The study of three-dimensional rotating boundary layer flow approaching a stretching or shrinking surface under convective boundary conditions is presented in this paper. This study expands the scope of previous researchers' work to encompass broader scenarios, including situations involving mass transfer (suction) on the wall, the Biot number and cases featuring a shrinking surface. It is found that the increase of suction and rotating parameters leads to a noticeable rise in both the local skin friction coefficients and the local Nusselt number, and the solutions to the governing ordinary differential equations exhibit a dual-branch nature, comprising both upper and lower branch solutions, within a specific range of the governing parameters.

The study is focusing on the steady boundary layer flow, heat and mass transfer passing through stretching/shrinking sheet immersed in nanofluid in the presence of the second order slip velocity and thermal convective at the boundary. The governing partial differential equations are converted into ordinary differential equations by applying the similarity variables before being solved computationally using bvp4c function in Matlab software. The results of skin friction, heat transfer as well as mass transfer coefficient on the governing parameter such as the first order slip parameter, the second order slip parameter, Biot number, Brownian motion parameter and thermopherosis parameter are shown graphically in the discussion. The dual solutions exist in all range of stretching and shrinking parameter. Therefore the stability analysis is performed and concluded that the first solution is stable and physically relevant while the second solution acts in opposite way.

This study seeks to examine the fluid flow at the stagnation point over an exponentially shrinking and stretching sheet in a porous medium. This study also investigates the heat transfer rate in the presence of heat generation. By using the appropriate similarity transformation, we obtained ordinary differential equations (ODEs) that are reduced from the governing system of partial differential equations (PDEs). These resulting equations are subjected to new boundary conditions and solved numerically by using BVP4C in MATLAB software. The effects of the parameters involved in this study are summarized and thoroughly discussed: the skin friction coefficient, local Nusselt number, velocity profile, and temperature profile obtained. The analysis is done by using graphical and tabular data. The observed parameters are the permeability parameter K and the heat generation parameter Q towards shrinking/stretching parameter λ. It is found that a dual solution exists for λ<0 (shrinking case), whereas the solution is unique for λ>0 (stretching case). The analysis reveals that with heat generation being increased, the skin friction coefficient is constant. However, it increases when permeability increases. The local Nusselt number decreases with heat generation being increased. However, it increases when the permeability increases.

Fractional HCV infection model with adaptive immunity and treatment is suggested and studied in this paper. The adaptive immunity includes the CTL response and antibodies. This model contains five ordinary differential equations. We will start our study by proving the existence, uniqueness, and boundedness of the positive solutions. The model has free-equilibrium points and other endemic equilibria. By using Lyapunov functional and LaSalle's invariance principle, we have shown the global stability of these equilibrium points. Finally, some numerical simulations will be given to validate our theoretical results and show the effect of the fractional derivative order parameter and the other treatment parameters.
Longitudinal Changes in the Relationship between Money, Financial Responsibility and Mental Health in the UK: Are we Becoming Less Future Focused?
Authors: Smyth Chris , Azizi Sahar , Blount Joe , Waldeck Daniel
Published: December 2023

This paper investigated the changing relationship between socioeconomic factors and mental health over time. Data were analysed from the Understanding Society Database, a representative sample of the UK population consisting of a potential of 150,393 respondents. Multiple regression coefficients over 13 years were compared over time to analyse effects of various financial predictors on mental health. Data was then split according to who reported financial responsibility for the household to investigate the effect of financial responsibility. While analysis suggested a similar pattern of predictors for mental health from the range of socioeconomic variables selected relative to other studies, temporal analysis demonstrated that perception of one's future financial position diminished in influence on mental health over time, whereas financial variables which were grounded in one’s current situation increased in predictive power. The results suggest that individuals are more concerned with current financial pressures and are less affected by what may happen in the future. The results also suggested that financial responsibility was not a strong predictor of the influence of financial situation on mental health. This finding has potential implications for employers, policy makers and mental health practitioners.
A Passage to Philosophy: Derrida’s Plato’s Pharmakon and the Meshing of the Philosophical and the Mythological in Phaedrus
Authors: Aljayyousi Mohammad
Published: December 2023

