A critical analysis of horn of Africa’s drought-related metaphors: A socio-cognitive approach
Authors: El-Masry Menna Mohamed Salama
Published: January 2024

The paper regulates a corpus-based analysis of Horn of Africa’s drought-related metaphorical schemas presented in 17 selected reports and appeals published in the official homepages of UNICEF and OCHA in the time span (2021-2023). The study follows Hart’s (2008 & 2010) theoretical framework of socio-cognitive critical metaphor analysis (SCCMT) which connects blending integration theory (BT) and the critical, social and ideological tenets of critical discourse analysis (CDA). The findings of the study show three recurrent metaphorical integration networks in the selected corpus and they are: DROUGHT is A KILLING MONESTER, DROUGHT is WAR/STRUGGLE and UNICEF/OCHA are BUILDERS/ANIMATE AGENTS. Consequently, some emergent scenarios are activated such as: fear, instability, blame, hope and ideological distinction of US and THEM, THE POOR and THE RICH, AFRICA and AMERICA & EUROPE. Moreover, four topoi are motivated: “topos of danger”, “topos of displacement”, “topos of number” and” topos of hope”. These topoi are entrenched in the selected corpus, thus explicating the conventionality of metaphor.

The legal frameworks for protecting the rights to image publication in Saudi and Sudanese journalism: Expounding the views of stakeholders
Authors: Elamin Aisha Mohamed Ismail
Published: January 2024

The protection of people' rights in the use of their photos in journalism publishing has been thoroughly examined in this research, with press freedom to access public data repository resources taken into account. Participants in the research were chosen from a cross-section of sectors in Sudan and Saudi Arabia. A total of 832 participants from a seven stakeholder groups in the two nations made up the sample. In Saudi Arabia, 56.85% (473) of the sample came from the six designated stakeholder groups (photojournalists, media editors, staff of governmental agencies, legal experts), whereas in Sudan, 43.15% (359) participated. Using relevant statistical tools, the study made key findings. According to the findings, approximately 50% of Saudi stakeholders and 86% Sudanese participants don't think that consent is required from people before their pictures are utilised in journalistic works. Over 81% of respondents from both Sudan and Saudi Arabia agree that protecting citizens' rights should be done in accordance with the legal framework of the country, but that journalists should be free to use digital resources in their publications. More than 80% of respondents agreed that photojournalists should put the public interest first while taking and publishing photos. It is thus concluded that state authorities must establish legal and ethical norms outlining the duties and obligations of photojournalists. Important considerations like privacy invasion, user permission, and public safety should all be baked into these rules.

Authors: Kadhim Rawaa Jawad
Published: January 2024

The following study investigates the impact of powerful women in the two American plays Awake and Sing! by Clifford Odets and The American Dream by Edward Albee .The study directs our attention towards the significant role of powerful female characters in the deterioration of familial structures and the dissolution of interpersonal connections during the 20th Century. They were  portrayed as authoritative and commanding individuals. They asserted their entitlement to express anger, wit, and ruthlessness. Their dominion was evident in their capacity to dictate the lives of others, regardless of the ramifications it had on those directly entangled with them. The study posits that Foucault's analysis of power presents a unique interpretation that has the capacity to provide valuable insights into the essence of power in the two plays. It commences by offering an explication of the American family, and subsequently concludes by delineating certain resemblances between the chosen plays, drawing upon Foucault's conceptualization of power.

Published: January 2024

Cancer, a complex and devastating disease, poses a major global health challenge, affecting millions of lives each year. Sri Lanka, a vibrant island nation in South Asia, is no exception to this widespread cancer rate. Cancer management in Sri Lanka requires a comprehensive understanding of the burden, prevalence, and efforts to combat the disease. This article delves into the current state of cancer in Sri Lanka, looking at prevalence and incidence, availability of screening and early detection programs, different treatment modalities, challenges knowledge faced in cancer management, government initiatives, and policies, the importance of supportive care and rehabilitation, as well as future directions and advances in cancer management. By exploring these aspects, we can better understand the efforts and strategies used to manage cancer in Sri Lanka and lay the foundation for improved cancer care and control in this country. Here, research will be carried out primarily in collaboration with the Sri Lankan Ministry of Health, the Sri Lankan oncological Department, the Sri Lankan National Hospital for Cancers, and the Office of the Ministry of Health. As Sri Lanka is a third-world developing country, treatment options for cancer patients are very limited. I intend to expand medical services in Sri Lanka's cancer hospitals. Therefore, we can educate society about preventive medicine as a preventive measure. Frequent screening tests should be performed, especially for people in risk categories. This research work focused on preventive health measures and improvements in breast cancer medical unit facilities and treatment units.

