Security compliance and its implication for cybersecurity
Authors: Adebola Folorunso  , Ifeoluwa Wada  , Bunmi Samuel  , Viqaruddin Mohammed
Published: October 2024

Security compliance plays a critical role in shaping and enhancing the cybersecurity posture of organizations. It involves adhering to legal, regulatory, and industry standards that govern data protection, privacy, and security measures. Key regulations, such as GDPR, HIPAA, and PCI DSS, along with international standards like ISO/IEC 27001 and NIST, require organizations to implement security frameworks aimed at managing risks, protecting sensitive data, and ensuring the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of information. The impact of security compliance extends beyond regulatory adherence. By implementing compliance frameworks, organizations enhance their ability to mitigate threats, respond to incidents, and recover from security breaches more effectively. These frameworks help ensure that security measures are consistent, well-documented, and aligned with industry best practices. Additionally, compliance fosters organizational accountability by requiring management oversight and promoting a security-first culture across all levels. However, compliance also presents challenges. Organizations must balance the often resource-intensive process of maintaining compliance with the need for a proactive security strategy that addresses emerging cyber threats. Compliance is sometimes viewed as a "check-the-box" activity, which may lead to a gap between regulatory adherence and actual security needs. Furthermore, the constantly evolving threat landscape requires continuous updates to compliance frameworks, which can be costly and complex, especially for multinational organizations operating under different regulatory regimes. Non-compliance can lead to severe consequences, including legal penalties, financial losses, reputational damage, and operational disruptions. As technology and cyber threats evolve, the relationship between security compliance and cybersecurity will continue to grow in importance, with a greater focus on integrating risk-based approaches and automation into compliance management.

Published: October 2024

Palladium (Pd), whose use has been increasing in recent years, is one of the heavy metals that pose a danger to the environment and human health, and it is known that heavy metals can be extremely harmful when inhaled from the air and taken into the human body. Therefore, monitoring and reducing the change of Pd pollution in the air is very important. This study aimed to determine the usability of Robinia pseudoacacia, which is grown intensively in urban areas where heavy metal pollution may be high, to monitor and reduce the change in Pd pollution in the air. Within the scope of the study, changes in Pd concentration in Robinia pseudoacacia stem sections grown in Düzce, among the 5 most polluted cities in Europe, depending on organ, direction, and age range in the last 60 years, were evaluated. As a result, it was determined that Pd pollution in the region may have been released into nature through agricultural activities or transported from much more distant sources. It was also determined that the species is not a suitable biomonitor that can be used to monitor the change in Pd pollution. Still, it is an accumulator species that is extremely suitable for reducing Pd pollution.

On the other hand, recent developments in Robotics and Artificial Intelligence continue to transform how exploration, production, and maintenance activities are carried out in these reservoirs. This review paper encompasses how Robotics and AI technologies are applied to these unconventional reservoirs, improving operation efficiency, increasing the recovery rate and minimizing environmental damage. It updates on the latest status of autonomous drilling, AI-driven reservoir characterization and robotic fracturing. The paper also discusses future opportunities: emerging technologies, integration of AI with predictive analytics, and innovations toward sustainability. These are the challenges that come with possible solutions discussed in the paper: high costs, technical integration, and data quality. The review thereby presents the thought that robotics and AI will take a transformative role in the unconventional reservoir sector during the next few years, both in economic performance and environmental sustainability.
Utilization of big data analytics to identify population health trends and optimize healthcare delivery system efficiency
Authors: Olayanju Adedoyin Zainab  , Toochukwu Juliet Mgbole
Published: October 2024

Big data analytics has emerged as an incredibly valuable tool in understanding population health trends and improving the effectiveness of healthcare delivery systems. By leveraging big data sources from various domains, including the patients’ electronic health records, claims data, wearables, and social media accounts, healthcare organizations can obtain novel and rich insights regarding population health characteristics, predisposing factors, and disease progression. The arrival of big data has transformed healthcare organizations by providing a scientific population health management and health system enhancement tool. Using superior analytical tools, healthcare entrepreneurs and policymakers can discover relations, rates, and patterns that are concealed in large data sets. Such knowledge can be used for early detection of possible interventions, management of resources, and prevention measures, thus leading to better health and less spending on health issues. Moreover, big data analytics helps in early diagnostics and the development of management strategies for high-risk groups, which in turn improves the functioning and effectiveness of healthcare systems. It is also important to note that big data solutions in healthcare are not limited to population health management, but also include functional aspects of healthcare organizations. Additionally, using data about patient movements, resource consumption, and clinical activity, it is possible to determine inefficiencies and opportunities to improve processes in healthcare organizations. This approach of collecting and analyzing data helps in decision making thus reducing time and improving patient flow and experience. However, incorporating real-time data into the clinical decision support systems can improve diagnostic capabilities, treatments offered, and patient tracking resulting in improved quality of services delivered.

