title: Selections from "Sadavasyaka vrtti" of Tarunaprabha, critically edited: A study of the Gujrati language in the 14th century A.D.
Creators: name: Pandit, Prabodh Bechardas
Publisher: name: SOAS University of London
Year: 1949

description: The thesis is an edition of selections from Sadavasyaka vriti of Tarunaprabha. Tarunaprabha composed this Gujrati commentary in 1411 V.S. (1355 A.D.) at Patan. The earliest available ms. is written in 1412 V.S. and comes from Bikaner. In addition to this, I have used three other mss. from the Bhandarkar Oriental Research Institute (Bh, not dated), the Limbdi (L. 1419 V.S.),and the Patan (P. 1508 V.S.) collection; The earliest specimens of the Gujrati language date from 1330 V.S. There are four fragmentary prose pieces (in all, less than 200 lines) from 1330 to 1369 V.S.,while this work is a detailed document containing popular narratives, written in 1411 V.S. This work is, not only the earliest detailed document of Gujrati, but one of the earliest in the New Indo-Aryan languages. The whole commentary is a large work of 308 folios, so I have edited narratives from it, omitting the Old Gujrati translation of the original Prakrit sadavasyaka and discussions about the ritual. These thirty popular stories are the nearest approximation to the then spoken Gujrati of the common man. The selections form more than one-third of the whole work. It is an important phenomenon that our best ms. is written just one year after the composition of the text. At the same time, the other two, the BORI and the Limbdi mss. are written between 1411-1419 V.S.; thus, of the four mss. available three are written during the first ten years succeeding the composition of the text, evidence which cannot be disregarded. in the restoration of the text. So I have edited the text eclectically. By presenting the internal evidence I have been able to show the probable course of text-transmission,which has helped me to judge the authenticity of various readings, and to fix the date of the BORI ms. The difficulties of editing a 'bhasa' text where the scribes do not trouble much about minor alterations are well known; but at the same time, these scribal variations in different mss. present material through which we get glimpses of the dialectal tendencies of Early Gujrati. In the treatment of the orthography I have analysed these scribal variations which have enabled me to present the text in a method hitherto unknown in Gujrati text-editing. The work is divided into three main parts: 1. Introduction; deals with the orthography and contains a grammatical analysis of the language of the text. 2. Text: contains thirty narratives from the mss. with complete collations of B, Bh, and P and partial collations of L. 3. Index ; contains a vocabulary of Gujrati words, omitting the Sk. and the Pk. loanwords,found in the text together with the Sk. equivalents explaining their etymology. The appendix contains the colophons, which give the date of the composition and the writing of the text, and the genealogical of the author and the patron of the scribe of the B.
title: The growth of local self-government in Assam, 1874-1919.
Creators: name: Barkakoty, Aswini Kumar
Publisher: name: SOAS University of London
Year: 1949

description: The object of this work is to present, in a reasonably moderate compass, the complete story of the development of Local Self-Government in Assam during the years 1874 to 1919. An effort has been made to describe and discuss the origin of the system, the different phases of its development, its aim and object, its effectiveness and its place in the social and political lift of the people. The subject has been divided into Municipalities, Local Boards and Village Authorities. The first chapter is chiefly intended to serve as an introduction to the subject as a whole. For this reason attention is dram to such topics as the physical geography of the province with its bearing on the subject, the systems of Local Government under the native rulers, the beginning of municipal and rural institutions under the British rule and the earlier policies of the Government which laid the foundations of the system. The second chapter gives an account of the evolution of municipalities as a result of the various enactments. The third chapter deals with the Municipal Finance. In this various sources of income and their merits end demerits are discussed, while in the fourth chapter various municipal services concerning the public safety, public health, public convenience and public instruction are dealt with. The fifth chapter describes Government control over the municipalities end how the Government gradually relaxed the control to enable the authorities to become more and more autonomous. Chapter six is devoted to the constitutional development of the Boards and the factors responsible for changes, while in the next chapter the Revenue of the Boards is dealt with. Chapter eight gives an account of the functions of the Boards with different stages of their development, while in chapter nine Government control and the successive stages of its relaxation arc discussed. The chapter ten is on the village authorities. They existed only for three years of the period of our study.

