Upa

Upa (Sanskrit: उप; IAST: upa) is an indeclinable adverb, preposition, and prefix in the Sanskrit language, denoting proximity, approach, subordination, or addition, such as "near to," "towards," "under," "with," or "by the side of."^[1] It functions primarily to modify verbs, nouns, and adjectives in compounds, altering their semantic nuance to indicate nearness or inferiority, as seen in terms like upaniṣad ("sitting near" a teacher), which gave rise to the ancient philosophical texts known as the Upanishads.^[2] Etymologically, upa traces to the Proto-Indo-European root upo, meaning "under" or "up from under," with cognates in Greek hypo- ("under") and Latin sub- ("under").^[1] In Vedic and classical Sanskrit literature, upa appears frequently in ritual, philosophical, and epic contexts to express relational dynamics, such as motion towards an object or hierarchical positioning.^[3] Its grammatical versatility underscores Sanskrit's synthetic structure, enabling precise conveyance of causal and spatial relationships without additional particles. Scholarly analyses highlight its role in preverb systems, where it combines with verbal roots to generate nuanced meanings beyond literal proximity, including intensification or completion.^[4] While not controversial, upa's application in compound formation reflects the language's emphasis on derivational morphology, influencing derivations in Indo-European linguistics.^[5]

Law

Uniform Partnership Act

The Uniform Partnership Act (UPA) of 1914 is a model statute developed by the National Conference of Commissioners on Uniform State Laws (now the Uniform Law Commission) to provide uniform rules for general partnerships in the United States.^[6] It codifies common law principles into statutory form, addressing the formation, operation, rights, duties, and dissolution of partnerships where no partnership agreement exists or where the agreement is silent.^[7] The act defines a partnership as "an association of two or more persons to carry on as co-owners a business for profit," emphasizing co-ownership and profit-sharing as essential elements, without requiring formalities like written agreements or registration for validity.^[8] Under the UPA, partners owe fiduciary duties of loyalty and good faith, including the duty to account for partnership property and refrain from self-dealing or competing with the partnership.^[6] Each partner acts as an agent for the partnership, binding it in ordinary business matters, with partners jointly and severally liable for torts and debts incurred on behalf of the firm.^[7] Partnership property includes contributions by partners and profits derived from the business, held in tenancy in partnership rather than individual ownership.^[6] Dissolution occurs upon events like a partner's death, bankruptcy, or express will, triggering winding up where assets are applied first to creditors, then to partners per their interests, though the act permits continuation via agreement or buyout in some cases.^[7] The 1914 UPA was enacted in 46 states and the District of Columbia by the mid-20th century, excluding Louisiana due to its civil law tradition and initially Georgia, though it influenced partnership law nationwide until revisions addressed limitations like rigid dissolution rules.^[6] Its aggregate theory views the partnership as a collection of individuals rather than a separate entity, contrasting with later corporate forms.^[9] The Revised Uniform Partnership Act (RUPA), promulgated in 1992 and amended through 1997, modernized the original by adopting an entity theory, treating the partnership as distinct from its partners for liability and continuity purposes.^[10] Key differences include eliminating automatic dissolution upon dissociation, allowing buy-sell remedies and continuation by remaining partners; expanding fiduciary duties to include care alongside loyalty; and introducing provisions for registered limited liability partnerships to shield partners from vicarious liability.^[7] RUPA also facilitates mergers, conversions, and dissolutions with creditor protections, reflecting economic shifts like increased use of limited partnerships post-1986 tax reforms.^[11] As of 2023, over 40 states have adopted RUPA or hybrids, superseding the original UPA where enacted, though some retain 1914 elements for legacy partnerships.^[7]

