Gravitation toward CVE programming is new for most Pakistani organizations as large amounts of funding only recently became available. However, there is little emphasis on the technical capacity to understand the nature of violent extremism and how CSOs can fight it. This brief discusses both the challenges to implementing CVE programs and recommendations for how stakeholders can overcome these challenges. Jumaina Siddiqui is the program officer for Pakistan at USIP. Sehar Tariq is USIP’s country representative for Pakistan.
Though both Canada and India are products of the British Empire, they represent two very different paths that nations today can follow . Along with the United States, Europe, and Australia, India suffers the effects of growing populism, tribalism, and Islamophobia, which threaten stability and human rights for its citizens. Through his memoir, Haroon Siddiqui recounts the highs and lows he has experienced in relation to his native and adopted lands, and the lessons learned from what can go wrong and what can be made right Fromhis early years as the child of a Sufi family in India who endured the horrors of the 1947 Partition, to his move to Canada twenty years later. From watching his adopted country grow more multicultural and welcoming, to the contradiction of those inclusive ideals after September 11, 2001. Any country, no matter its place in the world, can descend into racist, anti-democratic tendencies. Canada has been an exception, but how will the forces of the world change that? In My India, My Canada, Siddiqui uses his two countries as metaphors to examine the risks of liberal democracy today and the fault lines of the age which threaten to tear us apart He tells these stories as a reminder of both the glories of humanity and the depths to which we can fall.

This book is aimed at providing systematic information on nutritional importance of vegetables in human nutrition, physiology, post-harvest technology, biochemistry and biotechnology of vegetables at a single source. The book contains very concise and precise information on physio-biochemical and biotechnological aspects of vegetable crops and also covers areas like resistance against diseases and herbicides and tolerance against drought and salinity and the physical aspects of quality, i.e., shape, size, texture, colour, tenderness, etc. It also contains the information on best possible solutions of problems faced by the students, scientists, growers and trade. The information given in this book is truly based on scientific records of scientists working on vegetables in various institutes. The book on physio-biochemical and biotechnological aspects of vegetable crops compiled for the students of postgraduate and postdoctoral programs is one such attempt to make them learn and understand the subject more precisely and motivate them o improve their knowledge in the field of physio-biochemistry and biotechnology of vegetables crops to meet the future needs. In addition, this book may be user-friendly to others who have the concern to expand their knowledge in the field of physio-biochemistry and biotechnology of vegetable crops and wish to fetch more remuneration from vegetable crops.
Based on a one-day public workshop held in Washington, DC, Opportunities and Obstacles in Large-Scale Biomass Utilization: The Role of the Chemical Sciences and Engineering Communities: A Workshop Summary explores the current state of biomass utilization for bulk-production of sustainable fuels and chemicals. The discussion focused on the chemistry and chemical engineering opportunities to meet the aforementioned objectives. Both formal presentations and breakout working groups were components of the workshop in an effort to stimulate engaging discussion among participants from widely varying fields.
This book presents a comprehensive knowledge on the diseases and pests of fibre crops, causing economic damage. It covers major disease and pest damages with the methods to combat them in fibre crop cultivations. The diseases and pests are described elaborately, giving emphasis on both morphological and molecular characteristics of pathogens and biology of different insect pests. The latest and most up-to-date knowledge on these aspects which acquired from diverse, complex, contemporary scientific discoveries in the field of fibre crop diseases and pests are compiled and presented in this book. This book is written in eight major chapters, each representing a certain type fibre crop, except for chapter 2 (two) which deals with both Mesta (kenaf) and Roselle for their similarities in disease and insect pest attacks. Each of the eight chapters is again subdivided into 2 or 3 (only for Chapter 2) subchapters to deal with different types of diseases and pests separately. This is a reference book in textbook format which intended to provide undergraduate, postgraduate and research personnel a means to acquire deeper knowledge on diseases and pests of nine major fibre crops, viz., cotton, jute, kenaf, roselle, sunnhemp , sisal, ramie, flax and hemp. Plant pathologists, entomologists and agricultural research scientists, and in academia, may find much of great use in this book.
