CONSIDERING CORRUPTION, INFLATION, INFRASTRUCTURE AND TRADE TO EXPLAIN FOREIGN DIRECT INVESTMENT INFLOWS IN INDIA POST LIBERALIZATION
Authors: Rawat Garima
Published: September 2022

This paper considers corruption, inflation, infrastructure and trade to fit models to explain the inflow of foreign direct investment in India post liberalization. For this purpose, data from 1995 to 2019 is used considering the consistent availability of data for all the variables during this period. Timeseries regression is performed on standardized independent variables to control for multicollinearity. Two models are estimatedone having a doublelog form and one without converting the explanatory variables into logarithms.It is found that corruption is signifi cant at 5% significance level in both the models. Trade is significant at 10% significance level in the doublelog model while it is insignificant in the other model. Also, infrastructural variables i.e. energy and transportation are both insignificant in doublelog model while energy is significant and transport is insignificant in the other model. Consumer price index is used in place of inflation as it does not make sense to convert inflation rate into logarithm. Itis found to be insignificant in both the models.

Authors: Hussein Ramadhan Makame , Abdallah Zuhura Mohammed
Published: September 2022

The purpose of this research was to consider the influence of financial development on Tanzania’s tax revenue. To accomplish the intent of this study, the main specific objective was concerned about the effect of financial depth on tax revenue in Tanzania. Design/methodology: This study adopted quantitative approach and time series as research design, this study was conducted in Tanzania. Because of the accessibility of the data for the time of 1996-2020.The annual time series data for the Tanzanian financial development and tax revenue were obtained from secondary sources which include the World Development Indicators (WDI) and Tanzania Revenue Authority (TRA). The method was employed to make the estimation is the Dynamic Ordinary Least Square (DOLS). Findings: The financial characteristics were considered to be relevant tax revenue parameters based on the study’s aims. As a consequence, the examination of the estimation findings revealed that financial depth had a beneficial influence on increasing tax revenue in Tanzania. As a result, this paper recommends that the government place a greater emphasis on financial development, as it may be a vital instrument for increasing tax revenue for social welfare, poverty reduction, and macroeconomic stability. The Bank of Tanzania has maintained its monetary policy stance, which aims to increase lending to the private sector to encourage economic activity.
SOCIAL STIGMA ENGENDERS IDENTITY CRISIS OF TRANSGENDER: AN ANTHROPOLOGICAL ENQUIRY IN KANDHAMAL AND KHORDHA DISTRICTS OF ODISHA
Authors: Behera Kabiraj
Published: September 2022

Most of the people are not aware that the Transgender evolve due to their biological i.e. genetical factors and hormonal changes in the body. Transgender is a social and biological minority or as a concept, denoting the identity crisis and diversity of practices embodied between or beyond the categories of male and female. Transgender people have a gender identity or gender expression that differs from their sex assigned at birth, which is laden by the social stigma at the expression in grown up stage. This resulting tension of identity crisis adversely affects their personal growth and development by arresting themselves when the society as a most oppressed class, denied most of the human rights enjoyed by other humans. Most of the people now in India never realize that Transgender are also part of our society so they should be treated as equal as others in the society. India’s trans-women or transgender community has a long history as long as our civilization. Indian law recognizes trans-women as third gender but still they are struggling for their identity and acceptance by the society. The objectives of the study is to investigate the problem faces by transgender community due to stringent stigma of the binary concept of gender in this globalised society on the grounds of education, political pressure, social acceptance, employment and various other issues in Odisha

SAINT RABIDAS A SILENCE MOVEMENT: A CASE STUDY IN THE PERSPECTIVE OF BOTH LOCAL & GLOBAL ISSUES
Authors: Das Ramu Kumar
Published: September 2022

In the first time of Indian history by choosing Bhakti as a path of social protest saint Ravidas (Shri Guru Ravidass Ji was born in the year 1377 CE. i.e. Bikrami Samvat 1433 (widely accepted by most scholars & institutions) to father Shri Santokh Dass Ji and Mother Kalsa Devi Ji in Chamar caste, also known as Kutbandhla, one of the Scheduled Castes in Uttar Pradesh) did not only challenge the Brahmanical tradition caste-based system of social exclusion and untouchability practiced for ages in India. Bhakti is considered to be a privilege of the upper castes only In the Brahmanical social order but how & What made him distinct from his contemporaries was his low caste birth and the unique method of Bhakti that he deployed to challenge the oppressive structures of social dominations. Saint Ravidass became prominent because he unleashed a frontal attack on the long tradition of social oppression and untouchability in the Hindu society. Though born and brought up in Uttar Pradesh province of North India, Saint Ravidass came to command large followings among Dalits of the state of Punjab, which he believed to have visited during his journeys towards Rajasthan. Another factor that made him further popular in Punjab is the inclusion of his Bani (spiritual poetry) in Granth Sahib, sacred scriptures of Sikh faith. His stature grew still further when the Ad Dharm movement made him its patron Saint and a political rallying point. His fellow low caste followers, who consider him Guru, dedicated to him temples, memorial halls, educational institutions/chairs, cultural organizations, and hospitals. They founded several missions to accurately establish facts about his life and works and to disseminate his message of compassion, equality, and brotherhood in India and abroad (Hawley 1988:270).[1]

