Published: May 2024

Este estudio tiene como objetivo analizar la alfarería como manifestación cultural de la comunidad de Huancas. Se recogieron datos in situ sobre las características de la cerámica Huancas: formas, técnicas y motivos ornamentales, destacando la tradición y la identidad cultural que expresan. Se trata de una investigación básica de tipo descriptivo, que empleó el cuestionario como instrumento de recolección de información a una muestra de 35 personas vinculadas a la actividad alfarera en la comunidad de Huancas. Los resultados revelaron que la alfarería en esta comunidad constituye un elemento fundamental del patrimonio cultural femenino, transmitido de generación en generación. Notablemente, el 59% de las artesanas adquieren sus conocimientos de sus progenitoras, mientras que un 13% los heredan de sus abuelas, destacando la relevante contribución del género femenino a la continuidad de esta tradición artesanal. Los objetos cerámicos producidos son mayormente utilitarios, incluyendo ollas, macetas y floreros, así como los denominados "chochos", grandes vasijas para almacenar agua o guarapo. Más allá de su función en la afirmación de la identidad cultural, la alfarería de Huancas también actúa como un impulsor del turismo, fomentando el desarrollo económico local y la preservación del patrimonio cultural. Este estudio subraya la necesidad de una gestión integral para garantizar la preservación y promoción sostenible de la actividad alfarera en Huancas, posicionándola como un atractivo destino turístico en beneficio de la comunidad.
Application Of Problem Based Learning (PBL) Model To Increase Students ' Learning Motivation In The Material of Life Diversity Class X SMA Muhammadiyah 1 Gresik
Authors: Muttaqin Ainul
Published: May 2024

The phenomenon of declining student motivation, especially after the Covid-19 pandemic, is a prominent problem. Students experience a transition from distance learning coupled with the absence of social interaction for a long time. The expected goal is to determine the increase in student learning motivation through problem based learning (PBL) learning models and high-level thinking skills of students. This research was carried out at SMA Muhammadiyah 1 Gresik in September 2022. The method used is to use the observation of learning activities. From the results of the study it can be concluded that (1) most students can understand the concept of diversity of living things by using PBL learning model. (2) The attitude shown by students as a whole has been in the form of critical reasoning, cooperation, and independence. (3) in the learning process, students are able to demonstrate skills in independently compiling tables on plant diversity at the level of genes and species in schools, planning actions and choosing the right plants. (4) PBL learning Model with TPACK approach is felt very happy by students because they can learn to use devices, can learn to solve problems, and have experience through observation activities.

Published: May 2024

One form of appreciation for literary works is the novel Arok Dedes in the aspect of leadership in the education of prospective Brahmins, which can be used as a source of inspiration for images of education in the past. The aim of this research is to analyze the picture of leadership in the education of prospective Brahmins. The main analysis is related to aspects of Educational Psychology and Human Resources Management in the novel. Using qualitative methods and research analysis using Educational Psychology and Human Resources Management approaches. The results of the analysis show that Arok's leadership character, from the start, has received recognition from the Brahmins, including: intelligence, energy, memory, intuition, superior persuasive power and Arok's leadership potential in the future. Regarding the role of leadership character in the education of prospective Brahmins, there are five confessions from various parties regarding Arok's leadership character, including: 1. Acknowledgment from Brahmins 2. Acknowledgment from dorm friends 3. Acknowledgment from his game mates 4. Agreement from Arok's friends regarding motivation for studying in aim to overthrow stump Ametung 5. Dedes' confession. There are two leadership approaches applied by the Arok character, first is the Leader Characteristics Approach, the Arok character is considered a leader who has certain superior characteristics that other characters do not have, can be differentiated based on the superiority of his personal attributes such as intelligence, energy, memory, intuition, and superior persuasive power. Second, the Leader Behavior Approach, this approach compares the behavior of effective leaders which can refer to the Arok character and the behavior of ineffective leaders which refers to the character of nggul Ametung.
Escape room as a stimulus for experimental activity
Authors: Sukeľová Tatiana , Velmovská Klára
Published: May 2024

In the article, we focus on the stimulation of pupils' experimental activity using escape rooms. The text includes a division of escape rooms into six genres. In one of the genres, we also included the activity of the escape room created by us. By using the escape room we created, we tried to find out whether escape rooms are a suitable tool for stimulating pupils to do experimental activities in physics classes. We conducted a survey with pupils in the third year of an eight-year high school (13-14 years old). The number of pupils varied (18-19) as the survey was conducted over two weeks. We created a questionnaire consisting of seven questions. The questions were about pupil emotional engagement while doing experiments. We determined the suitability of the teaching tool for stimulating pupils using the answers to the questions from the questionnaire, which are related to the stimulation of experimental activity. We also compared the activities - Escape Room and Experiments given by a question using a comparative questionnaire. From the pilot survey, we found that escape rooms stimulate pupils to experiment more than the commonly used experiments given by a question in physics classes.

