Full textAbstract:
The authors report the rediscovery of the grass skipper Watson’s Demon Stimula swinhoei swinhoei from Riwai village, Meghalaya. The nominotypical subspecies found in India was last recorded 60 years ago by Cantlie from Khasi Hills, Meghalaya in 1956, and since then no records of this species have been found in the literature of the state. The authors recorded one individual of the species on 20 February 2016 while it was feeding on bird droppings adjacent to a hill stream in Riwai village, Khasi Hills, Meghalaya. The species might have been overlooked by past workers due to its similarities with Ancistroides nigrita.

Full textAbstract:
Soil characteristics are the result of the interaction of pedogenic elements and processes in a specific location. The hilly and mountainous regions are equipped with a diverse set of environmental elements that impact soil spatial variability. This research work is mainly focused on documentation of surface soil characteristics of East Khasi Hills. So many factors are responsible for soil erosion here and dominantly the anthropogenic activities. With the increase of population, changing land use patterns with unscientific manners is one of the ecological phenomena in Meghalayan landscapes. This causes heavy soil erosion especially their agricultural activity such as slash and burn process that makes the land very infertile. Data on surface soil characteristics or surface soil status has been collected from primary field surveys. Base maps were prepared related to this research work with the help of Q-GIS (version 3.6) software and statistical analysis was done using MS Excel 2013 on the basis of both primary and secondary database. Rain induced soil erosion associated with supersaturated soil matrix failure is the major attestation of soil erosion here. Authors mainly have tried to make some inferences towards the correlation of surface soil characteristics and erodibility of the soil.

Full textAbstract:
Living root bridges (LRBs) are functional load-bearing structures grown from Ficus elastica by rural Khasi and Jaintia communities in Meghalaya (India). Formed without contemporary engineering design tools, they are a unique example of vernacular living architecture. The main objective of this study is to investigate to what extent LRBs can be seen as an example of regenerative design. The term "regenerative" describes processes that renew the resources necessary for their function. Whole systems thinking underpins regenerative design, in which the integration of human and non-human systems improves resilience. We adapted the living environments in natural, social, and economic systems (LENSES) framework (living environments in natural, social, and economic systems) to reflect the holistic, integrated systems present in LRBs. The regenerative / sustainable / degenerative scale provided by LENSES Rubrics is applied to 27 focal points in nine flow groups. Twenty-two of these points come from LENSES directly, while five were created by the authors, as advised by the LENSES framework. Our results show 10 focal points in which LRBs are unambiguously regenerative. One focal point is unambiguously sustainable, while 16 are ambiguous, showing regenerative, sustainable, and degenerative aspects. User perspective determines how some focal points are evaluated. The contrast between a local, indigenous perspective and a global, tourism-focused perspective is demonstrated by the results.

Full textAbstract:
Variation in morphological characters were investigated among 136 specimens (128 specimens examined by us and eight specimens described in the literature) from 44 populations of the whole range of the pitviper currently known as Trimeresurus popeiorum Smith, 1937. Univariate and mul-tivariate analyses of these morphological characters allowed us to recognize six clusters of populations that are morphologically diagnosable, and that are here considered to represent independent lineages. Five of these clusters are considered to be distinct species following the Biological Species Concept and the Phylogenetic Species Concept. Two of them are described as new. Trimeresurus fucatus spec. nov. includes populations from southern Thailand and most of West Malaysia. Trimeresurus nebularis spec. nov. is described for populations from Cameron Highlands of West Malaysia. A population from Toba Massif, northern Sumatra, is referred to this complex, but cannot be assigned to a species at the present time. Trimeresurus popeiorum sabahi is raised to specific status, Trimeresurus sabahi new comb., to accommodate the populations from Borneo, whereas Trimeresurus barati new comb. includes the populations from western Sumatra and the Mentawai Archipelago. Separate keys to the two sexes of the recognised species of the T. popeiorum complex are provided.KEY WORDS: Thailand, West Malaysia, Sumatra, Borneo, Serpentes, Viperidae, Trimeresurus, Trimeresurus popeiorum, Trimeresurus fucatus spec. nov., Trimeresurus nebularis spec. nov., Trimeresurus sabahi, Trimeresurus baratiBefore the paper by Pope & Pope (1933), all green Trimeresurus species were gathered under the name Trimeresurus gramineus (Shaw, 1802). In a first step towards understanding the systematics of the genus, these authors split the nominal taxon gramineus into six species. The specific nomen gramineus was applied to a widespread species, ranging from northeastern India to western Indonesia. Indian populations were referred to a new species described as Trimeresurus occidentalis. Subsequently, Smith (1937) correctly showed that Pope & Pope (1933) misunderstood the type locality of gramineus, and showed that the type locality for T. gramineus was within the range of T. occidentalis. Therefore, Trimeresurus occidentalis Pope & Pope 1933 became a subjective junior synonym of T. gramineus (Shaw, 1802), leaving unnamed the distinct eastern taxon. Smith (1937) named it as Trimeresurus popeiorum. Unfortunately, he failed to designate a type specimen and a type locality for this new taxon. This interpretation was accepted by most subsequent authors except Hoge & Romano Hoge (1981) and Welch (1988). Another issue affecting the specific nomen is its spelling. Smith (1943) corrected the original spelling as popeorum on the basis that it was indeed a clerical error. This spelling was largely accepted, and was the subject of recent controversies. This problem will be addressed in another paper (David & Vogel, submitted). We consider that the correct spelling is indeed popeiorum. Eventually, Taylor & Elbel (1958), regarded as syntypes of Trimeresurus popeiorum Smith, 1937 all specimens referred by Pope & Pope (1933) to as T. gramineus, and designated the specimen BMNH 72.4.17.137 as the lectotype of the species. Consequently, the type locality was restricted to Khasi Hills, Assam , now in the State of Meghalaya, India.

