Published: January 2025

Необходимость создания благоприятной архитектурной городской среды очевидна. Архитектурно-градостроительная деятельность в современном мире не является субъективным решением одного зодчего. Это сложный процесс. В усложняющемся мире имеет огромное значение правильно выбранная терминология. Это касается терминов, используемых с древнейших времен, терминов, изменившихся с течением исторических преобразований, появления новых терминов из русского языка и из иностранных слов. Важно дать точную формулировку применяемому термину именно в данной отрасли знаний, а также не допускать множественности терминов одного и того же значения. Щепетильность в профессиональной терминологии в области нормирования не может быть излишней. Всякая неточность или двоякое толкование может привести к непредсказуемым последствиям на практике.

The need to create a favorable architectural urban environment is clear. Architectural and urban planning activity in the modern world is not a subjective solution to one itching.

Authors: Napoleon Arrey Mbayong
Published: January 2025

The aim of this research project is to contribute to the socio-professional integration of people with disabilities in Cameroon: diagnosis and courses of action. As the scientific literature shows, entrepreneurship among people with disabilities is an alternative to salaried employment, which is difficult for this category of people to access. It is an important aspect of professional integration. According to the results of empirical research, promoting entrepreneurship among people with disabilities is an alternative to the barriers to access to employment for people with disabilities. This document summarises the results of a non-exhaustive literature review on entrepreneurship by people with disabilities in 4 points: (1) The current state of research into entrepreneurship by people with disabilities; (2) Reasons for entrepreneurship among people with disabilities; (3) Barriers to entrepreneurship for people with disabilities; (4) Emerging strategies to promote entrepreneurship among people with disabilities. To access the articles analysed, we download 105 documents (scientific articles and reports from international organisations). By applying the selection criterion relating to the relevance of the content of these documents to our research question, only 46 articles were retained for systematic analysis. On the basis of a critical analysis of the results of previous research on entrepreneurship by people with disabilities, we conclude by suggesting the following emergence strategy corporate enterprises owned by people with disabilities. This strategy aims to ensure better management of the vulnerability caused by the low level of start-up capital of people with disabilities, especially in developing countries where the number of salaried jobs available is very low.

Published: January 2025

Bangladesh has been profoundly impacted by the COVID-19 epidemic since March 2020. It affected various age groups, occupations, and communities. Due to lockdowns, social distance, self-isolation or quarantine, medical services crises, job losses, and future uncertainty, most of the people suffered physically and mentally. Especially, long-term shut down of educational institutions and uncertainty in educational activities led the students into psychological distress, even sometimes into psychological disorder. This study aimed to investigate the overall scenario and psychological status of the students during the COVID-19 epidemic. Through a questionnaire survey, 464 responses were collected from university students who were selected by following a snowball sampling method. The questionnaire contained the Generalized Anxiety Disorder (GAD-7) scale. Results indicated that a significant number of the students (76.6%) were experiencing anxiety. Students' anxiety was significantly influenced by their educational level, where delay and uncertainty about earning a bachelor's or master's degree raised anxiety levels. Besides, female students were found more likely to be severely anxious. However, place of residence, changes in family income, lived at during epidemic, got COVID-19, and relative or acquaintance got COVID-19 had no significant effect on their anxiety. This study suggested that universities should prioritize mental health resources with flexible learning environments and foster a sense of community to help students recover and thrive in a post-pandemic world. And the government and educational institutions should work together to address and resolve this regard.

Abstract
In accordance with Article 6 of Regulation (EC) No 396/2005, the applicant Agro‐Kanesho Kabushiki Kaisha submitted a request to the competent national authority in Greece to modify the existing maximum residue level (MRL) for the active substance acequinocyl in strawberries. The data submitted in support of the request were found to be sufficient to derive an MRL proposal for strawberries based on the indoor GAP. Adequate analytical methods for enforcement are available to control the residues of acequinocyl in strawberries at the validated LOQ of 0.01 mg/kg. Based on the risk assessment results, EFSA concluded that the short‐term and long‐term intake of residues resulting from the use of acequinocyl according to the reported agricultural practice is unlikely to present a risk to consumer health.

