Authors: METİN Muzaffer , ULU Arif
Published: January 2020

Demiryoluna bağlı titreşimler, yolcuların veya demiryolunun
çevresinde yaşayan insanlar için bastırılması gereken en önemli sorunlardan
biridir. Titreşimlerin öncelikle kaynakta, yani demiryolu üzerinde bastırılmaya
çalışılması esastır. Bu nedenle, demiryolu üst yapı bileşenleri, titreşim
yalıtımında kullanılan ray pedleri gibi çeşitli elastik elemanlar içerir. Bu
çalışmada, İstanbul demiryolu trafiğinde kullanılan iki farklı demiryolu üst
yapısı, demiryolu aracı çeşitli hızlarda geçerken test edildi ve tekerlek-ray etkileşiminin
oluşturduğu titreşimler, yolcu konforu ve çevre ile ilgili standartlara uygun
olarak karşılaştırıldı. Yayılan titreşimleri karşılaştırmak için aynı hat
üzerinde yerleştirilmiş tek ve çift elastomerik tabakalara sahip demiryolu
üstyapıları kullanılmıştır. Standartlara göre bazı değerlendirmeler içeren bu
deneysel kıyaslama çalışmasında, bu iki demiryolu üst yapı tipinin hafif metro
hatlarında titreşim yalıtımı açısından davranışları ölçüm sonuçları
kullanılarak ortaya konmuştur. Sonuç olarak, üstyapıda tek katman yerine çift
katmanlı elastomer kullanıldığında, hat çevresinde yaşayan insanların konfor
seviyelerinde %64’e, araç içerisinde bulunan yolcuların konfor seviyelerinde
ise %54 varan iyileşme gerçekleşmiştir. Ayrıca, hat çevresinde bulunan
binaların güvenliği bakımından yapılan araştırmada 70 HZ’den büyük
titreşimlerde anlamlı bir azalma gözlenmiş ve hatta en az 5 m mesafeye kadar
konut amaçlı bina yapılabileceği sonucuna ulaşılmıştır.

Authors: Permadi M. Galih , Tjahjono Boedi , Baskoro Dwi Putro Tejo
Published: January 2020

Bencana longsor merupakan salah satu bencana yang sering melanda Indonesia. Data yang dihimpun dari BPBD Kota Bogor, menunjukkan pula bahwa kejadian longsor menempati urutan pertama dari 6 jenis bencana yang ada di Kota Bogor; pada tahun 2017 terdapat 179 kejadian longsor (40.5%) dari 442 kejadian bencana yang tercatat. Guna mendukung program pembangunan di kota ini, penelitian risiko longsor sangat diperlukan. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menilai dan memetakan risiko longsor Kota Bogor dan merumuskan rekomendasi mitigasinya. Metode yang digunakan adalah Multi Criteria Evaluation dimana bobot dan skor dari setiap parameter diperoleh dari Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP). Hasil yang diperoleh menunjukkan bahwa tingkat kerawanan dan bahaya longsor tertinggi luasannya terdapat di Kecamatan Bogor Selatan, hal ini sesuai dengan kondisi landform yang ada di wilayah tersebut, dimana 60.5% wilayahnya merupakan bentuklahan lereng bawah kerucut vulkanik denudasional, tebing sungai, serta lembah dan teras alluvial. Namun demikian untuk risiko tertinggi luasannya terdapat di Kecamatan Bogor Utara. Hal ini dikarenakan dominasi penggunaan lahan permukiman dan jumlah penduduk yang tinggi, sehingga faktor kerentanan menjadi indikator naiknya nilai risiko. Untuk Kota Bogor yang dominan dengan penggunaan lahan permukiman, arahan mitigasi yang direkomendasikan meliputi perlakuan teknik sipil, teknik vegetatif, dan teknik sosial pada kelas risiko sedang dan tinggi. Kecamatan Bogor Selatan dalam hal ini merupakan kecamatan yang paling luas areanya untuk diterapkan tindakan mitigasi.

