Regional Security Network in South Asia: A Prescriptive Approach to Addressing Diverse Security Threats
Authors: Khan Aamir , Hussain Raziq
Published: June 2023

The precarious nature of the evolving global security order and the emergence of associated new buzzwords both in academia and policy circles clearly suggest that the international security environment has changed substantially. Regional and global security hazards have further diluted security situation around the world. States have taken a number of measures to cope with security challenges and strategic uncertainties, with largely unsatisfactory outcomes. In our view, a better alternative to traditional way of ensuring security is to develop regional security networks (RSN) among nations of a specific geographic region. RSN is based on the idea that there are various security challenges that cannot effectively be met without regional collaboration and coordination. The idea of RSN calls for, among other things, creating a collaborative platform for information sharing, joint training, and coordinated response mechanisms to address security threats in South Asia. Prescriptive in character, this article provides a strategic roadmap for policymakers to strengthen regional security cooperation and foster stability and peace in South Asia by establishing a robust RSN.

Published: June 2023

Tractors have played a crucial role in India’s agricultural mechanisation. The involvement of women workers has increased in various agricultural operations. They are also becoming controllers of various farm machines and are expected to operate various self-propelled farm machines, especially tractors. The operators’ workplace on tractors used on farms need to be ergonomically compatible with the abilities of men and women workers. The present study was intended to develop the hand- and leg-reach envelopes to optimise the location of tractor controls based on anthropometric data of male and female Indian agricultural workers. Based on optimum hand-reach envelopes, gender-neutral tractor workplace accommodating 90% of operators of both genders suggested that the hand controls should not be closer than 317 mm and farther than 430 mm in the horizontal direction from seat index point (SIP). These controls should be placed between 186 mm and 380 mm in the vertical direction above the SIP. In the lateral direction, the controls should be placed within 424 mm on either side of the SIP. Based on leg reach envelopes, the foot pedals should not be located nearer than 410 mm and farther than 452 mm in the horizontal direction from the SIP. These controls also should not be placed nearer than 261 mm and farther than 373 mm downward from the SIP. In the lateral direction, the controls should not be placed nearer than 131 mm and farther than 283 mm on either side of the SIP.

Authors: Nurherliyany Metty , Solihah Rosidah , Purwati Ayu Endang , Sandriani Sandriani , Mira Neng
Published: June 2023

Introduction: Nausea and vomiting are experienced by pregnant women during early pregnancy and are often caused by hormonal changes due to an increase in the hormones estrogen, progesterone, and the release of human chorionic acid. Most pregnant women 70- 80% experience morning sickness and as many as 1-2% of all pregnant women experience it morning sickness which extreme. Ginger's pharmacological function is antiemetic, acting as an anti-vomiting agent. Objective: The purpose of this research is to review the literature, articles, and results documents of research on current activity interventions related to the effectiveness of giving herbal plants to reduce nausea and vomiting in pregnant women. Method: The method used in writing this article is a review of the results of a study that related to complementary therapies to reduce nausea and vomiting during pregnancy. The type of data used is secondary data. Sources of data in this literature review study were obtained by tracing scientific research articles from 2017 to 2022 using a data base such as Google Scholar, MyJM, and Science Direct, which included as many as five articles. Result: Initial treatment for nausea and vomiting should be conservative and accompanied by changes in diet, emotional support, and alternative therapies such as herbs. Ginger therapy can provide a more significant reduction in nausea and vomiting compared to leaf therapy, mint therapy, and kaffir lime therapy. In addition, ginger therapy, done together with hands-on massage or with vitamin B6 therapy, has a significant effect on overcoming nausea and vomiting during pregnancy. Conclusion: There is a significant effect of giving ginger therapy to reduce nausea and vomiting in the first trimester of pregnancy. Ginger therapy and the administration of vitamin B6 or hand massage can be an alternative therapy to help overcome nausea and vomiting in pregnant women.

