The study also evaluates the performance, security effectiveness, and practical applications of these techniques, highlighting their strengths and limitations. By providing a comprehensive overview of current encryption-decryption strategies for image data in the cloud, this review aims to inform researchers and practitioners about the best practices and emerging trends in the field.
Chess is Still a Game
Authors: Ridge Michael
Published: November 2024

Michael Hickson as argued for the provocative thesis that chess is not a game – his “Illusory Checkmates: Why Chess is Not a Game.” More specifically, he (a) argues that chess is not a game in the sense provided by Bernard Suits’ highly influential work in the philosophy of games, and (b) responds to what he considers some of the most important objections to this thesis. In this paper I argue that Hickson is wrong, and that chess is, in fact, a game. The dialectic teaches us something important about the nuances of Suits’ rightly influential definition of ‘play a game’.

Authors: Ololo Thomas Odongo , Onditi Mary Anyango , Mwebi Benard
Published: November 2024

This study investigates the impact of principals' allocation of teaching and learning resources on academic performance in the Kenya Certificate of Secondary Education (K.C.S.E.) in public schools. Grounded in Von Bertalanffy's General Systems Theory, this study employed a mixed-method explanatory sequential design, prioritizing quantitative methods followed by qualitative methods. The target population comprised 4,691 participants: 340 principals, 1,360 heads of departments (H.O.Ds), and 2,991 teachers. A sample of 451 respondents was selected using proportionate stratified random sampling for 85 schools, 114 H.O.Ds and 252 teachers, with census sampling for national and special schools and purposive sampling for 85 principals. Data were collected through questionnaires and interview guides, ensuring content, criterion, construct, and face validity via expert evaluation and reliability through Cronbach's alpha (≥0.7). Quantitative data were analyzed using SPSS-29, while qualitative data were subjected to thematic analysis and integration with phase one findings. Descriptive statistics are presented in tables and graphs, as well as inferential statistics, including Pearson's correlation coefficients, ANOVA, and regression coefficients. The results reveal a moderately positive relationship (r=0.072, p≤0.05) between resource allocation and K.C.S.E. performance, thus supporting the hypothesis that resources are inadequate. The principal identified inadequate funding as a significant issue. The findings aim to inform corrective actions for poor academic performance, and further research on principals' leadership skills and their impact on K.C.S.E. performance is recommended.

Sustained economic growth is essential to sustainable development and overall societal prosperity. This phenomenon denotes the continuous enhancement of a nation's economic conditions over time, characterised by elevated levels of economic activity compared to preceding periods. Economic growth is typically correlated with improved societal welfare, which is a key indicator of successful economic development. However, it is imperative to consider additional factors such as income distribution to comprehensively assess the impact of growth on well-being. Establishing economic growth is fundamental to sustainable economic development and prosperity. The primary objective of this study is to investigate the short- and long-run effects of Property Investment and Inflation on economic growth in Indonesia and examine the equilibrium relationship between Property Investment and Inflation on economic growth from the short run to the long run. To achieve this objective, this study employs the autoregressive distributed lag (ARDL) Panel Model and a cointegration test to establish short- and long-run relationships. The results indicate a short-to long-run equilibrium among the variables. An additional finding is that property investment has a positive effect on economic growth in the long run but no effect in the short run. The inflation variable demonstrates a positive effect on economic growth in the long run but no effect in the short run.

Published: November 2024

Pasture in Brazil is of great importance for Brazilian cattle farming, due to its wide practice, but the current scenario of pastures is one of degradation. Due to the urgency of correcting it, fertility correction is extremely important. Chemical fertilization is commonly used for this purpose, however, due to the finite character of many of these sources, sustainable alternatives are sought. The use of agro-industrial waste, as long as it has a chemical composition of interesting agronomic interest and ease of transport, because, under these conditions, the use of these wastes becomes cheaper and allows environmentally correct disposal for these wastes that are often discarded in a harmful way. The meatpacking industry represents a major generator of organic waste, due to the high number of units in Brazilian territory. The blood generated from the red line is used to make blood meal, widely used in animal nutrition, and from this processing a waste is generated, which is treated and discarded under application in the soil.

