Milestones in Archaeology
Authors: Murray Tim
Published: March 2024

This engaging work uses key discoveries, events, people, techniques, and controversies to give the general reader a rich history of archaeology from its beginnings in the 16th century to the present.

The history of archaeology leads from the musty collections of dilettante antiquarians to high-tech science. The book identifies three major developmental periods—Birth of Archaeology (16th–18th centuries), Archaeology of Origins and Empires (19th century), and World Archaeology (20th century). An introductory essay acquaints the reader with the essence of the science for each period. The short entries comprising the balance of the book expand on the themes introduced in the essays.

Organized around personalities, techniques, controversies, and conflicts, the encyclopedia brings to life the history of archaeology. It broadens the general reader's knowledge by detailing the professional significance of widely known discoveries while introducing to wider knowledge obscure but important moments in archaeology. Archaeology is replete with the visionaries and swashbucklers of popular myth; it is also filled with careful and dedicated scientists.

European Churches and Chinese Temples as Neuro-Theatrical Sites
Authors: Pizzato Mark , Freeman Margaret H. , Lilja Eva , Pizzato Mark , Bermúdez Victor , Hacioglu Yasemin
Published: March 2024

Compares monumental designs and performance spaces of Christian, Buddhist, and related sanctuaries, exploring how brain networks, animal-human emotions, and cultural ideals are reflected historically and affected today as “inner theatre” elements.

Integrating research across the humanities and sciences, this book explores how traditional designs of outer theatrical spaces left cultural imprints for the inner staging of Self and Other consciousness, which each of us performs daily based on how we think others view us. But believers also perform in a cosmic theatre. Ancestral spirits and gods (or God) watch and interact with them in awe-inspiring spaces, grooming affects toward in-group identification and sacrifice, or out-group rivalry and scapegoating.

In a study of over 80 buildings – shown by 40 images in the book, plus thousands of photos and videos online – Pizzato demonstrates how they reflect meta-theatrical projections from prior generations. They also affect the embodied, embedded, enacted, and extended (4E) cognition of current visitors, who bring performance frameworks of belief, hope, and doubt to the sacred site. This involves neuro-social, inner/outer theatre networks with patriarchal, maternal, and trickster paradigms.

European Churches and Chinese Temples as Neuro-Theatrical Sites investigates performative material cultures, creating dialogs between theatre, philosophy, history, and various (cognitive, affective, social, biological) sciences. It applies them to the architecture of religious buildings: from Catholic, Orthodox, and Protestant in Europe, plus key sites in Jerusalem and prior “pagan” temples, to Buddhist, Daoist, Confucian, and imperial in China. It thus reveals individualist/collectivist, focal/holistic, analytical/dialectical, and melodramatic/tragicomic trajectories, with cathartic poetics for the future.

Brain Spirits: European Churches and Chinese Temples as Theatrical Sites compares the monumental spaces of Christian, Buddhist, and Daoist sanctuaries, exploring how brain networks, animal-human drives, mimetic emotions, and cultural (patriarchal, maternal, or trickster) ideals are reflected historically and affected in visitors today as “inner theatre” elements. This book will increase the reader’s awareness of how each person’s choices within a religious building (or in other performance situations)—observing, engaging with, or questioning artworks, services, and ideologies—may alter or perpetuate melodramatic temptations of religious and political traditions: inter-group conflict, scapegoating, and self-sacrifice. Lessons from this cross-cultural, cognitive neuro-performance auto-ethnography apply to the communally binding, yet dangerous brain spirits evoked by today’s secular, mass, and social media as well.

Formulary Management of Sodium-Glucose Cotransporter-2 Inhibitors and Glucagon-Like Peptide-1 Receptor Agonists
Authors: Trinh Daniel , McDonald Matthew
Published: March 2024

Health Canada has approved 4 sodium-glucose cotransporter-2 (SGLT2) inhibitors (ertugliflozin, dapagliflozin, canagliflozin, and empagliflozin) and 5 glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor agonists (semaglutide, liraglutide, dulaglutide, lixisenatide, and exenatide), with 5 fixed-dose combination products (SGLT2 inhibitors: dapagliflozin-metformin, canagliflozin-metformin, and empagliflozin-metformin; GLP-1 receptor agonists: liraglutide–insulin degludec and lixisenatide–insulin glargine).

