Códigos UNESCO para el Diseño Gráfico
Authors: Escudero Fernández Sofía
Published: September 2022

La presente investigación tiene como objetivo articular una estructura taxonómica que facilite la investigación en el campo del diseño gráfico. En la actualidad no se dispone de un área de conocimiento en España definida como diseño o diseño gráfico que facilite su visibilidad y lo categorice como área. 
Este artículo pretende hacer una propuesta de valor a los estudios de diseño gráfico y todas las subdisciplinas asociadas. Para ello se ha realizado una investigación de los estudios de grado que, de manera puntual o amplia, incorporan asignaturas de diseño. Todo ello, con el fin de concretar la rama de conocimiento más afín al diseño gráfico y determinar su Campo de conocimiento en los Códigos UNESCO.
Hoy en día, la investigación en diseño queda desdibujada por no disponer de códigos UNESCO que unifiquen los estudios asociados, de manera directa o indirecta, a las materias de los campos de estudio. La terminología actual empleada por los expertos, profesionales e investigadores demuestra que el uso del término diseño gráfico (Tena Parera, 2021) ha sido empleado con asiduidad en un gran número de investigaciones en los últimos ocho años. Todo ello hace que debamos actualizar la importancia de disponer de un área de conocimiento y unos Códigos UNESCO que pongan en valor el diseño gráfico que permitan clasificar y organizar una disciplina que aglutine dicho campo de estudio para focalizar las investigaciones del sector gráfico de manera más eficiente.
On word order and Case in Old Italian past participle constructions
Authors: Egerland Verner
Published: September 2022

While in Modern Italian, V1 is mandatory in absolute constructions, no such restriction is operative in Old Italian. On the surface, such a fact could be interpreted as a sign of residual V-to-Comp movement in Modern Italian. However, it is not: In Old Italian, participles targeted a position lower than Comp and, hence, the V1 pattern of Modern Italian is an innovation rather than a residue from the earlier stage. The difference between the two grammars lies in the interaction of independent properties of Old Italian and Modern Italian: First, in Old Italian, two arguments can be case licensed because of the presence of a Tense Phrase in the participle clause. In Modern Italian, where no Tense Phrase is projected, nominative can only be licensed by focus as an instance of default case assignment. Second, a general change relating to information structure has as its consequence that a focused argument is realized post-verbally in Modern Italian, which explains the obligatory V1 pattern.

GEO-ECONOMIC DIMENSION OF THE CHINA PAKISTAN ECONOMIC CORRIDOR ITS REGIONAL IMPLICATIONS
Authors: Rasool Sajad
Published: September 2022

In a zero-sum environment, the power and role of a state is considerably impacted by its location that helps to settle social, economic, and political affairs of the world. Pakistan`s location is very important. On one side, it shares its boundaries with world two big economies i.e., China and India. On the other side, it has access to world’s oil and gas enriched countries (Iran and Central Asian Republics). CPEC is a multibillion project, that is a step towards close relations between China and Pakistan and to bring together South and East Asian Nations to cooperate and collaborate in terms of trade, currency, culture exchange, energy, and infrastructure. Pakistan is sandwiched between two blocs of states. One bloc possesses vast energy resources whereas the other has the need of energies for their growing economies. Hence, CPEC has the potential to connect China, Pakistan, India, Iran, Afghanistan, and Central Asian Republics and further Russia and Europe. In such scenario, the role of Gwadar port is very significant. It is this significance that gives CPEC a buckling status that buckles all the Belt and Road Corridors. Therefore, the project is in turn a reshaping of Super Pangaea in partial economically, politically, and socially. The research attempts to explore the geo-strategic importance of CPEC.

