There are many risk factors that, when present, can lead to increased chances of neonatal hyperbilirubinemia. It is essential to identify these risk factors that are involved in the increased incidence of neonatal hyperbilirubinemia because its incidence can be decreased by modifying them.

Heavy metals are an important class of pollutants with both lethal and sublethal effects on organisms. Wetlands are cheap natural alternatives for removal of heavy metals from soils; however, wetland plants vary greatly in their degree of metal uptake. Hokersar wetland, a Ramsar site of Kashmir Himalaya, India is a game reserve of international importance that provides suitable habitat for resident birds and an excellent stopover point for migratory birds visiting from Palaearctic breeding grounds in Central Asia, China, N-Europe and Siberia.

Article Synopsis
  • A model was created to authenticate Yemeni Sidr honey using UV spectroscopy combined with chemometric methods such as hierarchical cluster analysis (HCA), principal component analysis (PCA), and soft independent modeling of class analogy (SIMCA).
  • The model was developed with 13 genuine Sidr honey samples and tested against 25 honey samples from various sources, successfully distinguishing authentic Sidr from lower-cost alternatives.
  • The SIMCA method accurately identified genuine Sidr honey and detected mixtures with cheaper honeys at levels greater than 10%, offering a simple and effective approach that could be applied to authenticate other honey types globally.
