A lot of drilling wastes with various content of oil products is formed annually during production of hydrocarbons in the result of accidents at the facilities of transportation and oil production, soil is polluted. So, main contaminants of the environment are drilling wastes such as drilling, drilling waste water, waste drilling fluid and places of their disposition - sludge pits. Total amount of the oil slurry annually formed at enterprises of the oil sector of Kazakhstan is about 100 thousand ton, and resources of these wastes are estimated in more than 40 mln. ton. The wastes are placed in special sludge pits equipped with watertight screen. However, in spite of the available modern technologies for arrangement of waterproof finish of the drilling waste disposal facilities, high level of soil pollution is still observed. As a rule, pollutions are related to violation of the requirements of the standards during construction and operation of sludge pits, products pipelines, tailing dumps, sludge collectors and temporary storages. Therefore it is necessary to build reliable storages for temporary placement of the formed wastes until their delivery for recovery or disposing, during operation of which there will be no migration of pollutants to the environment. It is suggested to use bentonitic mats as waterproof finish of such facilities - this is innovative by properties, multifunctional composite material, which is combination of textile materials with the layer of the natural self- recovering mineral component - bentonite.

Researches of thermodynamic processes of oxidation, self-heating and self-ignition of coal are necessary for studying of dependence of terminal parameters on a set of the influencing factors. In practice of coal mining by the underground method cases of coal self-ignition in the mined-out spaces of production units (lavas) are frequent. In this case one of the tasks consists in determination of temperature in arbitrary point of the nubbly-porous medium of the mined-out space. Need of the solution of this difficult task is caused by the probability of emergency situations in places with the explosive concentration of methane. It is possible that for each seam and grade of coal it is necessary to develop, substantiate and accept an individual indicator for assessing the state of fire hazard. It is proposed to systematize and methodically process the results of field measurements and observations on the analyzed and investigated cases of endogenous fires in problem areas of mines in order to create basin databases for subse- quent operational decisions in emergency situations.

The analysis of possible energy saving in in the technological process of production of elements of scraper conveyors containing flexible automated production is given. It consists of complex subordinate aggregate installations consisting of conveyor lines, robot manipulators and tripods. The studied technological processes and control systems for electric drives of actuators are multi-connected, distributed in space, stochastic and multidimensional in the number of control and monitoring coordinates. It is proposed a methodology of reducing energy consumption of actuators by means of physical-virtual modeling and parameterization based on estimates of energy costs, by means of planning factor experiments, steep ascending in the anti-gradient direction of integral quadratic estimates of the control system, which are proportional to the costs of electricity in transient modes of actuators. The methodology, in comparison with the well-known optimization methods, is invariant to the type of products developed in flexible automated production, to the laws of distribution of the semi-finished products flows entering the production line, and is focused on predicting the boundaries of the saved energy and the life of the electromechanical equipment and improving reliability of electric drive control systems operation as a part of industrial complexes. The uniqueness of the method consists in applicability of the developed algorithm of evaluating energy savings and optimizing technological processes according to the criterion of energy consumption in real time in the condi- tions of the probabilistic situation of input parameters, regardless of the selected method of setting the optimal parameters of production line facilities.

Published: April 2021

Medication-related osteonecrosis of the jaw (MRONJ) is on the rise among patients taking long-term antiresorptive drugs. The primary goal of treatment in osteonecrosis of the jaws (ONJ) should be to improve the patient's quality of life by managing pain and infections, preventing the development of new lesions and slowing the progression of the disease. In recent years, the use of the laser for MRONJ treatment has spread, thanks to the practical administration and the widely reported beneficial effects on tissue healing. This literature overview sought to clarify whether low-level laser therapy (LLLT) has positive effects on the treatment of osteonecrosis of the jaw. Our results show that treatment modalities, including LLLT, were associated with superior outcomes in terms of cure or improvement of antiresorptive drugs-related osteonecrosis of jaw lesions compared to conventional surgical and / or conservative drug therapy alone. It can be concluded that combined treatment with antibiotics, minimally invasive surgery (including laser surgery) and LLLT in the early stages of the disease should be the gold standard for management to MRONJ.

