The Principle of Crimes and Penalties Overlapping in Saudi Criminal Law
Authors: Aljadhay Mohammed. F.
Published: February 2025

The study aims to identify the crime principle and Ta’zir (discretionary) penalties in terms of nature, domain, and status- It also highlights the position of the Arab legislative stance regarding the issue of overlapping and the Saudi situation toward it. In addition, it attempts to unveil patterns of crimes, discretionary penalties, and the correlation between crimes overlapping and apparent text conflict of criminal penalties. The study adopted the descriptive analytical approach, which analyzes legal texts on the issue, besides jurists’ attitudes relevant to the subject, to check what is in force among them. It also used the comparative approach to compare how other countries deal with the principle of overlapping with discretionary penalties and the extent to which the Saudi legislative law might benefit from the experience of those countries in developing its penal law. The study concluded that, according to the mechanism put down by the Saudi penal law, the principle of overlapping is taken into account only when the case is officially considered a crime. When it proves so, the penalty should be the most severe, as stated against penalties of the original type. The principle can be realized whenever several indivisibly correlated crimes are committed for the same purpose. In such a case, all crimes are considered one and shall receive the most severe kind of penalty inflicted upon any of them, pending that the sentence does not violate the original penalty against the corollary and complementary provisions for such crimes. In light of the findings, the study proposes numerous recommendations, the foremost of which is: to conduct further legal, social, and psychological studies to track the reasons behind committing overlapping crimes by any individual to understand the criminal’s behavior to bridge the gaps found in such crimes.

Intermediation and trust
Authors:   Amherst College, Kingston Christopher
Published: February 2025

It is well known that among a community of traders in which particular pairs of traders only transact occasionally, and have opportunities to cheat, cooperation be sustained if information about traders' reputations can circulate within the group. In many applications, however, the potential for developing reputations is limited. This paper studies how intermediaries («brokers») can help to sustain cooperation by removing the need for traders to have information about each other. Rather than trusting other traders, each of whom they interact with only occasionally, traders place their trust in the broker, with whom they each interact frequently. To illustrate, we explore the role of intermediaries in bribe transactions.

La Escuela de gestión cooperativa de Montreal y el estudio de las tensiones en la evolución de las cooperativas
Authors:   HEC Montréal, Malo Marie-Claire , Vézina Martine ,   HEC Montréal, Audebrand Luc ,   University of British Columbia
Published: February 2025

Los autores analizan las tensiones existentes en el desarrollo cooperativo inspirándose en las obras de la escuela de pensamiento de Montreal sobre gestión cooperativa, cuyas primeras contribuciones datan de la creación, en 1975, del Centro para la Gestión Cooperativa en la HEC Montreal. Los autores plantean que estudiar las tensiones representa un rasgo característico, de esta escuela de pensamiento, y que esta especificidad tiene una implicación global para el movimiento cooperativo. Las tensiones en el desarrollo cooperativo se presentan en el orden en que aparecen en el ciclo vital de una cooperativa y son clasificadas a continuación en función de su naturaleza. La aportación de esta escuela colma una laguna en el estudio de las cooperativas, en el que el análisis diacrónico está menos desarrollado que el sincrónico. Además, ello permite a los autores mostrar el punto de inflexión en el que divergen las pequeñas y las grandes cooperativas. De manera similar, se analizan las reacciones a las tensiones para ofrecer, al final, un marco integrador que pueda resultar útil para los desarrolladores de cooperativas.
Los sistemas de garantía de ingresos ante la crisis: una perspectiva territorial
Authors:   Universidad Rey Juan Carlos, Ayala Cañón Luis
Published: February 2025

El objetivo de este trabajo es estudiar algunos de los cambios en la pobreza y en otros indicadores representativos de la insuficiencia de ingresos en España, haciendo hincapié en las diferencias territoriales, así como la respuesta general de los sistemas de garantía de ingresos y la más específica de los programas de renta mínima de las comunidades autónomas. Se destaca en los resultados que algunos de los mecanismos informales de protección no han tenido la misma capacidad amortiguadora de la pobreza que en crisis anteriores. Sobresale especialmente el crecimiento de la pobreza severa, que quiebra la tendencia a la reducción mantenida durante décadas. Desde la perspectiva territorial, el resultado más destacado es la persistencia de grandes diferencias entre las comunidades autónomas en los problemas de desempleo y pobreza. El crecimiento del número de beneficiarios de los programas autonómicos de rentas mínimas ha estado compensado por un cierto aumento de la desigualdad en las cuantías ofrecidas.
Sanidad y dependencia. Atención sanitaria y servicios sociales: ¿Una cuestión de integración o sólo de coordinación?
Authors:   Universidad de Murcia, Vilaplana Prieto Cristina
Published: February 2025

