Authors: Setiyawan Imas , Isa Abdullah
Published: March 2023

In Indonesia, the Ahmadiyah have been rejected since 1950 and have gained legitimacy since the MUI issued a fatwa in the 1980. Then at the MUI national working meeting in 1984, it wa stated that the qadian Ahmadiyah deviated from islamic teachings and disturbed state order. In addition,, the regional government of east java province has issued a decree of the governor of east java number 188/94/KPTS/013/2011, namely the prohibition of the activities of the indonesian Ahmadiyah community (JAI) in east java. Thid study aims to review the implications of the eas java governor’s decision number 188/94/KPTS/013/2011 cocerning the prohibition of the activities of the Ahmadiyah community in east java, and to find out the development of the Ahmadiyah community in east java province after receiving the east java governor’s decision 188/94/KPTS/013/2011 cocerning the prohibition of the activities of the Ahmadiyah community in east java. This study uses a qualitative approach. Reseacrhers used observation, interview, and documentation techniques to obtain data. Then use deductive reasoning in explaining conclusions. The result of this study stated that the implications of the decree of the governor of east java number 188/94/KPTS/013/2011 regarding the prohibition of the activities of the east java Ahmadiyah community against the Ahmadiyah community in east java, causing several impacts, namely impacts, social impacts, and legal impacts. Then the development of the Ahmadiyah community in east java after receiving the decision of the governor of east java number 188/94/KPTS/013/2011 is to continue to carry out activities as usual, for individual routines the Ahmadiyah community continues to do it like other muslims, but for comprehensive activities, the Ahmadiyah community is sometimes still hampered by permission from the security forces.
Analisis Childfree Choice Dalam Perspektif Ulama’ Klasik dan Ulama’ Kontemporer
Authors: Adi Rudi , Afandi Alfin
Published: March 2023

Childfree is a term for people who agree to decide not to have children. The term childfree can be defined as a view of a husband and wife who decide not to have children. The decision to choose childfree in household life cannot be separated from the role of husband and wife. The method used in this study is qualitative, with a comparative approach, namely comparing two points of view, namely according to classical and contemporary Islamic scholars. While the type of research used is Library Research, in the sense that all data sources come from written materials related to the topics discussed. The results of the study show that classical scholars do not forbid married couples who agree not to have children (offspring). Because this is confirmed by 'Azl whose law is permitted by Imam Ghazali, contemporary scholars also allow it if husband and wife agree because of certain benefits. So childfree is not included in the prohibited acts, because every married couple has the right to plan and manage household life including having children.
Dilematika Nafkah Madiyah Anak Dalam Putusan Pengadilan Agama Tanjungkarang Nomor 0846/Pdt.G/2015/PA.Tnk
Authors: Lisnawati Lisnawati
Published: March 2023

Applications for māḍiyah maintenance or debt support, especially for children, are often rejected by the courts. This is based on the existence of jurisprudence based on the decision of the Supreme Court Number 608/K/AG/2003. One example is the decision of the Tanjungkarang Religious Court Number 0846/Pdt.G/2015/PA.Tnk. This research is normative legal research using a case approach. Sources of research data consist of primary, secondary, and tertiary legal materials. The data obtained were then analyzed using the content analysis method. Decision Number 0846/Pdt.G/2015/PA.Tnk. shows that the legal basis for refusing claims for māḍiyah maintenance for children in divorce is legal considerations as considered by the Supreme Court in its decision rejecting lawsuits for past maintenance for children, namely that the father's obligation to provide for his child is lil-intifāʻ, not lit-tamlīk, then a person's negligence fathers who do not provide for their children cannot be sued. This leads to injustice because māḍiyah maintenance is not granted to children. This will certainly be detrimental to the life and welfare of the child, who in other circumstances can become a shield for a father who neglects to provide for his child. Māḍiyah livelihood is a form of protection for the rights of divorced women and children born during the marriage. This is in line with the verses of the Koran and hadith which talk about the obligation of a father to his wife and children to provide maintenance. In addition, such provisions can also be found in child protection legal instruments in force in Indonesia. The law should pay more attention to the lives of children by issuing judges' decisions that are good for them so that it will close gaps for husbands or fathers who can be negligent in their obligations, and protect divorced women from a double burden.