title: The structure of Maltese: A study in mixed grammar and vocabulary.
Creators: name: Aquilina, J.
Publisher: name: SOAS University of London
Year: 1940

description: Maltese is a separate language resulting from the interaction and fusion of North-African Arabic Siculo-Italian, covering two different cultural strata. The Arabic element in Maltese very often corresponds to the Anglo-Saxon in English, while the Romance loans correspond to the Norman-French element. Also as in English, the primitive linguistic stratum is confined mainly to the description of the obvious facts of Nature and the Individual's reactions to them while the abstract and progressive vocabulary of the intelligentsia belongs to later times. The result of this fusion is a mixed grammar and vocabulary as we shall show when studying the structure of spoken Maltese. In order to be able to distinguish the two elements, we have established a series of descriptive criteria that together make possible a detailed phonological analysis of the language. The thesis begins with a description of Maltese sounds, followed by Phonology, where these criteria are based on a study of the Vowels, their quantity, position and sequences; the semi vowel, the diphthongs, their position, stress, the consonants, their sequences including initial groups in phonological junction (zero vowel). In Morphology the words are studied as patterns, with particular attention to the formal arrangement of the consonants and the correlative vowels which are described in their various semantic changes with lists of examples from spoken and archaic Maltese. In both parts the two elements have been treated separately but under Semitic Maltese are treated those words which have been assimilated partially or completely to a Semitic pattern. Words which have not been so assimilated are of course treated under the head of Romance Maltese.
title: The "Pattupattu": A historical, social and linguistic study.
Creators: name: Vithiananthan, S.
Publisher: name: SOAS University of London
Year: 1950

description: The Thesis is a study of the Pattuppattu, a collection of ten Tamil poems, from a historical, social and linguistic point of view. References from the Ettuttokai, an Anthology of eight works belonging to the same period, are also given in support of the data gathered from the Pattuppattu. the material has been dealt with under various heads and the whole thesis is divided into four main parts, namely, Historical, Religious, Social and Linguistic. In the Introduction, besides a general account of the ten poems, the term Sangam, the works that may be called Sangam works, and how and when they were collected, have been discussed. In Part I, historical background and chronology of the period, kings and chiefs celebrated in Pattuppattu, kingship, administration, revenue etc. have been examined. Part II deals deals with the religion and religious cults of the period and includes an examination of the Aryan and Dravidian gods, religious practices, traces of Buddhism and Jainism, superstition and mythology etc. In Part III, social structure, influence of the Brahmans, life of the people of the different regions, occupations, industry and trade, marriage, fine arts etc. have been dealt with. Part IV is a linguistic study where the non Tamil words appearing in the Pattuppattu are examined, obsolete grammatical forms and words are discussed, the prosody of the poems is analysed and the points of difference between the Pattuppattu and similar Sanskrit poems with regard to subject matter, treatment etc. are worked out.

title: A critical edition of the Jaina Prakrit text "Munivaicariyam," with translation and grammatical notes.
Creators: name: Williams, R. H. B.
Publisher: name: SOAS University of London
Year: 1951

description: The edition of this work here presented is based on a collation of four manuscripts of dates varying between the 16th. and the 18th. centuries. The final text is fairly satisfactory but some half dozen verses still present corruptions. In noting the variants no account has been taken of mere orthographical peculiarities. The translation has been kept as close to the original as intelligibility allowed and lays no claim to literary style. The work consists of 646 verses and is built up, after the common Indian pattern, from a frame-story, incidents of which serve as a pretext for the introduction of sixteen tales of varying length. In addition a number of other tales are found inserted in the subsidiary narratives. The larger part of the introduction to this edition is taken up by a detailed analysis of these stories and of their parallels in Indian katha literature. Special attention is paid to the Jaina commentaries on the sacred books insofar as these are available for study. Many of the tales are a part of world folklore but it is beyond the scope of this short study to pursue their history outside India. One and, as far as know, only one, has been discussed elsewhere (by Belloni-Filippi In RSO vol. IV, 1911-12). It Is difficult to arrive at any clear conclusions on the origin and development of these fables, but it seems probable that most, if not all the 'boxed' stories belong to the common fund of narratives which Jaina preachers used for purposes of edification and which are preserved in the voluminous commentarial literature, whilst one is tempted to see in the frame-story a legend which has a special connection with Gujarat where the Munipaticarit a would seem to have been written. The introduction also includes a note on the various versions of the legend of Munipati (or Manipati for there is some hesitancy even about the name) which are known to exist and a discussion of the attribution of authorship (in the text itself) to Haribhadra Suri who cannot be identical with the famous Jaina commentator. Some considerable importance is attached in considering the date of the work to the occurrence in the Brhatkathakosa, a collection of Jaina tales dated A.D, 932, of a narrative so close to that of the Munipaticarita that it seems impossible not to assume that one has borrowed front the other. Prom internal evidence one is led to assume that the Munipaticarita is the older. Finally the introduction includes brief notes on popular Jainism as it appears in the stories and on the language and metre, as well as a short glossary of the more uncommon words.