Tax Reforms, Investor Sentiment and Closed-End Fund Performance
Authors: Kumar Umesh Kumar
Published: September 2022

Purpose: Tax reforms have a significant impact on asset prices and shareholders’ wealth. The Tax Cuts and Jobs Act 2017 (TCJA) reduces the tax obligations for both households and businesses. This paper investigates the relationship between closed-end funds performance and investor sentiment induced by tax reforms.

Methodology: Two proxies of investor sentiment are used to measure the impact on closed-end fund (CEF) performance.

Results: The results reveal that overall, tax reforms have a positive effect on the closed-end fund valuations. Institutional investors’ sentiment takes a differential view from individual investors on CEF returns. Institutional investors’ sentiment does not show a relationship with fund returns. Medium size CEFs benefit more from tax reforms.

Unique Contribution to Theory, Policy and Practice: Despite mixed signals, the results suggest that TCJA has influenced the investors’ sentiment resulting in excessive optimism.

Published: September 2022

Sharenting, which means sharing the photos of children on social media by their parents, has started to be considered as an important and sensitive issue in the field of mental health in recent years. Photographs of children are often shared on social media, even before the child is born. Why mothers share photos of their children on social media and possible outcomes of sharenting is a matter of curiosity. There are various reasons that motivates parents to share photos of their children in social media. In this review study, besides the reasons that are frequently prominent in the literature, self-presentation theory and self-categorization theory, which is the theoretical side of the sharenting, sharenting from the in the perspective of children, legal process, and reasons for sharenting such as social/emotional and psychological support needs, seeing sharenting as a profession or earning money, digital arrogance and narcissistic traits, expressing emotions and thoughts also examined. Dark side of sharenting and suggestion to parents also discussed.

Published: September 2022

The shelf life of chicken sausage was assessed by incorporating 0.25% grape seed extract powder (GSEP) under superchilling storage and compared with chicken sausages incorporated with BHT and Control (without any antioxidant). The moisture, pH, peroxide value in GSEP treated samples increased significantly (P<0.05) throughout storage period TBARS, tyrosine and peroxide levels were marginally lower in GSEP treated chicken sausages than in control and BHT treated products. Over the course of the storage period, the protein, moisture and fat content of all the treated samples dropped gradually. In addition, GSEP treated chicken sausages had the lowest total plate count and psychrophilic count, followed by BHT. The study revealed that with the combined effect of superchilling and incorporation of 0.25% GSEP, the chicken sausage could be stored conveniently under aerobic conditions up to 35 days.
An unusual case of familial hyperlipidemia with statin induced rhabdomyolysis
Authors: Chakraborty Arpita , Weena Stanley  , Prabhu M.Mukhyaprana
Published: September 2022

Familial hypercholesterolemia (FH), also known as Type 2 familial dyslipidemia is a genetic disorder characterized by high levels of low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol in the blood. Elevated LDL cholesterol levels leads to ischemic heart disease in younger age group. FH is well known to cause deposition of cholesterol in muscle tendons causing tendon xanthomas which present as nodules over Achilles' tendon. Familial hypercholesterolemia is treated with high dose of statins to bring down the LDL cholesterol. We hereby report an unusual case of familial hypercholesterolemia with very high LDL levels (504 mg/dl) and tendon xanthomas who developed statin induced rhabdomyolysis due to consumption of high doses of statins. Patient had consumed both atorvastatin and rosuvastatin by mistake which led to rhabdomyolysis. A clinician must look out for this complication in any patient who is started on high dose of statins. Anticipation of this complication, patient education and periodic checking of muscle enzyme creatine phosphokinase (CPK) and serum creatinine in a patient on high dose statins helps in tackling this complication effectively.
Morphological processes and the making of residential forms: morphogenetic types in Turkish cities
Authors: Ünlü Tolga , Baş Yener
Published: September 2022

