title: State formation and the establishment of non Muslim hegemony in the post-Mughal nineteenth century Panjab.
Creators: name: Singh, Rishi
Publisher: name: SOAS University of London
Year: 2009

description: This thesis examines the state formation process in Panjab and the qualitative change in the hegemony of elites from Muslims to non Muslims in the first half of the nineteenth centuiy. The work argues that after the emergence of the Sikh faith in the fifteenth century there appeared on the social fabric of elites two distinct categories Muslim and the non Muslim, The emergence and expansion of the Sikh religious ethos and the political ambitions of its leadership influenced the political scenario in Panjab under the Mughal rulers. It is the argument here that even though Muslim and Sikh religious leaderships engaged with each other, the conversion of Panjabis both from Hindu and Muslim backgrounds to Sikhism began to create problems for the Muslim elites in Panjab. The religious group of Muslims existed w ith that of the Sikh and the Hindus but at the time of political tensions, clear allegiances were formed between the two groups, especially at the moments when the call of Jehad {lcub}a religious call to war for the followers of Islam) was given by the Muslim elites. The vision of a state not controlled by the Muslim elites, who were Mughals or Afghans, became fundamental for the new non Muslim elites of the Panjab. The particular case studies of Multan, Kashmir and Peshawar, examine the process of change from the Muslim elites to the non Muslim elites. It is postulated in the work that though the ideology of Islam as the common factor became instrumental in the aligning together of many tribal elites, it could not sustain the alliance against the non Muslims, in the region beyond the river Indus, due to various inter rivalries between different Muslim groups. The thesis examines the reasons behind the sustenance of the state under Ranjit Singh and the policies adopted by him which gave him the right to establish his legitimate domination over his majority Muslim subjects. This aspect of deriving legitimacy from Muslim subjects by Ranjit Singh has been examined in five different areas of governance, namely religious policy, justice, army, agrarian policy and the formation of new Muslim elites.
title: Shia-Ismaili motifs in the Sufi architecture of the Indus Valley, 1200-1500 A.D.
Creators: name: Khan, Hasan Ali
Publisher: name: SOAS University of London
Year: 2009

description: The study of the relationship between Shiism and Sufism is one of the most unexplored areas of Islamic studies, which has traditionally been hindered by the lack of primary sources. This is especially so in the case of Ismailism in the Indo-Iranian world, where that denomination held sway in the latter medieval Islamic era. Fortunately, in the case of the Indus Valley, certain religious ceremonies and a number of monuments common to the medieval Ismaili da'wa (mission) and the associated Suhrawardi Sufi Order, have survived. The comparison of the religious ceremonial at the shrine of the renowned Ismaili missionary Shams, with the iconography found on contemporaneous Suhrawardi monuments yields the covert connection that had existed between them. This was through an astrological framework based on the Persian New Year, and the vice regency and succession of the first Shia Imam Ali, as declared in the last sermon of the Prophet according to all Shiism. The nature and use of this framework is necessarily Ismaili in the Indus Valley. The astrological resonances of All's vice regency and succession to Muhammad were first intercalated by Shams with the local calendar for the benefit of his followers, and subsequently used to create a transcendental multi-faith Islamic system called the Satpanth, or True Path. The application of the Satpanth is found as astrological symbolism on the monuments of the Suhrawardi Order. In addition, an unorthodox monument archetype which is common to the buildings associated with both Ismaili missionaries and Suhrawardi Sufis endorses this connection further. A combination of extant religious ceremonial and iconography, the common monument archetype and a critical re-examination of history with local sources constitutes the methodological process which shows the covert Shia-Ismaili beliefs of the Suhrawardi Order in the Indus Valley. In the present day, these monuments are at risk of being destroyed by the Pakistani state apparatus, which traditionally sees Suhrawardi Sufi heritage in a Sunni light. This pressure has been accentuated in the aftermath of the Afghan War when puritanical elements made inroads into the official bodies which manage these monuments and shrines.
title: The life and works of Amir Hasan Dihlavi.
Creators: name: Borrah, M. I.
Publisher: name: SOAS University of London
Year: 1931

