This is an ethnobotanical article that explains the use of plants by the people of Simeulue Island, Aceh to protect open agricultural fields (ladang) and rice fields (sawah) from free roaming-grazing livestock, particularly water buffalo, cows, and goats. In Simeulue, the livestock  are released roaming free for food.  In order to protect the open agricultural and rice fields, the people of Simeulue Island various species of plants are planted as living fences. The species selected are based on the local knowledge of plant morphology. The result of the current study indicates that 23 species of plants are implemented, in which the seeds and seedlings are found in the forests near the villages. In 2007, one foreign species known locally as ‘gamel’ (Gliricidia sepium; Fabaceae, the South American original) has been introduced for their easy planted, fast growing nature, and have been widely planted since.   Kajian ini hendak melihat pemanfaatan tumbuhan sebagai pagar hidup yang melindungi lahan pertanian dan perkebunan dari hewan ternak yang dilepas-liarkan sehingga masuk ke lahan perkebunan masyarakat dan memakan tanaman. Untuk mengantisipasinya, masyarakat membuat pagar hidup yang berupa jenis-jenis pohon yang ditanam mengelilingi lahan. Melalui penelitian etnobotani diketahui bahwa masyarakat memilih jenis-jenis pohon yang dijadikan pagar hidup berdasarkan pengetahuan lokal terkait dengan tumbuhan. Jenis-jenis yang dipilih adalah jenis-jenis yang mudah tumbuh dan bisa bertahan dalam kerapatan. Dari hasil penelitian diketahui terdapat 23 jenis tumbuhan yang digunakan untuk pagar hidup. Dari jumlah tersebut sebagian besar tumbuh di hutan sekitar pemukiman mereka. Sejak tahun 2007 satu jenis baru, ‘gamel’ (Gliricidia sepium; Fabaceae, jenis asli Amerika Selatan) didatangkan dan ditanam menggantikan jenis lama. Tanaman baru ini lebih mudah ditanam, cepat tumbuh, dan kini sudah ditanam secara luas.

BACKGROUND Infoveillance is an application from Infodemiology field with the aim to monitor public health and create public policies. Social sensor is the people providing thought, ideas through electronic communication channels(i.e. Internet). The actual scenario is related to tackle the covid19 impact over the world, many countries have the infrastructure, scientists to help the growth and countries took actions to decrease the impact. South American countries have a different context about Economy, Health and Research, so Infoveillance can be a useful tool to monitor and improve the decisions and be more strategical. The motivation of this work is analyze the capital of Spanish Speakers Countries in South America using a Text Mining Approach with Twitter as data source. The preliminary results helps to understand what happens two weeks ago and opens the analysis from different perspectives i.e. Economics, Social. OBJECTIVE Analyze the behaviour of South American Capitals in front of covid19 pandemics and show the helpfulness of Text Mining Approach for Infoveillance tasks. METHODS Text Mining process RESULTS - Argentina and Venezuela capitals are the biggest number of post during this period, opposite with Bolivia, Ecuador and Uruguay. - Most relevant users are related to mass media like radio, television or newspapers. - There is a general concern about covid19 but every country talks about different areas: Economics, Health, Environmental Impact. CONCLUSIONS Infoveillance based on Social Sensors with data coming from Twitter can help to understand the trends on the population of the capitals. Besides, it is necessary to filter the posts for processing the text and get insights about frequency, top users, most important terms. This data is useful to analyse the population from different approaches. INTERNATIONAL REGISTERED REPORT RR2-https://doi.org/10.1101/2020.04.06.20055749

Abstract Indonesia is one of the wealthiest countries in biological resources that have potential as medicinal plants. Medicinal plants can be an alternative in treating diseases such as urinary tract problems by the people of eastern Indonesia. The study aims to evaluate the use of medicinal plants for various urinary tract problems in east Indonesia, including their efficacy and safety based on the literature review. This research was conducted by interview method and field survey. The data were collected from traditional health practitioners in eastern Indonesia. Data were analyzed using Frequency of Citation (FC) and the Use value (UV). The results showed a total of 222 plants species belonging to 78 families were identified for treating urinary tract problems in east Indonesia. The most prevalent of these was the Euphorbiaceae family. The species which had the highest value were Orthosiphon aristatus (FC 12.52%, UV 0.31), Sericocalyx crispus (FC 7.80%; UV 0.19), Phyllanthus niruri (FC 6.35%; UV 0.16) were the vast majority commonly used plant species in the treatment of urinary tract problems. The most common parts used were leaves (44.87%) and herbs (10.66%). The ethnomedicinal flora in east Indonesia is quite diverse for treating urinary tract problems.