Garcinia lanessanii Pierre belongs to the genus Garcinia of the Guttiferae (Clusiaceae) family. In Cambodia, people use this species to cure sore throat and tooth decay. However, chemical and biological study of this species has been not reported in the world until now. To contribute to chemical knowledge of the genus Garcinia in Viet Nam, we chemically investigated the species Garcinia lanessanii Pierre. The bark of this plant collected in the National Forest Lo Go – Xa Mat, Tan Bien ward, Tay Ninh province was dried, ground into powder and extracted in turn with n-hexane, chloroform and ethyl acetate solvents by using a Sohxlet system. Four flavonoids were isolated from the ethyl extract of G. lanessanii Pierre using column and thin layer chromatography on silica gel, RP-18 and Sephadex LH-20 with different solvents. Based on the analysis of 1D and 2D NMR spectra as well as comparison with literature, the structures of these compounds were elucidated as a flavanone, naringenin (1); two biflavonoids, volkensiflavone (2) and GB-2 (3), together with a biflavonoid glycoside, volkensiflavone-7-O-rhamnopyranoside (4). These compounds were isolated from G. lanessanii Pierre for the first time.
Deleuze’ün Stoacılığı: Bağlılık ve/veya Ayrılık
Authors: MOLACI Melike
Published: April 2021

Platonculuk olarak adlandırdığı Batı metafiziğini içkinlik ve farkı temele alan felsefesi aracılığıyla eleştiren ve felsefi yönelimini “Platonculuğu tersine çevirmek” olarak ifade eden Deleuze, düşüncelerini temellendirirken sıklıkla felsefe tarihinden örneklere başvurur. Deleuze felsefe tarihinin ayrıksı filozoflarına ilişkin monografilerinde “Platonculuğu tersine çevirmek” yönelimini bulur ve bu yönelimin başlangıcının izini sürer. Deleuze’e göre bu yönelim ilk kez, Platonculuğu ilk ve radikal bir biçimde tersine çeviren Stoacılıkta bulunur. Deleuze’e göre Stoacılar, “bedensizler kuramı” ,“çifte nedensellik anlayışı” ve “yeni filozof imgesi” ile bu tersine çevirişi gerçekleştirmişlerdir. Deleuze açısından Stoacılık, tekillik, içkinlik ve fark üzerine tesis edilebilecek bir ontolojinin belki de ilk örneğini sunması bakımından değerli görünmektedir. Felsefesini “Platonculuğu tersine çevirmek”e vakfetmiş olan Deleuze’ün Stoacılığa dair bu iddiaları, tartışılmaya değer görünmektedir. Bu bağlamda bu çalışmada ilkin Deleuze’ün Stoa felsefesine özgü bulduğu bu üç yenilik ele alınacak, ardından bu yenilikler Stoacı metinlerle karşılaştırılarak Deleuze’ün Stoacılığa bağlılığı ve/veya ondan ayrılığı tartışılacaktır. Böylece Deleuze’ün Stoacılık yorumunun aslına uygun olup olmadığı değerlendirilerek Stoacılığın farkı, tekilliği ve içkinliği temele alan bir ontoloji sunup sunmadığı ortaya konulmuş olacaktır.
Sosyolojik Bir Araştırma Nesnesi Olarak Gündelik Hayatın Kavramsallaştırılması ve İncelenmesi Sorunu
Authors: KURTOĞLU Ayşegül
Published: April 2021

