Endemic Flora of Peninsular India and its Significance
Authors: Nayar M. P.
Published: May 2024

There is comparatively high degree of endemism in Peninsular India and thus the flora is distinct. Blasco (1971) has estimated about 1,268 endemic dicotyledons in South India. The Peninsular India has an endemic concentration of 32% while rest of India has about 27% endemics. Out of the 304 families of flowering plants recorded from India, there is not a single endemic family. In this paper the phytogeography of endemic genera and characteristic endemic species of Peninsular India are analysed in relation to its distribution and affinities. The distribution is also analysed in relation to plate tectonics.The endemic angiosperms of Peninsular India consist of about 56 genera and they are distributed over 25 families. The families with the largest numbr of endemic genera are Gramineae (10 genera) and Acanthaceae (9 genera). There are about 2100 endemic species in Peninsular India of which 890 are woody species, 254 semi-woody and the rest 859 are herbaceous species. The endemic flora of Peninsular India is considered to be old one and the nature of endemics is analysed in terms of phytogeography, taxonomy and palaeobotany. The dynamics of characteristic endemic genera and their speciation is given. According to the analysis, majority of the endemics are palaeoendemics belonging to humid tropic belt. Wherever interphase of climatic shifts occur with different ecotones some endemic genera show epibiotic speciation.
Notes on Cyperaceae of Assam
Authors: Rao A. S. , Verma D. M.
Published: May 2024

The paper includes, as addition to the Indian flora, Carex eteusinoides Turcz. ex Kunth, Fimbristylis fimbristyloides (F. v. Muell.) Druce and F. yunnanensis Glrake. Six species have been recorded as new to the Assam region. On examination of mature specimens, Carex fuscifructus Clarke has been proved to be a distinct species. Mistakes have been pointed out on the reported occurrence in India of Carex lachenalii Schkuhr, C. prainii Clarke and Juncellus stylosus Clarke. Doubts have been raised on the distinctivity of several taxa, and biosystematic studies have been suggested to solve some of the complexes. A list of twelve species and one variety endemic to the Assam region, and miscellaneous notes on some other taxa have also been included.
Observations on Folklore about Plants Used in Veterinary Medicine in Bengal, Orissa and Bihar
Authors: Pal D. C.
Published: May 2024

During the exploration of Bihar, Orissa and West Bengal ethnobotanical information was collected from the tribes of Kondh, Munda, Oraon, Santal and Lodha along with plants. It is found that 20 species under 19 genera and 16 families are used by them for veterinary medicine. It is further discovered that most of them are new to the present day knowledge. Hence an attempt has been made to enumerate all such folklore plants in the present work incorporating its botanical name, local name, locality, traditional uses with voucher specimens deposited in Economic Botany Section of Botanical Survey of India.

Botanic Gardens and Taxonomy - their Economic Role
Authors: Heywood V. H.
Published: May 2024

An account is given of how the development of botanic gardens and of taxonomy have been linked throughout much of their history. After the period of physic gardens in which botany and medicine were intimately associated, there came a phase of exploration and commercial and agricultural development of colonial territories by European powers in which botanic gardens and taxonomists played a vital role. In the twentieth century with the creation of separate agricultural institutions and research stations, botanic gardens lost their link with agriculture, and went througn a phase of uncertainty and decline. With the rise of experimental botany, the role of taxonomy declined and efforts were concentrated on evolutionary or biosystematic, largely non-classificatory aspects, to the neglect of the information-processing role of the subject. In recent years, taxonomy is again seen to have a major practical role, in the conservation and resources crisis, a responsibility which taxonomists should willingly accept.
The Ethnobotany of Amazon Indians: a Rapidly Disappearing Source of botanical Knowledge for Human Welfare
Authors: Prance Ghillean Tolmie
Published: May 2024

The Amazon Indians are a rich source of botanical information. Some 200 tribes each have their own unique botany with many different plant recipes for their common needs e.g. arrow poisons, narcotics, food and fibers. Examples from several tribes are given of the variety of arrow poisons, fish poisons and hallucinogenic drugs which arc used in Amazonia. The Indians have had thousands of years of management of the Amazon ecosystem. However, the rate of acculturation and extinction of tribes is accelerating-even faster than the 90 tribes which have gone extinct in the 20th Century. Information of great potential use to human welfare about unexploited plants and management of the forest ecosystem is rapidly becoming lost. A review is given of this destruction of the Indians and their forest and habitat and it is suggested that there is an urgent need to study these people and for biologists to be active in the efforts which are being made to protect the Amazon Indians.

