Defining the Undefinable: A Comparative Study of the Concept of Love in Shakespeare and Mahwi’s Selected Poetry
Authors: Khalid Hakar Taha , Salih Jutiar Omer
Published: February 2025

Love is experienced as a powerful and pervasive emotion that can affect many aspects of human life through influencing people’s thoughts, feelings, and actions. The literature that revolves around this complex human emotion is extensive. Some praise it highly while others blame their melancholy and miseries on it. However, when it comes to defining the term, there are many arguments each approaching it from a different angle. This paper presents several scholarly definitions of love before looking at how William Shakespeare and Mahwi define it through their sonnets and ghazals respectively. Several examples from Shakespeare and Mahwi’s poetry have been selected for study and comparison. The paper finds that both poets attribute positive and negative characteristics to love believing that it has the power to create in people feelings of completeness as well as destitute and isolation. To both poets, love has transformative powers shaping people’s social, personal and spiritual connections. However, in Mahwi’s ghazals, most of the connections formed in love have a spiritual dimension to them and God is presented in the center of them as the beloved, while the relationships found in Shakespeare’s sonnets rarely incorporate this otherworldly aspect and instead revolve around love developed among two human beings.
An implementation science study evaluating a digital health tool designed to improve low sexual desire in women (Preprint)
Authors: Brotto Lori A. , Stephenson Kyle R , Marshall Nisha , Balvan Mariia , Okara Yaroslava , Mahar Elizabeth
Published: February 2025

BACKGROUND

Sexual health difficulties affect up to 30% of women, with desire and arousal problems being the most prevalent. While Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Mindfulness-Based Therapy (MBT) are effective treatments, access is limited by barriers such as specialist shortages, cost, and embarrassment. Web-based interventions offer a potential solution by providing self-paced, cost-effective treatments. eSense, a digital health program, offers CBT and MBT skills targeted to women with low sexual desire, and previous trials find eSense to be highly feasible and efficacious.

OBJECTIVE

The goal of the present implementation science study was to use the RE-AIM (reach, effectiveness, adoption, implementation, and maintenance of implementation) framework to assess the integration of eSense into a number of sexual health clinics. We chose the RE-AIM framework because it addresses both dissemination (e.g., reach) and implementation of an intervention.

METHODS

A total of 14 specialty clinics participated, and we report on the reported experiences of those clinics in implementing eSense. We also examined responses from 12 women on wait-lists to receive sex therapy or sexual medicine care.

RESULTS

In terms of clinic outcomes, all aspects of implementation (reach, effectiveness, adoption, implementation, and maintenance) were in the moderate to high range for clinics, reporting that offering eSense helped them overcome negative feelings associated with their long clinic wait-lists. The majority expressed a need for eSense and could see how it overcame the limitations of traditional therapy. Nearly all expressed a wish to continue offering eSense to patients after the implementation study was complete. One caveat was that half of the clinics noted cost as a key issue for future implementation, and one third noted that the administrative burden of implementing eSense as a standard of care may be challenging. For individual users, the majority expressed an interest to know more about eSense, a desire to use eSense, though most of these did not complete the program in its entirety. Users experienced a significant improvement in sex-related distress with no clinically meaningful change in other outcomes, and a high level of satisfaction with eSense. Most also reported doing things differently in their sexual lives after participating in eSense.

CONCLUSIONS

We found that eSense demonstrates potential as a digital intervention for sexual difficulties for women, particularly with regard to its moderate implementation outcomes, and also because of its ability to reduce sexual distress. Future studies should address the barriers identified if this tool is to be implemented in clinical settings.

