The Effect of Digital Revolution in Business Operations: A Study of Small & Medium Enterprises in District Malakand and Swat, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Pakistan
Authors: Muhammad Arif  , Waseem Khan  , Dr. Badshah Hussain
Published: February 2025

In today's intensely competitive business world, companies need to adapt to stay relevant. When it comes to Industry 4.0 and digital transformation, there is currently no time for theoretical discussion or experimental initiatives. The results of this investigation into in what way Industry 4.0 technology disturbs the productivity of Pakistani SMEs are presented. The data was collected from district Malakand and Swat. SPSS multiple regression techniques have revealed that big data, cyber-physical systems & interoperability considerably improve business outcomes. Conversely, the internet of things had very little of an effect. This research offers helpful insights into the fields of Industry 4.0 and digital revolution, but it also suggests new areas of investigation and provides a foundation for further research. Since there hasn't been much research done in this field, the results will assist managers in defending their company's investments in IT infrastructure. Moreover, policymakers should make use of the current findings to create suitable plans for enhancing absorption capacities and building human capital in a digital environment that is always evolving. All things considered, this study broadens our knowledge of how businesses may leverage Industry 4.0 technology to attain sustained growth and competitiveness. By adopting these advancements, businesses in Pakistan can maintain an advantage over their rivals.
The Conflict between Personal Integrity and Societal Expectations: A Psychoanalytic Analysis of Mere Pass Tum Ho
Authors: Fazal Rabi  , Danyal Ahmad  , Altaf Hussain  , Wahab Ullah
Published: February 2025

This study uses Freudian psychoanalytic theory to analyze the psychological states, internal conflicts, desires, defense mechanisms, and the impact of financial issues on the characters of Mere Pass Tum Ho while exploring how these challenges confront social norms and mental health perceptions in South Asian culture. Data for this study was collected from selected episodes of Mere Pass Tum Ho, aired on ARY Digital, with English subtitles available on YouTube. The focus was on pivotal scenes that highlight the emotional and psychological struggles of the central characters named Danish, Mehwish, Shawar, and Rumi. The key episodes were analyzed and provided a rational view of the psychology of the characters, in addition to how they interrelated. The analysis of the study is framed based on the psychoanalytic theory by Sigmund Freud, particularly in id, ego, superego, and defense mechanisms. Such concepts were used in the interpretation of emotional responses and behaviors of the characters about various situations, especially in scenarios involving moral dilemmas, betrayal, and financial hardship. Results indicate that psychological struggles for characters are strongly determined by the tension between unconscious desires and societal expectations. Financial instability was discovered to intensify the emotional conflicts of the characters, which affected their decisions and relationships. Defense mechanisms such as rationalization, denial, and projection were also observed as coping strategies used by the characters to manage their internal conflicts. The study further recommends the interconnection of psychological, cultural, and social factors like how media narratives reflect and even shape societal values related to mental health.
The Hybrid Nature of Educational Infrastructure Development and Private Education Participation in North Korea
Authors:   Association for the Reunificational Education of Korea, Han Seung Dae , Kim Yong Hyun
Published: February 2025

This study aims to examine the hybridity of North Korea’s education system by analyzing the development of educational infrastructure and residents’ participation in private education under Kim Jong-un’s leadership. During the Arduous March of the 1990s, North Korea experienced the collapse of public education and the emergence of private education. In the Kim Jong-un era, the government has emphasized the knowledge economy and the information industry while actively working to develop its educational infrastructure.
This study first identifies key characteristics of these changes by analyzing trends in education budgets and case studies of educational informatization. Additionally, in-depth interviews were conducted to gain insights into residents' experiences with private education. Private education has been embedded within the conditions and environment of the public education system. Therefore, examining both public and private education together is crucial to understanding the current state of North Korea’s education system.
The findings indicate that educational expenditures have steadily increased. Investments have been concentrated on higher education rather than primary education, with significant progress in educational informatization observed in Pyongyang. This reflects a strategy of selective development. However, concerns over regional and structural imbalances persist. Private education functions as both a substitute for and a supplement to public education, and there is a growing trend of private education for hobbies and cultural enrichment.
The development of educational infrastructure in North Korea under Kim Jong-un’s leadership is a necessary step toward shaping the country’s future. However, if issues such as budget constraints, digital divides, and social inequality are not addressed, the hybrid and transitional nature of the education system—where public and private education are intricately intertwined—will inevitably persist.

