Getting the Ghet: Analyzing the Need for State Intervention in Canadian Jewish Divorces
Authors: Lavy Lea
Published: August 2023

A commitment to religious freedom involves respecting the individual’s spiritual choices and obligations. However, to regard a religious community as an association that members join and quit at will is to miss both the value of religious association and its potential to limit, and sometimes even to oppress, its members (Moon, 2008). Through analysis of the judicial reasoning in several Canadian Supreme Court cases, I argue in this article that the courts are justified in ruling to protect vulnerable group members from oppressive or unjust religious rules, and that the state is justified in legislating such protections. In the private sphere, most religious systems impose patriarchal norms on family life (Becker, 1999). In Judaism, the Jewish Orthodox rabbinical courts have exclusive control over marriage and divorce. These courts almost always grant to men full control over divorce, which results in gender-based discrimination and violation of female human rights. Under Jewish law, Halacha, divorce is not a judicial act and may be achieved only at the husband’s will. When the man refuses to divorce, the wife has no religious recourse and is known as agunah, or "chained wife." She is unable to continue her life without a ghet, the religious annulment of the marriage, and civil divorce or subsequent marriage are not viable options according to Jewish traditions. Practices surrounding the ghet often ignore the woman’s rights, rights that should be protected by the state and upheld by its courts. In this context, the role of the state is to alleviate women’s disadvantages; as such, secular legal authorities, comprising actors in both the legislative and judicial systems, should be obligated to ensure equal and fair treatment for women, even in the sphere of religious tradition.
The Perfect Weed for this Spoiling Soil: The Ideology, Orientation, Organization, Cohesion, Social Control, and Deleterious Effects of Pseudolaw Social Constructs
Authors: Netolitzky Donald
Published: August 2023

Pseudolaw is a system of not-law rules that has become broadly disseminated, worldwide. Pseudolaw promises its users extraordinary empowerment, via a secret law that is concealed from the public. This article introduces pseudolaw, its known characteristics, and discusses the relationship between pseudolaw and religion. The social character and organization of pseudolaw populations and individual users is only poorly understood. This article introduces six studies on that subject, collected in this special issue of the International Journal of Coercion, Abuse, and Manipulation.
The Social Phenomenon of Romana Didulo: "Queen of Canada"
Authors: Sarteschi Christine
Published: August 2023

Romana Didulo is a conspiracy theorist who claims to be the ruler of Canada, despite all evidence to the contrary. She has a fairly large following in social media. Her movement, though not easily categorized, can best be described as a combination of QAnon, sovereign citizen/pseudo-legal, conspirituality, and anti-vaccination motifs. This overview explores her belief system, her origins, the evolution of her movement, and the behavior of her followers. This review finds that Didulo poses two main kinds of threats. She: 1) encourages followers to engage in vigilantism, and 2) has created a pool of desperate people who have had their utilities shut off, and lost their vehicles and homes. People are suffering as a result of her edicts.
Jesus Built My Strawman: The Church of the Ecumenical Redemption International and “minister” Edward Jay Robin Belanger
Authors: Netolitzky Donald
Published: August 2023

The Canada-based Church of the Ecumenical Redemption International [CERI] falsely purports to be a community of strict King James Bible literalists. CERI’s religious claims are a strategic mask for the “church’s” true nature and objectives. CERI is a “legal cult,” a group organized around a central guru figure: “minister” Edward Jay Robin Belanger. This fake church’s doctrine combines stereotypic pseudolaw concepts derived from the US Sovereign Citizen movement, conspiratorial anti-government and anti-Semitic beliefs, with passages from the 1611 King James Bible. CERI and Belanger make no faith-based promises, but, instead, claim that a combination of esoteric paperwork, proclamations of Christian status, and demands for international treaty-based religious accommodation, grants CERI’s members special and extraordinary advantages (e.g., to defy and neutralize government authority, eliminate debts, and escape sanction for criminal misconduct). This study investigates CERI and Belanger’s nearly 25-year history of pseudolaw and criminal activity, using 21 Canadian legal proceedings conducted between 2009 2019 to develop a profile of CERI’s followers, CERI litigation tactics, and to explore the usually short-lived relationships between Belanger and his followers. CERI is the most aggressive and litigious Canadian pseudolaw group, but CERI adherents and Belanger consistently fail in court. CERI and Belanger are relevant to the developing understanding of the broader social impact and operation of pseudolaw, as an example of a long-duration but small population group. While many pseudolaw groups are true social communities, CERI functions primarily as a parasite/host pairing, where Belanger exploits those who adopt CERI strategies. This legal cult of personality operates chiefly within the broader Canadian pseudolaw ecosystem, but in a marginal, though remarkably persistent, manner.
“I hereby and herein claim liberties”: Identity and Power in Sovereign Citizen Pseudolegal Courtroom Filings
Authors: Griffin David
Published: August 2023

