Investigation of time management skills of pre-service teachers in terms of various variables
Authors:   Department of Turkish Language and Literature Education, Faculty of Education, Kütahya Dumlupınar University, Kütahya, Türkiye, Eskimen Ayşe
Published: October 2023

The study aimed to examine the time management skills of pre-service teachers in terms of various variables. The study is important in terms of both quantitative and qualitative data in terms of planning time, being aware of the importance of time and knowing their habits that will make them waste time and revealing what their attitudes are about it. The study group of the research consists of Turkish pre-service teachers. "Time Management Questionnaire" and three open-ended questions were used as data collection tools. The results of the study show that pre-service Turkish teachers' time management skills differ according to gender, academic gpa, daily smartphone use and daily book reading habits; there was no significant difference according to the grade variable. In the study, it was concluded that as the daily smartphone usage time of pre-service teachers increased, their time management skill scores decreased; as the daily book reading time increased, their time management skill scores increased. The qualitative findings of the study showed that the majority of the pre-service teachers made short or long term plans, were aware of the importance of time and its efficient use, and the habit that they thought spent too much of their time was the smartphone; quantitative findings showed that the pre-service teachers' time management was at the "medium" level. We believe that the results of the study on determining the situations of pre-service teachers regarding time management through quantitative and qualitative data will both contribute to the field and guide further studies.

Published: October 2023

This study analyzes how medical educational programs are evolving to address the digital transformation in healthcare. Surveys, curriculum analysis, and faculty interviews were utilized to examine technology integration. Findings indicate electronic medical records are considered the most significant digital achievement, though only 4% of beginner faculty emphasized telemedicine. Curriculum analysis revealed increasing modifications related to technology, informatics, and data analytics, especially in certain specialties like biochemistry and biophysics. Interviews provided insights into digital integration opportunities and challenges. A key theme was re-evaluating pedagogical strategies as students rely more on technology. Interviewees also envisioned emerging innovations enabling personalized, immersive learning, but cautioned against over-dependence on technology impeding development of clinical skills and humanism. Overall, while core medical fundamentals remain unchanged, curriculum content is adapting to incorporate new competencies like digital literacy. However, strategic integration remains crucial to balance technology’s benefits and drawbacks. Challenges like technical difficulties, costs, and over-reliance must be addressed. The outlook is increased technology utilization, with solutions like AI-enabled adaptive learning on the horizon. However, investing in infrastructure and faculty development will be vital. Medical schools must leverage technology to elevate learning while retaining humanistic values. This study provides timely insights into medical education’s digital transformation, laying groundwork for further research on optimizing technology integration while upholding the human core of medicine.
Towards a reliable and valid measurement of executive function: A study of task design, behavior, and event-related potentials
Authors: Chi Zhang , Kunchen Xiao , Xiujuan Jing , Qiang Liu , Yifeng Wang
Published: October 2023

Executive function (EF) is a fundamental process that underpins goal-directed behavior, and encompasses three core components: inhibition, updating, and shifting. The neurocognitive processes of each component are still confused, primarily due to the low validity and reliability of EF tasks. This study employed three classic tasks - the Flanker task, the N-back task, and the rule switch task – which require manipulating certain objects to achieve goal-directed behaviors. These tasks were modified to enhance validity and reliability by eliminating irrelevant psychological components and utilizing a steady-state block design. Event-related potentials (ERPs) were then utilized to explore the neurophysiological mechanisms of EF based on these revised tasks. The revised tasks significantly improved the reliability (split-half reliability > 0.85, Interclass Correlation Coefficient > 0.81) and conformed to the unity and diversity model of EF. ERP results elucidated the specificity of different subcomponents (inhibition: P2 and P3; updating: N2 and LPP; shifting: P2 and P3). Notably, the findings clarified that the LPP, rather than P3, is the key ERP component associated with updating. Additionally, a novel component - the N500 - was identified as being related to content updating. Overall, this study offers a highly reliable and valid measurement tool for investigating the behavioral effects and neural mechanisms of EF, effectively addressing the reproducibility crisis prevalent in basic and clinical research. Through employing purer and more precise measurements, this study further confirmed the ERP components related to each subcomponent, promoting our understanding of the neural mechanisms of EF.
The Humanitarian side of Statelessness; Statelessness within the framework of the Millennium Development Goals
Authors: Tucker Jason
Published: October 2023

