Security Breaches Of Mobile Ad-Hoc Networks (MANET) - A Review

2024-04-16T12:50:14+00:00

Security is an essential part of any network, wired or wireless. Attackers can combine active and passive methods to penetrate otherwise undetectable routing in message and data packets, making any connection between mobile nodes in an unfamiliar environment extremely vulnerable. In this piece, we focus on the most pressing security threats facing mobile ad hoc networks. Due of its lack of protection against malicious actors, MANET can be accessed by anyone. A major MANET objective is the development of a fool proof security system capable of protecting the network against a wide range of routing assaults, even in the presence of malicious nodes. However, these approaches are flawed due to the limited resources of MANETs, such as battery life and network bandwidth. A mobile ad hoc network can operate in isolation from or in tandem with a traditional wired network. The adaptability and self-organization of MANETs are both their greatest strength and their greatest security vulnerability. This book discusses both active and passive routing attacks, such as black holes, spoofing, wormholes, and floods. Passive assaults are also discussed, such as traffic monitoring, traffic analysis, and eavesdropping.

Analysis Of Feature Extraction Techniques In Different Contrast Enhanced CT Images Of Liver

2024-04-17T12:38:45+00:00

Feature extraction is an important part of segmentation techniques applied to images. Extraction of various features mean identification of different attributes that characterize an image. This process is quite challenging because of the image resolution and its complexity. In this paper we are trying to detect the cancerous tissues from the liver organ where the extraction of tissue features further requires differentiating between the cancerous and non-cancerous tissue patches. It is important to identity texture features that best describe a healthy and an unhealthy tissue from the digital image. Also, it is necessary to include a good number of texture features for better classification. In this paper, two feature extraction techniques, namely Gray-Level Co-Occurance Matrix (GLCM) and Gray-level run-length matrix (GLRLM) are used for identifying the texture characteristics of tumor in liver organ. These techniques depend on the spatial distribution of intensity values or gray levels in the liver region. The extracted features are then classified using SVM classifier. The accuracy of the model is satisfactory and effective for tumor diagnosis and decision making process for treatment of tumor.

Difficulties During Translation From Arabic To Azerbaijani

2024-04-06T10:52:36+00:00

Throughout the course of human history, societies have utilized translation as a means of communication for various purposes such as scientific, cultural, literary and diplomatic exchanges. This involves the transfer of knowledge and resources from one society or language to another, allowing for effective interaction and understanding between different cultures and languages. Translation is a process that involves certain guidelines and techniques, but it is also fraught with challenges. This study delves into the various obstacles that translators face in their line of work.

In our research, we focus on addressing the issue of reading difficulty, which is caused by a structural problem. It is widely known that the Arabic language has very limited use of gestures, which makes it challenging to read consonants and hinders accurate interpretation and translation. This lack of gestural cues poses a significant obstacle to achieving correct meaning and conveying information effectively. Grammatical challenges can cause problems in the translation process. (Tanrıkulu 2016) Even individuals with a strong understanding of grammar may face obstacles. One solution to overcome these difficulties is by applying the rules of Arabic I'rab in practical situations and with ample exposure to written texts. The difficulties are further elaborated through the use of sample sentences and texts, and recommendations for successfully translating such sentences are provided. (Aydın, F 2006)

