Author : Petros Orfanos, Despoina Orfanou |
Abstract | Full Text |
Abstract :Children with ASD are called from an early age to meet social demands and to interact with peers. This fact leads them from a very early age to face difficulties, which specifically concern the creation of social relations, the full awareness of these relations and difficulties in their social integration. Stress levels increase with age and mood disorders and secondary difficulties are often observed. They therefore end up experiencing more loneliness, compared to their normal developing classmates. The present research paper aims to investigate the levels of friendships that develop in three case studies, of a girl and two boys with ASD, after the implementation of targeted teaching interventions. In addition, a comparison of these levels is made according to the gender of the students. The interventions are compatible with the abilities and interests of the three students, so that they are functional and efficient. Development of friendships was observed in all three cases, with higher levels of conversation flow for older children, and with a stronger desire for the girl and more demands from friendships, compared to boys. |

Author : Dr. Zlatko Šram |
Abstract | Full Text |
Abstract :Among many Christians and other religious and spiritual (R/S) groups belief in the demonic is common. Yet no measures exist that enable study of this phenomenon. For theoretical, practical, and research purposes such a measure seems essential. This study reports the development and preliminary psychometric properties of a measure designed to serve this purpose. Four items each in the domains of subjective experience and behavioral engagement were developed. We reasoned that these were interrelated domains. Factor analysis yielded two strongly related factors of four items each that corresponded to subjective feelings and behavioral engagement, accounted for 56.55% of the total variance and correlated 0.62. The measure showed good internal consistency and fits our theoretical model. |

From gender blindness to gender equality policy |
Author : Aziza M. Radjabova |
Abstract | Full Text |
Abstract :How important are gender issues in international relations and world politics The various events taking place in different parts of the world today have led to the inclusion of women in world politics not only as an active subject (in governance, peacekeeping, economic processes), but also as an important object of social relations. It has also become a requirement of the time to focus on womens issues in economic, social and political relations as a segment of the population in need of social protection due to poverty, internal conflicts, diseases, economic and political crises. At the same time, the issue of gender equality has become a voluntary and mandatory obligation for countries. No country in the world has achieved gender equality regardless of its level of development. This inequality has a number of well-established historical foundations. Firstly, long historical evidences prove that womens physical weakness and the task of rearing children had placed them at a disadvantage and made it hard for them to compete with men. This disadvantage had been increased by the exclusion of women from knowledge, from work and from property ownership and political rights. In this article, I try to analyze the importance of gender phenomenon in world politics. Gender blindness of the system had its negative impacts at all spheres that found its proof through historical periods. Today, Gender is not only actual in global peace and stability, but also in sustainability of economic welfare and social maintenance. |

Teachers play a key role to fulfill the desires and expectations of society. They give their best for the all-around development of children. Teachers are truly nation builders. A student never forgets his teachers. Many educationists, scholars, education commissions gave their contribution to achieving the aims and objectives of the nation as well as society.

Abstract | Full Text |
Abstract :The application of e-commerce platforms for retailing agricultural products has been increasingly adopted for several benefits namely market expansion and connection, brand establishment, price improvement as well as the motivation for farmers to actively ameliorate their farming practices, product quality and package. However, this retail method is still lagging far behind in Vietnam - despite the need for digitalization to solve persistent problems, namely the imbalanced supply, demand and accompanied price loss in the traditional distribution channel. Thus, this research aims to investigate the factors that impact the Vietnamese farmers intention to adopt e-commerce platforms for fresh produce retail. The paper applies the integrated Technology Acceptance Model and Technology-Organization-Environment framework. Through an online survey, a sample of 344 farmers who produced fruits and vegetables across Vietnam was drawn to confirm the hypotheses of this study. The results showed that there are positive relationships between three factors Perceived usefulness (PU), Perceived Ease of use (PEOU) and Intention to Adopt (INT). Among the variables, technological context (TC) is positively associated with both PU and PEOU, and organizational context (OC) impacts PU positively. Moreover, the environmental context (EC) is shown to positively influence the intention to adopt e-commerce platforms for fresh produce retail. Findings are valuable to the development of e-commerce platforms and policies to promote Vietnamese farmers intention of using e-commerce platforms to retail agricultural products. |

