TRANSGENDER SHARIA, LEGAL AND SOCIAL STATUS
Authors: Dr. Muhammad Rashid Khan  , Ms. Asma Perveen
Published: July 2024

Transgender is a modern Western term. The word "Transgender" is a combination of two words. Trans means "to move" or "to change", while gender means "sex". The following definition is taken from a United Nations document. A Men or women who deviate from their birth sexual identity and convert their gender Identity. For example, they want to be male or contradictory from a woman, or to be a woman or a male or contradictory or non -sexually man or adopt another modern identity. Some of them resort to medical procedures such as hormone therapy or surgery. They are also called transsexual. And some of them only express gender expression different from their birth gender, i.e., they change shape, cell, clothes, and features. They are also called Cross Dresser. Transgender laws around the world are not designed to protect people who are born transgender or intersex. Because they are born in the same condition medically and physically and statistically their number is very less. In the developed world they do not have the same problems that we have here. Transgender laws in the developed world are designed to protect those who voluntarily change their gender and are not limited to gender choice but extend to sexual orientation. Therefore, homosexuality with transgender is given full protection in the western world. Transgender law, if it is made absolute without including the necessary and Sharia fiefs, is a collection of many forbidden (haram) acts and Islam never allows any Islamic government to implement any such law in its country, rather, implementing and supporting any such law is strictly illegal and forbidden and is a deed that leads to hell.
MUSLIM POLITICAL THOUGHT SINCE COLLAPSE OF OTTAWA UNTIL NOW
Authors: Dr. Syed Zakir Shah  , Syed Asim Ali
Published: July 2024

This study shows how the  miserable political conditions of Muslim ummah  were across Muslim world ,after the end of first world war with the collapse of Ottoman Caliphate. This also proves the indispensability of the  institution of caliphicate for the unity of  the Muslim and their prosperity. In the context of political downfall of Ottomans, the western powers destroyed the unity of Muslims by inventing new terminology of Muslim nations. Not only in the Muslim world but even in the Arab world racial, linguistic and parochial prejudice has been inculcated in the minds and hearts of Muslim towards each other. This  turmoil situation is evident from the terrible clashes of Arabs with Turks and between East and West Pakistan Bengalis v/s west Pakistanis. However, in this political turmoil Muslim thinkers came forward and tried to regenerate the Muslim ummah and to re establish an Islamic state which could protect muslim from  being destroying, most important among them are, Allama Muhammad Iqbal, maulana Abul’ kalam Azad, Syed Abu al ala Maulana Modoodi,and Dr.Israr Ahmed.A brief description of their work has been discussed in this article.
FRONTISPIECES OF QURAN MANUSCRIPTS: THE SIGNIFICANT FEATURE OF ARABESQUE PATTERN IN ILLUMINATED QUR'AN MANUSCRIPTS FROM THE 16TH TO 18TH CENTURY
Authors: Saima Syed
Published: July 2024

This study would evaluate the manuscript's design (organic and geometric), its significance, and its relevance to Islamic art and how it is proven to be a good example of visual art. A visual design is a combination of lines, textures, and colours. The creation of design depends upon the emergence of different types of lines. The development of this creative activity is associated with the evolution of the civilizations of mankind as well. Initially, the orientation of lines was used for communication and then for beautification. In this study, the specimen of Illuminated Qur'an manuscripts (16th century -18th century) has been collected from Ganjbkhsh library Islamabad (GBL) and Qatar national library. This study is conducted under the framework of physical analysis with the help of Artificial intelligence, a comparative analysis of Arabesque's typology and its attributes during the 16th to 18th century. In total, 542 images from 96 Qur'an manuscripts of GBL and 28 images from the 5 illuminated manuscripts of the Qur’an of the Qatar National library are included in this study. GBL data has been organized chronologically, as 30 manuscripts are from the 16th century, 24 from the 17th century and 42 from the 18th century whereas Qatar national library data has no defined chronological order.

