RECLAIMING POLITICAL AND RELIGIOUS AUTHORITY: A CRITICAL STUDY OF WOMEN'S PARTICIPATION IN MAINSTREAM POLITICS IN PAKISTAN
Authors: MUHAMMAD UMAR RIAZ ABBASI et al.
Published: June 2023

Women account for over half of the global population, yet women are politically marginalized and underrepresented in third-world countries. Long-standing conventional structural and socio-economic difficulties hurt their mobility, socialization, political and electoral engagement, and participation in decision-making forums. They cannot make significant changes to socio-political trends because of their limited effectiveness. Their political emancipation was weakened and domesticated by Pakistan's traditional patriarchal mentality and the emergence of Islamic extremism. Although women in Pakistan have overcome the obstacles above and increased their representation in Parliament, they still have a bit of a way to go before actively participating in the decision-making process. Over time, there has been a growing realization that the only way to achieve a gender-balanced society that addresses women's issues is to encourage greater participation of women in governance structures. There are significant differences in women's political participation in diverse parts of the globe. This study examines the reasons for the increase in the number of women in legislatures in other parts of the world, focusing on South Asia and presenting the case of Pakistan. This study focuses on the political participation of Pakistani women. The Pakistani Parliament in 2002 now shows the highest level of feminine representation in the country’s history. The study examines how Pakistani women benefit from their numerical superiority in Parliament, whether women are "agents of change" or "agents of change," and whether these alterations are driven by women or triggered by external factors. This study examines the challenges women face in Pakistan in overcoming political marginalization and recommends creating a more comprehensive and representative civilization.

BİNGÖL HALK BİLİMİ BİBLİYOGRAFYASI ÜZERİNE BİR DENEME
Authors: BARS Mehmet Emin
Published: June 2023

Halk bilimi çalışmaları son dönemlere kadar XIX. yüzyıl Avrupa’sının tanımına göre daha çok köy ve köylü üzerine odaklanmıştı. Bilim, teknoloji ve ulaşım alanlarındaki gelişmelerin yarattığı endüstrileşme halk tanımını kökten değiştirmiş, halk biliminin inceleme alanını genişletmiş, alana yeni bir bakış açısı getirmiştir. XX. yüzyılın ikinci yarısından sonda Alan Dundes, Dan Ben-Amos gibi araştırmacıların yaptığı yeni halk tanımlamaları ile halk ve halk bilimi yeni ve özgün bir bakış açısı kazanmıştır. Yeni tanımlamalarla köy ve kentlerde çok sayıda sosyal grubun/halkın folklorunun olduğu kabul edilmiştir. Bu tanımlamalarla daralan ve kendini tekrar eden halk bilimi çalışma alanı zenginleştirilmiştir. Bu makale Bingöl halk bilimi ile ilgili yapılan çalışmaları içeren bir bibliyografya denemesidir. Bingöl halk bilimi gibi özel bir alanı kapsaması onu daha önce yapılmış benzer çalışmalardan ayırmaktadır. Bingöl halk bilimi bibliyografyasının hazırlanmasında halk biliminin doğrudan yararlandığı kaynaklarla birlikte farklı disiplinler tarafından ele alınan, geleneksel bir halk kitlesini çeşitli şekillerde inceleyen sosyo-kültürel çalışmalara da yer verilmiştir. Sonuçta Bingöl halk bilimi ile ilgili yapılan çalışmaların dar bir uzmanlık alanı içerisine sıkıştırılarak değerlendirilmeye çalışıldığı görülmüştür. Bingöl halk bilimi çalışmalarında sözlü ve yazılı kaynakların yanında elektronik ve sanal kültür ortamlarını içeren çalışmaların da yapılması gerektiği vurgulanmıştır. Türk halk bilimi köy ve köylüye odaklanan eski geleneksel bakış açısını terk etmeli, yeni kültürel alanları yeni bakış açılarıyla ve ilgili disiplinlerle işbirli içinde incelemelidir.
Trafficking in human beings

