Douglas Pratt and Rachel Woodlock became the editor of the book entitled Fear of Muslims? International Perspective on Islamophobia. Fourteen writers wrote these chapters (based on research). It also consists of fourteen articles portraying the face of Islam in the West (America and Europe). This book proves the constraint in the encounter of the West and the Islamic World.  
Rubbing from the encounter appears from the growth of Islamophobia in the West. Islamophobia is defined as “Dread or hatred of Islam and therefore, to the fear and dislike of all Muslims” (p.19), merely the feeling of hate and dislike toward Islam and Muslims.
Douglas Pratt and Rachel Woodlock in the part of the introduction (Introduction: Understanding Islamophobia) mention that Islamophobia is not a new thing growing in the West. Islamophobia has existed in Western culture for many years. Both wrote that Islamophobia appeared in the West since the Crusade era, in 1095. Since that time, Islam has been the real and universal enemy normatively and fundamentally in the West.

Authors: Nur Auni binti Ugong
Published: December 2024

ABSTRAK Jika dibandingkan dengan masyarakat lain di Sarawak, masyarakat Bidayuh adalah yang keempat terbesar mendiami Sarawak setelah Iban, Cina dan Melayu. Dahulunya masyarakat Bidayuh dikenali sebagai Land Dayak atau Hill Dayak. Objektif artikel ini adalah meninjau proses migrasi dan perkembangan penempatan masyarakat Bidayuh di antara tempoh tahun 1400 hingga 1840. Data kajian ini terdiri daripada data primer dan data sekunder, yang mana analisis dilakukan dengan menggunakan aplikasi ATLAS.ti  dengan merujuk kepada kata kunci yang telah ditetapkan. Dapatan kajian membuktikan bahawa kegiatan migrasi masyarakat Bidayuh yang berlaku daripada tahun 1400-1840 ternyata menjurus ke bahagian pedalaman khususnya ke bahagian hulu atau ke kawasan pergunungan. Migrasi ini berlaku disebabkan beberapa faktor seperti ancaman lanun dan kaum lain yang lebih kuat, penindasan, mengelakkan daripada diperhambakan dan keganasan yang dilakukan terhadap masyarakat tersebut. Masyarakat Bidayuh diandaikan berasal dari Kalimantan Indonesia dan bermigrasi ke Bahagian Kuching dan Bahagian Samarahan. Setelah bermigrasi lebih kurang 600 tahun lalu, kawasan petempatan masyarakat Bidayuh semakin berkembang sehingga ke Bahagian Miri, Sibu dan Bintulu.
ABSTRACT When compared to other communities in Sarawak, the Bidayuh community is the fourth largest inhabiting Sarawak after the Iban, Chinese and Malays. In the past, the Bidayuh community was known as Land Dayak or Hill Dayak. The objective of this paper is to survey the migration process and settlement development of the Bidayuh community between the years 1400 to 1840. The data of this study consists of primary data and secondary data, which analysis is carried out using the ATLAS.ti application with reference to the keywords that have been set . The findings of the study proved that the migration activities of the Bidayuh community that took place from 1400-1840 turned out to be directed to the interior, especially to the upstream or to the mountainous areas. This migration occurred due to several factors such as the threat of pirates and other stronger races, oppression, avoiding enslavement and violence against the community. The Bidayuh community is assumed to originate from Kalimantan Indonesia and migrated to Kuching Division and Samarahan Division. After migrating approximately 600 years ago, the Bidayuh community's settlement area is expanding to Miri, Sibu and Bintulu Divisions.

