Savoirs médicinaux interspécifiques et interactions entre cornacs et éléphants dans le district de Thongmyxay au Laos by Jean-Marc Dubost, Eric Deharo, Sysay Palamy, Chithdavone Her, Chiobouaphong Haekovilay, Lamxay Vichith, Sébastien Duffilot, Sabrina Krief

“…The mahouts include in their ethnoveterinary care of the elephants plants that they see the elephants use when they are ill. The medicinal uses they make of some of these plants in their households are more consistent with their observations of these elephant behaviours than it is with the use of the same items by local healers, suggesting a transfer of medicinal knowledge from elephants to mahouts.Since some of the village elephants in Thongmyxay are still periodically released and come into contact with their wild counterparts, the domestication space forms an interface between humans, wild elephants and the forest, and we discuss conversely the possibility of knowledge transfer from mahouts to village elephants through the ethnoveterinary care they receive.This knowledge which is precious for the health and well-being of people and elephants in Laos is threatened by the reduction of the forest cover sheltering the resources used, and by the relocation of village elephants to tourist centres. …”

Ionospheric Response to the 24–27 February 2023 Solar Flare and Geomagnetic Storms Over the European Region Using a Machine Learning–Based Tomographic Technique by Ting Li, Dunyong Zheng, Changyong He, Fei Ye, Pengfei Yuan, Yibin Yao, Mengguang Liao, Jian Xie

“…The CIT‐ML accuracy was 28.3% higher than the improved algebraic reconstruction technique with relaxation factor automatic search technology (IART‐AS), which effectively improved the typical ill‐posed problem of CIT. The first flare generated the Bz component of the interplanetary magnetic field (IMF), which continued southward for 13 hr, causing a small magnetic storm before the second flare occurred, resulting in an increased nighttime IED and nighttime medium‐scale traveling ionospheric disturbance (MSTID). …”
