Insecticides and Soil Collembola: An Overview
Authors: Sarangi Priyanka , Chakravorty Partha Pratim , Das Bhabatosh
Published: August 2024

Collembola or springtails are considered to be good model organisms for determining ecological toxicity and are used as non-target bio-indicators in environmental assessments. The susceptibility of these microarthropods to different edaphic perturbations is remarkable. One significant element leading to the degradation of soil quality in modern times is the indiscriminate use of insecticides in agricultural fields. Even while using insecticides in agriculture might be profitable, the harmful consequences of these chemicals affect not just the targeted pests that are intended to harm but also a variety of important soil fauna. The adoption of sustainable farming methods is the key to cultivating and conserving a diversified soil community, which plays critical roles in supplying functions and services throughout ecosystems. The goal of this review is to thoroughly explain the negative effects of insecticides on these vital micro-arthropods. An examination of the effects of several insecticides on various Collembola species reveals that collembola is among one of the most vulnerable soil fauna to insecticide contamination. This susceptibility endangers these organisms’ well-being and emphasizes the significance of recognizing their ecological responsibilities in the context of sustainable agricultural management.
Promoting Multifunctional Agriculture in India

Published: August 2024

Concerns regarding productivity-driven agricultural policies since the 1970s have impacted on the quality of the environment and rural vitality. in the recent decades, researchers have attempted to restructure and enlarge the scope of agricultural policy by including aspects like multifunctionality that include valuable non-commodity outputs in addition to the commodities that generate most of its revenue. In addition, multifunctionality of agriculture may be ideally understood by placing it within the framework of sustainable development. It provides the underlying mechanisms and transition processes required for attaining the sustainability goals. As such, the focus is on gleaning strong elements from different approaches for an integrated perspective that focuses on transition processes towards sustainable agricultural and rural development. Towards this end, new institutional arrangements that go beyond the state-market divide (community supported agriculture, trusts, contracts between tourism sector, consumer and farmers), an optimal level of decentralisation for policy design and matching governance mechanisms is an important strand in policy research that can account for the complementarities and co-production of farming, ecological and socio-cultural systems. Therefore, an ideal policy format for doubling farmers’ income, and a simultaneous endeavour to achieve sustainability in agriculture would be to advance our understanding of the multiple functions of agriculture by creating contextual prototypes of multifunctional farming systems.

Authors: Jat Sugma , Thakur P.
Published: August 2024

The investigation was aimed to explore the possibilities. of successful cultivation of Matricaria chamomilla as an intercrop with Poplar trees along with standardizing the doses of organic manures used. Theexperiment comprised eighteen treatments, which included four different doses, each of vermicompost and FYM @ 1 t/ha, 2t/ha, 3t/ha and 4t/ha in combination with and without Poplar trees. The observations were taken attwo distances, i.e. D₁ (up to 80 cm) and D₂ (81 to 160 cm) from the tree line. The results revealed that Matricaria chamomilla can be grown successfully under Agroforestry Systems consisting Poplar as dominant functional component. The tree presence had little suppressing effect on the growth and physiological performance of herb, even in plants growing immediately beneath tree canopy (D₁). The use of organic manures like vermicompost and FYM at appropriate doses was found beneficial for minimizing competition for critical resources Vennicompost @ 4t/ha was the most effective dose of organic manure, followed by vermicompost @ 3t/ha and FYM @ 4t/ha. On the basis of the quantum of information generated through this study, it can be concluded that the cultivation of high value cash crops like medicinal and aromatic herbs with multipurpose tree species, especially commercial timber is a profitable alternative for traditional cropping systems. It was observed that Matricaria chamomilla could successfully be cultivated as an intercrop with Poplar trees without any adverse impact on the performance and production ability of this herb, except when grown very close to the tree rows. The presence of tree species, particularly commercial timber species provide additional monetary benefits. The use of organic manures further improves the performance and production ability of intercrop by minimizing competition between functional components for critical resources. Matricaria performed better under Poplar trees than control without trees and manures. It is suggested that cultivation of Matricaria chamomilla incombination with multipurpose tree species, especially Poplar may be recommended for better economic returns from the Agroforestry Systems under rainfed conditions

Published: August 2024

The "3D cadastral strata building information model prototype" project aims to enhance land administration practices in Bhutan by developing a comprehensive solution for the digital representation of 3D land parcels. Through cadastral surveying, plot fragmentation analysis, and 3D building modeling, the project ensures the accurate depiction of land ownership information in compliance with Bhutan’s Lagthram system and the Strata Transaction Guidelines of 2021. At present, the system operates within a 2D spatial framework, where cadastral objects encompass entire land parcels, strata such as apartment buildings, or subterranean parcels. However, both land and property owners’ requirements reveal the inadequacy of solely relying on 2D cadastral parcel registration, as real estate assets inherently exist in three dimensions. Utilizing advanced surveying technologies and the Django framework, the project creates an intuitive website interface that facilitates seamless access and management of land data, enabling stakeholders to visualize landscapes and explore detailed ownership information, including airspace and subsurface rights, in 3D mode. By providing a holistic perspective on land parcels and property rights, the project supports informed decision-making, resource allocation, and sustainable urban development. In summary, the project presents a pioneering approach to land administration, aiming to improve transparency, efficiency, and equity in land management practices, thereby contributing to sustainable development in Bhutan and beyond.