description: The dissertation has been divided into the following three principal divisions: I. The Introduction, which presents a general survey of the origin and history of the development of Indo-Persian literature proceeding the age of Hasan. II. The life of the poet: Amir Hasan Dihlavi, the son of a Persian emigrant to India, named 'Ala-u'd-Din Sanjari, was one of the greatest Indo-Persian poets who flourished during the late seventh and early eight centuries of the Hijra. He was born at Delhi in A.H. 651 (A.D. 1253), during the reign of Nasir-u'd-Din Mahmud. He began to compose verse whe he was a child of thirteen, and devoted himself to the art of poesy for a period of fifty years. In the prime of his youth he attached himself to the court of Ghiyas-u'd-Din Balban and his son Prince Muhammad, in whose service he spent five years at Multan, together with his contemporary Amir Khusraw. After the fall of the House of Balban he lived under the patronage of the Khalji Kings, and at the age of fifty-six he became a disciple of Nizam-u'd-Din Awliya. He died in A.H. 729 (A.D. 1328) at Dawlatabad when Sultan Muhammad Tughlaq transferred the capital from Delhi and forced its population to migrate there. III. His works: His extant political works are contained in a Divan, which comprises about ten thousand couplets, containing Qasidas, Ghazals, Qita's, Rubayis, and a romantic Masnani called Hikayat-i-Ashiq-i-Naguri. His prose works that have survived to us are a short piece of Marsiza written on the occasion of the death of Prince Muhammad, and the Fawaid-u'l-Fu'ad, a collection of discourses made by his spiritual guide at a number of successive meetings held during the years A.H. 707-722 (A.D. 307-22). None of his works has yet been published. This is the first systematic attempt that has ever been made to bring him to the notice of the modern world.

title: Nature of consciousness in Hindu philosophy.
Creators: name: Saksena, S. K.
Publisher: name: SOAS University of London
Year: 1939

description: The study of Hindu Philosophy has so far been dominated by a purely historical interest, and not infrequently, it is more a time-honoured specific system than a philosophical problem in general which has attracted the scholar. The study of Hindu metaphysics, viewed from this standpoint alone is inadequate, since it fails to reveal all the consequences and possibilities which once appreciated, would demonstrate India's true contribution to the history of Philosophy in general. Hence the present study endeavours to trace one problem - that of the Nature of Consciousness through the pre-systematic and systematic times, and sets forth and estimates the respective views of the leading schools of thought on this problem. By a critical examination of divergent views on consciousness, it is maintained that consciousness cannot be either a product of unconscious substances, or a 'guna' or 'Karma' of the Atman, as held by the materialists, the realists, and the semi-idealists, like Prabhakara and Ramanuja. It is the very 'svarupa' or the indestructible essence of the Atman, and ultimately, the two terms 'self' and 'consciousness' are synonymous. Consciousness exists independently and unconditionally as the basic postulate of all knowledge and experience. Epistemologioally, consciousness is unique, 'anyad-eva' in as much as it is self-cognised without being an object of cognition. 'svaprakasa'. It is directly and immediately intuited by 'aparoksajnAna'. Psychologically, by a study of the problems of self-consciousness, it is revealed that, the usual distinctions within consciousness, of the knower and the known presuppose the reality of a higher and distinctionless consciousness which is devoid both of object-consciousness and ego- consciousness. This ultimate and undifferentiated consciousness persists undestroyed also in deep sleep. Transcendentally, an unchanging consciousness as 'saksi' and 'Akarta' is shown to be above experience; it is in contrast with the changing fluctuations of the empirical consciousness. Finally, by an examination of the theories of relationship between the transcendental and the phenomenal consciousness, it is suggested that the logical unsolvability of the problem from the intellectual level makes room for a supra-logical vision of the Truth. In conclusion, the distinctive Hindu peculiarities of these speculations are stressed in contrast with the speculations of the Western Thought.
title: Samuel Ajayi Crowther, the Church Missionary Society, and the Niger Mission, 1857-1891.
Creators: name: Loiello, John Peter
Publisher: name: SOAS University of London
Year: 1980