Changes to the characteristics of the urban landscape as a result of morphological processes are investigated. The effects of change to individual plots are considered. Particular attention is given to the residential district of Çamlibel in the city of Mersin, Turkey. Conzen’s conception of the burgage cycle provides a basis for recognition of a development cycle. This comprises initial, interim and ultimate phases that gave rise respectively to generation, degeneration and regeneration. Individuals, government, planning practice and legislation contributed to this cycle. Attention is drawn to the value of the concept of morphogenetic type in understanding plot pattern development and building repletion and replacement processes.
Florence: the geometry of urban form
Authors: Cataldi Giancarlo
Published: September 2022

Unlike Rome, a city that originated from the union of various villages, Florence is a typical city of Roman founding, which reached the peak of its development around the year 1300. At that time an ambitious plan for the city, aimed at housing within the city wall a large number of inhabitants was put into effect. It was rivalled at that time in Europe only by Paris. As in Rome, pre- existing structures heavily influenced the subsequent development of Florence: from a methodological perspective this would suggest that to ‘read’ the city, it is necessary to identify its ‘substratum permanent structures’.
Street networks and street- blocks in the city centre of Tripoli
Authors: Remali Adel Muhammad , Porta Sergio
Published: September 2022

The results of an analysis of the urban form of central Tripoli, Libya are presented. Three cases from different morphological periods are compared: the Old Town (pre- modern), the Italian Quarter (colonial) and the Garden Suburb (early- Modernist). Two sets of descriptive indices that relate to street network and street- block structure are applied to measure quantitatively the urban fabric of the three selected cases and explore their distinct characteristics as well as common traits. The Old Town combines good privacy at the very local level due to the large number of culs- de- sac in the service street network: there is high interconnectedness both within the area and between it and its immediate surroundings. This appears to be related to the Old Town’s high street density. Despite visible dissimilarities at the service street and plot level, the Old Town and the Italian Quarter share the same higher level structure, which the Garden Suburb does not. The Garden Suburb is a major departure from the morphological characteristics of the two earlier periods, and, arguably, their Ancient Roman precursors.
The substratum permanent structures of Roman Valencia
Authors: Cataldi Giancarlo , Llorens Vicente Mas
Published: September 2022

The territory and urban form of numerous cities in the region of Valencia were strongly conditioned by the imprint of Roman planning. Research on Roman planning in the Italian peninsula has allowed recognition of a number of types of plans, leading to the development of a general method of ‘reading’ similar structures derived from Roman planning. Application of this method to the territory of the region of Valencia is proposed. The two straight sections of Via Heraclea-Augusta, and the related agrarian tissues, provide a basis for reconstructing the original pattern, the structures of which influence all the subsequent expansions of the historical centre of Valencia.

The study of urban form in Cyprus
Authors: Charalambous Nadia , Cömert Nevter Zafer , Geddes Ilaria
Published: September 2022

The history of Cypriot cities, in particular the capital, Nicosia and the main historical port of Famagusta, has been the subject of a wide variety of publications. However, the study of their urban form is relatively recent and, until the establishment of architectural schools within Cypriot universities, it has been carried out within research establishments outside of Cyprus. Consequently, urban morphological research in Cyprus is highly influenced by international schools of thought that were prevalent where researchers carried out their studies – most of them within Britain. The application of different morphological approaches is now being continued within Cypriot universities. This paper discusses how different approaches to urban morphological research have been deployed in the context of urban form studies of Cypriot cities. It reviews existing morphological studies, which date back to the 1980s, and also presents key research in related disciplines, such as planning. There is a strong focus in Cyprus on two approaches: the historico-geographical and the configurational, although typological studies also exist. Certain themes, especially relating to physical divisions and social interactions, also feature quite prominently in the literature.
Why study urban morphology? The views of ISUF members
Authors: Barke Michael
Published: September 2022

This paper reports on a survey of ISUF members who were requested to provide succinct answers to the question ‘why is urban morphology an important object of study?’ A meaningful response rate was obtained and, using content analysis, seven major themes were identified. The views expressed on these are presented. It is concluded that there are several important and varied justifications for the study of urban morphology but that any unity of the field is derived from the nature of the subject matter itself rather than from the approach taken to its study.
The legacy of Roman and Greek urban planning in the cities of today
Authors: Gauthiez Bernard
Published: September 2022

The cities of the Roman Empire were characterized in particular by their chequerboard plans. Studying the plans of the same cities today, the Roman streets are only rarely recognizable. By systematic comparison of archaeological plans with those of today, and using satellite imagery as a tool, it is possible to map the degree of persistence of the Roman or Greek plan. The level of survival of the ancient plans is variable: it is high for example in northern Italy and around Naples, but generally low elsewhere, as in England and Egypt. But the process of loss and survival can be counter-intuitive.
Assemblage and aggregation: reading the ancient city and urban composition methods
Authors: Strappa Giuseppe
Published: September 2022

