Anesthetic Efficacy of Cymbopogon citratus Essential Oil as a Herbal Agent in Two Ornamental Fish Species
Get PDFThe efficacy of Cymbopogon citratus essential oil (CcEO) as a herbal anesthetic agent was evaluated for two ornamental fish species, Sciaenochromis fryeri and Labidochromis caeruleus. Fish were exposed to various essential oil concentrations and the lowest effective concentrations were determined according to deep anesthesia (AD<3 min) and full recovery (RF<10 min) times. CcEO showed anesthetic traits and induced AD in S. fryeri and L. caeruleus. The lowest effective concentrations was 200 μl/L for S. fryeri (AD; RF → 122 ± 1.8 s; 638 ± 8.9 s) and 200 μl/L for L. caeruleus (AD ; RF → 139 ± 6.9 s ; 625 ± 11.1 s). At concentration of 25 μl/L C. citratus essential oil did not induce AD in both of ornamental fish species. No significant differences were found between fish species in terms of induction and recovery times for same concentrations excluding AD time of 200 μl/L concentration. Although the fastest AD were obtained by 300 μl/L, recovery times were prolonged and fish did not full recover in 20 min. Induction and recovery times for CcEO were significantly dependent on concentrations and negative relationships were recorded between AD and RF. Neither mortality nor adverse effects were observed on two fish species. As a result, CcEO showed anesthetic properties for S. fryeri and L. caeruleus
Revisiting Rapa Nui Matā
Get PDFBased on a use-wear and residue analysis of a collection of 12 matā in the Australian
Museum, Sydney, we question the value of relying on tool shape as an adequate indication
of past use. Although the tools in this collection were used for a broad range of tasks,
including plant processing, wood, shell and bone working, and cutting and piercing of flesh
or skin, some may have been used in interpersonal conflict. The study illustrates the value of
museum ethnographic collections for understanding past tool use
Using Wikipedia to increase the visibility of digital collections: an editathon

This session is all about how to teach using Wikipedia, how librarians can contribute to the creation and dissemination of information through Wikipedia, and ultimately work to improve it. Teaching with Wikipedia allows librarians to reinforce valuable information literacy concepts in a format students understand and librarians, with a keen understanding of information concepts, are perfectly poised to contribute to Wikipedia. During the first part of this session, attendees will learn about teaching with Wikipedia and will get an overview of Wikipedia's policies. In the second half, attendees will learn to edit Wikipedia by adding citations to existing articles. Join us on our quest to become Wikipedians! *Please bring your own device and sign up at the following link: https://outreachdashboard.wmflabs.org/courses/HLAConference/Introduction_to_Wikipedia_editing?enroll=pjfywnu
E 'imi i na Kumuwaiwai o ka 'aina : Seeking the sources of knowledge of the land
Get PDFIn the 1990s Dr. George Kanahele successfully instituted "A Hawaiian sense of place," in visitor destinations i.e. Waikīkī which has been adopted throughout the state. Today, place-based learning is embraced in multiple disciplines and can be applied to all libraries serving diverse patrons. This presentation will provide you the tools and repositories, some of them obscure, to effectively discover the myriad of place-based knowledge about our islands. The various approaches to implement this and how this knowledge has influenced decision-making in Hawai'i nei will be shared. Former HLA and Association of Hawai’i Archivists President Helen Wong Smith will share these resources and examples based on 35+ years of working with and in Hawaiian collections authoring over 50 land-based reports including Cultural Impact Assessments for government review
