Imprisonment to Protect Women Against “Crimes of Honor”
Authors: Husseini Rana 
Published: March 2020

Some Jordanian women commit a crime, serve their sentence and then walk free. Others — some of them guilty only in the eyes of their family and the society — end up in prison and never leave. This is the story of one of these women, Kifah, who is destined to probably spend the rest of her life in prison, because government authorities cannot release her out of fear she might be killed by her family.

I can never forget a tragic incident that occurred when I was fourteen or fifteen years old. I was paying a visit to my aunt when Sara (my aunt's niece), looking pale and anxious, burst in to tell my aunt that her husband who had been released from prison had been threatening to kill her. She said that he kept asking about how she managed to look after the family in his absence and where she got the money from.

Changing Marriage Patterns in Lebanon
Authors: Khudr Adele 
Published: March 2020

Marriage is probably the oldest social institution in human history. It constitutes an important step in starting a family to which both men and women have to be initiated. The age of women at marriage is an important determinant of the type of society, indicating its status as "traditional" or "modern". Age at marriage is related to a number of phenomena including the level of education, the participation of women in the labor force, the economic situation prevailing in a society, and the social perception of marriage.

Reliable, up-to-date and comprehensive statistical data on any facet of post-war Lebanese society are very difficult to find. For many Lebanese, a statistical survey is not simply a fast and efficient way of obtaining objective data, it is also a highly charged political issue touching upon the very roots of the Lebanese civil war, most notably the questions of confessional powersharing and Lebanon's cultural identity.
Confusion and Panic: Health & Environment

Published: March 2020

Health concerns have gained proportional attention among the peoples and governments of the world. Or at least it looks that way! Terms like Cholesterol, Triglyceride, Diabetes, Tumor, Benign, Malignant are all too familiar to many. Health food and diets have mushroomed into large money making industries. I wonder if they are life-saving too! Furthermore, it is becoming more difficult to separate between health and environment. Hence, the deterioration of health conditions all over the world is closely associated to impairments in environmental conditions and natural resources.
Rapamycin-induced autophagy plays a pro-survival role by enhancing up-regulation of intracellular ferritin expression in acute lymphoblastic leukemia
Authors: Gong Y. , Wu J. , Yang R. , Zhang L. , Ma Z. 
Published: March 2020

Summary. Elevated mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) signaling has been reported to correlate with poor prognosis in acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) patients. Rapamycin, an mTOR kinase inhibitor, and also a potent autophagy inducer, could not only effectively reverse glucocorticoid resistance, but also promote autophagy in the ALL cells. Autophagy has been suggested to play a paradoxical role in cancer treatment. The aim of this study was to address the role of the rapamycin-induced autophagy in the leukemia treatment. Materials and Methods: Cell proliferation was detected by 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide assay in ALL cell lines of CEM-C1 and CEM-C7. Western Blot analysis was performed to test protein expressions. Results: Inhibition of mTOR by rapamycin could reverse glucocorticoid resistance in CEM-C1 cells, and also induce autophagy in these cells by up-regulation of LC3-II and Beclin-1 expressions. This autophagy played a pro-survival role since its inhibition by 6-amino-3-methylpurine or chroloquine could enhance rapamycin-induced cell death. Rapamycin increased the expression of intracellular ferritin, and this effect could be totally blocked by 6-amino-3-methylpurine and chroloquine, suggesting that the protective role of autophagy might be mediated through up-regulation of ferritin, the major iron-binding stress protein. Ciclopirox olamine, an iron chelator, could enhance rapamycin’s anti-leukemia effect by down-regulation of intracellular ferritin expression. Conclusions: All these findings would suggest that rapamycin-induced autophagy plays a pro-survival role in leukemia cells and this effect might be mediated by up-regulation of intracellular ferritin expression. We hypothesize that the combination of mTOR pathway inhibitors and autophagy inhibition is rational and would induce strong anti-leukemia effects in ALL.

