Plant is not only closely related to human beings’ life, but also an integral part of raw materials in production. Protection of nature and plant resources is an increasingly urgent needs around the world. Cognition is a prerequisite for the protection of plant. But the way of plant science popularization is old, the knowledge of plant is too obscure to the general public. The system of plant science popularization based on the QR code spreads the knowledge of plant with illustrations interactively, to facilitate ordinary users to learn, understand and identify plant species. The article will detail all aspects of development of the system, allowing more scholars to understand the digitized plant science popularization under the new media.

Contemporary Architecture

Many, if not a majority, of the world’s citizens view contemporary architecture as ineffective in accommodating the lives of everyday human beings. And yet, voluminous texts by prominent architects and the media argue just the opposite; that, in fact, flashy and expensive new projects profoundly benefit humanity. Those buildings supposedly provide continued advancement in how humans occupy the world. While there is no doubt that the built environment is instrumental to human achievement and wellbeing, what is the true value of the ill-formed, and perhaps ill-conceived, products of today’s leading architects? This essay argues that the elite power structure behind high-profile architectural projects is focused more upon promoting like-minded architects, and their narrow ideological interests, than in satisfying the ordinary everyday user. In doing so, this activity irrevocably damages the environment and markedly diminishes human neuro-physiological engagement with the man-made world. The logical conclusion from this purposeful misrepresentation is that the profession deliberately manipulates both the general public and architecture students to serve its own agenda.

Among 100 species of Swertia reported from the world, Nepal harbors 30 species along with four varieties. In Nepal, species of Swertia are highly exploited as raw materials for different traditional medicines. Among them, S. chirayita, a vulnerable species, has been considered to be superior in medicine and trade. One of the main issues in its trade is adulteration with other species which are considered to be inferior in medicinal quality. Species which are mixed with S. chirayita are S. angustifolia, S. ciliata, S. dilatata, S. paniculata, S. racemosa, etc. There is a need for the selection of most important morphological characteristics for instant identification of different species of Swertia to check illegal trade as well as adulteration. This paper aims to provide the most important identifying characters of eight species of Swertia traded from Nepal on the basis of their morphological studies. Color of the petal, number of floral parts (tetramerous vs. pentamerous) and number of glands in petal are the key characters for the identification of the species. Key-words: adulteration; medicinal plant; morphological characters.DOI: 10.3126/botor.v6i0.2906 Botanica Orientalis - Journal of Plant Science (2009) 6: 18-24

When the Royal Botanic Gardens at Kew in South London were opened to the general public in the 1840s, they were presented as a ‘world text’: a collection of flora from all over the world, with the spectacular tropical (read: colonial) specimens taking centre stage as indexes of Britain’s imperial supremacy. However, the one exotic plant species that preoccupied the British cultural imagination more than any other remained conspicuously absent from the collection: the banyan tree, whose non-transferability left a significant gap in the ‘text’ of the garden, thereby effectively puncturing the illusion of comprehensive global command that underpins the biopolitical designs of what Richard Grove has aptly dubbed ‘green imperialism’. This article demonstrates how, in the 19th and early 20th centuries, the banyan tree became an object of fascination and admiration for British scientists, painters, writers and photographers precisely because of its obstinate non-availability to colonial control and visual or even conceptual representability.

Viewing Experience

Stereoscopic photography utilizes dual camera lenses that are placed at approximately the interocular distance of human beings in order to replicate the slight difference between what each eye sees and therefore the effect of parallax. The pair of images that results is then viewed through a stereoscope. By adjusting the device, the user eventually sees the two photographs merge into a single one that has receding planes of depth, often producing a vivid illusion of intense depth. Stereoscopy was used by photographers throughout the second half of the Nineteenth Century to document every building that was deemed to be culturally significant by the European and American photographers who pioneered the medium, starting with its introduction to the general public at the Crystal Palace in London in 1851. By the early 1900s, consumers in Europe and America could purchase from major firms stereoscopic libraries of buildings from around the world. Stereoscopic photography brought together the emotional, technical and informed acts of looking, especially with regard to architecture. In this essay, the focus in upon the first of those acts, wherein the phenomenal and spatial dimensions of viewing are examined. Images of architecture are used to argue that the medium not only was a manifestation of Maurice Merleau-Ponty’s phenomenology of perception, but also validated the philosophy. After an analysis of how stereoscopic photography and Merleau-Ponty’s philosophy intersect, seven stereographs of architectural and urban subjects are discussed as examples, with the spatial boundaries of architecture and cities argued as especially adept in highlighting connections between the medium and the philosophy. In particular, the notion of Fundierung relationships, the heart of Merleau-Ponty phenomenology, is shown to closely align with the stereoscopic viewing experience describing layers of dependency.