Towards Freezing Global Warming
Authors: Phillips Neil , Ayling Sarah , Ratcliffe Norman M. , de Lacy Costello Ben , Foord William , Draper Thomas C. , Plumridge Anthony , Razzaque Jona
Published: May 2024

Numerous policies have been proposed to mitigate the problem of climate change as reducing emissions alone will not be sufficient. Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS), which captures carbon at the source, and Negative Emissions Technologies (NETs), which remove carbon from the atmosphere, are two of the most important strategies currently used to combat global warming. Existing technologies, however, are widely believed to be too expensive to implement on a global scale. The estimated total cost of climate change varies greatly, for example, 178 trillion dollars over the next 50 years. Economists have frequently emphasised the importance of minimising expenditure while meeting climate goals. According to new research, NETs may be more cost-effective and less disruptive than various forms of CCS. We anticipate that NETs based on plant growth and biomass freezing in seawater will be the most cost-effective option for capturing and storing 10 gigatonnes of carbon per year, with an operating cost in the order of $50/t CO2. To reverse global warming, policies at the national, transnational, and international levels will need to be overhauled.
Bridging the Divide: Understanding Language Beliefs and Practices among Caregivers in the Deep South to inform Culturally Responsive Interventions
Authors: Schneider Julie M. , Maldonado Maria
Published: May 2024

The 30 million word gap refers to the disparity in early language exposure between low socioeconomic status (SES) children and their higher SES peers; a gap that is thought to negatively impact children’s language development and future academic success. Although many early intervention approaches have proven effective in promoting language development among low SES children, they often fall short in terms of cultural responsiveness, which in turn affects caregiver buy-in. The purpose of the current study was to characterize the language beliefs and practices of caregivers in the Deep South, a region characterized by high rates of poverty, for the purpose of informing more responsive interventions that take a strengths-based approach and build on caregiver beliefs and practices. Eighty-three caregivers completed a survey examining their priorities for child development, beliefs and practices surrounding language development, and greatest perceived barriers in supporting their child. Language development and problem-solving skills were the most important aspects of child development across all caregivers. Beliefs about how language develops, which contexts caregivers most frequently engage with their children, and who children talk to most differed across racial and SES groups. Despite interventions aimed at modifying low SES caregivers’ language input, low and high SES caregivers did not perceive their own language abilities to be a challenge in supporting their child’s language development. The findings from this study highlight differences in beliefs and practices regarding child development among caregivers from diverse backgrounds, which may in turn differentially impact caregiver buy-in of early interventions.
Inference of social affinity from movement dynamics in 3-6-year-olds
Authors: Cordonier Laurent , Deschenaux Amélie , Gruber Thibaud , Rochat Philippe
Published: May 2024

Existing research shows that preschoolers and even preverbal infants infer social affinity between third parties who move similarly, i.e. who display the same form of movement either synchronously (in tempo) or not. In this research, we tease apart the respective contribution of spatial (form) and temporal movement similarities in children’s social affinity inferences from a third-person perspective. We asked 83 3-6-year-olds to guess a pair of friends among a trio of puppets moving simultaneously. All possible combinations of movement similarity based on form and/or tempo within the trio were tested in seven successive conditions (within subject design). We found no evidence of the use of temporal synchrony to guess the pair of friends, while form similarity begins to be used from age 3 and is systematically used by age 6. A control study with 20 6-year-olds suggests that this inference is primarily social, not a mere generic default guessing.
The Acquisition of Italian as the Second Language of Children with Mandarin or Arabic as First Language
Authors: Guasti Maria Teresa , Saponaro Chiara , Raminelli Letizia
Published: May 2024

