It can be used to help identify the composer of a piece of music, to determine the ownership of a copyright, or to resolve disputes over the use of musical works. Forensic musicologists may also be called upon to give expert testimony in court cases involving questions of music. Forensic musicology is a relatively new field, and there are no formal educations or training requirements for becoming a forensic musicologist. However, most forensic musicologists have advanced degrees in music theory, musicology, or a related field, and many also have experience working as professional musicians. Forensic musicologists use their knowledge of musical composition, history, and performance to answer questions raised in legal cases. Forensic musicologists typically collaborate with attorneys, judges, and other legal professionals to provide expert testimony or analysis in court cases. In some cases, they may also be asked to testify in front of a grand jury or give depositions. Forensic musicologists may also be consulted by law enforcement agencies to help identify unknown pieces of music or to authenticate recordings. This review will focus on the application of forensic musicology in civil and criminal cases.

Silver nanoparticles (AgNPs), measuring less than 100 nm, have shown promising impact in several biomedical investigations. These can inhibit microbial growth and aid in medicine administration. Six substrates of Carica papaya were used to synthesize silver nanoparticles that can limit the growth of bacteria and fungi. In this article, we report the synthesis of AgNPs from the leaf, seed, callus, peel, fruit juice, and bark of Carica papaya. AgNPs synthesized from callus showed the most promising results when tested against the growth of bacteria like Xanthomonas campestris, Erwinia carotovera, Bacillus subtilis, and fungi (Aspergillus niger and Fusarium oxysporum) when compared with other extracts' efficacy, and the callus was regenerated from petiole and midrib explants of Carica papaya in MS basal media supplemented with NAA and Kinetin (1 + 0.5 mg/L). A ratio of 1:20 of substrate extract to 1 mM AgNO 3 produced the most effective nanoparticles in terms of capping, quality, and stability when tested through surface plasmon resonance (SPR) within the 400-435 nm range. The nanoparticle sizes of all six types were measured using Image J software on micrographs of SEM at 200 nm resolution. The average diameters were analyzed through Origin software, and the finest AgNPs were observed to be synthesized from callus extract, i.e., 18.91 nm with rod-like morphology. Energy dispersive X-ray (EDX) at 2.6 keV revealed 43.38, 75.39, 70.611, 36.54, 58.57, and 45.94 percent elemental silver in AgNPs formed from the leaf, callus, juice, seed, bark, and peel extract, respectively. Silver nanoparticles synthesized from callus extract were smaller and exhibited the most effective antimicrobial potential, with the highest inhibitory zone of 19 mm against Xanthomonas campestris bacterium and up to 14 mm against Aspergillus niger fungus. Furthermore, the percentage of elemental Ag (measured through EDX) was found to be highest in the nanoparticles synthesized from callus compared to those synthesized from the leaf, seed, peel, fruit juice, and bark of Carica papaya. Hence, the callus extract is the most suitable substrate for the reduction of silver nitrate solution in 1:20 to form the finest silver nanoparticles in an effective biogenic way.

All of the above vaccinations were authorized to Pakistan, bypassing Pfizer and Moderna. The effectiveness, safety, mechanism of action, dosage, and availability of mandatory vaccines in Pakistan up to May 20, 2021. We searched PubMed and Google Scholar for all known material on COVID-19 vaccinations. We also looked at grey literature papers. Instead of Pfizer and Moderna, Pakistan has approved all the preceding vaccines. Moderna and Pfizer were determined to be the most effective among all vaccinations, with 90% effectiveness, followed by Vaxzevria, Sputnik V, Sinopharm, and Cansino. All immunizations have caused lesser bad effects like fever, injection site pain, or headaches. Further clinical studies are being done throughout the world to combat the epidemic. In large populations, public attention plays a critical role in vaccination efforts.

