Authors: Ali Yousaf , Khan Ijaz
Published: June 2022

Abstract

This research deals with the uses of abuses of FM radios in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KP) and the recently merged districts – former Federally Administered Tribal Areas (FATA) during the period ranging from 2003 to 2018. Radio is the most effective mean of mass communication. The rapid increase in FM radios and its cheap and easy operation was a source of attraction for many to disseminate their message. The use of FM radio has been on the rapid rise for the last nearly two decades, both for propaganda, political and commercial purposes. The government, private entities and some anti-state elements have made effective use of this media tool. This study analyses the role of government and non-state actors’ launched FM radio stations, which include both the legal stations and the pirated or illegal ones. The objectives and functions of Government run FM radio have been discussed. The use of the FM radio for promotion of Islamic teachings has also been thoroughly looked into. Its use by different militant outfits for propagating their message has also been covered. The commercial use of the tool by private entities has also been taken into account.
Dynamics of Sino-Afghan Relations in the Post-withdrawal of Combat Troops
Authors: Begum Imrana
Published: June 2022

China shares shortest but significant border with Afghanistan to the south-western flank of the Chinese autonomous province of Xinjiang. This border has been creating high-security risks for China owing to the Uyghur separatist activities. To secure this edgy border China has to rely on Afghanistan and Pakistan After the withdrawal of combat troops, Afghanistan became liable for its own security. In order to make Afghanistan secure and stable the Afghan government called the non-state actors to initiate peace talks. For the first time China was involved along with the US and Pakistan in the peace process. The Quadrilateral Coordination Group (QCG) became dysfunctional within a year but China did not avert efforts for peace in Afghanistan. It setup a Trilateral Coordination Group (TCG) as Beijing was determined to continue mediation efforts between the Afghan state and non-state actors by taking Pakistan on board.  After initiating huge economic projects i.e CPEC and OBOR, China’s concerns looms high due to militancy which can cause main hurdle in achieving economic and development goals in the region. Since reducing role in Afghanistan the United States also needs to take China on board owing to its acceptability among various segments of Afghan society. China has an image of benign power that pursue towards constructive collaboration rather than competition.

Published: June 2022

Afghanistan is located at the convergence of Central, Middle and South Asian regions, one of the most world prime geographical locations. Its strategic location and abundant mineral resources have always attracted international community including India. Hence Indian objectives to develop relations with Afghanistan are manifold and decades old. Indian foreign policy is devised by many factors like its bitter relations with Pakistan and its desire of access route to Central Asian Republics by limiting Pakistan’s reach that has serious implications for Pakistan. In view of its past experience, Pakistan perceives Indian extended desire to engage in Afghanistan as a deliberate strategy of using the later as a battleground to show its power and use influence against Pakistan. Terrorist incidents in Balochistan provide evidence and links with Indian RAW activities organized in Afghan areas. So, Indian intention to invest in Afghanistan for infrastructure rebuilding is not as simple as it is often claimed. India has covert objectives of troubling Pakistan. In hostile lunacy, India increased, dramatically, its involvement in Afghanistan when the Taliban era came to an end. India’s interference in Afghanistan is a clear reflection of its desire to execute Afghan land against Pakistan. India sees Afghan war an opportunity to encounter Pakistan’s influence in the region. This research paper will analyze Indian involvement in Afghanistan and its implications for Pakistan. The study is designed to unveil the hidden objectives of fast growing Indo-Afghan relations and evaluates Indian strategies in regional context.

Authors: Siraj Uzma , Afridi Manzoor Khan
Published: June 2022

As modern world run on oil, the unprecedented rise in oil consumption during last century has generated daunting energy security challenges for the oil producing states. It is simultaneously important for energy import dependent nations and exporting nations. However, exporting nations face some captious challenges. In former Soviet Republics, Kazakhstan is one of the richest oil producing state whose over reliance on rent generated by oil exports presents daunting energy security challenges for the states at internal and external levels. On the one hand, Kazakhstan’s economic development owes a great deal to the oil rent. On the other hand, it is also responsible for Kazakhstan’s struggle in establishing a strong democratic political system. In addition, generating rent income face severe security challenges at external level.  The involvement of external powers in Kazakh oil sector, pipeline infrastructure and threats posed by­­­­­ non-state actors, make the whole scenario a great challenge for Kazakhstan. The study examines the challenges rentierism has generated for Kazakhstan at internal and external levels.