Social Affiliations In M. G. Vassanji's No New Land

2024-04-08T08:50:29+00:00

Living under another sky is not always smooth for human migrators. Initially, the new land may seem promising and bustling with activities, but as time passes unexpected hardships arise. Despite being good-natured and hardworking, migrants often feel like intruders and experience loneliness and longing for their native land. To escape these afflictions, they seek affiliations with groups of like-minded persons to protect themselves from the challenges of living in an alien land. This paper explores how social togetherness proves to be an effective remedy for healing the traumatic experiences encountered by immigrants in a foreign country. Due to British colonial rule over Asian and African continents, Indian workers were sent in large numbers from India to Africa throughout the nineteenth century. These labourers were recruited to construct the railroads that linked the three British colonies in East Africa—Kenya, Tanzania, and Uganda. While the immigration of Indian labourers is viewed as a kind of colonialism, their removal during the years after the independence can be seen as a part of decolonization. Though they were accused of failing to support the Africans who were then involved in armed resistance against the British colonialists, the Indians were forced to flee Africa. This paper attempts to study the experiences of these deported Indians as they are described in M.G. Vassanji. The Canadian author M.G. Vassanji's family was likewise expelled from Dar es salaam, Tanzania. He also discusses the Indian Shamsi’s scrupulous adherence to the many social and cultural norms and how they encountered in their new country, Canada. This study looks at the migrant population's experiences and the affiliation topic. This study will try to argue how steadfastly South Asian Canadians adhere to their ethnic ideals. The article will explain the social affiliation before demonstrating how the author approaches affiliation as a necessary component of the community's ethnic record.

2024-04-17T07:51:32+00:00

One way to measure the effectiveness of the tax system is through tax buoyancy, which refers to the total response of tax revenue to changes in national income. Therefore, this research aims to determine the simultaneous and partial effects of the service sector and imports on tax buoyancy in Asia-Pacific countries, using Regulatory Quality as a moderator. The study adopts a quantitative descriptive method with panel data regression analysis. The econometric model is estimated using the Random Effect Model (REM). The research findings indicate that the service sector and imports, as well as the moderated interaction between the service sector and imports, have a significant influence on tax buoyancy in the Asia-Pacific region. Partially, the study reveals that the service sector has a positive and significant impact on tax buoyancy, while Regulatory Quality and the import sector do not affect tax buoyancy. Moreover, Regulatory Quality weakens the positive relationship between the service sector and tax buoyancy and it also weakens the negative relationship between the import sector and tax buoyancy. Based on these findings, governments should formulate comprehensive economic and fiscal policies that integrate various sectors to enhance tax buoyancy and strengthen the tax base in Asia-Pacific countries.

2024-04-16T10:57:07+00:00

Community-based credit unions (CCUs) occupy a unique position within the Ghanaian economy because of their special role in facilitating payments and channeling credit to individuals and businesses in remote areas. Internal control policy mechanisms are critical to their financial performance. To determine significant internal control policy predictors of financial performance, an ordinal logistic regression model is applied. Data was collected from 105 registered and operational CCUs in Ghana using multistage stratified sampling. Statistically significant internal control policy predictors of CCUs’ financial performance were organizational environment (OR=0.34, 95% CI: 0.21, 0.56), monitoring (OR=0.38, 95% CI:0.22,0.65), risk assessment and control (OR=1.52, 95% CI: 1.05, 2.21). A statistically significant interactive relationship was also found between organizational environment and risk assessment and control (OR=3.76, 95% CI: 1.88, 7.61). The financial performance of CCUs appears to depend on a complex combination of internal control policy predictors.

"Siddhar Science: Nurturing Intellectual Properties for A Meaningful Life"

2024-04-15T06:01:38+00:00

The Siddha system of medicine stands as one of the most ancient and profound medical traditions in India. Rooted in the rich tapestry of Siddhar science and interwoven with Tamil literature, this holistic approach to healing has been passed down through generations. Auvaiyar, a distinguished Tamil poetess from the Sangam period, encapsulated the essence of Siddha wisdom with the verse, "Unbathunaazhi, Udauppathunaangumuzham, Enbathukodininainthennuvana," underscoring the boundless nature of human thoughts amid the limitations of food and attire. At its core, Siddha is synonymous with the extroverts, and those adept at managing and channeling their thoughts are revered as Siddhars. The fundamental principles of Siddha medicine are encapsulated in the concept of 96 Thathuvas. These include the Aimpootham (5 Elements), Aimpori(5 organs of sense), Aimpulan (5 object senses), and the four intellectual faculties known as Anthakaranam (Mind, Intellect, Volition, Egotism), along with Arivu (Wisdom) and Atta Ragam (8 predominant passions).