However, most of the soil's phosphorus is still insoluble, making it difficult for plants to absorb. This creates a barrier to ecologically responsible farming methods and calls for innovative approaches to phosphorus solubilization. Solublizing microorganisms improve the availability of phosphorous in soil. The term "phosphorus-solubilizing microorganisms" (PSMs) describes various fungi or bacteria that divide the phosphorus into more soluble forms. It shows how PSMs interact with plants and their processes to solubilize phosphorus. Soil pH, temperature, and nutrient availability are only a few parameters affecting its activity. PSMs are investigated for their potential to increase plant phosphorus absorption and use, thereby boosting agricultural yield and nutrient usage efficiency. The use of PSMs and their effects on the environment are also evaluated. By using PSMs, farmers may use less chemical phosphorus fertilizers that contribute to runoff and eutrophication in waterways. Furthermore, PSMs may improve soil structure, decrease nutrient losses, and increase nutrient cycling, all of which contribute to soil health and the long-term viability of agricultural systems. Phosphorus-solubilizing microorganisms have enormous promise in environmentally responsible farming and land management. Better phosphorus availability, greater agricultural output, less pollution, and better soil health are all possible outcomes of using PSMs. However, further study is required to determine the best application strategies, formulations, and choices of PSMs for various soil and plant systems. Incorporating PSMs into agricultural operations can potentially improve environmental sustainability and resilience. This article will explore the potential of PSMs in addressing critical environmental challenges, including soil erosion, nutrient runoff, sustainable farming practices, and resource conservation.

In these warm-blooded creatures, it mostly goes unnoticed but can occasionally result in neurological, ophthalmic, and reproductive issues, particularly in cases where a mammal contracts the infection while pregnant. Rabbits, like many other domesticated animals, can harbor T. gondii and spread the infection because of their widespread use as food and laboratory subjects. This research was done to find out anti-T. gondii antibodies in Lahore, Pakistan's rabbit (Oryctolagus cuniculus) population. Our research also aimed to determine if there was a difference in T. gondii infection rates based on gender and age. 273 Blood Samples were attained from 6 different areas of Lahore: Rehan Ishaq Rabbit Farm, Data Nagar, Walled City, Misri Shah, Karim Park, and Sanda Khurd and were analyzed using the commercial Indirect-Enzyme Linked Immunosorbent Assay (ELISA) kit. Chi-square and Pearson's Correlation tests were used for statistical investigations via GraphPad Prism software. Overall, 7.32 per cent (20/273) of rabbits were reported to have T. gondii antibodies. At the gender level, the findings showed a higher prevalence in males of 12.40% (16/129) than in females of 2.7% (4/144). The relationship between age and toxoplasmosis was found positive (r = 0.098). The observed seroprevalence of T. gondii is described as a health hazard to people who are in close contact with rabbits. Therefore, the screening of animals is suggested before their use as food and for experimental work by humans.

Components of Chinese medicine that can be used to cure illness and provide healthcare include medicinal and culinary plants because of the similarity between their roles as food and medicine. Primary prevention is critical in lowering the incidence of CVDs, breakthroughs in reducing dyslipidemia can significantly reduce morbidity and mortality associated with CVDs. Sandalwood oil and its extract are traditionally used to treat different conditions which include diabetes, cancer, dyslipidemia, and cardiovascular diseases. The current research was examined to evaluate the cardio-protective effects of sandalwood powder as primary prevention in treatment of hyperlipidemia. For this purpose, sandalwood powder was initially analyzed for chemical phytochemical analysis. Furthermore, to check its hypolipidemic effects Hyperlipidemic females were selected from age 30-50 years and divided into three equal groups in which Control group were not given any doses, While the experimental group G1 and G2 were given 2g and 4g doses respectively along their regular medication. Biochemical test of patients along with physical parameters like weight and height were also observed before the initiation and after the end of trial. The results showed that wood powder contains 0.44% moisture content,15.94% ash content, 0.00% crude fat, 04.05% crude fiber, 3.625% crude protein and NFE 75.90%. Sandalwood powders also contain a certain amount of antioxidant Total phenolic content (TPC) 315.33±11.51. Total flavonoids contents (TFC) 25.39±2.87. The patient's biochemical data revealed that the experimental groups G1 and G2 had considerably (P 0.001) lower serum lipid profiles before the study ended, whereas HDL levels had increased. Besides helping people lose weight and drink more water, sandalwood powder also has anti-hyperlipidemic properties.

In these warm-blooded creatures, it mostly goes unnoticed but can occasionally result in neurological, ophthalmic, and reproductive issues, particularly in cases where a mammal contracts the infection while pregnant. Rabbits, like many other domesticated animals, can harbor T. gondii and spread the infection because of their widespread use as food and laboratory subjects. This research was done to find out anti-T. gondii antibodies in Lahore, Pakistan's rabbit (Oryctolagus cuniculus) population. Our research also aimed to determine if there was a difference in T. gondii infection rates based on gender and age. 273 Blood Samples were attained from 6 different areas of Lahore: Rehan Ishaq Rabbit Farm, Data Nagar, Walled City, Misri Shah, Karim Park, and Sanda Khurd and were analyzed using the commercial Indirect-Enzyme Linked Immunosorbent Assay (ELISA) kit. Chi-square and Pearson's Correlation tests were used for statistical investigations via GraphPad Prism software. Overall, 7.32 per cent (20/273) of rabbits were reported to have T. gondii antibodies. At the gender level, the findings showed a higher prevalence in males of 12.40% (16/129) than in females of 2.7% (4/144). The relationship between age and toxoplasmosis was found positive (r = 0.098). The observed seroprevalence of T. gondii is described as a health hazard to people who are in close contact with rabbits. Therefore, the screening of animals is suggested before their use as food and for experimental work by humans.

