Authors: KARGA GÖLLÜ Bilge
Published: August 2023

Süleyman Çelebi’nin Vesîletü’n-Necât’ı, halk arasında söylenen ismiyle Mevlîd’i yüzyıllardır insanlığın gönlünde taht kurmuş ve en çok okunup dinlenen eserler arasında ilk sırayı almıştır. Türk diliyle yazılmış yapıtlar içinde kendisine nadide bir yer ayrılan Mevlîd’e duyulan bu sevgi ve rağbet, eserin yazma nüsha sayısını da aynı oranda artırmıştır. Mevlîd ile ilgili çalışmalarda, her ne kadar eserin nüsha sayısı ve nüshalarındaki karışıklıklarla diğer problemler ele alınmış olsa da yanıtlanmayı bekleyen sorular araştırmacıları meşgul etmeye devam etmiştir. Tanıtılan kitap süregelen sorunlara yazarının tespit ettiği yeni bir nüsha ve elde edilen diğer nüshaların mukayesesiyle çözüm üretmesi bakımından farklı ve önemlidir.
BİR DEPREM DESTANINDA TARİHİN İZLERİ: “MÜREFTE VE CİVARI BÜYÜK ZELZELE VE YANGINI GARİB DESTANI”
Authors: ÖZDEMİR Cafer
Published: August 2023

Âşıklık geleneği içinde savaş, göç, deprem, kuraklık gibi önemli hadiselerin mevzu edildiği destan türü, ait olduğu toplumun başından geçenleri geleceğe aktarmada önemli bir fonksiyon üstlenmektedir. Edebî bir ürün olmasına rağmen hareket noktası gerçek bir olaya dayandığı için tarihi bilgilerin yetersiz olduğu veya eksik bilgilerin tamamlanmasında paha biçilemez bir değere sahip olmaktadır. Fakat gerçeklerin âşığın bakış açısıyla kurgulanarak edebî bir yapıya bürünmesi ve söz konusu edilen ayrıntıların kaynaklarının kestirilememesi bu bilgilere temkinli yaklaşmayı zorunlu kılmaktadır. Fakat âşığın, gerçekleşen hadisenin topluma etkisini, bireylerin olay karşısındaki hissedişlerini; kısaca insanî tavırları ve tepkileri destan havası içinde hissetmek mümkündür. Büyük ölümlere, yaralanmalara ve yıkımlara neden olan depremler destan mevzuları içinde en dikkat çekici olaylardan biridir. Türkiye coğrafyası çok eskiden günümüze büyük depremlere sahne olmuş ve bu coğrafyada büyük kayıplar verilmiştir. Âşıklar her ne kadar bölgesel olarak belirli alanı etkileyen depremleri anlatsalar da aslında ortaya konulan acı tablo tüm ülkeyi ilgilendirmektedir. Deprem destanları bu çerçevede yöresel bir depremi mevzu ederek ülkenin tamamının acısını ve olay karşısındaki tepkilerini ortaya koymaktadır. 1912 yılında Marmara Denizi’nin kuzeyinde Şarköy, Mürefte ve Gelibolu merkezli meydana gelen büyük deprem bölgede ve yakın yerleşim birimlerinde büyük hasara neden olmuştur. Depremden etkilendiğini veya olayı gözlemlediğini tahmin ettiğimiz Soytarı mahlaslı âşık otuz sekiz dörtlükten oluşan bir destan yazmış ve bunu İstanbul’da tek sayfa olarak matbaada bastırmıştır. Çalışmamızın esasını teşkil eden bu destanı üç bölümde incelemek mümkündür. İlk on dörtlük birinci bölümü oluşturmaktadır. Burada deprem destanları formuna uygun olarak olayın toplum üzerindeki etkisi; yıl, ay, gün ve saat belirtilmiş şekilde olayın gerçekleşme zamanı bildirilmekte ve hayatın fâni olması perspektifinde depremin olağanüstü betimlemesi yapılmaktadır. İkinci bölümde depremden etkilenen yerleşim birimlerinin adları, burada meydana gelen kayıplar ve bunun üzerine yaşanan acılar zikredilmiştir. Burada yirmiye yakın yerleşim yeri ayrıntılı olmak üzere yetmişe yakın yer adı zikredilmiştir. Son bölümde ise genel sayısal veriler, devletin yardımı ve kadere boyun eğiş söz konusu edilmiştir. Çalışmamızın konusunu teşkil eden bu destanda birinci ve üçüncü bölümlerin edebî mahiyetinin bulunduğunu, ikinci bölümün ise daha çok tarihi belge niteliğinde kayıplara dair sayısal verilerle yüklü olduğunu görürüz. Sonuçta bu metnin tarih araştırmalarında kullanılabilecek mahiyete sahip olduğunu söylemek mümkündür.

