Political and philosophical theories that dominate the structure of the Greek educational system
Authors: Neofotistos Vasileios , Papastathis Theofanis
Published: November 2024

Modernism and postmodernism are two opposed approaches that are directly related to how each human mind sees and perceives the world and how to make it better. In the Greek educational system, in both primary and secondary education, an effort is made to general restructure the curriculum by promoting the use of new teaching methods in the educational process. Through the presentation of the two opposing perspectives the evolution of knowledge into a more complex process, which aims at learning and specialization serving the purposes and goals of a society that moves within a globalized economic environment. The study adopted a qualitative approach through document analysis. Regarding the research, the official texts-legislations from the Ministry of Education and Religions were used as the primary material to ensure the validity and reliability of the data. The documents used concerned the legislation contained in the reforms concerning the education system of Greece. The successful implementation of educational technology in schools does not depend solely on accessibility or the lack of any factor. It depends on a dynamic process that includes several interrelated factors, such as adequate support from managers, the existence of forecasting and planning of the supply chain to keep pace with new technological developments, equitable digital infrastructure of schools, acceptance the usefulness of the use of technology and the continuous information and acquisition of knowledge by teachers concerning information and communication technologies, as well as their correlation with innovative teaching methods. The flow of the study of the reforms of the Greek education system recognizes a smooth transition from the period of modernism to postmodernism, albeit with a delay compared to the rest of Europe. The continuous reforms in education have brought positive results in terms of the transformation of the public good of education into a postmodern version of it. Consistency and the need for improvement are guided by ensuring the quality of education and the preservation of the participants (students, teachers, families, and society) in it. However, it is worth noting that reform changes, which did not have substantial real changes, created an unstable environment, which hurt education itself.
ENGLISH: PROPHET MUHAMMAD (PBUH) AS A MILITARY STRATEGIST: LESSONS FOR MODERN WARFARE
Authors:   Dean, faculty of Islamic studies University of Sindh Jamshoro, Ahmed khan Hafiz Munir , Hussain Abrar ,   Lecturer, Department of Islamic Studies and Comparitive Religion, Peshawar Medical College, Prime Foundation,Riphah International University, 2520, Islamabad
Published: November 2024

The present piece of writing discusses about the outstanding military tactics of Prophet Muhammad that are applicable to complexities of warfare in contemporary times. The prophet was not only a strategic genius but also tender-hearted military general who worked towards permanent peace. Besides winning many wars like Badr, Uhud and Khandaq due to good tactical thinking, he had understanding of human nature and life itself. This rapid adaptation time under dynamic circumstances, foreseeing the enemy’s tactics by a little insight and upliftment of soldiers through the idea justice as well as goals laid down by him is still relevant in present day military operations that were never religiously tolerant until they kill every single weak group’s member during which settling for peaceful coexistence has been defined over a long term. These principles are timeless in an intricate world with battles dominated patterns throughout its narrative history. they tell us that real battlefield leaders are not those who have great armies alone; they entail wisdom, moral principles plus everyone’s welfare. Through historical narratives this research aims at showing how today’s military leaders can derive inspiration from Prophet’s methods that lead them into victory as well as humanity.

Published: November 2024

In nuisance or vector mosquito management, effective sampling is a stepping stone to efficient use of resources, targeted control efforts, and successful reduction of disease transmission. Experimental evidence indicates that there are species biases for certain traps, which in turn implies that the traps used will influence the species make-up of samples collected. A comparative study between 3 CO2-baited light traps and 2 hay-infusion baited gravid traps—Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) light trap, American BioPhysics Company (ABC) light trap, Reiter-Cummings (RC) gravid trap, and a convertible gravid/light trap with a novel design—was conducted to test for species specificity of each trap type. It was found that different species of mosquitoes are more likely to be collected in greater numbers with certain traps compared to others, even between the different light traps or gravid traps. In particular, Coquillettidia perturbans tended to be collected in greater numbers with CDC light traps, Culex salinarius tended to be collected in greater numbers with the experimental convertible light traps, and Culex pipiens tended to be collected in greater numbers with the Reiters-Cummings gravid traps over the other traps included in the study (P ≤ 0.05). The overall species richness of samples was comparable among trap types, with similar performance of the new trap designs as established designs (P ≤ 0.05).
Tackling data and model drift in AI: Strategies for maintaining accuracy during ML model inference
Authors: Surya Gangadhar Patchipala
Published: November 2024