The 8 Ragams, namely Kamam (Lust), Kurotham (Anger or Hostility), Lobam(Miserliness), Mogam (Infatuation), Matham(Haughtiness), Marchariyam(Jealousy), Idumbai (Mockery), and Agangaram (Egotism), are activated within the Anthakaranam (Intellectual properties). Life, according to Siddha philosophy, is a journey rather than a destination. The 18 Siddhars assert that by mastering the control of these 8 Ragams and Anthakaranam, individuals can attain a life that is not only worthwhile but also peaceful. In essence, Siddha medicine offers a profound pathway to holistic well-being, emphasizing the importance of understanding and harmonizing the internal elements of the mind. By navigating the complexities of human thoughts and emotions, individuals can embark on a fulfilling and meaningful journey, transcending the limitations imposed by external circumstances.

A chaotic, non-stationary, and intricate system, the stock market is always changing. A large number of people find value in this investing platform. The stock market is still a great place to make money, but investors are wary of it because of the inherent uncertainty in the banking sector and a number of other factors.Many several aspects that often pass unnoticed by innocent investors. If you want to succeed in the stock market, you need to be able to focus on the here and now while also giving some thought to how today's events may affect tomorrow. As a result, many investors encounter the possibility of failure every day. The current situation calls for a Decision Support System (DSS) that can determine the optimal time to buy stocks and which stocks to buy based on market trends, financial research, and strategy.To help individual investors make informed stock market purchases and sales, this study proposes the creation of an AI-based decision support system (DSS). To remove the behavioral biases inherent in human decision-making and to provide reasonably accurate long-term stock price predictions, the financial decision-support system must be based on mathematical modeling of the different financial characteristics. In this study, we primarily examined the use of two Machine Learning Models: Linear Regression and Artificial Neural Networks (ANNs). We discovered that ANNs outperform Linear Regression in terms of accuracy because of their capacity to produce non-linear outputs. Additionally, we discovered that ANNs are better suited for deep learning applications, as they can solve complicated financial regression problems using their multiple hidden layers. Neural networks powered by artificial intelligence (AI) have the potential to transform the way people make investing and financial decisions in almost every way.

Loanwords In The Valley Of Presheva

2024-04-08T07:59:17+00:00

For various reasons, loanwords usually become part of the informal language. This can be seen in the case of the Albanian language due to long invasions, proximity, or neighborhood with the Balkans people, which has led to the use of borrowed words from different languages even today.

It is commonly thought and said that the main carriers of loanwords or the causes of linguistic interference are bilinguals. In addition, there are many other social and linguistic factors that influence these cases. The language does not accept any foreign element. There are rare cases where foreign elements that are layered into the receiving language as opposed to those that accept to be introduced into that language. However, over time, those elements can be accumulated slowly and one day they can overwhelm a receiving language (Nuhiu, 1990, p.9).

The research is based on a certain corpus of recorded narratives from one hundred interviewees in the regions of Eastern Kosovo in Bujanoc and Preševo from two Albanian-speaking countries. This is through the descriptive approach, in order to identify and describe, on the one hand, the linguistic variables that characterize the linguistic variety of that area. Thus, in a mutual way, the degree of linguistic influence of one variation on the other is also investigated, while certain linguistic elements, according to the statistical approach, are also investigated in terms of the density of their use. The research results of this quantitative study derived on the basis of statistical data as well as their interpretation, lead us to the answers to the issues that are of interest to us.

Sexual violence against women is not new and it repeats itself again and again. Life after being raped is accompanied by trauma, identity crisis, shame, and guilt. This paper wants to examine various impact of trauma on the victims of sexual abuse especially rape. As one person is different from the other, the effect of trauma also differs across people. Life of a raped victim is not easy. It is very difficult to find the whole self, re-establish the self-identity, trust, and control again. The impact of trauma can be positive as well as negative. While some survivors achieve mental strength after recovering from the difficult situation, others may lose interest in life and feel worthless. This paper uses concepts from Feminist Theory and Trauma Theory, to examine the context of sexual violence against women, and the aftermath of violence especially how trauma affects the victims.

