title: The making of a 'community': An anthropological study among the Puyuma of Taiwan.
Creators: name: Chen, Wen-te
Publisher: name: SOAS University of London
Year: 1998

description: This thesis has two primary purposes. Firstly, by focusing on the issue of 'community', it provides a detailed ethnographic account of a Puyuma settlement in Taiwan. Particular emphasis is laid upon investigating comprehensively the interrelationships among social spheres (e.g. household, age orgeinization, rites, and so on) which previous analyses have dealt with separately. Secondly, this thesis problematizes various past and current theoretical approaches to 'community', 'village', 'village- community', and other close equivalents in the anthropological literature. It argues that anthropologists should adopt an alternative conceptualization of 'community'. The thesis opens with a review of key anthropological discourse on 'community' in which it is argued that the significance of indigenous conceptualizations has largely been overlooked both by those adopting the 'writing culture' genre and by those stressing the 'global-local' dimension. Against the background of Taiwan's changing historical context, I explore how the notion of Puyuma 'community' can be seen as the moving resultant of the interplay of administrative imposition and indigenous (re-) appropriation. Thereafter I examine the interrelationships of house (rumah), household, and ritual house (karumaan), and their centrality for the Puyuma. The process of becoming a Puyuma, it is argued, now has come to involve a mutual conjunction of kinship and age organization. In Chapter 6, I analyze the changed alignment between 'community' leadership and karumaan identity, whilst Chapter 7 examines how indigenous senses of 'community' have been ritually defined. The implication of 'new' religious factionalism (Han-Chinese, Catholic, and Presbyterian) for the contested construction of a 'community' provides the substance of my penultimate chapter. By way of conclusion, I reiterate the significance of this study for comparative Southeast Asian studies- which have mostly ignored Taiwan's aboriginal population- and the wider theoretical implications for the way in which anthropology, as a discipline, constructs 'community'.

title: Defiance and compliance : Negotiating gender in low-income Cairo.
Creators: name: El-Kholy, Heba Aziz
Publisher: name: SOAS University of London
Year: 1998

description: This thesis explores how low-income women in Cairo respond to gender inequalities in their daily lives, both in the household and in the informal labour market. The aim is to generate knowledge about the diversity of gender relations and ideologies in the Egyptian context and to contribute to broader theoretical debates regarding gender and resistance, with a view to informing both policy and feminist activism. The thesis argues that a modified concept of "everyday forms of resistance" provides a way forward for a more nuanced and contextualized understanding of women's responses to their positions of relative subordination, than do either Marxist approaches to power and consciousness, or the a-historical usage of the notion of patriarchy. The study is based on participant observation and in-depth interviews in four low-income neighbourhoods in Cairo over a period of 15 months. Within the household, research focused on four specific arrangements: pre-marital expectations, marriage negotiations, sexuality, and intra-household decision making. With the labour market, two types of women's work were explored; home-based piece-work, and waged work in small-scale workshops. The links between women's options in workplace and in the household were examined. Results of this exploratory study show that women's perceptions and responses are varied, complex, contradictory and in continuous flux as they interact with broader socio-economic conjunctures. Women displayed both defiance and compliance, both a lack of articulated awareness of their self-interest, and high levels of awareness of some of the injustices against them as women. Sometimes, their actions were pragmatic seeking immediate relief. At other times, they sought more medium or longer-term gains. In some instances, they acted individually and covertly and at other times they acted collectively and articulated their discontent forcefully. Any single conclusion about women's agency would thus be erroneous. Attempts to advance women's interests are also bound to be varied and complex.
title: English in the colonial university and the politics of language : The emergence of a public sphere in western India (1830-1880).
Creators: name: Naregal, Veena
Publisher: name: SOAS University of London
Year: 1998

