A mosque is a sacred place designated for the exclusive use of the Muslim community. In accordance with Indonesian and Malaysian scholars, mosques during the time of Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) functioned as economic and zakat hubs. This appears to defy the prophetic teaching that prohibits any commercial activity from taking place in a mosque. Therefore, this research will investigate these claims. This study using genetic methodology and assess them based on historical methodology utilising hadith literature. The study’s findings contradict the belief that the mosque served as an economic and zakat distribution (charitable donations) hub during the time of Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him). No evidence from hadith or Islamic historical perspective substantiates either of the arguments. The scholars have not found any indication of a report or hadith associating the mosque as a hub for zakat. As for the economy centre, a genetic method revealed that experts had cited a statement indicating that the mosque served as a hub for developing Islamic economic concepts and systems instead of a trading centre. According to several evidence from the hadith, a mosque is more correctly described as a social welfare centre.

The objective of this research was to determine the effectiveness of Discord as an educational resource to promote teamwork in sixth grade primary school students. The design was pre-experimental, with a sample of 35 children between 11-12 years old. The technique was the survey and the instrument was the questionnaire to measure teamwork. The statistical test used was Wilcoxon's W. The results demonstrate improvement in the development of teamwork in the dimensions of leadership, communication and empathy, thus proving that the Discord platform optimizes interaction and collaboration between students. It is concluded that the Discord platform as an educational resource is effective in the development of teamwork, according to the Wilcoxon test, obtaining a p value lower than the proposed significance (0.00<0.05), which suggests that there is a significant difference between the entrance questionnaire and exit after the experiment.
Judicial Judgment Standard of Generative Artificial Intelligence and Training Data from the Perspective of Fair Use
Authors: Gao Zhenyi
Published: May 2024

With the development of generative artificial intelligence, text and data mining has been put into more applications. However, as a technology for collecting and processing a large number of other works, it faces copyright infringement under the current legal system. As a step in the operation of artificial intelligence, text and data mining is to collect and process existing works and information to realize the behavior of knowledge "reproduction", thus promoting the utilization of knowledge and social innovation. Meanwhile, copyright exemption should be provided for its fair use system. The fair use system in the United States can give full play to the autonomy of judges in specific cases and flexibly identify fair use exemptions, while the copyright exception in Europe clarifies that text and data mining activities should be exempted under specific circumstances. Learning from both, China can not only break the closed fair use system, but also build an evaluation system of artificial intelligence infringement and benefit-sharing mechanism, so as to provide scientific norms for fair use and improve the development of artificial intelligence and big data industry in China.

Analysis of Image Interaction and Social Motivation in Virtual Communities
Authors: Wang Ke
Published: May 2024

The purpose of this paper is to explore the relationship between image interaction and social motivation in virtual communities, and take Instagram and TikTok as case studies. First, the conceptual characteristics of virtual communities and the defined forms of image interaction are analysed, and then the classification of social motivation and its impact on user behaviour are explored, as well as the role of image interaction in shaping the social ecosystem, the social atmosphere and the user's social network. In Instagram, image interaction behaviours were found to be positively correlated with user engagement, increasing users' exposure and social influence. In TikTok, on the other hand, social identity based on image interaction was closely related to user satisfaction, promoting user loyalty and stickiness to the platform. In summary, image interaction, as an important form of social behaviour in virtual communities, has a positive impact on the development of the community and the social experience of users, but it also needs to pay attention to issues such as information security and content regulation.

Successful Use of Lidocaine in the Management of Severe Flécaïne Poisoning Refractory to Conventional Treatment
Authors: Matouk M , Benaissa FH , Chettibi F , Ait Amirat M
Published: May 2024

Introduction: Intoxications with class Ic antiarrhythmics, such as flécaïne, are rare but potentially life-threatening. We report a case of severe flécaïne poisoning where the use of lidocaine, a class Ib antiarrhythmic, enabled effective management of refractory rhythm disturbances. Methods: A 22-year-old female patient was admitted for voluntary flécaïne poisoning after ingesting 2 g. She presented with shock, ventricular fibrillation, and torsades de pointes refractory to conventional treatment (cardioversion, magnesium sulfate, bicarbonates, amiodarone). Results: After initial treatment failure, a lidocaine loading dose successfully resolved refractory ventricular rhythm disturbances. Continuous administration of lidocaine subsequently stabilized the patient's hemodynamic status and reduced the need for vasopressors. Discussion: While the use of lidocaine is traditionally contraindicated in poisoning with class Ic antiarrhythmics due to the risk of drug interactions, this case demonstrates its potential value in refractory situations. Lidocaine may have a competitive effect on sodium channels, thereby reversing the toxicity of potent inhibitors such as flécaïne. Conclusion: In severe flécaïne poisoning refractory to conventional treatment, the use of lidocaine can be a life-saving therapeutic option when extracorporeal clearance techniques are not available.