Data protection has ended for all SGLT2 inhibitors in Canada as well as their fixed-dose combinations. Eleven dapagliflozin generics are currently available, and there are several canagliflozin and empagliflozin generics under review at Health Canada. Patent protection has not expired for GLP-1 receptor agonists.

There is heterogeneity in public drug program reimbursement criteria for each SGLT2 inhibitor and GLP-1 receptor agonist ranging from restricted to unrestricted benefit.

This Environmental Scan highlights that as SGLT2 inhibitors and GLP-1 receptor agonists have matured, additional indications (heart failure, chronic kidney disease, weight management) have been added to their initial Health Canada–approved indication (type 2 diabetes mellitus). SGLT2 inhibitors are beginning to lose their exclusivity status and are experiencing generic competition.
Nemi liki: dramatičarke, ženska pisava in reprezentacija žensk(osti) v slovenskem dramskem eksperimentu (1966–1986)
Authors: Leskovšek Nika
Published: March 2024

The paper begins by analysing the ideas, themes and motifs of the theatre texts from the anthology The Generator:: for Manufacturing Any Number of Drama Complexes (Slovenian Experimental Dramatic and Performative Texts from the Modernist Period (1966–1986)). It aims to shed light on the anthology’s selected texts through the female perspective, or rather, its absence. It deals with the consequences that the absence of awareness about the lack of a female perspective in Slovenian drama can have on the representation of women and woman(liness). The paper explores such representations in Slovenian (experimental) drama and raises awareness about the possible effects of patriarchal ideology and its consequences by analysing the plays’ ideas, themes and motifs. In doing so, it pays special attention to the difference between men’s and (rare) women’s playwriting. The texts from The Generator are taken merely as a case study to indicate the presence of particular symptoms in Slovenian (experimental) drama within the anthology’s given period. The paper briefly highlights the differences in the representation of woman(liness) from a broader developmental perspective, from a temporal distance, in the form of a comparative analysis of contemporary women’s playwriting, specifically, Simona Hamer’s 2010 play Nemi lik (The Silent Character).
Meteorological, snow and soil data, CO2, water and energy fluxes from a low-Arctic valley of Northern Quebec

Published: March 2024

Abstract. As the vegetation in the Arctic changes, tundra ecosystems along the southern border of the Arctic are becoming greener and gradually giving way to boreal ecosystems. This change is affecting local populations, wildlife, energy exchange processes between environmental compartments, and the carbon cycle. To understand the progression and the implications of this change in vegetation, satellite measurements and surface models can be employed. However, in situ observational data are required to validate these measurements and models. This paper presents observational data from two nearby sites in the forest–tundra ecotone in the Tasiapik Valley near Umiujaq in Northern Quebec, Canada. One site is on a mixture of lichen and shrub tundra. The associated data set comprises 9 years of meteorological, soil and snow data as well as 3 years of eddy covariance data. The other site, 850 m away, features vegetation consisting mostly of tall shrubs and black spruce. For that location, 6 years of meteorological, soil and snow data are available. In addition to the data from the automated stations, profiles of snow density and specific surface area were collected during field campaigns. The data are available at https://doi.org/10.1594/PANGAEA.964743 (Domine et al., 2024).