description: The career of Samuel Ajayi Crowther stands as one of the most dramatic and compelling narratives of nineteenth century Africa. Crowther was a pivotal figure in his time and in missionary affairs long afterwards. He played many roles: teacher and missionary, linguist and translator, explorer and commercial promoter, diplomatist and proto-nationalist. His African-staffed and African-led Niger Mission remains one of the most significant and intriguing experiments of its day. The Church Missionary Society, fostered in the Humanitarian age, progressed during Crowther's life from a single Committee directed by a small Secretariat to a world-wide organization, influenced by the New Evangelicalism and Social Darwinism.;Branded by some scholars as a failure, the Niger Mission was yet marked by considerable success. Crowther's formative years underscore the uniqueness of his experience and highlight his uncommon ability, intelligence, and common sense. His crucial relationship with Henry Venn formed his career and gave him unparalleled latitude in his work. He demonstrated leadership, ingenuity, and sound mission strategy in founding and establishing his Mission. He dispelled stereotypic views of Africans and helped win acceptance for the concept of African agency. He attempted to smooth the wrinkles of a Niger Bishopric which had been formulated in haste and compromise. His notable achievements in expanding missionary operations and moving towards self-support in his Mission were matched by his considerable diplomatic skills as quasi-Consul on the Niger and in other duties which he performed for the Colonial Administration. His most serious weaknesses lay in his inability to develop an indigenous clergy and probably his remaining too long at the helm. But developments at the C.M.S. and in British missionary and Church circles also profoundly affected the course of his career and that of his Mission. Diverse and complex factors led to the Niger Crisis, in which Crowther was both participant and focal point. He died in the midst of the Crisis, his achievements and contributions lost or clouded in the aftermath.

description:
Background Social isolation and loneliness have detrimental impacts on health, especially for older adults. During the COVID-19 pandemic, physical access to third places (e.g., coffee shops, libraries) decreased due to the closure of non-essential destinations and personal risk assessments. Older adults reported adopting information and communication technology (ICT) during pandemic lockdowns. ICT-mediated socializing may have different impacts on loneliness than in-person equivalents. Understanding access to social connection and their distinct relationships to the built environment and health for older Chinese migrants is critical to supporting equitable, healthy aging in a post-COVID world. Methods Using a survey of older Chinese migrants in the Greater Toronto Area (GTA) during the extended COVID-19 lockdown, we investigate how community mobility and ICT use, two mechanisms of socializing, relate to the built environment and influence loneliness (De Jong Gierveld 6-item scale), as well as mental and physical health (SF-12). Specifically, we use a structural equation model to test a theoretical framework of older adult social isolation. Results Our model demonstrates the importance of community mobility for reducing feelings of loneliness, while ICT use is significantly related to better physical health. Both community mobility and ICT use have significant, although opposite, relationships to transit density. Conclusions Results indicate that ICT use might have limited ability to reduce loneliness and support mental health when mobility is limited. Addressing older migrants’ barriers to community mobility is critical to reducing feelings of loneliness.

title: Baji Rao II.
Creators: name: Gupta, Pratul Chandra
Publisher: name: SOAS University of London
Year: 1936

description: After the short administration of Chimnaji Appa, Baji Rao became the Peshwa. He suppressed the "rebellion" of the Raja of Satara, and sent an army to check the depredations of the Raja of Kolhapur. He was always reluctant to accept the Subsidiary Alliance, but was driven to it, when Holkar invaded Poona in October, 1802. Baji Rao was restored by the British Government. During Lord Minto's administration, a settlement was effected between the Peshwa and the Southern Jagirdars. A treaty was also signed between the Peshwa, the British Government and the Raja of Kolhapur. Baji Rao asked the British Government to settle some claims he had on the Gaekwar. Bapu Mairal's attempt to settle the Peshwa's demands failed. Gangadhar Shastri who was sent from Baroda for this purpose, was murdered at Pandharpur. Elphinstone accused Trimbakji, but there are reasons for supposing that the real responsibility for the murder lay at the Gaekwar's court. Trimbakji was arrested, but he escaped. A letter, published by Mr. Sardesai, which is said to explain the mystery of Trimbakji's escape, can not be relied upon. Baji Rao negotiated with Trimbakji, but was threatened to submission and forced to sign the Treaty of Poona. Baji Rao then tried to build up a confederacy against the British Government and declared war. He was repeatedly defeated and forced to surrender. The terms granted to him by Malcolm was considered too lenient and unsafe by the Governor- General. But Elphinstone and Munro shared Malcolm's views. Baji Kao retired to Bithur, where he died.