Authors: Ahmed Elhag Mustafa Amal Yousif
Published: May 2024

The pectoralis major is a broad muscle that originates from the medial part of the clavicle, anterior surface of the sternum, from the cartilages of all the true ribs and from the aponeurosis of the abdominal external oblique muscle. The study was conducted on 10 cadavers (7 male and 3 female). These specimens were dissected and examined to study the gross anatomical characteristics of the pectoralis major muscle. The dimensions of the pectoralis major muscle and its surface area were measured in all the cadavers. The branching pattern of the thoracoacromial vessels was recorded. The pedicle length and caliper were measured using Vernier calipers. In all twenty dissected specimens, the pectoral and deltoid branches of the thoracoacomial artery were identified. The average size of the elevated flap of the pectoralis major muscle was 10 cm×6.5 cm. In this study, the average diameter of the thoacoacomial artery was 2.3 mm, and along its course, the thoracacomial artery gave rise to two terminal branches the pectoral and deltoid arteries that supply the pectoralis major muscle and the surrounding structures. The average length of the deltoid pedicle was 6.8 cm and the average length of the pectoral pedicle was 7.5 cm. The current study focuses on the anatomical features of the pectoralis major muscle and its blood supply to increase the success rate of operations in clinical practice.

Salt stress negatively affects crop survival, growth, development, and yield. Methyl salicylate (MeSA) is synthesized from salicylic acid (SA) which is a volatile organic compound that is responsible for inducing defense mechanisms in plants and also has a protective role in stress sensitivity. The objective of this study was to examine the effect of different concentrations of methyl salicylate (MeSA) on the physiological and biochemical characteristics of two rice varieties GRIS4 (G1) and GRIS5 (G2) under salt stress at the seedling stage. Five hundred seeds of each variety were treated with different doses of MeSA (0, 0.1, 0.5, and 1.0 mM) and screening various salinity levels (0, 6, 8, 12, 15, and 17 dS m-1) at the seedling stage (21 days old). The different traits such as survival rates, morphological characteristics including plant height and root and length, the biomass of fresh and dry weights of the shoots and roots, and biochemical parameters (chlorophyll a and b, proline, and phenolic and flavonoid content) were measured. Treatment 0.1 mM MeSA had significantly higher root length and dry weight under 8 dS m-1, 6 dS m-1, higher chlorophyll and phenolic content under 17 dS m-1 for G1, whereas the 0.1 mM MeSA-treated plants had significantly higher root length under 15 dS m-1 and root fresh weight under 12 dS m-1 for G2 compared to control plants. The 0.5 mM MeSA-treated plants had significantly higher seedling length, survival rate, root fresh weight, and shoot fresh weight under 8 dS m-1, 6 dS m-1 then also had higher proline and flavonoid content under 17 dS m-1 for G1, while G2 had higher shoot dry weight under 17 dS m-1, higher root fresh weight under 8 dS m-1, higher proline content under15 dS m-1, and higher phenolic and flavonoid contents under 12 dS m-1 compared to control plants. Treatment 1.0 mM MeSA had higher survival rate under 6 dS m-1, seedling length under 15 dS m-1, shoot fresh weight under 6 dS m-1, root dry weight under 8 dS m-1, chlorophyll a under 15 dS m-1, and chlorophyll b under 8 dS m-1 compared to control plants. These results showed that positive effects induced by MeSA increased some physiological and biochemical traits of rice under salt stress at the seedling stage.