Published: September 2022

The Afghanistan takeover by the Taliban after the hasty and irresponsible US withdrawal starts a new debate among experts over the future of the country under hardcore Taliban. China a next door neighbor of Afghanistan, arguably, views the evolving situation of the country heedfully. The hasty withdrawal of the US for many experts is a part of the great power competition between the US and China where the former calculatedly desires to bring a civil war making Afghanistan an epicenter of terrorism and extremism that invariably would pose a grave threat to the latter’s Belt and Road Imitative (BRI). China, on the other hand, appears to be wary of the East Turkestan Islamic Movement (ETIM). Beijing hopes that the Taliban would crack down on the ETIM. Afghanistan’s conundrum has certainly been creating innumerable challenges for Beijing but China is well known for handling the hard times. As the saying goes that “every challenge creates an equal opportunity”, the emerging challenges of Afghanistan for China also create abundant opportunities. Moreover, the current situation in Afghanistan is also indicating more alliances in the region either new ones or strengthening the old ones. The Taliban want to be a part of China led economic web in the region to resist ongoing economic crisis where the west once again showing its back. This paper, thus, will analyze the threats emanating from Afghanistan to China and will also shed lights on China’s role of preserving its core interest and rebuilding of war-torn Afghanistan.

Authors: Siddiqi Nure Alam , Muyeed Abdul
Published: September 2022

The Government of Bangladesh is establishing community clinics to provide essential healthcare services on the doorstep of the citizens of the country. In Bangladesh, women are the most vulnerable group in case of morbidity and mortality, especially in rural areas. They are unaware and underutilize the health care services provided by community clinics. The objective of the present study was to investigate the association of socio-economic and demographic variables with awareness of community clinics and also with the usage of services for health care from these clinics among the ever-wedded women of childbearing age. Bangladesh Demographic and Health Survey (BDHS), 2017-18 data were used in this research study. The study findings reveal that 56% of women who were ever-married were aware of healthcare services provided by community clinics situated in their residential area and 15.6% of women utilized such community clinic services in the 90 days preceding the survey. In this study, by applying bivariate chi-squared (χ2) test, some demographic, social, and economic variables are identified closely associated with consciousness about community clinics and usage of healthcare services from such clinics among women who were aged 15-49 and ever-married. The variables are marital status, educational qualification, working status, type of place of residence, administrative division, the economic condition of the household, ownership of mobile, number of members in the family, and husband’s educational qualification. The government and policymakers should take necessary initiatives to increase the public awareness and utilization of community clinic services. Community clinics should introduce special healthcare facilities for specific groups such as pregnant women or adolescents to increase the utilization of community clinic services.

Published: September 2022

Milk is an excellent source of dietary antioxidants, however, the antioxidants activity of different species of milk varies significantly. Sheep milkâ€™s compositional and functional properties are one of the untapped areas for Indian researchers. This present study evaluated and compared the antioxidant potential of Patanwadi breed sheep milk over cow milk. The protein, fat, and lactose content of Patanwadi breed sheep milk was significantly higher than cowâ€™s milk. Different anti-oxidant assays confirmed that the antioxidant activity of sheep milk was superior to cow milk. The present study supports that Patanwadi breed sheep could be a potential source of dietary antioxidants. Therefore, more scientific studies are required to develop sheep milk functional dairy products, and thereof optimized process parameters for sheep milk dairy products in Indian conditions.

Published: September 2022

Goat farming is a suitable option for revenue generation for small-scale farmers and tribal people as it requires meager investment. Goats can efficiently survive and sustain on sparse vegetation and extreme climatic conditions. Hence, a study was undertaken in the tribaldominated Banswara district of Rajasthan state to identify problems perceived by youths in goat rearing. A total of 73 tribal youth responded to the study. RBQ technique was employed to identify the problems in goat farming. Predators attack was identified as a major problem (87.67%), followed by lack of funding and unavailability of improved goat breeds (87.24%). So, this study recommended that to prevent goats from predators, proper housing is necessary. So, KVK should maintain follow-ups with participants and provide financial help to initiate venture after skill development. Therefore, youthsâ€™ migration from rural to urban area could be optimized intribal areas. In addition to the ARYA project, the integration of various government schemes would benefit scaling up this profitable venture for tribal youths.

