Medicinal plants are a rich source of naturally occurring substances utilized in treating a wide range of diseases; as a result, they serve as the basis for discovering new drugs. Research has focused on the relationship between endophytic microorganisms and host plants, as they produce a variety of secondary metabolites with significant biological functions. This study aimed to extract the endophytic fungi from various plant parts, including the roots, barks, and leaves of the Cyathea contaminans (Hook) Copel, which was collected from Kerinci, Jambi, Indonesia. By employing direct planting and pouring techniques with fungal culture media, the fungi were separated from the roots, stems, hairs, and leaves of C. contaminans and grown on rice media. The secondary metabolite of the fungus was extracted using ethyl acetate. The extracts were then tested for antimicrobial activity using a disk diffusion assay against microbial pathogens Staphylococcus aureus ATCC29213, Escherichia coli ATCC25922, and Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA). This research yielded 19 endophyte fungi. In the antibacterial activity screening results, four fungal strains (CBK3, CDK1, CDK4, and CAK2) were active against S. aureus, MRSA, and E. coli, with an inhibition zone in the range of 15.08 ± 0.854 to 23.52 ± 0.87 mm. All active fungal isolates were identified molecularly. CBK3 and CDK1 were Paecilomyces subglobosus PP510226 and Penicillium citrinum PP510227, respectively, while CDK4 and CAK2 were comparable to Aspergillus terreus PP510229 and Aspergillus terreus PP510228. The four endophytic fungi of Cyathea contaminans may be a new source of antibacterial compounds.

Aeffect
Authors: Duncombe Stephen 
Published: October 2024

The past decade has seen an explosion in the hybrid practice of “artistic activism,” as artists have turned toward activism to make their work more socially impactful and activists have adopted techniques and perspectives from the arts to make their interventions more creative. But does the practice work? Does artistic activism work aesthetically? Does it work politically? And what does “working” even mean when one combines art and activism? Æffect is the first book to seriously explore and interrogate the affect and effect of artistic activism. This exploration is grounded in three interconnected inquiries. The first is a Theory of Change. Upon what theory, or theories, of change is artistic activism based? The second set of questions have to do with Intention. What do we hope and expect artistic activism to do? And how does it do this? The final issue is Evaluation. What is the impact of artistic activist interventions? Can it be measured? Written by the co-founder and current Research Director of the internationally recognized Center for Artistic activism, Æffect is based on more than a hundred in-depth interviews with artistic activists from around the world and twenty-five years of experience in the field. More than a mere academic exercise, the theory and research in this book lay the groundwork for a methodology to evaluate and strengthen the practice. The aim of this book is not only to know more about how artistic activism works, but also to make it work better.
How Artistic Activism Works
Authors: Duncombe Stephen 
Published: October 2024

Underlying any practice that aims at having an impact is a theory of change. In this chapter, major theories of change are explained and a theory of change for artistic activism is developed. Using the writings of Matthew Arnold, Karl Marx, and Gustave Le Bon, I outline Idealist, Materialist, and Affective theories of change. Supplementing these historical theorists, I draw upon the words of live artistic activists to explore how practitioners understand how social change works. Yet, all the artistic activists interviewed do not cleanly line up in Idealist, Materialist or Affective camps. Instead, we see inter-relationships between the three spheres, with “culture” as the mediating factor. “Shifting culture,” “making culture,” “queering culture,” “transforming culture”—this is how artistic activists understand social change. With an assist from Stuart Hall and Raymond Williams, the centrality of Culture and culture in influencing ideas, emotions, and actions is used to understand artistic activism as an intervening force within Idealism, Materialist and Affective theories of change.
Parasite: Liberia, 1926
Authors: Mitman Gregg 
Published: October 2024

In the West African republic of Liberia, parasites have mobilized immense amounts of capital, people, and expertise. Research invested in by Firestone Tire & Rubber Company aimed to ensure that its plan to build what would become the world’s largest contiguous rubber plantation met with success. Firestone regarded parasitic diseases as a drain on the productive efficiency of laborers, capable of eating up the company’s valuable investment capital. The term parasite comes from the ancient Greek, παράσιτος‎ a person who eats at the table of another. In Liberian English usage “eating” is characterized as “using up,” the act of making disappear what is there to be shared. Through its establishment of a plantation economy, dependent upon large-scale land dispossession and the appropriation of vast amounts of indigenous labor, Firestone itself might be seen as a macroparasite eating up lives and livelihoods in Liberia, a parasite that left the country in a chronic state of underdevelopment.

Published: October 2024

The goal of fetal heart rate monitoring has been early identification of the fetus at risk for hypoxic insult. The aim of this study is to establish the relation between FHR monitoring (CTG, intermittent auscultation) and fetal outcome and mode of delivery. It is prospective observational comparative study carried out in Zawia hospital maternity word. Study population consists of 200 women in labor having the criteria of low risk group included singleton pregnancies between 37 - 40 weeks gestation, half of them monitored by intermittent auscultation and the other half by CTG. In this study, 200 women, 100 of them fetal monitoring was done by continuous electronic monitoring by CTG, the other monitored by intermittent auscultation by pinard stethoscope. Caesarean sections were performed for 31% and 6% of both groups (electronic monitoring and pinard stethoscope) respectively, statistically significant. There are three cases delivered by instrumental delivery (ventose) one in CTG and two in fetoscpo group. Abnormality in fetal heart rate was detected in (12%) of electronic monitoring group (3.5%) of the pinard stethoscope group. The apgar score of babies in both group nearly the same (p = 0.411). The babies whose transferred in intensive care unit is higher in CTG group (26 - 20%, 9 - 6%, p = 0.374). One in CTG group has neonatal seizure. It is concluded that abnormalities in fetal heart rate were more reliably detected by electronic monitoring than with pinard stethoscope. Uses of continuous electronic monitoring carry high rate of cesarean section with no significant difference in neonatal outcome.

