Protected Viticulture for Sustainable Grape Production to Cope with the Adverse Effects of Climate Change
Grapes (Vitis vinifera L.) are among the most commonly cultivated horticultural crops on the earth covering an area of 7.5
million hectares with around 70 million tons production. Grapes being highly nutritious are majorly utilized in making beverages or used as fresh and raisin. In today’s world, the most concerned topic in agriculture is continuous change in climatic
conditions leading to several negative social, ecological, economical and biological problems. Grapes are delicate fruits, their
vines are sensitive towards extremes in temperature, water, heat, duration and intensity of light exposure as well as carbon
dioxide and humidity alterations. Hence, one can shift to drought and heat tolerant varieties and certain training and pruning methods suitable to the prevailing environmental conditions. Vineyard management practices, including farm mechanization can be amended for improving the gains, while reducing the input

A Review of the Effects of Intensive Poultry Production on the Environment and Human Health
Poultry farming is widely recognized as a highly efficient technique of animal husbandry, contributing significantly to the
nutritional security of a substantial portion of the global population. The application of contemporary intensive farming
methods has facilitated a notable increase in global production, which has reached a substantial quantity of 137.8 million
tons in the year 2021. This upward trajectory has been consistently observed over successive years. However, these aggressive growth tactics result in a substantial environmental impact. The appropriate management of waste items, such as poultry litter and manure, is crucial due to their potential to significantly impact both environmental and human health. The
emissions of ammonia, nitrous oxide, and methane are associated with poultry production and the disposal of its waste by-products. These emissions have significant implications for global greenhouse gas emissions, as well as the well-being of
both animals and humans

The Challenge of Rapid Data Collection and Health Promotion: A Quick and Easy Approach
Rapid data collection can provide an insight into causation, the socio-cultural reality, and complex social processes. This is
especially important in disease outbreaks when information is quickly required on local needs that is essential for success.
Quantitative data alone are not sufficient to provide an in-depth understanding. The challenge is to use a rapid data collection
approach that can provide practical solutions by integrating the available evidence, professional expertise, and stakeholder
experiences. This viewpoint reflects the opinions of the author that highlight the strengths and weaknesses of rapid
data collection and the presentation of an approach that can be implemented with minimal interference in a health promotion
and healthcare program context

Advanced Oxidation Plasma Air Purification to Mitigate Hospital and Restroom Odor Issues
Background: The smell in a hospital is an amalgam of smells, emanating from varied sources. But primarily the smell is from the strong cleaning agents used in corridors, including phenyl and bleaching powder, etc. Chemicals that trigger odors may cause health effects. A strong urine odor is also responsible for foul smells in hospitals and other public facilities. Strong odors may cause some people to feel a burning sensation, leading to coughing, wheezing, or other breathing problems.
Recent Developments in Human Odor Detection Technologies
Human odor detection technologies have drawn attention due to the wide possibility of potential applications they open up in areas such as biometrics, criminal investigation and forensics, search for survivors under rubble, and security checkpoint screening. Gas chromatography/mass spectrometry (GC/MS) has been the most successful and powerful analytical approach developed to date for human odor analysis, and hundreds of human odorants have been identified using this tool.