Schizothorax esocinus (Churru snow trout) Heckel, 1838 is a key freshwater species in the valley of Kashmir. The present study aimed to evaluate the genetic variability in the fish from the two eminent lakes of Kashmir valley namely Dal and Manasbal lakes, having different trophic gradients using biochemical (genetic) marker (SDSPage). The electrophoretic analysis revealed 6 bands of molecular weights ranging from 13 to 150 kDa for Dal lake and 8 bands of molecular weights ranging from 15 to 150 kDa for Manasbal lake. The Rf value ranged from 0.15321 to 0.70625 for sampled fishes of Dal lake and from 0.14231 to 0.63559 for sampled fishes of Manasbal lake. The study provided some basic information about the genetic variation of S. esocinus populations in the Dal and Manasbal lakes. Electropherogram studies revealed that the studied populations of Schizothorax esocinus show some degree of variation in the electrophoretic migration of muscle proteins. Polymorphism in muscle protein is clearly demonstrated among this group of fishes from the two lakes.
Betaine: A potent feed additive for amelioration of adverse effect of heat stress in livestock and poultry
Authors: SINGH S V , DESHPANDE ADITYA D , SOMAGOND YALLAPPA M
Published: September 2022

This review encapsulates the beneficial effects of dietary betaine in livestock and poultry to ameliorate the adverse effect of heat stress. Betaine (trimethylglycine) has its own functional, nutritional and physiological roles. It is widely used in feed formulations as feed additive in livestock and poultry feed to increase performance. Beet (Beta vulgaris) is the main source of commercially available betaine. Betaineâ€™s molecular structure possesses N+ and COO-, so it acts as a zwitter ion. Main functions of betaine are as an osmolyte as well as a methyl group donor. These functions showed many valuable effects of dietary betaine to livestock and poultry. Betaine binds with water molecules in its hydration shell and prevents cellular dehydration. This function mainly helps to ameliorate heat stress in livestock and poultry. It is also used as growth promoter in pig farming. Betaine supplementation resulted in increased antioxidant enzyme levels to prevent cellular oxidative stress and ROS formation. Betaine supplementation increased milk yield as well as milk fat in lactating dairy animals. It also increased carcass quality and lean meat production by suppressing lipogenesis genes in meat animals. Also, betaine is stable, non-toxic, and a cost-effective feed additive. Therefore, it can be concluded that betaine is a potent feed additive for livestock and poultry farming.

Published: September 2022

The breed improvement programme of Sahiwal cattle is implemented under AICRP on Cattle through associated herd progeny testing aiming for their conservation and propagation, and improvement in milk production. The production of frozen semen doses of genetically superior young bulls are being done at germplasm (GP) unit located at NDRI, Karnal and frozen semen doses of the bulls are supplied to all Sahiwal data recording (DR) units for test mating. During the last 11 years, 35 bulls in four sets have been inducted under the programme for test mating. First set of eight Sahiwal bulls were evaluated on the basis of 123 first lactation 305-days records of their daughters born during the period between 2011 and 2013 using Best Linear Unbiased Prediction (BLUP) method. The BLUP model included the Herd-year-season effect as fixed factor and sires as random factor. The overall average estimated breeding value (EBV) was 1957.76 kg and the values of bulls ranged between â€“16.84 (â€“0.86) to +31.98 (+1.63) kg. It was also recommended to use the frozen semen doses of two top ranked Sahiwal bulls for nominated mating for producing young male calves for increasing the milk production in subsequent generations. The results also revealed that the performance of Sahiwal cattle has improved over the years due to the implementation of the project, and continuous and sincere efforts are essential to propagate this valuable germplasm.

