Authors: Zamani Abu Sarwar , Abdalla Hashim Aisha Hassan , Ibrahim Mohamed Sara Saadeldeen , Nasre Alam Md.
Published: January 2025

The swift expansion of networking platforms has led to a significant proliferation of fake news on social media in recent years,  posing a serious risk to public safety. This phenomenon carries various potential negative effects on society, including the erosion of public confidence in journalists and governmental institutions. Consequently, the identification of fake news has attracted considerable attention from researchers across various fields. As online and social media platforms have grown, it has become easier for false information to mix in with real or verified information. People who spread false information usually have some kind of political or social goal in mind when they spread their hoaxes. Because of this, it is of the utmost importance to come up with a trustworthy way to spot false information. This article describes a way to use deep learning to spot fake news. Methodology is made up of a set of input data. The information in this dataset comes from the social networking site Twitter. First, the raw data that is being used are preprocessed. Stop word removal, stemming, and tokenization are the main parts of data preprocessing. The NTLK library is used to get rid of stop words. Porter's Algorithm is used to do stemming. N-gram model is used to do tokenization. LSTM, CNN, and AdaBoost algorithms are used to build the model. Results have shown that LSTM is better than CNN and AdaBoost in terms of accuracy, specificity, and sensitivity. LSTM has achieved an accuracy of 99.24% for fake news detection. Specificity of LSTM is 99.2%. LSTM's sensitivity is 98.67%. LSTM has achieved an accuracy of 99.24% for fake news detection. Specificity of LSTM is 99.2% and sensitivity is 98.67%.

Strengthening Security in Clouds Through Cloud Computing Authentication Using Facial Image Forensics
Authors: Dahiwal Pranali , Khare Vijay
Published: January 2025

Numerous cyber threats may succeed in cloud platforms owing to unproductive authentication methods. Multiple credential authentication is a vital precautionary measure that helps reinforce cloud security for warding off imminent data breaches and illegal access. This kind of authentication approach strongly guarantees that trustworthy clients are only ratified to get cloud services, making it less tiresome for clients and more secure for organizations. This study proposes an Image Forensics-based Dual Credential Authentication (IF-DCA) based on username (i.e., preferably email ID to avoid replica) and client photographs as password. Along with a username, a rapid and acquainted user action of capturing a photograph using a web camera is adequate for this method; hence it does not need any expensive, special hardware devices. During the registration phase, along with the username, the user's face image is stored on the cloud server as a password. When registered clients need to access cloud resources or data, they should log in on the server with their username and their photograph. To improve the authentication approach, this work proposes an Attribute-controlled Conditional Generative Adversarial Network (ACC-GAN) to generate face images of the same user at various age groups. ACC-GAN includes an additional attribute control unit and an age prediction unit to synthesize photo-realistic face images with aging effects. After matching the username and face image with the registered username and ACC-GAN-generated images, the face identification module provides access to the authorized cloud user. The performance of IF-DCA is assessed through the Cross-Age Celebrity Dataset using the MATLAB R2018b/deep learning toolbox. The empirical analysis reveals that the ACC-GAN achieves better performance measures such as 98.40% accuracy, 99.3% sensitivity, 90.0% specificity, and 95.7% precision. The performance of IF-DCA is analyzed using the verification time for username, user image, and complete authentication against the number of users.

PENAFSIRAN SURAH AL KAUSAR DALAM PERSPEKTIF IMAM MAZHAB
Authors: Hasbi Husnaini
Published: January 2025

The interpretation of Surah Al-Kausar, which is the shortest letter in the Qur'an, has a variety of rich perspectives in the Islamic exegetical tradition. This article discusses the interpretation of Surah Al-Kausar from the perspective of four major school imams: Imam Abu Hanifah, Imam Malik, Imam Syafi'i, and Imam Ahmad bin Hanbal. Each imam gives a different interpretation of the meaning and message contained in this letter, based on the ushul fiqh methodology they adhere to. Imam Abu Hanifah tends to emphasize the social and economic aspects implied in this letter, especially in relation to the command to make sacrifices and pay attention to the poor. Imam Malik, with a focus on charity and worship, interprets Surah Al-Kausar as an encouragement to increase piety through sincere and continuous worship. Meanwhile, Imam Syafi'i provides a more legalistic interpretation, emphasizing the importance of fulfilling the requirements for carrying out worship as a form of obedience to Allah SWT. On the other hand, Imam Ahmad bin Hanbal sees Surah Al-Kausar as a symbol of Allah's gift of abundant blessings to the Messenger of Allah, who must be grateful for by increasing the quality of worship and devotion. This study provides in-depth insight into how different methodologies in fiqh science can produce diverse interpretations but still enrich Muslims' understanding of this letter. It is hoped that the results of this research can be a reference for academics and practitioners in understanding and practicing the teachings of the Qur'an more comprehensively.