which is a concern for the weak. Zakat is paid by a muzakki given to the mustahik. In this study, it appears that the understanding of people of Lengayang District only understands the zakat fitrah that they pay during the fasting month. For the measure of payment, they only estimate it. In the efforts that must be made so that people's understanding of the obligation of zakat can be achieved through coaching muzakki and mustahiq, of course, there is good cooperation between all parties involved, namely the community itself, the Zakat Collection Unit, village officials, religious scholars, and religious extension workers are no exception. Islam. The implementation of zakat in Lengayang District is marked by the presence of supporting and inhibiting factors as well as efforts to build public awareness of paying zakat. This is inseparable from the role of the Lengayang District Office of Religious Affairs under the auspices of the Ministry of Religion as Amil Zakat Trustees who have carried out program development by establishing a zakat consulting institution in order to increase awareness of zakat for the community.

The impact of debrief models on self-efficacy within mental health simulation training: a quantitative analysis
Authors: Scott Olivia , Burton Louisa , Bansal Divija , Attoe Chris , Cross Sean , Saunders Aleks
Published: March 2023

Recently, simulation-based education (SBE) has been evidenced as an effective form of pedagogy in mental health and care settings, through consistent improvements in self-efficacy and technical and non-technical skills. A key component of SBE is post-simulation debriefing. Debriefing involves educators turning into facilitators and guiding participants through reflective discussions; however, there is no single debrief model used across simulation training. Debrief models have been previously evaluated, but not directly compared. This paper investigated whether there is a significant difference between self-efficacy scores of participants debriefed using the Diamond model and a modified Pendleton’s during SBE.

Participants included 751 healthcare professionals who attended various simulation training courses between September 2017 and August 2019. Participants completed pre- and post-course questionnaires using the Human Factors Skills for Healthcare Instrument. Pre- and post-data were screened using Mahalanobis distance and Levene’s test and data were analysed using paired-samples

Significant differences in human factors scores were found for the Diamond debrief model only. No significant improvements were found for the Pendleton’s model.

Results suggested a benefit to using the Diamond model over the Pendleton’s model during simulation debriefs, due to a significant improvement in self-efficacy scores. These findings contribute to the gap in literature around direct comparison of debrief models and support studies where the Diamond model has yielded significant improvements in human factors skills previously.

Russia’s War against Ukraine: A Contravention of International Humanitarian Law
Authors: Bukar Muhammad Ibrahim
Published: March 2023

In February 2022, Russian forces invaded Ukraine and began targeting military objectives in some major Ukrainian cities. In the following months, airstrikes continued and extended to other areas of Ukraine, including the capital Kyiv. Attacks started being conducted against civilians too. For instance, it has been reported that an apartment complex outside of Kharkiv was directly targeted. International humanitarian law, or the laws of war, protects civilians and noncombatants from the dangers of armed conflict. It addresses the conduct of hostilities-the means and methods of warfare - by all parties to a conflict. Foremost is the rule that parties to a conflict must always distinguish between combatants and civilians. While humanitarian law recognizes that some civilian casualties are inevitable during hostilities, it imposes a duty on parties to the conflict to distinguish between combatants and civilians at all times, and to target only combatants and other military objectives. Civilians lose their immunity from attack when they are “directly participating in the hostilities” - such as by assisting combatants during a battle. This article aimed to contribute to the understanding of the contravention of the international legal framework that regulates the use of force in the Russia - Ukraine armed conflict and how a powerful member of the United Nations Security Council (UNSC) deliberately circumvented treaty provisions on the use of force. The article concludes with a sidebar of the need to exploit avenues for accountability that will help to forestall future occurrences.
Background cardiovascular risk factors in patients of metastatic prostate cancer on androgen deprivation therapy: A retrospective observational study from a tertiary care hospital of Eastern India
Authors: Chatterjee Koushik , Das Mani , Hoque Jeaul , Bhowal Saikat , Basak Udita , Hembram Debasish
Published: March 2023

Background: Androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) is indispensable part of treatment for metastatic prostate cancer (MPC) patients. There is documented association between ADT and adverse cardiovascular (CV) events, with variability between the different modes. However, there is dearth of evidence on the background CV risk factors of these group of patients at diagnosis.

Aims and Objectives: We envisaged this retrospective observational study in the department of oncology to document the background CV risk factors of MPC patients at diagnosis, to help us better select the available ADTs based on their CV risks.