In machine learning (ML) and artificial intelligence (AI), model accuracy over time is very important, particularly in dynamic environments where data and relationships change. Data and model drift pose challenging issues that this paper seeks to explore: shifts in input data distributions or underlying model structures that continuously degrade predictive performance. It analyzes different drift types in-depth, including covariate, prior probability, concept drift for dasta, parameters, hyperparameter, and algorithmic model drift. Key causes, ranging from environmental changes to evolving data sources and overfitting, contribute to decreased model reliability. The article also discusses practical strategies for detecting and mitigating Drift, such as regular monitoring, statistical tests, and performance tracking, alongside solutions like automated recalibration, ensemble methods, and online learning models to enhance adaptability. Furthermore, the importance of feedback loops and computerized systems in handling Drift is emphasized, with real-world case studies illustrating drift impacts in financial and healthcare applications. Finally, future AI system drift management will be highlighted from emerging directions such as AI-based drift prediction, transfer learning, and robust model design.
India's strategic influence in BRICS: Balancing power with diplomacy
Authors: Gedam Kamalakar
Published: November 2024

India's strategic role within the BRICS (Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South Africa) grouping highlights its growing influence in global geopolitics. This paper explores how India leverages BRICS as a platform to balance power, especially vis-à-vis China, while promoting multilateralism and economic cooperation. As the only democratic nation within BRICS with a robust engagement in both the Global South and Western alliances, India strategically navigates its diplomatic relations to push for reforms in global governance structures such as the United Nations and financial institutions like the IMF and World Bank. Through a combination of economic outreach, leadership in technology and digital finance, and a firm stance on sovereignty, India is positioning itself as a bridge between competing global powers, while advocating for equitable global development. The paper argues that India's balancing act within BRICS underscores its aspirations to be a leading global player while protecting its national interests and regional stability.

Space-based solar power: Unlocking continuous, renewable energy through wireless transmission from space
Authors: Kelvin Edem Bassey  , Shahab Anas Rajput  , Olaniyi Oluwaseun Oladepo
Published: November 2024

Space-Based Solar Power (SBSP) is an emerging technology that aims to harness the abundant and uninterrupted solar energy available in space and beam it wirelessly to Earth. This innovative approach addresses the limitations of terrestrial solar energy, such as weather variability and the day-night cycle, by positioning solar power stations in space where sunlight is constant. The stations, composed of large arrays of solar panels, capture the solar energy and convert it into microwaves or laser beams, which are then transmitted to receiving stations on Earth for conversion into usable electricity. Research in SBSP focuses on optimal orbital positions, with geostationary and low Earth orbits being considered for maximum energy capture and efficient transmission. Advancements in materials, wireless power transmission technologies, and space-based assembly techniques are critical to the design and deployment of these stations. Additionally, economic and technical feasibility studies explore the challenges of launching, maintaining, and scaling SBSP systems. These include high initial costs, energy transmission efficiency, safety concerns, and the logistics of long-term maintenance. The potential benefits of SBSP are significant. It offers a clean, renewable energy source that could meet the growing global demand for electricity while reducing reliance on fossil fuels. By providing continuous energy, SBSP could enhance energy security and contribute to global efforts to combat climate change. However, several challenges remain, including addressing space debris risks and ensuring the safety of high-power energy transmission to Earth. As research and technological advancements continue, SBSP holds promise as a transformative solution for future energy needs.
Poligami Vis a Vis Monogami (Analisis Dalil Normatif dan Sosio-Historis Legalitas Poligami dalam Literatur Keislaman)
Authors: Fudola Intihaul , Yusuf Wildan Fatoni
Published: November 2024

