title: A phonetic and phonological study of the use of pitch and other associated features in Panjabi (Doabi).
Creators: name: Joshi, Shiv Sharma
Publisher: name: SOAS University of London
Year: 1970

description: After the acknowledgements and contents, the introductory Chapter gives some details about the language and area, including an account of the previous work done, approach being adopted (prosodic) and also the symbols used to represent speech-sounds and pitch. The second chapter is an account of the two major linguistic uses of pitch, i.e., tone and intonation, A statement of three-term tone system is followed by a detailed discussion, with examples, of the two intonation systems, set up for the final and non-final Panjabi clauses respectively, each having a number of terms. Emphasis, emphatic sentences and main acoustic correlates of emphasis, namely, duration, intensity and pitch discussed in some detail and supported by instrumental evidence form the main body of the third Chapter followed by the examples of sentences with one emphatic word in different positions. In the remaining three Chapters various exponents of each of the three terms of the tonal system are discussed in some detail. Pitch-feature exponents are stated in Chapter four and an attempt is made to account for the variation in pitch-exponency. Chapter five furnishes a short account of the phonation features as exponents of the different tones. Word-initial and word-final features as exponents and also as criteria are discussed in Chapter six. The thesis concludes with a bibliography and three appendices which include instrumental evidence apart from the examples of non-emphatic clauses and tables incorporating actual measurements of duration, intensity and pitch.

title: The verb stems and conjugations in colloquial Israeli Hebrew : A syntactic and semantic study.
Creators: name: Ariel, Shlomo
Publisher: name: SOAS University of London
Year: 1969

description: This thesis consists mainly of an explanatory description of the systematic interrelations between the so-called conjugations (Binyanim) and certain general semantic and syntactic properties of verbs in Colloquial Israeli Hebrew. The description itself is preceded by a general introductory part, which gives a definition for the term Colloquial Israeli Hebrew (1.1.), spells out the transcription used in the thesis (1.2.1,), notes on some morphophonemic properties of conjugations and stems (1.2.2.) and gives some details on the research methods used (1.4.; 1.5.), addition, this part includes a critique of traditional and current approaches to the problem of the Binyanim (l.3.) and a concise exposition of the theoretical model which the description follows, a model based on notions and notations borrowed from the T.G. and/Predicate Calculus (1.6.). The description pressuposes a classification of the verbs according to various Basic Predication types (this concept, which is roughtly equivalent to basic syntactic patterns, is introduced in 1.6.) into which they fit. This classification is incorporated in the index of roots appended to the thesis. Most (occurrences of) conjugations are said to be "basic", that is roughtly "associated with B.P.-types on which no operation has been performed" (2.1.5; 2.10.). Some are said to be "derived", that is "associated with B.P.-types on which operations such as converse-derivation (1.6.9; 2.10.5) reflexive-instantiation (2.10.1.) conjunction and reciprocal instantiation (2.10.2) etc. have been performed". Basic (occurrences of) conjugations are characterized as follows: Each group of conjugations is associated with a class of roots which defines both middle-intransitive ("non-ergative") and active-transitive ("ergative") B.P.-types (1.6.5.; 2.1.) and in which most roots share certain combinations of meaning- features. (The elements in each such combination are taken from a small stock. Some of them are redundant (2.1.4)). The conjugations occuring in non-ergative B.P.-types realise the marked term of the "Aktionsart" category ingressive vs. non- ingressive (1.3.3; 2.1.3). The Aktionsart contrast neutralizes in the environments of certain classes of roots, defined semantically (2.5 - 2.7). Departures from the above scheme have usually a simple explanation (2.4; 2.5; 2.6.).

