“Un ospite vile”: l’epidemia di colera in Russia nell’epistolario di A. P. Čechov
Authors: Falyushina Luizetta
Published: November 2022

Nella vasta produzione letteraria di A. P. Čechov sono presenti testimonianze scritte durante il periodo della quinta ondata della pandemia di colera. Originatasi in India e in Asia Centrale nel 1883, arrivò in Russia negli anni 1892-1893, dove causò la morte di circa 400 000 persone. Čechov, in quanto medico di professione, nel 1892 si dedicò all’attività di dottore, fornendo cure ai contadini dei numerosi villaggi situati intorno alla sua tenuta di Melichovo, rifiutando qualsiasi compenso. Questa esperienza si riflette sia nei documenti relativi alla sua attività professionale, sia nella sua eredità epistolare, che viene considerata dagli studiosi parte integrante della sua prosa letteraria in quanto ne presenta le stesse caratteristiche stilistiche e narrative. Questo articolo analizza la rappresentazione di quei tragici eventi da una doppia prospettiva: da un lato dal punto di vista di Čechov-medico e dall’altro dal punto di vista di Čechov-scrittore. Si pone attenzione ai seguenti aspetti: 1) la descrizione del colera come un essere animato, tratto tipico del meccanismo di mitologizzazione della malattia nell’immaginario collettivo; 2) la rappresentazione degli umori apocalittici presenti nel popolo, che conferiscono all'epidemia lo status di punizione celeste; 3) la considerazione dei focolai dell’epidemia come ʻspazi mortiʼ.
COMBINING ABILITY AND HETEROSIS STUDIES IN UPLAND COTTON (GOSSYPIUM HIRSUTUM L.)
Authors: KHALID MN , AMJAD I
Published: November 2022

Cotton is Pakistan's most important fiber crop and the country's economic lifeline. It is an important agricultural commodity in Pakistan, providing a source of income for farmers as well as raw materials for the textile industry. Farmers and the textile industry are also looking for ways to improve fiber quality and increase seed cotton production. Given the low yield pattern and growing demand of the textile industry, the breeding programs need to be planned as a breeder to increase cotton production in the region. Knowledge about inheritance mechanisms, heterosis, and the ability of different characters to combine is crucial for this reason. The most challenging task for plant breeders in any hybridization program is finding the best combination of two (or more) parental genotypes to optimize variation within similar breeding populations, and therefore the possibility of detecting superior transgressive segregants in the segregating populations. After its introduction in 1942, the combining capacity has been commonly used in plant breeding to evaluate the performances of lines in hybrid combinations. Heterosis (also known as hybrid vigor) is a natural occurrence in which hybrid offspring of genetically diverse individuals have enhanced physical and functional characteristics compared to their ancestors. For nearly a century, heterosis has been increasingly used in crop development with the aim of producing more vigorous, higher yielding, and better performing cultivars. A short analysis of previous studies on cotton combining ability and heterotic effect estimation has been provided in this paper. This will strengthen our existing understanding of plant breeding's combining ability and heterosis, as well as recent research advances in this field.

Authors: Kaushal R. , Verma K. , Singh K.
Published: November 2022

Aqueous leachates of Morus alba and Toona ciliata leaves were evaluated for allelopathic effects on germination and growth of five field crops, viz. Chickpea (Cicer arietinum), Wheat (Triticum aestivum), Maize (Zea mays), Bean (Phaseolus vulgaris) and Soybean (Glycine max). The test crops were treated with 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5% leachates of tree leaves. Germination of all the test crops were reduced as compared to control at all the leachates concentration of Morus and Toona. Radicle and plumule length of Chickpea exhibited promotory behaviour when supplied with aqueous extract of Morus at concentrations ranging from 2-4%. Soybean also showed increased growth at 1% concentration of Morus leachates. Rest of the test crops, however exhibited reduction in its radicle and plumule length when supplied with Morus leachates at all the concentrations. Toona leachates on the other hand suppressed the radicle and plumule length of all the test crops at all the concentrations.
Sekularisoituva seksuaalisuus: Biokriminologinen näkökulma väkisinmakaamisrikokseen toisen maailmansodan jälkeisessä Suomessa
Authors: Parhi Katariina
Published: November 2022