Materials and Methods: Over a period of 2 years, all patients registered for treatment with a diagnosis of MPC, indicated for ADT, and available detailed history and background cardiological evaluation at presentation, were included in the study. As indirect indicators of CV risks, history of smoking, presence and treatment of dyslipidemia, and type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), were documented. As direct indicators of CV risks, presence and treatment of hypertension, ischemic heart disease (IHD), congestive cardiac failure (CCF), ECG, and echocardiography changes suggesting cardiac morbidity were documented and the data were analyzed using descriptive statistical methods.

Results: Indirect indicators: dyslipidemia, habit of smoking, and T2DM were found in 74%, 29.3%, and 13.3% patients, respectively. Direct indicators: Presence of hypertension, IHD, CCF, abnormalities in ECG, and echocardiography were found in 38.7%, 10.6%, 4%, 28%, and 34.6% patients, respectively. ST-T changes on ECG, low EF, and IHD on echocardiography were seen in 28.5%, 23%, and 26.9%, respectively.

Conclusions: MPC patients have a substantial pre-existing CV risk at diagnosis. Our findings warrant a meticulous screening of all MPC patients for CV risk factors, to help in judicious selection of their ADT.
A clinical study on surgical site infections after craniotomy at a tertiary care hospital
Authors: Harsoori Mohammed , Tyagi Arvind , Goswami Mayukh
Published: March 2023

Background: Patients with craniotomy procedure might have serious complication like surgical site infection (SSI) with the incidence rate of >9.0%. Certain factors such as multiple operations, cerebrospinal fluid leak, use of corticosteroids, altered sensorium, and diabetes may increase the risk of SSI. It is important to prevent the incidence of SSIs to reduce mortality and morbidity of the patients undergoing craniotomy due to various indications.

Aims and Objectives: The present study intends to clinically evaluate the SSI in post-craniotomy and to study general characteristics of patients who are suffering with SSI after craniotomy.

Materials and Methods: The present study is prospective observational study of conducted on patients with SSI after craniotomy surgery. A complete history of patient and surgery-related information was collected. The data were analyzed using descriptive statistics.

Results: A total of 25 patients with SSI after craniotomy surgery were included in the study. The mean age of the patient was 53 years with male predominance (56). Out of 25 cases, nine patients were obese, 19 patients had a habit of smoking, and 13 patients were suffering from comorbid conditions. The majority of the patients (12 patients) were having intensive care unit stay of 8–14 days. The most common bacteria causing SSIs is found to be Staphylococcus aureus in organ space infections.

Conclusion: From the present study, it can be concluded that even though risk statistical significance can be ruled out, it is important to consider the certain risk factors preoperatively to provide proper health-care facility.

Published: March 2023

The study examined second cycle students’ program choice and their aspired programs at the tertiary level. The descriptive design was adopted and used for the study. The data was collected from a sample of 229 respondents using the questionnaire. The data collected was analyzed using frequency and percentages, independent samples t-test and chi-square. The study revealed that one of the challenges first year students’ faced in the choice of academic program at the SHS level was that educational guidance on programs available at the SHS and their respective careers is not often done, gender did not have any influence on students choice of academic program among first year SHS students, and there was a significant positive relationship between students’ choice of program at the SHS and the academic programs they aspire to offer at the tertiary level. We therefore, recommended that guidance on academic programs should be put in place to help students make informed choices of programs that would commensurate with students’ aspired careers, and role of gender should not be given prominence in such guidance programs.

Authors: Brembeck Helene
Published: March 2023

This essay is a humble attempt to shed some rays of light on the cultural history of the practice of using ice cubes in drinks, its past, present and to some extent future. Departing from the author’s travel documentation from trips to the US and examples from Sweden from the internet, literature, archives and interviews it aims to share reflections on the normalization and translatability to different cultural contexts of the use of ice cubes. It also provides a couple of examples of failed translations and some reflections on the future of ice cubes in an era of environmental crisis. Well aware that there are many stories to be told about ice cubes, the hope is that this essay will arouse interest and curiosity of this tiny object and its possibility to open up perspectives on our society and its history.
Integrative Analysis of Genetic and Epigenetic Alterations in the CBX7 Gene Reveals Its Tumor-Suppressive Function by Regulating the Cell Cycle in Human Breast Cancer
Authors: Cai Yimeng , Chang Hang , Perez-Losada Jesus , Mao Jian-Hua
Published: March 2023