Published: September 2022

The present study was conducted on 10 crossbred cows (20â€“60 days in milk, 6th to 7th stage of lactation), to study the effect of feeding maize silage on milk yield and composition during lean period (15th November to 15th December 2019; 30 days). The animals were randomly divided into two groups on the basis of average body weight and milk production (349.70Â±9.77 kg and 7.41Â±0.39 kg/day; n=5). All the animals were fed concentrate mixture as per thumb rule method in addition to 3â€“4 h of daily/routine morning grazing in paddock. Wheat straw (WS) was offered @ 7 kg/day to control group whereas in treatment group WS was offered @ 2 kg/day/animal, however, maize silage was fed additionally @ 6 kg/day/animal after evening milking. The results revealed similar average milk yield in both the groups, but mean fat corrected milk yield (4% FCM) was found higher for cows fed with silage (7.39 vs. 6.47 kg/d). Although, no beneficial effect of maize silage supplementation was observed in milk composition (%), but average milk fat yield (MFY) and milk total solids yield (MTSY, kg/d) was significantly increased in treatment group (16.67% increase in MFY and 14.87% increase in MTSY, respectively). In term of economics, the treatment group incurred highest returns of ` 28/animal/day in comparison to untreated animals and thus ultimately incurred highest benefit cost ratio of 1.28 than control group with corresponding value of 1.03. Hence, it may be concluded that maize silage supplementation in feeding regimen of crossbred cows during lean periods is beneficial which is evident by increased 4% FCM, milk yield, MFY, MTSY, besides improving benefit : cost ratio.

Published: September 2022

The present study aimed to explore the degradability of dry matter (DM) and crude protein (CP) of Jatropha curcas kernel meal with different detoxification treatments in the rumen. Moreover, the impacts of the Jatropha curcas kernel meal on rumen fermentation characteristics were also discussed. Jatropha curcas kernel meal adopted in current work was treated as: J. curcas kernel meal no treatment (JNT); J. curcas kernel meal extraction treatment (JET); J. curcas kernel meal heat treatment (JHT), and J. curcas kernel meal high pressure treatment (JPT). The in situ degradability of DM and CP of JHT was compared with those of soybean meal and rapeseed meal for cattle in Experiment I. The in vitro degradability and rumen fermentation characteristics of JNT, JET, JHT and JPT for wethers were investigated in Experiment II. Collectively, after treatments of JHT, JET and JPT, the phorbol ester (PE) content was decreased. In addition, the CP content was higher, of which the degradability was more than 90% after 72 h of in situ incubation. The Jatropha curcas kernel meal with different treatments had no negative effects on the rumen fermentation characteristics after in vitro incubation. It was concluded that Jatropha curcas kernel meal with detoxification treatments could be used as a potential protein feed.
Comparison between different selection indices for some productive traits in Friesian cows
Authors: SANAD SAFAA. S.
Published: September 2022

Data pertaining to 3,977 records collected over a period of 29 years for Friesian cows were utilized for the present study. Records were analyzed for actual total milk yield (TMY), 305-day milk yield (305d-MY), lactation period (LP) and days open (DO) by VCE 6.0 software while, selection indices (SI) using one phenotypic standard deviation as REV1 and Lamont method as REV2. Estimates of direct heritability were low and ranged from 0.02 to 0.23 while, maternal heritability were low and ranged from 0.03 to 0.028. The correlation coefficients between all studied traits were highly significant and ranged between 0.82 to 0.93. The results indicated that reducing interval of days open (DO) could be brought about by improving the farm managerial aspects. The selection criteria of different indices proved that the index I1which incorporated TMY, 305d-MY, LP and DO was the best (RIH = 0.49) and (RE % = 100.00). This index could effectively anticipate in genetic improvement of all the traits of the study; I1 = 0.144 (TMY) + 0.503 (305day/MY) + 1. 619 (LP) + 1.150 (DO). The application of this index I1 led to a predictive genetic gain of TMY, 305d-MY, LP and DO by 359.4 kg, 279.5 kg, 15.3 days and 3.2 days, respectively. The correlation coefficient between I1 and the total economic value was 0.49 while, the heritability estimate of the index was 0.86. Conclusively, such an index can help the investor in the field of dairy cattle to select the best animals in early lactation and in subsequent generationâ€™s traits as well; which leads to an increase in economic return.

