Bangladesh is the most densely populated country in the world. With a total population of around 165 million, the country has constantly been facing food security challenges and other problems. Therefore, increasing food production is one of the feasible solutions to this challenge, and proper agricultural land use for food production bears critical importance. Adopting sustainable irrigation systems and viable technologies would be vital for ensuring efficient use of agricultural land in Bangladesh to safeguard the country's food security. Solar irrigation pumps (SIPs) can be a reliable option in this regard. However, Bangladesh has experienced a prolonged growth rate of SIP installation in the last decade. The countryhas set a target to install 10000 SIPs by the year 2027, albeit it is a tiny share of the 1.57 million conventional irrigation pumps operating in the country. This study aims to investigate the economic feasibility of the SIPs operating in the northern region of Bangladesh in terms of estimating financial feasibility and environmental benefits. The study is mainly based on primary data collected from the users of SIPs from two Upazilas of Dinajpur and Rangpur districts. A total of 14 SIPs, categorized into large, medium, and small pumps, are selected randomly from the available SIPs in the study areas. The financial analysis reveals that small SIPs are the most profitable option (20% IRR) for investment. Large SIPs are moderately profitable (10% IRR), and their profitability can be improved (10.50% IRR) by introducing additional uses of solar energy. However, medium SIPs are the worst (5% IRR) option for investment. In the study areas, large and medium SIPs are designed for the 'fees for service model', and small SIPs are designed for the 'fees for ownership model'. It is found that the 'fees for ownership model' is more profitable than the 'fees for service model'. Moreover, the net environmental benefit for all SIPs is found almost equal to the given subsidy for installing them. Also, the net environmental benefit per kilowatt peak (kWp) is highest for the small SIPs. This paper recommends that additional use (e.g., husking, grinding, supply excess electricity to grid, and so on) of solar energy can improve the profitability of investmenton SIPs. Further, the government should continue giving grants for installing SIPs and promote 'fees for ownership model' (small SIPs) for personal use. It would speed up the dissemination rate of SIPs and help increase the country's agricultural production and improve the environmental conditions.
Politik familisme menarik untuk dikaji karena praktiknya yang sangat jamak ditemukan di tubuh partai, tetapi belum banyak digali secara akademik. Dalam praktiknya seringkali sebuah partai dikemudikan oleh sekelompok keluarga baik dalam susunan kepengurusan, susunan anggota legislatif serta pengambilan keputusan politik lainnya. Tulisan ini disusun berdasarkan penelitian di Partai Persatuan (PPP) Kabupaten Rembang, jawa Tengah dimana dua keluarga besar kyai, yaitu KH. Maemoen Zubair dan KH. Ahmad Thoyfoer (alm.) memiliki pengaruh sangat besar didalam pergerakan politik PPP baik di level lokal hingga nasional. Tulisan ini mempertanyakan bagaimana praktik politik familisme dalam Partai Persatuan Pembangunan Kabupaten Rembang, bertujuan untuk mengetahui praktik familisme di tubuh partai dan implikasinya bagi tatakelola partai. Pendekatan yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini adalah pendekatan kualitatif dengan strategi penelitian studi kasus. Pengumpulan data yang digunakan yaitu in-deeph interview terhadap tokoh-tokoh kunci partai dari kedua keluarga, jajaran pengurus dan para antri, dan studi dokumentasi yang berisi arsip-arsip partai. Hasil penelitian ini menjelaskan praktik familisme yang lekat dengan partai politik, dibangun setidaknya melalui dua format, yaitu hubungan kekeluargaan, dan hubungan kyai-santri yang sudah seperti keluarga. Lebih jauh, politk familisme menghasilkan corak tradisional yang tidak bisa dilepaskan dari tatakelola partai yang pada dasarnya adalah lembaga modern.

Based on two studies with Bosniak and Croatian students in Bosnia and Herzegovina, this paper analyzes the effects of religiosity on intergroup forgiveness and reconciliation. Both Christianity and Islam advance forgiveness and reconciliation as one of the major moral imperatives. Previous studies also indicate that religiosity can increase readiness to grant forgiveness on the inter-personal level and facilitate rapprochement. When it comes to inter-group level, prescripts of religious piety often conflict with norms of group solidarity and care. Another set of research suggests that religion obstructs conflict transformation due to the dogmatic reasoning it promotes, including reframing of immanent disputes in transcendental (and thus non-negotiable) terms. This study initially tested whether adding religious symbols to conflict narratives impacts prosocial attitudes of respondents and came with negative results. In other words, adding religious codes to already known narratives about conflicts did not have a significant impact on participants' attitudes. In a subsequent SEM analysis, it was found that religiosity in both groups is strongly correlated with group-centricity, which negatively mediates its relationship with both forgiveness and reconciliation. We conclude that collectivistic forms of religiosity that privilege ingroup solidarity might have negative effects on intergroup forgiveness and reconciliation in post-conflict settings.

During the meeting of the Estates General at Blois, October 1588, the pro Catholic League factions urged the extirpation of heresy. This lengthy Catholic response is of interest because it refers to differences among Catholics, as well as the struggle against heretics. ; Electronic reproduction; 22 p. ; 16 cm (4to)
