Afghanistan, Irak og utviklingen av USAs militærmakt
Authors: Ulriksen Ståle
Published: August 2022

USA hadde ingen doktriner for opprørsbekjempelse (COIN) da operasjonene i Afghanistan og Irak startet. Mens krigene pågikk ble det, til tross for stor uenighet, innført en slik doktrine i 2007. Krigene førte også til både endringer i organisering og utrustning av amerikanske styrker, og til store endringer av planlagte investeringer av militært ustyr. Begge krigene endte i nederlag, og i tiden etter har USA på ny fokusert på stormaktsrivalisering. Men utgiftene til krigføringen i Afghanistan og Irak, og endringene i investeringsmønster, har svekket USAs evne til å konkurrere militært med Kina og Russland.
Abstract in EnglishAfghanistan, Iraq and the Development of US Military PowerThe United States had no doctrine for Counterinsurgency Operations (COIN) when the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq started in 2001 and 2003, respectively. In 2001 the US armed forces were designed for Great Power competition and conflict. During the course of the wars, substantial changes were made in the organization and equipment of the forces, and a COIN doctrine was introduced in 2007. In turn, large scale modernization of, and investments in, equipment suited for Great Power conflict were reduced in scale or cancelled. The cost of the wars and the changes in operational focus have blunted the US’s ability to compete militarily with China and Russia.
Den feministiske krigen og dens ofre
Authors: Wimpelmann Torunn
Published: August 2022

Invasjonen av Afghanistan i 2001 ble delvis rettferdiggjort som en krig for å redde afghanske kvinner. Artikkelen viser hvordan denne – dypt problematiske – «feministiske» innrammingen av krigen på mange måter har overskygget for det som har funnet sted av betydelige fremskritt når det gjelder kvinners situasjon i perioden etter 2001. Videre utforsker jeg hvordan disse fremskrittene ble underkjent som så utbetydelige at de uten større konsekvenser kunne settes til side i en mulig fredsavtale med Taliban. Dermed ble afghanske kvinneaktivister som ønsket å fremme krav om kvinners rettigheter i en eventuell fredsprossess anklaget for å sette sine egne elitistiske behov foran muligheten til å få slutt på krigen. Et liknende motsetningsforhold har oppstått etter at Taliban tok makten i august 2021, i form av et konstruert valg mellom befolkningens mulighet til å overleve den humanitære krisen i kjølvannet av Talibans maktovertakelse på den ene siden, og å insistere på prinsippene knyttet til kvinners rettigheter på den andre.
Abstract in EnglishThe Feminist War and Its VictimsThe 2001 invasion of Afghanistan was partially justified as a war to liberate the country’s women. This article shows how the – deeply problematic – ‘feminist’ framing of the war in many ways eclipsed the significant progress that has taken place in regards to Afghan women’s rights since 2001. Furthermore, I explore how such progress came to be denoted as so insignificant as to be easily cast aside in a prospective peace agreement with the Taliban. Afghan women activists who sought to advance women’s rights in a potential peace process were accused of prioritizing their own elitist interests above the possibility of ending the war. A similar dichotomy has emerged after the Taliban’s seizure of power in 2021, in the shape of a posited choice between the population’s ability to survive the humanitarian crisis developing in the aftermath of Taliban’s takeover on the one hand, and insisting on principles of women’s rights on the other.
Environmental and Ecological Impact of Soil Microorganisms in Plant Sciences
Authors: Das Kallol
Published: August 2022

The field of environmental and microbial ecology is undergoing a revolution, having ramifications in microbiology, ecology, and ecosystem research. The tremendous accumulation of molecular data is revealing a vast diversity of microbial groups, as well as unique microbial functions. Plants are part of a varied ecosystem in their natural habitat, which includes numerous and different microorganisms in the soil. Some of these microbes, such as mycorrhizal fungi and nitrogen-fixing symbiotic bacteria, have long been known to improve plant performance through enhancing mineral nutrition. A substantial quantity of data on the structure and dynamics of plant microbiota, as well as the functional capacities of isolated community members, is currently available. The adoption of appropriate delivery techniques and formulations, as well as smart, knowledge-driven microbe selection, is required. Plant-microbe interactions may now be studied in greater depth thanks to modern biotechnology. In this review, we look at the interaction between the soil, the host, and the microbial population, as well as their involvement in plant sciences, to see what we can learn about the ecosystem function of plants and symbiotic microorganisms, which will help us to improve agricultural techniques.
Effect of Mulching and Tied Ridge on Crop Production and Soil Improvement in Dry Land Areas
Authors: Chemeda Mengistu
Published: August 2022

