The aim of this work was to conduct the chemical composition of essential oil (EO) of Centaurea furfuraceafrom Algerian Sahara and investigate the antioxidant, anticholinesterase, antimicrobial and antibiofilm activities of its essential oil and methanol extract. EO of C. furfuracea was analyzed by GC and GC-MS. Sixty-nine compounds identified, representing 96.94 % of the total oil. Caryophyllene oxide (12.01 %), Z-10-pentadecen-1-ol (8.11 %), farnesyl methylester (7.79 %) were identified as the main constituents. The antioxidant activity was determined using three complementary assays, in lipid peroxidation inhibition the methanol extract showed the best activity with an IC50 = 28.73 ± 0.29 µg/mL followed by EO with an IC50 = 95.95 ± 15.20 µg/mL. While in DPPH and CUPRAC assays, EO and methanol extract indicated a less to moderate activity. The in vitro anticholinesterase activity, the methanol extract showed moderate inhibitory activities against acetylcholinesterase (IC50= 164.4 ± 5.69 µg/mL) and butyrylcholinesterase (IC50 = 82.4±1.75 µg/mL), while EO was inactive against both enzymes. Minimum inhibitory concentrations (MICs) were calculated by microtitre broth dilution method, and antibiofilm effect by microplate biofilm assay. EO inhibited the growth of all tested microorganisms, MIC values were between 6.25 and 25 µL/mL concentrations, better than methanol extract. The highest antibiofilm activity have reached to 87.90 % with methanol extract of C. furfuracea against Staphylococcus aureus ATCC 6538 Pat 50 mg/mL concentration.These results showed that C. furfuracea is a natural source of active compounds with antibiotic and antibiofilm effects against S. aureusand B. subtilis, and Bacillus cereus, respectively, and also presents antioxidant and anticholinesterase properties.

In the present study, the volatile compounds of aerial parts of Salvia officinalis L. (sage) were extracted and analysed by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) using the Nist and Willey libraries. It was determined that the main components of sage were camphor (26.05%), a-thujone (17.46%), 1.8-cineole (12.11%), viridiflorol (6.95%) and ß-thujone (3.57%). Then, antimicrobial activity of essential oil of sage against Escherichia coli (ATCC 25293), Bacillus subtilis (ATCC 6633), Staphylococcus aureus (ATCC 25925), Pseudomonas aureginosa, Candida albicans and Candida parapsilosis were examined by using spectrophotometric broth microdilution method. Accordingly, the highest MIC value of S. officinalis essential oil was against S. aureus (11.7 µg/mL), while the lowest activity was P. aureginosa (109.9 µg/mL). Furthermore, MIC values ??for the other microorganisms were determined as 11.8 µg/mL for B. subtilis, 59.0 µg/mL for E. coli, 25.3 µg/mL for C. albicans and 15.4 µg/mL for C. parapsilosis. As a result, essential oil of aerial parts of S. officinalis were noted to be high antimicrobial efficiency under concentration of 110 µg/mL.

The demand for T. vulgaris L. (Thyme) and its derivates has became popular since it has many biologically active components such as mainly antimicrobial, antiinflammatory, antioxidant characteristics. Especially, there were many researches on the antimicrobial performance of T. vulgaris L. essential oil. In this study, we analyzed the content of the essential oil of T. vulgaris aerial parts by using GCMS, its antimicrobial activity to some pathogens and urease inhibition activity. The major components of the oil in thyme were thymol (48.80%), ?-terpinene (15.26%), p-cymene (10.35%), linalol (3.87%), ß-myrcene (3.20%). Then, The minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) were determined against Escherichia coli (ATCC 25293), Bacillus subtilis (ATCC 6633), Staphylococcus aureus (ATCC 25925), Pseudomonas aureginosa, Candida albicans and Candida parapsilosis by using spectrophotometric microbroth technique. We showed that microoganisms were inhibited by the essential oil extracted thyme aerial parts at the end of the 24 hours incubation. Highest inhibition were reported against S. aureus (MIC=7.5 µg/mL), while lowest inhibition were found to be C. albicans (MIC=105.3 µg/mL). Also, the antiurease activities were tested against urease enzymes such as thiourea, spectrophotometrically. The essential oil (27.40±0.46%) of thyme showed higher urease inhibition activity than thiourea (23.08±0.19%). Consequently, it clearly suggested that the essential oil from T. vulgaris aerial parts are a potential source of antimicrobial and urease inhibitory ingredients for the drug and food industry.

Study from different countries has extolled the magnitude and benefits of information communication technology (ICT) and proven how it has facilitated basic communication to mankind at large. Due to communication technological advancement, family can talk to family through text, voice or video at once despite the distance geographically. Business is easier to transact now due to technology as money can be exchanged without face to face interaction and without physically visiting the bank for over the counter transactions. However, this technology has tended to box in the way people think to the extent of determining how people function. This has got the detrimental effect of homogenizing people into creatures of habit. The research explores the levels of appreciation by citizens of Lesotho the magnitude of the politics behind this information communication technology. The research will be conducted using qualitative research methods of in depth interviews with randomly selected information communication technology users both in the streets, in industry and academia to realize the magnitude to which society in Lesotho has become creatures of habit due to technology use, whose habits they are conforming to due to their interaction with information communication technology.

Pharmaceuticals and personal care products (PPCPs) are the problem of our age and hospital wastewaters are one of the main sources of PPCPs having a concentration range of ng L-1 to µg L-1 Hospital wastewaters are almost untreated before being discharged into municipal/urban wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) via wastewater networks in Turkey. These WWTPs are not designed to remove complex compounds such as PPCPs, however, a sizeable amount is released into the environment. Some of the PPCPs present a considerable threat for aquatic organisms even at very low concentrations. This study presents the biological treatability of a synthetic musk namely musk tonalide (AHMT) from a raw hospital wastewater under different sludge retention times (SRTs). The treatability of this PPCP was investigated using an anaerobic UASB/aerobic CSTR sequential biological reactor system in laboratory conditions for the first time in Turkey. Effect of different sludge retention times (5; 30; 45 and 55 days) on the removal of AHMT was researched at mesophilic temperature conditions for the biological reactors. COD, SCOD and AHMT yields were determined. Methane gas (CH4) productions and VFA concentrations were also monitored in anaerobic UASB reactor. pH changes, dissolved oxygen (DO) variations and redox potentials (ORPs) were monitored in anaerobic UASB and aerobic CSTR reactors. As a result of the study, increasing of the SRT has a positive effect on COD (94.1%) and SCOD (91.1%) yields at 55 days of SRT in the biological reactor system.
