Role and Functions of Folklore and Mythological Elements in the Work of M. A. Sabir
Get PDFThe folklore and mythological traditions in the works of the outstanding poet-satirist of the late XIX — early XX centuries M. A. Sabir are considered in the article. It is noted that modern Sabirovology unites scientists from Azerbaijan, Russia and other countries who turn to the study of the poet’s works. The results of the analysis of a number of poetic works of Sabir, in which the author uses folklore and mythological elements as a technique that enhances the satirical sound of his texts are presented in the article. The author believes that Sabir, thanks to the inclusion of representatives of the demonic world (hortdan, damdabadzha, djinn, djann, Baba Yaga) among the characters, emphasizes the power of influence on people of belief in otherworldly forces, thus ridiculing inertness of thinking, unwillingness to develop, to keep up with progress. It is shown that Sabir creates realistic negative social types: money-grubbing, ignorant, etc. Special attention is paid to small folklore and mythological genres (curse, blessing, omen), which emphasize a person’s faith in the magical power of the word. It is noted that the study of folklore and mythological elements in the satirical works of Sabir has a perspective

Fables et contes en sabir : avatars, réussites, échecs d'un genre paradoxal
No full textMaghreb, from the end of the 19th century, saw the birth of a cultural production deeply rooted in its historical-geographical context. This production is characterised by a style and sometimes by contents that are essentially comic and mostly illustrate the colonial world of French Pieds-Noirs.
It is sometimes written in Pataouète, the Patois of the Algerian French, or in colourful variants of it; sometimes its language is a kind of creative and literary unilateral sabir, supposed to be the language of the colonial Other, which is mainly Arabic.
This idiom is very different from French but derives from it and it is, in essence, a French badly understood and badly spoken by less-educated Arabic-speakers in their interactions with French-speakers.
Besides being a telltale investigation on the identity of the person that signed the first and most important text in sabir as Kaddour (1898), this paper aims to give a contrastive analysis of essential features in different sabir texts, as well as to show the textual relationship between the roles of Author/Narrator and Hero, in order to allow their colonial nature and functions emerge
High Ni Levels in Soil Can Modify Growth Performance and Mineral Status of Wheat Cultivars
No full textNickel (Ni) contamination in soil is a widespread problem in this era of industrial development. Plant cultivars respond differentially to Ni contamination in soil. In the present study, we have investigated the effect of different Ni levels to the growth and mineral status of two wheat cultivars (Sehar-2006 and LU-26). Five different levels of Ni as NiSO(4)4H(2)O (0, 30, 45, 60, and 75mgkg(-1)) were applied to soil in the pots. LU-26 performed better compared to Sehar-2006 in terms of dry weight production and physiological parameters. LU-26 contained higher Ni in roots compared to Sehar-2006, but the Ni concentration in shoots of both the cultivars was similar. LU-26 translocated less Ni toward the shoot compared to Sehar-2006 indicating the exclusion of Ni from shoots and retaining it in roots by LU-26 as evident from bioconcentration and translocation factors. Contradictly, Sehar-2006 translocated more Ni from root to shoot indicating its tolerance to Ni. Ni increased manganese (Mn) in shoots of Sehar-2006 and LU-26 up to 60 and 30mgkg(-1), respectively. Ni decreased copper (Cu) and zinc (Zn) concentration in shoots of both cultivars, however Zn concentration in roots increased at all levels of Ni. LU-26 excluded Ni from shoots and Sehar-2006 accumulated Ni in shoots. The present study helps in understanding the process of metal uptake and distribution during the early growth stages of the plant and can signify overall potential of a crop for its exploitation on contaminated soils.Faculty of Forestry, Universiti Putra MalaysiaThe authors are thankful to Institute of Soil and Environmental Sciences, University of Agriculture, Faisalabad, Pakistan for providing the lab and field facilities to carry out this work.

