Authors: Niraula Nisha , Timilsina Anil 
Published: March 2020

The productivity of crops is highly affected by the seedling quality, which is governed by seeding density in the nursery. So, an experiment was conducted to explore the effect of seedling spacing in the growth attributes of Broad Leaf Mustard cv. “Marpha Chauda Paate” at IAAS, Lamjung Campus, during Oct 2018. Four spacing treatments viz 0.5 cm × 1 cm, 1 cm × 1 cm, 1.5 cm ×1.5 cm and 2 cm × 2 cm were arranged in RCB Design with 5 replications. Observation of seedling height, leaf area, leaf number, shoot & root fresh weights, shoot dry matter, and dry matter percentage from twenty-three days old seedlings were recorded. The total leaf area was estimated using the Image-J package. Data were tabulated in MS Excel and analyzed by Gen Stat. Treatments differed significantly in seedling height, shoot and root fresh weight, leaf area, root length, and shoot dry weight, while the number of leaves and dry matter percentage did not differ statistically. Maximum shoot fresh weight (1.09 g), shoot dry weight (0.11 g), leaf area (48.24 cm2), root length (4.89 cm), root fresh weight (0.03 g) per plant and shoot dry matter percentage (9.24%) were found in widest spacing (2 cm × 2 cm). However, seedling height was recorded higher in closer spacing. Therefore, the study of the overall characteristics asserted that the seed spaced at 2 cm × 2 cm produced superior seedling over all other spacings.

Background: Worldwide, tobacco smoking is a major risk factor for morbidity and early mortality among adult population. The present study aimed to find out the association between current smoking and suicidal ideation among young people in Nepal.
Materials and Methods: A cross-sectional questionnaire-based survey was carried out among 452 youths from Pokhara, Nepal. The present study included both genders (age 18-24 years) who were smokers as well as non-smokers.
Results: Across the study period, 452 participants were identified after matching for age, and sex (226 in the smoking group and 226 in the non-smoking group). The mean age of participants was 21.6±1.2 years and 58.8% were males. The overall rate of suicidal ideation in our cohort was 8.9%. Smokers were slightly more likely to report suicidal ideation than non-smokers (aOR 1.12). The risk of developing suicidal ideation was 3.56 (95% CI 1.26-10.09) times more in individuals who smoked greater than 3.5 cigarettes per week (p=0.01).
Conclusion: The rate of suicidal ideation was slightly higher among smokers and a dose-response relationship was identified with the number of cigarettes smoked per week. Being aware of the link between smoking and suicidal ideation may help health care professionals working with young people to address more effectively the issues of mental well-being and thoughts about suicide.

Published: March 2020

Purpose: We determined normative values for the Unsupported Upper Limb Exercise (UULEX) test and the 6-Minute Pegboard and Ring Test (6PBRT) in a sample of healthy Canadian adults aged 40–89 years. Method: Volunteers completed the UULEX test and the 6PBRT twice with an interval of 30 minutes between tests or after the variables of interest had returned to their baseline values. Results: A total of 97 volunteers completed the tests (53.4% female); their mean age was 64.3 (SD 13.9) years. Mean UULEX scores were 11.4 (SD 3.0) minutes for women and 12.4 (SD 2.5) minutes for men. The mean 6PBRT score was 404.7 (SD 100.1) rings moved. For both tests, younger individuals’ scores were higher.  As volunteers’ age increased, their functional performance on both tests was reduced: UULEX, r = –0.50 ( p = 0.001), and 6PBRT, r = –0.60 ( p = 0.001). Conclusions: These normative values increase the usefulness of these tests as measures of upper limb function.
Maronite writer Jibri`il Jarmanus Farhat (1670–1732) and his attempts to include the works of Christian Arab authors in the “virtual catalogue” of Arabic Muslim literature
Authors: Serikoff N. I. 
Published: March 2020

The article deals with the activities of the Maronite patriarch Gabriel German Farhat (1670–1732) in the field of the Arab bibliography. The author argues that by the 18th century AD in the Arabic-speaking literature of the Middle East, were used two types of introductions to the written texts, the Muslim and the Christian. The metalanguage, which was employed by Muslim authors in the introductions to their texts, was very convenient for constructing book-titles that by themselves built the “data base” of the so-called the Arabic Islamic “virtual catalogue”. The metalanguage used by Christian authors was different, and therefore in the library world of the Middle Ages two traditions were incompatible and therefore existed without intersecting. The Maronite Patriarch Gabriel German Farhat, being a bibliophile and a librarian, in his writings proposed organizing introductions to Christian texts in a Muslim manner, however, preserving their Christian content.The author declares that there is no conflict of interest.
How Many monarchies were there in Ancient Israel? Identifying and stating the problem
Authors: Desnitsky A. S. 
Published: March 2020