Optimizing Semi-Automatic Semantic Matched Searching Concept

2024-04-13T06:20:28+00:00

The Semantic web presents an opportunity to convey the meanings of web documents in a format understandable by machines. However, the majority of web content remains in a format intended for human consumption, and it's anticipated that creators and developers will continue to prefer this format due to its simplicity. To bridge this gap and realize the vision of the Semantic Web, two main approaches have emerged: annotating information sources with machine-accessible semantics or developing programs to extract semantics from web sources. This proposed research aims to identify documents retrieved from web servers based on knowledge extraction using a Semi-automated semantic matching concept. This matching concept aids users in selecting the appropriate document categorized into factual, procedural, and conceptual based on Bloom's taxonomy. The analysis involves iterating through grammatical rules to apply those relevant and determining if a valid stem is found. The SAS algorithm entails complex grammatical rules, such as removing multiple suffixes and prefixes, which can lead to variations in results. One factor influencing the outcome is whether the algorithm requires the output word to be a real word in the given language. Some approaches don't mandate the word's existence in a lexicon database, while others maintain a database of known word roots that are actual words. Optimization is provided by the SAS algorithm through its efficient memory utilization and swift execution, enhancing overall performance.

Design Of An Iterative Method For Optimizing Agricultural Productivity And Crop Quality Using Graph-Based Q-Learning And Nutrient-Action Frameworks

2024-04-17T08:59:38+00:00

Agricultural sustainability and productivity are paramount for feeding the ever-growing global population under fluctuating environmental conditions & scenarios. Traditional fertilization and crop management strategies often fall short in optimizing nutrient usage and enhancing crop quality due to their generalized nature and inability to adapt to local environmental changes. Current methodologies lack precision in addressing the intricate dependencies between various nutrients and environmental factors affecting crop growth and quality. In response to these limitations, this study introduces a novel approach utilizing graph-based Q-learning, applied in two distinct but complementary domains: Nutrient Level Evaluation and Fertilizer Recommendation, and Crop Quality Prediction and Improvement Scenarios. The core of our methodology lies in the construction of Nutrient-Action and Quality-Action Graphs, where nodes represent the quantifiable levels of soil nutrients or crop quality parameters, and edges symbolize actionable measures such as specific fertilizer applications or farming practices adjustments. Our proposed models leverage the flexibility and learning capability of Q-learning, a form of reinforcement learning, to navigate the constructed graphs efficiently. This enables the algorithm to discern optimal strategies by iteratively learning from the environment and updating policies based on the observed outcomes, thus accommodating the dynamic nature of agricultural systems. The nutrient-action graph model focuses on optimizing the amount of each critical nutrient (e.g., nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium) tailored to the specific crop and soil types, considering environmental factors like temperature and humidity. Simultaneously, the quality-action graph model predicts and improves crop quality by recommending adjustments in farming practices based on historical data, environmental conditions, and existing agricultural practices. The integration of these models into the agricultural decision-making process represents a significant advancement over traditional methods. Preliminary results suggest that our approach could lead to a 10-20% increase in crop yield and quality, outperforming conventional fertilization techniques. Furthermore, our crop quality improvement strategies, informed by predictive analytics, indicate potential enhancements in crop nutritional content and disease resistance by 5-15%, contingent upon the agricultural context and interventions employed in real-time scenarios. This work impacts the agricultural sector by providing a scalable, data-driven framework for personalized crop management and fertilization strategies. By harnessing the power of Q-learning and graph-based representations, we offer a sophisticated tool for enhancing food security, minimizing environmental impacts, and promoting sustainable farming practices worldwide.

The dialectic of integrative thought and its epistemological role Contemporary vision

2024-04-15T11:52:54+00:00

This era has witnessed a significant scientific and research struggle regarding the importance of epistemological integration, in terms of its reality and justifications.

The research endeavored to highlight the aspects of integration and the components of cognitive sciences, while not neglecting to clarify that comprehending scientific development is a difficult matter. This is because it is one of the foundations upon which the theory of knowledge has been established in the development of all scientific fields and on all levels.

The research also emphasized that the rise and flourishing of Islamic civilization was nothing but an inevitable result of the integration between knowledges, through the necessity of epistemological integration. And the research highlighted a number of facts after the groundwork was prepared for them; the research clarified the importance and necessity of incorporating all types of knowledge and sciences – cosmic, natural, religious, and others – within the term Islamic thought, considering that all knowledge and sciences in Islam are complementary, each completing the other.