Author : Nova Monaya, Adi Sulistiyono, Burhanudin Harahap |
Abstract | Full Text |
Abstract :As the largest Muslim country in the world, Indonesia, waqf land is calculated at approximately 4.2 billion square meters and cash waqf has a value of at least 180 trillion rupiahs per year. The huge potential of waqf has pushed the government to make it as one of the supporting elements of the national economy. The purpose of this paper is to contribute ideas to the government and other stakeholders such as the Indonesian Waqf Board (BWI) and the nazhirs to see the potential of waqf land in providing affordable housing for communities around the waqf land and utilizing waqf land as sources of land provision. The research method used was normative juridical by approaching the legislation governing waqf land, housing, and civil law, especially contract law. Comparative studies were also used in order to sharpen the analysis in order to develop existing models through the Build Operate Transfer (BOT) approach. The results showed that with the Build operate transfer system, the use of waqf land involving nazhir components, BWI, and investors supported by professional institutions such as notaries/PPAT, lawyers, accountants, bankers, and appraisals will open more opportunities for utilization to make positive contributions, both for the waqf land itself, nazhir and the benefit of the people. This needs to be supported by increasing the professionalism of BWI for the development of BWI organizations, which is carried out by developing the waqf legal system through regulations at the Presidential Regulation level that regulate the management of abandoned waqf lands. |

Author : Derwin Tambunan |
Abstract | Full Text |
Abstract :Indonesia is one of the largest democratic countries in the world and has held 11 general elections nationally. Nonetheless, the electoral process with ballot paper is deemed convoluted, prone to manipulation, requires massive resources and lengthy process and spent extravagant state budget. Electronic voting (e-voting) has been implemented in more than 26 countries, and India has achieved terrific success in 2019 with more than 900 million voters. E-voting in India has answered convoluted and high cost of election problems, and the VVPAT (voter-verified paper audit trail) technology helped prevent fraud potential and manipulation. This study examines the policy transfer of e-voting technology from India into Indonesia s jurisdiction and political context by using literature study and secondary sources of data to support the arguments. The key findings are that e-voting serves a constitutional electoral system that defends effective and efficient democratic election, reduces the margin of error in voting, counting, recapitulation, and significantly reduces the probability of invalid votes, effectively hindering fraudulent practices like vote-buying during recapitulation and preventing dropping illegal ballots into the ballot box. Moreover, e-voting technology also corresponds with High Court No.147 PUU-VII 2009, and if implemented with adequate technology, software and human resources, this method could secure the tenets of direct, general, free, confidential, honesty and fairness. |

Living between two cultures: Muslim Womens Identity in Soueifs In the Eye of the Sun & Janmohameds Love in a Headscarf: Muslim Woman Seeks the One |
Author : Elsayed Abdalla Ahmed |
Abstract | Full Text |
Abstract :This study aimed at negotiating the paradoxical representation of Muslim women identity in two literary text; Ahdaf Soueif’s In the Eye of the Sun (1992) and Shelina Zahra Janmohamed memoir Love in a Headscarf (2009) in a multicultural British society. These two texts show and explore a third space, reclaiming Muslim identity reconciled with Britishness. The two texts run against Orientalist perspective that respectively represent Muslim women as concubines, harem and other apparatuses of female subjugation and thus gives Muslim women a demeaning identity. Both authors refuse to fit into the conventional categories and stereotypes of subservient Muslim women portrayed by Orientalists. Moreover, they attempt to make sense of being British and Muslim and dispel the assumed irreconcilability between Islam and many key traditional British values. Instead of rejecting their Muslim identity, they reconcile it with Britishness. They belong to a British-based growing group of writers who capture the various moments of their life in Britain as Muslims as well as British citizens.