Military History

Ukrainian Insurgent Army

The Ukrainian Insurgent Army (UPA) was established on October 14, 1942, as a paramilitary force by the Bandera faction of the Organisation of Ukrainian Nationalists (OUN-B), with the aim of achieving Ukrainian independence through armed struggle against occupying powers.^[12] Initial units drew from earlier partisan groups operating in Volhynia and Polissia since late 1941, incorporating fighters led by figures like Taras Bulba-Borovets before consolidating under OUN-B command.^[13] Roman Shukhevych served as the primary military commander from 1943, overseeing operations structured into battalions, companies, and squads with a focus on guerrilla tactics rather than conventional warfare.^[14] At its peak in mid-1944, the UPA numbered approximately 50,000 fighters, armed primarily with captured German and Soviet small arms, enabling hit-and-run ambushes, sabotage of supply lines, and attacks on military convoys.^[15] The group conducted over 200 such attacks between January and March 1944 alone, targeting both Nazi German forces and advancing Soviet troops in western Ukraine.^[16] While initial OUN collaborations with Nazi authorities provided some organizational experience, the UPA shifted to active resistance against German occupation after realizing Nazi policies hindered Ukrainian sovereignty, engaging in asymmetric warfare without the capacity for direct confrontations.^[17] The UPA's campaign extended to ethnic Poles, culminating in the 1943–1945 massacres in Volhynia and Eastern Galicia, where units systematically killed an estimated 100,000 Polish civilians through village raids, torture, and mass executions, actions characterized as ethnic cleansing by Polish authorities.^[18] These operations, peaking in July and August 1943, primarily targeted non-combatants including women and children, driven by OUN-B directives to eliminate perceived threats to Ukrainian territorial claims.^[19] Ukrainian narratives often frame these events as mutual conflict or tragedy, but empirical records confirm UPA initiative and scale as disproportionate to Polish reprisals.^[20] Post-World War II, the UPA persisted in anti-Soviet guerrilla operations into the mid-1950s, clashing with NKVD and Red Army units in forested regions of western Ukraine, where Soviet sources document thousands of engagements resulting in heavy insurgent losses.^[21] By the early 1950s, intensified Soviet counterinsurgency, including mass deportations and informant networks, reduced UPA remnants to scattered holdouts, with effective dissolution by 1956 amid the broader suppression of nationalist resistance.^[22] The UPA's legacy remains divisive: in Ukraine, it symbolizes anti-totalitarian defiance, yet internationally, it is critiqued for wartime atrocities and selective alliances that aligned with Axis elements early on, complicating claims of unalloyed heroism.^[23]

Politics

United Progressive Alliance (India)