Rain fed crop production in dryland areas is unreliable due to high evapo-transpiration, high run-off rates, delay onset, and early cessation of rains. So soil moisture deficiency is one of the primary factors that limit crop production in the area. Soil conservation is another important issue in dryland areas because high run-off rates leads to severe soil erosion. Due to shortage of soil moisture there have been attempts to optimize crop yield by planting drought-tolerant crops, particularly maize, sorghum and millet. This is not enough because crop failure due to water stress is still observed in dry lands. Therefore the proper use of soil moisture conservation structures like tied ridge helps to reduce the runoff rate, nutrient losses from soil and improve the soil moisture for plant growth which in turn, boost the productivity of land and plants. In addition to tied ridge mulching is a good practice used to reduce soil erosion and enhance water conservation. Tied ridge is one of the structures used to reduce water runoff and increase infiltration of rain water to the soil. It is a form of micro-basin tillage which consists of ridging the soil typically to heights of 0.20 to 0.30 m and is blocked with earth ties spaced considering slope of the land. Tied-ridging increased soil water by more than 25% compared to the traditional tillage practice in northern Ethiopia. It has been reported that tied ridging is beneficial for increasing crop yield. Tied-ridging increased sorghum grain yield by more than 40% compared to the traditional tillage practice in northern Ethiopia. It has beneficial effects of reducing runoff loss and soil loss. Mulching is also on the positive side of the balance in dry land. When adequate residues are available and conservation tillage is used, soil erosion is greatly reduced and water conservation is enhanced. Management of crop residues on the farm lands increased the grain yields of maize, sorghum and wheat crops both by improving soil fertility and conserving water at Haramaya area. Mulch conserved more water and led to higher dry matter and grain yields of maize compared to minimum tillage.
Land use/Land Cover Dynamics in Pioneer Fronts and Implications on Livelihoods: Insights from Nkuh and Nkuv on the Bui Plateau
Authors: Paul Tume Suiven John
Published: August 2022

Land use dynamics in pioneer fronts in Sub-Saharan Africa is recurrent; yet, stakeholder interests and the various changes in land-use practices are still to be fully mainstreamed in resource use practices. The implications for livelihood improvement are indicative of the attracting force of these areas to different stakeholders. This study sets out to: 1. Map land use and land cover change in Nkuh and Nkuv pioneer fronts in the Bui Plateau; 2. Identify stakeholders and interests in pioneer fronts; 3. Understand land use change practices and implications for livelihoods. The study used diachronic analysis accompanied by 7 focus group discussions, 9 key informant interviews across native authorities and some government delegations on thematic analysis and narratives. The results revealed that small agroplantations are the major land-use changes from the existing rangelands and remnants of natural forests. Farmers from neighboring villages have migrated and settled in pioneer fronts, practicing agriculture through expansion, stabilization and consolidation. Diversification and adoption of new techniques like agro-forestry, agro-plantations (oil palms, fruit trees, cocoa) is growing amongst farmers, especially among return migrants, bureaucrats and land-use change/ land-use practices have important implication for livelihood improvement for the population implicated with an increase in output. Further studies can focus on how local endogenous processes and power asymmetries can improve resource use outcomes.
Household Carbon Footprint: Rural and Urban Community
Authors: Bera Mahadev
Published: August 2022