Il s’est dégagé de cette étude consacré à la problématique de l’exercice du petit commerce en République Démocratique du Congo, dont les petits commerçants congolais ont toujours rencontré des difficultés par rapport à l’application des textes qui interdissent aux expatriés d’exercer les petits commerces ainsi le commerce en détail. En effet, l’ordonnance-loi n°90-046 du 08 août 1990 sur le petit commerce s’est révélée inapplicable du fait d’abord de ces conditions d’exercice qui sont peu réalistes et ne tiennent pas compte des réalités socio-économique qui définissent la conjoncture actuelle de notre pays, du phénomène de manque d’instruction remarqué chez la plupart des petits commerçants, d’où la présence du décret n°011/37 du 11 octobre 2011 portant mesures conservatoire en matière d’exercice du petit commerce et du commerce en détail, de l’ordonnance-loi n°13/009 du 23 février 2013 modifiée et complétée certaines dispositions lacunaires en en matières du petit commerce. En fin, il s’est montré que les raisons d’une applicabilité de la loi tenaient au manque de la vulgarisation de ces lois qui déjouait ainsi aux exigences d’une sécurisation des activités du petit commerce ainsi que les contrôles efficaces. Car ce secteur du petit commerce joue un rôle important dans l’économie tant par sa contribution à l’emploi que par son poids dans la valeur ajoutée.

Modélisation géologique et estimation d’un gisement de Fer de Bekisopa, Madagascar
Authors:   Université de Fianarantsoa, Institut Supérieur des Sciences et Technologies, Fianarantsoa, Madagascar, Rakotonirina M. D. L. , Ngbolua Jean-Paul
Published: January 2024

Cette étude a pour objectif de réaliser une analyse approfondie de la géologie du gisement de fer en question et d'explorer son potentiel d'exploitation. En combinant des observations sur le terrain, des opérations de forage, des analyses géologiques et l'utilisation d'outils de modélisation, notre intention est de parvenir à une compréhension approfondie de la composition, de la distribution et des caractéristiques géologiques du gisement de fer de Bekisopa découvert par H. Besairie en 1933. L'évaluation des réserves de fer a été menée en appliquant des méthodes géostatistiques, notamment le krigeage. Les données issues des forages, conjointement avec les informations géologiques provenant des modèles tridimensionnels, ont servi à établir des variogrammes et des modèles de continuité spatiale. Cette démarche a permis d'aboutir à une estimation quantitative des réserves de fer présentes dans le gisement. Un total de trente forages a été réalisé sur une superficie d'un kilomètre carré. Ces données de forages ont été cruciales pour calculer un volume du gisement de l'ordre de 25 000 000 de mètres cubes, compte tenu d'une densité moyenne du gisement de 4 500 kg/m3 et d'une teneur moyenne de 40%. Cette estimation a conduit à une valeur de ressources ferreuses avoisinant les quarante millions (40 000 000) de tonnes. Étant donné que le minerai se trouve à une profondeur relativement accessible en surface, l'option d'une exploitation à ciel ouvert se présente comme une alternative envisageable et attrayante. Ce type d'exploitation implique l'extraction du minerai à partir de vastes fosses découvertes, une approche économiquement viable lorsque les ressources minérales sont situées près de la surface. Mots clés : Modélisation, caractéristiques géologiques, Bekisopa, krigeage, variogramme.

Published: January 2024

Dans la ville d’Inongo, Province du Maï-Ndombe en République Démocratique du Congo, le phénomène socioculturel « ambo-ambo » est en vogue. A voir son déploiement actuel dans l’environnement socio-culturel, il risque de porter préjudice à la vision, à la culture et à la pratique du développement durable de ce milieu. D’où, une enquête socio-environnementale de terrain constituée d’un échantillonnage représentatif de 1558 sujets a été organisée dans la Commune de Pongonzoli afin de comprendre et d’expliquer l’essence, les causes et conséquences du phénomène. Appuyée par l’observation directe et qualitative, la revue documentaire, les interviews et entretiens et l’approche systémique pour la collecte, le traitement et l’analyse des données, l’étude a pu obtenir les grands résultats suivants: 87,5 % des sujets reconnaissent l’existence du phénomène « ambo-ambo » compris comme « une diplomatie de mensonges » (44 % des sujets enquêtés) subtilisée par les usagers pour « la courtisanerie » (55 % des sujets enquêtés). Les groupes ethniques géniteurs du phénomène sont essentiellement les Bolia (53,6 % des sujets enquêtés) et les Ntomba (44,4 % des sujets enquêtés). Sa diffusion se fait par « emprunts » (52,2 % des sujets enquêtés) des noyaux culturels originaires. Sa pratique répond aux « impératifs de survie » (40 % des sujets enquêtés) pour résilier à la pauvreté. Ses conséquences sur le plan social, psychologique, culturel et éthique sont entre autres: conflits (43 % des sujets enquêtés) ; crise de personnalité (53 % des sujets enquêtés) ; hypocrisie intellectuelle (46 % des sujets enquêtés), irresponsabilité et culte de médiocrité (47 % des sujets enquêté). Pour pallier au phénomène et afin de construire ensemble une culture du développement durable, l’étude propose ceci : la réduction de l’extrême pauvreté, l’amélioration de la gouvernance socio-environnementale, la bonne gestion de la liberté publique pour tous, lutte contre l’irresponsabilité par des sanctions légales et des antivaleurs. Mots clés: Environnement, phénomène « ambo-ambo », crise, culture, développement durable.