description: The introduction of English as 'high' language and the designs to reshape the 'native vernaculars' under its influence through colonial educational policy altered the universe of communicative and cultural practices on the subcontinent. Colonial bilingualism also introduced hierachical and ideological divisions between the newly-educated and 'illiterate', 'English-knowing' and 'vernacular-speaking' sections of native society. On the basis of an analysis of the possibilities for a laicised literate order opened up through the severely elitist project of colonial education, the thesis proposes an argument about the structural links between these crucial cultural shifts and the strategies adopted by the colonial intelligentsia in western India to achieve a hegemonic position. The main argument of my thesis is set against a discussion of the relations between linguistic hierarchies, textual practices and power in precolonial western India. My thesis is a study of the bilingual relation between English and Marathi and it traces the hierarchical relation between the English and vernacular spheres in the Bombay-Pune region between 1830-1880. The initiatives to establish the first native Marathi newspaper, the Bombay Durpan. a bilingual weekly, in 1832 signified the beginning of the intelligentsia's efforts to disseminate the new discourses among wider audiences and to establish a sphere of critical exchange through the vernacular. Later attempts, from the 1860s onwards, to aestheticise vernacular discourse by creating 'high' 'modern' literary forms were undoubtedly important in enhancing the intelligentsia's hegemonic claims, but they also corresponded with crucial shifts in their self-perception and their ideological orientation. The emergence of Kesari and the Maratha in early 1881 indicated that the bilingual relation that structured the colonial-modern public sphere had, by this time, yielded two separate, largely monolingual literate communities within native society. Concomitantly, by the early 1880s, the upper-caste intelligentsia had renounced even the minimal scope that had existed for them to act as agents for a more egalitarian cultural and social order. In analysing the conditions under which the colonial intelligentsia in western India were able to achieve a position of ideological influence, the thesis also aims to raise questions about the displacement of the meanings and spaces for hegemonic articulation within colonial modernity.

title: The politics of development and identity in the Jharkhand region of Bihar (India), 1951-91.
Creators: name: Prakash, Amit
Publisher: name: SOAS University of London
Year: 1998

description: This is a study of the process by which public policy implementation influences the crystallisation of political identities premised on ethnic, lingual, religious or other similar grounds. It argues that the failure of development policy to intervene in socio-economic conditions encourages societal groups to articulate themselves as political identities. The Jharkhand movement in south Bihar has been studied to substantiate the theoretical formulations. After briefly outlining the historical roots of the Jharkhand movement, the study locates the tribal policy of the colonial and post-colonial Indian state in the dynamics of the colonial and nationalist discourses. The thesis then focuses on the changing development profile of the Jharkhand region and correlates it to the fluctuating electoral support for Jharkhand political formations. This correlation has been studied with the help of a Modified Resource Dependence Model (Echeverri-Gent, 1993). This model argues that both the State and the societal groups control resources which are vital to the other. As the State in India controls a vast array of resources, disadvantaged societal groups articulate themselves as a self-conscious ethnic identity in order to augment their political resources and influence the policy process in their own favour. The case of Jharkhandi identity and the movement around it is one example of such articulation of a politically significant self-conscious identity in order to gain a better bargaining power. To a certain extent, it has been successful in influencing the State's response in terms of securing a development council for the area. The Jharkhandi identity, in turn, has been shaped by the response of the policy machinery to local needs and demands. This two-way interaction between the State and the Jharkhandi identity has also significantly altered the character of the identity itself. The 'politics of development and identity' thus born has been discussed and changing approaches of the various political parties towards the Jharkhandi identity and its demand for autonomy have been analysed.
title: Charity, relief and development: Christian Aid in Ethiopia, 1960s-1990s.
Creators: name: Barrow, Ondine
Publisher: name: SOAS University of London
Year: 1998

