Personalized spiking neural network models inform learning histories of choice behavior
Authors: Plessas Anna , Espinosa-Ramos Josafath I. , Parry David , Landon Jason , Cowie Sarah
Published: October 2023

Learning history can provide insights into behavioral patterns; depending on the history's details, the prediction of an artificial model can assist in pointing to the unique contingencies each individual experienced. In this study, we build upon the single-neuron SNN model predictions developed by Plessas et al. (2022) by using a personalized modeling approach to incorporate individual differences based on novel binary choice behaviors (datasets) trained in frequently changing environments. Our approach represents an advancement that accounts for generalization (across different participants and learning histories). Furthermore, personalized prediction (more precisely, retrodiction) outperformed conventional machine-learning approaches to generalization. The results showed that when using a small 'window' of observational data, an AI tool can provide insights from analyzing the spatiotemporal information contained in individual or across-individual datasets. The retrodictions revealed the potential role of time elapsed and reinforcer discriminability captured by the spiking activity represented by the firing rates of the neuron, allowing it to adapt. This novel approach offers insights for retrodiction to deepen our understanding of complex patterns for simple operant behavior. These findings further strengthen machine learning's potential value as a tool for both therapy and research.
Regional syntactic variability in the complementation system of global varieties of English. Routledge
Authors: Romasanta Raquel P.
Published: October 2023

This paper investigates the non-categorical variability between anterior and simultaneous finite that-clauses and non-finite -ing clauses following the verb REGRET in seven varieties of English, using data from the 1.9 billion-word Corpus of Global Web-Based English (GloWbE). Multidimensional aggregational analyses and random forest analyses are used to determine the extra-linguistic factors that account for the similarities and differences between English varieties in the frequencies of use of complementation patterns, plus the intra-linguistic factors, both semantic and syntactic, affecting such choices. Results reveal that the principle of maximization of transparency, with an increased preference for finite patterns in postcolonial varieties, seems to be behind the distribution of finite and non-finite patterns in these varieties. The geographical proximity of some of the varieties and their individual evolutionary development appear to be very notable factors for the complementation systems, as are the intra-linguistic factors considered. Substrate influence is also considered in the discussion, but results do not confirm its effect on the alternation.

Classification of the genus Cympobogon is mainly determined by the morphological characteristics, the smell of the essential oil and the concentration of bioactive compounds present in the essential oil. However, this method is affected by the environment. Identification based on DNA barcoding results the high accuracy at the species level. In this study, the authors amplified and compared the two chloroplast DNA regions (rbcL and matK) and the nucleus region (ITS) of 3 lines of Tay Giang citronella. The obtained sequences of each gene were similar between the three lines of Tay Giang citronella, indicating the 3 lines of Tay Giang citronella had the same origin. Compared with other Cymbopogon species, rbcL showed 1 polymorphism, matKshowed 10 polymorphisms, and 40 polymorphisms were found in the ITS sequence. However, these DNA barcodes were not enough to accurately identify Tay Giang citronella. In combination with ITS sequence analysis and essential oil components including citronellal, citronellol and geraniol, Tay Giang citronella was identified and authenticated into the species Cymbopogon winterianus Jowitt.

A CONCEPÇÃO DE DEMOCRACIA E DE DIREITOS FUNDAMENTAIS NO CONSTITUCIONALISMO LIBERAL DE ALEXIS DE TOCQUEVILLE
Authors: Leite Leonardo Delatorre , Junqueira Michelle Asato , Moraes Gerson Leite de
Published: October 2023

Alexis de Tocqueville (1805-1859) foi um pensador francês de fundamental importância para o desenvolvimento de uma visão holística acerca da democracia e de suas características distintivas. As análises do filósofo em questão contribuíram de forma nevrálgica para uma cosmovisão jurídica centrada na defesa dos direitos fundamentais, do constitucionalismo, dos preceitos da legalidade e legitimidade. Destarte, tamanha importância de Tocqueville que chegou a receber o título de “pai da sociologia” segundo Raymond Aron. Sendo assim, quem procura analisar a essência axiológica da democracia necessariamente deve estudar os escritos tocquevilleanos. O respectivo trabalho acadêmico apresenta como aspecto teleológico primordial a apresentação das dimensões elementares do pensamento de Alexis de Tocqueville acerca da democracia, tendo em vista apresentar um panorama sobre as características, os perigos e fragilidades da sociedade democrática, objetivando fortalecer as bases axiológicas e constitucionais da defesa do regime centrado na promoção dos direitos e garantias fundamentais. Fundamentado sob a metodologia de abordagem dedutiva, o trabalho foi construído com a utilização de fontes bibliográficas.