Abstract. Central Asia is highly exposed to a broad range of hazardous phenomena including earthquakes, floods and landslides, which have cause substantial damage in the past. However, disaster risk reduction strategies are still under development in the area. We provide a regional-scale exposure database for population and residential buildings based on existing information from previous exposure development efforts at the regional and national scale. Such datasets are complemented with country-based data (e.g., building census, national statistics) collected by national representatives in each Central Asian country (Kazakhstan, the Kyrgyz Republic, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan, Uzbekistan). We also develop population and residential-building exposure layers for the year 2080, which support the definition of disaster risk reduction strategies in the region.
Automated Avalanche Terrain Exposure Scale (ATES) mapping – local validation and optimization in western Canada
Authors: Sykes John , Toft Håvard , Haegeli Pascal , Statham Grant
Published: March 2024

Abstract. The Avalanche Terrain Exposure Scale (ATES) is a system for classifying mountainous terrain based on the degree of exposure to avalanche hazard. The intent of ATES is to improve backcountry recreationist's ability to make informed risk management decisions by simplifying their terrain analysis. Access to ATES has been largely limited to manually generated maps in high-use areas due to the cost and time to generate ATES maps. Automated ATES (AutoATES) is a chain of geospatial models which provides a path towards developing ATES maps on large spatial scales for relatively minimal cost compared to manual maps. This research validates and localizes AutoATES using two ATES benchmark maps which are based on independent ATES maps from three field experts. We compare the performance of AutoATES in two study areas with unique snow climate and terrain characteristics: Connaught Creek in Glacier National Park, British Columbia, Canada, and Bow Summit in Banff National Park, Alberta, Canada. Our results show that AutoATES aligns with the ATES benchmark maps in 74.5 % of the Connaught Creek study area and 84.4 % of the Bow Summit study area. This is comparable to independently developed manual ATES maps which on average align with the ATES benchmark maps in 76.1 % of Connaught Creek and 84.8 % of Bow Summit. We also compare a variety of DEM types (lidar, stereo photogrammetry, Canadian National Topographic Database) and resolutions (5–26 m) in Connaught Creek to investigate how input data type affects AutoATES performance. Overall, we find that DEM resolution and type are not strong indicators of accuracy for AutoATES, with a map accuracy of 74.5 % ± 1 % for all DEMs. This research demonstrates the efficacy of AutoATES compared to expert manual ATES mapping methods and provides a platform for large-scale development of ATES maps to assist backcountry recreationists in making more informed avalanche risk management decisions.
LAW ENFORCEMENT OFFICERS’ SOCIAL AND HUMANITARIAN SUPPORT IN THE PERIOD OF THEIR PROFESSIONAL AND PERSONAL DEVELOPMENT
Authors:   East Siberian Institute of the Ministry of the Interior of Russia, Nezhkina Larisa Yu.
Published: March 2024

The paper is devoted to the idea of law enforcement officers’ social and humanitarian support during their professional and personal development. The professional development of an officer's personality begins in the period of his/her training in an educational organization of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia and is an important part of life because during this period he/she gains the necessary professional knowledge, skills and abilities which will practically influence the result of his/her activities. It is important to note that during that period significant business and personal qualities are formed as well as moral guidelines that show the person’s attitude to work and people, and therefore, it is important to pay special attention to the formation of business, personal and moral qualities during the officer’s professional and personal development. In this regard, the idea of social and humanitarian support for officers is proposed. An officer’s social and humanitarian support during the training period is understood as creating conditions for the development of a conscious understanding of the profession and his/her role in it, formation of the best human qualities, motivation for self-education and self-study. Such conditions imply a dialogue interaction between the teacher and the student, psychological and pedagogical assistance and support. The author outlines the main essence of social and humanitarian support and possible ways of its implementation. At the end of the paper, the importance of the implementation of social and humanitarian support in the period of officers’ professional and personal development is emphasized. The practical significance lies in the fact that the implementation of officers’ social and humanitarian support during the training period in an educational organization of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia will make it possible to qualitatively change the educational environment, create conditions for the development of spiritual and moral maturity, the existential orientation of the individual to self-actualization, professional and personal development.

