Tropical tasar silkworm, Antheraea mylitta (Lepidoptera: Saturniidae) is a polyphagous silk producing forest silkworm of commercial importance in India. Forest dependent people rear its larvae on different forestry host plants twice or thrice in a year for small household income. Larvae of A. mylitta feeds on many forest tree species, but always show a great degree of selectivity as a function of its behavioural responses to physical structure and chemical features of the host plants. Cocoon crop of A. mylitta is influenced by heterogeneity of tasar food plants and climatic conditions of the habitat. The role of host plants, temperature, humidity, rainfall, photoperiod and climatic variables on the growth and development of insects have clearly been demonstrated. This article entails an in-depth analysis on ecological and nutritional aspects of A. mylitta, which may provide selective information to researcher and forest managers, who are particularly associated with livelihood improvement of the poor people in forested area through location specific forest insect industry.

This study aims to understand the characteristics of Asian OA journals and to identify differences by the countries. 3,103 DOAJ-registered OA journals from 21 Asian countries as of 2020 were selected and analyzed from various perspectives using correspondence and correlation analysis. The results revealed that Indonesia had the most DOAJ-registered open access journals, followed by Iran and India. An APC was not charged by 70% of journals, but this varied greatly by country. Meanwhile, as a result of comparing DOAJ-registered Asian journals with international citation database listed journals, 11% of journals were listed on Scopus and only 2.6% and 0.1% were listed on SCIE and SSCI, which is represents less than half of the global level. In addition, although there are many free to read local journals in China, Japan, and Korea, the number of OA journals registered in DOAJ is relatively small. Therefore, it is difficult to say that the progress of OA in local journals is fast even if the country's global research competitiveness is high.

Silkworm larval mortality specifically during spinning stage leading to non-spinning with specific morphological symptoms was frequently complained by sericulturists in Karnataka, India during 2015. Survey was conducted and information collected through questionnaire from the identified farmers who faced the problem of non-spinning in both traditional and non-traditional areas of Karnataka. Survey results indicate that the problem is specific to the silkworm crop of those farmers' who shifted from other crops of agriculture/ horticulture/olericulture/ floriculture to Sericulture. Silkworm rearing performance of the batches fed with these leaves confirmed that the pesticide sprayed to the crops previous to mulberry, remain in the soil and when mulberry plantation is taken up in these gardens, the pesticide is absorbed by the roots of mulberry plants and transported to the leaves. Silkworms that feed on these mulberry leaves, grow and ripen normally but during spinning stage, larvae die with external symptoms like regurgitation, body shrinkage, rectal protrusion later become hook shaped leading to non-spinning or partial metamorphosis into pupa and death or spin flimsy cocoons. Larval mortality ranged from a minimum of twenty five percent to a maximum of hundred percent. The problem was noticed from the first harvest of leaves and lasted for a maximum period of 36 months. Cocoon crop loss depends on the concentration, duration and type of pesticides used previously for other crops.

본 NEWASA 지역의 접수관정관개 개발에 따른 정제성분석 연구는 IBRD-EDI와 INDIA RESERVE BANK의 College of Banking이 공동주최한 Trainers Trining for Rural Finance (1985. 1.19-3.1)의 일환으로 1985. 2. 14-19 까지 NEWASA BLOCK에 대한 정수정관개의 경제적 효율성을 평가하기 위하여 농가조사를 실시하였고, 그 분석결과를 정리한 것으로 농지는 넓으나 농업용수가 부족한 본 지역은 빈곤과 저생산성 농촌잠재 실업을 특징으로 하고 있다. 농촌소득의 제고와 농촌실업의 고용확대는 전 인구의 80% 이상이 농민인 본지역뿐만 아니라 선언도 경제개발의 중심과제이다. 호당 6 acres 규모의 관개가 가능한 Dug-well Irrigation Development는 연평균 강우량이 650m/m에 불과한 인도의 Plateau 지역에서는 농촌빈곤과 실업문제의 해결, 토지 이용율제고를 통한 토지생산성 향상등 농촌경제개발의 중심과제로서 인도정부가 추진하는 핵심적인 농업정책이다. 본 지역의 농가호당 평균 소유농지연적은 8.67 acres(3.5ha)로써 모두가 Rainfed farming으로 현재 본 지역의 관개율은 17.5%에 불과하다. 농작물은 Jowar라고 하는 내한성 작물이 재배되며, 관개 조건하에서는 Jowar, Wheat, Sugarcane이 재배된다. With and Without Dug-Well Irrigation 조건하에서 각 작물별 ha당 생산성을 보면 Jowar는 0.86 ton/ha에서 2.22 ton/ha으로 증산되고 Wheat는 2.96 ton/ha, Sugarcane는 98.8 ton/ha이 생산된다. 한편 Dug-well Irrigation 전후의 농가소득의 변화를 보면 시행전의 4,275Rs가 되어 4배의 농가소득이 증가된다. 이와 같은 농업소득을 획득하기 위해서는 Dug-well에 대한 Initial Investment로서 33,400Rs(2,137,600원)이 투자되어야 하는데 종류별 융자 기간을 보면 Dug-well 15년(95%융자) Pump Set 9년(95%융자), Woriking capital 1년이며 인도의 Union Bank에서 융자하고 있다. 결론적으로 이러한 Dug-well Irrigation Development에 따른 IRR는 Before Financing시에는 29%이며 After Financing 시에는 24%이고 B/C ratio는 두경우에 있어 1.89, 1.24를 각각 나타냈다. 따라서, 본 사업은 재무적인 측면 즉 농가소득증대와 농촌고용증대 및 토지이용면에서 타당성이 크며 Dug-well Irrigation은 인도의 농업성장 및 경제개발의 관건으로 생각된다. 한국의 수리개발 기술 및 농업기술(Bio-chemical, Mechanical & Hydrological Technology)이 이전된다면 보다 괄목할 만한 농업발전이 이룩될 것을 생각된다.