This article proposes a brief overview of the existing points of view concerning the emergence of the Ancient Israel state. The key question is the existence of the unified monarchy with Jerusalem as its capital which controlled the territories of Judea and Samaria. The scarcity of the archaeological findings makes this question dependent on how the historicity of the Biblical accounts on Saul, David and Solomon is seen. Some researches regard them as mythological while others as historical figures. Reconstructions of ancient history are never ideologically sterile, so the most important ideology here is Yahwism, a religious movement which gradually evolved from one step to another. Deuteronomist (the author of the Samuel-Kings cycle, most likely, a collective one) obviously adhered to his own version of Yahwism.
The Shah and the beggar: on the poetic dispute between Hafiz and Shah Ni‘matullah Vali
Authors: Prigarina N. I. , Chalisova N. Y. , Rusanov M. A. 
Published: March 2020

The article comprises an analysis of the famous ghazal by the 14th cent. Iranian poet Shams al-Din Hafiz. Traditionally it has been considered as a response to a poem by his late contemporary Shah Ni‘matullah Vali. This poetic dialogue is rather remarkable since it reveals both the literary and the personal polemics. The juxtaposing of the two texts opens in their research further hermeneutic perspectives. The ideal images of the ghazals’ lyrical characters can be projected onto the personalities of the two poets and their relationships, which provides the poem by Hafiz with a new semantic dimension.The authors declares that there is no conflict of interest.
Indonesian Yusuf and Zulaikha: Short Story “The Apple and the Knife” by Intan Paramaditha (2008)
Authors: Frolova M. V. 
Published: March 2020

The short story “Apple and Knife” (2008) by Indonesian writer Intan Paramaditha (born in 1979) is analysed within the comparative-typological framework of the Biblical and Quranic narrative about Yusuf and Zulaikha. The continuity of the motif transposition is traced from the literatures of the Middle East to that of the peoples of Nusantara who embraced Islam later. The intermediary was the Javanese Serat Yusup, which dates back to the 17th century. The literary skills and methods by Intan Paramaditha’s find their place somewhere in between the feminist literary criticism and horror stories. The deconstruction of some elements of the traditional narrative about Yusuf (e.g. the episode with the noble Egyptian women) makes the popular story to sound more meaningful to the readers of the modern Indonesian literature. In its turn, it sheds some light on the political and social developments of the “re-Islamized” island state of Indonesia.The author declares that there is no conflict of interest.
Confucian concept of “transmission of the Way” in the works by Han Yu
Authors: Starostina A. B. 
Published: March 2020

This article is an attempt to find out how one of the leaders of the revival of Antiquity movement in China, the philosopher Han Yu (768–824), saw the place of the Han era philosopher Yang Xiong (53 BCE – 18 CE) in the history of Confucianism and Chinese culture. The author argues that the works by Yang Xiong influenced the ideas by Han Yu especially those regarding the lineage of the transmission of the Path. She also suggests that because the Neo-Confucianists had interpreted these features in a specific way the connection, which contributed to the fact that the relationship as mentioned above was ignored.The author declares that there is no conflict of interest.

Published: March 2020

Kampus 7 Politeknik Kesehatan Kemenkes Semarang, merupakan salah instansi pendidikan yang terintegrasi dengan kantin, perumahan dosen serta memiliki lahan terbuka yang mencapai 2,3 ha terdapat timbulan sampah organik rata-rata 4 m3/minggu dan sampah an-organik rerata 0,85 m3/minggu dengan dominasi plastik (GELISH, 2019). Jurusan Kesehatan Lingkungan dan memiliki sumber daya manusia (SDM) yang mumpuni dalam bidang pengolahan sampah telah merintis unit percontohan komposter dengan metode run way yang bersusun dalam 10 bak. Upaya menangai sampah organik telah terwujud dalam hasil produk pengolahan berupa kompos organik. Seiring berjalannya kegiatan pengomposan, dilakukan kegiatan evaluasi kegiatan. Hasil evaluasi terdapat catatan penting pada proses pengomposan yang dilakukan, seperti proses pembalikan sampah yang terlalu banyak, pemindahan sampah pada bak pengomposan yang banyak, keluhan bau yang menyengat dan risiko tertusuk dari sampah kaleng/ kaca dan hasil kompos kurang maksimal. Semua kondisi tersebut disebabkan karena kegiatan masih dilakukan secara manual oleh tenaga kebersihan. Desain penelitian ini adalah adalah pra eksperimen dengan rancangan penelitian Post Test Only Design.Lokasi penelitian ini dilakukan di lokasi pengolahan sampah (komposter) di Kampus 7 Poltekkes Kemenkes Semarang. Dalam penelitian ini populasi yang dimaksud oleh peneliti adalah seluruh warga kampus 7 dan seluruh timbulan sampah. Sampel penelitian ini adalah sampah plastik yang terdapat pada bak pengolahan kompos, hasil pemanenan sampah plastik dengan rata-rata volume sebesar 0,3 m3/minggu. Analisis data yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini adalah analisis deskriptif dari hasil penghancuran sampah plastik. Alat pengahancur sampah yang telah dibuat memiliki kemampu dalam mencacah sampah mencapai 5 cm, dengan kapasitas penghancuran sekitar 10 kg/7,5 menit = 80 Kg/jam (10 kg paslik = 5 karung sampah plastic). Maka mesin tersebut mampu menghancurkan plastic sekitar 0,083 m3/jam. Jadi utk menghancurkan sampah plastik kampus 7 sekitar 0,3 m3/mg dibutuhkan waktu sekitar 3,6 jam. Diperlukannya penyesuaian lanjutan terhadap kemampuan mata pisau. Perlu ditingkatkan kemampuan motor penggerak, sehingga hasil pencacahan akan lebih cepat.

