Impact of Digital Marketing Content on Brand Awareness among Jordanian Consumers
Authors: Al-Assaf Khaled Tawfiq
Published: November 2024

The study aimed to identify the impact of digital marketing content on consumer awareness of the brand. To achieve its objectives, the researcher adopted a descriptive-analytical approach. A data collection tool was developed in the form of a questionnaire consisting of 27 items, which was distributed electronically to a simple random sample of 650 consumers from the study population. A total of 365 valid questionnaires were collected and approved for analysis. Statistical methods appropriate to the study were applied using SPSS 22 for data analysis.The study yielded several key findings, most notably that digital marketing content—specifically information recombination, accessibility, and speed—has a statistically significant effect on Jordanian consumers' brand awareness at a significance level of (α < 0.05). Notably, accessibility accounted for 35.6% of the variance in consumer brand awareness.Based on these findings, the study recommends that businesses focus on ensuring the accessibility of their digital marketing content to enhance brand awareness among customers. Since the results suggest a deficiency in this dimension, the study also advises companies that provide digital marketing content with information recombination to focus on delivering valuable information to boost positive brand perception among consumers. Additionally, it is essential for businesses to explore effective methods for managing the speed aspect of digital marketing content to positively impact brand recognition, particularly in terms of how relevant advertising content is presented.

Establishing Usufruct Rights under Statutory Basis in Vietnamese Law
Authors: Hung Le Minh
Published: November 2024

The usufruct rights is a legal right that was imposed on the property of another person, and can only arise based on legal events prescribed by law, called the basis for establishing usufruct rights. The basis for establishing usufruct rights according to the laws of different countries is not entirely the same. In Vietnam, usufruct rights are established based on three legal bases: the basis prescribed by law, the basis of the agreement of the parties, or the basis of a will. This article studies the basis for establishing the right of usufruct according to the statutory basis, in current Vietnamese law (specifically the 2015 Civil Code). By using the methods of written law analysis, historical method, comparative legal method, and survey of the practical application of Vietnamese law, the article provides the content of positive law in Vietnam on the basis for establishing usufruct rights according to the law, aiming to introduce readers to the current legal status, point out the advantages and disadvantages of these regulations, select practical experiences of foreign law, and contribute to building solutions to improve the regulations on the basis for establishing usufruct rights according to the law in Vietnam today.
The Jurisprudence of Tolerance a study on Transmission and Vision
Authors: Laklimi Ahmed Al-Madani , Choubed Norddine , Raki Abdelhamid , Agli Mustafa
Published: November 2024

This study attempts to resolve two jurisprudential issues, the first one is objective, and the second is methodological. The objective issue is linked to the atrophy of the tolerance concept in the jurisprudential heritage. That is, in the books of general jurisprudence or the collections of calamities, as indicated by the jurisprudential laws of the subject of "Jihad" in both sources. While the second one appears in the illusion that the approach of principles of jurisprudence can produce only inherited jurisprudence in which tolerance does not seem to have any effect. This research has adopted a critical and analytical approach to resolving the first issue. In contrast, it has adopted a constructive and structural one for the second issue, as indicated by the proposed title with the terms: "transmission" and "vision".

Published: November 2024

This study aims to analyze the interaction and interdependence of policy networks, identify inhibiting and supporting factors, and formulate an effective policy network model in the formulation of the Qanun for the protection and fulfillment of the rights of persons with disabilities in North Aceh Regency. A qualitative approach was used in this study, with data collection methods including in-depth interviews, focus group discussions (FGD), observations, and document studies.The results of the study indicate that the interaction and interdependence among actors in the policy network in North Aceh Regency are still not optimal. The involved actors often work separately without adequate coordination, and differences in interests and priorities hinder the achievement of common goals. The main inhibiting factors include a lack of resources, differences in interests among actors, and low public awareness of the rights of persons with disabilities. On the other hand, supporting factors include the commitment of the local government, support from NGOs, and initiatives from the community of persons with disabilities.An effective policy network model includes enhancing coordination among actors, establishing regular communication forums, strengthening the capacity of involved actors, and active participation from the community of persons with disabilities. By implementing this model, it is expected that the formulation of the Qanun for the protection and fulfillment of the rights of persons with disabilities in North Aceh Regency can proceed more effectively and inclusively.

