Dashti, Abdulmohsen A. "A Consonant Shift in Kuwaitis’ Speech: Challenging the Bedouin Vs Sedentary hypothesis The case of [ʧ]." International Journal of Applied Linguistics and English Literature 7, no. 1 (December 15, 2017): 12. http://dx.doi.org/10.7575/aiac.ijalel.v.7n.1p.12.
Full textAbstract:
In light of sociolinguist phonological change, the following study investigates the shift of [ʧ] to [k] sound in the speech of Kuwaitis and argues against the Bedouin/ Sedentary distinction. The main hypothesis is twofold: first the shift seems to be driven not by the differences between the sedentary and Bedouin varieties, but by the widespread of the English language as a prestige form and by the recent change of Kuwaitis’ lifestyle; second, the shift is not totally in the direction of [k], but rather in the direction of a lexical replacement by either English loanwords, classical Arabic, or other Arab dialects. To test this hypothesis, 130 informants were informally interviewed. 503 tokens were collected and were examined across gender, age, level of education. Their speech was phonetically transcribed and accordingly was quantitatively and qualitatively analyzed. Results indicate that the [ʧ] variant is undergoing change and that the social parameters and the significant social changes, that Kuwait has undergone recently, have triggered this linguistic shift.

Evaluation of local indigenous medicinal rice (Oryza sativa Linn.) varieties using molecular and metabolic profiling plays dynamic role for unravelling the genetic variability and restorative bio actives. In the present study, 18 screened random decamer (RAPD) markers were used to analyze genetic diversity and relationship among 25 indigenous landraces and 1 commercial rice varieties (White ponni), and GC-MS profiling of phylogenetic clusters positioned 4 random indigenous rice varieties and 1 White ponni rice were documented for exploring bioactive metabolites. Random amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) analysis of twenty-six rice varieties of Tamil Nadu divulges significant genetic differentiation. The primers produced total of 92 bands with size ranges from 100-8500bp out of 74 were polymorphic bands indicating 80% polymorphism. The mean values of RAPD for polymorphism information content (PIC) of 0.268, effective multiple ratio (EMR) of 23.38, marker index (MI) of 7.39 and the resolving power (Rp) of 4.34. The primer OPA-02, OPD-08, OPF-13 produced maximum number of bands (8), OPAA-07 produced minimum number of band (2). The UPGMA dendrogram were constructed based on Jaccard’s similarity coefficients. The dendrogram resolved the indigenous rice varieties into 3 main clusters and 3 monoclades ranged from 0.467 to 0.860, commercial rice variety shows marginal ungrouped position of 1. In the 3-main clustering, based GC-MS profilling (methanol and acetone rice bran extracts) of Karuppu Kavuni, Karuthakar, Kottara samba, Kaivara samba and ungrouped position of White ponni revealed 88 distinctive bioactive metabolites. And profiling results substantiate that the traditional rice varieties hold promising therapeutic metabolites for sedentary lifestyle disorders.

Full textAbstract:
AbstractPlant-parasitic nematodes are divided according to their feeding strategy into three major groups: sedentary endoparasites, migratory endoparasites and ectoparasites. Compared to what is known about sedentary endoparasitic nematode species, resistant and tolerant relationships between the nematodes from the latter two groups and their hosts are much less documented. However, methods for screening and evaluation of the resistance and tolerance of plants to migratory plant-parasitic nematodes have been well developed and sources of resistance and tolerance to these nematodes have been found. Advances have been made in breeding resistance to migratory plant-parasitic nematodes in rice, alfalfa, banana, pine trees, grape, woody fruits and other crops. Although accessions immune to stem, leaf and bud nematodes are found quite frequently, host resistance to migratory root-parasitic nematodes has been detected less frequently and generally only partly reduces nematode multiplication. Host tolerance to migratory nematodes is important even for resistant varieties and therefore is gaining attention. An insufficient degree of resistance and tolerance, their variability with the environment, and their linkage to undesired agricultural or horticultural characters are commonly observed. Polygenic bases for plant resistance and tolerance to migratory nematodes have been demonstrated by genetic and biochemical observations and make breeding even more complicated than that for resistance to sedentary plant-parasitic nematodes. These factors, with the presence of different nematode species in the field and community and population differences in pathogenicity, hinder the availability of host resistance and tolerance and offer a big challenge.

