Published: September 2023

Investing in mutual funds and diversifying the investment portfolio are two critical strategies for achieving long-term financial success. Mutual funds pool money from multiple investors to invest in a diversified portfolio of stocks, bonds, or other assets. This diversification helps reduce the impact of individual stock or bond price fluctuations, thus mitigating market risk. Mutual funds are managed by experienced fund managers who conduct extensive research and analysis. These professionals make informed investment decisions, saving investors from the need to constantly monitor the market and individual securities. Diversification allows investors to balance risk and return according to their risk tolerance. By spreading investments across different asset classes and risk levels, individuals can achieve their desired risk-return profile. By harnessing the expertise of professional fund managers and diversifying across various assets, investors can navigate market fluctuations with confidence while working toward a more secure financial future. It also contributes to the field of finance by offering a comprehensive analysis of the performance of balanced mutual fund schemes, employing a range of evaluation tools, and emphasizing the critical interplay between risk and return in the investment landscape.

Wael Hallaq’ın İmkânsız Devlet’i Üzerine
Authors: Bülbül Kudret
Published: September 2023

Wael Hallaq’ın İmkânsız Devlet çalışması, Türkiye de akademik çevrelerde geniş bir yankı uyandırdı. Eserin Türkçe çevirisindeki “Modern Çağda İslam Devleti Niçin Mümkün Değildir” alt başlığı, eserin orijinal alt başlığı ile uyumlu olmasa da kitabın içeriği ile uyumludur. Çünkü Hallaq bütün çalışması boyunca bunun neden mümkün olmadığı üzerine argümanlar geliştirmektedir.

Öncelikle Wael Hallaq’a modern devlet paradigmasının “İslami yönetim biçimi” (İslami düşünüş ve yaşayış demek daha doğru) ile uyumlu olmayan boyutlarını detaylı bir biçimde ortaya koyması açısından teşekkür etmek gerekir. Pek çok ülkede uygulanan pratiğin, pek çok Müslüman düşünürün zihninde olan “İslam devleti” düşüncesinin, modern ve ulus-devlet olgusunun farklı versiyonları olduğunu gözlemlemek maalesef zor değildir. Modern devletin konumlanma, meşruiyet, vatandaşlık, ulusal çıkar gibi üretim ve ilişki biçimleri kuşkusuz İslami düşünce biçiminden farklıdır.

Bununla birlikte Hallaq’ın kitabında uzunca üzerinde durduğu modern devlet eleştirisi fazla bilinmedik ve yeni bir şey değildir. Modern devlet de üzerine oturduğu postula Batı’da da, Doğu’da da pek çok düşünür tarafından uzun zamandır eleştirilmektedir. Ben de bu bağlamda siyaset bilimi sözlüğümde örneğin Aydınlanma kavramını kapsamlı bir biçimde eleştirmiştim (Bülbül, 2020: 81).

Diğer taraftan Hallaq, çalışmasında modern devletten daha çok ulus devlet eleştirisi yapmaktadır. Çoğu kez örtüşse de modern devlet ile ulus-devleti ve bunlara yönelik eleştirileri birbirinden ayırmak gerekir. Modern devlet her durumda ulus-devlet olmak durumunda değildir. Kıta Avrupa’sında daha çok ulus-devlet formu gelişmişken, Anglo Sakson dünyasındaki devletleri modern devlet olarak tanımlamakla birlikte ulus-devlet olarak tanımlamak zordur. Diğer taraftan küreselleşme süreçleri ile ulus-devlet biçimi belirli oranda aşılırken, bunu modern devlet formu için söyleyebilmek henüz zordur.

The ability to read during the early years of education plays a crucial role in students’ academic life. However, Cycle One Omani students continue to face significant challenges in reading fluently and comprehending texts. Many students struggle to read the assigned texts within a reasonable time, which negatively affects their ability to answer comprehension questions. This research paper focuses on grade three and four teachers’ opinion in North Al-Batinah Governorate regarding the repeated reading method, which they have been implementing in their classrooms for over six years. A designed and validated online questionnaire, to which 121 teachers responded was used to collect data. The study revealed that the majority of the participants strongly agreed on the effectiveness of the RR method in enhancing grade three and four students’ English language learning skills, particularly their reading fluency and overall English proficiency. Moreover, the data showed that RR is an effective, new and useful method, which made the teaching environment more interesting and broke the usual routine of teaching the reading skill. In addition, the results indicated that most grade three and four students enjoyed the RR experience and were motivated and eager when applying the RR method. Therefore, this study is one of the few in Oman to have investigated primary students’ reading skill, so it makes a distinguished contribution to the Omani context with regard to investigating young learners’ reading skills and strategies.

