Innovative application of deep learning and genetic algorithm based on biomechanics in enterprise economics and audit management
Authors: Quan Mingyue
Published: February 2025

With the increasing demand for enterprise economic management in complex and dynamic environments, the interdisciplinary application of biomechanics has shown significant potential. This article explores the innovative practices of genetic algorithms and deep learning in optimizing enterprise economic management. Genetic algorithm simulates biological evolution mechanisms such as natural selection and genetic variation to achieve multi-dimensional and multi-level optimization of enterprise economic models, improving decision-making efficiency and adaptability. Deep learning draws on the structural characteristics of biological neural networks to solve problems such as insufficient data and model overfitting, optimizing the intelligence level of resource allocation, performance evaluation, and strategic planning in enterprise management. On this basis, this paper introduces the concept of biomechanics to further improve the adaptability and efficiency of the model. Biomechanics emphasizes the movement and adaptability of organisms in complex environments, which provides a new perspective for corporate economic management. By simulating the dynamic adjustment mechanism of organisms in the face of external pressure, enterprises can respond to market changes more flexibly and optimize resource allocation and decision-making processes. In addition, this article proposes a comprehensive framework that combines multi-level genetic algorithms and deep learning, and verifies its effectiveness in dynamic market environments through case studies. Research has shown that biomechanics not only provides theoretical support for enterprise economic management, but also offers efficient and sustainable pathways for solving complex economic problems. By incorporating the inspiration of biomechanics into the optimization practice of corporate economic management, enterprises can better adapt to market changes, improve the flexibility and efficiency of decision-making, and point the way for future economic management innovation.

Authors: Zela Pacori Carmen Eliza , Ticona Paucar José Humberto
Published: February 2025

El presente estudio tuvo como objetivo describir las brechas entre las expectativas y percepciones de los usuarios en el servicio de consulta externa de un establecimiento de salud Puno. Para ello, se evaluaron diversas dimensiones clave de la calidad del servicio mediante el cuestionario estructurado SERVQUAL de 22 ítems, se recolectaron datos de 146 usuarios, quienes calificaron sus expectativas y percepciones respecto a los servicios recibidos. Los resultados mostraron que las mayores brechas se dieron en confiabilidad (brecha de 9,20 puntos), capacidad de respuesta (brecha de 6,25 puntos) y empatía (brecha de 7,42 puntos), con diferencias significativas entre lo esperado y lo percibido. Las brechas reflejan áreas críticas donde se requiere mejorar la rapidez de atención, la equidad en el servicio y el trato humano hacia los pacientes. Específicamente, la atención conforme al horario y la existencia de mecanismos para atender quejas. Por otro lado, la seguridad también presentó una brecha considerable de 6,17 puntos, indicando que los pacientes sienten que los profesionales de salud no dedican suficiente tiempo a responder sus dudas o realizar exámenes completos, lo que afecta la confianza en la atención recibida. Sin embargo, no se observaron brechas importantes en los aspectos tangibles, como la limpieza e infraestructura del establecimiento, que fueron calificados de acuerdo con las expectativas de los usuarios. La brecha global entre expectativas y percepciones fue de 29,04 puntos. Las conclusiones sugieren que, para mejorar la calidad del servicio, es esencial reducir las brechas en confiabilidad, capacidad de respuesta y empatía, especialmente en las áreas de tiempo de espera y trato profesional.

Thinking Beyond Words: Evaluating Critical Thinking Skills in Scheme of BS English Program at PU and GCUF, Punjab, Pakistan
Authors: Amna Fayyaz  , Sadia Naz  , Mubeen Khalid
Published: February 2025