Authors: Mudiyappan Christu Raja
Published: November 2024

Introduction: This study investigates how social exclusion influences consumer preferences for crowded shopping environments and examines the moderating role of time perspective. Specifically, it explores the mediating role of social connectedness and how present hedonism and fatalism impact these preferences.Methods: Three experimental studies tested the hypotheses. Participants were randomly assigned to social exclusion or inclusion conditions, and their preferences for crowded environments were measured. Time perspective (present hedonism and fatalism) and social connectedness were also assessed.Results: Results show that socially excluded consumers prefer crowded environments to fulfill their social connectedness needs. Present hedonism intensifies this preference, while present fatalism diminishes it. The findings demonstrate the significant role of social exclusion and time perspective in shaping consumer behavior.Practical Implications: These findings provide actionable strategies for retailers to design environments that address the psychological needs of socially excluded consumers. Retailers can use these insights to create targeted marketing strategies, especially in a post-pandemic context, where social interactions are evolving.Originality/Value: This study offers new insights into the psychological mechanisms behind consumer behavior in response to social exclusion. By integrating Belongingness Theory and Time Perspective Theory, it deepens the understanding of how social exclusion drives consumer preferences for crowded environments, highlighting the moderating effects of present hedonism and fatalism

Authors: Putri Elinda Rizky , Octarina Nynda Fatmawati
Published: November 2024

Intellectual property law, particularly copyright law, is a significant challenge for karaoke businesses. The necessity of obtaining proper music licenses is well-understood, but the complexities and costs involved often lead to gaps in compliance. Local regulations, including zoning laws, noise ordinances, and alcohol licensing, further complicate the legal landscape for karaoke operators. Non-compliance with these laws can result in severe penalties, including fines, legal disputes, and potential business closures. Social media has emerged as an essential tool for marketing and customer engagement in the karaoke industry. Platforms like Facebook, Instagram, and TikTok enable businesses to reach a broader audience and create interactive experiences that enhance customer loyalty. However, the use of copyrighted music in social media posts poses significant legal risks. While social media offers opportunities for growth, businesses must navigate these platforms carefully to avoid copyright infringement and other legal challenges. Managing online reputations is critical in the age of social media, where negative reviews or viral posts can significantly impact a business's image. Proactive strategies for handling customer feedback and maintaining a positive online presence are essential for mitigating reputational risks. The regulatory environment for karaoke businesses is evolving, with stricter enforcement of copyright laws and changing social media policies. Businesses must stay informed and adapt to these changes to ensure continued compliance and operational success. Karaoke businesses should prioritize legal education and seek expert guidance to navigate the complexities of copyright law and other regulatory requirements effectively. Clear social media policies that address the use of copyrighted material and customer interactions are vital for minimizing legal risks and maximizing the benefits of digital marketing. Implementing robust reputation management strategies, including prompt responses to online reviews and engagement with customers, can help maintain a positive public image and reduce the impact of negative feedback. Businesses should monitor changes in copyright enforcement and social media regulations, adapting their practices accordingly. Forming partnerships with music rights organizations or utilizing technology solutions can streamline compliance efforts.
THE IMPLEMENTATION OF THE MARRIAGE AGE LIMIT
Authors: Dita Nabila Jania Liswan  , Syamsul Bahri
Published: November 2024

Article 7, Paragraph (1) of Law Number 16 of 2019 concerning Amendments to Law Number 1 of 1974 on Marriage states that "Marriage is only permitted if the man and woman have reached the age of 19 (nineteen) years." However, in practice, there are several cases of underage marriage without marriage dispensation in Kutapanjang District. The purpose of this study is to explain the implementation of Article 7, Paragraph (1) of Law Number 16 of 2019 concerning the Marriage Age Limit in Kutapanjang District, Gayo Lues Regency, and to identify the causes of underage marriage without a marriage dispensation. This research is empirical juridical research. The data were obtained through field research, primarily using interviews. The findings indicate that the implementation of Article 7, Paragraph (1) of Law Number 16 of 2019 concerning the Marriage Age Limit in Kutapanjang District, Gayo Lues Regency has not been fully effective, as several couples still do not comply with the regulations. As a result, the implementation of Article 7, Paragraph (1) in Kutapanjang District, Gayo Lues Regency has not been maximized. The factors contributing to underage marriages without marriage dispensation can be categorized into three: First, coercive circumstances where the female party is already pregnant, leading to an immediate marriage to avoid social disgrace for the family and community. Second, economic pressure, where families believe marrying off their children reduces the financial burden of supporting them. Third, rejection of a marriage dispensation request by the Sharia Court, leading to unofficial or unregistered marriages. It is recommended that the government, especially the Office of Religious Affairs (KUA), be more proactive in raising awareness about Law Number 16 of 2019, which amends Law Number 1 of 1974 regarding the Marriage Age Limit, to all levels of society.
THE ANALYSIS OF THE AUTHORITY OF THE CORRUPTION ERADICATION COMMISSION IN CONDUCTING STING OPERATIONS
Authors: Ahmad Faiz Alamsyah  , Ayu Widia Pertiwi
Published: November 2024