Sound Character

The concept of nglebur laras this time is interpreted as the concept of melting the barrel in all situations and conditions in the Karawitan art activity area. The concept can be interpreted as a draw concept, it will not draw if you forget the barrel between them (between the barrel of the pelog and between the barrel of the slendro). Everything always passes between them. Between the barrel of the pelog and the barrel of slendro, half pelog and half slendro it is the behavior of the barrel event which cannot be guessed its existence in the strains of Karawitan's gendhing. Whatever form of sound character is displayed by the barrel of pelog, slendro, and between the two, the fact is that the phenomenon of mixed barrel beating is still called the class of the barrel (of course), and on the concept of karawitan (in particular). The spread of this mixed barrel work is indeed very rapid, especially in the Java area. Pengrawit social society that often makes works by processing mixed tunings is now very spoiled, the habit of looking for the attention of the general public, making the general public become excited by the existence of mixed barrel work, considered uniqueness that is not boring. On the contrary, if the general public understands the condition and essence of the barrel work in general, it will be a suspicion that might be considered damaging the standard and so on.The actualization sought was to create an archipelago music art work with a gender instrument by mixing the duality of the barrel, namely pelog and slendro in one instrument. This Nglebur Laras has multiple interpretations. Nglebur is a term used by gamelan makers / craftsmen, which means the activity of mixing raw materials (iron, tin, copper) into liquid. Nglebur can be interpreted as melting mix or which can also be called mbesot. Nglebur is the main ingredient in making gamelan because iron, tin and copper which are still hard must be cooked first to the point of melting. Then the barrel is the essence that plays an important role in the world of Karawitan. Laras has two special concepts called pelog and slendro. These two different concepts certainly have different characters. Laras is one of the important pieces of furniture. Laras consists of two groups, namely, pelog barrel and slendro barrel. Both types of barrel are one of the two main elements that characterize music. Laras in the world of karawitan has three plural meanings, namely, first; something that is (comfortable) or delicious to be heard or lived, second; namely the sound that has been determined the number of frequencies (penunggul, gulu, dhadha, pelog, lima, nem and item). The third meaning is the scale or scale, which is the arrangement of the notes in the number of sequences and the interval patterns of the tones have been determined. The taste is related to tastes like the expression Rahayu Supanggah in his book Bothekan Karawitan I that 'the barrel is very close to taste, taste can be formed by culture, including local traditions and habits'. The two words that are deliberately combined through all the 'combinations' that the author means are infallibility or an interesting possibility of all possibilities that might occur. It can also be understood that the title of the Nglebur Laras is a synergy or a fusion of all the anxieties in human social culture and social culture of Javanese music (especially the Javanese Gamelan).Keywords: Nglebur, barrel, and unity.

Pain And Suffering

AbstractA useful philosophical case against vivisection influential with the general public rests on the following three premises: (1) animals have interests as conscious beings; (2) it is unethical to cause pain and suffering to conscious beings for trivial reasons; and (3) animal models cannot be extrapolated to human beings, so vivisection is a trivial reason. Darwinian arguments have been used to back up each of the three premises above, and, furthermore it has been asserted by animal liberationists that those who do not hold to the evolutionary paradigm are more likely to support vivisection. Here, we present arguments that show why a belief in Darwinism (or in evolution generally) neither strengthens nor weakens the three anti-vivisectionist premises above. We also argue that there is no evidence to suggest that Darwinists are any less (or more) likely to support vivisection than those who hold views on biological origin that are further from the scientific mainstream. By leaving out arguments on origins, we hope that Darwinists, non-Darwinist evolutionists and creationists of all types can work together to make the world a better place for non-human animals.

Origin Point

Hieroglyphs have persisted for so long in the Western imagination because of the malleability of their metaphorical meanings. Emblems of readability and unreadability, universality and difference, writing and film, writing and digital media, hieroglyphs serve to encompass many of the central tensions in understandings of race, nation, language and media in the twentieth century. For Pound and Lindsay, they served as inspirations for a more direct and universal form of writing; for Woolf, as a way of treating the new medium of film and our perceptions of the world as a kind of language. For Conrad and Welles, they embodied the hybridity of writing or the images of film; for al-Hakim and Mahfouz, the persistence of links between ancient Pharaonic civilisation and a newly independent Egypt. For Joyce, hieroglyphs symbolised the origin point for the world’s cultures and nations; for Pynchon, the connection between digital code and the novel. In their modernist interpretations and applications, hieroglyphs bring together writing and new media technologies, language and the material world, and all the nations and languages of the globe....
