A review based on literature and herbarium voucher information on the non-wood uses of oaks in Mexico is presented. Fifty-five species of Quercus are gathered and used for different purposes, mainly in those states located in the central and south regions of the country. No relationship was found between species diversity by state and number of useful species. Five different uses were recorded: (1) medicinal, related mainly to digestive apparatus sicknesses: (2) food, including consumption of different structures, both fresh and processed; (3) handcraft, to elaborate different manufactured crafts, like rosaries and toys; (4) fodder, for goats and pigs; (5) tannins and dyes, to turning raw skins into leather and to act like mordant and to dye fibers. There is a relationship between the presence of ethnic groups and the use of the oaks in a given region, indicating the cultural value of these species in addition of their importance as a complementary plant resource.

Nilai reka corak motif ukiran kayu yang dihasilkan oleh pandai kraf Bajau Sama di Kota Belud merupakan satu keunikan yang terdapat pada rumpun Bajau di negeri Sabah. Kajian ini membincangkan nilai reka corak yang terdapat pada ukkil motif ukiran kayu Bajau yang bersubjekkan burung atau hidupan di udara sebagai sumber inspirasi. Subjek burung diapresiasikan sebagai reka corak motif ukiran kayu pada senjata tradisional Bajau Sama. Contohnya burung Pimping, ayam (manuk) dan naga. Kajian ini dapat memahami nilai apresiasi panday kahuy Bajau terhadap reka corak ukkil motif bersubjekkan burung dan hubung-kaitnya dengan nilai budaya masyarakat Bajau Sama di Kota Belud. Kajian ini melibatkan proses pengumpulan data primer dan data sekunder. Proses pengumpulan data primer melibatkan temubual bersama adiguru panday kahuy Bajau dan pemerhatian secara langsung terhadap motif ukiran yang dihasilkan. Manakala, pengumpulan data sekunder adalah melalui jurnal dan buku ilmiah berkaitan dengan seni ukiran di alam Melayu. Penulis merujuk teori prinsip seni kraf tradisional Melayu dan kaedah Semantic Differential sebagai proses membuat analisa terhadap motif ukiran kayu. Pemerhatian ini diharap dapat memberi satu pemahaman umum memandangkan kurangnya dokumentasi terhadap makna interpretasi seni ukiran kayu Bajau Sama terutamanya subjek burung.   The value of wood carving motifs design created by the Bajau Sama craftsmens in Kota Belud is one of the uniqueness inherited by the Bajau ethnic groups in Sabah. This study discusses the uniqueness of Bajau wood carving motifs design with a bird as its source of inspiration. The subject of birds is appreciated in the design of Bajau traditional weapons. Birds that are used include burung Pimping, roasters (manuk) and dragons (naga). This study interpretes the value of Bajau woodcarvers in the design of bird-based motifs and their relationship to the cultural value of the Bajau Sama community in Kota Belud. This study has applied the process of collecting primary and secondary data. The primary data involved interviews with Bajau woodcarvers and observation of the carved motifs. Meanwhile, secondary data were collected from rjournals and books related to the art of wood carving in Malay world. The authors apply the principles of traditional Malay art and craft and the Semantic Differential method in analyzing the wood carving motifs. This observation is expected to provide a general understanding in the effort to fill in the literature gap of documentation and interpretation of the Bajau Sama motifs design especially on the subject of bird.

The Relationship

Language is formed in the context of culture; on the other hand, the culture of a society is reflected in the language's mirror. Language has a cultural backbone as a communication tool. This cultural backing is in fact the basis for the emergence of vocabulary and its conceptual boundaries, as well as the decisive factor in the image and image reflected in the ords and proverbs. Because different ethnic groups have different cultures, there are problems on the path to the relationship between nations and the mutual understanding of languages. The methods of translating proverbs and synopsis as part of language and culture play a significant role in communicating, despite the fact that some cultural reflections sometimes apply in the above interpretations because of the inappropriateness of the methods of translating neglected. Since one of the goals of translation is to create and promote communication between cultures, ignoring the cultural aspects of texts in translation can reduce the scientific and cultural values of translated works. The present paper seeks to explain this problem and provide some solutions.

Usage Patterns

Since homegardens reflect a culture of a particular ethnic group, the study in homegardens provide unique insights into ethnobotany. The Saibatin sub-tribe in Lampung has extensive uses for plants, but an ethnobotanical study of their homegardens are still lacking. This study aimed to describe the structure and composition of the Saibatin community homegarden and to explain the diversity of plants and the usage patterns through an ethnobotany perspective. The study also aimed to elaborate species with social-economic and ecological functions and to describe the overall functions of homegardens. Ethnobotanical data were collected using participant observation methods, which were complemented by questionnaires. We determined the key respondents and common respondents using the purposive sampling and snowball sampling method, while homegarden plant species diversity was identified using vegetation analysis methods. The results showed that 3 size categories of homegardens are present in this area, including narrow, medium, and broad. The homegarden structure consisted of hadap/tangebah (front yard), gelekhan (side yard), and kudan (backyard). Six types of habitus composed the homegarden structure, namely herbaceous, epiphytes, shrubs, trees, succulents, and vines. The homegarden species richness index (DMg) in Way Jambu Village (WJA) (17.34) was higher than Labuhan Mandi Village (LMA) (16.87). Even so, the homegarden plant diversity (H’) and evenness (J ) in LMA was higher than WJA. There were 16 plant usage categories used by the Saibatin community (WJA 15; LMA14). Foodstuffs were the usage category of homegardens with the highest number of species in both villages. The species ICS value ranges between the two villages were relatively similar. The highest ICS species in WJA was Cocos nucifera while in LMA was Cymbopogon citratus. By studying ethnobotany of Saibatin sub-tribe homegarden we conclude that the three main roles of the homegardens are to provide social-economic impacts, ecological services, and representing the cultural value of Saibatin community identity