Get PDFAuthor Rizwaan Sabir, as a then-MA student at Nottingham University, became known as one-half of the “Nottingham Two” following his arrest along with Hicham Yezza in May 2008. They were detained for six days without charge on suspicion of terrorism for the possession of a document titled the Al Qaeda Training Manual, which was freely available on the internet and from bookstores. Sabir had downloaded it from a US government website for use as primary source material in his proposed PhD research on armed Muslim groups. But Sabir’s arrest, detention, interrogation, and release without charge takes up only about one-fifth of the pages; the remainder covers subsequent events revealing the extent of the surveillance to which he was subject, and his increasing awareness of information held about him not only by the police but by a dizzying array of interconnected authorities

Prague 2025 Abstrakt Jednota a rozmanitost v Korintu: Raně křesťanské spory o význam pokrmů obětovaných modlám Tato práce rozvíjí a aplikuje metodu s cílem vyčlenit výroky vnořené do textu 1 Kor 8-10. Vnořenými výroky se rozumí ty výroky, které Pavel používá tak, jak je převzal od svých adresátů, a to jak z písemného nebo ústního pramene, použité doslova nebo citované volně. Ve starověké literatuře takové výroky nebývaly formálně uváděny, což má za následek, že moderní překladatelé a čtenáři často stěží dokáží určit, kde autor začíná citovat a kde zase vstupuje do textu sám. Tyto výroky jsou pak v práci kategorizovány jako původní Pavlovy nebo jako výroky jednoho ze dvou výrazných postojů, které v Korintě existovaly o pokrmech obětovaných modlám. Následně jsou analyzovány argumenty, kterými byl křesťan přesvědčován k tomu, aby se postavil k otázce pokrmů obětovaných modlám.

Sabir Rusetmkhanli his literary identity and national manner in his novels
No full textAzerbaycan Türkleri, tarih boyunca oldukça uzun bir süre bağımsızlıkları için mücadele vermişler, pek çok sıkıntı ile karşılaşmışlardır. Doğal olarak da Azerbaycan edebiyatı, yaşanan bu sıkıntılardan büyük ölçüde etkilenmiştir. Azerbaycan’ın şair ve yazarları, yaşanan olayları edebî eserlerine yansıtarak, gelecek kuşakların millî şuur sahibi olmalarında önemli bir rol üstlenmişlerdir. Azerbaycan edebiyatında, bu sahada çalışanlar arasında, Sabir Rüstemhanlı önemli bir yer tutar. Yazar, Azerbaycan Türklerinin millî bilinç kazanması sürecinde gerek sanat ve kültür gerekse siyasi alanda önemli çalışmalar ortaya koymuştur. Rüstemhanlı’nın “Ömür Kitabı” adlı eseri, onun millî duygu ve düşüncelerini özetleyen en önemli çalışmaları arasında yer alır. Yazar, roman türündeki bu eseri ile halkına, genç nesillere milli ve manevi duygular aşılamış, verilecek bağımsızlık mücadelesi açısından önemli bir ilham kaynağı olmuştur. Rüstemhanlı’ın eserlerini incelediğimizde, Türk tarihine, kültürüne ve edebiyatına ait birçok unsurla karşılaşmaktayız. Kendini genellikle şair olarak tanıtan Rüstemhanlı, esasen nesir alanında da önemli eserler ortaya koymuş çok yönlü bir yazardır. Onun özellikle romanları ilhamını tarihî olaylardan alır. Dolayısıyla bu eserlerdeki kahramanlar da çoğunlukla tarihî şahsiyetlerdir. Bu kahramanlarını çoğu milliyetçi düşünceye sahip, Türklüğü ile gurur duyan, eğitimli ve kendini geliştirmiş karakterler olup, Türk milleti için çalışmış ve bu yolda mücadele etmiş kişilerdir. Romanlarını yazmadan önce romana konu olacak zaman dilimi ve kahramanlar ile ilgili geniş çaplı araştırma yapmaya çalışan yazarın romanları, tarihe kaynaklığı ilke edinmiş bir nitelik taşır. Rüstemhanlı, romanlarında Türklerin geleneklerine, göreneklerine, âdetlerine ve ahlaki değerlerine önemli ölçüde yer vermiştir. Bu tez çalışmamızda, Azerbaycan edebiyatının önde gelen isimlerinden biri olan Sabir Rüstemhanlı’nın hayatı, sanatı ve edebî kişiliği araştırılmış, romanları ve romanlarındaki millî düşünceler incelenmiştir.Azerbaijani Turks have struggled for their independence for a long time and have faced many problems. Naturally, Azerbaijani literature was greatly affected by these problems. The poets and writers of Azerbaijan have played important roles in the fact that future generations have national consciousness by reflecting the events on their literary works.