Published: July 2024

Mawlānā Syed Abul A ‘ala Mawdudi was one of the great thinkers of the Muslim world. He lived and worked for the religious cause of Islam during 20th century. He studied all the religious sciences of Islam in depth, and presented a comprehensive interpretation of Islam encompassing all the facets of the society. Moreover, he was abundantly cognizant about the socio-political atmosphere of the Muslim world on one hand, and on the other hand, he had full knowledge about the challenges confronting by the Muslims from Western civilization, especially the influence of Western educational methodology and system. So, accordingly he deliberated over the issues and initiated the religious activities, and produced an extensive scale of literature on Islam, and apprised the Muslims from imminent challenges. He took apposite steps to immune the religious legacy of the Muslims, and to pull out them from situation of daze. Therefore, this study will focus on his approach towards Western civilization and education by applying analytical and critical methods.
A Bottom-Up Liquid Chromatography–Tandem Mass Spectrometry Method for Therapeutic Drug Monitoring of Infliximab: Method Development, Comparison With 2 Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assay Methods, and Evaluation of Anti-Drug Antibody Interference
Authors: Kim Sang-Mi , Oh Hyeonju , Hong Sung Noh , Kim Mi Jin , Choe Yon Ho , Lee Soo-Youn
Published: July 2024

Context.—

Therapeutic drug monitoring is recommended to optimize infliximab use and improve outcome in chronic inflammatory disorders.

Objective.—

To describe a simple and affordable liquid chromatography–tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) method to measure inﬂiximab in serum.

Design.—

Infliximab was measured using winged stable isotope–labeled peptides as internal standards. Linearity, lower limit of measuring interval, limit of detection, precision, accuracy, carryover, and ion suppression were evaluated. Method comparison against 2 enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) methods (Remsima Monitor and IDKmonitor Infliximab) and anti-drug antibody (ADA) interference were evaluated using clinical specimens from inflammatory bowel disease patients (N = 237).

Results.—

Analytical run time and sample preparation time were 5 minutes per sample and 3 hours per batch, respectively. Analytical measurement interval and limit of detection were 0.50 to 50.0 μg/mL (R2 = 0.998) and 0.25 μg/mL, respectively. The intraday and interday imprecision percentage coefficients of variation were less than 6.1%. Accuracy was 94.2% to 98.7%. No significant ion suppression or carryover was observed. Infliximab concentrations measured by LC-MS/MS showed good agreement with those measured by Remsima Monitor (mean percentage difference, 5.7%; 95% CI, −1.2% to 12.6%) but were markedly lower than those measured by IDKmonitor (−32.6%; −35.8% to −29.4%), demonstrating significant bias between ELISAs. Although a good agreement between LC-MS/MS and ELISA was observed for ADA-negative samples (−3.5%; −12.8% to 5.9%), a significant bias was observed for ADA-positive samples (13.6%; 1.7% to 25.6%).

Conclusions.—

This simple, fast, and affordable LC-MS/MS method for inﬂiximab quantitation could improve standardization of infliximab quantitation and optimization of infliximab use in patients with high-titer ADA.
Reshaping Librarianship as a Career through Professional Certification
Authors: Rifai Agus , Ismayati Nita
Published: July 2024

Compared to other professionals, librarians in Indonesia are less recognized as belonging to a profession. Rather than information professionals, librarians in Indonesia are seen as technical, clerical, and administrative staff. This paper discusses the implementation of a professional certification program to build and strengthen librarianship as a professional career in Indonesia. A questionnaire survey was administered to 60 library stakeholders to determine their perceptions of professional library certification. The study finds that the certification strategically reshapes librarians' professionalism by assessing their competencies. Through accreditation, professional librarians' competencies are measured and accounted for by performing specific library tasks that will affect library services.

Visual significations of Monkey King: Hero is Back and Nezha: Birth of the Demon Child
Authors: Fang Zhen ,   Taylor's University, Malaysia, Mansor Noraien ,   Qingdao Film Academy, China,   Taylor's University, Malaysia
Published: July 2024