The issue of statelessness has begun to receive attention from a legal perspective. While this work should be commended and continue this article argues that we should also remember that at its core statelessness is a human issue that deeply affects the lives of those who suffer from it. It causes and perpetuates, amongst other things, extreme poverty and human insecurity. Statelessness is still greatly under-examined and under-appreciated as a potentially significant barrier to progress in the humanitarian and development fields. This piece aims to begin to situate statelessness as an important issue within these fields. This is done by taking the framework of the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) and looking at how statelessness affects the realization of each and every goal. This approach shows that by overlooking statelessness development actors and agencies could be failing to meet the needs of the world’s poorest. While far from being a comprehensive analysis of all available literature on statelessness and its relationship to each goal, this article is as an exploratory piece with the aim of encouraging development actors and agencies to recognise the importance of statelessness in their current and future projects and work to gain a greater understanding of the relationship between statelessness, poverty and human insecurity.

Exploring Statelessness in Iran
Authors: Tucker Jason
Published: October 2023

Iran has yet to be the subject of research looking into the gaps in the nationality law, which, could create and perpetuate statelessness. There were however, several pre-identified populations, some members of which are believed to be affected by statelessness, as well as gender discrimination in the nationality law - which causes and increases the risk of rendering children stateless. Therefore, based on this previous knowledge of potentially stateless populations, and the gaps/lack of certain safeguards against statelessness in the nationality law, this research provides a foundation for understanding nationality and statelessness in the country.
Letter to the Editors of Psychological Science: Evidence Supporting the Ecological Rationality of the "Organic = Healthful" Belief: Regarding Perkovic and Orquin (2018)
Authors: van de Mosselaar Piet
Published: October 2023

Perkovic and Orquin (2018) show that organic food from Danish supermarkets is generally healthier (Study 1), consumers recognize this (Study 2), and they learn that organic food is healthier when supported by evidence in an experimental setting (Study 3).Consumers widely perceive organic food as healthier and more nutritious, even though the organic label represents production methods, and evidence on nutritional differences between organic and non-organic food remains inconclusive. However, Perkovic and Orquin (2018) argue that the "organic = healthful" belief is ecologically rational because organic food is more prevalent in less processed and healthier categories.While organic vegetables are healthier than non-organic frozen pizzas, consumers rarely compare such diverse options. They typically determine essential categories before visiting a store (Block & Morwitz, 1999) and make decisions within those categories in-store (Bell et al., 2011; Hui et al., 2013). In light of this, the validity of the "organic = healthful" belief as ecologically rational in everyday situations remains uncertain.

Desvio da Energia Humana: Como o Trabalho Transformou-se em Mercadoria nas Sociedades Modernas
Authors: Orquiza João Carlos
Published: October 2023

Assim como um carro só é acionado pela chave de ignição com a energia do motorista, a sociedade moderna se sustenta pela energia presente em cada indivíduo. Em um universo dominado pela segunda lei da termodinâmica, a entropia - a tendência inerente à desordem - é uma constante inescapável. No entanto, a vida, em sua essência, desafia essa tendência, mantendo a ordem e a complexidade por meio da energia livre. Esta energia, especialmente a energia humana, não é apenas a força vital que sustenta os processos biológicos, mas também é a principal fonte de energia que alimenta as complexas estruturas e operações das sociedades contemporâneas. Durante 95% do tempo histórico da humanidade, a energia humana foi canalizada de maneira muito diferente da atual. Era direcionada principalmente para a coesão do grupo, a sustentação da vida e a manutenção do equilíbrio com o ambiente circundante. A vida em pequenos grupos coesos permitia a utilização da energia nos organismos entrópicos. No entanto, com a transição para sociedades pós-agrícolas, ocorreu uma mudança drástica na forma como essa energia é utilizada. As demandas da sociedade moderna, com sua ênfase na produção, transporte, comercialização e consumo, requerem uma quantidade sem precedentes de energia humana. Esta energia é extraída de indivíduos. Este ensaio busca explorar essa dinâmica, questionando o desvio da energia humana de seu propósito primordial e a necessidade de realinhar nossas sociedades para reconhecer o valor intrínseco da energia humana na forma do trabalho. Em um universo entrópico, onde a desordem é a norma, a energia humana é nossa maior defesa contra o caos. Portanto, é imperativo que reconheçamos sua centralidade em nossas vidas e sociedades.

