Indirect Effect of Terrorism on Economic Growth
Authors: Chenini Tarek , Hamida Arafet , Lassoued Tahar
Published: May 2024

Throughout the world, terrorism has become a major challenge to socio-economic development. Although there are studies that have examined the direct impact of terrorism on economic growth, this study complements the existing literature by investigating the moderating effect of terrorism on economic growth by introducing variables as moderations to analyze the indirect effect of terrorism on economic growth. To do this, a simultaneous equation model was applied to panel data for a sample of 31 countries (18 developing and 13 developed). The results of this study show the following: The indirect effect of FDI and trade openness on economic growth is significantly positive in the case of the entire sample; The moderating effect of unemployment, investment and public spending significantly and negatively affects economic growth in the case of the entire sample; For the case of developed countries, we note that the indirect effects of unemployment and public spending are not significant; In other words, the indirect impacts of trade opening, investment and FDI are significantly positive on economic growth in the case of developed countries, For the case of developing countries, the indirect effects of trade opening, public spending as well as public investment on economic growth are significantly negative as is the indirect effect of unemployment. It can be concluded that the direct or indirect effect of terrorism on economic growth is not remarkable in developed countries.

CONCEPTUAL SEMANTICS OF RED COLOR WORDS
Authors: Balabekov A.
Published: May 2024

The article provides a conceptual and semantic analysis of the name of the red color. The purpose of the article is to identify the conceptual meaning of red color in Kazakh culture. To achieve this goal, the article was analyzed by lexicographic, conceptual methods. It is established that the red color, in addition to coloring, is the main symbol of the manifestation of metaphysical concepts, historical events, is in poetic, aesthetic cognition an attribute of rejuvenation, difficulty, hot temper, etc. It is proved that words combined with «red» are carefully selected and have a wide range of compatibility. Since red is one of the most saturated colors, it is not characterized by slowness, weakness, calmness, but rather is actively used in depicting the qualities of dexterity, strength, equanimity, irritability, sharpness. Red color is active in the manifestation of the concepts of danger, excitement, passion, strength, aggression, and sometimes luck. This means that it has a wide application in the transmission of not only emotional, but also physiological reactions. Since red is a saturated color, its ability to surprise the environment is reflected in the language in the same way. This was determined as a result of a conceptual analysis of the word «red». The lexical, terminological, poetic, ethno-cultural periphery of the word «red» is defined. Judgments related to the concept of «red» in universal and Kazakh cognition were also compared.

Published: May 2024

On the basis of comparative historical methods, the degree of proximity and common features of related Turkic languages are determined. The phonetic and phonological structures of the Kazakh and related Turkic languages belonging to the Kipchak group are studied in a diachronic aspect. The universal phonological phenomena of narrow vowel phonemes based on the laws of synharmonism and the agglutinative structure of the Turkic languages are described on the material of the Kazakh, Karakalpak, Tatar, Bashkir, Nogai, Karachay-Balkar languages of the Kipchak group.

The aim of the study is to identify common and distinctive features of the phonetic and phonological structures of the Kazakh and related (Kipchak) Turkic languages through comparative historical methods. The system of vocalism of related Turkic languages is compared with each other, their similarities and differences are revealed, and as a result, the stages of the historical development of phonetic systems are established, the ways of the emergence and formation of phonemes are described. As a result of comparing the vocalism of the narrow (y, i, u, ü) vowels of the Turkic languages of the Kipchak group, common and distinctive features in the phonological systems of related languages are determined. The results obtained in the course of the study are of great theoretical and practical importance. The study of the languages of the Kipchak group, which make up a large branch of modern Turkic languages and languages of written monuments of the ancient Turkic era from the point of view of diachronic phonology, opens up great prospects in the study of general patterns in other areas of linguistics.
THE SPELLING RULES OF THE KAZAKH LANGUAGE IN 1923 AND ITS CONNECTION WITH THE SPELLING OF BAITURSYNULY
Authors: Maralbek E.
Published: May 2024

