Global Understanding

Writing from a wide range of historical perspectives, contributors to the anthology shed new light on historical, theoretical and empirical issues pertaining to the documentary film, in order to better comprehend the significant transformations of the form in colonial, late colonial and immediate post-colonial and postcolonial times in South and South-East Asia. In doing so, this anthology addresses an important gap in the global understanding of documentary discourses, practices, uses and styles. Based upon in-depth essays written by international authorities in the field and cutting-edge doctoral projects, this anthology is the first to encompass different periods, national contexts, subject matter and style in order to address important and also relatively little-known issues in colonial documentary film in the South and South-East Asian regions. This anthology is divided into three main thematic sections, each of which crosses national or geographical boundaries. The first section addresses issues of colonialism, late colonialism and independence. The second section looks at the use of the documentary film by missionaries and Christian evangelists, whilst the third explores the relation between documentary film, nationalism and representation.

Abstract C. rutidosperma is a common herb that grows as a weed in disturbed and ruderal habitats, principally in areas with humid and hot environmental conditions. It is often found as a weed of disturbed ground, roadsides, gardens, crops and abandoned lands, and has also been found growing as an epiphyte on trees, stone walls and cliff faces. This species is included in the Global Compendium of Weeds (Randall, 2012) where it is considered to have moderate economic impacts in a wide range of crops, due to its scrambling habit that smothers and stunts young crop plants. C. rutidosperma has been listed as invasive in China, Malaysia, India, Thailand, Vietnam, Australia, and the Domican Republic (Waterhouse and Mitchell, 1998; Kairo et al., 2003; Flora of China Editorial Committee, 2014, USDA-ARS, 2014). This species has had considerable environmental impacts in South East Asia and Australia. C. rutidosperma also has the potential to be moderately problematic in intensive cropping areas, greenhouses and nurseries.