Contemporary human-made activities are responsible for the emission of more than 30 billion tons of carbon dioxide (CO2), a greenhouse gas, into the atmosphere. The current study's primary purpose is to examine the key elements that contribute to the elevated levels of the release of CO2 into the environment in Pakistan. The research used Pakistan's annual data spanning from 1970 to 2020, along with the STIRPAT (Stochastic Impact by Regression on Population, Affluence, and Technology) model. The relationship between the emission of CO2 into the atmosphere and other chosen factors is examined using the ARDL (Auto Regressive Distributive Lag) model and the ECM (Error Correction Model). These models help to establish the credibility of the acquired findings. The paired Granger causality analysis revealed the presence of unidirectional and bidirectional cause-and-effect relationships between the named variable parameters in the activity under investigation. Pakistan must prioritize tackling the fundamental challenges afflicting its farming industry, particularly those pertaining to the efficiency of its livestock and crop production. The novelty of this study comes in its investigation of the interaction between hitherto undiscovered macro-level properties and the emission of CO2 into the environment of Pakistan. The findings may assist policymakers in formulating an environmental and agricultural strategy aimed at promoting the use of sophisticated low-carbon technology.
Natural Emergencies and Some Causes of Their Occurrence: a Review
Authors:   Vasil Levski National Military University, Veliko Turnovo, Bulgaria, Dolchinkov Nikolay Todorov
Published: May 2024

In recent decades, nature has seen many anomalies with the environment, climate, and the processes taking place. This leads to a change in the temperature of the environment, the formation of meteorological processes that are not characteristic of a certain part of the planet and the triggering of emergency situations of a natural nature. The study seeks to fill the gap regarding the trends in the influence of man-made activities on the occurrence of natural disasters, their scale of distribution and consequences. The current study methodology is a combination of a literature review and bibliometric analysis to obtain the relevant impact of man-made activities to the extent of occurrence and impact of natural disasters. This report examines the main extraordinary processes that are observed around us and cause damage and departure from the normal way of life of people and the rest of the living world. It was found that many researchers indirectly confirm that anthropogenic activities can provoke negative natural events, or contribute to a significant increase in the scale of a dangerous natural phenomenon. Some of the reasons that cause them, usually independent of human activity or inaction, is also indicated. Several research works have noted that climate change over the past few decades and global warming are contributing to an increase in the frequency of natural disasters such as earthquakes, floods, tsunamis, landslides, etc. But we need to change our behaviour to minimize causing such phenomena.

Multivariant Innovation Research on Curriculum Ideology and Politics for Foreign Language Majors
Authors: Yong Yingying , Ye Ying
Published: May 2024

As the reform of curriculum ideology and politics in universities continues to deepen, it is essential to address the coordination issues between professional courses and ideological and political courses. This can be achieved by leveraging the political and value guidance provided by ideological and political courses and drawing insights from successful experiences in designing such courses. Foreign language major courses have traditionally been limited to their own professional disciplines. It is crucial to incorporate and draw insights from ideological and political courses when developing teaching staff, objectives, curriculum, and methods. Diversified innovations should be implemented to enhance the political, ethical, and educational aspects of these courses. This will fully utilize the implicit moral education and nurture the function of courses.

Two clinical validation studies on the State form and types of reliability of the trait form of the State-Trait Anxiety Inventory
Authors: Dreger Ralph Mason , Brabham James Leander
Published: May 2024

To determine the "real life" validity of the State form (experimental B-1 and final X-1) of the State-Trait Anxiety Inventory, two P-technique analysis studies were carried out. The first utilized two therapists and two of their respective clients. The second involved two patients on an alcoholic treatment unit and their therapists. Expected relations in the first study between clients' responses to the STAI B-1, a separate Daily Diary, and therapists' judgments were not entirely forthcoming. However, the second study showed expected correlations between measures of psychophysiological functions, psychological tests, and the clinicians' judgement. Several reliability indices applied to the Trait form (B-2 and X-2) showed considerable relation between two administrations two months and one month apart respectively.
Jungian types from Cattellian variables
Authors: Croom William C. , Wallace Jeffrey M. , Schuerger James M
Published: May 2024

Regression equations were developed to predict Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI) scores from the Sixteen Personality Factor Questionnaire (16PF) scores. The equations were derived from intercorrelations given in the handbooks for the two instruments, and were cross-validated using data from two samples of varying populations (students and managers). Results were evaluated with respect to the ability to predict both single preference scores and the 4-letter "type". Accuracy was found to approximate the short-term test-retest reliability of the MBTI. It appears that scores from one general personality inventory (the 16PF) can provide access to constructs from a different theoretical context. Applied and theoretical implications were discussed.
Relationships of SCL-90 profiles to methadone patients' psychosocial characteristics and treatment response
Authors: Steer Robert A. , Platt Jerome J. , Ranieri William F. , Metzger David S.
Published: May 2024