The study dives deep into the need of dissecting the scheme of studies nuances of the BS English programs at Punjab University Lahore and Govt. College University Faisalabad to gauge cognitive and critical thinking prowess. Existing literature has flagged a research gap in dissecting critical thinking skills within the BS English program's framework. This inquiry probes how the curriculum structures of these prestigious universities fortify students' cognitive and critical thinking acumen and their competitive edge in the BS English program arena. The research methodology adopts a quantitative lens intertwined with content analysis. Cluster sampling pinpoints key cities in Punjab, stratified sampling steers premier university selection, and purposive sampling drills down into course objectives. The Critical Thinking Evaluation Model acts as the litmus test for gauging cognitive to critical thinking skills levels. The discoveries unfurl that both institutions place a premium on a gamut of skills, kicking off from foundational knowledge and traversing through comprehension, conceptualization, implementation, analysis, evaluation, creativity, and self-directed learning. Curriculum developers predominantly spotlight implementation-centric skills, trailed by comprehension and foundational knowledge. Other proficiencies garner relatively less focus, particularly in bolstering robust concepts linked to everyday scenarios and domain-specific issues. The study accentuates the urgency for higher education establishments to mindfully evaluate and tailor their BS English program curricula to enrich learners' critical thinking prowess in sync with the demands of the 21st century. This exploration stands as a beacon for higher education institutions to recalibrate their BS English program curricula, nurturing critical thinking skills vital for students to thrive in the contemporary landscape. Moving forward, it is recommended that universities integrate more experiential learning opportunities, interdisciplinary approaches, and real-world problem-solving tasks to further hone students' critical thinking abilities and prepare them for the dynamic challenges of the future.

Single Women’s Testimony in Islam: A Comparative Analysis with the Pakistani Legal Framework
Authors: Namish Nadeem  , Dr. Nazia Zaman
Published: February 2025

This study examines the function and legitimacy of women's testimonies in Islam by contrasting them with Pakistan's legal system. Though there are variations depending on the situation and case type, Islamic jurisprudence has historically recognized the testimony of women,particularly unmarried women, in a variety of legal problems. Examining how Islamic principles relate to or differ from the Pakistani judicial system in relation to single women's testimony is the aim of this study. This study specifically aims to ascertain the degree to which Islamic jurisprudence informs Pakistani law and to pinpoint areas where interpretation or application may vary. To define the Islamic position on women's testimony, the study technique uses a comparative analysis, drawing on traditional fiqh (Islamic jurisprudence) and primary Islamic texts, the Quran and Hadith. Using Pakistan's constitution, case law, and statutes as a guide, these conclusions are then compared to the country's legal provisions, especially in criminal andcivil cases where testimony is crucial to the outcome. The findings show that whereas Islam permits women to testify in many situations, various interpretations of Pakistani law implement these principles differently, occasionally imposing restrictions based on gender or demanding supporting documentation. According to the report, Pakistan's court system does not alwaysadhere to traditional Islamic standards on women's testimony because of colonial-era legislation and current geopolitical factors. The conclusion underscores the need for a more nuanced understanding and application of Islamic jurisprudence within the Pakistani legal context to ensure justice and equality. It suggests potential reforms in the legal system to more accurately reflect Islamic teachings on women’s rights and testimony. This research contributes to broader discussions on gender equity in legal settings within Muslim-majority societies.

Thematic Diversity In Majeed Amjad's Poetry
Authors: Dr. Uzma Noreen  , Dr. Nazia Sahar  , Dr. Syed Azwar Abbas
Published: February 2025

Majeed Amjad (1914-1974) from Jhang was a leading Urdu poet. He gave Urdu poetry a style of modern themes and played an important role in bringing it closer to world literature with his simple but profound imagination. Among the first generation of poets who made their impact on Urdu poetry after the establishment of Pakistan, Majeed Amjad's name comes first. Especially in the tradition of Urdu poetry, he added some colors that belong only to him. Majeed Amjad's ghazals also have their own special mood, but he was basically a poet of poetry. He started his literary life as the editor of Jhang's newspaper "Urooj" and had to wash his hands of the editorship for raising his voice against British imperialism. Later, he was appointed as an officer of the Food Department and worked there until his death. His first collection of poems "Shab-e-Rafta" was published in 1958. His second collection of poetry, "Shab Rafta Ke Baad", was published after his death in 1976, and his complete poetry was published in "Kaliyat-e-Majeed Amjad" in 1989.He made the common themes of daily life the focus of his poetry, but with a modern style of expression. By writing on titles like "Hari Bhari Faslo", "Bus Stand Par", "Harappe Ka Ek Katba", "Accident" and "Kahani Ek Malik Ki", he brought Urdu poetry in line with modern trends.

Authors: Cadir Cayndo Lopes Abdul
Published: February 2025

O presente artigo subordinado à temática das políticas educacionais, visa essencialmente refletir sobre a influência do neoliberalismo na educação sobretudo no Plano Curricular do Ensino Básico de Moçambique. Do ponto de vista metodológico, o trabalho pautou por uma abordagem qualitativa embasada pela revisão bibliográfica, pesquisa documental e análise de conteúdo. Através da abordagem do ciclo de políticas, nos contextos da prática e dos efeitos foi possível constatar que a política educacional em Moçambique é influenciada por organismos internacionais que exercem poder no seu delineamento, propiciando a elaboração de reformas curriculares que pouco satisfazem a realidade contextual do país. Ademais, o Plano Curricular do Ensino Básico apresenta uma perspectiva de formação tecnicista que se enquadra na agenda neoliberal visando o capacitismo para o mercado de trabalho.