This means the necessity of laying the foundation for building a solid knowledge base that relies on a new reading, leading to a common and realistic understanding that aligns with the changes of the modern era and its enormous intellectual challenges.

Therefore, it has become imperative to warn the public from delving into understanding scientific issues and building their perceptions based on their own private readings that are not disciplined by the fundamentals and rules of scientific and academic thinking.

The research emphasizes that epistemology does not mean a final break with the past, but rather it is a gradual cultural transformation, from a traditional culture that expresses an old environment and interprets the world in a traditional way, to a developed culture capable of understanding technology and the manifestations of renewal that modernity carries with it.

Intelligent Document Classification In Online Library Management Using Hybrid Deep Learning Model

2024-04-17T09:55:12+00:00

Intelligent document classification has gained significant importance in online library management, as it facilitates efficient organization and retrieval of electronic documents. Traditional document classification methods involve manual labeling and sorting, which can be time-consuming and prone to errors. In recent years, deep learning models have been successfully applied to document classification tasks, achieving high accuracy and reducing the need for manual intervention. However, these models often require massive amounts of labeled data to train effectively. This paper proposes a hybrid deep-learning model for intelligent document classification in online library management. The model combines the strengths of both convolutional neural networks (CNNs) and recurrent neural networks (RNNs) to effectively classify a wide range of document types, including text, images, and multimedia files. The CNN component extracts features from documents, while the RNN component learns temporal dependencies between documents. This allows more accurate classification of documents with complex structures and varying lengths. We evaluate the performance of our model using a real-world dataset of documents from an online library. The results show that our hybrid model outperforms traditional and single-model approaches, achieving a classification accuracy of over 95%. Furthermore, the model can adapt to new document types with minimal retraining, making it a versatile and robust solution for intelligent document classification in online library management.

2024-04-10T08:32:12+00:00

SMEs play significant role in the country’s socio economic growth. SMEs generally have capital requirements for the expansion and growth through capital expenditures. Indian SMEs are allowed to raise the capital through public offerings of securities and these SMEs have specifically designated platforms like BSE SME and NSE EMERGE to list their securities which are offered to public. Therefore this study is an attempt to inspect the relationship and effect of key financials and non-financial information on post listing performance of small medium enterprises (SMEs) public offerings. Secondary data is used to analyze the performance of Indian SMEs IPOs under this study. Data related to key-financials and non-financial disclosures are taken from SMEs IPOs draft red herring prospectus DRHP and red-herring prospectus RHPs. Data of SMEs stock prices, issue prices, offer prices and market indices are collected from BSE SME websites and NSE emerge websites according to the SMEs listing on their respective stock exchanges. Data of SMEs public offerings subscriptions are taken from basis of allotment documents SMEs IPOs. Based on secondary data analysis it is inferred that Key-financials and non-financial disclosures may be used to assess the value of post listing closing prices of SMEs public offerings up to great and significant extent for upcoming SME IPOs. These non-financial disclosures and key-financials would be mainly used to do the valuations of SMEs IPOs post listing prices after one month, three months, six months, nine months and one year which would be helpful in better decision making and valuations for SMEs stock investors in the secondary market. As the time gap from the listing day increase the determination capacity of valuation models for post listing prices come down this concludes that in the long run updated key-financials and non-financial disclosures information might be useful for better determination of post listing share prices for SMEs stock which have already listed for more than nine months on SME stock exchanges.

Contextualizing Human Trafficking In India: A Critical Reflection

2024-04-14T08:54:53+00:00

Human Trafficking is one of the oldest forms of crime existing in current times. Humans have been victims of trafficking on various pretexts like labour, slavery, trade and so on. There have been various regulations put in place globally and in various countries to tackle the menace of human trafficking. There has been a trend of seeing human trafficking only interms of prostitution thus restricting the efforts to deal with human trafficking per se prostitution only. Therefore, it is evident we find numerous laws and other measures which have constantly tackled the issue of prostitution as a form of human trafficking. However, with the advent of time a nuanced understanding of human trafficking was built wherein labour trafficking emerged as an increasing form of human trafficking. Thus, what we are currently witnessing is the reconceptualization of human trafficking by including new forms of labour trafficking within its ambit. This has further increased the scope of human trafficking by seen migration for labour as an interconnected web within the prism of trafficking.

