Wijjo and kochoo
Authors: Tesfaye Getachew Yohannes , Mulatu Demu Zelalem
Published: July 2024

In Ethiopia, there are several types of indigenous rotating savings and cooperative associations. These indigenous associa-tions help members to save fundamental resources like money, labour, and time. Among the inhabitants of central Ethiopia, the Mareko and the Arsi-Oromo have indigenous rotating savings and cooperative institutions known as wijjo and kochoo. Wijjo is a type of indigenous rotating savings association established by neighbouring village women, with the aim of saving milk their cattle produced daily. Kochoo is a type of men's savings and cooperation association. Farmers set up this type of association so its members can take turns taking care of the cattle. For the Mareko and the Arsi-Oromo in Adami-Tulu Gido-Kombolcha, wijjo and kochoo associations are guardians of their resources. This paper assesses the role that both institu-tions play in the social and economic development of the study area.
'Wealth in people'
Authors: Nida Worku
Published: July 2024

Rotating saving and credit associations (ROSCAs) are ubiquitous in world cultures. Drawing on a case study of local-turned-transnational equbs (Ethiopian ROSCAs) in Los Angeles (L.A.) and Seattle in the USA, in this contribution, I examine how equb (and ROSCAs in other communities cross-culturally) work as forms of investment in 'good lives' and futures, the success of which depends on participants' 'wealth in people' values. By extending the 'wealth in people' framework into the discourses of ROSCAs, I show how intersubjectively assessing equb actors' 'wealth in people' values is vital to the success and workings of equbs, through which investment capital is created by and for the participants. In doing so, I offer three fresh insights. First, equb actors (leaders and members) are repositories of 'wealth in people' that consists of embodied and embedded relationships and personal characters. Second, equbs (ROSCAs broadly) are key resources with which marginalized immigrant and local groups fight against financial, social, and racial exclusion, and create diasporic communities. Third, I show how actors perform both as investors and borrowers in the creative practices and processes of equbs, through which they actively mobilize and create various forms of capital and deploy 'wealth in people' to create 'wealth in things' (money, properties, and businesses) and diaspora communities such as Little Ethiopia in L.A. In doing so, I juxtapose Little Ethiopia with ROSCA-mediated formation of other immigrants enclaves (namely, Chinatown and Koreatown) and 'racial enclaves' (such as the African-American communities in Tulsa and Durham).

Affirmative Perspektiven auf das Bleiben in ländlichen Räumen
Authors: Rühmling Melanie , Brumme Robert
Published: July 2024

Melanie Rühmling und Robert Brumme widmen sich in diesem Beitrag dem bisher noch unscheinbaren Phänomen des Bleibens in ländlichen Räumen. Sie stellen unterschiedliche Bleibenslebensweisen in ländlichen Räumen vor und diskutieren, wie es wäre, wenn der Diskurs um die ländlichen Lebensverhältnisse nicht durch die Abwanderung geprägt wird, sondern ein Gehen und Bleiben gleichwertig nebeneinandersteht. So rückt die Gruppe der Gebliebenen ebenso in den Mittelpunkt und das Image »der Zurückgebliebenen« wird obsolet.
Texte vererben
Authors: Witt Amalia
Published: July 2024

Was geschah mit den unfertigen Texten französischer Autor*innen im 16. und 17. Jahrhundert, wenn sie verstarben? Amalia Witt beleuchtet Fragen des Erbens und Vererbens von Texten anhand der außergewöhnlichen Freundschaft zwischen dem Autor Montaigne und Marie de Gournay, einer der ersten Herausgeberinnen und Autorinnen der Frühen Neuzeit. Im Zentrum steht dabei das literarische und gesellschaftliche Umfeld Marie de Gournays, die als unverheiratete, alleinlebende und politikinteressierte Frau einen für die damalige Zeit außergewöhnlichen Lebensweg beschritt. Die Analyse zeigt nicht nur das beachtliche kreative Potenzial dieser besonderen Verbindung auf, sondern stellt auch heute noch etablierte hegemoniale Rollenbilder in der Literatur infrage.
»Die Natur, die wir selbst sind«
Authors: Richter Nicola Sophie
Published: July 2024