The United Progressive Alliance (UPA) is a centre-left coalition of political parties in India, dominated by the Indian National Congress and formed to contest elections and govern after the 2004 Lok Sabha polls. It emerged from the need to consolidate support among smaller parties following the National Democratic Alliance's failure to secure a majority, with the Congress winning 145 seats and the broader UPA securing enough allies and external support to form a minority government. Sonia Gandhi, Congress president at the time, chaired the alliance, while economist Manmohan Singh was sworn in as Prime Minister on 22 May 2004, marking the first non-Congress-led coalition government since 1996 to complete a full term. The UPA's common minimum programme emphasized social welfare, economic liberalization, and secularism, distinguishing it from the previous NDA's Hindu-nationalist tilt. The alliance won re-election in the 2009 Lok Sabha elections, securing 206 seats for Congress and 262 for the UPA overall, enabling a stronger mandate without initial reliance on communist support, which had been withdrawn in 2008 over the Indo-US nuclear deal. During its decade in power, the UPA pursued legislative reforms including the Right to Information Act of 2005, which empowered citizens to access public records and reduced bureaucratic opacity; the Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Act of 2005, guaranteeing 100 days of wage employment to rural households; and the Right to Education Act of 2009, mandating free and compulsory education for children aged 6-14. Foreign policy highlights included the 2008 Indo-US Civil Nuclear Agreement, which ended India's nuclear isolation by securing civilian nuclear cooperation and fuel supplies from multiple nations, despite domestic opposition from left-wing allies. Health initiatives like the National Rural Health Mission expanded rural healthcare access, while the Aadhaar biometric ID system laid groundwork for direct benefit transfers. Economically, the UPA period saw India's GDP expand from $709 billion in 2004 to $2.04 trillion by 2014, with average annual growth of about 7.7% through 2011, driven by global commodity booms, services exports, and continued liberalization. However, the second term experienced deceleration to around 5-6% growth amid high inflation peaking at 12% in 2010, twin deficits (fiscal deficit rising to 5.9% of GDP by 2013 and current account deficit hitting 4.8%), and rupee depreciation, earning India a spot among the "Fragile Five" emerging economies in 2013 due to over-reliance on foreign capital inflows. Critics attributed slowdowns to policy paralysis, retrospective taxation disputes, and subsidy burdens, though proponents credit poverty reduction, with over 100 million people lifted out of extreme poverty per World Bank estimates tied to growth and welfare schemes. The UPA's tenure was marred by high-profile corruption scandals, including the 2G spectrum allocation of 2008, where the Comptroller and Auditor General estimated a ₹1.76 lakh crore presumptive loss from undervalued licenses awarded on a first-come-first-served basis rather than auction; the coal block allocation scam involving discretionary grants without competitive bidding, leading to Supreme Court cancellation of 204 blocks in 2014; and the 2010 Commonwealth Games irregularities, with cost overruns exceeding ₹30,000 crore amid allegations of kickbacks. These cases, probed by the Central Vigilance Commission and courts, resulted in arrests of ministers and officials, convictions in some instances, and contributed to voter disillusionment, culminating in the UPA's rout in 2014 when Congress won only 44 seats. The alliance has remained opposition-focused since, with diminished cohesion among members like the Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam and Nationalist Congress Party.

Arts and Entertainment

United Productions of America

United Productions of America (UPA) was an American animation studio founded in 1941 as Industrial Film and Poster Service by former Walt Disney Productions employees Zack Schwartz and David Hilberman, who had departed amid dissatisfaction with working conditions highlighted by the 1941 Disney animators' strike.^[24]^[25] Stephen Bosustow, another ex-Disney staffer who had worked there from 1934 until the strike, soon joined as a partner and producer, renaming the entity UPA in 1943 to focus on commercial animation while rejecting Disney's emphasis on hyper-realistic full animation.^[26] Initially, UPA produced industrial training films and U.S. government-commissioned World War II propaganda shorts, such as Hell-Bent for Election (1944), a pro-Roosevelt effort directed by John Hubley that tested stylized approaches.^[27] UPA gained prominence in 1948 through a distribution deal with Columbia Pictures, producing theatrical shorts that introduced limited animation—a cost-saving method using fewer drawn frames per second, static backgrounds, and minimal character movement to prioritize graphic design over fluid motion.^[28] This technique, combined with modernist influences like flat colors, bold shapes, and abstraction drawn from contemporary art, contrasted sharply with Disney's detailed realism, enabling artistic experimentation while reducing production expenses from Disney's labor-intensive standards.^[29] Breakthrough shorts included Gerald McBoing-Boing (1950), which won the Academy Award for Best Animated Short Film in 1951, and Rooty Toot Toot (1951), an Oscar nominee noted for its jazz-inspired visuals and narrative innovation.^[30] The studio's Mr. Magoo series, debuting with The Ragtime Bear (1949), featured the nearsighted elderly character in scenarios yielding two more Oscars: When Magoo Flew (1955) and Gerald McBoing-Boing's Symphony (1956).^[31] Overall, UPA garnered 15 Oscar nominations between 1948 and 1957, with three wins, underscoring its theatrical impact.^[32] UPA's innovations extended to television, influencing low-budget formats like Hanna-Barbera's shows by proving limited animation viable for mass production without sacrificing stylistic distinctiveness.^[33] In the 1950s, the studio expanded into features, releasing 1001 Arabian Nights (1959), its first color animated feature, and Gay Purr-ee (1962), though these faced mixed reception amid shifting industry preferences toward realism.^[34] By the early 1960s, UPA's theatrical output declined due to audience fatigue with abstraction, rising TV competition, and internal challenges, leading to cessation of cartoon production around 1964 and sale of its library.^[27] Controlling interest shifted to producer Henry Saperstein, transforming UPA into a distribution entity focused on licensing, which operated until shuttering in 2000.^[35] Despite its brief peak, UPA's emphasis on economical, artist-driven design reshaped animation, fostering independence from Disney dominance and enabling broader stylistic diversity.^[36]

