An Analytical Study of Iqbal’s Poetry on Kashmiri Nationalism
No full textThe occupation, slavery and violence are against the nature and most notorious in the life of nations who are suffered from cultural, structural, physical and potential violence which badly impacted upon all five factors of human life activities i.e., economic, environmental, political, security and societal. Man has an instinct to fight against these psychological phenomenon slavery, occupation, subjugation and deprivation of rights which requires any forceful stimulus to revoke against injustice, violence and hostility. In Kashmir, just after the downfall of Mughals the alien rulers oppressed, made inhuman, harsh and authoritarian treatment with the Kashmiris by Afghans, Sikhs and in last by Dogras. Iqbal having Kashmiri family background remained worry about the poor and miserable situation and substandard living of the Kashmiris. The slavery, tortures and heavy taxes with deprivation for fundamental right, no authority, no liberty, and freedom were very famous in subcontinent. Iqbal raised his voice against subjugation and inhuman treatment with the Kashmiris and also inspired Kashmiris against brutality and slavery. The lightening words of Iqbal is still working as magical impacts in the feelings, emotions, thoughts and ideas of the Kashmiris and they stood against the Dogra illegal and injustice monocracy and undemocratic autocracy in Kashmir. The resistance of Iqbal during the accidents of 1931 gave birth to impressive freedom movement after the partition of subcontinent. This is an attempt to highlight the Iqbal specific poems and verses written on the misery of Kashmir and some lines for the motivations of the Kashmiris which resulted into strong inspiration against Indian illegal Occupation since last 74 years.</p

An intelligent computer-aided design system incorporating considerations for aesthetics and the environment
Full text linkAmidst intense competition, manufacturers are constantly striving to improve their competence with others. In this respect, aesthetics of the product has become one of the prime factors in capturing market share. On the other hand, ever increasing pressure from the public, customers and governments has forced manufacturers to take environmental considerations very seriously.
This study focuses on the development of an intelligent computer-aided design system in order to assist designers to design specifically on the basis of aesthetic and environmental considerations. The study began with an extensive literature survey. It was found that small volume of research work had been done in the topic of design for aesthetics whereas a substantial volume of research had been ongoing in the field of design for environmental considerations. Although the aspect of combination of these two factors of design was not fully investigated. So the project was understood to be a novel one.
To achieve the objectives of the research, two research surveys were conducted to gauge public viewpoint about the aesthetical attributes of the bottles of several consunler products. The first survey was conducted among Dublin City University (DCU)'s students and staff, and the second one among the residents of Dublin city and its suburb. The information obtained from these two surveys was used in the development of the design system. The design system consists of overall score & aesthetics advisor, simple material selection for bottles index, simple life cycle analysis and golden section ruler modules. The author created threshold values for the first three modules that work as benchmarks to judge the design in terms of aesthetics and environmental considerations. This novel approach of design and the software tool developed will be helpful aids to the designers to consider aesthetics and environmental aspects of design at the primary stage leading to faster product development and savings of money
ADVENT OF ISLAM AND ROLE OF SHAHMIR IN FOUNDATION OF MUSLIM RULE IN KASHMIR
Full text linkKashmir, a territory renowned for its Muslim majority, is seeing an increase in its Muslim population by more than 97% within the Valley. Although the entire state of Jammu and Kashmir was a rigid Hindu community for 3100 years with religiously race-discriminative divisions until the arrival of Baba Bulbul Shah and Shah-e-Hamdan in Kashmir. As from Hameem Bin Sameh to Bulbul Shah, Muslims were present but undominant, after the embracing Islam of Renchan Shah., Islam became the official religion of the state. Islamization was strengthened by Shahmir, purified, and modified by Shah-e-Hamdan. This paper explores facts about how Islam brought equality, justice, social harmony, ethical values, unity, brotherhood, friendship, and equality through the struggles of the Sufi saints and Muslim scholars. It unveiled the close knits with Central Asia that had consequences in the fields of art and craft, carpet viewing, wood and stone carvings, as well as many with skills. Kashmiris gained fame in the fields of art and craft and in Persian literature and soon emerged as “Iran-e-Sagheer.

