Published: November 2023

Sumber daya alam di Indonesia sangatlah kaya salah satunya jenis tumbuhan Kelapa. Daerah Sumatera Selatan adalah salah satu daerah dengan tanaman Kelapa yang cukup banyak, Biasanya warga menggunakan olahan dari tumbuhan kelapa dimana kelapa tersebut diparut terlebih dahulu. Untuk mendapatkan hasil dari parutan Kelapa masih mengunakan metode tradisional. Sepanjang ini proses pemarutan Kelapa yang dikerjakan dengan  metode manual, proses menyalakan alat untuk beroperasi masih membutuhkan tenaga yang kuat, karena prosesnya menarik tali sebagai starter, dan banyak nya kelapa parut yang dihasilkan masih seukuran kepalan tangan untuk memberikan jumlah kelapa parut yang tepat sehingga dinilai sangat tidak efisien. Maka dari itu dibutuhkan alat yang dapat memberikan informasi jumlah kelapa parut yang dihasilkan melalui teknologi Internet of Things (IoT) yang dapat dikontrol menggunakan smartphone. Dalam penelitian ini menggunakan metode Rapid Aplication Development (RAD) fase-fase dalam RAD ada tiga yaitu requirement planning, design workshop, dan implementasi algoritma fuzzy logic mamdani. Hasil dari penelitian ini berupa penerapan algoritma fuzzy logic mamdani pada alat pemarut kelapa melalui platform Thinger io, menampilkan jumlah hasil parutan kelapa dengan proses menyalakan mesin pemarut kelapa otomatis.  Dari hasil pengolahan data domain himpunan fuzzy berat kelapa parut sebesar 100gr – 1500gr berada pada kategori rendah, berat 1600gr – 3100gr berada pada kategori sedang, dan berat 3200gr – 5000gr berada pada kategori tinggi.

Las injurias graves como causa de la desheredación
Authors: Íñigo Fuster Andrés
Published: November 2023

Según lo dispuesto en el artículo 853 de nuestro Código Civil (CC), «serán también justas causas para desheredar a los hijos y descendientes, además de las señaladas en el artículo 756 con los números 2), 3), 5) y 6), las siguientes: 2. Haberle maltratado de obra o injuriado gravemente de palabra». No obstante, pese a la sencillez utilizada por el legislador, el problema se centra en determinar qué debemos entender por injurias graves que faculten para privar a los herederos forzosos de su legítima estricta, y en cómo demostrar su concurrencia. En relación con esta cuestión podemos plantearnos diversos aspectos, teniendo presente el tratamiento jurisprudencial al respecto:
- Aspectos generales de la desheredación: la interpretación restrictiva de las causas de desheredación.- Las injurias graves como causa de desheredación: la necesaria concurrencia del animus iniuriandi.- La incardinación de las injurias en el ámbito familiar para determinar su gravedad.- La problemática de las injurias vertidas en juicio.- La prueba de las injurias: la interpretación restrictiva de las causas de desheredación y la carga de la prueba.- Delimitación entre los deberes morales y el ámbito jurídico de las causas de desheredación.
Reforma de la LECrim.: los llamados juicios rápidos
Authors: Callejo Carrión Soraya
Published: November 2023