Published: June 2023

After the declaration of independence of the Republic of Moldova, in 1991, about 800,000 thousand people, ie a third of the active population of the country, emigrated to get rid of an obscure economic situation. As a result, traffickers use this massive, legal and illegal emigration. Thus, according to official estimates, there are over 60,000 thousand victims of trafficking in human beings, with a total population of 3.6 million inhabitants. Therefore, the Republic of Moldova is among the first places in Europe in terms of the number of trafficked persons, as reported As a result, this issue is one of the most pressing and current issues. The Republic of Moldova, considered one of the poorest countries in Europe, on the borders of the European Union, remains one of the most thriving markets for sexual exploitation, forced labor and organ trafficking, according to an AFP survey. Currently, human trafficking is one of the worst problems facing the Republic of Moldova. Although it has recorded, in a record time, unimaginable and unacceptable proportions for our society, the phenomenon is practically not in the attention of local criminologists, without criminological rigorous, it being studied occasionally. No doctoral dissertations on human trafficking have been submitted so far. Although human trafficking is currently a matter of public awareness, the population still perceives the phenomenon superficially, its essence being misunderstood. This problem persists among the employees of the law enforcement bodies. Problems arise regarding the correct legal classification of acts of trafficking in human beings.

Vitamin E (Vit. E) is primarily responsible for the increased antioxidant capacity observed in animal studies. The present research aimed to investigate vitamin E’s effect on haematological and serum biochemical parameters in Kail sheep. Eighteen (18) Kail breed ewes older than two years but not yet pregnant were chosen for this experiment. The animals were randomly divided into three groups (Control, T1, and T2). During the entire experiment, the control group had access to pure water. Vitamin E was administered orally to both groups of ewes daily for 30 days, with Group T1 receiving 150 mg/kg body weight and Group T2 receiving 200 mg/kg body weight. Blood samples were collected on days 0, 15, and 30. The results revealed a significant increase in blood biochemistry parameters such as RBC, HGB, RDW %, WBC, LYM concentration, and LYM (%) in sheep fed Vitamin E. The serum concentration of albumin, globulin, total protein, and AST was significantly increased (P< 0.05). We conclude that the haematological and serum biochemical parameters in Kail sheep were enhanced after an oral dose of vitamin E.
Problem Based Learning in Engineering Course in Malaysia
Authors: Hadibarata Tony , Hidayat Topik , Kwabena James
Published: June 2023

Problem-based learning (PBL) is an effective educational approach that promotes critical thinking, collaboration, and creativity. The study aimed to review an implementation of PBL in engineering course in Malaysia. PBL has been shown to be effective in engaging students in the learning process by presenting them with complex, open-ended problems that require critical thinking and creativity to solve. Through this process, students develop their critical thinking skills, including their ability to analyze information, evaluate arguments, and make sound judgments. PBL also helps students to develop their problem-solving skills, which are essential in the real world. Despite its benefits, implementing PBL in the classroom can also have some challenges and limitations. It can be time-consuming, difficult to assess, challenging to implement in large classes, and may not be suitable for all students. Thus, careful planning and preparation are required before implementing PBL in a university setting. In an engineering course, PBL provides students with opportunities to develop their critical thinking and problem-solving skills, as well as to enhance their collaboration and communication abilities. It also allows students to see the relevance of the knowledge and skills they are learning and to take ownership of their learning. Therefore, implementing PBL in a university requires identifying appropriate learning objectives and designing a problem or scenario that aligns with those objectives. The problem or scenario should be complex and open-ended, requiring students to draw on knowledge and skills from multiple subject areas. The implementation of PBL should also involve ongoing evaluation and refinement to ensure its effectiveness.