Gündelik hayat son yıllarda kendisine sosyolojik ilginin arttığı bir alan hâline gelmiş olup bu konuda yapılan yayınların çoğu kuramsal, bir kısmı da ampirik nitelikteki çalışmalardan oluşmaktadır. Ancak, dikkatli bir şekilde incelendiğinde, gündelik hayat hakkındaki kuramsal tartışmalarda bazı önemli kavramsallaştırma sorunları mevcuttur. Bu sorunlar esas olarak onun vasfı, kapsamı ve nasıl üretildiği olmak üzere üç temel mesele etrafında toplanmakta ve sonuç olarak da gündelik hayatın hem sıradan olana karşılık gelen bir şey, hem de faillerden ve onların anlayış ve eylemlerinden bağımsız bir bilgi nesnesi olarak konumlandırıldığı görülmektedir. Bu bağlamda gündelik hayatın kavramsallaştırılması sorunu nasıl üretildiği hususuyla paralel olarak emek, çalışma ve toplumsal yeniden üretim tartışmalarını da gündeme almayı gerekli kılmaktadır. Bu nedenle muhtemel anlam atıf sorunlarının bertaraf edilebilmesi ve ampirik bir araştırma sürecinin makul şekilde inşa edilebilmesi için mevcut kavramların tartışmaya açılması elzemdir. Çalışmada kendilerine işaret edilen bu kavramsallaştırma sorunlarının neler oldukları, nasıl ortaya çıktıklarının eleştirel bir değerlendirmesi yapılmakta ve ardından da ampirik araştırma sürecine kılavuzluk edebilecek şekilde gündelik hayatın kavramsallaştırılması sorununa nasıl yaklaşılması gerektiği ve bu amaca yönelik olarak cevaplanması gereken başlangıç düzeyindeki soruların neler oldukları ifade edilmektedir. Bu sorular gündelik olan ve gündelik olmayan ayrımına bağlı olarak gündelik hayatın failler için ne ifade ettiği, hangi işler için emek sarf edilmesinin gerekli görüldüğü, nelerin çalışmadan sayılırken hangi etkinliklerin boş zamana yerleştirildiği ve bu etkinliklerin gündelik hayat bütçesinde başlama, süre gitme, kesintiye uğrama ve sona erme bakımından nasıl konumlandırıldığıdır. Böylece Realist sosyal bilim metodolojisi temelinde gündelik hayatın arızî vasıflarının gerekli vasıflarından ve aslî ilişkilerinin biçimsel ilişkilerinden ayırt edilmesinin sağlanacağı öngörülmektedir. Bu soruların yanıtlanabilmesi için ampirik araştırma sürecinin, vasıfların ne derece yaygınlık arz ettiğinin değil ne olduğunun tespit edilmesi amaçlandığı için niteliksel olması, araştırma kümesine ise amaçlı örnekleme tekniği ile ulaşılması gerekmektedir.

Published: April 2021

İstanbul’da film şirketlerinin bulunduğu Beyoğlu’ndaki sokaktan adını alan Yeşilçam, Türk sinemasının özgün sembolik bir ismidir. Adı anıldığı zaman siyah beyaz görüntüleriyle nostaljik çağrışımların ortaya çıktığı ve usta oyuncuların hatırlandığı Yeşilçam edebiyat, müzik, tarih, gelenek-görenek, halk inancı, mizah gibi unsurlarıyla araştırılması gereken bir alandır. Saydığımız bu alanlar içerisinde bugüne kadar Yeşilçam sinemasında Türk halk müziğinin yeterince incelenmediği görülmüştür. Sessiz film döneminde sahne gerisine gizlenen bir piyanoyla ya da orkestralarla sesli hale getirilmeye çalışılan filmlerin, sesli sinema döneminden sonra amaç ve işlevleri çeşitlenmiştir. Ses ve görüntü kaydı alanındaki teknolojik gelişmelerin sinema sektörünü etkilediği ve biçimlendirdiği bir dönemde film müziği olgusu ortaya çıkmıştır. Film müziği, sinema tekniklerinin gelişmeye başladığı bir süreç içerisinde tekno-kültürel zeminlerde önemli işlevler yerine getirmiştir. Sinema sanatı içerisinde asli bir unsur haline gelen film müzikleri, filme seçilen ve yerleştirilen müzik parçaları ile filme özgü bestelenen ezgi/ezgiler şeklinde başlıca iki uygulama şekli bulmuştur. Türkiye’de 1940’lı yıllardan itibaren köye yöneliş hareketinin başlamasının bir sonucu olarak yapılan çalışmaların bir ayağını da sinema oluşturmuş; bu doğrultuda Türk sinemasında köy temalı filmlerde müzik unsuru olarak halk müziğinin kullanımına başlanmıştır. Tekno-kültürel açıdan bağlam bütünlüğünün sağlanmasında bir gereklilik de olan bu uygulamayı -söz konusu filmlere- gerçekleştiren kişiler, radyo ekolünden gelen halk müziği yöneticileri ve müzisyenleri/sanatçıları olmuştur. Bu bağlamda makalede film müziği, film müziğinin işlevleri, film müziği ve filmde müzik kavramlarının farkı, Yeşilçam sineması içerisinde film müziğinin kullanımı, halk müziği ve Yeşilçam ilişkisi incelenmiş; radyonun halk müziği şeflerinden ve saz sanatçılarından olan Ahmet Yamacı’nın müzik direktörlüğü örneğinden hareketle Türk sineması ve Türk radyo yayıncılığı arasındaki ilişki halk müziği temelinde sorgulanmıştır.