El próximo 28 de abril de 2003 entrará en vigor la reforma parcial que las Leyes 38/2002 y Orgánica 8/2002, ambas de 24 de octubre, complementaria la última de la anterior, van a suponer en la actual Ley de Enjuiciamiento Criminal (LECrim.).
La Ley 38/2002, sobre procedimiento para el enjuiciamiento rápido e inmediato de determinados delitos y faltas, y de modificación del procedimiento abreviado, se propone un objetivo claro y prioritario confesado por el legislador en su exposición de motivos, cual es conseguir la agilización de los procedimientos, la mejora de los abreviados, el enjuiciamiento inmediato de los delitos menos graves y flagrantes, y la simplificación de trámites en las grandes causas.
Que la Ley consiga satisfacer sus objetivos es algo que sólo el tiempo y la práctica forense podrán demostrar. En cualquier caso, y al margen de los temores ya expresados de que la reforma pueda suponer una merma de garantías, nos corresponderá a todos los operadores jurídicos colaborar para evitar, en la medida de lo posible, que la indeseable afectación de garantías se produzca.
La Ley es fruto del llamado Pacto de Estado para la reforma de la Justicia y tras la misma subyace la preocupación social que ha generado, de un lado, el incremento de la inseguridad ciudadana, y de otro, los retrasos en la sustanciación de los procesos penales, que son aprovechados por los imputados para ponerse fuera del alcance de la autoridad judicial, y sobre todo, para reiterar conductas delictivas, acentuando de esta forma la sensación de impunidad y de indefensión de una ciudadanía que busca respuestas rápidas del sistema judicial como vía para sentirse protegida.
Además de implantar los juicios rápidos, la reforma supone una modificación del procedimiento abreviado y del juicio de faltas. Aunque en el presente comentario tan sólo voy a centrarme en los primeros, es menester hacer cuanto menos una somera referencia al cambio que también en este sentido está a punto de afectar a los otros dos tipos de procedimientos.
Novedades más significativas y recientes producidas en materia de Derecho Procesal Civil
Authors: Toledano Jiménez Miguel Ángel
Published: November 2023

En un principio el título de este artículo se refería a las novedades producidas en la Ley de Enjuiciamiento Civil (LEC), pero nos dimos cuenta de que no sería del todo correcto ni justo, no sería correcto porque la Ley Orgánica 19/2003, de 23 de diciembre, no modifica la LEC sino la Ley Orgánica del Poder Judicial (LOPJ), no sería justo puesto que si excluyéramos dicha Ley de la exposición, dejaríamos fuera una modificación que si bien no altera el texto de la LEC, sí afecta el derecho procesal civil, por eso en el título optamos por referirnos a las novedades producidas en el derecho procesal civil, y no en la LEC.
Hecha esta aclaración, diremos que las novedades más significativas en la materia han venido de la mano de 4 normas recientemente aprobadas y de enorme importancia práctica y procesal:
1. Ley 22/2003, de 9 de julio, Concursal.2. Ley 23/2003, de 10 de julio, de Garantía en la Venta de Bienes al Consumo.3.

Este trabajo ha sido seleccionado y ha obtenido el 2.º Premio Estudios Financieros 2004 en la Modalidad de DERECHO ADMINISTRATIVO.
Transcurridos cincuenta años de la Ley de Expropiación Forzosa se prestará atención en este estudio al fenómeno actual del cambio de afectación de los bienes expropiados y sus repercusiones en el derecho de la propiedad. A la Administración le basta con el mantenimiento de la afectación -durante el plazo de diez años- a la causa de expropiar originaria, o a cualquier otra declarada de utilidad pública o interés social, para poder disponer libremente del bien o derecho expropiado, destinándolo a cualesquiera fines. Sin embargo, el derecho de reversión no es sólo una garantía individual, sino una garantía del interés público, existiendo límites constitucionales que vedan toda posible veleidad de la Administración en un procedimiento expropiatorio.
Simulating impacts on UK air quality from net-zero forest planting scenarios
Authors: Purser Gemma , Heal Mathew R. , Carnell Edward J. , Bathgate Stephen , Drewer Julia , Morison James I. L. , Vieno Massimo
Published: November 2023