While the documents produced by members of the Sovereign Citizen movement are not legitimate legal documents, there is a distinctly legal character to them. This article examines the ways that Sovereign Citizen pseudolegal documents acquire that legal-seeming character by considering the degree to which the language present in them resembles that of documents written by actual attorneys. A comparison of a corpus of Sovereign Citizen documents filed in an American courthouse to a corpus of attorney-authored documents obtained from that same courthouse reveals that the authors of the pseudolegal courtroom filings (PCFs) examined are generally adept at identifying those features of legitimate courtroom filings (LCFs) that most clearly differentiate them from documents written in more “general” varieties of English. These Sovereign Citizen authors do more than simply imitate, however; they frequently heighten or in some way emphasize those features of LCFs that appear to them to be the most legally or authoritatively salient. By considering both the features of LCFs that have been heightened in this way and those features of PCFs that have no immediately clear legitimate legal analogue, several trends become apparent: 1) PCFs are highly and perhaps primarily concerned with establishing the identity and power of their authors as individuals; 2) PCFs frame judges and other representatives of the legitimate legal system as a single collective out-group; and 3) PCFs present their authors as the wielders of true legal authority while simultaneously, if implicitly, acknowledging the real-world power that the legitimate legal system wields over them.
ACADEMIC WRITING: CHALLENGES AND WAYFORWARD A PERSPECTIVE FROM UNDERGRADUATE STUDENTS
Authors: Wangchuk Nima
Published: August 2023

Student perceptions of what constitutes good academic writing (AW) in higher education often differ. This is reflected in written assignments, which frequently fall below the expected standard. In seeking to develop the writing skills of students and propose potential solutions to writing difficulties, a study was conducted in Gedu College of Business Studies, (GCBS) Royal University of Bhutan. (RUB). This paper reports the findings generated using unmoderated focus groups of second-year students and third-year students of Bachelor of Business Administration (BBA) & Bachelor of Commerce (B. Com) GCBS. The findings indicated that students’ perceptions of what constitutes AW differed. The barriers to academic writing that were identified were lack of time and confidence, lack of extended writing, lack of reading and understanding of academic texts or journals, referencing and academic jargon.
BLURRED CONCEPT OF NATION IN AMITAV GHOSH’S WORKS
Authors: Acharjee Dr. Suman
Published: August 2023

This article highlights the frailty of the concept of nation. And to prove that one it brings into light the existence of porous zone in a particular nation. Porous zone in a particular nation becomes a safe zone of illegal migration and immigration and as a result of it each and every nation remains alert in guarding the porous zone of that nation. This paper investigates the influence of porous zone through the analysis of Amitav Ghosh’s works on the essential aspect of nation. Not only this, it brings into light the constructed feature of nation which needs constant guarding. The demanded unity behind the concept of nation gets blurred when we find the influence of another ideology beyond border on the subject of a particular nation in spite of the existence of constructed ideology of that nation itself. Thus it proves that nation as concept is vulnerable to change. As long as nation as a concept is able to mitigate the demands of its subjects, people remain loyal to this concept. As soon as nation as a concept fails to stand on the expectation of its subjects, people start revolting against this. And this is what can be proved through the demands of separate states in a particular nation or through the revolution of citizens against its hegemonic structure. This growing globalized society deconstructs all the designed features of a particular nation through which elites want to impose a homogeneous identity.

