Climate change, which manifests through shifts in temperature, rainfall patterns, and the frequency of extreme events like droughts and floods, has a substantial impact on agricultural production and food security. This study investigates the influence of climate change on the irrigation needs of apple, pear, and plum crops in two fruit-growing districts in western Serbia, specifically in the Kolubara and Morava districts. This research aims to provide valuable insights for farmers to plan and adapt their production strategies in response to evolving climate conditions. To estimate the water requirements, crop evapotranspiration (ETc), effective rainfall (Pe), and water deficit (In) were determined using historical climate data from meteorological stations in Valjevo (Kolubara district) and Požega (Morava district) for the observed period (1961 - 2021). For projecting future water requirements (2021 - 2040), we employed data from eight regional climate models within the EURO – CORDEX project. The analysis of water requirements for apple, pear, and plum was conducted for both grassed and non-grassed orchards.
In the Kolubara district, the average seasonal water deficit during the observed period was 356 mm in grassed orchards and 191 mm in non-grassed orchards, with the most significant irrigation requirements occurring in July and August, representing 60 - 70% of the seasonal water requirement. Looking ahead to the future period (2021 - 2040), the average water deficit increases to 401 mm in grassed orchards and 202 mm in non-grassed orchards, marking a 13% and 6% rise, respectively, compared to the observed period. This signifies a need for 1 to 2 additional irrigation sessions. In the Morava district, the average seasonal water deficit during the observed period was 403 mm in grassed orchards and 236 mm in non-grassed orchards, with the highest irrigation requirements in June, July, and August, accounting for 80 - 90% of the seasonal water requirement. Due to an anticipated increase in total precipitation in the future period (2021 - 2040) in the Morava district, there is a decrease in the seasonal water deficit by 3% in grassed orchards and 16% in non-grassed orchards. However, even with reduced water requirements in the future, there remains a significant requirement for irrigation in May, June, July, and August when rainfall is limited.

This study addresses the urgency of climate change by examining the impact of sustainability awareness on the fashion industry. Amid a rising green market, driven by environmental concerns and consumer awareness, the fashion industry grapples with its environmental footprint, particularly in fast fashion. Millennials and Gen Z show a strong preference for ecologically sustainable products. The research aimed to bridge inconsistencies in existing studies regarding the relationship between sustainability awareness and the intention to purchase sustainable fashion items. Utilizing the Theory of Planned Behavior, the study surveyed 107 respondents using Google Forms and a 5-point Likert scale. Then using the results, validity and reliability, collinearity, model summary, and hypothesis are tested. Findings reveal a positive connection between sustainability awareness, commitment, and purchase intention, with commitment mediating the awareness-intention relationship. Theoretical implications align with previous research, while managerial implications emphasize the importance of sustainability education, commitment-building, and innovative sustainable product development to meet evolving consumer preferences.

Published: December 2023

Islamic banking is a financial system that adheres to the principles of Sharia law, which prohibits the charging of interest. Scholars have differing perspectives on Islamic banking, with some arguing that it is a more ethical and sustainable form of banking, while others contend that it is not truly interest-free or transparent. This paper critically examines the perspectives of various scholars on Islamic banking as presented in HEC recognized journals. First school of thought, represented by Dr. Fazlurrehman, distinguishes between riba and commercial interest. They do not consider commercial interest to be riba, and therefore believe that conventional banking is not in conflict with Islamic teachings. A second school of thought, represented by Mufti Taqi Usmani, Prof. Khurshid Ahmed, and others, advocates for the Islamization of the conventional banking system. They believe that banks can be modified in accordance with Islamic teachings to create a more ethical and interest free financial system. On the other hand, Mufti Rashid Ahmed and Mufti Dr. Abdul Wahid, views Islamic banking as a positive development for Muslims, but does not believe that the current Islamic banking system is fully based on Islamic law. They have proposed suggestions for how the system can be made more acceptable.
A third school of thought, represented by Dr Muhammad Zahid Siddique Mughal and others, completely rejects Islamic banking. They argue that there is no real difference between conventional and Islamic banking. There are many reasons why scholars have different opinions about Islamic banking. One reason is that there are different arguments presented in Islamic law about the prohibition of interest. Another reason is that there are different methods of Islamic banking and scholars have different opinions about these methods. These opinions vary depending on social, and economic factors. However, there is no doubt that it is a growing field, with Islamic banks operating in over 75 countries around the world.