Überdosis Feldkompetenz?
Authors: Tietel Erhard
Published: January 2020

Der Text greift die Diskussion um die Vorund Nachteile einschlägiger Feldkompetenz und Felderfahrung auf und skizziert die Gefahr, dass eine hohe Expertise im Beratungsfeld sowohl dazu führen kann, dass Berater und Beraterinnen die nötige Distanz zum Feld missen lassen, als auch dazu, allzu schnell von einer reflexiven Haltung in den Modus der Fachberatung oder in Handlungsanweisungen abzugleiten. Gibt es also eine »Überdosis Feldkompetenz«? Der Autor diskutiert dies an seinem zentralen Arbeitsfeld – der Beratung von Betriebsratsgremien sowie von Betriebsratsvorsitzenden – und begründet, warum eine genaue Kenntnis des Wandels der betrieblichen Arbeitsbeziehungen, der Veränderungen der Betriebsratsrolle und der Dynamik des arbeitspolitischen Feldes für Supervision und Coaching mit betrieblichen Interessenvertretern unabdingbar ist.

K. S. Aksakov’s Note “About Internal State of Russia” through the Eyes of Slavophiles and Westerners (I. S. Aksakov and A. D. Gradovsky)
Authors: Surovtseva Ekaterina Vladimirovna
Published: January 2020

K. S. Aksakov’s note “About Internal State of Russia” delivered to Alexander II (1855; the first publication 1881) is examined in the context of the previously unexplored genre of “letter to the tsar”, in particular, “letter-declaration”. The researcher analyses in detail critical comments on K. S. Aksakov’s note, which have not previously attracted researchers’ attention - I. S. Aksakov’s article “Some Remarks Concerning K. S. Aksakov’s Note”, in which the author highly appreciated the analysed work, criticism on the part of A. D. Gradovsky (“Slavophilic Theory of Statehood”), who misinterpreted K. S. Aksakov’s conception of the Russians’ “non-statehood”, and I. S. Aksakov’s well-grounded response to criticism (“Comments on A. D. Gradovsky’s Publication”) providing an interpretation of the “Note”.
Specificity of Speech Behaviour of O. E. Mandelstam’s Lyrical Hero (by the Example of “Kamen (Stone)” Poetical Collection)
Authors: Chernova Yuliya Vladimirovna , Kuznetsova Galina Vasil'evna
Published: January 2020

The article examines speech behaviour of a lyrical hero of O. E. Mandelstam’s poetical collection “Kamen (Stone)”. The communicative approach to analysing a lyrical poem allows considering it as complicated interaction of the author and a reader (outer dialogue), a lyrical hero/heroine and other personages (inner dialogue). Speech behaviour of O. E. Mandelstam’s lyrical hero involves a limited range of speech genres: question, reproach, command and request. A question dominates among a lyrical hero’s speech genres, which allows concluding that the main features of his character are uncertainty, tendency for reflection and self-analysis.

Authors: Anisimova Aleksandra Naumovna , Efremova Yuliya Ivanovna
Published: January 2020

The article is devoted to studying the creative work of the Swiss literary classic Conrad Ferdinand Meyer, a representative of the XIX-century realism whose works were published in our country at the beginning and in the middle of the XX century but still remain little studied. The paper analyses artistic dominants of C. F. Meyer’s novella “Gustav Adolf’s Page”: storyline, subjective organization and space characteristic. Special attention is paid to the motive analysis. For the first time the authors consider the motive of double identity in C. F. Meyer’s novella in its correlation with other motives (love, death, war, game), examine the basic storyline and problematics of this literary work.
Bestiary Metaphorics in F. Wedekind’s Dilogy “Lulu”
Authors: Pridorogina Elena Aleksandrovna
Published: January 2020