New Pairing Mechanism via Chiral Electron-Hole Condensation for Non-BCS Superconductivity
Authors: Tan Wanpeng
Published: October 2023

A novel chiral electron-hole (CEH) pairing mechanism is proposed to account for non-BCS superconductivity. In contrast to BCS Cooper pairs, CEH pairs exhibit a pronounced affinity to antiferromagnetism for superconductivity. The gap equations derived from this new microscopic mechanism are analyzed for both s- and d-wave superconductivity, revealing marked departures from the BCS theory. Unsurprisingly, CEH naturally describes superconductivity in strongly-correlated systems, necessitating an exceedingly large coupling parameter ($\lambda>1$ for s-wave and $\lambda>\pi/2$ for d-wave) to be efficacious. The new mechanism provides a better understanding of various non-BCS features, especially in cuprate and iron-based superconductors. In particular, CEH, through quantitative comparison with experimental data, shows promise in solving long-standing puzzles such as the unexpectedly large gap-to-critical-temperature ratio $\Delta_0/T_c$, the lack of gap closure at $T_c$, superconducting phase diagrams, and a non-zero heat-capacity-to-temperature ratio $C/T$ at $T=0$ (i.e., the ``anomalous linear term''), along with its quadratic behavior near $T=0$ for d-wave cuprates.

Social timing as an active, multisensory, and embodied process. A commentary on “The evolution of social timing” by Verga, Kotz and Ravignani
Authors: Galvez-Pol Alejandro , López-Martín Genaro , Kilner James
Published: October 2023

This commentary commends the contributions made by Verga, Kotz, and Ravignani in "The Evolution of Social Timing," particularly their cross-species framework for understanding the temporal dynamics of social interactions. While endorsing the original work, the commentary introduces three salient considerations to augment the existing framework. First, it highlights the importance of active sensing, stating that organisms, both human and non-human, are not mere passive receptors but actively engage with their environment. This point challenges conventional paradigms in cognitive science that rely heavily on static laboratory settings. Second, the commentary underscores the role of multisensory integration in social timing. It argues that effective social interaction involves a complex array of sensory data, which must be synthesized for causal inference and alignment in social contexts. Lastly, it explores the significance of internal bodily states, like cardiac and respiratory cycles, in modulating social timing. We argue that these internal states, which might be discernible to external observers, dynamically influence social interactions. Overall, the commentary enriches the discourse on social timing by advocating for a more nuanced, dynamic, and embodied understanding of how organisms sense and interact with one another.
A Novel Method for Capturing of Intellectual Humility in Online Samples and Residents of Rural Honduran Villages
Authors: Rudnev Maksim , de la Rosa Ana Lucia Rodriguez , Barrett Ryan , Christakis Nicholas , Grossmann Igor
Published: October 2023

Advancing the so-far limited cultural scope of Intellectual Humility (IH) research, we introduce a novel event-contingent recall inventory for its assessment in response to specific disagreements across diverse samples: English and Spanish-speaking North Americans (N=633), and residents of 136 rural Honduran villages (N=2,567). Participants first reported whether they employed a set of epistemic strategies—such as careful listening to the other side, considering the reasons for the difference in opinion, considering one’s opinion being equally worth than the other person’s—during reflection on a series of autobiographical differences of opinion with close others, and if so, the degree to which they employed them. This multi-level assessment afforded testing factor solutions, while controlling for method factor. The one-factor solution with a method factor was largely invariant across situations and showed a robust psychometric set of trait and state-level associations to other individual difference measures as well as to education, and lower endorsement of domestic violence in Honduras. Additionally, IH was greater in Honduran villages with a greater proportion of older adults, even when controlling for other socio-economic factors. Critically, in each cultural context, we observed systematic situational variability of IH: low-IH in the situation where participants recalled being right, and high-IH in the situation where participants recalled being wrong. Moreover, people recalling differences of opinion with a person of lower relational status showed lower IH. Finally, we observed contextualized gender effects in Honduras: women were less likely to report IH compared to men, driven by a greater propensity of women to recall differences of opinion in which they had higher relational status than their interaction partner. We discuss the utility of situating measurement of epistemic content in people’s cultural context.

