A Correlational Study of Spiritual Intelligence, Resilience and Perceived Stress among University Students of Peshawar, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa
Authors: Khan Sommaya , Shah Syeda Nadia , Ullah Aman
Published: October 2023

A better feeling of meaning and purpose, as well as advancements in crucial personal and professional skills, are all results of spiritual intelligence. The purpose of the current study was to look at the relationships between perceived stress, resilience, and spiritual intelligence. The total sample of the current study was comprised of 200 Peshawar university students (N=200). One hundred (n=100) were males, and one hundred (n=100) were females. The sample was approached from various universities of Peshawar. For the collection of data a research tool, the spiritual intelligence self-report inventory (SISRI) along with Brief resilience scale (BRS) and Perceived stress scale (PSS) were administered both individually and in groups. The study's findings clearly illustrated a moderately negative link between spiritual intelligence and perceived stress (=-.426**) and a moderately positive correlation between spiritual intelligence and resilience (=.163*). While with respect to male and female differences in spiritual intelligence (t=1.20, p=.231) and perceived stress (t=1.55, p=.122) have been obtained. The linear regression analysis shows that spiritual intelligence predicts statistically significant at p.05 with a variance R2 of.181 and an adjusted R2 of.177, and it also predicts resilience at .05 with a variance R2 of.26 and an adjusted R2 of 0.22. Similarly, results show that perceived stress and resilience are predicted by spiritual intelligence. In light of the findings, it is inferred that spiritual intelligence and resilience are positively correlated, while perceived stress and spiritual intelligence are negatively correlated. Spiritual IQ and perceived stress did not show any conclusive gender differences. However, students' perceptions of stress and spiritual IQ were slightly higher for female students.

Published: October 2023

This qualitative study was adopted with the major aim to explore the jail environment confronting the children with incarcerated mothers in selected jails of the province of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Pakistan including Peshawar, Timergara, Bannu and Mansehra. Primary data was collected from all 15 incarcerated mothers through in-depth interview. Moreover, five each professional lawyers, members of the jail-staff, representatives of the Child Protection Commission, and eight children with jailed mothers who were able to respond to questions, two female psychologists, two jail-based physicians, and four school teachers assigned to teach the children in jails were also interviewed. Results reflect the Jail environment as perilous for incarcerated mothers and their children. They faced humiliating treatment besides being provided with contaminated water and unhygienic foodstuff, non-availability of basic hygienic facilities, the faulty ventilation in the washrooms causing foul smell in the residential hall even entire cells. Cockroaches, rats, insects, bedbugs, centipedes, and irregular arrangement of disinfecting the toilets and residential places coupled their inconveniences. The study recommends evolving an effective policy and its onward implementation in true spirit by the Government of Pakistan to provide good quality services with main focus on drinking water, adequate sanitation facilities, and trained medical and professional physicians.

Published: October 2023

Development is crucial for the prosperity of any country. Infrastructural development plays a vital role in the socioeconomic development of the country. However, sometimes it causes development-induced displacement that results in trauma for displaced community and creates challenges for them. In this vein, the current paper aims to explore challenges and prospects of development-induced development of the M-4 project where in 3674 persons were affected from Gojra to Shorkot. A qualitative stance was adopted to account the actual experiences of the Projected Affected Persons (PAPs), whose families were displaced due to M-4 project. A total of twelve Focus Group Discussions (FDGs) were conducted. In which 93 Project Affected Persons (PAPs) participated. Thematic analysis was carried out to draw major themes. It was found that the affected families faced many social cultural and economic challenges while being displaced from their owned assets. The Project Affected Persons families became homeless and landholders became landless. Their source of livelihood vanished and they felt hard to change their means of livelihood. It is suggested that the government and other funding agencies should play their vibrant role in the diminution of the challenges they are still facing in bringing themselves back into mainstream society.

