    External interventions and the duration of civil wars

    No full text
    The authors combine an empirical model of external intervention, with a theoretical model of civil war duration. Their empirical model of intervention allows them to analyze civil war duration, using"expected"rather than"actual"external intervention as an explanatory variable in the duration model. Unlike previous studies, they find that external intervention is positively associated with the duration of civil war. They distinguish partial third-party interventions that extend the length of war, from multilateral"peace"operations, which have a mandate to restore peace without taking sides - and which typically take place at war's end, or at least when both sides have agreed to a cease-fire. In a future paper, the authors will examine whether partial third-party interventions - whatever their effect on a war's duration - increase the risk of war's recurrence. If that proves true, then even if interventions reduce the length of civil war, they may do so at the cost of further destabilizing the political system, and sowing the seeds of future rebellion.Children and Youth,Peace&Peacekeeping,Post Conflict Reconstruction,Post Conflict Reconstruction,International Affairs,Post Conflict Reconstruction,Social Conflict and Violence,Peace&Peacekeeping,Post Conflict Reconstruction,International Affairs

    2. Scaphochlamys endauensis Y. Y. Sam & H. Ibrahim, sp. nov. (Figs. 3–4) Scaphochlamys endauensis resembles S. breviscapa but it differs in having a channelled petiole compared to the terete petiole in S. breviscapa. It also has a shorter bladeless sheath than S. breviscapa (6.5–10.5 cm versus 11.5–18 cm long). Type:— PENINSULAR MALAYSIA. Johor: Endau Rompin State Park, Kuala Jasin, trail to Gunung Janing Barat, 30–60 m, 9 August 2006, Y. Y . Sam, K. Apok & H. L. Kueh FRI 50204 (holotype: KEP!, isotypes: KLU!, SAN!, SING!). Rhizomatous herb, (20–)30–50(–70) cm tall. Rhizome 3–5 mm diameter when dried, creeping horizontally on or below ground surface. Successive shoots clustering together and forming loose clump of 1–3 leafy shoots. Bladeless sheathes 2–3, the largest 6.5–10.5 cm long, dark purple red or green, hairy, not persistent. Leaf 1 per shoot, base slightly swollen; sheath 1.5–1.8 cm long, edges thin, hairy or glabrous, not persistent; ligule small, densely hairy; petiole plus sheath 10–36 cm long, channelled, dark purple red or green, glabrous or hairy; lamina 15–26.5(–33) × 7.3–12 cm, narrowly elliptic to oblanceolate, base cuneate to attenuate, apex broadly acute to obtuse, adaxial surface glabrous, abaxial surface glabrous or sparsely hairy, densely hairy along midrib, hairs fine, long and appressed, pale green with reddish tinge on apex. Inflorescence 4.5–16.5(–19) cm long, green or red; peduncle 1–10(–12.5) cm long, hairy; rachis 2–7.5 cm long, compact, axis not visible, consisted of (4)6–13 floral bracts, bracts overlapping and closely appressed to axis. Largest floral bract (23–26)30–35 × 11–13 mm, boat-shaped, dark purple red or green, sparsely hairy, more dense along the edges and apex, thick fleshy, margin incurved but not overlapped, apex acute, pointed upright. Cincinnus with (3)4–7 flowers in each bract. First bracteole 12–21 mm long, narrow, 8–10 mm width when flattened, 2-keeled, hairy or sparsely hairy on upper half, apex acute or blunt; subsequent bracteoles reducing in size. Flowers (40) 46–55 mm long, white, except labellum. Calyx 8–12 mm long, ca. 2 mm width, tubular, hairy, split 3–5 mm unilaterally from apex, apex truncate or acute. Floral tube 28–32 mm long; dorsal corolla lobe 11–15 mm long, near triangular, edges inflexed, apex hooded, tip pointed; lateral corolla lobes 10–14 mm, edges inflexed, apex acute. Staminodes 8–12 × 3–5 mm, oblanceolate, apex broadly acute or near rounded, abaxial surface covered by glandular hairs. Labellum 13–20 × 10–17 mm, obovate, apex bilobed, cleft 3–5 mm from apex, abaxial surface covered by glandular hairs, yellow median band with or without purple streaks at both sides. Stamen 6–9 mm long, covered by glandular hairs on abaxial surface; filament 2–4 mm long; pollen sacs 3–3.5 mm long, basal spurred, dehiscing longitudinally; anther-crest 1–3 × 2.5–4 mm, apex trilobed or entire, extended and recurved. Stigma ca. 1 × 1 mm, funnel-shaped, hairy. Ovary 1–2 × ca. 1 mm, hairy, unilocular, ca. 2 ovules. Epigynous glands 2, filiform, ca. 5 mm long. Fruit ellipsoid, ca. 11 × 7 mm, wall thin, fleshy, near transparent, enclosed 2–3 seeds. Seed kidney-shaped, ca. 7 × 3 mm, covered with aril. Etymology:—The epithet ‘Endau’ refers to the Endau River and its tributaries that flow through the state park where the plants are most commonly found and abundant. Distribution and habitat:—Endemic in Johor, Peninsular Malaysia. Lowland dipterocarp forest, 25–370 m elevation, forest floor, level and undulating terrain, in shaded areas. Conservation status:—Near Threatened, NT. The species meets the area requirements under criterion B for Endangered (extent of occurence = 262 km 2 and area of occupancy = 16 km 2). However, the plants are commonly found and well protected in Endau Rompin State Park, a Totally Protected Area. Among all the known locations, only the populations in the Lenggor Forest Reserve are threatened by logging but this is unlikely to cause the species to extinct or becoming critically endangered in the future. Therefore, the listing is justified under the NT category (IUCN, 2012). Additional specimens examined (paratypes):—PENINSULAR MALAYSIA. Johor: Mersing, Gunung Janing, 20 October 1892, H. W .

