Fish is a vital source of protein in India, and the Indian fishing industry plays a pivotal role in the nation’s economy. India ranks as the world’s second-largest fish producer, yielding approximately 4.3 million metric tons of fish annually. To meet this high demand, fish production continues to rise, resulting in a significant amount of fish waste. In India, nearly 2 million metric tons of fish waste are generated annually, with West Bengal contributing a substantial 1,770.310 tons in 2019. Our research concentrates on the Madanpur and Simurali fish markets in the Nadia district. These markets generate substantial quantities of fish waste, often mismanaged due to the lack of awareness among fishermen. Various forms of waste, including fish scales, swim bladders, and fins, are prevalent. Our survey report underscores the need for proper management of these waste materials to ensure sustainable growth and mitigate the environmental pollution resulting from fish waste. Fish scales, in particular, serve as a valuable source of chitin and collagen, finding applications in cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, and the food industry. Additionally, fish waste can be processed into fish food, offering a balanced diet for Thai Magur and ornamental fishes. In today’s context, it is imperative to educate stakeholders about fish waste management and raise awareness about the adverse environmental impact of neglecting this critical issue. By addressing these challenges, we can harness the full potential of the Indian fishing industry while promoting environmental sustainability.
От традиции к инновациям: ГИС в археологии Акмолинской области
Authors: Мухаметзянов Артур , Хабдулина Марал
Published: March 2024

Первый опыт Археологической карты в рамках всего Казахстана был осуществлён в 1960 г. Это издание являлось результатом интенсивных разведывательных работ целинных экспедиций 1953–1956 гг. под руководством К.А. Акишева. В настоящее время масштабы археологических работ, расширение охвата изучаемых пространств, геоинформационные возможности сформировали новые требования и подходы к картографии. Развитие компьютерных технологий и появление геоинформационных систем заметно расширили инструментарий исследователей, усилили эффективность анализа и обработки данных, снимаемых с земной поверхности. Сначала эта роль была возложена на самолёты и вертолёты, позже – спутниковые системы и ныне – беспилотные летательные аппараты. Основным преимуществом современных технологий, несомненно, является возможность хранения и анализа больших объёмов данных, что позволяет проводить более глубокие и комплексные исследования. Задача, возникшая перед археологией более полувека назад, сохраняет свою актуальность. Несмотря на заметное упрощение процесса создания карт, мы всё ещё не до конца осознаем весь потенциал вычислительных систем в археологических исследованиях. В статье изложен пример создания карты археологических памятников Акмолинской области. В ходе разработки геоинформационной системы были обработаны и нанесены на карту данные по 1032 памятникам. Также рассматриваются наиболее удобные способы формирования баз данных и применения методов дистанционного зондирования в повседневных изысканиях, сделано предположение относительно ближайших перспектив развития ГИС в археологии.
Грунтовые погребения финала каменного века курганного могильника Майское V
Authors: Захаров Сергей Владимирович , Мерц Виктор Карлович , Рахимжанова Сауле Жангельдыевна
Published: March 2024

В научный оборот вводятся данные о двух грунтовых погребениях финала каменного века из Прииртышья. Произведён сравнительный анализ материалов и обрядовых действий с погребальными традициями данной эпохи сопредельных и более отдалённых регионов: Северо-Западной Барабы, Верхнего Приобья, Прибайкалья. Установлено соответствие погребального обряда широко распространённым на этой территории в неолите–раннем металле традициям отношения к умершим – вариативность обращения с останками, преимущественная ориентация в северо-восточном направлении, ярусные парные погребения, применение охры и огня. Сопроводительный инвентарь позволяет отнести погребения к кругу влияния прибайкальских неолитических погребальных традиций. Предполагается их воздействие опосредованно, через погребальные комплексы Верхнего Приобья. Выявлено сочетание с материалами погребальных комплексов Северо-Западной Барабы типа Протоки и Венгерово 2А. Часть материала отражает черты энеолитической каменной индустрии шидертинского облика. Такое состояние источника и круг аналогий подвигает авторов воздержаться от однозначного культурно-хронологического определения погребений в могилах 2 и 3 кургана № 3 могильника Майское V и считать их до получения новых материалов нео-энеолитическими.

