Döneminin en önde gelen Şiî-İsnâaşerî âlimi olan Şerîf el-Murtazâ’nın kelâmî yaklaşımı bilhassa onun el-Mülaḫḫaṣ fî uṣûli’d-dîn ve tamamlanmamış bu eserin mütemmimi olan eẕ-Ẕaḫîre fî ʿilmi’l-kelâm adlı eserlerinden çıkarılabilir. Ancak bu eserlerden el-Mülaḫḫaṣ fî uṣûli’d-dîn, baş kısmında, eserin mukaddimesiyle birlikte kelâm sistematiğinin ilk konusu olan âlemin hudûsu konusunu kapsayan kısmî bir eksiklikle günümüze ulaşmıştır. Şerîf el-Murtazâ’nın, kelâm sistematiğinde âlemin hudûsunu kanıtlamak amacıyla formüle edilen “Arazlar vardır”, “Arazlar yaratılmıştır”, “Cisim arazlardan yoksun değildir ve varlıkta araz-lardan önce değildir” ve “Yaratılmış şeyden önce gelmeyen şey de yaratılmıştır” şeklindeki dört önermeden ilk ikisine yaklaşımı hâlihazırda bu eserde bulunmamaktadır. Mamafih Şerîf el-Murtazâ’nın bu konuya yaklaşımı, 6./12. yy. Şiî-İmâmî âlimi Ebû Caʿfer el-Mukrî en-Nîsâbûrî’nin onun söz konusu eserleri üzerine bir taʿlîk olan et-Taʿlîḳ fî ʿilmi’l-kelâm adlı eserinden çıkartılabilir. Ebû Caʿfer el-Mukrî en-Nîsâbûrî âlemin hudûsu konusunu da, tıpkı kelâm geleneğinde olduğu gibi, söz konusu dört önerme üzerinden tartışmış ve konuyu el-Mülaḫḫaṣ fî uṣûli’d-dîn’in hâlihazırdaki neşrinde konuyla alâkalı mevcut bölümlerdeki yaklaşım yanında, kelâm geleneğinde konu hakkındaki yaklaşıma da mutabık bir şekilde özetlemiştir. Mamafih bu dört önermenin sonuncusu olan “Yaratılmış şeyden önce gelmeyen şey de yaratılmıştır” önermesi hakkında Şerîf el-Murtazâ’nın bu önermenin müstakil bir önerme sayılmasına gerek olmadığı yönündeki yargısını da aktararak söz konusu önerme hakkında gelenekte bir yaklaşım farklılığının varlığına işaret etmiştir. Konu hakkında başka hiçbir kaynakta geçmeyen bu yaklaşım farklılığına işaret etmek suretiyle de doktrine özgün bir katkı yapmıştır.

Published: September 2022

Facility management (FM) hraje v rámci životního cyklu budovy poměrně významnou roli. Kvalita zavedení FM je pro celoživotní náklady budov společnosti klíčová. Ve fázi projektování budov je již definitivně rozhodnuto o většině provozních nákladů. Nízká kvalita a variabilita projektů pak nejvíce dopadá na efektivitu provozování a tím i FM služeb. Provoz budov se tak stává dražším, komplikovanějším, a tedy i poruchovějším. Tento článek se zabývá procesem syntézy informačního managementu budov (BIM) a FM pro velké obchodní a výrobní společnosti s více než 250 zaměstnanci za využití ČSN EN ISO 41011. Využití metody BIM, respektive vytvoření 6D modelu stavby, může být efektivním způsobem počátku správy budovy v rámci jejího životního cyklu. Případová studie vyhodnocuje aplikaci BIM pomocí nástrojů SMART projektového managementu jako je GAP analýza, gantův diagram, analýza zdrojů a nákladů, PESTLE analýza, Porterův model 5 sil a SWOT analýza. Uvedené analýzy prezentují věcně, technicky a kriticky všechny oblasti a aspekty implementace jako jsou finanční, časové a lidské zdroje, dále pak možná rizika, silné a slabé stránky stejně jako výzvy a hrozby a další související faktory jako jsou politické, legislativní, technické, technologické, bezpečností a jiné. Bylo zjištěno, že benefity v podobě nezanedbatelných úspor v rámci provozu a údržby převažují nad riziky v podobě možného neúspěchu projektu.