Full textAbstract:
While other authors in this special issue analyze the nature of narrative theology, I highlight the narratives of the sisters of the Brahma Vidya Mandir ashram, a group of women followers of M. K. Gandhi (1869–1948) and his disciple, friend, and spiritual successor Vinoba Bhave (1895–1982), who came together in 1959 to form an intentional community with a spiritual purpose. One of the central practices of this community is spinning cotton that is then woven into khadi (hand-spun, handwoven cloth). From this khadi, they make their own clothing. Through a brief discussion of their use of khadi, I demonstrate how the theology of the sisters of this ashram is not a separate entity for them, rather it is the warp of the narratives of their lives; their choice of khadi is an example of the seamlessness between their theology and their narratives. As we examine their choice to use khadi, we can isolate and name some of their theological commitments. We can also identify important elements from their narratives that are applicable in multiple contexts. To this end, I conclude this article by imagining how the lives of the sisters of the Brahma Vidya Mandir might serve as a catalyst for change and engagement for us all.

Full textAbstract:
The authors of the essay endeavored to research facts from the military history of the Caucasian War that are related with Tashu-Hadji Sayasanovsky, a campaigner for the third Imam Shamil and a notable leader of the movement for gazavat and Sharia in Chechnya and Dagestan. The study’s major plot is associated with the examination of the legitimacy of the bladed weapon, the owners of which claim it to be a trophy saber of Imam Tashu-Hadji. Despite the local context of this his-torical event, the circumstances associated with the person of Tashu-Hadji naturally increase the collection value of the saber. Summarizing the information about the military campaigns in which Tashu-Hadji took part, the authors expressed their opinion about the most likely circumstances when the saber could actually fall into the hands of the Russian military. The paper pays special emphasis on the examination and analysis of the exhibit owners’ arguments. The authors conclude that, despite the verisimilar and plausible arguments, there are numerous inconsistencies and con-tradictions in the information about the saber of Imam Tashu-Hadji, which is stated by its owners. Thus, the authenticity of the attribution of this collection item is called into question. The article’s materials were published historical evidence, presented by memoirs of Caucasus conquest partici-pants, official correspondence of Russian military officials, works of military historians contem-poraneous with the events, and Arabic-language works of Caucasian Muslim authors.

Constructivism first appeared as a theory of economy by Carl Marx and then the linguists such as De Saussure and Focou. Furthermore, the development of the theory Originated from the works and views of the Russian Formalists, Prague Ring and New Criticism. The study is under the title of "Occupied Home in Kazhal Ahmed's poem 'Khasa Pigeon' and 'Rahimawa'" from a constructivist point of view. One of the most apparent basics of the theory is to work on the text itself rather than the author's life and his psychological, social, historical and ideological state. It only sheds light on the text, which caused the invention of 'The Author's Death'. Apart from the introduction and conclusion, the paper consists of two parts. In the first part, the term of constructivism, its definition and terminology are introduced as well as the theory's basics, principles, and resources. The second part is specified to the practical study of the poem through a constructivist theory. In conclusion, the result of the study is pinpointed and the list of the resources are given.