Author : Rosalie Grace S. De La Cruz, D.I.T., Raul D. Deguma, ME |
Abstract | Full Text |
Abstract :Commuting is regularly recurring movement between one s place of residence and place of employment, or research, and in doing so exceed the boundaries of their residential group. The research focuses on the urban – rural bus service commuter’s satisfaction level in the selected settlements in the Municipality of Estancia. Estancia is to represent the Northern part of Western Visayas. This is still in a developing stage, which is yet to reach the advance level of large town. The main objectives are to evaluate the public transport service quality through commuter’s satisfaction survey. A total of 100 questionnaire forms are collected. The result indicates socio – demographic trip characteristics that have affected the level of satisfaction and aspirations of the commuters for potential terminal improvements. It was assessed as acceptability in terms of existing terminal operations, environment, architectural design and location. It offers a deeper understanding of the commuter’s attitude towards public transport and the sense of convenience in public transport services. Other than that, it was found that there is a difference between modes of transport in terms of commuter s preferences over public transport. The result will help to improve the quality of operation of transport providers according to the satisfaction, expectations of the various modes of transport and acts as a guide for possible public transport terminal construction. |

Author : Le Thi Bao Tran, Nguyen Thu Nguyet Minh, Tra Van Dong |
Abstract | Full Text |
Abstract :Particel Swarm Optimization (PSO) is a form of population evolutionary algorithm introduced in the early 1995 by two American scientists, sociologist James Kennedy and electrical engineer. Russell. This thesis mainly deals with the PSO optimization algorithm and the methods of adaptive adjustment of the parameters of the PSO optimization. The thesis also presents some basic problems of PSO, from PSO history to two basic PSO algorithms and improved PSO algorithms. Some improved PSO algorithms will be presented in the thesis, including: airspeed limit, inertial weighting, and coefficient limit. These improvements are aimed at improving the quality of PSO, finding solutions to speed up the convergence of PSO.
After presenting the basic problems of the PSO algorithm, the thesis focuses on studying the influence of adjusting parameters on the ability to converge in PSO algorithms. PSO algorithms with adaptively adjusted parameters are applied in solving real function optimization problems. The results are compared with the basic PSO algorithm, showing that the methods of adaptive adjustment of the parameters improve the efficiency of the PSO algorithm in finding the optimal solutions. |

Advaita Epistemology and Metaphysics - A Critical Analysis |
Author : Dr. Kalo Sona Roy, M.A., M. Phil,Ph.D. |
Abstract | Full Text |
Abstract :In India the philosophers, except the Madhyamika Buddhists and Jayarasi Bhatta, maintain that determination of an object depends on a pramana, a source of cognition. Similarly, pramana depends on prameya padhartha. In the present paper I will deal with the relationship between epistemology and metaphysics from the Advaita point of view.
According to Advaita Vedanta, Brahman is the only highest reality. It does never get contradicted. Brahman is sat-cit-ananda i.e. Eternal Existence, Eternal Consciousness and Eternal Bliss. The three aspects -sot, cit and ananda- constitute the essence of Brahman. Brahman is unknown and unknowable. All sources of cognitions [pramana-s) fail to cognize Brahman. It is avanmanasagacara. The nature of Brahman can be explained through the methods of adhyaropa and apavoda. Advaita Vedanta does not admit any relationship between pramiti and Brahman from the higher standpoint.
The teachers of Advaita Vedanta hold that the relationship between a pramana and a prameya is real from the lower standpoint. In Advaita epistemology prama nacaitanya is called vrtticaitanya. According to Dharmaraja, vrtti means modification of mind in respect of the object of cognition [prameya kara). In visual perception of the jar mind goes out of the body through the eye, reaches the jar and takes the form of the jar. Dharmaraja gives an example of visual perception only. But other teachers of Advaita Vedanta admit two types of antahkaranavrtti - pratyaksavrtti and paroksavrtti. In Advaita Vedanta epistemology, the four factors, namely pramatr, prameya, pramana and pramiti- are conditioned consciousness, which are real in the lower level of existence. All forms of worldly and Vedic behaviors that are connected with valid means of cognition and objects of cognition are illusory (adhyasika).
Notably, the teachers of Advaita Vedanta refuse to accept any relationship between pramiti and Brahman, but they admit the relationship, between pramana and Brahman. They deny brahmajnana, but they admit brahmakara antahkaranavrtti, which is secondarily called brahmajnana. After a careful analysis it comes to light that in Advaita scheme a knowable object (prameya) is related with both pramana and prameya from the lower standpoint whereas Brahman is exclusively related with pramana from higher standpoint. |