The article is devoted to analysing bestiary images in the dilogy “Lulu” by the German dramatist Frank Wedekind (1864-1918). The study focuses not on the traditional mythological interpretation of certain images but on their interrelation with F. Nietzsche’s philosophical conceptions. Specificity of the “beast” notion and peculiarities of the opposition “beast - human being” in Wedekind’s creative work are revealed. Within the framework of the research, the paper examines the motive of animal training, which is a key one in Wedekind’s creative work. Relying on the findings, the researcher suggests deeper interpretation of the “Lulu” dilogy taking into account specificity of the author’s conceptions.
The English Spy Novel of the XXI Century: Peculiarities and Prospects of the Genre Development
Authors: Soina Anastasiya Sergeevna
Published: January 2020

The article aims to provide a survey of modern “spy” literature and to identify the genre transformations. The author relies on the existing studies on the XX-century spy novel. Originality of the paper is determined by the fact that specificity of the English spy novel of the XXI century has not been previously investigated in domestic and foreign literary criticism. The researcher concludes on the non-traditional structure of modern texts and proposes a hypothesis on the existence of the genre variation (dominant) based not on “text affiliation” (tragic, satirical spy novel) but on “geographical location” - the English spy novel proper. The findings can be used while studying a spy novel, both English and western.
Verbal Term Definition as a Linguistic Form of Expressing Actions, Processes, States, Relations (by the Material of Medical Sublanguage)
Authors: Kazarina Svetlana Georgievna , Gulyaeva Tat'yana Yur'evna , Baek Kyung Hee
Published: January 2020

The paper suggests a new approach to defining verbs - medical terms often not represented in special lexicographical dictionaries. Definitions of verbal terms are formulated taking into account requirements for such definitions. Conceptual and verbal models that express hypero-hyponymic and part-whole relations between special notions are described. The conducted research has allowed compiling a sample dictionary fragment, which can be used to develop a semantic classification of the Russian-language verbal medical terminology.
Neologisms Formation through the Prism of Culture-Oriented Linguistics (by the Material of the Modern German Language)
Authors: Volina Svetlana Aleksandrovna , Doinikova Marina Igorevna
Published: January 2020

The article reveals the communicative potential of word-formation in the modern German language. Word-formation process is determined by the necessity to fill linguistic lacunas and is associated with linguistic creativity. The authors point out that neologisms always contain a national and cultural component. Importance of the national and cultural aspect when teaching foreign-language neologisms is emphasized. The paper reveals importance of adequate decoding of word-formative structures, which requires both linguistic and background knowledge that plays a special role in cross-cultural communication.
Correlation of Metaphor Logical Structure and Cognitive Dissonance Phenomenon (by the Material of the English Language)
Authors: Zayats Anna Aleksandrovna
Published: January 2020

The article traces interrelation of the cognitive dissonance phenomenon and the metaphor in the process of communication. The paper aims to analyse the metaphor as a possible cause of cognitive dissonance. The study is conducted within the framework of the logical approach to studying the nature of the metaphor, the metaphor is represented as a deductive argument with unstated premise - enthymeme. Originality of the study lies in the fact that metaphorical models are considered as logical structures. The findings allow concluding that the use of metaphors in the communicative situation does not lead to cognitive dissonance. The conclusions are based on logical analysis of metaphors, contextual analysis and lexicographical analysis.

Voice quality and coda /r/ in Glasgow English in the early 20th century
Authors: Soskuthy Marton , Stuart-Smith Jane
Published: January 2020

We present acoustic and auditory analyses of changes to coda /r/ and voice quality in Glasgow English in the early 20th century. Our initial acoustic analysis suggests that /r/ was weakening across the board based on an increase in F3. However, an auditory analysis of the same data finds no significant changes. An acoustic analysis of the same speakers’ vowels reveals that the shift in F3 is not unique to /r/. It reflects a change in voice quality, which we link to velarisation using Vocal Profile Analysis. We then reanalyse the acoustic /r/ data controlling for voice quality, and find only moderate changes that are restricted to females. These findings provide new evidence for diachronic changes in voice quality, contribute to our understanding of the development of /r/ in Glasgow English, and highlight the importance of investigating speech sounds in their broader context using multiple methodologies.
Ethical by Design: Measuring and Managing Digital Ethics in the Enterprise
Authors: Radclyffe Charles , Nodell Richard
Published: January 2020