Artikkeli käsittelee väkisinmakaamisrikoksen sosiaalilääketieteellistä tulkintakehystä Suomessa toisen maailmansodan jälkeen. Aineistona hyödynnetään lääkäri Sven Erkkilän tutkimusta ”Väkisinmakaamisrikoksesta ja sen tekijöistä”, jota tarkastellaan sosiaalilääketieteenalan historiallisen kontekstualisoinnin avulla. Keskeisimmät tutkimuskysymykset ovat: millä tavoin väkisinmakaamisrikos ymmärrettiin toisen maailmansodan jälkeisinä vuosina ja millä tavoin sitä selitettiin. Erkkilä analysoi väkisinmakaamisrikoksiin liittämiään ympäristötekijöitä, kuten asenteita ja tapahtumapaikkoja, sekä yksilötason tekijöitä, joista hän mainitsee ”vajaamielisyyden” ja ”sairasmielisyyden”. Rikosten ehkäisyyn hän suosittelee sukupuolikasvatusta niin kotiin kuin kouluihin ja edustaa täten ajalle tyypillistä sosiaalisuunnittelun näkökulmaa. Erkkilän perehtyminen väkisinmakaamisrikoksiin merkitsee laajempaa murroskohtaa suhtautumisessa naisiin kohdistuvaan väkivaltaan.
Kajian teologis PAROUSIA dan implikasinya bagi Jemaat EBENHAEZER OMU
Authors: Ellentapingku Elionora fransiska
Published: November 2022

Jemaat Ebenhaezer Omu Klasis Sulawesi Tengah masih timbul kesalahpahaman tentang pengertian Parousia. Banyak para jemaat yang menjabarkan dan menganggap jika Yesus datang untuk tahap kedua dijadikan sarana manusia untuk menebus dosa kembali. Metode penelitian yang dimanfaatkan yakni pendekatan kualitatif. Pada penelitian ini data dikumpulkan memanfaatkan teknik studi kepustakaan. Hasil dari penelitian menunjukkan bahwa Parousia adalah sebuah situasi kristologi, tetapi sayangnya banyak dari jemaat yang masih bingung tentang hal ini, situasi ini semakin parah dengan hidup semi post modern yang sudah campur aduk dengan budaya sekularisme hingga membuat banyak jemaat ragu-ragu dan memiliki sikap skeptis. Jika saat ini kehidupan kita tidak ada hubungannya dengan Tuhan Yesus Kristus maka mustahil di masa depan kita mempunyai hubungan juga dengan Yesus Kristus (2 Tes. 1:8-9). Dalam Filipi 3:20-21 juga tersirat mengenai harapan Paulus, jika kewarganegaraan bagi orang yang beriman yaitu kerajaan surga. Beriringan dengan hal tersebut maka orang beriman yang masih hidup akan bersama-sama diangkat dan dibangkitkan untuk menyambut Tuhan di angkasa “sesudah kejadian itu manusia yang beriman yang masih hidup dan tinggal maka bersama-sama akan diangkat dan menyambut Tuhan di angkasa dan mereka akan seumur hidup dan abadi bersama dengan Tuhan Yesus Kristus (1 Tes. 4:17).

The paper presents an assessment of the implications of the use of traditional practices and belief systems on natural resource conservation using a case study of selected communities in Ghana (Fomena, Tepa, Tanoso, and Ejisu). The study adopted both qualitative and quantitative research approaches to achieve the formulated objectives. A total of 208 (52 each) respondents were selected mainly by convenient and snowballing sampling techniques. Data were collected using both unstructured interview guides and questionnaires. The study revealed that taboos, totems, and customary practices are the major instruments used in the conservation and management of rivers in the study areas. However, it was realized that the traditional measures are challenged by the influence of Western religion, education, and modernity, increasing immigration resulting in a high number of foreigners, and sometimes ignorance. The study recommends that the traditional authorities, families, and clergymen help people appreciate the differences in African traditions and African religion by undertaking that massive sensitization. Also, the government or agencies (such as the Environmental Protection Agency and the local assembly unit) responsible for taking care of the environment and its resources should incorporate the traditional measures in their policies and action plans toward natural or environmental resource conservation and management, like water bodies.
The genetic and somatic expressions of trauma: A review of pathology and treatment
Authors: Gorra Nicole
Published: November 2022

Traumatic experiences change one’s orientation to self, others, and the environment. In the wake of trauma, survivors are besieged by powerful emotions, sensations, and memories as they adapt to a new and unwanted reality. Chronic recall of disorganized traumatic memory engenders a myriad of unpleasant psychological and somatic responses. Confrontation with an overwhelming experience from which escape is not possible will challenge and change the way the brain communicates- both with itself and other parts of the body. While quickly adapting to environment and experience, what the brain is designed to do, in the presence of trauma, the brain is concurrently trying to find a way to internally escape the external environment. The symptoms that present secondary to PTSD are compulsory and biological, making traditional psychotherapy practices limiting as they do not resolve neurological conflicts in brain synapses or brain communication. This work explores the implications of trauma, innovative treatment modalities, and the genetic expression of PTSD.