Kipling, Railways, and The Great Game
Authors: Abdul Hamid Khan  , Salman Hamid Khan
Published: June 2022

The paper explores Rudyard Kipling’s perspective on the importance of railways in India which is the theme of some of his poetic and prose work. Coupled with this, an overview of the importance of railways and its military, economic and social aspects in Central Asia, in the backdrop of the Great Game of the 19th Century between Russia and Britain is also offered. This study attempts to correlate the significance of the Trans-Caspian Railway (TCR), founded in 1879 and the North Western State Railway in British India formed seven years later in 1886. It also takes into account the railways’ cultural importance for the people of Central Asia. The most important aspect of the subject under assessment is how the construction of railway lines worked as a device and a tool to strengthen the hold of both the colonizing powers. It is in this context that the poet and novelist Rudyard Kipling (1865-1936) glorified the benefits of Indian railways as a stabilizing factor for the strength of the Raj. The paper attempts to establish that railways not only strengthened colonial rule in both Central Asia and India but brought significant social and economic changes in the lives of the people living on both sides of the border. The perspective here is a post-colonial one that offers insights on the effects of colonization, most importantly the modernizing agenda or the enlightenment package attached to the great design of imperialism and empire-building. But the picture that appears after the passing of colonization is hazy when looked at the hybridized and ambivalent view that Kipling held, and also taking into account the hegemony, control, and the politics of aesthetics.
Sino-Russian Role in the 21st Century World Order
Authors: Hassan Farooq  , Muhammad Khan
Published: June 2022

China and Russia have developed an underlying empathy on the transition of the contemporary US-led hegemonic world order. Since the dawn of the 21st century, the two Eurasian powers have been striving for transforming the global system to a multipolar world system. As Beijing and Moscow, along with other emerging powers were already weary of Washington’s unipolar moment and its self-proclaimed authority of overriding the entire international system. In the American worldwide hegemony, the rest of the nations; neither alone nor collectively could challenge its supremacy; as the political, economic and military dominance of the US was ascertained by its ascendency in the post-World war II established international organizations. However, during the past few decades the rapid rise of China; the resurgence of Russia and the relative decline of the US; evidently specify that the era of Pax-American is on the go. Moreover, the launching of Beijing sponsored transnational initiatives can be acknowledged as the pillars of a new multicentric global system in future. Hence, the dynamics of international politics are apparently heading towards the transition of the contemporary world system to a multipolar structure; where besides the US, China and Russia would also play significant role.
New Labor and Immigration laws in Russia and their Impacts on Central Asian Immigrant Workers
Authors: Saud Adam , Qaisrani Irfan Hussain
Published: June 2022

Russia is the second largest destination for immigrant workers after USA in the world. A vast majority, almost one third of this migrant labor force, comes from Central Asian states particularly Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, and Uzbekistan. Millions of workers from these countries contribute substantially to their national economies. A series of new labor and immigration laws introduced by Russian Federation has toughened the workers economic and social conditions. Immigrant workers have to face discrimination by Russian society as well as authorities. Police, after execution of new laws, routinely check ‘Asian’ immigrant workers and extort money from them. The new laws have forced many of the workers to leave Russia either to their home countries or to new destinations especially Kazakhstan and Turkey.