Authors:   Aditi Mahavidyalaya, University of Delhi, Delhi, India., Kaur Rajeev
Published: November 2024

Artificial intelligence (AI) is technology that enables computers and machines to simulate human learning, comprehension, problem solving, decision making, creativity and autonomy. Ancient civilizations contained tales of intelligent robots, such as Greek and Chinese cultures. AI as a modern phenomenon which took shape in the mid-20th century with the advent of digital computers. The first breakthrough, published in 1950, was Alan Turing's paper, ‘Computing Machinery and Intelligence. AI can make provide detailed solution to users and experts. They can act independently, replacing the need for human intelligence or intervention (a classic example being a self-driving car). Many sectors like finance, healthcare, to human resource management (HRM), rely on AI technologies. AI's integration in HRM has brought about great change in conventional HR practices used to measure efficiency, accuracy, strategic decision-making, etc. AI technologies help to provide solution to automation of repetitive tasks, analysis of sprawling volumes of data and insights facilitating decision-making. Through this research paper we try to understand the AI's effects on HR processes, in terms of recruitment, onboarding, performance appraisal, training and development, employee engagement, workforce planning; understanding the benefits and cons of implementing AI in HRM; ethical considerations and potential biases in AI algorithms relevant to HR practices; analysis of emergent AI trends with respect to HRM. Trends in AI in HR tend towards a most promising future, presenting several innovations. Accordingly, HR professionals will be expected to acquire competency with regards to new roles and responsibilities to avail AI in enhancing strategic planning, ethical oversight, and data-driven decision-making.

This study examines the regulatory landscape governing liability and accountability in AI telemedicine in Ghana. Using the CREAC (Context, Rules, Explanation, Application, Conclusion) legal analytical approach, it analyzes existing Ghanaian healthcare laws and regulations in the context of AI telemedicine. The study finds that while Ghana has a comprehensive set of healthcare regulations, they are inadequately equipped to address the unique challenges posed by AI in telemedicine, particularly regarding liability determination, accountability mechanisms, and error management. Significant gaps exist in current legislation, leaving Ghana vulnerable to the risks associated with AI in healthcare. The study recommends developing AI-specific healthcare legislation, updating existing laws, establishing a national AI in healthcare ethics committee, implementing a certification system for AI in healthcare, and creating a specialized AI healthcare liability framework. These measures aim to balance innovation in AI telemedicine with patient safety and ethical healthcare delivery.

This analysis examines the adequacy of Ghana's current regulatory framework in addressing AI explainability in clinical decision support systems. It evaluates existing healthcare laws, derives underlying principles, and assesses their application to AI governance. The study finds significant gaps in the current regulatory regime, including a lack of AI-specific provisions, insufficient explainability requirements, and inadequate frameworks for liability and accountability. While existing principles provide a foundation, they are insufficient to fully address the challenges posed by AI in healthcare. The analysis concludes that comprehensive regulatory development is needed, including AI-specific healthcare regulations, technical standards for explainability, and enhanced regulatory capacity. This study is significant as it provides a roadmap for developing effective AI explainability regulations in Ghana's healthcare sector. It highlights the urgent need for regulatory evolution to ensure safe, ethical, and transparent use of AI in clinical decision support, potentially serving as a model for other developing nations facing similar challenges.

Cet article fait état d’une réalité administrative selon laquelle la Fonction publique, est un des éléments constitutifs de l’Administration publique. Si autant l’Administration publique en général est malade, autant la Fonction publique l’est, comme l’est aussi l’Etat. La problématique de réforme de la Fonction publique, a toujours été au cœur des débats. De la première République à l’époque actuelle, la Fonction publique est vidée de toutes ses substances. La politisation à ce sujet avec des recrutements clandestins et sur base du militantisme ne lui a point permis d’accomplir ses missions. Comme conséquence, les effectifs pléthoriques. Face à ce chao ne permettant plus à la Fonction publique de servir véritablement l’Etat, cette réflexion scientifique préconise le changement des paradigmes administratifs pouvant permettre une réelle ambition à relever. C’est dans cet élan que plusieurs structures sont mises sur pied, en vue de l’adapter au nouveau contexte. Mots-clés : Administration publique, Fonction publique, Politisation, Réforme.