Este trabajo aborda el tema de hasta dónde se debe avanzar en el terreno de la coordinación sociosanitaria. Para ello, se utilizan datos de la Encuesta Europea de Salud (2009) y se analiza el consumo de 14 prestaciones sociosanitarias en función de la edad y del grado de dependencia (aproximado por la escala Barthel). Se observa que el consumo de prestaciones aumenta con la edad y el grado de dependencia, y que existe una fuerte relación de complementariedad entre prestaciones sociales y sanitarias para algunos grupos de población. A la vista de estos resultados se realiza una propuesta de un modelo bidireccional de coordinación- integración: coordinación sociosanitaria para las personas de 75 y más años, e integración sociosanitaria para todas las personas consideradas como dependientes graves o totales, que permitiría la actualización constante de información sobre el paciente, así como las labores de reevaluación y seguimiento.

Published: February 2025

The purpose of the present study was to isolate and identify Fusarium proliferatum from infected garlic bulbs, using conventional and molecular identification techniques, as well as to evaluate the in vitro effect of new bacterial strains on the mycelial growth of F. proliferatum. Infected garlic bulb samples were collected and the phytopathogenic fungi isolated and identified using standardised conventional and molecular methods. The effect of the bacterial strains isolated from the different substrates and the filtrates of their liquid culture on the mycelial growth of F. proliferatum was studied using the direct confrontation method between F. proliferatum and the microorganism or the filtrate that may be antagonistic. The results obtained showed a precise identification of F. proliferatum responsible for garlic bulb rot and the deposit of the nucleotide sequence in the NCBI database under accession number OP820542. Three bacterial isolates with a significant inhibitory effect on the growth of F. proliferatum were isolated and selected. These isolates were identified as Bacillus subtilis (Isolat A4), Bacillus tequilensis (Isolat A11) and Pseudomonas sp. (Isolat A12) which exhibited inhibition percentages of 54.00 ± 1.00 %, 59.00 ± 1.00 %, 67.33 ± 1.70 % respectively in comparison with fluconazole 59.17 ± 0.76 %. The current study will contribute to the understanding of garlic bulb rot and to the exploration of new methods of biological control of this disease, as part of a strategy of sustainability and pesticide reduction.

Plant-derived insecticides based on essential oils (EOs) are currently considered as an excellent option to reduce the adverse effects associated with synthetic pesticides. In this study, we attempted to analyze the chemical composition, insecticidal properties, and inhibition of biological parameters, as well as to evaluate the mode of action of the bioactive components of Satureja calamintha EO about molecular targets in three life stages of the insect Callosobruchus maculatus. Gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) was used to investigate the phytochemical profile of the EO. Inhalation and contact tests with the insect Callosobruchus maculatus (C. maculatus) were carried out to evaluate the insecticidal activity, and in silico molecular docking techniques were used to assess the mode of action. The extraction of the EO yielded 1.72%, and chromatographic analysis identified 19 potentially active compounds, with pulegone (52.4%) and neo-dihydrocarveol (16.1%) as the predominant constituents. Toxicity tests conducted via contact and inhalation demonstrated significant insecticidal activity against C. maculatus after 24 hours of exposure, achieving 87% and 100% mortality, respectively. The LC50 values were determined to be 9.34 µL/L for contact toxicity and 4.43 µL/L for inhalation toxicity, while the LC95 values were 22.26 µL/L and 12.92 µL/L, respectively. Additionally, exposure to EO inhibited oviposition and emergence across all insect life stages tested. This dose-dependent inhibition reached complete suppression at a 20 µL/L concentration. In addition, exposure to EO showed inhibition of oviposition and emergence at all insect life stages tested. This inhibition increased with increasing dose, reaching complete inhibition at 20 μL/L.

