The Outlook of Akhism to the Economic Life and Its Comparison with Capitalist System
Authors: Ozdemir Metin
Published: April 2022

The fact that human beings, the exceptional beings of the world, can maintain their vitality in trust and prosperity is depended on its success in production to meet its own needs, which is largely expressed as economics, and its justice-based behavior in consumption and sharing. In this sense, it is clearly not possible to realize the welfare and happiness of the world with the capitalistic system containing Neo-Liberal politics, which takes the sole purpose of capital accumulation by maximizing profits without any ethical anxiety. However, this capitalistic system is still being implemented as an economic system without an alternative in the majority of the World. On the other hand, in the Akhism whose the basic principles are the Islamic values, it is possible to see that much more reasonable principles are adopted both in the name of general welfare and peace of mankind, and also in the sense of sensitivity to the environment. In this work, both systems will be compared in order to promote the foundation of world peace and the general prosperity of humanity.
The Effect of Motivation on the Tendency to Quit: A Field Study
Authors: Durak Aydin
Published: April 2022

There are many factors that motivate employees in organizations. In the presence of these factors, the employee's performance and thus production increases. In addition, as a result of the lack of motivation, many consequences result in negative consequences. One of these consequences is quitting the job. In other words, it can be said that individuals who are not motivated will leave their jobs over time. It can be stated that the person who is motivated towards his / her job and environment in the place of work will depend on his / her job and will not think of leaving his / her job. Considering the time and cost of employing employees, it is an important issue that managers show the necessary sensitivity to the concept of motivation. Thus, it can be said that there is a correlation between the level of motivation and the tendency to quit. In this study, the effect of motivation on the tendency to quit was examined and a conceptual framework was formed by first researching the literature on the subject. Later, the field study was explained and the findings obtained were presented through tables and interpreted and the results reached were evaluated.

Determination of optimal designs for geothermal energy piles in the soil supporting a multi-storey building
Authors: Žlender Bojan , Jelušič P.
Published: April 2022

The article presents the optimal design of geothermal energy piles supporting a multi-story building at different pile spacing. The optimization model OPTPILE, based on the construction cost of the single pile, was used for this purpose. It was provided with geotechnical and structural design constraints that satisfy the requirements of building codes. The optimal design of a geothermal energy pile was studied for a 10-storey building with different pile spacing. So far, only a single energy pile has been optimized and therefore the spacing between the piles has not yet been considered in the design. However, in this work, pile spacing is taken into account by considering the entire load distribution of the multi-story building. A 3D beam-slab frame was created to determine the pile loads. The recommendation for the optimal design of geothermal energy pile spacing for a 10-storey building was developed. The results show that the optimal pile spacing (square distribution) for a 10-storey building is about 7 m. The construction cost for all thermal pile foundations and concrete structural components for a 10-storey building is estimated to be 101.1 €/m2. The optimal architecturally reasonable spacing of piles with a square distribution for a 10-storey building is 8.5 m. In this case, the cost of the concrete structural elements of the building and the piles increases by 1% to 102.1 €/m2. The cost of installing the heating pipes in the pile is about 1 €/m2.

CHATBOT MOVIE RECOMMENDER SYSTEM
Authors: Singh Akarshita
Published: April 2022

This paper deals with the recommender engine and chatbot through python using machine learning, artificial intelligence, to assist movie buffs by recommending what film to watch without requiring them to go through the timeconsuming and complex process of selecting from a vast number of films ranging from thousands to millions. Our goal in this post is to decrease human effort by recommending movies based on the user's preferences. To address these issues, we developed a paradigm that combines both a content-based and a collaborative approach. When compared to other systems that use a content-based approach, it will provide more explicit results. People are limited by content-based recommendation systems; these algorithms do not prescribe things out of the box, restricting your ability to learn more. As a result, when used in a chatbot, it produces reliable results.

