How Practices Make Principles and How Principles Make Rules
Authors: Berman Mitchell
Published: October 2024

One of the most fundamental questions in general jurisprudence concerns what makes it the case that the law has the content that it does. It is the job of theories of legal content to provide answers. This article offers a novel positivist theory of legal content. According to the theory it calls “principled positivism,” legal practices ground legal principles, and legal principles determine legal rules. This two-level account of the determination of legal content differs from Hart’s celebrated theory in two essential respects: in relaxing Hart’s requirement that fundamental legal notions depend on judicial consensus; and in assigning weighted contributory legal norms—“principles”—an essential role in the determination of legal rights, duties, powers, and permissions. Drawing on concrete examples from American statutory and constitutional law, the article shows how the version of positivism that it introduces and defends betters Hart’s in meeting the most formidable challenges to positivism that Dworkin marshaled. The article also explains why the revisions it advances matter, legally as well as philosophically.
REMAINING OR MIGRATING? A PRESPECTIVE IN THE LIGHT OF THE SDGS
Authors: Santos Fernanda , Neves Pedro , Pereira Aida , Gonçalves Abílio , Lopes Paulo , Rebelo Paulo
Published: October 2024

Objective: The aim of the study is limited to the complex dynamics between permanence and migration, exploring the motivations behind these population movements in the light of the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
 
Theoretical Framework: This topic presents the most important concepts and theories on which the research is based. Of particular note is the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs)], which provides a solid basis for understanding the context of the research.
 
Method: The decision to return or stay is intrinsically linked to professional, social and personal factors. Professional aspects include salary considerations, working conditions and opportunities for career advancement. In contexts where the labor market is highly competitive, it can become an element of repulsion for the immigrant. On the other hand, financial incentives from the country of origin can act as attractive factors, as evidenced by the Chinese government offering benefits for the return of qualified emigrants, making professional opportunities in the country more attractive. Social aspects refer to the immigrant's adaptation to the social, political and cultural context of the host country. Personal factors, such as family situation and friendship networks, are interlinked with social and cultural issues, influencing the decision to stay or migrate.
 
Results and Discussion: The topics studied revealed that migrating or staying is a complex choice, influenced by various motivations. Some are rooted in economic stability and employment conditions, or even with the influence of family seen as a crucial factor, molding educational and professional decisions, transmitting values and expectations. Cultural preservation and identity stand out as fundamental elements in the decision-making process.
 
Research Implications: The practical and theoretical implications of this research are discussed, covering factors such as geographical mobility, resistance to change, family influence, cultural preservation, identity and the socio-economic impacts of demographic change.
 
Originality/Value: The importance of this study arises from the scarcity of studies that have attempted to cover factors such as geographical mobility, resistance to change, family influence, cultural preservation, identity and the socio-economic impacts of demographic change.
TRACING THE SHADOWS: ANALYZING BINARIES AND BOUNDARIES IN AMITAV GHOSH’S THE SHADOW LINES
Authors: Banerjee Abhisek
Published: October 2024

This paper delves into the intricate interplay of binaries and boundaries within the novel. Amitav Ghosh masterfully explores the fluidity of identity and the arbitrary nature of borders, both physical and psychological. Through a fragmented narrative that intertwines personal and historical timelines, Ghosh challenges the reader to reconsider the distinctions between reality and imagination, past and present, and self and other. The novel’s structure, divided into “Going Away” and “Coming Home,” reflects the blurred lines between these concepts, as characters navigate their identities amidst shifting political and social landscapes. The protagonist’s journey, marked by his identification with his mentor Tridib and his eventual union with May, underscores the theme of interconnectedness that transcends geographical and temporal boundaries. The metaphor of ‘shadow lines’ serves as a powerful symbol of the illusory divisions that separate people and places, highlighting the shared human experiences that unite them. By examining the characters’ struggles with displacement, memory, and belonging, this paper aims to shed light on Ghosh’s critique of nationalism and the concept of fixed identities. The analysis will focus on how the novel’s fragmented structure and narrative techniques underscore the interconnectedness of individual lives and broader socio-political contexts. Ultimately, this paper argues that The Shadow Lines asserts the transformative power of imagination in transcending the limitations imposed by arbitrary boundaries, offering a nuanced perspective on identity, and belonging in a postcolonial world.

