Introduction: The use of herbal medicines in the community is increasing, both in developing and developed countries.. Most people use herbal medicine for generations or based on experience. Therefore, it is necessary to analyze the public knowledge about herbal medicine to support the use of herbal medicines appropriately and correctly Objective : To determine the relationship between sociodemographic characteristic with public knowledge level about herbal medicine in Sleman Regency. Methods: Survey research conducted on the people of Minggir and Cangkringan districts, Sleman Regency. Sampling of 240 respondents was done by cluster sampling method. Data obtained from the distribution of questionnaires that have been validated to the public. The correct answer was counted and scored, then responden who score greater or equal to the mean were grouped into good knowledge, whereas those who score less than mean were grouped into poor knowledge. Data were analyzed by univariate and bivariate by chi-square test. Result : The majority of respondents were women (61.2%) and the most age was 26-45 years (46.7%). The respondents' knowledge is the best in the domain of how to use herbal medicine with an average percentage of correct answers 67.6%. In the domain of side effects, the average percentage of answers is only 47.7%. Overall respondents who had a good level of knowledge were 66.2% and respondents who were poorly knowledgeable were 33.8%. The results of the bivariate analysis showed no correlation between sociodemographic characteristics and knowledge level about herbal medicine (p> 0.05). Conclusion: Most people in Sleman Regency have good knowledge about herbal medicine. However, education still needs to be done about herbal medicines, especially the efficacy and side effects.

The Impact

The Right to Information Act 2005 was passed by the UPA (United Progressive Alliance) Government with a sense of pride. It flaunted the Act as a milestone in India’s democratic journey. It is five years since the RTI was passed; the performance on the implementation frontis far from perfect. Consequently, the impact on the attitude, mindset and behaviour patterns of the public authorities and the people is not as it was expected to be. Most of the people are still not aware of their newly acquired power. Among those who are aware, a major chunk either does not know how to wield it or lacks the guts and gumption to invoke the RTI. A little more stimulation by the Government, NGOs and other enlightened and empowered citizens can augment the benefits of this Act manifold. RTI will help not only in mitigating corruption in public life but also in alleviating poverty- the two monstrous maladies of India.

Pruning is one of the most crucial tree maintenance activities which give an impact on the tree's health and structure. Besides, improper pruning will contribute to the risk of injury to property and the public. This study aims to assess pruning knowledge among four Local authorities in Malaysia. Results found that 69.3 percent of tree pruning workers have a Good pruning knowledge level. However, Topping, pruning types and pruning cut dimension shows the lowest mean percentage of the correct answer. The findings also show that there is a significant positive relationship between pruning knowledge and education level and frequency attending pruning courses.Keywords: Tree pruning; knowledge; sustainable practices; urban treeseISSN: 2398-4287 © 2020.

Robotic Applications

The development of robotic systems to operate in forest environments is of great relevance for the public and private sectors. In this sense, this article reviews several scientific papers, research projects and commercial products related to robotic applications for environmental preservation, monitoring, wildfire firefighting, inventory operations, planting, pruning and harvesting. After conducting critical analysis, the main characteristics observed were: (a) the locomotion system is directly affected by the type of environmental monitoring to be performed; (b) different reasons for pruning result in different locomotion and cutting systems; (c) each type of forest, in each season and each type of soil can directly interfere with the navigation technique used; and (d) the integration of the concept of swarm of robots with robots of different types of locomotion systems (land, air or sea) can compensate for the time of executing tasks in unstructured environments. Two major areas are proposed for future research works: Internet of Things (IoT)-based smart forest and navigation systems. It is expected that, with the various characteristics exposed in this paper, the current robotic forest systems will be improved, so that forest exploitation becomes more efficient and sustainable.

Male-factor infertility is a common but stigmatised issue, and men often do not receive the emotional support and the information they need. This study sought to understand awareness of male fertility issues compared to female fertility among the UK general male public, and also what were perceived as being the optimum methods for providing support for affected men, emotionally and through information. Men feel that male infertility is not discussed by the public as much as female infertility. Lifestyle issues that affect male fertility are not well understood, and men affected by infertility desire more support, including online, from health professionals and through peer support. Health professionals, including those in public health, could offer evidence-based programmes to reduce stigma and increase public knowledge about infertility, as well as offer emotional support to men with infertility problems.
