Published: August 2022

Tropical deciduous forest is highly threatened and transformed by agricultural activities in Chiapas; however, little is known about its successional dynamics and regeneration potential. The objective of this research was to evaluate the regenerative capacity of secondary forests through changes in richness, diversity, composition, and structure in a forest reserve in the Central Depression of Chiapas. Twenty sampling units (SU) of 1,000 m2 were established in forests with different ages of abandonment (C10, C19, C35 and >C40, representing 10 years, 19 years, 35 years and 40 years, respectively), in which all individuals ≥5 cm normal diameter (ND) were measured. Attributes of structure and diversity were compared in each condition by analysis of variance and Tukey mean comparison test (p < 0.05) and floristic composition by ordination and classification analysis. A total of 142 species grouped in 96 genera and 41 families were recorded. Leguminosae was the family with the most species and individuals. The species with the highest relative abundances were Montanoa tomentosa (5.1%) and Tecoma stans (5%). Significant differences (p < 0.05) were found in cumulative richness, diversity (Shannon-Weiner H’ and 1D), density of individuals (ind ha-1), maximum height (m), basal area (m2 ha-1) and aboveground biomass (Mg ha-1). The multivariate analysis of variance procedure with permutations indicated significant differences (p < 0.05) in species composition between early (C10 and C19) and later (C35–C40) conditions. It was concluded that the structure and floristic composition of the secondary forest is recovering slowly (low resilience), so it is necessary to implement activities conducive to its conservation in the short term.

Cloud forests are ecosystems with a restricted distribution and high biodiversity, but they are highly threatened due to land use change. The objective of this study is to evaluate and prioritize existing cloud forest fragments to achieve their long-term conservation, combining threat levels and the potential response capacity of various conservation instruments in Mexico, through a triage tool. Threat levels were calculated based on human disturbance coverage, estimated specifically for Mexico. The response capacity was estimated using the presence of the different conservation instruments in each fragment. Once the triage level per fragment was obtained, these were analyzed by ecoregion. The results showed that the area of primary cloud forest, has been reduced between 53–73%, and only 31.6% (including primary and secondary forest) is under some protection scheme. We identified a group of fragments on the Pacific slope that require special attention due to the small coverage and their high level of priority. The ecoregions: Sierra Madre del Sur of Guerrero and Oaxaca, Los Altos de Chiapas, Sierra Madre Oriental and Central Mexico corresponding to the largest concentration of cloud forest in the trans-Mexican volcanic belt,70% of which are listed as a priority for emergency protection.
Managerial approach for transplanted rare plants: A proposal
Authors: Matsui Akira 
Published: August 2022

The species currently listed as rare plants are roughly divided into two types. The populations of one type of rare plants (including Pellionia minima Makino) have decreased due to habitat changes (e.g., from a wet environment to a dry environment) by human-driven development. The populations of the other type of rare plants (including disturbance-dependent species) have decreased because they are unmanaged. The former type of plants is stress tolerance-strategy or competition-strategy species, whereas the latter is only ruderal-strategy species. The stress tolerance-strategy or competition-strategy species do not need management after the protection period ends, but the ruderal-strategy species require adaptive management even after the protection period expires. The protection period of P. minima (a stress-tolerant competitor) is estimated to be approx. 1 year after transplant because P. minima have sufficient ecological adaptability and resilience, and growth in these plants is confirmed roughly 1 year after transplant.

Abstract
Indonesia is a unique country, where differences and diversity can coexist within the framework of unity. However, diversity in Indonesia, especially in terms of belief, can also trigger disharmony conflicts in the form of cases of blasphemy. The case of Hadfana Fairus "The Kicker of Sesajen" is one example. Through a viral video circulating on social media, it shows him throwing and kicking offerings on Mount Semeru, Lumajang, East Java. Reflecting on these problems, the researcher is interested in studying more deeply about the implications of the case of "The Kicker of Sesajen" as a reflection of learning in order to maintain the quality of the existence of religious moderation. In this study, several formulations of the problem were formulated, namely related to the chronology of the case of "The Kicker of Sesajen", the urgency of religious moderation in Indonesia, and the last reflection of learning in the case of "The Kicker of Sesajen". Using this type of qualitative research with a case study approach, followed by the method of collecting data from literature or literature studies, as well as Miles and Huberman's interactive data analysis techniques, the results of this study indicate that religious moderation is quite urgent in a plural and multicultural Indonesia. On this basis, the case of "The Kicker of Sesajen" can provide a reflection of learning for religious people in maintaining the quality of the existence of religious moderation in Indonesia, both in terms of humanism, religiosity, and also the law.

