These studies were conducted to uncover the potential and traditional knowledge of aromatic and medicinal plants (AMP) in the Boulemane province of the Middle Atlas, an area previously unexplored. The objectives were to inventory and identify AMP used in the region’s traditional medicine, gather extensive information from locals and professionals on their usage and exploitation, and identify the most promising species for further studies, to be highlighted in future publications. The floristic study enabled the identification of 71 families out of 155 existing in Morocco, comprising 313 genera and 618 species and subspecies, which represent 11% of the global Moroccan floristic richness. Additionally, 84 taxa from 20 families are endemic with 78% being exclusive to Morocco. The ethnopharmacological study revealed that 88.47% of the informants use AMP for therapeutic purposes in 58.21% of the cases. A catalog of traditional practices was compiled, documenting 79 species across 38 families. Rosemary, sagebrush, pennyroyal, thyme, berber cedar, lavender sage, and clubroot were the most frequently cited species, mainly used to treat stomach and respiratory problems. However, only 17.6% of the population exploits this wealth through the creation of cooperatives and/or associations. This study assessed the role of AMP in fostering sustainable development in the region. The evaluation was based on a series of studies, with particular emphasis on the ethnopharmacological aspect. The latter has facilitated the promotion of awareness of sustainable usage practices and the training of professionals to implement these practices while ensuring the conservation of botanical resources against over-exploitation.

Fertilizers are important for plant growth, yield enhancement, and achieving food security, but overdose can have negative effects. This study sought to determine the impact of different fertilizer doses on soil properties, vegetative growth, fruit quality, and biochemical compounds of strawberry (Fragaria × ananassa Duch) cv. ‘Camarosa’. During the years 2022-2023, strawberry seedlings were grown in pots in a greenhouse. Four increasing dosages of fertilizers were applied. The results showed that following treatment, electrical conductivity and soil organic matter rose to maximum values of 176.26 µS. cm-1 and 2.63%, respectively, with d2 treatment. However, the pH was initially high before dropping considerably to 7.34 with d4 dosage. Treatment d1 was highly suggested for enhanced fruit number (5.8) and total yield (729 g. plant-1). The treatment d2 produced the highest fruit weight (24.3 g), volume (27.71 cm3), length (5.55 cm), and width (5.15 cm). The medium dose d3 drastically increased leaf area (2652.76 cm2), total soluble solids (7.4 °Brix), total phenols (1,332.54 mg GAE· L-1) and antioxidant activity (89.53%), but not significantly. The maximum petiole length (12.66 cm), petiole number (29.4), chlorophyll content, runners number (6), roots length (22.33 cm), fresh root and shoot weight (73.11 and 96.41 g), root and shoot dry weight (10.84 and 30.64 g), were recorded at d4 treatment. In control plants, all of these measures were lower, despite having higher fruit pH (3.72), titratable acidity (0.87%), and flowers number (4.40). In conclusion, increasing fertilizer doses may affect soil and strawberry plant qualities, and farmers must use them appropriately.

Published: October 2024

Our study aimed to characterize the composition of the ethyl acetate extract obtained from Centaurea acaulis L. and assess its dermatoprotective and antioxidant properties. The secondary metabolite composition was established by high-performance liquid chromatography combined with mass spectrometry. The antioxidant activity was assessed using four different assays, including DPPH, β-carotene, CUPRAC, and reducing power assays. Furthermore, the in vitro photoprotective effect was evaluated by measuring sun protection. The HPLC-TOF/MS analysis identified the presence of 19 bioactive compounds in the ethyl acetate extract. Major components such as rosmarinic acid and 4-hydroxy benzoic acid were detected, along with other compounds including caffeic acid, cichoric acid, gentisic acid, p-coumaric acid, protocatechuic acid, ferulic acid, vanilic acid, gallic acid, apigenin-7-glucoside, catechin, kaempferol, and quercetin. The ethyl acetate extract of Centaurea acaulis L. exhibited strong antioxidant activity in DPPH, β-carotene, CUPRAC, and reducing power assays, outperforming standard antioxidants such as butylated hydroxytoluene (BHT) and butylated hydroxyanisole (BHA), tannic acid, and ascorbic acid. Additionally, the extract demonstrated a high ability to absorb UV radiation, with an average sun protection factor of 40.20 ± 0.11. These findings highlight the significant antioxidant and dermatoprotective potential of the ethyl acetate extract from Centaurea acaulis L., suggesting its potential use in cosmetic and dietary additive formulations.