title: The early life of Ou-yang Hsiu and his relation to the rise of the ku-wen movement of the Sung Dynasty.
Creators: name: Locke, Marjorie A.
Publisher: name: SOAS University of London
Year: 1951

description: The purpose of this thesis is twofold: to provide a preliminary study for a complete biography of the Sung writer and official Ou-yang Hsiu - a subject which has so far been neglected by Chinese and European scholars alike - and to investigate his relation to the establishment of Han Yu as China's greatest prose writer, and the development of the ku-wen movement - again a matter which has been for the most part neglected, and where considered at all presented in a very false perspective. This thesis is accordingly divided into two sections:- 1. Biographical. This contains details of the Ou-yang clan and of Hsiu's family in particular, the circumstances of his childhood, youth and early career, up to and including his thirtieth year, when he was dismissed from the capital to spend a period of exile in the provinces. The general historical end administrative background details of the incident which led to his dismissal and biographical details of his contemporaries are included only in so far as they affect Hsiu himself. 2. Literary. The beginning of Hsiu's official career raises the question of his position in the field of literature, which is reviewed in this section. A brief survey is given of the nature and development of the ku-wen movement up to the beginning of the Sung dynasty. Technical matter has been omitted as this is to be the subject of a separate article, now in the course of preparation. This is followed by a consideration of the Sung ku-wen writers prior to Ou-yang Hsiu. Thereafter the position of Ou-yang Hsiu is considered in relation to this background. Both the biographical and the literary sections extend to the year 1036, at which point the first period of Hsiu's career is brought to a close by his banishment. A thesis which covers, as this does, an extensive and neglected field inevitably raises many problems which fall outside its scope. Some of these are set out briefly in a final chapter, with suggestions of the lines along which further research into them might be pursued.
title: A grammar of Manichean Sogdian.
Creators: name: Gerschevitsch, Ilja
Publisher: name: SOAS University of London
Year: 1943

description: The Manichaean texts in Sogdian which were discovered in Central Asia, are partly written in the ordinary Sogdian writing---notorious for the difficulties inherent in its historicla system of spelling---which is used throughout in Buddhist and profane texts, partly in a special script, peculiar to Manichaeans, in which words are spelt phonetically. Although, at the time when our texts were written, the spoken language underlying these two spripts was, of course, the same, only the Manichaean script gives a true picture of its actual state. One therefore speaks of "Manichaean Sogdian" (Sogdian in Manichaean writing) asx distinct from "Buddhist Sogdian" (Sogdian in Sogdian writing). This thesis is a description of Manichaean Sogdian, based on all that has been found of it amongst the fragments of Manichaean texts discovered by the Turfan expeditions. A number of these fragments have been published, mainly by Dr. Henning; the rest are still unpublished, but I have been able to read them with Dr. Henning, who possesses a complete set of photographs of them which he very kindly lent me. I have thus been equipped with a considerable material which I have tried to shape into a descriptive grammar of Manichaean Sogdian, with frequent references to corresponding forms in Buddhist and Christian Sogdian. The result is a somewhat abridged phonology (a complete phonology would require a special thesis), a morphology as far as I could gather it from the material available, and some remarks on syntax, so far as they can be useful in a language whose remains consist almost exclusively of texts translated - often literally - from other languages.