Nicola Sophie Richter fordert in ihrem Beitrag eine kritische Reflexion des Naturbegriffs. In diesem Kontext stellt sie die Phänomenologie der Natur nach Gernot Böhme als eine alternative Erkenntnisform vor, die das sinnlich-leibliche Erleben und die Selbsterfahrung betont und sich von der objektivierenden Naturwissenschaft abgrenzt. Angesichts der aktuellen Umweltprobleme und der anthropogenen Veränderungen der äußeren Natur, die unmittelbar erfahrbar sind, gewinnt diese Perspektive auf Natur durch die Fokussierung auf den Leib an Bedeutung. Richter unterstreicht durch den phänomenologischen Ansatz die Bedeutung der leiblichen Dimension in Bildungsprozessen und argumentiert, dass diese als leiblich verankerte Erfahrungsprozesse verstanden werden sollten. Als eine Möglichkeit, die leiblichen Erfahrungen im Unterricht sprachlich zu (v)erfassen, wird die Innsbrucker Vignettenforschung zur Anwendung gebracht.
Von «David und Jonathan» zum «Gay Giur College»
Authors: Gerson Daniel
Published: July 2024

Das Judentum ist seit der Spätantike keine missionierende Religionsgemeinschaft mehr. Um so faszinierender ist es zu beobachten, dass moderne Formen des Judentums, sozusagen als Nischenprodukt, heute attraktiv werden für queere nichtjüdische Menschen, die eine neue religiös-spirituelle Gemeinschaft suchen. In vielen Ländern der Diaspora zählen die jüdischen Gemeinschaften nach dem Holocaust zu den staatlich besonders geschützten Minderheiten. Das heute international anerkannte Opfernarrativ birgt auch eine gewisse Attraktivität für queere Menschen durch ein Schutzversprechen, das die jüdischen Gemeinschaften als "Safe Space" übernehmen können.
Mensch-Wolf-Beziehungen in den Alpen
Authors: Schröder Verena
Published: July 2024

Wölfe kehren in den Alpenraum zurück und sorgen insbesondere in der Land- und Jagdwirtschaft für dynamische Veränderungen. Basierend auf Ansätzen des klassischen Pragmatismus, des agentiellen Realismus und der Resonanztheorie identifiziert die Studie die Koexistenz von Menschen und Wölfen als leibliche Praxis, die beide Seiten wechselseitig hervorbringt. Anhand von ethnographischen Untersuchungen in den Schweizer Alpen können so neue Einsichten in Mensch-Wolf-Begegnungen, in transformative Erfahrungen sowie in Grenzziehungen gewährt werden. Verena Schröder stellt den menschlichen Kontrollanspruch über Tiere in Frage und liefert Denkanstöße für ein Miteinander, in dem Wölfe nicht als Bedrohung, sondern als Mit-Wesen gedacht werden und die Interessen aller Beteiligten Berücksichtigung finden.

Pädagogik ist politisch! Um der vielfach diagnostizierten Krise der Demokratie zu begegnen und radikaldemokratische Gesellschaftsansätze zu stärken, fordert Katarina Schneider-Bertan eine Neuerfindung der kritischen Pädagogik. Dazu setzt sie sich erstmals im deutschsprachigen Raum mit Henry A. Giroux' Ansatz der »Critical Pedagogy« auseinander, der international als eines der bedeutendsten pädagogischen Konzepte gilt. Im Fokus stehen dessen diskursive Bezugspunkte, die im kritischen Spektrum von Philosophie, Kulturwissenschaften und der Politischen Theorie neue Handlungsräume für Demokratie und Gerechtigkeit eröffnen, aber auch zu einer Neuinterpretation der Diskurse über Migration und Feminismus einladen.
Democratic Nationalism in Scotland
Authors: Rückheim Philipp
Published: July 2024

Scotland's quest for statehood is a paradigmatic case of democratic nationalism. Philipp Rückheim highlights the crucial role of inclusion in this sentiment, distinguishing the political collective based on place of residence and the national collective based on identity. Case studies on national symbols such as anthem, language, and parliament show how to maintain national identity while integrating newcomers. Furthermore, the impact of religion, education, and the economy on Scotland's quest for autonomy links the functional differentiation of world society with nationalism - offering insights for anyone seeking to understand the interplay of democracy and nationalism in world society.