Full textAbstract:
Batik is a cloth made with a special technique to produce pictorial and colored motif using basic decoration and ornaments. The motif that is made varies according to the characteristics of each city. One of them is the typical batik of Batu City where the city is known for its apples. Some of the famous batik from Batu City are Semar Batik, Nara Batikku, Batoga Batik and Shitu Batik. The aim of this study is to describe the typical batik motif of Batu City from four studios, namely Semar Batik, Nara Batikku, Batoga Batik and Batik Shitu. The data in this study were obtained from interviews, observation and document collection. The data obtained was then processed by data reduction, data presentation and decision making. The validity of the data was tested by extension of observation, increasing persistence and triangulation. The results showed that each studio has its own various typical batik motifs. Semar batik has vegetable batik, sogan apple batik and liris apple batik. The typical motif of Batik Semar is apples and vegetables. Nara Batikku has longan batik motif, red tip batik and apple cherry blossom batik. Typical motif of Nara Batikku is flowers and plants. Batoga batik has motif of toga batik, green betel leaf batik and flower batik. The typical motif of Batoga Batik is herbal plants. Shitu batik has democratic batik motif, deaf shining batik and songgokerto batik. Characteristic of shitu batik is splash batik. Of the four studios, only Batik Semar has been registered at Diskoperindag, while the other three have not. Based on the results of this study, the authors suggest that the local department can be a source of information about the new batik business. For batik entrepreneurs, this should be used as input for the emergence of new historical heritage motif. For other students, it should be used as reference material in studying the various batik motifs typical of other cities.

In the millenial era, coincided with the Millennial Road Safety Festival that took place in Ampera bridge of Palembang and attended by the Presiden of Republic of Indonesia, Joko Widodo, a new entry in the Indonesian Record Museum (MURI) is made. The new entrydocumented the longest jumputan cloth in Indonesia that is 1,117 meter long and consisting of 500 designs. In comparison, there is also Songket in Palembang that have been famous since a long time and became the icon of the city that is put on with a sense of pride by its people,but less marketable. The potential and buying power of the public for Palembang songket tend to declinedue to its high price, so that only the upper middle class society who have the capacity to buy this traditional cloth. In addition, songket is used only on formal occasions, thus the lower mid-level people have less purpose to own it. As an alternative of formal attire, Palembangnese uses jumputan that is available in variety of design and less expensive. Its more affordable price make it more popular for the lower mid-level public to buy. Therefore, the authors are interested to analyze about the Comparison of Interest in Purchasing Jumputan Cloth and Palembang Songket in the Market of Palembang City

Full textAbstract:
This chapter discusses the experience of peacebuilding in the north-eastern Indian state of Meghalaya. The authors analyze the potential of the Indian democratic governance in dealing with conflict in this part of the country. Their findings come as a result of the fieldwork undertaken in Khasi, Garo and Jaintia Hills which aimed at scrutinizing the claims on the ‘peacefulness’ of this state. The chapter finds the main fault line in peacebuilding in Meghalaya in the lack of consideration of various patterns of ethnicity issues, and in putting too strong emphasis on underdevelopment and political economy. The authors claim that a comprehensive, long-term approach is needed to successfully rehabilitate former insurgents which should be followed by adjusted development policies, replacing short-term monetary compensations which only foster insurgency.

Full textAbstract:
In the realm of natural language processing (NLP), after part-of-speech (POS) tagging, the subsequent crucial step is shallow parsing. In this endeavour, the authors have undertaken the development of a shallow parser for the Khasi language. The work explores an array of techniques from both traditional machine learning (ML) and modern deep learning (DL) methodologies. They have employed a variety of ML algorithms, including decision trees, logistic regression, support vector machines, random forest, and multinomial naive bayes. Additionally, they have harnessed the power of DL with models such as the vanilla recurrent neural network, long short-term memory network, gated recurrent units, and bidirectional LSTM, all geared towards achieving the shallow parsing objective. The crux of the effort lies in the meticulous comparative analysis of these techniques. The chapter delves into a comprehensive discussion of their individual performances.

Full textAbstract:
Chapter 5 examines two landmark Hindi short stories that contested aspects of Dwivedi’s literary agenda. In ‘Dulāīvālī’ (quilt-woman), Banga Mahila used regional and domestic women’s speech in addition to Dwivedi’s preferred standard, Khari Boli prose. Her fictional exploration of the impact of nationalist ideals on middle-class Bengali women in the Hindi-belt further challenged the patriarchal authority with which Dwivedi and other nationalists sought to shape an emergent nation. Chandradhar Sharma ‘Guleri’, in ‘Usne kahā thā’ (she had said), employed regional/ethnic speech that was also gendered, as masculine and vulgar, once again flouting Dwivedi’s preferences for an upright, Khari Boli standard. His story, featuring a Sikh soldier fighting in Europe during World War I, upheld some nationalist ideals, but also defied conventional mores. Both stories underwent extensive editorial revisions, yet there remains a record in their final published versions of their authors’ defiance, and of Dwivedi’s strategic responses to such challenges.