Authors: JAIN ANAND , RANJAN ASHISH , GUPTA I D , SINGH H K
Published: September 2022

Various random regression models with different order of Legendre polynomials for permanent environmental and genetic effects were constructed to evaluate Murrah buffaloes under field condition. A total of 24,160 test-day (TD) milk yield records of 2,336 buffaloes belonging to six districts of Haryana state from 2014 to 2019 under CHRS Rohtak were considered for estimating the random covariate coefficients using REML algorithm. The R2 and BIC improved up to seventh order of the polynomials but decreased at 8th order. The lowest value of AIC was for 8th order of polynomial. The models with LPs of order 5 and above gave an improved fit of the lactation curve having high R2 value (>98%). However, the number of parameters increased from 13 for LP of order 3 to 73 for LP of order 8 indicating over parameterization of models. Best order of fit was 7th order having highest R2 (99.23%), lowest AIC and lowest BIC value. The lactation curves plotted from the ETDMYs obtained under RRMs using LP5 and LP7 were smoother as compared to the lactation curve obtained from arithmetic mean. The 301 day lactation yield under RRMs using LP of order 7 and 5 averaged 3470.42Â±2.76 kg and 3460.72Â±3.10 kg, respectively. The milk yield ranged from 3,456.38 kg in Bhiwani district to 3,480.86 kg in Sonipat district under LP7 model while it ranged from 3,426.35 kg in Jhajjar district to 3,503.95 kg in Bhiwani district under LP5 model. It was observed that less than 50% were common in top 1% of total buffaloes under the two RRMs. The RRM using LP of order 7, which provided more accurate breeding values, must be considered for selection of top ranking/ superior animals for breeding purpose.

Telehealth facility was launched to extend veterinary services throughout Kashmir valley. It was also desired for continuation of veterinary internship during the COVID-19 lock-down period. A total of 714 response forms were received from the participating veterinary faculty of clinical disciplines in six months. The majority (n=504, 70.6%) of the cases pertained to the dairy cattle. Thirty per cent (n=9/30) of the designated specialists participated. The tele-health facility was availed by interns (44.25%), farmers/animal owners (36.51%), field veterinarians (15.28%) and the para-veterinarians (3.97%) in significantly decreasing order. Telephone mobile calls, WhatsApp messages (text, photos and videos), and the SMS text messages were the platforms used. The animals with medical problems (67.66%) were significantly more than those showing gynaecological (18.25%) and surgical (14.09%) ailments. More than half (52.58%) of the cases were reported from the nearby three districts. The remaining (47.42%) animal owners resided in rest of the seven districts. Most of the complaints pertained to skin and appendages (27.18%), alimentary (25.79%) and reproductive tract (18.25%) in the affected cattle respectively. Udder and teat affections, metabolic diseases, and repeat breeding were tentatively diagnosed in majority of the cows. From this preliminary study, it is concluded that the veterinary telehealth service can reach far-off places and education can be continued amidst lockdown period. Short duration and lack of the follow up details are the weakness of this study. Additionally, more veterinary specialists need be persuaded to participate in telehealth modality.

Published: September 2022

This study investigated the effect of adding a type of superplasticizer (polycarboxylate ether -PCE) on the workability and mechanical properties of concrete containing recycled coarse aggregate (RCA). The effect of increasing the PCE dosage while changing the water/cement ratio on RCA strength was also studied. To accomplish these goals, three groups of concrete mixtures were prepared. The variable in these groups was the water/cement ratio (0.53, 0.57, and 0.615). In each group, the natural aggregate was replaced by two proportions of RCA (50 and 100%) and different proportions of PCE were added for each replacement ratio. The findings encourage the use of PCE in recycled concrete. It was found that the addition of PCE improves the properties of recycled concrete in terms of workability and compactness. The addition of PCE also compensates for the compressive strength that is lost due to the replacement of natural aggregate with recycled coarse aggregate.
"صلاحيات الولي في عقد النكاح في الفقه الإسلامي "دراسة فقهية مقارنة مع الاستدلال بأصول الفقه ومقاصد الشريعة
Authors: Alhammamı Ehsan
Published: September 2022

