Securitising population growth in Muslim states and societies : a case study of Iran and Pakistan

Riddell, Katrina January 2007 (has links)
To securitise an issue is to elevate it above politics to security status. At the global level, population growth has been securitised by a number of change agents. They have arrived at an understanding of population growth as existentially threatening and of population control as the best solution. This transformative process took place during the twentieth century and was enabled largely by the United Nations. However, in some Muslim states and societies where population growth is potentially threatening and securitisation of it is necessary, Islamic factors and agents might prevent this from happening. Events and experiences suggest that population control is antithetical to Islam. Muslim states and societies tend to experience higher growth and fertility rates than their non-Muslim counterparts. Furthermore, some Islamic agents have vocally opposed global and national population control objectives. Because of these two occurrences, Islam is assumed to be pro-natalist and anti-population control. It is also assumed that Islam is causal to high fertility and growth and the failure of control efforts. But is this necessarily true? Is population control antithetical to Islam? Moreover, will Islam and its agents prevent the securitisation of population growth by Muslim states and societies? These questions are explored through the case studies of Iran and Pakistan.

Essays in the economic history of South Asia, 1891 to 2009

Mirza, Rinchan Ali January 2016 (has links)
This thesis presents research that subscribes to the broader theme of the Economic History of South Asia from 1891 to 2009. First, Chapter 2 shows that the Partition induced expulsion of religious minorities reduced school provision in Pakistan. The effect of minorities is explained by their education, occupational structure and their contribution towards local social capital. Then, Chapter 3 examines how areas affected by the Partition fare in terms of long-run agricultural development in India. It finds that areas that received more displaced migrants after Partition perform better in terms of crop yields, are more likely to take up of high yielding varieties (HYV) of seeds, and are more likely to use agricultural technologies. It highlights the superior educational status of the migrants as a potential pathway for the observed effects. Next, Chapter 4 shows that the agricultural productivity shock induced by the adoption of HYV of seeds reduced infant mortality across districts in India. It uses data on the characteristics of children and mothers in the sample to show that it was children born to mothers whose characteristics generally correlate with higher child mortality, children born in rural areas, boys, children born in rice and wheat producing districts and children born in poorer households who benefit more from HYV adoption. Furthermore, Chapter 5 shows that baseline differences in irrigation prior to the adoption of HYV are associated with differences in the growth of yields after adoption. It explores the relationship between irrigation and yields over time to uncover potential mechanisms for the observed relationship. Finally, Chapter 6 empirically investigates the relationship between religious shrines and literacy in the Punjab province of Pakistan.

Des héritages géopolitiques en confrontation : histoire des représentations des frontières de l’État princier du Jammu-et-Cachemire / Conflicting Geopolitical Legacies : History on the way in which the Borders of the Princely State of Jammu-and-Kashmir have been presented

Leclercq, Delphine 14 December 2010 (has links)
Contentieux délicat entre l’Inde et le Pakistan, les deux États issus de la Partition de l’Empire britannique des Indes en 1947, la question du Cachemire est un imbroglio inextricable. Scindé par une ligne de contrôle, le territoire de l’ancien État princier du Jammu-et-Cachemire est le symbole d’une Partition inachevée pour Islamabad tandis qu’il représente l’invalidation pratique de la Théorie des deux Nations pour New Delhi. Depuis 1947, la complexité des réalités religieuses et linguistiques du territoire du Jammu-et-Cachemire tend à s’effacer face au jeu des constructions idéologiques antagonistes des deux États qui le contrôlent. Des convictions opposées se transmettent de génération en génération dans l’opinion publique des deux pays, aboutissant à une opposition jusqu’ici irréconciliable des mémoires indienne et pakistanaise. En outre, les frontières stratégiques du Cachemire, ouvertes sur l’Asie centrale, représentent un impératif absolu en tant que limite septentrionale de ce qui peut être considéré comme les néo-empires indien et pakistanais. L’évolution des représentations des frontières de l’État princier du Jammu-et-Cachemire, depuis la seconde moitié du 19ème siècle jusqu’à sa partition en janvier 1949, constitue un héritage décisif dans le développement des représentations géopolitiques indiennes, pakistanaises mais aussi et surtout dans celles des habitants de la Vallée du Cachemire et des autres sous ensembles himalayens qui composaient l’État princier. / The Kashmir problem is a sensitive bone of contention between India and Pakistan, the two states stemming from the Partition of the British Empire in India in 1947. Split into two parts by a line-of-control, the territory of the Princely State of Jammu and Kashmir has been for Islamabad a symbol of the unfinished Partition, whereas for New Delhi it represents, for all intents and purposes, the revocation of the Two Nations Theory. Since 1947, the complexity of religious and linguistic realities of the Jammu and Kashmir territory tends to be downplayed in the ideological formulations of the two antagonistic States that control it. This confrontation between India and Pakistan in Kashmir crystallizes opposing convictions which are passed on from one generation to the next in both countries, thereby sanctioning the differences between the Indian and Pakistani national memories. Moreover, Jammu and Kashmir has strategic borders with Central Asia which constitute a hard and fast imperative for both, as the northern border of what could be called the Indian and the Pakistani neo-empires. Since the second half of the 19th century until its partition in January 1949, the evolution of the presentation of the borders of the Princely State of Jammu and Kashmir constitute a decisive legacy in the way the geopolitical presentations have evolved in India and Pakistan as well as in the Valley of Kashmir and in the others Himalayan entities which had formerly made up the Princely State of Jammu-and-Kashmir.