Authors: Malaga Jose Rabbi
Published: February 2025

The paper is a follow-up of the previous paper on the graduate school survey that focuses on the implications of Resolution No. 34, series of 2015. It takes up the current profile of the school on enrolment and number of graduates, policy compliance, blended-learning needs, faculty commitment, and feedback on the affordability, competitiveness, and patronage of graduate school programs and services. It adopted a descriptive design with 34 faculty members and 307 graduate school students as respondents. The survey covers three academic periods–from the academic year 2015-2016 to 2018-2019. Data were sourced from interview questionnaires, annual reports, and college documents. Frequency count and percentage were utilized for the treatment of quantitative data, and thematic analysis was followed for the explication of qualitative data. The full implementation of small-class size and adjusted salary scheme for the faculty resulted in a seemingly more accessible and less expensive graduate education for students. However, significant guidelines of the policy were not fully complied such as the submission and utilization of the blended-learning materials designed for small classes.The faculty needs further training in course website development, class material digitization, and instructional video development. On the other hand, students considered graduate education to be affordable and competitive for to them, cost, location, quality, and reputation are imperative for their continued patronage of the college graduate program. These outcomes call for the re-visitation and amendment of Resolution No. 34, series of 2015, and its guidelines to ensure its full implementation.

While many studies have discussed IoT and IIoT security challenges, analyzing the gap between security requirements and the actual countermeasures in use, it's crucial to assess whether the countermeasures deployed in real-world industrial environments adequately address these challenges in use, to understand the effectiveness of current security practices. This study presents a comprehensive analysis of the security landscape of IoT/IIoT, addressing attack vectors across architecture layers and evaluating existing countermeasures by focusing on the different layers of security, the threat land-scape, scalability of security solutions, ensuring security in complex industrial systems, and addressing securi-ty in resource-constrained devices. Additionally, by outlining future research issues and challenges, this ap-proach encourages ongoing investigation and development in the field of IoT/IIoT security to address these challenges through innovative solutions and collaborative efforts in understanding the complexities and strat-egies needed to secure IoT/IIoT systems effectively.

This study investigates the influence of public participation on sustainable forest management (SFM) in Sokoto State, Nigeria. A region faced with severe forest degradation due to anthropogenic and climatic pressures. The research focuses on the demographic characteristics of the respondents, the effects of public participation on sustainable forest management practices (Plantation establishment and management, harvesting practices, Afforestation and Reforestation and Forest Restoration), benefits and challenges of involving local communities in forest management. Data were collected through structured questionnaires involving 115 participants. An interview was also conducted in 10 organizations on SFM. The data were analyzed descriptively. The research reveals a nearly equal gender distribution (51.3%, male, and 48.7%, female) with the majority (89.5%) between 21-30 years and majorly (72.2%) students by occupation. The research also highlights plantation establishment (57.4%) and afforestation/reforestation (29.6%) as the predominant sustainable forest management practices in Sokoto. Findings reveal that public participation significantly enhances SFM, with 77.4% of respondents reporting a positive impact. Environmental (57.4%) and educational (27.8%) benefits were the most perceived benefits. Micro-climate regulation (43.5%) was the major environmental benefit observed. Despite these gains, key challenges such as lack of awareness (45.2%) and funding constraints (32.2%) hinder broader engagement and effective public participation. The study concludes that economic incentives and public awareness should be emphasized, to sustain SFM initiatives. This paper draws attention to the essence of participatory approaches that align local community involvement with environmental restoration strategies, providing a blueprint for forest management in semi-arid regions.