Creators: name: Vanshi, Yadu
Publisher: name: SOAS University of London
Year: 1938

description: The introduction summarises the opinions of various scholars upon Saivism and attempts made to explain its character and development. In Chapter I the survey is begun from the earliest Vedic period with an examination of the character of the Vedic Rudra and his worship in the Samhitas and the Brahmanas. In Chapter II and attempt is made to explain the origin of some important features of later Saivism in the light of the discoveries in the Indus Valley and adjacent regions. In Chapter III the survey is resumed with the examination of the later Vedic literature, and is brought to the end of the Vedic period. In Chapter IV the beginning of post-Vedic Saivism is noticed from the evidence of the epics supplemented by that of lot other comtemporary records. In Chapter V the records of the early Christian era are examined and then the puranas are taken up, in which the full development of the Saiva cult is seen. The rise of the worship of Ganesa is noticed, and also the rise of Saktism as seen in the Tantras. In Chapter VI the further history of Saivism in the post Pauranic period is given. The relation of Saivism with other creeds, especially in the south, is noticed. The development of sub-sects within Saivism is described, and a brief reference is made to the further development of the cults of Ganesa and Sakti. In Chapter VII a brief account is given of the development of Saiva philosophy. In Chapter VIII a brief survey is made of Saivism outside India, with special reference to Indo-China and the East Archipelago.

Creators: name: Pe, Hla

Year: 1944

description: The thesis consists of (a) translation into English of the second and enlarged edition of a Burmese play - the Konmara Pyazat - by U Pok Ni, published In Rangoon 1879; (b) an introduction dealing with the history of the Burmese drama, the style and literary merits of the popular plays of the period and the social conditions of British Burma as reflected in the plays; (c) annotation in which explanations of difficulties are given and illustrated by quotations from contemporary plays and other literary as well as technical works; and literary and other allusions traced; (d) Appendices and Bibliography. The plays, written in the '70s and '80s of last century, were the first form of popular literature which had been composed in Burma. But they were written in a style influenced by the language of poetry and by the traditional idiom of the stage. Though of such recent date, they present many obscurities to s modem reader. One of the objects of this thesis is to remove these obscurities by a closer examination of the meaning of words and their functions in the phrase than has hitherto been attempted. Another is to show that the popular drama has a serious claim on the attention of the present day reader in the vigour of its language and the interest of plot and character, against the prevalent opinion which refuses to give it any place in Burmese literature.

The Mythographic Context of Shaw's Pygmalion
Creators: name: Joshua, Essaka
Publisher: name: University of Notre Dame
Year: 2020

description: Observes that George Bernard Shaw's play 'Pygmalion' is read in a mythographic context that has generally focused exclusively on its connections to Ovid's version of the myth, contained in 'Metamorphoses.' Argues, borrowing from the theories of Lévi-Strauss, that alternative versions of the Pygmalion myth should be studied, as mythic tales are not 'static,' but constantly refined through retellings. Explains the use of 'contextualisation' in the article, finding that the disparity between Ovid and Shaw is too great to allow one to provide context for the other. Examines alternate versions of the story and discusses how actors' interpretations of Galatea and Pygmalion change the effect of the play, citing several performances and critical responses.