QCA-BASED design of reversible hamming code encoding, decoding and correcting circuits
Authors: Galadima Bahijja Yahaya , Shehu Musa Galadanci Garba
Published: July 2024

This work proposes a model of a low-power hamming code generator (HCG) circuit for single-bit data with 11 cells, based on a reversible Feynman gate. A circuit is implemented for error detector parity bit (EDP) in hamming coding for message signals of three bits with 21 cells. To ensure optimum functionality, the suggested circuits and their theoretical values are verified using the QCA Designer simulator version 2.0.3, and the energy dissipation of the circuits is estimated using the QCA Designer-E. The results for the simulation show that the proposed circuits improve the occupied area by 82.5% and the cell counts by 66.6% for the HCG circuits. Additionally, the EDP circuit improves the occupied area by 55% and the cell counts by 25%. The error-correcting circuit with coplanar crossover achieves 30.5% in the occupied area and 16.7% cell reduction. The result also proves that energy dissipation by the proposed circuit increases as the cell count increases. As such, the cell count, area, and energy dissipation performance are all greatly improved by the proposed Hamming coding circuit. This shows that QCA-based reversible circuits are more energy-efficient, quicker, and denser than other types, which makes them a good option for usage in upcoming nanoscale integrated circuit applications.
Graph-Based Technique for Searching Structured Databases
Authors: Hassan Mohammad
Published: July 2024

This paper presents a graph-based technique for searching structured or relational databases using keyword queries in a similar wayto search text files using search engines. Our approach depends on identifying first the data within a database that are most likely to provide the useful result to the raised query and then search only the identified data. The proposed search algorithm uses an undirected weighted graph data structure for implementing the search process. To construct the graph, we introduced a modified function for computing edge weights which measure the connections among vertices in the graph. Experiments and the prototype implementation on real datasets prove that the proposed model is feasible and supports searching relational databases using keyword queries.Â

The heterogeneous Fenton-like reaction is one of the most promising and effective treatment methods for the degradation of organic pollutants. In the present study, a detailed investigation on synthesis, characterization, and catalytic activity studies for oxidative degradation of methyl orange (MO) solution by iron oxide-immobilized montmorillonite KSF (Fe-MKSF) and pristine iron oxide catalysts were performed. The catalysts were synthesized via an impregnation-hydrothermal method using an autoclave reactor. Interestingly, the Fe-MKSF showed the highest catalytic removal of MO (85%) compared to the pristine iron oxides (30%) and MKSF (52%). This finding is well supported by the significant increase in surface area of the Fe-MKSF compared to the pristine catalysts (105.8 m2/g [Fe-MKSF] vs 52.2 m2/g [iron oxide] and 74.2 m2/g [MKSF]). The increased in surface area is favorable in having high accessibility of reactants towards the catalystsâ€™ active sites which enable to diminish limitations in mass transfer during the reaction. These traits proved to be essential for the improved catalytic activity of the Fe-MKSF catalyst.Â Â Â

Published: July 2024

The hat-section tubes are a typical steel profile used in many structural applications. Among metals, steels are strong and excellently tough, but relatively heavy. The objective of this study is to investigate the possibility and generate design information on the uniaxial bending, impact, and energy absorption characteristics of hat-section tube with combination of lighter material. In this project, aluminium plate was used as a closed-plate to replace the relatively heavy mild steel plate. Finite element (FE) models were developed using ABAQUS and validated through experiment. Parametric studies were conducted mainly for investigating the dynamic impact response of the combined-material tubes. Present works were also compared with existing results of conventional tubes in order to demonstrate their workability. Results show that the use of alum closed-plate is a promising option for lighter hat-section tube while maintaining its strength and functionality. This was assured in comparison with conventional ones. In addition, wall thickness remains the most influential factor that affects crashworthiness characteristics of ductile materials in particular.Â

A Review on Framework for Credit Outlook in Islamic Finance: a Personal Financial Perspective
Authors: Hasnol Alwee Md Salleh Md , Abdullah Rose , Maamor Selamah
Published: July 2024

With the development of Islamic finance since the 1970s, numerous Islamic financial concepts and products had been developed, providing the opportunity for Muslims to acquire goods and services using debt-based financing, whilst adhering to Shariâ€™ah, notably the prohibition of riba. Islam also places significant importance towards fulfilling the rights of the creditor by repaying oneâ€™s debt and avoiding the risks of indebtedness that would harm oneself and others. Given the delicate balance between permissibility and the wary nature on credit, this study attempts to provide a framework on credit, notably in view of the contemporary financial world of today, by bringing into context the Life Cycle Hypothesis and empirical research on saving motives. Utilizing the Maqasid al-Shariâ€™ah, the resulting framework establishes three main lines of inquiry that should be considered, prior to the attainment of credit. A preliminary discussion and recommendations is also described, emphasizing the important role of both credit and non-credit alternatives, to be considered and created by Islamic Financial Institutions.Â Â