In the literature of Azerbaijan, among those who work in this field, Rüstemhanlı's works have become more prominent. In the process of gaining national consciousness of Azerbaijani Turks, the author has made important works both in art and culture and in political fields.
Rüstemhanlı's “Ömür Kitabı” is one of the most important works that summarizes his national feelings and thoughts. With this novel work, the author instilled national and spiritual feelings to his people, young generations, and became an important source of inspiration for the struggle for independence.
When we examine the works of rüstemhanlı, we encounter many elements of Turkish history, culture and literature. Rüstemhanlı, who often introduces himself as a poet, is a multi-faceted writer who has put forth important works in the field of prose. His novels are inspired by historical events. Therefore, the heroes in these works are mostly historical figures. Most of these heroes are nationalist, proud of Turkishness, educated and self-developed characters, who have worked and fought for the Turkish nation. Before writing his novels, the novels of the author, who tried to do extensive research about the time period and heroes that will be the subject of the novel, have a principled origin in history. In his novels, Rüstemhanlı gave a significant place to the traditions, customs and moral values of the Turks.
In our study, we have investigated the life, art and literary personality of Sabir Rustemhanlı, one of the leading figures of Azerbaijani literature, and examined the National ideas in his novels
Gender and Public Spending on Education in Pakistan: A Case Study of Disaggregated Benefit Incidence
Get PDFIt is generally believed that education is one of the basic rights of every human being, irrespective of sex, age, creed, religion, etc. Moreover, the target of universal primary education cannot be achieved without female access to educational opportunities, which contains several external benefits. In addition, access to educational opportunities assumes prime importance for empowerment of women. However, inequalities in access to education between males and females can be found in many countries across the world including Pakistan. According to conventional wisdom, a combination of cultural, social, and economic factors are responsible for placing young girls and women at a serious disadvantage vis-a-vis access to school and the prospect of completing their education. This disadvantage can be altered through public policies including gender sensitive public spending on education. The above assertion about the role of public policy is based on the theory of public finance1, which demonstrates that public expenditure on education can affect the population in a number of ways, which has significant gender dimensions. For example, government spending on primary education is likely to generate more income for women than spending on universities, for the simple reason that there are relatively more women primary school teachers than women university lecturers. Moreover, these expenditures provide subsidized educational services, which is a form of “in kind transfers”. These “in-kind transfers” improve the current well-being of the recipients, and enhance their longer-run income-earning potential. They can be considered as both current and capital transfers to the recipients, and therefore can be termed as the “benefit incidence” of public spending. The main concern of this paper is to assess the gender dimension of the benefitincidence”. The tudy has two basic objectives. First and foremost, it aims to investigate which income group actually benefits from the government’s subsidized.
Sino-Iranian Strategic Partnership: Prospects and Challenges
Get PDFChina and Iran have developed mutual inter-dependence and bilateral cooperation in several fields. Though China and Iran are closer to sign 25 year strategic partnership, yet the final draft of the deal is being negotiated between the two parties. The expectations are high on Iranian side, however one or anotherway there are multiple factors associated with such developments. For instance; Chinese image in contemporary international system, US factor, international sanctions against Iran, Iranian perception and role in the region, and Chinese ambitious Belt and Road initiative is supposed to determine the depth and sustainability of this strategic partnership. This paper argues that the apprehensions attached to the deal are reflecting western perception whereas China’s interest are more economic/commercial and business oriented, thus limiting their cooperation in other fields. This paper addresses the prospects of these negotiations considering the impact of afore mentioned factors on the background of their relations, thus articulates challenges faced by both the parties for expected enhanced strategic partnership. The paper concludes that Sino-Iranian cooperation is not only confined to economic field rather expands to socio-cultural and technological fields as well, but this must also be viewed as part of China’s over all Middle East policy considering her economic might and investment posture through Belt and Road initiative.