Full textAbstract:
AbstractThis article examines the influence of language ecology on bilingual speech. It is based on first-hand data from two previously undocumented varieties of Romani and Pomak in contact with Turkish in Greek Thrace; in both cases Turkish is an important language for the community's identity. This analysis shows how the Romani-Turkish “fused lect” was produced by intensive and extensive bilingualism through colloquial contact with the trade language, Turkish. In addition, it shows how semi-sedentary Pomak speakers had limited, institutional contact with Turkish, resulting in more traditional codeswitching and emblematic lexical borrowings.

Full textAbstract:
This study examines the regional and sociolinguistic variation in the paradigms of personal pronouns, independent and dependent, in Najdi dialects. The regional dialects are Central, Qassim, and Northern. The social dialects are sub-varieties of the Central dialect: Hamadan, Hawazin, and Sedentary. The data was collected using the sociolinguistic interview of 25 speakers. It was found that there were more variations in the personal pronoun forms than what have been reported in the literature. When comparing forms with Standard Arabic, the Central dialects are more conservative in the number of changes to the forms. However, Qassim and Northern have retained gender distinction in plural forms while Central dialects did not. This study introduced forms of personal pronouns that were never mentioned in the literature.

Full textAbstract:
Wheat (Triticum spp.) is one of the founder crops that likely drove the Neolithic transition to sedentary agrarian societies in the Fertile Crescent more than 10,000 years ago. Identifying genetic modifications underlying wheat’s domestication requires knowledge about the genome of its allo-tetraploid progenitor, wild emmer (T. turgidum ssp. dicoccoides). We report a 10.1-gigabase assembly of the 14 chromosomes of wild tetraploid wheat, as well as analyses of gene content, genome architecture, and genetic diversity. With this fully assembled polyploid wheat genome, we identified the causal mutations in Brittle Rachis 1 (TtBtr1) genes controlling shattering, a key domestication trait. A study of genomic diversity among wild and domesticated accessions revealed genomic regions bearing the signature of selection under domestication. This reference assembly will serve as a resource for accelerating the genome-assisted improvement of modern wheat varieties.

Oryza-An International Journal on Rice 58, Special (April 22, 2021): 208–20. http://dx.doi.org/10.35709/ory.2021.58.spl.9.
Full textAbstract:
Rice grain quality is the most important factor for evaluation of a variety as well as millers, consumers and farmer's point of view. It includes physico-chemical, nutritional and sensory qualities. The consumers of India and other south east Asian countries prefer medium to high amylose content (AC) rice due to their non-stickiness properties of boiled rice but in many Asian countries, waxy rice (having low AC) mainly preferred. The colour of rice grain may be white, purple, red and black; which are mainly associated with pericarp or bran layers of the whole grain. The bran contains most of the phytochemicals like oils, antioxidants, minerals, proteins, vitamins and crude fibers in higher concentration than white endosperm. Pigmented rice is generally rich in nutritional compounds as compared to white one but those are unpopular among the farmers because of many undesirable physiological and agronomic characteristics. Sensory qualities like colour, texture, pasting properties, aroma are essential for consumers as per their preference and acceptance. As rice grain is mainly composed by starch, hydrolyzed by digestive enzymes and converted into glucose which is the major energy source for various metabolic functions. After fulfilling the body energy requirement, extra calories from starch are stored as fats or glycogen for later use. Therefore, overeating food containing rice with sedentary lifestyle potentially leads to some health issues, such as type-II diabetes, obesity and colon diseases in long term particularly in Asian countries. Various biochemical factors affect the starch digestibility and Glycemic index (GI) of a food or its products. These factors are resistant starch, AC and phytic acid which lowers the starch digestibility by various ways and have been negatively correlated with GI value. Now-a-days quality assessment of rice grain in terms of its nutritional as well as physico-chemical parameters is gaining prime importance gradually.

