Influence of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi on biological control of coffee leaf rust (Hemileia vastatrix BERK. & BROOME)
Authors: Vallejos-Torres Geomar , Arévalo Luis , Cáceres Benjamín , Solís Reynaldo
Published: January 2023

Inoculating plants with arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) protects host plants against biotic stressors such as diseases. Therefore, the objective of this study was to evaluate the influence of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi in the biological control of coffee leaf rust (CLR) infections. The research involved two varieties of coffee (Caturra and Pache) and three inocula of AMF: Moyobamba (Acaulospora mellea, Acaulospora sp.1, Glomus geosporum, Glomus sp.1, and Glomus sp.2), El Dorado (Acaulospora rugosa, Acaulospora spinosissima, Acaulospora lacunosa, Glomus sinuosum and Ambispora appendicula) and Huallaga (Acaulospora mellea, Acaulospora sp.1, Acaulospora sp.2, Glomus macrocarpum and Glomus sp.2), in addition to a control treatment without application of AMF (non-AMF). Inoculation of vegetatively propagated coffee plants with AMF was observed to induce tolerance to CLR. The incidence of CLR in non-AMF coffee plants was 43.7 %, while in the coffee plants subjected to the inocula Moyobamba, El Dorado and Huallaga, the incidences were 22.1, 22.7 and 13.2 %, respectively. Likewise, the severity in non-AMF coffee plants was 34.8 %, while in the coffee plants subjected to the three kinds of inocula, the severities were 21.1, 20.4 and 12.0 %, respectively. Thus, mycorrhizal inoculation of coffee plants at the nursery stage reduces the negative effect of CLR infection after the plants are taken to field conditions, representing a sustainable option for their biological control.
Shade management and pruning in two coffee varieties vs. plant growth and leaf rust in the Peruvian Amazon
Authors: Gonzales Raúl , Arévalo Luis , Solis Reynaldo
Published: January 2023

Coffee leaf rust (CLR) is a fungal infection which is devastating susceptible coffee plantations throughout the South American region in the last years. The objective of this study was to analyze the effects of shade trees management and pruning in two coffee varieties against coffee leaf rust in the Peruvian Amazon. The experimental design was a randomized complete block with factorial scheme 2A×2B×4C with 16 treatments and four repetitions, making a total of 64 experimental units, in which each experimental unit had 16 coffee plants. The studied factors were agroforestry system (A), coffee varieties (B), and pruning methods (C). The data were statistically examined by analysis of variance and mean comparisons using Tukey test. It was found that plant growth was favored by the use Inga shade and recepa pruning in Typica variety. Also, the use of polyculture-shaded coffee with about 40 % of shadow, and recepa, a pruning method which consists of cutting the stem of the coffee plants at 40 cm from the ground, reduce the incidence and severity of CLR in coffee plants. The incidence and severity of CLR was lower in the Typica variety as comparted to Pache variety. This study confirms that a shadow management and pruning coffee plants stimulate the growth of new branches and reduce incidence and severity of CLR in coffee plantations.

Authors: Aleynikova T. V. , Kozlovsky V. I.
Published: January 2023

Objective. To develop a method for isolating a group of patients with arterial hypertension of the II degree with an increased risk of the total number of myocardial infarctions, strokes, lethal outcomes from cardiovascular diseases (CVD) in the next 1-3 years, taking into account the assessment of heart rate variability and heart rate turbulence parameters.

Materials and methods. In the course of a prospective clinical study 214 patients with arterial hypertension (AH) of the II degree aged 35 to 70 (57,7±7,6) years and 26 practically healthy individuals aged 30-60 (51,7±7,7) years were examined. All were given a comprehensive examination, including Holter monitoring (HM), electrocardiography (ECG), echocardiography (EchoCG). Statistical processing of the results was carried out using the “Statistica 10.0” software.

Results. The total number of myocardial infarctions, strokes, and lethal outcomes registered in patients with arterial hypertension of the II degree over a period of 2.6±1.3 years was estimated, the factors associated with their development were determined. A method has been developed to identify a group of patients with arterial hypertension of the II degree who have an increased risk of developing adverse cardiovascular events over the next 1-3 years, it has been shown that its sensitivity is 90.9%; specificity is 95.8%.