Just as every language has its history, it also has a history of symbolic meaning – letters and spelling rules. The writing culture of a particular country, people, or nation with a national language covers several epochs and historicalperiods. It is known that the Kazakh national script has been formed since 1912 in connection with the name of Akhmet Baitursynuly and is still being updated, improved, and developed every year. Therefore, each stage of the development of the spelling rules of the Kazakh language is very important both for linguistics and for the future of Kazakh writing. The article analyzes the history and scientific significance of the "New Spelling Rule of the Kazakh language", consisting of 13 articles describing the beginning of the "national stage" of Akhmet Baitursynuly's letter reform, published by the Council of Education of the Academic Center at the Educational Commissariat of the Kazakh Autonomous Soviet Socialist Republic (KazASSR) in 1923. In particular, there are analysed such topical issues as the scientific and social prerequisites that led to the adoption of this provision, its connection with the Baytursynuly’s spelling in 1912, the scientific basis and meaning of each article, achievements and disadvantages, prerequisites for the adoption of this spelling rule by the Education Commission under the People's Commissariat of Education of the Turkestan Autonomy, the reasons for the reduction of some paragraphs, conclusions of the Kazakh intelligentsia about this situation.
The "Illegal Immigrant" Identity and its Fragments- From "Enemy Foreigner" to "Bangladeshi Illegal Immigrant" in (Post) Colonial India
Authors: Guha Archit
Published: May 2024

This article focuses on the fragmented “illegal immigrant” identity in (post)colonial India. Employing a critical postcolonial lens, it provides a genealogical investigation of the legality surrounding the illegal immigrant, which reveals a colonial legislation that served British wartime interests—the Foreigners Act (1946). The application of the legislation in contemporary times bolsters the (Hindu) nationalist rhetoric that views the Bengali Muslim as the “Bangladeshi illegal immigrant.” The production of the Bangladeshi illegal immigrant as a governmental category, however, has a longer history that is tied to the question of citizenship and mass migratory flows before and after Partition (1947) as well as to the birth of Bangladesh (1971). The Illegal Migrants (Determination by Tribunal) Act, 1983 was passed in Assam, but later struck down by the Supreme Court in 2005; both the promulgation and ultimate revocation point towards the ethno-religious bias inherent in the popular and politico-legal responses to immigrants, as well as the fact that Assam has become the locus for setting the agenda on migration. Assam has suffered the consequences of a politicization of immigration coupled with the poor political management of migratory populations, but the discourse on illegal immigration travels far and wide across the nation, uncovering the limits of the nation-state itself.

Radial hemimelia is a congenital longitudinal defect of formation of the radial axis characterized by the partial or total absence of the radius. We report a rare case of bilateral total radial hemimelia diagnosed at Sominé Dolo hospital’s radiology department of  Mopti in order to clarify imaging’s contribution. He was sent to us for x-rays of the upper limbs for malformation assessment. The physical examination had found a permanent flexion of the forearms and a radial deviation of both hands giving bird's wing appearance. Radiographic exploration of the upper limbs showed a total and bilateral absence of the radius. Total radial hemimelia is a rare malformation of the upper limb. Medical imaging is essential in the diagnosis of this congenital anomaly.

A pseudoaneurysm or false aneurysm is a small pocket of blood communicating with an artery or a heart cavity and secondary to the rupture of the wall of the latter. The blood is then contained by the adjacent structures. It is distinguished from the aneurysm, the latter retaining the integrity of its wall. We report two cases of false aneurysms of different topography diagnosed in the radiology department of the AUGUST 20 hospital in CASABLANCA in order to describe the role of imaging. They were two patients, one aged 24, stabbed in the left thigh and the other 21, traumatized by a glass bottle in the left temporal area. They presented with a painful, non-pulsatile mass in the left thigh for the first case and pulsatile for the second.