Authors: Darekar Sheetal , Dunghav Ajay , Jain Navneet , Srinija Kondi , Wagh Jatin
Published: October 2024

Growing was digital marketing prior to the pandemic. Digital marketing knowledge and awareness increased, but more slowly. Few large brands considered it essential or a way to reach a wider audience worldwide. Furthermore, because they had smaller marketing budgets, nontraditional startups were the first to experiment with digital marketing. The COVID-19 pandemic has had a significant impact on how businesses operate. Many businesses are opting to conduct customer interactions and brand sales virtually via the internet due to health and safety concerns. The world has gone online, from clothing to food and medicine. The company experienced a total digital makeover overnight. The survey indicates that 66% of these companies have finished digital marketing tasks that previously seemed like a huge challenge, and 59% of these companies have increased their efforts in this area. All of the brands that had chosen to sell digitally kept doing so as the pandemic passed, and the world started to open up. Along with saving money on various traditional marketing expenses, they also produced better results. In fact, they have begun hiring more people and growing their teams for digital marketing, which offers marketing freshmen a lucrative career opportunity.In this study, we examine whether digital marketing has significantly expanded both before and after the COVID-19 pandemic. The responses of marketing managers from 100 Pune-based companies are used in a two-sample means test for this purpose. The findings indicate that during the COVID period, digital marketing has become significantly more important.
UNDERSTANDING THE CONSTITUTIONAL DYNAMICS OF TRIBAL POLITY IN INDIA: THE STUDY OF LADAKH AND RAJASTHAN
Authors: Meena Harsh
Published: October 2024

The term ‘Federalism’ refers to and deals with multiple aspects; it relates to administrative setup in the constitutional distribution of power in various layers of government. At the same time, it also works as a system to accommodate multiple identities in a plural administrative setup; it is fiscal and administrative, it can accommodate aspirations, and at the same time, it can adopt exclusivity. Comparative and cooperative can also be the dimension of federalism. As the word Federation is derived from the Latin word ‘foedus’, which means agreement or treaty, ironically, in modern plural democracies, it acts as the consensus builder and the reason for conflict, protest and movements.The paper will explore the various dimensions of federalism in India, particularly tribal polity. The tribes in India are not homogenous groups, and their heterogeneities can be seen in terms of their regional, culturally specific demands within the scope of federal arrangements in India. Politically and administratively, the Post-Independent India struggled to address the tribal aspirations. Even though administrative arrangements have been made to the constitution in the form of the Vth and VIth schedules, the tribal aspirations in the federal polity of India demand further accommodation and representation.

Published: October 2024

In order to develop a complete advertising strategy that more effectively engages, communicates, markets, and sells to consumers in a world where technology continues to evolve, hybrid marketing combines traditional and digital marketing approaches. The organization needs to have a hybrid overall marketing plan from a strategic point of view. This essentially means that while creating your plan, consider traditional as well as digital ways of thinking. Although embracing a hybrid marketing attitude will require intentional work at first, creating a hybrid marketing plan will become routine to you in time, particularly if you have more experience with one kind of marketing than the other. When designing a digital product, take into account how the consumer experience might be strengthened by offline connections.Likewise, in the process of generating an offline good or service, utilize the benefits of digital platforms and channels to improve consumer transaction speed, ease, and productivity. Similar offline and online channels are used by communication and equity in brands, but at various points in the customer journey, to engage and interact with customers. Digital advertising cannot reach and engage clients in the exact same manner as offline media . Using the best resources that turn out to be the most successful and generate the biggest return on investment is known as hybrid marketing. Some of the most effective hybrid advertising strategies are listed in this article.