 Conclusion. It is shown that the use of heart rate variability (HRV) and heart rate turbulence (HRT) parameters provides a significant increase in the sensitivity and specificity of the identification of a group with an increased risk of developing the total number of strokes, myocardial infarctions and lethal outcomes in the next 1-3 years.

Authors: Ivanou S. A. , Zinovkin D. A. , Khorov O. G. , Pohozhay V. V. , Ivanou V. S.
Published: January 2023

Objective. To compare the wound healing after implantation of the freshly frozen allogeneic cartilage and the autogenic cartilage in a cutaneous flap.

Materials and methods. Two groups of eighteen non-breed white lab rats weighing 180-200 g of both genders were studied. Each specimen had a plastic material with the inclusion of a skin flap and cartilage graft formed. Group 1 used the animal’s own cartilage, group 2 used freshly frozen allogenic cartilage. Histological examination of the flap and graft preparations was carried out on the 7th, 14th and 21st days after the intervention.

Results. Semi-quantitative evaluation of inflammation and tissue reaction after cartilage autograft and allograft implantation was carried out. A gradual decrease in the evidence of the inflammatory reaction and the formation of a fibrous capsule around the implant during the study period was registered. The comparative analysis revealed no statistically significant differences in each of the indicators.

Conclusion. Implantation of an allograft from freshly frozen cartilage has no negative effect on skin flap wound healing in the experiment. Freshly frozen allogenic cartilage can be used for reconstructive interventions on a par with autologous material.
Secondary prevention of osteoporotic fractures in the Republic of Belarus: DALY-analysis and cost-effectiveness
Authors: Ramanau H. N. , Rudenka E. V. , Platoshkin E. N. , Ramaniva A. A.
Published: January 2023

Objective. To calculate the number of lost (including healthy) years of life in patients aged 50 years and older with proximal femur fractures (PF) in the Republic of Belarus based on primary incidence data and evaluate the cost-effectiveness of the therapeutic model for the secondary prevention of osteoporotic fractures.

Materials and methods. A comprehensive assessment of health losses was carried out using DALY analysis based on our own epidemiological data on the primary incidence of PF and is presented in years of life lost to due to premature mortality and the years lived with a disability. The alendronic acid (AA) prescription after a primary PF fracture was proposed for secondary prevention of PF fractures. The cost-effectiveness was calculated based on the cost of one saved (including healthy) year in relation to the national GDP per capita.

Results. In the Republic of Belarus taking into account sex and age structure of the population it is expected to have a total of 2867 PF fractures in men (558 atal cases during the first year) and 7921 (2382 fatal cases) in women per year. The total number of lost (including healthy) years of life due to osteoporotic PF fractures was 8719.0 in men and 8169.9 in women. The administration of AA after PF fracture will save 1806.11 years of healthy life. The cost of one saved (incl. healthy) year was 1044.2 BYN/year for men (6.5% of GDP per capita) and 1720.1 BYN/year for women (10.8% of GDP per capita).

Conclusion. Prescription of antiresorptive therapy in the form of alendronic acid to men and women aged 50 years and older after a osteoporotic PF fracture for prevention of recurrent osteoporotic fractures is highly cost-effective and can be considered when assessing the threshold of intervention in treating patients with osteoporosis in the Republic of Belarus.

Published: January 2023

Este artigo apresenta um estudo teórico cujo objetivo é auxiliar pesquisadores iniciantes apresentando soluções para algumas dúvidas sobre diferentes modos de delinear pesquisas acadêmicas. Para tanto, foi proposto a seis ingressantes de um curso de doutorado em Educação em Ciências e Matemática de uma universidade privada localizada em Porto Alegre, RS, que elaborassem dúvidas que ainda possuíam sobre pesquisas acadêmicas. Ao todo, 53 questões foram elaboradas, entre as quais foram identificadas nove sobre delineamento de pesquisas acadêmicas. Estas foram agrupadas conforme similaridades entre seus significados, emergindo assim três categorias: níveis de pesquisas acadêmicas; etapas da pesquisa; alguns tipos de pesquisas. Conclui-se que as pesquisas acadêmicas podem ser classificadas em monografia, dissertação e tese para diferenciar o grau de graduado, mestre ou doutor, respectivamente. Também, percebeu-se que, quanto melhor delimitados estiverem o problema e os objetivos de pesquisa, mais claro será o delineamento das demais etapas da pesquisa. Ainda, verificou-se que, enquanto pesquisas bibliográficas utilizam como fonte investigações já publicadas e legitimadas pela comunidade científica, as pesquisas narrativas e suas variantes preocupam-se mais em narrar as experiências e as visões de mundo de grupos sociais menos reconhecidos.
Reconciling different approaches to quantifying land surface temperature impacts of afforestation using satellite observations
Authors: Wang Huanhuan , Yue Chao , Luyssaert Sebastiaan
Published: January 2023

