A Modern Annuity for Canada: Concrete Reconciliation
Authors: Mason Gregory , Jones Sheilla , Helgason Wayne
Published: April 2022

Canada's history features many commercial compacts, agreements, and treaties marking the evolution of the relations between Indigenous Peoples and Settlers. The treaties negotiated between 1850 and 1921 comprised three main elements: the allocation of land for the exclusive use of the signatory First Nations; preservation of hunting and fishing rights; and an individual annuity paid to each band member, plus a one-time payment made to the band. The individual annuity was minimal, even in the later 19th century, and has remained unchanged since 1878. This paper explores the rationale, design, implementation, and cost of a Modern Annuity as the concrete measure for reconciliation, acknowledging the value of the land ceded to Canada by the Indigenous peoples.

Indigenous Business Support Services: A Case Study of the Quebec Entrepreneurial Ecosystem in Canada
Authors: Fortin-Lefebvre Emilie , Baba Sofiane
Published: April 2022

Support services - also known as accompaniment practices and advisory services - are essential for the development of small businesses. In terms of support services specific to Indigenous businesses, the literature is rather silent. Yet, one can expect that the recent and growing market-related entrepreneurial trend in Indigenous communities will generate increasing accompaniment needs in those contexts. The objective of this research is to better understand the entrepreneurial ecosystem and its current synergy, as well as identifying the challenges of Indigenous entrepreneurship. To do so we rely on a qualitative methodological approach, focusing on the Indigenous entrepreneurial ecosystem in Quebec, Canada. Overall, our research highlights the need to adapt support services to Indigenous-related entrepreneurial issues. This research paves the way for a broader discussion related to how local governments, economic development organizations, funding agencies, and business support services organizations can work together for a comprehensive economic development strategy within Indigenous contexts.
Building Better Together: Exploring Indigenous Economic Development in New Brunswick Report
Authors: Foley Tyler
Published: April 2022

This project, titled "Building Better Together: Exploring Indigenous Economic Development in New Brunswick", sought to ask: What does Indigenous economic development mean to Indigenous Peoples living in New Brunswick? In doing so, it attempts to identify obstacles, opportunities, and priorities to achieve these development goals. With support from an Indigenous Research Capacity and Reconciliation Connection Grant from the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council (SSHRC), this project brought together 130 frontline representatives from Indigenous communities, organizations, and businesses with those from academia and relevant provincial and federal departments for a Mawi'omi (meaning 'gathering' in Mi'kmaq) in May 2019 to explore these questions. In large part, this initiative validates previous research on Indigenous economic development specifically, and Indigenous development more broadly. A majority of the participants identified that self-sufficiency and self-sustainability for Indigenous communities were the most important factors for successful community development, with long-term stability the second most important factor. Three factors were tied for third: revitalizing language and culture, providing employment and training opportunities to members, and improving community wellness and cohesion. Key priorities for economic development were the creation of employment opportunities and the development of workforce skills, as well as the development of lands and infrastructure for economic development, while key opportunities were the cannabis, tourism, natural resources, and renewable resource sector. And finally, key challenges to the pursuit of Indigenous economic development were financing, human resources, and social issues. Throughout the event, participants also emphasized the need for more meaningful and respectful relations with government and the private sector. Resulting from this research, several recommendations were identified that support the findings above. These recommendations target three main groups: to SSHRC, continue to offer annual grants specifically for Indigenous communities and organizations, to support the creation of diverse research products relating to Indigenous economic development, and to create or support a platform to share information and resources relating to Indigenous economic development; to the federal government, increase funding for economic development for First Nation communities and Indigenous organizations; to the provincial government, create a task force to increase the inclusion of First Nation communities and Indigenous Peoples in the tourism, cannabis, natural resource, and renewable energy sectors; and to First Nation Communities in New Brunswick: develop strategies to support self-determination, self-sufficiency, and economic development.