Published: January 2025

Lower back pain (LBP) is a prevalent issue affecting the lumbar region of the human body, with degenerative discs identified as a significant contributing factor. X-ray imaging, often the first recommended investigation by Orthopaedic Doctors, offers valuable insights into the condition of the intervertebral discs in the lumbar spine. In this study, intervertebral disc spaces were quantified using image processing techniques and compared the quantified values to established normal ranges. The results revealed significant deviations between the deteriorated intervertebral disc spaces and the mean and standard deviation values of healthy subjects, confirming instances of disc degeneration. Several risk factors were found to influence disc degeneration, including gender, age, and body mass index (BMI). A comprehensive statistical analysis highlighted how these factors, while having small but significant effects, contribute to the overall health of the lumbar spine, providing a clearer understanding of their impact on disc degeneration through robust non-parametric studies.

Psychedelics have emerged as a promising approach to treating mental disorders, challenging traditional paradigms in psychiatry. This study conducted an integrative literature review to investigate the advances, challenges, and implications of the therapeutic use of these substances, addressing the guiding question: “What are the current scientific perspectives on the use of psychedelics in the treatment of mental disorders?” The methodology followed the steps proposed by Mendes, Silveira, and Galvão (2008), covering the selection of articles from the LILACS, SCIELO, and MEDLINE databases. Descriptors in Portuguese and English, such as “Psychedelics,” “Mental Disorders,” and “Therapeutic Advances,” were used, and inclusion criteria favored recent and complete publications. The results indicated significant advances in the use of psychedelics, such as psilocybin, in treating resistant depression and MDMA for post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). Studies showed rapid and sustained improvements in depressive symptoms, while MDMA, combined with assisted psychotherapy, significantly reduced PTSD symptoms. These effects are attributed to the interaction with serotonergic receptors, promoting neuroplasticity and reorganization of neural networks, enabling profound psychological transformation. Despite the progress, ethical, legal, and operational challenges remain. Many psychedelics are still classified as high-risk substances, hindering their regulation and clinical use. Additionally, training specialized professionals and ensuring safety in therapeutic settings are crucial aspects to expand the application of these substances. In conclusion, psychedelics represent an innovative frontier in the treatment of mental disorders, with the potential to revolutionize psychiatry. However, overcoming regulatory and societal barriers, as well as investing in long-term research and professional training, is essential for their full integration into health systems.

Published: January 2025

Sesame monocropping dominates crop management in the research area, leading to low yield, high insect frequency, and poor soil fertility. The purpose of this study is to assess how intercropping green grams and sesame affects land productivity.To assess the productivity of intercropping sesame varieties with green gram at varying row spacing in one environment of Humera, Western Tigray, Ethiopia, three factorial experiments were carried out in three replicates: (i) cropping system at two levels (mono cropping and intercropping); (ii) two sesame varieties (setit1 and local); and (iii) row spacing at three levels (40 cm, 60 cm, and 80 cm). The findings demonstrated that varied numbers of row spacing and intercropping methods had a significant impact on different yield components of green grams and sesame. Monocultures planted at 40 cm row spacing had the maximum grain yields of both sesame and green gram (6.9 q/ha, 5.3 q/ha, and 13.2 q/ha for setit1, local, and green gram, respectively). Conversely, with intercropping setit1, local, and green gram at 80 cm row spacing, the lowest yields (2.7 q/ha, 2 q/ha, and 3.1 q/ha) were achieved.Intercropping green gram grown at all row spacing gained a significantly lower number of pods dropped over mono-cropping green gram at all row spacing.The highest LER values was gained in intercropped setit1 and local sesame at 60 cm spacing (2.6 and 2.2) while the least (1.1 and 1.2) in 40 cm spacing respectively.Oil content of the tested treatments was similar to the mono-cropping system.

Published: January 2025

This article examines various aspects of the architectural and urban heritage of the city of Ust-Kamenogorsk from the 18th to the early 20th centuries. A number of architectural monuments of this key city for Eastern Kazakhstan have historical and cultural value for the history of regional architecture. The methodology of the article's research is based on the analysis of valuable, in architectural and artistic terms, historical buildings, as well as on the analysis of academic literature. In the stylistic and artistic orientation of the city's architecture, trends such as the"brick" style, eclecticism with interpretation of "order" styles, and eclecticism with elements of Art Nouveau can be traced. Сharacteristic feature of Ust-Kamenogorsk was a significant concentration of monuments in the city center, as well as in other cities (Semipalatinsk, Pavlodar), the historical building was dispersed. The architectural image of Ust-Kamenogorsk in the late XIX-early XX century was formed on the basis of the contrast between public buildings and single-story residential buildings, as well as on stylistic unity, the main artistic direction of which was the aforementioned eclecticism with a predominance of buildings in the "brick" style. The buildings and structures of industrial architecture, forming both the facade development of streets and organizing the urban space around them or creating significant urban accents due to their height, were also distinctive.
Traces of Jan Kochanowski in Eighteenth-Century Literary Theory and Epigrammatic Poetry
Authors: Vaškelienė Asta
Published: January 2025

