“Otherization” In Hanıf Kureıshı’s The Buddha Of Suburbia
Authors: OKUROĞLU ÖZÜN Şule
Published: October 2019

Since the late twentieth and early
twenty-first centuries, the idea of immigrant identity has been re-evaluated
and problematized with the rise of a diasporic questioning of territorial
roots, cultural differences and pre-determined borders. Essentializing point of
view in the field of post-colonial studies, which is used to define centre/periphery,
belonging/nonbelonging, nation/diaspora and self/other, has highlighted the
identity formation of immigrants as a linear process in which non-Western
European immigrants reconstruct their identities as citizens of the First
World. Hinged on the idea that any category or group needs borders that may be physical,
illusory, or metaphorical, in order to define and distinguish itself and its
difference from the others (these may be body borders, nation borders, or
racial and ethnic borders), one of the common themes of such an approach is to
display firm national and ethnic boundaries set by colonial and neo-colonial
practices, and to analyse representations of newcomers within the dominant
discourse as outsiders or aliens. Categorical borders and social meanings
attributed to those groups, consciously and unconsciously, shape structural
features of othering. Kureishi’s magnum opus, The Buddha of Suburbia, a significant immigrant novel, deals with
the verbal and physical consequences of othering and racism through the
protagonist, Karim, his family and friends. This paper aims to explore the idea
of otherization in The Buddha of Suburbia,
and how Western discourse tries to construct a stable marginalized immigrant
identity through appropriating and assimilating the other as a part of European
ethnocentrism.

Preconditions of the formation and organizational development of the Mariupol eparchy of the Ukrainian Orthodox Autocephalous Synodal Church in 1922 – 1937
Authors: Рубан М.Ю.
Published: October 2019

The historical circumstancesof the organizational development of the Renovatonist movement in the Orthodox Church in Donbass still remain one of the less investigated pages of the Ukrainian Local Church history. Despite the fact thatthe problem of Ukrainian Church history of interwar period has been studied by many researchers, a large number of questions exist which require elaboration. Nowadays on the basis of the earlier unknown material it is possible to widen the general picture of the mentioned events. That`s why the main purpose of the article is to figure out the circumstances of the organizational development of the Renovatonist movement in the Orthodox Church in Mariupol region during the first decades of the Soviet rule in Ukraine.

The originality of the article involves an attempt to research the events of Donbass Church history without traditional historicalclichés, and in this case all the trends of Ukrainian ecclesiastic life of that time should be considered. In our strong opinion ignoring the deep needs of interecсlesiastic life’s normalization led to a Church split. With help of the atheistic government the Renovationist movement achieved its institutional organization. The characteristic issue of the religious life in Donbass was its relative conservatism. That was the main cause of the slow development pace of the reformationally oriented Ukrainian Orthodox Autocephalous Synodal Church. Moreover, while speaking about the Synodal Church should be taken into consideration the demonstratively loyal attitude of the Ukrainian Renovationist hierarchs to the atheistic government. That`s why despite the renovationist hierarchs` attempts to minimize the reformative tendencies the Synodal Church in Mariupol region could cover only half of the Orthodox parishes on the land’s territory. The Mariupol eparchy was one of the biggest in Donbass.

In conclusion it`s worth mentioning that nowadays the research of Donbass church history of interwar period is complicated by the difficult political situation in the region. Unfortunately the material of the Lugansk and Donetsk archives is unavailable for Ukrainian researches, but gradual actualization of this problem makes the strong prospects for its fast research in future.
The «vigilance» campaign of the 1930s in Ukraine and its consequences
Authors: Сергієнко Ю.Г.
Published: October 2019