Published: August 2022

O presente trabalho tem por objetivo analisar a atuação proativa e política do Poder Judiciário brasileiro, especialmente, o Supremo Tribunal Federal a partir do seu protagonismo no cenário nacional para solução de causas difíceis em uma sociedade cada vez mais plural, o qual enseja o risco da violação do princípio da separação dos três poderes, não sendo descartado o excesso discricionariedade e de atitude antidemocrática. A análise é realizada tendo por base a teoria da integridade jurídica de Ronald Dworkin. Para se alcançar a hipótese defendida, optou-se em utilizar o método de procedimento jurídico-descritivo, posto que se trata de estudo que opera no campo teórico-interpretativo da realidade. A técnica para construção das ideias foi a revisão bibliográfica, à medida em que se parte da Teoria da Integridade para compreender a essencialidade da unicidade do direito, ética, moral e política ao se defrontar com a interpretação das normas jurídicas.

John Sidney Swan: a genuine article
Authors: Linzey Kate 
Published: August 2022

The architect John Sidney Swan (1874-1936) represents a little represented group in the history of New Zealand architecture. At the establishment of the New Zealand Institute of Architects in 1905, Swan was one of few architects present, along with William Gray Young (1895-1962), who had been trained in New Zealand through the article system. While training "on the job" was a common occurrence in the early development of the building industry in this country, few of these architects achieved great renown. Swan however, was a prominent architect in his day, designing Erskine Chapel in Island Bay (1906), Saint Gerard's Church in Mount Victoria (1908) and an unbuilt proposal for a Roman Catholic Basilica in Dufferin Street (1912).
This renown may have been due to Swan's mentor, Fredrick de Jersey Clere, the vocal English émigré architect. However, this mentorship does not wholly explain Swan's prolific, and sometimes eccentric practice. This paper is part of an ongoing project to document Swan's work, and develop an understanding of his particular style, which, on the one hand, reflects an awareness of the contemporary English fashions, and yet, on the other, rejoices in an almost theatrical excessiveness, quite contrary both to the evolving architectural austerity of modernism, and Clere's more restrained style.
The Politics of Empire and the Architecture of Identity: Public Architecture in New Zealand 1900-1918
Authors: Lochhead Ian 
Published: August 2022

During the period from 1900 to 1918 new governmental buildings were constructed throughout New Zealand as part of a campaign to provide accommodation for government departments. Post offices, court houses and departmental buildings appeared in provincial towns as well as in major cities, almost all products of the government's architectural office, led by John Campbell. The exuberant Imperial Baroque style adopted for these buildings reflects a new national confidence but also follows closely the precedent of British public building of the period. Auckland's former Chief Post Office (1908-11) for example, is closely modelled on Sir Henry Tanner's Central Post Office in London (1907).
The extent and consistency of the Government's building programme was intended to promote a sense of national unity although its dependence on British models seems to confirm Hurst Seager's argument that New Zealand had yet to develop a distinctive architectural style. The use of the Imperial Baroque style, culminating in Campbell's design for Parliament Buildings of 1911, reflected New Zealand's strong sense of identification with the British Empire, also expressed through the contributions of its politicians at Imperial Conferences from 1897 to 1911. Unlike their counterparts from Canada and Australia, New Zealand politicians argued for stronger imperial bonds as a way of ensuring greater influence over imperial policies. This paper will argue that in fact, New Zealand public architecture of the period 1900-18 reflects a clear sense of national identity but one that is defined in terms of Britishness and conceived within the larger framework of the security provided by imperial solidarity.
Early Twentieth Century Town Planning Improvements in New Zealand
Authors: Petrović Emina 
Published: August 2022

The first decades of the twentieth century were critical for an introduction of town planning views in New Zealand. This was the time when the country was moving in a natural progression from solving the basic problems of establishing new settlements, through extensive infrastructural works (construction of roads and railroads; introduction of electricity and tramways, etc), to the point of early re-evaluations and criticisms of the achieved results. Concurrently the British town planning concepts were, for the first time, discussed among New Zealand architectural professionals and other interested parties as the New Zealand cities and towns were actively being constructed with new and improved infrastructure. This period provided ample opportunity to set up models that could influence future urban developments.
This paper will discuss the professional town planning developments in relation to the broader context of urban improvements of the same period. It will explore the concepts that underpinned the developments and evaluate the lasting effects they have had on the development of New Zealand towns and cities.
Impact of Green Intellectual Capital on Sustainable Green Banking: Moderating Role of Competitive Pressure
Authors: Zahra Azin , Ayub Huma , Abdullah  
Published: August 2022