Published: March 2020

Efficacy of aqueous suspension of Bacillus thuringiensis var. israelesis (Bti) was studiedagainst the laboratory reared 3rd and 4th instar larvae of Aedesaegypti. Mortality rates aswell as histological changes in the larval midgut due to toxic effect of Bti wereinvestigated. Several microscopic techniques were also used to identify the toxic effecton the mosquito larvae. The highest mortality rate (96.66%) was found in case of 3rdinstar larvae at 1.0μl/ml dose where LC50 value was 0.0097. Larval mortalities increasedsignificantly to A. aegypti as doses increased (p< 0.05). Histological study revealed thatcellular layers of the midgut epithelium were intact in control sample, but in case of theBti treated larvae none of these were found in the midgut, only bacterial spores wereseen. Results of the microscopic studies indicated that, among the six different coloniesfound in bacterial cultures, Bti spore, sporangium and vegetative cells were confirmedfrom one colony by phase transition and fluorescent microscopy. The Cry (crystals)endotoxins and Bti spore were confirmed by the SEM.

Authors: Hossen Amir , Ahsan M Farid , Kamruzzaman Mohammad 
Published: March 2020

In this research hatchability problems of freshwater crocodile in Dulahazra Safari Park have been discussed. The findings focused on meteorological factors, lack of suitable habitat in semi-captive enclosures and some physiological factors which are mainly responsible for non-hatchability of freshwater crocodile in the park environment. The research emphasized on finding rationale that interrupts breeding failure of this crocodile in this park. The hatchability problem was identified with some influential factors which are main barriers to escalate and proliferate the reintroduce program in Bangladesh. The findings showed that the influential factors including high stock density in a small space, low water deepness and narrow sandy bank of the enclosure with lack of nesting materials, high temperature and heavy rainfall are mainly responsible for the failure of freshwater crocodile breeding potentiality.

Authors: Aktar Marufa , Ali AHM Zulfiquar , Rahman MK 
Published: March 2020

A pot experiment was conducted in the net house of the Department of Soil, Water and Environment, University of Dhaka to find out the interactive effects of nitrogen (0, 30, 60 and 120 kg/ha) and boron (0, 0.5, 1 and 2 kg/ha) fertilizers on the growth and nutrient contents of okra (Abelmoschus esculentus L.). The increase in height of okra was significant (p<0.05) due to combined application of nitrogen and boron fertilizers. Maximum height, shoot and root dry matter yield and uptake of nutrients in root and shoot of okra were observed in treatment 30 kg N/ha with 1 kg B/ha (N30Bi). But, higher doses of fertilizer combinations (60 and 120 kg of N/ ha with B) responded differently. Higher doses of fertilizer combinations significantly (p<0.05) reduced shoot and root growth as well as the concentration and uptake of nitrogen, phosphorus potassium in okra. It could be concluded that the treatment combination of 30 kg N/ha with 1 kg B/ha can be used for better growth of okra.

Published: March 2020

The paper presents the status of angiospermic flora of Char Kukri Mukri Wildlife Sanctuary, a small Island in the Bay of Bengal close to the Char Fassion Upazila of Bhola district. A total of 277 plant species belonging to 76 families was identified from the Island. For each plant species data on scientific name, local name, family, life form and habitat were provided. Trees of this Island were represented by 91, shrubs by 33, herbs by 118 and climbers by 35 species. The plant species recorded from the island were distributed in different habitats. Among the habitats, maximum species were recorded in homesteads (104) followed by roadsides (79), mangrove areas (47) and cultivated land (47).The study has reported the presence of medicinal plants, wildlife supporting plants, exotics and invasive plants, rare and threatened plants in the Island. The presence of fruit bearing species in the island is very rare because of high salinity. The introduction of exotics and invasive species into the Island has been recognized as the great challenges to the local angiospermic flora in future. This article also highlights the conservation values, management concerns and some measures for conservation of angiosperm diversity in the Island.

L’image d’Ève et le motif du paradis dans la poésie et les œuvres inachevées de Cvetaeva
Authors: Voïtekhovitch Roman 
Published: March 2020

Образ Евы — важный код поэтического мышления Цветаевой. В 1917 году он дает формулу « круглого » рая и стихотворение о « грустной Еве », возлюбленной змея. В наброске пьесы Ева (1920) искушение трактуется как путь эволюции. В лирике Ева соперничает с Адамом за любовь к « крылатому солнцу » (Богу/змею). Счастливая Ева появляется в берлинской лирике, но господствует стремление Цветаевой победить Еву в себе. « Тело » Евы реабилитируется в пражских стихах, посвященных К. Родзевичу. Но вскоре Ева отвергается « ревнивой » Лилит/Психеей в письмах к Б. Л. Пастернаку. В парижский период рай представляется Цветаевой пустым, открытым для творчества. Но в целом концепция Цветаевой плюралистична : щедрый заслуживает рая, даже если он делится запретным плодом.