Four-hundred fifty-eight methadone patients were administered the Symptom Check List-90 (SCL-90). Four profile-shape components were identified by Modal Profile Analysis reflecting (1) Paranoid, (2) Somatic, (3) Hostile, and (4) Anxious-depressed syndromes. Spearman rank-order correlations were then calculated between these four profile-shape components and four same-named ones previously reported for the SCL-90-R with psychiatric patients; the shape components were similar for both instruments. The four shape components were next correlated with the addicts background and treatment characteristics. The paranoid shape was associated with smoking marijuana at a later age and currently using both heroin and marijuana; the somatic shape was related to earlier marijuana use, not being court mandated to treatment, and having current medical problems; the hostile shape was associated with being male, Black, using marijuana at an earlier age, and currently using amphetamines; and the anxious depressed shape was correlated with being Black, not being married, using marijuana at an earlier age, realizing that one had a drug problem at an earlier age, entering drug treatment at an earlier age, and not having a current health problem.

En tres partes, revisamos el significado y aportes del prócer Antonio Nariño (1765-1823), precursor de la Independencia de la Nueva Granada con respecto a España y cuyo desempeño fue con frecuencia enlodado por la envidia y mezquindad de algunos de sus contemporáneos. Analizamos sus propuestas políticas en dos momentos decisivos de Colombia a través de dos discursos suyos, el de apertura del Colegio Electoral de Cundinamarca de 1813 y el de 1821 ante el Congreso de Cúcuta. Sorprende la vigencia de sus planteamientos y su concepción de un buen gobierno, aún hoy desideratum en los países de América Latina.
Vicente Requeno, Jesuita Expulso, mitificador de las artes Grecorromanas
Authors: Abajo Antonio Astorgano
Published: May 2024

Estudiamos el entusiasmo con que el polifacético jesuita expulso aragonés, Vicente Requeno (1743- 1811), restauró las artes grecolatinas: la pintura al encausto, la música, la telegrafía óptica, la pantomima, el tambor armónico y las antiguas artes de imprimir a mano. Conforme avanzamos en su estudio, el abate se nos aparece como uno de los miembros más destacados de la llamada Escuela Universalista Española. Fue un auténtico mitificador, caracterizado por una poligrafía cimentada en un profundo y continuado trabajo intelectual y experimental, y por la apasionada admiración hacia el mundo grecorromano.
La pesquisa reservada en Barcelona y Gerona (1766) Memoria documental

Published: May 2024

La expulsión de la Compañía de Jesús de los reinos de España fue precedida por el proceso criminal de lapesquisa reservada. Este artículo quiere visitar la documentación producida por dicha pesquisa secreta enBarcelona y en Gerona. Los opacos augurios, originados en la asonada madrileña de 1766 (el motín contraEsquilache), persistieron en el ánimo de Carlos III y del Real Consejo de Castilla, nutriéndose regularmente conlos escritos agraviantes que se publicaban en la corte y en el interior del reino. Dejémonos, pues, guiar por lostestigos que rindieron declaración en Barcelona y en Gerona para enterarnos, de primera mano, de cuantohicieron los Jesuitas en contra del Monarca, del gobierno, de las regalías y de las luces o para darnos cuenta de lafalsa que supuso dicho proceso criminal.
Late Cretaceous Dinosaur Tracks from the Iron Springs Formation, Iron County, Utah
Authors: Crowell Jennifer , Shimer Grant
Published: May 2024