Cloud computing is considered as the cost-efficient and practical resolution for group data sharing within the cloud group members. Unluckily, distributing data in a multi- owner way and defending data with unique privacy in cloud is a challenging issue because of the repeated change or deletion of the members. The proposed multi-owner group management system uses novel scheme GCAURDL-FBS( Group Creation, Add Member, Revocation, Deletion, Login with Forward & Backward Secrecy) to control overall group management. GCAURDL-FBS using SDBAES (Secure Dynamic Bits Advance Encryption Standard) secures the group data sharing. The major objectives of this research is 1) data security, 2) data integrity, 3) data sharing without using secret key re-computation / re-encryption, 4) forward and backward secrecy, 5) proper group owner / member revocation and 6) avoiding collusion attack, brute force attack and Structured Query Language Injection attack. Any member in group can confidently impart their information through entrusted server. Owner / Member revocation is achieved by a novel scheme; it is not necessary to compute/alter the secret keys of other members. The proposed scheme supports data integrity and efficient group member/owner revocation. Ultimately, it is found that, proposed scheme is also secure, scalable and efficient in relative to the relevant schemes. This is revealed in the security and tentative analysisÂ Â

Improved MANET Routing Protocols Performance using Optimization Methods
Authors: Ebady Manaa Mehdi , Dheyaa Shamsi Sadeem
Published: July 2024

A Mobile Ad-hoc Network (MANET) is a combination of mobile nodes that contact and cooperate with one another without depending on any predefined infrastructure. Reactive protocols are on-demand routing protocols detect the routes between sender and receiver. These protocols do not keep any network topology information and there is no need to exchange routing information periodically so it saves much control overhead. Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) algorithm is an inspired algorithm because it imitates the sociological behavior associated with bird crowd. PSO similar the other evolutionary algorithms based on population; PSO start with random solutions of the population. Bat algorithm (BAT) is a metaheuristic algorithm and its idea comes from the echolocation conduct of microbats, with disparity pulse averages of emission and loudness, used for global optimization.

Customer Churn Prediction model (CCP)aims to detect customers with a high propensity to leave. The target of this research is to handle a large scale Telecommunication Company and identify potential churn. In the proposed research, Predictive Mean Matching (PMM) algorithm used to handle missing values, instead of removing features or observations with high missing data.First Ensemble Machine learning classifieris offered to investigate and compare the combining of an Ensemble learner based on Generalized Linear Model (GLM) and the prediction values based on tree model using a Random Forest classifier. The suggested CCP model employed the Weighted Accuracy and Diversity (WAD) as an algorithm to find the optimal weights for the proposed Ensemble classifier.The second Ensemble learner based on the generalized linear model is incorporated of penalized methods (Ridge, Lasso,and ElasticNet) with a Logistic Regression method on the binomial family. Randomly generate values between [0, 1] became the weights for this classifier. The Weights are selected according to the principle that weights of highervalue are assigned for great performance classifier to ensure the highestaccuracy of Churn Prediction model. 10-fold, based on five times repeated Cross-Validation (CV) performance technique used to enable efficient and automatic search for the optimal value of lambda Î» parameter for penalization methods.The two Ensemble classifiers incorporated within a customer churn prediction model to handle a large scale dataset, time-dependent features label, and an imbalance data distribution in the Telecommunication industry.Experimental results show an increasein predictive performance. In addition, the results depicted that using of ensemble learning has brought a significant improvement for individual base learners in terms of performance indicators such as Area under Curve (AUC), sensitivity, specificity, Accuracy, and Mean Square Error(MSE), Accuracy is the best candidates for churn prediction tasks.Â Â

The cylindrical pipes carrying pressurized fluid at high-temperature environment have many engineering applications such as cooling systems of the power plant. In this paper, the effect of the presence of crack and the thermal stress distribution of the pipe has been studied numerically. The â€œmode Iâ€ type of crack has been considered for the study. The stress distributions, stress intensity factor and J-integral calculations were considered. The results have been validated with an available analytical solution for a pristine cylinder. Special attention and mesh scheme has been used around the crack to obtain the accurate stress distributions. The temperature and stress variations for pressurized fluids with different heat transfer coefficients and pipeâ€™s conductivity were studied. It was found that the convection heat transfer coefficient has an accountable effect on the stress distributions. The stresses increased by 5% for different heat transfer coefficient without cracks. Moreover, the stress intensity factor and the J-integrals were calculated for different crack length ratios. The stress intensity factor increased by 14% when the crack length ratio is 0.7. In addition, the effect of pipe thermal conductivity has been studied. It was found that the thermal conductivity influences the stress distributions, stress intensity factor and J-integral values. The stresses decreased by 15% with increasing the thermal conductivity without cracks, the J-integral and the stress intensity factor decreases as the thermal conductivity of the pipe increases for different crack length ratios.Â Â