Authors: TÜRKMEN Nilgün
Published: August 2023

Yemek, temelde insanın yaşamsal faaliyetleri için gerekli besin ve enerjinin kaynağıdır. İnsanoğlu, varlık serüveni boyunca bu ihtiyacını karşılamak için birçok yol ve yöntem geliştirmiştir. Yemeğin hazırlanma, sunum ve tüketilme gibi evrelerini çeşitli faktörler etkilemiştir. Din, iklim, coğrafya, medeniyet vb. söz konusu etkinin dinamiklerinden bazılarıdır. Bahsedilen unsurlar ile yemek, her toplumda topluluğa özgü geleneklerin ortaya çıkmasını sağlamıştır. Toplu yenilen yemekler ile bu geleneklere ekonomik, kültürel, siyasi, sosyal ve psikolojik birtakım işlevler yüklenmiştir. Böylece yemek, fizyolojik bir olgu olmanın ötesinde bir kültüre dönüşmüştür. Tören ritüelleri, mutfak kültürünün sözü edilen yönlerini çok boyutlu sergileyen araçlardır. Bu tören ritüellerinden biri de İskilip dolması geleneğidir. İskilip dolması, belli bir yöreye özgü olması sebebiyle coğrafi işaret almış bir yemektir. Ancak, o sadece bir yemekten ibaret değildir. İskilip’te evlilik/sünnet düğünleri, mevlitler gibi geniş katılımlı törenlerin vazgeçilmez bir parçasıdır. Bir tören yemeği olarak kendine özgü ritüelleri, kaide ve gelenekleri bulunur. Dolmacı denilen özel aşçılar tarafından yaklaşık 12 saatlik bir sürede pişirilir. Dolmacılık usta-çırak geleneği içinde öğrenilen bir meslektir. Üretim ve tüketim bağlamları ile birlikte bir yemek olmanın ötesinde bir gelenek simgesidir. Bu nedenle İskilip dolması geleneği kendine özgü yapısal özellikleri bulunan köklü bir kültürün mirasıdır. İskilip halkı bu mirası, geleneğe yüklediği misyonlarla asırlardır nesilden nesile aktararak sürdürmektedir. Bu çalışmada İskilip dolması geleneği, yapısal ve işlevsel özellikleri cihetiyle irdelenmektedir. Geleneğin dikkat çeken cinsiyet temelli rol dağılımları ve üretim-tüketim bağlamlarına dair değerlendirmeler de çalışmanın bir başka konusudur. UNESCO’nun Somut Olmayan Kültürel Miras Türkiye envanterine kaydedilmeyi hak eden mahiyeti ve sürdürülebilir kalkınma için taşıdığı potansiyel ile İskilip dolması geleneğini çok yönlü ve bütüncül bir yaklaşımla incelemek de çalışmanın hedefleri arasındadır.
DİVRİĞİ KAYNAKLI BİR CÖNKTE YER ALAN VELİ MAHLASLI ŞİİRLER ÜZERİNE İNCELEME
Authors: YILMAZ Serhat Sabri
Published: August 2023

