This study investigated the ability of Bothriochloa bladhii (Retz.) S.T. Blake (Poaceae), Cyperus ligularis L. (Cyperaceae), Commelina erecta L. (Commelinaceae), Mariscus umbellatus (Rottb.) Vahl (Cyperaceae), Fimbistylis miliacea L. (Cyperaceae) and Torulinium odoratum L. (Cyperaceae) to clean up various levels of used motor oil (UMO) contaminated soils. The plants were grown in 2 kg garden soils treated to 0%, 1%, 5% and 10% levels of UMO contamination. The plant growth parameters, chlorophyll contents and dry weight of test plants were measured. The phytoremediation ability of these test plants were assessed by measuring the uptake of hydrocarbons in terms of total hydrocarbon content (THC) as well as their percentage degradation values. There was significant (P < 0.05) reduction in leaf chlorophyll contents and dry weights of the test plant species planted in UMO contaminated soils. THC as well as the percentage uptake (or degradation) of hydrocarbons were both lowest in C. ligularis but highest in T. odoratum in all cases. The phytoremediation potential of test plants was highest in soils contaminated with 5% UMO. Based on the results of this study, all test plants with the exception of C. ligularis were potentially capable of undertaking phytoremediation. However, B. bladhii and T. odoratum proved most effective in the uptake and degradation of UMO.

Objectives: The Barak Valley is well known for its rich diversity of medicinal plants. Ethnomedicinal practices are prominent among Barak Valley's major and minor ethnic groups. This systemic review focuses on traditionally used medicinal plants found in the Barak Valley as reported in different ethnobotanical surveys. Methods: We searched various databases, including PubMed, Web of Science, and Google Scholar, to find ethnomedicinal surveys conducted in the Barak Valley. The search was performed using different terms, including ethnomedicinal survey, folk medicine, indigenous knowledge, and Barak Valley. Potential articles were identified following the exclusion and inclusion criteria. Results: A total of eight ethnobotanical surveys were included in this study. We identified a total of 216 plant species belonging to 167 genera and 87 families, which are widely used by the ethnic communities who live in the rural areas of Barak Valley for the treatment of various diseases and ailments. Conclusion: Folk medicine is the result of decades of accumulated knowledge and practices by people who live in rural communities based on their needs and provides an important source of information to assist the search for new pharmaceuticals. Therefore, available information on traditional medicinal plants needs to be explored scientifically to find effective and alternative treatments for different diseases.

본 실험은 방울토마토(Lycopersicon esculentum var. cerasiforme) 농가에서 자가제조한 토착미생물 액비를 3년 및 5년간 연용 처리하였을 때 토양 화학성 및 미생물상과 작물의 생장에 어떠한 영향을 미치는지를 비교하고자 수행하였다. 실험구는 3-year IM(토착미생물 3년 노지 처리구), 5-year IM(토착미생물 5년 노지 처리구), EM(effective microorganisms; EM 10년 온실 처리구)으로 분류하였고, 모두 1,000배로 희석하여 웃거름으로 관주하였다. IM과 EM 액비 자재의 pH 수준은 16주간 증가하였고 특히 EM의 pH는 1.2정도 상승하였다. IM 자재의 EC는 약간 높았지만 EM과 비슷한 수준인 0.2 dS/m으로 나타났다. 온실 내 포트 실험에서는 IM으로 처리된 토마토 뿌리의 건물중이 크게 증가하였다. 액비 처리에 따른 농가 현장 실험에서는 IM 액비 처리구의 pH는 7.5로 높았고 EC도 8.4 dS/m로 염류 과잉 수준을 보였다. EM 처리구의 유기물함량은 62 g/kg으로 가장 높았고 전질소 등 필수 무기성분 농도를 증가시키는데 영향을 끼쳤다. 하지만 IM 처리구에서도 토마토 생장을 위한 적절한 토양 화학성 수준이 관찰되었다. EM 처리구에서 세균수와 방선균수가 가장 증가하였다. EM으로 처리된 작물의 대량 무기성분 농도는 인산을 제외하고는 높게 나타났고 3-year IM과 5-year IM 처리구에서는 비슷한 무기성분 농도가 관찰되었다. 잎의 SPAD와 PSII 수준은 3-year IM 처리에서 낮게 나타났다. 토마토 작물의 엽폭, 엽장, 엽수, 수관면적, 초장, 경경은 생육 중기에는 EM 처리구에서 높은 수준이었으나 생육 후기에는 처리구 간에 비슷하였다. EM 처리로 잎 건물중은 IM 처리보다 2배 이상 높았지만 수확과수는 2배 이상 감소되었다.

Reproductive dysfunction is a major health concern amongst the inhabitants of Tana River County. An ethno botanical study was conducted in Garsen, Itsowe and Ngao sub divisions of Tana River County to document the utilization of medicinal plants for the management of female reproductive ailments. The target population was practicing herbalists from Pokomo, Ormo and Giryama communities in the study area. Structured questionnaires and focussed group discussions were used to collect data. Forty eight plant species distributed in 40 genera and 29 families were documented as being important for the management of pregnancy related complications, menstrual disorders, infertility, fibroids and as contraceptives. The species most frequently cited by the herbalists were fourteen. Fifty two percent of the plant species were probably being mentioned for the first time as being useful in reproductive health management. In conclusion, Tana River has a pool of TMPs with a wealth of indigenous knowledge that needs to be exploited. The plants used to treat dysmenorrhea for example may be important analgesic agents that need further investigation while those with anti-fertility properties may contain steroidal phyto chemical compounds. Such species therefore need further investigation to establish their efficacy and mechanism of action.

Natural resource plants have been useful and helpful materials for human to against diseases and Prevention since ancient Egyptian and Roman times. However, according to recent survey, its habitat and indigenous are continuously decreased and almost extinct some valuable species, as Adonis vernalis, Digitalis lanata etc., especially in Eastern Europe and east Asian countries due to radical political and social reforms. ESCOP and FAO have already initiated to protect the endangered species for conservation, protection and propagation technology but it is not easy tasks without global concerning. Most natural resource plants have volatile components in essential oils and its consumption and demanding is increased every year, which contained certain compounds have no side effects and good properties for biological activities. Essential oils of natural resource plants are also well known for medical purposes, such as Central Nervous System (CNS, linalool), anticancer (d-limonene, perillyl alcohol, etc.), microbial and fungicidal activities (menthol, borneol, etc). Essential oil also used for natural therapy to prevent and increase immune systems instead of chemical synthesis drugs. With this, researchers of natural resource plants are ultimately faced to develop and optimal technology for increasing the Korean farmer's income by high added-value herbal products in present and future.

Indigenous energy resources available in Korea are limited to the three major resources such as Korean anthracite, hydraulic potential and wood and straws. As reported in various reports concerning energy problem in Korea, unfortunately these three major resources are not only poor in quality but also limited in quantity. The amount of energy to be imported, which will be increased at a considerably high rate by years due to the shortage in the supply by domertic sources against the demand, is studied in the view-pint of sound and logical energy dependence upon the external sources. What would occur, if the imported energy would be exclusively limited to an energy source only, has an enough reason to be paid a significant consideration. As a result, the feasibility is discarded in favour of nuclear power plants after an extensive prospect for electric power development plan covering more than coming thirty years, i.e., up to the year of 2,000 A.D. In briefing, this paper indicates that a measures to accomodate as large amount of nuclear power plants as possible in the electric power system is not only inevitable for a sound solution of the severe energy problem with which Korea is to be confronted but also leads to the national benefit.
