Female chimpanzees exhibit exceptionally slow rates of reproduction and raise their offspring without direct paternal care. Therefore, their reproductive success depends critically on long-term access to high-quality food resources over a long lifespan. Chimpanzee communities contain multiple adult males, multiple adult females and their offspring. Because males are philopatric and jointly defend the community range while most females transfer to new communities before breeding, adult females are typically surrounded by unrelated competitors. Communities are fission-fusion societies in which individuals spend time alone or in fluid subgroups, whose size depends mostly on the abundance and distribution of food. To varying extents in different populations, females avoid direct competition by foraging alone or in small groups in distinct, but overlapping core areas within the community range to which they show high fidelity. Although rates of aggression are low, females compete for space and access to food. High rank correlates with high reproductive success, and high-ranking females win direct contests for food and gain preferential access to resource-rich sites. Females are aggressive to immigrant females and even kill the newborn infants of community members. The intensity of such aggression correlates with population density. These patterns are compared to those in other species, including humans.

The Rwanda genocide during the 1990s showed the failure of the international community to prevent mass atrocities and save civilians' lives. The current movement toward advancing the Responsibility to Protect Resolution has grown out of recognition of the global community's insufficient response to the 20th century mass atrocities. As a result the concept of R2P was born during that time in order to save people from crimes against humanity and genocide. However, since the 1990s until today crimes and violence against civilians continue to occur. For example, the situation in several Arab countries and the attacks against civilians such as Libya and Syria lead us to question concepts such as the responsibility to protect and humanitarian intervention. This thesis explores the concept of R2P within the UN system. This paper argues that R2P resolution should be done within the UN as it is an international organization which should have the authority to apply the concept of R2P. The problem is that within the UN Security Council the five permanent members maintain undue control because of their veto power. All countries in the UN should participate in deciding whether it is urgent and useful to intervene in a country to save its civilians or not. The thesis mainly evaluates the Uniting for Peace Resolution as a way to overcome the 5 Permanent members veto power. IV. The Uniting for Peace Resolution………………………………………………. A.

The present research paper aims at investigating the underlying stylistic problems in the translation of the Quranic patience (Al-saber) words into English with particular reference to Surratt Āl-’Imrān, that is in English translations of Abdel-Haleem, Khan, and Mohammed Taj Al-Din Al-Hilai and Pickthall. Also, the study aims at examining how the three translators cope with these underlying stylistic problems in their translations. The three English translations of the Quranic patience (Al-saber) words from Surrat Āl-’Imrān were intentionally chosen and examined by the researcher. Varied underlying stylistic problems in the three translations were investigated as well. The study reveals that there are some underlying stylistic problems in the translation of the meaning of the Quranic patience (Al-saber) words into English in Surrat Āl-‘Imrān. In addition, some types of the underlying stylistic problems and semantic losses in the translation of the Quranic patience (Al-saber) words w...

A short write up on Khashoggi's murder

1 A 1.8-m 3 rigid tank contains steam at 220°C. One-third of the volume is in the liquid phase and the rest is in the vapor form. Determine (a) the pressure of the steam, (b) the quality of the saturated mixture, and (c) the density of the mixture. 2 A piston-cylinder device contains 0.85 kg of Refrigerant134a at-10°C. The piston that is free to move has a mass of 12 kg and a diameter of 25 cm. The local atmospheric pressure is 88 kPa. Now, heat is transferred to Refrigerant-134a until the temperature is 15°C. Determine (a) the final pressure, (b) the change in the volume of the cylinder, and (c) the change in the enthalpy of the Refrigerant-134a. 3 Saturated steam coming off the turbine of a steam power plant at 30°C condenses on the outside of a 3-cmouter-diameter, 35-m-long tube at a rate of 45 kg/h. Determine the rate of heat transfer from the steam to the cooling water flowing through the pipe. 4 A cooking pan whose inner diameter is 20 cm is filled with water and covered with a 4-kg lid. If the local atmospheric pressure is 101 kPa, determine the temperature at which the water starts boiling when it is heated. 5 A rigid tank with a volume of 2.5 m 3 contains 15 kg of saturated liquid–vapor mixture of water at 75°C. Now the water is slowly heated. Determine the temperature at which the liquid in the tank is completely vaporized. Also, show the process on a Tv diagram with respect to saturation lines. 6 A 0.5-m 3 vessel contains 10 kg of Refrigerant-134a at-20°C. Determine (a) the pressure, (b) the total internal energy, and (c) the volume occupied by the liquid phase.

Képelemzési módszerek a történeti kutatásokban – lehetőségek és korlátok A nemzeti nagyság és fájdalom emlékhelyei sajtófotókon (1896–1938) A tanulmány a képelemzés módszertani lehetőségeit vizsgálja oly módon, hogy egy sajtófotókból összeállított korpusz alapján a különféle módszereket példákkal szemlélteti. Bemutatja a metódusok fő típusait, előnyeit és korlátait. A legkorábban megjelent megközelítéstől (a képek ugyanolyan források, mint a szövegek) jut el a legkomplexebb elemzési technikáig, a vizuális diskurzuselemzésig kitérve az ikonológiai-ikonográfiai módszerre és annak különböző változataira. A sajtófotók a nemzeti nagyságot demonstráló emlékművekről, valamint a nemzeti fájdalmat és reményt szimbolizáló emlékhelyekről készült képeket ölelik fel: a Hősök tere és a Szabadság tér Horthy-korszakbeli szobrai, illetve a vidéki hősi emlékek és országzászlók fotói képezték a vizsgálat tárgyát.

The prospect that First Nations Australians were in contact with cultures beyond Australia prior to European arrival has fascinated theorists for over a century. Early views tended to see Aboriginal culture as too primitive to have independently developed ‘higher level’ cultural traits. Once this view was abandoned, further enquiry into external contact largely ceased. However, it has been gradually recognised that transformations occurred within Australia not only independently but also through external elements arriving from the north (Macassans and Papuans). This paper offers perhaps the first comprehensive overview of a less studied potential conduit: the eastern seaboard of Australia. Given the vast scale of the eastern seaboard (and its geographic position directly opposite the seafaring cultures of the Pacific Basin it is surprising that the notion of contact between these two realms has received such limited attention. The east coast is a potentially very large target for co...