During my first year of college, the headliner at the annual “Spring Fling” concert was LL Cool J. I knew enough of his hits—and enough of my friends were going—that I didn’t want to miss out on a weekend of fun. The only issue? I had an Intro Spanish final exam on Monday morning, and I was woefully unprepared. As you might have guessed, I didn’t hunker down and study. I enjoyed the show alongside my classmates and ended up with a barely passing grade and a poor grasp of basic Spanish. Who hasn’t experienced a similar dilemma?
Unravelling the Dynamics: The Effects of Leverage on the Financial Stability of Insurance Firms in Kenya
Authors:   Unravelling the Dynamics: The Effects of Leverage on the Financial Stability of Insurance Firms in Kenya, Ritho Bonface Mugo
Published: June 2023

Despite the crucial part that the insurance industry plays, firms operating in this sector have been having trouble maintaining their financial stability. The insurance industry has faced considerable volatility in profitability, resulting in some firms being placed under receivership or even going out of firm. The purpose of this study was to analyse the effect of leverage on financial stability of insurance firms in Kenya. The study was informed by Pecking Order Theory. The research was conducted using an explanatory research design, and the positivist philosophical approach was utilized. The target population for this study consisted of the 46 insurance firms that held IRA licenses and were operating during the time period under consideration (2014-2021). The census method was utilized for the research thesis, which focused on all 46 insurance firms in Kenya. The study used secondary data obtained from audited financial statements, which were publicly available on the websites of individual insurance firms. To gather panel data for the study, a secondary data collection template was employed. In order to draw conclusions from the data that was gathered, this study employed both descriptive and inferential statistical methods. The study employed a generalized method of moments modelling guided by static panel regression. The data processing was done using the Stata software. The research findings were presented through the use of tables, figures, and graphs. The findings of this study showed that leverage significantly and negatively impacted the financial stability of Kenyan insurance firms (β = -3.513831, p = 0.000 < .05). The study concludes that if leverage challenges are not adequately managed, they can have a detrimental influence on the profitability and capital of a particular insurance sector, and in the worst case scenarios, they can even force insurance sectors that are otherwise financially secure to fail. The study recommends that the general insurers in Kenya should enhance their leverage in order to strengthen the financial stability of their firms. However, insurance firms should be careful not to leverage themselves too much, since this can also be damaging to their long-term sustainability.

Published: June 2023

In Malaysia, the field of Qiraat studies is growing and is starting to be formally implemented in secondary schools and higher education institutions. At the secondary school level, the study of Qiraat is implemented through the Al-Quran Reading and Memorization Skills Class (KKQ). This development is a good effort, but based on the review of previous studies, the achievement for the subject of Qiraat is at a moderate level. Therefore, this study was conducted to examine the challenges of implementing the Qiraat class for the Quran reading and memorization skills class (KKQ). This study is a qualitative study using a case study approach. Data collection Information was collected through interviews with five students and periodic observations. Then the data was analyzed descriptively. The results of the study found that the implementation of the Qiraat KKQ class needs to be continued so that the achievement of the Qiraat subject can be improved. Based on the achievements of students in the subject of Qiraat, it shows that students cannot master the subject of Qiraat due to several factors, namely lack of interest in the subject of Qiraat, limited learning time and lack of teaching aids. Therefore, all parties including the school, teachers and parents need to unite so that the implementation of the Qiraat class runs smoothly and can help students master the subject of Qiraat with excellence.
A critique on the use of standard psychopathological classifications in understanding human distress: The example of ‘schizoid personality disorder’
Authors: Parpottas Panagiotis
Published: June 2023

Content and Focus

There is an ongoing debate about how practitioners understand ‘mental disorders’ in terms of assessment, formulation and treatment. The current diagnostic procedures are defined by rule-based classifications that largely rely on symptom clusters, such as the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of mental disorders (DSM) and the International Classification of Diseases (ICD), and are influenced by the medical model which supports the concept of nosology. Under this notion, psychological difficulties are seen as pathological and, therefore, questions are raised about what is ‘normal’ and ‘abnormal’. The aim of this paper is to make a critique on the use of standard psychopathological classifications in understanding human distress and the example of so-called schizoid personality disorder will be discussed in non-conventional psychiatric terms. Additionally, a formulation-driven approach which derives from the basic tenets of attachment theory will be utilised to understand schizoid personality disorder. Considerations for counselling psychology practice are also discussed in light of an integrative therapeutic framework, which brings together concepts from Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and psychodynamic therapy.