Superupervised Enumerable Learning for Sentiment Analysis of Social Media Tweets
Authors: Bano Zeenat , Pandey Yogadhar , Verma Bhupendra
Published: June 2023

People express their views on goods, services, governments, and events via words and phrases on social media. Sentiment analysis is a technique used in natural language processing to gather positive and negative feedback on a piece of writing on social media. Academics have been forced to research sentiment analysis by exponential growth in business and e-commerce companies. This study examined emotions in two distinct domains: one for electronics product evaluations and another for film reviews. Due to the enormous volume of data gathered for analysis, it is referred to as massive data. This vast data is multidimensional and includes useless information. Furthermore, this data complicates the analysis since it reduces the effectiveness of machine learning categorization algorithms. As a consequence, the data must be cleansed and pertinent features identified. Numerous methods have been used to eliminate noise from data and identify essential components. There are two methods for determining suitable features: feature selection and feature extraction. The research is split into three stages: the first step involves converting unstructured data to structured data and choosing relevant and feature information. Second, machine learning classification algorithms are employed in conjunction with feature selection approaches, and third, machine learning algorithms are used in conjunction with ensemble learning methods
An Appraisal of Schoolmasters’ Status in Pre-Modern Muslim Societies
Authors: Ayyad Essam
Published: June 2023

Medieval Muslim sources convey two extremely opposing pictures of schoolmasters. Alongside the official, aspirational image of the virtuous providers of knowledge, another subversive stream of literature lampoons them as despicable charlatans (although the main subject they taught was the Qur’ān). This provocative enigma raises many questions and calls for in-depth investigation to clarify its reasons, implications, manifestations, and repercussions. The present article sets out to spell out the dichotomy noted in the sources vis-à-vis the stature of schoolmasters in pre-modern Muslim societies. In particular, it tries to identify the source of this paradox and contextualize the conundrum of a transmitter of sacred knowledge (i.e., the Qur’ān) being ridiculed in a presumably religion-centred community. It also analyses the reasons behind the satires against schoolmasters by notable Muslim informants in medieval times. While so doing, the article tries to give answers and identify nuances concerning a number of related and more inclusive questions.
The Dynamics of Makondoro’s Arabic-Islamic Pedagogy in Western Nigeria
Authors: Alagunfon Sulaiman Adewale
Published: June 2023

Zumrat al-Mu’minīn (the Believers’ Group), also known as Makondoro, is a group of conservative Arabic-Islamic scholars in Yorubaland, a region in Western Nigeria. When studying, teaching, and professing their Arabic and Islamic knowledge, they utilize a pedagogical method of discipleship that links students with their teachers and shapes their learning. They have devised strategies to retain this method, such as creating epistemological networks that have earned them authority in Yorubaland since the middle of the twentieth century. Although modernization has held sway in Arabic-Islamic education of the region post-independence, the Makondoro maintain and preserve their ways. Drawing on ethnographic research, participant observation, and personal interactions with scholars and students of the Makondoro, this article seeks to understand their pedagogical dynamics in the last fifty years when they came into prominence in major cities of Western Nigeria.
Changing Dynamics of Arab Rule in Multan from the Eighth to Eleventh Centuries CE
Authors: Shaheen Mehnaz , Ahmed Fouzia Farooq
Published: June 2023

This article studies the political, social, and economic patterns of Multan under Arab rule based on both primary and secondary sources. The mercantile cosmopolis Multan remained at the periphery of the central Muslim empires and had a heterogenous population with orthodox and heterodox tendencies. The rulers of these regions realized that their political power dynamics could not be like those of the centre because of their mercantile and pilgrim economy. Under the Banū Sāmah, the emirs of Multan followed a metadoxy, pietistic, and mercantile cosmopolitanism policy, as the state measures for the imposition of orthodoxy and the control of the belief system were lax. Nevertheless, the Fatimids destroyed the Aditya Sun Temple, though they signed a truce with Hindu kingdoms of surrounding areas against Maḥmūd of Ghazni without foreseeing its consequences. Multan’s political and religious dynamics in the medieval era were intricately intertwined with the political, moral, and financial economy as the economic, political, and multicultural religious dynamics were in deep nexus.
The effect of inflation on income inequality: Evidence from a non-linear dynamic panel data analysis in indonesia
Authors: Uspri Betty , Karimi Syafruddin , Indrawari Indrawari , Ridwan Endrizal
Published: June 2023

