    The Economics concepts in Razia Fasih Ahmad’ s novel “Abla Pa”

    No full text
    Razia Fasih Ahmad is an award- winning author with more than twenty books, from biographies to novels, published in the Urdu language. In this novel “Abla Pa” she presented economic concepts with reference to the city of Lahore as well as the wealthy, non –rich and northern region. For almost three decades of Pakistan , national and religion values were in decline and economic misery. At that time people were wealthy,who hid their identities and wore fake faces.in this novel, she presented the economic situation after the establishment of Pakistan. This article provides an overview of the economic concepts contained in novel “Abla Pa”.

    Orality/aurality and voice of the voiceless mother in Abla Farhoud’s "Happiness has a slippery tail" /

    No full text
    The problem of the representation of the mother’s voice and the maternal perspective in literary fiction has been a concern of contemporary scholarship in women’s writing for several decades. This chapter explores the literary representation of the voice and the perspective of a seemingly voiceless migrant mother who is silent in the language of the host country through the novel Happiness Has a Slippery Tail (1998) ( Le bonheur a la queue glissante ) by the Canadian Quebecois author of Lebanese origin, Abla Farhoud. This chapter demonstrates that in terms of literary representation of the mother’s voice, matrifocal migrant women’s writing relies on the orality of the mother’s voice to articulate the experience of mothering across the language barrier. It argues that the novel tells the story of a marginalised migrant mother in two voices: the aural voice of a marginalised mother who is voiceless in French and in writing (she is illiterate) and that of a French-educated writer daughter who understands the quality of the mother’s voice in Arabic. In this way the voice of the silent mother can be heard by the Western readership, and her perspective inscribed in the Western literary tradition

    In this paper, the author examines the figures of speech used in Somali poetry, in particular he categorizes seven tropes which are specific for Somali culture and society.Qoruhu wuxuu maqaalkan ku lafagurayaa adeegsiga hadalka maldahan ee maansada soomaaliyeed, gaar ahaan wuxuu doonayaa in uu abla-ableeyo toddoba balaaqo oo u gaar ah bulshada iyo dhaqanka soomaaliyeed.In questo articolo, l'autore analizza l'utilizzo delle figure retoriche nella poesia somala, in particolare vuole classificare sette tropi specifici per la società e la cultura somale

    Forest recovery trends following an unprecedented mountain pine beetle outbreak in the southern Rocky Mountains

    No full text
    2022 Spring.Includes bibliographical references.Following the mountain pine beetle (MPB) outbreak in the early 2000s in the southern Rocky Mountains, questions remain about what the structure and composition of lodgepole pine forests will look like as they recover. I used Forest Inventory and Analysis data collected by the US Department of Agriculture Forest Service, together with hierarchical cluster analysis, to separate 626 subplots into unique forest type groups based on their post-outbreak overstory and understory stand structure and composition. The subplots had all been dominated by lodgepole pine in the overstory prior to the outbreak and had all experienced at least 10% basal area mortality. I verified the forest type groups through multi-response permutation procedures and characterized them through indicator species analysis. I used a random forest analysis to determine how a suite of abiotic and biotic variables were predictive of the forest type groups. Post-outbreak stands separated into five forest type groups. These groups all remained dominated by lodgepole pine in the overstory but had differing understory structures and compositions. Naming conventions for the groups were based on their "overstory/understory" dominance. The five forest type groups were lodgepole pine/lodgepole pine saplings (PICO/PICO.saps), lodgepole pine-subalpine fir/subalpine fir (PICO-ABLA/ABLA), lodgepole pine/sparse understory (PICO/Sparse), lodgepole pine/lodgepole pine seedlings (PICO/PICO.seeds), and lodgepole pine/quaking aspen (PICO/POTR). The six variables with the highest relative importance in predicting forest type were (in order) overstory basal area mortality, precipitation as snow, maximum July temperature, pre-outbreak basal area, pre-outbreak stand age, and precipitation as rain. Each of the five forest type groups varied in their probability of occurrence along gradients of the top six predictor variables. For example, the PICO/PICO.saps and PICO/Sparse groups were most likely to occur where basal area mortality was low, the PICO-ABLA/ABLA group was most likely to occur where basal area mortality was moderate to high, and the PICO/PICO.seeds and PICO/POTR groups were most likely to occur where basal area mortality was very high. Overall, my results suggest that as southern Rocky Mountain lodgepole pine forests affected by the MPB outbreak recover in the near-term, they will remain dominated by this species. However, they will have more structural and compositional diversity owing to a high degree of heterogeneity in abiotic and biotic factors, which will likely shape longer-term outcomes

    The effect of reuse of water for agriculture on the Arab-Asian society :

    No full text
    In order to try to insure the efficient transfer of wastewater reuse technology into the society, the author sets up an interdisciplinary model for approaching this development problem. This approach is based on an important new conception of the term development. In this study, the author has redefined development as the on-going interaction process between water (other resources), society (demographic, socio-economic, and social organization), environment (pollution), and technology. In other words, water adequacy, its technological solution and impact, is viewed as an interdisciplinary problem, built into the ongoing system of interaction in the development process.This dissertation then postulates the potential social impact of wastewater reuse technology for irrigation programmed from the start to overcome societal constraints. It perceptually compares two alternative futures in the development process for the region: (1) The future development process without wastewater reuse as extrapolated from the present on-going interaction process, and (2) an alternative future with wastewater reuse derived from the present on-going interaction process. To substantiate these impacts the author uses two historical scenarios from the U.S.A. and Mexico and the Delphi-technique. The impacts are conceptualized as two dimensional: (1) The societal constraint resolution, and (2) the resultant social impact.Because of the continuing changes in the society and the demand of development, the arid countries of the Arab-Asian region face a serious water shortage problem. This dissertation analyzes the problem projecting the likelihood of it solution in view of the current trends as well as the technological measures used in dealing with it. Then this study offers an alternative solution in the technology of wastewater reuse for agriculture, a rich source of water that is currently being wasted in the region.This study establishes that wastewater reuse technology will have beneficial impacts on social concerns in the region and that successful diffusion of the technology depends on putting high priority on resolving societal constraints at the rural level in the programming of that technology. In other words, water problem in the region is an integral part of a system of interaction in the development process