Simulation Analysis of Keyway Shaft Cutting Based on Low Frequency Axial Vibration
Authors: Zhang Ningchao , Wang Xufei , Xie Zhiqiang
Published: February 2025

Low-frequency axial vibration cutting technology has advantages in reducing tool wear and improving processing surface quality, but further research is needed on this technology. This paper studies the influence of cutting parameters on the surface of keyway shaft processed by low-frequency axial vibration technology. Firstly, a two-dimensional simulation model of low-frequency axial vibration cutting of workpieces is established. Secondly, the range of the influence of vibration amplitude and tool rake angle on cutting performance is determined respectively. Then, a four-factor three-level orthogonal experiment is designed using vibration amplitude and frequency, tool rake angle, and relief angle. The results show that the optimal combination of the four factors is vibration amplitude of 1.0mm, vibration frequency of 50Hz, tool rake angle of 20°, and relief angle of 20°. Finally, through range analysis, it is determined that the influence of the four factors on cutting performance is in the following order: vibration amplitude, vibration frequency, tool rake angle, and relief angle. This simulation analysis can provide a reference basis for low-frequency axial vibration cutting of shaft-like parts.
A Study on the Causes and Optimization Paths of Rural Inclusive Financial Supply Constraints from the Perspective of Credit Rationing
Authors: Tang Qiuxia , Wu Feng
Published: February 2025

This study, based on the theory of credit rationing, analyzes the causes of supply constraints in rural inclusive finance and constructs expected profit models for commercial banks, farmers, and guarantee institutions to explore their roles in rural financial supply. The research finds that factors such as information asymmetry, high difficulty in credit risk management, and an imperfect guarantee mechanism are the main reasons for the constraints on the supply of rural inclusive finance. Banks, concerned about default risks, adopt high interest rates and strict approval policies, which suppress the financing needs of farmers. Although guarantee institutions can alleviate credit rationing to some extent, their sustainability is challenged. In response to these issues, this paper proposes optimization paths, including improving the rural credit system, optimizing credit risk management, perfecting the guarantee mechanism, and reasonably setting loan interest rates. It emphasizes the need for coordinated efforts among the government, financial institutions, guarantee institutions, and borrowers to promote the improvement and development of the rural financial system through institutional innovation. The conclusions not only expand the application of credit rationing theory in the field of rural inclusive finance but also provide theoretical and practical guidance for policy-making.
“Such is life”: A Marxist Attempt to Comprehend the “Injustice” and “Unfairness” of Capitalism in Peter Carey’s True History of the Kelly Gang
Authors: Dey Rittick
Published: February 2025

Marxism locates all forms of art within existing social conditions of economic and politics, even as it approaches the art-object as an important element within social relations through which particular meanings are standardized and held up as good taste in order to marginalize and ignore other meanings. Marxism sees this battle over meaning as reflecting a battle between dominant and oppressed sections of the society. The essence of the Marxism was undeniably the core of Karl Marx’s own intellectual trajectory throughout his life, and his friend and German philosopher Friedrich Engels brought the practice of Marxism as a concept into popularity. Marxism is inextricably associated with the idea of Capitalism where the bourgeoisie class of the society controls the means of production. The present approach of the paper is to inspect closely True History of the Kelly Gang by Peter Carey that describes the autobiographical narration of a real life Australian bushranger, Ned Kelly through the lens of Marxism with its emphasis on Capitalism. Ned Kelly wanted to write his life's historical account for his unborn daughter in order to reveal the truth and reality behind the injustices and enduring struggle that he suffered at the hand of the society. The physical existence of the Kelly family, especially Ned Kelly has been exploited by the wealthy and powerful people of the time. This study mainly aims to conceptualize Peter Carey’s True History of the Kelly Gang from a Marxist point-of-view. It proposes to understand the embedded features of Capitalism as well as different concepts associated with it in the novel True History of the Kelly Gang.
Meaning Amidst Pandemic: Existential Exploration of Albert Camus's The Plague
Authors: Kritika Kritika , Sharma Devendra Kumar
Published: February 2025