Authors: Горячев Александр , Антонов Михаил
Published: March 2024

Работа посвящена анализу дистанционных и натурных исследований тополандшафтных особенностей памятников эпохи бронзы Жетысу. В исследовании применён метод геопространственного моделирования процессов освоения древним населением различных географических зон: полупустынной степной, предгорной, среднегорья и высокогорья. Анализ позволяет реконструировать систему расселения людей в бронзовом веке, формы ведения хозяйства, соответствующих природно-климатическим условиям различных микрорайонов обширной территории, моделях социальных связей и взаимодействия древних сообществ. На основе данных географического расположения и комплексного изучения памятников эпохи бронзы составлена археологическая карта, основным массивом которой является 393 объекта: поселения и стоянки, могильники, скопления петроглифов, горные выработки, клады и случайные находки. Количество памятников позволяет представить степень изученности данной территории и свидетельствует об активном освоении всех экологических ниш от полупустынной до высокогорной с разделением на зоны преимущественного развития земледельческого и скотоводческого хозяйства. Статистический анализ показывает их наибольшую концентрацию в предгорной зоне Илейского (Заилийского), Кунгей, Жетысу (Джунгарского) Алатау и в горных ущельях Шу-Илейского междуречья.
“Винные стихи” на хумах XII века с городища Шодмалик-ота
Authors: Бабаджанов Бахтияр Мираимович , Ильясова Саида Равильевна
Published: March 2024

Арабографичные надписи на крупногабаритной керамической посуде мусульманского времени до сих пор не были найдены и не публиковались, если не считать нескольких случаев со штампами керамистов. В этой статье впервые в центральноазиатской археологии исследованы и интерпретированы тексты на венчиках трех хумов второй половины XII в., найденных в разные годы на городище Шодмалик-ота (Ташкентский регион). Все надписи относятся к жанру т. н. «винной поэзии». Помимо чтения и перевода этих стихов с необходимыми комментариями, авторы анализируют текст с точки зрения идеологии ремесленной «слободы» домонгольского города – темы, которая крайне редко становится предметом исследований. Авторы акцентируют внимание на двух вопросах: можно ли интерпретировать эти руба‘и «напрямую», то есть как открытое воспевание вина в качестве «лекаря души», несмотря на религиозные ограничения? Либо эти стихи следует рассматривать в метафорическом смысле как следствие влияния идеологии суфизма, в котором жанры «винной поэзии» обрели переносный смысл, изменив семантику описаний хмельного состояния в качестве «отклика души» на познание Истинного (Бога)? В статье нет предпочтения той или иной интерпретации, и авторы полагают, что одно другого не исключало, имея в виду ряд археологических находок винодавилен в Центральной Азии в эпоху «мусульманского ренессанса», а также известия ряда источников, свидетельствующих, что потребление вина оставалось «тайной традицией» в разных стратах общества, несмотря на религиозные ограничения.
Epidamnus/Dyrrahchium (Durres) coins and hoard in the Mediterranean territories from 4th to 3rd centuries BC: A spatial distribution analysis
Authors: Kasa Arlind
Published: March 2024

The study of the territorial distribution of Epidamnus/Dyrrahchium coins is a relevant topic in the context of the study of the history of Antiquity, because by studying the history of numismatics, a number of general historical conclusions can be made. The purpose of this article is to study and analyze the territorial distribution of Epidamnus/Dyrrahchium coins in the 4th-3rd centuries BC. In the course of conducting this research, a number of methods were used, in particular: analysis, synthesis, comparison, specification and generalization. As a result of the study, the history of the coinage of Epidamnus/Dyrrahchium was considered, and the characteristic features of the first coins were determined. All the finds of Epidamnus/Dyrrahchium coins were also framed and displayed on the map. It was determined that the coins of the 4th century BC were mostly spread on the coastal area of the Adriatic Sea, which is evidence of maritime trade, and also in Sicily, which is the result of military campaigns. In the 3rd century BC coins of Epidamnus/Dyrrahchium appear in the territory of modern Romania and Bulgaria, which indicates the development of overland trade routes. Many coins were also found in the territory of coastal cities, which indicates a stronger development of sea trade. This article is the first comprehensive study of the territorial distribution of Epidamnus/Dyrrahchium coins, and is useful for historians studying the economic and military aspects of Antiquity.