AN OVERVIEW OF DHOKRA ART (BASTAR) PROGRESSION FROM ART TO DESIGN
Authors: Banerjee Ujwal , Rani Poonam
Published: October 2024

Tribal Art and Craft, the pluralism of our nation that results from its diverse cultures. Every region possesses a unique artistic aesthetic. Most regions feature tribal arts and crafts in rural and indigenous areas. Chattisgarh is distinguished among the states due to its distinct folk and tribal cultures. Folk and tribal art and craft are manifestations of the pastoral way of life, religious convictions, and unpretentiousness of the people. Baster as a region of Chhattisgarh is characterized by its diverse communities, cultures, and artistic expressions. An area inhabited by numerous tribes that is remote from the progression of human civilization. Tribal lifestyle, caste system, and social rituals are all distinguishing characteristics that set these communities apart from others.
Dhokraas an indigenous art form originated as part of the tribal life, and culture and uniquely reflects their community, rituals, and beliefs. The purpose of this paper is to present an overview on original form of craft, changes over time, and how the craft is being used in the design. The craft originated as part of the life of the tribal culture and reflects their community, rituals, and beliefs, and maintains a unique character. Over time the craft had gone through changes because of various influencing factors e.g., new requirements within their community, source of livelihood, artists and designers became interested in the craft, reach to the market, and support received from the Govt. The changes in the craft can be seen from various perspectives, from form, size, material, subject matter, and technique.  The intention is to highlight progressive visual imagery, product design, and impact on the art form.

Enhancing Existential Graphs: Peirce's Late Improvements
Authors: Schmidt Jon Alan
Published: October 2024

Abstract: Charles Peirce developed Existential Graphs as a diagrammatic syntax for representing and reasoning about propositions, with three parts: Alpha for propositional logic, Beta for first-order predicate logic, and Gamma for aspects of modal logic, second-order logic, and metalanguage. He made several adjustments between 1909 and 1911 that merit further consideration: using heavy lines to denote possible states of things in which attached propositions would be true, drawing a red line just inside the edge of a page and writing postulates in the resulting margin, shading oddly enclosed areas instead of drawing thin lines as their boundaries, and using multiple sheets of paper to represent different subjects within the overall universe of discourse. These modifications can be combined to constitute a plausible candidate for Delta, a fourth part that Peirce intended to add but never spelled out. It implements modern formal systems of modal propositional logic in accordance with a version of possible worlds semantics in which the laws for the actual state of things are facts in every possible state of things.
A Thread of Recitative Ruffs
Authors: Boyle Matthew L. C. , Sherrill Paul
Published: October 2024

This article presents a schema-driven analysis of the accompanied recitative “Erbarm es, Gott” from Johann Sebastian Bach’s

St. Matthew Passion. Arguing that the scene is best understood in dialogue with the conventions of the Italianate “galant” style of eighteenth-century recitative, we suggest that the music is guided by a simple thread of modulation upward through the circle of fifths. This thread is driven by repeated application of a particular harmonic schema—the “ruff,” as described in Sherrill and Boyle (".fn_cite_year($sherrill_2015).")—which prototypically displaces a consonant harmony with a ".fn_sharp('')."4 figure over a static bass. Tonal arrivals are repeatedly implied and then evaded, such that the recitative’s simple tonal thread is best understood in terms of events that do not actually occur. This interpretation counterpoints Heinrich Schenker’s analysis of the recitative in

Der Tonwille, whose details are explored in conjunction with the schema-based perspective. The final portion of the article advances an expressive interpretation of the music, engaging also with scholarship on the