Published: November 2024

Background: At present the aquatic habitats of Pakistan become heavily polluted due to presence of heavy metals and pesticides. This research was carried out to check the percentage of DNA damage, Genetic Damage Index and Cumulative Tail Length of comets formed in the erythrocytes of Oreochromis niloticus following exposure to a tertiary mixture of pesticides (chlorpyrifos, endosulfan and bifenthrin) with the Comet assay.Methods: Acute toxicity (96-hour LC50) of chlorpyrifos + endosulfan + bifenthrin mixture was determined for Oreochromis niloticus (180-day old), and then four sublethal concentrations (1/3rd, 1/4th, 1/5th , and 1/6th  of the LC50) were calculated. To control the possibility of temperature variation, fingerlings of O. niloticus were treated with four experimental pesticides concentrations used for duration of 90 days under constant conditions of laboratory (with negative and positive control). On day 14, 28, 42, 56, 70, and 84 fish peripheral blood cells were collected following exposure to assess DNA damage.Results: DNA damage was observed to be statistically significant (p<0.05) throughout the exposure period due to the various test concentrations. In fish erythrocytes, a dose/concentration-dependent response was observed, with the greatest DNA damage occurring at 1/3rd of the LC50 exposure. Comparing DNA damage in Oreochromis niloticus peripheral blood erythrocytes across all sampling days revealed a continuous rise in the quantity of damaged DNA with increase in time of exposure.Conclusion: Present investigation represented an unprecedented approach to study genotoxic effects of pesticides on fish. The widespread application of pesticides (chlorpyrifos, endosulfan, bifenthrin) in agriculture sector exerts adverse effects on various non-target organisms via trophic transfer that ultimately pose a serious threat for human beings. Current findings suggested minimized and sensible use of pesticides to avoid genetic threats to aquatic fauna and to maintain sustainable agriculture and aquaculture.Keywords: Oreochromis niloticus; Endosulfan; Chlorpyrifos; DNA damage; Chronic exposure

Ammonia is ubiquitous in aquaculture systems and its removal is important for maintaining water quality and the health of the cultured animals. Microalgae are effective at removing ammonia from water, but the effectiveness of different microalgae species may vary. In this study, indigenous Malaysian microalgae isolated from shrimp ponds were screened for their ability in removing ammonia from synthetic culture media. The most efficient microalga’s nitrogen preferences and its growth and nitrogen removal in the early and late stages of shrimp culture wastewater were explored. It was found that four microalgae species namely Halamphora sp. BpSpD2, Chaetoceros sp. BpSpD3, Chlorella sp. BpSpG3 and Desertifilum sp. BpSpC1 were able to eradicate ammonia after 14 days of cultivation. Further investigation showed that Halamphora sp. BpSpD2 was able to remove 100 % ammonia within 5 days of culture. The nitrogen preferences of Halamphora sp. BpSpD2 indicated a preference for ammonia over nitrate as evidenced by the higher growth and removal efficiency of the treatments. Nitrogen removal efficiency of over 70 % was observed in treating 4 to 12 mg L-1 of TAN and nitrate. When tested in shrimp-cultured wastewater, Halamphora sp. showed a higher growth and 100% ammonia removal efficiency in the late stage of shrimp-culture wastewater. It also effectively removed 59% to 80% of nitrogen throughout both the early and late stages of shrimp culture wastewater. The results suggested that the microalga Halamphora sp. BpSpD2 has a significant potential to treat the effluent of an aquaculture system containing high concentrations of ammonia and nitrate.

Authors: Rashid Munazza
Published: November 2024

This research paper investigates the intricate interplay between visual art representation, social attitudes, and the experiences of transgender individuals within the Pakistani context. By integrating the frameworks of queer theory, personal narratives, and the recent enactment of the transgender bill, this study aims to contribute to the creation of a more inclusive and supportive society for transgender individuals in Pakistan.
The paper begins by providing a comprehensive understanding of key terms such as LGBT, transgender, and gay, clarifying their distinct meanings to avoid misconceptions. It then introduces the theoretical lens of queer theory, which offers critical insights into challenging societal norms and perceptions regarding gender and sexuality.
Through an in-depth case study of a college friend who underwent a gender transition and now identifies as a woman, the researcher engages in meaningful dialogue to gain a profound understanding of her personal experiences, challenges, and transformative journey. This exploration sheds light on the emotional disorientation and internal conflicts often encountered when interacting with individuals who have undergone gender transitions, emphasizing the need for empathy and understanding in fostering meaningful connections.
Furthermore, the research delves into the realm of visual art practices among transgender individuals in Pakistan, analyzing the artistic expressions of transgender artists and those who explore transgender themes. By examining the transformative power of visual art to raise awareness, promote empathy, and challenge stereotypes, the study highlights the potential of art as a catalyst for social change and acceptance.
In addition, the paper addresses the broader societal implications and attitudes towards transgender individuals in Pakistani society, particularly in the context of the transgender bill. It underscores the urgency for progress in terms of ensuring equal treatment, inclusivity, and acceptance, aiming to dismantle discriminatory practices and foster an environment that embraces diversity.
Overall, this research contributes to the ongoing discourse on transgender rights and social attitudes in Pakistan. By amplifying personal narratives, employing queer theory as an analytical framework, and recognizing the transformative potential of visual art, this study advocates for the dignified treatment and facilitation of transgender individuals as valued members of society with respect and equality.