Published: September 2023

The widespread adoption of TikTok globally has positively impacted its application in education, particularly in language teaching and learning. English, being widely spoken as a lingua franca, is extensively used for content dissemination through TikTok worldwide. However, a preliminary search on the internet revealed a need for more research syntheses on the use of this platform in the English as an Additional Language (EAL) classroom. This scarcity prompted the research discussed in this article. The study took the form of a literature review and followed the principles of Systematic Literature Review, aiming to explore how TikTok has been used in the EAL classroom and what learning benefits it offers. An adapted version of the research protocol model developed by Sarah Visintini was employed for searching, selecting, and extracting written productions from web-based databases to compose the research sample. Eight peer-reviewed articles constituted the final sample based on retention and discard criteria. The retained texts were analyzed using the thematic analysis method proposed by Virginia Braun and Victoria Clarke. The findings indicate that TikTok can effectively enhance speaking skills and expand the vocabulary repertoire of EAL students. Moreover, its usage can aid in maintaining student focus on classroom activities. Further comprehensive searches in online databases, using diverse mechanisms, can yield substantial corpora, facilitating broader and more in-depth analyses and discussions on the pedagogical applications and benefits of TikTok in the EAL classroom.

Policies for increasing school completion rates for the poor
Authors: Nakamura Yui
Published: September 2023

Human capital accumulated through education is a key factor in increasing individual income. Therefore, policies that aid in increasing school enrollment and completion rates among the poor are essential for poverty alleviation. Despite the fact that primary school enrollment rates in developing countries have increased, there remains a significant gap in school completion rates. This study focuses on the decisions individuals make regarding completing their education to obtain future job-related skills. We clarify factors that increase school enrollment and completion rates and indicate the effectiveness and priority of policies to increase the rates through a simple model. Our findings suggest that school policies have limited impact on increasing school enrollment and completion rates, particularly among the poor, who tend to have a high discount rate for the future and focus on the current situation. Therefore, policies that aim to reduce their discount rate should be prioritized. Moreover, we found that extending learning hours at school has a negative impact on the school completion rates of students from poor families. Therefore, policies aimed at improving individual learning environments are effective in increasing rates, especially for the poor. These findings have important implications for policymakers and education practitioners seeking to improve education outcomes and alleviate poverty, especially in developing countries.
Gender wage differential in the labour market of Bhutan (2009-2022)
Authors: Yuden Phuentsho
Published: September 2023

This study investigated striking gender wage differentials trend in Bhutan between 2009 and 2022. In order to decompose the gender wage differentials, we used household level micro-data of Labor Force Survey (LFS), which was conducted by then Ministry of Labor and Human Resources (MoLHR) and National Statistics Bureau (NSB). The methodology estimates the sources of gender wage differentials by segregating gender-specific factors and general wage structure factors. The explanatory variables like women’s labor market skills (education, work experience) and women’s choice into certain occupational and industrial groups; and treatment towards women employees by employers (i.e., discrimination) are categorized into gender-specific factors. Whereas, the sum of observed prices of labor market skills (education and work experience) and price of women’s segregation into certain occupational and industrial groups and unobserved prices were termed wage structure factors. The result shows that gap in education and women’s choice into low paying jobs increased gender wage differentials. However, increase in women’s work experience narrowed the gender wage differential. Therefore, the widening gender wage differentials resulted from gender-specific factors by huge margin. The findings from this study will help decision and policy makers in developing policies which helps narrowing education and skills gaps between men and women.  In addition, it will also help in drafting policies which helps women in getting better paying jobs.

Published: September 2023

The purpose of data analytics is to uncover previously unknown patterns and make use of such patterns to help in making educated decisions across a wide range of contexts. Because of advances in modern technology and the fact that credit cards have become an easy target for fraudulent activity, the incidence of credit card fraud has considerably increased in recent years. Credit card fraud is a significant issue in the industry of financial services, and it results in annual losses of billions of dollars. The development of a fraud detection algorithm is a difficult endeavor due to the paucity of real-world transaction datasets that are available due to confidentiality concerns and the very unbalanced nature of the datasets that are publicly available. Use a dataset from the real world in conjunction with a variety of supervised machine learning algorithms to identify potentially fraudulent credit card transactions. In addition, make use of these techniques to create a super classifier through the use of ensemble learning methods. Determine which variables are the most significant and could perhaps lead to a higher level of accuracy in the identification of fraudulent credit card transactions. In addition, we evaluate and discuss the performance of a number of other supervised machine learning algorithms that are currently available in the literature in contrast to the super classifier that can be implemented.

