BEHAVIOUR OF SOME UNMARRIED MUSLIM WOMEN ON TIKTOK IN NORTHERN NIGERIA: ISLAMIC DA’WAH AS A WAY FORWARD
Authors: Sule Muhammad Maga , Ladan Maryam Umar
Published: January 2024

TikTok is a new social media site that offers a lot of features to let its users create expressive content on their own. Most of the users on this platform create indecent video content about dancing excessively and other immoral acts, particularly by women. This paper, therefore, aims at discussing the behaviour of some unmarried Muslim women on TikTok in Northern Nigeria. It was observed that the attitudes of some unmarried Muslim women on social media, especially on TikTok, are unbecoming and go against the moral teachings of Islam as it relates to social engagement. The researchers also discovered that most of the women are involved in indecent behaviours on the TikTok platform, where some of these unmarried Muslim females either in the name of becoming celebrities or advertising a brand for the public to see via videos that were uploaded to the platform thereby exposing their bodies to those who are not their Mahram to see. This study was conducted using a survey method, and data were collected through in-depth interviews. The researchers therefore, recommend that Islamic Da’wah is the only way forward to curtail such unethical behaviours among Muslims in Northern Nigeria. The study also recommended that there was an urgent need for Muslim scholars in Northern Nigeria and beyond, to intensify effort through preaches in Masjid, schools, and other public gatherings on the menace of TikTok on Muslim Ummah most importantly the Youth.

Published: January 2024

The purpose of this study was to examine whether the effect of prisoners' negative automatic thoughts on capability suicide through aggression is enhanced by cognitive fusion. Moderated mediation analysis was conducted by SPSS 25.0 and SPSS PROCESS Macro. The data of 500 prisoners were collected. The results of the study showed that there was a full mediation effect of aggression on the relationship between negative automatic thoughts and capability for suicide among prisoners. In addition, the aggression induced by negative automatic thoughts was further strengthened by cognitive fusion. Lastly, this study found that the mediation effect of aggression moderated by cognitive fusion was also significant from the moderated mediation model analysis. This finding suggests that the higher the level of cognitive fusion, the greater the impact of negative automatic thoughts on capability for suicide through aggression. The results in this study highlight the importance of psychological problems in interventions to prevent prisoner suicide and suggest meaningful information for theoretical intervention models in correctional psychology.
Impact of Elevation Angle on Cross Polarization Discrimination for Telecommunication Application in Warri, Delta State, Nigeria
Authors: C.K. Ojoba , J. T. Zhimwang , E. P. Ogherohwo , ENAIBE E.
Published: January 2024

This study explores the impact of elevation angle on Cross Polarization Discrimination (XPD) in telecommunication systems, as evidenced by data collected under varying rain conditions. The study examines XPD values at elevation angles of 400 and 600 degrees across different rain classifications and intensities. Analysis of the data reveals that increasing the elevation angle generally leads to improvements in XPD, indicating enhanced discrimination against cross-polarized interference and improved signal quality. Notably, significant improvements in XPD are observed in conditions of widespread rain at higher elevation angles. However, the effectiveness of elevating antennas in mitigating interference diminishes as rain intensity increases, particularly in extreme cloudburst scenarios. The findings underscore the importance of considering elevation angle in antenna placement and system design to optimize XPD and ensure reliable communication performance, especially in adverse weather conditions. This research contributes to a deeper understanding of the complex relationship between elevation angle and XPD, offering valuable insights for the design and optimization of telecommunication networks.
Sparseness Controlled Proportionate RLS Algorithm for Sparse and Non-Sparse Systems
Authors: Meena Shiv Ram
Published: January 2024