Türk halk edebiyatının yazılı kaynakları olarak cönkler, birçok kültürel unsuru muhafaza etmelerinin yanı sıra âşıklık geleneği tarihinin teşekkülünde de mühim rol oynamaktadır. Geçmişte ve günümüzde yapılan cönk çalışmaları, diğer yazılı kaynaklarla birlikte pek çok âşığın hayatına, edebî mahsullerine ve sanat anlayışına ışık tutmuştur ve tutmaya devam etmektedir. Çorum, Kastamonu, Tokat, Malatya, Kahramanmaraş gibi Anadolu’nun birçok yöresi cönk ve mecmua bakımından hazine konumunda olmakla birlikte Sivas da bu bakımdan önde gelen yörelerden biridir. Günümüzde başta Şarkışla, Yıldızeli ve Divriği olmak üzere hâlâ kırsal bölgelerde saklanan ve tespit edilmeyi bekleyen yazmalar bulunmaktadır. Divriği ilçesinden tespit edilen ve çalışmanın konusunu oluşturan Anzahar Cöngü de bunlardan biridir. Divriği ilçesinin Eğrisu (eski adları Anzahar, Kevendüzü) köyünden bulunan cönk tipik bir Alevî-Bektâşî cöngüdür. Bununla birlikte Erzurumlu Emrah, Ruhsatî, Minhacî gibi bu zümreye mensup olmayan âşıkların da şiirlerini barındırmaktadır. Şiir sayısı bakımından Teslim Abdal, Hatâyî, Kul Himmet, Nesîmî, Pir Sultan Abdal, Noksanî gibi önde gelen zümre âşıklarının deyişleri çoğunluktadır. En çok şiir ise 19 adetle Veli mahlaslı âşıklara aittir. Veli mahlaslı şiirler incelendiğinde Sivas yöresinde yaşamış, aynı mahlası kullanan iki Veli’ye ait oldukları görülmektedir. Bunlardan ilki Şarkışla İğdecikli Veli diğeri ise Divriğili Veli’dir. Her iki âşığın şiirlerinin cönklerde bir arada yazılması hangi şiirin kime ait olduğu konusunda bir karmaşa meydana getirmiştir. Latin harflerine aktarılan şiirlerin diğer kaynaklardaki benzer metinlerinin tespit edilerek teknik kusurlarına dikkat çekilmesi ve eksik yönlerinin tamamlanması açısından fikir yürütülmesi, üzerinde durulması gereken bir diğer konudur. Bu çalışmada, cönklerin halk edebiyatı açısından önemine değinildikten sonra Anzahar Cöngü’nden kısaca bahsedilecek, Sivas yöresinde yaşamış Veli mahlaslı âşıklar üzerinde durularak “Ekler” kısmında yer alan Latin harflerine aktarılmış şiirler üzerinde durulacaktır. Böylelikle sözlü kültür etkisine dikkat çekilerek şiirlerin tespit edilen diğer benzer metinleri incelenecektir. Ayrıca bir arada verilen İğdecikli Veli ve Divriğili Veli deyişlerinin başka hangi ozanlara mal edildiği hakkında değerlendirme yapılacaktır.

Published: August 2023

Silver nanowires (AgNWs) with diverse applications are attracting the attention of many researchers around the world. In this study, we applied the polyol method to synthesize AgNWs based on Polyvinyl-pyrrolidone (PVP) average molecular weight of 360,000, ethylene glycol (EG), and AgNO3 precursor with a fresh AgCl preparation. To synthesize this material we first investigate optimal parameters through the influence of reaction temperature, time of creating AgNWs using plasmon absorption spectroscopy, and scanning electron microscope (SEM) images. The obtained AgNWs are high efficiency, large aspect ratio, and good dispersion in the solution. This sample continues to be conducted to surface functionalization by bovine serum albumin (BSA) molecules to develop AgNW@BSA complexes. We apply UV-Vis absorption spectroscopy to evaluate the optical properties of these complexes. Besides, we conduct research on the application of this material on surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS). The results show that the optical properties of these complexes obtained from UV-Vis absorption spectroscopy are comparable with the numerical modeling. In addition, AgNWs can be used to study the effective surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) to detect methylene blue (MB) molecules at low concentrations as 10-12 M.

Larrea tridentata and Origanum vulgare extracts are used in popular medicine to obtain antibacterial compounds to combat bacterial infections. Although the antibacterial activity of L. tridentata and O. vulgare extracts has been reported, hemolytic activity needs to be studied for therapeutic application. This work hypothesized minimum inhibitory but non-hemolytic concentration (MIC-NH) for L. tridentata and O. vulgare extracts. Thus, this study aimed to obtain non-hemolytic crude extracts with antibacterial activity. It was estimated that the MIC-NH of L. tridentata and O. vulgare extracts against the Staphylococcus aureus strain, an important skin pathogen bacterium, were 100 and 75 μg mL-1, respectively. Thus, these in vitro-tested extracts prevented the S. aureus strain growth without provoking hemolysis if the extract concentration was less or equal to the MIC-NH. At the same time, it was determined by gas chromatography coupled with mass spectroscopy that bis-ethylhexyl-phthalate, catechol, encecalinol, isopropyl cinnamate, phenol, guaiacine, and NDGA were antibacterial compounds in the L. tridentata extracts. Meanwhile, for O. vulgare extracts, these compounds were cymene, terpinene, thymol, carvacrol, cimendiol, hexadecanoic acid, bis-ethylhexyl-phthalate, and sitosterol. The findings of this research work must encourage the development of potential biomaterial coatings to replace conventional ones.