Abstract. The remoteness and extreme conditions of the Southern Ocean and Antarctic region have meant that observations in this region are rare, and typically restricted to summertime during research or resupply voyages. Observations of aerosols outside of the summer season are typically limited to long-term stations, such as Kennaook/Cape Grim (KCG, 40.7° S, 144.7° E) which is situated in the northern latitudes of the Southern Ocean, and Antarctic research stations, such as the Japanese operated Syowa (SYO, 69.0° S, 39.6° E). Measurements in the mid-latitudes of the Southern Ocean are important, particularly in light of recent observations that highlighted the latitudinal gradient that exists across the region in summertime. Here we present two years (March 2016–March 2018) of observations from Macquarie Island (MQI, 54.5° S, 159.0° E) of aerosol (condensation nuclei larger than 10 nm, CN10) and cloud condensation nuclei (CCN at various supersaturations) concentrations. This important multi-year data set is characterised, and its features are compared with the long-term data sets from KCG and SYO together with those from recent, regionally relevant voyages. CN10 concentrations were the highest at KCG by a factor of ∼50 % across all non-winter seasons compared to the other two stations which were similar (summer medians of 530 cm-3, 426 cm-3 and 468 cm-3 at KCG, MQI and SYO, respectively). In wintertime, seasonal minima at KCG and MQI were similar (142 cm-3 and 152 cm-3, respectively), with SYO being distinctly lower (87 cm-3), likely the result of the reduction in sea spray aerosol generation due to the sea-ice ocean cover around the site. CN10 seasonal maxima were observed at the stations at different times of year, with KCG and MQI exhibiting January maxima and SYO having a distinct February high. Comparison of CCN0.5 data between KCG and MQI showed similar overall trends with summertime maxima and wintertime minima, however KCG exhibited slightly (∼10 %) higher concentrations in summer (medians of 158 cm-3 and 145 cm-3, respectively), whereas KCG showed ∼40 % lower concentrations than MQI in winter (medians of 57 cm-3 and 92 cm-3, respectively). Spatial and temporal trends in the data were analysed further by contrasting data to coincident observations that occurred aboard several voyages of the RSV Aurora Australis and the RV Investigator. Results from this study are important for validating and improving our models, highlight the heterogeneity of this pristine region, and the need for further long-term observations that capture the seasonal cycles.
On Parameter Bias in Earthquake Sequence Models using Data Assimilation
Authors: Banerjee Arundhuti , van Dinther Ylona , Vossepoel Femke C.
Published: September 2022

Abstract. The feasibility of physics-based forecasting of earthquakes depends on how well models can be calibrated to represent earthquake scenarios given uncertainties in both models and data. We investigate whether data assimilation can estimate current and future fault states, i.e., slip rate and shear stress, in the presence of a bias in the friction parameter. We perform state estimation as well as combined state-parameter estimation using a sequential importance resampling particle filter in a 0D generalization of the Burridge–Knopoff spring-block model with rate-and-state friction. Minor changes in the friction parameter epsilon can lead to different state trajectories and earthquake characteristics. The performance of data assimilation in estimating the fault state in the presence of a parameter bias in epsilon depends on the magnitude of the bias. A small parameter bias in epsilon (+3 %) can be compensated very well using state estimation (R2= 0.99), whereas an intermediate bias (-14 %) can only be compensated partly (R2= 0.47). When increasing particle spread by accounting for model error and an additional resampling step R2 increases to 0.61. However, when there is a large bias (-43 %) in epsilon, only state-parameter estimation can fully account for the parameter bias (R2= 0.97). Simultaneous state- and parameter estimation thus effectively separates error contributions from friction and shear stress to correctly estimate current and future shear stress and slip rate. This illustrates the potential of data assimilation for estimation of earthquake sequences and provides insight into its application in other non-linear processes with uncertain parameters.
Deriving transmission losses in ephemeral rivers using satellite imagery and machine learning
Authors: Di Ciacca Antoine , Wilson Scott , Kang Jasmine , Wöhling Thomas
Published: September 2022