Full textAbstract:
Abstract This article examines the tension between multilingual reality of migrant life and monoglot standard ideology in Polish grassroots organisations in the UK. Drawing on linguistic ethnographic fieldwork from 2017 to 2019, we show that while flexible multilingual practices characterise the community’s multilingual reality, a preference for monolingual standard Polish exists in community activities and online profiles. We argue that, through common orientation to the denotational code and national identity, the organisations give preference to language rather than the speech community of the immediate surroundings and attempt to create a representation of a timeless unified Polish community in line with the static framework of the European nation-state that promotes linguistic, cultural and racial purity. While advocating sedentary, permanent and classed images of migration and integration into British society, the organisations marginalise uses of other language varieties and erase observed historical, class and regional differences within the community.

Full textAbstract:
Non-communicable diseases such as cardiovascular diseases, cancers, diabetes, and asthma are increasingly common due to factors like industrialization, urbanization, fast-paced life, stress, sedentary lifestyle, and unbalanced diet in the 21st century. These chronic conditions are a global epidemic, being among the top causes of death worldwide. Preventing these diseases through a nutritious diet is crucial, and scientific studies suggest that appropriate fruit intake, particularly apples, can lower the risk of various health issues. Apples, rich in bioactive compounds, vitamins, minerals, and dietary fiber, offer numerous health benefits. Regular consumption of apples helps reduce the risk of atherosclerosis, coronary artery disease, heart attacks, and diabetes, and also provides anti-asthmatic and anti-allergic effects. Apples aid in detoxification, improve digestion, enhance skin, hair, and nail health, and offer protection against cancers, Alzheimer’s, and Parkinson’s disease. Apples have been a dietary staple for centuries, consumed in various forms like juices, sauces, and ciders. The reviewed article emphasizes the health benefits of apples, highlighting their role in preventing civilization diseases. It also discusses the characteristics of common apple varieties and the impact of thermal processing on their nutritional content.

Full textAbstract:
Cette thèse comble un vide dans le domaine de la dialectologie maghrébine, en proposant une description en synchronie de la phonologie et de la morphologie de l’arabe parlé à Kairouan, en Tunisie. Elle présente et analyse les résultats de plusieurs enquêtes de terrain. L’approche fonctionnaliste de cette thèse se base sur le modèle des études en dialectologie comparée les plus solides et consiste à analyser l’arabe kairouanais en le comparant à d’autres variétés d’arabe qui lui sont géographiquement et typologiquement proches. L'analyse variationniste des données linguistiques est également utilisée, prenant en compte les paramètres sociolinguistiques des locuteurs. Cette étude s’insère également dans le débat sur la réévaluation de la classification traditionnelle de l’arabe maghrébin. Dans le cadre de cette problématique, je remets en cause la validité de l’origine monogénétique kairounaise de l’arabe maghrébin de première couche et la définition des « parlers kairouanais » proposée par David Cohen. Afin de mieux cerner la démonstration linguistique, je m’intéresse aux événements historiques et sociaux majeurs qui ont accompagné le début des deux couches d’arabisation au Maghreb (VIIe - XIe siècle). En outre, j’analyse le développement diachronique et la distribution synchronique de trois isoglosses de l’arabe de première couche dans des variétés anciennes et contemporaines au Maghreb. En somme, la description grammaticale de l’arabe kairouanais, la focalisation socio-historique sur le passé de la ville, ainsi que la comparaison diachronique et diatopique contribuent à montrer la faiblesse de l’origine monogénétique kairouanaise de l’arabe maghrébin de première coucheThis dissertation provides a comprehensive description of the phonology and morphology of the Arabic variety spoken in the city of Kairouan (Tunisia). The phonological and morphological description results from the analysis of narrative texts and questionnaires I collected during field research. My description is based on the functionalism methodological approach commonly applied in the most significant studies of descriptive and comparative Maghrebi Arabic dialectology. This approach also includes comparative remarks on geographically and typologically related varieties of Arabic. Moreover, I embrace the variationist analysis based on different sociolinguistic parameters. Furthermore, this dissertation aims at contributing to the debate about the reassessment of the traditional classification of Maghrebi Arabic. It questions the validity of the monogenetic origin of first-layer Maghrebi Arabic from ancient Kairouani Arabic and David Cohen’s theory on the parlers kairouanais. In doing so, this study focuses on the major historical phases and social phenomena occurring in the Maghreb (7th - 11th centuries) in correspondence with the beginning of the two so-called waves of Arabization. From a comparative point of view, I analyze the diachronic development and the synchronic distribution of three isoglosses in first-layer Arabic across present-day and more ancient varieties. This socio-historical focus and diachronic and diatopic comparison of this study contribute to showing the weakness of the Kairouani monogenetic origin of first-layer Maghrebi

