A Review on Traditional Veterinary Medical Practices in Sri Lanka with Special Reference to Cattle Diseases
Tropical c4gricultural gesearch 8,-- e)aension 13(3): 2010 A REVIEW ON TRADITIONAL VETERINARY MEDICAL PRACTICES IN SRI LANKA WITH SPECIAL REFERENCE TO CATTLE DISEASES ERHSS Ediriweeral, NGAAS Nanayakkara2, OTMRKSB Kalawana2, YKSSL Sugathadasa3 1Department of Nidana Chikithsa, Institute of Indigenous Medicine, University of Colombo, Rajagiriya, Sri Lanka, 2Intern Medical Officer, 3Ayurvedic Physician Accepted: 21st July 2010 ABSTRACT Sri Lanka has well developed systems of traditional veterinary medicine. Unfortunately most of our people today, are unaware of these practices and they generally seek western modern veterinary medic- inal assistance due to this unawareness and also for convenience in their busy lives. Hence, this study was undertaken to collect and preserve the old knowledge and practices. Data were gathered from tra- ditional veterinary physicians in Central and Sabaragamuwa provinces, 011a leaves and text books. These physicians have a knowledge in identifying and treating diseases, preparation of medicines, mode of drug administration, burning of vital points (moxibustion), branding, and blood letting. Specific ap- plications of metaphysical nature such as mystical diagrams and charms, `Yanthra' or 'Kern' are also used. The striking feature of this treatment regimen is the incorporation of both physical (visible) and metaphysical (invisible) methods to treat diseases as preventive and therapeutic measures. The medici- nal preparations consist of herbs, metals, minerals and animal products including milk products, eggs, bones, meat, spider web, anthill mud and human urine. It is also observed that the traditional veteri- nary medicinal practices; especially in treatment of cattle, are very diverse. Key words: Cattle diseases, Traditional veterinary remedies, Sri Lanka INTRODUCTION the knowledge to identify and treat them by using various methods. -

Descriptions of New Species of Dryinidae (Hymenop- Tera: Chrysidoidea) from Thailand
Oriental Insects, Vol. 42: 227–235, 2008. DESCRIPTIONS OF NEW SPECIES OF DRYINIDAE (HYMENOP- TERA: CHRYSIDOIDEA) FROM THAILAND MASSIMO OLMI Dipartimento di Protezione delle piante, Università della Tuscia, 01100 Viterbo, Italy Email: [email protected] ABSTRACT . Eight new species of Dryinidae (Hymenoptera: Chrysidoidea) are described from Thailand, namely Aphelopus thai ; Anteon phuphayonense , semipolitum , khaokhoense , doiense , phetchabunense ; Pseudodryinus thai ; Neodryinus phuphayonensis . The holotypes are deposited in the collections of Queen Sirikit Botanic Garden, Chiang Mai, Thailand. The keys to the Oriental Aphelopus , Anteon , Pseudodryinus and Neodryinus are modified. Key words: Hymenoptera, Dryinidae, Aphelopus , Anteon , Pseudodryinus , Neodryinus , new species, taxonomy. Introduction Dryinidae (Hymenoptera: Chrysidoidea) are parasitoids of Hemiptera Cicadomorpha and Fulgoromorpha (Guglielmino & Olmi 1997, 2006, 2007). The Dryinidae (Hymenoptera: Chrysidoidea) of Thailand were studied in the last thirty years mainly by Olmi (1984, 1991, 1998a, 1998b, 2000, 2005). However, in spite of the above papers, they can be considered insufficiently known. In 2007 I received for study an interesting collection of unidentified dryinids from Thailand. The study of this material resulted in the discovery of eight new species described herein. Material and Methods The descriptions follow the terminology used by Olmi (1984, 1994, 1999). The measurements reported are relative, except for the total length (head to abdominal tip, without the antennae), which is expressed in millimetres. The study techniques were those proposed by Olmi (1984). In the descriptions POL is the distance between the inner edges of the two lateral ocelli; OL is the distance between the inner edges of a lateral ocellus and the median ocellus; OOL is the distance from the outer edge of a lateral ocellus to the compound eye; OPL is the distance from the posterior edge of a lateral ocellus to the occipital carina; TL is the distance from the posterior edge of an eye to the occipital carina. -