Purpose: Adoption of an environmentalist perspective in banking operational base through social, economic, and environmentally sustainable activities becomes debatable for firm performance. The study aims to examine the impact of green intellectual capital on sustainable green banking and the moderating role of competitive pressure between them.
Design/Methodology/Approach: The study surveyed by using self-administrative questionnaires from the bank employees of Rawalpindi and Islamabad. The data was collected from a sample size of 351 by using a random sampling technique. The measures of Green Intellectual Capital (GIC) are encompassed three elements as Green human capital (GHC), Green Structural Capital (GSC), and Green Relational Capital (GRC) comprising 18 items (Yusof, Omar, Zaman, & Samad, 2019) and moderator competitive pressure comprising of 7 items was adopted (Sophonthummapharn, 2009).
Findings: The result of the study shows that green intellectual capital positively contributes toward achieving sustainable green banking. Competitive pressure moderates the said relationship in the context of the Pakistani banking sector. The finding of the study implies that banks in Pakistan implement green activities because of the competitive force of the external environment and achieve both sustainability in terms of environmental protection and less amount of carbon print. Therefore, banks have more focus on the use of green intellectual capital containing green human capital, green structural capital, and green relational capital than the banks achieve sustainable green banking.
Implications/Originality/Value: The study provides a practical implementation for banks to move towards sustainable green banking.

Published: August 2022

Purpose: The objective of the study was to analyze illiteracy as a source of women as compensation for settlement tribal clashes in District Khairpur, Sindh Pakistan. The present study was conducted in a rural area of District Khairpur.
Design/Methodology/Approach: The Data were collected through a questionnaire from the victims of Parents, brothers, and blood relatives of women. A sample size of 460 was randomly selected. Using techniques of descriptive statistics, reliability, and regression analysis to find out the relationship between Illiteracy and women as compensation (Sangchatti). All techniques were performed in SPSS 25.0 version for the data analysis.
Findings: Illiteracy is a societal problem, which has unfavorable effects on the overall living conditions of tribal individuals. The high illiteracy ratio is one of the causes of tribal clashes and women as compensation for settlement disputes. Moreover, Illiteracy and women as compensation (Sangchatti) have a significant relationship among them. When they are having their businesses, in such cases as well, when they are literate, they will be able to render a significant contribution to achieving personal and professional goals. There are various causes of illiteracy, which are experienced by tribal individuals.
Implications/Originality/Value: The study indicated that despite the provision of resources for their education, people had strong reservations about educating their females because of the tribal structure, their fear of Wadera, and their acceptance of their involvement in decision-making.

Published: August 2022

Purpose: Corruption is one of the mega issues faced by developing countries like Pakistan. It not only erodes the macroeconomic performance of a country but also widens the gap between rich and poor by accelerating income inequality and poverty level. The present tries to examine the effects of corruption on poverty in Pakistan.
Design/Methodology/Approach: The present research based on the secondary data from the Transparency International and World Bank database, from the period 1997 to 2019. The study has applied the Johanson Cointegration and Vector Error Correction Method (VECM) as an econometric technique.
Findings: The empirical findings conclude that corruption and inflation are significantly and positively associated with poverty in Pakistan. However, the employed labor force shows a negative relationship with the poverty rate.
Implications/Originality/Value: Based on the results, the study suggested that for the reduction and eradication of corruption the present judiciary system should be improved. Supremacy of Law should be implemented.

Authors: Siraj Kubra , Khan Muhammad Imran , Naqvi Kamran Abbas 
Published: August 2022

Purpose: The purpose of the study is to inform the ministry of commerce and trade about the significant implications of trade facilitation for the improvement of trade in the SAARC region. This paper attempts to estimate the relationship between trade facilitation indicators and trade volume and also explored the correlation between trade facilitation reforms and the trade volume in the case of SAARC countries.
Design/Methodology/Approach: This paper is an empirical approach, which is based on secondary data from SAARC countries for the period 2006 to 2013. The study uses Pooled OLS, Fixed effect, and a random effect model for the empirical analysis.
Findings: The results of the study show, that is a significant relationship between trade facilitation and trade volume. Decreasing the total number of documents required will make it possible for SAARC countries to trade with high frequency. The study also found that a marginal decrease in the total cost of trade also encourages traders to reach the targeted trade volume.
Implications/Originality/Value: The trade facilitation reforms can be an effective policy option on the regional level across all the SAARC countries. However other policy reforms and actions such as basic physical infrastructure, good governance and insuring political stability are also obligatory for the possible improvement of the trading capabilities of SAARC countries.