Abstract. The UK proposes additional bioenergy plantations and afforestation as part of measures to meet net-zero greenhouse gas emissions, but species and locations are not yet decided. Different tree species emit varying amounts of isoprene and monoterpene volatile organic compounds that are precursors to ozone and secondary organic aerosol (SOA) formation, the latter of which is a component of PM2.5. The forest canopy also acts as a depositional sink for air pollutants. All these processes are meteorologically influenced. We present here a first step in coupling information on tree species planting suitability and other planting constraints with data on UK-specific BVOC emission rates and tree canopy data to simulate, via the WRF-EMEP4UK high spatial-resolution atmospheric chemistry transport model, the impact on UK air quality of four potential scenarios. Our “maximum planting” scenarios are based on planting areas where yields are predicted to be ≥ 50 % of the maximum from the Ecological Site Classification decision support system (ESC DSS) for Eucalyptus gunnii, hybrid aspen (Populus tremula), Italian alder (Alnus cordata) and Sitka spruce (Picea sitchensis). The additional areas of forest in our scenarios are 2.0 to 2.7 times the current suggestions for new bioenergy and afforestation land cover in the UK. Our planting scenarios increase UK annual mean surface ozone concentrations by 1.0 ppb or 3 % relative to the baseline land cover for the highest BVOC-emitting species (e.g. E. gunnii). Increases in ozone reach 2 ppb in summer when BVOC emissions are greatest. In contrast, all the additional planting scenarios lead to reductions in UK annual mean PM2.5 – ranging from −0.2 µg m−3 (−3 %) for Sitka spruce to −0.5 µg m−3 (−7 %) for aspen – revealing that PM2.5 deposition to the additional forest canopy area more than offsets additional SOA formation. Relative decreases in annual mean PM2.5 are greater than the relative increases in annual mean ozone. Reductions in PM2.5 are least in summer, coinciding with the period of maximum monoterpene emissions. Although only a first step in evaluating the impact of increased forest plantation on UK air quality, our study demonstrates the need for locally relevant data on land cover suitability, emissions and meteorology in model simulations.
Observing atmospheric convection with dual-scanning lidars
Authors: Duscha Christiane , Pálenik Juraj , Spengler Thomas , Reuder Joachim
Published: November 2023

Abstract. While convection is a key process in the development of the atmospheric boundary layer, conventional meteorological measurement approaches fall short in capturing the evolution of the complex dynamics of convection. To obtain deeper observational insight into convection, we assess the potential of a dual-lidar approach. We present the capability of two pre-processing procedures, an advanced clustering filter instead of a simple threshold filter and a temporal interpolation, to increase data availability and reduce errors in the individual lidar observations that would be amplified in the dual-lidar retrieval. To evaluate the optimal balance between spatial and temporal resolution to sufficiently resolve convective properties, we test a set of scan configurations. We deployed the dual-lidar setup at two Norwegian airfields in a different geographic setting and demonstrate its capabilities as a proof of concept. We present a retrieval of the convective flow field in a vertical plane above the airfield for each of these setups. The advanced data filtering and temporal interpolation approaches show an improving effect on the data availability and quality and are applied to the observations used in the dual-lidar retrieval. All tested angular resolutions captured the relevant spatial features of the convective flow field, and balance between resolutions can be shifted towards a higher temporal resolution. Based on the evaluated cases, we show that the dual-lidar approach sufficiently resolves and provides valuable insight into the dynamic properties of atmospheric convection.
The value of ultra-detailed survey data for an improved flood damage modelling with explicit input data uncertainty treatment: INSYDE 2.0
Authors: Di Bacco Mario , Molinari Daniela , Scorzini Anna Rita
Published: November 2023

Abstract. Accurate flood damage modelling is essential to estimate the potential impact of floods and to develop effective mitigation strategies. However, flood damage models rely on diverse sources of hazard, exposure and vulnerability data, which are often incomplete, inconsistent, or totally missing. These issues with data quality or availability introduce uncertainties in the modelling process and affect the final risk estimations. In this study, we present INSYDE 2.0, a flood damage modelling tool that integrates ultra-detailed survey and desk-based data for an enhanced reliability and informativeness of flood damage predictions, including an explicit representation of the effect of uncertainties arising from an incomplete knowledge on the variables characterizing the system under investigation.
Nested radicals obtained via the Wilf--Zeilberger method and related results
Authors: Campbell John
Published: November 2023