Authors: AlSarrag Nael
Published: November 2022

Several everyday activities were majorly affected by the COVID-19 pandemic, adapting these activities to become safe for people to perform and become "covid-friendly" required many studies. Dining out in restaurants was one of the major activities that were affected by this pandemic. Permanently or partially closed, restaurants adapted quickly to sidewalk pickups, and excessive delivery demand, and accordingly, their menus and even the staffing were shortened. Several months later, the foodservice industry was one of the first to move a step forward against coronavirus and positively adapt by coming up with creative and innovative ways to be able to re-open their doors and serve customers once again. Therefore, this research aims to study some new rules controlling restaurant settings. Additionally, it studies the different design strategies that are followed to come up with an optimum design proposal to overcome this pandemic, while suggesting and experimenting with some innovative ideas and technological value to create a sustainable futuristic design where safety measures and unique experiences are present. This would be achieved through a contextually based strategy by overviewing the problem and its related intellectual theories and studying similar emerging case studies. This strategy will help lead to the introduction of a new adaptable sustainable restaurant setting where employees' and customers’ safety is the main derivative.
SYSTEMATIC SCOPING LITERATURE REVIEW TO STUDY THE IMPACT OF LEABNESE FINANCIAL CRISIS 2019-2020 ON THE BANKING SECTOR
Authors: Fayad Nour
Published: November 2022

Over the last thirty years, blunders have been committed in the Lebanese financial sector. Besides, mistakes made with good faith, and the financial and economic crisis of years 2019 and 2020, on the other hand, has resulted in much greater deficiencies of trust and rises in the emotional distance between Lebanese people and their banks than the previous crisis. One collateral effect of the crisis and the, at times, scorching antagonisms that have afflicted banks and their customers has been an unfathomable reluctance on the part of banks to interact with their consumers. Therefore, this research spots the light on “Financial crisis of 2019-2020” alongside with the impact of this crisis with prominence on the Lebanese banking sector. Thus, in this research, researcher present systematic scoping literature review that discuss in depth fundamental studies published about financial crisis and Lebanese banking sector performance, in addition to gathering data from secondary data sources to present credible and accredited data that was introduced by Lebanese banks, BDL and MOF until year 2020. Research limitations and future recommendations are provided at the end of this paper.

The article presents the research results on the influence of the PVD coating on the cutting tool on the surface roughness and energy consumption in the cast iron turning process. It was shown that using coated tools leads to obtaining a surface qualitatively corresponding to the ground surface and to reducing the power consumption of the machine tool. In addition, the process itself, carried out without a cooling and lubricating liquid, is more eco-friendly, as it excludes its use, disposal and negative environmental impact.
Gender, Power, and Identity in the Interpreting Classroom
Authors: Tsai Nancy
Published: November 2022

Interpreting pedagogy has traditionally focused on the training of skills to fulfill market needs. Cultural Studies elements—in particular discourse on gender, identity, and power relations—have rarely been foregrounded in the teaching of interpreting, and even less so in conference interpreting programs. It is an industry-oriented pedagogical practice which has, on the more extreme end, fed into the glamorization of a profession which arguably should be more introspective on its complicity in upholding relations of power. With the aim of providing students with a more rounded education in interpreting, this article documents and discusses a preliminary attempt to introduce cultural studies discourse in a consecutive interpreting course conventionally positioned as a technical one, and one where students are commonly evaluated according to the criteria of accuracy, language, and delivery. By analyzing a real-world interpreting event—the US-China Anchorage talks—using the concepts of gender, power, and identity, the instructor attempts to counter institutional marketing claims of the profession being necessarily conducive to “intercultural communication.” Instead the analysis demonstrates that the claim masks what is in effect displays of power driven by domestic interests rather than target audience needs. It is an analytical account based on a cultural studies theoretical framework not meant to prescribe fixed methods or materials for the classroom. Instead it is offered as an example where alternative methods or materials can be introduced to initiate a line of inquiry for culturally-minded instructors who find the instrumentalist framework of accuracy, language, and delivery restrictive in explaining the dynamics between language and power. The role of the interpreter in the process of communication is thus problematized; the supposed agency the interpreter enjoys is also questioned. In fact, the analysis suggests that the higher the level of interpreting (i.e. high-level interpreting) the more the interpreter functions in service of power rather than an idealized notion of the common good, a reality that students deserve to understand.
Profiling of (Ir)reversible Binomials in Translated Texts
Authors: Elewa Abdelhamid , Elaskary Mohamed
Published: November 2022