Considered forms and methods of the campaign "vigilance" in Ukraine in 1930s, which was carried out a view to approving a strictly centralized power and the main consequences of this campaign. In particular, the suppression lit any dissent within the ruling party. Determined that the course towards repression, as a method of achieving political goals was founded by Lenin. Was reflected the process of converting of the Bolshevik Party virtually in a paramilitary organization. Have been analyzed methods of attracting wider population in the campaign "vigilance". It is proved that the campaign "vigilance" stimulated painful craving for secrecy in politics, intolerance to the thoughts and views, the behavior of different from of the declared political power. Ultimately, the campaign "vigilance" has led to increased fear of authority in society, for fear of initiatives to distortion of by the media a state of inner life of the country and the life in foreign countries. This campaign has become an important factor in the approval of a totalitarian state.
RISK CONSIDERATION IN THE INVESTMENT PLAN OF CREATING A VINEYARD
Authors: REPISKÝ JOZEF
Published: October 2019

The paper is focused on creation and evaluation of the investment project of establishing vineyard with risk taken into consideration via a simulation model. The basis of this work was the creation of a multi period balance model and formation of different variants of the individual projects which differ in production volume and mean of financing. The model accepts to full extent initial decisions on the supposed yields, selling prices and the way of depreciation of vineyard and its fencing. In other parts of the model, the investor introduces only prices per unit of labour to services such as pre-agglomeration of land, vineyard plantation and its cultivation in different years, fencing and supporting construction and all other calculations are done automatically representing the intermediate results and model outputs. Part of the model covering the loan gives information on total initial costs of the projects including working capital and total capital costs. They are financed from equity, loans, and subsidies.
The main evaluation criterion of the deterministic calculations was the net present value which takes into consideration the time factor and belongs among the dynamic methods. By means of sensitivity and simulation analysis is possible to identify an appropriate investment strategy under the risk conditions. The risk factors, which were identified by sensitivity analysis, are defined as random variables with certain probability distribution. Critical values of target criterion give information value which we can expect with willingness to tolerate given risk quantification. The spreadsheet model allows to simulate various financial investment and credit and depreciation procedures.
The multi-period model allows for the assessment of individual investment intentions through the Net Present Value indicator and through the sensitivity and simulation analysis to identify the most appropriate investment strategy under risk conditions. The risk factors, which were identified by sensitivity analysis are defined as random variables with certain probability distribution in stochastic model. Critical values of target criterion give information which value can we expect with willingness to tolerate given risk quantification. The multi-period balance model can also be transformed into an optimization model by a suitable adjustment.
Key words: investment decision making, net present value, risk analysis, modeling analysis, risk, uncertainty, viticulture, investment project.
OPERATIONAL LEVERIDGE IS AN IMPORTANT ECONOMIC INDICATOR
Authors: PARMAKLY D. , TODORICH L. , DUDOGLO T.
Published: October 2019

The article establishes the necessity of developing a methodology for assessing the economic stability of production and sales in both theoretical and practical aspects. It is specified that when maximizing the profit of an enterprise, account should be taken of the growing production risks.
Estimates of stability and / or riskiness of manufactured and sold products, using the indicator of the price operational leverage and the coefficient of profitability of sales.
The article summarizes the methodical approaches to determining the indicator of an operating leverage in foreign economic literature. Practical calculations of the natural and price operational levers are presented, criteria for the acceptable level of entrepreneurial risk are developed taking into account the financial stability of the agricultural enterprise.
Statistical information on the size and structure of the cost of production of certain types of plant products (wheat, corn, sunflower, grapes) in agricultural enterprises is systematized. The structure of fixed and variable costs in the production of these crops is determined, as well as the situation of the relevant product markets.
It is proved that the calculation of the level of operating leverage in the production of a particular type of crop production allows us to assess the state of economic sustainability and, accordingly, to formulate rational management decisions to achieve the permissible level of risk and increase the efficiency of production activities. The mechanism of management of the production program is based on the consideration of the change in the value of the strength of the operating lever at different trends in the development of the market situation of the corresponding products.
It is substantiated that the size of the operating lever is influenced by the sectoral features of agricultural production, the level of technical support, the volume of production, the price conjuncture of the domestic and foreign markets of the corresponding products, etc. indicators. The authors highlight that the main advantage of operational analysis for the enterprise management system is the ability to develop scenarios of influence on the amount of profit that the enterprise will receive, subject to a change in several factors: volume of production, composition and value of costs, product prices, structural changes in the product composition of the production program .
Keywords: sustainability, riskiness, operational leverage, profitability of sales, income, profit.
Features of vegetable development in peasant personal peasant economy
Authors: Kalchenko S. , Kolokolchikova I.
Published: October 2019