The article addresses the relevance of Jan Kochanowski, a Polish-Lithuanian Renaissance poet, in the discourse of literary theory and in practical creative work in the eighteenth century. The first part of the article examines the manner and the extent that Kochanowski is mentioned in the most important printed poetic and rhetorical works of the period under scrutiny. The second part discusses some examples of eighteenth-century epigrammatic works written in Lithuania, looking for their points of contact with Jan Kochanowski’s literary tradition.The study reveals that Jan Kochanowski figures in the discourse of eighteenth-century literary theory as a writer of threni, satires, and dramas, but his example is not used to explain the theory of the genre of the epigram. Only Franciszek Dmochowski, the only one of the authors of poetics, mentions Kochanowski as a poet of witty epigrams (fraszki). Kochanowski’s epigrammatic tradition did not find any followers in eighteenth-century Latin epigrammatic poetry in the Grand Duchy of Lithuania, but the short jokes (żarty) may indicate its reception in the poetry in Polish of the second half of the eighteenth century.

As a result, their opinion is the next points: (1) a contemporary research in the sphere of economic methodology and philosophy of economics is a result “high-order reflection” that is characterized with “criticism” and typically aiming to canonize an emerging practice guided by those principles as good practice; (2) “normative revolution” is going in economics; (3) contemporary period of economic sciences is characterized with “empirical turn” - appeal to experimental economics, behavioral economics, neuroeconomics; (4) interdisciplinary investigations broadly introduce into practice of economics; these investigations realize in joints of economics and sociology, economics and physiology, economics and physics, etc. But in this discussion was absent the position of Russian economists which, probably, can formulate their own position on some questions, - including heuristic potential of concept “philosophy of economy”, interpreted in substantial sense as “philosophical problems of economy”.
THE ROLE OF IMMANUEL KANT IN THE CREATION OF PHYSICAL GEOGRAPHY AS A SCIENCE AND IN ITS TRANSFORMATION INTO A UNIVERSITY DISCIPLINE
Authors: APKIN Renate , TAISINA Emilia
Published: January 2025

In the year of the 300th anniversary of the German philosopher Immanuel Kant, scientists from all over the world are dedicating their research to his unprecedented work. The scientific worldview, which had been developing since ancient times, received its decisive form in the Age of Enlightenment, to which Kant belonged. It is well known that Kant’s doctrine of being and gnoseology were based on his encyclopedic scientific knowledge. In this regard, it seems compelling to emphasize his great merit in the birth and formation of geography, which has not yet been deeply developed in our literature. Such phenomena of terrestrial and “heavenly” nature as earthquakes, atmospheric currents, pelagic alluvium that created the soil, even the temperature of the Sun, received from Kant not only a description, but also an indication of their natural causes, which was an undoubted scientific feat. The creation of an entire corpus of works on geography was combined with Kant’s teaching it at the University of Königsberg for forty years.

« Et précisément à l'hôtel où j'avais rendez-vous » : figurations hôtelières de Marcel Proust et de son œuvre en chambre
Authors: Régnier Marie-Clémence , Saurier Delphine
Published: January 2025

This article studies the touristic appropriations of the figure of Proust set up in high-end hotel establishments. It highlights places, more or less directly linked to Proust's biography and work, through the proustian space of the room that the hotels contribute to construct as privileged. The analysis deals with the way in which the scenic and narrative devices implemented in these places construct effects of meaning and can generate an effect of verisimilitude disturbing both the scales of time (the Belle Époque and now) and of social context (tourism sector, literary field and world of museums), and the apprehension of a strict border between fictional illusion and reality (the work and the reference to the author).

This study aims to improve the learning outcomes of Al-Qur'an Hadits in class XII IIS 2 MAN 1 Kota Madiun through the implementation of the Mind Map learning model. The background of this study is the students' low understanding of the content of Al-Qur'an Hadits, which affects the achievement of the Minimum Mastery Criteria (KKM). This study uses the Classroom Action Research (CAR) approach with two cycles, each consisting of four stages: planning, action, observation, and reflection. In Cycle I, the Mind Map model was applied, but the results did not meet the KKM, with an average score of 64 and a learning completeness rate of 62%. Based on the reflection of Cycle I, improvements were made in Cycle II, including better explanations of the Mind Map model and revisions to the lesson plan. The results of Cycle II showed a significant improvement, with an average score of 76 and a learning completeness rate of 85%, which met the KKM. The conclusion of this study is that the implementation of the Mind Map learning model can improve students' Al-Qur'an Hadits learning outcomes. Further research is recommended to explore the use of Mind Maps in other learning contexts and to develop the use of technology in creating concept maps.