A significant disparity exists in the living conditions and lifestyles of people living in rural and urban India. Based on geographical location and lifestyle, an individual's contribution to the global carbon footprint has been estimated in this study. This study examines the household carbon footprint in different rural and urban regions of West Bengal. It analyzes the difference of contribution of the factors based on one’s geographical location and how an individual's socioeconomic status affects carbon footprint. Data on the consumption of goods and services resulting in GHG emissions was gathered at the household (N=243) level through a questionnaire survey in different districts of West Bengal. The average carbon footprint in rural areas is estimated to be 0.56 tones CO2e per capita per year. In urban areas, it is 2.33 tones CO2e per capita per year significant difference is found in the annual per capita carbon footprint (household, travel, lifestyle, and total carbon footprint) among the various income groups of rural and urban areas. Another significant difference is found among different monthly expenditure categories between urban and rural households. Based on the information given by the respondents of the rural and urban areas the difference regarding electricity consumption, travelling details, monthly expenditure category, type of energy used, cooking fuel, annual household, travel, and lifestyle carbon footprint have been discussed graphically. This study looked at the sectoral contribution (activity-wise, e.g., cooking, transportation, etc.) and the rural-urban disparity in the individual carbon footprint.
Determination of Optimum Nitrogen for Teff [Eragrostis tef (Zucc.) Trotter] Production in Bora District, East Shewa Zone, Oromia, Ethiopia
Authors: Lemma Amante
Published: August 2022

Field experiment was carried out on 6 farmer’s field to determine the effect of NPS and nitrogen on yield of teff. The study was conducted using three NPS levels (0, 100, and 200 kg ha-1) and six levels of nitrogen (0, 23, 46, 69, 92 and 138 kg ha-1) and the treatment was laid out in a randomized complete block design with two replications. The analysis of showed that yield of teff was significantly (p < 0.05) affected by the interaction effect of NPS and N fertilizer rates. However, biomass yield of teff was not significantly (p < 0.05) affected by the interaction effects of NPS and N fertilization. The highest biomass (5.600 ton/ ha) was obtained in response to application of 200 kg of NPS and 92 kg of N ha-1. While, the highest teff yield (1592 kg ha-1) was obtained from application of 200 kg NPS with 138 kg N (ha-1). But it is not economically profitable. Therefore the net benefit 45,278 Birr ha-1 which was obtained from application of 100 kg NPS and 46 kg N (ha-1) fertilization is profitable and recommended for teff in Bora District and areas with similar soil type and agro-ecological conditions.

Evaluation of the Patas Monkey (Erythrocebus Patas) Lifestyle and Habitat Management Strategies in Kainji Lake National Park, Nigeria, for the Development of Ecotourism
Authors: OJ Olujobi
Published: August 2022

The rising human activities around the protected areas have been a significant limitation to wildlife conservation, especially in Nigeria. This study evaluated habitat management for the patas monkey (Erythrocebus patas) in Kainji Lake National Park. A field survey through the administration of a structured interview guide was used to extract information on the effective management of the habitat from the park staff. Site assessment was also carried out. Five transects of 1km length were laid at 500m intervals. Four plots of 50m × 50m were alternately laid at 200m intervals in each transect. Enumeration of trees ≥ 10 cm diameter at breast height (DBH) was carried out while the patas monkey activities were monitored. Data collected were analyzed using descriptive statistics. Thirty-five (35) tree species were identified and classified based on their IUCN status, with 62.86 % as least concern (L.C.), 22.86 % not evaluated (N.E.), and 5.71 % vulnerable (V.U.), 2.86 % endangered (EN). In contrast, 5.71 % do not have an IUCN status code (N.C.). Activities of patas monkey show that those sighted in plots 1, 14, 18, and 20 were running, while those sighted in plots 7 and 10 were feeding on fruits, seeds, leaves, and flowers. It was also observed that the animal moves in groups. The respondents opined that hunting and capturing are the primary threat to the animal. Registration of visitors, control burning, and regular patrol were the major habitat management strategies at the park. It is recommended that more water holes be provided to limit the animal's movement to less guided areas. The government should procure more patrol vehicles to improve the regular anti-poaching patrol
Legal Pillars to Agroforestry Management of Juçara Palm (Euterpe edulis Mart.) in the Atlantic Forest Biome
Authors: Meier Martin
Published: August 2022