Published: March 2024

В статье подробно проанализированы ювелирные изделия из более чем десяти захоронений сакского времени, происходящие из Юго-Восточного Приаралья. В ходе исследования выделено 35 видов изделий из жёлтого металла. Хронологические рамки проделанной работы охватывают IV–II вв. до н.э. В целом, для ширикрабатской археологической культуры характерны несколько типов погребальных сооружений, представляющих собой курганы с насыпями, мавзолеи, простые и подбойные погребальные ямы. Памятники сложной конструкции и различной погребальной обрядности демонстрируют своеобразный синкретизм местных традиций и внешних влияний. В результате исследований, проведённых Ширикрабатской археологической экспедицией Института археологии имени А.Х. Маргулана, были обнаружены ювелирные изделия. Они по морфологическим признакам объединены в четыре группы: зооморфные, геометрические, растительные и орнитоморфные. При изготовлении ювелирных изделий использовались ковка, плавка, формовка, резьба, пайка, а также закрепление мелких бусин. Для определения состава золота использованы химические анализы, проведённые в Институте геологических наук им. К.И. Сатпаева. Изученные ювелирные изделия аналогичны материалам уникальных памятников Юго-Восточного, Центрального, Восточного Казахстана и Алтая.

Authors: Fadeke Adeola Atobatele  , Percy Chris Kpodo  , Isabel Obiageli Eke
Published: March 2024

In an increasingly interconnected world, the success of international students in higher education institutions has garnered significant attention. This concept paper presents a multilevel perspective framework aimed at comprehensively analyzing the myriad factors influencing international student success. By focusing on adjustment, acculturation, language barriers, and motivation, this proposal aims to elucidate mechanisms that could enhance the international student experience. The framework acknowledges the complexity of international student success, recognizing that it is influenced by factors operating at various levels, including individual, interpersonal, institutional, and societal levels. Understanding and addressing these factors holistically is crucial for devising effective strategies to support international students throughout their academic journey. Drawing upon existing studies and research findings, this concept paper aims to provide insights into the dynamics of international student success. Adjustment, as a crucial aspect, encompasses the process through which international students navigate the challenges of adapting to a new academic, social, and cultural environment. Acculturation further explores how individuals negotiate their identities within the host culture while maintaining aspects of their own cultural heritage. Language barriers represent a significant obstacle for many international students, affecting their academic performance, social integration, and overall well-being. Addressing language-related challenges requires tailored support mechanisms and interventions that facilitate language acquisition and proficiency. Moreover, motivation plays a pivotal role in shaping international student experiences and outcomes. Understanding the diverse motivational factors driving international students can inform the design of interventions aimed at fostering engagement, persistence, and academic success. By proposing a comprehensive framework that integrates these key dimensions, this concept paper seeks to contribute to the ongoing discourse on international student success. It underscores the importance of adopting a holistic approach that considers the interplay of various factors and levels of influence. Ultimately, enhancing the international student experience requires concerted efforts from educational institutions, policymakers, and other stakeholders to create an inclusive and supportive environment conducive to academic achievement and personal growth.

Factors such as language proficiency, cultural adjustment, financial constraints, and lack of social support emerge as significant determinants influencing retention outcomes. Furthermore, the paper critically examines a range of strategies employed by educational institutions to address these challenges and enhance retention rates. These strategies encompass academic support programs, cultural adaptation initiatives, financial assistance schemes, and community-building activities. Additionally, the review explores the role of institutional policies, administrative support structures, and faculty engagement in fostering a supportive environment for international students. Moreover, the paper evaluates the effectiveness of these strategies based on empirical evidence, analyzing their impact on retention rates and the broader implications for institutional outcomes. It discusses the interplay between retention efforts, institutional reputation, and financial sustainability, emphasizing the importance of a holistic approach to student support and success. In conclusion, this critical literature review offers valuable insights into the complexities of international student retention and provides evidence-based recommendations for enhancing retention efforts. By addressing the diverse needs of international students and fostering a supportive learning environment, institutions can not only improve completion rates but also strengthen their global standing and ensure long-term financial viability in an increasingly competitive higher education landscape.
La résonnance d’un plaidoyer au cours d’un processus de concertation sur une norme comptable: le cas des activités extractives
Authors: BLUM Véronique , Lê Nhu-Tuyën , Gumb Bernard
Published: March 2024