Authors: Madhavi Bolla , Nageswar Rao Dr. Konda
Published: August 2023

The paper explores the intersection of decolonization and ecofeminism, shedding light on the critical examination of these intertwined concepts. It delves into the multifaceted relationships between colonialism, gender, and the environment, aiming to challenge dominant narratives and present an alternative perspective on environmental justice and gender equality. Drawing upon a range of theoretical frameworks and empirical evidence, this study critically analyses the oppressive forces of colonialism and their impact on both marginalized communities and the natural world. It highlights the historical context of colonialism and its ongoing repercussions in terms of resource extraction, land dispossession, and ecological degradation. Moreover, the paper investigates how these processes disproportionately affect women and marginalized genders, amplifying existing gender inequalities and exacerbating environmental injustices. Through an ecofeminist lens, this research emphasizes the interconnectedness of social, ecological, and gendered systems, demonstrating how patriarchal and capitalist ideologies contribute to the exploitation of both women and nature. By uncovering these power dynamics, the study aims to deconstruct dominant narratives and offer a more inclusive and holistic understanding of environmental issues. Furthermore, the paper explores various strategies and movements within ecofeminism that seek to challenge and resist the impacts of colonialism. It examines the potential of ecofeminist thought and activism in fostering sustainable, equitable, and just relationships with nature, centering the voices and experiences of marginalized communities. Overall, this research contributes to the growing body of literature on decolonization and ecofeminism, providing a critical analysis of their intersections and implications. By deconstructing oppressive structures and offering alternative perspectives, it aims to inspire discussions, policies, and actions that foster environmental justice and gender equality, ultimately paving the way for a more inclusive and sustainable future.
THE COMPLEXITY OF HUMAN DESIRES IN SELECT WORKS OF KIRAN NAGARAKAR’S

“Pain may be the only reality but if mankind had any sense it would pursue the delusion called happiness. All the philosophers and poets who tell us that pain and suffering have a place and purpose in the cosmic order of things are welcome to them. They are frauds. We justify pain because we do not know what to make of it, nor do we have any choice but to bear it. Happiness alone can make us momentarily larger than ourselves
Assessment of Road Traffic Noise Differentials in the Land Uses of Jos, Nigeria
Authors: Haruna Lumi Zamani , Fasakin J. O.
Published: August 2023

The relationship between land use and traffic has been likened to the chicken and egg relation because of their inter-dependability. For instance, the way land is used affects the generation and character of traffic on the streets and roads corridors. This paper investigated the road traffic noise differentials in the land uses of Jos, Nigeria. Twenty-five (25) road corridors, five (5) in each of the selected land use were purposively chosen to constitute the sample frame for the study. Road traffic noise data were collected at the sampled locations along the selected road corridors using Graiger TL-200 digital Sound Level Meter at 1.5 accuracy level and measured range of 30-130 dB. The road traffic noise data were collected three times a day during peak hour periods, 7:00 - 9:00 am, 12:00 noon - 2:00 pm, and 4:00 - 6 pm from Monday to Saturday. Noise data were measured for 15 minutes at an interval of 6 seconds in each location for six days, making a total of 18 records per location. The RTN data was analyzed using descriptive statistics and regression analyses. The findings of this study revealed that, there was a significant mean difference in RTN levels in the land uses of Jos. This paper therefore, recommends land use dispersal, markets and commodity specification within Jos as a strategy for reducing road traffic noise.

Історичні передумови сучасного воєнного конфлікту
Authors: Дворянов В. П.
Published: August 2023

У статті вирішено соціально значущу проблему розуміння сутності cучасного воєнного конфлікту. Зокрема, досліджено загальні принципи ведення гібридної війни та розглянуто стан наукової розробки феномену гібридної війни. Необхідність зумовлена повномасштабним вторгненням російської федерації в Україну та руйнуванням міжнародної системи безпеки, створеної після Другої світової війни. Без подальшого поглиблення вивчення механізмів гібридної війни проблематично забезпечити стабільність держави та суспільства. Раніше гібридна війна розглядалася більше як «спадкоємниця» холодної війни, ніж як новий вимір міжнародного збройного конфлікту. Це була своєрідна боротьба всіляких терористичних, кримінальних та інших організацій, у тому числі недержавних, учасники яких об’єднані в якісь мережеві структури, нижче порогового рівня традиційної війни. Тому передбачене законодавством України визначення гібридної війни потребує змін.

Authors: Kumar Mr.T.Senthil
Published: August 2023

Abstract-Due to increased digitization and the advent of new technologies such as the Internet of Things, the use of machine learning (ML) algorithms is rapidly expanding (IoT). ML algorithms are being used in healthcare, IoT, engineering, finance, and other fields in today's digital world. However, in order to predict/solve a specific problem, all of these algorithms must be taught. There's a good chance that the training datasets have been tampered with, resulting in skewed findings. As a result, we have proposed a blockchain-based approach to protect datasets generated by IoT devices for E-Health applications in this article. To address the aforementioned issue, the proposed blockchain-based solution makes use of a private cloud. For assessment, we created a solution that dataset owners can use to secure their data.
Deception Detection and a Survey on Social Media
Authors: V Shashikumar
Published: August 2023

Social media is an online technology and platform that enables people to produce, distribute, and interact with other’s material and ideas. It includes a broad range of websites and programmers that encourage social engagement and communication via various digital channels [1]. False information spreading on social media is a problem with significant consequences. Due to the abstract nature of social media platforms, which has an impact on many areas of society, false information may spread swiftly on them [3]. Common instances of misinformation include misinformation news stories, doctored images and videos, click-bait headlines, conspiracy theories, health misinformation, political propaganda, and pranks [5]. By addressing the issues caused by misleading information on social media and taking action against them, we can work to create a more informed and trustworthy digital environment. We hope to create new research opportunities and enable the extensive research in this field to be promptly used in practical settings. In this research paper we will study about detection of deception on social media and problems related to deception.