DE LA INSTRUCCIÓN AL ROL DOCENTE: UNA INNOVACIÓN DIDÁCTICA
Authors: MASTRANGELO NATALIA BARRACO
Published: October 2023

Este trabajo se enmarca en un conjunto de reflexiones de una práctica educativa en el contexto de la formación docente en la enseñanza policial uruguaya. Pretende presentar algunas preguntas clave como disparador de diversas problematizaciones sobre la cuestión de la pedagogía y la didáctica en el ámbito profesional de la enseñanza policial del Uruguay.  Se trata de un análisis del curso de Instructores Policiales 2021-2022, propuesta formativa de la Escuela Nacional de Policía perteneciente al Ministerio del Interior, Uruguay. El objetivo de dicho curso se refiere a brindar herramientas pedagógicas y didácticas a policías que pretenden formarse para ser formadores policiales. En este sentido, esta ponencia hará referencia al proceso de conceptualización de la didáctica policial en el contexto de una reestructura institucional que da cuenta de cambios a nivel conceptual, metodológico, político y ético.  El curso de “Instructor Policial” engloba desde la propia nominación una concepción de sujeto pedagógico y de rol docente, involucrando principalmente una concepción instrumental, basado en la cultura y tradición de la enseñanza policial donde la concepción educativa hegemónica implica básicamente “transmitir” conocimiento, poniendo hincapié en el docente y no en la relación docente-estudiante. Esto no quiere decir que se deja de lado la concepción instrumental, ya que la Didáctica involucra necesariamente no sólo “cómo debo ser” sino  también “cómo debo proceder” (Antelo, E. Alliaud, A, 2011: 22) y agregan estos autores: “Una enseñanza se refiere a lo que da señas. quien enseña hace señas, señaliza. en ese sentido, enseñar es casi como mostrar”  (Antelo, E. Alliaud, A, 2011: 22).

Authors: AKYOL Taner , DÜZENLİ Tolga
Published: November 2023

Aims: There are conflicting results for the course of the disease and mortality rates for liver transplantation patients infected with COVID-19. In this study, we aimed to present the outcomes of our liver transplant patients who were hospitalized and followed up in our tertiary hospital, which served as a pandemic hospital for COVID-19.

Methods: Patients hospitalized with the diagnosis of COVID-19 between March 1, 2020 and March 1, 2022 in Sancaktepe Şehit Prof. Dr. İlhan Varank Training and Research Hospital and Prof. Dr. Feriha Öz Pandemic Hospital were included. In this retrospective observational study, the clinical data of the patients, the need for intensive care hospitalization, and mortality rates were recorded by hospital computer system. The relationships were analyzed with SPSS v20.0.

Results: There were 25996 patients who were hospitalized with the diagnosis of COVID-19 and 28 of them were with the history of liver transplantation. Ages of the liver transplant patients ranged from 18 to 73, with a median age of 52. 82.1% of the patients were male and 17.9% were female. Intensive care unit hospitalization rate was 25% and mortality rate was 14.3%. The relationships according to the age groups revealed that all of the women were under the age of 50 (p=0.008) and the patients who deceased were male patients over the age of 50 (p=0.044).