Authors: Iram Humera , Bashir Uzma , Gazali Sidra , Idrees Hira
Published: October 2023

The high cost of living is unrestful for all economic agents. The shocks in the cost of living badly affect emerging economies like Pakistan. This study provides a novel analysis of the impact of “different types of living costs” on the demand and supply of the textile industry of Pakistan. It used the Structural Vector Autoregressive (SVAR) model to analyze the impact of the shocks in cost of living on textile industry demand and supply using monthly data from July 2008 to June 2020. The study's findings suggest that rising energy, housing, clothing, and footwear cost weaken demand for the textile sector, mostly through lower purchasing power. While education costs diminish supply, food costs raise producer price index, and transportation costs have no effect. Our findings contribute to the body of knowledge and give vital information on which types of living costs affect the textile sector and which might lead to improvement. The study's findings aid in the establishment of strategies for the textile industry's long-term viability and development. Furthermore, the study provides a novel insight that not all sorts of costs are detrimental to the textile industry.

Published: October 2023

This study was designed to identify the potential causes of flash floods in the Watalai watershed District of Bajaur, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Pakistan. The study used both primary and secondary data to achieve the study's main objectives. The five most frequently flood-affected villages were selected for the data collection. To investigate the anthropogenic causes of flash floods 310 carefully designed questionnaires were filled by the representatives of different sections of the local community. The study finds that in the opinion of 33% of the respondents’ intense rainfall in the watershed mainly causes flash floods in the area. Similarly6% of the investigated people claim that flash floods in the area are due to heavy thunderstorms in the spring and summer seasons. About 33% of the inquired community is of the view that human encroachment and unplanned infrastructure are the main causes of flash floods in the Watalai floodplain. Likewise, 8% of the sample population reveals that flash floods are caused in the area due to an increase in population. However, in addition to the responses regarding the causes of flash floods from the community, other factors like the piped culverts and low height bridges are also causes of flash floods in the study area. The analysis of the study area's spatial images shows that the water channel's sharp angles, the low permeable mountainous region, steep slopes and the deposition of sediment load were the reason for high flow and flash floods.
The Pashtun Tahafuz Movement as a Template for Non-Violent Collective behaviour
Authors: Iqbal Javed
Published: October 2023

This review paper is based on a social movement in a protracted conflict zone of the Pashtun lands in Pakistan, bordering Afghanistan. The paper contextualises the available literature on “protests” and “social movements” as a manifestation of disenfranchisement of an ethnic minority geographically located in a global conflict hotspot, particularly post 9/11. Unlike violent protests in other parts of the world, this movement is a unique example of ‘Collective Behaviour’ in contemporary politics that is rational, composed, and has all the hallmarks of a classic non-violent movement. The usual collective behaviour is considered ‘mad’ and ‘blind’ but Pashtun Tahfuz Movement (PTM) provides a template for how young people may channelise a non-violent narrative to serve their cause. The result of this on-going movement testifies to the fact that there still is room for ‘non-violence’ in a world engulfed in violence across the continents of Asia, Europe, Middle East and Latin America.
How Does Disability Affect Wellbeing? A Literature Review and Philosophical Analysis
Authors: Hiller Avram ,   Philosophy Documentation Center
Published: October 2023

The question of how disability affects wellbeing has occupied a number of philosophers in recent years. However, this literature has proceeded without a careful examination of the fairly vast empirical research on the topic. In this paper, I review the scholarly literature and discuss some philosophically-relevant aspects of it. On average, those with disabilities have a significantly lower level of wellbeing than those without disabilities. Furthermore, there is strong evidence that this reduction in wellbeing is not due entirely to ableist factors. Hence, I argue that it shows that the Mere Difference View of disability is most likely false. However, the literature indeed shows that disabled people typically live good lives. Thus, despite its rejection of the Mere Difference View, it still upholds a disability-affirmative view. These findings allow for a measured critique of some of Peter Singer’s writings on disability.