CBX7 is a member of the chromobox gene family, which plays an important role in epigenetic transcriptional regulation. In this study, we found that compared to normal mammary tissues, mRNA levels of CBX7 are consistently significantly downregulated in breast cancers (BCs) across different datasets. Integrative multiomics analysis revealed the genetic and epigenetic mechanisms for the loss of CBX7 expression in BCs. Lower expression levels of CBX7 are significantly associated with shorter overall, disease-free, and distant metastasis-free survival of patients with BC. These prognostic impacts of CBX7 are independent of estrogen receptor status and PAM50 molecular subtypes. Coexpression analysis identified 207 genes consistently coexpressed with CBX7 (157 negatively and 50 positively). Gene Ontology, KEGG, and Reactome enrichment analysis revealed that cell cycle‑, DNA replication‑, and mitosis-related pathways are significantly overrepresented within the set of CBX7 negatively coexpressed genes, suggesting that CBX7 functions as a suppressor of the cell cycle. Moreover, transcription factor enrichment analysis detected the E2F family of transcription factors significantly associated with CBX7 negatively coexpressed genes, consistent with E2F function regulating the cell cycle. Furthermore, we found that loss of CBX7 expression significantly increases genomic instability and tumor mutation burden. Our findings indicate that CBX7 acts as a tumor suppressor in BC through its potential role in the negative regulation of cell proliferation and the maintenance of genome integrity.

Oxidative stress may lead to overproduction of reactive oxygen species (ROS) which are highly toxic ultimately cause stimulation of antioxidant enzymes and damages to proteins, lipids, carbohydrates and DNA molecules in bark tissue of Hevea brasiliensis during onset of Tapping panel dryness syndrome (TPD). In this study, Antioxidant enzymes level in bark tissues of seven different healthy and TPD affected clones of Hevea brasiliensis namely RRII 105, PB 217, PB 235, PB 285, PB 5/51, PCK2 and GT1 was determined to monitor TPD occurrence. The results revealed that increased level of antioxidant enzymes activity was noticed in bark tissues of TPD affected clones while it was found to be low in healthy clones. Maximum level of superoxide dismutase (SOD) activity noticed was 0.634 U/mg FW in healthy PB 5/51 clone compared with its TPD affected clone. The CAT activity was also found to be high in healthy PB 5/51 clone (1.988 U/mg) than TPD affected clone. In the case of peroxidase (POX) activity, it was found to be low in all healthy clones while the activity was significantly increased in TPD affected clones and maximum activity was noticed in PCK2 followed by PB285. Antioxidant enzymes level was also determined by native PAGE analysis and its results showed that isoenzymes of SOD and POX banding pattern are directly correlated with biochemical assays activity. This research correlates the activities of antioxidant enzymes between healthy and TPD affected clones and paves the path to understand the role of SOD, CAT and POX during onset of TPD and leads to future genetic studies on antioxidant enzymes and its genes in Hevea brasiliensis.

The present study attempted to record the insect pests of lac insect host plants in Kerala Forest Research Institute, Peechi, Thrissur. Hand picking and swiping methods were used to collect the insects for identification. From the observation 26 species of pest insects belonging to 4 orders and 19 families were recorded. It was found that all major parts of Flemingia were heavily infested but significant damage was caused by the defoliators, mostly heterocera. Out of the 26 insect pests, 15 have been recorded as foliage feeders, 9 as sapsuckers, 1 as pod borer and 1 stem borer. During rearing, 3 species of parasites were found, belonging to three families that were collected and identified. Insects belong to the order Lepidoptera were profoundly seen on Flemingia. They cause severe damage to the plant. Hypena rectivittalis belonging to the family Noctuidae was found as a major pest and bag worm Psychids was found to be the minor pest. The study reveals that the most serious sapsuckers belong to the order Hemiptera and majority of them are beetles and bugs. During the months of April-May Iceryasp and white flies (Trialeurodes vaporarium) cause heavy damage in Flemingia. The study thus concludes that the major pests belong to the order Lepidoptera (42%) followed by order Hemiptera (41%). Most Lepidopterans are defoliators and Hemipterans are sapsuckers.
The impact of the Russia–Ukraine War on right-wing populism in Europe
Authors:   CNRS-CEVIPOF-Sciences Po Paris, Ivaldi Gilles , Zankina Emilia ,   Temple University Rome
Published: March 2023