Darier and Ferrand dermato-fibrosarcoma (DFS) is a soft tissue sarcoma with a high potential for local recurrence, despite often large surgical excisions. It is a tumor of low to intermediate malignancy. It is rare and represents 0.01% of all malignant tumors and 2 to 6% of soft tissue sarcomas.Although not specific, imaging plays a role in evaluating the local extent of the tumor and proves to be an important step in surgical planning for larger tumors. The diagnosis is made by histology using a needle or incisional biopsy. In doubtful cases, immunohistochemistry can distinguish DFS from other spindle cell tumors.We report the case of a 48-year-old patient in whom radiological data supplemented by histological and immunohistochemical analysis made it possible to make the diagnosis of DFS.He benefited from a wide excision followed by a skin graft. Follow-up at 5 years did not reveal any local recurrence or metastasis.
RÉSUMÉ 
Le dermato-fibrosarcome de Darier et Ferrand (DFS) est un sarcome des tissus mou à fort potentiel de récidive locale, malgré des exérèses chirurgicales souvent larges. C’est une tumeur de malignité faible à intermédiaire. Elle est rare et représente 0,01% de toutes les tumeurs malignes et 2 à 6% des sarcomes des tissus mous. 
Bien que non spécifique, l’imagerie joue un rôle dans l’évaluation de l'étendue locale de la tumeur et se révèle être une étape importante dans la planification opératoire des tumeurs les plus volumineuses. Le diagnostic est apporté par l’histologie grâce à une biopsie à l’aiguille ou incisionnelle. Dans les cas douteux, l'immunohistochimie permet de distinguer le DFS des autres tumeurs à cellules fusiformes.
Nous rapportons le cas d’un patient de 48 ans chez qui, les données radiologiques complétées par l’analyse histologique et immuno-histochimique ont permis de poser le diagnostic du DFS. Il a bénéficié d’une exérèse large suivie d’une greffe de peau. Le suivi à 5 ans n’a pas révélé de récidive locale ni de métastase.
Determinants of Community Participation in Sustainable Management of Rural Water Supply System: Evidence from District Lahore, Pakistan
Authors: Yasmin Rizwana , Afzal Afzaal , Ullah Saif , Javed Muqaddas
Published: May 2024

Sustainable functionality of rural water supply systems is one of the most imperative aspects to ensure the provision of safe drinking water for communities. In recent decades, a number of projects have been initiated by national and international organizations to meet the desired need for safe drinking water and sanitation, but a large proportion of these development projects fail shortly after their execution. The majority of water supply projects fail in rural communities within three years after development due to the least level of community participation regarding decision-making, site identification, planning, execution, monitoring, evaluation and management process and, above all, unawareness, lack of basic technical and management skills. This study presents the most influencing determinants of community participation that are compulsory for the sustainable functionality of rural water supply systems. This study was conducted in the district of Lahore, Pakistan and simple random sampling methods and techniques were applied to draw the sample from the population. A semi-structured questionnaire was used as a tool for data collection. The result of the study indicated that a significant association existed among community participation in planning, execution, operation, maintenance & evaluation processes and sustainability functionality of rural water supply systems.
Implementation of the triple bottom line concept to improve sustainable marketing performance
Authors: Purnama Yunus Indra
Published: May 2024

This study intends to observe the implementation of triple botton line in improving sustainable marketing performance. Sustainable marketing is a concept that combines socially and environmentally responsible marketing practices to achieve long-term sustainable goals. With a Triple Bottom Line (TBL)-based approach, it is a business concept that measures company performance not only based on finances, but also takes into account the social and environmental impacts of its business activities. TBL describes three main dimensions that companies must consider, namely economic or financial, social responsibility, and environmental sustainability. The three dimensions are interrelated and must be integrated to achieve optimal balance. In the context of sustainable marketing performance, the Triple Bottom Line provides a foundation for analyzing the impact of a company's marketing activities thoroughly. The application of Triple Bottom Line in sustainable marketing performance not only looks at financial gain, but also considers good relationships with customers, positive contributions to society, and efforts to maintain environmental sustainability. This creates long-term value for the company and reflects a commitment to the overall development of the company. Sustainable marketing can contribute to a company's sustainability not only through everyday practices that minimize environmental impact, but also by implementing new policies and strategies to support the broader concept of corporate sustainability as a fundamental part of the entity's economy. Research on the implementation of triple botton line and sustainable marketing performance is carried out with a qualitative approach using literature review methods including research  results then analyzing them carefully and in depth in order to get results that are in accordance with the expected goals

The strength distribution of the E1 transitions is calculated within the random phase approximation model based on the Skyrme nuclear energy density functional. A comparison with the experimental data has allowed us to constrain the value of the nuclear symmetry energy J = 30–37 MeV.
A kelet-közép-európai nyelvi térség
Authors: Nádor Orsolya
Published: May 2024