Avian influenza and co-infections : investigation of the interactions in the poultry models / Influenza aviaire et co-infections : étude des interactions dans le modèle aviaire

Umar, Sajid 12 January 2017 (has links)
Ce travail vise à estimer l’impact de co-infections sur le terrain et à mieux comprendre le synergisme possible entre agents pathogènes en conditions expérimentales. Nous nous sommes intéressés à E. coli (O78) et au virus influenza faiblement pathogène (LPAIV, H6N1) dans le modèle dinde. Les oiseaux ont été infectés par voie aérosole pour reproduire l’infection respiratoire. L’excrétion virale ainsi que les lésions ont été plus importantes lors de la co-infection, ce qui suggère une patho-génicité accrue. Ces résultats montrent que E. coli et LPAIV ont un effet additif sur la maladie respiratoire lors qu’ils ont été inoculés soit simultanément soit en différé (à 3 jours d’intervalle) à des dindes naïves. En parallèle, nous avons étudié les virus respiratoires en circulation dans les élevages pakistanais. Des co-infections avec le LPAIV H9 (lignage G1) et le virus de la maladie de Newcastle (génotype VII) ont été fréquemment observées. / The purpose of this study was to assess the burden of co-infections in the field and to better understand the possible synergism between pathogens in a laboratory setting. We focussed on E. coli (O78) and low pathogenic avian influenza virus (LPAIV, H6N1) in turkey model and infected the birds via the aerosol route to reproduce respiratory disease. Viral shedding and lesions were more severe and persisted longer during coinfection indicating possible enhancement of pathogenesis for LPAIV by E. coli and vice versa. These findings all endorse our conclusions that E. coli and LPAIV exercise an additive pathogenic effect in the reproduction of respiratory disease if given simultaneously or spaced by three days between the viral and the bacterial challenges to susceptible turkeys. In parallel, we studied avian respiratory agents circulating in the field in Pakistani farms. There, we focussed on co-infections as well, targeting viruses only as a first study. We observed frequent LPAIV H9 (G1 lineage) and Newcastle disease virus (genotype VII) coinfections in the field.

Emotional Intelligence : a Cross-Cultural Psychometric Analysis / L’Intelligence Emotionnelle : une Analyse Psychométrique interculturelle