The accumulation of cadmium (Cd) in plants poses a major risk to consumer health, in addition to affecting plant growth, development and quality. The study aimed to examine the effects of cadmium on the plants' ability for photosynthesis and antioxidant enzyme activity. In this study, radishes were planted in Petri dishes and pots containing soil supplemented with different concentrations of cadmium sulphate (25, 50, and 100 mg Cd kg-1 soil). The results showed that the percentage of germination, seedlings length, and fresh and dry matter significantly declined its increasing cadmium concentrations. In addition, cadmium hindered plant growth, as evidenced by the fresh and dried weight of radish roots and leaves after a 100 mg Cd kg-1 soil treatment. There was also a notable decrease in chlorophyll a and chlorophyll b, total chlorophyll, and total leaf area per plant. The leaves of radish plant exhibited a significant increase in lipid peroxidation and electrolyte leakage contents under Cd stress, while, the relative water content (RWC) decreased. However, leaves and roots of radish plant showed a considerable increase in antioxidant enzymes (catalase; CAT, peroxidase; POD, and superoxide dismutase; SOD). Furthermore, radish showed a significant increase in Cd accumulation in all applications, however, there were no obvious symptoms of Cd toxicity following the 25 and 50 mg Cd kg-1 soil applications. In conclusion, the radish plants accumulated cadmium at higher concentrations (100 mg Cd kg-1 soil). So, we recommended cultivating the radish plants in soil that has low concentrations of cadmium.

Due to their intensive cultivation, horticultural crops are particularly susceptible and vulnerable to the detrimental effects of drought stress, necessitating significant water inputs for optimal growth and yield. Accordingly, water-saving irrigation strategies, i.e., Partial Root zone Drying (PRD) and Regulated Deficit Irrigation (RDI) emerge as pivotal tools for bolstering the resilience of the horticultural sector. The current study aims to evaluate the impact of PRD and RDI strategies on pepper (Capsicum annuum L.) growth, and physio-biochemical attributes under semi-controlled greenhouse conditions. Research findings revealed pronounced enhancements in stem length under both irrigation strategies, with PRD exhibiting superior effects on shoot fresh and dry biomass (increases of 57.2% and 61.1%, respectively) compared to full irrigation. At the physiological level, PRD and RDI induced a significant reduction in stomatal conductance in pepper plants relative to full irrigation, while maintaining leaf water potential and relative water content. Biochemically, plants subjected to PRD and RDI methods exhibited significant accumulation of free proline, particularly pronounced with PRD (approximately 115.9% increase compared to full irrigation). Furthermore, Chl a and carotenoid concentration significantly increased under PRD, indicating sustained photosynthetic functionality. Comparatively, PRD appears as the more effective technique, offering the potential to conserve agricultural water about 50 without compromising growth parameters, while simultaneously enhancing tolerance traits in C. annuum. Nonetheless, further investigations on other traits across diverse soil types, climates, and cultivars under field conditions are imperative to ascertain the broader applicability of PRD and optimize its implementation.

Frente à baixa produção de conteúdos voltados para as pessoas velhas - grupo considerado como mais vulnerável à pandemia causada pela doença nomeada pela OMS como Coronavírus Disease 2019 (covid-19) - coube às organizações populares a tarefa de traduzir as informações de cuidados sanitários para os diferentes grupos compreendidos nessa categoria populacional. Esse artigo propõe apresentar o Guia de comunicação com as pessoas velhas do campo. O material surge a partir dos hiatos percebidos nas narrativas de sujeitos que vivenciam o envelhecimento na realidade do campo pernambucano em confronto com as ausências deles nos conteúdos produzidos por comunicadores(as) populares e profissionais, durante a pandemia de 2020. Trata-se de uma pesquisa-ação, fundamentada na dialética marxiana, desenvolvida no período de janeiro a setembro de 2022, em Pernambuco, com população do campo da Zona da Mata, do Agreste e do Sertão. A análise do Discurso do Sujeito Coletivo (DSC), com enfoque crítico, foi o caminho utilizado para a verificação das narrativas. Conclui-se que a escuta e coparticipação dos sujeitos em diálogo horizontalizado é fundamental para a efetividade da produção de conteúdos no âmbito da vigilância em saúde. Esses conteúdos precisam estar ao alcance do público pretendido, quer tanto pela linguagem e apresentação gráfica, como pela escolha do veículo. Aponta-se, por fim, a importância de ampliar o debate sobre o envelhecimento humano e a comunicação na perspectiva do direito, enquanto campo científico e como estratégia de pertencimento e reconhecimento das pessoas velhas nos seus respectivos territórios.

