Authors: Khan Shagufta Akhtar , Nizami Rahila , Parmar Vishnu 
Published: January 2023

The present study is an effort to check out the association among motivation and the use of Location-based social media by the young athletes of private universities at Lahore. The lack of communication bound the sports community and young athletes. To fill this gap location-based social media is the best option because athletes and fans can share sports related activities, comments, photos, videos etc during different matches. This problem statement is based on personal observation and experience of the researcher. The rapid growth of social media and location-based social media platforms has highlighted the need to understand the audiences that are utilizing these mediums and the types of social sharing that they are involved with. Sports organizations and personnel can utilize that information to plan and conduct sports related activities accordingly. Motivate and attract more people towards sports so that they can engage in sports and get benefits of healthy and active lifestyle.
Purpose of the study: The aim of this study was to examine the relationship of sports motivation with using location-based social media by young male and female athletes at the university level.
Methodology: The Quantitative / Survey research was carried out through online web generated surveys/forms in two private sector universities, UOL (University of Lahore) and UCP (University of Central Punjab). Stratified sampling was done. A total number of 101 young athletes between 18-39 years of age from these two private sector universities participated in this study. Verified rating scales about motivation and usage of location-based social media were used to find out the association of sports motivation with using location-based social media by the young athletes at the university level.
Main Findings: Findings revealed that there is a significant positive relation between the sports motivation and the use of location-based social media by young athletes thus promoting the sports community desires and popularity among these athletes. Not much research is done to explore the location-based social media use in sports activities. The study will also be helpful for sports field and associations to make strong communication among sports or young athletes.
Application of this study: Sports authorities can get detailed information about athletes, fans, coaches and players. Chalk out the trends, likes and dislikes of people of specific areas. It will be easy for them to offer their services and products accordingly.
Novelty of this study: Research on location-based social media is very rare internationally and almost a new area for research in Pakistan.

The paradox of assessing greenhouse gases from soils for nature-based solutions
Authors: Vargas Rodrigo , Le Van Huong 
Published: January 2023

Abstract. Quantifying the role of soils in nature-based solutions requires accurate estimates of soil greenhouse gas (GHG) fluxes. Technological advances
allow us to measure multiple GHGs simultaneously, and now it is possible to provide complete GHG budgets from soils (i.e., CO2, CH4,
and N2O fluxes). We propose that there is a conflict between the convenience of simultaneously measuring multiple soil GHG fluxes at fixed
time intervals (e.g., once or twice per month) and the intrinsic temporal variability in and patterns of different GHG fluxes. Information derived from
fixed time intervals – commonly done during manual field campaigns – had limitations to reproducing statistical properties, temporal dependence,
annual budgets, and associated uncertainty when compared with information derived from continuous measurements (i.e., automated hourly measurements)
for all soil GHG fluxes. We present a novel approach (i.e., temporal univariate Latin hypercube sampling) that can be applied to provide insights
and optimize monitoring efforts of GHG fluxes across time. We suggest that multiple GHG fluxes should not be simultaneously measured at a few fixed
time intervals (mainly when measurements are limited to once per month), but an optimized sampling approach can be used to reduce bias and
uncertainty. These results have implications for assessing GHG fluxes from soils and consequently reduce uncertainty in the role of soils in
nature-based solutions.
Warm conveyor belts in present-day and future climate simulations – Part 2: Role of potential vorticity production for cyclone intensification
Authors: Binder Hanin , Joos Hanna , Sprenger Michael , Wernli Heini 
Published: January 2023