Abstract. Satellite observations have been widely used to examine
afforestation effects on local surface temperature at large spatial scales.
Different approaches, which potentially lead to differing definitions of the
afforestation effect, have been used in previous studies. Despite their
large differences, the results of these studies have been used in climate
model validation and cited in climate synthesis reports. Such differences
have been simply treated as observational uncertainty, which can be an order
of magnitude bigger than the signal itself. Although the fraction of the
satellite pixel actually afforested has been noted to influence the
magnitude of the afforestation effect, it remains unknown whether it is a key
factor which can reconcile the different approaches. Here, we provide a
synthesis of three influential approaches (one estimates the actual effect
and the other two the potential effect) and use large-scale afforestation
over China as a test case to examine whether the different approaches can be
reconciled. We found that the actual effect (ΔTa) often relates
to incomplete afforestation over a medium-resolution satellite pixel (1 km).
ΔTa increased with the afforestation fraction, which explained
89 % of its variation. One potential effect approach quantifies the impact
of quasi-full afforestation (ΔTp1), whereas the other
quantifies the potential impact of full afforestation (ΔTp2) by
assuming a shift from 100 % openland to 100 % forest coverage. An
initial paired-sample t test shows that ΔTa<ΔTp1<ΔTp2 for the cooling effect of
afforestation ranging from 0.07 to 1.16 K. But when all three methods are
normalized for full afforestation, the observed range in surface cooling
becomes much smaller (0.79 to 1.16 K). Potential cooling effects have a
value in academic studies where they can be used to establish an envelope of
effects, but their realization at large scales is challenging given its
nature of scale dependency. The reconciliation of the different approaches
demonstrated in this study highlights the fact that the afforestation
fraction should be accounted for in order to bridge different estimates of
surface cooling effects in policy evaluation.
Compositional variation and zoning of epidote supergroup minerals in the Campi Flegrei geothermal field, Naples, Italy
Authors: Belkin Harvey E. , De Vivo Benedetto
Published: January 2023

Abstract. Authigenic epidote supergroups are an abundant accessory mineral in the calcium–aluminum silicate and thermometamorphic hydrothermal zones of the Campi Flegrei (Phlegraean Fields) geothermal field located west of Naples, Italy. Geothermal exploration for high-enthalpy fluid produced drill core and cuttings to ∼ 3 km depth in the Mofete (MF1, MF2, MF5) and San Vito (SV1, SV3) wells, where measured down-hole temperatures of epidote-bearing samples range from 270–350 ∘C and from 285–390 ∘C for the Mofete and San Vito areas, respectively. Two epidote group (epidote, clinozoisite), some rare earth element (REE)-bearing, and two allanite group (allanite-(Ce), ferriallanite-(Ce)) minerals were identified by electron microprobe. The allanite group is light rare earth element (LREE, La–Gd) enriched, Ce dominant, with REE + Y that varies from 30.59 wt %–14.32 wt %. Complex compositional variation such as oscillatory, sector, and complex (mixed) zoning is a ubiquitous feature observed in the epidote group, which occurs as veins, in vugs, as various size masses, and as isolated single crystals. Compositional zoning is caused by variable Fe ↔ Al3+ substitution and XFe [(Fe3+) / (Fe3++ Al)] ranges from 0.06–0.33 (Fe3+=0.185–0.967 apfu). XFe tends to decrease with increasing temperature in the Mofete wells, but its distribution is more complex in the San Vito wells, which records recent fault displacement. The variety and complexity of the epidote supergroup zoning suggest rapid fluid composition and/or intensive parameter fluctuations in the local hydrothermal system.
A contribution to the quantification of crustal shortening and kinematics of deformation across the Western Andes ( ∼ 20–22° S)
Authors: Habel Tania , Simoes Martine , Lacassin Robin , Carrizo Daniel , Aguilar German
Published: January 2023

