Published: February 2025

The smart cities strategy is crucial to safeguarding the environment, which is possible with the help of renewable energy and information and communication technologies (ICTs). Therefore, this research investigates the effect of ICT, green energy or renewable energy, urbanization, and economic growth (GDP) on environmental sustainability in China. The study employed the autoregressive distributed lag (ARDL) method to analyze the data. The findings demonstrate that ICT and renewable energy have an adverse and significant effect on carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions in the country. It states that the rise of ICT and renewable energy increases the quality of the environment. On the other hand, urbanization and economic growth have a positive and significant impact on CO2 emissions. The result argues that large-scale urbanization decreases the quality of the environment. The research recommends that ICT diffusion, renewable energy consumption, smart urbanization, and a low-carbon economy strategy assist in achieving environmental sustainability goals.

Published: February 2025

This study investigates the environmental sway of China's nuclear energy use in the perspective of the Environmental Kuznets Curve (EKC) and Pollution Haven Hypothesis (PHH) by using the time series data from 1993 to 2022. The study used an autoregressive distributed lag (ARDL) simulating method. One of the limitations of the study is the short range of the data although the ARDL method perfectly applicable for the dataset with a short range. The findings of empirical research support that the PHH does not apply to China, meaning that foreign direct investment significantly impacts environmental results. Moreover, empirical findings confirmed the helpful impact of nuclear energy in reducing pollutants. Furthermore, the outcome confirms the EKC theory in the Chinese context, suggesting that increasing economic expansion may decrease emission levels in the future. Higher economic growth and increased foreign investment in nuclear energy generation are expected to improve environmental excellence by decreasing carbon emissions.

Published: February 2025

The worldwide community is worried due to various ecological modifications. The change of climate, desertification, logging, coastal erosion, overfishing, loss of biodiversity, and soil resource depletion are all causes that contribute to ecological harm. Quite a few observers have pointed out that these problems add up to substantial alterations to Earth's surface brought about by human activity. Using the framework of the environmental Kuznets curve (EKC), this investigation analyzes the influences of alternative energy resources and natural resources alongside government spending on France's ecological sustainability throughout 1990-2021. Long-run estimates are calculated with completely modified least squares (FMOLS), and the empirical analysis's robustness is examined with dynamic ordinary least squares (DOLS). Long-term estimations show an opposing association concerning carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions with renewable and nuclear energies, natural resources, and government spending, whereas a positive liaison between CO2 emissions with economic development. However, CO2 emissions have a negative association with the square of economic progression, lending credence to EKC. As the economy grows, environmental sustainability declines. In the long run, EKC will help the environment progress for the better. Implications for policy, research gaps, and future directions are discussed to round out the study.

Global warming is a significant worldwide challenge, principally caused by the ongoing increase in carbon dioxide (CO2) concentrations. Confronting this dilemma necessitates inventive solutions and anticipatory actions to alleviate the consequences. This paper analyzes the influence of Bangladesh’s agriculture, industrialization, and imports on CO2 emissions to inform sustainable development strategies. The dynamic ordinary least squares (DOLS) method was applied by utilizing time-series data from 1971 to 2023. The unit root tests were used to ensure the data stationarity. The results of the DOLS estimation revealed that a 1% increment in the agricultural value added would reduce CO2 pollution by 0.51% in the long run. However, a 1% increase in industrialization and imports causes higher carbon emissions in Bangladesh by 1.39% and 0.64%, respectively. The research highlights the significance of advancing green manufacturing methods, improving agricultural efficacy, and limiting imports as crucial gauges for reducing CO2 emissions and attaining ecological longevity in Bangladesh.

This study was carried out with the aim of overcoming the difficulties confronted by grade 7 students of KM/ST/Al-Marjan Muslim Ladies college (N.S )Sammanthurai, Ampara in using pronunciation in appropriate place in communication. Because use correct pronunciation in communication has been a huge challenge for most of the grade 7 students at KM/ST/Al-Marjan Muslim Ladies college (N.S )Sammanthurai, Ampara. Therefore, 20 grade 7 students were randomly selected for data collection from the total population (60 students). This study was a qualitative research and data collection method were qualitative. The research instruments of this study were observation and a test. According to the analysis of the observation, the findings show that most of the participants do not have the previous knowledge about consonants pronounce. They are majority aware of only ‘ /ch/ ’ ,/d/ ’, ‘ /g/’, ‘ /th/ ’ words. Most of them do not have ideas about ‘ /v/ ’, ‘ /w/ ’, ‘ /sh/ ’ , ‘ /s/ ’ , ‘ /l/ ’ , ‘ /r/ ’,‘ /x/ ’ and more. Further, according to the analysis of the test, a large amount of the participants (13 participants) failed to ‘ /d/ ’, ‘ /g/ pronounce the sounds in the given words. Likewise, with regard to use of ‘ /l/ ’ , ‘ /r/ ’ in words, the finding show that 8 participants correctly pronounce ‘ /l/ ’ , ‘ /r/ ’in only one word out of 5 places to pronounce ‘ /l/ ’ , ‘ /r/’ words. Moreover, no participants correctly pronounce ‘ /l/ ’ , ‘ /r/ ’ in all five words. The reason is, students do not have the knowledge of pronunciations accurately in communication. This problem can be overcome when the followings are implemented such as teaching consonants pronunciation rules using deductive method, applying interesting pronouncing activities and games in the classroom, correcting students’ pronounce, strictly focusing on pronunciation error, giving reading practice and explaining the way the pronunciation have been used in communication.
Properties of the Dirichlet Green's function for linear diffusions on a half line
Authors: Conlon Joseph G. , Dabkowski Michael 
Published: February 2025