<b>"No Forest, No Water. No Forest, No Animals": An Ecocritical Reading of Ekpe Inyang’s <i>The Hill Barbers</i></b> // "Sin bosque, no hay agua. Sin bosque, no hay animales": Una lectura ecocrítica de <i>The Hill Barbers</i> de Ekpe Inyang
Authors: Nsah Kenneth Toah 
Published: March 2020

This article examines Ekpe Inyang’s play entitled The Hill Barbers (2010) using postcolonial ecocriticism. Combining postcolonial theory and ecocriticism - in order to foreground the author’s postcolonial Cameroonian/African society, the article investigates some of the numerous ecology-related issues raised in the play, among which deforestation, exploitation, capitalism, agency for nature, and the apocalyptic trope. It emerges, from both the play and article, that humans are destroying nature and are consequently suffering from this very destruction. Among the many effects of environmental destruction felt by the Mbungoe human community of the play are acute shortages of drinking water and dwindling animal species on their hills and mountains. One of the major findings of this article is the author’s ability to reconcile hitherto opposing ideologies and practices, such as Judeo-Christianity and African religions and Western science and African traditions, in seeking ways of redressing the increasing ecological problems faced within Cameroonian/African communities and elsewhere around the globe, advocating sustainable behaviour and respect for nature. The paper joins ongoing research attempts to apply ecocriticism in reading literature from postcolonial African societies. Resumen Este artículo examina la obra teatral de Ekpe Inyang titulada The Hill Barbers (2010) a través de la perspectiva de la ecocrítica postcolonial. Combinando teoría postcolonial y ecocrítica, el artículo analiza algunas de las numerosas cuestiones relacionadas con la ecología que se plantean en la obra, cuestiones como la deforestación, la explotación, el capitalismo, la preservación de la naturaleza y el tropo apocalíptico. De la obra y del artículo se desprende que los seres humanos están destruyendo la naturaleza y, por consiguiente, sufren los efectos de esta misma destrucción. Entre las muchas consecuencias de la destrucción ambiental sufridas por la comunidad Mbungoe en la pieza teatral están la escasez aguda de agua potable y la disminución de las especies animales en sus colinas y montañas. Uno de los principales hallazgos de este artículo es la capacidad del autor para conciliar ideologías y prácticas hasta entonces opuestas, como el judeocristianismo, las religiones africanas, la ciencia occidental y las tradiciones africanas, apara dar solución a los crecientes problemas ecológicos a los que se enfrentan tanto las comunidades camerunesas/africanas como otras en diversas partes del mundo. De esta manera, se aboga por un comportamiento sostenible y por el respeto hacia la naturaleza. El artículo supone una contribución a los intentos actuales de hacer una lectura de la literatura producida en las sociedades postcoloniales africanas a través del prisma de la ecocrítica.
From the Leader’s Values to Organizational Values: Toward a Dynamic and Experimental View on Value Work in SMEs
Authors: Adla Ludivine , Eyquem-Renault Marie , Gallego-Roquelaure Virginie 
Published: March 2020

In this article, we contribute to empirically account for Selznick’s argument about the moral competence of organizations by showing the ways an organization collectively thinks, acts, feels and expresses needs (Callon, 2006) related to its desirable ends. These are related to the socio-technical arrangements processing the values work. Made up of devices, actors, and social groups, the socio-technical arrangements are brought into existence by means of material embodiments of values in artifacts. Considering the case of a leader who has founded a firm in the social and solidarity sector in order to implement his personal values, we contribute to better understanding value-based leadership. We trace how this leader’s values are progressively and collectively materialized into artifacts that create new relationships in which the organization’s desirable ends are to be met. Adopting a relational and processual view on values work, we trace the evolution of this socio-technical arrangement to maintain or restore the implementation of organizational values in an evolving context, contributing to a dynamic view on organizational values.
