A Critique of the Correction of Nizamiâs Khamseh by Basir Mozhdehi Compared with Corrections of Vahid Dastgerdi and Moscow
No full textUntil now we have been familiar with several corrections of Nizamiâs Khamseh like Vahid Dastgerdi, Moscow, Servatian and Barat Zanjani but in recent years a new correction has been published by Samieh Basir Mozhdehi (reviewed by Baha al-Din Khoramshahi) whose first and second imprints were published by Dustan publishing in 1383 and 1388 respectively. Such correction has been done based on the so-called version of Saâdloo (due to the fact that this version has been found in a family with the very name) which belongs to eight century (A.H) and via contrasting with versions of central library of Tehran University, Vahid Dastgerdi and Russian Academy of Science. The author thinks that her findings and understandings of the verses, using the most correct variants (in her view), considering the rules of rhyme, styles of poetry, prosody and other rhetorical techniques, and using the version of Saâdloo as the basis of her correction have altogether made her correction more authentic and closer to the main version of Nizamiâs work.
It should be mentioned that although this correction is recent and could apply the results of new sciences besides having access to two authentic versions of Vahid and Moscow to provide a better work than the predecessorsâ, it is unfortunately one of the corrections with most mistakes and problems. While indicating to some verses in this correction and comparing it with the versions of Vahid and Moscow (that the corrector has acknowledged her correction has been contrasted particularly with these two ones), this research aims to show that such correction is not authentic. The important point is that, contrary to the words of author about paying attention to poetic styles and techniques, the reader finds out after close reading that unfortunately the corrector lacks sufficient knowledge about such rules and even the morphology and poetic space of Nizami
Summary of research results, management recommendations and farmer workshops from cacao agroforestry landscapes in Indonesia
No full textSoftcover, 17,6x25Cacao agroforestry systems are common in Indonesia, but differences in local management affect
biodiversity and related ecosystem services. Importantly, birds and bats alike strongly contribute
to biological pest control in cacao, thereby promoting yields and sustainable farming. Our findings
from many years of ecological field research, in close collaboration with Indonesian cacao farmers,
are summarized and discussed in this bilingual book, written in both English and Indonesian. It is
designed to communicate scientific information as well as to facilitate transdisciplinary discussions
and more biodiversity-friendly management in tropical agroforestry systems.
We consider this book as a tool to improve the collaboration of local communities, farmers and
scientists, as well as to improve the application of scientific knowledge in agricultural practice -
particularly in tropical land use areas.

Social capital and inequality in immigrant entrepreneurship: pathways and barriers
No full textImmigrant entrepreneurs who belong to marginalized populations face significant financial, social, cultural, and legal barriers (Hernandez, 2024). While founding and sustaining a new business is not an equal experience for all (Guzman & Kacperczyk, 2019), entrepreneurship offers marginalized people a pathway to greater economic inclusion and social mobility (Min & Bozorgmehr, 2003; Hwang & Phillips, 2023; Rider et al., 2023). Furthermore, despite the risks associated with new enterprises, immigrants are more likely than their native-born counterparts to become entrepreneurs (Kerr & Kerr, 2020). Considering this evidence, entrepreneurship has the potential to offer marginalized immigrants a pathway to economic inclusion and social mobility. As organizational scholars and members of an unequal society with growing anti-immigrant sentiment, it is crucial to investigate the mechanisms that could reduce barriers to entrepreneurial entry and growth for marginalized immigrants. The literature on social capital identifies it as a powerful resource facilitating entrepreneurial success (Burt, 1992; Lin et al., 2001; Adler and Kwon, 2002; Samila & Sorenson, 2017; Portes & Sensenbrenner, 1993). However, in the context of immigrant entrepreneurship, the role of social capital is far from straightforward.. Immigrants, being foreign to the host country, often lack access to the social networks that facilitate entrepreneurial entry, especially in the absence of resource-rich ethnic enclaves (Portes & Stepick, 1985). Even when such networks exist, cultural norms or an overreliance on insular perspectives within these enclaves can limit entrepreneurial ambition and growth (Portes, 2014). Finally, first-order barriers such as marginalized identities may further constrain immigrants’ ability to cultivate resourceful social ties. This symposium tackles such intricacies in the literature to advance our understanding of social capital and inequality in the context of immigrant entrepreneurship. It will feature research that explores how social capital shapes inequities in immigrant entrepreneurship and examines interventions to mitigate these disparities. Key questions addressed include: a) Can social capital offset financial inequities that hinder entrepreneurial entry? b) How do multiple overlapping identities of people influence their engagement with entrepreneurial ecosystems and networks? c) What interventions, such as macro policy changes or digital tools, can reduce the social network-driven inequities faced by immigrant entrepreneurs?