Abstract. Warm conveyor belts (WCBs) are strongly ascending, cloud- and precipitation-forming airstreams in extratropical cyclones. The intense cloud-diabatic processes produce low-level cyclonic potential vorticity (PV) along the ascending airstreams, which often contribute to the intensification of the associated cyclone. This study investigates how climate change affects the cyclones' WCB strength and the importance of WCB-related diabatic PV production for cyclone intensification, based on present-day (1990–1999) and future (2091–2100) climate simulations of the Community Earth System Model Large Ensemble (CESM-LE). In each period, a large number of cyclones and their associated WCB trajectories have been identified in both hemispheres during the winter season. WCB trajectories are identified as strongly ascending air parcels that rise at least 600 hPa in 48 h. Compared to ERA-Interim reanalyses, the present-day climate simulations are able to capture the cyclone structure and the associated WCBs reasonably well, which gives confidence in future projections with CESM-LE. However, the amplitude of the diabatically produced low-level PV anomaly in the cyclone centre is underestimated in the climate simulations, most likely because of reduced vertical resolution compared to ERA-Interim. The comparison of the simulations for the two climates reveals an increase in the WCB strength and the cyclone intensification rate in the Southern Hemisphere (SH) in the future climate. The WCB strength also increases in the Northern Hemisphere (NH) but to a smaller degree, and the cyclone intensification rate is not projected to change considerably. Hence, in the two hemispheres cyclone intensification responds differently to an increase in WCB strength. Cyclone deepening correlates positively with the intensity of the associated WCB, with a Spearman correlation coefficient of 0.68 (0.66) in the NH in the present-day (future) simulations and a coefficient of 0.51 (0.55) in the SH. The number of explosive cyclones with strong WCBs, referred to as C1 cyclones, is projected to increase in both hemispheres, while the number of explosive cyclones with weak WCBs (C3 cyclones) is projected to decrease. A composite analysis reveals that in the future climate C1 cyclones will be associated with even stronger WCBs, more WCB-related diabatic PV production, the formation of a more intense PV tower, and an increase in precipitation. They will become warmer, moister, and slightly more intense. The findings indicate that (i) latent heating associated with WCBs (as identified with our method) will increase, (ii) WCB-related PV production will be even more important for explosive cyclone intensification than in the present-day climate, and (iii) the interplay between dry and moist dynamics is crucial to understand how climate change affects cyclone intensification.

A Note on Ambiguity in W.B. Yeats’ “Sailing to Byzantium”
Authors: Dr. Sandhya Tripathi  
Published: January 2023

W.B. Yeats is a poet of great artistic honesty and integrity. In his critical statements he has candidly stated his artistic intentions and preoccupations. For such students of Yeats as have been puzzled by the artistic intentions of the poet in regard to the subject matter of his poetry, he has clarified his stance in his cryptic remark, “I remake myself” in my poetic compositions. Yeats, as every scholar knows it, is paradoxically a very complex and a simple poet. His complexity lies in his reader’s bewilderment at the contradictory artistic issues and his simplicity lies in its being a key to the unlocking of some of the ambiguities lurking in some of his poems. In his poetry, sometime he raises an issue which develops logically but the conclusion seems to stultify his explicit poetic statement, because the conclusion of the poem is deliberately made meaningfully ambiguous. His “Sailing to Byzantium” is a poem of this type of complex simplicity.
A Psychological Study of Fate in Arthur Miller’s The Man Who Had All the Luck
Authors: Rachna Rathore  , Dr. S. K. Yadav  
Published: January 2023

Fate plays a big role in human life. It is also known as luck, destiny, and fortune. People believe that fate is not under the control of man. They have a wrong interpretation of fate because they connect the entire situation with fate. This paper explains the psychological concept of fate revealed in the play, The Man Who Had All the Luck, written by Arthur Miller. Miller tells the power of mind brilliantly rather than the fate in this play. This play is not only a social study but also a psychological study. This paper focuses on the fate and chance of man. People value fate without knowing the power of mind which is responsible for their destruction. Through the characters of the play, we can understand the importance of choices in our life. Fate is not responsible for our failure or success but our choices or decisions are responsible. That is why, Arthur Miller has said about the play, “trying to weigh how much of our lives is a result of our character and how much is a result of our destiny” (Arthur Miller, xix).
“Numbing of the Heart”: Negotiating with Humanity in the Wake of the Pandemic in Jack London’s The Scarlet Plague
Authors: Dibyajyoti Das  
Published: January 2023

As the world progresses in its fight against COVID-19, the human civilization finds itself fighting against more than just a mere pathogen. Besides being an unprecedented health emergency, the pandemic has caused breakdowns in many other fronts as well. One of the very alarming issues is the incidents of inhumanity, callousness and deliberate cruelty by people towards their fellow-sufferers, which may incite far-reaching complications in the human society. In the worst case scenario, civilization could go either way- to become more united than ever or to fall to pieces with the extinction of human values- depending on our response in the wake of the pandemic. Plague and pestilence have ever been a popular topic in literature. Here, I take the case of Jack London's The Scarlet Plague for a study of the reversion to cruelty of all humans in the face of the plague and also what are the exceptions that have been admitted by the author to suggest how the retention of the ideals of human bonding and empathy can help us stand a chance in the hour of doom. This short novel has particular relevance to the present scenario for its temporal resemblances to the present outbreak, for London's preoccupation with naturalism in his fantasy and for his reliance on the latest scientific discoveries in virology and other modern technologies. The novel is also full of tropes that suggest that the germs of destruction are borne by the sociological framework and the ideologies that go into the foundation of the society.
Rama Mehta’s Inside the Haveli: Geeta’s Journey from Bondage to Liberation
Authors: Dr. Budhanath Pratihast  
Published: January 2023