Concept of Phyllanthus niruri (Euphorbiaceae) in Indian Floras
Authors: Mitra R. L. , Jain S. K.
Published: May 2024

The study reveals that 'Phyllanthus nirui in Fora of British India is a mixture of three distinct species, viz., P. amarus Schum. & Thonn., P. fraternus Webster and P. debilis Klein ex Willd., the true P. niruri Linn, being endemic to West Indies. It is further observed that true P. debilis Klein ex Willd. (1804) is not correctly recognised in any Indian Flora and the plant that goes under the name is an altogether different species-P. debilis Herb. Ham. ex Hook.f. (1887), which however, being a later homonym is to be replaced by P. aity-shawii Brunei & Roux (1984). P. mukerjeeanus Mitra & Bennet has been found to represent juvenile form of P. debilis Klein ex Willd., hence reduced to the synonymy of that species. To facilitate proper identification a key to the different taxa of this complex in India is provided and their diagnostic characters are described and illustrated.

Insects in Relation to Pollination of some Umbellifers
Authors: Koul A. K. , Koul Pushpa , Hamal I. A.
Published: May 2024

Plants and animals constitute the biotic component of every ecosystem. They interact with each other in many ways. Some interactions are synergistic and others antagonistic. But for one the survival of the other group and that of the ecosystem itself gets threatened. One of the arees of interaction between plants and animals is the pollination biology. The entomophilous pollination involves interaction between flowering plants and certain groups of insects. Entomophily has specific requirements, the entomophilous flowers are large, colourful, scented and zygomorphic. All these characteristics draw insects towards flowers and in the process pollination is effected.
Interaction between Termites and Plants - An overview
Authors: Chhotani O. B. , Bose Geeta
Published: May 2024

In the biological interaction between plants and animals it is well known that of the insects, the termites play a very prominent and significant role since they are able to transform dead and decaying complex plent cellulosic material into reusable soil nutrients which in turn are used by future generations of plants. These little insects are also responsible for much of the turning over of the soil by bringing up fresh soi1 from below the earth surface. Termites are mainly herbivorous and also saprophagous and so are deeply involved in the dissimilation of nutrients from deadwood and decomposed vegetation holding an important position in the ecosystem in tropical countries and in warm temperate zones. As them insects rely on micro-organisms, living in a state of symbiosis inside their gut canal for the digestion of complex plant meterial the whole process of interaction is very much more complicated and many factors have to be taken into account such as the biology of the host termites, their intestinal Protozoans and bacteria as well as the food inself which may be in a living condition or in a decaying and dead condition.
Honey Bee - Flower Relationship
Authors: Suryanarayana M. C.
Published: May 2024

Insects can be classified based on their food habits, as omnivorous, carnivorous, saprophagous and phytophagous. Obligatory phytophagy of the early insects might have led to the insect-plant relationship that is interdependent and evolutionarly very significant for both the partners. Leppik (1957, 1977) and Deodikar (1961) gave detailed accounts of the synagonistic relationship between flowering plants and insects and classified the flower forms into amorphic, haplomorphic, actinomorphic, pleomorphic, stereomorphic and zygomorphic types.Insects show evolutionarily increasing trends in their body structure, physiology, behaviour and sensory perception as they changed in their food habits from a general phytophagy to anthophagy.
A Conspectus of the 74 Taxa of Cotoneaster Ehrhart Ex Medic. (Rosaceae) in India
Authors: Panigrahi G. , Kumar Arvind
Published: May 2024

Available evidence from cytology [X=17 2n=34 (3 ssp.). 2n=51 (3 spp.) and 2n=68 (14 spp.)] judged against the breeding behaviour of the parental species and their F1 hybrids. All suggest that Cotoneaster Ehrhart ex Medic. must be treated as a largely apomictic genus, in which recognition of 'micro-species', sensu Klotz (1957-Seq. 1978), is justified. The distributional data of the 74 taxa indigenous to India brings up 25 species as endemic (asterisked) to the Indian Sector of the Himalayas and one, viz., C. buxifolia Wall. ex. Lindl., to the Nilgiri ill ranges. A conspectus of the 74 species, arranged alphabatically with correct nomenclature typification, relevant synonyms and their occurrence in different Sectors/Zones of India is appended.