Published: March 2024

The article proposes a method for increasing the capacity of an aerodrome and reducing the average delay of arriving / departing aircraft by optimizing the queue of them, taking into account the specified minimum allowable time intervals between aircraft, depending on their weight categories of movement stages (take-off landing). An analysis of the effectiveness of this method was carried out, for the evaluation of which a stream of events (departures and arrivals) with a Poisson distribution was used. The dependences of the average delays of departures and arrivals on the flow intensity of departures and arrivals are estimated as well as the potential for increasing the aerodrome capacity by this method. The effectiveness of the departure control system was compared in terms of absolute priority for arriving aircraft and in terms of the equal priority for arriving and departing aircraft. It is shown that an integrated arrival/departure manager with the equal priority for departing and arriving aircraft is more efficient than with absolute priority for arriving aircraft.

The article is devoted to the sociolinguistic study of the High German island dialects existing on the territory of the Krasnoyarsk region, the patterns of their functioning in a foreign language environment in isolation from the main ethnic array. The relevance and significance of the problem of studying the linguistic phenomena under consideration on the material of island dialects is also due to the rapidly changing conditions of existence of «language islands» in Russia, including in the Krasnoyarsk region, leading to their loss, the need to preserve the linguistic and cultural heritage of Russian Germans. The research is based on the method of interviewing informants. The method of quantitative calculations was used to determine the degree of dialect use among informants in different age groups. It was found that the degree of dialect use varies significantly by age categories, good preservation of the language is observed among informants of the older age group and low dialect competence in the middle age group. The results of the study clarify the existing modern concept about the current state of the language system island's dialects of the Krasnoyarsk region, the description of which is important for further study of language interaction theory's.

MODIFIED METHODOLOGY FOR CONFIRMING ADS-B DATA WITH CORRECTION OF TEMPERATURE VALUES WHEN ESTIMATING THE FLIGHT ALTITUDE
Authors:   The State Scientific Research Institute  of Civil Aviation (GosNII GA), Kalintsev Andrey S.
Published: March 2024

The International Civil Aviation Organization indicates the need to confirm the ADS-B data. The ADS-B messages include information about the horizontal and vertical location. Information about the altitude of an aircraft in civil aviation is of great importance. The article proposes a modified methodology for confirming ADS-B data when performing flights on local airlines, which allows us to estimate and compare the geometric and barometric altitude of aircraft flight transmitted in a standard ADS-B message. The proposed modification of the method consists is correcting the temperature values, using the full barometric Laplace formula, taking into account the ADS-B quality parameters. In a level flight, with no ground velocity vector data, temperature is corrected using the airspeeds (TAS, IAS) transmitted in the ADS-B message. The method uses a maximum permissible error of 90 m. It is also proposed to determine the air temperature according to geometric and barometric altitude data transmitted in the standard ADS-B message. The determination of air temperature at altitudes involves the use of the ADS-B data from the aircraft that completed take-off. To determine the temperature according to the data of the aircraft completed landing, statistics of data from several aircraft is needed.

Mujeres en el encuadre: la construcción de fetiches profanos y la atracción de los públicos
Authors: Flores Silvana
Published: March 2024

El objetivo de este artículo es estudiar un ciclo de films mexicanos que acusan una fórmula narrativa basada en la confección de cuadros de desnudos femeninos: La fuerza del deseo (Miguel M. Delgado, 1955), El seductor (Chano Urueta, 1955), La ilegítima (Chano Urueta, 1956) y La Diana cazadora (Tito Davison, 1957). Estos aprovecharon el aligeramiento de los códigos de la censura, y representaron al cuerpo femenino como fetiche profano e instrumento de atracción del público. Realizaremos un análisis narrativo y de la puesta en escena de dichos films, focalizando en las secuencias específicas en las que sus personajes participan de la confección de los cuadros. Los pondremos en confrontación con sus referencias en otras cinematografías y con sus implicancias estético-narrativas en el enfoque industrialista, destacando las propuestas publicitarias que emplearon para su instalación en el mercado nacional e internacional.
Claude Lefort sobre Merleau-Ponty: percepción y política
Authors: Paredes Goicochea Diego
Published: March 2024

