaining a stable soil microbial community structure is crucial in preserving soil production potential and overall soil health. Various nitrogen (N) addition strategies induced changes in soil physicochemical properties which are correlated with alterations in microbial community structure and partial microbial abundance, thereby displaying differences in carbon and nitrogen use efficiencies1. Therefore it becomes important to analyse how the microbiology of the soil and the effects of the fertilizers used can vary.....

Abstract: Urban heat islands (UHIs) show up as one of the most steady and measurable outcomes tied to fast urban growth around the globe. In general, cities end up noticeably warmer than nearby countryside areas—sometimes by 1°C to 7°C—because natural cover gets swapped for heat absorbing materials, building shapes change the local airflow and radiation balance, and people add extra heat through everyday activities. That new thermal scene is not.....
