 New record Lampung Province: Way Canguk Forest.
 Previous records from Sumatra
 Only listed for Sumatra (van Strien, 1996; Suyanto et al., 2002; Simmons, 2005), but no locality records given.
 Remarks
 A single male was collected by previous researchers from Way Canguk Forest (MZB 31483). This finding confirms the record of this large species of Murininae in Sumatra. It is a widespread species from India to Southeast Asia, China, and Taiwan (Simmons, 2005), but is rare across all its range. We do not consider it as Harpiocephalus mordax, because recent evidence suggests that H. mordax is an invalid name based on a female H. harpia (Matveev, 2005; Matveev and Csorba, 2007).

description: We present deep JHK photometry of the old and metal-rich open cluster NGC 6791. The photometry reaches below the main sequence turn-off to K = 16.5 mag. We combine our photometry with that from Stetson, Bruntt, & Grundahl (2003) to provide color-magnitude diagrams showing K vs. J-K, K vs. V-K, and V vs. V-K. We study the slope of the red giant branch in the infrared, but find that it is not a useful metallicity indicator for the cluster, nor any metal-rich cluster that lacks a well-populated red giant branch, because it is not linear, as has often been assumed, in K vs. J-K. The mean color of the red horizontal branch/red clump stars provide an estimate the cluster reddening, E(B-V) = 0.14 +/- 0.04 mag for [Fe/H] = +0.4 +/- 0.1. The mean magnitudes of these stars also provide a good distance estimate, (m-M)_0 = 13.07 +/- 0.04. Finally, we find that the isochrones of Yi, Kim, & Demarque (2003) provide optimal fits in V vs. B-V and V-K and K vs. J-K and V-K for such values if [Fe/H] lies between +0.3 and +0.5 (with a slight preference for +0.5) and ages between 9 Gyrs ([Fe/H] = +0.3) and 7.5 Gyrs ([Fe/H] = +0.5).

description: We study the large distance behavior of a steady distribution of two Brownian particles under external driving in a two-dimensional space. Employing a method of perturbative system reduction, we analyze a Fokker-Planck equation that describes the time evolution of the probability density for the two particles. The expression we obtain shows that there exist a long range correlation between the two particles, of $1/r^2$ type.

HERBAL REMEDIES IN PHARMACOTHERAPY:  A COMPREHENSIVE REVIEW
Creators: name: Mr. Abhishek Pandhari Kale*, Sunil S. Bhagat, Dr. Swati P. Deshmukh
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2024

description: Herbal remedies have been utilized in traditional medicine for centuries and are now gaining renewed attention in modern pharmacotherapy. This comprehensive review explores the role of herbal medicines in treating various diseases, including cardiovascular, metabolic, neurological, oncological, and gastrointestinal disorders. The pharmacological actions of widely used medicinal plants such as Hawthorn, Garlic, Fenugreek, Bitter Melon, Ginkgo biloba, and Curcumin are discussed, emphasizing their mechanisms at the molecular and cellular levels. While herbal therapies offer promising alternative treatments, challenges such as herbal-drug interactions, safety concerns, and standardization issues remain significant obstacles. Advances in herbal drug delivery systems, such as nanoparticles and liposomes, are enhancing the bioavailability and therapeutic efficacy of these natural compounds. However, the lack of consistent regulations, mislabeling, and insufficient clinical evidence hinders the full integration of herbal remedies into mainstream medicine. Future prospects highlight the need for rigorous research, personalized approaches, and collaboration between traditional and modern practitioners to optimize the use of herbal pharmacotherapy. This review provides a foundation for understanding the potential, limitations, and future directions of herbal remedies in modern healthcare.

description: The decomposition of the energy of a compressible fluid parcel into slow (deterministic) and fast (stochastic) components is interpreted as a stochastic Hamiltonian interacting particle system (HIPS). It is shown that the McKean-Vlasov equation associated to the mean field limit yields the barotropic Navier-Stokes equation with density dependent viscosity. Capillary forces can also be treated by this approach. Due to the Hamiltonian structure the mean field system satisfies a Kelvin circulation theorem along stochastic Lagrangian paths.

description: The paper draws on findings from research in South Sulawesi and Jambi Provinces, Indonesia, looking at the role of collective action in helping two local community groups enhance their bargaining power vis a vis other market players (such as collectors, small- and large-scale industries) and promote an increased demand for non-timber forest products. The first group has traditionally collected rattan (Calamus sp) from surrounding forests and was struggling to sell their products at a better price amid market uncertainties and the lack of supportive government policies. The second one was involved in the propagation of another high-value rattan species, widely known as Dragon Blood (Daemonorops sp), in anticipation of an increased market demand for this product. The paper describes challenges and opportunities for the country’s forestry decentralization and marketing of forest products, and the role of collective action in improving groups’ access to government resources and markets. It also discusses the research team’s part in facilitating the groups and highlights the strengths of participatory action research approach in fostering collective action among local stakeholders.