Year: 1942

description: In the economic development of medieval Mesopotamia, the 10th century was a decisive period, in addition to the process of evolution, the foreign domination of the Buwaihids opened the door to manifold changes and innovations. For the first time, the fief system was militarized; uncanonical taxes multiplied; currency depreciation was resorted to as a financial expedient; banking reached full development; an influential capitalist class came into prominence; and the Labour Movement was organized. This branch of Arabic history has been least studied; and this work is an attempt to throw some light on a complex life in an obscure, yet important period.
title: Dynastic history of Northern India (c. 915 to 1196 A.D.).
Creators: name: Ray, Hem Chandra
Publisher: name: SOAS University of London
Year: 1929

description: In about 900 A.D. the empire of the Gurjaras embraced a very large portion of Northern India. It spread roughly over the triangle of which the line from Karnal to Kathiawad was the base and Paharpur in North- Bengal the apex. The shock of the Rastrakuta invasion in c. 915 A.D. proved so disastrous to the stability of the Gurjara - empire that by the middle of the 10th century the outlying provinces were already breaking away from the imperial sway. Prom this time down to the completion of the Muslim conquest of the Madhyadesa in about 1196 A.D. the whole of Northern India was ruled by numerous dynasties who struggled continuously for the crown which fell down from the head of the Kanauj emperor. Perhaps in time some of them like their predecessors the Guptas of Magadha, the Pusyabhutis of Sthanvisvara or the Gurjara-Pratiharas of Malava, would have in the end succeeced in compelling the other powers to acknowledge their hegemony. But unfortunately for them before the process of adjustment was complete the Turks, this time carrying the Muslim flag, appeared on the portals of North-Western India, In the struggle that followed the dynasties were gradually conquered by the Turks from their bases In the Madyadesa fell into their hands after the fall of the Cahamanas and the Gahadavalas. The history of this period transition lacks so far as its political side is concerned any central theme. It is largely the history of separate unite whose only political contact with their neighbours was when they fought with each other or combined to destroy a hated and powerful rival. The study of their history and their conquest by the Muslims has never been satisfactorily undertaken, though its importance is obvious. In the present work an attempt has been made to present a full account of the dynasties of this period on sound epigraphic foundations with the assistance wherever available of reliable Hindu and Muslim literary records. It is an attempt to try to bridge the gulf that has so long separated the treatment of the Hindu and Muslim periods Indian History. The present volume only treats of the political side of the history of the dynasties. In the second volume, I hope to deal fully with the Administrative, Economic, Social, Religious, and other important questions of the period. A thorough analysis of these facts may reveal important links hitherto unknown between the Hindu and the so called Muslim period of Indian History. It would certainly help us to judge how far if at all the Turkish and Afgan rulers borrowed their social or economic systems or their methods of administration from their Hindu predecessors.

description:
BACKGROUND: Although COVID-19 is predominantly a respiratory tract infection, current antibody treatments are administered by systemic dosing. We hypothesize that inhaled delivery of a monoclonal antibody may be a more effective and convenient route. We investigated the safety, tolerability, and pharmacokinetics of IN-006, a reformulation of regdanvimab for nebulized delivery by a handheld nebulizer. METHODS: A Phase 1 study was conducted in healthy volunteers aged 18-55 a Phase 1 unit in Melbourne, Australia (ACTRN12621001235897). Study staff and participants were blinded to treatment assignment, except for pharmacy staff preparing the study drug. The ratio of active:placebo randomization to each cohort was set at 3:1. The primary outcomes were safety and tolerability. Exploratory outcomes were pharmacokinetics of IN-006 in nasal fluid and serum. FINDINGS: Twenty-three participants were enrolled and randomized across two single dose and one multiple dose cohorts (30 mg or 90 mg single nebulized dose, or seven daily 90 mg doses). There were no serious adverse events. All enrolled participants completed the study without treatment interruption or discontinuation. All treatment-emergent adverse events were transient, non-dose dependent, and graded mild to moderate in severity. Nebulization was well-tolerated and completed in an average of 6 min. Geometric mean nasal fluid concentrations of IN-006 in the multiple dose cohort were 739.8 μg/mL at 30 min after dosing and 1.2 μg/mL at 22 h. Geometric mean serum levels in the multiple dose cohort peaked at 0.51 μg/mL 3 days after the final dose. INTERPRETATION: IN-006 was well-tolerated and achieved concentrations in the respiratory tract orders of magnitude above the IC50 range typical of antiviral mAbs. These data support further development of nebulized delivery of antiviral mAbs for respiratory infectious disease. FUNDING: This work was funded by the U.S. Army Medical Research and Development Command (W81XWH-15-9-0001) and regdanvimab was provided by Celltrion, Inc.