This report has examined the impact of the Russian invasion of Ukraine on the state of the pan-European populist Radical Right. Such parties are generally considered admirers of Russia and Vladimir Putin’s regime and ties between the Kremlin and the European populist Radical Right parties have grown stronger over the last decade. Because of such ties, the Russian invasion of Ukraine has presented new challenges for radical right-wing populist parties, putting many of them under strain and forcing them to adapt to the new context produced by the war. In this report, we have asked how such parties have navigated the new context produced by the war and the impact it may have had on them, both nationally and at the EU level. Special attention has been paid to the reactions of right-wing populist parties to this war and the political and electoral consequences of the conflict for such parties. The analysis in this report includes a total of 37 populist Radical Right parties across 12 West European and 10 East European countries, plus Turkey.
Pro-Russia or anti-Russia: Political dilemmas and dynamics in Bulgaria in the context of the war in Ukraine
Authors:   Temple University Rome, Zankina Emilia
Published: March 2023

The war in Ukraine has had a serious impact on Bulgaria, both politically and economically. Bulgaria shares historically strong ties with Russia, and at least a third, if not half, of Bulgarians harbour deeply rooted pro-Russian sentiments. Although Sofia eventually supported sanctions against Moscow, sent humanitarian and military aid to Kyiv, and accepted Ukrainian refugees, key political actors in Bulgaria have vehemently opposed such decisions. Particular opposition has come from the Bulgarian Socialist Party (BSP), the successor to the communist party, Bulgaria’s incumbent president, and at least one populist Radical Right party—Vazrazhdane or Revival—whose support has grown significantly since the start of the war. In the process, Revival and its leaders have managed to capitalize on the nationalist vote and pro-Russian attitudes in the country, almost entirely wiping out voter support for the more established Far Right parties.
The impact of the Russia–Ukraine War on ties between the Vlaams Belang in Belgium and the Putin regime
Authors: Pauwels Teun
Published: March 2023

The populist Radical Right party, Vlaams Belang (VB), has consistently proved itself a successful electoral competitor in Belgian politics. Already in 2004, the party obtained 24% of the vote in Flanders, focusing on issues such as immigration, Flemish nationalism, crime and law and order. As of 2007, however, the party faced increasing competition from the Flemish nationalist party Nieuw-Vlaamse Alliantie (N-VA), which has been able to present itself as a democratic alternative to the populist VB. In recent years, the VB has tended to radicalize rather than moderate its tone to differentiate itself from competitors. While foreign policy has not been a salient issue within VB ideology, various party members have developed close ties to the Putin regime since 2010. For example, Filip Dewinter, a prominent member of the VB, has met Russian officials and appeared in Russian media. Following the invasion of Ukraine, the VB was forced to shift its position on Putin’s regime. The current leader, Tom Van Grieken, has admitted he was seriously mistaken about Putin. Even Dewinter has strongly condemned Putin. At the same time, the VB remains sceptical about sanctions against Russia.
The Case of the Austrian Radical Right and Russia During the War in Ukraine
Authors:   University of Salzburg, Heinisch Reinhard , Hofmann Diana
Published: March 2023

The right-wing, populist Austrian Freedom Party (FPÖ) has viewed Putin’s Russia as an effective constraint on what the Radical Right regards as a liberal cultural and economic agenda pursued by the European Union and the United States. The FPÖ remained a supporter of Kremlin policies, even after Moscow’s annexation of Crimea in 2014, and even signed a cooperation agreement with Putin’s United Russia party in 2016. Following Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, the FPÖ has been careful not to be seen defending Moscow’s aggression. Instead, it has resorted to populist framing that casts the Austrian people as victims of national and Western political elites. Concretely, the party leadership claims that the country’s policies toward Russia are counterproductive and have been decided without the consent of the people. This approach is an extension of the FPÖ’s traditional Euroscepticism and anti-establishment positioning. It also appeals to Austrians’ longstanding preference for neutrality. According to polling data, the FPÖ is well positioned to outperform all other parties in the current issue environment.
The repercussions of the war in Ukraine on Croatia’s Far Right
Authors:   Corvinus University, Petsinis Vassilis
Published: March 2023