This article tries to explore the reasons for labor migration from Central Asian states to Russia and the treatment they get from both Russian authorities and society. The major focus is on series of new laws implemented by Russia. The research is primarily exploratory, descriptive and analytical in nature.
The Troika’s (the U.S, Russia and China) Competitive Plans of Integration for Central Asia
Authors: Khan Akash , Hongzhong Liu
Published: June 2022

The Central Asian hinterland had been the central point of the 19th century imperial rivalry between Russia and Britain. The importance of Central Asia remains the same, though the players and its dimensions have changed. Two aspects have increased the importance of Central Asia in global politics. First aspect is the geographical position of Central Asia, that the region is landlocked. Therefore, it requires developed overland connectivity routes to approach other states and markets. The second aspect is the abundance of gas and oil reserves in the area. The concept of control over integration is the soul of the current geostrategic situation of Central Asia. The three great powers such as China, Russia and USA are working on their integration plan to provide direction to the region and manipulate the region according to their desires and interests. The great powers try to increase their own influence and to deny it to others (competitors). The great powers struggle for control over the production and marketing of hydrocarbon resources, transit routes and their influence in the region. Competition and collaboration are manifest in the changing competition and competitive interests of the great powers. Beijing enjoys a favorable geographical position over the Washington and is close to the region. Beijing enjoys huge financial and economic leverage as compared to Moscow. China’s initiative is providing outlets to Central Asian Republics (CARs) and consequently, the region is rapidly coming under its influence.
Potential Role of Regional Partners in Socio-Economic Reconstruction of Afghanistan
Authors: Akram Khalid Taimur , Gul Mehreen
Published: June 2022

The socio-economic situation of Afghanistan has been in shambles for almost two decades due to the U.S. invasion on the country. However, with the prospective end of this gruesome conflict, it is imperative to keep in sight and deliberate upon Afghanistan’s socio-economic reconstruction which is a shared responsibility of regional countries. In this regard, it is needless to say that rebuilding of the country cannot be left alone to the cliffhanger of the interests and whims of the major world powers without regional support as was done in the aftermath of Soviet withdrawal in late 1980s. The U.S. influence in South and Central Asia is declining in present times and thereby it has become necessary to evaluate the potential role of all the important regional countries around Afghanistan to ensure the rising of an era of long-lasting stability in Afghanistan. In this context, the role of regional countries and organizations, who are the real stake holders in the peace and development of the post-conflict Afghanistan is of paramount importance and carries great potential. Regional cooperation among the regional states and regional organizations for enhancing connectivity, academic collaboration, trade activities and transport corridors through Afghanistan will naturally translate into the socio-economic reconstruction of the war torn country.

Published: June 2022

CPEC is a mega investment project, termed as a key to rapid economic growth of Pakistan. It is an economic corridor providing connectivity to China, building around which Pakistan is believed to harness economic dividends as time passes. The project has great strategic significance and it contains enormous economic prospects, thus is vital for both the countries. Though, CPEC is not completed yet, it has already started contributing to Pakistan’s economy as investment in energy projects has increased electricity supplies. CPEC has attracting private sector investment in to Pakistan, which as per official estimates, is expected to boost economic growth rate to 5.5 percent in the near future. While CPEC is a game changer for the development, government needs to pay attention to develop human capital (health, education, trainings and skills) and infrastructure (western route) in order to develop lagging regions and to improve the living standard of people living there.

Seagrass Diversity and Distribution in Maribojoc Bay, Bohol, Philippines
Authors: Mascarinas Honey Jane , Julie B Otadoy
Published: June 2022

Seagrasses are major parts of coastal and marine biodiversity. Unfortunately, these aquatic plants and their ecological values are virtually unknown to many Filipinos. This study assessed the seagrasses in Maribojoc Bay, particularly in the coastal areas of the three municipalities, namely Maribojoc, Dauis, Panglao, and the City of Tagbilaran. Ecological assessments were conducted to determine the composition, abundance, distribution, percent cover, diversity, dominance, and evenness of seagrass species. Eight sampling sites were surveyed from October to December 2020. Seven seagrass species were identified, with Thalassia hemprichii as the most abundant (52.79%). There was a significant difference (p>0.05) in seagrass species relative abundance. The Shannon diversity index implies low diversity (H’=1.40) of seagrass species. High dominance (2.98) and low evenness (0.72) were attributed to the high abundance of T. hemprichii in the seagrass beds. The seagrass coverage was characterized by patchy and continuous meadows, with percentage cover ranging from 17.45% (poor) – 60% (good). Maribojoc Bay had a seagrass percentage cover of 38.65%, which can be classified under “fair” conditions. Seagrass community structure implies sparse coverage and low diversity, probably due to the deterioration of once-continuous meadows. However, further studies concerning seagrass communities are recommended in order to implement rehabilitation program or improve current management in Maribojoc Bay.
Bilateral electrodermal activity and asymmetric responses in normal healthy individuals
Authors: LK Sumitra , M Swetha
Published: June 2022

