Azerbaijan - Sufis and Protestants Raided

In December 2017, Sufi Muslim Rashad Abidov, whose home in the northern town of Sheki was raided by police during a religious meeting, managed to overturn the large fine he was handed down for holding a meeting without state permission. Police had brought the case against him rather than the officials of the State Committee for Work with Religious Organizations

Feeding India’s babies: Insights on trends and patterns from the National Family Health Surveys, 2015-16 to 2019-21

Early life nutrition sets the stage for the health, nutrition, and development of young children. Optimal infant and young child feeding (IYCF) practices begin with timely initiation of breastfeeding, followed by exclusive breastfeeding and complementary feeding. This Data Note provides an overview of trends and patterns in IYCF practices in India at the national-, state-, and district levels based on the 2015-16 and 2019-21 National Family Health Surveys (NFHS) data. IYCF indicators were created following World Health Organization and UNICEF’s 2021 guidelines.Non-PRIFPRI1; POSHAN; 2 Promoting Healthy Diets and Nutrition for all; CRP4Nutrition, Diets, and Health (NDH); Food and Nutrition Policy; SAR; A4NHCGIAR Research Program on Agriculture for Nutrition and Health (A4NH

Ozonation of Dyes and Textile Wastewater in a Rotating Packed Bed

[[abstract]]This study investigates the ozonation of Reactive Red 120 and Acid Red 299 dyes in the synthesized solution and textile wastewater by using a rotating packed bed. The decomposition rate of Reactive Red 120 and Acid Red 299 dyes via ozonation can be described by the pseudo-first-order kinetics. Ozonation of Reactive Red 120 exhibited the higher mineralization rate compared with that of Acid Red 299. The biodegradability of the two dyes could be significantly promoted during the ozonation. The BOD5/TOC (5-day biological oxygen demand/total organic carbons) ratios of the ozonated Reactive Red 120 and Acid Red 299 solutions would increase and have the maximum values. Moreover, the oxidized textile wastewater revealed the fast decolorization and moderate COD (chemical oxidation demand) removal rates. The optimal ADMI (American Dye Manufactures Institute) and COD removal of the textile wastewater were 93% and 37% in 30 minutes ozonation time, respectively. The performance evaluation of ozonation in the rotating packed bed indicated that the higher water flow rate, gas ozone concentration and rotational rotating speed would increase the efficiency of mineralization.[[journaltype]]國外[[incitationindex]]SCI[[incitationindex]]EI[[ispeerreviewed]]Y[[booktype]]紙本[[booktype]]電子版[[countrycodes]]US

Ozone utilisation for discharge printing of reactive dyed cotton

WOS: 000426132100002Environmental pollution is one of the major concerns of the textile finishing sector. The reduction or substitution of the harsh chemicals used during dyeing and printing processes is necessary. In this study, the use of ozone for the discharge printing process was examined in order to substitute the use of reductive agent and caustic soda by ozone gas. The reactive dyed cotton samples were wetted by water and some selected solutions at 25%, 40% and 60% pick up were used and subjected to ozone gas treatment. The gas flow rates were 5 and 10l/min for 5 and 10min treatment times, respectively. The results were compared with that of conventional discharge printed samples. Colour discharge (%), colour difference (E), strength, washing and rubbing fastness and chemical oxygen demand (COD) values were compared and reported. Colour discharge increased at higher gas flow rates and prolonged treatment times. Although ozone printing could not attain the contour sharpness of conventional discharge printing, the addition of selected chemicals affected colour discharge and the contour sharpness. Strength tests did not show a significant decrease when using ozone treatment. Fastness tests results (washing and rubbing) were slightly higher compared with conventional discharge printed samples. COD values were much lower for ozone treatment compared with conventional discharge printing effluent. Consequently, it was demonstrated that ozone may be an environmentally friendly substitute for discharge printing