The article finds that the main reasons for the movement of the main volumes of vegetable production in the PF are the inconsistency and incompleteness of market reforms in agriculture, which has affected the state of the corporate sector of agrarian production, as well as the need to solve the problem of forming the family budget of a significant part of the rural population, mainly due to proceeds from the sale of grown products. Such a redistribution of production has both positive and negative moments: production has become low-profitable, the bulk of products are used for domestic consumption, the population consumes vegetables extremely unevenly throughout the year and depending on the region.
It is proved that the primitive way of using labor and conservatism in the organization of the production process, the avoidance of progressive technical techniques negatively affected the yield of vegetable crops, and, as a consequence, reduces the potential volume of gross tax.
The main problems hampering the further development of vegetable growing in individual peasant farms are: low competitiveness of vegetable products, in the price range through the use of high-cost technologies with low level of mechanization of production processes; reduction of the role of science in the development of vegetable growing; low product marketability; lack of quality seed material of vegetable crops meeting the requirements of local soil-climatic conditions.
To increase the production of vegetables in the personal peasant economy and increase the income of rural residents on this basis, it is necessary to provide them with support at the state and local levels. Favorable lending is among the most important support measures; creation of specialized service structures, including the sale of vegetable products; stimulation of economic entities providing assistance to households; the development of cooperative ties of private peasant farms with agricultural, processing enterprises, trade establishments.
Proposed measures of state and regional support to private peasant farms will promote sustainable development of rural areas and ensuring food security of Ukraine.

COMPARISON OF FARM SIZE CALCULATION IN PLANT PRODUCTION IN THE CONDITIONS OF THE SLOVAK AND CZECH REPUBLIC
Authors: ROVNÝ PATRIK , DOBÁK DUŠAN , EVTEEVA TATIANA , PLACHÝ MAREK
Published: October 2019

The agricultural sector in the Czech and Slovak Republic has problems in big and also in small farms. The pa-
per is based on the assumption of the family farm algorithm, which is focused on the plant production. A family farm is represented by two adults and two children. The aim is to calculate the minimum size of the farm in hectare needed to achieve the average income (in the national economy) of the 4-member family in the Czech Republic and in Slovakia.
The algorithms for determining the size of a family farm focused on crop farming in the corn production area in the economic and production conditions of the Czech Republic and the Slovak Republic were given the following inputs: the average annual income of a 4 member family, own costs for chosen crops, prices crops, average subsidies for agricultural land, average annual harvests of chosen crops. Data were obtained from the ministries of agriculture and statistical offices from both states.
We calculate the average 4 member family in Slovakia needs to earn minimum 16 77.44 Euro per year and in the Czech Republic 18 322.08 Euro per year. The results of the paper proved that, according to the model of an average farm focused on crop production, the acreage of 89.99 ha in Slovakia and 122.31 ha in the Czech Republic of agricultural land needs to have one family farm. We are calculating with following commodities: wheat, barley, grain maize, sunflower, oil rape, potatoes and pea.
One way to track changes in farm structure is to examine trends in the average size of holding, or average herd size in the case of livestock farms. However, this measure can seriously underestimate the pace of change where much of the growth (in area farmed, or in livestock numbers) takes place on the larger holdings. The persistence of many small holdings, even though the share of the land or livestock that they control is small and may be falling, tends to mask the extent of structural change as measured by averages.
The aim of submitted paper is to determine the minimum size of agricultural land of a small family farm focused on plant production in the economic and production conditions of the Czech and Slovak Republics.
In the submitted paper the data on farmers has been used in Slovakia and the Czech Republic from the data of business calculations by Research Institute of Agricultural and Food Economics from Slovakia and Research Institute of Agricultural Economy from Czech Republic.