In this article, we will discuss two aspects of bilingual acquisition: the mechanism of transfer and the time of actual exposure to the second language. The first consists in the fact that a linguistic property acquired in the first language (L1) can facilitate the acquisition of the same property in the second language (L2). In other words, when acquiring the L2, children can benefit from having already learned analogous properties in the L1. We will then discuss the importance of actual time of exposure in evaluating the acquisition of linguistic competencies. This can only be determined on the basis of detailed questionnaires investigating children’s linguistic environment. We will also talk about the questionnaires available for L2 Italian. To discuss these specific aspects of bilingual acquisition, we will examine some studies involving children with L2 Italian and L1 Arabic or Mandarin, two languages very different from each other. In the first case, we will focus on the acquisition of clitic pronouns which, being present both in Arabic and in Italian, can exemplify the mechanism of transfer. The comparison between the performance in Italian of Arabic-speaking children and that of children with other L1s shows that real exposure to the L2 plays a crucial role in the acquisition of clitics, as well as transfer. Subsequently, we will focus on the L2 Italian of children with L1 Mandarin, via examination of the acquisition of relative clauses and of grammatical number and gender. In these cases, we will also examine the facilitating role of transfer, but we will do so in two slightly different contexts. In the first case, the linguistic properties under scrutiny - i.e., relative clauses and grammatical number - are present in both languages. In the second case, instead, the linguistic aspect analysed - i.e., grammatical gender - is expressed only in one of the two languages, namely, Italian.
Why does Joint Attention Predict Vocabulary Acquisition? The Answer Depends on What Coding Scheme you Use
Authors: Sander Jennifer , Çetinçelik Melis , Zhang Yayun , Rowland Caroline F , Harmon Zara
Published: May 2024

Despite decades of study, we still know less than we would like about the association between joint attention (JA) and language acquisition. This is partly because of disagreements on how to operationalise JA. In this study, we examine the impact of applying two different, influential JA operationalisation schemes to the same dataset of child-caregiver interactions, to determine which yields a better fit to children’s later vocabulary size. Two coding schemes—one defining JA in terms of gaze overlap and one in terms of social aspects of shared attention—were applied to video-recordings of dyadic naturalistic toy-play interactions (N=45). We found that JA was predictive of later production vocabulary when operationalised as shared focus (study 1), but also that its operationalisation as shared social awareness increased its predictive power (study 2). Our results emphasise the critical role of methodological choices in understanding how and why JA is associated with vocabulary size.
Balancing the promise and risks of geroscience
Authors: Cohen Alan A. , Beard John , Ferrucci Luigi , Fülöp Tamàs , Gladyshev Vadim , Moqri  , Rikkert Marcel Olde , Picard Martin
Published: May 2024

The geroscience hypothesis – that by intervening on the basic biological mechanisms of aging we could simultaneously reduce the risks of many chronic diseases and dramatically improve healthspan – has garnered substantial traction and enthusiasm in the past decade. And indeed, if successful, there is enormous potential to reduce the burden of disease in human populations. However, there are also reasons to be cautious, and these have received substantially less attention. Aging differs from traditional disease targets in a number of ways: (1) it is hard to define; (2) the biology of aging has likely been carefully calibrated by natural selection to balance multiple trade-offs, which are still poorly understood; (3) interventions may need to start decades before all benefits and harms are apparent; and (4) it is hard to disambiguate the cumulative effects of poor lifestyles from aging, but interventions for the two could be different. Together, these challenges, and the complex and interdependent nature of the underlying biology, mean that interventions that result in improvements in function or for certain biomarkers of aging and appear beneficial in the short term might still have a substantial chance of being harmful in the long-term, particularly if the interventions are acting on mechanisms that trade off short-term benefits for long-term harms. While some such risk is present in any medical intervention, we believe it is particularly pronounced for aging biology because the mechanisms targeted tend to be fundamental mechanisms of cell biology that may pervasively affect the whole organism. We propose a number of solutions – hallmarks to guide geroscience interventions – that should help minimize these risks while helping make progress.
Sensemaking Networks: Transforming Social Media into a Sensemaking Layer for Science
Authors: Tamari Ronen , Ospina Pepo , Oriel Shahar , Finck Wesley
Published: May 2024