This study examined sustainability techniques for transforming marginal lands to support building infrastructures in parts of Rivers State, Nigeria. The study adopted the cross-sectional survey research design method employing the use of standard penetration approach utilizing Geographic Information System analysis. Marginal lands were delineated as margins of watrbodies using the polygon method in ArcGIS, and were created as a feature class for polygon data (shape file). The locations, river margins and roads formed point data, polygon data and line data respectively. Digitisation was achieved using Orthophoto Image in ArcGIS 10.0 software where seven geotechnical boreholes were located and drilled using permission rig to a depth of 10.5m in five local government areas of Rivers State. In-situ standard penetration testing and soil sampling for laboratory geotechnical properties was done using standard laboratory techniques. Findings of the analysis show that silty and sandy clay are the dominant soil within the foundation depth of 1-2.5m which are underlained by clays and sands of varying densities and grain sizes with their specific gravity value of ranges of 1.9 – 2.66 depicting that the areas are underlined by organic, diatomaceous and high porosity permeability soils deposits under water logged conditions. The cohesive strength of the soils vary from 65KN/m 2 - 115KN/m 2, angle of internal friction ranged from 0o – 10o and shear strength ranged from 110KN/m 2 – 147.46KN/m 2 and the allowable bearing capacities of 180.22KN/m 2 – 236.05KN/m 2. The stability techniques for the transformation of the land to support building infrastructures are pre-construction soil stabilization and marginal land reinforcement. The study thus recommends for building summation of consolidated techniques for sustainability of infrastructures.

Authors: Nassr Salem Khalil
Published: October 2024

The reality of the occupation and the repeated offensives the Palestinian people lived through every day across Palestine doubled the number of orphans. The resulting political and institutional need for the effective management of institutions that care for orphans in various governorates increased. This study aimed to identify the most important features of organizational behavior derived from the Holy Qur’an and the Sunnah of the Prophet, according to which work is carried out in the Dora Islamic Society for Orphan Care. The research problem was chosen to identify the main challenges facing this charity in managing its operations and to explore the strategies it uses to overcome these challenges. The study used the descriptive approach to study the descriptive case, which is the charity. The study used the interview tool, so the questions and topics that were discussed were developed, and answers to their questions were obtained with the charity’s team through interviews. The work of the charity stems strongly from the legal foundation of the disposal of (clean) money for the benefit of orphan care. The charity has become a reference for hundreds of needy families and a point of trust for them. The results indicated that the prevailing organizational behavior in the charity is linked to the Sharia rulings, and each procedure is tried according to its legislative principles. The team was genuine and reflective of strong trust internally, as well as a strong relationship between the servant leader style of the CEO and the rest of the team members.
Social History of Islamic Banking and First Example: Bank-I Awqāf
Authors: Akgunduz Ahmed
Published: October 2024

The cash waqf was a special category of Islamic endowment and played an important role in the economic/financial history of the Ottoman Empire. As such, it can be considered an important Islamic financial institution that facilitated the flow of funds from those who could save to those who needed capital, i.e. primarily entrepreneurs as well as the general public. This institution is also considered one of the most important Ottoman contributions to Islamic civilisations. Ottoman scholars have been discussing Islamic banking since Suleiman the Magnificent (1574). Islamic banking was known in the Ottoman state as Mu'amalah al-Shar'iyyah, which we can simply call murâbahah. The Ottoman state established the "Awariḍ Akcasi Sandiklari", which means "The Box of Waqf Money". Ottoman scholars preferred "Mudaraba" and murâbahah or qarḍ. This practice continued with the establishment of the Awqaf Bank in 1914. On 1914, the Ottoman Ministry of Awqaf decided to establish the first Islamic bank, Bank-i Ewqaf, with its central branch in Istanbul and possible new branches in all provinces. The bank's system was entirely Mu'amalah al-Shar'iyyah or simply Murâbahah. This bank had the right to issue bonds, certificates, transfer money, etc.
Cultural Contexts of the Formation of Science in the Social-Historical Context of Islamic Countries
Authors: Shamsaei Maryam
Published: October 2024

