Authors: Soares Caroline Barros
Published: February 2025

Este artigo contemplou a prática de analisar o estatuto das Damas Israelitas no Pará de 1948, a partir da abordagem de gênero decolonial sobre as dinâmicas das mulheres do estatuto, desenvolvendo uma análise do discurso a partir da judaicidade. Os objetivos foram analisar o discurso do estatuto das Damas Israelitas, visando uma melhor compreensão sobre suas agências. A metodologia envolveu uma revisão bibliográfica da historiografia judaica, mais precisamente sobre as judias, além de contemplar o conceito de sionismo e judaicidade, resultando assim na tranversalização de saberes sobre o feminino, o sionismo e a judaicidade na Belém de 1948. Em síntese, é necessário pensar nas Damas Israelitas por uma abordagem de gênero que transpassa a identidade judaica e o movimento sionista na Amazônia.

Authors: da Silva Isadora Duarte
Published: February 2025

The objective of this study was to analyze the progression of services offered in the city of Nova Cruz, from the 1950s to the present day. The methodology used was a theoretical and historical review of the evolution of services provided in the city of Nova Cruz-RN, as well as field visits, with the aim of mapping the main services in the city, photographing and observing the urban dynamics generated by them. In addition, the REGIC methodologies were revisited and analyzed to understand the centrality of Nova Cruz. The results showed that cotton was the economic activity that gave visibility to the city, however, with its decline, the space was used by other services: supermarket chains, retail and wholesale segments, universities, federal institutes, the National Institute of Social Security, the Regional Directorate of Education and Culture, banks and others. It is concluded that the absence of these services and their concentration in Nova Cruz reinforce their importance in the region.

Published: February 2025

The açaí palm ( Euterpe oleracea Mart.) is a palm tree native to the Amazon floodplains, with increasing relevance in the national and international market, which has generated greater interest in its cultivation. Currently, the extractive exploitation of the açaí palm has been partially replaced by agricultural crops on dry land, indicating the need for studies related to the species. In a seedbed of the Municipal Secretariat of Agriculture and Rural and Economic Development (SEMADRE) of Cametá-PA, the growth analysis of the species E. oleracea (chumbinho) was carried out using the following parameters: stem height, radicle length, wet weight, dry weight, moisture content and absolute growth rate (AGR). After the 45th day of sowing, four collections (treatments) of plants were carried out in the following periods: five (5), ten (10), fifteen (15) and twenty-five (25) days after emergence in seedbed. In each period, 30 plants/treatment (time) were randomly collected, with 10 seedlings per replicate. The samples were analyzed at Campus XVIII of the State University of Pará. The seedlings, without seeds, were measured, weighed and dried in an oven at 80°C for 24 to 36 hours, until they reached constant weight. Most of the seeds showed aerial emergence after 30 days, in the so-called stick stage, with height ranging from 2.5 to 7.7 cm. In the first treatment (5 days), the average values ​​recorded were: radicle length of 5.43 cm, stem height of 5.81 cm, wet weight of 0.43 g and dry weight of 0.09 g. The ACR was 0.004 g.day⁻¹, indicating the average growth rate. Based on the stem length, adjusted by linear regression, the ideal time to transplant the seedlings into polyethylene bags was estimated at 75.58 days. These results contribute to optimizing the management of dry land cultivation.

Authors: Shlieina Liudmyla , Tkachenko Nataliia , Kurok Roman , Lagodych Tetiana , Liashenko Rostyslav
Published: February 2025

