Kalanchoe laciniata (l.) dc a lesser known indian medicinal plant ijsit 2.2.6IJSIT Editor
Kalanchoe laciniata (L.) DC. (Family: Crassulaceae), commonly known as ‘Christmastree plant’ has a long history of
traditional medicinal uses. Traditionally, the plant is used for treating common cough and cold, wounds,
inflammation, diabetes etc. Further, the plant is reported to contain cardiac glycosides. In spite of several
important ethnopharmacological uses, the plant has not been much explored by the researchers so far. This review
will inspire the future investigators for further screening of the plant to expedite the natural drug discovery
process.
Moringa oleifera (family Moringaceae) is the only genus which is cultivated most widely. Moringa is commonly known
as drumstick tree, horseradish tree, benzoil tree etc. Moringa oleifera is very resistant, fast growing and requires very less amount
of water to grow, i.e. it can grow also in drought conditions. Drumstick tree is a native of southern foothills of the Himalayas in
north-west India, and it is widely cultivated in India in tropical and subtropical regions were the seed pods are used as a part of
the diet.
Moringa is used since the ancient times in India and is also a native of India. Moringa is having very high nutritional
values with around 40 antioxidants and is rich in vitamins A, B, C, D, E and K. Not only vitamins but the plant is also very rich
in mineral contents and contains Ca, Cu, Fe, K, Mg, Mn, and Zn. The properties and contents of Moringa can cure a number
of deficiencies and diseases. The consumption of Moringa can control blood pressure, eyesight, prepare mental alertness and
bone strength. Moringa is also used as a fodder for livestock. Therefore, this paper is enlightening the use of Moninga as a rich
source of food for the nutritional enrichment.
Ethnobotanical studies of sacred aegle marmelos plantIJARIIT
Ethnobotany is a multidisciplinary science defined as the interaction between plants and people. The relationship
between plants and human culture is not limited to the use of plants or food, clothing, and shelter but also includes their use of
religious ceremonies, ornamentation and health care.
In the past, Ethnobotanical research was predominantly a survey of the plant used by villagers. A trained
botanist identified the plants and recorded their uses. Sometimes an anthropologist was present to translate the disease
descriptions, but rarely was a physician available to identify the disease. In this paper, we discussed 8 plants that selected from
the total work associated with the topic.
Medicinal plants are considered as a rich resources of ingredients which can be used in drug development. More than 30% of the entire plant species, at one time or other were used for medicinal purposes. It has been estimated that in developed countries like United States, plant drugs constitute as much as 25% of the total drugs, while in fast developing countries like India and China the contribution is as much as 80%. These countries provide two third of the plants used in modern system of medicine and the health care system of rural population depend on indigenous systems of medicine. Most of the drugs are considered very safe as there is no or minimal side effects.

Plants are mainly multicellular organisms, predominantly photosynthetic eukaryotes of the kingdom Plantae. Historically, plants were treated as one of two kingdoms including all living things that were not animals, and all algae and fungi were treated as plants.
However, all current definitions of Plantae exclude the fungi and some algae, as well as the prokaryotes (the archaea and bacteria). By one definition, plants form the clade Viridiplantae (Latin name for "green plants"), a group that includes the flowering plants, conifers and other gymnosperms, ferns and their allies, hornworts, liverworts, mosses, and the green algae, but excludes the red and brown algae.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.
The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.
Embracing GenAI - A Strategic ImperativePeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.
June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202

ABSTRACT
Since ancient times plants are used for their medicinal and cosmetic properties. India has well-recorded
and well practiced knowledge of traditional herbal medicine. Butea monosperma popularly known as
Flame of the Forest, Dhak, Palash or ‘Bastard teak’ which has immense potential and appears to have a
broad spectrum of activity on several ailments. Previous phytochemical examination of this plant
indicated the presence of various constituents some of these are Cajanin and isoformononetin; Stigma
sterol; Butin; two known flavonoids, isobutrin (3, 4, 2', 4'-tetrahydroxychalcone-3, 4'-diglucoside), and
the less active butrin (7, 3', 4'-trihydroxyflavanone-7, 3'-diglucoside); free sugars and free amino acids
and (-)-3-hydroxy-9-methoxypterocarpan[(-)-medicarpin which were isolated from stem-bark extract;
bark; seeds; flower; the petroleum ether extract of flowers and petroleum and ethyl acetate extract of stem
bark. Many reported pharmacological properties include anthelmintic, anticonceptive, anticonvulsive,
antidiabetic, antidiarrhoeal, antiestrogenic and antifertility, antiinflammatory, antimicrobial, antifungal,
antibacterial, antistress, chemopreventive, haemaggultinating, hepatoprotective, radical scavenging,

INTRODUCTION
Since ancient times plants are used for their
medicinal and cosmetic properties. India has well-
recorded and well practiced knowledge of
traditional herbal medicine. Butea monosperma
(Lam.) is commonly well-known as Flame of
forest, belongs to the family Fabaceae [1]
. It is
locally called as palas, palash, mutthuga,
bijasneha, dhak, khakara, chichra, Bastard Teak,
Bengal Kino, and Nourouc and is common
throughout India, Burma and Ceylon except in
very acrid parts. Generally it grows extrovertly on
open grasslands and spread in mixed forest.
Plantations can be raised both on irrigated and dry
lands. The pods should be collected and sown
before the commencement of rains, root suckers
are freely produced and help in vegetative
propagation. In India, palas ranks subsequently to
kusum (schleichera trijuga) as a host tree for lac
insect [2, 3]
. It has proven to be a source of
constitutive osteogenic agents belonging to
isoflavonoid and pterocarpan groups. The genus
Butea includes Butea monosperma, Butea
parviflora, Buteaminor and Butea superba widely
distributed throughout India [4]
. It holds an
important place because of its medicinal and other
miscellaneous uses of economic value. It is one of
the most beautiful tree has been put to some useful
purpose. Butea monosperma is extensible used in
Ayurveda, Unani and Homeopathic medicine and
has become a cynosure of current medicine. The
plants of this genus are well known for their
colouring matters. Commonly Butea monosperma
is used as tonic, astringent, aphrodisiac and
diuretics [5]
. It is an erect tree 12-15 m high with
crooked trunk and irregular branches bark rough,
ash coloured, and young parts downy. Leaves are
3-foliate, petioles 10-15 cm long, stipules linear
lanceolate. Leaflets coriaceous, all obtuse,
glabrous above when old and conspicuously
reticulately veined beneath; petioles 6 mm long,
stout-stipples subulate, deciduous. Flowers are
