    Rokeya Sakhawat Hossain (1880-1932) was a feminist author and educator who remains an inspiration to all Bengali Muslim feminists. Below is an excerpt from her utopian novel Sultana’s Dream (1905), which depicts a society in which women rule. Sultana, an Indian Muslim woman, visits the utopian land called Naristan and converses with a woman called Sara who cannot understand the patriarchy she comes from

    Tourists’ mindsets and choice of adventurous holiday activities

    No full text
    People’s mindsets are considered vital since mindsets influence their behaviours. Surprisingly, research investigating how mindsets influence tourists’ behaviours is very scarce. The present study examines the effects of tourists’ mindsets on the choice of holiday activities in a scenario-based experiment. In a 2 × 2 study, which includes tourist mindsets (fixed, growth) and the perception of adventurousness (high, low) of the holiday activities, we show that mindsets influence the choice of holiday activities. Tourists who endorsed growth mindset tend to choose more adventurous activities, while tourists who endorsed fixed mindset seem to be indifferent. The implications for these findings for destination managers are discussed.</p

    SemEval-2020 Task 7: Assessing Humor in Edited News Headlines

    No full text
    This is the task dataset for SemEval-2020 Task 7: Assessing Humor in Edited News Headlines. The task’s dataset contains news headlines in which short edits were applied to make them funny, and the funniness of these edited headlines was rated using crowdsourcing. This task includes two subtasks, the first of which is to estimate the funniness of headlines on a humor scale in the interval 0-3. The second subtask is to predict, for a pair of edited versions of the same original headline, which is the funnier version.

    Key Note of PhD Case Report Engr. Md. Anowar Hossain, PhD student ID: 3820066 has been completed PhD requirement by sole-author PhD research & sole-author PhD publication, supervised by Professor (Dr.) Lijing Wang & Emeritus Professor (Dr.) Robert Shanks. Engr. Md. Anowar Hossain continued his full time PhD research, his full scholarship period PhD research at School of Fashion & Textiles, RMIT University, Melbourne, Australia. Md. Anowar Hossain faced conspiracy of life-threatening in Melbourne, directed, planned & critically executed by Professor (Dr.) Rajiv Padhye. Engr. Md. Anowar Hossain was able to present a complete PhD thesis for his confirmation of PhD candidature in 2020-2021. Professor (Dr.) Rajiv Padhye also announced ‘Nobel Nominee of Vice Chancellor, RMIT University on behalf of Martin G. Bean, Former Vice Chancellor, RMIT University. Engr. Md. Anowar Hossain successfully completed the requirements of his PhD (Fashion & Textiles) concentrated on color engineering, camouflage engineering and camouflage textiles. Engr. Md. Anowar Hossain also studied on criminology when he defended against official act of hidden life-threatening at PhD school. The life-threatening history was officially notified to Professor (Dr.) Alec Cameron, Vice Chancellor, RMIT University and whole concern of RMIT University, whole concern of Australian Community under Australian Quality of Research Framework. The PhD degree was accomplished under non-compliance harassment & motivation such as completed first milestone & second milestone without revision and negative comments under congratulation and positive comments, number of action & support-2, hampering PhD progress, verbal threatening & harassment in different way, continuous conspiracy of life-threatening of Md. Anowar Hossain, unethical executive suspension, psychologist bullying of PhD school, university connection with psychologist, immoral cancellation of PhD enrolment and forwarded to Victorian Ombudsman; reported to Victorian police station, reported to national security of Australia, reported to Australian Institute of Criminology, reported to Australian Federal Police, reported to country court of Australia, reported to high court of Australia, reported to supreme court of Australia, reported to Australian Bar association, reported to Australian education department, reported to Tertiary Education Quality & Standards Agency of Australian Government, Reported to Australian Competition and Consumer Commission, reported to international human rights, education ministry concerns, different related organizations, unable to fight with Australian court due to financial hardship, submitted to the Australian Honours and Awards Secretariat and submitted to nobel organization for nobel nomination about life-threatening of PhD candidate, Md. Anowar Hossain. Unfortunately, life-threatening/conspiracy of killing PhD candidate issue was intentionally converted to the cancellation of material approval for PhD research & PhD progress 2021, executive suspension-2022, psychologist bullying-2023 and cancellation of PhD enrolment-2023. A full scholarship payment was not provided to PhD candidate, a lot of research allowance was not provided to PhD candidate, a lot of time allowance was not provided to PhD candidate. The report was also forwarded to Professor (Dr.) Alec Cameron, Vice chancellor, RMIT University ([email protected]), school office and all concern delegate offices of RMIT University, Melbourne, Australia. Presently, Engr. Md. Anowar Hossain is seeking fund for legal support through Victoria legal aids, Department of home affairs, Department of education, Australia

    Emotional intelligence: how it influences tourists’ environmentally responsible behaviour

    No full text
    This study examines how tourists’ emotional intelligence (EI) influences tourists’ environmentally responsible behaviour (ERB). Moreover, this study also proposes a more parsimonious scale to measure EI. The analysis of 395 responses revealed a 16-item (instead of 33-item) EI scale–where four dimensions appeared. The findings show the relationships of those dimensions of EI with the dimensions of ERB. Perception of emotion relating to self positively influences civil, physical and persuasive action but not financial action whereas perception of emotion relating to others positively influences only civil and persuasive action. The impact of other tourists’ EI dimensions on tourists’ ERB is also divergent. These findings leverage literature by offering a parsimonious EI scale and by exploring the relationships between tourists’ EI and the dimensions of tourists’ ERB, which suggest tourism providers for reinforcing specific EI dimensions to promote tourists’ ERB.</p

    L. Merr.) Production under the Changing Climate

    Increasing ambient temperature is a major climatic factor that negatively affects plant growth and development, and causes significant losses in soybean crop yield worldwide. Thus, high temperatures (HT) result in less seed germination, which leads to pathogenic infection, and decreases the economic yield of soybean. In addition, the efficiency of photosynthesis and transpiration of plants are affected by high temperatures, which have negative impact on the physio-biochemical process in the plant system, finally deteriorate the yield and quality of the affected crop. However, plants have several mechanisms of specific cellular detection of HT stress that help in the transduction of signals, producing the activation of transcription factors and genes to counteract the harmful effects caused by the stressful condition. Among the contributors to help the plant in re-establishing cellular homeostasis are the applications of organic stimulants (antioxidants, osmoprotectants, and hormones), which enhance the productivity and quality of soybean against HT stress. In this chapter, we summarized the physiological and biochemical mechanisms of soybean plants at various growth stages under HT. Furthermore, it also depicts the mitigation strategies to overcome the adverse effects of HT on soybean using exogenous applications of bioregulators. These studies intend to increase the understanding of exogenous biochemical compounds that could reduce the adverse effects of HT on the growth, yield, and quality of soybean.Fil: Sabagh, Ayman EL.