Visual signs can be differentiated into denotative and connotative messages, where denotative messages form the perceptual foundation of an image, and connotative messages engage with a deeper, culturally cognisant layer, imbued with subjective interpretations and aesthetic significations. This study embarks on a qualitative textual analysis with the main aim to elucidate the connotation and denotation of visual significations in two pivotal Chinese animated films, Monkey King: Hero is Back and Nezha: Birth of the Demon Child. Guided by Roland Barthes’ Semiotic theory and Chen’s study, the research delves into the connotative and denotative meanings embodied in the films’ visual elements. The focus is primarily on facial design, physical appearance, clothing, and props, providing a comparative analysis of how these elements function within each film’s narrative framework. The key findings reveal that the visual significations in both films are not merely aesthetic choices but serve as substantial cultural and narrative tools. The characters’ faces, physical appearances, clothing, and props are intricately tied to themes like Chinese opera masks, subversive reconstructions, natural elements, and intangible cultural heritage. These visual cues play a crucial role in reinforcing cultural heritage, spurring innovation, invoking nature reverence, and bolstering national sentiment within film storytelling. Contrasting with previous research that predominantly focused on characters, this study expands the analytical scope to include props, recognising their significance as visual signs in animation. By expanding the analysis to include props alongside characters and visual elements into the analysis, this research offers a more comprehensive and nuanced understanding of Chinese mythological animations. It enriches the academic discourse on animation studies, demonstrating how visual elements can profoundly influence narrative interpretation and cultural representation. The research affirms the cultural and narrative potency of visual signification in animation and underscores the dynamic interplay between tradition and innovation within the realm of Chinese animated films.

Authors: Kırdar İlknur , Peksoy Kaya Sibel
Published: July 2024

Emzirme ve anne sütü bebek ve çocuk ölümlerini azaltan en önemli faktörlerden biridir. Emzirmenin anne ve bebek için birçok faydası bulunmaktadır. Bununla birlikte, emzirmenin başlatılması ve emzirmenin sürdürülmesi Dünya’da ve ülkemizde istenilen düzeyde değildir. Dünya Sağlık Örgütü ve Birleşmiş Milletler Çocuklara Yardım Fonu’nun öncülük ettiği “Küresel Emzirme Ortaklığı” karnesine göre, Dünya’da emzirme açısından tavsiye edilen standartlara tam olarak uyan hiçbir ülke bulunmamaktadır. Ülkemizde altı aydan küçük bebeklerin %41’i sadece anne sütüyle beslenmektedir. Küresel olarak bu oran %48’dir. Anne sütü ile besleme ve emzirme oranlarının istenilen düzeyde olmaması çeşitli faktörlerden etkilenmektedir. Bebeğin yaş dönemlerine göre etkili olan faktörler açısından özellikle neonatal dönemde yaşanan emzirme sorunları dikkat çekmektedir. Bununla birlikte anne sütü ile besleme oranlarının düşük olması ve emzirme sorunları bireysel, sosyal ve kültürel faktörlerle de yakından ilişkilidir. Bireysel faktörler açısından; annenin yaşı, medeni durumu, eğitim düzeyi, gelir düzeyi, emzirme deneyimi, çalışma durumu, bebek besleme tutumu, öz-yeterlilik algısı, planlı gebelik durumu, bebeğin cinsiyeti, doğum şekli, meme sorunları ve ruhsal sorunlar dikkat çekmektedir. Sosyal ve kültürel faktörler açısından; emzirme politikaları, emzirme ile ilgili mitler, emzirme eğitimi, sosyal destek alma ve kamusal alanda emzirmeye ilişkin tabular dikkat çekicidir. Her bir faktörün emzirme üzerinde olumlu ve/veya olumsuz bir etkisi olmakla birlikte faktörler çoğunlukla birbiriyle ilişkilidir. Emzirme sürecinde bu faktörler doğrultusunda, hemşirelerin ve ebelerin emzirmenin desteklenmesinde, başlatılmasında ve sürdürülmesinde önemli sorumlulukları bulunmaktadır. Bu derleme, annelerin yaşadığı emzirme sorunlarına yönelik kavram haritasıyla bütüncül bir şekilde incelenmesi amacıyla hazırlanmıştır.