Economic aspects of energy efficiency in Ukrainian agricultural enterprises` dairy farming
Authors: Radko V.
Published: October 2019

It was established that material and technical support of milk production process in agricultural enterprises is an important reserve for increasing economic stability on the basis of creation of high-tech and energy-efficient production management system. The directions of innovative provision of technological processes in dairy farming are outlined: forage conservation; keeping and feeding animals; creation of farms with waste heat utilization, mechanized feeding, milking, waste management (robotic farms); computerization of milk production accounting processes and the prediction of the genetic value of animals; milk quality control by means of electronic means for testing of fat and protein content in milk; systems of cooling and milk storage.
It has been proved that energy expenditure in dairy farming depends on a large number of factors, in particular the methods of keeping farm animals and their productivity, the level of mechanization and automation of technological processes on the farm, etc. It is established that in determining the energy costs, energy expenditure is taken into account only for individual, often final, technological operations, resulting in an assessment of the efficiency of milk production that is incomplete, which does not allow to objectively determine the efficiency of technological solutions.
Summarizing the aforementioned, it will be grounded that the reduction of energy consumption in the milk production is possible not only on the basis of technical re-equipment of equipment, reconstruction and replacement on the new, but also due to the formation of rational consumer behavior and the development of a sound management policy for the use of energy resources at all stages of production dairy products.
It is proposed to create at the agricultural enterprises an appropriate unit for ensuring energy efficiency and the appointment of a manager. Moreover, the responsibility of the manager should be clearly regulated and controlled by the business owners to fulfill all the requirements of energy saving, which should result in the reduction of energy consumption. It is proved that the reduction of energy consumption for milk production is achieved on the basis of providing the microclimate by utilizing the heat that is in the air and is removed from the premises.

Love Sick: Malick's Kierkegaardian ‘Weightless’ Trilogy
Authors: Sinnerbrink Robert
Published: October 2019

Malick's ‘weightless’ trilogy (To the Wonder [2012], Knight of Cups [2015] and Song to Song [2017]) explores the limits of different conceptions of love, from the romantic and ethical to the spiritual and religious. Focusing on To the Wonder, I argue that this exploration of subjective experiences of love is manifested through Malick's distinctive cinematic style, which aims to present the ‘weightless’ (groundless, shifting and distracted) subjectivity defining contemporary moral-cultural experience. Malick's trilogy thereby recapitulates both a Platonic and a Kierkegaardian existentialist movement of ascent, from aesthetic and ethical to religious experiences of love.
The Missing View in Global Postsecular Cinema: Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon as a Visual Kōan/Gong'an
Authors: Chang Chia-Ju
Published: October 2019

This article explores intersections between critical theory, Buddhism (Chan/Zen in particular), and film studies in what Jürgen Habermas characterizes as the current ‘post-secular society’. I use Ang Lee's Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon (2000) as a case in point to unveil a hidden kōan/gong'an structure or subtext. I view the medium of film as a technology of Chan eudaimon that is capable of deconstructing a reified self and helping the viewer develop compassion for cultivating an awakened mind. Cinema, in this light, can be recruited to foster a collective, self-less mind and culture that is urgently needed in China and beyond.
Film's Religious Algorithm
Authors: Pick Anat
Published: October 2019

This article explores Simone Weil's concept of ‘affliction’ and the black poetics of Saidiya Hartman and Fred Moten in relation to two nonfiction films: Artur Aristakisyan's Palms (1993) and Forough Farrokhzad's The House Is Black (1962). The films’ contentiousness springs from their provocative depictions of suffering, presented not as a social ill but as a defiant mode of being outside of institutional power. Supplanting the search for a cure with the search for salvation, the films transcend the socially-conscious logic of documentary in favour of a ‘religious algorithm’ of profound but recalcitrant weakness. As alternative ‘city symphonies’, Palms and The House Is Black's municipal visions complement Hartman and Moten's vivid accounts of insurgent black life in American cities.