This paper relates the implications of Derrida’s reading to the historical context of the passage into philosophy and metaphysics as explained in classical works like Havelock’s Preface to Plato (1952). The paper shows the specific ways Derrida used to deconstruct Palto’s text and how this connects with the historical context of the text itself, the inception of philosophy and metaphysics as we know it now. The first step Derrida takes is showing the importance of the myth element in the work’s structure. One is his etymological analysis of the word “pharmakon” and its double meaning. The second mechanism is the structural laws of oppositions, such as speech/writing, good/evil, life/death, first/second, and original/copy. The paper concludes that Derrida’s reading of Plato is different from Havelock’s in being a form of “textual contextualizing.” Derrida is putting Phaedrus in the wider project of the passage into philosophy and into the dawn of Western metaphysics, but unlike Havelock, he is concerned with textual mechanisms rather than historical turns. Derrida’s reading indicates that Plato introduced metaphysics and philosophy not merely by making up terms and expounding notions but, more importantly, by a set of textual mechanisms that will live on with Western philosophy and thought.

Published: December 2023

Muhammad Iqbal as a Muslim philosopher also a humanitarian activist who voices the rise of Muslim people to achieve equality and justice that always carries the theme of nature in his works. He had deep thoughts in many scientific fields,much research has been done on them, but it rarely mentions his development ideas. In fact, environmental damage and steep economic inequality that are inconsistant with the doctrine of human as universe caliph in Islam, are the impact of technology driven by a capitalistic paradigm that ignores the sustainability of all resources in the world. For that reason, this article is structured through library research as an effort to dissect Muhammad Iqbal's thoughts in the sustainable development.The results are; first, humans are free creatures who can only submit to God, not others. Second, the universe was created by God for the benefit of humans. Both have inseparable existential relationships to maintain sustainability. Be ing responsible humans to understand, manage and utilize it. The relationship between humans and nature is as close as the relationship between humans and God, growth in sustainable creativity.

The Economic Recession (economic slowdown, layoffs, undeveloped investment) has haunted the economy. Inflation is high, the rupiah exchange rate is weakening. The central bank is a strategic institution that regulates the country's economy through monetary instruments, one of which is Islamic monetary instruments. This paper aims to elaborate on Bank Indonesia's sharia monetary instruments in saving the economy as a result of the world economic recession. This paper is reviewed with a qualitative approach and a type of literature study. The results of this paper show that the Central Bank in an effort to deal with the world economic recession has issued Islamic and conventional monetary policies. Sharia monetary policy includes implementing open sharia monetary operations in the form of Bank Indonesia Sharia Certificates (SBIS), Bank Indonesia Sukuk, SBSN Repo, SBSN Reverse Repo, Standing Facility and Financing Facility. This policy has an impact on the economy growing by 5.03% in the third quarter of 2023.

Authors: Nia Zulinda  , Samsul Hidayat
Published: December 2023

Overcoming the problem of poverty and socio-economic inequality has always been a difficult challenge for all of us, including the government, since the early days of human civilization. Islam has presented philanthropy as an instrument to achieve social justice by interacting and incorporating religious aspects into solutions to overcome these problems. The biggest potency for Islamic philanthropy lies in Muslim countries, especially in Indonesia which has the largest Muslim population in the world. Human resources are very effective tools for optimizing true Islamic potency. In addition, an action that is able to strengthen the effect of Islamic philanthropy on socio-economic issues is to get involved in the economic sector to increase productivity and to reduce low income levels in society.

Media persistence: Theories, approaches, categorization
Authors: Balbi Gabriele , Hagedoorn Berber , Haydari Nazan , Schafer Valérie , Schwarzenegger Christian
Published: December 2023

Despite the fact that new media are continually seen as “natural born killers” of old media, old media rarely die and very often persist. In what is alternately called the “age of the Internet,” the “digital revolution,” the “metaverse,” the era of “artificial intelligence,” old media such as books, cinema, radio, television, analogue photography, and several others are still in use. Moreover, there is a kind of re-emergence of “the analogue” in various forms and for different incentives, including nostalgia. This Thematic Section is the outcome of an intellectual journey that the five editors undertook first separately and then combined. The occasion for bringing together prior interests and combining theoretical and empirical understandings of the reasons why and the different modes how media persist over time was facilitated by the European Communication Research and Education Association (ECREA) virtual post-conference (co-)organized jointly by three ECREA sections in September 2021: the Communication History section together with the sections of Radio and Sound, as well as Television Studies. It is no coincidence that these three sections are concerned with old media, which seem to decline but apparently also do persist, as those are the sections dealing with the mediated relationship of the old and the new, the past and the present such as the viewing and screening practices of television, transformation of sonic environment from radio toward podcast, and in general old media remediating into new ones.