Background: Electrodermal activity (EDA) or galvanic skin response (GSR) is the change in the electrical properties of the skin which is used to measure the sympathetic activity and response. When a painful stimulus is applied, it elicits a sympathetic response by increasing sweat gland activity that, in turn, increases the skin conductance. Central nervous system plays important role in regulating sympathetic activity.

Aims and Objectives: The objectives of this study were as follows: (1) To evaluate the electrodermal responses (EDR) in dominant and non-dominant hand; (2) to compare the EDRs in dominant and non-dominant hand.

Materials and Methods: The study was done among MBBS students of age 18–23 years in physiology research laboratory and EDA values were analyzed using BIOCHART software (version1.0) through physiography. EDA was recorded using skin surface electrodes. Pulse and blood pressure were monitored before and after immersion in cold water. Baseline recording, recording after immersion of hand in cold water, and recovery recording of GSR were noted in dominant and non-dominant hands.

Results: The mean GSR, baseline value, and the GSR after cold stimulation were significantly more in non-dominant hand compared to dominant hand.

Conclusion: Our findings show an increased sympathetic activity in non-dominant hand in response to cold stimulation compared to dominant hand.

Authors: Tidwell Samuel , Greenwood Ken , Franklin Samuel
Published: June 2022

Abstract
Background: Achilles mechanism rupture is a surgical condition involving primary tenorrhaphy with various described means of surgical augmentation and bolstering.
Aim: To report complications and outcomes with a novel Achilles repair technique in dogs using a superficial digital flexor tendon (SDFT) or deep digital flexor tendon (DDFT) allograft.
Methods: Medical records were reviewed for dogs with chronic rupture or deterioration of the Achilles mechanism. Fibrous tissue was excised and either primary tenorrhaphy or reattachment of the tendon(s) to the calcaneus were performed. The surgical repair was supplemented by a SDFT or DDFT allograft, and post-operative immobilization was provided using a transarticular hybrid External Skeletal Fixator (ESF). Complications were classified as minor, major, or catastrophic, and function was classified as full, acceptable, or unacceptable based on established guidelines.
Results: Complications occurred with 6 of 12 repairs including 1 minor, 6 major, and 2 catastrophic complications. The two catastrophic complications were recurrence of tarsal hyperflexion and lameness at 20 weeks and 18 months following surgery. Of the 12 surgeries performed, 2 resulted in full function, 8 with acceptable function, and 2 with unacceptable function at last follow-up 17 - 98 weeks post-surgery (mean 45 weeks) for a success rate of 10/12 cases.
Conclusion: The use of SDFT or DDFT allografts, coupled with an external fixator, can provide a moderate rate of full or acceptable functional outcomes and appears a viable treatment. However, complications were frequent and without a comparison group no conclusions can be drawn about the inferiority or superiority of this technique to other techniques for Achilles mechanism repair in dogs.

Türkiye: Infrastructure Provider for Africa with Benevolence
Authors: TEKİR Gökhan
Published: June 2022

Africa emerged as a region to which Türkiye has engaged enthusiastically since 2003 when the Justice and Development Party came to power. Although Türkiye’s policy in Africa has many dimensions such as political, economic, religious, and cultural, this study focuses on its infrastructure investments. This paper argues that Türkiye’s commitment in infrastructure development in Africa is related with the President Erdoğan’s grand narrative of “The World is Bigger than Five” in Turkish foreign policy. Türkiye is not interested in material gains in the continent but it seeks to elevate and mobilize the African states in its endeavors to reform the current world order and to build a fairer world. Türkiye brands itself as a benevolent enterprising actor in Africa. This study deals with Turkish infrastructure practices and the President Erdoğan and other officials’ emphases on mutual gain and equal partnership in the projects in Africa. It also includes the infrastructure activities of Türkiye’s main competitors on the continent, China and France. While China engages in debt-trap diplomacy characterized by gaining stakes in shares of the infrastructures in exchange of writing off debts, France seeks to maintain its hegemonic status on the continent through infrastructure investments. Türkiye differs itself from these actors with its sincere statements and responsible investments on the continent, raising its image among the African population.