Training and practice preparation have long received attention as the largest factors for injury prevention. While proper training and practice programs are a crucial component of injury prevention, they only represent a piece of a larger puzzle. External factors outside of training and practice such as sleep, nutrition, hydration, and rest are equally important for injury prevention due to athletes spending a majority of their day outside of their sport. These external factors have been shown to have powerful effects relating to injury epidemiology. They have also been shown to have major effects on the body’s autonomic and hormonal regulation systems. Due to athletes spending a majority of their day outside of training and practice, it is necessary that equal importance be given to external factors outside of sport, especially in regards to sleep, nutrition, hydration, and rest for optimal injury prevention strategies.

Published: August 2023

The subject of this work is the TV series Orange is The New Black. We understand this media product as a social construction, permeated, therefore, by interactions and tensions present in society. We mobilize as a reference point Mediaculturas, which refuses to attribute to the media an essential, pre-established function of the kind of alienation. The questions that guided the investigation are as follows: What discursive disputes appear in the content of the series? What lines of discourse about race are appropriate for the show and what meanings do they have? The objectives to be achieved are: to analyze the content of the program looking for traits of reproduction and innovation of the lines of discourse regarding the racial issue in the USA; to observe the tensions, contradictions and negotiations in the appropriation of these contents; to identify the type of representation of Afro-descendants and of the racial question in the fifth season of the show; to verify the existence, or not, of proposals for normalization of behaviors and solution of social conflicts within the language and the television format; to observe if the propositions present in the show reflect the political and social scenario regarding the racial question in the USA.

O presente estudo aborda a problemática ambiental da geração de resíduos sólidos e a inadequação do gerenciamento destes nas instituições públicas. Considerando as limitações das opções de destinação final para os resíduos, é imprescindível minimizar as quantidades utilizadas dentro destas organizações por meio da redução, reutilização e reciclagem. Diante da Política Nacional de Resíduos Sólidos e em consonância com a agenda 2030, busca-se contribuir e apontar caminhos para o enfrentamento da grave questão. O presente artigo teve por objetivo realizar uma revisão sistemática da literatura acerca da política de gerenciamento de resíduos sólidos em instituições públicas. Para tanto, foi utilizada a revisão sistemática por meio do protocolo PRISMA (Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses). As buscas ocorreram entre os anos de 2013 e 2022 nas bases de dados Web of Science, Scopus, Scielo, Google Scholar e Oasisbrs. Ao fim da revisão, foram selecionados 79 trabalhos acadêmicos do total de 1.760 pesquisados. Os resultados encontrados mostraram que existe grande déficit de pesquisas relacionadas à temática abordada nas bases de estudo. O que a pesquisa concluiu? Por exemplo, a pesquisa mostrou que, apesar do Brasil possuir leis exemplares de gerenciamento de resíduos sólidos, tal atividade ainda é muito incipiente nas instituições públicas brasileiras.

The impact of the share of waste lignocellulosic biomass from apple orchards on the susceptibility to drilling of produced particle boards. Every year, care cuts are carried out in the orchards, which result in a significantamount of waste. This waste is a valuable source of lignocellulosic material for particleboards production. As part of this study, the influence of the share of waste apple wood on the susceptibility to drilling of particleboards was investigated. Three-layer particle boards with share of lignocellulosic waste biomass from apple orchards (0%, 25%, 50% and 75%) and density level at 650 kg/m3and 550 kg/m3 were made. The particleboards were examined for the axial force and torque that occurs during drilling. The highest value of the axial force during drilling was notice for particleboard without apple wood and a density of 650 kg/m3. While the lowest axial force during drilling was recorded for particleboard with 50% share of apple wood and density of 550 kg/m3. The obtained results allow to conclude that density of the produced particleboards and the share of apple wood waste have a statistically significant effect on the axial force during drilling. While the share of apple wood do not statistically affect the torque during drilling. In the case of the pressing unit pressure used in the particleboards production process, no statistically significant influence on the axial force and torque during drilling was found