Este artículo propone una interpretación de la lectura que Claude Lefort realiza de la obra de Merleau-Ponty, centrándose en su comprensión de los desplazamientos del autor tanto en sus estudios sobre la percepción como en sus escritos políticos. Se explora, primero, la reflexión de Lefort sobre el pasaje de la fenomenología de la percepción al esbozo de una nueva ontología en el itinerario filosófico de Merleau-Ponty, para luego examinar su lectura crítica de la variación de la posición del autor respecto al marxismo. Finalmente, se indaga cómo comprende Lefort la conexión entre ambas trayectorias, buscando esclarecer el sentido de la interrogación filosófica en su interpretación de estos desplazamientos.
El discurso político sobre los objetivos de desarrollo sostenible en relación con las migraciones en la prensa española
Authors: Prieto-Andrés Antonio , Fernández Romero Cayetano , Corral Alfonso
Published: March 2024

Este artículo analiza, desde la metodología del análisis de contenido cuantitativo, más de 400 piezas de ocho diarios españoles que tratan el asunto de los Objetivos de Desarrollo Sostenible (ODS) y las migraciones. El objetivo principal es determinar cuáles son los discursos de los partidos políticos en torno a estas cuestiones, fijándonos en variables como las categorías temáticas, los ODS más frecuentemente citados y los encuadres, que tanto los diarios como los partidos políticos españoles emplean para referirse a estos dos fenómenos globales interrelacionados. La conclusión general es que hay cierta superficialidad en la vinculación de ambos fenómenos, siendo con frecuencia el asunto migratorio accesorio al de los ODS. Además, los partidos políticos, que suponen un tercio de las fuentes principales de los medios en su conjunto, tienen intereses diferentes que los del conjunto de los actores sociales, con escasos matices entre ellos.

The infusion of meadowsweet increases the level of protein metabolism, contributes to the weight gain of broiler chickens, thereby increasing the creatinine index. The albumin index increases in accordance with the increase in the total protein index, since it is an integral part of it. It has a sugar-lowering effect, reducing the glucose levels, and also lowers cholesterol. The result obtained allows us to recommend the infusion of meadowsweet with hyperglycemia and hypercholesterolemia.
Practice of Steam Inhalation at Home - A Major Contributory Risk Factor for Development of Rhino-Orbital Cerebral Mucormycosis (ROCM) in COVID-19 Patients
Authors: Agrawal Nishant , Garg Rishu , Jain Rahul
Published: March 2024

BACKGROUND: Coronavirus disease (COVID-19) outbreak has created a global health crisis. Amidst the pandemic, there was a massive surge of mucormycosis cases in COVID-19 patients. Uncertainties of pandemic times, accentuated by frequent changes in treatment guidelines, lead to widespread, often inadvertent, use of broad-spectrum antibiotics and immune-modulators. This has been implicated in the increased incidence of bacterial and fungal co-infections in COVID-19 patients.
METHODS: Rt-PCR positive SARS CoV-2 patients were recruited so as to populate two different verticals - ROCM (n=66) group and non-ROCM (n=132) group. The demographic profile, co-morbidities, vaccination status, treatment received, and other exposures were compared between the two groups. We aim to study the clinical profile of patients of SARS CoV-2 with rhino-orbital-cerebral mucormycosis (ROCM) and the predisposing factors.
RESULT: 66 ROCM and age matched 132 non-ROCM subjects were recruited in the study. The mean age of ROCM patients was 51.12±12.2 yr with male preponderance in ROCM group (81.8 vs 63.6, p= 0.008, 95% CI 4.7-29.5). Meantime to develop ROCM from the onset of initial symptoms of COVID-19 was 19.22±8.12 days. Headache was the most common symptom of ROCM, followed by peri-orbital discoloration and cranial nerve involvement. Uncontrolled blood sugar was the most important co-morbidity (91%). Steroids were received by 97% vs. 100% patients in ROCM and non ROCM groups (p=0.046).
CONCLUSION: Steam inhalation, uncontrolled blood sugar levels, and hyperferritinemia were found to be the major predisposing factors in the development of ROCM. Alarmingly, the use of steroids/immune-modulators in high doses and for prolonged duration did not predispose the patients of Covid-19 to the development of ROCM. The severity of COVID-19 infection, per se, did not increase the risk of developing ROCM.