Assessment of the Geothermal Source Potential Using Aero Radiometric Data in Parts of South-West and South-South, Nigeria
Authors: Ejaita Edeye , Udensi Emmanuel E.
Published: December 2024

Aeroradiometric surveys have recently become an invaluable resource for geothermal research. The Nigeria Geological Survey Agency (NGSA) provided the airborne radiometric data and other relevant information for the research area. For accurate detection of outliers, we recorded the data at 0.1 second intervals. Geographically, the research region covers the range of longitudes 5.0°E to 6.5°E and latitudes 6.0°N to 7.5°N. Radiogenic heat production (RHP), primarily caused by the decay of uranium, thorium, and potassium isotopes, and the tenary map were the main areas of investigation. We used Rybach’s empirical equation to determine the relative heat production (RHP) by relating the rock’s uranium (Cu), thorium (CTh), and potassium (CK) concentrations. The RHP values of six distinct profiles were calculated over the research area. Due to their higher RHP values (1.028928, 1.031824, and 1.023776 μW/m³, respectively), Profiles 2, 3, and 6 were deemed appropriate geothermal locations. There is a considerable lot of potential for geothermal energy production in Profile 3, which has the highest RHP, as well as in Profiles 2 and 6. Areas with large concentrations of radioactive elements were also shown by the ternary picture and concentration maps, along with regions with notable geothermal gradients and heat flow. Consequently, the regions around Edo State municipalities like as Okada, Okakpan, and Ugboku are ideal for geothermal energy. Geothermal exploration is most effective in areas with large concentrations of radiogenic elements, according to the study’s results, which provide the groundwork for further investigation in these areas.
Takt complementing Last Planner® System on residential construction projects.
Authors: Power William
Published: December 2024

Ireland is experiencing a national housing crisis, and this is replicated across many developed economies. This challenges governments and housebuilders to increase production whilst balancing challenging human resource and supply chain constraints. Lean construction methodologies have enhanced project delivery in other sectors of the industry. This study evaluates the outcomes of Last Planner System and Takt planning implementation on two residential projects.
The study adopted a mixed methods approach utilising case study design and data collected from a literature review, site observation diary, site documentation analysis, and semi-structured interviews. Findings demonstrate schedule reduction opportunities through higher and more consistent PPC, reduction of cycle times, and enhanced adherence to start and finish dates. The study proposes a more holistic focus is needed on productivity improvement initiatives on the entire project scope as opposed to singular exercises on aspects like internal finishes alone. Increased inter-contractor communication and engagement led to a positive working environment with greater focus on the softer aspects of collaborative working. This study posits the discipline, detail, and diligence of Takt complements LPS to deliver an enhanced production-system that betters traditional schedule milestones in residential project delivery.

Authors: Akindeinde Akinsanmi , Akinola Joseph , Ojo Lekan , Okechukwu Augustine
Published: December 2024

The Nigerian construction industry is faced with environmental degradation, economic and social-related challenges, in which Modular Integrated Construction (MiC) could be regarded as practical solution. Sadly, many construction professionals and stakeholders are reluctant to adopt this innovative approach in developing countries like Nigeria. This informs the necessity to investigate the relationships between MiC indicators and performance metrics with a survey of professionals with practical experience in the use of MiC in executing infrastructure in Lagos and Abuja, Nigeria. The data retrieved from the respondents were analyzed using both descriptive and inferential statistics. Pearson correlation was used to determine the relationships between MiC indicators and performance in this study. The results of the analysis revealed that both procedural and internal MiC indicators are significant to enhancing economic, environmental, and social performance. In addition, it has been demonstrated that the impact of MiC is extremely beneficial in all construction ramifications for sustainable practice. Based on the findings of this study, it is suggested that massive awareness campaigns regarding the necessity of using technology in construction activities be launched among professionals and stakeholders in the construction industry to enhance the use of MiC in the Nigerian construction industry.
Factor analysis of risk allocation criteria (RAC) in public-private partnership (PPP) projects: A case of New Zealand
Authors: Rasheed Nasir , Shahzad Wajiha , Rotimi James
Published: December 2024