Full textAbstract:
Chapter 3 further examines Dwivedi’s visually oriented strategies to establish literary authority amidst resistance, especially from critics who publicly decried his brand of poetry as crude, and from poets who continued to publish in Braj Bhasha. Dwivedi’s response was pragmatic: he attempted to bring sophistication to Khari Boli poetry through a cultivated association with art; and he modelled poetry that adhered to a modified agenda. He authored and commissioned a series of image-poems, poetry inspired by and published alongside paintings by Ravi Varma (1848–1906) as well as other contemporary artists. Dwivedi’s limited use and sanction of Braj Bhasha’s linguistic and literary influence in these image-poems did not match his agenda in cartoons and prose. Such maneuvers defined the very substance of modern Hindi poetry in the early twentieth century and established Khari Boli as the language of modern Hindi literature.

Full textAbstract:
Abstract This chapter explores the key contributions of Rabindranath Tagore, Mohandas K. Gandhi, and Mahadevi Varma to lasting conceptions of the sixteenth-century Hindu woman saint Mirabai, particularly in relation to the involvement of Indian women in the struggle for their own autonomy and freedom as well as that of the nation. Tagore interweaves references to her in fictional works advocating women’s emancipation and self-realization, as a woman who chose to leave husband and home and to live, even as he also understood the darker side of the rhetoric of devotion that might equate husband and God. Gandhi would draw on her as a quintessential example of nonviolent resistance and a model for women’s movement into the political realm as an extension of feminine devotion and self-sacrifice. He would strive in his own life to be as responsive to God as she was, even as he encouraged women to cultivate a Mira-like fearlessness. Mahadevi Varma, lauded as the first modern Hindi poetess, would be called a modern Mirabai and would offer an alternate vision of the saint, remaining unmarried, wearing khadi and living an austere life, and working tirelessly for women’s education and emancipation, the development of Hindi literature, and the constructivist agenda in the Indian struggle for independence. The saint would offer precedent for her choice, making her independent life culturally comprehensible, even as Mahadevi herself modeled new possibilities for women as authors, educators and leaders.

Full textAbstract:
The author offers new possibilities for interpretation of Frankish, domestic and Byzantine sources regarding the Bulgarian political control over territories of Avar Khaganate, destroyed by Charlemagne. The main focus is placed on the certificate of embassy led by Princeрs Avarum and Canizauci in Aachen in November 811. Coordinating it with Bulgarian and Byzantine sources, leads to the following conclusions. 1. It is likely that the diplomatic mission to Charlemagne in 811, involving representatives of the Avar community, led by its Tudun and Slavic tribal princes, was led by the Bulgarian prince – Omurtag, the younger brother of the ruler Krum (802? – 814), in his capacity as prince (princeps) and ombritag. i. e. Avars hegemon, in the northwestern borders after 803 and „Khan’s beloved younger brother” (khani sev`ingi or khani sev(inč) ingi). In Aachen, he introduced himself as a cani zautzi, that is, with his post of „Khan’s envoy”. 2. The khanas uvigi Omurtag (814–831) missions to Emperor Louis in 824 and 825–826 appear to have also been led by a member of the ruling family in Plisk oba (Pliska), maybe from his second son – Zvinitsa/Zvinichis. They also appear to have had a representative/s of settlers between 813 and 837 in TransDanubian Bulgaria (probably in the Lower Tisza region) of Bulgarian captives of Eastern Thrace of Armenian origin. One of their leaders in 837 was named Tzantzès, and his son, Stilian, and his descendants gained fame in Byzantium under the surname Ζαούτζης, Ζαούτζας. It coincides exactly with the proBulgarian official title (position) zautzi (tzautci), (=chaush) and probably derived from it. On this basis, we conclude that Τζάντζην (Öан¤·þ воеводэ) was performing the carrier of messages or emissary functions of the Bulgarian state before 837. 3.

They have a contribution to clarify important aspects of the Bulgarian state’s relations with the East Frankish Kingdom, as well as with the local population of Avars, Bulgarians and Slavs there.