Several families and communities depend on tropical forests while making the sustainable use of plants, including planting and managing them, contributing to their conservation. The Atlantic Forest biome originally occurs, totally or partially in 17 states of the Brazilian territory. Since colonization by the Portuguese, the biome has suffered and still suffers from severe changes in its ecosystems composition, especially due to the loss and fragmentation of habitats. Today the remnants of native vegetation are reduced to less than 20% of their original cover and are in different stages of regeneration. Even reduced and very fragmented, it is estimated that in the Atlantic Forest there are about 20,000 plant species (about 35% of the existing species in Brazil), including several endemic and endangered species, which gives the Atlantic Forest the status of “hotspot for biodiversity” being among the areas of the planet with the highest priority for biodiversity conservation. In relation to the Juçara Palm (Euterpe edulis Mart.), historically, the irresponsible use of the strain as a wood product (wood and meristem) was conflicting and today it has legal restrictions with the inclusion of the species in the threatened list, implying legal and bureaucratic complications for its use. This situation makes communities that use the species in a sustainable way, end up being the target of the command control imposed by the State Environment Organizations, which in a perspective of preserving the species, penalize the traditional management. The need to prepare a Management Plan, at a very complex technical level, discourages families from using the species economically. The regulation must create processes that, as foreseen in the legislation, simplify the bureaucratization around the management for family farmers and traditional populations. This document brings the pillars of agroforestry management of Juçara Palm for agroforestry development in Brazil.

Published: August 2022

En la licenciatura en Ciencias de la Educación (LCE) de la Universidad Autónoma de Baja California se identificaron promedios altos de reprobación en hombres y mujeres del periodo 2014-1 al periodo 2018-2. En consecuencia, se determinó como objetivo entender este fenómeno desde una aproximación metodológica cuantitativa: por una parte, mediante la aplicación de una encuesta, y por otra, mediante el análisis de unidades de aprendizaje (UA) obligatorias y optativas de seis periodos escolares (2019-1, 2019-2, 2020-1, 2020-2, 2021-1 y 2021-2) para identificar los porcentajes de reprobación en cuatro áreas de formación. En los resultados destaca que los alumnos no suelen reprobar por actividades académicas, por situaciones laborales, de salud o familiares. Ahora bien, de las UA más reprobadas, cuatro son obligatorias: Psicología y educación, Investigación educativa, Metodología de la educación y Procesos grupales; y dos optativas: Modelos alternativos de la educación y Problemas educativos en Baja California. Asimismo, se identificó que en el periodo 2021-2 se registraron los mayores porcentajes de reprobación de las UA analizadas y se estima que la reprobación de dichas UA pudo deberse al desempeño y al estado de ánimo de los estudiantes.

Authors: Estévez Leston Bárbara
Published: August 2022

Este artículo aborda los vínculos entre la dimensión territorial y el logro educativo al momento del primer empleo de personas resi­den­t­es en el Área Metropolitana de Buenos Aires en 2016. Por medio de un análisis secuencial, que combina técnicas estadísticas descriptivas e inferenciales, se plantea aportar elementos empíricos y conceptuales al debate sobre el rol del territorio en los procesos de estratificación. Nuestros hallazgos muestran que al habitar territorios desarrollados, la educación previa brinda mayores oportunidades de acceso a la inserción laboral, pues ello permite disminuir las brechas de acceso a credenciales educa­tivas según clase de origen. En cambio, habitar territorios con desventajas marcadas produce obstáculos que pueden acumularse o compensarse con las (des)ventajas de los orígenes de clase.

