- Understanding ecosystem services is crucial for the well-being of both current and future generations, particularly in Anxi town, Fujian, known for its diverse ecosystems but experiencing a decline in their value over the past two decades.
- The study analyzed the changes in the value of these services across 24 townships during three time periods (1999, 2009, and 2019), revealing a greater annual decline from 1999-2009, especially in specific townships.
- Key findings indicate that urbanization and road proximity negatively affected ecosystem service values, while altitude positively impacted them; the study suggests focusing on water and soil conservation for tea farmers to protect these vital services.

- Muesli and cereal for breakfast are good because they have fiber, which helps control blood sugar levels.
- The study involved healthy and diabetic women eating muesli after fasting, and their blood sugar was checked before and after the meal.
- Results showed that muesli caused a slow rise in blood sugar for both healthy and diabetic women, making it beneficial for managing blood sugar after meals.
Background: Nanocarriers for antibacterial drugs became hopeful tools against the increasing resistance of bacteria to antibiotics. This work focuses on a comprehensive study of the applicability and therapeutic suitability of dermal carbopol-based hydrogels containing chloramphenicol carried by various nanoparticles (AuNPs and SiNPs).
Methods: The different forms of carbopol-based drugs for dermal use were obtained.
The O-specific polysaccharide (OPS) was isolated from the lipopolysaccharide of Pseudomonas sp. Strain L1, the endophytic bacteria of Lolium perenne (ryegrass) plants growing in soil in an industrial area in the Silesia region (Zabrze, Southern Poland). The high-molecular-weight O-PS fraction liberated from Pseudomonas sp.