SPH-FEM Design of Laminated Plies under Bird-Strike Impact
Authors: Zhou Yadong , Sun Youchao , Huang Tianlin
Published: October 2019

Composite laminates can potentially reduce the weight of aircrafts; however, they are subjected to bird strike hazards in civil aviation. To handle their nonlinear dynamic behaviour, in this study, the impact damage of composite laminates were numerically evaluated and designed by means of smoothed particle hydrodynamics (SPH) and the finite element method (FEM) to simulate the interaction between bird projectiles and the laminates. Attention was mainly focused on the different damage modes in various laminates’ plies induced by bird impact on a square laminated plate. A continuum damage mechanics approach was exploited to simulate damage initiation and evolution in composite laminates. Damage maps were computed with respect to different ply angles, i.e., 0°, 45° and −45°. The damage distributions were comparatively investigated, and then the ply design was considered for crashworthiness improvement. The results aim to serve as a design guideline for future prototype-scale bird strike studies of complex laminated structures.

Published: October 2019

The spatial profile of Hα spectrum is regularly measured using a high-resolution multi-track spectrometer in ADITYA tokamak to study the neutral particle behavior. The Monte Carlo neutral particle transport code DEGAS2 is used to model the experimental Hα spectral emissions. Through the modeling of the spectral line profile of Hα, it is found that the neutral hydrogen, which is produced from molecular hydrogen and molecular hydrogen ion dissociation processes contributes 56% to the total Hα emission, and the atoms which are produced from charge-exchange process have 30% contribution. Furthermore, the experimentally measured spatial profile of chord integrated brightness was modeled for the two plasma discharges having relatively high and low density to understand the neutral particle penetration. The presence of neutrals inside the core region of the ADITYA tokamak is mainly due to the charge-exchange process. Furthermore, it is observed that neutral particle penetration is lower in higher density discharge.
Low High-Density Lipoprotein Cholesterol Predisposes to Coronary Artery Ectasia

Published: October 2019

Coronary Artery Ectasia (CAE) is a phenomenon characterized by locally or diffuse coronary artery dilation of one or more coronary arteries. In the present study, the prevalence of acquired coronary ectasia and coronary risk factors for CAE was analyzed in patients undergoing cardiac catheterization for suspected ischemic heart disease. We retrospectively analyzed 4000 patients undergoing coronary angiography for suspected coronary artery disease at our cardiac catheterization unit, and a total of 171 patients were selected. The study group was divided into three groups, 65 patients with CAE, 62 patients with significant obstructive coronary artery disease, and 44 patients with normal coronary angiograms as a control group. A negative correlation was observed between high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) and the presence of CAE (r = −0.274, p < 0.001). In addition, HDL-C (OR, 0.858; CI, 0.749–0.984; p = 0.029), low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C)/HDL-C ratio (OR, 1.987; CI, 1.542–2.882; p = 0.034), and hemoglobin (OR, 2.060; CI, 1.114–3.809; p = 0.021) were identified as independent risk factors for the development of CAE. In fact, we observed that a one-unit increase in HDL-C corresponded to a 15% risk reduction in CAE development and that each unit increase in hemoglobin could potentially increase the CAE risk by 2-fold. Low HDL-C could significantly increase the risk of developing CAE in healthy individuals. Elevated hemoglobin could predispose to subsequent dilation and aneurysm of the coronary artery. This work suggests that disordered lipoprotein metabolism or altered hemoglobin values can predispose patients to aneurysmal coronary artery disease.

