Results on Expansion Maps in Fuzzy Menger Space via Property-(E.A) and (E.A)-like Property
No full textThe main goal of this paper is to establish two results in fuzzy menger space by using property-(E.A), (E.A) like property and occasionally weakly compatible mappings. Furthermore these results are justified with proper examples.These are generalization of the theorem proved by Diwan and others.
Islamization and judicial activism in Pakistan : what šari’ah?
No full textThe Islamization of Pakistani law started at the end of the 1970s under the stimulus of the executive and has continued in subsequent decades mainly through the judiciary. Increasingly, Pakistani High courts, and later on Islamic appellate courts, have applied uncodified šar†1⁄4ah principles to supplement and, at times, contradict codified law, particularly in the field of family matters and sexual crimes. On the basis of court records, the author reviews first, the religious sources referred to by the judges and, second, the implications of their religiously inspired “judicial activism”, with a focus on the interaction between the Zina Ordinance and the Muslim Family Law Ordinance. The author argues that the enforcement of Islamic laws has been traversed by two opposite tensions — towards systematization and complexity — and that a traditional discourse based on the nuances of fiqh can either improve or worsen women’s status depending on the sources referred to by the courts
Book review. An animal is not a human, or is it. Review of animals and society: an Introduction to human-animal studies by Margo DeMello
No full textReviews the book Animals and Society: An Introduction to Human-Animal Studies by Margo DeMello. This book provides an accessible introduction to the diversity of ways in which animals influence how humans think and act, both through our direct, or indirect, relations with actual animals themselves or our symbolic representations of them. The content ranges across and within disciplines as disparate as literature studies, ethology, and social and cognitive psychology. DeMello links the multidisciplinary nature of the field of human-animal interactions into the interdisciplinary subject of anthrozoology, illustrating ideas and knowledge through diverse perspectives, thereby providing insight into approaches taken by different disciplines and enabling the reader to consider new and future avenues for research. Whilst primarily using a U.S. perspective of human-animal interactions, the author draws on international research. Overall a well-written, though not always fully referenced, work, this book engenders critical debate and reflects the burgeoning state of this fascinating field of study.<br/

Presentation of Space in E.A. Poe's Horror Stories
No full textIntroduction. The article is devoted to the consideration of the category of space in E.A. Poe's prose. On the example of horror stories, the role of artistic space in the author's linguistic picture of the world is determined and its key structural and semantic characteristics are revealed. The relevance of the research is connected with the growing interest in the ways and means of conceptualizing reality in a literary text, to the problems of the artistic genre and to the specifics of the author's idiostyle.Methodology and sources. The main research methods are semantic analysis, which consists in determining the key binary spatial oppositions, and functional-stylistic analysis, focused on identifying ways and means of representing artistic space in the works of E.A. Poe. The empirical basis of the study was stories written in the genre of horror literature: “The Masque of the Red Death”, “The Pit and the Pendulum”, “William Wilson”, “The Fall of the House of Usher”, “Berenice”, “The Cask of Amontillado”, “The Oval Portrait”.Results and discussion. During the analysis, it was found that in E.A. Poe's stories, the representation of space is based on the inseparable relationship of its objective description by the author with his subjective perception of the hero/narrator and is characterized by an abundance of emotionally evaluative and perceptual vocabulary that verbalizes a large range of anxiety states. To the significant techniques of spatial modeling in the stories of E.A. Poe should be attributed to the polarization of space, realized in texts through semantic binary oppositions “open-closed”, “inside-outside”, “top-bottom”, as well as its deformation and hyperbolization.Conclusion. Space appears in E.A. Poe's stories as the most important parameter of conceptualization of reality. The surrounding world in the author's horror literature is inseparable from the images of Gothic literature, which is expressed not only in the use of the chronotope “castle”, in a number of texts transformed into the chronotope “bad house”, but also in the implementation of its motivic complex
Land management (specifically controlled heather burning) as a factor controlling carbon loss from upland peat soils
No full textPeatlands contain a significant proportion of the worlds’ total soil carbon, and are
commonly assumed to serve as carbon sinks. There is however increasing evidence of
carbon loss from peat soils, and DOC concentrations in UK rivers have increased
markedly over the past three decades. Numerous drivers for increasing DOC release
have been proposed but to date the potential role of land management has not been fully
explored.
This study examines the potential effects of land management on DOC production and
release from upland peat for a series of catchments in the South Pennines and North
Yorkshire Moors. Spatial variability in drainage DOC concentration was examined in
50 small headwater catchments (<3 km
2
) and nine reservoir catchments (1.5-21 km
2
). A
subset of the reservoir catchments was further examined through time to establish any
relationship between land management and DOC.
Of the factors assessed, representing all combinations of soil type and land use, the
proportion of new vegetation burn on blanket peat was consistently identified as the
most significant predictor of spatial variation in DOC concentration. Significant
relationships were identified between both temperature and sulphate deposition and
longer-term DOC concentrations, but no interaction or cumulative effect of these two
factors was shown. In contrast, the area of new burn on blanket peat explains more than
twice the degree of variance in DOC over the same period. For catchments where no
change in the area of new burn was determined, drainage DOC increases were minimal.
This study demonstrates that land management activities are important landscape-scale
drivers of DOC concentration. Exposed peat surface following burning may be altering
peat hydrology and improving conditions for microbial activity and enhanced DOC
production. Land management therefore has significant consequence for water utilities
facing increased costs of treatment and also for the conservation of blanket bog and
blanket peat ecosystems currently managed by fire