The utilization of Public Private Partnerships (PPPs) has become widely prevalent as an innovative approach for procuring public infrastructure projects. Risk transfer/allocation is one of the main reasons for this widespread adoption and considered a critical success factor for a PPP. Given the importance of equitable risk allocation, this study identified and analysed 10 key risk allocation criteria. Experts with experience in PPP projects in New Zealand were surveyed through an empirical questionnaire to obtain industry-wide data. Mean score analysis and factor analysis were then used to analyse the collected data. In order to ensure the validity of the analysis results, appropriate statistical tests such as Cronbach’s Alpha, Kaiser-Meyer-Olkin (KMO) statistic and Bartlett’s test of Sphericity were conducted. Result indicate that the most important criteria for risk allocation are “risk foresight”, “minimize risk loss” and “response to risk”. Furthermore, factor analysis showed that the identified RAC can be classified into three component groups namely “risk management expertise”, “core risk management capability” and “risk management strategy”. This study aims to provide PPP stakeholders with useful insights into the most effective measures for achieving equitable risk allocation. To achieve this, the study recommends to consider the risk management capabilities of both the public and private sectors in light of the identified RACs/groupings. The results of the study are expected to assist PPP stakeholders in developing strategies that can enhance risk management and achieve a fair distribution of risks.

Brands that focus their efforts on experience gains competitive advantage, generating greater customer loyalty and trust. In Brazil, when a brand wins the trust of its consumers through brand experience, it gains loyalty (Tomiya, 2012; Eberle, Gasparetto & Milan, 2020). Thus, the present study sought to analyze the influence of the brand experience on consumers' trust and loyalty in a plus size fashion brand of Santa Catarina, Brazil. The research was carried through a survey with the brand customers from all over Brazil and had a total of 391 respondents. The survey was classified as a quantitative approach with a transversal approach. Results demonstrate that brand experiences significantly influence brand loyalty and trust. Accordingly, trust also positively influences loyalty. Consequently, the study provided greater insights for managers, entrepreneurs and academics within the field. As it is, now it is possible to have better knowledge when it comes to what to do as a way to provide better customer experience as a way to achieve loyalty and trust. Benefits rely on the acquisition of new customers and the involvement and engagement of customers with the brand through personalized content, unboxing specials and attention to consumers' needs
Voyage to the Duat. The Nile, the Sphinx and the Pyramids in the Paintings of Orientalist Artists of the Second Half of the 19th — early 20th Century
Authors:   State Institute for Art Studies, Loseva A.S.
Published: December 2024

The article concerns the understanding of the image of the Giza complex in European and Russian Orientalist painting of the second half of the 19th — early 20th century. A purely secular type of landscape associated with mass tourism products correlates with the area of the sacred. The author traces the paintings of Giza to the iconographic tradition of depicting Egypt in religious painting of the Baroque age. The difference in the vision of the Giza complex by European and Russian masters is associated with the way the “Egyptian” was labelled in the Old and New Testament themes of the beginning of the New Age.

Authors:   Pushkin Museum of Fine Arts, Markova N.Yu.
Published: December 2024

The article concludes the historical review of graphic art collecting in Russia and covers the 20th and 21st centuries. The peculiarity of collecting in the 20th century in the USSR was nationalization of pre-revolutionary collections, the almost monopolistic dominance of state museums, isolation from the international art market, as well as the huge losses of works as a result of revolutions, wars and the collapse of the USSR. The years of perestroika and the following two decades of the 21st century were marked by a reduction in state acquisitions for museums, the growth of private collections and galleries, the revival of art trade within the country and interaction with the global art market, the emergence of new collectibles such as livre d’artiste.