La institucionalidad escolar de la realidad sociolingüística
Authors: Vega Julio César Ramón
Published: August 2024

Una sociedad se halla representada en su lenguaje a modo de representación cultural y étnica, por ello es necesario, para que la representatividad mencionada sea absoluta y permanente, dicha lengua deba ser institucionalizada, estandarizada y enseñada a las generaciones venideras. A fin de asegurar su extensión en el tiempo. La escuela constituye el factor clave de inoculación secundaria de las formas y elementos culturales. Cuando se trata de una sociedad de bilingüismo legítimo, la cuestión idiomática y su institucionalización, no se presenta como una mera explicitación y aplicación de reglas o métodos lingüísticos. La consideración de la lengua está guiada por el uso de la misma y este uso, se halla demarcado dentro de una cuestión social, que distingue a las formas comunicativas y las confina a sectores sociales determinados.

Published: August 2024

Background: For decades, the leaves of Allium ascalonicum (commonly known as Alubosa elewe) from the Liliaceae family have been widely used in Nigeria for managing disorders. Despite its extensive use in traditional medicine, there is no scientific validation to support this traditional use.
Aim: This study aimed to evaluate the hepatoprotective effect of Allium ascalonicum methanol extract (A. AMLE) in albino rats with acetaminophen-induced liver injury.
Methods: Standard procedures were employed to conduct a phytochemical screening of A. AMLE. The hepatoprotective effect of A. AMLE was assessed using biomarkers of hepatocellular indices, oxidative stress, and lipid peroxidation. Albino rats were administered distilled water or A. AMLE at doses of 100, 200, or 400 mg/kg body weight, respectively, for seven days. The treatment groups were challenged with 300 mg/kg body weight of acetaminophen on the sixth day.
Results: The phytochemical screening revealed the presence of flavonoids, saponins, anthraquinones, alkaloids, and tannins in A. AMLE. Oral administration of A. AMLE significantly (p < 0.05) attenuated acetaminophen-induced alterations in serum alkaline phosphatase, alanine aminotransferase, aspartate aminotransferase, albumin, and total bilirubin levels. Additionally, the acetaminophen-mediated decrease in the activities of superoxide dismutase, catalase, glutathione peroxidase, and glutathione reductase were significantly ameliorated in the liver of albino rats. Elevated levels of malondialdehyde, conjugated dienes, lipid hydroperoxides, tumor necrosis factor-α, and interleukins-6 and -8 were significantly reduced by A. AMLE.
Conclusion: This study scientifically validates the traditional use of Allium ascalonicum leaves for liver disorder management by demonstrating that its methanol extract mitigates acetaminophen-induced hepatotoxicity through enhanced antioxidant enzyme activity, highlighting its potential as a natural hepatoprotective agent and paving the way for further research and clinical application.
PROCESSING TOOLS FOR CORPUS LINGUISTICS: A CASE STUDY ON ARABIC HISTORICAL CORPUS
Authors: Hammo Bassam , Yagi Sane
Published: August 2024

This paper explores the development, design, and reconstruction of a Historical Arabic Corpus (HAC), which covers more than 1600 years of uninterrupted language use. The study emphasizes the technical aspects followed to enhance the system and provide a usable concordancer, along with simple experiments conducted on the corpus and the concordancer. Arabic has a rich literary and cultural heritage spanning thousands of years. The inclusion of digital resources and the advancement in natural language processing (NLP) technology have made Arabic historical corpora increasingly crucial for researchers and learners worldwide. By integrating HAC and its tools into Arabic language learning, learners can delve deeper into vocabulary and culture and gain valuable insights that improve their language skills and understanding of Arabic. This combination of human guidance and NLP technology makes learning an engaging and enjoyable experience, offering a dynamic and authentic way to master the Arabic language.
The accreditation transition of Canadian medical schools: Possible implications for graduates applying for residency positions in the United States
Authors: English Kevan
Published: August 2024

The Liaison Committee on Medical Education (LCME) has accredited Canadian medical schools for over 50 years. This agency also serves as the accrediting body for medical colleges in the United States. Thus, graduates of Canadian medical programs seeking residency training in the United States are not considered international medical graduates. Due to this fact, degree holders of Canadian medical programs who wish to pursue residency training in the United States do not require Educational Commission for Foreign Medical Graduate (ECFMG) certification to attain medical licensure. By mutual agreement with the Committee on Accreditation of Canadian Medical Schools, the LCME accreditation of Canada’s 17 medical schools will end on June 30th, 2025. Beyond this date, Canadian medical graduates seeking training within the United States will be considered international medical graduates. As a result, this will require ECFMG certification to enter postgraduate training. Possible implications of this decision could mean fewer Canadian graduates attaining competitive specialties and the social stigma of being labeled an international medical graduate.