Communication between nurses and the elderly: Present and future
Authors: Stojanović Goran , Vasiljević-Blagojević Milica , Terzić Negra , Krstić Jelena , Vlaisavljević Željko , Stojanović Dušan
Published: July 2024

The World Health Organization (WHO) has defined communication quality as one of the five essential skills for a healthy and happy life. Quality communication is particularly important in healthcare, especially for those who have communication difficulties, the majority of whom are elderly. Communication problems among older adults range from those seeking to prevent the development of communication difficulties to those who already experience challenges such as dysarthria, aphasia, and hearing loss. This study aimed to examine the problems in communication between nurses and the elderly. We searched the PubMed and Embase databases using the keywords: "communication," "adults," "elderly," and "nurses." The findings suggest that nurses' assistance to the elderly in overcoming communication problems is crucial. It is important to understand the specifics of communication, the basic communication rules with the elderly, and the problems older adults face in conducting communication adequately. The findings support the idea that nurses can significantly help overcome communication barriers by choosing appropriate strategies, such as repetition, noise elimination, and environmental control, especially in addressing sensory issues. To improve communication between nurses and older adults, it is necessary to assess all communication barriers, prejudices, beliefs, fears, and the identity of the elderly. Some studies suggest new research topics, revealing that screening to assess sensory functions in the elderly is insufficiently applied and that practical activities within the care of the elderly with sensory impairment are not always utilized. Changing such nursing practices would greatly improve communication and the quality of care for the elderly.
Prevalence of oral mucosal lesions among the institutionalized elderly people
Authors: Petrovski Mihajlo
Published: July 2024

Background: The presence of mucosal changes and variations is quite high among institutionalized adults. Aim: The present study aimed to determine the prevalence of oral mucosal changes among the institutionalized elderly. Material and method: The presented data originate from research done in the period from May-July 2018 in "Mother Teresa" nursing home in Skopje, Republic of North Macedonia. The investigation included a total number of 70 subjects older than 65 years and it was focused on the presence of mucosal changes. In describing the changes in oral mucosa we have used two differentiated termslesion or pathological change and variation from normal. Results: During the examination of the prevalence of oral mucosal lesions we have found that all the subjects have at least one oral change in their oral cavity. The average number of oral changes among the examined institutionalized elderly is 2,24 ± 0,69. Total number of diagnosed changes on oral mucosa among all 70 subjects was 157. In the group of normal mucosa, variations dominate status fordyce (35.71 %) and coated tongue (28,57%). In the group of pathological changes, there is a domination of the lesions associated with the wearing of prosthetic devices-ulcerous changes caused by the prosthetic devices (15.71%) and stomatitis protetica (10%). Conclusion: In the investigated population, there is a one hundred percent presence of oral changes. Most of them are variations of the oral mucosa. But more important pathological lesions are those associated with wearing prosthetic devices. Also, it is very important to stress that pathological lesions require constant monitoring.
A review of recent advances in paediatric dentistry
Authors: Dimkov Aleksandar
Published: July 2024

Introduction: As a result of developments in technology, materials, and illness knowledge, paediatric dentistry has experienced major changes. When dealing with children, comfort, speed, safety, and conservative therapies are paramount. Of course, this also applies to adults, but getting youngsters started with dental appointments and making the experience stress-free for both patients and parents is extremely vital. The introduction and use of new technology caused a paradigm change in the practice of dentistry. This has been marked by the development of new and superior restorative materials that allow us to remove less tooth structure. We have now achieved the therapeutic goals discovered in giving more minimally invasive dentistry. Early dental diagnosis has become increasingly important in recent years. Early detection of dental caries has grown in relevance in recent years as conservative dentistry has remained at the forefront. The dentist should emphasize early identification of dental caries and the least invasive treatment alternatives, especially in paediatric patients. Traditional caries detection methods frequently miss early enamel lesions that have not developed into cavitation. As a result, several innovative strategies for detecting cavities early have been developed. Aim: The purpose of the current literature is to provide broad information regarding new restorative materials and caries detection technologies and summarize recent advances in paediatric dentistry. Conclusion: This overview highlighted a huge variety of current equipment that is either now used or can be utilized in dental diagnostics. Some of these devices are rather pricey and take up a lot of room. Technology evolves so quickly that it is impossible to stay up. As a result, possibly the best answer for each pedodontist or pedodontics clinic is to select the equipment with the greatest cost benefit.