This report deals with the repercussions of the war in Ukraine on the national conservative parties, as well as the radical and extremist right, in Croatia. It focuses closely on these actors’ attempts to draw parallels between the conflict in Ukraine and Croatia’s war of independence in the 1990s, known as the “Homeland War” (Domovinski rat). It also seeks to place into context what, if anything, is so “specific” about the activism of this party family concerning the war in Ukraine – including any “dissident” stances in comparison to the political mainstream. This report covers the most established parties of the Croatian Far Right but focuses most closely on the national conservative Homeland Movement (Domovinski Pokret). This report clarifies how this party: 1) seeks to draw a linkage between the developments in Ukraine and the identity and memory politics of the Homeland War; and 2) utilizes this process in its endeavour to antagonize Croatia’s ruling party, the Croatian Democratic Union.
The impact of the Russia-Ukraine War on Right-Wing Populism in Europe. The case of Denmark
Authors:   Aalborg University, Meret Susi
Published: March 2023

At the referendum held in Denmark on June 1st, 2022 (Indenrigsministeriet, 2022), two-thirds of the electorate (66.9 %) voted for the removal of the Danish EU opt-out on Common Security and Defense Policy. This result was noteworthy, and it must be understood within the context of the Russian invasion of Ukraine, and in the light of the situation of instability and insecurity sparked by an international crisis, that added up to the effects of the global health crisis. The populist right-wing parties in parliament were against the removal, arguing Denmark would renounce decisional power on key military and security areas. Instead, these parties advocate for the strengthening of the military within the NATO-alliance, starkly opposing further development at EU level. The impact of the Russia-Ukrainian war opens new opportunities for the populist right, whose electoral support has been waning over the past years. The newly established party, The Denmark Democrats can gain from the situation to strengthen and consolidate their position. The New Right and the crisis ridden Danish People’s Party can exploit the situation to gain voters’ support, playing on feelings of insecurity and international crisis.
The impact of the Russia–Ukraine war on right-wing populism in Finland
Authors:   University of Helsinki, Lahti Yannick , Palonen Emilia
Published: March 2023

As Finland’s neighbour, Russia, attacked its neighbour, Ukraine, the response across the political spectrum in Finland was universal. All the parties underscored the importance of patriotism and sovereignty and messages of solidarity and support for Ukraine (alongside condemnation of Russia). Support for Putin or the war is basically non-existent in Finland. Still, the Finns Party (FP), which is part of the populist Radical Right milieu in Finland, polls extremely well. Moreover, groups combining anti-COVID-19 measures with pro-Putin leanings have registered as political parties in preparation for elections in spring 2023. Still, their combined support is in single digits. The concrete consequences of the war include a U-turn in foreign policy from long-standing neutrality to NATO membership, with all parties—including the FP—supporting the government’s pending application to join alongside neighbouring Sweden. Interestingly, as the conflict heated up in early 2022, “Niikkogate”—a scandal in which a parliamentary committee chair from the FP was replaced after tweeting pro-Kremlin sentiments—has indicated the degree of pro-Ukraine support across the political spectrum.

As environmental issues have become of prime importance, green supply chain management (GSCM) has become a proactive approach for industries to improve their environmental performance and develop a competitive advantage. GSCM has been widely implemented by different industrial sectors to minimize the environmental impact of their supply chain activities, such as waste generation and pollution. Nowadays, industries are seeking to convert their traditional supply chain management (TSCM) to (GSCM) due to concerns about environmental sustainability and to improve their overall performance, develop a competitive advantage, and gain a brand image. This paper started with an interest in understanding the factors that lead companies to convert their traditional practices to more environmentally friendly activities. Many theories in the literature were employed to explore the topic of GSCM; three theories have been observed to be the vital theoretical pillars within the GSCM literature namely, institutional theory, stakeholder theory, and resource-based view theory. These theories will be discussed in this paper. The aim of reviewing these theories is to understand the transition process from TSCM into GSCM. Additionally, the transition from TSCM to GSCM is associated with tensions that may arise as companies still prioritize the economic goals over the environmental dimensions. This paper will investigate the potential tensions and conflicts GSCM barriers may cause between various stakeholders. Therefore, the goal of this paper is to explore what the pressures are for companies to implement green supply chain management, what drives or prevents companies from adopting GSCM. To accomplish this task, literature is reviewed, focusing on theories, tensions, drivers, and barriers that are related to the field of GSCM.