Published: February 2025

This article presents a comprehensive study of Gobeklitepe (in Turkey), one of the most significant Neolithic sites, whose discovery has reshaped our understanding of early human social and ritual practices. By synthesizing recent interdisciplinary research and employing both traditional excavation techniques and advanced scientific analyses, the study reexamines the site's architectural marvels—characterized by intricately carved T-shaped pillars and enigmatic symbolic motifs—as evidence of complex communal and ceremonial activities. The findings challenge the conventional "agriculture-first" paradigm by suggesting that ritual and symbolic practices may have been foundational to societal organization well before the advent of agriculture. Moreover, the integration of environmental studies with cultural and technological perspectives provides a nuanced interpretation of the interplay between subsistence strategies, environmental dynamics, and symbolic expression during the Neolithic period. Ultimately, this research contributes to a broader discourse on the origins of social stratification and the evolution of organized religion, highlighting the transformative role of ritual in early human innovation.

Protecting the privacy of individuals and respecting their rights has been recognized as an important concept and a basic need in human life. To protect the privacy of patient information and prevent information disclosure, hospital managers and officials must implement new approaches to minimize the risk of patient privacy.
Healthcare and medical management ensures and maintains human health, respects the rights and privacy of patients, and responds to a fundamental and ongoing human need. It is also a very important issue that its true blessing and fruitfulness depend on the integration of those services with moral values ​​and human virtues.
This integration leads to the satisfaction of God and the provision of people's needs in an appropriate manner and towards human perfection; In this regard, discussing the application of professional ethics in the health and medical sector, especially in its management system and in order to respect the rights of patients, is undoubtedly a necessary and worthy step. The truth is that ethical characteristics must appear in human behavior in order to increase ethical values. In this way, the spirit of service and godliness will replace egoism and selfishness arising from ego and self-centeredness.
Based on a review of the relevant scientific literature, this article provides an overview of the concept of ethics and patient privacy and examines the role of health and medical management in hospitals in this category.
El evangelio de la paz
Authors: Rey Riquelme Víctor
Published: February 2025

El término “paz” aparece unas cien veces en el Nuevo Testamento. Por ese solo hecho, nos muestra que es un concepto de importancia fundamental para la comprensión del Evangelio y la vida de las iglesias. Las Escrituras nos dicen que Dios es un Dios de Paz; que Cristo es Señor de Paz. El profeta le llamaba al Mesías esperado el “Príncipe de paz”; el fruto del Espíritu de Dios es paz y vivir en el Espíritu es justicia, paz y gozo en el Espíritu Santo. El Evangelio de Paz abre la posibilidad de una nueva relación con Dios, que se convierte en realidad en la medida en que vivimos en una nueva relación con nuestros semejantes. En esta comunidad lasdiferencias y las barreras que separaran a los hombres son superadas: nacionalismos, racismos, prejuicios basados en diferencias de sexos, espíritu de competitividad económica, diferencias culturales, religiosas y sociales que contribuyen a actitudes de superioridad de parte de unos y de inferioridad de parte de otros. Por lo tanto, podemos decir que la paz está en el mismo corazón de la vida que vivimos y del mensaje que proclamamos los cristianos.

Este artículo describe modelos educativos y cómo promueven las competencias genéricas en los planes de estudio en universidades salvadoreñas. Las competencias genéricas son base de toda formación profesional, para mejores relaciones interpersonales, trabajo en equipo, pensamiento crítico, comunicación asertiva entre otras. Se realizó un estudio cualitativo, con enfoque fenomenológico,hermenéutico, mediante entrevistas en profundidad a expertos responsables de creación de programas de estudio. El análisis fenomenológico expone las ideas más representativas, a través de categorías de análisis que explican la incorporación de competencias genéricas desde los modelos educativos universitarios, considerando cinco categorías de análisis: 1-Modelos educativos, 2-Enfoques educativos, 3-Teorías de los modelos educativos, 4-Metodologías y estrategias para desarrollar competencias genéricas y 5-Desarrollo de competencias genéricas en los planes de estudios de pregrado. Se encontró diversidad de modelos educativos; se mencionan modelos tradicionales por objetivos, personalistas, constructivistas y multimodales, orientados a la formación humanista e integral. Los modelos basados en diferentes enfoques y teorías, las estrategias de incorporación de competencias genéricas en programas de estudio se realizan a través de actividades y metodologías como trabajo en equipo, exposiciones, investigaciones, entre otras; en el proceso de formación también se toman en cuenta las estrategias de evaluación de competencias técnicas para dar un enfoque complementario. Se concluye que si bien los modelos educativos son diversos, todos buscan fortalecer el dominio teórico y práctico de los estudiantes, con mayor énfasis en las competencias técnicas y con menor claridad en las competencias genéricas y que se van incorporando mejoras y actualizaciones en respuesta a las demandas del contexto laboral.