Passion such as Chafe (".fn_cite_year($chafe_1991)."). In our reading, the recitative’s tonal shape stages an experience of progressive engrossment in the diegetic world of the Passion, broken off by an abrupt narrative negation at its end. In doing so, the article synthesizes divergent music-theoretical methodologies, hoping to show how the stylistically and culturally informed perspective of schema theory offers a site where the formal insights of Schenkerian theory can be integrated with semiotic criticism.
Formal Functions of Drum Patterns in Post-Millennial Pop Songs, 2012–2021
Authors: Geary David
Published: October 2024

Drum patterns are fundamental to popular music’s soundscape. But the majority of music-theoretical scholarship about drum patterns focuses on their rhythmic and metric features, and there is no widely adopted method for analyzing how drum patterns help express form across complete songs. Grounded in a corpus study from the

Billboard Year-End Pop Airplay Songs charts from 2012–2021, this article introduces an analytical method that succinctly depicts the main characteristics of post-millennial pop drum patterns in order to highlight the significant and specific ways they help express formal boundaries, teleological functions, and formal motion. Drum patterns in this repertoire are typically a variation of a standard rock or four-on-the-floor pattern, and my context-based analytical system frames drum patterns as different realizations of three parameters: number of layers, rhythm, and instrumentation. A song’s multiple drum patterns can be analyzed and compared according to these characteristics, and these characteristics can also be used to classify drum pattern changes. In the second half of the article, I present analyses that, in addition to showcasing the system’s utility, emphasize two broad points: that drum patterns can be a primary expresser of teleological functions within individual sections, across formal cycles, and throughout complete songs; and that drum patterns can help express post-millennial pop’s conventional layouts and more novel formal designs.
Pitch Registration and Harmonic Fields in Works of Pierre Boulez, Marco Stroppa, and Yukiko Watanabe
Authors: Tönies Simon
Published: October 2024

This paper discusses a method for harmonic field analysis of serial and post-serial music. The method is informed by perception-oriented considerations and was specifically designed for an analysis of Pierre Boulez’s early serial music. It is therefore exemplified by his 1951 composition

Polyphonie X. Harmonic field analysis can however be applied to any music where pitch registration plays an important role. Accordingly, I will provide a brief overview of harmonic relations in two more recent compositions by Marco Stroppa and Yukiko Watanabe, demonstrating that harmonic fields have been used by composers to mediate between the generative layers of pitch organization and the sounding surface.
Hands, Fingers, Strings, and Bows
Authors: Cole Christa
Published: October 2024

In this article, I draw on public-facing sources and my violinistic experience to show how attention to performance technique illustrates three different relationships between performance and analysis. In the Largo from J.S. Bach’s Sonata No. 3 for Solo Violin (BWV 1005), multiple-stop chords, string-based affordances, and bowings in turn correspond with, contradict, and create new analytical perspectives. I first collate definitions of interpretation and technique as they relate to performance. Interpretation is non-instrument-specific and deals with decoding and expressing musical meaning; technique
is instrument-specific and deals with the granular mechanics of sound production. A multiple-stop intensity model shows that changes in a violinist’s multiple-stop-based effort
correspond with significant cadential markers. At the local level, the violinistic “feel” of each quadruple stop aligns with expressive aspects of harmony and form. Heinrich Schenker’s performance recommendations for the Largo’s cadences, by contrast,
conflict with a violinist’s experience of how the cadences intersect with instrumental affordances. Although the two perspectives may be reconcilable, actual performances support the instrument-grounded perspective. Finally, I draw on basic bowing motions to
create an analytical technique of bowing reduction. My reduction of the Largo reveals a recurring bowing-based motive, which in turn elucidates the source of a performative tension I have experienced when playing the movement. This final example reminds us that technique and interpretation—just like performance and analysis—are inevitably entangled.
Post-Recapitulatory Organization in Beethoven’s Early Sonata-Rondo Finales
Authors: Huguet Joan
Published: October 2024