title: The South Vietnamese constitution of April 1, 1967 : The institutionalization of politics in the Second Republic.
Creators: name: Fredrick, Cynthia Kay
Publisher: name: SOAS University of London
Year: 1969

description: As the central feature of a long-advocated reorganization of the governmental hierarchy initiated by the Saigon regime in the spring of 1966, a new 117-article Constitution was promulgated on April 1, 1967. This democratization process, or the "Constitutional Experiment", extended well beyond the legal and somewhat theoretical innovations associated with the drafting and ratification of the document, however, In the course of fourteen months, some five national elections were staged in the G.V.N. (Government of Viet-Nam) controlled regions of the country. The constitutional measures thereby also had a considerable impact on the practical aspects of political activity in South Viet-Nam, by encouraging the expression, articulation, and formalization of a wide range of political ideas and behavioral patterns within the Nationalist movement itself. This thesis is primarily concerned with an assessment of the response of these disparate socio-political factions to the challenge afforded by the initiation of the Constitutional Experiment. For the success of the implementation and the legitimation of the institutionalization of politics in the Second Republic was to depend primarily on two principal considerations: the degree to which the measures incorporated within the Constitution could prove relevant to the realities of Nationalist politics; and at the same time, the extent to which these innovations might prevail over the traditional political forces in the country-forces which had long posed a greater threat to the Nationalist movement from within than had the presence of the National Liberation Front, from without.
title: Rural depopulation in post-war Japan, with reference to remote rural settlements of the Tajima region.
Creators: name: Palmer, Edwina
Publisher: name: SOAS University of London
Year: 1983

description: The thesis traces the development of rural depopulation in post-war Japan. Emphasis is placed on the demographic, economic and social factors which have affected, and been affected by, rural depopulation. Special reference is made to original research on seven remote depopulated settlements of the Tajima region of northern Hyogo Prefecture. It is argued that rural depopulation occurs principally in industrialized nations such as Japan, as a combined result of demographic transition and large-scale rural-urban migration of young, productive people from the remoter rural areas. In the case of Japan, the late development of the communications network and problems of accessibility in remote rural areas are shown to have had a profound impact on the depopulation process. Moreover, the poor organizational structure of forest management and problems in the agrarian structure are major drawbacks to the development of depopulated areas. It is argued that although rural depopulation occurred swiftly in post-war Japan, its potential severity has been alleviated on balance by several devices, notably by benevolent agricultural policy and the practice of seasonal migration for employment (dekasegi), There has been a rapid increase in the proportion of part-time farming in Japan, which, in depopulated settlements that are often beyond commuting distance to off-farm job opportunities, frequently takes the form of dekasegi. Dekasegi is demonstrated to be an important transitional stage in the rural depopulation process. In the remoter settlements of Japan, the instigation of small cooperative activities are shown to alleviate many of the economic and social problems caused by rural depopulation and may help to sustain or revitalize the economy of many depopulated settlements.

Factors influencing brood sex ratio in the egg parasitoid Trissolcus basalis (Woll.) (Hymenoptera: Scelionidae)
Creators: name: Colazza, Stefano
Publisher: name: Entomologica
Year: 2016

description: This study examines the sex ratio response of the egg parasitoid Trissolcus basalis (Woll.) to both the presence of other conspecific females and to their traces when ovipositing on Nezara viridula (L.) egg masses. In both conditions T basalis females lay a higher sex ratio (proportion of males) qualitatively agreeing with the local mate competition (LMC) theory. The ability of T basalis to shift its sex ratio could be achieved by decreasing the number of laid eggs per wasp, which would increase the proportion of male eggs due to the sequence effect, i.e. "male-first strategy", and by direct oviposition of a higher proportion of male eggs. In ali likelihood the extemal marking pheromone left by previous females provides the stimulus for sex ratio adjustment to the following females.

Key words: arrhenotoky, local mate competition, Nezara viridula, egg mass.