Published: February 2025

This study aims to describe the principal’s leadership in improving teacher performance at SD Negeri 1 Kali Deras, as well as the supporting and inhibiting factors of the Principal’s leadership in improving the quality of teacher performance. Through a qualitative case study approach, this study aims to describe in detail the perspective of the Principal’s leadership in improving teacher performance. This study uses observation, interviews, and document studies to collect data. The data obtained were then analyzed through the process of reduction, presentation, and drawing conclusions. Data validity testing was carried out using triangulation techniques. The results of this study indicate that: 1) The principal’s leadership is quite good in improving teacher performance. They provide coaching, supervision, encouragement or motivation, and evaluation of teacher performance. The assessment of teacher performance shows quite satisfactory results, especially in planning, implementing, and evaluating learning; 2) the supporting factor is the strong support and motivation from the principal. Meanwhile, the inhibiting factors include the lack of Liquid Crystal Display (LCD) projectors and internet access, minimal teacher skills in managing classes and using various learning methods, and lack of discipline among teachers. The research results recommend that principals make improvements and provide guidance to teachers, so that the principal’s leadership in improving teacher performance can be implemented optimally.

PREVENTIVNE MERE NASILJA NA SPORTSKIM PRIREDBAMA
Authors: Stanković Aleksandra
Published: February 2025

Nasilje navijačkih grupa na sportskim terenima, a prvenstveno na fudbalskim stadionima i oko njih je u stalnom porastu. Kada imamo dilemu zašto je huliganizam najviše vezan za fudbal onda je potrebno da se vratimo u prošlost i analiziramo tradiciju nasilja koja je pratila fudbalske utakmice. Pri tome postoji jedan stereotip, da su engleski fudbalski navijači najekstremniji. Ali oni nisu nikako usamljeni primer, već su samo prvi bili ekstremna indikacija jednog, sada već utemeljenog pravila ispoljavanja navijačkih strasti. Incidenti se stalno ponavljaju i to ne samo kao nehatno ili organizovano nasilje, već i u obliku različitih kriminalnih aktivnosti. U tekstu je naglasak stavljen na prevenciju nasilja. Rad treba da podstakne javnu raspravu u borbi protiv huliganizma i nasilja na sportskim priredbama. Smanjenju navijačke svesti i popuštanju psiholoških kočnica doprinosi između ostalog i obilno konzumiranje alkohola, nezrelost i neprosvećenost.
Another Approach for Calculus of a Statically Determined Beam with Cantilever and with One Intermediate Support for Application of a Dental Bridge with Mesial Extension and One Missing Tooth through the Transfer-Matrix Method
Authors: SUCIU Mihaela
Published: February 2025

The problem of continuous beams with intermediate support treated through the Transfer-Matrix Method is very special and interesting. This paper presents a study for an application of a statically determinate beam with cantilever and with an intermediate support. This approach is applied in orthodontics. The application of this research was made for a case study of a dental bridge with two adjacent poles and with only one missing tooth, because dental restorations are very important not only from an aesthetic point of view, but especially for mastication and therefore, for the health of the entire human body. A case study was presented of a dental bridge in mesial extension assimilated with a statically determined beam with cantilever and with an intermediate support. The two poles of the dental bridge are assimilated as the edges of the beam and the missing tooth is the cantilever. The calculus and results were validated with those from the classical calculus in the Strength of Materials. In the future, through the Transfer-Matrix Method, other new and original case studies with different modeling and requests will be presented.

The Transfer-Matrix Method is very special and interesting for a lot of industrial fields. This paper presents a study for an application of rectangular long plate articulated at the two long borders and charged with an uniform linear load, that act on a line parallel to the long sides. The long rectangular plate is discretized in unit beams, a beam has width equal to the unit, thickness equal to the plate thickness and length equal to the plate width. The study is made for the unit beam in two cases: the first case, in which the load acts in a certain section x0 and the second case, a particularization of the first case, that is: the concentrated vertical force acts in the middle of the beam opening. All the elements for all state vectors for all the sections of the beam can be calculated and the stresses and the deformations in all sections of the beam too. By extension, the stresses and strains are calculated for the long rectangular plate articulated on both long borders. This work is original and very interesting for a lot of industrial fields.