Optimized cross-modality guided contrast enhancement for liver tumor segmentation
Authors: Aroop Mr. D.S
Published: April 2022

Radiologists currently use CT images with intravenous contrast infusion, in order to detect lesions and vessels in the liver. This step is quite time consuming when it is done manually. There are many algorithms developed for segmentation which are based on edge or region characteristics. These are dependent on the quality of the image. The contrast of a CT or MRI image plays an important role in identifying region of interest i.e. lesion(s). Traditional enhancement methods suffer from limitations such as saturation, over-enhancement, and uneven contrast spatial distribution that may result from the uncontrolled CE process. One way to overcome such limitations is to combine the contrast enhancement approach with a quality control scheme. One way to overcome such limitations is to combine the contrast enhancement approach with a quality control scheme. Inspired by the guided filtering approach and the simplicity of context-aware histogram-based image quality enhancement, propose in this paper a cross-modality guided histogram specification technique to improve the contrast of liver CT images using MRI images as guiding input data. The proposed method is based on two concepts, namely guided image enhancement and image quality control through an optimization scheme. The proposed OPTimized Guided Contrast Enhancement (OPTGCE) scheme exploits both contextual information from the guidance image and structural information from the input image. Tumor segmentation algorithm is applied on the enhanced images to analyze the performance of the proposed method in facilitating tumor segmentation. The qualitative and quantitative analysis using metrics including entropy, MCCEE, and MIGLCM shows the superiority of the proposed method in comparison with the existing methods that do not include guidance mechanism Keywords—: Cross-modality, contrast enhancement, 2D histogram specification (HS), SSIM gradient, tumor segmentation.

Altafsir Al'iishariu Eind Aibn Kathir Rahimah Allah
Authors: Bakhit Bakri Muhammad
Published: April 2022

Tafsir (interpretation) becomes famous and classified according to what prevailed in terms of interpretation type. Ibn Kathier’s interpretation is one of the interpretations that depended on statements, but despite this, this book is not devoid of interpretation by opinion, such as indicative interpretation. Therefore, it is important for me to write about this subject with the aim of serving and introducing this interpretation, particularly in this aspect that was not mentioned by the predecessors, and also with the aim of explaining the acceptable type of the indicative interpretation. The reason for choosing this topic is that I did not find anyone who addressed this topic in his definition of this interpretation, as well as my desire to explain Ibn Kathier’s approach, which he adopted it with acceptable Taweel (paraphrasing) and rejected every paraphrasing far from the meaning of the verse.

In writing the material for this research, I adopted the inductive and descriptive approaches, dividing its material into two sections. In the first one, I mentioned his replies on the paraphrased interpretations. I concluded to the most important results: namely, his adoption of the indicative interpretation indicates that Ibn Katheer - May God have mercy on him – worked diligently to figure out the meanings of the verses for every righteous path. The second section, in which he adopted the indicative interpretation, gives a model of acceptable interpretation. His rejection of some paraphrased interpretations of the predecessors, indicated his mastering of the subject and his broad knowledge, and that he was visionary critic and did not only dealt with transmission. This approach gives his interpretation great scholarly value

Published: April 2022

This study investigates the connection between feminism with social networking and assesses social media's potential to serve as an important forum for the promotion of modern feminism goals. Feminism's influence declined in the ages until social networking became an important aspect of society and female viewpoints were sceptical that it might be resurrected or popularised again. In current history, though, people have utilised social networks to collaborate and distribute progressive concepts. The emergence of "hashtag feminism" has resulted in a radical change in the way femininity is practised and argued for in popular society. Educational women are posing a number of important concerns in view of this drastic change in location for female discussions: Is social platforms beneficial to empowerment and the pursuit of egalitarian goals? This article contends that social network has given feminists a voice to tell their experiences, and has helped in the formation of feminist communities. That's also modern feminism most critical work since it makes us more open to progressive values and concepts, changing our world into one that will embrace and battle for feminism's goals. This paper would look at a number of case reports wherein feminist debates have taken social media by storm. It would assess the effect of social networking as a forum for progressive arguments and the usage of social platforms as a feminism medium in the struggle to accomplish feminism's goals.