Generally the Shans both in Burma and in Thailand use the name "Kaw" (/k;);)/), and the Northern Thais, "E-kaw" (/'liik;);)/). The prefix /'lii-/ in l1iik;)JI might be the same as Ilii-I, which is often prefixed to nouns and denotes "female," such as /'liinii/, /'liinan/, /'liimtew/, etc. This is perhaps because of the eye-striking appearance of the Akha women. "Kha Kaw" C/khaa kJ;)/) is mostly used by the Laotians or the inhabitants of Laos, but the /khaa-/ is very often prefixed to the names of the minority peoples regardless of their geneological relations. The Thai Lus often call the Akhas "Kaw Ho Laem" Uk;);) hoo Ih:m/), which means "Akhas with pointed head," due to the shape of the head-dress of the Akha women.

2.3 Laos Road Assessment
2.3 Laos Road Assessment Roads overview Summary of Roles and Services Road Construction / Maintenance Road Classification Distance matrix Road security and accidents Weighbridges Axle Load Limits Bridges Transport Corridors International corridors leading to the Country Main corridors within the Country (leading to main towns / hubs) Page 1 Page 2 Of the defined total road system of some 30,000 plus kilometers, only some 15% are paved. This may be given the low traffic volumes and predominance of two and three-wheeled vehicles. The usage of provincial and district road network is restricted during the rainy season. Less that 60% of district centers have year-round access. Roads overview Laos is a land locked country, and therefore relies on its neighbours, Vietnam and Thailand, for sea port services. Most of WFP’s commodities are imported through Bangkok, Thailand. Transport infrastructure in the Lao PDR is at an early stage of development as demonstrated by the Lao PDR’s road density of 6.1 km per 1,000 people as well as by the road quality.. In addition, the general demands on the transport infrastructure are low, since traffic levels on the national network (except near Vientiane and Savannakhet) are below 1,000 average annual daily traffic and below 500 average annual daily traffic on most other networks. However, demand has been increasing over the years at an annual rate of 5%–8% for goods and 8%–10% for passengers, indicating a rise in line with economic growth. A majority of the roads are impassable during the rainy season. (Source: Statistical Year Book Lao PDR 2014, MPI) The Lao road network is estimated at about 46,000 Km, with only 28% paved. -

Farmers’ Responses to Drivers of Forest Cover Change The Case of Mae Chaem District, Thailand By Antoine Beaulieu Thesis Submitted to the Faculty of Graduate and Postdoctoral Studies for the Completion of Requirements to Obtain a Master of Arts in Geography Department of Geography, Environment and Geomatics Faculty of Arts University of Ottawa © Antoine Beaulieu, Ottawa, Canada, 2017 ABSTRACT Empirical forest transition (shift from deforestation to reforestation) literature has historically struggled to establish a single universally-accepted forest transition “theory” due to various knowledge gaps hindering any efforts to do so. One such gap is the fact that very few studies have focused on how and why smallholder farmers respond to commonly accepted forest transition drivers, as well as how these responses impact forest cover and agricultural trends. Also, there remain many parts of the world where forest cover evolution has been insufficiently researched, as is the case of Mae Chaem district (Chiang Mai province, Thailand). Even though there are studies which claim forest loss occurred in the district between the 1990s and mid-2000s, there are few available records of forest cover evolution since then. To address these research needs, this thesis used secondary literature and spatial data, as well as semi-structured interviews and personal observations gathered during fieldwork in Mae Chaem district. It was first determined that forest cover in the district decreased between the 1990s and mid-2010s due to agricultural expansion. However, it appears that forest cover is expected to increase from 2016 to 2021 due to more strictly- enforced conservation measures set in motion by the Mae Chaem Model (a state-sponsored sustainable development model).