Some of the classical methods of analysis in urban morphology have been based on the reading of the historical city. Taking ancient Rome as an example, this paper examines how the reading of the ancient city also gave rise, from the Renaissance to the present, to different ways of designing modern urban form. In particular, the notion of aggregation, understood as a system of formative laws, gave rise to synthetic design methods tending to follow a continuing process. Today this statement seems far from obvious: indeed, one of the characteristics of contemporary culture seems to be the impossibility of a synthesis. The idea of assemblage, historically opposite and complementary to that of aggregation, is then examined. Intended as a gathering of autonomous and self-sufficient parts, this notion has had, and continues to have, great success among architects. It is suggested that the distinction between the two different methods of reading the ancient city, one based on morphological analysis and the other on perception, can contribute to understanding the current condition of urban design.

Applications of morphological regionalization in urban conservation: the case of Bulaq Abulela, Cairo
Authors: AlSadaty Aliaa
Published: September 2022

The absence of a reliable tool to support local authorities in the process of boundary delimitation of significant urban areas is one of the major problems facing urban heritage conservation. This paper explores and introduces potentials of applying the concept of urban regions, and methods of urban regionalization, as a new approach to better inform processes of delimitation of significant urban areas in Cairo, Egypt. This is an important step towards urban conservation in a city where strong pressures of urbanization and the eradication of traditional and historic urban fabric represent a major threat. By tracing the morphological transformation of the historic quarter of Bulaq Abulela, then applying the morphological regionalization process to a selected area of study, several important historical urban gains that are not included within the national protection boundaries, are revealed. This calls for revisiting current local protection boundaries of the historic quarter, as well as a revision of the adopted local processes of protection boundaries delimitation in general. It also calls for the application of morphological regionalization in processes of boundary delimitation for urban conservation areas.
‘Listening’ to urban form characteristics in transit-oriented developments (TODs)
Authors: Yildirim Yalcin , Allen Diane Jones
Published: September 2022

Understanding the relationship between urban form and sound is important for managing the adverse implications of noise. This study explores the nexus between urban form characteristics – namely buildings, plots, and streets – and sound, within the Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex. It focuses on transit-oriented developments (TODs), which are emerging urban forms adjacent to transit stations. Previous studies have examined various aspects of TODs, including the neighbourhood design and transportation services, but have not investigated the impact of urban form on sound within TODs. This paper probes that concept and provides recommendations for urban design practice related to sound and urban form characteristics.

The pressure of disease eradication can be enormous. Pakistan and Afghanistan are 2 endemic countries that are expected to give the final push to Wild Polio Virus out of planet. Polio Eradication is the largest program the world has known and has the largest frontline workforce that knocks at every door in the country. Pakistan had 15 months period where no human paralytic case of wild polio virus was reported, the program was thought to be headed in the right direction when suddenly, the outbreak happened in northwest part of Pakistan with multiple paralytic cases clustered in time and space. It was only after the detection of these cases that program’s telescope turned to this part of Pakistan that had longstanding issues which were not unknown. The outbreak has now spread to other parts of Pakistan. In this article, the author narrates her experience from the field that highlight the issues with roots that penetrate deep in the systems and hamper not only the progress of Polio Eradication but also, why overall health investments do not reach masses adequately. The author also presents the solution(s) that need to be implemented by overturning “one size fits all approach”. This entails local policy making through firsthand community interaction instead of policies made in fancy offices far away from these communities.

Design of Highly Selective Dual Band Band Stop Filter using Dual-Path Step Impedance Resonator
Authors: Rehman Abdul , Abdul Rahman Muhammad , Aziz Nosheen , Mushtaq Bilal , Jamshed Abbass Muhammad , Khalid Sohail , Zubair Jan Ahmed
Published: September 2022

In this article, the primary focus is on improving selectivity through the design of a dual-band bandstop filter (BSF), which is the abbreviation for bandstop filter. For the design of the filter, a dual-path Step Impedance Resonator, or DP-SIR, is utilised. A theoretical analysis of the suggested DP-SIR structure is presented in this body of work. At 3.76 and 11.04 GHz, the proposed architecture produces a dual-band BSF with fractional bandwidths of 50.5% and 16.36%, respectively. The comprehensive study demonstrates that the resonant frequencies can be controlled by adjusting the electrical length of the SIR. In addition, it has been found that dual-path SIR is involved in the production of finite frequency transmission poles, which results in an improvement in selectivity. This was discovered by accident. The results of the measurements and the simulations are fairly consistent with one another.