Lucknow: Literature and Culture
Authors: Syed Ali Hamid
Published: March 2023

To place Lucknow in today's context, I have attempted to analyse the city's literature and culture in this paper. The paper is divided into three sections: the first gives a brief history of Lucknow up to the end of the nawabi era, focusing on events relevant to this paper; the second discusses music, drama, and poetry, especially the Lucknow School of Urdu poetry, masnavi, and marsia; and the third examines Lucknow's culture from a modern perspective. In his well-known work Guzishta Lakhnau (Purana Lakhnau in Hindi), Abdul Halim Sharar dates the beginning of Lucknow to the period when Lord Ram returned from his banvas (exile in the forest) and assumed the throne of Ayodhya. He granted his brother Lakshman this land as a jagir (estate), and Lakshman erected his home on a rise next to the river that had a deep tunnel that was rumoured to go to Sheshnag (located on the track of Amarnath cave in Kashmir). Around this raised area, a tiny settlement called Lakshman Teela—the word "teela" refers to an elevated area—was established. The unique culture of Lucknow, its secularism, refined manners, etiquette and extreme politeness in conversation lingers on albeit in a diluted form, and it is easy to recognize a person from Lucknow by the way he/she speaks, the use of a blend of Hindi, Urdu and the local dialect Awadhi, often called Hindustani language, the use of ‘aap’ even when addressing children, and the plural ‘hum’ in place of the singular ‘mai’.
Prejudicial Treatment in Asif Currimbhoy's Goa
Authors: T. Eswar Rao
Published: March 2023

Inequalities are ubiquitous throughout the world and have been a defining aspect of society since prehistoric times. They typically get smaller as civilization develops, but they still exist. They have to do with the unfair distribution of certain highly valued characteristics, such as earnings, wealth, standing, expertise, and power among various units, including people, dwellings, social classes, religious congregations, organizations, castes, regions, and nations. An analysis of disparities' primary objective is to identify the factors that influence how the writer is distributed among relevant units and to explain their causes and effects. An Indian writer who writes in English, Asif Currimbhoy, was familiar with experimental American theatre. He wrote plays with modern themes. He addressed issues of race, class, and gender. Post-colonialism is made up of these three components. His dramas thus draw their themes from the currents of modern politics and existence. He has been referred to as a karma yogi and India's first theatre attention voice. For him, the 1965 drama "Goa," which had its world premiere at Michigan State University, is very special. The Indian invasions of Goa in December 1961 are the subject of the drama.
Social Consciousness Towards Kinners in Sanjay Johari's Play Kinner Maa
Authors: Indu Bharti
Published: March 2023

Sanjay Johari is the newly sprouting figure in the field of Indian English literature. He is the spokesman for his country's doubts, emerging issues and deteriorating condition of the people. In his first play, Kinner Maa, he tries to awaken social consciousness towards kinners who live a life of aloofness in the contemporary world. Generally, people think that kinners are uncounted persons of the society where nobody shows one's sympathy for them. The leading cause of this belief is that they are counted as neither male nor female, but it does not mean, they are not a part of society. They have the same passion and humanistic feelings as others have. We have no right to think they are invaluable persons in society. The humane outlook of Sanjay Johari makes the reader realize how to show sympathetic behavior towards them. Though the problem of gender discrimination is rapidly taking a step in the contemporary world. So many writers also express newly emerging problems like gender issues LGBT, homosexuality, transgender marginalization etc.in their works. Shobha de, Mahesh Dattani, Arundhati Roy etc. wrote many plays on these problems. Sanjay Johari has also tried to draw a picture on his Canvas of writing, and he has given different shades of people on it. Thus, Sanjay Johari tries to evoke human consciousness for such a community through this play. His only purpose is to highlight the realistic picture of the society in which people have automatically divided themselves into different categories. In fact, they are living in the 'Superiority Complex' where there is no place for such a miserable community. The truth is that the people of contemporary society are living in illusion, and perhaps they feel happy, and they are indifferent towards the subalterns and marginalized people.