Authors: E. S. Edori , O. S. Edori
Published: April 2021

The total petroleum hydrocarbons content of the surface water and the sediments from the Orashi River were investigated between December 2019 and June 2020 at two months intervals to find out the level of contamination of the river. The total petroleum hydrocarbons were determined by GC-FID using Agilent 5890N, after following due laboratory procedures of sample pretreatment and clean-up. The results recorded from the surface water were December, 5.844±1.231 mg/L; February, 8.767±2.501 mg/L, April, 16.886±3.157 mg/L and June, 7.271±1.110 mg/L. Variation in concentration showed that April > February > June > December. Results recorded in the sediments were December, 39.8427±13.5 mg/Kg; February, 29.5322±5.301 mg/Kg; April, 50.5040±16.813 mg/Kg and June; 16.6545±3.35 mg/Kg. The variation in concentration showed that April > December > February > June. The variations observed in of total petroleum hydrocarbons content in the river indicated that the contamination source was primarily anthropogenic. It is therefore recommended that effective measures and adequate steps be taken by the government to mitigate the effect that may result from the accumulation of the total petroleum hydrocarbons in the river and on the aquatic inhabitants and man who depends on the river for daily living.

Published: April 2021

The role of the university has gone far from just producing students with excellent academic achievements to producing students with tremendous communication skills such as speaking in English to enable them to compete in the global market. However, many university students in Malaysia are still struggling to acquire the English language comprehensively that matches the employers’ expectations. Hence, the importance of spoken English should be emphasized more by creating more interesting platforms and using online approaches such as vlogs to enable the students to use the language more profoundly. Thus, a pilot study was conducted to identify the effect of the vlog approach on the speaking skills of 50 students from a Malaysian Technical University. This study employed a quantitative method. A survey was conducted using a self-developed questionnaire which was distributed through Google Form. The questionnaire comprised 3 sections: student demography, speaking ability, and vlog effects. The data were analyzed using the mean score, standard deviation, Linear regression, and ANOVA. The results revealed that the use of online vlog activities had significantly helped the respondents to improve their speaking skills. Meanwhile, there was no significant difference in the use of vlog activities among the male and female respondents with regard to improving speaking skills in English. Therefore, it was concluded that using online vlog activities was a useful platform to practice and improve speaking skills in English among university students and more of these types of online approaches could be employed to help the university students to enhance confidence to speak in English.

This study aims to analyze how the influence of the Domestic Investment variable in the agricultural sector, the number of workers in the agricultural sector and agricultural sector exports on economic growth in South Sumatra Province. The data used are time series data for the period 2002 to 2019. The quantitative analysis technique is in the form of multiple linear regression analysis with Ordinary Least Square (OLS) estimation. The results showed that the variable that had a significant influence was the growth of agricultural exports with a coefficient of 0.012815, which means that a 1 percent increase in agricultural exports resulted in an increase in the economic growth of South Sumatra Province by 0.0128 percent. The growth variable in the number of workers in the agricultural sector also has a significant effect with a prob value of 0.054 and an influence coefficient of 0.034019 where an increase of 1 percent in the number of workers in the agricultural sector increases economic growth by 0.0340 percent. The domestic investment variable in the agricultural sector has no significant effect on economic growth in South Sumatra. The agricultural sector continues to play a role in economic growth because it absorbs a large workforce and its contribution to Gross Regional Domestic Product is still significant. The conclusion of this study shows the reality that the agricultural sector still contributes to the economy of South Sumatra in the absorption of labor and the role of primary exports. Domestic investment in the agricultural sector has a relatively insignificant effect on economic growth, mainly due to fluctuating agricultural commodity prices which affect the expected profit levels and expectations of future economic conditions.