Authors: Gull Shayesta , Shaheen Syed Sabahat
Published: April 2022

The most often utilised approach to migration research has traditionally focused on movement of persons because of economic mobility. Improving the financial status of migrants and having an influence on their socioeconomic status is just as crucial, but when it comes to analysing the effects of migration, it does not truly enhance the economic and social standing of the migrants. This paper compiles the many ways in which people of various demographics are burdened by migration, including the social isolation and constrained mobility that it causes, and the ramifications of this confinement for migrant women, specifically the propensity to stay inside their homes and rise up the social ladder. Other subjects touched on in the study include the different effects that shape migrant women's perspectives, with a focus on matters beyond their initial choice and those brought on by social and political environments.

Yemen's Dilemma of Forces and the Design of Many Security-Political Scenarios
Authors: Majeed Amir A.
Published: April 2022

The security of activists, especially in the regional arena, is regarded in international relations studies as one of the most agreed concepts in the country's foreign policy; in particular, political security issues following the developments of the Islamic revolution in the region are a sort of interconnectedness between regional actors.

The dilemma has led to an escalation of security issues in the Middle East. For this cause, international players with shared interests in the Middle East today have traditionally concentrated on regional security assemblies in order to ensure their existence. One of the security issues in the Middle East in this respect is the Yemen crisis, which may expand the security of the crisis to other regions. Thus, as an aggressive player and regional authority, the Islamic Republic of Iran has tried to pursue a protection and defense approach to the nation-to-state of Yemen in order to preserve its internal stability from the eruption of the crisis in Yemen.  The aim of the debate on the Islamic Republic of Iran's activities was therefore on topics such as attempts to sustain the axis of resistance, to retain its theological and regional power, as well as Yemen's geopolitical stability.  At the same time, the key premise of the present analysis is that, on the basis of which foreign policy strategy can be evaluated, the positions of the Islamic Republic of Iran against the crisis in Yemen?  The following theory is put forward in order to provide a reasonable answer to this question: the Islamic Republic of Iran has taken a security approach to this situation, recognising Yemen's strategic role in regional equations and strengthening its security factor in the region.
A Subaltern Study on Dalit Women, Sangati: Culture of Silence
Authors: Singh Tarun
Published: April 2022

Dalit males are at the bottom of the pyramidical caste system in Indian culture, while Dalit women are allocated a place much below. Because they are at the bottom of the social hierarchy, Dalit women are often mistreated and exploited by Dalit men and higher castes. The women of the lower castes are well aware of the helpless situation in which they find themselves. In Bama's book Sangati: Events, Dalit girls and women are described as constantly remaining mute while being humiliated and reduced to the status of non-human beings. These silences are much more significant to them than words, and they use them as a weapon against all kinds of negativity until they reach adulthood. This essay builds on Bama's Sangati: Events by looking at Dalit women's situation and the manner in which they absorb, maintain, and combat the culture of silence.

The Question of Multiculturalism in Assam: Shaping and Re-shaping Identity
Authors: Dixit Satish , Singh Rajesh Kumar
Published: April 2022

The Indian people have taken satisfaction in being regarded as "unity in variety" even in the face of social unrest, political agitation, and a deteriorating economy. In order to guarantee that this is the case, many provisions of the Indian Constitution have been adopted. However, while India has not declared multiculturalism to be a national policy, its spirit has always been a part of the country's history and culture. Historically, the northeastern region of the country has been isolated from the rest of the country, creating concerns regarding its inclusion in the true sense of the term since the colonial era. Assam, one of the region's eight states, is home to a varied spectrum of ethnic, religious, and linguistic groups, making it a very interesting place to visit. As a consequence, identity politics has played a crucial part in the consolidation of the country's identity. Jihad and murder have played a significant role in Assam's identity politics throughout its history. On occasion, both the federal and state administrations have attempted to satisfy the demands of different political parties; yet, there have been persistent calls for autonomy and independence in various parts of the state. This dissertation is a modest effort to look at the Indian state's and ethnic groups' attempts to embrace the spirit of diversity in Assam from a historical perspective.

