Abstract The interaction of cationic gemini and cationic conventional surfactants by conductivity was systematically overviewed, paying attention to synergism observed in micellization. These mixed systems were found to show remarkable synergism in micelle formation. The experimental critical micelle concentration values being lower than the value predicted by ideal solution theory indicate that the mixed micellization is due to attractive interaction between the two components. Gemini/conventional systems form mixed micelle due to attractive interactions (negative β values). The values of micellar mole fraction of constituent 1 ( X 1 ) in surfactant mixtures are more than in the ideal state ( X 1 ideal ), which means that, the mixed micelles are rich in conventional surfactants in comparison to that in the ideal state.

This journal article critically examines the influence of climate change on agricultural yields and proposes farmer-centric adaptation strategies through a policy-oriented agricultural analysis. The research employs a comprehensive approach, integrating climate science, agricultural economics, and policy studies to assess the multifaceted impacts of climate change on global agricultural productivity.
 The study analyzes empirical data on changing climate patterns, extreme weather events, and temperature variations, emphasizing their significant consequences for agricultural yields. By utilizing statistical models and econometric techniques, the research quantifies the extent of yield variations across diverse crops, providing a nuanced understanding of the challenges faced by farmers.
 In response to these challenges, the research proposes adaptation strategies centered on the needs and capacities of farmers. These strategies encompass the development and dissemination of climate-resilient crop varieties, the enhancement of irrigation infrastructure, and the implementation of precision agriculture techniques. Moreover, the study investigates the role of agricultural policies in promoting adaptive practices and explores potential policy frameworks to incentivize climate-smart agriculture.
 The findings highlight the importance of tailoring adaptation strategies to local contexts and engaging farmers in the decision-making process. The research underscores the need for policies that empower farmers, providing them with the knowledge, resources, and incentives to adapt to changing climatic conditions effectively.
 In conclusion, this article contributes to the discourse on climate change adaptation in agriculture by offering a policy-oriented perspective. It advocates for a holistic approach that integrates scientific insights, economic considerations, and farmer participation, aiming to enhance the resilience of agricultural systems in the face of climate change.

Preventive oral healthcare is a critical component of public health, and dentists play a central role in reducing the global burden of dental diseases and enhancing community well-being. This systematic review examines evidence from 2016 to 2025 to evaluate the impact of dentist-led preventive interventions across clinical, educational, community, and system-level domains. Findings demonstrate that preventive dental services—including fluoride varnish, sealants, and early diagnostic screenings—significantly decrease caries incidence, periodontal disease progression, and tooth loss. Dentist-delivered education and behavioral counseling were found to improve oral hygiene practices, dietary choices, and oral health literacy, contributing to sustainable long-term health behaviors. Community-based programs and outreach initiatives led by dentists increased access to preventive care, particularly among underserved populations, while interdisciplinary collaborations and innovations such as teledentistry enhanced early detection of oral and systemic conditions. Collectively, the evidence shows that dentists contribute not only to improved oral health outcomes but also to broader community well-being through enhanced quality of life, reduced healthcare costs, and strengthened public health systems. Despite progress, disparities in access and long-term outcome data remain areas requiring further attention. Strengthening preventive dentistry is essential for promoting equitable and sustainable community health

In the title compound, C(23)H(15)N(3)O(2), significant deviations from planarity are evidenced in the values of the dihedral angles formed between the amino-benzene ring and the benzene rings of the 1,3-benzodioxole [65.38 (12)°] and 1,2-dihydro-naphthalene [26.27 (14)°] residues; the dioxole ring has an envelope conformation with the methyl-ene-C being the flap atom. The amino-H atoms form hydrogen bonds to one of the dioxole-O atoms and to one of the cyano-N atoms to generate a two-dimensional array with a zigzag topology that stacks along the ([Formula: see text] 0 2) plane.