Abstract
The issue of polygamy has always been a social problem that causes polarization between the groups that support and reject it. This discussion should no longer revolve around whether polygamy is allowed. Furthermore, the discussion on polygamy should lead to the issue of how polygamy can be placed proportionally as something logical and just. This article seeks to situate the issue of polygamy by reviewing various perspectives. The focus of this study is as follows. 1) What is the background to the legality of polygamy in Islam? 2) Does Islam advocate polygamy or monogamy, the model of marriage expected by Islam? This study used a library research method. The approaches used were the normative approach (fiqh), the social conditions of society when the polygamy verse was revealed (socio-historical), and the cultural approach of pre-Islamic society. The results show that 1) polygamy was legalized at that time because it aimed to avoid the Arab habit of marrying female orphans and engaging in injustice. Instead, Islam legalized the polygamy that had become a tradition of the Arabs before as an emergency measure. 2) Islam came to reduce the practice of polygamy, which was done far from justice. Instead, monogamy became the principle of marriage expected by Islam to achieve the goal of marriage: sakinah, mawaddah, and rahmah.

Authors: Ruslan Arifin  , Muhammad Kurniawa Budi Wibowo  , Aditya Fajri Kurnia Pradana
Published: November 2024

A license to practice polygamy was granted by the Surakarta Religious Court in case number 366/Pdt.G/2023/PA.Ska. The respondent's postpartum depression and anxiety disorders were the cause of this decision. Nevertheless, these requirements are not fully explained by the laws regulating polygamy, such as Article 57 KHI and Article 4 paragraph (2) of the Marriage Law. The author of this paper examines the legal factors that judges at the Surakarta Religious Court took into account while making their decision in case number 366/Pdt.G/2023/PA.Ska. Prescriptive normative research methodology is employed in this study, which collects primary and secondary data. The primary focus of this research is secondary data gathered from a review of the literature. The findings demonstrated that the court based the facultative requirements in polygamy instances on Article 4 paragraph (2) of the Marriage Law. In addition, judges also use the principle of benefit to accept polygamy applications. In this case, the judge considered the benefits of polygamy rather than limiting the number of wives, unless the wife suffered from mental disorders after giving birth

Authors: Mazurova Oksana , Ramazanov Rasul
Published: November 2024

In the modern world, hundreds of large projects are developed every day, and thousands of startups with a wide variety of topics appear, developers start creating their projects, companies modernize old projects. Each of these activities has something in common - the way they store and manipulate data. Almost all modern projects have a database, because it becomes simply impossible to interact with the client without it. Now, no matter what your application, service, game or anything else is, it is necessary for the user to be able to have his account page, save progress, anything that needs to be saved locally or in the cloud or on the server. And a modern developer can use the database directly or through special database access technologies, including through ORM or Micro ORM. The subject is the study of access technologies for working with relational databases. The goal is to compare the efficiency, flexibility and use of various access technologies when working with the MS SQL SERVER database. Task: to investigate access technologies to MS SQL SERVER. Collect the technical characteristics of queries when using different database access technologies. Compare the results. Methods: analysis of MS SQL SERVER access technologies, experimental research, statistical analysis of results. Results: it is shown how access technologies such as ORM Entity Framework, Micro ORM Dapper and ADO.NET differ in use, it is shown that the performance is most effective in ADO.NET, followed by Dapper and in third place among the access technologies used in terms of efficiency is Entity Framework . But it is shown how the type of request contributes to the efficiency of execution by various technologies. Conclusions: ORMs are used in cases where it is necessary to work with a database using an object-oriented approach. ORM transforms data from the database into objects in the application, which facilitates interaction with the database and reduces the amount of code that must be written to work with the database. Micro ORMs are used when the speed of execution of requests to the database is required, or if the project is small in scope and does not need the full functionality of ORM. Micro ORM is smaller, faster and easier to use than ORM. ADO.NET is recommended when direct interaction with databases is needed.. ADO.NET allows you to create multithreaded and distributed applications, interact with databases using transactions, and manage data security. It is more extensible and scalable than ORM and Micro ORM, but requires more code to interact with the database.

