Authors: - Mudasur Ahmad wani , - Tabasum Majid
Published: June 2024

Abstract
The education of Scheduled Tribes has become a vital component for the planned development of human resources in India. However, it has been observed that the literacy rates and education levels among Scheduled Tribes residing in Jammu and Kashmir are considerably lower than the national average. For instance, the Gujjars, who lead a nomadic lifestyle in District Budgam, migrate with their livestock to higher altitudes during seasonal journeys. This study utilizes both primary and secondary sources of data to understand the educational challenges faced by these communities.
Unfortunately, census data from 2011 reveals that only 25.5% of Scheduled Tribe women in Jammu & Kashmir were literate compared to 34.8% nationally. This disparity can be attributed to several factors such as unawareness, conservative societal norms, traditional lifestyles, poverty, and lack of basic infrastructural facilities that pose significant obstacles to achieving educational attainment. Moreover, the conservative nature of society and stereotypes still prevalent in these sections further exacerbate the issue.
To address this problem effectively, it is imperative that government bodies alongside not-for-profit organizations make concerted efforts to expedite progress towards improving education amongst Scheduled Tribes residing in Jammu and Kashmir. This paper aims to examine some fundamental issues faced by women belonging to the Gujjar community on a daily basis in District Budgam within the Union territory of Jammu & Kashmir; how can these deprived sections be brought up-to-speed with progress?
In conclusion, it is high time that measures are taken to bridge this gap and ensure equal opportunities for all individuals irrespective of their social background or cultural practices. The government must work towards providing better access to quality education along with adequate infrastructure facilities for students belonging to Scheduled Tribes residing in Jammu and Kashmir so that they can break free from age-old traditions and contribute towards building a better future for themselves and their communities as well as for our country as a whole.

Authors: - SALEEM FARHAN JATHOOM
Published: June 2024

This article explores the nature of the fundamental variables that have significantly influenced Iranian foreign policy, focusing on its stance toward Iraq in the post-2003 era. Where the demise of the Baathist regime in Iraq presented Iran with an unprecedented and transformative opportunity to recalibrate its relations with a nation that had traditionally been perceived as one of its most formidable adversaries. Iran's ascension and its role as the primary foreign power broker in Iraq materialized through strategic leveraging of its extensive border with Iraq, coupled with its enduring relationships with influential Iraqi political figures, political factions, and various militant groups. This ascent was achieved by harnessing the dimensions of soft power, particularly in domains such as economics, religion, and the dissemination of information. Drawing from neo-realism, it suggests that nations should strengthen their economies, build domestic military capabilities, forge beneficial alliances, and pursue opposing actions on the global stage. According to this theory, Iran aimed to extend its influence in Iraq by supporting and empowering political and armed groups. Leveraging its extensive border and established relationships with Iraqi figures, parties, and armed groups, Iran has become the foremost foreign facilitator in Iraq. Its soft power, encompassing economics, religion, and information, played a crucial role in this expansion. Furthermore, Iran's involvement in Iraq was closely tied to its broader aspirations for a more prominent position in the Gulf region, aligning with its political, economic, military capabilities, and geopolitical significance.

Decentralization and Development: The Missing Link
Authors: - Keneilhounuo Usou , - Tiatula Ozukum
Published: June 2024

Decentralization is a basic form of democratic government that transfer power, resources and empowers the local people as the decision makers for the local governing system. Since the inception in the Indian Constitution, decentralization was predicated to strengthen local political organizations, increase their democratic nature, and establish institutions that would cater to the interests and needs of the people. It envisages increasing local government institutions’ accountability and performance which would enhance development and transparency of governance at the grass root level. There are various theoretical benefits associated with decentralization, and already three decades have passed since the introduction of the 73rd and 74th Amendment Act in 1992. However, in many instances, realizing these idealistic decentralization goals has proven to be extremely difficult. The study therefore seeks to examine if decentralization is improving service delivery at the local level as envisioned. Although, efforts were made to facilitate effective and accountable local governance, various factors have hindered decentralization to fully achieve its objectives. The study attempts to identify the ‘missing link’ which has hampered the efficacy of decentralized government in India.

Published: June 2024

El trabajo estudia las observaciones sobre la lengua portuguesa en un corpus de gramáticas del castellano y de tratados apologéticos sobre esta lengua publicados en los siglos XVI y XVII, para lo cual se han determinado parámetros de análisis. Los resultados, por lo que se refiere a la gramaticografía del castellano, revelan la poca importancia dada al portugués, como lengua de referencia para la descripción del castellano, así como una consideración de esta lengua como subalterna del castellano. Por lo que se refiere a los tratados apologéticos, se detectan también escasas alusiones al portugués. En las que se menciona esta lengua, se identifican dos enfoques: i) la identificación del portugués como dialecto del castellano; ii) la defensa que de estas constituyen lenguas diferentes.

Ideologías lingüísticas en los albores de la Renaixença: el caso de Pau Estorch (1805-1870)
Authors: Bellés Eloi
Published: June 2024

Este artículo analiza la obra poética y lingüística de Pau Estorch y Siqués (Olot 1805 – Barcelona 1870) desde el punto de la ideología lingüística. En concreto, analiza como en Estorch son presentes tanto ideologías propias del antiguo régimen y herederas del tradicionalismo de la edad moderna como ideologías que acercan el personaje a los postulados ideológicos de la Renaixença. El hecho más destacado de su obra poética y lingüística es la maniobra retórica que esconde una legitimación del idioma castellano en Cataluña como lengua apta para algunos usos lingüísticos.

Evaluating the Potential of Modified Mango Leaves as a Biosorbent for the Removal of Mercury (II) Ion and Congo Red from Wastewater
Authors: Oluwaseun Adekoya Adelaja  , Babafemi Raphael Babaniyi
Published: July 2024

The discharge of harmful metallic elements from industrial byproducts has resulted in notable environmental and public health risks. The aim of this study was to investigate the effectiveness of mango leaves as a cost-effective adsorbent in eliminating Hg (II) ions from industrial effluents. Experimental procedures were carried out under controlled conditions at ambient temperature to evaluate the influence of pH, contact duration, initial metal levels, adsorbent quantity, and temperature on the adsorption mechanism. The most favorable pH for optimal Hg (II) ions adsorption was identified at pH 7. The adsorption process displayed swift kinetics in the initial 30 minutes of contact, leading to a removal rate exceeding 90%, with equilibrium achieved after 70 minutes of stirring. Analysis of kinetics revealed a significant correlation coefficient for a pseudo-second-order kinetic equation. The absorption of Hg (II) ions escalated with increased stirring intensity and decreased adsorbent amount. The interaction between Hg (II) ions, Congo red, and mango leaves was analyzed employing Langmuir, Freundlich, and BET isotherm models. The equilibrium data was best fitted by the Langmuir model, presenting a correlation coefficient of 0.98 and a maximum adsorption capacity of 28.40 mg/g. These results underscore the potential of mango leaves as an affordable bio adsorbent for addressing heavy metal pollution in wastewater.