This paper proposes a novel sparse adaptive technique to handle variable sparsity. The algorithm is based on the measure of sparseness. A proportionate matrix distributes the gain factor for all filter taps during each iteration. Each filter coefficient of the adaptive filter is updated by the corresponding diagonal element of the proportionate matrix, and that depends on the degree of sparseness. The classical recursive least square algorithm (RLS) is amended by accommodating the proportionate matrix to propose the sparseness-controlled proportionate recursive least square (SC-PRLS) algorithm. The convergence control parameter is incorporated into the algorithm to achieve faster convergence and better steady-state error. The performance of Mean squared error and stead state error of the proposed algorithm are also compared with standard RLS and proportionate RLS (PRLS). The simulation results indicate that SC-PRLS is more effective than PRLS and traditional RLS. An increase in the degree of sparseness leads to an increase in steady-state error and it can be controlled by convergence control parameter, while the convergence rate remains intact in the SC-PRLS. It performs superior in sparse as well as in non-sparse environment so this algorithm can handle large variations in the sparseness. Keywords: SC-PRLS, Sparseness Controlled Proportionate Adaptive Algorithm, Sparse and Non-Sparse Systems, RLS.
An Optimization-Based Data Search Clustering Approach for Multidimensional Datasets
Authors: Atulker Pradeep Kumar , Gupta Dr. Rajendra
Published: January 2024

Multidimensional data refers to datasets featuring with multiple columns, often referred to as features or attributes. The challenge in multidimensional data analysis is that clusters and outliers are often detected based on the dataset's features, which may not align well with ground truth in real-world scenarios (e.g., gene expression data). Efficiency is a critical consideration as optimized clustering algorithms must handle the growing size of multidimensional datasets. In this research paper, we have proposed a Sinusoidal Chaotic and Information Entropy based Elephant-Herding Optimization for Clustering (SCIE_EOC) to data search in multidimensional datasets. The result shows the proposed method shows around 92-95 per cent accuracy for different datasets which is around 5 per cent better than the earlier methods.
Cracking the Code: A New Perspective on Architectural Education
Authors:   University of Arizona, Bean Jonathan
Published: January 2024

Legitimation Code Theory, or LCT, a framework from education studies, offers the potential for a new perspective on architectural education by distinguishing the different forms knowledge can take and the conditions that determine whether knowledge is considered legitimate within a field of practice such as architecture. At a time when the field is under pressure to respond to climate change and social equity, LCT offers a cogent and tested set of tools for understanding the present state of architectural education and influencing its future. Building on the core LCT dimension of specialization, three potentials for the field are identified in the interest of moving the field toward a polyvalent definition of architecture.

Authors: Mat Zaini Mohd Haszami , Mapa Mohammad Tahir
Published: January 2024

Less efficient management of solid waste will lead to environmental degradation which ultimately affects the quality of human life. Recycling is said to be one of the best solutions to the problem, but participation in recycling activities is still low. The objective of this study was to identify the influence of intent factors and their three dimensions, i.e. attitudes, subjective norms, and perceived behavioral control of pro-environmental behavior practices or Pro-Environment Behavior (PEB) recycling by using The Theory of Planned Behavior (TPB). The study was conducted on 259 students who were randomly selected from seven sixth form centres and analysed using descriptive statistics and inference statistics. The findings showed that both sexes scored in high categories for intent variables and Recycling PEB practices. The level of intent and PEB recycling is at a high level. The results of the analysis found that the intent variable had a significant influence on recycling PEB practices however, at a moderate level. It is found that the influence of the dimension of intent, i.e. attitude towards recycling PEB is at .075, i.e. insignificant (sig. F = p<0.05), but the dimensions of the subject norms and perceived behavior have a significant influence on the recycling PEB i.e. at p=.006 and .000 respectively. The results of this study are expected to generate ideas and suggestions to improve pro-environmental behaviour practices that support recycling among school students.

Authors: Yan Yiqian , Bava Harji Madhubala
Published: January 2024

The qualitative approach appears to be dominant in language teacher identity (LTI) research. Emerging LTI studies using non-qualitative methods have been overlooked. To date, a review that synthesizes English teacher identity (ETI) studies using non-qualitative methods is lacking. This paper reports on a PRISMA-based systematic review of 20 identified studies from the Google Scholar and CNKI databases. The outcomes of the review are as follows: First, studies tend to concentrate on five countries, but mostly in China and Iran. Second, Beijaard’s definition and measuring instruments of TI are most frequently cited. Third, samples were predominantly university teachers. Finally, a framework was proposed to capture six research themes: (i) ETI levels and socio-demographic factors, (ii) comparative study, (iii) ETI and one construct, (iv) ETI and two constructs, and (v) ETI and technology use or metacognition. Recommendations for future research and limitations of this study are discussed.