Authors: DAS MANISH
Published: August 2023

An investigation was carried out to study the impact of sowing date and row spacing on yield components and swelling factor of Plantago indica during 2009-10 & 2010-11 at Directorate of Medicinal and Aromatic Plants Research (DMAPR), Anand, Gujarat. Its an endeavour and a step forward to develop Good Agricultural Practices (GAP) in this newly introduced species. In this study, the sowing dates in five levels (30 October, 15 November, 30 November, 15 December and 30 December) and row spacings in six levels (50 × 15 cm, 60 × 15 cm, 65 × 15 cm, 70 × 15 cm, 75 × 15 cm and 80 × 15 cm) were evaluated. Results of experiment revealed that there were significant differences for sowing date and spacing effects on plant height, number of branch per plant, number of spikes per plant, number of grains per plant, biological yield and grain yield. The maximum grain yield belonged to sowing date 15 November and row spacing 50 cm. Maximum number of spikes per plant and grains per plant also belonged to 50 cm row spacing which resulted in increasing grain yield in this row spacing. The results revealed that sowing between 15-30 November is the best time for sowing in P. indica with suitable spacing either at 50 or 60 × 15 cm. However, seeds sown on 30 November showed significantly more swelling (12.0 cc/g) compared to those sown on other dates. Swelling factor varied from 9.0 to 12.0 cc/g. Hence, it can be concluded that the sowing date played an important role on the growth parameters and seed characteristics of Plantago indica. However, swelling factor in this species is a matter of concern which was not much influenced by these factors.

Field experiments were conducted during 2006-07 to 2008-09 to assess the response of different cropping systems and organic amendments on productivity and soil health at mid altitude (950 m MSL) of Meghalaya. The treatments consisted of two rice based (rice (Oryza sativa L.) + soybean [Glycine max (L.) Merr.] - rapeseed, rice + soybean - tomato (Solanum lycopersicum L.) and two maize based (maize (Zea mays L.) + soybean - groundnut (Arachis hypogaea L.), maize + soybean- French bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.)) cropping systems and five organic amendments, viz. farmyard manure (FYM), vermicompost (VC), local compost (LC), combined sources of nutrient (1/3 FYM +1/ 3 VC + 1/3 LC) and control (no manure) as sources of nutrient supply. Organic manures were applied on N-equivalent basis and phosphorus requirement was compensated through rock phosphate. The results revealed that the yield of different crops were maximum under combined sources of nutrient supply (CSN). Pooled (3 years) maize equivalent yield (MEY) was the highest under FYM followed by CSN and remained at par with each other. The pooled MEY under FYM and CSN were 171 % and 162 % higher than control, respectively. Among the cropping systems, maize + soybean - French bean recorded the highest MEY (28.78 t/ha). Total N, P and K uptake was maximum with CSN and remained similar with FYM. Maximum bulk density, soil organic carbon, soil microbial biomass carbon, dehydrogenase enzyme activity, available N and K in soil after three cropping cycles were also recorded under CSN. Maize + soybean - French bean cropping system along with FYM as source of nutrient supply was found to be cost effective with optimum productivity during transition to organic farming.

Published: August 2023

Adoption of agri-horti system and associated factors need to be viewed in totality which calls for the empirical evidences to design pin pointed programmes in order to enhance productivity. The study conducted in Doda district of Jammu and Kashmir state revealed that the farmers’ adoption level of seed component of field crops and plant protection components of fruit crops were found to be low. Most of the respondents reported high level of training needs with respect to training and pruning, field sanitation, weed management, selection of fruit plants and diseases management. The farmers’ characteristics like family occupation, land holding, economic motivation, innovation proneness and information sources utilization were found to be positively and significantly associated with their training needs. The farmers’ preferences regarding training programme organization included one week duration, more focus on practical aspects with demonstration method and organization of training in small group in their own locality before sowing and planting season. Therefore, the study has highlighted the need for restructuring the training programmes to benefit the farmers operating agri-horti farming system. Such an approach would boost production and generate additional income for producers and other small scale operators along the value-chain.