From the beginning of the Bagan period (11th century CE), Buddha’s Parinirvāṇa Scene has been depicted on wall paintings in religious buildings and hollow vaulted temples at various places of middle Myanmar. It is found that wall paintings based on the Maha Parinirvāṇa Sutta vary in layout and size from period to period with Buddhist literature: just as single-scenes and small or large wall paintings were depicted during the Bagan period so also were depictions of multiple scenes made in the late Konbaung Period. Further additions were introduced in depictions of Buddha’s Parinirvāṇa in the late Bagan Period. When studying the Buddha’s Parinirvāṇa scene on wall paintings, the depicting styles and colour changed from period to period. Depending on the colour, the periods can be interpreted definitely. Wall paintings depicting the Parinirvāṇa Sutta at temples located in Bagan and middle Myanmar regions are compared among themselves to show differences and similarities. Accounts of the purported events surrounding the Buddha's own Parinirvāṇa are found in a wide range of Buddhist countries of South East Asia. This paper concludes that the hypothesis is viable, with comparisons with the wall paintings depicting Buddha’s Parinirvāṇa Scene in Myanmar and how the style changed and transformed.မြန်ြာနှိိုင်ငံအလယ်ပှိိုင်ေးဆနရာအနှံှံ့အမပာေးတွင် ပိုဂံဆခတ်အဆစာပှိိုင်ေးကာလ(၁၁ရာစို)ြှစ၍ ဗိုဒ္ဓ၏ပရှိနှိဗဗာန်စံခန်ေးကှိို ဘာသာ ဆရေး ှိိုင်ရာ အဆ ာက်အဦေးအြ ှိြုေးြ ှိြုေးနှငဲ့် ဂူဘိုရာေးဝတ်မပြုဆက ာင်ေးြ ာေး၏နံရံြ ာေးတွင် သရိုပ်ဆ ာ်ဆရေး ွွဲခွဲဲ့ကကသည်။ ြဟာပရှိ နှိဗဗာနသိုတတံကှိို အဆမခခံဆသာ နံရံဆ ေးဆရေးပန်ေးခ ျီြ ာေး၏ အခင်ေးအက င်ေး၊ အရွယ်အစာေးြ ာေးသည် ဆခတ်ကာလအလှိိုက် ကွွဲမပာေး မခာေးန ေးြှိုရှှိပပျီေး ပိုဂံဆခတ်ကာလက ဇာတ်ကွက်တစ်ကွက်ကှိိုသာ အရွယ်အစာေးအာေးမ ငဲ့် ကကျီေးသည်မ စ်ဆစ၊ ငယ်သည်မ စ်ဆစ နံရံဆ ေးဆရေးပန်ေးခ ျီတွင် သရိုပ်ဆ ာ်ဆရေး ွွဲဆလဲ့ရှှိပပျီေး ကိုန်ေးဆဘာင်ဆခတ်ဆနှ င်ေးပှိိုင်ေးကာလတွင် ဇာတ်ကွက်တစ်ကွက်ထက် ပှိိုြှိို ဆရေး ွွဲလာသည်ကှိို ဆတွွေ့ရှှိရပါသည်။ ဗိုဒ္ဓ၏ပရှိနှိဗဗာန်မပြုပံိုဇာတ်ကွက်အာေး သရိုပ်ဆ ာ်ဆရေး ွွဲရာတွင် ပိုဂံဆခတ်ဆနှ င်ေးပှိိုင်ေးကာ လ၌ ထပ်ြံထညဲ့်သွင်ေးြှိုြ ာေးကှိို မပြုလိုပ်လာကကသည်။ နံရံဆ ေးဆရေးပန်ေးခ ျီြှ ဗိုဒ္ဓ၏ပရှိနှိဗဗာန်ဇာတ်ကွက်အာေးဆလဲ့လာသညဲ့်အခါ သရိုပ်ဆ ာ်ဆရေး ွွဲြှိုပံိုစံြ ာေးနှငဲ့် ဆ ေးဆရာင်မခယ်သြှိုြ ာေးြှာ ဆခတ်ကာလအလှိိုက် ဆမပာင်ေးလွဲလာကကသည်။ ဆ ေးဆရာင်မခယ်သ ြှိုအဆပေါ်ြူတည်၍ ဆခတ်ကာလကှိို အတှိအက ဆ ာ်မပနှိိုင်သည်။ ပိုဂံနှငဲ့်မြန်ြာနှိိုင်ငံအလယ်ပှိိုင်ေးြှ ဘာသာဆရေးအဆ ာက်အဦေး ြ ာေးနှငဲ့် ဂူဘိုရာေးဝတ်မပြုဆက ာင်ေးြ ာေးတွင်ရှှိဆသာ နံရံဆ ေးဆရေးပန်ေးခ ျီြ ာေး၌ ပရှိနှိဗဗာနသိုတတံအာေး သရိုပ်ဆ ာ်ဆရေး ွွဲပံိုြ ာေးအကကာေး ကွွဲမပာေးမခာေးန ေးြှို၊ တူညျီြှိုတှိိုှံ့အာေး မပသနှိိုင်ရန်နှိှိုင်ေးယှဉ်ဆလဲ့လာထာေးပါသည်။ အဆရှွေ့ဆတာင်အာရှြှ ဗိုဒ္ဓဘာသာဝင်နှိိုင်ငံြ ာေးအ ကကာေး ဗိုဒ္ဓ၏ပရှိနှိဗဗာန်စံခန်ေးနှငဲ့်စပ်လ ဉ်ေးသညဲ့်ဆ ာ်မပခ က်ြ ာေးကှိို က ယ်မပနှံ့်စွာဆတွွေ့ရှှိရဆပသည်။ ယခိုစာတြ်ေးသည် အဆရှွေ့ ဆတာင်အာရှနှိိုင်ငံြ ာေးြှ နံရံဆ ေးဆရေးပန်ေးခ ျီြ ာေးတွင် သရိုပ်ဆ ာ်ဆရေး ွွဲထာေးဆသာ ပရှိနှိဗဗာန်စံခန်ေးနှငဲ့်ထှိိုင်ေးနှိိုင်ငံတှိိုှံ့ြှသရိုပ်ဆ ာ် ပံိုြ ာေးကှိို နှိှိုင်ေးယှဉ်ဆလဲ့လာြှိုြ ာေး မပြုလိုပ်နှိိုင်သည်ဟူဆသာ အယူအ ကှိို ဆကာက်ခ က်ခ ထာေးပါသည်။

Ecological Importance

There are increasing concerns for the ecological health of rivers, and their ability to provide important ecosystem services. Frameworks describing the character and condition of rivers have been developed in many parts of the world but rarely include river ecosystem services. South East Asia is a region with some of the world’s great rivers—Mekong, Salween and Ayeyarwady—running through six different countries, but data on river ecological character and condition is patchy and inconsistent. Development pressures on these rivers has never been higher, and ecosystem services may be lost before being described and valued. The development of a framework of ecological importance is envisaged, which maps out the relative contributions of river reaches to a wide range of ecosystem services. This could be a tool for river basin planning and water resource management, baseline information for impact assessment of infrastructure (for example, hydropower and irrigation), and for protecting ecologically important areas. We asked a diverse group of 109 river basin planners, and water and natural resource management professionals in the region whether a framework of ecological importance would support their activities, and which river ecosystem services are most important to be assessed. Our findings allow prioritisation of river ecosystem services to be assessed and mapped according to importance in different river reaches and sub-basins within the region. The locations of ranked threats and pressures on the river systems allow indication of river health and integrity in these sub-basins. We consider the feasibility of measuring ecosystem services and pressures through the identification of appropriate indicators, methods, and availability of global, regional, and national data.