Key words: Rhino orbital cerebral mucormycosis, Covid-19, steroids, diabetes mellitus, hyperferritinemia.

Authors: Khandelwal Shivani , Desai Mansee
Published: March 2024

BACKGROUND: - Fatigue can be defined as an overwhelming, debilitating, and sustained exhaustion that makes it harder to carry out activities and function Fatigue describes a state of tiredness or exhaustion. Fatigue is an important symptom in academics due to its association with physical, psychological and social problems and the employee health, performance, safety and general workability continues to grow. Research has shown that fatigue may result from some health and work-related factors, particularly a poor health status, long work hours and extended-duration work shifts.
INTRODUCTION: - Fatigue is a state of physical or mental weariness, often accompanied by a reduced capacity to perform tasks effectively. It is characterized by a sensation of tiredness, exhaustion, and a lack of energy, which can result from various factors, including prolonged physical or mental exertion, insufficient rest or sleep, illness, stress, and other physical or psychological conditions. The need for a study aimed to investigate the prevalence of fatigue in female academicians by using a reliable self-completion tool that can measure subjective condition, either in extreme clinical cases or in routine day-to-day functioning, has never been greater.
METHODOLOGY: - An observational study was conducted in Ahmadabad city. This study was approved by the Ethical Committee. The Chalder Fatigue Scale was used to assess symptoms of fatigue.

In our historiography, in the study of Romanian-Turkish relations, circumstantial in the interwar period, the call, in more detail, to contemporary testimonies can also be enriched by highlighting the public conferences held by personalities of scientific or public life (N. Batzaria, Gheorghe I. Brătianu, Petre Gheață, N. Iorga, Ion Gr. Periețeanu et al.), in Bucharest and in other cities of the country; they present to the Romanian reader, above all, the image of the modernizing achievements of the new Eurasian republican state – the Kemalist Turkey. This is the approach we propose, in summary, in the following lines.

The article presents the results of studying the characteristics of porous materials based on basalt fiber obtained

by radial pressing followed by sintering in air. Based on the analysis of images of structures, it is shown that the material

is characterized by high porosity. The formation of pores between basalt fibers occurs by burning out the organic

and polymer bonds. It has been established that sintering of basalt fiber at 1050 °С and 1100 °С forms a porous material

with a structure characterized by a porosity of 52–75%, an average pore size of 8–18 μm, a permeability coefficient

of (42–55) 10–12 m2, and a strength of compression 7–13 MPa. The results obtained prove that the porous material

made of basalt fiber is able to provide better filtering characteristics compared to analogues.

Authors: GURSKII A.
Published: March 2024

The article discusses the method and device for remote diagnostics (RD) of cells of a high-voltage battery pack

(HVBP) of electric vehicles (EV). The data obtained can be used in the diagnosis of electric vehicles, as well as in the

design, maintenance and repair. Improvement of remote diagnostics of individual cells and the entire HVBP by

integrating the converted data into the internal data network and transmitting to the server of telematics services with

subsequent data processing, which, first of all, will allow to quickly identify problem cells, thereby preventing failures

or failures in the operation of the HVBP, plan routine repairs, adjust maintenance standards, and also to predict the

state of the HVBP in order to bring it closer to the ideal resource. This data can be used to adjust the operating modes

on the route and to select routes according to the actual state in order to work out the maximum possible number of

charge-discharge cycles.