I FATTORI CHE INFLUENZANO LA SEX RATIO DELLA PROGENIE DEL PARASSITOIDE OOFAGO TRISSOLCUS BASALIS (WOLL.) (HYMENOPTERA: SCELIONIDAE)
 In questo studio sono state esaminate le variazione nella sex ratio del parassitoide oofago

Trissolcus basalis (Woll.) mentre ovidepone su una ovatura di Nezara viridula (L.) in risposta sia alla presenza di femmine appartenenti alla stessa specie che alle loro sostanze marcanti. In entrambi i casi le femmine del T. basalis hanno prodotto una sex ratio maggiore (espressa come proporzione dei maschi) in accordo con quanto previsto dalla teoria della competizione localizzata per l'accoppiamento, local mate competition (LMC). La capacità delle femmine del parassitoide di modificare la loro sex ratio è dovuta sia alla diminuzione del numero di uova parassitizzate per ciascuna femmina, con il conseguente aumento del numero di uova maschili (effetto sequenza); che ad un diretto aumento del numero di uova che daranno maschi. Con tutta probabilità il feromone di marcatura esterno deposto dalla prima femmina ovideponente fornisce lo stimolo alle femmine successive per modificare la loro sex ratio.

Parole chiave: riproduzione arrenotoca; competizione localizzata per l'accoppiamento, Nezara viridula, ovatura.

title: The European Union and economic criminal law
Creators: name: De Pinho Negrão, Fernando
Year: 2024

description: Die vorliegende Arbeit befasst sich mit der Schnittstelle zwischen dem Recht der Europäischen Union und dem Wirtschaftsstrafrecht, d. h. mit den Institutionen und Instrumenten der Union zur Bekämpfung von Betrug zum Nachteil der finanziellen Interessen der Union. Zu diesem Zweck, werden die Finanzvorschriften der Europäischen Union, wie sie im Vertrag über die Arbeitsweise der Europäischen Union festgelegt sind, analysiert. Die Bestimmungen, betreffend den Haushalt, die Einnahmen und Ausgaben der Union, sowie das Thema der finanziellen Interessen der Union werden dahingehend untersucht. Die Zuständigkeit der Union für den Schutz ihrer finanziellen Interessen und das Mandat zur Betrugsbekämpfung sind ebenso Gegenstand der Analyse dieser Arbeit, wie auch das Thema der justiziellen Zusammenarbeit der Europäischen Union in Strafsachen. Eine Vielzahl von europäischen Organen und Einrichtungen verfügt über gewisse Kompetenzen in Bezug auf Betrugsbekämpfungsmaßnahmen, wobei nur die ausschließlich für die Betrugsbekämpfung zuständigen europäischen Organe und Einrichtungen Gegenstand dieser Untersuchung sein werden. Der rechtliche und institutionelle Rahmen, der Zuständigkeitsbereich und die Praxis des Europäischen Rechnungshofs (EuRH), des Europäischen Amtes für Betrugsbekämpfung (OLAF) und der Europäischen Staatsanwaltschaft (EPPO), werden analysiert und erforscht. Schließlich wird auch das Thema der Koexistenz und des möglichen Konflikts zwischen zwei konkurrierenden Rechtsordnungen, der europäischen Rechtsordnung und der nationalen Rechtsordnung der Mitgliedstaaten, untersucht.
description: This thesis concerns the intersection of European Union law and criminal economic law, that is, the anti-fraud institutions and instruments of the Union to combat fraud that is detrimental to its financial interests. In order to reach that goal, the financial provisions concerning the European Union, as established by the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union, are analysed. Budgetary provisions, revenue and expenditure of the Union, are scrutinised and the central topic of the financial interests of the Union is assessed. The competence of the Union to protect its financial interests and the mandate to combat fraud are also the object of analysis of this thesis, alongside the topic of the judicial cooperation of the European Union for criminal matters. A plurality of European institutions and bodies has some competences regarding anti-fraud measures, however, only the European institutions and bodies exclusively competent to combatting fraud are the object of study. The legal and institutional framework, scope of competences, and practice of the European Court of Auditors - ECA, the European Anti-Fraud Office - OLAF, and the European Public Prosecutor’s Office - EPPO, are analysed and explored. Finally, the topic of the coexistence and possible conflict of two competing jurisdictions, the European legal order and the domestic legal order of the Member States, is also investigated.