Objective : The aim of this study is to review the historical development and current situation of Mongolian traditional medicine. Method : Systematic literature review for books, journals, governments statistics, reports on mongolian traditional medicine was carried out. Results : The theory of Mongolian traditional medicine is influenced by the philosophy and medical theories of the ancient orient such as India, Tibet and China-theories of hot and cold, principle of yin and yang and five elements. There are very unique treatments like brain tram concussion, fermented horse milk treatment as well as moxibustion, acupuncture, and blood letting. It appears that they are very closed to nomadic life. Training program of each institutes need to be standardized. Mongolian traditional medicine had been almost destroyed by the influence of communist idea from 1930s until the end of the 1980s. Since 1990, Mongolian government put much emphasis on the development of traditional medicine. And now about 3.7% of total beds is traditional medicine one and that there are six TM schools and the total number of traditional medicine in 2012 is 1696. However, there are still the lack of manpower, facilities, standardized training program and scientific research for traditional medicine. Conclusion : Mongolian traditional medicine has been developed over centuries in response to Mongolia's unique geographical and climate conditions and the lifestyles of its people and that made contribution to the health of mongolian people. However, it needs to be strengthened because there are poor infrastructure and training program.

Recent genome wide sequencing has identified mutations in IDH1/IDH2 predominantly in grade II-III gliomas and secondary glioblastomas which are associated with favorable clinical outcome. These mutations have become molecular markers of significant diagnostic and prognostic relevance in the assessment of human gliomas. In the current study we evaluated IDH1 (R132) and IDH2 (R172) in 32 gliomas of various grades and tumor subtypes. Sequencing analysis revealed R132H mutations in 18.7% tumors, while none of the cases showed IDH2 (R172) mutations. The frequency of IDH1 mutations was higher in females (21.4%) than males (11.1%), and it was significantly higher in younger patients. Histological analyses demonstrated presence of necrosis and micro vascular proliferation in 69% and 75% respectively. Interestingly, IDH1 mutations were predominantly present in non-necrotic tumors as well as in cases showing microvascular proliferation. Of the six IDH1 positive cases, three were glioblastomas (IV), and one each were anaplastic oligoastrocytoma (III), anaplastic oligodendroglioma III (n=1) and diffuse astrocytoma. In conclusion, IDH1 mutations are quite frequent in Indian glioma patients while IDH2 mutations are not observed. Since IDH mutations are associated with good prognosis, their use in routine clinical practice will enable better risk stratification and management of glioma patients.

Beating or refining is an energy intensive process in paper industry. In India, most of the paper industries blend long fibered softwood pulps with short fibered hardwood or agro based pulps to get the paper properties of competitive level. Refining characteristics of the blend of pulps is very crucial with respect to freeness and strength properties. This study has been carried out to understand the refining behavior of three hardwood pulps and a softwood pulp. The hardwood and softwood pulps are blended in different proportions in two different ways; a) blending after their separate refining, and b) blending before refining followed by mixed refining of the blended pulps. Freeness of pulp, strength, optical and surface properties of paper along with formation have been determined and compared for both the refining methods. The fiber classification of refined pulps was also carried out to analyze the effect of refining method on fiber morphology. The mixed refining of hardwood and softwood pulps marginally affects the fiber morphology in comparison to separate refining of pulps. The strength and other properties of paper prepared from mixed refining of pulps are either better or comparable than those of separately refined pulps.

In this study, we have developed an index suitable for determining nanotechnology competitiveness. The analytic hierarchy process is used to compared Korean nanotechnology competitiveness with nine high-ranked countries in terms of OECD GDP along with China, India, and Russia. We fund Korea to be ranked fourth among the twelve countries. Despite Korean high rank, it has some problems with regard to infrastructure and industry development. To become a leading country in nanotechnology, Korea needs to strategically invest into research capabilities for nanotechnology, support industry convergence based on nanotechnology, and increase investment into infrastructure development. The findings of this study will contribute to enhancing nanotechnology-related policies and research.