Lorsque l'International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) a préparé une proposition de norme relative aux activités extractives en 2010, elle incluait une question relative à la campagne Publiez Ce Que Vous Payez (PWYP), plaidant pour la divulgation des paiements effectués par les entreprises aux gouvernements, pays par pays. Nous évaluons la résonance de cette action de plaidoyer dans les lettres de commentaires reçues par le normalisateur. Notre méthodologie originale combine une analyse lexicométrique, une analyse en composantes principales et la théorie des graphes. En acceptant que les alignements lexicaux signalent un assentiment partiel ou total des idées diffusées, nous visualisons, au sein des réseaux ou des sociogrammes, la manière dont les discours des répondants s'alignent sur les choix sémantiques de PWYP. Nos résultats mettent en évidence un plus grand nombre de non-alignements par rapport aux alignements, et évoquent un effort de lobbying n’ayant pas encore abouti à court terme.

Published: March 2024

Le secteur du Bâtiment et des Travaux Publics (désormais BTP) génère d’importants flux de matières, mobilise d’importantes ressources énergétiques et est reconnu comme l’un des principaux secteurs responsables des émissions de Gaz à Effet de Serre (dorénavant GES). Face à des enjeux financiers et extra-financiers, une gestion optimisée des ressources devient une nécessité pour les acteurs du secteur qui se tournent vers l’économie circulaire. Pour piloter ces démarches, les entreprises ont un besoin croissant d’indicateurs pour mesurer leur degré de circularité et ses effets sur l’environnement. Toutefois, on ne dispose que de peu d’éléments pour guider et piloter l’économie circulaire. L’article se propose de dresser le constat de l’hétérogénéité des indicateurs mis en place, et de leurs limites, avant de proposer un tableau de bord mobilisable de façon unifiée par les entreprises du BTP
A review: Revealing the important of bio stimulant coated microbeads biofertilizers for improving the effectiveness of inoculant for enhancing the agronomic traits and productivity of crops
Authors: Elisabeth Mora  , Tualar Simarmata  , Nadia N.Kamaluddin
Published: March 2024

The utilization of biofertilizers and inoculants has emerged as a promising strategy in modern agriculture to bolster crop productivity sustainably. However, maximizing the effectiveness of these microbial agents remains a challenge. To address this, biostimulant-coated microbeads biofertilizers have been introduced, aiming to enhance the interaction between microorganisms and plants. These innovative formulations combine biofertilizers with biostimulants, substances that stimulate biological activity in the soil and enhance plant nutrient absorption. Biostimulant-coated microbeads are designed to improve agronomic traits such as root growth, disease resistance, and stress tolerance, ultimately leading to increased crop yields. Various studies have demonstrated the efficacy of biostimulant-coated microbeads in enhancing nutrient uptake, promoting plant growth, and reducing the reliance on chemical fertilizers. However, several challenges persist in their implementation, including ensuring efficacy and consistency, navigating regulatory frameworks, achieving cost-effectiveness, and promoting awareness among farmers. Addressing these challenges through research, innovation, and education is crucial for the successful integration and widespread adoption of biostimulant-coated microbeads in sustainable agriculture.
Challenges of indigenous children’s primary education in the Chittagong Hill Tracts of Bangladesh: Insights from individuals working in education
Authors: Chakma Emerson
Published: March 2024

The Chittagong Hill Tracts (CHT) is a backward and culturally diverse region in Bangladesh where indigenous children face barriers to access quality primary education. To educate CHT indigenous children, their culture and context are often not taken into consideration. Hence, to inform policy decisions, this study explores the existing realities of Indigenous children’s primary education through the eyes of individuals within the education system. The study employed a semi-structured interview method and applied phenomenological approach involving the development of crafted stories from the interviews. The study findings suggest that the centralized educational policies adversely impacting the Indigenous children’s primary education. In addition, corruption, insufficient consideration of local contexts, language barriers, administrative limitations, teacher shortages, absenteeism, lack of modern teaching methods and materials, inadequate infrastructural facilities, poverty, limited parental and community engagement and the recruitment of underqualified teachers heighten the challenges in accessing equitable and quality primary education for CHT Indigenous children. The findings underscore the urgent need for tailored solutions to address the challenges. In formulating policies, paramount consideration should be given to local contexts and cultural issues, especially from the perspective of Indigenous children. This research mainly focuses on CHT remote schools and does not explain the challenges of urban and rural schools separately. Hence, the findings may not be generalised in urban schools and other parts of the country.