What the COVID-19 Pandemic has brought to light about Journalism Education in Zambia: Some Reflections on the transition to online teaching and learning
Authors: Mambwe Elastus
Published: October 2023

This paper cogitates and reflects on some of the lessons learned about journalism and mass communication education in Zambia following the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic. It highlights specific observations from the experience of teaching of journalism, mass communication and media studies courses in the wake of the globally menacing pandemic, within the context of a country in the global South with limited resources and a traditional approach to journalism education. I put together thoughts from reflexive autoethnography based on my professional positionality, buttressed by selected literature on teaching and learning in higher education during the pandemic, and insights from selected journalism educators in the country. The paper uncovers six points of reflection or lessons, namely: (a) there are still low levels of digital readiness in journalism schools; (b) distance education for journalism and mass communication is not easy but not at all impossible; (c) digital literacy for both faculty members and students in journalism schools must be scaled up; (d) persistent digital inequalities characterise higher education, including in journalism education; (e) exceedingly low levels of training in science and health reporting/coverage are still prevalent; and lastly (f), there is need to rethink how student internships and attachment programmes can be conducted in times of crisis. In addition to these observations, the paper argues for a wholistic approach to digital transformation to address many of these and other challenges.

PBL AS AN ALTERNATIVE WAY TO ACQUIRE REAL LIFE SKILLS
Authors: Papoyan Anna
Published: October 2023

Teaching a language is an ongoing hard process. The teacher’s task is to lead this process by applying interesting and innovative ways and approaches so that the learners (it doesn’t matter at school or higher educational institutions) would study not because they have to or their parents want them to, but they would study because they feel the flash of the intrinstic motivation. The teachers should do their best to bring the students body, mind and soul into the classroom by finding ways to turn students extrinsic motivation into inner desire enthusiasm and passion. Project Based Learning is a good means to get this destination if it is organized in the right way and it will become a magic tool in the hands of the smart master if applied effectively. The article highlights the necessity and ways to organize, manage and control this interesting journey full of real-life tasks and assignments.
Antioxidant and 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl Coenzyme A reductase inhibitory activities of some plant samples
Authors: Çil Arslan Elmas Irmak , Saçan Özlem
Published: October 2023

The antioxidant activity capacities of some plants, and their inhibitory effects on the HMG-CoA reductase enzyme, the rate-determining enzyme of cholesterol synthesis, were investigated in our study. Antioxidant activity capacity and inhibitory effect of the HMG-CoA reductase enzyme were detected in all plant extracts used in our research. The results obtained determined that both antioxidant activity and % inhibition values of HMG-CoA reductase enzyme increased as the plant extracts concentration increased. The strongest ABTS and DPPH radical scavenging activities were exhibited by pomegranate fruit extract (IC50= 1.07 ±0.04 mg/mL and IC50= 0.39 ±0.01 mg/mL, respectively). At the same time, lemon had the strongest DMPD radical scavenging activity (IC50= 9×10-4 ±6×10-5 mg/mL). The best HMG-CoA reductase inhibitory activity was observed in persimmon fruit extract (IC50= 0.71 ±0.18 µg/mL). The inhibitory power of this extract was much higher than that of the enzyme’s standard inhibitor, Atorvastatin (IC50 = 1.76 ±0.12 µg/mL). The extracts' potent antioxidant and inhibitory properties can be attributed to the rich phytochemical composition of plant extracts. Thus, it may be a potential source of new bioactive compounds effective against oxidative stress, hypercholesterolemia and cardiovascular complications.