A Imunodeficiência Comum Variável (ICV) é a forma mais comum de imunodeficiência primária em adultos, basicamente condiz a uma deficiência considerável na síntese de imunoglobulinas, consequentemente em hipogamaglobulinemia e infecções bacterianas incidentes, principalmente no trato respiratório e gastrointestinal. Ademais, as infecções, a ICV relacionada a uma maior incidência de enfermidades autoimunes, como anemia hemolítica e trombocitopenia, e também com o potencial elevado de desenvolvimento de malignidades, principalmente linfomas. O diagnóstico é dificultado por inúmeros fatores, implicando na identificação  tardia. O mesmo é realizado a partir de exames laboratoriais que identificam baixos níveis de imunoglobulinas e a exclusão de outras causas de imunodeficiência. O tratamento padrão inclui a reposição de imunoglobulina intravenosa ou subcutânea, que é eficaz na redução da frequência e gravidade das infecções. No entanto, o manejo das manifestações autoimunes e neoplásicas ainda representa um desafio clínico, exigindo uma abordagem individualizada para cada paciente. Nesta revisão bibliográfica, são explorados os avanços no entendimento da etiologia da doença, com foco nas descobertas genéticas recentes, que podem futuramente permitir uma estratificação mais precisa dos pacientes e o desenvolvimento de terapias mais direcionadas. A revisão também ressalta a necessidade de maior conscientização entre profissionais de saúde para o diagnóstico precoce e para a vigilância contínua das complicações a longo prazo.
Detroit ’67: Dramaturgy at the Intersection of the Theatrical Sphere and the Socio-Political Sphere
Authors: Anderson Mary , Hines Billicia , Haley Richard
Published: February 2025

This chapter investigates the authors’ reception of Dominique Morisseau’s play Detroit ’67, both in the moment of its 50th anniversary site-specific performance in 2017 and in the time that has passed since, in order to uncover Morisseau’s theory and practice of dramatic composition. Beginning with a detailed analysis of how Morisseau understands her work, based on interviews with the playwright, the chapter then turns toward a discussion of how Morisseau’s practice intersects with theories of acoustic space and embodied philosophy. As such, the chapter endeavors to work within the language of the form of theatre itself, as well as with theories from outside of theatre scholarship to make a case that Morisseau’s work operates within the theatrical sphere as well as within the socio-political sphere.

Published: February 2025

Throughout history, kinship (Baradarism) links have been essential to human social, economic, and political life. From the early phases of political advancement from coping with the typical and straightforward state of affairs to the sophisticated systems of governance used today in this age of globalism, the foundation of community and the state reflect much to this unifying force. Although familial politics are prevalent in tribal societies worldwide, these relationships continue to be crucial to the establishment of civil governments, particularly in developing nations like Pakistan, Indonesia, and the majority of African states. These connections were especially strengthened by non-democratic forces, such as military regimes, in order to reduce the influence of political parties in Pakistani politics. The aim of this study is to examine how Baradarism functions in the politics of district Jhung, Pakistan. The assessment and proof show that the Baradary technique has been one of the primary drivers shaping the democratic process since Pakistan's founding and that biradaries' politics keep playing an important function in Jhung's economic and political affairs. One cannot think of the politics of Jhung if there is no Baradary politics. This research paper aims to bring out the role of brothery in the politics of Jhung generally and in district Jhung especially. Therefore, it is to find out in a detail and well-research manner. The research paper follows the qualitative approach along with the secondary data which has been collected from various resources such as research paper, articles in newspaper and other sources. In addition to this, the theory of Structural-functionalism is applied where it focuses on the roles and functions of social institutions like biradaries in retaining stability in the society, mobilizing resources, resolving conflicts and social order.