إن دراسة الأحكام الشرعية التي تنظم بناء الأسرة تبين أن النكاح أهم ركائز هذه الأسرة، فقد اعتنى الشارع ﺑهذا العقد اعتناء ظاهرًا، ودعا إلى إقامة العائلة وراعى أحكامها من خلال نصوص كثيرة في القرآن والسنة، لذلك كان لابد من دراسة عقد النكاح من خلال البحث في ضوابطه وشروطه التي يقوم عليها. ﺗﺄتي أهمية هذا البحث من خلال دراسته أحد هذه الضوابط؛ ألا وهو الولي، ومن ثم شروط الولاية، مع مناقشة اختلاف الفقهاء في هذه الشروط. كما يبيِّن هذا البحث اختلاف الفقهاء في جواز مباشرة المرأة عقد نكاحها بنفسها أو منعها من هذه المباشرة وفق شروط معينة. إضافة إلى أن هذا البحث يدرس آراء الفقهاء في حكم استئذان المرأة في عقد زواجها، وحق وليها في إجبارها على النكاح دون استئذانها، ثم الترجيح بينها بناء على الأدلة الصريحة والظاهرة ودلالات الألفاظ وفق القواعد الأصولية وفهم مقصود الشارع من خطابه. وقد توصل الباحث إلى أن مراعاة مقاصد الشريعة تيسر على المجتهدين الترجيح بين الأدلة المتعارضة بما يتناسب مع روح التشريع، ولا يخرجه عن مقصوده.
Mes‘ûdî’nin Tarihyazıcılığında Bir İstitrat Örneği Olarak Abbâsîler ile Bizans Arasındaki Esir Mübadeleleri
Authors: Ünal Zeynep Kaya
Published: September 2022

Mes‘ûdî’nin ahbâr alanında günümüze ulaşan iki eseri bulunmaktadır. Müellifin tarih yazımında ahbâr, tüm ilimlerin kendisinden çıktığı ana membadır. Dolayısıyla siyasetten felsefeye, edebiyattan kültüre oldukça geniş bir sahayı kapsamaktadır. Bu sebeple Mes‘ûdî, “her bâbda başlıkta zikredilmeyen konulara” da yer verdiğini belirtmiştir. Ancak bunu gerçekleştirmek için, konu başlıklarıyla ilişkili meselelerin ele alınmasını mümkün kılacak bir üsluba ihtiyaç vardır. Mes‘ûdî bu ihtiyacı, edebiyat sahasında bir anlatı unsuru olan istitrâtı (ara söz) tarih yazıcılığına dahil ederek karşılamış; bu sayede ilgili gördüğü konuları metnin içerisine yerleştirmiştir. İstitrât vesilesiyle hem otobiyografik bilgilere yer verme hem de biyocoğrafya, sosyo-kültürel unsurlar, felsefî meseleler gibi pek çok konuyu içine alan kapsamlı bir metin inşa etme imkânına kavuşmuştur. Fakat müellifin üslubunda istitrâtın görevi bununla sınırlı değildir. Zira Mürûcü’z-zeheb’de bölümlerin içinde kullanılan istitratlar, et-Tenbîh vel’l-işrâf’a gelindiğinde bizzat bölüm olarak sunulabilmektedir. Abbâsîler ile Bizans arasındaki esir değişimlerini inceleyen ara söz de böyledir. Bu makalede Mes‘ûdî’nin istitrât kullanımının seyrini takip etmek için; öncelikle müellifin bu üsluba sıklıkla yer verdiği eseri Mürûcü’z-zeheb’deki örneklerden hareketle, mezkûr usulü hangi amaçlarla kullandığına dikkat çekilecektir. Akabinde esir mübadelelerini inceleyen et-Tenbîh ve’l-işrâf’taki bölüm, söz konusu metodun gelişimi bağlamında değerlendirilecektir.