This research investigates the impact of inflation on income inequality in Indonesia. This study is part of a comprehensive examination investigating which monetary policy can be utilized to lessen inequality. As a central bank objective, inflation can influence the distribution of income, wealth, and endogenous consumption, hence defining inequality. This study employed dynamic panel data analysis for linear autoregressive data using the generalized method of moments (GMM) for both first differences GMM (FD-GMM or AB-GMM) and system GMM (Sys-GMM or BB-GMM) with regional data from 58 cities in 2010-2020. The Arellano-Bond estimator reveals a positive and statistically significant association between inflation and inequality. When inflation rises, the purchasing power of the poor will decline, while the wealthiest will benefit as their non-cash assets proliferate. This study finds, indirectly, that Indonesia’s monetary policy can play a crucial role in lowering income distribution gaps. As one of the nations with an inflation-targeting framework, the Indonesian Central Bank can target the inflation rate by considering inequality. The ITF becomes the most effective monetary policy for stabilizing prices and promoting economic stability. The ITF reduces income inequality by reducing inflation rates. The study also finds that, similar to other emerging nations, economic growth in Indonesia exacerbates inequality. Poverty can be reduced by increased economic growth, but the positive impact of development on the wealthy is significantly more significant than on the poor. Therefore, economic expansion increases inequality.
A novel multi-criteria group decision-making approach using aggregation operators and weight determination method for supplier selection problem in hesitant Pythagorean fuzzy environment
Authors: Bisht Garima , Pal A.K.
Published: June 2023

Uncertainty is an important factor in the decision-making process. Hesitant Pythagorean fuzzy sets (HPFS), a combination of Pythagorean and hesitant fuzzy sets, proved as a significant tool to handle uncertainty. Well-defined operational laws and attribute weights play an important role in decision-making. Thus, the paper aims to develop new Trigonometric Operational Laws, a weight determination method, and a novel score function for group decision-making (GDM) problems in the HPF environment. The approach is presented in three phases. The first phase defines new operational laws with sine trigonometric function incorporating its special properties like periodicity, symmetricity, and restricted range hence compared with previously defined aggregation operators they are more likely to satisfy the decision maker preferences. Properties of trigonometric operational laws (TOL) are studied and various aggregation operators are defined. To measure the relationship between arguments, the operators are combined with the Generalized Heronian Mean operator. The flexibility of operators is increased by the use of a real parameter λ to express the risk preference of experts. The second phase defines a novel weight determination method, which separately considers the membership and non-membership degrees hence reducing the information loss and the third phase conquers the shortcomings of previously defined score functions by defining a novel score function in HPFS. To further increase the flexibility of defined operators they are extended in the environment with unknown or incomplete attribute weights. The effectiveness of the GDM model is verified with the help of a supplier selection problem. A detailed comparative analysis demonstrates the superiority, and sensitivity analysis verifies the stability of the proposed approach.

Data analysis was performed using a descriptive method, assisted by a statistical tool Structural Equation Modeling (SEM)-Lisrel. The data was tabulated from distributed and returned questionnaires from 325 deputy offices, branch offices, and service offices. The results showed that business strategy, leadership style, and the effectiveness of IC influenced the implementation of Good Government Governance. The result also provides evidence that leadership style had a positive significant influence on performance. Conversely, the business strategy and effectiveness of IC did not have a positive significant influence on BPJS performance.
Fuzzy support vector machine for classification of time series data: A simulation study
Authors: Sain Hartayuni , Kuswanto Heri , Purnami Santi Wulan , Rahayu Santi Puteri
Published: June 2023

Support vector machine (SVM) has become one of most developed methods for classification, focusing on cross-sectional analysis. However, classification of time series data is an important issue in statistics and data mining. Classification of time series data using SVMs that focus on cross-sectional data leads to improper classification, and hence, the SVM needs to be extended for handling time series dataset. As with cross-section data, the problem of imbalanced data is also common in time series data. Fuzzy method has been proven to be capable of overcoming the case of imbalanced data. In this paper, we developed a Fuzzy Support Vector Machine (FSVM) model to classify time series data with imbalanced class. The proposed method puts the fuzzy membership function on the constraint function. Through simulation studies, this research aims to assess the performance of the developed FSVM in classifying time series data. Based on the classification accuracy criteria, we prove that the proposed FSVM method outperforms the standard SVM method for the classification of multiclass time series data.