Published: November 2024

The methods of image compression for storage in decentralized blockchain repositories, specifically in the IPFS system, are examined. A methodology for evaluating the efficiency of different image compression algorithms is proposed, incorporating both lossless compression (PNG, TIFF, GIF) and lossy compression (JPEG, WEBP). The comparison includes metrics such as file size, image quality (measured by PSNR), upload time to IPFS, and bandwidth for each compression method. Each image is hashed, and the hash is stored in a smart contract within a local blockchain network deployed using Ganache. Such methods enable the optimization of image storage and transfer within blockchain repositories, ensuring a balance between image quality, file size, and access speed.
Construction of explanations at the local level of decision-making process representation for internal users of the intelligent system
Authors: Chalyi S. , Leshchynskyi V.
Published: November 2024

The subject of study in the article is the processes of constructing explanations for the obtained results and the sequence of decision-making actions in an intelligent information system. The goal is to develop an approach to constructing explanations at the local level of representation of the decision-making process of an intelligent system based on building temporal and causal dependencies, which creates conditions for identifying "bottlenecks" of this process when representing the intelligent system as a "gray" box. Tasks: development of an explanation model at the local level of representation for internal users of an intelligent system; development of a method for constructing explanations at the local level of representation of the decision-making process of an intelligent system. The approaches used are: methods of constructing explanations, approaches to constructing temporal knowledge. Conclusions. The scientific novelty of the obtained results is as follows. An explanation model at the local level of representation of the decision-making process for internal users of an intelligent information system has been developed. The model uses a combination of temporal dependencies that determine the linear sequence of process actions and causal rules-constraints that specify mandatory actions performed for all variants of the decision-making process. The proposed model creates conditions for identifying actions that limit the normal execution of the decision-making process and lead to results that do not meet the requirements of external users. A method for constructing explanations at the local level of representation of the decision-making process of an intelligent system has been developed. The method involves identifying temporal dependencies between pairs of consecutive states of the current decision-making process, selecting temporal dependencies that are performed for all variants of the decision-making process, and forming causal dependencies based on them. Using the method makes it possible to present decision-making constraints as an explanation, which creates conditions for identifying bottlenecks in the sequence of actions for obtaining a result in an intelligent system.

En primer término se examina el tipo de helada predominante en la provincia de Córdoba, haciendo hincapié en el proceso dinámico desencadenante del fenómeno. Luego se compara la información sobre el régimen de heladas correspondiente a la primera mitad del siglo con la ocurrida en el periodo 1968/87. Se determina que las temperaturas mínimas en la actualidad acusan un comportamiento menos intenso, produciendo en las localidades de Río Cuarto y Pilar valores medios significativamente diferentes a los de la serie de referencia. El problema de las heladas otoñales en ningún sitio analizado alcanza el nivel de riesgo del 20% establecido en el concepto del índice de peligro de heladas (ICK). En primavera, en cambio, el problema resulta más frecuente de lo estipulado conceptualmente en Marcos Juárez y Villa de María del Río Seco.

The decision-making technique is used to evaluate the best optimal among the collection of finite alternatives. Further, the technique of complex p, q-rung orthopair fuzzy (CPQROF) set is very reliable and dominant due to parameters “p” and “q”. In contrast, the technique of simple q-rung orthopair fuzzy sets is the special case of the CPQROF set. The major theme of this article is to expose the novel theory of fairly operational laws based on CPQROF numbers (CPQROFNs). Further, we evaluate the weighted fairly aggregation operators based on CPQROF information, called CPQROF weighted fairly averaging (CPQROFWFA) operator and CPQROF ordered weighted fairly averaging (CPQROFOWFA) operator. Some properties are also discussed for the above operators. Additionally, we validate the system of multi-attribute decision-making (MADM) difficulties based on initiated operators. Finally, we associate our suggested ranking consequences with approximately prevailing techniques to demonstrate the proposed theory's sovereignty and validity.
What drives antisemitic hostility in the 21st century? A comparative case study of Germany, Sweden, and Russia (1990–2020)

What drives antisemitic hostility in the 21st century? The literature offers two competing theoretical frameworks: generalist and particularist. Generalists argue that antisemitism is a manifestation of general outgroup hostility, common to various forms of prejudice. In contrast, particularists stress the contextual specificity of antisemitism, arguing that its 21st century expressions are closely linked to antizionist sentiment—hostility toward Zionism, Israel, and its supporters. This study evaluates these frameworks through a comparative and longitudinal case study of antisemitic hostility in Germany, Sweden, and Russia between 1990 and 2020, relying on a mixed-methods approach that triangulates quantitative and qualitative data. Findings indicate that the particularist model accounts better for observed patterns of variation in antisemitic hostility and aggression, with antizionist sentiment serving as a key mediating factor, such that flare-ups in the Middle East conflict generate antisemitic hostility in other societies depending on the strength of local antizionist sentiment. More broadly, the results support emerging theorizing in prejudice research distinguishing between generalized and outgroup-specific forms of prejudice.
Now is the Time: Generative Neurophenomenology Beyond Generative Passages and Generative Models
Authors: Monnier Anne , Adel Lena , Dumas Guillaume
Published: November 2024