Creators: name: Mukhlis, Faiq Amin
Publisher: name: SOAS University of London
Year: 1964

description: Chapter I: The history of the Hilalis, from the time of the Jahiliya down to the present day, is traced with special emphasis on social and cultural background. The influence of the Bedouin traits in their character on their history is shown, and the social and political consequences of the Hilali entry into North Africa are briefly discussed. Their dispersal throughout the Arab world, in particular in North Africa, is described and as an additional illustration of this the genealogical tables of various Hilali tribes are attached at the end of the thesis. Chapter II: The origin of the older specimens of poetry connected with the Hilali narrative is examined. The spread of the narrative to Egypt and the changes it underwent at the hands of Egyptian composers and narrators is discussed, followed by a consideration of the identity of original anonymous composer or composers and time of composition. Some thought is given to the proper name for the cycles contained -in the sira. A brief critical review of previous research and studies on this subject concludes this chapter. Chapter III: A chronological survey of the episodes of the sira is made, with references to variants in the different printed editions and MSS and, where relevant, to oral Hilali tradition. Short resumes of the principal episodes are given. Chapter IV: The style and peculiarities of North African poetry and tales, both in the Middle Ages and the present, are discussed. The first section deals with the fragments recorded in the Muqaddima, and reference is made to the opinions of Ion Khaldun and his contemporaries, A distinction is drawn between the poetry dealing with the narrative and that of individual Hilali poets. The second section deals with modem North African tales and poems. Their literary and other values are considered and comparisons made with the Egyptian sira. The influence of the latter upon the local North African version is examined. Chapter V: A critical study of the style and characteristics of the sira poetry is made. Content and form are discussed, with particular reference to the divergence in method of scansion from that of traditional poetry. The influence of popular folk poems upon some of the poems in the sira is shown. Two new themes are considered in addition to the usual lyrical ones. Three Arabic appendices are also included: A. A revised copy of the Hilali fragments of the Muqaddima. B. A collection of Hilali tales and poetry recorded in North Africa. C. Specimens from various MSS of the sira.

title: Tiruvalisvaram: A study of its history and inscriptions.
Creators: name: Swaminathan, Kalpathy Doraiswamy
Publisher: name: SOAS University of London
Year: 1964

description: The first chapter deals with the relevant geological and geographical features of the Tirunelveli district and gives an account of the ancient centres of civilisation as revealed by archaeology. Some important references to the oldest history of the area found in Sangam literature, in Greek and Latin literature and in Chinese works, and a short account of the important archaeological monuments dated between the seventh and tenth centuries A.D. are also included. The chapter ends with a brief survey of the extant sources for this study. This is followed in the second chapter by a survey of the political and dynastic history of the Colas, the Cola-Pandyas, the Pandyas and other related dynasties of South India between the tenth and thirteenth centuries A.D., as derived from a study of the inscriptions of Tiruvalisvaram and other South Indian sites, and Tamil, Telugu, Malayalam and Sanskrit literary texts. The third chapter, dealing with the administration and economic life of the area between A.D. 850 and A.D. 1300, gives special reference to local administration in the Pandya country. The social and religious conditions of the period as gleaned from the inscriptions of Tiruvali?varam in the Tirunelveli district of Madras and other related records are reviewed in the fourth chapter. The fifth chapter gives the texts in transcriptions and translations of the inscriptions from Tiruvalisvaram. They range in date between the tenth and thirteenth centuries A.D. and are engraved in Tamil, Grantha and Vatteluttu scripts. These inscriptions are in Tamil.

description: A search for high-mass dimuon resonance production in association with one or more $\mathrm{b}$ quark jets is presented. The study uses proton-proton collision data collected with the CMS detector at the LHC corresponding to an integrated luminosity of $138~\mathrm{fb}^{-1}$ at a center-of-mass energy of $13~\mathrm{TeV}$. Model-independent limits are derived on the number of signal events with exactly one or more than one $\mathrm{b}$ quark jet. Results are also interpreted in a lepton-flavor-universal model with $\mathrm{Z'}$ boson couplings to a $\mathrm{bb}$ quark pair ($g_{\mathrm{b}}$), an $\mathrm{sb}$ quark pair ($g_{\mathrm{b}}\delta_{\mathrm{bs}}$), and any same-flavor charged lepton ($g_{\ell}$) or neutrino pair ($g_{\nu}$), with $|g_{\nu}|=|g_{\ell}|$. For a $\mathrm{Z'}$ boson with a mass $m_{\mathrm{Z'}}=350~\mathrm{GeV}$ ($2~\mathrm{TeV}$) and $|\delta_{\mathrm{bs}}| < 0.25$, the majority of the parameter space with $0.0057 < |g_{\ell}| < 0.35$ ($0.25 < |g_{\ell}| < 0.43$) and $0.0079 < |g_{\mathrm{b}}| < 0.46$ ($0.34 < |g_{\mathrm{b}}| < 0.57$) is excluded at $95\%$ confidence level. Finally, constraints are set on a $\mathrm{Z'}$ model with parameters consistent with low-energy $\mathrm{b} \to \mathrm{s}\ell\ell$ measurements. In this scenario, most of the allowed parameter space is excluded for a $\mathrm{Z'}$ boson with $350