Published: October 2023

Iris inflammation can occur in post cataract surgery patients due to lack of adherence to post cataract surgery care. With the occurrence of inflammation of the iris will cause discomfort to patients with complaints of redness of the eyes, blurred vision, and pain in the eyes. The purpose of this study was to determine the relationship between eye care adherence and iris inflammation in postoperative phacoemulsification patients at Undaan Eye Hospital Surabaya. The study used an analytical survey design with a cross sectional approach. The sample of this study was 80 people who were examined on the seventh day after Phacoemulsification surgery taken by purposive sampling. The independent variable in this study was eye care compliance and the dependent variable was the incidence of iris inflammation. Data were collected through observation and questionnaires. Data analysis using chi-square test. The results showed that the level of adherence to eye care in post-phacoemulsification patients was mostly very compliant with 60 respondents (75%), a small proportion of respondents experienced inflammation as many as 19 respondents (23.8%). The results of data analysis using the chi square test was 57.728 with a p value of 0.000 <0.05, which means that there is a relationship between eye care compliance and the incidence of iris inflammation in post-operative phacoemulsification patients. The conclusion is that the success of cataract treatment cannot be separated from postoperative care. Postoperative care adherence is an important factor in the success of cataract surgery recovery. It is hoped that this research can motivate nurses to always provide education to be more obedient to postoperative phacoemulsification care and patients care about health, especially compliance in postoperative phacoemulsification care.

The article proposes a new solution for laying an oil pipeline with the help of a repair pit, which allows to preserve the fertile layer of the earth, which is difficult to restore after conventional work in the traditional way. An analysis of the occurrence of defects was carried out and a conclusion was made about the criteria and operating conditions of the oil pipeline that affect their occurrence. As a novelty, the scheme of the repair pit of the main oil pipeline is proposed. The proposed novelty will significantly optimize and increase productivity during the reconstruction of the main oil pipeline. This method is distinguished by simplicity, as well as the preservation of a fertile soil layer, which is quite important in the conditions of the sharply continental climate of the oil pipeline area. The ongoing reconstruction of the pipeline will allow replacing defective sections of the pipeline, thereby increasing the service life and avoiding accidents on the pipeline, which is quite an important factor in the conditions of uninterrupted supply of petroleum products to the consumer.

Научная новизна работы состоит в отображении температурной зависимости вязкости кластерно-ассоциатной вероятностной математической моделью, иерархическая структура которой адекватна физической природе агрегации частиц без учета их конкретного строения, но с учетом изменения степени их ассоциации с повышением температуры. Расчет данных проводился на основе нового кластерно-ассоциатного уравнения, которое было выведено в рамках концепции хаотизированных частиц. Приведены расчетные данные в температурном диапазоне от температуры начало кипения и конец кипеня. Показано, что степень ассоциации кластеров при повышении температуры закономерно понижается, равная в среднем трех-четырех-частичной компоновке кластеров в ассоциате. Проведено сопоставление кластерно-ассоциатной модели с уравнением Френкеля в логарифмических координатах.

Жорж Папазов: между сюрреализма и лиричната абстракция
Authors: Nikolov Kalin
Published: October 2023

The article traces the dramatic vicissitudes of the life of the Bulgarian artist Georgi Papazov (Bulgaria, 1894–France, 1972). He was among the first artists to develop automatic painting as a way of overriding previously established techniques in drawing. Along with Juan Miró, André Masson, and Max Ernst, Malkin emerged as one of the first representatives of Surrealism as a movement in art. However, Papazov chose not to become an official member of the Surrealists so that he could freely experiment with other artistic styles without compromising his position in the group. He pursued his own interests in the art world, ranging from automatic painting and surrealism to expressionism, lyrical abstraction, and color-field painting. Shocked by their sectarianism, he refused to join the movement, which cost him complete neglect by historians of surrealism, as Jean-Paul Crispell wrote.
Да живееш с призраци: психоанализата като призракология
Authors: Kalinov Valentin
Published: October 2023

The present article attempts to examine the practice of psychoanalysis and the field of psychoanalytic experience from the perspective of the so-called hauntological turn in the humanities. In the logic of the unconscious, the central event of analytic interaction is seen as an apparition in three different aspects: that of the revenant (the return of the repressed), that of the phantom (as the secret of the Other in the subject's unconscious), and that of the spectre (as a relation of responsibility to the Other). We will suggest that psychoanalysis – and perhaps only psychoanalysis – gives the ghosts a real place; and even more: in a particular way psychoanalysis makes them a place of truth, incorporating them into itself, giving them a full share in its history, and opening up the possibility that they can have their own refuge in it, their own history. Psychoanalysis, in other words, endows ghosts with the freedom in which any articulation of meaning for the subject is possible.