Community schools and institution schools are providing education for children in Nepal. The community schools are fully government funded and institutional school are not funded run by themselves from the student fees and other monitory sources. The professional developmental activity for community school teachers is conducted by government sector and the institutional schoolteachers are deprived from such opportunity. This study aimed to examine the factors associated with teachers’ professional development. Mixed methods research design along with sequential explorative involving quantitative followed by qualitative (Quan+Qual) had been employed in this study. Ten schools including five community schools and five institutional schools from Bhaktapur district were purposively selected. Total 40 mathematics and Nepali teachers including 20 from each community schools and institutional school were taken as respondents. The respondents were sent Google form by mentioning the variable as monitory and non-monitory incentives for teacher professional development. The response obtained from the Google form were tabulated in excel sheet to form percentage of frequency table. The findings revealed that the monitory incentives such as salary (95.5%), allowance and bonus (80%), insurance (77.5%) have high impact for teacher professional development and non-monitory incentives embraces promotion and security (87.5%), training and field visit (87.5%), attending in international conference (75%), inauguration (72.5%), praise and rewards (65%) have also commentary role for TPD. The monitory incentives play vital role for strengthening the professional efficacy of teacher. Likewise, non-monitory incentives are also the paramount importance as monitory incentives and lacks behind in the absence of it in the lines of teacher’s professional growth.
Recollection of Myths and Linguistic Construction of the Marwari Identity
Authors: Goswami Rashmika , Shougrakpam Dhanapati 
Published: October 2024

Marwari is one of the widely spoken languages in Rajasthan, with 45–50 million people speaking it in the Marwar region of western Rajasthan, India. Although historically linked with the Mahajani script, Marwari is usually written in the Devanagari script indicating the broader socio-cultural changes that take place within the society. They have developed their own socio-cultural identity, molded by both internal and external factors. The present study is carried out to examine how these changes, including dialectal differences, form and are affected by the linguistic construction of Marwari identity. The Marwaris of Rajasthan are seen to confront a variety of obstacles in terms of preservation, standardization, and recognition, particularly in the context of national and regional identity movements. So, this study addresses the research problem by examining how the linguistic practices, including dialectal variants, contribute to the development and reinforcement of Marwari identity, as well as how these practices have evolved over time in response to sociopolitical influences. The data gathered for this study are based on sociolinguistic approach, including qualitative interviews, participant observation, and textual analysis to explore the changing relation between language and identity. It also focuses on the mythological, historical, and sociopolitical settings of Marwari identity assertion movements, examining their impact on linguistic outcomes. Thus, this study reveals that in Marwari community, the dialectal variances are not only related to linguistic differences but they are intricately linked to socio-cultural identity, influencing how Marwari speakers see themselves and are regarded by others. It also emphasizes the need for deeper understanding of knowledge on how language and identity interact within the Marwari-speaking community, as well as insights into the larger dynamics of language preservation and cultural continuity.

Published: October 2024

English has become an international language and has been used in the whole world as a primary mode of communication. Unfortunately, English speaking has become a challenge for students and a hurdle in communicating with other nations. Objectives: To assess the motivation and attitude toward English learning among Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN) students at the Akhtar Saeed Medical College of Nursing. Methods: This current study employed a quantitative design. A questionnaire-based cross-sectional survey was conducted at Akhtar Saeed Medical College of Nursing, Lahore, Pakistan. Data were collected from a sample of sixty-six BS Nursing students out of a population of two hundred, selected using the convenience sampling technique. The research tool used for this study was adopted from Gardner’s Attitude/Motivation Test Battery (AMTB). An analysis of the gathered data was conducted using SPSS statistics IBM 26. Results: The findings showed nursing students as highly motivated. More than 80% of students know its importance in career advancement, Job opportunities, getting a Grade ‘A’, higher education, knowledge advancement, and going abroad. Half of the students showed a positive attitude. Few students showed negative attitudes due to the anxiety of making mistakes while speaking in front of others. Conclusions: It was concluded that after analyzing the results It is clear that although students are driven to study English, they are afraid to speak in front of others. Because of the small sample size, more studies on a larger sample and in other Pakistani educational institutions should be done in the future.

A comunidade surda atua com persistência por espaço e reconhecimento diante da sociedade ouvinte. A Libras é uma língua estruturada e desenvolvida para auxiliar a comunicação entre as pessoas surdas e ouvintes. A comunidade surda vivenciou uma trajetória histórica de muita luta para a conquista dessa língua, e dos seus direitos cidadãos. Como objetivo do trabalho buscou-se apreender os aspectos históricos, linguísticos e culturais implicados no uso da Libras. Com esse propósito, a proposta metodológica seguiu os princípios da pesquisa qualitativa com a utilização do estudo bibliográfico. Como resultado da pesquisa, para elucidar detalhes sobre o oralismo, uma prática na qual o surdo era tratado como alguém que teria que aprender a língua portuguesa de forma sinalizada e os retrocessos que afetaram sua formação educacional, o bilinguismo emerge como sendo uma opção de ensino. Apesar da relação de desigualdade entre surdos e ouvintes no tocante a essa proposta, pois a perspectiva que ainda impera é a do ouvinte, ficando a comunidade surda, enquanto minoria, sempre em segundo plano. Ademais, a Libras como qualquer outra língua, é viva e dinâmica, sendo importante que a comunidade surda esteja sempre envolvida, interagindo e exercendo sua cidadania e sempre voltada para a busca de uma educação contextualizada com maiores possibilidades de romper as concepções estereotipadas sobre a surdez como deficiência e incapacidade intelectual.