The state suffers losses as a result of corrupt practices. The general populace shares the state's concern over this crime. The state and public are experiencing instability, and the Corruption Eradication Commission's position and power are crucial in overcoming and minimizing this. So, a sting operation is one of the things the Corruption Eradication Commission does. In this instance, it's important to consider not just the procedures followed by the Corruption Eradication Commission during sting operations, but also the operation's legal foundation and any elements that may have impeded its success. Opponents of the OTT point out that the Criminal Procedure Code only uses the phrase "caught red-handed," which they believe to be inadequate. The distinction thus leads one to the conclusion that being caught red-handed is indeed unlawful. I perceive a logical error in reasoning with respect to this issue. Although this phrase is not used in any Indonesian statute, it is true that the Criminal Procedure Code does not recognize it either. But that doesn't imply the operation is inherently unlawful.
LEGAL CERTAINTY ON THE MISUSE OF COVID-19 SOCIAL FUNDS AS A BASIS FOR CRIMINAL AGGRAVATION
Authors: I Kadek Rinja Dwi Putra  , Berliana Ayu Kusumawardani  , Roynaldi Scehan
Published: November 2024

The existence of the Covid 19 Pandemic in Indonesia some time ago can be categorized as a non-natural disaster that has been determined nationally. To anticipate and help the community, the government has disbursed social funds for the poor and affected by the policy of Enforcing Community Activity Restrictions (PPKM). There are four potential corruptions in social assistance funds in the midst of a pandemic, including: First, corruption related to the procurement of goods/services. Second, the vulnerability to recording receipts, distribution of aid and misappropriation of aid or grants from the public or private sector given to the Task Force and all ministries/institutions/local governments. Third, on the allocation of sources of funds and spending as well as the utilization of the budget in the process of refocusing and reallocating the Covid-19 budget in the APBN and APBD. Fourth, on the implementation of social assistance (social safety net) by the central and regional governments. The various cases above validate the existence of an “epidemic of corruption” amid the COVID-19 outbreak. Corruption is like a virus that spreads to fellow human beings and is dangerous. The fertility of rasuah has damaged government institutions, faded integrity, and brought about the destruction of the nation. The imperfection of the country's system, which is currently in flux after the pandemic, is the biggest weakness that opens up wider opportunities for corruption. Furthermore, people often have a logical fallacy, where they think that the more corruption cases, the better. In fact, the rampant cases of corruption being handled indicate that the function of preventing corruption has not been implemented. Therefore, the massive expansion of corruption during the pandemic is a sad portrait of the nation that should be addressed immediately. Misuse of COVID 19 funds during the pandemic through corruption by the authorities deserves to be categorized as a criminal offense, one of which is the corruption case committed by the Minister of Social Affairs as decided in Decision Number 29/PID.SUS-TPK/2021PN JKT.PST.
GOVERNMENT REGULATION NUMBER 24 OF 1997 CONCERNING LAND REGISTRATION IN IMPLEMENTATION AND PROBLEMS AT REGENCY/CITY NATIONAL LAND AGENCY OFFICES
Authors: Richard  , Sudradjat Agus
Published: November 2024

Problems are complex and multi-functional and involve cross-sectoral aspects of life in society. Therefore, handling land problems cannot be seen from just one side, it must be comprehensive and integrated so that solutions can be resolved. In terms of community land registration, especially in Subang Regency, each agency related to land. This program is primarily concerned with issuing land certificates so that they can be fully functional and mobilized to take part in handling land issues in accordance with the scope of individual work. Coordination is carried out by the National Land Agency. This agency must have cooperation and a collaborative network with all related agencies and the need to handle strategic land issues, including land registration. This research uses normative juridical methods, with secondary data methods which are then analyzed using qualitative analysis techniques. The results show that the determination of land registration, especially in Subang Regency, if seen from Law Number 5 of 1960, is basically as intended in Article 46 to Article 72 of the Regulation of the Minister of Agrarian Affairs/Head of the National Land Agency Number 3 of 1997 concerning Implementing Regulations of Government Regulation Number 24 of 1997 concerning Land Registration. The sanctions given to land officials deviate from the legal provisions in registering land being handed over to the public. Even if there is evidence of a violation of fund allocation, it may be criminalized as an act of corruption.