Abstract | Full Text |
Abstract :This study examined the role of an international Agency (USAID) and Democratic Election; A Prognosis to the role of Security Personnel in Nigerian 2015 Elections. USAID and other international Agencies have relentlessly assisted both the emerging and consolidating democracies such as Nigeria, in conducting free and fair elections via provision of some forms of technical assistance so as to achieve credible elections and ensure improved governance but in spite of all these, events and happenings from developed democracies and across the globe have shown that the vitality of election security to the credibility of elections cannot be ignored because the conduct of free and fair elections to a large extent depend on the security system available in the country. This study anchored on Elite theory propounded by Paredo and Gaetano with descriptive qualitative method of data collection and Content analysis. It discovered that the fact that consistently undermined democratic consolidation in Nigeria is the varying degrees and measures of electoral violence so it therefore recommends that impartial and unbiased security agencies should be recruited for each election in order to prevent the reoccurrence of electoral violence during each election. |

Moral Decadence in Nigerian Politics: A Philosophical Investigations |
Author : Anikpe Anthony Mbah |
Abstract | Full Text |
Abstract :When Nigeria got her independence in 1960 there were high hopes that she would become one of the greatest nations in the nearest future. Those who made this prediction were not wrong because Nigeria has what it takes to become great. In terms of population, it is not just the most populous but also one of the most talented in the continent. In natural resources, very few countries in Africa can boast of the resources the country parades. However, when these endowments are placed side by side with development in the country, the result becomes discouraging. Currently, one may assert that Nigeria is or at the point of becoming the poverty capital of the world looking at the rate her citizens are fleeing to other countries in search of greener pastures. Using the method of documentation and conceptual analysis, this study examines why Nigeria has not been able to translate its potentials into development indexes. The investigation centres around two research questions: 1) what is the relationship between the lack of development in Nigeria and electoral malpractice and 2) is Nigeria’s inability to translate its potentials to development caused by executive abuse of powers. The paper discovered that moral decadence in the form of electoral malpractice and executive recklessness are the root causes of Nigeria’s political and economic backwardness. It recommended the formation of an enlightened populace who will not only reject but also fight these two ills through civil resistance as the philosopher’s stone that will save Nigeria. |

The Impact of Undecided Voters in Israeli Elections |
Author : Yaron Katz |
Abstract | Full Text |
Abstract :This paper examines the impact of undecided voters in elections campaigns in Israel. The question asked here is if undecided voters can break the political dead-lock which became evident in four consecutive elections in just two years – between 2019 and 2021. The paper argues that the crucial role of undecided voters is the result of four main developments. The first is the multi-party parliamentary system, which allows the voters to swing between different parties and influence on handful of options to form coalition government. The parliamentary system emphasizes the excessive and crucial role of small parties to determine who will be in power – which means that they are in a position to impose their extreme ideology on the entire society. The second is that participation in elections is constantly declining, increasing the impact of motivated voters who follow the campaigns closely before making their final decision. The fact that this audience is persuaded by specific events and not by ideology or social identity allows to maximize the impact of their vote. The third is related to technological and cultural changes. Digital and social media have become popular among Israeli young people and first time voters, allowing them to promote new social and political behavior and bypass the censorship of traditional media and the traditional ideology of non-first time voters and the old political establishment. |

