The Image of Ibrahim Pasha in Early Modern English Drama: Thomas Kyd’s The Tragedy of Soliman and Perseda
No full textIn The Tragedy of Soliman and Perseda, Thomas Kyd tends to portray Sultan Suleyman’s reign in the context of
sixteenth century Ottoman - European relations. In the aftermath of Sultan Suleyman’s succession to the throne,
Ottoman Empire expands its borders towards European territories conquering strategic holds such as Belgrade,
Rhodes and Buda. Ottoman westward expansion increases cultural interaction between the Ottomans and the
Europeans. More specifically, Ottoman presence in the Mediterranean stimulates Anglo-Ottoman relations. As a
result of cultural interaction, the English playwrights frequently people their plays with Ottoman characters and
historical episodes. Especially Sultan Suleyman, called ‘Magnificent’ in Europe, is widely depicted on the English
stage. However, in this study, it is aimed to analyze Kyd’s Erastus character constructed on the historical figure
Ibrahim Pasha, since Ibrahim Pasha is regarded as one of the prominent figures of Sultan Suleyman’s reign.
Ibrahim, who is presented to the service of Suleyman in the years of his princely governorate in Manisa, becomes
Suleyman’s ‘favorite’ in a very short time. In the aftermath of Suleyman’s succession to the throne in 1520,
Ibrahim is conferred respectively honors of hasodabaşı, içşahincilerağası, grand vizier and beylerbeyi. Besides,
Ibrahim is endowed with privileges that were never granted to the prior grand viziers. Nevertheless, at the peak of
power and strength, he is summoned to the palace and executed. In Kyd’s play, Erastus is also presented to the
service of Suleyman as a war captive. They bound such an intimate relationship that Erastus is appointed to the
highest ranks in the government and granted with many privileges. However, he is accused of treason and executed
at the end of the play. Ultimately, this study aims to analyze the image of Ibrahim Pasha represented as Erastus
character in Kyd’s The Tragedy of Soliman and Perseda

IMPACTS OF EGYPTIAN SOCIO-ECONOMIC ENVIRONMENT ON DIETARY PATTERN AND ADEQUACY
No full textHealth and nutrition status including dietary adequacy are basic components of the human development and indicators for welfare in a certain community. The study focused upon how far a socio-economic environment would affect the dietary pattern and adequacy in Egypt. The current dietary pattern was compared with that before the economic reform adjustment, i.e. before 1986. Dietary adequacy of energy and protein was assessed to define the poverty line among urban and rural populations. The investigated changes in the socio-economic environment were income level, distribution, growth and price level by region; as well as demographic features of the household. Finally, the study discussed policy implications on both micro and macro level and provided recommendations to the decision-makers for how to secure adequate diet quantity-wise as well as quality-wise for poor categories and vulnerable groups among the Egyptian community.energy and protein intake, energy and protein requirements, Dietary Adequacy, Dietary Pattern, Income and Dietary Pattern, vulnerable groups, Income Distribution, Agricultural and Food Policy, Community/Rural/Urban Development, Consumer/Household Economics, Food Consumption/Nutrition/Food Safety, Food Security and Poverty,

Nonconventional Technology for Agricultural Development in Developing Countries
No full textThis paper concerns the economic assessment of a nonconventional technology to provide a cheap food and/or feed for many developing countries, using wasted resources, i.e. coastal arid areas irrigated directly with seawater to grow a halophyte crop(Salicornia-sos-7). It was cultivated for two successive years in Kuwait. The analysis showed that the harvested yield was 20 tons per hectare, which provided 12.42 MT of straw for sale and 1.7 MT of oil seeds for processing. Processed seeds of 1-hectare provide 425 kg of food oil and 1.1 MT of feed meal.Under Kuwait conditions, on per hectare basis, the total costs of production( fixed &variable costs)were 2903(investment costs), i. e. less than the current desert land reclamation costs in Egypt (1401 (variable costs)and 1588 (total costs of production).Under Kuwait conditions, the reached yield made a negative net farm income of 6.5% of the total costs of production. Under Egyptian condition, the same level of yield generated a positive gross margin of about 52% of the variable costs and a net farm income of 45% above the total costs of production. The ERR under Egyptian condition was 45% from investment in "Salicornia" production. Among several social benefits, such technology would introduce a much cheaper water resource. Under Kuwait condition costs was 1.2 cents/m3 of seawater, i.e. equivalent to 7% of the costs of brackish water production. Sheep-Hay Response Analysis showed that: At the current feed and livestock prices, to use salicornia hay is feasible up to 37% of the ration and the rest could be fulfilled from alfalfa hay. Cultivation of Salicornia at the wasted coastal area would save 1/3 of the berseem area in Egypt. This area could be devoted to produce 2000,000 tons of wheat. One hectare with livestock could provide sufficient livelihood for a family of five persons.Halophyte Crops, Seawater irrigation system, Salicornia as oil seeds crop, Scaling Up the experiments, Profit Margin, Production function, least cost Ration, Sheep fattning, Agribusiness, Community/Rural/Urban Development, Crop Production/Industries, Land Economics/Use, Livestock Production/Industries, Production Economics, Research and Development/Tech Change/Emerging Technologies, Research Methods/ Statistical Methods, Resource /Energy Economics and Policy,
External interventions and the duration of civil wars
No full textThe 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
Role of dairy buffalo in Egypt food security
No full textThe results showed that the average farm gate price of both milk and meat from buffalo was less than the average international market, but it was much lesser for milk than meat. Therefore, the development plan should focus upon raising buffalo milk productivity, particularly that milk price projection, as shown in the introduction, would reach 2.5 folds its current level due to speed demand increase and slow production growth.
Among the major targets towards raising milk productivity from the Egyptian buffaloes herd are the annual milk yield per milking head and the herd structure, particularly the proportion of milking herd in the stock. Although milk yield per milking buffalo has raised from 940 kilograms in 1990 to about 1402 in 2006, and at a higher annual growth rate of 2.5%, than the world average (2%), it was less than the comparable milk yield level of the world average. The world aggregate average reached only 1537 kilograms per milking buffalo in 2006, i.e. higher than the same year average of Egypt by 8.8%, (Table10), (Figure 1). Although the proportion of the milking buffaloes in the total herd of Egypt was significantly higher than the world average (Table 11) along the last two decades (Figure 2), it has shown a rate of decrease by about -0.6% a year. In addition, the optimum milking heads proportion in total herd structure should be 50%, (Mohammed Sharaf, Ibrahim Soliman & Ahmed Seleem, 1987). Accordingly as the percentage of milking buffaloes in the Egyptian stock reached 42% in the year 2006, such percentage should be raised by 19% above its current level to approach 50%. Therefore, if the development plan oriented the credit policies, veterinary care programs and feeding plan of buffaloes towards reaching the target improvement of buffalo milk productivity, the total milk production of Egypt would be raised by about 29%