Abstract. Transmission losses are the loss in the flow volume of a river as water moves downstream. These losses provide crucial ecosystem services, particularly in ephemeral and intermittent river systems. Transmission losses can be quantified at many scales using different measurement techniques. One of the most common methods is differential gauging of river flow at two locations. An alternative method for non-perennial rivers is to replace the downstream gauging location by visual assessments of the wetted river length on satellite images. We used this approach to estimate the transmission losses in the Selwyn River (Canterbury, New Zealand) using 147 satellite images collected between March 2020 and May 2021. The location of the river drying front was verified in the field on five occasions and seven differential gauging campaigns were conducted to ground-truth the losses estimated from the satellite images. The transmission loss point data obtained using the wetted river lengths and differential gauging campaigns were used to train an ensemble of random forest models to reconstruct the hourly time series of transmission losses and their uncertainties. Our results show that the Selwyn river transmission losses ranged between 0.25 and 0.65 m3/s/km during most of the 1-year study period. However, shortly after a flood peak the losses could reach up to 1.5 m3/s/km. These results enabled us to improve our understanding of the Selwyn River groundwater – surface water interactions and provide valuable data to support water management. We argue that our framework can easily be adapted to other ephemeral rivers and to longer time series.
Emergent constraints for the climate system as effective parameters of bulk differential equations
Authors: Huntingford Chris , Cox Peter M. , Williamson Mark S. , Clarke Joseph J. , Ritchie Paul D. L.
Published: September 2022

Abstract. Planning for the impacts of climate change requires accurate projections by Earth System Models (ESMs). ESMs, as developed by many research centres, estimate changes to weather and climate as atmospheric Greenhouse Gases (GHGs) rise, and they inform the influential Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) reports. ESMs are advancing the understanding of key climate system attributes. However, there remain substantial inter--ESM differences in their estimates of future meteorological change, even for a common GHG trajectory, and such differences make adaptation planning difficult. Until recently, the primary approach to reducing projection uncertainty has been to place emphasis on simulations that best describe the contemporary climate. Yet a model that performs well for present--day atmospheric GHG levels may not necessarily be accurate for higher GHG levels and vice-versa. A relatively new approach of Emergent Constraints (ECs) is gaining much attention as a technique to remove uncertainty between climate models. This method involves searching for an inter--ESM link between a quantity that we can measure now and another of major importance for in describing future climate. Combining the contemporary measurement with this relationship refines the future projection. Identified ECs exist for thermal, hydrological and geochemical cycles of the climate system. As ECs grow in influence on climate policy, the method is under intense scrutiny, creating a requirement to understand them better. We hypothesise that as many Earth System components vary in both space and time, their behaviours often satisfy large--scale Partial Differential Equations (PDEs). Such PDEs are valid at coarser scales than the equations coded in ESMs which capture finer high resolution gridbox--scale effects. We suggest that many ECs link to such an effective hidden PDE that is implicit in most or all ESMs. An EC may exist because its two quantities depend similarly on an ESM--specific internal bulk parameter in such a PDE, and with measurements constraining and revealing its (implicit) value. Alternatively, well--established process understanding coded at the ESM gridbox--scale, when aggregated, may generate a bulk parameter with a common ``emergent'' value across all ESMs. This single parameter may link uncertainties in a contemporary climate driver to those of a climate--related property of interest, the EC constraining the latter by measurements of the former. We offer illustrative examples of these concepts with generic differential equations and their solutions, placed in a conceptual EC framework.
Novel clustering framework using k-means (S k-means) for mining spatiotemporal structured climate data