Sociology Of Food

AbstractThis article examines the dietary habits of the predominantly rural (and also urban) population from Romania, in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. In order to access valid data regarding the diet of the local population, we used the analysis of social documents: journals and memoirs of foreign travelers transiting the Romanian Principalities (Wallachia and Moldavia) throughout the nineteenth century, respectively the monographic research of the Sociological School of Bucharest published mainly in the magazine called Sociologie Românească (1936-1942). At various points in time, we employed comparisons between the diet of the people from urban and rural environments, or between the food regimens of adults and children, correlations between the dietary habits and health status of the population, and between the dietary habits from Romania and those from other European and South American countries. A reading of the current article reveals certain a continuity, for hundreds of years, concerning the deficient dietary regimen of the Romanian peasant, who relied heavily on mămăligă, eaten together with several dairy products. Another conclusion is that, in the rural environment, food scarcity was not economically conditioned: even in the relatively prosperous households that were supplied with all the necessary aliments, women prepared plain, tasteless dishes, because they did not know how to cook. And finally, from a theoretical perspective, in this article we aim to address the rural roots of Romanian historiography and sociology of food (which we shall attempt to examine against similar scientific approaches from Western Europe).

On the morning of 12 December 1895, a well-dressed young man enters the railway station in the city of Semarang. He purchases a ticket, walks around on the platform, and then gets on the train to Solo, ready for departure. Once the machine starts moving, the man looks out of the window, visibly confused. He turns to his fellow passengers, many of them unknown to him. In Malay, the language of travellers, he exchanges information, tells and hears stories, discusses issues of daily life, of himself, of the people who, out in the rice fields, on the roads, in the plantations, are staring at the roaring machine passing by. Now and then the man looks into his own heart again, losing himself in empty thoughts. And with every tick of his watch the landscape out there changes its appearance. And farmers and labourers stop their work, distracted by the awesome noise of the iron monster.

The Cost

This research was motivated by the reveal of the phenomenon in Jeblok, Brudu Village, Sumobito District, Jombang Regency. In this village, the people object to the level of agricultural zakah that has to pay regarding the high costs of cultivating rice fields. It is interesting phenomenon whereas this village has a wide agriculture land for about 47, 48 acres. This was field research by using descriptive-analytic methods. This type of research was qualitative by applying a comparative approach between the case approach and the conceptual approach and the Maqashid Shari'ah approach. The results showed that the potential of agricultural zakat in Jeblok, Brudu Village, Sumobito District, Jombang Regency is very large. However, farmers argue about levels of agricultural zakah that must be paid. They feel that 5% and 10% are too burdensome because of the high cost of processing rice fields. Therefore, the people demand equal tariff between agriculture zakah level and trade zakah because both require capital to manage. In this case Islamic law is sociological-anthropocentric which is very concerned with aspects of the application of law within the scope of society. In general, the nature of Islamic law is elastic and not rigid, so that tariffs or levels of agricultural zakat which are very expensive (5% or 10%) can be changed to be more affordable for the community. Therefore, through the maqashid shari'ah approach, the level of agriculture zakah can be set into 2.5% following the level of zakah trade after deducting the cost of cultivating rice fields.

Novel coronavirus, a severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) causes COVID-19, which has been a global threat for human health. The infection of coronavirus spread worldwide. Particularly, the rapid spread in the South American and Asian countries is concerning where population density is very high, and health facilities are inadequate compared to developed countries. In developing countries, people are less willing to go to physicians or hospitals to diagnose diseases. Self-medication is a widespread and prominent practice in those countries, particularly taking of antibiotics. Hence, antibiotics, particularly azithromycin and other last-resort antibiotics related to respiratory tract infection, might be misused or overused for COVID-19 treatment. Therefore, we recommend to the responsible authorities to take an urgent initiative to concern the people of developing and least developed countries about the misuse or overuse of antibiotics against the coronavirus.

Abstract The magnitude of facilitation by shelter-building engineers on community structure is expected to be greater when they increase limited resources in the environment. We evaluated the influence of local environmental context on the colonisation of leaf shelters by arthropods in a Mexican evergreen tropical rainforest. We compared the species richness and abundance of arthropods (total and for different guilds) colonising artificially rolled leaves in habitats differing in understory heterogeneity (forest edge > old-growth forests > living fences). Arthropod abundance of the most representative arthropod taxa (i.e., Araneae, Blattodea, Collembola and Psocoptera) colonising the rolled leaves was greater at forest edge, a trend also observed for average arthropod abundance, and for detritivore and predator guilds. In addition, fewer arthropod species and individuals colonised the rolled leaves in the living fence habitat, a trend also observed for most arthropod guilds. As forest edge is expected to have a greater arthropod diversity and stronger density-dependent interactions, a greater limitation of refuges from competitors or predators may have determined the higher colonisation of the rolled leaves in this habitat. Our results demonstrate that local environment context is an important factor that affects the colonisation of arthropods in leaf shelters.