At certain points in his scientific career prof. Isaac Passy was ideologically stigmatized by his unsympathetic colleagues. As a result, he experienced great difficulties in life and in his career, was attacked ideologically through written accusations of ideological sins (idealism, subjectivism, revisionism), and suffered political suspicions about his belief in Marxian reflection theory. To all these accusations I. Passy responded with tireless work, with numerous scientific publications, with writing prefaces to the works of great European thinkers and philosophers, with giving public lectures open not only for students but also for citizens. His detractors, in the end, failed to break this extremely erudite scholar and widely known and recognized Bulgarian intellectual. With his scientific achievements, Isaac Passy won for himself a reserved place in the Bulgarian cultural scene of twentieth century.

A very crucial part of Bangladeshi people’s employment, GDP contribution, and mainly livelihood is agriculture. It plays a vital role in decreasing poverty and ensuring food security. Plant diseases are a serious stumbling block in agricultural production in Bangladesh. At times, humans can’t detect the disease from an infected leaf with the naked eye. Using inorganic chemicals or pesticides in plants when it’s too late leads in vain most of the time, deposing all the previous labor. The deep-learning technique of leaf-based image classification, which has shown impressive results, can make the work of recognizing and classifying all diseases trouble-less and more precise. In this paper, we’ve mainly proposed a better model for the detection of leaf diseases. Our proposed paper includes the collection of data on three different kinds of crops: bell peppers, tomatoes, and potatoes. For training and testing the proposed CNN model, the plant leaf disease dataset collected from Kaggle, is used which has 17430 images. The images are labeled with 14 separate classes of damage. The developed CNN model performs efficiently and could successfully detect and classify the tested diseases. The proposed CNN model may have great potency in crop disease management.

Teknoloji liderliği, teknolojinin hızla geliştiği dönemde eğitim sistemlerinde teknolojinin etkin bir şekilde kullanılmasıdır. Bu çalışmada pandemi süreci olan 2020-2022 yılları arasında Türkiye Ulusal Tez Merkezi'nde (YÖKTEZ) yayınlanan ve “Eğitimde Teknoloji Liderliği” ve “Teknoloji Entegrasyonu” üzerine yapılmış lisansüstü tezler betimsel içerik analizi ile incelenmiştir. İncelenen çalışmaların 13'ünün nicel, 4'ünün nitel ve 1’inin yöntem kullanılarak hazırlandığı görülmüştür. Analiz sonucunda lisansüstü tezlerin sadece yüksek lisans tezlerinden oluştuğu, genellikle nicel-ilişkisel tarama modelinde ölçek kullanılarak ve çok sayıda örneklem ile yapıldığı, nitel araştırmalara çok az yer verildiği ve örneklem grubu olarak neredeyse bütün çalışmalarda okul yöneticisi ve öğretmenlerden veri toplandığı belirlenmiştir. Tezlerde öne çıkan sonuçlara göre okul yöneticileri teknolojik liderlik yeterliklerini yüksek olarak algılamaktadır. Fakat öğretmenler uzaktan eğitim sürecinde ders işleme araç ve programlarını kullanma konusunda yaşadıkları eksiklik nedeniyle, okul yöneticilerinin en çok teknoloji liderliğine ihtiyaç duyduklarını ve onlardan çeşitli beklentiler içinde olduklarını belirtmişlerdir. Ön plana çıkan öneri ise yönetici ve öğretmenlere teknolojik liderlik ve teknoloji entegrasyonu konusunda hizmet içi ve işbaşında eğitimlerin verilmesi ve bunun yanı sıra hizmet içi eğitimlerin kalitesinin yöntem, zaman vb. değişkenler açısından artırılmasıdır. Lisansüstü tezlere genel olarak bakıldığında genelinin ilişkisel veri tarama şeklinde yapıldıkları fakat sorunları ve yapılan uygulamaları derinlemesine inceleyen ve değerlendiren gözlemsel ve deneysel çalışmalara yer verilmediği görülmüştür.