This article concerns the study of Green's functions for one dimensional diffusions with constant diffusion coefficient and linear time inhomogeneous drift. It is well know that the whole line Green's function is given by a Gaussian. Formulas for the Dirichlet Green's function on the half line are only known in special cases. The main object of study in the paper is the ratio of the Dirichlet to whole line Green's functions. Bounds, asymptotic behavior in the limit as the diffusion coefficient vanishes, and a log concavity result are obtained for this ratio. These results have been used in the proof of asymptotic behavior for a simple model of Ostwald ripening.

Published: February 2025

U ovom radu obrađena su kategorije inflacije i monetarne politike. Istina, inflaciju ne generiraju samo monetarni, već i troškovni faktori, ali se njeni efekti u krajnjoj instanci izražavaju u monetarnom smislu. Da bi doveli u vezu inflaciju i monetarnu politiku potrebno je obe kategorije pobliže analizirati. Tako je inflacija obrađena preko njenog definisanja, istorijskog razvoja od prvih početaka do danas. Svim definicijama zajedničko je to da one tvrde da inflacija obezvrjeđuje novac i imovinu. Iako postoji više teorija inflacije, sintetički posmatrano, najvažnije su dvije teorije: inflacija izazvana povećanjem tražnje (inflacija tražnje) i inflacija troškova. Istina, svaka od ovih teorija ima određene podvarijante, dok na primjer psihološka teorija smatra da vrijednost novca, pa i cijene roba, zavise o ljudskom ponašanju i očekivanjima. Monetarna politika predstavlja skup mjera koje poduzima društvo u sferi monetarnih faktora stvaranja, poništavanja i raspodjele kupovne snage, odnosno u sferi monetarnih finansija, kojima se reguliše novčani opticaj u cilju održavanja dinamičke ravnoteže. U ovom radu predmet analize su njeno definisanje, zadaci i karakter monetarne politike. Nakon toga, predmet razMatranja je kako monetarna politika utiče na inflaciju i obrnuto.

Tujuan dari penelitian ini adalah untuk menyelidiki kebijakan ekonomi yang diterapkan selama pemerintahan Khulafaur Rasyidin, dengan penekanan khusus pada pengelolaan zakat. Setiap khalifah Abu Bakar, Umar bin Khattab, Utsman bin Affan, dan Ali bin Abi Thalib mengadopsi kebijakan yang berbeda untuk mengelola zakat, yang berkontribusi pada peningkatan kesejahteraan masyarakat. Studi ini menyelidiki pengelolaan zakat selama pemerintahan empat khalifah melalui pendekatan kualitatif dan historis. Studi menunjukkan bahwa Umar memperluas cakupan objek zakat dan mendirikan Baitul Mal, sedangkan Khaliah Abu Bakar dikenal karena ketegasannya dalam mengelola zakat. Utsman mempertahankan kebijakan sebelumnya yang berfokus pada distribusi zakat, sementara Ali tetap menekankan penyaluran zakat yang cepat dan merata meskipun kondisi politik tidak stabil.
PENDIDIKAN ISLAM DAN DEKADENSI MORAL
Authors: Jumrianah  
Published: February 2025

Pendidikan Islam pada dasarnya merupakan upaya pembinaan dan pengembangan potensi manusia agar tujuan kehadirannya di dunia ini sebagai hamba Allah dan sekaligus khalifah Allah tercapai sebaik mungkin. Potensi yang dimaksud meliputi potensi jasmaniah dan rohaniah seperti akal, perasaan dan kehendak dan aspek rohaniah lainnya. Dalam wujudnya pendidikan Islam dapat menjadi upaya umat secara bersama, atau upaya lembaga kemasyarakatan yang memberikan jasa pendidikan bahkan dapat pula menjadi usaha manusia itu sendiri untuk mendidik dirinya sendiri. Tujuan pendidikan, baik pendidikan umum ataupun pendidikan agama selalu mengidealkan terciptanya sikap anak didik menjadi dewasa, yakni dewasa intelektualnya, dewasa emosionalnya, lebih-lebih dewasa spritualnya
Istilah dekadensi moral adalah terdiri dari dua kata, yaitu dekadensi dan moral, dekadensi berarti kemunduran, kemerosotan, (tentang kebudayaan, kesenian dan akhlak), Sedangkan moralitas adalah sebuah pranata seperti halnya agama, politik, bahasa dan sebagainya yang sudah ada sejak dahulu kala dan diwariskan secara turun temurun.
Menghadapi tatanan modern saat ini untuk mencegah tejadinya dekadensi moral bagi generasi muda, pembinaan genearsi muda melalui pendidikan Islam sangat dibutuhkan.
ANÁLISE DE DESEMPENHO DE UMA REDE DEFINIDA POR SOFTWARE