The field of machine learning has received insufficient attention. Because of their superior Artificial Intelligence, machines that are capable of deep learning have the potential to push the boundaries of what is possible in digital marketing. This study intends to uncover the outcomes from the study of Indian customers' responses across a variety of demographics to machines and their capacities to sell, which may very well be the future of digital marketing. We have found that software developers need to construct the architecture in conjunction with digital marketers. These digital marketers utilize machines with deep learning to take into consideration the attitudes of customers as well as their behaviors and choices. As a result, in the not-too-distant future, marketers will have convenient access to correct information regarding clients, which will unlock enormous benefits for the companies. A causal model that makes use of regression models is used to explain how the performance of the machines is likely to change depending on the circumstances. SPSS version 24 and R software were used for the analysis of the data. Data regarding the customer's behaviors, their choices, and emotions are collected, and fuzzy-set qualitative comparative analysis (fsQCA) approach is used to determine how they can be influenced to use the services of the machine.

Cloud computing is a technology that is both efficient and cost-effective, thanks to its low maintenance requirements. This paper implemented a approach is used to share group resources across cloud users. Regrettably, as a result of the frequent differences in participation, the issue of sharing information in a multi-owner manner while also preserving privacy and information from a trusted cloud continues to be a challenging one. During the course we put into place a safe method of data sharing among multiple owners using the Diffe- Hellman algorithm that are cloud-based and applicable to rotating groups. By leveraging techniques like as group signature and dynamic broadcast encryption, any user of the cloud has the ability to anonymously share data with other users. In the meanwhile, the number of users whose access has been revoked does not have any impact on the storage overhead or encryption computation costs associated with our system. In addition, employ rigorous proofs to investigate the scheme's level of safety, and conduct tests to verify the scheme's usefulness.

The internet payment system, which is a widespread cybercrime, is a major issue nowadays. Attackers concentrate on point of sale (POS) systems, the point at which a bank or merchant initially obtains customer information, with the goal of stealing confidential customer information. Effective computer systems with a card reader and specialised software are POS architectures. In this situation, the attacker might utilise malicious software (MS) to steal card statistics. If the customer and the supplier are consistently cut off from the network in, no online payment is practical. If the community fails, attacker's side will attempt to steal the password from the users throughout the price, therefore a safe online transaction price may not be achievable. Due to the PoS information breaches, we recommend an offline micro-fee solution that is secure and protects privacy for the persistent attackers in our paper. We use the FRoDO protocol to make the payment simple and secure from attackers. This protocol not only checks the client's coins but also confirms the client's identity by using identification details. This protocol increases flexibility and security and boosts the device's efficiency by infusing a comfortable micro-charge between the client and carrier.

The primary objective of this research was to investigate the reading habits of students and their impact on their academic achievements. The study was conducted within the confines of District Dera Ghazi Khan, specifically focusing on high and higher secondary schools. Employing a qualitative approach, data was collected and analyzed. The results were derived from interviews conducted with six students, serving as a basis for the findings. The research revealed that the majority of the participants recognized the significance of reading, engaging in both scientific literature and fictional works such as stories and novels. Notably, only one student admitted to reading solely with the intention of passing examinations. These outcomes firmly establish the substantial influence of reading habits on academic performance, illustrating a clear correlation between the two. In light of these findings, it is recommended that teachers encourage students to utilize the library for reading purposes and assign additional reading material to foster a stronger reading habit among students.
Blockchain and Micro-credentials in Education
Authors: McGreal Rory
Published: September 2023

Micro-credentials can provide easily accessible and transparent evidence of skills or knowledge that have been certified by an authority, based on small units of learning. The recognition and transfer of credits is becoming essential, as an increasing number of students are studying at different institutions, often at the same time, online or in traditional settings. "Blockchain is a type of database that stores data in an "open, peer-to-peer (P2P) network that favors communal functionality in lieu of a centralized controlling entity" (Columbia Engineering Bootcamps, 2021, para 5). The development of blockchain (https://theconversation.com/demystifying-the-blockchain-a-basic-user-guide-60226) holds promise of becoming a useful facilitator for supporting the storage and dissemination of micro-credentials on a global scale. Besides providing effective data security and privacy, blockchain can also facilitate maintaining and disseminating credentials, while ensuring that access is readily available for students under their control. Because of its immutability, blockchain can be used to confidently attest to students' accomplishments and is therefore particularly appropriate for micro-credentials.