Conclusion: Mortality rates and intensive care unit requirements of chronically immunosuppressed liver transplant patients with COVID-19 infection were similar with general population. Complete immunosuppression withdrawal should not be urged in this population.
MEASURING AIR QUALITY IMPACTS OF GREEN AREAS AND ECOSYSTEM SERVICES (ESS) USING WEB-BASED I-TREE CANOPY TOOL: A CASE STUDY IN ISTANBUL
Authors: ÜSTÜN TOPAL Tuğba , DEMİREL Öner
Published: November 2023

In this study, it was aimed to evaluate the regulating ecosystem services for improving the air quality provided in the Kuzguncuk Neighborhood, which is located within the borders of Üsküdar district of Istanbul province. In this context, 5500 random points were identified within the boundaries of the research area by using the i-Tree canopy tool, which is a web-based tool. The land cover represented by each point is grouped into five classes: i) Tree/Shrub (tree and tall shrub vegetations), ii) Grass/herbaceous (areas covered with herbaceous vegetation, iii) Soil/Bare Ground (soil surface with little or no vegetation), iv) Impervious Surfaces (building, structures, asphalt, impervious roads, etc.) and v) Water (areas with streams or stagnant water). According to these classifications, the annual amount of carbon sequestered by the tree-shrub canopy in the Kuzguncuk neighborhood, the amount of CO₂, the amount of carbon they stored over their lifetimes, the amount of CO₂, and their economic contribution have been calculated. Additionally, the amount of significant air pollutants removed by this canopy, such as carbon monoxide (CO), nitrogen dioxide (NO2), ozone (O3), sulfur dioxide (SO2), and particulate matter PM2.5 and PM10, and the economic benefits of removing these pollutants have been determined. The results showed that trees sequestered 855.93 tons of CO2 annually and stored 21,495.71 tons of CO2 in the neighborhood, 46.05% of which is covered with canopy. However, it was calculated that 69.94 kg of CO, 381.39 kg of NO2, 3,798.45 kg of O3, 240.34 kg of SO2, 184.57 kg of PM2.5 and 1,272.34 kg of PM10 particulate matter were removed from the atmosphere in a year by the vegetation cover. It has been calculated that the economic contribution provided by this removal is $ 2,251 per year. This study reveals the ecological and economic importance of green spaces for ecosystem services studies in urban areas by considering a neighborhood scale in determining the ecosystem services provided by the canopy cover. It is thought that the numerical values obtained in this sample region will contribute to urban planning strategies in terms of green infrastructures for future studies.

Authors: USLU KAPLAN Nebile , ALKAN Muhammet Fatih
Published: October 2023

Son yıllarda eTwinning projeleri hem ulusal hem uluslararası bağlamda giderek yaygınlaşan uygulamalardan biri hâline gelmiştir. Ancak eTwinning projelerinde görev almanın öğretmenlerin mesleki yeterliklerine ne tür bir etkisi olduğuna ilişkin yeterli çalışma bulunmamaktadır. Bu kapsamda bu çalışmanın amacı eTwinning projelerinin öğretmen yeterliklerine katkısına yönelik öğretmen görüşlerini incelemektir. Tarama modelinde desenlenen araştırmada kartopu örnekleme tekniği ile belirlenen 189 öğretmen katılımcı olarak yer almıştır. Araştırmanın verileri, Millî Eğitim Bakanlığı tarafından 2017 yılında yayınlanan Öğretmenlik Mesleği Genel Yeterlikleri temelinde oluşturulan anket ile toplanmıştır. Anket içerisinde 33 kapalı uçlu ve üç açık uçlu madde yer almıştır. Elde edilen nicel veriler frekans ve yüzde hesaplamaları kullanılarak çözümlenirken nitel verilerin analizinde betimsel analiz kullanılmıştır. Hem nicel hem nitel bulgular, eTwinning projelerinde yer alan öğretmenlerin, bu projelere katılmalarının kendi mesleki yeterliklerine olumlu katkılar sağladığını düşündüğünü göstermiştir. Bu doğrultuda en fazla olumlu görüş bildirilen boyut Öğretme ve Öğrenme Sürecini Yönetme olurken en az olumlu görüş bildirilen boyut ise Mevzuat bilgisi olmuştur. Sonuç olarak, öğretmen görüşlerine göre, eTwinning projeleri öğretmenlerin mesleki bilgi, mesleki beceri ile tutum ve değerlerden oluşan mesleki yeterliklerinin gelişmesine yardımcı olmuştur. Elde edilen bulgular doğrultusunda, başta Millî Eğitim Bakanlığı olmak üzere öğretmen mesleki yeterliklerini iyileştirme amacı güden kurumlar ve üniversiteler, eTwinning projelerine verilen önem ve desteği artırma yoluna giderek mesleki yeterliklerin geliştirilmesine olanak sağlayabilir.
Using Universal Kriging for Spatiotemporal Data of Soil Pollution with Metals in Al Karama Industrial Area in Mosul City
Authors: Ali Mai Hussein , Dhahir Ghanim Mahmood
Published: October 2023