Published: October 2023

Many countries have adopted the nursing process as a basic requirement for quality health care services, but there is a problem with its implementation in the clinical areas of many healthcare facilities. Even though the generality of nurses agrees with the benefits of the nursing process, they do not always use it practically. The implementation of the nursing process in Federal Medical Centre (FMC) Apir is not well organized and advanced as it ought to be. An institutional-based, descriptive cross-sectional study design was conducted at FMC Apir. A simple random sampling technique was applied to select study subjects. The data were collected using self-administered questionnaires. Binary logistic regressions were used. Then, P-value < 0.05 was considered statistically significant in this study. This study reviled that 62.8% of nurses implemented the nursing process. Work experience greater than or equal to five years [AOR: 1.81; 95% CI (1.29–4.81)], support from the administration of the organization to do the nursing process [AOR: 1.96; 95% CI (1.20–3.03)], and knowledgeable nurses [AOR: 2.21; 95% CI (1.30–4.98)] are significantly associated with the implementation of the nursing process. Exactly sixty-two nurses at FMC Apir implemented the nursing process. Work experience, organizational support to implement the nursing process, and knowledge were significant factors affecting the implementation of the nursing process.

This study is devoted to investigate the relationship between financial development and economic growth in Vietnam. The data employed in this study consist of the yearly financial development index and GDP growth during the period from 1992 to 2020. Using a vector autoregressive (VAR) approach, the results indicate that the financial development has the negative effect on the economic growth. However, in the opposite direction, there is no evidence regarding the effect of economic growth on financial development in Vietnam. In addition, results derived from the Granger causality test confirm there is the uni-directional causality, from the financial development to the economic growth.

Published: October 2023

The basic fact from which we started our research is that human resources are an indispensable factor in the growth and development of all economic activities. Human resources in the Republic of Serbia have been constantly and turbulently changing in the last hundred years. The indicator of that fact is the latest population census, where the Republic of Serbia has lost five hundred thousand inhabitants in the past 5 years. The aim of the paper is to indicate the importance of demographic changes and their impact on the achievement of sustainable development goals. The results of the research show us devastating data, both the demographic picture and the excessive lag in achieving the goals of sustainable development. Such a situation was influenced by direct and indirect factors. The methods used in the work are: analysis, synthesis, statistical method and deduction method. The concluding considerations tell us that it is necessary to invest more in improving the conditions and work of the publishing house, as well as the active participation of all institutions in reducing demographic changes, in order to achieve the goals of sustainable development.
Industry of the Republic of Serbia: Structural aspect of development processes (Appendix for the economic history of the second half of the 20th century)
Authors: Gligorijević Živorad , Kostadinović Ivana
Published: October 2023

Industry represents a very complex and heterogeneous area of material production, which consists of a large number of smaller, interconnected parts (complexes and branches) that make up its structure. The structure of the industry is extremely important, because the overall trends of growth and development, both of the industry itself and of the economy as a whole, depend on that structure. Bearing in mind that fact, the analysis of development processes and changes in the structure of the industry of the Republic of Serbia is a key research question on which this paper focuses. In this sense, in this work, based on relevant theoretical knowledge and reference statistical data, the development processes and structure of the industry of the Republic of Serbia are monitored and analyzed over a relatively long period of time (during the second half of the 20 th century) in which large and specific changes took place. As a consequence of those changes, structural inconsistencies, which arose at the very beginning of accelerated development after the Second World War, were continuously present and represent the basic characteristic of development processes in the industry of the Republic of Serbia in the entire analyzed period.