Sustaining menstrual regulation policy: a case study of the policy process in Bangladesh
Full text linkBangladesh introduced menstrual regulation (early abortion) into its national
family planning program in 1979, and for more than 20 years women with unwanted
pregnancies have been able to avail themselves of a relatively safe and accessible
service. Over the years, however, concern has been expressed about deficiencies in
the implementation of the policy, and by the mid-1990s, the menstrual regulation
(MR) policy was approaching a critical juncture. The introduction of health sector
reforms and the waning of international and domestic support raised questions
regarding the sustainability of the policy. This study was conducted to determine the
factors that influenced the development of and support for the MR policy in
Bangladesh, in order to explore how far those factors might influence future
sustainability.
The study used an analytic framework based on literature from the policy
field to test what factors were important in the policy process in Bangladesh.
Qualitative data was gathered from interviews and documents in an inductive
approach to determine the development of the MR policy, which was then subjected
to a retrospective analysis of the entire life cycle of the MR policy-how it came to
be placed on the policy agenda, how and why it was formulated the way it was, and
why it was not implemented as well as it could have been. Data gathered from
interviews and document reviews were then used in a political mapping exercise
undertaken in a prospective analysis for the policy, providing insights in relation to
the future sustainability of the MR policy.
The research suggested that the analytic framework used was helpful in
providing a systematic analysis of contextual conditions, agenda-setting
circumstances, and policy characteristics that could explain much of the variability in
the policy process. The role of international donors and attitudes toward religion
were found to be particularly relevant to explaining the policy process. The study
concluded that the MR policy would likely not be sustained in the future unless
purposeful action were taken to mobilise additional bureaucratic and political
resources in support of the policy

Liberal theory and Islam: (re)imagining the interaction of religion, law, state and society in Muslim contexts
No full textWithin the global phenomenon of the (re)emergence of religion into issues of public debate, one of the most salient issues confronting contemporary Muslim societies is how to relate the legal and political heritage that developed in pre-modern Islamic polities to the political order of the modern states in which Muslims now live.
This study seeks to develop a framework for addressing this issue by drawing upon two sources. The first is an interpretative understanding of the history of Muslim contexts emphasising, in particular, the diversity of views about what Islam mandates that have always been a part of Muslim experience and the distinction between political and religio-legal authority that developed in practice in these environments. The second source is a variety of contemporary liberal theory which this study develops and calls ‘justice as discourse’.
The central argument is that liberal theory, and justice as discourse in particular, though it may have emerged in a different social and cultural milieu, can be normatively useful in Muslim contexts for relating, religion, law, state and society. It is argued first, that Muslim contexts are facing issues similar to those out of which liberal theory emerged. Additionally, it is argued that both Muslim contexts and liberal theory are dynamic and continually developing and that this shared dynamism means that there may be space for convergence of the two. Just as Muslim contexts have developed historically (and continue to develop today) the same is the case with the requisites of liberal theory and this may allow for liberal choices to be made in a manner that is not a renunciation of Muslim heritage
Global impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on subarachnoid haemorrhage hospitalisations, aneurysm treatment and in-hospital mortality: 1-year follow-up
No full textBackground Prior studies indicated a decrease in the incidences of aneurysmal subarachnoid haemorrhage (aSAH) during the early stages of the COVID-19 pandemic. We evaluated differences in the incidence, severity of aSAH presentation, and ruptured aneurysm treatment modality during the first year of the COVID-19 pandemic compared with the preceding year. Methods We conducted a cross-sectional study including 49 countries and 187 centres. We recorded volumes for COVID-19 hospitalisations, aSAH hospitalisations, Hunt-Hess grade, coiling, clipping and aSAH in-hospital mortality. Diagnoses were identified by International Classification of Diseases, 10th Revision, codes or stroke databases from January 2019 to May 2021. Results Over the study period, there were 16 247 aSAH admissions, 344 491 COVID-19 admissions, 8300 ruptured aneurysm coiling and 4240 ruptured aneurysm clipping procedures. Declines were observed in aSAH admissions (-6.4% (95% CI-7.0% to-5.8%), p=0.0001) during the first year of the pandemic compared with the prior year, most pronounced in high-volume SAH and high-volume COVID-19 hospitals. There was a trend towards a decline in mild and moderate presentations of subarachnoid haemorrhage (SAH) (mild:-5% (95% CI-5.9% to-4.3%), p=0.06; moderate:-8.3% (95% CI-10.2% to-6.7%), p=0.06) but no difference in higher SAH severity. The ruptured aneurysm clipping rate remained unchanged (30.7% vs 31.2%, p=0.58), whereas ruptured aneurysm coiling increased (53.97% vs 56.5%, p=0.009). There was no difference in aSAH in-hospital mortality rate (19.1% vs 20.1%, p=0.12). Conclusion During the first year of the pandemic, there was a decrease in aSAH admissions volume, driven by a decrease in mild to moderate presentation of aSAH. There was an increase in the ruptured aneurysm coiling rate but neither change in the ruptured aneurysm clipping rate nor change in aSAH in-hospital mortality.