To accomplish these objectives, a research methodology comprising descriptive analysis and multiple linear regression analysis was employed, with a sample size consisting of 85 respondents. The outcomes derived from the multiple linear regression analysis revealed several noteworthy findings. Firstly, it was observed that Leadership Agility exerted a positive and significant influence on Organizational Agility. This suggests that leaders who possess agile qualities, such as adaptability, flexibility, and effective decision-making, contribute significantly to enhancing the overall agility of the organization. Secondly, the study found that Organizational Culture also played a crucial role in shaping Organizational Agility. A positive and significant relationship was identified, indicating that a strong and supportive culture that values innovation, collaboration, and learning fosters organizational agility. Lastly, the analysis demonstrated that Motivation exhibited a positive and significant impact on Organizational Agility. Motivated employees who are driven by intrinsic and extrinsic factors, such as recognition, rewards, and a sense of purpose, contribute to a more agile organization. Overall, this research underscores the importance of Leadership Agility, Organizational Culture, and Motivation in driving and sustaining Organizational Agility. The findings emphasize the significance of cultivating agile leaders, fostering a supportive culture, and nurturing employee motivation to enhance an organization's ability to adapt, innovate, and thrive in a dynamic business environment.

Authors: Israr Juveriya , Singh Indrajeet , Mishra Hara  Prasad , Mishra Smruti Sikta , Alam Shabroz , Krishna Ram , Ahmad Khursheed , Mehra Harsh , Goutam
Published: June 2023

Cymbopogon citratus, sometimes known as lemongrass, belongs to the Poaceae family. It is a medicinal plant that contains chemicals that can inhibit the growth of pathogens and boost the body's natural defenses against infectious disorders. Lemongrass is frequently used in baked goods, confections, herbal teas, and other non-alcoholic beverages. Lemongrass essential oil is frequently used as a scent in perfumes and beauty products like creams and soaps. The creation of beta carotene, and other nutrients is derived from citral, which is present in high concentrations in lemongrass essential oil. Lemon grass oil is therefore used in several pharmaceutical businesses for its anti-depressant, analgesic, antipyretic, bactericidal, and antiseptic properties due to the presence of diverse chemical elements.

Diversity of identity, bilingualism and pluriculturalism in western and eastern cultures
Authors: Dodu-Savca Carolina , Ernu Elena
Published: June 2023

In a culturally diverse and globalized society, where half of the world’s population is estimated to be bilingual, the concept of cultural identity appears to be constantly influenced in ways it has never been before. The number of people suffering from a crisis of cultural identity is rapidly increasing. This can be explained by the fact that as members of two or more cultures, many do their hardest to integrate into the dominant culture, even if it means sacrificing the values of the culture in which their parents were raised, only to have a sense of belonging in the dominant culture’s society. In this article we try to identify the specific features of bilingualism and pluriculturalism in social and family context in Western and Eastern cultures. Using France in the West and South Korea in the East as examples, we examined from various perspectives how immigrants who are fluent in the dominant culture’s language, have adopted its values into their lifestyle, yet even after spending in this country the most of their lives they feel alienated and discriminated. Based on documentary, analytical, historical, descriptive, and juxtaposed comparative methods of research we reached to the conclusion that while we advocate for equality regardless of ethnicity, gender, colour, or religion, equality remains an ideal that we have failed to achieve because we are still reluctant to fully accept cultural diversity of Identity.
On the importance of the cultural component in foreign language learning
Authors: Hirbu Stella
Published: June 2023

In the process of learning a foreign language, gradually mastering its lexical and grammatical categories, individuals are faced with the fact that the language barrier is not the only obstacle to successful communication. Behind every word, behind every language structure there is a national consciousness-driven view of the world. The problems, which arise in situations of intercultural communication, are seen as the result of differences in behaviour and thinking between people from different cultures, which often leads to ineffective communication. The aim of this paper is to demonstrate and argue for the importance of the cultural component in the process of learning a foreign language on the example of figurative linguistic units as the deep cultural foundations of the conceptualisation of the world. These linguistic units are used as a means for interpreting the value aspect of conceptualisation. The research is conducted on the material of Russian, Romanian and German. The linguistic material of the study refers to idioms, similes and metaphors as models, correlated with a deeper conceptual layer, which are actively used by modern speakers of the respective languages.