Science has a social nature, which is formed and developed by the interaction of people in a society, and many sociological factors, including culture, are influential in its formation. This article deals with the cultural contexts of the formation of science in the social-historical framework of Islamic countries, which tries to answer the question of what place cultural factors and contexts have in the formation of science in Islamic societies. The research methodology is focused on the common paradigms in the field of the relationship between science and culture with the documentary method and logical reasoning and in the framework of the philosophy of the cultural system and has finally explained the process of how these two influence each other. The results of the study emphasize the to express the issue that science is the result of the systematic knowledge of people in every society. Science is formed and grows in the culture of societies, therefore, when a culture becomes materialistic, material sciences are inevitably formed in it with the same basis, and if it is a divine and religious culture, science is also formed on the same basis. Our definition of culture is “The set of human perceptions has reached a collective agreement ". These findings are the result of knowing the people of that society. Cognition is a tool that includes: the sense to collect information, intellect to categorize, conclude, and summarize, and heart to confirm the result. The solution for understanding science in Islam is to pay attention to the three tools of knowledge, are sense, intellect, and heart.
The Emergence of Shi’a Sect as an Implication of the Development of Thought and Politics
Authors: Ulvah Nur'aeni
Published: October 2024

The emergence of Shi'a sects is a result of the complex interplay between the development of thought and politics within the Shi'a school of Islam. This paper explores the factors that led to the formation of various Shi'a sects throughout history using a descriptive analysis method. The origin and development of Shi'a are discussed, including the diverse opinions regarding its emergence. Some scholars argue that Shi'a existed during the lifetime of Prophet Muhammad, while others believe it formed after his death, during the caliphate of Ali, or after the tragedy of Karbala. The definition of Shi'a is also examined, with four main categories identified: those who believe in Ali's superiority without acknowledging the imamah of other imams; those who prioritize Ali over other companions; those who support Ali and the concept of Imamah; and those who believe in Ali, the infallibility of imams from his lineage, and the necessity to support the imams and oppose their enemies. The development of Shi'a thought and the political landscape played crucial roles in shaping the identity and characteristics of different Shi'a sects. Understanding these factors is essential for gaining a deeper insight into the complex history and diversity within Shi'a Islam, as well as addressing misunderstandings and generalizations about Shi'a beliefs. This paper provides a comprehensive overview of the historical context and interconnected events that contributed to the crystallization of Shi'a as a distinct school of thought and the subsequent emergence of its various sects.
The System of Forensic Activity Digitalization Theory

Published: October 2024

The article examines the system of private theory of forensic activity digitalization from the standpoint of forensic expertology. The subject, objects, tasks of the theory and its place in forensic expertology are described. The paper presents the theory of forensic activity digitalization that can be attributed to several private theories, the provisions of which equally apply both to the process of expert examination in general and to expert studies of individual types of examinations as well. Two sections in the theory system are designated: forensic examination of digital footprints and information and computer support for forensic activity. The first section includes and considers the following: the nature of digital footprints, their properties and features and the mechanism of formation; forms of presentation and classification of digital footprints and their carriers as objects of forensic examinations; general tasks of digital footprints expert examination. The second section pays attention to the technologies of algorithmizing and digitalization of methods and techniques of forensic examination. The prospects for the introduction of neural networks to forensic examination and the related relevant problems are considered. In addition, the author notes changes in the methodology and technologies for developing expert methods in connection with the introduction of artificial intelligence algorithms. This section outlines the areas of application of neural networks for solving forensic problems. The reasons for erroneous conclusions related to application of neural networks in forensic examinations are analyzed. Particular attention is paid to the sources of model risk. To develop methods for solving typical expert problems based on neural networks it is proposed to create forensic datasets and repositories for consequent analysis and machine learning for various types of forensic examinations. The article also substantiates the need for new expert competencies: expert data analyst, expert data engineer and machine learning engineer.