The current research tackles the performance of Spatiotemporal Interpolation Techniques using the Kriging Technique after relating it to time, which is introduced to the Prediction Process as the reliable mathematical formula to obtain the best performance of a proposed mathematical model. This study's main objective is to evaluate the best Unbiased Linear Prediction Technique with the slightest variance of error through mathematical equations that are derived and related to time.

In this study, the researcher used Spatiotemporal Data of Soil Pollution with minerals in the industrial zone in Mosul city with the actual locations. The data consists of (192) real observations of Arsenic (As) and Chrome (Cr) in the AL Karama Industrial Zone, and this data represents the depth with the actual locations. The Kriging Technique and Kriging Covariance through the mathematical formula are related to time in this research. A function for the place was applied, namely, the variogram function that represents the difference between the observations, as this function was determined for all the directions of the compass, and its parameters were estimated. Through the covariance and the standards of error, it was concluded that the ideas of the Mathematical Spatiotemporal model express the positivity of the proposed model amongst the models of the Covariance functions, such as the Spherical model and the Exponential model, which are approximate models from the principal point of view to the characteristics of the Kriging mode. We also recommend entering three-dimensional data to obtain a proposed mathematical model or data for infectious diseases and atmospheric gas Pollution, using other Spatiotemporal Prediction methods and linking them with artificial intelligence and Fuzzy methods. All the calculations were conducted using the MATLAB Language.

Published: October 2023

Assessment and the grading of students is a task that has been done for as long as school has existed. This was previously done by teachers in primary and secondary, lecturers for institutions like JAMB and lecturers in schools. Up until now students’ marks were influenced by other external factors such as bad handwriting, lengthy paragraphs, roundabout way of speaking rather than going straight to the point and the sheer number of assignments the lecturer has to mark. This has resulted in students getting lower or higher marks than they should be awarded. This project is to create an ML (Machine Learning) powered assessment system that will take the assignment questions and the marking scheme and award the student the marks similar to what the ideal lecturer would have given. This will also reduce the time the lecturers spend on marking and ensure the students get their results on time. This project will be made with Python and machine learning and will be tested with a number of potential answers to the questions and their grading’s. This will enable system to be able to grade assignments as soon as they are uploaded. This research will be limited by the fact that the system can only handle the marking of short sentences accurately and not long paragraphs. The system is also limited by the fact that it can only mark with the aid of the marking scheme and not without it so it is not a truly intelligent model in that regard. The research showed that the system is indeed capable of obtaining the similarity between two paragraphed answers provided but it needs extras to produce the most accurate results.

РОЗРОБКА ТА РЕАЛІЗАЦІЯ ПРОЕКТУ «ПСИХОЛОГІЯ ТА ДУХОВНІСТЬ» ДЛЯ НАДАННЯ КОМПЛЕКСНОЇ ПСИХОЛОГІЧНОЇ ДОПОМОГИ ДІТЯМ
Authors: КЛИМЕНКО Іван
Published: November 2023