Published: October 2024

Este estudo investiga o desenvolvimento do conceito de alfabetização no Brasil, enfatizando suas transformações históricas e implicações políticas. A partir de uma pesquisa qualitativa, bibliográfica e documental, analisa como a alfabetização, inicialmente relacionada apenas ao domínio da leitura e escrita, passou a ser compreendida como uma prática social mais ampla, englobando diferentes tipos de alfabetização (visual, científica, digital, etc.). O trabalho destaca o impacto das políticas públicas no processo educacional, especialmente na formação de sujeitos críticos e emancipados. A pesquisa é organizada em três momentos: contextualização histórica, conceitual e análise das perspectivas contemporâneas, propondo caminhos possíveis para uma alfabetização mais inclusiva e transformadora. Os resultados revelam que a alfabetização no Brasil é um campo em disputa política, cujo conceito varia conforme as demandas sociais, culturais, políticas e ideológicas, e que exige uma abordagem que supere a mera decodificação de símbolos e, de fato, inclua uma compreensão crítica da realidade social.

Este artigo compõe parte de uma pesquisa desenvolvida no curso de mestrado do Programa de Pós-Graduação em Currículo e Gestão da Escola Básica (PPEB), da Universidade Federal do Pará (UFPA), e tem como objetivo analisar os espaços de vida ribeirinhos e suas contribuições na elaboração de políticas educacionais para o ensino fundamental local. Historicamente, a educação no Brasil tem, como prática, a homogeneização do padrão da pedagogia escolar, tendo como base o urbanocentrismo, pois não considera as diversidades de saberes e culturas, reproduzidas nos espaços dos campos, das florestas e das águas. Para alcançar o objetivo, elegeu-se a abordagem qualitativa, onde foi realizada pesquisa bibliográfica (Gil, 2010), buscando autores que discutem a temática e o levantamento do material. Os estudos revelam que não há predominância dos saberes dos povos tradicionais ribeirinhos na construção de um currículo e que estratégias precisam ser pensadas para integrar esses conhecimentos na organização de planejamentos.

Published: October 2024

The research aims to determine a living model that is eco-environmental and sustainable. Climate change and scarcity of resources have led world policymakers, along with the United Nations, to set guidelines in the form of 17 sustainable development goals (SDGs). Sustainable production consumption is one of the major issues that is considered worldwide, including the SDG mission of the University ranking under SDG12.The paper proposes a new model development for sustainable consumption production using multi-criteria decision-making of the Fuzzy Analytical Hierarchy Process (FAHP) under the 5P principle. The questionnaire was designed and distributed to sample populations in the community, and the analysis was done under the FAHP procedure. The research area focused on green space near Bangkok, Bang Kachao. It is one of six local governmental units (Tambon) in Phra Pradaeng district located in Samut Prakran province, Thailand.It was found out that people concerned the most sustainable production consumption using natural local materials at 25.09%, followed by making community products by green industry at 12.42% and making local green products at 6.18%. From the development of the multi-modelling framework, the paper proposes a new model of the urban community in Thailand for sustainable production consumption to support SDG12 using FAHP for multi-decision making based on the 5P principle. There are people, porosity, planet, peace, and partnership.However, various factors influence production and consumption and impact the carbon footprint.It was obviously found that people mostly use local materials to make green local products under the local policy of 3R waste management. Innovative design uses community wisdom, knowledge and know-how to make value-added products.The strategic planning and control consist of green industry, zero waste management, zero carbon footprint and innovative product design. The expected outputs from the model are green and homemade products with cleaner production, clean energy, and gain carbon credit.
Prediction of the process capability for compression rubber part forming in the automotive supply chain
Authors: Butdee S. , Tangchaidee K.
Published: October 2024