In this work, as-received HiPCO single walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) are incorporated in a controllable manner at various concentrations into Cu-SWCNT composites via electroless plating, by varying the related reaction times, with polyethylene glycol (PEG) used as a dispersing agent. The resultant samples were analyzed using scanning electron microscopy (SEM) for morphology assessment, energy dispersive X-ray analysis (EDX) and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) for elemental analysis, X-ray diffraction (XRD) for the assessment of crystal phase identification, and Raman spectroscopy for the confirmation of the presence of the incorporated SWCNTs. The Cu-SWCNT composites were found to contain carbon, catalytic iron (associated with the raw, as-received SWCNTs), oxygen, and copper; the latter was found to be inversely proportional to carbon and iron contents. The oxygen (associated with both the SWCNT defect sites and oxidized copper surfaces) remained more or less constant regardless of the proportion of SWCNTs in the composites. The Raman IG:ID ratio remains within the experimental error constant, indicating that the electroless deposition does not have a deleterious effect on the SWCNTs. At short deposition times, SEM revealed a relatively dense structure comprising a distinctive fibrous morphology, suggestive of an underlying SWCNT substrate coated with copper; however, with increasing deposition, a more porous morphology is observed. The size of the granular particles increases up until 10 min of reaction, after which time it remains unchanged.
The Neglected Insulin: IGF-II, a Metabolic Regulator with Implications for Diabetes, Obesity, and Cancer

When originally discovered, one of the initial observations was that, when all of the insulin peptide was depleted from serum, the vast majority of the insulin activity remained and this was due to a single additional peptide, IGF-II. The IGF-II gene is adjacent to the insulin gene, which is a result of gene duplication, but has evolved to be considerably more complicated. It was one of the first genes recognised to be imprinted and expressed in a parent-of-origin specific manner. The gene codes for IGF-II mRNA, but, in addition, also codes for antisense RNA, long non-coding RNA, and several micro RNA. Recent evidence suggests that each of these have important independent roles in metabolic regulation. It has also become clear that an alternatively spliced form of the insulin receptor may be the principle IGF-II receptor. These recent discoveries have important implications for metabolic disorders and also for cancer, for which there is renewed acknowledgement of the importance of metabolic reprogramming.
Toward a Regional-Scale Seasonal Climate Prediction System over Central Italy Based on Dynamical Downscaling

Anticipating seasonal climate anomalies is essential for defining short-term adaptation measures. To be actionable, many stakeholders require seasonal forecasts at the regional scale to be properly coupled to region-specific vulnerabilities. In this study, we present and preliminarily evaluate a regional-scale Seasonal Forecast System (SFS) over Central Italy. This system relies on a double dynamical downscaling performed through the Regional-scale Climate Model (RCM) RegCM4.1. A twelve-member ensemble of the NCEP-CFSv2 provides driving fields for the RegCM. In the first step, the RegCM dynamically downscales NCEP-CFSv2 predictions from a resolution of 100 to 60 km over Europe (RegCM-d1). This first downscaling drives a second downscaling over Central Italy at 12 km (RegCM-d2). To investigate the added value of the downscaled forecasts compared to the driving NCEP-CFSv2, we evaluate the driving CFS, and the two downscaled SFSs over the same (inner) domain. Evaluation involves winter temperatures and precipitations over a climatological period (1982–2003). Evaluation for mean bias, statistical distribution, inter-annual anomaly variability, and hit-rate of anomalous seasons are shown and discussed. Results highlight temperature physical values reproduction benefiting from the downscaling. Downscaled inter-annual variability and probabilistic metrics show improvement mainly at forecast lead-time 1. Downscaled precipitation shows an improved spatial distribution with an undegraded but not improved seasonal forecast quality.
Holocaust Impiety in 21st Century Graphic Novels: Younger Generations ‘No Longer Obliged to Perpetuate Sorrow’
Authors: Serraf Lola
Published: October 2019