Threats to Diversity of Opinion and Freedom of Expression via Social Media
Authors: Funta Rastislav , Ondria Peter
Published: December 2023

The article investigates whether there is a need for legislative action in social networks—which are similar to broadcasting—to ensure that diversity of opinion can be sufficiently expressed to protect freedom of opinion-forming. The investigation focuses on Facebook because it has the largest number of registered users worldwide and is thus the network with the greatest reach. First and foremost, it will be debated whether social networks have a power of opinion comparable to broadcasting. Based on this foundation, it is possible to assess the extent to which diversity of opinion is expressed in social networks and the extent to which freedom to form opinions is actually under threat.

Divorce at the Notary: Protection of Creditors’ Interests
Authors: Trinkūnienė Eva , Viškelienė Tatjana
Published: December 2023

In order to continue to grow and prosper, modern society is increasingly adopting the products of companies, institutions, and organizations providing credit services. However, as a result, dissolution of a marriage tends to pose problems and raises unavoidable questions concerning the determination of the nature of the obligations of the spouses and the division of these obligations, which is why it is quite common in divorce cases for a third party, a creditor whose interests also need to be protected, to be involved. In cases concerning family relations, protection of the public interest predominates because protection of the legal interests of the spouses as well as the creditors must be guaranteed, also the proportionality of the protection of the legal interests between the parties must be achieved, because everyone has the right to defend their violated rights, and the state must ensure the protection of those legal interests. However, this protection is often compromised due to the lack of information available to notaries, which could be alleviated by more extensive use of technology. The article’s aim is to analyze the amendments to the Civil Code of the Republic of Lithuania as of 1 January 2023 concerning extrajudicial divorce at a notary, its advantages and drawbacks, as well as to discuss the existing and the possibility of adaptation of new technological solutions with an aim of improving the protection of creditors in the divorce process.
How Could Semantic Processing and Other NLP Tools Improve Online Legal Databases?
Authors: Vági Renátó
Published: December 2023

The spread of online databases and the increasingly sophisticated search solutions in the past 10–15 years have opened up many new opportunities for lawyers to find relevant documents. However, it is still a common problem that the various legal databases and legal search engines face an information crisis. Legal database providers use various information extraction solutions, especially named entity recognition (NER), to mitigate this problem. These solutions can improve the relevance of the lists of results. Their limitation, however, is that they can only extract and create searchable metadata entities if the latter have a well-defined location or regularity in the text. Therefore, the next era of search support for legal databases is semantic processing. Semantic processing solutions are fundamentally different from information extraction and NER because they do not only extract and make visible and/or searchable the specific information element contained in the text but allow for the analytical analysis of the text as a whole. In addition, in many cases, legal database developments using machine learning can be a significant burden on a company, as it is not always known what kind of an AI solution is needed, and how the providers could compare the different solutions. Legal database providers need to customize processing their documents and texts in the most optimal way possible, considering all their legal, linguistic, statistical, or other characteristics. This is where text processing pipelines can help. So, the article reviews the two main natural language processing (NLP) solutions which can help legal database providers to increase the value of legal data within legal databases. The article then shows the importance of text-processing pipelines and frameworks in the era of digitized documents and presents the digital-twin-distiller.
Novak, the Commons and the spirit of scholastic reasoning
Authors: Patriarca Giovanni
Published: December 2023

This essay traces a thread between the Novak’s philosophical and theological contribution and the economic and ethical reflection on the commons. Although present embryonically, these interconnections have not been taken into consideration so far. This convergence will be presented through three interrelated stages: a sound theological background, Scholastic reasoning and the evolution of the idea of common goods. From these points some interesting insights will emerge.
Between Novak and Maritain: The discussion on the capitalist economy in Catholic thought
Authors: Hoevel Carlos
Published: December 2023

Although Novak recognizes himself as a disciple of Maritain, especially in his thesis on the Christian origins of democracy, the differences between the two in their views on the capitalist economy are evident. However, in his famous book, The Spirit of Democratic Capitalism, and in other previous works, Novak tries to show some possible bridges between Maritain’s thought and the virtues of American capitalism. This attempt is actually part of a larger project by Novak: that of showing the essential compatibility of Catholicism with capitalism. The purpose of this article is to show, based on Novak’s thought in relation to Maritain, the possibilities and difficulties of this attempt.
TVP-VAR Frequency Connectedness Between the Foreign Exchange Rates of Non-Euro Area Member Countries
Authors: Akbulut Nesrin , Ari Yakup
Published: December 2023

Research background

The main purpose of monetary integration between EU countries is to eliminate excessive fluctuations in exchange rates. High volatility in exchange rates can cause various negative economic and financial effects, especially during periods of economic shocks. In addition, estimating the volatility between currencies and their interactions is of great importance for effective portfolio management.