Mathematical approaches to controlling COVID-19: optimal control and financial benefits
Authors: Id Ouaziz Saida , El Khomssi Mohammed
Published: March 2024

The global population has suffered extensively as an effect of the coronavirus infection, with the loss of many lives, adverse financial consequences, and increased impoverishment. In this paper, we propose an example of the non-linear mathematical modeling of the COVID-19 phenomenon. Using the fixed point theorem, we established the solution's existence and unicity. We demonstrate how, under the framework, the basic reproduction number can be redefined. The different equilibria of the model are identified, and their stability analyses are carefully examined. According to our argument, it is illustrated that there is a single optimal control that can be used to reduce the expense of the illness load and applied processes. The determination of optimal strategies is examined with the aid of Pontryagin's maximum principle. To support the analytical results, we perform comprehensive digital simulations using the Runge-Kutta 4th-order. The data simulated suggest that the effects of the recommended controls significantly impact the incidence of the disease, in contrast to the absence of control cases. Further, we calculate the incremental cost-effectiveness ratio to assess the cost and benefits of each potential combination of the two control measures. The findings indicate that public attention, personal hygiene practices, and isolating oneself will all contribute to slowing the spread of COVID-19. Furthermore, those who are infected can readily decrease their virus to become virtually non-detectable with treatment consent.
A novel Touchard polynomial-based spectral matrix collocation method for solving the Lotka-Volterra competition system with diffusion
Authors: Izadi Mohammad , El-mesady Ahmed , Adel Waleed
Published: March 2024

This paper presents the computational solutions of a time-dependent nonlinear system of partial differential equations (PDEs) known as the Lotka-Volterra competition system with diffusion. We propose a combined semi-discretized spectral matrix collocation algorithm to solve this system of PDEs. The first part of the algorithm deals with the time-marching procedure, which is performed using the well-known Taylor series formula. The resulting linear systems of ordinary differential equations (ODEs) are then solved using the spectral matrix collocation technique based on the novel Touchard family of polynomials. We discuss and establish the error analysis and convergence of the proposed method. Additionally, we examine the stability analysis and the equilibrium points of the model to determine the stability condition for the system. We perform numerical simulations using diverse model parameters and with different Dirichlet and Neumann boundary conditions to demonstrate the utility and applicability of our combined Taylor-Touchard spectral collocation algorithm.
Spectral collocation with generalized Laguerre operational matrix for numerical solutions of fractional electrical circuit models
Authors: Avcı İbrahim
Published: March 2024

In this paper, we introduce a pioneering numerical technique that combines generalized Laguerre polynomials with an operational matrix of fractional integration to address fractional models in electrical circuits. Specifically focusing on Resistor-Inductor ($RL$), Resistor-Capacitor ($RC$), Resonant (Inductor-Capacitor) ($LC$), and Resistor-Inductor-Capacitor ($RLC$) circuits within the framework of the Caputo derivative, our approach aims to enhance the accuracy of numerical solutions. We meticulously construct an operational matrix of fractional integration tailored to the generalized Laguerre basis vector, facilitating a transformation of the original fractional differential equations into a system of linear algebraic equations. By solving this system, we obtain a highly accurate approximate solution for the electrical circuit model under consideration. To validate the precision of our proposed method, we conduct a thorough comparative analysis, benchmarking our results against alternative numerical techniques reported in the literature and exact solutions where available. The numerical examples presented in our study substantiate the superior accuracy and reliability of our generalized Laguerre-enhanced operational matrix collocation method in effectively solving fractional electrical circuit models.
A fractional mathematical model approach on glioblastoma growth: tumor visibility timing and patient survival
Authors: Kar Nurdan , Özalp Nuri
Published: March 2024

In this paper, we introduce a mathematical model given by

\begin{equation}

{ }^c \mathfrak{D}_t^\alpha u = \nabla \cdot \mathrm{D} \nabla u + \rho f(u) \quad \text{in } \Omega,