Exploring Bicameral Dynamics: Comparative Institutional Frameworks in the Islamic World
Authors: Dr. Imtiaz Ahmad  , Abdul Waheed  , Saqib Ali
Published: February 2025

Through the institutionalism perspective, this article presents a comparative description of the bicameral legislatures within the Islamic countries. Regarding the relationship between bicameralism and political systems, it has been observed that bicameralism is a phenomenon that is widely used in many global political systems. This is because the two houses of a bicameral system perform various tasks, such as maintaining power equilibrium, providing representation, and supervising the smooth functioning of the State machinery. However, the execution of bicameralism varies according to the priority placed on the Islamic countries' political systems as well as their unique historical, cultural, and political circumstances. Because of this, this study uses case studies from a variety of Islamic nations to explain and analyze the ideas of institutionalization of bicameral legislatures and the functions of bicameral legislatures in certain Islamic countries. It examines how bicameralism has evolved historically in Islamic countries and how they have considered incorporating it into contemporary political structures. Additionally, this paper explores the ideas of bicameralism and evaluates its positive and negative aspects, including issues with accountability, representation, and legislation. Because of this, this work challenges academics and practitioners to consider the characteristics and implications of bicameral legislatures in the Islamic setting, drawing on knowledge in legislative theory, Islamic politics, and comparative politics.

The divergent manifestations of Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) in the migrant experience is central to the investigation of this research endeavor. In the novel, the trauma of Hassan results from his forced displacement from Zanzibar. The perplexed and multifaceted trauma of the protagonist is analyzed through his dissociation, emotional numbness, and the reccuring painful memories, which are emblematical of PTSD. The fragmented narrative structure and unreliable narration are the key literary techniques employed in the novel. They mirror the psychological fragmentation and the struggle of the protagonist to reconcile his traumatic past with his fragmented present existence in exile. The novel reflects the psychological effects of exile, where memory and identity become sources of constant conflict. This study positions Hassan’s trauma within the broader context of diaspora literature. It highlights how Gurnah’s portrayal of PTSD contributes to the understanding of the effects of exile and displacement on the individual psyche. This research emphasizes the challenges of the exiles in navigating their memories, identities, and sense of belonging in a foreign land. It is argued that Gurnah’s work serves as a poignant reminder of the enduring psychological impact of exile. Exile, in this context, extends beyond the immediate experience of migration and shape one’s identity and mental health.

The main purposes of higher education include developing critical thinking skills in students, preparing them for the job market, and enabling them to cope with the challenges of a fast-moving world. The two-year MS education program aims to develop strong research skills in students, enabling them to address baseline issues from classroom practices to the teaching-learning process. By the end of the program, students are expected to become independent researchers equipped with the necessary skills and expertise. This study aimed to analyze the MS education programs of public and private universities in Islamabad and Rawalpindi, focusing on instructional facilities, research activities, assessment processes, and curriculum content. It was descriptive and quantitative, involving 90 MS education students (2021-2023) and 28 teachers. Using universal sampling, data were collected from 82 students and 26 teachers through self-developed questionnaires on a five-point Likert scale, covering 46 items under the four indicators. Data were collected via personal visits and analyzed using descriptive statistics (percentage, frequency). The major findings revealed that public university classrooms are not large enough and lack multimedia and LED facilities. Private university students reported inadequate internet access. Public university students also indicated a lack of training in data analysis techniques and insufficient supervisors. Despite these issues, faculty members from both sectors gave favorable responses regarding their programs. Based on the findings, public universities should improve classroom facilities by providing multimedia and LEDs. Private universities need to address internet availability issues and ensure access to digital libraries for students. Both sectors should encourage research publication, conduct research seminars, and provide training in research ethics. Public universities should review and make their curriculum more practical, while teachers should provide constructive feedback to students.
Relationship between Legal Awareness and Attitude towards Gender Based Violence among Educated Women Living in Punjab, Pakistan
Authors: Dr. Qaisar Khalid Mahmood
Published: February 2025

