Este artigo tem por objetivo discutir o impacto da Guerra do Contestado (1912- 1916) nas políticas de modernização e reorganização do Exército Brasileiro no século XX. Um dos propósitos é analisar os possíveis desdobramentos desse conflito no campo da política de defesa. Observa-se que, se o resultado da Primeira Guerra Mundial determinou a contratação da Missão Militar Francesa para operar a modernização do Exército Brasileiro, a campanha militar no Contestado evidenciou as debilidades da instituição militar e contribuiu decisivamente para a adoção de medidas reformadoras. Busca-se, também, evidenciar que o estudo desse conflito tem muito a revelar sobre a formação da mentalidade militar e o papel do Exército na sociedade brasileira.   This article aims to discuss the impact of the Contestado War (1912-1916) on the modernization and reorganization policies of the Brazilian Army in the 20th century. One of the purposes is to analyze the possible consequences of this conflict in the field of defense policy. It is observed that if the result of the 1st Word War determined the hiring of the French Military Mission to operate the modernization of the Brazilian Army, the military campaign in the Contestado highlighted the weaknesses of the military institution and contributed decisively to the adoption of reform measures. It also seeks to show that the study of this conflict has much to reveal about the formation of the military mentality and the role of the Army in the Brazilian society   Este artículo tiene por objetivo discutir el impacto de la Guerra del Contestado (1912- 1916) en las políticas de modernización y reorganización del Ejército Brasileño en el siglo XX.

Religio-Political parties are an integral part of the politics of Pakistan. Theyhave played a vital role in political mobilization, be it inside or outside theparliament, both during civilian and military rule. The military rulers of thecountry have never transferred power to the civilians, until a struggle fordemocracy has been made. That has led to compromise of transition frommilitary to civilian governments. It mainly focuses on the role of Jamiat-iUlema-i-Islam- (JUI) and Jamaat-e-Islami Pakistan in the revival of people’spower in the country. It also aims to see how religio-political parties work todevelop pressure on the rulers for democratic transition in Pakistan. Despitediverse sectarian and political backgrounds, how the leadership of religiopolitical parties brought political parties on one junction against dictatorship.Furthermore study explains that how religio-political parties eitherencouraged or discouraged the aspect of dynastic politics in Pakistan.Building and analyzing this argument in the dynamics of structuralfunctionalism and role theory, the organizational structure of religio-politicalparties is studied and evaluated to see connection in the role of JUI and JIPtowards democratic transition.

Typological Classification

Following Slovenia’s independence, Slovene military language began to develop rapidly. After the country joined NATO, however, it had to face new language requirements and, in particular, the influence of the English language. When it comes to the military technical language, its researchers and users must keep abreast of developments, act in a terminologically harmonized manner and adapt to NATO standards. The article presents an overview of terminological efforts at the Ministry of Defence of the Republic of Slovenia. It critically evaluates terminology processes and ways of obtaining terminology, but also emphasizes the need for formally approved standardization procedures and the vital role of a renewed standardization commission. The term-formation typological classification of monolingual Slovene terms frequently found in contemporary military texts points to the necessity for modern and more systematic term acquisition and terminology research procedures, and serves as the basis for the presentation of individual examples of term formation practices in military terminology.

This article focuses on a major human factors–related issue that includes the undeniable role of cultural factors and cockpit automation and their serious impact on flight crew performance, communication, and aviation safety. The report concentrates on the flight crew performance of the Boeing 777–Asiana Airlines Flight 214 accident, by exploring issues concerning mode confusion and autothrottle systems. It also further reviews the vital role of cultural factors in aviation safety and provides a brief overview of past, related accidents. Automation progressions have been created in an attempt to design an error-free flight deck. However, to do that, the pilot must still thoroughly understand every component of the flight deck – most importantly, the automation. Otherwise, if pilots are not completely competent in terms of their automation, the slightest errors can lead to fatal accidents. As seen in the case of Asiana Flight 214, even though engineering designs and pilot training have greatly evolved over the years, there are many cultural, design, and communication factors that affect pilot performance. It is concluded that aviation systems designers, in cooperation with pilots and regulatory bodies, should lead the strategic effort of systematically addressing the serious issues of cockpit automation, human factors, and cultural issues, including their interactions, which will certainly lead to better solutions for safer flights.

In the current scenario of Wireless Sensor Network (WSN), power consumption is the major issue associated with nodes in WSN. LEACH technique plays a vital role of clustering in WSN and reduces the energy usage effectively. But LEACH has its own limitation in order to search cluster head nodes which are randomly distributed over the network. In this paper, ERA-NFL- BA algorithm is being proposed for selects the cluster heads in WSN. This algorithm help in selection of cluster heads can freely transform from global search to local search. At the end, a comparison has been done with earlier researcher using protocol ERA-NFL, which clearly shown that proposed Algorithm is best suited and from comparison results that ERA-NFL-BA has given better performance.

Accurate pronunciation has a vital role in English language learning as it can help learners to avoid misunderstanding in communication. However, EFL learners in many contexts, especially at the University of Phan Thiet, still encounter many difficulties in pronouncing English correctly. Therefore, this study endeavors to explore English-majored students’ perceptions towards the role of pronunciation in English language learning and examine their pronunciation practicing strategies (PPS). It involved 155 English-majored students at the University of Phan Thiet who answered closed-ended questionnaires and 18 English-majored students who participated in semi-structured interviews. The findings revealed that students strongly believed in the important role of pronunciation in English language learning; however, they sometimes employed PPS for their pronunciation improvement. Furthermore, the results showed that participants tended to use naturalistic practicing strategies and formal practicing strategies with sounds, but they overlooked strategies such as asking for help and cooperating with peers. Such findings could contribute further to the understanding of how students perceive the role of pronunciation and their PPS use in the research’s context and other similar ones.

Human beings are deeply related to land. Human beings take birth on land, live on land, die on land and mixes with land ultimately. As stated in the holy Quran: ‘We (Allah) created you (human beings) from the soil, we shall make you return to the soil and We shall call you back again from the soil’ (20:55). Human life is surrounded by soil i.e. land. So, land is a highly completed issue of human life involving economic, social, political, cultural and often religious systems. Land administration is thus a critical element and often a pre-condition for peaceful society and sustainable development. In administrating land, Khatian or record of rights plays a vital role to determine the rights and interests of the respective parties as supportive evidence. In this article, discussion is mainly made on the fact that Khatian or record of rights is not a document of title solely but it may be an evidence of title as well as possession.

Seminal Work

McIntyre, in his seminal work on Scottish franchise courts, argues that these courts were in decline in this period, and of little relevance to their local population. 1 But was that really the case? This paper explores that question, using a particularly rich set of local court records. By analysing the functions and significance of one particular court it assesses the role of this one court within its local area, and considers whether it really was in decline at this time, or if it continued to perform a vital role in its local community. The period studied is the mid to late seventeenth century, a period of considerable upheaval in Scottish life, that has attracted considerable attention from scholars, though often less on the experiences of local communities and people.
