Full text linkWijaya, N.R., & Safrina, D. (2023). Trefle Gros (Tadehagi triquetrum (L.) H.Ohashi) potency as a medicinal plant and its cultivation: Review. In: Herlinda S et al. (Eds.), Prosiding Seminar Nasional Lahan Suboptimal ke-11 Tahun 2023, Palembang 21 Oktober 2023. (pp. 626-634). Palembang: Penerbit & Percetakan Universitas Sriwijaya (UNSRI).As the return to nature lifestyle develops, various medicinal plant uses are increasingly in demand by the public. Tadehagi triquetrum (L.), known as trefle gros, is a plant with medicinal properties. Apart from being used as medicine, this plant from the Fabaceae family is also consumed as a substitute for tea. This plant, which grows at an altitude of 500-1400 meters above sea level, grows on hillsides and in bushes. Its appearance is like a tiny, woody shrub that grows upright. The leaves are oval with wings on the stalk; the compound flowers are purple; the pods and small seeds are light brown. The chemical compounds contain alkaloids, flavonoids, tannins, saponins, phenols, sterols, hyperforin, trigoneline and amino acids. Plant parts such as roots, leaves and herbs are used in countries such as China, India, Laos and Myanmar to treat fever, coughs, snakebites, diabetes, tuberculosis and hemorrhoids. Research shows that this plant has potential as an anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, anti-hyperlipidemic, immune-boosting, antibacterial, anti-cancer, hepatoprotective and wound healing agent. In general, T. triquetrum is not widely cultivated in Indonesia because little is known about its benefits and how to propagate it. This growth is generally obtained from nature, and the harvest is limited. Propagation can be done through seed germination, cuttings or tissue culture methods. The article aims to increase knowledge regarding the potential of T. triquetrum as a medicinal plant so that its existence can be used optimally

Pengembangan Produk Buah Parijoto (Medinilla speciosa Blume) serta Potensinya sebagai Tanaman Obat : Review
Full text linkSafrina, D., Susanti, D., & Wijaya, N.R. (2023). Product development of parijoto fruit (Medinilla speciosa Blume) and its potential as a medicinal plant : review. In: Herlinda S et al. (Eds.), Prosiding Seminar Nasional Lahan Suboptimal ke-11 Tahun 2023, Palembang 21 Oktober 2023. (pp. 43–53). Palembang: Penerbit & Percetakan Universitas Sriwijaya (UNSRI).Parijoto (Medinilla speciosa Blume; heterotypic synonym of Medinilla eximia (Jack) Blume) is a shrub from the Melastomataceae family which is known as an ornamental plant and is not widely known as a medicinal plant. Parijoto fruit contains tannins, flavonoids, glycosides, saponins, and alkaloids. People traditionally use parijoto fruit to treat canker sores, diarrhea, anti-inflammatory, antibacterial, anticancer, male fertility, and antioxidants. Several research results state that the parijoto plant has medicinal plant potential as an anti-obesity, anti-hyperlipidemia, anticancer, antibacterial, antioxidant, increasing fertility, hepatoprotector, and immunomodulator. Parijoto fruit has enormous potential as a medicinal plant, but it has yet to be widely developed by the community. This review article aimed to inform the public about the enormous opportunities in developing research from cultivation to product formulation. Based on the review results, information was obtained that the development of processed products is still minimal, and most of it is still on a research scale. Parijoto fruit has the potential to be developed into food products, including syrup, dodol, and jelly candy. Parijoto fruit can also be developed as a cosmetic preparation, such as body lotion and sunscreen cream. Apart from that, this plant also has the potential to be developed as a food coloring. Products made from parijoto fruit still need to be improved and have yet to be utilized by the wider community, so the potential for developing parijoto fruit is still enormous
Alpinist adaptive potential and the dynamics of adaptation in Janusz Klarner’s „Nanda Devi”
No full textWyprawa alpinistów na Nanda Devi była pierwszą polską pomyślnie zakończoną wędrówką w Himalajach. Nanda Devi była bardzo trudnym wyzwaniem dla polskiej ekipy, ale po wielu niebezpiecznych sytuacjach w końcu osiągnęli szczyt. W kolejnym kroku alpiniści chcieli zdobyć szczyt Tirsuli. Niestety, dwóch ekspedytorów zostało zasypanych lawiną na zboczach lodowca. Janusz Klarner (członek ekipy polskich alpinistów) po kilku latach napisał książkę Nanda Devi, opartą na jego prywatnym dzienniku ekspedycyjnym. Główną tezą artykułu jest to, że dotarcie do Nanda Devi było możliwe dzięki odpowiedniej szybkości adaptacji. Himalaje były zupełnie nieznanym miejscem dla polskich alpinistów. Okoliczności wymagały adaptacji do nowych, wymagających warunków. W artykule autor analizuje te adaptacje. Niektóre z nich miały wymiar symboliczny, inne: kulturowy, techniczny oraz aksjologiczny. Korzystając z ustaleń Deleuze'a z Bergsonizmu, autor uznaje, że zdolność do odpowiednio dynamicznej adaptacji jest wynikiem odpowiedniego uporządkowania występującego w danym momencie. Podsumowując, autor rozważa różne powiązania wzorców kulturowych, przyczynowości osobistej i względów środowiskowychAlpinist expedition to the Nanda Devi was the first Polish successfully ended hiking in the Himalaya. Nanda Devi was a very tough challenge for Polish team but after many dangerous situations they finally reached the peak. As a next step alpinists wanted to reach Tirsuli peak. Unluckily, two of the expeditors were buried in an avalanche on the slopes of a glacier. Janusz Klarner (the member of the Polish alpinists team) after few years wrote a book Nanda Devi which is based on his private expedition journal. The main thesis of the article is that reaching Nanda Devi was possible by the accurate speed of adaptation. The Himalaya was a completely different and unknown place for Polish alpinists. Alpinists were forced to various adaptations in many different situations. In the article author analyses emerging changes and adaptations. Among them are symbolic, cultural, technical and axiological adaptations. Using Deleuze's findings from Bergsonizm, the author recognizes that the capacity for appropriately dynamic adaptation is the result of an appropriate arrangement occurring at a point in time. To sum up, an author considers various connections between cultural patterns, personal causality and environmental considerations
Ananda Devi et certains de l’exil
Full text linkInspired by Devi’s Ceux du large (2017) and by authors connected to her, a performance has been created by the author, who was to conduct an oral creative workshop among whose participants were young immigrants. Trying to take into account both dimensions of such an artistic but also human experience, the text points out the links between Ananda Devi’s words and the young immigrants’ ones, and also the influence of having read them on the way to lead the workshop. But, above all, it shows how such a poetic writing is necessary not to reduce migration to a simple and measurable fact.Inspirée par des pages de Ceux du large (Ananda Devi, 2017) et des pages d’autres auteurs avec lesquels Ananda Devi est en lien, une performance été faite par un artiste-chercheur devant aussi animer un atelier de création sonore et à la même période. Parmi les participants se trouvaient de jeunes migrants. Essayant de prendre en compte toutes les dimensions d’une telle expérience aussi bien humaine qu’artistique, le texte fait apparaître les liens entre les mots d’Ananda Devi et ceux des jeunes migrants, et aussi l’influence de les avoir lus sur la façon de conduire l’atelier. Mais, par-dessus tout, il s’agit de montrer combien une telle écriture poétique est nécessaire pour ne pas réduire la migration à un simple fait mesurable