Peninsular tube-nosed bat
 New records Lampung Province: Sukaraja Forest.
 New material
One bat was collected as a voucher specimen. Lampung Province: Sukaraja Forest: 1♀ (MZB 35799).
 Previous records from Sumatra
 Lampung Province: Way Canguk Forest (Soisook et al., 2013 — material from the present study).
 Remarks
 Individuals of this medium-large Murina were captured with harp traps between 50–505 m a.s.l. in primary forests. The upperparts of the bat are orange-brown and the underparts grayish white. The crown area of the first upper premolar (P 2) is approximately 80% of that of the second upper premolar (P 4). The color pattern and the relatively larger P 2 suggest that this is a species of the cyclotis complex. Recent studies have recognized four species of the complex in the Southeast Asia, including M. cyclotis, M. fionae, M. guilleni, and M. peninsularis (Francis and Eger, 2012; Soisook et al., 2013). Our samples have similar body size (FA = 35.0–39.4; BM = 8.3–12.0 g) to M. fionae (FA = 34.5–40.1 mm; BM = 6.6 g) and M. peninsularis (FA = 33.8–39.4 mm; BM = 5.5–11.9 g) but are larger than M. cyclotis (FA = 29.4–36.8 mm; BM = 5.0– 6.1 g) and M. guilleni (FA = 35.0– 39.4 mm; BM = 3.0–8.0 g) (Soisook et al., 2013). Based on a DNA barcoding analysis of four samples from BBSNP (MZB35006, 35007, 35885, 35886), Soisook et al. (2013) confirmed the presence of M. peninsularis in Sumatra. It is likely that the records of M. cyclotis in Simmons (2005) refer to M. peninsularis.

description: The primary inquiry of this study is to identify and understand the underlying factors that enable smallholder farmer groups to improve their market situation. The specific objective of this paper is to examine to what extent certain group characteristics and asset endowments facilitate collective action initiatives to improve group marketing performance. This objective is approached through an evaluation of a government-led program in Tanzania, which is attempting to increase smallholder farmers’ incomes and food security through a market-oriented intervention. Findings suggest that more mature groups with strong internal institutions, functioning group activities, and a good asset base of natural capital are more likely to improve their market situation. Gender composition of groups also factors in group marketing performance. It acts as an enabling factor for male-dominated groups and as a disabling factor for female-only groups. Structural social capital in the form of membership in other groups and ties to external service providers, and cognitive social capital in the form of intragroup trust and altruistic behavior are not significant factors in a group’s ability to improve its market situation.

description: In a recent Letter [Appl. Phys. Lett. 87, 103104 (2005)], Yoshida et al. report that nonlinearities in current-voltage curves of gold quantum point contacts occur as a result of a shortening of the distance between electrodes at finite bias, presumably due to thermal expansion. For short wires, the electrode displacement induces a thickening of the wire, as well as nonlinearities of the IV curve, while the radius of long wires is left unchanged, thus resulting in a linear IV curve. We argue here that electron shell effects, which favor wires with certain "magic radii," prevent the thickening of long wires under compression, but have little effect on wires below a critical length.

description: Uganda’s rapid urbanization, particularly in the capital city Kampala, offers new market opportunities for organized farmers to supply higher value produce for emerging growth markets such as multinational supermarket chains and fast food restaurants. Higher urban incomes allow consumers to shift from small shops and street food stalls to more formalized markets and modern food restaurants. These more formal market outlets provide both food safety and greater choice of produce. Supplying these outlets offers both higher income and improved business relations for farmers, but accessing these markets also requires significant upgrading in terms of product quality, more secure supply chains, and more efficient marketing and business management. To meet these conditions, farmers need to become organized for a marketplace that requires increased levels of bonding social capital to meet upgrade conditions and strengthened bridging social capital through partnerships with service providers and market chain actors to engage with these higher value markets in a long-term manner. One farmers’ association in a remote rural area in Southwestern Uganda has successfully sustained market links through sales of high quality Irish potatoes to a fast food outlet in Kampala. To meet the volumes, frequency of supply, and quality parameters demanded by their client, the farmers have had to learn a series of new skills and integrate multiple innovations at the technical, organizational, financial, and marketing levels, and meet many of the classical conditions associated with collective action based on empowerment through social and human capital development. This paper outlines how the use of collective action combined with strong leadership and an iterative market-led learning process have enabled a smallholder farmer’s association to supply a perishable crop to a modern food outlet market with stringent quality parameters. Success in this market linkage was possible through effective support from both development and research providers and the strong entrepreneurial drive from the farmer association.