Conclusions

The current psychopathological classifications provide a descriptive guidance on labelling symptoms but the limited attention paid on the aetiology of disorders raises important questions. A need for revision of what constitutes a psychiatric ‘illness’ is apparent and furthermore the inclusion of a formulationdriven approach in the psychopathological manuals can be invaluable as it can offer a heuristic focus in understanding human psychological distress.

The counselling psychologist researcher
Authors: Kasket Elaine
Published: June 2023

Content and Focus

Many doctoral trainees struggle with what it is to be a counselling psychologist researcher. This paper, based upon observations compiled over six years of training, supervision, and examination of counselling psychology doctoral candidates, identifies four common phenomena. First, many aspirant and actual trainees do not realise what ‘professional doctorate’ really means in practice. Second, researchers often do not consider how the values of counselling psychology may translate into a research context. Third, trainee counselling psychologist researchers repeatedly make the same mistakes, to the detriment of doctoral success. Fourth, trainees frequently neglect to disseminate their research. To address these issues, this paper defines professional doctorates and distinguishes them from the traditional PhD; describes the author’s view of how counselling psychology values may be put into action in the research context; identifies and suggests remedies for the ‘seven deadly sins’ of counselling psychology doctoral research; and highlights the importance of and various routes for dissemination.
Comparison of Synthetic Dura and Autologous Dura in Terms of Complication Development in Children Aged 0-1 Years Who Underwent Surgery for Meningocele and Myelomeningocele
Authors: İZCİ Emir , KESKİN Fatih , ARAÇ Densel
Published: June 2023

Abstract:
Aim: The aim of this study is to compare the usage of synthetic and autologous dura mater in terms of complication risk in 0-1-year-old children who were operated for meningocele and myelomeningocele.
Material and Methods: This cross-sectional observational study was conducted with 44 children aged 0-1 years who were operated for meningocele and myelomeningocele in a university hospital neurosurgery clinic between November 2010 and December 2016. Patient data were extracted retrospectively from hospital records. The demographics and gestational and clinical features of the mothers and babies, and the need for secondary surgery and the presence of postoperative infection, necrosis, wound dehiscence, and/or neurological deficit were compared between the cases who synthetic dura mater was used in their surgery and those autologous dura was used in their surgery.
Results: In total, 86.4% of the 44 infants were preterm, and the predominant neurological problem was plegia in the vast majority. While the defect was located in the lumbar region in more than half of them, myelomeningocele was detected in 77.3% of all cases. The median defect size detected in the patients was 20.0 cm2, primary closure was performed in 30 patients, Limberg flap procedure in 14 patients, however, autologous dura mater and synthetic dura mater were used equally in the patients. The defect size was larger in patients using synthetic dura, furthermore hydrocephalus was found more frequently in these patients. While primary closure was applied in all patients using autologous dura and in one third of the patients using synthetic dura, Limberg flap procedure was applied in two thirds of synthetic dura group. The need for secondary surgery developed more frequently in synthetic dura group, and all postoperative complications were observed more frequently in these patients. In addition, the need for secondary surgery and postoperative necrosis, wound dehiscence, and neurologic deficit are more frequent in patients who underwent Limber flap compared to primary closure. However, the need for secondary surgery and the risk of postoperative complications were similar between primary closure and Limberg flap procedures in synthetic dura group.
Conclusion: Although the synthetic dura mater was used in more severe patients, it had a higher need for secondary surgery and a higher risk of complications compared to autologous dura. In patients using synthetic dura, on the other hand, primary closure and Limberg flap had similar efficacy and safety.

I Percorsi di alfabetizzazione e apprendimento della lingua italiana sono il principale strumento per la formazione linguistica delle e degli adulti stranieri frequentanti i CPIA. Attraverso l’analisi di testi prodotti da corsisti frequentanti questi corsi, il presente contributo offre uno sguardo privilegiato su questa realtà didattica. Malgrado non sia mancata l’attenzione per gli aspetti linguistici, l’analisi qui proposta si concentra sul contesto didattico e i diversificati bisogni di chi frequenta questi corsi. Lo studio dei testi, inoltre, permette di mettere a fuoco la specifica formazione richiesta al corpo docente e di osservare come i limiti della normativa hanno ricadute nella didattica.