Authors: Mishchuk V. A.
Published: October 2024

The article addresses the relationship between the concepts of “artificial intelligence” (AI) and “artificial neural networks” (ANNs) in forensic context. Over the past few years there has been some growing scientific interest in applying these technologies in forensic examination, which makes the issue of how these developments are currently impacting forensic practice and how they might influence it in the long term quite relevant. The identification of their specific characteristics is expected to facilitate a more efficient integration of AI and ANNs into forensic activities at the methodological, legal, and organizational levels. To illustrate the general relationship between artificial intelligence (AI) and neural networks, and to demonstrate how they differ, the author provides a brief historical overview of the development of AI concepts and a description of the operating principles of certain AI systems, specifically artificial neural networks. The author also proposes the ways to integrate AI and neural networks into forensic activities at both theoretical and practical levels.

Published: October 2024

Digital transformation plays a significant role in the implementation of forensic activities due to significant current expansion of the body of evidence based on study of combined computer information received in the course of legal proceedings. The key areas of forensic activity digital transformation are considered. It is shown that the sizes of special knowledge must obligatory cover a competent understanding of modern information technologies, their functionality and development dynamics as well as their effective use feasibility in forensic activities. The combination of systematic and integrated approaches representing various aspects of expert examination makes it possible to fully implement the principles of its objectivity, comprehensiveness and completeness as key principles of forensic activities. The need in setting up and implementation of strategic projects on improving forensic activities in the context of digital transformation determines the evolvement of digital transformation doctrine of forensic science as one of the theories of forensic expertology.

Rightsizing the 21st Century Theological Library Print Collection
Authors: Ladwig Laura
Published: October 2024

Natural sciences and humanities differ as disciplines in the types and age of material needed for research. Natural sciences require cutting edge, recent research while the humanities and social sciences utilize more dated material and primary sources. These differences consequently reflect different rightsizing criteria for the print collection. This article argues that similar differences exist in the disciplines represented in a theological library: systematic, historical, biblical studies, and practical theology, for example, and that these differences should be reflected in rightsizing decisions regarding the print collection. This article explores those rightsizing differences and delineates criteria for the biblical studies section in a theological print collection.
Production of Space
Authors: Ghulyan Husik
Published: October 2024

The theory of the production of space—conceived by French philosopher, sociologist, and Marxist intellectual Henri Lefebvre in the 1970s—is a complex yet influential theoretical construct in urban studies and human geography, as well as a significant theoretical intervention into Marxism (Brenner & Elden, 2009; Elden, 2001, 2004; Kipfer et al., 2013; Merrifield, 2013; Shields, 2013; Stanek, 2011). The theory was first elaborated by Lefebvre in the book of the same title published in French in 1974 (Lefebvre, 1974). Following the publication of the book’s English translation in 1991 (Lefebvre, 1991), it became more widely known, critically appraised, and made its way into many academic disciplines. Since then, much of the focus on the theory has been in the fields of geography, urban sociology, and cultural studies (Elden, 2001; Ghulyan, 2019). The production of space theory postulates that space is a social product (Lefebvre, 1991, pp. 26–27), appearing not solely as a passive backdrop or a container for individual or collective human activities; it is re-produced and re-shaped by social, economic, and political forces. Furthermore, it plays a crucial role in the reproduction of social relations and material orderings (Brenner, 2004; Soja, 1980). This approach to the relationships between society and space, social relations, and spatial forms is based on dialectical reasoning. Hence, the proposition is also framed as socio-spatial dialectic (Soja, 1980, 1989) or three-dimensional dialectic (Schmid, 2022). In line with the socio-spatial or three-dimensional dialectical logic, space can be understood as a process (Brenner, 2004; Schmid, 2022), a constant flux of material and non-material assemblages that are shaped by social, economic, or political forces—which in turn are reconstituted by these assemblages. In sum, space as a process is a constantly evolving set of relations. The other key proposition of the theory—closely related to the first one—is that since space is a social product, every society produces its own space. At its face very basic proposition, this has important implications for any Marxist—and thus dialectical materialist—interpretation of the world. With this proposition and the dialectical materialist approach to history, the production of space theory conceptualizes the production of space as consecutive stages of production of absolute, historical, abstract, and contradictory spaces (Boer, 2015; Schmid, 2022; Shields, 2005).