Authors: Alhejailan Ali , Aldahman Bassel , Sadan Pramod
Published: August 2022

Background: The primary goal of endodontic therapy is to alleviate pain, prevent infection and re-infection, maintain the functionality of the teeth, and create an environment within the root canal system which allows the healing and continued maintenance of the health of the peri-radicular tissue. This study aims to gather information on routine endodontic treatment among dental interns and general practitioners (GDPs) in the central region of Saudi Arabia.
Methodology: An e-questionnaire was distributed among dental interns and GDPs in Saudi Arabia (n = 150). The e-questionnaire questions covered the assessment of knowledge, attitude, and performance toward practicing the proper standards of endodontic treatment in their clinic. Data were analyzed using Statistical Package for the Social Sciences version 22, and the relationships between categorical variables were established using the chi-square test.
Results: The response rate was 66%. 32% of the total respondents were female, and 68% were male. All respondents were Saudi, and most were GDPs 57% and 43% were dental interns. No significant difference was found between GDPs and dental interns regarding technique, instruments used, and knowledge related to endodontic treatment protocols (p-value > 0.05).
Conclusion: This study highlights some minor points to consider to improve treatment quality provided by dental interns and GDPs for patients in the central region of Saudi Arabia. These include little knowledge regarding endodontic treatment standards that need to be fulfilled, either by educational courses or workshops and to stay updated regarding the protocols and instructions provided by, e.g., the Saudi association of endodontics, American association of endodontics, and other official societies related to endodontics.

Sebagian daerah di Kota Padang, masih sering kita mendengar orang tua yang memiliki anak balita membawa anak ke dukun bayi untuk dipijat dengan beragam alasan. Selain itu ibu bayi belum memiliki keterampilan mandiri dalam melakukan pemijatan pada bayi. Pijat bayi merupakan rangsangan dengan sentuhan yang memiliki efek fisiologi dalam tubuh. Pijat bayi juga dapat menyebabkan interaksi bayi dengan ibu lebih positif, bayi menjadi lebih tenang dan pola tidurnya lebih teratur. Posyandu serunai merupakan salah satu posyandu yang belum pernah mendapatkan edukasi tentang pijat bayi. Tujuan pengabdian ini untuk memperkenalkan pijat bayi yang benar pada ibu yang memiliki bayi di Posyandu Serunai, sehingga diharapkan ibu dapat menerapkan pijat bayi yang baik dan benar dirumah untuk stimulasi tumbuh kembang bayi. Metode yang digunakan dalam kegiatan ini adalah penyuluhan dan demonstrasi pemijatan bayi. Sebelum kegiatan dimulai dilakukan survei awal, kemudian pelaksanaan kegiatan dilakukan penyuluhan, dan demonstrasi cara pijat bayi yang benar, Terakhir dilakukan monitoring evaluasi dilihat dari frekuensi pelaksanaan pijat bayi mandiri oleh ibu di rumah masing-masing selama satu bulan pasca demonstrasi dengan menggunakan lembar checklist. Hasil kegiatan ini dari 11 orang ibu bayi, 100% ibu melakukan pijat bayi mandiri dirumah, dan 36,4% Ibu rutin melakukan pijat bayi mandiri selama satu bulan, 28,5% bayi mengalami kenaikan berat badan 0,3-0,5 kg. Harapan kedepannya Puskesmas menjadwalkan penyuluhan pijat bayi di semua posyandu bayi dan balita.
Social work organizations’ initiatives towards community empowerment among rural migrant workers in Xiamen, China

Social work organizations (SWOs) are under rapid development in Mainland China, and they are characterized as both non-government organizations (NGOs)' features and Chinese features. This research investigates SWOs' capacity to develop community empowerment through a case study on two SWOs in Xiamen China. The study found that SWOs organized individual activities, family activities, group activities, and community activities; their community empowerment strategies are soft and modified in the Chinese practical environment and political background; SWOs' empowerment approach emphasizes personal empowerment but not organizational or institutional empowerment; SWOs' interventions are not that successful but are still under development towards community empowerment with their path, and their over-dependence on government leads to their sluggish promotion in community empowerment. The study suggests that SWOs in China should change their development strategies, diversify their funding sources, and explore their professional methods to develop equal connections with other organizations, especially governmental departments. It is necessary to re-conceptualize the definition of community empowerment in China.
G20 Ülkeleri İçin Feldstein-Horioka Bulmacasının Geçerliliğinin Panel Veri Yöntemi ile Sınanması
Authors: ÖZBAY Ferhat
Published: August 2022