Discussion:— Scaphochlamys endauensis is common on the forest floor of Endau Rompin State Park. Previously, the plant was wrongly identified as S. oculata Holttum (1950: 92). However, both are very different upon close examination, differing in the number of flowers in each cincinnus (S. oculata has 1–3 flowers in each cincinnus compared to 4–7 flowers in S. endauensis) and the distinctive coloured streaks beside the yellow median band on the labellum (S. oculata has bright red streaks but they are purple in S. endauensis). Scaphochlamys endauensis Holttum (1950: 95) is actually more similar to S. breviscapa. However, these two species are different principally in the cross section of petiole (channelled in S. endauensis versus terete in S. breviscapa) and the size of bladeless sheath (6.5–10.5 cm long in S. endauensis versus 11.5–18 cm long in S. breviscapa). In addition, the leaf sheath of S. endauensis (1.5–1.8 cm) is consistently longer than S. breviscapa (0.7–1 cm). Its lamina is elliptic to oblanceolate with broadly acute to obtuse apex and cuneate to attenuate base whereas S. breviscapa has elliptic to broadly ovate lamina with acute apex and rounded or cuneate base. Furthermore, S. endauensis has larger floral bracts (30–35 × 11–13 mm) as compared to S. breviscapa (20–30 × 7–17 mm). The staminodes of S. endauensis is oblanceolate with broadly acute to near rounded apex which differ from the linear ones with truncate apex in S. breviscapa. Both S. endauensis and S. breviscapa are found on the East Coast Range of Peninsular Malaysia. The mountainous range extends from northeast to south of the peninsula and at the central part, it is intercepted by large swamps (Raj, 2009). Scaphochlamys breviscapa is distributed in the Terengganu Highlands in Terengganu and Pahang whilst S. endauensis is found at the south of Peninsular Malaysia.Published as part of Sam, Yen Yen, Ibrahim, Halijah & Saw, Leng Guan, 2015, Four new species of Scaphochlamys (Zingiberaceae) from Peninsular Malaysia, pp. 21-34 in Phytotaxa 221 (1) on pages 24-27, DOI: 10.11646/phytotaxa.221.1.2, http://zenodo.org/record/477964

    Morphological and grammatical study of the fuctional derived nouns in the six anthologies by Sheikh Ibrahim Inyas / Ibrahim Shaaban

    No full text
    This research is a morphological, grammatical and analytical study on the multiplicity of the scale of five derived nouns and their formulas as used in the six anthologies (dawawin) of Senegalese Sheikh Ibrahim Inyas al-Kaulakhi, based on the chosen rulings, methods and context used by the author of the six collections. The research focuses and discusses on the subject noun, the accusative noun, the hyperbolic participles, the attributive participle, comparative/superlative adjective, and their scales and formulas, both standard and nonstandard, and the usage of their multiple meanings according to the methods employed in these six dawawin, including infinitive and augmented noun of three or four lettered origin, with grammatical rulings associated with alif and lam (al), as selected or chosen according to the usage of Sheikh Ibrahim Inyas al-Kaulakhi. In order to find out the context of morphological and grammatical methods, analyses were made that acquaint readers with the taste of Sheikh Ibrahim's ability in applying morphological and grammatical rules. Through extrapolation, the morphological and syntactic source of each derivative was separately traced in those six dawawin. In reviewing the morphological and syntactic language of those derivatives, books and the theories of ancient and modern linguists, according to consensus and contrast, were used in shedding light on each derived noun by studying the ancient morphological and syntactic sources according to the information and theories derived therefrom and made analysis thereon. In this regard, a morphological or grammatical context was established using a qualitative rather than quantitative approach based on which the research was conducted and its structure, sections and chapters arranged accordingly, with clarification and detailed analyses. Findings of this research have established the functioning of morphological structure and scales of the five derived nouns as well as the semantic meaning, application and usage of augmented derived nouns as dealt with in their grammatical rulings associated with the Arabic definite article - alif and lam (al), to enable them function in the past, present and future tenses, and what not. The research concluded with a revelation which is indicative of Sheikh Ibrahim Inyas’ ability and mastery of morphological scales and grammatical expertise as though he lived with and learnt from Khalil, Sibawayh, Ibn Jinni and Asma'i and their ilk