Purpose

The objective of this research is to scrutinize the transmission of volatility between the currencies of those European Union nations that do not participate in the EURO area, focusing on the exchange rate parity of the US Dollar with seven non-EURO zone currencies.

Research methodology

Daily volatility in exchange rates was calculated using the Garman-Klass-Yang-Zhang (GK-YZ) method. To investigate the connectedness between these volatilities, we used the Time-Varying Parameter Vector Autoregression (TVP-VAR) frequency connectedness approach.

Results

The Average Total Connectedness Index exhibits a significant degree of connectedness of approximately 71.84%. The Net Total Directional Connectedness Index indicates that the CZK, DKK and RON exchange rates are net beneficiaries in aggregate and in a longer term perspective, whereas the DKK, HUF and PLN exchange rates are net beneficiaries in a shorter term horizon. In the context of major global events such as the onset of the COVID-19 outbreak in March 2020 and the start of the Russia-Ukraine conflict in February 2022, it could be observed that the dynamic Total Connectedness Index exhibited a substantial increase, both overall and from a long-term perspective, corroborating theoretical expectations. According to the Net Pairwise Directional Connectedness index, the highest bilateral connectedness overall and in the short run was between DKK and RON, while in the long run between BGN and DKK.

Novelty

Examining the connectedness of currencies is of great importance for investors doing business with foreign currency, international cooperation and policies, risk management and portfolio management. Determining the connectedness in different frequency (short and long-term) ranges provides important information for hedging risk. In addition, the bilateral connectedness between currencies is a guide for effective portfolio diversification.
Associative Rules for Modeling International Security Decisions in the Context of the Ukrainian-Russian War. Preliminary Evaluations
Authors: Berezka Kateryna M. , Kovalchuk Olha Ya.
Published: December 2023

Research background

By launching a war against Ukraine, Russia changed the entire world system and demonstrated the ineffectiveness of the global security system. Today it is necessary to look for effective solutions to support the adoption of security decisions and develop effective strategies for the formation of a new architecture of the international security system.

Purpose

The paper aims to obtain preliminary approximate estimates of the state commitments of the countries of the world that support Ukraine in the war with Russia and to reveal non-obvious connections and regularities in the provision of various types of aid.

Research methodology

The data were collected on the rough refugee cost estimate, quantitative assessment of the government-to-government commitments, and preliminary data on non-bilateral aid transferred by governments to Ukraine of 40 countries. We used the FP-Growth algorithm to identify non-obvious connections and patterns between different types of support for Ukraine.

Results

We created an associative rules model to detect non-obvious patterns and relationships between the different types of bilateral commitments of the countries, that support Ukraine.

Novelty

Preliminary estimates were obtained between various types of international support for Ukraine in the war against Russia covering February 24 to November 20, 2022, the number of Ukrainian refugees accepted by the respective countries, and the sale of arms to Russia by some of them after the ban.
A Study on Loan Delinquency of the Self Help Group-Bank Linkage Programme in Rural Rajasthan
Authors: Bhatnagar Deepali , Yadav Kajal
Published: December 2023

Research background

Providing the microfinance to rural women is the prime concern of the government at central and state level in which the best microfinance programme is the Self Help Group Bank Linkage Programme. However, the Delinquency rate of the SHGBLP loan is on the higher side. As, borrowers do not make their loan repayments on time.

Purpose

The purpose of this research is to examine which types of self-help groups make timely repayments of an old loan. Also, to find out the different aspects of the loan delinquency rate which affect them and to find out the impact of self-help group maturity on loan repayment.

Research methodology

For this a total of 300 members were selected from the Udaipur and Banswara district of Rajasthan. Further, Tobit Regression has been applied to find out the factors which affect the loan delinquency percentages in the Self Help Group Bank Linkage Programme.

Results

The results highlighted that the maturity of the SHG group affects their repayment performance as old SHGs are functioning well in terms of repayment. The reason for the high delinquency rate is that the members had no surplus Income to repay back because of the failure of Business, natural calamities and medical issues. The members who are repaying the loan back on time are giving from their agriculture and enterprise profits.

Novelty

A lot of research has been carried out on the Impact of SHGBLP on many other factors but there is no research that has been done to find out why the programme has high loan delinquencies after being the best together with the impactful microfinance programme.