TRAJECTORIES OF RSS IDEOLOGICAL DOMINATION IN THE INDIAN POLICY MAKING: IMPLICATIONS FOR SOUTH ASIA
Authors: Islam Muhammad Javed , Zulfqar Khan
Published: April 2022

It is argued by policymakers and practitioners that instability in South Asia has exacerbated since Bharatiya Janata Party’s (BJP) coming into power in India. Its policymaking is impacted by the influence of Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS). BJP is known as the political brand-name of RSS. There is a perceptible increase in RSS expansion and dominance of Hindutva ideology in domestic, foreign, and security policies of India. RSS is following the grand policy of greater India with the establishment of Hindu hegemony in India and Hindustan’s (India’s) hegemony in South Asia. Empirical evidence suggests that a well-choreographed use of communal violence and Pakistan bashing have been employed by BJP for the attainment of its objectives. BJP’s revoking of Articles 370 and 35-A to forcibly absorb Indian Occupied Kashmir and enactment of Citizen Amendment Act are the most recent manifestation of RSS long-term design. Following the mixed research method, this paper will be developed around the central argument that the rise of RSS influence on Indian policymaking has impacted its domestic and external policies which bear implications for South Asia.

EXPLAINING JAMMU AND KASHMIR CONFLICT UNDER INDIAN ILLEGAL OCCUPATION: PAST AND PRESENT
Authors: Malik Salma , Akhtar Nasreen
Published: April 2022

The Jammu and Kashmir conflict remains one of the oldest UN agenda items. However, despite the genuine plight and legitimate demand for the right to self-determination, Kashmiris in Indian Illegally Occupied Jammu and Kashmir continue to struggle for their lives and livelihood under Indian oppression and state-sponsored terrorism without respite. This paper, therefore, attempts to glean into the history of the conflict, which has a strong connection with the contemporary situation, while answering important questions: What circumstances compelled people to rush to Kashmir soon after the independence? How has India, over the decades, interpreted, misinterpreted, and manipulated world opinion in its favour? Why and how have the Muslim world and international community shown apathy towards the beleaguered Kashmiris? Lastly, can there be a way forward, especially after India’s illegal annexation of the UN declared disputed territory? It also highlights options available for a plausible solution to this humanitarian issue.

EVOLVING NATURE OF PAK-SAUDI RELATIONSHIP
Authors: Khan Muhammad , Khan Sidra
Published: April 2022

Pak–Saudi relations are exclusive, cordial, and strategic. The elementary features of this exceptional relationship are strong religious affinity, bilateral resolve, assured support, and pragmatism. This resilient and all-weather relationship started much before the Kingdom became oil-rich. Since the beginning of the 1950s, Pak-Saudi relations have been witnessing an upward trajectory in all diplomatic fields, including political, economic, social, and strategic cooperation. While attaining dynamism in their bilateral relationship, both countries urge more exclusivity, steadiness, and perpetuity in their relations as reinforcing factors. The role of national institutions of both countries has been commendable in evolving and consolidating their traditional bondage. This paper, therefore, underlines the need that despite changes in the regional and global geopolitical situations, both countries must extend unwavering support to each other on the issues of their national interests, regional security, and sustainable development.

RISE OF CHINA: GROWING STRATEGIC COMPETITION BETWEEN THE US AND CHINA
Authors: Ali Irfan , Ali Rubina
Published: April 2022

The emergence of China as a great power is indubitably one of the greatest perplexities in the international arena since the cold war era. Similarly, it poses challenges to the strategic position of the US. The economic and technological height of China has now become a big question mark for the US hegemony. The US has adopted some essential policies and actions like the B3W initiative and Strategic Competition Act of 2021, which label China a strategic competitor in multiple areas, including economics, technology, and military security. Such actions and policies by the US generate growing strategic competition between Beijing and Washington. However, the Chinese political elite has reservations that the US wants to curb the expansion of Chinese influence. This paper, therefore, analyses how strategic competition between China and the US increases with the rise of China, particularly after China’s BRI, and how China poses a challenge or an opportunity for the US. This paper employs the Power-transition theory as an analytical framework to investigate the power transition debated among policymakers in the US and China.