description: This thesis is about a charity, Christian Aid (CA) and the experience of that charity working in Ethiopia over three decades. The thesis looks at the evolving capabilities of CA in the world of relief and development. It asks whether CA has learned anything from its experience. The study looks at CA from the beginning of the 1960s through major famines and through a process by which charities have grown from small apolitical organisations to prominent political players, both in the southern countries where they work, and in the northern countries where they undertake publicity, lobby and advocacy. With changing priorities and demands on aid, practical experience on its own, has not been enough to ensure a coherent institutional response. There is a significant danger that CA has not had time to reflect on what has happened. This thesis provides an institutional memory, a historical reflection on CA's own development. The thesis sets CA in the context of development in general and Ethiopia in particular. It looks at the charity as an organisation, at its evolution and positioning within the broader institutional and theoretical setting. It explores the different levels of policy and concern within the organisation. The various paradigm shifts in development policy over the past 30 years are examined, setting up debates that had real meaning for the charity around a set of specific policy concerns in Ethiopia. The main body of analysis focuses on CA's performance in Ethiopia. The charity's experience of famine in the mid-1970s and mid-1980s is explored and its response analysed. How CA articulated development policies in Ethiopia from the late 1980s is examined. Throughout, the focus is on how CA has positioned its mandate, how theory related to practice and how the experiences of the past have informed the present.
Taxonomic remarks on Agrochola wolfschlaegeri Boursin, 1953 (sp. rev.) (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae)
Creators: name: Zilli, Alberto

description: Concerning the taxonomic confusion which has occurred between Agrochola kindermanni (Fischer von Röslerstamm, [1837]) and A. wolfschlaegeri Boursin, 1953, formal and biological ratio- nale for maintaining the situation as established by the first reviser (C. Boursin) is put forward; accordingly the name Agrochola wolfschlaegeri Boursin, 1953 (sp. rev.) is resurrected and Agrochola consueta (Herrich-Schäffer, [1852]) is synonymised with Agrochola kindermanni (Fischer von Röslerstamm, [1837]) (syn. rev.).

As the Sicilian populations of A. wolfschlaegeri, described as Agrochola kindermanni sicula Bischof & Bittermann, 1996, are shown not to be sufficiently distinct from the nominate subspecies, Agrochola kindermanni sicula Bischof & Bittermann, 1996 is synonymised with A. wolfsch- laegeri Boursin, 1953 (syn. nov.).

Key words: Noctuidae, taxonomy, new synonymy, Sicily, Agrochola kindermanni, A. wolfsch- laegeri.

CONSIDERAZIONI TASSONOMICHE SU AGROCHOLA WOLFSCHLAEGERI BOURSIN, 1953 (SP. REV.) (LEPIDOPTERA: NOCTUIDAE)

Con riferimento alla confusione tassonomica determinatasi tra Agrochola kindermanni (Fischer von Röslerstamm, [1837]) e A. wolfschlaegeri Boursin, 1953, nel lavoro viene ristabilita la nomen- clatura originariamente definita dal primo revisore del gruppo (C. BOURSIN) sulla base di motiva- zioni formali e di considerazioni biologiche. Viene pertanto ripristinato il nome Agrochola wolf- schlaegeri Boursin, 1953 (sp. rev.), mentre Agrochola consueta (Herrich-Schäffer, [1852]) rientra nella sinonimia di Agrochola kindermanni (Fischer von Röslerstamm, [1837]) (syn. rev.).

Poiché viene dimostrato che le popolazioni siciliane di A. wolfschlaegeri, descritte come “Agrochola kindermanni sicula” Bischof & Bittermann, 1996, non sono sufficientemente distinte da quelle della forma nominale, il nome Agrochola kindermanni sicula Bischof & Bittermann, 1996 viene sinonimizzato con Agrochola wolfschlaegeri Boursin, 1953 (syn. nov.).

description: OVIPOSITION OF CAPNODIS TENEBRIONIS (L.) (COLEOPTERA: BUPRESTIDAE)