Generative phenomenology investigates consciousness by incorporating its intersubjective, social, cultural, and historical dimensions. For the past 30 years, the neurophenomenology pragmatic approach has embraced an embodied perspective of the mind by integrating experiential first-person and neurobehavioural third-person data. Neurophenomenology reveals mutual constraints between the two, as first- and third-person data co-constitute the conscious experience of a person. This article emphasises the intersubjective and social facets of lived experience as well as the readiness of the community to use a "generative neurophenomenology" approach. For this endeavour, we propose to combine existing practices and methods to update the neurophenomenological program of research started in the 90ies: First, by transitioning from individual to multiple people phenomenology methods that include intersubjectivity experience; second, by expanding traditional neuroscience to include measures of multimodal interpersonal synchrony; and third, by leveraging multiple computational tools to integrate different viewpoints, thereby enriching our understanding of conscious experience, on top of better capturing invariants of human experience; We also underscore the potential of diverse mathematical formalisms to capture aspects of human experience, all while underscoring that using computational approaches to model neurophenomenology does not entail endorsing computationalism as a grounding hypothesis of human experience. Finally, we highlight the implications of using this paradigm in psychiatry.
A Generalized Constructive Proof for Brouwer Fixed-Point Theorem on D^2 and D^3
Authors: Yang Ruohan
Published: November 2024

This article present a constructive proof by analyzing decompositions of continuous vector field. The original proof of Brouwer's theorem relies on a contradiction argument, which, while effective, does not offer a constructive method for locating the fixed point. Through projecting arbitrary vector field the basis of the vector field, it can be proved there exists zero points on both of the basis. The article will also generalize the proof from 2D to 3D dimensions. The method is also valid under surjective and scaling map.

ABSTRACT Background: Rates of common mental disorders (CMD), such as anxiety and depression, treated in primary care have increased among young adults in the UK. However, it remains unclear whether this increase reflects a greater tendency to seek help for CMD or a rise in CMD symptoms over time. Additionally, it is not clear if these increases are more pronounced in specific sociodemographic groups. This research examined the temporal trends of primary care-recorded CMD and self-reported CMD symptoms in young adults. Methods: We included participants born between 1980 and 2003 in two datasets: UK primary care records from the Clinical Practice Research Datalink, and longitudinal cohort data from Understanding Society. We estimated the annual incidence of primary care-recorded CMD overall and by sex, age, birth cohort, ethnicity, country, region, and deprivation from 2009 to 2019, and explored changes over time using incidence rate ratios. We compared these trends to annual estimates of self-reported CMD symptoms from longitudinal cohort data between 2009-10 and 2019-20, calculating ratios to explore changes in CMD symptoms over time by sociodemographic group. Results: Between 2009 and 2019, the incidence of recorded CMD increased by 9·90% and CMD symptoms increased by 19·33%. The sharpest increases for both recorded CMD and CMD symptoms were observed in older adolescents (ages 16-19) and those born after 1995. Recorded CMD increased more in males (20·61%, increase) than in females (7·65%), despite similar increases in CMD symptoms. Recorded CMD increased the most in the least deprived areas of England (16·34%) compared to the most deprived areas (3·55%), despite similar increases in CMD symptoms across all levels of deprivation. Conclusions: Both primary care-recorded CMD and self-reported CMD symptoms in young adults increased between 2009-19, suggesting that the rising rates of CMD treated in primary care may reflect heightened symptoms of CMD. However, differences in the patterns of recorded CMD and CMD symptoms across sociodemographic groups highlight potential misalignment between mental health care provision and underlying population need, suggesting that the groups with the highest burden of CMD symptoms may not be the groups most likely to receive care.
