    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

    Biochemical Characterization, Antifungal Activity, and Relative Gene Expression of Two <i>Mentha</i> Essential Oils Controlling <i>Fusarium oxysporum</i>, the Causal Agent of <i>Lycopersicon esculentum</i> Root Rot

    Tomato (Lycopersicon esculentum Mill.) is important food in daily human diets. Root rot disease by Fusarium oxysporum caused huge losses in tomato quality and yield annually. The extensive use of synthetic and chemical fungicides has environmental risks and health problems. Recent studies have pointed out the use of medicinal plant essential oils (EOs) and extracts for controlling fungal diseases. In the current research, Mentha spicata and Mentha longifolia EOs were used in different concentrations to control F. oxysporum. Many active compounds are present in these two EOs such as: thymol, adapic acid, menthol and menthyl acetate. These compounds possess antifungal effect through malformation and degradation of the fungal cell wall. The relative expression levels of distinctly upregulated defense-related WRKY genes (WRKY1, WRKY4, WRKY33 and WRKY53) in seedling root were evaluated as a plant-specific transcription factor (TF) group in different response pathways of abiotic stress. Results showed significant expression levels of WRKY, WRKY53, WRKY33, WRKY1 and WRKY4 genes. An upregulation was observed in defense-related genes such as chitinase and defensin in roots by application EOs under pathogen condition. In conclusion, M. spicata and M. longifolia EOs can be used effectively to control this plant pathogen as sustainable and eco-friendly botanical fungicides

    Leverage of lysozyme dietary supplementation on gut health, hematological, antioxidant, and immune parameters in different plumage-colors Japanese quails

    No full text
    The current study was conducted on two different feather-colored Japanese quail varieties (brown and white) to examine the impact of lysozyme (LZ) dietary supplementation on growth performance, hematological profile, serum lysozyme, phagocytic and antioxidant activities, along with the gut status and the relative expression of some antioxidant- and immune-related genes. Two forms of LZ; extracted from egg white (natural LZ (NLZ)), and the commercial LZ (CLZ) were included in this experiment. For each quail variety, 240 birds were randomly allocated into four groups with four replicates per group. The first group (control) ate the basal diet (BD) only. The other groups ate the BD supplemented with commercial lysozyme (CLZ, at 100 mg/kg diet), NLZ at 100 (NLZ1) and 200 (NLZ2) mg/kg diet. Different LZ treatments differentially modulated the quail's growth performance with significant increases in the final body weight of white-feathered quails fed the NLZ1 compared to other treatments. The NLZ2 and CLZ noticeably increased the total antioxidant activity (TA) in the white- and brown-feathered quails, respectively. Also, all LZ groups displayed distinct increases in the serum lysozyme and phagocytic activities. For gut status, both varieties exhibited increases in intestinal villi length and goblet cell count with significant reductions in the total lactobacillus, total coliform, and total bacterial counts. These effects were linked with marked modulations of SOD, CAT, GPX, andIL-1βgene expression levels in both quail varieties. Therefore, the LZ could differentially impact quail growth, immune and antioxidant status as well as gut health

    The impact of dietary lysozyme (LZ) supplementation on the growth and laying performance was investigated over 4 weeks of growing and 6 weeks of laying periods in two different plumage color (white and brownfeathered) Japanese quail varieties. For each variety, 240 birds were randomly assigned into four groups with four replicates for each group. The first group (control) was fed a basal non-supplemented diet (BD). Whereas the 2nd, 3rd, and 4th received the BD supplemented with commercial LZ (CLZ) at 100 mg/kg diet, and natural LZ (NLZ) at 100 and 200 mg/kg diet, respectively. The main findings included significant increases in body weights and gains in the white-feathered quails supplemented with NLZ1 compared to the control and NLZ2. However, there were no significant differences in the case of brown-feathered quails in all LZ supplementations. Moreover, the different dietary LZ lowered FI in both quails with the lowest intake observed in the brown-feathered quails. Accordingly, enhanced FCR was reported in the CLZ groups for both quail varieties and in NLZ1 and NLZ2 for the white-feathered and brown-feathered quails, respectively. In both quail varieties, the NLZ2 significantly lowered serum creatinine and urea and increased albumen and globulin levels compared with other groups. Histologically, the best hepatic histological features were found in both quail’ varieties fed the NLZ1-supplemented diet. Accompanying LZ-induced modulations in the expression levels of GHR, IGF-1, leptin, CCK, FAS, and ACC genes in both quail varieties were reported. Besides, both quail varieties in NLZ1&amp; NLZ2 supplementation exhibited significant increases in hen day egg production, egg weight, egg mass, and hatchability percentages along with differences in external and internal egg qualities compared with LZ-free diet or CLZ. Therefore, NLZ could be used as an effective feed supplement to enhance the growth and egg performance of Japanese quail with caution being drawn to the supplementation dose about quail variety

    No full text
    Doktora TeziBu araştırma, Arap ve İslam kültür mirasına katkı sağlamak amacıyla, şair İbrahim el-Antaki'nin (H. 926-M. 1520) "Burhanu'l-Burhan" adlı divanının yazma nüshasını incelemektedir. Başka bir eseri bulunmayan ve çok tanınmayan yazarın bu eseri, araştırmacılar ve muhakkikler tarafından yeterince ele alınmamıştır. Yazarın şiirleri dönemin toplumsal yapısını, halk kültürünü, geleneklerini ve karakteristik özelliklerini yansıtmasına rağmen, eser uzun süre yazarına atfedilmemiştir. Divan, dönemin toplumsal entelektüel seviyesini ortaya koyması ve günümüz kültürüyle karşılaştırma imkânı sunması bakımından önem arz etmektedir. Araştırmada bilimsel inceleme ilkeleri ve tahkik kuralları çerçevesinde yazarın biyografisi, eserin yazara aidiyeti, divanın anlaşılmayan kasidelerinin ve aruz vezinlerinin tespiti, divandaki aruz, dil ve gramer hatalarının tashihi ile şiirlerdeki Beyan ve Bediî sanatlarının özellikleri incelenmiştir.This research examines the manuscript of the divan named "Burhanu'l-Burhan" by poet Ibrahim al-Antaki (H. 926-A.D. 1520) in order to contribute to the Arab and Islamic cultural heritage. This work of the author, who has no other works and is not very well known, has not been sufficiently studied by researchers and scholars. Although the author's poems reflect the social structure, folk culture, traditions and characteristic features of the period, the work has not been attributed to its author for a long time. The divan is important in terms of revealing the social intellectual level of the period and providing an opportunity for comparison with today's culture. In the research, the following issues were addressed within the framework of scientific examination principles and investigation rules: the author's biography, the work's belonging to the author, the detection of the divan's incomprehensible odes and aruz meters, the correction of aruz, language and grammar errors in the divan, and the characteristics of the arts of Beyan and Bediî in the poems were examined