Authors: Alibek Ibraim , Bakhyt Absadykov , Troha Sanjin , Marković Kristina , Vrcan Željko
Published: July 2024

This article deals with the research and analysis of electric motors and their matched transmission systems within the context of a versatile electric mini-tractor designed for tasks such as street cleaning, urban park maintenance, and transportation of small loads. The primary objective of the research is to assess the strengths and weaknesses of several electric motor and transmission combinations designed to meet the specific operational demands of the tractor. As the driveline has to provide substantial torque while maintaining optimal operating conditions and avoiding overheating, a series of experiments were conducted, covering various electric motor configurations operating within the 60V range, with power outputs ranging from 1000 to 1500 watts and including multiple gearbox variations. A comparative analysis was performed to assess the advantages and disadvantages of direct chain drive transmission solutions without a differential on a rigid axle, in contrast to a sealed motor-gearbox unit featuring differential and semi-axles. The results of this research were used for mathematical comparison of the driveline solutions, enabling the detection of optimally matched transmission and motor solutions. The experiments also covered the identification of energy-efficient solutions and optimal design parameters for an electric tractor explicitly designed for continuous operation exceeding 10 hours, with cargo capacity exceeding 500 kg, high off-road maneuverability, and a service life exceeding 5000 hours. The dynamic tests carried out during the research have provided valuable insight into the relation of the overall power efficiency of the vehicle to the weight and transmission ratio variations.

Authors: Zrinej Samiha , Laghzale Nor-Eddine , Bouzid Abdel-Hakim
Published: July 2024

This paper addresses the stress analysis of shrink-fitted thick-walled cylinders made of functionally graded material (FGM). Analytical solutions are provided for the elastic-plastic behavior of shrink-fitted axisymmetric thick-walled FGM cylinders based on the linear plane elasticity theory and plasticity laws. Due to the material's functional gradation, mechanical characteristics like Young's modulus, yield stress, and plastic parameters are controlled by a power function along the wall thickness. Considering a plane strain case, elastic-perfectly plastic model and Von Mises yield criterion; theoretical solutions are obtained for both elastic and plastic phases. The radial, hoop, axial, and equivalent Von Mises stresses are obtained for up to 25%, 50%, and 75% of cylinder plasticization for the elastic and plastic zones. Stresses are given in terms of interference and geometrical and mechanical parameters of the assembly. In addition, the interferences to start plastic deformation and the full plastic collapse of the cylinder are discussed. Moreover, the effect of the gradient index on the contact pressure and both the start of yield and plastic collapse pressures are conducted. The analytical results found in the current research are compared with the numerical solutions carried out by Ansys Workbench. Both results show a good agreement.
About uniformly Menger spaces
Authors: Kanetov Bekbolot , Kanetova Dinara , Baidzhuranova Anara
Published: July 2024

Precompact type properties - precompactness (=totally precompactness), s-precompactness, pre-Lindelöfness, (=ℵ0-boundedness), t -boundedness - belong to the basic important invariants studied in the uniform topology. The theory of these invariants is wide and continues to develop. However, in a sense, the class of uniformly Menger spaces escaped the attention of researchers. Lj.D.R. Kočinac was the first who introduced and studied the class of uniformly Menger spaces in [3, 4]. It immediately follows from the definition that the class of uniformly Menger spaces lies between the class of precompact uniform spaces and the class of pre-Lindelöf uniform spaces. Therefore, we expect it to have many good properties. In this paper some important properties of the uniformly Menger spaces are investigated. In particular, it is established that under uniformly perfect mappings, the uniformly Menger property is preserved both in the image and the preimage direction.

Authors: Nilanto Md
Published: July 2024

In denim washing industry pumice stone is a very popular material in enzyme or jumping process. Pumice stone is less costly and that's the only reason behind it's higher application. But pumice stone creates more sludge in ETP & requires more water in process which is not sustainable. Also for usage of pumice stone there is a higher possibility of damage issue in case of very light wash. In this study Eco Stone were used instead of Pumice stone to observe it's all kinds of outcome against Pumice stone with its sustainability. Because Eco stone require less water and create less sludge as its corrosion is lesser than Pumice stone. And for its smooth surface the possibility of physical damage of garments is lower.