Sensemaking Networks is a project aiming to address three interrelated limitations of the current science publishing and communication infrastructure: (1) poor reach and feedback, (2) knowledge fragmentation, and (3) rigid formats. To address these issues, Sensemaking Networks combine two promising trends in science publishing and communication: science social media and semantic nanopublishing. While science social media significantly impacts scientific processes and public engagement, it lacks formal recognition and accessibility. On the other hand, nanopublications offer the benefits of formal scientific publishing and machine-readable knowledge representation. Their integration represents a promising direction that could serve as a transformative sensemaking layer for science, enhancing the collective synthesis, dissemination, and evaluation of research.
Which cognitive tests are used to examine the short-term effect of physical activity on cognition in healthy adults aged 50 and older? - a systematic review
Authors: De Block Fien , Van Dyck Delfien , Deforche Benedicte , Crombez Geert , Poppe Louise
Published: May 2024

Objectives: The review aims to create an overview of current evidence on the short-term effect of physical activity (PA) on cognition in adults aged 50 and older, focusing on which cognitive domains, cognitive tests, and outcomes are used, and whether effects were demonstrated.Methods: The MEDLINE, Embase, and Cochrane Central databases were searched for articles assessing the short-term effect of PA on cognition in healthy adults aged 50 and older. Results: Forty-two articles were included, using a variety of protocols. Executive functioning was the most frequently assessed cognitive domain. Overall, thirty-five different cognitive tests were adminis-tered, among which many variations and modifications were found. Furthermore, the reported out-comes varied greatly, even when using the same test. Across tests, 45.3% of the reported outcomes demonstrated an improvement in cognition shortly after PA. Time-based outcomes demonstrated an improvement more often than accuracy-based outcomes. However, because of the large variety among protocols and often insufficiently nuanced reporting, results should be interpreted carefully.Conclusions: The short-term effect of PA on executive functioning in older adults has been examined frequently, but research in other cognitive domains is limited. The variety among study protocols and test outcomes highlights the need for more rigorous research and reporting.
A Tentative Roadmap for Consensus-Building Processes
Authors: Leising Daniel , Liesefeld Heinrich R , Buecker Susanne , Glöckner Andreas , Lortsch Stefanie
Published: May 2024

Like all other branches of science, psychology is constantly faced with the task of establishing some level of preliminary consensus over term use, methods, and findings, while at the same time leaving open the door to challenging and revising that consensus when necessary. Suboptimal solutions in this regard are likely to lead to inefficient use of resources, and to impede the cumulative acquisition of knowledge. The current culture and incentive structure in academia does not encourage systematic consensus work enough, and there are no clear guidelines as to how this crucial kind of work is to be engaged with. We present a tentative roadmap intended to facilitate systematic consensus building processes (CBPs). It contains a long and diverse list of issues that researchers undertaking consensus work may want to consider before and during a CBP. In discussing these issues, we point to potential complications and offer recommendations on how to avoid them. This mostly concerns questions of communication, transparency, fairness, integrity and legitimacy. We assume that dealing with these topics explicitly and from the get-go will substantially increase the likelihood of a CBP to be successful.
Self-referential processing interacted with subjective social status in school to predict internalizing psychopathology in early adolescence: Distinct patterns for social anxiety and depressive symptoms
Authors: Tan Jaron Xe Yung , Liu Pan
Published: May 2024

During the transition into adolescence, internalizing symptoms become increasingly prevalent. One identified risk factor for internalizing psychopathology is youths’ subjective social status (SSS) in school, which refers to youths’ subjective perception of their position relative to peers in school. However, it remains unclear to what extent the SSS-symptom association may be moderated by self-referential processing – another construct that undergoes significant development during early adolescence. We examined the interaction between school-based SSS and self-referential processing (indexed by behavioral and neurophysiological measures) in predicting social anxiety and depressive symptoms among emerging adolescents. A community sample of 115 nine-to-12-year-old children (66 girls, Mean/SD=11.00/1.16 years) completed an EEG self-referent encoding task (SRET) and completed questionnaires on school-based SSS and symptoms of social anxiety and depression. We found an interaction between self-referential processing and school-based SSS in predicting social anxiety: higher school-based SSS predicted greater social anxiety symptoms for those with lower positive SRET scores. There were no significant effects for depressive symptoms. These findings suggest that school-based SSS and self-referential processing may be differentially associated with social anxiety and depressive symptoms in early adolescents. Future longitudinal work is warranted to better understand the underlying mechanisms of these associations.
A Systematic Review of Interventions for Acalculia Following a Stroke or Brain-injury
Authors: Benn Yael , Hussain Maryam , Longley1 Verity , Conroy Paul
Published: May 2024

