Insects play crucial roles in their specific niches and are vital contributors to various ecosystem processes. They dominate the food webs of both terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems. A study was conducted at Kerala University to evaluate the diversity and abundance of insect species in selected habitats (North and South campus). Sampling was conducted using pitfall traps, sweep nets, beating sheets, Berlese funnels, and hand collection. The collected insects were brought back to the laboratory for identification and counting. A total of 965 insects from 9 Orders and 35 Families were recorded. Indices such as the Shannon index, Simpson index, Margalef index, Evenness index, and Sorenson similarity index were utilized to analyze the diversity of insects. The results indicated that Hymenoptera (30.155%), Orthoptera (25.596%), Lepidoptera (11.192%), and Coleoptera (8.290%) were the most dominant Orders on the campus, comprising 75.233% of the total, whereas the least abundant was Mantodea (0.622%). The South Campus exhibited high species diversity (Margalef index = 8.422), abundance (n = 686), Evenness (E = 0.776), and Shannon diversity (H = 3.124) of insects. It also showed a higher Simpson index (λ = 0.109) compared to the North Campus, which indicated (λ = 0.0610). Moreover, the South Campus recorded a very high number of species, with 56 species (Margalef index = 8.422) compared to 45 species (Margalef index = 7.813) recorded from the North Campus. The higher the index value, the greater the species richness. The high diversity and richness of insects in the southern habitat may be attributed to the large and less disturbed area, the presence of well-distributed ecological niches, more microhabitats, and an abundance of food. Therefore, understanding the factors that influence insect species diversity and abundance at the University of Kerala is important for conservation. This study, thus, highlights the diversity and abundance of insects and the need for sustainable measures to be implemented to conserve these significant species.
The rising rates of obesity have prompted a reevaluation of society's habits and this study examines the intersection of two key areas: current trends in obesity and advancements in food. Through a review of existing research, regulatory frameworks, and outcomes, this study aims to elucidate these areas and assess opportunities for collaboration. This analysis highlights how these foods not only offer direct health benefits but also how they align with public health policies to foster societal well-being. This study discusses the role of regulatory measures in shaping the market for healthy food options and examines the impact of these interventions on consumer behavior and industry practices. By investigating the dual scientific research and policy development, this study provides insights into the collaborative efforts required to tackle obesity effectively.
Vaccination stands as one of the most significant advancements in modern medicine. New vaccine platforms, such as mRNA vaccines and viral vector vaccines, have transformed vaccine development, enabling faster responses to emerging threats such as the COVID-19 pandemic. This study aims to improve understanding of the current status of vaccination and its implications for global health by synthesizing the most recent research findings and views from experts in the area. This review covers a wide range of subjects, including advances in vaccine design, delivery technologies, adjuvants, and immunization techniques. This study discusses a variety of topics, including vaccine development methodologies, innovative vaccine platforms, vaccine deployment problems, and future research directions. This assessment highlights the urgent need to accelerate the development and distribution of vaccinations to prevent infectious illnesses.
Regenerative medicine is a fast-developing field of study that hopes to usher in a new era of healthcare in which severe diseases and injuries may be efficiently treated and reversed. Stem cells have the potential to transform medicine and improve health worldwide. This study explores the diverse field of stem cell research in regenerative medicine, including their origins, sophisticated differentiation techniques, therapeutic applications, and ethical implications. The findings of this study show the tremendous effect of stem cell-based therapy on a wide range of illnesses and injuries. Combining stem cell therapies with gene therapy, immunotherapy, and pharmacology gives hope for improving treatment results and addressing complex disease processes.
The efficient management of hospitals is vital to the delivery of high-quality healthcare services and exceptional patient outcomes. This paper aims to explore the significance of health care management, its impact on people's health, and organizational fulfillment. Case studies and empirical research are used to evaluate the influence of numerous management strategies on organizational subculture, teamwork engagement, and patient outcomes. The importance of management in stimulating innovation, and dealing with complicated healthcare structures is also discussed. This paper emphasizes the need for visionary management to achieve organizational excellence and innovation and future developments in patient-targeted care models.