Abstract. The Andes are an emblematic active Cordilleran orogen.
Mountain building in the Central Andes (∼20∘ S)
started by the Late Cretaceous to early Cenozoic along the subduction margin
and propagated eastward. In general, the structures sustaining the uplift of
the western flank of the Andes are dismissed, and their contribution to
mountain building remains poorly constrained. Here, we focus on two sites
along the Western Andes at ∼20–22∘ S in the
Atacama desert, where structures are well exposed. We combine mapping from
high-resolution satellite images with field observations and numerical
trishear forward modeling to provide quantitative constraints on the
kinematic evolution of the investigated field sites. When upscaling our
local field interpretations to the regional scale, we identify two main
structures: (1) the Andean Basement Thrust, a west-vergent thrust system
placing Andean Paleozoic basement over Mesozoic strata, and (2) a series of
west-vergent thrusts pertaining to the West Andean Thrust System, deforming
primarily Mesozoic units. From our interpreted sections, we estimate that
both structures together accommodate at least ∼6–9 km of
shortening across the sole investigated ∼7–17 km wide field
sites. This multi-kilometric shortening represents only a fraction of the
total shortening accommodated across the whole Western Andes. The timing of
the main deformation recorded in the folded Mesozoic series can be bracketed
between ∼68 and ∼29 Ma – and possibly between
∼68 and ∼44 Ma – from dated deformed
geological layers, with a subsequent significant slowing-down of shortening
rates. Even though the structures forming the Western Andes only absorbed a
small fraction of the total shortening across the whole orogen, their
contribution was relatively significant at the earliest stages of
Andean mountain building before deformation proceeded eastward.
Cranial Ultrasound: A Novel Approach of Neuroimaging in Preterm Infants Suffering from Perinatal Birth Injury
Authors: Fatima Saba , Goraya Amber , Qureshi Abid Ali , Azhar Hina
Published: January 2023

Introduction: Preterm birth is a common cause of neonatal mortality with an additional burden of adverse neurodevelopmental outcomes. It is caused by different factors that can be either perinatal, natal or postnatal leading to white matter injury/intracranial hemorrhages. These lesions can be readily assessed by cranial ultrasound which provides cost-effective, radiation-free, bedside imaging. Conclusion: Cranial ultrasound is an innovative method to assess brain injury in preterm infants. Ultrasonographic evaluation of preterm brain is recommended as early as possible after birth with interval follow up. Three distinct patterns of brain injury can be seen in preterm infants: Periventricular leukomalacia (PVL), Germinal Matrix-Intraventricular hemorrhage (GMH-IVH) and cerebellar hemorrhages. Germinal matrix hemorrhage is found to be most common pattern with cystic PVL being next among three patterns of brain injury. Ultrasound is an operator-dependent technique with poor visualization of few abnormalities on two-dimensional images. The limitation of conventional ultrasonography opens up new aspects of 3 D scanning with better imaging outcomes

Published: January 2023

This study evaluated the use of the Model of Engaging Communities Collaboratively (MECC) to guide the Jandu Yani U (For All Families) project, in which the Triple P – Positive Parenting Program was collaboratively adapted for use in very remote Aboriginal communities in Western Australia. The communities’ responses to the MECC processes were evaluated through interview-style or selfadministered surveys, semiformal interviews, focus group discussions and storytelling. The MECC processes were acceptable across all groups (mean score 3.86 on a 5-point acceptability scale). Qualitative data supported and gave context to the quantitative findings, demonstrating the acceptability and utility of the approach. The MECC provided a valuable framework for Aboriginal community engagement, program dissemination and implementation of research.