At a time where so few survivors remain alive and the extermination of European Jews is leaving the field of direct human experience, the evolving collective memory of the event is reflected in popular culture. There has recently been a rise in the number of graphic novels written on the subject of the Shoah, particularly in France, Germany, and North America. These works, written by second or even third-generation survivors nearly 80 years after the genocide, approach the event from perspectives that not only further Art Spiegelman’s path in that they challenge the so-called limits of Holocaust representations, but also open up new discussions on transgenerational trauma. Focusing on two graphic novels, Michel Kichka’s Deuxième génération: Ce que je n’ai pas dit à mon père (2012) and Jérémie Dres’ Nous n’irons pas à Auschwitz (2011), my aim here is to examine the new aspects of trauma that these texts present, more specifically the reluctance to deal with one’s past, the struggle to bear the weight of the ‘sacred’ memory of Auschwitz, and in some cases the lack of interest of the youth in the Shoah. Both these autobiographical texts narrate the story of men who end up making the conscious decision never to go to Auschwitz after finding out about their ancestors’ history, asserting their desire to not solely be defined by their family tragedy. These issues, which fit in with what Matthew Boswell and Joost Krijnen define as ‘Holocaust impiety’, mark a break with graphic novels from the 1970s and 1980s which, as Gillian Rose writes, ‘mystified’ the event as ‘something we dare not understand’.
In Search of the Iraqi Other: Iraqi Fiction in Diaspora and the Discursive Reenactment of Ethno-Religious Identities
Authors: Hanoosh Yasmeen
Published: October 2019

In Iraqi fiction, the prerogative to narrate the experience of marginal identities, particularly ethno-religious ones, appeared only in the post-occupation era. Traditionally, secular Iraqi discourse struggled to openly address “sectarianism” due to the prevalent notion that sectarian identities are mutually exclusive and oppositional to national identity. It is distinctly in post-2003 Iraq—more precisely, since the sectarian violence of 2006–2007 began to cut across class, civil society, and urban identities—that works which consciously refuse to depict normative Iraqi identities with their mainstream formulations became noticeable. We witness this development first in the Western diaspora, where Iraqi novels exhibit a fascination with the ethno-religious culture of the Iraqi margins or subalterns and impart a message of pluralistic secularism. This paper investigates the origins of the taboo that proscribed articulations of ethno-religious subjectivities in 20th-century Iraqi fiction, and then culls examples of recent diasporic Iraqi novels in which these subjectivities are encoded and amplified in distinct ways. In the diasporic novel, I argue, modern Iraqi intellectuals attain the conceptual and political distance necessary for contending retrospectively with their formative socialization experiences in Iraq. Through a new medium of marginalization—the diasporic experience of the authors themselves—they are equipped with a newfound desire to unmask subcultures in Iraq and to write more effectively about marginal aspects of Iraqi identity inside and outside the country. These new diasporic writings showcase processes of ethnic and religious socialization in the Iraqi public sphere. The result is the deconstruction of mainstream Iraqi identity narratives and the instrumentalization of marginal identities in a nonviolent struggle against sectarian violence.

Nineteen amides (three of them unpublished) were synthesized and tested on Tuta absoluta Meyrick (Lepidoptera: Gelechiidae), an important pest of Solanaceae plants worldwide. Three of these compounds (14, 15 and 16) presented high acute toxicity toward the pest, with LD50s of 3.68 (CI95 = 2.83 − 4.47), 6.46 (CI95 = 5.85 − 7.20), and 13.52 μg/mg (CI95 = 11.06 − 15.95), respectively. Amide 14 presented the fastest action (LT50 = 1.2 minutes, CI95 = 1.03 − 1.37), followed by amide 16 (LT50 = 18 minutes, CI95 = 9.96 − 26.04), and amide 15 (LT50 = 3.7 hours, CI95 = 0.69 − 6.71). When applied at a sublethal dose, they did not affect weight gain and leaf consumption of the pest. Bioassays were also conducted using the ant Solenopsis saevissima (Hymenoptera: Formicidae) and wasp Polybia ignobilis (Hymenoptera: Vespidae) to assess the toxicity of the amides against T. absoluta predators. Amides 14, 15, and 16 were harmless to S. saevissima but presented high toxicity toward P. ignobilis. Amides 14, 15 and 16 are potential hit compounds for the development of insecticides for T. absoluta control. However, their use should be carried out following the principles of ecological selectivity to mitigate potential adverse effects on non-target organisms.