Payroll Loans and Debt Among Public Servants in Brazil
Authors: Gonçalves Guilherme Campos , Souza Junior Celso Vila Nova de , Cabello Andrea Felippe
Published: August 2023

This paper analyzed the effect of sociodemographic variables on the probability of indebtedness of public servants, focusing on the contracting of payroll loans by NEDF servants in the period from 2013 to 2019. Our main contributions to the literature were the use of hard-to-access database, consisting of information obtained from official systems of the Brazilian federal government and the addition of a new variable, alimony deduction, not previously considered by the literature. Our main conclusions are that older individuals, with a greater number of dependents, with higher real income and who pay alimony are more likely to have taken out a loan. Females, on the other hand, are less likely to have taken out a loan. Marital status can also affect this probability, with committed individuals with a higher chance of contracting a loan compared to single individuals.
Real Options in the Brazilian Power Generation Sector: Are Domestic Equity Research Analysts Blind-Sighted or Is It Just a Temporary Glitch?
Authors: Gonçalves Marcio Santiago , Colombo Jefferson A.
Published: August 2023

The Real Options theory (“ROT”) states firms should be approached as a combination of real assets and real options. Domestic equity research analysts do not seem to evaluate companies applying ROT. After reviewing 344 (from a total estimated 368) equity research reports or analyses on Brazilian listed power generation companies produced between December 31, 2020, and April 30, 2021, we find only discounted cash flow (“DCF”) techniques are applied. No single mention to ROT is made. To estimate the magnitude of potential misvaluations, we use the Black-Scholes method to price the growth plans made publicly available by each of those 15 companies in that period and compare the outcome with the analysts’ forecasted equity value upside per company. Our results suggest local analysts have ignored a sizeable intrinsic value to those companies by failing to apply ROT. Potential explanations range from behavioral biases to low power sector representativeness at IBOVESPA.

Published: August 2023

The main purpose of this study is to examine the relationship between board diversity and firm value in firms in the manufacturing and non-manufacturing sectors listed on Bursa Malaysia. The methodology of this study utilized 200 samples of Malaysian listed companies from 2014 to 2016. The board diversity variables in this study were gender, age, educational level, outsider director, and nationality. Diversity data were collected from the annual report, while all financial data, such as firm age, firm value, and firm leverage, were collected from the Eikon database. The findings show that educational level has a negative relationship with firm value, while outsider director has a positive relationship with firm value in the manufacturing sector. In the non-manufacturing sector, gender and nationality have positive relationships with firm value. In conclusion, the manufacturing industry needs outsider directors’ expertise to improve production operations. A higher level of education may lead directors to focus on fewer business aspects rather than the overall business. The non-manufacturing sector requires knowledge and skills that enhance customer satisfaction and thus increase firm value. The practical implication is that regulators such as Bursa Malaysia can enforce boardroom diversity through rules and regulations, which will affect firm value.

The primary focus of studies in recent decades has been on multiple intelligence and critical thinking, which are frequently considered the main aspects in enhancing second language (L2) learners' skills. This study examines the extent to which English language teachers employ successful intelligence skills according to the following variables: years of experience, gender, and educational level. The study sample consisted of 123 teachers of English in Ma'an, Jordan, who were chosen randomly. Palos' and Maricutoiu’s scales were used to collect data. The results of the study indicated that the average total score for the teachers' successful employment of intelligence skills was moderate, with a mean of 3.66. "Reproduction" scored high with a mean of 3.86; "analytical intelligence" scored high with a mean of 3.80; "creative intelligence" scored average with a mean of 3.64; and "practical intelligence" scored medium with a mean of 3.35. There were no statistically significant differences attributable to years of experience, while there were differences attributed to gender in favor of females in all domains except for ‘creative intelligence’ which was in favor of males. There were no educational level differences in the degree of "successful intelligence" employment in teaching. This calls for the need to employ modern teaching methods to develop teachers professionally, such as teaching based on reproduction, analytical, creative, and practical intelligence. The study recommends providing pre-service and in-service training to improve new teachers’ competencies in employing intelligence skills based on creativity and practical teaching because they are important in teaching a foreign language.