The study assessed climate change impact on the use of plastic products among agro-marketers and horticultural enterprises in Calabar agricultural zone of Cross River State. A Structured questionnaire was used to collect primary data. The study adopted the multistage sampling procedure to select a total of 200 respondents from agro-market and horticultural enterprises. Results show that climate change influenced the socioeconomic characteristics of respondents by; increasing their labour ( = 2.7), enhancing their membership into professional, cooperative, market or farm organization ( =2.53) and improved their knowledge through plastic and climate change awareness ( = 2.47). Climate change influenced agro-market enterprises through payment of carbon emission tax ( = 2.94), increase the cost of packaged goods due to unfavourable plastic policies (2.92) and increase in the release of harmful chemicals from plastic waste due to higher temperature to the environment (2.75). Recommendations advocated improvement in the level of climate change awareness on the use of plastic products for agro- marketers and horticulturists in the study area in order to reduce the severe impact of climate change on products in plastic packages. Also, that the production of plastic products be monitored by government agencies to ensure a total removal or lowest rate of incorporation of hazardous chemicals that are easily influenced by the climate to alter the quality of products in plastics.
Indigenous Knowledge Systems (IKS) and Adaptation of Climate Smart Agriculture (CSA) in Nigeria
Authors: Ayi N.A. , Undiandeye U.C
Published: August 2023

This review is focused on Indigenous knowledge systems (IKS) and adaptation of climate smart agriculture (CSA) in Nigeria. Specifically, this paper discusses the role of indigenous knowledge in farmers’ perception of climate change; indigenous knowledge used by farmers in responding to climate change; challenges in applying IKS in CSA adaptation and opportunities to integrate indigenous knowledge and CSA into extension education. The impacts of climate change are observed at various spatial scales; from local to global and are a threat to global environmental sustainability, particularly its consequent risks to indigenous communities and their livelihoods. Climate Smart Agriculture (CSA) offers an integrative approach to adaptation within the context of agriculture that involves services to farmers and farm activities with the intention of creating greater resilience of farming systems in the face of environmental change and reducing the environmental effects. The concept of CSA is new and still evolving, howbeit, many of the practices that make up CSA already exist worldwide and are currently used by farmers to cope with various forms of risks. To foster CSA using IKS, it calls for in-depth analysis of successfully completed and on-going practices as well as their relationship with current and future agricultural and environmental outlook. IKS can help to achieve food security and broaden agricultural development in this time of a changing climate and rising food demand.

Since 21 st century began over two decades ago, there seems to be a paradigm shift in educational values across the globe. This has left us with the options of either to swim or sink. In order not to sink, educational systems of most countries of the world began to rethink educational practices in order to remain relevant in this knowledge economy and communication technology driven age. Up to the advent of the twenty-first century, education systems around the world concentrated on training their students to simply acquire content and knowledge. Students were therefore seen as needing to learn reading and numerical skills in order to acquire content and information. But more recently, information and knowledge have become widely available and simple to obtain because of advances in technology and communication. Business education has been thought to be an instructional model that instills in its client the necessary applicable skills, talents, and competencies for independence. Even though these abilities are still v ital and relevant, but are no more enough to keep degree holders employed in the volatile and competitive economy. As a result, there is a massive disparity between the information and expertise that students gain in university and those that they would need succeed in quintessential 21st century cultures and organizations. It is necessary to modify toward offering learners a set of abilities that depended not just on intellect but on all interrelatedness of mental, behavioral, and affective traits if we are to react appropriately to these contemporary innovation, target audience, and cultural transformations. In considering this, the paper examined the concepts of 21 st century education, 21 st century learning objectives, the concept of business education, and the communication technological skills in 21 st century required of graduates. Also, conclusions and key recommendations were offered.

Published: August 2023

The study analyzed the impact of foreign direct investment on Nigeria economic growth over the period of 1987- 2017. The main type of data used in this study is secondary; sourced from various publications of Central Bank of Nigeria, such as; Statistical Bulletin, Annual Reports and Statement of Accounts. The regression analysis of the Augmented Dickey Fuller Unit Root Test (ADF) and Auto-Regressive Distributive Lag (ARDL) were the estimation technique employed in this study to determine the stationarity/order of integration and the relationship between Foreign Direct Investment and economic growth. The findings revealed and concluded that there exists a long run relationship between foreign direct investments on the Nigeria economic growth. That is, economic growth is directly related to inflow of foreign direct investment and it is also statistical significant at 5% level. This implies that foreign direct investment is an engine of economic growth. The paper recommended that government should liberalize the foreign sector in Nigeria so that all barriers to trade such as arbitrary tariffs; import and export duties and other levies should be reduced so as to encourage investors.