Published: September 2022

Abstract. Dramatic increases in climate data underlie a gradual paradigm shift in knowledge-acquisition methods from physical-based models to data-based mining techniques. k-Means is one of the most popular data clustering/mining techniques, and it has been used to detect hidden patterns in climate systems. k-Means is established based on distance metrics for pattern recognition, which is relatively ineffective when dealing with “structured” data that are dominant in climate science, that is, data in time and space domains. Here, we propose (i) a novel structural similarity recognition-based k-means algorithm called structural k-means or S k-means for climate data mining and (ii) a new clustering uncertainty representation/evaluation framework based on the information entropy concept. We demonstrated that the novel S k-means could provide higher-quality clustering outcomes in terms of general silhouette analysis, although it requires higher computational resources compared with conventional algorithms. The results are consistent with different demonstration problem settings using different types of input data, including two-dimensional weather patterns, historical climate change in terms of time series, and tropical cyclone paths. Additionally, by quantifying the uncertainty underlying the clustering outcomes we for the first time evaluated the “meaningfulness” of applying a given clustering algorithm for a given dataset. We expect that this study will constitute a new standard of k-means clustering with “structural” input data, as well as a new framework for uncertainty representation/evaluation of clustering algorithms for (but not limited to) climate science.

A Study to Assess the Prevalence of Levels of Stress Among Infertile Women Attending Infertility Clinic of Selected Hospitals of Bagalkot
Authors: Nishthaben Patel , Kumar Vijay , . Anjali
Published: September 2022

Background of the study: The role that stress plays in infertility remains controversial, largely because despite medical advances a large percentage of infertility remains unexplained.
The relationship between stress and infertility has been debated for years. Women with infertility report elevated levels of anxiety and depression, so it is clear that infertility causes stress. What is less clear, however, is whether or not stress causes infertility. Infertility is defined as the inability to procreate, or carry or deliver a baby naturally. The majority of specialists describe infertility as being unable to get pregnant after having tried for at least one year.
The relationship between infertility and psychological stress is complex. On the one hand, infertile couples are subject to greater stress and have a greater risk of developing psychological disorders compared with normal, healthy couples. On the other hand, high levels of psychological distress have been indicated to increase infertility.
Material and methods: The research approach adopted for this study was quantitative research approach and the design used was descriptive research design. The convenience sampling technique was used to select 100 subjects. The tool used for data collection was Cohen’s perceived stress scale. Paper pencil technique was used for data collection and data obtained were analyzed using both descriptive and inferential statistics.
Results: result indicates that majority 68% of respondent had high level of stress, 27% of respondent had moderate level of stress and 5% of respondent had low level of stress. The overall mean level of stress score was found to be27.05%with SD as 4.75%.Chi-square test was calculated to assess the association between socio demographic variables and levels of stress among infertile women. There is no significant association found between levels of stress among infertile women with their socio demographic variables such as Age, Types of family, Religion, Duration of marriage in year, Educational Qualification, Occupation, Monthly income of family, Family support, Source of information regarding health.
Conclusion: The finding of the study concluded that most of the infertile women having high level of stress and moderate level of stress.

Keywords: Infertile women, Stress levels, Cohen’s perceived stress scale, Socio demographic variables.
THE CHRONIC KIDNEY DISEASE OF UNKNOWN AETIOLOGY (CKDu) EPIDEMICS IN NORTHERN YOBE STATE
Authors: Babagana-Kyari M , Kazeem M. K , Jajere A.A.
Published: September 2022

Bade community in Northern Yobe State has been known as a ‘hotspot’ of chronic kidney disease of unknown source (CKDu). There have been high cases of chronic kidney disease of unknown underlying causes among the population based on hospital records. Despite the various research efforts to uncover the root cause of the disease in the area, the actual aetiology still appeared unknown. This study has reviewed all the research so far carried out regarding the disease so as to provide novel insight that will guide future research. Eleven (11) related peer-reviewed articles that focused directly or indirectly on the disease were surveyed and systematically reviewed. The findings of the relevant published articles totaling (5) were placed within the context of CKDu-related case studies particularly Sri Lankan Nephropathy and other relevant literature. The idea behind this decision is rooted from the similarity of the case as the two affected locales shared in common geography, means of livelihoods (paddy agriculture) and disease pattern. The review revealed that none of the previous investigations has drawn any scientific logical conclusion on the actual aetiology of Bade CKDu. However, previous studies have implicated exposure to heavy metals in various mediums (water and food resources) as potential ‘trigger’ of the disease. Therefore, it is suggested that adopting geospatially-fluent CKDu aetiology scouting approach could help to uncover the underlying cause of the disease in the area. The outcome that will emanate from adopting such type of approach will counter or confirm the existing speculations on the aetiology disease and in turn, will help concerned authorities address the issue.