 

Some reflections on a corpus of texts produced in the literacy and italian language learning paths of the CPIA

This paper is about the Italian language courses for foreigners (Percorsi di alfabetizzazione e apprendimento della lingua italiana or Percorsi AALI) offered by the Provincial Centre for Adult Education, commonly called CPIA (Centro Provinciale per l’Istruzione degli Adulti). Thanks to a corpus of texts produced in these courses, this paper focuses on the most important Percorsi AALI’s educational and didactic issues. Through the analysis of this corpus, it has been possible to identify some critical aspects and to understand their causes. On the one hand some texts document how these courses are attended by a heterogeneous group of learners in which different literacy profiles can be identified. On the other hand, the study has underlined the importance of teachers' training and attitudes about teaching students from immigrant backgrounds.

India is a nation with a plethora of cultural landmarks, including notable architectural masterpieces, 37 of which are UNESCO World Heritage master pieces. We must protect cultural heritages because they bind successive generations together over time. Architectural Designers, researchers, and travellers, etc. visit numerous historical locations, where it is frequently challenging for them to recognise and learn more about the historical significance of the monument in which they are interested. Due to the size and dependability of the information, the work of archiving, recording, and sharing the knowledge of these cultural assets is difficult. Modern machine learning and deep learning algorithms, as well as high processing computational resources, offer practical answers. The classification ofMonument satellite images or photographs can be atomized by utilising the Convoluted Neural Network techniques. During our project implementation, monuments images dataset was created with the help of google earth images. We have applied various pre-processing techniques and from pre-processed images we extracted features using feature extraction techniques such as Local Binary Patterns(LBP), Mean Standard Deviation(MSD). A model was developed using deep learning algorithms such as the Convoluted neural network(CNN). The results of our project are discussed in this paper. Initially we upload the monument satellite image, then the system recognizes the monument first then predicts whether the monument is heritage or not and gives the accuracy value as well as displays the monument image along with information of the monument.
The Politics of Changing the Dutch Agri-Food System

Tensions between farmers, government and society have recently been running high in the Netherlands. Dutch farmers are furious with the national government because of the ever-stricter nitrogen policy that is supposed to save nature in the Netherlands, in line with European directives. The current plan states that nitrogen emissions need to be reduced by 50% in 2030. The disagreement over how to tackle the nitrogen issue in the Netherlands is a deeply rooted conflict that goes back decades. In this political commentary, we analyse the conflict and argue that the solutions proposed in the public and political debate tend to ignore the systemic nature of the problem. We suggest that it is important to work towards innovation in the rules and arrangements that govern agricultural value chains to create a more conducive and enabling environment for the regional initiatives that have emerged in response to the current crisis, several of which challenge the currently dominant food system.

Supply Chain Management (SCM) plays a critical role in the success of any business organization. Individuals involved in business activities often have to make decisions regarding different aspects of the supply chain, including planning, procurement, production, inventory management, transportation, distribution, and customer relationship management. The combination of neutrosophic logic and machine learning has gained significant attention in the field of SCM as a means to tackle uncertainties and improve decision-making. This paper highlights the potential benefits and applications of integrating neutrosophic reasoning and machine learning in SCM. Neutrosophic reasoning provides a framework for handling imprecise and uncertain information, while machine learning techniques offer powerful tools for data analysis, pattern recognition, and predictive modeling. By leveraging machine learning algorithms within the context of neutrosophic logic, SCM practitioners can enhance demand forecasting accuracy, optimize inventory management, improve transportation and routing decisions, and strengthen supply chain collaboration. The integration of neutrosophic logic and machine learning enables the handling of complex supply chain data, accommodates dynamic and uncertain environments, and supports proactive decision-making. Furthermore, the combination of these approaches can contribute to improved supply chain resilience, sustainability, and customer satisfaction. This paper applied the neutrosophic AHP method as a feature section to select the highest importance criteria as an input to machine learning. Then we applied two machine learning models named random forest and decision. The results show the random forest has the highest accuracy followed by a decision tree.