Nowadays, the Muslim Ummah is facing many problems in the field of knowledge, Science and Philosophy. The Muslim world is intellectually backward compared to the West. There is no legitimate pursuit of education and research in influential and wealthy Muslim countries. In addition, Muslim societies are divided into classes in Education Sector. Ancient and modern educational institutions have become antagonistic to each other. Although efforts have been made to harmonize ancient and modern education, but since the beginning of the new century, the educational revolution has come, institutions of higher learning have been established. New research and academic fields and disciplines have been introduced. For this reason, there have been many effects on Muslim thought. In the passion of research, students are shown the path of Skepticism, Deviation and Atheism. The people of Andalusia were high in knowledge and grace, but Averroes thought several centuries ahead. He was like a modern man who had gone back in time. He is an important Muslim Scholar of the 12th century; he described the usefulness of the continuation of education and research in his books, and tried to connect the scholars with knowledge and wisdom, according to him, it helps to reach God. He explained the utility of Philosophy and wisdom and considered it to a hope for the mankind. Averroes was engrossed in the search for scientific facts and laws of nature and wanted to see the knowledge by religion and reason as harmonious, so that there should be no deep division in the sciences. He drew attention to the teacher adopting the teaching methods according to the mind of the student. He called for faith and belief, and he wanted to keep high-level research within the reach of those who can use these sciences to protect themselves from the evil in their hearts and minds. On the contrary, strange dangers may arise, as he rejected the Atheism and Skepticism. Averroes highlights the importance of acquiring knowledge in the interests of the Muslim Ummah. He acknowledged the supremacy of the divine philosopher and talked about the importance of scientific and research evidence, if the research had continued on this basis, the Muslim Ummah would not have suffered stagnation and decline. Even today, Averroes’ research is a guide for the Muslim Ummah. By considering him, Muslims can regain their lost position. This research has shown that his ideas are the guide in contemporary intellectual problems, and should be solved.

In traditional Islamic eschatology, it is claimed that Jesus Christ will return in the Second Coming with Imam Mahdi to kill the Al-Masih ad-Dajjal ('The False Messiah'), after which with the ancient tribes Gog and Magog (Yajūj Maʾjūj) would disperse. While the public is of the opinion that miracles are contrary to reason, it is contrary to reality to judge them by experience or reason, therefore the news that we have received through Allah and Prophet Muhammad ﷺ, whether they understand us or not, is not reliable. What will be done about the issue of the second coming of Christ, which is related to several news of the Qur'an and Hadith, so it is not appropriate to judge it by reason and experience, regarding the words that have appeared in the Qur'an and Hadith, and believe in them. Jews are not only waiting for the arrival of their Maseeh, but they are making regular efforts to seat him on the world throne. Even muslims should prepare thereself as a nation and according to the needs and requirements of this time.

Marriage is a legally and socially sanctioned union, usually between a man and a woman. It is a social ceremony that is continued in every religion of the world, in every region and in every nation, because it is related to the survival and continuity of life, which if left, the human race will be cut off. Christians believe that marriage is a gift from God. In Islam, marriage holds great value and importance. Islam and Christianity, both Semitic religions, have some commonalities regarding the concept of marriage. In both Islam and Christianity, the importance of marriage is emphasized, some relationships are forbidden for marriage and there are severe punishments for those who marry with mahrams. In both religions, certain conditions of marriage are necessary to fulfil. In both religions, the husband is declared as the ruler and administrator, and it is ordered to treat their wives with love, compassion and gentleness. We found some differences regarding marriage affairs. Unlike Islam, celibacy is permitted and encouraged in Christianity. Islam allows a man to have up to four wives at the same time while Christianity allows only one marriage. In Islam, there is a clear concept of haqq-e-mahr, while in Christianity there is no such concept. This article presents a comparative study of the concept of marriage in Islam and Christianity.

Abstract: Generative adversarial network (GAN) is an overwhelming yet promising method to address the data imbalance problem. However, most existing GANs that are usually inspired by computer vision techniques have not yet taken the significance and redundancy of features into consideration delicately, probably producing rough samples with overlapping and incorrectness. To address this problem, a novel GAN called improved GAN with feature filtering (IGAN-FF) is proposed, which establishes a new loss function for the model training by replacing the traditional Euclidean distance with the Mahalanobis distance and taking the ℓ1,2-norm regularization term into consideration. The remarkable merits of the proposed IGAN-FF can be highlighted as follows: 1) the utilization of the Mahalanobis distance can make a fair evaluation of different attributes without neglecting any trivial/small-scale but significant ones. In addition, it can mitigate the disturbance caused by the correlation between features; 2) the embedding of ℓ1,2-norm regularization term into the loss function contributes greatly to the feature filtering by guaranteeing the data sparsity as well as helps reduce risk of overfitting. Finally, empirical experiments on 16 well-known imbalanced datasets demonstrate that our proposed IGAN-FF performs better at most evaluation metrics than the other 11 state-of-the-art methods.