Published: September 2022

This paper aims to explore the learning of working children on the streets. This study takes qualitative approach with semi-structured interviews as method. In total, 10 interviews were conducted with key informants aged 12-16 in Rawalpindi city. Social learning theory of Albert Bandura has been used as theoretical frameworks. The main themes are presented through case studies of three children who shared their learning on the streets. It is argued in this paper that children have to work in the streets in an adult environment due to their familial responsibilities especially in COVID-19, and sacrificing studies. And they are working in that environment –the street (an urban space) - which is created by adults and operated by rules and regulations of adults, where children face different exploitation including sexual abuse, discrimination and learning tricks of wrong doings. It is also argued that children can carry all these learning and experiences to rest of their lives and practice wrong doings in their professional lives as well. It is concluded that it is important for adults to give children an environment where moral judgment of right and wrong prevails and children can distinguish them and practice good things in their lives. Keywords: Learning tricks, street, COVID-19, exploitation, moral judgment

The study intended to find out the impact of negative life events on suicidal ideation and moderating role of dispositional optimism between former and the later, among college students during COVID-19 in Pakistan. Purposive convenience sample of 300 college students (Mean age=18.45 years, SD=1.374) were taken from different colleges of Pakistan and the data was collected through online Google forms survey questionnaires. Negative life events, dispositional optimism and suicidal ideation among college students were examined. Correlation analysis showed that there was a significant positive correlation between negative life events and suicidal ideation (r= .14,*p<.05) and markedly low and negligible positive correlation of dispositional optimism with negative life events and suicidal ideation (r=.11,*p<.05). Regression analysis revealed that negative life events (p<0.05, t=2.34) and dispositional optimism (*p<0.05, t=1.69) have significant positive impact on suicidal ideation. Moderation analysis illustrate that dispositional optimism plays significant (***p<0.001, *p<0.05) moderating role between the relationship of negative life events and suicidal ideation. It was discovered that the study variables revealed a positive correlation. Furthermore, in the times of COVID-19, perceiving adverse life events with a positive thinking and optimistic temperament had a beneficial impact on conceptions of taking one's own life, and positive future expectations had a moderating effect between gloomy life incidents and self-killing thoughts.

Formulation Development and Evaluation of a Novel Emulsion Composition Embracing Aspirin and Glycerol in the Treatment of Ischemic Stroke
Authors: Poluri Koteswari , Tippani Swetha , Prasanna P Laxmi , Saha Swapna , D Akshitha , Saneela Sana
Published: September 2022

An ischemic stroke occurs when the blood supply to part of the brain is interrupted or reduced, preventing brain tissue from getting oxygen and nutrients. Brain cells begin to die in minutes. Ischemic stroke can be treated by using Antiplatelet drug such as aspirin as an immediate treatment which may prevent blood clots and improve recovery after stroke. Glycerol is also used as it decreases the edema in ischemic stroke. The aim of the present investigation is to develop a novel formulation of oil in Glycerol emulsion comprising aspirin in the treatment of ischemic stroke and in vitro evaluation. The oil in glycerol emulsion was prepared by high shear homogenization and prepared emulsions were evaluated for particle size, drug content, in vitro drug release and stability. Based on log P values of aspirin, olive oil is selected as oil phase and tween 80 was used as emulsifying agent. Total 10 formulations F1to F10 were prepared and among these, in F1-F6 phase separation was observed within 24 hrs whereas F8 to F10 were stable for one week and later creaming was observed and it is re-dispersible. The particle size was determined by optical microscopy and the average particle size for F8, F9 and F10 were 6.04, 3.38 and 7.8 µm respectively. Drug content was determined as 68±3.95%,108±5.816%, 103±4.61% respectively in compositions F8, F9 and F10. Rate of drug release followed first order kinetics and an immediate burst release effect was observed within 15 minutes. It is concluded that olive oil and glycerol emulsions containing aspirin is prepared successfully and evaluated. It is a promising formulation approach for co administration of aspirin and glycerol in the treatment of ischemic stroke. The formulations were physically and chemically stable. In vivo application of this formulation will be done in suitable animal models in future.