Since the Cambridge Analytica/ Facebook scandal the question of how to manage Ethics in the context of Digital technologies has risen in prominence from afterthought, to keynote agenda item. The problem is not simply that Ethics as a domain of governance is not well understood by the technology industry, but that it is either restricted in mainstream dialogue to a discussion of risk and safety issues, or it is conflated with regulatory compliance. The terms used to for structures to manage ethics, such as ‘Ethics Boards’ and ‘Ethics Councils’ are also used interchangeably. What this paper proposes is to define Digital Ethics in terms where it becomes clear that it is necessarily a separate topic of governance to regulatory compliance and technical risk/ safety management. This paper also suggests some defining characteristics of Ethics Boards and Councils and proposes alternative models. Finally, a case is made for how the quality of ethics governance can be measured and therefore managed, in order to build comparisons between organisations in language that will be familiar to investors and consumers. It is believed that in doing so, the difficulty of talking of this subject in purely subjective terms can be avoided.
Elegant Security: Concept, Evidence and Implications
Authors: Farrell Graham , Tilley Nick
Published: January 2020

Some security devices can be ugly, inconvenient or an infringement on civil liberties. This means that security is a quality of life issue as well as one of crime prevention. Here we propose that, in addition to preventing crime and being cost effective, security should preferably be ethical and unobtrusive, aesthetically neutral or pleasing, and the easy-to-use or default option. We describe security with such characteristics as ‘elegant’. We use two case studies to explore how, as many types of crime have declined in recent decades, there was an increase in elegant and a decrease in inelegant security. We suggest that the lifecycle of some security technologies sees them evolve from inelegant to elegant, that continual improvement is required to keep ahead of offender adaptations, and that inelegant security can fall into disuse even if it prevents crime. It is hoped that this conceptual contribution might inform discussions about the appropriate form and role of security.

Authors: Dambugolla Padmini
Published: January 2020

Many countries around the world both developed and developing are trying to promote entrepreneurship in order to boost rural economy. However, there has been no systematic attempt to look at it from a youth angle as their career goal. The main objective of this study was to examine the entrepreneurship development policy and institutional support dimensions towards the entrepreneurial expectations for choose entrepreneurship as their career goal referring to youth segment. For this study, 70 registered youth entrepreneurs from 10 different sectors of the VIDATHA program of Ministry of Technology and Research (MTR) during the year 2012 were identified. The primary data was collected directly from a youth through questionnaire. Regression model was utilized for predicting the level of youth entrepreneurs’ expectation as a dependent Variable and the independent variables categorized using entrepreneurship policy criteria (policy relevance, efficiency, effectiveness, sustainability) and Institutional support criteria (entrepreneurial culture, education, business development support and access to finance). The results of the study advocated that promotion of entrepreneurial culture and business development support services were the significant contributors for the youth entrepreneurs’ expectations towards Institutional Support and the efficiency of the policy is the significant unique contributor to the prediction of youth entrepreneurs’ expectation towards entrepreneurship policy. The major challenge faced by youth entrepreneurs is to transform their enterprises into commercially viable, competitive business. Also entrepreneurship development projects have different goals and objectives, in terms of target group, political agenda and types of interventions. Further, there is no single policy model for encouragement and promotion of entrepreneurial activity among youth. Therefore, it is recommend establishing single institutional framework for promotion of entrepreneurial activity among youth and suggesting for formulating single policy model for encouragement and promotion of entrepreneurial activity among youth and key promoting agency with the combination of all sectors.
Leaderships in the Global South: On BP Koirala's Economic Thinking
Authors: Nepal Ratna Mani
Published: January 2020