Анотація. Актуальність. Війна є однією з найстрашніших подій, яка впливає на психічне здоров’я дітей. Вони відчувають стрес, тривожність, страх та інші негативні емоції внаслідок небезпеки для свого життя і життя близьких. Ці емоції можуть призвести до психологічних проблем, таких як посттравматичний стресовий розлад, депресія, агресія та інші. Діти потребують особливої уваги і психологічної підтримки під час війни. Їхня психіка ще не повністю сформована, і вони не завжди можуть адекватно вирішувати свої емоційні проблеми. Тому важливо мати спеціалізовані програми та фахівців, які надають дітям необхідну допомогу. Їхнє психічне здоров’я і духовний розвиток мають велике значення для створення мирного та стабільного суспільства в майбутньому. Забезпечення психологічної допомоги дітям в період війни допомагає зберегти їхню психічну стійкість і здоров’я для подальшого внесення внеску у суспільний розвиток. Забезпечення психологічної допомоги дітям під час війни є важливим з гуманітарного погляду. Це питання не тільки стосується безпеки та фізичного благополуччя дітей, але й їхньої духовності та психічного стану. Недостатня психологічна підтримка дітей під час війни може мати серйозні соціальні наслідки у майбутньому, такі як зростання злочинності, навчальної відсталості, проблем із соціальною адаптацією тощо. Це може вплинути на загальний розвиток суспільства. Також війна може призвести до розриву сімей, розлучень і загибелі батьків. Діти залишаються без опіки та підтримки. Проект «Психологія та духовність» допомагає дітям знаходити внутрішню силу та опору в таких складних життєвих обставинах. В сучасному світі діти також стикаються з екологічними кризами, такими як природні катастрофи і зміни клімату. Ці кризи можуть спричиняти страх та тривогу у дітей, і психологічна допомога стає необхідною для їхнього психічного стану. Отже, проект «Психологія та духовність» для надання комплексної психологічної допомоги дітям під час війни має важливий соціальний, гуманітарний і психологічний виміри, і він вирішує актуальні проблеми, пов’язані з захистом психічного здоров’я дітей у військових конфліктах.
«La muerte tiene permiso». Ensayo sobre las medidas de contención de los migrantes en tránsito por México como necropolítica
Authors:   Johannes Gutenberg University Mainz, Guevara González Yaatsil , Megchún Rivera Rodrigo ,   Universidad Autónoma Chapingo
Published: November 2023

Se analiza la política de contención de la migración de tránsito que tiene el Estado mexicano como una necropolítica. Esto es, correspondiente a la autoasignación de personal de gobierno de la decisión —y el tratamiento correspondiente— de qué sec-tores de población pueden vivir y persistir y cuáles otros pueden ser separados, deteni-dos o eliminados. En este marco, también se analizan las medidas de control sanitario para los migrantes en tránsito durante la pandemia de covid-19. De conformidad con el análisis de Achille Mbembe, se plantea que la necropolítica migratoria es parte de un necropoder más amplio de escisión poblacional, extensión del crimen organizado, mercantilización de personas y ejercicio de múltiples violencias, así como de la irregu-larización y el despliegue de categorías racializantes como algunos de los principales mecanismos que permiten dar un tratamiento excluyente a los migrantes. Este es, ante todo, un ensayo analítico basado en datos empíricos producidos en recorridos por zonas de alto flujo de migrantes (el centro del estado de Chiapas) y por una investigación etnográfica más amplia en albergues para migrantes del sureste de México. La principal conclusión es que la migración internacional es irrefrenable precisamente debido al necropoder más amplio, que decanta en la configuración de regiones y territorios de expulsión, zonas de ralentización y de eliminación, y países de destino caracterizados por la explotación de los migrantes no regularizados.

Authors: ÖZDOKUR Seyhan
Published: October 2023

Nutrition is one of the actions that people take in order to survive. This act of feeding differs in every society and in every geography. Therefore, the gastronomic difference arising from this difference includes many local products. The province of Erzincan is located on a transition point as well as hosting many communities. Therefore, it combines different flavors. One of these delicacies is the dish of zaarafat. Zarafat is one of the local products that has been forgotten and no one makes it nowadays. Therefore, there is no study on this subject in the field of gastronomy. The aim of this study is to write down the consumption and production style of elegance food, to present it and to transfer it to the younger generations. Interview technique, one of the qualitative data collection methods, was used in the research. In the research, it was possible to interview 6 people, 5 housewives and 1 retired civil servant, living in the province of Erzincan, face to face and by phone. The fact that most people do not know about Zarafat has caused a decrease in the number of people. Information about the history, recipe, how it was made, the tools and equipment used, which meals were consumed, and the way of serving were collected from the participants. In the light of this information gathered, it is thought that it is important to bring the elegance dish to the light, include it in production, introduce it and transfer it to new generations. As a result of the study, information about the content of the elegance and how it is made was obtained. According to these results, elegance exists and its recipe has been obtained.