A CONCEPTUAL OF STUDY ON RADICAL PERSUASIVE COMMUNICATION: A RISK FOR FUTURE GENERATIONS
Authors: Adnan Wardatul Hayat , Saifuddin Abdul Hamid , Ibnu Ireena Nasiha
Published: January 2024

Radical organisations frequently target young adults, especially college students, to enlist them as cadres for their movements all over the world. They are recruited in a variety of ways, with the use of cyberspace being particularly prevalent. These extremists no longer use face-to-face interactions in the physical world to promote extremism in the age of the internet. Instead, they use the internet and information technology. These radical groups frequently take advantage of the widespread use of the internet, social media, and social networking tools to spread their beliefs, advance their doctrines, identify and recruit potential cadres, and even to call for jihad against the West. The present study aims to explore the reasons for radical organisations in targeting young adults in delivering their propaganda. Meta-Analysis was conducted through a narrative review of findings from multiple primary research studies on various studies to derive more robust conclusions and identify patterns and consistencies across different studies. Factors contributed are idealism and passion, vulnerability, active and energy, access to education and resources as well as due to long-term commitment. Radical organisations exploit this idealism to recruit young adults who may be more willing to engage in radical activities to achieve their goals and also to provide the manpower needed to carry out their agendas. Additionally, college students may have access to resources, such as meeting spaces, funding, and a network of like-minded individuals, which can further the goals of radical organisations and the ability to provide a constant stream of recruits and sustain the organisation's activities over time as most young adults prioritise their education, personal growth, and other non-radical activities. Thus, it is crucial to promote critical thinking, media literacy, digital literacy and open dialogue to empower young adults to make informed decisions and resist the influence of radical organisations.

Review Hadith: Regarding the Legitimacy of Ablution for Women Active Users of Waterproof Cosmetics
Authors: Muthoharoh Isnaini Lu'lu' Atim
Published: January 2024

The rise of cosmetics labeled as halal among women has sparked the birth of several new problems. Because there are many types of cosmetics, there are cosmetics with waterproof types that can prevent water from entering human skin. The purpose of this study is first, to review the validity of ablution for active users of waterproof cosmetics by using hadith as a reference source, secondly to determine the impact of using waterproof cosmetics, as well as solutions for Muslim women to look beautiful without eliminating the perfection of ablution practice as a condition for the validity of prayer. This qualitative descriptive research uses historical and linguistic approaches to reveal the proportional content of a hadith. The results of this study indicate that the meaning of the primary hadith contains a warning and punishment from hell for someone negligent in performing ablution. Someone's prayer is in vain because water-resistant ablution cosmetics indicate the presence of chemicals that can block water from entering the skin. In addition, ablution is the primary solution for women to look naturally beautiful without doubting the validity and risk of skin disease due to prolonged use of cosmetics.

Consumer extremism (terrorism): Is it an independent legal phenomenon or a type of abuse of rights?
Authors: Morozov A. S.
Published: January 2024

This paper is devoted to the search for an answer to the question whether consumer extremism (terrorism) is an independent legal phenomenon or a specific type of abuse of rights. The etymology is defined and a brief description of the essence of the concepts of “extremism” and “terrorism” is given. It is analyzed how these concepts relate to the protection of consumer rights. It is noted that in journalism and scientific research, the concepts of “consumer extremism” and “consumer terrorism” are used not in mutual connection, but as synonymous terms. The concept of “abuse of rights” is analyzed in relation to the principles of good faith, reasonableness and fairness. Two approaches to understanding the content of the concept of “consumer extremism (terrorism)” have been identified: in a narrow sense, it coincides with the concept of “abuse of rights”, in a broad sense it combines cases of abuse of rights and cases of illegal behavior. Based on a narrow approach, consumer extremism (terrorism) is a type of abuse of rights, and from a broad one it is an independent legal phenomenon. The author concludes that in journalism, in order to draw attention to the problem of excessive and unjustified exercise of subjective rights by consumers, the term “consumer extremism (terrorism)” has the right to exist, but as a legal concept it is overly politicized and not specified.