The Ontological Characteristics And Construction Mechanism Of Low-Carbon Art In Chinese Kung Fu Films

2024-04-13T12:57:24+00:00

The essence of beauty resides in the liberation of emotions. In comparison to natural objects, artistic objects have a greater propensity to evoke intense and unrestrained emotions in aesthetic subjects. Researchers have categorized these emotions into three types based on their quality and quantity: enlightening free emotion, sensory free emotion, and immersive free emotion. Low-carbon art refers to an artistic text that incorporates objective truth as its defining characteristic in textual composition, while also incorporating intuitive truth, surrealistic truth, or subjective truth as its fundamental condition. Through interaction with aesthetic subjects, low-carbon art stimulates enlightening free emotion and promotes both physical and mental well-being for the individuals involved. Objective truth serves as the necessary and sufficient condition for creating a low-carbon artistic text. There are two primary approaches to achieving objective reality within a low-carbon art text: one is grounded in intuitive reality or surrealistic reality; the second is rooted in subjective truth.

On Complexity Of Governance In Higher Education In India

2024-04-18T11:10:07+00:00

Although the presence of industrialism (or market) is, as Polanyi (2001) made clear, neither non existential ever before last century nor went undisputed about its length and depth in modern society but sheer shift from state to market in recent decades has attracted enormous attention from different scholars. In this sense, education that has been closely attached with market and state-or its institutional mechanism- inevitability undergoes changes but what would be scale of market is on-going debate especially in a country where the requirement of expenditure, even at elementary level, on education neither met during colonial regime nor in more than six decades of independence. Unfortunately, however, most of the assumptions regarding the predominantly benign and progressive origins of higher education under state apparatus remain for the most part untested and abstract. This paper attempts to address this scholastic lacuna based on secondary data. It is divided into three parts. First, this paper critically assess the main existing understanding about ‘education’ that purport to explain the causal mechanisms behind the rational of education with state and the establishment of state apparatus around education.Second, it suggests that the trend toward complexity of governance structure is hardly driven by politicians’ genuine commitment to democracy, social justice, or universal rights. Rather, it is best understood as the product of a strategic interplay among hegemonic yet threatened political elites, influential economic stakeholders, and bureaucracy. Above mentioned self-interested groups tend to form coalitions to determine the timing, extent, and nature of governance structure of higher education leading to the rise of private players. Thirdly, it analyses the opening of market and jobs demands the ‘skilled’ base knowledge to which government institution seems to be insufficiently equipped with.

Public Expenditure And Its Impact On Some Macroeconomic Variables In Iraq - A Standard Study For The Period (2004-2022)

2024-04-15T07:11:44+00:00

The research aims at the impact of public expenditures on certain macroeconomic variables in Iraq for the period 2004-2022, by building a standard model showing the impact of public expenditures on certain macroeconomic variables in Iraq for the period 2004-2022.