The World

As is well-known, the seminal work of the late Angus Maddison has established that 2,000 years ago the Indian subcontinent (modern day, South Asia) and China were by far the richest regions of the world. Since the Industrial Revolution of the nineteenth century, the share of world GDP of the Indian subcontinent had started to decline. This trend reversed somewhat after the economic reforms of the 1980s and 1990s. More recently, however, economic growth in South Asia has softened yet once again for several reasons. This book focuses on the slowing pace of economic reforms and outlines a two-pronged strategy to jumpstart South Asian economies. First, South Asian countries should complete the economic reform process that they had begun in the 1980s and 1990s and implement the more microeconomic reforms, namely, the sectoral, and governance and institutional reforms to enhance competition and improve the operation of markets. Second, they should implement the second round of ‘Look East’ policies or LEP2 to (i) link themselves to production networks in East Asia, their fastest-growing markets, and (ii) develop production networks in manufacturing and services within their region. The book argues that the proposed strategy will lead to a win-win situation for all countries in South Asia and East Asia and reinvigorate economic integration within South Asia, one of the least integrated regions of the world. The book also identifies the unfinished policy reform agenda for each South Asian country and the components of the LEP2 that they should implement.

Abstract Cowpea mild mottle virus (CPMMV) infects a wide range of cultivated legumes. It causes severe mosaic and/or necrosis on the leaves, stems and pods of beans (Phaselous), cowpea (Vigna) and soyabean (Glycine max). Yield losses of 64-80% have been recorded in groundnuts in Kenya (Bock et al., 1976, 1977) and 10-100% in soyabean in Brazil and Argentina (Brown and Rodrigues, 2017). The virus is transmitted in a non-persistent manner by the whitefly, Bemisia tabaci. CPMMV is considered endemic to Africa, but has spread to India, South-East Asia, South America, the Caribbean, Puerto Rico and Mexico. Introduction of the virus to Puerto Rico, and possibly also Mexico, is thought to have been through infected seed from South America and perhaps Africa. The virus poses a threat to soyabean production in the USA and, if introduced into mainland USA, CPMMV has potential to spread through seed, on infected ornamental or vegetable transplants, and by the viruliferous whitefly, itself if previously associated with a virus-infected host.

In the global economy, the foundation of which is increasingly knowledge, the innovation infrastructure becomes the engine of economic growth, it will become the lever that will help transform the economic recovery into long-term growth. The purpose of the article is to analyze the characteristics of the development of the innovation infrastructure of the leading countries of Southeast Asia and to develop recommendations for Ukraine in the context of the new industrial revolution. The article has set and solved the following tasks: to analyze the features of the transformation of the innovation infrastructure in the countries-technological leaders in the conditions of the new industrial revolution both in Southeast Asia and in other developed countries; explore the features of innovation policy and infrastructure of the leading countries of Southeast Asia on the example of Japan, South Korea and China; perform correlation and regression analysis for modeling and forecasting the development of the innovation potential of the countries of Southeast Asia and Ukraine; to assess the prospects for the development of innovation infrastructure in the countries of South-East Asia and to develop recommendations for Ukraine in the conditions of the new industrial revolution. The research methodology includes the processing and study of statistical information, the implementation of trend analysis, the calculation of the model of development of innovative potential by the method of correlation and regression analysis. The results of the trend analysis showed that from Ukraine and the leading countries of Southeast Asia, China has the best prospects for the development of innovative infrastructure. During the correlation-regression analysis, the strongest dependence was revealed when calculating indicators for China between GDP and indicators of the Innovation Infrastructure group. Prospects for the implementation of a new industrial revolution in the leading countries of South-East Asia and Ukraine were identified and recommendations for Ukraine were developed. Conclusions. For the successful development of the innovation infrastructure in Ukraine, the following measures can be applied: attracting investment in R & D and innovation centers; attracting universities to research and development; strengthening environmental policy; concentration of innovation in industry; development of the IT sector.

<p>Andragogy is the art and science of assisting people in learning, as well as the study of adult education philosophy, procedures, and technology. Andragogy and economy have relation through adult education and higher education. Adult education and economic development strengthen one another. The objectives of this study are- to investigate situation of andragogy in particular fields of education of Bangladesh, to identify the ways about how approaches of andragogy in South-East Asia be redesigned in Bangladesh as a part of improvement or adaptation in those particular fields. The qualitative approach is followed in this study. Bangladesh along Vietnam and the Philippines are the countries identified as emerging economies. Situation of implementation of andragogical approach in particular educational areas of Bangladesh is not the way that is naturally expected from an emerging economy. Though andragogy has been successfully introduced and adapted in western especially European education system, as a country growing both economically and socially, Bangladesh just cannot blindly adopt the process because of the differences between economies of Bangladesh and European region. So, it will be rational to adapt and improvise the andragogical approaches followed by Bangladesh’s neighboring countries which are attaining financial success and have gone through similar economic phase that resembles to economy of Bangladesh. As education system of other South Asian countries is as fragmented as Bangladesh in the case of andragogy, South East Asian countries can be better inspiration.</p><p> </p><p><strong> Article visualizations:</strong></p><p><img src="/-counters-/edu_01/0851/a.php" alt="Hit counter" /></p>