A binomial, or binomial pair, is a pair of words conventionally linked by a lexical link such as a conjunction or a preposition, for example, “day and night”, “life and death”, “dos and don’ts”, etc. Binomials are very common in all languages. Binomials can be reversible or irreversible; i.e. they share/do not share the same word order in the Source Language or Target Language. Binomials play a very important role in learners’ or speakers’ competence; the more binomials you are familiar with the more competent one would be. In this paper, we will examine binomials in the Arabic language; we will use corpus-based approaches to explore how binomials are reversible in Arabic and English. In an attempt to find a practical-digital way for language learners and translators to rely on when they come across conjoined words, mainly binomials, different approaches to binomial extraction have been explored. Corpus linguistic techniques and Mutual Information1 statistics are used to test the relations between the different parts of binomials; the most frequent binomials and conjoined phrases are analyzed in an Arabic text coupled with their translations into English. By calculating the significant binomials, mutual information helps us to identify what to examine in the concordance lines. Based on the analysis of the concordances of the data, some rules have been proposed, something which would enable language learners and translators to make generalizations and reach firmer conclusions regarding the order of parts within binomials and whether they are reversible or irreversible when translated from one language into another.

Early modern time in the Ukrainian and Polish histories of liturgical translation
Authors:   Ivan Franko National University of Lviv, Faculty of Foreign Languages, Shmiher Taras
Published: November 2022

The paper is dedicated to the issues of how Ukrainian and Polish liturgical translation progressed in the early modern time, what functions it performed in the social life of the two nations and which mutual influences might have occurred in the historical perspective. The choice of comparing and contrasting these two nations is defined by the very fact that during this period, they co-existed in the same state: the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth. The main factors which determined the advancement of this translation field were the reactions to historical challenges (the expansion of neighbouring countries; the necessity to preserve one’s own identity; the response to the Protestant movement) as well as the development of book-printing (the rise of new book types containing and popularising various texts for liturgical use). Despite the restrained use of the vernacular (Polish was not allowed according to the rulings of the Council of Trent and Ukrainian was overshadowed by Church Slavonic), liturgical translation took its place in the cultural life of the Commonwealth, though the Renaissance is the period of great expectations, experiments and attempts, while the Enlightenment look like the time of spiritual inertia with modest results. The material of the study covers all print types covering liturgical texts, even when they were not aimed at public use (e.g. primers and manuals).
Sichtbarmachung von Kriminalität. Gestaltungsund Funktionsweisen von Gefangenenkleidung im 19. und beginnenden 20. Jahrhundert
Authors: Oelbauer Daniel
Published: November 2022

Clothes make the man. This is especially true for those who are outside the norm, such as prisoners. In her study of prison violence, Bereswill emphasizes that the misappropriation of clothing through threats is part of everyday prison life. On the one hand, this strengthens the position in the prisoner hierarchy. On the other hand, the need for new clothes is also satisfied. A discussion of prisoner clothing, if one wants to disregard the concentration camp prisoner clothing, has so far only been rudimentary. The reason for this seems to be that a more extensive study of clothing does not represent a worthwhile research object due to “its everyday banality”. There are empirical, contemporary-oriented works on clothing in prison from a cultural and legal perspective. They dealt with the functions and meanings of clothing and fashion in women's prisons. Ash's study of the development of prison clothing from a historical perspective with contextual references to legal, social and, in particular, fashion history refers to the Anglo-American world. In her analysis of striped concentration camp clothing, Schmidt provides some information on the history and development of prisoner clothing in German prisons in the 19th and 20th centuries. Due to their respective focus of interest, the studies by Ash and Schmidt lack a more detailed reference to the penal system, which Einsiedler emphasizes very clearly. The following investigation approaches prisoner clothing in the context of their design and functionality, which has so far received little attention. The central thesis is that prisoner clothing serves the purpose of prison-specific rationalization and enforcement of prison discipline in the sense of the concepts of Foucault and Goffman. The focus is on the following questions: What was the prisoner’s clothing made of and what did it look like? Which “general” functions did it fulfill and which further functions did it fulfill in the context of the prison? What were the implications of this for the prisoners? Were these subject to change?
Aspir (Carthamus tinctorius L.) Saf Hatlarında Tohum Karışım Oranlarının Verim ve Yağ Kalite Özellikleri Üzerine Etkisi
Authors: BOZDAĞ Ümmü , BAYDAR Hasan
Published: November 2022