The work includes the creation of algorithms for reading data, the formation of a set of diagnostic parameters

and a data package for integration into the internal data bus and for sending to the server.
The Aesthetic Fashioning of the Self: Failure of Dissensual Subjectivity in The Hairy Ape
Authors: Jeihouni Mojtaba
Published: March 2024

In The Hairy Ape Eugene O’Neill reveals the instrumental control of society and accentuates the decline of an authentic self-relation against the backdrop of capitalist modernity. He creates an alienated and robotized character who breaks free of his designated role as a docile subject. This article draws upon the later work of Michel Foucault, especially his notions of care of the self and aesthetic self-fashioning, in order to consider the consequences of an ethical viewpoint toward subjectivity in O’Neill’s play. Associating Foucault’s concept of care of the self with social action, this article argues that Yank’s desire to act emanates from his ethical commitment to subjectivity and agency, but he fails because biopower contains and eliminates any resistance that calls its authority into question. It is the author’s contention that he carries the weight of revolt alone and thus cannot experience a self-fashioned form of subjectivity without bringing ruin upon himself.
Plato and Nietzsche on the Ideal Soul
Authors: Riccardi Mattia
Published: March 2024

Nietzsche scholars have remarked on the similarities between his conception of the ideal soul and that of Plato. This article provides a systematic examination of this issue. The first part of the article demonstrates that there is in fact a substantive convergence between their views. However, this result is puzzling given that Nietzsche accuses Plato’s moral psychology of being deeply ascetic. Thus, the second part of the article focuses on this charge. Though the textual evidence provided by Plato’s dialogues remains ambiguous, the article concludes that it tends to support Nietzsche’s case. However, Nietzsche not only recognizes—at least occasionally—that Platonic ascetism is less rabid than Christian ascetism but even concedes that it can prove healthy for certain people.

Dextran gum has important medicinal applications. The study was aimed to produce the dextran from Leuconostoc mesenteroides isolated from home made fermented foods. Two strains of Leuconostoc mesenteroides (LM-1 and LM-2) were isolated from chilli pickle and sauerkraut by enrichment culture technique. The isolates were subjected to dextran gum production using standard sucrose medium and modified medium made with sugar cane juice and & liquid jaggery. Dextran gum produced by each isolate with different medium combinations was extracted and purified and subjected to conformity tests. The dextran produced by isolates was found to be viscous and soluble in water. The isolate LM1 showed highest yield of 3.50 g / 100ml with sugarcane juice medium. Sugarcane juice can be used as a source of sucrose which is economically affordable. However, more studies should be carried out to explore the process of dextran gum production

Effect of different pretreatments of Aquilaria malaccensis seeds for enhancement of germination rate
Authors: Dutta Joyashree , Bhuyan Mantu
Published: March 2024

A few plant species of the Thymelaeceae family are highly valuable and demanding because they contain resinous oil in their stems, branches, and roots. From this plant, resinous oil is extracted through the distillation process. Traditionally and from the religious point of view, the oil has a higher potential in the manufacturing of perfume, incense sticks, smoke, and many other medicinal and religious purposes. It is a highly economic plant, so its conservation is very important. Aquilaria plants are propagated through seeds and the seeds are recalcitrant, i.e., they are chilling sensitive and also cannot be stored at room temperature because of their high moisture content. They are also called desiccation sensitive. Below a certain level of moisture content, their embryos become death or inviable. Conservation of germplasm in the case of recalcitrant seeds is a major issue to be solved in the current situation. Our main focus was to enhance the germination of the Aquilaria malaccensis seeds for the early development of the seedlings within a short time. Here we are applying different pretreatments of Aquilaria seeds, such as Acetone for 1 min, 2 min, and 3 min, likewise Methanol, Ethanol, hot water, acetic acid, etc for enhancing seeds germination and it was found that highest germination percentage in the treatment where seeds are soaked in 1 min acetone (70%) in comparison to the control, which shows only a 56.7% germination rate. Their germination rate was determined by regular observation for up to 2 months, and the growth curve was also prepared by calculating the weight of the seeds. The findings of the current study will help to develop a protocol for early germination as well as mass propagation within a short period of time. The results of the Aquilaria species are significantly different from each other.