The overall perspective of the last decades on the economy and society evolution brings to the fore the undoubted influence of the technological progress on the two interconnected key spheres. Digital transformation ensured the transition to new models in almost all fields of activity, being recognized over the years as a real competitive advantage. Moreover, the characteristic circumstances of the modern world lay the groundwork for new directions that support the digitalization, aiming to enhance the quality and performance of processes mediated by specific providers, as well as to satisfy the needs and requirements of final consumers. The financial spectrum, including its all-related activities, was naturally subjected to the digitalization process, thus ensuring the transition from traditional financial services to financial technology. Gaining an increased interest from companies, financial technology, well-known nowadays as FinTech, has certainly gone beyond the limitation to the banking services. In the current context, with a narrow but significant view, FinTech can be defined as the cluster of digital financial services carried out without the intermediaries' intervention. Even though the implementation of FinTech has become an objective for many entities, the process itself can be influenced by various factors. Among the conditions preceding the overall digital transition facilitation, education has often been identified. Under these considerations, the existence of a causal relationship or, at least, of a direct connection between the adoption of financial technology and education can be called into question. Providing a better understanding of the addressed subject requires, as a preliminary step, the analysis of the two considered concepts, namely FinTech and education, from the perspective of existing scientific research. Thus, the purpose of the current research was to identify some notable aspects regarding the potential relationship, at conceptual level, between financial technology and education. Achieving the predefined goal involved performing a bibliometric analysis, based on the scientific publications indexed in the Web of Science database. The obtained results reveal both the growing interest on the research topic, but also the existence of a direct or indirect cause-effect association between FinTech and education.
Scientific review tourism of the Republic of Serbia: Characteristics and strategic goals of development
Authors: Gligorijević Živorad , Kostadinović Ivana
Published: October 2023

Tourism represents an activity which, as stated in numerous researches and official documents, is of exceptional importance for the development of the Republic of Serbia. However, during the second half of the 20th century, as well as during the first decade of the 21st century, tourism was not a priority direction of development and did not achieve significant results in development. With regards to numerous measures and activities undertaken since its inception, tourism became one of the priority activities and one of the key factors of sustainable growth and development in the middle of the second decade of the 21st century, until the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic. During the pandemic, tourism recorded significant losses, primarily in international tourist traffic. The aim of the work is to analyze the characteristics of development, based on theoretical knowledge and relevant data, and then to look at the strategic goals of the future development of tourism in the Republic of Serbia, which must be aligned with modern development trends and must be based on realistic assumptions of the country's competitive position on tourist market.

Authors: Stojković Hadži , Kastratović Edita , Janić Lazar
Published: October 2023

Public procurement management is a process in which national governments, local authorities, and their agencies order and pay for products or services needed to carry out their operations. The amount of public procurement in today's countries includes a portion of government spending and constitutes a significant share of GDP. The type of public procurement also includes the emergence of goods that did not exist before. This type of public procurement is most interesting for analysis and research because it focuses on the potential of the public procurement system to stimulate innovative activities and the emergence of innovative products and services, leading to economic development and competitive advantages in the global market. In this paper, we will focus on examples learned from developed countries that utilize the public procurement system to encourage innovation and development.

The subject of this paper is the analysis of the application of banking internal credit risk measurement models for the purpose of calculating the minimum regulatory capital. The Basel Committee established proposals for an internal rating-based approach (IRB approach-internal rating-based) to capital requirements for credit risk. Such an approach, which relies on the bank's internal assessment of counterparties and exposures, can ensure two key objectives: the first is additional risk sensitivity, in which capital requirements based on internal ratings can be much more sensitive on the drivers of credit risk of economic losses in the banking portfolio; the second is incentive compatibility, where the appropriate structure of the RBI approach can provide a framework that encourages banks to continue to improve their internal risk management practices. The internal ranking approach aims to improve the safety and soundness of the financial system. The paper defines the terminology and classification of the rating system. The probability of default (PD-probability at default) and the other two risk components LGD (loss given default) and EAD (exposure at default) are key input parameters for the calculation of regulatory capital. The rating system is, therefore, a significant driver of risk management and financial performance measurement. To be in a position to demonstrate to supervisors that an internal rating system should be used for the purposes of determining minimum regulatory capital requirements, banks must first demonstrate that the rating system is an integral part of their ongoing operations and risk management culture.