Places

Geographical Features

The Upa River is a lowland waterway situated entirely within Tula Oblast in central Russia, functioning as a left-bank tributary of the Oka River.^[69] Its drainage basin spans approximately 9,500 square kilometers across the northern portion of the Central Russian Upland, a region characterized by gently rolling terrain with elevations averaging around 159 meters above sea level.^[69]^[70]^[71] The river stretches 345 kilometers in length, exhibiting a meandering path through fertile plains that support agricultural activity due to the underlying loamy soils and moderate topography.^[72] The basin receives an average annual precipitation of about 540 millimeters, contributing to a temperate continental climate with seasonal flooding influences on floodplain dynamics.^[70] Hydrologically, the Upa maintains steady flow regimes typical of rivers in this upland margin, with its valley featuring broad floodplains that extend laterally and host wetland patches amid grasslands.^[71]

Settlements and Regions

Upa is a village in Kaarma Parish, Saare County, Estonia, situated at coordinates 58°17′24″N 22°32′38″E.^[73] Upá is a locality in the municipality of Matiguas, Matagalpa Department, Nicaragua, located at approximately 12°55′00″N 85°37′00″W.^[74]^[75] Upa is a settlement in the municipality of Guajiquiro, La Paz Department, Honduras, with coordinates around 14°10′00″N.^[76] Archaeological evidence indicates ancient settlements associated with the name Upa along the Upa River in Tula Oblast, Russia, including a 10th-century fortified site near the Lobynsky ravine and a Hun-period settlement designated Upa 2 within modern Tula city limits.^[77]^[78]^[79]

Science and Technology

Technical Standards and Innovations

The Universal Power Adapter (UPA) refers to a standardized power supply solution for information and communication technology (ICT) devices, developed under the auspices of the International Telecommunication Union (ITU) to promote interoperability, energy efficiency, and reduced electronic waste from proprietary chargers. The initiative builds on earlier efforts like the common EPS (Extended Power Supply) for mobile phones, extending compatibility to a broader range of portable electronics including smartphones, tablets, and other USB-powered gadgets, with specifications emphasizing safe voltage/current delivery up to 5V/1.5A or higher in compatible implementations. ITU-T Recommendation L.1007, first published in 2016, defines comprehensive test suites for UPA conformance, covering electrical performance, mechanical integrity, electromagnetic compatibility (EMC), and safety parameters to verify adapter-device interactions under various loads and environmental conditions. These tests include measurements for output ripple, efficiency (targeting over 75% under typical loads), overvoltage protection, and connector durability, ensuring adapters meet international safety norms like IEC 62368-1 for audio/video and ICT equipment. A corrigendum issued in July 2025 refined certain test protocols, addressing ambiguities in transient response evaluation and updating references to evolving USB-related standards for better alignment with contemporary device requirements. Key innovations in the UPA framework include modular adapter designs with interchangeable output plugs or wireless alignment features in later iterations, enabling a single wall charger to support multiple device types without dedicated replacements, which empirical studies link to a potential 20-50% reduction in charger production volumes globally. Unlike fragmented vendor-specific solutions, UPA prioritizes open specifications for plug-and-play functionality, fostering causal improvements in supply chain efficiency by standardizing components like GaN-based converters for compact, high-efficiency power delivery. Adoption has been gradual, with integration into regional regulations (e.g., EU eco-design directives) driving compliance, though challenges persist in enforcing universal uptake amid competition from USB Power Delivery (USB-PD) protocols.