Published: September 2022

According to WHO, Pharmacovigilance (PV) is characterized as the science and exercises identifying with the recognition, appraisal, comprehension and anticipation of unfavourable impacts or some other medication related issue. It is an important part of our medication guideline framework. As we know, India is the world's second most populated country with very nearly one billion dynamic and potential medication buyers and clients. Though our country is participating in Uppsala Monitoring Centre, its obligation to that data base is by and pretty much nothing. This issue is due to the lack of proper ADR (Adverse drug reaction) monitoring system and awareness among associates of medicines and health workers. PV program mainly aims for patient care, patient safety and monitoring of adverse drug reaction. For the accurate practice of PV in India, there are need of more clinical preliminaries and clinical examinations. For the safe and sensible use of medication, a perfectly working PV system is mandatory. PV will be invaluable in India not only for medical services experts, regulatory authorities, pharmaceutical organizations but also for the consumers to screen the medicines. This article gives a methodical audit of the pharmacovigilance program in India (PvPI) from its starting point to the current situation and furthermore examines the future parts of pharmacovigilance program in India.

Published: September 2022

Fungi are everywhere, in forest and fields in soils, in our buildings and in the biotech corporation. Fungi are a source of food and fascination to people. Fungi feed by digesting materials produced by animals and plants. Fungi have evolved remarkable metabolic versatility for utilizing diverse nutrient substrates for growth in their saprophytic, symbiotic and pathogenic lifestyles. Fungi regulate their metabolism according to environmental nutrient availability through elaborate transcription regulatory programs. The evolution of multicellular eukaryotes improved the dimensions and complexity of organisms, allowing them to exploit the terrestrial habitat. Fungi first advanced water however made the transition to the land through the development of specialized structures that prevented they’re drying out. First categorized as vegetation, fungi are now taken into consideration one of kind sufficient from plants to be located in a separate country and actually are greater like animals than plants. According to the current view animals occupy one of the seven or eight major branches of eukaryote life.

The main purpose of this research work was to design and process optimization of oral floating drug delivery system of Clarithromycin floating tablets by using the hydrophilic polymer Hydroxylpropyl methyl cellulose and gas generating agent sodium bicarbonate and citric acid. A 32 randomized full factorial design was used to study. In this design 2 factors were evaluated, each at 3 levels and experimental trials were performed at all 9 possible combinations. The independent and dependent variables are selected for optimization study. The radio-labelled floating tablets were prepared by adding barium sulphate in the optimized formulations for in- vivo radiographic study. The Results of multiple regression analysis indicated that both factors X1 and X2 significantly affected on the dependent parameters. The formulation was optimized on the basis of floating ability and in-vitro drug release. It should be concluded that as the time increases, the swelling index was increased, because weight gain by tablet was increased proportionally with rate of hydration. In-vivo radiographic studies of the optimized formulations were performed using New Zeal Albino rabbits by X-ray imaging technique. The in-vivo X-ray imaging and radiographic studies clearly indicated that the prepared optimized floating tablets were retained in the rabbit stomach over a prolonged period of time and had good in-vivo performance. Radiological evidences suggest that the formulated floating tablets of antibiotics were well floated more than 6 h in rabbit stomach.

Different evaluation parameter i.e., physical testing, pH, foaming, viscosity etc. were carried out on the formulation of different grades. This study “result” divulges that development of Polyherbal Handwash could have great potential for superficial hygiene of hands in turn thus trigger the good health. The usefulness of polyherbal handwash consisting of Andrographis peniculata, Zingiber officinalis, Citrus limoni against most common pathogens in dermatology, suggesting possible role in treating multidrug-resistant mixed infections. This action may be attributed to the synergistic effects for its use. Thus, proved to be most effective product over Healthy Human Hygiene.
A Short Review on Floating Drug Delivery System
Authors: Aaditya R. Nikam , Ashwini C. Nikum , Azam Z. Shaikh
Published: September 2022