A multitude of disasters and epidemics have plagued human history all over the world since time immemorial. In every era of human history, pandemics have profoundly impacted human existence. As a cataclysmic event, it serves as a poignant backdrop for examining existentialism which is a philosophical movement that emphasizes individual experience, freedom, and the search for meaning in a seemingly indifferent world. The existential dimension of pandemic literature acknowledges the intricate tapestry woven by authors to grapple with the complexities of life in the face of widespread disease as a way of survival. This research paper delves into the existential dimensions of pandemic literature, focusing on Albert Camus's The Plague. Characters in pandemic literature often find themselves in situations where traditional structures and societal norms crumble, leaving them to forge their paths. This study further aims to explore the philosophical underpinnings of existentialism in literary responses to pandemics as well as also seeks to elucidate the existential aspects of the human experience by contemplating questions of meaning, purpose, mortality, and suffering in the face of crisis.
On Mid-Nineteenth Century Forestation Endeavors across Steppe Areas of the Russian Empire: The Case of Kalmyk Steppe, Astrakhan Governorate
Authors:   Gorodovikov Kalmyk State University, Matsakova Natalya P. , Mukhlaeva Danara U. ,   Gorodovikov Kalmyk State University, Amaeva Daglara V. ,   Gorodovikov Kalmyk State University
Published: February 2025

Introduction. The article deals with the issue of afforestation in Kalmyk Steppe of Astrakhan Governorate throughout the mid-eighteenth century which remains topical enough to date. The Republic of Kalmykia clusters with sparsely forested regions and is characterized by absence of natural tree and shrub structures. So, any lack of reforestation can lead to complete desertification of the territory. Therefore, re- and afforestation efforts in the region primarily seek to increase forested areas and prevent the spread of sand. The Republic participates in the federal program ‘Forest Conservation’ integral to the National Project ‘Ecology’. The region’s climate patterns result in extremely low survivability of planted trees, which requires a wide range of forestry measures, including clearing and grubbing, pit digging and seed harvesting. It is also urgent to acquire special equipment and create new jobs in the forestry sector. Goals. The paper seeks to examine the mid-eighteenth forestry efforts across Kalmyk Steppe for an insight into how the question would be solved in the pre-revolutionary period. Materials and methods. Quite a number of nineteenth-century researchers — including local officials — would emphasize the utmost importance of afforestation in Kalmyk Steppe. The article focuses on travel notes made by the academic forester I. Sankevich in the autumn of 1856 when he arrived to review forestry/gardening efforts and analyze native forests in Kalmyk-inhabited districts. The notes describe tree plantations in a number of Kalmyk uluses, outline key afforestation problems, and articulate proposals for the improvement of further activities. This forester’s narrative provides an opportunity to assemble a documented picture of forestry affairs across steppe areas of the mid-eighteenth century Russian Empire, i.e. in earliest stages of such endeavors. I. Sankevich did utter quite essential proposals on forestry management, development of foresters and watchmen’s services. In terms of methodology, our study rests on the principles of historicism and systemacity. The principle of historicism secures the insight into Kalmyk Steppe's (Astrakhan Governorate) afforestation affairs be complete enough in relation to the actual historical conditions, while that of systemity makes it possible to comprehensively examine the reforestation issue with due regard of then Russia' contexts. Results. Afforestation in Kalmyk-inhabited steppes was largely protective and associated with significant difficulties. It is crucial to investigate experiences of professionals who had made considerable forestry efforts in Kalmykia before.
Industrial Hunting and Fishing in the Far North: Labor and Everyday Life of Yakutia’s Hunters, 1960s–1980s