We apply the Maple implementation of the Wilf--Zeilberger method to prove an acceleration formula for a family of ₃F₂(1)-series with three free parameters, so as to accelerate the convergence rate from 1 to ¼ for such series. We apply our series transform to determine new, fast-converging, rational, hypergeometric series for constants of the form √{2 ± √{2 + √{2 + ⋯ √{2}}}}, which are of significance in classical geometry. Our series of convergence rate ¼ closely resemble Ramanujan's series for 1/π of the same convergence rate. Our acceleration for the family of ₃F₂(1)-series considered in this article is based on a WZ pair generated by Maple and associated with a special case of Gauss's ₂F₁(1)-identity; a corresponding case of Dixon's ₃F₂(1)-identity may be used to further demonstrate the applicability of our telescoping-based approach to series acceleration, via the new series for π, π², Apéry's constant ζ(3), and ∛2 that we introduce.

Abstract Within the framework of learning, online learning pedagogy and technology-assisted learning (online or electronic learning) are known to help create effective and rich learning environments and processes by eliminating space and time barriers. In such an environment, there is a question of the emergence of a new pedagogy. It has often been discussed how different electronic learning is from traditional learning environments. A large number of pedagogical approaches have been developed on electronic learning, which underlie the learning and teaching processes and practices carried out in schools, universities, home environments. Since computers and the Internet are involved for any learning and teaching method, electronic learning covers a wide pedological approach from problem-oriented learning to Simulator learning. Attention should be paid to how learning technologies will provide individual students with basic pedagogy and guidance on learning performances, where real learning difficulties and feedback are concerned. Proponents of the structural view assert that learning is a process that takes place through activity and advocate that feedback should be provided individually. Learning experience with a constructive, comparative and exploratory nature thanks to new technologies, motivation to learn is increasing, and self-confidence and independent learning are supported with the new virtual reality. While there is a direct one-sided interaction related to the subject to be learned in the traditional learning method, a two-sided learning process is achieved with other learners and learning material thanks to new technologies. New learning models developing in parallel with different approaches have discovered the constructivist learning method (constructivism), arguing that learning will happen spontaneously, with participant-centered and computer-aided education and knowledge creation processes, individuals should no longer worry too much about their own learning.

Published: November 2023

Prostitution is considered the oldest profession in the world. Although the culture and date of its inception is not clear, there are various myths. It has different meanings and reflections in every culture and civilization. This situation causes it to take on different places. The beginning of prostitution is thought to derive from phenomenon of war; therefore, it relates to the settlement of the occupation forces in the cities. Economic reasons accompany the phenomenon of war. According to the type of prostitution, the phenomenon of religion also shapes prostitution. Social and cultural meanings attributed to prostitution, types of prostitution and sex workers, accessibility, urban politics and technology can be counted among the dynamics in the selection of spaces of prostitution. All these factors transform and diversify the places of prostitution. We will examine the changing places of prostitution from the past to the present including what these types of places are, both chronologically and thematically on the basis of countries. It is possible to collect types of spaces of protitution under eight different headings from design (planned and organic), settlement (urban and rural), religion (holy and non-religious), law (legal and illegal), and location in urban space (centre and periphery – scattered or combined), to access (virtual and real – mobile or fixed), continuity (legal and illegal) and front spaces (night club, pavilion, residence, hotel, massage parlor, Turkish bath and tourism). In this study, it is aimed to discuss the dynamics of choosing a place for prostitution, its concentration in the region where prostitution occurs, and the formation of prostitution in a region with activities of no prostitution. For this purpose, spaces of prostitution will be categorized. For the classification of spaces of prostitution, the phenomenon of prostitution in different countries will be analyzed. Key Words: Prostitution, Spacial, Red Light District, Sex Worker, Brothel.
Analyzing the Asymmetric Effects of Green Finance, Financial Development and FDI on Environment Sustainability: New Insights from Pakistan Based Non-Linear ARDL Approach
Authors: Kanwal Amna , Khalid Salman , Alam Muhammad Zaheer
Published: November 2023