On Syncretic and Polyfunctional Properties of Uzbek and English Participles |
Author : Dildora Ganieva |
Abstract | Full Text |
Abstract :This research aims at studying syncretic properties of participles, and exploring their polyfunctional realization. It is a comparative study of participles in Uzbek and English languages, that belong to different language families, the Altaic and the Indo-European correspondingly, and perhaps, therefore, the studied units in Uzbek are contextually oriented, and in English, they are inherently oriented. The research employs a qualitative method using comparative and componential analyses. The samples in the study are taken from written sources. The findings of the research proves that participles, as being non-finite forms of the verb and therefore considered syncretic units, perform various functions depending on the context they occur. This polyfunctional realization is characteristic to the both languages, although, several functions of participles in the one language are different from participles in the other language. |

Author : Muhammad Zaenudin Mustofa, Eko Soponyono, Pujiyono |
Abstract | Full Text |
Abstract :The independence of the judicial power is one of the main pillars of the rule of law, and if this component does not exist, then we can no longer talk about the rule of law. This study aimed to examine the judicial power in the Indonesian criminal justice system as an independent judiciary to enforce law and justice based on Pancasila. This research used doctrinal law research. The sources of legal information were from primary legal materials (relevant regulations and documents) for further qualitative analysis. The approach used was legislation, conceptual, and analysis in helping to solve the problem formulation. The results of the study indicated that judicial power must be free and impartial, this can only be realized if it is subject to the applicable legal rules.

Author : Happiness Yinyuy, Ph.D |
Abstract | Full Text |
Abstract :This paper examines the challenges or difficulties faced by the Christian Women Fellowship (CWF) Movement of the Presbyterian Church in Cameroon (PCC) in Nso, Bui Division of the North West Region of Cameroon. From its inception, the movement faced a lot of challenges in the Nso area in its evangelization drives although several successes were registered. The CWF has been actively involved in spiritual and socio-economic activities which have affected more positively the lives of women in particular and the entire community in general. The spiritual activities helped to strengthen its members in their Christian faith and the socio-economic lessons also empowered the women to become self-reliant. To carry out this work we use data collected from both the primary and secondary sources. Primary data were mostly collected from archival material and oral interviews conducted with some CWF officials and CWF members alike in the Bui Presbytery. Those interviewed were mostly between the ages of 40 and 80. This choice was dictated by the desire for reliability as most of them lived and experienced some of these challenges personally. Secondary data were collected from documented sources obtained through the use of books. The necessity for interviews was created by the lacunae exposed by archival material and secondary sources. It was realized that despite the successes registered, this group faced challenges such as poor road infrastructure, financial difficulty, cultural constraints, administrative bottlenecks and misconduct of some of its members. |

The data from these 22 studies were meta-analyzed by the standardized effect size difference method or Cohen d for the fixed effects model. All statistical operations were performed using the second edition of comprehensive meta-analysis software.
Results:
The results showed that the average effect size of the studies is 0 434 for the fixed effects model and 0 477 for the random effects, both of which are significant. Because the effect sizes were heterogeneous, moderators were searched. The results showed no significant difference between the effect size of the studied studies according to the research design and the gender of the subjects. However, there was a substantial difference between the effect of studies on the effectiveness of play therapy on children s behavioural disorders according to the subject s age, the type of independent variable and the number of play therapy sessions. Conclusion: Holding play therapy sessions ultimately and in multiple sessions and at a young age can improve more behavioural disorders in children. |