This paper proposes a new model of closure for Beethoven’s sonata-rondo finales that describes the wide variety of ways in which sonata and rondo elements can interact to create unexpected harmonic and formal possibilities after the recapitulation. The paper first considers what models of sonata form can and cannot tell us about sonata-rondo closure and develops a typology of constituent formal functions for sonata-rondo post-recapitulatory space. It then outlines how these formal functions combine to create a variety of post-recapitulatory prototypes in Beethoven’s early-period sonata rondos. Finally, it considers the analytical benefits of distinguishing between sonata and sonata-rondo modes of closure.
Mid-Exposition Modal Contrast and Francesco Galeazzi’s “Characteristic Passage”
Authors: Long Rebecca
Published: October 2024

This article considers the merits of analyzing a compositional practice that occurs in some major-mode, mid-eighteenth-century sonata-form works using contemporaneous concepts. In these works, the post-transition part of the exposition opens in the minor-mode version of the secondary key rather than the prepared, major-mode key. This minor-mode insertion is short-lived: the movement usually shifts to the anticipated, major-mode secondary key after a phrase or two, and the exposition concludes in that key. These passages are best understood as minor-mode examples of Francesco Galeazzi’s “characteristic passage,” a medial passage that occurs in the secondary key. While they can be analyzed using modern approaches to sonata form, these approaches often dramatize this point in the exposition in a way that is inconsistent with mid-eighteenth-century style.
In addition to arguing for analysis informed by contemporaneous thought, this article includes an examination of the hallmarks and use of minor-mode characteristic passages, the use of these passages in minor-mode movements from the mid-eighteenth century and beyond, and a discussion of possible historical precedents. The article’s conclusion considers analyses of two works that, from a modern perspective, use the same structure but that, from Galeazzi’s perspective, are different in both structure and implication. This suggests that, much as conflicting analyses reveal different aspects of a single work, different apparatuses—be they contemporary or contemporaneous—may reveal different aspects of style.
Three Sailors, Three Personalities: Choreomusical Analysis of the Solo Variations in
Fancy Free
Authors: Short Rachel
Published: October 2024

A thorough understanding of how music and movement synthesize is vital for deeper exploration of multimedia artworks. In this article, I demonstrate a choreomusical analytic technique that links detailed analyses of both music and choreography from the ballet
Fancy Free, a work that was the product of a close collaboration between Leonard Bernstein and Jerome Robbins. Specifically, I explore the three sailors’ solo variations, noting placement and repetition of rhythmic and choreographic phrases, elisions and metric changes, and reinterpretation of rhythmic patterns. I observe differences in grouping and accents to reveal how the changing relationships between dance and music create unique characterizations for each of the sailors. My integrated reading of music and original choreography explores the relationship between music and movement, offering a way to understand how they intertwine.
Referents in the Palimpsests of Jazz
Authors: Smither Sean R.
Published: October 2024

Jazz analysts have long struggled with the ways in which tunes can be accounted for in analyses of musical structure. When analyzing the utterances jazz musicians make in an improvised performance, it is difficult to disentangle the musical elements related to what Jeff Pressing termed the “referent”—the improviser’s conceptualization of the tune—from those more freely improvised in the moment. Complicating this problem is the fact that standard jazz tunes themselves are not fixed structures with essential, immutable musical components; no definitive version exists of any given tune. Instead, tunes are flexible and malleable, permitting infinite variations.