description: This study examines the causal relationship between dietary knowledge and behavior by including self-efficacy in the models. Regression analyses supported the hypothesized relationships that self-efficacy mediates effects of dietary knowledge and social influences on dietary behavior. Self-efficacy also accounted for variance in eating behavior not explained by knowledge or demographic variables. The coefficients for the relationship between dietary behavior and knowledge decreased for each of the four dietary models when the influence of self efficacy was added. Interventions and health promotion campaigns should seek to directly address factors influencing diet related self-efficacy instead of focusing on disseminating information only.

description: In view of no direct sign of new physics so far and the pending puzzles that cannot be solved within the Standard Model (SM) the Higgs sector plays an increasingly important role as a portal to physics beyond the SM. New physics can be parametrized in a rather model-independent way in the SM effective theory (SMEFT). In this contribution I will discuss what we can learn about new physics from Higgs fits to SMEFT higher-dimensional operators.

description: While the solar system contains about 20 times more moons than planets, no moon has been confirmed around any of the thousands of extrasolar planets known so far. Tools for an uncomplicated identification of the most promising exomoon candidates could be beneficial to streamline follow-up studies.} Here we study three exomoon indicators that emerge if well-established planet-only models are fitted to a planet-moon transit light curve: transit timing variations (TTVs), transit duration variations (TDVs), and apparent planetary transit radius variations (TRVs). We re-evaluate under realistic conditions the previously proposed exomoon signatures in the TTV and TDV series. We simulate light curves of a transiting exoplanet with a single moon. These model light curves are then fitted with a planet-only transit model, pretending there were no moon, and we explore the resulting TTV, TDV, and TRV series for evidence of the moon. The previously described ellipse in the TTV-TDV diagram of an exoplanet with a moon emerges only for high-density moons. Low-density moons distort the sinusoidal shapes of the TTV and the TDV series due to their photometric contribution to the combined planet-moon transit. Sufficiently large moons can produce periodic apparent TRVs of their host planets that could be observable. We find that Kepler and PLATO have similar performances in detecting the exomoon-induced TRV effect around simulated bright ($m_V=8$) stars. These stars, however, are rare in the Kepler sample but will be abundant in the PLATO sample. Moreover, PLATO's higher cadence yields a stronger TTV signal. The periodogram of the sequence of transit radius measurements can indicate the presence of a moon. The TTV and TDV series of exoplanets with moons can be more complex than previously assumed. We propose that TRVs could be a more promising means to identify exomoons in large exoplanet surveys.

Language and politics, political theory and practice : a study of the relationship between language, action and conceptual change
Creators: name: Mandel, Naomi
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: This essay is premised on two assumptions: first, that concepts change their meaning; second, that the examination of the relationship between language and action - two central components of the public sphere - illuminates the process of change. Three models of conceptual change are critically discussed through their language-action axis. The first, adduced by German historian of concepts Reinhart Koselleck, assumes that conceptual change results from a gap between language and action. The second, put forward by historian of political thought Quentin Skinner, argues that conceptual change is produced by political theorists that are doing something when writing; language, according to this model is (sometimes) a form of action. The third model is derived from the American PC movement, which, it is argued here, presents us with a theory and a practice of conceptual change. According to this model, conceptual change results from a deliberate change of language by social agents. Language, as maintained by this model, is the world; action cannot be discussed separately from language since everything exists only through language. As we move from one model to the next we see that the place language assumes in both political theory and practice is increasing in relation to, and at the expense of, action. This essay argues that the mid-twentieth century "linguistic turn," coupled with the growing influence of postmodernism on political theory and practice, results in a distorted picture of the polls. This weakens the ability of political theory to make intelligible the world around us, and also its effectiveness as a guide for action. This tendency must be remedied i f political theory and practice wishes to remain relevant to the public sphere.

