    Abstract Existing literatures across the world highlighted the causes and rate of wetland loss; however, so far, no researches tried to analyze how these are guided by the socioeconomic and ecological conditions. The current review work wished to explore how economic and socioecological perspectives could control the rate and drivers of urban wetland loss. Through meta-analysis, this study also intended to explore the changing polarity in research publication and collaborative research. Total 287 original research articles indicating the rates and drivers of wetland loss from 1990 to June 2022 for the first objective and 1500 articles focusing wetland researches from Dimensions AI database for the last objective were taken.Results clearly revealed that the rate of urban wetland loss varies from 0.03 to 3.13% annually, and three main drivers like built-up, agricultural expansions, pollution were identified all across the world. Loss rate was found maximum in the developing and least developed countries. Pollution, built-up expansion, and agriculture expansion, respectively, in developed, developing, and least developed nations were identified as the most dominant drivers of urban wetland loss. Linking loss rate and drivers with socioecological and economic perspectives revealed that human development index (HDI), ecological performance index (EPI), sustainable development goal index (SDGI), and social progress index (SPI) is negatively associated with the rate of urban wetland loss. Contrarily, a poverty rate encouraged higher rate of loss. This study articulated that improving these socioecological and economic conditions could help wetland conservation and restoration to achieve SDGs.

    Abstract Quantifying anthropogenic impacts on blue space (BS) and its effect on human and socio-ecological health was least explored. The present study aimed to do this in reference to the urban BS transformation scenario of Eastern India. To measure BS transformation, Landsat image-based water indices were run from 1990 to 2021. Anthropogenic impact score (AIS) and 7 components scores of 78 selected BS on 70 parameters related data driven from the field. Total 345 respondents were taken for human and socio-ecological health assessment. For this, depression (DEP), anxiety (ANX), stress (STR), physical activities (PA), social capital (SC), therapeutic landscape (TL) and environment building (EB) parameters were taken. The result exhibited that BS was reduced. About 50% of urban core BS was reported highly impacted. Human and socio-ecological health was identified as good in proximity to BS, but it was observed better in the cases of larger peripheral BS. AIS on BS was found to be positively associated with mental health (0.47-0.63) and negatively associated with PA, SC, TL and EB (-0.50 to -0.90). Standard residual in ordinary least square was reported low (-1.5 to 1.5) in 95% BS. Therefore, BS health restoration and management is crucial for sustaining the living environment.

    Abstract In recent years, the characterization and fabrication methods concerning new bioinks have received much attention, largely because the absence of bioprintable materials has been identified as one of the most rudimentary challenges for rapid advancement in the field of three-dimensional (3D) printing. Bioinks for printing mammalian organs have been rapidly produced, but bioinks in the field of plant science remain sparse. Thus, 3D fabrication of plant parts is still in its infancy due to the lack of appropriate bioink materials, and aside from that, the difficulty in recreating sophisticated microarchitectures that accurately and safely mimic natural biological activities is a concern. Therefore, this review article is designed to emphasize the significance of bioinks and their applications in plant bioprinting.

    Abstract Present study examines the possible improvement of thermal discomfort mitigation. Unlike prior researches, which focused primarily on cooling effects of urban blue space, this study, instead of physical presence of blue space considers its hydrological components. The aim of the study is to better understand the role hydrological components like water consistency depth etc. In temperature regulation. The work uses field surveys and modeling to demonstrate how these hydrological factors influence the cooling effect of blue space, providing insights on urban thermal management. To fulfill the purpose, spatial association of hydrological components blue space with its thermal environment and cooling effects was assessed. The control of hydrological components on the surrounding air temperature was examined by conducting case studies. RESULTS: reveals greater hydro-duration, deeper water, and higher Water Presence Frequency (WPF) produce greater cooling effects. The study demonstrates a favorable correlation between hydrological richness and temperature reduction. The study also analyzes how land use and wetland size affect temperature, emphasizing the significance of hydrological conservation and restoration for successful temperature mitigation. Due to their hydrology, larger wetlands are able to moderate temperature to some extent, whereas smaller, fragmented wetlands being hydrologically poor are not so influential in this regard. With these results, the present study reaches beyond to the general understanding regarding the cooling effects of the urban blue spaces. While the previous studies primarily focused on estimating the cooling effect of urban blue space, the current one shows its synchronization with the hydrological characteristics. Novelty also entrusts here, through the modeling and field survey current study demonstrates deeper and consistent water coverage in the urban blue space for maximum period of a year pronounces the cooling effect. In addition, in this cooling effect, the role of land use which is a strong determinant of many aspects of the urban environment is also highlighted. Since all these findings define specific hydrological feature, the study has several practical implications. Mare restoration of urban blue space is not enough to mitigate the thermal discomfort. In order to optimize the cooling effect, the conservation of the hydrological richness is essential. The hydrological richness of the smaller wetlands and the edge of the larger wetlands is to be improved. The connection of these wetlands with the adjacent mighty may strengthen the hydrology. The vegetation was found to promote the cooling effect whereas shorter building helped in spreading the cooling effect. Such finding drives to incorporate the blue space with the green infrastructure along with restricting the building height atleast at the edge of the blue space.