Aspir (Carthamus tinctorius L.), tohumlarında bulunan yüksek kalitede yağı ile önemli bir yemeklik yağ ve biyoenerji kaynağıdır. Bu araştırma, ileri generasyon aspir hatlarında tohum karışımları yapılarak hem doğal heterosis etkisinden hem de çok hatlı çeşitlerin avantajlarından faydalanmak için yürütülmüştür. Fenolojik özellikleri benzer, ancak tohum ve yağ verimlilikleri farklı üç hat (BAY-ER 2, BAY-ER 5 ve BAY-ER 15) saf (yalın), ikili (1/2 + 1/2) ve üçlü (1/3 + 1/3 + 1/3) tohum karışım oranlarında yetiştirilerek açıkta tozlaşmaya bırakılmış, elde edilen kısmi melez tohumlar bir sonraki yıl tesadüf blokları deneme deseninde üç tekrarlı olarak ekilerek tarımsal ve kalite özellikleri karşılaştırılmıştır. Hatlar ve karışımlar arasında bitki boyu, dal sayısı, tabla sayısı, 1000 tane ağırlığı, kabuk oranı, yağ oranı, tohum ve yağ verimi gibi özellikler bakımından istatistiksel olarak önemli farklılıklar bulunmuştur. İkili ve üçlü tohum karışımları saf hatlara göre daha yüksek verim performansı göstermiş, BAY-ER 2 + BAY-ER 15 ikili karışımından % 50.7 ve BAY-ER 5+ BAY-ER 15 ikili karışımından % 44.0 olarak yüksek karışım etkinliği elde edilmiştir. Bütün karışımlar kendisini oluşturan saf hatlardan daha yüksek tohum verimi ve yağ oranı vermiştir. Saf hatlar linoleik asit bakımından, karışımlar ise oleik asit bakımından biraz daha yüksek oranlar vermiştir. Sonuç olarak, aspirde belirli sayıda saf hattın farklı oranlarda tohum karışımları ile tarımsal performansın artırılabileceği anlaşılmıştır.

Bu çalışma, limon meyvesinde hasat sonrası kayıplara neden olan farklı fungal etmenlere karşı biyolojik mücadele etmeni olabilecek bakterileri belirlemek amacıyla in vitro koşullarda yürütülmüştür. Bu amaçla, hastalıklı limon meyvelerinden izolasyonlar yapılmış, izolasyonlar sonucu üç farklı cinse ait fungus türü izole edilmiş, patojenite testleri yapılmış ve moleküler tanı sonuçlarına göre bu izolatların Alternaria alternata (ET 119), Colletotrichum gleosporoides (ET 120) ve Penicillium chrysogenum (ET 121) olduğu tespit edilmiştir. Patojen fungus izolatlarına karşı sekiz farklı cinse ait otuz altı adet antagonist bakteri izolatının yüzde engelleme oranları ikili kültür testi ile tesadüf parselleri deneme desenine göre 3 tekerrürlü olarak belirlenmiştir. Elde edilen sonuçlara göre üç patojen izolata karşı en yüksek etki TV 53D (%67.46: Brevibacillus choshinensis) izolatında saptanırken, bu izolatı sırasıyla TV 16F (%66.27: Bacillus subtilis) ve FDG 37 (%62.30: Pseudomonas fluorescens) izolatları takip etmiştir. En etkili sonuç alınan antagonist bakteri izolatları ile gelecekte kontrollü şartlarda daha detaylı çalışmaların yürütülmesi gerekmektedir.
Strata Ownership as a sui generis Title: Lessons from the Recent Research of Legislative History in Japan
Authors:   Korean Association of Aggregate Building Law, Lee Joon-Hyong
Published: November 2022