Precious Decoration of the icon "The Mother of God of Peribleptos"
Authors:   Sergiev Posad Museum-Reserve, Vorontsova L.M.
Published: December 2024

The icon "The Mother of God of Peribleptos" comes from the collection of the Trinity-Sergius Lavra. Documentary information about the origin of the icon and its precious decoration has not been preserved, their appearance in the Trinity Monastery can only be said hypothetically. In historiographical literature, the icon was considered primarily as a monument of icon painting, its precious decoration attracted the attention of researchers to a much lesser extent. Currently, the icon is decorated with golden crowns and ochelle (a part of a headdress) embroidered with pearls. On the crown and gold castes there are numerous holes from nails, traces of, alterations and interruptions, nail holes over the entire surface of the icon field. The article examines the composition and changes in the safety of the precious decoration on the basis of information from documentary sources, first of all, these are inventories of the Trinity-Sergius Lavra in 1641, 1701, 1735, 1908. Written sources indicate that the precious decoration of the icon was not formed at the same time, has survived to this day not in its original form and is a complex composite work. Its research confirms the obvious difference in the time of origin of the individual parts. The most ancient parts are the crown of the Mother of God with golden discs and cabochons in high castes. Around the same time or a little later, it is possible to date the golden "nests" and filigree rosette in the crown of Christ, the basma base of which dates back to the second half of the 16th century. Woven ubrus appeared no earlier than the 16th century.
Субтайлинг в итерационных методах: принципы построения и численные эксперименты
Authors: Свешников В. М. , Яклюшин А. М.
Published: December 2024

предлагается и экспериментально исследуется новый подход к ускорению итерационных методов — субтайлинг, основанный на идеях классического тайлинга. Суть подхода заключается в повторном использовании данных, загруженных в кэш-память процессора, что значительно сокращает время вычислений и повышает эффективность алгоритмов. Основная идея заключается в формировании субтайлов — вторичных тайлов, смещенных по диагонали на один узел относительно исходных тайлов. Предложенный подход был протестирован на итерационном методе последовательной верхней релаксации (SOR). Результаты численных экспериментов показали, что субтайлинг позволяет ускорить вычисления более чем в 5 раз. Изложен алгоритм формирования и использования субтайлов, проведен анализ его эффективности.

we proposed and experimentally investigated a new approach to accelerating iterative methods called sub-tiling based on the ideas of conventional tiling. The new approach reuses the data loaded into the CPU cache, which significantly reduces the computation time and increases the efficiency of algorithms. The key idea is to form subtiles, or secondary tiles shifted diagonally by one node relative to the original tiles. We tested this concept using the iterative successive over-relaxation (SOR) method. The results of numerical experiments show that sub-tiling speeds up the computation by more than 5x. The paper presents an algorithm for sub-tile generation and application, and the analysis of the algorithm efficiency.

O artigo se propõe a identificar um fundamento e um horizonte normativos na produção teórica de Wolfgang Streeck. A pesquisa teórica empreendida inicia-se por uma apresentação reconstrutiva da trajetória intelectual do autor, com ênfase em seu diálogo crítico com as teorias da crise frankfurtianas. Esta contextualização é seguida pela identificação de aparentes antinomias ou tensões no diagnóstico streeckiano de crise dos direitos sociais e das democracias no mundo atual. Com base nessa constatação, passa-se a um esforço crítico que identifica, nas frestas de uma obra que se afirma como não normativa e alheia à proposição de soluções positivas, tanto uma base político-filosófica como um direcionamento programático associados a uma visão de sociedade em que os sujeitos das políticas públicas, do direito e da democracia se limitam aos homens, brancos e europeus. Revela-se, assim, a normatividade do pensamento de Streeck e lançam-se luzes sobre os seus atributos de incompatibilidade com o pensamento crítico, em cuja esteira o autor usualmente afirma erigir o seu trabalho.

This study is focused on the sedimentary strata of the Silurian/Devonian boundary interval in the Gorna Vrabcha section 2 from the Morava Unit (SW Bulgaria). Four microfacies types have been distinguished and described: Bioclastic wackestone/packstone (MFT 1), Bioclastic packstone with clayey mudstone laminae (MFT 2), Bioclastic mudstone (MFT 3) and Homogeneous mudstone (MFT 4). They are respectively interpreted as formed in various high- and low-energy open-marine environments. Thus, during the Přídolí and at the begging of the Lochkovian sedimentation occurred in an open-marine setting located between the fair-weather wave base and the storm wave base (MFT 1 and MFT 2), that was often affected by storms and storm-related currents. Later, during the Lochkovian, a calm and relatively deep-water environment predominated (MFT 3 and MFT 4) and was most probably located below the storm wave base. Based on the obtained microfacies data and depositional setting interpretations a deepening trend of sedimentary basin during the Přídoli–early Lochkovian time have been suggested.

