Northern Peru represents the center of the Andean “health axis,”with roots going back to traditional practices of Cupisnique culture (1000 BC). For more than a decade of research, semistructured interviews were conducted with healers, collectors, and sellers of medicinal plants. In addition, bioassays were carried out to evaluate the efficacy and toxicity of plants found. Most of the 510 species encountered were native to Peru (83%). Fifty percent of the plants used in colonial times have disappeared from the pharmacopoeia. Market vendors specialized either on common and exotic plants, plants for common ailments, and plants only used by healers or on plants with magical purposes. Over 974 preparations with up to 29 different ingredients were used to treat 164 health conditions. Almost 65% of the medicinal plants were applied in these mixtures. Antibacterial activity was confirmed in most plants used for infections. Twenty-four percent of the aqueous extracts and 76% of the ethanolic extracts showed toxicity. Traditional preparation methods take this into account when choosing the appropriate solvent for the preparation of a remedy. The increasing demand for medicinal species did not increase the cultivation of medicinal plants. Most species are wild collected, causing doubts about the sustainability of trade. 1.

  • A Feminist Critique of Knowledge Production
    This volume is the result of the close collaboration between the University of Naples “L‘Orientale” and the scholars organizing and participating to the postgraduate course Feminisms in a Transnational Perspective in Dubrovnik, Croatia. It features 15 essays that envision a feminist critique of the production Università degli studi di Napoli of knowledge that contributes today, intentionally or not, to new “L’Orientale” forms of discrimination, hierarchy control, and exclusion. Opposing the skepticism towards the viability of Humanities and Social Sciences in the era of ‘banking education’, marketability, and the so-called technological rationalization, these essays inquiry into teaching practices of non- institutional education and activism. They practice methodological ‘diversions’ of feminist intervention A feminist critique into Black studies, Childhood studies, Heritage studies, Visual studies, and studies of Literature. of knowledge production They venture into different research possibilities such as queering Eurocentric archives and histories. Some authors readdress Monique production A feminist critique of knowledge Wittig’s thought on literature as the Trojan horse amidst academy’s walls, the war-machine whose ‘design and goal is to pulverize the old forms and formal conventions’. Others rely on the theoretical assumptions of minor transnationalism, deconstruction, edited by Deleuzian nomadic feminism, queer theory, women’s oral history, and Silvana Carotenuto, the theory of feminist sublime.

  • Aloysia Citriodora Aloysia Citrodora Is a Species of Flowering Plant in the Verbena Family Verbenaceae, Native to Western South America
    Aloysia citriodora Aloysia citrodora is a species of flowering plant in the verbena family Verbenaceae, native to western South America. Common names include lemon verbena and lemon beebrush. It was brought to Europe by the Spanish and the Portuguese in the 17th century and cultivated for its oil. Description Lemon verbena is a perennial shrub or subshrub growing to 2–3 m high. The 8-cm-long, glossy, pointed leaves are slightly rough to the touch and emit a powerful scent reminiscent of lemon when bruised (hence the Latin specific epithet citrodora—lemon-scented). Sprays of tiny purple or white flowers appear in late spring or early summer. It is sensitive to cold, losing leaves at temperatures below 0 °C (32 °F), although the wood is hardy to −10 °C (14 °F). Due to its many culinary uses, it is widely listed and marketed as a plant for the herb garden. Uses Lemon verbena leaves are used to add a lemon flavor to fish and poultry dishes, vegetable marinades, salad dressings, jams, puddings, Greek yogurt and beverages. It also is used to make herbal teas, or added to standard tea in place of actual lemon (as is common with Moroccan tea). It can also be used to make a sorbet. Chemistry The major isolates in lemon verbena oil are citral (30–35%), nerol and geraniol. Extracts of lemon verbena also contain verbascoside. Synonyms Synonyms for lemon verbena are Verbena triphylla L'Hér., Verbena citriodora Cav., Lippia triphylla, Lippia citriodora, Aloysia citriodora (Cav.) Ort.hierba luisa, cedron Garden history The first European botanist who publicly noticed this plant was the French Philibert Commerson, who collected in Buenos Aires on his botanical circumnavigation with Bougainville, about 1767.

  • The French Revolution and the Politics of Sea Voyaging
    The French Revolution and the Politics of Sea Voyaging Jean Fornasiero and John West-Sooby In recent years, the historiography of French travel and exploration has been rejuvenated by studies highlighting the influence of maritime voyages on public policy, as well as the key role they played in the evolution of scientific thought and the history of ideas, most notably through the discovery of new lands and peoples, the gathering of natural history collections, or research into tropical medicine. McClellan and Regourd (2012), for example, in their detailed study of the interaction between science and imperial expansion under the ancien régime, demonstrate the pivotal role of maritime exploration in what they term the ‘colonial machine’—the complex network of state-controlled organisations that, from the sixteenth century through to 1789, joined forces to build a coherent programme of world domination aimed at countering Britain’s developing colonial empire. As McClellan and Regourd show, French institutions such as the Royal Navy, the Royal Academy of Sciences and the Jardin du roi collaborated closely in order to address the problems raised by European colonial expansion: cartography and navigation; the medical care of sailors, colonists and slaves; applied botany and commodity production. In philosophical and ideological terms, the major Enlightenment voyages—most notably those of Bougainville, La Pérouse and Cook—had a major influence on European thought. But what happens after 1789? Despite some major advances in our understanding of the history of science and of intellectual societies during the French Revolution (e.g. Chappey 2002, 2010), the interaction between voyages of discovery and the political and intellectual ferment of the period has as yet received little attention.

He died soon after arriving to Åbo (Turku), and his career here is poorly known. The main duty of demonstrators were to instruct medical students on the subject of medicinal plants. Dahl sent to Åbo a consider- able herbarium prior to his arrival. It included 6000 specimens, of which about 1000 had once belonged to Herbarium Linnaeanum, but donated to Claes Alströmer, Dahls employer at Alingsås, Christinedahl, Västra Götaland in Sweden.