In the latest years, scientific and technical progresses have been made in the study and progress of novel drug delivery systems by overcoming physiological difficulties such as short gastric residence times and unpredictable gastric emptying times. Gastric emptying of dose form is extremely variable process and ability to prolong and control the emptying time. Gastric transit time is valuable asset for dosage forms, which reside in the stomach for a long period of time than conventional dosage form. Several approaches are currently utilized in the prolongation of the gastric residence times, including floating drug delivery systems, swelling and expanding systems, polymeric bioadhesive systems, modified-shape systems, high-density systems and other delayed gastric emptying devices. The purpose of writing this review on floating drug delivery systems (FDDS) was to compile the recent literature with special focus on the principal mechanism of floatation to achieve gastric retention. This review explains briefly about types of floating system, advantages, limitation, floating mechanism, factors affecting floating system, drug candidates suitable for floating, evaluation parameters and application of the system.

Less water, more strawberries: A new approach to drip irrigation
Authors:   PricewaterhouseCoopers Sustainability LLC, Noguchi Koichi , Saito Hirotaka ,   Tokyo University of Agriculture and Technology
Published: September 2022

Our analysis showed the ring-shaped emitter, a cost-effective alternative to conventional subsurface drip irrigation emitters, enabled higher water-use efficiency than the conventional SDI emitter as it better retained water in the root zone. While subsurface drip irrigation (SDI) is effective in improving agricultural water-use efficiency and hence suppressing pressure on freshwater resources, its capital and maintenance costs are a hindrance to its dissemination. The use of the ring-shaped emitter for SDI systems, which entails less capital and maintenance costs, led to more root water uptake, less water loss by evaporation and deep percolation than the conventional point-source emitter in our 24-hour simulations of soil water dynamics for strawberry cultivation. Further testing of the ring-shaped emitter’s performance in field in a longer timeframe will aid in its practical application.

بين العروض والنقد الأدبي الحديث
Authors: الدوش صلاح أحمد
Published: September 2022

حاول الباحث في هذه الدراسة أن يثبت أهمية العروض العربي كأساس نقدي ضمن أسس   النقد الأدبي الحديث وذلك من خلال توضيح مفهوم الصورة الموسيقية التي يدخل ضمنها هذا البناء العروضي ، وبيان أهمية الوزن الشعري في هذه الصورة الموسيقية ،وأثره في تشكيل القيمة الدلالية للشعر .            

          وقد توصل الباحث إلى أن العروض العربي – كنظرية في مجال الشعر العربي – لم تجد الاٍهتمام الكافي في مجال الفكر النقدي الحديث. وقد حاول الباحث استقصاء الأسباب التي أدت إلى ذلك . ثم عرض لبعض السمات والملامح النقدية – من وجهة نظره - التي يلتقي فيها العروض بالنقد الأدبي الحديث ، مدعما آراءه ببعض التطبيقات النقدية .
L’interculturalité: Perspectives d’une approche d’enseignement/apprentissage du FLE au Soudan
Authors: Adam Ahmed Eisa , Mohamed Ahmed Hamid
Published: September 2022

This article deals with problems of teaching/learning French in Sudan. In particular, we try to shed the light on the necessity of using an intercultural approach as a methodological base to rethink both French language teaching/learning objectives and the specific Sudanese context. Our method, in this paper, is basically applied in written texts used as a support in our classes of language, considering that texts are usually very culture-coded. This work is largely inspired by our field experience as French language teachers in Sudan. Besides, regarding the recent tendencies concerning the renewal of methods and approaches in teaching/learning foreign languages, the present paper is tended to be a humble contribution in the same direction. Our intention is thus to go beyond the narrower perspectives of a simple adoption of the ready-made methods that might not fit in specific Sudanese context.

The Sudanese Role in Negotiating and Reaching a New Nile Waters Agreement, 1949-1959
Authors: Taha   Fadwa Abdel Rahman Ali
Published: September 2022

This paper considers the issue of the Nile waters between Egypt and the Sudan during the period 1949-1959 until a Nile Waters Agreement was signed in November 1959. The paper concentrates on the Sudanese stand and the hot debates on the issue as they are not dealt with in the available sources. This Sudanese stand and their adamancy were the main reason for the abortive negotiations conducted during this period. Not surprisingly that the 1959 Agreement was signed only when the

democratic regime was toppled by military men.