Review of Cashless Economy in Nigeria and the Challenges of Network Infrastructures |
Author : Adigwe, A.I |
Abstract | Full Text |
Abstract :The central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) conceptualized the idea of Cashless Economy in 2011 as part of its blueprint to drive economic development and modernise our payment system in line with the Nation’s Vision 2020 goal of being amongst the twenty most developed economies by the year 2020. The Apex bank of Nigeria then came up with a cashless policy with the view of pegging the amount of physical cash to be withdrawn or deposited at a time in commercial banks. The pilot scheme kick started in Lagos, Kano, Anambra and some other states of Nigeria’s major commercial cities with intention of spreading across all the states of federation and the Federal Capital Territory (FCT). It was designed to reduce but not eliminate the amount of physical cash in circulation and encourage more electronic driven transaction channels. A number of researchers agree that this initiative by the CBN is anchored on the fact that an efficient and digitized payment system positively correlates with economic development, which is believed to be a key indicator for economic growth provided that all other factors are constant. This policy involves deployment of Information and Communication Technology (ICT) gadgets through Computer Network Infrastructures. The Policy aims at reducing cost of banking services, improving the effectiveness of monetary policy in managing inflation as well as driving economic growth and development. However, since its inception, the policy has witnessed a number of challenges such as transaction failures resulting from poor network availability, hidden bank charges by commercial banks and cyber crime attacks. This research, therefore, is an opinion paper in which the researcher presents the challenges facing cashless policy in Nigeria and as well as proffer solutions to the identified challenges. A good number of cashless transaction channels were equally discussed and these include Electronic Cards, Automated Teller Machines (ATM), Mobile Banking, Online banking, Point of Sales (POS), and Near Field Communication (NFC). However, they all seem to have a common challenge (Network failures). The study recommends Five Nines availability (Network uptime of 99.999 percent) and Mesh Network design topology amongst others as recommendations. |

Author : Pahrizul, Lufri |
Abstract | Full Text |
Abstract :The purpose of this development research is to produce ecopreneur-based learning modules that are used as teaching materials for students on Biology subjects. This research was motivated by the lack of availability of teaching materials at Sma Negeri 11 Kerinci and the lack of student ability in solving environmental problems and environmental conservation efforts and students had difficulty in analyzing environmental change data. This type of research is Research and Development research. The development model used in this research is the ADDIE model. The ecopreneur-based Biology learning module for class XI students consists of 5 stages including analysis (analyze), design (design), development (develop), implementation (implementation), and assessment (evaluate). Ecopreneur-based Biology learning modules for class XI students are validated by media, material and language experts. Media validation of the developed module obtains a final value (percentage) with a score of 80% with a valid category. Furthermore, the material expert gave a score of 92% with a very valid category and the linguist validation gave a score of 93.3% with a very valid category. The results of the practicality of modules by teachers towards ecopreneur-based Biology learning modules for class XI students obtained an overall average score of 90% with a very practical category. While the results of practicality by students obtained an overall score of 92.8% with a very practical category. The ecopreneur-based Biology learning modules of class XI students reviewed from the learning results scored 79.5% with a very effective category. Thus, ecopreneur-based Biology learning modules for class XI students can be used in Biology learning in High School (SMA) or equivalent. |

Modernity and Medicalisation of Childbirth in Arunachal Pradesh |
Author : Gora Mamu, Shashank Yadav |
Abstract | Full Text |
Abstract :The process of modernisation is witnessed all around the world. Modernity has impacted every aspect of human life, and this article deals with the impact of Modernity on health in general and childbirth methods in particular. Based on the data from NFHS-3, NFHS-4, and NFHS-5, there has been an increasing trend of institutional delivery and caesarean section delivery in Arunachal Pradesh. The introduction of institutional delivery has been linked with reducing Infant Mortality Rate and Maternal Mortality Ratio. Fewer women and children are dying during the childbirth process due to the introduction of institutional delivery. However, institutionalisation has inevitably resulted in the Medicalisation of childbirth. Moreover, Medicalisation has led to an increase in caesarean section surgery worldwide. The concept of institutional delivery, which is a product of Modernity, is relatively new in the tribal state of Arunachal Pradesh. This study tries to understand the changing childbirth method in the state by undertaking a qualitative study in the Doimukh and Naharlagun region of Arunachal Pradesh. |
