Genesis According to the Zoroastrian Book of Primal Creation, Bundahishn
Published at American Journal of Religious Studies (AJRS)
Mitra Ara, Ph.D., Professor of Persian and Iranian Studies
San Francisco State University, USA
Abstract

This article explores the genesis according to the Zoroastrian Avestan book of Bundahishn, a major text tracing the cosmogony and evolution of creation from early expressions in Zoroastrianism. One of the world’s oldest living religions, Zoroastrianism is known as the first ‘millenarian’ tradition, antedating Christianity, Judaism, and Islam. The historical and literary examination views the original spiritual existence; the presence of two primal spiritual forces, good and evil; and the birth of opposition and dualism. Bundahishn recounts the deliberate formation of a stage whereupon the two forces could engage in concerted combat for sole kingship over creation, up to the cataclysmic end of finite time followed by renovation and absolute perfection of existence. This scholarly analysis fills a gap in religious literature by illuminating recognizable similarities of Zoroastrianism and later developed religious traditions, and lays the groundwork for constructing possible connection with Judeo-Christian traditions.

 Abstract

It has long been recognized that modern firms suffer from a separation of ownership and control because these companies are run by professional managers (agents), who are unaccountable to dispersed shareholders (principals) and that there is a principal-agent relationship that calls for corporate governance element such as the board of directors to oversee the affairs of the company. Generally, well-governed firms have been noted to perform higher than ill-governed ones. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effects of board oversight on performance of banks in developing markets. Drawing on some paradigms of corporate governance practices, notably, the Japanese and the Latin models, the study relies on the recent turbulence of the banking sector of Ghana to assess the effects of board oversights on banks in the financial sector of the country. We made five propositions based on literature whilst arguing that effective board oversight is a prerequisite for efficient bank performance. Our results alerts policy makers to formulate corporate governance guidelines as part of prudential regulatory requirement for banks in developing economies.

Bradley Smith, Ph.D. & Assistant Professor
Pepperdine University, USA
Abstract

The Green Revolution in 1960s enabled a sharp increase of the production of major staple grain crops (wheat, corn, rice, etc) to solve the ever-increasing demands of an increasing global population growing with geometric numbers. This article focused on how to increase the optimal efficiency of crop production under the impact of global greenhouse effect. We understand that the climate change effects have advanced in the past decade, there are still gaps in knowledge regarding the potential impacts of climate change on agriculture. These gaps are especially wide when it comes to specialized cultivation systems such as those of fruit and vegetable, which globally provide a high contribution to the human diet. To fill these gaps, we need a multifaceted approach that integrates physiology and genomics tools and might thus provide comprehensive answers, aiming at future needs. The increase in atmospheric CO2 is one of the main drivers of the climate changes and the increase of the global temperature. The CO2 molecule is also an essential nutrient for plants and increases in its concentration in the atmosphere have the potential to improve plant productivity (Leisner, 2020). However, optimizing the repose of plants to the increase in CO2 is a challenge due to its complex interaction with the regulation of stomata, transpiration and the efficiency of water use, issues discussed in detail in open stomata agriculture by Fara et al. 2019. The cultivation of crops with high productive potential and with greater resilience to biotic and abiotic stresses is seen as one of the methods with the greatest potential for obtaining higher yields, reducing the use of pesticides and without increasing the cultivated areas. Advances in genomics revolutionized and accelerated plant breeding. This will continue as costs decrease and more advanced methods are developed and applied. This was discussed by Gomes et al. 2020, in the characterization of a germplasm bank of Cucurbita moschata D. where they described the genetic relationships of agro-morphological characteristics, with the purpose of identifying early flowering genotypes, genotypes with high total levels of carotenoids in the fruit pulp and those with high potential for seed productivity and seed oil. There is an urgent need to support resilient and sustainable agriculture and the path is implementing cultivation practices and identifying new genes for agriculture. These genes should be directed to the optimization of production, mainly for the development of characteristics such as greater efficiency in the use of water, aspect fundamental in the current scenario, aiming at greater productive efficiency, less energy input and less risks to the environment.