Authors: Md Al-Mamun  , M. G. Mostofa  , I. J. Nur
Published: November 2024

Vegetable mesta, also known as roselle, is a common species in many countries for confectioneries and a good source of nutrients and antioxidants. BJRI Mesta 4 is a nutrient-rich, climate-smart and widely adaptable vegetable Mesta cultivar that was developed by the Bangladesh Jute Research Institute (BJRI) and released by the National Seed Board (NSB) in 2022. To explore the superiority of the new variety, a study was conducted on yield and yield components using multivariate analysis over two planting seasons compared with the well-known variety BJRI Mesta 2. Significant differences (p ≤ 0.01 or 0.05) were recorded among the qualitative and quantitative traits. It also possesses in Multi-location Trials during 2018 and 2019, the average yield of leaf, fruit and calyx of BJRI Mesta 4 was found 7.25%, 11.51% and 10.49% higher in BJRI regional stations respectively compared to the check variety. Plant height, branches per plant, fruit yield and leaf yield were taken into consideration during selection to create vegetable mesta types with appropriate yield. However, based on yield capacity, adaptability and nutraceutical properties, the newly released cultivar BJRI Mesta 4 can be recommended and promoted to the herbal food product industry in addition to being a substitute for leafy vegetables. With these views kept in mind, the study that has been conducted now may help in creating trustworthy selection criteria for programs to improve vegetable mesta breeding in the future.
The Improved tan (\(\frac{\Phi(\xi)}{2}\)) -Expansion Method for The Non-dissipative Double Dispersive Equation in Microstructured Solids
Authors: Yu Lan , Liu Shaowei
Published: November 2024

In microstructured solids, the non-dissipative double dispersive equation is a fourth-order non-linear partial differential equation that arises in the study of non-dissipative strain wave propagation. Seeking the exact solution of a nonlinear partial differential equations with a physical background is helpful to understand the motion law of matter and to explain the corresponding physical phenomena scientifically. This equation has been studied widely, and there have been a lot of research methods to find exact solutions to this equation. In this manuscript, we try to study the non-dissipative double dispersive equation by the improved tan (\(\frac{\Phi(\xi)}{2}\)) -expansion method. As far as our known, no one has used this method to study the non-dissipative double dispersive equation, partly because of the complicated calculation. We obtain a lot of exact traveling wave solutions, including hyperbolic function solutions, trigonometric function solutions, exponential function solutions, and rational function solutions. Compared with the other methods, some solutions obtained in this manuscript are consistent with existing solutions, which shows the effectiveness of the improved tan (\(\frac{\Phi(\xi)}{2}\)) -expansion method. Through this method, Our manuscript obtains more general and new exact solutions. These solutions may play an important role in engineering and physics. What's more, we plot the 3D graphs of some of the solutions obtained in this manuscript, which helps us understand the physical phenomenon of the non-dissipative double dispersive equation. In the future, we will continue to explore its physical significance from the new analytical solution we have obtained.

Enhancing Political Participation Abroad:The Media’s Impact on Parliamentary Elections for Egyptian Expatriates
Authors: Ahmed Abdel-Aal Reman
Published: November 2024

The impact can vary significantly for audiences outside the direct reach of domestic media—those who may not receive the same content as citizens residing within the country. This discrepancy becomes particularly evident during times of crisis and political turmoil when media strategies must be tailored to reach external audiences and achieve specific goals effectively. Therefore, the core issue addressed in this study revolves around a fundamental question: How can media effectively support and enhance political participation among expatriates during parliamentary elections? Grounded in Democratic Participatory Theory, which advocates for media prioritizing public interests and democratic engagement through pluralism, local interaction, and equitable access to information, the study aims to explore this question. The research employs a questionnaire to investigate the effectiveness of media campaigns in encouraging Egyptian expatriates to participate in parliamentary elections. The findings suggest that these campaigns have a limited impact on motivating expatriates to engage politically. Keywords: Parliamentary Elections, Egyptian Expatriates, Electoral Campaigns, Media.