Authors: Elmaryami Abdlmanam S. A. , Abdalrahman Al Hussain A. , Rahel Rahel G. , Ahmida Mahmoud Abdelrazek
Published: February 2025

In recent years, the energy production by wind turbines has been increasing, because its production is environmentally friendly; therefore, the technology developed for the production of energy through wind turbines brings great challenges in the investigation. The use of wind energy worldwide has overgrown in recent years to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Wind power is free, but the installation and maintenance of wind turbines still remain costly. Wind vitality is the second biggest wellspring of sustainable power source after hydropower. However, it has not yet accomplished full matrix equality with fossil vitality sources. In this work experimental design of small HAWT for home electricity has been designed and analysed in the laboratory at the Libyan Academy for Postgraduate Studies, Al-Bayda-Libya. Experimental work was used in this paper to evaluate the wind energy data in Al-Bayda, East of Libya. The field tests and measurements proved that the present turbine is efficient and has long life-time and needs minimum maintenance. Wind turbines convert wind energy into electricity. The efficiency of this conversion is measured by comparing the incoming winds speed and the output power. From the experimental work it was found that the present turbine is efficient, easy to construct and assembly, has long life-time and needs minimum maintenance, suitable for different sites such as urban, suburban, rural, and sea coast and the output power of the turbine covers the consumption of many electric devices.
Coupling-Decoupling: Textual Analysis of a Tik Tok Video on an Unconventional Marriage Proposal of a White Adult Heterosexual Male in Search of a Husband
Authors: Bantugan Brian S.
Published: February 2025

This paper aimed to understand the sociocultural and economic context of an unconventional TikTok marriage proposal video from 2022. By investigating the religious and ethical implications of the proposal, the study sought to expand the discourse of marriage in the age of social media, which amplifies unpopular and dissenting voices. The study analyzed one viral video of a white adult heterosexual male, using textual analysis and literature review. The video was transcribed via kome.ai and analyzed for key points made by the speaker. Findings were cross-referenced with literature on popular marriage arrangements (Judeo-Christian-Muslim and traditional arranged marriages) and less common ones (platonic marriage, civil marriage, and domestic partnership). The ethical principles of autonomy, beneficence, non-maleficence, and justice were examined to evaluate the ethical soundness of the proposal, also considering human dignity and self-determination. Results revealed that multiple commitments among mutually consenting adults challenge traditional norms but reflect diverse ways to seek fulfillment. The proposed marriage between two heterosexual males aligns with ethical principles but depends on mutual understanding. This new marriage proposal offers an unconventional approach to addressing intimacy and relationship gaps among males by emphasizing personal autonomy, freedom from traditional expectations of exclusivity, and focusing on practical benefits rather than emotional intimacy.

Effect of Grit-blasting and Primer on Bond Strength of 3D-printed Permanent Restorations
Authors: Kariper Engin , Cilingir Aylin
Published: February 2025

Purpose: To investigate the microtensile bond strength of two different resin cements with primer combinations and grit-blasting on 3D-printed permanent resins. Methods: Sixteen specimens were designed using computer-aided design software, and resin blocks were created in 10 x 10 x 5 mm dimensions. The specimens of 3D-printed restorations were divided into eight groups (n = 2). The groups are 1-) G-Cem One (GCO) with G-Multi Primer (GMP), 2-) Panavia V5 (PV5) with Clearfil ceramic primer plus (CCPP), 3-) GCO with GMP and adhesive enhancement primer (AEP), 4-) PV5 with CCPP and Panavia tooth primer (PTP), 5-) Grit-blasting and G-Cem One (GCO) with G-Multi Primer (GMP), 6-) Gritblasting and Panavia V5 (PV5) with Clearfil ceramic primer plus (CCPP), 7-) Gritblasting and GCO with GMP and adhesive enchament primer (AEP), 8-) Gritblasting and PV5 with CCPP and Panavia tooth primer (PTP). Grit-blasting groups, air abraded for 10 s at a 45 ° angle at a distance of 10 mm with a pressure of 1.5 bar. Subsequent to this, surfaces that have undergone the same treatment process are then cemented together. The build-ups were sectioned into beams (1 mm x 1 mm x 10 mm) under water cooling using a low-speed saw (n = 12). To obtain microtensile bond strength (µTBS) specimens following water storage at 37 °C for 24 h. Bonded specimens were subjected to shear load using a load cell of 60 N in a Universal Testing Machine until failure at a cross-head speed of 0.5 mm/min. The bond strength was calculated using force values obtained during tests (τ = F/A). Following debonding, the failure types were examined under a stereomicroscope at ×30 magnification and classified as adhesive, cohesive in 3D-printed permanent restoration, or mixed. Results: With regard to surface preparation, there were statistically significant differences in µTBS values between the subgroups of the G CEM groups (Gr 1, 3, 5, 7) and the Panavia groups (Gr 2, 4, 6, 8) (p = 0.001; p < 0.05). No statistically significant difference between the control groups was observed in µTBS values (p = 0.627; p > 0.05). The µTBS of group 3 were higher than group 4 (p = 0.001; p < 0.05). 1. It has been demonstrated that grit-blasting enhances the µBTS of 3-D printed permanent resins, with a considerable increase in bond strength in the grit-blasting in comparison to the control groups. 2. The µBTS values for 3-D printed resin were observed to be higher when additional primers were used compared to the control groups. 3. The additional primer groups GCO + GMP exhibited significantly higher µBTS values. Clinical significance Understanding the complex interactions between adhesive resins and 3D-printed composites may be critical to guiding the production of new materials that enhance adhesion. In particular, 3D-printed resin materials can better withstand chewing forces in the mouth and extend their clinical life.