Published: October 2023

Enriching cereal-containing functional foods in the changing food industry is highly attractive. Examining the use of nutrient-rich melon seed powder (MSP), a waste, in bakery products is valuable in sustainability. Within the scope of the study, the use of MSP as an alternative raw material to whole wheat flour (WWF) in cupcake formulation was investigated. Four formulations containing varying proportions of MSP (0%, 10%, 20%, 30%) were evaluated. Depending on the increase of MSP substitution, an increase was observed in the protein, fat and total ash ratios of the cupcakes. The addition of MSP to the product caused browning in the colour of the cupcakes and an increase in hardness values while causing a decrease in their specific volumes. According to the sensory analysis results, while the control cake was the most liked group, it was determined that MSP addition could be used up to 20% in terms of general acceptability and odour in cake production.
Técnica epidural com uso de bupivacaína associada à morfina, em cadela submetidas à ovariohisterectomia e biópsia excisional de nódulo em vulva: Relato de caso
Authors: Rosa Samuel Cincotto
Published: October 2023

Locoregional techniques are considered an increment for general anesthesia, since they promote efficient analgesia in the intraoperative period, resulting in a decrease in the dose of general anesthetics utilized, and of analgesic rescue in the postoperative period. This report aims to evaluate the effects of an anesthetic protocol, aiming to observe the physiological variables, duration and quality of anesthesia, in a bitch submitted to ovariohysterectomy and excisional biopsy of a nodule in the vulva, with acepromazine and methadone as premedication, propofol as the anesthesia inducing agent combined with epidural associations of bupivacaine-morphine. The patient was seen at the Veterinary Hospital with complaints of a nodule in the vulvar region with evolution of growth for 1 year. The patient was then referred to the surgery department for ovariohysterectomy and excisional biopsy of the nodule in the vulvar region. Therefore, it is concluded that the technique that uses morphine associated with bupivacaine is recommended for ovariohysterectomy and soft tissue surgery, as it presents nociceptive blockade, relaxation, and results in greater comfort for the animal during the trans- and post-operative periods.

Bronze Age, Iron Age, Roman and Saxon settlements along the route of the A43 Corby Link Road, Northamptonshire
Authors: Stephen Morris , Simon Markus , Jim Brown
Published: October 2023

MOLA (Museum of London Archaeology) undertook intermittent archaeological mitigation works for the A43 Corby Link Road, Northamptonshire, between June 2012 to October 2013.

Early Bronze Age funerary and domestic features/activity were recorded in one location largely on the flood plain on either side of Harper’s Brook. Here an undated palaeochannel, a ploughed-out barrow and a dispersed spread of four pits were recovered. Two of the pits had possible placed animal deposits. The barrow was respected by a late Bronze Age cremation. Nearly 2km away there was an isolated early Bronze Age pit contained significant parts of two collard urns.

Around 0.8km from the early Bronze barrow was a moderate sized middle Bronze Age flat cremation cemetery. Here there were 30 probable pits of which 25 produced varied quantities of cremated human remains and two other pits retaining pyre deposits. At a different part of the road scheme was a late Bronze Age/early Iron Age pit alignment which was backfilled in the middle Iron Age when a settlement was established. In the early Iron Age, there was a small area comprising postholes and small pits which may denote short term occupation.

In the last part of the middle Iron Age in c2nd century BC there were possibly three separate areas of occupation/activity established in different places. This comprised part of a small single-phase (with limited recutting) farmstead which was abandoned by the Conquest period. The second was a very small, segmented enclosure system which was in use for a short period in the 2nd century BC and/ or 1st century BC and the third middle-late Iron Age settlement continued into the early Roman settlement. In two further areas there was a new settlement established in the latest Iron Age or early Roman period and both these were short lived. It was noticeable there was no middle or late Roman settlement remains from any locations within the A43 scheme.

Along the valley side to the north of Newton and parallel to a watercourse there was a Saxon settlement of at least hamlet size. This comprised both timber-frame buildings and sunken-featured buildings associated with household industry including a weaving house and iron smelting, the latter occurred within and probably adjacent to the settlement. The evidence of middle Saxon iron smelting is especially rare, and it is within the national important Rockingham Forest ironworking area. The remains of one furnace was found in situ and others suspected nearby, with other iron working related features excavated included roast-ore pits and quarry extraction pits. At another location there was a single Saxon SFB next to Harper’s Brook, which was either isolated or had been part of a dispersed settlement.
Do I Really Want to Be an Archaeologist?
Authors: Karen D. Vitelli
Published: October 2023

Do I Really Want to Be an Archaeologist? is an edited collection of letters that Karen D. Vitelli wrote from pre-EU Greece and Turkey to family during her later years of graduate school and early field work (at Franchthi Cave, Gordion, and a training session at Corinth) through to the completion of writing her dissertation in Athens during a coup (1968-1974). An introductory chapter provides background information to clarify references in the letters, additional new comments within the letters amplify points and events, and a final chapter sums up her post-dissertation years. The letters were written during lively times politically and socially, as well as archaeologically, in Greece and around the world. The author was often torn between immersing herself in the past and being involved in the upheavals of that present. The letters show her frequent questioning about whether to remain in archaeology or become an ‘activist,’ and how she eventually found ways to do both.