Das Konzentrationslager Sachsenhausen 1936–1945
Authors: Kaienburg Hermann
Published: November 2024

Das KZ Sachsenhausen war nicht nur das „Konzentrationslager bei der Reichshauptstadt“, sondern ein zentrales Muster- und Ausbildungslager. Von Sachsenhausen aus wurden viele neue Konzentrationslager gegründet und aufgebaut. Immer wieder diente es als Zentrum zur Verteilung der Gefangenen von Massentransporten aus dem Osten auf andere Lager. In Sachsenhausen wurden Mordtechniken entwickelt und erprobt. Beim Umfang der Menschenversuche für medizinische und andere Zwecke erreichte das KZ einen traurigen Rekord. Anhand alter und neuer Quellen informiert die Forschungsarbeit über die Vorgeschichte, die bauliche und wirtschaftliche Entwicklung, die verschiedenen Gruppen der Inhaftierten, den Wandel der Existenzbedingungen in den verschiedenen Perioden, die Todesmärsche am Kriegsende, die Menschenversuche, Exekutionen, Solidarität und Widerstand sowie über die Nachgeschichte. Die Außenlager werden zusammenfassend betrachtet. Damit liegt erstmals auf dem neusten Stand der Forschung die Gesamtgeschichte eines der wichtigsten Lager des nationalsozialistischen KZ-Systems vor.
Multidirektionale Erinnerung
Authors: Rothberg Michael
Published: November 2024

Michael Rothberg zeichnet eine erinnerungskulturelle Tradition von der Nachkriegszeit bis ins 21. Jahrhundert nach, die von wechselseitigen Bezugnahmen zwischen Kolonialismus, Sklaverei, Rassismus und Nationalsozialismus, Holocaust, Antisemitismus gekennzeichnet ist. Dieses Archiv der multidirektionalen Erinnerung, das Denker*innen und Kulturproduzent*innen wie Hannah Arendt, Aimé Césaire, W.E.B. Du Bois, Marguerite Duras Michael Haneke und andere versammelt, deutet darauf hin, dass sich Opferkonkurrenz und Aufmerksamkeitskonflikte auf dem Feld der Erinnerung vermeiden lassen. Vielmehr rücken Analogiebildungen, Querverweise und Vergleiche in den Fokus der Aufmerksamkeit, durch die die Erinnerung an spezifische historische Ereignisse verstärkt und die Spezifik der jeweiligen Gewaltgeschichten und Herrschaftsverhältnisse nicht infrage gestellt wird.
Borussia Dortmund in der Zeit des Nationalsozialismus 1933–1945
Authors: Fischer Rolf , Wojatzek Katharina
Published: November 2024

Seit den 1920er-Jahren war der Fußballsport ein Zuschauermagnet und vielerorts, besonders im Industriegebiet an der Ruhr, Teil der Alltagskultur. Gleich nach ihrem Machtantritt im Januar 1933 machten sich die Nationalsozialisten daher daran, auch die Fußballvereine politisch-ideologisch auf Linie zu bringen: „Vereinsführer“ wurden installiert, „Nicht-Arier“ ausgeschlossen. Wie sich die Funktionäre und Spieler von Borussia Dortmund in der Zeit der Diktatur verhielten, wie sie sich anpassten oder der Vereinnahmung entgegentraten, untersuchen Rolf Fischer und Katharina Wojatzek auf der Grundlage zahlreicher Dokumente und Fotografien.
Herbert Reinecker: NS-Propagandist und bundesdeutscher Erfolgsautor
Authors: Haass Haydée Mareike
Published: November 2024

Die erste deutsche Krimiserie „Der Kommissar“ (1969–1976), der später „Derrick“ (1974–1998) folgte, war ein Publikumsmagnet. Geschrieben wurde sie von Herbert Reinecker (1914–2007). Mit Blick auf die Lebensgeschichte des Autors zwischen Nationalsozialismus und Bundesrepublik füllt die Studie ein Forschungsdesiderat zur Wandlung ehemaliger NS-Kulturschaff ender im Kontext der Entstehung des Massenmediums Fernsehen. Reineckers Serien waren erfolgreich, weil er Fragen von Schuld und Verantwortung nicht nur mit einer Kritik an der zeitgenössischen Liberalisierung und dem Verständnis von Staatsgewalt, sondern auch mit Fragen nach individueller und generationeller Schuld verband.