The Dialogic, Unfinalizable, and Heteroglossic in William Golding’s Lord of the Flies (1954): A Bakhtinian Reading
Authors: Dohan Abbas Murad
Published: October 2023

As a persistently profound source of inspiring ideas, William Golding’s Lord of the Flies (1954) continues to attract researchers with novel concepts and notions to be addressed. Whenever researchers seem to have exhausted the text in critical writings and used up its possible subjects, the novel’s supply of ever fresher and more original ideas seems to keep flowing. Therefore, the current research study intends to examine certain concepts such as dialogism, unfinalizability and heteroglossia in Lord of the Flies from a Bakhtinian perspective, which is a new approach to the novel. No research study before this one has—to the best knowledge of the researcher—addressed Lord of the Flies or these concepts from such an angle. As the title suggests, the present study explores the concepts mentioned earlier by examining the diversity, difference, and variety of characters in the novel, their views and ideas on numerous issues such as leadership, survival, rescue, fire, hunting, masking and the like. It employs Bakhtin’s views and theorizations as a theoretical reference outline for its main argument. The analysis of the paper will address the diversity, variety and multiplicity of different views, plural opinions, and assorted narrative voices as demonstrated by the novel’s characters to show their dialogic, unfinalizable and heteroglossic nature.

Background: Acid Violence is one of the worst form of violation of basic human rights and a major public health issue. Though the prevalence has dropped dramatically after the enactment of two important laws against this crime in Bangladesh the victims in this country are still leading a disastrous life. The present study aimed to identify the score of Quality of life and to find out the coping strategies among acid victims.
Methods: This cross sectional study was conducted from July to September, 2019 among purposively selected 101 acid victims in four districts of Bangladesh. Data was collected through face-to-face interview by using SF-36 Health Related Quality of Life scale and Brief Cope Inventory (Carver).
Results: About 82% of the acid victims were female, 51.49% were illiterate, income of 69.3% respondents were below 5000 Taka, 80.2% got married before the age of 18 years. Apart from Physical functioning (63.66±32.124) and Social functioning (60.89±39.198), all the domain of the QOL score remains below 30, the score of General health is 27.97±30.791. Active coping was followed a lot (43%) among all the other coping strategies. There was positive correlation with active coping and social functioning(r=0.359, p=0.000) and physical functioning (r=0.288, p=.003).
Conclusion: Even after many years of the violence, the acid victims have not regained a good quality of life. Community support and frequent motivational campaigns can help the acid victims to cope up with their situation more positively and thus improve their quality of life.

Several vaccines from SARS-COV-2 are used in Russia, which have successfully passed all the stages of testing and showed their effectiveness.

Purpose. The study was aimed to clarify the manifestations and course, severity of COVID-19 in SARS-CoV-2 vaccinated and unvaccinated patients.

Materials and methods. 62 patients treated in an infectious hospital with a positive test for SARS-CoV-2 were examined. When selecting groups, the pseudorandomization method was used. Clinical symptoms of the disease, anamnesis data, results of pulse oximetry, computed tomography of the chest, clinical blood analysis, transaminase levels and hemostasis indicators were found out in all the examined patients.

Results. The study showed that unvaccinated patients were hospitalized in a more serious condition, with significantly more pronounced volume of lung tissue damage and hypoxia. In the group of unvaccinated patients, there was a significantly higher incidence of liver damage and an increased risk of thrombosis. Unvaccinated patients had a significantly lower percentage of comorbid pathologies, and the vaccinated group was dominated by patients

Conclusions. Vaccination from coronavirus infection does not exclude the development of the disease, but significantly reduces the frequency of its severe course.