The author studied the egg-laying of the buprestid Capnodis tenebrionis (L.) (Coleoptera) from 1996 to 1998. The adults were reared mainly with apricot branches at field conditions. The oviposition took place mainly during the summertime starting from the second half of June and ending in the first decade of September. The maximum egg-laying (about 80% of the total eggs laid during the year) was detected in about one month: in 1996 and 1998 it was observed from late July to late August; in 1997 it was from late June to late July. In 1998 the fertility was higher than the former years both in the average (548,5 eggs per female against about 230 in 1996 and 1997) and absolute values (1,536 eggs laid in 1998 by a single female against about 670 in 1996 and 1997). It could be explained by the fact that the average temperature during the maximum egg- laying period in 1998 was distinctively higher than in 1996 and 1997. In 1996 the eggs were found also with a maximum temperature under 25°C.

Key words: Prunus armeniaca L., P. avium L., P. domestica L., P. persica (L.), apricot, cherry, peach, plum, pest.

Nel triennio 1996-1998 è stato eseguito uno studio sull’ovideposizione di Capnodis tenebrionis (L.) (Coleoptera: Buprestidae). Le osservazioni sono state condotte su un allevamento tenuto a temperatura ambiente in locali ombreggiati.

L’ovideposizione è cominciata nella seconda metà di giugno per finire nella prima decade di settembre, per un periodo di 78-86 giorni. L’80% delle uova è stato concentrato in circa un mese tra fine luglio e fine agosto nel 1996 e 1998, tra fine giugno e fine luglio nel 1997. La fertilità media per femmina è stata simile nel 1996 e 1997 (circa 230 uova per femmina), mentre nel 1998 è stata più elevata (548,5 uova per femmina). Nel 1998 la femmina più prolifica ha deposto 1.536 uova contro le 683 del 1996 e le 664 del 1997. La maggiore fertilità del 1998 è coincisa con un livello termico di circa 2°C superiore rispetto agli anni 1996-1997. Nel 1996 sono state raccolte uova anche quando la temperatura massima è stata inferiore a 25°C.

title: The Jordanian novel (1980-1990) : A study and an assessment.
Creators: name: Salameh, Fahd
Publisher: name: SOAS University of London
Year: 1998

description: This study traces the origin and development of the Jordanian novel from 1920s to late 1980s, and consists of three parts in addition to the introduction and conclusion. The introduction covers the rationale for undertaking such a study as well as the methodology and critical perspective adopted in this thesis. It also includes some basic definitions relevant to the work itself The first part comprises two chapters. The first covers an historical survey describing the genealogy of the Jordanian novel, the different stages of its development and the major discernible, trends up to 1970s. The second chapter examines the works of Ghalib Halasa produced during 1970s until his death in 1989, which are considered important contributions to the novel in Jordan. The second part, which comprises two chapters, deals with the experimental trends during 1980s up to 1990. The first of these considers the works of Mu'nis al-Razzaz in detail, shedding light on the experimentation in the techniques and the form of the novel. The second of these takes Elias Farkouh's work Qamat al- Zabad as another attempt to explore new forms of composition and narration. The third part presents the Jordanian novel produced in the conventional form with special reference to a particular work by Ziyad Qasim, who stands out among his contemporaries in his artistic achievements. In the conclusion, a general evaluation of the Jordanian novel of 1980s is given. It is concluded therein that the experimental novelists, such as Mu'nis al-Razzaz an Elias Farkouh, influenced the subsequent generation more profoundly than any other leading novelists of that period.

description: A PRELIMINARY NOTE ON THE PRESENCE OF HAEMATOPHAGOUS CERATOPOGONIDS (DIPTERA) IN APULIA AND BASILICATA (SOUTHERN ITALY)

Adults of Culicoides and Leptoconops were collected in several localities of Southern Italy, either by direct capture on human skin or by net. Attractiveness of chromotropic traps was tested. Leptoconops is the most frequent genus, whose presence from April to August, includes an out-

break in June-July, even in some localities of touristic interest. Culicoides specimens were also captured from April to August, although in moderate number everywhere.

