This book presents original research on the controversies surrounding animal sacrifice in South Asia through the lens of court cases. It focuses on the parties involved in these cases: on their discourses, motivations, and contrasting points of view. Through an examination of judicial files, court decisions and newspaper articles, and interviews with protagonists, the book explores how the question of animal sacrifice is dealt with through administrative, legislative, and judicial practice. It outlines how, although animal sacrifice has over the ages been contested by various religious reform movements, the practice has remained widespread at all levels of society, especially in certain regions. It reveals that far from merely being a religious and ritual question, animal sacrifice has become a focus of broader public debate, and it discusses how the controversies highlight the contrast between 'traditional' and 'reformist' understandings of Hinduism; the conflict between the core legal and moral principles of religious freedom and social progress; and the growing concern with environmental issues and animal rights.

The presence of burnout, anxiety, and depression among health professionals is a crucial issue that must be carefully addressed. The aim of this study is to investigate the levels of burnout, anxiety, and depression among health professionals (medical and nursing staff), the association of burnout with anxiety and depression, and the impact of occupational and demographic factors. One hundred and twenty-five health professionals (medical and nursing staff), who were working in a public hospital in the broader area of Athens, participated in the study (a sample of convenience). Of these 125 health professionals, 41 were men and 84 women, with the majority of them being in the age category of 36–45 years. For data collection, the Maslach Burnout Inventory (MBI) and the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS) questionnaire were used. The results showed that there was a statistically significant and negative correlation of emotional exhaustion with HADS total (r = −0.377; p = 0.000) and HADS anxiety (r = −0.417, p = 0.000). Also, there was a statistically significant and negative correlation of depersonalization with HADS total (r = −0.370, p = 0.000) and HADS anxiety (r = −0.431, p = 0.000). Moreover, there was a statistically significant effect (p < 0.05) of occupational and demographic characteristics.

A necessidade de reduzir acidentes e aumentar a segurança viária, bem como ofertar e comercializar novos serviços a motoristas e passageiros, têm levado ao desenvolvimento da tecnologia VANET (Vehicular Ad hoc Network). Embora possam se conectar com a infraestrutura disponível em vias e estradas, as VANETs são definidas como redes de comunicação veiculares, em que os participantes não dependem necessariamente de pontos de acesso centrais para comunicarem-se. Elas pressupõem a aplicação das comunicações sem fio, já amplamente utilizadas para computadores, equipamentos portáteis e redes móveis, nos veículos. Nos projetos de VANETs atualmente em fase de desenvolvimento e realização de testes de campo, um aspecto chave reconhecido nas pesquisas é a segurança da informação nas comunicações veiculares. Para ser aceita pelos consumidores a rede veicular requer alto grau de confiabilidade, o que se reflete na salvaguarda dos princípios: disponibilidade das comunicações e aplicativos, integridade dos dados, confidencialidade de informações sensíveis, privacidade dos motoristas e passageiros, responsabilização e não-repúdio pelas ações realizadas na rede. A análise de risco é um processo essencial para determinar ameaças, vulnerabilidades e estimar riscos de segurança da informação. Este trabalho visa verificar a aplicabilidade da norma ISO27005 de gestão de riscos de segurança da informação em VANETs. A utilização de mapas de risco permite a visualização dos riscos antes e após medidas de mitigação que vêm sendo propostas em pesquisas e projetos nesta área emergente de estudos.

The challenges faced by the human resource management have hindered its development and success. For the human resource department to succeed, these challenges need to be tackled.

Trade Unions: trade unions are very ruthless when it comes to negotiation and they pressure or influence the employees to strike. This ends up to affecting the human resource practice because it is the role of the human resource managers to provide a good working and conducive environment for workers. To reduce the adverse effects of the trade unions, the human resource managers of the various organizations need to work together with the trade unions in their plans and strategies. Retrenchment and downsizing: this happens when the economy becomes bad and the organizations are forced to reduce the number of employees in an organization, which affects the

A los espectadores externos les llama poderosamente la atención la mansedumbre de la izquierda marroquí con el régimen político autoritario, policial y expansionista actual, y en particular con el vértice del mismo, el Majzén. Antes de abordar el porqué de este sometimiento de la izquierda marroquí, hemos de plantearnos qué es el Majzén, una singular formulación del Estado, propia de Marruecos, de per les históricos propios. Con frecuencia, en la prensa diaria, se habla del Majzén como de un Estado paralelo, en la sombra, que difícilmente podemos interpretar en sus intenciones últimas. La palabra majzén está admitida desde hace años por la Real Academia de la Lengua española, con el signi cado literal de "en Marruecos, antiguamente, Gobierno o autoridad suprema". Sin embargo, intuimos que esta de nición es poco clari cadora, ya que el asunto no es sólo histórico, sino sobre todo del presente político. En realidad, el Majzén es literalmente el dar-al-Majzén, en sentido de casa-almacén. Es el espacio palatino y defensivo donde se encuentra la sede del poder, la sultaniya, del sultán mismo-realmente, o de manera gurada, ya que muchos palacios reales están vacíos de su presencia-, AG O

Good personal hygiene and food safety practices are crucial in foodservice establishments. It should guarantee the food is safe to be eaten by the consumers. However, food poisoning cases are still arising from time to time. Therefore, this study was conducted to assess the knowledge, attitude, and practices of food safety among food-handlers. A quantitative method is applied in this study involving 140 foodhandlers. The results showed that respondents do possess the right attitude; however, there are some vital aspects of food safety that still can be improvised. In addition, the respondents were reported to have good knowledge of food handling. In terms of practice, the respondents do practice the important aspects of food safety and hygiene, but still, there are some of them that are being neglected. Hence, the outcomes of this study may perhaps increase the awareness of food-handlers regarding the importance of hygiene in food premises.

The central bureaucracy of the Ottoman Empire adapted the empire's economic, monetary, and military institutions to changing circumstances with a degree of flexibility and pragmatism that permitted the empire to endure longer than contemporary empires in Asia and Western Europe. However, because it directed its policies primarily toward preserving the traditional order, including its own dominance, it tended to stifle capital accumulation in private hands and the creation of a broad power base, thus ultimately leading to the empire's disintegration.