Published: February 2025

Introduction. In the Far North, where harsh climate conditions and underpopulation pose specific challenges to human life, hunting remains an important economic activity. The study of labor and daily life of Yakutia’s hunters provides further insights into the specifics of human adaptation to severe environments and evaluates the contribution of hunters to the region’s development. Goals. The article attempts an analysis into the labor agenda and everyday life of hunters in Yakutia throughout the 1960 to 1980s. To facilitate this, the paper shall investigate the impacts of state policies on hunting arrangements, examine some peculiarities of hunting in the Far North, identify key essentials of their daily (mostly autonomous) work. Materials and methods. The study examines a variety of materials that secure a comprehensive understanding of labor and daily routine of hunters in the 1960s to 1980s. These include documents from state and departmental archives containing data on the development of industrial hunting in Yakutia, working and socioeconomic conditions for hunters, a significant supplement thereto be interviews with hunters proper and their life stories. Special attention is paid to local history works and oral narratives of small villages where hunting remains an important part of the life-support system to date. The research is based on an integrated approach that comprises analyses of historical sources, comparative evaluations, use of ethnographic and oral history tools. Results. The sources have proved instrumental in outlining the daily life of hunters, their working routine, problems and challenges they faced. From the 1960s to late 1980s, hunting and animal husbandry were important sectors of the Soviet economy. Those would bring the so much required income and currencies to the government, which is confirmed by constant attention of highest agencies to hunting arrangements and management. So, hunting was considered an independent and important branch of the national socialist economy. The examined period witnessed a number of important steps aimed at supporting the activity in the Yakut ASSR. The work of hunters was necessary for the state, but it was as needed by indigenous populations since hunting remained an integral part of their life sustenance.

Authors:   Khakass Research Institute of Language, Literature and History, Tinikova Elena E. , Vinokurova Anna V. ,   Khakass Research Institute of Language, Literature and History,   Far Eastern Federal University
Published: February 2025

Introduction. Integration serves a principal trend characterizing the dynamics of sociocultural processes in modern society, and is accompanied by progressing ethnocultural diversity, emergence of new social strata and communities, including mixed-race ones. Individual miscegenation degrees are influenced by various ethnosocial processes, primarily expanded marriage opportunities and increased interethnic unions, essentially contributed to by high migration mobility. Goals. The article seeks to outline matrimonial practices leading to interethnic unions, and attempts insights into marriage and partnership relations that dominate among mestizos (descendants of such unions) — in a regional perspective through the example of Khakassia (Russian Federation). Materials and methods. The study employs an integrated approach based on statistical data and secondary document analysis, including that of scholarly publications examining miscegenation. Survey methods (questionnaires, informal interviews) and personal observations have also proved instrumental herein. Interviews and interrogations were conducted in 2023–2024. Results and conclusions. The paper identifies some key sociodemographic characteristics of Khakassia’s mestizos, describes individual situations and related objective/subjective conditions — prior to interethnic unions and characteristic of marriage, partnership and family patterns (practices) adopted by mestizos proper and their parents. In this regard, it is noteworthy that, firstly, dating and mate choice practices are largely determined by actual environments and — the ethno-contact zone in terms of its heterogeneity or homogeneity, the latter be also contributed to by migration and urbanization. Secondly, the interviewed mestizos of Khakassia tend to focus on manifesting civil and regional identities, which results in lower ethnicity levels and somewhat relaxed attitudes to ethnic intermarriages, including for their own children. The undertaken study expands our understanding of the place and role played by miscegenation in Khakassia’s cross-cultural agenda, specifies the dynamics of interethnic unions, outlines marriage and partnership practices of mestizos. In the future, the obtained results can be used to calculate directions and prospects for the development of regional ethnosocial processes.

Authors:   Tuvan State University, Aiyzhy Elena V. ,   Ethnic School Development Institute, Ministry of Education of the Tyva Republic, Dongak Victoria V. ,   Education IT Support Center of the Republic of Tuva,   Tuvan State University
Published: February 2025