description:
Anxiety is the most common and widespread mental health disorder impacting youth between the ages of 10-19. Youth of color including Hispanic youth are disproportionately impacted. Fewer than 20% of youth of color who need mental health services are receiving them. However, we know relatively little about how to best engage Hispanic youth to increase their use of mental health services. The aims of this study were to better understand the personal, environmental, and behavioral factors that impact Hispanic adolescents help-seeking behaviors and to identify the important criteria needed to develop an appealing intervention that would increase engagement with mental health services. This study used a Design Thinking process-a participatory research approach that included qualitative and engaged methods. In-depth interviews (n = 8) and a Design Thinking workshop (n = 11 participants) were conducted with Hispanic youth with anxiety residing in the San Francisco Bay Area. In-depth interviews were coded using Social Cognitive Theory to identify key themes that impact an adolescent's decision to seek help. The 90-minute workshop included ideation and Design Thinking activities including personas, mind-mapping, and analytical problem-solving to identify the most important tools and strategies that could be used to manage anxiety. The study identified several themes that directly impact program design, including barriers to seeking help for anxiety, coping strategies, sources of support, and specific program ideas. The findings revealed that Hispanic youth want a culturally relevant technology-based program that provides easily accessible educational information and coping strategies delivered in an engaging format that also facilitates mental health support with a trusted adult. The results reinforce the need to develop culturally inclusive and innovative programs designed specifically for priority populations to increase youth engagement with mental health services.
A Psychological Study: Importance of Contrast and Luminance in Color to Grayscale Mapping

description: Grayscale images are essential in image processing and computer vision tasks. They effectively emphasize luminance and contrast, highlighting important visual features, while also being easily compatible with other algorithms. Moreover, their simplified representation makes them efficient for storage and transmission purposes. While preserving contrast is important for maintaining visual quality, other factors such as preserving information relevant to the specific application or task at hand may be more critical for achieving optimal performance. To evaluate and compare different decolorization algorithms, we designed a psychological experiment. During the experiment, participants were instructed to imagine color images in a hypothetical "colorless world" and select the grayscale image that best resembled their mental visualization. We conducted a comparison between two types of algorithms: (i) perceptual-based simple color space conversion algorithms, and (ii) spatial contrast-based algorithms, including iteration-based methods. Our experimental findings indicate that CIELAB exhibited superior performance on average, providing further evidence for the effectiveness of perception-based decolorization algorithms. On the other hand, the spatial contrast-based algorithms showed relatively poorer performance, possibly due to factors such as DC-offset and artificial contrast generation. However, these algorithms demonstrated shorter selection times. Notably, no single algorithm consistently outperformed the others across all test images. In this paper, we will delve into a comprehensive discussion on the significance of contrast and luminance in color-to-grayscale mapping based on our experimental results and analysis.

title: A new edition of the diwan of al-Hutai'ah, accompanied by a criticial introduction.
Creators: name: Ibrahim, Ibrahim Abdel-Rahman M.
Publisher: name: SOAS University of London
Year: 1964

description: The present thesis consists of two parts: one, an introductory biographical and actual part, prefacing the actual text of al-Hutai'ah's work; two, the newly revised text of his diwan. The introduction is divided into two main parts, biographical study of al-Hutai'ah's life and personality, and a critical study of his diwan, its contents and form, its distinguishing characteristics and transmissions. It is the main purpose of this thesis to rectify the errors prevalent in the judgements of Arabic philologists both ancient and modern, and to produce a new unbiased evaluation of his personality and his work. Consequently, most conventional views regarding his allegedly dubious origin, his character and his work had to be refuted and ultimately rejected on the grounds of inaccuracy and prejudice. The new image of al-Hutai'ah has been reconstructed on the basis of those statements of ancient Arabic critics which were found reliable on the one hand, and on an analysis of his background and his own poetry on the other. The present edition of the diwan is composed of a main part which comprises al-Hutai'ah's poetry as recorded in al-Sukkari's transmission and three appendices, one containing additional poems found in Ibn al-Sikkit's recension, the second comprising poems not presented in any of the transmissions of the diwan, hut collected from ancient Arabic sources. The third appendix consists of Ibn al-Sikkit's commentary on al-Hutai'ah's poetry.
title: The dynastic history of the Hoysala kings.
Creators: name: Derrett, J. D. M.
Publisher: name: SOAS University of London
Year: 1949