Acalculia is an acquired deficit in numerical skills following a brain-injury, which impacts independence (traveling, managing money, counting medications) and wellbeing. It is estimated to affect 30%-65% of brain-injury survivors.In the past, there have been four reviews (two of which were systematic) covering the available intervention for acalculia, however, all of these reviews have missed some studies, and the last systematic review is over 10 years old.The current work had systematically searched Web of Knowledge (WoK) and UMI Dissertation Abstracts for studies describing interventions for Acalculia published up until 29th of September 2023. To be included, studies had to be written in English and involve an intervention for acalculia that occurred as a result of a stroke or a brain injury, to directly address numerical difficulties, and to report the outcomes of the intervention, with no limit on the type or timing of measures. The search identified only 16 publications that describe interventions for acalculia, with a total of N=31 patients, and one unpublished public report of app-based intervention involving 18 patients. The majority of interventions (10) were designed to improve relearning of multiplication tables, followed by those designed to improve transcoding skills (4). All identified interventions were delivered individually (i.e., no group interventions), and were largely tailored to individual patients. The most common method used by interventions was intense repetition (‘drill’), and the majority of interventions were conducted in French or German. We found only one intervention in non-European language (Japanese), despite evidence of linguistic effects on performance across languages and cultures. While all interventions were effective, there were important differences in the transferability of improvement from trained to untrained problems. Overall, the review highlights the scarcity of evidence of interventions for acalculia, despite the high prevalence and devastating impact of the condition. It also highlights obvious gaps, and makes suggestions for further investigation in order to improve the quality of interventions and outcomes for patients.

Introduction Pathways of Invasive Alien Plants in the Lake Cluster of Pokhara Valley, Nepal
Authors: Pathak Hom N , Bhuju Dinesh R , Shrestha Bharat B
Published: May 2024

The Lake Cluster of the Pokhara Valley (LCPV), a Ramsar site, has been invaded by several invasive alien plant species (IAPS), yet the introduction pathways of these species remain unknown. In this paper, the possible introduction pathways and invasion history of five wetland IAPS of the LCPV have been identified and reported for analysis. Direct field observations were combined with data obtained from the questionnaire survey with the local residents to identify introduction pathways and invasion history. Among five invasive alien plants, Pontederia crassipes and Pistia stratiotes were introduced as ornamental plants that escaped to wetlands and established their populations during 1980s and 1990s respectively. Similarly, Ipomoea carnea subsp fistulosa was introduced during the 1990s for fencing and soil bioengineering purposes. It is highly likely that Leersia hexandra and Alternanthera philoxeroides were introduced accidentally as none of the local residents interviewed could explain the purpose of their introduction. The local residents have noticed the occurrence of L. hexandra for >50 years while A. philoxeroides might have reached to the LCPV sometime between 2015 and 2020. The results suggest the wetland IAPS have been introduced to the LCPV both intentionally as well as accidentally, and that the prioritizing pathway management can prevent their future introductions.
Indigenous Environmental Consciousness and Life Interconnections: The Aesthetics of Tamang Songs by Tamba
Authors: Lama Kumari
Published: May 2024

The indigenous communities remain in close, harmonious, and respectful relationship with nature. They acknowledge nature as nourishing mother and a source of energy that gives life to each and every being on earth. The Tamang, one of the indigenous communities of Nepal, shares intricately closer ties with nature. They worship nature and wish to remain under the ever oozing blessing of mother earth. The popular folk narratives and myths among the Tamangs illustrate immense respect and appreciation of nature, which are mostly sung by Tamba, the spokesperson of Tamang community. This paper examines eco-consciousness of Tamang community in the selected songs of Tamba, which are taken from Shantabir Lama (Pakhrin)’s book Tamba kaiten whai rimthim [Ancestral custom and songs of the Tamangs] (2014). The paper focuses on analyzing Tamangs’ perception of nature and significance of their indigenous knowledge in terms of nature-human harmonious bonding. The paper uses textual analysis to examine the selected songs of Tamba, incorporating the concept of Tamang knowledge and aesthetics to shed light on eco-consciousness of the Tamangs of Nepal.