title: The impact of education on earnings and occupational mobility in Kenya.
Creators: name: Gomes, Melba
Publisher: name: SOAS University of London
Year: 1983

description: The present study attempts to assess the extent to which economic differences between ethnic groups and between individuals have been reduced or eliminated by the expansion of educational opportunities in Kenya, By analysing the patterns of wage income distribution, the conditions which affect them and some of their consequences, the study attempts to explain part of the process of perpetuating income inequalities in the country. From the analysis of a considerable amount of empirical data, a picture is painted of a society in which economic status is inherited. For although the economic success of individuals in the labour market is strongly influenced by their educational attainments, the prior influence of inherited characteristics such as birth-order, family-size, ethnic and occupational origins on these scholastic achievements has served to create profound inequalities in individual access to income. In addition, the increasing tendency of the urban labour market to recruit the sons of other wage employees suggests that economic ties are being strengthened and perpetuated across generations.

description: NEW MORPHOLOGICAL OBSERVATION OF THE FEMALE BACTERIAL POCKETS IN THE CLEONINS (COLEOPTERA CURCULIONIDAE)

The typical “female transmission pockets” of the subf. Cleoninae were examined in nine species of the genera Cleonis, Larinus, Lixus and Rhinocyllus. They correspond to the female colleterial glands and are lacking in Larinus scolymi. Three morphological types of these glands were found: accordion-, sac- and bush-like. Observed in Lixus punctiventris, the epithelium of these organs exhibits largely nucleated cells, each rich of microvilli at apical end. The dense bacterial contents include a large percentage of paired rods, each 2-3 μm long.

Key words: Curculionidae, Cleoninae, bacteria, accessory glands, fine structure.

title: The identification of adoptives in Matengo, with special reference to adoptives from intra-Bantu sources.
Creators: name: Turuka, Ursus Alois Holangope
Publisher: name: SOAS University of London
Year: 1983

description: This study is concerned with the process of linguistic adoption, in particular the setting up of techniques that can be used to identify adopted material (adoptives) within Bantu languages and especially adoptives that result from the mutual interpenetration of Bantu languages. A model of identification has been set up principally by applying Guthrie's comparative techniques and results to Matengo (N13), a Bantu language spoken in Southern Tanzania. After a background description to the languages involved here and a brief treatment of some of the theories generally held on Lexical Borrowing, in which Swahili loans of non-Bantu provenance have mostly been employed, regular and irregular (skewed) reflexes of Common Bantu 'starred' forms in Matengo have been abstracted, and the skewed reflexes examined to determine whether or not the forms involved are loan suspects. When the irregular reflexes contain extraneous phonological features, whether segmental (Chapter 3) or tonal (Chapter 5), and especially if a possible source language for the skewing or extraneousness can be found, then our suspicion regarding loaning is strengthened. The languages employed in this study as examples of those from which Matengo might have adopted part of its Bantu material are Manda (N11) and Ngoni (N12), close linguistic associates of Matengo, and Standard Swahili (here distinguished from Ki-Unguja - G42d) which has had significant contact with Matengo. The identification methodology developed in this study has also been tested on material unrelated to Common Bantu (Chapter 4) and some putative adoptives of intra-Bantu source have been detected in such material. In this connection, only the segmental features have been taken into account, since the tonal typologies of Common Eastern Nyasa (*EN) have not been worked out.