Authors: Herho Sandy , Anwar Iwan , Khadami Faruq , Putri Mutiara
Published: October 2024

This study presents a comprehensive statistical analysis of chlorophyll-a dynamics in Balikpapan Bay, Indonesia, combining time series analysis, extreme value modeling, and machine learning techniques to understand phytoplankton variability near Indonesia's planned new capital city. Analysis of daily chlorophyll-a concentrations (2019-2021) revealed a non-Gaussian distribution (skewness = 2.212, kurtosis = 10.160) ranging from 0.350 to 11.270 mg/m\textsuperscript{3}, with distinct seasonal patterns showing May maxima (2.110 mg/m\textsuperscript{3}) and July minima (1.340 mg/m\textsuperscript{3}). Block Maxima extreme value analysis identified 79 extreme events and fitted a Gumbel distribution (location $\mu$ = 2.924, scale $\sigma$ = 1.231, log-likelihood = -141.644), though notably failed to capture two major HAB events (11.270 and 10.430 mg/m\textsuperscript{3}). A WeightedEnsemble\_L2 model combining ExtraTreesMSE (0.462), CatBoost (0.346), and LightGBMXT (0.192) identified temperature (importance: 0.072, p $<$ 0.001), solar radiation (0.061, p = 0.002), and phosphate (0.047, p $<$ 0.001) as key drivers, achieving moderate performance (RMSE = 0.868 mg/m\textsuperscript{3}, R\textsuperscript{2} = 0.204). The trained model was serialized for potential operational deployment, providing crucial baseline data for HAB monitoring systems in this rapidly developing coastal region.
The role of memory in temporal discounting
Authors: Lempert Karolina Maria
Published: October 2024

A widely observed phenomenon in intertemporal choice is temporal discounting; people prefer to have rewards sooner rather than later, even if the delayed rewards are larger. Despite the universality of temporal discounting, people vary substantially in their temporal discounting rates, with some people being much more willing to wait for delayed rewards than others. What are the neurocognitive mechanisms underlying these individual differences? This chapter presents the field’s current understanding of the roles of major cognitive capacities (specifically: inhibitory control, episodic memory, and semantic memory) in determining temporal discounting rates. The chapter also argues that, whereas there are circumstances under which inhibitory control and episodic memory retrieval are deployed during intertemporal choice, semantic memory retrieval may actually be the key cognitive contributor to variability in intertemporal preferences. Inhibitory control is likely to be engaged during intertemporal choice when choices are especially difficult or high-stakes. Episodic retrieval is likely to be involved when people are cued to imagine the future before they make these choices. Neither of these processes appear to be necessary for future-oriented choice, however, and there is growing evidence that the structural integrity of the anterior temporal lobe – a hub for semantic memory – is associated with temporal discounting. More research is needed to test this theory and to understand the precise mechanism by which semantic memory supports future-oriented choice. Further research is also needed to test the generalizability of these conclusions to other kinds of intertemporal choices, such as those involving primary rewards, punishments, or temporal uncertainty.
Natural Language Network Psychometrics
Authors: Guenole Nigel
Published: October 2024

Network approaches model direct relationships between phenomena instead of assuming they are caused by common factors. The primary formats used are rating scales. We instead build networks from free text. We use simulations, generative AI, sentence encoders, and convex hulls. We did not recover the population network, raising many unanswered questions. We proposed a series of stages in natural language networks along which the impact of different choices might be examined for their effect on network parameter recovery. Convex hulls have the advantage that they scale embeddings to a common construct but it is also worth exploring fitting networks to free text response embeddings directly.

Today, Georgia strives to take a worthy place in the world, develop its economy, establish close business ties with some important countries and attract investments. In view of this, we consider it relevant to identify and analyze the archival materials relating to the experiences of our region in the field of business relations with other countries in the 20s of the twentieth century. The object of the study is the concession policy of Bolsheviks and how worked the concession institutions from a historical perspective. The purpose of this study to present the concession agreements as a mechanism for partnership between social, state and private elements, that ensured sustainable economic development of the TSFSR as a whole and of Georgia in particular. It is also important to research the emergence, development and abolition of concessions, as well as to bring to light the activities of central and local governments bodies. Economic review of concessions will make it possible to take into account the experience gained in the historical past when developing, adapting and introducing the modern forms of economic relations. The study of these experiences will inevitably be conducive to concessional ties with other countries at the current stage of economic development. Problem Identification. Studying the economic retrospective of concessions makes it possible to take into account previous experience when developing, adapting and implementing modern forms of economic cooperation. Studying this experience will facilitate the implementation of the concession cooperation plan at the current stage of economic development.
Coccidiose aviária: impactos e características da doença
Authors: Machado Nathália Borstmann , Pontin Karine Patrin
Published: October 2024