Abstract. Alcala AA, Delos Angeles MD, Buot Jr IE. 2019. Fern species diversity across various land use types of Mt. Makiling, Luzon Island, Philippines. Biodiversitas 20: 2437-2445. Mt. Makiling of Luzon Island, Philippines is home to many living organisms including ferns and fern allies which are one of the important understory vegetation in many forest communities and having various economic uses like food, medicine and ornamentation. This study identified fern species found in various land use types across the northeastern slope of Mt. Makiling, Los Baños, Philippines. The plot technique was employed using a 20x20 meter quadrat. Three (3) 5x2 subquadrats were randomly distributed within the established quadrat. Fern specimens were identified (sensu PPG, 2016) and measured. Samples were collected for herbarium voucher deposited in the PBDH. A total of 28 fern species with 22 genera from 14 families were found across land use types. Identified land use types were: i) Mahogany (341 m asl.); (ii) Agriculture (355 m asl.); (iii) Buffer zone (365 m asl.); (iv) Agroforest (368 m asl.); (v) Roadside (455 m asl.), and (vi) Forest (482 m asl.). The most represented fern families were found out to be Thelypteridaceae (5 spp), Dryopteridaceae (3 spp), Polypodiaceae (3 spp.), Pteridaceae (3 spp), Aspleniaceae (2 spp), Dennstaedtiaceae (2 spp), Selaginellaceae (2 spp.) and Tectariaceae (2 spp.). On the other hand the families Schizaeaceae, Lindsaeaceae, Davalliaceae, Nephrolepidaceae, and Marratiaceae are comprised of one species only. Pteris blumeana C. Agardh and Tectaria crenata Cav. were found only in buffer zone area. Dennstaedtia philippinensis Copel., Lygodium circinnatum (Burm. f.) Sw. and Microlepia sp., were found only in agroforest area; Sphaerostephanos unitus (L.) Holttum found only in agricultural; Bolbitis heteroclita (C. Presl) Ching and Microsorum membranifolium (R. Br.) Ching were found in roadside while Asplenium tenerum G. Forst. , Christella sp., Lindsaea fissa Copel. and Nephrolepis cordifolia (L.) C. Presl were found in forest area. Pneumatopteris nitidula (C. Presl) Holttum. is a dominant fern species found in agriculture and mahogany plantation area. There is a need to document fern species along with its population across land use types in order to utilize ferns as plant indicators due to their vulnerability to changes in environmental conditions. These results can shed light on the appropriate strategy for the conservation and management of ferns in Mt. Makiling.

The study of Pteridophytic flora of Bhimkalipatan, Pokhara was conducted from May 2018 to October 2018. The Pteridophytic plants were collected and then dried for herbarium specimen preparation. The prepared Herbarium voucher specimens were identified based on standard literatures and finally verified from KATH, Kathmandu. A total of 27 species under 19 genera belonging to 11 families were recorded. The family Polypodiaceae was the largest family with eight species under five genera. The family Pteridaceae stood second with six species under three genera. The family Dryopteridaceae was third largest family represented by three species under three genera. In the same way, the families Lygodiaceae and Thelypteridaceae were represented by two species each under two genera respectively. The remaining six families i.e. Davalliaceae, Equisetaceae, Lycopodiaceae, Nephrolepidaceae, Selaginellaceae and Woodsiaceae were represented by one species each. The largest genera were Pteris and Pyrossia representing three species each followed by Adiantum, Drynaria, Lygodium and Thelypteris with two species each respectively and the remaining 13 genera are monotypic genera. Habitat wise, the collected species were terrestrial represented by nine species followed by seven epiphytes, two climbers and one lithophyte. Likewise, three species were found as terrestrial, epiphytes and lithophytes; three species as epiphytes and lithophytes and two species as terrestrial and lithophytes.

The Impact

Brocade has a very important position in the life of ethnic minorities. It is the crystallized value of traditional craft quintessence and is the most characteristic material manifestation of ethnic culture. In particular, the cultural value of brocade is a key element to create the traditional culture of the Vietnamese ethnic groups. At the level of practical life, brocade plays a key role in the clothing associated with daily life. At a higher level, brocade is the characteristic of identifying and distinguishing ethnic groups. Through specific motifs and patterns on costumes made from brocade materials, ethnic nuances are expressed as well as showing the impact of cultural exchanges and transformation between different ethnic groups.The fourth industrial revolution (or industrial revolution 4.0),which is taking place in many developed countries, also has a positive two-way impact and limitations on traditional brocade cultural values of Vietnamese ethnic minorities. The urgent problem is that, how to maintain the unique characteristics of traditional methods and keep the cultural content in products, and apply the achievements of science and technology to shorten the work power and production time? The article analyzes solutions to solve part of the urgent problem that is posed.