No full textMythological Intertextuality in “Harry Potter and The Cursed Child” Special Rehearsal Edition
No full textThis thesis focused on the mythological intertextuality in “Harry Potter and The
Cursed Child” special rehearsal edition (2016). There are two objectives of the research
in this thesis, they are (1) to find out the mythologies intertexted in the novel and (2)
to see how those mythologies involved in the construction of the story to help building
it up.
This research used descriptive qualitative method since the main data’s source is
from the texts of the novel by J.K Rowling. In collecting the data, the researcher relied
on himself as the main instrument that collected them and then analysed them using
the basic concept of the theory of intertextuality by Julia Kristeva combined with the
common general definition of mythology forming mythological intertextuality.
The result of the research revealed that there are 18 mythologies that inserted by
the author into the novel which can be categorized: 4 objects, 5 characters, and 9
creatures.
Those mythologies involved in the construction of the story, which are theme,
characters, plot and setting. Most of the mythologies inserted by the author involved in
the character element since it covers up the mythological figures and creatures. It can
be seen that the author brought the mythologies combined with her creativity or another
external elements in arranging the story because the mythologies do not dominated the
element yet they have their participation in constructing it

The girl who wanted to stand-up in class and speak to her classmates
No full textThere are several factors that can lead to social anxiety disorder (fear of being judged or rejected), such as genetics, environmental factors, learned experiences, deficits in social skills, cognitive factors and/or culture. Considering all these factors, there are many people prone to develop social anxiety disorder in Afghanistan. In a recent study conducted at Herat University, it was shown that many students suffer from social anxiety disorder. The case described in this personal reflection concerns a student, who, upon assessment of her symptoms, the author diagnosed as having social anxiety disorder and provided several counselling sessions. After some time, positive results were achieved and the client recovered significantly from her disorder by the conclusion of the sessions

No full textGIS-based approach to participatory land suitability analysis for tree plantations
No full textTree plantations that use significant amounts of the government’s financial and human resources have been established in Indonesia. Unfortunately, the result has not been satisfactory. One of the primary reasons for this is that the government acted unilaterally in determining the locations and tree species planted, especially in production forest areas. To address this problem, the government has involved local communities in selecting locations and tree species through a “People’s Plantations” program.
In selecting planting locations and species to be planted, a number of physical, spatial, and socio-economic analyses have been conducted. Physical analysis helped identify potential land units suitable for plantation areas at different locations. In addition, spatial analysis using GIS helped determine the suitability of these land units based on the proximity of the land units to the roads, villages, and product markets or industries. Socioeconomic analysis indicated the locations and tree species preferred by the local community and other stakeholders, which were identified through interviews. Further, the selected tree and crop species were analyzed financially using Benefit Cost Ratio (BCR), Internal Rate Return (IRR), and Net Present Value (NPV).
The results of this research show that the local communities in villages have different preferences about selecting locations for tree plantations. These differences are due to the differences in the environmental conditions at each village. Likewise, the local community and non-community stakeholders have different preferences in selecting locations for tree plantations. The reason is that the non-community stakeholders ranked the characteristics of lands and weighted the criteria based on scientific assumptions, whereas the local community stakeholders ranked the characteristics of lands and weighted the criteria based on the environmental conditions and practical experience in and around the villages.