One of the main findings of the research is that public expenditures are among the most important and effective instruments of fiscal policy in achieving economic growth, especially investment expenditures. Public expenditures have fluctuated considerably during the period of research and investment expenditures have not received the intended percentage. As well as remaining high unemployment, especially disguised unemployment, and thus the low role of public expenditures in addressing structural imbalances in the Iraqi economy and hence the desired economic instability. This is what the research hypothesis has been, and in case public expenditures are squeezed, as was the impact of the global financial crisis in 2009. As well as the twin crises of 2014, 2020), the trade-off between current and investment expenditures usually goes to sacrifice investment expenditures at the expense of current expenditures. The latter relates to wages and salaries, a paragraph that is difficult to prejudice. Therefore, investment expenditures are often sacrificed, through which some of the Government's programmers can be abandoned impacts on members of society are indirect and intangible, other than the reduction of current expenditures directly affecting individuals, which is usually avoided by Governments, However, it was easier in cases of popularity, revenue growth and the resulting escalation of expenditures, in such cases the increase included general expenditures (Consumption and investment), as well as slower growth of public revenues and unmatched growth of public expenditures, as a result of the heavy reliance on oil revenues, which account for more than one percentage (95%) of the total public revenues, due to the volatility of its prices in the global markets and the reflection of those fluctuations on the public revenues positively and negatively, and then intuitively the impact of those revenues on the amount of the general budget, This raises concerns about the future of Iraq's economy unless the Government makes urgent and politically and economically effective decisions, and the general budget has suffered a continuing deficit in a number of years. The deficit is due to the expansionist approach of the Convention's policy in the Iraqi economy, the volatility of revenue growth and its incompatibility with public expenditures. The instability of Iraq's political reality, coupled with the decline in oil prices, Due to the decline in global demand, which coincided with the coronavirus pandemic, creating a deficit in the public budget and an economic crisis that may continue and worsen and will be the biggest losing citizen. The coronavirus pandemic and its repercussions on the Iraqi government, especially the oil sector, and its subsequent economic and financial impacts are the stop of reviewing economic reality and changing fiscal policies during the previous period. The Iraqi economy has the potential to be exploited in order to improve Iraq's economy and confront deficits and financial risks.

The study recommended: the need to diversify public revenue sources and not rely on a single source of oil, that is, to create more than one source of public revenue financing by adopting innovative financing methods. In order to avoid the associated effects on fluctuations in oil prices, as well as the need to rationalize public expenditures and avoid waste of expenditures by activating the role of financial control, fighting financial corruption and eliminating unnecessary expenditures, as well as the need to restructure public expenditures and adopt policies that prioritize the expansion of investment spending and reduce current expenditures (Consumer) for its important role in expanding the productive capacities of the Iraqi economy and addressing the problems of the Iraqi economy, particularly unemployment, and the need to support non-oil productive sectors (Industrial and agricultural) through optimal use of resources, which contribute to the provision of goods and services in order to enhance the local economy's ability to cope with volatility and external crises. As well as operating available labor force components, thus achieving economic stability, as well as working to alleviate the general budget deficit by pursuing a comprehensive reform policy in accordance with a comprehensive and integrated plan or programmer to rebuild Iraq's economy. Reduce financial and administrative corruption and the public sector's engagement with the private sector in the preparation of short- and long-term plans and programmers to eliminate unemployment in Iraq because of its negative effects on social and security realities by increasing investment in core projects that result in reduced unemployment rates and the further development and rehabilitation of human capital, as well as its active contribution to the development and growth of the economy.

Residential Affiliation In M.G. Vassanji’s Novel “No New Land”

2024-04-08T09:15:42+00:00

The historical context of Indian labourers moving to East Africa due to British colonialism, and their subsequent departure during the decolonization period, is a backdrop to many of Vassanji's novels. This displacement forms a foundation for exploring the themes of belonging and identity within the immigrant experience. The Indian community’s relocation from Africa to Canada, as depicted in "No New Land," touches upon the intricacies of their identity crisis. Having been uprooted twice—first from India to Africa, and then from Africa to Canada—these immigrants face unique challenges in defining their sense of home and belonging. The concept of an ethnic enclave is used in the novel to depict this struggle, where the immigrant protagonists choose to live in a predominantly South Asian residential building in Don Mills. An ethnic enclave, like the one in "No New Land," can offer a sense of security and community for immigrants by providing a familiar cultural landscape within an unfamiliar country. However, as the novel illustrates, such enclaves can also lead to what Vassanji terms "residential affliction," a condition where immigrants might feel confined within their cultural community, which could hinder their integration into the wider society. The "Affliction" in the novel and the broader experience of the immigrant community represents the pain and challenges of maintaining one's cultural heritage while facing the pressures of assimilation and acceptance in a new land. Vassanji’s depiction of these experiences in his novels invites readers to understand the intricacies of immigrant life, the emotional and cultural dilemmas faced by those who live in ethnic enclaves, and how these factors contribute to the collective ethnic record of the community.