Rome, Colosseum square and NE slopes of the Palatine hill: toward an integrated 3D system for stratigraphic data management and ancient urban landscape reconstruction
Authors: Clementina Panella  , Emanuele Brienza  , Lorenzo Fornaciari
Published: October 2023

The investigations carried out in the valley of the Colosseum and on the NE slopes of the Palatine have disclosed a complex sequence of urban and monumental interventions whose documentation has inevitably produced a vast amount of data that is difficult to manage without the aid of an information system. With the recent development of new applications, it is possible to create a system for the integration and visualisation of archaeological data, both in two and three-dimensional format, and to experiment with new criteria and methods for the combined and effective use of documents of a different nature.
Sozial- und Ideengestalt der Ökonomischen Bildung im Lichte ihrer disziplinären Kommunikation. Eine computerlinguistische Analyse der Tagungsbände der Deutschen Gesellschaft für Ökonomische Bildung
Authors: Jahn Robert W. , Cornelsen Anne
Published: October 2023

Wissenschaftliche Disziplinen als Kommunikations- und Diskursgemeinschaften befassen sich u.a. auch mit der Entwicklung der eigenen paradigmatischen Grundlagen. Zur Entwicklung und Verfasstheit der „Ökonomischen Bildung“ als fachdidaktische Disziplin ist allerdings bislang wenig bekannt. Über das Stadienmodell von Clark (1972) lässt sich diese Disziplin als entstehende, sich zunehmend etablierende Wissenschaftsgemeinschaft beschreiben. Um die Disziplin der Ökonomischen Bildung empirisch zu analysieren, eignen sich u.a. Untersuchungen der disziplinären Kommunikation, die beispielsweise in Fachzeitschriften sowie Tagungsbänden erfolgt. Diese enthält Informationen über Themen und Gegenstände sowie über die Mitglieder einer Scientific Community. In diesem Beitrag wird eine Publikationsanalyse mithilfe eines computerlinguistischen Topic-modeling-Verfahrens durchgeführt. Dazu werden Tagungsbände (N = 26, 380 Beiträge) der wissenschaftlichen Fachgesellschaft (Deutsche Gesellschaft für Ökonomische Bildung) analysiert. Die Ergebnisse zeigen, dass die Ökonomische Bildung als Disziplin in den vergangenen 30 Jahren gewachsen ist, sich ein personeller Kern etabliert hat, zunehmend wissenschaftlicher Nachwuchs eingebunden wird und es eine Zunahme an Kooperation und Vernetzung gibt. Weiterhin kann mithilfe des Themenmodells auf inhaltlicher Ebene gezeigt werden, dass die Ökonomische Bildung eine fachdidaktische Wissenschaftsdisziplin darstellt, die als Gegenstand die Ökonomische Bildung als Allgemeinbildung fokussiert.

Stress ist eine zentrale Herausforderung für Studierende. Diese Studie untersucht mit einem personenzentrierten Ansatz Zusammenhänge von Stress- und Copingprofilzugehörigkeit mit Stresssymptomen und Lebenszufriedenheit. Auf Basis der Angaben von 912 Studierenden wurden drei Stress- und vier Copingprofile identifiziert. Die Stressprofile unterscheiden die Höhe der Stressbelastung (leicht unterdurchschnittlich, leicht überdurchschnittlich, hoch), die Copingprofile die Fokussierung beziehungsweise Vernachlässigung einzelner Strategien (Verzicht auf Unterstützung-, Glaube-, Suchtmittel-, Durchschnitt-Coper). Sehr gestresste Personen nutzen häufiger maladaptive Copingstrategien, und Stress- und Copingprofilzugehörigkeit hängt mit Symptomen und Lebenszufriedenheit zusammen. Interaktionseffekte von Stress- und Copingprofilzugehörigkeit zeigen sich nicht. Implikationen für die Identifikation von Risikopersonen und die Stressbewältigung an der Hochschule werden diskutiert.