The paper proposes predicting production process capability for the compression rubber part in automotive supply chain management. Delivery of parts to tier 1 and OEM on time is the most important part of supply chain management, together with the delivery of on-quality and on-cost control to maintain the competitiveness of the supply chain. There are many suppliers to produce many automotive parts for tier 1. Therefore, the simulation approach properly predicts and prevents the process from getting into trouble during the actual production time. Production process quality control is critical to ensure that the good quality of the parts purchased can be delivered on time. Rubber parts are used widely in automotive, motorcycles, trucks, and other types of vehicles, with small sizes but in huge quantities to support general OEM brands and specific parts. The rubber part manufacturing process is complex and uncertain with compression moulding and rubber curing conditions. Therefore, good conditions can predict the production process's capability to commission and deliver on schedule.A neuro-fuzzy system is adopted and developed to deal with the uncertain process capability under multi-criteria decision-making.The methodology development can be used in the actual rubber part manufacturing supply chain environment and can predict uncertain problems that might occur in the subcontractor factories.The prediction of the production process capability of the rubber part supply chain might be more effective on the real-time monitoring control system and can be tracking location part progress for further planning both success or rescheduling.The platform can be applied to audit and test the actual industrial supply chain, and problem and research questions are brought about from the real supply chain in the local country.The methodology development was originally created for the particular supply chain in rubber automotive parts that can replace the existing system to obtain a more efficient performance evaluation process.
Reflecting on the 1775 Mount Gamalama Eruption: Lessons from Indigenous Knowledge for Sustainable Development in Ternate Island, North Maluku Province, Indonesia
Authors: Ham Charles Mekardi
Published: October 2024

The volcanic Molucca islands have provided the world with their precious cloves, which have been highly valued in medicinal properties for millennia. Cloves have antibacterial, antiviral, and analgesic characteristics. They were considered silver bullet cures in medieval epidemics and the early COVID-19 pandemic response. Cloves originated from Ternate Island, the center and regional trade hub of the Molucca Islands. Its cloves had reached Babylonia 4,000 years ago, marking its importance in global trade. Qualitative research was conducted on the 1775 Mount Gamalama eruption's impact on indigenous knowledge development. To confirm the findings, I conducted field visits, key informant interviews, field observations, and a literature review. Tolire Lake is an apparent landmark in Takome village, which has a sacred white crocodile, a java plum hill, a lush forest, stunning landscapes, and an underwater mythical village. The residents are testaments to human resilience, preserving indigenous knowledge and turning it into disaster risk reduction tools. They built settlements on safer ground and designated parts areas for conservation-based tourism. In addition, modern science introduction enhances disaster early warning and alert systems and empowers indigenous communities. Understanding indigenous knowledge and wisdom is critical to building resilience and sustainability through disaster risk reduction (DRR) efforts. Indigenous knowledge produces lessons in environmental protection, social justice, and economic growth. The world can learn from indigenous and scientific knowledge combined to sustain the island, its people, and its prosperity.

Background: Asthma is a long-term inflammatory respiratory condition marked by alterations in the airways and an increase in inflammatory cell infiltration. It has been observed that Curcumin possesses immune-modulating, anti-inflammatory, and relaxing properties for smooth muscle in the airways. Salmeterol is believed to ease the smooth muscles of the airways.
Objective: Swiss Albino mice were used in the research to examine the combination anti-asthmatic effects of Curcumin and Salmeterol in asthma produced by ova albumin and milk induced eosinophilia and leucocytosis.
Methods: The mice received pre-treatment with Curcumin (10 mg/kg, 20 mg/kg intraperitoneally) as well as Salmeterol (5 mg/kg) after being stimulated with an Ovalbumin (OVA) challenge and milk. After the induction period, various hematological, biochemical, molecular (ELISA), and histological analyses were performed.
Results: The findings demonstrated that the combined treatment decreased the animal’s overall leukocyte and eosinophil numbers in a manner that was dose-dependent. Additionally, the therapy reduced albumin and overall protein amount in serum, BALF and lung tissues, facilitated changes in haematological parameters, and reduced the rise of Th2 cytokines (IL-4, TNF-α, IL-13) levels that is induced by OVA in lungs and BALF, total IgE level in serum. The combined action of Curcumin and Salmeterol reduced OVA-induced inflammatory influx and ultrastructural abnormalities, according to histopathological evaluation.
Conclusion: The findings of this investigation demonstrate that curcumin and salmeterol together possess anti-asthmatic effects through suppressing Th2 triggered immune response and possessing an anti-inflammatory effect and anti-allergic effect. Thus combination of treatments might be a novel technique for managing asthma.
ԴՐԱՄԱԿԱՆ ԱՆՎԱՆՈՒՄՆԵՐԻ ԱՐՏԱՑՈԼՈՒՄԸ ՀԱՅԿԱԿԱՆ ՎԻՄԱԳՐԵՐՈՒՄ (ՀԱՅ.) / REFLECTION OF MONETARY NAMES IN ARMENIAN LAPIDAR INSCRIPTIONS
Authors: Manucharyan Ashot
Published: October 2024