Abstract

Humor is an art, which is used in every aspect of life. Therefore, sitcom has become the source of corpus for the study of humorous discourse. Up to now, existing studies in pragmatics focus on analyzing the linguistic characteristics of sitcom humor discourse, but seldom analyze the expression of its humorous effect and the reasons why American humor is difficult to be understood under cultural differences. Therefore, the purpose of this paper is to analyze the humorous discourse in the American sitcom The Big Bang Theory through the three variables (field, tenor and mode) in the register theory of functional linguistics, to explore the ways to achieve the humorous effect, and to explore the reasons for the failure of Chinese audience to understand American humor. The research shows that these reasons are mainly cultural differences, as well as expression techniques and the mastery of relevant knowledge. Register theory solves the problem of understanding humorous language, and makes the charm of humor three-dimensional, which provides a research direction for English educators.

Abstract

Extensive Heat Stress (EHS) is defined as an important environmental stress which confines plant growth, development, metabolism, fruition, and productivity on the worldwide scale (Hasanuzzaman & Nahar, 2013). Plant growth development and productivity actually concerns countless biochemical interaction and reactions that are sensitive to temperature. Gradually rising environmental temperature is the key component for environmental control, which is in advance of most perilous abiotic stress. Nanotechnology, viewing the agricultural sectors, have captured intensive research efforts because of their distinctive properties and numerous applications. A field trial was performed to evaluate the effect of HHS levels on growth, yield and quality of crop under heat stress. The plant measurements were made for heat induced changes on osmolytes accumulation, lipid peroxidation, oxidative stress and antioxidative response, seed nutrient and yield attributes at flowering stage. Among all sowing dates, the crop which was sown on March 7, 2018 (First sowing date), statistically performed better than other sowing dates although foliar application of 20 ppm zinc oxide nanoparticles ameliorate mungbean performance under both, no heat and heat induced environments.  *

Abstract

The online and offline blended teaching and learning of College English conforms to the trend of deep integration of curriculum teaching and information technology, which is not a simple blend, but a macro-coordinated and organic combination of multiple dimensions and aspects of "teaching and learning". Based on the popularity of online and offline blended teaching and learning in the post-epidemic period, this paper conducts a study on College English online and offline blended teaching in Beijing Institute of Petrochemical Technology (BIPT) through questionnaires and interviews. The results show that: For teachers, (1) Online and offline blended teaching helps teachers to better teach according to students’ aptitude, and teachers can choose different teaching materials and adopt different teaching methods for students with different grades. (2) Using information technology, teachers can track students' learning outcomes in a timely manner, collect learning information, analyze learning status, and prepare lessons accordingly. For students, (3) Most students need teachers’ reminders to finish online tasks, especially those with poor self-management skills need teachers’ constant reminders to complete learning tasks and assignments on time for online and offline learning. (4) For online learning, detailed learning guidance is required, such as where and how to find answers or related materials, or giving comprehensive and easy-to-understand analysis. Both teachers and students are adapting to this new mode.

Abstract 

Due to the allocation of health resources and services, it is commonly believed that community-based protection and prevention is very effective to cut off Covid-19 transmission at the beginning stage. Recent years, the COVID-19 abrupt outbreak has become a major concern with substantial effects on markets, and the world economy. The impact of COVID-19 is assessed to be even more than all the previous global pandemic. In this short-term, due to the impacts of this pandemic, startups are more prone to fail or succeed faster than ever before; however, the challenges they face are not yet clearly scrutinized, as the pandemic was faster than scholars. This study therefore investigates the main challenges of Iranian startups by interviewing the co-founders of fifteen well-known startups. The two-step coding was used to analyze findings and these findings were explained in a focus group session to which startup co-founders, policymakers, and scholars were invited. It was concluded, six principal types of challenges are major concern by this pandemic, including, human resources management, support measures financial and marketing, mechanisms, crisis management, and few others. The research will have great impact and influence on alleviating the current emergent situation.  *

