Objective: This study aims to assess the knowledge, attitude, and practices regarding menstrual cups use and the factors associated with it among females of the reproductive age group in an urban setting of South Kerala.
Materials And Methods: We conducted a cross-sectional study from December 2021 to January 2022 among females of the reproductive age group. Data was entered in MS Excel and was analyzed using Statistical Package for Social Sciences version 26.
Nanotechnology has emerged as a promising method for wastewater recycling. In this line, the current study emphasizes the leaf-extract-mediated biosynthesis of bismuth oxide nanostructures (BiONPs) using three different plants, namely (Creeping Coldenia), (Lemon), and (Curry) through a greener approach and evaluates their biological properties as well as photocatalytic performance for the first time. As-synthesized BiONPs were physiochemically characterized using UV-visible spectroscopy, Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and high-resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM) with energy dispersive X-ray analysis (EDAX).

- People in tropical and subtropical areas are at risk for mosquito-borne infections, making vector control crucial.
- The study explores the creation of magnesium oxide (MgO) nanoparticles using four methods (green, microwave, sol-gel, hydrothermal) and characterizes them through various techniques like FT-IR, XRD, HRSEM, and EDAX.
- The results show that hydrothermally synthesized MgO nanoparticles have strong antibacterial effects, particularly at a concentration of 50 mg/mL, and demonstrate potential effectiveness in controlling mosquito larvae.
Accessibility of adequate safe and fresh water for human consumption is one of the most significant issues throughout the world and extensive research is being undertaken to resolve it. Nanotechnology is now an outstanding medium for water treatment and remediation from microorganisms and organic dyes, as compared to conventional treatment methods. For this task graphitic carbon nitride (g-CN) is a potential nanomaterial for environmental remediation, but its photogenerated charge carrier recombination rate restricts its use in practical applications.