This research examines the Asymmetric Effects of Green Finance, Financial Development, Financial technology, economic growth, foreign direct investment, and financial development on environmental sustainability. It accomplishes this by applying the Asymmetric Autoregressive Distribution of Lag (NARDL) approach on information obtained from Pakistan from 1997 to 2022. The Data is collected from the Economic Survey of Pakistan and WDI. By analyzing these factors' intricate dynamics within the context of Pakistan, the study seeks to ascertain the short- and long-term effects on environmental sustainability. Using the NARDL paradigm, we address the nonlinearities and asymmetric effects that may exist in this Model. Our findings demonstrate that Pakistan's attempts to protect the environment are aided or hindered by green finance initiatives, technology advancements, economic growth trends, FDI, and financial development. The study investigates how these linkages evolve over time, which aids in developing methodological and policy recommendations for promoting environmental sustainability across the country. This study adds to the body of previous research, Businesses, legislators, and other interested parties attempting to reconcile environmental protection with economic expansion in a world-changing world will find the results to be an invaluable resource. Policymakers should prioritize the development of green financial instruments, support sustainable economic growth, draw in foreign investments with an environmental focus, and use innovations to address the urgent problem of reducing carbon emissions and promoting a more sustainable future for Pakistan. The limitation of the study is that determining the validity of observed trends may be difficult because data for some variables may only be available for a brief period of time.

Authors:   Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry, Institute of Basic Sciences, Department of Physical Rehabilitation, Academy of Physical Education in Kraków, Kryst Joanna
Published: November 2023

In recent years, cosmetics containing substances of natural origin have become increasingly popular. Turmeric and the bioactive substances extracted from it, are the subjects of research not only in medicine but also to demonstrate the positive effects of turmeric on skin conditions. The study aimed to present the results of scientific research on the potential applications of turmeric and its isolates in dermocosmetics. Recents studies indicate that curcumin isolated from turmeric has strong antioxidant activity and skin photodamageminimising properties. Additionally, due to inhibition of enzymes responsible for the degradation of collagen and elastin in the skin, curcumin is expected to be used in formulations that reduce the signs of ageing. On the other hand, the antiinflammatory and antimicrobial effects of active substances extracted from turmeric can be applied in preparations intended for acne-prone skin. It is also important that the ingredients of the cosmetic preparation provide stability to the active substances extracted from turmeric and increase their penetration into the deeper layers of the skin.

INTRODUCTION: Coronavirus is a major pathogen which attacks the respiratory system of human primarily. It results in decreased activities of daily living (A.D.L.), quality of life (QOL), decreased physical activity and mental functions. The ability to perform moderate to high-intensity Aerobic exercise or resistance for a prolonged period is linked to cardio respiratory fitness. It is best indicated by Maximum oxygen uptake. Preliminary evidence suggests that symptoms of anxiety range from 16 to 28% and self-reported stress is around 8% during COVID-19 pandemic throughout the world. Many rehabilitation protocols are designed for the individuals recovered from covid-19. Mostly includes the combination of aerobic exercises and resistance training along with flexibility exercises, breathing exercises. Hence, need of study is to compare the aerobic exercise and resistance training to provide more effective treatment for relieving the symptoms of anxiety and improving physical fitness.
METHODOLOGY: Approval of The Ethical Committee Was Taken. Selection of the Subjects According to The Inclusion Criteria and Exclusion Criteria Has Been Done. After Taken Written Informed Consent from The Screening of all Subject Has Been Done. Physical Activity Questionnaire Hamilton Anxiety Scale Were Filled by Participants.