Introduction: The pedagogical practice of the pandemic and post-pandemic periods shows a significant impact of hybrid forms of education on the quality of education. The study aims to determine their effectiveness and identify the most effective pedagogical transformations for further implementation in pedagogical practice.Methods: The study used questionnaires, a comparison of learning outcomes, a pedagogical experiment, and a statistical evaluation of the results of the pedagogical experiment. Three levels of effectiveness of post-pandemic transformations in pedagogy are outlined: low, medium and high. The questionnaire revealed that an increase in the share of independent work, work with digital learning tools, mixed forms of learning outcomes assessment have an average impact on the quality of learning, while the restriction of social contacts due to the prevalence of distance learning formats, a sharp transition to online learning, an increase in the workload of teachers and a reduction in practice for natural science have a negative impact and should be excluded from the educational process.Results: The article compares the impact of hybrid forms and post-pandemic transformations on the quality of education for the control and experimental groups before and after the experiment. It is determined that the mixed form of learning, open educational resources, and adaptive technologies for personalisation of learning are the most effective hybrid forms that can be enforced in the post-pandemic period.Conclusions: The analysis of the learning outcomes of higher education students in the testing group after the experiment showed that implementing the outlined hybrid forms of education increases the number of students with excellent, already good and good learning outcomes and decreases the number of students with low levels of learning.
Research Done Right: A Practical Guide to Social Science Research : Part 1: Methodology and Perspective
Authors: Delnooz Paul V.A.
Published: February 2025

Make no mistake, research can be fun!
This book about research challenges you to think critically about the social sciences. Plus, through examples and anecdotes, it invites you to reflect on the research methods used in it.

The topics we cover in it include:
• What perspectives are there on scientific inquiry?
• Why is the current understanding of the social sciences changing so significantly?
• How should a study be evaluated today, now that perspectives on science are changing?
• What is the right way to write a research proposal?
• How should a practical issue be analysed?
• How should one apply data collection techniques, such as questionnaires, interviews, and observation?
• What is the right way to draw both non-random and random samples?
• How do you set about analysing the data you have collected in a survey?

This book discusses vital questions. For example: what are the strengths and weaknesses of the “old” way of doing research, which focuses primarily on building theories? Conversely, what are the strengths and weaknesses of the emerging “new” way of doing research, which aims to find solutions for practical issues? And what is the value of insights that are yielded by statistics, such as “parents” level of education affects a child’s school performance? When we pose basic questions like these, we are talking about the “hidden secrets of science”. These are vital everyday questions that often don’t get addressed enough in academia because researchers would rather not invite “too much” questioning of their research results.

This book is a must for anyone who wants to learn how to:
• think critically about research;
• set up and conduct research themselves;
• assess the results of research.

The Storied Self
Authors: Stevens Bruce A.
Published: February 2025

We are multistoried; each story contributing to who we are – the storied self. A number of undeveloped stories are identified in this book. This includes the hidden story before language. Others include the lazy story, the trauma story, the messy story, the body story, the problem story and the dark story. The God story brings the spiritual realm into focus. The challenge in spiritual care is to help people find an integrative deep story which can be re-authored with new and exciting possibilities. This book draws on the insights of narrative gerontology for a natural, engaging and more comprehensive spiritual care of the aged – one that results in psychological and spiritual growth. This is a unique idea which will challenge the way we think about pastoral care.

Sacred unions and silent narratives
Authors: Gardner-Thorpe Amelia
Published: February 2025

This paper examines and explains the inclusion and omission of marriage alliances between boyar women and Novgorod princes in the twelfth century within Rus’ian and Moscow chronicle texts composed between the fourteenth and sixteenth century. Though minor and sporadic entries, they reveal their place and significance within a much wider political narrative that encompasses relationships between Novgorodian boyar clans, boroughs of Novgorod which could function as political factions, and “outsider” princes looking to claim the Novgorodian throne. Moreover, they unmask the socio-political dispositions guiding or even proscribing the composition of chronicle texts in Rus’ and Moscow – from distrust and dislike for Vladimirian-Suzdal’ian princes in the First Novgorod Chronicle to the praise and legitimization of those same princes (direct ancestors of the Danilovich line) in the Nikonian Chronicle and Illuminated Chronicle Codex of the Sixteenth Century. This article proposes that even the most unassuming entry in the Novgorod and Moscow chronicles can reveal truths about the socio-political relationship between princes of the same or separate family lines, between boyars and princes, and the social contract of marriage and its relationship to Novgorod politics at large. Historians may weave these small threads, if cautiously, into a much larger picture of well-studied Rus’ chronicle narratives to better understand how medieval chroniclers understood and conveyed personal relationships and political alliances throughout their texts over time.