We reviewed literatures on the complex causality among oil revenue, non-oil revenue, fiscal risk factors and budget execution phase in relation to debt overhang and crowding-out theory. The majority of papers surveyed study on investigated the long-run and short-run relationship between fluctuations of oil price ; direction of causality between total revenue and total government spending ; the dynamics of the tax revenue and expenditure nexus, explored the impact of oil prices volatility on the key factors of the government budget, analyse the relationship between public expenditure and debt —little research in the area of the impact of oil price fluctuations on key macroeconomics variables. The evidence provided by the empirical literature is that there are indeed heterogeneous responses to position on complex causality among oil revenue, non-oil revenue, fiscal risk factors and budget execution phase in relation to debt overhang and crowding-out theory. It is detected that most study reviewed did not disintegrated relevant revenue: oil revenue (upstream oil revenues, downstream oil revenues, petroleum profit tax(PPT)); non-oil revenue (company income tax (CIT), value added tax (VAT), personal income tax ) and budget risk factors: oil price volatility (OPV)(OPEC Spot OPV, Brent OPV, West Texas Intermediate OPV), public debt (external public debt, domestic public debt), debt servicing (external debt interest service and domestic debt interest service) on budget execution phase (public expenditure: capital budget expenditure and recurrent budget expenditure). It is recommended that research effort should be made in answering the following research questions: what is the effect of oil revenue on budget implementation (public expenditure: capital expenditure and recurrent expenditure)? How non-oil tax revenue is correlates with budget implementation (public expenditure: capital expenditure and recurrent expenditure)? Of what effect is oil price vola
Terra, magistratura, poder político e capital intelectual: os ilustres da Comarca de São João do Cariri (Paraíba- 1889-1930)

As figuras centrais desta discussão são os homens do Direito da Comarca de São João do Cariri, cujas trajetórias foram marcadas pela presença dos mesmos nos tabuleiros da justiça e da política, ao mesmo tempo, no decorrer de toda a Primeira República. Os togados da justiça se tornaram também os homens mais influentes, não somente nos limites do município de São João do Cariri, sede da referida comarca, como também em nível estadual e, até mesmo, nacional. Dentre os objetivos principais desta análise está em discorrer de que forma a posse de grandes propriedades rurais facilitaram o acesso à Faculdade de Direito do Recife, onde se formavam e voltavam para atuar nas cidades que emergiam naquele momento histórico. Sendo que, diferente de seus pais e avoengos, que encerravam a sua influência nos limites de suas fazendas, passaram a transitar entre a justiça e a política em novo território que, aos poucos, passara a ter importância decisiva no decorrer da Primeira República: o povoado, a vila, a cidade. Observamos, inclusive, de que forma o enaltecimento da condição de homens do direito, de certo modo, suplantou a possibilidade de serem construídos apenas enquanto coronéis, perfil de homem que perpassava pela atuação dos mesmos na esfera política e econômica em suas propriedades rurais, como nos municípios emergentes. Podiam ter sido identificados somente enquanto parte da conjuntura do coronelismo, própria do período histórico abordado, mas não o foram. A metodologia utilizada foi norteada pela revisão crítica bibliográfica relacionada à micro-história e à nova história política na Primeira República, na Paraíba. Fontes do judiciário, a exemplo de processos criminais ligados às questões agrárias, também foram imprescindíveis nesta análise.

MS 157: AN EVOLVING STORY
Authors: RAO V , CHANG K C
Published: August 2023

MS 157, the Malaysian standard for commercial oil palm seed, first came out in 1973. There have been four revisions since and the current fifth standard is MS 157:2017. The standard has greatly contributed to the massive expansion in palm oil production in Malaysia from the 1970s to the present, setting the benchmark for quality planting materials. Compiled without any legal power for enforcement, its clout derives from it being the pre-requisite quality for the seeds to be sold in Malaysia. The standard, essentially, specifies the quality for oil palm seeds to be planted commercially. Anyone can sell / plant any seed, but to set up shop to sell seeds, the sellers have to be licenced and the licensing requires that only seeds satisfying MS 157 standard be sold. Seedlings, including clonal ramets, are not covered. During the 45 years of its evolution, keywords have been defined and the definitions honed, and performance criteria revised for the different types of genetic stocks used to produce the seeds. The shift in emphasis from parental performance, particularly of dura mother palms, to that of DxP progenies mirrors the shift from dura as planting material at the dawn of oil palm growing in Malaysia to DxP from the 1960s. Clonal seeds are gradually increasing in market share but there are no specific provisions in MS 157 yet. The 2017 revision missed recent developments in oil palm genomics which could have strengthened the standard further, but this can be done in its next iteration. Keywords: D x P, seeds, standard.