DECLINING US STATUS AS A SUPERPOWER: IMPLICATIONS FOR THE WORLD ORDER
Authors: Abbas Muhammad , Shah Hassan Jalil
Published: April 2022

Since 1945, the US has been relishing the status of a superpower by following its interests through a no of means, including international order, global and regional security arrangements, and international organizations. Recently, emerging global powers have challenged the existing international order, whereas the US is on a declining trajectory. The US hegemonic obligations to use its preponderant power in global issues with the intent to cast events in its favour have brought an inevitable overstretch beyond its capacity. Furthermore. a visible shift in power centres, the backlash of political decisions, and economic recession are other factors that need to be studied. This paper, therefore, explores the highly debated and contested reasons for the US decline. While employing deductive reasoning through qualitative analysis, it evaluates the efficacy of existing international order, emerging multilateralism, and difficulties in obviating the attendant risks to US security and prosperity. Implications of a declining superpower and suggested course of action for Pakistan have also been discussed in this paper.

POWER POLITICS OF SPORTS IN INTERNATIONAL RELATIONS AND ITS EFFECTS ON CRICKET
Authors: Qadeer Abdul
Published: April 2022

Sports can influence people like all other cultural activities. They act as a diplomatic tool to alleviate tensions and improve ties between states. Millions worldwide follow their favourite sports passionately; however, states and leaders sometimes exploit these feelings to further their political agenda. There are examples of cricket diplomacy when relations between states (Pakistan and India) were tense, and it helped normalize the situation but never securitised itself. Securitization of sports is a recent phenomenon that, unfortunately, has marred the beauty of cricket. Political theorists suggest that existing issues of even low politics can hold more sway and attention among the masses if proponents of these issues succeed in securitizing them. Hence, by securitizing an innocuous subject like cricket, matters of low politics have been dragged into the domain of high politics. The recent abandonment of cricket tour to Pakistan by the New Zealand cricket team is an example of getting high politics into sports. This article, therefore, explores the dynamic power of sports in international relations besides analysing the role of high politics in cricket. It accentuates that punishing a country politically by depriving it of hosting international teams can disservice cricket, though it is a diplomatic tool for peace.

EMERGING US-JAPAN RELATIONS AND IMPACT ON EAST ASIAN SECURITY
Authors: Khan Arsh Shahid , Safdar Aiysha
Published: April 2022

States with shared interests and values may form a collective identity to enact their vision and achieve security objectives against those they view as threats. Similarly, US-Japan relations have progressed for a long, not just due to the dangers posed by China and North Korea but because of their shared values of democracy, human rights, peace, and global prosperity. They share the vision of a Free and Open Indo-Pacific by forming bilateral and multilateral alliances. The US and Japan are also engaged in strategic partnerships for traditional and non-traditional security in the region, including maritime, cyber, space, and energy. This paper, therefore, focuses on East Asia due to its vulnerable security architecture and explores how the US and Japan’s security cooperation strengthens regional security by sharing values and security concerns. It highlights that the potential of both states to form a collective identity may improve the security situation in East Asia.

This paper, therefore, aims to study the cost-benefit analysis of the UN peacekeepers in terms of their services. The study is based on qualitative research using Pakistani female peacekeepers as a case study to draw analysis based on informal conversation/interviews with the former female peacekeepers, officers, and trainers. It also examines the current UN peacekeeping training module. This paper argues that the cost and benefits of the peacekeepers should be in line with the services required and concluded that focusing on peacekeeping operations is impractical without proper training and facilitation.

In the endemic world, the emergence of China as a potential superpower is surfacing. It has been a long evolutionary process from the coarse period to the age of prosperity that pushes China to an upward trajectory with its reform model for domestic and worldwide growth. Its economic and strategic directions are reaping fruits in the Belt and Road Initiative. Beijing’s goodwill has been endorsed by different countries of the world who wish to learn from the ascendancy of China on the world stage. However, with the rise of China, it is feared that it would have implications for the predominant world order. This paper, therefore, highlights the country’s political, economic, military, and social reforms by its distinctive Soft Power approach. China is becoming an influential power that cannot be ignored on the global horizon.