    Abstract Pigments, which are naturally found in a variety of fruits and are categorized as natural dyes, are compounds that impart color to a variety of products in the food industry. Natural colorants are being used in the food industry to broaden the color pallet. Exploration and long-term use of underutilized crops (also known as minor or neglected) are critical for dietary diversification as well as fulfilling the nutritional needs of an ever-increasing human population. In recent years, the potential for underutilized crops as an emerging source of natural colorants has gained traction in the scientific community. The predominant factors behind the exploration of unconventional plants are sustainable production, local availability, technological feasibility, cultural importance, specialty food production, and new fundamental insights. There is an urgent need to uncover and explore underutilized plants in the changing world where unfavorable climatic and human conditions endanger natural vegetation around the planet. Humans have been using plant-based pigments since ancient times. Alternative vegetal resources and the re-discovery of underutilized plants should be prioritized in the hunt for important natural colorants. This review demonstrates the potential of this underutilized natural resource to extract promising natural colorants, which can be utilized in the food industry in the future. A scientific approach as well as research regarding the investigation, utilization, the discovery of new plant species having valuable natural pigments, their actions safety, and nutritional properties, is still needed around the world.

    Abstract This manuscript delves into the intersection of genomics and phenotypic prediction, focusing on the statistical innovation required to navigate the complexities introduced by noisy covariates and confounders. The primary emphasis is on the development of advanced robust statistical models tailored for genomic prediction from single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) data collected from genome-wide association studies (GWAS) in plant and animal breeding and multi-field trials. The manuscript explores the limitations of traditional marker-assisted recurrent selection, highlighting the significance of incorporating all estimated effects of marker loci into the statistical framework and aiming to reduce the high dimensionality of GWAS data while preserving critical information. This paper introduces a new robust statistical framework for genomic prediction, employing one-stage and two-stage linear mixed model analyses along with utilizing the popular robust minimum density power divergence estimator (MDPDE) to estimate genetic effects on phenotypic traits. The study illustrates the superior performance of the proposed MDPDE-based genomic prediction and associated heritability estimation procedures over existing competitors through extensive empirical experiments on artificial datasets and application to a real-life maize breeding dataset. The results showcase the robustness and accuracy of the proposed MDPDE-based approaches, especially in the presence of data contamination, emphasizing their potential applications in improving breeding programs and advancing genomic prediction of phenotyping traits.

    Abstract Though the biological treatment employing bacterial strains has wide application in effluent treatment plant, it has got several limitations. Researches hence while looking for alternative biological organisms that can be used for secondary treatment came up with the idea of using microalgae. Since then, a large number of microalgal/cyanobacterial strains have been identified that can efficiently remove pollutants from wastewater. Some researchers also found out that the algal biomass not only acts as a carbon sink by taking up carbon dioxide from the atmosphere and giving oxygen but also is a renewable source of several value-added products that can be extracted from it for the commercial use. In this work, the cleaning effect of different species of microalgae/cyanobacteria on wastewater from varied sources along with the value-added products obtained from the algal biomass as observed by researchers during the past few years are reviewed. While a number of review works in the field of phycoremediation technology was reported in literature, a comprehensive study on phycoremediation of wastewater from different industries and household individually is limited. In the present review work, the efficiency of diverse microalgal/cyanobacterial strains in treatment of wide range of industrial effluents along with municipal wastewater having multi-pollutants has been critically reviewed.