Krakowska wersja Janowskiego "Miraculum" - orginał czy kopia?
Authors: Albiniak Andrzej
Published: January 2023

W dotychczasowych badaniach nad historią religijną ośrodku kultowego w Janowie Lubelskim przyjmowano, że rękopis obecnie znajdujący się w Archiwum Prowincjalnym Ojców Dominikanów w Krakowie stanowi oryginalne Miraculum spisywane od 1670 r. Tezę tę oparto na podobieństwie (choć twierdzono, że identyczności) treści rękopisu krakowskiego i janowskich. Nie uwzględniono w badaniach, czasu wywiezienia rękopisu znajdującego się obecnie w Krakowskie, które nastąpiło około 1840 r. W 1845 r. wykonano kopię z rękopisu znajdującego się ówcześnie w janowskim konwencie dominikanów, a z niej kolejne (zachowane) kopie. Znajdowanie się rękopisu krakowskiego już na początku latach czterdziestych XIX w. poza konwentem janowskim wyklucza możliwość wykonania zeń kopii w 1845 r. Rękopis krakowski nie jest w świetle ustaleń chronologicznych oryginałem janowskiego Miraculum, tylko kopią wykonaną po 1802 r.
"Oby Bóg otworzył ci raj, jak ty nam otworzyłeś drogę do pogan"
Authors: Diemjaniuk Bożena
Published: January 2023

W Liście do króla Henryka Brunon z Kwerfurtu zdaje relację ze swojej misjonarskiej działalności. Opowiada m.in. o wyprawie do Pieczyngów i o pobycie u „władcy Rusów”. Brunon wprawdzie nie wymienia imienia ruskiego księcia, ale przyjmuje się, że chodzi o Włodzimierza Wielkiego. Nad tym „ruskim” epizodem w życiu grafa z Kwerfurtu zazwyczaj przechodzimy do porządku dziennego. Kwitujemy bardzo często jednym zdaniem: „Brunon bawił na Rusi ponad miesiąc”. Czy rzeczywiście pobyt u Włodzimierza był gościną? Czy misjonarz dobrowolnie przybył do ruskiego władcy, czy został do niego siłą doprowadzony? Niniejszy tekst jest próbą nowego odczytania relacji Brunona. Autorka, analizując kluczowe, jej zdaniem, słowa oraz porównując sprawozdanie misjonarza z jego sposobem opowiadania o innych wydarzeniach, dochodzi do wniosku, że Brunon w dyplomatyczny sposób przekazuje czytelnikowi informację, iż spotkało go na Rusi coś w rodzaju aresztu – ograniczono jego swobodę w poruszaniu się i przetrzymywano „wbrew woli przez jeden miesiąc”.

Nieznany raport prymasa Augusta Hlonda o sytuacji Kościoła katolickiego w Polsce po przeprowadzeniu wyborów do Sejmu Ustawodawczego z 19 I 1947 r.
Authors: Krucki Łukasz
Published: January 2023

Wybory do Sejmu Ustawodawczego, które zostały przeprowadzone w Polsce w dniu 19 I 1947 r., stanowiły ważny element w przejmowaniu władzy przez komunistów. Będąc perfidnie sfałszowane, odsuwały od władzy oponentów, w tym główną partię opozycyjną – Polskie Stronnictwo Ludowe. Pozbywszy się konkurentów Polska Partia Robotnicza i jej stronnicy: Polska Partia Socjalistyczna, Stronnictwo Ludowe i Stronnictwo Demokratyczne mogli bez skrępowania realizować wytyczne nadsyłane z Moskwy. Prymas Hlond, obserwator zachodzących w kraju przeobrażeń, sporządził w dniu 10 II 1947 r. raport o sytuacji Kościoła w Polsce, który przesłał do Watykanu cztery dni później. Zawarł w nim opinie odnoszące się do kwestii kościelnych, jak i spraw politycznych oraz społecznych. Dzięki temu dokument stał się niezwykle ważnym świadectwem, choć dotąd pozostawał w nauce nieznanym. Raport, sporządzony w języku włoskim, został niedawno odnaleziony w Archiwum Archidiecezjalnym w Gnieźnie w trakcie opracowywania powojennych Akt Prymasa Polski. Zidentyfikowany, został przetłumaczony i przygotowany do druku przez ks. Łukasza Kruckiego.
Historia organów w najstarszych polskich klasztorach sióstr klarysek
Authors: Matog Piotr
Published: January 2023