Fungi with wide range of diverse group are the primary component of environment. Environmental conditions like humidity, temperature, light, moisture are some major factors for their sustainable growth and diversity. The cellulite activity causes the maximum deterioration to library books, covers, materials, binding of papers. Fungal spores also known for many allergic diseases like respiratory syndromes, allergy to the library workers, members and readers. As library is the basic source of most of the cellulosic fungi, as it provides ambient temperature and moisture for their proliferation. The study investigated at the two different intervals of weeks in a month. In this study it revealed that resulted the most abundant species were: Aspergillus spp. (32.3%), spp. (13.8%), Alternaria spp. (23%), Cladosporium sp. (4.6%), Trichoderma species (7%), Chaetomium (1.2%) etc.

Gloriosa superba Linn (family Colchicaceae) is a tendril climber with cylindrical and V or L shaped rhizomes that has received much attention due to its ancient pharmacological uses and being a rich source of colchicine. The pharmacognostical profile of leaf, stem and rhizome were analysed to assure the grade of raw material in the proposed investigation. Moreover, the antioxidant capacity of ethanolic rhizome extract of G. superba (EREG) was assessed using DPPH radical scavenging assay. Simultaneously, we have evaluated the phytochemical profile of EREG by GC-MS and total phenolic content was performed as well. Transverse section (TS) of rhizome revealed thin layer of brownish scales that fabricate the outer skin. In addition, the cortical area made up of homogeneous fleshy and parenchymal cells filled with starch granules which is one of the superabundant diagnostic features of this plant. Pharmacognostical profile of leaf, stem and rhizome of the plant demonstrated the evidence of authenticity of this plant. Anti-scavenging capacity (IC50) and total phenolic content was 77.20% and 9.54 mg, GAE/g, respectively. The GC-MS library identified two phytoconstituents as diethyl phthalate (100% peak area) and arsenous acid, tris(trimethylsilyl) ester (22.68% peak area) whose vast benefits are reported in the fields of pharmaceuticals, industry and personal care products. Frivolous research work in the field of pharmacognosy, antioxidant ability and instrumental analysis for phytomolecules provides a vast avenue for research on G. superba.

Aerva lanata (L.) Juss. ex-Schultz, is a medicinally important herbal plant with many medicinal properties like the antihyperglycaemic, lithotriptic, urolithic, antibiotic, antihelmintic, antihyperlipidemic, antimicrobial and hepatoprotective activity that intrigued us to study and propagate this plant. As the plant displayed challenges in propagation by conventional methods, especially during the off-season, the in vitro multiplication method was deployed. During this experimentation, in vitro flowering for two consecutive years both during the on-season and off-season was recorded. L2 media fortified with 2.5 mg/L IBA, and 1.5 mg/L BAP emerged as the best media for proliferation and direct organogenesis. Resultant shoots were subcultured onto similar media fortified with 1 mg/L GA3 to get elongated inflorescences. As flowers and inflorescences are of great medicinal importance, these results aid in sustaining the plant during the off-season and find its application accordingly.

The present investigation deals with the folk knowledge of important woody medicinal plants species that are used by the rural folks of the five sites of Jalaun district of Bundelkhand region of Uttar Pradesh, India for the management of different kinds of ailments, found in these sites. The majority of the common vegetation in the Jalaun district is represented by tropical dry deciduous forest and scrub thorn forest. The ethnobotanical investigation revealed 51 woody plant species belonging to 46 genera and 31 families. In this investigation Caesalpiniaceae (5 sp.) was the dominant family followed by Mimosaceae, Moraceae (4 sp. each), Apocynaceae, Boraginaceae and Fabaceae (3 sp. each). Acacia catechu, Acacia nilotica, Azadirachta indica, Albizia lebbeck, Bauhinia variegata, Calotropis gigantea, Terminalia arjuna, Aegle marmelos, Justicia adhatoda, Ziziphus mauritiana and Dalbergia sissoo were the most common plant species in the district. The investigation reveals that there is not any involvement of younger generation in this research so such knowledge is at the risk of disappearance in the future.