Political leaderships in the global south emerged in course of anti-colonial movements or movements against domestic authoritarianism. The leaderships in these liberation movements also laid foundation for social and economic development of the respective countries, besides political transformation. This article analyzes economic thinking of BP Koirala of Nepal, who led the land-locked country to transform from Rana oligarchy to political democracy. Information by interviews and narrative analysis show that BP's economic perspectives were in germinal form, though he discussed on varieties of issues such as industrialization, land reform, tax, foreign aid, technology and planning. BP's concept on these economic issues represent desire and aspirations of a land-locked underdeveloped country Nepal in the fifties, which was about to relieve it from Rana oligarchy and embark into socio-economic modernization. His ideas were contextual that refer to his ideals of democracy and socialism and his affiliation with foreign leaderships and institutions. Besides the pursuit of economic development, BP's views on economy represent his political strategies to counteract feudal social and political order, seek his leadership's legitimacy, and build a broader coalition for political objectives. Nevertheless, BP's economic views seem to be people centric and hence tend to influence governments as prescription policies.

This study aims to explore and understand the religious values contained in the Bakar Batu tradition for people in the land of Papua. With a qualitative approach, this research was conducted to find religious values in the culture of society, and describe the various meanings of the community towards these values. After going through the process of interviews, observation and study of documents, this study found that the tradition of Bakar Batu, which is an indigenous culture in the land of Papua, has undergone a transformation in governance, and the purpose of its tradition. Bakar Batu, which used to be a culinary wisdom of the people in the land of Papua, transformed into one of the solvents of vengeance and wound fusion for people who had previously fought each other. Bakar Batu also functions as a medium for channeling the blessings of the Supreme Being to the community, through the hands of executors of tradition. Tolerance, mutual cooperation and mutual respect are also reflected in the noble values of the implementation of the Bakar Batu tradition in the midst of the Papuan people. Bakar Batu is now a unifying medium between indigenous Papuans, people living in Papua, and migrants. The depth and noble wisdom of the process of Bakar Batu implementation also shows the achievement of religious values that have the potential to realize shared ideals towards a land of peace in Papua.

An introduction to the Kaluza-Klein formulation
Authors: Torres del Castillo G. F.
Published: January 2020

We give an elementary introduction to the Kaluza-Klein formulation, in which the gravitational and the electromagnetic fields are represented in the geometry of a five-dimensional space. We show that, in the framework of general relativity, the interaction of a point particle, or of a charged spin-zero field, with a gravitational and an electromagnetic field can be obtained through the metric of a five-dimensional space. We also show that the symmetries of the metric of this five-dimensional space lead to constants of motion for the point particles, or to operators that commute with the Klein--Gordon operator. A common misunderstanding related to the unification of gravitation and electromagnetism given by the Kaluza--Klein formulation is discussed.

Corporate Governance as a Determinant of Stock Price Synchronicity: Empirical Evidence from Pakistan
Authors: Ahmad Adnan , Manzoor Humera , Khan Muhammad Ibrahim
Published: January 2020

The objective of this study is to investigate the association of investor protection (IP) and stock price synchronicity (SPS). Based on the theory that a strong IP reduces information asymmetry (IA) and enhances the quality of firm fundamental information through disclosures of annual reports. Such information is then considered for investment decisions. SPS is measured by Co-movement of majority of share prices in either direction in a stock market, while IP is proxied by Size of the Board of Directors, ratio of the independent directors to total size, and audit committee. Data has been downloaded from State Bank of Pakistan, Companies web sites, and Pakistan Stock Exchange for the period 2010-17. Using panel data analysis techniques, results show that IP and SPS are negatively related. These findings suggest that companies with strong IP help in reducing IA and thus increase the use of FFIs for investment purposes.