The influence of macroeconomic infrastructure on supply chain smoothness and national competitiveness and its implications on a country's economic growth: evidence from BRICS countries
Authors: Alexandro Rinto , Basrowi Basrowi
Published: November 2023

This study investigates the intricate relationships between macroeconomic infrastructure, supply chain smoothness, national competitiveness, and economic growth within the BRICS nations—Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South Africa. This study adopts a quantitative approach with cross-sectional data to examine the interrelationships. The research confirms that macroeconomic infrastructure significantly influences supply chain smoothness and a country's economic growth, underscoring the pivotal role of infrastructure development in enhancing supply chain efficiency and fostering economic expansion. However, rejecting hypotheses regarding the direct impact of supply chain smoothness and national competitiveness on economic growth highlights economic growth dynamics' complex and multifaceted nature within the BRICS context. This study emphasizes the need for nuanced, context-specific strategies to address each BRICS nation's unique challenges and opportunities. Theoretical implications call for a more comprehensive theoretical framework considering the contextual factors influencing economic growth within BRICS countries. Practical implications highlight the importance of strategic infrastructure investments and comprehensive policy approaches that extend beyond isolated factors. Despite its contributions, this study has limitations, including simplifying complex economic relationships and needing more country-specific analyses. Future research should explore broader variables, non-linear relationships, and country-specific nuances to understand economic growth in the BRICS group better.

Published: November 2023

ourism has become a new way of living with the living standard development. This study analyses the tourism destination centrality and spatial patterns of the tourism system using complex network analysis. An analysis of 245 destinations in the South of Thailand has found that the network has a low network density, large average path length and low clustering coefficient. Some a small number of high-degree destinations connect to each other, while most connect to others with a low degree. The network comprises 18 subnetworks that destinations densely connect to others in the same subnetwork but sparsely connect to others in different ones. Destinations play different roles in the network based on which a centrality measure is used, degree, betweenness and closeness centrality. 31 destinations with high hub and authority centrality are the centers playing as hubs of the network. The study’s findings draw implications for the sector.

Investigating towards the sustainable green marketing environment of readymade apparel industries: A structural equation modelling approach
Authors: Alam Mohammad Zulfeequar , Ahmad Tameem , Abunar Salah
Published: November 2023

Green marketing (GM) has frequently been seen as a prevalent phenomenon influencing companies' operations and functions. This article analyses GM techniques in India's ready-made apparel (RMA) industry by presenting a trio of viewpoints on the subject. It offers a systematic framework for the factors impacting the use of green marketing techniques. GM practices are evaluated regarding the impact on the environment, society, and the economy. Partial least square-structural equation modelling (PLS-SEM) is used to conduct empirical tests of the framework, focusing on data collected from a survey that evaluates eco-friendly marketing practices. The results show that environmental, social, and economic factors are beneficially interconnected. When assessing GM practice, the PLS-SEM estimation shows that the relationship between economic and environmental sustainability has a significant proportion of values. However, more data on RMA industries' environmental and social effects must be collected. Additionally, according to the results of the PLS-SEM model, there are considerable differences between actual and expected GM adoption developments and perspectives among various industrial firms, particularly for managing waste and pollution of water. Given the nation's rapid socio-economic growth and technical improvement, social-level performance has minimal impact on GM strategy for RMA industries. Moreover, the research makes some recommendations emphasizing the discovered model's component in motivating commercial organizations to get involved in socio-economic activities that promote the environment, changing the focus of prospective GM areas of study.

This research aimed to 1) investigate the levels of green supply chain management practices (GSCMP), environmental performance (ENP), operational performance (OPP), and organizational performance (ORP) in the context of Thai herb producers; and 2) investigate the interactions between GSCMP, ENP, OPP, and ORP. Quantitative research methodologies were applied in the research. The sample for the quantitative study consisted of 340 Thai herb producers selected by stratified sampling by region. The instruments employed for research were questionnaires. Statistics such as frequency, percentage, mean, standard deviation, confirmatory factor analysis, and structural equation modeling were utilized for quantitative data analysis. Results indicated that GSCMP, ENP, OPP, and ORP levels were high. In addition, GSCMP had direct positive effects on ENP and OPP, as well as indirect positive effects on OPP and ORP, respectively, mediated via ENP and OPP. In addition, ENP had a favorable direct impact on OPP and a positive indirect impact on ORP, with OPP serving as a mediator. Herb producers might use these insights as a roadmap to enhance their organizational performance. In addition, government agencies may utilize the study's findings to establish a strategy for assisting entrepreneurs. In addition, academics and interested parties might bring the research findings to examine and perform more research.