Since ancient time, women have been placed at the secondary role by the patriarchs in our society. They are given less important as compared to men. Our society always keeps women under their pressure because they have to do all the household chores, take care of the cattle, children and the other members of the family. Even the responsibility of the kitchen is given to them. In the modern context, women are doing jobs also but they have to do all the kitchen work of their homes apart from other duties. Men are generally given only one responsibility i.e. to earn bread for the family. Apart from that they usually play no significant role in the family. The present paper analyses the character of Geeta in Rama Mehta’s feminist novel Inside the Haveli in which Geeta faces many problems in her life in Udaipur city but finally she wins in her attempts.
English Language Acquisition of the Secondary School Students Belonging to Tribal Area of Nanded District: An Investigation
Authors: Vithoba Pandit Khairnar  , Dr. Nirmala S. Padmavat  
Published: January 2023

Being an International language English holds an important position in school curriculum of India. It is introduced as a second or third language. The students not only study it as language but as a subject. However the performance of the students in English is a matter of discussion. There are some issues regarding English language acquisition at secondary level of school education. These issues are much intense in Tribal area of the country in general and Maharashtra in special. The remote, backward, notified tribal areas of the Maharashtra are known for the diversity of sociolinguistic factors. Nanded district located to south east part of Maharashtra state has the tribal region covering Kinwat and Mahoor tehsils. Most of the people in this area are the people from Scheduled Tribe and Nomadic Tribe social categories. The schools located in this tribal area are mostly in vernacular language i.e. in Marathi. Despite of the strenuous, Himalayan efforts undertaken by the state government, a sorry state of affairs is still rampant to exist in the achievement of English and the acquisition of English language of secondary school students belonging to tribal area of Nanded district in Maharashtra state is not satisfactory. The dialects, social background, weaker economic condition, aloofness from the advanced world, lack of amenities, health issues, ignorance are some of the social issues. Poor infrastructure, lack of teaching aids and competent teachers in tribal schools are some causes behind poor performance in English language. Students commit mistakes in spellings, sentence formation in addition to wrong pronunciation.
A Study of Mental Illness in Pasho in Krishna Sobti’s Memory’s Daughter
Authors: Navdeep Kaur  
Published: January 2023

Since the second half of the twentieth century, cultural theorists have shown more interest in understanding the interaction between body and culture. This interaction has been studied from the perspective of illness-experience in individuals by Arthur Kleinman and Judith Lorber. Judith Lorber and Lise Jean Moore in Gender and Social construction of Illness advocate illness not merely a bodily event but a social experience –a disturbance in social lives without or without physical dysfunction wherein one feels constraints upon body in pursuing the usual tasks of life. Kleinman in Illness Narrative studies illness as a cultural construct, wherein some bodily conditions are categorized as illness and some are often passed on as normal because what is seen a normal and natural in a culture is based on the shared understanding in that culture. The present paper aims to explore the role of culture through the lens of illness experience in Pasho in Krishna Sobti’s Memory’s Daughter.
Uncovering Asymmetries in Monetary Policy Transmission in the Economic Community of West African States: Dynamic Heterogeneous Panel Analysis
Authors: Tucker Joseph Ansu 
Published: January 2023

ABSTRACTAs the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS) gravitates toward establishing a monetary union, characterized by a common central bank and a single currency, the eco, there is need for deeper knowledge of the monetary policy transmission mechanism to ensure the effective conduct of a common monetary policy in the region. This study investigates the existence of potential asymmetries in the transmission of monetary policy impulses and the implications for monetary policy effectiveness under a unified framework. It employs the dynamic heterogeneous structural panel vector autoregressive (VAR) modeling technique developed by Pedroni (2013), which allows for heterogeneous country-specific dynamics and accommodates cross-sectional dependencies. Based on quarterly data covering the period 1994–2016, the findings reveal statistically insignificant responses of real gross domestic product (GDP) and inflation in member countries to a common monetary policy shock, though the country-specific responses exhibit some asymmetries. The panel estimates for the region also do not produce statistically significant responses to the unanticipated monetary policy shock. In addition, the results indicate that the two plausible monetary transmission channels—the bank lending channel and the exchange rate channel—are either weak or inoperable at the level of ECOWAS and that could undermine the effective conduct of a common monetary policy within the proposed monetary union. Policy should, therefore, be directed at enhancing the transmission of monetary policy impulses in the region, including through far-reaching financial sector reforms, modernization of monetary policy frameworks, and the comprehensive harmonization of institutional and operational mechanisms of monetary policy across member countries.