An excellent poultry production in the current national and international commercial scenario is directly related to adequate sanitary control since, in situations of improper management, chicks and adult chickens can be affected by several diseases, such as avian eimeriosis, caused by the obligate intracellular apicomplexan protist Eimeria spp., which generates numerous losses to agribusiness. Among the main species that cause economic impact on poultry farming, the species E. acervulina, E. maxima and E. tenella stand out, especially due to their high capacity for dissemination and severity of presentation. Sanitary measures to control coccidiosis such as rigorous cleaning of sheds and bedding, as well as the responsible use of anticoccidial drugs, require extensive planning and commitment on the part of producers. The objective of this study was to carry out a literature review on avian coccidiosis in order to better understand the characteristics of the agent and to relate the pathogenesis to the methods of diagnosis, control and prevention of the disease, since its impact is major.
Formação, psicanálise e patriarcado
Authors: Amorelli reinato Lorena
Published: October 2024

É corrente o apontamento de que o discurso analítico se organiza através de uma leitura misógina da sociedade e reitera práticas de violência e opressão. Diante disso, este artigo propõe debater a formação em psicanálise a partir das formações da cultura, mais especificamente, do patriarcado como ordem que rege as relações de dominação-exploração entre homens e mulheres. Busca-se, com isso, convocar os psicanalistas a aprofundar o debate sobre a formação em psicanálise, considerando-o a partir dos efeitos do discurso psicanalítico na civilização. Para tanto, utiliza-se o campo da psicanálise em extensão a fim de apresentar e analisar o caso May como relato de um percurso de formação.

Freud afirma que o psicótico ama seus delírios como a si mesmo. E Lacan afirma que o Eros do psicotizado se encontra onde sua fala está ausente. Allouch, no entanto, assegura que, na psicose, não se trata de uma neurose narcísica a qual impediria a transferência, mas sim, de saber como pode amar um psicótico. Abordando os conceitos de Eu-ideal e Ideal de Eu a proposta desse trabalho é atingir a constituição do sujeito que se dá pelo reconhecimento do outro, caracterizando a relação de amor referida ao quadro narcísico, mas não realizada no plano imaginário. Lacan refere-se a duas perspectivas no amor, uma, ao bem supremo, que ele chamou de amar-em-Deus e a que tem relação com o agalma, que ele chama de amar verdadeiramente. O que é o amor verdadeiro? Allouch afirma que foi Lacan quem fez transferência com Aimée. Lacan foi tocado pela falta de amor que se encontrava nela e foi fisgado pelo saber, saber de alguma coisa que estaria ali e que lhe provocou a pergunta: O que é o saber?
"Aperta o passo" ou "um passo de cada vez?"

O dispositivo do passe foi criado por Lacan a fim de manter sempre aberta a pergunta: o que é um psicanalista? Juntamente com o cartel, o passe sustenta o conceito de Escola. Nesse trabalho, abordo minha experiência como passadora, os efeitos da experiencia em minha relação com a Escola e, mais especificamente, abordo esse momento da análise pessoal em que uma passadora é designada: o “começo do fim”. Para tal, recorro ao livro “Cem anos de solidão” de Gabriel Garcia Marques. O artigo é uma tentativa de aproximar a obra de Gabo com a “Proposição de 9 de outubro de 1967”.
opção internacional
Authors: PINHO MIRIAM XIMENES
Published: October 2024

