“…Moreover, the studies on Rhamnus , Brassica oleracia , Phaseolus vulgaris , Mangifera persiciforma have reported that the appropriate dosage of SSB exhibited a very good positive response on plant growth. In addition to that, roots, tubers, cereals, and fibers have also shown very good responses to the addition of SSB in subtropical, tropical, and temperate regions (Velli et al., 2021). SSB improves the Mn and Zn levels in grains, whereas Ni and Fe have accumulated in plants' shoots.…”

The generation of sewage wastewater is unavoidable due to the continual increase in the global population that paves the way to appropriate disposal management. Sewage wastewater treatment and consequent generation of sewage sludge (SS) are well connected with global environmental issues. Upon risk assessment on different SS disposal methods, converting SS into biochar, that is, sewage sludge biochar, can be recommendable management. It is well‐proven for excellent positive impacts, such as nutrient enhancement, and healthier plant growth, and mitigates the emissions of greenhouse gases while amending with agricultural soil. However, the outcome features of SSB significantly vary with pyrolysis temperature and its elemental constituents. In addition, many studies revealed that the process temperature is key to responsible for the desirable properties and functioning of SSB. In this context, many countries support to the development of a futuristic strategy for SS management toward producing SSB and its utilization in agriculture. This review compiles studies into SSB's ability to promote a sustainable effect on the total worldwide output volume. Furthermore, the generation of SSB is also analyzed from a socioeconomic standpoint in relation to other common SS disposal management strategies.

“…Brain insulin resistance can be defined as a failure of brain cells to respond to insulin (Arnold et al, 2018). Memory and learning are impaired in animal models of insulin resistance (Park et al, 2013;Grünblatt et al, 2015;Pratchayasakul et al, 2015), but some studies indicate that intracerebral administration of insulin is able to restore cognitive function (Haj-ali et al, 2009). These studies indicate that insulin transport from the blood into the brain is crucial for cognition through neuronal signaling.…”

Sleep has a major role in learning, memory consolidation, and metabolic function. Although it is known that sleep restriction increases the accumulation of amyloid β peptide (Aβ) and the risk to develop Alzheimer’s disease (AD), the mechanism behind these effects remains unknown. In this review, we discuss how chronic sleep restriction induces metabolic and cognitive impairments that could result in the development of AD in late life. Here, we integrate evidence regarding mechanisms whereby metabolic signaling becomes disturbed after short or chronic sleep restriction in the context of cognitive impairment, particularly in the accumulation of Aβ in the brain. We also discuss the role of the blood-brain barrier in sleep restriction with an emphasis on the transport of metabolic signals into the brain and Aβ clearance. This review presents the unexplored possibility that the alteration of peripheral metabolic signals induced by sleep restriction, especially insulin resistance, is responsible for cognitive deficit and, subsequently, implicated in AD development.

The current study was performed to determine the effect of sludge resulting from biocoagulation-flocculation process on okra (Abelmoschus esculentus L.) growth. The effectiveness of the resultant sludge collected after coagulation-flocculation of aquaculture effluent using biocoagulant-flocculant was compared with garden soil (nutrient rich medium) and also with sand (nutrient deficiency medium). The growth of plants in terms of physical observation and also the agronomic parameters (the number of leaves and the height of plants) was monitored for 8 weeks. At the end of the exposure period, there is no significant difference in terms of the number of leaves and also the height of plants between plants in garden soil and plants in pots with the resultant sludge. In contrast, the agronomic parameters for plants in pot with sludge were significantly higher than plants in pot with sand only. As for the relative growth rate (RGR) of plants, plants in pots with sludge were the highest (3.84 g/week) compared to garden soil (3.52 g/week) and sand only (0.25 g/week). It can be concluded that sludge generated from the coagulation-flocculation process of aquaculture effluent using natural resources as coagulant-flocculant agent has given positive impact on the growth of okra plants and is potentially utilized as biofertilizer for plants.