In this article, I develop a methodology that provisionally disentangles jazz improvisations from the tunes on which they are based. I begin by theorizing the structure and function of various tune-referents before outlining a theory of referent defaults. I then present two case studies, one on melody and one on harmony, that examine the relations between different performances in order to arrive at a postulated referent for use in further analysis. Finally, I draw on anthropologist Timothy Ingold’s concept of textility to illuminate the nuanced ways that jazz improvisers engage with referents.
Ernst Friedrich Richter and the Birth of Modern Music Theory Pedagogy
Authors: Utne-Reitan Bjørnar
Published: October 2024

This article provides a detailed discussion of the pedagogy and legacy of Ernst Friedrich Richter (1808–79). A theory teacher at the Leipzig Conservatory since its founding in 1843, Richter is most famous for authoring one of the most enduring harmony manuals—theLehrbuch der Harmonie(1853)—which, among other things, was instrumental in popularizing the use of Roman numeral analysis in harmony pedagogy. Gaining a hegemonic position in the Western music theory discourse of the late nineteenth century, he played a key role in shaping the common practice of modern music theory pedagogy. Richter’s legacy has been tainted by critiques from several later theorists. Applying a Foucauldian discourse-theoretical lens, this article attempts to look beyond this historically negative assessment by asking what enabled Richter’s work to become so influential. The article is structured in six sections. Following the introduction and a brief overview of E. F. Richter’s life and works, two sections discuss what characterizes “Richterian” pedagogy. As source material, these sections draw on Richter’s writings as well as the exercises of one of his most famous students, Edvard Grieg (1843–1907). The last section before the conclusion investigates Richter’s legacy, considering both his initial broad international success and later critiques of his influence on modern music theory pedagogy.
Development of a demulsifier and technological process study for the preparation of highly viscous heavy oils for refinement
Authors: Dosso Ouehi  , Souleymane Coulibaly  , Ablo Evrard  , Tchambaga Etienne Camara  , Siomenan Coulibali
Published: October 2024

One of the challenges in the petroleum industry is the production of highly viscous heavy oils, often accompanied by undesirable emulsion formation with very high aggregate stability. To prepare the crude oils for refinement, the oils must be destroyed. The destruction of aqueous emulsions containing highly viscous heavy oils is an intricate task owing to the comparatively small disparity in water and oil densities, as well as the high viscosity of the dispersive medium and its high content of mechanical impurities. The problem of the destruction of petroleum emulsions arises desperately during the desalination and dehydration of crude oils with a high content of emulsifiers (resins, asphalts, paraffin, etc.) The creation of a highly efficient demulsifier and the development of an optimal technological process for the preparation of highly emulsifying oils that are distinguished by the composition and quantity of emulsifiers of West Siberian oils, which are widely refined in Russia, are the ways to resolve this challenging and timely issue. This study focuses on the viscous heavy oil of the Verbliouje deposit in the Astrakhan region. It also explains the creation of an effective demulsifier for the destruction of petroleum emulsions characterized by a very high emulsifying power and the fundamental principles of the development of deep dehydration technology and desalination of such high-viscosity heavy oils.
Phytocannabinoïds: Therapeutic potential, mechanism of action, and regulatory challenges
Authors: Amina BAHLOUL  , Bachir NABTI
Published: October 2024

Phytocannabinoïds, notably cannabidiol (CBD) and tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), are the primary active compounds in the Cannabis sativa plant. These compounds interact with the endocannabinoid system in humans, which regulates various physiological processes. The scientific exploration of phytocannabinoïds has expanded significantly due to their potential therapeutic effects. Concurrently, regulatory frameworks are evolving to accommodate the increasing medicinal use of these compounds. A comprehensive review of peer-reviewed literature was conducted to evaluate the therapeutic effects, mechanisms of action, and safety profiles of phytocannabinoïds. Regulatory documents and policy papers from multiple countries were analyzed to understand the legal status and regulatory approaches toward phytocannabinoïds. Data sources included PubMed, regulatory agency websites, and international health organization reports. The review highlighted that CBD and THC exhibit significant promise in treating conditions such as epilepsy, chronic pain, multiple sclerosis, and anxiety. CBD is generally well-tolerated with a favorable safety profile, while THC, despite its psychoactive effects, has demonstrated efficacy in pain management and muscle spasticity. Regulatory landscapes vary widely, with countries like Canada and Uruguay fully legalizing cannabis, while others, such as the United States, maintain a complex legal framework with federal restrictions but state-level legalization. This fragmentation poses challenges for researchers and healthcare providers. Phytocannabinoïds present a substantial opportunity for therapeutic advancement, supported by growing scientific evidence. However, the regulatory environment remains inconsistent, necessitating harmonization to facilitate research and clinical application. Future efforts should focus on robust clinical trials to establish definitive efficacy and safety profiles and on developing coherent regulatory policies that balance public health concerns with the therapeutic potential of phytocannabinoïds.