Specialized chicken toys are effective in relieving stagnant egg production for stressed layer hens
Authors: Nawar Anika , Sultana Sahin
Published: February 2025

Chickens are becoming common household pets in the United States. Although they provide eggs and companionship, they also invite additional financial strains resulting from common health issues, such as stress. In chickens, stress can appear as behavioral fatigue and an overall lethargic physical appearance. We examined associations between laying hens’ distressed behavior, interactions with specialized handmade chicken toys, and resulting egg production rates. Knowing that chickens may be naturally drawn to colorful items and interaction with them can combat stress, we hypothesize that stressed hens who interact with Free Feathers Foundation’s handmade chicken toys for three weeks will yield higher egg production rates at the end of that period than hens who do not have access to such enrichment. We observed at two different test locations that there was a statistically significant difference in egg production rates between stressed hens who received specialized chicken toys and those who did not. Hens who were part of the experimental groups and received enrichment demonstrated higher average egg counts per week as opposed to the control groups which received no toys during the interaction period. Statistically significant differences between each group’s initial and final egg production rates (number of eggs per week) and behaviors were observed when chickens interacted with the handmade toys. Free Feathers Foundation’s handcrafted toys may be cost-effective alternatives for inaccessible enrichment options for low-income chicken owners if their hens are suffering from stress, which may boost egg production for initially stagnant egg producers.

Surgical wound infection (SSI) is an infection that occurs in surgical incision wounds. Complications in surgical incision wounds often occur due to tissue cessation so that there is a gap for microorganisms to enter. Pseudomonas aeruginosa is one of the microorganisms that causes the most infections in surgical wounds. To avoid and suppress infection, antibiotics play a role in reducing morbidity and mortality. However, inappropriate use of antibiotics can increase bacterial resistance. Indonesia is a country with natural resources that are widely used in traditional medicine. One of them is the use of Kapok Randu leaves (Ceiba petandra (L.) Gaertn). Kapok Randu leaves contain antibacterial compounds such as flavonoids, alkaloids, saponins and tannins. This study aims to determine the minimum concentration of Kapok Randu leaf extract (Ceiba petandra (L.) Gaertn) as an antibacterial against Pseudomonas aeruginosa bacterial isolates originating from surgical wound infections. This study is an experimental study, using the well method to test the killing power of ethanol extract of kapok randu leaves against Pseudomonas aeruginosa isolates. The results of the antibacterial power test of kapok randu leaf extract found that at concentrations of 10%, 30% and 50% there was no suicide zone, while at concentrations of 70%, 90% and 100% a suicide zone was formed with a diameter of 9 mm, 10 mm and 12 mm. it can be concluded that the minimum bactericidal content (MBC) of Kapok Randu leaf extract (Ceiba Petandra (L.) Gaertn) against Pseudomonas aeruginosa bacteria at a concentration of 70% with a diameter of 9 mm.

The role of international and domestic processes is examined to clarify factors and constraints behind the quality changes in the Czech national greenhouse gas inventory (GHGI) system. Timing of the article is relevant as the world is preparing to report under the Paris Agreement at the end of this year, and need for sharing lessons learned is acute. Method and materials include results of the case study research on the Czech GHG inventory developments. In-depth interviews with the sector experts, which led to preparation of the first ever Quality manual for the Czech GHGI, provide insights to constraints and factors as do the notes from the annual QAQC workshop (WS) with Slovakian experts. Recent legal and scientific changes have already affected Czechia’s reporting processes, while international cooperation within the Capacity Building Initiative for Transparency – CBIT and International Assessment and Review – IAR have facilitated positive qualitative changes for the Czech national GHGI system. The main resulting material to evaluate progress is a compiled table of UNFCCC review recommendations given to Czechia in recent reviews, and compiled observations from the UNFCCC review tool (iVTR), as well as the EU review tool (EMRT) to Czechia. Effect of different legal and scientific drivers can be observed in the compiled review results table. The review of recommendations itself acts as significant driver for the GHG inventory development. In concluding, the most significant single enabler of improvements has been the National research program THETA by the Czech Technology Agency (TA CR). Identified constraints include uncertainty of continuity of long-term research funding to implement planned improvements and losing of human resources and know-how by high turnover of skilled workers in the GHGI team.