Gilded tube-nosed bat
 New record
New to Sumatra; Lampung Province: Way Canguk Forest.
 New material
One bat was collected as a voucher specimen. Lampung Province: Way Canguk Forest, 1♂ (MZB 35884).
 Remarks
 One individual was caught with a harp trap in Way Canguk Forest. An additional sample of another male from Way Canguk Forest was found in the MZB (MZB 34991, FA = 30.9 mm), which is the first record from Sumatra. In the study area, M. rozendaali can be easily distinguished from other Murininae species by its smaller body size, except M. suilla. These two small Murina species can be distinguished by fur color and dental characters. Fur on the upperparts in M. rozendaali is dark brown at the base with shiny golden tips, differing from buffy/gray and orange-brown of M. suilla. The ratio of the crown area of the first upper premolar to the crown area of the second upper premolar is twothirds or more in M. rozendaali, but is half or less in M. suilla (G. Csorba, personal communication). Murina aenea is another species with similar coloration in the Sunda Shelf and has not been yet reported from Sumatra. The body size of M. rozendaali (FA 28–32 mm, BM 3.8–4.8 g) is smaller than M. aenea (FA 34–38 mm, BM 6.0– 8.5 g) and the underparts are white-based rather than buffy brown in M. aenea (Francis, 2008). Our records extend its distribution on the Sunda Shelf from Peninsular Malaysia and Borneo to Sumatra (Simmons, 2005).

description: Dirac's relativistic constraint dynamics have been successfully applied to obtain a covariant nonperturbative description of QED and QCD bound states. We use this formalism to describe a microscopic theory of meson-meson scattering as a relativistic generalization of the nonrelativistic quark-interchange model developed by Barnes and Swanson.

description: For many decades, fresh fruits and vegetables enjoyed a reputation as the healthiest products full of essential vitamins, minerals, and other beneficial substances for a balanced diet. However, numerous recent food outbreaks associated with fresh produce have raised concerns on the mind of the consumer. Following an outbreak, consumers reduce their immediate consumption of the affected products. Even tough fresh fruits and vegetables have unique characteristics and flavors, consumers tend to substitute affected outbreak products with other fruits and vegetables. The potential impact of food borne illness on consumption has also a longer term impact, reducing consumption of the products over a period of several months after the outbreak. This paper used historical decomposition analysis to study both, the contemporaneous and lagged effects of food borne illness in the fresh produce industry using three case studies, spinach, cantaloupes, and tomatoes.

description: The continued decline in the availability of water from the Ogallala Aquifer has led to an increased interest in conservation policies designed to extend the life of the aquifer to sustain rural economies in the Texas Panhandle. This study evaluates the effectiveness of five policies in terms of changes in the saturated thickness of the aquifer as well as the impact each policy has on crop mix, water use per acre, and the net present value of farm profits over a sixty-year planning horizon for the region.

description: We describe an approach to the high-fidelity measurement of a superconducting qubit using an on-chip microwave photon counter. The protocol relies on the transient response of a dispersively coupled measurement resonator to map the state of the qubit to "bright" and "dark" cavity pointer states that are characterized by a large differential photon occupation. Following this mapping, we photodetect the resonator using the Josephson Photomultipler (JPM), which transitions between classically distinguishable flux states when cavity photon occupation exceeds a certain threshold. Our technique provides access to the binary outcome of projective quantum measurement at the millikelvin stage without the need for quantum-limited preamplification and thresholding at room temperature. We achieve raw single-shot measurement fidelity in excess of 98% across multiple samples using this approach in total measurement times under 500 ns. In addition, we show that the backaction and crosstalk associated with our measurement protocol can be mitigated by exploiting the intrinsic damping of the JPM itself.

Numerical Study of Lattice Landau Gauge QCD and the Gribov Copy Problem
Creators: name: Nakajima, Hideo

Year: 2004
Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Lattice (hep-lat)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: The infrared properties of lattice Landau gauge QCD of SU(3) are studied by measuring gluon propagator, ghost propagator, QCD running coupling and Kugo-Ojima parameter of $β=6.0, 16^4,24^4,32^4$ and $β=6.4, 32^4, 48^4, 56^4$ lattices. By the larger lattice measurements, we observe that the runnning coupling measured by the product of the gluon dressing function and the ghost dressing function squared rescaled to the perturbative QCD results near the highest lattice momentum has the maximum of about 2.2 at around $q=0.5$ GeV/c, and behaves either approaching constant or even decreasing as $q$ approaches zero. The magnitude of the Kugo-Ojima parameter is getting larger but staying around -0.83 in contrast to the expected value -1 in the continuum theory. We observe, however, there is an exceptional sample which has larger magnitude of the Kugo-Ojima parameter and stronger infrared singularity of the ghost propagator. The reflection positivity of the 1-d Fourier transform of the gluon propagator of the exceptional sample is manifestly violated. Gribov noise problem was studied by performing the fundamental modular gauge (FMG) fixing with use of the parallel tempering method of $β=2.2, 16^4$ SU(2) configurations. Findings are that the gluon propagator almost does not suffer noises, but the Kugo-Ojima parameter and the ghost propagator in the FMG becomes $\sim 5$% less in the infrared region than those suffering noises. It is expected that these qualitative aspects seen in SU(2) will reflect in the infrared properties of SU(3) QCD as well.

