The precautions are taken to ensure laboratory biosecurity and biosafety should be a part of the laboratory safety policy manual for guidance and implementation for a safe laboratory environment.Keywords: Antioxidants; tomato; lycopene; β-carotene; reactive oxygen species (ROS)

Nanopesticides in comparison with agrochemicals: Outlook and future prospects for sustainable agriculture

Agrochemicals are products of advanced technologies that use inorganic pesticides and fertilizers. Widespread use of these compounds has adverse environmental effects, leading to acute and chronic exposure. Globally, scientists are adopting numerous green technologies to ensure a healthy and safe food supply and a livelihood for everyone. Nanotechnologies significantly impact all aspects of human activity, including agriculture, even if synthesizing certain nanomaterials is not environmentally friendly. Numerous nanomaterials may therefore make it easier to create natural insecticides, which are more effective and environmentally friendly. Nanoformulations can improve efficacy, reduce effective doses, and extend shelf life, while controlled-release products can improve the delivery of pesticides. Nanotechnology platforms enhance the bioavailability of conventional pesticides by changing kinetics, mechanisms, and pathways. This allows them to bypass biological and other undesirable resistance mechanisms, increasing their efficacy. The development of nanomaterials is expected to lead to a new generation of pesticides that are more effective and safer for life, humans, and the environment. This article aims to express at how nanopesticides are being used in crop protection now and in the future. This review aims to shed some light on the various impacts of agrochemicals, their benefits, and the function of nanopesticide formulations in agriculture

Corporate Social Responsibility and Firm Financial Performance: Moderating role of Ethical Leadership and Social Capital

This study examines the relationship between corporate social responsibility (CSR) and the firm financial performance in Pakistan with the mediating role of ethical leadership and social capital between CSR and financial performance. Data was collected by applying random probability sampling from 178 respondents through a survey method from employees of non-financial PSX listed firms. Linear regression was conducted through SPSS to test hypotheses. The regression results confirmed a positive and significant relationship between CSR and financial performance. The results further reveal a positive significant moderating role of ethical leadership between CSR and financial performance but no moderating role of social capital between CSR and financial performance. The study has implications for both scholars and management. The study has implications for both scholars and practitioners. The results reveal the vital role of a leader ethical conduct in implementing CSR practices and its positive effect on financial performance of an organization

Effects of mental imagery technique in addition to conventional physical therapy to improve hand functions in chronic stroke patient

Objective: To find the effect of mental imagery and conventional physical therapy for the treatment of hand function in chronic stroke patients. Methods: A randomized controlled trial was conducted at Rana and Alvi welfare society. A sample of 50 stroke patients was selected and divided in two groups; group A (experimental) and group B (control).  Inclusion and exclusion criteria were established and patients meeting inclusion criteria were included in the study. P value was set as 0.05. Group A was treated with conventional physical therapy combined with mental imagery whereas Group B was treated with conventional physical therapy alone. Wolf motor function test and action research arm test was used as outcome measures. Results: Group A consisted of 68% of females and 32% of males and group B comprised of 44% females and 32% males.

Some Fractional Operators with the Generalized Bessel-Maitland Function

In this paper, we aim to determine some results of the generalized Bessel-Maitland function in the field of fractional calculus. Here, some relations of the generalized Bessel-Maitland functions and the Mittag-Leffler functions are considered. We develop Saigo and Riemann-Liouville fractional integral operators by using the generalized Bessel-Maitland function, and results can be seen in the form of Fox-Wright functions. We establish a new operator Z,η,ρ,γ,w,a+μ,,m,σφ and its inverse operator D,η,ρ,γ,w,a+μ,,m,σφ, involving the generalized Bessel-Maitland function as its kernel, and also discuss its convergence and boundedness. Moreover, the Riemann-Liouville operator and the integral transform (Laplace) of the new operator have been developed. © 2020 R. S. Ali et al