Bu araştırmada Türkiye’de üretilen Bayraktar TB2 Silahlı İnsansız Hava Aracı (SİHA) Sistemi’nin ABD merkezli medya kuruluşları tarafından hangi bağlamda haberleştirildiği incelenmiştir. Bu amaçla, The Wall street Journal ve The Washington Post gazeteleri ile Forbes ve Foreign Affairs dergilerinin 1 Temmuz 2020 - 2021 tarihleri arasında yayımlanan dijital sürümlerinde “armed drones’ anahtar kelimesiyle yapılan arama sonucu ulaşılan Bayraktar TB2 SİHA’lara ilişkin haberler, betimsel analize tabi tutulmuş ve kamu diplomasisi bağlamında yorumlanmıştır. Türkiye’de üretilen silahlı insansız hava araçları stratejik açıdan gerek Türkiye-ABD ilişkileri bağlamında gerekse daha geniş kapsamlı uluslararası ilişkiler bağlamında askeri, siyasi ve ekonomik sonuçlar doğurmaktadır. Bu sonuçların uluslararası çapta faaliyet gösteren ABD merkezli medya kuruluşları tarafından hangi bağlamlarda haberleştirildiğini, bir başka ifadeyle nasıl çerçevelendiğini betimleyerek analiz etmek Türkiye’nin uluslararası topluma dönük olarak sürdürdüğü kamu diplomasisi faaliyetlerinin planlanmasında ufuk açıcı olması bakımından önemlidir. Yapılan analiz sonucunda, incelenen haberlerde beş ortak konunun ön plana çıktığı görülmüştür. Bunlar, Bayraktar TB2 SİHA’ların sonuca etki eden oyun değiştirici rolü, hava savunma sistemleri karşısındaki üstünlüğü ve buna bağlı olarak yeni bir savaş konsepti oluşturması, düşük maliyetle üretilmesi ve son olarak rekabetçi avantajlara dayalı bir ihracat potansiyeline sahip olmasıdır.

We came to this issue before the outbreak of Covid-19, and we release it amidst what feels like an entirely new, and yet also entirely known world-order—a place of multiple and multiplying crises that existed before the pandemic and continue, relentlessly, to render certain people, bodies and homes disposable. It is against this cruelty, but also with a renewed sense of radical hope in justice everywhere, that RHJ first came to be. The majority of contributions to Issue 2.2 emerge from a long process of designing and selecting participants for the event Radical Housing Encounters: translocal conversations on knowledge and praxis. This event was meant to take place in person, in three separate locations simultaneously, at the end of May 2020. Through it, we sought to define and re-define radical housing knowledge and practice, paying particular attention to diverse methodological, theoretical and ethical approaches deployed in both research and militant practice around the globe. While disappointed that the event could not take place as originally planned, its rationale and ethics of care are central to the making of this issue and are reflected in the texts of its contributors as well as the process of organising the issue.

Published: June 2022

Los problemas aditivos con números naturales desempeñan un papel importante en los procesos de enseñanza y aprendizaje. Diversos autores basan sus reflexiones en que muchos problemas aditivos implican una secuencia temporal y los diferentes roles de los números involucrados en el problema. Estas investigaciones encontraron una gran variedad de problemas. El objetivo del presente estudio es clasificar los problemas aditivos con números naturales utilizando el método de análisis-síntesis, a partir de la formulación de conjeturas relacionando variables como estructura, rol de un número, significado del número, lugar de la incógnita y variación del término medio. Es un estudio de paradigma positivista, enfoque cuantitativo, tipo básico. Entre las principales conclusiones se tiene que en las prácticas matemáticas encontramos clasificaciones por el contexto: formales de contexto, matemático y concretos: de contexto extra matemático. Por el número de operaciones: simples de una operación y complejos.