Based on the rich Armenian epigraphic material, which has come down to us mainly from the developed Middle Ages, we see that money is most often embodied in the following terms: DAHEKAN (DEKAN), DUCAT, DRAM, SPITAK (SPITAK SULTANI), STAK, TANGKA, KINEIN (K), TUMAN, DIAN.
Spitak sultani, tanga, kineyin(k), dian are found in the lapidary inscriptions known to us only once.
Dram is mainly mentioned from the period of the Bagratuni kingdom (874/885 – 1045) until the tenth years of the 13th century. It was Arabic silver ﻡﻫﺭﺩ (dirham) weighing 2.97 grams.
Since the reign of Bagratuni, the gold coin of the Dahekan (4.20 – 4.40 g) was used along with the dram until the first half of the 14th century. The ratio of dahekans to dram was 1:10.
Since the middle of the 11th century, in addition to the dram and dahekan, we have seen in circulation in Armenia the European gold ducat coin (weight: 3.5 g, gold fineness: 980). During this period, the ducat had a ratio of 1:1.5 to dahekan. The ducat was also used in lapidary inscriptions at the end of the 13th century.
In the 13th – 14th centuries, the most popular currency in Armenia was Spitak (white), which, as the name suggests, was originally a silver coin. Spitak was certainly a Mongolian coin that weighed 2.74 – 2.83 grams of silver. Seljuk silver coins (spitak sultani) and Mongolian copper coins (weighing 3 – 5 g) were also in circulation.
From the middle of the 15th century to the middle of the 17th century, stak was mainly in circulation in Armenia. True, the name stack, according to Hr. Acharyan, comes from the word spitak (white), which suggests that it was a silver coin, but it had an unprecedented and unique value.
With a comparative epigraphic study, it is revealed that 1 stak was equal to 15 – 20 ducats, 20 – 25 dahekans, 100 – 150 spitaks, 200 – 250 drams, and also 4 tumans.
The latter is most often found in Armenian lapidary inscriptions of the mid-17th – mid-19th centuries.
ԿՇՌԱՔԱՐ` ՀԱՅՏՆԱԲԵՐՎԱԾ ԱՐՏԱՇԱՏ ՄԱՅՐԱՔԱՂԱՔԻ ՏԱՐԱԾՔԻՑ (ՀԱՅ.) / SCALE WEIGHT FOUND IN TERRITORY OF ANCIENT CAPITAL ARTASHAT

Published: October 2024

Scale weights of the ancient period are rare, so every such find can be a new word not only in the Armenia’s history of the economy and culture, but also in antique archaeology of the region. Unfortunately, the scale weight that is the subject of the article was not found during the excavations, but was acquired from a private person. This does not allow a full study of the weight in its archaeological environment, which could have answered more questions. There are almost no data on the discovery of ancient weights from Armenia, including the capital of Artashat. At first glance, it seems strange, especially if we take into account the large number of foreign coins, several thousand sealings and imported luxury objects found in the territory of Artashat, which are evidence of the city as a developed trade center.
The bronze weight from in the territory of Artashat has the shape of a scallop seashell and weights 135.89 g, which corresponds to ten shekels according to the Tyrian light weight standard. The weight of the shekel/tetradrachm/stater, the main unit of the monetary system of Phoenician Tyre, varies from 12.5 to 14.5 grams and weighs lighter than the Attic tetradrachm (about 15.5 – 17.5 grams).
The standard of the weight, which corresponds to the Jewish-Phoenician weight system, gives reason to assume that it came to Artashat from the Levant region, more precisely from the Jewish-Palestinian world. The coins of Tyre with Melqart/Heracles on the obverse and an eagle on the reverse became money that the Jews paid the temple tax. These coins were issued in Tyrian lighter weight standard used in Jewish-Palestinian world. This weight-monetary system is discussed in Armenian medieval sources detailed in context of Bible metrology.
The fact that Artashat had close relations with Judea and, probably, there was a Jewish community here, is evidenced both by written sources and by the Judean coins found during excavations of Armenian ancient capital. The bronze scale weight dates from the 2nd – 1st centuries BC, which can be considered as evidence of trade and economic relations between Hellenistic Armenia and the countries of the Levant.