The history of Pakistan-India relations is full of conflicts ever since the partition of the sub-continent in 1947 and is much evident with respect to major and minor wars together with border skirmishes as a routine job. The rivalry between the two nation-states is generally studied in the context of realism. However, this research aimed to study the role of social institutions in the formation of identities resulting in hostile relations between the two nationstates. The research has undergone a thorough analysis of social institutions considered influential in any society with respect to identity formation. The study found that social institutions of education, media, religion, and politics have played a significant role in the construction of interstate hostile identities. It is found that utilization of ideas, and norms practiced in social institutions, has constructed the identities that resulted in hostile behavioral patterns in the masses of two South Asian nation-states.

Rowing is a popular sport across the globe which involves both skill and strength. The aim of the present investigation is to examine the somatotype and physical fitness of the Pakistani rowers. Data was collected from (n = 08) lightweight, and (n = 14) heavyweight Pakistani national rowers. Age, height, body mass, skinfold of triceps, subscapular, supraspinal, and calf, breadths of elbow and knee were measurement for somatotype as guided by (Norton & Olds, 1996). Push up, anaerobic, 2000 meter of maximal rowing ergometer, and set and reach for flexibility. Pearson product of correlation and t-test was applied for statistical analysis. The result showed there was a slight difference among light and heavyweight rowers in their somatotype measurements. On the other hand, the vertical jump was significantly correlated with rowing performance. It was concluded the leg power is associated with the performance of rower. It is proposed that rowers would improve their leg strength through training that enhances rowing performance.
Jakie ciało nie osiągnie królestwa Bożego?
Authors: Szram Mariusz
Published: January 2020

Celem artykułu jest porównanie egzegezy wersetu 1  Kor 15, 50 we wczesnej literaturze patrystycznej na przykładzie pism trzech autorów: Ireneusza z Lyonu – przedstawiciela tradycji azjatyckiej; Tertu­liana z Kartaginy – związanego z tradycją północnoafrykańską, zbliżoną w wielu punktach do azjatyckiej; oraz Orygenesa – wywodzącego się z tradycji aleksan­dryjskiej. Wszyscy wspomniani pisarze stosowali interpretację moral­ną zwrotu „ciało i krew” jako grzesznych uczynków, które należy porzucić, aby wejść do królestwa niebieskiego. Każdy z nich dopuszczał jednak także wyjaśnienie dosłowne tego wersetu, próbując pogodzić je z prawdą wiary o cielesnym zmartwychwstaniu. Ireneusz podkreślał, że ciało nie może zmartwychwstać i osiągnąć królestwa Bożego o własnych siłach, ale  jedynie z pomocą Ducha Świętego. Tertulian uważał, że ciało w ziemskiej pos­taci zmartwychwstanie, ale nie będzie mogło wejść do królestwa niebieskiego bez przyjęcia cech dostosowanych do nowej rzeczywistości. Najdalej posunął się Orygenes, podważając możliwość powrotu do życia ciał w ziemskim kształcie. Analiza wczesnochrześcijańskich komentarzy do Paw­łowego wersetu dowodzi, że egzegeza patrystyczna była ukierunkowana teolo­gicznie i zależała od ówczesnych sporów doktrynalnych. Daje się też zauważyć pewien pa­radoks: niekiedy w celu uzasadnienia konkretnego stanowiska filozoficzno-teolo­gicznego zwolennik literalizmu lub umiarkowanej alegorezy mógł przywiązywać większą wagę do przenośnego znaczenia tekstu natchnionego niż zdeklarowany alegorysta, który z kolei odwoływał się do daleko idącej interpretacji dosłownej.