Nuovi dati anatomici e citologici sul presunto simbiosoma dei Coleotteri Meliridi
Creators: name: De Marzo, Luigi
Publisher: name: Entomologica
Year: 2016

description: NEW ANATOMICAL AND HISTOLOGICAL DATA ON THE SUPPOSED SYMBIOSOME OF THE MELYRIDS (COLEOPTERA)

Observation by light- and electron microscopy was carried out to discuss the biological signifi- cance of the mulberry-shaped organs of the female Melyrids, here referred as “Holmgren’s organ”. This was differently regarded by authors, either as group of oenocytes or as symbiotic transmission device.

The new data on this organ show its presence in both adult females and males of Henicopus, Dasytes and Psilothrix; its absence in Divales and Danacaea; its presence in last-instar larvae of Psilothrix viridicoerulea (Geoffr.); its sex dimorphism in adult; its lack of sex dimorphism in larvae; its regression during the reproductive season in both males and females; its lack of cytopla- smatic structure which can be referred to microorganisms.

A review from the literature leads the author to regard the term “oenocyte” as very poor of cytological significance if not referred to single species. So, the Holmgren’s oenocytes are defined as follows: large size, globose shape, large nuclei, lacking in cell polarity, located without metameric order, connected with the gut in both females and larvae, free in the hemocoel in males, trending to regress in both adult females and males possibly in correlation with the gonad development.

Key words: Melyridae, symbiosis, oenocytes, fine structure.

Il classico organo femminile di Dasytes niger, qui indicato come “organo di Holmgren”, viene rivisto in merito al suo significato funzionale dopo l’acquisizione di nuovi dati sulla sua presenza negli adulti dei due sessi di altre specie di Meliridi e nelle larve di Psilothrix viridicoerulea. Lo studio ultrastrutturale conferma la tesi originale dello scopritore, riguardo alla natura ghiandolare dell’organo e, data la mancanza di strutture riferibili a microrganismi, esclude la tesi di un suo ruolo nell’endosimbiosi.

Viene fatta una rassegna bibliografica sulle caratteristiche dell’enocita, dalla quale risultano attribuite a questo termine un gran numero di caratteristiche diverse e variabili che lo rendono povero di significato senza l’indicazione della specie considerata.

title: The urban demography of industrialisation and its economic implications, with particular reference to a region in India from 1951-1971.
Creators: name: Crook, Nigel Royden
Publisher: name: SOAS University of London
Year: 1983

description: This thesis is an examination of the demographic characteristics of urban localities that were subject to a planned industrialisation strategy in India beginning in the 1950s. It studies the local age and sex structures that emerged and evolved in these populations over time, down to 1971, using the Censuses as the main sources of data, and focusing on the iron and steel producing region of Eastern India, with comparisons drawn from the West of the country. To aid interpretation a simulation model of urban demographic growth is constructed, and various growth patterns are projected. At the same time, the empirical evidence of migration and fertility differentials in different types of towns is explored. The study addresses the hypothesis that modern technology, in combination with factor proportions typical of a developing country (with relatively abundant labour) gives rise to the formation of local population structures that are unusual if not unique in history - (some comparative historical material from 19th Century England is presented here) and that these demographic features, as they emerge over time, carry exceptional implications for the allocation of local welfare expenditure (especially in the field of housing), and for the local labour market, as subsequent generations enter the labour force. The implications are of most interest in the case of the fastest growing localities (related to heavy industry), and the slowest growing localities, and these therefore are discussed the most. The welfare and employment implications are further analysed at the level of the household (using additionally the 1959 Labour Bureau survey data), and the strategies adopted by the households themselves to mitigate the more adverse consequences, especially in single-industry towns, are investigated and assessed. Similarly, strategies that have been adopted by the State are reviewed, and alternatives suggested.