title: The life and works of Amir Khusrau.
Creators: name: Mirza, Muhammad Wahid
Publisher: name: SOAS University of London
Year: 1929

description: Khusrau was born in Patyali, a small town (otherwise known as Muminabad) in the district of Etah in 651 A.H./1253 A.D. He belonged to the Turkish Hazaras of Lachin who migrated to India during the time of the Mongol upheaval from their ancestral home in Transoxiana or Khorasan. His father, Amir Saifuddin Mahmud, held a high position in the court of Iltutmish and married a daughter of Imad-ul-Mulk, a great noble of the time. Khusrau was the second of three sons born of this union and displayed very early signs of a great poetic talent. After his father's death, about the year 658 H. he was brought up by his grand-father Imad-ul-Mulk. When his grandfather died Khusrau attached himself to Ala'uddin Kish-lu Khan, a nephew of Balban and a great noble, famed far and wide for his generosity. Later he went to Saman with Balban's son Bughre Khan and had to travel with that prince to Oudh where Balban marched to quell a rebellion. On his return he was invited by Frince Muhammad. Bughra Khan's elder brother, to go to Multan with him. The Poet consented and remained in Multan till the prince's death in a battle against the Mongols. He then returned to Delhi and went later to Oudh with Amir Ali Sarjandar. Subsequently he was made a court poet by Kaikobad and held office under Jalaluddin, Ala'uddin, Mubarak Shah, and Ghiyathuddin Tughlaq. He became a disciple of Nizamuddin Auliys in his later life and died in the year 725 H./1325 A.D. His poetical and prose works consist of five diwans, five historical mathnawis, a Khamsa, some Hindi verses, Tarikhi-'Alai, Ij'az-i-Khusravi and Afzal-ul-Fawaid. Some works ascribed to him have apparently been lost. He was a great musician too, and introduced several new melodies into Indian music, earning for himself the title of Nayak.

description: Cappell-Shaneson homotopy 4-spheres (CS spheres) are potential counterexamples of the smooth 4-dimensional Poincaré conjecture. Akbulut proved that infinite CS spheres are diffeomorphic to the standard 4-sphere by Kirby calculus. Kim and Yamada found another family of CS spheres which is composed of standard CS spheres. In this paper, we prove more CS spheres are standard. We give 145 new infinite families of CS spheres which are diffeomorphic to the standard 4-sphere.

title: The history of the Paramara Dynasty in Malava, Arthuna and Chandravati.
Creators: name: Ganguly, D. C.
Publisher: name: SOAS University of London
Year: 1930

description: After the collapse of the imperial power of the Guptas, Northern India was split up into a number of independent states. They were governed by numerous ruling dynasties till they were conquered by the Moslems In the latter part of the thirteenth century A.D. The history of India of this period, as a matter of fact, is the narrative of the rise and fall of these ruling houses. The Paramâras were one of those dynasties, who ruled in Malwa, Arthuna and Chandravati. Upendra, the founder of the family, was a member of the Rastrakuta race. He, with the help of the Râstrakuta Govinda III, established his authority in Malwa, about 810 A.D., by the total expulaion of the Gurjara-Pratihâras. Upendra's son, Dambarasimha, was the founder of the Arthuna branch. The fifth king, siyaka-Harsa, exalted the family to the imperial rank by defeating the Râstrakutas of the Deccan. Since then the family, following the custom of the age, assumed the mythical name Paramâra. Siyaka's son, Munja, was the founder of the Chandravati, Jalor and Bhinmal branches. Munja's nephew, Bhoja, was well known for his military success and literary achievements. The Paramâras lost their political power in the early years of the fourteenth century A.D. During their magnificent rule, Malwa rose to the acme of its glory, being enriched by literatures and adorned by beautiful temples and lakes.
title: The relationship between the monastic and lay communities in Ayutthaya, Central Thailand.
Creators: name: Bramley, Jane
Publisher: name: SOAS University of London
Year: 1969