In the conditions of rapid changes in the modern market environment, it is extremely important for agricultural enterprises to respond in a timely manner to threats to their financial security. Therefore, economic diagnostics is of significant methodological importance, and makes it possible to learn about economic problems and interpret the results of enterprises activity that have certain deviations from the norm or the state required for the enterprise. The subject of the study is a set of theoretical, methodological and practical aspects of diagnosing the state of financial security of enterprises. The purpose of the article is to diagnose the state of financial security of agricultural enterprises on the basis of the proposed methodological approach and to substantiate proposals for its improvement. The methodological basis of the diagnostics used in the study was: methods of theoretical generalizations, financial analysis, scoring method, analysis of dynamics and structure, linear programming. The article reveals the tasks and areas of management of Ukrainian agricultural enterprises with an emphasis on the protection of their specific financial interests – ensuring liquidity, solvency, financial stability, autonomy and others. For research purposes all Ukrainian agricultural enterprises were classified on the size of the net income. The system of indicators for diagnostics of financial security of the agricultural enterprises was offered. The basic structural elements of the mechanism of financial security management were substantiated. According to the diagnosis results, it was found that the state of financial security of large enterprises in 2018-2019 has deteriorated and it has had a negative impact on their solvency. Instead, the financial security of small and medium-sized enterprises has improved. Based on the experience of developed countries, proposals for public policy instruments to promote financial security of agricultural enterprises were proposed.

The role of accounting (public-financial) with special emphasis on financial reforms and budgetary responsibility for the preparation of financial statements is increasingly becoming necessary and important to increase the economic development and financial stability of the country during governance. In order to have financial reforms, there must be responsibility in public accounting as well as in the analysis and financial reporting by the responsible staff at both levels. It is therefore important to have this cooperation in all areas of policy making, defining the responsibilities of the two levels. The purpose of this article is to show about accounting, reforms and budget responsibilities in the financial statements at both levels of financial-budgetary governance. The research was conducted through a questionnaire according to the practices of the OECD, the IMF and the World Bank. The questionnaire was compiled according to Likert scales and was distributed at the governing levels to the state of Kosovo, its completion was done accurately by attaching audited financial reports for each variable taken for study. The data for all variables were processed via the SPSS and R program, which allowed to draw conclusions and recommendations for all variables at both levels. To achieve the results, econometric tests and analyzes were used, such as: descriptive analysis, testing of two samples, analysis of testing of a dependent variable, etc. Based on the results, it is emphasized that there should be reforms for the safeguarding of public money, fair allocation of expenditures, securing of funds and that the responsibilities at both levels differ from the expectations that should occur in the accounting of financial statements.

Modern economic conditions in Ukraine are characterized by an excessive level of tax burden on business and the instability of tax legislation, which hinders the development of entrepreneurial activities of business entities. Therefore, one of the main factors of business growth is the creation of an effective and flexible mechanism for optimizing the tax burden at the enterprise level. The purpose of the article is to systematize the existing methods of management of tax burden on value-added tax at the enterprise Level, as well as to substantiate possible ways to optimize tax payments for VAT. The features of the formation of the tax burden on the activities of business entities were disclosed in the context of reforming the tax system of Ukraine. For the purpose of effective management of the value added tax burden at the enterprise, it was proposed: to organize a system of constant monitoring of the balance of funds on the electronic account, which is open for each VAT payer, in the electronic VAT administration system; to organize a control system under contracts for the receipt of commodity values (services); to establish partnerships with contractors-suppliers and buyers. In addition, to reduce the tax burden on VAT in the activities of business entities, the following measures have been proposed: to develop a calendar-schedule of payments and purchases; to coordinate advance payments and purchases with suppliers; to draw up a plan-calendar for registering your own tax invoices (tax liability) and received from the supplier (tax credit); to establish contractual relations with contractors-suppliers from the conditions of payment and registration of tax invoices stipulated in the contract.