Artykuł stanowi próbę szczegółowego opracowania historii organów w dwóch najstarszych polskich klasztorach sióstr klarysek: w Starym Sączu i Krakowie. Pierwsza wzmianka o organach w kościele klasztornym w Starym Sączu pochodzi z 1599 r. W 1618 r. zawarto umowę na wybudowanie nowego instrumentu z organmistrzem Andrzejem ze Lwowa. W 1698 r. Krzysztof Lenartowicz zobowiązał się do powiększenia organów o sekcję pozytywu. Instrument ten, znajdujący się w prezbiterium, został zlikwidowany w 1889 r. Na początku roku następnego ukończono w nawie głównej montaż nowych organów, zbudowanych przez firmę Gebrüder Rieger z Jägerndorf. Instrument ten istnieje do chwili obecnej, a jego osobliwością są dwa stoły gry: jeden dla świeckiego organisty (po stronie nawy głównej), drugi dla siostry zakonnej (w chórze zakonnym). Przy świątyni znajduje się kaplica św. Kingi. W 1748 r. na jej wyposażeniu znajdował się pozytyw, natomiast obecny instrument pochodzi z 1897 r. i również jest dziełem firmy Gebrüder Rieger z Jägerndorf. Na przestrzeni wieków pozytywy istniały również w innych miejscach starosądeckiego klasztoru: w kaplicy zwanej „Loretem” oraz w chórze zakonnym. Do dziś w klasztornych zbiorach zachowały się dwa niezwykle cenne pozytywy przenośne, pochodzące zapewne z epoki baroku. W kościele św. Andrzeja przy klasztorze sióstr klarysek w Krakowie instrument istniał już w połowie XV w. Nowe organy powstały między 1666 a 1675 r. Kolejny instrument, zlokalizowany w prezbiterium, został wybudowany w latach 1776-1779 przez Jana (?) Sitarskiego z Krakowa. Organy były kilkakrotnie naprawiane. Do chwili obecnej zachował się jedynie rokokowy prospekt po tym instrumencie. Istniejące za prospektem obecne organy zostały ukończone w 1908 r. przez Aleksandra i Kazimierza Żebrowskich z Krakowa. Oprócz instrumentu w prezbiterium kościół klasztorny był wyposażony w pozytyw stojący na chórze zakonnym. Pierwsza wzmianka o naprawie tamtejszego instrumentu pochodzi z 1778 r., natomiast ok. 1793 r. chór zakonny wyposażono w nowy pozytyw, kilkakrotnie remontowany, a następnie w 1909 r. przekazany do kościoła „na Puszczy” w Dukli. Przedstawione w artykule dzieje organów świadczą o bogatej kulturze muzycznej zakonu sióstr klarysek.

Monetary and fiscal policy are both macroeconomic instruments used to govern and have a large impact on a country's economy, businesses, production and consumption. The objective of the study is to evaluate the comparative analysis of fiscal and monetary policy in Pakistan. For this purpose, an autoregressive distributed lag (ARDL) model was used, which showed the significant impact of monetary and fiscal policy on enhancing economic growth. Data was obtained from World Development Indicator (WDI) from 1990 to 2020. In this study, two models have been estimated using the Gross Domestic Product (GDP) as a dependent variable and Development Expenditures, Gross Fixed Capital Formation, Labor Force Participation, Corruption, Total Tax, Trade openness, Broad Money (M2), Governmental Consumption Expenditure as independent variables. The results showed that monetary policy positively impacts Pakistan’s economy. Also, the study found that fiscal policy affects Pakistan’s economy positively. But the study reveals that monetary policy is more powerful in promoting economic growth in Pakistan. So, we will suggest that promoting the monetary policy in the banking sector would provide a suitable investment atmosphere through the maintenance of inflationary rates, interest rates, and lending rates to endorse and confirm economic growth, sustainability, solidity, and progress in Pakistan.
ADMINISTRATIVE AND JUDICIAL FRAMEWORKS FOR ARMED NON-STATE ACTORS' LAW ENFORCEMENT AND ORGANIZATIONAL STRUCTURES
Authors: Adv. Ahmad Talha
Published: January 2023