Factors Affecting Borehole Water Project Sustainability in Dodoma, Tanzania: A case of Nghong'onha ward
Authors: Ugulumu Ester , Macha Laura , Fuime Stephen
Published: July 2024

Access to a clean, safe, and affordable water supply for domestic use is a fundamental human right. However, in many urban areas in sub-Saharan African countries, including Tanzania, not all people have access to water due to the operation, maintenance, and sustainability challenges of the built infrastructure. This study assessed factors affecting the sustainability of the Borehole water project in Dodoma Region, taking a case of Nghong'onha ward in the City Council of Dodoma. Specifically, the study focused on household water use practices and examined the factors affecting the sustainability of borehole water projects. The study used both primary and secondary data of a quantitative and qualitative nature collected through interviews, observations, and a documentary review. This study employed probability and non-probability sampling techniques to select a sample of respondents and key informants. The collected data were analysed for descriptive statistics such as frequencies and means and binary logistic regression analysis, whereas qualitative data were analysed using the qualitative content analysis technique. The study found that, on average, households consumed 82.27 litres of water daily, and 47.5% of respondents had to wait for 31–45 minutes to fetch water at the water point. Furthermore, findings revealed that community meetings (0.000), distance to water points (0.000), water facility spare parts availability (0.054), payment modality (0.023), and annual maintenance (0.011) significantly affected borehole water project sustainability. The study recommends that interventions to improve access to domestic water supply in the study area should focus on improving water supply infrastructure and the built infrastructure's operation, maintenance, and sustainability.
An Overview of Acupuncture Dosage in Veterinary Medicine
Authors: Xie Huisheng
Published: July 2024

Acupuncture is subject to dosage considerations, similar to pharmaceuticals, that significantly influence therapeutic outcomes. In instances where the initial diagnosis is confirmed to be accurate, and results are suboptimal, consideration should be given to augmenting the acupuncture dosage and technique used. Veterinary acupuncture dosage includes size of acupuncture needles, depth of needle insertion, frequency/duration of the treatments, and type of acupuncture technique used. Larger needle size generates stronger stimulation and studies indicate that acupuncture points can have specific effects on the body based on depth of stimulation (i.e. length of needle). Optimal therapy also depends on the frequency of treatment and will vary dependent on the clinical condition and acupuncture technique. In cases where clinical improvements remain absent after 4-6 sessions of dry needle acupuncture therapy, it is prudent to reevaluate both conventional and TCVM diagnoses, as well as acupuncture dosage. Adjustments in acupuncture dosage can include the use of longer needles, the incorporation of additional acupoints or the addition of other needle stimulation techniques. The use of advanced acupuncture modalities, such as electro-acupuncture, aqua-acupuncture, acupoint embedding and scalp acupuncture, may significantly enhance therapeutic efficacy. This paper aims to explore and elucidate the various factors influencing the dosage of acupuncture in a variety of species across ten commonly used acupuncture techniques, thereby providing insights into how they can be optimized to enhance treatment efficacy.

Nach den vielbeachteten Entscheidungen des Internationalen Gerichtshofs (IGH) über einstweilige Anordnungen im Gaza-Konflikt erweckte das Gutachten vom 19. Juli 2024 zur Illegalität der israelischen Besatzung ein verhältnismäßig geringes Medienecho. Dies steht im eklatanten Gegensatz zu seinem Inhalt. Der internationale Gerichtshof bewertete nämlich kurzerhand die gesamte israelische Besatzung des palästinensischen Gebiets, einschließlich Gaza, für rechtswidrig. Dies dürfte erhebliche völkerrechtliche, völkerrechtspolitische, geopolitische und erinnerungspolitische Konsequenzen nach sich ziehen.
The Image of Mafraq in the Geographers' and Travelers' Books and the Books of the Stations of Pilgrimage. (Since the Umayyad Era till the End of the Ottoman Era)
Authors: Al-Rawadieh Al-Mahdi
Published: July 2024

The cities and places located on the route of the pilgrims of the Levant were taken care of by Arab and Muslim geographers and travelers, their blogs included a description of their geographical nature and general conditions in terms of water resources and the availability of food, the fodder necessary to feed the animals, and the state of the roads that penetrate or pass next to it in terms of security and difficulty of passage and other things that the traveler should beware of such as thieves and bandits. The books of the pilgrimage also included brief statements aimed at serving the pilgrim and informing him of the route of the road and the conditions of the places located on it.
      Mafraq (its ancient name: Al-Faddain) occupied an important place before Islam by being located on the ancient Sultanic road (Trajan's road).