description: It is assumed by many anthropologists that the tenets of Therevada Buddhism are interpreted in an unaltered form by its adherents. I suggest, however, that practical compromises are made, and it is my purpose in the present thesis to describe and to analyze some of the differences which exist between the Word of the Buddha as it is expressed in the Scriptures, and as it is implemented on the ground.;Although there is a broad general consensus as to what the practice of Theravada Buddhism entails it became clear from my study of the relationship existing between the monks and laymen of Ayutthaya (Central Thailand) that an individual's socio-economic circumstances affect his religious behaviour to a significant degree.;Furthermore, an examination of the relationships which existed within the monastic and lay communities respectively made it possible to assess the repercussions of the practice of Theravada Buddhism in the wider social context. I contend that the practical implementation of the Word of the Buddha, far from tending to loosen links between individual actors as is often maintained, does on the contrary serve to promote greater social cohesion. The loosely-structured (Embree 1950) or very fluid nature of Thai society is better explained with reference to certain political and economic peculiarities of the situation.;I begin my analysis of the issues outlined above by examining the role of the Buddhist monk, its attributes its function for the lay community, and its appeal for individuals from different social strata. In the second place I describe and analyze the relationship existing between the monastic community as a whole and the laymen who support it. Finally, I look at the problems with which this thesis is concerned, from the layman's point of view, by examining not only his links with the Order of Monks, but also those with friends and relatives in the lay community which are activated in the connection with religious affairs.;Although this thesis is primarily intended to provide a contribution on both descriptive and analytical levels to the study of society in Thailand, it is possible that some of the conclusions reached are applicable to other societies where Theravada Buddhism is practised.

Cosmological constant of GRT as a radial function in dependence of velocity                                   -    A short notice -

description: Under special circumstances cosmological „constant“ of GRT can be formulated as a function in dependence of radial term. This calculation will be shown. In fact this system of physical ideas is now described only for local state of Schwarzschild-lineelement with cosmological variable but it can be easily developed to cosmic terms.
title: The Nigerian oil industry: Its development and economic significance.
Creators: name: Madujibeya, Sylvanus Azuwueze
Publisher: name: SOAS University of London
Year: 1968

description: It was early in this century that some interested companies and individuals from Britain came to search for oil and other minerals in what was then the Colony and Protectorate of Southern Nigeria. A great deal has happened since those early days: oil has "been discovered in very considerable quantities and significant progress has been made in the development of production. But, to the best of our knowledge, no detailed and comprehensive study of the development of this important industry and its implications for the Nigerian economy has so far been made. The present study is an attempt to fill this important gap. The first two chapters are historical; the first reviews the history of oil exploration in Nigeria from the turn of the century to the discovery of the first commercial oilfield, while the second takes the story up to 1966. The next four chapters consist of an examination of supply and price, including an estimate of development-operating cost. Chapter Seven examines the petroleum policy of the Federal Government and is followed in Chapter Eight by a discussion of the impact of oil operations on the local economy. Needless to say that because of the international character of the oil industry many of the subjects covered in the study have been treated in their international context. Apart from considerations of the interests of the producing country, a regional study such as this is, in our view, also important from the point of view of the oil industry as a whole. Given the structure and organization of the industry, the discovery of important new sources of oil is of great international significance because of the potential effects of the new sources on established patterns of production and trade, and on pricing arrangements - subjects which are of great interest to students of the industry.;SPECIAL NOTE One of the ultimate consequences of the tragic events in Nigeria in the second half of 1966 was that on May 30, 1967, the Eastern Region - the source of a preponderant proportion of the country's oil resources - seceded from the Federation to become the REPUBLIC OF BIAFRA. By the time this event took place the bulk of the research work for this study, and much of the writing, had already been done. (The completion of the final manuscript was however delayed by a number of difficult problems, among which was the discontinuation of my research grant by the Nigerian Military Government). Consequently, and because the study has in the main been carried up to the end of 1966, no account has been taken of political developments in the Federation after 1966. Also, we have not discussed the effects on, or the implications for, the oil industry of the Nigeria/Biafra conflict. However, it is our fervent hope that the study will still be of some use to the various governments and interested parties when this futile war is over.