Introduction. The passportization arrangements resulted in that Tuvans acquired surnames and patronymics: the ethnic naming tradition was thus replaced by a Soviet naming formula. So, the transformation processes led to names (ethnonyms) of clan/tribal groups — that had often been used as last names in the years of the Tuvan People’s Republic (TPR), and not that often during the Soviet passportization — were virtually excluded from Tuvan naming formulas, which is largely evident from present-day surname selections of Tuva’s population. So, modern Tuvans — already generations of them — may (and actually do) face drastic difficulties when it comes to identify themselves with a certain clan/tribe, suffer from being unaware of actual genealogies and names of direct ancestors. Goals. The study seeks to examine the transformation of the ethnic naming tradition — into the Soviet naming formula observed after the passportization. To facilitate this, the paper shall specify peculiarities of Tuvan naming practices in the TNR and Soviet Tuva, trace some changes in traditional naming patterns caused by the Soviet passportization. Materials and methods. The work pays particular attention to writings of Tuvan scholars — experts in Tuvan studies, ethnographers — and archival documents, periodicals of the TPR and those from the Soviet era (1940s). The study focuses on surnames of Tuvans that resided in territories supposed to have experienced utmost transformation processes of excluding clan/tribal designations from the naming formula, and particularly on ones selected by natives of Erzinsky District. Results. The passportization arrangements did entail dramatic changes in anthroponomy of modern Tuvan clan/tribal groups. The traditional naming system has undergone changes only to be replaced by different naming patterns, which is confirmed by present-day surnames and naming formulas of Tuva’s population. In particular, ethnonyms (names of clan/tribal groups) have been largely excluded from naming formulas of Tuvans residing in Erzinsky District.

Published: February 2025

Introduction. The study examines patriotism as a component of Bashkortostan’s youth worldviews, which is topical enough since recent decades witness a global struggle of values aggravated by extended mindset control opportunities, including ones targeted on younger generations. The mass attack against traditional values requires deeper philosophical, cultural, and axiological insights for certain countermeasures, lest its consequences should become catastrophic for involved communities. One such ideological basis instrumental in resisting the marginal trends is patriotism supposed to ultimately serve a crucial driver of social development. Materials and methods. The paper analyzes survey materials collected from young individuals residing in the Republic of Bashkortostan in 2023–2024. And it is this age group — their pro-active attitudes and sense of nationhood — that shall determine the country’s future. Results. The article reviews some theoretical approaches to the concept of patriotism, reveals its significance, shows how younger generations tend to perceive contemporary sociopolitical processes, traces mutual impacts of patriotism and various identities. Such public, questionnaire and focus group surveys make it possible to outline the mindset of a particular social cluster, update approaches and methods of education, clarify and actualize related concepts. The obtained data yield an attempted semantic clarification into the concept of patriotism, substantiate processes that influence its shaping and strengthening, and show its relations with identity patterns observed in present-day Russia. The paper depicts the actual state and prospects of patriotism in contemporary Russia, conveys how involved groups tend to understand the essence of this phenomenon. Ultimately, this may help systematize patriotic endeavors for the latter to deliver vivid results. Conclusions. In the context of geopolitical challenges, patriotism gains particular importance. The questionnaire survey of Bashkortostan’s youth shows the issue hits chord with most of them, and only less than 5% of respondents indicated that ‘patriotism is outdated’. Recent studies confirm the strengthening of patriotism nationwide goes hand in hand with the development of all-Russian identity. Moreover, the former becomes a foundation for civic identity and performs identification/integration functions — expected to shape a national idea that would unite Russia’s population regardless of ethnic and religious attributes, this be a key factor to secure the country’s unity and civil harmony in the multicultural society.

Melon is an important crop grown in different regions of the world, and similar to many other crops, it is exposed to many diseases,
including root rot, which is caused by a number of pathogens such as Rhizoctonia solani, Fusarium solani, Macrophomina phaseolina,
Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. melonis (Fom), which causes Fusarium wilt and Monosporascus spp. which causes Monosporascus root rot and
vine decline. To reduce the use of chemical pesticides because of their negative impact on health and the environment, biological control
factors and some safe chemical agents are being increasingly used to control this disease. Many studies have shown the effectiveness of
Trichoderma spp. and Bacillus subtilis, and vermicompost in reducing the disease by inhibiting the fungal growth of these pathogens present
in the soil and inducing resistance in the melon plant against the disease. In addition, the use of algae was found to be efficient in the control
of the disease. The use of some chemical agents, such as potassium salt (K2HPO4) and tannic acid, had a role in inhibiting some pathogens in
the soil. This article summarizes research conducted to test the role of biological factors (vermicompost, microorganisms, and algae) as well
as some chemical agents (tannic acid and K2HPO4) in controlling melon root rot disease.
Keywords: Melon root rot, biological control, K2HPO4, vermicompost, algae.