Abstract

There was a time when BCG’s Growth Share Matrix broke all records of strategic management instrument popularity. Populist labels became industry standards. There were Stars, Cash Cows, and Question Marks and not to forget Dogs. All came to represent sets of business conditions, company positions, competitive forces and possible venues for strategic behavior.  Those days are gone and superior substitute instruments took over. Yet a rather unremarkable segment of BCG’s Growth Share Matrix, the “question mark”, could, in the author's view, assume a key role within the emerging disruptive technologies of Artificial Intelligence and Data Sciences. Modern day dynamics of this” “question mark” segment will provide the focus of the following article. The point of start is the historical positioning of the “question mark” segment with BCG’s matrix. This is followed by an analysis of modern day driving forces of the segment and how AI derived technologies and insights could populate this segment with innovative products and strategic business units. The ultimate outcome is a framework, conceptual and operational, for a new “question mark” segment analysis and a BCG matrix altogether reflecting today’s technologies. The article introduces a novel approach to the application of AI and data sciences to strategic thinking. The approach is qualitative.

Abstract

According to recent research done by Zibima, S. B., Wasini, K. B., & Oniso, J. I. (2020), obesity is dramatically increasing year by year and it was consider one of the most severe life-threatening fatal diseases globally by the end of 2020. The fact is that obesity itself may not be dangerous, but the complications related to obesity can be deadly or fatal in a great extent. Though many researchers have had extensive research in this field, only a few compared the scientific data from unban area with which from the suburban area. The goal of this research is first, to employ scientific data, research, and analysis with the goal of raising public awareness for people who are within the high-risk group and try to rescue them by informing them of the basic knowledge of obesity’s origin, prevention, danger, threatening, and treatment. Second, the realistic purpose for this research is comparing obesity in urban and rural area based on demographic factors and how obesity negatively influence people’s life quality and educational level. A questionnaire was obtained from 200 attendees and Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) was used for the scientific analysis of the data. The research results confirmed the doubts and anxiety of the severely negative influence of obesity on educational achievements, human life quality, life expectancy at present and in the future. *

Abstract

Recent years, the research on Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) are countless yet no previous research focused on MOF on the basis that they are a class of hybrid network of supramolecular solid materials composed of organized organic linkers and metal cations. This research paper displayed enormously high surface areas with tunable pore size and fitful functionality, and it can be applied to the hosts for a range of guest molecules. After the thorough discovery research, MOFs have experienced widespread exploration for their applications in gas storage, drug delivery and sensing. An ultimate goal of the current research is to better understand the two-sided effects of MOF membranes and the research result showed significant positive proofs. The preliminary conclusion is that MOFs can be regarded as a reusable merging of solid acids and organic polymers in the area of construction and industrial foundation. This article synthesized the functionality of MOFs with unique perspective and the research implications are of great importance in further discovering and advancing the practical development of chemical science. *

Abstract

The current research is understanding our mind: how philosophy enables us to perceive the world and master human mind. As we all know, designing a study about the thinking pattern to investigate how minds work while thinking is the mind in conversation with itself. The central model stated that the mind is the core mode of self-interrogation in psychotherapy and psychology built on philosophical precepts. Both Socratic dialogue and stoicism are evident in the principles of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Rational Emotive Behavioral Therapy (REBT). CBT and especially REBT instruct people to examine and dispute their beliefs and thus to tolerate unpleasant feelings—shades of Epictetus. The connection is bidirectional: The most perplexed evidence showed that people's psychological positions on philosophical questions in the center of the free-will existence are significantly influenced by their individual temperament and personality rather than cognitive ability. Future research will explore related philosophical questions which remain for human beings to further discover. *

Abstract

Recent years, research on MOF application showed positive tendency in MOF effects on gas storage. However, current researchers conducted a serious investigation and found the previous research had obvious flaws in over-generalization. Several options are available for storing gases effectively, but these mostly require high-pressure tanks and multistage compressors. Such methods are highly expensive for practical uses and there is a need for them to be substituted by simple and less expensive solutions. In an attempt to overcome these issues and to find safer storage methods, several materials, like zeolites or activated porous carbons, have been studied for gas storage. However, MOFs have outperformed most of these traditional materials in terms of gas storage, separation and industrial application. Easy synthetic procedures, high surface area, wide opportunities for functionalization and tunable pore structures make MOFs preferable compared with other porous materials. This article reviews studies of storage applications for important gases like H2, CO2, CH4, CO, NO, hydrocarbons etc. within MOFs, with a brief description of the factors responsible for effective storage. The current researcher hopes that this research result could be reevaluated and reinstated in order to avoid practical losses. *