Cultural exchange programs for international students in US universities represent a complex and dynamic journey, affecting their academic performance and personal well-being. As globalization expands, U.S. universities have dramatically increased the enrollment of multicultural students, which has increased scholarly interest in understanding the challenges these students face in navigating unfamiliar social, academic, and cultural environments. One of the most profound challenges is the language barrier that affects every stage of a student's learning journey, from understanding lectures to completing assignments to participating in class discussions and social interactions. In addition to language difficulties, social integration presents another important barrier. Cultural differences in communication styles, social norms, and interpersonal relationships can make it difficult for international students to interact with American peers, leading to feelings of isolation and homesickness. These challenges translate into pedagogical changes, as different teaching strategies, assessment processes, and classroom dynamics can be very different from what international students are accustomed to. To address these challenges, U.S. universities have implemented language assistance programs, peer mentoring, and community engagement programs. These efforts aim to facilitate cultural exchange, encourage social inclusion, and enhance the academic achievement of international students. As a result, both success and prosperity have increased. Through these targeted interventions, institutions strive to create an inclusive and supportive environment that fosters cultural exchange and enhances the educational experience for all students.

This study investigated the relationship that exists between seasonal migration and social life of youth in the Eastern Barienou, Benin. Several young people from the Barienou district in the northern Benin leave their homes each year to work in Nigeria’s agricultural sector. Migration is a strategy employed to improve their standard of living. The objective of this study was to investigate the effect of seasonal migration on social life of youth in the Eastern Barienou. This study employed a mixed-method research design that combines a correlation survey and a phenomenological study. The population of the study included 450 people. The sampling frame included not only a list of youth in the Eastern Barienou district but also a list youth’s parents and youth’s leaders. A total of 196 participants were sampled using stratified sampling techniques. Data were collected using a questionnaire, an interview guide and a focus group discussion guide. A multivariate regression analysis was run to assess the association between seasonal migration and social life. Seasonal migration has a significant negative relationship with youth social life (β=.-39, p<.001). QDA miner lite V3.0.6 was used for qualitative data analysis, SPSS 21 for descriptive analysis, and SPSS AMOS 26 for multivariate regression analysis. The study recommended that the Benin government enhance farming sector in the Eastern Barienou district and collaborate with the Nigerian government to improve working conditions for seasonal migrants.

Sustainable fisheries management is critical for balancing the dual objectives of economic growth and environmental conservation, particularly in U.S. waters where overfishing, habitat degradation, and fluctuating marine ecosystems pose significant challenges. This review explores the role of mathematical models in addressing these challenges and guiding fisheries management decisions. Various models, including population dynamics, bioeconomic, and ecosystem-based approaches, are examined for their utility in setting sustainable catch limits, assessing stock health, and predicting ecosystem changes. Through case studies of U.S. fisheries, the paper highlights how these models have been implemented within the framework of federal regulations, such as the Magnuson-Stevens Act, to achieve sustainable yields while supporting economic growth. The review also identifies trade-offs between short-term economic gains and long-term conservation goals, emphasizing the need for adaptive management strategies. Finally, it explores emerging innovations in mathematical modeling techniques, such as artificial intelligence, and provides policy recommendations to enhance the integration of these models into sustainable fisheries management. This paper underscores the importance of mathematical models as essential tools in ensuring the future viability of U.S. fisheries, balancing economic prosperity with the preservation of marine ecosystems.