Political economy of farmer group empowerment policy to support the achievement of SDGs
Authors: Aminah Siti , Sahab Ali , Roikan Roikan
Published: May 2024

The policy of forming and strengthening farmer groups is not a practical solution for advancing agriculture/improving farmer welfare. Strengthening institutions and empowering farmer groups is not merely a matter of agricultural economics, but of political economy. The problem is, there are many technical and non-technical obstacles that place farmer groups as actors in sustainable agricultural policy and development in accordance with SDGs #2. This study discusses the complexity of agricultural problems in Watu Lanur Village, Poco Ranakan Sub-District, East Nusa Tenggara. The less than optimal natural carrying capacity, the socio-economic conditions of rain-fed farmers and the lack of intensive assistance from the government are among the causes. Empowerment of farmer groups is hampered by subsistence ethics and socio-cultural issues (customs/traditions). This study uses qualitative methods with data collection techniques through in-depth interviews and observations of farmer groups. This study shows that the community is trying to empower itself by helping farmer groups. However, in the process, technical and non-technical obstacles are still found that do not support the community's innovation movement. The conclusion of this study is that farmer group institutions are weakened and less oriented towards implementing sustainable agriculture as a result of the establishment of farmer groups simply to fulfill formal aspects of empowering farmers in order to improve farmer welfare and less use of local knowledge in empowering farmer groups.

Women’s awareness of river water quality and their vulnerability to use of Brantas River water
Authors: Budirahayu Tuti , Susanti Emy , Sutinah Sutinah , Kuntari Satiti , Wicaksono Dimas Prasetianto
Published: May 2024

This study was motivated by river water pollution which has an impact on the health of residents who live along the Brantas River Watershed (DAS). Aim of this research is to determine the health awareness and vulnerability of women and their families who live in the Brantas Watershed. An ecofeminist perspective is used to explain women’s awareness and participation in protecting the environment and river water. This research uses a descriptive method with a survey research type. The research was conducted in Surabaya City and Sidoarjo Regency. The number of respondents was 200 housewives aged 19 to over 55 years. The research results show that there are still 11.50% of women in Sidoarjo Regency, and 3.40% from Surabaya who use river water and consider it suitable for household needs. Women and their families are also vulnerable to disease, where 35.30% of children from respondents in Surabaya have experienced skin diseases, and 34.2% of children from respondents in Sidoarjo have experienced diarrhea. However, it turns out that women also care about protecting and preserving the environment. This study concludes that efforts are needed to increase women’s awareness so that they can avoid behavior that is not beneficial to health, especially in their interactions with polluted river water.
Male victims of domestic violence among professional families: Shackled in masculinity
Authors: Mas'udah Siti
Published: May 2024

Various acts of domestic violence are the reality that troubles family life in various social classes. This study seeks to investigate violence experienced by men among professional families and the causes of women to commit such act. This study deployed qualitative methods and conducted in-depth interviews of 53 informants. The finding of the study indicates that men not only experience single violence, but a variation of violence that occurred in professional families, such as physical, economic, verbal/psychological, and sexual violence. This study shows the triggers for women to commit violence against men among professional families are insecurity, jealousy, and inequality in socioeconomic status. Men are burdened with patriarchy and tend to be passive in reacting to the violence they experience. Masculinity makes male victims of violence suffer triple oppression: They become the victims; they are embarrassed because they get a negative stigma from the community for failing and not being able to lead their families; and when men become the victims, they ‘get punished’ because it is considered as ‘abnormal’ for men to become victims of violence. Men react to the violence committed by their wives by carrying out latent resistance, manifest resistance, and alienation.

