Aromatic Plants and Their Role in Metal Oxide Nanoparticle Synthesis, Characterisation and Applications
(Springer, Singapore, 2026) Mohd Arsh Khan, Neda Tabassum, Abdul Rahman Khan, Fakhra Jabeen, Qazi Inamur Rahman
The rapid advancement of nanotechnology has sparked growing interest in sustainable, green approach for fabrication of nanoparticles (NPs). Aromatic plants, which are rich in phytochemicals such as flavonoids, terpenoids, phenolics and alkaloids, offer an eco-friendly and cost-effective alternative to conventional chemical methods. This chapter highlights the significant role of aromatic plant extracts in the biosynthesis of metal oxide nanoparticles (MONPs), emphasising functions of phytochemical as reducing and stabilising agent and how various phys- icochemical parameters influence NP growth. Moreover, the chapter also explores the use of different analytical techniques such as UV-Vis spectroscopy, Fourier- transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), X-ray diffraction (XRD) and zeta potential to characterise the properties of synthesised NPs. In addition, the application of biosynthesised MONPs in catalysis, agriculture, environmental remediation and biomedicine has been overviewed, demonstrating their multifunctional potential.

Equal inclusion of Indigenous Women in Biodiversity Conservation Efforts in India: A Critique
(Book Rivers, 2023) Nidhi Singh Arora
Even though there is a gap between the rights guaranteed by the law and how they are exercised for all women. For indigenous women the gap is even wider due to the numerous forms of discrimination based on their gender, ethnicity, and socio-economic situation, as well as from within their own communities and from outside rural and urban areas. The loss of traditional occupations, coupled with climate change and the resulting deforestation makes it more difficult for indigenous women to exercise their rights. Therefore, it is crucial to make sure that indigenous women are included, recognized legally, and actively involved in land ownership and governance at all levels. In general, the term "biodiversity" refers to the diversity of life on Earth. Indigenous Peoples are acknowledged as being crucial to achieving the goals of the 1992 Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD). Numerous threats to our biodiversity are coming from a variety of sources. However, environmental deterioration significantly impacts girls' and women's health and quality of life. For a policy on the conservation of natural resources to be successful, women must be included in all programs and policies. The study focuses on how indigenous women can help safeguard the environment.
Violence against women: International Perspective
(Book Rivers, 2023) Huma Khan
to In recent decades, all forms of violence against women have become increasingly recognized. It is also regarded as a serious problem, both nationally and internationally, that needs be addressed immediately. Around the world, archaic attitudes towards women are fueling violence, which is ignored or tolerated as it occurs within the family and between close relatives. Many countries have laws against violence against women, most commonly domestic violence. For example, the Indian Penal Code lists penalties for crimes against women. Some countries have specific laws on domestic violence, while others are enacting new or amending existing laws to include crimes against women. But these laws and regulations alone are often not enough to end the world's problem of violence.
