  • Indigenous Uses of Ethnomedicinal Plants Among Forest-Dependent Communities of Northern Bengal, India Antony Joseph Raj4* , Saroj Biswakarma1, Nazir A
    Raj et al. Journal of Ethnobiology and Ethnomedicine (2018) 14:8 DOI 10.1186/s13002-018-0208-9 RESEARCH Open Access Indigenous uses of ethnomedicinal plants among forest-dependent communities of Northern Bengal, India Antony Joseph Raj4* , Saroj Biswakarma1, Nazir A. Pala1, Gopal Shukla1, Vineeta1, Munesh Kumar2, Sumit Chakravarty1 and Rainer W. Bussmann3 Abstract Background: Traditional knowledge on ethnomedicinal plant is slowly eroding. The exploration, identification and documentation on utilization of ethnobotanic resources are essential for restoration and preservation of ethnomedicinal knowledge about the plants and conservation of these species for greater interest of human society. Methods: The study was conducted at fringe areas of Chilapatta Reserve Forest in the foothills of the eastern sub-Himalayan mountain belts of West Bengal, India, from December 2014 to May 2016. Purposive sampling method was used for selection of area. From this area which is inhabited by aboriginal community of Indo-Mongoloid origin, 400 respondents including traditional medicinal practitioners were selected randomly for personal interview schedule through open-ended questionnaire. The questionnaire covered aspects like plant species used as ethnomedicines, plant parts used, procedure for dosage and therapy. Results: A total number of 140 ethnomedicinal species was documented, in which the tree species (55) dominated the lists followed by herbs (39) and shrubs (30). Among these total planted species used for ethnomedicinal purposes, 52 species were planted, 62 species growing wild or collected from the forest for use and 26 species were both wild and planted. The present study documented 61 more planted species as compared to 17 planted species documented in an ethnomedicinal study a decade ago.

He tendered his resignation to President Sergio Mattarella, the ultimate arbiter of Italian political crises, who invited him to stay on in a caretaker capacity pending discussions on what happens next. Italy was the first European country to face the full force of the Covid-19 pandemic and has since suffered badly, with the economy plunged into recession and deaths still rising by around 400 a day. Parts of the country remain under partial lockdown, the vaccination programme has slowed and a deadline is looming to agree on plans to spend billions of euros in European Union recovery funds. Kaja Kallas to become Estonia’s first female prime minister Kaja Kallas, the leader of the Reform Party will become Estonia’s first female prime minister. The Reform Party, led by Kallas, won the 2019 parliamentary election in Estonia with 34 MPs in the country’s 101-seat parliament, Riigikogu. Estonia would thus currently become the only country in the world where both the president Kersti Kaljulaid and the prime minister are women.

  • Assessment of Soil Loss of the Dhalai River Basin, Tripura, India Using USLE
    International Journal of Geosciences, 2013, 4, 11-23 http://dx.doi.org/10.4236/ijg.2013.41002 Published Online January 2013 (http://www.scirp.org/journal/ijg) Assessment of Soil Loss of the Dhalai River Basin, Tripura, India Using USLE Kapil Ghosh, Sunil Kumar De*, Shreya Bandyopadhyay, Sushmita Saha Department of Geography and Disaster Management, Tripura University, Suryamaninagar, India Email: *[email protected] Received September 27, 2012; revised November 12, 2012; accepted December 11, 2012 ABSTRACT Soil erosion is one of the most important environmental problems, and it remains as a major threat to the land use of hilly regions of Tripura. The present study aims at estimating potential and actual soil loss (t·h−1·y−1) as well as to in- dentify the major erosion prone sub-watersheds in the study area. Average annual soil loss has been estimated by multi- plying five parameters, i.e.: R (the rainfall erosivity factor), K (the soil erodibility factor), LS (the topographic factor), C (the crop management factor) and P (the conservation support practice). Such estimation is based on the principles de- fined in the Universal Soil Loss Equation (USLE) with some modifications. This intensity of soil erosion has been di- vided into different priority classes. The whole study area has been subdivided into 23 sub watersheds in order to iden- tify the priority areas in terms of the intensity of soil erosion. Each sub-watershed has further been studied intensively in terms of rainfall, soil type, slope, land use/land cover and soil erosion to determine the dominant factor leading to higher erosion.

    Columbia University Graduate School of Architecture, Planning and Preservation INFRASTRUCTURE IS CIVILIZATION: RECONSIDERING THE DEMOLITION OF PENNSYLVANIA STATION A4106.001: Advanced Studio VI, Spring 2016 Monday and Thursday 1:30-6:30 PM Professor Vishaan Chakrabarti Co-instructor, Ruchika Modi Penn Station ‘Renovation’ STUDIO BRIEF Since antiquity infrastructure has formed the physical expression of civil society, whether in the water “ghats” of India, the viaducts of Rome, the highly advanced ancient sewers of the Middle East, or the advent of high speed rail in modern Japan. Representing far more than technocratic systems, infrastructure speaks to the belief that society has the internal capacity for communal organization and investment, for recognizing that we benefit from collective design, construction and engagement. Design excellence in infrastructure is the expression of a societal belief in the collective over the singular, hence the notion of “foreground” buildings that we associate with our public libraries, museums, post offices, and train stations versus the “background” buildings that historically constituted private urban building stock before the culture of celebrity luxury architecture for private object buildings took hold. The Victorian train stations of Europe and its colonies, as well as the “City Beautiful” stations that succeeded them in the United States, were the apotheosis of the belief during the Enlightenment that infrastructure was a civilizing force, at times resulting in racial domination and colonial repression, yet simultaneously representing our first understandings of transit-oriented urbanity and the freedoms it engenders. The downfall of rail travel, particularly in the United States, represents the denouement of civil society as we defined it in the 19th and 20th centuries, as we moved from modernity to Modernism, from the train to the automobile.