description: Getting maximum benefits from cereals do not lie in reducing N-rate and its number of splits but lowering cost per unit cereal production through higher yields. Field experiments were conducted on maize (Zea mays L.) at the New Developmental research Farm of NWFP (Northwest Frontier Province) Agricultural University Peshawar-Pakistan during 2002-03 and 2003-04 in order to investigate effects of variable rates of N and its time of application on the partial factor productivity (PFPN), agronomic efficiency (AEN), net returns (NR), value-cost ratio (VCR) and marginal returns (MR). The 2 x 3 x 6 factorial experiment was designed having two plant densities (D1 = 60,000 and D2 = 100,000 plants ha-1) and three N levels (N1 = 60, N2 = 120 and N3 = 180 kg N ha-1) applied to main plots, while six split application of N in different proportions were applied to subplots in two equal (T1), three equal (T2), three unequal (T3), four equal (T4), five equal (T5) and five unequal splits (T6) at sowing and with 1st, 2nd, 3rd and 4th irrigation at two wk intervals. Maize ranked first with maximum PFPN, AEN, NR, VCR and MR at higher than at lower plant density, and the increase in all these parameters studied in the experiments was more in 2003-04 as compared to 2002-03. Both PFPN and AEN showed negative relationship with increase in N rates and the cast that vary, but NR, VCR and MR showed positive relationship with increase in N rates and the cost that vary. Among time of N application, maximum PFPN, AEN, NR, VCR and MR were calculated when N was applied in five equal splits (T5) almost comparable with T4 and T6 but was more economical when compared with T1, T2, and T3. In conclusion, the findings suggest that growing maize at D2 applied with N3 in four to five splits is more economical in the wheat-maize cropping system of NWFP.

description: Guided by the planar interface of two dissimilar linear, homogeneous mediums, a Voigt surface wave arises due to an exceptional point of either of the two matrixes necessary to describe the spatial characteristics in the direction normal to the planar interface. There is no requirement for either or both partnering mediums to be dissipative, unlike a Voigt plane wave which can propagate only in a dissipative medium.

description: 80 experts discussed the role of media in regard to the participation of EU citizens in European debates. Throughout Europe, EU citizens are not regarded as strong supporters of European institutions. In academic and in political discussions it is argued that there is a lack of interest in European affairs, a lack of knowledge about the European Union and a very low level of participation in debates on European issues and in European elections. How could this lack of interest be turned around? How could the mass media and political institutions motivate the citizens of Europe to intensify their involvement in public discussions on European issues?
 The main focus of the experts’ conference was to find out which requirements must be met in order to be able to stimulate interest in issues concerning Europe as a whole, and foster participation in public debates on those issues by the European citizenry. What role do the media play in (de-)activating citizens’ interest in European issues, and is there anything they can do to encourage citizens to take action? Which formats are best suited to these goals? Is it possible to foster increased participation of EU citizens in discussions on European issues by means of the formats that now exist for the public expression of political opinions, or must new formats be developed?

Brown tube-nosed bat
 New record Lampung Province: Way Canguk Forest.
 Previous records from Sumatra
Only listed for Sumatra (van Strien, 1996; Simmons, 2005), but no locality records given.
 Remarks
 Three individuals of M. suilla were captured in harp traps in Way Canguk Forest. Our captures were the first records of this small Murina species (FA = 28.4–33.0 mm; BM = 3.8–5.0 g) with a confirmed locality in Sumatra. M. suilla can be distinguished from M. peninsularis and Harpiocephalus harpia by the smaller body size and from M. rozendaali by differences in fur color and dental characters (see M. rozendaali account for details).

description: Using retail purchase data, price premiums and discounts associated with household demographics, market factors, and product attributes (focusing on the organic attribute for strained baby food) are estimated using a hedonic pricing model. Results suggest that the organic premium ranges from about 12 to 49 percent in 2004 and from 30 to 52 percent in 2006. Tests for significant changes relative to product attributes show that while the price of conventional baby food has stayed relatively the same, the premium for organic baby food has increased.