A kötet arra keresi a választ, hogy a történeti, politikai mellett nyelvi térségként is értelmezhető-e Kelet-Közép-Európa. A folyamatok megértésének egyik kulcsa az Ausbau és az Abstand nyelvek fogalma, mivel a régió hivatalossá vált nyelvei többségükben vagy az északi, vagy a déli szláv dialektuskontinuumba tartoznak. Ezekhez társul két Abstand nyelv is, a magyar és a román. A történelmi és politikatörténeti kitekintés rávilágít arra, hogy a térségben élő népek kapcsolatait milyen közös, vagy éppen ellentétes érdekek határozták meg. Mivel a saját és a többiek nyelvéhez való viszonyulás az önazonosság alappillére, ráadásul a régió ma államalkotó nemzetei egymáshoz hasonló nyelvtervezési utat jártak be, és a nemzeti nyelv szerepét is hasonló módon értelmezik, arra a következtetésre juthatunk, hogy a nyelvtervezés nemcsak egy vizsgálati szempont, hanem kulcsszerepet játszik a régió múltjának és jelenének a megértésében is. A kimutatható hasonlóságok, sőt azonosságok arra engednek következtetni, hogy Kelet-Közép-Európa, ahol a nyelvhez való központi kérdés több évszázada, nyelvi térségként is értelmezhető.

Wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) yield in Indo-Gangetic plain of eastern India is much less than its actual potential. Apart from several yield deterministic factors, late sowing of wheat is one of the major reasons for sub-optimal wheat yield. The persistent yield gap poses a threat to future food security of this region with a vast population that is growing rapidly. In the present research, an attempt was made to quantify and classify the yield losses in wheat due to late sowing which is prevalent in this part of India. On-farm participatory agronomic trial was conducted at 1073 plots in 3 districts of eastern India, 2 from Uttar Pradesh and 1 from the state of Bihar. The trial was conducted during four consecutive winter season from 2016–17 to 2019–20. Following a split-plot design, main plots were categorized based on wheat sowing time and sub-plots were classified depending on the wheat varietal class. A sample survey of randomly selected 629 wheat farmers was conducted in 2017–18 wheat season in these 3 districts. Results from the agronomic trial showed that wheat yield decreased by 58 kg/ha for every one-day delay in sowing. Moreover, the yield of long-duration improved wheat variety (HD-2967) was statistically same (P=0.479) compared to the most preferred short-duration variety (PBW-373) in a very late-sown scenario (late December). Farmers’ survey data reconfirmed that the wheat yield has a very strong negative correlation with the sowing dates, but the yield decline was statistically insignificant until mid-November. Wheat yield in this part of India can be adequately boosted if sowing time of wheat advances and adoption of long-duration improved wheat varieties improves.

To make Indian agriculture remunerative, and enhance farmers’ income, the Government of India initiated a mission for doubling the farmers’ income (DFI) by 2022. For DFI under a conventional cropping system, the agriculture sector needs to grow @15% per annum. Therefore, there is a need for reorienting the conventional cropping system with a more productive alternative integrated farming system, combining on and off-farm occupations with high technological support. With this background, the present study was carried out in a cluster of villages where interventions through a research institution (Farmer FIRST project) were made. Such interventions were undertaken in a cluster of 7 villages involving 500 farm families (2016–19). The technological gaps were identified through benchmark surveys using participatory rural appraisal (PRA) and extensive farmers' group discussions. During this, farmers’ skills and managerial capabilities were explored, and 16 interventions of various farming modules and sub-modules attributed to higher income were identified and implemented. The farmers were continuously provided technological and partial input support in terms of capacity building and seeds, fertilisers and similar others. The results indicated that mushroom production had high potential for supplementing farm income (117% per farm family). The income from food grains increased by 81% whereas, income from seasonal and off-season vegetable crops increased by more than double. Dairy farming exhibited 52.38% increase in income. In absolute terms, the dairy had maximum contribution in increasing income by ₹24,014 followed by food grains (₹13,251). The intervention modules increased the average per-farm family income by ₹46,979, which was highly significant (P<0.01%). The income of 40% of the farm families increased by more than double, while the income of 1% of the farmers increased by >75% in just 2 years. Overall, when four modules and sub-modules of the model were put together, the total farm income per family increased by 67% from ₹70,290 (2016–17) to ₹1,17,269 (2018–19).