The aim of the present research was to compare two methodological tools with two groups of pre-university secondary education students (17-18 years old). The experimental group worked constructing concept maps using the jigsaw technique (experimental teaching approach, ETA) on the topic of radioactivity in five sessions of their physics course. The control group worked on the same subject in a traditional teaching method (lecture-based teaching approach, LTA). The research design was quasi-experimental, with 28 students of a school in Extremadura (Spain). The results of a pre-test and a post-test were compared for the two groups. The working hypotheses were: (a) students who work collaboratively in constructing concept maps using the jigsaw technique perform better in learning the topic of radioactivity; and (b) this method fosters a positive attitude of the students towards how the topic is taught. With respect to Hypothesis (a), the results appeared to show an improvement in learning in the experimental group, although without reaching statistical significance. Neither were there any statistically significant differences between the post-test results of the two groups. With respect to Hypothesis (b), most of the experimental group students found the method to be very encouraging; despite the insecurity they felt with something new that they were not used to. The experimental group's pre-test and post-test results were strongly correlated (r=0.707), so that the ETA can be regarded as fairly effective since the students learnt more meaningfully and with less effort.

The aqueous, methanol and DMSO extracts from leaves of Mangifera indica and Morus alba were screened for bioactive compounds. Antimicrobial activity and MIC (mg/ml) were determined using agar-well diffusion and serial dilution methods respectively against human pathogenic bacteria and fungi. Antioxidant activities (%) were determined against DPPH free radicals, superoxide anion and Fe+2 whereas antiurease activity (%) was by indophenol method. The time taken to set paralysis and death of Pheritima posthuma was observed after released into extract. Phytochemical analysis detected carbohydrates, alkaloids, phenols, flavonoids, terpenoids, saponins, tannins, steroids, resins, anthraquinones, cardiac glycosides and phlobatannins. All extracts more or less showed the activity against Gram-positive and -negative bacteria producing zone of inhibition 15±0.57 to 43.66±0.66 mm and MIC values 13±1.64 to 100±0.35 mg/ml. Similarly, for fungi, zone of inhibition and MIC values were 9±0.57 to 34±0.57 mm and 23±1.25 115±0.55 g/ml respectively. Activities against DPPH, superoxide anion and Fe+2 free radicals were found 13.68±0.74 to 93.70±0.76 %, 50.23±0.43 to 95.7±0.21 % and 52.76±0.23 to 98.82±0.42% respectively, of these, the maximum activities surpassed the n-propyl gallate (91.31 %) and EDTA (98.05 %). Similarly, urease was also inhibited (33 to 95.23%) by all extracts. All extracts were also caused paralysis followed by subsequent death (13.5/26.87 to 39/60.06 min) of P. posthuma, of these methanolic extract from M. indica was least than that by albendazole (30.45/52 min) and piperazine citrate (14.35/36 min). The results provide scientific basis for traditional use of these extracts as affordable strategies for treatments of infectious, inflammatory and degenerative diseases, caused by bacteria, fungi, free radicals, urease and helminths.

Tomato belongs to the Solanaceae family. It is an essential vegetable crop of Pakistan. Production of tomato affected by viral, fungal, and bacterial diseases. Some post-harvest tomato fungal pathogens like Aspergillus, Alternaria, Fusarium and Rhizopus are major contributors to tomato fruit losses. The current research was focused to control these post-harvest fungal problems of tomato by application of some botanical extracts because these have no harmful residual effects like fungicides which influence fruit value and human health. For this purpose, infected samples were collected from a local market. Then fungi were isolated from these infected samples on PDA culture media. These purified fungal cultures were inoculated to healthy tomato fruits to confirm the pathogenicity of these fungal isolates. During management, trials inoculated fruits from each group were coated with different concentrations of Curcuma longa, Mentha piperita and Ocimum basilicum. A completely randomized design (CRD) was followed in these experiments with three replications. Data regarding the infected fruit area was recorded following the standard procedures Fisher’ s analysis of variance technique was used for analyzing the data and a significant differences test (LSD) was used for comparing differences among treatments using least at 5 % probability. The turmeric plant was more efficient than Basil and mint. At 200ppm concentration, the turmeric inhibits 80.1 % growth of Alternaria alternata on PDA media, but the growth rate was reduced up to 31.6% at 50_ppm concentration. Growth inhibition significantly reduced as concentration increased from 50ppm to 200 ppm concentration.

