Background: The erosion of mosses on the surface of Hue imperial citadel has caused a lot of harm and is currently an urgent problem to be solved. Objectives:1. Identifying some moss species growing on Hue relics. 2. Determining the cause of slipperiness and the living environment mosses. 3. Finding a solution to limit the intrusion of the mosses. Methods: The methods are: identifying scientific name by comparing patterns, identify mucus, pH measurement and evaluation of the effects of certain chemicals on the growth of mosses in the laboratory. Result: The moss species that develop popularly in Hue relics is Funaria hygrometrica, Bryum apiculatum, Trichostomum orthodontum, Fissidens lycopodioides. Funaria hygrometrica is the most popular moss. The cause of the slipperiness is mucus in moss cells released outside the moss after death. Mosses grow well in moist environments, clear and slightly acidic surface. After two days assessing the effect of citric acid 18%, 15%, 10% and 7% NaHCO3, 5%, 3% on the growth of moss, the mosses all died completely. Since then identified two types of chemicals have been found to completely dead moss, inexpensive, environmentally friendly and does not affect the surface of architectures are citric acid 10% solution and NaHCO3 3% solution. Keywords: The moss erosion, Funaria hygrometrica, mucus, citric acid, NaHCO3 Key words: The moss erosion, Funaria hygrometrica, mucus, citric acid, NaHCO 3

Ethnobotanical investigation on traditional medicinal plants used by Santal tribal people of Nawabganj upazila of Dinajpur district, Bangladesh was documented. Frequent field trips were made during January to December 2018 to record ethnobotanical data by interviewing Santals of various age group, mostly ranging between 20-76 years, including the traditional healers. A total of 105 plant species under 97 genera belonging to 57 families were recorded which are used by the Santals for the treatment of 67 ailments. Out of these plant species 44% belonged to herbs, 28% trees, 18% shrubs, 10% climbers. In herbal formulations, leaves were found to be mostly used (29%) followed by roots (12%), fruits (12%), whole plant (10%), seeds (9%), barks (9%), stems (5%), flowers (4%), latex (2%), rhizomes (2%), petioles (2%), gums (2%), bulbs (1%), tubers (1%), pods (1%) and buds (1%). The Santal medicinal wealth have been presented with scientific name, family, Bangla name, Santal name, part(s) used, ailments to be treated and formulations. This study also provides data on diversity, distribution and habitats for conservation and prioritization of the medicinal plants.

Kajian kes ini bertujuan bagi memperkenalkan suatu bahan berasaskan pokok tumbuhan yang belumpernah digunakan sebelum ini bagi menghasilkan patung wayang kulit Kelantan. Menerusi proses kreatifyang berlaku, kenaf atau nama saintifknya Hisbiscus Canabis telah digunakan dan seterusnya diprosesbermula daripada sejumlah debu pokok kenaf yang digaul dengan air sehinggalah kepada proses akhiriaitu menghasilkan patung wayang kulit Kelantan. Ia merupakan patung wayang kulit yang berasaskanpokok kenaf yang pertama di Malaysia. Pemerhatian dan temubual tidak berstruktur merupakan antarainstrumen utama dalam kajian ini selain daripada pengkaji sendiri sebagai instrumen dengan membina‘rapoot’ bersama penggiat seni ini ketika berada di lapangan kajian. Proses penghasilan patung wayangkulit yang berlaku sangat penting dalam analisis kepada dapatan kajian ini. Lima unsur penting telahdikenalpasti sebagai pencetus kepada inovasi ini. Penghasilan patung wayang kulit Kelantan berasaskankenaf tidak bermakna dapatan kajian ini telah menolak penggunaan kulit binatang secara total. Iamerupakan satu alternatif atau pilihan berbeza selain daripada menghasilkan patung wayang kulitberasaskan kulit binatang. Pembaharuan ini dilihat berupaya mengekalkan populariti seni teater warisanbangsa ini agar kekal relevan dan tidak dipinggirkan oleh golongan muda. Research on this case study aimed at introducing a plant-based plant that has not been used previouslyto produce Kelantan puppets. Through its creative process, kenaf or its scientific name Hibiscus Cannabishas been used and subsequently processed from the amount of kenaf tree dust mixed with water tothe final method of producing Kelantan puppets. It is a wayang kulit puppet based on the first kenaftree in Malaysia. An instrument of observations and unstructured interviews were used in this researchaside from the researchers as an actor in building rapport with the art enthusiasts during fieldwork. Theprocess of producing wayang kulit puppet is very important in the analysis of the findings of this study.Five important elements have been identified which triggered this innovation process. The productionof Kelantan puppets based on kenaf provides an alternative to the making Wayang Kulit puppet. Thesereforms help to maintain the popularity of the heritage of art theatre to remain relevant and not marginalizedby the young

Berry tea is a perennial vine. Its scientific name is ampelopsis grossedentata. It belongs to vitaceae and is widely spread in the Tujia people of Xiangxi, Hunan Province. By adopting appropriate agricultural planting technology, rational use of organic selenium fertilizer and nutritional conditioner, we can produce high-quality berry tea with more healthy and even medicinal value and high selenium content, and realize double protection of human health with high selenium content and high flavonoids. Under the existing planting system, through the supplement of breeding links, constructing ecological recycling agricultural system combining planting and raising, not only can greatly enrich the supply of table agricultural products, but also can effectively ensure the high quality and high safety of agricultural products, and can effectively enrich the local agricultural industrial structure.Key words: berry tea; selenium-enriched; ecological agriculture; industrial revitalization and economic development

The present work was undertaken to explore the ethno-medico-botanical values of aquatic plants from rural areas of Cuddalore District in Tamilnadu, India. Traditional knowledge of 22aquatic plants was identified as medicinally important species from local residents, vaidya, other medicine men and from othersources. Collected information’s are arranged in an alphabetical order followed by the sequence of scientific name, family, vernacular name, prescription and usage. Documentation of traditional knowledge of ethnomedico-botanical values of aquatic plant species will provide baseline information for investigating new biodynamic compounds of potential therapeutic uses in future.

The article presents the information about a systematic review of parasitic worms – acanthocephalans of the domestic waterfowl. Based on our own and literature data, 12 acanthocephala species belonging to the 1 order, 1 family and 5 genera were identified in domestic ducks (Anas platyrhynchos dom.) and geese (Anser anser dom.). Three species of worms are found in domestic waterfowl in Azerbaijan. The acanthocephala Polymorphus magnus have been reported for the first time in Azerbaijan – Khachmaz region in both birds. Six species of acanthocephals parasitize only in anseriformes, and the remaining six species parasitize including other orders of birds (Ciconiiformes, Gruiformes, Galliformes, Podicipediformes, Gaviiformes, Falconiformes, Charadriiformes et al.) and even mammals (Rodentia, Carnivora). Of the registered acanthocephals, 3 species have a small area of distribution, and the remaining 9 species have a wide area. Each species is provided with the following data: scientific name, authority and year, synonyms, final, intermediate and auxiliary hosts, habitat in the bird body, collecting localities and geographic distribution, prevalence (PI) and intensity (II) of infection, literature sources. Keywords: geese, duck, acanthocephala, systematic review, area, hosts