Authors: Asma Hashim  , Syed Mohammad Faisal  , Ahmad Khalid Khan
Published: April 2022

India has a sizable and successful consumer class, which is critical given that household consumption accounts for 60% of GDP. Total market value is calculated by adding the monetary or market values of all final goods and services produced inside a nation's borders. Additionally, the gross domestic product at market value (GDP at market value) may be employed to reflect this total market value. Total domestic production is defined in terms of GDP to assess the economy's health. GDP is computed on a quarterly or yearly basis, depending on the state of the economy at the moment. Human capital is a country's most important natural resource, and it must be used appropriately and acknowledged to accomplish long-term economic goals sustainably. India is the world's second-most populated nation, with 1.3 billion people behind China. According to the World Bank, India's global influence has grown in lockstep with its consistent economic success. Compared to wealthier nations, emerging countries have several obstacles, including a lack of infrastructure and a low per capita income. Another issue that has to be addressed is the growth of rural economic systems. According to some experts, India's current economic instability will culminate in an unprecedented economic boom, which they believe has already begun.

Authors: Akwasi Bosompem Boateng  , Stephen Tindi
Published: April 2022

The outbreak of COVID-19 in 2019 challenged universities in sub-Saharan Africa to reinvent themselves and rely more on digital technologies for curriculum delivery. Before the pandemic, technology use in curriculum delivery was ad-hoc and depended mainly on teachers' self-efficacy. This article investigates how teachers in higher education institutions (HEIs) in Ghana appropriated new media technologies for teaching and research before the outbreak of COVID-19. This study explored the new media technologies used by teachers, their motivations for using them, how they used them, and the challenges they encountered in their appropriation of technologies for curriculum delivery. The study triangulated in-depth interviews and semi-structured questionnaires to gather data from university teachers who are members of the Communication Educators Association, Ghana (CEAG). Thematic and descriptive analyses were employed to analyze data collected through interviews and surveys. The study revealed that communication educators mostly used Google Scholar, YouTube, and Facebook. Their choices and usage of these new media were influenced by personal preference and the perceived usefulness of digital technologies to teaching and research. Communication educators face several challenges in using digital technologies; these include unstable internet connection, low digital literacy, and financial constraints, which impede their appropriation of new media technologies. The adoption and adaption of new media among communication educators is consistent with the Technology Appropriation Theory, and practicality rather than pedagogical imperatives drive their usages. The study concludes that teachers must carefully plan the deployment of new media in curriculum delivery; therefore, communication educators require institutional support and policy guidelines to appropriate and deploy new media technologies effectively.

Authors: Richard Bukaliya
Published: April 2022

This study investigated the role of extra lessons in the general administration of the secondary schools in Chegutu, Zimbabwe. The case study design was adopted. Interviews, focus group discussions and document analysis was used to collect data. Twenty-three participants, consisting of 8 teachers, 6 learners, 6 parents and 3 school inspectors were purposively sampled. Findings revealed that the general administration of schools was affected by extra lessons. Extra lessons helped in raising the school pass rates. They helped build a good image for the schools and assisted in the reduction of the teachers` workload. However, the lessons created a dent in teacher professionalism. Teachers were accused of neglecting formal schoolwork by creating a demand for extra lessons among learners. The lessons also contributed to indiscipline among learners. Relations between learners and teachers were also strained. The study recommended that extra lessons should continue as they reduced the workload for teachers and provided a conducive working environment at the school. It is prudent that MOPSE, school heads and parents monitor work given to learners during normal school hours to avoid the creation of artificial demand for extra lessons.