Plant Protection, 42(4): 436-442. https://doi.org/10.22268/AJPP-001275
Two isolates were characterized as Leveillula taurica based on morphological features and sequencing of ITS regions. The typical
symptoms appeared on Mandalon cultivar as bright yellow spots on the upper side of the leaves, and whitish powdery sporulation on the
corresponding lower surface, with no cleistothecia formation. Light and electron microscopy showed a lanceolate primary and cylindrical
secondary conidia on pseudoidium conidiphores, and other morphological features were similar to those of L. taurica. The ribosomal DNA
internal transcribed spacer (ITS) sequence confirmed the morphological characterization. The results of sequence homology for the two isolates
using BLAST showed similarity to L. taurica species, with a query coverage reached 100% and more than 99% identity with many isolates
registered in the GenBank which infect tomato and other hosts. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first molecular characterization of L.
taurica on protected tomato in the Syrian coast.
Keywords: Tomato, powdery mildew, Leveillula taurica, ITS.

In a survey carried out during the period 2019-2022, two species of Agromyza (Diptera: Agromyzidae) were identified for the first time
in Nagorno-Karabakh region: A. parca and A. varifrons. This study focused on these species’ description, distribution, infestation of host plants
and determination of some morphometric measurements. High infestation rate (65-70%) was noted on Alopecurus pratensis. Morphometric
measurements confirmed the presence of sexual dimorphism in both identified species, especially the male wing length of A. parca in NagornoKarabakh was shorter by 0.7-0.9 mm, and in females 0.3-0.6 mm, whereas the wing length of A. varifrons was shorter by 0.5-0.8 mm.
Keywords: Leaf miners, host-plants, morphometric measurements.
On the Authenticity of Tabuk Treaties about Jizya
Authors: Ibrahim T. K.
Published: February 2025

The article completes the formal (hadithological) and substantive verification of the traditions about the tribute Jizya as the motive for the Tabuk expedition (in the ninth year of the Hijra), which was started in the fourth issue for 2023 and continued in the third issue for 2024. These traditions concerning the imposition of such tribute on Christians and Jews from the cities of Eilat, Azruh, Jarba and Maqna (to which the peoples of Azriat, Tabuk and Tayma are sometimes added) are subjected to critical analysis. The study is conducted in line with the reformist orientation towards the reconstruction of traditional political theology and overcoming the exclusivist-militantist interpretations of the Quran teaching and Prophet’s mission.
Direito, política e âmbitos sociais parciais na configuração de uma nova ordem constitucional em um mundo globalizado
Authors: Radtke Karnopp Laerte
Published: February 2025

O artigo tem como objetivo refletir sobre a (in)suficiência de um modelo constitucional resultante do acoplamento estrutural entre política e direito no cenário globalizado e que alternativa(s) se apresenta(m) diante dele. Servindo-se de metodologia teórico-descritiva seguida de reflexões críticas, que fomenta as reflexões e resultados encontrados, parte do conceito de constituição como acoplamento estrutural entre os subsistemas do direito e da política, proposto pela teoria sistêmica de Luhmann (2016), e que responde a uma sociedade que possui um modelo de subsistema político que apresenta em seu centro o Estado. A insuficiência desse modelo de constituição nacional-estatal foi exposta com o fenômeno da globalização, em que os âmbitos sociais parciais extrapolam as fronteiras do Estado, com novos atores, e os setores sociais passaram a se diferenciar em escala global. O problema que surge é como passa a se configurar a relação entre os subsistemas do direito e da política com os demais âmbitos sociais parciais na conformação de uma nova ordem constitucional. A conclusão principal é a de que, nessa nova configuração, a constitucionalização dos âmbitos parciais ocorrerá pelo acoplamento estrutural entre os mecanismos reflexivos do subsistema jurídico com os de cada subsistema constituído.