Located in Iron County, Utah, the Parowan Gap dinosaur track site contains over one hundred natural casts of non-avian dinosaur tracks preserved in sandstones and siltstones of the Late Cretaceous (≈83 Ma) Iron Springs Formation. For this study, the authors returned to the area to survey for and describe previously unidentified tracks. Many tracks from this new study occur as in situ casts found on the basal surfaces of sandstones deposited by braided and meandering rivers on the coastal plain of the Western Interior Seaway, with some specimens from fallen talus blocks. Over the course of two years, the research team identified and recorded a total of 31 specimens. The results comprise tracks that resemble a minimum of at least five ichnotaxa including Caririchnium, Amblydactylus, Ceratopsipes, Magnoavipes, and Dromaeosauripus. The most common and well-recognized ichnogenus recorded in the Iron Springs Formation is Caririchnium, which likely represents ornithopod dinosaurs. We also identified two Ceratopsipes tracks in a fallen sandstone block. The pair of tracks are significant because they are the second set from the ichnotaxa found at Parowan Gap. Together the Parowan Gap Ceratopsipes samples represent the oldest ceratopsian tracks in Utah. The potential Dromaeosauripus specimen represents a small theropod dinosaur. This specimen is of great interest because theropod tracks, especially dromaeosaur tracks, are less common in the Iron Springs Formation, with a total of seven tracks reported from previous studies. If this is an appropriate interpretation, it would make the potential Dromaeosauripus track the youngest dromaeosaur trace fossil in Utah.

This research explores the multifaceted challenges and opportunities inherent in the integration of Extended Reality (XR) technologies—comprising Augmented Reality (AR), Virtual Reality (VR), and Mixed Reality (MR)—within educational contexts. Utilizing a narrative inquiry methodology, this study draws upon the experiences and perspectives of participants at the Future Hub Forum 2023, a gathering of researchers, educators, and technologists specializing in immersive learning technologies. Through the collection and analysis of narrative materials, including interviews, presentations, and observational data, the study aims to elucidate the complex interplay of technological, pedagogical, and infrastructural challenges that influence the adoption and effective use of XR technologies in education. Key findings reveal significant barriers to widespread XR integration, including issues of access and affordability, which exacerbate existing digital divides; challenges in training and securing buy-in from stakeholders; content creation and deployment hurdles; and infrastructural and administrative obstacles. Despite these challenges, the study also uncovers a collective optimism about the transformative potential of XR technologies to revolutionize pedagogical approaches and learning outcomes, provided these barriers can be overcome. The implications of this research extend beyond the immediate context of XR technology implementation, offering insights into broader questions of educational equity, the evolving landscape of digital pedagogy, and the future of immersive learning experiences. By highlighting the voices and experiences of those at the forefront of XR adoption in education, this paper contributes to a deeper understanding of the conditions necessary for the successful integration of these technologies into diverse educational settings. Through its narrative approach, the study also underscores the value of storytelling and personal narratives in uncovering the nuanced realities of educational technology adoption, offering a rich, contextualized perspective that quantitative methods alone may not capture.

The huge challenges in the transfer of agricultural technology are how close to the final users and how to continue the use of technology to meet upcoming issues. Suitable research techniques to endorse agricultural production and food security are the main priority for several countries. As we all know, the socio-economic background, education level, learning needs, and farmers' problems vary within the country and among the nations. Advanced agricultural technologies and skills are needed to address such issues and needs. These techniques should be disseminated to growers using up-to-date extended extension teaching techniques and policies. Extension agents should spend much of their time planning about which method to use. This review article aimed to deliberate different approaches to transfer and adoption of new technologies to the farmers and growers through extension workers. Agricultural extension method of teaching includes transfer/delivery of new technologies/skills or new production methods in farming, which will advance the living standards of the growers. To successfully transfer the latest information, extension workers must know the grower's requirements, complexities, and opportunities, as well as physical and financial hurdles.

THE EXPERIENCE OF EVIL AND DISORDER ACCORDING SAINT THOMAS AQUINAS (On Evil, q. 1, aa. 1-2)
Authors: Woda Angelo Luciani Moa Dosi
Published: May 2024

Dalam kenyataan hidup sehari-sehari, kita semua sebagai manusia yang berada di dalam dunia yang fana ini, kita nyaris tidak dapat menghindari apa yang disebut dengan kejahatan. Lantas, pertanyaan mendasar yang dapat kita ajukan ialah apakah itu kejahatan? Mengapa ada kejahatan? Apa yang harus kita lakukan untuk menghindari kejahatan? Santo Thomas Aquinas, seorang Pujangga Gereja dari Ordo Dominican menyatakan bahwa kejahatan adalah tiadanya atau kekurangan dari kebaikan. Jelas kejahatan bukanlah esensi atau hakekat dari ada. Akan tetapi kejahatan adalah sesuatu yang mengganggu, merugikan, dan menindas kehidupan manusia. Oleh sebab itu hanya melalui peristiwa Inkarnasi, Sengsara, Wafat dan Kebangkitan Kristus, kejahatan dapat dikalahkan.