\end{equation}

where $f(u)=\frac{1}{1-u/\mathrm{K}}, \, u/\mathrm{K} \neq 1, \, \mathrm{K} > 0$, to enhance established mathematical methodologies for better understanding glioblastoma dynamics at the macroscopic scale. The tumor growth model exhibits an innovative structure even within the conventional framework, including a proliferation term, $f(u)$, presented in a different form compared to existing macroscopic glioblastoma models. Moreover, it represents a further refined model by incorporating a calibration criterion based on the integration of a fractional derivative, $\alpha$, which differs from the existing models for glioblastoma. Throughout this study, we initially discuss the modeling dynamics of the tumor growth model. Given the frequent recurrence observed in glioblastoma cases, we then track tumor mass formation and provide predictions for tumor visibility timing on medical imaging to elucidate the recurrence periods. Furthermore, we investigate the correlation between tumor growth speed and survival duration to uncover the relationship between these two variables through an experimental approach. To conduct these patient-specific analyses, we employ glioblastoma patient data and present the results via numerical simulations. In conclusion, the findings on tumor visibility timing align with empirical observations, and the investigations into patient survival further corroborate the well-established inter-patient variability for glioblastoma cases.

Published: March 2024

This research aims to analyze the contribution and projection of corn food needs. Case study in Kutai Kartanegara Regency, Indonesia. The data used is secondary data sourced from the Kutai Kartanegara Regency Agriculture and Livestock Service and the Central Statistics Agency. The analytical tools used are for sub-district contributions in meeting corn food needs using cross-table analysis, for projections using simple regression analysis, and for projections of needs through population growth using geometric population growth rates. The research results show that the difference between production and corn needs without the National Capital of the Archipelago (IKN), or with the presence of IKN, is a surplus. The contribution of Kutai Kartanegara Regency in meeting the needs of IKN corn, both assuming a population of 1.5 million people and 4.5 million people, has been able to contribute in the high category. Six example sub-districts have also been able to contribute with high criteria. Samboja Sub-District contributes to the need for high category IKN corn. Muara Jawa, Sebulu and Muara Kaman Sub-districts contributed in the low category. Meanwhile, Loa Janan and Tenggarong Seberang Sub-districts have not been able to contribute.
Alguns aspectos epidemiológicos e sociodemográficos da dengue no município de Uberlândia-MG nos anos de 2020 a 2022
Authors: Oliveira João , Rodovalho Gizele , Oliveira Marina
Published: March 2024

Contexto: As atividades humanas possibilitam aproximação com diferentes vetores, aquí os Aedes, responsáveis por diversas doenças, como a Dengue, doença viral e espalhou pelo mundo. No Brasil a transmissão vem ocorrendo de forma continuada e com epidemias. Alguns estudos e pesquisas demonstram que precisamos ampliar as nossas análises críticas, além de dados epidemiológicos, voltando para o contexto territorial, observando onde estamos inseridos, reconhecendo novos saberes, como a Educação Popular em Saúde, as relações interculturais, intersetoriais, dialogadas em redes. Métodos: Os dados foram coletados nas fichas do Sistema de Informação de Agravos de Notificação (SINAN) repassados pela Vigilância Epidemiológica de Uberlândia-MG (VIGEP), de 2020 a 2022, com análises sociodemográficas e epidemiológicas. Resultados: Percebemos aumentos, em 2022, dos casos de dengue em Uberlândia-MG. Os aspectos sociodemográficos penalizam grupos sociais vulneráveis, como mulheres, população de baixa renda e raça negra/parda. O processo de controle da doença continua com práticas biomédicas, as propagandas e os meios de comunicação são unidirecionais, com poucos diálogos educativos. Considerações: Quando os modelos de intervenção sanitária estão focados apenas nos componentes de natureza técnica (respaldados em dados epidemiológicos, gerenciamento vetorial/laboratorial e campanhas de comunicação massivas) as ações terão poucas efetividades, com impactos na saúde de uma parcela da população mais vulnerável. Precisamos de métodos que entendam o processo ambiente-saúde-doença nos contextos multicausais. Os contextos epidemiológicos e sociodemográficos da dengue em Uberlândia-MG demonstraram um perfil da doença com poucas posibilidades de mudanças em vigilancia em saúde.