Full textAbstract:
This chapter attempts to reconstruct the linguistic history of the Arabic dialects spoken in south-eastern Turkey and the northern parts of Syria and Iraq. This area is characterized by religious pluralism and by a high linguistic diversity. It can be seen as a transitional zone between the archaic Iraqi-Anatolian dialects and the more innovative Syrian sedentary and Arabian bedouin dialects. The chapter discusses both common features, and striking innovations shared by all or most dialects of the region. The latter in particular may indicate that the sedentary dialects spoken at the northern edge of the Fertile Crescent may have a common origin. Many dialects of the region exhibit a high degree of both preservation and generalization of old features. The region also stands out because of contact-induced innovations that are partly the result of the significant influences that Aramaic, Kurdish, and Turkish had and still have on the local Arabic varieties.

This chapter provides an in-depth examination of the phonology of Jewish Gabes and its position within the spectrum of Tunisian Arabic dialects, with a particular focus on the Jewish ones. Notably, the study reveals substantial distinctions between the Muslim and Jewish dialects of Gabes, especially concerning the realisation of specific consonants and phonemic vowels. The Muslim variant aligns phonologically with Bedouin-type dialects, while the Jewish dialect displays characteristics typical of sedentary varieties, like the plosive realisation of interdentals and uvular realisation of /q/. The analysis includes a study the evolution of diphthongs in Jewish Gabes, illustrating the shifts from /ay/ to /ī/ and /aw/ to /ū/. A comparison is made with other Jewish dialects like Wad-Souf and Jewish Tunis. The discussion then turns to the development of sibilants and the retention of /h/ in Jewish Gabes, features that diverge from other regional dialects. Emphasis spread in Jewish Gabes is explored, revealing variations in the pharyngealised nature of /q/ and the spreadability of emphatic consonants. Finally, scrutiny of the vowel inventory shows that it contains three long phonemic vowels (/ī/, /ā/, /ū/) and three short phonemic vowels (/a/, /ə/, /o/), with nuances in the quality of /ə/ based on consonantal context.

Full textAbstract:
Diabetes mellitus is a metabolic disorder characterized by impaired action or secretion of insulin or both. It is predicted further upsurge of hyperglycemia in near future with increased mortality due to emerging complications such as cancer, cardio vascular, kidney diseases and dementia. Even though the food portion and calory consumption is measured well and meal plans are introduced according to the food and nutrition regulations which has uplifted with modern sciences international diabetes federation says there is a growing impact of diabetes across the world. In allopathy medicine some commonly used drugs are introduced, expecting enhancement of secretion or action of insulin but those are given with timely increasing dose. That means the amount or quality of insulin may have hidden controversial effect in expecting results. Therefore, this is the best era to identify the reasons, find solutions, do researches based on traditional knowledge and conventional system of medicines practiced in eastern world to protect the next generation from early diabetes. This literature study was aimed to compile and review etiological factors of prameha explained in Ayurveda and siddha medicine and disseminate the knowledge to use in diabetic prevention. Further, attention of this research was focused to study the validity of traditional rice verities in the aspect of controlling diabetes. Owing to rice is consumed as the main meal in south Asia region. The study was conducted based on the authentic texts of Ayurveda and Siddha medicine and research articles searched through recognized search engines for instance Google scholar and Pub Med., using relevant keywords. Among the etiological factors explained in Ayurveda and siddha medicine many are modifiable risk factors. Disregarding them since ages seems the reason behind rapid outbreak of diabetes Glycemic controls of 10 traditional rice varieties used in Sri Lanka also were assessed. Thirty articles which published in the period of 2000-2023 were used in this study. The results identified the effect of those in controlling hyperglycemia including appropriate processing and cooking method. The study concluded that it is very much important uplifting meal pattern in the manner mentioned in ayurveda authentic texts with life style modification avoiding sedentary life style in prevention of DM. Further it shows the unpolished traditional rice varieties with red pericarp, has low GI, high amylose content with proper cooking method and it can be used as opposed to newly developed rice verities for main meal in aiming reduction of diabetes and its complications.