Salt marshes and river shores were identified as breeding sites. Other localities are submitted to minor presence of ceratopogonids, due to adults possibly transported by wind.

Chromotropic traps did capture both Culicoides and Leptoconops. White traps exhibited a major attractiveness to Leptoconops, when compared with the blue traps.

Key words: ceratopogonids, ecology, monitorings, chromotropic traps.

Si riportano dati sulla presenza di ditteri ceratopogonidi dei generi Leptoconops e Culicoides in Sud Italia, ottenuti mediante catture al volo e con trappole cromotropiche. Vengono indicate 3 aree di maggior presenza; i focolai di riproduzione sono localizzati presso i ristagni d’acqua sal- mastra o suoli paludosi. Altre zone sono interessate da voli di individui di Leptoconops probabilmente trasportati dal vento.

Le trappole cromotropiche di colore bianco risultano maggiormente attrattive verso i Leptoconops rispetto a quelle azzurre. Nessuna differenza è stata rilevata fra trappole bianche e trappole azzurre nelle catture di Culicoides.

description: BIOLOGICAL AND MORPHOLOGICAL ASPECTS OF CURCULIO (BALANINUS) PROPINQUUS (DESBROCHERS) (COLEOPTERA: CURCULIONIDAE)

At the present there is any information on the biology and morphology of Curculio propinquus (Desbrochers) and incomplete data on the host plants. Observations on this weevil were carried out on different species of Quercus present in Apulia Region (Southern Italy). Adults and larvae of C. propinquus feed on the acorns but the most harmful ones are the larvae which can destroy up to 100% of fruits of some Oak plants. In the woods of Q. trojana and Q. pubescens, the first species is the most damaged and between Q. frainetto and Q. cerris, the acorns of the first one are the most attached. In laboratory they also develop in chestnuts of Castanea sativa Miller.

The natural enemis are rare and, so far, only two have been found: Scambus calobatus (Gravenhorst) (Hymenoptera: Ichneumonidae) and the fungus Metarhizium anisopliae Metch. (Deuteromycotina: Hyphomycetes). Formica fusca L. (Hymenoptera: Formicidae) is an active pre- dator of the last instar of the B. propinquus larvae.

Key words: male genitalia, last instar larva morphology, biology, ethology.

title: Contesting seclusion : The political emergence of Muslim women in Bhopal, 1901-1930.
Creators: name: Lambert Hurley, S.
Publisher: name: SOAS University of London
Year: 1998

description: This study examines the emergence of Indian Muslim women as politicians and social reformers in the early years of the twentieth century by focussing on the state of Bhopal, a small Muslim principality in Central India, which was ruled by a succession of female rulers throughout the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. The last Begam of Bhopal, Nawab Sultan Jahan Begam (1858-1930, r. 1901-1926), emerges as the main figure in this history, though a substantial effort has also been made to examine the activities of other Bhopali women, whether poor, privileged or princely. Special significance has been attached to their changing attitudes to class, gender and communal identities, using the veil as a metaphor for women's expanding concerns. Their connections with wider movements of social reform have also been emphasized in an attempt to show that the emergence of women in Bhopal was representative of a broader development occurring amongst Muslim women, both within India and throughout the Islamic world. The importance of this study lies in its treatment of the 'daughters of reform,' the first generation of Muslim women who contributed to the reformist discourse, particularly at the regional level, as complex subjects in possession of a history. It is also significant in that it redresses the paucity of academic literature on the princely states of India, highlighting the differences between states and the changes that occurred over time, rather than simply dismissing the princes as frivolous reminders of a by-gone age. The main theme that arises is the importance for early Muslim female activists of balancing continuity and innovation. By operating within the framework of Islam, Bhopali women were able to build on traditional norms in order to introduce incremental change. As many of their achievements were unforseen, however, their story is as much one of paradox, as of progress.

description: A study was conducted to evaluate the effects of temperature on the infective efficacy of 3 isolates of Heterorhabditis bacteriophora (IH-C3, IH-C6, IH-C13) associated with green strains of Photorhabdus luminescens (infected larvae of Galleria mellonella L. turn green) in comparison with 3 isolates of H. bacteriophora (IH-ME2, IH-LU1, IH-CE1) associated with red strains of Photorhabdus luminescens (infected larvae turn red).