Currently, cornea transplantation is the transplant performed in the largest number and with the best success rates. This article sought to bring together the main information about corneal transplantation, including indications, procedures and complications, in order to facilitate access to knowledge about this surgery. To this end, an integrative literature review was carried out with six well-defined steps, including defining the guiding question, searching for articles in specific databases and clear inclusion/exclusion criteria. The descriptors “cornea transplant”, “corneal transplant”, “indications”, “procedures” and “complications” were crossed in the following databases: Virtual Health Library (VHL); National Library of Medicine (PubMed MEDLINE), Scientific Electronic Library Online (SCIELO) and EbscoHost. The final selection included 20 articles. The data collected made it possible to identify some characteristics and statistical data on cornea transplantation. The results include main procedures and techniques, indications, risks, complications and epidemiology. The review concluded that the most used procedure is still penetrating keratoplasty, despite the various evolutions observed; The main indications vary from region to region, but overall the most prevalent was bullous keratopathy and the most prevalent complication is graft failure due to rejection.
CONCESSÃO DE DIÁRIAS NO ESTADO DE RONDÔNIA: A RESTITUIÇÃO DE DIÁRIA CONCERNENTE A GUARDA SABÁTICA DO SERVIDOR ADVENTISTA

The provision of per diems in public service aims to cover the expenses of employees who travel for work outside their regular location, such as food, lodging, and transportation. However, questions arise when religious beliefs are involved, especially in the case of Seventh-day Adventist employees, who observe the Sabbath as a period of rest, abstaining from labor from sunset on Friday to sunset on Saturday. This study examines whether Adventist employees, who are away from their regular location during this period, should return the per diems received for these days, even without performing work activities. Although current legislation does not specifically address this issue, the goal is to clarify the purpose of per diems and determine whether there is a valid justification for requiring such reimbursement. Moreover, the study seeks to identify legal arguments that ensure the right to receive the full per diem, fostering an inclusive and respectful work environment free from religious discrimination. With clear guidelines, the government can prevent cases of discrimination and ensure that religious rights are respected, promoting equity in the treatment of all employees.

Authors: Santos Rudi Rodriguez dos
Published: November 2024

O isolamento social, o medo da doença e as incertezas quanto ao futuro geraram um aumento significativo de transtornos psicológicos, como ansiedade, depressão e estresse. Profissionais da saúde, em especial, enfrentaram elevados níveis de sobrecarga emocional devido ao trabalho na linha de frente do combate ao vírus. Além disso, o distanciamento físico imposto pela pandemia dificultou o acesso a tratamentos tradicionais, levando à adaptação de intervenções psicológicas para o formato digital, como a psicoterapia online, que se mostrou uma solução eficaz para a continuidade do cuidado psicológico. Para lidar com as adversidades, diversas estratégias de enfrentamento foram adotadas, como a prática de atividades físicas, a meditação e a manutenção de redes de apoio social, que se tornaram essenciais para reduzir os efeitos do estresse e da ansiedade. No entanto, a pandemia também evidenciou a desigualdade no acesso a cuidados de saúde mental, destacando a necessidade urgente de políticas públicas que garantam a acessibilidade e a inclusão de todos os indivíduos nos serviços de apoio psicológico.

Over time, changes in the way in which humans have been treating animals have become evident, however this relationship is far from being the ideal way of treating them. To ensure that animals and humans live harmoniously, the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) and specialized agencies of the United Nations (UN) created the Universal Declaration of Animal Rights, where they aimed to defend the right of animals to a dignified life, without mistreatment or exploitation. From that moment on, Brazil developed and has been developing legislation aimed at protecting animals, which recognizes that animals not only have their rights, but it is also the duty of human beings to ensure that they are treated equally, guaranteeing access to these rights and respect for their freedoms.  This work aims to provide a history of animal protection laws, with an emphasis on the first decrees and the advancement of current legislation.