Factores de influencia en la intención de abandono escolar temprano: perspectiva del estudiantado
Authors: Suberviola Iratxe , Navaridas Nalda Fermín , González Marcos Ana
Published: January 2024

En la actualidad, reducir la tasa de abandono escolar temprano continúa siendo una línea de acción prioritaria para los sistemas educativos de todo el mundo. En este sentido, parece conveniente avanzar en la comprensión de los motivos que predisponen al estudiantado a tomar esta decisión con efectos perturbadores tanto a nivel personal como social. Sensibles con su importancia, este trabajo tiene como objetivo identificar factores de influencia en la intención de abandono escolar temprano. Para ello, adoptamos un enfoque metodológico de carácter cuantitativo a través del procedimiento de encuesta. Su aplicación tuvo lugar en la Comunidad Autónoma de La Rioja (España), donde el problema del abandono escolar temprano constituye un área clave de trabajo en su agenda política. La encuesta se realizó mediante la administración de un cuestionario ad hoc a la población de estudiantes escolarizados en los últimos cursos de la etapa obligatoria y primer curso de la etapa no obligatoria. La muestra participante estuvo constituida por 1157 estudiantes. Los resultados indican que la utilidad atribuida a la actividad de estudio y la facilidad relativa percibida para conseguir el título académico son dos factores de influencia significativa en la intención de abandono escolar temprano. En otro orden, el contexto sociofamiliar del estudiantado y los recursos humanos del centro también son predictores significativos de esta misma intención. Concluimos subrayando la necesidad de abordar el problema del abandono escolar temprano desde un enfoque multidimensional que ayude al estudiantado a tomar conciencia de la utilidad y significado profundo de la tarea educativa, promoviendo al mismo tiempo y de forma relacionada creencias motivacionales positivas sobre el valor del esfuerzo para afrontar con éxito metas educativas valiosas y desafiantes.
El interrogante del erudito. La primera campaña de Gabriel Llabrés Quintana en Pollentia (1923) cien años después
Authors: Vallori Márquez Bartomeu
Published: January 2024

A principios de los años 20 del siglo XX las ruinas de la ciudad romana de Pollentia habían llamado la atención de uno de los eruditos con mayor reconocimiento del país, Gabriel Llabrés Quintana. Sus conexiones personales y el conocimiento que tenía sobre la ciudad fueron fundamentales para conseguir financiación estatal para emprender la primer intervención arqueológica oficial en 1923. Ello permitió excavar en cuatro zonas diferentes, descubriendo los restos de varios edificios y piezas todavía hoy emblemáticas. Sin embargo, nunca se emitieron memorias oficiales ni se publicaron los resultados.En el centenario de esta primera intervención, el presente artículo ofrece un análisis detallado del desarrollo de los trabajos gracias al escrutinio, principalmente, de la documentación original de Llabrés. A la vez, se estudian las circunstancias de la campaña en su contexto histórico y social, para, finalmente, proponer una revisión actual de varios de los hallazgos, en especial los de tipo edilicio.

THE DYNAMICS OF PUNISHMENT IN THE CONTEXT OF ISLAMIC HIGHER EDUCATION
Authors: Asep Rahmatullah
Published: January 2024

This research is a literature review or library research that focuses on relevant works, such as books and previous research. This approach involves the process of reading, reviewing, and critically analyzing various relevant writings. The data used is divided into two categories, namely primary data derived from original sources such as books, and secondary data obtained from literature and previous research. The data collection process involved searching the literature and references relevant to the research objectives. Data validity was measured by four evaluation criteria, including trustworthiness, transferability, reliability and certainty, to ensure the integrity and validity of the findings. The results reflect that punishment is not only considered as a tool to enforce compliance with regulations, but also as a means of achieving educational goals and personality formation in accordance with Islamic teachings. The concept of educative punishment highlights that punishment can be considered as an educational instrument that provides opportunities for students to reflect and understand the impact of their actions. The sustainability of a transparent punishment management system is considered the main key to maintaining integrity and trust within the Islamic higher education environment, creating a fair and accountable atmosphere. The deliberative approach in decision-making related to sanctions reflects participatory values and the spirit of accountability.

