  • Honour Killing in Sindh Men's and Women's Divergent Accounts
    Honour Killing in Sindh Men's and Women's Divergent Accounts Shahnaz Begum Laghari PhD University of York Women’s Studies March 2016 Abstract The aim of this project is to investigate the phenomenon of honour-related violence, the most extreme form of which is honour killing. The research was conducted in Sindh (one of the four provinces of Pakistan). The main research question is, ‘Are these killings for honour?’ This study was inspired by a need to investigate whether the practice of honour killing in Sindh is still guided by the norm of honour or whether other elements have come to the fore. It is comprised of the experiences of those involved in honour killings through informal, semi- structured, open-ended, in-depth interviews, conducted under the framework of the qualitative method. The aim of my thesis is to apply a feminist perspective in interpreting the data to explore the tradition of honour killing and to let the versions of the affected people be heard. In my research, the women who are accused as karis, having very little redress, are uncertain about their lives; they speak and reveal the motives behind the allegations and killings in the name of honour. The male killers, whom I met inside and outside the jails, justify their act of killing in the name of honour, culture, tradition and religion. Drawing upon interviews with thirteen women and thirteen men, I explore and interpret the data to reveal their childhood, educational, financial and social conditions and the impacts of these on their lives, thoughts and actions.

The reports come merely weeks after its violent face-off with India in the Himalayan region of Ladakh. In the first half of 2020, the number of aircraft delivered was the highest over the past five years, according to the industry reports. Global Times while quoting China Aviation News, a newspaper affiliated with the state-owned Aviation Industry Corporation of China (AVIC), reported that as of June 30, the production line of the JF-17 has on average shortened the production period of a single aircraft by 15 days as opposed to last year. The Pakistani Air Force (PAF) is the main operator of JF-17 fighter jets, while Myanmar also flies the China-Pakistan co-developed made aircraft.

My parents’ love, prayers, devotion, sacrifices and moral support facilitated me to accomplish this achievement. I specifically dedicate this thesis to my father who always wanted me to return to Pakistan with PhD degree. Alas! He could not share this happiness with me and left this transient world for the eternal one. I pray; he may have an elevated place in heavens! i Acknowledgements I thank Allah the most Gracious, Who blessed me with both intellectual and physical strength to complete this PhD project. I am tremendously indebted to my first supervisor Dr Melanie Bell for her relentless support and guidance. Her ceaseless support and constructive feedback guided me throughout my doctoral journey, and helped me fashion this thesis. The most important aspect of Dr Melanie Bell’s help that I feel obliged to mention here was that she always directed my attention to learning first, and then to producing. To her, learning leads to better academic production and lives with us forever. Her attitude to research always inspired me and her moral support, feedback and comments assisted me to steer my study through oceans of intelligence and knowledge. I am very thankful to my second and third supervisors Dr Paulette Luff and Dr Aldo Zammit Borda for their valuable feedback and inspiring encouragement.

    UNIVERZA V LJUBLJANI FILOZOFSKA FAKULTETA ODDELEK ZA BIBLIOTEKARSTVO, INFORMACIJSKO ZNANOST IN KNJIGARSTVO Primerjava Encyclopædie Britannice in Wikipedie glede pokritosti vsebinskega področja X Mogul (Mughal) dinasty in India Profesor: doc. dr. Jure Dimec Študentka: Anja Jerše Ljubljana, december 2009 Izvleček: V seminarski nalogi je predstavljena primerjava med dvema spletnima enciklopedijama: Wikipedijo ter Encyclopædijo Britannico. Najprej je primerjava izvedena opisno – s primerjanjem njunih nemerljivih lastnosti, nato pa s pomočjo štetja tematik (ki jih predstavljajo hiperpovezave). Kot osnova sta bila izbrana dva nivoja spletnih strani tematike Mughal dynasty. Ugotovljeno je bilo, da imata obe enciklopediji pozitivne in negativne lastnosti. Wikipedija vsebuje veliko več hiperpovezav, ki pa so uporabljene precej nedosledno. Veliko pojmov je napačno zapisanih, povezave so nedelujoče ipd. Encyclopædija Britannica vsebuje hiperpovezave, ki so v veliki meri povezane z izbrano tematiko ter se od nje pretirano ne oddaljujejo. Povezave so ustvarjene dosledno, so delujoče ter pravilno zapisane, tematiko predstavi z vseh vidikov, Wikipedija pa pretirava s hiperpovezavami, ki bralca prehitro odvrnejo od osnovne tematike.
