Methodological, temporal and spatial factors affecting modeled occupancy of resident birds in the perennially cultivated landscape of Uttar Pradesh, India

Purpose The ascent of women enterprising community (WEC) in a couple of decades draws the attention of various government and non-government bodies. Literature has mentioned various studies that focus on the factors affecting the success or failure of women entrepreneurs (WEs), but understanding of the ranking of the factors depending on the experiences of different WEs is needed. This study aims to identify the significant factors essential for the growth of WEC. Design/methodology/approach This study examines the factors through interview of 33 WEs having different entrepreneurial experiences (less than 1 year, more than 1 year but less than 10 years and more than 10 years of experiences) from different regions of Uttar Pradesh, India, and with the help of analytical hierarchical process, ranks the factors affecting the sustainable growth of WEs. Findings Through analysis, significant factors have been identified such as determination, education, entrepreneurial resilience, personal satisfaction and provide employment, and these factors have been analysed according to the different experiences of WEs. An investigation of ranking these factors of WEC, especially in the emerging nations, can assist policymakers in designing projects that improve the mindfulness associated with women enterprise and define the compelling methodologies. Practical implications The growth of the WEC is significantly affected by gender orientation ways of thinking as driven by entrepreneurship models. Originality/value This study gives a direction to policymakers by emphasizing on significant factors of various stages of enterprise development for the encouragement of WEs in the emerging economies.

The Subject

Hotspots analysis is essential in the criminology field and quite important in decisions making for police agencies because it permits the enhancement of allocation of police resources for timely and adequate actions. There exist different techniques for analysis and generation of hotspots, limited by its difficulty to consider other urban and demographic factors that could be the cause of the emergence of these hotspots or their influence over other factors. On the other hand, it is also difficult and unusual to analyze hotspots in a temporal context. This paper seeks, through spatial-temporal operations based in hotspots, to go beyond of classical crime analysis with hotspots, by looking for the spatial influence of other spatial factors over and analyzing also their relationship in a temporal context. The paper initially presents and analyze the performance of various techniques for hotspot generation and determines that STAC technique from CrimeStat is the more suitable for the proposed objective. Then, it defines a hotspot algebra allowing the combined study of crime and spatial factors affecting it and/or been affected by crime events. Temporal analysis includes the hotspots generation for days of the week and/or months in a year. In this way it is possible to study causality relationships and/or correlations among the studied phenomena and the spatial-temporal environment where crime occurs. Therefore, it is possible to define and apply informed actions, primarily concerning the allocation of police resources. Finally, it shows some application examples, thematic as well as temporal analysis, of hotspot algebra using crime data from Bogota for the years 2011 to 2013; finally, some future works in the subject are proposed.

The One

Islamic law, by having features in its principles that are fixed and variable, expresses its authority in any situation and time. Of course, this feature reflects the unique legislative miracle of Islam itself. The source of Islamic law is divine and heavenly, so it has always descended directly through the revelation of Allah Almighty, the Lord of the worlds, and has been arranged according to His wisdom and providence and has been considered in the context of time and place according to their nature and needs. Changing of a fatwa is the change of one rule in a specific issue to another one along with a Sharia cause that agrees with the aims and purposes of the Sharia. Therefore, there is no change in the prescribed rules and the fixed principles of Shari, but Ijtihad, Qiyas and expedient rules can be changed; Because there are many rulings that have been permitted for expediency, after the passage of time and the change of place have led to corruption, which again has become impermissible. The rule of fatwa changing has been valid in the Sharia; Because, on the one hand, the Companions and their followers have used it in their ijtihad fatwas, and on the other hand, Islamic jurisprudence is a developmental debate that progresses together with the caravan of life, no awareness of the demands of time, place and scientific development is synonymous with depriving the Islamic Ummah from virtues and facilities of life, so it is necessary that the change of the fatwa has to be compatible to the change of expediencies, otherwise it will lead to corruption and harm. Statement of the problem: The Islamic jurists have divided the Islamic rules into fixed and variable. This means that the prescribed laws, which are in harmony with meek nature, do not accept changes but the rules which are based on ijtihad can be changed. The discussion of changing the fatwa and its temporal and spatial factors is one of the important issues of jurisprudence that scholars have paid attention to and therefore the answer to these two questions is necessary for the researcher whether changing the fatwa is permissible? Are the requirements of time and place effective in its changing?