The Restrictions Imposed on the Procedures for Amending the Constitution in the United Arab Emirates (A Comparative Study)
Authors: Al Ansari Talal , Dallah Sam
Published: July 2024

The research aimed to identify the motives for amending the constitution, clarify the authority responsible for amendment and its scope, define the concept of amending the constitution and its motives, and the restrictions imposed on the procedures for amending the constitution in the United Arab Emirates. The research relied on the comparative analytical approach, by analyzing what the rules stipulated in the federal constitutional system in The United Arab Emirates, as well as the comparative constitutional systems. The research reached several results, the most important of which is that the federal constitution in the UAE falls within the framework of rigid constitutions, and that its rigidity is relative and not absolute. This is due to the fact that all of its provisions are subject to amendment, and there is no text in the UAE constitution that prohibits amending some of its provisions permanently or during a specific period of time. Therefore, it is permissible to amend the provisions of the UAE Constitution by following special procedures stipulated in the Constitution that differ from those by which ordinary laws and legislation are amended. Among these procedures is that the proposal to amend the constitution falls within the jurisdiction of the Supreme Council of the Federation. Accordingly, the research recommended that the procedures for amending the constitution in the UAE should not begin except after a broad and in-depth discussion, meaning that the amendments should not be limited to a specific number of individuals, and citizens should be given an opportunity to express their opinion before starting the amendment.

Published: July 2024

This research aims to understand the challenges and solutions faced by young adults experiencing a quarter-life crisis (QLC) from a social psychology perspective.  The method used is a case study involving individuals aged 20-30 years.  The results show that QLC is a period of significant crisis, characterized by uncertainty and anxiety regarding career, interpersonal relationships, and self-identity.  The main causal factors include social pressure, comparison of oneself with others, and family and environmental expectations.  The psychological impacts that arise include feelings of being trapped, anxiety, and depression, which affect an individual's mental and emotional well-being.  This research identified four main stages in QLC: feelings of being trapped, the urge to change the situation, efforts to rebuild life, and finally achieving control and life satisfaction.  Effective solutions to overcome QLC include psychological interventions such as solution-focused therapy, limiting social media use, and developing a strong social support network.  Better self-understanding and focusing on concrete actions are also important strategies in dealing with uncertainty and anxiety during this period.  This research provides important insights for psychology practitioners and individuals facing QLC, and emphasizes the need for interventions tailored to each individual's specific needs.  With the right support, individuals can manage QLC more effectively and achieve a more stable and fulfilling life.

This study aims to examine the effect of giving fairy tales on the emotional regulation of kindergarten-aged children. The research method used was pre-experimental with a quantitative approach. The research subjects were children aged 4-6 years at the UNP Padang Laboratory Development Kindergarten. The treatment in the form of giving fairy tales was carried out for 4 consecutive days, with pre-test measurements before treatment and post-test after treatment. The data collection instrument uses a Likert scale formulated positively and negatively to measure children's emotional regulation. The results of the study showed that there was significant development in children's emotional regulation after receiving treatment in the form of giving fairy tales. This can be seen from the difference in pre-test and post-test results which show an increase in scores on the Likert scale. Evaluation of children's emotions is carried out after each storytelling session to monitor the development of their emotional regulation. Researchers also gave rewards to children as a form of appreciation for their participation in the research. This research contributes to the understanding of the influence of fairy tales on the emotional regulation of kindergarten-aged children. The implication of this research is the importance of paying attention to environmental factors and learning methods that can influence children's emotional development. It is hoped that the results of this research can become a basis for developing better educational programs to improve emotional regulation in early childhood.

. Sex role classification in adolescents can have a significant impact on their development and well-being. While this classification can provide a framework for understanding gender identity, it can also limit possibilities for exploration and result in high conformity pressure. Adolescents may feel bound to narrow gender stereotypes, causing restrictions in self-expression and opportunities available to them. Impacts include increased risk of mental disorders, discrimination and stigma. To facilitate positive growth, it is important for society to recognize and support the diversity of gender identities, and provide space for adolescents to explore their interests, talents and aspirations without the restrictions imposed by gender stereotypes.