Published: October 2024

The Urartian royal bowls constitute a unique and extraordinarily interesting group of materials. They are, in fact, the only known objects that were definitely the ruler’s personal property and were most likely used in the ruler’s daily life with a drinking or eating purpose.
The origin of the Urartian royal bowls can be detected in those processes of Assyrianization that began in the middle-Assyrian period, and found their climax thanks to Sarduri (I). As for the inspiration and reference models to which the Urartians looked, one can refer directly to the figure of the Assyrian king Aššurnaṣirpal II, ruler of Assyria between 883 and 859 BC (Frahm 2017, 615), who is depicted several times holding a bowl on the reliefs of his Northwest Palace in Kalḫu/Nimrud. The king is most often depicted in the act of drinking, in audience or ritual situations, when he is represented between winged genii. A substantial difference between Assyrian and Urartian bowls is the material from which they are made, which in Assyria is essentially precious, such as gold and silver (Dan-Bonfanti forthcoming; Hussein 2016), whereas in Urartu it is solely bronze, whose high percentage of tin inside makes the bowls appear to be golden.
The later developments in the tradition of making these bowls are also interesting: it is important to note that the two traditions, Assyrian and Urartian, diverged in later centuries, as is the case with most of the Urartian adoptions from Assyria. If, in fact, we are aware of a series of extraordinary objects made of precious materials referable to the Assyrian queens of the 8th and 7th centuries BC found in their tombs at Nimrud, which allow us to observe how the tradition continued substantially unchanged over the centuries. In Urartu, on the other hand, we see a progressive morphological simplification, with a complete disappearance of the grooves, but a greater richness in the iconographic apparatus, with the inclusion of a highly selected set of symbolic elements that will make, especially from the time of Argišti (I) onwards, the Urartian royal bowl the most iconic and symbolic object of Urartian kingship. In fact, the Urartian bowls are objects made of metal, a production in which the Urartians certainly excelled; they bore cuneiform inscriptions, the highest element of Urartian royal expression; and iconographically, they presented few but highly evocative representations that may show a polysemic interpretation, but were always connected to kingship. The bowls are most likely the most recognisable object associated with the Urartian court.

Principal component regression analysis to predict lifetime milk yield of Jaffarabadi buffaloes
Authors: Dangar Nikhil , Vataliya Pravin
Published: October 2024

The study aims to devise most appropriate prediction model for lifetime milk production of Jaffarabadi Buffalo, based on principal components formulated on initially expressed lactation records as predictors. Lactation milk yield, lactation period and peak milk yield records of first, second and third lactations of animals under study were used of 24 years (1987 to 2010). Principal components (PCs) were derived from data set using principal component regression analysis (PCRA), the principal components were used as predictors for predicting lifetime milk yield (LTMY). Multiple linear regression models were fitted to identify the best fitted model for prediction of lifetime milk yield with the first principal component to all principal component as a predictor. The equation LTMY = 7825.8768+2.8118 (PC1) - 13.7098 (PC2) - 599.0908 (PC3) + 3.0266 (PC4) - 8.8196 (PC5) - 257.9315 (PC6) + 2.6042 (PC7) explained 98.9% variation in the estimated values with adjusted R2= 59.09% variation in the estimated values. The curve estimation analysis showing the appropriateness of first seven principal components as predictor was the most appropriate model for lifetime milk yield. These prediction equations may be helpful in selection at an early stage of Jaffarabadi Buffalo based on early part lactation records.