First paragraph: This fall of 2022 issue includes open-call papers on a wide range of food systems topics, with a cluster focused on the concept of economies of community. Economies of community occurs when stake­holders in a collec­tive action project or program scale up, not by growing individually, but by growing as a group—by treating each other as equal partners, maintaining transparency in communications and in other transactions, and generating regular feedback for continuous improvement. Several examples of economies of community are provided in this issue. . . .
Worlds within Worlds
Authors: Kremer Bruno
Published: November 2023

A microscope is a gateway to another dimension, allowing us to explore the fascinating realm of microorganisms. From the colonies of green algae that grace the cover of this book, to bacteria, cellular structures and protozoa – an entire world of life, almost limitless and yet invisible to the naked eye, awaits through the lens of a microscope. Until now there has been no book that offers easy access to the exciting and mind-expanding world of microscopy. Practical, compact and accessible, this guide is written especially for beginners. It provides help in learning the correct use of a microscope and the production of preparations. Structured clearly in 25 short chapters, it allows the reader to progress in manageable stages. Each step focuses on a particular theme, introducing the relevant techniques. From illumination to observation, from slide preparation to staining, this book supplies all the building blocks needed for skilled use of microscopes. With this step-by-step approach, the way into the wonderful visual universe of the miniature becomes very simple, even if your first microscope is only a budget model: most of the activities suggested here work using a basic instrument without the more sophisticated accessories. Indeed, the history of microscopy shows that discoveries of great significance have been possible even with rather modest equipment. And this is just as true today. Illustrated throughout with photographs and diagrams, this book is the perfect companion as you discover the richness of microscopic life.
A Field Guide to the Butterflies of Romania
Authors: Rákosy László
Published: November 2023

Through its geographical position, varied topography, particular climate and complex cultural history, Romania has managed to sustain enormously rich biodiversity. Traditional practices, which have survived longer than in most other parts of Europe, have allowed the preservation of large areas of natural habitat, little altered by human activity. All this is reflected in the breadth of lepidoptera encountered in the country – from the dazzling Freyer’s Purple Emperor to the elusive Moorland Clouded Yellow, from the almost bird-like Great Banded Grayling to the diminutive Osiris Blue. This book considers all the species (and subspecies) of butterflies known to occur in Romania. This identification guide to the butterflies of Romania is set out in a format easy to understand not only by specialists but also for the more general naturalist or butterfly enthusiast. An expansive introduction covers the various life stages (ovum, larva, pupa and imago), biology and ecology, as well as protection and conservation, and butterfly research. The next section identifies the 14 most important habitat types frequented by butterflies in Romania. For each of the more than 200 species covered, information on taxonomy, identification, habitat, biology, conservation and distribution is presented. Each is illustrated with photographs from nature, primarily adult males and females, but also numerous images of the developmental stages. There follows a complete set of plates of prepared butterflies, displaying dorsal and ventral positions (upper and undersides) for both males and females. Finally, the male genital armature of several species are illustrated, primarily those difficult or impossible to identify using visual determination. The result is an attractive, practical and portable guide that not only helps identify the butterfly species of Romania, but also encourages the reader to more fully appreciate and protect them.
Semicolonial Rhetoric; or, A Rhetorical Sphere of Influence
Authors: Ahmadi Maryam
Published: November 2023

This article explores how Persian/ate rhetorical experiences and sensibilities constitute and are constituted by semicolonial modalities of empire. Building on global rhetorical history and an analysis of the work of the social reformer, historian, and linguist Ahmad Kasravi (1890–1946), I show how critical conceptions and configurations of speech emerge vis-à-vis the semicolonial bordering and ordering of the body politic and how these rhetorical formations at once resist and reproduce empire. Hailing from the liminal rhetorical space between the colonial and the noncolonial, namely, the sphere of influence, these configurations constitute what I call semicolonial rhetoric or a rhetorical sphere of influence.
