Nuclear Arms Race in South Asia: Pakistan’s Quest for Security
Authors: Ghazala Yasmin Jalil
Published: October 2022

The paper examines the nuclear arms race in South Asia. The security competition between India and Pakistan has been characterised by an action-reaction spiral. The paper traces the nuclear arms competition between the two South Asian rivals and argues that this relationship is a classic case of a security dilemma whereby one state’s actions cause insecurity to the other, and the other state’s efforts to augment its security make the first one insecure. The paper, thus, develops a theoretical explanation for the incessant arms race between India and Pakistan. India decided to take the nuclear weapons route, Pakistan followed; India developed sophisticated ballistic and cruise missiles, Pakistan followed; India adopted an aggressive doctrine, the Cold Start, Pakistan responded by developing tactical nuclear weapons; India is developing ballistic missile defence and Pakistan is sure to respond by adjusting its nuclear force posture. It is thus not the individual weapons systems but the security dilemma that is the cause of instability in highly volatile South Asia.
Protracted Afghan Refugee Situation: Policy Options for Pakistan
Authors: Amina Khan
Published: October 2022

Pakistan provided shelter to one of the world’s largest protracted refugee populations ─ more   than   five   million Afghan refugees have been living in Pakistan since 1979. Continued violence and political and economic turmoil in Afghanistan have discouraged refugees to return and resulted in the continued influx of Afghan refugees into Pakistan.  Since 2002,   3.8  million (Afghans) have  returned to  Afghanistan  but many  returnees  keep  trickling  back  to  Pakistan.[1] Over the years, Afghan refugees have become a serious concern for Pakistan and an irritant in Pakistan-Afghan relations due to declining donor assistance, domestic constraints, weak economy, refugee fatigue, and the growing threat of terrorism. Currently, there are three million registered and unregistered Afghan refugees,[2] however, the number of unregistered refugees is believed to be far greater since movement across the Pak-Afghan border has traditionally taken place under an unregulated and unmonitored system, thus making it close to  impossible to give an accurate number of unregistered refugees.[3] As a result, Pakistan has been the most vulnerable country to mass movement, militants, trafficking of drugs and arms from Afghanistan. Although the UNHCR provides  assistance for only one point five million registered refugees of the total three million, it is estimated that during the past 34 years, Pakistan  has  spent  hundreds  of billions  of  dollars  on  hosting  Afghan refugees.  Although, the UNHCR has doubled the assistance package from US$200 to US$400 per person for the registered Afghan
The Pakistan-China Bilateral Trade: The Future Trajectory
Authors: Ahmad Rashid Malik
Published: October 2022

Trade volume between Pakistan and China largely remained insignificant. It did not constitute a viable economic partnership between the two countries until the first decade of the present century. Bilateral trade could further strengthen Pakistan-China relationship.  China-Pakistan Free Trade Agreement (FTA) in effect from July 2007,  introduced a new dimension in the promotion of the bilateral trade. As Pakistan could not devise a dynamic trading policy toward China, this resulted in a huge trade deficit with China after 1984. Pakistani industry and exporters should adopt new measures to increase exports to China and to bring about a reasonable equality in mutual trading relations.
Women in Security Policy-making: A Case Study of Pakistan
Authors: Asma Shakir Khawaja
Published: October 2022

Traditionally and historically masculine attributes are attached to the concept of “Security.” Therefore, security itself and the issues related to it are dominated by male members of a society. Such a situation leads to the absence of gender perspective from security policy-making in most of the countries in the world. Women’s perspective is absent from macro to micro level. Keeping in view the fact that women comprise almost 50 per cent of the world’s population, it is pertinent to give them their space in security policy-making. Women are the prime victims of conflicts, wars and poor security. Moreover, according to various researches, they view conflict differently and in a more holistic manner than males. This research study, while highlighting the significance of women’s role in the society, explores the situation of female participation in security policy-making in Pakistan against the backdrop of social, political, religious and gender perspectives. Finally, it offers recommendations for the way forward.

Comparison of Rainfall and GDP: A Feasibility Study on Introducing Rainfall Derivatives in the Indian Weather Risk Market
Authors:   Research Scholar, Department of Studies in Commerce, University of Mysore, Mysore (Karnataka), India., N Dileep
Published: October 2022

Precipitation is an economic indicator for the Indian economy. Because more than half of the Indian population is engaged in agriculture, and they depend on rainfall for their farming activities, along with farming, other sectors like manufacturing, transportation, banking, construction, and others are directly or indirectly affected by rainfall. The proposed study attempts to establish a relationship between the changes in rainfall and the GDP growth rate. The study demonstrates the opportunity and feasibility of introducing rainfall index-based derivatives in the Indian weather risk market. The study considered the average annual rainfall data of all 36 meteorological subdivisions and the GDP annual growth rate for the period from 1961 to 2020. The study performed simple correlation and regression with the SPSS software. The results of the correlation matrix show that there is a positive relationship between the selected two variables. According to the regression analysis, rainfall has a significant positive effect on India's GDP growth rate. This result shows that there is a need for rainfall index based derivatives in the Indian weather risk market to absorb the rainfall risk. The purpose of this paper is to suggest a new kind of versatile tool to overcome the rainfall risk. Rainfall risk is covered by traditional insurance, index insurance, and reinsurance. However, all of them failed to effectively manage the rainfall risk. So, right now, rainfall derivatives are needed to make a full-fledged rainfall risk market.

