This paper shows how a public policy of restraint and domination of collective union actions—strike notices and strikes—was, on behalf of the State, generalized throughout Mexico by the Mexican labor regulatory institutions, the Local Conciliation and Arbitration Boards (Juntas Locales de Conciliación y Arbitraje, JLCA) and the Federal Conciliation and Arbitration Board (Junta Federal de Conciliación y Arbitraje, JFCA), during the last 10 years of the neoliberal period.

The development of biofuels from sustainable feedstocks has garnered significant scientific attention due to their potential to provide energy and alternative fuels. Cellulosic feedstock has gained attention as an attractive option for bioethanol production due to its greater ability to substitute fossil fuels and its relatively lower cost as a feedstock. With the help of a cellulolytic enzyme system, cellulose can be altered to glucose which is a multi-valued product, in a considerably economical and biologically favourable process.

In Ethiopia, field pea (Pisum sativum L.) is the main source of protein for resource poor growers. The improvement of varieties for yield and disease resistance is one of the important activities to support farmers and improve the productivity of the crop. Consequently, this study was showed to evaluate the genotypic correlations, phenotypic correlations and path coefficient analysis between the field pea genotypes for yield and yield associated traits. Forty-nine field pea genotypes were evaluated in simple lattice design at Asasa in 2019 cropping season.

Drying Curry leaf belongs to the Family Rutaceae, Genus Begera and Species Begera koenigii (Wikipedia, 2024). The botanical name is Bergera koenigii, but was once classed as Murraya koenigii. Curry leaf belongs to the Family Rutaceae, Genus Murraya and Species Murraya koenigii. Other names of curry leaf tree are curry plant, sweet neem, meethi neem, kadhi patta.

Yams belong to the Family Dioscoreaceae, Genus Dioscorea and Species Dioscorea alata L. The name "yam" appears to derive from Portuguese inhame or Canarian Spanish ñame, which derived from Fula, one of the West African languages during trade. The main derivations borrowed from verbs meaning "to eat". True yams have various common names across multiple world regions.

Extracts from certain plants provide the colouring and binding matter for dyeing. The aim of this study of the dye plants used by craftsmen in the Congo is to characterise the chemical groups with dyeing potential. To achieve this, an ethnobotanical study based on interviews was used to identify the species used by Brazzaville artisans. The ethnobotanical survey of 56 artisans revealed that 38 plant species belonging to 26 botanical families provide various colours that can be used by these artisans.

Withaniasomnifera L. is a multipurpose medicinal plant of family Solanaceae occurring abundantly in sub-tropical regions of the world. W. somnifera is rich in numerous treasured secondary metabolites such as steroids, withanolidealkaloids, flavonoids, phenolics, saponins, and glycosides. In recent years, there has been a significant surge in reports on the health-promoting benefits of winter cherry also known as Ashwagandha. The present review states its potential use as neuroprotective, sedative, adaptogenic anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial, cardioprotective and anti-diabetic properties.

Sweet potato belongs to the family Convolvulaceae, genus Ipomoea and species Ipomoea batatas. The English word potato is from the word batata (sweet potato) of the Taino Indians of the West Indies by way of the Spanish word patata. The English word originally referred to the sweet potato, but was later applied to the common potato, which is called papa in Spanish. The word yam is probably from nyami in the language of the West African Wolof people.

This study explored the potential of utilizing edible flowers, specifically red gumamela, as a primary ingredient in the formulation of a floral-flavored ice cream dessert. The research aimed to devise a distinctive and innovative ice cream recipe incorporating gumamela petals as the central element, supplemented by additional components to enhance both flavor and nutritional profile. The investigation encompassed sensory analysis and assessment of the final recipe, encompassing taste tests and texture evaluations.

The banana bloom was employed in the creation of a pasta dish in the present study. Pasta was a highly desired delicacy that people liked consuming, and Filipinos had also incorporated pasta dishes into their celebrations of significant occasions, such as birthdays. Utilizing banana blossom as the primary component in the noodles could potentially provide health benefits associated with fortified noodles, emphasizing its positive impact on the well-being of the customer.
