    No full text
    Psychological violence, particularly against women, has detrimental effects on mental health. Political leaders must prioritize initiatives to address this issue and empower survivors of gender equality and social justice. By integrating the principles of justice and equality into political agendas, societies can foster gender equity and protect the rights and dignity of individuals. This study examines the impact of psychological violence on social cohesion and its ramifications on political stability. Using a comprehensive mixed-methods approach, this study explored gender dynamics, the impact of psychological violence, and political involvement. Conflict theory is used to understand how psychological violence exacerbates social and political tension. This study found that political intimidation threatens democratic norms and social cohesion. Recognizing these distinctions is crucial for crafting targeted interventions and policies to mitigate the belongings of psychological strength, foster social consistency, and safeguard administrative stability in an interconnected world

    Ambiguity and Technique in Three NOvels by Graham Greene

    No full text
    Graham Greene's complex protagonists remain sympathetic before the reader in spite of serious flaws. They are not "good" or "bad" characters, but simply human; their wrong actions become mixed with ambiguous motives, and the reader is left with more questions than answers. It is a careful technique by which the author creates such ambiguity around his protagonists. Greene's choices in narrative style show the protagonists' motives and actions from many different perspectives; thus he avoids the "easy" answers. The same narrative style, however, gives the reader a unique and intimate perspective from which to view the protagonists, resulting in the relationship which enables the reader to see, in Scobie's words, the heart of the matter. As a result, the reader discovers that there is much good in a character with immense problems and withholds judgment on even the worst offender. Though ambiguous in many ways, the protagonists are accepted as simply human. This study attempts to examine the ambiguity of Greene's protagonists and the technique that lies beneath it.Master of Arts (MA

    The Impact of Foreign Aid on Income Inequality: Evidence from Developing Countries. Application of the FMOLS Approach

    No full text
    The present study aims to evaluate the impact of foreign assistance on income inequality of selected developing economies. Panel co-integration technique is applied for the purpose of estimation. After confirming the pre-conditions for cointegration, we have applied the Fully Modified-OLS method to estimate the association between foreign aid and income inequality. Controlling for other variables, we find a positive and significant association between foreign aid and inequality. The empirical results are robust concerning the sub-samples of developing economies selected according to the income classification of the World Bank. The empirical results are also robust concerning the alternative measure of income inequality

    A Variant Edition of Henry James's The Wings of the Dove

    No full text
    Many pages appear darker than others because of necessary rescanning.In 1908, Henry James prepared a revised version of The Wings of the Dove {1902) as part of the New York Edition of his works. Despite the notoriety of James's habit of revision, and despite the high critical status of the novel as one of James's major works, no scholarly edition of the novel exists. This study attempts to supply such an edition by presenting the text of the first printing of The Wings of the Dove, together with a complete list of substantive variants in the two other editions supervised by the author. There are three forms in which the text of The Wings of the Dove is available: the first American edition (Scribner's, 1902); the first English edition (Constable, 1902); and the New York Edition (Scribner's, 1909). This study refers to these three editions as A, C and N, respectively. The history of the text shows that A, while the first to be published, is not the first printed; moreover, it lacks some of the final corrections which James made in his proofsheets of C. Hence, C, the first text to be printed and the one which contains all of his corrections of 1902, has been chosen as the copy-text for this edition. In addition to a brief discussion of the textual variants, the introduction to this edition presents all the available authorial aids to understanding the novel. Acomplete history of James's composition and publication of The Wings of the Dove, from his first Notebook entries of 1894 to the revision of the novel in 1908, is reconstructed here from published and unpublished letters of the period. A section devoted to analysis of James's epistolary comments on the novel and of his one published critique, the Preface to the New York Edition of The Wings of the Dove_, reveals inconsistencies which are ultimately related to the long and intermittent period over which the novel was composed. Finally, examination of some of James's revisions leads to the conclusion that most of the substantive variants are stylistic in effect, but that the remainder clarify or add to the meaning of particular passages. The text of the first English edition of The Wings of the Dove (C) is reproduced here as this edition's reading text. The correct forms of misprints in C are given in the lateral margins. The substantive variants in A and Nare listed in the lower margins of the pages on which the orginal text appears. This variant edition presents, for the first time, and in convenient form, all the authorial versions of the text of The Wings of the Dove.Doctor of Philosophy (PhD

    Daily dataset of oil prices and stock prices for the top oil exporting and importing countries from the region of Asia

    No full text
    This data presented in this article is specifically employed from the Asian region based on the top position in the list of oil exporting and oil-importing countries around the world. Asia as the biggest continent on the earth had high consumption of energy {[}1]. Here we employed the daily prices of crude oil and seven oil trading countries, out of which three are oil exporting (Saudi Arabia, United Arab Emirates, Iraq) and four are oil-importing countries (China, Japan, South Korea, India), from the time period of 1-09-2009 to 31-08-2018. The data is collected from an authentic database Bloomberg. This data is related to the research paper ``Volatility spillover impact of world oil prices on leading Asian energy exporting and importing economies' stock returns. Energy, 188 (2019), 116002, https://doi.org/10.1016/j.energy.2019.116002 {[}2]{''}. This data is useful to compare the oil prices impact on the leading oil trading countries and also compare a set of countries affected most by oil prices' fluctuations, oil-exporting countries or oil-importing countries. Since this data covers the period of latest oil-crisis, so the impact of oil-crisis could also be analysed. (C) 2019 The Author(s). Published by Elsevier Inc

    The Concept of networking and storage had been introduced in the world decades before and thus gives us opportunity to share, store and disseminate the information among different people from different destination regardless of the transmission technology used via computer networks. The readily available information brings very comfort to human society, but it also makes the data / information vulnerable to attacks and threats. In order to counter with such issues, some remedy have been implemented to secure the information in networking technology, one field emerges recently known as “Intrusion Detection System”. The field emerges from the Anderson’s paper which was released in 1984. Up to this time, researchers and security professionals were using firewalls and antivirus for securing information, but were not fully secure. For the same intrusion detection system came into existence. While implementing the intrusion detection system, the researcher and security professionals face lot of problems viz selection of appropriate intrusion detection system for an organization, reduction in false alarm rate and increase in detection rate. The thesis has made an attempt to cover the topics mentioned above. The thesis is divided in six chapters, in first chapter, the author tries to throw some light on the introduction of the intrusion detection system with motivation for taking the topic and the challenges faced in the recent intrusion detection system. The chapter also describes the contribution made by the author during the present study.Digital copy of Ph.D thesis.University of Kashmir

    The bard in Bharadwaj: Politics of transculturation in the cinematic adaptations of Shakespeare by Vishal Bharadwaj

    Cinema adaptations play a vital role in recreating the imaginations. When the author scripts his ideas into a text, again the text in converted into visual by the director, where he is both an author and an adopter. This paper investigates the three adaptations of Shakespeare by Vishal Bharadwaj – Maqbool, Omkara and Haider. It argues that the adaptations are transculturating Shakespeare in the Indian context and like Shakespeare was a cultural commodity propagated by British imperialism, Bollywood is a cultural commodity of the hegemonic discourse of Indian Nationhood. Thus, the paper aims to study if by transculturating Shakespeare, Bharadwaj dismantles the narrative of Indian Nationhood or if he merely reinforces it despite situating it in the uncomfortable margins that threaten it. Finally, the paper locates the struggle between the narrative of nationhood and the counter narratives on the body of the female subject and studies the leads in 10 100 Identity and Marginalisation in South Asian Literature and Media Shakespeare’s plays transculturated onto Bharadwaj’s screen in this ligh