description: The object of the Thesis is to demonstrate from all available sources the origin, rise, prosperity and decline of the Hoysala dynasty, and to explain its sudden disappearance, into which questions no sufficient investigation has hitherto been made. The information has been derived from the very numerous inscriptions in Old Kannada, Sanskrit, Tamil and Telugu, available both in published and unpublished form; from various literary sources in each of the above-mentioned languages; from Persian chronicles, including the valuable Eutuh us balatin of' Isami never before investigated from the point of view of hysorean history; and from the works of Arabic geographers. Attention has been paid to legendary and semi-legendary material, largely collected by Europeans during the nineteenth century and existing for the most part in unpublished form. The whole political history of the dynasty has been illuminated by a thorough geographical investigation of the limits of the kingdom throughout the period of three centuries, and the thesis is illustrated by a series of maps, which facilitate a Knowledge of the extent of Hoysa4.a power and influence to a greater degree of precision than has been possible hitherto in the case of any Hindu dynasty. The main body of the thesis describes the origin of the family from the chiefs of a hill-tribe, obscure but enjoying certain natural advantages; its early rise at the expense of neighbouring dynasties; its prowess against the Cola, and its period of apprenticeship under the Calukya; its subsequent hostility towards and successes against the latter and against his successor the Kalacuri; and its eventual triumph during the ascendancy of the Yadava. A aeries of reverses than led to an aberration under Ballala II, consisting in the commencemeit of a series of interferences in the affairs of the southern Cola and Paridya kingdoms, which, apparently confirming, in fact undermined the stability of the Hoysala empire. A civil war between the sons of Somesvara stimulated the decline & vain attempts were made by Ballala III to stave off the disruption of his kingdom before a sudden blow at the hands of the Muslims made it a suitable object for the ambitions of the Hindi Vijayanagara family. The thesis is accompanied by a brief description of the administrative methods employed during the period, together with lists of officials, which, it is hope, will enable the epigraphic material which is constantly being discovered to be thereby more easily dated, collated and utilized. Throughout the thesis further light is thrown on the political history of twenty contemporary dynasties.
title: The influence of western, particularly English, political ideas on Indian political thought, with special reference to the political ideas of the Indian National Congress (1885-1919).
Creators: name: Ghosh, S.K.
Publisher: name: SOAS University of London
Year: 1949

description: The influence of English constitutional doctrines is direct and clear upon the early Congressmen and "moderates" (Chapters I - II). Their demands were tardily and partially conceded by the Morley-M into and Montagu-Chelmsford reforms (Chapters VI - VII). The ultimate political ideal of the "moderates", and even of the home rulers (Appendix I), was colonial self-government (Chapter IV - B). The "extremists", who drew some inspiration from the Irish Sinn Fein movement (Chapter III), and the "terrorists", who followed the violent methods of their Russian namesakes (Chapter V - A), were utterly dissatisfied with the rate of political progress that the "moderate" method of political agitation had secured. Compared to the "moderates", the "extremists" and "terrorists" were more influenced by Hindu religion and culture. The reaction of religious reformers (Arya Samajists and Vivekananda), and leading thinkers (Aurobindo, Gandhi, Tagore, Coomaraswamy, and Her Dayal) to Western ideas is shown in a chapter on "Cultural Nationalism and Western Ideas". The Western contact stimulated, in social matters, movements against the undemocratic institution of caste, std, in economic matters, movements in favour of the adoption of modern industrial methods (Chapter IX). The primary sources utilized for this thesis have been of the following nature:- proceedings of Congress, other conferences, Governor-General's Legislative Council, Parliament; speeches, writings and memoirs; periodicals published in India as well as in Great Britain; and newspapers voicing opposite views, for example, The Bengalee and The Pioneer Mail. As Bengal's contribution in ideas on politics and cultural nationalism was particularly important, Bengali sources have been used extensively. Marathi sources could not be used owing to the ignorance of that language. On political questions, not only the opinions of Indians but also the reactions of Anglo-Indian administrators and publicists, and English politicians have been discussed. But the political ideas of the Muslim Leaguers have practically been left out.