The Global Gender Gap Index places Pakistan 142nd out of 146 in terms of providing equal opportunities to both genders in 2022. Pakistani women and girls are more vulnerable to various forms of gender-based violence (GBV) as compared to other developing and developed countries. The federal government of Pakistan and the provincial governments have passed various pro-women laws to provide legal protection to GBV victims and their families. Thus, there is an urgent need to educate women and girls about their legal rights as a proactive measure to counter GBV in Pakistani society. This study aims to examine the relationship between legal awareness and attitudes toward GBV among educated women living in Punjab, Pakistan. This study was quantitative in nature. The researcher used a cross-sectional survey method to collect the data from the respondents. The researcher collected data from 785 young, educated women living in Lahore. Respondents were female students and young married working women. Legal awareness was measured using a six-item Likert scale. The researcher measured attitudes towards GBV using two constructs: attitudes towards domestic violence and attitudes towards other forms of GBV. Findings indicate that the scales used for legal awareness and attitudes towards GBV were reliable and valid. Legal awareness played a significant role in predicting attitudes toward domestic violence (β = .61, R = .37, p < .05) and also explained attitudes toward other forms of GBV (β = .39, R = .15, p < .05). This study concluded that educated women with an understanding of their legal rights demonstrate increased agency in contesting societal norms that sustain violence. Therefore, there is urgent need to improve legal literacy among women, especially in settings where gender-based violence is more prevalent.

This study aimed to investigate how self-regulated learning and motivated strategies relate to one another and how this affects secondary school student’s academic performance in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa. Data was gathered from 1092 students in 78 schools across three districts using the Pintrich & De-Groot (1990) Motivated Strategies and Self-Regulated Learning Questionnaire (MSLQ), a 5-point Likert scale. Proportionate technique was used during sample selection. Yamane’s formula was used for selection of sample size. Statistical techniques including a one-sample t-test, regression, and mediation analysis was used in the data analysis process. The findings demonstrated the beneficial effects of self-regulated learning and motivated strategies on student's academic performance. These strategies included the application of cognitive strategies, self-regulation, and intrinsic values. On the other hand, test anxiety and academic achievement were inversely correlated, with lower anxiety translating into higher scores. The effects of self-regulated learning and motivated strategies on academic performance were partially mediated by self-efficacy. Test anxiety, self-regulation, intrinsic values, and cognitive strategy use all had direct effects of 97.97%, 98.95%, 55.24%, and 98.04%, respectively, although self-efficacy had a smaller indirect effect. Policymakers in the public and private sectors can benefit greatly from the findings, which show how student’s intrinsic values, cognitive techniques, and self-regulation can be improved to enhance academic performance.

Published: February 2025

In apparel choices and in appearance women of India were more indebted and more influenced towards European modernity. The origin of frock in the Indian vicinity dates back to the colonial era. As compare to the Mughal garments the adoption of European styles was more popular because of their comfort and ease in designs. Their garments were more functional and practical due to their unique styles. During the British Raj the release of “Purda” system from the Indian society was the first step towards modesty. The Western education for the females in India brings many changes particularly in sartorial choices. At the mid of the nineteenth century many American as well as British ladies from different Christian missionaries visited India. Female members of the British officials also made frequent visits to India. In this way a direct contact was established between the Indian women and the foreign ladies hence new and distinctive garments were originated from this relationship such as western frock. With the course of time the Western frock underwent various changes to suit the Indian preferences and tastes. This article is intended to highlight the evolution of Indian attire during British Raj and traces the origin of frock

This is a study on thalidomide for transfusion-dependent β-thalassemia in patients aged 8–18 years who fail standard hydroxyurea therapy. This was a single-arm trial conducted over 12 months at Alkhidmat Hajira Hamza Thalassemia Center, Abbottabad, involving 50 participants. Hemoglobin levels increased significantly from 6.2 ± 0.7 g/dL at baseline to 9.2 ± 0.5 g/dL at 12 months, with 80% achieving transfusion independence (p < 0.001). Serum ferritin decreased from 2950 ± 450 ng/mL to 950 ± 250 ng/mL, and transfusion frequency reduced to 0.4 ± 0.2 per month (p < 0.001). Spleen size reduced, and organ congestion improved along with normalization of liver size; hence, reduced hemolysis and controlled hypersplenism. Thalidomide was well tolerated; the side effects were minimal constipation (6%) and fatigue (3%); thromboembolism was reported in 4% but responded to treatment. No adverse impact on kidney or liver function was documented. These results show thalidomide as an effective and cheap therapy for hydroxyurea-resistant TDT, whereby hemoglobin improves, transfusion dependency decreases and iron overload becomes decreased. Further randomized controlled trials are needed to ascertain its long-term efficacy and to establish a further scope of clinical application in β-thalassemia management.