Bhutanese pteridophytes have been compiled into a check-list of 568 taxa (543 species and 25 additional subspecies), based on reidentification of nearly all the world’s herbarium holdings from the Country, studied by the first author. We have also carried out many field-excursions, particularly in west and east Bhutan, collecting and identifying specimens. As a result we have produced a detailed specimen check-list giving full details (Fraser-Jenkins et al., in press 2022). The present list of confirmed taxa makes various additions and corrections to the Bhutan listings in the Annotated Checklist of Indian Pteridophytes (Fraser-Jenkins et al. 2016-2020), detailed in the full checklist. Two new species Diplazium phuntshoi Fraser-Jenk., and Pichisermollodes major Fraser-Jenk. and one new subspecies Dryopteris sparsa subsp. obtusipinnula Fraser-Jenk., are described. Only 4 species are endemic to Bhutan, but are all presumed to be only temporarily so and are expected to be present also in N.E. India, S.E. Tibet, S.W. China or N.

Surrogacy: A Bio-economical Exploitation of Proletariats in Amulya Malladi’s A House for Happy Mothers
Authors: C Suganya , M Vijayakumar
Published: October 2022

Infertility remains a threat to global health issues thus the remedy is global with the medical advancements in technology that enable infertile couples to have babies through surrogacy. Surrogacy is a legal practice of hiring a woman’s womb for bearing a child to infertile parents where the intended parents claim full parental rights and the surrogate mothers get the monetary compensation in commercial gestational surrogacy. Surrogates are proletariats from third-world countries struggling to meet day-to-day ends, whilst intended parents are from first-world countries. The existence of poverty and poor economy avail abundant surrogates in third world countries like India attracts infertile couples to flock to these countries thus surrogacy clinics and agents practice exploitative surrogacy (baby) business. This article unveils the exploitation of poor surrogate women and their bodies, with reference to Amulya Malladi’s A House for Happy Mothers (2016). Further, this study attempts to evaluate surrogacy with the theoretical framework of Marxist Theory of Alienation or Estrangement which condemns the poor surrogates as reproductive machines (lobourers) and commercial surrogacy as commodification of wombs.

This study aimed to uncover the different structures of linguistic politeness used in the utterances of the teachers in classroom interaction. More specifically, the analysis made use of House and Kasper’s (1981) Politeness Linguistic Expressions, Brown and Levinson’s (1987) Politeness Strategies, and Leech’s (1983) Politeness Maxims. Using observation and interview, several structures of linguistic politeness were unearthed. Firstly, the politeness linguistic expressions involved politeness markers, consultative devices, downtoners, committers, forewarning, hesitators, and agent avoider. Secondly, the politeness strategies involved positive politeness, negative politeness, off-record strategy, and bald-on record strategy. Lastly, the politeness maxims involved tact, approbation, modesty, and agreement maxim. Politeness is a non-value-laden linguistic phenomenon where it does not always mean what people in the here-and-now take it to mean, but there can always be a conventional ways of expressing so in a particular social interaction. The structures of linguistic politenesss do not always lead to conflict-avoidance, but they only contribute to the success of the effect of the expressions used. Hence, whatever may seem to have been considered as conventionally conventionalized or non-conventionalized politeness in a context, several factors must need to be considered for an expression to be a form of politeness strategy that performs supportive facework.

Sobolev spaces and Poincaré inequalities on the Vicsek fractal
Authors: Baudoin Fabrice , Chen Li
Published: October 2022

In this paper we prove that several natural approaches to Sobolev spaces coincide on the Vicsek fractal. More precisely, we show that the metric approach of Korevaar-Schoen, the approach by limit of discrete \(p\)-energies and the approach by limit of Sobolev spaces on cable systems all yield the same functional space with equivalent norms for \(p>1\). As a consequence we prove that the Sobolev spaces form a real interpolation scale. We also obtain \(L^p\)-Poincaré inequalities for all values of \(p \ge 1\).

Introduction- Stroke causes a variety of neurological signs and symptoms, which vary depending on the extent, area of involvement, and underlying cause. Coma, hemiplegia, paraplegia, monoplegia, cranial nerve palsy, speech disturbance, and sensory impairment are examples. Hemiplegia is the most common of these, affecting approximately 90% of patients.
Objectives- To investigate the prevalence of metabolic syndrome in stroke patients. To investigate the role of various components of metabolic syndrome in the development of stroke.
Methods- During the study period of 2 years, all patients with stroke aged more than 30 years and less than 60 years were admitted to Darbhanga Medical College and Hospital, Bihar, India. A minimum of 50 stroke patients must be over the age of 30 and under the age of 60. We used simple random sampling. For analysis, SPSS (22.0) was used. A detailed history of all subjects will be taken, particularly a family history of hypertension, diabetes mellitus, weight gain, alcohol use, and a history of other cerebrovascular disease risk factors.
Results- Out of 50 stroke patients, 28 had metabolic syndrome. The prevalence of metabolic syndrome in stroke patients was 56%. 70% were men and 30% were women. When compared to males, females had a higher incidence of metabolic syndrome. It is, however, not statistically significant. The most common mode of presentation in both stroke with and without metabolic syndrome was weakness, which was followed by deviation of the angle of the mouth, aphasia, and loss of consciousness.
Conclusion- Long-term follow-up population-based studies have shown that healthy people with the Metabolic syndrome have a significantly increased risk of major cardiovascular events, such as stroke and cardiovascular mortality.