“Internacional” é uma opção que está na origem tanto do conjunto dos Fóruns quanto de nossa Escola cuja extensão é internacional: por que a opção pelo “internacional”? Qual seria a sua função? Perpassando brevemente a história do movimento psicanalítico, este estudo, produto de um cartel intercontinental, pretende refletir sobre o anseio (e, em alguns momentos, também temor) por uma comunidade “internacional”, presente na psicanálise desde Freud, a partir de três perspectivas: a opção internacional como garantia de duração, como anteparo aos abusos do Um e como anseio de ex-sistir.
The Role of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in Personalized Learning: A Case Study in K-12 Education
Authors: Sahito Zahid Hussain , Sahito Farzana Zahid , Imran Muhammad
Published: October 2024

This study investigated the mediating role of artificial intelligence (AI) in intensifying personalized learning in K-12 education by employing qualitative case research. The study examines how an AI deployed within a K-12 school changes the engagement, academic performance, and role of teachers through its implementation. Results show that AI tools lead to large improvements in student achievement through personalized learning paths, increased engagement, and the immediacy of feedback. Nevertheless, challenges including data privacy ponderings and the digital gap are significant insights for educators to consider as well. The report suggests guidelines for policymakers and practitioners to ensure the productive application of AI in personalized learning, including equal access to technology and continuous teacher upskilling.
Examining the Role of Women-Jirga in Mitigating Cultural Challenges Faced by Women: A Case Study of Khwendo-Jirga in Swat, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Pakistan Since 2013
Authors: Amjad Sana
Published: October 2024

In patriarchal societies, women have long faced dehumanization and victimization in areas such as education, healthcare, employment, and marriage, leading to deep cultural challenges. This research explores how women in Swat, Pakistan, established the Khwendo-Jirga (Sister’s Council) to challenge these cultural norms and secure their rights. By leveraging the existing power structures, these women created a platform to address the cultural challenges faced by others, challenging male-dominated discourses. The study employs qualitative content analysis based on interviews with Khwendo-Jirga activists and women who benefited from its decisions, alongside a review of secondary sources. It investigates the formation of the Khwendo-Jirga, the challenges it encountered, and its broader role in feminist discourse, particularly within Swat. The paper emphasizes the need for further research to amplify the voices of Pashtun women, whose struggles for agency and empowerment have often been overlooked.
Sustainability of External Debt in Developing Countries: An Empirical Evidence
Authors: Haroon Muhammad , Bhatti Arshad Ali
Published: October 2024

The paper attempts to investigate the issue of sustainability of external debt in developing countries for the period of 1980 to 2020. We have used the standard intertemporal approach of current account balance to examine the issue of external debt sustainability. The results of standard panel cointegration models reveal that external debt in developing countries is found to be sustainable for the given period since a strong cointegration between exports and imports is found in these countries. This cointegration between exports and imports necessarily implies that developing countries are satisfying their external constraint or the solvency condition which restricts them from lending or borrowing in international financial markets for indefinite time. Besides, strong cointegration also implies that developing countries are generating enough trade surpluses today which makes them unable to finance their future external debt thereby posing no issue for the sustainability of external debt.

These concepts unveil individual voices raised against the power structures and the Pueblo characters strategically respond towards the Western’s hegemony and syncretism. There is depiction of rebellion and adaptation through Subalternity and Strategic Essentialism respectively, by the Native Americans in the short story. Leon’s effort towards securing his traditional values and cultural practices, highlights struggle towards autonomy and preservation in the text. The story depicts the uncertainty of preservation and adaptation, as characters suggest to quench the thirst of the old man through Catholic’s Holy water. This paper discloses the harms committed by the Euro-Americans to the Native American culture and the Natives' efforts to preserve their culture and to survive under the oppressive regime.
Surah Al-Fatiha as an Abstract/Preface of the Holy Quran: A Linguistic Perspective
Authors: Abdullah Muhammad , Maryam Naila
Published: October 2024

In the tradition of writing, multiple genres have matured enough and carry universal standardization. Most captivatingly, the universal standard has been ideally reflected in the text of the Holy Quran. The study in hand highlights the linguistic excellence of a very small but complete genre known as abstract. It plays highly significant role in the promotion of a research paper, article, thesis or project. In the tradition of book writing, it is replaced with preface. The Holy Quran is known as word of Allah Almighty. It was revealed to the last and final messenger Hazrat Muhammad (SAW). This may be claimed as the only ideal book on the face of Erath. Present study is meant to highlight Surah Al-Fatiha as an ideal abstract through linguistic analysis and interpretation. The discussion and findings of the study may help the researchers to write a better abstract/preface.