Science learning that only prioritizes conceptual learning and ignores relevance to the environmental context and society in which students live needs to be immediately abandoned and changed to contextual learning oriented towards student activity and engagement. The research aims to implement the contextual teaching and learning (CTL) model assisted by video animation to improve student learning processes and engagement in science learning about the Water Cycle. For this reason, a qualitative approach to this type of classroom action research is a research method that is considered relevant. Class actions were carried out in cycles (planning, implementation, observation and reflection) in class 5 of SDN 3 Watang Sidenreng, Sidrap Regency, South Sulawesi. Three instruments were used as data collection tools: teacher and student observation sheets and student learning engagement observation. Descriptive analysis was used for the analysis of data. The result is significant changes after implementing three class actions, especially in the student-centred orientation of learning science. With worksheets supported by animated video media, everything strengthens the contextualization of the Water Cycle material to be closer to students' daily phenomena. Various activities and learning experiences are realized when implementing the CTL model's seven learning steps (syntax). At the end of the cycle, student engagement could increase significantly. Thus, implementing CTL assisted by video animation could improve the learning process and engagement.

The integration of science and local knowledge is still rarely found in the learning media used in lectures. This has an impact on the lack of meaningful learning and students' ability to create student worksheets. This study applied a case-based learning strategy integrated with traditional ecological knowledge to evaluate the ability of prospective teacher students to design student worksheets, so this study aimed to determine the correlation between the two variables. The sample for this study was 73 prospective science teacher students who programmed the STEM course. The study used a one-shoot case design and the results showed that (1) students' ability to design TEK-based worksheets increased from meeting 1 to meeting 3 after the implementation of the CBL strategy, and (2) there was a positive and strong relationship between the implementation of the CBL strategy and the ability of students to design TEK-based worksheets. So, the CBL strategy is appropriate to use in STEM lectures to improve students' ability to design worksheets.

The task of optimizing the strength of the critical zones of the main support of the An-32 aircraft chassis is considered. With the help of finite element analysis, the stress-strain state of the chassis support was determined. Based on the results of the finite element analysis, critical stress zones were determined. The number of load cycles before failure is determined. The critical zones were optimized by changing the technological radii of the support structure to the most optimal ones, and the stress-strain state and resource before failure were recalculated.
To optimize the critical zones, the SHERPA method was used, which uses several strategies for finding a solution at the same time.

The paper examines the issue of improving the methods of identification of economic objects and their analysis using algorithms of intelligent data processing. The use of the developed methodology in the economic analysis allows for improvement in the quality of management. It can be the basis for creating decision support systems to prevent potentially dangerous changes in the economic status of the research object. In this work, an improved method of c-means data clustering with agent-oriented modification is proposed, and a radial-basis neural network and its extension are proposed to determine whether the obtained clusters are relevant and to analyze the informativeness of state variables and obtain a subset of informative variables. The effect of applying data compression using an autoencoder on the accuracy of the methods is also considered. According to the results of testing of the developed methodology, it was proved that the probability of incorrect determination of the state was reduced when identifying the states of economic systems, and a reduced value of the error of the third kind was obtained when classifying the states of objects.

Published: May 2024

Pada teknologi modern, Internet merupakan hal yang sangat penting. Dunia Pendidikan seperti Universitas memiliki ketergantungan tinggi terhadap internet. Penggunaan internet dengan Bandwidth yang besar jika hanya diperoleh dari satu penyedia layanan internet dapat menimbulkan banyak resiko. Universitas- universitas saat ini menggunakan lebih dari satu penyedia layanan internet atau sering disebut Internet Service Provider (ISP), sehingga diperlukan cara agar pembagian Bandwidth pada dua atau lebih jalur ISP dapat seimbang. Dalam penelitian ini digunakan metode Load Balancing untuk mengatasi hal tersebut dengan mendistribusikan traffik jaringan ke beberapa jalur. Pada penelitian ini penulis membandingkan kinerja dua metode Load Balancing yaitu ECMP (Equal-Cost Multi-Path) dan NTH pada router mikrotik. Pengujian penerapan load balancing dilakukan dengan dengan memandingkan kecepatan bandwidth sesudah dan sebelum implementasi load balancing. Pengambilan data dilakukan dengan memberikan penugasan pada piranti penelitian untuk melakukan download file dengan ukuran 200 MB sampai 500 MB. Setiap piranti juga diminta untuk request pada router agar mengakses youtube. Pengolahan data dilakukan menggunakan metode QoS dengan cara menghitung kualitas kinerja kedua metode yang telah diimplementasikan. Pada QoS terdapat beberapa parameter yang digunakan untuk membandingkan hasil kinerja metode ECMP dan NTH yaitu Delay, Packet Loss, Jitter dan Throughput. Hasil sebelum adanya Load Balancing cenderung lebih buruk dibandingkan sesudah penerapan load balancing. Hasil keseluruhan pengujian parameter QoS melalui switch untuk metode ECMP memiliki hasil yang lebih baik daripada NTH dengan nilai Packet Loss 0.996%, Delay 0.3539 ms, dan Jitter 0.3377 ms.