As a result of the global political turmoil caused by the numerous military conflicts that have broken out over the course of the past several decades, a huge number of groups have emerged with the goal of retaking large swaths of territory, which they then rule. Due to the fact that the legality of their administration is in question, there is an urgent need to investigate whether or not these groups are able to legitimately dispense justice during these conflicts and whether or not they actually adhere to the norms of law. According to International Humanitarian Law, it is legitimate for even ANSAs to administer justice since it is essential that everyone receive justice and because it should not matter who delivers that justice as long as it has been done. This is due to the fact that all parties must be afforded equal justice under international humanitarian law.

Published: January 2023

The study investigates the morality of school teachers from the perspective of their students’ reflections while the teachers were teaching content on morality in schools. The objective of the study was to analyze the content of moral education and values in English, Urdu, Islamic Studies, Social Studies, and Pakistan Studies of grades 3 to 10 published by the Punjab Text Book Board for the years 2019 and 2020 to understand students’ perspectives about the extent the morality is reflected in teachers’ behaviour in accordance to the content on morality. For content analysis, a checklist was prepared after an extensive review of the relevant literature. A questionnaire was also developed to collect the perspectives of these students. The population of the study consisted of students of public schools in Punjab, Pakistan and the sample was comprised of randomly selected 502 students of grades 9 and 10. It was revealed that content on morality was less than it ought to be and from the perceptions of students, the morality level of teachers is more than ‘average’. The focus should be on practicing these values in society and parents and teachers have to play their role in the inculcation of moral values among youth.

Literature as the Route of Transmission of Buddhism into Britain
Authors: Deepti Agarwal
Published: January 2023

Literary transmission of a subject has been a perennial phenomenon through the mode of literature because literary works are not produced in vacuum. Authors transpire the spirit of an age by creative amalgamation of their external influences, which they absorb from their social consciousness, and their internal influences to create fictional literary images, style, themes and motifs for a work. In this manner, an author’s influence from a preceding text or social consciousness exports to the successive literary works incessantly across the temporal and spatial dimensions. To determine literature as an intermediary or channel of transmission of Buddhism into Britain, the methodology of Influence Study is applied to delineate the spread of Buddhism through literary works. The investigation aims to identify the junctures of contact between an influence or an author and an influencer or the Buddhist source of information. Since multitude of impressions are involved in the ongoing process of literary production, the Influence Study  utilizes Auguste Comte’s philosophy of positivism and factual account of biographical details to verify the junctures of direct or indirect contact of the author with the Buddhist source of information via literary or extra-literary medium to map the route of interrelationships. For conclusive results, the tools of close reading and interpretive analysis are implemented by juxtaposing the texts imbibing the stylized Buddhist ideology with the teachings of Buddhism. In this connection, a few British texts such as Edwin Arnold’s the Light of Asia, Rudyard Kipling’s Kim, James Hilton’s Lost Horizon, and Aldous Huxley’s Island are scrutinized to investigate the literary transmission of Buddhism into Britain.
Finding Narrated, Unnarrated and Disnarrated in James Joyce’s “The Sisters”
Authors: Dr. Nargis Khan
Published: January 2023

“The Sisters” is the first story in the Dubliners, a collection of fifteen short stories by James Joyce, first published in 1914. Most of the stories in the collection are in descriptive style either by the characters in first person narration or by omniscient in third person speech. The descriptive narrative is incorporated with fewer dialogues selectively at some crucial event. Story, “The Sisters” is one of the most perfectly crafted narratives from the point of view of a young boy who is also the character. The narrative of the story deals with multiple issues of religion, relationships, belief, paralysis (an abnormal physical state denoting mental illness as well) death and freedom and choose to disnarrated many events to create a sense of suspense and illusion in the story. Unnarrated and disnarrated is one of the emerging new techniques in the field of narrative theory. These narrative tool are discussed in great detail by Gerald Prince an American academic and literary theoretician, in an brief essay published in first issue of Style in 1988 This paper will analyse these narrative techniques and their application in the text and their after effects to the new kind of meaning they provide to it.
A Study on Rural Customer’s Behavior towards the Insurance Products (Genesis of Insurance Industries in India)
Authors: Prof. Ashish Kumar Srivastava  , Abdul Jadid
Published: January 2023