Agro-processing within the production catchment has the potential to enhance farmers’ income, reducing post- harvest losses, and generating rural employment in India. A study was carried out during 2019–22 to identify the constraints impacting performance of agro-processing units being run by the unorganized sector in Trans-Gangetic Plains. A total of 60 current and 60 potential agro-processing farmers were undertaken using simple random technique to carry out the study. A combination of quantitative and qualitative approaches were used in collecting data. Data were analyzed using Friedman's, Nemenyi's and Kruskal-Wallis's tests. Study highlighted the issues that current agro- processors encounter, various constraits including high interest rates, inadequate storage, few marketing avenues, slow information access, and expensive equipment maintenance. Further, the challenges faced by aspiring agro-processors were information deficits, marketing and high operating expenses. The insights suggest measures to promote the adoption of post-harvest technologies among stakeholders.

Increasing pulse production is one of the national priorities for food and nutritional security of India. In this context, incremental changes in pulse production can play a pivotal role. During 2003–2022, for example, the area under lentil (Lens culinaris L.) registered a decline (2.08%), however; productivity improvement (41.26%) led to the enhancement in its production (by 37%) in the country. This study portrays the temporal trend and patterns of lentil production growth during the period 2003–2022. A substantial growth in imports of lentil from 63.97 thousand tonnes in Triennium estimate (TE) 2003 to 814.20 thousand tonnes in TE 2022 was registered in India. Moreover, the share of lentil imports to total lentil production increased from 6.94% in TE 2002 to 63.24% in TE 2022. Lentil imports exhibited a high annual growth rate (15.83%) and high instability during the overall study period (2003–2022), which was higher than the annual growth rate of imports of overall pulses during the same period. Approximately 0.65 million tonnes of lentils were imported in the year 2022, to meet domestic consumption demands. Canada and Australia accounted for 61% and 36% of the total lentil imports to India in year 2022, while Bangladesh (49.61%) followed by UAE (21.74%) and Nepal (18.33%) were the major export destinations of the total lentil export (2022). The gap between production and consumption, coupled with the changing trade regulations and consumer preferences, contributed to the observed instability in lentil trade in India over the past two decades. Concerted efforts in intensifying the technology transfer, capacity building and convergence of resources among the stakeholders can impact the productivity of lentils, thereby developing strategies for optimizing its import and export dynamics.

The food consumption pattern of an individual reflects their food choices rather than nutrient intake in their diet. These patterns are strongly related to the health outcomes of the individuals. Home-cooked traditional food items are rapidly replaced by packed food items. As children being the future of any nation, thus their health is very important Therefore, improving the nutrition of these children would help to reduce health risks by promoting healthy food consumption. Present study was carried out during 2021–23 to understand the differential consumption pattern of traditional and packed food items among children in rural areas of Madhya Pradesh and Chhattisgarh. The data pertaining to study were collected using food frequency questionnaire with 2–5 years and 6–14 years old children. The key results indicated that packed food item consumption was dominant among 2–5-year-old children in their diets in NSV (Nutri-SMART villages), and non-NSV as explained maximum variation. However, among 6–14 years old children traditional and packed food items consumption was dominant in NSV, while packed food items were dominant in non-NSV as explained by maximum variation. There is a need to design local food resources based strategies to make aware the children about healthy food items and encourage them to consume by targeting access and availability of such foods.

Authors: Hurdle Clay , Greenhaw Laura , Biderman Rachel
Published: May 2024

Autonomy has been identified as an essential attribute of learner-centered teaching. Allowing learners some choice regarding their learning can positively impact motivation and performance. Some concepts can be illustrated more clearly through film, including agricultural leadership concepts such as the stages of small group development. In this study, we examined differences between learners given autonomy to choose a film for an analysis essay assignment and learners not given a choice. Learners in two sections of an agricultural leadership course focusing on teams and group development were taught the stages of group development. Learners analyzed the development of a team in film. Additionally, learners responded to questions regarding their satisfaction with and perceptions of the assignment. Findings revealed that learners in both sections perceived the assignment as enjoyable. Learners in both groups indicated a preference for their respective treatment in future similar assignments. Both groups performed well on the assignment. Recommendations include replicating this study with an additional measure of motivation, a standardized measure for student satisfaction with learning, and a larger sample size. Given that both groups of learners indicated satisfaction with learning, we recommend instructors consider incorporating films or other media when possible and appropriate.
