The study was designed to evaluate the antibacterial potential of three plants which are Andrographis paniculata, Durio zibethinus and Psidium guajava. Andrographis paniculata leaves (30mg/ml) and roots (30 mg/ml), Durio zibethinus wood bark (10mg/ml), and Psidium guajava leaves (15mg/ml) extract was obtained through the process called maceration, filtration, evaporation and the paste form was freshly reconstitute in dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) and tested against Staphylococcus aureus for Andrographis paniculata, Psidium guajava. Streptococcus agalactiae for Durio zibethinus and Psidium guajava and Escherichia coli for Durio zibethinus using Kirby Baur technique and the plates were incubated at 37 ºC. The zone of inhibition was measured after 24 hours and recorded in millimeters. The combination study was conducted using extract in combination with Penicillin G (6.25 µg/ ml) and erythromycin (15 µg/ ml; Andrographis paniculata) with the propotion of 1:1 in homogenous condition and incubated at 37 ºC for 24 hours. The zone of inhibition was measured and recorded. Mean and standard deviation was calculated. Andrographis paniculata do possesses some antibacterial activity against Staphylococcus aureus. Leaves (17.33 mm), roots (10.67 mm), erythromycin (24.00 mm), leaves and erythromycin (20.67 mm), roots and erythromycin (21.67 mm), leaves and roots (17.33 mm). Wood bark against Streptococcus agalactiae (14.67 mm), Penicillin G (14.00 mm), and combination (16.67 mm). Durio zibethinus showed antibacterial activity against Escherichia coli (11.00mm) and Penicillin G (13.33 mm). Psidium guajava leaves extract were having slightly higher activity than Penicillin G and in combination activity, leaves were having a slightly higher activity than Penicillin G.

Raffias’ species are used in handcrafts, constructions, food processing etc. But in Benin, any quantitative ethnobotanical study was not evaluated for their use and socioeconomic impact of uses on average income. This study investigated the importance of use of raffias’ species and the impact of socioeconomic characteristics of informants on the household income. Ethnobotany quantitative approach was used and data on use, products prices and the quantity sold were collected using a semi-structured questionnaire administered during an interview. The result showed that raffias’ species in Benin are used principally for craft (CI = 1.41 for R. hookeri and 1.68 for R. sudanica), but R. hookeri was most important for people in Guinean zone than those in soudanian and soudano-guinean zones. The frequently uses were the beds, mats, baskets and roofs. The most part of the plant used is the rachis for both species and the less used is the nut. Education level, gender and main activities were socioeconomic variable which influenced the annual income from exploitation of raffias species. The uneducated, men and farmers took more income from raffias’ species than others. Also, the development level of areas where the species are found, influence the income from their exploitations. To evaluate better the contribution of raffias’ species to regional and national gross product, it will be necessary to study the value chain of the main products, but also take into account the informant categories defined in this study regarding operators.

Waste management in portugal
- 2. Plano Estratégico para os Resíduos Urbanos (PERSU) – Strategic paln for urban waste Plano Estratégico para resíduos hospitalares (PERH) – Strategic plan for hospital waste Plano Estratégico de Gestão dos Resíduos Industriais (PEGRI) – Strategic Plan for Industrial Waste Management
- 3. Till the end of the 90s – only deposit in Landfills (more or less 300 – one per Municipality. Then comes PERSU The old Landfills were closed and new infrastructures were built. Instead of one Landfill per Municipality, this structures began to be used by several Municipalities (beginning of intercity organization)
- 4. Private companies are created and make protocols with the Cities. Instead of the 257 waste management companies we now have only 23.
- 5. Trash separation bins that exist at the public places are responsibility of this management companies but the waste management itself is responsibility of Sociedade Ponto Verde (Green Dot Society) Specific waste like batteries have protocols with the intermunicipaly companies and other waste management companies
- 6. 90% of the glass is separated 78% of plastic and paper 74% of newspapers and magazins Less separated 32% deodorant packages and can of pre-cooked meals Crises seems not to affect families separation, but the comsumption has been reduced because of crises, so therefore is less waste 69% of portuguese homes separates
- 7. FROM 1996 TILL 2014 RECYCLING HAS INCREASED 100% Collecting Selective Collecting Non Selective Collecting Separation waste center Composting Landfill Incineration RecyclingMaterials Organic Valorization Energy recovery Reject Landfill Incineration