Malware detection is a vital problem, and efficient methods that can efficiently detect malware are needed. The increasing use of mobile computers makes malware detection a vital part of security in an era where smartphones have come to play a key role in many of our daily lives. Earlier approaches, however, suffer from high false positive rates; they are not scalable for larger databases, or they are not amenable to adapt well to novel zero-day malware. For these reasons, the demand for more sensitive and flexible detection models is high. In this study, we develop a hybrid mobile malware detection framework that leverages ant colony optimization (ACO) and deep neural networks (DNNs) to improve detection accuracy, reduce the rate of false positives, and make the model resilient to new malware. AntDroidNet is a novel ACO-enabled feature selection model that dynamically reduces the feature dimensionality by selecting single instances to include the most informative properties and avoid dimensionality. A DNN is consequently constructed to train the determined set of features, improving the identified classification performance and decreasing the number of instances with false discoveries. In this way, a self-optimizing feedback loop can iteratively improve the feature selection process given the performance of the DNN, leading to a dynamic and efficient detection model. Using the CICMalDroid2020 dataset, the proposed AntDroidNet model achieves a remarkable accuracy of 99.89% and an excellent false positive rate of only 0.13% and outperforms the classical machine learning algorithms in terms of accuracy and efficiency. AntDroidNet is a scalable and powerful mobile malware detection model that eclipses all state-of-the-art methods and shows important enhancements in efficiency and reliability. By prototyping whitelisting systems, this work opens new avenues in mobile security and lays the groundwork for future work on building real-time detection components and system components able to scale to the fast pace of evolution of mobile malware in new connected ecosystems.
Enhancing Crime Detection in Video Surveillance via a Lightweight Blockchain and Homomorphic Encryption-based Computer Vision System
Authors: Jaber Tanya Abdulsattar
Published: February 2025

Blockchain technology consists of distributed ledgers or database systems, regarded as immutable, secure, and innovative, characterized by unsupervised internal maintenance with a special security protocol used to prevent inference from malicious or third parties. The widespread use of this technology has led to deep research into the problems posed by this technology, which can be summarized in terms of computational cost and latency time. The crime detection process in video surveillance has made great progress with the use of technologies such as the Internet of Things and blockchain technologies. However, to reach high levels of security in the physical crime detection process in which data are sent to servers via a computer network, there must be a high degree of security for Internet of Things systems related to the crime detection process. There has been a significant increase in the number of problems associated with crime detection in video surveillance systems, including the modification of surveillance data during transfer to and from servers. For this reason, establishing a reliable and secure system for transferring video surveillance data to servers has become a high priority. This paper presents a lightweight security system to protect data generated in the crime detection process, both from video surveillance cameras and the servers that store these data. The challenges related to IoT-based video surveillance cameras and monitoring and control centers have been considered, turning the system primarily into a decentralized system. In this paper, a lightweight blockchain system based on a proof of secret share consensus algorithm technology is proposed, along with the encryption of surveillance data via modified Okamoto–Uchiyama homomorphic encryption technology. The proposed system is evaluated via standard blockchain and security evaluation metrics, demonstrating efficient utilization of computational costs and realization of security, with a high scalability rate. The VGG16 deep learning model is employed in the proposed system to detect and classify criminal activities in surveillance videos. Owing to its ability to identify patterns and anomalies, the model achieved an accuracy of 94%, demonstrating a high level of performance in crime detection and prevention. Overall, the use of VGG16 provides an efficient and reliable approach for improving the security of public spaces and reducing the risk of criminal activity.

During COVID-19 pandemic, various tourism activities were banned to prevent the widespread of the virus. Travel restrictions had a negative impact on the tourism sector. To save the travel industry, the Travel Bubble program was initiated in some destinations. In Malaysia, Langkawi Island was chosen as the pilot Travel Bubble program which started on September 16, 2021. This study aims to investigate the impact of the Travel Bubble, particularly on Muslim-friendly budget hotels, in two situations: during and one and a half years after the launching of Travel Bubble program. A qualitative method with semi-structured interviews was conducted with seven Muslim-friendly Budget Hotel managers. The findings revealed that the Travel Bubble program was initially helping boost the tourism sector. However, it only benefits several hotels, while others are still struggling. This research highlights the need to promote Muslim-friendly budget hotels’ survival. It contributes to national and local planning, particularly in the tourism sector in Langkawi.
Exploring Easy-to-Use OER Curation Spaces
Authors: Antes Isabelle
Published: February 2025