Yurt içi ve yurt dışı tasarruflar, gelişmiş veya gelişmekte olan ülkelerde, ekonomik büyümenin ve kalkınmanın temeli olarak görülmektedir. Özellikle 1980’lerden bu yana artan sermaye hareketliliği ile birlikte bu alanda birçok çalışma yapılmıştır. Son dönemlerde sermaye hareketliliği, yurt içi tasarruf ve yatırım arasında güçlü bir ilişkinin varlığını varsayan Feldstein-Horioka (FH) bulmacası temelinde sıkça tartışılmaktadır. Bu çalışmanın amacı 1995-2020 döneminde G20 ülkeleri için, Feldstein-Horioka bulmacasının geçerliliğini incelemektir. Çalışmada kullanılan yurt içi tasarrufların ve yurt içi yatırımların gayri safi yurt içi hasılaya oranı değişkenleri, Dünya Bankasının Gelişmişlik Göstergeleri veri tabanından elde edilmiştir. Bu çalışmada, mevcut literatürün metodolojik sorunları da göz önüne alınarak yenilikçi veri analitik prosedürleri kullanılmıştır. Bu bağlamda, mevcut çalışma, panel verilerin yatay kesit bağımlılığını ve heterojen yapısını dikkate almaktadır. Genişletilmiş Ortalama Grup (AMG) tahmincisi ve Ortak Korelasyonlu Etkiler Ortalama Grubu (CCEMG) tahmin edicilerinden elde edilen FH panel katsayıları sırasıyla 0,261 ve 0,301'dir. Genel sonuçlar, FH bulmacasının G20 ülkeleri için geçerli olmadığını göstermektedir. Bu çalışma, tasarruf ve yatırım ilişkisi temelinde gelecekteki çalışmalara yönelik önemli politika ve uygulama çıkarımları sunmaktadır.

Electrophilic groups are one of the key pillars of contemporary chemical biology and medicinal chemistry, constituting the anchor point for the design of targeted covalent inhibitors, the identification of novel therapeutic targets, and the development of a wide diversity of bioconjugation and proteomic profiling techniques. Naturally, there is great interest in the discovery of new types of biologically relevant electrophiles with potent action and broad applicability. For instance, the group of 3-membered N-heterocyclic compounds - such as aziridines, azirines, and oxaziridines – combine unique electronic properties and structural strain to trigger their respective potential and applicability as covalent tools. The α-lactams are also members of this group of compounds, but, until this point, their utility within the field has been unexplored. Here, we demonstrate an α-lactam reagent that can be efficiently employed in the framework of bioconjugation and proteomic profiling. We have designed and synthesised a stable α-lactam, AM2, that is compatible with aqueous buffers, and have extensively characterised its properties and reactivity. In simple settings, AM2 was e.g. found to be reactive towards both thiols and amines, with the former reacting significantly faster. We further demonstrated that AM2 undergoes conjugation to free cysteine residues in peptides suggesting applications for bioconjugation. Interestingly, liver carboxylesterase 1 (CES1), a serine hydrolase with key roles in both endo- and xenobiotic metabolism, was found as a highly selective covalent target for AM2 in HepG2 liver cancer cells. All in all, our study constitutes the starting point for the further development of α-lactam-based electrophilic probes and exploration of their use in covalent chemical biology.

In spite of several alcohol-related harms, consumption pattern towards alcohol addiction in Nigeria is on the increase. This study attempts to identify the determinants of addictive alcohol consumption among consumers in Nigeria. Using a causal research design, 250 alcohol consumers were purposively sampled. Data were collected using a structured questionnaire and analysed using the multiple regression analysis in SPSSWIN version 22. The findings revealthat there is a combined effect of the latent variables- peer group, price, socio-cultural environment and government intervention on consumers’ alcohol addiction (R=0.673, R2=0.452 and p= 0.008). In conclusion, peer group influence, price of alcoholic beverages, socio-cultural environment and level of government involvement in alcohol regulation have a direct and significant influence on alcohol addiction. Theoretical and policy recommendations were made; as well as practical implications.