2024-04-10T07:28:40+00:00

An innovative cryptographic cloud forensics technique designed to improve security in machine learning (ML) settings is presented in the abstract. Data security and confidentiality are becoming increasingly important as cloud-based machine learning systems become more widely used. In an effort to reduce security risks and increase confidence in cloud-based machine learning systems, this technology incorporates cryptography techniques into the forensic investigation process. Delicate information can be handled and broke down securely without compromising protection by using cryptographic procedures, for example, homomorphic encryption and secure multi-party calculation. The suggested method allows for effective forensic investigations in the event of security incidents in addition to providing protection against unauthorized access and data breaches. Both decision trees (DT) and random forests (RF) have accuracy results of 100% for each type of assault detection. The techniques employed for the second phase of data classification were stochastic gradient descent (SGD) learning and logistic regression (LR), both of which produced results of 98% accuracy. What's more, three encryption calculations — rivest figure (RC4), triple information encryption (3DES), and high level encryption standard (AES) — have been utilized to scramble ordered material in light of need. This data will then be securely stored in the cloud.

The first quarter of the present century has seen growing of use of information and communication technologies (ICT) in healthcare, especially in developing countries like India. In response to the improvement in public health systems made possible by more people using ICT, new technologies for providing healthcare services have been created. In order to utilize ICT in healthcare facilities, the report of the Steering Committee on Health, which was created by the Planning Commission and released for the 12th Plan (2012–2017), said that all health sub-centers, primary health centers, community health centers and district hospitals should be linked to premier tertiary care centers for telemedicine through Skype, WebEx, Google meet and other similar real time audiovisual platforms. The study's main goal is to look at how information and communication technology (ICT) has changed India's health care systems over time and how increasing their use of ICT could make them more accurate, accessible, and efficient. This paper will discuss the growing trend of using information and communication technology (ICT) to run health care systems and how we can use ICT in a smart way to make health care provision easier for everyone. The study's results will likely be used by policymakers, administrators, managers and others involved in healthcare delivery to shift people's behavior toward seeking better healthcare services and meet the growing demand for high-quality healthcare.

In rural India, the primary healthcare system is structured according to population density, with one primary health center (PHC) for every 30,000 people (20000 in tribal and hilly area) and one sub-center for every 5,000 people (3000 in tribal and hilly areas). With 24,375 doctors on duty at PHCs, the doctor-to-population ratio in rural areas is 1:34,000. The global standard, established by the World Health Organization (WHO), is far lower at 1:250.

Microlearning Practices In Blended Educational Contexts: A Qualitative Study

2024-04-18T05:57:46+00:00

On average, the modern learner is believed to check one’s mobile screen nine times an hour. Post-2020, online education has become the most experimented phenomenon with newer forms of pedagogical paradigms emerging consistently claiming better efficacy than the previous one. Mobile learning facilitates flexibility and convenience unlike any other and has made unending possibilities in teaching, assessment and learning. One such attempt is the need to re-engineer the desired content as micro-modules (three to five minutes of video content, shorter nuggets of information to read, quick quizzes and elements of social learning like discussion forums) that can aid learning through mobiles. Microlearning Instructional Design calls for overhauling current e-learning practices considering the specific content and the target learning outcome. To create a purposeful microlearning experience, it is necessary to incorporate a variety of mediums and timeframes of chunked content. Hug’s (2007) three levels of instruction: macro (program level), meso (curriculum level), and micro (bite-sized within a module) posit microlearning as bite-sized information which can be learnt at short bursts and retained by learners through repetition. This paper presents a case of learning conversational skills speaking in English among 60 first-year learners pursuing Electronics and Communication Engineering at Anna University. The instructor’s efforts to integrate microlearning practices in the classroom through appropriate instructional design are documented. Learners’ perceptions are qualitatively analysed to measure the efficacy of microlearning as part of online out-of-classroom learning. By highlighting the big idea using images and texts, learner interest and involvement are enhanced and even granular objectives can be achieved by infusing differentiated instructional techniques. Factoring the heterogeneity of the classroom, the content is re-engineered and segregated into need-to-know and nice-to-know categories which open options to learners who seek additional support.