Published: May 2024

This bibliometric study explores the cryptocurrency accounting (CA) literature and the connections between authors, institutions, and countries where cryptocurrency activity involves transactions that must be legally recognized in accounting, assure accuracy and reliability for auditing, and adhere to tax compliance. The design involves data selection from Web of Science Core Collection (WoS) and Scopus, published between 2007 - 2023. The technique helps identify influential publications, collaboration networks, thematic clusters, and trends in research on CA using tools VOSviewer, Biblioshiny, and MS Excel. The originality of the study lies in its dual role as a support for accounting professionals and academics to develop innovative solutions for the challenges posed by crypto technology across core accounting areas: financial and managerial accounting, taxation, and auditing. The findings offer insights into the themes mentioned, and even if the collaboration between the authors is not very developed, the innovation and public recognition of the subject could raise researchers' interest. The limitation of the dataset is that it does not cover all relevant publications in a different period from the one in which the data was retrieved, 9-11 May 2024. This review might need periodic updates because the CA landscape is constantly changing.
Acute Appendicitis within Incarcerated Hernia Sac: A Case Report and Literature Review
Authors: Raudonytė Danielė , Varanauskas Gintaras , Dulskas Audrius
Published: May 2024

Background: Localization of acute appendicitis in a hernia sac is a rare phenomenon with a frequency of around 0.08 - 1 %. Even fewer cases of postoperative hernias with a vermiform appendix in the hernia sac have been described. We selected 23 cases in the English literature describing this phenomenon and analyzed diagnostic and treatment options.
Case presentation: We present a 72-year-old woman who was complaining of a painful, rigid mass in the anterior abdomen wall for two days. After performing an ultrasound, incarcerated ventral hernia was diagnosed and emergency surgery was performed. During the surgery, gangrenous appendicitis was found in the hernia sac. It was decided to do an appendectomy and primal hernioplasty. Postoperative period was uneventful.
Conclusion: Appendicitis within incisional hernia is an extremely rare phenomenon. Diagnosis may be challenging because of dominating incarcerated hernia symptoms. However, computed tomography might play a crucial role, by differentiating causes of acute abdomen. Appendectomy is the standard option for appendicitis treatment, however, there is no consensus on how abdominal wall integrity should be restored.

Published: May 2024

: This study aimed to validate the effects of self-compassion-based forest healing therapy as an intervention for reducing stress and promoting coping resources. Therefore, we investigated the effects of self-compassion-based forest healing therapy on stress, self-compassion, and connectedness to nature. A total of 30 participants were divided into an experimental and control group. Two sessions of forest healing meditation activities were held at the Forest of Healing every two weeks between October and November 2023. As a repeated measures experiment, data were collected before the intervention, after the first intervention, and after the second intervention. Perceived stress, positive and negative affect, and salivary cortisol were measured to assess physiological and psychological stress in participants. Connectedness to nature and self-compassion were measured to evaluate stress-coping resources. The results showed that the forest healing program had significant positive effects on stress and emotional states in the experimental group after the intervention. Further, there was a significant incremental effect on connectedness to nature and self-compassion in the experimental group. Therefore, self-compassion meditation-based forest healing therapy is a feasible and efficient approach for facilitating stress management and coping resource building.