Published: May 2024

This paper explored the incorporation of entrepreneurial content in the industrial design curriculum in universities in Southwest Nigeria, with a specific focus on textile design. Acknowledging the landscape of the global textile industry and the cultural significance of textiles in Southwest Nigeria, the study examined the existing industrial design curriculum, highlighting the level of consideration given to entrepreneurship in the development of the curriculum.  The study adopted the content analysis approach to investigate the entrepreneurial content of textile design in the industrial design curriculum. The industrial design curriculum of the Federal University of Technology, Akure (FUTA) was selected because FUTA is the only university offering the industrial design curriculum in the region. The curriculum was analyzed across all levels, the entrepreneurial courses were highlighted based on the course synopsis while other courses were classified as general courses. The study revealed that entrepreneurship was given good consideration during the development of the curriculum. It was therefore recommended that the curriculum be updated regularly to ensure it remains relevant and meets the entrepreneurial needs of the students.
Citizen Charter as Governance Reform Initiative for Quality Services
Authors: Kaphle Sushmita
Published: May 2024

The Citizen Charter (CC) is implemented to enhance the capabilities of local government in delivering services to people. It represents the official commitment to providing quality services to the public, and all service recipients need to have clear and concise information about the services and goods being provided. At the heart of the discussion on governance reform and the CC lies the question of whether public institutions foster the creation, dissemination, and processing of knowledge on the CC, which could ultimately lead to improved service delivery quality. Thus, this study examines the role of institutional factors such as procedural transparency and clarity, timely service delivery, and grievance handling systems in municipal service delivery post-implementation of the CC. The philosophical underpinning of this study adopts a pragmatic approach, utilizing a sequential explanatory mixed method. The findings reveal that there is increasing procedural transparency, and timely service delivery is gradually improving. However, the grievance handling system within the municipality still appears to be weak. It is evident from the study that the implementation of the Citizen Charter as a governance reform practice must address issues of reliability, responsiveness, and accuracy (RRA) to ensure quality service delivery (QSD) at the local level.
Social Security Allowances to Single Women: A Case Study
Authors: Kharel Suman , Parajuli Chandra , Pradhan Prajwal Man
Published: May 2024

This paper assesses the impacts of social security allowances provided by the Government of Nepal to single women and the various associated aspects. This study was based on the socio[1]economic status of single women, the nature of tasks performed, and the perception of society and family towards them, which were observed and studied in Phedikhola Rural Municipality, Syangja, using descriptive research methods and related tools such as semi-structured questionnaires, key informant interviews, and observations. Similarly, accessible relevant published or unpublished materials, existing legal provisions, and information available via online means were also referred to as secondary sources. A higher percentage of single women took part in decision[1]making in household non-financial affairs, but involvement in financial affairs was relatively less. Most of them were occasionally invited to social functions and were relatively more trusted by society. The study concluded that the social security allowance can be an important step in uplifting the socio-economic condition of single women. However, the allowance amount needs to be increased to help single women be more independent, and it is also crucial to ensure that the allowances are received by single women and that the expenses are at her discretion.

The Intersection of ‘Hindu’, ‘Independence,’ and ‘Sovereignty’ in the Nepali Public Discourse of the 1920s
Authors: Dhakal Tika Prasad
Published: May 2024

This study analyzes the public discourse on Nepal around the 1923 treaty which rested on its central theme of reassuring Nepal’s independence and sovereignty in the comity of nation-states, studying Nepali national imaginative elements of statehood that unravels intricacies of history for the present discourse of Nepali state in a substantial way. The aim is to unpack the treaty’s reception and assess its consequences in shaping Nepali ‘state’ discourse, shedding fresh light on a historical event that has remained largely understudied. Once a treaty is signed, it becomes public property, capable of igniting change in the behavior of the signing nations or the lives of their citizens, or both. Examining how such changes manifested in the public discourse in Nepal and beyond after the 1923 treaty provides valuable insights into the formative democratic space in the country. For this, it employs a triangulation of primary sources from Nepal's domestic discourse as chronicled in the Gorkhapatra. The second set of data is drawn from the sporadic and emergent Nepali media landscape of the 1920s, primarily based in India. Furthermore, a third set of sources is assembled from English-language newspapers from India and the United Kingdom that reported on the 1923 treaty as it unfolded. This approach, hitherto unapplied in the study of this treaty, provides a comprehensive understanding of the public discourse surrounding it.