Currently, more than 1200 drugs of almost all pharmacological classes are known that can cause drug-induced liver injury (DILI). Antibacterial agents are responsible for almost half (45 %) of all DILI. In second place are psychotropic drugs and analgesics-antipyretics. And if DILI caused by antimicrobial drugs are unintentional and usually the result of an underestimation of drug pathology by doctors, then liver damage that occurs after taking psychotropic drugs or antipyretic analgesics, among which paracetamol stands out, is often the result of their deliberate use for suicidal purposes against the background of depression both in adults and in adolescents 12–17 years of age.
The Impact of Climate Change on Agricultural Employment, Evidence from South Asian Countries based on Pooled Mean Group Estimation of Dynamic Heterogeneous Panel
Authors: Uddin Md. Nadim , Mamun Abdullah Al
Published: October 2023

Being the most populous region, South Asia is home to one-fourth of the population in the world. Along with the aforementioned feature, South Asia is becoming one of the most climatic-hazard-prone regions on the planet. Hence, this study attempts to analyse empirically how economic performance and climate change affect employment in the agriculture sector. The study includes seven South Asian countries’ data, excluding the Maldives, from 1992 to 2021 by applying the most widely used Panel ARDL, which involved pooled mean group (PMG) estimation. In the short run, the effect of past-year employment and temperature is positive, whereas GDP per capita is negatively related to agricultural employment and rainfall is insignificant. However, in the long run, the error correction coefficient is significant, and overall data has been able to establish a long-run relationship. The study concludes that, with the long-run impact for each country, agricultural employment is negatively affected by GDP per capita and temperature. Lastly, the effect of temperature in the long run reveals that climate change has long-term impacts on agriculture employment. We believe that the findings of the study have important implications for policymakers in the future.

Nature of Democracy in the Political Leadership of Muhammad ﷺ: In the Context of Pakistan and Iqbal
Authors: Rasheed Bushra
Published: October 2023

The concept of democracy, as we understand it today, did not exist during the time of Muhammad (peace be upon him), the prophet[1] of Muslims, but evolved over time and is rooted in the principles of equality, participation, consultation, social contracts, and justice. Muhammad ﷺ has established these principles, and in this study, it is to be argued that the principles are democratic in nature. His leadership qualities have a significant link with the politics in Pakistan[2] and with the dreamer of this country, Iqbal. It is a descriptive study; the primary objective is to focus on exploring the democratic thoughts of Prophet Muhammad ﷺ through historical incidents from his life. The secondary objective is to explore Allama Iqbal’s thoughts on democracy[3], which are influenced by the political thought of Muhammad (PBUH). It is also argued that Iqbal, the spiritual father of the East, through his poetry, has emphasized the importance of social justice, individual freedom, and education; these are also the basic principles of democracy. The books and literature used for this research depict the political leadership qualities of the Prophet Muhammad and their impact on Pakistan. So, being the most influential leader of Muslims, the “thoughts” of Muhammad ﷺ are explored, which have the potential to bring positive changes to democracy in a country. For promoting democratic values in Pakistan specifically and in Asia in general, this study can play an authentic role. It will provide insights into the potential for democracy to create just and prosperous societies. It can be inspiring for individuals and institutions and would be a new piece of creation incorporating the leadership qualities of Muhammad (PBUH) and Iqbal’s thoughts on democracy and democracy in Pakistan. A triangle needs to be understood.[1] Muhammad, the prophet of Islam, lived in the 7th century in a different historical and cultural context, where the concept of democracy, did not exist as the political and social structures of that time were different, and decision-making processes were not necessarily based on democratic principles.[2] A country in South Asia, gained independence from British colonial rule in 1947 and adopted a constitution in 1956, which provided for a parliamentary form of government.[3] Allama Iqbal was a prominent philosopher and poet who lived in the 20th century and wrote extensively on a wide range of topics, including democracy, who also dreamt of Pakistan.