Karim, Jahanvash 28 March 2011 (has links)
Malgré la littérature importante dans le champ de l’intelligence émotionnelle, la très grande majorité des études sur le développement et la validation des échelles de mesure de l’intelligence émotionnelle ont été réalisées dans des pays Occidentaux. D’où, une limitation majeure de cette littérature dans son orientation purement occidentale. L’objectif de cette recherche est d’évaluer les propriétés psychométriques du Test d’Intelligence Emotionnelle de Mayer-Salovey-Caruso (MSCEIT), du Questionnaire des Traits d’Intelligence Emotionnelle (TEIQue), et du Test d’auto-évaluation d’Intelligence Emotionnelle (SREIT) dans un contexte comparatif interculturel comprenant des étudiants collectivistes Pakistanais (culture Orientale) et des étudiants individualistes Français (culture Occidentale). Les résultats de cette étude ont démontré que les participants de la culture française ont eu une meilleure performance par rapport aux participants pakistanais au MSCEIT mais pas au TEIQue et au SREIT. Les analyses d’échantillons multiples ont révélé des structures factorielles invariantes du MSCEIT, du TEIQue, et du SREIT à travers les deux cultures. Concernant la validité discriminante, l’auto-évaluation de l’IE, mesurée par le SREIT et le TEIQue, et les mesures de performance de l’IE, évaluées par le MSCEIT, n’ont pas démontré une forte corrélation dans les deux cultures. En autre, les résultats au MSCEIT, au TEIQue, et au SREIT n’ont pas démontré le lien avec l’intelligence cognitive dans les deux cultures. Des corrélations faibles à modérées ont été observées entre les mesures de l’IE et les dimensions de personnalité Big Five. Enfin, les mesures de l’IE se sont révélées indépendantes de styles de communication. Concernant la validité convergente des mesures d’auto-évaluation de l’IE, les résultats au TEIQue ont montré une forte corrélation avec le SREIT dans les deux cultures. En ce qui concerne la validité incrémentale, après un contrôle statistique des dimensions de personnalité Big Five et la capacité cognitive, le MSCEIT et le SREIT n’ont pas démontré le lien avec la satisfaction de vie, l’affect positif, l’affect négatif, et la détresse psychologique dans les deux cultures. En revanche, les facteurs du TEIQue ont expliqué une part significative de la variance dans les variables dépendantes après avoir contrôlé pour les dimensions de personnalité Big Five et l’intelligence cognitive. Cependant, des analyses plus approfondies ont révélé que ces associations ont été en grande partie attribuées au facteur du bien-être du TEIQue. Enfin, les femmes ont montré de meilleurs résultats que les hommes au MSCEIT mais pas au TEIQue et au SREIT dans les deux cultures. En résumé, les résultats de cette étude fournissent les preuves pour validité factorielle, discriminante, et convergente de ces mesures de l’intelligence émotionnelles dans les deux cultures. Toutefois, les résultats concernant la validité incrémentale de ces mesures se sont avérés moins prometteurs que prévu. / Despite the rather large literature concerning emotional intelligence, the vast majority of studies concerning development and validation of emotional intelligence scales have been done in the Western countries. Hence, a major limitation in this literature is its decidedly Western focus. The aim of this research was to assess the psychometric properties of the Mayer-Salovey-Caruso Emotional Intelligence Test (MSCEIT), the Trait Emotional Intelligence Questionnaire (TEIQue), and the Self-Report Emotional Intelligence Test (SREIT) in a cross-cultural comparative context involving the collectivist Pakistani (Eastern culture) and the individualist French (Western culture) students. Results of this study showed that participants from the French culture scored higher than participants from the Pakistani sample on the MSCEIT but not on the TEIQue and the SREIT. Multi-sample analyses revealed that the MSCEIT, the TEIQue, and the SREIT factor structures remained invariant across both cultures. Regarding discriminant validity, in both cultures, self-ratings of emotional intelligence, as assessed by the SREIT and the TEIQue, and performance measure of emotional intelligence, as assessed by the MSCEIT, were not strongly correlated. Furthermore, in both cultures, scores on the MSCEIT, the TEIQue, and the SREIT revealed to be unrelated to cognitive intelligence and communication styles. Finally, low to moderate correlations were observed between the EI measures and the Big Five personality dimensions. Regarding convergent validity of the self-report EI measures, in both cultures the scores on the TEIQue strongly correlated with the scores on the SREIT. With regard to incremental validity, in both cultures, after statistically controlling for the Big Five personality dimensions and cognitive ability, the MSCEIT and the SREIT revealed to be unrelated to satisfaction with life, positive affect, negative affect, and psychological distress. In contrast, the TEIQue factors accounted for a significant amount of variance in outcome variables after controlling for the Big Five personality dimensions and the cognitive intelligence. However, further analyses revealed that the associations were mainly because of the TEIQue’s well-being factor. Finally, in both cultures, females scored higher than males on the MSCEIT but not on the TEIQue and the SREIT. In sum, the results of this study provide evidence for the factorial, discriminant, and convergent validity of these emotional intelligence measures in both cultures. However, results regarding incremental validity of these measures are less promising than anticipated.
