Summary: This study examines the relationships between cognitive, affective, and conative images and aboriginal cultural identity among tourists. The results show that tourists' post-visiting values for cognitive, affective, and conative images and perceptions of aboriginal cultural identity were significantly higher than their pre-visiting values. For both sites, tourists' cognitive image was positively related to their affective image, and their affective image was positively related to their conative image. Tourists' cognitive image was positively related to aboriginal cultural identity for one site but not the other. Tourists' affective image was positively related to aboriginal identity for one site but not the other. Tourists' conative image was positively related to aboriginal cultural identity for both sites. The theoretical and managerial implications of the study are discussed, providing valuable contributions to current issues in tourism.

Summary: Livestock plays a crucial role in the rural economy of an agriculture-based country like India. Traditional knowledge of ethnoveterinary medicine (EVM) is still actively practiced in India to mitigate economic losses caused by poor livestock performance and illness. This study focuses on documenting the traditional knowledge of EVM in the northern laterite region of eastern India. The research findings reveal a wide range of ethnomedicinal species used for preparing remedies to treat various health disorders of livestock. The study also highlights the most important species and their cultural significance in the region.