Published: February 2025

Atualmente, as redes de computadores se tornaram parte essencial da infraestrutura de TI. Hoje, inúmeras aplicações “rodam” sobre a Internet, aplicações essas que não foram imaginadas no projeto inicial das redes de computadores. Com o objetivo de suportar o número crescente de aplicações e usuários, diversos “remendos” foram sendo feitos ao longo dos anos. Entretanto, substancialmente, o núcleo da rede se manteve o mesmo. Os softwares de switches e roteadores não podem ser reprogramados e novas ideias e protocolos não podem ser testados em uma rede em produção, fato esse sugerimos nas redes definidas por software.

Este trabalho vem analisar o comportamento das principais métricas de desempenho da rede neste novo paradigma. Uma rede SDN é emulada à plataforma Mininet. A carga de trabalho é introduzida e as métricas de desempenho de rede como vazão, latência e jitter foram colhidas e analisadas. Isto é muito importante para a observação da qualidade de serviço. A pesquisa na Internet, o método experimental e a abordagem qualitativa fizeram parte da metodologia adotada. Verificou-se que as redes SDN apresentam valores das principais métricas de desempenho equiparáveis às redes tradicionais e quando se toma em consideração o controle central e programação, conseguem garantir um desempenho geral da rede que pode constituir uma mais valia.

Published: February 2025

Background
To adapt to environmental changes, diapausing silkworm eggs remain dormant during the early stages of embryonic development. Various methods have been used to terminate silkworm egg diapause and promote egg hatching.

Methods
To elucidate the molecular mechanisms by which corona and other treatments terminate silkworm egg diapause, we collected eggs at 1, 6, and 20 h after treatments and sequenced their transcriptomes.

Results
The results showed that both corona and hydrochloric acid (HCl) treatments effectively terminated diapause and promoted egg hatching, with corona treatment inducing faster hatching than HCl treatment. Differentially expressed gene (DEG) analysis revealed the presence of fewer DEGs at 1 h, with a marked increase observed at 6 and 20 h post treatment. Functional enrichment analysis showed that the FoxO signaling pathway was activated at 6 h, with more substantial gene expression changes observed after corona treatment. In addition, HCl treatment appeared to activate the heat shock protein and hormone-regulated pathways. Our study results provide a basis for further analysis of the molecular mechanisms underlying diapause termination in silkworm eggs.
Impact of Math Manipulatives on Grade One Pupils’ Attitudes and Academic Achievement
Authors: GUILLERMO BENJIE I. 
Published: February 2025

This study examined the achievement levels of Grade One pupils and their attitudes towards the use of Math Manipulatives in teaching. It was conducted at Mataguisi Elementary School, Pudtol District, Division of Apayao, during the School Year 2023-2024. It specifically aimed to: 1) profile the respondents based on sex, educational attainment of parents, occupation of parents, and monthly income; 2) analyze the attitudes of the pupils towards Math Manipulatives; 3) determine any significant differences in these attitudes and achievements when pupils are grouped according to profile variables; and 4) assess the relationship between attitudes and achievement levels in mathematics. Since the enrollment of the school was small and manageable, complete enumeration was used. Data were gathered using a questionnaire checklist specifically designed to capture pupils' attitudes towards Math Manipulatives, while academic achievements were determined from final grades recorded in the School Report Cards. The collected data were tabulated, analyzed, and interpreted using frequency counts, means, percentages, and weighted means alongside a five-point Likert scale for attitude assessment. Findings revealed that most parents of the respondents had attained only elementary education, and they were predominantly employed in low-income occupations. The overall mean score for pupils’ attitudes towards Math Manipulatives was 4.08, reflecting a general agreement among pupils on the positive effects of these teaching tools. Significant differences in attitudes based on the sex of the pupils were noted, while no significant differences were found regarding educational attainment or occupations of parents. The pupils achieved a weighted mean of 86.09%, categorized as “Very Satisfactory.” The study concludes that the use of manipulatives in mathematics instruction fosters greater interest, engagement, and self-confidence among pupils, contributing to enhanced academic performance. It is recommended that educators integrate manipulatives into curricular activities to support positive attitudes and achievements in mathematics education.