Klinik araştırmalar, yeni tedavi seçenekleri sunmada ve mevcut tedavileri iyileştirmede insan sağlığı için büyük önem taşımaktadır. Kanser, çağın hastalığı olarak tanımlanmakta ve giderek yaygınlaşmaktadır. Onkoloji klinik araştırmaları kanseri önlemede, tanı ve tedavide güncel yaklaşımlar sunarak hastalar ve aileleri için destekleyici müdahaleler sağlamaktadır. Yapılan çalışmalar sayesinde hastalar için umut verici olan yeni tedavi seçeneklerine erken erişim sağlanabilmektedir. Klinik araştırmalar multidisipliner bir ekip tarafından yürütülmektedir. Bu ekibin bir parçası olan hemşire klinik araştırmalarda yer almakta, rollerini ve sorumluluklarını yerine getirerek klinik araştırmalara önemli katkı sağlamaktadır. Klinik araştırma hemşiresinin görev tanımı, yetiştirilmesi ve istihdam edilmesiyle ilgili ülkemizde yapılan bir düzenleme bulunmamaktadır. Onkoloji hemşiresinin de onkoloji klinik araştırmalarında yer almasına rağmen rol ve sorumlulukları ile ilgili yasal bir düzenleme yoktur. Klinik araştırmaların yürütülmesinde araştırma hemşiresinin rolünün belirlenmesi, hemşirelere önemli bir rehber olarak hasta bakımının iyileştirilmesinde ve hemşirelik biliminin gelişmesinde önemli rol oynayacaktır.

Existence of God and Morality: Scholastic Endeavors by Christian and Muslim
Authors: Arif Salman , Ahmad Usman
Published: March 2024

Religion is the source of objective moral values and obligations that can also be declared as the fundamental beliefs of true religion. This article develops and unites the scholarly perspectives of Muslims and Christians on moral values to establish harmony, unity, and peace between Muslims and Christians globally and to provide a forum where both scholars can respond to common challenges. It argues that accurate moral values necessitate belief in God's existence, as if God does not exist, every evil and criminal activity would be permitted and objective moral values would crumble. The article encompasses Professor John Hare's views on moral values while conducting interviews in the United States at Yale University, and a summary of the common responses of both religions on moral values will be discussed.

An Overview of Islamic banking in Pakistan: Modern Economic Perspectives
Authors: Sardar Sadia , Iqbal Muhammad Farooq
Published: March 2024

As a result of this study, we want to better understand Pakistan's economic Islamization process and its influence on people's material well-being in light of the economic provisions of the Qur'an and Sunnah (PBUH), in addition to the World Bank's framework for material well-being. According to this study, the Islamic legal notion of daruriyyat (necessities), as articulated in Maqasid al-Shariah, is identical to the English phrase "material well-being." Since the 1980s, economic Islamization ideology has been marketed as the sole answer to all economic problems generated by interest-based capitalism, and the purpose of this study is to investigate how this has happened. The fact that more than 60% of Pakistanis do not have access to the material well-being envisioned by the Islamic Legal System and the World Bank, after over three decades of economic Islamization, is concerning. There is a claim that Islamic economics and finance have been unable to alleviate Pakistan's economic woes in recent years. A study conducted by the Islamic Center for Social Justice and the World Bank found that it was unable to aid those who were deprived of reaching material well-being. Finally, a number of proposals are made in order to aid Pakistan in improving its current Islamic economic and financial circumstances.

Breaking the Silence; Reproductive and Sexual Health of Women Undergoing Hemodialysis, A Literature Review
Authors: Zafar Misbah , Jan Rafat , Rattani Salam , Chagani Sajida
Published: March 2024

As the basis for the continued existence of the human race, sexuality is a crucial aspect of human life. If this special aspect of human life is disturbed, it can hurt one's self-confidence and self-esteem and negatively impact social and marital relationships. Given the significance of sexuality, sexual and reproductive health is regarded as a fundamental human right and a crucial element of general health. However, sexual and reproductive health issues appear to be very common in chronic kidney disease (CKD) patients, particularly among women on hemodialysis. The common sexual and reproductive health issues identified among women in literature are hypoactive sexual desire, pain, infertility, menstrual disturbances. These issues impact their marital lives and quality of life. Regardless of the fact that women undergoing hemodialysis face numerous challenges, healthcare professionals often overlook this important aspect of their lives and they are not counselled about the maintenance of their sexual and reproductive health. In Pakistan, there is dearth of literature exploring sexual and reproductive health issues of women undergoing hemodialysis so there is a need to investigate this area of concern.