This exploratory piece is intended to set the stage for an ongoing conversation about Open Educational Resources (OER). The current OER landscape has hundreds of repositories and thousands of curated guides and lists for finding OER— few of which “talk” to each other behind the scenes, resulting in separate and often redundant resources and the duplication of labor. The tool proposed in this exploratory piece is an iterative solution to this problem and focuses on how OER advocates, like librarians and instructional designers, can work together to create an environment that is welcoming and easy to use for educators. The tool aims to reduce redundancies in the OER space while simultaneously offering support to those who are in time-poor roles.
The Exhibited Use of Trauma-Informed Principles in Academic Success Programs: A Scoping Review
Authors: Fealy Cari , Holyoke Laura
Published: February 2025

University leaders spend significant resources developing retention strategies, including promoting personal connections, engagement, and a sense of belonging for students and have recently infused trauma-informed care as a retention strategy. Although colleges are increasingly recognizing the impact of trauma on student success, trauma-exposed students often face higher barriers in accessing and utilizing available resources and developing social connections, which can lead to decreased retention. In this scoping review, we explored how academic success programs exhibit the use of SAMHSA’s (2014) trauma-informed principles on their program websites. We found elements of trauma-informed principles exhibited across academic success program web- sites although no academic success programs explicitly referenced using trauma-informed principles or practices. Our results serve as a foundation for further research on how trauma-informed practices impact college students’ sense of belonging and how they overcome academic setbacks.
CPEC: Socio, Cultural and Economic Effects on Gilgit-Baltistan
Authors: Awais Ali Ch  , Dr. Abdul Qadir Mushtaq
Published: February 2025

The China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC) serves as a major South Asian infrastructure initiative which seeks to unify areas through expanded connectivity and economic cooperation. Gilgit-Baltistan (GB) stands as a vital transit area within CPEC because it faces extensive changes involving economic growth and cultural shifts as well as environmental impacts. A qualitative investigation using secondary resources examines how CPEC affects Gilgit-Baltistan. The acceleration of economic growth and infrastructure upgrade and trade expansion through CPEC brings specific employment balance issues as well as cultural transitions and environmental deterioration and governance related challenges. The economic possibilities of CPEC coexist with limited opportunities for skilled employment which are allocated to outside workers - leading to doubts about fair development practices. The impact of businesses operating in the area together with foreign linguistic influences threatens the traditional lifestyle and local culture which leads to cultural decline. Large construction activities in the region produce environmental impacts like deforestation alongside pollution and glacial retreat which endanger its sensitive natural systems. A vital political problem persists because Gilgit-Baltistan operates without influencing policy decisions for CPEC. To achieve lasting success in Gilgit-Baltistan through CPEC the project requires both inclusive economic policies alongside sustainable development platforms along with cultural maintenance safeguards and governmental reforms. The author proposes implementing workforce development initiatives combined with environmental protection measures and clear governance systems to distribute CPEC-related benefits fairly across all stakeholders.

The geography of workplace distribution in Pakistan highlights the uneven concentration of job opportunities in urban areas due to rapid urbanization, posing significant challenges for human resource professionals in managing talent and fostering equitable workforce development. This study looks at Pakistan's workplace distribution geography, with a particular emphasis on urbanization developments and the difficulties that HR professionals face as a result. A standardized questionnaire measuring workplace dispersion, urbanization trends, and HR difficulties was used to gather quantitative data from 200 professionals in urban and semi-urban locations working in a variety of businesses. In order to gather information on workforce management, employee retention, and talent acquisition, the instrument had verified scales. Regression analysis and descriptive statistics were used to examine the data in order to find trends and connections. The findings reveal a rapid concentration of workplaces in cities, driven by urbanization and industrial growth, leading to a disparity in job opportunities between urban and rural areas. This urban-centric development has intensified challenges for human resource professionals, including talent acquisition, employee retention, and workforce management in overcrowded cities. The study highlights the need for strategic interventions to address these challenges, such as fostering rural workforce development and implementing flexible workplace models. The findings provide valuable insights for policymakers and organizations aiming to create balanced workplace distribution and sustainable urban development. Future research should explore the long-term impact of urbanization on workplace dynamics in other developing countries.