Sugarcane is an important cash crop in Pakistan. Recently, the average per hectare production of sugarcane is low due to climatic variation. Therefore, sugarcane farmers are threatened by this emerging issue that has drastically affected their livelihoods, food security, and sustainability. This study was designed to analyze the perception, comprehension, and adoption of cultural practices in the mitigation of the impact of climate change. For this purpose, district Rahim yar khan was selected purposively from the Province of Punjab as the universe of the study; as one of the highly cultivated areas among all districts of Punjab. From selected districts, two tehsils were randomly selected, namely Sadiqabad and Kanpur. From each selected tehsil, 5 villages were selected using randomized sampling technique. In each selected village, 18 sugarcane farmers were selected randomly thus, making a total of 180 respondents. The data were collected through quantitative methods. A pre-tested and well-structured interview schedule was developed for the collection of information from sugarcane farmers.  Data were analyzed using both descriptive and inferential statistics through the Statistical Package for Social Sciences. Results indicated that there was a significant difference between the two groups, adopter and non-adopters of mitigation strategies towards climate change. The results revealed that the majority (98.3 % and 75 %) of the growers reported that an increase in temperature and deforestation for the last five years respectively. Moreover, residues burring and deforestation were major causes of climate change followed by an excess of CO2 from agriculture activities and farm operations. The study recommended that the adoption of cultural practices in mitigation of the impact of climate change should be promoted through information sources.
Threat Asymmetry and Transition in Deterrence: Technical Assessment of India’s Ballistic Missile Defense Shield
Authors: Khan Furqan , Saeed Khadijah
Published: April 2021

The global change in perception following the Cold War from deterrence by punishment in the form of Mutually Assured Destruction (MAD) to deterrence by denial has multiplied the utility of the Ballistic Missile Defense (BMD). India’s willingness to acquire and develop the advanced BMD shield is inspired, especially by Reagan’s Star Wars and the global shift in using it as an instrument of deterrence by denial. But as the application of its offensive-defensive paradox, India is raising a multi-layer air defense system to enhance its freedom of action and to acquire impunity in carrying out what New Delhi believes as its ‘limited war’ strategy against Pakistan. However, despite having a number of air defense systems in place including the recently acquired advanced S-400 air defense system, India is unable to shield itself completely from the counter-force or counter-value strikes by Pakistan as evident by the Balakot debacle. This is not only because India lags behind in BMD technology but also because of its inability to afford a comprehensive pan-national BMD shield. Therefore, the paper argues that, India’s attempt to build a multi-layer air defense system, rather than ensuring balance of power, destabilizes it and the delicate deterrence in place. This is because the threat asymmetry allows Pakistan to develop advanced nuclear capabilities including BMD evading delivery vehicles like MIRV as the offensive firepower to communicate the threat as an effective deterrence. Resultantly, the employment of BMD in South Asia disturbs strategic parity, fractures deterrence, drags down nuclear threshold and hence raises the cost of conflict between Pakistan and India with an elevated threat of annihilation.
Lexical Botany in Amarakośa

Published: April 2021

Sanskrit literature abounds in lexicons. Amarakośa is the most celebrated and authoritative ancient thesaurus of Sanskrit. There are references to various lexicons in many ancient Sanskrit texts, but none of these except for Dhanvantari’s and Amarasiṃha’s are extant. Between the two, the latter’s work Nāmaliṇgānuśāsana popularly known as Amarakośa is very familiar to every student of Sanskrit. The actual name of the book ‘Nāmaliṇgānuśāsana’ means instruction concerning nouns and gender. It is divided into three kāṇḍas (volumes). Eachkāṇḍa is divided into Vargas depending on the subject they deal with. A list of more than 220 plants is mentioned with all the synonyms in the four Vargas. The plants that are revealed in the Amarakośacan be classified into huge trees, edible fruit trees, shrubs, herbs, creepers, water plants, grasses, pulses, cereals, wild cereals and others. Plants that are generally used for incensing, perfumery and cosmetics for human consumption are mentioned in the Manuṣhya Varga. In the Vaiśyavarga crops of commercial value are included.