The percentage of larval mortality was recorded after a 72-h exposure period to the infective juvenile nematodes (Ijs) at various temperatures between 10°C and 35°C, at intervals of 5°C.

For all nematode strains the highest larval mortality was recorded at 25-30°C. The data showed that temperature had a significant influence on host mortality for all H. bacteriophora isolates tested. Strain IH-CE1 showed the highest larval mortality percentage for the range 20-35°C.

There were no significant differences among red and green isolates at the same temperatures except for one case: at 20°C the red isolates were more virulent than green ones.

CONFRONTO DI PATOGENICITÀ TRA CEPPI “ROSSI” E “VERDI” DI HETERORHABDITIS BACTERIOPHORA POINAR 1976 (RHABDITIDA: NEMATODA) IN RELAZIONE ALLA TEMPERATURA.

È stata valutata la patogenicità di 3 isolati Italiani di Heterorhabditis bacteriophora (IH-C3, IH- C6, IH-C13), il cui batterio simbionte Photorhabdus luminescens fa diventare le larve test di colore verde, con 3 isolati di H. bacteriophora (IH-ME2, IH-LU1, IH-CE1) che colorano le larve infe- state di rosso.

I dati sulla mortalità sono stati rilevati 72 ore dopo aver sottoposto larve di Galleria mellonella ad una sospensione acquosa di 1000 Ijs/ml. a 10-15-20-25-30-35 °C.

Per tutti gli isolati il tasso di mortalità più elevato si è verificato tra i 25 e i 30°C. IH-CE1 ha ucciso un maggior numero di larve di G. mellonella tra i 20 e i 35°C. Alle diverse temperature testate non si sono avute differenze significative tra gli “isolati rossi” e quelli “verdi”; soltanto a 20°C gli “isolati rossi” hanno mostrato una maggiore patogenicità nei confronti con gli ” isolati verdi”.

Parole chiave: nematodi entomopatogeni, pineta, oliveto, campo di mais, test di patogenicità.

title: The role of non-competitive multi-party legislative elections in Mubarak's Egypt.
Creators: name: Kassem-Ewea, M.
Publisher: name: SOAS University of London
Year: 1998

description: In this thesis, the role of non-competitive multi-party legislative elections in Mubarak's Egypt is examined. The personalised authoritarian system of rule which was established in Egypt after Nasser and the other Free Officers took power in 1952, is assessed in order to illustrate how it has been preserved for over four decades, not simply as a result of the immense formal powers which Nasser vested in the Presidency, but also as a result of the disparate clientelist strategies adopted by Nasser and his successors, Sadat and Mubarak. Clientelist tactics which further contribute towards inhibiting the development of formal political groupings and thus the possibility of successful challenges to the system of personal authoritarian rule. The role of non-competitive multi-party legislative elections in Mubarak's Egypt, is subsequently examined in this context. Namely as mechanism intended to further hinder the development of political groupings through the reaffirming and expanding of the clientelist structure of dependency and control linking central government to those on the periphery.
title: The glottalic consonants of Hausa.
Creators: name: Haruna, Andrew
Publisher: name: SOAS University of London
Year: 1990