Published: July 2024

This paper introduces randomness-based audio steganography with magic square and magic cube cryptography methods that are respectively based on (LSB) or Least Significant, with National institute of Standards and Technology(NIST)and enhancement of LSB audio steganography.This enhancement is based on the mathematical foundations of the magic squareby using three algorithms with any order or any size. Magic square is a branch of mathematical combinatorics. It is one of the different arrays in magic number arrangements. The new proposed technique focuses on normal magic cubes of order from (3to n). The values inside the designed magic cube are used as an index to audio cover locations. These scrambled locations (according to the keys of magic cube) in audio cover are used to LSB embed secret text message. In order to increase the security of the proposed system, the starting number, the difference value, the dimension, and the values inside the magic cube are kept as a secret key. The National institute of Standards and technology (NIST) package is successfully used to test the randomness of the magic cube's keys values. peak signal to noise ratio (PSNR) of audio stegocovers are(62.65743352-79.57336476) dB in which the size of secret text message (256-16) bits.Â Â  Â

Published: July 2024

Sustainable industrialisation is one of the seventeen Sustainable Development Goals formulated by the United Nations. It has a crucial role to play in achieving sustainability, because it is the driving mechanism for development of a countryâ€™s economy and instrumental to several environmental and social problems. For a developing country like India, it can ensure development in the right direction. Gujarat is one of the most industrialised states in India with high economic returns from the industrial systems but high levels of pollution as well. Some of the most polluted industrial towns in India and the world have been listed from Gujarat. For the past few decades, practices in sustainable industrial infrastructure have been playing a vital role in providing innovative solutions to complicated environmental problems, globally. Gujarat has been a leading State in India to promote these initiatives. The research paper intends to study and understand the direction of sustainable industrial development in Gujarat and presents the SWOT analysis of the existing situation. It includes case discussion of various cleaner production techniques, eco-efficiency and waste management practices.Â Â Â

Authors: Stojce Ilcev Dimov
Published: July 2024

In this article is proposed and described new solution for ship tracking via surveillance radars onboard of Stratospheric Platform Sys-tems (SPS) or as known as High Altitude Platforms (HAP). Such tracking system has significant competitive edge in contrast to the surveillance radar at shore or onboard ships, aircraft and spacecraft. The idea and proposal of employing Tracking Surveillance Radars (TSR) onboard SPS is novel and very cost effective as well. Such a system is suitable to be implemented for control of maritime traffic and tracking of ships at sea, approaching to the anchorage, in passages and in coastal waters where must be provided higher security and safety conditions. The TSR system works very similar as radar installed onshore and used for observation and controlling certain part of sea areas for seagoing ships or air space for aircraft. The new proposal of possible placing of TSR onboard three SPS stations between Grate Britain and Ireland islands is presented as well.Â Â

Published: July 2024

This paper presents Capacitive Power Transfer (CPT) design for low power application using Arduino Uno Switching Pulse Width Modulation (PWM). Generally, the CPT system consists of primary side direct current to alternate current (DC-to-AC) resonant converter that converts DC to high frequency AC energy to the secondary side receiver via energy medium transfer. The secondary side is not connected electrically with the primary side, which is movable (linearly or/and rotating) to offer flexibility, mobility, and safety for supplied loads. The CPT that is examined in this study used TC 4422 and Class E MOSFETs as the main components to power the circuit, which is supported by Arduino Uno technologies to produce PWM signal. One advantage of this circuit is that the Class E MOSFETs yields low switching losses. In technical terms, the performance of CPT is determined by applying 250 kHz frequency and 12 V DC voltage (Adapter) via TC44422 and Class E MOSFETs circuits. Lastly, a CPT prototype has been successfully developed with 0.1 cm air gap between the two plates and generated sufficient power from the transmitter to the receiver plate to power up the devices. Based on the experimental outputs, the prototype exerted 85.49% of efficiency to transmit power, wherein the secondary plate received power at 5.85 V peak and 250 kHz. This research is beneficial for electrical hazardous environment, moveable applications, consumer electronics, and medical implants.Â Â
