Plant-Based Foods Vs. Animal-Based Foods: A Comprehensive Review on Their Impacts on Human Health

Human diets are broadly classified into plant-based and animal-based categories, each offering distinct nutritional and health implications. The debate over which type of diet is more beneficial for human health has gained significant attention in recent years due to the rising prevalence of chronic diseases, lifestyle disorders, and environmental concerns. Plant-based diets emphasize fruits, vegetables, grains, legumes, and nuts, rich in fiber, antioxidants, vitamins, and phytochemicals that promote longevity and reduce disease risk. In contrast, animal-based diets are dense in protein, essential amino acids, vitamin B12, and omega-3 fatty acids, but excessive consumption has been linked to cardiovascular diseases, diabetes, and certain cancers. This review aims to compare the nutritional, physiological, and epidemiological impacts of plant and animal food consumption on human health, highlighting the balance required between the two for optimal well-being

Review Of A Research Paper On Magnetosomes

Magnetosomes, biologically synthesized magnetic nanoparticles found in magnetotactic bacteria, have attracted significant research interest due to their unique structural and magnetic properties. This paper explores the formation, organization, and applications of magnetosomes in nanotechnology and biomedical fields. The study builds on prior research, including the pioneering work of Blakemore (1975) on magnetotactic bacteria and the genetic studies by Schüler (2008) on magnetosome formation. Using high-resolution electron microscopy, genetic analysis, and magnetic characterization techniques, the paper provides new insights into the role of specific genes, as previously suggested by Komeili (2012). The study further expands on the findings of Faivre and Schüler (2008) regarding the biophysical properties of magnetosomes. Finally, the applications of magnetosomes in biomedicine, as discussed by Alphandéry (2014) and Sun et al. (2017), are evaluated in light of new experimental data

Green Roofs and Urban Greening For Environmental Sustainability: A Review

Rapid urbanization has drastically altered natural ecosystems, replacing permeable and vegetated landscapes with impervious surfaces that exacerbate urban heat, air pollution, flooding, and loss of biodiversity. Green roofs and urban greening have emerged as innovative nature-based solutions to restore ecological balance and promote environmental sustainability in cities. Green roofs—vegetated systems constructed atop buildings—along with urban green spaces such as vertical gardens, parks, and street plantations, provide multifunctional benefits that include temperature regulation, energy conservation, stormwater management, carbon sequestration, and mental well-being. This review synthesizes research findings from around the world, highlighting design principles, environmental performance, and socio-economic implications of green infrastructure. The paper also identifies key challenges in policy, maintenance, and adaptation to climate zones, and proposes an integrated model for resilient urban development

GREEN CHEMISTRY APPROACHES FOR MITIGATING WATER POLLUTION: INNOVATIONS AND CHALLENGES

Water pollution remains one of the greatest threats to environmental sustainability and human health in the 21st century. Conventional remediation strategies—such as chlorination, coagulation, and activated carbon adsorption—while effective, are resource-intensive, costly, and generate secondary pollutants. The principles of green chemistry, emphasizing sustainability, waste minimization, and the use of renewable feedstocks, offer promising alternatives for addressing water contamination. This review consolidates research on biodegradable adsorbents, plant-based coagulants, solar-driven photocatalysis, bio-inspired nanomaterials, and waste-to-resource innovations. It examines their effectiveness in removing heavy metals, pesticides, pharmaceuticals, dyes, and microplastics, while critically evaluating limitations such as scalability and by-product formation. The integration of green chemistry approaches into environmental management and policy frameworks is highlighted, alongside future directions for achieving clean and sustainable water resources

Vegetables, Nutrients and Human Health: A Comprehensive Review

Vegetables constitute a cornerstone of a balanced human diet, providing vital nutrients including dietary fiber, vitamins, minerals, and numerous bioactive phytochemicals that maintain physiological functions and prevent disease. Numerous cohort and clinical studies demonstrate that regular vegetable consumption lowers the risk of cardiovascular disease, cancer, type 2 diabetes, obesity, and premature mortality.These benefits are largely attributed to the antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and metabolic regulatory actions of vegetable-derived compounds. This review summarizes the nutrient composition of vegetables, their mechanisms in disease prevention, and the implications for human health, supported by recent scientific evidence

Biomineralisation: An Interdisciplinary Overview Of Biological Processes And Applications

Effect of Pharmaceutical Residues on Aquatic Ecosystems

Pharmaceutical residues have emerged as persistent organic micropollutants in aquatic ecosystems worldwide. These residues originate primarily from domestic sewage, hospital discharges, pharmaceutical manufacturing, and agricultural activities. Due to their chemical stability, bioactivity, and low biodegradability, pharmaceuticals persist in the environment, accumulating in sediments and biota. Their presence at even trace concentrations can lead to hormonal disruptions, behavioral alterations, and toxicity in aquatic organisms. This review highlights the pathways, persistence, ecotoxicological effects, and mitigation strategies of pharmaceutical residues in aquatic ecosystems. The findings emphasize the urgent need for sustainable management strategies and innovative wastewater treatment technologies to protect aquatic biodiversity and ecosystem health