The Korean Collective Building Act, enacted in 1984, was drafted by private law professors with the helps of legally trained public officials; in Japan, there has been a widespread idea that the Japanese counterpart was necessary to implement urban planning law. However, recently released researches successfully came to refute this idea based on travaux préparatoires, which shows that the situations in two countries were alike: private law professors and judicial officials played a leading role from beginning to end; they primarily focused on the protection of buildings, not concerned with urban planning (II). In conclusion, some theses are summed up as follows: ① Collective Building Act belongs to one of enactments mentioned in the latter part of Art. 23 para. 1 of the Korean Constitution, which established a new institution ‘strata title’, a novelty of property. ② The entitlement needs a further justification, however, from the constitutional considerations, because of several innovations quite strange to traditional legal concepts. ③ In principle, other real estate statutes as lex specialis should be strictly and narrowly interpreted, in the same way as private law(lex generalis), to respect private autonomy (Ⅲ).

Published: November 2022

Konumlandırma, ilk kez Ries ve Trout (1981) tarafından “zihinlerde oluşan beklentileri karşılamak maksadıyla markaya kıymetli bir yer bulma faaliyeti” olarak tanımlanmıştır. Tüketicilerin zihninde istenen konumun elde edilebilmesi öncelikle markanın doğru konumu belirlemesine dayanmaktadır. Nitekim güçlü markalar, hedef pazar açısından değerli, net ve eşsiz marka konumlarına sahiptir. Marka konumlandırma amacıyla elverişli bir araç olarak kullanılan algılama haritaları ise tüketici algılarının görselleştirilmesini sağlamaktadır. Bu çalışmada; marka konumlandırma ve algılama haritalarına dair teorik bir incelemenin yapılması amaçlanmaktadır.

The incidence of fungi associated with deterioration of three varieties of onion bulbs was investigated in Usmanu Danfodiyo University, Sokoto. The bulbs were purposively collected in sterile polyethene bags through random sampling from kasuwan daji in Sokoto and brought to Mycology Laboratory, Department of Biological Sciences for analysis. Samples were prepared using standard procedures for Isolation and Inoculation of fungal organisms. Isolates were identified based on Morphological and cultural identification using mycological atlas. Pathogenicity test was out carried out using standard procedures. The result obtained revealed the presence of Aspergillus niger, Aspergillus fumigatus, Aspergillus flavus and Rhyzopus oryzae. R. oryzae had the highest percentage of occurrence (47.4%) in Red onion, A.niger and A. fumigatus had the highest occurrence (39.1%) in white onion, and in the purple onion A. niger and A. flavus had the highest percentage of occurrence with (42.8%). The pathogenicity test indicated that all the isolates were found to facilitate spoilage of the bulbs. R. oryzae was found to be more pronounced on white onion, A. niger was prominent in purple onion, A. flavus on red onion. Therefore, fungal spoilage of onion could be determined base on the type of fungal organisms and the type of onion variety. The study could help formers to detect the type of organisms that are responsible for spoilage on the different onion varieties thus, determine the appropriate type of pesticides to apply either in the field or on storage.

Published: November 2022

At best, mankind goes on and on in belief of Living Supremacy but gets sized down to a drop of water in the Ocean. Mere mention of Ocean is a pointer enough to universal phenomenon within the Divine’s startups such as Stars, Oceans & Mountains besides Earth's landscape sailing on spreadsheet of Seafloor, rocky Continents floating on micro-soft-fluid-Mantle, diamond-hard-Planets of macro-size revolving, rotating and swimming around pulling out Earth‟s core-geology causing Quakes, Tsunami, Plate tectonics, Continental drift, Lava fountains and Solar-Lunar-eclipses. Living Supremacy has been practically a working tool in our hands attracting our mindset to concentrate on the Science of Divine Firsts & Divine’s Startups! Mankind struggles to discipline academically studied scientific intelligence across the Universal Laws of Super Vedic Perfection of Divine Wisdom. It has been already famous that Researchers work in cooperation with a respecter of Universal Laws. This paper takes its inspiration from the recent Delhi (North India) University Researchers‟ attestation to the existence of Vedic population whose texts date back to 8,000 BC. And, my target-poised research aims at observed roles of Divine‟s Supervision of apolitical Dynasties during Vedic-Period-Earth‟s sealed and scaled Vedic Corridors running across Ocean with Vedic populaces promoting Vedic missiology led by series of apolitical Dynasties all along .