title: Managing food security
Creators: name: Joó, Katharina Alexandra
Year: 2024

description: In der folgenden Arbeit werden die Auswirkungen des Krieges zwischen Russland und der Ukraine auf die globale Ernährungssicherheit untersucht, wobei der Schwerpunkt auf den Strategien liegt, mit denen die aus dem Konflikt resultierende Ernährungsunsicherheit gemildert werden soll. Die Studie untersucht Schlüsselinitiativen wie die „Black Sea Grain Initiative“ (BSGI), die EU-Solidaritätswege und das Programm „Grain From Ukraine“, die darauf abzielen, den Export ukrainischer Agrarprodukte trotz des anhaltenden Krieges zu erleichtern. Durch eine vergleichende Analyse wirtschaftlicher, politischer und rechtlicher Aspekte wird in dieser Arbeit die Wirksamkeit dieser Strategien bei der Aufrechterhaltung von Lebensmittelversorgungsketten und der Minderung der Ernährungsunsicherheit in Regionen, die stark von ukrainischen Exporten abhängig sind, bewertet. Die Untersuchung verdeutlicht das komplexe Zusammenspiel zwischen militärischen Konflikten und Ernährungssicherheit und unterstreicht die Notwendigkeit einer soliden internationalen Zusammenarbeit und innovativer politischer Lösungen zur Bewältigung dieser Herausforderungen. Letztlich wird dargelegt, dass die anhaltende Volatilität und die Risiken in der Schwarzmeerregion trotz erheblicher Anstrengungen weiterhin eine erhebliche Bedrohung für die globale Ernährungssicherheit darstellen und ständige Wachsamkeit und Anpassungsstrategien erfordern.
description: The following thesis examines the impact of the Russia-Ukraine war on global food security, focusing on the strategies employed to mitigate food insecurity resulting from the conflict. The study explores key initiatives such as the Black Sea Grain Initiative (BSGI), the EU Solidarity Lanes, and the Grain from Ukraine programme, which aim to facilitate the export of Ukrainian agricultural products despite the ongoing hostilities. Through a comparative analysis of economic, political, and legal dimensions, the thesis assesses the effectiveness of these strategies in maintaining food supply chains and mitigating food insecurity in regions heavily reliant on Ukrainian exports. The research highlights the complex interplay between military conflict and food security, emphasizing the need for robust international cooperation and innovative policy solutions to address these challenges. A conclusion is reached that while significant efforts have been made, the persistent volatility and risks in the Black Sea region continue to pose substantial threats to global food security, necessitating ongoing vigilance and adaptive strategies.
title: Angry words softly spoken: A comparative study of English and Arab women writers.
Creators: name: Al Sharekh, Al Anoud
Publisher: name: SOAS University of London
Year: 2003

description: This thesis will be a comparative study charting the emergence of feminist consciousness in the novels of English and Arab female writers. The tripartite structure that this evolution follows - Feminine, Feminist, Female - will be based to some degree on the theory presented by Elaine Showalter's A Literature of Their Own. The work of three English novelists will be compared and contrasted with that of three modern Arabic novelists, which would fall into the same stage of development. The outline for this is as follows: 1. Feminine stage: the development of female consciousness during this phase was still being directly influenced and affected by a repressive patriarchal society. This manifested itself in the adoption of male pseudonyms by women writers, and the writing was generally oblique, displaced, ironic and subversive. The English author representative of this stage is Charlotte Bronte, and the Arab author Layla al-'Uthman. 2. Feminist stage: the distinguishing characteristics of women writers' work in this stage were vocal protests against male government, law and medicine, and the quest for a female utopia. The English author Sarah Grand will be the example of development in female consciousness at this level, and for the Arab author Nawal al-Sacdawi. 3. Female stage (which runs up to the present time): achieved by the authors through the redefinition of internal and external experiences, and determined by forays into the imprisoning and liberating aspects of female consciousness. For the purposes of this thesis, the English author Virginia Woolf will be representing this stage, and the Arab author Hanan al-Shaykh. In presenting an overview of the development of female literary consciousness through the novels of English women writers, this thesis will attempt to assess the development of contemporary Arab female writers, and uncover the trajectory of softness and anger in their work.