description: This thesis is concerned with the examination of the glottalic consonants of Hausa, a Chadic language spoken in northern Nigeria, Niger, Cameroon, Togo and Ghana. The glottalic consonants constitute a set of phonemes in the language whose historical and phonetic properties merit further investigation. The study is laid out in three parts. Part one (Chapters 1, 2 and 3) is the historical section. Here, a general overview of the Hausa language is given. Also discussed are several specific points made by pioneers of the genetic classification of Chadic within Afroasiatic and the reconstruction of glottalic consonants in both Chadic and Afroasiatic. The discussion here is not new but presents a summary of the literature. Hausa native words that have glottalic consonants are compared with possible cognates from other related Chadic languages from West, Central and East branches of Chadic and also from other Afroasiatic languages. Part two (Chapters 4 and 5) of the study concerns the investigation of phonation types in general. Chapter 4 gives a short account of the larynx, the mechanism of the vocal fold vibration and classification of phonation types. Chapter 5 is devoted to a review of instrumental techniques used in voice measurement. Part three (Chapter 6, the instrumental section) presents and discusses the results of a detailed electro- laryngographic analysis of the activity of the behaviour of the vocal folds in the production of the glottalic consonants and their non-glottalic counterparts as observed in the speech of educated native speakers of the language. The chapter begins with a review of the literature reporting early instrumental and non-instrumental studies of the segmental phonemes of the language. This is followed by a description of the techniques used to record, display and annotate both speech pressure and laryngographic waveforms. Both qualitative and quantitative analysis of the waveforms are presented. The most important parameter in the quantitative analysis is estimated open quotient (OQ) derived from the Lx waveforms measurements of Fundamental Frequency, duration and Voice Onset Time are also given. The chapter concludes by presenting the results of the experiment: 1 OQ increases in anticipation of plain voiceless consonants, and is relatively high at the consonantal release; 2 OQ decreases in anticipation of laryngealized consonants including the glottal stop (for most speakers) and less sharply for the ejectives; 3 OQ remains approximately at the speaker's modal value for the plain voiced consonants; 4 The laryngealized segments tend to lower pitch at the left of the consonant; and 5 They also tend to be longer than their plain counterparts.
title: Structure and performance: A case study of Pakistan's large scale manufacturing industries (1950-1987).
Creators: name: Rauf, Shahnaz

description: The main focus of this thesis is on the measurement of concentration, determinants of levels and changes in concentration, and its effect on the levels and changes in performance in the large scale manufacturing sector in Pakistan at three points of time, 1970, 1978 and 1984. Published census of manufacturing industry data and other sources are utilized to develop estimates of selected variables, covering 41 sectors of production. In this way the thesis is the first of its kind in developing countries that attempts to analyze from a dynamic perspective the structure-performance hypothesis. A subject which was in the past approached only in terms of static analysis. On the basis of the results revealed by this enquiry the thesis argues that the manufacturing sector is dominated by large size establishments. This concentration stems from technological and financial discontinuities prevailing in the sixties. In the subsequent period tight government regulatory policies, public and private investment decisions, were largely instrumental in shaping the structure of manufacturing industries which on balance remained as concentrated as before. A second part of the thesis attempts to find confirmation of the hypothesis that structure affects performance. We find a frail and declining relationship between structure and performance thus there is little support for the argument advanced in earlier studies that structure exerts a strong positive influence on performance. The thesis argues that in the sixties the concentrated oligopolies were able to secure high profits which originated from their power to set prices irrespective of the reductions in the cost of production realized through technological and financial discontinuities. Unlike the sixties, in the subsequent period not only were prices controlled, but also increased cost resulting from internal and external changes squeezed the share of the profit, and smuggling more actively and product differentiation modestly also exercised their influence on the performance of the manufacturing sector. Finally the thesis shows that the relevance of the structure performance model varies from case to case and both the forces of monopoly and efficiency are at work to determine the performance of the manufacturing sector.
title: Agricultural production in six selected qasbas of eastern Rajasthan (c.1700-1780).
Creators: name: Bajekal, Madhavi
Publisher: name: SOAS University of London