Successfully treating tuberculosis (TB) could significantly help reduce its spread. The aim of this study was to identify factors associated with successful TB treatment. A retrospective study was conducted in West Nusa Tenggara, Indonesia, using data from the National TB Information System (SITB) covering patients from January 1 to December 31, 2022. Patients were classified into two groups: those with successful treatment outcomes (cured or completed treatment) and those with unsuccessful outcomes (including treatment failure, loss to follow-up, or death). Univariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses were performed to identify factors associated with treatment outcomes, providing odds ratios (OR) and adjusted odds ratios (aOR) with 95% confidence intervals (CIs). A total of 2,225 TB patients (1,382 males and 843 females) were included in the study. Of these, 2,048 (92.1%) achieved successful treatment outcomes. Univariate analysis indicated that older age (OR: 0.47; 95%CI: 0.28–0.78) and a high number of AFB in sputum smears (OR: 0.23; 95%CI: 0.09–0.66) were associated with a higher likelihood of unsuccessful TB treatment. In contrast, having no HIV infection (OR: 13.44; 95%CI: 6.22–29.08), clinical TB cases (diagnosed clinically rather than bacteriologically) (OR: 1.50; 95%CI: 1.04–2.20) and longer duration of TB treatments were associated with successful treatment outcomes. Multivariate analysis suggested that the TB treatment durations of 4–6 months (aOR: 1256.95; 95%CI: 431.89–3658.19) and 7–12 months (aOR: 575.5; 95%CI: 99.1–3342.06) were associated with a significantly higher likelihood of success compared to durations of 0–3 months. In conclusion, this study highlights that a minimum treatment duration of three months was crucial for increasing the likelihood of successful TB treatment. These findings emphasize the importance of comprehensive support programs to ensure adherence to treatment guidelines and improve outcomes.

The article presents the material on studying the relative expression of pro- and anti-inflammatory cytokine genes in the blood of cows during the therapy of chronic endometritis in cows. It has been established that during treatment there is a decrease in the relative expression level of pro-inflammatory (TNF-α, IL-2) with a simultaneous increase in anti-inflammatory (IL-4, IL-10) cytokines. The greatest clinical efficacy of treatment of cows with chronic endometritis was established when using the antimicrobial drug "PK", biostimulgin and uteroton – 89.5%, accompanied by a decrease in the relative expression level of the TNFα genes in the blood by 2.1 times, IL-2 - by 2.18 times, with a simultaneous increase in IL-4 by 1.82 times, IL-10 – by 1.71 times. The dominance of the relative expression of anti-inflammatory cytokine genes over pro-inflammatory ones indicates the extinction of inflammatory processes in the uterus.
A Corpus of Iron Age II Inscriptions from Jerusalem: The Background for the Writing of Biblical Texts
Authors: Eames Christopher , Garfinkel Yosef
Published: December 2024

Of the numerous Iron Age II (First Temple period) ancient sites
across the southern Levant, none has yielded as many inscriptions as Jerusalem. This abundance manifests in numbers as well as diversity of forms, media, and subjects. They include personal names and titles of kings, princes, governors, scribes, priests, sons, daughters, fathers, wives,
and grandfathers (approximately a dozen names are biblically attested) and feature content of a general historical, geopolitical, financial, commemorative, and religious nature. These inscriptions broadly span from the Iron Age IIA to the fall of Jerusalem, ca. 586 BCE. Here, we review the corpus of provenanced Iron Age II inscriptions from Jerusalem and conclude that its size and quality demonstrate a significant literary capacity, the background for the writing of biblical texts.