Furthermore, based on the aggregate community preferences and after applying the General analysis, i.e. the analysis used to either clean up small erroneous data in the raster or to generalize the data to get rid of unnecessary details for a broader analysis, the production forest areas in Banjar district were ranked according to priority for tree plantation locations. Priority 1 consists of 11 land units with a total land area of 37,027.90 ha (38.03%), Priority 2 occupies 43 land units with a total land area of 40,655.44 ha (41.75%), and Priority 3 comprises 32 land units with a total land area of 19,120.83 ha (19.64%).
Based on the interviews with the community stakeholders, prioritized tree species for the People’s Plantations program were determined to be rubber (Hevea brasiliensis) 100%, candlenut (Aleurites moluccana) 63.7%, coffee (Coffea sp.) 53.2%, durian (Durio zibenthinus Murr.) 46.8%, teak (Tectona grandis) 33.1%, and langsat trees (Lansium domesticum) 12.1%, while the non-community stakeholder prioritized rubber 97.5%, mahoni (Swietenia macrophylla) 52.5%, durian 45%, sengon (Paraserianthes falcataria) 35%, candlenut 32.5%, and teak trees 27.5% for the People’s Plantations program.
The matching results of the land units to rubber tree requirements showed that all land units are not suitable for rubber tree plantations. This is because some characteristics of the land units do not meet the rubber tree requirements. These characteristics are: (1) temperature regime (t) particularly annual average temperature, (2) water availability (w) especially the length of dry months, (3) rooting conditions (r) including soil drainage and rooting depth, (4) nutrient availability (n) specifically availability of phosphate (P2O5); and (5) terrain (s), particularly the number of rock outcrops.
Nevertheless, the local communities still considers the rubber trees as their favorite species for a tree plantation. The reasons for this are they are familiar with cultivating the rubber trees, they get income (cash) every day from the rubber trees, they have a shorter time to harvest latex from rubber trees than from growing other tree crops, and they also get cash from rubber wood at the end of rotation. In addition, based on the financial analysis, with a Social Discount Rate 12% per year, rubber trees are economically viable to cultivate either with a hired labor or with a community’s own labor system. With the hired labor system, NPV = Rp.80,989,226, BCR = 1.78, and IRR = 43.34%. With the community’s own labor system, NPV = Rp.176,044,446, BCR = 21.29, and IRR = 66.35%. The three criteria meet the feasibility condition which states that a project or an activity should “go” when NPV > 0, BCR > 1, and IRR > current social discount rate.
In addition, with the social discount rate 12% per year, the Hartman model failed to maximize NPV in rubber tree plantations with a rotation age 25 years either with the hired labor or with the community’s own labor system because until a rubber tree is 25 years old, NPV is still increasing, and this indicates that rubber trees provide significant income from latex. However, if the social discount rate is lowered from 12% to 7% or 8% per year, the maximum NPV (the optimum rotation) would be achieved when the rubber tree is 23 years old, and if the discount rate is lowered from 12% to 1% - 6% per year, the maximum NPV occurs when the rubber tree is 22 years old. Those maximum NPVs are only achieved if the income from the rubber trees is also lowered with the hired labor system. It is likely that the optimum rotation is affected by a combination of income and social discount rates.
The most profitable agroforestry system implemented by the local communities is the combination of rubber trees and ginger. However, the local communities also grow a combination of rubber trees and rice because rice is the main source of their staple food. In addition, the local communities grow a combination of rubber trees and peanuts to increase soil nitrogen fertility. The conclusions of this study are that the most suitable and profitable lands for tree plantations are the first priority areas and this study’s analyses indicate that they should be planted with a combination of rubber tree species and ginger to optimize profit.Item withdrawn by Laura Spradlin ([email protected]) on 2014-04-17T15:38:30Z