description: This study is an attempt to examine agrarian production in eighteenth century eastern Rajasthan at two levels. First, we attempt to establish the chronology of the trends in major indices of agricultural production using the annual revenue records of six representative qasbas or townships. The wealth of varied data available in the revenue and related records of the eighteenth century Jaipur state made it possible to estimate trends in the size of the agricultural product, the variations in cropping patterns and the secular movements of foodgrain prices. Second, a primary concern of the thesis has been to locate the secular trends in production within the context of the interaction between the state and the agrarian production system. A discussion of the environmental context of agriculture in the region leads to an analysis of the logic of the system of taxation that these realities predicated. The complexities of the functioning of the socio-economic system have been analysed by an examination of the mechanism of redistribution of the surplus, the marketing of foodgrains and the provision of rural credit that underpinned the agrarian production system. We argue that the policies of the state in these spheres were interlocked elements of a coherent agrarian policy that sought to actively promote private investment and raise productivity in agriculture. The effective implementation of the policy however was crucially dependent upon the ability of the state to maintain effective control over each element. The analysis of the changing interaction between the state and rural society in a phase of agrarian expansion and a period of recession provides a perspective on the nature of the linkage between political stability and agrarian production and the impetus towards institutional changes in the mechanism of revenue collection during the eighteenth century.

description: This is the presentation of the paper entitled “Smart Textile objects and conductible ink as a context for arts based teaching and learning of computational thinking at primary school” in the Computational Thinking session of the TEEM 2016 International Conference held in Salamanca (Spain) in November 2-4, 2016.

The shaping of Smart Textile artefacts brings together a variety of learning activities, such as imagining, designing, drawing, constructing, wiring, programming, controlling, testing, debugging and presenting self-made, invented media objects, realized in project- and team based arrangements. A variety of human senses are addressed when pupils develop and sketch their project ideas to be realized. In the paper, we discuss the topic of self-made Smart Textile objects as a learning content for primary school level, towards the development of curriculum modules for project learning in the classroom as well as teacher training. It was developed in the ‘Teachers Aids on Creating Contents for Learning Environments’ TACCLE3 coding project.

title: The stanzaic poems (tarji'at) of Rumi: Critical edition, translation and commentary with additional chapters on aspects of his "Divan".
Creators: name: Waley, Muhammad Isa
Publisher: name: SOAS University of London
Year: 1991

description: This thesis is primarily concerned with forty-four stanzaic poems (tarji'at) in Persian by the Sufi master and poet Jalal ad-Din Rumi (604/1207 - 672/1273). These are found interspersed in manuscripts of his lyric poems (ghazaliyyat) known by the collective titles of Divan-i kabir or Divan-i Shams-i Tabrizi. The critical edition of this Divan by Badi' az-Zaman Furuzanfar is good but not altogether definitive. The present study includes a new edition of the tarji'at, with apparatus criticus, based on thirteen manuscripts produced within a century of Rumi's death. The new edition contains numerous corrections, orthographical improvements, and additional variant readings. The Persian text is preceded by introductory chapters. One describes the early manuscripts of Divan-i kabir and the relationship between them. Although the textual development of the Divan cannot be traced in detail, the history and authenticity of the text are also discussed. Also included are a study of the question of Rumi's date of birth, and an overview of the chief features of the Divan-i kabin form and rhetoric, themes and doctrines, and the place of the Divan in the author's oeuvre. An annotated bibliography lists and describes published texts and translations of all or part of the Divan. There are two index- glossaries to the tarji'at: of technical terms, and of proper names. The text of the poems is followed by full translations into English prose; they are more literal than literary in character. Finally, these works by one of the world's greatest mystics require commentaries. Rich in esoteric meaning and replete with allusions, Rumi's tarji'at contain many opaque expressions and progressions of thought. A separate commentary for each tarji' summarizes the poem; analyses textual problems; explains allusions and technical points; and attempts to elucidate other semantic obscurities.