Role of Digitalization: Why Game-Based Learning Important During the COVID-19 Pandemic?
Authors: Putri Yoriska Noventi , Lutfi Achmad , Nasrudin Harun
Published: June 2023

Objective: Game-Based Learning (GBL) is an e-learning platform that drives learning. It can be used as an additional option for teachers because it integrates the learning process with the experience of playing games that can be done anywhere and anytime. The distance learning or online learning set by the government during the COVID-19 pandemic could not support learning. Obstacles faced by students resulted in a decrease in achievement due to the inaccuracy of the strategies and learning methods used by the teacher during the learning process. This study aimed to determine the role and usefulness of the GBL method during the pandemic. Method: The research method used is a qualitative literature review method with fifteen main articles as a reference. Result: The results of the study found that the role of GBL during the pandemic is to fun learning, increase interest in learning, increase student motivation, improving student learning outcomes, improving mastery of learning, improve student cognitive ability, increase student activity, boosting creativity, improve concept understanding & knowledge, practice digital literacy, and practice self-efficacy. Novelty: GBL method is essential and plays a significant role in learning during the pandemic. The advantage it has can be used to improve student achievement, primarily when online learning is implemented. However, in the process, parental supervision is still needed so students can avoid game addiction.

Saúde suplementar: os benefícios e desafios sobre o atendimento home care, sob a perspectiva da jurisprudência do STJ
Authors: Liberato Francisco Mauro Ferreira , Leitão Rômulo Guilherme
Published: June 2023

A saúde suplementar é um assunto relativamente novo no Brasil, que demanda algumas necessidades especiais, como o home care, cujo atendimento domiciliar, algumas vezes, é negado administrativamente. E esta situação produz uma judicialização da questão, em que o órgão julgador é provocado a decidir, de forma justa e equilibrada, entre o direito do segurado e o dever legal e contratual das operadoras que atuam no ramo. Com isso, propõe-se uma discussão que analise os benefícios e desafios sobre o home care enfrentados pelo Judiciário, especialmente à vista dos precedentes do Superior Tribunal de Justiça, considerando no estudo a ausência de uma disciplina legal sobre a matéria em estudo. Para tanto, será desenvolvida uma pesquisa bibliográfica, teórica e documental, com abordagem qualitativa, referenciada em obras e, notadamente, em decisões do STJ. Como resultado da pesquisa, espera-se levantar informações úteis que contribuam para uma solução sensata em relação às demandas judiciais que versem sobre home care com vistas à concretização do direito fundamental à saúde, mas que sejam procedentes, sob o aspecto jurisprudencial, que compreende questões legais, contratuais, financeiras e técnicas.

The problems that come from the current crisis of representation go back to the process of creating the notions and institutions of representative democracy. Through historical analysis we can better comprehend this complexity. This article aims to analyze the link between representation, participation and decentralization by focusing on the 1789 debates on the Municipality of Paris and Condorcet’s constitutional model, which still stands as a theoretical point of reference. The continuity in practical and theoretical issues concerning representation is also explored with regard to Condorcet’s claims in favor of women’s political rights intrinsically linked to his concept of representation. They are compared to the current gender parity arguments, which led in 1999 to the revision of art. IIII of the French Constitution encouraging the equal access to representative institutions. Stemmed from different contexts both these sets of arguments maintain that only parity between men and women renders the representation of national sovereignty effective.
Influência das legislações urbanísticas na expansão urbana
Authors: Moura Larissa Daniela Castro , Guedes Leonardo Guerra de Rezende
Published: June 2023

Este artigo discute a expansão urbana tendo como base o papel das legislações urbanísticas na estimulação do crescimento urbano. Acreditando que a legislação urbanística deve ser o principal condutor desse crescimento, discute-se o papel dos Planos Diretores na definição da configuração urbana. Assim, discorre-se sobre os principais fatores que motivaram o crescimento de parte da região sudeste de Goiânia, buscando estabelecer a relação temporal entre os principais acontecimentos, mostrando a atuação dos agentes produtores do espaço na dinâmica urbana. Como resultados da pesquisa, verificou-se a formação de adensamento e espraiamento em uma mesma região, tendo como principal indutor a implantação de um grande equipamento. Na região estudada, houve a formação de novos arranjos territoriais, com a concentração de condomínios horizontais fechados, ultrapassando os limites do município de Goiânia, o que levou à conurbação com o município vizinho, Senador Canedo. Nesse município também foi constatada a implantação de vários condomínios horizontais fechados.
El Círculo Militar como manifestación del asociacionismo castrense argentino (1943 - 1955)
Authors: Cornut Hernán
Published: June 2023