Authors: Muhammad Munif
Published: January 2024

Families play a very important role in shaping children's spiritual awareness by having a great responsibility in guiding children to understand the teachings of Islam. Children's spiritual awareness is strengthened through a family environment that supports spiritual growth and strengthens the bond between children and God. By integrating religious routines into daily life, families shape spiritual awareness that is integrated into children's daily activities. The role of the family includes not only conveying information about religious teachings, but also involves implementing moral values in every daily behavior, creating an environment that supports the moral and spiritual growth of the child. Although faced with challenges such as cultural changes, lack of parental understanding, technological influences and time pressures, this article encourages the development of learning strategies that are creative, integrated and appropriate to the dynamics of modern family life.
HABITUATION AND LEARNING STRATEGIES TO INCREASE MOTIVATION IN READING THE QUR'AN IN A BOARDING SCHOOL HIGH SCHOOL ENVIRONMENT
Authors: Rachmad Fauzi
Published: January 2024

This study aims to determine the application of habituation and learning methods of reading the Qur'an to promote intrinsic and extrinsic motivation of class X students at Taruna Muhammadiyah Gunungpring Boarding School. The goal is to understand how this habituation and learning can trigger student motivation in deepening understanding of the Qur'an. The benefits of this research theoretically can contribute to the development of science by enriching existing concepts and theories, and practically can provide insight into experience for researchers and future researchers, as well as being a guide for the implementation of habituation policies for students in the spirit of learning to read and write the Qur'an. The method applied is descriptive qualitative analysis, in which students are accustomed to learning to read and understand the Qur'an through muroja'ah activities and deepening material at night. To support the implementation of the habituation policy, the method involves student involvement in routine activities, such as muroja'ah after Asr, Maghrib, and Fajr prayers, as well as the provision of material and practice of reciting the Qur'an by the dormitory staff at night. In addition, the memorization of the Qur'an is also made an integral part of the learning process to familiarize students with reading, and increase their intrinsic and extrinsic motivation.

With the increase in the number and severity of California wildfires, firefighters need more efficient tools to predict potential wildfires so that they can efficiently cease these devastating events, preserve the safety of the human population, and the environment. With nearly eight million acres burned between 2010 and 2019, there is a clear and immediate issue. We hypothesized that a machine learning model could be developed to accurately predict the severity of California wildfires and determine the most influential meteorological factors. In this study, we used machine learning to analyze historical fire behaviors and then accurately predict the severity (defined by acres burned) of California wildfires. We created a custom dataset by using a combination of information from the World Weather Online API and a Kaggle dataset of wildfires in California from 20132020. The resulting dataset consisted of information (including temperature, humidity, dew point, and wind speeds) on 1,462 wildfires. We used three classification algorithms—logistic regression, support vector machine, and random forest regression—to classify these fires. Devising a system categorizing fires based on acres burned, our algorithms were able to classify fires into seven categories with promising accuracy (around 55 percent). We generated a correlation matrix, providing insight into the most concerning factors and allowing firefighters to choose the best course of action. We found that higher temperatures, lower humidity, lower dew point, higher wind gusts, and higher wind speeds are the most significant contributors to the spread of a wildfire. This machine learning tool could vastly improve the efficiency and preparedness of firefighters as they deal with these crises.

Objetivo: Realizou-se abordagem epidemiológica tripla da reprodução da sífilis em gestantes no Estado de Pernambuco. Método: Estudo transversal descritivo, conduzido nos 184 municípios de Pernambuco mais Fernando de Noronha, a partir dos casos de sífilis em gestantes notificados entre 2011 a 2020 por município de residência coletados do Departamento de Informática do Sistema Único de Saúde do Brasil e Sistema de Informação de Agravos de Notificação. Analisaram-se as características clínicas e sociodemográficas das gestantes, assim como a distribuição espacial da taxa de incidência. Resultados: Verificou-se elevada incidência de ocorrência de sífilis em gestantes em Pernambuco. A taxa aumentou no período, movimentando-se para o interior do estado. A maioria das mulheres eram jovens ou adolescentes, pardas, e foram diagnosticadas tardiamente, sugerindo ineficiência dos serviços de saúde. Conclusão: A sífilis em gestantes em Pernambuco é um grave problema de saúde pública, clarificado pelo acentuado aumento no período, penalizando mulheres jovens e pardas. A oferta ineficiente de serviços piora o quadro. Seu controle exige urgente confluência de ações dentro e fora do setor saúde, visando redução de iniquidades com a combinação certa de políticas governamentais. Sugere-se, principalmente, melhoria na assistência ao pré-natal, diagnóstico, tratamento adequado, ações de saúde e notificação.