Cardiovascular diseases (CVDs), which significantly increase mortality, disabilities, and medical... more Cardiovascular diseases (CVDs), which significantly increase mortality, disabilities, and medical costs globally, are at risk to health due to dyslipidemia. Components of Chinese medicine that can be used to cure illness and provide healthcare include medicinal and culinary plants because of the similarity between their roles as food and medicine. Primary prevention is critical in lowering the incidence of CVDs, breakthroughs in reducing dyslipidemia can significantly reduce morbidity and mortality associated with CVDs. Sandalwood oil and its extract are traditionally used to treat different conditions which include diabetes, cancer, dyslipidemia, and cardiovascular diseases. The current research was examined to evaluate the cardio-protective effects of sandalwood powder as primary prevention in treatment of hyperlipidemia. For this purpose, sandalwood powder was initially analyzed for chemical phytochemical analysis. Furthermore, to check its hypolipidemic effects Hyperlipidemic females were selected from age 30-50 years and divided into three equal groups in which Control group were not given any doses, While the experimental group G1 and G2 were given 2g and 4g doses respectively along their regular medication. Biochemical test of patients along with physical parameters like weight and height were also observed before the initiation and after the end of trial. The results showed that wood powder contains 0.44% moisture content,15.94% ash content, 0.00% crude fat, 04.05% crude fiber, 3.625% crude protein and NFE 75.90%. Sandalwood powders also contain a certain amount of antioxidant Total phenolic content (TPC) 315.33±11.51. Total flavonoids contents (TFC) 25.39±2.87. The patient's biochemical data revealed that the experimental groups G1 and G2 had considerably (P 0.001) lower serum lipid profiles before the study ended, whereas HDL levels had increased. Besides helping people lose weight and drink more water, sandalwood powder also has anti-hyperlipidemic properties.

In connection to the forensic inquiry, identifying a person is a crucial and di cult task. However, the most frequently used methods for ensuring secure and speedy identi cation are ngerprinting and DNA testing. Other techniques, such as identi cation of age or sex, height or weight measurement, post-mortem reports, anthropometry, rugae patterns, are also occasionally used [2-4]. Since DNA testing is not frequently available in developing nations, ngerprints and

It can be used to help identify the composer of a piece of music, to determine the ownership of a copyright, or to resolve disputes over the use of musical works. Forensic musicologists may also be called upon to give expert testimony in court cases involving questions of music. Forensic musicology is a relatively new field, and there are no formal educations or training requirements for becoming a forensic musicologist. However, most forensic musicologists have advanced degrees in music theory, musicology, or a related field, and many also have experience working as professional musicians. Forensic musicologists use their knowledge of musical composition, history, and performance to answer questions raised in legal cases. Forensic musicologists typically collaborate with attorneys, judges, and other legal professionals to provide expert testimony or analysis in court cases. In some cases, they may also be asked to testify in front of a grand jury or give depositions. Forensic musicologists may also be consulted by law enforcement agencies to help identify unknown pieces of music or to authenticate recordings. This review will focus on the application of forensic musicology in civil and criminal cases.

Prunes include fiber and numerous phenolic compounds that decrease cholesterol by decreasing LDL oxidation and supporting heart health. This study examined the therapeutic effects of Prunus domestica prunes on plasma fatty acids in albino rats after ingesting prune pulp. After chemical examination, prunes were proximately examined for nutritional content. Prunus domestica pulp was given to hyperlipidemic rats for two months in a clinical trial. 12 albino rates and divide into 3 groups. First group was controlled, others experimental. The study's 15th, 30th, and 60th days evaluated lipid profile. The following study was analyzed using 2 way anova. Prunes have enough fiber, minerals, and polyphenols to affect hyperlipidemic rats. GIII rats lower LDL, weight, and HDL more than GI and GII.