La dimensión del asociacionismo militar ha tenido escaso desarrollo en términos investigativos en la Argentina. Sus múltiples aristas, la diversidad de interpretaciones y la carencia de aproximaciones teóricas que echen bases para el diálogo, proveen al tema de un atractivo heurístico que demanda un estudio pormenorizado. El espacio institucional del Círculo Militar, en conjunción con las contingencias corporativas de origen para el caso de los oficiales del Ejército argentino, presenta la oportunidad de explorar un perfil alternativo que coopere en la definición de la historia social y cultural de los militares argentinos en un lapso crítico del siglo XX.
Mechanism and Effect Analysis of Digital Finance Empowering Rural Revitalization in Anhui Province: Based on the Mismatch of Urban and Rural Factors
Authors: Zha Huachao , Liu Xueqing
Published: June 2023

From the perspective of urban-rural factor mismatch, study the mechanism and effect of digital finance empowering rural revitalization in Anhui. The results showed that digital finance and its coverage had a positive impact on rural revitalization in Anhui, but the positive impact of depth of use on rural revitalization in Anhui was not significant. Mechanism analysis shows that there is a mesomeric effect with the mismatch of agricultural and non-agricultural sectors as the intermediary variable. Digital finance has a positive impact on rural revitalization in Anhui by improving the mismatch of urban and rural factors. Suggestions include further optimizing the allocation of urban-rural factors, increasing the penetration rate of digital finance, and emphasizing the application of digital finance in rural governance to accelerate the comprehensive revitalization of rural areas in Anhui.

The evolution of Internet of Things (IoT) makes the life of human being very easier. IoT makes it easy to control any device in a bit. Several IoT applications like smart homes, manufacturing, transportation, and consumer goods like wearables, smartphones are available. IoT is actually the network of devices that contain sensors, electronics, software’s, actuators, and connectivity which allows these things to connect, interact and exchange data. IoT made easy way to control the devices, collect the information from such devices, disseminate such information and transfer this information to analyze the same and to predict or prescribe the solution for the problems might exist. The large quantity of data is collected from IoT devices through the sensors where the Big Data came into picture. The paper reviews the relationship between IoT and Big Data.
Genetic Variation in Wood Specific Gravity in Poplar (Populus deltoides Bartr.) from two locations in Punjab
Authors: Dhillon G. P. , Sidhu D.
Published: June 2023

Specific gravity of wood was measured of samples collected at breast height of Poplars planted at two locations of Punjab viz. central plain region (Ludhiana) and semi-arid region (Bathinda). Significant differences among clones were noticed at both the locations. Specific gravity ranged from 0.403 to 0.475 in central plain region and from 0.356 to 0.436 in semi-arid region. The genotype x environment interaction was also significant. The genotypic and phenotypic coefficients of variation were low (2.88 to 5.88%). The heritability was moderate (40.82%) in central plain region and high (64.82%) in semi-arid region. Selection of promising clones for end use of wood on basis of specific gravity has been discussed.

Authors: Raj Antony , Paramathma M.
Published: June 2023

Thirty four candidate plus clumps of Bambusa bambos were selected from 17 locations of Tamil Nadu and assembled in the mother nursery at Forest College and Research Institute, Mettupalayam. Studies were undertaken in the mother nursery at six months after planting to elicit information on the correlation and path coefficients of Bambusa bambos. The characters leading shoot length, average shoot length, number of internodes per shoot, average internodal length, average culm diameter, leaf length and leaf width were found to be positively correlated with number of culms. Path coefficient analysis revealed that the average internodal length, leading shoot length, average shoot length, leading shoot diameter, average culm diameter have both direct and indirect effect on number of culms at six months after planting.