Development of small business in the agricultural sector of the Krasnodar territory economy
Authors: Metelskaya E. A.
Published: January 2020

The national project for the development of small and medium-sized businesses has identified one of the objectives of improving the efficiency of small agricultural enterprises and the creation of new agricultural business structures. To do this, it is necessary to identify the economic problems of small agricultural enterprises and help them solve them, including the creation of favorable conditions that stimulate development. The purpose of the work was to assess the development of small agricultural entrepreneurship in the Krasnodar region and develop recommendations for its activation.Small forms of agricultural entrepreneurship in the Krasnodar region over the years of formation and development have shown their viability and high production potential. At the same time, their contribution to food production remains small. The article examines the formation and development of peasant (farm) farms and individual entrepreneurs in the agricultural sector of the economy of the Krasnodar region. The main modern problems hindering the development of small agricultural farms and their associations, agricultural cooperatives are identified. Attention is focused on the “weak” places of state and regional support, and measures are proposed to improve it. It is proposed to make changes in the distribution of budget funds to support agricultural enterprises, increasing the share of small businesses, to ensure equal access of all categories of farms to preferential lending. When distributing the per-hectare subsidy, take into account the conditions of agricultural production. It is necessary to regulate the mechanisms of commodity interventions, purchases of agricultural products for state needs, and preferential tariffs for transportation.
Assessment of production potential of the forestry complex of the regions of the European North of Russia
Authors: Sekushina I. A.
Published: January 2020

Forest resources and their processing are one of the main components of the economic base of the regions of the European North of Russia. At the same time, the mere fact of the presence of rich wood reserves does not at all indicate their effective use. In this regard, the assessment of the existing production potential of the timber industry complex of these constituent entities of the Russian Federation is of particular relevance and importance. The article discusses the approaches of modern researchers to the assessment of both the forest raw materials and the economic and production potential. The author’s technique is proposed, based on the use of reference values and calculations of the integral indicator of the production potential of the timber industry complex. As a result of the study, the author came to the conclusion that the production potential of the timber industry of the regions of the European North of Russia is not fully used – only 62%. In terms of regions, the leader is the Komi Republic, and the outsider is the Murmansk region. The largest reserves are available in the use of forest and market potential. The low level of use of the first is explained by low rates of development of the estimated cutting area, as well as insufficient volumes of reforestation. Low indicators of assessing market potential are due to the fact that low value-added products still dominate in the structure of production of the timber industry complex.
Status, Governance and Development of Gunao Lake: The Little-Known Lake of Dolores, Quezon, Philippines
Authors: Brillo Bing Baltazar C.
Published: January 2020

Anchored on the scarcity of small lake studies in the country, the article explores the little-known small lake of Dolores, Quezon, Philippines—Gunao Lake; its existence virtually unheard of in scholarly literature. Specifically, the study documents the crater lake by delineating the status of the lake using seven basic governance and development parameters. Using data from interviews, site observations, and few existing documents on the lake, the study contends that Gunao Lake is deficient in key management and conservation enablers: the absence of a management council and a Master Development Plan, and the failure to institutionalise tourism, and maintenance activities. Moreover, in placing Gunao Lake on the literature map, this study makes a small step in expanding the governance and development studies on small lakes in the country.

The colossal expansion and pace of global development have completely deteriorated the water quality of major river basins of the world such as Amazon, Ganges, Nile etc. Rivers have become receivers of wastewater discharged from industrial, agricultural and domestic sectors. Ganges river basin of India is considered as one of the heavily polluted river basin with 144 open drains entering into the river body without proper treatment. Therefore, monitoring and analysing the water quality of these drains and their sources is essential not only to suggest proper treatment procedures but also to ensure sustainability of the river ecosystem. The present study conducts an exhaustive quality analysis of 85 drains carrying both industrial and domestic sewage, either directly into river Ganges or indirectly through tributaries (Kali-East, Ram Ganga and Pandu) in ‘Haridwar to Kanpur’ stretch. Multivariate technique namely Principal Component Analysis (PCA) and Cluster Analysis (CA) have been employed using ‘Analyse it’ software to evaluate the intensity and sources of pollution. The methodology generates monoplots and two dimensional biplots to identify the relationships among pollutants and their sources. Finally, quality assessment of drains has been performed by calculating the water quality index of each drain, and sensitivity analysis is carried out to evaluate the effect of critical water quality parameters. Results direct the policy makers to identify the industries responsible for polluting the drains above critical levels and further measures are suggested to improve the deteriorating quality of drains.