description: This study aims to compare the parameters of different light sources determined through virtual simulations and those measured under real-world conditions. By examining various lighting technologies, including Sun, spotlight, and lightbulb, this research seeks to identify the discrepancies and correlations between computational models and empirical data. Analyzed parameters include luminous flux, light intensity and light distribution method. The findings highlight the strengths and limitations of virtual modeling in predicting the performance of lighting sources, providing insights for improving the accuracy of simulations and guiding practical applications in lighting design and optimization. The research aims to present the lighting parameters that can be implemented virtually. In this way, the created virtual simulation through the developed application can facilitate both trainers and trainees in various disciplines related to lighting. А developed virtual laboratory presents the lighting control objects in a computergenerated 3D environment. At the end of the report, conclusions and some recommendations from the research are drawn and formulated.

title: The court of Aurangzib as a centre of learning and literature.
Creators: name: Ramzan, Ayyub Muhammadi
Publisher: name: SOAS University of London
Year: 1949

description: Aurangzib's character has been the subject of long and acrioionious debate; his character is not the concern of this thesis except in so far as it influenced the culture of his time. As his period does reflect a good deal of his influence it is necessary to know something about him in order to see how he could direct currents of thought and action. It is essential to look at the condition of learned institutions before and during his reign. He'was heir to a large empire, wielded autocratic power, and was endowed with great capability in certain directions; his contribution to culture could naturally be expected to be great, whether creative or directive, whilst in certain matters it might be obstructive. Attention has next been given to institutions existing and encouraged; to education, public health, design and art, the standard of general knowledge, and habits and customs, and finally to his nobles as the circle from which he chose his proconsuls and his officials nearer home. In a kingdom or empire where there is no foreign outlook, no connections beyond the boimdades, interests are limited; poetry and mysticism occupy much attention; the prose belongs to a more practical, busy age. The poetry of Bidil is mystic, but by attaching some importance to self as a nucleus it prepares the way for the constructive system of Iqbal at the beginning of 20th cent. But there were no famous writers of lyrical or romantic poetry in the period. Aurangzib's discouragement of these lighter styles was effective, and usually only sporadic and clandestine attonpts appear to have been made. In prose there are a few historical works, but the Emperor's early ban on history-writing precluded efforts in this direction. such works as exist tend to be overburdened with a florid style that makes them laboured and periphrastic. Restriction on freedom of expression and thought could hardly fail to find some manner of response, and the sarcastic writings of two authors were probably provoked by it. Aurangzib was a capable calligraphist; his artistic instinct, checked by religious dogma in certain directions, may have found satisfying scope in this practical art. Letter-writing may also have served a useful end in his self-expression; Bidil's a Letters and Shah Muhammad Qannauji's Insha-i jami' al-Qawanin are among the epistolary writings of the reign. A drama named Gulzar-i Hal has been traced , as having been translated into Persian from Bhakha in this reign.
title: Pali metre: A study of the evolution of Early Middle Indian metre based on the verse preserved in the Pali Canon.
Creators: name: Warder, A. K.
Publisher: name: SOAS University of London
Year: 1954

description: This is a study of the problems presented by the metres of the Pali Canon, seen in their historical setting as representing the Early Middle Indian phase in the evolution of Indian metre. During this phase, which is regarded as a turning point in the linguistic transition from Old Indian (Vedic) to Late Middle Indian (Apabhramsa), a number of new metres appeared, and an entirely new technique of verification was developed which differed in principle from the old Vedic technique. This new technique was adopted alike for Classical Sanskrit and for the Prakrit vernacular literature of the following centuries, and an understanding of it should enable us to obtain a better grasp of the metrics of these later phases of Indian literature. An attempt is here made to collect and assess all previous contributions to the study of the ancient metres and related subjects, and to show how these many different fields of study are interrelated and can thus be made to contribute to the elucidation of one another's problems. The language of the Canon presents many difficulties which have to be studied before we can tackle the problems of scansion, and at the same time the linguistic and metrical trends constantly interacted on one another. The most important feature of the new metres was their close connection with music, the study of which has proved to be indispensable in our research on the history of Indian literature. The changes in metrical usage provide perhaps the most decisive tests in determining the age of any document in verse (and even in prose composition the current metrical rhythms may be reflected). We should thus be able to reconstruct the history of the ancient literature without relying on subjective opinions, and establish a firm basis for our research on that most interesting phase of the history of Indian civilization which is marked by the rise and fall of the Empire of Magadha (500 B.C.-100 B.C.), and for the confused period which followed.