The Indian economy has been among the fastest growing economies of the world for over a decade with annual sustained growth rate of 7-8 percent of GDP. The life insurance market has seen an upward surge and the business have achieved an average growth rate of almost 40 percent after privatization in the year 2000. The opening of the insurance sector to private participation has generated considerable interest in this sector within and outside India. Though the reforms in the insurance sector came only at the end of the last decade, the process of change has been extremely smooth and now insurance industry is thriving with the public and private sectors competing with each other on a level playing field and this process has resulted in expanding the coverage, deepening the penetration and spreading the awareness about life insurance into the rural sector. The insurance industry has grown tremendously with increasing growth rates of industrialization, infrastructure, and savings rate and capital formation. India is on the threshold of rapid economic and social change.

According to the Italian Marxist philosopher Antonio Gramsei, Subaltern and marginalized communities are those sub-sects of the society which are discriminated on the basis of religion, caste, gender, sexuality, culture, tradition, economic status etc. Literature plays a majar role in raising the question of sufferings of against the social supremacy. Anguish of the oppressed communities expressed its strongest protest with piercing words and attacking theme. In the Dalit Literature, Namdeo Dhasal is a universally acknowledged Dalit poet, who attacks social hierarchy with his realistic poems. Namdeo Dhasal’s poetry not only unveils the multiple social oppressions but discusses the social problems also.
Romance with a Difference: The Squire’s Tale and Sir Thopas
Authors: Newby Rebecca Ellen
Published: January 2023

The unfinished Squire’s Tale and Sir Thopas are often characterized as imperfect or parodic representations of the romance genre. However, far from being examples of artistic failure, their generic and stylistic incongruities suggest Chaucer was attempting a sweeping revision of tired generic clichés and paving the way for future innovators. His playful treatment of the genre disrupts the structural integrity of the tales and ultimately prevents either from finding resolution. Despite this, both have a huge amount of aesthetic value, and their presence within the larger Canterbury Tales framework shows that Chaucer was willing to forgo completion in service of generic renewal. By examining how the Squire’s Tale and Sir Thopas deviate from the norms of the romance genre, this article argues that Chaucer was trying to write romances in a different way, and it offers a new understanding of the composition and value of the Squire’s Tale.
Peculiarities of inter-institutional relations in the semi-presidential countries of Europe
Authors:   Ivan Franko National University of Lviv, Lytvyn Vitaliy
Published: January 2023

The article compared and systematized the parameters and features of interrelation between the indicators and patterns of stability, conflictivness and effectiveness of inter-institutional relations within the framework of various types of semi-presidentialism in European countries. For this purpose the research initially proposed the definition and clarified the definitive features of semi-presidentialism, as well as singled out its examples as the most common system of state government in European countries, and then it is argued that it is appropriate to speak of semi-presidentialism in the plural. With this in mind, three basic classifications of semi-presidentialism, in particular formal or institutional, factual or political and formal-factual or institutional-political one, as well as types of semi-presidentialism within each of them were highlighted and filled with content and details. Given this, the study empirically verified and confirmed, predominantly based on the experience of European countries, the position theorized in Political Science, according to which semi-presidentialism and its separate types lead to quite different and even mutually exclusive consequences, risks and prospects. The latter, among others, are manifested in the multidirectional interrelation between semi-presidentialism and its options, on one hand, and stability, conflict and effectiveness of inter-institutional relations in the triangle „president – prime minister/governmental cabinet – parliament”, on the other hand. Thus, the article confirmed the expediency of interpreting semi-presidentialism as not a homogeneous, but a heterogeneous phenomenon that causes dissimilar effects, including that on stability, conflict and effectiveness of inter-institutional relations within the framework of various types of the analyzed system of government in European countries. Taking this into account, it was concluded that precisely different types of semi-presidentialism (but not semi-presidentialism in general) both theoretically and empirically are more reliable and valid indicators for the choice of systems of government than criticism of each of them, since the former can manifest themselves differently in diverse situations, thus approaching or moving away from the optimal and desirable construction of inter-institutional relations.