Evaluation of Hazelnut Shells in Polypropylene Based Polymer Composite Production
Authors: Yildirim Karim
Published: April 2022

Natural fibers have been commonly utilized to reinforced materials for many years. Recently due to advantages of natural fibers such as low cost, high physical and mechanical resistance are produced plastic-composite materials by mixing various proportions. In addition, plastic composites are used natural fibers include agricultural wastes (wheat straw, rice straw, hemp fiber, shells of various dry fruits, etc.). In this study, polymer composites were manufactured using waste nutshell flour as filler and polypropylene (PP) as polymer matrix. The nutshell-PP composites were manufactured via extrusion and compression methods. The final product tested to determine their tensile, flexural, impact strength properties as well as some physical features such as thickness swelling and water absorptions. The best results were obtained composites containing 30% nutshell flour. In addition, composites which were produced nutshell provided the values of ASTM D6662 standard. The data collected in our country which waste a large portion of nutshell allows for the evaluation of the production polymer composites. The incorporation of nutshell flour feasible to produce plastic composites when appropriate formulations were used. As a result hazelnut shell which was considered agricultural waste can be utilized in polymer composite production.
Human Sentiment Analysis using Machine Learning & Image Processing
Authors: mishra Kartik
Published: April 2022

Facial expressions reveal a great deal about a person's feelings. One of the most difficult aspects of interpersonal relationships is effectively reading facial emotions. Automatic emotion identification based on facial expression recognition has become a hot topic in domains including computer science, medicine, and psychology. For improved outcomes, HCI research communities employ an automated face expression recognition system. For the recognition of expressions in both static photos and real-time films, many feature extraction algorithms have been developed. Love, happiness, rage, fear, and sadness are all examples of human emotions. These photographs are quite diverse from one another, but they all show the same human emotion. In this study, we look into the prospect of utilising machine learning to predict an image's emotion. These kind of predictions can be employed in applications such as automatic tag predictions for social media photographs. Websites, as well as a buyer purchasing a product from a store or through a social media platform, can be useful for determining product quality..

An individual’s concern for sustainability and an organization’s concern for sustainability are interrelated and is imperative considering the significance of environmental and business sustainability to future organizations. The objective of the research is to understand more about the interrelationship between these two concerns. This relationship is studied under the influence of five demographic variables (Age, gender, employment type, educational qualification and income) and considering the preference for self-interest over common interest. The organization’s concern for sustainability and an individual’s concern for sustainability were found to significantly explain each other. The demographic variables were also found to significantly explain these two concerns.

The research is based on a survey instrument and the findings contribute new dimensions to the existing literature on the subject.

Authors: Garcia-Pardo Araceli
Published: April 2022

En este trabajo se aborda el efecto de un programa didáctico emocional intensivo en una muestra de 21 pacientes con adicciones y trastorno mental grave en un centro de rehabilitación. Al comienzo de la intervención se reflejaba un bajo nivel de reconocimiento emocional y empatía. Tras el tratamiento, los participantes lograron disminuir los perfiles de personalidad alterados, concretamente, las escalas de índice modificador: deseabilidad social (p = ,042) y autodescalificación (p = ,004); patrones clínicos: esquizoide (p = ,009), evitativo (p = ,001) y autodestructivo (p = ,014); patología grave de personalidad: esquizotípico (p = ,001) y límite (p = ,021); y síndromes clínicos graves: pensamiento psicótico (p = ,005) y trastorno delirante (p = ,005), excepto síndromes clínicos. Además, se mostró una efectividad terapéutica a los 6 meses en la abstinencia y el logro de metas. Los resultados muestran que los tratamientos intensivos son posibles en el campo de la salud mental.

Desde una perspectiva socio-crítica comunitaria, en este estudio visibilizamos las prácticas de resistencia y/o reproducción al sistema educativo neoliberal chileno que se despliegan en un espacio de trabajo colaborativo docente en el área de ciencias. Recurrimos a la etnografía crítica, desplegada en las técnicas de observación participante, entrevista semiestructurada y grupo de discusión. Mediante un análisis cualitativo de contenido, se identifican dos ejes para abordar las prácticas desplegadas en el espacio de trabajo colaborativo: prácticas organizativas y prácticas pedagógicas. Los/as docentes identifican que el sistema educativo que contextualiza su trabajo impide que las prácticas colaborativas se expresen y predominen en el espacio, dado que sus demandas evaluativas los oprimen, distanciándolos de las actividades que se gestan en el espacio colaborativo. Concluimos que las prácticas de reproducción y resistencia coexisten en el devenir del grupo, instaurándose como una dicotomía aparente que los obliga a “reproducir para resistir”.