Islamic Masculinities
Authors: Kanafani Samar 
Published: March 2020

There is a great dearth of studies on masculinities in the Islamic and Arab world, and emerging literature on ‘subaltern’ masculinities (in this region at least) comes mostly in the form of collected essays as opposed to single-author, depth-of-field treatises. But even as it grows, this young field seems to avoid building up a canon, and this is by no means a criticism. Practitioners in this field, as in this particular collection of essays, have opted for multiplicity in form as well as content rather than any unitary voice.
A Transnational Dialogue from the Arab-Argentine Immigrant Press
Authors: Logroño Narbona María del Mar 
Published: March 2020

Beyond the geographical borders of the Middle East, discourses and debates about Middle Eastern women played an important role in the Arabic immigrant press inthe Mahjar (diaspora). This article explores the particular case of al-Istiklaal in the final moments and aftermath of the Great Syrian Revolt, “the largest, longest, andmost destructive of the Arab Middle Eastern revolts” (Provence, 2005, p. 12). From its first issue in June 1926 until late 1929, this Arab-Argentine newspaper systematically attacked the French Mandate and advocated for an independent Syria and Lebanon, which should be part of a larger pan-Arab political entity.
Family Laws: The Changing and the Pseudo-Eternal
Authors: Hamadeh Najla 
Published: March 2020

Laws are a basic necessity of civilized living. They organize the various functions in society, ensure property rights, and aim to restrain transgression by stipulating to punish or rehabilitate transgressors. Laws also define the rights and responsibilities of each person vis-à-vis the state and with respect to other people. This is why they are an integral part, indeed a justification, of any theory of social contract.

Activisms in Egypt
Authors: Lewis Leslie R. 
Published: March 2020

In spite of rhetoric about an incipient citizen’s democracy in Egypt, civil conditions are such that they militate against organized change. There is a sustained (23-year) state of emergency which limits public protest, political parties and civil organizations. Depressed economic conditions tend to draw people away from social and political concerns in favor of basic survival. In spite of this, a growing minority of citizens do engage in numerous diverse forms of activism. Women form a large part of this cadre. Contrary to the stereotypical depiction of them as passivevictims of patriarchal oppression, women have organized themselves for over a century around various feminist, nationalist and religious causes. They have challenged both state authority, and prevailing gender ideologies and practices that shape their everyday lives (Al-Ali 2003).

Is There a Lesbian Identity in the Arab Culture?
Authors: Al-Ghafari Dr. Iman 
Published: March 2020

The subject of female homosexuality in the Arab intellectual tradition has always been one of absence or dismissal. This can be attributed to the fact that female sexuality is mostly seen as primarily heterosexual in a predominantly patriarchal culture. Consequently, erotic relations among women are devalued as a temporary substitute for the love of men, and are considered of no real threat to the dominant heterosexual system as long as they remain undercover, or in the closet. Because homoerotic desire “defies social norms, breaks patternsand expectations for relationships” (Hart 69), homosexuality is a taboo subject that is rarely dealt with in Arabic literature. Hence, my main interest in this paper is to examine the grass roots of the lesbian identity in feminist discourse, and to relate the representations of lesbians in some interdisciplinary publications in lesbian studies to two recent Arabic novels: Misk Al-Ghazal (Women of Sand and Myrrh, 1986) by Hanan Al-Shaykh, and Ana, Hiya, Anti (I am You, 2000) by Elham Mansour.
