Abstract: Although in vitro fertilization (IVF) has come a long way, the success rate of IVF is still less than 40%. Furthermore, approximately 10% of women who receive IVF with intracytoplasmic sperm injection experience repeated implantation failure (RIF). Intralipid, which refers to a lipid emulsion comprising soybean oil, is an example of immunotherapy.
Intralipids have been proposed to effectively reduce the enhanced NK activation and production of cytokines. On the contrary, more recent data sourced by a double-blind randomized study indicated no increase in clinical pregnancy rates in patients with RM (Recurrent Miscarriage) who were subjected to intralipid therapy. The current Intralipid treatment is done by vein infusion. It is suggested to use it by Combined Hysteroscopy and Uterine Intralipid Injection (UII) before fertilization in women with secondary infertility or recurrent miscarriage..

Abstract: Acacia senegal (L.) Britton, present throughout the Malian Sahel, is an agroforestry species that plays a very important role in the socio-economic life of local populations. In the current context of climate change, its density seems to be decreasing significantly last years. With this in mind, the present study was conducted on six sites in the western Sahel of Mali (Nioro) to characterize the natural formations wood of Acacia Senegal L stands. To do so, floristic and dendrometric surveys were carried out on 88 plots of 1000 m2 as a minimum area each. The analyses focused on the distribution and floristic diversity........

Abstract: The current study is the first algal investigation into freshwater algae and cyanobacteria at the Al Wathba Wetland Reserve Lake (AWWR) in Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates (UAE). The emphasiswas on
cyanobacteria since knowledge on the biodiversity of freshwater species of green algae isfragmentary. The main aim of this study was to contribute to the species list of greenalgae and cyanobacteria from the lake as well as to evaluate species richness of algaeand cyanobacteria. There were seven water samples/mats from four different sampling locations collected for the study which includes surface and bottom samples for the sites having more depth during the summer, on 29th June.......

Abstract: In renewable energy research, solar energy, along with wind, water and geothermal energy sources has got accelerating interest due to degrading environmental conditions. Solar energy is renewable, abundant and pollution free. Solar cells are the means to convert light energy from sun to electrical energy using photovoltaic effect. This made the need to advance the research and manufacture solar cells and photovoltaic arrays, as once installed solar panels produce zero emissions as they convert sunlight directly into electrical energy. However, Silicon abundantly available material has the disadvantage of high cost due to extensive wafer processing required. This gave way to research of new materials and technologies. Here, a review is done to better understand the various generations of solar cell material technologies to ease their flexibility in various applications.

Abstract: This study investigated the efficacy of palm kernel shell powder (PKSP) and poultry manure (PM) as amendment materials for the enhancement of remediation of crude-oil polluted agricultural soil of Obio-kpor Local Government Area, Rivers State in relation to maize (Zea mays) growth. Experimental studies encompassing bio stimulation was carried out on the remediation of the crude-oil polluted soil amended with PM and PKSP. The experiment comprised of eight groups each set up in triplicate totaling twenty-four cells in a completely randomized block design. The cells were artificially contaminated with 500mls of Escravous light crude oil. The Ist set up with no pollution.....

Abstract: This research objective was to reveal the level of disclosures of carbon emissions in Indonesia and Malaysia and compare the two in the mining sector, including oil and gas. In measuring the level of emission disclosure, this research used disclosure indicators derived from the Sustainability Accounting Standards Boards (SASB), Global Reporting Initiative (GRI), and Emission Information Disclosure (EID) obtained from other scientific literature used by Nurdiawansyah et al. (2018). The sample population consisted of mining sector companies, including oil and gas listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX) for Indonesian companies and Malaysian companies listed on the Malaysia Stock Exchange. It was found that the disclosure of carbon emissions through the disclosure of the SASB indicators did not have a significant difference. In contrast, the disclosure with GRI and EID had a significant difference. Therefore, it can be concluded that, in general, the disclosure of carbon emissions in Indonesia and Malaysia had a significant difference.

Abstract: As a result of climate change, it has been discovered that the distribution, abundance, and life cycles of bird species are changing, which alters biodiversity and community compositions that can be quantified, for instance, by climate change indicators. There are numerous instances when the distributional ranges of species have shifted, with the abundance of some species decreasing as they get closer to their latitudinal or altitudinal boundaries. Phenology, genetics, and population sizes, however, have also been hypothesized to be impacted by climate change. Even though there is only recent evidence for localized climate-driven extinction events for birds, climate change is one of the major risk factors that could lead to the extinction of all bird species. It has been shown that climate change poses a threat, particularly to cold-adapted, restricted-range, and slowly adapting species. This.....