The aim of this study was to examine the English language learning motivation of Pakistani students by viewing ethnicity, gender, and culture because Pakistan is multi-ethnic and cultural country with wide dimensions. The study was examined with reference to UN directed 17 sustainable development goals, with special reference to Goal No 4 related to education. A sample of 602 participants from 39 Pakistani public and private sectors’ universities was taken as participants of this research. The research was done by adapting a questionnaire as a research tool, and L2 motivational self-system was taken as a theoretical framework. The collected data via questionnaire response was statistically analyzed by using SPSS 26 software. The results indicated that in Pakistan, all four types of internal motivational structure, i.e., immediate achievement, learning situation, intrinsic interest, and personal development, existed in students of English as second Language learners’ motivation. The highest value among the four factors of motivation was 2.57 in personal development factor, and the lowest mean value was in learning situations. There is no significant statistical variation among gender in all four types of motivational structures. In English learning motivation, urban students were comparatively higher motivated in all motivational internal factors. Furthermore, only Pathan and Kashmiri students had a significant variation, and the motivation of Pathan ethnicity was higher than Kashmiri in all motivational aspects. This research would be a useful insight for English teachers and students in an intracultural environment infused with ethnicity and multi-gender student population.

Biochar is a promising solution for pesticide pollution and soil degradation in agriculture. It improves fertilizer efficiency by increasing nutrient availability, and acts as a slow-release fertilizer. Biochar enhances soil fertility by retaining nutrients, and increasing organic matter, water retention, and microbial activity. It also shows potential in pesticide degradation through chemical, and microbial processes. However, the sorption of pesticides on biochar can hinder degradation. Factors like feedstock, pyrolysis temperature, and application rate influence biochar's nutrient retention capabilities. Understanding these factors is crucial for optimizing biochar's effectiveness in agricultural systems.

Published: August 2023

The advent, consolidation and even seamless practice of Islam in different places are greatly connected to the efforts of some individuals who took drastic initiatives that brought about cohesion and compatibility between the texts (Qur’an and Hadith) of Islam and the reality of times and places. Shaykh Adam is one of those pragmatic scholars with outstanding reforming zeal for Islam in Yorubaland. He devised different means to halt the increasing waves of ignorance and nominalism among Muslims. He also unites Muslims in the region under one umbrella. His personality and the approaches he adopted in turning Yorubaland into an abode of Islam have however received less attention from scholars, especially of English background. This paper, therefore, aims at discussing his personality and assessing his approaches in the bid to make Islam a household religion in Yorubaland. The historical method is adopted to achieve the objectives of this paper. The findings revealed that Shaykh Adam remains one of the foremost and outstanding scholars in the areas of teaching, preaching and writing across Yorubaland with accomplishments that have not been equalled or surpassed by anyone. Also, it is discovered that the nerve centre of his activities is Markaz through which he dismantled the barriers of ignorance vis-à-vis Arabic language and Islamic education in Yorubaland. He also brought Yoruba Muslims under one umbrella courtesy of Rabitah. The paper, therefore, concluded that Shaykh Adam is a scholar of note with enduring landmarks across not only the Yorubaland or Nigeria but also the Muslim world.
The Authorship of Sayyidī Shaykh Muhammad ʿUthmān ʾal-Burhāni (d. 1403/1983) and the Impact of his Religious Dissemination through Divine Proximity
Authors: Basit Qari Abdul
Published: August 2023

In researching the rich and diverse Sufi culture of the Arab world, I came across the unpublished work of Sayyidī Shaykh Muhammad ʿUthmān ʾal-Burhāni. (d. 1403/1983). This was surprisingly unexplored in previous research, and no formal publication capturing this fascinating work has been released yet. Sayyidī through these teachings significantly contributed to the development of religious dissemination, which gained a massive following in Sudan and Egypt and ultimately reached followers all over the world. His teachings go beyond emphasizing mere divine proximity for Muslims but they also provide a profound sense of purpose for individuals who still hold onto their ancestor's religion, inspiring them to embrace Islam. This serves as a guiding light, directing followers towards the path of divine legislation (sharīʿah) through the power of divine love (ʾal-ḥubb), while the cultivation of this love propels individuals towards the ultimate divine reality (ḥaqīqa). In addition, he answered questions in his sermons (durūs) from various fields of knowledge, and for this reason, many scholars of his time including from ʾal-ʾAzhar sought to attend his gatherings, where he spoke about the sciences of the Qurʾan from different aspects. This research intended to unveil the impact of his religious dissemination and the introduction of his authorship, which has yet to be documented.