Authors: Jha Kushagra Aditya
Published: January 2025

Cybersecurity is a major worry for individuals, corporations, and governments as digital technologies grow more prevalent. Cyberattacks are becoming more complex & dynamic, making traditional methods of threat identification and prevention inadequate. In the realm of cybersecurity, AI mostly serves to detect and prevent threats. By utilizing machine learning techniques & extensive data analysis, artificial intelligence may identify patterns and irregularities in network traffic and user behavior that could suggest a possible cyberattack. One way AI can help stop assaults is by using predictive modeling. Also, by looking at previous attacks and finding similarities, AI can anticipate such dangers and take precautions to avoid them. Artificial intelligence plays a crucial role in cybersecurity by enabling the creation of automated incident response systems. In order to minimize interruption and damage, these systems can analyze data, detect possible dangers, and then take action to either limit or lessen the impact of an attack. For cybersecurity purposes, businesses must use AI to safeguard their networks & confidential data from evolving cyber threats. In today's digital world, AI is quickly becoming an essential tool for effective cybersecurity due to its real-time data analysis capabilities and capacity to automate incident response. AI has several applications in cybersecurity, such as threat detection & prevention, which will be covered in this study.

THE EVOLUTION OF CLASSICAL POLITICAL PHILOSOPHY: FROM PLATO TO MACHIAVELLI
Authors: Verma Durgesh
Published: January 2025

Examining the evolution of classical political theories with respect to the contributions made by eminent political philosophers from Plato to Machiavelli, this study emphasising the importance of pragmatic administration, virtue, and constitutional government, contrasts Aristotle's political realism with Plato's idealism focused in the idea of philosopher-king and his vision of a desirable society. The study then moves to the Middle Ages, underlining the impact of St. Augustine's Christian political philosophy, which offered a dualistic perspective of heavenly and earthly government, therefore affecting the interaction between church and state. At last, the research revolves on Niccolò Machiavelli, who broke with the moralistic approaches of his contemporaries to advocate political pragmatism and realism. Machiavelli's ideas on power, leadership, and the division of ethics from politics in The Prince and Discourses on Livy placed modern political realism starting with statecraft and survival above idealistic elements. By means of a comparison of these thinkers, the research reveals how the idealistic notions of Plato gave way to Machiavelli's pragmatic approach whereby power and adaptability were vital for political success. The study also examines the different ways during these centuries power, morality, and authority influenced political systems. The study underlines how still today classical political philosophy shapes contemporary political institutions and methods. It finishes with highlighting the continuous relevance of these ideas in contemporary political discourse and provides suggestions for next study on the evolving character of political philosophy. This analogy highlights the basic contributions made by every thinker as well as the procedures guiding the foundation of present political philosophy.

SOCIAL CLASS AND INEQUALITY IN A DYSTOPIAN FUTURE: A STUDY OF KLARA AND THE SUN BY KAZUO ISHIGURO
Authors: Deka Kishor Kumar
Published: January 2025

Kazuo Ishiguro’s Klara and the Sun (2021) presents a dystopian future where social class and inequality are amplified by technological advancements, particularly in the realm of artificial intelligence. The novel’s protagonist, Klara, an Artificial Friend (AF), provides a unique lens through which we can examine the intersection of technology and socio-economic stratification. Through Klara’s observations of human interactions, we are introduced to a world where access to resources such as education, health, and even the potential for human "elevation" are determined by one's social class. This paper explores how Ishiguro critiques class inequality and social division through the experiences of Klara and the characters surrounding her. It argues that Klara and the Sun highlights the consequences of a hyper-competitive, technology-driven society, wherein social mobility is limited, and the gap between the privileged and the marginalized is only exacerbated by technological innovations. Drawing on socio-economic theory and literary analysis, the paper examines how the novel critiques the dystopian world’s stratified social structure, using AI and biotechnology as metaphors for the dangers of an unequal society.

Microfinance institutions (MFIs) have become effective instruments for advancing economic growth, poverty reduction, and financial inclusion. MFIs enable people, especially women, to launch companies, enhance their standard of living, and become financially independent by offering small loans and financial services to underprivileged populations. Financial services like loans, savings accounts, insurance, and training that are given to low-income people or groups without access to traditional banking services are referred to as microfinance. Many people believe it to be an effective instrument for reducing poverty. The foundation of microfinance was the belief that by providing credit and other financial assistance to the poor, they would be able to develop and start making a life, which would help them escape poverty. Microfinance is the most effective tool for the economic empowerment of rural inhabitants and a crucial element in the battle against poverty. The study makes an effort to examine how microfinance affects rural residents' quality of life.
